3. At London, Laurence Dundas Campbell, Esq. By the death of this Gentleman the republic of letters has lost a most able and ardent member. There was nothing in the walks of literature or politics in which the variety and versatility of his talents did not enable him to take a lead. Circumstances, however, necessarily con. fined his pursuits to the affairs of our empire in India, and of these he possessed a profound and philosophic knowledge.Mr Campbell was the first who set on foot, in 1798, the Asiatic Annual Register, and who has since conducted it with such abi

lity and success. To that work we may well refer for Mr Campbell's minute and accurate knowledge of our Indian affairs, which has been still further manifested in his strictures on the charges recently brought against the Marquis Wellesley in the House of Commons. At the moment of his last illness, he was occupied in writ ing the history of the administration of that distinguished nobleman in India; and the public have to regret that Mr Campbell has not lived fully to complete a work that would have most satisfactorily demonstrated the masterly and comprehensive scheme of policy which the noble Marquis had digested, and laid down as the most efficient rule for the government of our Indian empire. In short, Mr Campbell's intellectual endowments could only be surpassed by that mildness of manners, and amenity of disposition, which gave so powerful a charm to his social virtues, in all the relations and all the habitudes of private life.
