last numbrr of the North American Review:
" Erorn' his youth up, he ha shunned
no toil however severe. His whole life
basjbeen a life of intense labor, a series
of great exertions. He has evinced on
all occasions, a large and comprehensive
benevolence ; a sound and practical judg
ment ; United with a genius of the 1 oiliest
and most universal- character. We do
not know that a single one of the numer
ous schemes, of momentous importance,
which he has originated, can be' said to
have finally failed. It may be added, -and
it is a far nobler tribute to his charac
ter, that there is not one of them ait,
which has not for its object, an improve
ment in the condition of some large por
tion of the community. Of the 'univer
sality of his genius, the universality
of his attainments furnishes sufficient
evidence. He is one of the most pro
foundly scientific men of his day. Iiong
and severe study has familiarized him
with the teachings ot the dead and ot the
living,. ;He has succeetjed, if we may so
speak, ip transfusing into himself tbjf
spirit ot ancient literature : and no in
considerable portion of the modern is his
own work He seems to know tle 'histo
ry of past Ages as if he had lived in them ;
and his published writings show how
thoroughly he understands the condition
of the present. He is a master of the
English law, the most complicated and
difficult of all the sciences ; a science, to
as.cendA)yhose heights and fathom whose
4eptlis, demand strong powers .strongly

odical press. He would be a bold man
who should venture to say when or where,
or by what boundary, the operation of the
influence is to be circumscribed.
And all this Mr- Brougham has accom
plished while yet in the vigor of life. -What,
then, may not be expected of him,
sho'uld he be spared to the green old age
of Franklin r Hitherto he has neither
had official rank-or official influence to
aidthim 'ow he has both. w And we
cannot believe that he w ill do less,, be
cause he has power to do more. He has
hitherto been an independent map. To
secure his independence, he has labored
hard in his profession. We cannot think
that he will cease to be so ; that he will
approach the throng withou t carrying his
principles, along 'with. him. It seems to
us tittle less than absurd, to say of a man,
whose hours devoted to the -advancement
of the best instruction of mankind, have
been freouentlystolen from needful rest,'

cause, the, accidental influence of office ;
or that he, of; whom we ,are told that 'lie

energy of life itself, seems on the very
verge of extinction,' -will now turn away
fromhis glorious work," and so blast the

heretofore, in the same great cause ; 'and
