ART. XXV. Literary Obituary.

On July 11 was interred, in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, George Atwood, Esq. F.R.S. He died in the sixtysecond year of his age, sincerely lamented, as he was deservedly esteemed by all who had the happiness of knowing him. He was highly distinguished for mathematical science, was honoured with the medal of the Royal Society, and was author of several treatises, which prove his inventive powers, as well as the depth and extent of his erudition. He was educated at Westminster School, was for some time a Tutor, and for many years a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He read to the whole University, Lectures upon several branches of Experimental Philosophy, which were much attended, and justly admired. Mr. Pitt, having been one of his auditors, was induced to form a more intimate acquaintance with him, and finding that his talents would be eminently useful to the public, bestowed upon him, in the beginning of the year 1784, a sinecure office, (which is extinguished at his death) that he might be enabled to devote a large portion of his time to financial calculations, in which Mr. Pitt employed him, to his own entire satisfaction, and to the great advantage of the revenue. The high opinion Mr. Pitt entertained of him, and the confidence he reposed in him, were strengthened by experience; and Mr. Atwood's labours were continued with the most zealous perseverance, until his declining state of health rendered him incapable of severe application.
