OBITUARY.

OBITUARY.

DR. EUSEBY CLEAVER, D. D. ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.

Lately. At Tunbridge Wells, the Right Hon. and Most Rev. Euseby Cleaver, D. D. Lord Archbishop of Dublin, and Bishop of Glandelagh, Primate of Ireland, Chancellor of the illustrious Order of St. Patrick, Visitor of Trinity College, Dublin, &c. &c. He was of Christ Church, Oxford; M. A. 1770; B. and D. D. 1783.

This prelate was a native of Buckinghamshire; his father, the Rev. William Cleaver, M. A. who was a clergyman of the Church of England, having been for many years the respectable master of a private school, at Twyford, in that county. The reputation of this divine, and his vicinity to Stowe, introduced him to the notice of the Grenville family. Accordingly, his eldest son, the late William Cleaver, of Brazen Nose, became tutor to the first Marquis of Buckingham, while the latter was a student of Christchurch. This event, in due time, produced important results to the whole family; for the elder brother obtained the bishopricks of Chester, Bangor, and St. Asaph in succession; while the younger, accompanying their munificent patron, during his second residence in Ireland, as viceroy, was soon promoted to the See of Fernes, whence he was translated to that of Cork; and finally obtained all the archiepiscopal honours of that diocese, of which Dublin is the capital.

Dr. Euseby Cleaver, after residing some time in Ireland, married a lady of that country, by whom he had several children. This amiable woman died at Egremont House, Fulham, May 1, 1816, greatly lamented by all her friends and relatives.

EARL OF EGLINTON,

Dec. 14. At Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire, the Right Hon. Hugh Montgomerie, Earl of Eglinton, Lord Montgomerie and Kilwinning (Baron Ardrossan, in Great Britain), Knight of the Most Ancient Order of the Thistle, Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, one of the State Counsellors of the Prince of Wales, &c. His Lordship was the son of Alexander Montgomerie, esq. of Cuilsfield, by Lilias, daughter of Sir Robert Montgomerie, of Skelmorlie, and was born in 1739. He married Eleanora, daughter of J. Hamilton, esq. of Bourtreehill, who died in 1817. By this Lady he had several children, only two of whom are living, Lady Lilias Oswald, and Lady Jane. His Lordship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his grandson, Archibald, born on the 29th of September 1812, only son of Archibald Lord Montgomorie,

by Lady Mary, only surviving daughter of Archibald, the eleventh Earl of Eglinton.The late Earl was long in the Army, and, during the American War, was Major of the West Fencibles. When the War broke out with France in 1793, he raised and commanded that fine regiment, the West Lowland Fencibles, which command he resigned after several years service. succeeded his cousin Archibald, as Earl of Eglinton, in 1796. The death of this patriotic Nobleman will be much regretted, as he gave employment to a great number of people on his estates, which he has much improved since he came to the title.

He

The paternal name of this family was Seton, of which paternal name was also the ancestor of the Duke of Gordon, at the close of the fourteenth century.

REV. JAMES DOUGLAS.

Nov. 5. At Preston, Sussex, the Rev. James Douglas, F.S. A. for some time a member of Peter House, Cambridge; Rector of Middletou, Sussex; and Chaplain in Ordinary to the Prince Regent.

Early in life he obtained a Commission in the Army, and made a tour through various parts of the Continent.

In January 1780, he married Margaret, daughter of John Oldershaw, esq. of Rochester (who had previously been an eminent surgeon at Leicester); and in the same year was elected F.S.A. and entered into holy orders.

His first publication was in the line of his original profession, an "Essay on Tactics, from the French of Guibert, 1781," 2 vols. 8vo.

In 1782 he published, but without his name, one volume of his "Travelling Anecdotes, through various Parts of Europe;" and promised a second. This work possessed some merit. It was written in the Shandeyan style, though the Author disavowed such intention. A second edition, with his name, appeared in 1785, with a Preface, in which he made an apology for declining to give the promised second Volume of these Anecdotes, hinting very properly, that more serious avocations are better suited to his present engagement in the "solemn duties of the Church."

In 1785, he published " A Dissertation on the Theory of the Earth," 4to; also "Two Dissertations on the Brass Instruments called Gelts, and other Arms used by the Ancients, found in this island, with two fine aquatinta Engravings;" which forms the XXXIIld Number of the "Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica." In

the

the same year a Letter addressed to him by Lieutenant-general Robert Melville, with Mr. Douglas's Answer, was read at the Society of Autiquaries, and published in the Archæologia, vol. VII. 374-678.

In 1786 he commenced his greatest undertaking, entitled "Nenia Britannica; or, A Sepulchral History of Great Britain, from the earliest Period to its general Conversion to Christianity. Including a complete Series of the British, Roman, and Saxon Sepulchral Rites and Ceremonies, with the Contents of several hundred Burial Places opened under a careful Inspection of the Author; tending to illustrate the early Part of, and to fix on a more unquestionable criterion for the study of Antiquity. To which are added some Observations on the Celtic, British, Roman, and Danish Burrows discovered in Great Britain *," folio. In this Work every circumstance relative to the tombs are particularly described, and the tombs themselves, with all their contents, are represented in aquatinta plates, executed by Mr. Douglas, and admirably adapted for conveying an accurate idea of antique relics.

In 1791, be published "Twelve Discourses on the Influence of the Christian Religion on Civil Society," 8vo. (See vol. LXII. p. 648.)

In 1793, he completed his " Nenia Bri. tannica," and dedicated it to the Prince of Wales, to whom he had previously been appointed a Chaplain in Ordinary.

In 1795, he contributed to the "History of Leicestershire" a delicate Plate of Coston Church, accompanied by a perfect Fossil Oyster, found in that parish. This plate was by his own masterly hand, in that species of eugraving in which he so much excelled.-Of his graphic skill another specimen was given in the wholelength portrait of Captain Grose, whom he caught napping; it was "cordially in scribed to those Members of the Antiquarian Society who adjourn to the Somerset, by one of their devoted brethren," with the Society's lamp, and the following lines under it, which were handed about to Mr. Grose's great displeasure:

“Now ****, like bright Phoebus, has sunk into rest,

Society droops for the loss of his jest ; Antiquarian debates, unseason'd with mirth, [birth.

To Genius and Learning will never give Then wake, brother Member, our friend from his sleep, [should weep." Lest Apollo should frown, and Bacchus

A Letter from Mr. Douglas on Roman Remains at Blatchington, in Sussex, is inserted in vol. LXXXVIII. ii. p. 107.

See a Letter of Mr. Douglas on the subject of this Work, in vol. LXIII. p.881.

The early part of Mr. Douglas's Ministry was at Chedingford in Sussex, from which place many letters of his to our Magazine are dated, He was afterwards presented, by the Earl of Egremont, to the Rectory of Middleton in the same county; but his residence has latterly been at Preston. He has left a widow, with three sons and one daughter.

JOHN BOWLES, Esq.

Oct. 30. At his lodgings in Queen'ssquare, Bath, aged 68, John Bowles, esq. late of Dulwich, Barrister at Law, a Commissioner of Bankrupts, and a Magistrate for the County of Surrey. He was the son of Mr. Bowles, formerly a Printseller in Cornhill, and was for some time a Commissioner for the sale of Dutch Prizes. Mr. Bowles was the first who entered the field in order to combat the dangerous principles and ensnaring sophistry of Paine, in a tract entitled "A Protest against Paine ;" in which he urged, with concise energy, the strongest arguments against the insiduous doctrines of that delusive writer. The Society which at that time met at the Crown and Anchor Tavern for the protection of liberty and property against republicans and levellers, ordered it to be printed, and sold at a very low price for the purpose of extending its circulation among the lower classes.

The Pamphlets of this Political Writer are very numerous: the following are from his pen :

Considerations on the respective rights of Judge and Jury, particularly upon Trials for Libel, 8vo. 1791.-Letter to the Right Hon. Chas. James Fox, occasioned by his late motion in the House of Commons respecting Libels, 8vo. 1791. -A Second Letter upon the matter of Libel, 8vo. 1792.-Brief deductions from first Principles, applying to the matter of Libel, being an Appendix to the Second Letter, 8vo. 1792.-The Real Grounds of the present War with France, 8vo. 1793. -A short Answer to the Declaration of the Persons calling themselves Friends of the Liberty of the Press, 8vo. 1793.Dialogues on the Rights of Britons, 8vo. 1793. Reflections submitted to the Consideration of the Combined Powers, 8vo. 1794-Further Reflections, 8vo. 1795.---The Dangers of Premature Feace, 8vo. 1795.-Thoughts on the Origin and Formation of Political Institutions, 8vo. 1795. -A Protest against Paine's Rights of Man, 8vo. 1795.-Two Letters addressed to a British Merchant, 8vo. 1796.-A Third Letter to a British Merchant, 8vo. 1797. These Letters contained some good reinarks on the foreign and domestic politics of the country, together with strictures on the conduct of the Opposition. - French Aggression, proved from Mr.

Erskine's
