The lift of difeafes, however, has been 1 fomewhat augmented. The different mo difications of pulmonary and catarrhal .25 diforders have been the most prevalent, 5 accompanied rather with fymptoms of .12 debility than with any ftrong tendency to -11 acute inflammatory action. In two cafes 4 of peripneumony, delirium occurred among the first fymptoms: the pulle was 8 quick, fmall, and feeble; the tongue co1 vered with a thick brown cruft: there was 4 confiderable proftration of strength, and 4 other fymptoms of a typhoid difpofition. 2 In one of the intances, the patient died 1 on the fourth day from the attack, in con1 fequence of a copious effusion of blood 5 into the cells of the lungs, giving them 2 fomewhat the appearance of liver, as was 3 afcertained by diffection.

2 No cafe of genuine typhus, however, 2 has occurred within the reporter's notice; 2 nor does any fpecies of infectious disease 3 appear to be prevalent.",

1 It has been frequently remarked, in 9 our preceding Reports, that the monthly lift of difeafes was confiderably smaller 158 than during the fame periods in former

years; and it How appears, by the an- year, 60,000 people have enjoyed the nual bills of mortality, that the deaths in benefits of health more than during the London during the year 1804 have been year 1803. Since, if we include the mild lefs by 3,000, and upwards, than in the as well as the fevere inftances of indifpopreceding year: from which it may, per- fition, in not more than one case in twenty haps, be inferred, that, during the laft or twenty-five does it terminate fatally.

At Lambeth Palace, on Friday, Jan. 18,
John Moore, D.D. Lord Archbishop of
Dr. Moore, like
Canterbury, &c. &c.
Cranmer, Parker, Abbot, and others of

the ableft and beft prelates whom the in 1783, the two prelates, Dr. Lowth and
church of England has to boast of, origi- Hurd, having declined the fee of Canter-
nally fprung from a very humble fituation bury, the former on account of his great
in life. The late archbishop was a native
of Gloucetter, where his father, a butcher,
was in fuch narrow circumfiances, that he
was unable to give his fon that liberal edu-
cation which he withed for and deferved.
He was, however, initiated in claffical
learning at the free-tchool of his native
city; and fome friends of his family having
remarked the docility of his temper and
his promifing talents, procured for him a
fubordinate fituation in Pembroke Col-
lege, Oxford, whence he afterwards re-
moved to Chrift Church. While at Col-
lege, Mr. Moore applied himself to his
udies with commendable induftry, and
was defervedly refpected for his modeft
demeanour, the regularity of his conduct,
and his contiderable claffical attainments,
During his refidence at Oxford, the fol-
lowing feemingly cafual circumftance con-
ducted Mr. Moore to a higher profpect,
and a more likely fituation than what lay
before within his view. The late Duke
of Marlborough, in confequence of his
propensity to mathematical studies, fre-
quently invited Mr. Blifs, Savilian Pro-
felor of Geometry at Oxford, and Altro-
nomer Royal, to his houfe at Blenheim,
In one of thofe vifits, the duke defired
the profeffor to recommend fome young
an qualified to act as private tutor to
the Marquis of Blandford. While Mr.
Blifs was deliberating on this propofal,
young Moore was fauntering in the park,
and as he was of the fame college with
the profeffor, who had a particular respect
for his character, Mr. Moore was recom-
mended to his grace as a proper perfon,
and fent for, and very readily accepted
the offer which was made him. It is re-
markable, that, although the duchets
would not fuffer her fon's inftructor to
dine in her preferice, yet that, when the
became a widow, the actually folicited or
courted the very fame tutor to receive her
hand.
Mr. Moore prudently declined
the acceptance of this offer, and, this ge-
Herous conduct endearing him to his pu-
pil and the whole family, every exertion
was made to fecure his promotion in the
church. As a first step, the young duke
fettled an annuity of 4001. upon Dr. Moore,
and obtained for him, in the year 1769, a
prebendary's stall in the cathedral of Dur-
ham. In 1771, the duke perfonally foli-
cited for him of the king the deanery of
Canterbury, and obtained it, and, in 1775,
Dr. Moore was made Bifhop of Bangor.
On the death of Dr. Frederick Cornwallis,

age, and the latter from a fuperior at-
tachinent to his own diocefe of Worcester,
Dr. Moore was advanced to the ne plus
ultra of ecclefiaftical diguity, which at
leat, as fome imagine, was the effect of
the fame patronage which first raised hi
in the church. His grace's conduct in
this high preferment has been very judi-
cious, temperate, and decorous; neither
fuch as to inflame the minds of diffenters
on the one hand, nor to alarm the friends
of orthodoxy on the other. He has taken
no active buttling part in political dif
putes, and has countenanced and fupport-
ed alike the extention of toleration and
epifcopacy, which have both taken place,
by relieving the catholics in England and
the appointing of bithops in America.
His grace has morcover been the uniform
friend of merit, and numerous acts of ge
nerous patronage in ght be here recorded
to his worthy praife. As Dr. Moore ad-
vanced in preferment, his attention to
every portion of his obfcure family, and
in particular to his father, who had failed
in butinels, was proportionably and ho
nourably increated. The archbishop has
only printed two fermons; the one preached
on the 30th of January, 1777, before the
Houte of Lords; and the other on the faft
day, in 1781. His grace married a filter
of Lord Auckland, by whom he has left
feveral children. Lately, Mr. Geo. Mor-
land. All that could die of this extraor
dinary painter is dead; but his works,
excepting thofe among them of a certain
defcription, which ought no longer to be
fuffered to infult the public eye, will long
furvive. Whilft any tatte for natural truth
and beautiful fimplicity hall remain a
mong men, the name and talents of Mor-
land will be confidered as honourable to
the country which formed and produced
them. Of his particular merits in imita-
tive art, it may be juftly observed that he
was the firft (or, at least, among our own
countrymen, the moft eminent) of thote
who have given the true fpirit and cha-
racter of the Britih oak; as, likewife, the
form and action of all our mot familiar
animals, in all their fubtilties and varie-
ties. It is but doing him an act of juftice,
however, to add, that he never undertook
any fubject which he did not treat with
equal fuccefs. Among his other rare qua-
lifications, he appears to have been tho
roughly acquainted with the complexion
and bias of his own genius from his very
childhood and adolefrence; fince, after
