an eminent musical genius of England, third son of the Rev. Charles Wesley, was born Feb. 24, 1766. He composed the oratorio of Ruth before he was eight years of age, and in his later years he was considered the most remarkable extemporaneous player in Europe. Among his compositions were, a Grand Mass for the chapel of pope Pius VI; a Complete Service for the Cathedrals of the Church of England anthems, sonatas, and duets for the pianoforte, and voluntaries for the organ. He died Oct. 11, 1837. See (Lond.) Gentleman's Magazine, 1837, 2, 544.
