In those countries where it is supposed
that all our ideas have their origin in exter-
nal objects, it is natural to set a higher value
on the observance of graces or forms, the
empire of which is placed without us: but
where, on the other hand, men feel con-
vinced of the immutable laws of moral ex-
istence, society has less power over every
individual; men treat of every thing with
themselves; and what is deemed essential,
as well in the productions of thought as
in the actions of life, is, that they spring
from inward
conviction
and spontaneous
feeling.

With the death of
Gustavus
Adolphus, the enemy had formed new
hopes; and however gloomy might be the situation of his affairs after
the battle of Lutzen, still the death of his dreaded rival was an event

encourage him to the prosecution of the war.

Of living water from the centre rose,
Whose bubbling did a genial freshness fling,
And soft
voluptuous
couches breathed repose,
Ali reclined, a man of war and woes:
Yet in his lineaments ye cannot trace,
While Gentleness her milder radiance throws
Along that aged venerable face,
The deeds that lurk beneath, and stain him with disgrace.
