There was truly in his natural disposition an indifference or unwillingness to engage in puerile amusements, and his reluctance to join with young associates was accompanied, as perhaps will generally be observed to be the case, by meekness of temper and great shyness of behaviour. This sort of idiosycracy, to which might be added his taciturnity, gave an unfavourable coldness to his manner, which he never conquered by his intercourse with the world. And so far as it precluded his general acquaintance from much interesting conversation, it was to be lamented, as well as that he likewise became chargeable himself with the odious imputation of apathy. Such as shared his confidence however, and had the best means of judging, will attest he was a warm-hearted man, and was neither deficient in feeling or benevolence; many instances might be cited of the most unostentatious kindness: may we not therefore explain, if not excuse, his silence by his caution not to obtrude common-place remarks, and by his great modesty in forbearing to impart intelligence which he supposed his hearers might already possess. In witholding his encomiums upon living characters another reason may be assigned with great probability; his inflexible integrity and rectitude of mind, made him dread any, the least approach to flattery, than which nothing could be more abhorent to his nature: he scorned those arts that bore even the semblance of dishonesty, and he made little distinction in his code of morals, between the practised sycophant and the accomplished knave. It was the suppleness and adulation ascribed to our Northern neighbours that made an unfavourable impression upon him; indeed, though he had just and strong reasons to think highly of his Alma Mater, and always expressed the most unfeigned respect for the candour and learning of the different professors of the University, he would sometimes inveigh against the prejudices of the Scotch nation, and regret the overwhelming influence attending such unworthy practices, to the great injustice, he would say, of their brethren on this side the Tweed. His abilities as an attentive observer, are best exemplified by his papers addressed to the Linnæan Society, and his industry and application are incontestably proved by the voluminous manuscripts he left behind him, the contents of which hereafter may be thought worthy of publication, more especially those concerning the duties and defects of the regulations in Naval Surgery. In his manner, he might be

said to want the amenities of polished life; few scholars are quite at ease in the drawing-room, and the Graces had very little share in his contemplation; but let it be remembered, on the other hand, he was free from any moral stain, that he never disgraced himself by unmanly compliances, and deserved the noblest appellation to which we can aspire, the title of a good and honest man. Such in the estimation of the writer is a faithful portrait of Dr. Joseph Arnold, not without its blemishes and shades of imperfection (for who, alas, is exempt), but with failings of a kind so venial, that we may rely upon the justice of posterity to respect his memory as a valuable member of the community.

REAR-ADMIRAL FORTESQUE.

Dec. 27. Universally regretted, in the 65th year of his age, Rear-Admiral John Faithful Fortesque, of Writtle Lodge. It cellence of his exemplary character. His is scarcely possible to do justice to the exheart was an inexhaustible fountain of charity to the poor, and he doubled his liberality by the warmth with which his benevolence flowed. His house was the hall of hospitality to all his acquaintance, and he constantly enlivened it by the cheerful suavity of his mauners. His friends will seldom pass it without a sigh, or the poor without a tear.

JOHN TRENCHARD, Esq.

Dec. 26. At his house in Welbeckstreet, in his 94th year, John Trenchard, of Stourmiuster Marshall, co. Dorset, esq. many years one of the Commissioners of Taxes. He was in that situation at the accession of his present Majesty, which he held till 1798. He was the son of George Trenchard of Litchet Maltravers and of Wolverton, esq. (who died 1758), and grandson of Sir John Trenchard, of Bloxworth, knt. Chief Justice of Chester, one of the Principal Secretaries of State, and of the Privy Council to King Wil liam and Queen Mary.-This respectable Dorsetshire family trace their pedigree as far back as the reign of Henry 1. In 1506, Philip I. King of Castile, and Joan his Queen, designing to surprise the King of Arragon, set forth with a great armada, but they had scarcely left the coast of Flanders, when encountering a violent tempest, they put into Weymouth in distress; where they were received and uobly entertained by Sir Thomas Trenchard, at his house at Wolveton; for whose hospitality and great attention, they presented him with their portraits, as a signal mark of their esteem. They left also at Wolverton a white china bowl, on a foot silver-bound. The portraits were engraved at the expence of the late

Mr.

Mr. Trenchard, from the originals in his possession, and presented to the new edition of Hutchins's Dorsetshire; in which work are also given two portraits of his grandfather, Sir John Trenchard, and one of himself; and in the same work will be found an ample pedigree and account of this antient and respectable family.

SIR ENEAS MACKINTOSH.

Sir Eneas Mackintosh, of Mackintosh, Bart. Captain of Clan Chattan, who died on the 21st Jan. at Moy-hall, in the 69th year of his age, was a gentleman of the greatest worth. During the late distressing period, he gave up to a great proportion of his tenants a full third of their rents, for three successive years, and enabled, farther, such of them as had particularly suffered from the severity of the seasons, to re-stock their farms with sheep and cattle. His funeral was attended by upwards of forty carriages of all descriptions, and a large concourse of common people, both on foot and horseback. Six of the family servants, in deep mourning, and three pipers, playing the Clan's Lament, &c. preceded the hearse and six horses, which was followed by the family chariot and four empty, and three mourning carriages, containing the more immediate connexions of the deceased.

MR. WILLIAM MARSH.

Feb. 14. In his 78th year, Mr. William Marsh, of Brook-street, Holborn. Though not of an elevated rank in life, he was long respected by the good and great; and may be classed, from his active and disinterested exertions, among the bene factors of his generation. Mr. M. was well known as one of the most zealous Managers of that annual and gratifying exhibition of British benevolence, the Assembling of the Charity Children of the Metropolis in St. Paul's Cathedral; and formed one of the Committee when our late revered Sovereign was present. On the demise of a former Treasurer some years since, Mr. Marsh was invited by "the Society of Patrons" of that Anniversary to accept the vacant office, which he could only be prevailed upon to undertake in conjunction with a friend. This office be filled with much credit; and was ever alive to the interests of this, and other' charities wherein he was engaged. Among these may be named the Parochial School of St. Andrew's Holborn, of which he was the Treasurer, and, for a lengthened period, the chief support. In this station, also, he acquitted himself so cordially to the satisfaction of the subscribers in the days of his health, that his portrait GENT. MAG. February, 1820.

was hung up in the Committee-room as a tribute of their respect; and subsequently, a handsome piece of plate was presented to him, as an approval of his character and conduct. The inscription, drawn up by the present Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, sufficiently attests the esteem in which he was held; and thus appropriately concludes: "Mark the approbation attendant on active goodness; and tread in the footsteps of this excellent man." Mr. M. was a conscientions supporter of the government in church and state, and exem

plary in his duties towards both.

WILLIAM CLARKE, ESQ.

The late William Clarke, esq. of Portugal-street, (whose death, on the 26th of December last, we announced in our last Volume, p. 640,) was born at Denshanger, in Northamptonshire, and was descended of an ancient family formerly resident at Wicken, in the same county. Being the youngest son of a large family, he chose for his profession that of a bookseller; and commenced business in Portugalstreet in the year 1767, which he carried on, in conjunction with his sons, to the day of his death, and by whom he is succeeded. He was a very domesticated man, of great private worth, modest and unassuming manners, and of strict honour and probity. His remains were deposited in the family-vault at Hornsey, Middlesex, on the first of January, 1820.

FRANCIS WINGRAVE, ESQ.,

Feb. 6. At his house in the Strand, in his 75th year, Francis Wingrave, esq. This house has been in the occupation of eminent and highly-respectable booksellers for considerably more than a century; first, by Jacob Tonson, who here, in 1709, we believe, originally published the Spectator. Tonson, removing to a new house opposite, now the banking-house of Messrs. Hodsoll and Stirling, (and in which he died March 31, 1767) was succeeded in the old one by Mr. John Nourse, many years Bookseller to his late Majesty, both as Prince of Wales and King. On the death of John Nourse in 1780, all his bookselling concerns became the property of his brother Charles, an eminent surgeon at Oxford, who received the honour of Knighthood, August 15, 1786, on his late Majesty's visit to the University. At his decease in 1789, he bequeathed the bookselling business, with a handsome acknowledg ment of his services, to Mr. Francis Wingrave, who had for several years con ducted it with the most honourable assiduity, combined with the strictest integrity.

He commanded a company of the Athol Highlanders upon that memorable day, and being perfectly collected in his senses to the last moment, his enthusiastic accounts of the deeds of other years were truly interesting.
