Of the latter infiar omnium is the following elogium by Bishop Lowth, in the preface to his English Grammar: "Those who would enter more deeply into this fubject, will find it fully and accurately handled, with the greatest accuteness of investigation, perfpicuity of explication, and elegance of method, in a Treatife entitled Hermes, by James Hatris, Efq. the most beautiful and perfect example of Analyfis that has been exhibited fince the days of Aristotle." In 1775 his Philofophical Arrangements made their appearance. It is with great pleasure that we learn this gentleman had finifhed, just before his death, another ingenious work, entitled Philological Inquiries, which is printed, and we hear will be foon published. His good qualities as a man are well known to a large circle of his friends and acquaintance in this country; and his great abilities as an author acknowledged and efteemed by the literati throughout Europe. 22.

He was a fellow of the royal college of phyficians at Edinburgh, of the royal and antiquarian focieties in London, and a member of other learned as well as medical inftitutions, in this and foreign nations, in which his great reputation as a phyfician is univerfally established. The exertion of his great abilities was not confined to the practice of medicine and the fudy of nature, but was unremittingly employed to the promotion of the general good and happiness of mankind: and as his extenfive knowledge, public fpirit, and many virtues, were not lefs eminent than his medical skill, he will be defervedly ranked among the illustrious characters of the prefent age.

And enlarged with Eight Pages of Letter-Prefs extraordinary, containing (Befides copious and accurate INDEXES, a GENERAL TITLE, and PREFACE) Summary of the Debates in Parliament, ORD N-th moved for leave to bring in his bill for eftablifh ing a commiffion of accounts; which, after fome warm alter cation between his Lordship and Col. Bré, Ald. H-rl-y and Sir Wm. Md-h, was agreed to. Mr. F-then read the Weftminfter tion, which was ordered to lie on the table. The order of the day was moved, for the Houfe to go into a committee on the claufe in Mr. Burke's bill for abolishing the board of trade. ment Caufe of the prefent Difcontents*; whofe opinion, he trufted, would have particular weight with the framer of the prefent bill. On this clear ground he made no doubt but the hon. gentleman would acknowledge the propriety of adducing eviAdence from the moft authentic documents of the board, during a period of 180 years. He affured the committee, that the records to which he referred confifted of 2300 folio volumes, containing the most authentic and important informaBtion concerning the fubject in debate, peti-though the hon. gentleman, who knows nothing of their contents, thinks himself juftified in reprefenting them as fo many monuments of unprofitable labour; and chufing rather to call his witnelfes from the dead +, than to take the pains to confult the unerring teftimony of recorded facts. In thefe volumes he might have found the names of Locke, Addifon, Prior Molefworth, and the late Mr. Charles Townshend, with other refpectable perfonages, who at different periods enjoyed feats at the board of trade. That refpectable ftatefman, indeed, the Earl of Suffolk, could not have been found; but he might have indulged his fportive fancy round the tombs of Locke and Addifon, without calling to patoful recollection the laft agonies of a departed husband, a Mr. Edn (one of the lords of trade) rofe, to ftate his objections against the general principle of the bill, that the hon. gentleman who framed it might have no reason to complain of taking n unprepared. He faid, it was contrary to parliamentary ufage for the Houfe to interfere in controlling the or-D dinary courfe of adminiltration, till full proof had been given of fome abufe in the executive government, That this doctrine was most ably maintained by the author of a pamphlet, intituled, The The Pamphlet here referred to was written by Mr. B-kę. +Aluding to what Mr. B. faid relative to Ld Suffolk in a formar debate.
