These fictitious supposititious letters are written in his own name, as often as in another's; for of all the impersonations, ancient and modern, historical and poetic, which the impersonated genius of the modern arts had to borrow to speak and act his part in, there is no such mask, no so deep, thick-woven, impenetrable disguise, as that historical figure to which his own name and person is attached; the man whom the Tudor and the Stuart admitted to their secrets, the man whom the Tudor tolerated, whom the Stuart delighted to honor.
Here, under the crest of a protecting hill, where the pine thickets afforded him shelter from the wind, that gallant soldier had "set up his rest" that is to say a canvass fly, one end of which was closed with a thick-woven screen of evergreens.
