The various Publications of Dr. Towers, the boldness of his principles, his unabated zeal and the fide he had taken during the Am,rican contest, all tended to render him confpicuous. The Doctor was admitted, in 1779, to the academical honours of the univerfity of Edinburgh, having received the degree of LL. D.

Dr. Towers, as a writer, poffeffed great accuracy of judgment, and great command of language; as a man, he was eminent for the benevolence of his views, and the difintereftedness of his conduct; he was animated by an enlightened and ardent attachment to civil and religious liberty, and was distinguished by the most intrepid and inflexible integrity.

In Abingdon-street, Weftminster, Mr. John Churchill, familiarly ftyled " Jack Churchill" by the numerous circle of friends who admired his good humour, and companionable qualities. Nobody understood mankind better than this gentleman; nobody had a more ready turn for repartee. His wit, though pointed, was fo much foftened by a jovial pleasantry, that the object of it was content to join in the laugh, at his own expence, without feeling refentment. Mr. Churchill, like his brother the poet, was strongly inclined towards politics: At one period of his life he was among the moft ardent fupporters of Mr. Fox, but latterly acted in the most

In

open enmity to the interefts of that great martyr to political confiftency, and the genuine principles of freedom. Mr. Churchill's babits, however, were more fixed than his political attachments, for he continued too focial, too much inclined to the enjoyment of private eafe, to be capable of that exertion which public ftations require. The illnefs which put a period to his life, had long preyed upon him, and was by no means fuftained with that degree of fortitude expected from a manly character.
