principles , political as well as moral ; and it would be impossible for any one to point out an action of bis life , in which interest or any other unworthy cause swayed him from what he deemed the good , the generous and the just . Benevolent to the helpless and to the ppor , placid and
courteous to strangers , invariably kind to his friends , and most mild and affectionate to his family , !—he went to his grave universally beloved and mourned .

The object of the sermons delivered on this occasion was to shew that Unitarianism is pre-eminently a scriptural system , founded on the plain declarations of Christ and his apostles , and most congenial with those holy affections and dispositions , which
it is the allowed design of Christianity to produce and cherish . The hearers were remarkably decorous and attentive , and a considerable impression was apparently produced . Tracts were afterwards distributed , which were received with great avidity , and promises of serious perusal and consideration . Application was made
