BROOK IANA. VOL. I. " IT may be juftly said, that all the writings of Brooke, breathe the pureft fpirit of liberty and piety; they are calculated to lift man out of meannefs and dejection, to foothe him with a profpect of native excellence, to drive fervile fear at a diftance, to enlarge and ennoble his soul, and to infpire him with sublime and celeftial ideas that bear him far above the human state." DrSpratt. 1804. |
