Excerpt from Life and Last Days of Robert Owen, of New Lanark Looking down into the earth, into which poor Robert Owen's coffin was thrust, the words of the poet were never so applicable 'they have made him a grave too cold and damp For a soul so warm and true.' Of all who ever breathed the breath of life, Robert Owen was the man of' largest heart, of head most wise, continually throughout the course of a long life, sedulously, zealously, thinkingly, with ever open purse in hand, generously, devotedly intent on devising how, best, and soonest, to miti gate the misery incidental to the destiny of man.
