One of these rw«cs. the employment of spies, ^as been legitimated, and he is regarded as the adroitest commander who can employ them most advan- tageously. The calling of a spy is not regarded as particularly reputable-^I speak now of what may be called a professional spy— spying for pay being his trade and occupation. He is in general rather a loose kind of a character, not being over scrupulous in any respect, is bold, cunning, , dexterous, and enterprising.
^Sometimes he is in the pay and co...nfidence of both the commanders of hostile armies, and de- ceives both, or but otie of them, it may be.
This depends upon the quality of his conscience and upon the quantum of the consideration.
His trade is rather a perilous one, and he car- ries it on generally with a halter round his neck, for the so-called laws of war, though very elaborate and learnedly compiled, afford him not the slightest protection. The vilest felon, the pirate, the traitor can appeal to the tribunals, out for the spy there is no appeal, except to Heaven's mercy seat.
