22. Smithson Tenant, esq. F. R. S. professor of chemistry in the university of Cambridge. His death was occasioned by a fall with his horse into the fosse of a small fort near Boulogne, where he was waiting for a passage to England. Mr. Tenant, who had attained a high reputation in chemical science, was the son of the rev. Calvert Tenant, vicar of Selby, Yorkshire, where he was born in Nov. 1761. He displayed an early taste for natural and experimental philosophy, and studied chemistry under Dr. Black, at Edinburgh, where he went for the study of medicine. In 1782 he was entered of Christ's College, Cambridge, where he acquired the elementary parts of mathematics and enlarged his mind with almost every branch of general knowledge. After travelling in the continent, he was elected fellow of the Royal Society; and fixing his residence in London, he pursued his philosophical inquiries without attaching himself to any profession. In 1791 he communicated to the Society an analysis of the carbonic acid, which established his reputation as a chemist. He renewed and extended his travels abroad, and on his return took chambers in the Temple, which

were thenceforth his established residence. He took the degree of M. D. at Cambridge in 1796, and had some thoughts of practising; but possessing an independent fortune, and being very versatile in his pursuits, he avoided any absolute engagement of his time. Of his further chemical inquiries the most considerable results were, a paper on the nature of the Diamond, another on Emery, and an analysis of crude Platina. In 1804 he was honoured with the Copley medal for his discoveries in chemistry. Mr. Tenant was distinguished by a peculiar cast of character, composed of feeling and imagination, with a particular vein of humour, which rendered him singularly the delight, as well as the admiration, of his friends. His high reputation caused him to be elected to the professorship of chemistry at Cambridge in 1813, where he delivered a course of lectures, which were numerously attended. His remains were interred at Boulogne, accompanied to the grave by most of the English residents.

23. At Gottingen, Mr. Villers, author of an esteemed work on the Reformation of Luther, and other valuable publications.
