THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, For OCTOBER, 1814. Mr. URBAN, London, Oct. 9. Take the liberty of inclosing to HE very elegant Epitaph which you, has recently been placed over the remains of the late Dr. John Price at Harlow in Essex. Dr. Price was Physician to the Forces, and for several years to the York Hospital, Chelsea. He was an excellent man, a good scholar, and had distinguished himself professionally by volunteering his services in the Plague Hospital in Egypt, where he remained many months. This circumstance is well expressed in the composition I now send you, which is from the hand of a classical friend. Yours, &c. An old Reader and occasional Wm. Cole, in his copy of Mr. Bentham's " History of Ely Cathedral," and he has particularly displayed this article in the title-page and advertisements of his book, as if those notes were of greater consequence than any other parts of his publication. The Compiler tells us, he has been induced to publish this "farrago" with the pure wish, " that the author of a book which has received praise from so many quarters, should not with impunity be robbed of the re putation his labours have so well deserved.” Mr. D. confesses that he has seen the edition of 1812, where my name and residence are conspicuously printed; and he says, "the refutation of the assertion that James Bentham was not the author of the book attributed to him, could not come with a better grace from any other man than the Author's only son; whose duty it should be to remove any unfavourable impressions these notes may have made on the minds of such persons as have seen,orare in possession of them.” Had W.D. communicated these sentiments by letter to me, I should have given him credit for the purity of his intentions; but, as things are, I think they are open to suspicion; and I shall dismiss him with the hope, that, if his motives for publishing the scandal and ill-nature of Mr. Cole were the reverse of what he has stated them to be, the contempt of all good men will be his reward. Fortunately, Mr. Urban, I am io possession of such letters and other documents, as, if required, would do away most effectually the attempt to deprive my Reverend Father" of the reputation his labours have so well deserved." I cannot, however, think of encroaching upon the limits of your valuable Publication for the insertion of them. There are also many living evidences to prove that the Rev. James Bentham, and not his brother, was the Author of the "History and Antiquities of Ely Cathedral;" and what is said in the Memoirs |
