the Welsh judges. If it had been his with he might, without doubt, have attained the English ermine; but, poffeffed of an ample income, having a ftrong bias to antiquarian knowledge, natural history, and its concomitant ftudies, he retired from the practice of the law, and applied his legal knowledge to the purposes of inveftigating curious questions of legal antiquity. They have been published in a quarto volume. His enquiries into ornithology and various phænomena of Nature are well known; and his converfation on thofe fubjects will not be forgotten by any one who has been admitted to reap the benefits of it. He was an old and moft refpectable fellow of the Royal Society, and a very ingenious contributor to the annual volume of its Tranfactions. He was alfo among those who, at a formed period, frequented Tom's coffee-house near the Temple, where, during the early part of the evening, the literature and the theatrical history of the day were agreeably discuffed by men who were capable of deeper difcuffions; and where, in his early years, the writer of this article has frequently liftened with pleafure and improvement to their converfation. But Tom's coffeehouse is no more; and Mr. Barrington, perhaps, was the furvivor of those who formed that ple fint fociety. He had for a great number of years occupied the chambers in the King's Bench walks, in the Ioner Temple, where he died. His fatter companions were principally the benchers of that fociety, of which he was one; and the little exercife which he had for fome time been able to take was in the Temple gardens, whofe arrangement he was pleased to fuperintend, and where he appeared to find an oecafional amufement in obferving the growth of the few trees and flowers which adorn them. Thus he paised a stadious, inoffenfive, and long-extended life, and was attended to his grave in the Temple tharch by the principal members of that fociety, with that respect which his life deferved, and that regret which the remembrance of him cannot fail to infpire." 17. At Eton college, the Rev. John Norbury, D D. fellow of Eton college, and rector of Maple-De hem, co. Oxford. He was educated on the foundation at Elon; obtained in due time his call to King's college, Cambridge; where he proceeded B A. 1746; M. A. 1750; ST. P. 1784; and obtained his fellowship, as ufual, after three years refidence at King's. He afterwards accepted the place [annoys, In dismal dance about the mournful yew.” It was, perhaps, an indifcretion in a man of the Doctor's age to aim at fuch petty laurels; but can by no means justify the unfeeling manner in which he was thus held up to public ridicule and contempt. To the would it could be of no confequence; and (as is fomewhere obferved) to Eton it was rather beneficial than otherwife, holding forth to the youthful train a praife-worthy example of elegant claffical amufement. It is related of the Doctor, that, when a fcholar at Eton, the subject of the Extempore being the great crime of breaking any of the Commandments, he fhewed up to the mafter his four Ines as ufual; the three first lines in reprobation, &c. of offending against the Ten Commandments, and the fourth concluded thus-Quid de Mofe pares? Fregerat ille decem. On the whole, we without befitation affert, that Dr. Norbury, although degraded by too great fondness for money, was a refpectable member of fociety, refpectable as a man of considerable learning, refpectable as a cle gyman, and refpectable as a found Chriftian.
