y labours in England in 1829, in that he, without
any visible support, and without being connected with any missionary
society, went with his wife and children to Bagdad, as a missionary,
after having given up a lucrative practice of about 1500l. per year,
returned in Autumn 1852, from the East Indies, a third time, being
exceedingly ill. He lived, however, till May 20th, 1853, when, after a
most blessed testimony for the Lord, he fell asleep in Jesus in my
house. I should more fully dwell on this to myself amid my family's
deeply important event, had not a very full biography been published by
the widow of my dear brother-in-law, in which also full particulars are
given of the last days of this servant of Christ. I therefore refer the
reader to the deeply interesting memoir, which has been published at
Nisbet's, London, and may be had at the Bible and Tract Warehouse of
the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad, 84, Park
Street, Bristol, and through all booksellers, under the title: Memoir of
the late Anthony Norris Groves, second edition, with a portrait, cloth,
4s. 6d.; fine paper, cloth, 6s. 6d.

Children, bereaved of both parents by death, from May 26, 1853, to May

In the last chapter on this subject I stated, that, on May 26, 1853, I
had actually in hand, towards the accomplishment of my object, the sum
of 12,531l. 12s. 0 1/4 d. I will now give some further particulars as to
the manner in which it pleased the Lord to supply me with means, but
must confine myself to those donations which more specially may call for
notice.

June 28, 1853. From Wakefield 40l., with 5l. for Mr. Craik, and 5l. for
my own personal expenses.--Also 220l. from the West of England, of
which the donor kindly wishes me to take 20l. for my own private
expenses, and to use the 200l. as might be most needed. I have taken,
therefore, 100l. for the Building Fund; 60l. for missionary operations,
the circulation of Bibles and Tracts; and 40l. for the Orphans.

July 14. Received 541l. 10s., which being left to me as most needed, I
took 100l. for the current expenses for the Orphans, 100l. for the other
objects, and 341l. 10s. for the Building Fund. Being just now in great
family affliction, this kindness of the Lord has been a great
refreshment to my spirit.

July 15. From Clifton 1s.--Received also 110l. from one who counts it
an honour to have th
