OBITUARY OF THE MONTH. 
<r 
REV. DR. PARR. 
‘IED, at Hatton Parsonage, near 
Warwick, on the evening of Sunday 
the 6th inst., in his 79th year, the Rey. 
Dr. Samue! Parr, Prebendary of St. Paul’s, 
Reetor of. Graffam, in Huntingdonshire, 
&c., after an illness of about two months’ 
continuance ; during which the affectionate 
sympathy. of his friends was not less assidu- 
ous than the prayers and supplications of 
his parishioners, for the prolongation of the 
life of their most valuable friend and pastor. 
Rarely does it fall to the lot of men in 
general to .witness such a splendid combi- 
nation of talent, learning, and moral worth 
as the character of Dr. Parr presented. 
In intellect, he was a giant, revelling and 
glorying in that strength by means of which 
he was enabled to defy opposition, to over- 
throw all competitors, to break them-to 
pieces, and to trample them to dust, if 
they besought not that forbearance which 
he refused to no man. Occasionally, he 
might be thougit, by .some persons, to 
wanton in power—to assume the sceptre, 
and put on the purple; for, enthroned in 
intellectual might, he dreaded no rivalry : 
—but let all remember, that he was inea- 
pable of the slightest feeling of jealousy at 
other men’s claims, or. victories; he re- 
jeiced in their powers, and aided their 
triumphs ;. and seldom, indeed, has the 
world possessed a nian. who has. contri- 
buted so frequently, so essentially, and 
with so much delight, tothe success of all 
who sought his aid. He was not to be 
vexed by ignorance, itritated by dulness, 
or proyoked by folly : for. he alw ays made 
unasked allowances for every man’s situa- 
tion, circumstances, capacity, or want of 
capacity; and it was only when ignorance 
presamed to teach—when dulness _pre- 
tended to be wit, or folly domineered, that 
his ire was kindJed ; and he inflicted un- 
forgotten, unfergiven wounds upon the 
self-love of persons, who neither knew 
him nor themselves. 
The majesty of mind beamed in his eye, 
and was stamped upon his. forehead, and 
required none of those, external indications 
of coronets and mitres, which supply the 
absence of realities in the “ little great ;’’-— 
exhibiting the shadow without the sub- 
stance—the attestation without the signa- 
ture. 
His knowledge of the human character, 
in all its varieties, appeared to have been 
intuitive.. He marked the eye; he read 
the countenance; and the prophet of old 
did not- more fully comprehend the hand- 
writing upon the wall, than he all the latent, 
as well-as all the obvious, features of the 
mind. 
Endowed with that indispensable requi- 
site to literary eminence which is found in 
a memory at once retentive and exact, he 
attracted the pure ore from all that he read, 
and all that he heard. If any mind might 
be pronounced magnetic, it was his. 
.. Possessing,, in the stores of his capacious 
mind, the essence of all that the fathers 
wrote ; profoundly skilled in all the best 
comments upon Jewish history and Chris- 
tian doctrine; master of all systems of 
divinity; versed.in all creeds, as well as 
in the decisions of councils and synods ; 
and equally well acquainted with the great 
controversies which have agitated the 
Greek,
