But the merit ot the gift is enhanced by the promp titude and sincerity with which it was given. An hundred guineas to a charity from school- boys,announc es such genuine pati iotifm, fucli in nate and laudable liberality, that the nation itfelf, high as (he (lands in the eftituauon of the world, is honored by the donation. There is vigor and manhood, as well as generolity, in the very idea, and which'none but British Youth would have conceived or executed. It is therefore, with a pleasure bordering on enthusiasm, that we record the munificent donation of one hundred guineas given by the young gentlemen at Eton, to the (b ciety for the relief f the widows and children of thole gallant men who may fall in the lervice of their country ; and when we cotifider the spirited connections of many of thele young gentlemen, and that they ate destined to the cabinet or the field, we cannot but feel an hap py preface, that the British contti tution'will be tranfmirred pure and unimpaired to the latest posterity. Weftininfter, it is said, is follow ing this example but Eton has the glory of" having taken the lead on this, uccafion.
