"Few men have left behind such purity of character or such monuments of laborious piety. He has provided instruction for all ages, from those who are lisping their first lessons, to the enlightened readers of Malebranche' and Locke; he has left neither corporal nor spiritual nature unexamined; he has taught the Art of Reasoning and the Science of the Stars.... As a poet, had he been only a poet, he would probably have stood English Poets, 1779-81] associated. . . . He is at least one of the few poets with whom youth and ignorance may be safely pleased; and happy will be that reader whose mind is disposed by his verse, or his prose, to imitate him in all but his nonconformity, to copy his benevolence to man, and his reverence to God."-DR. JOHNSON : ubi supra, 254, 255.

"He was not only a devout and zealous Christian, but a profound scholar, a natural philosopher, a logician, and a mathematician. His life and conversation exhibited a pattern of every Christian virtue. For my own part. I cannot but think this good man approached as nearly to Christian perfection as any mortal ever did in this sublunary state."-DR. KNOX.

"Wit fell from him like occasional fire from heaven, and, like the ethereal flame, was ever vivid and penetrating.”—DR. GIBBONS.

"The Independents, as represented by Dr. Watts, have a just claim to be considered the real founders of modern English hymnody. No doubt Watts's taste was often faulty, and his style unequal; but more hymns which approached to a very high standard of excellence might be found in his works than in those of any other single writer in the English language."SIR ROUNDELL PALMER, Q.C., M.P.: Lecture on English Church Hymnody, 1866.

"If Mrs. Barbauld is to be called the Watts of female hymnwriters, Mrs. Steele's poems present many characteristics which remind one of Wesley and Cowper."-Church Mon., (Boston,) July, 1865, 47: Female Hymn-Writers.

Twenty-two of Watts's hymns will be found in Rogers's Lyra Brit., 2d ed., 1868, 577-93.

"Dr. Watts's style is harmonious, florid, poetical, and pathetic; yet too diffuse, too many words, especially in his latter works; and his former are too much loaded with epithets; yet, on the

whole, excellent... All that he has written is well worth

reading."-DR. DODDRIDGE.

"The style of all his works is perspicuous, correct, and frequently elegant; and, happily for mankind, his labours have been translated and dispersed with a zeal which does honour to human nature; for there are probably few persons who have studied the writings of Dr. Watts without a wish for improvement, without an effort to become wiser or a better member of society."-DR.

"Mr. Watts, (who is master of fourteen or fifteen different languages,) by his able arrangements, has made easily accessible to the public the whole of the old library, and also the very important additions to it purchased under Mr. Panizzi's direction: from less than two hundred and fifty thousand volumes it has increased to upwards of half a million of books, in all branches of literature and science. The department of Hungarian, Polish, and Russian Literature claims distinct mention: in collecting this, Mr. Watts's knowledge of those languages has

I must now add the name of Thomas Watts to the long list of those friends who have cordially encouraged me in those arduous literary labours the completion of which they were never to behold. He died, of disease in the heart, (induced by inflammation of the femoral artery, caused by an accident whilst descending from his carriage at Bridgenorth, Shropshire,) at his residence in the British Museum, Sept. 9, 1869. From 1837 to 1857 he was an Assistant Librarian, from 1857 to 1866 Assistant Keeper of the Printed Books, and Superintendent of the Reading-Room, and from August, 1866, until his death, Keeper of the Printed Books, in the British Museum. Among his literary services should be enumerated papers in The Spirit of Literature, in 1830, entitled Notes of a Reader; articles in The Mechanics' Magazine, 1836-37, signed P. P. C. R., on the British Museum Library; contributions to The Quarterly Review, The Athenæum, Proceedings of the Philological Society, &c.; biblio

graphical notes in F. Lawrence's Life of Fielding, 1855, p. 8vo, and the suggestion (see London Literary Gazette, 1828, 334) which resulted in the formation of The Royal Geographical Society of England. The following statements of the invaluable results of his assiduous labours deserve a permanent record:

"In the course of the ten years from 1851 to 1860, inclusive, the number of separate books ordered at my suggestion cannot have been less than 80,000; and to select those orders required the examination of at least 600,000 titles of books, in Greek and Latin, in French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, in German, Swedish, Danish, and Dutch, in Russian, Polish, Bohemian, and Hungarian. I have also had occasion to prepare lists of desiderata in Welsh, Icelandic, and Chinese, and I had the pleasure of drawing up, under your inspection, the first large list of American orders which was ever sent across the Atlantic from the Museum. The object which has been kept in view during the last threeand-twenty years has been to bring together, from all quarters, the useful, the elegant, and the curious literature of every language: to unite with the best English library in the world the best Russian library out of Russia, the best German out of Germany, the best Spanish out of Spain, and so for every language, from Italian to Icelandic, from Polish to Portuguese. In five of the languages in which it now claims this species of supremacy-in Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Danish, and Swedish-I believe I may safely say that, with the exception of perhaps fifty volumes, every book that has been purchased by the Museum within the last three-and-twenty years has been purchased at my suggestion. I have the pleasure of reflecting that every future student of the less-known literatures of Europe will find riches where I found poverty,-though, of course, the collection in all these languages together forms but a small proportion of the vast accumulations that have been added during your administration and that of your successor." See Amer. Lit. Gaz., Nov. 1, 1869, 3.

"Mr. Watts was not solely a bibliographer and librarian: he was also a ripe scholar, a philologist, and a linguist. His knowledge extended over the whole range of the Indo-European languages. His essays on Cardinal Mezzofanti, on the Welsh and Hungarian languages, on Encyclopædias, &c. &c., are spoken of with great approval. He had yielded several years ago to the urgent requests of friends to prepare a volume of his collected writings; but his accession to the responsible and laborious post of Keeper, coupled with his great conscientiousness, prevented his getting it ready for the press before his death. There is a prospect, however, that it will be published by-and-by. The country has lost in Mr. Watts a faithful servant, the circle in which he moved a kind friend, and the public an adviser ever ready to oblige and help."-Trübner's Amer, and Orient. Lit. Record, Sept. 16, 1869, 538.

"Mr. Watts possessed a most remarkable memory. He could instantly point out the press and shelf of probably more than 100,000 works. He liked to meet Americans, and always prided himself upon knowing something of the personal history of every prominent one who came to see him. The writer well remembers two attempts to test this faculty. One day, without any notice, he took a friend into Mr. Watts's recess, and said, abruptly, Mr. Watts, let me introduce to you Professor Silliman, of Yale College.' 'Oh,' said he, rising and cordially extending his hand, how very fortunate, Dr. Benjamin Silliman, that you should appear here, of all places in the world, just fifty years since your first visit, when in your Travels you wrote a most interesting account of our library. Come, let us go and see your rare little book, and at the same time I will show you the library, and afford you the opportunity of writing another account, showing our half-century's progress.' And he walked off the professor to a remote part of the library and laid his hand on the volume, as if it had been one for his daily reading. A similar readiness delighted and astonished the Hon. George P. Marsh, with respect to his privately-printed Icelandic grammar."-HENRY STEVENS: Boston Daily Advertiser, Sept. 28, 1869, (an excellent sketch.)

What a blessing to letters would it have been if Mr. Watts had retained his position, energy, and faculties until he had attained the ripe age of Sir Henry Ellis, (Principal Librarian of the British Museum, 1827-56, who died Jan. 15, 1869, in his 91st year.) The Principal Librarian at present (1870) is Mr. John Winter Jones, (see PANIZZI, ANTONIO:) Mr. Watts was succeeded as Keeper of the Printed Books by William Brenchley Rye, (q. v.)

He will do less than justice if among the "benefactors" the name of Planta, Ellis, Panizzi, Jones, Watts, Rye, Horne, Bullen, Madden, Holmes, or Sims, be looked for in vain.
