Excerpt from The Works of Henry Mackenzie, Esq., Vol. 2 of 3: The Man of the World He was first cousin to a gentleman who pos sessed a considerable estate in our county, born to no fortune, and not much formed by nature for acquiring one: he found pretty early that he should never be rich, but that he might possibly be hap py; and happiness to him was obtained without effort, because it was drawn from sources which it required little exertion to supply: trifles were the boundaries of his desire, and their attainment the goal of his felicity. A certain neatness at all those little arts in which the soul has no share, an im moderate love of sport, and a still more immode rate love of reciting its progress, with the addition of one faculty which has some small connection with letters, to wit, a remarkable memory for puzzles and enigmas, made up his character; and he enjoyed a privilege uncommon to the happy, that no one envied the means by which he attain ed what every one pursues.
