PREFACE.
After many unavoidable delays, this long-expected work issues from the
press. It was projected by the late Rev. Dr John Richards in Aug. 1858, hut
in March 1859 occurred his deeply lamented death, so that seven months only
were occupied by him in a most arduous undertaking. Previous to the com-
mencement of 1858, he had, however, assisted Prof. Sanborn in preparing the
Triennial of that year for publication, and as I had furnished the dates of the
deaths of Dartmouth Alumni, its Medical Classes and Alibi for the Triennials
of 1849, 1852, and 1855, almost entirely, he applied to me for additional in-
formation. The consequence was, that I gave him the known ages of all the
deceased in the Triennials, and added, in relation to the Alumni, the days and
months of the years when deaths had taken place, with the location thereof, to
be treasured up in the College library. These items were so numerous that they
drew from him in reply the epithet, "marvellous," and created the design of ex-
ecuting the present work. They were collected by me from 1844 to 1858, and
were most cheerfully rendered to him. So also in about forty letters, all I knew
of dead and living graduates was duly communicated.
Such being the case, on the decease of the good Doctor, all that he and a
daughter had obtained was transmitted to me for corrections and additions. But
so great were the imperfections of every kind, that from that time to this I
have been diligently employed in accumulating a mass of information which
has astonished many graduates who have seen the old and new manuscripts.
Thousands on thousands of newspapers have been consulted, with numerous
town histories, family genealogies, classologies, and periodical works. Letters,
both written and printed, have been freely despatched ; advertisements inserted
in papers and two Dartmouth Triennials, and the field of inquiry enlarged so as
to include the maternal parentage and marriages. I found also that without
exact dates of births as well as deaths it was impossible to give the con-ect age
of the deceased, no distinction being often made between a current year and its
completion, between the 70th year, for instance, and the full age of 70.
For one or two years after the papers came into my hands, Miss Julia A.
Richards, now Mrs Booth, wrote at my request to several graduates, obtaining
valuable returns, but then went to near Port Gibson, Miss, and left me unaided
by hfer. Some Class Secretaries and other Alumni, too numerous to mention,
have likewise materially benefited me by their contributions. But Mr Bax-
ter Perry Smith, of the class of 1854, has far exceeded all others by the vast

amount of intelligence he has succeeded in gaining for five or six years last past
in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York city, through per-
sonal visits and letters to graduates, their relatives and friends. And yet, even
now, there are deficiencies which living graduates could have supplied, and sur-
vivinfT relatives or friends can furnish. I have therefore concluded to publish
at present only 500 copies of the Sketches, one of which will be interleaved and
devoted to additions and emendations, which are earnestly requested by me from
all interested, so that whether I survive or not to a second edition, the materials
for a more perfect production may be kept in preservation.
Some persons may object that no more has been said of the personal or
religious character of many, especially deceased, individuals, but the little that
does appear transcends the original design of Dr Richards, which was almost
purely statistical, and has been adhered to for the most part lest too great a
bulk should enhance the price of the volume and diminish its circulation. For
the lives of tiie more distinguished, readers must repair to what has already
been recorded at length, and content themselves with the limited annals which
are here intended to preserve from oblivion the name of every educated son of
Dartmouth, no matter what may be his claim to the remembrance of posterity.
As changes of residence are continually occurring, it is to be understood that
the last place knowm may not always be the right location now.

BRIEF HISTORY OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE.
Eleazar Wheelock, a. M.-D. D. the son of Dea. Ealph and Ruth
(Huntington) Wheelock, was bovn at Windham, Ct, April 22, 1711, and died
at Hanover, April 24, 1779, je. G8, minus nine days, as his birth was according
to Old Style. He graduated at Yale College in 1733 ; studied divinity and was
ordained pastor of the 2d Cong. Church in that part of Lebanon called Lebanon
Crank, now Columbia, Ct, in March 1735. Here his pastorate continued for
about thirty-five years, and in 1754 an Indian Charity School was established by
him and named after Mr Jo-hua Moor of Mansfield, Ct, one of its principal
American benefactors. After its existence for sixteen years, devoted to the civ-
ilization and education of Indian youth, Dr Wheelock, whose honorary degree
was conferred by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, June 29, 1767, deter-
mined on obtaining a more suitable location for it, and adding thereto a sem-
inary of learning wherein they and English pupils should be trained up in clas-
sical, philosophical, and all literary, pursuits.
To effect this, early in 1770 he explored the western parts of New Hamp-
shire in search of the contemplated place, and eventually made choice of Han-
over, then called Dresden. A more healthy situation could not have been
selected. By the United States census of 1850, Vermont, the border State,
was found to have the smallest mortality for the ten preceding years, in propor-
tion to its relative population, of the entire Union, and Massachusetts the great-
est, while the venerable age of the early Dartmouth scholars may be seen in
what follows the sketches given of Laban Ainsworth, 1778, and Samuel Wood,
1779. The colony itself was also preferred to others in consequence of the
large landed endowments offered by the Hon. John Wentworth, Harv. Univ.
1755, its Royal Governor. Through him also was procured the charter of Dart-
mouth College, dated Dec. 13, 1769, from his Majesty King George the Third.
It was so named in compliment to William Legge, Earl of Dartmouth, one of
the excellent of the earth, who, with the woi'ld-renowned John Thornton, had
materially contributed to the pecuniary benefit of the Moor School. In this
charter, Dr Wheelock was recognised as the Founder and President of the
College, with the privilege of nominating his successor. Twelve persons, includ-
ing himself and the Governor, were also by this instrument appointed its first
Trustees, having power not only to confer degrees, but to fill vacancies, though
not to increase or diminish the original number.
President Wheelock removed to Hanover in August 1770, and was soon
joined by his wife, Mary (Brinsmaid), and their family; Bezaleel Woodward,
A. M. the first College Tutor, who became its first Professor of INIathematicks
and Natural Philosophy in 1782 ; several students, and others designing a per-
manent residence ; in all about 70 persons. A more remarkable settlement for

a plain where a few of its pine-trees of maje.stick height had been recently
felled, and two or three log lints constituted the only shelter. But Dr Whee-
lock was the very man to contend with difliculties, and in the spirit of an en-
lar"-ed philanthropy to overcome them. The huts were multiplied ; a frame
house for himself, a College for the students, eighty feet long and two stories
h\"\\, a Commons' Hall or Refectory, were speedily constructed under his per-
sonal supervision. Nothing, however, was in sufficient forwardness to protect
them entirely from the piercing storms of winter. Upwards of four months the
snow, shielded from the rays of the sun by the evergreen forest, was four feet
in depth. Severe hardships ensued, and throughout the inclement season in-

inaid of jNIilford, Ct. His children were 10 in number, of whom
were John AVheelock, D. C. 1771, Eleazar and James Wheelock, both D. C.
1776.
The next President was his second son, the Hon. Joiix Wheelock, A. M.-
LL. D. who graduated at the first commencement in Aug. 1771, and entered
upon the duties of his office in 1779, at the early age of twenty-five years.
Dartmouth had then sustained the loss of many students, especially in the two
lower classes, in consequence of the Revolutionary War. But a reaction soon
occurred, and througiiout his long presidency of thirty-six years, it was in a
very flourishing condition. Under him the present Dartmouth Hall was built
in 17(S<), the Medical l)e|)artment establishi'd in 1798, with Nathan Smith, M. D.
for its Profes-or, and ere long a IVIedical Hall was erected. For additional par-
ticulars recourse must be had to the sketches of him in the year 1771, where
al-o will be found the reason for shunning a minute account of his ejection from
office.
The third President was FitAxcis Bro-\vn, A. M.-D. D. of the class of 1805.
His accession was followed by painful circumstances. The legislature of New
Hampshire had passed an act materially modifying the charter of the College,
increasing the number of Trustees, and changing its title to that of Dartmouth
UnivcT.-ity, of which the Rev. William Allen, D. D. a graduate of Harvard in
BRIEF HISTOEY OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. 9
1802, became President. But the old Trustees refused to acquiesce in this
proceeding, insomuch that the two institutions were carried on at the same time
in antagonism to each other. Resort was then had to a legal tribunal. In the
first instance, the case came before the State Supreme Court, by which the leg-
islative act Avas sustained and the University pronounced the only valid corpo-
ration. From this decision the College Trustees appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States, of which the profound jurist, John Marshall, LL.
D. was Ciiief Justice. After a long argument by eminent counsel on both
sides, Daniel Webster, D. C. 1801, being one of the advocates for his Alma
Mater, the judgment of the inferior court was reversed and old Dartmouth
restored to its former position, much to the satisfaction of the country, by reason
of the maintenance of eleemosynary and vested corporate rights.
On this great occasion, President Brown went far beyond his strength in his
personal efforts to vindicate what he deemed a legitimate and righteous cause.
His health became seriously affected, and in the prime of life, to the calamitous
loss of his beloved seminary and the grief of innumerable friends, he descended
to the silent grave, after occupying his responsible station for five years. See a
notice of him in the year 1805.
Daniel Dana, A. M.-D. D. a graduate of 1788, was the fourth President
of Dartmouth, and entered upon the discharge of his duties in 1820, resigning
however in 1821. This excellent man and much-esteemed divine had therefore
small opportunity to signalize himself in the academical chair, as his class record
will show that he did most effectually in the pulpit.
Bennet Tyler, A. M.-D. D. the son of James and Anne (Hungerford)
Tyler, was born at Middlebury, Ct, July 6, 1783, and died at East Windsor, Ct,
May 14, 1858, ^.74. He graduated at Yale College in 1804 ; studied divinity
with the Rev. Asahel Hooker, A. M. of Goshen, Ct ; was ordained pastor of the
Cong. Church at South Britain, Ct, June 1, 1808, and was dismissed in 1822
to become the fifth President of Dartmouth, a situation enjoyed by him fi'om
1822 to 1828. He was next installed pastor of the Cong. Church at Portland,
Me, in Sept. 1828 ; was dismissed thence to be inducted President and Pro-
fessor of Didactick Theology at East Windsor Theo. Seminary in Ct, May 13,
1834, a position held by him for twenty-three years, to July 15, 1857, the date
of his resignation, and less than a year before his death. Nothing remarkable,
except a powerful revival of religion, came to pass during his brief presidency
of six years, but his character was veiy estimable, and all the important posts
of which he was the incumbent were filled with dignity and reputation. His
publications, 35 in number, were highly thought of. John Ellery Tyler, D. C.
1831, was his son.
Nathan Lord, A. M.-D. D. the son of the Hon. John and JMehitabel
(Perkins) Lord, was born at South Berwick, Me, Nov. 28, 1792. He graduated
at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me, in 1809 ; taught at Exeter Academy ;
studied divinity at Andover Theo. Seminary, Ms, graduating in 1815 ; was or-
dained a colleague pastor of the Cong. Church at Amherst, May 22, 1816;
dismissed Sept. 22, 1828 ; was inaugurated the sixth President of Dartmouth,
Oct. 29, 1828, and resigned the office at the College commencement in 1863,
after holding it nearly 35 years. Throughout this long period, this eminent
divine maintained a proud position in the discharge of the arduous duties of his
elevated station. Students flocked to the institution in great numbers, and at
no previous time had it attained the celebrity gained under his auspicious rule.
The requirements for admission were materially enlarged, and a far higher
amount of scholarship exacted in order to obtain collegiate honours. He had

peculiar talents as an executive officer, and though rigid in discipline, no one
could be more popular or beloved by the youth committed to his care. In ad-
dition to thi-s the augmented corps of Professors, cooperating with him, was
composed of men of eminent abilities in their several departments, who vied
with each other in contributing to the successful pursuit of letters and phi-
losophy.
So numerous indeed was the resort of students to this now famous seminary
that Dartmouth Hall was no longer adequate to their accommodation, and in
Dr Lord's time Wentworth, Thornton, and Reed, Halls came into existence,
with an Astronomical Observatory, built and furnished with instruments by the
munificence of Dr George Cheyne Shattuck, LL, D. of the class of 1803.
Great additions were also made to the Academical and Medical Libraries, as
also to those collected by the students, all comprising now about 40,000 vol-
umes. There is also a valuable Mineralogieal Cabinet given by Frederick
Hall, LL. D. of the class of 1803, and a Chemical Laboratory with an am-
ple apparatus. Nor must the Chandler Scientilick Department be forgotten,
that was founded and endowed with the noble gilt of 50,000 dollars in 1851 by
the bequest of the late Abiel Chandler, A. M. a graduate of Harvard in 1806,
and whose first class became Bachelors of Science in 1854.
Successful results like these redound to the infinite credit of the ex-president,
and long may he live reposing on the laurels adorning his brow. Many publi-
cations have proceeded from his pen, one of which, on slavery, was at variance
with Northern sentiment, and another came into collision with the anti-millena-
rian views too prevalent in our Christian community. But still in them, in ser-
mons and other productions, he is acknowledged to have exhibited talents of a
high rank, and to have expressed himself in terms where intellectual acumen
and literary scholarship predominate to an unusual degree. It is moreover a
remarkable fact, and one believed to be unprecedented in our American col-
leges, that Dr Lord is the father of eight sons who have completed their edu-
cation at Dartmouth in the years 1836, 1839, 1842, 1843, 1851, and 1856, six
of whom are still living.
Asa Dodof, Smith, A. M.-D. D. and LL. D. who graduated in the class
of 1830, where his statisticks may be found, is the seventh and present President
of Dartmouth, and was inaugurated as such Oct. 18, 1863. His antecedents
are altogether of a deserving and encouraging character, fully justifying the
choice of the Trustees and giving promise of substantial benefits accruing to the
now venerable and venerated College. Already popular within its walls, and
greatly prized by its living Alumni, he has promoted its interests with unflag-
ging zeal and perseverance. Already between 75 and 100,000 dollars have
been added to its resources, and the good work goes bravely on, challenging not
only the liberality of its graduates but of numerous friends who appear equally
anxious to render it more and more a renowned seat of learning and science.
Among others. George H(Miry Bissell, A. M. of the class of 1845, has judi-
ciously appropriated a large sum for a Gymnasium, which is now in process of
erection, if not comi)leted, at the estimated cost of 25,000 dollars. A monu-
mental edifice is also contemplated in memory of the gallant sons of Dartmouth
who perilled and lost their lives in their country's cause in the late atrocious
Rebellion. It will be of large dimensions, and some part thereof, it is said, will
be devoted to the reception of the College library. Although great numbers of
the Alumni were thus bi-illiantly employed, a complete record of their names is
yet unpublished, and the under-graduate classes were no less prodigal of their
services. Owing to this, the size of some of them was most seriously dimin-

ished, and the entrance to others greatly curtailed. But the present two lower
classes, with redoubled ranks, indicate that the old prosperity is reviving and a
bright future unerringly revealed.
Even this unpretending history Avould, however, be eminently defective were
nothing to appear pertaining to the immense benefits which have resulted from
the labours of the first President, and those who have been his successors in
office. From 1771 to 1867, inclusive, the number of Academical graduates has
been 3550 ; and though sketches of them are collected in this work, it will not
be amiss to give a condensed account of the positions some of them have occu-
pied in life. There have been 31 Judges of the U. S. and State Supreme
Courts; 15 Senators in Congress, and 61 Representatives; 2 U. S. Cabinet
Ministers; 4 Ambassadors to Foreign Courts; 1 Postmaster-General; 14
Governors of States, and 1 of a Territory; 25 Presidents of Colleges; 104
Professors of Academical, Medical, or Theological Colleges. Large numbers
also have been Judges of Minor Courts and Members of State Legislatures.
On 24 the degree of LL. D. has been conferred, and on 106 that of D. D. To
all these must be added a vast body of divines, lawyers, and physicians, with
many instructors, literary men, and authors. I could give the names of the more
distinguished and compare them without reluctance with the graduates of our
most prominent Seminaries. But numbers forbid, and the selection of a few
would be invidious to a residue equally entitled to enumeration. One circum-
stance only will be sufficient to prove that Dartmouth has deserved well of her
country. At the same time, there were residing in Boston, Ms, no less than
seven of her sons, who were justly regarded as ranking among the brightest
luminaries of the law. They were Samuel Sumner Wilde, 1789, Daniel Web-
ster, 1801, Richard Fletcher, 1806, Joseph Bell, 1807, Joel Parker, 1811,
RuCus Choate, 1819, and Charles Bishop Goodrich, 1822, Not to enlarge,
with few exceptions, her influence in religion has been emphatically conserva-
tive, and her sympathies in a national point of view eminently patriotick. She
has been the nursery of sound divines, devoted missionaries, profound jurists,
skilful physicians, brilliant statesmen, accomplished scholars, classical and learned
writers. Such are the worthies she has given to the Union, and on these rest
her claims to a nation's gratitude.
In the following pages, the State designation is not added to cities and towns
in the case of New Hampshire, nor when towns or cities of other States have
been already given in the same article will it be a second time annexed. As to
abbreviations, they will be easily understood, though D. C. for Dartmouth Col-
lege, sometimes relates to the District of Columbia.

Rev. Ebenezer IMoseley, and the Oneidas at Oquago on the Susquehanna, and
became master of their language. In May 1773, he went with Sylvanus Rip-
ley, D. C. 1771, and Elisha Porter, D. C. 1773, on a mission to the Caghnawa-
gas, preaching in their vernacular; also in 1774, with Levi Frisbie, D. C. 1771,

retained by the same with the rank of Major, as Agent for Indian affaiis and
Interpreter, being stationed at Fort Stanwix, N. Y. now Rome. Such was his
influence with thy Oneidas, that they gave him two square miles of their land,
which was at length exchanged for a tract in "Westmoreland, and his removal
occurred in 1786. Two or three years after this, while living with his wife and
two children, 18 Indian chiefs surprised him at midnight, entering the house and
telling him that they had come from their Council to take his life in atonement
for the murder by an unknown hand of one of their nation, so dooming him the
victim. He reasoned with them for a long time against their purpose without
avail, and they were about to execute it, when a squaw appeared who had
adopted him in his youth, and vehemently protested against their course, then
another in like manner, and then a third. Finding their protest produced no
effect, they suddenly threw off their blankets, each drew a knife and declared
that they would plunge them into their own bosoms if they killed him. The
chiefs were dismayed, interpreted it as the voice of the Great Spirit, and desisted.

The rescued graduate was for many years one of the Judges of Oneida Co. and
was twice honoured with a seat in the N. Y. House of Assembly. He was a good
scholar and excellent writer. An Essay of his of considerable length on Indian
Mythology, once lent to Pres. Dwight of Yale Col. but never returned, is sup-
posed to be lost. He married, 1. Lydia Camp of Salisbury, Ct, Oct. 11, 1786.

the country since 1 left college. Do not engage long at a place on the account
I am yoinig in the ministry. I am at present keeping school at Stockbridge,
where I have thirty and forty in my school, and sometimes fifty. 1 began my
school on the lirst of ]\Iay and engaged for five months ; have preached some
in the towns round about and supplied the pulpit of the great and good Mr
West, in his absence, two Sabbaths. But JMr West and 1 am not familiar, by
reason I find, that I am in or near the centre of Gravity. It is not allowed for
a ?inner to pray here, because all things are ordained of God, and neither can
the sinner change the counsel of the Divine Being by prayer. But I may say
this, that some people's God is my devil." When Stockbridge was left is not
known, but he went as a missionary to the Indians at Cranbery, N. J. in 1783,

labours were continued and his faculties retained to a very few years prior to his
departure. He was a man of great humour and a preacher of more than ordi-
nary ability; in person, of medium stature, thick set, good features, and well
formed, except a haiid disabled by early sickness. On the anniversary of his
100th birthday, the church services, commemorative thereof, were attended in
person. AVhile at Hanover, when the battle of Bunker Hill was fought, his at-
tention was directed to the report of cannon by the Lidian, Daniel Simons, D. C.

his grandson, and Andrew Ainsworth, D. C. 1794, his brother.
The year of his death, 1858, was remarkable for closing the lives of the fol-
lowing Dartmouth Graduates,
Laban Ainsworth, class 1775, M. 100 yrs, 7 mo. 28 dys.
Zachariah Green, " 1781, " 98 " 5 " 10 "
Ethan Osborn, " 1784, " .99 " 8 " 10 "
John Sawyer, " 1785, " 103 " " 5 "
Lincoln Ripley, " 1796, " 96 " 8 " 27 "
The first four averaging 100 ys, 5 mo. and 13 dys each, and the whole five
99 ys, 10 mo. and 16 dys each. Such longevity as this, in the course of a
single year of mortality, is unexampled and approachable only at a great dispar-
ity in the history of any of our colleges. It is also worthy of remark that all the
above were ministers of the gospel of Christ.
* Eli Brigham, A. M. the son of Jonas and Persis Brigham, was born at
Westborough, Ms, May 17, 1752. On leaving Dart, he embarked in mercan-

never heard from afterwards by his friends, leaving them to believe that he
must have perished on or beneath the lake.

* Peter PoiiQUONNorrEEX, was an Indian of the Stockbridge tribe, born
at Stockbridge, Ms. He was possessed of good talents and sustained an un-
blemislied character. Through life, he was called " Sir" Peter, the prefix at that
time given to the Seniors at Dartmouth. After graduation, he became a teacher
and was also a deacon in the Cong. Ch. of the Rev. Dr Stephen AVest, composed
of both whites and Indians. In 1789, he emigrated with the tribe to New
Stockbridge, Oneida Co. N. Y. and continued as he had been before one of
their chiefs. Here a collision occurred between a party devoted to him, and one
attached to Capt. Hendrick Aupaumut, another chief. The result will now be
given in the language of Levi Konkapot Jr, who writes from Stockbridge, Wise,
under the date of Sept. 22, 1858. " It is said that the spirit of party became so
enkindled, that certain individualsof the opposition began to be jealous of his grow-
ing power, influence, respectability, and fame. And in consequence, secret or-
ders were issued to put an end to his life by poison. At what age and in what
year he died, we (L. K.) are not informed." And then the writer bursts into a
panegyrick of truly Indian enthusiasm ; "Thus came to his untimely end, in the
midst of usefulness, in the midst of a bright career, in the midst of progression,
one of the most intellectual, honoured, illustrious, talented, and learned of men
of which this tribe can boast. Had he been permitted to prolong his existence,
it cannot be divined what progress he might have made in the path of human
glory." Such is the close of this very creditable, though sanguine letter, and
we may well I'egret that a native civilian of remarkable promise was tragically
depiived of the opportunity to show us the extent of Indian capabilities. He
was first starred in the Triennial of 1810.
* John Rolphe ^v^as from Mass. and died at Sheldon, N. Y. in 1819, je. G6.

ordained an evangelist and preached extensively in New England ; received sev-
eral pressing invitations to settle that were declined from the ill-health which at
length laid him aside. He then devoted himself to painting under the guidance
of Col. John Trumbull, attaining a good degree of excellence in portraits and
fancy pieces. It was by him that Pres. Eleazar Wheelock's likeness was i)aint-
ed, taken from memory some years after the good man's death, and the features
are said to be well executed. It is now in the College Library, as is also his
portrait of the Hon. John Phillips, a college trustee and benefactor. Being
among his earliest efforts, he used to call them, facetiously, his " evil deeds. " The
museum at Hartford was established by him and kept for many years. After
the death of the Rev. Dr Nathan Strong of Hartford, his pulpit was supplied
by him for two years. A Thanksgiving sermon preached in that time was pub-
lished in 1810. His whole life was eminently good and irreproachable. 'He

came confirmed insanity.

choly fate befell him. On Feb. 4, 1816, his feet being badly lacerated in walk-
ing through snow and ice, he took a horse from a shed and rode him 10 or 12

tick and died a maniack. His mental malady was now proved beyond a doubt,

ly written by Deacon John Thomas of Williamstown, Ms, who knew the vic-
tim well, " I have always considered the sentence passed on Mr Langdon the

Were it not foreign to the design of this work, all the materials are accessible
that would furnish a valuable article upon the distinguished merits of Mr Web-
ster as a scholar, advocate, jurist, and statesman. But the shelves of numerous
publiek and private libraries are adorned with the history of his life and the
wealth of his intellect, and this brief record must close with the briefer panegyr-
ick, that, while Dartmouth is justly proud of him as the most eminent of her
graduates, the almost unanimous voice; of his country pronounces him the fore-
most in mental ability among the illustrious orators and patriots who have
given her mei-ited renown throughout the civilized world.

this truly estimable man, one of the greatest ornaments of his college, by the
Rev. Charles Smith, his pastor, this admirable eulogy is taken ; "Brethren and
Friends, we have lost a truly great man. Such is the feeling of every heart in
this house, and the expression of every body's lips in the town who knew our
friend. I have tried to set before you some of the elements of his greatness,
but I am painfully conscious of having failed to do full justice to his merits, or
to have reached in delineation the true altitude of the man. But even with this
shortcoming of mine, I think enough has been fairly set forth in his character
to commend it to the admiration of all, and to make it seem worthy of imitation
to all sensible young men. You cannot all be his equals in mental endowments
and acquisitions, for he was wise above the common measure of men, but you
can follow close in his footsteps in those respects in which his great excellency
lay. That about Mr Aiken, which made him so wonderfully complete as a
mai^, was his religion. This entered into his soul as its chief nourishment, as
sap into the trunk and branches of a tree. He would have been a remarkable
man, doubtless, without piety, but no more the symmetrical man that he was,
than the tree with sapless roots is the tree " whose leaves are for the healing of
the nations."
