At his house, Stratford, lord Henniker, L. S. D., F. R. S. &c. His lordship had nearly attained his 70th year.

In Blandford-street, Pall Mall, Charles Knyvett, esq. in his 70th year, after a lingering illness. He was long known and highly respected in the musical world. His professional talents procured him the patronage of Geo. III. at an early period, and that patronage was extended to him by his present majesty. Mr. Knyvett had three sons, one of whom is on the staff of the British army; he educated the other two for the musical profession, and the distinction which they have attained, as performers and composers, with the respectability of their private characters, manifest the excellence of parental instruction, moral and scientific. His companionable qualities, good sense, and knowledge of the world, rendered him an acceptable guest to many of our nobility during the

musical

musical vacations, particularly to the directors of the ancient concerts; and it may be truly affirmed, that his merits, personal and professional, will long be remembered and esteemed by all who knew him.

Thomas Whately, esq, who was the son of a clergyman, the rev. Mr. Whately of Derby, who had filled the civic chair of the corporation three successive years with characteristic dignity, urbanity, and reputation. Born of a good family and highly respectable parents, Thomas, the subject of this notice, had received a liberal education; after which, suitably with his inclination, he was apprenticed to the medical profession, and became fellow apprentice with the celebrated author of the" Botanic Garden,"-Dr. Darwin. Naturally attached to studious habits and the pursuits of anatomical and literary information, Master Whately cultivated every opportunity for his mental improvement, examined his principles by the nicest scrutiny, and formed his judgment upon the foundation of ocular truth. As he advanced to manhood, he progressively enriched his mind, which, as a physiological student, he considered of the first importance to his present and future interests; so zealously, indeed, that his intense application induced a nervous head-ache, which continued, in modified degrees, to the last moment of his life. Perseverance, led him forth into the world, endued with a great store of valuable knowledge. As a botanist, he was particularly distinguished; he invented an improved plan for the better management and more durable preserva1822.

tion of plants in sand and paper, which met with the sanction and approval of the most eminent votaries of Linnæus, and testimonies of its utility are recorded in the best and latest works on botany and horticulture. Free from the versatile and predisposing influence of hospital associates, he passed the several examinations of the colleges, societies, and critical ordeals in Scotland and England with so much advantage, that he gained the countenance and friendship of men of letters and medical fame. Thus honoured, he was encouraged to perse vere yet more diligently, and he gleaned the scattered fragments of science like a wise husbandman. London, which has the strongest claims for practice and experience, now began to invite Mr. Whately to exercise his talents in pharmacy and the more scientific branches of physical operations, This apostrophe in his life gave him further chance of acquiring celebrity, and brought his surgical skill into deep and forcible action. The quickness, ease, and certainty of Mr. Whately's performances on his patients, in the most difficult cases, decided his choice of confining himself wholly to surgery. Hence his fame spread widely and justly among the afflicted, and his elevation as a surgeon became maturely and honourably established in the highest circles. As a writer, he was signalized by the several works which issued from his pen, and which are consulted by students on account of their character for practical and experimental utility. They are principally-a work on “ Ülcers"- -the "Tibia"-" Strictures "-" Poly(M)

pus,"

pus," with improved forceps "Necrosis," and some other tracts and papers, periodically inserted in medical publications. Mr. Whately and Sir Everard Home, for some time carried on a paper controversy, which ended by proving that his method of treating strictures caused less pain to the sufferer, and was equally felicitous, perhaps more, in performing speedy and permanent cure, than the noticed baronet's. Mr. W. was a great and constant friend to the poor and afflicted, both with his advice gratuitously and his benefactions. He was the friend of Christianity, and acted up to its dictates by his uniform example and daily walk. He was formerly on the most intimate terms of friendship with the reverend Mr. Newton, with whom he corresponded for many years. He was thrice married, and his seven children and young and amiable widow, who have survived him, were his habitual and indulgent pride. Fond of domestic retirement and the study of phytology, in the cloisters of leaves and beautiful flowers, he avoided the ostentatious glare of the fashionable world; and latterly led a retired life at Isleworth.

At Worthing, where he had resided for many of the latter years of his long life, aged 79, B. Hawes, esq. brother to the late lamented Dr. W. Hawes, (whose name will live in history, as the founder of the Royal Humane Society.) The great distinctive feature of his mind was an ardent and conscientious desire to relieve the distresses of his fellow creatures, without taking to himself the merit of his good works.

Having retired from the busy scene of life, in which his industry had been crowned with an ample fortune, he lived very abstemiously; and his constant study was not only to communicate good to all around him, but if possible to conceal the hand which thus diffused blessings. In his own immediate neighbourhood, his charity, which often amounted to munificence, could not always escape the detection of gratitude; but, wherever it was practicable, his benefactions were anonymous; he seemed even ingenious in eluding means of "doing good by stealth;" and he literally" blushed to find it fame." In many instances be even made considerable transfers of stock to meritorious individuals, whom he saw struggling with adversity; and who were never informed of the source from which their timely accession of property was derived. With the same shrinking modesty, he became an anonymous contributor to many public institutions for the alleviation of pain and suffering, the instruction of the ignorant, or the reformation of the depraved.Naturally attached, for 48 years together, to an institution founded by his brother, and congenial with his own generous sensibility, his annual donation to the Royal Humane Society was nevertheless contributed under the mere designation of "A Life Governor in 1774." But the great object which interested his philanthropic feelings through life was the Abolition of the Slave Trade. indignant was he, or the close of the late war, at the treaties which tolerated that abominable traffic, that in a letter, which he had sketched to Mr. Wilberforce, (whether

So

(whether he ever sent it we know not) he offered to sacrifice several thousands a-yeur, if that sum could ensure the adoption of means to compel all the European powers to put an end to the slave trade entirely. Even in this princely conception, however, ostentation had no part, for he stipulated for the absolute concealment of his name, and only identified himself in the letter, as the individual who, between 1780 and * 1790, had inclosed to the then treasurer in Lombard-street, Five Exchequer Bills, and about 1810 had sent an India Bond, directed to the secretary of the African institution. It is needless to say, that this model of true Christian charity acted under the impulse of the strongest religious feeling; but it was a feeling so destitute of all prejudice, that he embraced in the large circle of his beneficence all his fellow creatures, of every religious persuasion, as well as of every species of affliction.

At Ramsgate, at an advanced age, the rev. Samuel Vince, M. A. F. R. S. Plumian Professor of Astronomy in the University of Cambridge, and archdeacon of Bedford. He was also rector of Kirby Bedon, and vicar of South Creak, in Norfolk. This eminent professor was born of humble parents at Fressingfield, in Suffolk, but early evinced a strong predilection and aptitude for mathematical studies. This natural bent of his mind was perceived, encouraged, and directed by the late Mr. Tilney, of Harleston, and ultimately by him brought under the notice of more opulent patrons, by whose kindness Mr. V. was afterwards enabled to pursue his favourite science in the

university of Cambridge, where he rose to the highest mathematical honours of that learned body. He was a sincere Christian, and brought the powers of his strong mind to the defence of his holy religion, particularly in a few published sermons preached by him before the university, and replete with sound and convincing argument. In his loyalty he was uniformly consistent through a long life, and no man felt a more lively gratitude for the blessings of that free and happy constitution of his country, which enabled him to rise by his merits from a humble station in life to eminence and opulence. He was author of a large work on astronomy, and of: many other mathematical productions. He was formerly fellow of Caius College, B. A. 1775, M. A. 1778.

In Russell - square, the right hon. sir James Mansfield, knt. Sir James was bred to the bar, and began to practise in the court of King's Bench. He first distinguished himself as a junior. counsel in Mr. Wilkes's contests, which gave him some celebrity. He practised afterwards in chaneery, and there obtained a handsome fortune. He was bred at Cambridge, which university elected him their counsel, which he held many years, and returned him in two parliaments to be one of their representatives, in which honourable situation he continued until 1782, in which year he was appointed solicitor - general, but lost both at the same time by the powerful influence of Mr. Pitt, who dismissed him to make room for sir R. P. Arden, as solicitorgeneral; and himself and lord Euston (now duke of Grafton) (M2)
