[Jan. 1, 



rrilnils of thofe wlio knew her a lively fenfe 

 ot" her intelligence, piety, and benevolence. 

 Both haj the luppinefs of being aided in the 

 a.'.q'jifition of religious and virtuous excel- 

 lence by the nniniftry and fiiendrtiip of a Ben- 

 fon ard a Price. Their moral improvement 

 was (uitable to the advantages whicli they 

 had eijoyed, and worthy the charafters to 

 which they had been allied. Their religion 

 v/as not the eftcfl of education merely; but 

 was the refult of choice, and fixed by reflec- 

 tion. Their minds were candid, and open to 

 the force of arguments. Their laft fenti- 

 ments on a queftion which has much agitated 

 the Chriftian world, were ftriftly unitarian. 

 In the profeflion of religion, by an attend- 

 ance on public worrtiipand at the Lord's Sup- 

 per, (he was conftant and exemplary, as long 

 as health and ftrength would permit. Her 

 private reading was chiefly of the devotio.'ial 

 kind ; in th'S /he w,is regular and alliduous, 

 giving fome portio.': of every day to the pc- 

 ruljl of ftrmons. But her religion was not 

 f>i the gloomy or fovbldHing caft. Her tem- 

 per wai cheerful; her manners were eafy and 

 polite; and as long as fhe thought herfelf ca- 

 pable of company, ilie could and did unbend 

 her mind, without entering into the circles 

 of modern diiTipation, by moderate amufe- 

 ments and focial converfe. A diflinjuifliing 

 trait in her charafter was generofity, improv- 

 ing and expanding itfelf as her fortune im- 

 proved, in conftant adts of kindnefs to the 

 poor, in bencf.iftions to the deferving, in 

 rfeeds if aid to individuals, and in contribu- 

 tions to fchemes of public utility. It w.:s 

 an excellence of her generofity, that it was 

 free and cheerful. Her ears were open to 

 every application ; and the fuitor had not to 

 Complain of a reluftant gift, but went away 

 as much pleafed with the manner as with 

 ♦he donation. Nor to aid the means of bene- 

 ficence, had (he recourfe to the favings of 

 parfiir.ony, or to ftrained deduftions from the 

 profits of the tradefman. It (hould be added, 

 that when inability prevented her perfonal 

 attendance at the colleflions for the poor 

 which accompanied public worfhip, no lofs 

 was fuftained by her abfence She felt the 

 diftrelTcs of the poor and afflifled, and (lie 

 was ready toadminifter to them the relief of 

 beneficence and compa(?ion. Her general de- 

 portment to thole who movec in the lovvett 

 ■tphcres of life was kind and condefcendinj. 

 Though her life had been for many years 

 j)i'vate and redufe, fuch is the power of ge- 

 nuine goodnefs, her worth and excellence 

 were not hidden, hut were generally known 

 at'd higiily ciiimatcd in the town. Tlie in- 

 firmities of age were borne by her with pa- 

 tience; a long life was reviewed by her 

 with devout admiration ; and the end of it 

 was peace.
