had

had dispersed would only be like so many drops thrown into the sea.' He thence departed for Grand Cairo, where Jews, Turks, Syriaus, Copts, Christians, and Pagans, visited him; and where he could have dispersed a far greater number of copies if he had possessed them. From Cairo he went to Jerusalem, where he visited all the convents and public places, and furnished them every where with copies. Leaving Jerusalem, going by Syria, and visiting the places on the road, he came to the great commercial city of Aleppo, in the neighbourhood of which the fever attacked him, and closed his life and labours.”—The personal exertion and fatigue of such a journey may readily be conceived; but the incessant labour of speaking, and recommending with urgency the great work in which he had embarked, on every step of his journey, and to every party to whom he was introduced, may scarcely be imagined; and of him it may now be said, that he rests from his labours and his works do follow him.

This melancholy event must have happened at the end of January, as a letter has been received from a passenger on board the ship, dated the 27th of that month, in which he is spoken of in the highest terms, for his talents, activity, and kindness of heart, which had caused the strongest attachment to him on the part of the whole of the sailors.
