the title of "Aualogia Latinæ, or a Developement of those Analogies by which the Parts of Speech in Latin are derived from each other," &c. But Dr. Jones's great work on language, to which he had devoted a very large portion of his active life, and the best energies of his mind, was his Greek and English Lexicon, which appeared in 1823, in one volume octavo. The success of this work equalled his most sanguine wishes. A large impression was rapidly sold. It was not to be expected that a work of this nature and extent could be sent forth wholly free from defects, or that the author, whatever might be his learning and critical skill, should be able in every instance to secure the concurrence of scholars in his derivations and explanations; but, though the work may possibly be liable to some objections, the author has executed his task in a manner highly creditable to his industry, his erudition, his taste, and critical acumen. He has been rewarded by the approving verdict of some of the first scholars and critics of the age, and, among others, by the late Dr. Parr. When the impression of this work was nearly sold, Dr. Jones printed another of a similar kind, but designed for a different class of persons. This he entitled ، The Tyro's Greek and Euglish Lexicon," which is a very excellent and useful publication. Dr. Jones had intended to revise the first Lexicon, and to re-publish it at some future period; but he had, however, at the time of his death made very little progress, and the author's copy remains nearly in the same state in which it was printed.-Not long after the publication of the first Greek Lexicon, some severe animadversions in a critical journal, drew from Dr. Jones "An Answer to a Pseudo-Criticism of the GreekEnglish Lexicon, which appeared in the Second Number of the Westminster Re view." Dr. Jones's last work was entitled, “An Explanation of the Greek Article, in Three Parts. 1. Analysis and Refutation of Dr. Middleton's Theory. 2. An Analysis of Matthie's Dissertation. 3. An Application of the Article to obscure Passages of the New Testament." This work was printed during the author's life-time, but he died before it was published. The characteristics of Dr. Jones's mind were an irrepressible ardour and enthusiasm in the prosecution of whatever he undertook; great confidence in the corectness of his own views, arising from a conscientiousness of superior intellectual powers; an utter disdain of the authority of great names when he failed to be convinced by their arguments; a devoted attachment to truth, and a faithful adherence to what he deemed such, united with a fearless disregard of personal conse quences. He has left his literary property in the charge of trustees, providing that his classical works should be re-printed under the editorial care of his nephew, Mr. James Chervet, of Croydon, who had been educated by him, and of whose classical attainments and judgment be entertained a high opinion. Dr. Jones's remains were interred in the burying ground of St. George's, Bloomsbury. BENJAMIN STRUTT, Esq. Feb. 24. In High-street, Colchester, Benjamin Strutt, esq. in whose death the town and borough have sustained a loss not easily to be repaired. As Chamberlain to the borough, in particular, he has rendered it many important services, and as an antiquary has deeply investigated its history and its rights. Whilst his extraordinary talents and multifarious information commandlence secured him the love of the poor, ed the respect of the rich, his benevoof whom his principles invariably ren dered him the general adviser and steadfast friend. Had he coveted wealth or power, the avenues to both lay open before him, for the grasp of his mind was capacious enough to have enabled him to become one of the most influential public characters of the county; but the artificial distinctions of society presented no attractions to one already independent in his own resources: utility was the sole aim of his occupations, and whenever a duty was to be performed to a friend, or a service rendered to his townsmen, or to society at large, then he stood forward, foremost and fearlessly; but for the employment of his more lei debted solely to his love of science and the fine arts, as cultivated by him in the interrupted seclusion of his study. sure hours he was contented to be in A long and painful illness brought into more immediate view those most precious attributes of the mind, which his total indifference to the praise of man would have otherwise led him to conceal rather than display, even from his nearest and dearest ties; and it is now the consolation of his sorrowing family to reflect, that his acute sufferings were borne with implicit resignation to the will of God, and bis existence surrendered with pious tranquillity, REV. T. S. COBBOLD. March 28. Aged 28, after a long protracted affliction, borne with exemplary submission, the Rev. Thomas Spencer Cobbold, only son of the Rev. Spencer Cobbold, of Woolpit. He received his academical education at Clare Hall, Cambridge, where he proceeded to the degree of B. A. in 1822, and to that of M. A. in 182.. He was a character of no common mould or ordinary merit, though unhappily thrown into shade by a retiring amiable modesty. Not many knew him; but none knew him but loved him. In talent and genius he was surpassed by few of his contemporaries; in qualities of a higher and holier cast, perhaps, by none. He was pre-eminently distinguished by sincerity and integrity, and an abhorrence of all manner of deception. To vanity his heart was an utter stranger. His piety was deep, earnest, active,-yet silent, unobtrusive, and charitable. His highest distinction was his hallowed zeal in the discharge of his professional duties. Few inen have had a more awful feeling of the responsibility of a Christian minister, and none ever acquitted themselves more conscientiously. His public instructions bore but a small proportion to his private and preparatory labours in the study and the closet; and to the influence of both united on a constitution naturally delicate, it may be feared he sacrificed his health, if not ultimately his life. But thou art gone, where wait at his command, [band Whom, living, thou didst love, an Angel To greet thy kindred Spirit, in whose strain Of converse from the dregs of earth refined [pain, Nought will be found thy chastened ear to Nor wound thy sensitively pious mind; Where too thy darling Poesy, whose power Charmed wasting sickness in a lonely hour, To hymn thy God shall re-attune its lays, And ever find fresh matter for its endless praise ! Meek Child of Poetry-a flower Too tender in thine opening prime For life's rude winds-had I the power By wishing from congenial clime To summon thee-I question if I wouldThou wast so pure, so simple, and so good! Although the silent prayer and frequent tear Bespoke thee, living, exquisitely dear. MR. ROBERT NUNN. March 11. At Eye, aged 62, Mr. Robert Nunn, for many years Master of the Grammar School in, and one of the Common Council of that Borough. Born in an humble rank of life, Mr. Nunn's ge nius for mathematical pursuits developed itself at a very early period of life, and deservedly attracted notice, by means of which, and his own assiduous exertions, he rose to the highly respectable station which he filled in society. He exhibited a rare combination of worth and talent, was mild and unassuming in his manners, possessed of universal benevolence, and unwearied in his efforts to promote peace and happiness amongst his fellow-creatures; whilst, as a preceptor, he secured equally the esteem of parents, and the affection of children entrusted to his care; and men, who have since obtained eminent academical rank, have been proud to acknowledge their obligations to his excellent system of instruction. He died with the respect and regret of all his fellow-townsmen, which was evinced, in the strongest manner, by the concourse of attendants at his funeral, and the unvaried expression of the deepest sympathy for his loss. MRS. ROGERS. March 8. At the Glebe-house, Sproughton, Suffolk, advanced in life, and most highly and deservedly lamented, Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. George Rogers, M.A. Rector of that parish, whose mild and unassuming manners will long render her memory esteemed. In every relation of life, the whole course of this venerable person was truly exemplary, inasmuch as she exhibited a bright pattern of coujugal affection, parental love, and benevolence of heart; whilst her death was in perfect unison, being marked by that placid serenity, which is the sure and certain criterion of the expiring Christian. 'Tis past—dear venerable shade, farewell! Thy blameless life thy peaceful death shall tell; Clear to the last thy setting orb has run, Pure, bright, and healthy, like a frosty sun: And late old age, with hand indulgent, shed Its mildest winter on thy favoured head; For Heaven prolonged her life to spread its praise, And blessed her with a patriarch's length of days. [heart, The truest praise was her's, a cheerful Prone to enjoy, and ready to impart; An Israelite indeed, and free from guile, She shewed that piety and age could smile. Religiou had her heart, her cares, her voice, 'Twas her last refuge, as her earliest choice. Matured at length for some more perfect [serene; Her hopes all bright, her prospects all Each part of life sustained with equal scene, worth, And not a wish left unfulfilled on earth, Like a tired traveller, with sleep opprest, Within her children's arms she dropped to rest. Farewell!-Thy cherished image ever dear Shall many a heart with pious love revere. Her remains were interred in the chancel of the church of Sproughton; and on a flat stone has been sculptured the following inscription to her memory : Hic jacet quicquid mortale est Anno Christi M.DCCC.XXVII. Ipswich, Mar. 14, 1827. MAJOR-FULler. J. F. Jan. 21. Mr. John Goglar, grocer and draper, of Whaplade Drove, Lincolnshire. He had long been celebrated for an eccentricity of character, which continued to predominate to the last moments of his existence. More than twenty years back he named a stone, called Old Kate's Stone, as the one he wished to place over his grave; his coffin he purchased about three months before his death. Some of his bequests are in unison with the eccentricities of his life; for, after bequeathing an unusual annual sum to the Peterborough Dispensary and to the School of Whaplade Drove, he gives the further sum of thirty shillings to be spent in plum cakes, to be marked, "J. G. W. D." and twenty shil lings for ale to be given to the poor of Whaplade Drove on Christmas eve for ever. Upwards of 400 persons, after following him to the grave, assembled at the school-room, where about 800 cakes and a hogshead of ale were by his desire, Dealt out in that old fashion'd measure Which once his cheerful heart called pleasure. MR. WM. JONES. Dec. 8. At Holkham, Norfolk, of a decay of nature, in his 90th year, Mr. Wm. Jones, who for upwards of fifty years filled the situation of huntsman and principal stable-servant in the establishment of Thomas William Coke, esq., with credit to himself, and much to the satisfaction of his employer, by whom he was greatly respected, and who consoled him on his approaching departure from this life, by repeatedly visiting him on his death-bed, and administering to his comfort. On one of these occasions, Mr. Coke took with him the young heir of Holkham, to shake his old servant by the hand. Lady Ann Coke, Lady Anson, and all the family at Holkham, shewed every possible kindness and attention to the venerable and much-respected old man. His bed was surrounded by different branches of his family in three generations, to all of whom he had ever been kind, and who revered and honoured him as a father and a patriarch. He retained his mental faculties to the last, and died perfectly composed and resigned. CLERGY DECEASED. June 9. At Newhaven, in Connecticut, aged 65, the Rev.
