20. At liis house in Chelten- 

 ham, in the 84rth year of his age, 

 Alexander Gqffray, Esq. formerly 

 an eminent merchant in the city 

 of Dublin, and the first elected 

 Governor of the Bank of Ireland. 

 He was descended from an 

 ancient and respectable family in 

 the CO. of Aberdeen, and: was 

 one of the surviving great grand- 

 sons of Robert Barclay, of Urie, 



in Scotland, author of the learned 

 Apology for the people called 

 Quakers, in the principles of 

 which sect he was educated. 

 When he arrived at an age to 

 form his own decisions, he re- 

 nounced their peculiarities, and 

 became a member of the Esta- 

 blished Church ; but through life 

 he retained that simplicity and 

 integrity of mind and conduct, 

 for which they have been justly 

 celebrated. To these were added 

 a cultivated understanding, a 

 generous and affectionate heart. 

 Perhaps there never existed a 

 more truly benevolent man. Of 

 him it might with propriety be 

 observed that " his riglit hand 

 knew not the actions of his left." 

 He despised ostentation, and con- 

 scienciously avoided selfish in- 

 dulgence ; but he largely contri- 

 buted to the wants of all those 

 who had any claims upon his 

 bounty, and was a liberal patron 

 to the poor and friendless. He 

 was a just and faithful steward of 

 his possessions, seeking to do 

 that which was right, in every 

 action of his long and eminently 

 useful hfe. He cherished no 

 private resentments, but freely 

 forgiving all those who injured 

 him, exemplified those feelings 

 which actuate the conduct, and 

 adorn the character of a genuine 

 Christian. He courted not the 

 world's applause, but, in his own 

 breast, he found " that peace 

 which passeth all understanding," 

 and which, through infinite 

 mercy, enabled him, in the awfui 

 moment of dissolution, to resign 

 his soul to Him who gave it, 

 without a struggle or a sigh<
