Mr. Fox is manly, Mr. Pitt reserved; Mr. Fox has dignity, Mr. Pitt caution: Mr. Fox is liberal, Mr. Pitt prudent: Mr. Fox would save the empire by the application of such measures as its exigencies require; Mr. Pitt, it is presumed, would attempt the same, but would do it by cold and careful systems, the effects of which are ever exceedingly precarious.
