names that are copied into the page of history, and are illustrious in the annals of Europe; or when stopping at the grave of Cuvier, to pay a tribute of deserved respect to that great man, may know nothing, and therefore care nothing about his sainted daughter; but when those marbies shall burst open at the blast which is to awaken the dead, then shall it be found that sincere and humble piety has a greater and more enduring excellence than fame, or rank, or wealth. Then shall Clementine come forth to glory, honour, and immortality, while they who sought distinction only in the field of battle, the school of learning, the hall of science, or the arena of politics, shall be swept away, and all that they have done, with the refuse of the nations that know not God.

Remember Clementine Cuvier, and remember also it was divine grace that made her what she was. The same grace, rich,

free, and undiminished, remains to make you like her, if you desire the resemblance. Be this your prayer, presented in sincerity, in faith, in fervour, and till it is answered:

my

God of all power and grace, for the sake of Jesus Christ, thy only Son our Saviour, enlighten my dark mind, renew hard heart, correct my worldly taste, and sanctify my unholy life by that Divine Spirit whose beautiful creation has been set before me in this memoir, that I may live as she lived, die as she died, and with her and all thy saints, inherit thy kingdom and glory for ever. AMEN."

REESE L

AN APPENDIX,

CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF THE

LAST HOURS AND PEACEFUL DEATH

OF

MISS MARTHA S

A SECOND edition of this little work having been called for soon after the publication of the first, it would have appeared long ago, had I not indulged a hope that I should have been able to procure some extension of the narrative, from its able and devoted author. In that hope I have been disappointed, with the exception of one beautiful fact, which occurred after the death of Clementine, which will be found at the close of her too short memoir, and which is not only honourable to the taste and tenderness of her illustrious father, but so far as it goes, is an indication of his approval of his daughter's religious character.

I deem myself fortunate in having met with a portrait of this lovely young Christian. It was originally engraved in France, from a picture taken by Sir Thomas Lawrence, and was copied some few years since into one of the

Annuals published in London, and accompanied by some verses written by Miss Jewsbury, afterwards Mrs. Fletcher; who, alas! since then has followed the subject of her spirited verses to the tomb.

I am sorry that the purchasers of the first edition should not be in possession of the portrait, but I am sure they would think me culpaple if I were to withhold it on this account from those who buy the second. All I can do is to regret that I had it not before. A similar remark must be made in reference to the Appendix, which contains the dying experience of Miss Ellen S-, and which I thought too interesting, and too much in harmony with the case of Clementine, to repress.

THIRD EDITION.

By a singular mistake I gave the name of Ellen to this deceased young lady, in the second edition: it should have been MARTHA. Ellen is the name of an elder sister, who I am happy to say is still living. When it is considered that I had not long known the family, the error will be easily accounted for.
