sisted between the Dean and Mrs STocreosee
[Jenny gave the latter an opportunity of studying
his real cheuracteri and unable, from want of ma-
terials, to furnish the world with a Memoir of the
lamented deceased, Mr. FIaRDY hits contented him-
self with an Analysis of his conduct upon three
pesticidal ly impertent Questions, Viz'. the French
Revolution, the Sl,tve Tiede, and the :Roman Ce-
tholie QUeS6OII. 'doing this, our Author has
shewn r complete knoWledge of his subjects, ;turd
has compressed into a small compass a thOst ad-
mirable summary of the leading arguments upon
them.—The following remarks upon the French
Revolution are so forCible, and so applicable to
the present period, that we are coefident our
Readers will deern no apology requisite for ex-
tracting them :
" When that enemy of society and mankind,
the French Revolution,
,began to disperse its spe-
cious but baneful principlei, the Dean was among
the foremost of those truly patriotic citizens who
raised their seeming
.voices its exposing its dans
gerous tendency, and ultimate object ; like The-
mistoclet, he preferred "nipping the bud to Stem-
ming the torrent," and, in the prosecution of his
object, he enlisted all his physical and intellectirel
powers. In this Revolution, he read not only a
barefaced afiempr upon social order and decorum,
but a direct attack upon Christianity itself. As a
citizen, be repelled the first ; and, as a presbyter,
he defended the Church against the second. The,
press teemed with the labours of his pen, while
the pulpit echoed _with the sound of his voice;
and when the monster dared to erect his crest
with additional boldness, like a faithful sentinel,
be grappled with it in its very ;den, refuted the
assertions of its friends on their own data, and
endeavoured to bring into public odium those prin-
elide's, 'which, while 'they spoke smooth things'
to the lace, were secretly aiming a fat 4 stab at
the clearest. privileges of his country, ,and the
'sacred institutions of his ancestors. Unlike the
general ride; the'nearer the object approached,
the greater' were his apprehensions -t ' he feared
more Who feared more nearly ;' his exertions re-
doubled as tae crisis drew on; his acts' tint his
tears'•spoke for' hiM, and bursting like a lion
.froris fetters which naturally bound hint, his load
*exertion because light, -he cheerfully bore it,
and trierephantlY,wayed the standard of loyalty
'lnd order over the region of disaffection and con-
fusion.' Couvinced that Civil Society was of Di-
vine Appointment, and
.that its various ramifica-
does were necessary to its due preservation, the
Dean maSanfly 'immeshed those 11,ittering, decep-
tive insinuations which were thrown out.by de-
signing men, acrd the object of which was, to ren-
der the lower classes 'ot his countrymen discon-
tented with that station in life which an all-svise
Providence bad assitsned them :
" ' There must be wisdom and virtue in the
higher orders of the community,' said the Dean
at this eventful period, to connect and preserve,
to defend and direct, the several parte of the ma-
chine of Civil-Society; while the patient labours
and endeavours of the meanest are equally requi-
site, though subservient, to the prosperity of ea-
tions ; the faundation of the noblest
though laid deep and low, and composed of the
coarsest materials, has yet the merit of sustaining
the whole work, and is do less essential to it than
the stateliest and most beautiful

men Poet ; he knew the texture of the curtain
which. hid these pseudo-patriots and their acts
Isom the light of day—he suffered it to be used
for a certain period, and contented himself with
'delineating the effect of the measures adopted,
leaving their projectors under its protection ; but
When he had traced these measures to their pro-
per solace, he suddenly rent asunder the flimsy
blind, and obliged those with whom they origi•
nets(' to stand torwat Alio all their native defor-
mity as the enemies of mankind, and the abettors
of murder and sedition;—he strewed those to be
iyrants, whose pretended attribute was mercy;
and that to be a space filled with noxious weeds,
which it had been pretended was a garden
en-
riched with fragrant flowers,—was a second Ely;
shim, where man might rest free hoer care—
stretch his weary limbs on beds of roses--amid for-
get in the enjoyment of present felicity, past suf-
fering and monarchical tyranny."
We heye not space to extract the admirable anti
affecting comments upon the activity of the Dean
on the great question of the Slave Trade. The
following reference to the West India Mutters,

" The endeavours of the Dean to bring the
West India Planters to a sense of their true in-
terests, were tantamount to those which he used
to impede the progress of infidelity and diaffec-
(ion; remindibg them of Nature's. Laws---of their
illegal use of power--and -of their degradation in
the sealt of civil society ; he exhorted them to
forsake the blandislomenta asituation acquired
by unnatural custom he exhorted them to bend
before reproof, to reflect,
.to lay their hands on
their breasts, and to fan the embers of linntanit'y
into the flame of AfriCan EnCancipationtolatt

great object which Mr. Wilheiforce and his Par-
liamentary associates had in view The
publi-
cations on this subject, which owed their appear-
ance to his prolific pen, were numerous ; and it is
greatly to be regretted that our lamented friend
never kept an accurate account oldie pamphlets and
incidental tracts, which on this, as on other great
questions, he gave to the world. Happily he
lived to see the fruits of his labours in the aboli;•
tion of this detested traffic—art abolition, pro-
duced not by the blaze of eloquence, or the trick
of declamation, but by solid, well-founded coo-
victim), wrought on the minds of our legislatots
by a slow yet sure progress, and which terminat-

as the approach of a season of happiness which
'be had-long contemplated—he hugged the pros-
'petitY of his Country to his breast, and was not

A spirit of moderation and candour invatiably
breathes 'through any arguments which fall from
the pelt of this able Writer ; and we only wish,
that in all cases of controversy this was more ge-
neral. We think the Protestant cause greatly in,
