The late G. DANCE, Esca. R.A. and F.A.S.

This Gentivman was so eminently and justly
distinguished for earning, taste, and genius, as an Architect,
and for high intellectual powers and attainments, independently
of his professional excellence, that he should not be suffered
to pass into the grave without a marked tribute of respect,
esteem, and veneration for his memory. Nature had been
liberal to him in person and mind. He possessed a very hand-
some figure, a regular and expressive face ; and his eyes, in
force and lustre, almost equalled those of his friend Gan R
Mr. DANCE possessed also an understanding of a very superior
order. Ile had enriched his mind by travel, and an attentive
study of all the admirable remains of antiquity in ionic, and
throughout Italy and France. Ile was intimately acquainted
with many of the most distinguished characters in this country,
whose patronage he enjoyed in his professional capacity, and by
whom he was esteemed and admired for his learning, good hu-
mour, and all companionable excellence in private I ife. Ile was
the ready and the zealous friend of merit in whatever province
it might appear. his taste in Poetry, Painting, Sculpture,
Music, and in all the Ft): a: ARTS was pure, refined, and ex-
quisite. Ile had reached the B.lth year of his age, and had for
a few years past laboured under a lingering illness, in which he
suffered in mind more than corporally, as it prevented him from
exercising his hospitable temper, and enjoying the society of
his numerous friends, most of whom were eminent for talents,
as well as for high stations, and it may be truly said that the
country was adorned, and AECIiiTCCTCUE improved by the
science, taste, beauty, and grandeur, which characterised the
works of this truly estimable Gentleman. Mr. DANCE was the
last surviving member of the original forty loyal Academi-
cianx. It is intended that his remains should be interred in the
vaults of St. Paul's Cathedral. in what is called the Artists'
Corner, near to those of Sir CtiitlSTOi'ttEit Wit EN, and Mr.
DaxcE's• late friend Mr. RE!: s: H.:, an appropriate situation,
as he was allied in genius to both of those illustrious ornaments
of the Country.
