Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art: January to April, 1846 At the close of 1783, Mr. Hall received an invitation to become assistant pastor with Dr. Caleb Evans, at Broadmead, Bris tol. It was agreed, however, that he should return to his studies in Scotland during the college session of 1784-55. On settling at Bristol, his preaching elevated him to the height of popularity, being the evident product of a mind of extraordinary vigor and cultivation; yet was it deficient in evan gelical richness - a circumstance which none afterwards so deeply deplored as him self. In August, 1785, he was appointed classi cal tutor is the Bristol Academy, a situa tion which he held with great reputation for more than five years. A painful mis understanding with Dr. Evans, and some differences of sentiment with the Church, at length facilitated his removal to another sphere of labor. He was invited to sue ceed Robert Robinson at Cambridge, and went thither in July, 1791. From that period, we are informed by one of his hearers, the congregation gradually ia creased, till in a few years the enlargement of the place of worship became necessary. Members of the University frequently, and in considerable numbers, attended in the afternoons on his preaching. Several senators, as well as clergymen of the Estab lished Church, received their first lessons in eloquence from his lips.
