elqg. of Wootton, in Kent, by Jemima, 
daughter and coheir of William Egerton, 
LL.D. grandfon of John, fecond earl of 
Bridgwater. It is not eafy to defcribe the 
grief and confternation which this unfortu- 
Hate event has created. No woman ever en- 
gaged fo warmly the affections of her family, 
the admiration of her acquaintance, and the 
hearts and prayers of the poor. Nature had 
endowed her with powers of intellect very 
505 
rare, witha rapidity of perception, an extent 
of comprehenfion, and a command of perfpi- 
cuous and energetic language, which from 
her very childhood drew forth wonser and 
applaufe. Her talents for poetry difplayed 
themfelves before fhe was twelve years old, 
and various were her compotitions in early 
life, which for the union of a brilliant fancy, 
of pathetic fentiment, and of elegant and 
beautiful fimplicity of expreffion, have long 
been grateful to thofe who poffefs tafte and 
genuine feeling. Yet great as were the qua- 
lities of her mind, they were far exceeded by 
the excellencies of her heart, which exhibit- 
ed in every action, In every word, in every 
thought, the benevolence and angelic good~ 
nefs of her difpofition. Inthe character of a 
daughter, a wife, a mother, anda fitter, the 
lived only to confer happinefs on others.— 
Nor did her exerticns and influence end here, 
Enthufiaftically fond of fociety, fhe commu- 
nicated vyivacity and delight wherever fhe 
went. Her looks beaming with cheerfulnefs 
and good humour, irradiated every room the 
entered, and her lively or fcothirg conver- 
fation always conveyed pleafure, or confola- 
tion, or kindnefs. But while fhe was the 
delight of the higher orders, fhe never fora 
moment forgot or neglected thofe below her. 
To the poor, her vifits and attentions were un-- 
remitting ; to them fhe daily adminittered 
food and clothing, and inftruction; to them 
fhe breathed out thofe elevated fentiments of 
religious comfost, of which her whole foul 
was full, and by which every action of her 
life was guided. She herfelf taught the vil- 
lage children to read and write; toa wide 
circuit of neighbouring parifnes fhe diftribut- 
ed medicine and advice ; and when the cow- 
pox was difcovered, fhe made herfelf miftrefs 
of the art, and snoculated upwards of eight 
hundred with her own hand. How deep will 
be the lamentation of this unhappy neigh- 
bourheod, they only can imagine who have 
had an opportunity of obferyving how much 
fre was beloved and adored ; what a lofs of 
credit, whata wound of affection, what a de- 
privation of love and pieafure and Inftruction 
her near and unfortunate relatives have re- 
ceived, no werds can défcribe : but the myf- 
terious ways of an all-wife Providence it is 
vain and impious to fcrutinize.
