    A Brikf Memoir of the Life of Samuel Shore , Esq ., Of Meersbrook , near Sheffield , who died on the \ 6 th 0 / November , 1828 , at the age of Ninety ,

    [ From the Sheffield Independent . ] When we have to speak of the early years of one whose life was extended through three ages of man , we are carried back to times and circumstances and characters which may well be supposed to have never come within the knowledge of the great majority of our

    readers , or to have passed from their remembrance 4 Yt ? t there are some among them who may still be able to recollect the ^ father of Mr . Shore , for he , like his son , found of that heavenly Wisdom to which both were devoted , that length of days is in her right hand .

Nor should the exposure be withheld where it shall appear that the mention of his name and writings has been studiously avoided . For Dr . Priestley ' s correspondence , I have been supplied by the kind attentions of several friends , especially of Mr . Belsham , with a considerable number of his letters . The same friendly assistance from other well-wishers to my

    design , would enable me to make some valuable additions . My friend , Mr . Eaton , will obligingly receive , and forward any letters or packets addressed to me at No . 1 & 7 , High Holborn . Any packets may be left , if more convenient , at the London Institution . I take tliis opportunity of saying , that Vol . XXV . will contain , with the Indexes , the few remaining works of Dr . Priestley comprehended in nay plan .

    Those subscribers who have not received the whole of the 23 Volumes already printed , will , I trust , from a reasonable consideration of an editor's convenience , immediately inform me , at Mr . Eaton ' s , as to what volumes they are dencieut , and where , in London , they may be de ~ livered to their address . J . T . BUTT .

Shore had been engaged very extensively in commercial undertakings connected with the mineral riches of this district . Some he himself originated , in others , he followed up the well-laid designs of his father , who

    lived till 1751 , and was , in his day , one of the most enterprising and successful of our merchants . But the foundation of the fortune of the family might be said to be laid still earlier , and to be connected even with the feudal state of Sheffield ; for the writer of this memoir has heard the late Mr . Shore speak of the large purchases made by his grandfather when the fine forests of

    Hallam-Bhire were cut down , as having contn * buted to the advancement of the family . In the two generations which nre-
