Barthelemy Fontenelle was not only of noble, but illustrious descent, being the grandson of the great Fontenelle, the celebrated French Poet and Philosopher, author of the "plu-- lite des Mondes" and of other immortal works, which still maintain their high work in French litature. If his American grandson did not inherit his genius and ambition, it must be allowed that his impetuous courage in danger, his service equanimity in peace,; his moderation in prosperity and his fortitude in adversity were all reproduced in him and if they did not add to the lustre of great name, they at least maintained its dignity and supported its prestige. He was a planter by occupation and calm and eventful life of most planters affords little that would demand the services of biographer or excite the curiosity or interest of mankind, but the life of Barthelemy Fontenelle was a brilliant exception to an almost general rule, and was full of romanic incident and stricking adventure, and contained lessons of ardent patriotism, stern morality and heroic courage within the rising generation world do well to study and to imitate, for it---want be forgotten, that even a --- and exempt from military service---(parts missing)
All that is mortal of Barthelemy Fontenelle rest with us and will receive the heritage of the Christ reward of the just and of the pure.
