From the Londok Courier.
Mi. FOX
Was undoubtedly one of thegreatcft men
this country hath ever produced—he poflefT
cd genius, political eloquence almelt without
an equal, and knowledge various, deep and
extensive—his command over a popular af
fcnfbljr was astonishing ; with the disadvan
tage of a voice, at times difeordant, his elo
quence was irrcfifliblc—it was vehement, it
was dignified, it was at times sublime—it
toufed the most flujgifh, it warmed the cold,
est—it was a tomnt Co impetuous, that it
hurried and swept along his hearers in fpito
almost of tbcmfelves. His miad had avail,
nefs, an extent, a grasp which took in at
•re view the whole of a fubjtft—he saw
with a glance the weak arid the strong parts
ol his antsgonift's position ; he had great
clearness of conception and arrangement { he
had more than any other man the faculty of
fimplefying the mod abstruse derails, and of
analyting the molt complicated. Whilst ha
hud a lllength which made him able to con
tend with the molt powerful, he had a plain- t
nefs of roafoning w hich made him intelligi
ble to the commoueft understanding: he had
a peculiar method of iatpeeffing any favorite
point. If he saw. and he saw in a moncnr 9
JtfjTrhe dirt View m which he had placed it*
had not been attended with the dtfired ef
fect, be produced it in another (hape, and
another till he had finally fuccteded : Ho
had great dexterity in debate, and knew
better than any man how to improve his
advantage over an antagonist who had left
himfclf open to attack. If he hid less
fplcndor, Id's richness of imagery, less pro
fufioncf metaphor, less poetic fife than Mr*
Burke; if he had less elegance, less copi
oufrrcfs than Mr. Pitt, he had ftrongcr rca
foning powers, he bud more mind, than
either of them. It has been affirmed, incon.
ftderately we think, that he was too litrl#
solicitous, too catclcfs of his language ; his
language, however, would always (land the
tell of the molt critical examination) it was
the Left adapted to the expreifiion, of the
particular idea or meaning he wished to con.
vcy ; it was pure, unadulterated English
If hs did not poiTefs the wit of Mr. Burke
or Mr. Sheridan, or the sarcasm of Mr.
Pitt, he was not deftitut of cither of those
qualities, but he really employed them.
He seemed te disdain the idea of fretting
his antagonist w ith a feather, when he could
knock him down with a club. He had an
astonishing memory. Often after a debate
of many hours have we heard him reply to
the arguments, of every speaker on the op
pofitc fide, not only in the order in which
they spoke, but in the order in w hich they
arranged their arguments. His manner, if
not graceful, was peculiarly imprclfive.-
He animated the hearer, because the hearer
saw he was animated himfclf. His voice,
though flirill, aflifled wonderfully in roofing
and fixing the attention of the house. In
the heat and ardor of debate his eye was
peculiarly commanding. He was always
grcaicft in reply.—it was then, when so hard
prdfed and assailed by his antagonists, that
all the man was routed, and all the powers
and faculties of his great mind were brought
into adien. It was when he turned upon
bis purifier# that he became mod formidable,
St loth the chafed lieu
Upon the daring hantj/nan that
hat galled hint,
Then makes him nothing.
He had one advantage, and a great ad
vantage it was, over bis iiluftrious antagon
ist, dial he had a mare intimate acquain
tance with men and things—that he had a
deeper knowledge of the world, had had
more familiar converfc with mankind, and
had studied more deeply th« human charac
ter. Mr. Pitt had never the time to make
mankind his study—he pafifed through none
of the istermediatc gradations and steps
which ftatefrncn generally pass through—he
was elevated at once to the highest ftation—
it was but one step from the college to the
cabinet. He was raised to the government
of a great empite, when all the knowledge
he had of the manners, habits, passions, and
prejudices of mankind had bees derived from
bocks. Engroflcd inceff.mil/ from his
youth to hi* death by the duties and details
of his official situation, be was forced to set
mankind too much through the mist of offi
cial reports.
Many men ptffeffed as intimate an ac
quaintance with the claflkks as Mr Fox, but
no man was more conversant in ancient and
modern hiitory. He is said to have devoted
some of the left years of his life to a hiftory
of the revolution of i£BS—a work which
is >at wanted, and which no man was fw
qualified to undertake. We fear it is left
Ui.fi nivhed.
Os his temper there is but one opinion—he
had much kindneft, mveh good will; hit
facial difpsfiuon and the plcafar.try of hit
private conversation arc umverfally acknow
ledged. He derived no flight advantage
from the contrail which his friends drew be*
tween him and his great antagonift —ther*
was said to be more of bumanne/t , if w*
