1825.] OBITUARY.-J. R. Syms, Esq.-Dr. Taylor.-T. Bland, Esq. 187 JAMES RENAT SYMS, Esq. July 30. At Edmonton, aged 73, James Renat Syms, Esq. He was for many years a wine merchant in Pudding-lane. In 1784 he was elected a representative in Common Council for the Ward of Bridge, and was a useful and intelligent member of that Court, where he was a regular attendant and a frequent speaker. In 1797 he was elected to the office of Common Crier and Serjeant at Arms of the City of London, an office both of dignity and emolument, being one of the Esquires of the Lord Mayor's Household. He was for many years Treasurer of the General Sea Bathing Infirmary established at Margate, which highly useful charity was much indebted to his zeal and perseverance in promoting its interests. The London Life Association was originally formed at his suggestion, and according to his plan; and in 1823 the Directors voted that his portrait, ably executed, and splendidly framed, should be placed in their Council Room in Cannon-street, where Mr. Syms was the resident Director. At the age of 75, every faculty was unimpaired, and the powers of his mind in their meridian brightness and strength. His death was very sudden. On the Friday preceding he had transacted business with his usual talent and acuteness, at the London Life Association. He slept that night at his house near Edmonton, and rose on Saturday morning, cheerful and apparently well. He conversed gaily with a friend who was walking in his garden, and who had passed the night at his house. He was shortly afterwards seized with an attack in his stomach: vomiting and exhaustion followed, and in about two hours he calmly breathed his last, without a struggle or a groan. JOHN TAYLOR, M. D. Lately. At the house of Miss Manley, Castle-street, Reading, aged 83, John Taylor, M. D. an eminent physician, who practised at Reading and its neighbourhood for upwards of half a century, distinguished for skill, attention, and success. To the poor his advice and assistance were gratuitously rendered, and his private charities were extensive. He was born and educated at Manchester, whence he entered at Brazen-nose College, Oxford, acquired a high character for learning and general knowledge, and proceeded A. M. 1766; M. B. 1769, and M.D. 1780. In 1808 he sustained a severe loss by the death of his only child Lieut.-Colonel Taylor, who was rising by his bravery and meritorious conduct to the highest military honours, when his country was deprived of his services, in a spirited charge which he made on the enemy at the battle of Vimiera. See a character of him in vol. LXXVIII. 963. He was M. A. of Christ Church, Oxford, and in that Cathedral a handsome monument has been erected to his memory. Dr. Taylor was brother to Charles Taylor, M.D. the Secretary to the Society of Arts, of whom see vols. LXXXVI. ii. 377, LXXXVIII. i. 373. THOMAS BLAND, Esq. Aug. 8. At the Brew-house, in Chiswell-street, in his 23d year, Thomas, eldest son of Michael Blaud, esq. of Montagueplace, Russell-square. His disorder was the small pox, twenty-two years after vaccination. The firmness of his religious principles, the sweetness of his disposition, and his high and honourable sentiments, combined with the faithful discharge of every duty of life in which he was engaged, lead those who knew him, to regret very deeply that his race has been so short. No longer ago than the month of September 1818, we recorded the death of his excellent grandfather, an old and valued contributor to our Miscellany. DEATHS. LONDON AND ITS ENVIRONS. Lately.
