BERLAND, Esq. the Author. He was in the 85th year
of his age. His most popular Play was Ditrert
Indian, and after a loiTg interdal, his Wheel of *Huns •
was rendered hardly less popular by the acting of Mr.
KEMBLE. Mr. CUMBERLAND was universally ad-
mitted to be a profound scholar, as well as an able
writer in various departments of literature, and a poet
of no inferior class. He abounded in anei d rtes,
which he related in a terse, elegant, and pleasing
manner; and he might altogether be considered as a
distinguished ornament of British literature. He was
the son of Dr. CUMBERLAND, Bishop of Kilmore, by
the youngest daughter of the celebrated Dr. BENTLIa.
