The end of the good man is peace. His amiable and excel- 

 lent qualities could not avert the sliaft of the destroyer; he is 

 removed from this stage of his usefulness and enjoyments. — 

 We shall no more here bo cheered by his presence, animated by 

 his eloquence, or counselled by his wisdom ; we shall no more 

 meet him in this world, but if faithful to onr trusts and duties, 

 we shall meet him in happier regions, where are no agonies of 

 severed friendship, and where all sorrow will forever cease. 



Mr. King then proposed the following resolutions : 



Resolved. That we are deeply sensible of the loss which our 

 Society has sustained in the lamented death of our late worthy 

 President, the Hon. Leverett Saltonstall. 



Resolved^ That we entertain a high sense of respect for his 

 character and talents, and of gratitude for his services. 



Resolved^ That we tender to his bereaved family, the expres- 

 sion of our sincere condolence. 



The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and with the re- 

 marks of Mr. King, were ordered to be placed on the records of 

 the Society, and to be published.
