LORD WOODHOUSELEE. 563 
(written by men of kindred genius,) will, I trust, long continue 
to inspire in this place the spirit of philosophical ambition, I 
dare to hope, that even the faint outline which I have now gi- 
ven of the character of Lord Woopuovse.er, may tend to che- 
rish that moral ambition which all men are called to indulge ; 
without which learning is vain, and talents are dangerous, and 
to which rewards of a nobler kind are assigned, than either the 
praise of men or the splendors of literary fame.
