On Thurfday morning, the 14th, in the 16th year of his age, William James Mavor, eldest fon of Dr. MAVOR, of Woodstock. The complaint, which brought on his untimely diffolution, was a confumption, arifing from a neglected cold; and when his fituation was difcovered by his affected father, no expedient known, or reforted to, in fuch cafes, under the best medical advice, was found availing to restore him. The elegance of his form, and the fweetness and regularity of his features, though univerfally allowed, were but a faint index of his lovely and well-regu lated mind. After a domeftic education, in which a difpofition the most amiable, and taInts the most promifing, were cultivated with a fond affiduity, he was entered on the foundation of the Charter Houfe, on the nomination of the Duke of Marlborough. His judgment was mature beyond his years, and his feveral acquirements in literature fuch as warranted an abundant future harveft. But death has clofed thofe profpects once fo fair; and his difconfolate father, who has loft in him the friend of his leifure, and the companion of his ftudies, can only cherish the remembrance of his worth, and indulge the foothing hope of rejoining him in a better world. His tafte in every branch of natural hiftory was correct, and his researches confiderable. To him his father dedicated a volume lately published* ; and during his lingering illness, he fuggefted the plan of a Botanical Pocket-book, now in the prefs, whofe utility to ftudents in that enchanting science
