health, which great fimplicity of digt, even- 
nefs of temper, and activity, with regular 
exercife in the open air, and various employ- 
meat, promifed to continue, at leaft, to the 
full ufual extent of life 5 yet this fhe was far 
from reaching. “A moft dangerous. and afflic- 
tive complaint had been long and impercep- 
tibly ftealing on her conftitution, which, 
though good, was delicate, as it generally 
is, where, with great force of mind, there is 
much fenfibility. Suddenly this fatal com 
plaint manifeited itfelf by a moft alarming. at- 
tack on the fyftem, The immediate danger, 
which was exceflive, was obviated by the ufe 
of Ruspini’s Styprtic, aided, it may be 
juftly believed, by her own fortitude, and con- 
ftant equanimity ; and by the ficill and atten- 
tive care of Dr. WutTe, of Bury, and Mr. 
Barker, of IxwortH. But the laft ftroke, 
although delayed, could not for more than 
fome weeks be averted*. A mof fevere and 
excruciating illnefs fhe fuftained, as long as 
the powers of nature would permit, with her 
habitually mild compofure. Recolleéted to. 
the laft, her mind was occupied, as from the 
firft of hee life it had been, in thoughts and 
exertions of fympathy and beneficence ; and 
her laft hours were comparatively eafyandeven 
chearful. She was removed from this life by 
an almoft imperceptible expiration, about a 
quarter before eight in the morning. ‘That 
fucha being was lent to fociety, efpecially to 
that portion of fociety to which he could he 
mo ufeful, was no orginary bleiling 5 and, in 
times like theje, however dics iapine the prof- 
pects were which feemed to be opening to her 
family, who can fay how far ber removal 
now. from this ftate of exiftence may have 
been an effential and neceflary blefling to her- 
felf. Though we {peak here of a female cha- 
rater, we may judge of this truth by confi- 
dering others eminent in the public view; 
and the moft private’ characters poffefied of 
forefight and focial feeling, have fufficient 
caufe to think of impending ill. If our late 
_admirable female Historian, it Mary 
WoLtsTONECRAFT, if Madame Rotanp, 
if of men who have adorned literature and 
{cience, and benefited mankind, a JEBB,a 
Price, anda WAKEFIELD, a RovssEau, 
a MALEsnERnts, were now living, we are 
fure they would have caufe to fufter for them- 
elves, their conne€tions, their country, and 
human happinefs in general; and we are far 
from fure that they could have lived to fee 
thefe days of gloom and deftruétion, fo bane- 
ful to private and public welfare, pafs away. 
Hzave™ only knows, and alonecando, what

feen by events, that they have been merci- 
fully withdrawn from the evils to come.
