THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, For DECEMBER, 1814. Mr. URBAN, Dec. 2. T is an old, but just observation, that the sepulchral inscriptions on the walls of our solemn Temples too often exhibit glaring indications of the pride and vanity of venal Writers and biassed Relatives. Surely from such places, devoted to religious worship, flattery and mendacity, as well as the false deities of the heathen world, should be totally excluded. I trust the Epitaphs contained in my former Letter were free from exagge rated praise or superfluous panegyrick. I herewith transmit three others, as a verse may frequently produce more effect than a sermon*, and promote, in some degree, what all men should ardently desire, the essential happi ness of the human race.

Account of the Proceedings of the Class of the Fine Arts, belonging to the ROYAL INSTITUTE OF FRANCE, for the Year 1814; by JOACHIM LE BRETON, Permanent Secretary to that Class, Member of the Class for Antient History and Literature, and also of the Legion of Honour. Read in the Public Sitting, on Sa turday the 1st of October, 1814. THE Correspondence of this Class evidently proves, that, even during the storms of the Political World, the Arts, Sciences, and Literature, prevent prevent Nations from entirely breaking in sunder their mutual ties of union and esteem towards each other. The well-informed and sensible Dr. Barney, the celebrated Painter Benjamin West, President of the Royal Academy, Mr. Fuseli, Professor in the same Academy, have, as far as circumstances would allow, kept up these friendly relations with this Class; and, through its medium, with the Arts in France. At the same time, the man most esteemed in Science, Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society, as well as several other English Sçavans and Literati, were corresponding with the other Classes of the Institute. One of them, Mr. James Forbes, has given to all the Classes a most honourable testimony of his remembrance, in presenting them with his magnificent work, intituled, “Oriental Memoirs," in four volumes, 4to. embellished with 93 engravings of subjects, selected from several thousand original drawings, sketched in the author's travels, and particularly during a residence of eighteen years in the East Indies: Science, History, and the Fine Arts, have received with the distinction it deserved this interesting result of the zeal and researches of Mr. Forbes, as also the warmth of his noble feelings, so well expressed in his Preface, and in his Letter conveying the present of this work to the French Institute, which had fortunately been the means of obtaining his liberty from the French Government*, &c. &c. the late William Wogan, of Little Ealing, in Middlesex, esq. a truly learned and devout man, and author of an “Essay on the proper Lessons,” would give some account of him through the medium of your Publication. Having been chiefly abroad since that time, and not having regularly perused your Work, I am ignorant whether or not the request has been complied with. If it should not, I trust the following, though somewhat imperfect, account of him, from what I have been able to collect, may not be deemed unacceptable. I did make some inquiry at the time; and particularly from a late excellent and worthy friend, Francis-Edwin Stanhope, esq. father to the present Admiral Sir H. E. Stanhope, bart.; but my departure abroad, shortly after, prevented me from exerting myself in the inquiry in the manner Ĭ should have wished. Mr. Stanhope was the only person then living, I believe, except Lady Catherine, his wife, that was personally acquainted with Mr. Wogan. In addition to other information which I derived from conversation with Mr. Stanhope concerning him, I send you the following extract of a Letter from Mr. S. on the subject, shortly after the request appeared in one of your Numbers. He observes: "A sad fire destroyed all Mr. Wogan's letters to me upon my entrance into life; and, though the matter of them is, I trust, irradicably engraven on my heart, yet neither my head or memory is equal to doing them the smallest justice by recollection. I have strictly inquired, but with little success, of my worthy friend Mr. Griffith, and my dear cousin Southby †, with whom I sup "Mr. James Forbes was a prisoner at Verdun in 1894. At the solicitation of the Institute, he obtained permission to return to England, in order to finish his splendid Work. This is a fortunate circumstance, of which the Institute is proud; and which it has enjoyed on several occasions. In this it only imitates the example set by several English Sçavans, and particularly by Sir Joseph Banks, even during the most critical periods of the French Revolution. Nine years afterwards, on the publication of the "Oriental Memoirs," the honourable Author has brought to the recollection of the Institute the testimonies of esteem and interest which he had received from it, on the occasion above alluded to.-Paris, Nov. 10,"1814,” . . + Mrs. Southby was a Miss Aspinal; she died in 1806. With her father Mr. Wogan was, in some way or other, connected in a banking-concern. Mr. A. failed, and involved Mr. W. in a considerable sum of money. His regard for the family, however, caused him, at his own cost, to fit out, in a very handsome manner, for India, the three Misses Aspinal, daughters of his unfortunate friend. These Ladies all married extremely well in India; at Madras, I believe. One married Mr. Southly, another Mr. Prince, and a third the late Sir Thomas Rumbold, Governor of Madras. Mrs. Southby's daughter married a near relation of the celebrated Kirs. Montague. posed, |
