cast, and very lively, his bair deep
brown, his face rather long and marked
with the small pox, his complexion sun
burnt and without much color, and his
countenauc1 sensible, composed and
thoughtful. There is a remarkable air OF
dignity about him, with striking degree
OF gracetulness he has an excellent un-
