Dr. Samuel Blair. •-••• It would be pleasing, especially as custom has rinetioned the practice, to present you with a full and correct detail of his life and character; but. I am sensible, that neither the time remaining, nor the abilities of the preacher, are sufficient to do that justice to his estimable memory which both yet and the world have a right to demand. At some fu ture day, it is presumed, we shall be favoured with an account more circumstantial and adequate than at present can be Afforded ; such, however, as from my own knowledge, and from information au thentic, I have been able to collect, you will be pleased, in the mean time, with candour to accept. The Rev. Dr Jchn Blair Linn was a native of the state of Pennsylvania, and born in Shippens burg, Cumberland county, in the year 1777. He was the elder son of the Rev. Dr. William Lino, WhO was formerly settled, for several years, in this state ; but who afterwards removed to New York, on a call from the Dutch Reformed Church in that city. His mother was a daughter of the Rev. John flair, who was eminent in his day, as a judicious, zealous, and • successful Minister of the Gospel. He received the principal part of his education in New York, and took his first degree in Columbia College, when he was but eighteen years of age ; after he had graduated, he engaged in the study of the law, under the direhiion of the late deservedly celebrated General Hamilton. The study of the law, however, was never agreeable to him ; ant? his religious impressions, which, at a 113UCt ^ariier period, commenced, at this time returning in force, he became, at length, determinately hc:it on ptepar ing for the service of the c'inrch. And to this ser- ' vice he was, not only by inclination, impelled, but. from his knowledge of himself, he was persuaded that his talents were more peculiarly adapted.— Under this view, having obtained the consent of his father, and of General Hamilton, be retired into the country, and prosecuted his studies under the Rev. Dr. itornaytie, one of the Professors of The. ology, in the Reformed Ditch Chureh.
