Fuller, efq. banker, of Lombard-ftreet, London. He was fon of W. F. who kept an academy in Founder's court, Lothbury, to which, on his death, his fon fucceeded, and having, by qualifying in writing and accounts many now eminent merchants of London, be fides many others who ferved the Eaft India Company both at home and abroad, accumulated the fum of 30,000l. he engaged in a banking-house, in which, fome fay, he had before placed his fon, who dy ing 179., left to his father a fum not lefs than 20,000l. Mr. F. if we are not mifinformed, was a native of Hertfordshire, and married a perfon of the name of Flower, by whom he had one fon, deceafed, and three daughters, one, lately decealed, married to Mr. Ellis, who was a tanner, and now holds certain mills at St. Alban's, and two furviving fingle. Mis. E. had one daughter, who has received no thare of her grandfather's immenfe wealth adequate to her profpects and education as far as he could affitt her in the latter. Mr. Fuller, who never knew what illaefs was, and divided his time between his counting-house and his horfe, being regu larly every day on the road, and having only within a year or two of his death confented to be attended by a fervant juft in fight, was fuddenly feized with fo much weakness that he, for the first time, felt himself obliged to apply to his fervant for fiance to keep him in the faddle, and, on reaching his houfe, was put into A correfpondent fays, "It is believed he was born in Berkshire, either at Abingdon or its vicinity; and that he came to London early in life."

Whatever difpofition he had made of his property, he totally changed it by a new will, made a little be fore his death, to which he appointed three executors, with a small compensation for their trouble, and by which he bequeathed his immenfe property to his two furviving daughters. Legacies to old and faithful clerks and fervants, who all fared hard enough in his fervice, or to the poor of any clafs or rank, we hear not of. Inftances of good done by him in his life are not generally met with, except the endow ment, in 1794, of fix almthoufes in Hoxton (to which a few weeks only before he died the foundation of fix others were added) for poor Diffenting females of his own per fuafion, which was rigid Calvinifm, and, to increase the incomes of poor clergy of the Establishment and Diffenting perfua fion, 10,cocl. each. Hard inveftigation may trace out partial relief in particular cafes. An adept in the fcience of acquiring money by the most penurious œcono❤ my, he is faid to have fuggefted feveral. plans of finance to Government, through the channel of the news papers and aãonymous letters, and to have approved the concentrating and equal fyftem of a tax on income. The pleasure of amaffing wealth reigned unrivaled in his foul; and, with the strictest profeffions of piety and attendance on religious ordinances, we find ourselves reduced to a painful concurrence in that axiom of our Divine Instructor, "How hardly fhall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!" and with that fentiment of his emphatic Apoftle, "Ye know that no covetous mai, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Chrift and of God. '—On March 19 his remains were deposited in Bunhill-fields burial-ground; but previous to the interment his body lay in ftate at the banking-hop in Lombard-ftreet, in his little parlour clofely adjoining to it. The idle vanity of thus expofing in itate the res mains of a man who, through the course of a life of extraordinary length, was ne ver known to allow himself the most trifling indulgence, could not escape the obfervation of the crowds who withefled the (cene. It was only by the moft fordid penurioufnefs that Mr. F. accumulated one of the largest properties in the kingdom. HIS executors are, Mr. Ebenezer Maitland (Bank directer), of King's Arms yard, Mr. Stonard, ot Savage-gardens, and Mr. Thomas Hall, of Watling treet, apothecary. The property which the late Mr. F. left behind him is calculated at 400,cool.; of which there is about 2000l a year in land. The will was in his own haud-writing, and not attefted by any witnefles. To bis his two maiden daughters he has left the whole of his immense property, with the exception of a few very trifling legacies. His old clerks, to one of whom (and who is faid to have been his ufher when he kept the academy) he had made great promifes, are equally forgotten. Another correfpondent fays, blenefs of his appearance gave additional weight and energy. He was a regular and confiftent, but by no means a bigoted, Dilfenter. Some alterations he made in his connexions with particular focieties among them of late years proved that, though he never changed his fentiments on the eifentials of religion, yet that, in points of difcipline and leffer matters, he thought for himself, and was very far from being bound by the rigid distinctions of party. In his doctrinal opinions he firmly adhered to thofe fentiments which, however they are now difowned by fome great men in the Establishment, as too closely connected with Methodifm, were certainly the opi "Mr. F. was one of the numerous inftances in which, through the happy conftitution of this country, patient, perfever ing Industry acquires a fortune and a rank in life which, in other countries, is prefumed to be derived from inheritance alone. Of the younger part of his life much cannot be known by late immediate too, nexions. He followed the profeffion of anions of the English Reformers, and the writing-mafter, inftructing many pupils at their own houfes, both before and after he was master of an academy in Lothbury, nearly oppofite Tokenhoufe-yard the fite of which is now built on by the Bank of England. In this feminary, he was part ner with a Mr. Smithers, who fireceded him. About the year 1756 he entered into the banking bufinefs, in connexion with Mr. Welch (afterwards Welch and Rogers), from whom, however, in a few years he feparated. It is remembered that Mr. F. continued his employment of teaching pupils to write, at fchools and academies, for fome years after he commenced banker. At length he devoted himself wholly to the banking concern, and, by fedulous at tention, and a high reputation for probity, without any connexion with the great, or fudden project to acquire riches, obtained wealth and independence. It must be allowed, however, that his habits, formed in early life, were rigidly parfimonions, and that, as to perfonal enjoyment, he deprived himself of many of thofe conveniences which his station in life feemed to demand. He never kept a carriage, but continued, at his advanced age, to ride on horfeback from his town to his country-house; and, by imprudently venturing to ride there after a very long walk on a cold day, the week before his deceafe (though fome of his friends preffed him to take a post-chaife), is thought to have accelerated that event. His understanding was vigorous but not highly cultivated. He was educated amongst the Diffenters; and what Johnfon playfully faid of the Scotch may, in fome measure, apply to him; it being obferved to him that every Scotchman has fome learning, "True, fir, every man has a mouthful, but no man has a belly ful." Mr. Fuller had that degree of cultivation which enabled him to conduct himfelf refpectably through life, though he hail not the depth of a Jofiah Child, or the learning and genius of a Richard Glover. On fome occafions he could exprefs himself with fluency and propriety in public; and, to what he uttered of late years, the gravity and venera bafis on which the Liturgy of the Church was formed. In his politicks Mr. F. was a firm fupporter of the Conftitution of his country against the attempts of democratic Innovation and visionary Reform. A few years fince, on occafion of a contested election in a neighbouring county, he entered very ably into the fubject of the projects then on foot for altering the Conftitution, by the focieties called Friends of the People, Conftitutional, &c. &c.; and concluded with saying to the writer of this teftimony to his character. "What would these reformers have, fir? Has not every man liberty to be as virtuous and happy as he can? What reftiains his power of doing good to others, or of promoting his own happiness?" And fince the period of the prefent war, Mr. F. had penned, under the form of a pamphlet, fome vay just ideas on the ftate of the country; in which he clearly demonftrated the necef fity Great Britain was under to take arms in defence of thofe invaluable rights and privileges, which were avowedly threatened by a power at that time triumphing in all the riot of fuccefsful rebellion, by the fubversion of every moral and religious principle. What diffinguished Mr. Fuller in the latter years of his life, however, and which it is most important to record, was his extenfive charities. He was not only a subscriber to many of the public inAitutions, particularly thofe connected with the City; but he difpofed of fome thousand pounds annually to the trufts in which he was interested, chiefly among it the Dif fenters, but not exclufively to them, for he contributed liberally to the relief of diftreffed clergy in the Etablishment. He allo built and endowed fome almíhooles for the reception of aged and necefitous women. It is not to be prefumed he was * It is a certain fact, that he in his life-time invested soccl. in the hands of trustees, to be difpofed to public charities ; of which 2001. was appropriated to the Royal Humane Society, to which he was always a steady friend. ever averfe to works of benevolence; but his great increase of fortune, of late years, enabled him to act with a public liberality which his former situation did not permit. From this circumstance fonie reproach has been thrown on him, under the pretence that he did not begin to difpofe of any part of his fortune all a period when his life had been prolonged much beyond the ufual duration of man. This objection those can answer heft who have known him at an earlier period; but instances may be produced of his private generofity which would do credit to him as a man and a Chriftian.

The excellence of her natural difpfition, and the general benevolence of her heart, will ever endear her memory in the circle of her numerous friends. She was a tender wife, an indulgent parent, and the best of friends; and bore a long and painful illness, with fortitude, calminals and refignation. 14. After a lingering illress, at his apartments in King's Benchi walks, Temple, the Hon. Daines Barrington, F. R. and A. SS. fourth fon of the first Viscount Barrington, fo well known by his "Mifcellanea Sacra," by Aune his wife, daughter and coheiress of Sir William Daines. John Vifcount Barrington of the kingdom of Ireland had iffae fix fons, viz. 1. William, his fucceffor in the peerage; 2.Francis, died young; 3. John, a major-general, who reduced Guadaloupe, and was governor of Berwick; 4. Daines, the subject of this memoir; 5. Samuel, the celebrated admiral; 6. Shute, bishop of Durham, &c. He was one of his Majefty's counfel learned in the law, and her of the Honourable Society the Inner Temple; appointed, May 24, 751mayhalf the High Court of Admisally in England, which he refigned in 1733 on being appointed fecretary for the affairs of Greenwich hofpital; was ap pointed a Wel judge on the North Wales cult, 1757 and afterwards fecond juftice of Chester, which he refigned after 1785, we believe, on a penfion, and, at his death, retained only the place of commiffary-general of the ftores at Gibraltar. Although Mr. B. claimed no bigh diftinction as a lawyer, he was univerfally allowed to be a profound and judicious antiquary. His first publication, which will always maintain its rank, and has gone through five editions, the author liberally canceling each preceding at his own expence, was "Obfervations on the Statutes, chiefly the more antient, from Magna Charta to 21 James I. c. 27; with an Appendix, being a Propofal for new-modeling the Statutes, 1766," 4to; two editions in one year (fee "Anecdotes of Mr. Bowyer," p. 369). The following year he exchanged his feverer studies for those of a lighter kind, in natural history, and published "The Naturalift's Calendar," which has alfo had more than one edition; but, 1773, wifhing to fecond the wishes of the late Mr. Elftoh to give to the world the Saxon tranflation of Orofius, afcribed to King Alfred, in one vol. 8vo, he added to it an English translation and notes, which nei ther give the meaning nor clear up the ob fcurities of the Latino or Saxon authors, and subjected the editor (who intended it chiefly for his own amufement, and that of a few antiquarian friends) to fevere animadverfions (Gent. Mag. XLVII. 337). His next publication was “Tracts on the Probability of reaching the North Fole, 1775" 4to. He was the firft propofer of the voyage to the North Pole, which was afterwards undertaken by Captain Phipps, afterwards created Ld. Mulgrave, and, on the event of it, he collected a v... riety of facts and speculations, to evince the practicability of fuch an undertaking. His papers were read at two meetings of the Royal Society, and, not being admitted into their "Philofophical Tranfictions,” were were published feparately. It must be allowed that the honourable author beftowed much time and labour on the inveftigation of the fubject, and accumulated an amazing quantity of written, traditionary, and conjectural evidence, in proof of the poffibility of circumnavigating the Pole; but, after all, when his teftimonies were examined pondere non numero, they were far from proving fo fatisfactory as might have been wished. His tracts on this fubject were republished in his "Mifcellanies on various Subjects, 1781," 4to, cenfifting of fome of his papers in the "Philofophical Tranfactions, "andother miscellaneous effays compofed or compiled by him. The first tract among thefe was "An Enquiry whe ther the Turkey was known before the Difcovery of America.
