The Sexagcnatrian seems to have found peculiar solace in recapitulating the anecdotes of all hip acquaintance during his past lift. His college locubrat.mis furnished him also with manv intimat,,s of whom he has, be a pleasant mcnrory, represented things mos: favourably ; he very lightly ouches anti dwells and en larges upon merit, urbanity, and skill. There arc a few allusions to his intimacy with some who have been raised to higher station, but did not always remember his quondam friendship, and in these notes there ap pears a taint of dissatisfaction ; but, in general, the work is an effort of a mind, happily neither clouded by ndverity, nor elated by prosperity ; the evert tenor of his wary has led hint to rejoice with those that rejoice, and to weep with those that weep—he loved society, anti has profited by all its communications ; and though he alludes sometimes to the errors of those he -dtli watc, he avoids, in general, to " set down aught in. mance." Perhaps curiosity is not more excited, than to discover the characteristic features of men of letters, because they are , generally turned from view, either by their native nuxiesty and diffidence, or by the retire ment of their studies ; on this account, anecdotes of their manners and sayings secure an universal reading, riot every reader dwells fondly upon almost every sylla ble of a man of literary eminence, as if he had himself 411 .cort:ed a part of the mine with which the indivi (Hal wan stored, and thus a deliberate, though tie fluently a prejudiced fudgment, is thrilled of men Nolo i. rve a better fate.
