be as remarkable an example Il, can b. Of
fered of the clear, sensible and manly think.
ing, and the terse, simple, unaiftctclly
graceful style for which that eminent wri-
ter was remarkable. II adds-'Read this
short prayer over again, and see if every
hope be not expressed, in those few admir-
able lines, which a religious and rational
people can form for their future King :"
"PRAYER for the then Duke IF CornwaH, in
roduced by Mr.. Sydney Smith, before the
Sermon in 81. PaurS Cathedral"
ave pray also for that Infant of the Roy
al Race ,whom in thy good Providence thou
hast given Us for our future King. We
beseech thee so to mould his heart and FASH
ion his spirit, that he may be a blessing and
not an evil TO The land of his birth. May
he grow in favor with man, by leaving to
lis own force and direction the energy Of a
free People! May he grow in favor with
God, by holding the faith in Christ ~fcrvent-
ly and feelingly, without feebleness, with
out fanaticism, without folly! As lac will
be the first man in these realms, 50 may he
be the bsst;-disdaining to hide bad actions
by high station, and endeavoring always,
by the example ola strict and moral life, 10
repay those gifts whicha loyal people arc
SO willing to spare from their own neccssi-
ties to a good King"
