have the best means of knowing that,
while at Lisbon, his intercourse and influence with the Court, and
with the representatives of all the great powers, was most acceptable
and most salutary. His residence in Portugal was in many ways
delightful. The delicious climate, the cultivated and refined society
of the diplomatic circle, temporary rest from labor, and change of
scene and occupations, were all sources of pleasure. Yet here he was
touched by one of his deepest sorrows, for at Lisbon, November, 1851,
'by the side of Philip Doddridge, in the English cemetery,' he buried
his youngest son, a beautiful boy of eleven years.

"He returned from Portugal early in 1856, after an absence of nearly
four years; and, having previously terminated his connection with the
college, spent the remainder of his life at West Lebanon."

Prof. N. S. Folsom says:

"Professor Haddock was the 'orator suavi loquenti ore,' and he was
much more than this. Both by precept and example he raised the
standard of speaking and writing among the students, and stimulated
them to the pursuit of a manly eloquence. There also prevailed a very
general conviction of his sincerity and moral earnestness, and of his
interest in our successful career in life. The themes he gave led us

reason--unrestricted divine reason--the portion inscribed on our
hearts of the universal law, 'whose seat is the bosom of God, her
voice the harmony of the world.' Occasionally he preached in the
Hanover village church, where the students attended. He never had so
much as a scrap of any notes before him; and this was his habit also
at White River, where he steadily officiated. I need not add that the
students always were greatly delighted when they had the privilege to
hear him. Every discourse was as complete as though it had been
carefully written and committed to memory; but evidently his was no
_memoriter_ preaching. One sermon I pa
