I,was born on the twelfth of February (old flyle) 1739, of an ancient family at Marnham, in the county of Nottingham. Not being the eldefl fon, and my father having but a moderate ellate and nine other children, it was not in his power to do much for me. I received partofmy education at Newark, and during afew of the lafi. Years, attended the Latin School. I was one year'at Randall's Academy, at Heath in Yorkfhire; from. Whence I returned and continued another year at Newark. On the firpt of February 1753, I was appointed a Gentleman Cadet, in the Cadet Company at vvoolwich, where I had the oppor tunity of improving my felf, at the Royal Academy in that place, for one year. But, forry am I to fay, that either the want of genius or of application, rendered of little ufe to me, the in ilruétions of thofe excellent mailers with which that inllitution was then furniihed.
