" ILLIAM HAYLEY, ESQ.—This Gentleman,

tie notice as if his name and talents were
unknown to the public, is a remarkable
.4stanee of the transitory nature of popularity.
There was a tune when he seemed to be the
11.4N'ourite Poet of the day ; and though there was
tZtbing of striking originality in his composi-
styi'l yet they were written in that legitimate
s-are;vhich, though it may for a while be ob-
bY fashion and affectation, will always

/477,4 learning, taste, and judgment. His Triumph
I 1e:17-Ter made a noise at the time when first
"jai:shed, and many other of his Poems excited
proe,-,;,attontion. His Plays in verse besides were

NOed at the Haymarket Theatre. His prose
