nbservatioa has often- led me to re
mark amongst men.that those whose
birth' might reasonably have made
them fastidious under hardship and
toil, have generally borne their miseries-without
a murmur; whilst
those whose previous life, one would
have thought, might have better
prepare them -for the toils of war,
have been the first to cry oat and
complain of their hard fate.
