pupils * and the studies of several young persons , whom he engaged to assist him in some of the departments of a liberal education ^ he at the same time directed , with a view to their becoming ministers ~ of the gospel . Of these , the Rev . John Deane , of Bradford , and his , own nephew , the Rev . Lowthion € ollock , of Macclesfield , are still living *
He died in May , 1780 ; and was buried in the north aisle of St * Nicholas' Church , ne ^ r t he north . west door . A handsome mural monument was prepared to have beeiv erected , with the following
inscription , written by his friend , JDr . John Rotheram : Near this place are deposited the remains of the Rev . SAMUEL LOWTHION ,
Twenty-eight years Minister of the congregation of Protestant Dissenters , ^ in Hanover Square , in this town ; Who have placed this public testimony
to their lively and lasting - remembrance of the truth and energy of his public instructions , the fervour of his animated devotion , " and his liberal , benevolent . Christian
spirit : by which he enlarged the understanding , warmed and animated the heart , and engaged universal esteem * But , though the consent was obtained of the Diocesan , Bishop Egerton , of Durham , and of
Bishop Law , of Carlisle , the patron , the then Incumbent would not grant his permission , unless the word truth were expunged from the eleventh line ; with which condition * the subscribers not be ing willing' to comply , the monument was never erected * 26 .

Settled at Carlisle , whence he removed to North Shields in l ' 76 . 7 r and died at Newcastle , in the house of His friend , Dr . John Rotheram , Aug . 1782 . 30 . Robert Andrews .
This ingenious person was first a minister at Platt , near Manchester , and afterwards at Bridgenorth , Shropshire . He wrote some animadversions on Dr . Brown ' s Essays on the Characteristics , and a criticism on the Sermons of his
late intimate and highly valued friend , Mr , JoKn Holland , ( No , 24 ) both of which shew him to have been a mart of considerable talents and learning . He published , in 17575 a set of poems in blank verse , under the title of
Eidyllia , to which he prefixed a violent attack on rhyme ; the whole betraying marks of a very unsettled imagination . ; which * afterwards increased so much as to
render occasional confinement necessary . In this state it is believed he died , about the year 1766 , just after he had published , from Bas . kerville s pre&s , an English blank verse translation of the works of
Virgil , on the strange plan of strictly confining the sense of every line of tfie original to a line of English verse . In the preface he explains his plan , and panegyrises his author in very extravagant language . After all , the work is far from being destitute of merit *
