It would appear that Mr. Gough presented a copy of his " Sepulchral Monuments" to the Vatican Library, by the following inscription, copied from his own hand-writing. "Ne dedigneris, sanctissime Pater, inter thesauros Bibliothecæ Vaticanæ, per orbem literatam merito celeberrimam, opus hocce gloriæ Britannorum in arte tectonica sepulchrali inserviens inserere. Tibi valere et frui humillime precatur AUTOR." P. 294. A Memoir of Mr. Jacob Schnebbelie was prefixed to his "Antiquaries' Museum," written by his friends Mr. Gough and Mr. Nichols. Jacob Schnebbelie was born Aug. 30, 1760, in Duke's Court, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. His father was a native of Zurich in Switzerland, a lieutenant in the Dutch army at the siege of Bergen-op-Zoom in 1747. Upon quitting that service, he came to England, and settled as a confectioner at Rochester. He had two sons; the elder succeeded to his father's business, and in the same business the younger son, Jacob Schnebbelie, followed, first at Canterbury and afterwards at Hammersmith; but, having previously learned something of drawing under Paul Sandby, he quitted his shop, and commenced drawing-master. To the Earl of Leicester's notice he was first introduced by sketching in his park near Hertford. At the earl's recommendation, he was appointed draughtsman to the Society of Antiquaries, which led to his honourable connexion with Mr. Gough, as related in Vol. VI. of Literary Anecdotes, pp. 293, 294, 321. Mr. Schnebbelie drew several views in and near Canterbury, and published four views of St. Alban's Abbey, etched by himself. He drew several views for Mr. Moore's "Monastic Remains;" several good plates for the "Gentleman's Magazine;" made many drawings for Nichols's "History of Leicestershire;" for the "Vetusta Monumenta;" for Mr. Gough's "Sepulchral Monuments;" &c. The early numbers of "The Antiquaries' Museum," etched by himself, do great credit to his skill; but the later numbers, published after his death, though engraved after his drawings, were not of equal interest, and were published chiefly to assist in the support of his widow and infant children. Mr. Nichols thus dedicates one of his plates in his History of Leicestershire: "To the memory of Mr. Jacob Schnebbelie, draughtsman to the Society of Antiquaries, this view of Coldover ton Church, the last he took in the county of Leicester, is affectionately inscribed by J. Nichols, as a tribute to Genius, Integrity, and Social Virtues. His talents were lost to the world, Feb. 21, 1792, before he had completed his 32nd year." The second son of Mr. Jacob Schnebbelie, Mr. Robert Bremmel Schnebbelie, was an ingenious draughtsman, and was employed by Mr. Robert Wilkinson, to make drawings for "Londina Illustrata ;" by Mr. Nichols, for the "Gentleman's Magazine," and for other works. He was also employed by Mr. T. Fisher, F.S.A.; and by Mr. C. J. Smith, engraver, and many others, to make drawings for the illustration of topographical works. Unfortunately, he was of rather weak intellect, and very capricious in the employment of his time. After his mother's death he was scarcely able to take care of himself. To the horror of his few friends, his body was found in a lodging, almost destitute of furniture, after having been some days dead; and it was too evident that his death was hastened by privation. This occurred about the year 1849. P. 299, n. 1. 14 from bottom, r. "Westcott." P. 300, 1. 8, add to Mr. Gough's communications to the Archæologia.

He was short-sighted, which seldom allowed him to stop his friends in the street; in conversation, in apprehension, and in writing, he was alike remarkably quick; he enjoyed the society of the young and playful equally with that of those of maturer years; for, when out of his library, nobody could take him for the studious antiquary.

From an unpublished work by Dr. Thomas Ignatius Maria Forster, printed at Bruges, 1845, intituled, "Epistolarium Forsterianum; or Letters of the Forster Family," some further particulars shall be given of the amiable and talented family of the Forsters. EDWARD FORster, Esq. Of this eminent merchant, and governor of the Russian Company, an account has already been given in Lit. Anecd. vol. VI. p. 616. See also Index, vol. VII. pp. 138, 567. See likewise his correspondence with Mr. Gough, in Literary Illustrations, vol. V. pp. 280-289. Dr. Forster gives some anecdotes of his amiability in private life in his work, vol. I. pp. 3-14. Mr. Edward Forster married Miss Susanna Furney, descended from an ancient Somersetshire family; and had the following children : 1. Thomas-Furley; 2. Benjamin-Meggott; 3. Edward; and one daughter, Susanna Dorothy, who married the Rev. F. Dixon, rector of Bincombe and Broadway, Dorset, and died Oct. 9, 1822. THOMAS FURLEY FORSTER, F.L.S. was born in Walbrook, Sept. 6, 1761; and on his father's removal to Walthamstow, soon acquired a fondness for nature, which distinguished him throughout life. He devoted his time chiefly to the study of botany. He was joint author with his brother of the Catalogue of Plants in Mr. Gough's edition of Camden's "Britannia ;" and of several papers in the "Linnæan Transactions." He published "Flora Tonbrigiensis," to the second edition of which Dr. Forster added an account of the author. Another longer memoir of Mr. T. F. Forster, written by his son, Dr. Forster, will be found in "Epistolarium Fosterianum," vol. I. pp. 33 to 41. He was also acquainted with antiquities, and was a collector of prints, coins, and medals. In 1788, Mr. Forster married Susanna, third daughter of Thomas Williams, and niece to Mr. Sykes, of Tryon's Place, by whom he had Dr. Thomas Forster, F.R.A.S., F.L.S. &c. and four other children: 2. Edward, married to Eliza Nicholson. 1. Susanna, married to B. Fernandez. 2. Harriet, married Rev. A. F. Lloyd, Rector of Instow. 3. Marian, married to Rev. T. Morres, P. C. Twickenham. Mr. T. F. lived chiefly at Upper Clapton; but finally went to reside with his father's family at Walthamstow, where he died Oct. 28, 1825. BENJAMIN MEGGOTT FORSTER, Esq. was born in Walbrook, Jan. 16, 1764. He was educated with his elder brother at Walthamstow; and afterwards became a member of the firm of Edward Forster and Co. Russia merchants, of London; but he attended very little to business, and occupied himself much with natural philosophy, especially electricity. He was also fond of botany, and made some correct and elegant drawings of the fungi. Mr. B. M. Forster was highly benevolent, proud, just, and affectionate, and had a remarkable attachment to young children. He was the author of several able letters in the Philosophical Magazine and the Gentleman's Magazine; was the inventor of the Sliding Portfolio, of the Atmospherical Electroscope, and of the Orrery of Perpetual Motion, a machine which of course failed. He was an early advocate for the abolition of Slavery; for abolishing Capital Punishments; for suppressing Cruelty to Animals; for affording Relief to the Destitute; for suppressing the Abuse of Anatomy in Hospitals, &c. He founded a very useful society for restoring young females to their friends in the country, who, on coming to town, had been seduced; and another, the society for the suppression of Climbing Boys by the use of mechanical contrivances for sweeping chimneys. This society has proved highly successful, and is deserving of every praise. His coadjutors in its establishment were Granville Sharp, Esq. and William Tooke, Esq. Mr. B. M. Forster never married, but resided chiefly with his father's family, and subsequently with his mother. At her death, April 26, 1823, he took a cottage, called Scotts, at Hale End, Walthamstow, where he died rather suddenly on 8th March, 1829. EDWARD FORSTER, ESQ. F.R.S., F.L.S. was born in Wood-street, Walthamstow, 12 Oct. 1765. He was early introduced into the banking-house of Forster, Lubbocks, Forster, and Clarke; became, like his brother, fond of botany, particularly English herbaceous plants, and was author of several papers in the Linnæan Transactions, of which society he ultimately became Vice-President. He resided chiefly at Hale End, on his own estate; but latterly at Ivy House, "Woodford, where he died 23 Feb. 1849, in his 84th year, his estates being inherited by his eldest nephew, Dr. Thomas Forster. Mr. E. Forster had been married to Mary-Jane, only daughter of Abraham Greenwood, by whom he had no children, and whom he lost in January 1846. He arose at six, working among his plants till seven; then breakfasted, and regularly attended his banking-house by nine o'clock, returning to dinner at six. He was shy, taciturn, and exclusive in his habits, cultivated but few friendships, and spent much of his evenings in reading, arranging his herbarium, or unpacking and sorting and arranging his plants. He was of a mild and benevolent disposition; and he died regretted deeply by his family and scientific friends. Mr. E. Forster was the principal founder of the Refuge for the Destitute in the Hackney Road. Some lines to his memory by a friend, who had known him for fifty years, will be found in Gent. Mag. for Sept. 1849, p. 248; and a more full memoir of him in the Magazine for Oct. 1849, p. 431. REV. BENJAMIN FORSTER was the younger brother of Edward Forster, Esq. governor of the Russia Company; of him an account is given in Lit. Anecd. vol. VI. pp. 268, 370, 616; and particularly in vol. IX. p. 648, Another series of where are several letters of Mr. B. Forster. his correspondence is printed in "Literary Illustrations," vol. V. In Dr. Forster's "Letters of the Forster Fapp. 290-328. mily," are several other letters of Mr. Gough to the Rev. B. Forster, many of them too trifling to be worthy of preservation, and all of them most incorrectly printed at a foreign press. In the same work are some interesting anecdotes of Mr. Forster, after his retirement into Cornwall. "At Boconnoc parsonage, in one of the deep, fresh, and green vallies of Cornwall, inclosed among well-wooded hills, lived my great-uncle Benjamin Forster. Settling quietly down in his living, he rejoiced in this retirement from the world more than he had ever enjoyed its amusements; here and indulging in all the whims and fancies which belong to genius, he became celebrated as one of the most liberal, learned, agreeable, and, at the same time, eccentric men of his day.
