philosophic research and profundity, and may be
.considered one of the very hest works to which
the trauscendant powers of our great dramatic Bard
have ever given. occasion.

work on Russia, founded upon observations which
be made 'during the time when he Pecompanied'a
young Noblema❑ on his. travels. lie- also pub-
lished. a Collection of- Poems, which strongly
evince taste and sensibility. lie wrote a Tragedy,
entitled The Indians, which was received wittrap-
plause on the Stage ; and another, derived from
the Poems ut Qssian, which- was highly interest-
ing and pathetic. He was uncommonly mild and
pleasing in his manners, and has left a reputation
which, for moral . anti iuteliectual merit, entitle
his memory to admiration and esteem.
