At Kingftone, in her 83d year, Mrs. 
Knowles, relitt of the late Rev. Js c. 
Knowles, reétor of Feitcham, and vicar of 
Elfingham, in Surry. 
' At Uxbridge, Thomas Baker, furgeon. In 
early life he became acquainted with fome of 
the mot eminent political charafters of the 
day ; and would probably, if the Rockingham 
adminiftration had continued, have made a 
diftinguifhed figure in the Houfe of Commons. 
The death of that truly patriotic nobleman, 
and the fubfequent failure of the coalition 
miniftry, compelled him torefign his political 
purfuits, and to engage in the active profecu- 
tion of the duties of the profefiion for which 
he had been educated. In this profetlion 
his fuccefs was perhaps equal to any country 
pratitioner. But though from prudential 
confiderations he relinquifhed his political con- 
‘nexions, he never deterted the principles of 
the party with whom he had aéted. While 
he lamented the encroachments which, he 
conceived, had been made on the liberties of 
his countrymen, he mourned over the dif- 
graceful iffue of the political ftruggles ina 
neighbouring country. With a temper natu- 
rally warm, and a firong attachment to the 
true principles of the Britifh conftitution, in 
a fituation where few were to be found of 
fimilar fentiments, it might be expeéted that 
he muft either meanly conceal his views and 
attachments or embroil himfelf in perpetual 
altercation. The faét was otherwife. In 
thofe years when whig principles were more 
than ufuaily unpopular, he never flinched 
from the profefiion of them, and vet he lived 
in great harmony witha large circle of re- 
{peétable gentlemen, all whofe views of poli- 
tical fubje&ts widely differed with his own. 
The truth is, fuch was the extent of his in- 
formation, that few chofe to enter into debate 
with him; and many of thofe who thought 
ill of his principles, acknowledged and admired 
his fkillin defending them. Some years ago 
(as the writer of this article learred from 
himfelf), he publifhed feveral political pamph- 
lets OF late years he has not appeared as 
an-author of any publication, but has occafio- 
nally cantabdted to this magazine. His laft 
effort from the prefs, is Vivpitet ot to have been 
an attempt, in the humbie form of a hand- 
bill, to convince the friends of peace, that 
they could not confifiently vote for a condi- 
date, whom they had every reafon to fuppofe 
would be an advocate for war. He died of 
the gout. It is fuppofed that his life was 
fhortened by his attempt to repel the attack 
of the difeafe, by cold applications. Not 
contented with cold water, he appiied ice, 
and by thefe means drove the difeafe from the 
feet andancies tothe ftomach, He left direc- 
tions to be buried in the ground belonging 
to the people called Quakers; affigning : as a 
reafon, his conviction that their pacific prin- 
ciples beit accorded with the religion of 
Jefus. : .
