As he approached his twentieth year he entered the Glasgow University, and on completing his course he was appointed tutor to a gentleman's sons in Scotland, and afterwards usher in a school at Hinckley, Leicestershire. There he was converted. In 1827 he entered Rotherham College. His first charge was at Lofthouse, in the North Riding of York. After this he preached twelve years at Houden, ten years at Bamford, a few years at Manchester, and then, resigning active ministerial labor, he lived a short time at Liverpool, next at Leamington, and finally removed to Cubbington, where he died, September 28, 1873.
