Illustrated biography; or, Memoirs of the great and the good of all nations and all times; comprising sketches of eminent statesmen, philosophers, heroes, artists, reformers, philanthropists, mechanics, navigators, authors, poets, divines, soldiers, savans, etc . rs todisqualify him for hardship; yet, accustomed to it from early life, few are capa-ble of enduring fatigue to the same extent, or with less injury. His dark blueeyes, with brows arched and slightly projecting, possess a marked expression ;but when from any cause excited, they sparkle with peculiar lustre and pene-tration. In his manners he is pleasing—in his address commanding; whilehis countenance, marked with firmness and decision, beams with a strengthand intelligence that strikes at first sight.

Infiuenced by the belief that merit should constitute the only difference in men,his attention is equally bestowed on honest poverty as on titled moral character is without reproach ; and by those who know him mostintimately he is most esteemed. Benevolence in him is a prominent virtueHe was never known to pass distress without seeking to assist and to relieve it. The Hermitage—Residence of Andrew Jackson, Tennetae*. DE WITT CLINTON 471
