SKETCH OF THE LIFE 
 
 OF THE 
 
 HON. G. R. MINOT, ESQ 
 
 To the greater part of men, the historj' of a private 
 citizen is uninteresting. It is generally too barren of inci- 
 dent to afford novelty, or excite curiosity ; and its, examples 
 are too obscure to enlist pi'ejndice, or to gratify malice. 
 There are some, however, who delight to trace the tenour 
 of a well spent life ; to whom its progress from innocence 
 to virtue is at once pleasing and instructive : and when 
 virtues are freed from the suspicion of weakness, by an 
 alliance with a vigorous and comprehensive mind, they 
 become interesting and worthy of observation — on account 
 of their singularity, at least — for, in looking round among 
 the living and the dead, we are compelled to acknowledge, 
 that we find very few substantially and independently good. 
 
 George Eichaeds Minot, the subject of our present 
 memoir, was the youngest son of Mr. Stephen Minot, a 
 very respectable merchant. He was born in Boston, in 
 1758. His youth presents a series of depressing embar- 
 rassments, which thwarted the inclination he discovered at 
 an early age for a learned profession. The fortune of his 
 father was straitened by unsuccessful adventures ; and the 
 political condition of our country, at that time extremely 
 
4 SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF . . 
 
 unpropitious to literary occupations^ exhibited the appear- 
 ances of hostility and revolution to a boy of weak and 
 declining health. 
 
 To poverty, the times, and personal infirmity, Mr. Minot 
 successfully opposed ardent ambition and unwearied per- 
 severance. In 1774 he entered Harvard University, where 
 he received the highest honours which classmates or instruc- 
 tors could bestow. On taking tlie degree of Master of Arts, 
 he made the valedictory oration, which was much admired 
 for pure and elegant Latinity. 
 
 Leaving Cambridge, he returned to Boston, and entered 
 himself a student at law. During his pupilage he devoted 
 his hours of relaxation to the most accomplished Latin and 
 English historians, and to the study of the purest models of 
 style and composition. 
 
 In 1782 Mr. Minot was admitted to the bar. He pos- 
 sessed a clearness and distinctness of perception ; a readi- 
 ness of mind, which could freely apply its capacities, unem- 
 barrassed, to any pursuit ; and a love of labour, adapted to 
 extensive acquisition in his profession. His elocution was 
 manly, elegant, and deliberate. He had a winning manner, 
 but wanted assurance ; he wanted the uncourteous retort 
 and the spirit which exults in litigation and tumult. From 
 this cause, though a respectable advocate and valued coun- 
 sellor, he never gained at the bar a reputation equal to his 
 general talents. 
 
 At the request of the inhabitants of Boston, Mr. Minot 
 delivered an oration on the anniversary of the Boston Mas- 
 sacre. This oration is now" forgotten, with the occasion 
 which produced it. He was one of an association of gentle- 
 men, that founded the "Boston Magazine," the earliest 
 periodical paper of much celebrity, in New England. Under 
 the direction of Mr. Minot and his friends, it possessed a 
 
. . HON. G. R. MINOT, ESQ. O 
 
 degree of merit which has not been exceeded by any subse- 
 quent work of the kind. 
 
 Mr. Minot's first considerable literary production was 
 "The History of the Rebellion in Massachusetts, in 1786." 
 In the office of clerk of the House of Eepresentatives, 
 which he then held, he had access to every authentick docu- 
 ment relative to the causes which produced the rebellion. 
 This induced an attempt to M^-ite on a subject so deeply 
 interesting to every citizen of the Commonwealth, and so 
 well understood by himself. To this undertaking he was 
 competent; and his success surpassed his own expectations 
 and the anticipations of his friends. The historian was 
 cool, sagacious and reflecting. Aloof from the prejudices 
 of party, he thought as a citizen of the world. All praised 
 his veracity and impartiality, and none were offended by his 
 representations. The work was universally commended for 
 lucid and connected narration, elegant and perspicuous style. 
 This reputation introduced the author to the notice of men 
 of learning and talents ; and from that time, he numbered 
 amongst his friends many of the most distinguished charac- 
 ters of our country.* 
 
 Mr. Minot filled several civil offices connected with his 
 profession. He was Judge of Probate and Chief Justice 
 of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Suffolk, 
 and Judge of the Municipal Court of Boston ; all of wliich 
 he sustained with the character of judicial skill and strict 
 probity. 
 
 The next important work which Mr. Minot wrote was 
 " The History of the Province of Massachusetts-Bay," from 
 
 * As an instance of exemption from the reproach of indiiference to letters, 
 which perhaps has been too freely bestowed on our countrj'men, it may be 
 mentioned, tliat tiie profits of the History of the Rebellion, after defraying its 
 expenses, exceeded one hundred pounds. 
 
6 SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF 
 
 the year 1748 to 1765, comprehending a period very little 
 known even by men of literature. He shews in this work, 
 that the germ of sovereignty was inserted in the nature and 
 constitution of the colony ; that its increase to national 
 greatness necessarily induced national independence ; which 
 was gradually approaching, by the laws of political pro- 
 gression, and could not be much retarded or accelerated by 
 adventitious circumstances. He describes the 8tru2:2:les of 
 Massachusetts against the treachery of the Indians and the 
 jealousy of the French, and traces the union formed between 
 the neighbouring states by a community of danger. The 
 condition of a young province, successfully contending w^ith 
 powerful and insidious neighbours, like the infant Hercules 
 of the fable, gives an interesting presage of the manly 
 vigour which it afterward attained. From the want of 
 writers cotemporary with the period of it, and the acciden-r 
 tal destruction of the records of the government, the History 
 of Massaclmsetts was the result of Ions; investio^ation and 
 severe labour. It was, however, happily accomplished. 
 Those who have read it think it authentick, judicious and 
 elegant ; but the greater part of the copies remain on the 
 shelves of the bookseller. 
 
 His Eulogy on Washington is fresh in the minds of his 
 fellow-citizens. It is sufficient to say, that it was not 
 excelled by any of the numerous addresses which that occa- 
 sion produced ; and that the splendid and impressive manner 
 in which it was spoken will not soon be forgotten by those 
 who heard him. 
 
 Fortune began now to smile upon the man who found, 
 in his own mind, relief against the neglect with which she 
 had hitherto treated him. The writings of Mr. Minot were 
 well received by the publick. Habitual temperance and 
 unremitted attention had given to his health a degree of 
 
HON. G. E. MmOT, ESQ. 7 
 
 hardihood and strength, which he had not before enjoyed. 
 The emoluments of his business were large and increasing ; 
 and he appeared to be advancing prosperously to distinction 
 and independence, when a rapid and malignant disease put 
 a period to his life, Jan. 2, 1802, in the 44th year of his age. 
 
 The talents and the virtues of Mr. Minot were of no 
 mean rank. The wisdom of the plans which he conceived, 
 and his industry, alacrity and accuracy in execution , would 
 certainly have led him, had his life been protracted, to 
 political and literary eminence. To a profound understand- 
 ing he joined much practical good sense. He knew how to 
 distinguish reality from nature, and with intuitive quickness 
 discovered what part of every object was most worthy to be 
 observed. With a warm and creative imagination, his per- 
 ceptions were simple. In reasoning he was clear and con- 
 nected; he could abstract an object from its relations, and 
 place it alone before his eye. Though his scientifick studies 
 were interrupted by professional avocations, and he could 
 not be called a man of profound science, yet his stock of 
 general knowledge was sufficient for common purposes, and 
 gave an illumination to liis mind which threw light on every 
 object presented to it. 
 
 A long and unbroken intimacy with classical learning had 
 given liberality to his manner of thinking, and afforded him 
 a felicity and readiness of Hterary allusion, which he used 
 with neatness and elegance in his writings and discourse. 
 
 In private life he was a model of morals and of manners. 
 Of unsuspected honour and acknowledged integrity, he felt 
 no regret in looking back on the path which he had trodden, 
 and could trace at a single glance its strict undeviating 
 course. His temper, naturally irascible and violent, was 
 directed to flow in such a channel as to give warmth to his 
 attachments and spirit to his cnterprize. He was a sincere 
 
8 SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF 
 
 and devout cliristian — not believing it to be the proof of 
 weakness to respect the forms of piety, nor an evidence of un- 
 derstanding or ingenuity to cavil at a system, whose authen- 
 ticity he felt to be so nearly connected with his happiness. 
 Though his natural disposition was serious and saturnine, 
 he was a cheerful and animated companion, and in his friend- 
 ships always retained the ardour of youth. In conversation 
 he was fluent and eloquent ; his voice was sweet and harmo- 
 nious, and his whole manner captivating. 
 
 Without the advantage of travelling, his deportment was 
 easy and elegant. He had the " unbought grace of nature," 
 and an attractive sweetness, which seem to be spontaneous, 
 and not attainable by labour or imitation. 
 
 We should do injustice to the memory of Mr. M., by 
 this feeble and imperfect sketch, without adding the follow- 
 ing extracts from " An Address to the Members of the Mas- 
 sachusetts Charitable Fire Society," by the Hon. John Q. 
 Adams. 
 
 " Are you an observer of men, and has it been your 
 fortune only once in your life to behold Geoege Eichards 
 MiNOT? You have remarked the elegance of his person 
 and the peculiar charm of expression in his countenance — 
 Have you . witnessed his deportment ? It bore the marks 
 of graceful simplicity, of dignified modesty, of unassuming 
 urbanity — Have you listened to his conversation ? It was 
 the voice of harmony ; it was the index to a penetrating 
 and accurate mind ; it was the echo to a warm and gener- 
 ous heart. Such appeared Mr. Minot, on a first and tran- 
 sient acquaintance ; from which period, to that of the most 
 confidential intimacy, our own knowledge, and the unvaried 
 testimony of indisputable authority, concur in affirming that 
 every trace of pleasing first impression was proportionally 
 deepened ; every anticipation of sterling worth abundantly^ 
 
HON. G. R. MINOT, ESQ. 9 
 
 fulfilled. His character, as the citizen of a free country, was 
 not less exemplary. The profouudest historian of antiquity 
 has adduced the hfe of Agricola, as an extraordinary proof 
 that it is possible to be a great and good man, even under 
 the despotism of the worst of princes. Mr. jNIinot's exam- 
 ple may be alleged as a demonstration equally rare under a 
 free republick, that in times of the greatest dissension, and 
 amidst the most virulent rancour of factions, a man may be 
 great and good, and yet acquire and preserve the esteem 
 and veneration of all. In the bitterness of civil contention, 
 he enjoyed the joint applause of minds the most irrecon- 
 cileable to each other. Before the musick of his character 
 the very scorpions dropped from the lash of discord ; the 
 very snakes of faction listened and sunk asleep ! Yet did 
 he not purchase this unanimous approbation by the sacrifice 
 of any principle at the shrine of popularity. From that 
 double-tongued candour which fashions its doctrines to its 
 company ; from that cowardice in the garb of good nature, 
 which assents to all opinions because it dares support none ; 
 from that obsequious egotism, ever ready to bow before the 
 idol of the day, to make man its god, and hold the voice 
 of mortality for the voice of heaven, he was pure as the 
 crystal streams. Personal invectives and odious imputa- 
 tions against political adversaries he knew to be seldom 
 necessary ; he knew that when unnecessary, whether exhib- 
 ited in the disgusting deformity of their nakedness, or 
 tricked out in the gorgeous decorations of philosophy, 
 whether livid with the cadaverous colours of their natural 
 complexion or flaring with the cosmetick washes of pretend- 
 ed patriotism, they are ever found among the profligate 
 prostitutes of party, and not among the vestal virgins of 
 truth. 
 
 " Mr. Minot was successively employed in various oflSces 
 2 
 
10 SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF 
 
 of trust find of honour. To vice a merciful but inflexible 
 judge ; to misfortune a compassionate friend ; to the widow 
 a protector of her rights ; to the orphan one in place of a 
 father ; in every station which the voice of his country called 
 him alternately to fill, he displayed that individual endow- 
 ment of the mind and that peculiar virtue of the heart, 
 which was most essential to the useful exercise of its 
 functions. 
 
 " His attainments in literature outstripped the slow advance 
 of years ; in the bloom of youth he was associated to the 
 American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Histori- 
 cal Society recognize in him one of their founders. 
 
 " He had an ardent and inextinguishable thirst of general 
 knowledge ; but the department of history was that towards 
 which some Casual incident, of those which are wont to 
 point the magnet of genius to its polar star, had originally 
 turned the bias of his preference. The result of his labours, 
 in this field, is chiefly before the publick, and is duly appre- 
 ciated by all who deem any such labours objects of regard. 
 As an historian, authenticity, impartiality, penetration and 
 sagacity, are obvious characters of his writings. His nar- 
 rative is perspicuous ; his arrangement well delineated : he 
 traces events to their causes, with discriminating eye, and 
 though sparing of his own reflections upon their issue, he 
 gkillfully collects and concentrates their rays upon the mind 
 of his reader. He makes no ostentatious display of his 
 moral and intellectual wealth, but gives you the key to the 
 chambers containing them : It is but opening the door, and 
 treasures in profusion are before you. 
 
 "The revolution Avhich separated these States from their 
 connection as Colonies with Great-Britain, and their subse- 
 quent confederation, have taken from our local history 
 some of its magnitude and moment. These events have 
 
HON. G. E. MINOT, ESQ. 11 
 
 expanded the circle, and increased the multitude of our 
 civil relations. In forming the idea of our country, we are 
 no longer bounded by the scanty dimensions of a petty 
 province. The largest portion of this continent is united 
 under a social compact, Avhich makes its inhabitants equally 
 fellow-citizens of one gr^at and growing empire. To pre- 
 serve, to strengthen, to perpetuate this union, is the first 
 political duty, as it ought to be the highest glory of every 
 American. Since its establishment, our history has become 
 the history of the nation : and had it been consistent with 
 the wise decrees of Providence to prolong the life of Mr. 
 Minot, we might have hoped that the period which came 
 within the compass of his observation would have been 
 transmitted to future times, with that simplicity and purity 
 of style and manner, that zeal for the civil and religious 
 liberties of man, that instinctive and reflected love of virtue 
 and abhorrence of vice, which flowed spontaneously from 
 his pen. But before he could commence upon this arduous 
 task, there was a previous chasm in our history to be filled. 
 It was a period of less general interest than those which 
 preceded and followed it ; less propitious therefore to the 
 talents and reputation of the historian. But Mr. Minot'i* 
 primary consideration was the publick utility, and not his 
 own personal fame — It was a labour inadequate indeed to 
 his powers, but necessary to connect the chain of our annals ; 
 and unless undertaken by him, it might have remained 
 unaccomplished. Of this work, one volume is in possession 
 of the publick. He was just closing the second, when the 
 pen was wrested from his hand, by that king of terrours , 
 whom the most elevated human capacity and the most per- 
 fect human virtues are alike impotent to resist."
