of Balvenie, died in 1722, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir Robert, who dying in 1758, was succeeded by his brother, Charles, who died without issue, and was succeeded by his youngest brother, William, the above baronet. The title is now extinct.

March 25. Expired easily, and almost imperceptibly, at his apartments in Jesus college, Cambridge, Rev. Robert Tyrwhitt, formerly fellow of that college. His father was residentiary of St. Paul's; and his grandfather, on the mother's side, the eelebrated Dr. Gibson, bishop of London. With these and other connexions, he had every reason to expect high preferment in the church; but his conscience forbad bim to make use of such advantages, and he resigned his fellowship, and all his expectations from the church, on the deliberate conviction of his mind, that one God only-who is emphatically stiled in Scripture the Father-and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the only object of religious worship. On the resignation of his fellowship he was reduced to a very narrow income, on which he lived cheerfully and contentedly; but by the death of his brother, clerk to the House of Commons, he came into possession of a property which enabled him to act up to the dictates of a generous heart. It will be incredible to the generality of readers how little he spent upon himself, and how much upon others. In every profession, Divinity, Law, Physic, Navy, Army, are many to lament his loss, and to remember the kindness of a most liberal benefactor. His benevolence was not confined to any sect or party. He looked upon all as children of one common parent, and himself as a steward merely, under Providence, for what remained to him after the gratification of his natural wants and very moderate desires. Notwithstanding his separation from the church, he lived in College, highly respected by that Society, and by the most distinguished members of the university. For the last eight or ten years

he was confined by the gout chiefly to his rooms, and he had not slept out of College for twenty or thirty years. He was particularly well acquainted with the Statutes of the University, was associated with Jebb in his plan for the improvement of education, was a friend of the late Bishops Law and Watson; and a more strenuous advocate for liberty, civil aud religious, as distinguished from anarchy and misrule, never existed. He published two sermons, preached before the university of Cambridge, the one on the Baptismal Form, the other on the Creation of all things by Jesus Christ; and whoever reads them will lament that the author has not explained his sentiments more fully on many other parts of Scripture. His nephew, Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, is now the head of the family of this name.

At Newbold Pacy, Warwickshire, Sarah Wightwick, the wife of William Little, esq. daughter of the late Thomas, and sister of the late John Wightwick Knightley, esq. of Offchurchbury, in the same county.

ADDITIONS.

Vol. LXXXVI. ii. p. 626. b. James Duncan, esq. was the only acknowledged child of Mr. James Duncan of Lincoln's-inn, solicitor, whose death is recorded in our Obituary, vol. LXXIII. p. 1194. His father was a skilful lawyer; but too intent on the acquisition and retention of wealth; and the son was brought up in a state by which he suffered more than the inheritance of all his father's property (which was left to him by will) could compensate. He was, however, of an unassuming and easy temper, just and honourable in his

sentiments and conduct, and generous to such of his relations as were sickly, or otherwise required his immediate assistance. As he resolved never to marry, he at all times declared, while he enjoyed tolerable health, that his property should, at his death, be divided among his relations, in fair and reasonable proportions. He was affected with a paralytic stroke, and became almost blind some time before his death. D.

P. 184. b. Rev. Richard Mant, D.D. was formerly a member of Trinity college, Oxford, where he took his degree of M. A. in 1768, but accumulated those of B. and D.D. at New College in 1793. He was educated under the Wartons, and continued on terms of the closest intimacy with those eminent scholars. He was the author of "Public Worship, a Sermon preached at the consecration of All Saints' Church, Southampton, Nov. 12, 1795;" 1796: which, when delivered, gave offence to the Dissenters, one of whom, a popular preacher of the town, published an attack upon the doctor on the charge of intolerance, to repel which he very judiciously printed his discourse.

"Guide to the Understanding of the Church Catechism," 1807.-The Rev. Richard Mant, vicar of Great Coggeshall, and domestic chaplain to the archbishop of Canterbury, who has distinguished himself by several able theological and poetical publications, is a son of the deceased divine.
