appear the worfer reafon they drferve well of their country and of europe for the tone of decided oppofition which they always maintained towards the ambitious fthmea of the common enemy of chiiftendom but furely the effcet of their truly er-g- lifh fpecnlations in regard to him and his project would not have been at ail les sened had they learned to treat his per sonal character with a iltle more candour napoleon was a wicked and unprincipled monarch but who is fo mind as mt to fee that mere wickednefs and extraordi nary luck could never poflthly have ele vated the fon of an ohfeure gentleman of ajaccio to the elevation which this prince of adventurers attained in the centre ol ci vilized europe nations yet to come will look back to lishiltory as to fme grand and fuperntural romance the fiery en ergy of hi youthful career and the magni ficent pmgrcfof his irrefiltible ambition have inverted his character with the rryfte- uous grandeur ot fomc heavenly appari tion and when

frontispiece of fame as the fymhol of fallen ambition and illdirected genius we have fnffered more from napoleon than ever englifhmen did we have fecn our plains fattened with the blood of our heroes we have fcen cur menarchs infulted and our fancluaries outraged but fcacely even in the very moment of our mod hoftile fury did we ever fpeak of our enemy in fuch tcrm9 of exaggerated and infulting rancour as this kjrave journal perpelually pours forth up on the captive of st helena there is fomething dignified and faered in human genius even although it be misapplied ihc reverence which we feel for it is an inffinct of nature and cannot be laid afide without a fin he who is infenfible to its irfluence has committed fact ilege againft his own fpirit and degraded himfelf from the height of his original elevaiion it is clear that they who think napoleon a nan of a fecondary clafs do not belong to the rirft order thrmfelves the optics of a lilliputian cannot take in the dimen- fions of a gwnt i may venture before i difmifs mr giflbid to nitice juft one other of his bi gotries it is one which to german eaie rnuit i think aupear itill more extraordi nary hi prejudice againft napoleon is founded in juflice and we can pardon his transferring fome portion of a legitimate avcrfion riom the ambitious fchemc to the pcrfonal character of the conqueror but no apology can be offered for the indifcri- minaiiug hatred he feems to feel towards a whole nation of his fellowcountrymen the scots the tweed to be furc flows between england and scotland but in go vernment conilitution law and above all in literature ihcfe two rival coun tries have long fince become entirely unit ed to revive the feelings of thofe old warlike day- which have been immortaliz ed by a fciies of poets not in
