When lip to lipis pressed.

When friends forever part,
When gloomy cares disturb the breast,
No charm can sooth like this;

also thought il no slight honor TO be there the
representative of a country which was bound
with them by the mutual wish to extend the in

esteem of the Society, not merely because her
institutions, language, laws, and customs were
those Of England, but more especially because
they were the children of England who had
turned savage and desolate wilderness into

to be ranked among those benefactors 10 the
human race, of which England held the highest
place. The objects Of that Society were 10 pro-
