the writings of one who was his predecessor as a Christian Orientalist,
Sir William Jones. The closing paragraph has this sentence:--"A
frequent perusal of the book of Psalms is recommended to all. We

[6] Mr. Thomas Haddon of Clipstone writes: "I recollect when I was
about ten years old, at my father's house; it was on a Saturday, Carey
was on his way to Arnsby (which is twenty miles from Moulton) to supply
there the following Sabbath; he had then walked from Moulton to

tragedy was living in Calcutta and bore his own name, though the
missionary knew it not. Mrs. Carey was a country-born woman, who, when
