riend, the strait, the shining way: that is the path thy Christian neighbor trod,-- The path that ends in happiness and God.’ Rev. Dr. Colman, of Boston, in his sermon, preached at Medford, April 6, 1735, after the death of his daughter, Mrs. Jane Turell, speaks thus of Dr. Tufts: I leave a grateful record of my particular obligation to the pious and beloved physician of the town, who, to and even beyond his power, has always ministered gratis to the pastor and his family.

merican verse marked the beginning of a new era, that of the heroic couplet. But though Colman praises Waller and Blackmore and recommends both to his daughter Jane Turell, he himself, when he wrote his Elijah's translation (1707) on the death of the Rev. Samuel Willard, imitated Dryden in his heroic couplets and his method of applying a Bible story as in Absalom and Achitophel. Jane Turell (1708-1735), whose literary tastes were formed by her father, admired the Matchless Orinda, Blackmore, and Waller; but she wrote the couplet of Pope. Another and even earlier evidence of the influence of Pope is a poem by Francis Knapp, who was born in England in 1672,ted, which contains among other pieces paraphrases from the Bible, translations from Horace, and half a dozen elegies, including one on Cotton Mather and one on Jane Turell.

Born in Boston, New England, February 2Dr. Coleman that one feels the Memoirs of Mrs. Jane Turell give much more information regarding her however). The short and simple annals of Mrs. Turell's life are so much more interesting in theat I shall continue to quote from it. Mrs. Turell was the third child of Reverend and Mrs. Co a child of nine than his other commands.
