Dundas had soon discovered the great qualities of mind and heart which were hidden hy the haughty mien of the young Whig statesman, who, by the chances of political warfare, became the leader of the great Tory party. Pitt was always ready to encourage and advance those of his own age ; and indeed he seems even to have preferred the assistance of young men. Between him and Dundas there was a great diff...erence in age. Dundas had put on his gown in the Parliament House before Pitt left the nursery, and was Lord Advocate of Scotland before Pitt was called to the bar. But their intimacy was as close as if they had been men of the same age. It was increased by the social qualities of Dundas. Dundas had inherited the convivial habits of his father. He often dined with Thurlow and other famous topers, at the jovial dinners which Eigby used to give at the Pay Office, and was cele- brated as a boon companion, even in that company of hard drinkers.
