The subject of this memoir was accustomed to express his inestimable obli gations to the Reverend Dr . Toulmin , whose friendly regards he enjoyed , and the benefits of whose pastoral care he experienced , during the time of that excellent and truly
Christian Minister ' s residence at Tauuton He held himself indebted to the favour of another Gentleman , the Reverend and venerable John Ward , who was distinguished by his erudition , and skill in biblical criticism 5 and who finished his labours , with crr ^ at serenity and good reputation , in
that town . He was aware of the advantages that may be derived from the counsels and co-operation of our faithful friends , in promoting and vindicating our most important interests . In the words of Lord Vertilam , " The best
way to represent to the life the manifold use of friendship , is to cast and see how many things there are which a man cannot do himself ; and then it will appear that it was a sparing
speech of the ancients that a friend is another himself ; for a friend is far more than himself . " The utility of the said principle in promoting the cause of truth , has given rise to those Christian Associations for the
distribution of books ; to one of which , the Western . Unitarian Society , he belonged as a zealous member from its first institution .

With respect to the measure of happiness which may fall to the lot of man in the days of his mortality , he was taught by the vicissitudes of
prosperity and adversity to deem them happy who die well , and not such as live welly or ** fare sumptuously , " yet are exposed to the fluctuations of time and nature .
Finally , of him it may be said in the words of the wise , that he was a man * ' who feared God , but not death ; and maintained independence , but sought not riches ; who thought none below him but the base and unjust ;
none above hi < n but the wise and virtuous ; " and who , sensible to the relations dear , and all the charities of husband , father , and brother , rejoiced in the goodness of God ; and devoted
his life to the service of his family and friends ; relying on the divine mercy in the forgiveness of his errors and frailties , which are buried in oblivion ; while his good qualities will ever rest embalmed in the bosom of
those who were nearest and dearest to his heart . * W . E .
