But superior to all these faculShe could extend to him little advantage of ties of mind and these graces of body, were the education, but, being intent upon rendering undescribable excellencies---the simplicity, him capable of providing for himself, she bound him apprentice to a cabinet-maker, at the early age of eleven years. This arrangement, however, was so little to his taste, that no sooner were the seven long years elapsed, than he determined to abandon the workshop, and contemplated with infinite regret what he regarded as a total loss of a considerable and valuable portion of his early life. Within a year after this emancipation, (for such he always considered it,) he lost his mother, and with her the little means of support derived from her slender income. Thus destitute of any visible means of support, and still under twenty years of age, he turned his attention to the employment of copying music, as connected with an art of which he was passionately fond, but with which as yet he was totally unacquainted. He obtained his principal employment from a Mr. Welcher, keeper of a well known old music shop in Gerrard-street, Soho, through whom he became acquainted with a musician of the name of Barbandt, a professor of no particular skill, but from whom rapidly acquired the rudiments of music, which his own intense study and observation soon enlarged into a thorough knowledge of the art. At the expiration of his apprenticeship, he applied himself sedulously to the acquirement of Latin, and did not allow himself to be interrupted by the subsequent necessity of copying music for a subsistence, though, when fully employed, he would sit till past twelve at night, and return to it by five in the morning, for a week in succession. He followed the Latin by the study also of French, still appropriating every moment of intermission from those employments suggested by necessity, and excited by an anxious thirst for self improvement, to the ardent study of music, of which he had now determined to make him self completely master. His necessities were

the tenderness, the thorough goodness of his heart. His works are extremely numerous as well as infinitely varied----having written largely for the church; his anthems are in use in almost every cathedral in the country; he composed also two or three operas, many quartetts and instrumental lessons---numerous Songs, some of them highly distinguished as public favourites, as" the Mansion of Peace," &c. and Glees innumerable and so well known, as to require no formal eulogium. As an English composer he will always rank with Locke, Morley, Purcell, and Arne, while as a man and a scholar his transcendent qualities raise him high among the most renowned of British worthies.

At Highgate, 52, the Rev. Jeremiah Joyce, the ingenious author of many elementary works, which bear his name, and the laborious and honest compiler of others published anonymously, or under the names of other persons. He was first known to the public in consequence of the audacious attempt made by Messrs. Pitt and Dundas on the lives of several undaunted friends of Parliamentary Reform; and Mr. Joyce was specially marked for the vengeance of those unprincipled ministers, by the circumstance of his being tutor to the sons of Earl Stanhope, then a leader among the patriotic reformers. Indeed, the arrests and the subsequent state trials were said to have arisen from Mr. Joyce having written a laconic note to Mr. Tooke, about a literary work then on the eve of publication, in which he asked the question, "Shall you be ready by Wednesday." This note miscarried, and on Tuesday the arrests took place. Mr. Joyce has often been heard to declare, that he did not personally know more than six, and had never spoken of more than three or four of the twelve strangers, to each of whom a Grand Jury were induced, under the misdirection of a judge, to

i

from which he never fully recovered. Soon after, Mr. Joyce completed his popular Elements of Arithmetic, of which repeated editions. of 10,000 have been sold, and it has long been adopted in the principal schools, as the best in the language. His next publication was his well known Scientific Dialogues, followed in the same line of composition, by his Dialogues on Chemistry and on the Microscope. His other works were his Letters on Natural Philosophy, his Introduction to the Arts and Sciences; and lastly, he co-operated with Messrs. SHEPHERD and CARPENTER, in a well planned work, called Systematic Education, which has been favourably received. For many years he contributed the Meteorological Report to this Magazine, even that in the present number, and often illustrated its pages by his contributions on matter of fact and useful subjects. One of his last communications was the account of his late brother, in our Magazine for May; and at that time, and till within two hours of his death, he was in as good health as he had been for several years past. The qualities of his mind are to be estimated by the variety and extent of his labours; and in regard to those of his heart, we, who knew him well, can assert, that an honester or better man never lived. He has left an amiable widow, and a large young family, to deplore their irreparable loss in the produce of his unceasing industry, in the example afforded by his virtuous character, and in the valuable precepts and instruction with which he was so well qualified to guide them to happiness.
