THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, For OCTOBER, 1814. MI. URBAN, London, Oct. 9. HE very elegant Epitaph which Wm. Cole, in his copy of Mr. Bentham's " History of Ely Cathedral;" Take the uberty of inclosing to and he has particularly displayed this you, has recently been placed over the remains of the late Dr. John Price at Harlow in Essex. Dr. Price was Physician to the Forces, and for several years to the York Hospital, Chelsea. He was an excellent man, a good scholar, and had distinguished himself professionally by volunteering his survices in the Plague Hospital in Egypt, where he remained many months. This circumstance is well expressed in the composition I now send you, which is from the hand of a classical friend. Yours, &c. An old Reader and occasionul · article in the title-page and advertisements of his book, as if those notes were of greater consequence than any other parts of his publication. The Compiler tells us, he has been induced to publish this "farrago" with the pure wish, "that the author of a book which has received praise from so many quarters, should not with impunity be robbed of the reputation his labours have so well deserved." Mr. D. confesses that he has seen the edition of 1812, where my name and residence are conspicuously print ed; and he says, "the refutation of the assertion that James Bentham was not the author of the book attributed to him, could not come with a better grace from any other man than the Author's only son; whose duty it should be to remove any unfavoura. ble impressions these notes may have made on the minds of such persons as have seen, or are in possession of them." Had W. D. communicated these sen. timents by letter to me, I should have given him credit for the purity of his intentions; but, as things are, I think they are open to suspicion; and I shall dismiss him with the hope, that, if his motives for publishing the scandal and ill-nature of Mr. Cole were the reverse of what he has stated them to be, the contempt of all good men will be his reward. Fortunately, Mr. Urban, I am in possession of such letters and other documents, as, if required, would do away most effectually the attempt to deprive my Reverend Father" of the reputation his labours have so well deserved." I cannot, however, think* of encroaching upon the limits of your valuable Publication for the insertion of them. There are also many living evidences to prove that the Rev. James the hall, and not his brother, was the Author of the "History and Antiquities of Ely Cathedral;" and what is said in the Memoirs |
