​STUART. (Commander, 1827. f-p., 18; h-p., 28.)
Richard Stuart entered the Navy, 27 Jan. 1801, as A.B., on board the Alecto sloop, Capt. Robt. O’Brien, lying off Lymington. He removed, in the following month, to the Trent 36, Capts. Sir Edw. Hamilton and Chas. Brisbane, employed at first on the coast of France and then in the West Indies, where, and in the Channel, we find him, from April, 1802, until Jan. 1808, employed as Midshipman (a rating he had previously attained) and Master’s Mate in the Goliath 74, Capts. C. Brisbane and Robt. Barton, Penelope 36, Capt. Wm. Robt. Broughton, and Caesar 80, flag-ship of Sir Rich. John Strachan. In the Goliath he witnessed the capture, 28 June, 1803, and 11 and 18 Aug. 1805, of La Mignonne of 16 guns and 80 men. La Faune of 16, and La Torche of 18 guns. He was nominated, 23 Jan. 1808, Acting-Lieutenant of the Cumberland 74, Capt. Hon. Philip Wodehouse, on the Mediterranean station; was confirmed to that ship 14 June, 1809; and was subsequently appointed – 21 Aug. and 26 Dec. 1811, to the Audacious 74 and Castilian 18, Capts. Donald Campbell and David Braimer, employed in the North Sea and Downs and on the coast of Ireland – 12 March, 1814, to the Dauntless 18, Capt. Daniel Barber, whom he accompanied to the coast of North America – 6 Oct. following, to the Centurion 50, commanded at first by Capt. David Scott, as flag-ship on the latter station of Rear-Admiral Edw. Griffith, and next, from 27 March, 1815, until 13 July, 1816, by himself – and, 10 Jan. 1825, to the command of the Starling 10 on the Portsmouth station. On the night of 31 Oct. 1809 Mr. Stuart, then in the Cumberland, served with the boats of a squadron under Lieut. John Tailour at the capture and destruction, after a fearful struggle and a loss to the British of 15 killed and 55 (inclnding himself slightly) wounded, of the French store-ship Lamproie of 16 guns and 116 men, bombards Victoire and Grandeur, and armed xebec Normande, with a convoy of seven merchant-vessels, defended by numerous batteries, in the Bay of Rosas. In the Castilian he contributed, in company with the Rinaldo and Bermuda sloops, to the capture, under the fire of a battery near Boulogne, of the (lately British) brig-of-war Apelles. He was promoted from the Starling to the rank of Commander 12 March, 1827, and has since been on half-pay. Agents – Messrs. Ommanney.

​WARE. (Lieut., 1816. f-p., 10; h-p., 30.)
Charles Beamish Ware, born in 1792, is third son of the late Thos. Ware, Esq., of Woodfort, near Mallow, co. Cork, by Mary, second daughter of Wm. Beamish, Esq., 11. N., of Willis Grove, co. Cork; and brother-in-law of the late Major Du Cane and the late Lieut.-Colonel Alfred Geo. Schreiber.
This officer entered the Navy, 1 Aug. 1807, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Donegal 74, Capt. Pulteney Malcolm, stationed off Rochefort. He served from March, 1808, until April, 1811, part of the time as Midshipman, in the Implacable 74, Capts. Thos. Byam Martin, Philip Pipon, Geo. Chas. Mackenzie, and Geo. Cockburn; during the next 17 months he was employed under the officer last mentioned and Capts. Wm. Shepheard, Joshua Sydney Horton, and Wm. Hanwell, in the Alfred 50 and Grampus 50, at the defence of Cadiz; he then, in Aug. 1812, joined the Marlborough 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Cockburn (the latter had been promoted to Flag-rank), lying at Spithead; and in the following month he removed to the Aboukir 74, Capts. Thos. Browne, Geo. Parker, and Norborne Thompson. In the Implacable, under Capt. Martin, he took part, 26 Aug. 1808, in a gallant action of 20 minutes with the Russian 74-gun ship Sewolod, which was completely silenced, and in the end, with the assistance of the Centaur 74, flag-ship of Sir Sam. Hood, captured and burnt in sight of the whole Russian fleet near Rogerswick, after a total loss to the enemy of 303 men, and to the Implacable, individually, of 6 killed and 25 wounded. Under Capt. Cockburn he accompanied, in the same ship, an expedition sent to Quiberon Bay to co-operate with the Baron de Kolli in an attempt to liberate Ferdinand VII. of Spain from his confinement at Valençay. After visiting Cadiz, the Implacable escorted two line-of-battle ships, of 120 guns each, to the Havana, and then proceeded to Vera Cruz, whence she returned to Cadiz with 2,000,000 dollars. In the Aboukir Mr. Ware united, we believe, in the defence of Riga and in the operations of April, 1814, against Genoa. He continued employed in her, as Master’s Mate, until Sept. 1815; and in the course of that month and of the following Dec. he joined, as Admiralty-Midshipman, the Cadmus 10, Capt. John Gedge, in the North Sea, and Leander 50, Capts. Wm. Skipsey and Edw. Chetham. For his conduct in the latter ship at the bombardnient of Algiers he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant 16 Sept. 1816. He has since been on half-pay.

​WARNER. (Commander, 1821.)
Arthur Lee Warner died in 1848. He was son, we believe, of the late Henry Lee Warner, Esq., of Walsingham Abbey, co. Norfolk, who assumed the surnames and arms of Lee-Warner, in lieu of his patronymic, Woodward, on inheriting the extensive estates of his cousin, Henry Lee-Warner, Esq., of Walsingham Abbey.
This officer entered the Navy, 22 Oct. 1804, on board the Princess of Orange 74. He served afterwards in the Nassau 64, Kent 74, Nymphen 36, and Defiance and Vigo 74’s; and on 6 Dec. 1813, he was made Lieutenant, we think, into the Antelope 50, Capt. Sam. Butcher. His next appointments were, 21 Sept. and 3 Oct. 1815, to the Amphion 32 and Magicienne 42, in the latter of which ships he continued employed, in the manner shown in our memoir of her Captain, John Brett Purvis, until paid off in July, 1819. He was confirmed a Commander 22 Nov. 1821 (a few months after he had been ordered to act as such) in the Esk 20, on the West India station, whence he returned in 1824. He remained thenceforward on half-pay.

# A Poetic Survey Round Birmingham/Introduction

Introduction.
Tantum modo incepto opus est: cætera res expediet.
Sallust.
When Works of Genius claim the votive lay, Where shall the Muse her first devotion pay? Or how, when once she takes the pen in hand, Her course pursue? or where attempt to stand?
Me thinks I hear dame Prudence, whisp'ring, say, 'Forego thy task, forbear the votive lay; 'A work like thine requires more skill and wit, 'To wiser heads the arduous task submit.'
To what she whispers, freely would I yield, If any one, besides, would take the field. Full many, equal to the theme, I find, But none, to undertake it, seems inclin'd. Oft have I urg'd, but urg'd, alas! in vain, None, yet, has dar'd to 'tempt th' advent'rous strain .
The task be mine—If honor, forth, it calls, That honor on the Arts, and Artists, falls; I seek no praise, to plaudits lay no claim, (My pen, I fear, will never raise my fame,) But rest contented, hoping to produce A work of novelty, and general use.
No high-flown metaphors shall lead the Muse In mazy labyrinth, her way to lose, Or soar, on eagle wings, with vain pretence, But, in plain language—thus the work commence.
# A Poetic Survey Round Birmingham/Address

Address to the Reader.
Ubique patriam, reminisce.
Believe me, I think, some Apology's due, Of course, Candid Reader, I'll make one to you, Tho' Critics may cavil, for ever and ever, I dread not their frown, nor solicit their favor.
Then, as for my rhyming—in sooth, you must know it, I never pretended to be a great poet, I write not for bread, and care little for pelf, But scribble, to please my good Friends and myself.
Too partial, perhaps, to my Writings, of late, They urg'd me to publish—The Orphan Boy's Fate; I did as they wish'd, and the constant demand For the poor little Boy, whom all took by the hand, So flatter'd my hopes, that, to mend his condition, I publish'd a Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Edition.
But, believe me, I am not so fond of the treasure I gain by the work, as the ultimate pleasure It gives me to find, both the high and the low With sympathy melt, with compassion o'erflow; And children, with sweet pearly drops in each eye, Lament, whilst they read, his hard fate with a sigh.
Engagements in bus’ness, fill most of my time, And little, indeed, can I trifle with rhyme; But having invented a mode grand and new, T' exhibit the Birmingham Trades at a view, I thought a Description, in brief, of the place, Some Strangers might please, to my Townsmen do grace, And, though it be told, in a plain, simple way, May act as a Guide, when they take a survey.
Eight hours every day my Museum I 'tend, To wait on each Traveller, Stranger, or Friend. To design Works of Fancy, and Sketches to make, You'll allow in each day a few moments will take; Some scores of young Artists, with hearts full of joy, If trade’s brisk or dull, thus have constant employ! And ev'ry day teems with some works rare and new, Which, gratis, to all, I exhibit to view.
Domestic affairs seldom trouble my head, (My partner, for life, in all those takes the lead;) Bu tmy children to teach, moral lessons impart, Of course, as a parent, lies nearest my heart: Some hours in a week, then, I hope you'll agree, At least, to that purpose, devoted should be.
Arrange ev'ry order, sum up each account, You'll, surely, allow, to some hours must amount; And tradesmen must own, that no time should be lost The ledger to keep, and the daybook to post; Correspondents to answer; each invoice o'erhaul, Be pleas'd, Candid Reader, to know—I do all!
Of time I've but little to spare for inditing, Let candour excuse, then, all faults in my writing.

# A Poetic Survey Round Birmingham/Inference

Ideal Inference.
This Book, perhaps, may soon its way explore, And find a welcome, on each Foreign shore; Perhaps thro' Europe may, in time, be spread, Or by the tawny African be read:
Its novelty may strike, perhaps it may, In time, reach Borneo, Pekin, or Bombay; At either India, may, perhaps, be found, Or at Kamschatka seen, or Nootka Sound.
Ev’n Kings and Princes, here may deign to look, Or smiles of British Beauties grace the book: My Learned Countrymen and Sages rare, The whole design, perhaps, may scan with care; And whilst each trophied emblem they peruse, May feel half tempted to forgive the Muse, Nay, Foreign Merchants, when they this look o'er, To view this Place, may quit their Native Shore; And when 'The Toy Shop of the World' they see, May own (O! vain surmise) 'twas all thro' me!
In regions yet unknown, or lands remote, The Natives, thus, may hear of Vulcan's spot; And whilst, with wonder, they each print survey, Some information of the Arts convey;
For whilst, with rapture fraught, they this explore, And view such sights as ne'er were seen before, Some Circumnavigators may, ere long, Hear Birmingham extoll’d in Savage Song; And when some progress in the Arts they've made, Can tell who form'd the Hoe, the Axe, the Spade; Or when their great utility they feel, And learn the use of Iron and of Steel, In extacy, may cry, enrapt with wonder, 'Dese English make de Guns dat roar like tunder; 'De Sword, de Lance, de Hatchet and de Spear, 'All dat be grand, and Bir—ming—ham, be dere.'
And when, in mirrors, they themselves behold, Dress'd out with amber beads, with pearls or gold, With varnish'd cheeks, of ochre, or red clay, Like Chimney Sweeps, deck'd out on first of May, With bracelets for their Thighs, their Arms, their Toes, Or gaudy pendants for their Ears or Nose; Each martial Chief, each sable colour'd Squaw, Won't cry, in broken French, 'Me nong-tong paw, But cry, in broken English, '0, Manne, 'Dat Englan be grand place—me go an zee.'
The end.
