The Chemical Catechism, 8vo. 1806; 5th edition, - 1812.-Rudiments of Chemistry, illustrated by Experiments, 18mo. 1809.

PARR, SAMUEL, LL.D. This learned divine was born at Harrow on the Hill, Jan. 26, 1746. He received his education at Harrow School, from whence he removed to Emmanuel College, Cambridge: but before he was twenty, he became assistant in the school where he had been bred. On the death of Dr. Sumner, the master, he offered himself as candidate to succeed him, but being rejected on account of his youth, he removed from Harrow and opened a seminary at Stanmore. In 1769 he entered into orders, and in 1777 he went to Cob

chester on being appointed master of an endowed grammar school in that town. The year following, however, he removed to Norwich, to superintend a similar establishment in that city. In 1781 he took his doctor's degree at Cambridge, and in 1783 Bishop Lowth bestowed upon him a prebend in the Cathedral of St. Paul. In 1785 Lady Trafford presented him to the perpetual curacy of Hatton, near Warwick, to which place he retired shortly after, adding to his parochial duties the charge of a few private pupils. The riots at Birmingham in 1791, had nearly proved destructive to the property of Dr. Parr, in consequence of his intimacy with Dr. Priestley, and perhaps on account of his known political sentiPARRY, CALEB HILLIER, M.D. F.R.S. ments.

This critique has been reprinted in the Classical Journal, with additions. This produced a bitter attack on the Doctor, by the Editor, who made no scruple of charging him by name as the critic. To this a reply was made, in which the lash was repeated with still greater severity. In 1802 Dr. Parr was presented, by Sir Francis Burdett, to the rectory of Graffham in Huntingdonshire; and we have heard, that when the party of Mr. Fox came into power, an application was made for the elevation of the Dr. to a dignity in the church, which, however, met with such opposition as to prove of no effect. In 1771, he married Miss Maissendale, by whom he has had several children, none of whom are living. The Doctor is as great a smoker as the learned Dr. Isaac Barrow was, and we have been told, that he has emptied twenty pipes of an evening. His literary performances are,
