Ile was aged 25 years, and although so young, had evinced from the mo- mient his f6ot pressed our country the most noble and philanthropic Eentiments, with an ardour to fulfil thetm as tar as lay in his power. rllr. Georgio Sessini, in whose house he was lodred, paid him everv attention and assistance, ftr wlhich the nation owved hiii ber thanks.

Ofa truth he certainly wvas the most voracious believer we ever Inct with. He believed in Bmanuel Swedenborg, he believed in Richard Brothers, he believed in Johanna Southeote. Neither type, nor figtre, nor allegory, nor parable, ever presented a sturnbling-block in his way; nothing moved, nothing disconcerted him. His was, indeed, the faith -to remove mountains.
