The Portrait Gallery, No. 3.
the excellencies we have recorded and which affects the force of the speaker ' s impressiveness , namely , afaeon deparler , an artistical pathos ( chiefly at the end of sentences ) which , although intended to produce a telling effect , does in truth create a contrary result . The tone of expression is too sermoniacal , and resembles the primitive quaintness of the " people called quakers , " rather than the pure eloquence of the head and heart , relying on their own natural resources .
We regret to observe that the impaired health of our brother has lately taken from his exertions something of their effect . His visage is " sicklied o ' er with the pale cast of thought , " evidencing the march of time , and the invasion of incipient infirmity . Although hhphysique is not now equal to his mental daring , nevertheless his deep devotion to Masonry enables the mind by its brilliant coruscations , to triumph over mere physical weakness : it animates principle , gives vigour to intellect , and energy to character .
Without egotism , our Brother Dr . Crucefix may say , " I have done the state some service , and they know it , " and despising the calumny of the few , whilst armed with the confidence of the many , he may as truly add , — " Let them do their spite . My services which I have done the signory shall out-tongue their complaints ; and my demerits may speak unhonneted to as proud a fortune as this that I have reached . " .
Upon looking at the ensemble of the foregoing picture , we are as faithful limners , pleased to be able to place such a portrait as this in our gallery ; which , for its general effect , must challenge the approbation of the just , and invite the criticism of the impartial . ITHURIEL .

" CTKATIANO speaks an infinite deal of nothing : more than any man in Venice . His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff ; you shall seek them all day ere you find them ; rind when you have them , they are not worth the search . " —Merchant of Venice . OUR Grand Secretary is supposed to be a great masonic authority—a learned Pundit in all things involved in dubiety ; but if he be so , he has lived to forget much that he had learnt . He will give you his opinion
