He was a gentleman of fuperior endowments, and the most benevolent difpofitionis hofpitality, friendliness, and charity, made the ample fortune he inherited a common benefit; whilft the peculiar mildnefs and fuavity of his manners, endeared him to his relatives, and to every one who had the honour of his acquaintance. He loved his country and the conftitution of its government, from a conviction of their excellence; and what he loved he was always ready to funport, both in his public and private capacity; although conflitutional difiidence would not allow him to fpeak in the Houfe of Commons, where he fat as burgefs for Helftoe and Grantham, But Mr. Yorke had a cultivated as well as benevolent mind; being well verfed in moft branches of polite literature; which an accurate and retentive m.mory enabled him to apply with great advantage. Of late yeus, he turned his attention a good deal to Welsh history and genealogy, in which, from the fpecimen given in his Royal Tribes of Wales, he appears to have made great progrefs. ftudy, rather dry in itself, was, in his hand, enlivened by a variety of anthentic and ontertaining anecdotes, many of which had efcaped preceding hiftorians He had collected materials for a longer work of the fame kind, which it is hoped, will hereafter fer the light. His tafte for natural beauties was very cored; the pleafur-grounds of Erthig are a decided proof of it Of a character fo resectable and amiable throughout, one of the moft diftinguishing traits was his talent for converfation Few equalled him here. Whatever he advanced arole naturally from the occafion; and was expreffed in fuch a happy manner and choice of words, as made him the very life and delight of fociery. Such was Philip Yorke! and as long as affection and gra.itude retain their influence, to long will his memory be cherished by thofe who had an opportunity of knowing his worth.
