[The late Reverend Jofeph Evans, of Shef- 
field, was born at Manchefter, on the 2d of 
April, 1728. He was the only furviving fon 
of Mr. Roger Evans, of that place, mer- 
chant, by Ann his wife, daughter of the Re-~ 
verend Jofeph Dawfon, ie Morley, near 
Leeds, a defcendant of the eminently pious 
Jofeph Dawfon, of Thoruton,* one of thofe 
illuftrious Confeffors who, in the days of 
perfecution, endured very fevere afflictions 
rather than violate the dictates of confcience, . 
Difcovering very early a thirft after ufeful 
knowledge, and being of a grave, ferious, 
difpofition, his worthy parents refolved to 
devote him to the lervice of religion. Per- 
haps this refolution of theirs might be 
ftrengthened by recollecting that he was ma- 
ternally defcended from a family, feveral 
branches of which had been fuccefsful minif- 
ters of the Golpel. The anecdotes which 
would be frequently repeated to hin of their 
piety and refignation under fevere undeferv- 
ed {ufferings, muft have deeply impreiled his 
tender mind, and cutee to excite thofe 
fentiments of efteem and veneration fortheit 
memories which he ever afterwards retained, 
and probably raifed in him a defire to emu- 
late their ufcfulnefs. At the fame tine he 
would naturally be led to behold every ipe- 
cies of perfecution fer confcience-fake in ut-— 
ter abhorrence, and to efpoufe the moft cene- 
rous ideas re{pecting the nature and inpor- 
tance of civil and religious liberty.—At feven 
or eight years of age, Mr. Evans was put un- 
der the care of the iRevereiid Mr. Knuipht, 
who then kept an academy at Newton 
Heath, near Manchefer ; and about the year 
1744 he-was introduced under Coward’s 
fundto an academy in London, of which the 
very learned Dr. David Jennings was princi- 
pal tutor, and where many worthy and high- 
ly-refpectable Minifters had their education. 
Here he very afiiduouflly applied himfelf to 
his ftudies, and made confiderable progre(s 
in every {pecies of learning neceiiary to qua- 
lity him for the important office to which he 
was deftined. Of his fellow-minifters, few 
were better claflics, and yet fewer had that 
critical knowledge of the Holy Scriptutes 
which Mr. Evaus poffeffed.—It was eeaaciba 
by the truftees of Coward’s fund, that the 
young men fupported by it fhould be breught 
up in fentiments frictly Calvinifical. Thefe 
were alfothe ackno: wledged tenets of Dr. Jen-
