370 MEMOIR OF DR. HARVEY. 



Written by his wife to Dr. Fisher, enclosing above : — 

 ....'• Many times before, and this morning, he spoke such 

 beautiful words of resignation, and words of comfort to me. He 

 prayed that he might await the Lord's time with patience. He 

 thanked God for his many mercies to him, and said His love and 

 goodness had followed him all the days of his life in this pleasant 

 world. Yes, he said, it had been a pleasant world to him. 

 The Lord has been very gracious to him and us. His mind so 

 calm and clear, and such lively faith and hope in the merits of 

 his precious Saviour. Even to the last he is thinking of others. 

 You will see, though very faint, his dear signature at the end 

 of your letter." 



It was thus the pure spirit cast off its shroud of mortality, 

 and peacefully passed away. Fondly watched over by his 

 wife and nephew, he closed his gentle eyes and fell asleep, 

 on the loth May, 1866. 



13y his own desire his remains are laid in the cemetery at 

 Torquay. 



Dr. Harvey's friend of many years, Mr. Ward, visited him in 

 those dying hours, and many months after he thus wrote of that 

 visit : " I had the great privilege of spending a day with him 

 shortly before his departure, and in all my long experience I 

 never saw a countenance more illumined by that ' peace of God 

 which passeth all understanding,' and this heavenly state con- 

 tinued to the close of his existence. May our last end be like 

 his !" 



THE END.
