Mr . John Dove , the author of the little book , the title of which is given below , was engaged in an undertaking , now abandoned , for publishing a series of memoirs of * The Worthies of Yorkshire and Lancashire . The Life of Andrew Marvell , which had been
prepared for that series , is now published in a separate form , and , it well received , will , we are told , be succeeded by other lives ' of some of the most eminent Yorkshiremen . ' As it seems to be fairly arid carefully compiled ., we hojpe the requisite encouragement will be afforded , and that Mr . Dove may become the Plutarch of Yorkshire ^ and find for its worthies many a good parallel in Lancashire . His present work is ,, at any rate , well
timed . Andrew Marvell is a good name to be in men ' s mouths Hvhen candidates are before them for a reformed parliament . There is much matter in his history which is very pertinent and profitable . Recommending our readers to search for it themselves , we propose to devote a page or two to the account of the death of the patriot ' s father ^ a divine of considerable eminence , which happened in the year 1640 , under the following circumstances ;—

Marvell , as his piety and understanding caused her to take particular Vioiice of him .

Thrs lady had an only daughter ; whose duty , devotion , and exemplary behaviour , had endeared her to all who knew her , and' rendered her the darling of her mother , whose fondness for her arose to such a
height that she could scarcely bear her temporary absence . Mr . Marvejl , desiring to perpetuate the friendship between the families , requested \ he lady to allow her daughter to come over to * Kingston , to stand godmother to a child of his ; to which , out of her great regard to J ^ im , she consented , though depriving herself of her daughter ' s company for a longer space of time than she would have agreed to on any
other consideration . The young lady went over to Kingston accordingly , and the Ceremony was performed . The next day , when she came down to the river side , in order to return home , it being extremely rough , so ias to reader the passage dangerous , the watermen earnestly dtastiaded her from any attempt to cross the river that day . But she , who had never wilfully given h # r . mother a moment ' s uneasiness , awl * T ? he J-ife 6 t Andrew MftWefl , the celebrated Patriot . £ y John Dove . BimxOtip und MittahaU t 1832 .
