timonials immediately indicated the high place he occupied in popular regard. Nor was the respect thus proffered a transient emotion. In the crowded. thoroughfare of Broadway, the admirers of genius and exalted worth may still be often seen to pause and contemplate the noble monument to his memory in St. Paul's church-yard.

This perpetuity of admiration mingled with grief, comports well with the character of the man we have attempted to described. He was as fascinating in private life, as he was splendid in the forum. His manners were conciliating and attractive to an extraordinary degree, blending the dignity and urbanity of the gentleman with the cordiality and playfulness of the friend. Like Hector, setting aside his crested helmet, that he might not frighten his boy, he laid aside all perfunctionary austerities, and put every person in his presence at confiding ease. Politeness in him was of the truest type, and flowed from its only true source-a noble, warm, and magnanimous heart. For whatever was amiable in childhood, or venerable in age-lovely in woman, or heroic in man-lofty in principle, endearing in friendship, or praise-worthy in enterprise, he had an instinctive capacity to appreciate, and spontaneous sympathies to embrace.
