TRENTON, March 19.
New-Erunfwick, March 12, 1783.
On Tuesday the 4th instant departed this life,
James Neilson, Esq. in the 83d year of his age.
He had been an extenlive trader for many years in
this part of the country, and was universally
eßeemed for his candour and intregrity in that pro
feffion—Juft and upright in all his dealings to such
a degree, that envy itfelf never had an opportunity
to detract from his merit—Few men in publick
employment have supported so unblemished a cha
rader for such a length of time as he did.—Though
far advanced in life at the commencement of this
unhappy war, his idea of the injustice aimed at his
country was clear and unveiled—He was exceeded
by no character in patriotism—He was a true friend
to religion, which he always discovered in a liberal
contribution to its fupport—ln private life he lived
like a chriftian, in the daily practice of the duties
of religion—-He bore his last illness with chriftrart
patience and fortitude of mind, without murmur
or complaint, and doled his life with a quiet sub
mission to the divine will, expressing his hope of a
happy immortality, through the alone merits and
mediation of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ—-
By his death the church and Rate have loft a va
luable friend, and the particular community he be
longed to a ufeful member of society.
