him with the highest honorary title in their gift, a piece of respect not to be slighted by any man of letters. When we consider Dr. Lardner's extraordinary attainments and learning, the reflection which he made on receiving his degree, displayed a remarkable humbleness of mind. I pray God, said he, I may not be elevated by any acceptance my labours meet with, but that I may proceed with humility, diligence, and integrity in the whole of my life. Kippis's Life of Lardner, XXXVI. In 1750, Dr. Lardner published a volume of Sermons, chiefly of a practical character. These sermons, it may be presumed, are a fair specimen of the usual style of his preaching, and probably afford us, at the same time, a tolerably exact criterion of the preacher's own mind and character. They are judicious and instructive; and the perusal of them cannot fail to be profitable to those who can be persuaded to bestow upon them the attention which they deserve. The style is correct and perspicuous, b

have also strongly recommended it to the careful study of candidates for the ministry in the Established Church. As for the worthy author himself, though by no means indifferent to the favourable opinion of the wise and good, we cannot doubt that he would receive the idle ravings of a Macgowan with contempt, or rather with mild compassion; thinking it enough to reply in the language of the apostle, with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment. In 1750 Mr. Taylor published a Collection of Tunes in various Airs, for the use of his Congregation. This was one of the first collections of the kind, and a plain and simple introduction to the art of singing was prefixed to it. This was an accomplishment in which the author delighted and excelled; an accomplishment, we may add, which seems to have been inherited in no ordinary degree by not a few of his descendants. The pleasure, we are told, which the author took in instructing the younger part

int so much above our reach, yet if he loves him, trusts in him, and sincerely obeys him, what harm does religion suffer by it? But I need not enlarge upon this to you, who are so well instructed in the unreasonableness of bigotry to a set of speculative notions. Biographia Britannica, art. Doddridge. Mr. Samuel Clark, son of Dr. Clark, was born in 1727, and in 1745 was sent to the academy at Northampton, where he improved his opportunities with so much diligence and success, that, in 1750, when Dr. Doddridge was obliged to abandon his laborious duties, and seek for health in a warmer climate, he entrusted Mr. Clark, at the early age of twenty-three, with the charge not only of his academy, but of his congregation. This circumstance is a remarkable indication of the liberal turn of Doddridge's truly Christian and candid mind; for he could not be ignorant that his young friend and pupil, in whom he was about to repose so important a trust, had already embraced sentiments on va
