	Obituary, Thomas Addison obituary Aged 72 years (46 of which he had been curate of Thornthwaite, near Keswick), the Rev. Thomas Addison; a gentleman very emminent for his mathematical acquirements, and equally respected in his neighbourhood as a divine, a physician, and a lawyer. The services he rendered to the circle of his acquaintance (too contracted for a person of his endowments) will be long remembered with gratitude. His income never exceeded 20l. per ann.; yet from that, and some advantages derived from a situation which (it is plain) could not afford much, he died possessed of more than 800l. While this affords a striking instance of the effect of oeconomy in an individual, it furnishes a true anecdote, not unworthy the notice of those who collect every species of information respecting the fashionable Tour of the Lakes.
