Durant was a v ^ o iii an of strong- > int ; elr lect and lively imagination , and all her powers were called forth b y the interest which she felt in the mind and
morals of an only Child . No case is upon record in which success was more answerable to weH-plannted endeavours . The deceased youth was an universal favourite : his casual
acquaintances , ms fellow-students , his tatfrrs , and $ wide circle of friends , not to mention his o ^ n fam ily , looked to him with respect , affection and confidence . It is amongst the mysteries of Providence that such a mind
and heart should be suddenly overtaken by the night of death , and nothirty bat the promises of reii ^ km can relieve the anxiety aiid astonishment that such a spectacle excites . <' ¦ * We are little disposed to assume the office of critics © fc Mem bira such
as th £ se . The paternal biographer needed not to have wasted one ' bought upon the judgment that would be passed upon his composition . Had he been less afraid of the publit eye he
would have written still better , though the work , as it is , does credit to his understanding and feelings . Some things might have been prudently suppressed in the extracts from his son ' s
papers , and perhaps they are left out in the new edition of the Memoirs which we see advertised . However this may be , we do not hesitate , notwithstanding our difference in opinion from the writer on some essential
points , to recommemd liis volumes as containing a picture of a mincf and character , which none can behold withorft deep interest , and which y <> ung persons , and especially young men , may study with unspeakable advantage . ' ' . ; : . ; ; . ; ^ i ; ¦ * ' * * * ^^^^^^ B ^^^^ P ^^^^^^^^ ¦ ¦
