$n fervent gratitude, the benefit he had himself received from that work, and concluding an animated eulogium, by saying, “ How have I prayed for that man !” What a blessed meeting may we not suppose they have had in the world of glory! i -i The medical friend before alluded to has most justly ! remarked, that the entire simplicity and sincerity of \ Dr. Bateman’s natural character give additional value to i all that fell from him. He never used a language that ; was at all at variance with his real feelings, and was in no ' degree given to vain imaginations. This testimony is ^ very true ; and this remarkable simplicity and sobriety of his natural character remained unaltered in the great revo¬ lution which took place in his principles and dispositions. He went into no exaggerations of feelings, or excesses of enthusiasm. And surely the merciful Providence which preserved his sound understanding, in all its integrity, to the last moment of his life, must silence the gaiiisayer and “ the disputer of this world,” who might strive to attri¬ bute the sacred influence of religion on his mind to the errors of an intellect impaired by long disease and suffering. — London : Printed by A.
