private virtues will still be more beneficial, the more they are exalted into public. Nay, I own, my dear Sir, I am superstitious enough to believe, a religious prince, and a religious ministry, are, even in a political light, among the greatest blessings of a nation. Profligacy, with all its boasted benefits, I should dread to see connected with any department of the Public. It makes a plain man shudder to hear patriots bawling for the public good, while every action of their lives, perhaps, is an addition to the public guilt. Let us rather consider the virtues of a private life, as a pledge to the Public and think ourselves happy when our friends have given this pledge to their country.

Warmed with these sentiments, I beg you, my dear Sir, to believe me, with the greatest sincerity and esteem,

Your truly affectionate friend and servant,

WILL. GILPIN.
