However, as lie has perfectly the appearance and manners of a Gentleman. anal even, every stow and then (when it so likes him), something of the air of the courtier about him— there is an impression quite the reverse of vulgarity produced by the mode of his speaking : and, in this respect, be is certainly quite in a different si tuation from some his younger brethren, who have nut the excuse of age for the breadth of their utterance, nor, whet is of greater importance still, the same truly antique style in its breadth. Of this. indeed, I could not pretend to he a judge ; but some of my friends assured me that nothing could be more marked than the difference between the Scotch of one who learned it sixty yeas. ago, and that of the yoatiger generatiou. These last, they observed, have had few opportunities of keying Scotch spoken, but among servants, &c. so that there dings to all their own expressiaus, wheat they make use of the neglected dialect, a rids llavvur of the hall or the stable. Now. Mr. Clerk, who as a man of excellent family and fashion, spent all his early years among Ladies. and Gentlemen. who spoke nothing whatever but Scotch ; and even I could observe (or So, at least, L persuaded supselP, that his language had a certain cast of elegance even in its utmost breadth. Hut the truth is. that the matter of his oritious as far too good to allow of moth intention being made to Its 11181111ef ; and after • little time I scarcely remarked that he was speaking a dialect different from my own. except ing when, screwing his features into their utmost bitterness. or else relaxing theist into their broadest glee. he launched forth rouse mysterious veriricis !orlon of wteth or merrimeut, to the tenfold cots rosin's ur tenfold delight of those fur whose use it was intended. " I had almost forgot to mention that this old barrister, who at Ilse bar has so much the air of having never thought of any thing but his prides sins., is, its fact, quite the . reserse of a mere lawyer. Like old Voet, 1 , 1110 used to be so much laughed at by the Leyden Juristemsnits for hi. frequenting the Towis-hall its that city (where there is, it seems, a verysurious collection of paintings), Mr. Clerk is • great cOmmisseur iis pictures, and devotes to them • veil considerable !portion of Isis time.
