tribute is no relative; but knew the lady 
enough to admire her, when living, and fin- 
cerely to lament her death. Without the 
{malleft portton of parade or pedantry, the 
was learned, beyond what is generally ex- 
pected of her fex, even when affifted, as fhe 
wes, in early life, by many peculiar advan- 
tages; but of late, to her own application for 
her progrefs in knowledge, fhe was princi- 
pally indebted. She feemed to feel, what all 
will feel if they try, that the human mind is 
a mine of inexhauftible treafure tu thofe who 
induftrioufly explore it; and that, without 
this, all external advantages are of no avail, 
From the years of childhood, almoft to the 
Jaft period of her life, her attention was 
given to the culture of her mind... She read 
with facility, the French and Ttalian lan- 
Suages; and fhe was confiderably verfed in 
hiftory, which, to the refle€ting and judi- 
cious reader, is indeed a fource of the moft 
Valuable improvement. Yet, with thefe fo- 
berer ftudies, fhe conftantly cherifhed a tafte 
for the politer and more elegant walks of 
literature. That her reading was not the 
mere beguilement of time, is evinced by the 
very judicious refle€tions, inferences, and 
reafonings, which appear in her notes on the 
various authors whom fhe conveifed with. 
She was, withal, the woman in all the grace- 
ful and ufeful accomplifhments of the wo- 
Man—modeit, tender, and affcétionate: fhe 
anfwered to every thing that could be wifhed 
for in the daughter, the fifter, and the friend. 
Few excelled her in the ufe of the needle; 
and, inafmuch as her health would permit, 
fhe was not inattentive to domeftic concerns, 
without which every woman muft want the 
appropriate and finifhing grace. A know- 
Jedge, beyond her age and her fex, had not 
infefted her with the dangerous and comfort- 
lefs philofophy of the times: fhe was the 
modeft and humble Chriftian; and to the 
Senerous doctrine and generous faith of the 
New Teftament fhe was, moft probably, in- 
debted for her calm and unyielding fortitude 
during a lengthened, debilitating, and painful 
iilnefs. With a body wafted to its very 
threads, her underftanding was clear, colleét- 
ed, and vigorous to the very laft moment; a 
phenomenon alone almoft fufficient to confute 
the earth-born doétrinie of the materialift. 
It is melancholy to add, ‘that this promifing 
female was, to all appearance, a victim to 
that infuriate party rage, which diffolved all 
the bonds of civil fociety, and fet citizen 
in hatred againft his fellow; and which was 
the work (and will be not the leaft difgrace) 
of an adminiftration, that will be committed 
to pofterity with well-earned infamy and ab- 
horrence. The unjust, malignant, and cruel 
perfecution of her father, gave the firft blow 
to a conftitution, naturally ftrong, which re- 
quired eleven years of progrefiive fufiering to 
conduét her to the grave. A few intervals 
of flattering hope intervened; but-in vain: 
the blow was at her heart. Her life and

death, as well as many fimilar examples, 
furnith one important leffon.—There muft be 
a ftate of retribution. No wife artift can 
rear and conduét a work to the higheft beauty 
and perfection, and in a moment, and as in 
wantonnefs, tommit it to deftruétion. She 
lived long enough to be ripe for that’ better 
world, of which the gofpel has given the 
affured promife. This confoles her furvivors 3 
while her virtues, in the mean time, are en- 
tombed in their hearts, and are a generous 
ftimulus to a laudable imitation,
