P. 216. To the Fifth Volume of Atterbury's "Epistolary Correspondence," Mr. Nichols prefixed a "Brief Memoir of the Author," to which reference may be made as containing many minute particulars not noticed elsewhere. In compiling this memoir Mr. Nichols endeavoured to preserve the strictest impartiality as to the Bishop's supposed political sentiments. Since 1799, however, the public opinion has materially changed as to the Bishop's connection with the Court of St. Germain's, by the more recent publication of the "Stuart Papers," from Her Majesty's collection, edited by John Hulbert Glover, Esq. See an able review of that work in the Gent. Mag. for May, 1847, written by the Rev. John Mitford, in which the character of Bp. Atterbury, as a divine, a Latin writer, and a politician, are carefully analysed. See also Mr. Chalmers's excellent memoir of Bp. Atterbury.

Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., succeeded, on the death of Mr. Planta, to be the head librarian of the British Museum; from which establishment, after holding office in it for more than half a century, he retired at the beginning of 1856. He also filled the office of Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries from 1813 to 1853; and on his retirement was elected Director of the Society.

Thou Judas?-no, he was a Penitent."

Ibid. last line. The Rev. Richard Yates, D.D. F.S.A. was born at Bury St. Edmund's in July 1769. He was the eldest son of Mr. Richard Yates, who had the care of the much-admired ruins

of Bury Abbey, in which duty he evinced a great degree of traditional knowledge respecting the Monastery; and his urbanity and patient attention to the curious inquirer were alike conspicuous. He died He died at Bury, April 28, 1803, aged 62. Dr. Yates received his education at Bury School: and was of Jesus College, Cambridge, B.D. 1805, D.D. 1818. In March, 1798, he was appointed one of the Chaplains of Chelsea Hospital, which preferment he held for thirty-six years. In May, 1804, he was presented to the rectory of Ashen, in Essex, by the Earl of Chichester, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He was an active and liberal promoter of various institutions of charity; and, among these, the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, the Literary Fund for the Relief of Authors in Distress, the Clergy Orphan Society, the School for the Indigent Blind, and the Philanthropic Society, were favourite objects of his regard. In 1805 he was elected one of the Treasurers of the Literary Fund; and about the same period became one of the Committee and Secretary of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb; both which offices he filled with unwearied attention. His talents as a preacher placed him in the pulpits of Portman, Percy, and Green-street Chapels, where he was heard by crowded congregations. In 1806 he was chosen alternate preacher with the Rev. Isaac Jackman, on the first opening of the chapel of the Philanthropic Society; and most ably did these excellent men fulfil their important trust. Dr. Yates published:-1. An Illustration of the Monastic History and Antiquities of the Abbey of St. Edmund's Bury. Part I. 4to. 1805. (Dr. Yates never having found time to complete the work presented his materials to Mr. J. B. Nichols, who republished the "History," with several additional Plates, in 1843.) 2. A Sermon preached at the Anniversary of the Royal Humane Society in Saint Anne's Church, Westminster, 1807. 3. The Work of an Evangelist; a Visitation Sermon preached in the parish. church of Halstead, in Essex, on the 2nd of June, 1813, before the Rev. George Owen Cambridge, M. A. Archdeacon of Middlesex, and the Clergy of the Deanery of Hedingham. 8vo. 1813. 4. The Church in Danger: a Statement of the Cause, and of the probable Means of averting that danger attempted, in a Letter to the Earl of Liverpool. 8vo. 1815. 5. The Basis of National Welfare, considered in reference chiefly to the prosperity of Britain, and the safety of the Church of England, in a second Letter to the Earl of Liverpool. 8vo. 1817. 6.

Patronage of the Church of England, considered in reference to National Reformation and Improvement, and the permanence of our Ecclesiastical establishments. 8vo. 1823.
