universal plaudts Of the world. He would
have defended to poftcrity as one of thofe az

centuries to produce. But Bonaparte was in
fatuated by his ambition. i" Like the bafr
Indian he threw away pearl richer by far than
all his tribe" He attended to the throne Of
France: And his name defended to the cheap
and common catalogue of great men.
