3. At his houfe in Crown-ftreet, Wefte minster, the Rev. and learned Andrew Kippis, D. D. F. R. and A. S. He was born at Nottingham, March 28, (O. S.) 1725. His father, a refpectable tradefman of that town, was defcended from the Rev. Benjamin King, of Oakham, Rutlandshire, an ejected Min.fter; and his mother, Ann Ryther, was the grand-daughter of the Rev. joan Ryther, who was ejected from the church of Ferr by, in the county of York. In the year 1750, le loft his father, and went to ride with is grandiather, Andrew Kipps, or Seaford in Lincoluth.re. He received his claffical education at the Grammar .cool in that town; but what contributed moft to his future emirence, was the friendship of the Rev.

Mr.

Mr Merrival, who was equalled by few of his contemporaries in variou, branchee of learning, particularly in his acquaintance with the claffics, his knowledge of ancient and modern hiftory, and his refined taste in the belles lettres. Dr. K. frequently faid, that it was impoffible for him to exprefs his obligations to this friend of his youth. In 1741, be removed to Northampton, and commenced his academical ftudies under Dr. Doddridge. After a refidence of five years at the academy, he was invited by feveral congregations to become their Minifter. Though he was preffed to futtle at Dorchefter, and had been chofen their Minifter, he gave the preference to an invitation from Potton, in Lincolnshire, where he went to refide in September 1746. Here he continued four years; and in November 1750, accepted the paftoral charge of a congregation at Dorking, in Surry. The songregation meeting in Princes-ftreet, Weftmister, having been without a Minifter about two years, he was chofen, in June 1753, to fuccced the Rev. Dr. Obadiah Hughes. On the 21ft of September following, he married, at Boston, Mi Elizabeth Bott, one of the daughters of Mr. Ifaac Bott, a merchant of that place; and in the month of October fixed his refidence in Westminster. In June 1767, he received the degree of D. D. from the Univerity of Edinburgh, on the unfolicited recommendation of the late learned Profeffor Robertfon. He wa elected a member of the Society of Antiquaries on the 19th of March 1778, and on the 17th of June 1779, he was thofen a Fellow of the Royal Society. In both Societies, he had the honour of being in the Council two years.

Dr. Kippis was eminently diftinguished for the virtues and accomplishments which form the chief ornaments of private life. With a fuavity of manners and urbanity of behaviour peculiarly attractive, he united that knowledge of men and books which rendered his converfation uncommonly entertaining and inftructive to the circle of his acquaintance and friend. As a Minifter, he was not less eminent for his profound acquaintance with every branch of Theology than for the happy manner in which he applied it to the improvement of those who attended his ministry. His fermons were remarkable for perfpicuity, elegance, and energy; and his elocution was unaffected and very impreffive, particularly at the clofe of his difcourfes. But the fuperior powers and vigour of mind which he derived from nature, and which he had cultivated with unremitting diligence and peculiar fuccefs, were not to be confined to the narrow limits of private life and the duties of the paftoral charge, however important:

[ocr errors]

they were defigned for more extensive and important fervices to his country and to mankind. The interefts of literature, science, and religion, have received from the exertion of his talents, as a writer, the mot effent.ar advantages. His firft efforts in Literature were made in the Gentleman's Magazine, a periodical publication called the Library, and the Monthly Review; to each of which he contributed many important articles, efpecially in the historical and philological de partments of the laft. He was the author of three important tract, viz. "A Vindi-, cation of the Pro eftant Diffenting Minifters, &c." "Obfervations on the Late Contents in the Royal Society;" and "Confiderations on the Treaty with America, &c.” His improved edition of Dr. Dodder.dge's Lectures is a work of great value; and "The History of Knowledge, Learning, and Tafter in Great Britain," prefixed to the New Annual Regifter, merits, and has received, the approbation of the public. He publifhed at different times feveral fingle fermons among which, that on the death of his friend, the Rev. Mr. Laugher, is entitled to very high praife. The greater part of thefe he re-published, with other practical discourses, in the year 1794; but the work which, next to the ftudies immediately connected with his office as a Chriftian Minifter, engaged his principal attention, and by which he has long been diftinguifhed, is, the improved edition of the "Biographia Britannica." In this great national publication, the comprehensivenese and powers of his mind, the correctness of his judgment, the vast extent of his information, his indefatigable refearches and unremitting affiduity, his peculiar talent of appreciating the merits and analyzing the labours of the most eminent writers, and his unshaken integrity, unbiaffed fidelity, and impartial decifion on the characters of the Philofopher Statefman, Post, Scholar, and Divine, are ftrongly displayed, and univerfally acknow ledged. His ftyle, formed on the models of Sir William Temple and the claffical Addison, is remarkable for its perfpicuity, elegance, and purity; and gives a peculiar luftre to the rich ftores of knowledge treasured in the volumes now published. This work has given him as high rank among the Literati of this cour try, and will carry down his name with diflinguifhed reputation to pofterity.
