The charities of Mr. Browne were very extensive, and his piety of the most exemplary description. In 1768 he published an elegant edition of his father's poems, with a finely engraved portrait by Ravenet; and in 1789 he printed, though without his name, an excellent tract, entituled" Private Worth the Basis of Pub ISAAC HAWKINS BROWNE, ESQ.

After residing there some years he returned to England, and became so zealous an advocate of vaccination as to gain the esteem of the discoverer, by whose interest he was appointed physician to the Small-pox Hospital on the death of Dr. Woodville. He was now admitted a licentiate of the London College, and endeavoured to force his way into notice by several publications, particularly as the editor and joint proprie tor of the Medical and Physical Journal. Notwithstanding these exertions, however, and his appointment to the Central Dispensary, the Doctor's practice was very contracted, and latterly he became embroiled in a Chancery suit with his partners in the Journal. His death was occasioned by accidentally breaking his leg in a walk at Holloway. He published-1. Observations on Morbid Poisons, 8vo, 1795: second edition, 4to. 1806. 2.

He was the son of Sir Francis Bernard, governor of the Massachusetts at the time when the disturbances arose there respecting the stamp act; and for his conduct on which occasion he was created a baronet in 1769. The late baronet was brought up to the bar, which he did not follow, having a good fortune by his marriage to the daughter of Patrick Adair, esq. in 1782. He was many years treasurer to the Foundling Hospital, the estate of which was considerably improved under his management. On the death of his brother, Sir John, without issue, he succeeded to the title in 1810, and dying himself without any progeny, the honour goes to the youngest brother, Sir Scrope Bernard Morland, the banker in Pall Mall, who changes his name on his marriage. Sir Thomas was a most active philanthropist, and connected with most of the bene 1818.] Harvey Christian Combe-Matthew Gregory Lewis, Esqr. 81 volent institutions in the metropolis. The Society for Bettering the Condition of the Poor originated solely with him, and he continued to the last to superintend the publication of its reports in which many valuable papers from his pen will be found. He pub hshed separately: 1. Observations on the proceedings of the Friends of the Liberty of the Press 80. 1793. 2. Letter to the Bishop of Durham on the measures under the consideration of parliament for promoting industry and the relief of the poor, 8vo. 1807. 3.

Sir Thomas Bernard was nearly related to the Bishop of Durham, who gave him the Chance lorship of his diocese, and committed the management of most of his private concerns to his hands. It was on the occasion of the appointment just mentioned that he was created doctor of civil law by the University of Oxford. HARVEY CHRISTIAN COMBE, ESQ. At his seat, Cobham Park, Surrey, in his 67th year, after a very long and severe illness, Harvey Christian Combe, esq. He was born in 1732-3 at Andover, being the eldest son of a respectable solicitor of that town, who besides an extensive practice possessed a landed estate of five hundred a-year. While two younger brothers chose the army, in which both obtained companies, and one a grave; the eldest after receiving good education, repaired to the metropolis with a view to merchandize. Here he became an inmate in the family of his reJation Mr. Boyce Trees, an eminent cornfactor, whose daughter he married, and to whose business he succeeded. After some time spent in this trade, Mr. Combe was induced to embark with two near friends in a brewery, which in the course of a few years became the fifth if not the fourth house in London. The popular manners of Mr. Combe and perhaps his political connexions, recommended him to a situation in the Corporation, to which he was introduced by the late Alderman Sawbridge. In the year 1790 he offered himself as a candidate for the City, but was unsuccessful; and again in 1795, on the death of Alderman Sawbridge. At the general election in 1796, however, he was more fortunate; and in 1800 he served the office of Lord Mayor with great credit. He continued to be re-elected in every parliament following, and to enjoy the favour of his brother citizens till last year, when in consequence only of his severe illness, the same party by whom he had been uniformly supported, compelled him by their resolu NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No. 55. tions the Common Hall, to a resignation Such is popular gratitude, and the dura bility of political attachments. At the period of alarm when the country exhibited a noble spirit of p triotism in the assembled ranks of volunteers for the general defence, Mr. Combe was one of the first to offer his services to government. He was chosen Captain Commandant of the Aldgate Association, and he was ultimately Lieutenant Colonel of a Battalion. The principles of the Alderman were in unison with those of Mr. Fox, and in private life his character was very estimable. MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS, ESQ. On his passage home from Jamaica, Matthew Gregory Lewis, esq. He was born in 1773, at which time his father was Deputy Secretary in the War Department, an office held by him many years, till from infirmity he was induced to resign on a pension. The son received his education at Westminster school; after which he went abroad, and studied at one of the German Universities with a view to the perfecting himself in that language for public business. Instead of this he applied to reading the romance writers and dramatists, by which means he imbibed that taste for the marvellous that appears through all his performances. While abroad he composed The Monk, a romantic story, founded on the tale of Barsisa in the Guardian. This piece which appeared in 1795, in three volumes, attracted much notice, and con. siderable disgust, on account of the licentiousness of its descriptions: a prosecution was talked of, and we believe commenced, but on a pledge to recall the copies and to recast the work in another edition; legal proceedings were stopped. The year following the author was chosen into Parliament for the Borough of Hindon, but never figured as a senator; and at the next general election he retired. As a dramatic writer he was eminently successful in his musical drama of the Castle Spectre, which came out at Drury-lane in 1797. His other works are Village Virtues, a drama, 4to. 1796; The Minister, a tragedy from Schiller, 8vo. 1797; Rolla, a tragedy, 8vo. 1799; The Love of Gain, a poem, 4to. 1799; The East Indian, a comedy, 8vo. 1800; Adelmorn or the Outlaw, a drama, 8vo. 1801; Alfonzo, a tradegy, 8vo. 1801; Tales of Winter, 2 vols. 8vo. 1801; The Bravo of Venice, a romance, 8vo. 1804; Rugantino, a melo-drama, 8vo. 1805; Adelgitha, a play, 8vo. 1806; Feudal Tyrants, a romance, 4 vols. 12mo. 1806; Tales of Terror, 3 vols.; Romantic Tales, 4 vols. 12mo; Venoni, a drama, 8vo. 1809; Monody on Sir John Moore, 8vo.; One o'Clock or the Knight and Wood Damon, a musical romance, 8vo. 1811; Timour the Tartar, a melo-drama, 8vo, 1812; Poems, 12mo. 1812; Rich and Poor, a comic opera, 1812. On the death of his father, Mr. Lewis ་ ་ M 82 Bedford-Berks-Bucks-Cambridge-Cornwall-Cheshire. succeeded to a handsome patrimony, part of which lay in the West Indies. He resided in the Albany when in London, and lived rather in a retired manner. But the latter part of his life he spent in travelling: in his [Aug. 1, person he was small and well formed; his countenance expressive; his manners elegant; and his conversation agreeable. He was never married, but has left one daughter. PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES IN THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY. BEDFORDSHIRE.
