From the. London Tinire
SIR ISAAC.NEWTON.
The' common idea of Neivtbn is veyl , vague.
.?
IrCirritfing.-to the earliest of .Irii • biographers )
. Pope exPres.ed n, desire to' 'Jaye) some " we.
••
woirs and clorraQer of him as a private imp."
Thp desire might still be eipretnied. 'We have
no intimacy with Netaco. Few "person's, it
asked to describe the character of the mitti,
Jjatifd say more "than this—thirst he was exceed-
ingly absent,. and that be was imperturbable,
almoil' to stupidity, perhaps quoting as an
illustration of the latter characteristic the
apocryphal story of •the philosopher and his
dOg, . is, .not- . saying_
much, and yet the . half of it isincorreot. ;The
ootemporaries of Newton desorihe him as'any
. thing but imperttirhable on bertain,-,rocoasions.
•Locke.deciared "that "he was' men to.
deal with," but "a little too :to to raise in
.. himself suspicions -where-there-is-no-ground."
Flamsteed,always "found him insidious - , ambi ,
tious, and excesevely covetuona of praise and
' impatient of contra • tion.."
z
Whision,,dOscrlbes hi s equally impatient.
_ and.of the_most,fearful,-oautious and suspicious'
temper that - be ever ' knew. D'Alembert gives
the French idea of when he says:. "In
•i England, people were content with NeWtonls
, being the :greatest genius, of his • age; in
France.one would have wished him to be Jim
, fable." If Newton was. really anamiable,. It
was chiefly a negative unamiability. He was
• uneocial, be was reserved, be was absent, he
was silent; in the course - of five years his
secretary, Humphrey Newton, never saw him
laugh but once, nhd that once it' was impossi•
ble, to comprehend- why-t---Worst—of---alli-to-a
-• Frenehman i • he had none of the graces—could
not, like Pcintenelle, begin a treatise on'astro
nomy
beauty of , day to a blonde, and the beauty of
night toabrunette: The 'Only qualities in
NLWton that were positively; unamiable were,
his snspicious temper and his' impatience of
contradiction. • All,siso was negatives his
goodneeke.veu was neptive, with the excep-
tion'of his piety and veracity. He Was good — ,'
becaus's he was passionlese ; and ho was not
lovable betause he was, voidsotemotion
