educated for the church , but who was of too unsettled a turn to distinguish himself in his profession , and who died , in consequence of a fall from his horse , Sept . 2 , 1787 . To him the following interesting extract refers :
< c Such was the state of the family at Nostel , when I became an inmate in November 1763 . I was received by Sir Rowland in the kindest manner : Assure yourself , my dear , and tell your iriother / said the honoured invalid , as he lay upon a couch in his library , on my first entrance , ' that I will take care of the interests of
your brother ; ' aud he lost no time in endeavouring to fulfil his proniise . As soon as he was able to sit up , he wrote a long letter to Archbishop Drummond , who then filled the see of York , and with whom he was in habits of great ; intimacy , requesting his advice respecting the pourse of study which a young man Intended for
the- church ought especially to pursue ; adding , that he made the request in behalf of a wear relation about whose welfare he -was very solicitous . The Archbishop returned an answer at great length ; filling many sheetfe of paper with a detail of the authors that should be

Wilson . 1823 . 4 s . fTT ^ IIS is the case of Mr . Bowring ^ J ^ ' stated by himself . Our opinion Of it , already freely expressed , is fully
justified by the € C Details" here presented , which are authenticated by official documents . The pamphlet proves beyond dispute , that the French government had not even the shadow
of a reason for their oppressive and cruel conduct towards our enlight ^ nejd and virtuous countryman . His ; im- ? prisonment was the result of some dark intrigue ; the wanton act of a faction which has for some time
swayed the Bourbon counsels , and which has put the very existence of the dynasty in jeopardy . The British minister conducted him ^ self in the affair with an appearance * at least * of decent regard to the honour of the country . Had he shewn ,
more sympathy with the injured individual , and a gueater indignation against the lawless proceedings qi the * Court of France ^ he might not merely have avoided- Matoie , but have earned a title to praise , ' friprbftre conferred a neW and hdTftft ^ Twirkcter upon our own ftm eii
