Sir Benjamin employed the four first leers of his abode at Munich in acquiring the political and sta tistical knowledge necessary for realizing the plans which his philanthropy suggested to hint for im proving the condition of the lower orders. He did not negle& in the mean time his favourite studies; and it was in the year 1786, in a journey to Man helm, that lie made his first experiment' on heat. Political and literary honouts paired• in open him during that nu:Irv:I!. In 1785 'he was made Cham berlain of the Eleftor, and admitted a member of the academies of science of Munich and Manheim. In 1786 he received from the King of Poland the order of St. Stanislaus ; in 1787 he made a journey i to Prussia, during which he was eleted a member i of the academy of Berlin. In 1788 he was ap- I pointed Major-General of cavalry and l'rivy Coun- . senor of State. He was placed at the head of the war department, and particularly charged with the execution of the plans which he had proposed for improving the state of the Bavarian army. At last, the following year (178 p) witnessed the accomplishment of the numerous prc a ‘a!is meditated during those which preceded. The house of in dustry of - Manheim was establistre ; c6 thrhilatids of Mulhau near Manheim, Which till thi(*tinie had been nothing but a pestilential Morass, useless for culture, and pernicious to the health of the iriliabi tants of the city, were joined together, surrounded by a mound and ditch, and transformed into a fertil garden, consecrated to the industry of the garrison. The tine establishment of the military academy of Munich was founded ; a scheme. - of military police was founded to deliver the country from the nume rous gangs of vagabonds, robbers, and beggars, who infested it ; schools of industry, belonging to every regiment, were established, to employ the wives and children of the soldiers; a veterieary school was instituted, and a stud of horses proVided for improving the breed of the country. At the beginning of the year 1790 the house of industry of Munich, that fine establishment, which the Count himself has described at length in his essays, was formed, for bettering the condition of the poor ; and mendicity was completely abolished : nor has it again made its appearance in Bavaria, since that memorable epoch. The beautiful Eng- lish garden of Munich was begun, and military gardens established in all the garrisons. The So vereign expressed his obligation for these numerous services, by conferring on Sir Benjamin the rank of Lieutenant-General of his armies, and giving him a regiment of artillery. . In 1791 he was created a Count of the Holy Ro man Empire, and honoured with the order of the White Eagle. He employed that year alid the fol lowing in completing his projects, in reilistring the obstacles by which attempts were made to interrupt their progress; in a word, since the truth should be spoken, in resisting the attacks of enemies who en vied his success. This species of labour, and the anxiety of mind inseparable from it, impaired his health to such a degree, that his physicians declared that his life was in danger, unless he retired for some time from business, and had recourse to a change of climate. He obtained permission from the Eleaor to take a journey into Italy; and before leaving him, communicated, in a detailed account, the principal results of his four years admieistratiou, compared with the four years which had preceded his entrance into office. The journey lasted sixteen months. tonnt Rum ford, after having travelled over all Italy, and a part of Switzerland, returned to Bavaria in the month of August 1794. He had been attacked with a dangerous illness in Naples, and his slow recovery did not permit him to resume, on his return, the transanion of the business of his department, over which he contented himself -with exercising a general superintendence. He laboured in his closet ; and it was at this time that he prepared' the first five of the essays which he has published, • -ao, In the month of September' 179.5 he returned to England, after an absence of mote than eleYen . years. The principal °hie& of his journey' was to publish his essays, and to dire& the attention oi the English nation toward the plans of public and domestic eco nomy which he had conceived, and realised in Ger many. One of the most respeCtable men in England, Lord Pelham, now one of the ministers, was then Secretary of State in Ireland. The Count complied , with his invitation in the spring of - 1796, - and took that occasion of visiting 'hat interesting country. Ile introduced, at Dublin, several important im provements into the hospitals and houses of in dustry, and left there models of a number of useful mechanical inventions. They were tl i.! first objeets which struck my attention when I visited the Society of Dublin. Every testimony of honotir and . gratitude was Lavished upon him in this Country. The Royal Act- demy of Ireland, the Society for the Encourage meut of Arts and Manufattures, both iteete , A - him an honorary member : • and - after !laving left the country, be received a letter of thauks - TroM - the grand jury of the county; of Dublin, ad Official let ter from the Lord Mayor of the - city, and one from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. These pies ',..,' all of which I have seen, are filled with th e 'mast flat tering expressions of esteem and of gfatitu:i e. On his return to Lnriclota he clttetlea' the ahem- , i tions, which had been adopted, on hie recommen dation, in the Foundling-hospital. andhe presented to the Board of Agriculture several ateteith?esi as me- 1 dels for imitation. The philanthropic activity which dist nt . edified this epoch of his lite manifests itself in dvay'fdrni. It was at this time he placed in the English and Ame rican funds, two sums of Pfeil sterling each, to establisha premium to be given every bees-lears to the author of she most useful discovery; - dude re spOlively in Europe or America, on light, or heat. The premium is a gold medal worth 1500 francs. It must be adjudged in Europe by the Royal Society of London, and in America by the Academy of Sciences of America. Nothing seemed sufficient to withdraw bins Irma ' these tranquil and important occupations, when the events of war called upon him to disphitY his military talents for the service of his ildopted;ceenitye Ge neral Moreau having crossed the-Rlsia. and; de feated several bodies of soldiers, who disputed with him 'ts passage. nivanced by - nick marches to -Ba -----....—....... varia. Count Rumford, 011 receiving this intelli : • gence, immediately set oast to join the Eleaor. His arrival at Munich was eight days previous to the epoch when the sovereign was called upon. to quit his residence, and to take refug e i in Saxony. Rum ford remained in Munich, with nstrultions from the Elector to wait events, and to act according to the exigency of circumstances ; they were not long in requiring his interference. After the battle of Freid berg, the Austrians, repulsed by the French, fell back upon Munich : the gates of the city were shut against them. They marched round it, passed the Inn, by the bridge, and posted themselves on the ether side of the river, on a height which com manded the bridge and the town. There they ereaeil batteries, and firmly waited far the French. In this sintation, some inconsiderate transactions which happened in Munich, were interpreted by the Austrian general as an insult pointed against him self, and he demanded an explanation of theni from the council of regency, threatening to order the town to be fired upon, if a single Frenchman enter ed the city. At this critical moment, the Count made use of the eventual orders of the Elector, to take the command in chief of the Bavarian forces. His firmness and presence of mind awed both par ties; neither the French nor the Austrians entered Munich; and that city escaped all the dangers with which it had been threatened. On the return of the Eledor, the Count was placed at the head of the department of the general police in Bavaria. The services which he rendered in that capacity, thouh less brilliant than military exploits, have been neit her less valuable, nor less conspicuous. But the excessive labour to which his zeal and acti vity betrayed him, the opposition which he often experienced in the exercise of his ,office, again af felted his health to such a degree, as threatened his life. The Elector, impressed with esteem and gra titude towards him, wished not to allow him to sink under a labour too severe for him, and desired to find the means of procuring him the repose which he required, without altogether depriving himself of his services : he appointed him his Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of London. But the rules of England not permit ting a subjeß of the King to be accredited as a fo reign Minister, the Count has not exercised that office, and has lived, since his return to England in 1798, as a private individual. Meanwhile it was reported in America that he had quitted Bavaria for ever, and the Government of the United States addre ssed to him, thrcugh the medium of the American Ambassador at London, a formal and official invitation to return to his na tive country, where an honourable establishment was destined for him. The offer was accompanied With the most flattering assurances of consideration and confidence. He replied, declaring at the same time his profound gratitude for such a mark of es teem, " That engagements, rendered sacred and in violable by &Teat obligations, did not permit him to dispose of himself in such a manner as to be able to accept of the offer which was made to him." There remains not, surely, in that reciprocal language, the least mark of enmity ; and the Historical Soci ety of Massachusets, on eleeting Count Rumford a member, communicated to him, by their president, about the same time, their unanimous desire of seeing him return to his own country, and take up his re sidence among them. His answer, which is to be found in the American papers of that time, was very much admired. Toward the autumn of 1800, Count Rumford went to Scotland. The magistrates of Edinburgh paid him a visit of ceremony ; gave a public dinner on his account, and to these marks of distinction ad ded the freedom of the city, conceived in terms the most flattering. They consulted him on the means of improving the existing clutritable Institutions, and on the measures proper for abolishing mendicity. The work was undertaken without loss of time, and that great enterprize was finished in a few months with complete success. In Edinburgh beggars are no longer seen, and all the poor fit for work are be come industrious. The Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the College of Physicians, elected him at the same time, respectively, an honorary member, and the University bestowed upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. The diploma was inserted in the Edinburgh newspapers.; it is written in the most elegant Latin, and recounts shortly and truely the obligations of humanity towards my illustrious friend. He employed himself during his stay in that city in superintending the execution, in the great esta blishment of Heriot's I lc spi tal, of the improvements which he has invented with regard to the employ ment of fuel in the preparation of food. I myself have heard the high approbation with which the cook of this hospital speaks of these improvements. 1 have before me a mote respectable testimony, and in approbation a which the grounds are better ex pressed, on the same subject. It is a letter, lately received from Mr. Jackson, one of the chief ma nagers of the hospital. to the author of these ins- provements. The following is a copy of it siv DEA a siR, Edinburgh, joy 21,.1501. " In orsier to afford you the most ekaft informa tion with regard to the result of the reparations made in Heriot's Hospital, I have thou *t it better to Ist a considerable time elapse, that their utility might be the more confirmed. I have now the satisfac tion of infcirnaing you, that an experience of six months proves with certainty, that the same opera ions are executed with a sixth part only of the fuel which was employed before. The saving, however, will be only two thirds, because the price of charred coal (soak) is nearly double that of the fuel which was used before. I assure you too, with much pleasure, that the vkluals ate much better dressed than before, and with one half less trouble to. the servants. In a word, I cannot express to you the convenience, the neatness, and the saving, which distinguish the improvements introduced into the hospital under your direEtion. The kitchen, the washing room, and the drying room, are, so admi rably contrived, that, in my humble opinion, it would be impossible to improve them. The Lord Provost and the Magistrates join me in acknowledgments, &c. a J A MIS JACKIJN." • . -c The Royal and - lnuarian Societies have ad - .
