Such  imagination !  there  never  was  any  thing  Uko
it  that  ever  I  saw  or  heard  of.  His  puMiehedmt^
his  published  speeches,  give  you  no  idea  of  the
man— none  at  all.  He  was  a  machine  of  imagina-
tion, as  some  one  said  that  Piron  was  an  epigram*
matic  machine.
'  I  did  not  see  a  great  deal  of  Curran— only  in
1813 ;  but  I  met  him  at  home,  (for  he  used  to  call
on  me,)  and  in  society,  at  Mackintosh's,  Holland
House,  &c.,  &&,  and  he  was  wonderAil,  even  to  me,
who  had  seen  many  remarkable  men  of  the  time.
