Nov. 19, on his journey to Bangalore, whither he was proceeding for the benefit of his health, Sir SAMUEL TOLLER, Knight, Advocate-General of Madras. 1822. Mar. 9, in Sion Place, Bath, aged 66, Caleb Hillier PARRY, M.D. F.R.S., &c. He received his classical and general education at the celebrated academy of Warrington, and his medical and philosophical instructions in the schools of Edinburgh and London. At an early age he married Miss Rigby, of Norwich, whose brother, Dr. Rigby, has lately terminated an honourable and distinguished professional life. Dr. C. H. Parry, about 40 years ago, commenced his medical life at Bath, from which period, during the first dawning effulgence of his extraordinary powers, and the shining meridian of his matured knowledge, he gradually advanced his character as a great practical physician and medical philosopher, till the fiat of the Almighty destroyed his useful and active powers, by a sudden attack of palsy in the year 1816. The effects of this attack were so complete and universal, as to annihilate his faculties and his usefulness. After this era of Dr. Parry's life, we must look to VOL. XVII. 2 R what he had done, not to what his physical disease disabled him from the power of perfecting. Dr. Parry's first professional public effort was in a communication addressed to the Medical Society of London, on the nature and pathological history of certain, commonly called, nervous affections of the head, for which he recommended compression of the carotid arteries, on a principle which subsequent observations on these diseases have confirmed and extended. Subsequently to this, in the year 1797, he published a treatise on a disease called Angina Pectoris, the leading and essentially important part of which was first communicated to him by his old and distinguished friend Dr. Jenner, though it received additional demonstration from his own ob. servations. Dr. Parry's next public work was one that evinced his general knowledge as a natural historian and physiologist, termed "A Treatise on Wool." Afterwards, Dr. Parry, surrounded by incessant occupations, published "Observations on the Pulse," and on a fact not before known, viz., the formation of new arterial branches in quadrupeds, when the parent and principal trunks had been obliterated by ligature, contrary to what had been observed to take place in man under similar circumstances; this entirely original fact, though not yet confirmed, has not been controverted by succeeding experimentalists. Dr. Parry also gave to the world a Treatise on Hydrophobia and Tetanus, in which the histories of these generally fatal diseases are most ably traced from observation. But the greatest and most characteristic work of this eminent philosopher and physician, is "The Elements of PathoThis exhibits logy," published in 1816. a great system of original and unexampled depth of observation, accuracy of conclusion and abundance of fact and illustration; it may truly be considered as an almost unparalleled example of great originality and capacity. The accounts already inserted of Dr. Parry's general genius, demonstrated on a subject not strictly within the pale of professional attention, is enough to prove the extent and versatility of his talents. To those who enjoyed his society this evidence would be superfluous. At the meetings of that useful and enlightened body, the Bath and West-of-England Agricultural Society, his reasonings, remarks and communications were in the highest degree instructive, enlightening and entertaining. To his efforts, the high estimation which this Society possesses is not in a small degree referable, and especially to the joint energy and exertions of his most able and excellent brother-in-law, Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, Bart., lately president of this Institution. Of the various and general talent and knowledge of Dr. Parry, some proofs have already been afforded in these remarks. They are, however, too few to allow of amply expatiating on his general traits, and the limits of this article would not well admit of much more; still we may add, that his astonishing grasp of conception on every subject which he considered, amply fulfilled the phrase, "Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit." He was alike superior in the graver and lighter exercises of the mind; his ratiocinations, though luxuriant and abundant, seemed never to be the result of effort or labour; and his moral, conjugal and parental feelings were exemplary. In a continued series of bodily suffering, his Christian resignation was perfect. Dr. Parry has left two sons: the first, Dr. C. H. Parry, of Bath; the other, the distinguished commander of the late Northern expedition.-Gent. Mag. March 16, aged 75, Mr. Joseph WithINGTON, of Chowbent, Lancashire, formerly an extensive nail manufacturer, but latterly retired from business. Having long since embraced those views of the B. R. D. April 12, in Portland Place, in his 77th year, after a gradual decay, and a short illness occasioned by an accidental fall, Sir NATHANIEL CONANT, Knt. He was born at Hastingleigh, in Kent, of which place his father, the Rev. John Conant, (of Pembroke Hall, Oxford, M. A., 1730,) was Rector from 1734, and Vicar of Elmstead from 1736, till his death, April 9, 1779. He was greatgrandson of the celebrated Dr. John Conant, Regius Professor of Divinity, and head of Exeter College, Oxford, in 1649; afterwards Archdeacon of Norwich, and Vicar of All Saints, Northampton, near which place he possessed considerable property, part of which is still in the family. He was an eminent divine, and a distinguished author of Sermons, of which several volumes were published, and many others, with a Life of him by his son, the Rev. John Conant, of Merton College, Oxford, B. and D. C. L., 1683, remain in the possession of his descendants. Some interesting anecdotes of him may be seen in Chalmers's “Biographical Dictionary;" and an elegant testimonial to the remarkably early learning of the famous Linguist, Dr. William Wotton, in the "Literary Anecdotes,” Vol. IV. p. 255. He died in 1693, aged 86. Sir Nathaniel was brought up at Canterbury School, and intended for business, which, however, he early relinquished, and, in 1781, was placed in the Commission of the Peace for Middlesex. He was the first who suggested the idea of the new establishment of the Police in 1792, and was very instrumental in forwarding the design. He was there upon appointed one of the Magistrates at Marlborough-Street Office, where he continued till 1813, when he became Chief Magistrate of Bow Street, and received the honour of knighthood, and that situation he resigned in 1820, on account of the declining state of his health. He married Sarah, eldest daughter of John Whiston, of Fleet Street, bookseller, and grand-daughter of William Whiston, the celebrated scholar and mathematician, By her (who died Dec. 3, 1811) he had four children, now living; and he was buried with her, on Friday, April 19, in Finchley Church, Middlesex.-Gent. Mag. April 14, in the 95th year of his age, Mr. JOHN VALENTINE, of Chowbent, Lancashire. He was the youngest son of the Rev. Peter Valentine, who formerly preached at Wharton, in the neighbourhood of Chowbent, but resided at the latter place, and taught a school there. Under his father's tuition he acquired a considerable portion of classical literature. He was, also, well acquainted with history, particularly ecclesiastical history, and with most of the controversial writers of the last age, on moral and religious subjects. Although he was educated in the principles of religion taught in the Assembly's Catechism, yet, on arriving at years of maturity, he began to inquire into the truth of them; and the result was the adoption of Unitarian views and sentiments. These he professed for upwards of sixty years of his life; and in them he found that consolation which supported and comforted him under many severe domestic afflictions, and in the prospect of his own dissolution.. During his last illness, which was neither very long nor uncommonly severe, and which did not appear to affect his mental faculties, for they continued almost unimpaired to the last moment of his life, he frequently spoke of death, according to the scriptural representation of it, as a sleep, and as a rest from the cares of this life; that death is as welcome to the Christian at the end of his warfare, as rest is to the labourer after his day of toil. Mr. V. was a member of the Unitarian congregation of Dissenters at Chowbent, about 60 years, and, during this long period of time, was rarely absent from his place of worship, constantly attending twice a day, and in the evening conducting a devotional service in his own family. This practice he adhered to until about the last year of his life, when increasing bodily feebleness prevented his attending more than once in the day, and unfavourable weather confined him altogether at home. It was much to his advantage and happiness, (for he always spoke of it as such,) whilst a young man, to enjoy the friendship of the late Mr. John Mort, whose memory is still cherished here by many, although he has now been dead upwards of thirty years. Mr. Mort, very early in life, became an Arian, and shortly after this a Unitarian. And it was chiefly owing to the encouragement he gave to free inquiry, in his own example, and by the distribution and circulation of books, that Unitarianism early planted itself here; and Mr. Mort B. R. D. (From the Gent. Mag.) April 17, at Claydon, in the county of Suffolk, the Rev. CHARLES MEIN HAYNES, LL.B. This worthy divine was born at Elmset, in the same county, in 1739, and was the fourth son of the Rev. Hopton Haynes, A. M., the rector of that parish, who was a son of Hopton Haynes, Esq. Assay Master of the Mint, and principal Tally Writer of the Exchequer a strenuous advocate for Socinianism, and the author of a tract relating to the prerogatives of his office, and of several publications on religious subjects; and an elder brother of Dr. Samuel Haynes, canon of Windsor, the learned editor of "A Collection of State Papers," transcribed from the Cecil MSS., at Hatfield House, 1740, fol. Mr. Haynes received the rudiments of his education at the grammar-school of Dedham, in Essex, and from thence removed to Clare Hall, Cambridge, where he proceeded to the degree of LL. B. in 1765. In the year following, he was presented by Thomas Pelham Holles, Duke of Newcastle, to the Vicarage of Damerham, in the county of Wilts, as an accommodation to the celebrated preacher, Dr. Samuel Ogden, and in exchange for the Rectory of Stansfeld, in the county of Suffolk, which had been promised Mr. Haynes by the Lord Chancellor, and which was then vacant by the decease of his father. This living he held at his death; and it is a circumstance worthy of remark, that, during the fifty-six years of his incumbency, the Crown presented four several times to the Rectory of Stansfield, while two Dukes of Newcastle passed away without presenting to Damerham. As a minister of the Established Church, Mr. Haynes was firmly attached to her doctrine and discipline; and for many years officiated as a curate in his native For brief Memoirs of both these persons, see Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, II. 140, 141. county. A scrupulous obedience to the Divine commands, and the keeping a conscience void of offence towards God and man, were the rules that regulated his life. His religion was without bigotry, and his piety without enthusiasm. As his sentiments were distinguished by candour, freedom and liberality, he was a firm and decided advocate for the exercise of private judgment in matters of religion, and on points of doubtful disputation. Of a humane and benevolent disposition, he performed, without ostentation, many generous and charitable actions (particularly to the family with which he resided) that would have dignified a more ample fortune. In his intercourse with others, his manners were mild and humble, friendly and unassuming; yet his humility was without meanness, and his friendship without dissimulation: these qualities, therefore, ensured him the respect and esteem of his acquaintance. Naturally of a shy and timid disposition, the tenor ་ In corroboration of these remarks on his character, I have extracted from "The Monthly Repository of Theology," &c. II. 336, the following conversation which passed between Mr. Haynes and the Rev. Samuel Say Toms, of Framlingham, as detailed by the latter gentleman." Some years since," says Mr. Toms, "visiting at a friend's house near to Witnesham, Mr. Haynes's present residence, I met the old gentleman, and entering into conversation, I mentioned that I had often heard my mother speak of a clergyman of his name at Elmset: he replied, He was my father;' and of Mr. Hopton Haynes; Yes, he was my grandfather;' and said, his writings were very differently thought of now from what they were at their first publication, and some years after. They are now in high repute with many, as giving a just and rational interpretation of the Scripture doctrine concerning Jesus Christ. There were warm contenders on both sides of the question. It became every one to examine and think for himself, and speak and act from conviction; but some were of opinion, that religion was a plain, simple thing, and that it was of more importance to insist on it practically, than to enter upon the minutiae of controversy. He hath shewn thee, O man, what is good, and what,' &c. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,' &c. The grace of God, which bringeth salvation, had appeared unto all men, teaching,' &c. On these things hang all the law and the prophets, and those persons think they best preach Christ, who lay the main stress on them." of his life was retired: he mingled but little in promiscuous company, excepting at particular periods, when he was the life and soul of the party in which he joined. The powers of his memory were great, and in the highest degree retentive; and whatever had pleased or interested him, either in the perusal of books or the remarks and observations of others, be made his own entirely, and could bring forth his stores, as occasion offered, with the greatest effect. In history and geography, his knowledge was extensive, and his recollection of names, dates and places, truly surprising. The writer of this brief Memoir, who revered his character, and who has been often gratified in his society, heard him, when at the advanced age of seventy-six, repeat, without hesitation, the regular succession of our English Monarchs, with the precise year and month of their accession to the throne, as well as the day and year of their decease; and, what is more surprising, this stretch of memory was followed by a similar recital of the Roman Emperors. He possessed a strong vein of pleasantry, and a considerable share of hu mour; and to a pun was by no means an enemy. In all parties, where the company accorded with his taste and iuclination, his conversation was animated and amusing; teeming with repartee, and pointed with wit; enriched by anecdote, and enlivened by story. His recitations of passages from various authors, whether serious or humorous, were given on such occasions with great taste and spirit; and will be long remembered by those who have ever had the pleasure of hearing him. Many pleasing anecdotes respecting him are in the recollection of his friends, to whom his attractive qualities had long endeared him, and whom he had entertained with as many good puns as had ever emanated from the most celebrated wits of the day. Mr. Haynes departed this life April the 17th, in the 83rd year of his age, in the full enjoyment of his faculties, and of a tolerable share of health, even to the last. At his particular request, his remains were conveyed to Elmset, his native village, and interred in the churchyard of that parish, under a tree which he had specified; having always strongly decried the indecency of interment in churches, wisely observing, that "the Church was intended for the living, and its yard for the dead." Mr. Haynes was a bachelor; and his niece, Charlotte Catherine Anne, the sole daughter and heiress of his elder brother, Samuel Hayucs, Esq., was married, Ja |
