Rector of Barming in Kent. This reverend divine and industrious compiler is, we believe, unknown to either of our learned universities; and indeed from the style of his works we should almost question whether he ever had any academical education at all. His literary family, however, indicates sufficient industry, whatever deficiency there may be in learning or genius. His works are, Two Dissertations on the Mint and Coins of the Episcopal Palatines of Durham, 4to. 1780-Genealogical History of the present Royal Families of Europe, 8vo. 1781.-Memoirs of the Protectorate House of Cromwell, 2 v. 8vo. 1784-Memoirs of the House of Medici, 1797.-Lives of the English Regicides, 2 v. 8vo. 1797.-History of the Colege of Arms. 4to. 1805.-Biographical History of England, In continuation of Granger, 2 v. 8vo. 1809.

Dr. North was bred at Eton, from whence he removed to All Souls' College, Oxford, where he obtained a fellowship, and took his master's degree in 1766. In 1770, he was preferred to a canonry of Christ Church, and the same year took his doctor's degree in civil law. A few months afterwards he was made Dean of Canterbury, and the following year, on the translation of Bishop Egerton, he was advanced to the see of Lichfield and youngest prelate known to have been Coventry, being the consecrated since the Reformation. In 1774, he was translated to Worcester, and in 1781 to Winchester.

This his time to mechanics, literature, and excellent artist was born at Plymouth in politics. His works are, 1746, and was intended by his father, a respectable watch-maker of that town, for the same line of business. An unconquerable propensity to the fine arts, however, frustrated the paternal views, and being encouraged in his inclination by the flattering notice taken of his early productions, he was led to pursue the practice of drawing and painting, with such assiduity, that Dr. John Mudge, the physician, and a friend of the family, kindly offered to recommend him as a scholar to Sir Joshua Reynolds. This proposal being gratefully accepted, and the consent of that great master obtained, Mr. Northcote repaired from Plymouth to London in 1771, and became domesticated with Sir Joshua, as a disciple, on the most agreeable terms, and to their mutual satisfaction. In May, 1776, Mr. Northcote quitted that delightful mansion, thinking it high time to do something for himself, in which idea his preceptor concurred, saying, “I hope we shall assist each other as long as we live." Our present concern is with this gentleman in his character as an author and not as a painter; we shall, therefore, only observe, that, after spending some time in the country, he set up his staff in London, to make use of a phrase of his great instructor, and there rose to the highest honours of his profession. His literary performances are, Various Papers in the Artist, vol. 1, as, No. 2. On Originality in Painting; imitators and collectors. 4. A Letter from a Disappointed Genius; Character of John Opie, R. A. 19. A Second Letter from a Disappointed Genius. 20. On the Imitation of the Stage in Painting.-In vol. 2. No. 7. The History of the Slighted Beauty, an allegory. He also wrote the Biographical Memoirs of Sir Joshua Reynolds, in the fourth number of the Fine Arts of the English School. This sketch he expanded afterwards into a substan tial volume, entitled Memoirs of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Kut. comprising anecdotes of many distine guished persons, his contemporaries, and a brief Analysis of his Discourses; to which are added, Varieties on Art, 4to. 1813.-A Supplement to the Memoirs, 4to. 1815. NORTHMORE, THOMAS, Esq. F. A. S This gentleman was born near Exeter; and educated at Tiverton school, and next at Jesus College, Cambridge, under the eccentric Gilbert Wakefield, from whom he seems to have imbibed much learning, mixed with some extravagance. Mr. Northmore took his degree of master of arts, and then retired to cultivate his paternal estate, where he has continued to reside ever since, devoting much of NOIT, GEORGE FREDERICK, D.D. late Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford, and Prebendary of Winchester.

This led to a connexion with the late Duke of Portland, whom he accompanied as private secretary to Ireland in 1782. On that occasion, however, Dr. O'Beirne obtained no preferment; but the year following his patron presented him to two valuable livings in Northumberland and Cumberland. When Earl Fitzwilliam went to Ireland he took the doctor with him as his first chaplain; soon after which he was promoted to the bishopric of Ossory, from which, on the death of Dr. Maxwell, he was translated to the see of Meath. This bishop has been distinguished as a political writer of great eminence, and it is but justice to say, that his conduct as a prelate hath been both liberal and exemplary. His publications, with and without his naine, are as follow: the admiralty at the Cape of Good Hope, The Crucifixion, a poem, 4to. 1776.-The Generous Impostor, a comedy, 8vo. 1780.-Series of Essays in a daily newspaper, under the signature of a country gentleman, 1780.-A short History of the last Session of Parliament, anonymous, 8vo.-Considerations on O'CONNOR, ARTHUR, a personage who the late Disturbances by a consistent Whig, 8vo. 1781.-Considerations on the Principles of Naval at one time contrived to render himself Discipline and Courts Martial, 8vo. 1781.--The Ways more conspicuous than usually happens of God to be vindicated only by the Word of God, even to the most violent demagogues. a sermon, 8vo. 1804.-A Charge delivered to the Born of an ancient family, descended, as Clergy of his Diocese, 8vo. 1805.-A Sermon preached they boast, from the original monarchs in the parish church of Kells, Dec. 5, 1805. - A Sermon preached in the chapel of the Magdalen of Ireland, he entered into confederacies Hospital, April 23, 1807, 8vo.-Sermons on important for the purpose of shaking off the conSubjects, with Charges, 8vo. 1813.
