alittte Fat, fturdy man, of fhort, punch^likc 

 figure, between thirty and forty years of age* 

 with a vaft deal of good humour and will- 

 ing adivity about him— buttling, well- intend- 

 ing, and officioufly defirous to be ufeful. He 

 is confident, and prefumptuous, yet poffefies a 

 degree of perfonal timidity bordering upon fu- 

 perftition. Abruptly familiar w T ith thofe he 

 feeks, he grows importunate and attaches him- 

 felf even to annoyance ; being one of thofe peo- 

 ple who have more of freedom than good man- 

 ners — perfed mafters in eafe, and as perfedly 

 ignorant in politenefs. He is of that clafs 

 which poffefles more of willingnefs than judg- 

 ment—more of hafte, than order ; one of thofe 

 who engage with bold confidence, in whatever 

 prefents itfelf, without looking to the event, 

 or obferving any thing of method in the exe- 

 cution ; — who are ever ready to plunge into 

 difficulties, without a thought how to fubdue 

 them. 



The fame fanguine feelings which lead 

 \im into difficulties, tend to fupport him 

 through them. Not being of a difpolition to 

 brood over his diftreffes, he is feldom the fub- 

 jed of difmay, or the vidim of fcmbre reflect
