Excerpt from Fitzosborne's Letters, on Several Subjects
Under the tuition of his venerable father, and with the advantage of his good example, it is not difficult to suppose that he greatly improved in every estimable quality and though we are deprived, through his advanced age, of all information from the companions of his earlier years, we may safely conjecture, that they were so well husbanded, and sedu lously applied to the acquisition of literature and science, as to lay a solid foundation for that maturity and distinction in taste and judgment, which he afterwards displayed. He is said to have been as amiable and engaging in his progress to manhood, as he certainly became respectable and even worthy of reve rence in the later stages of his protracted existence.
