stances of Mr . Beynon ' s early history and I solicit your permission to mention a few additional facts , which I am able to supply from authentic sources . Mr . Beynou received the principal part of his introductory classical education under
the able instruction of the Rev . Solomon Harris , of Swansea , a man no less
distinguished by his sound classical attainments , and his exteusive and varied erudition , as a scholar and a divine , than by the high and amiable excellences of his private life . During a part of the time he was at this school my late venerated father was his associate . In 1766 , Mr . Beynou quitted the Grammar School , and was admitted a student at the
Presbyterian Academy , Carmarthen , of which the Rev . Samuel Thomas , and the Rev . Dr . Jenkius , both eminent for their learning and abilities , were at that time the tutors . Here he became again the fellow-student of my father , who , being two years his senior iu years , had preceded him to college . In this institution Mr . Beyuon passed through the regular
course of four years , at the termination Of which , | u 1769 , being desirous of reaping the further advautages promised by an English Academy , he was admitted a student at Warriugton . Here he remained three years , studying with exemplary diligence the higher branches of the course under Dr . Aikin and Dr . Euficld .
Of Mr . Beyuon ' s contemporaries at the Carmarthen Academy few have been spared to reach so advanced an age . JMy honoured father preceded him to the grave six-and-twenty years . Those who now remain are , I believe , the Rev . Benjamin Evans , of Stockton-upon-Tees , the Rev . Theophilus Edwards , of Taunton , aud the Rev . John Davies , of London ,
men venerable alike for their years and their characters . To this brief list I am not certain whether I may not add the Rev . Rowlaud Smith , of Clare , in Suffolk .

At the time Mr . Beynon was a student at the Carmarthen Academy it was customary to educate at that institution , upon a separate foundation , a certain number of young men for the ministry in the Church of England . Two of his contemporaries of this class are now living , sustaining a high rank in their profession—the Rev . Mr . Archdeacon Beynon , of Carmarthen , and the Rev . Mr . Jones , Vicar of Lewisham , Kent .
The biographer has mentioned oue of Mr . Beynon * s contemporaries at Warriugton , the Rev . Philip Taylor , of Dublin . CjClarum et venerabile nomen . J In looking over the list of the Warrington students at that period , I do not find myself able to add more than one name , and that is Mr . Robert Alderson , whose father was for many years the respected minister of the Presbyterian congregation at Lowestoff . Mr . Robert Alderson
was educated at Warriugton on the foundation of the London Presbyterian Fund . After quitting the Academy he officiated at Filby , where , if I remember correctly , Mrs . Alderson , who was the daughter of Mr . Samuel Hurry , of Yarmouth , was many years ago buried . He was also for several years the colleague of my much - esteemed and greatly - lamented friend , Mr . George Cadogan Morgan , as joint miuister of the Octagon Unitarian
Chapel , Norwich . Mr . Alderson afterwards quitted the ministry , the Unitarians , and the Dissenters , embraced the profession of a barrister , became a leading counsel on the Norwich circuit , and obtained the honourable appointments of Recorder of Ipswich , and Steward of Norwich . His son has also distinguished himself in the same profession , aud has recently been elevated to the Bench as oue of the new Judges . THOMAS RKES . Lark-hall Laney Clapham , December 13 , 1830 .
