3!--n4ing, nor the experience of constant failure. weresalicient.to,prerent him • from wasting his strength in an idle endeavour to pas's the magic circle which law and custom had drawn around him. Hence all his exertions wanted both dignity and effect; and his extraordinary talents werepro ductive of little true glory to himself, and scarce ly of any benefit to the world. fi r ..tooke was born with an iron constitution of body and mind; tie was endowed with . Fem . - vering industry, armed with ,unshakeh courage, and stunuiated by a restless ambition. ,These qua- lities should carry their possessor very far in a free coniitry.—Bn t the barrier, was insurmounta ble. Gifted With the talents of a great performer, he was'compelled throughout to play inferior parts. As a politician he was always below himself ;: al ways acting in subordination to .his equals, or on a Ifvel with those whom nature and education had placed' at an immeasurable distance beneath him. He began his career.t4 an assistant in a. struggle, from which the mock patriot Wilkes derived all the glory, and all the adva9tage 7 ; and he ehded it.by dividing the credit, Of turbulent, unsuccessful . , and unpopular resistance to sound principles and law fui authority with MeArs, Hardy and Thelwall. • He codld'not.be a lawyer, therefore he resisted the law, and reviled those who administered it. He could not be a statesnm, nay, not, even a devna- gogue, and therefore hemag content to become a factious partizan; a- low.lagitatcr, to insult those whom he epuld not rival, and to: disturb . a cone try- in the t),xverintient of which he never could have a share. Disappointment and envy had taken possession of his whole soul, soured his :temper, narrowed his viekvs, and perverted his jtDigment, it was' his habit to speak evil of "dignities,'. to assail by ridinde or invective all-those persons and • things, which, by the common feeling of the rest of the world, were marked out as objects of.reve? :rence and admiration. He professed, indeed, to , al mire the constit u tion of his country ; but it was the constitution 25 it was said to exist at some re mote and never-defined period, not. the .constitu tion such as it now is, under which, accordinglo him, every species of corruption and injustice had grown up and nourished ; and he delighted to carp at that beneficent system 'of law, to 'which, of all men, living, he, was the most deeply indebted.- 7 - The mild spirit and lenient administration of Eng lish- justiee, were never more clearly exemplified than in the impunity of a man who was constantly treading upon the very verge of crimes that aimed at nothing less than the entire ruin of the state, and WhoSe delightit was to insult the best feel ings of the country at a time of universal danger, and irritation. The same temper of mind rendered him unjust to almost every species of ex cellence in his contemporaries.—Aniong the oh, jects of his .particular and personal antipathy, are to he numbered nearly all the great men of his age and countcy. He hated. Dr. Johnson,. he hated Mr. Burke, he hated Lord Mans he hated Mr. .k'itt, he hated Mr. Vox, and he spoke of them with outany of that respect or forbearance which great talents and hi(rh station., and . the esteem of tite , gre4 test part of the world generally extort from less resolute, - or less acrimonious adversaries.
