JOHN lIOANE TOOKE, . For the followiti'g, smaeterly delineation of the charactercondutt, and 141bours, intellectual Aild political, of this. man, which is founded upon a lite of him, lately published, but of which only a pass ing. notice is taken, we.are indebteci'to - The Quar terly Review, - [Concluded from our Paw of Yesterday.] Mi. Tooke Was possessed of considerable learn ing, as indeed his writings sufficiently shenvn - To other moral casual acquirements, he acquired a very extensive acqitaintance:with: the GOthic diaiects, of- which he has so . ! copiously and so judiciously availed himself in hi§ - et v iirolo g leal researches ; and it seems probable that the leading ideas of his.phi losophical work first 'presented themselves to his mind whilst he was pursuing this comparatively ,unfrequented track of literature. lie :was ex tremely well versed in thelaw, a* science which, both in theory and practice, was -particularly con-. - genial to his mind, and which he had once studied with prolessional accuracy 'in the, hope of being called to the bar. We are. unable to state with precision what was the anioant of his attainments in classical learning, but we apprehend he by no means possessed that accurate acpnaintance• with 'the literature-of ancient Greece and Rome which is necessary to cthistitute a' great scholar., in the ordinary acceptation of the term; , . lie was faini.lar with 'tut our best writers, most so with-those of an early date. Isis knowledge of modern languages was considerable, and he was particidarly well read in Ital an authors. On the Whole; exclusively of philoioPhy and politics,: he tvoul,l have passed for it very accomplished 'man.; One of the taxes Which 'hien payJorJheing eminent is to-have their private as well as: their, ptiblie conduct made the'sublect of criticism-; we shall therefore offer no apology for adding a fens such remarks as our information enables -us to supply upon that of Mr.. Tooke. In'the-essea tial particulars of truth;., honour, 'and justice, in all that ilia popular sense, forms the morality of a gentleman, he stood we believe,' uniinptachadlo; at least no:-c - harge against hini for - the violation of it was ever substantiated, alibiing'', be lived for ball a century : exposed to .the public, eye, and he set by the vigilant hostility of itetive .andpOwer ,' ful vnemies. His great -fault,- as a private man, was alillertinisrn s in.hishaliits and discoursetehi€h in WLiab3e his nharacter, his* professiOn, and lat terly, hiS asre. It may. seem an uncharitable auS .) b • • ut we,are really afraid - that the tendency of which we complain, was rather increased than checked by the profession to which, howeveram wilngly, he belimged: lie had ag6rts of spite at all its restraints.. Many of thein he c 641 never throw off ; . .bat he was an*iians to : shety that in li centiousness at least.he could he a layman.. In the ordinary intercourse of life he was kind, friendly, and hospitable. We doubt whether his temper was naturally good ; but if it was not, he had a merit the mote ; for he had - so cora . pletely 'subdued it by care and Self controul as never 'to betrap under any provocation, the slightest mark of that irritability which often ac- 7 coinpanes - taierni, and which gains so rapidly up on those who know,not .hots to guard against its apin oaches. Indeed the aspect under which he appeared ii private was by no means such as the stern cynicism . and ferocious, turbulenCe of his public conduct Wou/d have led one to expect; and those, whose opinion of him has been formed ex chisively upon his political character and his writ ings, will have some di/lc-Idly in believing that the curate of Brentford was one of the best bred Eentleinen of. the age. In this.respect,be was a sort of Phenomenon: Ile was born in a low sta . ton ; -at no period did he appear to have possessed any remarkable advantages by the study of good breeding ; on the contrary, the greater, part aids life was spent in constant intercourse with coarse,. vulgar, and uneducated men. Yet his natural taste was so good, and he had profited so judi ciously by whatever opportimies be enjoyed, that Corms and 113 ,, h stations have seldoM produced a better example -. of polite and elegant behaviour than wTas 'exhibited by the asociate of Messrs. klars'eyhaA'Thewall. Indeed his manner had al- Aiost every excellence that manner . can display, grace, frankness, and dignity. • Perhaps, indeed, in its outward forins, 'and in that which is purely con'i,entional, 'his courtesy wore the air of the cola,' and was rather more elaborate than is consistent with the practice of this loung ing uncereinbnions age : but it was never forced or constrained, and it 'sat not ungracefully upon an old man. It has been remarked -of some very eminent Men, that, eiller from bashfulnes, or pride, or indiffe rence,' or I.‘%itit. cif a readyc . .zumand of their'faeult ties, their coaversatiOn frequentlirdisapPointed the expectations which their charaCters had raiedi--- Mr. Tooke was not one - of- that clats. He never anpeered to great& advantage than in conversation. He-was naturally of a -social and convivial turn. His animal spirits were strong, the promptitude of his understanding was equal to its'vi ours and he •tvas by no nacan4 too proud to receive Z;'itll,satisfac tion . the too small, bet binned - tate reward. of rip, probation and good will, Which 'is always cheer filly paid to the display of agreeable qualities in s miety. . Au attenti t - c, and mute observation of the world, had furnished him with a N-Is.t store of information and remark, whirh he was all'vs ready to commu, nicate, but never ziesired to obtrude upon his hearers. The everts of his political life had, brought him into' personal intercourse with many - of the most considerable men of his thn'e, and he Wtis minute ly acquainted with the history of them all. It is true, indeed, as we have already had occasion to observe, that few of the nutnber had the goad for-: tune to'il'e the objects - cif his'. regard or' approba tion ; and as candour wtl 7 ; not a virtue he much affected, it was .therefore'llecessary to receive his account of their actions . t..!(1 . -character with all _lnaginable caution, and allt . .‘vance. But if he vas not a faithful portrait pal,ater, he was at least an admirable caricaturist ; for the pur poses of mere entertainment,:, did quite 39 well; and it Inuit be owned, that his, representations, • though harsh and untavourahlr, alwaiis • bore a striking and amusing resemblance , to the arigi- LONDON Printed bY THOMAS WOOD, of N 0.35, Maideu-lane, Covent-garden; •n I Published by WILLIAM AIi.MIGI 4 T -SCRIPPS 'South Molto oi7 r2Cll.t--ttLY 50 :'.~Pti.. 1'~.....a~~ TD 1-'1; ...;- - :','l' 5: l'lrril , v... , i. 1 - B ,:rie:!. }:224 1 ' Vl'4'; • - 919. i le e:., - ....L13 Tta 4 f 4-'1 1:;•.; dieti z i Two, old, PE: . . 11: Z;) and. £0 f 2 GO '7O •• • • t:1 80 ....

Viewed alote, they would have convdyerl a very erroneous idea ; but they were by no . means without their use in correcting theird-. pressions which had been made by more friendly,. but equally unfaithful, artists. He possessed.un inexhaustible fund of anecdotes, which he intro duced with great skill, and related 'With neatness, grace, rapidity, .and pleasantry. He had a Ora sense of the ridiculous, and, was a great master of the whole art of raillery, a dangerous talent, ,though the exercise of it in his hands was alnlays tempered by politeness and -good humour, No man, we .believe, ever provoked hint by hostike attack; without, having . i'eason to repent of his rashness.

But these severe chastisements were but rarely in flicted, never, be believe, 6ccept-when 'provoked by some signal instance )of folly or impertinence opponent:in his fault as a cotnpanion was that lOve of para .. dox 'Which we have dready mentioned, and a ten dency to disputation which led him continually to argue for the 'Sake - of victory, and in evident con-:. tradict ion to his own real opinion--a practice quite insufierab!e when adopted, as it often is, by per sons of ordinary . nnc.!erstanding, a tilci wao only ter themselves that. 'they possess the acuteness with 'tvhieli Mr. Tooke was really endowed, and to which We must oWn, that even his liVeliness, native ingenuity, and felicity of iliustratioti, could never wholly reconcile us. • , . He possessed a rich vein of humour, some-- times :coarse, -but always st:ilting,• comical, or original. His speeches afforded some good spe cimens of Tit to _the ; public, and, he; indulged, in it .still more•. freely in p;ivate.. Perhaps, in deed, •it may he .fairW objected to hitu , that hiS conversation was hardly ever quite serious; _and that what -with paradox',. and what with irony, it was nyt easy to get at his true meaning. The truth seems 'to be, that he coaiforted himseLf for not having a larger share in the business of the world, 'by.laughing at every body and every thing it contained. His sceptical disposition pro bably_ kept his mind' unsettled upon many impor tant facts as to which the generality of men en tertain-more fixed opinions, and he was therefore ready to .esponseeither-side with equal zeal and equal insincerity, just as_ .accident or caprice in clined him at the moment. There were - othexsub•- jects on Which he was accustomed to speak more positively,- bat' on which we are apt to suspect that his esoteric doctrines were very different from those which he taught to aldermen, shoemakers, and other patriotic persons. On such occasions, he could riot have been in earnest. He must have seen-through the designs of those with whom he was acting--Ire Must have loathed their vulgarity 7 --he mist have despised their folly. We are aware how_sesere a ceifsure.upon his honesty this opi nion implies, but we really think that a fair esti mate:of the strength of his understanding can lead to no other conclUsion. "He was endowed ,with every' species of courage, active and pasSive, personal and political. • Even his adversaries allowed him this merit. We recol lect, that in the year: 1794, at" the time of the State Trials when it was falsely reported, that upon being committed to - the Tower his spirit had failed; and .he burst into tears, Wilkes eN:pressed'a great surprise, and said, knew he was a knave, but 1 never thought him a coward.' It is only to be regretted, that he fOund no better - opportunities for the display of so valuable a - quality, than in election riots, and trials for - sedition and trea.;. ton. - In spite. of labour 'and dissipation, his life was protracted to a p oil which indicated an origi'- nally sound and vigorous' frame. For the last 20 years, however, he was' subject to several se.vete, diStressing, and incurable infirmities. These he borewith ana .patience and firnest which it was im possible not to admire ; to the very last he never suffered himself to be beat down by them, nor ever for one moment . indulged in comp,aint, nor gave way to despondency. in theintervals of pain,mly, even when actually suffering under it, he preserved • a self-command, which enabled him to converse, not only with spirit and vigour, .but with all his accustomed cheerfulness and .pleasantry, never making any: demand upon the sympathy. of his friends, • pr . mentioning his own situation at except when,occasionally, and by a very pardona ble exercise of his sophistry, he amused himself in .exalting its comforts, and explaining away itsdis.. advantaixes—displaying in this respect a manly spi rit anil a practicalphilosophy which, if they bad been brought to h-ear upon his moral, as well as upon his physical • Condition, if they had been enipio,ed i.viti:asmnch effect in reconciling bim to his political exchision as to .his. bodily sufferings, . might have produced, not the very imperfeCt ebb.- tacter we bare been .attempting - J0 delineate, in . which the unfavourable traits bear so large a pro portion to 'ihose of a nobler and - inorebemgn cast, but the venerable portrait of a truly wise and vir tuous man.
