Mr. URBAN,

Cambridge, March 9.

Prefume on your indulgence to transmit to you fome account of the character of the late Dr. Robert Glynn Clobery, fellow of King's college in this univerfity, and of the Royal College of Phyficians. He was born Aug. 5, 1719, at Kelland, near Bədmin, in Cornwall, of an antient and respectable family, and educated at Eton on the foundation; was admitted scholar of King's college, on the marriage of the late provoft, Dr. Sumner, father of the prefent provoft, in 1737; B. A. 1741; M. A. 1745; M. D. 1758; and fellow of the College of Phyficians 1763. He first practifed phyfick at Richmond, and after. wards at Cambridge, where he continued till his death, Feb. 8, 1800. Dr. Glynn changed his name to Clobery in purfeance of the will of a relation, who bequeathed to him fome property; but he was ufually addreffed and known by his paternal name, His life was one uniform course of integrity and benevolence. The author of the "Purfuits, of Literature," who seems to have been intimately acquainted with his merits, has diftinguished him by that "affectionate verfe," by which he withes this great and good character may be known to all poster.ty, [to name?) "While Granta hails (what need the fage The lov'd Lapis on the banks of Cam*." Never was a Ime more fimply expreffize of that heart-felt reverence which was uni verfally due to this "difinterefted, vinoous, and confummate, scholar and phyfician. Though, for a long feries of years, his practice was very extenfive, and his establishment confined within the walls of a college, on a plan of moft temperate and friet economy, his effects fcardely exceeded 10,000l. including the bequeft of his relation. In what manner he applied the principal part of his profeffional emolu ments is known to those who were fap ported or aflisted by his beneficence. It was happy for thofe around him, that it pleafed Providence to extend his life to a very advanced period. His facultes were clear and vigorous within a very short time of his deceate. During his illness, fenfibla of his gradual decay, he expreffed nothing but refignation and kindness, and expired

But though, vide fubfiftence for the indigent fufferer. in this inftance, it was the laudable duty. He had a largeness of mind fuperior to any of his executor to comply with his defire, indirect or fordid views, and which often yet the voice of public gratitude required betrayed him into a zeal against the opifome more eminent mark of respect to he nions and conduct of others who were less paid to fo bright and unprecedented an ex- liberal or lets firm than himself.

As he approached that hour in which he was fummoned to appear before his Eternal Judge, confcious that man, in his best fate on earth, walketh in a vain fhadow, he expreßied, with the most fervent humility, an averfion to hear from others, or to cherish in himself, any opinion of his paft fervices. A very long and very vigorous life, exhausted in the dignified duties of a moft laborious profeffion, could only fuggeft to him the utter inability of the heart to derive any fubftantial comfort from the mere retroIpect of human excellence or human efforts. He feemed, in the fpirit of Chriftian hope, to deprecate all dependence upon his own works, and to truft to the mercy of God alone for pardon, for peace, and for falvation." The writer of this article begs leave to conclude this tribute of refpect to one, whom he has long loved and revered, with the very appofite Greek quotation, infested in the Purfuits of Liteterature, p. 146, note (), 9th edit. and which he recommends as a monumental infcription over the remains of his departed friend. It is the echo of every heart that has known, and admired, and felt, the exemplary virtues of the "lov'd Iapis."

CANTABRIGIENSIS.

Dr. Glynn has bequeathed to his college goool.; to bis fervant cool; and to his executor, the Rev. Mr. Kerrich, of Magdalen college, 5ocol. He was a character of long and diftinguished celebrity in the Univerfity of Cambridge, though the printed teftimonies which the publick poffefs of his literary merit are but few. He obtained, in 1757, the Setonian prize for a poetical Esay on the Day of Judgement, which is one of the most excellent compofitions produced by that inftitution, and ranks with the fublime and beautiful productions of Chriftopher Smart on the fame occafion. This etlay was printed at the Univerfity

prefs, and afterwards in an oche his tion of thefe prize poems. Dr.G. inrented himfelf much in the Chattertonian bufnefs, and is faid to have been fome time confined with a violent cold caught in vi fiting the depofitary of the Rowleian MSS. and to have contributed much information and affiftance to Mr. Mathias in his learned and comprehenfive effy on that fubject.A portrait of him, by Mr. Kerrich, was engraved by Facius in 1783.

Vol. LXIX. p. 994. Captain Lancelot Skynner, late commander of his Majesty's frigate La Lutine, was the eldest son of a clergyman now living, who is equally known for his learning and piety; and was nephew to an officer of the fame name, who fell, in the fervice of his coun try, towards the clofe of the war of 1755, when commanding the Bideford frigate, in an engagement, off the coaft of Portugal, with a French fhip of far fuperior force, The particulars of this action are recorded in the Annual Register for the year 1760, and are worthy of being adverted to *, as they exhibit an inftance of heroifm striking as any to be found in the annals of naval valour. Capt. Skynner, the fubject of this sketch, entered, early in life, into the fea-fervice, and had the good fortune to be patronized by officers the best quali fied to form the feaman and the man of honour. In the year 1790 he was appoint ed lieutenant of the Cygnet loop, then ferving in the West Indies. On the com mencement of hoftilities his zeal prompted him to feek for active fervice. In Novem ber, 1794, he was appointed by Sir John Jervis, whofe title of Earl St. Vincent ferves the double purpofe of rewarding chievements, to the command of the Exhis fervices and recording his glorious at periment, on the Leeward Inand fatice Admiral Caldwell, who fucceeded Earl St. Vincent in the chief command in that quarter, removed Capt. Skynner into the Zebra floop early in the following year. In the month of March in that year, the Zebra was ordered to the protection of the inland of St. Vincent, which was that time in the most imminent d'anger, from the fuccessful irruption of the Charaibs. On his arrival off that ifland, Capt. Skynner found the enemy in poffeffion of the strong poft on Dorfetfhire hill, which was almoft within gun-fhot of the princ pal town. He obferved the peril to which the inhabitants were expofed, and that they could only be preserved by regaining the poft in question. The pofition of the
