versatility and strength of the human mind, and also in one sense of
the length of human life, if we make a good use of our time. There is
room enough to crowd almost every art and science into it. If we pass
'no day without a line,' visit no place without the company of a book,
we may with ease fill libraries or empty them of their contents. Those
who complain of the shortness of life, let it slide by them without
wishing to seize and make the most of its golden minutes. The more
we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we
have. Mr. Brougham, among other means of strengthening and enlarging
his views, has visited, we believe, most of the courts, and turned
his attention to most of the constitutions of the continent. He is, no
doubt, a very accomplished, active-minded, and admirable person."

Lord Brougham married, in 1816, Mary Anne, relict of John Slade, Esq.,
of Hill street, Berkeley-square; by whom he has one daughter. Lady
Brougham's maiden name was Eden: she is nearly related to the Auckland
and Handley families. At her marriage with Mr. Slade, in 1808, she
was accounted an extremely beautiful young woman; and she was still
possessed of great personal charms at the period of her second union.
Lady Brougham had by her former marriage a son, who inherits his
father's estate, and is an. officer in the army, and a daughter. Lady
Brougham brought no property to her husband but her jointure of £1,500
a-year, and the house No. 5, Hill-street.

Lord Brougham was born in 1779, and is, consequently, in his
fifty-second year.
