At his house in 1 Stephen’ s Green, Dublin, 
John Law, D. D. bishop of Elphin, and bro- 
ther to Lord Ellenborough. ‘This truly 
venerable prelate was a man of profound 
erudition, and his whole life was devoted to 
the practice of those moral and religious 
duties which he so forcibly inculcated in his 
excellent discourses from the pulpit. —The 
following authentic anecdote ‘eserves 
to be recorded, as furnishing a useful instance 
of the wise and genuine liberality ef his 
character. When he took possession of the 
See of Killala, and Jearnt that almost the 
whole of the population were Roman catho- 
lics, he used these expressions, ‘* That it was 
a hopeless task to make them protestants, it 
would answer every purpose to make them 
good catholics :” and with this view he got 
printed, at his own expense, and distributed 
gratis through the diocese, a new edition of 
the works of the Rev. John Gother, which 
breathe the piety, and, in plain and intelli- 
gible language, inculcate the morality, of the 
bible. The same liberality distinguished 
every action of his li‘e, and is particularly 
observable in. his will. 
Rev. James Whitelaw, vicar of St. Cathe- 
rine’s, Dublin, 5001. Of this gentleman his 
lordship knew noihing but his virtues and 
literary acquirements 3 but to such a mamas 
Dr. Law, they were the best recommen- 
dation. He had previously bestowed upon 
him the living in the diocese of Elphin, held’ 
by the late Dr. Sandford 5 and in his last and 
tedious sickness, was often heard to express 
his satisfaction, that he lived to have an op- 
portunity of shewing him this ma k of his 
friendship and esteem. To Dr. William 
Magee, senior fellow of Trinity college, Dub- 
lin, he has bequeathed a like sum of five 
hundred pounds. This gentleman had also 
no recommendation but his literary talents. 
To Dr. Brinkley, professor of astronomy in 
Trinity coilege, Dublin, he has bequeathed 
five thousand pound with allshis books, va- 
Jued at three thousand pounds. His lord- 
ship died worth forty-five thousand peunds, 
and his legacies, including one thousand 
pounds to his brother, Lord Ellenborough, 
amount, in the whole, to sixteen thousand 
pounds. The remaining twenty-nine thou- 
sand pounds is bequeathed, one-half to his 
widow, Mrs. Law, and the other half dis- 
tributively between his brothers and sisters, 
of whom four survve him. 
Ac St. Valen, near Bray, after a 
lingering and painful illness, which he tore 
with the patience and resignation ofa christian, 
Joseph Cooper Walker, esq. member of many 
literary and philosophical societies. The 
loss of this accomplished scholar will be 
long and eceriy deplored by all true votaries 
of science and the fine arts; but, those 
only who tet had the happiness to be in- 
eluded in the circle of his friends, can justly 
which dignified, and the numerous graces 
MontTury Mac, So, 199, 
He has left to the- 
s 
which adorned, his character. Never was 
there any man who united, in ap higher de- 
gree, the accomplishments of the gentlemany 
with the attainménts of the scholar. His 
polished manners, his refined sentiments, his 
easy flow of wit, his classical taste, and his 
profound erudition, rendered his coaversation 
as fascinating as it was instructive: the rare 
qualities of his heart procured for him the 
most devoted attachment of relatives and 
friends, the affectionate regard of .all who 
knew him, A frame of peculiar delicacy ins 
Capacitated Mr. W. for the exercise of an ace 
tive profession, and early withdrew his mind 
from the busy bustle of the world to the 
more congenial occupations of literary retire- 
ment. The intervals of exemption from pain 
and sickness, which are usually passed in 
languor or in pleasure, were by himedevoted 
to the cultivation of those favourite depart 
ments of literature to which he was guid: d 
not less by natural taste than by early associae 
tion. To seek for that best of blessings—= 
health, which his own climate denied himy 
Mr. W. was induced to travel: the ar 
dent mind of this young- enthusiast in the 
cause of letters, which had drunk deep from 
‘the classic fountains of “antiquity, and, had 
imbibed the most profound admiration jor the 
heroes and the sages of old regretted not 
his constitutional debility, but seized the o¢e 
casion which invited him to that sacred thea- 
tre, on which the greatest characters had 
figured, and the noblest works had been 
achieved. He visited I:aly; he embraced 
with enthusiasm that nurse of arts and of 
arms; he trod with devotion her classi¢ 
ground, consecraied by the ashes of heroes, 
and immortalized by the effusions of poets; 
he studied her Janguage; he observed her 
“customs and her manners; he admired the 
inimitable remains of ancient art, and mourns 
ed over the monuments of modern dezradation; 
he conversed with her learned men 5 he was 
enrolled in her academies; and became ale 
most naturalized to the country. Further 
particulars will be given in our next.
