Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. Richard Watson, Late Secretary to the Wesleyan Missionary Society
Watson's correspondence, of which many speci mens are given, will be found to be rich in interest, on account of its piety, elegance, and. Variety.
No man was more deeply impressed than the subject of these memoirs, with the conviction, that devotedness to God is the principal end of human life; and it is earnestly hoped that the exhibition of his own character will tend to promote this most important of all objects. Such an example of sanctified talent, and of holy zeal, in the midst Of pain and disease, has seldom been witnessed. He had learned the great practical lesson of connecting the labours Of time with the awards of eternity; and hence arose his impressions concerning both the sacredness and vanity Of the present life.
Sacred how high, and vain how low, He knew not here, but died to know.
