There could scarcely be any leaders where all were equally ready to go forward ; and in an assembly so harmonious in their views as the first Congress, the characteristics peculiar to each member were not easily to be gather- ed from his votes. It has happened, in respect to a (ew of those illus- trious men, that retiring when their noble task was performed, into the shade of private life, they soon became overlooked and forgotten by their compeers, 154 SfONE. whose earnest attention was engros...sed with the con- sideration of the fearful events that were occurring near them, and in which were involved their own safe- ty, property and freedom, as well as the honour and interests of their country. In such instances, the immediate friends have usu- ally cherished the recollection of all the peculiarities in disposition or fortune that are ascribable to the re- tiring and modest patriot ; and however barren of in- cident his life may have been, there is still some- thing to be gathered with which a natural and ration- al curiosity may be gratified.
