1 his education, and to the fyndics of her prefs, and our review of which (LIX. p. 919) he acknowledged, by letter to our printer, to be "candid and judicious to the utmost of his expectations, and even of his withes."

What he thought of "the alfallin and well-known artist in the Gentleman's Magazine" may be learned from his Life, p. 139; and, from his letter to Mr. Ur ban, LXIV. 887, what he thought of those who did not think with him.

The torney-general, on the subject of a late trial trial was that of one of the publishers of the preceding pamphlet (LXIX 44). For this he met the fate predicted in our review of it, being fentenced to two years imprifoament in Dorchester gaol, Dorfet, wherein he paffed his time in claffical and literary purfuits, his friends and family being allowed free access to him, and himself full liberty of walking in the garden and on the leads; and here he conceived a defign of compiling a Greek Lexicon; but, not meeting with fufficient encouragement, relinquifhed it by public advertisement (LXXI. 256). In the Monthly Magazine he published two remarkable letters, in which he endeavours to do away a prejudice of confiderable ftrength and ftanding, refpecting the elegance of the style of Hume. In our vol. LXVIII. pp. 649, 741, may be feen a short correfpondence between him and Dr. Glaffe. "In contemplating Mr. W's general character as an author, the first and higheft commendation is due to his remarkable industry. It is this active principle that has enabled him, with a respectable share of talent, to ferve the trueft interests of afeful letters with far greater effect than has commonly fallen to the lot of first-rate genius. His knowledge of Greek and Roman authors is extenfive and accurate; and, as a critick, he poffeffes a spirit most penetrating and ardent. As an emendator, he is frequently ingenious, but certainly, for the greater part, too bold. His Latin ftyle, as he himself acknowledges, favours more of the expreflive energy of Quintilian than of the magnificent volubility of Cicero. It is not a little to be lamented, for the fake of Mr. W's credit, that, with fuch peculiar faculties for the enjoyment of claffical ftudies, he fhould ever have forfaken that flowery path to fhare the groveling walks of writers infinitely his inferiors, relinquishing the loftieft diftinctions of literary character for a pitiful difplay of party-fpirit or peculiarity of opinion. Some of his controverfial writings, theological as well as political, are peculiarly indecent for their violence and illiberality; and his difpofition appears, upon thefe occafions, to fuch difadvantage that his unpopularity feems a neceffary confequence. His English ftyle is always manly and graceful, and fometimes peculiarly elegant and energetic; moit readers will, however, object to his fuperabundant ufe of claffical quotation. His numerous writings have, for the greater part, experienced an indifferent reception; and fonie of them, particularly the earlier ones, have been feverely handled by the criticks of their day." Literary Memoirs of living Authors, 1798, I. 353, 354 In another recent publication we find the following character of Mr. Wakefield: "In converfation he is remarkably mild and gentle, and his manners are pleafing. His memory is fo uncommonly tenacious that His remains were interred, with much funeral pomp, at Richmond, Surrey, where his brother Thomas is at prefent incumbent. Mifs M. Kiddell, of Henrietta ftr.

Her health had been gradually declining ever fince the death of her husband, noticed in our Obituary, vol. LXX. 93. For feveral months prior to her deceafe her diforder had be come extremely painful; but, through the whole coufe of it, fhe was never known to repine. When the became fenfible of her approaching diffolution fhe maintained the fame compofure, and converfed about the care of her children, with her refpective parents, with equal affection and ju dicious arrangement. Upon the tuition of her only fon the often dwelt with peculiar tenderness, that he might emulate "the angel his deceased father," an expreffion the frequently applied; and concluded with hoping that the might be found fit to join him in heaven. The writer of this, who has witneffed the final departure of many a pious character, never faw calm, mental compofure, under the preffare of death, more undeviating, or Chriftian refignation more exemplary.

During a contagious fever which carried off many poor families in his neighbourhood last year, he evinced fuch judgment, perfoverance, and philanthropy, in giving up his time and talents to the faceour of the poor, that he received the public thanks of feveral parishes. A large circuit of country la ments the lofs of his abilities and indefatigable endeavours to do all the good in his power; whilft his immediate friends and acquaintance feel a chafm in their happinefs, which can hardly fall to the lot of any other perfon to supply. 23.
