given by the Rev. B J. Tennear of Wineherer, and
the subject was "Chatterton, the charity boy of Bristol"
Ti,. Rev. J. Maher, presided, se usual, and there was a
large anendanos. The lecturer sknelied in an in-
I ten sting mviner the melancholy brief history of the
Ittartellousbiy eoet Chatterer. With • mind matured
in bratty b.yand that of the majority of men,
while he had aimircaly pored the years of infra,. he had
se •ire sad prudent guide to leash him the right use of
hi. great faculties, and to moist or &ran him in choosing
out • It path for their eppliastirm, and the roma was
that he enterci upon a C•rti.r Of liter.ry and antiquation
frond which soon terminated io d.spondeer and suicide.
H.. related how Chatterton amerced pedigree,. for Br.

good priest, Thoinge Rowley. a poet, who solaced his
Dimee hours by the composition of Poems sm • variety
of aubjeets. The perebnients upon which these were
written had all the appearance of age. and the style of
composition was that of the fifteenth orrery. It is
said that be conceived the project of produaing them

age, and they led to • controversy among some
of the moat acute scholars and critics of the age that
lasted for years, and left many after all with faith in
their genuineness and antiquity. When I. his 15th
year, Chettarton was apprenticed to Mr. Lunen,
attmney at Brirol, for ern years. but it is evident
that he had the greatest contempt both for his master
and the prole•sion with which he was tionnertisd. Is
