Monro ; heisa little, old, and very plain Man, of a thin flender Body; heLath been subject to this Infirmity, as he told us, from his very Infäncy.He is very loath to have it obferved, andthereforecasts down his Eyes whenhe walksin theStreets, and turns themaside when he is in Company. Wehad made several Trials before he perceived our Design ; and afterward hadmuch ado to make him stay. We Caresi’d him as much as we could, andhad thcn the opportunity to observe, that he Imitated not only the scratchingof the Head, but also the wringing of the Hands, wiping of the Nose,stretching forth of the Arms, &c. And we needed not strain Complementperfwade him to be covered; for he still put off and on as he saw us do ;and all this wich so much exactneß, and yet with such a natural and unaffectedAir, that we couldjiot so much as suspect he did it on Design.

His Face, Arms, and Legt, are perfectly Black:He has all along been very Sprightly and Active, and has more Ingenuitytoo, than is cnmmon to that Generation.
