That character is upon the whole respectable: it would be unfair to
attribute to the nation at large the vices and follies of only one class
of individuals. Those persons from whom it is candid to take a general
estimate do credit to their country. That they are a people learned,
lively, and ingenious, the admirable authors they have produced will be
an eternal monument; witness their Swift, Sterne, Congreve, Boyle,
Berkeley, Steele, Farquhar, Southerne, and Goldsmith. Their talent for
eloquence is felt, and acknowledged in the parliaments of both the
kingdoms. Our own service both by sea and land, as well as that
(unfortunately for us) of the principal monarchies of Europe, speak their
steady and determined courage. Every unprejudiced traveller who visits
them will be as much pleased with their cheerfulness, as obliged by their
hospitality; and will find them a brave, polite, and liberal people.
