Excerpt from A Discourse in Commemoration of the Life and Character of the Hon.: Nicholas Brown, Delivered in the Chapel of Brown University, November 3, 1841

An aged and much honored fellow-citizen has lately ceased from among us. His manly and venerable form will no more meet us at his hospitable fire-side, in the mart of business, or in the house of God. We have followed his remains to the house appointed for all the living, and have seen them, with every token of private affection and public respect, consigned to their last resting-place. The various institutions, with the management of which he had been so long identified, have borne testimony to his worth. The young and the old have delighted to do homage to his virtues. Every one of us feels that this community has sustained an irreparable loss; and that "a prince and a great man has fallen in Israel."

It is meet, that at the grave of such a man we should pause, and devote a few moments to earnest meditation.
