TRUTH is disputabie, not taste: what
exists in the ,natafe Of tIings is the standard
oI our Judgment /; what each man feels
within hlmselfi is the standard Of sentiment.
Propositions in geometry may be proved,
systems in physic may be controverted ;
but the harmony of verse, the tenderness
Of passion, tl'e briliiaucv Of VT, must give
immediate pleasure. No man reasons con-
corning another mans beaut ut freGuen!-
" the justice or injustice OF his actions.
In every criminal trial, the first object
Of the prisoner is to disprove the facts al
lodged * the second to prove that, even if
these actions were real, they ought to be
justified. 1t is confcssedIy by deductions OF
the understanding, that the first point is as
certained how can we suppose that diff.
fcrent faculty of the mind is employed in
fixing the other.
y In modern times, i z0e Gre prosecuted
for A6rl zvs are nat permitted to give the
truth in evidence.

few days for refreshment; the most re-

the natives with equal dispatch, correct-

lightful spot, well cultivated, and think
exceeds in natural beauty, any one Of The
