CONDUCT IN THE PROSPECT OF SPEEDY DISSOLU- TION. HIS DEATH. AUTUMN of 1825. Retirement from public duties, with the bracing and invigorating air of the sea, had this year failed in producing their ordinary beneficial effects, and Mr. Townsend appears to have returned home with a conviction that nature was soon to be dis- solved. In September and October he went to the College at Wymondley, where, on the latter visit, he was so much indisposed, that an immediate return to London was considered n...ecessary; but a sermon had been promised in a neighboring town, and he determin- ed on fulfilling the engagement. He left on the follow- ing morning at six o'clock, and on his arrival at home, was menaced with the rupture of a vessel on the lungs. To prevent this, he was bled on that, and on the suc- ceeding day; which, with other remedies, averted the threatened attack; but the breaches made in the citadel were daily widening, and every repulse grew feebler. 132 MEMOIR OF In November, Mr. Townsend re-commenced public duties.
