Excerpt from A Memorial of Francis L. Hawks, D.D., LL. D Induced by an occasion which combines in the happiest manner an act of private friendship with a munificent deed Of public utility, in the gift of Mr. Niblo to this Society Of the historical library of his frieiid, the late Rev. Dr. Francis L. Hawks, we have met here this evening again to pay our tribute of respect to the memory of that departed friend and associate - a man Of great worth and eminence, person ally endeared to many thousands in this city, deservedly of high esteem by his brethren in his sacred profession, an ornament to the literature of his country. Any words which I, at least, may utter, must prove inadequate to the demands of such an occasion. How can we, indeed, recall on the instant the many claims to our regard which have filled the earnest and useful days of a long, beneficent life time? It is at best but to offer a brick as a specimen of the admired edifice. I fear to attempt the task set before me, of presenting even an outline of such a career, lest, by my few scant and imperfect words, I may seem to limit the impression of that excellence which now exists in our minds - something vast and undefined. Yet all efi'orts of this kind must be subject to some such limitation and we too, this evening, while we follow the hallowed example of cen turies, and bring our Offerings of eulogy and remembrance - the lilies with plenteous hand and the shining wreaths of immortality - must feel, with the pathetic poet of Italy though with higher consolations, that we are but perform ing an unavailing duty.
