He received his education at the grammar-school of Armagh, and early appeared on the stage, first distinguishing himself under Mr. Digges of Edinburgh. In 1771 he acted at Dublin, in rivalship with Mossop; and having acquired considerable reputation, was engaged at Covent Garden by Mr. Colman, where he made his first appearance in 1776, as Belcour, in the WestIndian. For many years he was the most admired actor in sprightly comedy, being characterised by a vivacity and elegance of deportment in which he had no competitor among modern actors. quitted the stage in 1803, and be came a joint proprietor with Mr. Knight in the Liverpool and Manchester theatres, which flourished under their management. Mr. Lewis bore an uniformly respectable character in private and domestic life. He married Miss Leeson, of Covent Garden theatre, by whom he had a numerous family.

8. Sir Francis Bourgeois, R. A. a painter in history and landscape. He was descended from a Swiss family, but was born at London in 1756. His original destination was to the army, but having been taught to draw when a child, he became so much attached to the art, that he resolved to pursue it professionally. He was accordingly placed as a pupil with Mr. Loutherbourg, whose manner of painting he adopted, and acquired considerable reputation by his landscapes and sea-pieces. After travelling for improvement he settled in London, and rose to distinction. He was appointed painter to the King of Poland, who honoured him with the Order of Merit; and his knighthood was confirmed by his Majesty, by whom he was nominated his landscapepainter. He acquired a large collection of pictures by the will of Mr. Desenfans; these, with the bulk of his property, he has bequeathed to Dulwich college, where an addition to the gallery has been made for their reception
