Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. Thomas Spencer, of Liverpool Watch. He himself observes, in a hasty sketch of his life, which now lies before me, As far back as I can recollect, my memory was complimented by many as being very reten tive, and my progress in knowledge was more considerable than that Of my school-fellows; a natural curiosity and desire Of knowledge, I think I may say, without vanity, distinguished even the period Of my infancy. I now remem ber questions that I asked when about four years Old, which were rather singular, and which were Confined chiefly to biblical sub jects. No child could be more attached to places of worship, or could be more inquisi tive about their concerns than myself; and I may add, more given to imitate the actions of.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Ministry of the Late Rev. Thomas Spencer, Vol. 5: Of Liverpool; With an Appendix, Containing a Selection From His Papers, &C The volume now presented to the public, owes its origin to one of those mysterious events in Providence, which seem commissioned, at distant intervals, to alarm and admonish the Church of God. A loss so sudden, so awful, so universally deplored, as that of Mr. Spencer, demanded improvement. Many impressive discourses were delivered on the sad occasion, several of which have issued from the press. But his life was not less instructive than his death; and the more it was contemplated by his friends, the more deeply they felt the importance of rescuing from oblivion those traits of his character, and circumstances of his history, by which their own private circles had been interested. Upon my acceptance of the solemn office from which he was so unexpectedly removed, his bereaved people, anxious to see some authorized memoirs of their beloved pastor embodied and preserved, committed the mournful duty to my hands. My respect for the honored dead, and attachment to the living, induced me to accept the charge: how I have executed the important trust reposed in me, I must now leave it with a candid public to decide. Various causes have contributed to create the delay which has attended the publication of the book. It was with considerable difficulty that I collected the materials necessary for my purpose. I had imagined, from the general impression which prevailed, at least amongst Mr. Spencer's friends, of the propriety of such a publication, that information would have been spontaneously offered from every quarter whence it might be furnished. But in this I was disappointed; and it was some considerable time from the annunciation of my design, before I was sufficiently supplied to commence, with any degree of prudence, the composition of the volume. In addition to this, the laborious duties of a new and most extensive charge, conspired often to suspend the prosecution of the work, for the appearance of which I knew many to be anxious, but none more so than myself.
