IHQUIRY CONCERNING NICHOLAS AND THOMAS WARREN .
Untitled Article
To the Editor of the Monthly Repository .
SIR , One advantage * among others .
of your Repository , has been found to be that of procuring in * , formation respecting persons , concerning whom your correspondents have had occasion to make
inquiry , but have made it among their acquaintance in vain . The object of my present address is to gain intelligence concerning a Mr ,
Warren ^ of Cranbrook , whose name appears in an advertisement prefixed to a volume of sermons , lately sent to me , without any information to whom I am indebted
for them . The title of the volume is as follows : Sermons by the Rev . Thomas Warrei ) , many years rector of St . Elizabeth , in Jamaica , and Chaplain to the Honourable
the House of Assembly there . London , printed by Galabin and Marchant , 1809 . " But no publisher ' s name is inserted , nor is any editor mentioned , neither is

ster ; and I have a faint recollec * tion of having heard that he was some way related to Dr . Lardner , which apprehension is somewhat confirmed by the situation of the
place where he preached ; Cran . brook being near H ^ wkhurst , which , according to Dr . Kippis , was the place of Dr . Lardrier ' s nativity and of his interment . ?
Possibly , Sir , some one of your inquisitive correspondents may be able to furnish your readers with some account of this Mr . Nicholas Warren ; qs also of his son , who has shown this partiality to his
fathejr ' s compositions ; and of the occasion , time and circumstances of his copfprmity to the church of England . This would particularly gratify Your Occasional Correspondent .
• In turning to Kippis ' s Memoirs of JLardner , I ca $ t my eye on the follpwiflg passage , p . 96 . u Mfr friend , Dr . Towers * has favoured me with the perusal of a scries of letters written to Dr . Flemmjng , b y Dr . Lardner , in which he freely disclosed his thoughts concerning men and things /* Query—What is become of these letters ? If in being , would aot a selection from them afford a high entertainment to the public t
