DR. BURNEY.

. We have already
.announced the death of this
Gentleman, but his talents and learning render
it proper that we should pay some tribute of re-
spect to bis,character mud his Memory. He was
an excellent scholar, and well acquainted with
most of the Continental languages. His }ltsToay
OF MUSTC and MUSICAL TRAVELS are valuable
additions to 'British .Literature, &btu the know:,
ledge which they impart, and the elegance
with which they are written.. The Doctor adapted
one little drama to the English Stage, taken
from a piece of RotissEtku, and represented with
success in this country, 'under the title of The
Cunning'illan. It Was playful and .s?irited, and-
not -a mere version of the original. Dr. BURNEY
was intimately acquainted with all the distinguish-.
ed characters
,who flourished in his time,' as -well-
in other countries as in Great, Britein;. and in
habits of peculiar friendship. with Dr. don;i-Sow,
of whom he used .to relate many interesting,.
anecdotes. Indeed, we- know, .that soon after
-the death .of that Colossus of .Learniug, he had
'some thoughts of giving a memoir of
,him to the
world, but the subject was so ovei;whelnied by
various publicatic;ns, thai he relinquished his de,-
sign. The last work, the believe, of Dr. BURNEY
was a Life of the celebrated METASTASIO, a work
highly estimalAe for its, candour, information,
judgment, and taste:. In all the relations of pri-
vate life, Dr. BURNEY'S character was exemplary
as a husband, father, and ftiend. He had the
gratification in seeing in his Daughter the author
Of Inot-cd novels, deservedly. popular, particularly
her Cecilia, and in his Son one of the most ac-
complished scholars and profound -critics, of the
present day. His manners were peenliarly easy,
spirited and f4critlemanly, and he had all • 4.fie
graces of the CHESTERFIELD School, without any
of its studied formality.

medy, in which She is to perform,. will very soon,
be brought forward.
