In the neighbourhood of Bristol, Dr. Callcott.-This celebrated Musician obtained, early in life, the highest reputation for original genius and profound science. A large share of the delight received by the Publick for the last 30 years has been derived from the performance of his compositions; and as long as vocal music continues to be heard or studied, his name must hold a place in the esteem and admiration of all persons Day of [May, of just feeling and true taste. Independently of his professional acquirements, his attainments in general Literature were extraordinary. But the more conspicuous features in bis character were the good, the gentle, and amiable qualities of his mind. Never has it fallen to the lot of any man to excite deeper or warmer feelings in the breasts of his friends, or to call forth a more unbounded sympathy for bis afflictions. He has left a family to la ment him, who are all known to the public by their talents in the various departments of the arts. May 20. Abbot, esq. May 22. At her father's house, at Up. per Tooting, in her 25th year, Mary, eldest daughter of Robt. Gibson, esq.—If unso phisticated feeling and genuine worth be objects of our admiration and regard, how sensibly should we be impressed by the premature death of one whose heart was the type of all that was good, generous, and humane! At Islington, aged 69, Robert ADDITIONS TO OBITUARY. P. 275. In the Memoir of Lord Dysart, the Earl's second title should be Baron Huntingtower, not, Huntingtour. The phraseology of "the kingdom" of Scotland is obsolete.

JOHN NICHOLS AND SON, 25, PARLIAMENT STREET, WESTMINSTER, [ 482 ] MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. G. PRY Informs us, that "the Arms of the antient family of Marmion, as de scribed in the Liber Honoris de Richmond,' are different from those given in p. 14, being Vaire, a fess Gules." Mr. RD. SAINTHILL, jun. (70, High-st. Borough), observes, "In your Magazine for July 1801, p. 618, a Correspondent who signs Adam Henjeys,' makes some enquiries relative to the family of the Sainthills of Bradninch, Devon. Should this meet the eye of your Correspondent, I shall be glad to hear from him.' It PHILIP observes, that "under the mask or colour of an heathen Pandemomium, our Theatres exhibit representations bordering on prophanity, with language and parodies of songs, intolerable to a religious ear. is to be feared such spectacles as Don Giovanni have a most pernicious tendency on youthful minds, and the mass of unthinking spectators." LATHBURIENSIS says, "The Song of Happy Dick has been attributed, in your Magazine, to a Richard Lord Mansel, but erroneously, for two reasons; first, that the last Lord died unmarried in 1743; and secondly, that no one of the title bore the name of Richard." -The same Correspondent remarks, "In your Compendium of County History (art. Salop), Venetia Stanley is designated as born at Tonge Castle; Aubrey, her original biographer, states that her father (Sir Edward) resided there, but says that she was born in Oxfordshire. Your Correspondent, I doubt not, is in possession of sufficient authority for his assertion." A CORRESPONDENT states, "In p. 472, you have erroneously ascribed to my muchregretted friend Mr. Bonnycastle, a translation of Bossut's Histoire des Mathématiques. The Preface, containing remarks on Histories of Mathematics, to which Mr. B.'s name was affixed, a circumstance that probably occasioned the mistake, was written by him; as was the Chronological Table of the most eminent Mathematicians from the earliest Times,' at the end of the work but the translation was by T. O. Churchill." A. Z. wishes to obtain information respecting the English translation of Choron's Counterpoint,' mentioned in volume LXXXIV. p. 372. QUESTOR remarks, " In the Almshouses at Richmond in Surrey, built by Queen Elizabeth, are the Royal Arms, the supporters of which are on one side the lion, and the other a dragon with wings. Perhaps some of your Correspondents could say when the unicorn superseded the latter." ANTIQUUS enquires, "Who are the Se J cretaries and Trustees of a Charity left by Philip Lord Wharton for the distribution of Bibles? Who are considered as proper objects of this Charity? And, how is application to be made for a participation of it?" A CONSTANT READER is desirous of ascertaining "Who was the author of a book, intituled 'Observations on the present State of Denmark, Russia, and Switzerland, in a Series of Letters, 8vo. London, printed for Cadell and Davies in the Strand, 1784.' These Letters are written between March 20, 1777, and September 30, 1782, and the date of the Dedication to his Grace the Duke of Montagu is Gottingen, May 10, 1783.' He has heard this book attributed to the pen of Dr. John Moore, author of Zeluco, &c. &c." GIPPOVISCENS having devoted a considerable portion of his time towards forming a Catalogue of Engraved Portraits of persons born, residing, or in any manner connected with the county of Suffolk; and finding in a MS list the annexed names, of which he can obtain no account from the different printsellers and collectors, begs to solicit information respecting them:-Portraits of Christopher Bullock, watchmaker of Botisdale; Count Bryant, of Bury St. Edmunds; Milles, Bishop of Waterford; James Warren, Bishop of Bangor; Nathaniel Revett, of Brandeston. A. B. says, "A Rector was presented to a valuable benefice in the Principality, by Margaret, Duchess of York, in 1555.(Chester Register.) The advowson was at that time in the Derby family; who then can be this Margaret, Duchess of York, at that time?" Mr. A. A. WATTS has in the Press Specimens of the Living Poets, with Biographical and Critical Remarks. The Work will be comprised in two volumes, crown 8vo; to which will be added, an Appendix, containing notices of such Poets as have deceased within the last few years. W. B.'s communication will appear in the Supplement. Our SUPPLEMENT, published on the 1st of August, will contain, amongst other interesting articles, an Account of the Priory of St. Martin-le-Grand, near Dover; Particulars of the Gardiner Family; Dr. Cove's Statement respecting the Value of Tithes; Origin of Pointed Architecture; Remarks on National Education; Impolicy of Imprisonment for Debt; Col. Macdonald's Observations on Telegraphic Communication, &c. &c. |
