Cafpian trade: But having a defire to fee his native country, he left St Petersburgh on the 9th of July 1750. On his arrival in London he employed himfelf fome time as a merchant; but afterwards, more beneficially to the world, as an author. In 1753, he published "An Hiftorical Account of the British Trade over the Cafpian Sea; with a Journal of Travels from London through Ruffia into Perfia; and back again through Ruffia, Germany, and Holland: To which are added, the Revolutions of Perfia during the prefent Century, with the particular Hiftory of the great Ufurper Nadir Kouli 4 vols 4to. In 1754, he published "A letter to Mr John Spranger, on his excellent Propofal for Paving, Cleanfing, and Lightin the Streets of Westminster, &c." 8vo. A few years afterwards, many of Mr Hanway's ideas, thrown out in this pamphlet, were adopted. In 1756, he printed " A journal of Eight Days Journey from Portsmouth to Kingston upon Thames, with an Effay on Tea;" which was reprinted in 2 vols 8vo, in 1757. At this juncture, Great Britain being on the eve of a war with France, he published "Thoughts on the Duty of a good Citizen with Regard to War and Invafion, in a Letter from a Citizen to his Friend," 8vo. About the fame time, feveral gentlemen formed a plan, which was matured and perfected by Mr Hanway, for providing the navy with failors, by furnishing poor children with neceffaries to equip them for the service of their country. Mr Hanway published 3 pamphlets on this fubject, and the treasurer of the fociety, accompanied by Mr Hanway, having waited on the king, the fociety received 1000 l. from his majesty, 400l. from the Prince of Wales, and zool. from the Princefs Dowager. This excellent inftitution was the favourite object of Mr Hanway's care, and continued to flourish under his aufpices. In 1758, he became an advocate for HAN-TCHEOÙ, a town of Corea.

His father, Mr Thomas Hanway, was an officer in the naval fervice. He loft his life by an accident; and left a widow with four children, Jonas, William, Thomas, and Elizabeth, all very young. Mrs Hanway, coming to Lon don after the death of her husband, put Jonas to fchool, where he learned writing and accounts, and made fome proficiency in Latin. At the age of 17 he was fent to Lisbon, and was bound apprentice to a merchant in that city, in June 1729. His early life was marked with that at tention to business, and love of neatness and regularity, which afterwards diftinguished his character. On the expiration of this apprenticeship, he the 12mo. the Magdalen Charity, and published "A Letter to Robert Dingley, Efq. being a proposal for the Relief and Employment of friendless Girls and repenting Prostitutes," 4to. He also printed fome other tracts on the fame fubject. In 1759, he wrote "Reasons for an Augmentation of at least Twelve Thousand Mariners, to be employed in the Merchants Service and Coafting Trade, in 33 Letters to Charles Gray, Efq. of Colchester, 4to." In 1760, he published several treatifes; viz. 1. "A candid hiftorical Account of the Hofpital for the Reception of expofed and deferted young Children; reprefenting the prefent Plan of it as productive of many Evils, and not adapted to the Genius and Happiness of this Nation," 8vo; which being antwered by an anonymous Letter from Halifax in “Candid Remarks, " 8vo, 1760, Mr Hanway replied to it, and the remarker rejoined. 2. "An Account of the Society for the Encouragement of the British Troops in Germany and North America, &c." 8vo. 3. "Eight Letters to Duke of, on the Custom of Vails-giving in England," 8vo. See VAIL. In 1761, Mr Hanway produced "Reflections, Effays, and Meditations on Life and Religion; with a Collection of Proverbs, and 28 Letters written occafionally on feveral Subjects," in 2 vols 8vo. The many useful and public-spirited plans, which Mr Hanway had promoted, had now rendered his character moft refpectably popular; while his difinterestedness, and the fincerity of his intentions, were confpicuous to all. Five citizens of London, of whom the late Mr Hoare the banker was one, waited on Lord Bute, then prime minifter; and requested that fome notice might be taken of a man who, at the expense of his own private fortune, and by the most unremitting application, had rendered fuch meritorious fervices to his country. Accordingly he was, in July 1762, appointed one of the commiffioners for victualling the navy; a poft which he held above 21 years. The next act of public beneficence, in which he engaged, was the collection of money for the fufferers by the fire at Montreal, in Quebec, in May, 1765, when a 4th part of the city was confumed. On this occation Mr Hanway, in conjunction with two other gentlemen, collected 84151. In 1766, a dreadful fire broke out in Bridge-Town in Barbadoes, which confumed property to the amount of near 100,000l. A fubfcription was opened, in which Mr Hanway was a principal actor, and 14,886 1. were collected, and tranfmitted to the unfortunate fufferers. At fubfequent periods he continued to intereft himself in various other - plans for relieving the diftreffes of different claffes of the community, and particularly thofe of young chimney-sweepers. Befides thofe difftreffes which are open to general observation, fuch as a contortion of their limbs, and prevention of their growth, they are liable to a peculiar disease, called the chimney faweeper's cancer. After much enquiry, he published, in 1773, "The State of the Chimney-fweepers Young Apprentices; thowing the wretched Condition of thefe diftreffed Boys; the ill Conduct of fuch Mafters as do not obferve the Obligation of Indentures; the Neceflity of a ftrict Inquiry to fupport the civil and religious Rights of thefe apprentices," VOL. XI. PART I. This fmall pamphlet was productive of advantage to the objects intended to be benefited by it. In 1774, he enlarged a former publication, entitled "Advice from a Farmer to his Daughter, &c." and republifhed it under the title of "Virtue in humble Life: containing reflections on the reciprocal Duties of the Wealthy and Indigent, the Mafter and the Servant," 2 vols 8vo; a work deferving the particular attention of every magif. trate. He reprinted it in 24to vols, with a dedication to Mrs Montague. In 1783, finding his health decline, he refigned his office at the victualling board, and immediately received a grant of his whole falary, by way of a penfion for life. This favour he owed to the esteem which his majesty, to whom he was perfonally known, entertained of him. Being now released from his moft material bufinefs, he engaged again in behalf of the chimney-fweepers boys; and promoted, by every means in his power, the establishment of Sunday fchools, fince very generally adopted. He likewife promoted a fubfcription for the relief of the many black poor people who wandered about the metropolis in extreme diftrefs; and the lords of the treasury seconded the defign, by directing 14 1. a head, to be iffued to the committee, to enable them to fend the blacks to such places abroad as might be fixed on. After encountering many obftacles, about 300 negroes were fent, properly accommodated with neceffaries, to Africa, under the conduct of a perfon approved for that ftation. In fummer 1786, Mr Hanway's health declined vifibly. He had long felt the approach of a diforder in the bladder, which, increafing by degrees, caufed a ftrangury; and at length, on the 5th Sept. 1786, put a period to a life spent almost entirely in the fervice of his fellow creatures. On the 13th he was interred in the family vault at Hanwell, where a fuperb monument is erected to his me mory. Mr Hanway was of the middle fize, of a thin fpare habit, but well shaped: his limbs were fashioned with the niceft fymmetry. When he went first to Ruffia at the age of 30, he was called the Handfome Englifbman. In his dress, as far as was confiftent with his health, he accommodated himself to the prevailing fashion; but being very fufceptible of cold, he wore flannel under the linings of all his clothes, and usually 3 pairs of stockings. He was the firft man in Britain who carried an umbrella over his head. After carrying one near 30 years, he faw them come into general use. The precarious ftate of his health, when he arrived in England from Ruffia, made him use the utmost caution. After Dr Lieberkyn, physician to the king of Pruffia, had recommended milk as a proper diet to restore his ftrength, he made it the chief part of his food for 30 years. His mind was active; always. on the wing, but never appearing to be weary. He rofe in fummer at 4 or 5, and winter at 7. He was conftantly employed till the time of retiring to reft; and, when in health, was commonly afleep within two minutes after lying down in bed. Writing was his favourite employment; and when the number of his literary works is confidered, and that they were the produce only of thofe hours which he was able to fnatch from public bufinefs, fome idea may be formed of his application. His ftyle is plain and unornamented, J without without the appearance of art or the affectation of fingularity. Its greatest defect is a want of concifenefs; its greatest beauty, an unaffected fimplicity. He spoke French and Portuguese, and underftood the Rufs and modern Perfic imperfectly. Latin he had been taught at school, but had not much occafion to cultivate it. Mr Hanway having early in life met with a refusal from a young lady in Lisbon, who had captivated his affections, was never married; yet he was an advocate for marriage, and recommended it to all young people. He thought it the most effectual restraint on licentiousness, and that an increase of unhappiness was by no means the natural confequence of an increase of domestic cares. The fociety of a fenfible woman, the choice of unbiassed affection, he efteemed the most engaging perfuafive to virtue, order, and economy; without which life must be perturbed and unhappy. The lady who engaged his first affection was uncommonly handsome; and it is probable he was prevented from marrying only by his unalterable attachment to her; for he loved the fociety of women, and in the parties which vifited at his houfe the ladies ufually made the greater portion of the company. In his tranfactions be was always open, candid, and fincere. He adhered to ftrict truth, even in the manner of his relation; and no brilliancy of thought could induce him to vary from the fact: but although fo frank in his own proceedings, he had feen too much of life to be easily deceived by others. In his department of commiffioner for victualling the navy he was uncommonly affiduous, and from those who had dealings with the office, he would not accept of the smallest prefent. When any were fent him, he always returned them, with fome mild answer; fuch as, " Mr Hanway returns many thanks to Mr for the prefent he intended him; but he has made it a rule not to accept any thing from any perfon engaged with the office: A rule which, whilft he acknowledges Mr -'s good intentions, he hopes he will not expect him to break through." Mr Hanway's publications amounted altogether to between 60 and 70. A lift of them is given by his biographer Mr Pugh. HANWAY'S POINT, a cape on Egmont ifland.

Some beauties yet no precepts can declare; And finish'd more through happiness than pains. (2.) HAPPINESS, or FELICITY, abfolutely taken, denotes the durable poffeffion of good without any mixture of evil, or the enjoyment of pure pleasure unalloyed with pain; or a ftate in which all the wishes are fatisfied; in which fenfes, Happinefs is known only by name upon the earth. The word happy, when applied to any state or condition of human life, will admit of no pofitive definition, but is merely a relative term: that is, when we call a man happy, we only mean that he is happier than fome others with whom we compare him; than the generality of others; or than he himfelf was in fome other fituation. This interefting fubject has been treated by many eminent writers, but by none has it been fet in a clearer point of view than by Archdeacon Paley, in the fixth chap. of his Principles of Philosophy." In strictnefs (fays that elegant writer), any condition may be denominated happy in which the amount or aggregate of pleasure exceeds that of pain; and the degree of happiness depends upon the quantity of this excefs. And the greateft quantity of it, ordinarily attainable in human life, is what we mean by happiness, when we inquire or pronounce what human happiness confifts in." In the profecution of this fubject, Mr Paley fhows, Ift, That happinefs does not confift in the pleasures of fenfe, in whatever profufion or variety they be enjoyed: 2dly, That it does not confift in an exemption from pain, labour, care, bufinefs fufpenfe, moleftation, and " thofe evils which are without;" fuch a state being usually attended not with eafe, but with depreffion of fpirits, a tafteleffnefs in all our ideas, imaginary anxieties, and the whole train of hypochondriacal affections: And, 3dly, That it does not confist in greatness, rank, or elevated ftation. He next proceeds to fhow, that happiness does confift, 1. In the exercife of the focial affections: 2. In the exercife of our faculties, either of body or mind, in the pur fuit of fome engaging end: 3. In fetting the habits in fuch a manner, that every change may be a change for the better: and 4. In health, which he defines" not only freedom from bodily distempers, but also that tranquillity, firmness, and alacrity of mind, which we call good fpirits. When we are in perfect health and ipirits, we feel in ourselves a happinefs independent of any outward gratification whatever, and of which we can give no account. This is an enjoyment which the Deity has annexed to life; and probably conftitutes, in a great measure, the happinefs of infants and brutes, especially of the lower and fedentary orders of animals, as of oysters, periwinkles, and the like." After illuftrating thefe various fources of human happiness, Mr Paley draws two conclufions; viz. 1, "That happiness is pretty equally diftributed amongst the different orders of civi I a fociety, Truth and peace and love fhall ever fhine About the fupreme throne Of him, t' whofe happy making fight alone, Our heav'nly guided foul fhall climb. Milton. -Though the prefence of imaginary good cannot make us happy, the absence of it may make us miferable. Addison. 2.
