LORD WOODHOUSELEE. 568 



(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 Woodhouselee, 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.
