At the age of six, he commenced the study of the Latin lan guage. Here, the incompetency of teachers, and the frequent interruptions he experienced in his scholastic pursuits, were se rious barriers in his career of improvement. The energy of his own mind, however, aided by a degree of industry, exem plary for his years, supplied the want of every thing else, and hurried him along in the road to knowledge. In the spring of 1770, his twelfth year being just completed, he was received as a student into Harvard College. Preparatory to his admission, he was examined by one of the ablest scholars of the country, who had long been a teacher of the learned languages. On this occasion, such was the readiness and accuracy be manifested, and such his acquaintance with the principles of language, even at so early a period, that his acquirements excited admiration and applause. From that time he was considered as a youth of exalted promise.
