friendly to the reception of impreffions from diferent caufes, which education cannot change, Helvetius could not deny, if he admitted that the intellectual functions depended, in any degree, upon the original organization. His love of truth, of the rules of moral conduct, of religion and picty, kept pace with the ardour of his attachment to the Arts. It appearing to be his proper deftination, Mr. E. was encouraged to ftudy Painting, and to fix himfelf in the purfuit of its excellencies. Fortunately, about this period the late Duke of Richmond opened his gallery of fculpture for the benefit of ftudents. This tands a friking inftance of the importance, to a uation, of well-directed patronage and encouragement: the establishment of the Royal Academy was owing, principally, to its confpicuous advantages, Mr. Edwards viited the Duke's collection with diligence and delight He there formed his elementary ideas of proportion and taste. Prior, however, to the Royal Academy, the Society of Arts offered premiums for performances in the Polite Arts; and Mr. Edwards, at different times, made fuccessful appeals to their judgment. Our Artift was among the firft pupils of the Academy. Having feized every occafion of improvement afforded in London, he became inflamed with the defire of view ing the models of perfection in Italy. Accordingly, in the year 1775 he fet out on a journey to Rome, by the route of France. It is obfervable, that, in one of his letters from Paris, he remarked, "that the corrup tion of all ranks of people there was fuch as must neceffarily foon occafion the deftruction of the exifting order of things in that country." And all his letters from France and Italy contained expreffions of "thank fulness to Heaven for being an Englishman, and for not having fuch heavy caules (apparent at least) to dread the Divine Vengeance on his native land."-He was at Rome in the year of the grand Jubilee, remarkable for proteffional Splendour. At one of his vifits to St. Petes, a circumftance occurred, which, ferioully confidered, would make every one exceedingly cautious in determining upon identity of perfon: He faw a prieft officiating in the church whom he firmly be lieved to be a relation of his, a ftaunch proteftant, and whom he had left in London, engaged in a very different avocation from that of a priestly function; and to very frong was the likenefs to his friend, of the perfon and the voice of this ecclefiaftic, that Mr. E. was not undeceived till he came clofe to his fide.-Mr. E. in his travels did not confine his obfervations to the works of fculp tors and painters only; he extended his obfervations allo to men and manners; and, had he written a journal of them, with the addition of his acute reflections, it would have been a curious and useful fragment, to have added the tketches he made while abroad of the drefies of the people of the different countries and districts through which he paffed. Our Artift alfo read much, and

digefted and made the truth of what he read his own; for he was endowed with an extraordinary memory. His converfation was confequently moft agreeable and edifying: no one could incline attention to him, without becoming a wiler and better man. In the year 1773 Mr. E. was chofeu an Affociate of the Royal Academy; and in 1788 he was appointed teacher of perfpective in the fchool of that Inftitution. His qualification for that department may be fuppofed, from his work on perfpective, which is allowed to do credit to the nation, and from his known confcientioufnefs in all his undertakings. But he was really, though not oftenfibly, a proficient in a branch of knowledge but little cultivated: he well understood the true principles of architecture. His abhorrence of the vitiated tafte, fo often publicly dif played in the capital, and his defire to affift ia correcting it, were fuch as led him, a short time before his death, to exprefs a with to be allowed to deliver, in the Royal Inftitution, fome lectures on the subject of architecture. This good man, for a long time, employed much of his attention in collecting facts, and arranging them, for a Continuation of Wal pole's Anecdotes of eminent Painters, and his peculiarly difcerning and accurate faculty of mind in a high degree rendered him fit for the undertaking. This work, abounding with attracting and valuable information, is far proceeded with in the prefs, and will thortly be given to the world, as, the author lived to revife nearly all the fheets, and has left well-arranged materials for the completion of the whole of his defign. Mr.-E. had a refimed ear for mufic; poffeffed confiderable knowledge of that science; and was an excellent performer on the violin. Nor was he deficient in poetical compofition, although he feldom bent himfelf to fuch exercifes. It may truly be faid, that his judgment in all works of art was fo cultivated, as to be generally critically juft. His tender conftitution, however, demanded conftant attention from fome friendly perfon; and this he experi enced unremittingly all his days from an only, furviving fifter. M. E., having been indifpofed about a fortnight, died, rather fudden. ly, on the 10th of December, without a figh. From the report of the furgeons who made the examination nothing extraordinary ap peared, except about three or four ounces of water in the pericardium. Mr. E. lived a pattern of integrity, honour and piety; and his memory will be refpected by the lovers of truth, talent, and virtue. He was attended to his grave, in St. Pancras church-yard, by B. Weft, efq. prefident, J. Farrington and J, Noliekens, efqrs. academicians, Mr. Baker, Mr. Edridge, Mr. Hearne, Mr. Millbourne, jun. Mr. Sotheby, jun. and Sir William Bli zard. Mr. E. left little or no property. This circumftance was immediately confider ed and liberally decided upon by the Prefi dent and Council of the Royal Academy, in a manner equally honourable to themfelves and to the memory of their teacher.

NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM.

THE laft annual report of the Durham bluecoat charity school, places in a moft pleafing point of view, the benevolent exertions of the governors and visitors, the ability and attention of the teachers, the docility and regularity of the fcholars, and the urgent de fire which parents manifeft to have their offfpring admitted to the benefits of this inftitution. An excellent fyftem of education and industry has been recently introduced, and has already been productive of the most beneficial effects. Though the funds are in a ftate of unprecedented profperity, they are very inadequate to the number of applications; and twenty fupernumerary fcholars have been admitted for education only, till increating means or regular vacancies open to them the benefits of cloathing. Several boys have been ap pointed monitors, and fuperintend the lower claffes. Six of the girls have been appointed affiftants, and, having difcharged their duty with diligence and propriety, three of them have been placed out in creditable and advantageous fituations of fervice, after having been liberally furnished with every neceffary, under the direction of the ladies of the Commit tee. Should meritorious objects arife in the fchool, the like rewards will be bestowed yearly.

Among the many noble and useful improvements which are now carrying into effect by the magistrates of Newcastle, for the fecurity and comfort of its inhabitants, there is none which is more worthy of being recorded, than their benevolent views to better the condition of the poor belonging to the different hofpitals under the patronage of the Corporation. In addition to the general repairs which the buildings are at prefent undergoing, by an act of Common Council, a generous addition has been made to their allowance.

The conduct of a large manufactory engaged the greatest part of his time, in which he evinced an induftry the most perfevering; an integrity the moft spotless; a fweetness of foul which nei-" ther the blafts of difappointment, nor the ftings of ingratitude, could ever ruffle, and an active principle of benevolence and charity, flowing in fecret streams to the diftreffed, that might justly entitle him to the game of Father rather than Master of his numerous dependants. The tender ties of husband, parent and brother, did not more bind him to the hearts of his relatives, than the gentlenefs of his manners and the intelligence of his mind. His powers of converfation, his various knowledge, his lively wit and his pleafant humour, endeared him to all who approached him, and gave an uncommon attraction to his fociety. To the circle in which he moved his lofs is irreparable. The lamentations of his equals, and the tears of the poor, alike bedewed his grave. His rare virtues, recorded

LANCASHIRE.

A fplendid naval monument to the memory of the late Lord Nelfon, is about to be erected at Liverpool, by public fubfcription. It is to be executed by Mr. George Bullock, fculptor,' of that place, for 80001. in artificial fione, (a compofition of different vitrified fubftances,) which unites the beauty of marble with the durability of bronze. Mr. Bullock has published the following defcription of the model, which has been approved of by the committee: In the ftatue of Lord Nelfon, I have endeavoured to exprefs that calm and dignified composure for which he was fo pre-eminently diftinguished in the hour of danger ;-his effigy is, therefore, plain and fimple, placed in a firm and decided attitude; the union flag and anchor are introduced as the diftinguishing marks of his protefional rank, at the fame sime pointing our the means by which his

fame and glory were obtained. The pedestal on which the hero ftands, is encircled with a double coil of British cable refting on the plinth, and enriched by the reprefentation of his four principal engagements, viz. St. Vincent, the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar; four figures of Victory, whofe hands are united by crowns of laurel, fufpended over each battle, are the supporters of this column, representing an unbroken chain of fplendid victories. The cornice of the column is compofed of leaves of Britifh oak. On the fubplinth are feated four nautical figures, emblematical of the four great battles fought; the figures do not convey any idea of captivity more than is abfolutely neceflary to fhew defeat: the body of the fub-plinth is enriched with the heads of the four fhips in which these brilliant exploits were atchieved, at once perpetuating the glory of the British navy, and the lips by which his glory was, confirmed. The heads of the men of war are to be FAC SIMILES of the refpective ships as in action, conveying to pofterity the indentity of the individual veffels which contributed to Ax its fame on an immutable base. The whole is erected on a mural base, guarded by four lions couchant, emblematical of the indigenous and naval valuur of Great Britain, forming the grand bulwark to the whole, and intimating, that courage is the fureft guide to naval glory. On the projecting fides of the mural bafe, in raised bronze letters, appears a defcription of each battle, and of every ship engaged, together with that of its opponent, and on the front the fum total of the veffels taken and deftroyed, by which each captain's name becomes enrolled with that of his hip, and is handed down to future ages, together with his beloved and lamented chief. This monument, the grateful effufion of liberality to British valour and departed excellente, rifes from an encircled quadrangle, containing 1500 feet of water, to be fupplied with the pipes already fixed, and which can easily be brought to feed the refervoir, appearing to iffue from four heads placed in the intermediate spaces of the mural bafe, representing the four great and principal rivers of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as contributing to commerce, and promoting that naval exertion, the cultivation of which has fo firmly cemented the maritime intereft and power of this proud and happy ifland. The circle is encompassed by a correct imitation of boarding-nets, illuminated by fhips' lanthorns, the whole forming an enriched naval pillar, of an order almost new, ftrictly con forming to the rules of Corinthian architec ture in all its dimenfions, and poffeffing the peculiar recommendation of being indebted to no foreign or adventitious ornament for is fupport: no heathen mythology is here introduced, nor any foreign attribute; as it has been my principal ambition to erect fuch a nautical monument with British materials, as shall at once tell the hiftory of that hero, whom Bri
