Mr.. Pitt', mind was deeply I'M
htcd with the love of glory, with the
fire Of genius, with taite, literature,
and the bet endowments Of nature.
He was beloved by his friends, and
iteadv in his attachments. His tenn
per, as a Hivate man, contrary TO
what has been lometimes, but mott
unwarrantabIy faid, was open, gen
erous, and kind, his powers Of con-
verfation bore the famP Of his gen
ius-but it was genius unbending
from the dignity Of fenatoriAl emln-
ence, 10 that faCinating and familiar
Gmplicity which truly great men are
ever known to difPlay in dOmeltic
and relaxed hours.


Abroad, and in political contef,
he was proud and unben5ing To
thofe who know him conhdentially,
he was faid to bear an uniform de-
meanour Of kindnefs and good nature.

ents that can be brought to bear in

receive the plaudiis Of great and
greatful country.

tenancc for eight and forty hours
the immediate caufe of his death was
the debility Of his itonrach
