The fame OF this lurist is enhanced by the varl
Gus attninments which were superinduced up
on his learning in the law. His "Miseellane.
Gus Writings" shew thoughtful mind, imbued
with elegant literature, glowing with kindly SEN
timents, commanding a style of rich and varied
eloquence. There are many passages from these
which have become the common-places of our
schools. In carly life he yielded to the fascina
lions of the poetic muse and here the great law
yer may find companionship with Selden who is
introduced by Sucking into his Session of Po-
ets J" as "close by the chair" with Blackstone,
whose Farewell TO the Muse" shows his fond
ness for poetic pastures, even while his eye was
directed to the heights of the law, and also with
Mansfield, of whom Pope has lamented in famil-
lar words, .-s =. ...s.l H.

- Whene'r you speak, remainder every cause
Stands not eloquence, but stands on laws


Pregnant in matter, in expression brief,


Let every sentence stand with bold relief;


On trifing points, no time nor talents waste,


A sad offence to learning and to taste; ll asre
Nor deal with pompous phrase {; nor eer suppose,


Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose-


Loose defamation may deceive the crowd,
And seem more striking as it grows more loud,


But sober sense rejects it with disdain.
As nought but empty noise, and weak vain,


The froth of words, the schoolboy's vain parade


Of books and cases-all his stock in trade


The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play


Oflow Attorneys strung in long array,
The unseemly jest, the petulent reply,


That chatters on, and cares not how, OF Why,


Studions, avoid-unworthy themes to scap,


They sink the Speaker and disgrace the Man.


Like the false light by flying shadows cast,


Scarce seen. when present, and forgot WREN past


Begin with dignity eXpound with grace


Each ground of reasoning in its time and place;


Let order reign throughout-each topic touch,


Nor urge IFS power too little, or too much,


Give each strong thought its most attractive view,
In diction clear. and yet severely true,


And as the arguments splendor grow,
Let each reflect its light on all below.


When to the close arrived, make delays


By petty hourishes verbal plays s
But sum the whole in one deep solemn strain,


Like strong current fastening to the main.
