ad been shut up in the Black Hole, where,
while they perished, she is said to have retained life by swallowing
her tears. Dr. Bishop, of Merchant Taylors' School--Clive's
School--wrote Latin verses on the story, which thus conclude--

"...Nescit sitiendo perire
Cui sic dat lacrymas quas bibat ipsa fides."

[10] But not its Church. In October 1796 Mr. A. Johnstone, thirty
years elder in Lady Yester's congregation, beside the University of
Edinburgh, began a prayer meeting for Carey's work and for foreign
missions. He was summoned to the Presbytery, and there questioned as
if he had been a "Black-neb" or revolutionary. This meeting led to the
foundation of the Sabbath School and Destitute Sick Societies in
Edinburgh. See Lives of the Haldanes.

"Oh! thou my soul forget no more
The Friend who all thy misery bore."

gave this form to his delirious talk: "I treated him very roughly and
refused to touch his medicine. In vain did he retire and put on a
black coat. I knew him and was resolved."

[14] In a criticism of the three Sanskrit grammars of Carey, Wilkins,
and Colebrooke, the first number of the Quarterly Review in 1809
pronounces the first "everywhere useful, laborious, and practical. Mr.
Wilkins has also discussed these subjects, though not always so amply
as the worthy and unwearied missionary. We have been much pleased with
Dr. Carey's very sensible preface."

[15] It was reserved for a young Orientalist, whom the career of Carey
and Wilson of Bombay attracted to the life of a Christian missionary,
to do full justice to this book and its literature. In 1885 the Hon.
Ion Keith-Falconer, M.A., published, at the Cambridge University Press,
his Kalilah and Dimnah, or The Fables of Bidpai: Being an Account of
their Literary History, with an English Translation of the later Syriac
Version of the Same, and Notes. The heroic scholar and humble follower
of Christ, having given himself and his all to found a Mission to the
Mohammedans of South Arabia, at Sheikh Othman, near Aden, died there,
on 11th May 1887, a death which will bring
