Note 28 — Tuesday May 29.

"Mr. Charles Pinckney is a young Gentleman of the most promising talents. He is, altho' only 24 ys of age, in possession of a very great variety of knowledge. Government, Law, History, and Phylosophy are his favorite studies, but he is intimately acquainted with every species of polite learning, and has a spirit of application and industry beyond most Men. He speaks with great neatness and perspicuity, and treats every subject as fully, without running into prolixity, as it requires. He has been a Member of Congress, and served in that Body with ability and eclat."—Pierce's Notes, Am. Hist. Rev., iii., 333.
