Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
_The Rev. Joshua Marsden_ (Vol. vii., p. 181.).--This gentleman was born at
Warrington in the year 1777. In the year 1800 he offered himself, and was
accepted by the Wesleyan Methodist Conference, as a missionary to British
North America, where he laboured for several years. He removed thence to
Bermuda. In 1814 he returned to England with a constitution greatly
impaired, but continued to occupy regular stations under the direction of
the Conference until 1836, when, worn out by affliction, he became a
supernumerary, and resided in London, where he occasionally preached as his
health permitted. He died August 11, 1837, aged sixty.
