MEMOIRS OF WILLIAM STEVENS, ESQ. ALTHOUGH it is to the Author a source of the purest and most unmixed pleasure, to be required to give some account of his departed friend, the subject of this Memoir; yet he should have been happy, as well for the sake of those, into whose hands this tribute of affection may fall, as that more ample justice might have been done to the character of the excellent man, whose life is about to be recorded, that some other person, whose avocations are not so pressing and laborious as those of the writer, had undertaken the task. But having, in the moment of his unexpected death, written a hasty sketch of his character in the Gentleman's Magazine for Feb. 1807, none of Mr. Stevens's numerous friends would afterwards take out of the Author's hands a work, which they were pleased to think was thus appropriated B |
