From the particular nature of his mind and his physical temperament, which inclined him rather to thoughtful speculation than to active exertion, he took little part in the great political, religious or social movements of his day. He had, indeed, not much faith in pushing on society beyond its own natural quiet pace; more distrust than was perhaps quite reasonable, of the good to be effected by extensive organizations and philanthropic systems. He was more inclined to let it evolve its own ameliorations out of its own felt wants and efforts to supply them; to trust to private benevolence exercised in its own proper sphere and on its own immediate neighbourhood, rather than to associated exertions. He would say, in illustration of his principle, that if you wanted to improve the dwelling of a Scotch peasant, for example, you must not do it by building him an English model cottage, for which his habits had not yet fitted him, but a better one of his own kind. To im

provements in this way he was a great friend, and took much pleasure in working at them himself. All his opinions, however, though expressed with great moderation, were broad and liberal, and ever on the side of progress. He once said pithily enough, that an old man who wanted to stop and stand still may be pardoned, but a young one who would do the same was most probably either a knave or a fool.

Mr. Kennedy was not in the habit of giving much external expression to his inward feelings and emotions. He had undoubtedly, however, fine sensibilities and strong affections. The steadfastness of his friendships was a marked

feature in his character. The friends of his youth were those of his later days. He was continually making new ones as he advanced in life-many of them not undistinguished men; and those which he made, he seldom, if ever, lost. From his earliest days, he always sought for the best society which circumstances at the time enabled him to command; and as he had great natural modesty, an entire absence of pretension, a thorough desire of selfimprovement, and a genuine respect for superior talent and knowledge, he was readily admitted into the best; and the position which he once won for himself, he maintained ever after.

There are not many men, who have lived so strictly a private life, who have been more widely known, or will be more respectfully remembered.

Nov. 20, at Birmingham, Mr. ROBт. EDMONDS, aged 23 years. From an early period of life he was connected with the Sunday-schools of the Old meeting. Latterly he had acted as their Secretary. His attention to his duties, and the suavity of his manners, in him the index of a good heart, won for him the confidence of his companions and the warm affection of his friends. His early and almost sudden death is deeply lamented.
