Mr. Eddy

was, from the establishment of the Ame-

death will be lamented by his friends in that coun-
try, as well as in this, as a public loss.

years, and full of honours, rested from his labours,
that his works might follow him, the Christian,

The name of Thomas Eddy

revered by the coloured population of our country,
and their descendants, to the latest generations.

spent. As a governor of the New York Hospital, he
was eminently useful, and by his firmness of character,
