cible Proofs in
his Favour. His Beneficence is witnessed by the Sighs of the
Poor and Thanks of the Tradesmen: And his Death is
universally lamented, because his Life was universally
useful.

Notice of Hon. Daniel Russell, from the "Boston Gazette":--
_Charlestown, December 10, 1763._
ON Tuesday last departed this Life, after a short Illness,
the Hon. DANIEL RUSSELL, Esq; who, for upwards of Twenty
Years, was a Member of his Majesty's Council for this
Province: He also served the Province as Commissioner of
Impost, and the County of Middlesex as Treasurer, for more
than fifty Years; in the Discharge of all which Offices,
such was his conscientious Fidelity and unsullied Integrity,
as procured him universal Approbation and Esteem.
In public and private Life, his whole Conduct was such as
evidently showed his invariable desire and endeavour to
preserve a Conscience void of Offence both towards God and
Man; and by the Rectitude of his Behaviour, to adorn and
recommend the holy Religion which he professed, and to
approve himself to the all-searching Eye of the Father of
Spirits.
His Memory is greatly honoured by all who were acquainted
with him, in whose esteem he was truly that "noblest Work of
God, _An honest Man_."
It is observable that in the several Offices which he
sustained, he succeeded his worthy Father and Grandfather;
both of whom held and discharged the same, for a great
Number of Years, with unspotted Reputation.
His Remains, we hear, will be inter'd on Monday next, on
which Day, had he lived, he would have entered the 79th Year
of his Age.
"The sweet Remembrance of the just
"Shall flourish when he sleeps in dust."
