Dr. James Chichester Maclaurin, whose death we recorded in page 312 of our last number, was born in London, December 7, 1767, and was educated at St. Paul's School, under Dr. Roberts, who had a high opinion of his abilities; and in the Latin Epitaph he is compofing, to be placed on his pupil's tomb at Exmouth, in Devonshire, Dr. Roberts has afferted that he cannot do juftice to the memory of his deceased fr end. He studied medicine under Dr. Saunders, who entertained the moft fanguine hopes of his future fame. In the year 1794, he was with the British army in Holland; his unremitting attention to the duties of his profeffion, in a winter the moft fevere in the memory of man, laid the foundation of the diforder which ultimately proved his death. On his return to England, he went to Southampton, where he had the misfortune to break a blood veffel, and was confined to his room feveral weeks: this fevere indifpofition he never perfectly recovered. On the conclufion of the Peace of Amiens, Dr. Maclaurin was appointed phyfician to the Embaffy to France, and accompanied Lord Whitworh and fuite to Paris. His abilities and urbanity of manners will be long remembered by those who benefitted by his fkill, and who had the pleasure of his fociety, when released from the toils of his profeffional duty. Upon the return of Lord Whitworth to England, Dr. Maclaurin found his health fo impraired, that, by the advice of his medical friends, he removed to Exmouth, iu Devonshire, but found little or no benefit; and, after lingering till the 18th of laft February, he expired in the 38th year of his age. One prominent feature in his character was an invincible modefty, and too great a diffidence in his own abilities, accompanied with fo much feeling and gentlenefs of difpofition, that his patients at the fame time beheld the phyfician and the fympathising friend, He was poffeffed of the greatess firmnefs and ftrength of mind, and it has been often obferved by thofe who knew him well, that few men had ever fo little reafon to retract their opinion, as he never formed one but upon the matureft reflection. Had the life of this eminent phyfician been prolonged, it was hoped by his friends that his natural diffidence would fomewhat have abated; this alone was wanting to make him one of the most eminent characters in his profeffion. His lofs to the army is great; and the many lives he preferved on the Continent, by his skill while phyfician to the forces, will remain an inconteftible monument of his fame. It is a remarkable circumftance, that three perfons, who were in the greatest habits of friendflip, fhould be fnatched from this world at nearly the fame period; namely, his Grace the Duke of Roxburgh, James Hare, Efq. M.P., for Kuarefborough, and Dr. Maclaurin; the Duke, who lived but a few weeks after his friend, entertained the highest refpect for him, and much regretted his premature deceafe: Mr. Hare, whofe fagacity in difcriminating the human mind was well known, loved his fociety much, and fincerely lamented his lofs. His amiable widow and family will long deplore the lofs of the most affectionate of men, Died.] Aged 80 years, Lieutenant Robert Kerr, of the Royal Hofpital, Greenwich; he was the oldeft Lieutenant in his Majefty's fervice.-At Ilington, after a few hours illness, Mrs. Ann Farror, a maiden lady, in the 60th year of her age: her death was occafioned, it is fuppofed, by eating mufeles.-Jofhua Pickerfgill, Efq. at his houfe, in Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square.

Fawcett.-At his houfe, in Great George Street, Westminster, Lieutenant-General Sir William Fawcett, K. B. Governor of Chelsea College, and Colonel of the 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards. This veteran officer was honoured through li e with the perfonal regard of his Sovereign. The General was of humble origin, and once a private foldier-but a more complete gentlemon was not to be found in the King's dominions. greateft pride was in recounting the exploits of his youth as the right-hand man of a company of grenadiers, belonging to the regiment in which he firft enlifted. His The General commenced the most splendid part of his career with the Marquis Cornwallis, as a fellow volunteer in the fame regiment. Sir William foon obtained an enligncy in the $2d regiment as his firft ftep: and marrying fhortly after his first wife (by whom alone he had any iffue) he purchased an enfigncy in the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, and from thence, through his own merit, rofe progreffively to the high and diftinguithed rank he held at his death. During the abfence of the Duke of York on the Dutch expedition Sir William acted at home as Commander in Chief; and in that, as well as every other fituation in which he was placed, he proved himself eminently worthy of the truft reposed in him. Sir William Fawcett's funeral was fuitable to his rank. On Saturday, at one o'clock, P. M. March 30, the remains of this much refpected officer, were removed from his houfe, Great George Street, Weftm ufter, and interred with great military pomp in a yault in the burying ground at Chelsea College, of which inftitution the General had long been Governor. An inftance of Royal favour and condeicenfion was exhibited on this occation, which, we believe has no precedent. The General was attended to the vault by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Dukes of York, Clarence, Kent, and Cumberland, and a great number of General Officers and private friends. The following was the order of the proceffion : Six mutes on horseback, two and two. Large plume of black feathers. Two mutes mounted. A perfon on horfeback, bare headed, with a crimson velvet cushion, bearing the hat and plume, the white boots, gold fpurs, ftar, red ribbon, and other infignia of the order of the Bath. THE BODY, Turk's Row, to the great gate of the Hofpital. The Royal mourners then left their carriages, as did the other gentlemen and officers, and the coffin was taken from the hearfe, and conveyed infide of the gate. The 7th Royal Garrifon Battalion, from the Tower, was drawn up in lines on each fide of the walk, and the coffin then proceeded towards the Chapel. It was preceded by the muffled drums of the regiment, and the fifes playing the Dead March in Saul, and at the bottom of the vifta the corpfe was met by the Duke of York's band, which continued that air until In a hearse elegantly emblazoned by ef the coffin was depofited on a bier in the cutcheons. Two mutes as before. The General's charger led, covered Seven mourning coaches. The proceffion was clofed by a long line of the carriages of the General's particular friends. The feven mourning coaches, with four horfes and efcutcheons, were thus filled-1ft Coach, Captain Stenton, Paul, Efq. Steers, Efq. Col. Addingbrook, in crape and scarfs. 2d and 3d ditto, Pall bearers. 4th. General Brownrigg, General Calvert, General Delancy, and Col. Wynyard. 5th. Colonel Clinton, Captain Thorpe, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Greenwood. 6th. Dr. Moseley, Dr. Reynolds, Col. Paterfon. 7th. Sir William's fervants, the whole with fearfs. The proceffion proceeded down Great George Street, turned into Parliament Street, and on coming to the Horfe Guards, the mutes, who led the way, turned their horfes to the left, in order to pass through the Park. The detachment on guard had previously turned out, but leave, we understand, could not be given for a funeral to go that way. The cavalcade then proceeded to Charing Crofs, Cockfpur Street, down Pall Mall, up St. James's Street, down Piccadilly, to Knightfbridge, and thence along Sloane Street, through VOL. I. chapel. On the coffin was placed the robes, hat and feathers, fword, &c. The decorations of the coffin were un commonly beautiful. They confifted of plates, with the arms engraved and richly gilt, and were relieved by filver ftars. The communion table was hung with black embroidered with gold. The Princes fat in a pew underneath the organ loft, and the General Officers and chief mourners on the left of the minister. When the body left the hearfe, the proceffion to the Chapel, and from thence to the ground of interment, cons fifted of Two Chaplains of that College. Body, naked fword, fafh, &c. Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Duke of Clarence, D. of Cumberland Duke of Kent, Duke of Cambridge, as chief mourners, all in full military uniform, with black scarfs. The Duke of York took the right hand, agreeable to military etiquette, as Field Marthal. After the Princes of the Blood, the Officers of the Royal College walked two and two. The Duke of York appeared much affected, to the fhedding of tears. The military arrangements of the College were under the direction of Major General Burrard. The funeral fervice was performed by the Rev. Mr. Yeates, Chaplain to the Hofpital, affifted by the Rev. Mr. Haggett, in a very folemn and impreffive manner. The pulpit and clerk's defk were hung with black, and adorned with efcutcheons, placed in regular order, with good effect; when the proceffion moved towards the ground, the pensioners forming an avenue to the place of interment, a vault purpofely conftructed in the centre of the burial ground: the corpfe was let down, and LII |
