In confequencc of this iinfhackled freedom in tiie compod 

 tion and delivery of Iiis let^ures, every circumftance was ia 

 tlie niceft unifon with the tone of voice, and exprelTion of 

 countenance, which the particular caflof mind he was in at 

 the time infpired. Was he joyous, all tlie figures introdu- 

 ced for illuflration were fitted to excite hilarity and good

 fracerity, they are then in regard to us in the fituatlon of 

 one to whom we owe great obligations : but we never love 

 t'lofe to whom we have been too much indebted ; or atleaf: 

 v/c do not fee them witla pleafure.
