At Portsea, Me. James Hay, j jun. sculptor, 
28. From his earliest days he was much 
accustomed! to the study of the natural hise 
- tory and antiquities of his country, in which 
he acquired a great proficiency, as wellasa - 
Being 
knowledge of the learned languages. ~ 
an able ‘Graftsman, and possessing exquisitg 
taste for painting, he was’ put under Mr. 
W est, but having a greater inclination for 
sculpture, he was very soon zfter pupil to 
Flaxman. Under this distinguished. master 
two years, he made rapid progress in the arty ~ 
whilsc he likewise studied anatomy and 
physiology under Sheldon, Brookes, &c. 
Too intense application to the various 
branches of science, brought ona lingering 
disease, which terminated, by a premature 
death, the lite and jakours of a rising genius, - 
who would have proved an honour and an 
ornament to his ccuntry. But, he was as 
much beloved for the virtues of his mind, as 
he was admired for his superior talents, In 
conversation he never tailed being both 
entertaining and instructive, for he possessed, 
ap uncommon portion of general knowledge, 
Never, however, did he assume the superci-« 
Vious positiveness of a conceited pedant. 
Whilst he ‘was. firm in his opinions, and 
lucid in his representations, he always dis- 
layed the’ mild and amiable features of, a 
mind, that believed and felt the doctrines of 
the relivion he professed, He has left many, 
drawings of the most remarkable antiquities
