" In his challenge of Hotspur, his defiance was equally .gallant and modest : in his combat with that Nobleman, his fire was tempered with moderation ; and his reflections on the death of the great rebel, generous and pathetic. The Hotspur of Booth, though a noble portrait of courage, humour, and gallantry, was not superior to...
