brafed for the length of their lives; we fhall therefore add 
nothing to what has been laid under that head, except the 
portrait of a man deitined for longevity, drawn by the ce¬ 
lebrated Hufeland. “ He has a proper and well-propor¬ 
tioned ftature, without being too tall. He is rather of the 
-middle (ize, and fomewhat thick fet. His complexion is 
not too florid ; at any rate, too much ruddinefs in youth 
is feldotn a fign of longevity. His hair approaches rather 
to the fair than the black; his flcin is Itrong, but not 
rough. His head is not too big; he has large veins at the 
•extremities, and his fhoulders are rather round than flat. 
.His neck is not too long; his belly does not projeft, and 
his hands are large, but not loo deeply cleft. His foot is 
rather thick than long, and his legs are firm and round. 
•He has alfo a broad arched chelt, a Itrong voice, and the 
faculty of retaining his breath fora long time without dif¬ 
ficulty. In general, there is a complete harmony in all 
his parts. His fenfes are good, but not too delicate ; his 
pulle is clear and regular. His appetite is good, and di- 
geltion eafy. He eats flowly, and has not too much thirIt. 
He is ferene, active; lufceptible of joy, love, and hope; 
but infenfible to the itnpreflions of hatred, anger, and 
avarice. His paflions never become too violent. If he 
gives way to anger, he experiences an unufual flow of 
warmth, a kind of gentle fever, without any overflowing 
of the gall. He is fond of employment, particularly calm 
meditation, and agreeable (peculations ; is an optimift; a 
friend to natural afteftions, and domeltic felicity ; has no 
third after honours or riches, but is fatisfied with his lot.”

MAN (Henry), was born in London in 1747; and at 
fifteen years old was placed as clerk in a mercantile 
houfe in the city ; where he employed his leifure hours in 
the (tudy of our bed Englifh authors, efpecially the poets. 
From infancy, he had (hown a drong partiality for poe¬ 
try, by writing verfes on every little occafion that offered. 
Some of his early productions he publifhed in 1770, in a 
(mail iarao. volume, entitled The Trifier. In 1774 he 
wrote foine curfory Thoughts on Learning, in a feries of 
letters, and iome other ellays, which were publifhed in 
the Morning Chronicle. In 1775 he wrote a novei, enti¬ 
tled Bentley, or the Rural Philolopher ; and foon after 
retired to Reading, Berks, where he produced many little 
poems. In this year he publifhed anonymoufiy, Cloaci- 
na, a Comi-Tragedy, 4to. He was alfo the author of a 
farce called the Elders, which, however was never per¬ 
formed. His Cloacina was a fatire on the bed writers of 
the time, in which the peculiarities of their dyle were well 
imitated. It commences at the fifth aft, “ becaufe,” as 
we are informed in the dedication, “ he had found that 
it was fadiionable to make the four firft aftc- of no impor¬ 
tance at all.” Mr. Man was appointed deputy-fecretary 
to the South-Sea Company; and this fituation he held till 
his death, which happened Dec. 4, 1799. He poffeffed a 
natural genius, aflided by a retentive memory. He was 
rather eccentric in fome of his opinions; profelling a 
rooted difgult for all literary acquirements beyond the 
Englifh language, which, he infifted, was lufficient for all 
purpofes ; contending, that whatever is worthy of notice 
in ancient authors is to be found in excellent tranflations. 
His works were collefted in 2 vols. 8vo. and publilhed by 
his friends in 1802.
