other that not the least deviation from urbanity or friendship had taken place in the conversation in which Dr . Lindsay had shared , and , in fact , that no single expression had beeu uttered which even now any one of the speakers would have wished to retract or alter .
In this public snanuer did tins publicspirited man breathe his last . Such of his brethren of Dr . Wiliiams ' a Trust as were present , authorized the family of the deceased to make use of the library-house for the funeral tibsequies , and individual ministers af the Three Denominations
expressed their wish to follow the renaaius of their departed brother to the grave . The body lay at Red-Cross Street uutU Friday , the 23 rd instant , when it was removed for interment to Bunhill Fields .
The procession consisted of nearly fifty coaches , of which several were the private carnages of his friends ' , and six were filled by former pupils o £ the excellent man now carried to his loner home . The
concourse of people wa £ very great , both around the library and in theburial-grouBd . The corpse w ^ s preceded by Dn Rees and Mr . Barrett : tj * e latter delivered an ap ^ propriate address , and prayer at the grave . The pall was tyorne by the fallowing ministers of the Presbyterian body , accQroV
mg to seniority : Mr . Relsham , Mr . Coates , Dr . T . Rsea , Mr . AspUnd , M * - Fox , and Mr , MaUison . Then followed the family : after whom came the personal friends of the deceased , the members of his congregation , ( about 80 in number , ) and ministers ox the Three Denominations , More
genuine , honour wa » never paid to any man ' s memory ; aud in this rarely-witnessed deep and general expression of respect was remarkably exemplified Dr . Lindsay ' s own favourite principle , law ! down in the preface to his sermons , ( see
Mon . Repos . XV . 37 , ) " that in the end m-mnesa atid consistency will secure mare esteem even from those to whom we refuse to yield * than the sycophancy of those despicable characters , who become all things to all men for the sake of popularity or filthy lucre . ' *
Dr . Liadsay was in his 67 * th year , and had been upwards of thirty-five years minister of the Presbyterian congregation in MonkweM-Street . Four daughters survive him .
