Such a stranger as this may perhaps pass in the crowd unknown, ' although not unnoticed ; but he bears with him in his breast such thoughts as would enrich any mind. His lips are sealed to us, and his ignorance of our habits may cut him off from intimate intercourse with those around him : but the consci- ousness of what he has assisted to perform, keeps a warm glow in his exiled heart. He feels with rapture a living principle throbbing and reviving in his bosom, such as his fathers bore ; and ...recognises the spirit of Greece. He loves to recall the impetuous pulse which gushed through his heart, when he took his stand at some of the gates of that renowned country, and aided to save her again from destruction, by such deeds as in ancient days were repaid by centu- ries of fame. The feelings of a patriot who has struggled, and not in vain, for his country, ever have been an abundant reward for his labours and his suf- ferings ; but surely a magnanimous heart would set lightly by any trials which would identify him with the ancient heroes.
