DRAPER, Rev. HENRY, D.D. of St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford, formerly Sunday Morning and Evening Preacher at St. Antholin's, Watling Street, and Afternoon Lecturer of St. George's, Southwark. In his publication, mentioned below, Dr. D. tells us that he had been engaged in the temporary care of an extensive and populous parish, and that his lectures were preached by him "as a means of confirming the members of our national establishment in their attachment to her pure services." Yet he very soon afterwards deserted that church and joined the Methodists. He then became superintendent of the late Countess of Huntingdon's Chapels, and President of her College at Cheshunt, but having been displaced by the Directors of that institution, he now resides at Peckham, and preaches at a chapel there. He has published:

In this situation, Mr. D. had an opportunity of indulging a natural desire of knowledge, till he engaged in business for himself. All his leisure, however, is devoted to studies chiefly of a metaphysi cal kind, and besides three or four pamphlets of a local nature, he has published:

DUDLEY, Rev. Sir HENRY BATE, Bart. LL. D. Chancellor and Prebendary of Ferns, Ireland, Rector of Willingham, Suffolk, and Proprietor of the Morning Herald newspaper. This gentleman, the second of the twelve children of the late Rev. Mr. Bate of Worcester, was educated at Queen's College, Oxford; and at an early age obtained the living of North Farnbridge, Essex, and the Curacy of Letherhead, Surrey. About 1775 he became concerned in the Morning Post newspaper, which he afterwards quitted, and was the original founder of the Morning Herald, which commenced in 1780. In 1781 he purchased the advowin which parish he expended nearly son of the living of Bradwell juxta Mare, 30,000l. in improvements, and obtained the gold medal of the Society of Arts, for embanking and gaining a considerable quantity of land from the sea. On the death of the incumbent, he applied to the bishop to be inducted to the living; a long controversy ensued; legal interference was resorted to, and at painter, a native of length the patron waived his right to the France. This artist not long since ren- presentation in favor of his brother-indered himself notorious by a picture law. In 1805 he was preferred to the which he publicly exhibited, representing Mrs. Hope, and her husband, Thomas Hope, Esq. (to whose patronage he had been not a little indebted) in the characters of Beauty and the Beast. This procedure was resented by the Rev. Mr. Beresford, brother of Mrs. H. who cut in pieces the obnoxious painting. An action for damages was, in consequence, brought by the artist, who was, however, nonsuited. A statement of the case was given in the Examiner Sunday Newspaper, on which Mr. D. published:

DUNDAS, General Sir DAVID, K. B. Colonel of the 1st regt. of dragoons, and of the 95th foot, and Governor of Chelsea Hospital. This eminent military character, descended from the family of Dundas, of Dundas, which claims the rank of chief of that name, was born about 1737 at Edinburgh. His father was a merchant of that city; and by his mother he was cousin to the late Viscount Melville. At the age of eighteen he commenced his professional career under his uncle, General David Watson,

quished the Quarter-Master Generalship, and in 1809, on the resignation of the Duke of York, succeeded to the chief command of the British army, which he held till the reinstatement of his royal highness. Sir David occupies a place here as author of

The Principles of Military Movements, chiefly applied to Infantry, 4to. 1788. His Majesty, to whom this work was dedicated, having been pleased to approve of it, directed it to be arranged and adapted printed under the title of "Rules and Regulations for the Formations, Field-Exercise, and Movements of his Majesty's Forces," with an injunction that this system should be strictly followed and adhered to, Regulations for the Cavalry were also planned by without any deviation whatsoever.

DUNDONALD (ARCHIBALD COCHrane), Earl of, a nobleman eminently distinguished by a love of scientific pursuits, and speculations which have impaired his private fortune, while they have contributed to enrich others, and to increase the resources of the country. He was born about 1744, and entered into the naval service, which he relinquished with the rank of lieutenant, and in 1778 succeeded to the family honors, by the demise of his father. His lordship has obtained several patents: 1. for extracting tar from coal, originally designed to pay ships' bottoms, to secure them from worms; but, since the general adoption of copper sheathing, this tar has been used only as a cheap but efficacious covering for out-houses, sheds, fences, &c. 2. for a method of preparing a substitute for gum-senegal and other gums; 3. for

methods of preparing hemp and flax, so as materially to aid the operation of the hackles in the division of the fibre. These, and the subjoined list of his publications, shew the subjects to which his attention has been principally devoted. In 1774 his lordship married Anne, daughter of Captain Gilchrist, of the royal navy, by whom he had five sons, two of whom are post captains in the navy, and two are in the army. In 1784 he lost his first wife, and in 1788 married Mrs. Mayne, a widow lady, by whom he has no issue. He is the au
