This excellent and zealous officer sailed from King George's Sound, on the 10th of April, 1831, and arrived off Cape Jervis on the 13th. He was attended by Doctor Davies, one of the assistant surgeons of his regiment, and by Mr. Kent, of the Commissariat.
'And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Numbers xxv, 10, 11. "Brutality.
Richard de Bury, the enthusiast of learning, wrote thus: "The library, therefore, of wisdom is more precious than all riches, and nothing that can be wished for is worthy to be compared with it.
