73 services of Sandiford in the cause of humanity, several years ago interested themselves in collecting subscriptions, to be applied to the erection of a wall around his grave. It is to be regretted that a design so honourable to the feelings of those who intended thus to pay a well-deserved tribute of respect to the memory of that excellent man, should have been abandoned, because they did not all agree in the precise mode of executing the work.

But whether neglect or veneration be the lot of the mouldering frame of the pious and enlightened Sandiford, it is a precious consolation to believe, that the great principles which he avowed and advocated, are rising into dominion among mankind in proportion to the rapidly diffusing light of christianity, and promise, like the holy precepts of that religion, to be indestructible and eternal.
