"The life Of our Washington cannot
suffer by Il comparison with those Of
other countries, who have been most

attributes and decorations Of royalty
could only have served to eclipse the
majesty Of those virtues, Which made
him, from being a model citizen, a more
Respondent lumnary. Misfortune, had
he lived could hereafter sullicd his glory
only with those superficial minds, though
believing that characters and actions
are marked by success alone, rarely de-
serves to enjoy It. Malice could never.

singular exception to her universal rule.
Tor himself, he had lived enough. toIlife

their prayers could have been answered,
he would have becn&immortal. For me,
his depnrture&is lnt a most unfortunate
