Was, many years ego, elected a Fellow of the 
Royal Society, in London; and in this cha- 
tacter as well! as in that of a philosopher and 
2-divine, he possessed no common portion of 
the effeem and gratitude of his numerous 
friends and of society at Jarge. He regarded 
prety to God as the foundation of every duty ; : 
aad in his mind it was a deeply fixed princi- 
ple, undebased by bigotry or superstition, and 
Bntinctured by gloom. His charity was pure, 
attent, and universal; his temper peculiarly 
gocial, cheerful and generous. In him, sci- 
ence, liberty and virtue possessed an intrepid, 
disintere {ted advocate ; and the energetic zeal 
and glowing eloquence with which he, at all 
times, def ‘ended their interefts, will securé 
him an honourable diftinction among the 
friends to the beft interests of mankind.
