[ 505 ] WALK E R's HIBERNIAN MAGAZINE: O R, Compendium of Entertaining Knowledge, For OCTOBER, 1786. CHARACTER of the late KING of PRUSSIA. (With a full Length Portrait (on AVING in our laft (page 455) given Hemoirs of that northern hero, his late Pruffian Majefty, we now add his character, tranflated from the French of the celebrated Maupertuis, who, by a long refidence with that King, was enabled to delineate him faithfully. The most faithful and fcrupulous hiftorian would be the beft panegyrift of Frederic the Third, King of Pruffia. I pretend to be neither; I only attempt the outlines of his character, which even cotemporary jealoufy, envy and malignity, are forc ed to admire, and which more impartial pofterity, if it can believe, will almoft adore. By the mere natural strength and fuperiority of his genius, without experience, he broke out at once a general and a hero: he distinguished with precifion, what inferior minds never difcover at all, the difference between great difficulties and impoffibility; and being never difcouraged by the former, has often feemed to execute the latter. Indefatigably laborious and active, coolly intrepid in action, he difcerns, as by intuition; feizes with rapidity, and improves with fkill, the fhort, favourable, and often decifive moments of battle. Modeft and magnanimous after victory, he becomes the generous protector of his fubdued, and captive enemies. Refolute and undejected in misfortunes, he has arifen fuperior to diftreffes, and struggled with difficulties, which no courage, no conftancy but his own would have refifted, nor could have furmounted. But as he cannot always command the fuccefs, which he always deferves, he may perhaps be obliged to yield at laft to the fuperior numbers of almost all Europe combined against him; their legions may perhaps conquer, but his virtues must triumph, Hib. Mag, October, 1786. Horseback) of that Monarch.) As a King, he is a man, a citizen, a le giflator, and a patriot. His own extenfive mind forms all his plans of government, undebased by selfish minifterial interests and mifreprefentation. Juftice and humanity were his only minifters. In his own dominions he has reformed the law, and reduced it to equity, by a code of his own digefting. He has thrown cavil out of the fhifting and wavering scales of juftice, and poized them equally to all. Indulgent to the various errors of the human mind, because tainted with fo few himfelf, he has eftablifhed univerfal toleration; that decifive characteristic of true religion, natural juftice, social benevolence, and even good policy. He equally abhors the guilt of making martyrs, and the folly of making hypocrites. Greatly above all narrow local prejudices, he has invited and engaged by a general indifcriminating naturalization, people of all nations to fettle in his dominions: he encourages and rewards the industrious; he cherifhes and honours the learned; and man as man, wherever oppreffed by civil, or perfecuted by ecclefiaftical tyranny, finds a fure refuge in his fentiments of juftice and humanity, which the purple robe has not been able to fmother. A philofopher undazzled with the fplendour of the heroic parts of this character, may perhaps enquire after the milder and focial virtues of humanity, and feek for the man. He will find both the man and the philofopher too in Frederic, unallayed by the king, and unfullied by the warrior. A patron of all liberal arts and sciences, and a model of moft. In a more particular manner cultivating, adorning, and adorned by the Belles Lettres. His carljeft and first sfr attempt attempt was a refutation of the impious fyftem of Machiavel, that celebrated profeffor of political antiquity; nobly confcious that he might venture to give the world that public pledge of his future virtue. His memoirs, intended to ferve only as materials for a future hiftory of the houfe of Bradenburgh, are fuch as must neceffarily defeat his own purpofe, unless he will write the hiftory too himself. There are alfo fpecimens enough of his poetical genius, to fhew what he might be as a poet, were he not fomething greater and better. Neither the toils of war, nor the cares of government, engross his whole time, but he enjoys a confiderable part of it i in a a familiár and easy converfation with his equals, men. There the King is unknown, and what is more, unfelt.-Merit is the only diftinction in which his unafferted, but confeffed, and undecided fuperiority, flatters a mind formed like his much more delicately, than the always cafual, and often undeferved, fuperiority of rank and birth. But not to fwell an effay towards a character, to the bulk of a finifhed character, ftill lefs to that of a hiftory; I will conclude this fketch with this obfervation. Many a private man might make a great King, but where is the King who could make a great private man, except Frederick ?' 1 (To be concluded in our next.) British Theatre. The Newspapers.

A Comedy of three acts called "Tit for Tat," was performed, for the firft time, for the benefit of Mr. Palmer. Mr. Palmer being foon to be elevated to a Dramatic Throne, we confidered his choice of a new Play for his Benefit as a specimen of the talents for which he is to wield his fceptre. We were furprised that the Play was not new; but an alteration of an alteration from the French of Marivaux, which has been published under the title of Mutual Deception. The characters and fituations wanted novelty, but the dialogue was lively and rich; and it seemed to be greatly relished by the audience. Prologue to the Comedy of " Tit for Tat."
