No work, we think, could possibly be more acceptable than a faithful portraiture of this extraordinary man, the events of Whose varied lice cannot but prove an impressive lesson to every reader. The man of genius will see, that he must not rely upon ge nius alone, and the man who is conscious of me diocrity, will be taught' that he must keep a strict watch ovet his conduct, when he see; that even the most brilliant talents cannot avail to producer usefulness or happiness, without virtue and pru dence.
