imagery, and leaving them in amazement with his exhaustless catalogue of wonders. In a philosophical point of view he had failings, but he has done much for the advancement of geology and certainly more than any man living to bring it into attractive and popular notice.—Literary Gazette, Nov. 13.
On September 28, in his 80th year, the Rev. Hugh Salvin. He was a ripe scholar and a good classic, and a keen and intelligent observer of all that was passing in the world. He had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and information on every subject, and possessed the rare faculty of being able to communicate to others, and to the young especially, in the most lucid and agreeable manner, the treasures of a well-stored mind. He was also an oriental scholar, conversant with Hebrew and Arabic, and with most of the modern languages of Europe he was also familiar.-Gentleman's Magazine, November.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, Professor Cowper. In the general applications of science to the practical purposes of life few men stood higher than Professor Cowper, but his most distinguished success was in the invention and improvement of machinery for the printing machine, which has had so important an effect in cheapening literature. In his general character Mr. Cowper was as eager in extending his knowledge to others as he was industrious in acquiring it for himself.--Athenæum, Oct. 23.
On Dec. 16th, at Barley Rectory, Herts, the Rev. Samuel Lee, D.D., Rector of Barley, canon of the cathedral church of Bristol, and late Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Lee received the first rudiments of learning at a charity school at Longnor; and at twelve he was put out apprentice to a carpenter. Though he had only six shillings per week, he contrived to spare something to gratify his desire for learning, and acquired the knowledge of Latin and Greek, reading Cicero, Cæsar, Horace, Plato, Homer, and Lucian. After this, chance threw in his way the Targum of Onkelos, which he soon learned to read; then the Syriac and the Samaritan.
By this time he had attained his 25th year; and being sent into Worcestershire, on the part of his master, to superintend the repairing of a large house, he determined to relinquish the study of languages, and consider his calling as his only support. But a fire broke out in the house, and, consuming his tools, worth about 257., left him without a shilling. He then thought of some new course of life in which his former studies might prove advantageous, and he became master of a school at Shrewsbury, and afterwards the most distinguished Oriental scholar of this country.
