was all strength, elasticity, and erectness-which pity could dissolve to very woman's weakness. Deeply, deeply mournful, is the sentiment of deprivation in the bosoms of the many but affectionate friends, with whom he passed the morning of his days. When the bond of companionship in the pursuit of youthful studies, and the, perhaps, still more endearing bond of companionship in pursuit of the phantom of youthful pleasure, with such a spirit, is cut asunder, the heart, unstrung, sinks upon it. self, with a despondent sense of the evanescence of the springs of human happiness, and even of the sources of life itself.

MR. JOHN DAWSON.

Sept. 20. At his house at Sedbergh, in Yorkshire, in his 86th year, Mr. John Dawson, formerly surgeon and apothecary; but for more than the last 50 years, an eminent teacher of the mathematics at that place. He was thought to be one of the first men of the age in that branch of learning, as his numerous scholars, dispersed over the globe, many of whom have been Senior Wranglers in the University of Cambridge, can well testify; and what is still more remarkable, he was self taught. He published but little, though he wrote, and it is hoped, has left behind him, several valuable Manuscripts on Mathematical Subjects; some, in particular, illustrative of difficult parts of Sir I. Newton's Principia; which, the writer of this knows, would well bear to see the light. In the early part of his life, he engaged in controversy with the celebrated William Emerson, on the subject of the Newtonian Analysis, or Method of Fluxions; with the no less celebrated Matthew Stewart, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Edinburgh, respecting the sun's distance; and with the not less able, though perhaps, less known, Mr. Charles Wildbore, many years editor of the Gentleman's Diary, on the subject of fluids issuing from vessels in motion; and, it is well known, that, in every instance, he had the advantage. He was a tender parent, a kind and good neighbour, a real Christian, and a steady friend. In him the world has lost one of its brightest ornaments; and he will be long and universally lamented, by his numerous friends and acquaintances.

MR. SAMUEL ROUSSEAU.

Dec. 4. In Ray-street, Clerkenwell, aged 57, Mr. Samuel Rousseau, a learned Printer. He served his apprenticeship in the Printing-Office of Mr. Nichols, the venerable Editor of this Magazine, GENT. MAG. December, 1820.

by whom he was occasionally employed in colleeting epitaphs and other remains of antiquity. He was a singular instance of patient perseverance in the acquirement of the antient languages. Whilst working as an apprentice and journeyman he taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Persian, and Arabic. To these acquirements he added a knowledge of the French, and some of the modern tongues. He was, for a short time, master of Joy's charity-school in Blackfriars.

A few years after the expiration of his apprenticeship, he commenced Printing on his own account, in Leather-lane, Holborn, and afterwards removed to Wood-street, Clerkenwell, where he carried on business for some time, but with little advantage to himself and family; having, from unforeseen circumstances and losses in trade, been obliged to relinquish business.

During the time he was a Printer, he taught the Persian language; and compiled and published several Oriental Works-1. "Flowers of Persian Literature," 1801, 4to. 2. "Dictionary of Mohammedan Law, Bengal Revenue Terms, Shanscrit, Hindoo, and other Words used in the East Indies," 1802, 12mo. 3." Persian and English Vocabulary," 1802, 8vo. 4. "Richardson's Specimen of Persian Poetry; or, Odes of Hafez; with an English Translation and Paraphrase," 1804, 4to. 5. "Balfour's Forms of Herkern, corrected from a variety of Manuscripts, translated into English; with an Index of Arabic words explained, and arranged under their proper Roots," 1804, 8vo. 6. "The Book of Knowledge; or, A Grammar of the Persian Language," 1805, 4to. Also, a Persian Copy Book, containing a great Variety of Copies, in imitation of the Nustaleek Hand.

Since he relinquished the Printing business, he edited a variety of Works for the Booksellers; but as a creditable support for himself and his family was his aim, and not literary reputation, most of his Works have appeared under fictitious names:-" An Essay on Punctuation," 1815, 12mo. "Annals of Health and Long Life," 1818. "Principles of Punctuation; or, The Art of Pointing familiarized," 1818. "Principles of Elocution," 1819. And many others, as Dictionaries, Biography, Geography, &c. &c. They have, however, generally proved successful to the Publishers; as their objects were useful and nothing ever appeared in them contrary to good morals, or the Established Religion and Government.

About

About three years ago he was seized with a paralytic stroke, which continued to increase, and, joined to a cancerous affection in his face, rendered him incapable of holding a pen, or indeed of feeding himself. In this accumulated distress, with two daughters wholly dependent on him for support, a gleam of comfort was afforded him in the last moments of his existence, by a liberal benefaction from that excellent Institution, "The Literary Fund;" which also enabled his daughters to consign his remains to a decent grave in the churchyard of St. James's, Clerkenwell.

Garcia, has plunged into despair the family of M. Naldi, of the Italian Theatre Royal. This celebrated buffo-performer, having been invited to dine with M. Garcia, immediately on his arrival with his wife and daughter, proceeded to examine the accelerated process of cooking by the self-acting boiler (la marmite autoclave). By an imprudent and fatal inadvertency, M. Naldi, with the tongs, stopped the valve, and the compression increased the heat to such a degree, thau an explosion ensued; the lid of the boiler came in contact with his forehead, completely severed the skull and stretched him dead at the feet of his daughter. M. Garcia, who was near his hapless friend, was not seriously wounded; the steam scorched all the upper part of his face, and injured the eyes, but not in any dangerous degree. Surgical aid, arrived immediately after the explosion; but to M. Naldi all efforts were unavailing; he was no more. It would be a vain effort to describe the heart-rending effect of this tragical scene upon the two families. M. Naldi justly claims our deep regret. His demeanour bespoke an estimable man, and in fact such he was. He

was
