Biographical.
CROTIUs.

THIS great civilian and this general
fcholar is thus defcribed by Auberi du
Maurier, who was intimately acqnaint
ed with him:
I" Grotius was very good post in
the Greek and in the Latin languages,
and knew perfectly we'll all the dead and
living languages. He was, 5efides, a
profound lawyer, and a mot excel ent
hi(torian.-He had read all the good
books that had ever been pnbliihed ;
and what is atfonilhing, MS memory
was 70 aropg, that every thing which
he had once read, was ever preftnt TO i,
without forgetting the mof trling cir
cumaance. 1t has been often remark
ed. that perfons Of great memories have
not always been perions Of good and Of
found judgment. But Grotius was
extremely judicious, both in his writings
and in his conversation. | have often, -
adds Du Maurier, " ieen this great m y
jult caR his eye upon page OF huge
foliovolume and inaantaneo1ny become
acquainted with the contents oft. He
ufed to take for his motto, Hora rnit,
10 put himielfi in continual remembrance
that he fhould uftfully employ that
lime which was flying away with ex-
IRENE rapidly.
/" Grotius was born at Def in Iiol
land was a tall, Hrong, and we'll
made man, and had very agreeable
commemorative all thefe excellen
cies of body bis mind was ALL as excel
lent. He was a man of opennefs, OF
veracity, and Of honor, and 70 perfectly
virtuous, that throughout Lis whole life,
he made not only Poiut Of avoiding
men of bad charaaer, but of fseking the
acquaintance Of men of worth and per
ions diRinguthed by talents, not orly
Of his own country, but Of all Eurcp-,
with whom he kept up an epiiolAry
| correspondence"
Crotius e(caped from the ealle OF
LouveReiu, where he had been comm
ed on account of bis connection with
the luxurious and unfortunate Barne-
Welt, by the addrsf, Of his wife She
was permitted to find him books, and
The feat them in trunk large enough
to hold her hufband. She made a pre-
tence TO Wifi him, and ltayed in the
fotrefs till her huibani was out OF the
