MASTERS, MARTIN KEDGWIN, a surgeon and apothecary at Watford, who has published:

ceived his education at Eton, from
whence he removed to Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he took the degree of
B.A. in 1774. The next year he obtained,
with the present Dr. Seale, the member's
prize for the best dissertation in Latin
prose. In 1776 he gained one of the prizes
as senior bachelor. About the same time
he was chosen fellow of his college, which
he quitted, after taking the degree of M.A,
to discharge the office of clerk to her Ma-
jesty's treasurer. When the controversy
excited by Chatterton engaged public at-
tention, Mr. Mathias embarked on the
side of Rowley, and in vindicating the
authenticity of the poems attributed to
that person, he was assisted by Dr. Glynn.
In 1794 appeared the first part of an ano-
nymous poem entitled the Pursuits of
Literature, which, when completed in
four parts, attracted universal notice,
chiefly on account of the notes, which
abound in deep and extensive learning,
with keen and discriminating criticism
on public men and opinions. It has been
truly observed that "the cause of litera-
ture has never been supported in a day of
danger and perversion, upon principles

more excellent, or with powers better adapted to their object." After ascribing this work to various writers of high rank, the general voice united in fixing it upon Mr. Mathias, who has been supposed to have received some material assistance in it from some leading members of his own college. The publications which are known to be of his production are: Runic Odes, imitated from the Norse tongue, 4to. 1781.--On the Evidence external and internal relating to the Poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, 8vo. 1783.-The Political Dramatist of the House of Commons, 8vo. 1795.—A pair of Epistles to Dr. Randolph

Charles Morgan, to the East Indies, where he served as an officer in the 24th regiment, during the whole of the war directed by the Marquis Cornwallis against Tippoo Sultaun.

His works are:
