The late Mr. Tito ‘1 AS MILLER, of linitray, in
Suffolk, was born Augost 14, 1731,; and, at the
usual period, apprenticed to a respedlable grocer in
Norwich, but, a great fondness for reading, dis-
played very early in life, induced him, on com-
mencing bus:ness for himself, in the year 17.55, to
unite bookselling with h:sother trade ; and, for the
last 30 years, be confined hispself almost entirely
to bk.( tvonrite line. Unfirtunately, he settled in
the smad retir:d town of Bungay, where the de.
:nand fi,r bnot.l was by no means adequate to the
great number of rare and valuable articies which
Mr. MILLER, for near ;:di years, was, by his natural
propensity, led to keep. lie bad also an extensive
cAleetion of expensive portraits, and nearly a cmn-
piety series of Roman and English silver and brass
e :ins. In 1795, when the fa on was very general
for tradesmen to circulate provincial half-pennies,
be had a die cast ; hut an acct-lent happening to one
of the blocks, when only YJ pieces were struck off,
h.., like a true antiquary, declined having a fresh
one made ; this c' :n, which is very finely engraved,
and bears a strong pr likeness of himself, is
joionn to 'eniictors he the name of " The Miller
lk was extremely careful into whose
bands the impressions went; and they are now be-
c.sme so rare as to produce at rates from three to
r five guineas. Had Mr. Miller, when a young man,
settkd in the metropolis, there is no doubt but his
extensive knowledge in books, and natural, unwea-
ried industry, would have led to greater pecuniary
advantages. He possessed a strung mind, with
a good mem-ry ; but his cultivated abilities were
~,11aried in the confir.cd circle in which he lived ; or,
more properly speaLing, these qualities operated
to his disadvantaged for his independent spirit could
not always submit to the Aristocracy which more
or less governs evr.r7 country town. Hence arose
occasional temporary Jissentions, by which his in-
terest as a tradesman suffered ; but his integrity,
and the firmne,s of his principles were never doubt-
ed ; and ni late years, when he LUAITIe blind, all
animosi'7 and irritability of temper ceased, and, to
the honour of the inhabitants cf Bungay (many r.f
whom could appreciate 13:s worth!, every kind at-
tention was shown him ; awl he departed this life in
the full use of nis senses to the last r nonent ni it;
pert..,tly calm, resigned ; and, the weter of shi. pa-
. gash hopes, without an enemy in the world.
