AFFLECK, Sir James, the third
Baronet of Dalham, Suffolk (1782),
a General in the army, and for thirty-
eight years Lieut.-Col. of the 15th
Dragoons; August 10. 1833, at Dal-
ham Hall, aged 74.
The first Baronet of the family was
Sir James's uncle, Rear-Admiral Sir
Edmund Affleck, so created in con-
sequence of his having been Com-
mander of the centre division in the
memorable engagement between Sir
George Rodney and the Comte de
Grasse. The title having been con-
ferred with remainder to the Admiral's
brothers, it was first inherited by his
nephew Sir Gilbert, who dying in
1808 without issue, it devolved on his
cousin-german Sir James; and he also
having now deceased unmarried, it
descends a third time to a collateral
heir.
Sir James was the only son of the
Rev. James Affleck, by Miss Mary
Proctor, and was born the 29th of
April, 1759. He commenced his
military career as Ensign in the 43d
foot, February 29. 1776; in the fol-
lowing April he went out to America,
where he remained until the end of
1778; when, in consequence of a
severe wound received at Rhode Island,
he returned to England, with the rank
of Captain. In the following spring
he again went to America, but re-
turned in the same year with the regi-
ment. In Sept. 1779, he received a
company in the 26th, which he ex-
changed for the Captain-Lieutenancy
of the 23d Light Dragoons, in Jan.
1782, and sailed for India in March
following. In 1786 he returned to
England in consequence of ill-health;
and in July of that year obtained the
Majority of the 19th Light Dragoons.
In the spring of 1789 he went a second
time to India, and in 1791 again re-
turned from ill-health.
He received the brevet of Lieut.-
Colonel in 1794, and in 1795 the
Lieut.-Colonelcy of the 16th Light
Dragoons, which he retained to his
death. He was promoted to the brevet
of Colonel, Jan. 1. 1798; was ap-
pointed Brigadier-General in Ireland
in May, 1803; a Major-General 1805;
Lieut.-General 1811, and General
Sir James Affleck succeeded to the
Baronetcy July 16. 1808. He has
died unmarried, and is succeeded in
the title by the Rev. Sir Robert Affleck,
Rector of Silkstone in Yorkshire, and
a Prebendary of York. - Gentleman's

AIREY, Lieut.-General Sir George,
K.C. H., Colonel of the 39th regiment
of foot; Feb. 18. 1833; at Paris.
This officer entered the army in
1779, as an Ensign in the 91st Foot,
and in January following sailed with
that corps to the West Indies, where
he served a year at St. Lucie, and then
returned home in ill-health. Having
obtained a Lieutenancy in the 91st in
1781, he exchanged into the 48th in
Jan. 1782. In Jan. 1788 he again
sailed with the latter to the West In-
dies, where he purchased a company in
November following; in 1790 he came
home on leave, and joined the regiment
again in 1792. On the expedition un-
der Sir C. Grey coming out, the 48th
was drafted, and Capt. Airey volun-
teered his services; he was employed
in the succeeding campaign, and com-
manded the light company of the 65th
regiment; on the conclusion of the
campaign he rejoined his regiment at
Plymouth, in Oct. 1794.
He was next appointed aid-de-camp
to Lieut.-Gen. Tonyn. In the winter
of 1795 he again sailed with his regi-
ment to the West Indies, and served
there as Assistant Adjutant-General.
On the 1st of May, 1796, he received
the Majority of the 68th, and returned
to England; on the 4th of May, 1798,
he purchased the Lieut.-Colonelcy of
the 8th foot. In that year he went out
with his regiment to Minorca, and from
thence proceeded with the army under
Sir Ralph Abercromby to Cadiz and
to Malta; he was then again sent to
Minorca, as Deputy Quartermaster-
General under General Fox, and after-
wards to Elba as Commandant of the
British troops serving in Porto Ferrajo,
while that place was beseiged by the
French, and retained possession until
the peace of 1802, when he rejoined
General Fox as Deputy Quartermaster-
General, and remained with that officer
until his return to England. He was
next appointed to the staff in Ireland
under Gen. Fox, and afterwards accom-
panied him to Gibraltar as Military
Secretary; from the latter place he
went with the General to Sicily, where
(with the exception of going to Egypt
as Secretary to Lieut.-Gen. Mackenzie
Fraser) he served until 1813, as Deputy
Adjutant-General. He received the
brevet of Colonel in 1808. In 1810
he commanded a brigade in Sicily,
during the threatened invasion of Mu-
rat, in addition to his duties of Deputy
Adjutant-General. He vacated that
situation in February, 1811, on being
appointed Brigadier-General. In June
following he became Major-General on
the staff of Sicily; and in December
proceeded to take the command of the
Ionian Islands, where he continued
until 1813. He then received the ap-
pointment of Quartermaster-General to
the forces in Ireland, which he retained
for several years. He attained the
rank of Lieut.-General in 1821, and
was appointed to the Colonelcy of the
39th regiment in 1823.
Sir George Airey married the Hon.
Catherine Talbot, third daughter of
Lady Talbot of Malahide, by whom
he has left a numerous family. His
eldest daughter, Margaret, was married
in 1830 to the Hon. and Rev. Sir
Francis Jervis Stapleton, Bart., son of
the late Lord le Despencer, and uncle
to the present Baroness.- Royal Mili-
tary Calendar.
ALLEN, Mr. Thomas, July 20.
1833, in the City Road, of cholera,
after an illness of less than twelve
hours; aged 30.
This ingenious young man was the
son of the late Mr. J. Allen, an en-
graver of maps, and at a very early
age undertook a history of the parish
of Lambeth, which he completed in a
creditable manner in 1827, under great
disadvantages. He subsequently be-
came the author of various works pub-
lished in a periodical form, at the time
when the rage for cheap and embellished
publications first engaged the public
attention. The "Survey of London"
was his second work, in which is con-
densed a greater degree of information
than in any of the modern histories of
the metropolis. The writer of these
lines, who now so unexpectedly pays
this last tribute to his industry and ex-
ertions, accompanied him in many of
his surveys, and was a witness to the
difficulties which attended the publica-
tion. As the sheets were composed,
they were issued, in many cases with
errors of the press and otherwise un-
corrected; yet when he looks back to
the work, he feels a satisfaction that so
much has been rescued from the hands
of time, and only regrets that the
author had not more control over the
publication.
At the same period, in conjunction
with a gentleman of the legal profes-
sion, he projected a history of the
borough of Southwark, and proceeded
to make many collections for the pur-
pose, when the publication was aban-
doned in consequence of the want of
co-operation which he was induced to
expect.
In 1829 he engaged with Mr. Hinton
to survey and publish a history of the
county of York, in pursuance of
which he visited the greater part of
the county, and in the course of his
travels made a multitude of valuable
sketches of interesting objects of anti-
quity.
The plates of Lambeth and London
were etched by himself from his own
drawings; some of them are very cre-
ditable to his talents.
Mr. Allen also projected a histori-
cal and topographical atlas of England
and Wales, announced in vol. xcix. ii.
p. 356; on a plan which, had it been
completed, would have formed a very
useful work.
