He was greatgrandson of sir Paul Barret, of Lee, serjeant-at-law, recorder of CanterLuvas bary, and M. P. for New Romney, knighted by Charles II. at Whitehall, Aug. 7, 1683. His father, Thomas Barrett, esq. who died about 1757, was a well-known collector, and possessed many valuable pictures and curiosities, to which his son made material additions. In 1773, on the death of Sir Thomas Hales, Mr. Barrett, was elected M. P. for Dover, after one of the most violent contests ever known, with the present Mr. Trevanion. At the general election, the next year, his love of quiet induced him to decline again entering the lists. About 1783, he began to alter and new-model his house at Lee in the gothic style, under the direction of Mr. James Wyatt; and it will scarcely be deemed too much to say, that it has been made the most beautiful specimen of the kind existing. So, at least, lord Orford thought; and he has expressed his admiration of it in a note to the later editions of the "Anecdotes of Painting." A short character of it may also be seen in the third vol. of Hasted's Kent; which passage, indeed, was written by lord Orford himself; and, had it not been deemed necessary a little to vary and curtail it, to adapt it to the historian's plan, would have appeared still more advantageously.

Her hair continued to her death of the finest jet black, and scarcely a wrinkle deformed her countenance; but she had been conined to her bed many years, and, for the last two, was totally deaf. Her father, Peter L. C. was footman to Louis XIV. who used to take a great deal of notice of her when she was a child, and oftentimes dandled her on his knees. When she was twelve years old, her father, who was a native of Castres, took her with him to Toulouse, and was was perfectly skilled in the arts, and warmly attached to them; his memory was powerful; and his know ledge of history, memoirs, and topography, extensive and exact. He loved books, and made numerous and splendid additions to his father's valuable library. In truth, the design, the decorations, and the contents, of the library at Lee, as they are peculiar, are, in many respects, unrivalled. The cabinets too, have, amongst their curious contents, the exquisite original miniature, by Holbein, of Anne of Cleves, to which the engraved print, among Houbraken's heads, does much injustice The grounds at Lee, which he delighted in adorning, possess a character congenial to the building. His polished manners, social habits, integrity, charity, and many amiable virtues, will long be remembered, with regret, by his friends, and the neighbourhood in which he resided. He died unmarried, and has left his estates to his great nephew and heir, Thomas Barret Brydges, a minor, at Harrow-school, eldest son of his niece, by Samuel Egerton Bridges, of Denton, esq. on condition of taking his name. 12th.

The carriage appeared every day regularly at the door, though it was seldom used. The last time she appeared in public was at Bath; where her eccentric appearance and behaviour were the topic of conversation daily in the pump-room, and other places. Though she was usually in town during the fashionable season, no one was admitted to see her; and the summer was always passed at her villa at Richmond, in Surry. Mrs. Levy died immensely rich: in her banker's hands, property was vested to the amount of 125,0001. No will has yet been found, nor is it known whether she has any relation to inherit her property.
