Westward the course of empire takes its way, The first four acts already past, A fifth shall close the drama with the day, TIME'S NOBLEST OFFSPRING IS ITS LAST. Thus disappointed in his ambition of keeping a School for savage children, at a salary of a hundred pounds by the year, he was received, on his return, with open arms by the philosophical queen, at whose metaphysical parties he made one, with Sherlock, who, as well as Smalridge, was his sup- porter, and with Hoadley, who, following Clar...ke, was his antagonist. By her influence he was made bishop of Cloyne. It is one of his highest boasts, that though of English extrac- tion, he was a true Irishman, and the first eminent Protestant, after the unhappy contest at the Revolution, who avowed his love for all his countrymen. He asked, "Whether their habitations and furniture were not more sordid than those of the savage Americans 1" ' " Whether a scheme for the wel- fare of this nation should not take in the whole inhabitants ?" and, " Whether it teas a vain attempt to project the flourishing of our Protestant gentry, exclusive of the bulk of the natives ?"t He proceeds to promote the reformation suggested in this preg- nant question by a series of Queries, intimating, with the utmost skill and address, every reason that proves the necessity and the safety, and the wisest mode of adopting his suggestion.
