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. * * * * * THE END. * * * * * JOHN CHILDS AND SON, PRINTERS. * * * * * _Just Published_, _price_ 3_s._ 6_d._, _bound in cloth_, SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED, THE LONDON PULPIT.
