OBITUARY

LORD GWYDIR.

June 29. At Brighton, the Right Hon. Lord Gwydir. He was the eldest son of Peter Burrell, esq. of Beckenham in Kent, (M. P. for Launceston and Totness), by Elizabeth daughter and co-heir of John Lewis, esq. of Hackney.—He was elected M.P. for Haslemere in 1776; and for Boston, in 1782, 1784, and 1790. His Lordship married Feb. 23, 1779, Priscilla-BarbaraElizabeth Lindsay, daughter and co-heir of Peregrine, duke of Ancaster (joint hereditary Great Chamberlain of England with her sister, Georgiana Countess of Cholmondeley), Baroness Willoughby de Eresby. He succeeded to the Baronetage of his great uncle Sir Merrick Burrell in 1787, and officiated at the trial of Warren Hastings, (in right of his wife) as Deputy Great Chamberlain of England, on which occasion he was knighted. He was advanced to the dignity of Baron Gwydir, of Gwydir, co. Caernarvon, June 16, 1796. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Peter Robert now Lord Gwydir, who married the sole heiress of James Drummond Lord Perth, and has assumed the name of Drummond.-His Lordship had long been afflicted with the gout; which flying to the stomach, at length caused his death. The poor of Langley, in Kent, where his Lordship principally resided, will have reason to Jament the loss of this Nobleman.

DR. MANSELL, BISHOP OF BRISTOL. June 27. At Trinity College, Cambridge, in his 69th year, the Right Rev. William Lort Mansell, D. D. Lord Bishop of Bris tol, and Master of Trinity College. He proceeded B. A. 1774; M. A. 1777; PubJic Orator of the University of Cambridge 1788; D. D. per literas Regias 1798; and in the same year he was appointed to the distinguished Headship of Trinity College by Mr. Pitt, with a view to correct the disorders which had crept into the Society; and in 1798, was Public Orator of the University of Cambridge-His Lordship owed his high elevation in the Church to the patronage of his fellow-collegian, the late Mr. Perceval; who, when Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, presented him to the Rectory of Barwick, in Yorkshire, value 20001. per annum, and promoted him to the See of Bristol.-He was Tutor to the Duke of Gloucester, during the residence of his Royal Highness as a student at Trinity College, Cambridge. His Lord ship published, "A Sermon preached before the House of Lords, Jan. 30, 1810." In Nichols's Literary Anecdotes are two

Letters from Bp. Mansel; one a Latin Address, when a young man, to the Master, &c. of his College, when candidate for a fellowship; the other, a Letter of thanks to Mr. Gough for his present of a Roman altar to Trinity College. Dr. Mansell has been thought to have materially assisted in the Pursuits of Literature."

The remains of Bp. Mausell were interred on the 3d of July in the Chapel of Trinity College.

SIR JOSEPH BANKS, G.C.B.

The Right Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, bart. G.C. B. (whose death we announced in p. 574.) was the President of the Royal Society, a Trustee of the British Museum, F. S. A. F. R. S. Edinburgh, M. R. I. A. and Member of the National Institute of France and of most of the learned Societies in Europe and America. This gentleman was educated at Eton and Oxford. On leaving the University in 1763 he visited the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, for the purpose of making researches in Natural History. In 1768 he accompanied Captain Cook in his first voyage round the world, and contributed the botauical observations to the account of the expedition, afterwards published. - His liberal spirit and generous curiosity were regarded with admiration, and every convenience from the Government was readily supplied to render the circumstance of the voyage as comfortable as possible. Far, however, from soliciting any accommodation that might occasion expence to Government, Mr. Banks was ready to contribute largely out of his own private fortune towards the general purposes of the Expedition. Hé engaged as his Director in Natural History during the voyage, and as the companion of his researches, Dr. Solander, of the British Museum, a Swede by birth, and one of the most eminent pupils of Linnæus, whose scientific merits had been his chief recommendation to patronage in England. He also took with him two draftsmen, one to delineate views and figures, the other to paint subjects of natural history. A secretary and four servants formed the rest of his suite. He took care to provide likewise the necessary instruments for his intended observations, with conveniences for preserving such specimens as he might collect of natural or artificial objects, and with stores to be distributed in the remote isles he was going to visit for the improvement of the condition of savage life.-In the course of the voyage, dangers were encountered of more than ordinary magnitude. On the coast of Terra del Fuego,

in an excursion to view the natural productions of the country, Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander had nearly perished in a storm of snow. After passing a night on land, amid the storm, they at last, and with much difficulty, made their way back to the beach, and were received on board the ship; but three of the persons who accompanied them were lost. Shortly after his return from this voyage, Sir Joseph, in company with his friend Dr. So. lander, visited Iceland. A rich ha vest of new knowledge and of specimens compensated for the toils and expence of this scientific adventure. Among other things worthy of notice, they discovered the columnar stratification of the rocks surrounding the caves of Staffa; a phenomenon till then unobserved by Naturalists, but which no sooner was made known in a description by Sir J. Banks, than it became famous among men of science throughout Europe. In 1777, when Sir John Pringle retired from the Presidency of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks was elected to fill the vacant chair; and never perhaps has it been filled with more honour to the individual, or more advantage to the interests of science. His time, his wealth, his influence, his talents; an incomparable library of science and art; knowledge and judgment to advise ; affability to conciliate and encourage; generosity to assist; all in short of which he possessed, and it was all something either of goodness or greatness, he made the patrimony of the studious and learned, not of his own country alone, but of the whole world.

Sir Joseph Banks having died without issue, the Baronetage becomes extinct. Lady Banks was the daughter and coheiress of W. Weston, esq. of Provender, in Kent.

Sir Joseph Banks has left his Lincolnshire estate (being the chief of his landed property) to be equally divided, after the death of Lady Banks, between the flon. Colonel Stanhope, brother to the Earl Stan. hope, and Sir H. Hawley, bart.
