commonly strong and vigorous ; in the lat- 11

^ tor part of his life bo inclined to corpul- Ponce. His head was capacious; well ahap- e<

ed, and set on a nock which roso liko a 1'

pillar from his ample chost His foreheadwas high, broad at the temples, and ciwed P

by veius extending down to tho eye-brows,which swelled whenerer be was angry or ^

eyes, arched eyebrows, which oearly met, a

' ">uth large and flexible indicative of «lo- ^

cjucnce, very white teeth, sowiuwbet parted jB<

end irregular; bines hair, which waved, j ^without a curl, on his shoulders, and a long jand very fall band.

His deportment,in general, was calm andequitable; ho sometimes indulged in pleas- ^an try; but more oomtaonly was grave and ^dignified, though he is said to have pontes- jased a smile ofcaptivating sweetness, llis ;acomplexion wss more ruddy thsn is usual v;
