husband and an indulgent father . Their only resources lie in the exertions of . their friends , and in the good will of every wise and every virtuous man , who contemplates the acuteness of their sufferings , and who from experience can appreciate the worth of their nearest relative , and most beloved protector .
For the satisfaction of such persons enough has been already stated , and to others , who are seldom inclined to pardon human frailties , or to pity human woes , more would be urged in vain . It remains for us more directly to lay open the purposes , for which the Catalogue is intended , and the principle , by which it was regulated .
The debls of Mr , Lunn amount to eight thousand pounds . The worth of the property , which he has left behind him , is supposed to exceed that sum . His Executor is anxious to discharge those debts by the
speedy sale of his effects , and to employ the surplus in making * provision for Mrs Lunn , and her two daughters . In order lo facilitate the sale of the stock in Soho
Square , the price of every common and every choice article has been considerably reduced , and every possible encouragement has been given for literary men to partake of the various and precious treasures offered to them . It cannot often happen that books so valuable will be presented to their choice at so moderate a price - It may never be in
their power again to gratify at once their curiosity , and their benevolence . They are respectfully invited to mark the good opinion which they formerly entertained of Mr . Lunn himself for skilfulness in his profession , and probity in his dealings . They are earnestly entreated to manifest their
good will to a family , deprived of his protection , mourning for his death , and depending upon the successful sale of his books and other property as the only expedient , which can procure for them the necessary comforts and reasonable conveniences of life .

ancient family of Otterton , in the same county , to William Harlewin , Esq . |§ j John Harlewin , who was knighted for hi valour by Edward IV . lived at Sidmouth * his descendants resided there in the days of Henry VI . and to the time of Charles II . an old monument in the church , records the
name of one of them , Walter Harlewin , F . sq Mr . Carslake was one of the most respectable and most respected inhabita nts of Sidmouth . H was eminently a sou of peace himself , and sincerely desirous of promoting the peace and happiness of all about him . His chaiacter was sketched in the following- terms the Sunday after his interment , by a friend , who well knew the worth he was describing' :
It was a bright example which tie Ci hoary headed * 7 friend who is now removed from us exhibited . His life bad beeo a Ion ? one . He often repeated , during" his lingering * decay ( being more than eight months confined to his hetV ) the observation of Moses , in the xc . Psalm . fct The days of cur years are three score years and ten , and if by reason of strength they be four scon yearSy yet is their strength- labour and
sorrow , for it is soon cut <{ ff \ and we Jy away . " He could well understand this language , for he had enteied the 82 d jeai of his age , and for the last two years of his life , though remarkably healthy before , he had full , experience of the affecting truth contained in the last clause of this verse
the little strength which remained was labour and sorrow . The bitterness of his trial was , probably , krrown only to Himself . He often declared that he was constantly in pain , and several times , that those pains , were
very severe . His whole frame was at times convulsed with agony , £ e was chastened with pain on Ms bed , and the multitude cf his bones with strong pain . In general , however , the conflict he had to sustain was not of this severe kind , and his habitual
patience , united with his pious resignation , made it much more tolerable to himself and all about him than it could otherwise have been . I saw a great deal of him , 1 can truly say , that I never heard a murmur escape his lips . More than once he said to
me , when I was sympathizing with him , wherefore should a living man complain , a man for the punishment of his sins ! All the dcCys of . my appointed time will I vait till my change come . The language ol scripture was very familiar to him , All his life he had been in the habit of reading
the sacred books and , for the latter yean , of it , some hours of every day were ar-ent by him in tliis blessed work . The books of Job , the Psalms , and Ecclcsiasfes , an « many chapters of the Prophets , partrculaj jy Isaiah , he could repeat almost l > y heart ., P W was also well acquainted with the » < j * Testament , and had very just notions of me gospel dispensation , and of * the nc " . £ and magnitude of that lore of God , *»
