to those who, like Caleb, "wholly follow the Lord."

The last few days of her life were passed in much weakness and almost unconsciousness, in consequence of an accident while travelling; but the day preceding her death she responded to a friend who asked her how she did, "Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."

She died at Mousehole, the 10th of First month, 1882, and was buried at Friends' burialground, Marazion, on the 14th.

APPENDIX.

WILLIAM BREWIN,

OF CIRENCESTER.

WILLIAM BREWIN was born at Cirencester, on the 11th of Fifth month, 1813. His parents, John and Hester Brewin, were valuable members of the Society of Friends, and carefully trained their children in its religious principles. His school days were spent at Sidcot, and with Benjamin Gilkes at Nailsworth, and he was afterwards apprenticed to the late William Evans, of Birmingham, but ultimately returned to Cirencester, and was engaged in his father's business. When quite young he began to travel as the representative of the firm. This was a very trying and exposed situation, especially for one who desired to maintain the life of a consistent Friend. He had early adopted the principles of total abstinence, which proved a great safeguard to himself, as well as a useful example in the Commercial Room. His own personal experience induced

him to become an ardent supporter of the Temperance movement. But whilst valuing this moral safeguard, he did not forget the obligations and needs of the inner life, and when on his journeys he made it a point, whenever practicable, and often at great inconvenience, to attend Friends' meetings. Nor was this effort without its attendant blessing; for, whilst it refreshed his own soul, it brought him into much sympathy with the attenders of small and isolated meetings, to whom his periodical visits were seasons of much profit and pleasure. In this way also he was first awakened to that earnest interest in the welfare of the Society of Friends which became so conspicuous in his after life.

From early life he took a special interest in the distribution of tracts, of which, during his business journeys and at other times, he circulated large numbers.

In the Midsummer of 1862 he retired from business on a moderate competency. It was in the same year that Russell Jeffrey and Henry Hipsley went out to India in the service of the Gospel. William Brewin felt it right to offer himself as their companion. Leaving his beloved mother, then in her 91st year, he set out in the Eleventh month, 1862, and did not return until
