stance consistent with their convictions , I fully and freely declared ; he might think my decision would fairly admit of restrictions and qualifications according to circumstances , but upon that point , for reasons best known to himself , he did not think proper to be
explicit . Whatever there might be less excellent in this part of his character than was to be wished , I would gladly draw a veil over it , entertaining towards him the highest regard , esteem and respect in all other cases .
In a small and unhealthy body there was a soul of very fine and eminent powers * acute , sagacious , penetrating , judicious and discriminating . Mathematical demonstrations of a very abstruse kind he went over with all
the ease and spirit of a consummate master , seeing his way before him with a perspicuity truly admirable , and coining to his conclusion with the most complete accuracy and correctness . His memory was so retentive as to prevent his forgetting what he had once acquired , and his discern * ment such as to enable him in the
shortest time to discover in which vray new problems might be at once satisfactorily and expeditiously solved . In his heart dwelt all those gentle , mild and amiable virtues , which
render their possessor , independently of other qualifications , truly estimable ; but when united with the properties of a sound and vigorous intellect , exalt him to the level of the first and most
admirable characters that distinguish and reflect honour upon human nature , 1 esteem my acquaintance with this gentleman one of the most felicitous circumstances of my life , and I feel grateful beyond the powers of words
to express , that I have lived long enough to be able to bear my testimony without impeachment of adulation or interest , to the genuine excellence of one who , in my judgment , merits the joint appellation of a truly great and good man . THEOS . BROWNE . i—

Sir / August 15 , 18 t $ . GIVE me leave to suggest that your Correspondent ' s purpose ,
expressed p . 408 , would be most effectually attained if the worthy relict and biographer of Mr . Cappe would republish , in the form of the Unitarian Tracts , her Memoirs of that enlightened and exemplary Christian *
Such a Tract would come into the catalogues of all our Book Societies , which are at present but scantily supplied with biographical articles . Though Unitarians have Ji itherto appeared so small a minority , among
professing Christians in this country , yet they will be found , I am persuaded , to have furnished their full proportion of those who proved , by more than professions , that it was their first desire to love God and to obey tht gospel of his Son .
