In reference, however, to those individuals whose characters are yet nmtamped by the fist of posterity, the Editor has, in general, taken his own views and among other articles or which he is amenable, both in sentiment and in composition, are those on Byron, Adam Clarke, Crabbe the poet, 850. &c.; the facts of which are derived from the respective lives te cen tl y published of those eminent men.
