Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Reginald Heber, D.D., Lord Bishop of Calcutta, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Correspondence, Unpublished Poems, and Private Papers Reginald, the lamented subject of this memoir, was born April lt, 1783, at M'alpas, in the county of Chester, of which his father was for many years co-rector. His early childhood was distinguished by mildness ofdisposi'tion, obedience to his pa rents, consideration for the feelings of those around him, and by that trust in God's providence which formed, through life, so prominent a part of his character. When little more than two years old, he was dangerously ill with the whooping-cough, for which he was ordered to be blooded: his mother took him on her knees, saying, Dr. Currie wishes you to lose a little blood; I hope you will not object his answer was, I will do whatever you please, mamma. On the nurse screaming out that they were going to murder her child, Poor Reginald said, let her go down stairs. The apothecary then took hold of his arm, on which he exclaimed, Do not hold me when as sured that if he moved, he would be much more hurt, I won't stir, he replied, and steadily held out his arm, looking the whole time at the operation.
