attention , —giving proof that he would soon attain a considerable knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages— -making himself , at the same time , acquainted with other branches of learning , necessary for the Christian ministry . But
alas ! the termination of the year proved the termination of his literary careeran accident with his knee , previous to his coming to Islington , had occasioned a painful swelling in the part : —on his return to the country * it grew worse- *—
and ended in amputation . But it was too late—the complaint induced a consumptive habit—and a premature decay of the vital powers , brought him to his grave . He bore the operation , and endured his last illness with amazing fortitude and resignation . He was interred , March 2 , 0 th , at his own desire , in front of . the
Meeting-house at Rolvcnden , and was carried thither by four ministers . An appropriate Address was deiivered at the grave , by Mr- S . Bhandell , © f Rolvenden , and a suitable Discourse from the pulpit , by Mr . T . Payne , of Burwash , from JLuke , xxiii . 28 . Daughters of

They were his support while living , and the source of his consolation and hope in the hour of dissolution .
As a * husband and father , he was uniformly kind and affectionate . He wa » tenderly beloved by his children , and sincerely respected by all who knew hiiru His friends were not numerous , but they were most sincerely attached to him . ; he endeared them to him by the suavity of his manners , the unaffected goodness o £
his heart , the candour , openness and liberality of his disposition . He was a sin « cere and warm friend to civil as well as religious freedom , and , although he was not a noisy or clamorous partisan , yet , ; the cause of liberty , and the interests of any of its . true votaries , always found in him a sure anil steady advocate . He was
attacked about ten days before his death , by a severe typhus fever , which put a period to his mortal life , in the 64 th year of his age . Long will hi 6 memory be revered , and long may his example be imitated by his surviving children and friends . E . T . March * 5 tft , ifcoo , died , in . th «> &oth y ? ar of her age , Mrt .
