A SKETCH of his life and times,
WITH A POPULAR EXPOSITION
OF HIS WORKS

BY

GEORGE WORLEY

Dioces. Roffen. Lector

"Such delights

As float to earth, permitted visitants!
When in some hour of solemn jubilee

The massive gates of Paradise are thrown

Wide open and forth come in fragments wild
Sweet echoes of unearthly melodies,
And odours snatched from beds of Amaranth,
And they that from the crystal river of life
Spring up on freshened wing, ambrosial gales."
-S. T. COLERIDGE,
