brightness Of the sun, in the highest spheres
Of genius, yet from modesty he walked in
the quiet and more peaceful paths of life
We but utter the truth when we say that
he had mind of vast scope and research.
and that, had ambition so directed or for
tune favored, the world might to-day be
filled with his name. But with all his
| learning and genius he was a pious Chris
tian, devoted to his church, and the noble
charities of religion. A man of inhexible
principles, OF stern convictions Of duty, vet
no fanatic, he commanded the respect Of all.
In his death the world OF science has lost
one of its ablest and most devoted scholars.
and this city a distinguished and useful eiti-
