Of duty which was observable in him here
pervaded his whole life Though an un.
pretending man, his character was not
one of passive or negative traits. He had
strong convictions and was firm in main
tanning them without being contentious.
His virtues were practical as well as ex-
cellent. He was good and useful citi
zen, skillful, kind and devoted physi-
clan, constant in his attachments
and exemplary in his conduct. His
surviving associates, impressed with 9
sense of the great loss they have sus-
tanned by his death, unite in offering thl.
imperfect tribute Of affection and respect
to the memory of their late companion
and friend, and in the expression of Their
sorrow that his earthly career has forever
closed"
The minute was unanimously adopted
and the society adjourned out Of respec
to the memory Of DR.. johnson.
