DAVID JENNINGS, Esq. Dec. 6. David Jennings, esq. of Fenchurch-street, and of Hall-house, Hawkherst, Keut; a gentleman long known and highly valued by his Fellow Citizens, for his active zeal, and the strictest integrity, in public situations of great responsibility; particularly as Chairman of the Land and Assessed Taxes for the City of London, and a Special Commissioner under the late Property Tax. In these several situations, his conduct was uniformly and equally firm to the just demands of Government, and lenient to the fair and equitable claims of indulgence to individuals. Under the several Commissions above named, the City paid above a million annually in direct taxes; and to the credit of the Commissioners it may be stated, that no default took place in the collection, which in some districts was obliged to be supplied by re assessments on the inhabitants.-Hall-house, at Hawkherst, for two centuries in the family of Mercer, came by purchase in 1662, into the possession of Nathaniel Collyer, esq. and from him to his grandson Dr. Nathaniel Lardner; who, dying unmarried, bequeathed his property at Hawkherst to his sister's daughter and her husband, Mr. Joseph Jennings (son, we be

lieve, of David Jennings, D.D. a respectable Dissenting Minister); from whom it descended to his son, whose death is here recorded.

In 1792, Mr.Jennings published, as a sequel to "Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica," "Hawkherst *; a Sketch of its History and Antiquities, upon the Plan suggested in the Gentleman's Magazine for procuring Parochial Histories throughout England," 4to.; and from this elegant local Tract we shall copy a single article:

"An oval marble tablet has lately been erected, on the ornamental part of which it is sufficient to observe, that it is executed by the first Statuary of the age, Bacon. On the upper part of the oval is a Bible, open at the first page of the New Testament, surrounded by rays of light, with the motto running through it, God said, Let there be light, and there was light.'

And on a black marble in the centre:

Nathaniel Lardner, D. D. drew his first and latest breath at Hall-house, in this Parish. Benevolent as a Gentleman, indefatigable as a Scholar, exemplary as a Minister, wherever he resided. His Usefulness was prolonged to his 86th year; when, having established the Historical Credibility of the Records of our common Salvation, without partiality, and beyond reply, their promises became his eternal inheritance, July 8, 1768. From reverence to the memory of his Uncle, these truths were inscribed by David Jennings, 1789."

DR. JAMES CURRY.

Nov. 26. James Curry, M. D. F. 6. A. of Grafton Street, Senior Physician to Guy's Hospital, and Lecturer on the Theory and Practice of Medicine. This respectable Physician was a native of Scotland, and received his education at Edinburgh. In 1787 he came to England, and settled at Kettering, from whence he removed to London, where he deservedly gained great reputation and considerable practice. He published, "Observations on Apparent Death from Drowning and Suffocation, with an account of the means to be applied for Recovery," 1793, Svo. 2d edit. 1797. "Examination of the Prejudices entertained against Mercury," 1810, 8vo. 2d edit. He also published "A brief Sketch of the Causes which gave rise to the high Price of Grain." 1815, 8vo.

WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, Esq. M. D.

Oct. 26. Of an apoplectic seizure, at Haughton, the seat of the Marquis of Cholmondeley, William Armstrong, esq. M. D. aged 45. Doctor Armstrong was a native of Dublin, and of a very respect

able

able family in that city, where he was 'a member of the University, and from which he proceeded to Edinburgh as a student in medicine; afterwards enlarging his opportunities of acquirement, by a long residence in Germany, and other parts of the continent; during which he learned to write and speak the French and German languages with fluency; made great advances in the knowledge of his profession; and established an extensive acquaintance among persons of the highest rank, both British and Foreign. He united in himself many of those qualities which are known most to attract and to retain the esteem and affection of mankind. Independent in his circumstances, he practised his profession without any view to emolument ; but his beneficent disposition, for more than twenty years, gave perpetual employment to superior talents, improved by a complete and regular medical education, and a natural understanding of peculiar solidity. His purse, skill, time, and pity were for ever at the service of the afflicted and forlorn, many of whom have too much reason to lament him; while to the circle of private friendship, the loss of his enlightened, honest, and manly character is irreparable.

THOMAS MARRIOTT BARDIN, ESQ. Mr. T. M. Bardin (whose death we noticed in our last, p. 478) was the only son of the late William Bardin of the same place, who was for several years the chief assistant at the house of Mr. Benjamin Martin, manufacturing Senex's Globes; who brought the art of making the balls and applying the papers to the greatest perfection. After the decease of Mr. Martin, he first published new and improved sets of 18 inch and 12 inch Globes, in the English Language; from a modern accurate drawing by Mr. Arrowsmith, and from computations of the correct position of the Stars, &c. to the present period, by Mr. W. Jones, under the sanction of Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Maskelyne the Astronomer Royal. So accurate were the graduations and mounting, that Dr. Maskelyne used to resolve spherical Trigonometrical problems on the 18 inch to sufficient exactness for obtaining the position of the Stars, previously to accurate observatious by the regular instruments. These Globes the deceased, after the death of his father, continued to manufacture with equal credit to himself as an artist, and to the preference and approbation of the scientific. He was, with the interval of one year, a respectable member of the Common Council for eight years for the Ward of Farringdon Without. Possessing a loyal and impartial mind; observing the rapid strides and influence of party spirit; feeling that his civic duties alienated him from those of his business and his family

association; he set an example worthy of imitation, of returning in 1812 to the tranquil and domestic society of his family and private friends. He was a man of virtuous and independent character; of sincere, generous, and hospitable manners. He was of a constitution similar to his father, inclined to extreme corpulency, which, by recently affected health, terminated in a dropsical complaint in his chest, that caused his dissolution in the 52 year of his age.

He has left an only child, a daughter, by his late wife, and to whom he has bequeathed his estates and personal property.
