the delight and the solace of those who have been unable to visit other countries; and they have excited the dormant spirit of curiosity in many a resident of this university, who has followed eagerly the steps of Dr. Clarke, and has invariably borne testimony to the accuracy and the fidelity of his narrative. Dr. Clarke has somewhere mentioned all the excellencies which must unite to form a perfect traveller-he must have the pencil of Norden, the pen of Volney, the learning of Pococke, the perseverance of Bruce, the enthusiasm of Savary. Of all these Dr. Clarke united in his own person by far the greater share. No difficulties in his progress were ever allowed to be insuperable; and upon all occasions he imparted to others a portion of his own enthusiasm. It was upon the return from this extensive tour, during which he had visited nearly the whole of Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa, that Dr. Clarke presented to the University those memorials of his travels, which now decorate the vestibule of the Library; and as some return for the splendor which his name had reflected upon the University, he was complimented in full Senate with the degree of LL.D. From that moment the residence of the traveller was confined to Cambridge, and he shortly after commenced those public lectures in mineralogy, which, if possible, have made his name more known and honoured, both in this and in foreign countries, than even his long and interesting travels.-Natural History was his earliest and most favourite study; and that peculiar branch of it, which refers to the mineral kingdom, soon engrossed the whole of his attention. In the delivery of his celebrated lectures, Clarke was without a rival—his eloquence was inferior to none; (in native eloquence, perhaps, few have ever equalled him in this country;) Ins knowledge of his subject was extensive; his elucidation clear and simple; and in the illustrations, which were practically afforded by the various and beautiful specimens of his minerals, hę was peculiarly happy.-Most of those spe cimens he had himself collected, and they seldom failed to give rise to the most pleasing associations by their individual locality. We may justly apply to him in the delivery of his lectures, what is engraven on the monument of Goldsmith, “Nihil, quod tetigit, non ornavit-." Of the higher qualities of his mind, of his force. and energy as a Christian preacher, of the sublimity and excellence of his discourses, we might tell in any other place than Cambridge; but here all mention of them is unnecessary, his crowded congregations are testimony sufficient, Of the estimation in which Dr. Clarke was held by foreigners, we may in the same mauner refer our readers to the various Honorary Societies, in which his name stands enrolled; we may safely say, that to no one person has the University of Cambridge been more indebted for celebrity abroad during the last twenty years, than to her late Librarian, Dr. Clarke. He has fallen a victim indeed to his generous ardour in the pursuit of science-he looked only to the fame of the University; and in his honest endeavours to exalt her reputation, he unhappily neglected his own invaluable health He has thus left to his afflicted family, and to his surviving friends, the most painful and bitter regrets; whilst to the University itself, he has bequeathed a debt of gratitude, which we doubt not will hereafter be amply and liberally discharged. The remains of the much-lamented Dr. Clarke were interred this morning at 12 o'clock, in the chapel of Jesus College.The funeral was attended by his relatives, some of the Heads of Houses, the greater part of the Professors,and most ofhis friends resident in the University; all the Members of Jesus college (the college to which he belonged) likewise followed. The service was read in the most impressive manner by the Rev. Dr. French, Master of Jesus college, and Vice-Chancellor of the University; and the effect it produced was such as might have been expected on | so melancholy an occasion.
