Lord Jeffrey concurring. ' The thoughts, ' he said, ' which such a monument should suggest, even to those most opposed to the views and opinions of its founders, are naturally of a solemn and sobering character. And if, in some, they may stUl be too much mixed up with feelings of anger at supposed injustice, and in others of immerciful reprobation of offences, of which the mischief and the penalties have been long ago consummated, I can only say that the blame will be with those who continue, o...n either side, to cherish sentiments so uncharitable ; and that, if there be any place where the iofluences of the scene in which they are suggested are likely to soften them down to a more humane and in- dulgent standard, it is when that scene is laid where the ■wicked cease from troubling, and the weary rest ; and where everything should remind us of our own fraU mortality, and of that awfid Seat of Judgment before which none of us can hope to be justified — except tlu-ough mercy. ' This solemn and touching admonition may prepare us for the fast- approaching sequel of our narrative.
