met with, and continues to have, very considerable and increasing sale. A distinguishing feature of this amusing Miscellany, and that which has contributed in an essential degree to its success, has been a steady adherence to a generous and just system of sporting ethics, marking the due discrimination between sport and cruelty, and advocating on all occasions the humane duty of justice and mercy to brute beasts. These, Mr. W.'s last efforts, were deservedly crowned with success, and placed him, towards the decline of his days, in a state of respectable independence.

:

John Wheble might be fairly pronounced a man thoroughly inclined to do his duty in that state of life in which it had pleased God to call him. One trait in his character deserves to be particularly noticed he was always the encourager of meritorious youthful exertions, and to him several respectable individuals owe their first introduction to the road to prosperity. He was fond of society, and a frank open-heartedness, for which he was distinguished, always rendered him a pleasing companion. His disposition was humane and charitable; the present Writer, who knew him with a considerable degree of intimacy during the last five and twenty years, can vouch for some signal instances of his. charity to the associates of former days, on whom Fortune had frowned. He was twice married, and has left a widow and a long list of friends to lament his loss.

He

ranked high in the Society of Free and Accepted Masons; and, by his activity on every call of public or private charity, reflected credit on the principles of that respectable Fraternity.
