pre eminence over the moil enlighten ed lawyers and his advice in dif ficult ohfeure matters was look ed upon as the moft certain and fafe by thefe qualifications his name was rendered famous and his merit was conlidered fo fuperi- or that his affociatcs far from be ing jealous confided implicitly in his impartiality the private and public charac ter of the prefident mole were e- qually laudable for having loft his wife in whom his happinefs was chiefly centered he under took the charge of his only daugh ter and iucceeded fo far that a- mchvs mind was cultivated with i thole good qualities

ilie tranllaied into french the mat terpieces of the englilh authors her underftanding was not only enlarged by an acquaintance with all the practical fciences but what is ftill more valuable with the pre cious feeds of virtue thefe had operated on her heart fo admira bly that amelia was modeit with out affectation mild and engag ing w ithout timidity fubmiilivc without lofmg her dignity gene rous without prodigality 5 kind and condefcending to the fervants without familiarity attentive and refpectful to her father not only from a fence of gratitude but alio from that of affection tendemefs and love the only fault which her fath er had not been able to correct in her was curiolity extremely de- firous of knowing every thing fhe would not let the leaft thing pais in the houfe without enquring in to the particulars if the heard a double knock at the door file ran to the window to fee who it was if a carriage entered the yard ilie was immediately hanging over the ftaircale to hear whether it

fliewn her the impropriety offueln ntaii iiciioiisj amelia dared not apply to him when ihe wanted to be informed of any thing but u- fed to bribe his secretary by whomj ilie was informed of all that was tranfacteel in her fathers office thus her inconfiderate curiolity not only rendered her culpable but corrupted the fidelity of her fathers confidants the prefi dent who had feveral times dif- covered that his daughter was ac quainted with fecrets which he thought were improper to be en- trufted to her could not conceive how fhe came to the knowledge of them when i fay fecrets do not flip- pofe that the prefident improper ly withheld any tiling from the knowledge of his daughter on whom he fo fondly doated on the contrary his great pleafure was to converfe with his amelia on all the affairs of the family and he entruited her with the manage ment of all thole matters which he could not attend to himfelf or which belonged to her department- the fecrets that he kept from her were not his own they were ei ther thole of the ftatc or of pri vate people which he could noi have difclofed but at the dangei of his life or his reputation one maxim which the prefident main taincd was that he who violated a fecret entruited to him deferred punifhrnent ten times more thar he who robbed you of your prop erty it was for this reafon that he would never abufe the confi denccrepofed in him by the pub lie by relating to his daughter af fairs which were of no concern u her m mole had more than one explained this diftinftion to aim r whofe good fence never railed to went to fo

until 8 in the morning you cannot conceive the impa tience and curiofity of amelia du ring the time of the deliberation she did not let a fingle fervant pais without enquiring the number of perfons at the meeting the time of their arrival and the motive of their remaining fo long as the fervants knew nothing of the mat ter the lefs fhe could cret from them the more was her curiofity inflamed during
