The author’s Latin verſes, which are rather more intelligible than his Engliſh, mark him for a furious Libertarian (if we may coin fuch a term) and a zealous admirer of France, and her liberty, under Bonaparte; ſuch liberty!—For inſtance:

The long s isn’t used anymore, but it looks hella classy :P

Long s, by the way, is ‘ſ’, not ‘f’. (Also “sincerely” has another ‘e’, while we’re being pedantic :) )

A better transcription would be:
“The Author’s Latin verses, which are rather more intelligible than his English, mark him for a furious Libertarian (if we may coin such a term), and a zealous admirer of France, and her liberty, under Bonaparte; such liberty!–for instance”

2. I’m not sure who wrote this commentary, but the “author of Gebir” and alleged libertarian is Walter Savage Landor
