CJara67er Of Doaoy Sn8ieH.


The perGon Of Dr. Smol.ctt
was llout and we'll proPoltionel,
his countenance engaging, his
manner rclervej, with a certain
air of dignity, that lecmed to in
dicate that he was not uncon-
fcious Of his own powers. lie
was oi a dilpoGtion fo humane
and generous, that he was ever
ready To ferye the unfortunate,
and, on fome occaGons, to aHf
them beyond what his circum-
ltances could iultify.-ThouEh
few coul penet-atc with more
acutenris into character, yetnone
was more apt I'd overlook milf
conduit, when attended with
misfortune. He lived i'll an h0f-
Pitable manner, but he delpiied
that holPitality, which is found


ed Oh otentation, which enter
tains only thofe, Whole Gtuation
in life fattals the vanity Of the
entertainer, or luch as can make
returns of the fame kind ; that
hofPita4ity, which keeps debt
oT and creditor account of din
ners. Smollett invited to his
plain, but plentiful table, the per
lons whole charaGter5 NE eGeem-
ed, in whole convcrtatior hc de-
lighted, and many for no other
realOn, than becau(e they Rood
in need Of his countenance and
protection. AS nothing was more
abhorrent to his nature, than
Pertneis, or intruGon, few things
could render him more indignant
than a cold reception to this,
however, he imagined he had
lometimeS been expofed, on ap-
Plication in favor Of others for
he never made an ap-
Plcaton to any great man in
his life.


Free from vanity, Smollett
had a confderable fhare Of pride,
and great fenGbility ; his panions
were eafly moved, and too i'm
petuous when routed (; he could
not conceal his contempt Of fol-
ly, his deteltation Of fraud, nor
from Proclaiming his in
againlt every intance
Of oPpreGion. Though SmoI-
let Poaeled veriatility of fyIe
IN writing, which he could &C
commodate to every character,
he had no luPplenels in his con-
