Coffin in his "History of New- bury," says: "Dr. Toppan was a man of tal- ents, energy, and decision of character, and 'would speak his mind.' A specimen of this latter trait may be seen on page 213. Other instances might be given, but I shall mention only one. A Mr. - - and his wife once pre- sented a child for baptism. Not having con-
fidence in the man's sincerity, he addressed the congregation in these words, while per- forming the rite, 'I baptize this child wholly on the woman's account.' "
