Henry Tufton, See also:nephew of the See also:duke of See also:Dorset. In 1792 he obtained an engagement to travel with See also:Lord See also:Berwick through See also:Germany, See also:Switzerland and See also:Italy. After See also:crossing the See also:Alps, and visiting a few of the See also:principal cities of Italy, including See also:Rome, he went to See also:Naples, where he remained nearly two years. Having returned to See also:England in the summer of 1794, he became tutor in several distinguished families. In 1799 he set out with a Mr Cripps on a tour through the See also:continent of See also:Europe, beginning with See also:Norway and See also:Sweden, whence they proceeded through See also:Russia and the See also:Crimea to See also:Constantinople, See also:Rhodes, and afterwards to See also:Egypt and See also:Palestine. After the See also:capitulation of See also:Alexandria, Clarke was of considerable use in securing for England the statues, sarcophagi, maps, See also:manuscripts, &c., which had been collected by the See also:French savants. See also:Greece was the ccuntry next visited. From See also:Athens the travellers proceeded by See also:land to Constantinople, and after a See also:short stay in that See also:city directed their course homewards through See also:Rumelia, See also:Austria, Germany and See also:France. Clarke, who had now obtained considerable reputation, took up his See also:residence at Cambridge. He received the degree of LL.D. shortly after his return in 1803, on See also:account of the valuable donations, including a See also:colossal statue of the Eleusinian See also:Ceres, which he had made to the university. He was also presented to the college living of Harlton, near See also:Cam-See also:bridge, in 1805, to which, four years later, his father-in-See also:law added that of Yeldham. Towards the end of 18o8 Dr Clarke was appointed to the professorship of See also:mineralogy in Cambridge, then first instituted. Nor was his perseverance as a traveller otherwise unrewarded. The See also:MSS. which he had collected in the course of his travels were sold to the Bodleian library for £1000; and by the publication of his travels he realized altogether a clear profit of £6595. Besides lecturing on mineralogy and discharging his clerical duties, Dr Clarke eagerly prosecuted the study of See also:chemistry, and made several discoveries, principally by means of the See also:gas See also:blow-See also:pipe, which he had brought to a highdegree of perfection. He was also appointed university librarian in 1817, and was one of the founders of the Cambridge Philosophical Society in 1819. He died in See also:London on the 9th of See also:March 1822. The following is a See also:list of his principal See also:works:—Testimony of Authors respecting the Colossal Statue of Ceres in the Public Library, Cambridge (8vo, 1801–1803); The See also:Tomb of See also:Alexander, a Dissertation on the See also:Sarcophagus brought from Alexandria, and now in the See also:British Museum (4to, 1805); A Methodical See also:Distribution of the See also:Mineral See also:Kingdom (fol., See also:Lewes, 1807); A Description of the See also:Greek See also:Marbles brought from the Shores of the Euxine, See also:Archipelago and Mediterranean, and deposited in the University Library, Cambridge (8vo, 1809); Travels in various Countries of Europe, See also:Asia and See also:Africa (4to, 1810–1819; 2nd ed., 1811–1823).
