The success of the brothers Finden, in working for the booksellers in the illustration of popular publications, led them at last to attempt the same thing on their own account, with the hope of more exclusively enjoying the profit of their labours. It is not often that professional men of any kind succeed when they venture to invade the province of the trader; but, in the case of the Findens, this rule, however general, did not hold good; they were the fortunate exception, so far at least as regarded their Byron Illustrations. Except in this remarkable instance, Mr. Finden and his brother were unsuccessful publishers. Buoyed up by the Byron success, Mr. William Finden launched into other expensive undertakings; and of which the most important, and perhaps the most costly, was "The Gallery of British Art." In this venture he wrecked his Byron savings, and he became a poor

man.

The last great work on which Mr. Finden was employed was an engraving after Hilton's large picture of The Crucifixion. He had engaged in it as a private speculation, but afterwards offered it to the council of the Art Union, who paid him 1,4701. for it, which included 2101. for the copy he had obtained of the picture. It is stated that impressions are to be issued only, in limited numbers, as prizes; and not generally to the subscribers. Since the invention of the electrotype process, we do not perceive any reason, or justification, for such a limitation in a work produced by the funds of the Art Union.

It was only a week before his death that Mr. William Finden was named as one of seven or eight eminent historical engravers whose names were attached to a petition to Her Majesty for the recognition of the claim of engravers to the full honours of the Royal Academy. He caught cold on his return from a meeting of his fellow engravers, the cold aggravated an old complaint (disease of the heart), and terminated his life. He died a widower, and his body was interred in the Highgate Cemetery.

HENRY ANGELO, ESQ. Oct. 14. At Brighton, aged 72, Henry Angelo, esq. Superintendent of Sword Exercise to the Army.

The family of Mr. Angelo has been

known more than three quarters of a century for their skill and instruction in fencing, not only in the highest circles of society, but at the universities and principal colleges and schools in England. His grandfather, a man of high stature and symmetry of form, was considered one of the most skilful fencers of his day, and equally excelled in the manége of the riding-school. So much were his instructions, together with his gentlemanly and elegant manners, regarded by all, that King George the Third selected him to instruct his sons, from the eldest to the youngest; and ever afterwards both grandfather, father, and son were received with the most friendly kindness by the whole of the royal family,-the last having given the same instructions in fencing to the present Duke of Cambridge and the King of Hanover.

It was not, however, in the ordinary science of fencing alone that the subject of this memoir became known to the public, as (during the war in 1813) he particularly turned his attention to forming a drill exercise for the sabre, so that every officer of the army should, as a matter of course, have some knowledge at least of using his sword upon an emergency, whilst it laid a foundation for him, if he chose to exert himself by practice, to become an expert swordsman. The Duke of Wellington's opinion as to its utility was strongly manifested, when he commanded the Army of Observation in France, by the General Order of January 14th, 1817, as follows:

"No. 2. The Field Marshal begs to call the attention of the officers of the army to the sword exercise, which they have been ordered to learn.

"No. 3. It is really important to them, as it affords a foundation on which they can with facility make themselves masters of the art of using the weapon, which they are obliged to wear."

"No. 5. The Field Marshal has directed Major Angelo to report to him any future want of attention." (The major alluded to is the present Colonel Angelo, who instructed detachments of officers and non-commissioned officers, and superintended the exercise in France at that period).

A strong proof of the above is shewn at the present day in the feats of swordsmanship exhibited on several occasions by men of the Life Guards and Blues, who have been brought forward by Mr. Angelo from his observing their abilities, during the course of his superintending the drills, and in consequence thereof giving them the advantage of practice and improvement, at his professional school of arms.

Nor has his attention been directed to the military service only, as in 1813, whilst on a visit to his friend Captain Rainier of the Norge frigate, (with the squadron blockading the Scheldt,) he volunteered to drill the ship's company in the use of the cutlass and pike, and the exercise has since been adopted in the naval service, and regularly taught on board the Excellent at Portsmouth.

Within the last few years, although he had long ago proposed it, he has been much occupied with a bayonet exercise, the advantages of which both as to the efficiency of the weapon, and its beneficial gymnastic tendency, is becoming a drill, which even the soldiers themselves are anxious to learn.

In private life his sociability and gentlemanly manners endeared him to a numerous acquaintance of all ranks, who have to deplore his loss at a moment altogether unexpected, from his remarkable and general appearance of health. His body was interred in the cemetery at Kensal Green. E. A. A.

CLERGY DECEASED.

April 11. At Newcastle, Australia, the Rev. John Morse, of Scone parsonage, Australia, and late Rector of Huntley, and Vicar of Oxenhall, Gloucestershire. He was of Pembroke college, Oxford, B.A. 1814, M.A. 1824; was instituted to Huntley in 1817 on his own presentation; and collated to Oxenhall by Bishop Ryder.

Aug. 15. At Bangor, aged 57, the Rev. John Warren, Chancellor of the Diocese of Bangor, Rector of Caldecote, Hants, and of Graveley, co. Cambridge, and F.R.S. He was the son (as we believe) of the Very Rev. John Warren, Dean of Bangor, who was nephew to the Right Rev. John Warren, D.D. formerly Bishop of that see. He was formerly a Fellow and Tutor of Jesus college, Cambridge, and graduated B.A. 1818 as fifth Wrangler, M.A. 1821. He was instituted to Caldecote, which was in his patronage, in 1822, and to Graveley in 1828 by his college. He was appointed Chancellor of Bangor by Bishop Majendie Oct. 24, 1823.

Aug. 19. At Charlton Mackrell, Somerset, aged 55, the Ven. William Thomas Parr Brymer, Archdeacon of Bath, Canon of Wells, Rector of Charlton Mackrell, and F.S.A. He was of Trinity college, Cambridge, B.A. 1820, M.A. 1823; was instituted in 1821 to the rectory of Charlton Mackrell, the advowson of which had been purchased by his father: was nominated to the prebend or canonry of Combe the 4th in the church of Wells, by Bishop Law, in 1834; appointed Archdeacon of Bath in 18 on the resignation of Dr. Moysey, and elected a Canon Residentiary of Wells in 1840. The formation of the diocesan societies about six

teen years ago first brought this active and amiable clergyman into a prominent position. Possessing ample means, he not only largely contributed to their funds, but promoted their objects with great energy and influence. During the incapacity of the late Bishop Law, in addition to his ordinary functions as Archdeacon, he superintended the affairs of the entire diocese as the "spiritual person" acting under the administrator of the diocese, the Bishop of Salisbury. On New year's day 1849 he received a letter from the Rural Deans of the diocese, announcing the intention of a large body of the clergy and laity thereof to place a stained-glass window in the choir of the church of Wells, as a means of expressing and perpetuating their deep sense of the very great services he had conferred upon them. The window bears the following inscription: "In honorem viri venerabilis dilectissimi in Christo fratris Gulielmi T. Parr Brymer, hodie Archidiaconi Bathoniensis, hujusce Diocesis olim Procuratoris, fenestram hanc vitro colorato adornandum curave runt complures ejusdem diocesis clerici et laici." No dignitary of the Church could be more respected than Archdeacon Brymer, whose conciliatory and affable manners won him the respect and esteem of all parties, and his loss is universally deplored. In Bath he was well known, having for a long time past resided in Pulteney-street; and by many of his fellow-citizens his death will be greatly felt. The following resolution was unanimously passed at the Quarterly Meeting of the District Committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, for the Deaneries of Bath and Chew, held on the 27th Sept.: “That the members now present unanimously feel that they cannot separate from this their first Quarterly Meeting since the lamented demise of the late Ven. Archdeacon Brymer, without giving expression to their feelings of unfeigned sorrow for an event which occasions so severe a loss, not to this Archdeaconry alone, but also to the Diocese at large; and, while desiring to bow submissively to the dispensation of an all-wise, though mysterious, Providence, in the removal of one so eminently calculated for the responsible situation he was called to fill, they are no less anxious to record the sound judgment, untiring activity, and unceasing Christian courtesy by which the discharge of his official duties was uniformly distinguished." Archdeacon Brymer became a widower on the 6th of April last.
