JAMES, an antiquary of considerable eminence, was born in London in 1773, and educated at Westminster School, where he became a good classical scholar, and displayed a great taste for antiquities. He wished at one time to enter the army, but was prevented by the state of his health; and when about to go to one of the English universities, his future course was entirely changed by his father's repairing with his family to France, under the influence of the bright hopes inspired by the French revolution. Millingen resided in Paris for some time, where he was imprisoned as a British subject by order of the Convention. When released he became partner in a banking establishment, and continued his study of numismatics. Millingen having undertaken a journey to Italy, died at Florence in 1845. His principal works are:—*Recueil de Médailles Grecques Inédites*, Rome, 1812; *Peintures Antiques Inédites de vases Grecques*, Rome, 1813; *Ancient Unedited Monuments of Grecian Art*, London, 1823; and *Ancient Coins of Greek Cities and Kings*, London, 1831.
