After many years thus laboriously spent, he removed to Warrington, in the month of August 1758; chiefly induced by the expectation of living more to himself, (for he determined to have no boarders, though much solicited,) and ve, indeed, was his manner of teaching, that I have seen gentlemen who, some years after they had left the academy, when they were occasionally passing through Warrington, and staying there only a few hours, joined the students in attending his lecture.

e shock from some very heavy family afflictions, began rapidly to decline. In the following spring, as soon as the season would permit, he undertook a journey to Hexham, in Northumberland, where his eldest son was then settled as a physician; and his friends were not without all hope that he might be restored to his former strength and usefulness. But his disorder returning, he died there on the 8th of June, 1752. He was interred in the Abbey Church of Hexham, where a mural monument bears the following inscription to his memory:— To the Memory of Caleb Rotheram, late of Kendal, D. D. Who successfully united The force of Genius and Industry arent, and Friend. He died June VIII, Mdcclii. Aged LVIII. Dr. Rotheram left three sons, of whom the eldest, as abovementioned, was a physician, first at Hexham, afterwards at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He was a man of high character and reputation in his profession, and an eminent and successful practitioner. Another son we

His grandson, Dr. Samuel Clark, was minister at St. Albans, and a man of great worth, eminence, and piety. He is remembered as having been the early patron, adviser, and friend of Doddridge; to whom, in the sermon prea of time, for a rooted passion for literature and a delicate state of health seem to have led to an early change in his destination. He was sent to a school at St. Albans, kept by an ingenious man who had been on the stage, and was fond of exercising his pupils in theatrical declamation; which circumstance may probably have tendever, are known at this distance of time, who were afterwards respected as men of eminent learning and attainments; particularly Mr. Cappe of York, Mr. Hirons of St. Albans, and Dr. Cogan, well known as author of a valuable Treatise on the Passions, and of the admirable Letters by a Layman to Mr. Wilberforce on the Doctrine of Her

Caleb Rotheram, D. D. was born March 7, 1694, at the pleasant village of Great Salkeld, on the banks of the river Eden, in Cumberland, which, as we have seen, was also, a few years afterwards, the birthplace of Benson. He was instructed in classical learning by Mr. Anthony Ireland, at that time master of the free Grammar School at Blencowe, and pursued his academical studies, preparatory to the exercise of the Christian ministry, under the direction of Dr. Dixon, at Whitehaven. In the year 1716, he accepted an invitation from the Protestant dissenting congregation at Kendal, and became their stated pastor; a station in which he remained through life. Nothing is recorded of him till the year 1733; but we cannot doubt that, as he continued the useful but uniform and noiseless tenor of his way, in the diligent discharge of the duties of his office, he advanced in reputation as in years; for at this period, in compliance with the request of many of the most eminent among the Diss

ich other establishments under similar auspices have most commonly been conducted. Mr. Clark was descended from a family which in all its generations had been honourably connected with the history of religious liberty and Protestant dissent. His remote ancestor, Mr. Samuel Clark, of Bennet-Fink, in the City of London, was ejected from his living on the memorable day of St. Bartholomew, 1662, and was followed in the same honourable testimony by two sons, Samuel, Rector of Grendon, in Buckinghamshire, and John, Rector of Codgrave, in Nottinghamshire. The former of these was the author of the well-known Annotations on the Bible. His grandson, Dr. Samuel Clark, was minister at St. Albans, and a man of great worth, eminence, and piety. He is remembered as having been the early patron, adviser, and friend of Doddridge; to whom, in the sermon preached on occasion of his death, he thus records his obligations:—I may properly call him my friend and father, if all the offices of paternal

which was afterwards served for so many years with such ability by the Rev. Hugh Worthington; but just as he was about to enter on the duties of his office, a fall from his horse gave him an injury in the breast, which caused him to spit blood, and, in his opinion, disqualified him for the regular labours of the pulpit. He, therefore, gave up the design of settling with a congregation; and engaged in a school, for a short time, as partner with a Mr. Lee, of Farndon, near Harborough, in Leicestershire. Having married the daughter of the Rev. John Jennings, (the able tutor and predecessor of Doddridge) he removed to Kilworth, where he raised a flourishing school by assiduities which were almost too much for his tender health; for after his accident abovementioned much speaking was always a toil to him, and he soon came to suffer under asthmatic attacks, which he always believed to have a consumptive tendency. His school attained a high reputation, well merited by his diligence, lear

the academy on being invited to become one of the ministers of the congregation assembling in the Old Meeting-house at Birmingham, as joint-pastor with the Rev. W. Howell. A connexion at this time subsisted between this congregation and that at Oldbury, about five miles from Birmingham, the two ministers officiating alternately at each place. Here he continued for twelve years the highly popular and useful minister of an attached congregation. In 1761, the reputation which he had acquired duardly be regretted by the friends of the institution, when it led to the appointment of Dr. Aikin himself, and the consequent nomination of Dr. Priestley to fill the station which he had quitted. On December 3, 1769, as he was setting out for Oldbury, Mr. Clark was thrown from his horse in one of the streets of Birmingham, and was taken up insensible. After languishing for three days, he died in consequence of the injury he had received. A funeral sermon was preached on the occasion of his

It may naturally be presumed that the majority of his pupils, in a private school situated in a manufacturing district, were destined for trade or other departments of active life. Some few, however, are known at this distance of time, who were afterwards respected as men of eminent learning and attainments; particularly Mr. Cappe of York, Mr. Hirons of St. Albans, and Dr. Cogan, well known as author of a valuable Treatise on the Passions, and of the admirable Letters by a Layman to Mr. Wilberforce on the Doctrine of Hereditary Depravity. One of his particular friends, during his residence at Kilworth, was Dr. (then Mr.) Pulteney, of Leicester, who afterwards distinguished himself as an eminent naturalist and physician.
