Some Account of Philio Lindsay— Sensibility and Retirement Apt to Engender a Pernicious Philosophy. The thread which I have now to take up and weave into the history renuires that my narrative should f?o back for some years. It briefly con cerns the earlier fortunes of Pnllip Lindsay. His father emigrated from England and was established in Virginia about the year 1735, as a secretary to taste, and had soon built, upon a beautiful site, a neat and comfortable rustic dwelling, with such accommo dation as might render it a conveni ent and pleasant retreat during the hot months of the summer. The occupation which this new establishment afforded his family; the scope which its improvement gave to their taste; and the charms tnat intrinsically belonged to it. by degrees communicated to his house hold an absorbing interest in its em bellishment. His wife cherished this , ^ . tj „, aa , enterprise with a peculiar ardor. The the governor of the province, e i plans of improvement were hers; the a gentleman of good name and r ! garden, the lawns the groves, the tune. Philip was born within a y J j walks—all the little appendanges after this emigration. As [ which an assiduous taste might In- was th*‘n comparative.y a w Ide ; vent or a comfort seeking fancy and afforded but few facilities for ® j might imagine necessary, were taken i education education of youth, the son o under her charge; and one beauty secretary was sent at an ear y g . q U j c ] ; .iy following upon another, from to England where he roma. ne , day to day. evinced the dominion the exception ot an occasional visit, which & refined art may exercise bo hie parents, under the gu . . | with advantage over nature.

SU 1. however, this was j grudgingly given—as much fro u the inaptitude of his character, as from a secret consciousness, at bottom, that : it was contrary to the purpose that I l had induced him to s ek the shelter j of the woods. Unless, therefore, the i spur w as frequently app.ied to the side of his reluctant resolution, his zeal was apt to weary in its pace. or. to change my figure for one equa^y appropriate, to melt away in the sun- nv indolence of his temper. I have said that, during the ten derer years of the children, and up to the period of the loss of their mother, they had received the most unremitting attention from their par ents. The bereavement of his wife, the deep gloom that followed this 1 event, and the now engrossing char- S acter of the war. had In some de- | gree relaxed Lindsay’s vigilance over their nurture, although it had in no wise abated his affection for them; on the contrary, perhaps this was more concentrated than ever. Mil dred had grown up to the blossom-1 time of life, in the possession of ev ery personal attraction.
