. . . Died in that city on the 27th Ult. He was a man of considerable prominence. He was ambitious, and a man of Energy; but he
was fickle, eccentric, inconsistent of purpose, and hence he achieved but
little success in anything he undertook.
He tired law, politics, literature, speculation, mining, &c., but
failed in them all, though he had capacity enough to win success in either, if
his energies had been properly directed.
He had many amiable qualities, and leaves a wide circle of friends.
