It is the production of Mr. Benjamin Gibson, of that town, and consists of a polished white marble urn, resting on a moulding half enveloped with drapery, the folds of which fall on each side a tablet, which is ornamented with four branches of honeysuckle, and bears the following inscription :-" In memory of Matthew Gregson, esq. F. S. A. late of Liverpool, and of Overton Hall, in the county of Chester, who died on the 25th of September, 1824, aged 75 years. In the relations of husband, father, and friend, he was kind, affectionate, and sincere. In Religion, he was firmly attached to the Established Church; and while pursuing Antiquarian Researches, with no less ardour than success, he both encouraged rising merit, and liberally contributed to support the charitable and scientific institutions of his native town."

VOL. XCIX. ii. 15.-The will of Sir Humphrey Davy was proved on the 3d of Nov. last, and probate granted to Lady Davy, the relict and sole executrix. The effects sworn under 30,000l.

The will is in the testator's own handwriting, dated Jan. 3, 1827, "when feeling more than common symptoms of mortality." He bequeaths to his brother, Dr. Davy, the

[XCIX.

sum of 300l. per annum Long Annuities, and the sum of 4,000l. to be realized by the sale of stock English or foreign, the interest of 3,000l. thereof to be applied in the way he (the Doctor) may think most beneficial for the interest of his sisters, particularly his married sister, and his godson Humphrey.

He also leaves to his brother all his chemical books, chemical MSS., apparatus, sporting tackle, medals, and the silver venison-dish made from the Rumford medal. There are several legacies of 100l. and 501. each to professional friends, among whom are Drs. Wauch, Babington, Wilson, and Mr. Bro

die.

Two explanatory papers are appended to this will, by which he requests Lady Davy (on whose high sense of honour and justice he places the most implicit reliance) to bequeath on her decease the different services of plate of which he died possessed, including those presented to him by the Emperor of Russia, the Committee of CoalOwners, for the invention of the Safetylamp, &c. to his brother if he survive her, and if not, to his eldest child, should he be in a situation to use it; should, however, such not be the case, or should Dr. Davy die before the executrix, then it is to be sold or melted down, and the proceeds to be applied by the Royal Society in founding an annual medal to be awarded for the most useful discovery in chemistry in England or Anglo-America,

There are three codicils to the will, dated respectively Rome, Nov. 18, 1828, Feb. 19, 1829, and March 18, 1829, by the former of which he bequeaths to his "kind and affectionate nurse," Josephine Delatè, daughter of an innkeeper at Laybach, in Illyria, the sum of 100%. or a sum equivalent to 1,000 florins; in a subsequent codicil he revokes this bequest, and substitutes one of 500 florins or 50. To his brother, Dr. Davy, he bequeaths the copyright and profits arising from the sale of Salmonia, or any other publications of his, with the exception of My Vision, which he requests Lady Davy to publish, should she and his friends consider it useful or instructive to the public, and the proceeds applied in the education of his godson. He also requests rings to be given to his friends, among whom he particularizes Mr. Knight, Mr. Pepys, and Mr. Hatchett, and concludes by desiring to be buried where he dies, adding, “Natura curat suas reliquias."
