Died

After a short illness at Murfreesborough on the 2d instant in the 27th year of 
his age, Mr. William Hill Brown, formerly of Boston but lately of this town 
where he was pursuing the study of the law. In this gentleman were united 
every virtue and qualification which an uncommon genuine and infatigable 
application to study had rendered into general usefullness. But that 
accomplishment, which of all others shone conspicuously in him, and was his 
most proper and peculiar characteristic, was the richness of fancy and 
copiousness of expression, which upon all occasions made him serviceable, not 
only in a social but civil capacity. In his writings, he was concise but 
comprehensive, sublime and elegant, a little satyrical at times, yet always 
pleasing and entertaining. In conversation, he was affable and polite, witty 
and winning. It will be useless to illustrate his piety, the conduct of his 
life in general and his sickness in particular, has given sufficient testimony 
thereof. His loss is great both to his friends and country.
