[Ordered to be printed at various times.] The use of knowledge is to correct the agination; to control that ever active culty, which rarely thinks of recurring accurate data, to support its inferences, busies itself in drawing conclusions, dependent of correct information, and nazes itself in wandering and wonder. g, in supposing and wishing; till, at ngth, its wishes become hopes, its hopes come expectations; its expectations beme certainties: and then-if these rtainties be not realized, discontent and elancholy take the place of excursive ncy; and the persuasion that all is lost, VOL. VI. [Lit. Pan. Sept. 1809.] fast closes the mind against the admission of hope, and incapacitates it for perseverance. We have repeatedly seen with pain, this extreme vibration in the public mind, in the course of the last twelve months. We have endeavoured to moderate the national fervour, when it gave a loose to joy; we have equally endeavoured to soothe the national grief, when it proceeded almost to despondency. We have held a middle course on several occasions of a public nature; and, on reviewing our conduct, we judge that we did our duty to our country more effectually than those who, by following the impulse of the moment, were now elated, and now dejected, beyond expression. Nothing is more easy, we might say more gratifying, than for a Briton, sitting at ease, by his fire-side, and after a plentiful repast, to criticise the plans and proceedings of the rulers of his country : and he charitably comprizes too, in his speculations the governing powers of foreign states. To describe what ought to have been done; how it ought to have been done; and what ought to have been the result of it, when done, includes neither difficulty nor hazard. Far be it from us to suggest the smallest diminution of any enjoyment which can be derived from the examination of British statesmen by British subjects; because, it is possible that the exa miners may possess, and also may apply, a general knowledge of the state of their own country: but this very knowledge may contribute to lead them astray when discoursing on other countries, the state of which must not be estimated by that of their own. The inadvertence of estimating the condition and abilities of other countries, by the power of our own, is not confined to those ranks of our population, from which it might be supposed that circumstances withheld the means of correct information.
