y Sussex College, Cambridge:
formerly Curate of Bolnhurst and Colmworth, Chaplain of the House of
Industry, Bedford, and incumbent of Christ Church in that town. He died
4th Sept 1845, and his memory is still cherished by those who were
brought under his influence. Dr. Brown, the biographer of Bunyan,
informs me, 'There is a little Nonconformist community at Ravensden,
about three miles from Bedford, first formed by his adherents, and they
keep hung upon the wall behind the pulpit the trumpet Mr. Matthews used
to blow on village greens and along the highways to gather his
congregation.'

{135} Referring to a passage in the Garden of Cyrus, near the end: 'To
keep our eyes open longer, were but to act our _Antipodes_. The Huntsmen
are up in _America_, and they are already past their first sleep in
_Persia_.'

{166} _Note by E. F. G._--Also, bottle-brown: in general all bottled
things are not so fresh coloured as before they were put in. A gherkin
loses considerably in freshness. The great triumph of a housekeeper is
when her guests say, 'Why, are these _really_ bottled gooseberries! They
look like fresh, etc.'
