To use the homely but apt simile of McFingal, "The will's confirmed by treatment horrid, As hides grow harder when they're curried." They were wronged, and they told the world of it. Unlike Shakespeare's cardinal, they did not die without a sign. They branded, by their fierce epithets, the foreheads of their persecutors more deeply than the sheriff's hot iron did their own.
The old gentleman opposite all at once asked me if I ever read anything better than Pope's "Essay on Man"? Had I ever perused McFingal? He was fond of poetry when he was a boy, his mother taught him to say many little pieces, he remembered one beautiful hymn; and the old gentleman began, in a clear, loud voice, for his years,

The popularity of McFingal was extraordinary, and it had an important influence on the great events of the time. Trumbull was a tutor in Yale College, and attempted to introduce an improved course of study and discipline into the institution, which met with much opposition.
His most finished poem, "The Progress of Dullness," was hardly less serviceable to the cause of education than his McFingal was to that of liberty.

Poet, b. at Waterbury, Conn., was a lawyer, and became a judge. He wrote much verse, his principal productions being The Progress of Dulness and McFingal , written in support of the Revolution in imitation of Hudibras. It is rather a miscellany than a systematic treatise, but contains much original and acute thinking.
The prose-men, such as Jefferson, rose nearer the height of the great argument than did the men of rhyme. Here and there the struggle inspired a brisk ballad like Francis Hopkinson's "Battle of the Kegs," a Hudibrastic satire like Trumbull's "McFingal," or a patriotic song like Timothy Dwight's "Columbia."
I used to think my old mammy was handsome." "How interesting your life must have been! I should like to hear about it." Washington was about settling himself into his narrative style, when Mrs. Gen. McFingal caught his eye. "Have you been at the Capitol to-day, Mr. Hawkins?" Washington had not. "Is anything uncommon going on?" "They say it was very exciting. The Alabama business you know. Gen.
