LAST Saturday night quitted this painful feene, Andrew
Henshaw, Efyttatis 33, * and lafttvening bis remains
were most rcfpt&uily committed to the Tilent tomb. We
shall be free from rhe imputation of adulation, if we fay he
Was a man of benevolence and charity, of feasibility and
companion—he was a Stranger to deration and calumny,
'his generous foul disclaim'd Co low a thought; his tongue
forbad to hurt the bumbl< ft chara&.r; he participated with
those who rafted the pleafurcs, and fympamixed with such as
felt the pains of lift; the poor never knock'd at his door
and had occasion to regret the intrusion, but blefs'd the
friendly hand and prefum'd to call again; bappinefs and
peace dwelt under his roof, and his defi e was to communi
cate to others ; those who knew him, knew his worth;---he
has left a widow who fincercly mourns.
Methinks I fee her look, and mourn and gaze
With mclancholly fondnefs, and with tears
Bedew that form, so late belov'd, so much
Defil'd, but now alas defin'd no more!
Altho' he's left her in this gloomy feene,
E'er long he'll meet her with expanded arms.
And hail her welcome to the realms of bliss.

* He was the youngest son of the late Hon. Joshua Hen
shaw, Esq; formerly one of the council of Massachusetts, but
for his unshaken attachment to the liberties of his country,
was twice afterwards rejected by the late infamous Govern
or Hutchinson, although cleded by the unanimous vote of
the honorable house of representatives, consequently could
not be drawn in to sign any adulatory address to Mr. Hutch
inson, no more than his elder brother Daniel Henshaw, Esq;
a justice of the general 1< flions of the peace for, the county of
Worcester, one of the four who nobly difdain'd to, figure,
though Brigadier Ruggles, and the others who fign'd, used
all their art to induce them to it. He was grand-Son of
Joshua Henshaw, Esq; Col. of governor Belcher's troop of
guards, &c. and grcac-grand-fon of Joshua Henshaw, Esq;
who was eldest ion and heir at law of Sir John Henshaw,
knight, &c. who was slain in battle in Oliver Cromwell's
wars, gloriously contending, for the liberties of his country,
against usurpation and tyranny, who left but two children,
viz. Joshua and Daniel, the eldcft but 8 the other § years of
Ige; both of which by the vile arts of their fathers Steward,
were kidnap'd and brought to America, and then by adduce
in Sir John's will; that if his children should die in their mi
nority,the Steward should be sole heir, seized on their inhe
ritance. The cldeft son, after he arrived at proper age,
went back to England, and was thirteen years in the by
with the Steward, and was by his means poifon'd while a fi
nal trial was pending before a court of chancery, and ’cis
supposed he was the principal of the history of the unfortu
nate young Nobleman, fold for a Arve in America, as the
molt material ft^s related in that history, cxa&ly corref
pand with his.—These generations were all remarkable for
their liberality and hospitality, and more so for their g r tat
tenderncfs towards the character ofanother, esteeming dan
der and detraction fins of the blackest die; they meddlednot
in other men's matters, but found fullemploy for their time
in their own calling, whether of a public or private nature,
and we hope the generations to follow will imitate the vir
tues of their progenitors.,

VOLUME IT.
This Book is wrote to evince the great hardships and a
mazing success of a yaffil people who extricated themselves
from the tyranny of the most exorbitant power in Europe,
and in the end ruined that power while the ocean was co-,
vered with its navy, and the earth with its armies, both tin- °
der the direction of commanders as famous as any recorded
in history ; who had the advantage cf marching those ar
mies by land into the very heart of those revolted Rates/
This overgrown monarchy had a view to oppress an in
nocent and complying people, who had neither troops net
ships to defend themfclves.
Afmall spot of ground, fcarccly equal to the teaft of ouy
United States, with only a moderate share of public virtue
proved fufficient to bring ruin on the then moll formidable
kingdon on our globe !
The writer is vrin enough to believe, thatthe small as
semblage of politics contained in this book, will afford
entertainment to our Ibtefmcn.
The soldier will find amusement in the relation of mili
tary events.
The merchant will be reminded, that our commercial
difficulties are to be overcome by patience.
The clergy may ponder on the consequences of polemi
cal disputes. And,
The Farmer will fee, that the present time is not the fi,ft
when it was difficult to introduce foreign ueceffarics.
