His mind was a treasure to the community, a well filled store-house to which they could at any time resort. He w^as a scholar through life. Unlike many however whose lives are in a considerable measure spent with books, this did not beget in him that speculative habit of mind divorced from practical experience which is continu- ally exhausting itself in wild theories and visionary pro- jects. This fact I cannot forbear to mention as a vindi- cation of true scholarship from the disrepute into wh...ich these visionary dreamers are continually bringing it. You know, my hearers, at least those of you who have attained a life of mature years, by a happy experience in the case of him whose death we all lament, that one who is a close student may be none the less fitted, by reason of his books or his hours of studious reflection, for all the ordinary of- fices and pursuits of life.
But not only was Mr. Hall a man of acknowledged in- telligence, he was likewise a person of upright character. Nor was he one of those who claim and sometimes receive the praise due to uprightness of character, but whose up- rightness is simply that cautious policy or studious selfish- ness which carefully avoids overstepping the limits of ac- 11 knowledged rights and obligations, wliile it is "willing to take advantage of ignorance or misconception to further its own objects.
