he had
never known a sorrow or gone without a dinner in his life. He thus sums
up his labours:--'I began in 1821, and accomplished in 1826, my
missionary labours among the dispersed of my people in Palestine, Egypt,
Mesopotamia, Persia, Crimea, Georgia, and the Ottoman Empire. My next
labours among my brethren were in England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland,
and the Mediterranean, from 1826 to 1830. I then proceeded to Turkey,
Persia, Turkistaun, Bokhara, Affghanistan, Cashmere, Hindostan, and the
Red Sea, from 1831 to 1834.' In 1835 the Doctor left England for a
Missionary tour in Abyssinia--thence for Bombay--thence for the United
States. In June 1838 he received priest's orders from the Bishop of
Dromore, and became curate of Linthwaite, near Huddersfield, where he had
the princely income of 24 pounds a-year--thence he moved in 1840 to the
curacy of High Ryland, near Wakefield. In 1843, at the desire of the
Stoddard and Conolly Committee, he undertook to ascertain the fate of
those officers, and entered Cabul, where again he was in danger of death,
but saved by the friendly power of Persia. He is now rector of the Isle
of Brewers, Somersetshire, but has been recently in London, lecturing and
preaching. Hence his parishioners see but little of him. He is here and
there and everywhere. The Doctor should never have settled, or if he did
settle it should have been in London, where there is something fresh, and
wonderful, and stirring every day.
