ported that the Black is not very fresh, and Painter
being the favourite at Norwich, betting will be
about even in the ring.

of her t 'dents: the delicac! of herperceplious ; the astonish-
ing variety of her inipres-ion.; the warmth ut her elutpieneet
the strength of her judgement; the truth of her ent,lui,iasm ;
her love of liberty mid of justice; her fervent sensibility;
the mehincholy which treqNently distinguished her, even in
her purely literary productions, are all here employed itt
throwing light on one subject. in expressing one.single se_l4l..

time that she has treated a subject with all the resaureeb of
her wind, and all the depth of
.her soul, without bring
