The Memoir of William Bramwell takes rank with our most popular and most useful biographies. This is not because of any artistic skill in the authorship of the work, for in this respect it is inferior to many works of this class; but it is because of the beauty of holiness which in a remarkable degree shines forth in the cha racter of that most excellent minister of Jesus Christ. His purity of intention, his laborious zeal, his seraphic devotion, justify us in presenting him as a model, espe cially to those who have been, like him, separated to the gospel of God.
