Amidst a career which the keenness of anxious rivalry renders a sharp probation to the temper and the affections, often yet more embittered by that strife of party, of which, in a Representative Constitution, few men of letters escape the eager passions and the angry prejudice- they recal the memory of a competitor, without envy ; a partisan, without gall; firm, as the firmest, in the maintenance of his own opinions; but gentle as the gentlest in the judgment he passed on others. |
