Excerpt from Extracts From the Letters and Other Writings of the Late Joseph Gurney Bevan: Preceded by a Short Memoir of His Life

A love of poetry contributed to impress on the retentive memory of the subject of these remarks, expressions and sentiments learned from these writers: some of which, being of a licentious kind, he would in his maturer years gladly have forgotten. Nevertheless, he recom mended a knowledge of the Greek and Roman languages, under due restriction; and from a desire to read the New Testament in the' original, he applied diligently, when fifty years of age, to the study of Greek, and was amply rewarded by the pleasure which the success of his application afforded him.
