    Credit on i Sir , October 13 , 1820 . I transmit you a memoir of the late Rev . Wm . Hazlitt , who died at this place on 16 th July last , at the advanced age of 84 ; after having for upwards of

    half a century laboured in the promulgation of the simple Unity of God , and the general rationality of gospel principles : and who may , therefore , be justly regarded as one of the fathers of the modern Unitarian church . From all that

    I have been able to learn of his general character , as well as from my short acquaintance with him , he was a man of sterling and inflexible principle ; one who made every worldly interest submit to a steady and faithful adherence to what he conceived to be the path of rectitude ; one who could not be deterred by the

    frowns , nor seduced by the smiles of the world , from maintaining a conscience void of offence : hence it followed , as a natural consequence , that throughout the whole of his useful life , he was the steady and inflexible advocate of the cause of civil and religious liberty . To this he sacrificed every earthly consideration ,

    for this he lived , and , for this he was read y to die—the determined enemy of every species of political tyranny , as well as spiritual domination ; as his many contributions to your valuable Miscellany , both in its first and present series , as well as to other periodical works , sufficiently shew . To him the admirable words of Watts apply with great propriety : VOL ; XV . 4 S

    Like a strong mountain , or some stately tree , . My soul grows firm upright : And as I stand and as 1 go It keeps my body so : No ! I can never part with my creation ' s right . Let slaves and asses stoop and bow , I cannot make this iron knee

    Bend to a meaner pow ' r than that which forni'd it free . The venerable subject of the present memoir was born at Shraun Hill , jaear Tipperary , Ireland , the 18 th April , 1737 . At about the age of \ 9 he went to Glasgow University ; remained there five

    years , and obtained the degree of Master of Arts . Though brought up in orthodox : principles , it is supposed that ha gradually imbibed rational views of religion : and at the time of his quitting the University ,-he may be considered as possessing general Unitarian sentiments . His first

    settlement was with the Presbyterian congregation at Wisbeach , Cambridgeshire , in the year 1764 , where he remained for the space of two years ; during which he formed an acquaintance with the daughter of Mr . Loftus , of that town , and which soon after his resignation of his charge

    in that place , was further strengthened by matrimonial ties : and by whom he had seven children , three of whom , with their mother , now survive him . From Wisbeach he removed to the charge of the Presbyterian congregatioa at Marshneld , Gloucestershire , where he remained about four years and a half . His next settle-
