It a one, in which every American Bit feel a deep interest, and a laudable pride iMtiooal work, which, if conducted with an ability, adequate to the occasion, cannot but be BBioently strriceable to the cause of truth and justice, by ranmrins klind, unworthy and unfunded prejudices whkh have taken too deep and too axtetuive a bold on Europeans, both as to the sseutal aud physical powers of the inha rf the western world. How desirous must be every lover of his country, who feels as fee ought for her honor aud her welfare, that such a task sbouM not be confided to unskilful or in competent How anxmus that the first art fats should be employed on the mechanical part meant painter, sculptor and engraver? But what increasing anxiety that Uie biographical department should be committed to a man equal to the high office? If is not enough that he thould possess the learning of a scholar, the experience of a man of the world, or the style of a polished writer but he must unite all these qualification, and, if he adds the power of just discrimination to a rigid impartiality, and a stern' integrity, he may then be pronownced competent fcr the arduous task. After the most attentive perusal of the sketches before for they pro less to be nothing more than sketches, we feel no difficulty in congratulating the author, who ever he may be, on the successful accomplish ment of what he has undertaken. We do not mean, however, to pronounce his labors fault less that would not be praise but flattery and 1 1 ni 1 I to wnicn, ne nimscu, win uhcoiici, doe not extend his pretensions.

And when he alleges haste, as an excuse for deficiency, 1 must UU him, that, in rods a work as this, hate, although a salvo for pride, is utterly inadmissible asan Lift Hamilton. By universal Alexander Hamilton was one of the great est men, not only of the country, but of the age which he lived. Nor were his virtues inferior to hit intellectual endowments. Whether morally or physically considered, his mind was alike gigantic and illustrious Were we even to enlarge the field of our research, embracing within its compass every country and age which the light of history per nits us to examine, we should find but few nidi. Tiduals that could rival him in greatness.

Such characters rort nantes in gurgite xaito are but thinly scattered along the spacious stream of human existence; Were we allowed the use Of a brighter, and we, therefore, Uiink a more financier he was acknowledged to be without a rival 1 in his talents for war be was believed to be inferior to Washington alone. To these we may add, thai in his qualifications as a writer, he was eminently great. Endowments so brilliant, with attainments so wide, multifarious ad lofty have but rarely fallen to the portion of a mortal. Yet, with these he had none of the ecceuiri cities, irregularities and that oftentimes follow in the train of greatness. His mind and his habits were in a high degree orderly, tern 1 orate and methodical.

To his powers alone, stupendous as they were, he never committed the performance of his duty on any occasion of interest or importance. Preparatory to acting, he bestowed on his subject all the attention that woold have been requisite in a man of common abilities. He studied it patiently, till he tho roughly comprehended it. Hence, even in the consumately great The sketch concludes in the following man Although in person below the middle sta ture, and somewhat deficient in eleganee of figure, General Hamilton possessed a very striking and manly appearance. By the mwt superficial observer he could never be regarded as a com mon His head, which was large, was formed on the finest model, resembling somewhat the Grecian Antique.

His forehead was spacious and elevated, his nose projecting but incliniug to the aquiline, his eyes grey, keen at all time, and, when animated by debate, intole rably piercing, and his mouth and chin well proportioned and handsome. These two latter, though not his strongest, were his most pleading features and the form of his mouth was expres sive of eloquence more especially of persuasion. He was remarkable for a deep depression between his nose and forehead, and a contraction of his brows, which gave to the upper part of his couutenance an air of sternness. The lower part was the emblem of mildness and beuignity. In his dress he was plain, in his deposition so cial in his manners easy and affable in his affections warm in his friendships steady in his feelings ardent and in his general deport ment a well bred gentleman.

It may be mentioned here, since it has not been done in a more suitable place, that his elo quence was altogether peculiar and unique. It consisted in the most rich and splendid elocution, united to the closest logical reasoning. A syllo gism from him was as touching as a hope from any other speaker. Although he never sought for a figure and seldom introduced one, his speeches were as brilliant as if they had been composed of nothing but jewels of oratory. Every thing he uttered, having been digested, and assimilated, partook of the diamond qualities of his mind.

In him, therefore, reasoning and elocution united their powers to constitute eloquence of the loftiest kind. Such was Hamilton the soldier of the revo it. miht naif. that, hkestarsoll 0 .1. 1 ..11.

In every department 01 nature 11 is tmall bodies alone who are crowded together. In the whole course of their duration, Greece produced but one Aristotle, and Rome but one Cicero.

Other men of. eminence they possessed in abundance but none of mental attainments sufficiently great to give rise to epochs in human knowledge. If, in characters truly illustrious, certsUn countries have, in modern times, been more prolific, still, in relation to the world at large, the rule of their production at long intervals remains unbroken. In England, France and America, alone, have such personages appeared in quicker succession. It is in these por tions of the globe, that within a shorter space than usual, a Bacon and a Locke, a Milton and a Newton, a Voltaire and a Frankliu, a Washing ton and a Hamilton, have arisen to shed a lustre on human nature.

In other regions whole cen turies pass away, and no such intellectual lumi naries appear. In the character of the subject of this notice, xtiuug discovered from his youth that is not Of more than ordinary magnitude. In the whole history of man, we find but few parallels to the precocity of his powers and attainments. It will. hereafter, appear, that at the age of eighteen he was conspicuous among statesmen of primary Standing is the discussion of topics of the weight iest concern.

But ample and brilliant as was his early promise, it was even more, perhaps, than realized by the performances of his riper years. The versatility of his powers was as wonderful as his strength. To the transaction of all mat ten that were ever submitted he showed himielf competent and on every point of difficulty and moment, he was Qualified to become great. What Others learnt by experience he saw by tuition what they atchieved by persevering labor, he weuld accooipU 'h 'a single exertion. Hence 4 Ihe eminence, 'and the surprising ra pidity with which he endued himself master, not only of new and intricate points, but even of en tire branches of science.

WKhia the tjihefe of our own knowledge, or in tlie records of society, it is usual to find indi viduals who are distinguished in the different walks in the forum, the senate, the cabinet, or the field but a single character, pre eminent them all, constitutes a prodigy of human great ness. Yet such a character was the penra.age Vt are coi. idf.ring. He contained within him. soil qualities that would have communicated lus tre to many.

He retired poor from an office, which, without peculation, or any act that would have amounted to a breach of public trust might have rendered him as distinguished for wealth as he was for the riches of the mind. Flis faults for, being human, he had faults are lost amidst his virtu exercised, or forgotten With what pleasure do I transcribe the above just eulogium, as my memory bears testimony to the fidelity of the delineation Had the writer known him more intimately, the eulogium had been more ample Those only, wlio were his intimate friends, know with what readiness he could apply the faculties of his illuminated miud and to those only, was known the tenderness of a heart, thut melted into tears at another's woe.
