P. 59. Nov. 19 1836. Mr. Simeon. " During the past term Simeon's death 

 and funeral have been by far the most exciting events that have passed amongst us. 

 The greatest part of the University — graduates and undergraduates — assembled to 

 do his memory honour; and while the procession moved down the magnificent 

 chapel to the grave, and while its vaulted roof was reverberating the almost super- 

 natural notes of Handel's Dead March, I do not think there was one person 

 (including many hundred spectators), who was not for a while almost carried away 

 by a powerful emotion" (Adam Sedgwick to W. D. Conybeare, 6 Dec. 1836 in Life 

 I 469). See also A. R. Pennington, Recollections of persons and events, Lond. 1895,
