There is another copy in the State House at Providence. 557 Called WILLIAM CODDINGTON of Rhode Island (559) HE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY -TOW, ' COTTON, REV. JOHN, 1585-1652. So called. Mather, in "The Magnalia, " says of him: "The reader that is inquisitive after the prosopography of this great man, may be informed, that he was of a clear, fair, sanguine complexion, and like David of a 'ruddy countenance. ' He was rather low than tall, and rather fat than lean, but of a becoming mediocrity. In h...is younger years his hair was brown, but in his later years as white as the driven snow. In his countenance there was an inexpressible sort of majesty, which commanded reverence from all that approached him : this Cotton was indeed the Cato of his age, for his gravity; but had a glory with it which Cato had not. " The painting, reproduced here, was purchased from a dealer, about 1850, by Mr. John E. Thayer, of Boston. From his widow, later Mrs. R. C. Winthrop, it came to Miss Adele G. Thayer, their daughter.
