that he was averse to society ; on the contrary, he
had, at times, a very high zest for it. But even io
society, his enjoyments while young were of a •pen-

equals in age: bet sat, quiet and demure, taking not
part in the conversation,givingon responsive smile to
the circulating jest, but lost, to all appearance, in silence

eppa rent ; for on the dispersion of a company,w hen in.
terrogated by his parents as to what bad been pass-
ing, he was able not only to detail the conversation,
bpi to sketch, with strict fidelity, the character of

indeed, they are said to have been more remarkable
for their justness, than for any peculiar felicity of
etecution.

was raised and educated. Hi•pereeta, though not

personal character, were among the most respectable

Ills father, Col. John Henry, was a native of Aber.

is also 'laid to have been a nephew,' in the maternal
line, to the great historian 1)r William Robertson.—
He Came over to Virginia. in quest. of fortune,
,some
time prior to the year 1730. and the tradition is, that
he enjoyed the friendship and patronage of Mr. Din.

the principal Surveyor of the county, and for many
years the presiding Magistrate of the County Court.
His surviving acquaintances concur in stating, that he
was a man of liberal education, that he possessed a j
plain, yet solid ondetsrassding; and lived long a life I
of the wog irreproachable integrity, and exemplary ,}l
piety. His brother Patrick, • Clergyman of the
Church of England, followed him to this country
some years afterwards ; and became, by his i
idle Minister of St. Paul's parish, in Hanover, '
-functions of which office he sustaioed through life i
with great respectability. Huth the brothers were i
zealous Members of the Established Church, and
warmly attached to the reigning family. Colonel
John Henry was conspicuously so : " there are those

Mrs. Heary,the widow of Col.Syme,as we have seen,
and the mother of Patrick Henry, was a native of
Hanover County, and of the family of Winstons.s
She possessed, in an eminent degree, the mild and
benevolent disposition, the undeviating probity, the
correct understanding and easy elocution by which'
that ancient family has been so long distinguished.—
Her brother William, the father of the present
Judge Vtiostoo, is said to have been highly endowed
with that peculiar cast of eloquence, for which Mr.
Henry became, afterwards, so justly celebrated. Of
'this Gentleman I have an anecdote from a corre.
'opondent, which I shall give in his own words. " I

was the greatest orator whom he ever heard, Patrick
Henry excepted ; that during the last French and
Indian war, and soon after liredilock's defeat, when
the militia were marched to the frontiers of Virginia,
against the enemy, this William Winston was the
lieutenant of a company ; that the men, who were,
iiiditfereutly clothed, without tents, and exposed to
the rigoor and inclemency of the weather, discovered
great aversion to the service, slid were anxious and

they, and that management seems to have been most
wretched.
Left to himself, all the lotion:ace of his character
returned. These enfortunate habits which be had

eondeesned, in-himself, this facility of temper, find
foresaw the embarrassments with which it threatened
him; but he was unable to oterevatelt. Even with
the best prospect!, the confinehieett or Sects a Wei.
nes would have been scarcely supportable; bit wits
those which now threatened him, his store became a
prison. To make the matter still worie, the jn)• of
the chase, jays no* to him forbidden, echoed sinend
hint every morning, and by their contrast, and the
longings which they excited, contributed to deepen
thedi•gust which he had taken to his employttenti.
From these painful reflections,erid ihegloomy fore.
bodings which darkened the rotate, be sought, at first,
a refuge in music, for which, It seems, he had a neturet
taste, and he learned to play well on the 'Henn and
on the flute. From music he mad to books, and,
having premed a few light and elegant authors, Cc.
spired, for the first time, a relish for reading.
He found another relief, too, in the frequent op.
portunities now afforded him of pursuing his favour.
ite study of the human character. The character of
every customer underweut this scrutiny ; and thati
not with reference either to the integrity or solvency
of the individual, in which one would suppose that
Mr. Henry would feel himself most interested ; bat
in relation to the structure of his Mind, the general
Cost of his opinions, the motias and principles
which influenced his actions, and what may be called
'the philosophy of character. In pursuing these ill.
vestigations, he is said to have resorted to arts, ap.
paretaly so far above his years, and which look so
much like an after-thought, resulting from his fours
eminence, that I should hesitate to make the state-
ment were it dot attested by so many witnesses, and
by some who cannot be suspected of the capacity for
having fabricated the fact. Their account of it, theta
is this; that whenever a company of hit customer*
met in the store (which frequently happened On O.
taut day ftf the week), and were thesnseites suflitt.
*oily gay and esiesated to talk and act as nature
prompted, without concealment, without merest, be
would take no part in their discussions, but listen
with a silence as deep and attentive, as if under the
influence of some potent charm. lf, on the con•
trary, they were dull and silent, he would, witholit
betraying his drift, task himself to set them in mo.
tion, and excite them to remark, Collision,•and ez.•
clemation. fie was peculiarly delighted with coos•
paring their characters, and ascertaining how they
would, severally act, in given situations. With this
view he would state an hypothetic case, and call for
their opinions, one by one, as to the conduct which
would he proper in it. If they differed, he would
demand their reasons, and enjoy highly, the de-
bates in which he would thus involve them. By
multiplying and varying those imaginary cases at
pleasure, he ascertained the getter'sl course of human.
opinion, and formed, for himself, as it were, a gra.
dusted scale of the motives and conduct which are
natural to man. Sometimes he would entertain theist
with stories, gathered from his reading, or, as will
more frequently the case, drawn from his own fancy,
composed of heterogeneous circumstances, calculated
to excite, by turns, pity, terror, resentment, indig-
nation, cantempt ; pausing, in the turns of his nar.
retire, to observe the effect ; to watch the different
modes in which the passions expressed themselvelo
and learn the language of emotion from those chit.
dren of nature.

In these etercises, Mr. Henry could have bed no..
thing in view beyond the present gratification of a
natural propensity. The advantages of them, bow
ever, were far more permanent, and gave the bright.
est colours to his future life. For those continual
efforts to render himself intelligible to his plain and
unlettered hearers, on subjects entirely net► to them•
taught him that clear and simple style which forma
the best vehicle of thought to a popular assembly ;
which hit attempts to interest and affect them, in or-
der that lie might hear from them the echo of na tore,.
voice, instructed him in those topics of persuasion br
which nien were the most certainly to be moved, and
in the kind of imagery and structore of language,
which were the best fitted to strike and agitate their
hearts. These constituted his escelletscies as an ova.
for ; and never aesthete& man, in any age, whd pos-
sessed, in a more eminent degree, the lucid and net-
voos style of argument, the commend of the most
beautiful anJ striking imagery, or that language at
passion which burns from soul to soul.

In the mean times the business of the store was
rushing headlong, to its catastrophe. One year pet
au end to it. William was then thrown loose upon.
society, to which be was never, afterwards, usefully
attached ; end Patrick was engaged, for the two or,
three following years, in winding up this disastrous
experiment as well as he could.
His misfortunes, however, seem not to have had
the effect either of teaching him prudence or of chill.
iug his affections; for at the esrlysge of eighteen,
we find him married to a Miss Shelton, the daoschter
of an honest farmer in the neigbboerhood, but in dr-,
cemstauces too poor to contribute effectually
to her
support.
