self.command. He had early sought out for himself, and firmly established in his mind, the grand truths, religious, moral, or political, which were to regulate his conduct; and they were all embodied in his daily life. Hence the admirable consistency of his character, which was the more striking, as it seemed to reconcile and unite apparently opposite qualities. That grave prudence, which, in common men, would have swayed every action to the side of timid caution, was in him combined with invincible energy. So too in his opinions. No man was more deeply pene. trated with the doctrines, or the sentiment of religion; no man more conscientiously exact in its obser. vances; whilst 10 man could look with more jealousy on any intermixture of the religious with the temporal authority; no man more dreaded, or watched with more vigilant caution, every invasion, however slight, upon the rights of private conscience.

After a long and uninterrupted series of the highest civil employ. ments, in the most difficult times, he suddenly retired from their toils

and dignities, in the full vigour of mind and body, and at an age when, in most statesmen, the objects of ambition show as gor. geously, and its aspirations are as stirring as ever. He looked upon himself, as having fully discharged his debt of service to his country; and, satisfied with the ample share of gratitude which he had received, he retired with cheerful content, without ever once casting a reluc tant eye towards the power or dig. nities he had left. For the last thirty years of his remaining life, he was known to us only by the occasional appearance of his name, or the employment of his pen, in the service of piety or philanthropy. A halo of veneration seemed to encircle him, as one belonging to another world, though yet lingering amongst us. When, during the last year, the tidings of his death came to us, they were received through the nation, not with sorrow or mourning, but with solemn awe; like that with which we read the mysterious passage of ancient scripture-"And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.”
