In point of intellect, as well as disposition, great variety was of course perceptible among the different individuals of this tribe; but few of them were wanting in that respect. Some, indeed, possessed a degree of natural quickness and intelligence which perhaps could hardly be surpassed in the natives of any country. Iligliuk, though one of the least amiable, was particularly thus gifted.
What wretch would groan Beneath the galling load of power, or walk Upon the slippery pavements of the great! Somerville. The success of Agric'ola in Britain affected Domit'ian, with an extreme degree of envy.
