late Lieut.-General of
His Majesty’s Forces and
Col.-Commandant of the
8th Batt. of the Royal Regiment
of Artillery, Controller of the
Royal Laboratory and Superintendent
of the Royal Military Repository,
of which most valuable Institution
he was the Founder.

His ardent devotion to his country’s
service in his military character
and his inflexible integrity in
the discharge of his civil offices
are universally acknowledged.

In the former he served with
distinguished reputation at the
sieges of Louisburg, the Havannah
and Martinique, in most of the
campaigns during the American War,
and commanded the Brigade of Artillery
under H.R.H. the Duke of York,
in Flanders.

In the latter he had the happiness
of saving his country more than
One million sterling, yet died

Daniel OLIVER,

in the 78th year of her age
humbly trusting in the atonement
of the Redeemer, Whose example
she prayerfully strove to follow
throughout a life of unobtrusive
charity.
