JuDGE EDpY.-Few men have filled a
larger or a more distinguished circle in life,
than the late Judge EDDY. He Was Secre-
tary of the State twenty two years-six
years r Representative in Congress-eigh'
years Chief Justice--,hirty four years one
Of the Fellsws, aud twenty three years
Secretary Of the Corporation Of Brown u
University. His repeated election to these
important offices, evinces With what ability
aud fai,hfulness he discharged their various
duties.
The promnen, feature Of his character,
was an ardent love of Truth ;--this was tn,
in Religion, in Polhics-on the Bench
and ia all his transactions with his fellow
men.
He formerly contemplated wiring the
History of his native State; and with that
view had collected many valuable docu-
ments; and it is to be regretted that he did
not pursue this object, as his discriminating
naInd woud have selected the most interest
ing and important facts, and his singular
purity and correctness of style, would have
portrayed them in their truest collars. He
had devoted much time to the study Of the
scripture, and was for many years n firm
believer in the simple and ineligible doc
trines Of the Unitarian Faith.
With an apparent snsteri,y of manner,
he possessed the gentlest hearl-a heart ev-
er warmly responsive to tho influences Of
friendship, aud all the kindlier charities OF
life.
Several years since he was attacked with
Paralysis, from the effects Of which he nev-
er recovered: aud thus that mind once 50
vigorous and bright, finally set in clouds.
