94 ^^' Johnftone^s Account of the, ^c\ 



meflic conduiV, and on the different effefls of 

 poflefTing or wanting the virtues and qualities 

 which he recommends. There is fomething 

 peculiarly curious, animated, and ufeful, in his 

 direflions to them, how to judge of, and manifefi: 

 an honourable pafTion in, and towards the other 

 fex, and in the very accurate and ufeful diftinfl- 

 tion which he makes, between true and falfe 

 delicacy. Nothing can be more ftriking and 

 affeding, nothing more likely to give his pater- 

 nal advices their defired effectj than the rcfped:- 

 ful and affeftionate manner in which he mentions 

 his lady their mother, and the irreparable lofs 

 which he and they fuftained by her early death. 

 In fhort, in this trad, the Profeflfor fhines with 

 peculiar luftre, as a hufband and father, and it 

 is admirably adapted to promote domeftic hap- 

 pinefs. It is much to be wifhed, that this trad 

 was re-printed in a cheaper form, that it might 

 be more generally read and regarded. And alfo, 

 that the Dodtor's works were re-printed together^ 



" Adieu, ye lays, that fancy's flowers adorn. 

 The foft amufement of the vacant mind ! 

 He fleeps in duft, and all the Mufes mourn ; 

 He, whom each virtue fired, each grace refined. 

 Friend ! teacher ! pattern! darling of mankind ! 

 'He fleeps in duft ! — Ah ! how fhould I purfue 

 My theme! — To heart-confuming grief refigned. 

 Here on his recent grave I fix my view; 

 And pour my bitter tears— Ye flowery lays adieu !
