YATE, WALTER HONYWOOD, Esq. late of St. John's College, Oxford, a justice of the peace, and deputy lieutenant of the county of Gloucester. This gentleman though a great enemy to public corruption, and a zealous advocate for parliamentary reform, was, a few years since, divorced at the suit of his wife, on a charge of adultery and cruelty. He has published A Catalogue of the Curiosities in his Museum, 8vo, 1801.-Political Arguments in favor of Parliamentary Reform, 8vo. This was written by Capt. Ashe, who

YATES, Rev. RICHARD, M. A. F.S.A. chaplain of Chelsea Hospital, rector of Asher, and alternate preacher at the Philanthropic Chapel, St. George's Fields. He was formerly of Jesus College, Cambridge, and has been many years an active promoter of the Literary Fund, of which he is at this time one of the treasurers. Some time since he circulated proposals for "Memoirs of Public Charities; or an Historical Illustration of the Charitable

Institutions in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, with Anecdotes of their Founders and most active Supporters:" but this design we believe has never been completed, which is rather to be lamented, as such a work properly executed could not fail of proving highly useful. His publications are

YOUNG, ARTHUR, Esq. F.R.S. and secretary to the board of agriculture. He was born at Bradfield Hall, in Suffolk, the paternal estate consisting of about two hundred acres of land, on which the family have resided above two centuries. The subject of the present article was a younger son, and being intended for trade, was apprenticed to a wine merchant, his commercial pursuits were changed for at Lynn. About the year 1761, however, those of agriculture, being called to the

management of the farm at Bradfield. Here he experienced many losses and disappointments owing to his inexperience and propensity to new theories and projects: the event of which was a temporary removal from the estate. He now took a farm in Hertfordshire near North Mimms, where he made numerous experiments, but after residing there about nine years he found his embarrassments increase, in consequence of which he returned to Bradfield Hall, and his mother dying soon after he came into full possession of the estate. He now commenced his career as an author, and an agricultural tourist, beginning with his travels in Ireland, which he completely surveyed in successive visits from 1776 to 1779. In 1784, he began his well known Anuals of Agriculture, a work which abounds with valuable information, on a vast variety of subjects connected with rural economy and topography. In 1787, Mr. Young made an excursion to France, in which journey he was accompanied by M. Lazowski, and the Duke de la Rochefoucault. He returned to that country in 1789, and completed his agricultural survey, of which he published an account. The intermediate space between this period and his appointment as secretary to the Board of Agriculture, was filled up by a variety of pursuits of practical utility; being either engaged upon his own farm, or in making observations and improvements in different parts of the kingdom. When Sir John Sinclair succeeded in prevailing on Mr. Pitt to establish the board, he had also interest enough to secure the nomination of Mr. Young to the place of secretary, with a salary of four hundred pounds a year, and this office he has held with credit ever since. Waiving all observations on the utility of such an institution itself, or of the general conduct of the board; it is but justice to say, that the secretary has been indefatigable in his exertions for the accomplishment of the views which constituted the ostensible grounds of this legislative measure. Mr. Young has personally made and published several surveys, and he has been the instrument of adopting many excellent regulations and improvements, particularly with respect to the breed and management of cattle. Yet it is somewhat extraordinary, that so zealous a friend to new discoveries should have uniformly, and rather pertinaciously, opposed the practice of the "drill husban

dry," even after the importance and benefit of that mode of cultivation has been clearly ascertained. The publications of Mr. Young, without enumerating his various communications through the Annals of Agriculture, and other miscellaneous collections, are as follows: The Farmer's Letters to the People of England, 8vo. 1767, 2d edit. in 2 v. with this title, "The Farmer's Letters to the Landlords of Great Britain," 8vo. 1771. -A six weeks' Tour through the Southern Counties of England and Wales, 8vo. 1768; 2d edit. 1769.—On

Since the peace this reverend patriot has published a declaration in the newspapers, saying that he has purchased lands in the Crimea where no tax-gatherer is seen, and inviting his countrymen to emigrate with him to that blessed region. His performances are : General Report on Inclosures, 8vo. 1807.-A Survey of the Agriculture of Sussex, 8vo. 1803.

YOUNG, THOMAS, M.D. F.R.S. and Physician to St. George's Hospital. This valuable writer received his medical education partly at Gottingen and partly at Edinburgh where he took his doctor's degree with great credit. On coming to London he became lecturer at the Royal Institution, but relinquished that situation when he obtained his appointment at the Hospital, to the duties of which he pays the most assiduous attention. Dr. Young has numerous papers in the Philosophical Transactions, besides which he has been an occasional correspondent in the Gentleman's Magazine, Nicholson's Journal and other periodical works. His distinct publications are these:

In 1760 he was elected into one of Lord Craven's scholarships, along with Mr. Joah Bates, celebrated afterwards for his skill in music. The year following Mr. Zouch took his degree of Bachelor of Arts, and was classed as the third Wrangler. Having been chosen fellow of his College in 1763, he was appointed assistant tutor, which office he discharged with extraordinary credit, though his assiduity so much impaired his health that he was obliged to quit the University: on which his College presented him in 1770 to the rectory of Wycliffe in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In this country retirement he continued many years, performing the office of a parish priest with great diligence, and augmenting his knowledge of natural history. His botanical excursions in a pleasant and romantic part of Yorkshire, contributed not a little to invigorate his constitution. By the death of his elder brother, the Rev. Henry Zouch, in 1795, he succeeded to an estate at Sandal, where he now resides. On the demise of Dr. Smith, the Master of Trinity College, one of the most learned mathematicians of his age, he was requested by the vice-master and senior fellows to

having married a lady of fortune, he was
thereby enabled to purchase the valuable
situation of Clerk of the Rules in the
Court of King's Bench, with a condition
that in the event of his demise the place
should devolve to his brother, which it
did shortly afterwards. Mr. Charles Ab-
