the most valuable of precedents.
'It was, however, rermirked of him, that on
other 'occasions, requiring important and
prompt action in the government; no man
was moro decided, quick and resolute than
he. In the Council Chamber, he would doubt
by the hour on all matters of speculation, but
no man ever was more prompt and vigorous
as to practica measures, espec'mlly where the
prerogative of the Crown was to be upheld.
On this account it was that he became for so
many years the ; warm and personal friend as
well as Chancellor, first of George 111., and
afterwards of George IV., although fjie two
monarchs were so opposite in their tastes, sen
timents and friendships. His doubts ' were all
speculative ; his decisions all "practical, lie
knew, moreover, where his 'interest lay, and
if that was involved, he never was afflicted

There are .many men in whom thus the
