      which , by this time , has taken possession of every heart that deserves the name of heart : and , to moralise on an event that admits no alleviation but from the hand of time , no remedy but from the hope of a re-union in that world into which

      Death of Professor Young . ( Extract of a letter . ) Glasgow , Nov . 19 , 1820 . I take up my pen to inform you of an awful dispensation of Providence which has just involved us in astonishment and

      dismay . Death has struck one of the greatest ornaments of our College . Professor Young is no more . He died yesterday afternoon at 4 o ' clock , while taking a warm bath at the George inn . The cause of his death is not yet known . Mr . Jeffray , the Professor of Anatomy , thinks

      that it is something connected with the heart . From the posture in which he was found , it is thought that he died in a moment . I saw him in the Trongate about a quarter before four ; he was possessed of all his usual firmness and vigour , and the Lectures which he delivered

      during the week , were , if any ways altered , rather more animated than before . It is rather a strange thing , but in the Junior Greek Class yesterday morning , he was talking very much of the fear of death , though that subject was perfectly irrelevant to the lecture . He said , we all

      have a fear of death ; we do not like the word death s and we are glad to pass it over by availing ourselves of the word dissolution . Several quotations which he made in illustration of his lecture , were likewise on the melancholy topic of death . In defending Homer from the

      charge of repetition for the sake of rhyme , he said that we find repetitions in every author , especially in the Holy Scriptures , as , ** Thou shalt die , and thou shalt not live . " The familis in the

      y greatest grief ; Mrs . Young is quite inconsolable . Charles Young , the son , who is to be his successor to the Greek chair , is in a very bad state of health , and it is very doubtful whether his strength will be equal to the arduous duties of a Greek teacher .

      These are all the particulars I have hitherto been able to collect , and I shall leave the melancholy subject with recording my deep-felt admiration of Mr . Young as a Greek scholar .
