BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF THE HON. HENRY ERSKINE. Died, at his seat of Ammondell, Linlithgowshire, on the 8th instant, in the 71st year of his age, the Hon. Henry Erskine, second son of the late Henry David, Earl

of Buchan.

Mr Erskine was called to the Scottish Bar, of which he was long the brightest ornament, in the year 1768, and was for several years Dean of the Faculty of Advocates; he was twice appointed Lord Advocate, in 1782 and in 1806, under the Rockingham and the Grenville administrations. During the years 1806 and 1807 he sat in Parliament for the Dunbar and Dumfries districts of boroughs.

In his long and splendid career at the Bar, Mr Erskine was distinguished not only by the peculiar brilliancy of his wit, and the gracefulness, ease, and vivacity of his eloquence, but by the still rarer power of keeping those seducing qualities in perfect subordination to his judgment. By their assistance, he could not only make the most repulsive subjects agreeable, but the most abstruse easy and intelligible. In his profession, indeed, all his wit was argument, and each of his delighful illus trations a material step in his reasoning. To himself it seemed always as if they were recommended rather for their use

than their beauty. And unquestionably they often enabled him to state a fine argument, or a nice distinction, not only in a more striking and pleasing way, but actually with greater precision, than could have been attained by the severer forms of reasoning,

In this extraordinary talent, as well as in the charming facility of his eloquence, and the constant radiance of good humour and gaiety which encircled his manner in debate, he had no rival in his own times, and has yet had no successor. That part of eloquence is now mute,-that honour in abeyance.

As a Politician, he was eminently distinguished for the two great virtues of inflexible steadiness to his principles, and invariable gentleness and urbanity in his manner of asserting them. Such, indeed, was the habitual sweetness of his temper, and the fascination of his manners, that though placed, by his rank and talent, in the obnoxious station of a Leader of Opposition, at a period when political animosities were carried to a lamentable height, no individual, it is believed, was ever known to speak or to think of him with any thing approaching to personal hostility. In return, it may be said, with equal correctness, that though baffled in some of his pursuits, and not quite handsomely disappointed of some of the honours to which his claim was universally admitted, he never allowed the slightest shade of discontent to rest upon his mind, nor the least drop of bitterness to mingle with his blood. He was so utterly incapable of rancour, that even the rancorous felt that he ought not to be made its victim.

He possessed, in an eminent degree, that deep sense of Revealed Religion, and that zealous attachment to the Presbyterian Establishment, which had long been hereditary in his family. His habits were always strictly moral and temperate, and in the latter part of his life even abstemious. Though the life and the ornament of every society into which he entered, he was always most happy and most delightful at home, where the buoyancy of his spirits, and the kindness of his heart, found all that they required of exercise or enjoyment; and though without taste for expensive pleasures in his own person, he was ever most indulgent and munificent to his children, and a liberal benefactor to all who depended on his bounty.

He finally retired from the exercise of that profession, the highest honours of which he had at least deserved, about the year 1812, and spent the remainder of his days in domestic retirement at that beautiful villa which had been formed by his own taste, and in the improvement and adornment of which he found his latest occupation. Passing, then, at once from all the bustle and excitement of a public life to a scene of comparative inactivity, he never felt one moment of ennui or dejection; but retained unimpaired, till within a day or two of his death, not only all his intellectual activity and social affections, but, when not under the immediate affliction of a painful and incurable disease, all that gaiety of spirit, and all that playful and kindly sympathy with innocent enjoyment, which made him the idol of the young, and the object of cordial attachment and unenvying admiration to his friends of all ages.

After her death, upwards of L. 60 in bank bills, and L. 3 in silver, were found in her apartment, which she had completely filled with clothes, provisions, and fuel, piled up to the roof, leaving only about four feet round the fireplace of vacant space; yet the poor wretch appeared uniformly in the same tattered garb upwards of 20 years, and is supposed to have shortened the period of her existence by abstaining from the common necessaries of life.

He will long be remembered as a self-taught artist in musical instrument making, book-binding, and other ingenious arts. Some years ago, he actually began and finished an organ of sufficient dimensions for a moderate sized church. It appears, by records still extant, that his ancestors were inhabitants of Banwell prior to A. D. 1331, 22d Henry VIII. as one of them, Edmund Keen, was

a parish officer that year. In the year 1555, 3d Philip and Mary, William and Robert Keen, two brothers of this family, died, and were buried in the same grave; and a similar melancholy occurrence took place in the family in 1811, as two young men, neither of them twenty years old, named George and Jacob Keen, brothers, and grandsons of the subject of the present memoir, died within a week of each other, and were interred in the same grave.
