He

Millin) as one of the happiest results of our victories." He immediately fell to work to arrange the works of art which France had thus acquired, and drew up accounts of them short and precise, but always replete with erudition and taste. As the Museum kept increasing, he reprinted these accounts; and gave more ample descriptions of the principal monu. ments in the splendid collection intituled "Le Musée Français," undertaken by Robillard. He was doubly enrolled among the members of the Institute; he made reports to the two academies to which he belonged, and published many interesting papers in different journals, and in the works of various scholars. conceived the vast plan of a Greek and Roman Iconography; government furnished him with the means of executing this enterprize, to which it has ever since afforded every encouragement. The Greek Iconography is completed (2 vols. folio, or 3 in 4to. with a volume of plates); the most difficult part of the Roman, that of the great men, has just made its appearance (one vol. folio and one 4to, with a volume of plates); that of the emperors alone remains to be done, and for this portion but few materials besides the medals themselves are required. Foreigners as well as his own country sought the aid of M. Visconti's experience and talents. Twenty-five years ago, Sir Rd. Worsley employed him to draw up descriptions of the works of art collected by him in Greece, which were published with the title of "Museum Worsleianum," in two folio volumes; and when the British parliament was in treaty with Lord Elgin for the purchase of his marbles, it availed itself of the superior intelligence of M. Visconti, who did not disappoint the expectations of the Nation which paid him this honour. The memoirs which he afterwards published on the subject of those marbles were immediately translated into English. The vigorous constitution of M. Visconti afforded promise of a much longer life he fell a martyr to the painful disease the stone, which carried him off on the 14th of February. He has left little besides a great reputation to his widow and two sons, one of whom holds a civil office, whilst the other, still very young, has adopted the profession of architect. The designs made by him for his father's Iconography and for the Camoens published by Count de Sousa, are pledges that he will arrive at distinction in the honourable career of the arts. M. Visconti has been succeeded as Keeper and Director of the Museum of Statues by the Count de Clarac,, who is well known. for his taste and intelligence; and M. Mongez is charged with the completion of the Roman Iconography.

He contributed various articles to the "Biographie Universelle," and had planned several important literary works; but his capital undertaking would have been a "History of the School of Alexandria," which was to have embraced six centuries, from the end of the reign of Alexander to the beginning of Constantine's.

Rather than give up his pretended rights to the famous Middenstead, he obstinately refused all supply from the poor funds of his parish; and in order that he might retain what he conceived would be the means of bringing him once more within the walls of the Parliament House, wandered about from place to place, until at last, from his habits of body and mind, he became such a nuisance, that, disowned by every relation, and shut out from every house, it was found necessary to convey him to the common prison, which he quitted only for that asylum where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are

at rest.

Deeply imbued with the spirit of Attic literature, and a critick in the learned languages, be was an elegant and profound scholar; but, an infant in the selfish commerce of the world, was usually duped by the designing and the base. Driven from home by a dispute concerning his patrimonial rights, he honourably made his talents the means of subsistence; but the legal vexations he encountered in maintaining those rights, and the injurious ardour of a secluded life of study, gradually obscured his mental perceptions, and produced the disorder, which, defying all means of cure, soon terminated his guileless, but melancholy existence. Of Mr. Steel's higher compositions, many have appeared; but his unaffected modesty invariably withheld the name of their author.

At St. Cross, near Winchester, aged 72, Mrs. Arabella Shepard, relict of Mr. Thomas Shepard, of Lymington, and many years post-mistress of that place. She was cousin to General Wolfe, the hero of Quebec;-but it is rather to her distinguished virtues than her illustrious connexion, that the writer of this (one who knew her well, and knowing loved her) desires to bear his feeble testimony. She was a child of sorrow; but through all the heavy pressure of her afflictions and trials, she was admirably supported by a firm reliance on the mercies of her God; and by her cheerful submission to his dispensations, she drew the affection of the kindest sympathy from every class of persons around her. She was constantly in the active exercise of every Christian virtue; and her goodness of heart and excellent disposition will be long fondly and gratefully remembered --W. S.
