tor Cromwell we are told waa flow 10 the conception .of hi» idea» while he (poke, and diflufe and per.pleaed in the delivery.Butin Chatham, when he ! role to fpeak, there wata fervor and vehemence of imagination, a headlong torrent of word», and a pow-r of found, which dealrned and flunued, and confounded tm opponents.In the man himlrtf, 1 well remember, there waa a native dignity of form, w hirh commanded reverence and fai h ; and by fi.ling tv* he.rrr» with h dy awe, pr(-di(pofea i them to hit purpote.With power* iitt .r calculated toinilmdo; delight, there waa a vehemence of contention, an awakening energy of manner, an impatlioned ardour, a confident and bo.itful exul talion, which vitlory only rendered more ferociout and u\u2019 governable.He often role to di-outy in the d mation .»f anpla ile , Kill ftener blazed to fierce fubjeff can afpire.To hi* other original and flluf.triouaqualrtiea, wn added that felicity of fortune, w hich hilt up the meafure of all pre-eminent great-nef*.In ht» charaüer at mmtfler, fuch waa the greatnefa and elevation of hi* (pint, like Sctpio, he could revive expiring ardor, and fill men wiih a confidence of expefiation, which no mortal ourf-of nature evet did, or under any rifpicra, ever ought to inf pire.Thofe, however, who cunfider Chatham not at a firfl rate orator, but at ano:h r Dcinollhrnea, are greatly deceived.In Demolt-ti-nea, with a dignity which haa fcarcely b'-eu equalled, waa combined a fagseity and coolnefs, which can never be furpaffed.He, who afpirea only to be rapid, vehement, and fonoroua, without d feendmg to platn narrative, cool flaiement, clofe argument, facnfice* reafon to paflmn, and touchea Oil the piecindta of a Iran ic eloquence.It wat the lot of Chatham to owe whatever he polfrffed to gentua, exerctfed by praâice alone.The corfç.queuce waa natural.With infinite fljcncy and auiinaiioii he tufui ed the fate of Galba, and while breathingconfuming firea* a fpeaxer, all ihe f >rce ai d all the bi.ae of hi* elix]uence waa cxuuguifhed upon paper.far diiierent ia Burke.To wing hi* fi ght to the fublime of eloquence, he haa called in the labor* rf th* clolet.Buike would not that the fame of hit power* fliould be ctrcuinfct ibed Within (he fame poor liniiiaihat bound life;
