Portland for the tutor of all his sons. His unaffected piety, punctuality, high integrity, and inflexible adherence to his duty are as amply attested by all who acted with him, or lived under his government. He tranquilly expired at Worthing in Sussex, on the 12th of August 1827, full of years and honours, having survived her who was the wife of his youth and the partner of his age only eleven weeks*; and having lived to see his children and his grandchildren prospering in their generation.

His remains were interred on the following Saturday, August 18, in the north cloister of Westminster Abbey, near those of his revered master and friend Dr. Markham, the late Archbishop of York.

At the Anniversary Meeting of the Royal Society on the 30th of November following, the President, Mr. Davies Gilbert, in noticing the Members deceased during the preceding year, thus noticed the loss of this much lamented Prelate:

"Dr. Samuel Goodenough, late Bishop of Carlisle, has ever sustained the character of a sound and elegant scholar. Entrusted with the education of distinguished personages, and having qualified them for the first situations in the state, he fairly and honourably ascended to the summit of ecclesiastical preferment. To classical and theological learning, Dr. Goodenough added a very intimate knowledge of natural history, as is manifested by a communication to the Linnæan Society, where his labours have thrown a steady light over an extensive genus of aquatic plants, left by all former botanists in obscurity and confusion. The memory of Dr. Goodenough will long be cherished with affection and with esteem by all who had the honour of his acquaintance, either in his public or in his private life."

Except his papers in the Linnæan Society's Transactions, Dr. Goodenough's printed works were * Mrs. Goodenough died in Berners-street, May 26, 1827.

confined to three Sermons, delivered on occasions when publication is generally expected. They were, one on the Fast, preached before the House of Commons*, 1795; another before the Lords in Westminster Abbey, on the Fast-day, 1809 †; and the third, "before the Society for Promoting the Gospel in the East, and other parts, 1812."

Dr. Goodenough had three sons, all in the church. 1. The Rev. Samuel-James Goodenough, of Wadham-college, Oxford, M. A. 1797; presented by his father in 1798 to the Rectory of Broughton Pogges; in 1803 to the Vicarage of Hampton in Middlesex by the King; and in 1810 to a Prebendal Stall in the Cathedral of Carlisle.

2. The Rev. Robert-Philip Goodenough, who was brought up at Westminster, was admitted a Student at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1792, and proceeded M. A. in 1799. He arrived at the University in the time of the celebrated and never to be equalled Dean Cyril Jackson, and had for his contemporaries some of the most eminent scholars of the present day, among whom are to be numbered Mr. C. Williams Wynn, Dr. Phillimore, Lord

* "We do not recollect a discourse of this kind better adapted to the occasion, and to the audience before whom it was delivered. It breathes the genuine spirit of piety; and it is rational, patriotic, and manly. Whilst the preacher earnestly exhorts us to endeavour to avert the judgments of God, by reforming our lives, our manners, and our morals; while he would have us devoutly pray to Heaven to aid our laudable exertions in defence of the religion, the laws, and the liberties of our country; we meet with nothing of the unchristian language (too frequently heard!) of intolerance and extermination. Although an air of primitive plainness and of the evangelical piety of other times' prevails through this discourse, unaffected strokes of eloquence are occasionally interspersed." Monthly Review, N. O. vol. XVI. p. 355.

It was on one of these occasions, that the following lines were penned :

'Tis well enough that Goodenough

Before the House should preach,-
For sure-enough full bad-enough
Are those he has to teach.

Under the encouragement which Mr. G. in common with all other young men of talents and dilireceived from Dr. Jackson, he was soon disgence, tinguished as a sound and good scholar. In 1797, while a Bachelor of Arts, he gained the University prize for an English essay on "The Influence of Climate on National Manners and Character," and for some years after he had taken his degree of M.A. he officiated as one of the public tutors of the College. In this department he at once preserved the dignity of his station, and the affections of his pupils; and, like a true disciple of the Dean, never forgot that, if they were to be scholars while at Christ Church, they were to be gentlemen through life *.

In 1805 he was presented by his father's old friend, Archbishop Markham, to the Prebend of Fenton in the Cathedral of York; and in 1806, by the same patron, to the Vicarage of Carlton in Lindrick, Nottinghamshire, and to the Prebend of Halloughton, in the collegiate Church of Southwell. On the

* In a letter of Barrè Charles Roberts (one of Mr. Goodenough's pupils) to his father Edward Roberts, Esq. of Ealing, March 4, 1906, is the following affectionate passage: "I am made very melancholy about my tutor; he told me to-day of his having the offer of a living, and his accepting it. I am most excessively sorry for it, on many general accounts; but, considering him as the tutor and friend he is to me, it is an irrepable loss, by far the most unfortunate circumstance that could have happened for me here. The greatest pleasure I have, is in receiving his instruction, and being with him. This can be the case with no other man. I shall find in my next tutor, perhaps, as good a scholar and as good a man, but the best qualities of all other tutors united, cannot form what he was to me, nothing but friendship continued from the earliest date can form such an one. I looked forward with pleasure to the time, when taking my degree would lessen the distance he is obliged to preserve, and would allow me more of his company. That academic distance will be removed, but for no advantage to me, as by chance alone we shall meet."

6th of December 1808 (after his Grace's decease) he married the Archbishop's fifth daughter, Cecilia *. In 1811 he was presented by his father to a Prebendal Stall in the Church of Carlisle; in 1819 by Southwell-college to the Rectory of Beasby in Lincolnshire; and in 18... to a Prebend of Ripon. He was also one of his father's Chaplains. Mr. Goodenough resided principally on his living of Carlton, and left behind him the character of an excellent parish priest (the most valuable member of society which can exist), of an affectionate husband, a good father, a dutiful son, and a faithful friend. He had long laboured under a mesentric complaint, and in 1825 received much benefit from the advice of London Physicians while resident at Caen Wood, the seat of his brother-in-law, the Earl of Mansfield. But his constitution was entirely worn out, and he sunk at last in the prime of life, after a few days illness, April 20, 1826, in the 51st year of his age.

Mr. Goodenough left a numerous family; one of

* Archbishop Markham had seven daughters: 1. HenriettaSarah, married by Archbishop Moore at Lambeth Palace, June 28, 1784, to Ewan Law, Esq. son of the Bishop of Carlisle, and brother to the late Lord Ellenborough and the present Bishop of Bath and Wells; 2. Elizabeth-Catharine, married April 13, 1793, to William Barnett, Esq. of York, son of the Rev. William Barnett, of Jamaica; 3. Alicia, married Nov. 27, 1794, to the Rev. Henry-Forster Mills †; 4. Frederica, married Sept. 1, 1797, to William third and present Earl of Mansfield; 5. Cecilia, married Dec. 6, 1808, to Mr. Goodenough, as above stated; 6. Anne-Catherine, who died unmarried at Roehampton, Oct. 3, 1808; and the seventh was married August 20, 1815, to Major-General Sir Rufane Shaw Donkin, K. C. B. This statement will correct some errors in the Gentleman's Magazine, vol. XCII. ii. 374; where it is believed the sons of the Archbishop are rightly stated. A memoir of George, the Dean of York, is there given; and one of the Admiral was published in the Magazine for April 1827, vol. XCVII. i. p. 363.

The Rev. Henry-Forster Mills was of Trinity-college, Cambridge, B.A. 1790, M. A. 1793. In 1802 his father-in-law, the Archbishop, presented him to the Chancellorship of York Cathedral; and in the following year to the Rectory of Gawsworth in Cheshire. In 1804 he was presented by the Hon. R. Lumley Savile to the Rectory of Emley in Yorkshire; and he died at Bath, April 27, 1827, aged 58.

whom, shortly before his father's death, was elected from Westminster-school a Student of Christ Church.

3. Rev. Edmund Goodenough was of Christ Church, Oxford, M. A. 1807; D. D. 181..; and was Proctor of the University in 1816. He was elected Master of Westminster-school in 1819, and resigned in 1828. He succeeded his brother Robert as Prebendary of Carlisle in 1826; and was elected on the Council of the Royal Society in 1828. He married May 31, 1821, Frances *, daughter of Samuel Pepys Cockerell, Esq. of Westbourne-house, Middlesex, and first cousin to the lady of Dr. Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Goodneough has a numerous family; of whom his eldest daughter Frances died in Dean's-yard, Westminster, April 25, 1828.

Bishop Goodenough's eldest and second daughters were both married at Ealing, on one day, May 25, 1797. The eldest was united to her first cousin, the Rev. William Goodenough. He was of Christ Church-college, Oxford, M. A. 1797. He suc

ceeded his uncle and father-in-law in his school at Ealing; and was, in 1811, presented by him to the Rectory of Mareham-le-Fen in Lincolnshire in 1818, and to the Archdeaconry of Carlisle before 1826. An infant son of this gentleman died at Ealing, April 22, 1804; and his eldest daughter, Mary-Anne, in Curzon-street, London, April 3, 1823.

*These ladies are descended from a sister of the celebrated Samuel Pepys, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty.

+ Barrè Chas. Roberts, Esq." was in June 1799 placed under the care of the Rev. William Goodenough at Ealing, between whose family and that of his pupil a long course of intimacy and esteem had existed. Here, as there was only a small limited number of boys to divide the attention of the master, Barrè experienced all that friendship could contribute to his comfort, and all that the abilities of scholarship could bring to the cultivation of his talents. The preceptor had leisure to discover the characters of those under his care, and to direct towards each the particular mode of treatment which might best conduce to its formation and developement."
