' A S it isone of the laudable objects x ^ L of the Repository to pay the due tribute of respect to w < Mi : b and talent , especially when they h ^ ve been devoted to the cause of liberty , civil and Feligidus , permit ine to request admission ii > t © your pages for the following Memoir of my late lamented friend
and neighbour , Mr . Mead ley . I am aware that this has been already done in another periodical publication , * by one who is in ttiany respectsmuch belter qualified for the taek ; but there is sometimes an advantage in having tb ^ e same object presented to beholders in different poiwts of view .
George Wilson Meablby was born at Sunderiand , January 1 , 1774 . He lost bis highly respected father in 1775 . Being the youngest child , and the only son , he was naturally the object of the tender and ii > du ) gent care of his excellent mother , who
( with her four daughters ) is now his mournful survivor . His early education was chtefly domestic ; and the reverence for truth and integrity , which He manifested through life , sufficiently shews the cave which had been taken to imbue his mind with religious and moral principles ; white the attention which had been shewn
to develope and exercise the powers of the mind , appears from ttoe proficiency which he soon made in cla » si £ al learning on his being entered , about 178 S , in the excellent gntnimar-achool of Witteti ^ le-Wear , under the < iare Of voi ,. aiciv . * " v
