1826. JOHN KAY, caricaturist, engraver, barber, and miniature painter, died in Edinburgh. His small shop in Parliament close, was a great lounging place for the idlers of the town. 1827.

He is distinguished for his experiments in cookery; he treated eating and drinking as the only serious business of life, and promulgated the laws of the culinary art, under the title of the _Cook's Oracle_, professedly founded on his own practice. He possessed an ample fortune, which enabled him to follow the bent of his eccentricities. 1831. JOHN BELL, who gave direction and name to _Bell's Weekly Messenger_ at London, died. 1833.

He was attached to the court of Queen Anne, was eminent in his profession, and distinguished as a wit in an age abounding with men of wit and learning. 1738. HENRY GROOVE, an English divine, died.
