Colchester, in August 1790, Lort was thrown out of his carriage, and he died from the effects of the accident at 6 Savile Row, London, 5 November 1790. He had married, in May 1783, Susannah Norfolk one of the two daughters of Alderman Norfolk of Cambridge. She died on 5 February 1792, aged 50, and was buried in the same vault with her husband in the church of Friday Street, a white marble tablet being placed on its north wall. On the demolition of the building the remains were removed in 1883 to the City of London cemetery at Ilford. Works He published little, but helped others. He printed a couple of sermons (1760 and 1770), edited in 1769 A Projecte conteyning the State of Governmente of the University of Cambridge, in the 43d year of the raigne of Queen Elizabeth, in 1785 had ‘a copy of the Alexandrian New Testament printed off on fine vellum,’ and in 1790 published A Short Commentary on the Lord's Prayer, from which Granville Sharp in 1806 took the observations on the last two petitions as an appendix to his own work on that subject. John Carter the architect obtained his ‘first insight and encouragement’ from him. Some of his manuscript lives were used by Alexander Chalmers in his Biographical Dictionary. James Granger obtained his aid in his portrait-dictionary, he assisted John Nichols in the Gentleman's Magazine and in other undertakings, and he contributed to Archæologia. Letters to and from him and Cole, Thomas Percy, and Horace Walpole are in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, and Illustrations of Literary History, and there are some letters and notes from him in Granger's Letters. Lort's English verses from the Gratulatio Academiæ Cantabrigiensis, 1748, on the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, are reprinted in Nichols's Collection of Poems, and another English poem by him is in Thomas Zouch's Works. The Greek verses in four collections of the University of Cambridge (1760–63) which bear Lort's name are reprinted in Zouch's Works (by whom it appears that they were written). His notes on the authorship of the Whole Duty of Man are in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, and his vindication of Horace Walpole with respect to Thomas Chatterton is in the Illustrations of Literary History. His books were sold from 5 April to 14 May 1791, and produced £1,269, and his prints, which were disposed of on 26 May and six following days, fetched
