greatness, which he "would not willingly let die." And he finds satisfaction in cherishing the hope that if the fervent but gentle and lovely spirit of the departed, amidst the experience of heavenly life and bliss, is conscious of ought that is transpiring in the world he has left, he may look with favor upon the humble endeavor which has thus been made to preserve to the world for whose highest good he ever labored, and to the Church for whose interests he was ever ready to sacrifice every thing but duty, some memorial of his life and of his example.

To the many friends of the deceased, clerical and lay, who have kindly furnished him with their valuable aid in the discharge of his task, the editor would express his sincere and grateful acknowledgments. The selection from the sermons of Dr. Bayard has been made by a reverend brother, to whom the editor has been much indebted during the whole course of preparation for the press. The editor is responsible, however, for the insertion of the first sermon, published in the Episcopal Pulpit, for July, 1835, sent to him by an unknown hand.

In regard to the selections from Dr. Bayard's . journals, the editor would add, that the principle which has mainly guided him, is that of presenting as faithful and full a picture, as possible, of the character of the deceased in his own words. Many of his remarks, during his European tour, have been

omitted, as giving no information which was new, and designed only for the eyes of his family and private friends. His journal in the Holy Land is given nearly entire, with such corrections as the circumstances under which it was written, rendered necessary. This part of the work has proved, to the editor, the most interesting, and he doubts not that his readers also will find it so. The letters of the American Consul at Malta, and of the friends who were permitted to be with him in his last days are given entire.

With these explanations the editor commits his humble attempt to the press, with the prayer that HE" from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed," may so add his blessing, that many, through this imperfect exhibition of the character and life of one "whose praise

is in the Churches," and whose "record is in heaven," may be impressed with a true sense of the value and blessedness of religion, and may so live and so die, that they, "with all those who have departed in the true faith of God's holy name, may have their perfect consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in His eternal and everlasting kingdom."

FESTIVAL OF ST. ANDREW, 1841.

MEMOIR OF DR. BAYARD.

For he hath taken with the Living Dead

His honorable place,

Yea, with the saints of God

His holy habitation. Hearts, to which

Through ages he shall speak,

Will yearn towards Him; and they too, (for such
Will be) who gird their loins

With truth to follow him

Having the breastplate on of righteousness,

The helmet of salvation, and the shield

Of faith-they too, will gaze

Upon his effigy

With reverential love,

Till they shall grow familiar with its lines

And know him when they see his face in heaven.

LEWIS PINTARD BAYARD, the subject of this memoir, was born on the twenty-third day of July, 1791, at the residence of his great uncle ELIAS BOUDINOT, L. L. D., at Frankfort, near Philadelphia, Pa. His father was the Hon. Samuel Bayard, of Philadelphia, whose talents and virtues will long be remembered, not only in the world, in which he filled many official stations most ably and honorably, but also in that large and respectable Christian body of which he was a zealous, devoted, and efficient member.* His mother was the only daughter of Lewis Pintard, and cousin of the venerable John Pintard, L. L. D., of New York, whose long and devoted services to the Church have endeared him to the hearts of all who seek her welfare and pray for her peace.

*Judge Bayard was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, and the author of a volume of letters on "the Lord's Supper."
