Harrifon, Knt. chamberlain of the city of London, and receiver-general of the land-tax, in the 65th year of his age, at Bath. He was chofen Chamberlain 4 years ago, and from that time devoted himfelf wholly to the discharge of that office; his application was unwearied, and his attendance on every public occafion conftant and punctual. In the nice and important province of deciding the differences between mafter and 'prentice his fagacity and benevolence were equally confpicuous. He heard with patience, he determined with impartiality, and he spared no pains to remove grievances, to fupprefs réfentments, and effect a lafting reconciliation. When he was compelled to punish, he ftill endeavoured, as much as poffible, to obviate the commou mischief of imprisonment, and to prevent its extinguishing fhime, and rendering vice obdurate. In the admiffion of freemen he administered the accufomed oath with proper folemnity, a duty too frequently neglected; and he behaved on that, and every occafion, with the most engaging courtesy. Whenever it became his duty to prefent any person of distinction with the honorary freedom of the city, his manner was fo refpectful and proper, and his addrefs fo well adapted to the perfon and the occafion, as gave the highest fatisfaction to the new citizen,, and equally reflected honour on himself and the corporation. As Receiver-General, he fullfilled his tru and tranfacted his business with fuch honour and integrity; with fuch accuracy and clearness; and with fuch order and dispatch,as gained him the highest approbation of his fuperiors. As to his political conduct, though he enjoyed fo confiderable a poft under the government, yet he conftantly preferved a generous independency, and was equally averfe to an abject fervility, and a factious oppofition. In all the focial and domeftic relations of life, his behaviour was moft exemplary and engaging. Whoever entered his houfe as a gueft, found fo hearty a welcome, and fo unaffected an hofpitality, and was entertained with fuch a flow of native good humour, and inoffenfive chearfulness, that it was impoffi ble to quit it without regret. But his benevolence was not confined to the circle of his friends and acquaintance; it extended itself to the ftranger, the fatherless, and the widow; and fcarce a day was undiftinguished by fome act of beneficence and compaffion. He was particularly induftrious to difcover the wants of those who were backward to make them known, and to do them effectual fervice without offending the ingenuous delicacy of their minds. In fhort, his bounty was directed without oftentation, to leffen the mifery, and promote the happiness of his fellow-creatures. But a fenfe of duty to his Creator was the prevailing principle of his life. He had fo lively and deep a fenfe of the many bleffings which Providence had heaped upon him, that he rejoiced to exprefs on every proper occafion his warm and unfeigned acknowledgments, and was fearful, after all, that his heart was too cold in its thankfulness to the father of mercies. He conftantly employed fome part of every day in private devotion, and never fuffered the night to pafs without affembling the family to join with him in prayer and thanksgiving. His attendance on the publié fervice of the church was punctual and confant. In short, he was exemplary in the difcharge of the feveral offices of christian piety, which fat fo eafy upon him, and was conftantly productive of such a benevolent chearfuinels as diffused delight among all about him, and reflected honour on the religion he profeffed. 3.
