On the 3oth of January, at his houfe in 
Alderfgate-{ftreet, Thomas Skinner, "lq. Al- 
derman of the city of London. The career 
of this refpectable and upright man furnithes 
one of the moft pleafing illuftrations of the 
happy effeéts of induftry, integrity, and per- 
feverance, which recent times have afford- 
ed 3 prefenting a delightful picture of a uni- 
formly honourable progrefs from the adven- 
titious obfcurity of humble birth to felf- 
acquired opulence and honour.

14th January, 1737. He was apprent ticed at 
the ufual age to an upholder in Newgate~ 
Pree Ess aad in 4757, be married Margaret, 
the daughter of Thomis White, a reputable 
manufacturer of Whitecrofs-ftreet. Of this 
moft excellent lady it is difficult to fpeak in 
terms of praife adequate to her high merits. 
It is certainly not faying too much to aifere 
that there never was a better wife or mother, 
a more fincere or zealous friend : nor can it be 
doubted that the bafis of Mr. Skinners fplen- 
did fortune was in great part formed by the 
induftry ‘and economy of his moft amiable 
wife. It was from this epoch that Mr. Skin- 
ner began to be Izenown to the public as an 
auctioneer. In this line of bufinefs he rofe 
to an unprecedented degree of cejebrity, and 
honeurably acquired more wealth than any 
other individual in that profeifion of the pre- 
fent or of former times. Yet he never pof- 
fefled the fhining accomplifhments of a Cock 
or a Chriftie in the pulpit. He difplayed no 
powers of eloquence, nor arts of rhetoric. 
Plain truth was his invariable figure of 
fpeech s unimpeachable honour, and incor- 
ruptible honefty, were the graces which he 
conitantly ftudied ; and thefe qualifications 
were foon recognized by the monied intereft 
of this commercial empire as the beft poffible 
recommendation to their confidence and pa- 
tronage. The fums which have pafled through
