 131 i." 



At Tottenham, 68, John Smderson ; a 

 member of the Socit'ty of Friends, and 

 many years an eminent merchant, of the 

 Old Jewry, London. 



At Uxhridge, 63, John Hull, a native of 

 that place, and one of the Society of 

 Friends. He was truly a friend to the 

 whole of his species. Having many years 

 since retired from his trade of a mealman, 

 he devoted himself to works of charity 

 and benevolence. Witnessing the frequent 

 abuse of public charities, he continually 

 intreated his acquaintances to do all the 

 good in their power while living, and not 

 to trust to posterity. Besides contributing 

 largely to the wants of the poor that came 

 to his immediate knowledge, he subscribed 

 libeially to most of the institutions whose 

 objects are to administer to the temporal 

 wants or the eternal interests of our fellow 

 creatures, appropriating a large portion of 

 fits income (which was considerable) to 

 these purposes. He felt indignant when 

 told of any of his friends dying wealthy, 

 saying, a Christian had no business to die 

 rich. He was particularly active in pro- 

 curing petitions from the town and its 

 vicinity, for the abolition of the slave- 

 trade ; and again, lately, to prevent its 

 renewal by the present government of 

 France. It was principally to his exer- 

 tions that this town is indebted for a free- 

 school for boys, on the Laneasterian plan, 

 which was established in 1809, and an 

 Auxiliary Bible Society in 1810. His 

 known integrity, and the simplicity of his 

 manners, fitted him for a peace-maker, — a 

 character to which his uniform conduct 

 CDiineutly entitled him. All who were 

 acquainted with him agree he possessed 

 the rare talent of giving advice on the 

 most delicate points, and to the most 

 opposite characters, without otfending. 

 j^any have tasted of his bounty in various 



and Dm-Jiam. 181 



ways, though his constant efforts to con- 

 ceal his benevolent arts have, in numerous 

 instances, prevented t'leir coming to the 

 knowledge even of his most intimate 

 friends. The writer of this was privy to 

 many of his anonymous gifts. In a word, 

 treading in the footsteps of his divine 

 Master, he " went about doing good :" all 

 are persuaded his loss is irreparable, and 

 that they shall never see " his like again." 

 The interment of his remains took place 

 on Friday the silst June, at the Friends' 

 burial ground, in the presence of a more 

 numerous assembly than was ever known 

 there on a similar occasion, amounting to 

 several hundred persons, amongst whom 

 were some of the gentry and neighbour- 

 ing clergy, besides several dissenting mi. 

 uisters.
