22. _David Lloyd_, L.L.D. He was a native of Cilcennin in Cardiganshire. After having spent some time at school in that neighbourhood he was sent to the grammar school at Caermarthen, then a very reputable seminary. He went afterwards to Jesus College in Oxford, where he took the degree of L.L.B. and afterwards that of L.L.D. {1079} After having acquitted himself very creditably as usher at some school in the vicinity of the metropolis, he was chosen master of the Lynn Grammar School in 1760; which situation he filled with great reputation to himself, and equal advantage to his pupils for the long space of 34 years. It does not appear that this school was ever in so flourishing a state under any other master, unless it was in the time of Mr. _Horne_, who was so long at the head of it, as was before observed. Dr. LL. was unwearied in his attention to the literary improvement of the youth placed under his care, and to the forming of them to be useful members of society in the different departments for which they were designed; in which he appears to have been in no small degree successful, as may be seen by the number of those who were once his pupils and now usefully occupy very respectable stations of life. The Doctor went into orders late in life; (at the age of 50 or upwards) and having no preferment in the church he preached but seldom, confining himself entirely to the duties of his other profession. He died in 1794, and was buried in the chancel of St. Margaret’s church. A stone with the following inscription marks his grave— “_Sacred to the Memory of_ _The revd. DAVID LLOYD_, _L.L.D._ _Master of the Grammar School in this town for_ 34 _years_; _Who departed this life Nov._ 19. 1794, _aged_ 60 _years_. _In him were united_, _with all the virtues of private life_, _those inestimable_ _qualities which ought ever to characterize the instructor of youth_. _To the authority of a Tutor he added the tenderness of a Father_, _Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit_.”
