A medallion of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL is exhibited by Fame, which Genius is beholding with a wreath in one hand, and a torch in the other; about the monument are placed military ensigns, and on it the following inscription:

"Sacred to the memory of Major General Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, Knight of the Bath, M. P. Colonel of the seventyfourth regiment of foot, Hereditary Usher of the White Rod for Scotland, late Governor of Jamaica, Governor of Fort St. George, and Commander in Chief of the Forces on the Coast of Coromandel, in the East Indies. He died equally regretted and admired for his eminent civil and military services to his country; possessed of distinguished endowments of mind, dignified manners, inflexible integrity, unfeigned benevolence, with every social and amiable virtue. He departed this life March 31, A. D. 1791, aged fifty-two.

"Alas, piety! alas, fidelity, like that of old! and warlike courage! when shall you have his equal?"

"To the memory of DAVID GARRICK, who died in the year 1779, at the age of sixty-three.

To paint fair Nature by divine command,
Her magic pencil in his glowing hand,

A Shakespeare rose-then to expand his fame

Wide o'er this " breathing world,” a Garrick came.
Though sunk in death, the forms the Poet drew,
The Actor's genius bade them breathe anew:
Though, like the bard himself, in night they lay,
Immortal Garrick called them back to day:

And till Eternity with power sublime,
Shall mark the mortal hour of hoary Time,

Shakespeare and Garrick like twin Stars shall shine,
And earth irradiate with a beam divine.

PRATT.

"This monument, the tribute of a Friend, was erected in

1797.

"WEBBER, Fecit."

Garrick's throwing aside the curtain, which discovers the medallion, is meant to represent his superior power to unveil the beauties of Shakespeare. Tragedy and Comedy are assembled with their respective attributes to witness and approve the scene.

The back ground is composed of dove-coloured polished marble.

In this part of the church a monument is about to be erected to the memory of CHRISTOPHER ANSTEY, Esq. author of the Bath Guide, &c.

"To the memory of WILLIAM DALRYMPLE, Midshipman, eldest son of Sir John Dalrymple, Bart. one of the Barons of Exchequer in Scotland, and of Elizabeth Hamilton Macgill, representative of the Viscounts of Oxford.

Who, though heir of ample estates, preferred to a life of indolence and pleasure, the toilsome and perilous professions of a seaman, when his country was in danger. At the age of eighteen he was killed, off the coast of Virginia, in a desperate engagement, in which Captain Salter, in the Santa Margareta, took the Amazone, a French ship of superior force, almost in sight of the enemy's fleet; receiving, in the public dispatches of his skilful and generous Commander, the honourable testimony that "he was a worthy and deserving youth, who, had he lived, would have been an ornament to his profession;" and leaving to his once happy parents, in whose fond eyes he appeared to promise whatever could be expected from genius, spirit, and the best gift of God, a kind and melting heart, the endearing remembrance of his virtues.

"Father of All! grant to the prayers of a father and mother, that their surviving children may inherit the qualities of such a brother, and that there may never be wanting to the British youth, the spirit to pursue that line of public honour, which he marked out for himself and for them. Obiit, 29th July, 1782."

Above are tablets to the memory of rear-admiral JOHN HARRISON, captain of the Namur, under Sir George Pocock, in several successful engagements with the French fleet commanded by monsieur D'Aché, in one of which he was wounded. He conducted, under the same British admiral, the armament against the Havannah, and brought the fleet and treasure safe to England. In consequence of excessive fatigue, soon after his return, he lost the use of one side, by a paralytic stroke, and remained helpless twentyVOL. IV. No, 89. eight

eight years. He was firm in action, prudent in conduct, polished in society, generous and humane in a profession, and upon an element where human virtue is of the most rigid kind, and human nature is most severely tried; his modesty was equal to his virtues. He died October 5, 1791, aged sixty-nine years.

Above and below the said inscription, are expressed in Latin the following words:

"God is my port and refuge;

God hath shewn his wonders in the deep."

Sir JOHN BURLAND, knight, L. L. D. One of the barons of his majesty's court of Exchequer; as a man valued and beloved; as a judge, honoured and revered. He died suddenly on the 29th of February, 1776, aged fifty-one years. On a pyramid of black marble is represented his profile, in a medallion of statuary marble, decorated with emblems alluding to the qualities for which he was eminent; the caduceus, denoting his eloquence, and the scales expressive of his justice.

A neat monument of WILLIAM WRAGG, Esq. consisting of a tablet of white Carara marble, crowned with a fascia, supporting the figure of Memory, leaning in a thoughtful attitude over an urn, enriched with marine ornaments; in the centre of which is represented the fatal accident that happened to the ship in which he was embarked, when he with many more, was drowned, on the 3d of September, 1777. His son, who accompanied him, was miraculously saved on a package, supported by a black slave, till he was cast on shore, on the coast of Holland.

mory of Dr. ISAAC WATTS It is divided by a fascia, over which a bust of that divine and poet is exhibited, supported by Genii, who seem pleased with the office to which they are allotted. Underneath, in a circle, a fine figure of Doctor Watts sitting on a stool, in the attitude of deep contemplation, is finely expressed by an angel opening to him the wonders of creation, whilst in one hand he holds

holds a pen, and with the other points to a celestial globe. His name, and the dates of his birth and death, are inscribed on the plinth.-" Isaac Watts, D. D. born July 17, 1674. Died Nov. 25, 1748."

MARTIN FOLKES, of Hiilington, in the county of Norfolk, Esq. who, under the auspices of Newton, happily employed his talents, industry, and time, in the study of sublime philosophy. He was chosen president of the Royal Society, in 1741; and calmly submitted to the common lot of men, on the 28th of June, 1754, at the age of sixtythree. He is represented sitting, with his hands resting on a book, shut, as if contemplating; above is an urn, covered with drapery, which a boy holds up; there are two more boys, one of whom seems much surprised from looking through a microscope, while the other, with a pair of compasses, is measuring the globe.

A tablet of fine marble, decorated with military trophies, and bearing this inscription:

"Near this place lie the remains of WILLIAM STRODE, Esq. Lieutenant General of his Majesty's Forces, and Colonel of the 62d Regiment of Foot. He departed this life, Jan. 14, 1776, in the 78th year of his age.

"Who constantly attended his duty, both at home and abroad, during a course of 60 years' service. He was a strenuous asserter of both civil and religious liberty, as established at the glorious Revolution by King William.

Military Reader! go thou and do likewise."

"Sacred to the memory of Major ANDRE, who, raised by his merit at an early period of life, to the rank of Adjutant General of the British Forces in America, and employed in an important, but hazardous enterprise, fell a sacrifice to his zeal for his King and Country, on the 23 of October, 1780, aged 29, universally beloved and esteemed by the army in which he served, and lamented even by his foes. His gracious Sovereign, King George III. has caused this monument to be erected."

On the front of the sarcophagus, general Washington is represented in his tent, at the moment when he had received the report of the Court-Martial held on major Andre;

at the same time a flag of truce arrived from the British army, with a letter for general Washington, to treat for the major's life. But the fatal sentence being already passed, the flag was sent back without the hoped-for clemency in his favour. Major André received his condemnation with that fortitude and resolution which had always marked his character; and is represented going, with unshaken spirit, to meet his doom. On the top of the sarcophagus, a figure of Britannia, reclining, laments the premature fate of so gallant an officer. The British lion also seems, instinctively, to mourn his untimely death.

A bust highly finished, and emblems of sacred offices. The Latin inscription thus translated:

"Sacred to the memory of the Rev. JOHN THOMAS, LL. D. Bishop of Rochester, Dean of this Collegiate Church, and of the most Honourable Order of the Bath. Having passed through the School at Carlisle with reputation, he proceeded to Oxford, to gather a more abundant harvest of knowledge; where he became both the ornament and patron of genius, good morals, and of polite, as well as of profound learning. With increasing fame every where spreading itself, he did honour to dignities by his merit, improved riches by bestowing them, presided over the Church with wisdom, defended it by his authority, regulated it by his example; ever active in duties, and unwearied in attentions, added to the strictest Oeconomy, till after a well-spent life, himself exhausted but not his patience, by a long and painful illness, he resigned his Soul to God, August the 10th, 1793, aged 81 years. His Nephew, G. A. T. A. M. to whose los it fell to perform it, offers this unavailing tribute, as a testimony, though small, of Duty and Affection."

Bishop PEARCE. On a pedestal stands the bust of this learned prelate. Underneath is a Latin inscription, of which the following is a translation:

"Sacred to the memory of the most Reverend ZACHARY PEARCE, S. T. P. Bishop of Rochester, Dean of this church, and of the most Honourable Order of the Bath. The seeds of learning, which were early sown at Westminster School, he cultivated to maturity at Cambridge: how rich the produce, both as a critic and divine, his works, already printed and published, will abund
