      especially from a set of men , whom ti noted bishop described as inhabitants of the frigid zone ?—Rather then let Dissenters remain

      quiet spectators of the persecution referred to , or at most unite their contributions to those of their countrymen at large . Britons are remarkable for the zeal and

      ardour with which they enter into any rational plans of benevolence : there is therefore no danger of their allowing a worthy man ; jrmch less a worth } , aged clergyjnan to suffer the loss of any rca-

      the moment , under a mental disease , there can be little question what inference the world will form upon the matter . That Mr .

      K . was afflicted , more than once with a grievous disorder , I have told the readers of my sermon . From a consideration , which no feeling and candid mind will

      censure , I have purposely intimated the nature of the malady in terms the least offensive to the eye and ear of friendship . More than this , I have not thought it necessary to say ; because I urn

      judged proper to detail any of the circumstances of the event . The claims of precision and truth being satisfied , those of sympathy come

      to be considered . With pleasure I have remarked , that in many , and some of them recent ,

      instances—instances , too , where no doubt could exist as to the proximate cause of the catastrophe—c / rlicacy has forborne to gratify public curiosity , at the expence of the

      feelings of surviving friends : and I see not why a silence so commonly observed , and in almost every case , so liighJy approved , should now be violated .
