fource of his mathematical knowledge, which 
was at once ufeful and profound, The dif. 
advanrages under which he laboured, from the 
original lownefs of bis extraction, and the con- 
fequent want of a learned, or even a good edu- 
Cation, in a great meafure precluded him the 
know ledge of thofe numerous and minute ele- 
gancies with which modern authors have em- 
bellithed this abftrufe fcience; but whilft his 
fituation and birth fully account for his being 
unacquainted with thefe, his numeraus fcho- 
Jars in this city and its. neighbourhood, of ei- 
ther fex, will bear an honourable and grateful 
teftimony to the extent and originality of his 
attainments. The fcanty pittance, which his 
long profeffional labours procured him—for no 
perfuafion of his friends could induce him to 
rate his inftru€tion at even a moderate value, 
—had, before he died, been completely ex- 
hauited ; and this eccentric and ingenious cha- 
racter, has left a daughter, de‘titute of even 
the neceflaries of life, whofe bodily infirmi- 
ties too, utterly preclude her from ever mak- 
ing the fmalleft exertions in her own be- 
half.
