He possessed, 'however,: a strong mind, and,• amidst all his pursuits of plea sure, was not inattentive to the callS.of interest or ambition. He was well' acquahited whh human nature from natural sagacity and attentive observa tion, and it was evidently a maxim with him, that if people appear to have a good opinion of themselves they;will induce the world to entertain alle.saine senti ments. With this persuasion .he conceived that he could smooth the roadof life by an intrepid'spirit ther than conciliating manners. Hence he adopted a roughness Of' manner . that induced - people with whom he associated to give way, rather than ,con tend with his boisterous ,spirit.
