Mr. Guthrie, in his Efay on tragedy, contrafts this foliloquy of Hamlet with that of Cato, thus. "The speech of Cato is that of a fcholar, a philofopher, and a man of virtue: all the fentiments of fuch a speech are to be acquired by instruction, by reading, by converfation; Cato talks the language of the porch and academy. Hamlet, on the other hand, fpeaks that of the human heart, ready to enter upon a deep, a dreadful, a decifive act. His is the real language of mankind, of its highest to its loweft order; from the king to the cottager, from the philofopher to the peafant. It is a language which a man may speak without learning; yet no learning can improve, nor philofophy mend it. This cannot be faid of Cato's fpeech. It is dictated from the head rather than the heart; by courage rather than nature. It is the fpeech of predetermined refolution, and not of human infirmity: it is the language of uncertainty, not of perturbation; it is the language of doubting; but of fuch doubts as the speaker is prepared to cut asunder, if he cannot refolve them. The words of Cato are not like thofe of Hamlet, the emanations of the foul: they are therefore improper for a foliloquy, where the difcourfe is fuppofed to be held with the heart, that fountain of truth. Cato feems instructed as to all he doubts: while irrefolute, he appears determined; and bespeaks his quarters, while he questions whether there is lodging. How different from this is the conduct of Shakespear on the fame occafion!" On On flattery, and an even minded man, p. 135. 7. 26. to 39. p. 136. 1. x. to 5. Midnight, p. 144. 1. 33. to 41.

There are in it many excellencies which could not be introduced in this work, depending on circumstances, fo nicely adapted, no reader can relish them extracted from the tragedy, which is itfelf one compleat beauty.
