and happiness not only of those con- , nected with him by the ties of blood or affinity , but he rejoiced unfeignedly in the well-being and success of society at large . He was a most decided friend and advocate of peace * delighted to hear of its return when
- the appalling horrors of war were ^ hushed ^ and—highly—gratified—wheninformed of the number and progress of those associations on both sides of the Atlantic , which were instituted to promote and encourage , what he deemed one of the best causes—'
permanent and universal peace . ' Against arbitrary power and oppression he set his face as a flint ; and both breathed many a hearty and earnest wish ^ jind uttered many a fervent prayer , for the speedy and absolute extinction of slavery in every quarter of the globe . With the low and depressed condition of the numerous body of the poor and indigent in this and in other countries , those especially whose sobriety , honesty , and
industry sufficed " not "to " procure a comfortable subsistence for themselves and their families , he most compassionately sympathized , and piously interceded with heaven for their relief and benefit .

He was modest , unassuming , meek , and humble ; ever ready to collect from books and con > - versation what would enlighten his
understanding and improve his heart . He was remarkably steady , aiid disposed to maintain and preserve inviolate the bands of friendship with those to whom he was attached in that amiable relation ; and whenever , unhappily , an interruption of its tender offices in any instance
occu rr ed , the fault was in no m easure chargeable upon him . Caprice and fickleness were alien to his spirit , and the imputation of them , if they had been imputed , which the writer believes never was the case , would have been a source of severe uneasiness to him . He cherished a lively concern for the prosperity
