In perusing Collier's life and works in the silence Of the passions that convulsed the age in which he lived, we are forcibly impressed with a conviction Of his Sincere piety and philanthropy. He seems steadily, conscientiously, and right practically to have promoted what he conceived to be the cause of God and man. By noble means, he strove to com pass noble ends and if he sometimes was betrayed into errors Of judgment, we may safely assert in his favour, that even his frailties leaned to virtue's side.
