justly venerated names which adorn this catalogue . With the characters of Charnock , Williams , Boyse , Emlyn , Abernethy , Duchal , Maclaine , and Leland , every Dissenter who knows any thing of the history of his fathers must be familiar . They will stand a comparison with the worthies of any church in Christendom for learning , piety , zeal , conscientious integrity , and , in more instances than one , for the constancy with which they witnessed a
good confession in dfys of persecution . Those days , we rejoice to believe , are long gone by ; hut their successors may derive benefit from contemplating their example in the discharge of more pleasing and probably less arduous and difficult duties . There are other names less known to fame , but which , for ministerial usefulness and private worth , are , we doubt not , with good reason chronicled as deserving to be held in grateful remembrance by the descendants of those among whom they long and honourably laboured .
When to these we add the eminent persons who are now occupying their stations in these churches , and who , we trust , are yet destined by many important services to increase their claims on our regard , we see enough to excite the emulation of a younj * aspirant after similar excellence . May his name , already associated with the religious history of former times , reminding us of a " sad and sanguine ' period when many eminent confessors endured the utmost extremities of persecution , and since deservedly respected in our congregations , be henceforth held in additional honour as borne by a pious , active , and successful minister of Christ !

ON TH ^ DEATH OF MB . DANIEL HUTTON , WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE , APRIL 2 , 1829 , IN THE 71 ST YEAR OF HIS AGE , AT TALLYMOUtfT , NEAR RANELAGH , DUBLIN ? [ The gentleman whom the following lines commemorate , was a warm and sincere friend to civil and religious liberty from , his earliest days ; and his
latter end was cheered by the bri g ht prospects opening on this country by the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill * He was also a steady Unitarian from the firmest conviction , and by bis extraordinary patience under a long and gradual decline , and his most peaceful death , he shewed the natural fruits of such a faith upon the human mind . ]
And this was Death ! He closed his eyes , And gentl y fell asleep ; As a cloud , that has travelled through summer skies , Sinks in the twilight deep , When its waves have given up the last warm streak , Where Evening pillowed her fading cheek , And th ^ myriad stars are assembling all , In the Firmament ' s solemn , breathless hall .
Blameleai arid bland , as that cloud ' s , had been His ^ ath through the day of life ; And on it * horiloh his h ^ a rt could lean WitWut any gloom orstrife .
