That administration, though com- posed of some of the most enlightened and virtuous men of the day, was totally unequal to the exigencies of the times; and fell to pieces according to an expression of Burke on another subject, " by the necessities of its own conformation. " So far from being guilty, of anything underhand, his attack at the council board was as open as Shaftesbury's abandonment of the Cabal, or Thurlow's out- break against Mr. Pitt.
- ( 58 ) Lord Northington was fond of literatu...re, and kept up his acquaintance with the Greek and Latin classics long after the period when the business of life draws most men away from these delightful pursuits. He was also something of a proficient in Hebrew. His favourite English author was Clarendon, the bluntness and loyalty of whose character he always admired, and in whose dignity of style he delighted. His daughter Lady Bridget, however, whom he employed latterly to read to him, used to declare that she derived much greater pleasure from the little anecdotes which she picked out of his briefs, than from all the stately periods of the historian.
