Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of William Hayley, Esq., The Friend and Biographer of Cowper, Written by Himself, Vol. 2 of 2: With Extracts From His Private Correspondence and Unpublished Poetry, and Memoirs of His Son Thomas Alphonso Hayley, the Young Sculptor So many particulars of the Poet's life are minutely recorded in his biographical tribute to the memory of his son; his own feelings and sentiments are so copiously displayed in the series of letters, which he inserted in his affectionate memorial, that the present history will hasten to the period, when it pleased Heaven to deprive a tender father of that singularly, interest ing child, whose education and welfare had been the primary objects of his incessant attention.
