Dr.John had the one in exquisite perfection; and because I have admitted that he was not endowed with the other in equal degree, the reader will considerately refrain from passing to an extreme, and pronouncing him _un_sympathizing, unfeeling: on the contrary, he was a kind, generous man.

Make your need known, his hand was open.

Put your grief into words, he turned no deaf ear.

Expect refinements of perception, miracles of intuition, and realize disappointment.

This night, when Dr.
John entered the room, and met the evening lamp, I saw well and at one glance his whole mechanism.
To one who had named him "slave," and, on any point, banned him from respect, he must now have peculiar feelings.
