ART. XXII. Literary Obituary.

Feb. 14, 1808. In London, æt. 60, the Rev. Joshua Larwood, Rector of Swanton Morley, Norfolk, and many years Chaplain on board The Britannia; author of Erratics, and several useful publications.

April 22. At his house, near Dean's-Yard, Westminster, Mr. Hull, the Actor. He was in the eightieth year of his age, and had been so long a member of the theatrical community, that he had become the father of the Stage. He was originally in the medical profession, and among those who knew him long was generally styled Dr. Hull. He was a good scholar, and possessed literary talents, which he frequently exercised, many years ago, with credit to his character. His compositions were invariably intended to promote the interests of virtue, and excite the benevolent affections. He was the founder of that institution which provides subsistence for decayed Actors and Actresses, when they are no longer qualified for the duties of their profession. He wrote a tragedy upon the subject of "Fair Rosamond," which he dedicated to the memory of Shenstone, the poet, his school-fellow, of whose friendship he was reasonably proud, and of whom he had an original portrait, which he held in great veneration. Mr. Hull was also author of two volumes of Poems, and various other productions. Upon the whole, it may be fairly said, that while he was highly respectable in the theatrical calling, no man ever acted his part upon the stage of life with more uniform propriety, or left that state with more approbation froin those who had wituessed his conduct, and knew the merits of his character.

To Correspondents.
