Excerpt from Remains of the Late Thomas Wright Hill, Esq. F. R. A. S: Together With Notices of His Life, &C, The late Mr. Thomas Wright Hill was, during the greater part of his life, in the habit of employing his leisure in devising plans and schemes for general improvement. He never, however, published anything, but, being desirous that his work should not be lost, on his death-bed, requested his eldest son, Mr. Commissioner Hill, Q.C., to print such of his papers as were of a character to be permanently interesting. Among the papers were a notice of Mr. T. W. Hill's ancestors, which he dictated in the year 1848, and an autobiography in 1850, the year preceding his death. As this autobiography extends only to Mr. T. W. Hill's tenth year, Mr. Commissioner Hill has added a very brief sketch of his subsequent life. Mr. Frederic Hill, whose avocations, fortunately, permitted him to spend much time in attending his father's death-bed, kept a diary of what fell from Mr. T. W. Hill at that time.
