,With this gentleman my father acted as justice, and was united in friendship and party ; and to him he resorted upon all occa- sions, were the opinion and advice of a judicious friend were wanted. Our families corresponded in the utmost harmony, and our interchange of visits was frequent and delightful. The house of Ecton was to me a second home, and the hospitable master of it a second father ; his gaiety of heart, his suavity of temper, the interest he took in giving pleasure to his guests, ...and the fund of information he possessed in the stores of a well-furnished memory and lively animated genius, are ever fresh in my recollection, and I look back upon the days I have passed with him as some of the happiest in my life. For many years before his death, I saw this excellent man by 37 intervals excruciated with a tormenting and incura- ble disease, which laid too deep and undiscoverable in his vitals to admit of any other relief than lauda- num in large doses could at times administer : no- thing but a soul serene and piously resigned as his was, could have borne itself up against a visitation at once so agonizing and so hopeless; a spirit, how- ever, fortified by faith, and a conscience clear of re- proach can effect great things, and my heroic friend through all his trials smiled in the midst of his suf- ferings, and submitted unrepining to his fate.
