A little after 8 we all got on board, and bade farewell to our friends, who accompanied us to the ship. This packet ship is called the Napoleon.

May God bless the English Nation and make them a peculiar people! During my stay in England I have visited the following places, viz: — Liverpool, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Chester, Manchester, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Hull, York, Stockton, Bradford, Sheffield, High Wycombe, Brighton, Lewes, Rochester, Reading, Windsor, Oxford, Lynn, Bury St. Edmond, Woolwich, Greenwich, Deptford, Lambeth, Norwood, Limehouse, Millhill, Pinner, Tottenham, &c, &c. I have addressed congregations
