CHRONOLOGY.

1779. William Warburton, bishop of Gloucester, died. He was born at

Newark-upon-Trent, in 1698, followed the profession of an attorney,

relinquished it for the church, and became an eminently able and learned

prelate. His writings are distinguished by genius, but deformed by a

haughty and vindictive spirit.
