Legende „HENRY KIRKE WHITE. | This interesting character was a native of Nottingham. He died at Cam- | bridge, Octobr. 19; 1806, and in the course of twenty-one years, (the span of his brief but illustrious career,) by indefatigable perseverance in study, | unquenchable ardour of genius, and sincere piety, distinguished him- | self as a scholar, a poet, and a Christian: whose reliques will long con- | tinue to excite public interest, and whose story, though mournful, | will nevertheless be held in remembrance, as a cheering example | to youthful genius, when struggling with poverty, or assailed by temptation.“
