GEORGETOWN NUNNERY.
Ecctract of a lelterfrom. lhe editor qf the JV. ‘Y.
Stiztcsman, dated Washington, Dec. 23,1823.
Having no reports to attend to on Saturday,
Iset apart that day for paying a visit to the
Ntiiinery at Georgetown, in company with
some of my friends ; and at 12 o’clock on a
bright and beautiful morning, we left the city,
inteiit on this novel excursion, the ladies hav-
ing directed the sad message to visitauts who
might call, that they had gone to theNunnery.
‘Vile rode to the Convent: but finding no
persbn there with whom any_of.the party are
acquainted, and admission within the conse-
crated walls being granted only by special,fa-
vor, after examining the exterior of the build-
ing, and the elegant little chapel connected
with it, we concluded to extend oitr ride to the
Catholic College on the heights of George-
town, and to revisit thcN_unnery on otir return.
At the college we were so fortunate as to find
the Rev. Mr. Fenwick, who is at the head of
the Institution, and to whose politeness and
attention we were indebted for the gratifica-
tion of ourcuriosity,and the subseqtient pleas-
ures of the day. He coiiducted_ us through
the spacious college bu'ilding,wliich is a liand-
some brick edifice about 100 feet long and 4
stories high, being divided into a great num-
ber of apartments, conveniently and even el-
egantly ftirnislied. The basement story is
principally devoted to recitation rooms. The
walls of the apartment into which we were in-
troduced were hung with paintings and en-
gravings, the most celebrated of which Mr.
Fenwick pointed out and_ explained. On the
mantle-piece I observed two busts, one of Mr.
Madison, and the other ofMr. Adams, Secre-
tary of State. _
The principal part of the second story is oc-
ctipied as a chapel, having all the furniture
andoriiaments ofa Catholic Clinrcli. A great
variety of fine paintings, some of which are
copiesfrom the ablest ‘inasters, surrounded
the altar a'n'dadorned the walls. Near the
chancel was suspended a lamp, dimly burn-
irig at noontlay‘, but keeping alive the sacred
flame. The chapel is‘ fu'rnished with a small
btit fine toned organ, tipoii “which Mr. Fen-
wick and the ladies. favored us with several
pieces of music, among which was the Christ-
mas hymn. ' The two upper stories of the
college are occupied as’ dorinitories, the beds
being furnished with curtains and a_rranged
sideby side, in an opeuhall, giving to the a-
partmentsotnewliat the appearance of a -tent-
ed field and a mili_tary encampment. There
were beds for about seventy, the present num-
ber ofstudents ; and tlie'dormit‘ories are suffi-
ciently spacious for the accoitiniotlatiou of
many more. Every article of ftirniture bore the
marks of perfect iieatness; and I have seldom
seen a literary institution more eligibly situat-
ed, or combining greater advantages.
On our‘ descent from the attic story, Mr.
Fenwick conducted its to the principal Libra-
‘ manner.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE.
ROGER Si«ii:miAN was born on the 19th of
April, 1721, at Newton in Massachusetts, the
residence of his father, a farmer in moderate
circumstances. Roger enjoyed no other ed-
iicatioii than the very limited one which the
coiiiuion cotintry-scliools ofNew England af-
forded at that period. In his early boyhood
he was apprenticed to a shoemaker, and he
followed the same trade for some time after
he was 21 years ofage. He received from na-
ture a vigorous and inquisitive mind, the eti-
ergies of which were not to be repressed even
by the drudgery of his mechanical labour.-
Books happened to be within his reach, such
as tended to enlarge and fortify the under-
standing, and with tliciu he contrived, like Dr.
Franklin, togratify his thirst for knowledge,
while he performed his work as an appren-
tice. Before he had reached his majority, he
became even a proficietit in geography, the
inatlieniatics, and the principles of moral sci-
ence. Politics and the law equally engaged
his attention, and in both he rose, as we shall
see in the sequel, to great eminence; the more
honorable as it was marked by superior use-
fulness and uniform public virtue. In no stage
ofliis long career did he ever display the least
desire to conceal the nature of his first calling
nor any pride in his transition to the iuostdig-
nified pursuits and stations. During the rev-

pointed judge of the [Court of Common Pleas
of the courity. In 1761, he removed from N.
Milford to New-Haven, a better sphere of ac-
tion, in wliich he quickly attained all that he
could desire. -The town of New-I-Iaveu elec-
ted him repeatedly to the Legislature. In.
.1765, he was appointed one of the judges of
the court of Common Pleas. He became treas-
urer ofthe College and received the honorary
degree of master of arts. _He had a large
share in the legislative proceedings pot only
as regarded tlie' concerns of Connecticut, but
thoseofthe Colonies in general. . .
sagacious sense, his comprehensive inlornia-
tion, his close reasoning eiiforcetl by a plaiii,
manly delivery, and his decision on principal
questions, acquired for him an almost unrival-
led authority in the Connecticut councils. In
1766, he was raised to the office of judge of
the Superior Court, a station which he retai-
ned 28 years, and filled with an ability and
rectitutie which all acknowledged throughout
that long space of time. As a legislator and
a citizen, be exerted himself perseveriiigly in
favor of the claims of Connecticut to certain
lands which are now included within the litu-
its of Pennsylvania, and which, as the former
colony pretended, were covered by her origin-
al cliarter. One of the most cogent and pop-
ular essays oii the stibject, which appeared in
the course of this famous controversy, was
written and signed by Mr. Sherman.
VVhen the far greater and uiore comprehen-
sive dispute began between the inotlier-coun-
try and the colonies, Sherman employed with
the utmost boldness all the influence of his
moral and political character in favor ofA-
uicrican rights and privileges. He looked at
once to the Union and Independence ofthe
colonies, and urged the strongest measures.
In August 1774, the Connecticut Committee
of Correspondence nominated him, in con-
junction with JosephTruinhull, Eliphalet Dy-
er and Silas Deane, as a delegate to attend
the general Congress of the Colonies. He
was present as such, at the opening of tire first
Congress, and proved a valuable member in
every respect. There were few in that illus-
trious assembly whose judgment was more
respected or whose opinions had more weight.
A strong reason ; a firm will ; a steadfast, in-
trepid patriotistn; a simple but nervous elocu-
tioti ; a venemble appearance under the plain-
est garb; the‘ credit of primitive virtue ;~efli-
cieiit readiness and umvearied assitluity in
the business of Committees—;tll combined to
render him one of the real leaders ofthe Rev-
olution ; to inspire universal confidence, atid
involve him in the most arduous pnrlianieuta-
r_v labors. He re-appeared in 1775 as one of
the delegates of Connecticut, toiled incessant-
ly in committees during 1776, and especially
served on that which prepared and reported
the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Jef-
ferson, in a letter relating to him, observes-
“I served with him in the old Cotigress in
the years 1775 and 1776. He was a very able
and logical deliater in that body ; steady in
the principles of the Revolution; always at
the post of duty ; much employed in the hu-
siness of Committees, atid particularly was of
the Committee of Doctor Franklin, Mr. J.
Adams and inyse|f_for preparing the Declara-
tion of Independence.” He was also succes-
sively a member of the board of ‘Var andOrd-
nance, ofthe Treasury-board and of the Ma-
rine Committee. During the whole revolu-
tionary struggle, he manifested a dauutless
spirit as well as an indefatigable zeal.
In 1784, when New-Haven was incorporat-
ed, he was elected to the office of Mayor of
the city, which he held for the remainder of
his life. About the same period, he was as-
sociated with another ofthe judges ofthe Su-
perior Court, in the task of revising and di-
gesting the statutes of Connecticut, so as to
produce an improved code for the State. This
oppressive service was lverforined with his its-
ual couscientiousucss and success. In 1787,
he was appointed it delegate to the General
Convention to frame the Fcder2ilConstitutioii
ofthe United States. One of his colleagues
was the celebrated Oliver Ellsworth,who held
the office ofassociate judge of the satiie court,
and who, as he himself declared, hail made
Mr. Sherman his model in his youth. The
venerable President Adams nientions that
“ he never saw two men more alike, except
that the late ChiefJustice Ellsworth had the
advantage of a liberal education and some-
what more extensive reading.” Both were
conspicuous in theConvention for the earnest-
ness and usefulness of their co-operation in
the glorious work of that body. Sherman
wrote a series of essays, under the signature
of “ A Citizen,” in favor ofthe Constitution,
which are aflirmed to have materially contri-
buted‘ to procure that full majority by which
it was ratified in Connecticut. When it went
into operation, he was elected a representa-

stone ; as I observed the few small windows I
closely curtaiued, to shut out the glare of the
world, and almost the light of heaven ; as 1
cast my eye towards the little chapel, with a
cross over each door, and the solemn inscrip-
tion on a white marble slab—-“voveie ct redrlite
Domino, Deo"veslro”—niy feelings were irre-
sistibly tinged with utelanclioly, and naturally
suggested the pathetic lines ofthe poet :-

The chapel is a fine building, highly finish-
ed and ornamented with a variety of paint-
ings. Near the entrance and immediately
over the holy water’, is a splendid print, pre.
sented to the Sisters of the Visitation by M.
Hyde dc Neuvillc. On the rightof the altar,
is a wooden grate comniuniciitiug with the
Ntinnery, to which the sisterhood approaclied
for the purpose ofuniting in public devotion.

Before this event, by private application to
aw books and inquiry into rules of practice,
he had rendered himself no mean counsellor
for his neighbors, and acquired no small rep-
utation for legal learning8L capacity. After his
elevation to the bench, he often recurred with
pleasure to the moment when he appeared for
the first time in the presence ofa regular law-
yer. An acquaintance happening to require
the assistance ofone, Mr. Sherman, who was
going to the county town, was commissioned
to seek out the best, Before he left home, he
digested the case in writing, and as he stated
«it to the gentleman whom be consulted, he
frequently resorted to his manuscript ; which
was at length demanded from curiosity. The
lawyer, after reading it, remarked, with an air
of surprise,tliat with a few alteratiousin foriu,
it would‘ be equal to any petition which he
could himself prepare; and when he had ask-
ed some questions concerning his situation
and views in lil'e,advised him toadopt the pro-

At the expiration of his first term, he was
translated to the Senate. among whom he was
never found bacltward,either in debate or com-
mittee-service, touching the various important
subjects which then catne under discussion.-
Providence, however, allowed him but two
years more of a race thus signalized, in pub-
lie and private, by dispositions and endeavors
which were well adapted to pro_pitiate Divine
favor for another life. He died at New-Ha-
ven, on the 3d ofJuly,l793, aged seventy-two.
He had been from his youth it devout Chris-
tian, and a constant reader ofthe Scriptures.
He iiiaiutained a correspondence, at different
times, on abstruse poitits in theology and met-
aphysics, with some of the most erudite and
eminent among the NewEngland clergynien.
In person, Roger Shertiian was tall; his
form was erect and well-proportioned ; his
complexion fair, and his countenance tnauly
and agreeable. Though reserved and taci-
turn in social intercourse, he could not be tax-
ed with austerity; nor with want of liberality,
tho’ frugal and abstetiiious. On all occasions
his cliiefobjects appeared to be the welfare of
