proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile :
a merit much more cafil> praised than imi
lated. The art ni'ainuiiiig child en,whilft
at the fame time the Infant Genius is raif
eti and the Heart menrid, appears from
nis works to lie no contemptible effort of
the mind. Wherevei, the uti
lity of such an undertaking is acknowledg
ed, the reputation of Mr. Beiqtiin must
ever be held in delerved esteem.
" Happily fuchis the agreeable
I? at Mr. Heiquin's'ftyle a;id genius, that
it would be difficult to pronounce in what
department he excels : whether in the
lively or the pathetic; the simple language
of narrative, or the animated points of
conversation : whether in (hreWd remarks
upon private liie, or in florid defcciption
of the boauties of nature.
n Pieces of every various excellence
