Alas ! it is too true : I can no longer hide
the melancholy fact even from myself : I
am. indeed,an old bachelor. Yt t let not the \
confession deprive me of a single reader;
for my fate is not a voluntary one ; it it t
were, l should lo<k for neglect, because I '
should feel that I desetved it. Bid let the
re .der believe lh* assurance, which on *ar !
ihcr acquaintance; 1 flatter myself, he
will not doubt ; that no narrow and sord'd
cast of charater, no selfish love of solitude
and silence, no frost of the spirit, nor (what
is’more frequent) habits of low and grove.j
ling vice nave kept me s long a batln-lor.
No, gentle and friendly reader; I am a
bachelor, as Mnliere’s M ck D ctor was a
physician ; in x/t'ie of mijaclf. F.,t the last
five and twenty years of uy life, 1 have not
failed to dispute his point of dying a bach
elor. once a ye tr. wi lt some chat ming w.>
man or thcr : but .»s, in every such case,
she was both judge and party, 1 fared accoid
inglv ; I lost my *uit.
Noi let my ill success he ascribed to any
fifckttness or petulance on my part ; for I
nevei changed the jet,'. more th in once a
vear. nor desisod until 1 had met a rebuff
for eve* y season in it t his last rule of con
duct 1 adop ed for a philosophical reason :
foi although 1 knew that, in geneial May
was he mother of love, yet 1 knew, also
that the m x was not so mete a therm. meter
a- to dept nd. en nely on the weat ier ; I
Knew that he pecu.ia; cas. of ch rac er had
much to do wi 'n thisbusines ; and ilia al
though it might, in some cases, require the
S'"1‘I rav of spring or the more fervid one
ofsommer to t- uch * he cooseciated sn *w
that lies in Dean’s l ip.’yet hat m others, iit
same appro.tch of the sun might vnlatilizr
anddiss'pa e 'he characterbetood the pom
ofs e.idy thought and feein g. Hence I fol
lowed and watched my reigning tail one
through every sig in the zo"tac, with all the
assidui y and enthusiasm of an astronomer
I but without ever having once, had the fell
I city to observe a conjunction. I have triid
j every age from fifteen to forty ; and every
j coin pit xion ttom the Italian Biunette, to the
j dazz mg and transparent white of Circassia.
Nor let it be supposed that I have gone a.
bcu. this, as a matter of business ; as if ac
tuated merely by a cold and formal sense of
duty ()o the con rary, I think I can truly
affirm that there never beat in the bosom til
man a heart more alive, than mine, to all
tba is charming in woman. Indeed, it is to <
tnis excess of eeling and the officious, awk
v» at d and fatiguing anxiety oi manners wInch
it g neiates, that I charge the. ill success of
my c- unships. Yt te.w men have lord a better
opportunity than my sell to gam the polished
negligei.ee so pleaSi. g o women. The rea
der may not be disple .sed wi.h a sketch of
my liie ; he has. indeed, a right to know the
man who addi esses him, whether for the
purp -.e of amusement or instruction ; and I
shall introduce myself to him, if he please,
without reserve or pology,
I am a native oi Virginia ; and lost my
father at an age too young to retain any
know ledge of him In the year 1770. after
! having graduated at Princeton College, 1
; travelled, by the indulgence of the best o'
mm be i s, over the whole of civilized and
refined Europe ; visited every court, nssoci
ate* with the fust circles,and, what willao_
pear strange to those wlmknow me now,
received a brilliant compliment on my ad
dress from lie most polished nobkmau that
evei adorned a court. I returned to my na*
j tiye country in time to witness the opening
ot the war with (i Britain and to receivi
; one ball in n.y hip and another in my shout
, dtr at the battle of Brandy Wine. This
put an end to my campaigning; for, cvei
I since, I have been compelled to hobble on a
cane & have been unable to lift any weig u
in my right hand, much heavier than my
pen.
My mother (whois now an angel in TIca
ven.i had taken it into her neatl, with that
erring partiality which is so natural, so < x
cuse.io e and even so amiable in a parent,
that there was something uncommon in my
character and that l was formed to make a
figure in some line or other. Not being
able, however, to define to her own satis
faction in wiiat the peculiar superiority «»:
my mind consisted, nor consequently wh o
, the particular pi< feSsion was, in which I
was destined to shine, she tie e m i,.-d .ha
I 'h old try them all You <|, u. ti I :be chord
of genius was struck and direcetf my first
efforts to the udi of law. Her will was
my /mu . and Ik * w n pletvuie on earth
eq .al to that of obeying it. I entered, . lie* e«
tore, at once, cm the Herciueau Dbor of the
law : and an Herculean one 1 made it ; for
having, eatly in lite, nd. p etl he maxim
that ‘ whatever is worm doing, is worth do
1 mg welt,” 1 took a mu t in tlie study sug
gested by my own judgment. Dissatisfied
with he jojurte coutse commonly pursued
■ and aspiring to something beyond meriiocrr
1 ty, I look the science from its basis, the law
of naure; and raised upon it an unusual
j and most extensive superstruc'ure ot nation
| aland civil, as well as municipal law. But
, my success by no means corresponded wiih
the pt paration ; lor when I came *o the liar of
my county, I found that I was like a seven*"
ty-four-gun ship aground in a creek ; while
every pettifogger, with his canoe and pad
dle was able to dodge, around and get adiead
of me. I found myself, in short, so entirely
eclipsed by littleness, chicanery and sophis
try set off by a bold and confident front and
a loud and voluble tongue, that having no
necessity to continue the practice, I retired
from it. I will not say, in disgust ; but u i
dor a conviction, that the prtfe>sion was an
Augean stall which required cl. anting, and
tha', to give it all its appropriate dignity and
attraction, a fundamental refoimation was
indispensible. On this subject, the readei
will hear farther from me, in the course ot
these papers . at present, I return to my
nai iat:ve

1 here were, however, two circuinstaii
c; :• in t is pr* fession, that gave me great
