At Wick, James White Esq. a character well known in the literary world, as the translator of the speeches of Mirabeau, and the author of some historical Novels entitled, Richard Coœur de Leon, Earl Strongbow, John of Gaunt, and of several poetical pieces. He was educated at the university of Dublin, was esteemed an admirable scholar, and was pofsessed of the most brilliant parts. His conduct for these four or five years past has been marked by great wildness and eccentricity. He had conceived an ardent affection for a certain young lady, who he supposed was as warmly attached to him, but he conceived some plot was contrived to wean her regard, and to fruftrate all his future prospects in life. He attributed the failure of his application for patronage from the great, as the machinations of these plotters and contrivers; and even supposed that their influence upon the booksellers prevented his literary labors from being more amply rewarded. He passed the winter of 1797 and 1798, at Bath. His means of substance were very scanty. He has been known to have denied himself animal food for months, and to have subsisted every day on a biscuit, a piece of bread, a potatoe and a glass of water. Unable to pay his lodgings and too proud to ask relief, he would many nights wander about the fields or seek repose beneath a hay-stack. He once, when almost exhausted, took refuge in an Inn at Bath, where his extraordinary conduct, and his refusing every kind of sustenance, alarmed the mistress and induced her to apply to the magistrates, who humanely ordered him to be placed under the care of the parish officers. Instead of appreciating these precautionary means, as he ought to have done, he complained in his letters "of the undue interference of magisterial authority and the unconftitutional infringment of the liberty of the subject. On the I Ith of March MONTHLY MAG. NO. XLIV. 341 he went to Wick, and there remained that night; after breakfast the next day he went to Bath, and returned again in the evening. Wednesday being an unpleasant day, he remained in doors, amusing himself with such publications as the house afforded. On Friday night he ordered fome tea and retired to bed about nine. Not arifing at his usual hour, the miftress of the house sent up to him, when he complained of a flight indisposition, and passed the whole day in his bed, refusing to take the least nutriment. On the evening of the following day he expired.-One shilling and two fixpences was all the pecuniary store he had; and as he died amongst strangers, he was buried at the expence of a perfon to whom he was utterly unknown; and though an admirable scholar, possessed of most brilliant parts, and generally admired for the elegance and strength of his language, he now lies buried in Abson Church yard, without a ftone, or letter to mark the place of his interment.
