GRAY'S LETTERS
"What has occurred to me, from
the slight inspection of his letters in which my undertaking has
engaged me, is that his mind had a large grasp; that his
curiosity was unlimited, and his judgement cultivated; that he
was a man likely to love much where he loved at all, but that he
was fastidious and hard to please. His contempt, however, is
often employed, where I hope it will be approved, upon scepticism
and infidelity."
