kins, with whose family he had become connected; he afterwards went to Paris, to profit by what might be learnt in the French school of surgery. In 1775, an invalid gentleman was intrusted to his care, with whom he continued two years on the Continent. On his return, he applied himself to his professional pursuits in London, where he proposed to settle; but his love of literature, and general knowledge, making him desirous of going again abroad, he went, in 1783, as surgeon on board an East Indiaman to China, and remained absent from England about three years. It was at this period that he learned Persian; his beautiful and faithful translations of some select Odes from Hafiz were a proof of the proficiency he made in that language. On his return to England, he declined entering into any medical engagements, that he might attend his brother and his family to the Continent, whither, on account of health, they were obliged to go. He came back in 1788; and then Dr. Warren urged him to graduate in medicine. He did so with distinguished honour; and soon after, at Dr. Warren's recommendation, attended the then duchess of Devonshire and lady Duncannon, as their physician, to the Continent. With that family he remained connected, more or less, till 1793; when he came back to the Hot-wells, the place of his predilection. During the last eight years of his life, he suffered from a painful state of paralysis, amounting to hemiplegia. This confined him almost wholly to the house. His mental faculties, however, were active; and he amused himself in revising his unfinished compositions, and in arranging plans for new works.

The following list of his works will shew the extent of his knowledge and the versatility of his talents: "Alonzo; or the Youthful Solitair; a poetic tale," 4to. 1772. "Basia; or a poetic translation of the Kisses of Johannes

Secundus," 8vo. 1775. "Leonora ; an Elegy on the Death of a Young Lady," 4to. 1775. "Sonnets and Odes from the Italian of Petrarch," 8vo. 1777.

Previous to his last illness, he had finished a complete "Translation of Petrarch's Sonnets, Canzoni, and Triumphs, with copious Notes, as well historical as critical and explanatory; with a Life, and a Dissertation on the

29. At Brussels, whither he retired after the restoration of Louis XVIII., being included in the decree passed against the regicides, Jaques Louis David, the celebrated painter. This artist, who may be regarded as the chief of the modern French school, was born at Paris,

in 1756. At the age of eighteen he went to Rome, where he continued several years. Among his early performances of any repute were his "St. Roche healing the sick during a pestilence," and "Belisarius begging alms." In 1784 he again visited Italy, where he produced his "Horatii," which at once stamped his reputation, and seemed to create a new æra in the art. The fame he thus acquired was increased by his picture of "Brutus and his sons," and the "Death of Socrates." Shortly after this period, he took an active part in the trou bles of the Revolution; and during the Reign of Terror, was one of the most furious of the Jacobins, and voted for the death of the king. His pencil, too, was devoted to representing many of the political scenes and events of the day; and he gave a variety of designs for national monuments. Among these projects was one for a colossal figure representing the French people. On the fall of Robespierre, he was in great personal danger; and nothing but his great reputation as an artist could have averted his death on the scaffold. After an interval of complete inactivity he produced his picture of the "Rape of the Sabines," in 1799; and in 1804 was appointed first painter to the emperor, by whom he was commissioned to paint the ceremony of his coronation, and other subjects. After the return of Napoleon from Elba, he received particular notice from him. As an artist, David has the merit of having rescued painting from the insipid unnatural style which had so long prevailed in France; but in attempting to restore classical design and simplicity, he exaggerated them into coldness and theatrical affectation. Latterly he altered his system entirely; for instead of the severe and rigid manner which distinguishes his Horatii and Brutus, he copied nature, without attempting to refine upon his models.
