Such are the few passages I deem proper to record
of the life of this useful man — the last " Priest of the
old Scots Episcopal Church,'* whose probity and ho-
nour were unblemished, as his life was blameless. Al-
though his grasp of mind was not powerful, yet he
possessed sufficient ingenuity and industry to excite
admiration, if not respect, among the learned and the
worthy. In his person he was slender, and rather be-
low the middle size. His face, though not expressive
of high intellect, beamed benevolence and much kind-
ness of disposition ; for his heart was in unison with
those warm emotions that form the best portion of hu-
man nature, and give a charm to all our actions, in
whatever station our lot may fall.
