names of veterans in fliterature, but to not one of which his own was) affixed. His place of nativity was Bolton in Lan. cashire, where his talents were early discovered by the munificent Roscoe, who put him to school under the celebrated Lemprière, where he acquired the classical languages with astonishing facility; and soon after became so able and extensive a linguist, as to read, write, and speak with fluency about eighteen languages; and near his death he was hard working at the Welsh and Celtic, for the purpose of composing an Ethnic Essay on the affinities of all languages. He had studied English intensely, and formed his style from that of the age of Elizabeth; was extensively acquainted with ancient history and literature, that of Europe and his own country; was an ardent admirer, and thorough familiar, of our matchless Poet, and good old "Chaucer's well of English undefiled."

He visited Shropshire about twentyfive years ago, for the purpose of collecting materials for the "Beauties of England and Wales," where he gained great aduiration for his beautifully elegant sonnet composed on Ludlow Castle. "Here Milton sung."

In politics he was a liberal Whig; and in religion, though differing from his nearest and dearest friends, he was always steadily and faithfully attached to the Church of England, in whose defence he latterly directed the pure and vigorous strains of his powerful pen in several neat volumes.

And many who read this short notice will regret his somewhat early death, and remember with cordial fondness his ardent and grateful friendship, his sweetness of manners, his exuberance of fancy, and his extraordinary drollery and humour!

We are obliged to defer, for want of space, our Memoir of Mr. Coleridge, together with several others; among them is an article on the gallant Lieut. Shipp, and if any friend at Liverpool can furnish us with particulars of his latter days, they will be acceptable.
