various walks of science ; Though ever ready with his pen and in his conversation to advocate his own religious opinions , as his tracts and the publications of the day evince , he maintained friendly intercourse with many of different and opposite persuasions , and with some of the highest rank in the Establishment ; and he had many friends whose attachme&t to him continued unabated through the whole of his long life .
He took an active part in most public works in his neighbourhood , was zealous and useful in the conduct of charitable institutions , for which he frequently received well-merited thanks . He was a frequent writer in the periodical publications of the day , and published several works himself . His work on America , written at a time when that country was much less familiar to us than it is at present , possesses much merit , and was well received .
His frequent journeys to foreign countries , and familiar intercourse witn strangers , imparted to his mind something of a romantic character ; and he often spoke of the pleasure he experienced at Rome in receiving , in common with other Englishmen , the thanks of those who were redeemed fromAlgerine slavery , in whose liberation he had been instrumental .
He was the first to propose , and the principal contributor to , the establishment in his native place , of a Dissenter ^' burial-ground for the use of all denominations , — -an advantage to Nonconformists , that relieves them from the necessity of conducting that service in a manner and form at variance with theft * opinions , and from a reluctant submission to an expense which they often fine ! burdensome . -
Mr . Wansey was a devout and a sincere Christian , and a conscientious Unitarian Dissenter ; possessed of cheerful views of the Divine providence , and a firm believer in a future state . His end was as tranquil as constant health anfl spirits had made his life generally happy . He had a paralytic stroke oh the 10 th July , and died on the 19 th , gradually sinking under his disorder , and calmly resigning his breath , without apparent pain .
