A critical dictionary of English literature and British and American authors, living and deceased / 1

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Tbb importoaoe aad TahM of » £«ti«iiM7 of • laa-
gnage are understood and appreoiatod by all. If I
flndaword iaabook,orkMrawoid«Mdb7another,
irhioh I do not taUj oomprehond, I hare nothing t»
do bat refer to my diotimaiyt where all the needflil
information is before aa. I hare now inoreased my
•took of knowledge, and oan ose the wstd niyself in
Veaking or writing, and comprehend it wlien wwd
hj others. Another link is added to tliose ties whid
Mnd me to sodety; my e^iaeity far giving and re-
eei-ring ralnable infoimatian and innoeent pleassra
is enlarged. It is now natural for me to reason with
myself, that if the knowledge of only one new term
of tiionght be so desirable, beeauae so useAil, kow
would i^y nsefUnesB miti happiness be increased
by larger additions to my siook of mental wealth I
A life spent in the aequintion of knowledge, surely
would be a happy life 1 But few men can so derete
their whole time, and if this wen. praotioable, lift is
too short for any one man to possess hiiaself of all
the secrets of nature, the diseoreries of sdeaee, and
the triumphs of art. I cannot at the same tisM,
gase with the astraiomar, exploM with the Toyager,
•alenlate with the mathematician, and experiment
with the philost^er. But it ooonrs to me that there
is a mode in whidi I may, to a large extent, STail
myself of the results of the labours of others. These
hare been pTen to mankind throagh tlie medinm of
the press. I can, therefore, derete my leisure time
to such profltaUe reading as shall make me acquainted
with much of which I must otherwise be ignoranL
Beading is that art by which I am enabled to aTul
myself of the recorded wisdom of mankind. But
here a practical difficulty suggests itself The multi-
plicity of books, eren in my own language, renders
• earefkil selection absolutely indispensable. It has
been oompated that of the 66b,000 (?) Tolumes in the
English language^ about 60,000 would repay a pern-
■all Suppose a person to read 100 pages a day, or

100 Tolnmes a year. It would require £00 years to
exhaust such a library I How important is it, then,
to know what (o read 1 And how shall this knowledge
be obtained T Now let us rerert to our opening re-
mariu upon the Talue of a dictionaiy of words. If
there be such an advantage in ftill definition, in
alphabeUeal aixangement, and oonseqnent facility of
reference, why should we not hsTC a dietionars of
iookt (md aulkort at tpM <u of mtritt Suppose that
I wish to know whether Home or Lingard's History
of England, or Spenser's Poems, or Burke's Speeches,
or Thomson's Seasons, are desirable works for my
school, my library, my parlour table ; — or suppose I
wish to know the personal history of these authors —
of Hume, Lingard, Baike, Thomson— what trouble I
shall have la obtaining the desired information 1 Bnt
if I had a Dietiotuay of Literaiy Sittory and Bio-
grifhjf, I havo nothing to do bnt turn to H, or L, or
B, or T, and I am at once in possession of what 1
seek. But is there aigr such work to be had T It is
a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding the obTious
•drantages of sucib a work, there was none such in
print before the present publication. There were,
indeed, meagre " Compendiums of English Litera-
ture," and " CompiehonslTe Cyolopndias," the largest
of which (with the exception of a book of titles of
works) contains about 860 out of more than 80,000
authors I Much of such knowledge, too, is found
scattered here and there in ezpenslTe biographical
eompilations, whieh can ncTsr become popular, be-
cause Tory cosUy, and are, indeed, insuffioient authori-
ties in literary history.

Deeply lamenting this serious deficiency in the
English Bepublic of Letters, the compiler determined
to undertake the preparation of the long-desired
work, and he now has the pleasure of presenting to
the public the results of labours extending orer a
long period, and pursued with unwearied teal. In "A

Th« prinoip*! features of the work are the follow-
ing:

1. It U uranged in alplial>etioal oider, to insure
facility of referenoe.

2. While professing to chronicle only British and
Amerioan anthers, in onr College of Letters, we
liare sometimes OTerlooked the question of nativity,
and enrolled a writer whose insignia of literary
nobility could properly be quartered on an English
field. Tliat, indeed, would t>e a prodigal parsimony
which should exdnde £rom the national coffers of
intellectual wealth, the superscriptions of Anselm,
Lanfranc, Benoit De Sainte-Manr, and Peter of
Blois.

8. As a general rule, a snooinct biography is given
of each author of note. The length of such notice,
of course, depends upon his prominence as an indl
Tidnal, and his rank as an author. Those of tlie
first class, such as, Addison Anselm, Ascham, Bacon,
Burke, Byron, Bryant, Chaucer, Chillingworth, Cla-
rendon, Cowper, Davy, Dryden, Dwight, Edwards,
Everett, Franklin, Gildas, Gibbon, Hallam, Hall,
Henry, Irving, Johnson, Laud, Leighton, Locke,
Hilton, More, Newton, Otway, Paley, Pope, Prescott,
Robertson, Rosooe, Savage, Spenser, Shakspeare,
Sherlock, Southey, Sparks, Taylor, Thomson, Tyn-
dale, Usher, Taubnigh, Wace, Warbnrton, Walpole,
Watts, Waterland, Wood, Young, and bitcbal thou-
SASDOTHERS, are treated at Considerable length. Less
space is devoted to those leas distinguished. The
nnm1>er of anthers whose works are noticed is about
80,000, a ftr greater number of English writers than
has ever before been brought together in any woric,
or indeed in all previous publications.

4. The most valuable feature of the work is now
to be mentioned. Compilers of manuals of literature
have almost universally Mien into the great error of
giving their own opinions, almost exclusively, upon
the merits or demerits of tiie authors under eonride-
ration. Kow, these opinions may be valnable or not :
the pnblio generally neither ask nor care what their
views may be. This capital error is avoided in the
present work. The compiler occasionally ventures
an opinion of his own, but this will be merely sup-
plemental to opinions better known and more highly
appreciated by the reading public. At a tanfiiUy
pr^ared sncoBD or thi opihioms or obbat mbm
UPOir aBBAT mbb, this work will prove an invaluable
guide to the student of literary history. For instance,
able criticisms upon the speeches and literary pro-
ductions of Edmuhd Bvbkb have been written or
spoken by such men as M. CazsUs, Charles James
Fox, Sir James Mackintosh, Dr. Johnson, Curran,
Wilberforce, the Duke de levis, Oerard Hamilton,
Dr. French Laurence, Lord Eldon, Dr. Parr, Robert
Hall, the Emperor of Oennany, the Prinees of France,

the King of England; in modem times, by Lord
Brougham, Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Mr.
Macaulay, and many others. Now, such criticisms
and commendations, invaluable as they are, are float-
ing abont in books and pamphlets, often difficult to
procure, and tironblesome to examine. In the pre-
sent work they will be found, in the whole or in parl^
arranged in a few pages nndei* the name of Burks.
Such an article alone is well worth the price of the
whole book. When Mr. Bbtaht was a youthful poet
his effusions were most favourably noticed by that
first class authority, the Lohdoh Rbtbobpiottvb
Rbvixw, as well as by other periodicals and critics.
Some years later, Cbbistophbb Nobtb and Wash-
iHOZox Ibvixo ^then in London) displayed their good
taste by warmly applauding the "thoughts that
breathe and words that bum" of the great American
bard. In the present work the reader has only to
turn to the name of Bbtabt, to find an aoconnt of
these and other interesting facts connected with Mr.
B.'s poetical career. So a reference to the name of
Washihotoh Ibtibo will plaee lum in possession of
the prominent events connected with the life of this
distingnished ornament of English literature. In
like manner are noticed the works and lives of the
principal living (as well as deceased) British authors :
-Hallam, Bbovoham, Maoavlat, Diokbhb, Bclwbb
Ltttoii, &0.

6. The landable onriceity of the bibliomaniao, or
lover of rare works, is not forgotten in this volume.
Occasional notices are given «f

"Iha null, ran TOlnsM, black with tuniahed (old.'*

(Ferriar's " Bibliomania," p. 11 : Epistie to Richard
Heber, Esq.) whilst the eariy RoxBOBan FssTrvALs,
the tonraaments at I^gK and Soth^t, and the tri-
umphs of DiBDiB, HxBBB, and Tbobpb, claim respeot-
fol remembrance.

6. The second division of this work consists of •
copious index of subjects, so that the inquirer can

AaRiocLTirBB, the fhrmer will find authors' names
alphabetically arranged ; and by turning to each one,
can see the titie or tities of his work or works, and
probably an estimate of the value of his labours. So
in Abtiqvitibs, Chbmistbt, D(tihitt, Drama, Law,
Political Eoohont, Bioobapbt, Jte. Tliis arrange-
ment, the compiler considers, will eonfer an inesti-
mable vatne upon the work. He thos presents to the
public, in one voltime, a CoMPBiBHsrvB Maboal
or Ebolisb Litxratubb— authors and subjects — a

MARVAL which is TO TBB LITBRATVKB Or THB LAB-

7. The value of the work can be best seen by a
eonparison with other works of a somewhat simUar
ohaneter.

PREFACE.

1. Tbi Bioobaphia BBiTANnoA (complete), in 7
foHo Telnmes, eomes down to s no later period than
1766; 6 Tolomea of a new edition were pabliehed,
1778-98, extending to letter E, and part of F. The
nnmber of authors notioed i« few, and, of oonrse, it
ezclndes all those who hare died within the last
iizty-two years, and all recent disooreries in Kterary
hiography. These twelre bulky Tolumes, which are
now rarely to be met with, are worth about $35 to
$40.

2. Chalmers's Bioobaphical Dictio>iabt, 82 Tola.
8 TO., 1812-17, contains in all less than 9000 names,
of which perhaps 2500 are those of British au-
thors ; it is sold at from $45 to $55. It contains
no author who has died within about forty years.
Onr work gires 25,000 to 80,000 names of British
and Amerioan authors (including the liring) to the
present time.

8. Watt's Bibliotbboa BsiTAinnoA, 1824, 4 toIs.,
4to., Uke the other works named aboTe, is a Tery
Talnable compilation. It contains the names of about
22,600 British, and p«4iap8 100 to 200 early Amerioan,
snthors. Of biographical notices it is almost desti-
tute; in many cases giring a line where our work
giTes a column. It sella for $40 to $60.

4. LowxoBs's Biblioobapbbb's Maxual, 1824, 4
tdIb., 8to., giTW DO biography of consequence, few
modem namet, and Teiy meagre eritieal notiees,
where any at all are presented. It is but littie more
than a oatalogue of tities, though a work of much
value to a bibliographer. It meets with a rapid sale
•t $24 to $28, and is now Tery scarce.

6. Tn Nbw Bioobaprioal Diotiohabt, (Rose's)
12 Tola., 8to., 1848, contains about 8700 names of
Britiab and American authors, ezolading all liTing.
It aeila for $80 to $40.

8. Chambbbs's Ctoiapjidia or Enoura IiItbra-
TUBB is a most Taluable work, and should be in all
libraries; but aa a map of English literature it is
TM7 defeetiTe, though from no fault of the intelligent
•fitor, Hr. Robert Chambers. - He designed to ^TO
tpedmens of the works of a few authors, rather than
ft Uatory of British and American authors and lite-
iftton. Tha bulk of his work is made up of eztraets
fr«m tha few antlioTS notieed. Of these thne are
882 only, who abb alk iHOi>in>BD » cub owh wobx,
MMV aom 26,000 to 30,000 ix additioh I Mot only
bft** «e all of the British authors noticed by Ceax-
BKBa, but all ineluded in Watt's Bibliothioa Bbitah-
noA, in Lowhdbs's Biblioobapbbb's MAirrAL, in
Boaa's Bioobafbicai. Diotiohabt, 1848, 12 toIs.,
dro., Clbtblabo's Compbndiitks or Enousr Litb-
KATCBB, &e. ; all of tha Amerioan authors to be found
in R. W. Oxiswold's compilations, in Allen's American
Biographical Dictionary, and many more, both British
and American, noTer before ineluded in a work «f
tkia kind. If it be asked, how is it possible for us to
hsve compressed so Taat a quanti^ of infonnation
iate one Tolome, we answer that, thoagh we gire

only one Tolume, yet this MHiaow the matter of mart
than thirty ordinary 12mo. tolumei of 850 paga eaek.
It is needless to enlarge upon the superior conTenienoe
for reference which one large Tolnme possesses over
■ number of smaller ones.

We shall now proceed to show the weighty claims
which our work presents to the attention of the mem-
bers of the Tarions preflsssions, and the publio gene-
rally.

1. The CLERQTMAN wUl find it ao inraluable
guide in his professional duties. How often is he at
a loss to know what books to refer to, when pursuing
some interesting and useAil branch of study I We
are bold- to say that there ia no work in the language,
with the exception of this Tolume, which will answer
his purpose. Hobhb's Ihtbosuotioh, and Obmb's
BiBiioTHBOA BiBUOA, treat of works which relate
to file Scriptures, only. Williams's Chbibtiah
Fbbaohbb, and Biokkbstitb's Chbistiah Stddbmt,
and some other manuals of a similar character, are
T«ry defeetiTe in bibliography, and so partial to those
who agree, and (unintentionally) unjust to others
who disagree, with the peculiar riews of the eompilers,
that the adTocate is apparent, where the judge alone
should be heard. Now our work contains almost, if
not quite, all of the critical notioea included in these
works, and many others of a different complexion.
The clergyman haa only to turn to the class headed
"Ditiicitt," and the tiieolo^«al treasnrea of the
English language are laid open to hia riew. By such
guidance, instead of purchasing hia books at random,
and diminishing his means by the oost of works, which
he finds, on examination, unsoitad to his purpose,
he can at once lay hia hands upon exactly what he
needs. If he wish to add to his libraiy works of a
miseellSDeoas character, he can oonaalt this erer-
present, well-informed friend at hia elbow, who will
indicate those works which are suitable, and those
which are unsuitable, for his libraiy shelTes and
parlour table.

2. The LAWYER will find in our work copious
notices of books in his profession, from Abobbold to
VnrBB. The article " Law," in the Index, will enable
him to discoTer at once the title and date of^ and tn-
qnentiy Taluable oritioal opinions from the highest
authorities upon, the legal treatise which is to enable
Mm to stndy intelligently the important case, the
management of which is, perhaps, to make or mar
his professional reputation.

8. The DOCTOR OF MEDICIME U often at a loss
to lay his hands upon a treatise which wiU enable
him to master the diagnoaia of some disease, which
haa baffled his skill, or must be explained to his class.
He has no medical bibliographer to consult ; or he
may hesitate to admit ignorance in quarters where
professional riTalry may not always keep the secret.
Our Library of English Uterstaie ia on his shelf, is
eonaulted, has reUcTed him firom his difficulty, and
he commends the wisdom of the profitable purchase.

PREFACE.

Abtmaks'* Digatmt Organ*, MeiUt PatiknHal Con-
tagion, or Watt I Coniumplion, soon smilei grimly in
his library ; the patient is soon irell enough to laugh
at his doctor, the medical students are dismissed,
"wiser," if not "better, men," and our ^scnlapius
walks forth, the admiration of bis fellow eitisens, as
a nuunrel of eraditioii.

4. In like manner, the BIERCHANT who desires
to be ac<;[nainted with the literature of his profession,
and the ARTIST who is looking for the best manaals.
of his calling, or tiie biographies of those who hare
graren their names with the chisel upon the eloquent
marble, or stamped their fame upon the glowing
colours of the speaking canTass, — ha* here a sure
resource.

6. The AQKICULTUBIST can leam the most
recent improrementa in the treatment of lands, and
proTide himself with those stimulants to production,
without which, no fanner can now compete with his
intelligent neighbour.

e. And let not the WORKING MAN say to such a
manual as ours, " I baTe no need of thee. I am no
■oholar, and have no time to read, even if I felt the
desire. I do, Indeed, sometimes lament my ignoranee
and inability to understand much of what I read in
the papers, but it is too late for me -to leam." A
plea of this kind confutes itself.

Our MECHANIC admits that he is often mortified at
U* ignoranee. Why then should he volantarily re-
main in ignorance! As to the alleged "want of
time," this is altogether an error. The excuse m€tg
be Talid in one case in tan thousand : as the odds are
80 great, we feel Justified in nerer admitting its
TSlidity. We will renture to assert that, almost
without an exception, CTery man, woman, and child,
who compluns of want of time for the discharge of
neglected duties, can find time enough when inclina-
tion becomes the manager. In tha busiest season,
will not time be found for that amos^ent, that r»-
ereation, which may be ardenUy desired by the one
who complains of being so much burdened T We say
to the working man or woman, apprentice, boj, or
g^l, detennine to inyirota your mind, to add to y<Mr
ttoci 0/ Itnovltdgt, and you vUl faid time tnougk. In
time, as in money, it is neglect of the fragments
which consumes the store. Who eoold not, if so
disposed, sare for reading one hour per day t Not,
perhaps, in one tena, but a few minutes here and
there, until the aggregate should amount to the time
■apposed. If the working day be ten hours in lengtli,
we hare the following result :

One honr per day is, in a year, three hundred and
rizty-fiTe hours — thirty-six days and a half — that is,
about fiye weeks in a year. Does not this surprise
yon } How much knowledge you will be possessed
of next year, if you derote fire weeks to its acqoid-
tion this year 1 In ten years you will, at the same
nt«^ IwT« deroted one year to reading. Here is

time enough in which to leam two languages, or te
read through more than one hundred Tolumes I

If yon say that one honr is too much time per day to
assume as a basis, then take half an hour, or a quarter,
or fire minutes only, and you will see that it is still
worth sariug. Be assured that the position you hold
among your neighbours, your respectability, your
usefiilness, is mainly dependent upon the amount of
knowledge you possess. If you, honest shoemaker,
or carpenter, can tell your group of neighbours who
Franklin was, what Burke was distinguished for, why
Shakspeare is so much admired, in what year Wash-
ington was bom and when he died — ^if you ean tall
them about such things, when you meet with the names
of these at other men in the village newspaper, CTeiy
one of your neighbours will respect yon the more for
your knowledge.

If yon, apprentice boy — ^you, young maiden — can
inform your parents of Hu philanthropio labours of
a Wilberforoe and a Howard, of the eloquence of a
Henry, a Chatham, or a Clay, of the diaooTeries of a
Davy, or a Fulton, or a Newton, be sure your know-
ledge will " not fall to the ground."

What, indeed, intellectually oon^dered, distin-
guishes a man from a brute, but education ? Before
the genius of such men as Edmund Burke and John
Hilton, the world has bowed in heartfelt deferenoe;
but had Burke and Milton been without education —
had they been North American Indians, for instanee,
what would tiieir genius have done for them? It
might hare enabled them to make a better canoe, or
scalp more enemies, or construet handsomer wig-
wams, than their fellows; but if transplanted into
olTilixed life, they would, in usefulness to society,
hare been many degrees inferior to t]ie yoath in the
public school. Such is the importance of knowledge,
which is trnly "power I" Therefore, delay not to
acquire so inestimable a treasure!

A recent illustration of the pecuniary advantages
of knowledge, may properly oonolude this portion of
our subject. An optative in a ootton factory sub-
scribed three dcdlacs a year for a magasine. In tUa
periodical he found the designs of some patterns for
goods. He thought he could copy them — did so —
was eminently sneeessftil, and found that his three
dollars was a most profitable investment. Had he
BMd to the profiered magazine, as we have imagined

8. An who potohaae books for district and other
school-libraries, for their own fiMiiliea or for their
priTate book-caae, will see the vsefalness of a work
which will at onoe diieet them to the bist wobkb
o> TBI sasi AUTHOBS. TeaehetB aod parents will
haTS no hesitation in accepting tiie critical opinions
of the wise and good, recorded in these pages. As
legerds the work itself care has been taken to
rigoxoDsly exclnde oreiything of an objectionable
dMiaeter. It may be read alond to the family
drele without fear of its calling a blush te the cheek
of modesty, or inilieting a pang upon the heart of
the coDscientious Christian. It ia proper in this con-
nazion to rsnuurk, that whilst the litsniy merits of
writers of all daaaes are candidly acknowledged, and
no religioas or indigions peoidiarities are considered
as sanctiaung iiqustiee to their adrocates, yet a pro-
flDond deference to the principles of the Christian
rdigiao, and a settled diaapprobatton of the impieties
and absurdities of infidelity, are (teriesdy announced.
If this displease any, let them be displeased. ' " Let
Ood be true, aod ereiy man a liar."

9. Booksellers need not be told of the importance
to th^ own interest, of eneonraging the circulation
of a work which will tend more to the enlarged sale of
books than any publication wluoh has eTcr appeared.
Sereral of the beet known and most eztenaiTe pub-
Eabers and booksellers in the United States have
warmly encouraged the prepaiatioD of this Tolume.
Indeed, no intelligent bookseUet who understands
Us own business, can dispense with it as a constant
eampanion. It will enaUe him to point oat to his
customer, at once, the books of which he is in <inest,
and to show him the opinions of the most diatin-
guished critics and esteemed authorities aa to their
aaerita or demerits. The applieaUon of these re-
aaarics, and many of the preceding considezations, to

ATTTHOss and iDROBS, whether of books or periodi-
cals, is so obriona, that no enlargement is neces-
sary.

It is obTions to those at all fiimiUar with the sub-
ject, that no work of this kind could have been pro-
pwly prepared, without an intimate acquaintance
with Enj^ish literature, and the advantage of an ex-
tensire priTate library, for constant reference and
consultation. It is, therefore, proper to remark, that
the author of The Ckitioal Diotiohaxt or Ehqubh
LiTBKATima, AMD Bbitish axd Amibicah Autbobs,
has long applied himself to the subject, with eon-
dderable labour and seal, and spent many years in
accumulating a large collection of rare and carious
literary treasores, in addition to the manuals gene-
rally considered as the best authorities. We give a
list of some of the works which we hsTo kept at our
side for consultation and guidance, though not obliged
to lay all of them under contribution.

Thomas Park. Lon., 1806, 6 toIs., 8to.

Watt's Bibliotheoa Britannica, or a General Index
to British and Foreign Literature. Lon., 1824, 4
vols., 4to. To this excellent work we are largely
indebted, having draws flreely £rom its pages for
particulars of editions, &c. Some late writers have
affected to depredate the Talue of ttiis work, because
inaccuracies have sot escaped the eye of the critic.
Having examined every article pertuning to British
aathors (about 22,600) in the work, we conmder
oorselves qualified to give aa opinion. Brrora there
are, aad some glaring ones, wUch can readily be
excused in a work of such vast compass, yet the
Bibliotheoa of Dr.' Watt will always deserve to be
valued as one of the most stapendoue literary monu-
ments ever reared by the industry of man. As stated
elaewlMM, we have ineluded in our work every
British author noticed by Dr. Watt; yet hi* work

libraries, from Dr. Mede't to Dawson Turner's.

The reader will observe that only those works have
been named which profess to record biographical or
bibliographical information. It is hardly nocessary
io say, that in a city like Philadelphia, the author
has not been restricted to his own library, for the
purpose of literary research ; although the above list,
periiaps, evinces some seal in the collection of appro-
priate works. It is, however, proper to state that
tiie Critical Dictionary now submitted to the public,

IS BT «0 XBAVS A MBU SIKTUB OOMPUATIOH FBOM

Bxiama avtbomtibs. Great pains and much time
kaf* been devoted to the sifting of statements, the
comparison of opporing records, and the anthentiov
tion of dates.

The many errors to be found in compilations of
this character, are partiy attributable to the fitct, that,
in most instances, a number of editiHrs, often without
unity of counsel, have combined their labours in the
pcoduetion of one work. Tet the advantages of such
osmbination in a compendium of general biography,
•re too great to be sacrifioed to the hope of perhaps
unattainable perfection. But it is believed that a
work of the character now presented to the public,
restricted to one class — authors — and British and
American authors only, can be better prepared by
one editor than by many. In such unions, each eo-
labourer brings to the common stock, preconceived
partialities and antipathies, and a scientific or lite-
raiy oprtt db etrpi, which can hardly be reconciled

without mutual eoneessions, and eomprondses, of
-which the public must bear the cost. That this is
no picture of the imagination, the literary reader will
bear as witness. In this work, the author has deolined
many proffers of aaaistanoe, in order that he might
pursue his own plans without intemption, and fsel,
as he added stone after stone to the edifice, that the
literary monument, when erected, would be the work
of his own hands.

^^lUst thus claiming all responsibility whieh at-
ta«hes to the preparation of this volume, we have
pleasure in expressing our obligations to the nume-
rous correqiondents in Great Britain and America
who have fbmiehed us information req)eoting thMr
own literary biography or that of other writers. If
we have not always profited by the well-meant tof^
gestions of our advisers, it must be remembered in
our defence that he alone who, from the advantages
of his position, can take in at one survey the mate-
rials of which he is to compose hiaedifice, can inteUi-
gentiy judge as to the best disposition of the parts
and the most suitable style of architecture.

With regard to those matters in which the anther
has been obliged to a^indieata — the opposing ver-
sions connected with biograi^ical and literary detuls
— he claims no in&llibility, and must expect to en-
counter occasional dissent Tet a timely caution
against hasty and superficial criticism, may save
mortification to that class of commentators who so
often excite commiseration by misUking crude specu-
lations, and the rash confidence of unconscious igno-
rance, for the resulte of learned investigation, and
the modest assurance of intelligent deliberation.
When such critics feel disposed to charge us with
error, trom our want of ooincidence with their pre-
conceived opinions, it will be only modest to ask
themselves, if it be quite certain that they are right,
and ourselves in the wrong T Unless the disputed
question be one within their own personal knowledge
— ^which it, of course, seldom can be— their charge
of error at our door, can only mean that they prefer
some opposing version to that which they criticise; —
but may not their authority have been the subject
of our consideration, also! — have been oareftilly
semtinixed, and deliberately rejected? We may
not, indeed, expUcitiy refer to the dielum to which
our critic so deferentially bows, for it is impossible
in our limited space to give aught but the condu-
sioas of our researches, — but this omission affords
no proof of our ignorance of such opposing authori-
ties. Whatever may be the faulte and imperfections
of our work, we prefer to fall into the hands of the
learned, who oan appreciate both merite and defects,
rather than trust to the tender mercies of the lite-
rary charlatan, whose conmiendation and censure art
alike worthless.

It is not the erudite bibliographer, for instance,
who will object to the introduction into a work of
this kind, of the many brief articles of a few line*—

PREFACE.

tn some oases oaly one line— irhieh will be foiiDd
scattered np and down on onr pages. Those who
estimate the nsefolness of an artiole by its length,
would banish those short records from our Tolame ;
bnt the intelligent critio will reply, with Sr. Johnson,
that all knowledge tends to profit, and that " it is of
use to a man only to know that there is snch a place
as Eamachatka."

The result of an important lawsnit, the a^jnstment
of a disputed boundary, the settlement of a weighty
literary eontroTorsy, may often depend upon the
knowledge of the title, or date, of a book to be found
in the conclusion of a "paltty line," ridiculed by the
ignorant for its broTity. And aa regards the oom-
parative Talne of information, eaoh reader can judge
for himself, but no one can prescribe for his fellow.
The few lines deroted to the consideration of an anti-
quarian tract, which yon grudge from the poetical
article which precedes them, will be yalued by some
nrigbbouring "Oldbnck" aboTe all the poetry since
the days of Homer. Whilst to spread a repast which
shall sati^ the appetite of all, ia • consummation

beyond the ambition even of a literary Luonllus, yet
the author hopes that each guest will here find some
refreshment which will reward him for his delay,
•ad perhaps strengthen bim anew for the Journey of
human life.

In conclusion, we would once more labour to im-
press upon our readers the duty of the lealons par>
suit of those paths of learning and science which
lead to usefulness, happiness, and honour. Be not
dismayed by the apparently nnattraotiTe character
of mnehx>f the somery Orongh which you must pass.
Perserere ; and distaste will soon yield to pleasure,
and repugnance give place to enjoyment. An erei
present and influential sense of the importance of
the goal, will do wonders in overcoming the diffi-
culties of the way. To those Israelites whose hearts
fainted for a sight of their belored Temple, the sands
of the desert, and the perils of the road, presented
no obstacles which their energy and their faith eonld
not surmonnL The arid " Valley of Baca" to them
became a well— for, in the beautiful language of the
Psalmist, "The rain also fiUeth the .pools."

TO THE EEADER.

It will be observed that the limit of the Literary
History contained in this work is stated to be " The
Middle of the Nineteenth Century." Our pages, how-
ever, bear constant evidence of researches carried
down to the day of publication ; and in many cases
we have felt at liberty to snnonnce literary enter-
prises which may not see the light until long after
our own labours have been submitted to the public.

1. As regards the places of publication of the works
enumerated in this Dictionary, it will be understood
that the place affixed to the first book noticed in an
article applies also to all the books which occur
before the mention of another place in the same
artiole. There are some exceptions to this rale, (it
is not known, for instance, where some books were

printed,) bnt the bibliographer — the only one likely
to be curious in snch matters — will know where to
look for the details which onr limits forbid us to
introduce.

2. It will be understood that the fact of the publi-
cation of Sermons properly suggests (in tlus Dic-
tionary) the prefix Bev. to the name of the author,
save in the few cases where such productions are
from the pens of laymen, — ^which fact is always
stated in the article.

8. At the end of the Dictionary the reader will
find forty copious Indexes of subjects, by the means
of which he can at once refer to all the authors who
have written upon any given department of letters.

recorded by the pen and diffused by the Press, each
indiridnal may profit by the labour of others, and,
without diminishing the common stock, be enriched
f^m the Public Treasury of Intellectual Wealth.
We hare already enlarged upon the duty of mental
acquisition, and to this effect shown the necessity of
careful selection, that we may not waste valuable
time, which should be devoted to mental and moral
improTement, in the perusal of that which i^unpro-
iitable, perhaps positively injurious, in its tendency.
(See Pkiface.) So anxious are we to make a durable
impression upon the mind of the reader, that we shall
reSnforce the arguments we hare already urged to
induce him to become a diligent student, by the cita-
tion of some weighty opinions as to the value of good
books, and the inestimable rewards attendant upon
literary research and intellectual cultivation.

That eccentric philosopher, Robert Bubtom, after
* review of the various devices which are used to ex-
oi«ise the "foul fiend," Melancholy, thus continues:

« Bat amengat thoae exerdaes, or reoroationa of the mind

obaerve what onr forefathers have done ; the beginnings,

them, nmmdat mtiuat at beUaria, the second course and

INTRODUCTION.

"I no loonar oome into the libnrjr, but I bolt the door
to me, ezelading liut, ambition, nTario*, and meUneholj
henelf, and in the very lap of eterni^, amongst so many
dirine souls, I take my seat with so lofty a spirit and sweet
contend that I pity all onr great ones, and rieh men that
know not this h^piness." — HnnrBins, Keeper of the Li-
brary at Leyden : EpUl. Primitn. Vide Bvbtok'b A»aU>-
mjf tf Mtkmeholg,

The reader win find in CIskaiu's Ouriontie$ of
Literature an imitation of Raxtxau'b elassioal addrces
to Us books — Sahete aureoU mei l&elli, Ae. :

" Golden rolnmes ! richest treasmM 1
Objeoti of delioions pleatnrei I
Yoa my eyes rejoicing please.
Ton my hands in reptore seize I
Brilliant wiia, and musing sages^
Lights who beam'd through many ages ;
Left to your oonsoions leaves their story,
And daared to trust yon with their glory;
And now their hope of fame aohieved.
Dear Tolnmea I yon liave not deoeired I"

The friends of the reolnse of Yancltiaa •pologixed
to him for the length of time between tJbeir visits :

" It is imponiUe for us to fdlow yonr example : the life
yon lead is eontraty to hnman natnie. In winter, yon sit
like an owl, in the ehimney eomar. In summer, yoa are
running inoessantly about the flelds."

PsTRABOH smiled at these obserrations ;

"These people," said he, "oonsider the pleasures of the
world as the supreme good, and eannot bear the idea of
renouncing them. I hare Fniniros, whose society is ex-
tremely agreeable to me : they are of all ages, and of erery
eonntry. They have distinguished themselres both in the
cabinet and in the field, and obtained high hononn for
their knowledge of the scienoes. It is euy to gain aooess
to them ; for they are always at' my senrice, and I admit
them to my oompaoy, and dismiss them from it, whenever
t please. They an never troublesome, but immediately
answer sreiy question I ask them. Some relate to me the
events of past ages, while others reveal to me the seorets
of nature. Some teaoh me how to lire, and others how to
die. Some, by their vivacity, drive away my cares and ex-
hilarate my spirits, while others give fortitude to my mind,
and teach me the important lesson how to restrain my de-
sires, and to depend wholly on myself. They open to me,
in short, the various avennes of all the arts and sciences,
and upon their infonnatioa I safely rely, in all emergencies.
In return for all these services, they only ask me to aoeom-
modate them with a oonvenient chamber in soma oozner
if my humble habitation, where they may repose in peace:
for these friends are more delighted by the tranqnillity of
retiremeni, than with the tumults of sootety."

Is not this an exquisite picture of the mine of
boandless wealth, of the nnfuling Inxurions repast,
which that man possesses who has a taste for Bead-
ing and Study T

" Bookes lookt on as to their Headers or Authonrs, do at
the very first mention, ehallenge Preheminence above the
Vorids admired fine things. Books are the Olasse of
Coonsell to dress oorselves by. They are lifes beat busi-
ness : Voeation to these hath more Emolnment coming in,
fliaa all the other basic Termes of lift. They are Feelesse
Oonnsellonrs, no delaying Patrons, of easie Aeoesse, and
kind Bzpedition, never sending away empty any Client or
Petitioner. They are for Company, the best Friends; in
doobts^ ConnseUoan; in Damp, Comforters; Time's Per-

spective; the home Tia.Teller's Ship, or Hone, the boale
man's best Reereation, the Opiate of Idle weariness ; the
mind's best Ordinary; Nature's Garden and Seed-plot of
Immortality. Time spent (needlessly) from them, is eon-
snmed, but with them, twice gain'd. Time captivated and
snatched from thee, by Incursions of business. Thefts of
Visitants, or by thy own Carelessnesse lost, is by these, re-
deemed in life; they are the sonl's Viatieum; and against
death its Cordial!. In a (rae verdict, no such Treasure as
a Library."

" Wliat a worid of thought is here packed up together i
I know not whether this sight doth more dismay, or oom>
fort me. It dismays me to think that here is so much that
I eannot know; it comforts me to think that this varied
affords so much assistance to know what I should. ....
Whata tuq>piness is it, that withont the aid of necromancy,
I can here call up any of the ancient worthies of learning,
whether human or divine, and eonfer with them upon all
my doubts ; that I can at pleasure summon whole synods
of reverend fathers and aonta doctors from all the coasts
of the earth, to give their well-studied judgments in all
donbtftil points which I propose. Nor can I east my eye
cssnaUy upon any of these silent masters, but I must leant
somewhat. It is a wantonneaa to complain of ohoiee. Ko
law binds us to read all ; but the more we can take in and
digest, the greater will be our improvement.

" Blessed be God, who hath set up so many dear lamps
in his church ; none but the wilfully blind can plead dark-
ness. And blessed be the memory of those, his faithfbl
servants, who have left their blood, their spirits, their lives
in these precious fspen ; and have willingly wasted them-
selves into these enduring monuments to give light to
others."

" Books, as Dryden has aptly tamed them, are speota-
des to fftd Nature. Esehylus and Aristotle, Bhakspeara,
and Bacon, are Priests who preach and expound the mys-
teries of Han and the Universe. They teach us to under-
stand and feel what we see, to decipher and syllable the
hieroglyphics of the senses." — ^HAsn.

The adviee of Lord Baoox to Chief Justice Cosa
should be pondered by ererjr one desirons of mental
improvement:

"For Friends, although your Lordship be scant, yet I
hope you are not altogether destitato ; if you be, do bnt
look upon good Books : they are tras Friends, that will
ndther flatter nor dissemble : be you but true to yourself
applying that which they teaoh nnto the party grieved, and
you shall need no other comfort nor counsel. To them,
and to God's Holy Spirit direoting yoa in the reading of
then^ I commend yonr Lorddiip."

"Let us oonsider how great a commodi^ of doctrine
exists in books ; how easily, how seeretiy, how safely they
expose the nakedness of hnman ignorance, without putting
it to shame. These are the masters who instraet us with-
out rods and feimles, without hard words and anger, witii-
ont clothes or money. If you approaeh them, they are not
asleep ; if investigating you interrogate them, they eoneeal
nothing ; if yon mistake them, they never gmrable ; if yoa
are ignorant, they cannot langfa at yon."— BlOKABB M

.... I know how hard it ii to some men, eapeciallj to
tbofe who ipend much time in manual labour, to fix atten-
tion on Booki. Let them itrire to oreroome the diffionlty,
by ohooaing nibjecti of deep intereet, or by reading in
company with those they lore. Nothing can lupply the
place of Books. They are cheering or loothing compa-
nions in solitode, illness, affliction. The wealth of both
9ontinentB woold not compensate for the good they impart.
Let every man, if possible, gather some good Books nnder
his roof, and obtain access for himself and family to some
social Library. Alnott any luxury should be sacrificed to
this." — ^William Ellsrt CHA.Kiriifo : Self-OuUun.

"If the crowns of all the kingdoms of Europe were laid
down at my feet in exchange for my Books and my lore of
Beading, I wonld spurn them alL" — Akchbishop Fsnsloh,

"A taste for Books is the pleasure and glory of my
life. I would not exchange it for the glory of the Indies."
— Edward Qibboh.

And now, gentle reader, having evoked so many
of the " mighty and the noble, "who, gathering around
thee, a " aloud of witnesses," have sought to stimu-
late thy ambition by pointing to the " ample page of
knowledge, rich with the spoils of time," let me hope
th»t k spirit hath been aroused within thee whioh
will induce thee to enter in and possess the wealth
of the land : a goodly heritage is before thee ; and
like the chosen people of old, then shalt be enriched
by ttie labours of thy predecessors, and ngoice in
abandanoe of good.

But if thy heart tells thee that thou hast no taste
for these delights, if thou still preferrest sensuous
pleasures, if "divine philosophy, though musical as
is Apollo's lute," be harsh and crabbed to thy appre-
hension, and the harp and the viol of earthly banquets
•Unre thee, and thou be of those who "rejoice at the
sound of the organ," the ceremonies of bravery and
the trappings of ooorta, " the pomp of heraldry and
the boast of power," put by this volume, and go thy
way. Thy stolidity is impregnable; array thyself
with the oap and bells, and engage thy passage in
Barclay's Shyp of Foyls (q. nom.) : thy " talk is of
bollocks," and of such the Son of Sirach says:

" They shall not be sought for in public council, nor sit
high in the congregation : they shall not sit on the judges'
seat, nor nnderstaiSd the sentence of the judgment: they
cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not
be found where parables are spoken. .... All their de-
sire is in the work of their craft."

The History of England, as connected with a review
of English Literature, may be divided into six terms.

1. The British Period : firom the earliest times to the

Roman Invadon, B. C. 65.

2. The Boman Period, B. C. 66, A. D. 449.

8. The Anglo-Saxon Period, A. D. 449, A. B. 1066.

4. The Anglo-Norman Period : from the invasion of
William the Conqueror, A. D. 1066, to the acces-
sion of Henry the Third, A. P. 1216.

6. From the accession of Henry III., A. D. 1216, to
the accession of Elizabeth, A. D. 1668.

0. From the accession of EUzabeth, A. D. 1668, to the
middle of the nineteenth oentnry.

In this division we have not adhered to the olassifi-
oation of soma preceding writers, but we trust that
we have not innovated without sufficient excuse. The
death of Stephen de Langton, in 1228, coincides so
nearly with the accession of Henry III. in 1216, that
the synchronism offers a convenient boundary for the
Anglo-Norman period. The reign of Henry III. is
likewise historically memorable as that which wit-
nessed the shooting forth of that feeble germ (the
popular element) whioh has now become so great a
tree, that the Throne and the Altar, which once ob-
structed its growth, now repose only in safety under
its branches.

The advent of the English doctrinal Reformation
oanniot well be dated before the accession of Elisabeth,
and the literary lustre of that reign affords a strong
argument for its being adopted as a boundary between
the servility of the Latin period, and the vigorous
adolescence of the English tongue. We need hardly
explain that we use these terms respectively, in a
chronological and philological acceptation, without
any reference to the intellectual calibre of the writers
of these epochs.

In the earliest times of which we have any record,
we find the Celts, Cymry, Welsh, or Britons, the in-
habitants of the British isles. The origin of the early
population is involved in obscurity. The theory pro-
pounded by the Welsh priest, Tysilio, in the seventh
century, and gravely alleged by Edward I., in his let-
ter to Boniface, in the fourteenth, — ^that the inhabit-
ants of the southern part of Britain were descended
from the Trojans, — is now generally discredited by
antiquaries. Of conjectures, of course, there is no
end; and we have Aylett Sammes, contending for
the Phoenician origin of the first eolonizera of Bri-
tain and Ireland ; Sir William Betham, who insists
upon awarding the priority of occupation to the Plots,
or Cimbri of antiquity, and many other theorils as
ingenious as they are incapable of demonstration.

Of the language of this people we know but little :

" Though the Britaint or Wtlch were the first possessors
of this island whose names are recorded, and are therefore
in civil history always considered as the predecessor* of
the present inhabitants ; yet the deduction of the English
language, from the earliest times of which we have any
knowledge, to its present state, requires no mention of
them : for we have so few words which can, with any pro-
bability, be referred to Brituh roots, that we justly regard
the Saxon* and Welch, at nations totally distinct." — Dr.
Saxobl Johksoh.

"The language of Britain differed very little ftora that
of the QauL Some of the British bribes seem to have come
from Celtic, and others from Belgio, Qaol ; but it is proba-
ble, as indeed Strabo distinctly assures us, that the Celts
and the Belgians spoke merely two slightly differing dia-
lects of the same tongue. The evidence of the most ancient
names of localities throughout the whole of South Britain
confirms this account ; everywhere these names appear to
belong to one language, and that the same which is still
spoken by the native Irish, and the Scotch Highlanders ;
the latter of whom call themselves, to this day, Qaels or
Oauls."-— iETutory of Sngland.

The English language is a branch of the Teutonic,
or Gothio, which is the mother- tongue of many dia-
lects now prerailing in $tr«nX of the countries of

The Chriitian religion always implies or produces a certain
degree of etTfll^ and learning ; they then iMcame by de-
gree* acquainted with the Soman language, and so gained,
from time to time, some knowledge and elegance, till in
three eentaries they had formed a language capable of ex-
pressing all the sentiments of a cirilixed people, as appears
by King Alfred's paraphrase in imitation of Boethius, and
his abort preface, which I hare selected as the first sped-
mcB of andent English." — Da. Sakuel Johhsoic.

AboQt 1160, the Saxon began to take the form
vhieh was gradnally moolded to the proportions of
the modem English, though not without a most im-
.portant admixture of other elements. After the Nor-
man eonqnest, many Saxon words became obsolete,
and Latin and French ahoots were from time to time
grafted upon the present stock, until in tho fourteenth
and fifteenth oentoriea it began to assnme the form of
modem English. Tet Qower and Chancer are more of
a task than a pleasure to the ordinary English reader.

"Hothing can be more difficult than to determine, except
hj an arbitrary line, the eommenoement of the English
laagoage ; not so much, as in those of the continent, be-
caase we are in want of materials, but rather from an
oppoeite reason — the possibility of tracing a rery gradual
accession of rerbal changes that ended in a change of de-
nonunation. For when we compare the earliest English
of the thirteenth century with the Anglo-Saxon of the
tweUlb, it seems hard to pronounce why it should pass for
a separate language, rather than a modification or simpli-
fcatioa of the former. We must conform, however, to
usage, and say that the Anglo-Saxon was eonvertad into
English — 1, by oontraoting^ or otherwise modifying, the
pronunciation and orthography of words; 2, by omitting
many inflections, especially of the noun, and consequently
■wking more use of articles and auxiliaries; 3, by the
introduction of French derirations ; 4, by using less inrer-
sion and ellipsis, especially in poetry. Of these, the second
akme, I think, eaa be considered is snfflcient to describe a
new form of language ; and this was brought about so
gradnally, that we are not reliered of much of our difficulty,
wliethar some eompositions shall pass for the latest oSspring
of the mother, or the earliest fhiit of the fertility of the
daagfatar.'*— HaLUUf.

thft eminent philologer. Dr. Wbbsteii, has been

taken to task for asserting at the eonelusion of some
quotations flrom the Laws of Kings Athelbert and
Eadgar, that "we obserre by these extraots that
rather more than half the Saxon words baTe been
lost, and now form no part of our language."
The Dr. subsequently remarks :

"Mr. Meidinger of Frankfort, in the Introduction to his
Etymological and Comparative Dictionary of the Tento-
Gothio Languages, notieea this observation of mine, respect-
ing the proportion of Saxon words wfcich have been lost,
and then states the opinion of Mr. Turner, thst more than
fovr-fftkt of the words in modem English are of Saxon
origin. This difference in the two statements proeaeds
from a nrenmstaDce overlooked. My statsmant refers only
to the actual proportion of Saxon words retained in the
vocabulary, which is probably less than half of the whole
number of words in the language. Mr. Turner's state-
ment refers to the proportion of Saxon words actually iwerf
in oar common language, which is, doubtless, as great as
he represents it. The words of Saxon origin are the more
necessary words ; such as are wanted in all the common
concerns of life ; and therefore in use they compose the
body of the language." — ItitrodMetiun to Webtter't Bng-
liih Dielionaty,

It will be observed that we do not profess to enter
into the learning of philological investigation, or to
discuss the many modem dissertations npon this in-
teresting department of study. Sueb a departure
from our plan would be altogether u^justifiablew The
reader who desires to pursue this subject will find
Taluable guides in the prefawses and introductions to
Johmson's, WnsTSB's, and Biohakdboh's Mction-
aries, and in the works of Lte, Boswoeth, Tbokpi, \
Paooa, Paths, Clabe, Wxlsfobd, Habeisom, La- '
THAN, Sataox, Maclean, Marcst, &o.

Having taken a hasty review of the language, we
now proceed to the examination of the literature of
our ancestors.

The first two periods of our classification— the
British and the Roman — afford nothing to arrest our
attention :

"Whatever existed in those remote times deserving the
name of learning or scientiflo knowledge, never having
been committed to writing, and having eonaeqnently pe-
riabed with the general anbversion of the order of things
then established, cannot be regarded as having been even
the beginning or mdimental germ of that which we now
possess. The present literary civilisation of England dates
its commencement only from the Saxon period, and not
ttom a very early point in that."

The first name in the catalogue of Anglo-Saxon
writers is that of Gildas, said by William of Malms-
bury and Johannes Glastoniensis, to have died A.D.
612, which eariy date is inconsistent with other state-
ments in which his name occurs. Gildas is repre-
sented to have been a xealous missionary, the son of
Cam or .Ken, a British king, who reigned in the dis-
trict of Alcluyd, (Dumbarton.) To this writer, is
aaoribed, by Bede, a tract (in Latin) on British His-
tory under the Romans, and during the Saxon inva-
sion, &c. This work de Ezddio Britantueai is chiefly
compiled from Roman writers. Oiraldus Cambren-
sis mentions the epigrams of Qildas ; and Geoifrey
of Monmouth, John Brompton, and Bale, ascribe

theological and other treatiees to thia avthor. So far
are we removed from certainty on these questions,
that vhilat some contend for two of the name, others
deny that Gildas is any thing more than a fabulous
personage.

We may remark, in pursuing our sabjeot, that it
will be unnecessary for us to enter here into any Iiis-
torical details of the writers we shall mention ; as
those of any importance will be treated of in the
body of this work.

The reader should oareftilly peruse the Biographia
BriUmnka LiUraria, Anglo-Saxon Period, 1 toI.,
Ima., 1842 ; Anglo-Norman Period, 1 toI., Lon., 1846,
by that eminent scholar, Thomas Wright, A. M.,
Corresponding Member of the Institute of France,
(jleadJmw dn ltuety>tions et BtUet-Lsttra,) published

under the superintendence of the Council of the
Royal Society of Literature. To these works we
have been largely indebted for our notices of the
writers of this early age, and hare had so much con-
fidence in Mr. Wright's accuracy, that we have in-
corporated large portions of his sketches of eminent
authors, as Bede, Alfred, Neokbam, Jtc, into our
work, without notice of other authorities upon the
same sulgects. Tlus is the only case in which we
have so closely followed our authority; of course
credit has been given to Mr. Wright at the conclusion
of the articles, for the matter thus borrowed. We
shall increase our obligations to this learned gentle-
man by presenting the reader with the following

The foUowing remarks are interesting in this con-
nection :

"The poetry of the Anglo-Saxons was neither modal* ted
aeoording to foot-measore, like that of the Greeks and
Romans, nor written with rhymes, like that of many mo-
dem langnages. Its chief and aniTereal characterisdo
was a very regular allittralion, bo arranged that, in erery
coupiet there should be two principal words in the first line
beginning wiOi the same letter, which letter mast also be
the initial of the first word on which the atresa of the voice
falls in the seoond line. The only approach to a metrical
system yet disoorered Is that two risings and two fiiUinga
of the voice seem necessary to each perfect Une. Two
distinet measures are met with, a shorter and alonger, both
commonly mixed together in the same poem, the former
being used for the ordinary narrative, and the latter adopted
when the poet songht after greater dignity. In the mann-
scripts, the Saxon poetry is always written continuously
like prose, perhaps for the sake of eonvenienoe, bat the
division of the lines is generally marlied by a point

" The popular literature of the Normans in France and
England previous to the twelfth century is totally unknown
to OS. ... . However, as most of the popular literature
of this period was confined to the jongleurs, who were at
the same time authors and minstrels, and as it was proba-
bly seldom or never committed to writing, we have no
difficnlty in accounting for its loss. We know that there
were jongleurs In Nonnandy at an early period, and that
they followed their patrons to England. But we only be-
come acquainted with their compositions at a later period.
In literature, the Anglo-Norman language first makes its
appearance in poems of a religious and serioos character;
and it seems U^have first found a distiogaished patron in
Adelaide of Loovalne, queen of Henry L . . . . Most
of this religions and serions poetiy consisted in mere trans-
lations or paraphrases from the Latin, and the writers
make no farther pretension The only known Eng-
lish writers of Anglo-Saxon prose are Walter Hapes,
Bobert de Boiron, imd Luces de Oast, the authors of
some of the most popular romances of the eyele of the

Round Table It will be seen by this brief review of

the litcratore of the Anglo-Norman language daring the
twelfth century, that, until the close of the oentary, it haa
no great attraction beyond a few historical productions
which might as well hare been written In Latin, and one

or two metrical romances It wonld be in vain to

attempt a history of English literature in the twelfth cen-
tury, because every thing connected with it is vague and
uncertain." — Ste Introduction to Biog. Jtrit. Lit.

The reader will refer to the articles, CiBDMOR, the
monk (died about 680) ; Bedx (died 735) ; King Al-
raiD (died 901) ; Atraio of Canterbury (died lOOC) ;
Ctnew, Bishop of Winchester (died 1008); Wuir-
STAH, Bishop of Worcester, Archbishop of Tork (died
1023), &e. — for notices of some of the principal wri-
ters from the death of GOdas to the termination of
the Saxon Chronicle.

The Saxon Chronicle, the produetion of a number
of authors, professes to give a history of EngUsh affairs
from A. D. 1-1150, at which date it abruptly con-
cluded.

.\bont 1180? we have Layamon's metrionl transla-
tion of the Brul d'Anffleterre, of Wace, written about
1160, and itself a translation from Geoffrey of Mon-
mouth. This ingenious monk obliges us with a his-
tory of British oconrrences from Brutna of Troy,
who is placed long before the Christian era, to
Cadwallader, A. D. 689. Layamon seems to know
the original history only through the version of Mais-
ter Wace. Upon the same history principally, is
founded the Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester,
(lemp. Henry III. and Edward I.) who professes to
narrate the history of England from the time of Brn-
tus to the death of Sir Henry of Almaine.

thread of his story, are, in general, appropriate and dra-
matic, and not only prove his good sense, bat exhibit no

tion of the fint eramde, he Menu to change his nanal

This Chronicle consiBts of more than ten tboasand
lines, and Alexandrines at that! The Bodleian,
Cottonian, and Harleian MSS. of it are considered the
best. There is also one in the library of the
Heralds' College.

The next of the Rhyming Chronicles is Robert
Manning, or Robert de Brunne, (temp. Edward I.
and II.) the translator of Manutl da Picha and Peter
de Langtoft's Chronicle. This verse is shorter than
that of Robert of Olonoester, approaching the oeto-
^llabio stania of a later period.

The reader will find some specimens of the changes
of language in the periods which have now been re-
ferred to in an excellent work accessible to all — W.
& R. Chambers's Cyolopadia of English Literature.
Some valuable dissertations in the introductions to
Shaw's and Spalding's Histories of English Litera-
ture should also be carefully perused. For a history
of the English Metrical Romances, the period of
which we may assume to be 1800-1500, Warton's
History of English Poetry, and HalUwell's and Percy's
Beliqnes of Ancient English Poetry, should b« con-
sulted. The literature of this character was almost
•xclnrirely composed of versions from French origi-
nals. The theory of Sir Walter Scott respecting
Sir Tristem, and Mr. Warton's ascription of Thi
Life of Alexmder the Oreat to Adam Davie, are per-
haps hardly tenable in the present day. Among the
best known compositions of this period may be men-
tioned, Sm Oct, Thc Sqviki or Low Seobee,
Sib Dbookb, Ki^ia Robert or Sioilt, The Kino
or Tabs, IvpoMiDoa, La Most Abtob, Sib Thopas,
Sib Bctis, Sib Isbkbbas, Sib Libius, and Oawah
Aint Oalogbas. Let the reader eareAiUy peruse
Ellis's Historieal Introduetion on the Rise and
Progress of RomanUe Composition in France and
En^and ; prefixed to the Specimens of Early English
Uelrieal Romances. Of this valuable work a new
edition has been published, under the editorial care
•f the eminent antiquary, philologist, and cnthusias-
tie philomath, J. Orchard Halliwell, Esq., F. R. S.
(Bohn's Antiquarian Library, Xion., 1848: also pro-
enre The Chronicles of the Cmsades ; indeed all of
Ike volomes of this valuable series should be in the
hands of the enrions stodent.)

The following remarks are not without interest in
this eonneetion:

"That a elasi of men who oultirated the arts of amnie-
SHOt as a profsMion, were known and esteemed by the
Horaans of the time of the Conqaeit, Is undeniably proved
by the' evidence of Domesday-book ; in which we find a
etrtaSn Bedrie possessed of a large tract of land in QloDces-
ianhire, under the title of joadator ngit. The register,
ef eoane, does not explain the talents of this joenlator, or
ioDgieur; but it may be fairly assumed that they were
riaOar to tboee of the minstrel Teillefer, who, as Waoe
htforas as, ' moalt Htn ehanloHt,' and who preoeded the
Dike of Nocnaady at the battle of Hastings, 'singing
CharienagD*, and Holland, and Olivier, and the
I who died at Boneeevalles.' We are Airther in-
isnaed by Sainur, that he performed many marvellaas

feats of dexterify : throwing his lance into the air as if It
were a small stick; catching it by the point before he east
it against the enemy'; and repeating the same operation
with his sword, so that they who beheld him eonsidend
him as a conjuror —

L'an dit a l'a?tre ki eovelt,
Ke CO esteit enchantement,
Ke oil fesait devant la gen^
Quant, Ac.

Now, unless it could be proved that the Normans adopted
the profession of minstrelsy from the French, of which
there is no evidence, it mast follow that they carried it
with them from Denmark; and as Bishop Percy has
shown that a character nearly analogous existed. among
the Danes, as well as the Anglo-Saxons the derivation of
the minstrels from the SealiU and OU*-m*» of the North,
as established in the Essay prefixed to the ' Beliqaes of
Ancient Poetry,' seems to rest upon as fair historical testi-
mony as can be required in eonftrmaticn of sneh an opi-
nion."— ItUrodmetion to tJU BiM and Progratt of £omanti«
Compontioit, Me. j also peruse the Essay prefixed to P*r-
cji't BelifmM.

About the middle of the thirteenth eentory, the ap-
plication of poetry — theretofore confined to, 1. Chroni"
des, 2. Romances — to general subjects, manners,
morals, descriptive essays, &c., came into ose. The
reader must procure for a view of the essays of this
period, Mr. Thomas Wright's Political Songs and Spe-
cimens of Lyric Poetry, composed in England in the
reign of Edward I. : Reliquise Antiqnm, 2 vols. Lau-
rence Minot, in seoular, and Richard Rolle, in theolo-
gical poetry, are two of the prominent names of the
fourteenth century. About 1860 was completed the
Vision of Piers Plowman, the composition of a secular
priest named Robert Langlande. The poet sets forth
by allegorical representations the corruptions prevail-
ing among the ecclesiastics, and predicts a severe pu-
nishment as the consequences of such disorder. We
have in this singular allegory the characters of Mercy,
Truth, Conscience, Pride, Sir In-witt, See-well, Say-
well, Hear-well, Work-well, Go-well, &c. The reader
will not be surprised that such similarity of charac-
ters has led some critics to compare tliis ancient
poem with the Pilgrim's Progress.

It was about this period, say 1860, that the cha-
racter styled Blaok-Letter, or Old English, was first

We have now reached a most important landmark,
at which we may properly conclude our synopns —
the name of the Great Father of English Poetry,
GsorrBXT Cbaccbb, bom between 1828 and 1846.
We need hardly remark that the inscription on his
tomb, stating him to have died in the year 1400, at
the age of 72, is not based upon any known authority,
having been placed where it is, about 1 60 years after
his death. However, these are matters which are
discussed in the following pages, and therefore bio-
graphical details respecting individuals, and biblio-
graphical and eritical information regarding thmr
works, will not be expected here. We may now ap-
propriately introduce f^om the tables in the Compa-
nion to the British Almanac, as improved in George
P. Putnam's World's Progress, New York, 1861, a
Chronological Table of some of the principal British
Authors and their works, A. D. 600-1860. ,

The following may be named as among the best
mannals in the department of History, Divinity, Mo-
ral and PoUtioal Philosophy, Voyages, and Travels.

I. The History of England. Our favourite history
il the "Pictorial," published by Messrs. Charles
Knight & Co., 11 vols., with Index vol., imp. 8to.,
1849-50 ; from B. C. 66 to A. D. 1846.

We have given our opinion as to the merits of this
compilation, when treating of the works of J. Petit
Andrews, (q. t.)

As regards earlier histories, Hall's History of the
Houses of York and Lancaster, Leland's English An-
tiquities, Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, HoUingshed's
Chronicles, Buchanan's History of Scotland, Stowe's
Chronicles, Camden's Britannia and Reign of Elisa-
beth and James I., Daniel's History of England,
Speed's History of Great Britain, Hayward's English
History, Spelman's Antiquities, Lord Bacon's Henry
VII., Lord Herbert's Life of Henry VIII., Fuller's
Chnrch History and Worthies of England, and Ba-
ker's Chronicles afford sufficient materials to the most
enthusiastic lover of historic lore.

For the occnrrenees of the memorable days of
the Commonwealth, we have Harris's Charles I. and
Cromwell, Neal's History of the Puritans, Claren-
don's History of the Rebellion, May's History of
Parliament, and the works of Whitlocke, Hutchinson,
Prynne, Holies, Ludlow, &a. If we wish to see how
those sabjocts have been treated by modem writers,
we have Hume and Catherine Macaulay as the apolo-
gists of the Stuarts and of the Republicans, respeci-
ively, and the works of Oodwin, Foster, and Carlyle.
The following historical works should be oareAilly
read: Burnet's Own Times, Heame's History and
Antiquities, Strype's Ecclesiastical History, Eehard's
History of England, the mine of curious erudition in
Carte's History of England, and the Life of the Duke

of Ormonde, — Granger's Biographical ffistory of
England, Keightley's History of England, Sir James
Maokintosh's History of the Revolution of 1688,
Hallam's Constitutional History, Miller's George III.,
Croly's George IV., Mr. Macaulay's Commencement
of the History of England firom the Accession of James
U., and Smyth's Lectures on Modern History.

For a knowledge of the History of America, the
reader should consult Robertson's America, Botta's
Revolution, Irring's History of Columbus and his Fol-
lowers, Preseott's Conquest of Mexico, and Conquest of
Peru, Burke's Enropean Settlements in N. America,
and his Speeches on America, Grahame's, Hildreth'i,
and Bancroft's History of the United States, Sparks's
Life and Writings of Washington, Franklin, and Mor-
ris, Sparks's American Biography, first and second
series, Ramsay's Life of Washington, American Revo-
lution, MarshaH's Life of Washington, Washington
Irring's ditto, Holmes's Annals of America, Flint's
History of Mississippi Valley, Theodore Irving's Con-
quests of Florida, and the works of John Adams,
Hamilton, John Jay, John Q. Adams, Jefferson, Cal-
honn, Benton, Webster, Colton's Life of Clay, the pa-

Newman, Brongham, Alison, Jones, Whately, &e.,
will give the reader an insight into this vastly impor-
tant, though till lately much misunderstood, subject.
The Histories of Banking, by Hardcastie, Oilbairt,
Lawson, B«11, Gallatin, Gouge, &o., are useful works
See a list of choice works in Biography, Bibliography,
and Belles- Lettres, in the Preface to this volume, and
see Index.

We have now pursned the subject to a snffitdent
extent for this part of onr work. The reader will
see, by a reference to the Index of Subjects, that we
have mentioned but a very few of the books notioea
in our Dictionary.

We have, however, thought it well, in the preced-
ing pages, to group together under their appropriate
divisions, a number of works, many of which (in the
Historical department, for instance,) are not well
known to the ordinary reader.. Fall justice has been
done to the extent of our ability to these, and the
other departments of literature, in the sncceeding
pages of this volume. The author is not willing to
doubt that the an:doas labour of years which he has
sealously bestowed upon this work, upon which the
rising and the setting sun have so often found him
employed, will be abundantly rewarded by its fruits.
If he shall induce any to discover, in Literature, a
solace in sorrow, a companion in solitude, a safeguard
to morality, an incentive to virtue, and a guide to the
immortal spirit in its aspirations after the good, the
true, and the holy, he has served his generation and
BO far answered tho ends of his being.

As we have fVeqnently occasion to refer to the reigns of different Isnglish sovereigns without specifying
dates, — temp. Edward IL, temp. Henry IL, &c., — the following table of the Kings and Queens of England
[ttam PuUeyn's Etymological Compendium) will prove of great serrice to the reader.

Abbot, George, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1562-
I68S, was a native of Ouildford, Surrey. Anthony Wood
tells us, at the time he wrote the life of Robert, the brother
of Ooorge, that the house where these brothers, afterwards
so distinguished, were liom, was occupied as an ale-house,
bearing the sign of the Three Mariners ; it waa aituated
by the river's side, near to the bridge, on the north side
of the street, in St. Nicholas's pariah. Their father, a
cloth-worker, evinced a laudable seal for their welfare by
having them instruetad in the Free School of their native
plaee, and then sending them in snccession to Baliol Col-
lege, Oxford. The two boys, thus benefited by paternal
care, lived to reward this fatherly interest by the eminence
and usefulness to which they both attained. Robert be-
came Bishop of Salisbury, and Oeorge, the subject of our
memoir. Archbishop of Canterbury. George entered Ba-
liol College in 1578 ; became a Fellow in 1503 ; took his
degree of D.D. in 1567, and was chosen in the aame year
Principal of University College. He was installed Dean
of Winchester in 1600, and the year following was chosen
Vioe-ChancoUor of the University of Oxford, to which he
waa again elected in 1603, and in 1608. Dr. Abbot waa
one of the eight Oxford divinea to whom was committed
the duty of translating the New Testament, (with the ex-
ception of the Epistles,) when the version by command of
King James waa undertaken in 1604. Wood apeaka highly
of hia erudition :

" He was also a learned man, and had his erudition sll of the
old stamp. The thingi that he hath written show him to be a
man of pai^ learning, vlgUanee, and unwearied study, though
orerwhelmed with bnniiess.'' — Alhtn, (hmt.

When an eCbrt was made in 1608 to elTect a union between
the national churches of Scotland and England, Hume, Earl
of Dunbar, and Dr. itbbot were despatched to Scotland to
further this object. An arrangement waa made by which
the bishops were to be perpetual moderators in the diocesan
synods, and had the power of presentation to benefices,
and of deprivation or suspension. The preferment which
rewarded Abbot's successful management of this delieato
business, is the best evidence of the approbation wiUi
which he was regarded by his royal patron. The bishoprio
of Lichfield and Coventry became vacant in 1600 by th«
death of Dr. Overton, and Dr. Abbot was appointed hia
successor. In the next monUi he was translated to the
see of London, vacant by the death of Dr. Thomas Ravis ;
and Archbishop Bancroft dying in 1610, Bishop Abbot was
raised to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury,

It is not improbable that he owed his advancement a«
much to his adulation of bis royal master — whose love of
flattery is well known — as to the real merit which be un-
quuationably possessed, and his sincere attachment to the
Protestant cause, in which his parents had sufiered consi-
derably. In the preface to one of his pamphlets, the fol-
lowing specimen of ridiculous flattery occurs ; — speaking
of the king, he says :

It woold also appear, ft-om a letter of King Jamea'i to
Abbot, first pablished by Dean Sherlock, that his ideas of
regal power ware little liliely to give ofianoe even to sach
a prinee as James ; narertheless Abbot could sometimes
oppose the will of bis sovereign with great decision and
firmness, and his moderation in the exercise of his high
functions recommended him greatly to the Puritan and
popular party. He strenuously promoted the projected
match between the Elector Palatini and the Princess
Elisabeth, and performed their nuptial ceremony, on the
lith of February, 1S12.

" It was aoeeptable neirs," my Neal, " to the Sng^ilsh PuriUns,
to hear of a Protestant prince la Bohemia; and they earnestly de-
sired his niai^Kty to support him, as appears by Archbishop Ab-
bot's letter, who was known to speak the sense of that whole
party. This pr«late being asked his opinion as a prlry councillor,
while he waa confined to nls bed with tlie gout, wrote the fiillow-
Ing letter to the secretary of state : — ' That It was his opinion, that
the elector shonld accept the crown ; that ifngland should support
him openly ; and that as soon as news of his coronation should
arrlTe, the bells ahonld be rung, guns fired, and bonfires made to
let all England see that the Ung was detenuined to countenance
him.' The archbishop adds, ' It Is a great honour to our king to
have such a son made a king; metlilnks I foresee In this the work
of Ood, that by degrees the kings of the earth shall leave the
whore to deaolation. Our striking In will comfort the Bohemians,
and bring In the Dutch and the Dane, and Hungary will run the
same Ibrtnna. As for money and means, let us trust God and the
ParUament, as the old and honourable means of raising money.
This IktMn my bed, (says the brsTe old prelate,) September 12, 1619,
and when I can stand, I will do better serTlae."*

" The afflilr of the divorce of the Lady £ssex, has been consi-
dered one of the greatest blemishes of James's reten. The Ung
referred the matter to a court of delegates, conslBung of bishops
and civilians, which he expected would decide In fiivour of the
divorce; but the archbishop boldly resisted the measure, and sen-
tence was given In the lady's fiivour. On another occasion, the
archbishop set himself against the views and wishes of the king
and court, when these ran counter to a higher allegiance which be
owed. Happening to be at Croydon, In 1618, on the day when the
king's proclamation permitting sports and pastimes on the flab-
bath, was ordered to be read in all chupehoe, he fbcbade It to be
published In the church of that place." — Ckamw^fham'g Bioff, Hi»-

" In 1021, whilst taking a Journey Into Hampshire, the arch-
bishop was Invited 1^ Lara Zonch to bunt In Bramhill Park. Pre-
tending to be a woooman, he took up a crossbow to make a diot
at a buck, but unhappily hit the keeper, who had ran In among
the herd of deer, to Ming them up to a fclrer mark. The arrow
pierced the left arm, and dividing the large axillary vessels,
caused Instantaneous death. * He never spake after,' says Fuller,
<as the person, still alive at Croydon, who brought off his body,
lnft>rmea me.* This untoward event caused the greatest oonstoi^
natioa— the like bad never happened In the Church of Kngland;
It was a sore sffllctlon to many good men, who lamented the scan-
dal which must by this untoward accident Inevitably fidl upon
the church; filr In the eye of general councils, and the canon law,
tike anhUshop was wonderfully tainted, and made incapable of
perlbrming any sacred f^inctlon. By the common law, his personal
eststo was Ibrlelted to the king, who graciously sent him a letter
under his own hand, ' that he would not add affliction to his sor.
low, nor take one Ikrthing from his chattels and movables.*
Hackst, p. 66. But the scandal brought upon the church was
not so readily removed; it was a sul^ect of discourse In the fbreign
unlversltlss, and after three several dlsputatk>ns, was dedared by
the Borbonnlsts to amount to a positive Irregularity. To add to
the difllculty, four bishops elect were waiting for their consecra-
tion :— Dr. wilUama, eleei of LInwdn ; Dr. Davenant, of Salisbury ;
Dr.Oary, of Exeter; Dr. laud, of SkDavld's; all of whom, exoe^
Davenant, who was under personal obllg^ons to the archbishop,
scrupled to have his hands laid upon them, and declined his con-
aecfatlon; 'net out of enml^, or superstition, (says HAnxT,p.6«,)
bat to be wary, that they might n<A be attainted with the conta-
gion of his scandal, and uncanonleal condition.* To determine the
qnestlon, and settle man's minds, the king directed a commission
oo the 3d of October, to the Lord Keeper, (Williams,) the Bishops
of London, (Uonlwne,) Winchester, (Andrews,) and Rochester,
fBuekerMcej) to the elects of Exeter, (Csij,) and St David's,

The arvhbishop petitioned the king to be permitted to
retire, and spend the remainder of Ui dayi at bi* own almt-

honae at Onildford. — fibteeTs Letttn, p. 12S. Hoverer,
after tha decision of the commission, he returned to Lam-
beth, and resumed his (hnctions. A monthly fast and £20
per annum to the widow proved the sincerity of his grief.
Alter much iU health, which for a season caused a suspen-
sion of the discharge of his episcopal duties, he regained
his health in a great measure, as is proved by the following
anecdote, extracted from a MS. letter in the British Hn-
senm:

**One day the last week, my lord of Arundel, and his son, my
lord Maltravers, having espied my lord of Canterbury's oosch on
Barnsted Down, coining towards theirs, before they came a butt's
length short of It, both their lordships alighted, and wont a great
pace towards his grace's coach, who, when they were approached,
said, ' What! and must my lord Marshal of England take so great
nalns to do me so much honourT Were my legs as good ss my
heart, I should have met your lordships the better half of the
way.' Then my lord of Arundol replied, ' It might well become an
earl Marshal to give so much respect to an Ardiblshop of Canter
bury.* His grace, by his diet, hath so moderated his gout, ss it Is
now rather an Inflrmltv than a pain. He looks fresh, and onjoj's
his health, and bath nis wits and Intellectuals about him. io
that. If any other prelate do gape after his benefice, his giuoe, per*
haps, according to the old and homely proverb, f may] eat of the
goose which shall grass upon his grave." — Airi. MSS., 7000.

His grace was never married, and seems to have had a
natural antipathy to women. One day, (as Fuller tells ns
in his Appeal, Ac.) returning in his coach to Croydon,
from which he had been some time absent, many people,
most women, some of good quality, partly fVom curiosity
and novelty, crowded around his coach to see him. The
archbishop, unwilling to be gased at, and never partial to
females, exclaimed, somewhat churlishly, "What makes
these women here?** "You had best," said one of them,
" shoot an arrow at us." The archbishop died at Croydon
on Sunday, August 4, 1633. His remissness in matters of
church discipline has been much censured. — Rot^t Biog.
Did. I L'Ettnatgt'i Ckarltt I.

For further particulars respecting this prelate, the reader
is referred to ik» recorded opinions of his contemporaries,
Hacket, Fuller, OslMme, Clarendon, Sanderson, Goodman,
Heylin, and oUiers ; also to L'Estrange's " Reign of King
Charles," and the Biographia Britannioa.

When Orotius was sent to England upon behalf of the
" Remonstrants," he does not seem to hare made a very
favourable impression upon the archbishop, who draws no
flattering picture of the great scholar in a letter to Sir
Ralph Winwood. (See Biog. Britannioa.) Some extract*
Oom this curious epistle will not be nninteresting to the
reader.

" At his first coming to the king, by reason of his good latin
tongue, he was so tedious, and ftill (k tittle-tattle, that the klng*s
judgment wss of him, that he was some pedant, frill of words, and
of no great Judgment. And I myself dlseoveoing that to be his
habit, as If be did Imagine that every man was bound to hear him,
so long as he would talk, (which Is a great burthen to men replete
with builnesB,) did privately give him notice thereof that he
should plainly and directly deliver his mind, or else hs would
make the Ung weary of hlin. This, one would think, would prove
a Buffldent hint to the garrulous Hollander to repress his loqna.
dty, but It seems otherwise. Afterwsrdshefell toltsgain, aswas
especially observed one night at supper, at the Lord Bishop of
Ely'a whither being brought by Mr. Casaubon, (as I think,) my
lord Intreated him to stay to supper, which he did. There wsa
present. Dr. Steward, and another civilian, unto whom he filngs
out some question of that profession, and was so ftill of words,
that Dr. Steward afterwards told my lord, that he did perceive by
hfan, that like a smatterer, he had studied some two or three ques-
tions, whereof when be came In company, he must be talking to
vindicate his skill ; but If he were put from those, be woold show
himself but a simple fellow,"

What a character of the great Orotius ! He seeina to
have been a kind of ancient Coleridge, without the patient
audience, and remarkable power of attraction, which that
eminent conversationist so often eiOoyed. The hospitable
prelate of Ely seems to hare been as mncb overwbelined
with the tide of talk as were the guests :

wrote many works on Horticulture. His first work, the
Gardener's Calendar, was published in the name of Mr.
Mawe, gardener to the Duke of Leeds. For this loan of
his name, Mr. Hawe reoeived a gratuity of twenty guineas.
Abercrombie published fourteen works on his favourite
subject, the most important of which was The Universal
Gardener and Botanist, or a General Dictionary of Gar-
dening and Botany, exhibiting in botanical arrangement,
according to the Linniean System, every Tree, Shrub, and
Herbaceous Plant that merits Culture, Ac, London, 1778.

Abercrombie, John, M. D., 1781-1844, born at
Aberdeen. He was deservedly esteemed in his profession,
and equally so aa a writer upon Metaphysics. He made
the physician the instructor of the philosopher, and sanc-
tified tile knowledge of the one and the meditations of the
other by the most fervent piety. With these qualifications
for usefulness, the death of Dr. Abercrombie was indeed a
public calamity. He stodied in Edinburgh, and took his
degree there on June 4, 1803. He became a Follow of the |
Royal College of Surgeons in 1806. On the decease of the
celebrated Dr. Gregory, in 1821, he began to occupy the I
most prominent position as a practising and consulting
physician not only in Edinburgh, but in all Scotland.

His Sermons on the Being and Perfections of God were
widely celebrated, as is evinced by the many editions which
have been printed. Four volumes of Posthumous Sermons
were published in 1748, 1761, with a life of the author
prefixed.

Abemethy, John, 1763-1831, Surgeon to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, London, and Teacher of Anatomy
and Snrgery. His birthplace is a matter of doubt ; either
the town of Abemethy in Scotland, or Derry in Ireland.
He was sixteen years of age when apprenticed to Mr.
(afterwards Sir Charles) Blick, then Surgeon to St Bar-
tholomew's Hospital. At the age of twenty-two, he was
appointed Aaaistant Surgeon, and at the death of Sir Charies
Blick be succeeded to the principal post In 1703, ha
commenced his series of physiological and surgical essays,
which in 1797 were combined into an 8vo volume. In
1784, ha published part of his Surgical Observations, con-
taining a elaasifleatiofi of tumours, with cases to illustrate
the history of each species, Ac, and two years afterwards.
Part Second appeared, presenting an account of disorden
of the health in generiil, and of the digestive organs in
particular, which accompany local diseases and obstruct
their cure. In 1809, he gave to the public bis work on the
Constitutional Origin and Treatment of Local Diaease,
and on Aneurism. A separate volume was likewise pub-
lished by him on Diseases resembling Syphilis, and In-
juries of the Head; as also, (in 1814,) An Inquiry into
the Probability and Rationality of Hunter's Theory of
Life, in which he embodied the substance of the first two
lectures he delivered before the College of Surgeons, ai
their professor, and wherein he maintained and illustrated
the doctrines of his great mastar. He expired at his conn-
try residence at Enfield, April 20, 1831. His disease
was asthma, (complicated probably with diseased heart,
although he attributed much to the stomach,) and conse-
quent dropsy. His body was not examined, in occordonoa,
OS it is understood, with his own desire. As a surgeon,
Abemethy was surpassed by none of his contemporaries.
Hunter hod previously proposed and practised the appli-
cation of ligature on the femoral artery for the cure of
popliteal snonrism; and this principle was further and
snecessftilly extended by Abemethy to the external iliac
and carotid arteriei, in the treatment of the same disease in
some of their offsets. His simple and impressive style of lec-
turing never failed to enchain the attention of his andianca;
while a certain degree of dogmatism and contempt of those

who diffcrad from htm had too mooh th« effeet of nnder-

style is clear, simple, and concise. — Rot^a New Biog* Diet,
His great soccess in life mnst be, in a great measnre, attri-
buted to his having directed the attention of the public to
the influence of derangement of the organs of digestion
on all the diseaaea to whioh flesh is heir. This view of the
subject was not altogether novel, but the profession bad
not paid sufficient attention to it. Abemethy always op-
posed, with great zeal, the artificial line of demarcation
drawn between surgery and medicine ; he considering the
two soienees as " one and indivisible." Let the reader
imagine a snug, elderly, sleek, and renetable-looking man,
approaching seventy years of age, rather below than above
the middle height, somewhat inclined to corpulency, and
still upright in his carriage, with his hair most primly
powdered, and nicely curled round his brow and temples.
Let them imagine such a person habited in sober black,
with his feet thrust carelessly in a pair of unlaced half-
boots, and his hands deposited in the pockets of his '' pe-
eulian," and they have the " glorious John" of the pro-
fession before their eyes. — Phytic and Phftieiant. Aber-
Belhy's nideneas of manner is well known, and was a great
blemish in the character of one who really possessed a
most benevolent heart. We subjoin some anecdotes of this
eminent physician, oolleotad from various souroes.

His eccentricities disgusted so many patients, that Sir
Astley Cooper used to say, "Abemethy's manner was
worth a thoaaand a year to him"

Some of his patients he would cut short with—" Sir, I
have heard enough ! Ton have heard of my book T"
" Tea." " Then go home and read it" To a lady com-
plaining of low spirits, he would say, " Don't come to me !
Go and buy a skipping-rope I" Sometimes, however, he
met with his match : — Cutting a gentleman, one day, short,
the paUent suddenly locked the door, slipped the key into
bis pocket, and protested he would be heard; which so
pleased Abemethy, that he not only complied with the
patient's wishes, but complimented him on the resolute
Banner he adopted.

He was a great enemy to prolix explanations on tiie part
of his patienta. " People come here," he would often say,
"to eonsnlt me, and they will torture me with their long,
foolish, fiddle-de-dee stories ; so we quarrel ; and then they
blackguard me all about this busy town ; but I can't help
that." A lady, determined to treat him after his own
babioB, having in some way injured her thumb, on enter-
ing his room, merely thrust it out towards him, with — " Hy
thumb, air F' " Ton, madam," said he, " are the only sen-
sible woman I ever had for a patient."

The Duke of W , having insisted on seeing him out

•f his usual hours, abruptly entered bis parlour one day ;
ke asked him how he got into the room. " By the door,"
was the reply. " Then," said Abemethy, " I recommend
yon to make your exit by the same way." He renised to
attend George the Fourth until he had delivered his lecture
at the hosfutal ; in consequence of whioh he lost a royal
amrintmenL

Ob Abemethy's leeeiving the appointment of Professor
•f Anatomy and Surgery to the Royal College of Physi-
daos, • professional firiend observed to him that Ihoy
shouM have something new. "What do you mean?"
asked Abamethy. " Why," said the other, " of course you
win brash up the lectures which you have been so long de-
livering at BL Bartholomew's Hospital, and let us have
Unm in an improved form." " Do yon take me for a fool
or a knave?" rejoined Abemethy, " I have always given
liia stodenta at the hospital that to which (hey were enti-
fled — the best produce of my mind. If I could have made
■7 leetoies to them better, I would certainly have made
them so. I will give the College of Burgeons precisely the
■ane leetnree, down to the smallest details ; nay, I will tell
flie old fellows how to make a poultice." Soon after, when
he was lecturing to the students at St. Bartholomew's, and
adrertlBg to the College of Surgeons, he chnckllngly ex-
daimed. "I told the Dig wigs how to make a poultice."
It is said, by those who have seen it, that Dr. Abemethy's
•xplaaation of the art of making a poultice was irresisti-
bly entartaiaing. Bis hobby retained fhll possession of
Us Bind to the and of bis life. He attributed, as we have
sssB, his disease in a great measure to the stomach. He
said, "It is all stomaoh: we use our stomach ill^when we
anyonng, and it uses us ill when we are old."

He wrote for Dr. Kees's Cyclopssdia the anatomical and
physiologieal artielee, from the letter A to the word Canal ;
of which that on Artery is considered the most important.

whioh he was so fond of referring bis patients, was the
" Surgical Obaervationa, Ac" ( See Nos. 2 and 3 above.) He
thus addresses a patient, "Well, sir, as to the question of
diet, I must refer you to my book. There are only about
a docen pages, in which you will find (beginning at page
73) all that is necessary for you to know. I am christened
' Doctor Hy-Book,' and satirized under that name all over
Bngland; but who would sit and listen to a long lecture
of twelve pages, or remember one-faalf of it when it ia
done? So I have reduced my directions into writing, and
there they are, for anybody to follow, if they please."

Able or Abel, Thomas, an English divine, exeonted
at Smithfleld, temp. Henry VIII., 1540. The title which
follows sufiBciently explains the offence given to the king ;
to which Able added the still further provocation of de-
nying Uie king's supremacy in matters eccIosiasUcal :
1. Tractatus de non dissolvendo Henrici et Catherinta
matrimonio, Invicta Veritas. An Answer that by no man-
ner of means it may be lawful for the King to be divorced
from the Queen's Orace, his lawful Wife. The king did
not, as in the case of Luther, attempt to oonfbte Dr. Able
by polemical arguments, but this being a question where
the sword was Ukely to be more powerfU than the pen,
his majesty brought into requisition a logic whioh has
never foiled to silence — if not convince. Dr. Abie's rea-
soning may have been perfect, but he argued at a disad-
vantage. Between a syllogism and an axe the contest it
unequal. The king gained his point, for he was divorced,
and remarried; while good Dr. Able sealed his teatimony
at Smithfield.

Abraham, J. H.. Jnrenilo Eusyi, Ae., I<ondon, 1806.

Acca, died 7^0. In the eonraa of his nnmeroni writ-
ing!, Bede introdaeas the namea of aarenl of his litemy
friends, most of whom, m we leun Arom other sources,
were eminently distinguished for their learning and virtues.

Many of the most important of his oommentaries on the
Scriptures were composed at the desire of Aoca, Bishop
of Hexham, and dedicated to that prelate. Aeoa was a
man of considerable learning, and gnat piety ; he had re-
oaived his first instructions among the congregation of
leholan assembled around Bishop Bosa, and he quitted
their society to place himself under Wilfk«d, who ordained
Um a preabytar. He continued to be one of Wilfred's
molt faithful followers until his death, accompanied him
on his last journey to Rome, (where he finished his studies,)
and was chosen to luoeeed him in the see of Hexham.
Bede describes the seal with which he laboured to adorn
and enlarge his church, and to enrich it with " a most
amp^ and noble library." In 731, when Bede completed
his history, Aces is mentioned as still holding the bishop-
ric of Hexham ; but soon afterwards, in 732 or 733, be was
driven from it for some cause now unknown. He seems
to hare retired to Whitem, (Candida Case,) where he re-
mained a few years. The date of his death is uncertain ;
but the best authorities place it on the twentieth of Oo-
tober, 740, when his body was carried to Hexham, to be
buried in the church which owed to him so much of its
iMauty. Bale and Pits hare so far misunderstood the
words of Bede, as to attribute to Acea a eolleetion of lives
of the saints whose relies were deposited in the church of
Hexham, and a treatise, " De ecclesiasticis sui ohori olE-
oiii." On the same authority also, Leyser places the name
of Aeoa in the list of medissval Latin poets. Leland speaks
as having seen a ooUection of his letters, one of which,
addressed to Bede, is still preserved, in which he urges
that scholar to devote his learning to the illnstiation of
the Scriptures. — Abbreviated from WrigWi Biog, BrU. Lit.

Alfheh, at whose desire it was written, and who was
raised to the see of Canterbury in 1006. Adalard's Life

Addison, Joseph, 1672-1719, one of the most emi-
nent of English authors, was the eldest son of Lancelot
Addison, D.D., Dean of LichSeld, the author of some theo-
logical treatises noticed hereafter. Joseph was bom at
Milston, near Ambros-Bnry, Wiltshire, May 1, 1672. After
passing through his praliminary studies at Amesbnty and
Salisbniy, be became an inmate of the Charter-house,
where he made the acquaintance of a youth who subse-
qnently became celebrated as his assoeiata, and an im-
portant literary character . — the names of Kiehard Steele
and Joseph Addison have become so oloseiy united, that
they must descend in unbroken partnership to the latest
generations. At the age of fifteen be was entered at King's
College, Oxford, whore his father had preceded him. He
here applied himself with such diligence to elassioal learn-
ing, that he " acquired an elegant Latin style before ha
arrived at that age in which lads usually begin to write
good English." The excellence of his Latin poeby soon
made him famous in both universities. At a later day
these fruits of early scholarship were ooUseted and pub-
lished in the Musss Anglicanss.

When about twenty-two years of age, he addressed some
verses to Dryden, commending his translations, which
were highly praised by the most eminent judges, and were
so fortunate as to elicit the plaudits of Dryden himself. A
translation of the greater part of the fourth book of Vir-
gil's Oeorgics, confirmed the good opinion which the great
poet was inclined to entertain of the abilities of this yonth-
Ihl follower. The excellent critioal preface to Diyden'g
version of the Oeorgics, and many of the arguments, were
firom the pen of the new aspirant to poetical distinction.
A running criticism in verse on some of the principal
English poets, addressed to Sacheverell, and some other
productions of merit, still (hrther increased the reputation
of tbe author. So flir, all was most encouraging; but
this " fancied life in others' breath," as one of the poets
styles Fame, was an nnsnbstantial dependence for the every-
day necessities of life. At this jnnctnre, in 1695, a poem
addressed to King William, on one of his campaigns, de-
dicated to Lord Keeper Somers, secured the favour of this
nobleman, and a pension of £300 per annum. About this
period he published his Latin poems, inscribed to another
great man of the day, Mr. Montague, tbe Chancellor of
the Exchequer, afterwsxds Lord Halifax. It is said to have
been chiefly owing to the discouragement of this eminent
statesman, that Addison resigned his original intention of
taking holy orders. Other acconnts represent his own
humility to have suggested to his mind distrust of his
qualifications and fitness for a position so sacred and re-
sponsible. Whether the voice of ambition at this season
of yonthftal trinmph was permitted to drown the pleadings
of conscience, it is impossible to decide ; but there appear
to us to be many intimations in the fhtnre writings of the
lay moralist, that the convictions of religious duty ever
remained stranger than the arguments by which they were
overrated. About the end of the year 1699, Addison de-
termined to gratify an inclination which insuflicient means
had heretofore obliged him to postpone, and he left Eng-
land on a visit to tbe classic soil of Italy. Fortunately, we
an not left to conjecture what must have been the efibcts
of scenes so inspiring upon a mind so well educated to ap-
preciate their power. In his remarks on several parte of
Italy, in the years 1701, 2, 3, we have a record of bis im-
pressions, which deserves more notice than it receives in
the present day, or indeed has secured in any preceding

feneration of readers. The death of King William, in
702, brought a new set of statesmen in power, and the
loss of Addison's pension awakened the young traveller
fVom his classic dreams of past ag«s to the necessary pro-
vision for the day which was passing over him. He re-
turned home, and foimd himself in England with no means
of livelihood, and no prospects beyond the uncertain de-
pendence of a literary hack. He was not allowed to remain
long in this nnenviable condition. The battie of Blenheim,
fonght August, 1704, had excited the attention of Europe
to the conquerors, and the opportunity must not be lost to
celebrate ue event in the most august strains of which
the poetic muse was capable. Lord Treasurer Oodolpbin
inquired anxiously for a poet, and Lord Halifax named

Addison u the proper penon. Mr. Treanmr Boyle, afler-
warda Lord Carleton, wai sent to piefer the request to the
poet, who, u it will readily be belieTed, immediately un-
dertook the duty. Tac CAurxtan was written, and the
■uceesefal bard became Oommissiooer of Appeals, and in
170t, Under-Secretary of State. There was mnch wisdom
in this appointment The aid of sneh a penman was not
to be despised by any ministiy, howerer powerful. The
Present State of the War, an anonymons pamphlet, pub-
lished in November, 1707, was credited to the new secre-
tary. In 1709, our poet attended the Harquis of Wharton
to Ireland as secretary. Whilst absent, Steele published
the first number of The Tatter, April 12, 1709.

He soon became a most useful contributor to his friend's
paper. He also oontribnted fire articles to a political pa-
per, The Whig Examiner, the first number of which ap-
peared on the 11th September, I7I0. The Tatler was
brought to a close, January 2, 1711, and the first of the en-
suing March, the Speetator made its appearanee. This
periodical, of which as many aa 20,000 copies were sold in
a day, still retains its popularity. Addison's contributions
may be known by the signature C. I> I. or (X, forming the
word " Olio." The Ouardian, commenced March 12,
1713, was also largely indebted to Addison. In 1713 ap-
peared the celebrated tmgedy of Cato, which was acted for
thirty-five successive nights, notwithstanding Pope's opi-
nion that it was not so well suited to the stage as it was to
the closet. In this year was published a political squib of
our author's, entitled The Trial and Conviction of Count
Tans'. On the breaking oat of the lebdlion hi I7I5,
Addison supported the goTcmment withi great rigour in
the Freehold', which was published fh>m September 23
to June 29, of the next year. His rerses to Sir Godfrey
Kneller, and a few other minor pieces, were given to the
world about this time.

In 171S, he married the dowager Countess of Warwick :
of this match Dr. Johnson remarks :—" This marriage,
if uncontradicted report can be endited, made no addition
to his happiness ; it neither found nor made them equal.
She always remembered her own rank, and thought her-
self entitled to treat with very little ceramony the tatos of
her son." He breathed his last at Holland-house on the
17th June, 1719, when just entering the 48th year of his
age. " Before be expired, he sent for his step-son, the Earl
of Warwick, then in his 21st year, and while the young
nobleman stood at his bedside to receire his commands,
grasping his hand, he saidhahadcallad him that he might
see with what peace a Christian oodd die. He left an only
daughter by the countess."

Sir Biehard Steele acknowledges himself indebted to
Addison for a considerable part of his comedy of the Taa.-
der Husband, which appeared in 1704; and be is also
known to be the author of the Drummer, or The Haunted
House. Some papers in a oootinuation of The Spectator,
which was attempted, but soon dropped, and one or two in
a publication of a similar nature, entitled The Lorer, were
o6ntributed by him during the years 1718 and 1714.

It is well known that Addison has always laboured under
the suspicion, not only of eorying bia great Ktarary rivals
Pope, but also of exhibiting that envy in the most unjus-
tifiable manner. We hare not space to enter upon this
question at lengUi. How far he may hare prompted the
rirulenoe of Philips and the slander of Oildon, is not likely
to l>e satisfhctorily aacertained at this late hour. We refer
the enriona reader to Sir William Blackstone's able paper
in the Biographia Britanaica, ami to- the article Additon,
in Rose's New Biog. Diet. Bbckstone, certainly a com-

Ktent judge of evidence, considers that Addison's memory
a been much calumniated, although he admits that the
publication of Tickell's (?) version of the Eiad just at the
moment of the appearance of Pope's traaslatio* was " in-
discreet and iU-timed."

The literary merits of Addison have been discussed at
length by Dr. Johnson in his Lives of the Poets. Perhaps
we cannot better please and edify our raaders than by
quoting some opinions of the great critic, together with
Uiose of other authors, upon the writings and oharacter of
one who most always ooonpy the first rank in the list of
English classics :

** If any Judgment be made fVom his books, of his moial efaarao*
ter, nothing will be found but purity and exoellenea. It k Justly
Obaiirrad bj Tlrkell, that be smplojred wit on the side of rlrtne and
lellglon. He not only made the proper use of wit himself; but
taught It to othera, and from his time it has been genermllr sub-
servient to the caniie of reason and of truth. No greater laUclty
can genius attain than that of having pnrMed Intellectual plea-
sure, separated mirth liora Indeoenoy, and wit firom UoentiousDeBS ;
tt having taught a snoceaalon of writers to bring elsganoe and

gayety to the aid of goodness; and, If I nay nas exprasdoaa yet
more awftal, of having ' turned many to righteousneea.'

** His ssntenoes have neither studied amplitude, nor affected
brevity ; his periods, though not diligently rounded, are vol nble and
easy. Whoever wishes to attain an English stylo, Ihmlliar, but
not coarse, and eieftant, bat not ostentsflons, must give his days
and nights to the study of Addison."— Da. Joaasoif.

" Mr. Addison wrote very fluently; but be was sometimes veiy
slow and scrupolooa In correcting. He would show his verses to
several Mends; and wmld alter almost every thing that any of
them lilnted as wrong. He seemed to be too dlffldent of himself;
and too much conoemed about his character as a poet; or (as he
worded It) too solldtons fiir that kind of praise which Is but a
very little matter after all I Many of his Spectators he wrote very
ikst; and sent tbem to the presa as soon as they were written. It
seems to have been beet fbr him not to have had too mnch time to
correct. Addison was perfsctly good eompany with Intimates ; and
bad aomethlug more charming In his conversation than 1 ever
knew In any other man: bat with any mUture of strangers, and
sometimes only with one, be seemed to preserve bis dignity much,
with a stiff sort of sUenee." — Pori: Spatc^s JntetUjIa.

"There Is a grtyve at Magdalen CoUegs which retains the name

ot Addison's Walk, where still the student wiU Unger Never,

not even by Dryden, not even by Temple, had the English lau-
riiage bean written with such sweetness, grace, and (Klllty.
But this was the smallest part of Addison's praise. Hsd he
clothed his thoughts In the haU-Frendl style of Hmbcs WalpolSk
or In the half-Latin style of Dr. Johnson, or In the balMerman
Jargon of the present day, his genius would have triumphed over
all molts of manner. As a monl satirist he stands unrivalled. If
ever the best Tatlers and Spectators were equalled In their own
kind, we should be inclined to guess that It must have been by
the lost eomedtes of Menander. In Wit. properly so called, Addi>
son wse not In&rlor to Cowley or Butler. No single ode of Cow-
ley contslns so many happy analogies as are crowded Into the
lines to Sir OodAey Kneller; and we would undertake to collect
from the SpActators as great a number of Ingenious lUustiatlons
as can be found In 'Humbras.' The still falgner flMulty of Inven-
tion Addison possessed In still larger measure. . . . But what
shall we say of Addison's humour f . . . We own that the hu-
mour of Addison Is, in our opinion, of a more delicious flavour
than the hsumonr of either Swift or Voltaire." — T. B. Macaclav.

** Pope's charwcter of Addison Is one of the tmest, as well ss
one of^the best, Uilngs be ever wrote. Addison deserved that
elmracter the moat of any man. Tet how charming are his prose
writlngsl He was as much a master of humour as he was an In-
different poet." — Dh. Locxisa, Dean of Peterborough.

"Mr. Addison did not go any depth in the study of medals: all
the knowledge he had of that kind, I believe he had fVom me;
end I dU not give Um above twenty lessons upon that subieet." — F.

"Mr. Addison would never alter any thing after a poem was
once printed; and .was ready to alter almost every thing thst was
found fbnit with before. I believe he did not leave a word nn-
changed that 1 might have any scruple against In his Gate." — P.

as between two and tliree in the height of summer, and lie a-bed
tSI between eleven and twelve In the depth of winter. He vras

" Old Jacob Tonson did not like Mr. Addison. He bad a quarrel
with hkn : and alter his quitting the secretaryship used frequently
to say of him, * One day or other yon'U see that man a bishopi
I'm sure he looks that way; and. Indeed, I ever thought him a
priest in his heart.' "—P.

" It was my flite to be much irlth the irlts. My fcther was ae-
qnalntod with all of them. Addison was the beet company In the
world." — Ladv M. W. Hontaou.

" Addison usually studied all the morning, then met his party
at Button's; dined thsfe, and stayed flve or six hours, and sosne-
thnes fkr Into the night. I was ot the company for about a year,
but found It was too much for me, and so I quitted It" — Pora:

"To the keenest peieeptlon of the beantlfU and snbllma in
composition, he added a taste preeminently delicate and oorreet,
and the most engaging and nsdnatlng style that this oonntiy
had ever witnessed; with these were combined the most nnri-
valled humour, a morality lovely and Interesting as It was pure
and philanthropic, and a flincy whose effusions were peculiarly
swset, rich, and varied."— Da. Dxaki.

Dr. Blair censures Addison for occasional rednndanciei,
and gives some instances from Nos. 412 and 413 of the
Spectator. He proceeds to romark :

" Although the free and flowing manner of such an author aa
Mr. Addison, and the gracelbl harmony of his periods, may palli-
ate such negligences; yet In general, It holds that style need

** Addlsoa wrote little In verse, moeh In sweet, elegant, >' irglUan
so let me eall It, since Longlnus calls Uerodotus most
'e; and Thncydldes Is said to have fbnned his style on
Ptndar. Addison's oompodUons are built with the finest mate-
rtala, in the taste of the ancients. I never read him, but I am
■tmek with such a disheartening idea of perfection, that I drop
Bj peu. And, Indeed, ikr superior writers should forgot bis eom-
aodtioDS, If they would be greatly pleased with their own." — Da.

"In rsAnad and delicate humour Addison has no superior, If he

what a lesson should It read to the conductors of our periodic

■■Grsater energy of charaeter, or a more determined hatred of
vies and ^rianny, would have onrtalled his usefulness as a public
coBsor. He led the nation insensibly to a love of virtue and
eoostitutloual fVoedom, to a purer taste In morals and literature,
and to the importance of those everlasting truths which ao
warmlr enpised his heart and lmaglnatlon."~RoBEXT Craxbxrs.

In eoncloding onr sketch of this eminent author* we
may obeerre, that perhaps no English writer has been so
foitoiuUe as Addison in uniting so many dlsoordant
tastes in a ananimous rerdtot of approbation. Browne
'am» fa«ea thought pedantie, Johnson inflated, Taylor son-
eeited, and Burke exnbersot; but the graeeful simplioity
of Addison delights alike the rnde taste of the unedu-
cated, and the elasaie judgment of the learned. Hia ex-
<I«i^e hnsMHir ehams oar yonth, and his affeoUonate ad-
monxtieu impress npon ear hearts those religioas rerities

We subjoin a Ust of Addison's works: 1. Remarks on

several parts of Italy in the years 1701, 1702, 1703, London,
1705, 1718, 1761. The same translated into Latin, under
the title of Addisoni Epiatola Missa ex Italia, ad illustrem
Dominnm Halifax, anno 1701. Auctore A. Murphy, 1799.
2. Campaign ; a Poem with a Latin version. 3. Poems,
1712. 4. The Five Whig Examiners, 1712. 5. Cato; a
tragedy, 1713. The same in Italian and French, 1715.
In Latin, under the following title : Calo Tragsedia, Auo-
toro Clarissimo Viro Josepho Addison inter Anglia nostne
Prinoipes Poetas, jure nemerando, omissis Amotoriis
Scenis. Latino Carmine Versa, 1763. This translation
has been commended as

"In general elegant, and executed wUh great spirit. The
style af^HToaches that of Seneca, the tragedian."

6. Kssay oonoeming the Error in Bistribnting Modem
Medals, 1716. 7. A Poem to the Princess of Wales;
another to Sir Godfrey Kneller, 1716. 8. Freeholder,
1716. 9. The Drummer, or the Haunted House, 1716. 10.
Freethinker, 1722. 11. Dissertations on the most cele-
brated Roman Poets; Knglished by Charles Hayes, 1718.
12. Notes upon the Twelve Books of Paradise Lost, eoU
lected 1719. 13. Dialogues upon the Usefulness of An-
cient Medals, especially in relation to the Latin and
Greek poets, 1726. 14. Ode to Dr. Thomas Burnet, 1727.
15. Divine Poems, 1728. 16. On the Evidences of the
Christian Religion, 1730. 17. Discourses on Ancient and
Modem Learning.

His papers contributed to The Tatler, Spectator, Guar-
dian, and Freeholder, together with his Treatise on the
Christian Religion, were collected into 4 vols., Edinburgh,
1790. In the Tatler his papers have no signature; in the
Spectator, as we have remarked, they are either C. L. L
or 0. (Clio.) In the Guardiaa, they are marked by a
hand.

<* Nothing stamps the Uteiarr reading of the present day with
a more exalted character than the Ibct of the profitable republlsh-
ment of tbe old Engllah clashes. We congratulate the public
upon liaTlng It in their powo* to purohase an edition of Addtson's
works, so complete as this promises to be, such an ornament to
the llbmry as It will prove, and edited with so much tact. To
undertake to praise the writings of Joseph Addison Is a work of
supererogation. It is luflldent to say, that more persons have
formed uelr style on his proes writings than on those of any
other Snglish writer."

Addison^ liancelot^ D.D., 1632-1703, father of
the preceding, was bom at Crosby Ravensworth, in West-
moreland, He was tbe son of a clergyman, and adopted
the same profession. He was noted at college for his ac-
quirements. Not being in favour with the rulers of the
day, he obtained no preferment until the Restoration. His
first post was that of chaplain at Dunkirk. He was ap-
pointed king's chaplain in 1670, Dr. Addison wrote a
number of works, which met with a moderate share of
approbation. Thoy relate principally to the early history
of Mohammedanism, to the present state of the Jews,
and to the sacraments of the Christian church, published
1671-98.

Agasaiz, Lonis Jeam Rodolphe, Iwm 1807, at
Metiers, Canton of Freybnrg, in Switxerland. His ances-
tors were of French origin, and were among the nomber
of those Protestants who, in 1685, at the time of the Revo-
eation of tbe Edict of Nantes, were farced to fly from France.

Hia father, who was a Protestant minister, intended him
for the ehnrch ; but, owing to an intuitive love for Natural
History, he preferred tbe study of Medicine, as affording
a ftiller scope for the bent of his genius. To carry out
this design, be entered the Medical School of Zurich, but
oompleted his profhssional studies at the University of
Heidelberg, where he particularly devoted his attention to
anatomy, under the direction of Professor Tiedemann. As
a student and anatomist, he gained a reputation far above
his compeers. Almnt this time be acquired some celebrity
among his fellow-students as a lecturer on Natural Histo-
ry ; but very soon bis eztensiTe knowledge and accurate
discrimination attraated the notice of men of science.

From Heidelberg he entered the ITniTeraity of Munich,
whore he remained four years. His rare attainments in-
duced Martins to employ him to prepare the ichthyological
department of the Natural History of Braail, which added
greatly to bis scientifio fhme. His parents remonstrated
against this dOTotion to science, and, flnding persuasion
ineffectual, determined to reduce his regular stipend ; but
hia unmitigated ardour, and indomitable perseverance in the
pannit of his Ikvoarite studies, attracted the notice of the
great German pablisher, Cotta, who adraneed him snch
rams as he required. After taking the degrees of Doctor
of Medicine and Philosophy, he repaired to Vienna, where
he entered npon the study of fossil flshea. Through the
liberality of a friend, he visited Paris, whan he gained th*
40

friendship of Cuvier, which eonUnned till his death. At
Paris he became intimately acquainted with Hnmboldt.

Agassix was appointed Professor of Natural History bl
tbe College of Neufch&tel, on his return to Switieiland,
Here he remained until 1846, when he' embarked for Ame-
rica, and soon after was appointed Professor of Zoology
and Geology in the Lawrence Scientifio SchooL At thirty,
he was a member of nearly every soientifio academy of
Europe, besides having the degree of Doetor of Laws eon-
ferred on him by the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin.

He first promulgated the Glacial Theory in 1837. T«
eollect facts relating to this subject, ha spent eight snmj
mers upon the glacier of the Aar, 804)0 feet above the level

He next published the Letters from a Father to a Son.
From 179S-1807 he was literary editor of the Monthly
Magaiine. In January, 1807, he started the Athenaenm,
wUeh was diseontinued in 1809. He commenced, in 1796,
a G«neral Biography, in which Mr. Nicholson, Dn, En-
field and Morgan, and others, assisted him. This work
extended to ten quarto volumes, and was published 1799-
181&, having employed the doctor neariy twenty Jisasnj
yet time was fonnd by him for various other Uterary works.
— Rot^t Sao Biog. Diet. Widely dilTerent opinions have
been entertained as to the merit of Aikin's Biographieal
Dietionaiy. Mr. Oifford calls it a " worthless compilation,"
whilst Roeeoe, In his Life of Leo X., praises it as "a work
which does not Implicitly adopt prescriptive errors, but
erinees a sound judgment, a manly freedom of seotinent,
and a eorreet taste." Here is a vast difibrenoe of opinion !
We find some reference to this work in Mr. Soathey's Cor-
lespondenee :

From 1811-15, he edited Dodsley's Annual Register. In
1820, his last publication, the Select Works of the British
Poets, (Johnson to Beattie,) made its appearance. A OOU'
tinnation of the series by other hands has been published.
Dr. Aikin died December 7, 1822. He was emphatically
a literary man. Dr. Watt gives a list of about fifty publi-

Ailred of BieTanx, 1109-1166. The name of this
•minant writer, which was properly Ethelred, is variously
spdt in old maanseripts, Ailred, Aelred, Aired, Ealred,
Alured, Ac Ailred, tne most usual form, appears to be
merely a north-conntry abbreviation of Ethelred. He was
bom in 1109, and was educated in company with Henry,
•on of David, King of Scotland, whose nriendship, as well
aa that of his &ther, be continued long to eqjoy ; and the
latter would have raised him to a bishopric, but he prefer-
red entering himself as a Cistercian monk in the Abbey of
Bievanx, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Here his vir-
tncs and abilities were soon acknowledged by his fellow-
monks, and he was made master of tiie novices. His
monkiab biographer tells us that his extraordinary sanctity
iraa asbibited by miracles which he performed almost in
his ehildhood. After remaining some time at Rievaux,
Ailred was removed to be made abbot of the monastery of
Beresby in Lincolnshire, which was a more recent founda-
tion of the Cistereian order. He died on the 1 2th of Jana-
a>7, 1164, at the age of fifly-seven. As an historical writer,
Aibad has little importance in comparison even with the
ordinary chroniclers of his age, for he too generally pre-
fer! Improbable legends to sober truth. His historical
works are not very numerous. They consist of, 1. The
LiCs of Edward the Confessor, which has bean frequently
printed. 3. An aeoonnt of Uie Battle of the Standard,

Jtrinted by Twysden. 3. A work entitled in the old cat»-
ogne of Rievaox, De Generositate et Moribus et Morte
regis David, which Uso has been printed by Twysden, who
givMitthetlUe OenealogiaiegnmAnglorum. This book,
ac£eatad to Henry II. Wore his aocossion to the throne.

begins with an aeoonnt of David, King of Scotland, which
is followed by a brief history of the Anglo-Saxon and
Anglo-Morman kings. The old bibliographers have made
more than one book out of this tract 4. The Life of St.
Margaret, Queen of Scotland, which is only preserved in
an abridged form. 6. The Story of a Nun of Watton in
Yorkshire, who was seduced and afterwards repented.

8, 7. The early catalogne of the library of Rievanz,
printed in the Reliquiie Antiqura, enumerates, smong Ail-
red's writings, a Tita Sancti Niniani Bpiscopi, and a trea-
tise De Hiraculis Hagustaidensis Ecclesiss. The Life of
St Ninianns was formerly in MS., Cotton. Tiberius D. 3,
now neariy destroyed. The Miracles of the Church of
Hexham are preserved in the Bodleian Library. John of
Peterborough, under the date 11&3, observes, "Here ends
the chroniele of Ailred." Ailred'a theological writings are
more numerous, and consist of, 8. Thirty-three homilies or
sermons, De Onere Babylonis, on the thirteenth, fourteenth,
fifteenth, and sixteenth chapters of Isaiah, addressed to
Gilbert, Bishop of London, and therefore written after IlSl.

9. The Speculum, -or Mirror of Divine Love. 10. A Com-
pendium Speeuli Charitatis. 11. A dialogue De Spirituali
Amicitia, the plan of which arose Oom the perusal of the
treatise De Amicitia of Cicero. 12. A tract on the words
of the evangelist, Cum factus esset Jesus annomm duode-
cimo anno Christi, which is sometimes entitled De duo-
decimo anno Christi. This work, and the four preceding,
were collected and printed at Douai early in the seventeenUi
century, by Richard Gibbons, a Jesuit, and were reprinted
in tbe Bibliotheca Patmm. 13. Liber de Institutions In-
dusarum, or the Rule of Nuns. This, iMing found with-
out the name of the author, was printeid among the works
of St Augustine, but it was given under Ailred's name in
the collection of monastio rules published by Lucas Hol-
stenhu. It is enumerated among Ailred's works in the
early catalogne of the Rievaux library. 14. Be wrote a
considerable number of homilies and sermons, some of
which have been printed. Thirty-two of his sermons are
intermixed with those of St Bernard in a manuscript at
Lambeth, and twenty-five Inedited sermons of the same
writer were printed in the Bibliotheca Cisterciensium.
li. A large collection of epistles by Ailred appear to be
entirely lost 16. His dialogue De Natura Animn is pre-
served in the Bodleian Library, MS. Bodl. Mus. 62.
17. Tbe old catalogue of Rievaux mentioni a work by
Ailred, entitled Fasciculus Frondium.

His rhythmical prose in honour of St Cnthbert, aa well
aa his " Epitaph on the Kings of Scotland," is lost, unless
the latter be the prosaic Chronicon Bhythmieum printed
at the end of the Chronicon of Mailros, in the edition by
Mr. Stevenson. Among the manuscripts of Caius College,
Cambridge, according to Tanner, there is a version of the
Life of St Edward in Leonine Latin Elegiacs, ascribed to
Ailred, and commencing with the line, —

Ainaworth, Henry, D.D., d. 1802, data and place of
birth unknown. He beoamo a Brownist in ISOO, and suf-
fered in the persecutions which that sect endnnd. Be
found a refuge in Holland, where he laboured with Mr.
Johnson in raising a cbnrch at Amsterdam, and in com-
piling A Confession of JPaith of the People called Brown-
ists. He was noted, eren in his youth, for his knowledge
of the learned languages, especially for bis skill in the
Hebrew tongue. He applied himself with great diligence
to the study of the Rabbins, and is thought to hare owed
his death to his seal for the conversion of the Jews. Har-
ing found a diamond of great value, he restored it to its
•wner, a Jew, who begged him to accept a reward. Ains-
worth stipulated for an opportunity of a disputation with
some of the Kabbis upon the Old Testament prophecies
relating to the Messiah. The Jew acceded to his request,
but unable or unwilling to perform his promise, had the
sealons divine poisoned, thus evincing the odium theolo-
yieumtoaremarliabledegree. Narrations of this character
are to be received with great caution. His Annotations
on the Psalms were printed in 1S12, 4to ; on the Fentatauch,
X voU. 4to, 1621 ; and (folio) in 1627 and 1639. His trea-
tise, A Counter-Poison against Bernard and Crashaw, 1608,
excited much attention, and was answered by Bishop HaU.
Few authors have been more quoted by learned men of
various countries than Dr. Ainiworth. Walcb observes of
hjj Commentaries on the Psalms, " Monstrant istas erudi-
tionem non mediocrum ao merito laudantur." In 1690,
tbs work was translated into Dutch, and Poole has incor-
porated the substance of it in his Latin synopsis.

Dr. Doddridge and Dr. Adam Clarke express a high
pinion of the value of the Annotations.

Ainsworth, Robert, 1660-174.?, well known as the
author of a work which many profit by at first against
their will — the Dictionary of the Latin Tongue. Mr.
Ainsworth was bora at Woodyale near Manchester. His
Dictionary cost him twenty years' labour, and was first
published in 1736. It was dedicated to that eminent
scholar, one of the brightest ornaments of the medical pr»-
fession. Dr. Richard Head, of whom we shall have morf
to say in his plaoe. Of the Dictionary, there have been
improved editions by Patrick, Ward, Young, Carey, Ao.
This work was far better than any that preceded it, Since
its publication the treasures of the Latin tongue have
been greatly developed by classieal scholars in Germany
and elsewhere. The lexicons of Oesner, Facoiolati, Bbel-
ler, Georges, and Freund are of inestimable value to the
student. The Wbrterbuch der Lateinischen Spraobe of Dr.
Wilhelm Freund was published in Leipzig in four volumes,
eontaining 4500 pages, in the following order: voL L
(A— C) in 1834; vol. iv. (R— Z) in 1840; vol. ii. (D— K)
in 1844; and voL iiL (L — Q) in 1845. Upon the basis of
this work Dr. B. A. Andrews's Lexicon is founded.

mischievous character might be very appropriately pub-
lished OS a series, under the title of the " Tyburn Plutarch."
We are glad that the author has struck upon a better vein
in his later works of fiction. The Tower of London, Old
Saint Paul's, Windsor Castle, and Bt James's Palace, are
thought much more creditable to the novelist than the

In 174Ji he published hia flrat eolleelion of odes, and
■oon after commenced the practice of medicine at North-
ampton, whieh be quitted for Hampstead, and in two
years and a half for London, His generous friend, Mr.
Dyson, who had Iwfvre drawn his pen on hia behalf, now
generoosly drew bis purse, and made him the handsome
allowance of £800 par annum. In June, 17il, the Royal
Oollege of Physicians associated him aa a licentiate, and
ia April, 17M, he waa elected a Fellow of the College,
baring received a doctor'a degree the preceding year by
mandamna at Cambridge. In 1759 he received the ap-
pointment of aasiatant physician to St Thomas's Hospital,
and was shortly after made one of the phyeioians to the
qneen. He was selected by the College of Physicians to
deliver tha Snlstonian lectures in 1755, and the Crvonian
in lT64b Akenside waa obtaining conaiderable eminence,
when be was attacked by a putrid fever, which proved
Ibtal on the 23d of June, 1770, in his 49th year. We
sboold not omit to mention that hia thesis npon taking
bis degree of M.D. at Leyden, entitled De Ortn st lucre-
mento Pcetna Hnmani, took new grounds upon the subject,
which experience haa since confirmed.

In bis professional conduct to the indigent patients
plaeed under bis charge, Akenside cannot be too mnoh
blamed. Dr. Lettsom, a pupil at the hospital, tells some
unpleasant truths respecting thia matter, which the bio-
gnpher would gladly apare. Ho waa

"Saperefllona and oafeeling. Tf the poor affH^bted patients
did not return a direct answer to bis qnerlea, he would Instantly
diatharn tbam ftem tlie bcepKal; he evinced a partlenlar dla^vt
to V-t't- and saaeiallj treated theaa with harshness. One lag
of Akenside was eoosidenibly shorter than the other, which
obliged hfan to wear a fldse heel. He hsd a pale, atnunoos coan-
tenanee, bnt was always very neat and elegant In hia dreaa. lie
wore a large white wig, and carried a long aword."

We are told Aat aometimea he would order some of the
attendants on his visiting days to precede him with
brooms to dear the way, and prevent too near an approach
of the patients. Biography is a faithful Mend to the
race, when obliged to register the faults and follies of
genina. The living an thus tanght circnmspection in
Uieir "walk and conversation." How little did Akenside
suppose that a century hence thousands who admired the
poet, would be forced to detest the physician, and despise
the fop I The pride of Akenside, and his rough treatment
of bis indigent patients, are the more striking when we
conrider that he himself waa a pensioner of the generons
Jeceaiah Dyson. His lofty pretension, too, was suicidal to
Ut pride, as it was ■ eontinoal reraembranoer of hia obacure

parantaga ^-obseare, bat no snhjaat for sbama. Aa a ion

of a butcher, he was perfectly respectable ; when aping
fashion and rank, he waa supremely ridiculous. Roche-
foucauld truly says that "we are never ridiculous for
what w* an, but only for what we pretend to be."

We turn to a more agreeable theme. The Pleasures of
tba ImaginaUon fans been deservedly commended lor all
the exccu^enoies of style, language, and illustration which
constitute a poem of the first order. Dr. Johnson speaks
of it as raising expectations that were not very amply
aatiafied :

**lt haa, undoubtedly, a Junt claim to very particular notice, aa
an example of great (ellelty of Keulua, and uucomiuoa amplitude
of acquialtions; of a young mind stored with Imagea, and much
exercued In combining and comparing them. . . . The subject la
well cfaoaen, aa it Indudea all imagea that can atrike or pleaae, and
thua eomprlaea every apedea of poetical delight."

Pinkarton.

Tet when Mr. Elliott (father of Lord Minto) was com-
mended for his eloquent speech in support of tbe Scoteb
militia, he exclaimed,

" if 1 was above myieU; I can account ffar It; for 1 had been
animated by the anblhne ode of Dr. Akenalde."

Gray censures the tone of false philosophy which ii to
b* obsarved in the Pleasures of the Imagination :

"The pleasune which this poem professes to treat o<; proesed
either from natural ohjecta, aa fhnn a flourishing grove, a clear
and murmuring Ibuntain, a calm sea by moonlight, or fhim worka
of art, anch aa a noble ediflee, a maaloBl tnne, a atatne, a picture,
a poem."

Dr. Dibdin denominatea Akenside

"The most frfect builder of our blank rerss. Why are hia
Pleasures of the Imagination so little perused t There an a hun-
dred (I had wellnigh aald a thouaand) electrical paaaagaa In thia
charming poem."

" In hia poem, aa an elegant eritle haa observed wHh great pro-
priety, he has united the grace of Vh^gil, the colouring of MOum,

Campbell remarks :

" If any young man of genius, classical learning, and poetical
ardour, would present the world with a Greek tranalatlon of
Akenaide'a Hymn to the Naiada, and aubmit It to the correction
of an experlaneed Greek acfaolar belbre publication, he might e^

In speaking of Akenside as a physician, we hare already
given him credit for the new, yet legitimate, ground as-
sumed by his thesis De Ortn et Inctvmento, Ac.

" HIa principal medical work, Be Dysenteria Commentarins, has
been commended, and is still to be valued, fbr the elegance of Its
Latlnlty. Patholon haa made great advances since the time of
Akenside, and the cUstlnction between inflammatkin of the serous^
raoseiilar. and mnooos texturaa, are now better nnderatood. The
treatment of dysentery depends upon the condition of thoee stme.
tnrse, and Akenside's book is thereftne no longer sought after but
as a spedmen of elegant oompoaltlon.'*

Alan, Allen, or Allyn, William, 1532-1594, car-
dinal of the Church of Rome. His name occurs as one of
the translators of the New Testament, Rheims, 1582. Ha
was the author of a number of works, principally in de-
fence of his ohnreh, of srhich be was so lealous an adwo-
oate that he used hiainfl.aence to persuade Philip of Spain
to invade England. Indeed, he wrote two books to prove
the efficacy of the Bull of Sixtus V., by which he con-
tended that the queen was accursed and deprived of her
crown, and her sulyects no longer bound to allegianoa.
Fuller says :

'* Hear what different oharaeteni two authors of seveial pc^
snaaions besiow upon him. ' He waa somewhat above an ordt.
naiy man in statnre, comely of countenance, oompoaed In his cal V

Aland, John Fortescne, first Baron Fortescne of

A collection of reports taken by him, and eaUed by his

**8o highly were his literary attainments esteemed, and his
judicial merits appreciated, that the Unlveoraity of Oxibrd coniiBmd

Aland was a friend of that eminent Saxon scholar, Wil-
liam Elstob ; and in the preface to his Book of Absolute and
Unlimited Monarchy, he gives an account of Elstob's pro-
ject of compiling a very valuable edition of all the Saxon
laws, both in print and MSS. This design was cut short
by Elstob's death. See Nichols's Literary Aneodotes, voL

Alcaia, 7S5-804. The last of the distingnished
Aa^o^Saxons, whose name shed lustre on the empire of
the Fraakish monarchs in the eighth century, was Alcnin.
There is only one early life of Alcuin, which it anonymous,
and was written in 829, by a person who obtained much
«f Ilia information from Sigalf, Alouin's friend and dis-
etple : it is printed in the editions of Alcnin'a works, in
the AeU 88. Old. 8. Bened. of Mafaillon, in the collection
of Sarins, and in the Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists.
The richest source of information relating to his history
is his Epistles. Much has been written oooceraing Alcnin
in modem times; a sketch of his life is given by Mabil-
km ; a more extensive life was composed in Latin by the

E 'nee-Abbot Frobcnins, and prefixed to hit edition of
works. More recently Alcuin's life has been published
by Dr. Frederick Lorens, Professor of History at the Uni-
versity of Halle, (1839,) translated into English by Jane
Maiy Slee, (sm. Svo, London, 1837.) Bom at York about
flw year TSS, of a noble family, Alouin was scarcely
weaned from his mother's breast when he was dedicated
to the ehnreli, and intmsted to the care of the inmates of
tta monastery ; and on reoebing the proper age he was
placed ia the school of Archbishop Egbert, Sien cele-

brated for the nnmber of noble youths who crowded thither
to imbibe inatmction i>om the lips of that prelata. Al-
cnin was distingnished above his fellows by his applica-
tion to the study of the sciences, which were taught by
Egbert's kinsman, Aelberi, who succeeded him in 786 in
the see of York, and in the management of the schooL
Alcnin was Aelbert's favourite pupil; when about twenty
years of age ho was chosen to accompany him on a visit
to the Continent in search of books and of new discoveries
in science, and on that occasion he resided a short time at
Rome. In 781, Alcuin visited Parma, on his return from
Rome, and there mot with Charlemagne, who had also
been at Rome. That monarch was then meditating the
foundation of scholastic institutions throughout his domi-
nions, and being well informed of Alcuin's great reputa-
tion for learning, if not already personidly acquainted
with him, he invited him to setUe in France, and to be-
come his adviser and assistant in his projects of reform.
Alcuin readily complied with the king's desires ; but he
continued his journey home to fulfil his original commis-
sion, and to obtain the consent of the Archbishop of York
and the King of Northumbria (Alfwold) to the proposed
arrangement With the approbation of his spiritual and
tcfliporal superiors, having chosen some of his own pupils
as companions, he returned to France in the year 782.

The position of Alcuin at the court of Charlemagne
during his firs( residence in France has been compared
and contrasted with that of Voltaire and other learned
foreigners, who were patronized by Frederick the Great
Without holding any actual employment, he lived as the
friend and counsellor of the Frankish monarch, was the
companion of his private hours, which were spent in dis-
cussing questions of theology and science, and acted as
the instructor of his children. After remaining about
eight years in France, he resolved to return to York.
Charlemagne begged him to come back speedily, and make
the court of France bis lasting home ; a request to which
Alcuin was willing to consent, if he could make it consist-
ent with his duties to his native country. "Although,"
he said, " I possess no small inheritance in my own coun-
try, I will willingly resign it, and in poverty serve thee;
let it be thy care to obtain the permission of my king and
my bishop." Alcuin came to England in the year 790, as
ambassador ttom Charlemagne to King Ofia, to arrange
some misunderstanding which had arisen between these
two great monarchs. From 792 to 796 Alcuin continued
to reside at the court of Charlemagne, in the same relation
to his patron as before bis visit to England. His position
was rendered agreeable, not only by the favour of the
royal ikmily, but by the soeiety of a circle of learned
friends; yet his happiness was fkeqnently interrupted by
grief at the troobles with which bis naUve country was
visited.

Alcuin's letter to the monks who had eseaped ttom the
massacre at Lindisfkme will serve as a specimen of his
epistolary style. We give some extracts :

In 803, Alonin's tetl in defending the privilege* of the
ehuroh drew npon him the tempomry displewure of Chnrle-
megne, and hie grief on that occasion probably hastened
his death. He died at Tonra, on Whitannday, the lOth of
Hay, 804, and was baried with great pomp in the chnreh
of Bt Martin. An epitaph, written by himself in Latin
elegiaes, was placed on his tomb, and is preserved by his
. ancient biographer.

The Kpistles form the most interesting portion of AI-
enin's works, not only as being the principal sonroe of in-
formation relating to his character and life, bnt for the light
which they throw npon contemporary history. Thongh
his Latin is far tnm pnre, these Epistles are in general
clear and dignified ; the latter chsractsristic sometimes de-
generates into inSated pomponsneas. Next in importance
to the Epistles, are his Poems, which are extremely varied

the deatraction of liindisfame by the Danes, and a con-
siderable number of epigrams, epitaphs, and genigmata.
The best of these poems in point of composition, and that
which has been most frequentiy quoted, is the Elegy on
the Sestmetion of Lindistame. Latin poeby did not floa-
rish in the age of Alcuin, and it is not mnch in favour of
this piece to say that it is superior to most of the poems
of the time. The following reflections on the uncertainty
of human happiness, are perhaps the most striking pas-
sage it contains :

The theological ivritings of Alcuin are generally divided
into three classes : bis Commentaries on the Scriptures,
which are characteriied by the same partiality for typical
Interpretations as characterises those of Bede, his Dog-
matic Treatises, and his Liturgic Works, (Opera Litorgica.)
- The Commentaries consist of we Questions and Answers on
the Book of Oenesis, which were translated into Anglo-
Saxon, the Comments on the Penitential Psalms, on the
Bong of Solomon, and on the Book of Bcclesiastes, the
Interpretationes Nominum Hebraicomm, and the Com-
mentaries on St. John, and on the three Epistles of St
Paul. Hia principal Dogmatic writings are the treatises
de Fide TrinitaUs and De Prooessione Bpiritns Saneti, and
his books against Felix and Elipandus, Under the head
of Opera Litarnca are classed the Liber Sacnunentomm,
the treatise De Psalmorum Usu, the OflSoia per Ferias, and
the tracts De Yirtatibus et Vitiis and De Anlnus Ratione.
To these works are joined four lives of Saints, three com-
piled by Alcuin, those of St Martin of Tonra, of St
Bicharius, and of his countryman Wilbrord, (the latter in
prose and in verse,} and one, that of Bt Vedastns, com-
posed by an older writer, bnt corrected and edited by him-
self. The traets which Alenin compiled for the purposes
of instruction are few, and are not remarkable for their
manner or the information they contain; they consist of
four treatises, De Qrammatioa, De OrthograpUa, De Rhe-
torica et Virtntibns, and De Dialeetioa, with several brief
traota, some of which an of donbtftil authenticity. The

ALC

last editor of the works of Alenin has given a coUeetioa
of pieces either donbtftU or decidedly supposititious, among
which the only one of any importance is the Confeaaio
Fidei, which has been believed by many soholars and theo-
logians to be a genuine work of the preceptor of Charie-
magne. There can be no donbt that some of the writing*
oiAlcnin are lost : among these the most important most
have been the Biography of Charlemagne, attribnted to
him on the anthori^ of an expression of Eginhard; though
it is somewhat doubtful whether such a work ever ezistMl.

Many of the writings of Alcuin were published sepa-
rately, or in colleotions, during the Itth century. His
worlu were first printed collectively, bnt very impo^eeUy,
by Andri Duchesne (nnder the Latinised name of Andreas
■Queroetanus) in 1517. A far more complete edition was
published in 1777, by Frabenins, Prince-Abbot of St Sm-
meram at Ratisbon. But this also might be rendered much
more perfect by a collection of the manuscripts preserved
in our English libraries. Many of the separate editions of
the writings of Alcuin are extremely rare. It is probable
that some of them have entirely eecaped our researche*.
Of other* we can only speak from the indications of biliUtv.
graphers. Some of the letters have been printed singly in
books, which, it was not considered neoessary to point oat
It may be observed that the manuscripts in England eon-
tain several inedited letters.

AlcUkelm. We shall meet with more than one great
scholar formed by the teaohing of Theodore and Adrian.
The most celebrated of these waa Aldhelm, a scion of the
illastrions family of the West-Saxon kings. Aldhelm was
bom in Wessex ; but the date of his birth is uncertain,
although it maybe placed with sufficient probability about
the year 6$8. Aldhelm waa not a yoluminous writer. The
works which alone hare ^Ten celebrity to his name are
his two tieatiset on Virginity and his .Snigmata. The
proae treatise De Lande Virginltatis continued to bo a fa-
Toorite book with our Anglo-Saxon fore&thers up to the
time of the Norman Conquest, and numerous early manu-
scripts of it are still preserred. Aldhelm's Latin compo-
sitions have been frequently cited as an example of the
fiiise style of the early Anglo-Latin writers. Eren as far
back as the 12th century, William of Malmsbnry felt him-
self obliged to offer an apology for him, grounded on the
taste of the age in which he lired. His writings are on
the one hand filled with Latinised Qreek words, and with
awkward expressions that render them obscure ; while on
the other they abound in the alliterations and metaphorical
iaaguage which characterised his native tongue. Aldhelm's
prose is much less pleasing than his Terse, because it is fhr
less harmonious.

Alexander, Archibald, D.D., 1772-1851, was a na-
tive of Rockbridge eonnty, Virginia. He was educated at
Hampden Sydney College, and studied theology with Rev.
Mr. Graham. He was licensed to preach October 1, 1791,
ordained by the Presbytery of Hanover, June 9, 1794, and
for some years was a pastor in Charlotte and Prince Ed-
ward. He was chosen President of Hampden Sydney
College in 1796, pastor of the 3d Presbyterian Church in
Philadelphia in 1807, and first Professor of Didactic and
Polemic Theology of the Princeton (New Jersey) Theolo-
gical Seminary on its establishment in 1813, which olBoe
he retained until his death in 1851. Dr. Alexander's cha-
racter was most exemplary in all the relations of life. His
principal works are, Evidences of Revealed Religion ; On
the Canon of Scriptnre; Christian Experience; History of
African Colonisation ; History of the Israelites ; Annals of
the Jewish Nation ; Advice to a Young Christian ; Bible Dic-
tionary ; Counsels fh>m the Aged to the Yonng ; Thotights

After Dr. Alexander's decease, tiicre was pub. ftom his
MS. a work entitled Outlines of Moral Science, 1852.

" Though not aspiring to tlie dignity of a treatise, it forms a most
eompact and couveuient text-book. . . . The aattior has had a clear
perception of the limits of liis subject, and has not aimed at malElug
ft a manual of * the whole duty of man. ' . . . It is a calm, clear stream
of abstract reosonlog, flowing ftom a thoughtful, wcll-instracted
mind, w] tbont any parade of logic, bnt with an intuitive simplidty
and directness which gives an almost axiomatic force. From this
characteristic we could almost have conjectured what is stated in
the preface, that the study of ethical philoeophy was the author's
bTourita pursuit for at least threescore years, and ttiat for forty
vears it formed a bxancli of academic instraetioa in connection with
his theological course." — WtMim. i?ev., Jan. 1S63.

AlAed the Great, 818-901, the youngest child of
Bthelwolf and Osburgha, was bom in tLe royal manor of
Wantage in Berkshire, where the kings of the West-Sax-
ons had a palace, supposed to have ijmn built on the site
of a Roman station. History has preserred sereni aoae-
dotes of the childhood and youth of this great prinoc
He was distinguished above all his brotiien by his beauty,
graceful manners, and early display of talent, and was on
that account the fkTonrite of his parents. Alfiwd's elTotta
for the restoration of literature in England were gtaat,
and to a certain degree successful. The following work*
were either written by liim or lure been attributed to him :

1. In order to make his subjects more generally ao-
qnalnted with ancient history, Alfred translated into EBg>
iisfa the historical work of Orosins. A manuscript of this
translation is in the Cottonian Library, Tiberius, B. 1,
from which it was printed by Daines Barrington. Ano-
ther copy is now, with the other manuscripts iwlonging to
the Lauderdale Library, in the possession of Lady Dyaart

3. The Anglo-Saxon reraion of Bede's History of the
Anglo-Saxon Church has also been generally attributed to
Alfred. Manuscripts of this work are in the Public Li-
brary of the Unireraity of Cambridge, and in Corpus
Christ! College, Cambridge, No. 11, the latter of which
Iwlonged to Leofric, Bishop of Exeter. The other manu-
script (H8. Cotton. Otho, B. xi.) was destroyed by the
flre in the Cottonian Library. This book also has been
printed.

3. Alfivd translated for the more especial use of his
clergy the Pastorale of Pope Qregory, and is said to IiaTo
sent a copy of it to each of his bishops, whose names
were severally inserted in the translator's preface. Three
of the original copies thus sent are still preserved, ad-
dressed to Wulfsige, Bishop of Sherborne, (in the Public
Library, Cambridge,) to Wmrferth, Bishop of Worcester,
(in the Bodleian Library, MS. Hatton, No. 88,) and to
Plegmnnd of Canterbury, (MS. Cotton. Tiberius, B. xl.)
The latter is very much injured by the fire. The Cam-
bridge MS., which had lieen preserved in the cathedral of
Wells, and was sent by Bishop Jewel to Archbishop Par-
ker, is as clean and fresh in appearance as when it came
from the hands of AliVed's scril>e, and is a noble specimen
of Anglo-Saxon writing. The Cottonian MS. Otho, B. li.,
now destroyed by the flre, contained a copy from tiie one
sent by the king to Hehstan, Bishop of London, appa-
rently of the 10th or beginning of the 11th century. There
is also a somewhat later transcript of Wulfsige's copy of
the Pastorale in the library of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge, and another manuscript of the book in the library
of Corpus Christi College, No. 13. This work has not
been printed. The Dialogues of Pope Oregory were
translated by Wssrferth, Bishop of Worcester, under Al-
f^^'s direction.

1. Another work of the king's, which is still preserred.
Is a select translation of the Soliloquies of SU Augustjna.
A oopy of it is in MS. Cotton. Yitellius, A. xv., but it has
not been printed.

5. One of the most interesting of Alfred's translations
is that of the treatise of Boethiua De Consolatione Philo-
sophise, a work exceedingly popular daring the Middle
Ages. It is more freely translated than his other books,
and exhibits, more than any of them, the philosophical
tnm of Alfred's mind. The original is said to have been
glossed for the king by Asser, to render it more easily in-
telligible. A manuscript of this work, written in the
common hand of the lOth oentniy, Otho, A. vi., has been
so much injured by Are that it consists only of a few
ragged leaves. A transcript of it is preserved among the
manuscripts of Junius in the Bodleian Library. Another,
written towards the hennning of the 12th century, ia in
the Bodleian Library. It has l>een twice printed.

6. Alfred's Manual, or Hand-book, (as he called It,) ex-
isted in the time of William of Malmsbury. Asser says
that it was about the sise of a Psalter, aad that Alfred
entered in it prayers and psalms, and his daily observa-
tions, and that he always carried it abont with him. It
appears, from William of Malmsbury, that it also contidliad
historical anecdotes and miscellaneous entries.

7. William of Malmsbury informs us that the king, at
the time of his death, had commenced an Anglo-Saxon
version of the Psalms, which he left unfinished; some
have pretended that Alfiwl translated other parts of the
Bible

8. Most writers who hare given lists of Alfred's works
include among them what they call AUVed's Proverbs.
This work, which has been recently printed, is preserved
ia two mannseripts^ in MS. Trin. ColL, Cambridge, B. xir.

tion of moral inatructiona in Terae, conveyed in popular

and to bis aon, but it baa no claim to be ranked among
his worka. Thia traot mnat have been in exiatence early
in the I2th century, for it ia mentioned by Ailred of
Rievaux.

9. The tranalation of Eaop'a Fables attributed to King
Alfred was probably not more genuine. Our knovledgo
of this book ia derived ftom the Epilogue to the fablea of
the Anglo-Norman poetess Marie, who aaya that ahe
translated them from Alfred'a English version :
" Esope apelmn oest llvra,

Qu Ml ttanslata e fiat eaerfae;

Se Giiu en Latin le tuma.

LI reia Alvres, que mart I'aua,

Le tranalata puis en £nglels;

£t Jeo I'si rimfie en Franoels, etc.**

MS. Harl., No. 978, fiU 87, en.

Some of the monuscripta of these fablea give a different
reading of the name, but that of Alfred is the best sup-
ported. His name long continued to be popular, and vaa
probably affixed in different ways to many such works as
the two last mentioned. The introduction to a Latin ver-
sion of Esop, preserved in a manuscript in the British
Museum, also mentions Alfred's English translation, in a
manner which can leave little doubt of the existence of
such a book bearing that monarch's name.

The old bibliographera, such as Bale and Leland, enu-
merate other works nnder the name of Alfired, for which
there is no authority. We think also that it is not neces-
sary to place among the king's literary productions his
enactments, which are printed in all the editiona of the
Anglo-Saxon lawa.

Bis translationa are executed wi th much spirit. Aa he tells
ns himself, he " sometimes interprets word for word, and
lometimes meaning for meaning ;" and he not unfrequently
inserted passages of his own. The moat interesting of his
works in respect to this latter point are, his version of
Boethius, containing several very remarkable additions,
and his Orosius, in Uie geographical part of which be has
^ven the valuable narratives of two northern navigators,
Ohtere and Wulfstan, whom he had personally examined.
In point of style, Alfred'a translationa may be considered
as uie purest apeoimena we poasess of Anglo-Saxon prose.

Former biographers have been induced to give him the
fame of being a poet as well aa a prose writer ; this is ow-
ing to Asser's account of the love which the king showed
always to his native poetry, and of the metrical veraion
of the Metres of Boethius, attributed to him. We have
already stated it as our opinion that these metres were not
the work of Alfred; they were probably composed by
some obscure writer of the 10th century, who imagined
that Alfred's version of Boethius was imperfect so long aa
the metres were only given in prose. If Alfred had
written verae, it would certainly have poasessed some of
the higher characteristics which distinguish that class of
oomposiUona in the Anglo-Saxon language; and we can-
not believe that he would have aubmitted to the puerile
' occupation of arranging his own words in alliterative
couplets.

He died on the 28th of October, 901. His ohildrvn, and
even his grand-children, inherited flrom him the same great-
ness of mind, and love of science and literature, which
were so conspicuous in his own character. Hia name con-
tinued to be cherished among his countrymen till the ex-
tinction of Anglo-Saxon independence, and it was without
doubt the subject of numerous traditionary stories and
anecdotes. Even in the 12th and 13th centuries his memory
was kept alive aa the burden of popular songs, and by
productions aimilar to the fables and proverbs already
: mentioned.

Alfred of Beverly, horn about 1100, derivea hii
chief importance from the dispute which has arisen whether
he preceded or came after Geoffrey of Monmouth. Histo-
rians and bibliographera have all fixed at too early a date
the period when Alfred of Beverly compiled his history.
All that we know of his life is derived from his own writ-
ings. While occupied with his historical researches, it
appears that the history of Qeoffrey of Monmouth waa
published, and began to create a great sensation. Alfred
hearing people talk of British kings of whom he was en-
tirely ignorant, and ashamed to be obliged continually to
confess that he knew nothing about them, became anxiona
to obtain a sight of the new history, and with much diffi-
culty succeeded. He perused it with avidity, and, charmed
with the novelty of its contents, he would have made a
transcript of it for himself if he had been allowed suffi-
cient time, and had possessed money enough to buy the
materials at once ; but this not being the case, he deter-
mined to make an abridgment of it. Alfred informs ua
that, having abridged the history of the Britons, he de-
termined to abridge other historians, so as to continue hia
book through the Saxon and Norman times. We trace, aa
having gone through this process, among others, Bede,
Florence of Worcester, and the Northern writer Simeon
of Durham, which historian appears to have been the laat
he used, for Alfred's history closes in the aame year with
that of Simeon, A.D. 1129, the 29th year of Henry I. His
historical notices are extremely brief, and his style is that
of the ordinary writers of his age. Bole has increased the
number of worka attributed to Alfred of Beverly, by mak-
ing three different titles out of hia one known historical
epitome, ^e is aaid to have written a life of John of
Beverly ; but we know with more certainty that he was the
author of a work on the rights and privileges of his chureh,
which he ia aaid in the title to have translated fh>m Bng-
lisb into Latin, and which was preserved in the Cottonian
Library, but the volume containing it unfortunately pe-
rished in the fire. Edition, Aluredi Beverlacensis Annalea,

Alfired, (flourished 1170.) who oy some writers ia
named the Philosopher, is enumerated by Roger Bacon
among those who had translated the Arabian books of
science into Latin. Pits, partly on the authority of Boston
of Bury, tells us that he wandered in search of learning
through France and Italy, and that at Rome he was re-
ceived into the family of Cardinal Ottobini, who made him
his chaplain, and brought him to England, when he waa
sent as legate by Pope Urban IV. to make peace between
Henry III. and his barons. This however cannot be cor-
rect, for one of Alfred's principal works, the translation
(from the Arabic) of Aristotle's treatise, De Vegetabilibna

temporary he must have been. In the manuscripta of thia
book, preserved in the Bibliothique Royale at Paris, the
author ia sometimes named simply Magister Alfredna, and
at others Alfredus de SarcheL M. Jonrdain statea reasons
for believing that this work was translated in Spain. Pita
mentions the titles of several other books attributed to
him, most of which are still extant : they are, 1. De Musico,
of which he gives as the first words. Licet mihi inter medi-
tandum. 2. In Boethium de Consolatione Philoaophiss, in
five books, not now known to exist. S. In Meteora Arislo-
tells. This ia preserved in a manuscript in the Royal
Library at Paris, where the author's name is corruptly
spelt Alphiolus. 4. De Rerum Natura. M. Jonrdain be-
lieves this to be the treatise De Causis Elementomm, which
is found in most of the manuscripta joined to the tranala-
tion of Aristotle De Tegetabilibus, and clearly resembles
it in atyle. 6. De Motu Cordis. M. Jourdatn thinks thia
may be the aome aa a short treatise, evidently translated
from the Arabic, which is found under the same tiQe in a

AlfiiCt or AlfVed of Malmsbarr, flonrished In 990.
William of Malmsbary tells us that he was a learned man.
The old bibliographers attribute to this writer a scientific
treatise De Naturis Return, and a history of bis abbey, De
Rebos sni Cosnobii. No saoh works, howerer, are now
known to exist William of Malmsboiy has wrongly at-
tiibatod to this Alfric the writings of AlOed of Canter-
bury.— AUtremated from Wrighfi Biog. Brit. Lit.

Alfric of Canterbnrr, died 1006. No Anglo-Saxon
writer has excited so mncb interest in modern times by his
works as Alfrio the Grammarian, as he has been generally
named, fVom his grammar; and yet there are few whose
personal history is inrolred in so mncb oonftzsion and nn-
eertaittty. This arises, in part, ft-om the name baring been
extremely common among the Anglo-Saxons, and from
the difficulty of identifying the author of tfao different
books which bear this name by internal evidence. Loland
separated one Alfrio into three, and Bale gave each of
these three a distinct chapter. On the other hand, ITsher
Joined tiiree into one, confounding Alfric of Canterbury
with Alfric of Tork and Alfric of Halmsbury. The his-
torians of the 12th and 13 tb centuries, such as William of
Ualmsbory, and Matthew Paris, do not seem to hare es-
eqted tnta the same confusion.

Alfrio is said to have been descended from a noble family,
hia father being Kslderman or Earl of Kent When young,
his education was intrusted to one of the secular priests,
who, as he says, could with difficulty understand Latin,
and from whose misconduct he seems to hare derived a
contempt for the whole class of secular clergy. We think
it prolMibla that Alfrio remained at Winchestor, until a.d.
988 or 989, when he was sent by Alf beb, then Bishop of
Winchester, to regulate or govern the newly-established
Abbey of Ceme, in Dorsetsbrra, at the request of the foun-
der, Ealderman Bthelmer. The next event in the life of
AUHe is his promotion to the Bishopric of Wilton. We
ai« justified in believing that he filled this bishopric during
a Tory brief period previous to the death of Sigeric of
Canterbury, in 095. In 995, Alfric snooeeded Sigeric as
Archbishop of Canterbury ; and it is remarkable that in
Che instrument of his election he is called simply a monk
of Abingdon. AU wo know of the remainder of bis life
is, that he ruled his diocese with vigour and piety during
a period of continual sufferings from the inroads of the
Dues. Bridferth, who dedicated to bim his life of Dun-
stao, speaksof the wonderful exteutof his learning. Alfric
died on the 16th of November, 1006.

It ia probable that the greater part of Alfric's numerous
writings are still extant They consist chiefly of transla-
tions, and may be conveniently divided into three classes :
those intended for the instruction of youth, theological
woiks written after his mission to the Abbey of Ceme, and
Umim which he composed after his elevation to the Bisbop-
rie of Wiiton. 1. The Latin QraLmmar, which is a trans-
btioB from the old grammars of Donatns and Priscian,
and from which Alfrie has derived his title of Grammati-
eoa. Beveral manuaeripts of hia grammar are preserved,
and it was printed by Somner in tiie 17th century. The
seeond, or Anglo-Saxon, preface alludes to his homilies,
and therefore must have been written after be left Win-
ebester. Z. The Glossary of Latin words most commonly
OBsd in eonversation, (for which purpose it was intended,)
whieh ia genaraUy found in the same manuscripts with the
Grammar, was also published by Somner. 3. The Collo-
qmam, or eonversation in Latin, with an interlinear Saxon
^oas, intended to further the same objeet as the Glossary,
and farming a seeond book to it 4. We ought probably
to attribute to Alfrie the Anglo-Saxon Manual of Astrono-
my, whieh oecnrs so frequenUy in early mannsoripte. It
is fcwBd in a large mannsoript of Alfric's works in the
Pnblie Library of the University of Cambridge, and con-
tains many of the characteristics of Alfric's writings, par-
tiealarly his expressioDS of contempt for the " unleamed
priests ;" reoentiy printed, b. A coUeeUon of homilies,
(the greatest of all Alfric's works,) amounting In number
to ei^tj, and written, as he acknowledges, at the sngges-
tioa of Bthelmer and Kthelward. 6. Alter this coIleoUon
was eonidstod, Alfric, at the request of Ethelward, com-
]ri]ed fkmn the Latin another set of homilies, commemo-
rative of the diffamt saints revered by the Anglo-Saxon

ohnrch, divided, like the former, into two books. A copy
of this work will be fonnd in MS. Cotton. Julins, E. viL
7. One of the next works of Alfrio, or at least one of those
completed before he was raised to a bishopric, was the
translation of the Heptateuch. 8. A treatise on the Old
and New Testament, addressed to Sigward »t East-Heolon,
which was printed with a translation by Lisle. 9. A tMstise
on the Trinity, addressed to Wnlfgeat sst Tlmandnne,
preserved in manuscript in the Bodleian Library. 10, The
abridgment of Etbelwold's Constitutions, for the monks of
Byneham, preserved in manuscript at Cambridge, US.
Coop. Chr. Coll., No. 265. 11. Perhaps Alfrio was the
author of the translation of the life of Guthloc, by Felix
of Croyland, preserved in MS. Cotton. Vespas. D. xxi.
12. An Epistle to Sigferth, on the marriage of the clergy.
While Bishop of Wilton he probably wrote, 13. The Sermo
iBlfVici episcopi ad clericos, and H. The Sermo ad Socer-
dotes, both preserved in MS. Coop. Cbr. Coll., Camb., No.
265, and in other manuscripts. The latter found also in
MS. Cotton. Tiber. A. iii., is addressed to Bishop Wulfsine,
and is also known as Alfric's Canons. It has been printed.
These are in Latin and in Anglo-Saxon. — Abbretiated
from Wrighfe Biog. Brit. Lit.

Alfric Bata, d. 1051. He informs us that ha was the
disciple of the elder Alfrio (not of Ethelwold) at Winches
tor. He is known principally as having republished an4
enlarged some of the books of scholastic instmction com-
piled by his master, more particularly the Colloquium,
printed by Mr. Thorpe. It is probable that he also repub-
lished Alfric's Qrammar and Glossary, for they are joined
with the Colloquium in the manuscript of the latter pre-
served at Oxford ; and in the copy of the grammar printed
by Somner there is a short epistie connecting Alfric's nsjne
with that of King Canute, which cannot refer to Alfric of
Canterbury. He is supposed to be the author of the Lilb
of Ethelwold ; also of one of the homilies (entitled in some
mannsoripte In Natale TTnins Confessoris) a marginal
note to which, in one of the manuscripts, states that it was
composed at the desire of the younger Ethelwold, Bishop
of Winchester, who is said to have succeeded Cynewulf in
1008. — Abbrevialedfrom Wright^g Biog. BriU Lit.

Nature and Principles of Taste, which work has attuned
a wide celebrity. He gave to the world a number of ser-

Lord Woodhouslee. Trans. Ed. R. Soc. vii. 515, 1818.

writer, lender his works deserving (» a conspicuous place In every

Brltlah growth and manuikcture. The beauty of the style and

Allot, Robert, is believed to have been the compiler
of a very onrious and valuable volnme of early poetry,
which had a large share in the remarkable development of
BIBLIOXAKIA which characteriied the Orst quarter of the
present century. England's Parnassus; or the choyceat
Flowers of our Modern Poets, with their Poetical! compa-
risons. Descriptions of Bewties, Personages, Castles, Pal-
laces, Mountaines, Orones, Seas, Springs, Rivers, Ac
Whereunto are annexed other various disoourses, both
pleasant and profitable. Imprinted at London, for N. L.,
C. B., and T. H., 1600.

or Allot's history nothing is now known. We find a
surmise in Brydges' Restituta, (vol. iii, 234,) that he waa the
Robert Allot who was Follow of St. John's College in 1599.
With regard to the Parnassus, as it " has preserved portions
of many scarce poets, whose very names, without such care,
might have probably sunk into oblivion, it must ever rank
as a book both valuable and curious." Wood seems to have
attributed this collection to Charles Fiti-Qeffrey :

" Ho hatb also made, as 'tis said, A Collection of choice Flowera

All8toii,WasIiiBgtoii,1779-1843. Thisdietingaiahed
artist was die author of a number of poetical and prose
compositions. He was bom in Georgetown, South Caro-
lioa, and entered Harvard College in 1796. In 1S13 he
published in London, a volume entitled, The Sylphs of the
Seasons and other Poems, which seems to have passed un-
noticed in the multitude of works issuing from the London
press. The principal portion of the contents of this vol-
ume had been perused and much admired in MS. by Mr.
AUston's Mends in Boston. The volume is made np of
quite a number of poems, the largest ooDtaining between
•iz and seven hundred lines.

" Mr. Allslon's versification is peculiarly easy, and seems throim
out with as little effort as It is read. M' 1th all his ease, however, be
Is always mnslcal, and we bave only to object to a loose line here and

The Romance of Monaldi, which bad been written twenty
years before, and intended as a contribution to Mr. Dana^e
Idle Man, was published in 1841, anonymouriy. Monaldi
is a graduate of the Othello school, infuriated by Jealousy,
and determined himself to become a murderer, because he
imagines his wife to be unfaithful. The Rev. Dr. Griswold
remarks with reference to Mr. AUston's style :

" All the specimens that I have seen of his prose Indicate a re-
mukable command oflanguago, great descriptive powers, and rare
pbUoaophlcal as well as Imaginative talent"

The North American Keview speaka ia high tanni of
tbe literary character of Monaldi :
M

"We have often pored over AUston's pages to admire the giaea
and delicacy of his English poetical style. This book Is equally
remarkable fbr Its rich and banuonloos prose. Tbe nice selection
of epithets, the fliultless arrangement of the memben of tbe sea»-
tenoes, and the rhythmical cadence to willed thought and ezpra^
slon seem to move united, combine to make It one of tbe moat
finished works In American lltetstaie," — ToL Ilv. 397.

Mr. AUston was distinguished for hia oonveraational
powers and amiability of deportment, as well as for artiatio
genius and literary taste, " Hia tongue wrought on his
associates and aoqnaintencea like an enchanter'a spell,

Sreventing their taking any note of time ; and the small

Ames, Joseph, K8V-1759, an ironmonger in London,
gained dnnrved celebrity and commendation by his ezcel-
fent "Typogiaphieal Antiquities; being an Historical Ae-
coont of ninting in England, with some Hemoirs of
oar ancient Printers, and a Register of the Books printed
by tlwm fhnn the' year 1471 to 1600 ; with an Appendix
eoBcaming Printing tn Scotland and Ireland, to the same
time, Lon., 1749. The Rev. Hr. Lewis, who had been
collecting materials for a History of Printing in England,
Brged Hr. Ames to undertake the task. The latter was
nnwilUng to accede to this proposition, doubting his com-
petency, and lieing aware that Mr. Palmer was occupied
with the same derign. Mr. Palmer's work, The General
History of Printing, Ac, appeared in 1733, and so much
disappointed the expectations of those conversant with the
mlgect, that Mr. Ames determined to take the matter in
hand. It should be stated that Mr. Palmer did not live to
eomplate his iMMk. The portion relating to the English
printors was written by George Psalmanaasar of " Formosa"
eelebtl^: the Scotch and Irish printers were not noticed
at alL Mr. Ames liad most valuable aid in his undertak-
ing. Tho good rector of Margate, who had originally
■i^ed him to tlM task, laid his "auld warld" ooUeotians at
his iesL Tile eDthnsiaatig John Anstis, Garter Kiug-at-

arms, that "boast of heraldry," who had derotad his dnya

and nights to poring over the dusty scrolls of antiquity,
" Their ample paRS,
Bleh with the spoUs of time, did now unroll"
to the ediflcation and vast delight of our learned man of
iron. That prince of literary baronets. Sir Hans Sloane,
permitted him to labour in his library and rest in hia
garden ; where, after dining on 50,000 Imoks and 3500
manuscripts, he ooald gather his dessert from luscious fmiU
tiees, weighed down with their golden burden.

Lord Oiford's library was at his command, and the eru-
dition of many friends, ready to supply knowledge, to cor-
rect error, and to suggest improvement. Hr. Ajnes him-
self had been amassing literary treasures for a quarter of
a century. We can imagine with what gratification, after
the trafBc of the day, he dosed his doors at twilight's first
base, and left his iron for his books. Surely Dr. Johnson
was right when he said tliat the happiest Ufe in the world
is that of a man of business with a taste for literature I
Always in his library, he might tire even of his books ; bat
obliged to be much apart, like a true lover, he leaves them
with regret, and hastens to them with delight. In 174l>
the Magnum Opus made its ^tpooranee. For the times, it
was a good book ; and its reception was truly gratifying
to the author. It told pretty much what was then known ;
but, better still, it set literary miners to work, and by their
researches much more was made known.

Ames modestly declares,

*' I do also Ingenuously eon&ia, that In attemptlne this History
of Printing I have undertaken a task much too greu for my st^
ties, the extent of which I did not so well perceive at first ... I
have at least cleared away the rubbish, and Airnlsbed materlds
towards a more perfect strneture."

Doubtless much of its merit was owing to our friendly
Garter, who tells Ames :
"Use no ceremony In commanding any thing In my power;

2787.) . . . You may without any i^Kdogy eonunand me, for I
kve thought It my duty to assist, as ftr as it Is in my power, sU
who oblige the public" — Ahstis.

Ames would put down his qnestiona on a folio shaei> and
Anstis wrote out answers for him.

Hr. William Herbert, another literary man of busineai^
was so fortunate as to obtain fWim Sir Peter Thompson,
Ames's own copy of his work, interleaved with a great
number of his MS. additions and notes. Herbert sealonsly
devoted himself to preparing a now edition of the Typo-
graphical Antiquities. He published volume 1st in 1788,
volume 3d in 1786, and volume 3d and last in 1790. This
was a considerable advance upon the original work, but
much was yet required to make a complete History of
British Typography, The great objections to Herberts
volumes are their dry teehniealify and catalogue stiff-
ness. His aoouracy and laborious perseverance cannot
be too much commended ; but we want more in a book than
precision and faithfulness. We want a volume which can
be read — not merely consulted.

Now of all Englishmen who have ever lived, there never
was a man better suited to make a dry study attractive,
and a learned subject plain, than Dr. Dibdin of Roxburghe
memory. This magician oonld with his pen dress up a
begrimed, uncouth-looking Tolnme in more attractive
style than oould Grolier's binder with his most cunning
tools. Hs could convert "Belindas" and " Almasos" into
BiBUOKiiriAcs, and make a dry catalogue of old English
poetry more attractive than the last novel. It was bat
necessary for him to apply the epithets "azoeasively rare,"
or " exceedingly curious," and the neglected Cazton in your
garret would buy yon a year's clothing for your household,
and the old family Bible would deflrny your Christmas
festivities. We shall have more to say of him in his place.
Now, Dr. Dibdin, so exactly fitted to give us a well-digested,
accurately arranged, and withal readable and attractive.
History of British Typography, undertook the task. Our
leolous editor gave no less than £42 for the interleaved
Ames we have referred to, and set maniUly to work to let
the world see what could be done in this department In
1810 the first volume appeared, supported by a most re-
spectable subscription, headed by Geo. III., the Dukes of
York and Kent, and eighteen public librariec The 2d
volume was published in 1812, the 8d in 1816, and the
4th in 1820.

Anderson, Jas>, 1682-1728, a distingnished antiqua-
ry, gained great credit by his Historieal Essay showing
that the Crown of Scotland is Imperial and Independent,
in aaswer to Mr. Atwood, Edin., 1705. Atwood's l>ook was
bomt by the common hangman, whilst Anderson, suf'
rounded by admiring high dignitaries, received the thanks
of the Parliament of Scotland, delivered by the Lord
Chancellor. So much for being on the right side I More-
orsr, Parliament enooniaged the n)Joicing champion of the
" Imperial Crown" to undertake the publication of a col-
lection of the Ancient Cliarters of Scotland, with fac-similes
of the teals of the Scottish Kings. £300, and afterwards
£1050, (the latter it is said was never paid,) were voted to
bim for this purpose. This work, Selectoa Diplomatnm et
Homismatnm Seodte Tbesanms, kt., was not published
oBtil 1739, eleven yean after the anther's death. Thomas
Carte — ^the laborious, faithful, ill-used Thomas Carte, whose
devotion to his historical labours pnt even Dr. Mangey to

will lerre as my apology for addresdng a letter to you, without a

Lon., 1796. ^^

The plan of Dr. Henry's History was most admirable,
and we are not surprised that Mr. Andrews should hare
foUowed so good a model. We shall dwell mora at large
upon the advantages of this arrangement in the proper
pUce. (See Haitsr, Robt.) Dr. Henry's work concluded
with the accession of Henry VIIL Mr. Andrews continued
the history to the accession of James L The hope ex-
pressed, by a reviewer of the work, "that the aathor'i
health and spiriu would enable him to complete the un-
dertaking, and to bring it down to the present time," (1797 )
was disappointed. The author "rested ttam his many

don. He waa educated at Merchant-Tailor's School and
Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. The Chnrota of England con-
tains no name more truly venerable than that of tbia good
nvlate. For polish and anavity of manners he waa exeelled
Dj no gentleman of the court ; in piety, by no anchorite
of better times and purer days. In the discharge of all
the duties of religion, he ao walked as to be an illnstriona
•xomplar to hia flock and to the church of Qod. Jamea I.
had so high an opinion of his abilities, that be employed
him to answer Bellarmine's Treatise against his own De-
fence of the Sight of Kings. He was also a favourite
with Charles L Casanbon, Clnverins, Yossius, Grotioa,
Peter dn Moulin, Barclay, and Erpenina were among his
eomapondenta. Lord Clarendon regreta that he waa not
raised to the primacy on the death of Archbiahop Bancroft.
Thus respected in Ufe, he waa not leea honoured at hts
death, by a Latin elegy iVom the author of Paradise Lost,
He wrote a number of works, pub. 1&8S-1610, and some
others were made public after his decease. His Manual
of Devotion in Greek and Latin, waa translated by Dean
Stanhope, and baa been frequently reprinted. He waa one
of the tranalators of the authorized veraion of the Holy
Bcriptame, for which duty he waa well qualified :" a scholar,
said a ripe and good one," he had the credit of underatand-
ing fifteen languages. We are less surprised at the holy
daraeter of this good man, when wo are informed that
he devoted several hours each day to private prayer. Thus
he drew hia strength fttim an unfailing fountain, and his
wisdom from the " Father of Lights."

would trust But on the other hand, see Dr. Campbell's

clares that " it is not easy to say any thing worthy of so
great a man's character." When Drs. Burnet and Camp-
bell disagree, who shall decide ?

" That his Lordship sailed with the timee, remalna notorions.
Those principles most be of an accommodating temper wlilch could
suOw the same man to be president of a republican council of
state, and recommend him Ibr cbaneellor to an arbitrair and
popish king. Once wlien the Earl of Essex charged him In tlie
House of Lords with being prayed for by the PspMa, Anglsatr
said, ■ He beUered it was not so; but if Jews in tlieir synsgognss,

" He waa capable of great application, and a man of a grave de-

the price till so low that he grew uselees."— .BameCi Bittorf ef

Dr. Kippis, the editor of the Biogr^hla Britaanica, waa
quite indignant at Walpole's styling it (for giving, as ha
tiionght, too favourable an opinion of our author] " Vindl-
catio Britannioa," or a " Defence of Everybody;" whers-

gratify Anthony Wood, who seems in Siii instance quite
sangninary, by permitting him to despatch our " Author

He left bdoind him a ehoioe library of books, which were exposed
to sale by way of Auction, in Oct, Nor., Ac. following."

The mention of that " Library of books" will toach a
chord in the bosom of many a Bibliomaniac ; and being
dightly of that order ourselves, we shall crave the indul-
g«Boa of the general reader to linger a moment in this
" Library." Dr. Campbell gives the earl no small praise
for hig book-collecting seal :

** He was one of the flrst EngUxh Peers who distingnlslied him-

AaselBi« IM8-1I09, like his predeoessor LanSrane,
Has a nativa of Italy. He was bom at Aosta, in Pled-
Boat, at the foot of tii« Oraian Alps, about the year 1033.
In Us ebildhood he had imbibed relieious sentiments firom
the IsaehiBg and example of his mother, and exhibited an
sarif taste for learning. His father disoonraged the child

ia his pnraoits, and when, at the age of fifteen, Ansalm
ventnred to declare his wish to embrace a monastic life,
the anger of the parent was so strongly expressed, that the
youth determined to quit his home and conntry, and throw
himself upon the wide world. Of the next three years of
Anselm's life, we only know that they were spent, perhaps
fhiiUessly, partly in Burgundy and partly in France. It
does not appear how he was occupied during this period,
bat in the course of his wanderings he arrived at Avranches,
and there he first heard of the fame of his countryman
Lanflrane and the school of Bee. The eagerness after
learning which had distingnished Anselm in his childhood
now returned, and he hastened to Bee to place himself un-
der Lanfhtnc's tuition. He devoted himself to his studies
with wonderful perseverance, scarcely quitting his books
by night or by day, and often forgetting his meals. When
Lanfranc at length made him a partner in his labours, and
intrusted to him the instruction of others, Anselm showed
littie taste for his occupation; he preferred solitude and
meditation to an active life, and after much doubting as to
where and how he should take the habit, and after con-
Bulting with Lanfranc and with Uaurilins, Archbishop of
Rouen, he became a monk in the abbey of Bee, in the
twenty-seventh year of his age, (a. n. 1060.) Still he was
not allowed to remain inactive ; for, when Lanfranc was
made Abbot of Caen, (not, as.commoniy supposed, in 10tl3,
but in 1066,) Anselm was chosen to sncceed him as Prior
of Bee, an oSice which he held till Abbot Herluin's death
in 1078, when he was fhrther raised to be his successor.
As monk and prior, he was distingnished so much by
his piety and virtues, that his brethron believed him to
be possessed of the power of working miracles. The abbey
of Bee had possessions in England, and soon after his
election Abbot Anselm found it necessary to visit them.
This was a favourable opportunity of consulting with his
ancient friend Lanfranc, by whom he was received at
Canterbury with the greatest marks of distinction and
esteem. He spent a short time in the society of the monks
of Canterbury, and gave his advice in the question thea
agitated relating to the sanctity of the Saxon Archbishop
iBlfege. In other parts of England, Anselm was received
with the same marks of respect as at Canterbury. In
1088, Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, died, and in
10V3, Anselm, much against his will, obeyed the commands
of William Rnfus, by accepting the vacant see. He died
of a lingering illness, attended by a distaste for all kinds
of nourishment, on the 21st of April, 1100, in the seventy-
sixth year of his age, after having held the see of Canter-
bury sixteen years. He was buried in his cathedral, at
the head of his friend and predecessor, Lanfranc.

By his rare genius he did much towards bringing
metaphysics into repute. Ho laid the foundation of a new
school of theology, which was free from the servile cha-
racter of the older writers, who did littie mote than collect
together a heap of authorities on the subjects which they
treated. The Honologium and the Proslogium are admir-
able specimens of abstract reasoning. His reading was
extensive, and his style is clear and vigorous. His pub-
lished writings are, I. The Honologion, a metaphysical
treatise, in which Anselm attempts to establish, by ab-
stract reasoning, the existence of Qod, his attributes, Ao.
He submitted this work to the judgment of Lanfranc, be-
fore he venturad to publish IL 2. The Proslogion, in which
he undertakes to prove the existence of God by one single,
continued argument. 3. The answer to Gaunilo, a monk
of Mormoutier, who had criticised the Proslogion, and
espoused the cause of the ineipienw (whom Anselm had
introduced as his imaginary opponent) against Anselm's
arguments. In this tract he enlarges and explains some
of his arguments which had been misunderstood. 4. On
the Trinity and the Incarnation, a controversial treatise
against the celebrated philosopher Roscelin. S. On the
Procession of the Holy Ohost, another controversial trea-
tise, in which he collected the arguments he had employed
in t^e Council of Bari against the Greeks, who denied that
the Holy Ghost proceeded from the Sob. Anselm is said
to have written this book between 1100 and 1103, at the
request of Hildebert, Bishop of Hans. 6. Dialogue in
twenty-eight chapters, De oasu Diaboli, treating chiefly on
the subject of the origin of evil. 7. A treatise entiUed
Cur Deos Homo ? in two books, written in the form of a
dialogue between the author and Boso, Abbot of Bee, for
the purpose of showing the necessi^ of the Christian
scheme of redemption, and proving the resurrection of the
body. It was begun in England, and finished in Italy.
8. A treatise in twenty-nine chapters on the Coneeptien
of the Virgin, and on Original Sin, oomposed at Lyons,

first published by G«rberon, who found it without the

it was the work of Anselm. 11. A dialogue De Libero
Arbitrio. 12. The treatise De Conoordia prsseientisB et
pradestioationis et gratits Dei cum libero arbitrio. This
was Anselm's last, and perhaps his most profound work,
in whieh he undertakes to prore, first, that prescience is
not repugnant to free-will ; secondly, that predestination
does not exclude fhie-wUl; and, thirdly, that grace does
not exclude f^ee-wilL 13. A short tract De Fennento

of the Virgin, which are probably erroneously attributed
to Anselm. 24. A large collection of miscellaneous letters,
many of whieh afford valuable materials for the history
of the time. 25. His Constitutions. In addition to these,
the writers of the Histoire Litt^raire de France enumerate
no less than thirty-six treatises which hare been wrongly
attributed to Anselm. Among these we may place the
poem De Contamptu Mundi, which was the work of Alex-
ander Ne<^ham. Some additions might still be made from
manoaoripts to his authentic works, particularly to the
Homilies, Meditations, and Letters ; and perhaps some of
Anselm's writings are entirely lost, such as the poem on
the death of Lanfrano, mentioned by Orderious Vitalis.

publishing house of the Messrs. Harper, Professor Anthon
projected a classical series, which should comprise as well
the text-books used in aoademies and sohools preparatory
to college, as those usually read in colleges and nniversi-

Greek and Latin authors. Dr. A. has pub. larger works

removal to Loudon, his uncommon powers of wit and ripe
scholarship introduced him to the society of the principal
literary characters of the day, with whom he was a great
fiavourita. Forsometimehesopportedhimself by teaching
mathematies. In 1697, Dr. Woodward pnb. an Essay to-

ARC

tacked this Essay with great success in an BxaminatioB of
Dr. W.'s Aoconnt, kc, which at once established his (kme.
In 1700, he pnb. a treatise On the Usefulness of Mathemati-
cal Learning, which increased his reputation. An interest-
ing paper On the Regularity of the Births of both Sexes, (a
most conclusive proof of a superintending Providence,)
procnred his election in 1704 into the Roy^ Soeiety. In
1712 appeared the first part of The History of John Bull,
intended to ridicule MaiilMrougfa, and dissatisfy the nation
with the war. There " never was a political allegory ma-
naged with more exquisite humour, or with a more skilful
adaptation of characters and ciranmstances." Swift, in
his Journal to Stella, and Pope, in Spence's Anecdotes,
both attribute this work to Arbntiinot, and certainly thsir
testimony should settle the question. Arbnthnot published
a number of other works, the most celebrated of which was
TaUes of Ancient Coins, Weights, and Measures; ad ed.,1727.
** Although there are several Inaeeuiades in It, which could
hardly he avoided In so Intricate a aubiect, H is a wofk of great
merit, and has ever since been considered as the standard anuot^
Ity." — Encjfc BritawHicai,

The " Hiscellaneons Works of Dr. Arbnthnot," pub. In
2 vols, in 1751, were publicly denied by bis son to be his
father's productions.

** PoeltlTe as is this assuianee, and though some few may be
spurious, the style and character of many fully prove them to be
genuine." — Bott^i Biog. DiaL

The celebrated ScriUems Clnb was formed in 171A.
Arbnthnot and his intimate friends, Pope, Oray, and SwU^
together with Barley, Atterbniy, and Gongreve, were mem-
bers of this brilliant circle. The object of these wits was
to " ridicule all the false tastes in learning, under the eh».
racter of a man of capacity enough, that had dipped into
every art and science, but iqjudioiouaiy in each." — Popb.
The clnb was not of long continuance, but we have as its
friiits. The First Book of Martinns Scribiems, The Travels
of Gulliver, and The Art of Sinking in Poetjy.

■■There seems to be every reason to believe^ that of the three
p&Boes, Arbnthnot was the eole author of the first. Swift of the
second, and Pope of the last." — Setroip. JRtvine.

Dr. Johnson has asserted that no one was ever wiser,
better, or merrier for reading the Memoirs of Scribiems.
During the last illness of Queen Anne, in 1714, Doctors
Arbn^not and Head attended her m^esty : to this Oaj
alludes in the Prologue to the Shepherd's Weak :
"This heeh Arbnthnot was ydept.

Who many a night not once hu slept.

But watched our grselons sovereign sttU;

For who could rest while she was 111 r"
Swift replied to a lady who desired to know his opinion
concerning Arbnthnot, " He has more wit than we all have,
and his humanity is equal to his wit." In one of Us
poems, he laments that he is

" Far from his kind Arbuthnotf s aid.
Who knows his art, bat mt his trade."

Dr. Johnson, when talking of the eminent writers fn
Queen Anne's reign, olnerved :

** I think Dr. Arbnthnot the first man among thesa. He was
the moet universal genius, being an esceUent physldaa, a aaaa
of deep learning, and a man of much humour."

Pope declared that he was fitter to live or die than aajr
man he knew ;

" His good morals were eoual to any man's, but Us wit and
humour superior to all mankind."

"Oh If the a-orld bad but a doien Arbnthnoes In It, I would
bum my travels I but, however, lie Is not without Iknlt Them
Is a paseage In Bede highly coauaendlng the fietj and leamliw
of the Irish In that age, where, after abundance of pralsea, he
overthrows them all, hy lamenting that, alas I they kept Esatev
at a wrong time of the year. So our doctor has every quality and
virtne that can make a man amIaUa and nseftil, but, alaal ha
hath a soK of skmch In hli walk,"— Dsas Bwitt,

This slouch in the doctor's walk is noticed In a letter
from Pope to Mr. Digby, in which, after recommending
Arbnthnot to Mrs. Mary Digby, be says :

" But, Indeed, I fear she would not walk with blm, Ibr, as Dean
Swift observed to me the very first tlsse I saw the doctor, ' He la
a man that oan do every thing but walk.* ^

Althongh he was justly oelebimted Ibr wit and learning, t
was an ezesUenee In his character mors asalaUe than all hlsothsr
qualifications: I mean the goodness of his heart. .. . Heisseldooa
serious, except In hin attaoLS nnon vice, and there his spirit rises

ter of the Politician, in Nos. 155 and 160 of The Tatler.
In 1738 Arae produced music for Milton's masque of Comus.

" In this masque be Introduced a light, airy, original, and pleas-
ing melody, Wholly different from Pnrcell and Ilandel, whom all
English composers had hitherto pillaged or Imitated. Indeed, the
melody of Ameat this time, and of Ids Vauxholl songs afterwards,
forms an era in English music ; It was so easy, natural, and agree-
able to tha whole kingdom, that It bod an eifect upon our nawnol
taste." — Db. Bcrttet.

The well-known song of " Rule Britannia" was first in-
troduced in Mallet's masque of Alfred, set by Ame in 1740.

" The general melody of our countryman, If analysed, would
perhaps appear to bo nolthar Italian nor Kngllsh, but an agreeable
mixture of Italian, English, and Boots. . . . from the death of
Purcell to that of Ame — a period of more than fourscore years —
no candidate for musical fame among our countrymen had appeared,
who was equally admired by the nation at lorire." — Dr. Burnev.

Arnold, Thomas, D.D., 1795-1842, head master of
Rugby School, from 1827 till his death, and successor of
Dr. Nares (in 1841) as Regius Professor of Modern History
In the University of Oxford, was one of the brightest orna-
ments of his age. He was educated at Winchester School,
and ttom tlmnoe went, in 1611, to Corpus Christi College,
Oxf., where he took a first class in Classics, in Easter term,
1814. In the next year he gained the prise for an English
Essay, and in 1817, being then a Fellow of Oriel College,
he gained the Latin Eswy. The principal works of Dr.
Arnold are his History of Rome, (unfinished;) The Later
Roman Commonwealth ; Lectures on Modem History; and
Sermons, in 3 Tolumes. He published an edition of Thu-
eydides, which has been highly commended, as an evidence
of ripe soholaiahip and critical acumen. As a teaehar, be
labonnd to instil into the minds of his scholars those re-
ligions prineiples, foiuded upon a Just sense of responsi-
bility to Ood and to society, which so eminently shone forth
In his own " walk and conversation."

" An a writer, Dr. Arnold was remarkable fbr vlgorotta thonwht,

Aacham, Roger, 151S?-1588, waa bom at Rirby-
Wiake, a Tillage near Northallerton, in Yorkshire. In
1530, he entered St John'a Coll., Cambridge, where he
displayed great aptneaa in acquiring the Ormk and Latin
languages. Dr. Metoalf, the master, he infotma ua, waa
" a man meanly learned himaelf, bat not meanly affec-
tioned to aet forward learning in others, and I laeked not
hia favour to further me in learning." In the 18th year
of hia age he waa ehoaen Fellow of hia college. In 1544
he aucoeeded Sir John Cheke as public orator of ^e Uni-
veraity of Cambridge, and was made by King Edward VI.
hie aeoretary for the Latin tongue. In the controversy
concerning the right pronunciation of the Qreek language,
Aacham oppoaed the method introduced by Sir Thomas
Smith and Sir John Cheke, bat afterwards eapouaed their
opinion and practice. " It la probable that it ia in part
owing to tho ingenuity with which he defended it, (aee hia
letter to Hubertna Langnetua,) that this mode of pronun-
ciation waa generally adopted, and haa ainoe prevailed in
ihe achoola of England." In 1548, the Princess Elisabeth
called Aacham from his college to direct her atudiea. He
inatructed hia pupil in the learned languagea with great
diligence and success for two years, during which time he
read with her the greater part of Cicero and Livy, the se-
lect arstiona of Socratea, the phtya of Sophoelea, and the
Oreek Teatament

In 1550, he travelled for three yeara on the Continent,
aa secretary to Sir Richard Horysino, who was appointed
ambassador to the Emperor Charles V. Who that boa
ever peraaed it can forget his deeply-interesting descrip-
tion of his visit, before his departure, to Lady Jane Grey ?
The place at which she then resided waa her father's seat
at Broadgate, in Leicestershire. Aacham found that the
hall was deserted : the family were engaged in hunting in
the park, and he discovered, after some search. Lady
Jane, then in her 14th year, in her apartment, deeply im-
mersed in the Phasdo of Plato! "with as much delight
aa aome gentlemen would read a merry tale in Boccace."
The worthy Aacham, however delighted at such devotion
to Ihe studies he was himself ao much in love with, oould
not conceal hia aurpriae at the choice of this very young
lady. After the first compliments, he asked her why she
" lost such pastime as there must needs be in the park ?"
At which, amiling, ahe answered, " 1 wist all their sport ia
but a ahadow to tiiat pleasure that I find in Plato. Alas,
good folk! they never felt what true pleasure meant!"
Thia "naturally leading him to inquire how a child of her
age had attained to auch a depth of pleasure both in the
Platonic language and philoaophy," she made him (Mr.
Aacham himself tella ua) the following remarkable reply :
"I will tell you," quoth ahe, "and tell you truth, which,
perchance, you will marvel at. One of the greatest bene-
fits whioh ever God gave me, ia that he aent ao sharp and
severe parents, and ao gentle a schoolmaster. For when
I am in presence either of father or mother, whether I
apeak, keep silence, ait, atand or go; eat, drink, be merry,
or Bad ; be aewing, playing, dancing, or doing any thing
•lae, I must do it, aa it were, in auch weight, measure,
and number, and even ao perfectly, aa God made the
world, or else I am ao aharply taunted, ao cruelly threat-
ened, yea, presently, sometimes with pinches, nips, and
bobs, (or other ways, which I will not name, for the honour
I bear them,) so without measure disordered, that I think
myself in hell, till time come that I must go to Mr. El-
mer, who teaeheth me so gently, so pleasantly, with fair
aUnnmenta to learning, that I think all the time nothing
while I am with him ; and when I am called from bim, I
fall a-weeping, because whatsoever I do else but learning,
ia full of grief, trouble, fear, and wholly mialiking unto

Ascham dwells with great pleasure upon this intervien
an epistle to his friend Sturmius. This learned yoi
lady promised to write bim a letter in Greek upon eoi
tion of hia aending her one firat from the emperor'a eo<
In a letter to Lady Jane, ho assures her that, among
the agreeable varieties which he had met with in his i
vels abroad, nothing had occurred to raise his admiral
like that incident in the preceding summer, when he foi
her, a young maiden, by birth so noble, in the abseno
her tutor, and in the sumptuous house of her moat n<
father, at a time, too, when all the rest of the fan
both male and female, were regaling thomselvea with
pleaaurea of the chase — " I found," continues ha, " 0
piter and all ye gods ! I found, I aay, the divine vii
diligently atudying the divine Phaedo in the orig
Greek. Happier certainly in thia reapect than in b<
deaconded, both on the father and mother's side, t
kings and queens." On the accession of Queen Mary
was appointed Latin secretary to her Migesty, the ai
post which he held formerly under Edward VI., and, i
aequently, under Eliiaheth. Ko better proof ia neodei
hia facility in Latin compoaition. Of this we have s
eient evidence in the fact that in three days he w
forty-seven despatches to foreign personages of the big
rank, on the subject of electing Cardinal Pole to
papal chair. In 1554, he resigned his Fellowship,
married Miss Margaret Howe, a young lady of (
family.

His last illneaa has been ascribed to too close appi
tion to the compoaition of a Latin poem, which he deaif
for the Queen on the Mew-Year's day of 1569. He
pired on the 30th December, 1568, "nniversally lament
Queen Elizabeth was one of the loudcat monmera,
declared that ahe would " rather have lost ten thoui
pounds than her tutor Asoham." He waa interred ii

The book u a dialogue nipported by Philologus, a sta-
dent, and Toxophiloi, a lover of archery. We have a
raodiiieation of the practice of the art, the regnlations which
■honld gorem it, and ita inntimable adrantagea for va-

acknowledges that he had not done his weighty subject
full justice.

The enthusiastic son of Iha bow, with an admirshle
stroke of policy, lets his fiiend understand that be'has no
desire to monopoUxe " The seat of Gamaliel," but he will
be glad "to occupy the place of the unlearned," and pro-

The worthy Philologe would be baj^-hearted indeed not
to be exceedingly amiable on the reception of so delicate
a compliment as this ; accordingly he replies, with erident
eonplseency :

It is tnily remarkable that the English works of Asoham

ordinary occasion, Lon., 1760.

"A pretty respectable defrnee of Lord George SackvOle." — ^Wait.

Asgill, John, d. 1738, at an advanced age, was a
lawyer, and the author of a number of books, pub. Lon.,
1700-1727. He is remarkable as having been subjected
to much persecution in conaequenoe of a work pub. in 1700,
entitled Argument, proving that Men may be translated to
Heaven without dying, according to the Covenant of Eter-
nal Life, revealed in tbe Scriptures, although the Human
Xatnre of Christ himself could not thus be translated till
he had passed through Death. This unfortunate publica-
tion, which a later judgment has pronounced rather absurd
than impious, waa condemned by Dr. Sachererell as "one
of the blasphemous writings which induced him to think
the church in danger." He sat as a member of the Irish
House of Commons only four days, whenJie was expelled
for this performance. Returning to England he was chosen
member for Bramber, county of Sussex, in 1705. In 1707,
he was expelled from his seat upon a representation of a
committee of which Edward Harley, Esq., was chairman,
that the book " contained several blasphemous expressions,
and seemed to be intended to ridicule the Scriptures."

" From this time bis afialrs grew more desperate, and he was
obliged to retire first to tbe Mint, and then became a prisoner In
the King's Bench, but removed himself thence to the Fleet, and In
the rules of one or other of these prisons continued thirty years."

Among the principal of his works wore : Several Asser-
tions Proved, in order to create another Species of Money
than Oold or Silver. An Essay on a Registry for Titles
of Lands, 1771. This work is written in a very hu-
morous style. The Sueeession of the Hooae of Hanover
Vindicated, Lon., 1711. Thia was an answer to Mr. Bed-
ford's famoua book. Dr. Southey is disposed to think that
AsgiU's theological treatise which gave so much ofience,
was the result of a professional habit of mind, which led
him to take nothing for granted, bnt induced him to ex-
amine every question critically for his own satisfaction.

" Tbe whole strength of his mind was devoted to bis profession, in
which be had bo com^etely trammelled and drilled Us intellectual
powers, that he at length acquired a habit of looking at all sub-
jects In a legal point of view. He could find fiawa In an hereditary
crown. But it was not to seek flaws that he studied the Bible ; hs
studied it to Bee whether be could not claim, under the Old and
New Testament, something more than was oonsldeied to be his
share."

For copious extracts from Asgill's Argument, see The
Doctor : part the Second. Asgill, in contending that men
had made a great mistake in dying for so many years,
only because they thought they were obliged to die, had
to admit that the evidence told strongly against him ! Ha
was not able to deny that " this custom of the world to
die, hath gained such a prevalency over our minds by pre-
possessing us of the necessity of death, that it stands ready
to swallow my argument whole without digesting it." Tet
nothing daunted by this startling fact, of men's daily in-
sisting upon dying, he stoutly contends tliat "the custom
of the world to die is no argument one way or other t"
He explains all this in a trice, by declaring that the
dominion of death is supported by our fear of it, " by which
it hath bullied the world to this day." We have seen
that his nngratoful oontomporaries, not appreciating U*

and deplored their folly, as he saw them dropping off one
by one; and as he is said to hare almost attained his 100th
year, perhaps the new generation were beginning to sus-
pect that Lawyer Asgill was not so far wrong after all, and
that their progenitors had the weaJi side of an argument
to which they had yielded themselTeg martyrs. But death
had only ''stayed execution,'' not "abandoned his claim;"
and, in Kovember, 1738, AsgiU was forced to be a witness
against himself, and, to use old Anthony Wood's favourite
phrase, he " gave way to fate," to.prore, we trust, the truth
of the old motto which he so much censured, that " Death
is the Gate of Life," the entrance to a blissfU immortality,
to those whe by *' patient continuance in well-doing, have
waited their appointed time till their change come," justi-
fied, sanctified, and made meet for the " inheritance of the
saints in light." We believe Asgill to have been a good

In 1044 he entered himself of Brannoae College, Oxford,
irhei« lie lealaaaly devoted himself to the stady of Hathe-
maties, Natnral Philosophy, and Astronomy. ITpon his
return to London, he became an associate of Moore, Lilly,
Booksr, and other astrologers and Rosicmcianists, the
effseta of which studies were seen by his publioation, in
IIUO, of Dr. Arthnr Dee's Faacicnlns Chemicus ; together
with another bract of the same character, by an nnknown
aatitor. In 1SS2 appeared his Theatmm Chemioum Bri-
taanicnm, a collection of the works of such English Chem-
ists as had remained in manuscript. In a letter to Mr.
(afterwards Sir William) Dngdale, whom be accompanied
in his Snrrey of the Fens, he gives an account of the
Roman Road called ^«Aiievaniui, in Antonlnns's Itinerary.
In 185& or 1658 he began to eoUect materials for his
Bistoiy of the loslitationi. Laws, and Ceremonies of the
moct Noble Order of the Garter, which he published in
1ST2 : npon presenting a oopy to King Charles II., he
granted him a privy seal for £400. In 1079 he lost, by a
fire, a collection of 9000 coins, a fine library, and many
enrioritiea. In 1882, the University of Oxford having
prepared a bnilding for their reception, he sent thither his
eoUeetion of coins, medals, Ac. ; and at his death the Asb-
molean- Mnsenm was still farther enriched by the bequest
of the books and MBS. of the learned fonnder. His His-
tory of Berkshire was published after his death (in 171S)
in 3 vols, folio, and is not thought to do the author justice.
** He was the neatest virtwMO and eurloso that ever was known
or read of in Kngland before his time. Uxor Solit took up Its

Aahmole's Diary, reprinted at the end of Lilly's History
of his Life and Times in 1774, "abounds so much in ab^

females wearing the Order of the Qarter is considered. In
Thuiesby's Diary, we find a notice calculated to excite
pensive emotions, of a visit paid by him to the former
rasidenea of Ashmole :

■* June 1, 1713. In our retnm, paaslng by the house wbere Mr.
Aaluaole oooe lived, we visited the widow, who showed us the re>
■ahia of Mr. Traduaaant^s raritSea, amongst which some valuable
sIkUs and Indian ■nrioaltiee.''

With what delight would the master of these "rarities,"
the great " virtuoso and enrioso," have displayed them to
this kindred spirit I How would he have expatiated npon
those wonderfnl " Coynes and Meddals" which Anthony
Wood daacrilies with such true antiquarian gusto I Like
Hexekiah, he would doubtless have " shewed them all the
boose of his precious things, the silver and the gold, and
the spices and the precious ointment, and all the house of
hia aiBOW, and all tliat was found in his treasures : there
waa aothing in his house" that he would have " shewed
flieiB not." Bnt let ns not forget, that although it was a
woman's provinoa to gratify the erudite taste of Ralph
Tboresby, 1^ displaying these antiquarian raritiea, that
woman was the widow of Elias Ashmole and the daogh-

Armada, 1688, and pab. in that year. It is in blanli

Blank Versa anterior to Hilton. It will b« found com-

Askew, AnthOBf, M.D., 1722-1772, a distinguished
classical scholar, was educated at Sedburgh School, and
Emmanuel Coll., Cambridge. He studied medicine for a
year at Leyden ; after which he still remained abroad for
three yean, and returned to Cambridge in 1760, and oom-
menceid practice. He published no medical works, and
bis easy fortune prevented the necessity of any effort to
retain the large professional business which his father,
Dr. Adam Askew, had long enjoyed. Whilst abroad, he
laid the foundation of his choice library by the purchase
of many valuable books and manuscripts. Amongst
these treasures was a complete collection of the editions
uf JBschylus, a new edition of which Dr. Askew intended
to have given to the world. Whilst yet a student at
Leyden, he issued a specimen of his intended edition,
dedicated to Dr. Richard Mead : Novas Editionis Traga-
diarum ^sohyli Specimen, curante Antonio Askew, ic,
Lngd. Batttv., 1746. This pamphlet is now of great rarity.

Askew has been properly esteemed one of the fathers of
the " Bibliohaxia" in England. He estimated his rare
boolu and dingy manuscripts as more precious than rubies
or fine gold, and was careful how he permitted them to
pass from his own hands. We have an amusing account
of his displaying (but tub oculh only — manibuaque was
too much for a king to ask !) to his visitors some of hia
choicest volumes, safely enshrined within glass cases,
whilst the happy owner, perched upon his library ladder,
would read from an " Editio princeps," or an " Exemplar
elegans," some scrap of philosophic wisdom of the "elder
time." How could the enthusiastic Askew ever resign
those darlings of hlT sonl ! But Death, who has no re-
spect for men's " hobbies," and who stops not to ask, when
he has levelled his shaft, whether his intended victim be
of Athens or Boeotia, entered the doctor's retreat at Hamp-
stead one day, and summoned him to leave his books and
manuscripts, the cherished acquisition of so many happy
years ! His collection went the way of most libraries —
through the hands of the auctioneer, into the vacant
niches or shelves which had long waited for the demise of
the owner. The Rev. Mr. Cracherode's long purse swal-
lowed many an "Exemplar Askerlanum." Dr. Hunter
expended £600 npon the spot, and Dr. Maty purchased to
a considerable amount for the British Museum. But
more than this! Even Royalty was a competitor in this
day's struggle. The King of England was a purchaser
of £300 worth of rare tomes, and his Majesty of France,
and some other foreign collectors, absorbed, through the
agency of De Bore, no less than the value of £1500.

Lore of 0«4.

Mn. Aatell vu held in great eetimstion bjr some of
the most dirtingnUhed persona of her day. Dr. John
Walker ealla her " The moet ingenicns Hrg. Astell ;" Henry
Dodwell styles her "The adminble gentlewoman, Mrs.
AjtaU." Erelyn acknowledges the satisfaction which he
derired from her writings. But as perfeetion is not for
man — nor woman either, it seems — we mnst confess that
Bishop Atterbuiy in writing to Dr. Bmalridge complains
in this wise :

" 1 happenml abont a Ibrtnlgtat ago to dine with Mrs. Astell.
Bba Rioke to me of my sennon, and desired me to print It ; and
allH- 1 liad giTen tlM proper ansver, hinted to me that she should
be glad of pamsing it; I oompljed with her, and sent her the ser-
moB next day. Yesterday she returned it with this sheet of re-
marks, which I cannot forbear communicating to you, because I
take *an to be of an extraordinary nature, considering they came
flemawoman. Indeed one would not ims£:ine tliat a woman had
vittien theca. There is not an expression ttuit carries the least
air of her sex from the beginning to the end of it. She attacks
B* Tery home, yon see, and artmily enough, under a pretence of
taking my pert against other dirlnee, who aie in Hoadley's Mea>
■vea. [Probably it vaa the sermon against Bishop Uoadley's

M-n" of Submission.] llad she had as much good breeding

aagood senaa, she would be porfbct; but she has not the most de>
seat way of Inainnating wliat she means, but is now and then a
Mtle oOeiuitTe and shocking in her expreesions; which I wonder
at, beeanae a eiril tnrn of words Is wlut bar sex Is always mls-
tnn aC She, I thinli, la wanting in it. [No doubt he thought
so: and pray, what eontrarersialist. '' his soul in arms, and eager
tir the fiay," ever thought a hostile criticism " civil r" But Oie
good Bishop in the midst of his chagrin will still be Just; and
goes on to say :] But her sensible and mtlonal way of writing
Bakes amends Ibr that defect if Indeed [here the wounded author
gets nppcnnoet again] any thing can make amends Ibr it. 1 dresil
vo snffase her ; [quite an admission I] so I only writ a general dril
answer to her, and leave the rest to an oral conforenoe."

It ia not a little amusing that Mrs. Astell's Chriatian
Beligion aa Professed by a Daughter of the Church of
Knglajid, was attributed to the pen of the prelate who
Ibna winees under her criticism.

Lord Stanhope writes to Bishop Atterbnry ;

*> 1 am Inlbrmed this day that you hare put out In print a mlgb^
Ingeriens pamphlet; but that you haye been pleased to ihtber it
nan one Mrs. AatelI,afBmale friend and witty companion of your
s&sl"

Mrs. Astell waa a tmly exemplary character, and deroted
bar talsnt to the beat esda, the interesta of true religion,
■ad the improTemont of her own sex; indeed, of all
mpable of qipreoiating moral exoellonce and intelleetoal
auration.

Astle, MaiT* See Astell.

AsUe, Tkomaa, 1734-1803, an eminent antiquary,
•ad Keeper of the Beeords in the Tower of London, waa
dooended ftom the ancient family of the Astlea, lords of
the Hanor of Fauld, in Staflbrdahire. In 1770 he waa ap-
pointad by the Houae of Lorda to auperintond the printing
of the Ancient Records of Parliament: succeeding his
ththflr-in-lnw in thia dnty, who had been appointed at the
instanee of Mr. Astle, when oonsnlted on thia subject by
the House of Lords in 1766. The Beeords were published
io nx folio rolnmea. Of the Sooiety of Antiquariea he
9(0 » naeftil and diatinguiahed member, and contributed
lerenl TBlnsble papers to the Arehaaologia in Tola, ir.. Til.,
X., zii., and xiiL ; and to the Vetnsta Monnmenta. To the
CMaiogae of the Harleian MSS. be wrote a preface and
index. In 1777 appeared hia Catalogue of the MSS. in the
Cottoni>n Library, with a catalogue of the charters. Mr.
Planta's Cat. of HSS. haa superseded Aatle's, but the lat-
lar is adil nsefhl aa eotttaining the only cat. of the oharters
in that library.

and impioTod edition appeared in 1803. To thia prodne-
tion the liigh praise haa been awarded of being " the com-
pleteat work on the anbject of Writing in this or any other
hngnage." In the laat chapter he laboura to proTe that
the art of printing took ita origin from the Chineao. Upon
CUs hydra-lieaded theme we have no apace here to enter.
We aliall tiSTO to meet it somewhere, we presume, before
we llniah oar volume. Apropos, we take it very ill of Mr.
Biunat that lie oondeaoends not to favour Aatle's great
wnrk with a single bibliognphical comment. He can ex-
pend a eolBain npon Bodoni, (who deaerrea honourable
I— nlion.) Imt not ■ line for Aaue. He should remember
" the swaahing blow" of good Maater Dibdin, when the
heroof I>\)on " bit the dnat," and Lean£ and Licqnet " fled
the HeU" diaeom&tad. Let M. Bmmet (one of the first

of living bibliographers) profit by their example, lest he
provoke a second VraptUt war ! Hia alienee is the more
inexeuaable after the glowing eulogy of Peignot, who in
hia Eaaai anr I'Hiatoin dn Parchemin et dn V£lin calls
Astle'a book " le plus ample et le plna aarant aur I'hiatolie
de la calligraphic."

^ The geiwral cbancter that we have to give of Mr. AsUe's book
is, that the author's reflectionsareall very Ingenious, most of than
just, and the engmved specimens properly chosen Ibr the enters
tainment of curious readers, and for the Information of men of
business. But we are Ikr from being satisfied with bis speculatkma
on language, and the origin of writing." — Lon. Mtmihlv Seview for
October, 1784 : see this whole article, which has been highly com-
mended. It Is in opposition to some of Astle's views.

■• This work, It is needless to add, will fully establish Mr. Astle's
literary &me, and will transmit his name with lustre to posteri^,
together with those of his Mlow-labonrars, Mr. Harris and Lord
Monboddo."— Zen. Oent. Mag. for 1784; see Home's Introd. to the
Study of Bibliogmphy, vol. 1. p. 72.

Astle'a remarks upon the character and reign of Henry
VII. have been highly praised.

** Ills learning, which is various, cannot escape observation ; and
his authorities In general are the best that could be found. His
Judgment, precision, and minuteness, are all to be highly com-
mended. There Is even a condderable spirit of philanthropy in
his work ; and in so Ikr he advances beyond the character of a mere
antiquary. He displays not, however, any splendour or brlghtneea
of genius, lie is simple snd Judicious, but not original." — yew

Athelard of Bath, flourished 1110-1120, is the great-
est name in English science before Robert Grosset6te and
Roger Bacon. His name wonld lead us to believe that he
was of Saxon blood. He was bom probably in the latter
part of the eleventh oentnry, and first quitted England to
stndy in the schools of Tours and Laon. In the latter
place he opened a school, and had, among other disciples
his nephew, to whom he appears to have been afieotion-
■toly attached. But Athelard's love of knowledge was
unsatisfied with the state of science in France, and he left
his school, and creased the Alps to Salerno, fVom whence he
prooeeded to Greece and Asia Minor, and it is very pro-
bable that he went to study among the Arabs in the East
Bagdad and Egypt were then the seats of Arabian learn-
ing. On his arrival in his native eountiy, after an absence
of seven years, the throne, he tolls ns, was occupied by
Henry I. ; and one of the first books he published after
liis anival, being dedicated to William, Bishop of Syracuse,
most tiave been written before 1116, the date of iLat pre-
late's death. The manner in whidi Athelard speaks of
the reception of the Arabian sciences, seems to show that
they were then quite new among the Christians of the
West, and to contradict the opinion founded on a legend

g reserved by William of Malmsbnry, that they had been
ittodneed long Iiefore by Cterbert We know nothing
mora of Atheliurd's personal history. His celebrity was
great in after times ; and in the thirteenth century Vincent
of Beauvais gives him the title of Pkilotopkat Anglorum.
Athelard's writings appear to have enjoyed a great po-
pularity. We may divide them into two classes — original
worlcs, and translations from the Arabic. Among the
former are, 1. The treatise De eodem et diverse, already
mentioned, of which the only copy known to exist is pre-
served in a manuscript in the Biblioth^que Royale at
Paris. It is written in the form of a letter to his nephew,
ud dedicated to William, Bishop of Syracuse. 2. Tau-
7S

Aia

ner mentiooa a tract with the somewhat similar Udt of
De sic et non sic, which he says commenced with the
words Meministi ex quo inoepimns. 3. The Qussstlones
Naturales, of which there are many manuscripts existing
under a great variety of tides. This treatise was printed
apparenUy as early as the fifteenth oentnry. It is written
in the form of a dialogue between Athelard and his n»-
phew, and is dedicated to Richard, Bishop of Bayeux,
(110^1133.) In this tract Athelard gives his opinion on
various physical questions oonoeming animals, man, and
the elements. At the eonclnsion he promises a treatise on > '
higher philosophioal subjects, De initio de initiis. ,/4. Be- r^
gusB Abaci. This tract, on a subject which since Ou tim*
of Gerbert had employed the pens of a mnltitade of ma-
thematicians, was perhaps one of Athelard's earliest writ-
ings. It is preserved in a MS. of the library of Leyden,
where It is preceded by a short preface containing Athe-
lard's name, and without the preface or name, in a manu-
script in the Bibliothiqae Royals at Paris. 6. A treatise
on the Astrolabe, evidently taken ftvm Arabian writers.
A copy is preserved in the British Museum. Leland, who
sometimes speaks rather extravagantly of the style of the
medieval writers, calls this " libeilnm argntom, nnmero-
sum, rotundum." It is certainly the one of Athelard's
works which least merite that character. 6. Problemata,
Leland mentions a work of Athelard's under this title,
which he had seen in the library of the Franciscans at
London, but which had afterwards disappeared. 7. De
septem artibus lilwralibus. Tanner, on the authority of
Boston of Bury, mentions a work of Athelard's bearing
this title, written partly in prose and partly in verse, and
commencing with the words Sffipomumero est a philosophis.
8. A treatise on Uie Compotns, mentioned by Tanner as
having formerly been in the library of the Eari of Stwn-
ford. 9. Tanner stetes that a tract is indicated in the old
table of oontente of a manuscript in the King's Library,
under the title Liber magistri Adelardi Bathoniensxs qui
dicitnr Mappas clavicula, but the tract itself had been
torn out

The most important of Athelard's translations from the
Arabic was; 1. Tlie Elementa of Euclid. This became
the toxt-book of all succeeding mathematicians. Tb«
manuscripts of Athelard's Enclid are nnmerons. It was
afterwards published with a commentary nnder the name
of Campanns, and printed at Veniee as early as 1482.
Mr. Halliweli has mentioned aome reasons for bdieving
that the commentary also was in reality the work of Athe-
lard. Dr. Dee possessed a manuscript which oontuned
translations of Euclid's Optics and Catoptrics under the
name of Athelard. Athelard also teanslated, 2. The Is»-
goge minor Jafaris mathematici in Astronomiam. There
is a copy of this work in the Bodleian library. S. Eiieh
Eikanresmi, hoc est, tabulse CliawareBmicas ex Arabico
traductsB. A translation of the Kharismian tables. There
is a copy of this also in the Bodleian library. Leland
mentions a work translated Tma the Arabic by Athelard,
under the title Brith Elcbaretmi, which Bale and Boston
of Bury give, more correctly, Bsioh-Jafarim or Eiich-Jafn-
ris : it appears to be a corruption of Zydj Djafiur, and was
probably only another name for the Kharismian tables.
4. The PrsBstigia astronomica Thebedis, which formerly
existed in a manuscript of the library of Avianehes. Par-
haps some other tracts of Athelard exist in manuscripts as
yet unexamined, or pass as anonymous treatises. M. Jonr-
dain was inclined to attribute to him a piece entitled Liber
imbrium secundum Indos, preserved in the Bibliothiqae
Royale at Paris.

England, collected out of History and the Records of this

Kingdom ; wherein is also demonstrated, that printing

! appertaineth to the prerogative royal, and is a flower of

' the crown of England, Lon., 16(4.

I The object of this work was to give the right and title
I of printing to the Crown, and by that means to ascertain
' the validity of the patents which had lieen granted by the
Crown. Atkyns endeavours to rob Cazton of the credit
of having introduced printing into England, which he
ascribes to Frederick Corsellis. Atkyns was an interested
disputant, being a patentee under the Crown for printing,
and at issne with tbe Stationers' Company on this point
We have no space for a review of Atkyns's argument,
or rather assumption ; and we regret this the less as Dr.
Middleton and others have settiad the question in favour
of Caxton.

" Atkyns, who, by his mannsr of writing, ssams to have been
a bold ah|l vain man, might possibly be the Inventor : <br he had
an InterHst in Imposing upon the world." — Da. Mudlitox.

" He waa an Ingenious and observing man, and saw the vanity
of this world sooner than others, though of elder years, which
fitted him the better fcr another,"

Atterbnry, Francis, 1662-1732, Bishop of Roches-
ter, was bom at Milton Keynes, near Newport-Pagnell,
where his father. Dr. Lewis Atterbnry, was rector. In
1676 he was admitted a King's soholar at Westminster,
nnder Dr. Busby ; in 1680 he was elected a student of
Christ Church, Oxford. His proficiency in the classics
soon brought him into considerable notice. In 1682 he
published a Latin version of Dryden's Absalom and Ahith-
ophol, and two years later edited some Latin poems by
Italian authors. In 1690 he married Miss Osbom, a lady
celebrated for her beauty — said to l>e a niece of the Dnke
of Leeds. He took a considerable part in the famous con-
troversy respecting the authenticity of the EpisUes of
Phalaris, in which battle Dr. Richard Bentley and the Hon.
Charles Boyle were the principal combatants. We know
(Vom his own assertion that more than half of Boyle's
" Examination" was written by Atterbnry : Dr. Smalridge
and others bearing a part in this unfortunate production.
(See Bbhtuet, Riorabd ; Botlb, Charlss.)

The Sermons of Atterbnry attraotad great attention
firom the first, and soon gave rise to oontroversies which
we have merely time to refer to. Hoadley, Burnet^ and
Wake, were no mean antagonists, but onr champion seems
never to have been intimidated by numbers or awed by
the fear of names. See a list of works on both sides the
CoDToeation Controversy in the Siogiaphia Biitannica.

Our anthor, always willing to lend a hand in a contest,
composed for Dr. Saoheverell a great portion of the speech
delivered by him at his triaL In 1713 Atterbnry was
raised to the see of Rochester, with the deanery of West-
minster tn commeiuiast. It has been thought that the pri-
macy would not have been above his reach, had not the
Queen's death, in 1711, interposed an effectual bar to all
his prospects of advancement. The present prosperity,
and hopes for the ihture, of Atterbnry, and the political
party to which ho was attached, were buried with Queen
Anne. There had been some talk among the ministers of
proclaiming the Pretender upon the de^ of the Queen,
and Atterbury is said (upon doubtful authority) to have
offered to proclaim the Pretender in his lawn sleeves at
Charing Cross, and to hare declared — while Bolingbroke
and Ormond were protesting — " Never was better cause
lost for want of spirit" Oeorge I. naturally regarded At-
terbury with distmst, and in 1722 there was thought saf-
ficient grounds to authorize his arrest and committal to
the Tower on a charge of high treason. How far this
charge was Justifiable by the facts will perhaps always
remain a matter of uncertainty. On the 16th of May, 1722,
ha was condemned to the " deprivation of all his offices
and benefices, and to suffer perpetual exile." His defence
excited great admiration for the boldness and eloqnonro
by which it was distinguished. . On going ashore at Ca-
lais, he was informed that Lord Bolingbroke — who, after
the rising of parliament, had received the king's pardon —
was arrived at the same place on bis return to England,
whereupon he is reputed to have observed, with an air of
pleasantly, " Then I am exchanged." Abroad he was ac-
tive in behalf of the Pretender, which gives good grounds
for the belief that he was not hardly dealt with in the
sentence of exile. Atterbury died at Paris, Feb. l^th,
1731-2, in the 70th year of his age. His favourite daugh-
ter, Mrs. Morice, visited him in Paris, 1729, she being then
in a decline, and only survived the voyage twenty -four
hours. Pope (who was warmly attached to the bishop)
has recorded this affecting incident in the following linos :
Shi: " Tea, we have lived, — one pang and then ve parti
May Heaven, dear fiUhar, now have all thy beartl
Tet, ah I how much we loved, remember stfl].
Till you are dust like me."

' Dear shads, I wOll

Hi:

Then mix this dust with thine, 0 spotless ghastl

Ylot"

Oh more than Ibrtune, IHenda, or country lostl

Is there on earth one care, one wish beside?

Yes I Save my country. Heav'n I he said, and died I"
Atterbury's writings were almost entirely of a contro-
versial oharnotar. His publications commence with the
AbsalomaadAhithophel,tnos. into Latin verse 1682, and
oonelnda with a belligerent title, inTheVoiceofthe people
no Toioe of Ood, 1710. The Memoirs of his Life and
Conduct, ware pub. in 1723. Four volumes of his Sermons
in 1710. His Epistolary Correspondence, Ac., by J. Nichols,
8vo. 4 vols., in 1783. Private Correspondence in 1768.
Miscellaneous Works with Historical Notes, by J. Nichols,
5 vols. Three vols, containing Sermons, Discourses, and
Letters, have been since republished, 1789-98.

With Pope, Swift, and many of the principal literary
characters of his day, he was on terms of friendship, and
was held in great esteem by his associates, as a man of
great abilities and a skilful politician. We need hardly
say that we cannot consider him as a fitting representative
of primitive episcopacy. There have been many brighter
illustrations of the true character of a Christian bishop
than our bold, declamatory, and mettiesome prelate. Pope
thus alludes to his fMend when transferred, from the wonted
comforts and Inznries of his own halls, to the hospitaUiUes
of the honse of bondi«e :

often reprinted. He left a number of works in MS. Hia

of Dr. Rawlinson, 5 vols., waa pub. 1719-25. In 1813,
appeared Letters written by eminent Persons in 17th and

Aubrey, 3 vola Aubrey's Collection for Wilts was pub-
lished in 1821. Anthony Wood, who has drawn consider-
ably in his Athen. Oxon. from Aubrey's biographical MSS.,
speaks highly of him in the second volume of his Fasti,
and in his History of the University of Oxford; but after
his quarrel with him, he gives him the character of

** A shiftless person, roving and roagotie-headud, and sometimes
little better than erased. And being exceedingly credn1ons,wonld
stair his many letters sent to A. W. with ftwlerlesand mlsinliMina-
tlons, which sometimes would guide him Into the paths of emr."

Mr. Toland remarks of our author —

"Though he was extremely snperstltious, or seemed io be so,
yet he was a very honest man, and most accurate In bis account
of matters of ftct. But the fccts he knew, not the reflections he
made, wera what 1 wanted."

" ^Vhatever Wood, In a peevish humour, may have thought or
said of Mr. Aubrey, by whose labours he highly profited, or bow-
ever ftntastieal Aubn^ may have been on the subject of chemlHtry

or ghosts, his character Ibr veracity has never been Impeached;

'. . his ■
tentlon." — Haloni.

and as a vary dll^nt antiquary, his testimony Is worthy of at*

It is worthy of observation that Wood's aeoounl of
Milton was literally transcribed firom Aubrey's MS., who
was intimately acquainted with the great poet. Qifford
despatches Aubrey in his usual Jeffrey style :

** Whoever expects a rational aeoount of any 1^ however
trite, from Aubrov, will meet with dlsappointioent . . . Aubrey
thought little, beilered much, and confused erery thing." — Lifi

Hoare, whatarer he "expooted," WM not " dlnppotntod,"
in Inding much Talnabla nutter in Aabrey'a HS8. ; wit-
nesi Sir Riohard'a exoellant work on the Antiquities of

Dr. Sjmmons hu thought proper to take our author ee-
▼erely to task after this fuhion :

** What credit can be doe to thii Mr. Anbrej, who picked np in-
Ibrmatlon on the highway, and icattered It everywhere as aathen-
tlo! . . . and who, making onr yonnx Shak^Mare a butcher's
boy, could embroe his bands In the blood of calvee, and reilr»>
sent him as azultlns In poetiy over the oonTnldons of the dying
animals?"

Now we oannot see that the gravamen of this indiot-
ment, when sifted a little, amounts to any thing very for-
midable. " Information on the highway" may be unez-
oeptionably authentic; the Royal Psalmist deprecates the
publicity of the "streets of Askelon," and we are asanred
on the best authority that " Wisdom crieth without, and
ntteretb her roioe in the streets :" the jurenile -Wolsey,
who certainly was possessed of no ordinary genius, doubt-
less had often "embrued his hands in the blood of calves,"
and Shakspeare senior was prolnbly much better pleased
with his son's reciting poetry over the evidence of his in-
dustry in aiding his faUier's labours, than he would have
been with his writing poetry, and leaving his parent to do
all the work himself. As to the triumphal song, which so
'excites the doctor's ire, we submit that the accusation is
not established by the record : Aufai«y says that " when
he killed a calfe, he would do it in a kigk MgU, and make a
ipaeoh." .Now what is there in this thai proves the charge
of aznltation 7 What is there that forbids the supposition
of an epteede, rather than a P'""^ ' -^"^ ■" epicede we
contend it was, and challenge Dr. Symmons and the whole
Society of Antiquaries at his back, to disprove our allega-
tion. Moreover, does not Haister Aubrey tell us that our
mat bard was not only "a handsome, well-ehaped man,"
but also " verie good company, and of a very ready and plea-
sant and smooth witt !" But to be serious, we might find
graver faults with Dr. Symmons's Life of Shakspeare than
he can with " Maister Aubrey's" " information." We do
not pretend to insist upon the infallibility of Aubrey, bat
it struck us as barely possible that living as he did with
the contemporaries of Shakspeare, he might happen to
know as much of his history as Dr. Symmons, and others,
who favoured the world with their narrations some two
centuries later.

After some attention to commeroial pursuits, Mr. Audubon
concluded to follow the bent of his native taste, and devote
his time to omithologioal investigations. He travelled for
a long time, collecting materials of the most valuable cha-
racter, which he was afterwards persuaded to give to the
world. Accordingly in 1826, he visited Europe, to pro-
cure subscribers for his " Birds of America." His recep-
tion was most gratifying. Cuvier, Herschel, and Hum-
boldt, Brewster, Wilson, Jeffrey, and Sir Walter Scntt,
evinced a lively interest in his success. His great woik
was completed in 87 parts, (1828, eto.,) elephant folio, con-
' taining 448 plates of birds of the natural sixe, beanttfally
I coloured, published at £182 14«., (tlOOO.) This work em-_^
I braced 5 vols. fol. of engravings, and 5 vols. 8vo of letter^

' thologicol Biography. At the time of handing his first
\ drawings to the engraver, be bad no snliscribers, and his
friends endeavoured to dissuade him from what they deemed
I a rash enterprise. But he was not to be deterred : "My heart
I was nerved, and my reliance npon that Power on whom
all must depend brought bright anticipations of success."
On the completion of this great undertaking, he writes,

" Once more* snrronndMl by all the memben of my daar &mfly,

Aylmer, or iElmer, Joha, 1521-1504, an eminent
English prelate, was at one time chaplain to the Marquis
of Dorset, afterwards Duke of Suffolk, and tutor to bis
daughter, Lady Jane Orey. See Ascham, Roobr. In
the convocation held in the Arst year of Queen Mary, he
wu one of the six learned man who offered to dispata all
Mm controverted points in religion against the most learned
champions of the Papists. Obliged to leave his country,
be found a quiet retreat at Zurich. Whilst abroad, he
answered a treatise pnb. by John Knox, at Qeneva, in
1S58, against the government of women. Tbe title of this
answer is snfflciently eurions to be extracted :

"An Rarborowe for MthfUII and trewe suUectM, against the
late blowne Blaste concerning tbe Oouermfit of Wemen ; wbervln
be confuted al such reasons ss s straunger of Ute made In that be-
halfe. WlthaBrierKxhorlationtoObnlitinca. Stmsb., IMS, 4ta''

Upon the aoeession of Elisabeth, he returned, and in
1582 wa* made Archdeaeon of Lincoln, and in 1576 was
promoted to tha bishoprie of London, apoo the translation
of Bishop Sandys to York.

" He was well Isamsd In the langnagaa, was a rsady dispalaai,
and a deep divine." — M^tn. Oxoh,

Wood tells OS of an instance of his taot in exciting tbe

AYS

attention of an inattastive auditory, which deyiea, or
something equally efficacious, we commend to soma praaeh-
en of our own day.

•• When his Anditoiy grew dull and Inattentive he would, with
some pretty and unexpected conceit, move them la attention.
Among the rMt was this : He nad a long Text In Hebrrm, whan-
upon all seemed to listen what wonld cone after such stnuuta
Words, as If they had taken It for some omiamtloB : then lie
shewed their folly, that when he spake Bti^uh, whereby they
might be Instructed and edliled, they neglected, and hearkened
not to It; and now to read Hebrew, which they undarstcod no
weed tO, they aeem'd careful and attentlva."

1^ laborious exertions in the vast and Invaluable library of the
British MnsBom, form a striking Instanes of his seal and inde&ti-
gaUa attention. He soon scqnlred that slight degree of knowledge
ta several languages, and that terhnleal knowledge of old books

the Ubcarian as well as the visiting scholar.'* — Chalmbss.

Mr. Ayacongh died at his apartments in the British Mn-
seom, OcL 30, 1804. We avail ourselves of this oppor-
tnnity lo recommend most earnestly to all authors and
pablishers the adoption, in all eaaea where books are of
any permanent value, of a copious index. Which of onr
re»deta of a literary turn has not, pertiap* a dozen times
in a day, replaced a book on its shelf, in disappointment and
diacnst, knowing that some passage wae there to which he
wished to refer, bat which, ^ler an exhanstion of time and
palienee, he was nnable to iind from the want of a good
Index t It is well remarked by the Lon. Monthly Review :

** The ecDpOatlon of an Index Is one of thoae useful labours tor
which the paUk, commonly better pleased with entertainment
than with real service^ an rarely so forward to eipreas their grati-
tude aa we think they ought to be. It baa been considered as a
task fit only far the pioddiug and the dull : but with mora truth.
It asay be ssid that this Is the judgment of the Idle and the shal-
low. The valoe of any thing. It has been observed, is best known
by the want of It. Agreeably to this Idea, we, who have often ex-
I great lueouTeniences from the want of mi^ioej, entertain

perienced
&hlghe

B highest sense of their worth and loiportanoe. We know that,
In the oonstmctlon of a good Index, there Is flu- more Kope for the
exetrlse of Jodgment arid abllltlea, than Is commonly supposed.
We (eel the merits of the eompller of such an Index, and we are
aver ready to testify onr thankftalness for his exertions."

Antbors and editors are often deterred iVom making an
index by the fear of lalwnr ; but this is no excuse ; if the
book be worth pablishing, it is worth an index, and the
hlMnn' can be ranch reduced by system.

** A Toath of 18 has transcribed the whole of Xenophon's Cyrl
Bapsdhlu, In order to an Index ; and has entered upon Tbucy-
dUesCw the same Borposa. Another young man here has attacked
Haidnln'a Mio edition of Themtatins; and the senior youths of
Magdalen School In Oxtwd are Jointly composing an Index to the
•rst vdnme of Dr. Battle's Isocimtes. . . . Give me leave to ob-
aerve to yon that experience has shown us a way of saying much
tiBM (peflnus more than half of tlle whole time required) In trans-
sribtng an Anther for an Index, by first transcribing all the words
er a pa^e, and then getting down the number of the pege and line
allv each word of the page, Instead of adding the number Imme-
diately as each word Is written." (The learned Mr. Merrick In a
Mier to Dr. Wharion.)— Aiekeb's LUnnry Atmdala, vol. Iv.

The following remarks nbnndantly support our position :

*'Thoas anthors, whose subfeds reonlre them to be voluminous,
win do wall. If they would be rememnered as long as pnsslble, not
to enU a duty wUch authors In general, but especially modern
antbors, are too apt to neglect — tluu- of appending to their works
a good Index. For their deplorable deficiencies In this respsct,
Prafeasor De Morgan, speaking of historians, assigns the curious
naiiM, ' that they think to oUlge their readers to go through them
tvm begittniag to end, by maklngthls the only way of coming at
the eoBtenla of their voinmes. They ara much mlstsken; and
tksf might learn fivm their own mode of dealing with the writ-
ings of othera, how their own will be used In turn.' We think
that the onwlse Indolence of authors has probably had much more
to 4e wUh the aoattar than the reason thus hniBarously aaslgned ;
hwt the ftct which he proceeds to mention Is Inconteetably true.
'Ko waim (of this class) is so nDCK aun *s tbs an wao makis
A ooos nrasx, — oa ao wccK otid.' "— Hxhxt Rooxas -. Tlu Vanity

Among nodem worka which might lie mentioned aa
praaaotiBg eopioiu indexee are Ball's edition of Robert-

soo's Worka, Lon., 1840 ; Westiey and Davis'a edition of
Gibbon's Decline and Fall, Lon., 1837; aome of the publi-
cations of that enterprising bibliopole, H. 6. Bohn, and
many other worka that might be cited. But of all full in-
dexes within onr knowledge, commend na to that appended
to Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, where to eight volumes
of text we have more than fourteen hundred columns
of index ! Thia scale is, of course, too vast for general
imitation, but it teaches a leason to those who content
themselves with giving a few lines of index to a vast body
of text ! But the greatest example of seal in thia line on
record — the first index-maker in the world — is the British
House of Commons ! In I778there were paid for compil-
ing indexes to the Journals of the House of Commons, the
following sums : To Mr. Edward Moore, £8,400 as a final
eompensation for thirteen years' labour; Rev. Mr. Forster,
£8,000 for nine yeara' ditto; Rev. Dr. Roger Flaxman,
£3,000 for nine years' ditto ; and to Mr. Cunningham, £iOO
in port fur ditto; making a total of £12,900! Nor is Uiia
the end thereof. For we may say with Nestor — in another
aenae—

*' In such iVufeMS, although small
To their subsequent v<jun)es, there Is ssen
The baby figure of the giant mass
Of things to come, at large." — TVo^laii and Onuida,

To quote the same author, give us a good "index," and
we will almost excuse an " obscure prologue." Of coarse,
like all good things, indexea may be abused ; the pretender
will make them the end of hia journey, whilst to the true
atudent they will l>e merely the sign-posts of the road ;
such charlatans they were, who two centuries since excited
the ire of Joseph Olanville, and caused him to exclaim:

" Methlnks 'lis a plllfUl piece of knowledge, that can be Uamt
fiom an Index ; and a poor ambition to be rich In the Inventory of
another's treasuro."~7'A< Tunltn qf IhgmaUamg.

Pope, too, tolls us

*' How Index-learning turns no student pale.
Yet holds the eel of sclenoe by the tall."— i>uiiaad, B. 2.

But we doubt if much harm was ever done in this way.
The very ambition thus censured may lead to real aoqui-
sition, and often has. Watts appreciated a good indoz go
highly, that he tells his reader,

" If a book has no Index or good table of eontenta, 'tis very use-
(hi to make one aa you are reading It."

We may conclude this rather prolix (we hope it may
prove to be a useful) article, by citing the authority of a
man of letters, who was never excelled for a practical com-
mon-sense view of subjects which engaged hia attention.

Dr. Johnson to Riohardson respecting a new edition of
Clarissa:

" 1 wish you would add aa AidlKs ramai, that when the reader
recollects any Incident, he may easily find It, which at preeent he
cannot do, unless he knows In which volnme h Is told ; for Clarissa
Is not a performance to be read with eagerness, and laid aside for^
ever; but will be occasioiially consulted by the busy, the sged,
and the studious; and therefore 1 beg that this edition, by which
I suppose posterity Is to afatde, may want nothing that can fluill>
tate Its use. I am, rir, yours, Ac, Bui. Johmsom."

It was exoellenUy said by the learned Michael Mattaire
— a Corypheus of index-makers himself:

" Non est acutlsslml, fkteor, Ingenll, non altlselauc erodHlonls,
Indices oontexere. Uj^orem tamen nil moleotlam editor!, nil lee-
tori utllltatem alTeri; cumqne rel ci^nsllblt nccessltas ex Ipslos

666 of Nichols's Lltennr Anecdotes.

That true worthy, Fuller— Thomas the quaint — gives hia
teatimony on the aame side :

" An Index Is a neeeasary impltwunt and no impedtment of a
book, except In the aune sense wnereln the OlrruipFS of an Army
are termed ImptdimenU. M'lthout this, a large Author Is but a
labyrinth, without a due to direct the Keader therein. I confess,
there Is a lasy kind of Learning which Is only indioal; when
Scholars (like Adders which onely Ute the Horae-heels) nible but
at the Tablea, which ara cotes Utror«ai,ne|deellng the body of the
Book. But. though the tils deaetve no cratches, (let not a staff be
used by them, but on them.) pity It Is the ioear;y should be denied
the benefit thereof, and Indnstrlotts Scholars prohibited the acconk-
modatlon of an Index, moat nssd by those who most pretend to
contemn tt." — WbrlMies.

The index to Nioholas Antonio's Bibliotheea of Spanieh
Writers baa reoeired great commendation :

'< I have quoted Mr. BsUlet, who shews the veins of It particu-
larly. He bad good reason for recommending even the Indexea,
for they are very well formed and useftiL The Author has added
a sfaori preflu^ to them, which shews his excellent taste and Judg-
ment: he has quoted there the thought of a Fpanlsh writer, In&

the book Itself may be written by any person else.' The contrary
method Is generally taken ; Authors refer to others the pains of
making alphabetioal Indexea; and It moat be owned, that thoae

When Baillet lauded Antonio's Index, he waa like an
epicure, who oommends the dish which tickles his own

falate. Baillet waa such an admirer of a good plump
ndex, that when Hermant had him snugly installed a> ,
labrarian to M. De Lamoi^non, the uncouth hclluo Hhro- \
rum sets to work to make an Index, and an Index Rerum
at that!

" Though troubled with a great pain in his legs, which some-
times grew Tery Tlolent, and notwluutandlng the many rlslts he
reoelved, which continually Interrupted his labours, he applied
himself with so much diligence to the drawing up of an Index
of all the suhtectfl treated of In the books In H. De Lamirignon's
llbrmr7, that he finished It in August, 1082, [abont two years* la-
bour.] That Index grew to such a length, oj the additions he
continued to make to It, that It contains thlrty*fiTe Tt^umes in
folio, all written by M. Baillet UmselC When he had flnlshed
that laborious, but usenu. worlE, be wrote a Latin pmlhee to It,
which he published. We And there an account of the manner in
which be drew up that Index. He promised in the same place to
write an Index, or Catalogue, of ul the authors, whose books
were in H. De lAmodgnon's library.'*

Gruter's great work on Inscriptions — InscripUones an-
tiquse totiua orbis romani in absolutissimnm corpus re-
dactsB, (Ist edit., Heidelberg, 1002) — waa not only greatly
aided by Bcaliger, but so anxious was this eminent scho*
lar that the work ahould be complete, that he devoted ten
montha to writing an index of 24 olaases.

'* If It appears surprising that so great a man should undertake
•0 laborious a task, and which seemed so much below him, we
ought to consider that such Indexes cannot be made but by a
Terf able man. To suooeed In that task, It Is necessary to under-
stand perfectly the Inscriptions, and know how to dlftlngniah
what la peculiar from what Ig common ; and sometimes to lllua-
trate them by some remarks, and explain the sense, not only €t
words, of which there remain but one or two syllables, bat erea
of single letters.**— Lv Glbbo : BOiKcth. Chaitie.

After finishing his Index, Boaliger wrote the following
epigram :

'' Si quern dura manet sententia Jodtets, ollm
Damnatom lemmnhi inppllctlsque caput;
Hune neque &brill lassent Ergastnla masssi
Nee rfgldaa Texent foesa metalla manos.
Lezlca eontexat : nam csctora qnid moror? omnee
Pcenamm fkcles his labor unns habet.**

Le Clerc truly bints that it la not eTer7 man that oaa
write, wbo ifl capable of making an Index : we have an
amasing instance of the evila resolting fh>m carelessness
in this matter, in the case of

" The writer who drew up the Index to Deleohamp*H Athmuans,
who mys that Euripides lost In one day, bin wife, two aonis and
a daughter, and refers ns to page 60, where nothing like this Is
found: but we find In page 61. that Euripides g<rfng to Icaria,
wrote an epigram on a disaster that happened at a peasant's honas,
where a woman, with her two sons and a daughter, died by eating
of mushrooms. JudKe, from this instance, what haxards thoee run
who rely on Index-makers." — Batle.

This only proves that we maat have good Indez-makera,
not that we most do without sneh aids.

Sir Robert waa educated at St Andrew's. He waa em-
ployed both at homo and abroad in the service of James I.
and Charles I. Ho was knighted by King Jamoa, and ap-
pointed by him one of the gentlemen of his bed-chamber,
and private secretary to his queen. Ben Jonson declared
to Dmmmond that Sir Robert had an affection tw him,
(Jonson.) Some of his English piecea, which have been
highly commended ibr their style, were published In Wat-

Bon'a C<^eotion of Soottiah Poems, (1706-11.) Anbrey
remarka that Mr. John Dryden hais seen verses of lu%
acme of the beat of that age, printed with some other
verses. "Anbrey fbrther states that he waa acquainted
with all the wits of his time in England." He died at
London, March, 1638, and was buried in Westjninater
Abbey, under a handsome monnment of black marble.

as Professor of Literature and Belles Lettres in the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh, where hia lectorea, distinguished by
great ability and correct literary taste, are in high eatinub-
tion. He is now editor of that sterling periodical, Black-
wood's Edinburgh Magasine, to whiob bo has long been a

dtous settings ftrth of genuine Scotch oharaeter, are almost unri>
vailed." — JfenitfMe Tim*.

Mr. Aytoun wrote many pieoes in the Book of Ballada,
edited by Bon Gaultier, a nom de pZume, under which ha
and Mr. Theodore Martin have contributed to a number of
periodicals. 1. Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers, and other
Poems, Lon. and Edin., 1840. The popularity of this
work ia evinced by its having reached its 10th od. ia
1857. It has been printed in America.

** Pro&ssor Aytoun has appreciated the wealth of his country's
history in ttiemes for the historical ballad. ... In the Tolume now
befbre US, he puts forth a sostained power, which, In our estlmap
tion, places blm In the foremost rank of the poets of his tine. Uia
lays combine the best qiuUties of HaeauUy and of WUllam Mullar.
They have all the historic truth and pletunesqua Ibroe of the former^
with all the poetlo fire and sUtely march of the Utter. We feel, in
reading these iays, that we are dealing, not with shadows, but with
living men. ne are swept back into the stirring times ct old,
when brave hearts and h^h souls declared themselTee In biave
deeds; — when honour, self-denial, deTOtion, were living things; —
when patriotism and lognklty were active principles, and the wor-
ship of mammon had not sfarlTdled up the sons of men Into self-
seeung and swdld pride. We thanli the po^ who elevated out
soul by a noMe tliought— by a delineation of some generous and
lofty nature, woven from tlw visknta of his own brain. We doubly
thank him who links nc^le thoughts and noble deeds with socne
great historic name ; — ^who places the hero living befbre ns, till we
can read bis eye, and hear his voice, and be swayed by his In-
fluence. But above all do we thank him wbra he rescoea some
great name fVom dishonour, and drowns the slander forever in the
torrent of our sj'mpathles. This Professor Aytoun lias done t>r
two of the noblest, yet most misrepresented, names In Soottiah
annals. *Tlie Execution of Montrose' and "Ilie Burial March of
Dundee,* are tributes of historical as well as of poetical Justice to
the two men of all others the most conspicuous Ibr dUvalrons tIt*
tue in the annals of modem Burope." — DtMin Uni^enUg Mag^

"The lays before ns poeseas fluency, vigour, and movesoent,

Incidents and fhnn stirring scenes in our medlasval Scottish histo-

BacoB, Fraacis, Baron Vemlaoi, Visconnt
St. Alban'S, ]&6(I-1-162S, one of the most illustrious of
modem philosophers, was the youngest sun of Sir Nicholas
and Lady Anne Bacon. He was b. at York-House, in the
Strand, London, on the 22d of January. As a child he
was >«markable for quickness of thought and great pre-
cision and force of language. These qualities attracted
the notice of Queen Elixabetb, who playfully called him
her yonng Lord Keeper, intimating his probable succession
to his father's honours, Ben Jonson represents him as
marked for this distinction, even before the sagacity of the
Qaeen had prompted the prediction. Jonson was one of
the party who partook of Chancellor Bacon's hospitality
at Tork-honse, on January 22, 1620, the sixtieth birth-day
«f the host; the poet celebrated the occasion in choice
IMMtiy^ of which the following is a specimen :
"Hall, happy genlns of this ancient pile!
How conies It all things m about ihco smile I
The flle. the wine, the men— and In the midst
Thou Btand'st. as if some mystery thou didst.
Xngland's Ugh Chaneellor. the destined lutlr
In his soA enidla, to Us hther's chair;
yfhom even thnad tlie IMes spin round and fttll,
Ont of their choicest and their whitest wool,"

In his 13th year he was entered of Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he remained for three yearv and a half.
Ve moat make great allowances for the statement so con-
fidently asserted, that at this early age he had not only
detected the fallacies of the phitosopny of Aristotle, but
had mentally projected the substitution of that " more ex-
cellent way" of arriving at truth, the introduction of
which has placed him in the first rank of modem philoso-
phers. That he was dissatisfied with the canonical anthor-
iticfl of the prevailing school, and felt that there was a
vitality in the teachings of truth which revolted at the ar-
tificial harriers so rigidly imposed by the "philosophy
falaely so called," to which it was the habit to bow with
naqotationing snlnnission— this we do not doubt. He
had, to use his own words in later years, token "all know-
ledge to be his province," and bis was not a mind to be
imtiently trammelled by any system. After leaving col-
lege he visited France, in the train of Sir Amias Paulet.
Whilst abroad, he wrote the Notes on the State of Europe,
which we find in his works. In February, 1580, he was
summoned home by the death of his father. Being very
slenderly provided for, he made an application to gorem-
Dscat to obtain some certain source of income, which would
allow him to devote his attention to literature and politics.
Meet nnfortnnately for the csnse of science, this applica-
tion was ansnccessfid. Choosing the law as his profession,
be obt^ned a good deal of practice, but it is not unlikely
that the opinion of the queen was shared by many, and
prevented his gaining any brilliant reputation as a pro-
fomd lawyer. " Bacon," said Elizabeth, " bos a great
wit and much teaming, bnt in law showeth to the uttermost
of his knowledge, and is not deep." There is great rea-
son to suspect much iignstioe in this opinion. Where he
bad every right to expect enoonrmgement and aid fVom his
powerful relative, Lord Burleigh, he seems to have en-
countered any thing but a spirit of kindness and good
wHL It was natarnl, therefore, that he should attach
himself to the party of Burleigh's opponrat, the Soil of

BAG

Essex; and this nobleman heartily espoused his eansa.
We grieve to say that the disinterested kindness of the
earl wfe repaid by the basest ingratitude. When his un-
happy patron bowed his head is his hoar of darkness and
desolation, Francis Bacon was by his side, — not as the
sympathising friend, to cheer, to comfbrt, and to console,
but he was there as the accusing fiend, to condemn, — as
the heartless executioner, to bind and manacle the victim,
and east him "to the lions." Nor satisfied with this, he
hesitated not to affix a stigma to his benefactor's grave,
and rehearse, for the information of posterity, the " Decla-
ration of the Treasons of Robert, Earl of Essex '." When
we remember this disgraceful transaction, we feel that we
have no right to censure the portrait drawn by a great
poet, of our greater author —

''The wisest, brightest, meanest, of mankind."

Tet Mr. Montagu can herein justify Bacon, and plead
for him " as a man pleadeth for his first-born !" How
trae it is that the biographer and the lover are almost sy-
nonymous terms ! Mr. Montagu, in order to defend a bad
cause, is obliged, as is usual in such cases, to plead a bad
principle; viz. that a lawyer in the advocacy of his brief
is permitted, nay obliged, to ignore moral honesty, tmth,
justice, and every other virt-ue, if the interest of his client
shall require such a tremendous sacrifice, such wholesale
abnegation of the very foundations of public and private
morality. Wo do not u-'O Mr. Montagu's phraseology, but
we do not " in the estimation of a hair^ overstrain the
stntcmcnt of what is done every day in our " courts of
ju8tice."( !) Mr. Macaulay's remarks upon this subject,
and in the same connexion, ate much to the purpose.
See his Essay on Lord Bacon.

In 1503 he sat as member for the county of Middlesex.
Fortunately, wo have a graphio sketch of Bacon as ths
orator, by bis Mend Ben Jonson :

" There happened In my time one noble speaker who was ftall of
gravity la his speaking. Ills language, when he eould spara or
pass by a jest, was nobly oensorlous. No man ever spoke more
neatly, more nressly, more weighllly, or suffered less emptiness,
lees Idleness, in what he uttered. No member of Ms speech but
consisted of bis own giaoes. His hearers eould not cough or look
aside flrom Um without losa Ho commanded where he spoke^
and had his judges angry and pleased at his devotion. No man
hod their affections more In his power. The fear of every man
that heard him was lest he should make an end." — Viscrir^ts.

Bacon's earliest publication was the first part of his cele-
brated Essays, or Counsels, afterwards considerably aug-
mented. The Elements of the Common Law of England,
written in 1696, and The History of the Alienation Office,
written in 1698, were not published until after his death.
The Essays attained immediate popularity, and were trans-
lated into Latin, French, and Italian.

In July, 1603, Bacon was presented to King James I.,
at Whitehall, and received the honour of knighthood. In
1604 he was appointed King's Counsel ; shortly after which
he married Alice, the daughter of Benedict Bamham, Esq.,
Alderman. In the next year appeared his treatise on The
Advancement of Learning, which was the basis of the
Be Angmentit. The De Sapientia Teterom was published
in 1609.

In 1616, Sir Francis Bacon was sworn of the Privy
Council, and in March, 1617, be received the appointment
of Keeper of the Great Seal. He was much beholden for
his preferment to the infiuence of Buckingham, and not a
little to his personal solicitation of the King, in which he
was not backward to assort his merits and fitness for the
post of Lord Keeper. On the 4th of January, 1618, he
was made Lord HigU Chancellor, and on the 11th of July
ensuing he was ennobled by tfae title of Baron of Veniiam,
and three years later was raised to the dignity of Yiseount
St Alban's. Fain would we leave him in this exalted posi-
tion, but, alas ! a great fall was at hand. King James bad
been compelled by his necessities to summon a Parliament ;
and its Committee in the Courts of Justice reported on
the 15th March, that abuses of no common order had been
charged.

"The Person," said the chairman, "against whom the things
are olleenl. Is no less than the Lord Chancellor; a man so endued
with all parts, both of nature and of art, as that I will say no more
of blm, being not able to say enough,"

Our limits forbid any other than a brief notice of this
melancholy portion of the Lord Chancellor's history. The
reader will find an admirable analysis of the whole subjeetj
as well as of the Baconian philosophy, in Mr. Macaulay's
well-known essay on Lord Bacon. That there were extenu-
ating circumstances in the well-founded charges against
the Chancellor, may be admitted, without making him a
false witness against himself in his memorable confession .

To the oommittee of the Lorda vho wen sent to ivqnir* ,
if this confession' were indeed signed by himself, his pa- |
thetio answer was : " My Lords, it is my act, my hand,

The sentence passed npon the offender was a fine of
£40,000, imprisonment in the Tower during the King's I
pleasure, incapacity to hold any office in the state, or to |
sit in Parliament, and banishment for life from the verge ,
of the Court. This heary sentence proved to l>e little mote
than a matter of form. He was confined in the Tower
but two days, his fine was released by the King, he was
suffered to appear at Court, and in 1624 the political inca-
pacity under which he still suffered was removed. His
seat as a peer in the House of Lords was again open to
him, and he was summoned to the next Parliament, though
he thought proper to decline attendance. His habits of
improvidence still followed him in his retreat. The teacher
of philosophic humility and moderation excited the asto-
nishment of a prince by his ostentation, and the author of
the Essays on Boonomy and Improvidence was continually
harassed by domestic debts. Prince Charles, encountet^
ing his imposing equipage and numerous train on the road,
exclaimed with admiration : " Do what we can, this man
•ooms to go out in snuff."

His fai£ful friend. Rare Ben Jonaon, groups together
his sunshine and twilight in a few pathetic lines :

" Mj conceit of his penon was never increased towards him by
his place or honours ; but 1 have and do revorence him for the
graatneia that was only pn>|)er to himself^ in tbAt bo seemed to me
over, by his work, one <n the greatest men and moat worthy of adml.
ration that had bisen in many ayes. In his adversity 1 ever prayed
that God would give him strength ; for greatness he could not want.**

The ex-chancellor survived his political bankruptcy
five years. The cause of bis death is well known. Anx-
ious to test a theory that he had formed relative to the
efficacy of snow in arresting animal putrefaction, he one
cold day left his coach, near Highgate, bought a fowl at an
adjoining cottage, and stuffed it with snow. He was sud-
denly seised with an alarming sensation of chilliness, and
was oarried to the mansion of the Eari of Arundel, at
Highgate, where he lingered for a week, and expired on
Easter morning, 1626, in the arms of his friend. Sir Julias
Cassar. His last letter was written to his host, who was
then absent from home. L:i this letter he calls himself the
"martyr of science," and compares himself to Pliny the
Elder, who lost his life in the cause of investigation. In
his wUl he leaves his name and memory to men's charita-
ble speeches, " to foreign nations, and to my own oountry-
men, after some time be passed over."

We shall now proceed to review, briefly, the literary pro-
ductions of the distinguished subject of our memoir. We
have already referred to Mr. Basil Montagu as a biogra-
pher, and frankly expressed our dissent from some of his
conclnsions respecting the character of one the influence
of whose name is great enough for any thing but success-
ful resistance to the verdict of unconquerable truth. But
we should be justly blamed did we omit to record our grati-
tude to Mr. Montagu for his splendid edition of the Works
of Lord Bacon, in 17 vols. 8vo, 1825-34 : £8 18*. 6d. ;
lane paper, £26 Ibi. td. See Ellis, K. Lebue.

ft is deeply to be regretted that Lord Bacon never car-
ried out a favourite plan long cherished by him, of

" Reducing or periecting the course, or oorpe, of the Common
lAW, digesting or recompiling them, so th|it the entire body and
snbetance of Law shoald rainain ; only discharged of idle, or un-

Iirolltable, or hurtful matter. I dare not advise to cast the law
nto a new mould. The work which T propound tendeth to prun-
ing and grafting the Laws, and not to ploughing up and planting
It again ; for snch remove I hold a perilons Innovation."

His Elements of the Laws of England, published in
1636, consists of, 1. A Collection of some Principal Rules
and Maxims of the Common Law, with their Latitude and
Extent. We have here but twenty-five out of three hun-
dred Rules which he had collected :

** I thought good, before I brought thom all Into ibrm, to publish
some fow, uiat by the taste of other men's opinions. In this first,
I might receive either approbation In my own courne, or better ad-
vice for the altering of others which remain ; for It Is great reason
that that which is intended to the profit of others, should be gnlded
by the conceits of others."

The excellence of that which we possess makes us grieve
that we have so small a proportion of that which the au-
thor designed :

" Though some great masters of the Law dM outgo him In balk

and particularly In eases: yet In the science of the grounds, and

mysteries of the Law, he was exceeded by none." — Prtjfiux to Blach-

il'm^$ AnaL

phieal literature of the world would have been Bacon's niu-
trations of Three Hundred Rules and Maxims of the Com-
mon Law ! With that keenness of perception, profhndity
of judgment, and eritieal accuracy of definition, which dia-
tinguished Utis legal philosopher, we should have had a
noble eompend of juridical wisdom ; an invaluable auxiliary
to the teachings of that Volume which enforces equity and
truth in the duties of this life by the solemn saactioiu of
the life to come. Bacon's royal master would then har*
had a double claim upon the gratitude of mankind, in the
inestimable version of the inspired Scriptures, and in one
of the grandest conceptions of human wisdom. The M-
eond portion of The Elements of the Common Law, wai
styled by its author, The Use of the Law for Preservation
of our Persons, Gioods, and Good Names, according to the
Laws of this Land. This treatise has been praised as

" Not only oompletely fitted for the Improvement of snch aa
study the l^w, but also the Book in the world best calculated to
give every man of good sense and unbiassed judgment, both a ffa.
nerml idea, and a good opinion of the Law, wblch is represented
therein in that U^t which Is at once tbe fchmt, fullest, and meat
agreeable."

The beat-known law treatise of Lord Bacon is bis Read-
ing on the Statute of Uses, which was delivered before the
Society of Gray's Inn about the year 1600. This oan be
considered only an unfinished design :
** A profound treatise on the suhject, as fiu* as it goes.'" — HAKoaAVl.
The History of the Alienation Office has been cited a* a
proof of

" How great a master he was not in one law only, but In oar
History and Antiquities ; so that It may be justly said, there never
fell any thing from his pen which mere clearly and ftilly demon-
stratsdhisablUtles."

The History of Henry YII. haa been eanmred by Dr.
Johnson as evincing a want of care usual to the dsj :

" It is but of late that Historians bestow pains and atlentleii
In consulting records, to attain to accuracy. Bacon, In writing
his History of Henry Til., does not seem to have eoniulted any,
but to have Just taken what he found in other histories, and blend>
ed it with what he learned by tndltlon."

But Bishop Nicolson, speaking of the aathors who hare
written concerning the reign of Henry VII., cannot mfli-
ciently commend oar historian :

"This good work was most effeetnally undertaken and conk-
^ted hy the Inoompamble Sir Vimncls Bacon, who has bravely
surmounted all those difficulties, and passed over those rocks and
shallows, against which he took such pains to caution other lea
experienced historians. He has perfectly put himself into King
Henry's own garb and livery, giving as sprightly a view of the
secrets of his Council, as if himself had been President In It"—
Engtuh Historical Library,

Catherine Macanlay, on the other hand, blames the his-
torian for flattering King James

'* So flur as to paint his grandfiither, Henry the Seventh. In an
amiable light" — Ca^A^rtne Maoaulay't HtMtorjf of England, vol. L
We proceed to the consideration of Bacon's philosophi-
cal writings. His Essays, or Counsels, Civil and Moral,
were first published in 1697; 2d edition, with additions,
in 1612; 3d, still further augmented, in 1624. In the
dedication to his brother, Anthony Bacon, the author states
that he published his Essays " becanse many of them had
stolen abroad in writing," and he was anxious to give a
correct impression of them.

"To write Just treatises requires lelsuro In the writer, and lei-
sure in the reader. . . . The word [Kssays] Is late, but the thing
Is ancient; tbr Seneca's Kplstlee to LucUlns, If you mark them
well, are but Essays, that is, dispersed meditations, though con-
veyed In the Ibrm of Epistles."— JVoai <Ae inUmlid Prtfatt to Ms
2d editim.

This is the work by which Bacon is best known to the
mivjority of readers.

"The first In thnp, and, we may jnstly say, the first in excd-
lence, of English writings on moral prudence, are the Sssays of
Bacon. . . . The ttansoendent strength of Bacon's mind Is viidble
In the whole tenor of these Essays, unequal as they must be
fVom the very nature of each compositions. They are deeper and
more discriminating than any earlier, or almost any later, work
in the English language; ftlU of recondite observstions, long ma-
tured, and carefully slfled. . . . Pew books are morv quoted, and.
what is not always the case wltti sndi books, we may add, thai
tgm are more geneiaUy read. In this respect they lead the van of
our prose literature; for no gentleman is ashamed of owning that
he has not read the Elliabetfaan writer*; but It would be some-
what derogatory to a man of the slightest claim to polite lettera,
were he unacquainted with the Essays of Bacon."~^aUBm'> hf
troiuc to the IM. qf Europe.

"The virtue of these Esoays is too well allowed to require any
comment Without the elegance of Addison, or the charming
egotism of Montaigne, they have acquired the widest rlrrulatlon;
and if Bacon had written no more, they would have bequeathed
his name undying to posterity. Bnrke preferred them to the reat
of his writings, and Dr. Johnson obeerved, that ' their exedlenea
and valne consists in their being the observations ofa strong mind
operating upon life, and, in consequence, you will find there what

About the 28th year of his age. Bacon formed the first
•ketch of the great work which he designed oompleting in
Us " Inslaantion of the Sciences." This sketch he enti-
tled 7eau>oni« Partwt tfaximtu; The Oreatest Birth of
Time. In writing, towards the close of his life, to Father
Fnlgentio, a learned Italian, who had aeked of him an ao-
•oont of his works, be remarks,

The Treatise on uie Advancement of Learning, which
WM tiie germ of the De Augmentia Scientiantm, (pub. 1623,)
waa published in 1805.

■■In this. Indeed, the whole of the Baconian pfailoaophy may be

hare been considered as a masterpiece of wit and learning, but
which adds little to the ihme of Bacon."— T. B. Mao\uut.

In this work, he applies morally or politically

•• Most of the Cibles of the Greek Mythology, sometimes display-
ing remarkable aeutenese and penetration; at other tlmee an ez-
uharanea of feney which amuses lather than Instructs.'*

Norum Organnm, 1820. This work was immediately
honoored by " the warmest expressions of admiration l>om
the ablest men of Europe."

"The greatest of all his works, and the central pile of that edi-
fies of phUoaophy on which the world bss bestowed his name.
The KoTum Organnm was received with unbounded applauee of
the learned, both In his own and foreign nations, aod placed the
frsae of its author at once aboro that of every other living snthor,"

This work was valued by Bacon above all his other
writings; twelve times waa it raviaed, altered, and oor-
netad. year by year, before publication. This ambitions
title, in which the author enters the lists with the ancient
" Orgaoon," the logical text-book of Aristotle, shows the
eonfidenoe which the modem philosopher entertained in
the value of his improvementa in the art of reasoning.
This prodoetion is to be aeeopted aa the second part of
the Instaoratio Magna, which he tells us waa to be " the
■eienee of a better and more perfect use of reason in the
investigation of things, and of the true aids to the nnder-
(tanding ,-" in other words, an exposition of the indnctire
method; what we now term the Baconian philosophy.
The Novannm Organnm by no means anawera the ex-
piumiiil deaign of the author. We mean that he has not
ailed his own aketeh.

"The aphorisms Into wUeb he has digeated It behig lather the
beads or tluees of daiiters. at least In many places, that would
have been fltrther expanded. And It Is still more Important to
observe that be did not achieve the whole of this summary that be
had promised ; but out of nine divisions of bis method, we only
liussiw the Unit, which he denominates pnerairitlva. Eight others,
of exoeedlBg importance to logic he lias not touched at all, except
to deacribe them by name, and to promise more. ... His termino-
logy is often a little afiseted. and. In IjtUn, rather barbarous. The
dlvislaas of his prerogative Instances In the Novum Organum, are
not always founded upon Intelligible distinctions. And the gene-
nl obeeurlty of the style, neither himself nor bis aasistanta Mng
nod masters of tlie I«tln language, which, at the beet, is never
6exlM«^ or copious enough Ibr our pbiioaophy, renders the perusal
of both bis great works too laborious for the Impatient reader.
Braeker has well observed that the Novum Organum has been ne-
glected by the generality, and proved of &r leas eervioe than It
would otherwise have been in philosophy, in consequence of theee
vary defects, aa well as the real depth of the author's mind." —

BALJLUi.

To the celebrated Sir Henry Wotton the author sent
three copiea of this book, which gift waa rewarded by a
very laudatory letter from thia famoua atateaman, diplo-
matist, and aathor. The Novum Organnm has received
the eommendatioiu of very eminent authorities, both in
the aothor'a own time, and in erery snooesaive generation.
Like all prodnetions of geniua, it likewiae elicited aome

To such hypercriticism, the author's faithful fl-iend in

thua adverts, when he declares that the Novum Organnm,

'* Though by the moat of superficial men who cannot get be-
yond the title of Nomluala, It Is not penetrated or understood. It
really openeth all defects of learning whatsoever, and Is a book

* Qui longum noto acriptori profsgat avum.

* To latest time shall band the author's name.' "
Horhof, in hia Polyhiator, commends thia work in the

higheat terms, remarking that he

" Had found but very little In the books sinee written by EngUSb-
men, the grounds of wbkb ho had not long before met with in
Bacon ; the extent of his genius struck him with admiratton, as
It must do every man who takes the pains to understand him;
because, though this new knowledge of hli be very difllcult, and
requires much study and sppllcatkni to master it, yet it leads to
the knowledge of thlnKs, and not of words."

Voltaire is not behind in commendation 1

** The most singular and the best of all his pluces Is that which
Is most useless and least read, I mean his Novum Meotiarum
Organum ; this Is the ecaflbld with which the new Philosophy was
raised, and when the edifice was built, part of it, st least tlie sea^
fold, was no longer of service. The Lord Bacon was not yet ac-

Let us quote the opinions of a few modem writera ;

** Though he posaeased. In a most eminent degree, the genius of
phiioeophy, he did not unite with It the genius of the edenees;
the methods proposed by him for tlie investigation of trutli, oon-
ristlng entire^ of precepts which he was unable to exemplify, had
little or no effect In aooelerating the rate of discovery." — OoMOOa-
CIT : >n Dutald Seward P)ii. DUt. la JSncyc. Brit.

" The merits of Bacon, as the fiitber of Experimental Phtlcsophy,
are so onlverially acknowledged, tllat it would be superfluous to
touch upon them here. The lights which lie has struck out In
various branches of the PhlkMOphy of Mind have been mnch lass
attended to. . . In the extent and accuracy of his jpAjrsiooi know^
ledge, he was flu* Inferior to many of his predeceison ; but he sur*
pawed them all In his knowledge of the laws, the reeources, and
the limits of the human undentanding."— Dooald Btzwakt, i'M.

" Without any disparagement to the admimble treatise De Ang-
mentis, we must say, that. In our judgment. Bacon's greatest |Hr-
formance la the first book of the Novum Organum. All the pecu-
liarttlee of his extraordinary mind are found there In the higheat
iwrfectlon. Many of the aphorisms, but particularly those in
which lie gives examples of the Influence of the Idtda, show a
nicety of observation that has never been surpassed. Every part
of the book biases with wit, but with wit which Is employed only
to Illustrate and decorate truth. No book ever made so great a
revolution in the mode of thinking, overthrew so many pr^udioea.
Introduced so many new opinions."— T. B. Hacauut : the reader
should peruse and refwruse this admirable article.

The De Augmentis gcientiarum, a translation of the
Advancement of Learning, revised and enlarged, (see a*(e,)
waa published in 1623. The Biblical Simile of King
James has been imputed to thia, aa well ai the preceding,

Among his principal works may also be reckoned tha

" The Moond part of tha Instauratio wu to be, as he expreSMS
It, ' the aeienoe of a better and more perfect use of reason in the
investigation of things, and of the true aids of the understanding,'
the new logic or InduetlTe method In which what is emlnenuj
sfyled the Baconian philosophy consists. This, as bras he completed
It, Is known to all b J the name of the Novum Orsanunk. But he
seems to have designed a fuller treatise in place of this ; - the apho-
risms into which he has digested It being rather the luads or
theses of chapters, at least in many places, that would have been
Ihrther expanded. It Is entitled by himself Partis secnnda sum-
ma, digesta in aiAorlsmoa." See preceding remarks.

** Ttia third pan<^ the Instauratio Magna was to comprise an en-
tire natural history, diligently and scrupulously o(41eeted from
experience of every kind; including under that name of natural
history every thing wherein the art of man has been employed on
natuial substances, either for practice or experiment; no method
of reasoning being sufficient to guide us to ta-uth as to natural
things, if they are not themselves dearly and exactly apprehended.
It is unnaeossary to observe that very Uttle of this immense chart
of nature could be traced by the hand of Bsoon, or In bis time.
His Centuries of Natnral History, containing about one thousand
observed ikcts and experiments, are a very slender contribution
towards such a description of universal nature as he contem-
plated: these form no part of the Instaoratlo Msgna, and had
oeen compiled before. . . .

" The fourth part, called Seals InteUectOs, is also wanting, with
the exception of a very few Introductory pages. ' By these tables,'
says Bacon, ' we mean not such examples as we snl^oin to tha
severml rules of our method, bat types and models, which place
before oar eyes the entire progress of the mind In the discovery
<tf truth, selecting various and remarkable instances.' . . .

" In the fifth put of the Instauratio Magna. Bacon had designed
to give a specimen of the new philosophy which he hoped to raise
after a due use of his natural history and inductive method, by
way of anticipation or sample of the whole. He calls it Prodroml,
slve Antidpatlones Philosophlra Secundie. And some fragments
of this part are published by the names Cogltata et Visa, Co>ritar
tlones de Natum Rerum, Fllum L«byrinthi, and a few more, being
as much. In all probability, as he had reduced to writing. In his
own metaphor, It was to be like the payment of Interest till the
prindpal could ha raised; tanqnam feenus reddatur, donee won

** For be despaired of ever completing the work hj a sixth and
last portion, which was to display a perfect system of philosophy,
deduced and eonfirmed l^ a legitimate, sober, and exact inquiry,
aeeording to the method whlrh he had invented and laid down.

** *To perfect this last part is above our powers, and beyond our
hopes. We may, as we trust, make no despicable befrlnnlngs ; the
destinies of the human race must complete It ; In such a manner,
perhaps, as men looking only at the present would not readfly
eoneeive. For upon this vrlll depend not only a speculative good,
but all the tbrtunes of mankind, and all their power.* And with
an eloquent prayer that his exertions may be rendered effectual to
the attainment of truth and happiness, this Introductory chapter
of the Instsuratlo, which announces the distribution of Its por-
tions, concludes. Such was the temple, of which Bnron ssw in
TisloD before him ttie stately fkvntand decorated pediments, in all
their breadth ot light and harmony of proportion, while long
Ttstas of reoeding oMumns and gllmpees of Internal splendour re-
vealed a glotr Uiatlt was not permitted him to comprehend. Tn
the treatise De Angmentls Sdentiamm, and In the Novum Orga-
num, we have less, no doubt, than Lord Bacon, under different
eODdltlons of life, might have achieved ; he might bare been more
MDpbatleally the high-prlost of nature, if be had not been the
Chaneellor of James I.; bnt no one man could have filled up the
vast outline which he alone, in that stage of the world, oonld have
so boldly sketohed.'*

It is proper to refer to Bacon's celebrated dmBion of
Hnmab Learning, into the three branches of — 1. History;
2. Poetry; and 3. Philosophy; (vide De Augmentis Sci-
entiamm, lib. L,) connected with — 1. Memory; 2. Ima-
gination; and 3. Reason. Bacon's Intellectual Chart has
been corrected and Improved by his ingenious disciple,
D'Alembert. The subject is a tempting; one for enlarge-
ment, bnt we have already far exceeded onr Intended
limits, and must refer onr reader for ioformatioD on this
and other topics connected with the Baconian philosophy
to the Ist and 3d Prel. Diss, to the Encyc. BriL The
names of Stewart and Playfair afford a sufficient guaran-
tee for instruction and entertainmenL

Having thus reviewed at some length the principal
works of Lord Baoon, perhaps a fitting conclusion to onr
sketch will be a citation of some opinions, in addition to
those we have presented, respecting an author who has
been not extravagantly landwl as Sie ^* Glory and orna-
ment of bis age and nation :"

«« Though there was bred in Mr. Baeon so earty a dislike of the
Physiology of Aristotle, yet he did not despise him with that

Eride smonauKhtlnees with which youth Is wont to be puffed up.
[• had a JttsI esteem of that great master of learning, greater
than that whkh Aristotle expressed himself towards the philoso-
phers that went beflbre him ; for he endeavoured (some say) to stifle
all their labours, designing to himself an universal monarchy
over opinions, as his patron Alexander did over men. Our hero
owned what was excellent In him, but In his Inquiries into nature
be proceeded not upon his prindples. He bef^n the work anew,
and laid the foundation of pbllbsophfc theory In numerous expe-
ilments.^— Aboubiboop Tsiiiaoif : BaeonUi.

George Sandys, the poet and traveller, in bis learned
notes on his version of Ovid's Metamorphoses, acknow-
ledges himself to be much beholden to the Be Sapientia
Veterum, and styles the writer the " crown of all modetn
authors."

" This plan as laid down by him looks liker an universal art than
a distinct logic and the dwign is too great, and the Induction too
large to be made by one man, or any society of men In one age. If at
sll practicable. For whatever opinion he might have of the con-
clusiveness of this way, one cross drenmstance In an experlnMnt
would as easily overthrow his induction, as an ambiguous word
would dlsMder a syllogism ; and a man needs only make a trial in
any part of aatunl history, as left us by my Lord Bacon, to see bow
conclusive his lndneth>n was like to have been. To say nothbig.
that notwithstanding his blaming the common logics, as being too
much spent In words, hlmsdf runs into the feult be condemns : fbr

Mr. T. B. Macaulay has a criticism npon the Baconian
terminology somewhat of the same character as Mr. Baker's,
which he thus hnmoronsly phrases :

^*We are not inclined to ascribe mndi praetlea] valne to the
analysis of the inductive method which Bacon has given In iho
second book of the Novum Organnm. It Is indeed an elaborate
and correct analysis. But It Is an analysis of that which we are
all doing fhmi morning to night, and which we continue to do even
In our drearaa A plsln man tinds his stomach oat of order. Ho
never heard Lord Bacon's name. [Ha must, indt^ be a " plsln
mftiu" like Jacob, "dwelling in truts,'* never to have A^an/ of Lord
Bacon.] Bnt he proceeds in the strictest oonibnnl^ with the rules
laid down In the second book of the Novum Organom, and sstla-
fies himself that minced pies hsve done the mischief *I atomlneed
pies on Monday and Wednesday, and I was kept awake by Indi-
gestion sU night.* This is the oomparmtfa ad mtoUeetest imatum-
Uarum etmvenuntem. * I did not eat any on Tuesday and Friday,
and I was quite wdL' This Is the eomparentia ^utantiarum tn
proximo quas nalura data pritfantvr. ' I ate very sparingly of thctn
cm Sunday, and was very slightly indisposed In tlue evening. But
on Cbrlstma»<lay I slmost dined on them, and was so ill that I was
In some danger.' This is the enmpamitia itutantiarum ifcundtim
magii H sutnu*. 'It cannot have been the brandy which I took
with them ; for I have drunk brandy dally for yean without bring
the worse for It' This Is the rtjtGtio fafuarum. Our Invalid then
proceeds to what Is termed by Baoon the Vlndemlatis, and pro-
nounces that minced pies do not sgree with him. We might go
on to wtiat are called by Bacon prarrogativa iiuUmtiarvm. ¥ar
example : ' It must be something peculiar to minced pies, for I can
eat any other pastry without the feast bad effect.' This Is the m*
stantia aalitaria. We might easily proceed, bnt we have abvady
sufficiently explained our meaning.'*^

Kow this is all very amusing, but whether it have anj
other merits we leave it to the reader to decide. We contend
that this devotee to minced pies argues more like a philoeo-
pfaer who bad profited by the inductive mode, (althongh
perhaps ignorant of its terminology,) than " plain men who
have never heard of Lord Bacon" are apt to reason. Fur-
ther, it is not indispensable to a ''plain man's" profiting by
the Baeonian system, that he should have heard of Lord
Bacon. It is with philosophy as with the light of the sun —
thousands enjoy ite advantages where one understenda its
nature. The question is whether the reveller in minced
pies in the 19th century, be not more favourably situated
for the correction of undue indulgence, than was his brother
epicure of the 16th century. Or whether a man who was
put to bed by minced pies under the Organon of Aristotle,
would not suffer a daily repetition of the offence and pen-
alty, instead of reasoning and abjuring, as does Mr. Ma-
canlay's invalid, under the brighter dispensation of the
Organon of Baoon« Besides, the whole businevs of life is
not to luxuriate in minced pies : the Mart, the Forum, the
Altar, and the Camp, all have their duties and their codes,
which, if based npon reason, may be perfected by indue-
tion ; and unless Mr. Macaulay indited his able essay about
Christmas- time, for the January number of the Edinburgh,
we cannot conceive bow he happened to select so odd an
illustration of the ttutantiantm cotirratenfcm. Bnt to be
serious : we happen to remember a passage of Mr. HaUam's,
bearing npon such objections as those advanced by Mr.
Baker and Mr. Macaulay ; whether meant for these gen-
tlemen or not, we have no means of knowing, but his reflec-
tions could not be more to the purpose :

''Those who object to the Imporiance of Lord Bscon's preeepte

Cowley, in hia Pindaric on the Royal Society, lands the
"mirfaty discoveries of the great Lord Bacon."

"lletiilnks." says Bishop flpmt In hU History of the Roysl So-
dsfy, ** lathis one man I do at ones find enough occasion to ad-
mfas the strength of human wit, and to bewail the weakness of a
mortal eondltlon; for is It not wonderfbl, that he who had ran
fhfOB^ an the ihniess of that proAaslon wbkb nsnally takee up

men's whole time, who had stndled. and piactiaed, and gorsfned

rate themselves for thU very purpoee f He was a man of strong,
dear, powerful imsglnatkin; his genius was searching and iu-
vlncIbM, and of this I need give no other proof than hie style it-
self; which, as, for tbe most part. It deecrioos men's minds as well
as pictures do thdr bodies, so it did bis above all men living; the
course ot It vigorous and majestic ; tbe wit, bold and fomllw; tbe
corapariRons, fetched out of the wav, and yet the most ea^; In
all, expresRlng a soul equally skilled In men and natnre."

" The Incouiparable Mr. Boyle speaks often of our author In bis
works and always with honour; he styles blm sometimes an 11-
lustiious, at others, an sdmirable and excellent, Pbllosopber, and,
which Is a hlp:her commendation than any phrase could have ex-
pressed, he often Imitates him, and professes a desire of treading
in his paths. Dr. Power, one of tlM nuet sctire and Judicious
among the first members of the Royal Sodety, in a learned treatise
of his, places at tbe head of his chapters the Latin text ftom the
Lord Verolam's works, to shew that all the honour he had claimed
was to have prosecuted hlB views."

" No trivial passages, [referring to tbe Life of Henry YII..] sneh
ss are below the notice of a statesman, are mixed with his sage
remarks; nor Is any thing of weight or moment slubbered over
with that careless hsste and Indtlferency which Is too common In
other writers. No allowances ars given to the author's own oon-
jectun or invention, where a little pains and eonsidmmtlou will
servo to set tbe matter in Its pn^wr and true light. No imperti-
nent digressions, nor fendftil oonmMnts distract his rssders ; bnt
the whole Is written In such a grave and uniform sfyle, as be-
comes both the subject and the arttflosr."— BUBW Nionaok;

On the other hand, Catherine MaoauUy objects to the
portraiture of Henry VII., aa we have seen, and prefaoei
Iter dissent with some Tory severe atrictnrea on the author :

"Thns Ignomlttioas was the fkU of the famous Baeon I despica-
ble In all the active parts of life, and only glorious In tbe con-
templative. Blm the rays of knowledge served bnt to embellish,
not enlighten ; and philosophy Itself was degraded by a oonjnne-
tlon with his mean soul : we ars told that he often lamented that
ambition and vain glory had diverted him from ipendtng his
whole time In the manner worthy of his extensive genius; but
there is too much reason to believe, fVom his oondnct, that these
sentiments arose fVom the weight of his mortlfleatloos, and not
from the conviction of his Judgment. Ho preferred mean applica-
tions to James, and continued to flattn- htm so for, as to paint his
grandfother, Henry the Seventh, in an amiable llghf*— iftsfory
qf Bn^amd^ vol. L

Knshworth remarks, that

^ His decrees were generally made with so much equity, that,
though gifts randered him suspected for Injustice, yet never any
decree nude by him was reversed as unjost," — CnOecKoni, vol. L

The Cbanoellor made an earnest defence, both when first
aconsed and after sentence. When first sospected, he con-
fidently deolarea hia innocence in a letter to Buckinrbam:

" Tour Lordship spoke of Purgatory. I am now In IL But my
mind Is In a calm ; for my fortune Is my felldty, I know I have
clean hands and a clean heart; and, I hope, a dean house for
firlends or servants. But Job himself or whosoever was tbe Jnst-
est Judge, by such hunting for matters against him, as hath been
used against me, may for a time seem foul, especially In a time
when greatness Is the mark, and accusation is the game."

This indignant defence compares strangely with hia
after confession, and with his letter to the Lords before
hia formal and detailed acknowledgment He remarks,
that nnderstanding some justification waa expected fh>ra
him, he had

"Choaen one only Just Iflcatlou Instead of all others; for after
the clear submission and confesdon which be should then make
to their Lordships, he hoped he might say, and Justify with Job
in these words, I have not hid my sin as did Adam, nor wo."
eealed my foult in my bosom."

Not only ao, bat when he resigned the seals, be aoeom*
panied the act with Uie pathetic exclamation : " Rex dedit,
culpa abstolit!" that is, '*The King gftre, and my own
fhnlta bare taken away 1"

Yet Mr. Montagu, with charming wa^wtiy asks ns to be-
Here that Bacon was innocent; that he could have proved
his entire innocence ; bat was generoaaly willing to sacri-
fice himself at the command of the King and the favourite.
Like the Roman of old, be determined to close the " great
golf fixed" between the throne and the Parliament, by
•elf-immolation. Mr. Montagu is erare; therefore, we pre-
anme, serious. We have seen Uiat he defends Bacon's
prosecution of Essex by that rule of legal morality which
makes the advocate abjure every consideration which may
interfere with his official eharacter. He now makes Baeon
ntter the grossest falsehoods, and expose himself to the
merited condemnation of tbe world for judicial comxp-
tion, in order to gratify his King and please the King's
laroorite. First, be aacrifioea bis friend to his court brief,
and then immolates himself to hia King's whim. Verily,

Lord Cavendish, afterwards Earl of Devonshire, received
a letter ih>iii Italy, in whioh it was stated that

** Lord Bacon was more and more known, and his Iwoks more
and more delighted In; so that those nun who had men than
ordinary knowudge In haman aSalrs, esteemed him one of the
most capable splrltB cf that age."

H. Voiture writes :

" I Und every thine nsrfeetly fine that yon have ssnt me of Ba.

man t And would not Juranal say, with greater reason than sver,
• Nunc totus Oiaiss ncstiaaqne habet orbls Athsnas V "

This compliment of M. Voiture will perhaps recall to
lome of our readers the epigram with whioh the learned
Orotins honoured John Barclay's classical erudition : it
will he found under his portrait prefixed to the " Argenia:"
" ' Qente Caledonius, Oallus natallbus, hie est
Romam Romano qui docet ore loqui.'
' A Scot by blood— and Frsnch by birth— this man
At Homo speaks Latin as no Roman can.' "

Orotius speaks most favourably also of Bacon's Life of
Henry VIL, and the learned Conringius folly agrees with
this opinion. '

Baron Pufiisudorf oommends him in the most exalted
terms:

" The late most wise Chancellor of England was the chief writer
of our sge, and carried as It were the standard that we might press
ftirward, and make greater discoveries In Philosophic matters, than
any of which hitherto our schools had rung. 80 that if In our
time any great improvements have been made in Philosophy,
there has been not a little owing to that great man." — ^'sci'sisa
C^ntrveerf ., cap. L

PnOendorfs representation of Baoon as a "standard-
bearer," instantly reminds us of the philosopher's own mo-
dest and iMantifnl oomparison. In a letter to the Earl of
Salisbury, he remarks that in his book be was " contented
to awake tietter spirits, being himself like a bell-ringer,
who is first np to oall others to church." To carry on the
eoclesiastical simile, as Aristotle has Iwen called the Pope
of Philosophy until " a greater arose in his place," we may
Oompare Bacon, not to toe bell-ringer in the steeple, but to
the Luther in the pulpit, who questioned bis infallibility,
and struck a fatal blow at the supremacy of that sohool
wbieh " made nothing perfect," though tha bringing in of
a better system did.

Fraaeis Bnddens styles Bacon a

" New light in Philosophy, one who first united speculation and
nraetlce, and opened a passsge to those mighty discoveries that have
been made since his time." — Comftmiium Hutarim Phdotopfuaa.

Voltaire calls him

" The flUher of experlnuntal philosophy, owning that wliat sur*
pissd him most was to find the Doctrine of Attraction, which
Is looked upon to be the fcundatlon of another philosophy, ez-
fnssly set down In Lord Bacon's, In words not to be contivverted

DO Addison :

"His nlnelpal fiinlt ssems to have been the excees cf that vir-
tue which covers a multitude of firalta. This betrayed him to so
grsat an Indulgence towards his servants, who madea cormpt use
of It, tliat It strlppsd him of all those riches and bononre which a
loiig series at msrits had heaped upon him." — llillir. No. W.

This is indeed a specimen of tnavittr m modo. But
Wilson, " who is aeknowlsdged not to have been prejudiced
against the obaneellor," speaks in a very different strain :

" Be was the true emblem of human ftatlty, being more than
a man In some things, and less ttaaa a wcmaa In others. IIU

Kntus, and beloved fbr the oourteonsness and homanity of his
havkmr. lis was the great omament of his sge and nation ;
and nought was wanting to render him the omament of human
nature Itself; but that s^ngth of mind which might dieck ills in-
temperate desire of prefinment, that could add nothing to bis dig-
nity, and restrain his profVise Inclination to expense, that could \t
requisite neither for nls honour nor entertainment.'' — HigtorTf qf
Ortat Britain.

" The great glory of literature in this Island, during tlie rrign
of Jsmes, was my Lord Bacon. Host of his perfbnuanoes were
composed In Isitin ; though he possessed neither the elegance of
tliat, nor of Us natfre tongue. If we consider the variety of
talents dlsfdaysd by this man — as a pnblic speaker, a man of
business, a wit, a courtier, a oompanlon, anautlior,apUlosophsr —
he is Justly the olOeet of great admiration. If we considor him
merely ss an author and pliUosoplier, tlie light In which we view
him at preeent, though very estimable, he was yet inferior to his
contemporary, Galileo, perhaps even to Kepler. Bacon pointed
out at a distance the road to true philosophy : Oalileo both pointed
it out to others, and made himself consideiable advances fai it." —
Ihid.

Upon which we have in the British Biography :

"Oalileo was undoubtedly an Hlostrions man, and Kepler an
admirable astronomer : but though we admit their superiori^ In
astronomy, mechanics, and some particular blanches of phyriea]
knowledge, It does by no means fiillow that either of tliem were
greater phllosonhen than Bscon. The piaiae of Bacon is Ibnnded
not npon his sfcfll in this or tliat psrtlenlar branch of knowledge,
but on his great and comprehensive understanding, which toek
in almost the whi^e extent of universal idenee. And he wss so
little Indebted to the partiality of his oonntrymen, that his writ-
ings appear, fbr some nme at least, to havs been more esteemed
and admired In fbrelgn eonntrlee tlian In Ifingland."

His eminent Frenoh disciple, D'Alembert, by whosa
means his writings were more widely introduced to the
Frenoh than they had been previously, cannot solBeiently
commend our author ;

** On considering attentively tiw sound, Intelligent, and extaD-
sive views of this great man, the multiplicity of oUeets his plere.
tng wit had comprehended within Its sphere, the eleTation of his
style, that everywhere makes the boldest images to ooaleeoe with
the most vigorous precision, we should be tempted to eetesfn him
as the greatest, the most univerMl, and the moat eloquent of phi-
loeophers. His works are Justly valued, perhaps more valued
than known, and, therefbre, more deserving of our study than
euloglum." — An, Rrg,^ vol. xvl. ; sec the whole of this srtlde.

We consider Hr. Hume to be snlBcicntly punished. H*
was the last man to weigh Bacon, who has displayed ao
little of the spirit of the true philosopher himself. Hia
theory of evidence would never have been allowed to ex-
pose his folly to the world, had he understood even tba
(^NtjKirenfta ad inlellecfum inttantiamm eonvenientewl^
Bacon's genius was Indeed eomprvbenaiTe. Sir John
Hawkins states that

** Lord Bacon. In his natural history, has given a great variety
of experiments touching music, that show him to have iieen not
barely a phlioowher, an enquirer Into the phenomena of sound,
but a msster of^ tlie eclenoe of harmony, and very Intimateiy a»
quainted with the precepts of musical composittou."

Sir John quotes the following remark of Lord Baoon
as aproof of hia knowledge of die sciences :

" The sweetest and beat harmony is when every part or Instro-
ment is not heard by Itself, but a conflation of them all; whleh
reqnlreth to stand some distance off; even ss It Is In the mixture
of perfUraes, or the taking the smells of several flower* In the
air." — Bittmyof Mutie. The above anthorltlea, quoted ftron the
BkjrraphU Britannlea, should be read at length.

His chaplain tells ns that onr great philosopher panned
the true plan of acquiring general knowledge ; " He would
light his toroh at every man's candles." We have refeired
to the graphic picture which Osbora gives us of his poa-
(liag Lord Ifiddleaaz at the eouneil-table by his minnto
knowledge of mannfoetores and the rules of trade. Oa-
bom Auruier tolls ns :

" I have heard blm entertain a country lord In Um praper tsnna
relating to hawks and dogs; and at another time ouvcant a Lost-
don dmnrgeon."

Pope refers to the preeislon of Bacon's language:
" Words that wise Baoon or gmve Raleigh spake."

An English dictionary, Hr. Beward remarks, might be
composed from his works; but this compliment is very in-
definite, and not one, we think, which Baoon would hskwe
ooveted. Dugald Stewart remarks, in reference to Baeon'a
deaign of classifying the multifarious Directs of human
I knowledge:

AiWr this " cloud of witnesses" to the surpassing morits
of our great philosopher, let us revert to the opinions of
•ome of his contemporaries. " The Qaeen did acknow-
Mi^" imys the Earl of Essex in a letter to Bacon himselif,
"yon haul a great wit, and an excellent gift of speech, and
mnch other good learning. Bnt in law, she rather thought
yon ootild make shew to the utmost of your knowledge,
than that you were deep."

" If tt be asked, says Dr. Hurd, how the Queen came to fbrm
tUa eondualon, tbe answer Is plain. It was from Mr. Bacon's
having a great wit, an exoellent gift of speech, and much other
good taaming.'* — Surtt DkUogvef.

Bnt Mr. Stewart opposes to Queen Ellxabeth's judgment
on the law item that of Hr. Hargrave :

** Wlkat might we not have expected ttom the bands of such a
laastnr. If bis vast mind bad not so embraced within its compass
tfae whole field ct srlence, as veiy mnch to detach him from pn^
fcsstnnal stadiesl'' _

Of the exact sciences. Bacon was by no means a master;
ha neitber knew, nor eared to know, much of the Hathe-
matiea. He nnderrated the value of this instrumentality,
undoubtedly. Hobbes was an intimate of Bacon, and, we
prcaume, supplied Aubrey with the pleasing information he
eommunicatm, that, " in short, all that were gnat and good
loTod and honoured him."

Let us not forget the oommendation of our great favonr-

It is no little satUfaetion to obserre that the melancholy
tail of this great man seems to have exoited bnt little at-
lantion in foreign oonntries : where known, donbtlesi in
naay eases it wu attributed to politieal pr^ndices, or the
^bets of that eary and malignity which, as Baoon him-
self phrase* it, makes " greatness the mark, and accosa-
tioa the game."

Bayle, one of tiM moet inqnigitiTe and gossiping of

•noyelopsBdists, seems to be ignoiant of any criminal
charges against the ez-ohanoellor. His name was in high
renown on the continent, and "eminent foreigners crossed
the seas on purpose to see and discourse with bim." When
the Marquis D'Effrat, who caused his Essays to be trans-
lated into English, escorted Henrietta Maria, the Queen
of Charles L, to England, he visited Bacon, and was re-
ceived by his Lordship, who was confined to his bed by
sickness, with the cnrtains drawn : " You resemble the
angels," remarked the Harquis: "we hear those beings
constantly talked of, we believe them superior to mankind,
and we never have the consolation to see them," His
lordship replied that, " If the charity of others compared
him to an angel, his own infirmities told him he was a man."
— St€phtna's .^ccotint o/ Lord Saeon't Life. The Marquii
returned home, bearing the philosopher's picture with him,
corresponding with him ever after, and esteemed it a pe-
culiar honour to be styled, by his illustrious friend, his son.
We have referred to that memorable dinner at Yorit
House, when the Lord Chancellor, with a chosen party of
distinguished friends, "celebrated his entrance into his
sixtieth year." We shall quote Ben Jonson's poem (a
specimen of which we have already given) on this inte-
resting, we may say august, occasion. As few of our readen
have the opportunity of seeing the lines in their original
dress, we shall retain the antiquated orthography of the
day. The form of the poem

■' Implies a very boautiftil fiction; the poet starting, as It were,
on bis entering York House, at the sight of the Genius of the
plaee perfomiing some mystery, whicli, penetrating from tlia gaiety
of bis look, affords matter for tile complimont:"

"Verily every man at his best estate is altogether
vanity !" Well was it said by the sage of old — " Call no
man happy while he lives!" Even then, on that high
festal day, the handwriting was on the wall, the decree
had gone forth — " Thy glory hath departed from thee I"
A few weeks more, and he who so proudly entertained the
chief estates of the realm on his natal day — the man whom
the king delighted to honour, the first statesman of his
court, and the most illustrious philosopher of his age —
bowed his head in agony, and in deepest humiliation ut-
tered the touching prayer : "I beseeoh your Lordships be
merciful to a broken reed t"

Let us trust that he proved that " sweet are the uses of
adversity !" That in his hour of darkness he could ex-
claim with the Royal Psalmist who also "phased through
the deep waters ;"

"Bonum mibl quia humlllastt me: nt dlscam Justlfleationsa
tussl"

That alHiction was thus profitable to him, we have good
ground for believing. In that solomn and aifeoting prayer
with which he turned unto the Lord his Clod, we have evi-
dence of unfeigned humiliation and heartfelt devotion,
Mr. Addison quotes this in the Tatler, with some most ap-
propriate prefatory remarks :

" I was Infinitely pleased to find amone the works of this exttfr
ordinary man a prayer of bis own eompoong, which, for the eleva-
tion of thought, and greatness of exprestton, seems rather the
devotion of an angel than a man. . . . In this prayer, at tbe same
time that we find him prostrating Iiimself before tlw great mercy-
seat, and troubled under ai&lctions which at that time lay heavy
upon liim, we see him supported by the sense of bis Integrity, h£l
seal, his devotion, and Ills love to mankind ; wlilcb give bbn a
much hlgber flgura In the minds of thinking men, than that great*
ness had dona from which he had flUlen. I shall beg leave to
write down the nrn-er itaeU; with the title with it, as it was found

According to Dr. Hntton, who drew his knowledge " from
some scarce books,*' he expended in twenty years' researches
some £2000, a very large sum for the time, supplied by
fome of the heads of the Universities. His proficiency in
learning was wonderfuL He is said to have been a perfect
master of the Latin, Oreek, and Hebrew, and to have added
thereto a knowledge of the Arabic tongue. He was pro-
foundly versed in metaphysics, theology, grammar, as-
tronomy, chemistry, mechanics, logic, chronology, optics,
magic, and other departments of learning. He made many
extraordinary machines, and was so noted for this skill as
to have the reputation of a magician. He has the credit
of having invented the air-pump, the camera obscura, the '
diving-bell, and gunpowder. Some passages fk'om his '
works have been cited as a proof of his having invented

Baeon is one of -a number of learned men to whom the
Tnlgar imputed the manufacture of a braxen head which
posMSsed the faculty of speech. His patron, Robert Oros- ,
■eteste. Pope Sylvester II., and Albertus Magnus, all had
the er«dit, or discredit, of having formed by magie a won- j
derful head of this character. Though indeed the latter, j
not satisfied with a head only, made a man complete, who |
" not only answered questions very readily and truly when ,
demanded," but became so loquacious as to interrupt the
studies of Thomas Aquinas ; " he was so flippant with his !
irozn tongut, that Thomas Aquinas, a reserved and con-
tamplative person, and pupil at that time to Albertus Mag-
aos, knocked the idol to pieces to stop its talking I" Me-
thinks we see onr reader smile ; perhaps be is incrednloos;
kot theee wwe very wise men, the magicians of the 12Ui
and Uth cantnries ! As to Friar Bacon's braien head, we
Ind in Roea's Biog. Diet., " an abridged version of the legend
frcm a rare tract, entitled The Farmer's Historie of Friar
Bacon, 4to, Lon., IC53. Friar Baoon, it is pretended, dis-
eorered after great stndy, that if he could soocaed in
BaUng a head of brass which should speak, and hear it
when it spoke, he might be able to surround all Bngland
with a wall of brass. By the assistance of Friar Bnngey,
and a devil, likewise called into the eonsnltation, he ae-
eomplished Ms object, but with this drawback — the head
when flnished was warranted to speak in the course of one
month, bat it was quite uncertain when ; and if they heard
it not before it had done speaking, all their labour would
be lost. After watching for tiiree weeks, fatigue got the
mastery over them, and Bacon set his man Miles to watch,
with strict injunctions to awake them if the head should
■peak. The fellow heard the head at the end of one half-
hour aay, 'Time is I' at the end of another, 'Time was I'
aad at tha end of another balf-hoor, 'Time's past I' when
down it fall with a tremendons orash, the bloekhead of a
■errant thinking that his master wonld be angry if he dis-
tarbed him for such trifles ! We cannot conclude better
than in the words of the excellent Robert Recorde — 'And
bareof eame it that fryer Bakon was aecompted so greate
a aegromaneier, whioh never used that arte, (by any con-
juncture that I can fynde,) but was in geometrie and other
mathamatieall sciences so experte, that he could doe by
tfaem SDche thynges as were wonderiTul in the sight of most
pao^e.' — Palk¥xtg to KnowUdgt, 4to, Lon., ISSl." A

head of literary history. We refer the reader to the Biog.
Brit., Bose's Biog, Dict>, Cunningham's Biog. History, Ac.,
and earlier aeeoonts. His writings were very numerous.
Leland complains that Bacon's MSB. were so dispersed,
that it woald be easier to collect the leaves of the Sybil
than the very names of the treatises he wrote. He gives
the titles of 30. Bale oolleoted the titles of mora than 80.

Dr. Freind considers that since the days of Archimedes
the world had seen no greater genius than Roger Bacon.
We shall institute no comparison between Roger aad his
celebrated namesake, the Lord Chancellor. In point of
erudition, Roger far surpasses the latter. Gkiard Joanoee
Tossins gives Roger no meagre praise :

"In the jear 1270 flourished In ereiy kind of learning sraong
the English, Soger Baoon, a Monk of the Frandsean order, and an
Oxford Divine, a man of such vast loamlng, that Xngland, nay
the whole world beside, had not In this mipect his equal, w Us
second ; yet either through the envy or the Iguomnee of tha age
1b which he lired, he was stigmatised as a uisglclan.'* — Dt No-

Badcock, Rev. 8aml.« 1747-1788, a diasenting
minister, toolc orders in the Chni«h of England In 1787,
when be beoame cnrate of Broau} Clyst. He was an able
contributor to The London Review, London Magazine,
6«nonJ Evening Post, St. James Chronicle, and to The
Monthly Review. In the last-named periodioal, he pub-
lished a review (June and Augnst, 1783) of Dr. Priestley's
History of the Corruptions of Christianity ; it was wittily
nmarked of this review, that no one save Dr. Priestley
would wish it to be shorter. The Doctor took his critique
■0 much to heart, that in less than a month he published
in pamphlet form A Reply to the Animadversions, Ac
in The Monthly Review for June, 1783, Ac. This was
answered in the September nnmber of the Review, The
stinclpal point at issue was the Doctrine of the Primitive
Churcn concerning the Person of Christ. This review
" was generally admitted to be a most triumphant refnt&-
tion of Dr. Priestley's opinions, as well as one of the most
elaborate specimens of criticism that modern times had
ftnnished." Another writer remarks, " Badoock continued
hi* astaolt, sparing neither the history nor &» Defence ;
and, in the view of many, demolished the system he had
assailed." He pub. some memoirs of the Wesley family,
which led to some controversy with the excellent John
Wesley. See Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, vol. v.

" Mr. Badeoek was one of tba most dlstingnlahed literary men

Mr. Nichols introdnoed Mr. Badcock to Dr. Johnson, and
the following letter from Mr. B. to Mr. N., referring to Dr.
Johnson's opinion of Priestley, is not without interest:

« How much I am obliged to you for tlie fltvour you did me In
tntrodudug me to Dr. Johnson I T^ntem vidi Virguium. But to
have seen nlm, and to have received a testimony of respect fhm
him, was enough. I ncoUaet all the conversation, and shall never
fwget one of hb sxpreaatons. Speaking of Dr. Priestley, (whose
writings, I saw, he estimated at a low rate,) be said, ' You have
proved him aadefldeut in proMy as bob In leamiiig.' I called him
an *Indvc SshoUxr;'' but ha was not willing to alW bim a claim
even to that merit. He said ' that he bonowed from those who
had been borrowera themaelvee, and did not know that the mis-
talies be adopted bad been answered by others.' I often think of
our ahort, but preclona, visit to thb great man. I ahall consider

Bagford, John, 1850 ?-1718, an enthnsiastic collector
of literary curiosities, was bred to the occupation of a
shoemaker, bnt did not acknowledge the obligation of the
old maxim, " Ne sntor ultra crepidun :" bnt even Apelles,
however, would not have desired to restrain the zeal of
this tiseful and amiable lover of aotiqnitieB. He became
extensively acquainted with old books, prints, and coioii,
and possessed no slight knowledge of the Roman remains
in Britain. Of this there is ample evidence in his curious
letter to Heame, in the 1st voL of 2d edidon of Leiand't
Collectanea. He did not oonftne his researches to tlie
book-stalla and shops of London, but travelled abroad for
book-sellers and literary gentlemen, enriching their abelvci
and libraries with his acquisitions. In this way be was a
sort of humble Dibdin to the Spensera and Hebers of hii
time. His private collection of books, title-pages, covers,
Ac. was very large. As must always be the case with a
man whose education has been picked up item by item,
without system, he sometimes displays amusing ignorance
in conjunction with his knowledge. He projected a history
of his favourite art, and, in 1707 published in the Philo-
sophical Transactions, hb " Proposals for a History of
Printing, Printers, Illnminatois, Chalcography, Paper
Making, Ac," price to be £1 for a book of 800 pages. Ue
seems to have lacked eneonragement, as the hook never
appeared. After his death. Lord Oxford purchased his
eoUeetions and papers for his libraij. They are now in
the Harieian Collection in the British Museum, in 42 folio
volumes : hot a melancholy sight a portion of tiiem pre-
sent; for, as Dibdin remarks,

" A mo<tom oolbetor and lover of perftct copies will wKnees,
with juddering, among Bagford'a immenaw collection of title-
pagea, thefVontimieces of tlie Complntenaian Polyglot, andCbauiv-
cy'a History of Hertfordshire, torn out to lUnstrate a Hlztoi7 of
PrinUng."

He was employed as a collector by Lord Oxford, Dr.
John Moore, Bishop of Ely, Sir Hans Sloane, Sir James
Austin, and others. Mr. Bagford was one of the many
ingenious men in the world whose natural talents are con-
tinually hampered for want of early education. See in-
teresting accounts of him in Dibdin's Bibliomania, in
Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, and Heame's prefaces to
Onil. Roper Vita, D. Thomas Mori, 1718, and to Walter
Hemingford's history. " At vero in hoe genera ftmgmenta
colligendi omnes qnidem alios quantum ego existimare

Sissnm facile superavit Joahcb Baofordius, de quo apud

Wigomensia Cbartnlarinm, to which reference is made

have proved a much greater man than he was. And yet, without

Bagahaw, Edward, 1004-1^62, of Brasenose ColL,
0x1, a lawyer who at first opposed the cause of Charles L,
but subeeqaently became one of his adherents, published
a Buaber of theological and political works, 1033-1662.
Whilst imprisoned by the Parliament, he wrote a treatise
which does not argue much respect for the opinion of his
Jadges, Til. : The Rights of the Crown to England, aa it is
established by Law. This be published very appropriate-
ly in ISSO — the year of the Reatoration. The earliest of
his publications was the Life and Death of Mr. Robert
Bolton, 1833. Mr. Bolton was the author of the well-
known treatise, entitled The Four Last Things. Anthony
Wood refers to his sitting in " that most wicked conren-
tion that begun at Westminster, 3 Nov., 1640. But soon
hfter, percclring ftill well what mad courses the members
ttereof took, he left them." He left two sons, Henry and
Bdward, who are next to be noticed.

Bagskaw, Edward, 1020-1071, son of the preeed-
fag, was admitted of Christ Church, Oxf., in 1046, and
otwned by the Bishop of Exeter, in 1659, It is enough
to make him memorable that he was second master of
Wertminster School, when the famous Dr. Busby was
head master. The two dominies could not agree, and
Bagshaw was displaced. For some time he was chaplain
to Arthur, Barl of Anglesey. Wood gives a long list of
writings, principally controversial, directed against Baxter,
L'Bstrangs, Horley, Bishop of Wurceator, and others.
These publications have sunk into oblivion. He appears to
hare inherited bis father's belligerent spirit, as well as his
€aitoHke& gerihendu Anthony Wood, who seems to spare
BO man in his wrath, represents young Bagshaw whilst
at college as any thing but a modest and well-behaved
joung man;

Bailey, Nathan, d. 1742, a philologist of great abili-
ties, was the author of the well-known diotionaiy which
bears his name. The 4th edition (1728) was long the only
dictionary in general nse. It was enlsirged into two vols.
8vo, 1737, and afterwards issued in folio, by Dr. Jos. Nicol
Scott The last was considered the best edition, and is
still a favourite with some students. Johnson's first edi-
tion of his dictionary was published in 1756. There is a
carious anecdote connected with Bailey's work. It was
studied through twice, word by word, by Mr. Pitt, after-
wards Earl of Chatham, the import and mode of oonstruo-
tion of each word carefblly examined, so that the strength,
the significance, and the beauty of the English language
might be properly understood, and enlisted in the servies
of oratory when required. Some of the sermons of Bar*
row, it will be remembered, were committed to memory bj
Mr. Pitt, for the same purpose. " Probably no man, since
the days of Cicero, has ever submitted to an equal amount
of drudgery." The effecte of this philological training
were witnessed in the copious vocabulary, and precision
in application, which distingnished Chatham's elocution.
Wilkes, indeed, seems to criticise his language, when he
tolls us, "he had not the correctness of language so strik-
ing in the great Roman orator, but he had the verba ar*
dentia — the bold, glowing words." But Mr. Wilkes's opi-
nion, npon any subject save the right of suffrage, and
choice of rare books, has but little weight with us. Ho-
race Walpole describes Chatham's language as having
been amasingly fine. "Not oontent," says LordLyttle-
ton, " to correct and instruct his imagination by the works
of men, he borrowed bis noblest images from the language
of inspiration."

We should not forget to acknowledge the improvement!
made in the folio edition of Bailey's dietionaiy by O. Oor-
don, who made additions to the mathemattou part, Phil.
Miller to the botanical terms, snd T. Lidiard to the etymo-
logleal portion: the whole being reviled by Dr, Scott.

Miss Baillie for the principal part of her life waa a resi-
dent of Hampstead, near London, where she died, Feb.
2.1, IS51. She always lived in retirement, and for some
years before her death in strict seclusion. While ahe re-
ceived visitors, it ia stated that nearly all the great writers
of the age had, at one time or another, been among her

fnesta. Scott apent many pleaaaot hours with her, and on
er viait to Scotland in 1806 ahe apent aome weeka in hia
house at Edinburgh. Her last viait to Scott and to Seol-
land was in 1820. See Life of Scott

Their father waa a Seottiah clergyman; their mother,
a aiater of the celebrated Dr. William Hunter ; and
Matthew Baillie, H.D., another diatingniahed phyiioiaa,
waa brother to Joanna and Agnea. Miaa Baillie'a earlieat
poetical worka appeared anonymonaly ; her first dramatie
efibrta were pnbliabed in 1798, under the tide of A Series
of Playa, in which it ia attempted to delineate the atronger
passions of the mind ; each passion being the anbject of
a tragedy and a comedy. A second edition was demanded
in a few months; in 1802, and in 1812 a third volume ap-
peared. In 1804 ahe pnbliahed a volume of HiaeelUmaooi
Dramas; and in 1810 The Family Legend, a tragedy,
made ita appearance. Thia drama, founded on a Highland
tradition, waa brought out with succeaa at the Edinburgh
theatre, under the anapioea of Sir Walter Scott

" Jan'y SO, 1810. My Dear Hiss Baillie, — Yon have only l» Ima-
gine all that yon could wlah to give success to a play, and your
conceptions will still fell short of the cooplete and decided tri*
nmpb of tbe Family I^egend. . . . Every tmng that pretended to
dlstlnetlon, whether trota rank or literature, was lu the boxes, and
In the i^t such an aggregate mass of humanity sa I have seldom,
if ever, witnessed in the same phKe."— S»K to Mia BnilUe.

" Miss Balllle's play went off capitally here. ... We wept till
our hearts were sore, and applauded till our bands were blistered :
what could we mml'— Scott to Mr. MorriU.

It waa played 14 nighta, and in 1814 waa acted ia Lon-
don. In 1836 our anthoreaa published three more volnmei
of Plays. Thus an interval of 38 years had occnrred be-
tween tbe firat and the last publication of her dramai.
In 1823 the Poetic Miecellaniea appeared, containing
Soott'a dramatie aketch of MacdulTB Cross, some of Mr*.
Heman's poetry, and Hisa Catherine Fanshaw's yeiix
(fesprtt A few months before her death, Miaa Bullie
completed an entire edition of her dramatic worka. The
Martyr had been published separately. She also pub-
lished Metrical Legends of Exalted Characters; and A
View of the general Tenor of the New Teatunent regard-
ing the Nature and Digni^ of Jeana Christ

Although ao advanced in years, Miaa Baillie retained
the complete possession of her faculties until the laat
Lord Jeffrey writea :

" April 28, 1840. I forgot to taU yon that we have been twice
out to Ilampatead to hunt out Joanna Baillie, and found her the
other day as tnmh, natural, and amiable as ever ; and as IHUe like
a Tragic Muse. Since old Mrs. Dnngham'a death, I do not know
80 nice an old woman."

Again, January 7, 1843, ha writai:

" We went to Hampataad, and paid a very pleasant visit to J»
anna BalUle, who Is marvellous In health and spirits, and youth-
ful fVoKhnesB and simplicity of feeling, and not a bit dea^ blind,
or torpid."

Tbe literaiy atraager from a diatant land sought an in-
troduction to her whoaa wrtlinga had been "honaehoM
worda" aince childhood ; and who, aeeluded flrom the biuy
world, considered herself a mother to the poor, and was
by them esteemed the "Lady Boantiful" of the neigh-
bourhood.

- " I am glad that Mrs. Ellis and you have derived any amwse
ment from the House of Aspen. . . . But the Plays of the Paa-
slons have put me entirely out of conceit with my Qermauised
brat; and shonld 1 ever again attempt dramatie composition, I
would endeavour after tbe genuine ola English modd.'' — Soalt l»
Gtotrgt JSIiitf E»Q,

In a letter to Hiss Baillie, dated 1810, Scott ramorka;

" You aay nothing about the drasaa on Fear, for which yon have
chosen so admirable a subject, and which, I think, will be la
your own most nowerftd nianner. I hope you will have an eye to
Its being actually represented. Perhaps of oil passions it la tha
most uiilveTsally Interesting."

We find the tragedy of Fear again rafened to, aftor it*
pnblioation in the volume laaued in 1812 :

'■ It ia too lltUe to aav I am enchanted with the saM third
volmne, eopedslly with the two first plays, whkth In every point

The whole character of Orra Is exquisitely supported, as well aa
tmaglBed, and the language distinguished by a rich variety of
feuCT, which 1 know no instance of. exoepUng In ^hakspeare."

"If Joanna Baillie had known the stage pnetically, she wonM
never have attached the Importance she docs to the devekvasent
of single passions In slnsle trsgsdles ; and she would have In-
vented more stining Inddents to JnsUQr the paaaton of htr chap

We vpeal to the reader whether this oritieism is not,
in ikcty jmit the fatgheet oomplimeDt which could have
been paid to Hie* BailUe'a management of her characters.
Mr, CampbeU*B eenmre really amounts to this : Miss
Baillie prefers the exhibition of human nature to catering
for stage etfect and slarisfaly following an unnatural code
and a heathen morality. Her object was not so much to
" take the house by storm," as to take the heart by truth.
" Tliat air of fatality," the absence of which Mr. Camp-
bell deplores, is the rery error to be eschewed by the
Christian teacher, whose duty it is to illustrate the truth
that man, aa a free agent, will secure happiness by the
praetiee of virtue, and reap misery as the fruit of rice.
Lore, Hatred, Fear, Beligion, Jealousy, Revenge, and
Kemorse, may each be made to enforce the truth that
" the way of the transgressor is hard," or to impress the
mind with the abiding eonriction that Wisdom's ways are
"ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace."
What does Miss Baillie set forth as her own canon ?

** Let one simple trait of the human heart, one expression of
pigriwi. genuine and tme to nature, be Introduced, and (t will
stand fbrth alone (n the boldneis of reality, whilst the Use and
unnatural around it Ades away on every side, like the rWng ex-

BailUe, Matthew, M.D., 17C1-1823, a reiy distin-
inisbed physician, was the son of the Rev. James Baillie,
D.D., and Dorothea, sister of the celebrated William and
John Hnnter: Us sister, Joanna Baillie, became as eml-
aaat in th* walks of litaratnrs as her brother in the graver
■its of medical seience. In 1779 he was admitted of

iliol College, OxC, where he took bis degree of physio
in 1789. He aqjoyed the great advantage of studying
■nder Us ancle, William Hunter. Dpon the death of the
biter, in 1783, he soeoeeded to the Lectures with Mr. Craik-
skank, and gained great popolarity by the eleamess of his
^SMousttatious, ami his power of simplifying abstmse

' subjects. Although not anccessftil for some time in obtidn-
ing much practice, his merits gradually, but sorely, forced
his way, until his fees were known to amonnt in one year
to £10,000. His quickness of perception in ascertaining
I the localities of disease made him in great request as a
consulting physician. In 1810 he was made physician to
Oeo. IIL, and a baronetcy was offered to him, but he de-
clined the honour.

"No one in his day could oompate with him in anatomical know^
ledge, or In an acquaintance with morbid anatomy, or pathology,
which of late years has been so suooessfnlly cultivated, and whkh
most in a degree be attributed to the example and renown of

portant Parts of the Human Body.

**Thls work, like evei7 thing he did, was modest and unpr^
tending, but It was not on that account the lees valued. A
perfect knowledge of his subject, acquired in the midst of the f ullpst
opportunltlea, enabled htm to compress Into a small volume more
accurate and more useful information than will be found in the
works of Bonetus, Morgagnl, and IJeutaud. Thia work cooakted
at first of a plain statement of foets, the description of the appear-
ances presented on dissection, or what could be preserved and ex-
hibited; and he afterwards added the narration of symptoms coi^
responding with the morbid appearances. This was an attempt
of greater dlflleulty. which will require the experience of sneoeaalve

Sir Walter Scott was tenderly attached to Doctor BailUe
and his sister Joanna ; on the death of the Doctor, be wrote
a most eloquent letter to the poetess, which see in Lock-
hart'g Life of Scott

" We liave. Indeed, to mourn such a man as, since medicine was
first esteemed a uset^l and honoured science, has rarely occurred
to giaee Its annals, and who will be lamented as long as any one
livea who lias experienced the advantage of his profendonal skill,
and the alfectionate kindness fey whira it waa accompanied."

" We cannot estimate too highly ths Influence of Dr. Balllie's
character on tho profession to which he belonged. I ought not,
perhapa, to mention bis mild virtues and domestic charities; yet
the recoUeetlon of these must give s deeper tone to our regret and

of oonsiderable note, and Principal of the University of

and several were pub. after his death. The best-known
of the latter is his Letters and Journals, containing an
Impartial Account of Public Transactions, Civil, Ecclesi-

Baker, Sir Bichard, 1568?-1645, the grandson of
Sir John Baker, chancellor of the exchequer to Henry VtH.,
was born at Sisstngherst, in Kent. In 1584 he was en-
tered as commoner at Hart Hall in Oxford, where he re-
mained for three years. In IMS be was knighted by King
James I. He married a daughter of Sir George Mainwar-
ing of IghtSeld, in Shropshire ; and becoming surety for
the obligations of some members of this family, he was
stripped of his property, and thrown into the Fleet prison,
where he remained until his death.

He turned author in the hope of soothing his sorrows,
profltebly employing his time, and providing for his ne-
cessities. His earliest work bears date 1636, when the
author was 67 or 68 years of age. It is entitled Cato Va-
riegatns, or Cato's Moral Distiches varied. This is a poem.
In addition to his '* Chronicle," of which we shall speak
presently, he published a number of other works, the prin-
cipal of which are : Meditations and Disquisitions on the
Lord's Prayer, 1637. This attained its 4th edition in 1640.
Sir Henry Wotton, his quondam fellow-student, examined
Uiis work in MS., and spoke of it in the following hand-
some manner:

" I much admire the very ehametar of your style, which seemeth
to me to have not a little of the Afiriean idea of 8. Austin's Age;
iUl of sweet raptuiea, and of researching ooneetts; nothing W-
rowed, nothing vnlgar, and yet all flowing trtm yon (I know not
how) with a certain equal fecIUty."

Meditations and Disquisitions on Hm three last Fsalma
of David, 1639. On the 50th Psalm ; the 7 Pcnitantial
Psalms ; the first Psalm ; the seven Consolatory Psalms,
1639-1640. Med. and Prayers on the 7 days of the week,
1640. Apology for Laymen's writing Divinity, 1641.
Theatmm Redivivnm, in answer to Mr. Prynne's Histrio-
Mastrix, 1062. Theatmm Triumphans. The two last are
ascribed to him, though not pub. nntil after his death. It
is supposed that Archbishop Williams purchased onr au-
thor's books for £500. He made some translations from
the French and Italian.

Sir Richard is best known by the Chronicle of the Kings
of England, (1641,) which was the historical treasury of
onr ancestors infore the publication of Rapin's History,
It was repub. in 1653 and 1658. To the last edition was
added tiie reign of Charles L, with a continnation to 1668,
by Edward Phillips, nephew to Milton. A fonrth edition'
appeared in 1665, with a continuation to the coronation of
Charles II. The Aoeonnt of the Restoration was princi-
pally written by Sir Thomas Clarges, (brother-in-law of
the Duke of Albemarle,) though adopted by Phillipi.

BtkeT"* Chronicle and it< Continuation, wbtoh Anthony
Wood coDBiderod to be well deserved :

" But ao It wai, that the Aathor Baker, and kb continnator
PhllUps. having committed venr many errors, Thom. Blount pnb.
AnlmadTerslons, Ac. . . which book containing only a tpecimm of
tlw errors, It may easily be discerned what the whole Chronicle
contalneth." — Athen. Chxm,

Another ed. 1684. Another abridged, and a continua-
tion to 1726, was pab. 1730. In all, 12 editions have l>een
printed. Another in 1733, called the best edition, bnt it
lacks many carious papers contained in the early editions,
especially in the first ed., (1641.)

Thomas Blount was not the only eensurer of Bir Rich-
ard's Chronicle. Bishop Nicolson remarks that

" The author was a person of tfaoee acoompllshments in wit and
language, that Ms Chronicle has been the best read and liked of
any hitherto published ; the method la new, and seems to please
the rabble ; but learned men wUl be of anothjw opinion." — IxiUoii-
cot ZOmry, Parti.

^ It Is a very mean and J^une performance; and nowise to be
relied upon." — Biog. Brit.

"Being reduced to method, and not according to time, pur*
poeely to please gentlemen and novices, many chief things to be ob.
served therein, as name, time, Ac. are egreglouBly fklae, and con-
sequently breed a great deal of confusion In the peruser, especially
If he be cnrions or critical." — A. Woon.

In ntter contempt of the critics, edition after edition
appeared, with all the old blnndera and erroneous dates
repeated. The edition of 1730 contains corrections of
Baker's errors ; but then Phillips's continuation is oorreoted,
many public places, lists of names, Ac. being omitted, or
the substance only of them given. So we say with the
Hebrew of ancient time — " The old is better."

Bishop Kicolson complains that

" Bo little regard have we for truth. If a story be but handsomely
tdd, the chronicle has been reprinted since that time, and sells as
well as ever notwithstanding that no notice Is taken of the anl-
nadverstons, but all the old &ults remain uncorrected.**

It was a great book for the country squire's round-table ;
the companion of the Family Bible, the dog-eared, pie-
crusted Shakspeare, and Fox's Book of Martyrs. Sir
Roger de Coreriey knew and lored it, for Addison tells ng
tliat he found

'* Since I was with him In the country, he had drawn many ol>.
servations together, out of his reading In Baker's Chroulcle."-.*-
Speekaar, No. 2ag.

Bat Daines Barrington seems to think that this notice
did not benefit Baker's reputation any :

** Baker is by no means so contemptible a writer as he Is gene-
lally supposed to be ; It Is believed that the ridicule on his Chronl-
ele, arises fVom Its being part of the ftimlture of Sir Roger de
Ooverley's hall in one of the Spectators."

But who doabU that this notice by Addison has sold
many hondreds of copies since f Nay, who does not feel a
riolent desire to possess the book himself, when he is told
that the good Sir Roger thumbed its pages, and drew tmm.
them his " many observations ?"

How Dibdin can so misrepresent Anthony Wood as to
charge him impliedly with commending Baker's work, we
cannot anderstand. Anthony Wood does any thing else,
as we have jnst shown ; and as the reader will see at large
by referring to the Atben. Ozon. Dibdin likewise does
great ii^ustice to Baker in presuming that he was " a gay
and imprudent man," because he died in the Fleet prison.
Imprudence, indeed, of one description brought him into
the prison ; but not that kind of imprudence for which gay
men are generally reproached.

Baker made no secret of \U opinion as to the merits of
his Chronicle. He was not like some authors who apologiie
for writing until we wonder why they hare written, and
then deplore their many faults, until we marvel they have
not thrown their books into the fire. On the oontrary.
Sir Richard assures as that his

"Chronicle wss collected with so great care and dlliicence, that
U all other of our Chfonlcles were lost, this only would be sufll-
dent to Inform postertty of ail passages memorable or wortl^ to
be known."

Having thus kindly dispelled any fears which the world
might entertain of the consequences of a general literary
conflagration. Sir Richard goes on in the same liberal
spirit, to assure his readers that he gives them '' all pas-
lagea of State and Church;" and determined to satisfy
•very craving for information however extravagant, he
promises to record "all other observations proper for a
Chronicle." This is tolerably liberal ; but nothing is too
large for Sir Richard's charity. What entertainment did
that Ooth of a son-in-law of his keep fi-om us — that " one
Smith," as he is contemptuously denominated, and rightly
enough, — when with unhallowed hands he destroyed Sir
Richard's autobiography I

Fuller speaks of him affectionately :

" nis youth he spent In learning, the benefit whereof be reaped
In his old age, when his estate through suretyship (as I have beard
lOi

him complain] was very much Impaired. But Ck>d may mile OB

" Baker discovered a rule or method for determining the centre
of a drde, which shall cut a given parabola in as many points as
a given equation, to be constructed, has reel roots. This method
Is generalnr known as the central rule. The eential rule Is founded
on this principle of the poiabola : that If a Una he Inscribed In the
curve perpendicular to any diameter, the rectangle of the segments
of this line is equal to the rectangle of the Intercepted part of the
diameter and the paimmeter of the axis." — Roat^t Biog. Viet.

Baker, Thomas, 1656-1740, a learned antiquary,
was bom at Crook, in the parish of Lancaster, in the Bi-
shopric of Durham. In 1674 he was entered at St. John's
College, Cambridge, and in 1679 became a Follow of the
college ; in 1686 he was ordained priest by Bishop Barlow.
He accepted the post of chaplain to Crew, Bishop of Dur-
ham, who gave him, in 1687, the rectory of Long Newton.
He proved his conscientiousness by refusing to read the
declaration of indulgence of James II., and afterwards
by declining to take the oaths to the new government. In
1717, with twenty-one others, he was deprived of his fel-
lowship. After this event, he was accustomed to add to
his signature iSociu Ejeelnu, He continued to reside in
his college as a commoner-master until his death. Having
now time and opportunities for study, he devoted himself
to investigations in history, biography, and antiquities,
with a seal seldom witnessed. So extensive were his in-

ford. These form part of the Harleian MSS., (Brit Ha-

the publio library at Cambridge. Mr. Baker pnblished
but one work. Reflections on Learning, showing the insnf-
ficienoy thereof in its several particulars, in order to evince
the usefulness and necessity of Revelation, Lon., 1710.
This work went through eight editions, and was one of
the most popular books in the language. The author has
a earioas passage on philosophy, which we quote :

** Since Aristotle's philosophy has been exploded In the school^
under which we had more peace, and poeslbty aJmad at mvth frulh
as we have had since, we have net been able to fix any mete, bnt
have been wavering flnm one point to another."

Mr, Bosworth, in bis Method of Study, ranks this work
among the classics for purity of style ; bat dilfeient views
have been expressed :

" Though the style is perspleuons and manly, it can scaroely he
applauded as rising to any degree of defiance. It Is, undoubtedly.
In several respects, a work of very considerable merit"

Dr. Knight atjles him, " the greatest master of the an-
tiqnitaea of this our university." Horace Walpolo wrote a
Life of Baker (in the quarto ed. of his works) in 1778, of
which a (Head of Mr. Nichols writes to him : " I never
thought tiiat the sprightly, inquisitive Horace Walpole
could ever have written any thing of so little information
or cnrioaty."

Mr. Baker:

Baldwin, orBaldwra, William, bom in the west
of England, spent several years at Oxford in the stady of
logic and philosophy. He was subsequently a schoolmaster
and dirine. He is said to hare been one of those scholars
who fallowed printing in order to promote the Reformation.
In this last capacity he was employed by Edward Whlt-
chnreh. Bale and Pits ascribe some comedies to him ; and
it is known that he was " engaged la the reigns of Edward
VL, and Philip and Mary, if not earlier, in preparing thea-
trical entertainments for the conrL" He compiled A
Treatise of Moral PhUosophy, printed by Whitchurch,
1547-1649, and sine anno, (Bib. Anglo-Poet. £10 10s.;)

matters connected with the reputed author's history. But

Of this grand work, which *' illuminates with no common
lustre that interval of darkness which occupies the annals
of English poetry (Vom Surrey to Spenser," we had in-
tended to give an account, but to do justice to the subject
requires far more space than we can afford. It will be re-
ferred to again under the name "Snckville." Let the
reader refer to Warton's History of English Poetry,Brydges'
Censnra Literaria, and Haslewood's edition of the work,

of Dorset, has been lauded as containing

Baldwyn, Rev. Edward, author of a number of

Bale, John, 1495-1564? Bishop of Ossory, in Ire-
land, was one of the early English dramatitits, and by his
literary and other labours, a zealous promoter of the Re-
formation. He was educated at the monastery of the
Carmelites in Norwich, and from thence was sent to Jesus
College, Cambridge. The date of bis renunciation of the
Roman Catholic Chnreb cannot be certainly ascertained,
but he attributes to " the illnstrious the Lord Wentworth,
that he was stirred np to discover the glory of the Son of
fiod and his own depravity." Thia nobleman and Lord
Cromwell were his patrons ; and on the exeontion of the
latter he withdrew into Flaaden, where he ramained for
IM

eight years. In 15SS be was nominatad by King Edward
VI. to the see of Ossory. He incurred the disl&e of th«
Roman Catholics by two plays, Intended to promote the
Protestant faith, — John the Baptist, and Clod's Promisee,
— whieh were pnblidy acted on a Sunday in Kilkenny. On
the death of Edward VL he was obliged to fly for reftige
to Holland, and from thence to Basle in Switzerland.
After the death of Queen Mary he retamed to England,
but preferred a prebend in the Cathedral church of Can-
terbury, which he retained until bis death, to the resump-
tion of his former Bishoprio. Bale was a volaminoua au-
thor. His dramatic pieces were intended and ealealatod
to promote the cause of the Reformation. He tells us
(Scriptor Dlustr. M. Brit Snmm.) that he was the anther
of nineteen Miracle Plays, eleven of which represent
events in the life of our Saviour, and eight are miscella-
neoas. The titles of these plays will give some idea of
their character :

1. Or Christ, wbex be was 12 Tears old, one comedy.
2-3. Or HIS Baptisk aicd Txxptatiok, two comedies.

"Ench of these he states that he * compned,' not merely heeanee

perhaps, because be adopted portions of pleeee of the some de>

older apedmens, and even In point of languue and venlflcation
Bale boa not much the advantage of hla predeceaaota.'' — CbOier'i
Hutary of Bug. Drum. Ftxtrg.

In 1538 these plays were printed abroad is 4to. They
contain the first attempts to instmot the public mind
in the doctrines of the Reformation, by the instmmen-
tality of the stage. Bale says that the representatioa
of his plays, referred to before, at the Market Cross of
Kilkenny, in August, 1553, "was to the sm^ eonten-
tation of the prestos and other papistes there."— n« Fo-
eayoa ofJokon Bale. Dramatic entertaionents, represent-
ing the lives of saints, and scriptural stories, had long be-
fore this time lieen a favourite entertainment with iha
popnlace. The play of Saint Catherine was acted at Don-
stable about the year 1100.

Matthew Paris, about the year 1240, says that they
were such as " Miracnla Vnlgariter Appellamus," proving
their publicity. See Warton's History of English Poe-
try. This learned writer, speaking of Bale's plays, re-
marks :

" What shall we think of the state, I will not say of the stage,
but of oonunon sense, when these deploimble dramas could be en-
dnred t Of an age whan the Bible was prolkned and ridiculed
trom a principle of piety? But the ftahion of acting myatariaa
appears to have expired witb tbla writer."

A dramatic piece of Bale's, thought to be the most re-
markable of his productions, entitled De Joanne Anglo-
rum Rege, and Kynge Johan, was printed in 1888 by the
Camden Society from the author's MS., preserved in the
library of the Duke of Devonshire,

" It Is s moat slngnlar mlitui* of history and aUtffory ; the
events of the reign of John being applied to the tUnea of neniy
Till., and to the struggles between Protestantism and Popecy."

In the introduction to this impression, it is remarked
of Bale :

"He poRsosses no peculiar elatms OS a poet; and though he could
be severe as a moral censor, and violent oa a polemic, he bad little
elevation and a limited flincy ; his versification Is also scared as
good as that of some of his oontemporarles.**

Biography, first published under the title of Illustnnit
Miyoris Britannicn Soriptorum, hoc ost, Anglise, Cambria,
et Scotise, Snmmarium, Ipswich, 1549 : this edition con-

" He waa an excellent schoolman and schoolmaster, (qualities

Ballard, George, d. 1755, waa born at Campden, in
Gloucestershire. Whilst employed in the shop of a habit-
maker, he devoted his apare hours to the study of the Saxon
language. His seal for learning attracted the notice of that
excellent Saxon scholar, Mrs. Elstob. By the kindness
of the first Lord Chedwortb, ho was removed to Oxford,
and an annuity of £60 (he declined to accept £100, which
was offered to him) was allowed him. He waa appointed
one of the eight clerks of Magdalene College, and waa
subsequently chosen one of the University beadles. Ha
pursued his researches with great zeal in the Bodleian Li-
brary, and left the results in the shape of large collections
of MSS., now preserved in the same depository. His ac-
count of Campden Church waa read before the Society of

Ballenden, or Bellenden, or Balantyn, Sir, or
Dr. John, d. 1550, a Scottish poet and historian, was >
doctor of the Sorbonne at Paris. By eommand of Jamea
v., he translated Hector Bocthius's History from the Latin
into the Scottish tongue. The translation was made "with
a good deal of freedom, departing often from his author,
but generally for the sake of truth ; and sometimes, also,
adding circumstances which, perhaps, might not be known
to Hector Boece. However, his version, as he called it,
was very well received both in Scotland and England, and
soon became the standard of that History." — Biog. Brit.

He waa archdeacon of Murray, canon of Rosse, and
deik of the register. His trans, of the first five hookl of
Livy has been highly commended ;

" As a spedmon of the ancient language of Scotland aud of the
proea style of the purest of her early writers, this translation of
Llvy Is peculiarly vtiluable. In rendering the animated descriptions
of Llvy B ptctnred page, the translator evinoea all the imaglnatlaa
and vigour of a writer untrammelled by the necessity of adopting
the thoughts and iienttinents of another.**

Preacher's at Basle inspecting the Administration of the

Bancroft, George, b. 1800, in Worcester, Mass., is a
son of the Rev. Aaron Bancroft, D.D., author of a LUb of
Washington. (See anu.) He entered Harvard College at
the early age of 13, and graduated with the second honoun
of his class in 1817. In 1818 he visited Germany, where
he prosecuted his studies nnder the eminent scholars Heeien
and Sohlosssr. His original destination was the pnlpit, and
he preached several diaooursas, which produced a favourable
opinion of his talents In this department; but a love of lila-
ntnre proved the stronger attaohment. For a abort period
he held the post of Greek Tutor in Harvard College. His
llTst publicalion was a volume of Poems, (1823,) followed in
the next year by a translation of Heeres's Reflections on the
Politics of Ancient Greece. Shortly before this, in coqjune-
tion with Br. Joseph G. Cogswell, (now superintendent of
the Astor Library,) he opened tho Round Hill School at
Korthampton, and in tho intervals of instruction he occu-
pied himself in supervising and publifhing a translation of
Heeren's Histories of the States of Antiquity and of the Po-
litical System of Europe and its Colonics from the Discovery
of America to the Successftil Termination of the Straggle for
Freedom of the British Colonies. Mr. Bancroft now turned
11*

his attantton to poUttos, in which field b* displayed e«Dai>
derable ability. In January, 1838, be was appointad, by
President Van Buren, Collector of the Port of Boaton, and
disebarged the duties of this olBcs with great fidelity ftir
three years. In 1844 he was the candidate of the Damo-
oratio party for the oSlce of Governor of the State of Massa-
chusetts, and received a large vote, though not elected.
In 184&, Mr. Bancroft was appointed Secretary of the Navy,
and proved a most useAil public ofieer : he snggestod many
reforms, established the Nautical School «t Annapolis, and
improved the Astronomical Observatory at Washington.
In 1844, he was app<rinted minister-plenipotentiaiy to Gniat
Britain, and resided in London nnUI 1840, roeeivine those
grati^ring testimonials of esteem and leqpeot which mere
official position is unable to oommand. On his return to
Amerioa he adopted the city of New York as his rasidenooL
Some of his orations have been published; and he is the
author of several artieles in the North American and
Boston Quarterly Keviewa. He printed a Fouith-of-Jnly
Oration in 1830, delivered at tise request of tbe town of
Northampton; and, in 1831, an oration delivered at Spring-
fleld was published, and went through aavaial editioBS.

As an author, Mr. Bancroft is beat known by hto His-
tory of the United -States, tise first part of which, emhra»-
ing the History of the Colonisation of the United Sintea,
is comprised in three volumes : Isty pnb. 1BS4 ; Sd, 1837 ;
3d, 1840. VoL iv., being vol. L of the History of the
Revolution, was pub. in 1852, and vol. v. in ISiS. The
first portion of this work contains an account of the set-
tlement of the 18 original states, ib» Spanish aettlemente
in Florida, tbe French discovery, and colonisation of Mi>
ehigan and Wisconsin ; the discovery of the Mississippi,
the ooloniiation of Dlinois and Indiana, of Mississippi
and Louisiana, and the attempts at colonising Texas kjr
La SaUe. The topics

" Most Intsmsttng to the people at tbe sraat Tallsy of the Wa-
sisslppi, are dellnMited more fully than In mxij American work,
and from original sources; the work Is richly llfnstnted by nisps,
sketches, and enmrlnRS, particularly by heads of the Wlnthrop*,
or Smith, of William Penn. and Franklin; ftostantles of tbe wnps
of the Valley of the Mlnriialppl, and of Lake Bupeiior, with
Bketrhes lUostrating Indian Hie and anpearBnee."

" The History of the United States u a work of great research,
and, while the antbor states his own opinions decidedly siwl
strongly, it Is pervaded by a fiUr and Just spirit The style Is
vigorous, clear, and (Vank, — not often rising into aloqnenoe^ but
frequently pleturosqae, sad always free fhxa imitation and froiu
pedantry ; it Is, in ikct, what it professes to be,— a national work,
— and is worthy of its great theme."— /Tn^Afi Ehg. CVc^

Bo great has been the demand for Ibis work, that the
Itth edition of the first 3 vols, was published in 1853.

We quote some notices of the History of the Colonizii-
Uon of the United States, eomprising vols, i., ii., and ill.
Tbe commendation of tbe author's distinguished friend
and quondam tutor, Professor Heeren, must have been
very gratifying to Mr. Bancrofl :

" We know few modem historic woriu In which the author has
reached so high an elevation at once as an historical Inqulivr and
an historical writer. The great conscientlouaness with wbidi be
refers to his authorities, and his careful criticism, give tbe BKiit
declslTe proofii of bis comprcbenslre studies. He has fimnded Ids
nsrratlTe on contemporary documents, yet without neglecting
works of later times, and of other countries. His nanatlve u
everywhere woriby of the subfeet. The reader Is always Instnieled,
often more deeply Intereeted than by novela or lemaneos. The
knre at conntry Is tbe muse which Inspires the author; but this
Inspiration Is uuit of the Bevere historian, which springs tna tho
heart.'* — Psor. Hezrkk.

The valne of this opinion is well known to tbe student
of history. Edward Everett JusUy remarks that

*' Few writers haTo better succeeded than Mr. Heeren In trvat.
ing questions ofantlqaity with tbe spirit of modem phnosophlrel
eriticlam. Ho Is s prudent modlatOT between the tmld spaculsr
tions of some of his countrymen, and the eredulons lesu-nlng of
tbe last centuiy. . . . Mr. Ileeren holds a place In the flt>nt rank
of tbe piofessora at Oottlnpen, Is one of the meet esteemed Gcf.
man writera of the present day. Is a correspondent of the National
Institute of France, and worthy of tbe &me which he axyjfB at
home and abroad." — ^ortA ^mrrioan BevinB,

Lavdari a viro iaudato Mr. Bancroft must feel to b* a
sufficient reward for his arduous labours.

Frederick Von Ranmer does not scruple to say that

** Bancroft. Preacott, and Sparks have effscted so anieh In hi*,
torieal composition, that no living European historian can lake

Ereoedence of them, but rather nught feel proud and gntefnl to
s admitted as a companion."
As we have quoted Mr. Everett, this seems to be i\
proper place for a short extract fh>m this distinguished
scholar's review of Mr. Bancroft's let volume :

" A HWory of the United States, by an American wrtter, po»
scesLiu a claim upon our attention of the strongest character. Tt
would do so under any circnmstancce: but when we add that thm
work of Mr. Bancroft Is one of tbe ableat at the class which haw

The Edinburgh Review, in concluding a notice of the
t Tola., (8th edition, Botton, 1S41J remarks :

*< We cannot take laaTe of this work without again enforcing
vpon the mind of the Knslish reader the neceaeltj of perusing n
with a eatholle spirit. All that U of eiiier Importanee in It Is en-

I to his eeteam. Ihe real Uberalitj,— the general
the hiboor and coneeieutknu roeearch It erlncea, — deserve, and we
ara eeanred will reoelTe, Us warmest approbation. There are some

8m aln, to the nme etbct, N. Amer. Rev., Ixxziv. 428,
0^ Ber. a. B. BUii.) The London Monthly Review ipeaka
with enthnriaam both of the author and his theme :

•Mr. Buc*o(L who is an American himeeli; possesses the beet
yfitlea of an historian. His diligent reaearcli, his earnest yet
tolaniit spMI, and ths sostalned accnrasy and dignity of his style,
have been nobly bsvoght to twar upon one of the grandeet sub.
Jeeto that ever enmed the study of the pblloenpher, the legislator,
or the Ustorlsa. There can be no doubt of his being posMsned of
the faigheet requisites of an historian."

Whilst there are many on this side of the Atlantic who
would not feel disposed to endorse without reservation the
following imprimatur, the literary eompetoncy of the his-
torian will be questioned by few :

••Bsaeraft Is the seknowledgod hlstarisn of the United gtates.
Tto falai has bsen awaited by unlvenal consent the task of making
the record of onr nation's lUb, with a confldenee in his ripe scholar-
di^ extensive historical knowledge, Just dieerimlnatkm, and the
purity of his style, that has to no respect been dlssppolntsd. Ills
work is, and most he, the standard history of the country, and as
each Aonld reach every kmlly, and be studied by every person
who wovld he aequainted with the evente of our paet exlstonee."

We hare stated that roL 4th, being vol. 1st of the HIg-

It eomprisc* a period of IS yean, from 1748 to 1763, and

AI a whole :

** Aside trvm Its artlstk exeellenoe, Its remarkable unity, bril-
liant narrative, and vlvtd description, the whole work Is fuU of
fkcts that can he found nowhere else; for no one has had at conn
maud richer or monr costly materials, or haa brought to them
greater ability or more pemeTering Industry."

** There are more graceful narrators than BancrofL There may
beannallstsmoresearching and profound — though we can scareely
name them — but fbr nnk>n of history and philosophy, the actuiu

bears away the palm. . . . Hr.Baneroft'siianwTalsdistlnguidied

In the sphere of ftcta, he deals in no unmeaning generslltlaB.
Whether delineating character or natural scenery, his epithets are
cbolee, ^ort-cutf and of expressire fidelity. He nerer fklls into
the error, so eommon with Inferior writers, of losing all dlstlne^
ne« of statement in a cloud of genend aaaerUons. He Is always
spadfie to his detail. Instead of trusting to Indefinite iftatches. ue
dost not paint in uaoertaln coloura the localities which he wishes
to Illustrate, but presents their natural features in prominent r»>
Uet"— an. RiPLiT.

** At onre a phQosopher, a poet, a statesman, and an aasldnons
student, it Is not surprising uat he has produced a monument of
genius and toll which embodies the lilghest attributes of tlw in-
tellect, and will challenge the admiration of ages." — A^tw JTork

" Among the hlstorlaus who hare attaSaed a Ugh and deeerred

IncHned to yield the first pUoe to-Qeorge Bancroft.

** Uls experience is political and diplomatic life, no len than hit
rare and generous culture, and his singular union of the highest

" The opinion which we luTe men than once expressed npon

processional, yet scarcely eqnal to tlie vigour of debate or the storm

** Mr. Bancroft, who was Ambassador to London in 1846-40, had
ttieOovemment arcfaivea of Knaiand and France fk«ely thrown open
to him Ibr the puipoasa of this htstoiy while thus engaged, and also

mixed up in onr contest Well and wisely has be used them.
We had occasion, when his sixtli volnme appeared, to go over it
as critically as we oould ; and it is to the credit of his accamcy that
we wer« able to discover only a single inaccuracy. That was wherft

Bancroft, Richard, 1544-1610, Archbishop of Can-
torbaiy, was a native of Farmsworth in Lancashire. He
took the degree of B.A. at Christ's College, Cambridge, in
1667, and then removed to Jeans College. He was in fa-
Toar with Queen Elisabeth, whom he attended in her last
illness. She nominated him to the see of London, and
King James in 1604, promoted him to the Archbishoprio
of Canterbury. He was a lealons opponent of the Puri-
tans, and Clarendon thinks that had his life been prolonged,
he would hare inooeeded in destroying that formidable
power which after his death swallowed up both the Church
and the Monarchy. On the 12th of January, 1688, he
preached a sermon at St. Paul's Cross, in which he handled
the Puritans with great severity. See Hickes'a Biblio-
theca Script. Eccles. Anglicanss.

In 1693 he published, 1. Dangerous Podtions and Pro-
ceedings published and practised within this Island of
Britain, under pretence of Reformation and of the Prealiy-
terian Discipline. 2. A Survey of the pretended Holy
Discipline. These works

The Memorials of Oeorge Bannatyne, 1545-1608, edited
by Sir Walter Scott and D. Laiag, Esq., waa pub. in 1826 :
it is No. XXXI. of the works issued by the Bannatyne

and be regularly presided over its meetings, from 1823 to
1831. It consisted originally of only 31 members; Init as
many persona of rank and literary distinction were anx-
ious to become connected with ili in 1828 tbe number
was increased to 100.

" The Bannatyne Club was a child of his own, and tma first to
last he took a most fltttaerly coacem In all Its proceedings. His
practical sense dictated a direction of their fUnds widely different
from what had been adopted by the Roxburghe. Their elub-books
aJready oonstitnte a very curious snd valuable library of Bcottlsb
history and antiquities: their example has been followed with not
Inferior success by the Maltland Club of Glasgow — which was
soon afterwards Instituted on a similar model, and of which, alsa
Sir Walter ?cott was a sealous associate; — and since bis death a
third dinb of this class, fbnnded at Bdlnbuiith In his honour, and
styled the Abbotslbrd Clnb, baa taken a stDl wider range;— not
confining their printing to works connected with Scotland, but
admitting all materials that can throw light on the ancient history
or lltemtnre of anv country, anywhere deecribed or dlsffusssd by

lications recorded in " Hume'a Learned Societies and Print-

Barbanid, Anna Letitia, 1743-1826, was bom at
Eibworth, Leicester, where her father, the Rev. John
Aikin, LL.D., a Diasenting miniater, was master of an ex-
cellent academy. See the memoir of her brother. Dr.
John Aikin, in this volume. She gave early indicationa
of uncommon powers of mind, which were enltivated by
a thorough English and classical education. In 1773 she
was persuaded to publish a volume of misoellaneous
poems, which was so well received that four editions were
issued within the year. In the same year her brother and
herself pnblished a volnme of Hiscellaneoua Pieoea in
Prose. In 1774 she was married to the Rev. Rochcmont
Barbauld, a Dissenting minister, descended from a family
of French Protestante. The newly-married pair opened a
iohool at the village of Falgrave, and Mrs. Barbauld's
literary fame, and ner devotion to the duties of instruc-
tion, soon secured celebrity and succeaa to the academy.
Her Early Leaaona for Children, and Hymns in Prose for
Children, proved useAiI, not only to her own pupils, but
also to many thousands who have lived to carry out the
excellent principles inculcated by these invaluable ma-
nnab for the young. In 17U appeared her Devotional
Pieces, oomposed from the Psalms and the Book of Jolt.

In 1786 Mr. and Mrs. Barbauld, finding npose neoas-
saiy, gave np their school, and visited Switierland and
France, when they remained for neariy a twelvemonth.
In 1790 Mrs. BaiWld published A Poetieal SpisUe to
Mr. WUberforee, on the Rejection of the Bill for Abolish-
ing the Slave Trade. In 1792 appeared Remarks on Gil-
bert Wakefield's Inquiry into the Expediency and Proprie-
ty of Public and Social Worship.

Evenings at Home, the Joint production of Mrs. Bar-
bauld and her brother. Dr. John Aikin, was commenced
in 1792, and oompleted in 1795, In < vols. In this excel-
lent work Mrs. Barbaald's share was not eonsidenUs. It
IM

is said that not more than oae-twdfUi of the whole was
eontribntod by her pen. See mora respecting Evenings
at Home in memoir of Dr. John Aikin.

In 1802 Mr. Barbauld became pastor of a eongragatloa
at Newington-Oreen, and a resident of the villue of
Stoke-Newington. Mrs. Barbauld pub., in 1804, Selec-
tions bom the Spectator, Tatler, Ouardian, and Free-
holder. In the same year she contributed a Life of Samuel
Richardson to bis Correspondence. In 1808 she was
called to monrn the death of her huaband, who bad given
up the ezereise of his ministerial duties two years pravi-
onsly. In 1810 she edited a series of the British Novd-
isto, pub. in 60 vols. The Female Spectator appeared in

. 1811; and in the next year was pub. Eighteen Hundred

I and Eleven, a Poem of a politicsl ehuacter, and any
thing but cheerftil in ite tone.

This excellent lady lived to the advanced age of 82. An
edition of her works was published in two volumes after

' her death, with a memoir of the authorass, by her niece

I Lucy, daughter of Dr. John Aikin, herself a writer of
considerable note. Mrs. Barliauld's imitation of Dr.
Johnson, in her Essays on Romance, was thus noticed by

; the doctor himself:

"The imlutota of m7 style have not hit It Ulaa AlUn baa

I dona It the beat; fbr ahe has Imitated the aentlmenta as wall as
the diction,"— AmtKlTa Life nf Johnmm.

I We find another ref^rance by the Doctor to' Miss Aikin:
" Too much la expected from precocity, and too little peHbrmad.

' Miss AlUn wa* an Instance of early cnltlTStlon, but In what did

' it terminate T In marrying a little Praabyterlan paraon, who keeps
sn Intent boardln9.flchool, ao that sU her employment now Is

daUKbter, and bad dlacorned that aba thought of manylng such

I a fellow, I would hare sent her to the CongcMa."

Nemo mortalium omat&ua horia ntpit ; and this is one of
the many very foolish speeches of a very wise man. Could
the highly-educated yonng lady have been better employed
than in promoting the mental, moral, and leligioas im-
provement of those who wera in a few years to inflaenes
society so greatly for good or for evil t

Edition* of The Bruee were pnb. in 1818, 1848, 18i6,

Pinkarton pnb. an edition in S vols. ; and in 1820 Dr.
Jamieson pnb. one in 2 vols., with a Life of the Author
prefixed. Warton notices Barbonr and Henry the Uinstral
in theae terms:

X Altbai«h this week la pmhsaadly mnflnsd to England, yet I
caaaot paaa over two Scotch poets of this period, irho haTe adorned
the Eiwlish lansnage by a atimln of Ternfleatlon, exprnalon, and
peetlrei illWftiiij flur superior to tbelraf^e; and who, consequently,
daaerre to lie mentioiied In a nnaial rerlew of the laugiess of our
■Bdooal poady."— JSGiAiry <|fBKtli^^ Aatnr, n>L U.

The historian had some claim to inelnde Barbour in his
trorthies, as his ia one of the eminent namea that adorn
the proud seroll of Oxford. In 1367 a aafe-condnct was
mated by Bdward III. of England, by reqneat of David
U. of Seotlaad, to "John Barber, Arehdeaaon of Aber-
deen, with three aoholars in his company, coming [into
Ba^and] ia order to study in the Dniveraity of Oxford,
■ad perform his seholastieexeraises." We need not inform
the •ehohu' eonvenant with literary history, that it is still
m mooted point what we are to understand by this phrase-
•lagy : our own opinion is that the aafe-eonduot of 1857
eajiM easily interpreted by the aid of a similar document
sf 1M4, and the one which refers to France, dated 1388.
Bat we have no spaee for the discussion of " mooted points ;"
therefore must hasten on.

e*ys Uta ^ Ott aoMnk Adk

Mr. Pinkerton speaks of Barbonr in no measnred terms
sf commendation :

■ Perilaps the editor may be accused of nationality, when he
^Va, tliat, taking the total merits of this work together, he prefers
tt to tike only exerttoos of even the Italian mose, to the melan-

aa much as M. le Orand does t,faVUau to a Provenfal ditty, nere
Indeed the reader will find few of the gncee tA fine poetry, little
of the attic dresi of the muse ; but here are life and spirit, and
ease and plain sense, and pictures of real mannerm, and perpetual
Incident and entertainment. The langna^fe Is remarkably good
fiw the time, and fer superior In neatncM and elegance even to that
of Oawin Douglass, who wrote more than a century after.'* — Pn-

With regard to the language of The Bruee, it is ear-
t^nly " very remarkable that Barbour, who was contem-
porary with Clower and Chaueer, is more intelligible to a
modem reader than either of these English poets."

"Our arvbdeaoon was not only amous for his extensive know-
ledge In the philosophy and divinity of tbooe tlmee, but still mora
admired fbr his admirable senlus fer English poetrv ; In which he
composed a history of the life and gloriouB actions of Robert Bruce. . .
A work not only remarkable fer a copious rircumstantlal detail of
the exploits of that Ulnstrlous prince, and his brave companions
In arms, Randolfl^ Earl of Moray, and the Lord James Douglass,
but also fer the beauty of Its style, which Is not Inferior to that
of bis contemporary, Chaucer.'* — Henrj^t HUtory qf Qrtat Britain:

Dr. Nott, also, speaks of the resemblance to Chancer:

I ** He had given to his countrymen a flue example of the simply

csierKetle s^le, which resembled Chaucer's beet manner, and

wanted Uttle to nuke It the genuine langnsge of poetry.** — XVrff.

But Hr, Spalding does not set quite so high an estimata
on the Archdeacon's poetry :

** If we were to compare It with the contemporary poetry of Eng*
land. Its place would be very high ; Chaucer being set aside as
unapproachable, Barbonr must be pronounced much superior to
Oower, and still moro so to the snonTmons writers of the very
beat of the metrical romances." — Hittary iff Engtiih Literature.

** 6lr Walter Scott, whose ' Lord of the Isles* owes much to ' The
Bruce,* and might profitably be compared with It, hes not forgot-
ten one of the finest of those passsges In wbleh we are told how
the king, pureued by a superior ibrce, ordered bis band to tnm

Barclay* Barcley, Barklar> or de Barklay,

Alexander* d. 1SS2, at an advanoed age, is supposed by
Wood to hare been a native of Somersetshire, or its vici-
nity ; Warton assigns him to Oloucestershire, or Devon-
shire ; Bale and Pits are of opinion that he was from north
of the Tweed, and Dr. BuUeyn declares he was a Sootcb-
man. In 149J we find him of Oriel College, Oxford. He
was first a priest of the college of St Mary Ottery, in De-
TOnahire ; secondly, of the order of St Benedict ; thirdly, of
the order of St Francis. After the dissolution of the monas-
tery of Ely, he became vicar of Wokey, in Somersetshire, waa
afterwards translated to Baddow Magna in Essex ; and last-
ly was presented to the vicarage of All Saints, Lombard
Street, on April 30, 1S52 ; a few weeks after which, he died.
The principal work in which Barclay was concerned U
one the very mention of which excites the entbnsiasm of the
true Bibliomaniao. It is entitled Thx Shyp or Folts op
TBI WoKLDS, and was printed by Pynson, tn 1509. It
is founded upon the original work of this name, of Sebas-
tian Brandt — a Gtorman latire npon the follies of all ranks
— and npon the French and Latin translation thereof.

father's work, Do Potestate Papse, a curious production
for an adherent of the Church of Rome ; as it lays down
the positions, 1. That the pope has no power direct or in-
direet over sovereigns in temporals. 2. That they who
allow him any such power, whatever they may intend, do
veiy great pr^udice to the Roman Catholic religion.
This work was attacked by Cardinal Bellarmin, to whom
Barclay responded in his J. Barclay Pietas, Ac, Paris,
IC12. He afterwards repented baring written this work,
as it displeased many of his own faith, and gratified those
whom he esteemed heretics. As some reparation, it is sup-
posed, he pnb. in 1617 Paraencusis ad Sectaries.

His lean Animanun was pub. in 1614. It is a delinea-
tion of the genius and onstoms of the EuropesA nations,
with remarks of a moral and philosophioal oast on the pe-
enliarities of manidnd. In style it has been compared to
Goldsmith's Traveller. Barclay's principal work, the Ar-
genia, or the Loves of Poliarohus and Argenis, was first
pnb. in Paris in 1621, by means of the friendship of the
celebrated antiquary, M. de Peireso. The first English
tnaslation was pub. by Kingsmill Long, gent., in 1625,
4to. Of this there was a second edition, " beautified with
pictures, together with a key prsefixod to unlock the whole
story," in 1636. There ifas also a translation in 1628 by
Sir Robert Le Orys, " the verses by Thomas May," (the
eontinnator of Lucan ;) this version is said to have been
undertaken at tiie request of Charles L In 1772 Clara
Reeve pub. a translation under the title of The Phoenix,
or the History of Polyarchns and Argenis. There are
three French tnwslaUons of The Argenis, 1624, 1732, 1736;
and it was also rendered into the Italian, Spanish, and
Dutch. The Argenis is a political allegory, a romance,
and a system of polities :

" In It the various tmns of aoremment are investigated, the
eaoaes of Action detected, and the remedies pointed out Ibr most
«t tbe evils ttiat can arise in a state. ... It affords such a variety
b/ entertainment, that ever^ ktnd of render roa}" And In It some-
tlilBK snltsble to his own taste and disposition : the statesman,
the philoeopher, tbe soldier, tbe lover, tbe dtlsen, tbe friend of
mr-h'~* each may giatify his livoarlte pnniensity, wliUe tlie
lialhi who comes ftr his amosement only, will not go awsy dis-
aypolatad." — Pnfact io Clara JReev^g Tranghxtion.

The characters in the Argenis are intended to represent
Tarioos distinguished personages in history and real life.
Poliarehns is meant for Henry of Navarre ; Aqnilius is the
Emperor of Germany j Calvin is Usinulca; Radirobanes
is the King of Spain, and Hyanislie is thonght to resemble
in some traits Elisabeth of England. Richelieu was very
fond of perusing this work, and it is thonght from thence
he drew many of his politicaJ maxims. Cowper pro-
■omeed it the most amusing romance ever written :

"It Is Interesting in a high degree; richer In Incident than can
be hmctiud, ftall of surprises, which tbe reader never fttrestldls,
a^ yes flee from all entangtanent and oonf^islon. The style, too,
appeal* to ma to be such as would not dishonour Tadtns hllD-
mUr—Cbmr'i UOer (o Saml. Sotc JE>{.

As to the style to which Cowper thus refers, Coleridge
prefers it to that of Livy or Taeitas: (Remains, voL L,)
bat Mr. Hallam remarks upon this :

*' I cannot by any means go this length ; It has struck me that
€be lAthilty Is more that of Petronius ArMter, but 1 am not well
■aoogh scqnslnted with that writer to speak confidently. The
^■■e observation seems applicable to the Bupbomilo." — Intnduc
tt UL 1^ Bmnpt.

We may be permitted to remind classical critics of the
rworded opinion of Grotius :

" Gente Osledonlns, Oallus natsllbns hie est,
Romam Romano qui docet ore loquL"
" A Scot by blood,— and French by birth, — this man
At Rome speaks Latin as no Roman can."

Mr. Hallam well remarks that

" Barclay has mingled so much of mere fiction with his story,
ttat no anempts at a refnilar key to the whole work can be buc-
iMsflil, nor In Jbet does the &ble of this romance run Inanyparal-
Id stiieiii with real events. His object seems In great measure to
have been the dlsrutalon of political questions In feigned dialogue.
Bat though in these we find no want of scnteness or gof>d senm,
tbey have not at present much norelW In our eyes ; and though
the style is really |daaslng, or, »m some have Judged, excellent, and
the Incidents not lll-contrlved, it might be hard to go entirely
I at 700 psges^ nnluss Indsed we had no

slteraatlve given but the pemsal of Oie slidlar weeks in Spanldi
or Vrench." — IntndMC to Lit, qf Xurepe,

Tbe correctness of the opinion of this intelligent author
is eviuoed by the general neglect into which this once
popular allegory has now fallen.

■* It absolutely distresses me, when I reflect that this work, ad-
mired as It has boen by great men of sU ages, (and lately by the
poet Cowper,) should bo only not unknown to the general reader."

Barclay, Robert, 1648-1690, the oelebrated apolo-
gist for the doctrines nod prinoiples of the Society of
"Friends," sometimes called "Quakers," was bom at
Gordonstonn, in Morayshire, December 2Sd. He was a
descendant of a very " ancient and honourable family in
Scotland, by his father's side, who was Colonel David Bar-
day, of Mathers, a man universally esteemed and beloved,
and by his mother, Mrs. Catherine Gordon, daughter of
Sir W. Gordon, h'om the noble house of Huntley ; so that
if his principles had not led him to slight the advantages
of birth, few gentlemen oonld in that particular have gone
beyond him." His father, who had held a commission in
the Swedish army in <}ermany, where he rose to the rank
of Hiyor, and had also oommanded in the Royalist army
under Charles I., embraced Quakerism whilst confined in
prison flrom political perseontions, in the year 1666.

Robert was sent to Paris at an early age, to complete
his edaeation, and placed under the care of his unole,
principal of the Soots' College. This relative was a lesi-
ons Roman Catholic, and Robert was naturally disposed
to embrace a religion so favourably commended to his re-
gard. His uncle was so anxious to retain him in Paris,
where he oonld both enjoy his society, and preserve him
ftwm tbe baneful infinenee of heretical docbrines, that he
offered to present him with a considerable fortune at once,
and leave the balance of his property to him on his de-
mise. It is not unlikely that Robert would have con-
sented to these conditions, had not a summons ttom his
fhther, who dreaded his becoming a eonvert to the Roman
Church, recalled him home. With tiiat regard to striet
principle which was always a charaoteristio of Robert
Barclay, he was not disobedient to the paternal command,
but at once resigned the flattering prospects which bad
been held ont to him, and returned to Scotland in 1664.

So great had l>ean his application to his studies, that, al-
though scarcely sixteen years of age, he possessed consi-
derable knowledge of the sciences, and was skilled in the
French and Latin tongues ; the latter he wrote and spoke
with facility and correctness; snbseqnenUy ho attained
Greek and Hebrew.

Many authors have told ns that Colonel Barclay bad
become a convert to Quakerism (we use the term for con-
venience, and, of oonrse, without any disrespect) before
tbe return of Robert from France : but we have the testi-
mony of Robert himself that his father did-not join thil
sect until 1666. This date approaches so closely to that
of the first promnlgation of the doctrines ef Quakerism,
that a brief notice of the history of the society in Soot-
land for the first twenty years of its existence, may not be
ont of plaee. George Fox, bom in 1624, (see Fox,
Gborsb,) became a public preacher of his religions tenets

pitwlaimed. One of the most dutinguished diseiplec wm
the eelebimted John Swinton of Bvinton, one of Uie moat
learned and aoeompUahed men of his time, and lo mneh !
in bronr with Oliver Cromwell that it wai notorioos that [
the Protector " tnuted him more tlian anjrbod j, and al-
moat erarj thing in Scotland was done hj hia adrioe." j
At the Bealotation, Swinton and Barclay were impriaoned
by the soTemment^ and by " long and f^nent oonreraa-
tiona" uie latter waa convinood by the former of the esoel-
lency of the dootrinea preached by George Fox.

Colonel Barclay sought to impreaa the truth of hia new
opinions upon the mind of Robert, but for some time
without success. He did not, however, reftiae to place
himself in the way of conviction, and, whilat attending a
religiona meeting of the aoeie^, be waa ao deeply im-
pressed by a diacoorae of one of their miniatera, that he
felt it hia duty to unite with the body. He became a moat
lealons propagator of hia new teneta ; and laboured with
great sucoeas in England, and on the Continent, especially
in Holland. He travelled with William Ponn through
the principal parts of England, Holland, and Germany.
He waa " aveiywhere received with respect, and dismissed
with oonoem ; for though hia converaation as well as bis
manners were strictly suitable to hia doctrine, yet there
waa such a spirit and livelineaa in hia diaoourae, and aucb
a serenity and cheerfulness in his deportment, as rendered
him extremely agreeable to all sorts of people."

Robert Barclay was no common character, either as re-
qieote natural capacity, eztenaive learning, indomitable
energy, or persevering seaL At an age when many young
men are triflera of bshion, or alavea to vice, thia noble
youth girded up hia loina, and went forth into the world
to battle with ain, and promote the glory of God through
the aalvation of man. Born to proaperona fortnnea, and
of an illuatrions line, the heir of the De Berkleys was
willing, for the sake of tmth and righteousness, to "eat
his bread with seareeneaa," and to ezuiange the aoeiety of
the great, and the lordly halla of noblea, for the " tender
mercies" of a brutal jailer, the eompanionahlp of folona,
and the untold horrora of the convict^a eelL We eta ima-
gine few more affecting pictorea than that which diagraoed
the year 1677, and the town of Aberdeen, when the aged
Colonel Barclay, hia son Robert, and a nnmber of other
Qnakers, were cast into Jail for the second time in a twelve-
month. His father, who, to borrow the words of Croeae,
" waa veoeiabie in hia appearance, jnat in all hia actions,
who had shewed his courage in the wars of Germany, and
bis fortitude in bearing all the hard usage he met with in
Seotiand with cheerfulness, as well as patience"— thia
good aU man, now well atrickea in years, bat atrong in
conscious integrity, and supported by a noble leal, waa
ready to go with hia beloved child to priaon and to death,
nther than to deny hia faith, or to hold his peace when
he believed that his God bade bim to "lift up hia voice,
and show the people their sins." Our worthy anceatora
bad what they eateemed a aovereign remedy for hereay.
When any inquirer after truth waa so hardy as to doubt
their infallibility, they forthwith put him into the stocks,
or immursd him in the next jail, fed him with bread and
water, and eropped off bis ears, and, if he still continued
obstinate, perhaps bang him at Tyburn, or burnt him at
Bmithfleld. Who can doubt that such substantial evi-
dences of the true Christian apirit of love, charity, and
ipwdwill, were admirably calculated to convince all here-
tios of the evil of their own waya, and the orthodoxy of
those who were so solicitooa for their apiritud wd£H«?
Bobert Barclay bad not long been united to the soeiety of
" Friends," when he eommeneed that powerftil use of his
pen OB behalf of their doctrines, by which bis name has
bean widely known to all succeeding generations.

His first work appeared in 1170 :

•' Truth dasral of Gslamnles, wherein a book antltled, A Dia-
logue betwsn ■ Quiifcar and a stable Chrtatlan, (printed at Abei^
dsen, and, upon good ground, Judged to be writ by w Ulbun HJtehell,

it,) la examined, and the Dto-ingamiity of the antbor In represent-

daand, damooatiatad, and the Oblaetlona of their Oppoasfs an-
swered aooording to Imtli, Beriptnra, and Bight Reaaoa."

This hydra-headed treatise might well have alarmed
the imprudent William Mitchell, who had little idea when
preparing his Dialogue what sore punishment be was
drawing down upon his own bead. To use the significant
pbraaeology of the author to the Preface of Barolay's
works, (Lon., 1682,) this answer ahowed Barclay " to be
BiBoh an overmatch for his antasoniat." la this wixrk
lit ^

Barclay reviews the otjecUons which bad been aig*4
against the doctrines of the Quakers.

**Thebuslnowa of thia book la to ahev they had bean aaiiavfr

Some Things of Weighty Concernment, Ac. Thia second
treatise was an appendix to the first ; in this he proposes
twenty questions relating to those who had dlstinguiahed
themaelvea in repreaenting the Quakers tn ridiculous lights,

" When If that kind of language had been allowed among thia
aori of people, they might thrauMVea have been rendered fhr more
ridlcnlouB, Theae wrltinga made Mr. W. Mltrbell ao uneaay, and
rendered it so appareat that either he waa In the wrong, or wanted

atalr had reeourae aBain to the preaa, In order to ratom an aaawar
to Robert Barclay, which prodaeed our aathor'a third book upon
thia subjeet. In which be effectually silenced that angry and Im-
patient writer."

The preface to the third treatise — W. Hitohell unmask-
ed, or tne staggering infallibili^ of the pretended stable
Christian discovered, Ac. — is dated Ttom Ury, our author's
residence, December 34, 1671. In 167& be published a
work intended to explain and defend the doetrinea and
principles of the Qnakers. This work is entitled

** A Oateehhan and Oonfeialon of Faith, approved of and agreed
unto by the Genenl Asaembly of the Patrlaicha, Propheta, and
Apoatlea, Christ himaelf chief Speaker In and among tbem, which
oontalneth a true and fidthful Account of the Prinelplea and Doo-
ttinea which are moat aurely bellered by the Chnruiea of Chrtat
In Oreat Britain and Ireland, who are reproachftilly called by the
name of Quiuaa, yet aie found in one Faith with the Primitive
Church and Salnta, aa la moat clearly demonatrated by some plain

which ta added an Izpoatnlatlaa with an Appeal to all other Pro-
twsnrs, by R. B, a Servant of the Church of Chrlat."

Onr anther seems to have determined that those who
would not pursue their investigations farther than his titto-
pages, should not even then escape wholesome instmotion.
The preface to this work hi dated Uric, 1673. The author
endeavours to prove that Quakerism is the perfection of
Protestantism : that there is properly no middle ground
between the doctrines he espouses, and those of the Chiiroh
of Rome.

The Anarchy of the Ranters, Ac, which has been praised
aa " a learned and excellent treatise, containing as mneh
sound reason as any book of its site, in our, or perhaps in
any modem, language," was pnblisbed in 1676. Its ob-
ject was to prove that the Qnakers were not justly liabls
to the objections urged against the fanaticism of the Rant-
era. ' This work met with so much censure, that in 1679 ha
pub. a Vindication of it. He also gave to the wnld A
True and FaithfU Aecoont of some of his disputes with
some of the students of the University of Abenleen ; and
in 1686 he pub. The Posdbility and Necessity of the In-
ward and Immediate Revelation of the Spirit of God,
towuds the foundation and ground of true faith, proved
in a Letter written in Latin to a person of Quaiity ia
Holland, and now also put into English.

Like Banyan, Sir Richard Baker, Boetbins, Orotina,
Buchanan, and many other good men, he made even tha
employment of his prison hours tisefnl to his fellow-men.
It waa whilst in the jail of Aberdeen that he eompooed
that " noble description of Christian Beneficence," Uni-
versal Lore considered and established upon its right
Foundation, being a serious Enquiry how far Charity maj,
and ought to extend towards Persons of different Judg-
ments in matters of Religion, and whose Principles among
the several Sects of Christiana, do most naturally lead is
that due Moderation required, writ in the Spirit of Love
and Meekness for the removing of Stumbling-Blocks ovi
of the Way of the Simple, by a Lover of the Souls of all
Men, R. B. This work was written and pub. in 1677.
The author divides bis subject into five sections.

1st. He gives his own experience, and his reasons for
writing this treatise.

2d. The nature of Christian Love and Charity is de-
monstrated.

Sd. The controversy ia stated with respect to the different
religious bodies, Ao.

4th. An examination of the principles held by many call-
ed Christiani^ and those principlM proved to be defactiva.

HaTing thus aotieed the other worka of Robert Barclay,
we are prepared to consider that by which he will alwayi
be beet known, rii :

"An Apology lor the true ClutetSanlllTinltj.M the mmeii held

The Addten to Charles IL has been admired for olear^
neaa and vigoor of style, and faithful boldness of ezhorta-
tifm. Was there ever a greater contrast than lietween the
•abject and the king? the selfish, dissolate, effeminate
Bonareb, and the noble- hearted, self-saerificing preacher of
UniTersal Lore ? The Theses Theologieae, which were the
gronnd-work of the Apology, had been prerlously published
and sent abroad in Latin, French, High and Low Dutch,
and Bngliah, addressed to the Clergy of what sort soever,

" And that Ua candour, impartiality, and stDoere lore of truth,
mlgfat be still more maoUeet, ha sent them to the Doctors, Pro-
fcanra, and Students In Dlrinlty, both Popish and Protestant, In
•eery country thronghont Burope, doelring they would seriously
srsaMiie thsm, and sand hhn their aaswen. As soon as the Apo-
logy was Onlahed, he sent two copies of It to each of the puUle
wnlstete, then at the flunons Congress of Mmeguen, where It was
lecsiTed with all Imaginable Ikronr and respect, and the know-
, charity, and dtolterested probity of Its author Justly ap-

Tha Latin -rarsfam, Theologiea vere Christiana Apolo-
gia, was pob. at Amsterdam in 1876 ; the English transla-
lioB, aa we hare seen abore, in 1078. Other Bnglish edi-
tions were pablished in 1701-36, a beantlftil edition by
Baakerrille in 1765, another edition in 1780, and many
rinee ; besides Abridgments in 8to. and 12ma. Ac. Ant.
ds Alrarado translated it into Spanish in 1710 ; and trans-
lationa hare appeared in most of the European languages.
The aatkar pub. a Vindioation of his work in 1679 ; in-
eited thereto by an attack in Latin by John Brown upon
the Latin rersion of the Apology. ' The Vindication was
•siaemed by William Penn, and many others, to be equal
in erery respect to the Apology.

Our author's doctrines, as contained in the Theses, and
mora largely exponnded in the Apologia, were attacked
by otlier writers also, rii. : Nicholas Amoldns, Professor
in the University of Franeqner; John George B^jenie,
FnrfiMsor of Divinity at Jena, (who was answered by
0«o. 'Keith, then a stout supporter of Quaker doctrines ;)
Christopher Holthusins, a famous preacher at Franck-
fort ; Oeorge Keith, (the quondam advocate of the Apology,)
in the Standard of the Qnaken Examined, Lon., 1702;
AaL Keiser of Hamburg ; Thomas Benne^ in a Confb-
litioB of Quakerism, 170i,- Mr. Trenchard ; Thoa. Chubb,
1711; Wm. Notentt, 1738; Daniel aittins, 17S8; S. New-
ton, 1771, fte.

As we have nothing to do in this place with the theo-
logical opinions of Barclay, or of his antagonists, we dis-
elwrge oar dn^ by enabling the reader to possess himself
of the expcdtiona of the viswi of both sides of the con-
troversy.

Of the literary character of a theological, as of any other,
work, it does become ns to speak ; and here we are very
safc in assigning a distingniatied place among the produc-
tions of the boman mind to Barclay's Apology for the Inie
Christian Divinity. Language of nncommon purity is made
tiic powerful instrument of reasoning embellished with wit,
and persuasion fortilled by signment. To the merits of
Barclay as a writer, we have, besides many others, the at-
testations of the learned Oerard Croese, Norris of Bemer-
toB, Jeremiah Jones, ]Beonet^ Trenchard, and Voltaire.
The latter observes in his Letters on the Bngliah Nation,
that the Apology is " as well ezeented as the subject would
psasibly admiL" Norris of Bemerton, a very fiunous man
in his day, remarks —

'I take him to be ao great a man, that I profess freely, I had

r against an hundred BellarmlneB, Hardlngs, and

. with one Barclay.'— AEOond IWoMm qf the tight

William Sewell speaks of him as

<■ Amaa of enlisentgiftsandgrsat endowments^ expert not only
in the langnagae of the learned, but also well vensd in the writ-
ings of the ancient Tatfaers, and other eoeleelastleal writers, and
ilniilabed with a great understanding, being not only of a sound
Jadgmsnt, bat also strong in argnmsnta."— AW. qftM Qudkmrt.

Dr. Williams remarks :

"Baiehiv was a man of extraordinary abilities, and his work af
fords considerable Inlbmiatlon, not only eoucemlnK the pm-ullar
tenets of the Quakers, but also on other subjects. His mcthud and
style are flu- superior to most of his oontomporartes."

We could multiply testimonies, but this is needless.

As regards Barclay's personal character, his energy was
evinced by his laborious and self-denying pilgrimages and
ministrations ; his benevolence by his burning teal for the
souls of bis fellow-men ; his patience and hnmility by the
uncomplaining submission with which he " bore the loss
of all things" for the advancement of what he deemed to
be the truth.

"We somethnes travelled together," says his Uthfnl friend and
fellow-euflerer, William Penn, '* both In this klngdcsn aod In Hol-
land, and some parts of Oermany, and wars Inward In direne ser-
vioea from first to last ; and the apprehension I bad of him was
this, Iw loved the truth and way of Ood, as revealed among us,
above all the world, and was not ashamed of It before men, but
bold and able In maintaining It, sound In Judgment, strong In
argument, cheerAil in tmrels and suffisringa. of a pleasant dupo*
sition, yet solid, plain, and exemplary in his oourersatlon. He
waa a learned man and a good Christian, aa able Minister, a dutl-
ftil son, and a lorlng husband, a tender and carefbl ththcr, an
easy master, and a good and kind nelxhbour and friend.'*

With such a character we need not be surprised that
it was his

** Peculiar felicity to gain so entire a conquest over envy as to
pass through life (and which Is so much the more vonderfu, sadi
a life as his was) with almost unlrersal applause, and without the
least Imputation on his Integrity. Tbe great business of his life
waa doing good, promoting what he thought to be the knowledge
of Ood, and consequently the happiness of man."

For farther information concerning this truly eminent,
and — ^far higher commendation — tmiy excellent man, see
the Biogrsphia Britannica, to which this article is largely
indebted ; Sewell'a History of the Quakers, Hosheim's Eo.
elesiastieal History, Oeneologieal Aeooont of the Barclays
of Urie, Ao.

Who would not have supposed that this touching ap-
peal to the second Charles would have influenced even Us
selfish and rice-ensUved heart?

**Thon hast tasted of prosperity and advenlty; thou knoweat
what It Is to bo banished thy native country, to be overrnled, as
well aa to rule and sit upon the throne ; and being oppressed, thou
hast reason to know how hateful the oppressor Is both to God and
man.** — Pr^ace to the Apatngy.

Tmly littie cause had the poor Qnaker in bis prison to
envy the ungodly monarch on bis throne ! Deeply grieved
to witness the bold lioentionsness which prevailed among
the sooffing courtiers and their graoeless king, he might
well adopt the prayer, " 0 my soni, oome not thon into
their secret; into their assembly, mine honour, be not
thou united I"

Towards the close of bis life, Robert Barclay was in
great favour at court ; and had James II. been wise enough
to profit by bis advice in 1688, and make timely oonoes-
sions to an outraged people, it is possible that the question
of the " Succession" would never have tested the wisdom
of the English parliament.

In 1682 Barclay waa eleeted Oovemor of East Jersey
by the proprietors.

" To induce him to accept ot the cfliee, he waa made a Joint pro.
prietor, with a power of bestowing five thousand acres more, as he
should think fit. Upon account of his peculiar merit, the gorem-
ment was to be held for life, though no other Qovernor was to be
contlnned longer than three years. He had, likewise, a power of
appointing a Deputy Oovemor, which he accordingly did.''

Robert never came to America, but his brother John
settied there, and his brother David, a youth of great pro-
mise, who had gone out with the same intention, died upon
the voyage. " His brother John died at Amboy, in 1731,
leaving two sons. His grandson, Alexander, was comp-
troller of the customs in Philadelphia, and died in 1771."
A Scottish poet, writing of the two famous Barclays, Wil-
liam and John, concludes with these verses upon Robert ;
"But lol a third appears with serious air;
His Prince's darling, and his country's can.
Bee his religion, which ao late before
Was like a Jumbled mass of dross and ore,
Befined by him, and bumlsh'd o'er with art.
Awakes tbe spirit, and attracts the heart"

After a life marked with such activity and suffering for
conscienoe' sake, this good man was permitted to spend the
last few years of his life in peace. He died October 3,
leDO, at hia mansion at Ury, in Kincardineshire, Soot-
land. The estate of Ury had been purchased by Colonel
David Barclay in Uie year of Robert's birth, (1648.) The
Colonel was obliged to part with two estates, which had
been in his fhmily, one, three hundred, and the other, five
hnndted years. About 1679 Robert obtained a charter,
under the Qreat Seal, fWim King Charles the Second, ereet-
ing his lands of Ury into " a fVee Barony, with a civil aod
ra&inal jurisdiction to him and his heirs forever." This
ehartar waa ratified by Act of Parliament tsmp. James the

Seventh of SeotUnd, uid Seoond of Ba^and, "for tbe
mAny faithf^ serrioefl done by Colonel BaTid BarcUy,
and hii son, the said Robert Barclay, to the King, and bis
moat royal progenitors in times past." This barony, with
all similar jnrisdiotions, was extinguished by the chaoKes
eifeoted in the goTemment of Scotland temp. George IL
Robert Barclay left seven children, all of whom were alive
in October, 1710, fifty years after their father's death. At
the same time there were living between fifty and sixty
grand-childreu and great grand-childten.

" A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's
ohildren," and a good name has these advantages over
all other beqaests; — it can be shared without division,
ex^oyed without diminution, and remains an imperishable
capital, stimnlating to and aiding like acquisitions.

Barclay, Robert, (Allerdyce,) 1779-1851, the
great pedestrian who first walked one thousand miles in
one thousand hours. Agrioultnral Tour in the U. States,
Lon., 1842, p. 8vo.

Barclay, Thomas, a Scottish scholar, studied lite-
rature aud philosophy at Bordeaux ; going afterwards to
Toulouse he became head of the Squellanean School. Sub-
sequently he taught law both at Poitiers and at Toulouse.

<* Uls writings were neither nnmeroos nor Importanf-DXHPSTSK.

Barclay, William, ISlS-ieOS? an eminent civilian,
father to John Barclay, author of the "Argenis," was bom
in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He was in favour with Hary
Queen of Scots : after her dethronement he went to France,
applied himself to the study of belles-lettres, law, and

Ehilosophy, and graduated doctor in the civil and canon
bws. The Duke of Lorraine appointed him professor of
civil law in the University of Pont-^Housson, and a
oonnsellor and master of requests to his hospital. He
visited England at the request of James L, and was offered
a professorship of civil law at one of the universities, and
ouier honours, upon condition of his attaching himself to
the Church of England. These offers he declined, return-
ed to France in 1604, and accepted the professorship of
civil law in the University of Angers. One of his prin-
cipal works is De Regno et Regali Potestate adrersus
Buchanannm Bnitum, Bonchemm et Reliquos Monarcho-
machos, Paris, 1600. Boucher had put forth a treatise
in liSB, here referred to, entitied De Juste Henrioi III.
Boucher was a leaguer ; Barclay, on the contrary, argues
in favour of the supremacy of the king even over the
laws, and the right of the monarch to ttie implicit obe-
dience of his people, save in cases of outrageous oppression ,-
which last flaw, of course, quashes the whole indictment
against any case of resistance, as opinion must of necessi^
be the umpire. Although a sealous Roman Catholic, Bar-
clay defended the sovereignty of the crown of France, even
against the Pope. His work, De Potestate Papse an et
quatenus in Reges et Frincipes seculares Jus et Imperium
habeat, was pub. Franok., 1608, London, in English in
1611. We have already given an aooount of this work in
the biography of the author's son ; also of the response
of Cardinal Bellarmin, the circulation of which was for-
bidden by the Parliament of Paris. Barclay also pub.
Prcemetia in Vitam Agrioolse, Paris, 1599. Comm. in
Titl. Psndectarum de Rebus Creditis et de Jurejurando,
Paris, 1605.

Our learned civilian, like some other philosophers, seems
not to have been so fond of simplicity as some of the Ore-
eian sages, for

" He w«nt every day to sohool, attended bj a serrant, vho vent
bare-headed iMibre him, he himself having a rich robe llued with
ermine, the train of which was supported by two nervanta, and
his BOD upon his right hand ; and there hung about Mr neck a
greet chain of gold, with a medal ot gold, with his own picture."

Barker, Edmnnd Henrr, 1788-1839, entered Tri-
nity College, Cambridge, in 1807. He was a contributor
to the Classioal Jonmad for twenty years.

** Bis first article appeared lu No. S, and nearly erery sncoeed-
tnff number exhibited either his sign manual, or olio an anony-
motia artlele that ourled with It Intomal evidence of his being

Tloaaly to its change from a monthly to a quarterly periodica],
and more recently In the pages of the Monthly Magaslne during
the editorship of Mr. Reynolds."— Xon. OaU. Mag.

On leaving the TTniversity, abont 1810, Mr. Barker took
np his residence with Dr. Parr, at Hatton, where he re-
mained for Hre years. Soon after the death of his learned
friend, he pub. Parriana, which is, with injustice, described
in the Lon. Monthly Review as " a metrical effusion of ig-
Boranoe, vanity, and absolnte imbecility." Whilst tam-
ing over rare classical tomes, in a true Dominie Sampson
spirit, in Dr. Parr's carious library, Mr. Barker conceived
tha idea of preparing anew edition of Stephens's Tbesan-
ms Lingnss Grasesa; "intending to introduce whatever
materials tha lapse of two centuries and a quarter could
iiimiafa for the improvement of the Qreek Lexicography."
The editor engaged in this nndertaking with great seal,
aeeomnlated a large stock of materiel, paid pounds each
for volomes, which, at the sale of his library, scarcely
bronght shillings, and was encouraged by a list of 800
(Qnaiteiiy Review states 1100) subscribers. Vol. 1, Parts
L-IV, appeared in 1815-1818; and the classical enthn-
■iait was prepared to wear his blushing honours with no
little delectation ; when, in an evil hour for oor Hellenist,
Oraek met Oreek in a terrible charge in the Quarterly
Bariew, (voL zsiL p. 303,) and if Demosthenes did not ily
bom Ciueronea, the friends of the discomfited warrior
esnied him away on their shields, Blomfield's " swashing
Mow" was not rally met by the " Arislarohns Antt-Blom-
Cotdianns," which lias been called "telum imbelle sine
ieto."

Barker indeed was not silenced, as was Bentley by the
fiuaoos " Remarks" of Conyers Middloton ; but though
the Theaanms with its cargo appeared, the colours of the
captain were not nwled to the masL The name of the
owner only was blazoned on the crafL The work, how-
ever, " at last made its way through the press, and con-
sists of several ponderous folios, forming the most com-
plete lexicographical collection that ever yet has appeared.
This is, in Act, its principal merit; for in detail it is liable
ta much criticism."

This v AGScif ores comprises no less than 11,752 pages
of double oolumns ! but, " nihil sine laborc, et labor ipse
volnptas" was so true of Barker, that

** When a friend onoe condoled with him on the horrible bore of
muting the Index, that had occupied three years In the composing
and aniitlng, Mr. B. observed that they were the bapplcfit years
flC hw lUa: mr he had thus read again and snin the Tbeeaurus,
whIA he sboold not have otherwise done."— Bnaeia

Mr. Barker pub., in 1812, Classical and Biblleal Recre-
ations, one volume only of which ever appeared. He
gave to the world editions of the Latin Esop, Cesar, Ci-
cero, Tacitns, Demosthenes, and Xenophon, with English
Kotes. He also edited a translation of Buttman's Oreek
Chammar, and, in conjunction with Professor Dunbar, of
Bdinbnrgh, pub. a Oreek-Snglish and English-Oreek
Lexicon. He transmitted to Bturts, Notes on the Etymo-
logieon Ondianum, which work the latter was editing.
These notes were considered by Barker evidences of his
sUn In Oraek lexicography. Ha also pub. a volume to
disprove Iho claims of Sir Philip Francis to the aothor-
ship of Jnnins's Letters. An English reprint of Professor
Anthon'i American edition of Lempriire's Classical Dic-
tionury. A Letter to Rev. T. S. Hughes. A reprint of

rary Anecdotes, and Contemporary Reminiscenses of Pro-
fessor Person and others; ttom the MS. papers of Mr.
Barker, 2 vols., London. These volumes are l>cfore us.

" hope to read sometime," but do not feel impelled to de-

Barlow, Jo«l, IT65-I812, was a native of Reading,
Oonneeticnt He waa first placed at Dartmouth College,
bnt returned to New Haven, where he graduated in 1778.
After a very insufficient preparation, he obtained a license
to preach, and joined the American army in the capacity
of ohaplain. In 1783, when the army was disbanded.
Barlow threw aside his clerical character, and resumed
Ids law studies. He was not successful at the bar, and
was induced to visit Europe in 1788 as an agent of the
Scioto Company. At Paris he was a zealous ^herent of
the Girondists. Whilst yet at Paris, in 1795, he was ap-
pointed, by President Washington, consnl to Algiers.
Betuming to the French capital, he resnmed some mer-
cantile operations in which ho had previously been en-
gaged. His enterprise was rewarded by a handsome for.-
tune. After 17 years' absence he returned to America in
1805, and purchased a houae in Washington, where be
took np his residence. In 1811 he was appointed minister
plenipotentiary to the French government. His negotia-
tions at Paris for a oommerciol treaty, and indemnification
for spoliation, were not successful. In the autumn of 1812
he received an invitation to a conference with Kapoleon
at Wilna, in Poland. Whilst on his journey, his progress
waa arrested by an attack of inflammation of the lungs,
of which he died at Zamowitch, a small village near Cra-
oow. Barlow's first literary production, a poem written in
1778, may be found in a volume entitled American Poems,
pub. at Litchfield in 1793. In 1791, when made Master
of Arts, he recited a poem called The Prospect of Peace,
wUch was subsequently merged in The Columbiad. The

germ of this eiSe, The Yision of CoInrabBa, was pub. in
1787. His next literary employment was editing Watla'a
Version of the Psalnia, pub. in 1786. He wai ooneanied
about thia time in a weeltly paper, a boxdc store, and in
contributing to the Anarchiad. In 1791 he polk in Lon-
don the first part of hia Advice to tlie Privileged Orders.
Part II. appeared in 1795. In 1792 he gave to the public
The Conspiracy of Kings, a poem of about 400 lines.
Whilst at Chamb£ry, in Savoy, he wrote The Haslj Pud-
ding, the most popular of his poems.

<*Thla la a very pleasing peribnnance. . . . Bla versification la
incccasfuUy modelled upon that of Ooldamlth ; he baa tntetsperaed
tlie poom with several ludicrous porodiea on the moat popular eas-
saxes of English poetry, and his sul^ect naturally presented him
with many Imagea and viewa of life, which. If not in themsclvea
highly poetical, have, at leaat, all the lieah blaom and fkagnmca
of untried novelty." — Anakctic Maffozint.

We should not omit to mention Barlow's sealona at-
tampta to establish a great national academy nndar the
patronage of the federal government In 1806 he drew
up n prospectus of a national institatton. Mr. Logan, of
Pennsylvania, introduced a bill into the Senate of the
United States, and it passed to a second reading. It waa
referred to a committee who never reported, and the pro-
ject came to nothing.

In 1808 The Columbiad made its appearance in the moct
magnificent volume which had ever been pnb. in America.
The engravings were executed in London. A few copioa
were sold, but the high price was an obstacle to circula-
tion. A cheaper edition was issued in 1809; and in the
same year it was pub. in London by Philips. The Colum-
biad is composed of a number of visions, in which Hen>er,
the genius of the western Continent, presents to Colttmnns,
whilst immured in prison at Valladolid, "that which sliall
he hereafter." The War of the Revolution, the events
which are to precede, and those which are to follow, form
port of the vast materiel of this epic

" This poem has a radical defect of plan, which it would have
been difllcult Ibr any degree of poetical genius to hare eomplet^
overcumo. It 'Is the narrative of a vlaion and a dialogue, eoaitl.
nued through ten cantoa, and neariy 7000 linea. Its time o€ a*.
tion extends firem a remote period of antiquity to distant fnturlty.
and the scene ahifts, with the rapidity or a pantomime, from one
part of the globe to another. It has no regularly connected nar-
ration, or wriea of action, by which cbaractars might be dereloped.
Intaraat exriled. and the attention kept alive. Besldea, the con-
stant mixture of real and fiunlUar hlstoiy with allegory and fic-
tion, la a combination utterly destructive of that temporary illo-
sion by vhich we are led to intereat ouraelves in the adTentnrea
of an epic hero. . . . Mis versea bear no signs of poetical Insfrira-
tion ; It Is evident that they have all been worlLed by dint of raao.
lute labour." — Analeetic Mag., vol. Iv.

The faults, both of plan and execution, of the Cfrfmn-
biad, " were remarked npon, with their usual severity, by
the Edinburgh reviewers, as well as several other criljeid
journals of this country and of Great Britain." Barlow
bora these attacks without making any formal defenoa,
yet with less dignity than became a philosopher, attribut-
ing them all to political enmity, and, like Sir FratfU Flit-
giary in the play, often expressing his utter contempt and
disregard of all his assailants.

" In sketching the history of America from tiie days of Manoo
Capac down to the present day, and a few thousand years l<nrer,
the author, of course, cannot spare time to make na aoqnaintad
with any one IndlTidual, The moat Important personages, tliare-
fere, appear but once npon the scene, and then pass away and are
Ibrgotten. Mr. Barlow's exhibition aocordlnglr partakes more ot
theiutura of a procession, Ulan of a drama. River gods, 8aclieni&
majcn of militia, all enter at one side of his stage, and go off ax
the other, never to return. Roeha and Oella take np as mocli
room as Greene and Washington ; and the riven Potowmak aad
Delaware, those fluent and venerable personages, both act and
talk a great deal more than Jefferson or Franklin." — Loan Jxv-

of St. Osith in Essex, and waa educated there, and at Ox-

be excepted ? — in the profitable uses of narigation.

Barnard, Lady Anne, 1750-1826, was the daughter

of James Lindsay, fifth Earl of Baloarraa, and wife to Sir

' Andrew Barnard, librarian to Qeorge III. She waa an-

I thoress of the well-known ballad, Auld Robin Gray ; the

authorship of which waa kept a secret for more than fifty

' years. In 1823, in a letter to Sir Walter Scott, Lady

Barnard acknowledges the ballad aa her own, and gives

an interesting aeoount of the circumstances attending its

production. Captain Hall tells us that during a visit to

Abbotaford in 1825,

I "Mr Waller entertained us much by an account of the origin

of tile beautlftil song of 'Auld Bobln Orav.' *It waa written,' he

i said, * by lady Anne Lindsay, now La(fy Anne Barnard. She

happened to be at a house where she met Mim Suit Johnaon, a

' well-known person, who ]>laf ed the air, and accompanied It by

worda of no great driloacy, whatever their antlouinr might be;

and lAdj Anne, lamenting that no better wwda should belong to

I such a melody, Immediately set to work, and composed thia very

rtbetlc slory. Truth, I am sorry to say, obliges me to add that
was a fiction. Robin Gray was her mtber'i gardener, and the
idea of the young lover i^ng to sea, which would have been quite
out of cbatacter liora amongst the shepherds, was natural enough
where she was then residing, on the coast of Mfe. It wss long
unknown who the author waa; and Indeed there was a clergyman
on tbe coast wtaoae conscience waa so large that he took the burden
of tills matter upon himself, and plead guilty to the authorship.
' About two years ago I wrote to Lady Anne to know tbe truth,
I and ehe wrote back to a^r ahe waa certainly the author, but won-
dered how 1 could have guessed it, as there waa no person alive to

the merits of these reports there has been a wide differ-
ence of opinion. Lord Mansfield, who knew the reporter,
and was at the bar when the reports were taken, consi-
dered them as lacking authority, and went so far as to for-
bid counsel to refer to them in arguing case* Iwfore him.
We find the following anecdote in Marvin's Legal Bibl.

" Hr. Preston, in an argument before the lord Chancellor, re-
marked,— ' We come now, my lord, to the Important case of £Uot
T. Merrrmau, on which eonveyanceis have at all llmea relied as
very material to the law aSecUng the oaaa now beltate the court,
which is in Bamardiston'a Reports.' Lord Lyndhunt : ' Bamardis-
ton, Mr. Preatonl I ttmi that Is a book of no great authority ; I
reeoilect, in my younger daya, it was said of Bamardiston, that
he was accustomed to slumber over his note-book, and the wags
In Us rear took the opportunity of seribbling nonsense into it.'
Mr. Preston: ■ There are some eaaea m Bamaidlsloa, which hi my
experience, and having had ftvqoent ooeaalon to ecnpare that re-
porters cases with the same coses dsewhere, I have found to be
the only sensible and Intelligible reports, and I trust I shall show
your lordsUp that It may be said of Boraardiston, am nanAw
<tiirwi<s.* Lord Manners, relying on a cose in theae reporta, s»s:
' Although Bamardiston is not considered a very correct repoiietv
yet some of bis caaes are very aocurately reported.' And Lota
Eldon, in retbrenoe to the same work, observed, ' 1 take the liberty
of saying, that In that book there are reports of very great autho-
rity.' The doubts as to the accuracy of the reporter, have led, In
aeverol instancea, to a eempariaon of the volumes with the regia-
tar's book, which proves that Bamardiston, for the meat port, baa
ooneetly reported the deelalons of the Court. These reports hsve
a peculiar value, ftem the &ct of containing the decisions of the
great Lord Usrdwkke; and If the author has oecasianaU}- ftUaa

Barnes, S^jor . Tonr throajch St. Helena, 1817.

Barnes, Albert, b. 1798, ia a native of Rome, New
Tork. In 1817 he entered Fairfleld Academy, Conneeti-
eut, where he remained nearly three yeara. In 1819 he
entered the aenior elasa of Hamilton College, and gradu-
ated in July, 1820. Be had intended devoting himaelf to
the practice of the law, but was led by conriotlons of dnty
to prepare for the miniatry. He puraued hia theological
(tndies at the Princeton Seminary. He waa licensed April
23, 1823, at Lawrencerillo, New Jeraey, by the Preabyteiy
of Eliiabethtown. After preaching at Tarioua places in
Connecticut, Masaachuactto, and New Jeraey, he took
ebarge of the First Preabyterian Church in Morriatown,
Hew Jeraey. In 1830 he received a call flrom the Firat Pres-
byterian Church in Philadelphia, and waa inatalled June 2S,
1830, and still continues pastor of that congregation, (1858.)

The particulara of the eccleaiastical experience of this
sminently uaefhl and highly eateemed gentleman it does
not eoma within our province to notice.

In this country and in Oreat Britain, Mr. Barnes (for
he haa repeatedly refused the title of D.D. from eonacien-
tiooa motives) ia widely known for hia commentariea on
the booka of the New Testament, (pub. at intervala, in
deven volumea,) on Job, Isaiah, and Daniel. The notes
apon the New Teatament have been very eztenaively cir-
enlated among Sunday-school teachera, and others, and
form one of the moat useful instrumentalities in the Scrip-
tural edneation of the young. With the doctrinal views
of the author we hare here nothing to do : it is however
bat justice to others to remark that many of the eminent
genUemen whose favourable opiniona of Mr. Bamea we
■hall qnoto below, do not coincide with his views in ieve-
lal important points.

" Mr. Barnea'a atyle Is plain, simple, and direct; and thouib his
yages teem with the materiel of deep scholarehlp, yet he Is, for the
■eat part, eminently happy In making himself IntelllKlIile and
MansUng to areiy daaa; while the rich practical mnarlu, every

ToMonal spirit of the writer Into the tnaom of his reader."— >i>i«r.

OSD' yoang people." — Cahffrvffational MagoMiKt,

Of the same work the Ber. Jamea Hamilton remarks ;

"Judging from that spacimsn I cannot but rqMce In tbe popn-
larity and extenalTe dreulation of the work, [nis Notes on the
Rew Testament.] The notes are simple, direct, and satisftctory ;
the prodoetton of a mind clear, fVesh, and fUmlalud with abun-
daat learning, which la not ostentations ofitaelf "

D.D., remarks :

"The Notes of Albert Barnes, practical and explanatory, on the
Raw Testament, possess great exeellenee. They give within a
rwapass the rssults of extensive reading and of much
^; and they generaUy bring out tbe sense of the text with
■ass and dree."- Ae. mBtos Undmiy, D.D, Pnf. Bit. OrM-
etta, U. P. aimad.

"Barnes nu many excellencies aa a commentator. Ills Indns-
^ is gieat, and he has made a <hM but not nnUr use of all avail-
*Ue smsieea of Infcrmation. Possessed naturally of a dear and
vkotneM underataading, hia o^nlons are unlfcrmly expressed In
a DrieC peispkuons manner. He has a singular ftcDIty In draw-
hog practical conclusions from the doetrinaf statements and hls-
toflal Incidents of the Scripture. They are distinguished by good
sense and piety; they are natural without beinx obvious; and
SAsn so striking and pointed as to partake of the chancier of
•rtglnallty.''- Jin. N. HeMUkofd, Pnf. af&da. HiM. U. P. Sfmtd.

" I have psmasd a considerable portion of Barnes's Notes on ths

' he has undertaken, that he needs no further reccomiendatloB. I

of all peraons who are engaged as mlsslonariee or teachera of the
young." — R€e. WiUiam BrtxA-j Btonmtburj/t LorttUm.

" I consider Barnes's Note* on the New Testament to be one of

the most valnable boons bestowed In theee latter days on the

Church of Christ. Tbe persplcncmB and forcible manner in whidi

he presents the sense of Scriptnra, and the decidedly practical

bearing with which he uniTersally Invests his expositions, cannot

All to recommend the work to all persons of enlightened and

' vlgorons piety." — Fev. X. Sntdenon, />./>., XotHfon.

I mendatlon fbr their general stmpUrity and practical nsef^lnsaa.

Tbey are of such a deecriptlcm that they may be read with Interest

' and profit by a.n.'—Hn. Alex. BUI, DJ>., Prof. nfDMfitf in tlu

I Univertity of Glasgow.

" Tfaere are some peculiar excellencies In Barnes, and these ara
such, and so Important, as to give his book special claims on our
' attention and gratitude. The clearness and simplicity of his ex-
position, his devotional spirit, and his practical remarks, greatly
enhance his conunentary. — Jim. Jamee Morgan^ D.D., BetfatL

" His style Is generally plain and persplcnouH, hot where occa-
sion olfers, ener^ic and effective." — Rev. H. Cooke, DJ>, LLJ?,
Bdfatt.

"Tbe primaij design of Barnes's Commentary on ths New Tes-
tament, Is to nimish Sunday-school teachers with a ^In and
simple explanation of the mora ccnumon difflcnltles of iToie hook
which It Is their province to tesch. For this purpose It Is admi-
rably adapted ; and If It be eareftiUy pemsod by the Interesting
class of beneikotora Ibr whose advantage ii is Immediately In-
tended, It cannot fldl, under the divine blessing, greatly to ad-
vance their effldenoy and useftilness." — Bet. David King, LLJ),
United Prab. Chttrch, Cflatgoto.

The above opinions, which are all connected with eom-
mendations of Blaokie A Son's (Glasgow, Edin., and Lon.)
edition, with supplementary notes, are the more to be
prixed, aa each one of the divines cited objects to some of
Mr. Barnes's doctrinal views. Tbe supplementary notes
are intended, and by these genUemen accepted, as correct-
ives to this real or supposed want of soundness in the faith.
We subjoin an expression of opinion from a very diatin-
gniahed authority :

" Bamea is an admirable commentator. The ease and vigour of
bis style; the clear and natural manner In which he elicits the
sense of the text; the point, variety, and Imprcsslvenesa of hto
practical leOectionB, and tlie evangelical splrft which pervades the
whole, combine to render him deaervedly populai.'^Aee. Mm
Hurrit, DJ>, AvQhor qf Uammm, cte.

" Mr. Bamea has attained to Jnst celebrity both In America and
England, as a sound and Judicious expositor of Holy Scripture,
nia comments on Isaiah, on the Ocspels, on tbe Acts of the Apos-
tle*, and on the Bpisils to the Romans, have all enhanced his
credit as ' a scribe well Instructed In the mystariss of the king-
dom.' As an Interpreter of the word of Ood, he Is rsnsrkablyfkes
from vague hypothesis and haxardons speculatkm."— Lon. JSe. if.

Barnes, Bamaby, b. about 1569, was younger son
to Dr. Bamea, Bishop of Durham, He became a student
of Braaenoae College in 1586, and left without a degree.
In 1591, according to Dr. Bliaa, (Athen. Oxon., edit. 1816,)
he aeoompanied the Barl of Essex into France. He re-
liered hia military duties by writing sonnets, Ac.

Parthenopbil and Parthenope. Sonnettes, Madrigals,
Elegies, and Odes. The Printer's Address is dated May,
1593 ; see an account of this volume in Beloe's Anecdotes,
vol. ii. pp. 77-79. Many of the Sonnettes are inscribed to
Henry, Earl of Southampton ; the most vertnous, learned,
and bevrtifuU Ladie Marie, Conntesae of Pembrooke; to
the right vertuoue and most bowtiflill, the Lady Strangne.
The Lady Brigett Manners, Ao. Neither Wood nor Watt
seem to have known any Uiing of this book. A copy in
the Bib. Anglo-Poet, is priced £30. The opening sonnet
is in a very pious strain :

" Thy wounds, my Cure, deare SanlonrI I dedre
To peaice my thoughts I thy fletle CheruUnne,

«ashire family, studied for some time at Oxford,

" But being always in aaisM CbMcUau, he left it and hia coun-
iiy, and going Into Spain, was Instructed In Philosophy and Dl-
yUMf by the fiunons Doctor J. Alp. Cnriel, who waa wont to call
Bsmss by the name of John Hues, because of a spirit of contra-
diction which was always observed In him." — Wood.

Id 1625, at whioh period he was one of the confessors
of the Abbey of Chelles, he pub. a work against mental
reservation, entitled Dissertatio contra eqoivoeationes,
Paris ; a French trans, was pub. at the same time. Theo-
pbnqs Raynaud attempted to answer this book in 1627.
In the same year, Barnes wrote Catholioo-Romanns Faci'-
lions: an edition was pub. at Oxford in 1680; part of it
had lieen before made use of by Dr. Basire in his Ancient
liilMrty of the Britannic Church. He also wrote an an-
swer to Clement Reyner's Apostolatns Benedictinomm in

Anglia. Wood tells ns that "This learned penon being a'
very moderate man in his opinion, and deeply sensible by
his great reading and observation of several corruptions
of the Romish Church and Doctrine, which partly were
expressed in his Discourse, but mostly in a book which he
wrote, called Catholioo-Romanns Pacificns," Ac. Barnes
was seised in Paris, " was carried ont IVom the midst of
that city by force, was divested of his habit, and like s
four-footed bmte, was in a barbarons manner tied to a
horse, and violently harried away into Flanders." He
eaeapedfrom prison alMschlin, but was retaken and thrown
into a priaon of the Inquisition, where be died after thirty
years' confinement Wood repels with scorn the stoiy of
Barnes's insani^ whilst in prison :

** Certain fleitse people at Rome, being not contented with hia
Death, Irave endeaTOnred to extinguish his Fame, boldly publish-
ing tbat he died distracted."

Barnes, Joshna, 1654-1712, a learned divine, and
professor of Greek at Cambridge, was a native of London.
He was educated at Christ's Hospital, where his early pro-
ficiency in Greek was the subject of remark. In 1671 be
was admitted a servitor in Emanuel College, Cambridge,
was elected fellow in 1678, and in 1686 took the degree of
B.D. In 1 695 he was chosen Greek professor of the Uni-
versity of Cambridge. In his 15th year he pub. a collec-
tion of English poems, and was interested at an early age
in several other works. He gave to the world in 1675,
Gerumia, or a New Discovery of a little sort of People,
called Pigmies. In the next year appeared his poetical
paraphrase of the History of Esther, which had been for
a long time in preparation. Select Discourses appeared in
1680. In 1688 was pub. The History of that most victo-
rious monarch, Edward ITT. The author has imitated
Thucydides in potting long speeches into the mouths of
his characters. Nicolson remarks :

** Above all, Mr. Joshua Barnes has diligently eollficted whatever
was to be had, &r and near, upon the several panagea of this great
Ktng'sielgn. RisquotationBarenuny; andgenetally.hisauuiorw
are as weU chosen aa such a multitude can be supposed to hava
been. His infgrenoes are not always becoming a statcnnan ; and
sometimes his digressloiia are t«diona. Ilis deriving of the Ikmona
institution of the Garter from tlie PlKenicians, is extremely oblig-
ing to good Hr. Sammee ; but came too late. It seems, to ur. ASh-
mue's knowledge, or otherwise would have bid fidr for a cboiee poet
of honour In his elaborate book. In short this industrious author
seema to have driven his work too ftst to Vbe press, befbre he had

Erovided an index, and some other accoutrements, which might
ave rendered it more serviceable to his readen." — EtigliMh JBiuito-
rtoal Library,

The want of an index ! How often have we groaned
over indexUm books ! How often have we been obliged to
do for ourselves what the witless author would not do for
ns — and make an index to his book I His edition of Euri-
pides, dedicated to Charles, Duke of Somerset was pub. in
1694. In 1705 appeared his Anaoreon, dedicated to the
Duke of Marlborough ; and in 1701 he pub. an edition of
Homer : the Hiad dedicated to the Earl of Pembroke, and
the Odyssey to the Earl of Nottingham. He vrrote many
other treatises, a list of which, including those which he
had published, and those which he contemplated giving to
the world, will be found prefixed to the edition of his Ansk-
oreon, pub. in 1705. We here find enumerated no less than
43 works ! His facility in writing and speaking Greek was
remarkable. Be tells us in the parody of Homer, prefixed
to his poem on Esther, that he could oompose sixty Greek
verses in an hour. He also avows in the preface to Esther
that he found it much easier to write bis annotations in
Greek than in Latin, or even in English, " since the orna-
ments of poetry are almost peonliar to the Greeks, and
since he had for many years been extremely eonversant in
Homer, the great father and source of the Greek poetry."
He could off-hand turn a paragraph in a newspaper, or a
hawker's bill, into any kind of Greek metre, and has been
often known to do so among his Cambridge friends. Dr.
BenUey used to say of Barnes that he "understood as
much Greek as a Greek cobbler :" meaning donbUess by
this that he had rather the " colloquial readiness of a vulgar
mechanic," than the erudition, taste, and judgment af a
scholar. The inscription soggested for his monument-
first used by Menage in his satire upon Pierre Montmaor.—
we think too profane for repetition. The Greek Anacreon-
Uqaos written for his monument have i>een thus translated
" Kind Barnes, adom'd by evsry Uusb^

In 1589 he pub. The Encomium of Lady Pecunia, or

thia reaaon we have given him a place in our volume. He
left his native country to avoid persecution, being a Pro-
testant, and was received into the family of Lonl Trea-
surer Burleigh. Upon the invitation of Dr. Pierce he
settled at Cambridge, and there entered himself a student
of Trinity College. In 1575 be was appointed successor
to Dr. John Still as Margaret professor of divinity. His .
doctrine did not give satisfaction to some of bis hearers,
and he was involved in a number of controversies. Some
went so far as to think that he was acting a traitor's part
at Cambridge; designing to sednoe those under his in-
fluenoe to the Roman Catholic Chnrch.

thought, that as a oertaln Spaxiard named Ant Coiranus was

Bei^amin Sbute, of London. Francis Barrington, of the
ancient house of Barrington in Essex, who had married
his eousin-german, Elisabeth Shute, settled upon him his
estate in Essex, and, by act of parliament, Mr. Bhntc was
permitted to assume the name and arms of Barrington.
He was diatingoiahed at an early age for his talent and

Barrow, Isaac, D.D., 1630-1677, an eminent mathe-
matician and divine, was bom in the city of London. His
fitther was linen-draper to Charles L, whom he followed
to Oxford. After the decapitation of his king, he (Tho-
mas Barrow) attended Charles IL in his exile, and oon-
tinned with him till the Reatoration. His brother, Isaac
Barrow, nncle to the snbject of oar memoir, was made
Bishop of the Iile of Man. The early youth of Isaac
Barrow waa unpromising. At the Charter-House School
he waa remarkable for an uncommonly belligerent dispo-
sition, and dealt as hard blows to hia achoolfellowa as he
afterwards directed at the Supremacy of the Pope. His
father, wearied with the exercise of unavailing discipline,
intimated that the loss of the young warrior would not bo
a heart-breaking affair, by expressing the opinion that if
it pleased Providence to remove any of his children, Isaac
eonld be the tiest spared trom the group. Placed at school
at Felstead in Eaaex, laaao suddenly assumed a new cha-
racter;— that of a diligent, persevering student. In 1S4S
he was admitted a pensioner of Peterhonse, Cambridge,
and two years later entered Trinity College. A Latin
oration displeasing some of the Fellows, Dr. Hill, the
maater, replied to their complaints, " Barrow is a bettor
man than any of us." The writings of Lord Bacon, Des
Cartes, Galileo, and other profound philosophers, were
now his farourite study. In 1649 he commenced B.A. ;
in 1652 he proceeded M.A. ; and in the same year was
incorporated in the same degree at Oxford.

He thought at this time of becoming a physician, and
■tadied anatomy, botany, and chemistry. Shortly, how-
ever, he resumed the study of divinity. In 1655 he started
on a continental tour. The vessel in which he was a pas-
senger being attacked by an Algerine corsair, Barrow as-
sumed carnal weapons, and fought manfully until the pirato
was driven off. As we have seen he had a strong natural
inclination for hostilities, perhaps he was not sorry for
this opportunity of once more taking up tbe cudgels in a
lawfU combat. This voyage and combat Barrow has re-
corded in a long poetical narrative in hexameter and pen-
tameter verse. At Constantinople he read through the
works of Ghrysostom ; this city having been the diocese
of the " golden-mouthed" bishop. It was reasonably ex-
pected at the time of the Restoration that Barrow would
have received immediate preferment; but the profligate,
nngnteful monarch, when in the possession of wealth and
power, was too mnch sank in sensuality and criminal in-
dolenoe, to make any exertions for the benefit of those
who had aided him in the day of adversity. The Egyp-
tian butler is the type of too many in this world, — " yet did
he not remember Joseph, but forgat him." It was at this
time that Barrow wrote bis celebrated epigram :
" Te magls optavit. redltnrum. Carole, nemo,

Et nemo sensit, is ledisse minus."
" Thy restoration, Royal Charles, I see,
By none more wished, by none lees telt, than me."

In 1660 he was chosen profeasor of Greek at Cambridge.
In 1662 he received the appointment of Professor of Geo-

metry, in Gresham College. In 1609 he felt it his doty to
apply himself to his profession as a divine. " At his or-
dination he had rowed to serve God in the gospel of bis
Son, and he eonld not make a Bible ont of Euclid, nor a
pnlpit out of his mathematical obair. His only redress
was to quit them both." He therefore resigned bis pro-
fessorship at Gresham College to his friend, the afterwards
illustrious Isaac Nswtoh. In 1670 be was created doctor
of divinity, by royal mandate, and in Feb., 1672, he was
promoted to the Mastership of Trinity College, the king
observing that he had bestowed it upon " the best scholar
in England." In 1675 he was chosen vice-chancellor of
his university. The life of this great man was now draw-
ing to a close. In April, 1677, he was attacked by a fever,
in London, which terminated fatally on the fourth of May
following. As a mathematician, Barrow undoubtedly oc-
cupies a very high station, although there is a difference
of opinion as to the exact position which it is proper to
assign to him. Dr. Pemberton remarks, "Ho may be
esteemed as having shown a compass of invention equal,
if not superior, to any of the modema, Sir Isaac Newton
only excepted." It must be remembered that it was at
the early age of thirty-two he was chosen professor of
geometry ; which he resigned seven years later. Bad he
felt it consistent with his higher obligations, to eontinna
his mathematical researches, it is impossible to predict
the progress he might have made in science.

*' On Oeometry, as a platform, he paved the way, with Us theory
of Inflnltesimal, tbr the discovery of the Fluxumal and DUfer.
ential Calculi, bv Newton and Lelbnlts. Banow originated the
Idea of what baa been called the incnmemial triangle, and aliDwed

mar be taken so small that Jt may, In calculation be considered as
a straight line. This notion, although one which the ndnd readily
admits, la utterly untrue, and contiadletory to the first priiftefplcs
of geonietry. . . Barrow Is the author of a work whSeh, in the eyes
of sober-minded mathematicians, will always be as daaslcaUy dear

His English Theological works collected, first sppeaied
in 3 vol?., folio, in 1685, published under the superintand-
ance of Dr. Tillotson and Abraham Ball ; several edits.,
last in 1741. The Opuscuia were first published in 1687,
Hia mathematical works appeared: Euclidis Elemata,
Cantab., IS55; Euclidis Data, Cantab., 1675; Lectiones
Option, Lon., 1669; Lectiones Geometxica, Lon., 1670;
Archimedis Opera ; Apollonii Conicorum, Libri IV. ; Theo-
dusii Sphaerica, Lon., 1675. The following were published
after his death : Lectio de Bphsora et Cylindro, Lon., 1678 ;
Lectiones Hathcmaticn, 1783.

The English works were republished at the Clarendon
Press in 1818, 6 vols. 8vo ; again, Oxford, 8 vols. 8vo. Two
edits, have been pub. with the Opuscuia (first printed in
1687) added. The one edited by the Rev. T. S. Hughes, in 7
vols. 8vo, omits the greater part of Barrow's learned quo-
tations. The other, edited by the Rev. James Hamilton,
Edin., 1842, 3 vols. 8vo, "is complete and correcUj
printed." — DarKng't Cye, BiH,

Three years later (t. e. in 1845) an excellent edit was
pub. by Mr. John C. Riker of New York, 3 vols. 8vo.
This contains all of the works of Barrow, save his mathe-
matical compositions, which are of little ase to the gene-
ral reader. Biographical notices from Hill, Hamilton, ko,
are prefixed, and copious indexes add greatiy to the valnn
of this creditable edition.

Barrow was a man of great wit. His description of
fhcetiousness has been quoted by Addison, and was consi-
dered by Dr. Johnson the finest thing in the language.
We quote an instance of his ready wit: Meeting the Eari
of Rochester one day, the witty peer exclaimed, " Doctor,
I am yours to the shoe-tie ;" to which the clergyman re-
plied, " My lord, I am yours to the ground." The peer
r^oined, " Doctor, I am yours to the centre." " My lord,"
retorted the Doctor, " I am yours to the antipodes." Deter-
mined not to be outdone, hie lordship blosphcmoasly added,
" Doctor, I am yours to the lowest pit of hell ;" on which
Barrow turned on hia heel, and said, " And (Aer«, my lord,
I leave yon." Here was true wit^ and something much
better than wit ; — a reproof to a scorner. Of his humanity,
we have the following instance on record :

" Walking about the premlsos of a friend In the evening, be
was attacked by a fleroe mastiff, vhlch was left unchained at night,
and bad not become acquainted with the doctor's person. He
struggled with the dog, and threw falm down ; but when on the
point of strangling him, he reflected that the aahnat was oely
doing his duty In seising a stranger; flxr wUcb, thesefese, he did
not deserve to die. As he durst not loose his hold, lest the dog
should nclxe and tear him, he laid himself down on the animal,
and there remained ttll some one came to his SBslstanoa*

Whon Barrow presented himself with othws for exami-
nation, as a eaodidate for the miniatrj, he gare the follow-
ing proof of his remarkable readiness. The oM prelate
proceeded to satisfy himself in a summary way, of the
candidates' qoalifications, *'by addressing in turn to es^h
one, three test questions. COmmeneing with the first, he
asked ' Q^id. eae fidei^ V to which each answered in turn.
Barrow stood last, and when the bishop addressed to him
the question, ' Quid eH Jtdea V he received the prompt
reply, ' Qwad nan eidtee.' The- Bishop was a scholar,
although age had somewhat benumbed his energy. On
leeelring this answer, he raised himself in his efaair, and
looking from whenoe the answer proceeded, gave vent to his
satisfaction in the exclamation *Exeellent«r He then
eommenoed hia second roand, interrogating each in torn,
as before ' Quid ttt spet f to whioh Bsirrow promptly

joined the gratified Bishop, and proceeded to his last ques-
tion, ' Quid tmt earitaa f* From the others he receired

At the time of his appointment to the Mastership of
Trinity College, inflnenee the most powerful was ready to
fiirther his claims, if necessary.

Another intimBte friend. Dr. Pope, tells as,

** He was of a healtiiy constitution, uaed no exercise or fdiyrie,
herfdes — ofcing tobaeoo^ fai wfaieta be waa not sparing, saying it
wna aa saitar omntuMt or panp/uirmaeom. He waa unmerdAUly

otker proper utensils iir that purpoee. I hare frequently known
hlsB, after Us first sleep, rise, light, and after bamlng out Us eaoh
dto, rstom to bed beftve day."

His distingnished friend. Archbishop Tillotson, is not a
wfait behind Abraham Hill In his oonunendation of our
diviae :

^Of all the men I erer had the happiness to know, he was the
ftvest from offending In word, coming aa near aa Is possible ftn- hu-
■aan ftalltr to do, to the perfect Idea of St. James, bis perfeel man."

The names of tike two flriends are thus beantiftilly united
by Thomeoa;

It made Httle matter where he dwelt— Ibr If he had not fHends
beAre Um he soon could make them, and he always carried good
wfakas aki^ with htm.**— Haiouor.

Having thus largely oon^dered the eharaeter of this ez-
eellent man, it is proper that we should speak more parti*
eularly tiian we hare yet done of those great works of his
whieh hare ever be«k ranked among the most remarkabla
prodnetioni of the human mind.

Hontada, in his Histotre dee Mathematiqnes, An. VII..
torn. II., p. 88, is full of "admiration" and "enchantment^
when be speaks of the fertility of ideas and the multitade
of new and eurions theorems ** de oe aavant gftomdtee."
The Treatise on the Pope's Supremacy would of itself hare
placed Barrow in the first class of seholars and controrer-
sialists. This be did not lire to publish.

** The state of his maauscript, preserved In Trinity College L^
bmry, indicates the prodigious pains which he had bestowed upon
It, chiefly in the oompUaUon of authorities. As It Is, no one can
open It at any page without being struck by Its amaxlng research.
\(*t Barrow was not satlRfied with what he bad already qnoted.
Many confirmatory passages were stUt In his mind, for the Insoi^
tlon of which he bad left blank spaces at the time. When on his
death-bed. he placed the whole lo the hands of Dr. Tillotson, Bay-
ing, * I hope tt Is IndlfliBrent perfect, thontch not altogether as T in-
tended it, If Ood had granted me longer \ifa,* Had he falmBoIf not
Indicated those omissions, no one oould bare detected then."—
Uahiltoh.

Archbishop Tillotson obsorres :

" No argument of moment, nay hardly any consideration pr>
perly belonglna to it. hath eecaped Us large and comprehenslTe
mind. He hath said enough to silence the controversy IbreTer,
and to deter all wise men, of hoth sides, from meddling any fnr-
ther witb it"

Hamilton remarks: "What the Archbishop has said
about its aryHmcnte is equally true of its teMtimouie*."

'* We can imagine nothing wbersunto to liken the glorinus work
of Barrow, but the ml;;hty telescope of Ileracbel — an loNtrument
which brings up. IVom the abyss of space, a countless multitude
of luminarlea, which bid themselves mm the search <rf unassisted
vinlon. kren so does the gigantic labour of Barrow call opfnmt the
depths of antiaulty a galaxy of witnesses, who pass over our field
of view in perfect order and distinctness, and shed a broad and
steady fllnmlnatlon over the path of the Inquirer." — Brititk CVitfc.

" Barrow, not so extensively learned aa Taylor, who had read
rather too much, but Inferior, perhaps, even in that respect to
hardly any one elaa, and above nlm In closeness and strength of
reasoning, combated against Rome in many of his sermons, and
eepedally In a long treatise on papal supremacy. . . . The sermons
of Barrow display a strength of mind, a eomprebendveness and
fertility, which WaTe rarely been ennalled. No better proof can be
given than his eight lennons on the government of the tongoe;
copious and exbanstlvo, without tautology or superfluous decia*
m&tlon, they are in moral preaching what the beet parts of Ari»
totle are In etiiical philosophy, wiih more of dereiopment and
more extenrive observation. . . . Hb quotations from ancient phW
looopbers, though not so numerous as In Taylor, are equally un-
oongenlal to our eara. la his style, notwithstanding Its richness
and occasional vivacity, we may censure a redundanqj and excess
of apposition : his language Is more antkiuated and formal than
that of bis age ; and bo abounds too much In uncommon words of
lAtin derivation, frequently such as appear to have no authority
but his own. His Latin veiee Is forcible and AjU of mind, but not
sufllclently redolent of antiquity.** — Ualuim.

Chas. IL used to call Barrow an

*^ Uafelr preacher, because be exhausted erery tople, and Mt ne
room Ibr any thing new to be said by any one who came after him."

Similar to this is tbe critioism of Le Clero:

" Les sermons de cet Autenr sont plutAt des Tralt^s, ou les Die-
sertatlottee exactes. que de simples Harangues ponr plaira k la
multitude."— JU&. Vnirfradle. tome ill. p. S26.

Dr. Pope, his intimate friend, had anticipated this cri-
tique.

** He thought he had not said enough. If he omitted any thing
that belonged to the sutfject of hhi dlawurse; so that his sermons
Kerned rather complete treatises, than orations designed to be
spoke In an hour."

Coleridge complains that

" Barrow often debased hie language merely to evidence bis loy>
alty. It was. Indeed, no eaqy task for a man of so much genlusi
and such a precise mathematical mode of thinking, to adopt, even
for a moment, the slang of L'Estrange and Tom Brown ; but he
succeeded In doing so sometimes. WHh the exception of such arte,
Barrow must be considered as oioslng tbe flntt great period of the
£nrrllsh language. Dryden began the seoood.**

We must not forget the commendation of ttie X«eotiones
Opticas, oonreyed in a letter of James Gregory, the Scot-
tish Mathematician, to John Collins. Beveral years after
publication, Barrow had heard of only two men who bad
given them a careful perusal, — Slusius of Liegf^ and James
Glregory ; the latter thus writes :

"Mr. Barrow Inhlaoptfeks sheweth hhnaelf emoet subtile ge-
ometer, BO that I think him superior to anr that ever I looked
upon. I long exceedingly to see his Otmnehioal Lecture$j espe-
cnily because I have some notions upon that snbfect by mee. T
entreat you to send them to mee presently, as they come fVom tbe
preeaa, for I esteem the author more than yea can toegins."

The author informs ns tiiat the publication of these Lec-
tures was urged by hia pnpil, the afterwards illustrions
Isaae Newton. "D. Isaaccb Nbwtoit, Collkoa ifoSTsn,
FnRBORKOLA TIB iivnoLis AO xKSiojfis PSRmjB," had re-
vised the text, and not only suggested some mnreotions,
hat sapplied some important additious from bis own stora.

thus distin^ishes them :

** Of snch a triumrirate, who shall settle the pre-eminenoe? The
first awes most, the second couTlnoee most, the third doll/hts and

ersuades most ... To Barrow, the praise must be assigned of
» doeest and clearest riews, and of a taste the moat oontroUed
and ehaatened.**

The Rer. E. Biokersteth adds,

" Hooker waa more correct in doctrine, Barrow meet ftill In

firacUcal Instruction, and TWylor most rich in dcTOtlonal eomposl-
ion. . . . The powers of Barrow*smtnd were of the highest order;
and In his sermons on the pas^n of Christ, and on his Incarna-
tion, we hare very able statements of the fundamental truths of
the gospel ; and his treatise on the Pope's Sapremacy has been
■aid to be the most valuable on that topic In the English language.
In hla sermons on Faith there are some magnificent passages; but
there are others in which we cannot concur, though he dliitinctly
aeknowledgea It to be a fruit of the Bplrit . . . Uli Sermons on
Industry are admirable as comprehending a reiy Taluable nuus
of weighty and Important motives fbr Industry In general, and In
our callings as Chnstians, sebolara, and genUemen. It la a book
which may be read through more than once wUh much advantage ;
almost erery topic relating to the sut^fect seems dleeussMl, and al-
most erery text quoted, but we see not evangelical motives fully
developed. ... In such a sermon as his on the Passion, we are
gUd to sit at his ftet and loam the very best lessona."

Kobt Hall, in his Review of GLsbome*8 Sermons, refers
to the

" Extraordinary merits of Barrow, who has cultivated Christian
morals with so universal an applaose of the English public We
admire, as moeh as It is possible for our readers to admire, tho rich
invention, the masculine sense, the exuberantly ooploas, yet pre-
dsB and energette dletlon, which dtotlngolsh Barrow, who, by a rare
fbllcitv ofgenlus, united In hlmsdf tike meet distinguishing quali-
ties of the mathenatietan and the orator. We are astonlRhed at
pereelviug In the same person, and In the same composition, the
close logic of Aristotle, combined with the amplifying powera of
Plato."

We find an admirable notice of Barrow in Dngald Stew-
ards Prelim. Diss, to the Eneyol. Britannica :

** Among the divines who appeared at thla era. it is Impomdble to
pass orer In idlenee the name of Barrow, whose tbeologkid works,
(adorned throughout by classical erudition, and by a vigorous,
niougb unp<dlshed,eloqnence,)exhlblt, in every page, n^rka of the
some InvenUve genius which in mathematics has secured to him
a rank second alone to that of Newton. As a writer, he is equally
dIstlngulBhed by the redundancy (rf^bls matter, and by the pregnant
IneTl^ frf his expression: but what mora peculiarly characterises
his manner, Is a certain air of powerful and of consdoos fiwillty
In the execution of whatever he undertakes. AVhetherthe sul^ect
be matbematicaL metaphyskxl, or theological, he always seems to
bring to it a mind whien feels itself superior to the occasion ; and
which in contending with the greatest dlfflcnlttes, ' puts forth but
half Its strength.'"

Professor Playfair lands onr author's

"Lectures on Optics, delivered at Cambridge In IMfl, whkh
treated of all the more dlfllrult questions which had occurred In
tiiat state €f the erlenee, with the acutaness and depth which are
Ibnnd In all the writings of that geometvr."

"No man that reads Br. Barrow on any suTJect whirh he has
handled, need rack bis Invention for topics upon which to apeak,
or for arguments to make these topics good." — Da. Worrox.

** He pushes Us Inquiries to the very verge or confines of which
they are capable of being pushed ; and his works afford a sort of
logical Encyclopedia. He had the clearpst head with wbirh ma-
thematics ever endowed an Individual, and one of the purest and
most nnsophistleatad hearts that ever beat"

" Barrow'R Sermons are too well known to require description.
For proftindlty of thought and fertility of Invention, for bold and
majestic language, for peculiar beauty and propriety of description,
tor great straugth of argument, and ingenious and sprijchtly ex-
pression, they are perhaps unrivalled In the English language, w
u any othar.**

"Dr. Barrow's Sermons are master-pleese of the kind." — hocKK

Bishop Warbnrton remarked that " In reading Barrow,
he was obliged to think." The groat Earl of Chatham,
when in early life qaalitying himself for public speaking,
Teftd Barrow's Sermons again and again, till he oould recite
many of Ibmn mewtoriier. He recommended his son, Uie
younger Pitt, to study them iVeqnently and deeply. It
WAS probably the example of theee great men which caused
the late Daniel Webster, one of tiie most prominent of
American statesmen, to be so firequent a reader of theee
extraordinary speolmens of reasoning, eloquence, profnn-
4it7f And perspienity; eombinlng &e keenness of the
Ul

Damasens blade with the weight of the Highland clay-
more.

We do not wonder that infidelity waa put to rent, and
the enemy abashed by the publie exposure of thewortUess-
ness of the armour wherein he tmsted.

"In Barrow we shall lemark the deliberate spedeo ui ekjqnenoe
existing in the highest fnce. ... If we look for a manly and fai^
vid eloquence, for a mighty and auatalned power, kept under cod>
trol by tbo severest logic, for a peculiar quality of mastery and
vigour to which all tasks sppear equally easy, we may point with
pride to the writings of Barrow. Be is an admirable specfasen of
a class of men who fortunately for the political, the iKerary, and
the theological glory of England, have adorned her two great seats
of learning, Oxford and Csmbridge, at almost every period of her
history. Possessed of vast, scdid, and diversified learning, with

Sraetloe and experience In the aflUrs of real life corrected and ren>
ered philosophical by retirement and medltattou, with the Intense
and concentrated industry of the monk, guided by the sense of
utility of the man of the world, these rigorous scholars eeem pe*
rull^y adapted by Providence to become firm and m^estic pillars
of Buch an ecdedastieal establishment as the Chnr^ of England,
* Blessed Is she' — we may venture to apply the words of 8cnptnrB
— * for ahe has her quiver ftiU of them."'— iVq/l Shatt^t OuUmeg qf
Snglith Literatyrt.

"He once uttered a most memorable ofaservatkm, which charao-
terixea both the Intellectual and moral eonstitntlon of Us mind —
would that it could be engraven on the atdnd of ereiy youth, as
bis guide through life—* A sTaAioBT uxi u thb sBoarssff ix Moaau
AS wux AS ZH OBOMcrmT.' " — Onvlanif r Camp, of Sufi. IsL

In an article in the Quarterly Review, toL xxix., on
Pulpit Eloquence, we hare a rety satisfactory explanation
of the exhauative character of Barrow's Sermons, which
was referred to by Chas. IL when he called him an " unfair
preacher."

*' At the Bestoiatlon, men's minds were weary of religions, as
well as drtl, turbulence ; the country had been so long distracted
by the multiplicity of sects, all equally fierce and Intolerant, that
repoae was the prevailing wish of almost all parties. Tborewas
wan ted, therefore, a writer, wbo^ as It wmv, once for all, should search
every question to the bottom with laborious impartiality ; who
should lay It In all Its possible bearings before the understanding ;
who should not merely oonfiite every error, but trace ft to its ori-
gin, and detect Its secret operation on the mind; who should, in
short, exhaust as it were, tlwology. Such a preadksr was Barrow.
Kndowed with an acutenese wblut could penetrate ewy sut^Jeet,
with a nicety and precision of definition mote neariy approaching
than any other modem, exomt perhaps Bacon, to Aristotle; with
a copiousness and variety of lal^plage, which enabled him to con-
vey to the mind with tiw utmost perspienity the most minnta dil^
ferenoes; Barrow added to all this some of the yet unextlngnlshed
warmth which had animated his predaceaeors, and is oocaakmally
glowing, vehement, impassioned.*

The following eloquent ealoginm on onr author is fh>m
the same able periodical :

*' Never may the English student of theology be weary of tho
study of Barrow t The greatest man of our church — the express
Imago of her doctrines and spirit — the model, (we do not hcKltate
to say It,) without a fliult — a perfect master of the art of reasontug,
yet aware of the limits to which reason should be confined, now
wielding It with the authority of an angel, snd now again stooping
it before the deep things of God with the humility of a child—
alike removed fVom the Puritan of his own generation, and the
Batlonallflt of the generation which succeeded htm — no precisian,
no latltudlnarian : full of flilth, yet fVee ftom superstition, a stead*
fest bellorer in a particular Providence, In the pfllcacy of human

Srayers. In the artlve Influence of God's Spirit, but without one
>nch of the visionary :— Oonadous of the deep oormptkm of our
nature, though still Uklnking be could discover In it some traeaa
of Ood'a Image in mlns, and under a lively sense of the cons^
quences of this corruption, casting himself utooetber upon God'a
roerrr through the sufferings of s Saviour for the oonsummatton
of * that day which he desired with s stroi^t deeira to attain unto^
when, his mind purged, and his eye clear, be shonld be permitted
to belxdd and understand wlthont the labour and Interventkn of
slow and anocesalTe thought, not this onr ^stem aloue^ but more
and more excellent things than this.' "

We have devoted more space than we intended to the
works of this great man. But which of oar readers will
blame us ? Exalted as is our tbeme, it stands not upon its
own merits alone. Oreat as is the name of Barrow, it is
as but one of the lesser genii who annoances the coming
of one far mightier, before whom all subordinate powers
bow in lowly reverence. Barrow was the mosteonspienons
star that had arisen in that twilight dawning which pre-
ceded the full burst of a new day of scientific truth ; but
as the brightest star must pale before the glory of the suq
when he "goeth forth in nis strength,** so must the fame
of Barrow give place to the mighty name of Nbwto5.

In imagination we are carried some two centuries backf
and in the classioal halls of Trinity College we behold. In
studious converse, a tutor who softens the ansterity of in-
struetion with the benignity of parental interest, and a
pale-faced yonth, whose ductile mind gladly raoeives those
seeds of knowledge, which, by the richness of its soil, it shall
shortly reproduce, angmented a hundred fold. Yes .' here is
the " Isaac Newton of our college," as Barrow affeotionatety
styles him ; — '* peregregiss vir indolis ao insignis peritise."

to Sir George Staunton, who accompanied the Earl of

secretary to the Admiralty, he enjoyed peculiar advantages
for personal ol>servation and access to the recorded expe-
rience of others. Parry and Franklin have been much
indebted to the suggestions of Sir John Barrow, and most

Barry, Girald, naually caHed Giraldni Cam-
brensia, or Girald of Wales, was bom about 1146,
and is supposed to have died about the year 1223. Hia
father, William de Barri, was a powerful Norman baron,
his mother was a descendant of the princes of South Wales.
His education was completed at the University of Paris,
where he studied for three years, and proved his natural
genius and aaaiduity in study by his famous lectures on
rhetoric and polite literature Returning to England in
1172, he entered into holy orders, and obtained several
benefices in England and Wales. Upon the death of his
uncle, David Fitz-Oerald, Bishop of SL David's, who had
directed his early studies, the chapter made choice of Qi-
raldns as his successor ; but the opposition of King Henry

II. prerented this promotion. Hereupon Giraldns, in 1176,
returned to Paris, and renewed his studies In theology,
and in the eiril and canon law, pa3ring especial attention
to the decretals, or papal oonstitutioua In 1180 he again
Tiaited England, and in 1185, whilst acting as secretary
and privy counsellor to Prince (afterwards King) John,
who was at this time in Ireland, he commenced collecting

the materials for bia Topographia Hibemias, which ha
completed in 1187. In this year he read this work, the
three books, on three snceesaiva days, before a public audi-
ence at Oxford. Knowing that men are accessible in other
ways thai^ through love of letters, he gave sumptnons
entertainments one day to the poor of the town, the second
day to the doctors and scholars of celebrity, and the third
day to the scholars of lower rank, the soldiers, townsmen,
and burgesses.

Oiraldua la not at all too modest to inform us of bis unU
form success as a disputant, and of the marvellous eifeeta
of his eloquence. Bo great he assures ns was tbe latter,
that those who were ignorant of tbe Latin or French, in
which he addressed them, were still moved to tears by hij
orations I

In 1198 Peterde Leia, preferred by the ehoiee of Henry IL
to the biahoprie of St. David's, in place of Oiraldus, waa
removed by death, and again Oiraldus waa elected, but tlie
Archbishop of Canterbuiy refused to accept the nomina-
tion. The chapter again elected him, and OiraMus visited
Rome to plead on their behalf. The pope decided against
the bishop-elect in 1203, and Geoffrey de Uenlawe was
deeted Bishop of St. David's. Thus disappointed, he re-
nounced all ambitious hopes, and devoted himself to lite-
rary composition. When ovectuea war* made to him in
1215 to accept of the again vacant see of St. David's, ha
Judged it beat under the elreumatancas of the case to de-
cline all advances. He finished two of his most important
works, De Principis Instruotione, and the Speculum Eccle-
siss,in 1210, in which year be also revised a second edition
of the dialogues of tiie church of St. David's. Tanner
quotes a document which states that in 1223 the church
of Chesterton in Oxfordshire was vacant "by the death
of Master Q. de Barri," from which we presume this to
have been the date of his death. Oiraldus waa undoubt-
edly one of the brightest ornaments of bis ag«. <

" Noble in his birth, and comely In his person ; mild In his man-
nera, and aflable In his eonveraatlon ; aealoua, active, and un-
daunted In maintaining the riihta and dignities of his church;
moial in hia eharmoter, and ortbndoK In his prindplea; charitable
and dlsSntereated. though ambltlona; learned, though auperatl.
tioQs : such was Qlraldua. And. la whatever point of view we exa-
mine the character of thia extraordinary man, whether as a sch>
lar, a patriot, or a divine, we may justly consider him aa one of
the brigbtest luminariss that adorned the annals of tks twalfth
century."

80 writoa Sir Richard Colt Hoare, who, in 1806, pub. in
two splendid quarto volumes, the Itinerary of Archbishop
Baldwin- through Wales, a. D. 1188, by Oiraldus de Barri;
translated into English, and illustratod with views, anno-
tations, and a life of Oiraldua.

Oiraldus was a voluminona author : hia own list oon-
aista of

1. The Chronography and Cosmography in Latin hexa-
meters and pentameters. Not known to be in existence.
3. The Topographia Hibemise, in 3 books, printed Fnuia-
fort, 1602, and in HoUnshed. 3. The Expugnatio Hiber-
nise, aive Hiatoria Vaticinalis; an Account of the Normaa
Conquest of Ireland, being a sequel to the preceding work.

" The many Invectives contained In it agalnat Xrelaud, and the
natives of It, the Oibles with whk-h It abounded, and tlM gnaa
errors through the whole, alarmed many of the Irish, and aet ttaair
pena agoing."

Archbishop Usher's opinion is highly fhroorable :

" TImm AnUqultstnm, non Hibemhe solum suae, aed aliarum
ethun gentium sclentisalmum."

4. Legends of Saints. Some of theae lives have been
printed in Wharton's Anglia Sacra. 5. The Life of Oeof-
froy, Arehbisfaop of York. Printed by Wharton. Com-
piled in 1193. 6. Symbolum Eleotorum. Not printed.
7. Lii>er Inveotionum. 8. Speculum duorum commonitonui
etoonsolatorinm. Both of these books are auppoaed to be loat.
t, Oemma Scclesiaatica. 10. The Itineiwy of Cambria.
11. The Topographia Cambriss, in 2 books. The lat only
waa printed in the earlieat editiona. The 2d was fint
printed in the Anglia Saora. 13. De Fidei Fructu fldeli-
qoe Defectu; which is lost. 13. De Priocipis Instrae-
tione. 14. De Oestis Oiraldi Laboriosis. 15. DeJureet

The above (from Wright's Biog. Brit Lit) complete
Giraldus's own list; but the Speculum £cc^eetca, one of hia
latoat and moat remarkable produotiona, must be added.

eminent citisen of Philadelphia, by whom he had one son
and a daughter.

Edward Penington was a descendant of the celebrated
Isaac Penington of London, whose father was lord i^yor
in 1642. (See Pevixotoh, Isaac, in this volume.) His
fiunily at the present day, (1864,) after the lapse of two
eentwiea, is one of the first in America. From John Pen-
ington, Bsqv of Philadelphia, (grandson to the father-in-
law of Dr. Barton,) well known for his erudition and lite-
rary taste, we learn that the subject of our memoir was
taught to draw by M^or Andre, at the time a prisoner
of' war in Lancaster. See Pesikotov, John.

Dr. Barton united nntiring industry with great nataial
talents, a warm seal in scientiflo investigation, and nn-
oommon attainments in many branches of knowledge.
At the age of 16, Barton composed an Essay on the Vices
of the Times. Thus early did he assume the position of
a teacher I

Barton, Bernard, 1784-1849, often called Tbb
Quaker Poet, was bom in the vicinity of London. In

1810 he obtained a clerkship in the Messrs. Alexaoder'l
bank at Woodbridge, which situation he held for the rest
of his life. At one time he thought of resigning his post
and devoting himself entirely to literatore ; but his friend
Charles Lamb interposed a timely remonstrance.

Mr. Barton's first volume of poems was pub. in 181L
He wrote much, — his poems filling eight or nine volomee.
His Household Verses, a collection of his ftigitive piaoei^
pub. in 1845, "contain more of his personal fbelings than
perhaps any previous work of his pen." Mr. Barton was
remarkable for great amiability of manners, extensive in-
formation, and a refined taste in the arts. Of the English
drama his knowledge, as may be supposed, was limited :

" I am amused with your knowledge of our dnma being eca-
flned to ghakneare and Nlaa Baillls. What a worid of fine terri-
tory between land's End and Johnny Qroat's have yon missed
trarersinK I I could almost envy you to have so much to resd. . .
Oh, to fonset Fielding, Steele, kc, and read 'em acw /" — Chatia
Lamh to B. A, Dec 1S22.

Lord Byron thought highly of Barton's poetical talents,
but did not hesitate to pnmer the same advice which Lamb
had given :

" I think more highly of your poetical talents than It would
perliaps gratify yon to have expressed ; fbr 1 1)elleve, from what I
observe of your mind, that you are above flattery. To come
to tile point, yon deeenre success; but we knew bfrfOre Addlsoa
wrote lilB Cato, that desert does not always oommand It. But sn^
pose it attained,

' Yon know what Ills the author's life assail.
Toll, envy, want, the patron, and the jalL'
Do not renounce writing, but never trud entirely to anttorsA^.**—
Bynm to Barton, June, 1812.

**1 liave read your poems with much pleasure, those with most
which speak most of your own tbelings." — B. Souther to Barton,
Dec 1814.

In 1820 Mr. Barton requested Southey's opinion whether
the Society of Friends were likely to be olTended at hii
publishing a volume of poems. We give a short extraet
fVom Southey's reply ;

" I know one, a man deaerredly respected by all who know Um,
(Charles Lloyd the elder, of Birmingham,) wlio lias amused bisol4
age by tranidatinK Horace and Homer. He Is looked up to in ths
society, and would not baveprinted these tnnslatioui if he had
thought It likely to give c^nee. Judging, liowever, from the
epirit of the age, as aJTecting your society, like every thing else, I
should think they would be gratified by the appearance of a poet
among them who coofines himself within the limits of Uieir gene-
ral principles. . . . They will not like Tlrtnous feeling and reli-
gious principle the worse for being conveyed in good verse. If
poetry in itself were unlawfOl, the Bible must be a prohibited
ixiok. (See an amusing letter of Barton's to Sonihey, respeet-
ing the fitness of the latter to be the blograplier of Oeorge Fox.)

The volume appeared, and was highly commended :

** Tile stai^e of the whole poem Is description and meditatlou,^
description of quiet home seonery, sweetly and filellngly wrought
out; and meditation, orerahadowed with tenderness, and exalted
l^ devotion, — bnt all terminating in soothing, and even cheerfril,
views of the condition and prospects of mortality." — Aim. JSbv.

Wilson reviews Barton in vol. xii. of Blackwood :

** He possesaee much sensibility, and his mind has a strong tinge
of poetry. Every now and then he surprises us with glimpses of
something infinitely better than the general tone of his conoep.
tlons."

*' If we cannot oompliment Mr. Barton on being naturally a
great poet, he possesses feeling, has long studied his art, and baa
attained to a point of merit wlilch we did not anticipate."— £oii.
MonOdy jReviae, 1820.

" There is in Barton's poems a higher beauty than the beauty
of Ingenuity, and something of more worth than the exquisltenefiS
of workmanship. His works are f^li of passagM of natural ten-
derness, and his religious poems, though animated with a wannth
of devotkn, are still expressed with that subdued propriety of
lariguage, which evinces at once a correctness of tsste and feeling.'*
— Xm. OaLMaa.

X A man of a fine and cnltivated, rather than of a hold and ort-
glnal, mind." — Loan Jirraxr.

The Widow's Tale, and other Poems.

"Wo should always rejoice to see this volume on any taUe."^
Xen. lAltrarf GatrUe, March, 1827.

" This interesting little volume contains some of the saeeiest
poetry Mr. Barton has ever written." — lon. LU. Magntt, April, 1817

Devotional Verses.

*' Mr. Barton's style is well suited to devotional poetry. It has
great sweetness and pathos, accompanied with no small degree of
power, wliich well qnallfy It for tlie expreeslon of the hlglier and
purer feelings of the heart"— £sn. Ntw mmOOy Mof., Uarcli, ISas.

Mr. Barton was a brother to Maria Haok, the authoress
of a number of juvenile works of great merit, and his
danghter, Miss Lucy Barton, has devoted her talents to
the composition of scriptural works, principally intended
for the young.

great pleasure in the care of a botanical garden, Inid out
and planted by himself, on the west bank of the Schuyl-
kill, four miles below Philadelphia. He became go famous
for his proficiency in his favourite pursuit, that Linnaeus
pronounced him "the greatest natural botanist in the
world." Sir Hans Sloane, Mr. Catesby, Dr. Hill, Peter
CoUinson, and other friends of science, furnished Bartram
with books and apparatus, stimulated his seal by their
sympathy, and aided his labours by active co-operation.

In 1773, at the request of Dr. Fotbergill, he travelled
through several of the Southern States, Ac. in order to ex-
amine the natural productions of the country. These in-
vestigations occupied him for five years. His collections
and drawings wore forwarded to Dr. Fotbergill. The fruits
of this enterprise were given to the world in 1791 r Tra-
vels through N. and S. Carolina, Oeorgia, B. and W. Flo-
rida, the Cherokee Country, the extensive Territories of
the Muscogules or Creek Confederacy, and the country of

Bastard, Thomas, d. 1618, a elergymsD, snd an

epigrmmmatist of ooaaidermbla note m his day, was made
perpatoal FeUow of New Coll«g«, Oxford, in 1688,

l^oits." It wa« entitled An Admonition to tiie citj of

Bastard was thrice married.

*■ He was a person endowed wlUi many mra gifts, waa an exoel-
Isnt Grecian, Latlniat, and poet, and, in Ills elder jtmrm, a quaint
pr«eelier. His discourses were always pleasant and ftjoete, which
made his eompany desired by all Ingenlons men. He was a most
•xeslient epigrammatist, and, being always ready to rendlV upon
any sul^jeet, did let notlilng materui eecape bis nncy, as his com-
poaitloas, running through several hands In MS., shew." — AUien.

Warton speaks of him as an elegant classic scholar, and
" hotter qualified for that species of the occasional pointed
Latin epigram established by his fellow-coUegian, John
Owen, than for any other sort of Bnglish versification."
The res amgutta domif however, — to which poets are so pro-
TcrbiaUy subject — would appear to have sobered his wit :
** But now, left naked of proaperitle,
And Bul^ect unto bitter injurle ;
Bo poor of sense, so bare of wit I sm.
Not needo faerselfe can drive an epl;?ram."

— XOi. I., Efif. 2.
W« extract a stanza from an Epigram in honour of our
author by no less a person than Sir John Harrington :

^ To Master Bastard, a minister, that made a pleasant Book of
Sagiish l^lgrmms;

Yon most In pnlpit treat of matters serlons ;
As tt beaoenis the person and the place;
There preach of iklth, repentance, hope, and grace;
Of ucraments, and such high things mysterious:
But they sre too wTere, and too imperious.
Tint unto honest sports will grant no space.
Tor thuee oar nilnds rsfteeh, those weary us.
And spur our doubled spirit to swifter pace."

ibtgtotL, Knight, digeswd into fbur bookes, Lon., 1Q25, sm. Kvo.)

Baston, Robert, d. about 1315? a native of Tork-
shire, was, according to Bale, poet laureate and public
exator at Oxford, but this has been disputed. Ho became
a Carmelite monk, and prior of that order in Scarborough.
Bdward 1. carried him with him in his expedition against
Scotland, in 1304, that he might be an eye-witness of and
celebrate bis victory. But, alas for human expectations !
Bastoo was made prisoner, and, as the price of his ransom,
obliged to write a panegyric on Robert Bruce ! Baston
wrote principally in Latin, and it is doubtful if any of his
Xnglisli compositions are now in existence. The rhyme
Baston is so called from our author. The panegyric men-
tioned above will be found in Fordun'sSooti-Chronison; it
was pab. Oxon., 1722. He also wrote, 1, De Striviluiensi

Bastwiek, John, M.D., 1593-1650? was distin-
gnished for his violent opposition to the /ure divino claim
for Episcopacy. He was educated at Emanuel College,
Cambridge, after which he took his doctor's degree at
Padna. His first work, Elenchus Religionis Pupisticse,
in quo probatoT neqne Spistolicam neque Catholicam, imo
■sqoe Bomanam esse, was pub. at Leyden, in 1624. In
U35 he paK in England, Flagellum PontiSeis et Episco-
poram LatisUiui. For tiiis publication he was cited be-
Ibra tbe High Commission Court; by which he was sen-
1 to a fins of £1,000, prohibilsd irom practising his

profession of medicine, his book to be bnrot, himself ex>
communicated, to pay costs of snit, and be imprisoned
until he recanted. Whilst imprisoned,' he wrote Apologs-
tiens ad Prsatdes Anglieanos, 1636 ; and the Letany for
the especial! Use of our English Prelates, 1637. For this
new attack, Land had an information exhibited against
him in the Star Chamber. Wm. Prynne for his Histrio-
JKastix, and Rev. Dr. Burton for publishing two seditions
sermons, were also brongbt nnder discipline. The three
defendants, to the disgrace of the court, were sentenced
to lose their ears, to pay a fine of £5000 each, and to
safier perpetual imprisonment! This barbarous sentence
was executed. When tha Parliament obtained the supre-
macy, the three ware brought back to London in great
triumph, and an order passed for the repayment of the
fine of £5060 to each of them. It is said that they never
reooived the money. Bastwiek afterwards wrote several
pamphlets against the Independents.

Independency not Ood's Ordinance, Lon., 1645. De-
fence of himself against Lilbum, 1645. Utter Routing
of the whole Army of all the Independents and Sectaries,

fared better than the Patriarch Job in his hour of triaL
The wife of his bosom did not " add affliction to his mise-
ry;" but when Bastwiek mounted the scaffold, he waa
immediately followed by his wife, who,

" Like a loving spouse, saluted each ear with a kiss, and then his
mouth; whose tender love, boldness, and cheerl^lness, so wrought
upon the people's affections, that they gave a marvellous great
shout for joy to behold It."

The martyr was worthy of such a wife.

" So fiir," said lie, " am 1 tnm base fear, or caring fin- any thing
they can do, or cast upon me, tliat tmd I as much blood as would
swell the Tliames, I would shed It every drop in this cause. As I

Baxter builds his reasoning upon the principle of the
OM taerttta of matter. Hume objects to his system, with-
ont naming him, in his Enquiry concerning Human Under-
standing. We hare seen that Baxter did not live to oom-
plete his design.

Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691, a celebrated Noncon-
formist divine, was a native of Rowton in Hampshire.
In 1638 he was ordained by Bishop Thomborongh, and
two years later was chosen vicar of Kidderminster. On
the breaking out of the civil war, he desired to remain
neutral ; but suspecting the ambitious designs of parlia-
ment, he resolved "to repair instantly to the army, and
use his utmost endeavonrs to bring the soldiers back to
the principles of loyalty to the king, and submission to
the ohnrcb." When Cromwell was declared protector, he
bravely " withstood him to the face," telling him that " the
honest people of the land took their ancient monarchy to
be a blessing, and not an evil." Whilst chaplain to Colonel
Whalley's regiment, he wrote his best-known work. The
Saint's Rest. The Act of Uniformity of 1662 drove him
fh>m that chureh of whieh he had been so usetbl a mem-
ber. In the same year he married Margaret, daughter of
Francis Charleton, Esq., of Shropshire, a magistratai. In
1682 this exoellent man was seised for coming within five
miles of a corporate town ; again, in 1684, he wai sab-
jeeted to the same ill usage, and indeed for years his lifo
was harassed by these nnchriatian persecutions. In May,
16S4-85^he was tried before Lord-ehief-juaUoe Jeffreys npon
a charge of sedition, founded npon his Notes on the New
Testament On this oooaaion, Jeffreys displayed his nawd
brutality. When Baxter aaked for time, this wpn'^it jndgw
exolainied,

" I will not give him a moment's mora time to save hU lift.
Tender stands Oates in the pillory with him. I would say two
of the greatest rogues and rascals In the kingdom stood thefe."

When Baxter endeavoured to speak —

"RIchardt Ktefaardl" efaenfaOed the Jndn, "dost fbaa tUnk
we'll hear thea poison tha court 1 RIeliard, thou art an old fellow,
an old knave; thou hut written books enough to lead a oart.
lUdst thou been whipt out of thy writing trade fiirty yeara ago^
It had been happy."

Jeffreys would gladly have inflicted the whipping now,
through the streets of the city, but the other judge had less
brutality ; and the sentence was oa{y a fine of 500 marks,
imprisonment till paid, and bonds for good behaviour for

bringing home the truth of the Quspel to every individual of bis

Dr. Samuel Clarke considered our author's Reasons of
the Christian Religion as one of the most masterly per-
formances on the subject of any in the Knglish language.

" In It Baxter examines Lord Herbert's book. On Truth, and
ftamlahea aome Ingenlona, Judlek>ua, and valuable remarks by way
of anewer." — Buous.

" Baxter's Keasons contain an able statement of the evideneee.*

— BlCKIRSTSTH.

His Key for Catholics to open the Juggling of tha Ja.

suits has been commended as

" A masterly refutation of the errora and peculiar dogmas and

a thorough exposure of all the deceitfill arts of the Komlsh Church
and Jeeultlsm."

His Church History of Bishops, and Treatise on Epis-
copacy,

"Are among the best of Baxter's writings wbkh have not been
republlsbed, and well deserve tbe attention of inqufaws into tbe
aflaira of the Church." — Oanx.

" His vouctaeni are beyond all exception." — VlSLXT.

" pwre l8 a living energy and spirit In the pmctfeal writings of
Baxter, which the reader seldom meets vrltb in any other author.
His appeals to the conscience are often mighty and irresistible.'*
— WiUiamt'i Ckritthn Pnacher.

" Baxter wrote ss In the view of eternity j bnt geneially Jndl-
clous, nervous, spiritual, and evanstdlcal, though often charged
with the contrary. He discovers a manly eloquence, and the moat
evident pnoCi of an amaiing genlua. with respect to which he may
not Improperly be called the Sngliilt DttMtOiaiar—Doddridg^t
LtcL on Pnaching. ^^

" Pmy read with great attention Baxter'a Life of hfanaelf; it la
an Inestimable work. There is no substitute for it In a course of
study for a clergyman or public man ; I could almost as soon doubt
tho Gospel verity as Baxter's veracity." — CouuuDas.

Dr. Dibdin describes Baxter as

" A divine of a moat capricious, yet powerfiil and original, mbid.
what Prynne was in law and history, Baxter was In theology: aa
the simllnrity, in point of qnalntness, in the titlae of t£lr re-
spective works, testliles."

" Baxter Is my partleular ttvonrife : it Is fanposslble to tell you
how mach I am charmed with the devotkm, good sense, and pa-
thos, which is everywhere to bo ibund in him." — DoDDaiDol.

" He culUval«I every sutgect be handled, and If he had lived in
the primitive time, he had boon one of tho flithore of the church.
It was enough for one age to produce such a peraon."- Bisaop

" His lilb contains much useful matter, and many valuable oar*
tteularaoftbetlmeafCbarleal."— WiuixaroBcs.

Boawell records the opinion of hia great friend :

" I asked him what works ofRfchard Baxter's I should read. He
said ' Read any of them ; thoy are all good.'" Another of John-
son's fHends tells ns that the doctor "thought Baxter's Keasons of
the Christian Religion eonteined Iho best collection of the evidences
of tbe divinity of the Christian system."

He became a proficient in antiquarian investigations and
in the dead languages. In 1679 he pub. a Latin Oram-
niar J and in 1695 an ed. of Anacreon, which was reprinted
in 1710 with improvements, which are said to be token
from the ed. of Joshua Barnes, pub. in 1704. In 1701
appeared hia cslebratod ed. of Horace ; tbe 2d ed. of which
was pub. in 1725. Dr. Harwood praises Baxter's «d. as

"By for the best edittott of Horace ever published. I have read
it many timee through, and know Its singular worth. England
has not produced a mom elegant or Judicious critic than Baxter."

Qesner'g Horace was based npon Baxter's, and Bishop
Lowth pronounced the 2d ed. of Gesner's, pub. in 1772,
the best ed. of Horace ever delivered to the world. Mr.
Baxter was engaged in several other literary labours. In
1719 was pub. a portion of his Glossarinm Antiquitatam
Britannicamm ; tbe whole of this work was pub. before
his death at the expense of that ornament to literature, as
wbU aa to the healing art, Dr. Richard Mead. That which

Beale, Robert, d, 1801, aeirilian and statesman, was
a xealous Protestant, and on account of his religious prin-
etelea resided on the Continent during the reign of Queen
Mary. He embraced the occasion to form a ralnable his-
torical library. He wrote a treatise on the marriage of
Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, with Mary, the French
queen ; another on the marriage of the Earl of Hertford
with Lady Catherine (iny; and his discourse on the Pari-
sian massacre, in the form of a letter to Lord Bnrghley,
is in the Cotton MSS. in the British Museum. His prin-
cipal work is a collection of some of the Spanish historians,
entitled B«rum Hispanicamm Scriptoiee, France, 1679,
2 vols. foL Some letters of his will be found in Lodge's
Illustrations of British History, and in Wright's Queen

Beattie, James, LL.D., Ac, 1735-1803, was bom at
Laureneekirii, in Kincardineshire, Scotland, on the 20th of
October. Bis fhtber was a shopkeeper and fkrmer, and is
said to have been something of a poet, though never dis-
tinguished for his productions. In 1749 James was sent
to the Marischal College, at Alierdeen, where he remained
for four years. He studied 'divinity with the intention of
taking orders, but relinquished this idea. In 1758 he ob-
tained the situation of usher in the grammar-school of
Absrdeen, and two years later waa honoured by the ap-
pointment of Professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic in
Marischal College, which post he ratained until within a
short period of his death. In 1760 he pnb. a volunte of
poems, the most of which had appeared anonymonsly ia
the Scot's Magstinc A portion of these were reprinted in
1766, with the addition of a translation of one of Addison's

Sieces, and some verses on the death of Churchill. Theas
tat, and indeed almost all of our author's earlier pieoea,
were not deemed by him worthy of a place in ftatnre edi-
tions of his works. In 1765 he pub. a poom entitled TEe
Judgment of Paris. The design was good, but the poetry
waa not considered eqnai to tha moniL In 1767 he was

The aneeeaa vt thia work waa worthy of ita exeellent de-
ligB. In lose than fonr yeara it went through Uto editiona,
and had been tranalated into aeveral foreign langnagea.
He reeeired enoonragement to take oidera in the Church
of England, but declined the orertora. In 1700, Beattie
wrote to Dr. Blaekwall that he had eonmnneed " a poem
in the atyle and atanaa of Spenaer," but be had " reiolved
te write no more poetry with a riew to publication, till he
■aw aome dawninga of a poetical taate among the gene-
rality of readera." The firat book of The Minetrel, thna
refaned to, made ita appearance in 1771, and waa moat
&roarably reeeired. He waa honoured by the intimacy
of Johnaon, Ooldamith, Reynolda, and Garrick ; and in
1773'reeeiTed a aubatantial token of royal favour in the
■hspe of a penaion of £200 per annum. Dr. Beattie givea
• Tory intereating aeoount of an interriew with whieh he
waa honoured by Oeorge III. and the queen :

** TbsT both eompllmented me In tha hlgheat tenna on my Eaaay,

to read.' He had beard that the sale of Hunie's Essays had Ulsd
sines my book was published; and I told him what Mr. 8tnhaa
bad told me In regard to that matter.'*

The author intended to add a aecond part to the Eaaay
OB Truth, but it waa never completed.

Tha aecond hook of The Minatrel appeared in 1774, and
vaa raeeived with aa mncb faraur aa ue former. Shortly
before thia. Dr. Beattie had declined the offer of the Pro-
Daaaorahip of Horal Pbiloaophy in the Unireraity of Edin-
bnrg''- In 1770 he pnb. by a anbaeription of nearly 600
aaaiea, a new edition of hia Eaaay on Truth, with aome
othar aaaaya in the same Tolnme : On Poetry and Huaio,
On Laughter and Ludieroua Composition, and On the
Utility of Claaneal Learning. In 1777 a new edition of
Hm Minatrel waa given to the world. In thia edition waa
aampriaed a leleetion of the anthor'a other poetioal pieeea.
A Letter to Dr. Blair on Paalmody waa printed, but not
paliU*hed,inl778. ALiatofScotticiama appeared in 1779,
and daring the next year he eoatribnted to the Mirror aome

In 17M he gave to the world the first volume of hia Ele>
meata of Moral Science, edited a new edition of Addiaon's

Society of Kdinbnrgh'a publieationa. Three yeara later

Of the character of Dr. Beattie, it ia only neoeaaary to
■aj that he waa a philaothropist and a Chriatiaa of no
Bwmon order.

An Aoeoant of hia Life and Writingi, with many of hii
latton, waa pub. at Edin., 2 vola. 4to, in 1800, by Sir Wil-
liaiB Forbea. We find frequent reference to oar aalbor in
Boawell'a Life of Dr. Johnion. JcAnion ramarki to

On another oeeaaion, Johnaon oontraated ^eatiie bvonr-

The Eaaay on Truth la now bat Httle read. The Edin-
burgh Reviewer of Sir William Forbea'a volumes oensuref
the Eaaay in no meaanred terms :

"Bvecy one baa not the capacity of writing pblloaophlcally ;
but eveiT one may be at leaat t«nperate and candid ; and Dr. Ika^
tie's book ia still more ramaikabia Ibr being abuaive and aerlmo-
niooa, than for Ita defeeta in argument and originality. There are
no subjoeta, however, In the wide world of human apaculatloa,
upon which anch veheaience appears more gronndleea and unao*
eountable, than the greater part of thoee which have served Dr.
Beattie lot topica of declamation or Invective."

■• Beattie, the moat agreeable and amiable writer 1 ever met with ,
tha only author I have seen whose critical and pbUosophlcal re*
aearrhea are dlveralfled and enabellliihed by a poetkal Imagination,
that makaa even tlie drleat sul^t and the leaaeat a faaat for aa
epicure In books. He Is so much at hia ease, too, that his own
character appears In every page, and, which Is very rare, we see not
only tha writer, but the man ; and the man so gentle, so well tern.
pered. ao happy in bla religion, and ao humane In his phUoaophv,
that it la neoeaaary to love him If one haa any aanaa ot what ia

The Minstrel waa deaigned to " trace the progreaa of a

of fancy and reaaon, till that period at which he may be

Beanmoat, FranciB, 1585r-I8I5-lA, and Joha
Fletcher, 1576— lt25, united themselres so closely during
life, that "In death they have not been dirided" by the
biographer. Franeis Beanmont was descended from the
ancient and noble family of the name, whose residence was
at Qrace-Dieu in Leicestershire. His grandfather, John
Beaumont, was Master of the Rolls, and his father, Francis,
one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. He was
entered a gentleman-oummoner of Broadgates' Hall, (now
Pembroke College,) Oxford, Feb. 4, 1596-97. After tear-
ing eollege he became a member of the Inner Temple ; but
is not supposed to hare become very profoundly Tersed in
the principles of jurisprudence. A tnuwlation of the fable
of Salmacis and Hermaphroditns from Orid Into English
rhyme and much enlarged, printed in 1602, 4to, is ascribed
to his pen, though not without question. Of Beaumont's
life but very little is known. He married Ursula, a daughter
of Henry Isley, of Snndridge, in Kent, by whom he left
two daughters. He died before he had attained his 30th
year, and wm* buried near the entrance of St Benedict's
Chapel, Weatminster Abbey, near the Barl of Hlddleaex's
monument. Bishop Oor4>U honoured the departed poet by
the fallowing epitaph :

Oh Ma. TaAinns ButmoHT.
" He that taatk suoh acutenees and such wit
As would ask ten good heads to husband It:^
He that can write so well that no man dare
Befbae It «» the beat,— let bim bewaral
BXAOVOitT Is dead! by whose sole death appeals
Wit's a disease oonsumes men in ftw years T"

His brother, also, Sir John Beaamont, intimates that
the mental powers of the poet were oTertasked :

" Ttaoo saooM'st baTe Miowed me, bnt Death, to Uame,
Hlsoounted years, and msasnred age by iuae:
So dearly hast thou bought thy precious lines.
Their pimlae grew swtftly, ao thy life declines.'*

Of the collection entitled The Works of Beanmont and
Fletcher, (fifty-two plays, a Masque, and some Minor
Poems,) Beaumont alone wrote The Masque of the Inner
Temple and Oray's Inn, and the Minor Poems, it is be-
liered, with the exception of The Honest Man's Fortune,
whiA follows the plaj with that title: this "ehallenges
Fletcher for its sole author, and remains the single nndra-
matlc poem extant of Fletcher's, unices we add a fow self-
eommendatory verses prefixed to The Falthfhl Shepherd-
ess." The Masque dedicated to Sir Francis Bacon was
soted and printed 1613-18 ; the Poems were printed 1640,
4to ; 1658, 1660, 8vo. The most celebrated is the letter
to Ben Jonson.

John Fletcher was the son of Richard, sneeassirely
Bishop of Bristol, Worcester, and London. He was edu-
! eatad at Cambridge, probably at Bene't College, and had
! the reputation of respectable proficiency in the classics.
As many of the plots of his plays were taken ftvm the
Spanish, French, and Italian, it is a fair inference that be
was versed in those languages. It is believed that be was
never married. He died of the plague, in London, la
1625, and was buried in St. Saviour's, Southwark. In ad-
dition to the pieces written exclusively by Fletcher, and
his labours in conjunction with Beaumont, he assisted
Ben Jonson and Middleton in The Widow, and is supposed
to have been also a literary partner with Shakspear«i Ha«.
singer, and some other authors. The Two Noble Kings-
men was formerly very confidently attributed to Fletcher
and Shakspeare ; though later opinions deprive the latter
of any share in the authorship. Still the title-page of the
first edition carries the name of both, and the assertion
seems to hare been nnqnesUoned by those who, living near
the time, may be supposed to have been as good Judgea aa
the ingenious skeptics of modem times. However, we
offer no opinion upon the subject. Laagbaine declares that
Shakspeare was one of the authors ; and the foUowing re-
marks are worthy of oonsideratioD :

" Since the truth of this statement was never questioned nntQ
modem tlmaa, although many of Shakspeare's Meoda were living
when the play was pobllshed; since all the old critics mention
Shakspeare as one of the writers of it; — and, more than all, since
the Internal evidence mily bears out tlie tradition, we think the
genuineness of it can scarcely be questioned. If Shakspeare did
not assist Fletcher, who then did? None of the plays which
Fletcher alone wrote are composed In the same style, or exhibit
the same lofty Imarinatloo, and If there were any other dramatist
save Shakspeare, who could attain to such a belieht of excellence^
he has oertalttly handed down none of his comoosltlons to pea.
terlty. If Slialupeare did not write part of it, all we can asy is^
that his Imitators went vei7 near to rival talmselC" — Cimmnghctm'M

We have stated that after deducting fhim "The Works
of Beaumont and Fletcher" those compositions of which
Beaumont was sole author, (and the one nndramatic poea
of Fletcher's,) we have remaining fifty-two plays. Mr.
Darley remarks :

" Out of the fifty-two plays, Beanmont bad no share In the fint
nAM here set down. It may be said with little besUattaa, and with
none, in tile next m'ne — making In all e^^Mem."

BBOwd, of • dnuDB antitled The Historj of Mador, King
of &r«at Britain, now loiL Several otlier compositions
have been attributed to onr literary partners, as well as to
Fletcher, in conjunction with others ; in The History of
Cordenio, Shakspeare is said to have been his colleague.
(See Parley's Litrodnction, and Weber's edition, Lon., 1802,
Svo, 1814, 14 vols.) This edition was severely handled by
OiiTord and Oct. Gilchrist.

We have already mentioned the early editions of Bean-
nont's Poems. The Qolden Remains of Francis Beau-
mont and John Fletcher, 2d edit., with other Drolleries by
•everall Wits of these present Times, was pub., Lon., 1660,
Sto. The first collected edition of the comedies and tra-
gedies was pub., LoD., 1647, folio, with portrait of Fletcher.
This edition contains a dedication by ten comedians to
Philip, the Karl of Pembroke and Montgomery. It waa
edited by John Shirley, and contained 36 plays, printed
for the first time. Also, Lon., 1650, in 4to; 1679, folio;
1711, T vols. Svo; with notes by Theobald, Beward, and
Synpson, 1750, 10 vols. 8vo; with notes by varions eom-
asentators, 1778, 10 vols. 8to, edit, by George Colman ; edit.

1812, 14 vols. 8vo, with portraits; edited by Dyce, 1843—
46, 11 vols. 8va. Moxon's beautiful edition, 1839, has
been before referred to. This enterprising and highly
tespeetable publisher has issued, in the same snpwior
style, the works of Shakspeare, Ben Jonson, Dryden,
Spenser, Massinger and Ford, Wycberloy, Congreve, Van-
bmgh, and Farqnhar. To some of the works of this selec-
tion there are such grave objections, that we cannot desire
their circulation, and there is hardly one author of the
vhole to whom the pmning-knife should not be applied
before he becomes an inmate in the domestic circle. Our
remarks upon certain dramatic writers (see Collirr,
Jbbsbt) may be consulted in this oonnezion.

The friendship existing between Beaumont and Fletcher
was of the most endearing kind. Aubrey tolls ns, in bis
remarks upon Beaumont,

^ There was a wonderfal oonslmlllty of pfaanny between bim and
Mr. Jo. neteher, whldi caused that dearnesse of frtendslUp between
tbeM. I bare beard Dr. Jo. Earle (since Blsh. of Sarum) say, who
knew tham, that his malne bnslnesse waa to correct the orerllow-
kvsanir.llatBbet'switt. They

r lived together on the Banks sIdS)

not Otr ftcm the play-house, bothbaehelon, Uy togsther, ... the
same dcatliB and cicake, Ac., between them."

We proceed to quote the opinions of a number of writers
upon the works of our distinguished poet Shirley, ia
the preface to the first collected edition, (1647 see ante,)
after a laboured description of the constituents of tma
poetry, remarks,

" This, you will say. Is a vast eomprehenslen, and hath not hap-
pened In many years. Be It then remembered to the glory of onr
own, that all these are demonstrative, and met in Beanmont and
Fletcher, whom but to mention Is to throw a cloud upon ail former
names, and benight posterity ; thIa book being, without flattery,
tin gTe*t«8t monument of the scene that time and humanity have
produced, and must lire, not only the crown and sole reputation
of our own, but the stain of all other nallons and languages."

We quote some specimens from the Commendatoiy
Verses prefixed to the works. The following refer to
Fletcher.

" Thou hast left unto the times so great
A legacy, a treaanre so complete.
That 'twill be bard, I fear, to prove thy will:
Men will be wrangling, and In doubting still,
How so vast sums of wit were left behind.
And yet nor debts, nor shareia, they can find."

HSITRT HOODT, BABT.

'* Then shall the country, that poor tennis-ball
Of angry Ihte, receive thy paatorall.
And mnn It learn those melancholy strains
Fed the afflicted souls of primitive swaina.

And winged flune unto posterity
Transmit bnt only two, this age and thee."

Thoius Frttor.
<*And,by theeoortof Mmwabe't decreed,
What graces spring fWim poesy's richer seed.
When we name Fletcher, shall be ao proclalm'df

Or what mors easy Nature dM bestow
On Shakspeare's gentler muse In thee (tall grown
Their graces both appear." — J. Bxmhax.
" Fletcher, to thee, we do not only owe
All these good plays, but those of other* too:
Thy wit cvpeated, does support the stage.
Credits the last and entertains this, ags.
No worthies fonn'd by any muse, bnt uiins^

"Fab: star, ascend I the joy. the llfo, the light

Rich. Lovblaoi.
The bad taste, if not impiety, of this apostrophe is not
at all singular in onr old writers. We quota the compli-
mentary epistle of Ben Jonson in answer to Beaumont's
letter to the former on The Fox :

" To Ma. FXAHCIS BXADBORT.

** How 1 do love thee, Beanmont and tiiy Muse.
That unto me dost such religion use 1
How I do Ibar myseli; that am not worth
The least indulgent thought thy pen drops forthl
At once thou makest me happy, and unmakeet,
And giving laredy to me, more thou takest;
What We is mine that so Itself bereaves?
What art la thine, that ao thy friend deceives I
When even there, where most thon pialsest me
For writing better, I must envy thee I"
We do not discontinue quotations from want of matter,
for of the Commendatory Verses inscribed to Fletcher, to
Beanmont, and to both together, there are no less thaa
twenty-five sets I

Qerard Langbaine tells us,

" To speak first of Mr. Beaumont he waa master of a good wit,
and a better judgment ; he so admirably well understood the art
of the stage, that even Jonson himeelf thought it no disparage-
ment to submit his writings to his correction. . . . Mr. Fletcboi's
wit waa equal to Mr. Beaumont's judgment, and was so luxuriant
that like superfluous branches, it was frequently prun'd by his
judicious partner. These poets perfectly underatood breeding,
and, therefbie, successfully copy'd the conversation of gentlemen.
Tliey knew how to descrlM tbe manners of the age; and Fletclier
had a peculiar talent in expreeaing all his tbonghta with life and
briskness." — ..toorMmt of DramaL Jnett, IflOl.

With reference to Jonson's deference to Beanmont^s
judgment, we may barely refer to tbe amusing error of
Dryden, who will have it that " Rare Ben" submitted "all
of his plots" to the supervision of bis sagacious friend;
which, Mr. Darley truly remarks,

" Would prove our author Indeed a precocious genius, aa Eveiy

Man in Hia Humour was produced In 1696, when Beanmont was

but ten yean old. Bnt Dirden seems to have been tlie loosest

speaker, not an intentional liar, among all our great literati."

As fbr uieee dawning howa he knew waa beat;
Bat whan the sun ahone Ibrth, yow loo tbonght fit

Mr. Cartwright is of the same mind :
" Sbakeapear to thee waa doU, whoae beat jeat Ilea

This commendation for decency, as eontrastad with
Sfaakapeare, is so exeeedinglj preposteronSf that ve cannot
but wonder whether Cartwright ever really pemsed
Fletcher's writings. Ry mer criticises The Maid's Tragedy,
The Chances, and Valentinian, with great sererity. He
sent one of his reviews to Dryden, who, in the blank leaves
before the beginning and after the end of the book, made
sereral remarks, as If he designed an answer to that gen-
tleman. The following is not without interest :

^ Shakeapear and HettAer have written to the genlna of the
age and nation in which they llTed: fiw though nature, aa he

would not aatia^ an Engliah audience."

We cordially concur in the following oensnre :

" Fletcher bad an excellent wit, which, the back fHenda to staga-

The Justice of this apportionment of wit and judgment
has been questioned :

** Since on the one band, The Maid's Tragedy, Phllaster. and tlM
King and No King, in which Beaumont la generally allowed to
have had the chief nand, exhibit more fliwnr, more of the qualltlea
bv which Fletcher was dlatlngniahed than the majority of the other

which Beaumont aadsted him."

of tlie hlgheat order; every page of thrir writings la a jr ~
thev are dramatie poets of tiie aeoond class in point of I
variety, vivacity, and ribct; there ia hardly a paaalon, chameiarf

" That Fletcher waa not entlraly excluded from a ahare in ua

WInatanlev, that our two bards having concerted the rough draught
of a tragedy over a bottle of wine at a tavern. Fierier aald he
would undertake ' to kill the king,* widdi words being caught by
the waiter, who had not overheard the context of tlmr couTerm
tion, he lodged an Information of treason against them. Bnt oaa
their explanation that it onlv meant the oompaaslng the death ot
a theatrical monarrii, and their loyalty moreover being unqnse*
tloned, the aflSalr ended in a Jeat,"

We should not omit to quote the o]dttlon of that rery
eompetent oritio, Sir Walter Scott :

** Beaumont and Fletober have atlll a Uzh poetSeal value. If
character be aometimea violated, probability discarded, and the
Intereat of the |dot negleeted, the reader Is, on the other hand,
often gratified by the most beautifni deacription, the moat tender
and paaaionate dialogue, a display of brilliant wit and gaiety, or a
feast of oomlc humour. These attributea had so mnch efl^ on
the pnblie, that during the end of the 17th and the beginning at
the i8th oenturlea, many of Beaumont and Fletelier'a playa had
poaaeaaion of the atage, whUe thoae of Shakapeare were laid npon
tiw shelf."— .^rtMe *'Z>rvaia," AKye. BrO.

We refer the reader to Schlegel's rertew of oar anthon;
a short extract must sufllce here :

" Beanmont and Fletcher were in feet men of the moat diatlw*
gnished talents ; they scarcely wanted any thing more than a pro*
rounder sertonaneoa of mind, and that artistie aagad^ which every
where obeervea a due measure, to rank beside the greatest dramatm
poeta of all nations. They poaaaaaed extraordinary fecundity and
flexiblli^ of mind, and a UdlUtj which, however, too often degene-
rated into ear^eaaneea. The Ugheat perfection they have hanUy
ever attained ; and I should have little heaitatton In aSrming that
they had not even an idea of it : however, on aaveral oceaatona
they have approached quite eloae to It And why waa it dmled them
to take this faat atep? Beeanae with them poetiy waa not an In-
ward devotion of the feeling and imagination, oat a meana to
obtain brilliant reeulta. Their firat ot^eet waa eOset which the
great artist can hardly JUl of attaining UT he la detenalned above
all things to satisfy htmselt"— DramoMe LUenUtm,

The stndentwilldoweUfeoeonsalt,also,the elauie page*
of Mr. Hallam :

** The sentiments and style of Tletefaer, when not oonoealed by
obaenritf . or oorraptlon of the text,are very dramatis. We cannot
deny that the depths of Shakapeare's mind were often nnfethoan-
able by an audience ; the bow was drawn by a matohleas band, bwt
the shaft went out of sight All might llaten to Fletoher'a nlew
ing, though not profound or vigorous, language ; hia thonghta are
noble, and tinged with the ideality of romance, hia meta^ors tI-

lish without much pedantry, thongh In many paasagss he etralni
It beyond oommon use ; his veraifleatlon, though atudionaly IrregW'
lar, is often rhvthmkal and sweet Tet we are seldom arrested by
striking beaunea ; good lines occur In every page, fine onea but
rarely; we lay down the volume with a aenae of admlratloB ut

In variety of character there can bo no oomparison between Fletcher
and Shakapeare.**— XOerary iKtInry af Bnmpt,

Another eminent eritle Is of opinion that Fletoher mo-
delled his plays upon Shakupeare's comedies :

How mneh ia it to be lamented that poets of raeh rara
•ndowmentfl skoold hare debased the muse to the shock-
ing lieentiousness which disllpirea passages otherwise of
narreUooa beaaty ! Professor Shaw Justly remarks :

**Nor Is It much palliation to eonsider this Ilcentlonsneas of
speech as the Tlee of the times. It is trtie that the charge of In-
deoency m^ he aaftly maintained against nearly all the writers
ef this wonderful period, and we know that the stage hss a pecu-
liar tendency to flul Into this error ; but Shakspeare has shown us
that It Is Ter7 possible to arold this species of pruriency, and to
wmrlzay the tnnale dMuacter not in Its warmth only and Its ten-
Bermei, but also In Its purity. The moat singular thing la, that
many of the more indelicate soenes and much of the coarsest lan-
ipttge in Beaumont and Fletcher will be Ibund to haTe been oom-
poaed with the express purpose of exhibiting the virtue end pa-
rity of their heroines.** — OttlUnrt r^ Bng. Lileralun,

**Th8re may be qnoted fVom them many short pasnges, and
■oaae entire scenes, as delightftil ss sny thing In the range of poe-
try ; sonMiHmes pies sing Inr their rich fansgery, sometimes by their
praAinnd pathoa, and not uufrequently, by their eieration and
parity of tam^t and feeling. But there are rery few of the plays
whose storiM can be wholly told without offence: arid there is none

Thi( unhappy mingling of nobility of style and alera-
lian of nntiment with vulgarity of incident and obsoenity
of lannage — this unsightly admixture of the " fine gold
of the head" with the " olay of the feet," to borrow a simile
ftvm the inspired rision of the prophet of the Captivity,
will ever be regretted by all who desire that literstnre
■honld be the hand-maid of morality, and inteUeotnal ra-
Snement the eoadjntor of religious truth.

We close oor akoteh of these great dnmatista with the
beutiful comparison of Mr. Campbell :

** Ttaerw are swh extremes of grtMsneea and magnifleBnee in their
dramas, so mnch sweetness snd beanty interspersed with views
of nature eltber felaely rooflLntie or vulgar beyond reidlty ; tlier« is

Impreinlotts which they make to thoee which we rwoeive from visit-

Beckford, William, 1760-1844, was the son of the

well-known Alderman Beckford, Lord-nuyor of London,
celebrated for having bearded King (}eorge IIL on hia
throne, on the occasion of pr«senting a petition and re-
monstrance to his majesty. His son succeeded at the ag«
of 10 years to a fortune of upwards of £100,000 per an-
num, consisting in part of the estate at FonthiU, and a
large property in the West Indies. Young Beckford had
the advantage of the watchful care of his sponsor, hit
father's friend, the great Eorl of Chatham. The proprie-
tor of Fonthill determined to erect a splendid superstrao-
tare which should embody his conceptions of arcbitactnnl
beauty. In thia design and other fancies he expended in
sixteen yeara the enormous sum of £273,000. One tower
employed 460 men both by day and by night through an
entire winter, the torches need by "the nootumal won men
being visible to the astonished travellers at miles distant"
Fragility was a necessary consequence of such ■' untem-
pered" haste; and a gale of wind brought the lofty pile to
the ground. Mr. Beckford regretted that he bad not been
present when so grand a ruin occurred ; and he ordered the
erection of another tower of 276 feet: this also fell in 1826.
Beckford purchased an estate at Cintra, that "glorious
Eden of the South .■" here he built himself a palace for a
residence. Lord Byron alludes to this fiury-paioce and iti

preparatory to a sale. 7,200 catalogues were disposed of
at a guinea each. It was, however, sold by private con-

In 1783 Mr. Beokford married Lady Margaret Gordon,
daughter of the Barl of Aboyne, who died in 1786, leaving
issae two daughters, one of whom married Lieutenant-Ge-
Beral (then Colonel) James Orde ; and the other married
Alexander, Duke of Hamilton, Brandon, and Chatelherault
Mr. Beokford was lineally descended from the blood royal
of Scotland, and an "extraordinary accumulation of de-
MMits from royal and iUostrious houses" concentred in hii
person.

We may now consider Mr. Beckford as an author, and
here, in his own line, he is entitled to as high a position
as he might have justly claimed as a virtuoso. At the

Another authority of great reputation, which has guillo-

notice :

gal there Is everywhere the same vivid plctnring. the same rich

London AOientntnit 1834.

Hr. Beckford has connected his name still more closely
witi) Portugal, by his KecoUoctions of an Excursion to the
Monasteries of Alcobaca and Batalha, published in 1835.
The excursion was made in June, 1794^ at the desire of Uio
Prince Regent of Portugal.

"The monastery Alcobaca was tbe grandest ecclesiastical edifice
In that country, with paintings, antique tombs, and fountains;
the noblest architecture, In the finest ntuatSOQ, and inhabited by
monks who lived like princes. Tbe whole of these sketehes are
Interesting, and preeent a gorgeous picture of ecclesiastical pomp
and wealth." — Iion. Omt, Mag.

The travellers were " conducted to the fcitohen by the
abbot, in his costume of High Almoner of Portugal, that
they might see what preparations had been made to re-
gale them,"

" Through the centra of the immense and nobly-grolned hall*
not leas than sixty feet In diameter, ran a brisk rivulet of the
dearest water, containing every sort and slse of the finest river
fish. On one side, loads of game and venison were heaped upu
On the other, vegeUbles and fruits, In endless variety. Beyond
a long line of stoves, extended a row of ovens, and close to tbem,
hillocks of wbeaten flour whiter than snow, rocks of sugar, jars of
tbe purest oil, and pastry In vast abundance, which a numerous
tribe of lay brothen and tbdr attendante were rolling out, and
puffing up Into a hundred different shapw, singing all the whUe
as blithely as larks In a com field.**

This magnificent monastery was plundered and given to
the flames by the French troops under Massena, in 1811:
— One of the many sacrifices to the boundless ambition of
one of the smallest and greatest men who has ever dis-
graced the annals of humanity — Napoleon Bonaparte I

Beda, or Bede, 67S-735. No name is more illmtri-
Otts in the history of literature and science during the
Middle Ages than that of the " venerable" Bede ; and we
may add that in proportion to bis celebrity there an not
many writers of whose personal history we possess so few
details. His studious and contemplative life probably of-
fered Aw remarkable incidents to arrest the pen of the
biographer or historian ; and to his contemporaries, as well
as to after ages, (with the exception perhaps of the monas-
tic congregation in which he resided,) he lived ehiefly by

hb worln. The only Mcnmt* informatioii rtlsllBf («
Bede's life (with the exeeption of Cathbert's aeeoant of
his last moments) is given by Bade himself, at the end of
hia Eeelesiastical History. All the other biographies, whi A
an of little or no importance, are founded upon what he
there states. Smith has inserted in his edition of Bede's
historical works, an anonymous life written apparently in
the nth century. Mabillon has given another life, written
after the beginning of the 12th century, and other anony-
mous lives an inserted in the Acta Sanctorum and in Cap-
grmve. Notices more or less detailed are found in Simeon
of Durham, William of Malmsbury, and other historians.
Baronins and Mabillon have collected together meet of the
materials relating to the life of this great Anglo-Saxon
writer. More recently, memoin have been published by
Mr. Stevenson, in his edition of the Ecclesiastical History,
and by Heniy Gehle, in a separate work, entitled Dispn-
tatio Historioo-Theologiea de Bedie Venerabilis, Presby-
teri Anglo-Saxonis, Vila et Scriptis, 8vo, Lug. BaL,lBS8.

The name in Anglo-Saxon was Btda; as in all words
of this form, and names that have oonUnned through many
ages to be in people's mouths, the Anglo-Saxon termina-
tion a became softened into the later English dumb e. The
form Bedt has been continued, beeausa it is not ineorreel^
and boeaoae it ia the most popular.

Bede was Iwra in 672 or 673, near the plaee where Be-
nedict Biaeop aoon afterwards founded the religions house
of Weannonth, perhaps in the parish which is now called
Monkton, and which appears to have been one of the ear-
liest endowments of the monastery. As soon as he had
reached his seventh year, Bede was sent to Wearmontfa to
profit by the teaching of Bisoop, from which period to hia
death he continued to be an inmate of that monastery.
After the death of Benedict Biscop, Bede pursued his sto-
dies under his successor Ceolfrid, and at the age of nine-
teen, about A.D. 682, was admitted to deacon's orders by
John of Beverley, then newly restored to his see of Hex-
ham ; and in hia thirUeth year (702 or 703) he was or-
dained to the prieathood by the same prelate. The early
age at which Bede received holy ordera shows that he waa
then already distinguishing himself by his learning and
piety ; and there can be little donbt that his &me waa
widely spread before the commencement of the 8th een-
tuiy. At that period, according to the aooount which has
been generally received, Bede waa invited to Rome by
Pope Sergius I., to advise with that pontiff on some dilli-
cult points of church discipline. The anthority for thia
oircnmstanoe is a letter of the pope to Ceolfrid, expressing
his wish to see Bede at Rome, which has been inserted br
William of Malmsbury in hia History of England. It
seems, however, nearly certain that Bede did not go to
Rome on this occasion ; and reasons have been stated tat
supposing the whole story, as far as Bede waa eoncemed
in it, to be a misrepresentation.

The remainder of Bede's lifb appears to have passed away
in the tranquillity of study and in pious exereisea. Ha
never separated himself ttmn the monastery in which he
had been educated, bnt composed within Its walla the nu-
merous books which have thrown so much lustre on hia
name. The larger portion of these works was probably
written during the fifteen yean preceding 731. His smaller
treatise De Temporibns is supposed to have been composed
about 701 or 702, and the book De Natora Rerum perhaps
about the same time. Bede had finished the three hooka
of his Commentary on Samuel Just before the death of
Ceolfrid, t. c. in 716. The treatise De Temporum Rationa
was composed in 728 ; the lives of the first Abbots of Wey-
mouth and Tarrow were published about 716, or soon after ;
and in 731 was completed his most important work, tha
Boolesiaatical History of tho Anglo-Saxons,

A narrative of Bede's last boon was written by his dia-
eiple Cuthbert, and is still preeerved. From thia aeeouat
it appears that the last works on which he employed hia
pen were a translation of the Oospel of Bt John Into An-
glo-Saxon, and a ooUection of extracts firom one of Iha
works of Isidore. At the commencement of the month of
April, 735, he was seised with a shortneea of breathing,
under which he languished till the 2eth of May, suffering
little pain, but pining away under the effects of his diseana
and the absence of sleep. During this time he oocnpiod
himself day and night either in admonishing his disciples,
or in prayer, or in repeating passages tnm the Scripturoa
and the fathen of the chureh, interspersing his observatioma
from time to time with pieoes of religions poetry in hia
native tongue. On the26thof May, theaymptomabaoaBa*

'tte tisnilation of tti* Ooipal of SL John) to one of the
jvungtt memben of the community, who aoted u his
■eribo; and ha rammed the uime work early the next
Bomingi which wai the Feast of the Aaeenrion, or Holy
Tbond^, and he told his disciples to write diligently.
This they did till nine o'clock, when they ratired to per-
form some of the raligious duties peculiar to that day. One
of them then said to him, " Dearest master, one chapter
still remains, and thou canst ill bear qnestioning." Bnt
Bede desired him to proceed, telling him to " tsdte his pen
and write hastily." At the hour of nones, (twelve o'clock,)
Bede directed Cnthbert to fetch from his closet his spices
and other preeions articles, which he shared among the
presbyters of the house, and begged that they would say
masses and prayers for him after his death. He passed
the remainder of the day in prayer and conrersatian, amid
the tears of his companions, till erening, when his scribe
again interrupted him, telling him that only one sentence
of his work remained unfinished. Bede told him to write,
•ad ha dictated a few words, when the youth exclaimed,
"It is now done!" "Thou hast said right," answered
Bede, " it is done !" " Support my head with thy hands, for
I de^re to sit in my holy place where I am accustomed to
pray, that sitting there I may call upon my Father." And
thus on the floor of his closet, chaunting the Oloria Patri,
he had just sk^ngth to proceed to the end of the phrase,
and died with the last words (Spiritoi Saneto) on his lips.
The date of Bede's death is accurately fixed in the year
f 35, by the eirenmstance that in tliat year the Feast of the
Aseeosion fell upon the 27th of Hay. He was buried at
Yarrow, and, aeoording to William of Halmsbury, the fol-
lowing epitaph was placed on his tomb :

Bede has given us, at the conclusion of his Becleslastieal
History, the following list of the works which he had com-
posed prariously to Oiat time, (a.d. 731.) 1. A commen-
tazy on Qeneais, as far as the twenty-first chapter inclusive.
Part of this work will Iw found in the editions of Bede's
eolleeted works ; the rest was edited by Henry Wharton,
In his collection of Tracts by Bede. 2. A treatise on the
tabernacle and its vessels, and on the vestments of the
priests, in three books. S. A eommentary on the first
thirty-one chapters of the first book of Samuel, (usque ad

eatione Templi, (an allegorical interpretation of the temple
of Solomon,) in two books; 5. I>etached observations on
the books of Samuel and Kings. (In Regium librum xxx.
qnestiones.) 6. A commentary on the Song of Solomon,
in seven books. 7. A commentary on the Proverbs of
Solomon, in three books. 8. Glosses on Isaiah, Daniel,
the Twelve Prophets, and part of Jeremiah, extracted from
St. Jerome. 9. On Ksra and Kefaemiah, in three books.
It. On the Song of Habacnc, in one book. 11. On the
book of Tobit, (In Librum beati patris Tobise, explana-
tiones aliegoricse de Christo et ecclesia,) in one book.
12. Heads of readings, (eapitula lectionum,) on the Penta-
Isoeh and on the books of Joshua and Judges. 13. A
coamentaty in libroa Regum st Yerba diernm. 14. A
commentary on the book of Job. 1&. On the Proverbs,
Scdamastea, and the Song of Solomon. IS. On Isaiah,
Bus, and Nehemiah. 17. A commentary on the Gospel
•f St. Hark, in four books. 18. A commentary on St.
Luke, in fix books. 19. Homilies on the Gospel, in two
book*. 20. A compilation ftmn St Augustine — In Apos-

commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, in two books.
32. Commentaries on the seven CaUiolic Bpistles. 23. A
eonunentary on the Apocalypse, in two books. 24. Heads
of readings on the whole of the New Testament, with the
axeeption of the Gospels. 2S. A book of Bpistles addressed
to various persons. These Bpistlcs were in fact tracts ad-
dreeeed to his friends on the following subjects : On the six
Age* of the World, (de sex setatibus saecuH ;) on the Msn-
■ioBf of the Childnn of Israel ; on the words of Isaiah,
It ebudentar ibi in carcerem, et post dies multos visita-
bootar, (laa. xzir. 22 ;) on the Bissextile ; on the Bqninox,
■eeording to AaatoHo*. The second and third of these
tnet* an lost M. The life of St. Felix, eompDed in prose
freia the meMeal life by Paalinns. 27. A corrected edition
of the Lift of St. Anastasint, which hod been inaoourately
tnmslated from the Greek. (Iiibmm vitse et passionis
lancti Anastasii, male de Graeo tnuislatum, et pejus a
f nodam imperito esDendatam, proat potni, ad sensom oor-

rexi.) 28. The life of St Cuthbert, written first in vena,
and afterwards in prose. 29. The history of the Abbot*
of Wearmoath and Yarrow. 30. The Bcolesiasticsl His-
tory. 31. A Hartyrology. 32. Hymns, in various metres

34, 36. The books De Natnra Rerum and De Temporibus.
38. A larger book de Temporibus. 37. A book de Orth»-
gtaphia, arranged in alphalwtical order. 38. A treatise
on Metres, (de Metrica Arte,) to which was added another,
de Sehematibns sire Tropis.

To the foregoing list may be added a few books, which
are of undonbted authenticity, and which, with one excep-
tion, were written subsequently to the completion of the
Ecelesiastioal History. 39. The Libellns de Situ Urbfs
Hierusalem', sive d* Locis Sanctis, already inenlioned as
an abridgment fVom the older work of Adamnan. We
know that this tract was published befora the appcarsnee
of the Ecclesiastical History, in which it is mentioned, and
it is singnlsr that it should be omitted in Bede's list.
40. In his old age, soon after the completion of the Eccle-
siastical History, Bede wrote (in imitation of St Angnstine)
a book of Selraetalionet, in which with cbaracteriiitic can-
dour he points out and corrects errors admitted into the
writings of his earlier years. 41. The Epistle to Alhinni,
edited by Mabillon, and written soon after the year 731.
42. The EpisUc to Archbishop Egbert written at the end
of the year 734 or in the beginning of 735. 43, 44. The
Compilation flrom Isidore, and the Anglo-Saxon version of
St John, which occupied Bede's last moments.

It will be seen by the foregoing list that the subjects
of the writings of Bede are very diversified. They are the
works of a man whose life was spent in close end constant
study, — industrious compilations rather than original com-
positions, but exhibiting profound and extensive learning
beyond that of any of his contemporaries. He was not
unacquainted with the classic authors of ancient Rome;
and his commentaries on the Scriptures show that he un-
derstood the Greek and Hebrew languages. His work*
may be divided into four classes, his theological writings,
his soientifiQ treatises, his poetry and tracts on grammati-
cal and miscellaneous subjects, and his histurical book*.
I. A very large portion of Bede's writings consists of com-
mentaries on the different books of the holy Scripture*,
exhibiting great store of information and acntencss of per-
eepUon, but too much chaiscteritod by the great blemish
of the medisBval theology, an extravagant attachment to
allegorical interpretation. 2. The only scientific treatises
of which we can with certainty regard Bede as the author,
an those indicated in his own list of his writings. They
are still preserved, and, though no better than compila-
tions from other writers, and mora especially fk-om Pliny
the elder, they exhibit to us all the scientific knowledge
possessed by our forefathers until a much later period.
The tract De Natura Rerum, which was one of Bede's
earliest works, and the Anglo-Saxon abridged translation
made in the tenth century, were the text-books of science
in England until the twelfth centnry. 3. His grammati-
cal and philological writings show his judgment and learn-
ing in a very favourable point of view. His observation*
on the structure and characteristics of Latin verse are dis-
tinguished by good taste, and are illustrated by examples
selected by himself fVom the best of the classic, as weD
as from the Christian, Latin poets. He sometimes criti-
cises Donatus and the older grammarians. Bede's own
metrical compositions are a proof rather of his industry
than of his genius; they are constructed according to the
rules of art and possess a certain degree of correctness,
but are spiritless. 4. As 'a historian, the name of Bede
will ever stand high in the list of our national writer*.
One of the earliest books of this class which he wrote, wa*
> the history of the abbots of his own monastery, published
not long after A. D. 718. He composed the life of St
Cnthbert at the request of Bishop Eadfrith and the monk*
I of Lindisfame, and therefore some time before the year
721. But his most important work composed in bis more
mature age, was his Ecclesiastical History of the Anglo-
I Saxons. Upon this work, which was undertaken at the
request of two ecclesiastics, Albinus and Nothhelm, he ap-
pears to have laboured with great diligence during several
I years; He derived KtUe assistance from previous writera,
' for the books he quotes are few and unimportant ; but his
own reputation at this period of his life, and his acquaint-
ance with the most eminent ecclesiastics of his age, placed
within his reaeh a large mass of valuable original mate-
rials. For a comprehensive list of the editions of Bede,

Beddoea, Thomag, M.D., 1760-1808, an eminent
physician and chemist, was bom at Shifi'nall, in Shrop-
shire. In 1776 he was entered of Pembroke College, Ox-
ford, where he was remarkable for his assiduity in his
studies, and proficiency in the LaUn tongue. He also
made himself acquainted with French, Italian, and Qer-
man. Dr. B. married Maria Edgeworth's younger sister.

He pub. in 1784, Dissertation on Natural History, from
the Italian of Spallaniani, 2d ed., 1790. Ho added notes
to Dr. E. CuUen's trans, of Bergman's Physical and Che-
mical E-ssays ; and in 1785 trans, the same author's Essay
on Elective Attractions. On the death of Dr. Austin be
succeeded to the chemical lectureship at Oxford. Not
satisfied with his extraordinary attainments in chemistry,
physiology, mineralogy, botany, Ac, he turned his atten-
tion to Uie interests of politios, education, and political
economy, and in 1792 surprised his friends with a poem
founded upon Alexander's Expedition to the Indian Ocean.
This he passed off as a production of Dr. Darwin's to some
enthusiastic admirers of that gentleman's poetry ; one of
whom had declared that the poem on the Economy of Ve-
getation was beyond imitation. As another evidence of
the comprehensive grasp of bis mind, we may mention
History of Isaac Jenkins, a Moral Fiction, 1793; Obser-
vations on the Nature of Demonstrative Evidence, with
RoBections on Language, 1792 ; A Word in Defence of the
Bill of Rights against Qagging Bills, 1791 ; An Essay on
the Public Merits of Mr. Pitt, 1796. Some of Dr. Beddoes's
professional Essays are, besides those mentioned. Obser-
vations on the Nature and Care of Calculas, Catarrh, and
Fever, 1792 ; Contributions to Medical and Physical Know-
ledge, from the West of England, 1799; Popular Essay on
Consumption, 1799; Hygeia, 1801-2; On Fever as con-
nected with InBammation, 1807; Oood Advice to Hus-
bandmen in Harvest, ftc, 1808. In addition to all his
other literary labours he was a contributor to several of
the medical and literary journals. See Phil. Trans., 1791-
92 ; Med. Tracts, 1793, '94, '97 ; Nic Jour. 1800, '2, '6, '9.
See a list of his publications in Walt's Bib. BriU He was
an early patron of Sir Humphry Davy.

** He was a venr remarkable man, admirably fitted to promote
Inquiry, better than to eondnct It. , . . He had talents which
would have exalted Mm to the pinnacle of pUlosopbical eminence,
If they had been applied with dlsBratlon." — Sii HuHPmiT Davt.

Whilst preparing for the onivarsity he resided for two
years with the Rev. Samuel Diokerson, who remarks that
" Uls mind was so Intent apon lUacaiy ponulta, chiaSy tks ,

attainment of rlassiral learning, that T do not recollect bis having
devoted a single day, or even hour, to diversions or Mroloaa
amusements of any kind.**

A life of Dr. Beddoes was pub. by Dr. Stock in 1811.
Beddoea, Thomaa Iiovell, 1803-1849, son of the
above, and nephew to Maria Edgeworth, was entered in
his 17th year of Pembroke College, Oxford. In 1822 he
pub. The Bride's Tragedy.

" With all its extnira|!ancie«, and even dlllneaaee and IbUiea, It
shews Ikr more than glimpses of a tme poetleal genfna, mwh
tender and deep Coeling, a wantoning sense oT beauty, Ae.** —
BlaA-mxat Mag., xii. 723.

The Edinbnrgh Review prefaces an extract by remark-
ing:

" The following will show the way In which Mr. Beddoes manacea
a Bul^ect that poets have almost redaeed to eommonplaee. We
thought all slnulea for the violet had been used op; but be givaii
us a new one, that is very deHghtftal."

" Tbe ambition that had sn^ested The Bride's Tragedy died 111
the effort of producing It As with his school fellows, now with
tbe poets, his power onoe acknowledged, he abandoned farther
competlttou."

Alter his death a voL of his Poems was pnb., with a memoir
of the aatbor. Works, including Death's Jest-Book, 2 vols.
"All that we have quoted, ftagmentary as It Is, proclaims a
writer of the highest onler; — magnificent diction, terse and dosa
in expression, various and beantiful In modulmtlott, displaying
Imi^lnaUve thought of tbe highest reach, and sweeping the eorda
of passion with a strong and fearless hand." — timam Ktamimer,

" As a preacher, Mr. Beddome was nnlversslly admired fbr the

which was recommended by a delivery perfectly natural and

Bedell, Gregorr Townseiid, D.D., 1793-1834, for
twelve years Rector of St Andrew's Episcopal Church in
Philadelphia, epjoyed a wide reputation as a devoted
pastor, an excellent preacher, and a sealous promoter
of religious literature. Besides editing many books, ha
was author of a number of excellent worlu. 1. Esekiel's

several works for the Amer. 6. S. Union. This exemfdaij
man was remarkable for abundant labours persevered in
under great bodily indisposition. His biographer remarks,
** For several of tbe last years of his lUb he was kept In being
and In active etHxrU beyond any of the expeetatlona of nla Mends.
The kind providence of God had fcvonred him with the khld at-
tentions of a physldan. Dr. John K. MitcbeU of Phlladel]dUa. [sea

united with the ienderest concern for his patient's comfort, a clear
understanding of his constitution and habits, and the most no-
tiring assiduity in watching over his healtli, was blessed tnm
above to the preaervation of his life, and mitigating his suffiwlngs,
for several yean alter It was supposed by othera that he was vary
near the end of bis course."
As a pulpit orator, Dr. Bedell was greatly admired.
" Remarkable as were these many traits of exeellence. It was fak
the ptdpit that the pastor shone with tlw highest lustre. Clear,
simple, chaste, logical, impassioned, he combined the most oppoelta
qualities; and, althoogh reduced almost to a skeleton hf eon-
sumption, his magnificent voice, with its clsar aanndatloa and
dlverslfled Intonation, eould be beard at an almost Incredible dis-
tance. . . . Hopes of heaven, fears of hell, the beauty of hoUnesa,
the detbrmlty of sin, the goodness, the mercy, and the justice at
God, were In turn his theme ; and never did his people iHar abler
expositions, or more alfectlonately eloquent appsala." — J. K-

Behn, Aphra, Aphara, or Aflra, d. 1689, was the
daughter of Mr. Johnson, Oovemor of Surinam. She re-
sided for some time at Antwerp, where she was employed
as a secret agent of the English government She pab.
Poems, 1st vol. 1681 ; 2d 1685 ; 3d 1688 : these wore songs
and miscellanies by Rochester, Etberege, herself, and
others. She also wrote 17 plays, and several histories
and novels. See edits, in Lowndes's Bibl. Manual. She
was the anthoress of the celebrated letters between A
Nobleman and His Sister, and 8 love-letters of her own to
Lyoidas. Oronokoo, the American Prince, a Novel, (fh>m
which Sootfaem borrowed his Tragedy,) was the f^it of
her personal aeqnaintanee with that noted personage.
The paraphrase of (Enone's Epistle to Paris, in the Eng-
lish translation of Ovid's Epistles, is Mrs. Behn's :

''I was desired to ssy that the author, who Is of the Mr sex,
nnderstood not lAtin; bat If she do not, I am aftald she has given
US who do, occasloa to be ashamed." — Drydai^$ Pr^act to btnu.
<lf Omd.

But Drydsn did not always weigh his words. The li-
oentionsness of Mrs. Behn's pen is a disgrace to her sex,
and the language. Pope, by no means bstidions, yet re-
bukes Mrs. B. in a well-known couplet :

"The stage how loosely does Astrsea tread,* kc

"Host of her comedies have had the good Ibrtnne to please: and
tho^ it must be oonfest that she has borrowed very mneh, not only
ftnm her own Ooantrr Hen. bat likewise from the French Poets :
yet it may be Mid In her behalt that she has often been ttirc'd to
H through haste ; and has borrowed ttwa others Stores lather of
Gholoe than Ibr want of Wit of her own." — LaMgbain^g ZhVr
•Mtfe Aete.

•* But when you write of Love, Astres, then
Love dips his Arrows where yoa wet your pen.
Bach charming Lines did never Paper grace;
Soft ss yonr Sex, and smooth as Beauty's Face."

■lames VL appointed him Magister Supplioum LibeUomm,
,'. «. Reader of Petitions. He resided chiefly at Paris.
In 1608 he pub. Ciceronis Prinoeps ; an exposition of the
duties of a ruler, illustrated by the precepts of Cicero : to
this piece is prefixed De Prooessu et Soriptoribns Rei Poli-
ticse. In 1612 was pub. his Cioeronis Consul Senator
Senatusqne Romanus ; to the 2d ed. of this dissertation,
pub. in 1616, was appended the Libor de Statu Prisci
Orbis.

" The first two books are, In a geneial sense, political ; the last
relates entirely to the Roman polltj, but builds much political
precept on this. Bellenden seems to have taken a more compre*
benslve view of history In his first book, and to have refiected
more philosophically on It than perhaps any one had done before;
at least, 1 do not remember any work of so early an age whldi re-
minds me so much of Tlco and the Grandeur et Decadence of
Monteranleu, We can hardly make an exception fl>r Bodin, be-
cause the Scot Is so much more regularly historical, and so much
more concise. The first book contains little more than fcrtypagea.
Bellenden's learning Is considerable, and witbont that pedantry
of quotation which makes most books of the age intolerable. The
latter parts have leas originality and reach of bought" — BaUam't
lAt. Mid. Ages.

The three treatises were reprinted at London in 1787,
with a Latin preface, by Dr. Samuel Parr ; in this preface,
Parr celebrates Burke, Fox, and Lord North as "the
three English luminaries in oratory and politics." The
idea was snggosted by Bellenden's Do Tribus Luminibus
Romanorum, a piece originally intended to eulogise Cice-
ro, Seneca, and Pliny. Only the first part of this, that
relating to Cioero, appeared at Paris, 1634, folio, (one
copy, 1634;) Bellenden having died before he had time
to arrange his papers relating to the other two. From

Sr. Parr, in the prefiwe referred to, repeats the same
charge. Of this piece Mr. Hal lam remarks :

"The oelebrated preaKa at the editor hu bad the efltset of
edlpaing the original anthor ; Pair WM eonitantly leed and talked

Mr. De Qninoey hardly parmits eren Parr's Prehw to
etoape his wholMale castigatlon of the "Bizmingham
Doctor."

"Not one work of Dr. Pan's Is extant whldi can, without
janghter, aimme that Important name. Tbe preflKa to BeUeoden
Is, after ell, by mncb the welghtfaet and most rggnlar composition,
and tbe least ofa fbgltire tract Tet this la but a jeu tTeMprit^ or
eUasiaal prolusion. And we bellere tbe case to be unexampled,
that upon so slender a baeta, a man at the world, and reputed a
man of senae, abould aet up for an author. Well might the author

Bat Dr. Irring considers this celebrated Preface to be
Worthy of high praise :

"It Is written la a atjle of elegant and powerhl LatinHy, but
Ii too mneh rephmlahed with modem politics, and. In the opinion
of Bome readers, la not ftee froni a eonalderable mixture of {»
dantry. It la, however, aneh a eorapositlon aa no other Engllali-
nan of that period could perhapa hare produoed." — Aiqw. BriL

And why not? All extravagance, whether in praise or
eensure, is pretty sure to be incorrect. The Preface gave
rise to several attacks ; Remarka, Ac, 1787 ; Animadrer-

Beloe was one of the authors of the Biographical Dic-

Tooke, Morrison, aud Naree. He also oontribated several
articles to the QenUeman's Magaxlne, and many to tiie

ceaae of Mr. Beloe appeared The Sexageaarian, or the
Memoirs of a Literary Life, 3 vols. 8vo, 1817, written by
Mr. B., and edited by a friend. This work contains many
amusing aaecdotaa of the anther's literaiy eontemporaiies,
and the freedom of his strictnras is remarkable. Mr.
Lowndes condemns it in no measured terms ;

"These Tolomea fcr preanmptlon, mla^tatement, aud malignity
bare rarely been exceeded, or even equalled."

In the next year, 1818, a 2d edit appeared, in which
many passages of the 1st were omitted. Mr. B.'s tnma.
of Herodotus baa been commended by M. Larcher, wboea
knowledge of the original will hardly be disputed. Beloe
drew both trom this aathor'a researches, and from tbe late
discoveries in Afriea. Classical critics an too apt to de-
spise modem lUnstrations of ancient lore.

tbe breaking out of the late French war in 1793, he has departed
from the equanimity of an blttorian, and baa degenerated Into the

But it bu been remarlied that if we oompare this author
with the Nomun hiatorians who preceded him, we shall
find hia statements to be in ascordanoe with theirs. The
Chronicle was pub. by Miohel, Paris, 183S-S8, and '44.
The MS. nrom which it was printed is preserred in the
Brit. Maaenm, Harleian Collection, No. 1717. There is
also a HS. in the library of Tours in France.

Benoit's other great poem, whioh prol>ablj preceded the
Chronicle, was his metrical romance of the History of
Troy. It is

" Chiefly a paraphrase of the suppoittitlons blatory of the Phry-
gian Daraa, with soma additions tnta the similar work pablldied
under the name of Dietys; but the Anglo-Norman ^UTCtes Aith-
tal to the taste of his age, has turned the Oreclan aad Tro^n heroea
Into medieval knights and barons. ... It contains nearly thirty
thousand lines. It is a heaTT and dull poem, and poeeassee little
interest at the present day ; although it abounds in thoee repeated
deecrlptions of warihre which consUtuted the great beauty of such
fcoductions in the twelfth eentuiy."-— iV>^At.

There is a complete HS. of the Soman de Tioye in the
Harleian Collection, No. 4482. A HS. is in the Library
of St. Hark at Venice, extracts from wliioh are printed by
Keller, in his Romrart, p. 86.

These are the only works known to bare been written
\j Benoit. Tyrwhitt ascribes to him a Life of Becket, in
Anglo-Norman verse, bat H. de la Rne and Ur. Wright
decide this to be the production of a later Benoit. M. de
la Bae believed him to be the author of a song on the
Cnisads, at the end of the Harleian HS. containing his
ehroniele. B«t the leameA Hr. Thomas Wright proves
Ihis opinion to be erroneous.

John Locke, of making St. Paul his own expositor by illus-
trative references to various portions of his writings. It
has been highly commended.

" Locke, Pierce, snd Benson make up a complete commentary on
tile Epistlea; and are. Indeed, all In the number of the most Inge-
nious commentators I have ever read. They plainly thought very
^osely, and attended much to oonneetlon,-whlcfa they have often
set In a most dear view. But they all err in too great a fondness
for new lnterpretationB,andlnsuppoetngt]iedestgn of the apostles
less general than It seems to have been. It must be allowed that

manner, even beyond any former writer. See especially his Bpla-

100,000 eopiaa wen aold in the English language and trans-
lations. In 172i he pub. Virgil's Husbandly, with notes ;
and in 1730 Letters eoneeming poetical translations and
Virgil's and Milton's arts of rerse. In 1740 appeared an
•ditioa of Arthur Johnston's Psalms, with a Prefatory dis-
eoaree; and aeritioina on this prelbm in 1741. In a sup-
plement to this eaiay he drew a oomparison between John-
ston and Buchanan, giring the preference to the former.
Tkls drew forth an noanawerable defence of Buchanan
fiiem the celebrated Knddiman. His admiration for Milton
•ad Johnson is alluded to by Pope in the Dunoiad :
** On two unequal crutches propt he came,
MIlton'H on this, on that one Johnston's name."

Pope's indignation, and that of the conntty at large, was
•zciied by the appointment of Benson to the post of sur-
Tayar-general in 17 IS, in place of Sir Christopher Wren,
ramoTad. Dr. Warton, in his notes on Pope, considers that
he has treated oar author with too much sererity :

''Benson is here spoken of too contenftptuonslj. He translated
•dttlnny. If not very paetically, the second book of the GeorEles,
with useful notes; he printed elegant edtttons of J<dmsU>n'B
peslms; be wrote a dlseourae on TCnUleatlon; he rescued bta
eoantry ftom the disgrace of having no monnment erected to the
BMinotT of Milton In Westminster Abbey; he eneonnued and
meed Pitt to translate the Xneld ; and he gave Dobson dClOflO Kr

able aversion to books, and passed his last days in retire-
ment at bis house in Wimbledon. The Ber. Francis Peck
dedicated to onr author his Memoirs of Cromwell :

and said to be the cheapest work ever published, had
reached the price of 12 to 14 guineas before the publica-
tion of the 2d edit, 1812, imp. 4to, and 25 copies on ele-
phant paper. William Stevenson pub., in 1817, a supple-
ment to the first, and also one to the second, edition.

" The knowledge of ancient architecture displayed in Bentham's
work ar exceeded all that bad been before written on that subject.
The Cathedral of Kly ftirnlsbed blm with examples of almost
every varied of style from the Ssxon eta to the Relbnnatloa.
Tbe charecteristte ornaments of each were carefillly studied by
him ; and his numemus quotations from anctent anthora prove
his dUlgence in historical research. In this work was firat brought
forward the presumed origin of the pointed arch, the chief featnro
of the Gothic style, on which the whole style seemed to have been
formed. This kind of arch Bentham suppoeed might have been
derived from the Interaection of two semlsdrcular arches, such as
are seen on the walls of some buildings erected soon after the
Norman ConqueaL Dr. Hilner, the historian of Winchester, has
since adopted this hypothesis, and supported It with a degree of
learned Ingenul^ which has given it much celebrity."

The poet Gray has been improperly credited with " tbe
architectural part of the History of Ely Cathedral." See
Dr. Milner's error on this subject, (in article Gothic Archi-
tecture, in Ree^s Cyolopssdia,) corrected in the Memoirs of
Bentham, prefixed to the new edit. (1812) of the History.
To this History tbe eminent antiquary. Rev. W. Cole of
Milton, and Dr. Bentham's brother, were considerable eoD-
tribntors. James Bentham, the son of die author, was
the editor of the 2d edition. As the author commenced
his history fVom hie father's collections, we have here the
pleasing spectacle of three generations being employed
on the same work.

" It Is probable that Mr. Bentham was determined to the pnisait
of eecleflsstical antiquities by the eminent exam^s of Bishop
Tknner, (a prebendary of tbe same stall which Mr. B. afterwards
held.) who had honoured the flimOy wKh many marks of his
kindness and friendship.''

Beatham, Jeremy, 1747-1832, was a natlre of Lon-
don, where his father and grandfhtber were attorneys.
He was so remarkable for an early love of books, that at
the age of five years he had acquired among the members
of the family the name of " tbe philosopher.^ He was ad-
mitted in his 14th year of Queen's College, Oxford, where
he at once became distinguished among his fellow stu-
dents. After attending the celebrated Vinerian Lectures
of Sir William Blackstoae, he was called to the Bar about

1772, but soon abandoned the profession from disgust at
the nq{as( charges to suitors, and other corruptions which
he found existing in the machinery of law. Mr. Bentham
Tlsited Paris on three different occasions prior to the com-
mencement of the French Revolution, In the second of
these visits he became acquainted with the celebrated
Brissot de Warville, who has left a graphic sketch of the
character of his friend. A still more important event was
bis introdnction to M. Dumont, the Marquis of Lans-
downe's Swiss librarian, then residing at Bowood. The
literary assistance of this gentleman in amending and
polishing his friend's composition, was invaluable. The
great object of Mr. Bentham's life was tbe improvement
of legislation and Jurisprudence, and the advocacy of the
principle of utility as the criterion of right and wrong.

"In the phrase ' the greatest happhiess of the greatest number,*
I then saw delineated ft>r theflrrt time [In PrieeUey's pamphlet] a

useftU, useless, or mischievous In human conduct, whether in the
field of morals or politics."

Bat the questions immediately ooenr — What is to be the
definition of the greatest happiness t Is it happiness for
time or for eternity that should be man's great object?
Do not men's actions continually prove that, unassisted
by Revelation, they are equally incapable of judging what
is their true happiness, and of pursuing it when known ?
If a supposed utility, rather than a fixed principle, is to
direct action, men must judge what utility is, and there
may be as many opinions as there are judges; — all cannot
be right and all may be wrong; but obedience to tbe re-
real^ will of God ni»( in all cases be safe and profitable.
Is it to be supposed, then, that the Supreme Being has left
his creatures under the constant necessity of action, and
has given them no means save their own wild eoqjectures,

of asoertiiining either what will pleue their Creator, or
promote their own happiness? Nothing, indeed, more
CODclnsiTeljr prores the necessity of a Revelation, than the
crude conjectures and childish fallacies, the baseless pre-
mises and lame and impotent conclusions, of philosophi-
cal and moral speculators, from Socrates to Voltaire, fVom
Zeno to Bentham. Jonathan Dymond, with the simple
Word of God as his weapon, can discomfit a host of inch
"philoBopher8,"and put "to flight all the armies of the alien."

Mr. Bentham's first pnblication was A Fragment on
Ooretnment ; t>eing an Examination of what is delivered
on the Bnhjeot in Blackstone's Commentaries, Lon., 177S,
8vo. This work, he tells us, was prompted hj " a passion
for improvement in those shapes in which tho lot of man
is meliorated by it." This was published anonymously. The
liOn. Monthly Review indignantly remonstrated upon the
writer's treatment of Blackstone :

" We cannot avoid expressing our dlsrnst at the severity with
which the Jnstlv admired Commentator Is treated in the (rltlqne
nowbeftmus. Inonlertoeonvictfalmofobaciirityandliiaoeniecy,
this aivmymoitt Writer has taken much pains — It must be owned,
with some Ingenuity — ^to analyse those passsxee In the Introduc-
tion to his work which treat of the sutject of Cravernment In gene-
ral : and has scrutinised every word and Idea with a degree of
rigour, which ftw even of the most admired writers would be able
to endure. ... In what the author advances concerning the Bri-
tish oonstltation, he controverts, with a mixture of argument and
lanieiy, many popular opinions; with what success we shall not at
present undertake to detarmlne.'*

His View of the Hard Labour Bill appeared in 1778,
and the Principles of Morals and Legislation in 1780. The
Defence of Usury was pub. in 1787.

" If we mistake not, this tract will ftamlsh ground for many
ample dtocnsalons, that will, we hope, termlnateln the emancipat-
ing the human mind Arom many gnat errors that capitally In-
fluence the business of human llib. . . . We view It as a polltleal
gem of the finest water, that rotiuiree only to be examined with
attention In order to be admired.** — Lon. Mmthfy Bevieto,

" A work unanswered and unanswerable ; and not less admlia-
Uy reasoned than happily expressed." — ^inburi/h Aniiew.

** Perfaape the best specimen of the exhaustive discussion of a
moial or political question, leaving no objection, however fteble,
ODanswerad, and no difficulty, however small, unexplained ; re-
markable, also, for the eleamem and spirit of the style, t)r the fUl
exposltlou which suits them to all Intelligent readers, ibr the ten-
der and skllftil hand with which prejodfee Is touched, and for the
urbanity of tils admirable apology fiir proiectors." — 8n Jma
Mackintosh.

The Prineiplei of Morals and Legislation was pub. in
1789, (printed in 1 780,) and in the next year he Gommnni-
cated a plan of making oonviots useful, in his Panopticon,
or the Inspection House. Two years later he pub. Truth
eeriiM Ashurst, Ao., and in 17S5 Supply without Burthen,
or Escheat vice Taxation ; to which ho prefixed his Protest
against Law Taxes.

"It appears to us that this Kssay Is a hasty and undigested per-
iuinance, and that It required more conitldemtion than ue author
has bestowed on It."' — Lon. MmMlf Rrvievi.

The same periodical had remarked of the Prineipiee of
Morals and Legislation, that Mr. Bentham,

<• Uke many ouier men of great and onrnprehenslve minds here
seems to bareengaged in a pursuit too extenslre, perhaps, for the
powers of any Individual of^the human race to execute with pre-
dston and propriety."

Mr. Bentham's principal work was first pnhlished in
French in 1802. ItisentitledTrait^sde Legislation Civile
et PCnale; pr^cM^s do Principes Odnfraux de Legislation,
•t d'one Vue d'un Corps complet de Droit; terminus par
nn Essai snr I'inflnence des Tems et des Licux relative-
ment aux Lois, Paris, an. z., 1803. This work was trans-
lated into French by M. Dumont "d'apris les Manusorits
confids par I'Auteur." Wo should not omit to notice Mr.
R. Hildreth's translation of this work into English, Boston,
2 vols. 12mo, 1840.

Other works of Bentham's are, A Plea for the Constltn-
tion, 1803. Scotch Reform Considered, 1808. Defence of
Economy against Burke, 1810-17. Ditto against Rose,
1810-17. Elementsof the Artof Packing, 1810-21. Th«orie
des Peines et des Recompenses, redigie en Fran^ais par
Dnmont, 1812.

"The lawstndent cannot Ml In behigmneh dellythted with this
work ; it isa book replete with original and phlloeoptaieal thoughts
and sound ptactkxl obaervstions, conveyed in a manner of pecu-
liar force, and often In language of great novelty and appropriate-
ness; In fine, in a style not entirely Mr. Bentham's, bnt In his best
Banner, with the exception of his Essay on Usury, and his Frag-
ments on Oovsmment.''— HttrsKm'' Leiti Sbtdy.

" Mr. Bentham has partkulariy and phlloaophlcally examhied
the subject of pnnlslmient. His writings have been and wUI be
of great pracUeal benefit to mankind. They will fcrm the mine
wherein statesmen are to work for the ore that must be converted

and, what to most men would be, the tedkius, scrutiny of existing

to give the UUea of idl the pablieationa of tbi* Toluminons

his death were. The 1st vol. of a Constitutional Code ; OS-
cial Aptitude Maximized; Expense Minimised; Justice

Cititens ; Letter to the French Chamber of Peen, and Re-
marks on the Bankruptcy BilL An edition of his works
has been pub. in 11 vols. 8vo, Bdin., 1843, edited by Dr.
Bowring, with an introdnction by J. H. Burton, Esq. We
shall now proceed to give some opinions on our celebiated
author and his productions. We make a brief aztnct fVom
Brissot's celebrated sketch :

" Candour In tlie countenance, mildness In the looks, serenity
upon the brow, calmness In the language, coolness in the move-
ments. Imperturbability united with the keenest feeling; such an
his qualities. . . . When he had examined all these wreclcs of Gothic
Law, and collected his materials, he applied himself to the oon-
stmctioo of a systematic plan of drll and criminal law, founded
entirely upon reason, and having Ibr Its object the happlneas of
the human race."

Dr. Parr, a small man with a great name — a man ridieu-
lously overrated — perhaps overpraises Bentham as mnoh at
Bishop Butler overpraises Parr:

"Br. Parr considered Jeremy Bentham as the wisest man of hla
time, whose powerful and penetrating mind had anticipated the
Improvements of coming ages, and who. on the all-Important sub-
ject of Jurisprndenee has discovered and collected knowledge,
w^lch will scarcely find Its way to the great mass of human Intel-
le^ perhape through the eonrse of another century."— Aeld*« £(^
</rtrr, vol.11., pTaos.

••In Jeremy Bentham the world has lost the great teaser and
patriot of his time; the man who, of all men who were living on
the day of hla death, has exercised and Is exercising over the tof
tunes of mankind the widest and mostdurable luflnenoe. . . . Than
are some most Important brandies of the science of law which were
in a more wretched slate than almost any of the others when he
took them In hand, and which he has eo exhausted, that he seenu
to have left nothing to be sought by future Inquirers; we mean
the denartmenta of procedure, evidence, and the Judicial establlsb-
ment.'^LofMfoii Examiner.

The Traites de Legislation Civile et Penole was reviewed
at length by Lord Jefifl^y in tiie Edinburgh Review:

" The plan which Mr. Bentham has chalked out for himself la
this undertaking. Is more vast, and comprehensive, we believe, than
was ever ventured upon belbre by the amUlion cf any one Indi-
vidual. It embmces almost every thing tliat Is tanportant In fhs
science of human nature, and not only touches upon all the h^iar
questions of government and legislation, but Includes most oHhe
abstnict principles of ethics and metaphysics, and piofljisus to de-
llneate those important rales by which the finest snaculatlons of

Sdloeophy may be made to exert their Influence on the actual con-
tion of society. . . . Notwithstanding all thatM. Dnmont has dons
to render the work popular, we are aftald that It will have fiiwer
readers than It deserves. Those who do read It, will also dissent,
we should Imagine. fWan manv of the author's fundamental pfliK
dplee; bnt they will InfiUUbly be dellghled with the sagsdU and
Independence which distinguish all his speeulallons, and wDl
look forward with Impatience to the pnbllcatkm of his entire eye-
tem."— TOI. iU 1804.

The reviewing of the Book of Fallacies, (pub. 1824,) fell
to the lot of the witty author of Peter Plymley's Leltera.
We oommend the critique to the attention of our readers.
Sydney Smith introduces tho sulOeot in his own amusing

great severity ; whilst, on the other hand, Hr. E. SinclaSr
CuUen declares that wlten he reads the eritioiams of those
who—

■"Bounded by natara, narrowed stUl by art,
A trifling head, and a contracted lieart,* —

I can offer any worthy homage to a penon so celebrated In all
quarters of the world aa a benefsctor to mankind."

In a similar strain, a writer in the New Monthly Maga-
line does not scruple to say that "a knowledge of his
works is a key which unlocks all the mysteries of social
and political government." The advocacy of Mr. Mill
and tiie strictures of Sir Samuel RomiUy, Sir James Mack-
intosh, and Hr. Maeaulay need only be referred to here.
Our utilitarian philosopher was not considered unworthy
the adulaUott of princes. Talleyrand made a proposal a
few weeks before the author's death to have a complete
edition of his works published at Paris in the French lan-
guage. The Emperor Alexander sent him a diamond ring,
which, aa Major Parry thinks, to his " immortal honour,"
but aa we think, rather in bad taste, he retnmed.

In the words of Sir James Hackfaitosb,

*■ It cannot be denied without liOustice and ingratitude, that
Mr. Bentham has dona more than any other writer to rouse tha
spirit of Juridical reformation which la now gradually examining

Bentley, Richard, D.D., 1661-2—1742, was a native
of Oulton, near Wakefield, in the West Riding of York-
shire. In 1676 he was sent to St. John's College, Cam-
bridge, where be gave such proofs of applicatiuQ to his
studios, that at the early age of twenty he was nominated
by the Fellows of St John's to the head-mastership of the
grammar school of Spalding, in Lincolnshire. After hold-
ing this situation for a twelvemonth, he accepted the office
of domestic tutor to the son of Dr. Edward Stillingflee^
the Dean of St Paul's, and subsequently Bishop of Wor-
cester. In 1692 he received a prebend in Worcester Cathe-
dral, and was appointed to deliver the first series of the
Boyle Lectures. In the next year he was made keeper of
the Royal Library at St James's. In 1695 he was mads
chaplain in ordinary to die King; and took his degree of
D.D. at Cambridge, in 1696. In February, 1700, he was
installed master of 'Trinity College, Cambridge, and in the
same year was collated to the archdeaconry of Ely, vacant
by the death of Dr. SaywelL In 1717, by the death of
Dr. James, the Regius Professorship of Divinity became
vacant, and was obtained by Dr. Bentley by the use of the
most skilful management Our space will not permit us

Conyers Hiddleton, who was snstained by the Vice-chan-
cellor's court Bentley treated the authorities with tha
same contempt which he had displayed for bis accuser;
and on his refusal to make reparation, the senate, by a
large majority, deprived him of all his degrees. This de-
cree was followed by a lively controversy, In which Hid-
dleton displayed great ability. The Fellows of Trinity at

tilia eommiuloned Dr. Onana, tba Bishop of Ely, to irj
Dr. Bantley npoB twenty oat of the lixty-fonr artielaa ex-
hibited kgainat him. The Biahop aentenced him to be de-
prived of hia muterahip, end hia enemies seamed to have
oompletely triumphed. Bnt Bentley wm not easily out-
witted. The sentence of the Biahop oonld be pnt in eze-
ention by none but the rieo-msator ; Bentley placed his
devoted adherent, Richard Walker, in that office ; and the
n«w ineumbent, pleading that kt waa not the aama viee-
master, refuaed to carry the sentenea into execution. In
17S8 Bishop Oreene died; the proceedings were not re-
vived, and Bentley triumphed ; holding out for 28 years
against all right and law, despising alike ecclesiastical
anthority, and the eensore of the university. We will now
tarn to a more pleasing subject— the literary character of
this great scholar and eminent classical critic

Hia first publication was Bpistola ad clamm viram Joan-
nem Hillium, appended to the Oxford edition of the Chro-
nicle of Joannes Malelas Antiochenus. This dissertation
at once established his reputation throughout Europe aa
" a critic of the very highest order of excellence." It waa
received with the "loudest commendations by Grasvins
and Biekiel Spanheim ; and has ever sinoe been spoken
of by the Aret critics with reverence and wonder. See, in
particular, Rahnken'a preface to Albert! Hesychiua."

"There la, perhaps, no learned work of the ume oompaas which
can be compared with it ftn- ingeDalty, origtnalitv, and eoploas
eradition. The observations on Heeydiilus are partleularly valu-
able."

" Wben we consider the number of topics discussed — of which
manj were among the moat ofaecure aod lotrleate within the whole
range of phllologleal erltidsm, — the reach and orlglnalltr of his
apeenlatlona on qaeatloBs rappoaed to have been exhaosted bj the
MsniiDg and mffluAty ai his predeeeaors, — the prodigkras dliqptaj
of erudition, appaientlv not lesa extensiTe, and IncompaiBbly more
accurate than that of Balmaslas, Sealiger, or Oasanbon — the close,
irresistible logic with which he supports sll his discoveries and
eonduslons, — and the animation or his strle, which throws a
charm and Uvellneas over suhjeeta natntslly the most devoid of
Interest, we may safely prononnee the Epistle to Dr. Mill to be one
<k the meet extraordinary perlbnnances In the entire compass of
elsssleal literature. Indeed, bnt for one of the sabsequent pro-
dnetlons of the same antbor, it would have remained to thte day
nnrivalled."— CknurAifkast'i Bitg, BiMl,

Mr. Hallam, after remarking that Bentley was the great-
est English oritio in hia own, or possibly any other, age,
proceeds to notiee the Epistle to Mill :

" la a desnltory and alsMst gamkms strain Bentley poors trth
an Immense store of novel learning and of acute criticism, eepe-
elally on hie flivonrlte subject, which waa destined to become his
glory, the scattered relics of the ancient dramatists. The style of
Bentley, always terse and lively, someUmes hnmorons and dryly
sareasUe, whether be wrote In Latin or In £rigllsh« could not but
augment the admiration which his kamlng challenged. Qnerlns
and Spanheim prononneed blm the rising star of British litera-
ture, and a eomepondenee with the ftrmer began In 1092, which
eenttnned in nnbroken fHandsUp till Us dsath."— Zil. tifBiavpe.

In 1S96 he tnuiamitted to fitavioi his notm and emen-
datione on CaUtmaahna, with k large ooUaction of the
fkmgments of that poet.

" The erudition and critical aenmen displayed In these conhrl-
buttons to his fHend's edition, were inch as ftilly to sustain his
aspntatlon as the first scholar of modem times.**

The celebrated controversy respecting the ganainenesa
of the Epistles of Phalaris now claims our attention. Sir
William Temple had cited the Epistles of Phalaris and the
Fables of ^sop as conspicuous instances of the superiority
of ancient literature over modern. Wotton replied wiUi
ability ; and Bentley promised to prove that the iBsoplan
Fables were not iBsop's, and that the Epistlea of Pfaalaria
ware a modem forgeiy. A new edition of the Epiatlea
was preparing about mis time at Christ Church College,
Oxford, and the Honourable Charles Boyle, a student in
the college, was selected aa the editor. The preface to the
new edition contained a censure npon Bentley for a sup-
posed want of courtesy respecting the use of a H8. in the
fibraiy at 8L James's. The bookseller, Bennat, had at-
tempted to oovar his negligence by throwing the blame
npon Dr. Bantley, the librarian. The latter wrote to Mr.
Boyle, and explained the facts of the caae. Boyle replied,
that

" What Mr. Bentley had said might be tme, bnt that the book-
■sHer had represented the matter quite otherwtos, and that Mr.
Bentlev mixnt seek his redrsss In any method he pleased."

In 1097 Wotton pnUiabad a new edition of his Reply to
Sir William Temple, and begged hia friend Bentley to fnl-
m hia promise, and famish him with the proof of the spa-
rioasness of the Epistlea to Phalaris, the Fables of .£sop,
and the Letters of Themistocles, of Socrates, and of Eu-
ripides. Dr. Bentley complied with the request, and com-
posed a masterly demenstratioB of the position which ha
had so baldly assamed.

The acholara of Christ Chuidi, amased bat act aOanead,
datermined to encounter their formidable opponent, and
deputed a committee, consisting of Atterbuty, Smalridgs^
Anthony Alsop, and the twQ brothers Freind, to carry on
the war. Atterbury, afterwards Bishop of Rochester, was
the principal champion. The r^oinder appeared in Mareh,
1698. It was styled Dr. Bentley's Dissertations on the
Epistles of Phalaris and the Fables of .£sop, azaminad
by the Hon. Charles Boyle. This work waa aa oontemptibia
in point of philological learning as it waa brilliant in th*
more popular qnaliUas of wit and satire.

" It waa reeelTed by the Uteraiy world with a tempest of a^
planse. Wits and witlings, poets, mathematicians, and ami.

anaries concurred in celetoatiisg the Imaginary triumph of the
xonians, and persecuting the great critic who was soon to cmah
them at a blow."

Pope, Swift, Aldrich, Oarth, Dodwall, and Conyers Hid-
dleton ware among his opponents. Dr. Gartii has starao-
typed his own ignoranoe in the wall-known oonplet in hia
Diapenaary :

" So diamonda owe a lustre to their fbil.
And to a Bentley 'tis we owe a Boyle."

Swift's Battle of the Books is about the only one of all
the satires aimed at Bentley which is now known to the
general reader. But the triumphing of the Pigmies was
short. In 1699 the doctor carried dismay into the ranks
of the adversary by the " unrivalled and immortal" Dis-
sertation upon the EpisOes of Phalaris, with an Answer to
the objeetions of the Hon. Bobt. Boj^e. The victory wai
complete : the enemy was made to " bite the dust," and
the battle waa at an end.

"To thoae who nerer critically examined this truly stupeikdous
production, it is impossible to convey aa adequate conception of
its merits. To affirm that it vindicates the character of Bentley In
every particular on which it had been assailed, and, with one in-
eonsMerable exception, snstsins every position that he had ad-
vanced In the original dissertatlott upon Phalaris, Is saying Uttlsk
It Is replete tbronghoat with teaming of tlie flneet and rarest
quality. The same unequalled Ibroe and subtlety of intdleet
which had distinguished the sppendlx to the Chronicle of Malela%
la hers exblbltsd to even greater advantage. Tba style, thoagll
wanting In harmony and eleganee. Is (till of easily ; and the ink
and sarcasm with whkh the whole piece abounds, if laiwlor to
that or his adrersaries In the qoalitles of eaae and grace, Is eqnal,
perhaps superior, In pnngoncy. This Incomparable work waa^
after an intensl of nearly eighty years, translsted Into Latin by
Lennep, s scholar of eminence, and one of the pupils of the lllaa-
trluus Valckenaer." — t^tnningham*M Biog. But,

" It mar be said, with per^t truth, that, as a eomUnatSon of
profound learning and groat origliiality with lively wit and soiud
logic. It has never been paralleled. Although It came forth as aa
ooeailDiial and controversial work, such Is toe fulness with wtrtdk

In our unlvenltles, and will always continus to be rtad sveik by
those who have no Interest in, nor aeonalntaaoe with, the book to
which It is professedly sn answer." — Bote^M Bicg. DiaL

We have quoted Mr. Hallam's observations on the Epis-
tle to MilL This eminent authority proceeds to remark :

" Bnt the rare qualitiea of Bentley were more abvndantly dta.
played, and before the eyes of a more numerous tribunal. In his
Bunous dissertation on the epistles ascribed to Pbalaria ... It
was the first great literary war that hsd bsen wsged In KngiaBd;
and Ilka that of Troy, It has still the prerogative of being nanws
bered, after the Eplstlae of Phalaris are alraoat aa much buried aa
the walla of Troy itaelf. Both combatanta were skOtUl in wielding
the aword : the arma of Boyle, In Swift's language, were given
htm by all the gods ; bnt his antagonist stood forward In no saoh
flgorstlve strength, master of a learning to which nothing paial-
1m bad been known in England, and that directed by an under-
standing prompt, dlscrimlruttlng, not idly akeptica], bnt still fla^

In 1708 Bentley addrened to Lndolph Kaster, who was
•nga^ed upon an edition of Ariatophanea, Three Critical
Spiatlea, containing annotationa upon the Plutna and tii«
Hnbce. In the next year he oommanioatad a number of
Dotea to Daviea'a edition of the Tnseulan Questiona of
Ckiero. Tbeae were foUowed by the celebrated Emenda-
tiooi of Henander Philemon. How sererely be rebaked
the pceaunption of L* Clere, and tiie oontroreny which
■Baaed thereon, are mattera donbtleu familiar to many of
onr reader*. Hia edition of Horace, which had engaged
him for ten yean, wa« publiahed at Cambridge in 1711,
4ta. Thia work elaima Iwth praiae and eenanre. The
ilbaatratiTe annotationa, and many of the emendstiona,
•ra invahiable ; the chronology liaa been approTed aa sound,
mad the logieal aeuteneae and penetrating aagacity of the
editor cannot Im sufficiently aidmirad ; but, on the other
band, indefensible liberties are taken with the text, and a
ee^jeotural fabric of nnwieldy proportions is erected upon
a narrow basis of probability. The errors of ao eminent
a eriUe were not allowed to pass without chastisement.
Ker and Johnson, and long afterwards, Cunningham, in
Ilia riral edition of Horace, (1721,) Tisited the offences of
the great master with a rod of iron. In 1713, under the
■ignatare of Philelentheros Lipsiensis, onr author casti-
gated Anthony CoUina for hia Discourse of Free-thinldng,
pal), in the aame year.

"Thia Tolnma etaonld be Ktudied by erery man who la deelrona

Hia great sermon on Popery was preached and published
ia 171i. Some Remarks upon it were pub. by John Onm-
naiag in 1718. In 1720 he issued his Proponla for print-
ing a New £dition of the Greek Testament. Hia letter to
Aiehbishop Wake upon this subject was dated four years
•aiUor. Bentley designed to restore the text of the Oreek
Testament to the same state in which it was at the Council
of Niea. His plan was " to amend the Sreek text through
the Latin Vulgate, in the same way as the version of Plato
hjr IL Ticino is made the basia for correctiona of the Oreek
text of that pbilosmher." The 22d chapter of the Apoca-
lypee was pablished with the proapectua as a specimen ; a
Dnaher of IISS. had been collected, and £2000 anbscribed.
The Preposala were assailed by Conyers Hiddleton in a
tone of great sererity. Bentiey replied to the attack — for
which he held Dr. Collwtch parUy responsible— bnt he did
not carry out hia projected new edition. Whether he would
bare fallen into the errora apprehended by Broesti, of
attaching too great weight to those Greek MS8. which hare
been interpolated from the Latin version, and to those La-
tin MS& which he auppoaed to contain the genuine ver-
■ioD of Jerome, whioh caKsiuly followed the text of Ori-
gea — it is of course impoaaible to decide. Kmesti draws
these eonelnsiona from Benticy's proposals, but what scho-
lar does not improre — and sometimee completely alter —
the original design 7 It is proper to remark here, in con-
Bezion with the reference to Middletoo, that in 1721 Bent-
ley was restored by a peremptory mandasms to all the de-
grees and privileges ef which he had been deprived.

In 1725 appeared his celebrated edition of Terence. This
is carefully prepared, and will bear the test of criticism.

"The Schedlasma on Latin motrea whtrh is prefixed to It, Is

Dr. Hue, whom Bentley designed to, and did, anticipate,

toia Critics Passing over for the moment a review of
Bentley'a revision of Paradise Loat, we briefly notice a
labcor for which the oritie was mnch better quidifled — his
design to raatora the text of Homer to the state in whioh
it had been left by the ancient rhapsodlsls.

nse at the time when the Homeric poema were eomposed. V^
letter, which Is ecmmonlj called the d^sesui, has a slgniflcaBeo
even for the leaders of onr lighter llteratnie. Most persons are
ftunUlar with the lines which Pope. In the Itanrth book of his Dnik-
dad, puts Into the month of Bentley :

* Roman and Greek grammarian, know your better, —
Author of aomethlng yet moiv great than letter;
While towering o'er yoor alphabet, like San],
Stands our dlgamma, and overtops them all.'

'"The last line retSsrs to the repreaenistion of the dlgamma by a
capital 1, In two quotatkma from Homer which appeared in the
notes to HUton." See the excellent article on Bentley In Rose's
Blag. Diet; also sse Onnningham's Blog. KM.

BenUey had now reached the ripe age of seventy-two,
when he was arrested in hia labours upon Homer by a
paralytie stroke, which preceded his death about three
years. The corrections in bis copy of the poet were uEcd
by Heyne in his edition of Homer, and many of the emi-
nent critic's suggestions hare been printed by Mr. Donald-
son in the New Cratylus. His last employment was an
edition of Manilins, pub. in 1731) by his nephew, Richard
Bentley, We made a passing reference to our author's
proposed emendationa to the text of Hilton. For this
delicate, and, indeed, supererogatory, task, few men of
learning were less qualified. In those moat essential
points, a knowledge of the Italian and romantio writers,
religions sensibility, and a fervid imagination, he was re-
markably deficient. Even the command of Queen Caro-
line is no excuse for such an undertaking. BenUey should
hare deolined in Latin, and, if still pressed, expostulated
in Greek, and the business would hare dropped. When
Adam Smith remarked upon Johnson's recitation of Bent-
ley'a verses in Dodsley's CoUeotion, that they were "very
well! rery well," Johnson replied, with his usual acute-
ness, " Yes, they are rery well, sir; but yon may observe
in what manner they are well. They are the forcible
veraea of a man of atrong mind, but not accustomed to
write verae ; for there is some nncouthneas in the expres-
sion." The application to onr subject is obrioua. Fentoa
bad dropped a hint that some apparent errors in Paradise
Lost were probably occasioned by the carelessness or mis-
apprehension of the amanuensis who wrote what the bard
dictated. This eonjeeture is adopted by Bentiey, and the
unlucky amanuensis is not spared. We have idready for
exceeded oar intended limits, and con devote bat litUe
apace to a very amusing and very instructive subject.
Bentiey's mprmtmenU of HUton must be read to be ap-
preciated. It is possible that some one of our readers may
not have met with the eorrecttaa of tile grand line :
" No ll^ht, but mttaer darkness Tiaible."

Bentley kindly offers us the following:

" No light, but rather a (raiupiciiou fiooM."

Which doea the reader prefer ?

" As firom the centre thrice to the ntmoet pole,"
is "amended" to

" Distance which to express all measure ftlis.**
" Our torments, also, may in length of time
Baooms our elements,"
is changed to

" Thtn, OS 'taMU waR oAsirvad, cvr torments nay
Become oar elementa."
See an amasiag chapter upon this snbieet in Diaraelfs
Onrioslties of Literatnrew We subjoin tne following e]^-
gram on Bentiey's editorial labours :

"Ok MiLTOir'B SXECUnOZTKR.

A fVirtous fbe, unconscious proves a friend;

Bnt a warrior who hod gained so many battles on his
own element could well afford on occasional shipwreck,
when, like Pyrrho, he chose

"To sail npon a sea of speculation."
Whether the laudation be extravagant or not, he must
have great merits of whom the critic dares to say

" He standi undoubtedly the very first among all the phllologl.

the actual atoree of the learned world, or gave ao atrong an Infc.
pulse to the atudy of the ancient elaailcs.''-— CbanaitfAam't Biat,

With reference to Bentiey's position aa a scholar when
compared with the elassieal " gianta of those days," it vrill
be interesting to qnote the veralots of a few others, them-
aelves more or less imbued with tiiat love for the " wit and
genius of the heathen," which the great master of Trinity
acknowledged had " beguiled him."

Bishop Honk, hia learned biographer, styles him "the
most celebrated scholar of modem times."

Mr. De Qaincey makes an exception.

Edward Everett, a ripe HoUeniat, aa hii call to the Pro-
fessorahip of the Oreck language and literature in Har-
vard College, before he waa of age, may indicate, whilat
allowing that " Richard Bentley is the greatest oUsaieml
■oholar ever produced by England," proceeds to lemark
that

" Whether his name oonld be sathlj placed above tlat of Kna-
nus, Scaliger, and Uenuterhnji, not to mention any of the re-
nowned scholars of the last generation, may be a question on
which the learned of lingland and otlier conntrlea might differ.
But this we think may be safely said, that if Bentley, In all other
thlnn the mne, had passed his llle In the quiet of a University
In Holland or Germany;— If he had redeemed to thou studies tor
which he was bom, the time and the talents which he wasted in
the petty squabbles of his college mastership, he would unqnee-
Uonably have made himself beyond all rivelry, the most cele-
brated scholar of modem times.''— A«ira Amaicm Stxieta, voL

Bat what Mr. Everett is willing to admit Bentley might
have become under more favourable circumstances. Bishop
Uonk inaista he really was; and not satisfied with the on-
logy we have Just quoted, h* carries what gome will deem
extravagance to what many will pronounce absurdity, by
deolarinr that

" NotwIthBtanding Ida fhjqnent abum of bis erudition, snch is
the power of genius, and so great the preponderance of his solid
and unshaken mertts, that BenUey has established a school of
eriUdsm, of which the greatest scholars since his time have been
prand to consider tbemselvea members; and, In spite of the envy
and oivosition of his contempomriea, has attained a nun exalted
reputation than has hitherto been the lot of any one. In the de-
partment of ancient literature."

The biograpber'B episcopal brother, Bishop Lowth, ae-
eords to Bentley no small praise in declaring him to have
been " the greatest critic and most able grammarian of the
hat age," and Bishop Marsh, also, pronounces him to have
been "the most acute critic not only of this nation, but of
Ml Btirope."

The aoknowledgmenta ofHeyne, who enjoyed the great
•dvantage of the nie of Bentley'a annotated Iliad, when
preparing hi« own edition, are fieely expressed. The
foUowing "praise" la "faint" to abaordity :

A» a prMcber Bentley could not but occupy a high
place in point of depth, and the power of exciting that in-
terest which foUows the guidance of a great Intellect in
the contemplaUon of the duties of time and the awful re-
aUties of eternity. For that atyle of exhortation which
awakens the affections, and secures the couTictions of the
judgmenMjy the impolBes of the heart, the preacher was

nneqnal. He enforced the truths of revdatjon by ffib
teachings of nature, as expounded by her greatest inter-
preter, the immortal Newton. A sermon of Bentley's
based upon a thesis of Kewton's must have been an intel-
lectual gratification not unworthy an angelic asditoty.
But we fear that in simply " vindicating the ways of Gk>d
to man," but little would be done to reconcile the heart of
man to Ood. Aeeurats, precise, and exhaustive he could
not fail to be.

" Religloo was no less indebted to him tlian learning, ibr in
1601-92 he had the honour to be selected aa the first person to
preach at Boyle's Lectures, (tinnded by that great and honourable
gentleman to assert and vindicate the great fundamentals of
natural and revealed religion,) upon which oetaalon he suenaa-
fully applied Sir Isaac Newton's Prfndpia Hathematka to demon-
strate the Being of Ood, and altogether silenced the Athdata, who.
In thia country, have since that lime, for the moat part, sheltered
thenuelveB under Deism. In those seraiona he laid the hasia and
ibondatlen upon which all the anccesaon to that worthy ofUn
have since buIlL Though thia waa a taak of great extent, and BO
amaU diillculty, yet Mr. Bentley [at thia time only SO yean of MSk

tlon, that the trustees not only publicly thanked him for them,
but did, moreover, by especial command and desire, prBvall upon
Urn to make the said dinouraes public, upon whicfa he gave to the
world a volume, lesS, ito, containing eight Bennons, which have
not only undergone a number of editionB, but have been tiaaa-
lated abroad Into several langiiages."

" Inccmparable, and well calculated to give a proper direction to
a young man's mind In religious Inquiry, and to guard him against

We advise all of our readers to procure them ; and, in-
deed, the three volumes of Rev. Alexander Dyce's editions
of BenUey's works, Lon., 183fi-3S. We tmst that this
edition will yet be completed. The 3 vols, already pub-
lished contain : Vols. Land ii., Dissertations upon the Epis-
tles of Phalaris, Themistocles, Socrates, Euripides, and
upon the Fables of .£sop, and Epistola ad J. Millinm.
VoL iii.. Theological Works, vis. : Eight Bennons preached
at Boyle's Lecture ; Four Letters f^om Sir Isaac Newton
to Dr. BenUey; Three Sermons on Varioos Subjeete ; Visi-
tation Charge; Remarks upon a late Discourse of Fra*-
Thinking; Proposals for printing a new edition «f tha
Greek Testament, and St. Hierom's Latin Version; Oi».

■' We are glad to see, at last, the works of the fethce- of (and also
the best of) our critics, published collectively, and we are surpriaed
that It has not been done long aga Every thing that Bentln
wrote is excellent in Its kind. No man was ever bo acute and ju-
didooB in his critlclam, Bo convincing and logical In bis argument^
with such extensive and proibund learning, aa the writer of the
Diaaertatlons on the Epistles of Phalarla. WehavecaremUyhiiAcd
through these volumes, and can safely say, that Mr. Dyce hi a good
scholar, and a careful editor. Bentley could not have fellenlato
better handa"— £oii<l<>i< lAhrary Gaatte.

The Life of Bentley by Dr. Monk, Bishop of Glonceater
and Bristol, must not be overlooked by the reader. It was
first pub. in 1880, 4to, pp. »88, Ap. 83, and since in 2 vols.
8vo, This work has been commended as a model for works
of the kind. An abridgment of it will be found in HarUeT
Coleridge's Biographia Boreolis.

"TheIlfeorBentl9,impartiallyand aUy developed by Dr. Monk,
involving in great measure the ilteniy annala ot the Urat half of
last century, and the parilcular history of the Cnlveratty of Cum-
bridge, wax a desideratum which la now supplied in the moat satl»
fectory manner; and a sterling work has been added to the stona
of Brtllsb biography."- Zotujon Litmuy Gatrtlt.

To this invaluable work should be added The Corre.
spondence of Dr. BenUey, edited by the Rev. Christopher
Wordsworth, D.D., Canon of Westminster, Lon., 2 vols.
8vo, 1842. The reader may form some idea of the treasuna
contained in these volumes from the prospectus:

" This collection will eonslst of published and unpublMbed let-
ters, arranged in chrondlogtcal order, to and ftom Dr. Bentley, (rem
the BriUah M uaenm, the Lambeth, the Bodleian, and Chilst Oinr^
Llb™rieB; and ftom various books and several private sourtea;
and eanecially (han the Library and Archives of Trinity Collen,
Cambridge, whence, among other materials, about a hundred In-
edited lettera to Dr. Bentley tKim the Principal Continental !!<jiolan
of the 18th century have been supplied, by the permlsaion of the
Haatar and Bcholan of the College, Ibr this work."

It is proper to say that we owe the description of this
collection of correspondence to BenUey's admirable biogra-
pher. Bishop Monk. His lordship transferred the duty to
the late Rev. J. Wordsworth, and the brother of the latter
took up the unfinished task as a fntemal legacy. Dr.
Wordsworth takes occasion to enlarge eloqnenUy upon the
value of the Latin tongue aa a medium of interoonm for
learned scholara. He takes Kuster severely to task for
adding a broken English P.8. to a Latin letter. Dr. W.
opposes such barbarous innovaUons :

Berkeley, George, D.D., 1684-17SS, Bishop of
Cloyna^ in Ireland, was one of die most eminent pr^ntea
and distingniahed philosophers since the Reformation.
He was a native of Kilcrin, in the county of Kilkenny,
and descended from an English family lealoualy attaobed
to the cause of Charles I. He was admitted of Trini^
College, Dublin, at the age of 15, and became a Fellow in
1707. In this year appeared bis first publication, Arith-
metiea absque Algebra ant Euclids demonstnta. This
book was written tefore he was twenty.

" This little pleoe is so kr cnrions, as It shews Us sariy and
strong passion for the mathemstles, his admllmtton of those great
names m phlloeophy, Locke snd Newton, some of whose poalttoBS
be afterwards ventured to call In question, and the iiisiiaiiiaiinaiiBl
of his appHeatlon to tboas mote subtle mati^hysleal stadias to
which his gsnins was partienlariy adapted."

In 1709 he astaUuhed his repotadon a« a philaaopkar
by An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision, Dnb., 8ro.

"The first attempt that ever was made to dMhsguish ths Im-
mediate and natntal ol^^ects o{ sight, inn the oondnslons we have
been accustomed hem lnlui<7 to draw fr«n them ; a distinction
fhnn wbkh the nature of virion hath received great light, and by
wUdi many phenomena la optica, before locked upon as uaac-
eonntsble, have been cisarly aad distinctly raeolred.*— i>r. faiif «
hmdiy infa Me Mind.

It will be obeerved that this treatise was given to ths
world when the philosopher was but 26year« of age. In
1733 he pub. A Vindication of this Theory. Refer to
Bailey's Review of Berkeley's Theory of Vision, Lon.«
1842. In the next year, 1710, ha pub. his eelebnrfad
work, The Prineiples of Hnman Knowledge, Dublin, Svo,
and in 1713, Three Dialogues between Bylas and Pkilo-
lonons, Ac

" The oUeet of both pieess Is to prove that the comaoaly r»-
eetved notion of the existenoe of matter b folse; that nmelliln

but exist In It, snd are nothing mors than Impi isrions mad

It by the immmUaU act of Ood, aseorflng to aaiMn rales i

laws of natnre, ikaa which, in the ordinary eonise of his govei __
ment, he never deviates; and that the steady adherence of tkm
Supreme Spirit to (hrse rules Is what constltntss the rtaHfy mt

On another oeeaaion, the Doctor remarked :
"^rkdjy was a profound scholar, as well as a man of fine hn-

Undonbtedly the latter, if his theoiy was nothing but a

Dr. Beattie remarlu that

Thia ia pntting the ease strongly. Berkeley was as well
swan of the existence of stones and tables as Dr. Johnson
waa. Althoogh he considered his treatises to be contribu-
lioni to the eanse of revealed truth, some have conatraed

hearty ronnd at metaphysical disensaion, bethought him-
self of visiting the famous author of the Search after
Truth, which Truth was exaoUy what Berkeley was pre-
pared to give him. We are told that

" He found this Ingenkini Ikflier In his cell, cooking in a small
pipkin a medldne fcr a disorder with which he was then troubled,
—Inflammation of tlie lungs. The conversation naturally turned
on our author's ^stem. of mHA the other had received aome
knowledge from a tianslation Just pubUahed. But the issue of
this debate enved tragical to poor Halehianehe. In tlia heat of
disputation he mlsed Ids voice so high, and gave way so freely to
the natural Impetuosity of a man of parts and a Fronchman, that
he brought on iiimself a vkilent increase of his dlsoider, whldi
carried him off a few days after."

Mr. De Qnincey,in his paper On Murder Considered aa
One of The Pine Arts, gives the following amusing version
of this celebrated controversy :

" Malebianche, It will give you pleasure to hear, was murdered.
The man who murdered him is well known: It was Bishop Berke-
ley. The story Is Ikmlllar, though hHherto not put In i proper

P*n M alebntnche. He found him in his eell cocking. Cooks lav*

was both: a dispute arose; the old ather, warm alnaidr, became
warmer; culinary and metaphysical Irritation united to dersnica

slon of the story: 'So the whole ear of Bsnnmrk Is abased' The
Ikct Is, that the matter was hushed up, ont of eonsideimtloB tor
Berkeley, who (as Pope remarked) had ' every virtue under heaven :•
else It was well known that Berkeley, leeling kfaaself netUed br
the wasplahness of the old rrencfiman, squared at him ; a tunmi
was the consequence : Halebranehe wss fioored hi the first round •
the conceit was wholly taken out of him; and be would periupa
have given In j but Berkeley's blood was now up, and be Insisted
m the old Frenchman's retracting his doctrine of OccasioBal
CSsniiea. Ttie vanity of the man waa too great for this, and he fell
a sacrifice to the fanpetuoslty of Iiish youth, combined with his
own absurd obstinate ."

In 1713 he pub. Three Sermoni in tavoor of Passive
Obedience and Non-resistance, on Bom. ilil. J, 8to, S edi.
tions. This doctrine did not recommend him to the new
House of Hanover on the death of Queen Anne. In 1713
he visited London, where he becaine acquainted with Swift,
Arbuthpot, Pope, Addison, and Steele. Steele had just
commenced The Qnardian, and secured Berkeley's eontri.
buttons on the easy terms of one gainea and a dinner oaoh.
His papers are in defenoe of Christianity against Collins
and some other thick-headed gentlemen of the day. In
November,1713,be accompanied the Bail of Peterborough's
embassy to Sicily in the quality of chaphun and secretary.
Whilst absent he became senior Fellow of his college, and
m 1717 was created D.D. by diploma. Ha retunied to
Englaad in 1714, and waa attacked by a fever, for which
Arbnthnot prescribed i

"Poor phUosopher Berkelev has now the Mso of beaUh. which
was very^hard to produce in Urn; ibr he had aa «tei of a strange
fever on Um so strong, that It was very hard to deetrnv it bv r^
ducing a contrary one."— .^rewfAnol u, Sw\ft.

Despairing of preferment under the new government,
he accepted an offer to travel on the eoatinent with Mr.
Ashe, son of the Bishop of Clogher. They were absent
for four yean, and returned to London in 1721, in which
year he pnb. An Essay towards preventing the Ruin of
the Nation, in reference to the wild speculations engen.
dered by the South Sea Scheme. In 1718 Mm. Vanbom-
righ (Swift's Vanessa) left Berkeley, as one of her exeeu-
tors, the sum of £4000, and to the other. Judge Marshall,
Oie same amount j no doubt to the great disgust of Dean
Swift. In 1724 Berkeley was promoted to the Deanery of
Dorry, with £1100 per annum, and resigned bis Fellow,
ship. In 172S he pub. A Propoial for Converting the
nvaga Americans to Cbristlanily. To effect this pi^se
he was anxious to establish a coHege in the Berandas,
and exerted himself with so much diligence, that for thU
object bo procured a parUamentary grant of £10,000, and
several large private subscriptions. The queen oSered
him an early Bishopric if he would remain in England,
but Berkeley deolared that he should prefer the he^ip
rf St. Pauls College at Bermudas to the primacy of all
England. A charter was granted for the erection of a col-
lege, to oonsist of a president and nine fellows, who were
under the obUgaUon to maintain and educate Indian
scholars, at the rate of £10 per annum for each. Three
Junior fellows of Trinity College agreed to accompany
him, and to relinquish tbeir hopes of prefenaent at home,
for £40 per annum, and the opportunity of extensive mis-
■ionary usefulness. Berkeley, now in the tide of apparent
Mocess, gave vent to his feelings in thafoUowlng ode:

" Ibe muset disgusted at aa age and dims

In 1728 he married Anne, the eldest daughter of Mr.
Vonter, speaker of the Irish Honae of Commons, and im-
nediately after the oeiemony he embarked for the western
continent.

Of the dean's urlTal in Newport, Rhode Island, we
hare an aooount in the New England Journal, which pnb-
liahea a letter from a permn from Newport :

« Teatafday arrived here Dean Berkelay, of Londonderty, In a
pretty large ahlp. Ha Is a gentleman of middle stature, of an
agieaable, pleasant, and erect aspect He was ushered Into the
town with a great nnmber of gentlemen, to whom he behared
himaelf after a Tary complalaant manner. Tla aald be propoaea
to tany, with his fiunUy, about three months.**

In Poteraon's History of Rhode Island wo are told that
the pilot brought to Newport a letter ttom Berkeley to the
clergyman, Mr. Honyman, and a statement that a great
dignitary of the Church of England, called a Dean, was
on board the reasel, and that the letter was handed to Mr.
Honyman, who was in the pulpit He read it to the
andienee, and as it appeared that the dean might land
at any moment, the congregation was dismissed forthwith,
and ^, clergyman, Testrymen, wardens, male and female,
hurried down to the wharf to receiTe tbe great man with
their benedictions and welcome. At Rhode Island Berke-
ley resided for nearly two year*, preaching every Sunday
at Newport when there, and diligently performing pastoral
duty among the people. He waited in vain for a i«mit-
tanoe of the promised funds to establish his oollege in
what might be deemed a suitable location, but no money
oame. At last Bishop Oibson, at that time Bishop of
London, (in whose diocese all the West Indies are in-
eluded,) oalled upon Sir Robert Walpole, and begged to
know whether the money would be forthcoming or not
" If yon put this question to me as a minister," replied
Sir Robeit, " I must and can assnre you, that the money
shall most undoubtedly be paid as soon as suits with pub-
lic oonTenienee ; but il yon ask me as a friend whether
Dean Berkeley should oontinne in America, ezpeeting the
payment of £10,000, I advise bim by all means to return
home to Europe, and to give np his present expectations."
The advice of the miserable time-server, the Oreat Cor-
rupter, was taken, and the good dean returned home.
On the great day of account we wonld not bear Walpole's
lasponsibility for worlds I To Tale College Berkeley pre-
■ented 880 volumes ; to Harvard Library valuable dona-
tions of Oreek and Latin Classics, and his Whitehall es-
tate of 100 acres to Tale and Harvard Colleges, for three
■oholarships in Latin and Greek. This endowment has
become very valuable. The sojourner at the boautifbl
town of Newport will find inscribed on the organ in the
Tenerable "Trinity Church" the inscription, "The gift of
Bishop Berkeley."

In 1733 our author pub. A Sermon on John zviii. S, and
Alciphron, or the Minute Philosopher, Lon., 8vo. This
work, whieh is a defenoe of religion against the systems
«f the atheist, fatalist, and skeptic, in the form of a dia-
logne, on the model of Plato, was written in hours of lel-
fore^ whilst at Newport Dr. Sherlock, afterwards Bishop
of London, carried the work to Queen Caroline, whose ad-
miratian of the author was still farther increased, and she
proenred for him the Bishopric of Cloyne, to which he was
eonsaerated in ibjJ, 1784. The Eari of Chesterfield offered
him the see of (3ogher, whieh was double the value of
that of Cloyne, and fines to the amount of £10,000 were
then due ; bat the bishop declined the proSisr, remarking
t» Mn. Berkeley,

"I daaira to add cm lagra to tha IM of ehantaBSB who an

The principal answer to the Analyst was supposed ta
have been the production of Dr. Jnrin; it was entitled
Philalcthes Cantabrigiensis ; the bishop answered this ly
A Defence of Free-5iinking in Mathematics, 173S; and
Philalcthes responded in the Minute Mathematician. In ■
173d, also, appeared Berkeley's Querist, intended to stimu-
late the Irish to develop the resources of their own conn-
try. His Discourse addressed to Magistrates, occasioned
by the enormous license and irreligion of the times, ap-
peared in 1730,- Maxims Gonceming Patriotism in 17i0,
and Measure of Civil Submission in 1784, (posthumous.)
We class these tracts together, as they are of the sane
character. Having been benefited by the use of tar-water
during an attack of nervous colic, his active philanthropy
induced him to give to the world in 1774, Siris, a Chain
of Philosophical Refiections and Inquiries lespecting tbe
virtues of Tar- Water in the Plague, 8vo; enlarged and
improved, 1747, 8vo. In French, Amst, 1745, 12mo. Far-
ther Thoughts on Tar- Water, I7i2, 8vo. Many publica-
tions on both sides of the question followed the bishop's
work. We shall refer to it again before we close this
article. The good man's health was now venr infirm, and
he longed — as we all promise ourselves to do — to spend
some time in retirement friim the world before he shoaliL
"go hence to be no more soen." With this object, ha
begged leave to resign his bishopric, or exchange it for a
eanonry at Oxford. The king however declared that Dr.
Berkeley should " die a bishop in spite of himself," but he
had full permission to reside wherever he might think
proper. He accordingly removed to Oxford, letting tha
lands of his demesne at a rental of £200, whieh 1m di-
rected to be applied to the relief of the poor during his
absence. He was to retam no more; he "had finished
his course;" and only a few months after his arrival at
Oxford, one Snnday evening, whilst engaged in devout
discourse with his family on the lesson in the Burial Ser-
vice, he was added to the many confirmations of the solemn
declaration, " In the midst of life, we are in death ;" and
without a moment's warning was ushered into the awtlal
presence of the "Judge of all the earth." In 1776 was
pub. An Account of his Lilb, with Notee, containing Stri»-
tnres upon his Woiks, 8vo. In 1784, his Whole Worka,
with an Acoount of his lift, and several of his Letters to
Thomas Prior, Esq., Dean Oerrias, and Mr. Pope, Ac, by
T. Prior, EsOm 2 vols. 4to. There have been two recent
edits, of his Works, one in 8 vols. Svo, and another ij
Rev. O. N. Wright, in 2 vols. 8vo, pub. in 1843. BCr. W.
gives a trans, of the LaUn Essays, [Arithmetiea, Miscel-
lanea, Mathematica, and De Motn,] and notes on tha In-
tzoductiou to Human Knowledge.

The reader will find in Phil. Trans., 1748, a paper of tha
bishop's, On the Petrifaction of Lough Neagh in Irdand.
The character of this exemplary divine requires no
eulogy at our bands ; his contemporaries so well appreci-
ated his virtues whilst living, that extracts from their
commendation sound like transcripts fhim the mona-
mental marble.

The influenee of Berkeley's writiugi in defence of Bere-
Istion was most happy :

" Akiphron, or the Minnta Philosopher, written with an inten.
tkm to expoee the weakneaa of infldelity and skepticism, Is pet^
bapa the moat ingenions and exedlent perfbrmanoe of the Una in
the Eni^h tongne."— AsmR m ahtif.

This, like all hyperboUeal pntiae, ia in bad taste. It is
foUy to say that any one compoaition on any snbjeot is the
^nost ingenioDS and exeellent in the language f one may
u well specify, u some thoughtless people do, the hand-
somest woman, or the most polite man, or the moat erudite
scholar ; such expreaaiona of opinion are insulting to those
present, and of but little value to the absent ; for persona
whose good opinions are to be coveted avoid sach shocking
nlwardities.

It has been well said,

* In whatever estimation the philosophical oninSona of Bishop
Berkeley may be held by the metaphysicians of the preeent day.
It vm be wbnitted by all who are conreraant with his writinKs.
that he waa a proibund scholar, eminently skilled in lofclc and
fhyaMogy, and deeply read In tlie ancient systems of those
t^ilenfi^i Uehasah^herclaim than this to thevaneration of poe-
tsitty. He waa a singularly good man, la whom a warm benevo-
lence to his fellow-creatorea. and a sealons piety to God, were not
merelv the anthnslaBms of his heart, but the prealdlng rule of
UaUfc."

Dr. Drake is equally enthusiastic in his admiration of
the good bishop :

** It may be aald of Berkeley, without exaggeration, that in point
of virtue and benevolenoe, no one of the sons of men has exceeded
hfan. Whether we consider his public or his private life, we paase
In admiration of efforts nnoommonly exalted, dlalnterasted, and
pofe. He was alike an oldeet of enthuslaatic love and admiration
to extensive societies and to ^miliar IHenda. . . . His knowledge
waa of great compass, and extended to all the nsefnl arts and oc-
enpations of Ufe, of which It has been laid, that there Is scareely
CSM^ Hbefal er Bsecbanic of which he knew not moee ttian the
ordloary pfaetitlansr.''— £i«iy<, vol. lU. ; and see Blackwood's Me-
molra of the Ccrart of Augustus, vol. IL

Kven when engaged upon objects not diraetly in the line
of his profession, the good bishop "each fond endear-
ment tries" to raise the minds of his readers to the exalted
bopes and consolations connected with a brighter sphere
and a higher state of being. Dr. Warton's comment upon
Biiis is worth qnoting in this connexion :

*■ Many a volgar eritle has sneersd at Berkeley's Siris, Ibr hegts-
Bhig at Tar, and ending with the Trinity ; incapable of observing
the great art with whldi the tnnsltlona in that book are finely
lude, where each paragraph depends upon and arises out of the
ai seeding, and gradaally and imperceptibly leads on the reader
noBs cemsson tMqfscts to mora remote, — from matter to spirit, —
ft«a aartb to Heaven."

fpeetive Berlew, toL zL 289. Kiis periodical, now, alas !

In the life and in the death of Berkeley and Swift there
was just that contrast which aims so widely at variance
would lead us to expect. The one amidst labonra and
self-sacrifice passed his days in tranquility, and, — ^his last
years solaced by

M That which should accompany old MOk
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friend^ —
whilst engaged in enforcing those truths which his own
life bad exemplified, exchanged confiding hope for joyftU
fruition in "the vision of the Almighty." The othar,
tempest-driven by the storms of passion, the victim of
blighted projects and disappointed schemes, at war with
hia nco and with himself, only exchanged insane ravings
for idiotic imbecility, and sank into an unhonoured graven
a mournful beacon to all who " sot their afiections upon
the earth," and content themselves with genius nnsanctl-
fled by heavenly wisdom. Young man t to whom God
hath granted mental capacity and intellectual wealth, look
first upon that picture, then on this, and say which shall be
the abject of thy ambition, Johathaic Swift, or Osokas
Berkklky?

Berkeley, George, 1733-1795, son of the preced-
ing, was admitted of Christ Church, Oxford, at the age of
nineteen. He entered Into holy orders, and held several
preferments — Prebendary of Canterbury, Ac, — at the
time of his death. In I7S5 he pub. two Sermons respeot-
Ing the Stuarts and their adherents, 178i-89j and a Ser-
mon on Oood Friday, 1787.

** As on author we readily allow that merit In Mr. Berkeley to
wMeh we cannot so freely subscribe when we consider him as a
statesman or politielan. This nation ticwr did, and, we apprehend,
Moer oaa, jwoiper under the influence of Tory prlnctplea of govern-
ment."— Lan. MfinMy Bevino.

Els widow pub. a volume of hia Sermons In 1799. This
lady, who was a frequent contributor to that invaluable
periodical, the Oentleman's Magaxine, also pub. in 1797
a volume of poems (with a piefaoe of her own) written by
her son, Qeorge Uonck Berkeley. (See below.)

Berkeley, Hon. George Charles Graatley
Fitzhardinge, son of the fifth Karl of Berkeley, bom
1800, was M.P. for Oloucestenhire West from 1832 to
'62. Author of Berkeley CasUe, a Novel, London, 183t,
i vols. 8vo, which was so severely reviewed by Dr. Maginn,
in Fraser's Magazine for August, 1836, that it led to a
duel between author and critic, in which three shots were
exchanged. Mr. Qrantlcy Berkeley subsequently pulv
lished another novel, Sandron Hall, 3 vols. p. 8vo, and a
pamphlet upon Field-Sports and Poaching.

Berkeley, George IHonck, son of the preceding,
anthor of the volume of Poems mentioned above, made
some other contributions to the cause of literature. In
1789 he pnb. Literary Relics, containing original Letters
flrom King Charles II., King James II., the Queen of Bo-
hemia, Swift, Berkeley, Addison, Steele, Congreve, the
Duke of Ormond, and Bishop Bundle; to which is pre-
fixed an Inquiry into the Life of Dean Swift, 8vo.

'* The temper of mind with which Mr. Berkeley enters on his in.
quliy, and its nnfevonrable tendency to promote truth, will bs
seen by every one who attends to bis treatment of Lord Orrery.
Hia lordship Is not only denied all kind of literary merit, but his
name is coupled with the moat reproachful epithets; we read of

Bernard, Edward, D.D., 1638-1694, an eminent
critic, astronomer, and linguist, was a native of Norlli-
amptonshire. In 1666 he was elected soholar of SL
John's College, Oxford, of which he was snbseqnenUy a
Fellow. He visited Holland three times in the oourse of
hia learned investigations. In the praiseworifay elTort
made at Oxford in 1670 to collect and publish the works
of the ancient mathematicians, Bernard took an active
parL He compiled a valuable synopsis of the authors se-
lected for publication, which eompilation will be found in
Dr. Thomas Smith's Life of Bernard. It is to be regretted
that the plan was not carried out with the same seal which
first suggested it. He drew up a very complete Index to the
Catalogue Manusoriptomra Anglias et Hil>ernisB, Oxon.,
1697, fol. In this Index he speeiflee many valnable Ch«ek
MBS. in sevend foreign libraries, as well as those at home.
In 1673 be succeeded Christopher Wren, to whom he had
been deputy since 1669, as Savilian Professor of Astro-
nomy at Oxford. His contributions to the works of his
learned contemporaries were numerous. For a list, see
Watf s Bib. Brit Dr. Smith mentions one admirable trait
in his character, which we desire in onr present literary
undertaking to profit by :

" He was a candid Judge of other men's performances; not too
censorious even on trifling books, If they contained nothing eon.
.tniy to good manners, vMue, or religion ; sod to those wbl^ dis-
played wit, loamliu, or good scnsB^ none gave mon reedy end
ample praise." — L^fiqf Bernard,

We would fain make our Index Expurgatorins as small
as possible, yet at onr own hasard must we remember th«
motto of oar illnstrious predecessors of the Edinburgh
Review— the only line of Pnblins Syrins aeeording to Syd-
ney Smith, with which the critics were aoqnaintea:
" Jrdcx Dammatitb Cvh Noobrs AssoLnnrB."

Many books iVom Dr. Bernard's Library wen pnrehaaad

"The addition made to the Bodlebn fhm I>r. Beraai^Ps study

As the name of Honstrelet U closely associated irith

the Chronicles of France oad England, comprehends the

(see notice of the translations of Froiss^rt and Honstrelet,
by Colonel Thomas Johnes, nnder bis name.) Lord Ber-
ners's translation of Froissart's Chronicles, made by oom-
mand of Henry TIIL, has been highly commended.

In this work is a long extract from Lord Bemers's epis-
tle dedicatory of the Castle of Love, to Lady Carew. We
give a short specimen, which is enriuos as exhibiting tb«
orthography of the day ;

" To the good and vertuous lady ; the lady Oarew& grefyngeL

"The affecdant deayre and obligation that I am bounde In to
wardea you, rygbte vertuous and good lady, as well filr the good*
ness that it bath pleased you to slwwe me, as for the nyreneas of
eonsanguinite, hath encoraged me to aoccmplyshe your desyte^
in translating tills present books. And though my so doynge can
not be correepoudent any thing to reoompense your goodnes, yet
not being ignoraunt of your goodwil and deayre, the wUdi in this
cause I take Ibr the hole efbcie; thinking thereby to do you some
amale rememoncion, and also bycanse the matter is veiy pleasant
fbr youge ladles and gentlewomen ; therefbre I have enterpeyaed
to rednoe the aame from Spai^be into the Englyabe tonge, not
adorned with so fyeahe eloquence that It should merite to be pr»

Bemers, or Barnes, Jnliana, b. about 1388, is be-
lieved to have 1>een the daughter of Sir James Bemers, a
favourite of Richard the Second, and Iiebeaded in 1388 as
an evil ooansellor to the king, and an enemy to the public
Juliana was celebrated for her extreme beauty and groat
learning. She was prioress of Sopewell Nonnery near St.
Alban's, where she varied the devotions of the cloistev
with the sports of the field. Willing to impart to othera
a knowledge of the mysteries which afTorded so much satis-
faction to herself, she wrote treatises on Hawking, Hanting,
Fishing, and Horaldty.

" From an abbess disposed to turn author, we might more rea-
sonably bare expected a manual of meditations for the doeat. or
select rules for making salves, or dlsttlllng strong watere. Bat
the diversions of tiw world were not thought tncoosistent with
the character of a rellgioiis lady of this eminent rank, who reaem-
bled an abbot in respect of exercising an extensive manorial juil»-
dlctlon ; and who hawked and hunted in oommou with other ladies
of distinction. This work however Is bore mentioned because the
second of these treatises is written In rhyme. It is spoken in ber
own person; in which, being otherwise a woman of authoritv, aha
assumes tlie title of Dame. I suspect tlw whole to be a timnalatloa
from the French and Latin."— lKir<on'l Uularf ^ »iiiUtk FMirf,
vol. II.

" The treatise on fishing Is not onlv tho earilest, bat by fcr tha
most cnrioas esaay upon angling which has ever appeared in tba
Bngllsh, or perhaps any other, langnace. In the most important
thstures, Walton has dosely Mkiwad this productkm. In piaty
and virtue, — in the inculcation at morality, — In an ardent lov*
for their art, and still more, in that placid and Cliristian spirit tar
which the amiable Walton was so conspicuous, the eariy writer

As ft w of our readera are likely to hare an opportunity of
■••ing this rare book, we ahall give them a specimen of the
i^le of this Di Vernon of the elder time. Speaking of
" iyaahynge," ahe affectionately exhorts the prospective
angler, and moralisee on thia wise :

** Ye iliall net ose this fomyd crafty dlaporte for no eoretyaenos,
to the eaenaKjngt and sparynge of your money oonly ; but prln-
etpaUy for ytmr solace, and to cause the helthe of your tiody, and
speeyally of your sonle: for vbanoe ye pnrpooa to goo on your
^nortes in fysahyuga, ye woull not desyre gretly many persons
with you, whycfae lett you of your game. And thanne ye may
sarre Uod derooUy In laying alfectuounly your custumable prayer;
and, thus doynge, ye iliaU escfaetre aiul Toyde many vices.'*

In order that the angler might betake him or herself
quietly, and without attracting attention and company, to
their "fysshynge dysporte," she gives instructions for a
walking cane-rod, which should give no indication of the
anticipated " dysporte," and the bewitching^ though it must
be confessed rather sly, Juliana triumphantly declares,

*^ And thus shall ye niake you a rodde so prery, that ye may
walk tharwyth; aiHl there shall noo man wyte where abowte ye
goo.** See an article on Angling in the London Quarterly K^

Betkaae, George W., D.B., b. 1805, a minister of
Iha Dutch Reformed Churoh, ia well Icnown aa an aooom-
pliahed soholar and eloquent pulpit orator. Dr. Bethnne
ia a native of the city of New York. Ha has been ata-
tioned snaeeaaiTelT at Bhinebeok, Utica, Philadelphia, and
Brooklyn, in which latter city he now (18S8) residea. Dr.
Bethone haa been offered and haa declined ttie chaplaincy
of the Cnited Statea Military Academy at Wegt Point, the
Chanoellorahip of the New York University, and the Pro-
fesaorsbip of Kecleaiaatical Hiatory and Church Oovemment
in the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Dutch Church.
He ia anthor and editor of a number of volnmea : A Word to
the Afflicted; Britiah Female Poeta; Lay a of Love and
7utii; Fruit of the Spirit; Hiatory of a Penitent; Sermona; ;
Orationa and Ooeaaional Diaoonraea, etc. Hia edition of |
'Vf alton'a Complete Angler, with as ezoeediugly valuable |
bibUographioal prafaoe, Ac, haa been highly commended.
Thia work waa compiled in the chance momenta of relief
from graver atudiea. " I loat no time by it," the editor
remarked to the preaent writer, " for it waa the occupation
of momenta when othart would have bean looking out of
the windowa."

** As one arrangea In a afanple vaas

Wben heaven shed blaaalngB on my heart like ahoweie;
Clothing with beauty even tlie deaert place;

Beveridse, William, D.S., 168«-'37-1708, was a
nstive of Barrow, in Leicestershire, of which parish his
grandfather and brother were snoecssiToly vicars. In
1653 he was admitted a sisar of 8L John's College, Cam-
bridge. He applied himself with so mnoh assiduity to the
ttndy of the oriental tongues, that at the age of 18, he com-
posed (published when he was 20) a treatise on their great
utility, entitled De Lingnarum Orientaiium, prsesertim
HebrsicsB,.Chaidaic», Syriacts, Arabicn, et Samaritanas,
Prsestantii et Usu, cum Grammatics Syriaoii, tribus Libris
tradit& per O. Beveridgium, Lon., 1658, 8vo. This trea-
tise was compiled for the use of those who desired to study
Walton's Polyglot. A 2d edit, of the treatise, and also
of the Syriac Grammar, was pnb. in 1651. In 1660-61 he
received holy orders, and shortly afterwards was collated
by Bishop Sheldon to the vicarage of Baling, in Middle-
sex. In Ihis parish he remained for nearly 12 years. In
1660 he pub. his Institutionem Cbronologicamm Libris duo
ana cum totidem Arithmetices Chronologicte Libellis, iia.

" Professedly no more than a manual of the science of which it
treats, bnt extremely useful to those who wish to undeistand Its
technical part, being clear of those obscurities by which Scaliger
and Petan bad embarrassod It"

In 1672 he pub. his principal work, — Synodicon, sive
PandeeIn Canonnm S. S. Apostolomm et Conciliorum ab
Ecclesia Ch«oa receptomm, Ac. This oollection of tbe
Apostolic Canons, and of the Decrees of the Councils re-
ceived by the dreek Church, together with the Canonical
SpisUes of the Fathers, was pub. at Oxford in 2 large
folio volumes.

" A book to be referred to on matters relative to tbe doctrines
and discipline of the Church. Bp. Beveridge had a great attach-
meat to antiquity, and thought the ApoatoUDal Oanons were oom-
posed near the end of the second century — a much later date Is
generally assigned to them." — BicxEiurrrrir.

" BtobopBeveridge's notes contain much very learned exposition
of the canon law, and much Instructive matter on other subjects
soansoted with tlie learning of the canons." — Tak Esriic.

In 1679 be pnb. in Latin a vindioation of the above-
named work, in answer to some observations of H. de
I'Arroqne, pub. anonymously. In this year, also, he pro-
ceeded to the degree of D.D. In 1671 he was collated by
Bishop Henchman, then Bishop of London, to the prebend
of Chiawiek, and in 1681, Bishop Complon, successor to
Bishop Henchman, collated him to the Archdeaconry of
Colchester. He thus presented a remarkable instance of
the lecepUon of prefeiment from three looeasaire Bishops

of London. In 1691 he declined the see of Bath and
Wells, vacated by the deprivation of Dr. Thomas Ken, »
non-juror. In 1704 he was consecrated Bishop of St.
Asaph. Here, as in his former positions, he sealously la-
boured for the increase of piety in the church. Sermons
were preached on Sunday evenings in some of the largest
churches; the custom of weekly communion was revived:
societies were established for the suppression of vice, and
" the poor had the gospel preached to them." Two socie-
ties were established — For Propagating the Gospel in
Foreign Parts, and Promoting Christian Knowledge, — to
which the bishop left the principal part of his estate, and
which are this day (1858) carrying out his pious intentions.
Bishop Beveridge deservedly gained the title of " the great
reviver and restorer of primitive piety." To aid his curgy
) in the duty to which be urged them of thoroughly ground-
{ ing their people in the fundamentals of Christianity, he
prepared and sent to them The Church Catechism Ex-
plained; for the Use of the Divines of St Asaph, Lon.,
1704, 4ta ; several times reprinted. After holding his see
for aliout three and a half years, this good man died in
his 71st year in his apartment in the cloister in Westmin-
ster Abbey. He was a widower without children. He left
his library to St Paul's, for tbe benefit of the clergy in
London. Among his other beqnests is one intended to
revive the custom of daily public prayer. He bequeathed
to the curacy of Mount-Sorrel, and vicarage of Barrow,
Leicester, £20 per annum forever, on condition that
prayers be read moming and evening every day aocording
to the Liturgy of the Chnreh of England, in the ehapd
and parish church aforesaid. A few occasional sermons,
and the Exposition of the Catechism, are the only works
pub. by the bishop in English. Bnt from his MSS. his
executor, Mr. Timothy Gregory, pub, a number of works:
Thesaurus Theologicus, or a oomplet* system of Dirioitj,
Lon., 1710, 4 vols. 8vo.

'*Thls system Is summed up In notes upon select places of (be

bishop's sermons by Glasse, Dakins, Ac Private Thoughts
upon Religion, digested into 12 Articles, with PracSoal
Resolutions framed thereupon, Lon., 1709, 8vo. Nume-
rous editions. Written when only 23 years of age.

deep piety and devotion and evangelical sentiments of the excel.

The Private Thoughts have been edited, with introdno-
toty Essays, by Dr. Chalmers, 1828, Rev. H. Stebbing,
Ac. The latter adds the bishop's treatise on the Necessity

tian effort He continued in London until 1830, when he
was presented to the liTing of Walton, where he proved
himself a most laborious and useful parish minister. He
died at Walton in 18S0. Mr. Bickersteth publiahed a num-
ber of valuable theological works, some of which we pro-
ceed to notice. A uniform edition of his principal works,
in 17 vols. tf. Svo, was pub. in 1863. It comprises Chris-
tian Truth, The Christian Student, Scripture Help, Treat,
on the Lord's Supper, Treat on Prayer, The Chief Concerns
of Man, Family Expositions of the Epistles of St John and
St Jude, Christian Hearer's Family Prayers, Signs of the

tion of the Jews, Practical Guide to the Prophecies, Treat,

fiiese 17 vols, must be added the 5 vols, of his smaller works.

The Scripture Help, designed to assist in reading the
Bible profitably, has long proved a most useful manual :

"This work U profelsodlj a practical Introdaetion to the read-
ing of the Bcripturea. The sale of 30,000 copies of the Urge edi-

•rehenslve mannsl open the snhjeet extant and the tone In which

" The ttrt that within a few yeara, Mr, BIckersteth's Oulde has
reached a A/iEA edlUopn, Is of Itself sufllclent to prove the command-
ing attitude which It maintains. The popularity of the work,
however, Is la eoma measvre to be attributed to the deservedly
Ugh standing of the pious and scalous author among the mem-
bers of his own oonununiott, and the deeply practical character
with which be has succeeded In Investing the topics of dlscusslou.
Bating this fcature, which we cannot too hlf^hly commend, we are
sotry in beiag obliged to give It as our opinion, that we consider
the writer to have greatly retrograded In his views sluoe last he
eame under our nonce. He now believes In a premlllennlal per.
senal advent of Christ and that he will so dwell on earth as to be
vlslhle in his glory; and so Important does be regard the doctrine,
that he semples not to designate It Me ^eaercUioa truth. He ex-
psets a pemmal, viiiUe, by which we suppose he means an Indl-
vidnal, antichrist to head the lost apostaay. He la of opinion,
that the Jews, when converted, ore to be (As minentltf suocessftil
mittUmctria to the Gentiles, and are those for whom their Hmecr*
sol eonvemlon ts reeerved. He thinks that the first resurrection
{Rev. XX.) Is a lltaral rather than a spiritual one. He has given
np the views which he formerly entertained respecting a merely
spiritual and nnlvanal kingdom ofChilst His notions of Hades,
p. 313, seem very different fi-om what we believe he onoe taught
lespeetlng the glory of that state of blessedness to which believers
are at death Immediately admitted- Whatever edification Its readers
may derive fttm the pious tone and praetleal character of the
book, certain we are. It wUI be ftmnd a very nasafo guide to the
Just apprehension of the meaning of Serlpture nropheev." — ^Aois*

Dibdin in his Bibliomania, and in the Bibliographical

his valuable Library. Mr. John Nichols paid him a de-
wrred oompliment by dedicating to him the most valuable
collection of literary treasnres in the language — Nichols's
Liteniry Anecdotes. See Nichols, Johs,

To the 1st edit, of this work Mr, Bindley was a oon-
tribntor.

M LxaABSo. Oratliy a curiosity that 1 ftel to know the name and
character of yonder respeetably-looklng gentleman, in the dress of
tlM old selMxd, who is speaking In so gracious a manner to Ber-
nardo.

"^Cls liBOims ; a man of taste, and an soeompllsbed sntlquary,
Kven yet he continues to grattty his IkTonriie passion for book
and print eoUeettng ; although his library is at once eholoe and
eoplous, and his coUectlou of prints exquisitely fine. . . . Like
Attlcns [Richard Ileber, Esq.] he is liberal in the loan of his trea-
sures: and, as with him, so 'tis with Leontes — the spirit of book-
ooDecttng * assumes the dignity of a virtue.' Peace and comfori
be the attendant spirits of Leontea, through life and In death : the
happiness of a better world await him beyond the gravel His
meuiaiy will always be held In tevsrance by honest btbUom»'
ntttmr—BUilinmatla, ed. 1843, 133.

Borne six yean later Dibdin again notices this worthy
eharaclar:

"Veai as tlie ruddy drops that warm my heart are the name
and the virtues of LeontesI Tfaat excellent and venerable cha-
racter yet lives ; lives in the Increased estimation of bis long-tried
Mends, and in the very plenitude and senitb of bibltomanlaod
lepatetVm. Can tanman ielldty go beyond this! Bleb In 'good
works' as well as far good books. . . . Qase therefore with respect
sad admiration upon the numerous and Well-selected tomes of
wUeh the library of the veneraUe gentleman Is composed; and
wish that be who knows how to make such an exeellent use of
thsas, may yet Hve to complete his term of a ' thousand years.'"—

" It has been Justly remarked to bis honour and credit, that he
never nude an acquaintance by whom he was not highly respected,
or Ibnned an Intimacy tfaat wss not permanent.'*

Bingham, Joseph, 1668-1723, the celebrated anthor
of Origines Ecclesiasticn, was a native of Wakefield in
Yorkshire. In 1684 he was admitted a member of Uni-
versity College, Oxford. Ho took the degree of B. A.
in 1688, M. A. in 1691. He was elected Fellow of his
College in 1689. By the kindness of the eminent Dr.
Radcliffe he was presented, upon resignation of his fel-
lowship, to the rectory of Headbonrn-Worthy in Hamp-
shire, with about £100 a year. Some six or seven years
after this event he married a daughter of Ricliard Pococke,
grandfather of the celebrated anthor of the Description of
the East. Feeling the great want which existed of a good
work upon Ecclesiastical Antiquities, Bingham determined
to endeavour to supply the void. His disadvantages were
great: ill health, large family, small means, and almost
without books. Fortunately the latter want was supplied
by his opportunity of access to the excellent library of the
cathedral church of Winchester, the bequest of Bishop
Morley.

" Even this was deficient in many works to which he bad ooea-
skm to refer ; and yet when we turn to the Index Anctomm at
the end of bis work, we shall perhiqie be astonished at the vast
number of books which he appears to bare consulted. But to
such straits wss he driven for want of books, that be frequently
procured imperfect copies at a cheap rate, and then employed a
portion of that time, of which so small a portion was allotted him,
and which therefore eonld so ill be so spared, in the tedious task
of transcribing the deficient psges; Instancss of which sie still in
being, and serve ss memorials of his IndefctlgaMe industry on
all occasioua"

The author remarks :

" I confess that this work will suffer something In my hands
for want of several books, which I have no omMMiunity to see, nor
ability to purchase. The chief assistance I nave hitherto had is
from the noble benelurtion of one, who bdnf dead, pet ^peoMA; X
mean the renowned filshop Morley."

He pub. the 1st vol. (Origines Eoclesiasticn, or the An-
tiquities of the Christian Church) in 1708, and the 10th
and last in 1722, 8vo. Whole works, 1726, 2 vols. foL
Translated into Latin, with the words of the quotations
^ven by Grischovins, Halla9,l 724-29, and again in 1751.

"The author left MS. corrections, which were incorporated in
an edition edited by his great-grandson, in 8 vols. Svo, 1629. Two
editions have rince that date appeared under the able editorship
of the Rev. J. R. Pitman, in which the passages referred to are
given in the original words. The Rev. Richard Blngfaam, son of
the former editor, has prepared an edition which, when pobHshed,
will be of great importance, as be has verified ul the quotations,
some of which bad escaped the research of Qriscbovins and Mr.
Pitman. An edition of the Ecclesiastical Antiquities only, as it
originally appeared, is in print, in 2 vols, imperial Svo." — JktrVn^t
Ojfe. BibUeffruphiea.

It is an interesting bibliographical incident that the
valnable labonrs of Mr. Bingham should be revised by his
great-great-grandson afler a lapse of 1 30 years. Mr. Bing-
ham also wrote: The French Cbnreh's Apology for the
Chnreb of England, Ac, Lon,, 1706, 8vo. A Scholaatical
History of Lay Baptism, two parts, Lon., 1712, 2 vols. 8to.
A Disoonrse concerning the Mercy of God to Penitent Sin-
ners ; and a Disoonrse on Alrsolation, in his Works, 3 vols,
fol., 1726.

Before the pnblieation of vols. ix. and z, of his Origines,
Mr. Bingham was sorely tried by the conduct of a Mr. A.
Blaekamore, who pub. in 1722, 2 vols- Svo, A Summary of
Christian Antiquities, Ac, which Mr. Bingham declared to
be, for tile most part, an abridgment of the S vols, upon
which he had bestowed "Twenty years' hard labonr,"
He thus discourses upon the matter in the prebee to vols.

CliHxtlanity: «si nifei<ii<wd A Briaf Aoonnt of tka Xight lint
fl«neml ComscDj, dedicated to the venerable SoeletT for Promgat-
Sng the Qoepel In foreign Parts, hj A. Blaekamore, In two Tolumee

Bro^Lon^lf^ Z oodmi, I WBaveiT much surprised at flrvt with
the title and eplsfle dedicatoiT, tUnklnff It to be some new work,
that had done some mighty thing, either la oorreettng mr mistakes,
or supplying my defideneles, after twenty yearsT hard labour In
oompiling my Orlglnes for the use of the church. Bat as soon as
I looked into the prefluse, and a little Into the book Itself, I found
It to be only a transcript of some part of my Origlnes, under the
notion of an epitome, ihoogb do such thhig Is said In the title-
page ... If he had done It In a genteel way, by asking leave,
and under direction, be should hare had my leave and encourage,
ment also. Or if he had done It usefully, so as truly to answer
the end he pretends, even without leave, he should luve my par-
don. But now he has defeated his own design, both by unneces-
sary and hnrtiW additions of his own, which will not only Inoom-
mode and encumber his books, but render them dangerous and
perttletous to unwary leaden, unless timely antldoted and oor-
rected by some more skllfUl hand. For which reason, since ther
are sent Into the world together with an abstract of mv Antiqui-
ties, I have thought It just both to the world and myself to make
some proper anlxudvenlons on them."

The Justly indignant author Uien proceeds in a long
bDl of indiotmente to substantiate his diarge. The griev-
anoe oomplained of was one to which ^I authors are
liable, and the more meritorious -their productions the
greater the risk. Mr. Pitman's last edit, referred to be-
fore, was pub. in 1840, in 9 vols. 8to. (See preceding no-
tice of fordiooming edition, by the Rer, Richard Bingham.)
To those nnaoqnainted with the value of the work, it
may l>e useful to give an analysis of the Twenty-thiee
Books, of which the Antiquities is composed :
1. Of Christianity in general; the Names and Orden of

both Clergy and Lai^,
3. The Laws of the First Coancill.
8. Of the Inferior Clerical Laws.
i. Of the Election and Ordination of the Clergy; Qnali-

flcatlons, Ac.
(. Clerical Privileges, Immunities, and Rerennss.
8, The Laws and Rules of tlieir Lives, Services, Beha-
Tioar, Ao.

7. Of the Aseetios.

8. Of their Councils, Churches, ftc.

9. Of the Divisions into Provinces, Dioceses, and Pa-

rishes ; with the Origin of these Divisions.
10. Of the Catechisms, and first use of Creeds.
IL On the Administration of Baptism.

12. On Confirmation.

13. Of Divine Worship in the Ancient Congregationi.

14. Of the Serrioe of the Catechumens.

15. Of the Communion Service.

18. Of the Unity and Discipline of the Churoh.

17. Of the Exercise and Discipline among the Clergy.

18. Of the Penitential Laws and Rules for doing Pnblio

Penance.
18. Of Absolution.

30. On the Festivala.

31. On the Fksts.

32. On the Marriage Rttes.

33. On the Funeral Ritei.

With Four Dissertations. In the first three, (hose things
only briefly descril>ed in his Antiquities are more fully ex-
plained. In the fourth, he defends the English Homilies,
Litor^, and Canons, from domestic adversaries, patticn-
luly the French Reformers.

The following testimonies, selected from nnmerons
others which could be adduced, will serve to show the es-
timation in which he is generally held by all parties :

Auguste, in his Introduction to Handbick der Ckrutli-
chen Ar^aologie, p. 11, (Leipzig, 183S,) says, after having
■poken of some unsatis&otoiy works, " But the English
Clergyman, Joseph Bingham, remarkable for his profound
learning, and his qiirit of unpi^udioed inquiry, was the
flnt who published a complete Archaelogy, and one wor-
thy of the name. His Origines or Cluistian Antiquities
first appeared in London, 1708-22, in 10 parts, 8to. Un-
doobtedly, the Latin translation by J. H. Qrijohorins has
very mueli contributed to the general spread of this cla<-
■ieal woric While Bingham was etUl living, a ooantry-
man of his own, A. Blsekamore, prepared an abridgment
nnder the tiUe of Summary of Christian Antiquities, Iion.,
1722, with which Bingham was much displeaaed, it being
published as an original work. At a later period another
abridgment appearad by an anonymons Roman Catholic
Theologian ; J. Bingham's Christian Anttqnitiei, an abridg-
ntenl ttom the English edition, Augsburg, 1788-84. The
work also called Lnoii PaleoUmi Antiquitetnm B. Origi-
' Bum Boclesiastioarum snmma, VeneL, 1766, is nothing
more than an abridgment of Bingham's work, the useftal-
MM of whioh for ^th oenfaisioaf i> atnngiy indioatad

Birch, Thomas, D.D., 1705-66, a natire of Clerkeo-
well, receired his ednoation at Quaker schools, to which
persuasion his parents were attached. He was ordained
deacon in the Church of England, 1730, priest, 1731, by
the Bishop of Salisbury, the celebrated Dr. Hoadly. To
the fk-iendship of this dirine, he was no doubt indebted for
sereral of his preferments. He was Ticar of Ultiag, Es-
sex, 1734 ; Rector of St Margaret Pattens with St. Qa-
briel, Fenehareb-street, London, 1746; Secretery to the
Royal Soeie^, 1752 ; Rector of Depden, Essex, 1761. Dr.
Birch was an indnstrioas writer, as is erinced by his nu-
merous publications. We shall notice some of the princi-
pal. His first literary nndertaking was The General Dic-
tionary, Historical and Critieal, "in which a new and
aconiato translation of that of tiie edabrated Mr. Bayle,
with the eorreetions and obserrationa printed in the late
edition at Paris,is included, and interspersed with sereral
thonsaad Ures nerer before published," Ac, 10 rols. folio,
Lon., 1734-41. In this laborions enterprise he was as-
sisted by the Rer. John Peter Bernard, Mr. John Look-
man, and others. The articles relating to Oriental history
were allotted to Mr. George Sale, who was admimbly qua-
lified for the task. This Dictionary is eertainly one of the
most ralnable eompends of knowledge in the English Ian-
gnage. It can l>e porohased at the present day (1854) for
about £7 to £8. The editors giro

" BelleetiOBS upon such iissasaiis of Mr. Bayle aa seam to aronr
skeptWsmsiBd the Mankhaa systsok"

Bayle's faolte in these and other rsspaets ara well known.
Apart from such ol^tions, ha is a Mightfid oompulon,
and his merite hare bean widely aeknowle^ed :

" Ha Is the only man that erar eoUaeted with Bo mwh judanant,
and wrote with so much spirit at tha same time." — ^Pors :

" If Bayle wrote his Dktinnarr to ampty the rarioas eoUsetlons
ha had made withont aay eartlealar daaign, ha could not bars

a batter plaa. By tha donblaft^eadcm ofa Diettooaiyef
Motaa, he could pitch on what artielaa be plaaaad, and say what he

Birkenhead, or Berfceahead, Sir John, MU 1-

187S, waa entered a servitor of Oriel College, Oxford, in
1632. During the Civil War, to Birkenhead was confided
the editorship of Mercuriv Auliewt, or the Court Mercury,
the vehicle of communication between the eourt at Oxford
and the rest of the kingdom. It was printed weekly in
one sheet, and sometimes more. It was pub. fVom Janu-
ary 1, 1842, to the end of 1645, and afterwards occasion-
ally. This Court journal was opposed by the Parliament
in the Mercurius Britannicns, written by Marchamont
Necdham. Sir John excelled in satirical wit, and pub. a

Black, John. Key to Mair's Introduction, 1818.
Black, Joseph, H.D., 1728-1799, an eminent chemist
and physician, was the son of an Irish merchant who re-
sided at Bordeaux when the subject of this notice was
bom. He entered the University of Glasgow in 1748, and
became a favourite pupil of the celebrated Collen, who
instilled into his youthful mind that love of chemical in-
vestigations by which be afterwards became so highly dis-
tinguished. He took the degree of M.D. at Edinburgh in
1754, and won great credit for the ability displayed in bis
thesis — Disaertatio Medica de Humore Acido a Cibis orto,
et Magnesia AlbSL This paper, with a continnation writ-
ten the next year, will be found in the Essays Pliysical
and Literary, Edin., 1758. In this dissertntion he "gave
an aooount of one of the most important discoveries in
chemistry, which is generally considered as the source of
much that has immortaliied the names of Cavendish, Priest-
ley, and others, memorable for their acquisitions in th«
knowledge of aerial bodies. This was no other than the
existence of an aerial fluid, which he denominated fixed
air, the presence of which gave mildness, and its absence
causticity, to alkalies and calcareons earths." His discove-
ries at a subsequent period with respect to water in various
conditions, latent heat, cold, 4c., (1782-91,) are well known
to the profession. The theory of latent heat was undoubt-
edly a principal leading step to some of the grand discove-
ries made by Lavoisier, Laplace, and others; yet these
chemists scarcely ever named Dr. Black in their disserta-
tions; and Mr. Deluo bad the impudence to claim the
theory of latent heat as his own. In 1758 he was ap-
pointed to the chair of Chemistry and Anatomy at Glas-
gow, but the latter being distasteful to him, he exchanged
it for that of Medicine. In 1768 he succeeded his old pre-
ceptor. Dr. CuUon, as Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh.
His lecturea were so celebrated that few gentlemen loft
Edinburgh without having attended one course or more.
At the time of his death, in 1799, he enjoyed the dietin-
gnished honour of being one of the eight foreign members
of the Academy of Sciences at Paris. His Lectures on
Chemistry were pub. from his MSS. by Dr. Uobison, Edin.,
1803, 2 vols. 4to. The Papers referred to above as pub. in
the Essays Phys. and Lit., vol. ii. 157, were subsequently
pnb. in a 12mo vol. in Edin. The celebrated paper, The
supposed effect of Boiling on Water in dif posing it to freeze
more readily, ascertained by experiment, will be fonnd in
Phil. Trans. Abr. xiii. 610, 1775, and the Analysis of the
Waters of some Hot Springs in Iceland was pub. in Ed.
Phil. Trans, iii. part 2, 95, 1794.

pleted. He never could be Induced to publish any account of It

Blacklock, Thomas, 1721-1791, was a native of
Annan in Scotland; his parenta were English. When
only six months old, he lost his sight by small-poz, and
suffered under total blindness all his life. Notwithstand-
ing this deprivation, he aoqnirad a very respectable know-
ledge of Oreek, Latin, French, Italian, Theology, and
gained considerable distinction as an author. After a
course of study at the University in Edinburgh, he was
licensed as a preacher In the Church of Scotland in 1759,
and in 1767 received the diploma of D.D. from Aberdeen.
His first publication was a volume of Poems in 1754, Edin.,

raeter, and writings, by his friend, the Rev. Joseph Sponce,
Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Mr. B. contributod to a

article on the Education of the Blind, [pnb. in Encyc
BriL] to which is prefixed A New Aocount of the Life and
Writings of the Author, by Henry Mackeniie, Esq., 4to.
In 1762 he married a lady who proved admiiably oalcn-
lated to promote his happiness.

Blackmore, Sir Bichard, M.I)., d. 172U, the son
of an attorney in Wilts, matrienlated at SL Bdmund's Hall,
Oxford, in 1888. He was knighted by William III., to
whom he was appointed in 1887 physioian in ordinary.
His poblications were numerous ; we notice some of the
principal. His first work, Prioee Arthur, an Heroic Poem,
appeared in 1695, and three editions were called for in less
than two years.

** Tls strange that an author should hsTe a gamester's fcte, snd
not know when to give orer. Had the dty-bard stopped his band
at Prince Arthur, he had missed knighthood, 'Us true, but ho had
gone off with some apphmse."— I*. Amm's Wirb, Tol. It. 118.

In 1700 he pab. Paraphrases on Job, the Songs of Hoses,
Deborah, and David, and on 4 Select Psalms, chapters of
Isaiah, and 3d chap, of Habokkak. The excellent Mat-
thew Henry quotes more frequently from Blackmore in his
commentaries than from any other poet. In the same year
he pab. a Satyr uainst Wit, which so oflended the poets of
the day, that in T. Brown's Works there are more than 20
satirical pieces against Blackmore. One of his assailants
joins him to Bentley, thus :

** A sBonnment of dullness to eraet,
Bentler should write and Blackmore should corrsct,
Uke which no other piece can e'er be wrought,
Vor deeeney of style and life of thought.
But tlist whan Bentley shall in Judgment sit.
To paie cacpBScsnces from Blaekmore's wit."

Sir Richard might sit very easily under a lash which
was aimed also at the groat master of classical learning.
Dryden declared that Sir Richard wrote his poetry to the
" rumbling of bis chariot wheels," and waspish Utile Pope

Sre him a place in thatcooTanient pillory — the Dunciad.
1713 he commenced a periodical called The Lay Honk ;
only 40 numbers appeared. Not forgetting his profession,
be gave to Uie world a number of medica) works, viz. ; On
the Plague and Malignant Fevers, 1720 ; The Small Pox,
1722 ; Consumption, Ac, 1724 ; Spleen and Vapours, 172& ;
Ooat, Rhenmslira), and King's Evil, 1728; Dropsy, Stone,
itc, 1727. His principal work, Creation, a Philosophical
Poem, appeared in 1712, and reached its 4th edlL in 1718.
This poem has been much admired. Ambrose Philips
told Mr. Draper, who told Dr. Johnson, (see Lives of die
Poets,) that

" Blaekmora, as be proceeded In this poem, laid his M8. ftom
tlBW to tlnM faetxe a club of wits, with whom he associated ; and
tbat evssy oma contributed, as he could, either improvement or
eoneetion ; so that there are perhaps nowhere In the book thirty
II II I ■ together that now stand ss they were originally written."

This relation may be received with great doubt. Den-
nis speaks of The Creation in glowing terms :

** A phUosophlcal poem which has eanalled that of Lucretius In
t^ basnty of Its verslfleatlon, and Infinitely surpassed It In the
saUdlty and atnogtfa of Its reasoning."

Addison's praise might well be coveted by any poet :

■* It ^eerves to he looked upon as one of the most useful and
■oMe pcodnetlons In our English venei The reader cannot but
lie ploasrfl to find the depths of philosophy enlivened with all the
^anss of poetry, and to see so great a strength of reason, amidst
so heaotMll a rMlundaney of the Imagination." — <!^Mcta/or, No. 339.

** It wants neither hannony of nnmberm, aeeurainr of thought,
^srel^anee of diction: It has either bean written with gnat care,
or, what cannot be Imagined of so hmg a work, with such feUdty
■s OMde ears lass necessary." — Dl. JoBlfSoa.

In addition to his other titles to respect Sir Richard had
that ornament without which all other advantages are of
Utile aeeoiut — he was a man of humble and devoted piety.

Blackstone, Sir William, 1723-1780, was the
fourth son of Charles Blackstone, a silkman in London.
He was placed in the Charter-house School in 1730, and
at the age of fifteen was admitted a Commoner of Pem-
broke College, Oxford. November 20th, 1741, he entered
the Middle Temple. Determined to devote himself to the
doties of his profession, he bade adieu to the more flowery
paths of literature in those well-known versos. The Law-
yer's Farewell to his Muse, subsequently pub. in vol. 4th of
Dodsley's Collection. In Nov., 1743, he was elected into
the society of All Souls' College ; June 12th, 174A, be com-
menced Bachelor of Civil Law; on the 28th Nov., 1746,
he was called to the bar, and April 26th, 17&0, he com-
menced Doctor of Civil Law. It may be some enconrage-
ment to young lawyers to remember that the talents even
of Blackstone were at trst so much overlooked, that his
limited business f^led to cover his very moderate ex-
penses; he therefore resolved to retire from the apology
for a practice which he possessed, and support himself by
his Fellowship and private lecturing. Accordingly, in Mi-
chaelmas Term, 1753, he commenoMl reading two Leetures
on the Laws of England to a large and interested auditory.
In order to render the duties of his class less difficult, he
pub. (1756) an Analysis of the Laws of England, which
proved of great service to a comprehension of the subject.
He had already made his appearance as an author in hia
Essay (1750) on Collateral Consanguinity, which had re-
ference to the claims for Fellowships in All Souls' College
based upon asserted connexion with the founder. Arch-
bishop Chicheley. In 1756, Charles Viner, the compiler
of an Abridgment of Law and Equity, (see Tiicer,) died,
and bequeathed the sum of £12,000 to the University of
Oxford for the establishment of a Law Professorship, and
the endowment of Fellowships and Scholarships in Com-
mon Law. On the 20th Oct., 1758, Blackstone was unani-
mously elected the first professor, with a salary of £200.
His introductory Lecture produced a most favourable im-
pression, and the Yioe-Chancellor and Heads of Houses
requested him to publish it. This Lectnre will be found
prafixod to vol. I. of the Commentaries. The fame of hia
Lectures reached the ears of Oeorge III., then Prince of
Wales, who tendered him an invitation to read them to
him. His engagements prevented his complying with this
flattering request, but he transmitted some specimens to
^e prince, who begged his aceeptanoe of a handsome
token of his approbation. In 1759 be resumed practice
in London, visiting Oxford at the periods appointed for
bis Lectures. In tiie preceding year he edited a magnifl-
eent edition of Magna Charta and the Forest Charter.
Of this work Professor Smyth remarks :

"Of his History of the Cfaartera it U In vain to attempt any
abridgment ; ibr sneh Is ths predsloa of his taste, and such the
importanoe of the suhlect thai there Is not a aantence in the com-
posltloa that Is not neoeaair7 to the whole, and that should not
De perused. Whatever other works may be read slightly, or
omitted, this Is one the entire meditation of which can In no r»
spect be dispensed with. The claims which It has on our atten-
tion are of no common nature. The labour which this eminent
lawyer has bestowed on the suh)ect Is suflldantly evident."— J>o-
iurrj an Modem Histnry.

In 1761 he was elected to Parliament for the borough
of Hindoo ; and in the same year had a patent of prece-
denea granted to him to rank as King's Counsel, having
declined the office of Chief Justice of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas in Ireland. Vacating his Fellowship by mar-
riage, he was appointed Principal of New Inn Hall, and
in 1763 received the appointment of Solicitor to the Queen.
In 1770 he was made one of the Judges of the Court of
Common Pleas, whieb office ha held for the remaining tea

I of hlB life. As many Impeifeot and ineomet eopiM '
of h'lB Lectures were in circnlation in MS. among the pro- |
feesion, and a pirated edition wm understood to be in the I
preu, the ftuthw determined to give a correct copy to the
world. The Gommentariee on the Lavs of England were,
therefore, pub. in 4 volg. 4to, Ozf.p 1766-68. This great
work at once superseded the etandard manuals — Finch's
Law, Wood's Institutes, Ac Suemies, however, were not >
wanting to attack the Commentaries on acconnt of the
eonservatire tone whieh was charged upon them by the
"reformers" of the day. Jeremy Benth&m pub. in 1776
his Comment upon the Commentaries, and censures the ^
"antipathy to reformation" which he discoTored in Black- '
8tone*s rolumea This objeotion is happily answered by
Mr. Roscoe, who remarks that i

" BUurkntono did not profess to be a censor, but monAj an ex-
posltor, of the law."

'' His object was. In &ct, to show what the Law of England waM,
not what It oa^ht to he." — Cunningham'' t Bitg. Hist.

Dr. Priestley also pub. some Remarks on the 4th volume,
which were answered by Blaokstone, 1769, Svo. Black-
stoDe also pub. Considerations on Copy Holders, and some I
other legal treatises, Reports, Ac, and is author of a vin- i
dicatioD of Addison respecting his misunderstanding with !
Pope, in the Biog. Brit See Addisor. A list of edi-
tions, abridgments of the Commentaries, etc, will be found '
in Lowndes's Bibliographer's Manual ; consult also Anthon, '
Ayres, Bentham, Curry, Field, Furneux, Priestley, Rowe,
Bodgwick, Warren, Marvin, Ac We observe by the cata-
logue of Messrs. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longman, j
November, 1853, that they advertise as in preparation the
twenty-third edition, including the alterations to the pre- ;
sent time, edited by James Stewart, Esq., of Lincoln's
Inn. It will not be expected that we should enter into an
examination of the merits of the annotations of the many
distinguished legal authors who have profitably exercised
their profound learning and critical acumen in the illus-
tration of Blackstone. Messrs. Bum, Williams, Christian,
Archbold, Coleridge, Chitty, Carry, Giffurd, Field, Wanos-
trocht, Taylor, Rowe, Stephen, Stewart, Ac, deserve ho-
nourable mention whenever the name of the great Com-
mentator ocoars. Not only tlie members of the profession
are debtors to these gentlemen, but for their labours the
gratitude of the public at large is eminently due As we
nave had occasion to remark in another place, so long as
it is not "possible" to "live peaceably with all men" — so
long as there are rights to be vindicated, wrongs to be re-
dressed, boundaries to be defined, and property to be se-
cured— so long shall we need the legal profession to be
" with us." As every one, therefore, is liable to personal
experienoe of, and serious suffering from, the Indecision
of the bench, the perplexities of the bar, and the iguo-
ranoe and prejudice of the juries, so every one can per-
oeive the value of those compilations by whieh forensic
wisdom is placed upon record, and the philosophy of juris-

J»rudence, illustrated by the expositions of its most pro-
found sagps, occupies the "seat of Gamaliel" for the in-
struction of mankind. The penssal of Blaokstone and his
Commentators, besides the other advantages offered to the
intelligent mind, will hardly fail to prodnoe one valuable
result. It will expose the absurdity of that popular cant
—so common with conceited ignorance — which would ad-
vise DS to cashier our lawyers, and give the law-calf of our
libraries to the flames. The settlement of rights, the aa-
eertainmont of duties, and the various issues proceeding
therefrom, must over oonstitute a science, with its code of
laws and corps of profrasors, so long as it is preferable to
have established principles which shall rule individual
coses, to an endless litigation upon isolated instances.
We can hardly close this article, long as it is, with pro-
priety, withoQt eiting the opinions of some eminent autho-
rities upon a work which (though not faultless) ean only

We refer the reader to the article Blackstone in Marvin'f
Legal Bibliography, fh>m which, and the opinions there
quoted, we ahull make some extracts :

** Probably there is not a tfeatise mentionod in the whole Blblt
ography of the common law, about wblch a greater contiariety of
opinion has existed than of Blackstone's CommentAr icK. t^oon
after their publication the controversy began, and from that time
to the present theae volamee. on the one hand, havy bemi most
acrimoniously and unjustly erltkiaed, and, on the other. Inordi-
nately and injudiciously praised. Impertinent and unfitlr critV
elsm will no more guide us to a proper opinion of the value of a
prodoction, than over-sealous and indiserlDilnate praise. Did we
believe the former, Blackstone Is an immetbodit^, uninformed
writer, whose Commentartea * contain somewhat wblch is not law
upon almost erverf page.* Did we belWva the latter, his Commen tariee
an» unsurpassed models of method, preelakm. and clMmees, «hich
should be perused ittrum otque iturnm. All are, however, agreed,
that they are written In a nervous, elegant, and polluclrl style;
models of legal purity of diction. Before tbe time of '^Ir Matthew
Hale, the Common Law was considered as Incapable of system, hy
reason. It was said, of the Indigested ness of It, and the multlpll-
Hty of the cases; but Hale was not of this opinion, and by his
Aulysis fnUy showed how capable the sul^ect was of method and
system. On this foundation Blackstone built Us immortal wor^**

Hr. Austin is very severe upon nor author :

** The method obeerved by Blackatone in his too celebrated CasB>
mentaries. Ii a slavish and blundering eopy of the very Imperfect
method which Hale delineated roughly in his short and unfinlal^
ed Analysis. From the outset to the end of his Commentarlus, he
blindly adopts tbe mistakes nf his rude and compendious model;
mlsKlng invariably, with a nice and surprising InMtdty, tbe preg*
naut but obaeure suggestions which It proffisred to his attention,
and which would have guided a discerning and Inventive writer
to an arrangement comparatively just. Neither In the general
con^ptlon nor In the detail of bis book. Is there a single particle
c^ wiglTia] and dlKcrlmlnatlng thought. He had read somewhat,
(though fiir less than Is c(»nmonly beHeved,) but be had swallowed
the matter of his reading without choice and without mmlnatfen.**

" Perhaps no pioiuwsional writer has suffered more from the seal
(rf injudicious admirers tlian Blackstone in his celebrated Commen-
taries. Tbey were not designed for students at law. but for stu-
dents at the University ; they were not addressed to profearional,
but to nnpro&Mlonal, readers. He was not a lecturer of an Jna
of Court, but a Unlrerfity professor— not to Inform lawyen. but
to render the law intelll>clble to the unln!h>rroed minds of begin-
ners. Addressing himself to pentons of this description, like an
exporlencM actor, he accommodated hhnself to the temper and ch^
raeter of l:ds audlen««, mtber for effect than with a view to de>
moDstmte. Uke the gnomMi upon tbe snn-dlaL, he takes no ae-
count (rf'any faonrs but the serene. A man may read Blackstone's
Commentaries from one end to tbe other, and yet have no notion
that a proposition In law Is as capable of t>elng resolved and de-
monstrated as a proposition In mathematics. In the rank of eUh
mantary composition they might forever hare reposed beneath un-
disturbed laurels; but he who would make tbem the institute of
his profeartonal education Impmdently forces tbem Into an el»>
ment which Is not their ovm. and lays tbe fbundatlon fbr those
perilous misunderstandings — that uiilawyer-lfke. Jejune smatter-

We eoDcludo onr notice of this eminent lawyer by citing
the opinion of Profesaor Smyth of Cambridge :

** 1S» Lolme Is too much of a panegyrist upon our constitution,
as indeed la Blaekstone, — not to say that the latter is rather a
lawyer than a constitutional writer. Blaekstone Is quite inferior
to himself; when be becomes a political reaaoner ; and If he had
Hved In onr own times, be would not have written (he could not
have written, a man of such capacity) In the vague and even super-
llrial manner In which he has certainly done, on many of such
oeeaalons. In his great work of the Commentaries. . . . However
dbtlngnlahed for his high endowments and extensive acqulre-
nants. and however impressed with a sense of the advantatces to
be derived from a ftae government, he baa certainly never been
considered as a writer very particularly anxious tat the popular
part of the constltatiun." — Leeturrt on Modem Hubtr]/.

We are pleased to learn that one of the most profound
Jnriala and intelligent expositors of Civil and Statute Law
of whom America can buast, is now engaged upon an edi-
tion of BlaclislODe, prepared with especial reference to the
wanta of the American student Judge Sharswood has
long devoted himself to the diligent study of his favourite
ttnthor, and from his intimate acquaintance with the text,
and familiaxity with the general principles of jurispru-
dence, we confidently anticipate a work which will claim
m oonspieuous plaee in the American legal library, and be &
Talnable addition to the collection of the intelligent layman.

An amusing eonveraation between Dr. Johnaon and Boa-
well raapeeting theae Leoturea, will be found in Boawell'a
Life of Johnaon.

Dr. Blair took great intereat in " rescuing from oblirioD
the poema of Oaaian." Ilia biographer aaanrea na that it
waa by th« solicitation of Dr. Blair and John Home, /an-
thor of Dottglasa,] that Mocpherson was induced to pub-
lish his Fragment of Ancient Poetry. To " theae, in 1763,
Blair prefixed a Dissertation of the critical kind which
proenred him much reputation, whatever may be thongbt
of the anbjeot" See Macphsbsoh. We cannot better
introduce the mention of the celebrated aermona by which
Blair ia beat known to the world, than by an extract fh>m
Boawell'a Life of Johnaon :

" The Beverend Hugh Blair, who had long been admired sa a
pnaefaer at Bdlnbnrgli, thought now of diffusing hia excellent ser-
aona more extenalvely and increaaing his rppntation, by publish-
ing a eollaetlan of thMa. He tianamltled the manuaenpt to Mr.
Stnlian, the printer, who^ after keeping It fttr aome time, wrote a
letter to lilm,dlaconraglng the pubUcatfan. Such, at first, waa the

al books

: one of
opinion ; and after bis unfik
TovraUe letter to Dr. Blair had been sent off, he received from
Johnson on Chriafmsa eve, a note'ln which waa the fbllowing par
•agraph:

*'*t have raed Dr. Blalr'a flrat aermon with more than approfaa-
tloa: to aay tt la good, ia to any too littleL'"

Thns eneonnged, Strahan and Cadell purchased the lat
ToLfor £100, which they voluntarily doubled on account
of " the rapid and extensive aale." For vol. 2d they gave
the anthor £300, and for vol. 3d £tO0. The whole seriea
eomprisea i vols. 8vo, 1777-1800. The reader will find
frequent mention of the aermona and their author in Boa-
■weH'a Life of Johnaon :

•* Dr. Blair la printing aome aermona If they'are all like the
first, which I have read, they are senaoiMt ourM, oc ours lae^
aurtL It Is excellently written both as to doctrine and language,
. . . Please to return Dr. Blair thanks for bis sermons. The Scotch
write Bnglish wonderftilly welL . . . Dr. Blair's sermons are now
■nivefaauy commended ; but let him think that I had the honour
of first finding and first praising hia excellenelea. I did not stay
to add my voles to that of the pabUc"— betters la Bimxtt m 1777.

'•I read yesterday Dr. Blaii'a aermon on devotion, from the text,
'Comellaa, a devout man.* Hia doctrine la the best limited, the
beat ezpfeened: there Is the most warmth withont fiinaticlsm,
ttae moat latloaal transport. ... A noUe sermon It Is, indeed. I
wWi Blair would cone over to the Church of Kngland. ... I love
Blair's sermona Though the dog Is a Scotchman, and a Presbyte-
rUa, and every thing he should not tie, I waa the flrat to pmise
hloL Such waa my candour (smiling.) Mas, Boscawbn; <8ucb his
gnat iMrtt, to get the better of all your prejudice.' ■ Why, Ms.
dBBk let as emapouad the matter; let na ascribe It to aay candour,
aadUaaaacit."'

Saeh was the popularity of Blair'a Senaons, that it has
beat doelarod to axoeed " all that we read of in the his-
loty of litstaton. • . . They ciranlatod rapidly and widely
whei«ver the Bngliah tongue extends; they were aoon
tnsulBted into almost all the langaaces of Bnrope." Not
Iha least pleasing svidenoo of approbation was a pension.

nnproffltluua atoto of one of the most sncoeasftil theological 1
that 1ms ever apneared. Mr. Strahan, however, had sent oi
the sstaaoos toDr. Johnson for his opinion ; and after bis

conferred by royal mandate, of £200 per annnm, which tha
successful preacher enjoyed until hia death. It is needless
to aay that the popularity of Blair'a sermons has long siuca
paaaed away. Whilat praiaed by aome, irreapeotive of their
great merit as literary compoaitiona, for that avoidance of
doctrinal character which could not Ihil to displease many
readers, it is urged on the other hand that there is hardly
sufficient of the spirit of Christianity to elevato them above
the rank of mere moral eaaaya.

" A low tone of divinity, once popular," ia the only no-
tice which Hr. Bickerstoth deigns to take of productions
once ao eagerly peruaed and clamorously applauded.

"They excel in perepicnlty of arrangement and expreesion, bat
are too stilt, artificial, and elaborate Ibr models of pnlplt eloquenos^
Independent of the strain of doctrine." — Dr. K. WiuxAMa.

'* We cannot deny the absence of every beauty, as well ss of
most Ikults In Blair. . . . Ills florid and artificial elegance obtained,
withont question, most extenalre popularity; but it is very doubt,
fill whether his hearers would have been attracted by any other
writer; whether they would not have r^ected a more energetic
and Impressive style as irregular and enthusiastic"— Xon. litiar-
terig Rmmo.

" The merits of Blair (by Ikr the most popular writer of sermons
within the hist century) are, pbiln good sense, a happy application
ta a elc '

of scriptaial quotation, an<
tinged with scrl]

liear, haimonious style, richly
ptural language."— JSUmiwyik Kmas.
Their character Is that of moral discourses, but as such thev
never could have attained their popularity without that high
l^lish of style which was the author'a peculiar olfject Under
thia are concealed all the deibcts which attach to them as sermons,
a name which they can never deserve when compared with the
works of the most eminent English and Scotch divines."

The elaborate review of Blair'a Sermona by John Fos-
ter deserves the carefiil perusal of every one who can ap-
preciate purity of atyle and elegance of diction. The
celebrated diacouraea are caatigated without mercy ; per-
hapa without proper allowance for that difi'erence in philo-
logical taate and oonatruction of sentencea which we wit-
neaa in the literature of perhapa every aueoeeding genera-
tion. Hr. Foator chargea that,

" In the first place, with respect to the language, though the
selectkin of words is proper enough, the arrangement of them In
sentences is often In the utmost degree stiff and artiflcial. It la
hardly posaible to depart hirther fWttn any resemblance to what la
called a living or spoken style, which is the proper diction at all
events for popular addresses, if not for all the departments of
prose oompositlon. Instead of the thought throwing itself Into
words, by a free, instantaneons, and almost unconscious action,
sod passing off In that easy Ibrm, It Is pretty apparent there was
a good deal of handicraft employed In getting ready proper cases
and trusses, of various but carel^llly measured lengths and figures,
to put the thoughts Into, aa they came out. in very slow succea-
sion, each of than cooled and stiffened to numbness In waitlog so
long to tw dressed. ... In the second place, there Is no texture In
the composition. The sentencea appear often like a series of little
Independent propositions, eseh satlsfled with its own distinct
meaning, and capable of twing placed in a different part of the
train, without Injury to any mutual connection, or ultimate pur-
pose, of the thoughts. The ideas relate to the subject generally,
wltfaout specifically relating to one another."

Mr. Foster then proceeds with no gentle band to apply
the diaaeeting knife to other limba of this body of divinity,
if we may so call it. Indeed it ia the want of an aataiHa,
snch OS the preacher's vocation would naturally lead na to
expect, which he pathetically deplorea. Yet whilat some
aeriona defecta may tie willingly admitted, the aermona of
Blair poaseaa merits of a aubatantial and enduring kind;
and though now apparently dead and known to the many
" only by reputation," yet have they anfficient vitality to
inaure a reaurrection ; and our children will agree with
their grandfathers in applauding and improving by thoae
classical diequiaitiona which they will marvel their paranU
ahonid ever have neglected.

Blair, James, d. 1743, a learned divine of the Scot-
tish Epiacopal Chureb, founder and flrat President of Wil-
liam and Mary College, Virginia, waa bom and educated
in Scotland. About 1685 Compton, the Bishop of London,
sent him as a misaionary to Virginia ; in 1889 he appointed
him Eoclesiaatical Commiaaary, and hia confidence in Blair
was justified by the piety, energy, and unwearied miniato-
rial labours of the latter. In 1693 he retamed to London
in order to obtain the patronage of government for hia
projected college. He obtained a charter, and waa ap.
pointed president, which oiBoe he held until hia death.
He waa rector of a chnreh in Williamabnrg, Virginia,
and President of the Council in that colony. He pub.

(See Blake, Williav ) This poem met with but little
attention at first, but the commendation of Hervey, Pin-
karton, and others, brought it into general notice. Of late
years it seems to be but little read. Mr. Campbell praises
It highly:

" The eighteenth centnTy has produced few specimens of blank
TSTse of so Ihmiliar and simple a character as tliat of The GInive,

It Is a popular poem, not merely because It Is religSoas, but h^
cause its language and imagery are free, natural, and plctnrcsqae.
. . . KIsir may ^ a homely and even a gloomy poet in the eye of
ihstjdkins criticism ; bat there is a mascnllQe and prOBoanced cfaa*
raeter even in his gloom and homellDesa that keepa it moat dis-
tinctly apart from either duUncas or vulgarity. His style pleases
us like the powerful expression of a countenance without regular
beauty."— OKiy on Xnghth Pbdrg.

Mr. Campbell is quite indignant that some of this au-
thor's most nervous and expressive phrases should be cen-
sured as " vulgarisms ;" but a poet who endeavours to in-
sinuate droll satirical sketches, at the expense of physi-
cians and undertakers, into a gallery of sublime represen-
tations of the sable hearse, the Mineral cortfege, and the
gloomy aisles of the city of the dead, cannot hope to es-
cape satire himself. Mr. Campbell's admiration of the
simile of "angels' visits, ahort and far between," is well
known. Whether Norris of Bemsrton would have been
pleased with the evident approval of his brother poets we
do not venture to decide. That Blair was a poet of a high
order, we hold to bo unquestionable. The sketches com-
mencing " See yonder hallowed fane !" and " Invidious
Grave," show the hand of the master.

Blessington, Conntess of, 1787-1849, was b. at
Eoockbut, Tippcrary, Ireland, the second danghter of
Edmund Power, Esq., of Carrabeen. At the age of fifteen
she married Captain Farmer of (be 47th Regiment, R. A.
Ho died in 1817. Possessed of great personal beanty, and
highly accomplished, ahe did not long remain a widow,
and in 1818 was manried to Charles John Gardiner, Earl
of Bleasington. The Earl and Countess resided chiefly
on the Continent until the death of the former in 1829,
when ahe moved to London, and resided there, first in
Berkeley-Square, and subsequently at Gore House, until
1849, when she removed to Paris, where she died in the
same year. The marriage of her step-daughter. Lady
Harriet Anne Frances Gardiner, the only child of the Earl
of Bleasington, to Count D'Orsay, their separation, and
the Bubacqueot family history, are no secrets either in the
Empire of Fashion or the Repnblio of Letters.

Lord Byron was a great admirer of Lady Bleasington,
and her published Conversations with him was one of the
most popular books of the day. Lady B.'s publications
are numerous :

The Magic Lantern. Sketches and Fragments. Tonr
in the Nethorlanda. Converaationa with Lord Byron. The
Repealers. The Victims of Society.

** The Tlctlma of Society, and Tlie Kepealers, have found par-
ticular jkvour in the eyes of thooe whose range of reading Is BtOl
confined to the shelves of a circulating libraij."— OlIlCs LaukM

"The plot Is one which must be read through to be appreciated;
and we fake leave of Lady Blessington, knowing that the name
of her readers will be legion, and that they will find ample amuse-
ment and interest in the clever and AndfUl story of Meredith."—
London Omrt Journal, July 8, 1M3.

The Governess. Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman.

*' This Is a most charming volume — full of the nice feeling, the
keen perception, and the delicate mind of a woman. Certainly an
elderly gentleman, who has been in love six times, has done his
du^ by the female sex ; but the six lovely Ikces collected by Parris
quite warrant the proceeding. £ach &ce has Its separate history
dellghtfhlly done. The stoiim are singularly lively, and lighted
up by a myriad of obserTations either shrewd or touching." — Lun.

*' This is much the best of Lady Blossington's fictions. Tt has
the eonslsteney of an antoblcgraphv ; and the reader will listen
with Interest and enrioaity till tlie Elderly Gentleman has nothing
more to coniess. There Is incident enough in each of his tales to
have ftimlsbed a three-volume noreL The two pathetic stories
relieve the livelier onea very happily; and we close tlie records of
his dreams and follies with a fhll conviction that the Elderly Gen-
tleman deserved his six disappointments." — Lon. At/ienaian.

"These Conlpsslons are sparkling In their execution, and like
all the novels of the accomplished writer, thm are peculiarly

flections wHh which they abound belong to tlie philosophy of one
who has well examined the existing manners. Her portraiture of
Ikmillar scenes, of every-day incidents, are matchless for truth and

Country Quarters. Hannadnke Herbert. Conilsssions of

" The Confessions of an Elderly Oentleman Is a deservedly popu-
lar work; but Its present companion Is, we think, even superior.
The niceties of feminine perception; the workings of the female
heart ; the Innate feelings and educational restraints which control
and modify the paaslons of the sex, shape Itsactlons, and form Its
character, are all portrayed with strlkfaig fidelity. It Is with
these slight shades, which, like the strong colonrs In man's life,
work out the destinies of woman, that Lady Blessington hss painted
the portrait of her heroine, and illnitrafed every turn of her Ikre,
from over-Indulged Infiincy to Irritable and peevish age. The los.
son la-a fine one; tlie Incidents full of Interest, end the dmot/e-

Lady B. contributed many articles to the periodicals of
the day, and for 7 or 8 years edited The Keepsake and
The Gems of Beauty.

We present the reader with a fVill-length portrait of the
Countess of Blessington, drawn by the graphic pencil of
an acquaintance of her ladyship — K. P. Willis, Esq., of
Kew York,

" The portrait of Lady Blessington In the Book of Beauty Is not
unlike her, but It Is still an un&vomable likeness. A picture by
Mr Thonuu Lawrence hung opposite me, taken, perhaps, at the
age of eighteen, which is mora like her, and as captivating a re-
presentation of a just matured woman, full of loveliness and love,
ue kind of creature with whose divine sweetness the gazer's heart
aches, as ever was drawn in the painter's most inspired hour.
nie iniginal Is now (she confessed it very frmnkly) forty. She
looks something on the sunny skle of thirty. Her peraon Is ftill,
but preserves aH the fineness of an admirable shape ; har foot Is
not crowded In a satin slipper lor which a Cinderella might be
looked for in vain, and her oomplexkm (an unusually fair skin,
with Tory dark hair and eyebrows) is of even a girlish delicacy
and freshness. Her dress of blue satin (If I am describing her like
amilliDer, it is because I have here and there a reader of the Mlrmr
in my eye who will be amused by it) was cut low, and folded
MCTon her bosom, In a way to show to advantage the round and
■enlptnre-llkecnrveand whitenen of apalr of exquisite shouldera,
while her hair dressed clore to her head, and parted simply on her
^ finvhead with a rich fervniire of turquoise, enreloped In clear
*^s^tHne a head with which it would be dincult to And a foult.
Bec^featares are regular, and her mouth, the most expn«Klve of
th«n; hss a ripe fnlness and freedom of play, peculiar to the Irish
physiognomy, and expressive of the most uniuspleious good hu-
mour. Add to all tbls a voice merry and Rad by turns, but always
musical, and manners of the most unpretending elegance, yet even
more remarkable tor their winning kindness, and you have the
most prominent traits of one of the most lovely and fesdnatlng
women I have ever seen.** — I>ncaiingg by the Way.

We conclude with two opinions of rather a confiioting
eharacter :

** Many things have contributed to raise her to her present po-
sition of polite letters, beyond the general merits of her worlu.
The charm of title, her indlsputaUe taste in the flue arts, and,
above all, her beauty, have been all along so many asslBtlDg ex-
•ellencles to support her literary reputation. . . . When a lady
condescends to write, whose equipage arrests the attention of the
thonsands that throng daily the Ikshlonable localities of London,
■he is all the time, as her carriage r<^l8 on fWnu street to street,
creating a new clasH of readers. Struck with the appearance of her
equlpaire. they are anxious to ascertain bow Its owner looks, thinks,
acts, and writes; the circulating libraries gain new subscribers,
and Lady Blessington exteodii in thiH way the reputation of her
genius.** — Hunfg Ltmdmi JoumaL
Audi alteram partem :

" As an acute and brilliant delineator of the trsUs and Iblbles
of fiisbionablo life. Lady Blessington Is unequalled. She draws
with a steady yet dellrate hand the denlxens of It benu mondft
Justly discriminating the various shades of character she bsR to
deal with ; and presents, at last, a lively picture, replete with Rtrik'
Ing contrast, yet exquisitely natural, of which we. admire the exe-
cntton, whilst we acknowledge the truth." — Cburt Journal.

In^rton, in Suffolk, was the youngest son of a tailor, who
died before Robert was a year old, leaving a widow with
six children. Robert was placed in charge of his brother
George in London, to learn the mystery of shoe-making.
A knowledge of reisdlng and writing was about all ha ao-
qutred during tbe few months he was sent to school. By
the kindness of his brother George and an soqnaintanoe
named Fawcett, be was f\imished with a number of boolcs,
— a History of England, British Traveller, a Geography,
Paradise Lost, tbe Seasons, Ac. This last work so en-
chanted him that for some time he spent all his leisnre
hoars in its pomsal. Whilst working with six or seven
other men in a garret, he composed mentally, arranged
and rearranged, his poem of the Farmer's Boy, without
committing a line to paper. When able to procure paper
he had, as he remarks, " nothing to do but to write it dovm."
The poem was olfenKl to seversl pnblisheis withont rao-

eeu ; but Bloomfleld fonnd a warm friend in Capel Lofft,
who took measures to have it printed. Its auccess waa so
great that 20,000 copies werB sold in three jeara. In the
next year an edition was pub. at Leipstc; a trans, into the
French, Le Valet dn Fermier, appeared in Paris ,- a trans.
into Italian was pub. in Milan, and the Rev. W. Glubbe
produced Apieolae Puer, in Latin verso. The other publi-
cations of Bloomfleld were, Bural Tales, Ballads, and
Songs, Lon., 1802, 8vo; Good Tidings, or News from the
Farm, 1804, 4to; Wild Flowers, 1800, 18mo; Banka of the
Vje, 1811; Works, 2 vols., 1814, ISmo; May Daj with
the Muses, 1822, 12mo. His Remains in Poetrj and
Yera^ 2 vols. 8vo, appeared in 1824. Our author, in con-
sequence of imprudent liberality to poor relationa, and of
an unfortunate adventure in the book business, lived In
poverty, and died some £200 in debt, leaving a widow and
four children.

Few oompositiona !n the Engllah language have been so
generally admired as The Farmer's Boy. Those who agreed
in but little else in literary matters were unanimous in the
commendation of the poetical powers displayed by the pea-
sant and journeyman mechanic. When Lord Byron, in
revenge for a deserved flagellation at the hands of Jeffrey,
undertook, with that mixture of arrogance and potty malice
which were hia distinguishing characteristics, to turn the
literary corps into the subjects of a genoml wbipping-
aohool, he does not forget the author of the Farmer's Boy :
" Hear then, ye bappy aDns of needlesB tradel
Swains quit the plough, resign the UMletn ffpode:
Lol BVRNS and BuwHniLD, nsy, a gronter Jkr,
Oifford, was bom beneath an adTerse star,
Vonook the l^Ktun of a wrrlle state,
Stemm'd the rode stcMin, and triumphed over Fate.**—
Sngluh BartU and Scotch BeoUwm. See BLOOMnsLD, Natbamiki.
Among the eulogists of Bloomfleld have been Parr,
Southoy, Aiken, Watson, Montgomery, Dr. Drak«, and Sir
£gerton Brydges. We quote some opinions:

''* Sach indeed are the meiita of this wor^, [The Fanner's Boy,]
that, In true pastoral imagery and simplicity, I do not think any
wodactlon can be put in competition with It since the days of
Theoerltua To that charming rusticity which particularizes the
Gredan, are added the individuality, fidelity, and boldness of
deacrlpUon wbidi render Thomson so interesting to the lovers of
Nature.** — Da. Natha!( Drake: LiUrarv Hourr.

^ Flowing numbers, feeling piety, imagery and animation, a
taste for the picturesque, Jbreo of ttwnght, and a true sense of the
natural and pathetic,"

Mr. Lofft oonsidera to be the common eharacteristica of
Thomaon's Seasons and Bloomfleld's Farmer's Boy. He
doss not perceive any other resemblance, as some profess
to do.

" Mr. Bloomfleld, on the publication of The Fumet's Boy, was
looked on as a poetical prodigy, and not without reason. For he
shewed in that poem a very fine feeling for the beauties and the
ooenpations of toe oouutry. ... It is most agreeable to read bis
unlaboured descriptions of plonghtng, and sowing, and reaping,
and sheaf-bindlng, and compunc^ous shooting of rooks. . . . Thio
Fanner's Boy is by Ihr the best written, as to style and oomposi-
tton, of any work of our nnedneated poets. The melody of the
venrifieatlon is oftan exeeedingly beautiful. . . . The Ruial Tales
were many of them Tery good. . . . The description of the Blind
Boy [In the News fh>m the Rum] is worthy of being inserted
among the Flowers of Eiwllsh Poetry : graeefbl, elegant, and most
deen^y afbetlng, even to tears.** — Btackionod't Mag., 1822.

"The Poem certainly discovers very clearly the powers of natmal,
unaffected genius.** — Lau. JfofKUy Stniem.

" We are here ealled away tmm our alwtnuer studies by these
prodnettons of a genuine child of nature. In Bloomfleld*8 first
poem. The Fanners Boy, we saw and commended the evidence (rf
an original genius, well deserrlng of encoungement and cultiva-
tion. With The rarmei's Boy we were highly pleaaed, because It
showed, in the most striking manner, the natural morementa of
an Inffsnooos mind ; but we bedtate not to declare onrselves still
more satisfied with the present vidume." [Knral Tales, Ballads,
and Songs.] — Britith Critic,

The Anti-Jacobin and Critical Review also highly com-
mend the Rural Tales, Ac :

^ We now hail, with increased satlsfltetlon, the mwe matured
flights of his wril-fostered imagination.** — A^iiiJwiahin.

" We hope and believe that the success of this volume will equal
that of The Farmer's Boy : as we are sure that Its merits are not
Inferior."— C^tMexU Reeitm.

Am we commenced the quotation of opinions by a poeti-
tftX sneer of Lord Byron's, we shall conclude with some
ttansai which are much more creditable to their author:
** It Is not quaint and local terms
BeqiriBkJed o*er thy mstio lay.
Though well such dialect confirms
Its power nn1etter*d minds to sway;
But His not these that most display
Thy sweetest eharms, thy gentlest thiall;—
Words, phrases, feshld&s pass away.
Bat Truth and Nature live throogh all."

Comedies, Lon., 1632, Svo.

** They were pobllshed by Kdward Blount, the bookaeller, one ot
the proprietors of the tint edition of the plays of Shakapeara."

Though Dr. Bliss made this correction in 1813, the error
has been handed down in our latest works. But such im-
perfection must I>e, and doubtless we hare our taW share.
In the Oracles of Reason, (see Blouht, Gbarlxs,) will be
found a Latin fragment by Sir Henry, which shows that
the skeptical opinions of Charles Blount were certainly not
likely to be rectified by the unsound sentiments of his
father. Of solid judgment there would seem to have been
a sad deficiency in both.

CaiTTQDl OH TRI MOST CXLIBRATXD WKITSSS, Or a treatlie In whtoh
the various opinions of the most teamed men, ss to the merit of
the most &mous authors In every a^e, are delfrered, wherebj the
reader soay, with great ease, diseem what li most memoiafale with
respect to each or these antfaora, and In what esteem they have
always been amon|[ the learned. The whole tx the use of the
studious, collected and digested according to the order of time
In which the authors flourished."— Auy. Brit. ; In which see the
author's admirable epistle explaining his design.

It will be observed tiiat the plan of this work is the one
in view in the present volume, (limited to British and
Amerioan authors,) though one entertained by us long be-
fore we were aequainted with the peculiarltiea of Sir
Thomas's excellent compilation. It is written in Latin,
nnd in the foreign editions, Oeneva, 1694, 4to, and 1710,
4to, the quotations flrom modem languages are trans, into
Latin, so aa to give the whole a uniform appearance.

** When I first oegan the work. It was scaieely In my thoughts
to eommuuleate It to the learned world: ft>r ray own use 1 drew it
together; and now at the request of penons of distinguished
learning, give It to the Public The rather because having ob-
served witn what eagerness the Acta Enahlontm. and other books
of the same nature, are caught up, not only by men of slender
learning, but even sudl as are In the first forms of learning, I
could not but hrae, that even this collection of mine, such as It
Is, would not displease them." — BgritiU to Uie rradrr, m Bing. BriL
Sir Thomas's list of authors is brief indeed, as it in-
dttdea lest than 600 names, although he begins with
"Herme* Trismegistns, who is thought to have been co-
eval with Hoses, and from him I descend U> our own time."
We intend that our list shall enrol the names of some
80,000 authors, but oannot, of course, be expected to be
very diSiMe in treating of each one. Niceron compares
the Censnra to Baillet^s Jagemens des Savans, but there
is the important diffeienee that Baillet reports tbo opinions
of otban in his own words with his additions, whilst Blount
tnoseribes them literally, which, remarks a critic, "adds
•onslderably to tiiair value." This value, at least, the pre-
MDt Tolmne will possess, whilst we shall take the liberty
which Honsieor Baillet indulges in, of occasionally stat-
ing our own views.

" Blount caslts no class nor any age; his arrangement Is nearly
ehrondogieal, and leads the leader from the earliest records m
Itterature to Us own time. The polite writers of modern Europe,
aad the men of science, do not receive their full staue of atten.
Hon; bat this volnme, though not, I think, much In request at
arsaent. Is a very eonvenient accession to any scholar's library."-^
fibBom's Lit, q/^Kmse.

*** Umbmtleara onim vitam et ab omul strepltu remotam sem-
per In dslltlls haboi,' says the author In the ptefece. It treats
ehlsdy of the most learned men, and sparingly of the English."—

"Tbe oUeel of the Oensoia, ke. was to bring together the Ofl.
nions of the learned on the most dlstlngulshod writers of an
countries from the earliest periods; and the very accompllsbed
and erudite compiler has accordingly produced a volume of great
inecaiih. authority, and use."— 8b KaiaTOii Saneasi «bum

" It Is hard to say whether the author's pains or his modesty be
more conspicuous. This we may be the rather allowed to say,
having often consulted 9ir ThoBuu*s book In order to enrich enr
own." — Biag. BriL

Sir Thomas pub. in 1693, IXmo, A Vatnnl History, con-
taining many not common observations, extracted ont of
the best modem authors.

" He presente the public with the fruits of his reading, as to
Natural History, without depriving those from whoen he drew his
knowledge, of any part of their reputation ; a conduct which Cbw
have Imitated, and which we can scarcely enough commend." —

Bodley, Sir Thomaa, 1644-1812, the illustrious
founder of the noble Library at Oxford which bears bia
name, was a native of Dnnscomb, near Crediton. His
birthday, March 2d, should ever be honoured, not only
by the sons of Oxford, but also by the disciples of letters
and philosophy in all parte of the world. His father being
warmly attached to the Protestant oanse, and, therefore,
obnoxious to the favourites of Queen Hary, reaided for
some years at Geneva, when Thomas attended the leotnraa
of Chevalier on Hebrew, Beroald on Greek, and Calvin
and Beaa on Divinity. Returning to England, he was en-
tered at Magdalen College in 1669. Here in doe season
bo became lectarar on the Greek tongue, reader on Natural
Philosophy, and junior proctor. Leaving college, he tra-
velled for nearly four years, and three yeara after his ra-
tum was appointed Esquire of the Body to Queen Bliss.
bath. He now devoted himself to diplomacy, and resided
abroad for almost the whole period Ttom 1686 to 1697.
Having retired to private life, he determined to pat in eze-
ention a loag-obenshed plan, to found in Oxford a librajty
worthy of the rapntation of that ancient seat of learning.
Accordingly he made a proposition to this effect in a letter
" fVom London, Feb. 23, 1697," to Dr. Ravia, Vice-Chan-
cellor of Oxon. He prefaoes his noble overtora with tha
declaration that

" I have been always of a mind that, If God, of his cobdBflS%
should make me aUs to do any thing for the benefit of postarl^,
I would shew some token of aflbetloa that I have evemore borne

Elphinston, Bishop of Aberdeen, founded in thatcity about
1500, the King's College, and sent for Boethins to return
and take the post of principal, which call he obeyed. Upon

L The first edition was pub. at Paris, in 1526, 4ta, under
the title of Scotorum Historia ab illius Gentis Origine. Of
this edit there were but 17 books. The aathor eontinaed
to enlarge and improve it until his death about 1550.(?) An-
other edit, was pnb. in Paris in 1574, folio, containing 18
books, and part of a 19th, added by Boethius, and a con-
tinuation by John Fencer, a Piedmontese, bringing down
the history to the reign of James IIL This History was
trans, by order of James V., by John Ballenden, under
which name the reader will find an account of the version
referred to. Bo rare are copies of the original trans, that
the Roxburghe copy sold for £65, and the Towneley copy
for £85. Sir Walter Soott edited a reprint, (200 copies,)
Edin., 1821, 2 vols. 4la. Ballenden's translations are con-
sidered to be the finest specimens of the old Scottish lan-
guage extant. Boethius has been more praised and hlamad
than moat anthora :

" Of all Scots historians, next to Bnehanan, Boethins has been
the most censured and commended by tbe learned men who have
mentioned him." — HACXSMZia

** In the first six books there are s great many particulars not to
be ftmnd In Fordun, or any other writer now extant ; nnleaa the
suthora which be pretends to have seen be hereafter discovered,
he will continue to be shrewdly suspected Ibr the contrivance c^

** In the 18th book be has treated of things In so comprvbensive
a manner, tbat no one could have done It more fully or slgntt*
cantly on tbe same subject." — Faaaia.

" His style has all the parity of OKsar's, and Is so nervous both
In the refleetioDS and diction, that he seems to have absolutely en-
tered Into tbe spirit of Uvy, and made it bis own."

*' He was a man of an extraordinary happy genius, and of great
eloquence." — Elusvvs, an Intlmste Mend.

■• He was a great master of polite learning, well skilled la It-
vinlty, phOosoptay, and history; but somewhat credulous, and
much addicted to the belief of legendary stories."

'* He may be justly reverenced sa one of the revivers of elegant
learning. The style of Boethius, though, perhaps, not alwsjs
rigorously pure. Is fhnnod with great diligence upon andent mo.
dels, and wholly onlnlected with monastic barbar%. His htaitcty
Is written with elegance and vigour, but his (kbulouaness and ore.

B«liasbroke, Henry St. Joha, Tisconat, 1678-
1761, was the only son of Sir Henry St. John, of Lydiard
Tregose, in Wiltshire, Baronet, by Mary, seeond dauf^tar,
and coheiress of Robert Rich, third Earl of Warwick, of
(hat family. Henry was bom at Battersea, in Surrey,
October 1, 1678, — though 1672 has often been erroneously
•■signed a* the date of his birth. He was brought up
nBder the eye of his grandmother, a Presbyterian, who
placed him under the tutorship of the celebrated Puritan
preaehar, Daniel Burgess, who resided in the fiunily.
Bolingbroke tells Pope, long afterwards, at the end of the
apisfls to Sir W. Wyndham, that he was obliged, while yet
• boy, to lead over the commeDtaries of Dr. Hanton, whose

" Pride it wss to hare made an hundred and nineteen sermons
SB the hundred and nineteenth Psalm."

At Bton he became acquainted with Sir Robert Walpole,
and a riralship here commenced which continaed through
Ufe. He removed from Eton to Christ Church, Oxford,
where, as subscqnently, he was distinguisfaed for bis
taleaU, brilliancy of conversation, fascinating manners,
■ad remarkable personal beauty. He left college only to
continue a course of the wildest profligacy, which caused
his parents, with the hope of his reformation, to bring
abonl a Dutch between the dissolute youth and the
daaghtcrand coheiress of Sir Henry Winchescomb. This
•xperiment, to reform a rake by the sacrifice of an inno-
eent female, ended as such ventures generally do. In a
short time they separated, and were never again united.
Daring his exile she died in England, and in 1720 Boling-
hroke espoused the widowed Marchioness de Villette, a
aieee of Madame Haintenon. They lived together for
thirty years, and he survived her only abont a year. In
1700 he was chosen to represent the borough of Wootton
Basset in FarliamenL In 1704 he became Seerelory of
War, and held this post for three years, resigning in 1707,
when Barley was dismissed from office. In 1710, upon
the fall of the Ckidolphin administration, Harley eame
lata power, and St. John became Secretary of State. In
ITU he was ereatad Viscount Bolingbroke, and exhibited
great ehagrin at not being raised to an earldom. His
father's oongratolation on his new bononrs was something
of the oddest ;

• Ah, Harry," said ha. " I ever said yon wooH be hanged; but
■ew I Had yon wlU be behtadeiir

The aeoession of Oeorge I. interposed an elTeetnsI bar-
ilsr to the ambition of Uie courtier. Addison was made
Ibrsign aeoistaiy, and the Whigs determined to impeach
Bolingbroke of high trsason. Satisfied that bis life was
■load at by his enemies, he fled in disguise, March 26,
ITIS, to Calais. By invitation of Charles Stuart, he visited
him at Lorraine, and aoeepted the post of bis Secretary

I of State, which oansed his impeachment and attaindsr.

I In 1723 he was permitted to retnrn home, and his estates

I were restored to hits, but the House of Lords wss still

' closed against biia. He now, in coiganction with Wynd-
ham and Pulteney,wbo were in Parliament, eommenoed a

' fierce war against Sir Robert Walpole, which lasted for ten
years. The Craftsman, by Caleb D'Anvers, was the vebiels
of their vigorous and bitter attacks. Such was the popn-

I larity of this paper, which commenced Dec. 5, 1725, and
extended to 14 vols. 12mo, that 10,000 to 12,000 copies were

I sometimes sold in one day. In 17S6 he again visited
France, where ho resided until the death of his father, in

j 1742, when he retired to the family seat at Battersea for

i the rest of his earthly existence, whieb was terminated by
a cancer in the face in 1751.

The notorious David Mallet was bis lordship's literary
legatee, and in 1754 he pub. an edition of his works in 6
vols. 4to. To these 2 vols. 4to, of Correspondence, Stale
Papers, Ac, were added by Q, Parke, in 1798. In some
of Uie Essays in the collected edition appeared those skep-
tical opinions which had been less boldly advanced in bis

' lifetime. During his life there appeared a Letter to Swift,
1715, fol. ; the Representation, 1715, 4to ; Hia Case, 1715,
8vo ; Dissertations upon Parties, 1 7,^5, 4to ; these Disser-

I tations, together with the Letters in the Study and Cse of
History, first appeared in the Cr&fTsman ; Remarks on the

' History of England, 1743, Svo; Letters on the Spirit of

, Patriotism ; on the Idea of a Patriot King, and on the
State of Parties at the Accession of Oeorge I., 1749, Svo.
The Idea of a Patriot King had been intrusted to Pope,
who had printed and circulated many more copies than
the author intended. His story is wdl known, and need
not now be repeated. Mallet was employed to edit the
edition pub. 1749, and the Advertisement, severely reflect-
ing npon Pope, has brought down mu<^ eensnre on his
lordship's memory. But a far graver offenee rests upon
the name of Bolingbroke— his impious attacks npon Reve-
lation. Johnson's opinion of the author of these " wild
and pernicious ravings nnder the name of philosophy" is
well known :

" eir, be waa a seoundrsl. and a coward : a scoondral for ehaq^
Ing a blunderbuss against rellcion and morality; a coward be-
cause he bad not resolution to flre It off binisel( but left halfa-
crown toa begfcarly Scotchman, to dnv the trigger after his death."
No doubt Mr. David Mallet considered the post of can-
noneer sufficient honour to counterbalance the condemna-
tion which bis editorial duties encountered. Dr. Johnson
would not bononr either author or editor by perusal ; for
when Mr. Buroey asked bim if he bad seen Warburton's
book against Bolingbroke's Philosophy, he answered in
his characteristic manner :

** No, sir, I hare never rend Bolingbroke's Impiety, and, there-
Ibre, am noA Interested abont Its confntatlon."

The name of Warburton naturally suggests the inge-
nions artifice of Burke in his imitation of Lord Boling-
broke in the Vindication of Natural Society. Both War-
burton and Lord Chesterfield were among Uie believers In
the authenticity of this eloquent forgery. Among the
great men of his time Bolingbroke stood proudly pre-emi-
nent Swift, slow to find or acknowledge merit in any
man, considered himself exalted in lauding St. John, and
Pope hardly stops short of paying him divine bononrs.
Witness the idolatrous enthusiasm of the following :

"I really think there Is something In that gnat man which
looks as If be was placed here by mlsteke. When the comet ap-
peared to us a month or two ago, I had sonelhaee an ImaglDatlon
that It might pooalbly be oome to our world to carry him home;
as aeoacb comes to one's door ftur other visitor*." — ,S!penec'f Ante,
That Bolingbroke was snflloiently mortal to reciprocate
hnman athetlon we have undoubted evidence. He watched

I over the form of the dying bard, and watered his pillow
with his tears. Oa one of these afiiaeting occasions,
Bpenee tells us, he eried " over him for a considerable
time with more concern than can be expressed. ' 0 great
God ! what Is man ?' said Lord B., looking on Mr. Pope, and

' repeating it several times, interrupted with sobs. ' I have

■ known bim these thirty yean ; and value myself more for
that man's love, — than'-— {sinking bis head, and losing his
voice in tears.]" Yet fain would this friend have excluded

j from the dying pillow of the man he so loved, the last con-
solations which can minister to the soul of the departing ;
" The pitMt hod scares departed when Boliagbroke, coming over

I fVom Battel sta. Sew into a great 6t of passion and Indignation en
the occasion of his being called in." — Wutioir.

What a contrast does the "ineriubl* hoar" of Bolingbroke
•ad that of Addison present to onr oonsideration I

Pope had no hesitation in declaring the objeet of his
admiration to be the first writer, as well as the greatest
man, of his age. Many interesting records of his enthu-
siasm will be found in gpence's Anecdotes. Potteriti/ has
not endorsed the Terdict of his oontemporaries. In his
Letters on the Study and Use of History, and those on Pa-
triotism and Idea of a Patriot King, and his other works,
we are charmed by grace of composition of no ordinary
character ; but when we seeli for evidence of solid judgment,
and the results of dispassionate ratiocination, we shall find
onr labour is vain. To quote from the most masterly
analysis with which we are acquainted of the political and
literary character of Saint-Jobn,

" Bo'ingbroke's abUIUes were euKtly of that stunp which utonlsh
and Sudnate those who coma loto peraonal contact with their pcs-
Maaor,— moro brilliant than solid,— more showy than •ubatantfaL
His mind was not a proibund one ; but what It wanted In this re-
spect was atoned ibr bj Its readlnMS aad acutenma. He seemed

if**!* ""^ thing by Intuition, and no sooner had be made him-
self master of a proposition or an ai^nment, than his astonishing
memory enabled Mm to bring forth Tast stores of InfonnaUon and
Unstratlon at a moment's warning. Endowed with a brilliant
imagination,— a prodigious fiow of words,— a style which bsclnates
me reader by the Ineompamble beauty of the language and the
bounding elaatielty of the sentences, and an extraordinary power
»' J"»»»ntlng his conceptions In the clearest light,- his contempo-
rartee looked upon him as one of those ran beings who seem to be
endowed with a nature superior to that of common moriallty, and
who stoop down to the worid only to erlnoe their mastery of all
Ita lore, and their superiority to its Inhabitants. But daisied as
they were by the Tast surtuseof the stream, they tartfA to Inquire
into Us depth. We, In modem times, who know nothing of the
artiBda] splendour with which a ' form excelling human,'— a man-
ner that seemed giTen to sway mankind,— and a mot daziUng
style of couTersaUon,— Invested the name of Bolingbroke. are per-
haps inclined, by the oxaggemtlon of the pnllse once IsTUbed on
Blm, to do him but scanty justice."— OmniR«rkain'i Biag. Miliary.

Pope himself admitted that there might be a limit even
to the genius of his " Saint-John," when he remarked

'•If orer Bolingbroke triUee, it must be when be turns dirlne."

Mr. Warton oonfirms this opinion :

" When Tully attempted poetry, he became as ridiculous as Bo-
lingbroke when he attempted phtloK>phy and dWInlty; we look in
Tain Ibr that genius which produced the Dissertation on Parties,
in the tedfeus philosopbleal works, of which It is no enggerated
satire to say Uutt the reason of them is sophistical and Inconclo-
slre, the style diffuse and rerboee, and the learning seemingly con-
tained In them not drawn from the originals, but picked up and
pnrlolned torn French critics and tianslatlons."— mirtea's lift

Upon the general merits of Bolingbroke as an author.
Dr. Blair has some very judicious remarks :

"Among Knglbih write™ tbe one who has most of this character
^ehemence] though mixed indeed, with aeTeral defects, la Lord
Bolingbroke. Bolingbroke was formed by nature to be a Ikctjons
leader: tbe demagogue of a popular asMimbly. Accordingly the
style that runs through all his political writings Is that of one
declaiming with heat, ratlior than writing with deliberation. He
abounds In Khetorical Figures i and ponrs himsalr forth with great
Imiietnoslty. He Is copious to a fcult; places the same thought
before us In many diAerent riews, but geneially with life and ar-
dour. He Is bold, rather than correct; a torrent that flows strong,
but often madly. His sentences are rarted aa to length and short-
ness; inclining, howerer, most to long periods, sometimes Inclnd-
%ff""*°*'**"""^"™"3'"*"dlngandh«aplngsmnltltnde
or things upon one another, as natnrallr happens In the warmth
'??"*; '" *'" <='»'"' of bis wonbs there la great felicity and
pcacbton. In exact construction of sentences, he Is much Inferior
to Lord Shaftesbury, but greatly superior to him In life and ease.
Upon the wbde, bis msttt as a writer would haTe been very ooo-
siOerable, if his matter had equalled his style. But whilst we And
many things to commend In tbe latter, In the former, as I before
remarked, we can hardly find any thing to commend. In bis rea-
sonings, for tbe meet part, he Is fllnmy and felsc; In bis political
writings, tactions; in what he calls bis philosophical onMi, Irrellglons
and sophistical in the highest degree. ... It is Indeed my opinion
that there are few wriUngsin the English language, which, for the
matter contained in them, can be read with less profit or frnlt,
ttan I«d BoUngbroke's works."— Blirtr's Laitum on ItMoHc aii3

" Lord Bolingbroke had early made himself master of men aod
books: but In his flnt career of life, being Immersed at once in
business and pleasure, he ran through a variety of Ecenes la a bw^
prislug manner. When his pesslons subsided by years and dlap

Warburton, who defended the memory of Pope againit
the attacks of Mallet, (Bolingbroke?) felt it incumbent
upon him as a divine to take up the lance in eharapionskip
of those sacred truths which his lordship's Essays so rain-
lessly assailed. His View of Lord Boiingbroke's Philoao-
I^y, in two Letters to a Friend, 1764, '55, would have been
ill brooked by the noble author had it appeared in bis
lifetime. The many absurdities into which his lordship'i
eagerness to attack the truth causod him to fall, will be
seen by reference to a book which should i>e in eveiy theo-

talents so well qualified to benefit his raoe, it is a melsn-

of Souex, and edueatad at Oxford. Althoagli a man of

ttom him. Hearne teUi as that Ik

thithor the more readOj, he would make hnmorona tpeechei.**

His excose for this Opprobrium ifedieorum most be the
" rambling head and inconstant mind" which Wood asserts
that ha possessed. Ue pub. several works : Prynoyples
of Astronomye, Lon., 1510, 8vo ; reprinL 100 copies, 4 on
vellum, Lon., 1814, 8vo. The first Boke of the Introdno-
tion of Knowledge, the whieh doth teach a man to speake
part of al maner of languages, and to knows the usage and I
fashion of al maner of countryes, Ac, Lon., 1542, 4to;
new edit, by Copland, *t»« anno.

** Probably the moet curious and nnemUy Interesting volume
ever put forth from the press of the Copl&nda" — DisDix.

The work is partly in verse, partly in prose, with wooden
eats prefixed to each of the 30 chapters.

" The fint Is a latlra, ss It appears, on the fickle nature of an
Englishman ; the ■ymbollca] print prefixed to this chsptvr exhlblt-
iug a naked man, with a pair of shears in one hand, and a roll of
cloth In the other, not determined what sort of a coat he shall order
to be made, has more humour than snj of the venes which follow."

^a two first of the verses are these :

** I am an Englleman, and naked I stand here,
Musing tu my mind, what niyment I shall wear.**

"Nor Is the poetiv destitute of humour only; but of evefT eos.
bellishment.bothof metrical arrangement and expression. Borde
has all the boldness of allusion, and barbarity of verslflratlon. be-
longlnc to Skelton, without Us strokes of satire and MTerity." —
HbrCnri Bng. I^ittry.

The Breviarie of Healthe for all manner of Sicknesses
and Diseases, Ac, Lon., 1547, 4to. This was approved by
the University of Oxford.

" 1 am confident this book was the first written of thst Iheulty
In English, and dedicated to the eoilefee of physidans In London.
TUce a taste out of the beginning of his dedicatory epistle :

" ( ^{regions doctors and masters of the exlmlons and arcane
sdenee of physic, of your urbanity exasperate not yourselTes
against me for making this little volume of physic.*

^ Indeed his book contains plain matter under hard words; and
was accounted such a jewel In that age (things whilst the flrstsre

"It was accounted a book fnll of wit and mirth by scholars and
gentlemen. Afterwards being often printed, is now sold only on

** Hearne was of opinion that these Idle pranks of the men of
Ootbam,atown In LlneolnsUre, bona reference to some customary
law-tenures belonging to that place or Its neighborhood, now grown
obsolete; and that Blount might have enriched his book on Ah-
OlsirT TswuxxB with those Indicroiu stories."

Borde was author of several other works. Consult Wood's
Athen. Oxon., Bliss's edit; Warton'a Eng. Poetry; Sib-
din's Ames ; Brit. Bibliog, ; Rilaon's BibL Poet ; Dodd's
Ch. Hist., voL L ; Cooper's Muses' Library ; Phillips's Thesb-
tmm Poet. Angl.; Heame's Pref, to Bonediotni Abbaa
Patrobnrg. ; Chalmers's Biog. Diet.

''Dr. Borde was an irngtmima man, and knew how to humour
and please his pstlenia, readers, and auditors. In his travels and
visits, ha often appeared and spoke In public; and would often
fi«qnent markets and Mrs where a eonflnx of people used to get
together, to whom he prescribed; and to Induce tham to flock
thither the mors readily, he would make humorous speeches,
couched In such language as canasd mirth, and wonderfully pro-
pagated his fcme." — Rearne'i Bemediabu Abh^ tom. 1.

" Our author Borde was esteemed a noted poet, a witty and In-
lesnlous psison, and an excellent pbystdan of his time." — Mkm.
Osea.

Wood also refers to the tradition of Borda'a having bean
physician to Henry YIIL ; but for this opinion Warton
oonld find only " vary slender proof."

** A madphysldaa and a dull poet . . . Horde's muaa would not

have been now remsmbered, had he wrote only prodmnd aystemf
In medicine and astronomy. He Is known to posterity as a bufltaou,
not as a philosopher." — Ripltsk J^tftrf.

Borde published the jests of John Seogan, the favonrita
buffoon of the conrt of Edward the Fourth :

" They are without humour or Inventlou; and give US no very
Ihvonrable Idea of the delicacy oftheklngsnd conrtSers, who could
be exhilarated hr the merriments of such a writer." — Waktom.

Boswell, James, 1740-1796, the Mend and biogra-
pher of Dr. Johnson, was a native of Edinburgh, a son
of a Judge, who was called Lord Auchinleek from his es-
tate, in conformity to Scottish cnatom. He studied law
at Bdinhnrgh, Olasgow, and Ctreob^ and afterwards be-
came an advocate at the Scotch bar. Besides the great
work by which he will be known to the latest generationa,
he pub. several political, legal, and Utetary eaaaya. His
Journal of a Tour to Corsica, pub. Qlasg., 1768, Svo, was
received with much favour, and wsa trana into the Cler-
man. Butch, Italian, and French languages.

** Your Jonnwl Ig curioua aod delii^htfni. 1 know not whether
I could name any narrative by which curiosity ia better exdted
or better gratified." — Dr, Jofinton to BosukU.

His Introduotion to Br. Johnson occurred May 16, 1763.
Perhaps no one who has read BoswsU's amusing account
of thia interview will ever forget it! It ia unneceaaary to
enter into any detail reapecting a matter so well known
as the character of James BoswelL The reader will find
a review of Croker'a Boswell's Johnson in the Edinburgh
Review for 1831, by Mr. Hacanla7, in which these three
gentlemen are depicted with more strength of colouring
than accuracy of drawing. Boswell'a Life of Johnson
did not appear until 1791, 2 vols. 4to, six years after the
demise of hisaubjeet. The sale from 1781 to 1806 reached
about 4000 copies. We cannot better oecapy our space
than by quoting some opinions concerning this renowned
work. Mr. John Wilson Croker deaerves great credit for
bis excellent edition of BosweU. We venture this asser-
tion notwithstanding the nnaoooantable attempt of Mr.
Maoaulayto deprsoiate the value of Mr. C's editorial la-
boars. We beg to preaent on the other side the oommen-
dation of an authority whose deoision will hardly be
qnesUoDed :

" The edition of Boswell by my aUs ant laaraad Mend, Mr.
Oroker, is a valtuUe aemaion to Ulamtnre; and tiie welMnown
aeeunMy of that gentleDuin givea Importance to fala lafaoors.'*—
Loan BaoiwHui : ortida "Jolinwn," At rimsa i^ Oorpi nt

That Mr. Croker has occaatonally lost his way tn a wil-
derness of 260A notes, cannot be lUspated ; that Mr. Ma-
canlay is not altogether infallible, is equally certain. Oar
warm admiration of Mr. Macaulay'a remarkable powers
m^ea na the more regret that the embarrtu da HdMtn —
tile fruit of his vast erudition— ehonld render him some-
times unable to perceive the merit of those whom ha oriti-
eiaos. Mr. Croker's last edit was pub. by Mr. Murray in
1848, 1 vol. r. Svo.

•< Boswdl'a LUb of JotanaoB is the richest dlcHonaiy of wit and
wisdiaa any lannage can boast of; and ita treaauree wmjnow be
refetred to with inllnltely gnater nee than hsralolbre. Batangad
and lUamlnated by the hidoatrions namrrhm and the aagadona
running critlctsm of Mr. Croker, It la, without doubt — excepting
a Ibn Immortal monnmenta of creative genius — that Kngllah book
wbioh. were the Island to be sunk to-morrow with all Its Infaablt-
anta, would be most prized In other days and eountrlea by the
students of 'as and oar history.' To the Inflnanee of Boswefl we
owe probably thrae-fenrtha of wbat ta most entertaining, as well
aa no Inconaidemble portion of whatever la most inatmctlTe, In

We might adduce many more teatimoniea to the axceU
lenoe of Mr. Croker's editioii. Perhapa a dosen such ar«
lying befora na,.batw« must oontent ounelves with th«
following :

" We cannot believe that any aufaaeqnent tmprOTomettt will
ever be mads upon thia .edition ; and we bave no doubt that It wU
excite the cnrioalty and raward the attention of the reading world.
We hope that we ahall be able to repeat tba aaying of a diatin-
gnlahed writer of the Uat age—* Kveiy one that can buy a book
baa bought Boawell.' "—Xorth Amtrican Reriew.

We ^d a few more commendations of BosweH's Johnson ;

" I now appreciate, with a keen recollection of iho pleasnra whleh^

"In than memoirs of Dr. Johnaon there are eo many witty aay.
tnga, and ao many wise onea, by which the world If It pleasea may
be at once entertained aad tanproved, that 1 do not ngrst thefr

■' Boawell'a Lift of Johnaoa la one of thebest hooka In the world.
It la aaauredly a great, a very great work. Hcnar bi net more d»
cUadly the first 1^ heroic Poets,— Shakaaean la not aors daoldediy
the first of Drwaatlata, — Demoathenaa la net mere decidedly the
first of Orators, than Boawell la the first of biographers. He has
dIataneedaU hkeompetitaraaodaddsdly that it Is not worth whila
to place them: Edlpae la first, and all the rest nowhere. Weav
not aure that there la In the whole hlatory of the human intellect
ao slognlar a pb^nomeaon aa this book. Many of the greateat
men that ever Uved have written biography ; Boawell waa one of
the amalleat man that ever lived, and he baa beaten them alL"^
T. K Macislsx t JHfa. Beritw, 1831.

" Boawall's Ufe of Johnson la aneh a maaierpiece in Ita parties,
lar apecles, aa perhapa the literature of no other nation, ancient
or modem, could boaat It preaerrea a thousand predona anee*
dotical meraotlala of the state of tbe arte, mannera, and poUqy

^loaopliera and anttqnarles of a ftitars age.'— CAobnoya Biof.

" There are few bixika that have aSbrded more amnteneat, or
probably Imparted mare Inatnictlon, than wbat la uanallv called
Bameiri Lift I)/ JohKKM ; which Is, In lurt, chiefly Boawell'a repe-
tition of the convermtlona of that great man whoae name adorns
the title-page of his work. Perbapa It la only fkom the literary
prodoctiona of Johnaon hfanaelt and aearedy even Aan them, that
equal advantage is to be rasped."

Mr. Croker calls our attention to tbe important faet that
Boawell really law very little of his great friend :

" or above temKy yean, tfaereibra, that their aoinaintancelaatad,
periods equivalent In the whole to about three-qnartera of a year

only, fell under the porsonal notice of Boswell It appears

tbe time of the Toon, when ttiey were together from the 18th Au-

of America since his 15th jear, and identifying his name
with American and English jurisprudence, we need make
no apology for enrolling the name of Judge Bonvier in a
list of British and American authors. The first indication
which John Bouvier exhibited of that remarkable power
of analysis which eminently distinguished his mind, waa
the production of an abridgment of Blnokstone's Commen-
taries, the ft-uit of his leisure hours whilst preparing for
aidmiaaion to the bar. In 183B he pub. a work, which,
with all the rest of his nsoftil and laborious compilationi,
liaa attained great and deserved popularity :

In 1841 Judge Bonvier undertook the laborious task of
As preparation of a new edition of Bacon's Abridgment

Usher of PhiladelpUa, • ■^•in-law of Judge Bouriaf,

took charge of a portion of another volnne. With this
exception, the whole of this Herenlean teak devolved upon
onr indafatigable anthor, who oompleted it in (he intervals
of business in only four years 1

" Among other fanpravements, ha prepared the first Irulex It aver
had, for each volume, and a general one for the whole. A single
sentence as to the character of this work, as It cams from hIa hands,
would be entirely superfluoos." Bee Baooh, Mjlttbiw.

Judge Bouvier bad now earned a substantial claim to
the gratitude of the profession, by the laborious teal with
which he had endeavoured to provide for the student •
clue through the apparently interminable labyrinth of
statute and common law. But he had long felt the need
of a compendious, yet easily comprehensible, summary of
American law, which should at once serve as a guide to
the youthful student and as a convenient digest of know-
ledge, perhaps aoquiied in earlier years, but now partially
forgotten, by the "Qamaliels of the profession." The
mind of no man can Iw guaranteed as " marble to retain,"
and between that which we never knew, and that which
we know not when we need it there is for praotieal pur-
poses but little difference.

The analytical system of Pothier was held by onr anthor
in great admiration. His mind was essentially of the same
oast — delighting in rigid analysis of subject, scrupulous
care in classiflcaLion, and severe aecumcy in definition
and terminology. It is well known that taa compilers of
the Code Napoleon owe much of the credit which iiai re-
warded their labours to the Pandectaa Justinianen, and
other works of Pothier. Jndge Bouvier determined to
undertake a compend of American law, baaed npon the
method of Pothier. Finding hia own views as to the sys-
tematical arrangement of legal subjaots confirmed by so
eminent an au^ority, he was strengthened by that en-
oonrsgement which mental asaimilation always eonfei*
npon men of remarkable grasp of intellect When eon-
templating "enterprises of great pith and moment" it (•
a great satisfaction to the wlventurer to find that others
have l>een inflamed by the same seal, and buoyed up under
diScnlties by a like hope. The sailor who "hogs the
coast" oares little for oompanionship ; bnt he who an-
eonntera a fellow-mariner on the wide waste of waters ibela
the consolations of sympathy and continues his voyage
with renewed courage. That we may not be snspeeted of
under-estimatioD of labours of which we must necessarily
he an incompetent jndge, we shall strengthen our position
by some brief extracts iVom some of the most learned "opi-
nions" of which the American bench and bar oan boaat

The Inatitntes of American Law was pub. in 1851, in 4
vols. 8vo. The author may be said to have "died in the
harness:" in two months after he had the grstifieation of
seeing the result of his arduous Isbonrs given to the world,
he was gathered to the " house appointed for all living."

" It Is A work of very great vahte. . . . The general plan, and the
order and arrangement of the snbleets of which It treats, could
not I think, be Improved. And I may say the same thing of the
manner in which the plan la carried into execution. For every
principle and rule la stated with brevity and perspicuity, and sup-
ported by proper reforenoe." — Hon. Rooeh B. Tanet, (^iefJiutiet

** I know of no work which shows so much resaareh, and which
embodioa ao generally the elementary prinelplaa of American Lew,
as the Institutes of Mr. Bouvier. His name Is most fevouraUy
known to the profession by hla previous Works; and I am ;;rcAlly
mistaken If hia Institutes afaall not add to his high reputation aa

Hr. Bwinton gave Dr. Johnson a list of the autbora, whicb
will be found in a sots from the doctor to Nichols, Dsa t,
1784. (Baawell'aJohnaon.) Bower new tamed: his attaa>
tion to the publication of a Hiatery of the Popes, a portion
of which he says hb had prepared whilst at Rome. This
work waa pub. at intervals from 1748-68, 7 vols. 4to. In
the year in which h)a let voL appeared, he waa appaintad
Librarian to Queea Caroline. Ihia hiatary ledto a warm
eontroven^. Hia oharactsr was atteaked.as aatlNly bm
worthy of oredit, and sufficient eridenee waa pradaeed ta
min hia reputation with the public at largo, notwithstand*
ing hia ezcnlpataiy pampidata, (pob. 1750-Cl.) Hia tried
firiend. Lord Lyttalton, however, refused to credit any
thinff against Bower :

" The merit of the work will bear It up against all then attaeks(
and as to the ridiculous stor^' of my havhig dlaourded blm, tha liw
tlmate friendship In which we continue to live will be a auSrIant
answer to that, and better than any teatlmony Ibnnally glTsa."—
lord Ltttellon la Dr. Ooddridge, Oct. ITSl.

In 1757 an abridgment of the first fonr vols, of the His«
tory of the Popes was pub. in French, at Amsterdam. All
idea of the incompetency of the author for the production
of a great historical work, may be inferred from the fast
that tie,eompressce tha evantAil history of the Cfaareh from
1600 to 1758 into 26 paces! .

vi. and vii., 1782-85; to Orsnger's History, and to John-
son's and Steevens's Shakspeare.

** X am not the Translator of Don Quixote. I have too mnch oon-
eelTlng of the merit of the origliial of Cervantes ever to think of
appearing In that character. The dlfflenltlea o( a translator most

to impart that pleasure to others, which I nlmoet lolelv poeaeised,

cient and modem ; with a Glosaary and Indexes, In which are oo-
casionally interspersed some Reflections on the Learning and Qe-
nina of the author, with a Map of Spain adapted "to the History,
and to every Translator of It.**

What a glorious prospect is here I Tet the work, as we
already said, was a failure. In the words of a cold-blooded
eritio :

** The public sentiment seemed to be that annotations on Cer.
vantes were not quite so necessary as on Bhakapeare **

The enthnsiastie Don Bowie, disgusted with such heart-
lessness, renounced the press, and left the stupid " public"
to their downward course of ignorance and fatuity ! That
any sane man, woman, or child could really Ira indilTerent
to the least word, wink, and gesture of the Knight of the
Sorrowful Countenance, and the philosophic apothogmatlst
Sancho Pania, was hard to believe, but if snch were the
stolidity of that thick-skulled generation, — so lot it be !
He had discharged his duty; therefore he washed his
hands, shook the dust from hia feet, locked his library
door, and was soon entranced In the fields of La Mancha,
the persevering revolutions of the Windmills, the lustre of

works of Alexander Pope, in 10 vols. 8vo, for which he
received £300. The editor criticized his author, and hence
arose an animated controversy. Campbell and Byron at-
tacked the positions of Mr. B., and especially his dogma
that " all images drawn from what is beautiful or sublime
in the works of nature, are more beautiful and sublime
than any images drawn from art ; and that they are there-
fore jier s« more poetical." To this Byron responded, not
very poetically, that "a ship in the wind," with all sail
set, is a more poetical object than a "bog in the wind,"
though the hog is all nature, and the ship all art This
was the ReAuaio ad ohturdmn, indeed : although Bowles
might have rejoined that the supposed porker, however
respectable, eould hardly be considered either " sublime or
beautifhL" This controversy lasted for many years. In
1825 Bowles published his Final Appeal to the Litenu7
Public nlative to Pope, elicited by Roscoe's edit, of Pope,
in 1825, and in 1826 the last gun was fired by Lessons in
Criticism to William Roscoe, Ac, F. R. S., in answer to
his Letter to the Rev. W. L. Bowles on the Character and
Poetry of Pope, Svo. In 1818 he pub. Vindicin Wyke-
hamicse, in reply to Mr. Brougham, and addressed Two
Letters to him when he became Lord Chancellor, on the
Position and Incomes of the Cathedral Clergy. In 1826
he pnb. The Parochial History of BremhiU, and in 1830-
31, The Life of Thomas Ken, D.D. The Annals and An-
tiquities of Laoock Abbey appeared in 1835. Mr. B. also
pub. Letters to Lord Mounteasbell and Sir James Mackin-
tosh, and had a controversy with the Rev. Edward Duke,
in the Gen. Mag., rdative to the antiquities of Wiltshire.
Mr. Bowles's reputation as a poet is deservedly great.

In bis Literary Biography, Mr. Coleridge expresses in
glowing terms the delight he received f^m the early peru-
sal of Mr. Bowles's sonnets, and the effect which they pro-
duced on his own poetry.

" ^Ve liave ouieelves heard Ihmi Mr. Wordsworth's own lips, that
he got possession of the same sonnets rpnb. In 1798] one saomlng
when he was setting ont with some Mends on a pedestrian tour
from London; and that so captivated was he with their beauty,
that he relaeated Into one of the recesses In Westnilnstsr BridgSL
and eould not be induced to rqjoln bis companions till he had
llnisbod them."— £an. Gmt. Miig., 18M.

Mr. Southcy tnely acknowledges his obligations to our
author : he tells Bedford,

*• My poetical taste was much meliorated by Bowles."— <M.l,17tt.

" This morning I received your 81 John In Patmoa, I have Just
read the poem through, and with mnch pleasure. Yonrs 1 should
have known it to have been by the sweet and unsophlstleated style
npon which I endeavoured, now almost for^ years sgo, to form
my own."— AaAarfo Sawla, July 30, 1832.

** Tlie sonnetsof Bowles may be reckoned among the first flrulfs
of a new em In poetry. They came inanagewheaacooBmonplaee
ftcillty in rhyming on the odc hand, and an almost noneeusleal
aSeetation In a new school on the other, had lowered the standard
BO much, that critical Judgea spoke of Kaglish poetry as of aom»>
thing nearly extinct, and disdained to read what they were sure
to disapprove. In tbeas sonnets there was obaerved a grace of ex-
pression, a mndcal verslAration, and especially an air of melaia.

Bowyer, William, 1699-1777, will long be remem-
bered as the most learned English printer of whom we
have any aoconnt The names of Stephens, of Aldus, of
Bowyer, and such men, may ever be pointed to with com-
mendable pride by the superintendent of the type and mo-
trice. Bowyer'a father and grandfather were printers, so
that he may be said to have inherited the noble art Wil-
liam was bom in Dogwell Court, White Fryars, London,
December Ittb. Ho studied for • time under the eela-
brated Ahsbosb Boswiokb, ({. v.,) and in 1716 was ad-
mitted as a aissr at St John s College, Cambridge. H«
remained here till Jane, 1722, during which time he ob-
tained Roper's exhibition, and wrote in 1719 what hs
styled Epistola pro Sodalitio i rev. riro F. Roper mihi le-
gato. It does not appear that he took his degree of B.A.
In 1722 he entered into tbe printing business as a partner
with his father. From this time until his death Mr. Bow-
yer was engaged in snperintending his press, and contri-
bnting to various learned works in the way of corrections,
prefaces, annotations, Ac. Tbe learned men of tbe day
found it a great advantage to have in tbe person of their
printer a scholar whose erudition and claasicol taste could
reetify their errors and improve their lacubrations. Aoo-
pions acconnt of Mr. B.'s editorial labour of this description
will bo found in that most deligbtftil of books of the class —
Nichols's LrrsRART Axecdotes or the 18th Centubt,
9 vols., 1812-15 ; continued as Illvstra ticks or Literakt
HiSTORT, 1817-48, 7 vols. The foundation of this work
was a pamphlet of 62 pages, 1 778, entitled Biographical Me-
moirs of Mr. Bowyer; enlarged to a 4to vol. In 1782; still
farther enlarged as above. See Nichols, Johr. A va-
luable aoconnt of Bowyer will be found, also, in Chalmers's
Biog. Diet In 1763 Hr. Bowyer pub. his celebrated edi-
tion of the Greek Testament 2 vols. I2mo, containing his
Conjectural Emendations. A second edit of tbe Bmendo-
tions was pub. separately in 1772, Svo, nndar the following
tide : Conjectures on the New Testament, collected from
various Authors, as well in regard to Words as Pointing,
with the reasons on which both are founded. A third edit
appeared in 1782, 4to, and a fourth in 1812, 4to. Ths
great merits of this work were conceded flrom the first

" I must not omit to return mr thanks tor your notes upon the

Boylet Charles, fourth Earl of Orrery, grandson of
the "Oreat Earl of Cork," 1676-1731, was the second son
of Roger, second Earl of Orrery, by Lady Mary Ssckrille,
daughter to Bichard, Earl of Borset and Middlesex. At
1ft he entered a nobleman at Christ Chnrch, Oxford. His
talents were so marked that Dr. Aldrich, in completing at
hia request the compendium of Logic long used at Oxford,
styles him Magnum JEdis nostras urnamontum. Dr. Aid-
rich's high opinion of his abilities proved in the end a
misfortune. to Boyle, aa tbe dean'a enconragement indnoed
him to nndertalie the care of the edition of the Bpistics of
Fhalaris, pub. 1695, which provoked the celebrated con-
troversy witb " 9la.*hing Bentley." Thia subject we have
already treated in tbe article BaaTLZT, RicBABO. The ia-
strament called the Orrary was so named by Sir Richard
Steele, in error, from the fhet that one of the first was made
for the earl by Rowley. The real inventor was a Mr.
Oeorge Orabam. The earl was the author of As Yon Find

His brilliancy was unquestionable, but be was forced to
"pale his ineCTactual fire" before the splendour «f Bent-
ley's rays.

" He resembled In bli cbaneter and act a lltUe in bis t>rtnnaa,

poblieaUoD, u it exposed to tiie world matters which it
WM thought he should, u Swift's friend, haTe confined to
his own bosom. Wsrburton, in his letters to Bishop Hurd,
takes the eati to task in his nsual coarse stjrle, calling
them "detestable letters." Dr. Johnson Jostilled Us
lordship.

" Blacbod asked Johnson If It wu not wrong In Orrsrjr to expose
the defects of a man with whom ha bwl Ured In Intlmaej. Jobk-
aoM; *Wh7 no, dr, alter the nun la deed; Ibr then It Is dona hle>

the pabllcatlon of Dr. Delany'i Remarka on his book, be was so
much alannad that be was amid to read tham. I>r. Johnson oom.
forted him by telling him they were both In the right; that De-
lanr had seen moat of the Rood side of Swift, — Lord Orrery most

all the Lord Orrerys till the present had been writers. The first
wrote aereral plays; the second was Bentley's antagonist; tbe
third wrote the Ufe of Swift, and laTaral other things; his son
llamllton wrote some papen in the Adventurer and Worid." —
JBottodTs Jtjhnton,

Either Johnson or Boswell was inaccurate here.

"In erary domeetio and social relation, In all the endearing
connections of life, as a husband, a flitber, a fiieod, a master, Lord
Orrery bad fcw eqoals. The lustre wbleh he reoelred from rank
and Utle, he reflected back unlmndred and nndlmlnlahed. . . .
He loved truth eren to a degree of adoration, and as a real Chrle-
tlan constantly hoped Ibr a better lUb, there trusting to know the
real cause of thoee effects w hlch here struck blm wlu wonder, but
not with doubt." — ^DcsoaiiBB.

" My friend, the late £arl of Cork, had a great desire to main-
tain toe literary character of his fcmlly : ha was a genteel man,
but did not keep up the dignity of his rank. Ha was so generally
drll, that nobody tbanked him for It. . . . If he had been rich, be
would bare been a very liberal patron. His eoUTerBation was
like his writti^s, neat and elegant, but wlthont strength. He
grasped at mora than his abilities could reach ; tried to pass Ibr a
better talker, a batter writer, and a better thinker than ha was."

Borle, Richard, the "Great Earl of Cork," Iie«-
1044, a native of Canterbury, educated at Bene't, or Cor-
pni Christi, College, Cambridge, belongs to political rather
than to literary history. We may, huwerer, claim him as
an author from his True Remembrances of his Life, pub.
in Dr. Birch's Life of the Hon. Mr. [Robert] Boyle, Lon.,
1T44, 8vo. The literary character of this family is evinced
by the fact that we record in onr list of authors the fol-
lowing descendants of the Qreat Earl of Cork: Roger,
Sth son; Robert, 7lh son; Charles, a grandson; John, a
great-grandson ; and Hamilton, a great-great-grandson.

Boyle, Hon. Robert, 1627-1B91, seventh son and
fourteenth child of the " Clreat Earl of Cork," was born
at his father's seat, Lismore Castle, in the province of
Hunster, Ireland, January 25. When little more than
eight years of age he was removed to Eton School, where
he remained for four years. In 1838 he was sent to Ge-
neva to continue his studies, and here he devoted himself
with great assidnity to Natural Philosophy, the French
language, Ac. In IBil he returned to England, and for
fonr months resided with his sister. Lady Ranelagb.
From March, 16-10, to May, 1650, he was occupied at his
estate of Stalbridge in an extensive course of experiments
in Natural Philosophy, paying especial regard to Chemis-
try. He visited Ireland in 1652, and on his return in
1654 put in exocution a project which he had long che-
rished of settling at Oxford, where were many of his
learned friends, vis. : Wilkins, Wallis, Ward, Willis, Wren,
Bathurst, and others. He resided principally at Oxford
until April, 1668, when he settled in London at his sister,
Lady Ranelagh's, in Pall Mall. The aficctionata rela-
tives never separated again until the death of the Vis-
conntess Ranelagb, in December, 1691; her illustrious
brother survived her only a week, and they were baried
by each other in tbe church of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Mr. Boyle was never married. To a man of the character
of Robert Boyle death brought no terrors : the great phi-
losopher had long before learned to "become a little
ehild," and reposed with unfeigned humility, yet confiding
hope, in the promises of Him who is " the Resurrection
Uld the Life." Earthly honours he had never courted.
Of fifteen children of the " Great Earl of Cork," the phi-
losopher was the only one who never obtained a title.
Fonr of his brothers were peers, and a peerage was often
nrged upon the snbject of our memoir, and as often re-
fused. At the early age of 14 -he became duly impressed
with the supreme importance of reli|pous truth ; and feel-
ing that if religion was any thing, it was every thing, he
aver lived " as in his great Taskmaster's eye." Ha had that

•otiT* seal in Us Savioar's canee, which puts to sbuM
the coldness and spiritual apathy of the great majority of
" those who profess and call themselves Christians." So
great was his reverence for the Supreme Being, that he
never mentioned tiie name of God without making a de-
cided pause in the conversation : Sir Peter Pett, who knew
him for nearly 40 yean, declared himself unable to reeol-
lect an instance to the contrary. Ho wrote a number of
religions works, printed at his own expense tbe Church
Catechism and New Testament in Irish, and 600 copies of
the Fonr Gospels and the Act/ of the Apostles in the
Malay Language, published Pooock's Arabic Translatioa
of Grotius's De YeritaU for circulation in the Levant
and contributed largely to the Society for Propagating tbe
Gospel in New England. When we add to these proofii
of seal the establishment of the Boyle Lecture, " designed
to prove the truth of the Cbristiaa Religion among InS-
dels," we have given snfficient evidence of the existence
of a faith proved by works of the most beneficent cha>
racter.

Whilst at Stalbridge, 1640-50, Boyle was one of a so-
ciety of learned men, termed by him. The Invisible Col-
lege ; this was the germ of The Royij Society, which wai
incorporated in 1663. In 1880 Boyle was elected to the
Presidency, but declined tbe honour. His publication*
were very numerous. His New Experiments, physico-me-
chanical, touching the spring of the. Air and its efiecti^
were pub., Oxford, 1660, 8ro. In a second edit, pub. in

1662, he answered the objections of Linns and Hobbaa.

" If all other defences of religion were lost there Is soUd rea-
soning enough In these volnnias to remove the scmplee of meet
unbeUerers." — Bishop Watsov.

"For much Important matter on the province of reason In jud|p.
Ing of rerelstloii, I would eameatly recommend the thaologleal
writings of the Hon. Mr. Boyle. No man had more thoroughly
oonsldered the extent and limits of tlie human understanding;
none, parings, ever aomUnad more perlbctly the characian of tbft
philosopher and the theologian.'' — Bishop Yah Mmtmr.

We should not omit to mention that Lord Clarendon

nrged Mr. Boyle to enter into holy orders, bnt remember-

j ing that " no man taketh this honour unto himself," and

' not feeling " inwardly moved" to assume " this Ofllea and

I Ministration," he remained in the ranks of the laity. Tat

I religion was ever with him the " primnm mobile :" thus

honouring God, God forgot not his promise, and highly

exalted his servant; for to him was given, in a larger mea-

sure than often pertaineth to the sons of men, nnderstand-

ing, and wisdom, and durable riches. His tried IViend,

Bishop Burnet, chose most appropriately as the text for

The ralae of hia oontributions to the oanM of seienoe,
to the prorinoe of Katural Philoaophy especially, cannot
be too highly esteemed. More than two-thirds of his
works an composed of the resalts of his investigations
in Pnenmaties, Chemistry, Medicine, and kindred snb-

■ome of Boyle's experiments, communicated to the Royal
Society, pub. in Phil. Trans., 1676.

faae." — OmKbigltam'l Biaf. Hultny.

Bat Boyle and his associates inherited the indaetiTe
system which Baeon had left as a legacy to the world, and
to what a noble end did they apply their patrimony !

(vide Worthies of Devon) to have been a native of Devon-

took the degree of LL.D. In ancient records bi. name i.
written in varioo. way.; a* Braeton, Bratton, Breton,

who adduces those names, confound. Braoton with John
Breton. In 1244 King Hinry III. made him one of th«

wa« printed in 4to, after an examination of many H6S^
It has, however, been alleged that soms of the most oor-
reot MSB. were overlooked. On* of the bast U68. of his
valuable works waa burnt OoL 23, 1781, by a flro which
Mriouriy damaged the' Cotton Library at Ashbambam
HouM. It i. divided into five book., and these into tracU
and chapters.

bnond the KeoenUty of the wilten at theage; being, tbongh
not always poUahad, yet willlrtently eiaar, expreaalre, and nervous.
The exeeUence of Bracton'a style must be attributed to bia ae.
qnaintance with tba writings of the Roman lawyers and canonists,
ftnm whom llkewlae he adopted greater helps than the language
in which be wrote. Many of these pithy sentences whU* have

siue of our aai^leBt JorlsprudeneK Thus was Biaetea deeervedly
looked up to aa the fliet source of legal knowledge, even so low
down as the days of Lord Coke, who aaeme to have made the aa-
thor his guide in all inquiries Into the tmndation of our law."

Our legal xeaders are awan of the fact that M, Houaitl,
the Norman advocate, when he prepared an edition of
Glanville, Fleta, and Brittoa, niuBed.to admit Braeton to
nich good company, on the grsond that his writings had
corrapted the law of Etagtond ! This islike toning an
aged and virtuous PSter familitu out of door, on the
charge of diagracing his offspring ! For an answer to M.
Houard's aaeertioo., we needoidy point to hi. edition of
Littleton— AeetemMs Loix det Frantoit. Bnl we must not
forget that laymen are expected to " occupy the place of
the unlearned" in nich matters. Braoton'. great work can
never be "mled out of court" by any "statute of limita-
tions." To the student of law, to the antiquary, and to
all who feel pleasure in tracing the progressive improvo-
ments of a great acience, its value will ever be oonsidar-
able.

" The law-books of Biacton and Fleta weie tlie andent law of
the land, extending to all cases. These books are so strong, that
there ha. been no meena of evading them but by denying their
authority, and calUag them books of civil hnr, aad I never knew
them denied fcr law except where some statats «ar andeat Mage
has altered them." — ^Loaa Ause.

Bradstreet, Anne, 1613-1672, daughter of Thona*
Dudley, Governor of Massachusetts, was a native of
Northampton, England. At the age of 16 she married
Simon Bradstreet, and aoeompanlad him to America in
1630. Her husband became Qovemor of Massachusetts
la 1680. Among the descendants of Mrs. Bradstreet who

BRA

have risen to distinetion, is RicaAKD H. DA«A,(f . e.,) <iM
well-known American author. The first collection of Mrs.
Bradstreefs poems was pnb. in 1646, under the title of
Several Poems, compiled with great variety of Wit and
Learning, ftell of delight; wherein especially is eontained
a eompleat Discourse and Description of the Four Ele-
ments, Constitntions, Ages of Man, and Seasons of ths
Year, together with an exact Epitome of the Three Fint
Monarchies, vis.: The Asityrian, Persian, and Grecian;
and the be^nning of the Roman Commonwealth to the
end x>f their last Sing, with direni other Pleasant and
Serious Poems: by a Gentlewoman of New England.
This voL was reprinted in London with the " Tenth Mnse,
lately sprung up in America," prefixed to the title. A
second American edition, from the press of John Foatai^
Boston, in 1678 :

"Corrected by the author, and enlarged to the addition of
ssverol other poems Ibnnd among Iwr papers afur her death."

Mrs. Bradstreefs poems bear evidence of an intimate
acquaintance with, and great admiration of^ " Great Bartas*
sugared lines." Sylvester's trans, of the Divine Weeks of
Du Bartas had introduced this poet to a large circle of
English admirers.

Mrs. Bradstreet thus expresses her admiration of tha
Soldier-Poet :

** But when my wandering eyes and eavkms heart
Graat Bartao* sn^ued lines do but read o'er,
?ooll I do grudge the mnsss did not part

Twixt him and me their over-fluent store.
A Bartas can do what a Bartas will —
Bat simple I, aooording to my skiil."

Nathaniel Ward, the author of The Simple Cobbler of
Agawam, would have us to understand that, whatever
might be Mrs. Bradstreefs opinion in the premises, yet
Apollo was not by any means satisfied of ths unquestion-
able precedence of Du Bartas:

** Mercury showed Apollo BartoS* book,
Hfnerra this, and wlnhed htm well to look
And toll uprightly which did wfaieh excel,
He viewed and viewed and vowed ike eonld not teD."

Bee Qrlawold's Female PaeU of Amsilca.

More distinguished authorities than Ward vied in eels-
hrating Mrs. Bradstreefs poetical effusions.
Dr. Cotton Mather considered her works to be
" A monument to her memoty, beyond tbs stateHsst msiUa.".—
MaffnttUa.

" Your only hand those poesies did compose ;
Tour head the source whence all these springs AM flow."

John Norton describes this
" pserlsss gentlewoman, the mirror of her age and glory of her ssoc:
«' Praise her who list, vet be shall be a debtor,

tac art ne'er feigned, nor nature formed, a better.' "
" These praises run Into hyperbole, and prove, perhaps, that
thetr anthorsHrere more gallant than critlod; but we perceive
fiom Mrs. Bradstreefs poems that they are not destitnte of iinlgi.
nation, and that she was thoroughly Instructed in tlie best learn-
ing of the sge." — R. W. Oeiswolo.

In the height of enthusiasm, good John Norton goes so
far as to declare, that if Virgil eonld hear her works, h«
would oondemn his own to the flames. As the Mantaan
Bard is not likely to be gratified by hearing Mrs. Brad-
streefs effusions, it is idle to disonsa the position assumed
by Norton, and argue whether Virgil would or would not
be capable of such an act of philanthropic abnegation, or
ebullition of disappointed rivalry, as the combustion of
bis verses would display to the eyes of an astonished and
mourning world. Miserable as Virgil's eShsions may be,
when compared with the veraes of Mrs. Bradstreet, yet
somehow we have beoome aoenstomed to him, and eonld
better spare a better poet, — even the Cuned " Tenth Muse"
herself.

Jawa, MMmbl«d in the PUin of Ageds, in Hungary, abont
tbirty leagues distant ihiin Buda, to examine the Scriptures
coneeming Christ, on the Twelfth of October, 1850. By
Samuel Brett, there presenL

" At the PUee abore named, there asaembled abont three hun-
dred Rabbiea, called together from several Parts of the World to
examine the Seriptttras concerning Christ. . . . The King of Hon-
gaiy did allow that some Assistants should be sent ftrnn Rome ;
and their Comlug thither did prore a great unhapplness to this
bopefttl Council."'

On the seventh day of the Council, they called in to their
aid six of the Roman Clergy, "sent by the Pope to assist
in this Council." The instructions of the priests were not
at all relished by the Jews, for

« As soon ss the Assembly had heard these Things from tbam,
ther were generally and exceedingly troubled theraat and fell into
high Clamonrs s^nst them and their Religion, crying out. No
Christ, no Woman-^lod, no Intercession of Saints, no norahipplng
of Images, no Praying to the Virgin Mary, Ac Truly their Trou-
ble bereat was so great, that It troubled me to see their Impatience;
they rent their deaths and cast Dust upon their Ueeds, and cried
out, Blsspbemy, Blasphemy I and, upon this, the Council broke
Up. ... I do belieTo there were many Jews there, that would have
been persuaded to own the Lord Jesus; and this I assure you tac
a Truth, and It is for tlie Honour of onr Religion, and tlie Eneon-
ragemont of our Dlrlnes, one eminent Rabbi there did deltrer his
Opinion, in Conference with me, tiiat he at first feered tiiat tboee
wnieh were sent from Rome would cause an unhappy Period to
their Council; and proftssed to me, that he much desued the Pre-
ienoe of some Protabawt Dlvlnee, and especially of onr BHglUh V\-
Ttnes, of whom he had a better Opinion than of any other MTines
In the World."

similariy honoured by the Royal Academies of Russia,
Pmssia, Sweden, and Denmark. In 1831 he received the

" Sir David Brewster's nninerous writings take in a wide

Kblished in tlie 'Transactions' of the Royal Societies of

primary colours, forming coincident spectra of equal length.
3. On Circular Polarisation. 3. On the Effects of Com-
pression and Dilatation in altering the polariiihg stractnre
of the doubly teiVaoting eiystals; and others, in which
the law ir'detannined whieh connects the refractive index
of a crystal with its angle of polarisation, and the dis-
oonry of rings in biaxial etystals is made known. Other
papers are to lie found in the Edinburgh Bev., the Report*

The Lives of Oalileo, Tycho Brah6, and Kepler, tha

of scienoe, in noticing one of Sir David's last worka, paid
the following handaome -tribute to the venerable anther:

** The sale of a wdk is naually no bad test of the interest which
attaches to the suhject of It; and we accept it as good In uvidence,
that the question respecting the * plnrallty of worlds,' so ingeni-
oualy diaenaaed by Sir David Brewster and hia anonymous anta;;o.
nist Is one which sueceeaftilly addresses Itself to at loest the cario-
sity of the reading portion of the remmnnl^, that Sir Darid's
More Worlds than One, though not yet six moDtiis lieibni the
public, la already In what is more than tantamount to Its third
edition. The sale of the third thouaand of hla sspante Treatise
is, we ara infbrmed. Ihst progressing; and his article on the asine
snbieet In the North Briilsh Review, wliieh fi>tmed the pregnant
nnclaos of the work. Is understood to have enjpyed at least an
equal circulation. Tllera does certainly exist a wide-spraad deshe
to know, 80 Ihr as can be known, the extent of God s living, re-
spoQslble creation. The planet which we inhabit is but one vessel
In the midst of a fleet sailing on through the vast ocean of space,
nnder convoy of the sun. Far on the distant horlson what seem
to be a great many other convoy ships appear, though such is titeir
remoteness, that even our best glasses enable na to know very little
regarding them. But In the vessels of the same group as ourselves,
we see evolutions similar to those which our own ship performs —
we see them maintain relations similar to our own to the great
guardian veaasl In the midst— we see them regulated by lier fii ell
their movements, and that when nights IhU dark, most of them
have their seta of lanthoms hoisted up to give them light ; and
there Is a desire among us to know somewhat respecting the crews
of these ndghbour-veseels of ours, and whether — as we all seem
bound <m a common voyage — the expedition, as K is evidently
under one and the same control, maynot haveaoommon puraoae
or oUeet to accomplish. Such is the natural, and surely not irrfr
tlonal, curloelty that has led in part to the exteusive circulation of
tlw two recently publiahad worsa which dlacuaa the question on
Ita oppoaite eldea ; though In perhaps equal part, however, their
popularity must be owing to tlM admirable manner In which they
are wrttten, and the high sdeathle aeqniremenia of their raqiectlve
authors. It ia not every day that oombatanta such as Sir David
Brewster, and, shall we say, Prolbsaor Wbewell, meet In the arenik
There is a pleoalng peculiarity In the writings of our gnat oouo-
tryman, which our raaders must have often remarked.

" We referred on a recent occasion to the remark of Sir Jaases
Mackintosh, that * the memorable Instanoea of Cicero and Milton,
and stfll more those of Dryden and Burke, esem to show that thera
is some natural tendency in the fire of genius to bwra more brightly
or to blaze more fiercely In the evening than In the morning of
human life.' We can, however, regard none of these Instazues,
nor yet tliat of Dugald Stewart wlilch Sir James also adduces, as

anally striking irtth the one furnished by the literary history of
r David. T& poet who produced, while yet a boy, tha Hymn
of the Nativity, did not leave himself much room for fatura ha-
provement, In at least poetic fteling and conception ; and In the
earlier writings of Diyden and Burke, we find no ennirocal pro-
mice of what waa allOTWanla to be aeeom|^Mied In the Ode to St.
CedUa's Day, and the Relleetiona on the Vrench Bevolntlon. Ia
the earlier compositions of Sir David, on the other hand — always
severe in style, and sternly selentlfle In Ibrm — there Is compaia-
tively little indication of that rich flow of fltney and imagination,
and that fertility of happy Olustratlon, which his later writings
exhibit As In the Ihr weat his year of life enjoys an ' Indian
summer' greatly richer and more gorgeous in its scenery than any
of the seasons that luve gone b^re. There Is scsnetfalng inex-
pressibly pleasing In exhIUtlons of this kind. A vigorous and
stQl youtnftll mmd lodged in a material framework which has
served Its purposes during the ordinary term of life, and drives evi.
dfiOice that, though age preaaea upon It but lightly, bis touch la
there, Is of Itself an argument for the immortality of the better
part Were soul and body to perish together, they would surely
exhibit traces of the same decay. Further, too, It Js a singulariy
agreeable sight as lllustrstlve of that bappieat condition of ad-
vanced life, which the Psalmist could describe as peculiarly the
gift of God to his own. In tAi age, when others ftiled and ihdad,
the righteous man was atOI to bring forth fruit and blossom, as in
his tneh and vigorous years. There was to be sap and &taess in
his unslirivelled trunk, and green leaves and bright flowen on all
hla boogha."— BoeH Hjuxa: BUnlmrgh WOnsss.

pointed him a Prebendary of Durham in 178*, and in
ITSl the Duke of Bridgewater presented him to the rectory
of Middle in Shropshire, and in 1797 to that of Whit-
ehnreh in the same county. La 1823 he succeeded hie
brother in his titles. For many years before his death he
resided entirely at Paris. In 1796 he pub. in 4to an edit
of the Hippolytns of Euripides. He also edited A Frag-
ment of an Ode of Sappho from Loagtnns, and an Ode of
Sappho fW>m Dionysius Halieam., in 8vo. In 1793 he
prepared for the Biograpbia Britannica a Life of Lord
Chaaeallor Egerton, (see voL v.) 250 copies of this Me-
moir, considerably enlarged, were privately printed by
bim in 1798. This enlarged memoir, and a life of the
Bishop of Durham, were intended by the publishers, at
tho author's request, for the 6th vol. of the Biog. Brit.
Bis lordsbip pub. several other pieces : see Memoir in
Oent Mag. He left his collections of MSS. and antiqui-
ties, and a sum of money, to the Brit Museum. The eari
had been deeply impressed with the value of well-digested
argoBentalive treatises upon the subject of man's relatioM
to his Maker. Be himself drew up a work upon the sub-
ject, which was privately printed at Paris, by Didot. By
hii last Will and Testament he bequeathed the sum of

Bia

' sight thousand pounds sterling to be paid to the peneo or
persons who should be appointed by the President of th«
Royal Society to prepare a work
" On tha Power. Wisdom, and Ooodneaa of Ood, aa nunHkatad

f in the Creation, fllustratlng such work by all raaaooabla argn-
ments ; as, ft>r Instance, tha variuty and fbraiatloD of Ood's en»

hand of man, and an inflirite variety of other argomeDts; as alao

, by diseoTories, andunt and modern, ki arta, sdencas, and In tiM
whole extent of literature.'*

I One thousand copies were to be printed, and the proflts

I were to be paid to the author or authors selected for this

' important duty. The following gentlemen were hononfod
by the appointment, it being detemined to publish eight
separate essays :

I 1. The Rev. Thomas Chalmers, D.D., Professor of Di-
vinity in the University of Edinburgh, On the Power,
Wisdom, and Goodness of Ood as manifested in the Adap-
tation of External Nature to the Moral and Intelleetnal
Constitution of Man. (3 vols. 8vo; <th edit, 1840.)

2. John Kidd, M.D., F.R.S., Regius Professor of Medi.
cine in the University of Oxford, On the Adaptation i^
External Nature to the Physical Condition of Man. (8ro:
5th edit, 1837.)

3. The Rev. William Whewell, M.A., F.R.S., Fellow of
Trinity College, Cambridge, Aatrooomy and. General Phy.
sics considered with reference to Natural Theology. (8to i
7th edit, 1839.)

4. SirCharlesBell,K.G.H.,F.R.8., L. AE., TheHandi
its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as evincing Design.
(8ro; 4th edit., 1837.)

5. Peter MaA Roget, M.D., Fellow and Secretary of
the Royal Society, 'On Aninutl and Vegetable Physiology,
considered with refennee to Natural Theology. (2 vols.
8vo ; 3d edit, 1840.)

6. The Rev. William Bucklaod, D.D., F.R.S., Canon of
Christ Church, and Professor of Geology in the University
of Oxford, On Geology and Mineralogy. (2 vols. 8voi
ad edit, 1837.)

7. The Rev. William Kirhy, M.A., F.B.8., On the His-
tory. Habits, and Instincta of Aniinals. (2 vols. 8vo ; 2d
edit, 1835.)

8. William Front, M.D., r.B.8., Chemistry, Hetaorologjr,
and the Function of Digestion, considered with referenos
to Natural Theology. (8vo; 3d edit., 1845.)

In all, 12 volumes. The names of the above writers ai«
a sufficient guarantee of the value of their respective es-
says. Great fault has been found vrith the manner ia
which the trust has been discharged: ,

"Snoh a beqneat is without mrallel In the hiatoiy of onr litem-
tnra, bat unlbrtunataly, tha inteoHon of the ainnlflcent noble,
man has been abaolalaly perverted. Instaadof one dbtinet' work
on Katnnl Theology, wihich would have bean tanatelad Into
every written lanrpsage, and which would have formed a mora
than Europaan momnaent to the TIboralttj and piety of our eono-
,' eight Independent treatleaa have appeared, and to then

the &voured publlaber haa afflxed auch exorbitant nrieas as to

{irevant the laaa wealthy claaaes of sodety fhaa beneflting br Us
ordahlp'a generosity ."

So argues an indignant olyaotor. Perhaps much might
be said on the other side, but as we have no space for dia>
cussion, wo will only refer the reader to the Edinburgh
Beriew, Lon. Quarterly Review, Westminster Review,
Fraser's Magaiine, the Athenseum, Ae. A new ed. of the

Charies Babbage, was pub. 1837.

Bridgewater, John, d. about 1600, who in his writ-
ings calls himself Aqua Pontanus, was entered of Hart
Hull, Oxford, and there removed to Biasenose College.
He was chosen Rector of Lincoln College in 1 563, Arch-
deacon of Rochester, 1570. Becoming favourable to Ro-
manism, he resigned his prefermenta, and sought a home
in the coliego for English Roman Catholics at Douay. He

Bronte, Charlotte, (Mrs. Nicholls,) bom 1824,
daughter of Rev. Patrick Brontt, curate of Haworth, in
Yorkshire; married Rev. Arthor Bell Nicholls, her tether's
curate, in 1854, and died in 1855. She and her two sisters
have become widely known to fame under the assomed
names of Currer, Acton, and Ellis BelL

" Averse to personal publicity, we vedlod our names under those
of Currer, Acton, and IsUla Boll,— the ambiguous cbuloe being dlo*
tated by a sort of conacleotlous acruple st assuming Cfarlstiaa
names podtirely msscttllne, while we did not like to declare our-
selves women, because — without at that time auspectlDg that oar
mode of writing and thinking was not what Is called •famlnla^
— we had a voKue Impression that authoresses are likely to be
looked on with pi*^adlce; we had noticed how critics sometimes
use far their chastisement the weapon of personality, and for their
reward a flattery which la not true praise." — Biografkioai twiiot
ty Cwmr BM, i^ CharlaOe JtroM.

Anne (Acton Bell) died in 1848. EmUy (Ellis BeU)
died 1849. Charlotte was mora auoceasfiil as an authoress
than her sisters. Few novels have gained such immediate
popularity as was accorded to Jane Eyre. tV e append some
notices of several of the works of the literary sisterhood.

Jane Eyra: an Autobiography, Lon., 1848, 3 vols. p. Sto,
by Currer Bell, [Charlotte Bront<.]

" Almost all that we require In a novelist the writer has,— per-
oeptk» of character and knowledge of dellnsatlug It, pieturesqufr
aesa, passion, and knowledge of life. RsaUty— deep, significant
raalit}-— Is the characteristic of this book." — rnua'$ Magatim.

'■ The popularity of Jans iiyrs was doubtless das in part to the
Cksshness, mdness, and vigomr of mind it evlnosd; but It was ob*
talned not ao much by tluae qualities ss by flrsqiMBt deaUngi la
moral paradox and by the hardlfaood of Its sssanlts npon the pre.
Judiesa of proper people."— E. P. Wbippls : If. Awur. Bet, IxviLUT.

■* A work of Tory great talent." — Zen. Bamimtr,

" As the characters of the tale are unattractive, ao the chief l»
cldents are aully wanting In probability. They are devoid of truth*
fnlneas, ore not In harmony with the actual world, and have, these,
fore, but little more power to more our sympathies than the ro-
mances of the Uiddle Ages, or the ghoststories which mads vat
grand-damea tremble." — Lon. Bcteohe Jtmem.

•• The Tenant of WildMd Hall is altogether a less pleasant story

Broome, William, d. 1745, a native of Cheshire,

He was for some timo rector in Sturston, in SulTolk. In
conjunction with Osell and Oldisworth, he translated tha
Uiad into prose :

"This la the trsndaflon of which Osell boasted as superior. In
Toland's opinion, to that of Pope: It has low aloce vanished, and
la now In no danger tttmt tha critics."— Da. Jomtson.

Pope engaged Fanton and Broome to aid him in the
translation of tha Odyssey, and to the share of the latter
fall the 2d, 6th, 8th, Ilth, 12th, 16th, 18th, and 23d books,
together with all the notes. To Fenton's lot fell the 1st,
4th, 19th, and 20th. The other 12 books Pope translated
himself. The associates did their work well :

"The readers of poetry have never been able to distinguish
their books fmm those of Pope."

Broome did not consider himself liberally treated by
Popo. It was said, that whilst Fenton received £300 for
four books, Broome had but about £500 for eight books.
The disappointed labourer charged his master with avarice ;
and Pope, with that petty spite which was his atrongest
characteristic, abased Broome in the Dunciad, and in the
Bathos, Broome's Poems on several Occasions were pub.,
Lon., 1727, 8vo. In the Gent Mag., nnder the signature
of Chester, will be found some of his translations from

and the Unirersity of his native city. He soon became
distinguished for the seal and success with which he pur-
sued his mathematical studies. After leaving the Univer-
sity, he travelled for some time on the Continent, and on
his return practised at the Bar in the city of Edinburgh
until 1807, when he removed to London and was called
to the Bar by the society of Lincoln's Inn. Three years
afterwards he entered Parliament for the borough of Ca-
melford and attached himself to the Whig opposition.
In 1818 he represented the borough of Wincbclsea. In
1 820 occurred an event which was the means of placing
Mr. Brougham in that commanding position before the

Snblic which he has ever since occupied. Caroline of
Brunswick was arraigned before the Ilouse of Lords as a
criminal, and Brougham was retained as her advocate.
The great talents of the orator were employed in a cause
calculated to elicit their noblest efforts, and, with a nation
warmly enlisted in favour of his client, it is no marvel that
he became the "popular idol." In 1830 he came in as
Lord-Chancellor with Earl Grey, and retained his office
about four years. Since that period the political life of
bis lordship is well known, and, indeed, hardly enters
within the scope of our volume. Lord Brougham has been
an eminent benefactor to the cause of literature and men-
tal progress. In conjunction with Jeffrey, Murray, and
Sydney Smith, he established in 1802 that most valuable
periodical. The Edinburgh Review, and contributed many
of the best articles in its pages. In 1821 he took a pro-
minent part in the movement originated by Dr. Birkbeck
for naturalizing the Mechanics' Institutes in England. Of
the Society for the Diffusion of Useftil Knowledge he was
the principal founder, and is author of several ot the trea-
tises in the series, and of a number of the articles in its
Penny Magazine. When only seventeen, ho contributed to
the Trans, of Roy. Soc. a paper on the Refraction and
Reflection of Light In the following year, 1797, he con-
tributed another paper on the same subject, and, in 1798, a
Sapor entitled General Theorems, chiefly Porisms in the
[igher Geometry. In 1803 he pnb. at Edinburgh his first
work, in 2 vols. Svo : The Colonial Policy af>lhe European
Powers. The greater part of this work relates to Ame-
riea, and gives a review of the policy of the Spanish,

BroagbtOB, Hugh, 1549-I8I2, celebrated for his pro-
leiency in Hebrew and rabbinical learning, was a native
of Oldbuty, in the county of Salop. The celebrated Ber-
nard Gilpin met a poor boy travelling on the Oxford road.
He was surprised at his scholarship, had him instructed
ia his Houghton school, and in due time sent him to Cam-
bridge, where he became Fellow of Christ College, This
was the far-famed Hugh Bronghton. Leaving college,
and eatabliahed in London as a preacher, he aoon became
noted. He etill pursued hia studies with such diligence
BS &«quently to spend 18 hours out of the 24 at his books.
We notice his principal works; A Concent of Scriptures,
1588. This work occupied the author several years; there-
for* he called it his little book of great pains. It treats
of Scripture chronology and genealogy. It contains rpe-
eimens fay yf. Rogers of the earlieat copperplate engrav-
ing in England. Reprinted, 1620. See notice of a copy
on vellum in Dibdin'a Bibliomania, and in Lowndea'a Bib.

Albioneaa Divine, renowned in many nations for rare skill
in Salem's and Athen's Tongues, and familiar acquaint-
ance with all Rabbinical learning, Mr, Hugh Bronghton.
The eulogy of the editor is most enthuaiaatic, and it is the
praise of a master in Israel. Bronghton, who played with
fireek and Hebrew as a poet toys with the most familiar
ihymes, trans, the Prophetical writings into Oreek, and
Hm Apo^ypse into Hebrew, Ho was anxiona to trana-
late the whole of the N. Testament into Hebrew, believ-
ing that it would have forwarded the conversion of the
Jawa. Ho relates that a learned labbi with whom he con-
, once said to him

" Ob that yon would set over all your New Testamen t Into such
lleUeir as you speak to mo I you should tarn all nnr nation,**

It oannot be said that Brougbton enjoyed a tranqnil life;
bat Mr, Whitaker thinks his troubles were self-imposed :

** He was a writer of great ambition, vanity, and dogmatism,
and as snefa wis ridlcnlol more than once on the stage by Ben
It was bis misfurtnoe to offend both the High Ctiurch

and the OslTinlst partj ; but It must be confeiiscd that oil the evils
f^ wlilcb he oomplainied were bronght on hhnself.** — Kxv. J. W,
WniTAKKa.

Doubtless Mr, William Oilpin's unfavourable character
•four author, in the Life of Bernard Qilpin, has led many
to coincide with Mr. Wbi taker's opinion: but Dr. Light-
foot's estimate is very dilTerent; and it has been well said

" Tilghtfimt lived nearsr the time of Broughion than that gen-
tleman ; be hod hia laformatloB oonoemlng him fhom thoee whc
were peraonaUy known to him ; and most, thsiefcie. be nrssnnad
to have had better opportunities of being aeqnalnted wltn bis real
ebaiacter," — Bioff, BrU.

As to Ben Jonson's ridiculing him in his plays, that
proves nothing more than that Bronghton was extensively
known, and hod some pecuUariUes which made him a good
subject for "Rare Ben," We need not remind the classi-
cal reader that some of the greatest sages of antiquity
were impressed into the service of the drama against their
own will, Br. Lightfoot remarks,

'*8omo by the mere pxdtatioa of his books have set to the study
of tliA Hebrew tongue sod come to a rerjr great mMwurr of know*
ledge in it ; nay, a v)oman might bt named thai hath dont tt,"—

Brown, Charles Brockden, 1771-1810, a native of
Philadelphia, descended from ancestors who emigrated to
Pennsylvania in the same ship which carried William Penn
to his new colony, earned considerable distinction by the
authorship of a number of novels of the Radcliffe or Godwin
school. Wieland, or The Transformation, was pnb. in 1798;
fai Lon., 1811. Ormond, or The Secret Witness, appeared
in 1799; in Lon., 1811. This novel was not so successfhl
•a its predecessor. Arthur Mervyn, his next production,
gives a graphic picture of the ravages of the yellow fever
in Philadelphia. It was rcpub. in London in 1803. This
was followed by Edgar Uuntly, or The Memoirs of a Sleep-
walker, 1801 ; repub. in Loudon in 1804. In this work
the author has incorporated portions of his flrsf and un-
published novel, — Sky-Walk, or The Mao Unknown to
Himself. Clara Howard appeared in 1801, (repub. in Lon-
don in 1806 under the title of Philip Stanley,) and Jane
Talbot in the same year. The last two are eonsiderod
much inferior to his earlier productions. An unfinished
novel— Memoir of Carwin, the Biloquist, (the germ of
Wieland,) — will be found in Dunlap's Life and Selections
from the Works of Brown, 1815, vol. iL 200-201. Mr.
Brown pub. (1803-09) a number of political pamphlet*,
prepared with more care than is usually given to produc-
tions of an ephemeral character, and contributed many
articles to The Columbus Magasine, The Weekly Magazine,
Ac. In 1799 he oommenced the publication of The Monthly
Uagaiine and American Review, which lived about a year
only. In 1803 he made another attempt to establish a
periodical, and The Literary Magaxine and American Re-
gister— to which h« was the principal contributor — was
sustained for Bve years, (8 vols. 8vo.) The American Re-
g:ister — another project of his, commenced in 1807 — was
pub. in semi-annual volumes (7 in all) until his death in
1810. He made a translation of his IViend Volney's Travels
In the United States, 1804; wrote a Memoir of the R«t.

Dr. John Blair Linn, (whose sister he married hi 1804,)
prefixed to Valerian, 1805 ; pub. Memoirs of Stephen Cal-
vert; and edited, with Life, C. H. Wilson's Beantisi e(
Tom Brown, Lon., 1810, 12mo.

That Mr. Brown possessed a mind of remarkably invas-
tive powers, and ei^oyed an uncommon facility of graphie
composition, no one perhaps will deny who has read the
most indifferent of his novels. His faults are equally eoD-
spicuous, and among these has been reckoned an exbava-
gant departare fVom the realities of every-day life; hot
from this charge Dr. Oriswold relieTea him :

** It has been said that be ontraf^ the laws of art by gTOM Im.
probabHlties and ineonfdiitencleB, but the most Incredible of hU in-
cidenta had par&tlelH In true htRtory, and the motaphyiical unity
and consisteDcv of his novels are spparect to all readen fcmiliiir
with psycfaolcgioal plienoniena. HU worka generally written with
great rapidity, are inoomplpte. and deflrient In method. He dia
regarded rules and eared little for critirism. Bnt liis ityle was
, clear and nervona with little ornament, free of affeetationa and
indicated a aincular sincerity and depth of feeling." — OrisviUs
Pnt&WriUnef Amerioai g.r.ibran intereating review ef Brown's
Uteiary laboura.

I For some years sft«r his death, his novels seem to hart
been almostforgotten. Mr. Verplanck complained in 1819,
I ** He is very ihr irom being a popular writer. There ta notall,
as ikr OS we know, ftM- a second edition of any of liia worka H« la
rarely spoken of but by those who have an habitual curioclty aboat
every thing literary, and a becoming pride In all good writing
which appears amongst ourselves. They bave not met with the
usual Hucceas of leaders in matters of taste, since, with all tbvir
admiration, they have not been able to extend hia eelehrity mvcll

Eight years after the almve was written, an edition of
the novels appeared in Boston, in 7 vols. It is well known
that Oodwin, the Sir Hildebrand Horrible of the Bnglish
novelists, warmly admired Brown, and acknowledged hit
obligations to him. Brown in his tara admired, and ap-
pears to have imitated, portions of Caleb Williama

" Ills talent for stirring the exneetatlon of the raadw, and ke^
Ing hia anxiety alive from first to last, throughout some haanic^ua
encounter, or mysterious event, can scarr«ly be parallalad in tlie
history of Action. , . . Upon the whole, tliia author may beron-
sidered as one of the beet writers of romantic narratlre (we gira
up character) that the preeent age has prod need. There ia scarerty
any one. Indeed, who Is so eloquent as he oftentimes la; and nrt
one who can excite such breathless apprehension, or so snbliaac a
solitary Ihct. The only Incidents that can be cmnpared to Brown
are, — the aoene under the cliffs In the Aatiquaryiandtiiat between
the two ladies and Uie panthers la the Pioneers."^ Vol. ix. SU.IS'ii.

tingnished himaelf by his proficioni-y in the Greek and
Latin claasica. He lectured on medicine at Edinburgh,
and had his theory of medicine and practice of life been
better, nothing could have prevented his attaining to great

and diasnaded him fh>m seeking a professorship in one of
the colleges of America, which was Brown's favourite
nheme. Unfortonately, variance succeeded to friendship.
A new odit. of Dr. Brown's works was pub. in 1804, Lon.,
S vols, 8vo, by Dr. William Cullen Brown. Mr. Pettigrew
proves Brown to have been a better man than the popular
estimate of his eharacter would indicate. The llrunonian
theory has bean thus summed up, — imperfectly, no doubt :

" All general or unlTersal diseases were reduced to two great
mmlliea or classes,— tbe sthenic and tbe asthenic ,- tbe former ds-
poidlng upon eioeas, the Utter upon defldeocy, of exciting power.
The former were to be resnoved by debilitating, the Utter ^ stl-
mnUnt, medicines, of which the most valuable and nowsrltal ai«
teandy and opium."

The eontroven7, pro and eon., was carried on with great
•rdoor. So keen became the wordy war at the Royal
Medical Soaiaty that a number of duels were fought, and a
Uw was passed that no ibtnre references should be had to
the hostile field. Nor was the war conflned to tbe place
of ita birth. Franee, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Russia
took np the cudgels ; and in Germany the oombat waxed
•0 lierce that the mililaiy wore oblig»d to take possession
of the University of Oilttingen to quell the Bmnoniana

England to aohool at the age of aeven, and returned t*
Scotland when fourteen. At Edinburgh he applied him-
self to bis studies with great diligence and saoeess. In

it for medicine, in which he took a doctor's diploma in
1803. In 1808 he entered into eopartnatahip with tb«
celebrated Dr. Gregory. Dugald Stewart^ beiag indis-
posed in tbe winter of 1808-09, engaged Dr. Brown to
read lectures for him in the Moral Philosophy Claaa.
Brown's success was most decided. He satisliod bath
himself and his bearers that he bad foaad his propw

Dr. Johnson sUtM that he had heard Browne s book
highly eommended by a learned traveller, who had visited
many plaoes after him ; upon which the doctor remarks,

raltaTl cannot ncommcnd It as likely to give much pleasure to

Dr. Johnaon expreaaas a regret, in which we oaa all
sympathise, that Sir Thomas Browne has left us no ac-
count of his travels.

Dr. Browne, like hia celebmtcd ihther, was distingnishcd
for scholarship :

" He was acqiulnted with Hebrew, was a critic In Orsek, and no
man of bis age wrote better lAtln. German, Italian, French, Ac,
he spoke and wrote with as much ease as his mother tongue
Physic was his business, and to the promotion thereof all his oUier
acquisitions were referred. King Charles said of him that ' be wal

Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, vras educated at West-
minster school, and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He
settled at Lincoln's Inn about 1727, and applied himself
with great diligence to the stndy of the Law. Ilighmore,
the painter, was hie parUcular trieai, and be addressed to
him his poem on Design and Beauty.

** In tl^ one of the longest of bis poems, he shows an exteb-
slve knowledge of the Platonic phUoaophy; and pursues, throiwh
the whole, the Idea of beauty advanced by that philosophy. By
design Is here meant. In a Uirge and extansivs sense, that power
of genius which enables tha real artist to collect together his scat-
tered Ideas, to range them In proper order, and to foim a regular
plan betire he attempts to exhibit any work In architecture, palntr
Ing. or roeUj.'—Prrftia U> Mm Aeau, pub. <B 1768.

The Pipe of Tobaooo, also written whilst of Lincoln's
Inn, is an excellent imitation of Cibber, Ambrose Philips,
Thomson, Young, Pope, and Swift, who were then all
living.

"We need not say that the peculiar manner of these several
writers Is admirably hit off by our author, and that he bath shewn
hlmneir to have possessed an excellent Imitative gcniua Indeed,
nothing but a wide spirit of discrimination, and a happy talent
at various composition, could have enabled him to have succeeded
so well ss he hath done In The Pipe of Tobacca"— TWa.

Id 1 754 he pub. his principal work, a Latin poem, enti-
tled De Animl Immortalitate, in two books, 4to. This
Eocm excited great admiration. In a few months trans-
itions into English were pub. by Dr. Richard Grey, Mr.
Hay, John Lettice, and others. A trans, (the best made)
by Soame Jenyns irill bo found in his Miscellanies, Lon.,
1770, Svo. Mr. Browne intended to have added a third
book, but did not complete his design.

"In these three books he purposed to carry natural religion as
fcr as It would go, and In so dolrig, to lay the true foundation of
Christianity, of which be was a firm belie^-er. But be went no
&rther than to leave a flagment of the third book, enough to
make us lament that be did not complete the whole. . . . Not to
mention the useftilness and Importance of the sotteet, every man
of taste mnst (M that the poem Is adsslmble ft>r Ita perspicuity,
precisian, and order; and that it nnllas the phlloeaphlcal learning
and eloquence of Cicero, with the numbers and much of the poe-
try of Lucretius and Virgil."— BiVy. Bnt

" I am bettor pleased, when I consider the nature of the subject,
with that neatness and parity of diction which Is spread over the
whole, than I shonld have been had more poetical ornaments been
bestowed upon M."— Da. Oaaia,«i«»opi!ff<"oo'"- .

lowed, not servilely fanluted, LnereUna andTlrslI; how pers^
enously, as well as eleganUy, you have handled snna of the ab-
struaest arguments, tn.'—UOir lo Browne, fnm As esletratcd

from Boswell'* Johnson :

more than one speech !

Browae, SiBIOBt 1880-1732, a Dissenting minister of
great learning, was a natire of Shepton Mallet, Somenet-
ihira. In 1718 he accepted a call to the pastoral charge
of tb* eongregaUon of Dissenters in Old Jewry, London.
Here he was eagerly listened to by crowded congregations
natU 17t3, when, IVom grief at the loss of his wife and only
■•a, ha beeame deranged on a particular subject, though
Dentally nndiatnrlMd on other matters. Be was firmly
persuaded that the Supreme Being had

•* Annihilatad in lllm the thinking snbstanee, and utterly dl-
^■eted him of eoaadonsneas ; that thonKta he retained the human
she pi. and the fMolty of speaking. In a manner tliat appeared to
othHs latioaal, he had all the while no mors notloa 6i what he
said than a psmt."

He conUnned under this delusion for (he rest of his life.
Be gar* up his clerical charge, and refused to join in any
act of worship, either pablio or prirata. Tet while in this
aad eoodition, be wrote his celebrated answer to Woolston's
Discourse on the Miraelea of our Sariour, and his strictures
■ponTindal'sChristiaai^ as old at the Creation. Ifheimu
erasy, be was at least more dian equal to two infidels ; and so
If oolaton and Tindal found to their cost He also evinced his
mental rigoor by the compilation of Greek and Latin Dio-
tionaries ; though, indeed, he does not seem to bare eonsi-
dared this any eridenoe of intellectual ability : be replied to
a friend who called in, and asked him what he was doing, —

don, Hia fi^er, a highly respeetable merchant, died during
bis Borage, and bis mother was ■sarriad again to Sir Thonus
Dntton. Hia edaeatioB was eomaMnced at WineiMstar,
f^«m whenea, ia 1623, be was sent to Pembroke College^
Oxford, where he waa entered a gentleman commoner. Us
took the degree of M.A., atadied medicine, and oommeneed
praetioe in Oxfordshire. Shortly afterwards he risited tba
Continent, studied at Padua, and was created Doctor of
Physic in the University of Leydea. He returned to Eng-
land aheat 1633, and between this aad 1636 is supposed to
bare written his Religio Medici. In 1638 he settled at
Norwioh, and ia 16S7 he was creatad Doctor of Physic in
the University of Ozfbrd. Four years later he was nnitad
in marriage to a lady of the name of Miloham, of a Nor-
folk family. The wits considered his desertion of a bachelor
Ufa, after bis enrions proposition in the Religio Medid, to
afford a fair handle aigainst him. But Browne let them
faragh'to their content, satisfied with his domestic happiness.
The amiable pair were united for the long term of one-and-
forty years, and saw tan children growing up around them.
He was chosen an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College
of Physicians in 1664, and in 1671 receired the honour of
knigbtbood from CbMles IL Before his death he made
donations for the benefit of Trinity College, Cambridge,
and Christ Choreb, Oxford. We now come to speak of
those works which hare placed him in the first rank of
English authors. The Religio Medici, — The Religion of
a Physician, — his first work, was not designed, the author
states, for publication, A MS. copy floated about for some
time from hand to hand, until it found its way to the
press, without the author's knowledge, in 1642, in which
year two editions were pub. (Lon., 8ra) An edition
was put forth by the author in 1643, and by 1686 it had
passed through ao lem than eight editioDs. The corre-
spondence between Sir Kenelm Digby and the author, rela-
tire to the annotations of the former, need only be alluded
to here. A detailed account will be found in the Biog,
Brit., and some sensible observations on the subject ui
Johnson's Life of Sir Thomas Browne, and in Mr, Simon
Wilkins's Preface in H. G. Bohn's excellent edition, 1852,
3 vols. Mr, Merryweather of Cambridge introduced Ra-
Ugio Medici to the learned of other lands, by a Latin ver-
sion, which was pub. in Holland in 1644, and the same
year in Paris, and In Strasbnrg in 1663, with copious notes
by Hollkenius. The notes of Sir Kenelm Digby will bo
found in the English edition of 1643, and those in the
editions from 1644 are by Thomas Keek of the Temple,
From Menyweather's version it was trans, into Italian,
German, Dutch, and French.

" The Religio Medici was no sooner pnbllshod, than it excited the
attention of the pulillo by the novelty of paradoxes, the dignity
of sentiment, the quick suoeesslan of nnagaa, the mnltltnde ofab-
stmss aUuskaa, the suMUlty of diainkttloB, and the atrangth of
language,"— Da. StuL. Joflssoa.

The famous Guy Patin, ia a letter ttom Paris, April 7,
1646, alludes to the sensation which its publication excited
in thikt polished capital :

« The book eatltled BsUgioMedUlete Ugh crsdH hers. The

It ii certainly talenlatad to indnoe oanUon in an antiior
when he remembers that, for a few carelasa remarks, a sin-
cere Christian, like Browne, has had attributed to him a
character which he would have considered a lasting dis-
grace— that of an unbeliever in Christianity. Balmasins,
Budds9us, Tobiu Wuner, MUlIer, and Reiser, consider
him as donbtfiil, an infidel, or even atheistic, as their views
vary, whilst Beimmannai and Heister warmly vindicate
his orthodoxy. This grave charge of onbelief, or even of
skepticism, is altogether nojustilable. The disreputable
ranks of the enemies of truth are evor on the watch to
stamp their brand of infamy on the brow of those whose
reputation they hope will strengthen their wretched cause.
As Johnson well remarks,

" In proportion as they donbt the truth of their own doctrines,
Omj are deidroos to sain the attastatSou of another nnderstandlng :
and Indostriooaly lajwnr to win a proadjte, and eagerly oateb at
the slightest pretenoe to dignify their sect with a celebrated name."

. Johnson sums up the ease as respects Sir Thomas in his
own masterly style :

** The opinions of every man must be learned fttm himself:
eoncemlng his practice, It is aafest to trust the evidence of others.
When these testlmonlei concur, no higher degree of historical oer^
talnty can be obtained; and Ui^apparantly concur to prove, that
Browne was a soalons adherent to the Iklth of Christ, that he lived
in obedleooe to his laws, and died in oonfidenoe of his mercy."

In 18M Browne pub. his Psaudodozia Epidemiea, or
Enquiries into very many received Tenets, and commonly
presumed Truths, (sm. folio ;) 2d edit>, enlarged and cor-
rected, 1650, foL; again in IDAS, fol.; and in 1689, '72,
4to ; Cth edlL, with imprOvnaeDts, 1673 ; in French, Paris,

although it waa critieixed by Alexander Ross, (who as
Medicns Hedieatos had attacked Religio Medici,) at Aroana
Miorooosmi, and by Robinson in his Eudoxa, or a Calm
Ventilation, Ac.

"It U ladaed to be widud, that k bad longer deiajed tbennb-
Ikatlon, and added what the remslDlog part of his life might have
famished : the tblrty^lx yean which he spent afterwards in study
and expt^rlence, would doubtless have made large additions to an
Inquiry into Vulgar Errors." — JoftnKm'l lAff. qf Sir T, B.

" Browne's Inquiry Into Vulgar Knon dlnlays a great deal of
emdltlOD, but scarcely raises a high notion of Browite himself as
aphUoaopber, or of the suite of physlosl knowledge in Itogland.
Tne errors he indicates are such as none but illiterate persons, we
should tbink, wera likely to hold, and I believe that few on the
continent so late as 1646, would have required to have them ex-
ploded with such an ostentation of proof. Who did not know that

But some other learned anthorities estimate this work
very differently ;

"Mo modem author has treated this sul^eet more sooumiely or
copiously. In his first book he learnedly Inquires Into the general
causes of error; and in his suooeeding books be not only discourses
of the mistakes whlcb sre crept Into natural phUosophy, but such
alsoas have corrupted history, theology, mechanic arts, and pby-
skk." — Hoaaor.

" As be excelled In theoretical and practical divinity, so he shone
no lees in philosophy, wherein be emulated Hercules; and under-
taking by his ntud, i^. to clear the sciences ftom error, he fell
nothing short of tlie other's labour in deansliig the Augean stable."
>— KznnAir.

** It is an excellent work, and contains abundance of curious
things." — N'lCiaox.

See SuppleL Memoir by Simon WiUcini, prefixed to H.
6. Bohn's edit., 1852, 3 vols.

In 1658 appeared his Uydriotaphia, TTme-Burial, or a
PlscouTse of the Sepulchral Umes lately found in Norfolk.

M From the trivial Incident of the dlsoovery of a few urns at
Walslngham, he undertakes to treat of the fnneral rites of all na-
tions, and has endeavoured to trace these rites to the principles
and feelings which gave rise to them. The extent of reading dls*

(llayed In this single treatise is most astonishlnr, and ths whole is
rradiated with the flashes of a bright and highly poetical genius,
though we are not sure that any regular plan can oe discovered in
the work." — Cimatfi^Aam'f Biog, Hut.^ q, r.

" There Is perhaps noiM of hii works which better exemplify bis
reading or memory. It is scarcelr to be imagined how nuuiy par.
tkulars be has amassed together in a treatise which seems to bare
been occsslonally written ; and Ibr whlcb. therefore, no nuterlids
could have been previously collected." — /oAnson'f Lifi qf T. B.

To this work wa* added the Qarden of Cyrus, or the
Qninennzial Loxenge, ar Net Work Plantation of the An-
cients, artiflalally, natnrally, mystically, considered. In
this work the author searches diligently for any thing ap-
proaching to the form of a qnincnnx, and his ingenuity
diseorert, Coleridge says,

" Quincunxes In heaven above, quincunxes In sartb below, qnli^
ennxea la the mind of man. quincunxes In tones, In optlo nerves,
in roots of trees, in leaves. In every thing."

In lieu of a very learned definition of a quincunx, let
the reader aceept the following aa a pictorial i«pr«aenta-
tioD tlieraof :

»k

Johnson wittily remarks upon Browne's inganniiy in jii-
eovering Quinonnxes, that

" A reader, not watchful against the power of his inftulatt%
would inuiglne Uiat decussation was the great buahieas of the
world, and that nature and art bad no other purpose than to az-
empU^ and imitate a qnlneunx.'

Sir Thomas left a number of treatises, a eolleotion of
which was poblisfaed after his death, by Doctor, aflerwarda
Archbishop, Tenison, (Lon., 1684, 8vo,) and another by
John Uase. Christiaa Morals was pnb. by Dr. ItSnj faa
1716. A notioe of these learned pieces will be found in
Johnson's Life of Browne. It has been remarked that

" Oertalnly never any thing fell ftom hla pen which did not d^-
serve to see the light His very letters were dksertatloas, and
flill of singular learning, though written upon the isost eoasmcsi
subjects."

His collected works wore pnb. in 1686, foL In 183(
Simon Wilkin, F.L.S., Esq., favoured the world with an
edition in 4 vols. 8vo, which has been i«oently (in 1852)
pub. in 3 vols. 8vo, in Henry G. Bohn's excellent Antiqua-
rian Library, which, with his other valuable libraries of
standard works, we commend to the reader's attention. In
Mr. Wilkin's edition of Browne's works will be found, be-
sides other important matter, much bibliographical in-
formation respecting the early impressions of Browne'*
different treatises. Every one who desires to eigoy tha
evidences of a massive grandeur which he little expected
to find in an English author, should hasten to the perusal
of the verba ardentia — the pouiUra verborum — of Browne,
as to a noble intellectual repast We think that too maeh
stress has been laid upon Johnson's alleged imitations of
the style of the learned physician. The lezicognipber
was more indebted to Browne than was the essayist John-
son certainly learned something fh>m Browne, but perhapi
he profited as much by Chamlwrs, and more by Sir William
Temple. In depth and suggestiveness Browne aa much
excels Johnson, as the latter excels the former in fluency
and grace of modnlation. Who ever had to read a sen-
tence of Johnson's twice before he could comprehend it t
Who ever read a page of Browne's without a reinspeetion
of several passages, which had perplexed more than they
had gratified? Yet such intellectual exercise is moat
healthful, and promotes a mental robustness and vigoor
which amply repay the cost at which they are acquired. We
commend to the attention of our readers the following vo-
lume : — Religio Hedici : Its Sequel, Christian Morals. By
Sir Thomas Browne, Kt, M.D. With resemblant Paaaagaa
from Cowper's Task ; and a Verbal Index, post 8vo.

" Tbe public in general, and all readers of pure taste and virtu*
ons feelings in pwtlcnlar. are deeply indebted to the editor Ibr
Dubllshing, for the lint time. Sir T. Browne's admfaable Religio
Hedlcl and Its sequel, CbrisUan Morals, together In one volume;
and also for his caraful eotreetlott of the text la both. The Index
Is rich In good old English words; but tbe great attraction Is tbe
quotation of corresponding passages IVom Cowper's l^ak, which
shew how flilly fanbned the poet was with the elder author." — JJm*
LUerarjf OaKUe.

We conclude with some opinions npon the worin of thit
ornament of knighthood and medicine, — than whom a
greater has not adorned the learning of the one, nor dig-
nified the chivalry of the other.

" Sir Thomas Browne, by his intense earnestness snd vivid so-
lerantty, seems ready to endow the grave Itself with life. He does
not linger In the valley of the shadow of death, but enters within
the poiltals where the regal destroyer keeps bis awfUl state; and
y^ there Is nothing thin, airy, or unsnbataatlal—Bothlng ghostly
or shocking In his works. He navells, with a revenat towh, the
material treasures of the sepulchre : be describes thwee with the
learning of an antiquary ; moiallies on them with the wisdcan of a
pblloeopher; broods over them with ths tendemeas of an enthu-
siast; and associates with thsm sweet congaalal Images, with the
(kncyofapoet He Is the laursat of the king of terrom ; aad saoat
nobly doee he celebrate the eartfaly magnificence of his klncdoas.
He dlscoven consolations not only in tbe hopes of Isamorwltgr,
but In the dusty and sad ornaments at the tomb. Never ntntf
by any other writer was sentiment thus put into dry bonea." — Lorn,
SttnipeeUrt SmitK. 1820, vol. L 89.

" I wonder and admire his entlreness in every subject that la
before htm. He Ibllows It, he never wanders trotu it, and be has
no occasion to wander ; for whatever happens to be tbs subject, ha
metamorphoses all nature Into It. In tbe treatise on some urns
dug up In Norfolk, bow earthy, bow redolent of graves and sepul-
chres is every linet Ton have now daik mould, now a tUgMonev
now a skull, then a bit of mouldered ccffin, a ftngment of an oM
tombstone with aiess In lUi ' Hk Jacet,' a ghost or a wlndlng-aheet,
or the echo of a ftineral pashn wafted on a November wind; and
the gayest thing yon shall meet with shall be a silrer nail or a gilt
■Anno Domini,' nom a perUied coflln-top."— Cbaxus han.

"It Is not on the praises of others, but on his own writings, thai
be is to depend for the esteem of posterity ; of which he will not
easily be deprived while learning shall have any reverence among
men ; for there b no sclenee In which he does not disoover soma
skill; and searoe any kind of knowledge, profene or meretL ab-
struse or elegant whteh he does not apfcar to have cultivated with

With regard to tfa« quMtion, before referred to, as to the
reli^ona opinion! of Sir Thomas, it is to ba obaerred that
all doobl upon that point ahoold be settled by the testi-
nonr of Whitefoot, his intimate friend for forty-one yean :

•'Be AlU; aaaented to the Church of En^and, prefciilng It be-
Ibn any In the verld, as did the learned Grotiua. He attended
the pubiick larTlee ray conatantly, when he was not withheld by

■Irancth to hear or apeak mnch ; the last words whirh I heard
ItoBk Um VBie, bealdes aome expressions of deamena, that ha did
fteely submit to the will of Ood, being without timr."

We doubt not tha^ in that solemn hour vliicb eonrerts
eren thoughtlessness into solemnity, this wise and learned

gbysieian, who liad been all hia lifetime subject to ths
tar, guided by the counsel, and animated by the lore, of
that great Being who trieth the heart of the children of
Ben, and nnderstandeth all their ways, — we doubt not, in
that solemn hour, he could look beyond the "narrow
house appointed for all liTing" — the furniture of which no
other pencil liath so magnificently described — to the " suf-
fteieney of Christian immortality," — to the resurrection of
the joaL Was the English tongue ever put to a grander
Baa than in that noble " conelnsion of the whole matter,"
with whieh be sums up what we may call the requiem of
the King of Tenon himself? —

"But the saHdeney of Christian Immortality Aiutiatea all
earthly 0ory, and the quaUty of either state after death makes a
tMj of posthomona memory. Ood, who ean only destroy our
■onla, and hath assured our resurreetlon. either of our bodies or
aaoMs hath dbectly pr«ilaed no dnniUon. Wherein there Is so
much of chance, that the boldest expectants bare tmnd an nn-

It had been melancholy indeed, if that far-resehing and
eomprefaeDsire mind, whieh knew so mnch of the works
of Ood, had never attained to the knowledge of their Crea-
tor: if that brilliant intoUect, which had shed so bright
a light for the instmetion and edillcatlun of others, had
itself, at last, gone "out in obscure darkness !"

" It a]>]Mars to us, that aufflclent Justice has not, since the era
of Mlltoi^ been paid to Ua talents; for, though It be true, ss Mr.
Headley has observed, that puerilltlee, Ibreed allusions, and con-
celts^ mve fkequently debased his materials, yet are theae amply
atoned Ibr by some of the highest excellenciee of his art; by an
Imagination ardent and fertile, and sometixnee sublime ; by a vivid
peraonlflcatlon of passion ; by a minute and truly fetthful delinea-
tion of rural scenery ; by a peeallar vein ol tenderness which runs
through the whole of bis pastorals, and by a verslflcatlon nncoos-
monly varied and melodious. With these are combined a species
of ronantle extravagance which aometlmea heightens, but more
frequently degrsdes the effect of his pictures. Had he exhibited
greater judgment In the eelectlun of hlB Imagery, and greater sim-
plicity In hb style, his claim on posterity had been valid, had bean
general and undisputed." — DraJi^i Shiuc^iMn and Air Times.

Sir Egerton Brydges pub. some poems of Browne, not
before printed. We regret that we have not space for the
eloquent eulogy of Browne by Thomas Miller, a delightftil
writer of our own day, still living. We must eztraet •
line or two :

" He carrlea with him the true aroma of old fbrests: his lines
are mottled with mosses, snd there Is a gnarled ruggedness upon
the stems of Us treea. His wsters have a wet look and splashing
sound about them, and you feel the freah air play around yon
while you read. His Mrds are the free denisens of the fields, and
they sand their sonn ao Ufe-llke through the covert, that their
music rings upon the ear, and you ara carried awa^ with Ua
* sweet iilplngs.''*

Browne commemorates in ardent strains the poetical
powan of his Mend George Wither :

A natural day to me asems but an hour;
And could I ever hear their learned layi^
Ages would turn to artlllclal days."

Ran Ben Jonson admired Browne greatly :
"I would
More of our writors would, like thee, not swell
With the how mnch they set (brth, but the how well."

A poet who can elicit the warm encomiums of such men
as Selden, Jonson, Drayton, Wither, Davies, and many
others, distingnished for learning or knowledge of the
poet's art — and those men his contemporaries — must needs
have rare merit. To few anthon haa it chanced to ))e so
enthusiastically lauded by one age and so thoroughly neg-
lected by the next. Of poems which were devoured with
raptore, and praised with warmth, a third edition was not
demanded for a centory and a half.

Browne, Sir William, M.D., 18t2-1774, a nattra
of Norfolk, was entered of Peter-bouse, Cambridge, in
1707, where he took the degrees, B.A., 1710; M.A., 1714;
M.D., 1721. He was a fteqnent publisher of small pieces,
principally classical, and always with as thorough an in-
ftision of Latin and Greek as they would possibly bear, for
Sir William was as fond of the " manner of the ancients"
as was his professional brother in Peregrine Pickle. We

BiowBiag, Mr*. Elisabeth Barrett, b. in Lon-

with great care. She gave very early proofs of genius.
At the age of ten she attempted writing both in prose and

her frisDds. Her "Essay on Mind, with other Poems,"
was pobllshed by her at the age of seventeen. The Bera-

oeonpy a high place in Bngliah poetical literature. In
addition to her original works, she has distinguiahod her-
self by a translation into English of the Prometheus Bound
of Achylus, whioh has been styled

*' A ramarkable perlOraaace Cor a young lady, bnt not a good

This version of the Prometheas Bound was pronoaneed

and few writers of the day have more enthnsiaatie ad-

lodged:

^•It Is with real peln that we say, surely never was gold so die-
gnlaed and overlaki with tinsel aa hers, — never was real merit
made to look so like what Carlyle wonld call a ' sham.' She poa-
aeeaes genlna, acultlvated.nilnd, a trntb-lovlng heart, quick powers
of obawratlon, and luxuriaacy of fencv and exprasnon ; but that
luxuriance too often verges — to say the least — on extravagances

We refer the reader to a review of the poems of onr
authoress in Blackwood's Magasine, vol. Ivi. p. 821.

" It Is plain tlut HIa Barrett wonM always write well If As

pure and appropriate langnags, and In forma of constructloD which
will endure the moot rigid scrutiny of common sense snd nnpep-
verted taste."

The faults with which this gifted antbor is Justly charM-
able-— obscurity, strained and affected construotion, andln-
congmous admixtures of the language of .fischylus with
the language of Shakspeare — we hope to see reformed alto-
gether in her future labonrs. One of her reviewers ro-
marks,

Mr. Moir, on« of the fairest of coutamporaiy critics, re-
marks,

"Olfled with a fine and peculiar genius, what Mrs. Browning
might have acfaleved, or may yet achieve, by concenttatloa at
thought and ni)ectlon of unworthy materials. It Is Impossible te

We shall conclude our skatob with a fow liaaa from two
of our writer's own sex :

" Such la the Inaueace of her mannera, her coavermlkm. ber

Bryant, Jacob, 171S-1804, a man of profound learn-
ing, was a natlre of Plymouth, in Devonshiro, and was
educated at Eton, and King's College, Cambridge. He
accepted the post of tutor to the sons of the Dutce of Marl-
borough, and attended his grace during his campaign as
his prirate secretary. The duke gave further evidences
of his esteem by securing to Mr. Bryant an annuity which
be receired until his death, assigning two rooms to his use
at Blenheim, and presenting to him the keys of his cele-
brated library. Mr. Bryant rerelled in these literary stores,
•nd it il worthy of note, that as literature was the great
passion of his life, so its pursuit in one sense may be nid
to hare hastened his death. In stepping on a chair to
naoh a book in his library, his foot slipped, and erasing
his leg, mortiileation ensued, of wbieh oa died. Nor. I^
1804, at the age of 8S. Mr. Bryant was wedded to his
books and learnisd theories, and therefore never took a wife.
His publications were Bamerona: Observations and In-
quiries relating to various Parts of Ancient History, oon-
teining Diaaertatiorfa on the Wind Enroclydon; and on
the Island Melite, together with an Account of Egypt in
Um most early State, and of the Shepherd Kings, Cam-
bridge, 1787, 4to. In Ibis volume Bryant does not hesitate,
though with great modesty, to enter the field against Bo-
ehart, Grotius, Bentley, Cluverius, and Beta. He contends
that Euroolydon is correct, and should not be read Euroa-
quito, and the Island Melite of the last chapter of the Acts
u not Malta. His arguments are considered convincing.

His next and most important work, and theoneby wUah
posterity will daoide upon his merits, was A New System,
or Analysis of Ancient Mythology ; wherein an attempt is
made to divest TiadiUon of Fable, and to reduce Truth to
its original Purity, Lon., 1774-76, S vols. 4tOw

Mr. Bryant's olueot in this work was to prove th« tnth
of the Scriptures, by tracing the earliest history ht man-
kind, as related in the Bible, through the traditional remains
of all nations. Arguing upon the theory that all languages
must be branches of the one used by the progenitors of the
human race, he oonoeived that the investigation of radical
terms and philological comparisons would lead to the esta-
blishment of Scriptural History. His theory was an in-
fenions one, but Mr. Bryant's seal was greater than hie
, nowledge of oriental languages. Richardson and other
aoholars attacked some of his positions, and showed their
erroneous fouDdations. A Tindicalion of the Apamean
Medal; Arehaol. voL iv., and separately in 4ta, 1775.

would always elucidate much valuable truUi. In 1783
was pub. The Marlborough Gems, under the title of 0«n-
narum antiquarum delectns ex pneatantioribns desnmptna

Mr. Bryant had always been conspicuous for the ind*.
pandenoe of his opinions, and had excited the astonishment .
of the learned who were willing to take things as they had
received them from their grandsires. But what was their
dismay when Professor Dalzel's publication of Chevalier's
Description of the Plain of Troy, elicited from the fearless
Jacob, A Dissertation concerning the War of Troy, and
the Expedition of the Grecians aa described by Homer,
showing that no such expedition ever took place, asd that
no such city as Phrygia existed, Lon., 1706, 4to. Great
was the Indignation of the Hellenists at flnding-their be-
loved city thus unoeremonionsly swallowed up by the rod
of this skeptical magician. Determined not to yield with-
out a struggle, Vincent, Falkonor, Wakefield, and Morritt
rushed to tha raseaa, and the vindioators of Troy fought

Amidst all Mr. Bryant's learned inquiries, itmay be said
to his praise, that If at times speculation deceived or theory
betrayed him, yet his great object was to advance the glory
of God by promoting the salvation of man : to eonSrm our
hope of a gloriona immortality, by establishing the truth
of that inspired record wherein wo "think we have eternal
life."

who liave ahown their nanal good judgment and taate in is-
■aing them in variona styles to suit all purchasers. For the
above Caots we are indebted to Oriawold'a Poeta and Poetry
of Amerioa, to which the reader ia referred for a feller n»-
tiee of this gifted author and his poems. As editor for the
last thirty years of the New York Evening Post, a lending
Oemoeratie jaamal, and by his contributinns to periodicals,
ia the abapa of reviews, tales, Ac, Mr. Bryant has proved
kiaselfasgreatamaaterofproseasheisofpoetry. Whilst
oar spaee forbids any thing like an extended analyaia of the
great merits of Mr. Bryanfs poetry, we shall not feel jus-
tiSed in eioaing this article without quoting some opinions
whieh will justly carry with then more weight than any
eritieism of our own. A highly eommendatory notice of
tlia Watsr-Fowl, Oreen River, Inscription for the Entrance
into a Wood, and Thanatopais, will be found in the Lon-
don (old) Retrospective Review—* periodical very chary
of praiaa— for 1824. We extract a few lines :

**1he verses of Mt JBrjant (the but of the Amerioan Poet^
eoBM as esraredly from the ' well of English nndefllsd.* as the
Insr eomwMlthma of Mr. Wordsworth ; Indeod, tbe TeasmbUnos

Mow paiallsL It Is quite idle to sat up fcr Ameriea the benaflt
ef a fiey Isngnags : she Joes not leqnlre it Slie can stand upoo
%ae own ground even now ; and It may be, that If we pnrsne our
rivalry, we may (In some elSMea of literature) have in the course
at tlaie, no such overwhehalng cause for exultatioo.''

This compliment was elidtad by Mr. Jefferson's remark —
* When we shall have existed as a people as long as tbe Greeks
4ld before they produeed Homer, tbe Romans a Virgil, tiw Freneh
a Radoa and voltsira, the Kngllsta * Shakspeare sad Milton;
abcold this refroach be stUl true, we will ioqalie from what an-
Meadly eanaes It haa praoeedad, that the other oonntrles of Zth
rope and quarters of the earth shall not have Inscribed any name
of ours on the roll of poets."

Mr. Jefferson here refers to the oontemptuous assertion
•f tile Abl>< Raynal, that America had not produced a
single Bum of genius. The depreciating query of the
witty Canon of St. Paul's will immediately ooenr to tbe
Madat'i mind, bat ii so trite that we are afraid to qnote it.
Tiie Retrospective Review still further remarks, " The
Xnseription for the Bntranes into a Wood reminds us both
•f Wordsworth and Cowper." We make an extract Tnm
ft long and intereeting review of Bryant's poetry by one
of the highest anthorities in the language, distinguished

Brydges, Sir Samnel Egerton, 1762-1837, "a
man to all the book tribe dear," was a native of Wotton
Court, Kent. He was the second son of Edward Brydges,
Esq., of tliat plaoe, by Jemima, daughter and so-faeiress
«f the Rev. William Egerton, LL.D., Prebendary of Can-
terbury. He was educated at the Orammar School at
Maidstone for four years, for live at the King's School,
Cambridge, and in 1780 was entered of Queen's College,
Cambridge. He was called to the Bar in 1787, bnt never
applied with much leal to its duties. In 1812 he was
ejected to Parliament from Maidstone, and oontinaed a
member until 1818, .when he removed to the oontinen^
where he remained residing at Paris, Geneva, in Italy, Ac.,
nntil bis death in 1837. We now come to notice a mat-
ter respecting which Sir Egerton (for so he is commonly
sfyled) permitted few of his readers to remain long igno-
rant. After the death of the last Duke of Chandos in
1790, Sir Egerton induced his brother, the Rev. Edward
Tymewell Brydges, to prefer a claim to the Barony of Chan-
dos, upon the ground of alleged descent from a younger
■on of the Irst Brydges who wore that title. The House
of Peers pronounced its decision in 1803, " that the peti-
tioner had not made out his claim to the title and dignity
of Baron Chandos." This was a death-blow to the ambi-
tious hopes of the aspiring litUrateurf and the effects of
bis disappointment were permitted to mar many pages of
nrofonnd lore and rare beauty. It is not thought by those
best qualiiied to jndge, that any injustice was done to him-
■elf or brother in the premises. Those who are curiona
on this subject eao refer to Mr. O. F. Belts's Review of
the Chandos Peerage Case, Lon., 1834, Sro, and to Sir
Bgerton's edit of Collins's Peerage. Sir Egerton, not-
withstanding this adverse decision, declared that he eonld
assert his rights by Common Law ; and upon Ibis prwnmp-
tion he was wont to add to his signature " per lagnm Terrss
B. C. of S." But in 1814 he received a moi« substantial fao-
nour in the shape of a baronetcy. In his novel of Arthur
fits-Albini the rMdar will flndrecordedmaeh of the anther's
sombre experience. Like Lord Byron, whom in some r»-
■pects he resembled. Sir Egerton is continually presenting
bis own wofnl visage in his gloomy galleries. As a writer

Buchanan, George, 1506-1581, an eminent histo-
rian and Latin poet, was a native of Killaim, eonnty of
Stirling, Scotland. He was sent by his uncle, James
Eeriot, to the University of Paris, where he applied him-
self to his studies with great diligence. Afler residing at
this seat of learning for two years, the death of his uncle
reduced him to such poverty, that he was obliged to leave
the University, and enlist as a common soldier in the army
of the Duke of Albany, then commanding the French
forces in Scotland, and regent of the kingdom. After a
few months' experience of military life, he attended the
lectures of the celebrated John M^Jor, and matriculated
at the University of St. Andrew's. Major took his pupil
with him to France, and in 1526 procured for him a regency
in the College of St. Barbe, where he took B.A. in 1527,
and M.A. in 1528, and gave instructions in grammar; at
the same time acting as tutor to the young Earl of Cassils,
with whom he returned to Scotland. On the death of bis
pupil, James V. appointed Buchanan preceptor to his
natural son, James, afterwards the Abbot of Kelso, who
died in 1548. Buchanan became an object of dislike to
the Franciscans by two satires — Somninm and Francis-
canns — directed against the licentious lives of some mem-
bers of this order. Franciscanos was written by command
of King James, who suspected several of the Franciscans
of disaffection. Buchanan was arrested on the charge of
heresy by Archbishop James Beaton, and confined in St
Andrew's Castle, from whence he escaped to England.
Kot meeting with encouragement from Henry VIIL, he
next visited Paris, where he found his old enemy, Cardinal
Beaton. He now accepted a professorship in Uie College
of Guienne, at Bordeaux, where he resided for three years,
when he removed to Paris, and from 1544 to 1547 was a
regent in the College of Cardinal le Moine. In the latter
year he accompanied his friend Andrew Oovea (late prin-
cipal of the College of Ouienne) to Portugal. He remained
tier* nnmolested antil the death of Qovoa, when upon the
charge of heresy he was confined in the prison of the In-
quisition for a year and a half, ttoja whence he was trans-
ferred to a monastery, to be educated in the faith of the
Church of Rome. He says that here he found the monks
moral in their deportment but altogether ignorant of reli-
gion. Whilst seclnded in this monastery, he composed his
oelebiated translation of the Psalms into Latin verse.
After regaining his freedom he visited England, Patis, and
Scotland, and was appointed by the Esri of Moray, Prin-
cipal of BL Leonard's College in the University of St An-
dnw's. He embraced the oanse of the Regent Moray, and
wrote a Detection, Ac, charging Queen Mary with adultery
and murder. In 1M7 he was appointed Modeiatoi of the
»

General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, which gar*
great dissatisfaction to many — ^it being alleged that, not-
withstanding his abilities and learning, being a layman,
he was unfitted for the post. He accompanied the Earl
of Moray to England, and whilst there addressed some
highly complimentary verses to Qneen Elisabeth. The
queen hod no dislike to praise, especially ft'om the pen
of the learned, and she settled upon him a pension of £100.
He had previously been appointed, in an assembly of the
Scottish nobility, tator to King James YL, and he proved
his independence by conferring upon his yonthfbl majesty
an application of the birch, the iame whereof has come
down to our day. He remarked of the Seottish Solomon,
that he " made him a pedant beeause he could make no-
thing else of him." He met with a severe loss in the death
of his patron, Moray, who was assassinated in 1570. In
the next year Buchanan was appointed one of the Lords
of the Council and Lord Privy Seal, which entailed him to
a scat in Parliament. For the last years of his life he
was much afflicted with, and confined to his house by, the

Siut, and employed his leisure in the preparation of his
istory of Scotiand, which octtapied him at intervals for
12 or 13 years. It was pub. in 1582, Edin., foL The
plainness of some of his strictures gave great oflence to
the king, and the author was summoned to attend the
Council, but died before the ^pointed "day of compear-
ance" The aged historian, who had led so tnmbled a life
fh>m the malice of his persecutors, felt little apprehension
at this last display of hostility. When told (hat the king
was highly incensed at his De Jure Regni, and liis Renun
Scoti Eistoria, he replied that he

" Was not much concerned abont that; Itar he was shortly going
to a place where there were few kings."

He ordered his servant to give all his money to the poor,
and SMd that if those who survived him

** Did not think proper to buiy him at their own expense, they
might let Um lie where be was, or throw his corpse where U19
pleased."

He was accordingly butted at the expense of the titf
of Edinburgh. After a life of more thain ordinary hard-
ship, thus was gathered to his fathers — and we trust to
that peaceful haven " where the wicked cease from tnm-
bling, and the weary are at rest" — one of the most famous
schMars whom the world has ever seen.

We hare nan that Charles followed hii father'! adrice,
■ad loat hia head by negleeting the prineiplea of the old
•ehoobaaster'f De Jnre Kegni. Jamos nerer forgot the
iagellationa by means of which Buchanan qniokenod his
iutotleetoal peroeptions. He used to remark, long after,
of aa •mlnent indiridna], that ha " erer tramblad at his
miraaah ; it minded him ao of his pedagogue."

Blehard Harrey seems to have felt somewhat of tha
aaaa awe^ In faia Philadelphos, or a defence of Brutes
•ad the Brotans History, in answer to onr author, he thus
•zeitas his eonngo for tiie onslanght:

" Master Buchanan, though aome eMl you the tnmipet of Scot-
Isad, and soaas tbe noble arhoUer, yet I will be ao bold as answers
joor ismm, touching the hlstary of mighty Brute."

fleorge Sglisem had th« elftontery to elidm that his
taasladon of the Psalms was superior to Buchanan's, and
area i^>pealed to the University of Paris to confirm the
Justiea of his critieisms on hii Ulustriona rival. Hereupon

■'It ia generally admitted that to Scotland heloaga the honour
of baring produced the flnaat I«tln version of the Book of Paalma
At a time when literature wae flu- from eommaai in Bnrope, Bu-
chanan, then a prisoner in a Ibrelgn bind, produced a work wbhft
haa Immortallxed bla name, and left acairely any thing to be do-
rired — aa kr as the beauties of diction and Imagery are conmmed
—In a tnnsUtkm of the sacred aongs. It la not meant that he
liaa alwaya klthfully lepiiiaunted the meaning of the original.
He had not perhape, a snfflclent atock of Hebraw knowledge to
enable him to do aa Hla atudlea and attainments wer« more of
s dasslral than of a Biblical character; and hla principal aim waa
to clothe tl>e sentiments of David in the elegant drapery of Horace
and TlrglL Thera are twenty-nine dlflerent kinds of measura ia
the work. In all of which he shows how completely he was master
of the varied forms of I«tin verse. Inimtnyofttie Paalma he haa
aucoeeded to admiration. The CIV. haa A«]nently been aalected
as one of the finest apeclmena of Bubllme poetry. ... A transit
tlon of Buchanan's Paslms Into Kngliah verse waa publlalied by
the Rev. J. Cradock, of MaryUnd, 1744, 8va"— Orwe'i Bftt, «h.

"If we look into Buchanan, what can we ray, but that tlw
learned author, with great command of latin expieaalon, baa no
tme rvllub for tbe emphatlck conciseness and unadorned ■!««■
pUelty of the Inspired poet?" — Da. Beattix.

Tbe treatise De Jnre Regni apud Scotos is in the form
of a dialogue liotween Bnchaaan and Thomas Maitland.
The latter, represented as lately returned from hia travels,
complains to the former of tbe proceedings against Mary,
Queen of Scots, for the alleged murder of her husband.
Lord Damley. Buchanan justifies his eonnttymen, ana
in the course of his arguments assumes gronnda of a oha-
raeler so demooratie as to astonish the public mind of
Europe.

" Thia book of Buchanan's has been much traduced by sons
good kind of men, and passes fat a very pemldons work. But,
after a carefU perusal, I cannot view It in this light: be only
teaches that kings are not above the laws that they ban awoca
ta and that the people may oblige them to obeerve them, and that
without thia they ara not bound to obey tbem." — La CLiao;
A-MtcM&Tfv ChxiAt.

" It haa been reproached to thia cultivated achdar that he gives
bis sentiments with too mnch liberty. I am anrprised that so
many critics have concurred In this censure. Is tttere a quality
In an author ao bononrable, ao uaefn], aa that of expreaidng wliat

But the archbishop dtsawprovos of many of the his-
torian's sentiments, whilst he lands the author's genlna.
Dr. Robertson speaka mnch in the same strain :

"Bnchanaa Is not suMckntly exact In his dates, nor doee he

We are not • little surprised at Mr. HsIIam's estimate
of the merits of Buchanan. Withent denying him great
merit, he thinks him much orerrated. In thus taking
ground against Henry Stephens, Scaliger, Baillet, and " all
France, Italy, and Oermany," this eminent scholar displays
a commendable independence — the correctness of his judg-
ment is another question — and he very modestly remarks,

" As I have ftirly quoted those who do not qidte agree with my-
self and by both number and reputation ought to weigh more
with the reader, he has no right to complain that I mialaad hIa
taste."— Z<(. HM. i^Bunpt.

The distinguished critic considers that" Jonston's Psalms
do not fall short of those of Bnclianan," and he prefers
the poem of the latter on the Sphere to any other of his

Bndgell, Eustace, 1685-1736, a son of Qilbert Bud.
gell, D.D., a native of St. Thomas, neaur Exeter, was adn-
cated at Christ Church, Oxford. Removing to London, h*
was entered of the Middle Temple, his father having se-
lected the Law as a sait^le profession for the display of
the nncommon abilities of his son. But the young msm
had acquired a literary taste, whieh interfered with the
raqnisite application to his new dudes. He lacked suffl-
eicnt self-denial to indite a Farewell to his Muse, (see
Blackstohs, Sib Wiixiah,) and was far mora disposed to
euTtivate bar acquaintance. He had the good sense to seek
an intimacy with Addison, also, fint cousin to Budgall's
mother, and his celebrated nlative, who had been ap-
pointed Secntary to the Earl of Wharton, Lord Lieutenant
of Inland, gave him a clerkship in bis oBcc Budgell
had now seeared a position which with ordinary pmdenes
would have insured him literary distinction and sooial ad-
vantages seldom accorded to one so young, but he unfortu-
nately possessed a captions and qnamlsome disposition,
stimulated by an Inordinate vanity, which rendered him
misenbl'e in life, and was the canse, in connection with
an alleged crime, of a disgraceful death by his own hand.
He drowned himself in the Thames in 1736. His unhappy
temper was continually marring the lealous efforts of Ad-
dison for his advancement. The Duke of Bolton and the
Earl of Sunderland found it impossible to aid one who
was always fighting against himself by abuse of those who
were disponed to serve him. To add to his troubles, h*
lost above £20,000 in 1720 in the famous South Sea schema.
Before BudgeU had attained his majority be contribiicd
several Pspcrs to The Tatlcr. It is not known whieh these
were. To The Spectator he contributed the following
papers, according to the enumeration of Dr. Drake, (dis-
tinguished by " X" in the first seven volumes,) Not. 67,
77, 116, 150, 161, 175, 197, 217, 277, 283, SOI, 307,313,
319, 325, 331, 337, 341, 347, 353, 359, 365, 373, 379, 385,
389, 395, 401, 508, 584, 573, 581, 591, 509, 602, 605, 628;
also a letter signed Eustace, in No. 539, to which list Dr.
BisteU adds 570. To The Ouardian, Nos. 26, 31.

In 1730 he became a contributor to The Craftsman, the
formidable opponent of Sir Robert Walpole's administra-
tion. See BoLixaBKOKR, Lord. Towards the close of
1732, he commenced a weekly magasine entitled The Bee,
whidi extended to 100 numbers, forming 8 vols. 8vo.
About this time occurred an event alluded to pnvionsly,
which eficited one of the most poignant epigrams of Pope,
fir. Matthew Tindal was an intimate friend of our author's,
and the latter is supposed to have had something to do
with the publication of Tindal's Christianity as old as the
Craation. The Dr. in his will charged Budgell to give to
the world the second part of this infamous piece, and ha
also bequeathed to him the sum of £2100. Tindal's ne-
phew disputed the will, and it was set aside, not without
great injury to Budgall's character. The latter some time
before had attacked Pope in consequence of a piece pub-
lished in the Orub-Street Journal, whieh he attributed to
the author of the Dnnciad. Pope conceived that the op-
portonity for nvenge had now aixived, and in the Fro-

Bndgell's tnnalation from the Oreek of Theophraitni'a
Charaoten, pnb. 1713, wu 10 creditable aa to elicit the
warm commendation of Addiaon in the 3Bth number of
The Lover. In 1732 he pub. Memoira of the Lirea and
Gharactera of the Family of the Bojlea, particularly of
Chablks, Eabl or Orribt, {j. v.) Thia work oontaina
much Talnable information concerning Iriah affaira. The
hnmoroua Epilogue to Ambroaa Philipa'a Diatreaaed Mo-
ther, which wai one of the moat popular produotiona of
the day, and kept poaaeaaion of public favour for many
yeara, although attributed to Budgell, ia aaid to have been
written by Addiaon. In addition to the worka enumerated,
he pub. a nnmber of political and other piecea, and aome
Poama which are now entirely neglected. Budgell'a atyle
la oonsidered to be a very happy imitation of that of hia
fiiend Addiaon; and Dr. Johnaon declarea that "Addi-
aon wrote Bndgell'a papera, or at leaat mended them ao
much that he made them almoat hia own" — but thia opinion
ceema to have no higher anthority than the endoraement
of a looae aurmiae.

"To have entered with perfect accuiaey Into the conception and
keeping of a ehaiacter ao original aa that of Sir Boger de Coverler,
b the atlll greater merit of Budgell. In this r«apect he la eei^
talnly anperior to Steele; and hli deacriplloo of The Hunt In Na
US, In which the knight makee ao delkhtAil and appro|)riate a
flgufe, la a ptetore that we would not exchange fbr vOlnmea of me-

In aevetal of his communications ; especlallr in hia Obaervatkm
on Baarda, (Speotator, No. 331;) on Country Wakea, (No. 161;) In

hia relation of Will HoneycomVa Amours, (No. 369;) and In hia
dataUaf tfaaeaKiiaftlM Month of May on Female ChaaUty,(Noa.
306 and 396.) On this laat subiect he has copied the graceful com-
noaltton and sly humour of Addison with peculiar felicity; and
Ua admonitions to tlie flUr sex during this soft and seductive sea-
son, combine such a mixture of pleasing Imagery, moral precept,
and ludicrous association, aa to render the essays wbkh convey

Bishop Bull endeavoured to exhibit this dootrine so as to
"absolutely exclude all pretensiona to merit on the part

marks that, if the learned treatises of Father Thomaaain
and the preface of Father Petaa are neglected by the op-
ponent of the eternal generation of the Bon, — then

"I send him to Bnll, that learned English l>rotestant, In the
treatise where he hath so well defended the Fathers who llTed be-
fore the Council of Nice, Ton must either renounce the Faith of
tha HoW Trinity, which Ood IbrbM, or pieanppoae with me that
this author hath reaaon."

Ve giro some other quotations :

"The beat books against the Arlana, besldee Biahcfl Pearaon on
the Creed, are Bishop Bull's works." — Da. Wonov.

Bishop Horsley eommenda the aeeuraoy of Dr. Bnll'i
dtationa from the Fathers of the firat three oentnries,
" oonfirming the Ghoroh of England Faith, and refuting
the TTnitarian."

■' On the suttjeet of a sinnat's Justilcatlon beftire Ood, the tIsws
of this distinguished prelate were Teiy incorrect, and hare done
Immenae harm ; but aa an adroeate of the Catholic doctrine of the
Trinity, declared In the Nicena Creed, he has few equals. He waa
a man of immense learning, the whole of which he has brought
to bear on this important snl^ect His Life, br Robert Nelson,

the Anathema, aa the former waa of the Faith, declared by
the First Council of Kioe) waa sent by Mr. Nelson to the
famous Bishop of Meanx, Boeanet, whose commendation
of the preceding work we hare already eitod. Thia cele-

** So great a man, so weighty and solid an author, eould oontlnna

He begged to hare thia question reaolred, and Dr. Bull,
nothing backward in defending the apostolicity of the
Church of England, drew up a treaUaa upon the anbjeet,
which did not reach Mr. Nelaon'a bands until just aa he

' " Thovgh to my ■haiiM, I coofeM, I did soon lose ihst I had
learned, erren almoft utterlj, and that long belbre the Lord dki
vork his gnxAoxiK work of conTendon upon my bouI.**

His youth gave litUe promise of the ozemplary piety
few wbieh he was Afterwards noted. Some of hia modem
biographers hare taken strange liberties witii the facts of
the ease, by seeking to represent his eharacter at this
period as much better than it really was. If we can be-
liere his own words, he led a rery dissolute life, and seems
anxious to acknowledge his transgreaoiens, that be might
magnify the murey which snatched him from the "horri-
ble pit and the miry elay." Saeh inatanoes of " Grace
Abounding" are of gr«at raluo, and shonld teach us never
to despair of, nor oeaee to labour for^ the reformation and
eonrenion of the most vicious* He tells us, with his own
simile pathos, the manner in which his conscience re-
eaived an impression which led to the happiest resolts for
his Aiture character :

** As I was standing at a nelghboiu's shop-wfndow, and there
coning and swearing after my wonted manner, there sat wllhin
the woman of the honse, who heard me ; and though she was a
very looea and ungodly wretch, yet protested that I swore and
enzeed at that mom^ fearful rmta, tiiat she was made to tremble to
bear me. ... At this reproof I was sQenoed, and put to secret
shame, and that, too, as I thought, before the Ood of Heaven;
whareftire, whfle I stood there, hanging down mj head, I wished
that I might be a little chfld agahi, that mj &tber might learn me
to speak without this wtcked way of swearing."

What an encouragement is this to reprove profanity,
•nd, indeed, to proffer good advice even to those who seem
the meet unlikely to be edified 1 "Blessed are they that
■ow beside all waters.** " Thou knowest not which ahall
prosper, this or that"

At the early age of nineteen, he married a wife "whose
father and mother were oonnted godly." This connex-
ion was of great advantage to him; his immoral habits
were laid aside, and be was so much pleased with this
Improvement, that he trils as, '*I thought no man in
Bngland could please Ood better than I." He was fa-
voured with more eorrect views both of bis own depra^
ritjt and of the justifying grace which is in Christ Jesus ;
And in the year 1053 he was considered qualified for ad-
mission into a Baptist congregation at Bedford. Two
years later, on the death of the pastor, he was urged to
preach to the congregation, at least for a season. He was
eagerly heard both in Bedford and in the adjoining parts
of the eonntry. After preaching for some five years, Justice
Wingate, who declared be would break the neck of such
meetings, issued an indictment against him, which ran in
these words :

** Jolin Bnnyan hath devnishlyand penikfcnisly abstained fnm
eomlng to chnrch to hear divine serrfee, and Is a rooimou upholder
of sererml anUwftal meetings and conTentlcles* to the disturbance
end distraction of the good sntdeets m this klngdcm, eontrary to
the laws of our sovereign lord and king.**

He was oast into Bedford jail, where were abovt sixty
Pissentera, and

** Here wKh only two boolu,— the ^ble and Fox's Book of Mar-
tyrs,— he employed his tlnw tjr twelve years and a half, hi preach-
Uig to, and praying with, his fellow-prbonen, hi writing seTeral
flCUs works, SDd in making tagged laces for the support of Um-
sdf and flunlly.**— Da. Baklow.

Bishop Lineoln — to his praise be it recorded — procured
his enlargement in 1672. He visited hia religious brethren
in various parts of England, exhorting them to good works
■ad hi^ness of life; by these visitations, he acquired the
Baae of Bishop Bunyan. When James II. issued bis
oroclamation for liberty of conscience to Dissenters, Bunyan
Doilt a meeting-house at Bedford. He annually visited
bis BMktist lffe«irai in London, where such was bis popu-
larity that the meeting-house was too strait for his hearers.
During one of these journeys, he was overtaken by a
riolent storm of rain, from which he contracted a cold,
whieh ended fiitally, at his lodgings in Snow-hill, August
Slst, 1688.

Banyan wrote many works ; it is said as many as be was
years of age, ^^>^ ^^^ ^" chiefly known by that wonderful
production, " Pilgrim's Progress," the fruit of his imprison-
menty and, we had almost said, valuable enough to recon-
cile US to the wickedness of that persecuting spirit that
tfaos nnwitUngly edaoed good Grom eviL But, no ; we abhor
the crime, while we rejoice that it was overruled to such
happy results. In aeeordaoee with what we esteem one
of the most valuable features of our work, we shall pro-
ceed to give the opinions of various eminent authorities
npon the merits of Uie best-known uninspired allegory
which has been composed by the wit of man.

** It is not known," says Dr. Bouthev, fwho has written the lUb
of Banyan,) **ln what year *The Pltgrim's Prograe^ was flrat
pabliataed; no copy of tos first edition having as yet been dis-
covered. The secosHl Is in the British Museum; it is with addl-
tion% and Its dote is 1076. But as the work is known to have

been written dvrhig Banyan's Imprisonment, which termfnafed
In 1072, tt was probably published befwe his release, or, at latest,
innnedlately after It."

It had reached the tenth edition in 166& 1 Bnnyan, in
the preface to the second part, published in 165^ com-
plains that

" Some have of late, to counterfeit
My Pilgrim, to their own my title set ;
Tea, others, half my name snd title too.
Have stKchied to their books, to make them do."
If not veiy poeticaT, this is sufficiently significant*
The third part, denied to be Bunyan's, appeared in 1693*
It has been snggosted that the bint of the Pilgrim's Pro-
gress was taken from an allegory written by the Rev,
Richard Bernard, — The Isle of Man ; or Legal Proceed-
ings in Manshire against Sin, Lon., 1627 : this work seems
to hare been as popular as Bunyan's, baring also reached
the tenth edition in eight years, — 1635. Bunyan's Pil-
grim has been translated into almost every modem Euro-
pean tongue, and is perhaps the most popular religiotu
work ever written.

" If tbU work is not a • well of English wndefiled,' It Is a clear
stream of current Knglish, the vernacular speech of hA» age ; son^
times, Indeed, in its rusticity and coarseness, but always in Its
plainness and Its strength. To this natural style. Bnnyan Is In
some degree beholden for his general popularity ; his language Is
everywhere level to the most Ignorant reader, and to the meanest
capsicity : there is a homely reality about it; a nnnery tale Is not
more intelligible in Its manner of narrmtlon to a child. Another
cause of his popularity Is, that he taxes the ioiaglnatkm aa little
as the understuidlng. The vividness of his own Imagtaiatlcsk Is
such, that he saw the things of w hlch be was writing as distinctly
with his mind's eye as if they were Indeed passing before him In
a dream. And the reader, perbapa, sees them more satlsfiictorily
to hirasd( heaiuse the outline only of the ^cture is presented to
him, and the author having made no attempt to fill up the details,
evei7 reader supplfes them according to the measure and aeofe of
his own Intellectual and imaginative powers." — Sijutbet.

Mr. Ivimey, another biographer of Bnnyan% thus
speaks of the basis of this allegory :

"The plan of this work Is admirable, being drawn from the cl>
cmnstances of hia own life, as a stranger and pRgrira, who bad
left the ' Cltr<^ Destruction' upon a Journey towards the "■ Celestial
Ceontry.' The dllBenltles ha met with In Us determlnatkro to
serve Jesus Christ, suggested the many ctrcumstanees of danger
through which this pflgrim passed. The versatile conduct of
some professors of rell^on, suggested the different characters which
Christian met with In his way ; these, most probably, were persons
whom he well knew, and who, perhaps, would be indlTldually
read at the time."

Bunyan seems to have been sorely perplexed by the
conflicting advice of bis IHends as to the expediency or
otherwise of printing his " little book :"

" Some said, John, print It ; others said. Not so ;
Some said It might do good, others said, Mo."
Thus differently advised,

** Now was 1 in a strait, and <nd not see
Which was the best thing to be done by me."
He decided, as authors generally do in such coses:
"At last I thought, since you are thus divided,
I print It wUI ; and so the case decided."
" Ingenious dreamer I fai whose welttokl tale
Bweet fiction and sweet truth altte prevail ;
Whose hnmorouB vein, strong sense, and dmple slyl^
Hay teach the gayest, make the gravest noQe;
Witty, and well employed, and, like thy litad,
Spealiing In parables his slighted word ; —
I name uiee not, lest so de^>lsed a name
Should move a sneer at thy deserved ftime.** — Cowraa.
It is a curious fact that Banyan's prison eomponion.
Pox's Book of Martyrs, (his only book save the Bible,)
was sold in 1780 to Mr. Wantner of the Priories; it was
inherited by his daughter, Mrs. Pamell of Botolph Lane;
and afterwards purchased by subscription for the Bedford-
shire General Library. It is enriched with the poor pri-
soner's annotations, in rhyme, one of which we quote j it
is a eomment upon the account) of Qordiner's death:
M The blood, the blood that he did shed
Is fclling on his one [own] bead;
And dreadfiil It is for to see
The beginers of Bis misere."
Banyan had a talent for repartee. A Quaker visited
him in Bedford jail, and declared that by the order of the
Lord he had sought for him in half the prisons of England.
** If the Lnd had sent you," replied the prisoner, ** you need
not have teken so much trouble to find nte out; Ibr the Lord
knows that I have been a prisoner In BedJbrd jail Ibr the last
twelve yeara."

Mr. Granger remarks,

'* Bunynn, who has been mentioned among the least and lowest
of our writcn, and even ridiculed aa a driveller by thoee who had
never read htm, deserves a much higher rank than Is cranmonly
Imagined. His Pilgrim's Progress gives ns a clear and distinct
Mea of Calvinistic divinity. In the firat part, the allegorr is ad-
mirably carried on, and the characters Justly drawn, and nnubrmly
supported. The author's original and poet& genius shines through
the coarseness and vulgarity of his language, and Intimates that

** Mr. Merrlek has been heard to lay, In conTemtlon, thai hii In-

Lord Kame« makes a remark of a aimilar oharaoter; h«
desoribes the Pilgrim*B Proipresfl as

"Oompoaed In a style enUrened, like that of Homer, by a proper
mixture of the dramatic and narratlTO, and upon that amount It
has been translated into most European languagea."

Dean Swift declared, that

"He had been better entertained, and more Informed, by a
chapter In the Pilgrim's Progress, than by a long discourse npon
the will and Intellect, and simple or oomplex ideas."

Dr. Radoliffe terms this allegory a " phoenix in a cage."

" Honest John Bnnyan li thefint man I know ot, who has mln-
glad narratlTe and dialogue together; a mode of writing Ter7 eo-
gaglag to the reader, who, In the moit interesting passages, finds
himsuf admitted, as It were, Into the company, and present at the
eonTersation." — Da. FaxirKuir.

** Banyan's Pilgrim was a Oiristlan, but Patrick** only a Pedlar.*

When Charles IL expressed hia surprise to Dr. Owen
that a man of hia learning could " sit and hear an illite-
rate tinker prate," the doctor answered :

** May It please jour majesty, could I possess that tinker's aU-
Utles f^ preaching, I would most gladly relinquish all my learn-

ing."

Mr. <

. Conder, in his biograpbioal sketch of our anthor,
has Tindioated him from some eironeous representatione
whieh he considers Dr. Southey to bare made in bis Life
of Bnnjan. In the good tinker's own daj, " erroneous
representations" of him were not unknown, for we find an
aooount of a work with this most nngraoious title — Dirt
wiped oat| or a manifest Discovery of the gross Ignorance,
Erroneonsness, and most unchristian and wicked spirit of
one John Bnnyan, Lay preacher in Bedford, Ac, Lon.,

1A73, by . But we forbear to giro the anthor's name.

Those who desire to have a faithful account of the strug-
gles and trials of Bunyan, should read his Grace Abound-
ing to the Chief of Sinners ; nor should The Holy War
made by King Shaddai upon Diabolns, Ac, be neglected.
Of the Pilgrim's Progress Mr. Joseph Ivimey wrote a oon-
tinnatioD, of which Lowndes thus speaks :

** The allegory Is In many places slnguJarly well sustained, and
the perlbrmanoe is In erery way creditable to the talents and in-
formation of the writer."

** Bunysn's Pilgrim's Progress and The Holy War arc Inimitable
specimens of genius and humour In the aerTlce of experimental
rsUghm. His works display an original genius, depth a( Christian
expertenee, and much greater preeiBlon ttf thought and expression
than might have been expected from a man who made no pretea-
slMis to liteiatare."— Da. WiLUAMS.

" Bedford Jail was that den wherein Bnnyan dreamed his dream :
The FttgrUa's Progress, a book which the child and his grand-
moihsr read with equal delight; and which, more than almost

any other woik, may be eald to be
* Meet Ibr aiH houra, and

every mood of man,'

was written Id prison, where Bnnyan preached to his Mlow-prl-
sonera, supported his ftmlly bv making tagged laoea, and flUed up
his leisure by writing a considerable nut of two ftillo vcdnmea.
The work by which he imm<Mtallied huns^ grew from a sudden
thought which occurred while he was writing In a dlflhrent strain.
Its progress be relates oddly enough In his rhyming apology, but
more eurionsly In some verses pnrflxed to the Holy War :
' It came from mine own heart, so to my head,

And thence Into my fingers trickeled ;

So to my pen, from wbenee Immediately,

On paper I did dribble it daSntOy.*

not to tbeir principles ttf dissent, that Milton and Bunyan and
De Foe owe taelr bnmortaUty I strange company, we confess, bot
web laeompaiaUe In his way."— £ofi. QuarlMy Review.

** I know of no book, the Bible excepted, as above all oomparl-
•oa, which I, according to my Judgment and experience, could so
saftly recommend as teaching and enforcing the whole saTlng
truth, aeeordlng to the mind that was In Christ Jesns, as the Plf
crlm*s Progress. It Is, In my conviction, incomparably the best
Bnmma TbeologlesB Evangsllese ever produced or a writer not
mtraenlonsly Inspired. ... It Is composed In the lowest style of
Bttg^lsb, wtttiont slang or Use grammar. If yon were to polish
It, yon woald at ones destroy the reality of the vision. For works
of imagination dmnid be written tn very idain language ; the
mors pordy imai^native they are, the mors neoeesary it is to be
tialbi. This wonderfhl book Is one of the few books which may
IM read repeatedly, at different timea, and each tlnw with a new
and a dtffiBrant pleasure. I read It once as a theologian, and let
me assors you that thsce Is great theological acumen In the woric ;
ones with devotional fedlngs; and once as a poet I could not
have believed belbrahand, that Calvinism oould be painted in
endt dsIlghtfU eoloon."— OoucBXiMa.

It is no slight eridenee of the great merit of our anthor
tiiat erities of such opposite tastes in many partionlars, vie
with eaeh other in commendation of the Tinker of Bed-
ford. Hear Dr. Johnson on this theme :

" April SO, 1778. Johnson praised John Bnnyan highly. His
Pilgrim's Progress has great merit, both for invention, imagioa-
tSon, and tlie conduct of the story ; and It has had tlie best evt
denoe of its merit, the general and continued approbation of man-
kind. Few books, I believe, have bad a more extensive sale. H
is remarkaUe, that It begins rery much like the poem of Dante;

Jet then was no traoalatlon of Dante when Bnayan wroCa, There
I iwBOB to think that ha had read Spenaer."— itosMMlTs Z^e 4^

"Perhaps there Is no book, with the dngle exception of the
Bible, that has been so widely dtlFused, tianslated Into so many
langnagea, and that Is fitted to take so firm a hold of the minu
h^ ot cAA and young, of teamed and nnlearoed, as the PDgrtm's
Progress. Its unity of design and fertility of invention, tike poetic
&ncy It displays, and the gnathic fldthAilness ctf the pletures It
ooDtains both ot life and manners ; these, together with its scrip-
tural truth and great practical ntiUty, have obtained iw tills d^
Ughtfnl allegory a popularity no leas great thui It prnmlsss to be
enduring. Its merits. Indeed, are inoontestahle."— Da. Jaioison.

■* It is, Indeed, one of the most extraordinary productions of any
age or country; and its popularity Is, perhaps, unrivalled. . . .
Though npon the most serious of subjects. It Is read by ehndren
with aa much pleasure as are the fictions written professedly fer
their amusemenL*' — Mills.

** Bunyan is unjustly desplBBd by some; his natural talents
and evangelical lolnriples and piety an admirable."— BicKcasTBrH.

"In what then oonusts the peculiar charm i^ this strange and
original fiction— a charm which renders tiie mde pages of Bnnyan
as flunlllar and delightful to a child as they are attrsctive to the
less Impreoionable mind of critical manhood? It Is the homely
eamestttMs, the idiomatic vigour of the style; It Is the feariesi

C D. CuviLum.
"Disraeli has well designated Bnnyan as the Spenser of the
peo|de; everyone femlUar with his FaBry Queen must acknow*
ledge the truth c^ the description. If It were not apparently ln>
eonsruouB, we would call Urn, in another soore^ the splrltnal
Shuspeare of the worid : fcr the aocaraey and charm with which
he has delineated the changes and progress of the s^tual 11%
are not leas exaulslte than that of Shakspeare In the Sevan A^es,
and InnumeraDle seenes of human life.^ — If. American Satem,
vol. xxxvl.

"The style of Bnnyan is dellgfatftd to evenr reader, and Invaln-
able as a stndy to every person who wishes to obtain a wide oom^
mand over the English language. The vocabulary is the vooabn-
lary of the common peopla There is not an expreaslon, if we
except a few technical terms of theology, which would puxsle the
rudest peasant We have obeerved aeveral pages which do not
contain a single word of more than two syllables. Tet no writer
has said more exaetly what he meant to say. For snagnlfiewnoe,
fer paUna, fbr vehement exhortation, fer subtle dlsqulsltloa, fer
every purpose of the poet, the orator, and the divine, this hoasely
dialect, the dialect or plain worklngBun, was perfectly soflclenL
There Is no book in our lltsnttnre on which we could so readUr
stake the feme of the oM onpoUntad Bng^iah language; no book
which shows so well how rich that language is in its own propsr
wealth, and how little It has been Improved by all that It has bor-
rowed. . . . We are not afraid to say that, though there were
many clever men In Kngland during the latter half of the seven-
teenth century, there were only two great creative minds. One
of those minds prodnoed the ParadhM Lost, the other, the Pil-
grim's Progress.*'— T. B. Hacaulat.

" The Pilgrim's Progress waa so acceptable to the common peo>
pie, by reason of the amusing and parabolical manner of Its com-
poaltlon, by way of vision, a method he was thought to have sneh
an extraordlnarr knack in, that soms thought there wera oonma>
nlcatlons made to him in ^eama, and that he first really dreamt
over the matter eontidned In such o€ his writings. Thu notloa
was not a little prr^pagated by his irfcture before some olT these
books, which is represented In a sleeping posture." — Otdif^g MSS.

** He had the invention, but not the other natural qnaUfieatlons
which are necessary to eonstitnle a great poet If his genius had
Intended him to be any thing more than a poet la proaa, it would
probably, like Shakneare's, have broken through every dlfflcnlty
crfUrth and station."— Da. Kirna

** The orlf^nali^ of Banyan's genius is strikingly displayed In
the Holy War. Indeed, the Holy War has no prototype in any
language."— Da. Cnxsva; see his Lectures on PHgrim s Progreas.

Among the editors of Pilgrim's Progress and biogrsb-
phers of Bunyan may be mentioned Soathey, Ivimey,
Offer, Harder, Gilpin, Mason, Montgomery, Philip, Scotl^
Conder, and St. John. Bunyan's Works, 2 volt, fol., 160^
1730, '37, '60, with Preface by G. Whitefleld, 1767;
2 vols. foL, Edin., 1771; 6 vols. Svo, with Notes by
Mason, Lon., 1784, 6 vols. 8ro ; best ed., by Oflfer, S volL
r. 8vo, Lon., 1863.

Oldys mentions it as the obaerratton of the anonymou
author of a discourse oonoeming Ridicule and Irony in
Writing, printed in 1729, that Bnnyan's Pilgrim's Pro-
gress liad infinitely outdone a eertain publioation which
the author mentions, wfaioh perhaps had not made one
convert to ta/Mel/iy; whereas the Pilgrim's Progren had
oonvarted many sinners to Christ

with other authorities in assigning Janaaiy 1, 1730, as th«
date of bis birth, but we adopt the decision recorded m tha
last ediUon of his works, (Lon., 1862, 8 vota. r. Sto.)^-
tbough hi* slater Juliana waa baptised in this year. Th*
family is descended from the Norman Burghs, or De Burghs,
(of which Burke or Bourke— for it u oven now spelt both
ways— is a oonuption,) who emigrated to Ireland under
Strongbow, tssip. Heniy IL His father, Biehwd Burke,
was an attorney, first in Limerick, and afterwards in Dub-
lin. About 1725 he married Miss Mary Nagle, of the an-
eient family of that name, stUl ezisUng near CasUetown
Roche, county of Cork. Of their fourteen or fifteen otal-
dren, all died young except Garret, Edmund, Riehard,aa<l
Juliana. In 1741 the three brothers were placed at • *en«ol
at BaUitore, oondnoted by an excellent master named Abra-
ham Shackleton, a Qnakw. With this gentleman and Ut
son Richard, his successor, Buike kept up the most friendly
relations until the death of the son in 1792. As a boy,
Edmund waa disUngulshed for that devoted applieataon to
the aoquiaiUon of knowledge, and remarkable powers of
comprehension and retention, which accompanied lum
through life "When we were at play," remarked hU
brother Richard, "he was always at work." In 1744 ha
entered Trinity College, Dublin, aa a pensioner. In 1740
he was elected a scholar of the house; commenced A.B.,
Feb. 28, 1747-48, and proceeded A.M., 1761. Goldsmith,
who waa his fellow-student tells us that he was not distin-
guished for any remarkable superiority of talents; but the
truth seems to be that he was lealoualy employed in lay mg
in those stores of useful rather than brilliant knowledge,
which afterwards proved of such service to him in the prac-
tical business of lUfe. Tet he did not scorn the blandish-
ments of the muse; for ho composed very creditable poetry,
and shidied with delight the poems of Shakspeare, Spenser,
Milton, and Young. Having determined to adopt the Law
as his profession, he was entered of the Middle Temple,
April 23, 1747, and early in 1750 arrived in London to luep
the customary terms previous to being oaUed to the Bar.
He changed hU views, however, for at the axpirataon of the
usual tiuM ha was not oaUed. In 1762 or 1763 he olferud
himself aa aaadidatofbr the Professorship of Logic in the
University of Glasgow, but, fortunately for the world and
his ftature fame, was unsuooossful. It is said, indeed, that
he withdrew his application when informed that "T""*^
mente had already been made by thoae interested whtoh
precluded any hope of his election. Mr. James Clow waa
elected to the vacant ehair. Having much leisure upon
his hands, Burke devoted it to assiduous study, oceaaionally
amusing himself by original compositions. Some of his
ptacei were published, but it is impossible at this time to
know what they were. One of the first Arthur Murphy
believed to be a poem, or poetical transUtion tmm the La-
tin. His first avowed publication, the Vindication of Hate-
ral Society, by a late Noble Writer, which appeared in tha
spring of 1766, 8vo, pp. 166, waa a moat successftal imita-
tion of the style, language, and thought of Lord Bollng-
broke. The object waa a most pndseworthy one ms

1754, pob. by David MaUel, and axoitad mmh attrntiim.

have praraiied under ever; Ibnn of goremment, and thns to allow

Toormble to virtue and bappineaa. In tbu pamphlet be gave the
moat perfect apeeimen wblcn the world haa ever aeen of tba art of
Imitating tbe atyle and manner of another. He went beyond tbe
awre cboloe of words, the stmetnie of sontencea, and tbe east of
imagery, into tlie deepsat reocssoa of tbouaht; and so completely
bad he imbued taimaeir with tbe spirit of Bolingbroke, that be
brought out precisely what every one sees bis lordsblp ought to
have said on his own prtnciplee, and might be expected to say, if
be dared to ezprees bis sentimental

The merit of this production wu the better appreciated
ftom the current opinion of literaty men that Bolingbroke's
S^le was' "not onlj the beat of that time, bat in itself
wholly inimitable." The oritics were completely deceived :

" Almoet everylwdy received it as a poatbumons work of Lord
BoUnj^yrolM; and ao&r from being loolted upon a« one (^ the hasty
iiretffcra of lila youth, or tlie gleanings of old age, it was pnlaed
up to the standard of hie beat writinga. The eritka knew tbe turn
of Ida perleda, hie style, liia plinuee, and above all, tlio matehleaa
dexterity of bis metaphysical pen. Charles Macklln, with the
■empblet in his band, used flreqnently to exclaim at tlie Grecian
Ougsa bouse, (wiiere be gave a kind of literary law to tlM young
lemplan at that time,) 'Sir, this must in Harry Bolingbroke; 1
know Idm by lUa eleven Ibotl' Tbe Karl of Chesterfield, who bad

point; and Biabop Warburton — an abler man than either of tlieir
wrdahipa— exeiaimed in bis usual rough style—' Tou see, sir, tile
ftitow's prinelplee; they now come out in a fbil blase,'"

We need not be •urprieed at this when we remember
that — to nae the language of Mr. Prior —

"The Imitation Indeed waa so perfect as to constitute identity,
rather than reaemblanee. It waa not merely the language, style,
and general eloquence of tbe original which bad been caught; but
the whole mind of tbe peer, bla train of thought, the power to enter
Into Ills conception, aewmed to be tianslbiTed Into the pen of hia
iasltator, with a ildeilty and ■ grace beyond the reerb of art.' "

A oelebnted eritie, alluding to tbe aneeaasfhl imitation
•f all of lira noUe writcr'a eharacteriatiea, remarks :

■* In Borka'a Imitation tNT Bolingbroke (the moat perftet apeeimen
paitepa that ever will exist of the art in question) we have all tbe
qoallliea which diatinguiab tbe style, or, we may Indeed say, the
fanioa, of that noble writer, eonoentrated and brought befbte ua"

This pamphlet waa reprinted in 176&, with a prefhce by
the author, in which he modeatly remarka :

Whatever may lie thought of the oorreotneas of Mr.
Burke's theory, the practical value of hia treatiae to him-
self is not to be disputed, for it at once secured him tha
aoquaintance of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Dr. Samuel Johnson,
and other literary celebritiea, whose congenial biendabip
formed no small portion of the bappineaa of hia Alton life.
In June, 1768, appeared the first number of the Annnal
Register, which, with the usual longevity attaching to
auoceaafnl Knglish periodicala, is published to the present
day. This review of the civil, political, and literary trans-
actions of the times, is said to have been suggested to
Dodsley, tbe publisher, by Burke. He conducted it for
many years, and when no longer holding tbe pen himself,
directed that of Mr. Ireland, his substitute.

Professor Smyth, in his lectures upon the American
War, (one of the exciting topics which came nnder the
notice of this periodical,) after recommending a nnmber
of publioatiens of the day, remarks:

" They who are not at leisure to examine theee boOks and nam-
phlets, will find the volumes of the Annnal Register an cxeeUeni
substitute for them all. Tbey contain, in the most condae Ibrm,
the most able, impartial, and authentic history of the dispute
which can be fbund. Tbe account la understood to have been
drawn up 1^ Burke, and if so, (and there is no doubt of it,) the
arguments on each dde are displayed with an impartiality which
la quite admirable." — Leetmru on iiodtrn Sutory.

The health of the young author requiring relaxation, and
the care of a jndicions adviser ; hia friend and countryman.
Dr. Christopher Nugent, an excellent physician, invited
him to take up his residence in his own hospitable man-
sion, that he might be the better able to study hia eaae^
and administer to hia medical wants. The good doctor
had a lovely and most amiable daughter; — the rest may
be readily imagined: the patient ventured to preacribe
for himself — the disease having reached the heart, and ra-
qairittg prompt meaaurea — and in 17i7 Miaa Jane Mary
Nugent became Mrs. Edmund Bnrke, The eulogy of this
estimable woman may be written in one sentence of her
husband's ; he declared that amid all the trials, the oon-
flicts, and tbe disappointments of political life, "ereiy
eare vanished the moment be entered under his own roo^"
She who can thus convert her husband'a " caatle" into k
palace of pleasure and "bower of delights," finds her
priceleaa reward where ahe seeks it, in the affection of her
bnsband; and in the present ease, what higher honour
could be eoveted and aequired which oonld add anght of
dignity to the proud title of— the wife of Edmund Burke I
Two aona were the reault of thia happy union ; Richard,
who died unmarried in 1794, and Christopher, who was

mention here, that the present lineal representative of Mr.
Burke'a branch of bia family is Thomaa Haviland Burke,
Eaq., of Lincoln's Inn, grand-nephew to Edmund Burke,
and son of Lieut. Col. Thomas Haviland, by Mary French,
danghtar of Juliana Burke. In April, 1767, was published
by Dodsley, An Account of the European Settlements ia
America, 2 vols. Svo. Notwithstanding the many doubts
expreased aa to the authority of thia work, we hare no
heaitation in aaoribing it chiefly, if not wholly, to onr
author. Whilst it ia admitted that the reeeipl for the
copyright in hia handwriting doea not conclusively settle
tha question, yet the internal evidence of style is too
strong to be easily resisted. That William and Riohaid
Burke may have contributed to its pages is not improbable,

Dugald Stewart commends it as a masterly sketch, and
Ahhi Raynal has proved his admiration by the free use
which he has made of it in bia history of The ReTolntton
of America, 1780.

In 17S9 the Earl of Charlemont intndnoed Burfca to
William Qerard Hamilton, more familiarly atyled Bingle-
Bpeeeh Hamilton,

" Who after a turn able efliDrtaIn the Honae of Oommona, gained
more celebrity by afterwaida keeping bla tongue atfll, than aoany
othera by the most determined TmabtUtj.**

In 1781 Hamilton aoeompanied Lord Halifiut (appointed
Lord-Lieutenant) to Ireland, and took Burke with him aa
hia private aecretoty. Hr. Hamilton held the high official
poaition of a Lord of Tnde, and had diligently laboured
to aequire that knowledge of the philosophy of commeroe
and principles of agriculture, which alone could render
the discharge of his dntiea honourable to himaelf and use-
ftd to others. But a few oonToraationa with hia young
Moretaty eonrinoed him that, in future eonfereneea, the
master moat oonssnt to be scholar, rather than aspire to
the post of inatmctor. The following remarka, extracted
from the preface to the Thoughts and Detaila on Scareity,
presented by Mr. Burke to the Bt. Hon. William Pitt, are
not without Interest in this oonneetion :

" Agrlealtuie, and the commeroe connected with and dependent
npon It, farm one of the most eonaidmble bmochea of political
econanr ; and aa such, Mr. Bnrke diligently etndled them. In-
deed, when he began to qnallff himaelf fac the exalted rank which
he afterwaida hdd among aUteanen, he laid a broad and deep
fimndatlon; and to an aeenrate reaearch Into the eonatltatfcm,
the lawa, the drll and mDIUry hlstofy of theaa kingdoms, he

and the greatest deS»«nce was paid to bla oplnlona. by Dr. Adam
Smith, In the progreaa of the celebrated work on Ibe Wealth of
Matkna.''

In this station, his first public employment, Bnrke prored
rery serriceable, and in 17t3 was rewarded with a pension
of £300 per annum on the Irish lisL This pension he
TOlnntarily relinqniahed in 17t4, on the occaaion of a dia-
■greement with Hamilton, the particulars of which are
well known. In 170& occurred an event whieh decided
the future conrse of Burke's life, and introduced him to
Uiot seat In the national councils flrom which he so long
instmclad his countrymen by his wisdom, and astonished
Uie worid by the brilliancy of his genius. Hr. Fitxherbert
iMommended him to the Marqnis of Rockingham, the
leader of the Whigs in power, as a fit person for his pri-
Tota secretary, and hia lordahip appointed him to the post
one week after he himaelf had been called to the head of
tha,t>easary. A oordial friendship spmng up between the
■orqnisand hia secretary, which oonUnnt^ unbroken until
the death of the former in 1782. In 1700 Mr. Burke took
his seat in Parliament as member for Wendover, a borough
belonging to Lord Vemey.

"Itmajbesafdysaidtbat piabably no man bad erer entered
Parifaunent so well trained and aooompUahed by prerloua aoanlre-
nents, and by Intallectnal diadpUne.''

It is not a little remarkable that on the Teiy first day
on which he took hia aeat, he aatoniahed the assembled
wisdom of the House with a burst of eloquence which
elicited the warm commendations of the celebrated Wil-
Bom Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham. He remarked that

" The young member had prored a rery able adrocata; be had
himself Intended to enter at length into the details, bnt he had
been anticipated with ao much Ingenuity and eloquence, that there
waa little left far him to aay ; he congmtnlated him on bla aucceaa,
and bla Manda oa the ralna of the aeqnialtlon they had made."

Hia ftiends, who had bean his delighted auditors in the
gallery, crowded aioand him — the bithfbl Arthur Murphy
among them, almost beside himself with joy — as he
•merged from the Honae, and oongratolated him upon his
brilliant saooeaa. The good news traTelled fast, and toon

This work was translated into French by M. Dnpont, and
at once took a strong hold of the publio mind of Europe.
It was elaborated with great can, more than a doaen proob
being worked off and destroyed before the classical taate
of the author was satisfied. Within the first year ahost
19,000 copies were sold in England, and about 13,000 in
France. The first demand continued in England until
30,000 copies were absorbed; and some experienced boiA-
sellers have declared that the sale was greater than of any
preceding book whatever of the same price, (5 shillinn.)

foudly Tened in sacred and elaasie lore— presented their
admiring acknowledgments to the cbampioa who had so
eloquently and ably defended those principles for the ad-
Taaoemeat of which it was their proYinoe to labour. The

only Inftllible refuge for man amidat the calamities and

The pablication of opinions so hostile to the Engliah
lympathizera with the French Revolutionists— soon regi-
cides— prodaoed oonfnsion in their ranks, and hastened that
sepaimtian between Bnrke and Fox which sooner or later
seemed inevitable. On the 6th of Hay of tbe next year,
oeeoTTed that memorable scene — the rupture l>etween these
distinguished men — to the pathos and interest of which
neither pen nor pencil ean do jnstiee. The aobjeet before
the House was thi Canada Bill, and Mr. Burke opened the
debate. Previous to the recess, Mr. Fox had, by implica-
tion, thrown out a challenge to Burke to discuss the vexed
qneation of the French Revolution. Mr. Bnrke had no
opportaaity to reply before tbe next meeting of the House.
In hii opening apeeeh he adverted to it, bat was immedi-
atalj eaUad to order by Mr. Fox, as touching on forbidden
poonds. Mr. Bnrke, surprised by this rudeness, attempted
a reply, hut was again and again interrupted by Fox, with
whoa others now Joined, and Burke listened with asto-
nishment and mortifleation whilst the late ftiend of his
heeom assailed him with the bitterest irony and keenest
inveetive, only made the more poignant by professions of
naboaded admiration of his genius and abilities. Mr.
Borke at length was allowed an opportunity to reply. He
ran amidst profound silence, for there was something in
that onraiBed brow, something in that eye, and In the tones
tt thateloqnent voice which bad so long " taught senators
wisdon," and under whose rebuke the proudest nobles of
Hie land had often stood abashed — something there was
which told every beating heart that this would be a day
long to he remembered by tbe Commons of Snglsnd. He
eompl^ned of "being treated with harahnesa and malig-
nity, for which the motive seemed nnaoeoantable ;— of be-
iog persoaally attacked tnm a quarter where he least ex-
pected it, after an iatimaey of more than twenty-two years ;
•f bis pablie sentiments and writings being garbled, and
kis eonSdcntial eommnnieations violated, to give colour to
an aqjost eliarge; and that though at his time of life it
was al>vioasly indisereet to provoke enemies, or to loss
ftisaids, a« ha eaald not hope for the opportnnily necessary
ta aeqirfr* othort, yet if his steady adherence to the British
constitation placed him in snob a dilemma, he would risk
an, and as pablie duty and public prudence taught him,
with his last Ineath, exclaim, ' Fly from the French oon-
MitBtioa."' Mr. Fox was alarmed at the eonscqnenees of
his iadiseretioa ; he whispered to the Mend who had long
loved and borne with him, " There is no loas of friend-
ship I" " Tes, there is 1" replied Burke ; " I know the price
at my eondnet I I have Indeed made a great saoriflee : I
have done my duty, though I bare lost my friend !" A
pdnftal scene now ensued. Fox rose in great agitation. Ho
tocabted at the results of his folly; and felt that his pu-
■ishaacnt was more than he could bear. In vain be essayed
to speak, and he stood the picture of contrition before the
Hooac, until at last nature found relief in tears. He turned
to the IViend whose feelings he had so deeply outraged —
that friend, too, one of the noblest of bis kind : be con-
jaied him in the most pathetic terms — by " the remem-
fitaiiee of their paat attachment — their unalienable iriend-
ahip — their reciprocal affection, as dear and almoat as
hiading as the ties of nature between father and son, — he
aanjnred him to rarokc his renunciation and forget the
pact f Bat, aafiMianately, after all this burst of grief
aad aflsetion, foolishly — nnacconntably — for soma demon

seemed to have entered into Fox that anhappy day — h%
again gave Ioom to the Inoty which appeared to aotoata
him — and again and again tended. The hreacli wac.
never healed.

In 1794 Mr. Borke was struck to the earth by a blow
which robbed life of its attractions, and rendered him in-
ditTerent to the trappings of rank with which bis sovereign
had purposed to honour bis declining years. In the spring
of that year he had followed his only and beloved brother
to the grave, and before autumn had changed tbe foliage
of the woods, his son, an only son, wss called to the " nar-
row house appointed for all living." Young Burke had
aceepted a post in Ireland, but

It ii hardly necessary at this day to do more than briefly
notice the alleged identity of Mr. Burke with the author
of the Letters of Junius. At one time it was generally
believed that he was tbe author, and Mr. Roche made out
so strong a case in his Inquiry that even tbe quick-witted
Anti-Jacobin Review was completely convinced, as tha
following verdict testifies :

" We bel It our duty before we enter Into any jpartlealara r*'
apeetlng thta work, to declare, that it tas fMi) ammfuxi ua of the
truth which It la Intended to eatabllah :— that the Uttera of Jn-
nlna were written by tbe Right Honourable Edmund Burke. Mr.
Roche haa. Indeed, brought together aucb a body of evidence. In-
ternal, direct, and dreumstanltel, aa muat erentnally aattle this
Interesting and Kmg-dlaputed queatton."

We ahall not Iw expected to give any opinion upon a
point on which most literary men have their own theonr*
The matter will be adverted to again in our notice of ei*
Phiup Fbaiccis. That Mr. Bnrke at least knew who the
•ntlior was, we have good reason to believe, — bnt he " died
and made no sign." Wo know an English gentleman who
protests that he possesses the secret, and be may reveal
something further.

Of all those speeches by which he sequired such renown^
Mr. Bnrke prepared the following only for the press : 1.
On American Taxation ; delivered April 9, 1774. 2. On
Conciliation with America; March 22, I77&. 3. On Eco-
nomioal Reform ; Feb. 20, 1780. 4. At Bristol, previous
to the Election ; September C, 1780. 6. On Deoliuing tha
Bloetion at Bristol; September 9, 1780. 8. On tbe East
India BiU of Mr. Fox ; December I, 1783. 7. On the
Nabob of Arcot'a Debts, Feb. 28, 1785. All of tiiese, with
the exception of that On Eoonomioal Reform, will l>e
found in the Rev. Dr. Chauneey A. Goodrich's Select Bri-
tish Eloquence, where the reader may also pemsc an ad-
mirable analysis of Mr. Burke'a characteristics aa an an-
thor and an orator. Tbe great speech of July It, 1794,
On the Impeachment of Warren Hastings, Mr. Bnrke

by these great masters. We shall now, in justice to the
illustrious subject of our notice, and that we may not be
suspected of eztraTagance in the eulogies for which we
are personally responsible, quote from the recorded opinion
of a number of his contemporaries and successors :

** There never vai a more beantlfnl alUuioe between virtue and
<aleata. All bis coneeptkinB were kind, all hia aentimenta gme-
roua . . . The sabUmest talenta, the greatest end rarest Tirtoes
that the benoftcenee of Provldenise erer oonoentrated In a single
character for the benefit of mankind. But Mr. Burke was too an-
perlor to the age In whfeh he llrad. Hti propbetk; genius only
astonished the natk>n which It ought to have goremed.** — M.

GAULis.

« I do not reckon It amongst the least calamltlea of the times,
oert&lnly not among thoae that affect me least, that the world has
now lost Mr. Bnrkeu Oh I how much may we roe that his connaela
were not followed. Oh 1 how exactly do we aee verified all that he
has predicted I"— Winbbam.

" He must again repeat that all he ever knew of men, that all
he ever read in books, that aU his reasoning fiicuUlee infimned
him of, or his flincy suneeted to him, did not Impart that exalted
knowledge, that snpenor information, which he had acquired
from the leeaona of his right bononiable friend. To him he owed
aU his fcma, if flune be bad any. And If he (Mr. Fox) abonld
now, or at any time, prevaU over him In dlsenaskin, be could ac-
knowledge his gratitude for the capability and pride of the con-
quest In telling him * Hoe Ipanm quod Tindt Id est tnnm.' " — Mr.
Foa^g aptitdi in tlu Houat t^ Oomwunu on the ooooMion iffkitng^htn
wOh Mr. Atrkt.

At the moment of proposing Mr. Burke's interment in
Westminster Abbey, he again repeated the same acknow-
ledgments in terms which, in the words of a member in
attendance, "drew tears from erory one present who had
any feelings at all, or could aympatbixe in the ezccUeuoe
of the great genius before them, or with the still greater
•zoellence of the genius who had departed."

** Burke understands every thing but gaming and musle. In
tiM House of Commons 1 sometimes think Um only the second
nan in England ; out ttf It he Is always the flrsi."— OsEAan Ha-

MfLTOIV.

** The admiration, nay astonishment, with which I so often list-
ened to Mr. Burke, gave an tntereet to every root connected with
his memory, and foidMy brought to my rectdiectlon the profttn-
dl^ and extent of his knowledge, while the energy, warmth, and
beauty <tf his Imagery, eaptarod the heart, and made the judgment
tributary to the will. As an orator be surpassed all his contem-
poraries, and waa perhaps never exceeded." — Ctnwxir.

Another contemporary remarks :

''The polltkal knowledge of Mr. Bnrke might be considered al-
most as an Kncydopsedla: every man who approached him re-
eled Instruction fltmi his stores."

One who generally opposed him in polities acknowledges
that

** Learning waited upon bim as a handmaid, presenting to his
eholoe all that antiquity had called or invented; he <^en seemed
to be (^pressed under the load and variety of his Intellectual trea-
sures. Every power of oratory was wielded by him In turn ; for
be could be during the same evening pathetic and humorous,
aerimonkras and ooncfllating: now giving a loose to hla Indigna-
tion and severity, and then, almoat In the same breath, calling to
UTaadatanee rldlenle, wit, and modtery."

Another political opponent remarks :

** As an orator, notwithstanding some defecta, he atanda alnoat
unrivalled. No man was better oUculated to arouse the dormant
passions, to call forUi the glowing affecilona of the human heart,
and to ' harrow np* the inmost receanee of tlie soul. Tenallty and
meanness stood appalled In bis presence : be who was dead to the
feellnga of hla own eonadenoe waa still alive to fall animated re-
proaches ; and corruption for a while beeame alarmed at the ter-
rora of his eonntenaooe.**

*' His learning is so variona and extensive that we might fwalse
It for Ita range and compaaa were It not still more praiseworthy
for Its adidl^ and depth. His imagination b so lively and so crea-
tive, that he may justly be called the child of Ikncy: and, there-
fore, his enemies, for even he Is not witbont them, would persuade
US that his fonoy overbean his Judgment. , . . His grand charao-
teriatle la genius^ and his ruling fkculty is JudgmenC . . . Whllat
he persuades as an orator, he Instructa as a nhlloeoiAker." — Rsv.
TaoXAS Campbiu, atMor of tMe EHitaiy qf Jrwmd.

** Of his talenta and aoqnlrementa In general. It is unneoeeaaiy
to speak, nwy were long the glory of hla country and the admi-
tatlon of Europe ; they m%fat have been (had It conristed with the
Inscrutable oounaela of Divine Providence) the aalvatlon of both.
If not the moat aeeompllshed orator, yet the most eloquent man
of his age, perhaps seotmd to none In any a^e, be had still more
wladoa thu eloqnenee. He dUlgentlr ecdleeled It ften the wise

Tast treasury of his own observation.'' — Da. Fanrcii LAintBTrcs,

" When he ba« roused us with the tfaundera of his eloqnenr^

*^ That volume of voice, that superabundant richness and for-
tuity of &ncy, that vast grasp and range of mind, which Mr.
Burke possessed beyond all created beings."

On one occasion Mr. 6haekletOD, after listening to some
of Burke's eonversational eloquence, remarked aside to the
orator's son, " He is the greatest man of the age." " He is/'
replied the son, with filial enUinsiasm, "the greatest man
of any age !" It is to bo here obserred that Bni^e, with
that remarkable modosty which so eminently diatinguished
him, and which prerented his making a eolleetion of hia
writings, considered bis son's talenta as far superior to hia
own. Wilberforee remarked :

^ His eloquence had always attracted, his Imagination eontlnii-
ally charmed, his rtiasonlngs often convinced, hhn. Of his head
and his heart, of his abiUtios and of his humanity, ctf his rectitude
and peraereranoe, no man eonld ent^taln a higher opinion than
he did."

*' When the pnblle mind waa darkened that It could not diseem,

gan suddenly to redden : It was the dawn. Then, Indeed,

" Let me speak what my mind prompta of the eloquence of
Burke; of Bnrke, by whose sweetness Atnena herself would tuive
lM»en soothed, with whose amplitude and exuberance slie would
have been enraptured, and on whose lips that prcdifle mother of
genius and sHeaee would have adored, omfessed, the Goddess of
Perauaslon. . . . Who Is there among men of eloquence or kamli^
more profoundly versed in every branch of science f Who Is there
that has cultivated philosophy, the parent of all that la lllnstrious
in literature or exploit, with more felicitous sucresat . . Ulio Is
there that combines the ebana of invisible naee and urbanity with
su^ magnMoent and boundless expansion r'— Da. Pabb. See these
opinions and othera In Prior's Life of Burke.

In conversation Burke was as unrivalled as In oratory*
Johnson was tbe first man in the literary oiroles of London
when Bnrke was absent, but he knew himself to be only
second In the prosenoe of Burke. It was a " striking speo-
tacle to see one so proud and atubbom, who had for years
been accustomed to give forth his dicta with the authority
of an oracle, submit to contradicUon from a youUi of
twenty-seven. But though Johnson differed from Bnrke
in politics, he always did bim justice. He spoke of him
fVom the first in terms of the highest respect." He re-
marked to BoBwell :

*" I do not grudge Burke's being the first man In the House of
Commons, for he is the first everywhere.' * Bnrke,' be remarked
upon another occasion, * Is an extraordinary man. His stream of
talk is perpetual; and he does not talk trcmi any deidre of dlsttne-
tlon, but because his mind is fniL . . . He is the only man whoee
common conversation corresponds with tbe general fome which
he haa In tho world. Take him up where you pkase, he is ready
to meet you. ... No man of sense could meet Burke bv accident
under a gateway, to avoid a shower, without being convmoed that
he waa the flrat man In £ngland.**

'* A striking confirmation of this remark occurred some yeara
after, when Mr. Burke was paaslnK through Lichflsld, the birth-
place of Johnson. Wishing to see the Cathedral, during the cban^
of horses, he stepped into the building, and was mot by one of the
clergy of tbe place, who kindly trffered to point out the princifel
objecta of eurloeity. A conversation ensncd, but in a fcw momenta
tbe clergyniau's |»ide of local tefbrmatlon was completely subdued
by tbe copious and Intricate knowledge dlspl^ed mr the stranger.
Whatever topic the obiects before them suggested, whether the
theme was arrhitecture or antiquities, some obernre pasnge In
eecleidastlcal history, oraomequeatkm respectlngtfaellfeofaralnt,
he touched it as with a sunbeam. His Information appeared nnl>
versal ; his mild, clear Intallect, without one particle of Ignoranee^
A few minutes after their separation, the clergyman waa met hur>
rylng through the street ' I have had,' said he, ' quite an adven*
tura. I have been couvendng for this half hour past with a man
of tbe most extraordinary powera of mind and extent of Informs
tlon which It haa ever been my fortune to meet with ; and I am
now gtrfng to tlie Ina to ascertain, If possible, who this strangeT
Is.* Johnson considered that be would have excited as mnch won-
der In much lower oompnnv. ' If he should go Into a stable, and
talk a few minutes with the hostlen about horses, they would
venerate him as tbe wisest of human beings. They would Wf»
We have had an extraordinary man here.' ... In spesktngof Mr.
Burke's social hours, tbe late Mr. 0 rattan observed to several
fVlends, that he was the greatest man In oonversatlon he had met
with. A nobleman who was present (Lord C.^ Inquired whether
he did not think Cnrran on some ocraslons greatn'. * Nn, nv Lord,*
was the reply ; * Cnrjan Indeed bad much wit: but Burke bad wit
too, and, In addition to wIL boundless storsa of wkidom and toew

Vhea some one eulogized Johnson's powers of conyer-
sation, " fiat," replied Goldsmith, " U he like Burke, who
winde into his sahject like a serpent?"

It is worth notknag here tb»t Mr. Burke himself oonsi-
dered Mrs. Anne Pit^ sister of the miniitter at the head of
the cabinet^ as " the most perfectly eloqaeot person he ever
heard speak. He lamented not having committed to paper
one particular eonrersation in which Uie richness and va-
ried of her diaoourse quite astonished him." We hope
that our readers will appreciate the gallantry which causes
w to introduioe ttis aneedote.

*■ It would not be dlffleolt to multiply errldeiMei of the vast atorei
<f knowledge which Ur. Burke wemstohaTe elwayi had on hand
nadjtirnseatamcwHat'fl notice. Onoaaoccsjlon he dined with
a partr* where he met vith an ecdeshstkal dignitary who surprised
the eompaay hy starting * sul^)ects of eonTermtton so abntnue or
nnumal, that few of hla bearers felt IncHned or qualified to aeeom-
jany Um.' Mr. Burtce asld nothing far some ttme; but when the
geaUeman eommitted an emv in faW detail of some of the operar
ttottiof CissarluBritsia,lieimmedlstelyoorraetedhtm: thaeleigy-
maa boved wtthont ssaklng any reply. He then brought up for
Ascuflsloit the Bserits of some obaenre lAtln authors, and was ^•
Ing a quoCatloa, when Mr. Burke reminded him that he had not
rendarvd properly two or three irords of the sentence. Agshi he
introdweed to ttie notloeof the eompany a description ofa rsre old
T^une^ ■ eontalnlng some curious geographical details.' Here at
leut he WW safe from the formidable crttlo I Not at aU : Mr. Burke
took the rabjeet out of his hands, andeommentedonitastf it had
been an eraryday matter.

■* At the eoBclmdoa of the erenlng Mr. RSchards and the Arch-
Jsaeon walked hcfne together. *■ Sir,' obserred the former, ' I ad-
mfaed your patlenee when so repeatedly, and I dare say> nnnece»
auily. Interrupted by Mr. Burke; for, from the nature of your
studies, yeu must be a more competent judge of such matters than
the boaUe of politics ean permit him to be.' ' Mr. Burke was nevei^
thsfasa r%htf and I was wrong,' replied the Archdeacon: *nay
more ; I confess I went preTlonsly prepared to speak on these sub-
jeeta, for knowing that I was to meet him, and hearing that he
waa acquainted with almost every thing, I had determined to put
Ilia knowledge to the test, and for this purpose had spent much
e4' the morning In ny study. My memorji howeTer, has been
more treeichennu thau I had Imagined.' "

If the men perusal of Burke's speeches aflfect us so
powerfully, what must hare heen tbe emotions of his audi-
twj! The Duke de Levis heard one of his philippics
a^^iiBt the French Revolution, and he declares that

** Ibis extraordinary man seemed to raise and quell the passions
of hfai auditory with es much ease and as rapidly as a skilful mu-
ilclaii pasees Into the various modulations w his harpsichord. I
have wftneassd many, too many, political assemblages, and strik-
ing aBsoea, wbsre eloquence periMined a noble part, but the whole
of them appear Insipid when compared with thu aoaaslng effort Jf

When he punted the cruelties of Debi Sing in bis speech
on the impeachment of Warren Hastings, the writer of the
History of the Trial tells us

u In this part of his speech Mr. Burke's descriptions were more
virSd, more harrowing, and mora horrific, tlian human utterance,
er cithrer feet or fency, perhaps ever formed before. The agitation
ef most people was very apparent: Him. Sheridan ms so orerpow-
eced that aha folnted : sereral others were as powerfully aflBcted.**

Hra. Siddons is said to hare been one of the numi>er
thus OTerooma by a mightier eloquenoe than any known to
the stega.

The " flinty chancellor," Lord Thurlow, albeit unused to
the melting mood, was so visibly affected, that ** iron tears
down PInio*s cbeek" was very near to being something more
than a simile of tiie orator's.

** Ijb hla address to the Peers, Bome days afterwards, be concluded
a haadsame euloglum on tbe speech, by obserTlng thai their ' lord-
ships an knew uie effect upon the auditor*, many of whom had
not to that moment, and perhaps never would, recover ftom the
ifeack it ted oeeasioned."'

**Ttae testimony of tbe accused party himself Is perhaps the
sfauaaert ever bonie to the powers of any speaker of any country.
'Vor nidf an hour,* said Mr. Hastlnga, *I looked up at the orntcw
la a reverie ct wonder; and during that space I actually felt my-
mU the most culpable man on earth ;' adding, however, — ' but I
1 to my own bosom, and there found a consciousness that
1 me under all I heard and all I suffered.* '*—iVior*« lAft

Was tiiere ever an Instance of such exquisite hypocrisy,
or of such utter callonsneKs of soul? But we leave this
motml phenomena for Dr. Gleig's anatomical powers. It
was enough to excite a momentary pang of remorse even
fn the flinty heart of that man of blood and spoils, to bear
himself thus most accurately depicted by the Indignant
doqnenee of the first orator in the world :
"Tlieigfoce hath It with all confidence been ordered by the Com-
I of Great Britain, that I impeach Warren Hastings of high

■dsdesBeaaonrsI
Impeaeh him In the name of the Commons House of Parlio*

, whose trust he has betrayedl

** I Impeach him in tbe name of the CngUsh nation, whose au-
dsnt hoaour be has sullledl

** I taapveh Um la tbe name of the people of India, whose rights
be bos tiodden under foot, and whose country 1m has turned Into
ndeSRtl lastly* la the name of hnmau nature Itself In the
name of both saxes, la the name of every age, in the name of
ofeiy laaky I Imnwiiti the ecuammi enemy and oppressor of alll"

Well said Mr. Fox,

" If we are no longer In shameftil ignorance of India ; If India
no longer makes us blush In the eyes of Europe ; let us know and
feel our oblfgatlonB to him whose admirable resources of opinion
and affection— whose untiring toll, sublime genius, and h^h as-

SUing honour, raiaed him up conspicuous among tlie most bene-
cent worthies of manklndr' — ^eah on tht /lajwacAawnf ^ War^
r9S^ Hattinffs.

Burke himself calls this groat work — the arraignment
of Hastings — '* tliat principal act which is to bo the glory
or the shame of my whole pablie life." — Work*, edit.
1853, ii. 309.

Bheridati's tribute to Burke is worthy of his genius :

" A gentleman whose abllittos, happily for the glory of the age
In which we live, are not Intrusted to the perishable eloquence of
the day, but will lira to be tbe admiration of tlmt hour when all
of us shall be mute, and most of us forgotten.**

The distinguished Schlegel is eloquent in his praise:

" This man has been to hla own country and to all Kurope — In
a very particular manner to Cbrmany — a new light of political
wiadom and moral experience. Ue corrected his age when it was
at the height of Its revolutionary frenay ; and without maintain-
ing any system of pblloaophy, h« seems to have seen ferther into
the true nature of society, and to have more clearly oomprebended
tbe efl^ of religion In connecting Individual security with na»
tlonal weipue^ ttum any philoeophen or any system of philoaophyi
of any succeeding age."^£bJU«pers ttcturti on Literature.

Robert Hall, himself a great master of eloquence, touches
a loftier note than is usual even with him, when speaking
of Burke:

" Who can withstand tbe fesdnation and magic of his eloquence ?
The excursious of his genius are Immense I His imperial fen<7'
has laid all nature under tribute, and has cc^lected rkbes tKm
every acene of the creation and every walk of art I"

'* The Inunortallty of Burke is that which Is c<mkmon to Cicero
or to Bacon, — that which can never be Interrupted while there ex-
ists the beauty of order or the love of virtues and which can fear no
death except what barbarity may impose on the globe."-GBAn'A!r.

Mr. Qrattan may be charged with extravagance in plac-
ing Burke upon a par with Cioero and Bacon, but many
capable critics are not satisfied with this rank, and assign
him a still higher place. Sir James Mackintosh hsrSy
allows to the great master of ancient eloquence, or to the
profound father of modem philosophy^ an equality with
him who combined the excellencies of both :

" Shakspeare and Burke are, If I may venture on the expresdon,
above talent Burke was one of the first Uilnkers, as well as one
of the greatest orators, of his time. He is without parallel in any
ageoroountry, except perhaps Lord Bacon orCicero; and Ait worJks

The reader must not fail to procure A Memoir of tbe
Political Life of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke, 2 vols,
p. 8vo, by tbe Rev. George Croly, LL.D., Aector of Si,
Stephen's, Wallbrook, London.

** V'e have quoted enough, and more than enough, to convince
the most skeptle&l of the originality, eloquenoe, and power of these
remarkable volumes. We regard them as a valuable contribution
to our national literature, aa an effectual antidote to rev<dutlonary
iHlttcli^es, and as a masterly analysis of the mind and writings of
the greatest philosopher and stetesman in our Ustoiy.**— The JBr^
tannia.

Mr. Warren thus warmly commends the polttieal writ-
ings of our great author to the reverence of the stndent
at Law:

*' The political writings of the lUustrious Edmund Burke need
be mentioned, only, to vindicate their claim to the conUnual p^
rosal — the earnest study, of all who are capable of ^predatlnf
the display of profound wisdom, set forth in enchanting eloquenc^
made contributory to the advancement of the permanent and
highest Interests of mankind, and capable of Indeflnltely elevat-
ing and expanding the feelings and understanding — but vain is
tbe tuk of attempting to do justke to writings upon which pane-
gyric has long ago exhausted ItsdC Out ofa thoumnd witnesses,
let us select the testimony at one only— one, however, who has a
paramount title to the attention and deference of Uiat Bar, of
which he was one of the brightest ornaments— Lord Krsklne.
'Among the characteristics of Lord Ersklne's eloquence,' obeervee
the late accomplished Mr. Henry Roscoe, 'the perpetual lllustra-
tlous derived fVom the writings of Burke, is very remarkaUa In
every one of tbe great stete trials in which he was coocemBd, he
referred to the works of that extraordinary person, as to a text-
book of political wisdom, — expounding, enforcing, and Justify tng,
all the great and noble principles of freedom and Justice.' Lord
ErsUne himself baa left on record hia impressive testimony to the
same efliMt: * When I look into my own mind, and find ite best
ligfate and principles fed from that Immense magaxine of moral
and political wisdom, which he has left as an inheritance to man-
kind for their Instruction, I feel myself repelled by an awftal and
grateftti sensthOity ftom petulantly approediing him.' "— Hdrren's
low SbkUtM, Lon., 1845, 12mo.

The following testimonies are of equal value :

*' The writing* of that eminent man whom posterity wfll regard
as the most eloquent of orators, and tbe most profound of tbe phi-
losophic stetesmen of modem times.**— Sir Robsrt Pkku

*' The Speeches be made will be the sulitfect of admiration for all
succeeding generations.*'— Lorn Jobm Rcbsill.

of Edmund Burko : " the King's daughter waa all glorlons

we are not called upon to deplore the onion of splendid
talent* and degrading vices, of public philanthropy and
prirale Tonality : the spotless ermine covers no hidden eor-
ruption. Of this we have abnndant evidence :

** The unspotted Innocence, the firm Integrity of Burke," aays
Dr. Parr, " want no emblasoolng, and If be la aocuatouied to exact
a rigoroua account of the moral conduct of othera, It la JuatMad
in one who ahuns not the moat Inqulaltorial lemtlny Into falaown.'*

The Rev. Mr. Crabbe, whom Bnrke raised from a posi-
tion of want and distraai to eompetaney and oomfort,
tpaaka in glowing tanu

"Of his private worth, of Ms wlahaa to do good, of bla aUhbHIty

" A much higher featttra of bla character than wit, waa a fervent

patriot, and the Christian :

" His end was salted totheslasple graatnees of mind which he
displayed thraugh life, even way unaihrtart, without levity, vrlth-
oat oatBtttatloa, full of natural grace and dignity ; be appeared
nelthar to wlah nor to dread, bat patiantly and placidly to await,

In eoafonnity with tha diraations of hi* will, na wai

Viewed in the light of the prasant aga, how great if oar
admiratioa of that foresight which fontold, and that wis-
dom which would have averted, tba itonns which aenaead
the peace and well-being of his eonntty I Impartial in hi*
jndgment, unswayed by every wind of political doctrine,
because based apon the rock of truth, ha as lealonsly de-
nonncad that arbitraiy power which oppreaead tha Ameri-
can Coloniei, as ha rebakad that horricane of ter«e da-
mocraoy which •wept the throne and the altar from Franoau
and involved the Court and the Commonalty in a general
ruin. Had his ooanael been followed, Warran Haatingi
would have expiated hia crimes on the icalfold, and tha
yorld would have lacked a Napoleon to iUnstrata tha de-
pravity of his taea. Burke's pnfalie labours present a eon-
tlnnon^ •tmggle agninat tfia •tnpidity, the obstlDacy, and
the venality, of the poliMcians of his day. His life, there-
fore, cannot be said to have been a happy one, for happi-
ness dwells not amidst ceaseless vexations ; and no man
can " possess his soul in peaoa" whose philanthropy itimn-
latas him to the dnty of enlightening the ignorant, tafora-
ing the vicious, and anbdaing the rafVactory. He does
well ; he acts nobly ; he ftalflls the end of hia being ; and
if he have the spiritoal prerequisites, many will be his
eonsolations here, and great shall he his reward hate-
afler. But let him not expect mnch either of gratitude
or applause in Uiis life : malice will censure, envy defbma^
rivalry decry, the noblest motives and the wisest acta.
Tet posterity will do him Justice ; and generationa yet on-
hom ahall reverence his name, emulale his virtues, and
follow in his steps. Bis " good name shall be aa inherit-
ance to his children's children," and the "nmemhraneo
of the just shall be blessed r*

Behold an instance of this noble adToeaej of right, and
its appreciation by an admiring posterity, in the philan-
thropio labonra of Edmund BnAe, and the deep reverenoa
with which hia ebaracter is regarded In the present day I

In the three principal questions whieh exalted his inte-
rest, and called forth the most splendid displays of his elo-
qnence — the contest with the American Colonies, the im-
peaehmant of Warran Hastings, and the French Revoln-
tion — we aee displayed a philanUiropy the most pnie, illus-
trated by a genius the most resplendent In each of these
oases he was the friend of the oppressed, the rebnker of
the insolence of power, the excesses of petty tyranny, or
the fierce ragings of a successful and unprincipled demo-
oraoy. He waa ever the bold and nnoompromiaing cham-
pion of justice, mercy, and truth. Wiran his own sovereign
itretcbwl forth the hand of despotic power to afliat a suf-
fering nation, he forgot that " the king eonld do no
wrong," and pointed hia finger to a violated oonatitation
and broken laws I When a lamorsaless Verres ground to
the earth, by his exaotioas and erualty, a simple and eon-
fiding people whose rights and happiness he should have
malntilnad and oheriiuad, their cries entered into Um

Burnet, Gilbert, 1643-1715, a native of Edinburgh,
was sent at the age of ten to the University of Aberdeen,
where he took the degree of H.A. before he was 14. At
18 he was received as a probationer, and in 1665 was or-
dained priest in the Episoopal Chnreh, and presented to
the living of Saltoun. Two years previously be bad visited
Holland, and applied himself to the study of Hebrew
under a learned Jew. In 1669 he beesme Professor of
Divinity in the University of Glasgow ; Chaplain to the
King, preacher at the Rolls, and lecturer of St Clement's,
London, 1674, '05. In 1688 be attended Lord Russell to
the scsfibld, and being suspected of disalTection, thought
it prudent to retire to Paris. It is to be recorded to Ida
honour, that although oifeied the Bishopric of Chichester,
by Chwles IL, if he would embrace his cause, he refused
the overture, and wroto bira a faithital letter, exhorting
him to reform his licentious life and impolitic measures.

"I tdd thekhg, I hoped the relleetlan on what had belkllen
his ihtber on the 90th of January, might move him to consider
these things more carefViUy.'*

He returned to England in 1685, but again fled to Paris
on the accession of James II. in the same year. He tra-
velled for some time on the Continent, after which, at tha
invitation of the Prince and Princess of Orange — daugh-
ter and son-in-law to James II. — he took up his residence
at the Hague, and bore so prominent a share in the politi-
cal counsels of the court, that Jsmes IL

**Ordered a prosecution of High Treason to be commenced
against htm, and deoianded his person from the Btates^neraL
but without effect as he had prevlonsly acquired the rights er
natuimllzatton, by ftannlag a union — his first wife being dead—
with a Dutch lady of large fortune named Scott"

The influence of Bnmet in bringing about the Revela-
tion of 1688, and the accession of William and Mary, was
perhaps greater than that of any other person. He ae-
companied William to England as his chaplain, and took
an active part in the settlement of the new government.
In 1689 the king ofiered him the Bishoprio of Salisbury,
but with bis usu^ disinterestedness he begged him to con-
fer it on his old friend Dr. Lloyd. His majesty replied,
" I have another person in view," and next day nominated
Bnmet to the see, to which was added subsequently the
Chancellorship of the Order of the Garter. The new bi-
shop now lealously occupied himself with his literary and
official duties, leading a most iodostrioua and usefid Ufa
until the year 1715, when he was attacked with a plenritie
fever, which proved fatal on the 17th of Harch. The
bishop was a very voluminons writer : see list in Watf s

The celebrated History of his Own Times was left in
MS. at his death, with orders that it should not be puk
until six years after, when it was giren to the world with-
out alteration. The ftnt volnme, howerer, did not appear
until 1724, and the 2d was delayed nntil 1734. The work
was pnb. by his son Thomas. This interesting work has
been much abused by the Tories, and it has been a con-
venient target for the wits of such critics as Swift, Popey
Arbutbnot^-and others. The last attempted a parody nnder
the title of Memoirs of P. P., Clerk of this Parish. Dr.
Flexman pub. an edit of the Bishop's Own Times, witi
Notes, Ac, in 1753, ( vols. Svo. An edit was pub. at Ox-
ford, 1833, 6 vols. Svo, and the last edit appeared in 1847,
Lon., 2 vols. imp. 8vo, with Hist and Biog. Xotes, and 51
portraits. Snch men as the wits just named can bring any
writer into ridicule, but to impugn literary integrity is a
more difficult matter. We may venture something, but we
are willing to incur the risk, when we avow the opinion
that Bnmet is one of the most veracious chroniclers in the
language. It was the freedom of its strictures upon certain
pet characters that excited the satire of Pope and the ridi-
cule of Arbnthnot As for the terms "Silly Puppy,"
"Sootch Dog," "Canting Puppy," and snch other ele-
gancies of the kennel, of which Swift was so accomplished
a master, we doubt if they disturb the mane* of the worthy
prelate. It is an everyday thing to find a writer of some
centuries' standing accused of prejudice, misrepresentation,
misconception, Ac.; but how a critic, who lives two or
three hundred years after a certain occurrence has trans-
pired, ean understand it so much better than an eye or
ear-witness, we are too dull to discern. Dr. Johnson's
opinion, as recorded by Boswell, will serve as an instance
—though much lees eondemnatory than many — of what
we refer to :

" Burnet's History of his Own Times is verr entertaining. The
style. Indeed, Is mere chit-chat I do not believe that Burnet in.
tentlonally lied; but he waa ao much pr^udlced, that ho took no
pains to find oat the truth. Ha waa like a man who resolves to
regulate hia time by a certain watch ; but will not Inquire whether
the watch la right or not"

One might suppose that the doctor had roomed with the
bishop, at least : he seems to be so perfectly informed ai
to his habits.

Professor Smyth ia disposed to do our author more Jni-
tice than he has generally had accorded to him :

" '\>'batever he reporta hlmeelf to have heard or seen, the reader
may be araured be really did hear or see. But we must receive
his representations and conclusions with that caution which must
ever be observed when we listen to the relation of a warm and
busy partisan, whatever be hIa natuinl Integrity and good sense.
He Is often censured, and sometlmea corrected ; but the feet seems
to be, that without his original, and certainly honest account,
we should know little about the wants and affairs he profeases to
explain. Many of the wrltors who are not very willing to receive
his aaalstance, would be totally at a loss without It"- XecO.oa
Modtm HMovif,

We are glad to aee that our (for, although American-
bom, we claim all the SMrt'tortoii* Bnglish authors as ours)
latest historical commentator, Mr. Macanlay, defends th«
bishop against his accusers :

" It Is nsoal to oensnre Bunet aa a singularly luaceunte hla*
torian. but I believe the charge to be altogether unjust He ap«
pears to be singularly Inaccurate only because bis narrative baa
been subjected to a scrutiny singularly severe and unfHendly.
If any Whig thought It worth while to subject Betesbv's Hemolra,
North's Examon, Mulgrave's Account of the Revolution, or the
Life of James the Second, edited by Clarke, to a staallar scmtlny.
It would soon appear that Bnmet was indeed br ftnn being the
most Inexact writer of bis time."— fiut. <ff England.

Horace Walpole considers that the bishop's credulity, ai
he styles it, is a proof of his honesty, and {lays a deserved
compliment to the easy flow of his narrative :

"It seems as If be bad just oome fitMn the King's closet or fl>om
the apartment of the nun whom be describes, and was telling his
reader. In plain terms, what he had seen and heard."
Charles Lamb bears testimony to the same effect :
" I am reading Bumef s Own Times. Did you ever read that
garrulous, pleasant biatoryt Ibll of scandal, which all true blatoiy
Is ;— no palliatives, but all the stark wiekedneea that actually givea
the monentuM to naikmal actors >-nona of that cunied KnanVm
indlOCerence — so cold, and unnatural, and Inhuman," Ac.— XeMcrs.
As an ejr<em/x>re preacher the bishop waa so happy, that
his congregation dreaded his "finally" as much as his
severest official reprehension. Sir John Jekyl told Speaker
Onslow, that one day when he was present and the worthy
prolate bad " preached out the hour-glass" before he had
finished his subject, "he took it up, and held it aloft in
his band, and then tamed it np for another hour ; npoa

Pr. Johnson often ridiculed the peculiar notions enter-
tained by Monboddo; though, by-{ne-byy there were some
points of aimilarity between them, for Facte calla " Hon-
boddo an EUevir edition of Johnaon." When the author
of Rasselaa paid the modern Oreek a vlait, the latter pointed
to the Douglaa Anna in his honsa,- — "In such houses,"
said he, "our ancestors lived, who were better men than
we." "No, no, my lord," said Johnson: " we are aa atrong
as they, and a great deal wiaer." Monboddo was an advo-
cate of the auperiority of the savage state : he considered
that men were originally monkeys, and that • nation still
existed with tails.

" Dr. Johnson sttacked Lord Monboddo's strange speculation on
the primitive state of human nature. * Sir, It is all conjecture
about a thing useless, even were it known to be true. Knowledge
of all kinds is good. Oonjeetnra. as to things usalUI, la good ; but
eonjeetore aa to what would be useless to know, such as whether
Ben went upon all Iburs, is very idle. ... It Is a pity to see Lord
Monboddo publish such notions as he has done; a man of senssL
and of so mnch elegant learning. There would be little in a fool
doing It; we should only laugh : but when a wise man does it, we
an sorry. [Monboddo had written a prafiue to ttie trans, of Con-

dedication to Queen Mary. The English version is by no
means an exact transcript of the original ; there are addi-
tions, abridgments, and alterationa. The references to
e striatic literature are mnch fuller in the Latin than in ths
nglish. As regards ingenuity of hypothesis and majesty
of style, the work ia beyond praise; as a philosophical sys-
tem, it ia beneath criticiam. Oeological data, and the list
principlea of scriptural exegesia, are entirely neglected by
our fanciful theorist Addison complimented the anther

In 1727, 12 yaara aftar hia death, appeared Da F!de at
Ofioiia Cbriatianorum, and De Statu MortDorum et Reaur-
gentiam, the laat advocating the dootrine of the Millennium,
and the limited duration of Future Punishment. Burnet
liad a few copies prlratalj printed, but had no intention
of pnblishing a work wbioh he knew would elioit mneh
eensnre. Imperfect copies, however, got into oircnlation,
and Burnet's friend Wilkinaon determined to publish a
aoneet oditikn. In a 2d adit., pub. in 1733, an addition
was made to the last-naraad piece, entitled De futura Jn-
dseomm reatanratione, taken tnm Bnmef s MSS. He is

Bnraet, Thomas, d. 17S3, nephew of the above, and
third and youngest son of Bishop Burnet, was educated
at Merton College, after leaving which he became a stu-
dent of the Temple. The abstruse mysteries of Law
pleased him less than " good company," and he was in a
fUr way to be mined when he took a determination to
change bis course. His father, one day, observing his un-
aaoaUy grave countenance, asked him what he was medi-
tatingf "A greater work," replied the son, "than your
lordship's History of the Reformation." " What is that,
Tom V " My own reformation, my lord." " I shall be
heartily glad to see it," responded the father, " but almost
despair of it" Now we may pardon the bishop's lucre-
dnlity, when we are informed that the scapegraoe was
nspectad of being one of the wild "Mohocks" of whom we
read so much in the Spectator. Swift tells Stella,

" Tonng ]>aTenant tells us how be was set upon by the Mohocka,
aad how they raa bis chair through with a sword. It Is not safe
baiac la the streets at night Tbe Bishop of Salisbury's son Is
aaM to be of the gang. They ars all Whigs."

Tet the young man was better even than his word, he
Bot only Ihooght of reforming — he reformed, and became
OB* of the Boet prominent lawyers of his day, and in
1741 was made a Jnstioe of the Court of Common Pleat.
We have ahready referred to his having published hia fa-
ther's History of his Own Times, and he gave to the world

BHraer* Charles, Miu. Doc, 172A-1814, a natire of
Shrewsbury, waa educated at the free school there, and at
the public school of Cheater. His musical talent was de-
veloped under the instruction of the celebrated Dr. Ame.
In 174V he waa elected organist of a church in London,
and afterwards he officiated in the same capacity at Lynn,
when with Dr. Ame he composed the music of three
pieces for Drury Lane Theatre, — Alfred, Robin Hood, and
Queen Mab. In 1766 he brought forward at Dmry Lane,
The Cunning Man, from Rousseau's Devin du Village, and
adapted to his (R.'s) mnsio. In 1769 he received IVom
Oxford the degree of Doctor of Mnsio. In 1770 be tra-
velled on the Continent to procure materials for his Gene-
ral History of Music : of his ezcur&ions he pub. an ac-
count^ entitled The Present State of Music in France and
Italy, Ac in 1771, 8vo j 2d. edit, 1774, 8vo; and In 1773,
2 vola. 8vo, appeared The Present State of Music in Ger-
many, to. Joel Collier burlesqued this work in his Mu-
sical Travels through England, Lon., 1776, 8vo. Johnson
remarked, when referring to the composition of hii Tonr
to the Hebrides,

*■ I had the murical tonr of that dever dog Bnmey In my eye."

The General History of Mugio firom the earliest agea to
the present period, to which is prefixed a Dissertation on
(be Hnaio of the Ancients, appeared in 4 vols. 4to, Lon.,
1776-89. Sir John Hawkins's work on the same subject
was pub. complete in & vols. 4to, in the same year in which
the 1st vol. of Burney's History made its appearance —
1776. We find the following comparison of their merits
in the Harmonioon :

" Havo yon read Sir John Hawkins's History?
gome reiki think It quite a mystery ;
Both I hare, and I arer
That Barney's History I prefer."

The Monthly Reviewers, whose smile was Joy, and
whose frown was death, to many a trembling author of
the last century, give the preference altogether to Bumey :

" To Dr. B. the praise la justly doe, of having first beKun to
supply, In a masterly and able manner, a racuHy in our ISngllsb
iltaistura The literal vacancy, Indeed, on the ihelvaa of a library
was Oiled by another History of Music before this was compiled:
but the work before ua, we hesitate not to pronounce, la the only
one yet produced of Its kind. In our own, and, we bellere. In any,
lanKuage, that can be read with satMketlon by real Judges of the
subject: the only one, in which they will find any thing approach-
lag to an union of all the reqnitilea of a good musical historian :
—a thorough knowledge of the sniject; a sound and unpr^iudiad
iudgvufU ; critldsm equally supported by science and 1^ (ostc,
and much authentic and original iDformatloti. rendered more In-
teresting by a certain amtnitjff which Is the general character of
Dr. B.'a manner of writing, and which may beat be defined, as the
diametrical opposite to every tUng that we eoS daU and dry. We
do not recollect any literary undertaking, of equal labour both In
research and execution, where that labour Is more apparent to
the reader, when he ooiuiiicrt the work, or less evident while be
reads It"

This last compliment is one of the most graceful which
we remember. One of Burney's biographers remarks :

" Between the two rival histories, the public decision was loud
and Immadktte In ihronr of Dr. Bnmey. Time has madMed this
opinion, and brought the merits of tiach work to their Mr and
proper level,— and adjudging to Bnrney the palm of style, ar^
rangement and amualug narrative, and to Hawkins the credit of
minuter accuracy and deeper rracarch; more partli^ularly In the
points Interesting to the antiquary, and the literary world In
generaL"

Dr. Busby pub. in 18 IB a General History of Music,
abridged from the works of Barney and Hawkins, in 2
voU. 8vo. Dr. Johnson interested himself in assisting the
researches of bis friend, the Musical Doctor. He writes
to Dr. Wheeler, Nov. 2, 1778,

» Dr. Bnmey who brings this jiaper Is engajjed In a History of
Music, and having been told by Dr. Markham of some M8S. relat-
ing to hli snlject which are In the library of your college, [Trl-
nlty,] IsdeelrDns to examine them. He Is my Mend; and. tbere-
ftire, I take the liberty of entreating yonr Ikvour and assistance In
his ingulry.; and can assure yon, with great confldence, that If you
knew him, he would not want any Intervenlent solldtalion to oth
tain the kindness of one who loves virtue and karalng as voo
love tbem."

Od the same occasion, he invokes the good offlees of
Dr. Bdwards in behalf of Burney :

" The bearer. Dr. Bnmey. has had some account of a Welsh
manuscript In the Bodleian library, flmn which he hope* to gain
some materials Ibr Us History of Music; but being Ignoiant of
the language. Is at a kaa where to find aaslatairee. I make no
doubt but you, air, can help him through his dlfflcnltles. and,
therefbre, take the liberty of recommending him to vonr fkvonr,
as I am sura yon will find him a man worthy of everv'dvUIty that
can be shown, and every benefit that can be eonfitrred." See Bos-
welt s Ute of Johoson.

The energy and industry with which Bnmey pursued
his laborious undertaking, merit warm eommendstioa.
The four massive volumes were tha produeti he tella u,
" of moments stolen ttom sleep, fVom refleetion, and fVvm
an occupation which required alt the author's attention
during more than twelve hours a day, for a great part of
the year." See preface to the General History of Muaio.

The Commemoration of Handel was celebrated at West-
minster Abbey in 1782, and at the request of the Earl of
Sandwich, Barney drew up a history of this occurrence,
entitled An Account of the Mnsical Performances in West*
minster Abbey and the Pantheon, in Commemoration of
Handel, Lon., 1785, 4to. In 1789 his distinguished fHend,
Edmund Burke, procured for him the situation of organist
of Chelsea College. In 1796 he pub. his Memoirs of th«
Life and Writings of the Abbot Metaatasio, with trans, of
his Letters, 3 vols. 8vo. This was a subject in which tha
doctor took a deep interest: he writes to his daughter
Fanny, Madame D'Arblny, May 7, 1795 :

'* I am hallooed on prodigiously In my Metastaslo mania. All
the critics — Warton, Twining, Narea, and Dr. Charles — my that
his Edratta dtlt Arit liirtica aAriiMiU, which I aa now translat-
ing, is the best piece of dramatic criticism that has ever been
written. * Bless my heart r says Warton ; * X, that have been all
my life defending the three nnltles, am overset.' ' Ay,' quoth I,
* us not he made you all ashamed of 'em 1 Ton learned fblks are
only theorists In theatrical matters, but Metastaslo had sixty
yearV successful practice. There 1 Go to.' " — Diary and LeOert qf
Mada-mt cTArNay, voL vL 3a; at p. 98 see rsfelence to hb Poetical
History of Aatronomy.

The work waa well received;

" Let It not be a reproach to our estlnuible biographer, that ha
baa described with the voluminous gravity of history, a group i:f
poets, singers, actors, and musIclanB. It is well that a work ot
this kind should nuike Its appearance. . . . The amnsers ot our
leisure, the arilsts of our pleaauree, may Justly he rankeid among
the benefiictors of society. Let It belong, then, to the mnae of
flune, to elevate, monuments over their remains, and to strew
flower* on their gmve. In token of gxatefiil reniembmnoe.''.^

In Phil. Trans., 1779, will be fonnd the doctor's Aeoonnt
of an Infant Musician. He contributed to Rees's Cyclo-
paedia almost all the musical articles, for which he re-
ceived £1000. Dr. Burney was a familiar associate of tha
most distinguished literary gentlemen of his time. Of his
children, James rose to the rank of admiral, Charles waa
one of the most celebrated Hellenista of his age, and two
of his daughters, Frances (Madame D'Arblay) and Sarah
Harriet, were novelists. These will all be noticed in their
order. In 1806 Dr. B. waa granted • pension of £301^
and in 1810 he waa elected a member of tha Institute of
France. Mr. Macaulay justly blames Dr. Bumey for
causing his daughter Francea to prolong her aarvitada at
Court as Keeper of the Robes :

** His veneration fi>r royalty amounted. In truth, (o Mclatn. It
can be compared only to the grovelling superatltlon of tboea SyrUn
devotees who made thpir children peas through the fire to Moloch."
Reed this admirable sketch. — " Madame d'Arblay," in Edln. B»
view, January, 1843, and In Macaulay's MIfloellanles.

In his genaral character, however,

•* Dr. Bnmey was exemplary In all the relations of lUb ; and his
manners were said to possees all the gracee of the Chesterfield
school, without any of Its fonaallty, or vldoua alKry of moral and
reIl;;louB laxity. . . . Aa a oompoeer, hie meclta and claims axa
unquestionably high."

The commendation of Sir William Jones ii one of whidi
any one might indeed, be proud :

" Dr. Bnmey gave dignity to the character of the modem musi-
cian, by Joining to It that of the scholar and philosopher."

Burner, Charles, Jr., D.D., 1757-1817, a son of
the preceding, waa a native of Lynn, Norfolk. He went
to the Charter-house in 1768, and from thence to Caiua
College, Cambridge ; he proceeded M.A. in 1781 ; LL.D.
at Aberdeen in 1792; D.D. at Cambridge in 1808. He
waa for some time engaged in an academy at Higbgata,
and afterwards became assistant to Dr. Rose, the transla-
tor of Ballust «t Chiswick, whose daughter he married in
178S. He was from 1783 to 1800 a contributor of classical
articles to the Monthly Review, and for two or three yeara
was editor of the London Magazine. His dissertation in
the Monthly Review on Person's Heenba, and Wakefield*!
Diatribe, waa rereired with great respect by Hermann,

Bums, Robert, b. January 25, 1759, d. July 21,
1796, was a native of the Parish of Alloway, near Ayr,
Scotland. His father, a small farmer, sent him to the
county school in the neighbourhood, where he acquired a
knowledge of the English branches, to which he subse-
quently added a limited acqnaintanoe with Latin, French,
and geometry. He eagerly devoured all the books which
fell hi his way, and Guthrie's Grammar, the Gardener's
Direotory, and Hervey's Meditations, engrossed the time
spared from the Seasons of Thomson and the Plays of
Shakspeare. When about 16 he " first committed," to use
his own phraseology, " the sin of rhyme." His powers
were first awakened, as is nsusliy the cose with yonng
poets, by an a&ir of the heart In essaying the acoents
of affecUon, his muse found its voice, and the gift once
discovered was not likely to be disregarded. His poems
cironlated in manuscript through the country, and were
much admired by his rural readers, and he had no incon-
siderable fame as a poet, when some friends persuaded
him to publish a volume in order to def^y his expenses to
Jamaica, where he hoped to obtain a situation as overseer
on a plantation. His first prqjeot had been emigration to

paaaaga, embraoed fail friends, and aant his ohest to
Sreenook to be placed on board a vessel bonnd for Ja-
maica, when he received through a letter to a friend, an
imvitation from Dr. BlaoUock to visit Edinburgh. It was

rfngle letter of Lntrodoction.**

He waa greatly admired in Edinburgh. Dr. Robertson,
Dugald Stewart, Henij Mackentio, and other men of note,
felt a pleasure in drawing admiring crowds roand the rustic
poet, whose conversational abilities struck his auditors with
as mueh lorpriae u thajr had azperienoed from tha penual
of his verses.

The Bishop of Aberdeen, whom Bums visited when in
tliat city not long after, gives naahigh opinion of the poet's
power of intereatinir his new friends :

'^ As to his personu appeanuioe, It Is very much in Ua Ihvour.
He la a genteel-looking yonng man, of good addreea, and talks with
as mu(£ propriety aa If he had received an academical edacatlon.

A second edition of his poems waa ptib. at Edinbnrgli in
1787, 3 vols. 8vo ; the immediate profit of which, includ-
ing copyright and subscriptions, waa £700, and a further
sum was sabaeqnently reoeived by the suecessfbl author.
Thia large receipt ia a day of oomparatively few readers,
la to l>e attributed to the fhct that many subscribers volun-
tarily paid one and two guineas per copy, instead of the
■iz shillings required. The 2800 copies were subscribed
for by l&OO individuals. At Edinburgh Boms nnforto-
nately acquired those habits of intemperance and associa-
tion with tile profligate which proved his bane. He returned
in 1788 to Ayrshire, appropriated £200 of his fortune to
the relief of his aged mother and his brother, and married
Jean Armour, (his "Bonny Jean,") an old acquaintance,
the daughter of a mason ia Hanchlin. His first love,
"Highluid Mary," (Mary Campbell,) fell a victim to a ma-
lignant fever when making preparations for her marriage
to our poet. He commemorated her in his touching elegy
" To Mary in Heaven," in language which will outlast the
•euiptnred marble and storied um of the noble's tomb. By
means of the mistaken fHandahip of Dr. Wood, Bums was
appointed aa azelaeman or ganger, (worth £70 per annnm,)
which threw into the way of temptatidn an appetite already
tolioiting the ezeitamant of the intoxicating )>owl. A beu-
aereloBt geallemao, Hr. Peter Millar, leaaed him the farm
of BUialand, on the banks of the Nith, in DumiHeashire,
on vary adraatageona terma, and he had every encourage-
ment to lead a vtrtaoaa life, relieving agricultnial toil by
flonverae with the mnsa; Imt intemperance had now become
a eonlirmed habit, and rendered him an easy prey to a fever
whieh earned him of at the eariy age of thirty-seven yean
•od aix months. He had removed to ttie town of DumfHea
in 1701. In 1791 ho eontribnted i» A Boleet Collection of

Allan Cunningham's edition, (pub. by Henry Q. Bohn,)
with Life by A. C, and Notes by Sir Walter Scott Thonua
Campbell, Wordsworth, and Lockhart, 1847, contains 150
pieeea more than are to be found in Currie'a edition. Mr.
Bohn'sedit eontains 848 pages, whereas one pub. in similar
shape professing to be " the only complete edition," contains
but 504 pages, the matter being two-thirds only of Bohn's
edit In the latter the life by Cunningham fills 164 pp.;
whilst in the former it is abridged and comprised in 47
pages. It ia an interesting fact that within a year from
the publication of Burns's Poems in Edinburgh, 1787, two
editions were pub. in the United States, via.: in New Turk
and in Philadelphia, 1788.

The melancholy story of Bums adds another to the dark
catalogue of the vietimi) of the arch-demon InriMPEBajiCB.
When will men learn to shun all companionship with tliat
fell enemy which " steals away the brains," deatroya the

Cce, and blaata the reputation, and effectually mioa the

We conclude with aome brief extracia firam opiniona on
thia diatingnlshed son of song:

" Bnma la by Ikr the gpeateat poet that ever apmng flrom tha be-
aom of the people and lived and died In an hmoue condition.
Indaed, no country In the world but Scotland oould have prodoeed
such a man; and be will be fcrever regarded aa the glorknu repr^

tulty of hla flune. For he manlMtly bad never deeply atndiad

Whatever, therefore, be the Ikalta or defects of the poetry of Buma

We ahonld mection that on tho left aide of Burton'a
monument tho carioiu reader may see the calculation
of hia nativity; and hia buit, painted to the life, adds
to the interest of this memento of a most remarkable
eharaeter. He bequeathed many of his books to the
Bodleian Library ; and they form one of its most onrioos
eollectiona. As the author of The Anatomy of Melan-
eholy — what it is, with all the kinds, causes, symptoms,
prognostics, and asTeral onrea of it — Burton's name will
deseend to nmoteat generations. It is next to impos-
dble thmt so profound a treatise on a mental disorder
to whioh a state of high intellectual cultivation is perhaps
peenliarly liable can ever be permanently buried in the
librariea of the learned. The 1st edit, was pub. in 1821,
4to, (Ferriar gives KIT, but he errs;) and its popularity
is evinced by the rapidity with which editions followed
eaeh other: 1624, '28, '32, '38, '51, '32, '«0, '78, 1728, '38,
toL The eulogy of Dr. Johnson — " Burton's Anatomy of
Helancholy," be said, " was the only book that ever took
him out of bed two boors sooner than he wished to rise" —
excited some coriosify to see so attnotire a work, and an
edit was pub. in 1800, fol., and another in 1808, 2 vols.
8vo; also in 1827, 2 vols. 8vo; 1838, 8vo; 1837, 2 vols.
8to; 1838, 8vo; 1845, 8vo; 1849, 8ro. The author— a
man of great erudition and wit — ^was subject to hypo-
chondria, under which he suffered acutely :

' He compaaed this book with a view of relieving hit own me-
lancholy, bvt InCTflaoed it to sneh a degree, tiiat nothiDK could
make blm laugh, but going to the bridge ibot, and heonng the
ribaldry of the bargemen, which rarely ftJled to throw him Into a
vkitaat fit of laughter. Before he was overcome with tliie horrid
disotder, he, In the intervals of his vapours, was eetaomed one of
the most flicetiOQa oompanlons In the oniTerslty." — Granges.

" He was an exact mathematician, a eurioas calculator of natlvl-
tjea, a general raad scholar, a thony pac'd philologist, and one that
understood the snrvejlng of lands well. As he was by many ac-
counted a severe student, a devourer of authors, i melancholy and
hnoaaroos person; so by others, who knew him well, a person of
mat honemy, plain dealing and charity. I hare heard some of
Ibsanetettta dTCh. Ch. often say that his company was very merry,
beete and Juvenile, and no man in his time did sarpsss him tbr his
isady and dextrous interlarding his common dlaeonrses among
them with venes from poets, or sentences fW>m classical authors.
Which being then all the Huhlon in the university made his com-
pany more acoeptableL" — At/ien. Oxon.

Charles Lamb mentions some " curious fragments from
a eommonplaee book which belonged to Robert Burton,
the fionoas author of The Anatomy of Melancholy," but
we know of no publication save the Anatomy. Dibdin
supposes that Dr. Timothy Brioht's (o. v.) Treatise of
Helaneholie, 1588, was the prototype of Burton's work,
and it has been also insinuated that Boaystuau's Tbeatrum
Mundi gave him some useful hints. These surmises may
or may not be true ; but of fathering books by means of
■apposed resemblances, there is no end. Whether Burton
hdped himself to his predecessors' labours or not, it is
certain that he himself has been most unmercifully pll-
Imged. It is very true that "from his storehouse of learn-
ing, interspersed with quaint observations and witty illus-
tratioDs, many modem writers have drawn amply, without
acknowledgment, particularly Sterne, who has copied tho
beat of his pathetic as well as humorous passages." See
Teniar's lUnstrations of Sterne, Lon., 1812, 2 vols. 8vo.
Where the temptation is so great, we need not marvel at
tho theft. Lord Byron declares

<*Bnrtoa^s ' Anatomy of Melancholy' Is the most amusfng and
Instructive medley of quotations and classical anecdotes 1 ever

** If the raader has patlenoe to go through his volumes, he will
be snore Improved Ibr litermry conversation than by the perusal

To Hr. Tegg's beautiful edit., Lon., 1846, 8vo, are pre-
tzed some commendatory notices which we present to the
laader, not without hopes of indndng him to procure the
work, if he happen to be without it.

" Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, a book once the fiivonrit*
of the Warned and the witty, and a source of snrreptHlous learn-
ing, though written on a regular pUn, consists chletly of quota-
tions : the author has bonestly termed It a eentOL He collects, u»
der every division, the opinions of a multitude of writers, without
regard to chronological order, and has too often the modesty to
decline the Interposition of his own aentinients. Indeed, the bulk
of his materials generally overwhelms him. In the course of his
folio he has contrived to treat a great variety of topics, that seem
very looeely connected with the general sntleet; and, like Bayle,
when he starts a tivourite train of quotations, lie does not scmpls
to let the digression outrun the principal qnestfcm. Thus, from

dulgence of playful digressions trom tbe moet serious discussions,
often give his style an air of ftmlllar conversation, notwithstand-
ing the laborious oolleetlons which supply his text He was cap»
ble of writing excellent poetry, bnt he seems to have cultivated
this talent too little. The English verses prefixed to his book,
which poesses beautiful hnagery, and great sweetness of versifica-
tion, have been frequently published. His Latin elegiac veras*
addressed to his book, show a vary agreeable turn ibr raillery."—

Bury, Lady Charlotte, formerly Lady Charlotte
Campbell, " the beauty of the Argyle family," was an
early patroness of the youthful genius of Sir Walter
Scott. She was " always distingnislied by her passion for
elegant letters," and was accustomed " in pride of rank,
in l>eanty's bloom, to do the honours of Scotiand" to the
literary celebrities of the day. It was at one of her par-
ties that Scott became personally acquainted with Monk
Lewis. He writes to George Ellis, 2d March, 1802 :

*' I am glad you have seen tne Marquess of Lorn, whom I bava
met fkrequentlr at the house of his charming sister. Lady Cbariotte
Campbell ; whom, I am sore. If you are acquainted with her, you
must admire as much as I do."

Lady Cbariotte introdnoed him to Lady Anne Hamilton,
and the poet had an opportnnity of confirming the good
impression made by the pemsal of Glenfinlas, and The
Ere of St John. Lady Charlotte Bury, left a widow, was
appointed to a place in the household of the Princess of
Wales, afterwards Queen Charlotte. When the Diary il-
lustrative of the Times of Qeorge IV. appeared, (4 vols.
8vo,) it was thought to bear evidence of a familiarity with
the scenes depicted which could only be attributed to Lady
Charlotte. It was reviewed with mnoh aeverity, and
charged to her Ladyship by Lord Brongham. We are not
aware that the charge has ever been denied. The Quar-
terly Review joined in the eondemnation. The book told
rapidly ; several editions were disposed of in a few weaki ;
for there is a natural desire to know that which should not
be told, especially if the actors be oonspicnoua for rank or
celebrity. Lady Charlotte haa publiahed, also, a number
of novdi of the " Minerva" tchool, some of which have
had a large circulation. Among them are Alia Qiomata;

Basbr, Richard, D.D., 1606-1695, the most cele-
brated pedagogue that Bngland has ever seen, was a king's
scholar at Westminster, and elected a student of Christ
Church, Oxford, where he took the degree of B.A., 1628 ; I
U.A., 1631; D.D., 1660; and Prebendary of Westminster
the same year. About 1640 he was appointed Head
Master of Westminster School, where be flourished — sava
the time of Bagshaw's short triumph — for 55 years. See
BiLOSHiLW, Edward. Dr. Busby was certainly suooessful
in his profession.

" He bred np the greatest number of learned scholars that erer
adorned any age or nation."

It is said that when the king entered his schooI-rooB,
Busby would not remove his hat, not being willing lliat
his boys should think that their master had any superior,
■ad eonsidering that he was as much a sovereign in bis
school as his majesty was in the kingdom. His liberal use
of the birch, as a etimnlns to latent genius, has become
proverbial. This was one of the charges brought against
the doctor by Bagshaw, also a teacher in the school. The
uMppay master was shocked at the loose discipline of his
moro gentle associate. Bagshaw says,

" Mr. Bushy hath oft complilned to me, and seemed to take it III,
that I did not use the rod enongh. ... I would wish thei-e were aome
order taken to limit and restrain the exorbitance of punlahmeut ;
that poor little boys may not recetve thirty or forty, nay, aome>
times sixty, lasliea at a thne for small uid inconsiderable &ults."

But Bushy by no means gave np the point. He de-
dared that Uie rod was his sieve, and that whoever could
not pass through that, was no boy for him. Not desiring
his opponents to rest satisfied with his theory, he pointed
to the Bench of Bishops, where sat sixteen "grave and
reverend" prelates, formerly bis.pupils. How could loyal
adherents of Church and State withstand this argument?
If No Bishop no Church, and No Bishop no King, and No
Birch no Bishop, let flagellation reign I Wben South —
afterwards so celebrated a divine — came to Busby, he was
as heavy, ontractable, and stubborn a ohiel as ever tried
the paUenee of a Dominie. But the master of Westmin-
ster gaaged his mind. He discovered — far in the depths
indeed — genins of no oommon order. Busby determined
to bring it to light.

" I see," said he, "grat talents In that tolky bey, and I 4>all
endsavonr to t>ring them out."

Sooth was now put through a eonrae of ezereiaos of the
most animated and yigorons character. The process was
a tsdioos one, a painful one — ^bnt it succeeded. Busby,
triomphaat, laid by the rod for the benefit of the next un-
dereloped genins, and South ascended the pulpit stairs,
perhaps the first proaeher in England. That he, too, was
no^ with the sixteen other scholars of Busby, a bishop,
was his own faolt. Doubtless Dr. South and his former
preceptor often referred to these toueking scenes, wben in
after days the old schoolmaster took his seat, an honoured
(■est at the eelebrated churchman's table. Busby was
not only a profotmd classical scholar, but his powers of
oratory, and even of noting, were most remarkable. Had
he adopted the stage as a profession, he would probably
hare been as distinguished as Betterton or Garrick. He
pub. some grammatinl works, in the preparation of which
he probably permitted his ushers to aid him. Such is
Wood's oonjeetnre.

Bash, George, b.l796, Professor of Hebrew and Orien-
tal Literature ia the city of New York, has gained consi-
derable distinction by profound learning, pulpit eloquence,
and peculiarities of opinion. He was educated at Dart-
month College, and at the Princeton Theological Seminssy,
officiated for some years as a Presbyterian minister, ac-
cepted his professorship in 1831. In 1846 he avowed his
reception of the doctrines of Swedenborg, and he has since
zealously laboured in their defence. An interesting sketch
of Professor Bush and his opinions will be found in Gris-
wold's Prose Writers of America. His first work was the
Life of Mohammed, pnb. 1832, (Harper's Family Library,
vol. lOth.) In 1836 he pub. a Treatise on the Millennium,
in which views contrary to those generally entertained
were set forth. The Hebrew Grammar was pnb. in 1836:
2d edit, 1838. In 1840 he commenced the publication of
his Commentaries on the books of the Old Testament, vii. :
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Joshua, Judges, and Numbors,
forming 8 vols. These have been highly commended :

" With the fullest aatisOiclion we dlrecf aftentlon to this valu-
able contribution fl-om transatlantic storee, to Biblical literature
and Christian tfaeology. . . . There is a unkm of ttie critical and
the practical which adapts tlie work to popular use as well as to
the r^uirements of tlie ministerial student." — ScoUitli PiM.

" We regard Bush's work on Joshua and Judges as a very vain,
able addition to the number of Commentaries on the whole or

Cirts of the Holy Scriptures. The professor has an enviable tar

In 1745 he travelled through France and Italy with the
■arl of Shrewsbury, and the Messrs. Talbot, and on his
I«tnm was appointed to a mission in StaSbrdshire, though
anxious for a London residence, which would permit ao-
eatt to such works as he desired to oonsnlt in the compila-
tion of his History of the Saints. Shortly after reaching
■ngland, he was appointed Chaplain to Edward, Duke of
Norfolk, and accompanied Edward Howard, bis nephew,
to the Continent. Whilst at Paris he sent to the press his
Lives of the Saints, upon which he had laboured more or
Boss for thirty years. It was pub. Lon., 1746, 6 vols. 4to ;
I>nbl., 1780, 12 vols. 8vo. In the edit before us, the im-
prinator of the prelates is dated January 29th, 1833 ; pnb.
(183<l) at Dublin, 2 r. Svo vols., with a preface by Bishop
Voyle, and life of the author by bis nephew, Charlbs Bct-
liBB, (q. r.) In the first edit, the notes were omitted. This
•tep was taken at the advice of Mr. Challonor, Vicar-
•poetolie of the London district, who thought that the
work would be too costly for general circulation unless re-
duced in sise. An edit, considered tin best, was pub. in
1847, Lob., 12 vols. 8vo ; the continuation by C. Butler
■boold be added. " It Is easy to suppose," remarks his
nephew and biographer, Charles Butler, "what It must
kave cost our author to consign to oblivion the fMt of so
BBch labour, and so many vigils. He obeyed, however."
Happily they wen restored in the subsequent editions.
The Idve* of the Saints is a curious storehonse of ecclesi-
astieal and seeular learning.

" The erudition, tha beauty of style, the true spirit of religion,
and the mild mud eoncDlatlng language, which parrade thla work,
edUad all Ita raadars, dlapoaad tl»m to be pleased with a religion

Oibbon remarks of this eompllatlon,

"ItlsawDrkof merit:— tha sense and learning belong to the
awttor; the pr^fndJoas are those of hla profeaaion.'*

Upon whioh Charles Butler remarks with his nsiial graoe-
fcl nod gentlemanly homorur:

" As It Is known what pialndloe means In Mr. Gibbon's voetlni>
lary, our aut]ior*a relatlvea aooept the cfaaraeter."

The Rev. Alban Bntler also pub. The Liie of Mary of
the Cross.

" It la rather a rehlote to convey instmetlon on various Import
ant duties of a religious Ul^ and on subUma prayer, than a minute
account of the lift and actions of the nun."— Catauu BuTLsa.

He left an unfinished Treatise on the Movable Feasts,
which was pub. by Mr. Challoner, (an edit, Dnbl., 1839,
Svo ;) and Charles Butler pnb. his Short Life of Sir Toby
Matthews. The Rev. Mr. Jones superintended the publi-
cation of three vols, of his Meditations and Discourses,
issued in 1791, since the author's decease; new edit, by
Dr. Lanigan, Dubl., 1840, 8va.

" They are acknowledged to poaaeea great merit ; the morality
of them la entitled to great piafae; the dlacouraa on eoureraatjon
shows a considerable knowledge of life and manners. .... Hli
aennona wore somethnea tnteresttog and pathetic; but they were
always desultory, and almost always Immeasurably long."--Cnas.
Bcnsa.

He made collections for the Lives of Bishop Fisher and
Sir Thomas More, which, it ia to be regretted, with several
other projected works, were never given to the world.
Sometime after bis return to England from his travels with
Mr. Howard, he was chosen President of the English Col-
lege at St Omar's, which responsible position he filled
until the day of his death — in 1773. Be was always mnoh
attached to literary pursuits, and ever ready to assist the
learned investigations of others. Heaided Cardinal Qoi-
rini in his edition of Cardinal Pole's Letters, who nu^ea
this handsome acknowledgment of his valuable eo-opem-
tion:

" The Letters were procured for the anther by Hr. Alban Bodsr,
to whom the public la Indebted for the moat nselbl and valnaUs
work which baa appeared In the Sngllah language on the Uvea of
the Salnta, and winch haa been ao much eateemod In France, that
It la now tranalatad Into the language of a country oelebnited Ibr
bklgiapby, with large additkma by the author. Thla gentleman's
readiness on all occaalona to aaalat the author In hla undertaking
was anawenible to his eztenalTe knowledge, and general acquaint-
ance with whatever haa any relation to erudition."

The value of Quirini's commendation is too well known
to sofaolars to require to be enlarged on here.

Mr. Bntler pursued his studies with soeh leal that we
are assured by one of his friends that

" Brery Instant that Mr. Butler did not dedicate to the govern-
ment of his eolleRe, he employed In atudy; and when obliged to
go abroad, be would read as be walked slong the streets. I bave
met him with a book under each arm, and a thlrtl In hla handa.
and have been told, that, traTelllng one day on horseback, he fcll
a reading, giving the faorse his Aill liberty. The creature used It
to eat a few ears of com that grew on the roadside. The owner
eame In haste, swearing that he would be Indemnified. Mr. But-
ler, who knew nothing of the damage done, no sooner perceived
It, than, bloahlng, be said to the eounttrman, with his usual
mQdneas, that his demand waa just; be then diaws ont a louls*
d*or, and glvea It to the fellow, who would have been very well
satlatled with a few pence, makea repeated apologies to him, easily
obtains forgiveneaa, and goes on his way.**

The character of Alban Butler was most exempUiy.
L'Abb£ de la Seponie thus speaks of him :

" What astonished me most was, that studies ao foreign to tha
supematunl objects of piety, shod over his soul neither aridity
nor iukewarmneaa. He referred all ihlnga to God. and hla dis-
course always concluded by some Christian refieetlons, wbkh be
skllfnUy drew Ihott the topic of his oonvenatlon. Hla virtue was
neither minute nor pusUlanlmottS : religion had Id his dlsconree,
aa well as In bis conduct that solemn gravity which can alone
make It worthy of tha Supreme Being. Ever composed, he feared
neither oontradletlone nor adversltlea: he dreaded nothing bnt
pialaea He never allowed hlmaelf a word that could Iqjure any
one's reputation. ... In short I will conftas It to mv oonfViBltm
that for a long time I Bought to discover a felling In Dim; and I
protest, by all that la aaered, that I never knew one In him.** Bee

Butler, Charles, 1760-1832, alearned Roman Catho-
lie, and aminent lawyer, wa« the nephew of Albax Bctlbr,
(o. r.) and a native of London. He was educated at the
finglish Roman Catholie College at Donay, where he was
noted for his talents and studions application. He was
entered of Lincoln's Inn, in 1775, and was called to the
bar in 1701, being the first barrister of the Roman Catho-
lie commanion sinee the Revolution : he never argned any
ease save the one of Cholmondeley v, Clinton. In 1832
be accepted from the chancellor a silk gown, and was
made a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn. Mr. Bntler was a teal-
ous champion of the religious faith which be professed,
whilst not unmindful of those amenities without which |
there is little hope of rectifying the opinions of others or
recommending onr own. The character which he gives
of his uncle, the celebrated author of The Lives of the
Saints, is a higher eulogy in his own favour than any we
eoold indite.

** He was acalons In the cause of rellfclon, bnt Us seal was wlttaont

In 1778 he pnb. an Essay on the Legality of Impressing
Seamen. Mr. Hargrave had left unfinished, after seven
years' labour, his edit of Coke upon Littleton. Mr. Butler
took the remainder — nearly half the work — in hand, and
finished it in four terms, according to his contract. We
by no means assert, however, that Mr. Butler did as much
work as Mr. Hargrave. Our reference is only to the
calendar. We notice other publications of Mr. Butler.

Butler, Joseph, 1692-1752, a very eminent prelate, I
was bom at Wantage, in Berkshire, where bis father, a I
Presbyterian, was a respectable tradesman. Joseph was |
the yoangest of eight children, and evinced at an early
ag« thoea powers of mind for which he afterwards became
so distinguished. His father designed him for the minis- |
try in his own denomination, and placed him at a Dissent-
ing academy in Tewkesbury ; but an examination of the
prinaiples of the Choroh of England resulted in a deter- .
mination to enter its communion. Accordingly in 1714
he was received as a commoner of Oriel College, Oxford.
At college he formed a friendship with Mr. Edmund Tal-
bot, son of Bishop Talbot, and to this fortunate allianoe
he was indebted for his fnture preferment. In 1718 he
was appointed preacher at the Rolls, which post he re-
tained till 1726, in the beginning of which year he pnb-
lished Fifteen Sermons preached at the Rolls Chapel, of
whteh a second edition ^ipeared in 1729. Subsequently
there were added to this collection, Six Sermons preached
qwn public occasions.

In 1723 he was presented by Bishop Talbot with the
benefice of Haughton, which he exchanged in 172& for
that of Stanhope, whore ha remained for seven years.
He was in this retired country parish, when Queen Caro-
line asked whether he was not dead ; to which it was an-
swered, " Ko, madam, bnt he is buried." In 1733 ho was
appointed Chaplain to the Lord-Chancellor Talbot; and
in three yean afterwards he was made olerk of the closet
to her H^esty. In 1738 be was raised to the Bishopric
of Bristol, and in 17i0 was translated to the See of Dur-
ham. In the following year he delivered to the clergy of
his diocese a charge, in which he sots forth the great
value of external forms and institutes in religion. This
charge was published, and elicited a pamphlet from an
anonymous writer, entitled, A Serious Inquiry into the
Use and Importance of External Religion, occosionod by
some passages in the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of
Durham's Charge to the Clergy of that Diocese. He was
a man of uncommon liberality of disposition, and ex-
pended £4000 in the repairs and embellishment of the
episcopal palace at Bristol — which was a larger sum than
he received from the bishoprie during his eontinnance in
the see. He one day asked his steward how much money
was in the house ; to which it was answered, " Five hun-
dred pounds." " Five hundred pounds !" exolaimed the

BUT

worthy prelate, " what a shame for a bishop to have ft
much money in the house at one time !" Ha then ordered
a great part of it to be distributed to the poor. Shortly
af^r he had been seated in his new bishopric, his health
began to decline, and in 1752 he died at Bath, in the sixty-
first year of bis age. He was never married. The piety
of Bishop Bntler was full of seriousness, humility, and
fervour. Fifteen years after his decease, a declaration was
published by an anonymous writer to the efTect that the
bishop had diod in the communion of the Church of Rome.
This falsehood was amply reftited by Archbishop Seeker.

** Tills strange slander, fennded on the weakest pretences, and
most trivial drcumstanoes, tllat can he Imagined, no one was
better qualified to confute than the archbishop ; as well from his
long and Intimate Itnowledge of Bishop Butler, as fhim the inlbl^
matlon given him at the time, by tlwae who attended his lordsh^
in his last illness, and were witJl him when lie died." — £p. /bff^

The last edit, of his works, with a Preface by Bishop Hali-
fax, was pulk in 1849, 2 vols. Svo, at the Oxf. Univ. Press.
We now come to speak of that great work, which will
secure the veneration of the world for the name of Bntler,
as long as either religion or philosophy are held in esteem
by mankind. The Analogy of Religion, Natural and
Revealed, to the constitution and course of nature, ap-
peared in the same year in which the author was made
olerk of the closet to Queen Caroline. This work is less
surprising when considered as the production of the sama
mind which twenty-five years before (when Butler was a
youth of nineteen at the Tewkeebuiy Academy) had asto-
nished Doctor Clarke with the profundity of its disquisi-
tions on his Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of
Ood. It has been remarked that "the same reach and
sagacity of intellect which charaoteriKC all Butler's subse-
quent performances are exhibited to the greatest advan-
tage in these letters to Dr. Clarke."

The Analogy ever "since its first publication, has been nnivei^
sally considered as beyond comparison tlle ablest treatise on tlie
philosophy of religion. As a preparation fi>r the student of the
evidences of natural and rsvsued rellgton, it la invaluable; ilnea
it both annihilatea the moat formidable a friari ol«|ectians of the
infidel, and Is admirably fitted to form tlie mind to the serions and
earnest pursuit of truth. To good men of a speculative turn of
mind, who are tormented by the fluent reourrence of skeptical
doubts, it has always proved an inestimable blesslDg; and even
infidels have been compelled to acknowledge Its superlative ezosl-
lenoe as a piece of raasoniag."

" Bishop Butler is oite of those creative geniuses who give a cha-
racter to their times. His great work, The Analogy of Iteligton,
has fixed the admlratlou of all competent judges for nearly a ceo-
tnry, and wHl continue to be studied so long as the language ia

Mr. Hallam, in a dissertation of considerable length
upon Bishop Cumlierland's De Legibus Naturae Disqui-
sitio Philosophiea, shows under what obligations both
Butler and Paley rested to this author. (Introduction to
the Lit. Hist, of Europe.^

Butler quotes the following observation of Origen's, (Phi-
local.,) and perhaps wo may consider it as the text upon
which he liased his Analogy :

*' He who believes the Scriptures to have proceeded than Him who
Is the author of Nature, may well expect to find the aaine sort of

" Others bad ostabllEhed the historical and prophetical grounds

" No author has made a more just and a more aappj use of this
mode of reasoning than Bishop Butler, In Ms Anai^ qf Jbiiffitm,
... In that excellent work the author does not ground kdt of the
truths of religion upon analogy as their proper evidence; ne only
makee use of analogy to answer ol^Jections against them. When
ot^Jeetlons are made against the truths of religion, which may be
made with equal strength against what we know to be true In the
eourse of nature, such oloeotlons can hare no weight." — Stid't
Sttajf* on tht liddkatual l^Moert,

Dr. Beid mlao notioes in hU Aottre Povera, Eatay Sd,
the important dUtinelioD which Bp. Butler makes

"Between sudden anger or reeentment, which IsabUndimpidae,
arisli^ from our constltntlou, and that which Is deliberate. The
first may be raised by hurt of any kind ; but the last can only be
raised by Injury, real, or concefred. Both these kinds of anger or
resentment are raised whethu- the hurt or Injury be done to om^
salves, or to those we are Interested In."

To the Analogy are appended two diraertationa : 1. On
Personal Identity. 2. On the Nature of Virtue. In the
flnt, Mr. Locke's aooonnt of personal identity is oonaideivd
and

*' Refhtod In a style which shows that had he eoneentiated his
attention upon the phllosopby of the human mlnd^ he might have
eclipsed the fiune of some of the greatest metaphysician ■. In the
second, he propounds and lllustnitee with great perspicuity the
same theory of virtue on which he had before insisted In the pre*
flue to his sermons."

" We think that the Illustrious Bishop (^Durham has exhausted
the anl^lect [Personal Identity] by stating Ihlrly theopinkms which
he controverts, and by establishlnic his own upon a foundation
which cannot be shaken, and which are eertalnly not Injured by
the ol^ectlons of Sfr. Cooper." — Enejfc BrU.

Oar eminent author has been compared with the cele-
brated American philosopher — Jonathan Edwards.

** Mr. Edwards nomes nearer Bishop Butler as a philosophical
divine than any other theologian with whom we are acquainted,
ffls style, like Butler's, Is very much that of a man thlnkli^ aloud.
In both these authors, the train of thinking In their own minds la
more clearly exhibited to us than perinps by any other author,
whilst they show us with great truth and tiatlnctness, what their
notions are, and how they came by tbem, with very little ooneem
about the form of expression In which they are conveyed. Butler,
however, had a larger mind than Kdwardi, and was by no means
so much of a mere dialectician. It, ther^re, he be less acute than
the American, he Is more comprelwnslve, and gives fldrer fdaj to
erery opposing argnment"— Augw. BriL

Lord Kamea, apeaking of devotion aa being natural to
man, adds, in a note,

" See this principle beautifully explained and illustrated In a 8ei^
mon upon the Love of God, by Doctor Butler, Bisbop of Durham, —
a writer of the first rank." — Sketches qfUu Binary of Man, vol.Iv.

" Every reader of Butler's Sermons must be sensfble. that they
afford an admirable proof of his sagacity In treating moral ques-
tions. We cannot but think that what he hath advanced, on the
several subjects discussed t^ him. Is declfilve; and that he ought
forever to have sUenoed those fdillosophers who resolve all human
actions Into the sole prinei]^ of selMove. It should be remem-
bered, that onr authors Sermons are chiefly to be considered as phl-
!os(q|AleaI and moral disoonrses. addressed to a select auditory: for
tlk^ can by no means be regarded as general models of prearhlng."

The obacnrity of Butler'a style has been frequently ob-
jected to. And yet both the Sermons and the Analogy
had recoived the rerision of the accurate and perspicuous
Seeker. Mainwaring, in his Dissertation on the Composi-
tion of Sermons, whilst he greatly commended Bishop But-
ler's writings, also refers to thia imputed want of cleameaa
of style:

" Newton and Locke, who rescued learning from the slarerr of
systems, and taught men to think for themselves, were both of Uie
luty, and both friends to revealed ralijrion. Since their time, an<
other writer arose, whose vrin of thinking Is alike original, and
whose works, thonrii he had ndlther the gift of eloquence^ nor the
art of expressing himself with grace or ease, have done honour to
his country. The method of reasoning he dileflv ad(^|^ Is an ap-
peal to flKts, of which all men are judges; and even when most
abstruse or abstracted. It Is not perplexed or fldladous. Fw meta>
physics, which had nothing to support It but mere abstraction, m
shadowy speculation, Bishop Butler hath placed on the Ann basis
of observation and experiment : and, by pursuing predaely the
same mode of reasoning in the sdenoe of morals, as his great pre-
decMsor Newton had done in the system of nature, hath formed
and concluded a happy alliance between fldth and phllosopby. The
Sermons he published, excepting some few of a more popular cast,
are deep dlsquiritlons on the plan of his ^tutftyy, well suited to a
learned audience, in an age so fond of enquiry* although the In^
propriety of preaching them appeared to huu to require some
apoI(^y. But surely such an exercise of the understanding, if the
hearers are capable of It, must mollomte the heart. Bwldes, I
cannot but wiAi, that, aa there Is so great an abundance of the
practleal sort, some sermons were wrkten chiefly with a rlaw to

of style. No thinker so great was ever so bad a writer. Indeed,
the Ingenkma apologies which have been lately attempted for this
defect, amount to no more than that his power of thought was too
much for his skill In language. How general must the reception

** These remains do not answer my expectations, and as for the

Perhaps the best of Butler's prose works are the Cha-
tmeters, (vol. 2d,) in the style of Earle, Hall, and Over-
bnry. The best-known of his poetical pieces, after Hudi-
bras, is The Elephant in the Hoon, a satire on the Royal
Society. It hae been generally supposed that Butler spent
his last years in great destitution, though this has been
denied; but as his friend Mr. Longneville buried him at
U* own expense, there is litUe doubt of the truth of this
melaneboly stoiy. Indeed, Oldham's authority settles the
qoeation. It is known that Hudibras was " the chief en-
tortainment of Charles II., who often pleasantly quoted it
in oonversation," and it is said that his majesty ordered
Bntler the sum of £3000, but the order being written in
flgures, somebody, through whoee hands it passed, by cut-
ting off a cypher, reduced it to £300. Dr. Johnson re-
marks, "all that ean he told with certainty is, that he
was poor."

The general design of Hndfbras is borrowed fk-om Don
Qnizote. Butler's hero is a Presbyterian Justice of the
Peace, [Sir Samuel Luke,] who, "in the confidence of
legal authority, and the rage of lealons ignorance, ranges
the eonntary to repress superstition and current abuses, ao-
•ompuied by an Independent Clerk, [Squire Ralpho,]
disputations and obstinate^ with whom be often debates,
but never oonqners him."

^ If Inexhaostlble wit oonld give perpetnal pleaanre, no eye
woold ever leare half read the work or Butler: m what poet has
ever brought ao many remote iaiagee ao happily together? It la
Bcanely possible to peruse a page without flndtng some association

dation of an ohieet, by a Just and nnexpeoted anangnment of It

with another subject : propriety of words, and thoughts elegantly
adapted to the occasion: opjects which poeeesa an ulnlty or con-
grulty, or sometimes a contrast to each other, aaaembled with
quiekneaa and variety ; In short every ingredient of wit or of hu-
mour, which critics have discovered on diaaecUng tliem, nay be
trand In thb poem." — Rxv. Da. Nash ; iV^ooe toHudibroM.

Sir Walter Scott describes the poetry of Bntler as being
merely the comedy of that style of composition which
Donne and Cowley practised in its mora senons fonn. See
Scott's Life of Dryden.

" Hudibras wsa Incomparably more popular than Paradise Lost;
no poem In onr language rose at once to greater repniatloa. Nor
can thb be called ephemeral, like that of moat political poativ.
For at least half a century alter Ha publication It waa generally
read, and peipetnally quoted. The wit of Bntler has still pre.
aarved many lines; but Hadlbias now attracts conpanttvely few
readan. The euloglee of Johnson seem rather adapted to what
he remembered to have been the fiune of Butler, than to the feel-
ings of the surrounding generation; and since hb time, new
sources of amnaement have sprung up, and wrttera of a mora In-
tdUglble pleaaantry have anperseoed thcee of the aeventeenth
century. In the fiction of Hudlbraa then waa never much to d|.
vert the reader, and there b still less left at present But what
has been censured as a fliult the length of dialogue, which pnta
the fledon out of right b In fluit the eonree of all the oleasnre that
the work aflbrds. The sense of Butler b masculine, nls wit inex-
haustlble, and it Is supplied from every source of reading and ob.
aervatlon. But these sources an often so unknown to tse leedei
that the wit loses Its effect through the obeenrity of Its alluslona,
and he yields to the bane of wit a purblind, moMIke pedantry.
Hb veralficaUou b aometlmea aplrited, and hb rhymea humoroua;
yet he wanta that eaae and flow whbb we nqnln In light poetry.**
— Haluk : IntnditBt. la LU. BiHory.

Mr. Hallam's critique has not itself escaped eriti-
cism, bnt we consider the opinions above quoted as very
Just It may be true, as alleged, that to the historical
reader the events of the Revolution are generally well
known, but even the historian must tax his reeollection in
reading Hudibras, and there ean be little opportunity for
amusement when the mind is engaged in coaxing the me-
mory. Hudibras is a work to be studied once, and gleaned
occasionally. It may continue neglected, but ean nevw
be entirely forgotten.

Bntler, Samnel, 1774-1840, a native of Kenilwortb,
Warwickshire, was educated at Rugby School and St John's
College, Cambridge, where he was highly distinguished
for his classical proficiency, obtaining two of Sir William
Browne's medals for the I«tin odes, and one for the Greek,
and being elected Craven scholar in 1793, against Keate,
Bethell, and Coleridge. He was elected a Fellow of his
College in 1797; appointed head-master of Shrewsbury
School, 1798; Bishop of Lichfield, 1836. The bishop pub.
a number of works, consisting of classical treatises, ser-
mons, tracts against Priestley, (pub. 1783, '84, '86; 3d edit,
1812,) and several geographical works, which have had
large circulation. A new edit of his Atlas of A. and M.
Geography, edited by his son, was pub. in 1853, 2 vols.
His moat important undertaking waa bis edit of ^schylus,
for which arduous duty he was specially selected about the
time of his appointment to the mastership of Shrewsbniy
SchooL This elaborate work was pub. in 4 vols. 4to ; also
in 6 vols. 8vo, 1806-12. See a list of this worthy and
learned prelate's publications in the Gent Mag., February,
1840. The Bishop's Discourse on Christian Liberty
(Shrewsbury, 8vo) has been praised as

"An able sermon. Thb eminent scholar seems to have a clear
Inright Into the free eonsUtntlon of Christianity. He Is equally
the enemy of snperatltlon and of intcdemnce." — Ltn. MonOdg Jn-

"In 1840 he was created a baronet— a dignity to which bis
pehUc character and large private Ibrtune well entitled him, but
wfaldi lie accepted rather as an acknowledgment of merit rendered
valnahle by Uie slandeions attacks which had been mnde upon
him tliau as an ol^Jeet of personal ambition. No man was more
exempt finom vanity than Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton : his manners
were too plain and his mind was too elevated for auch a puerility.
Buxton's great merit ss a public man consisted In his indiietry, his
SBiergy, and his straightforward honesty of purpose. He never
•ifcelea display, li>r hehad the good taste to despise it; yet ho was
always favourably heard, not only because he was the acknow-
ledged bead of the religious party, but because his statements
wen stamped with authority; they were known and frit to be
fane, and they were put forward with a manner and perspicuity
which waentislly belMig to truth. It was his principle to address
himself to the imderstandlug and not to the passions of bis au-
diaaee; and he rarely flUled eventually in producing conviction.
Be waa eminently a religions man ; and those who knew him
fcivBtely can testify to the earaaatDcas and humble Mth with
which he always submitted the event of his Important labours
with ptons resignation to the will of Ood. Re was a IMthful and
•flhoskmate member of the Church of England ; but be was not
ttie man to regard sectarian differencee as of importance where he
faud hand and heart imlted in sealous eflbrt for the good of raan-

Byrom, John, 1691-1763, a native of Keraall, near
Mancbeater, England, was admitted a penaioncr of Trinity
College, Cambridge, at the age of 16 ; took hia degree of
B. A., 1711. His pastoral of Colin and Phoebe, pub. ia
the Spectator, No. 603, excited great and deaerved admira-
tion. It is asaerted that Ph<]eb6 was intended for Joanna,
the daughter of the great Bentley, roaster of Trinity Col-
lege. This young lady married Bishop Cnml>erland, and
was the mother of the celebrated William Cumberland.
Byrom had before contributed to The Spectator two excel-
lent papers on Dreaming, under the name of John Shadow:
see Noe. 686 and 603. Byrom was ohosen Fellow of his
oollege, and soon after took his degree of Master of Arts.
Not designing to take holy orders, he vacated his fellow-
ship, and travelled for some time in France. Returning
home, be married his cousin, which displeasing his &ther
and uncle, the young couple were thrown upon their own
resources for a livelihood. Byrom now gave leasons ia
stenography, and pub. two treatises npon ^e subject, 1767,
and PhiL Trans., 1748. (See the Encyclopeedias of Rees
and Nicholson for an account of Byrom's system.) By tba

of the Saards, and Miss Catherine Qordon of Qight, in

&tber to the snbject of oar memoir.

** It liaa been mid of Lord Byron that be was prouder of being a
descendant of those Byroni who accompanied William the Con-
qneror Into England, than of having been the author of Chllde
Barold and Manfred.**

The name of Ralph de Bnmn ocenra in Doomsday-book
among the principal tenants of NotUnghamshire ; and his
descendants, the Lords of Horeatan Castle, held large poa-
■essiona in Derbyahire and Lancaahiro. The name of
Byron acquired fresh distinction at the siege of Calais un-
der Edward IIL, and in the fields of Creasy, Bosworth, and
Marston Moor. In the reign of Henry YIIL, on the dis-
•olntion of the monasteries, the ehnrch and priory of New-
ataad, with the lands adjoining, were by royal grant con-
ferred upon "Sir John Byron the Little, with the great
beard." At the coronation of James L his grandson was
made a Knight of the Bath, and in the year 1643, (temp.
Charlea L,) Sir John Byron, " greaUgrandson of him who
nooeeded to the rich domains of Newstead," was created
Baron Byron of Rochdale, in the county of Lancaster.
This honour was well deserved, for

" Sir John Biron, afterward Lord BIron, and all his brothers,
tied up In arms and Tallant men In their own persons, were all
laarioeately the king's."— CbL Hutckimon'i ifemairi.

CoL Hntohinaon was eonsin-german to Sir Richard Bi-
roB, and when the latter adrised him to surrender his cas-
0», he ratomad an answer that

** Kxeapt he (bond his own heart prone to such treachery, be
might eonolder there was. If nothing else, so much of a BIron's
Mood la him, that he should rery much soom to betimy or quit a
trust he had undertaken."

At the Iwttle of Edgehill there were no less than aevcn
brothera of the Byron family on the field. William, third
Lord Byron, succeeded his father, Richard, second Lord
Byron, in 1670. About 1750 the shipwreck and sniferiDga
of the Hon. John (aiUrwarda Admiral) Byron, second aon
of Wniiam, fourth Lord Byron, excited the public attention
and sympathy. In 1766 the name was brought less crediu
ably bito notice, by the trial before the House of Peers,
of the fifth Lord Byron, for killing in a duel, or rather,
ha*^ qoarrel, his relatire, Mr. Chaworth. His lordship
was indicted for murder, and only saved fi'om the penalty
attendant on manslaughter by pleading his peerage. He
passed the reat of his life in seclusion at Newstead Abbey,
dying in 1798, when the title and estates of the family were
Inherited by the subject of onr memoir. The admiral's
only aon, John, became a captain of the Guard. He was
eonapicnona as one of the handsomest and most dissipated
men of bis time, and known fiuniliarly as " Had Jack By-
ron." In his 27th year he waa the cause of a divorce be-
tween the Marquis and Uarchioneaa of Carmarthen, and
■aarried the lady himself. She survired their union but
two years. Their only oUld was a daughter, Augusta By-
ron, afterwards the wife of Colonel Leigh. In the year
following the death of hia firtt wife. Captain Byron mar-
ried Hiaa Catherine Oordon, only child and heireas of
Ooorge Oordon, Baq., of Sight, in Abordeenshire. The
marriage waa one of "eonvenlcnce" on (he part of the
groom, and he aoon found it convenient to aacrlfice her
•atata to the importnnitiea of his creditors: within two
Tears Hiaa Gordon's very large property, (the estate alone
being sold for jE17,8S0,) with the ezoeplion of a trifle, waa
tbua Bwallowed up. Mrs. Byron's acerbity of disposition
baa beeome world-renowned, but wa think that her bridal
•zperieneo ahonld not be omitted when her character is to
ba wvighed. Bwn a very amiable hairaii may be pardoned

for a little discomposure of temper, whan ehe fiuda that ah*
has fallen a prey to a profligate fortune-hunter, who ro-
duoea her in a few years fh>m a splendid establishment to
£150 per annum ! With such an nnpromising honeymoon,
we need not wonder that the union proved to be snch only
in name, and in a short time even the name waa sacrificed
to embittered passions, and " Mad Jack Byron" returned
to his bachelor life, only visiting the wretched woman
whom he almost beggared, for the purpose of extorting
more money from her scanty purse. At his last visit be
did not leave Aberdeen until be had succeeded in wringing
from her a sufficient sum to defray his expenses to Yalen-
eionnes, where in the year following, (1703,) to the relief
of his wife in particular, and human nature in general, he
terminated his most unprofitable existence. His widow
was violently affected at the news of his death, for she
never lost her affection for him; and when the young By-
ron's nurse would meet the Captain in her walks, the de-
serted and injured, bat still loving, wife, would " inquire
with the tendcrest anxiety aa to his health and looks."
How common is it to blame this unfortunate woman as the
cause of the mental, if not the moral, obliquities of the
future poet; but is it not charitable to suppose that such a
melancholy reverse of fortune, effected too by such means,—
so bitter a disappointment in the object of her affections,
who, too, was *' unmanly enough to taunt her with the in-
conveniences of that penury which his own extravagance
had occasioned," — is it not charitable to auppose that health
of mind may have been impaired, where the heart had suf-
fered so much?

We will make one concession to the modem apologist!
for Lord Byron's character : bad as he waa, he certainljr
was a better man than his father.

In 1798 the fifth Lord Byron, his great-nnele, died with-
out issue, and George, thon ten years of age, succeeded to
the title and estates of his family. He waa now placed
under the care of the Earl of Carlisle, who had married
the sister of the late Lord Byron. The young nobleman
was placed at Harrow School, where he waa more diatin-
guiabcd for bis love of manly sports than for any devotion
to study. When IS years of age he was one of a party
assembled at the Hi^l of Annesley, the residence of the
Chaworth family. Miss Chaworth was thon eighteen, and
a yonog lady of rare loveliness. Young Byron saw and
loved. The affections of the lady were, however, already
engaged, and bad it been otherwise, the youthful lover
seems to have had but a doubtful prospect of success. By-
ron's admiration had been sufficiently obvious bo ita object,
and, it would appear, to others ; for he waa doomed to the
mortification of hearing her remark— or being informed
of the speech by some good-natured fViend — " Do you think
I could care any thing for that lame boy?" This sarcasm
** was like a shot tbrongh hli heart. Though late at night when
he heard it, he Instaotly darted out of tbe house, and, scarcely
knowing whither he ran. never stopped till he found himself at
Newstead." — Moon't Lift nf Bynm.

It is a curious &ct that neither Lord Byron nor hia bio-
grapher. Mr. Moore, aeems to hare been aware that Wil-
liam, third Lord Byron, who (more successful than hia
kinsman) married, some time before 1679, Elizabeth,
daughter of John, Lord Chaworth, was also a poet. Bee
Thomas Shipman's Carolina, or Loyal Poems, 1683, 8vo.

When between sixteen and seventeen, Byron was entered
of Trinity College, Cambridge, and here he wasted the
hours, which properly employed would have secured to
him a solid foundation of learning, in reckless profligacy.
He quitted college at nineteen, and took up his residence
at the family-seat of Newstead Abbey, and here he pre-
pared for publication a number of his early produetiona,
under the title of Hours of Idleness ; A Series of Poems,
Original and Translated. By George Gordon, Lord Byron,
a Minor, 8to, pp. 200, Newark, 1807. There was very
little in this collection to attract more than passing notice,
and notwithstanding some striking stanaaa, it would, if
the author had written nothing elae, have hardly anrvived
its year; hut the Edinburgh Review thought a young lord
too good a mark to be despised, and they forthwith served
him up fbr the entertainment of a public who had learned
to relish their highly-apiced diahea.

**Tbe poeayef this youDg lord belongs to tbe olass which neither

seen a quantity of verae with so few deviations f lom that eiaet stand-

thon, that the poor fellowi had " become nmd to it," and
hardly ventured a respectftil remonstrance. The critic was
mistaken in bis man, however. Byron had no idea of tamo
submission. He affected indifference, indeed :

** Ton liave seen the Edinburgh Review, of course. I regnt
Mn. Byron Is so much annoyed. For my own part, theae ' paper
bnllets of the brain' have ouy tangbt me to stand lire ; and as I
have been lucky enough upon the whole, my repoee and appetite
an not discomposed."— XeOcr Is Mr. Ste/ur, March 28, 1806.

Bat his conntenanoe wu a mon fiutbful index of what
was passing within :

*' A fHend, who Iband him In the first moments of excitement
after reading the article. Inquired anxiously, whether be had just
received a cballengeT not knowing how else to aooount for the fierce
dsllanea of his looks."

He afterwards acknowledged that he essayed to drown
his mortilcation in three battles of claret after dinner, on
the day he pernsed this tenibl* oritiqae. Nothing, he
said, relieved him

" Till he had given vent to his IndlgnatioD In itome, and 'alter
the first twenty lines he fUt himself considerably better.'"

It is an evidenee of Mrs. Byron's affection for her son,
that she seems to have taken this matter as much to heart
•s did the young author.

In March, 1800, appeared his response to the Edinburgh
oritics, for such it was in fsot, under the title of English
Bards and Scotch Reviewen. That this pungent satire
fhonld have obtained immediate celebrity is no marvel.

called for within a few weeks. The aatbon, long a suffer-
ing tribe, rejoiced in their new ohampion, delighted that
the reviewera had found a " foeman worthy of their steel,''
whilst the public generally, who had before laughed at tha
victims, were now equally well pleased to laogh at the exe-
cutioners in the day of their discomfltore. The iignstio*
of manv of the attacks in this famed satire was afterwards
acknowledged by the aathor bimseUL He calls it "a fero-
cious rhapsody," and " a miserable record of misplaced
anger and indiscriminate aerimooy." Jeffrey was attacked
wiUi the greatest sCTerity; bat tha author was mistakea
in ascribing the critiqne which displeased him to this quar-
ter. Lord Brougham oeing really answerable for it. After
passing through four editions, his lordship suppressed faia
satire. In 1800 he concluded to travel on the continent
and left home accompanied by his f^end and fellow-colle-
gian, John Cam Hobhonse, who is still living, (18S5.) Lord
Byron has given na a better idea of his pcregrinationa in
Oreeoe, Turkey, Ac, in the pagea of Childe Harold's Pil-
grimage, than any other pen can furnish. He returned
home in Jnne, 1811, having been absent for two years.
Shortly after hia reaching England, his mother was at-
tacked by sickness, which proved fatal before he arrived
at Newstead. In 1812 appeared the first two cantos
of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage : they were eminently sno-
oessfol:

"TlweflSKt was electric; his lima had not to waK for any Of tiw
ordinary gradations, but seemed to spring up, like tha palace of a
foiry tab, in a night As he Umsslf briefiy deaeribed It hi bis
Biemccanda, * I awoke one morning and Ibund myself ikmoua.'
The flnt edition of his work was dispoaed of instantly ; and as the
echoes of Its reputation mnltipliad on all sides, ' Childe Harold,'
and ' Lord Byron' became the tlkeme of every tongue." — Jfoore's
U/e qf Byron.

The copyright money paid by Mr. Murray, £600, his
lordship presented to Mr. Dallas, saying that he never
would receive money for his writings, (see Dallas's Recol-
lections,) " a resolution," remarks Mr. Moore, perhaps with
some allowable emrit d» corps, " he afterward wisely aban-
doned."

Mr. Murray paid at different times, for copyrights of his
lordship's poems, certainly over £1&,000. A few days be-
fore the publication of Cbilde Harold, he made his first
speech in the House of Lords, when he opposed the second
reading of the Framework Bill. His second speech was
in favour of Catholic Emancipation, and the third waa on
the 2d of July, 1813, when he addressed the House on
presenting M^or Cartwrigbf s petition. His lordship was
not calculated the " applause of listening senates to com-
mand," and did not care to occupy a position where he
could never hope to be first Ou the 2d of January, 181$,
he waa married to Miss Anne Isalwlla, only daughter of
Sir Ralph MiUbanke, (since Noel,) baronet, who had about
a year previously declined hia overtures. The £10,000
received with this lady were speedily dissipated, and pecu-
niary embarrassment aggravated a want of congeniality,
which might have been anticipated from the first. Nor
did the birth of a daughter, Ada, afterwards Countess of
Lovelace, bom December 10th, 1815, tend to produce per-
manent harmony. Lady Byron retomed home in January,
1816, with the avowed object of a temporary visit to her
family, but she did not see proper to again place herself
under his lordship's protection. Perhaps the tme causes
of this alienation have never wholly transpired, but we
learn from her ladyship's explanation, that she had good
reason to suspect the sanity of her husband, and did not
deem herself justified in remaining under his roof. But,
on the other liand, her ladyship has not escaped censure.
That there was much affection on the part of the groom at
the time of the marriage, we may be allowed to doubt.
Shortly before hia second proposal, he permitted a friend
to offer " his hand and heart" to another lady. She de-
clined, as Miss M. had done.

"You see," said Lord Byron, "that Miss MiUbanke is
to be the person." He wrote her a letter, repeating hia
proposition. His fKend read it : the language was good,
the periods well tamed. It was worthy of insertion in
the next edition of The Complete Letter Writer. His
fKend waa a judge of fine writing; he oommended it
warmly :

" Thia is really a very pretty letter ; it is a pity it shoold
not gol" "Then it shall go," replied his lordship. It
went : the lady had already satisfied the usual panctillo
of her sex by saying " No ;" she now satisfied herself by
saying " Yea." Is it not atrange that even in this day of
i increased light, then should be simple wooers so unso-
phisticated as to take what is intended by the lady as the

standing responaea literal!;, the aourted will have to ao-
oommodate themielTea to oinmmatancea, and aaj that first
which the; had intended to sa; last

Lord Byron now left England with the avowed inten-
tion of never again seeing his native land. He sailed
from London for Oatend, April 25, 1816, proceeded to
Bruasels, and visited the field of Waterloo ; then tamed
his steps towards Coblentz, sailed ap the Rhine to Basle,
and passed throngh part of Switzerland to Geneva. There,
for the first time, he met with Mr. and Mrs. Shelle;.
There was much congeniality in their tastes and disposi-
tions, and a warm intimac; spmng up between them.
Both were distingaished for extraordinary poetical powera,
vith an apparent incapacit; for logical deduction, a morbid
passion for diagracefol notoriet;, finding " their glory in
their shame," and, with an insane recklessness, contemn*
ing the judgments of that Almight; Ruler, whose precepts
they set at naagbt. Both were men of superficial acquire-
ments, and altogether without profundity of erudition.
Tet, shamefully ignorant of the records of the past, they
sfieetad to doubt the authenticity of that inspired volume
whoee evidences they had never probed, and permitted
their captions ignorance to quibble and contend where the
reverent learning of a Locke and a Newton believed and
adored. Yet even Byron was shocked by the profanity
of his friend, and seems to have had at times a " certain
fearful looking for a jndgment to come," which forbade
entire security on the brink of min. Whilst at Diodati,
Dear Oeneva, he wrote the third canto of Childe Harold's
Pilgrimage ; to this succeeded The Prisoner of Chillon, A
Dream, and other Poems. In October, 1818, he visited
Italy, and settled at Venice in November. Of his course
of life whilst in this city, we have no disposition to enter
into the particulars. It is no pleasant thing to linger oref
nch sad detaila Mr. Moore has increased the public
•ensure, before richly merited by some of his own efta-
Bions, by the additional sin of apologizing for the afaame-
fnl conduct of his friend and brother poeL For this
nason, and others, an expurgated edition of Moore's Life
of Byron is as necessary for the parlour table, as an ex-
purgated edition of his lordship's poems. In 1817 ap-
peared Manfred, a Tragedy, and The Lament of Tasso.
In the next year he published the fourth and last cnnto
of Childe Harold, which tended to keep alive the interest
felt in the personal experience of the poet. Beppo ap-
peared in the same year, and in the next, (1819,) the tale
of Maieppa, and the first part of Don Juan were given to
the poblie. At an evening party, given by the Countosa
Bonsoni, he became acquainted with the Countess Quio-
eioli. Teresa Ga'mba, the daughter of a Romagnese noble-
man, had recently been emancipated from the restraints
of a convent, and became the wife of a widower in ad-
Taneed life, who in his younger days had been distin-
guished as the friend of Alfieri, and in hia old age was as
nneh courted for his wealth. At the time of this ill-os-
•ortod union, Tereea was only eighteen, very beautiful,
md, M appears by the sequel, equally indiscreet The
•tory of the first evening of their acquaintance can be best
told by herself:

■^I became acquainted with Lord Byron In the spring of 1819:
—be was Introduced to me at Teniee, by the Countess Benxonl,
at one of that lady's parties. This Introduction, which had so
much Influence over the lives of us both, toOk place conttary to
our Irishes, and had been permitted by us only tram courtesy.
For myself more &tlgued tlun usual tlwt evening on account of
tile late hours they keep at Tenke, I went with great repugnance
to this party, and purely In obedience to Count OoiecioU. Lord
9yron. too^ who was avene to fimnlng new acqnalntancee — alleg-
1^ that he had entirely renounced sdl attachments, and was un-
wflllng any more to expose himself to their eonseqnoncM — on
being requested by the Countess Bensonl to allow himsalf to be

rsented to me, reftifled, and, at last, only assented from a desire
oblige her. His noble and exquisitely beautlAil countenance,
the tone of his rolce. his mannera, the thousand enchantments
ttiat sofronnded him, rendered him so dffierent and so superior a
being to any whom I had hitherto seen, that It was Impossible be
siionld not hare left the meet profound imprseslon on me. From
that evening, during the whole of my subsequent stay at Yenlee,
ve met eveiy day."

We need only dwell upon this unhappy story long
•nough to remark, that when Count GuiccioU was, for po-
BtiesJ reasons, banished from the Tuscan States, and em-
barked for Genoa, his wife remained under Lord Byron's
protaetioB. An application to the Pope severed the legal
He vhiefa etSIl bound her to her hosband.

In December, 1819, he left Teniee, and after visiting
of the Italian dominions of Austria, took up his

residenee at Ravenna, and subseqaently at Pisa. In 1820
he published Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice, intended to
illustrate the theory of the dramatic unities. Upon this
vexed question we shall hardly be expected to enter. In
1821' he published his celebrated epistle to the Rev. WU<
liam Lisle Bowles, entitled, A Letter to the Author of
Strictures on the Life and Writings of Pope. In the same
year appeared Tbo^wo Foscari, a Tragedy; Sardanapalus,
a Tragedy ; and Cain, a Mystery. Perhaps this last is the
most shocking exhibition of folly and skepticism of which
the author was ever guilty. What folly, can be greater
than that which srraigna the decroea of infinite wiadom,
becauae nnfathomablo by man'a limited eapaoitiea?

In tho year following, Byron and Shelley— por tioHU
fratnim — in conjunction with Mr. Leigh Hunt) oom-
menced the publication of The Liberal, a periodical which
was discontinued after the 4tb number, owing to the death
of Shelle;, who was drowned b; the upsetting of a plea-
sure-boat in the Mediterranean. Thus perished one of
the most tml; original poets that England has ever seen.
Had his Judgment been equal to his genius, and his pas*
sions under proper control, be would have proved a bene-
factor instesid of an iqjnry to his race.

In the Liberal first appeared The Vision of Judgment,
(elicited by a work with the same title by Southey,) which
subjected the publisher to a prosecution, and a fine of £100.
Heaven and Earth, a Mystery, was presented to the pnblio
through the same channel. To these latter compositions
of hie lordship, we have to add the concluding cantos of
Don Juan, Werner, a Tragedy, and the Deformed Trans-
formed.

In September, 1822, he quitted Pisa, and passed the
winter at Genoa. About this time he received an Invita-
tion from the London Committee of Philhellonea, through
Mr. Blaqniore, to aid in the deliverance of Greece from
the Mohammedan thraldom under which it aulTered.
Aa thia subject had already enlisted the sympathies of a
poet who had long loved Greece for the past, and mourned
over her present degradation, the invitation was cordially
welcomed :

" I cannot express to you how much I fiMl Interested In the
cause, and nottalns but the hopes I entertained of wKnesslug the
libemtlon of Italy itself ptevented me long ago from returning to
do what I could, as an IndlTldual. In that land which It Is an
honour even to have visited."— £e(tcr lo Mr. Bla^uUn, Mban,
Apra 5, 1823.

On the 14th of Jaly, 1823, he hired an English vessel,
and with a few followers sailed from Genoa for Cepholonia,
which he reached at the commencement of the third cam-
paign. Finding from hia friends, Trelawney and Browne,
that Miasolongbi was in a state of blockade, he advanced
400,000 piastres (about £12,000) for the relief of the be-
sieged city. On tho &th of January, 1824, be arrived at
Miasolonghi, and attempted to niise a force with which to
attack Lepanto. He took 500 Suliotes into hia pay, but
his expedition was delayed by the disorderly and unsettled
temper of his troops. Those whom he would gladly have
aided could not agree among themselves, and discordant
confusion reigned in their councils. Diaappointed and
chagrined, hia constitution gave way, and on the 15th of
Febmary he was attacked by a severe fit of epilepsy. En-
treaties were unsucceaafuUy urged to induce him to remove
to the healthier climate of Zante : " I cannot," he write)
to a friend, "quit Greece while there is a chance of mr
being even of (supposed) utility. There is a stake worth
milliona auch aa I am, and while I can atand at all, I must
atand by the cause." Four times within a month .the at-
tack was repeated, yet he recovered. But on the 9th of
April, being caught in a shower while taking his ride on
horseback, a rheumatic fever, accompanied with inflamma-
tion of the brain, seized him. This occurred on the 12th
inst, and on the 10th he breathed his last. The account
of his last moments, as given by Major Parry, Dr. Mil-
linger, and his faithful servant Fletcher, is deeply inte-
resting. He hod been charging Fletcher, in the weakness
of expiring nature, to carry messages to his sister, to
Lady Byron, and others, and

" He then said, ' Now I have told you sll.' ■ My lord,' replied
Fletcher, ' I have not understood a word your lordship has been
saying.' 'Not understand meV exclaimed Lord Byron, with a
kiok of tho utmoet distress, 'What b pity !— then It is too late;
all Is over I* ' I hope not,' answered Fletcher, ' but the Lord's will
be done.* ' Tee. not mine,* said Byron. He then tried to utter a
few worda of which none were Intelligible, except ' My slstei^-my
child I' He spoke also of Greece, saying, 'I have given l»r my
time, my means, my health — and now I give her my Ufbl — what
could I do more V . . . It was about six o'clock on the evening of

Lord B^ron in February, 1834, two monthi before hie de-
eeaie, hu publiifaed a verj internting aseoant of their
•enTenationi. We gire a brief extract :

to call, and bring with me lamia's Sextoh Book. 1 took It In
-my bend, and went onee mora to the Ulnatrlone author's reeldenee.
Ke roee from bis ooueb when I entered, and, preieina mj hand
waraily,ield, 'Hare yon btoocht the Sketch Book I' 1 banded H

'Broken Heeri.' 'That,' said be, ' Is one of the finest things erer

reading one of tbe saost tonehliig portkms of that moumftil pleoe,
I obeerred that Byroo wept He tamed hSi eyee upon Dse, and
add, ' Yon see me weep, sir. Irving bfanself nerer wrote that story
wHhont weeping ; nor ean I bear It without team. I bare not
wept moeh in uile world, ftir trouble never briogs tears to my

fee; bat I alware bare tears t>r the "Broken mart"' Wben
read the leet Une of Moore's Tarsse at tbe close of tbe pieoe,

jmir gorenunent to recognise Oreece as an Independent nation.

"Theee wen the last days of Byron; end I shall slwavs eond-
der myself happy that I was permitted ao often to be with him."

The personal appearaooa of Lord Byron ig eo well
known throngh the medium of the portraits preSzed to
hii poema, that any deeoriplion seems eaperAaoaa, and
must neoeaaarily be rery nnsatisfaotory.

"Many piotnns have lieen painted of him," nys • fair
Critio of hii featam, " with rarioas inooesi ; bnt the ez-
eessire beauty of hia lips eseiqied every painter and sculp-
tor. In their oeaeeless play they repreeented ereiy emo-
tion, whether pale with anger, curled In disdain, smiling
in triumph, or dimpled with archness and lore."

His eyes were light, and rery ezpressire, his head re-
markably amall, the forehead high, and set otT to great
•drantage by his glossy, dark-brown curls. His teeth
were white and regolar, hia nose, though handsomely,
tnther thickly, shaped, and his complexion coioorlaai.
in« hands were white, and aristocratically smaU. In
height he was five feet eight inches and a half. The lame-
ness of his right foot, so constant a subject of mortifica-
tion to him, was in reality so slight, that Mr. Hoore tells
tis he had no little difflculty In deciding, amidst the con-
flicting testimony of friends, which foot it was ttiat was
•0 affected.

It will now be proper to qaote some opinions upon the
works of an author, who, whether commended or censured,
will always occupy a distinguished rank in the records of
Kngllsh literature :

«If the finest poetry be that which learee tbe deepeet Imaree.

Lord Byron preseDted Hr. Hoore with his autobio-
graphy, and Hr. H. sold the H8. to John Hurray for 2000
gnineaa. Lord Byron's family, after his decease, expressed
■ome nnwillingness to have the HS. published. If r. Hoore,
with a delicacy worthy of the highest praise, destroyed the
papers, and returned Hr. Hurray the 3000 guineas pur-
tiuse-raoney, with interest An offor to reimburse the large
aum thus eheerfhily sacrificed was positively reftued by B&.
Hoore. From specimens of this autobiography quoted to
na Vf Washington Irving, who inspected the HS., we are
perfectly satiafled with (he disposition made of the original.

Two of our oountrymen — Hr. Qeorge Tioknor, author of
The History of Spanish Literature, and Hr. Edward
Erer^t, late minister of the United States of America at
the Court of 8t James — hare favoured us with their HS.
BeeoUeetions of Lord Byron. Hr. Tioknor writes us,
(July 33, 1858, "from memoranda made at the time,")

"I became aoqulnted with Lord Byron In June, 181&, thronsh
I of Mr. Oilford, editor of the Quarterly Rerlew, who

a peraonal regard for tae mat poet, and to whom alooe. u
Lord ByrMi mora than oooe told me, ha suppoMd hiaiMlf to be in-
debted for the Mnrlpeis ihown him In that eminently Torv JoamaL
Itfrd l^ron was then llTlng In a large and fine hooaa In PlocadUly.
I MW hin there only s few times — four In all — daring the ten d»s
I wss In London after I became acquainted with him ; beildei
whic^ bowerer, I met him once in Hurray's room la Albemarle
SC, and once paseed an eTenfng with blm. Lady Byron, and Sir
Kal|d& and Ladr Noel, In hla prirate box In Dmry L^e Theatre, to
see Keen In * Rale a WlfcL*— Lord Byron being then one of the
■M negliycommlttee of that theatre and an admirer of Keen.
The whalm of each an acquaintance was necessarily not ranch, and
eouU give only the most nuperfldal view even of his manners.

**Baeii time that I saw blm at home, Lady Byron was with him,
er came Into the room while I was there. On these occasions, as
mil as at lbs theatre, Us manners towards her were very aataral

1 rfamle^ and those of a biQipy man. He had then been married

mt sue months, and was s^erated from her aboat ilx months
afterwards, under circnmstancee rtill imperfectly explained to the
poblie, bat which were known at the time to Dr. Lusfalnffton. His
nmarioable letter, pabltabad at the end of Moore's Ufe, wfaen taken
In eooneetlOB with the para and elevated character of the eminent
BMgietrate who wrvte It to express his dellberaCe Judgment on
tte whole afUr, can leave no reaeooatde doubt that the separation
was ande tnm oauess vevy dleeredllable to Lord Byron.

* The first tisM I saw bun, I was struck with hie movements as
ha came Into the room where I was waiting for him. Tbera was a
scrssn before the door, so that I ooald not immediately see him ;
tat the soond that cane from bdiind it was as If two or three
peepte ware entering tofeether. He advanced towards me rapidly,
witn Us persea beat forward, owing. I supposed, to the m^con-
" 1 of his lower limbs, for I notloed the same thing on oUier
L Soon alter he eat down he took ap one of hie feet —
nUeh wfre nicely laced in Wdllngton boots, and had fiuhionable
B drfQ paataloons drawn down over them tight and low— and
1 petted It, as I thought, to sea whether I took aay espe-
cial notice of It I was oareftil not to do so. I had lieen warned.
But, except in tbeee trifles, I never saw any thing In his manner
ttnt was probably the result of his deformity. In an the upper
part of Mapenon he was very handsome, round, and ftill; but his
eomplealoa was sallow and pale. His general air was perfectly
mmj and aatnraL The tones of his votoe wen low and conciliating.

** Ho tallcad a good deal about America, and was cnrions on the
suh|«ct of our anlverilties and literature. Inquiring particularly

~ " r we looked upon Barlow as our Homer. Of his own * Eng-

VBvy angiy, — addlu that those wen the mily drewnstanoes under
whn a maa would write sueh a satlra. SInoe he had come beck
Id »-c'"'^j be said that Lord Hotlsnd, who had been very kind to
hfen, and Bogirs, who had beoome Ue friend, had asked him not
to ooailnue to reprint It, and so he had suppressed It. Indeed, he
went en. he had beooou of tele aooualuted with oeariy all the
psnoBS he had satlrixed, and had a hearty liking for them, espe-
cially as they dM not nfttse to know a perKm who had so much
shnssd theea. He had ao longer any quarrri with any of them
except Lord Osrllile: and, as that was a femfly ^Iferenoe^ be said
he sappoasd It woald never be settled. On every aooount, thers'

ibre, he exprensed himself as glad that the book was ont of print;
and vet he showed no regret when I told him that it wss freely
dreuated In the United SUtes. His poems published during hM
minority he mid he had luppressed beeanse tbey were not worth
reeding; and he wondered that our booksellers iboukl reprint them.

'My lordl my lordl a great battle has been fought In the Low
Oonntrles, and Bon^wrte Is entirely defeated.' 'But Is It tmeT
said Lord Byron ; ' is It true?' ' Yes, mr lord, It Is certainty trusb
An sld-d»camp arrived In town last night : ho has been In Down-
ina Street this morning, and I have Just seen blm, ss be was golaur
to I^y Welllngton'a He says he thinks Bonaparte Is now In fhll
retreat towards Paris.* After an instant's panne, Xord Byron r^
piled, ' I am d — d sorry for It.* And then, after another sll^t
pause, he added, ' I didn't know bnt I might live to see LMd
Oastlereegh's head on a pole ; but I suppose T sha'n*t now.* And
this was the first Impreeslon produced on hie impetuous and ill-
governed nature by the news of the battle of Waterloa Two days
afterwards I met him at Hnmy's Rooms, where he received very
good-hnmonredty the satirical congntnlatlons of Olflbrd and some
other of his Tory friends on the great victory ; but he did not di»
guise his feelings or opinions almnt It, and wtmid not admit that
the emperor*! case wai deopetate even then. 1 was much surprised
stall this, though less than I sbonld have been If I had notalrmdy
heard similar feelings about the wlurie war of the Hundred Days
with Bonaparte expressed by leading Whigs, sueh ss the excellent
Mr. Rooooe at Liverpool, who of course spoke more wisely and
mildly on the snfc)|ect, and by Dr. Parr, at Hattoo, who was ^most
ss extravagant as Lord Byron.

" A day or two afterwanli he sent me a copy of all his works,
with letten of Introduction for Oreece and Turkey,— adding to the
one for All Pacha a cnrions pIstoU which I snbsequently returned,
ss I went to ^wln instead of Oreece. Two i>f the letten I still
possem; and I have Just observed, by a comparison with notsi
that I received from Lady Byron twenty vean iMer, that one of
them, which Is In very nloely-tnmed French, Is in her handwritln|^

** On another occasion Lord Byna telked to me of a plan he had
once entertained of establishing himself In Oreece ; and twioe he
expressed to me his purpose of visiting the United States, saying
the first time that he had never envied any men more than he did
Lewis and Clarke when he read the account of their travela and
that he had ever since fUt the greatest desire to lee our Indiana
The * Bngllsh Bards,' to which he recurred egalo, he told me he
wrote at his place In the country the winter before he went to
Oreece, at a Ume when there was a heavv fell of snow on the
ground ; and he k^t house for a month, auring which time he
never mw the light of day, — rising in the evening after dark, and
going to bed in the nMHulnc before dawn, * The Oonatr' he said
be wrote In eleven dajrs and copied fiv the press on the twelfth,-—
adding that whenever he undertook any thing he found It necss
sary to give himself wholly to IL For tUs reason he supposed he
oouid never complete CbUde Harold, which he began at Yanlna
and broke off at Smvma. It wu so long since he had laid it adds
that be should not, be believed, ever be able to reeume IL

"An American copy of bis worhi, in two snudl and very shabby
volumea, printed, I think, at Philaddphla, gave him ^Ident plea-
sure. He was gjad, be add. to lee it In so cheap a form that every-
body ODuld buy It. It was In boards ; and he sdd he should keA
It so, preferring to have ft Jnst as It came fTom America. In thb
and in other ways he showed that he valued his American reputl^
tloo, of which be was then Jnst beginning to be aware.

** Above two years after this, In October, 1817, as I was pasdng
Ikom Yeoloe to Ferrara, I stopped at Mire on the Brenta,— the Mfaa
of Dante*s Purgatorio, — where Lord Byron wu then llring. It was
eleven o'dock in the forenoon ; but be was not up. Fletcher, hli
body-eervant. however, remembered me, and, after taking my card
to him, showed me Into a room nicely fUmlihed In the English
feshlon, where I found Hr. Hobhouse (now Lord Broughton) hard
at work with learned-looking books, and had some very agreeable
talk with him till Lord Byron came down. Contrary to my ex-
pectation, he showed no marks of the wild and recklces life he had
led dnoe I mw him in London. HIi onnntenance was Just as felr,
smooth, and round as erer. His oonversation, however, I thought
a little different. Iti tone seemed to me to be mora llvdy, various,
and decided. As I had been a good deal In Oermany, be asked me
If I had seen Ooethe ; and, finding that I had. be put to me many
questions about him. He told me that Mr. M. O. Lewis had mads
him an extemporaneous translation of Faust, reading it to him fhim
Oerman Into Kngllsh,— which accounted to me for a certain reeem>
blanoe In parte of Manfred to that remarkable poem, which had
not then been translated Into Bnglisfa and which I was airan ha
could not read In the origlnd. He was curious, too, to know about
Qoethe's personal enemlM, whose number he had understood to be
eondderaole ; and when I gave him an account of a very severe
article on Ooethe In the Sdlnburgfa Review, which, to hb great
annoyance, had been translated ami published under his nose at
Jena by Oken, Lord Byron showed at first an amndng eagemesi
to hear all about it, but then, eaemlng to check fatmsell^ said, as If
half In earnest though stUI hiughing, ' And yet I don't know what
sympathy I can have with <Methe except that of an Injured
author.* And thia, T think, was the exact truth ; for he left on my
mind Uiat morning no doubt that he felt hbnsdf to be nade^
Tdued as a poet In Sngland.

** Both he and Mr. Hobhouse spoke with great saHsfectko of
thdr leddence in Italy, — Lord Byron, to my surprise, placing lis
attractions mucfa higher than those of Oreece. It wOl be remem^
bered that be had then written, but had not printed, the fourth
eanto of Childe Harold; and Mr. Hobhonaa, I have always snp>
poeed, was, when I entered the parlour at BUra, at yfoA on the
notes to It, which he published soon afterwards.'*

modern Oraeoe, that IMInc was tmbed to rathnilum bj the two
^nt cantM of Cbllde Harold, which appeared the fear Mter 1 left
ooUege. Determined to visit Oreeoe noraelf^ I felt oo that acocmnt
eqiedally deelrotu, on my arrlTal in London In the ipring of 18U,
of making the aoqnaintaaoe of Lord Byron. 1 was olTered an in-
troducttoD to him by more than one fHeud, — particularly by Richani
gharpe, Eaq., better known in Mciety aa * ConTenatlon Sbarpe.*
Deiayi, howereri took place, and my youthful impatience led ine
■omewhat to oreratep the bonnda of strict propriety. I addreosed
a note to Lord Byron, lending with it a copy of a pceticai trifle
privately printed by me some time befbre. In which be waa men-
tioned, and aaking the honor of his acquaintance. 1 reoeired a
moat obliging answer from him the next day, accompanied with a
■et of bis poems In four Tolumos, (render^ doubly valuable by
marginal corrections in his handwriting,) and appointing an hour
when he would see me. His receptiou of me was meet cordial.
Interoonrse between the twg countries was just reopened after the
war of 18ia-181i, and I waa the first person from the United States
whose acquaintance he bad made. He expressed high satMhctlon
at the account I gave him of his transatlantic fame. Our ooii-
Tersatiou was principally on the state of education and literature
in this country, and on Greece, to which he said he was so much
attached that bat for &mlly considerations he should be disposed
to pass his llfb there. He offered me, without solicitation on my
part, letters to his firiends there, and, among them, to All Pacha o^
^banla.

"The state of public affklrs was then very critical. Napoleon,
recently escaped flrom Elba, was advancing rapidly to meet the
Prussian and English armies In Belgium. The probable reeult of
the Impending conflict was discussed with warmth by Lord Byron.
'Napoleon,' said he, ' will at first, no doubt, drive the Duke of Wel-
lington. That I shall be sorrv for: 1 don't want to have my
coontrymen beaten. But I will tell yon what I do want. I want
to see Lord Castlereagh's head carried on a pike beneath that
window.' This fieellng, violent as It Is, soems to have been pretty
dbellberately cherished by Lord Byron. It la expressed in his eon-
Tersation with Mr. TIckoor a few days later, after the battle ot
Waterloo bad been fought; and in a letter to Moore written a day
or two before I saw Lord B. he says, * Of politics we have nothing
but the yell for war ; and Castlereagh Is preparing his head fbr
the plk^ on which we sbsjl see it carried before be has doce.'

"Lord Byron — at this time in the et\}oymentuf hia reputation as
the chief of the modern British Pamassns — liad laid aside entirely
the misanthropic tone and eccentric manoers with which be re.
turned from the East. He was a groat favorite in society, and
happy, to all appearance, at home. He had also formed friendly
regions with many of those whom bo had attacked most fiercely
In * English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.' Mr. Rogers gave me an
amusing account of the commencemect of his acquaintance with
Lord Byron on bis return from the East It took place in con-
nection with the reconciliation of Byron and Moore, of which the
•ucoesslve steps are minutely related In Moore's Life of Byron. Mr.
bogera, having been informed by Moore that Byrvn and he had
uraed on a meeting as friends, proposed that it should be at his
^r. Rogers's) house, and desired Moore to invito Byron to meet him
at dinner there. This Invitation was accepted In the most gracious
manner by Byron. It was Intended at first that the party should
be confined to the trio ; but Oswpbeli happened to call on Mr.
Rogers In the course of the morning, and was Invited to Join them.
This was in the first week of November, ISll; and at that time

Sirron waa not personally known to Rogers, Moore, or Oampbell I
r. Rogers Introduced himself to Lord Bvrtin, and presented tha
other two aa they arrived. Mr. Rogers — whose dinners were always

Eirfect — ^had taken pains to have a particularly nice one that day.
s soon found, however, somewhat to bis oonsternatlon. that there
iras nothing on the table which Lord Byron could eat or drink.
Be was at that time in one of the frequent fits of abstinence which
he practised to check a tendency to grow stout. After refusing
every thing on the table, be aaked for bard biscuit and soda-water,
Delther of which happened to be in the house. The soda-water
waa sent for and procured, but the biscuit was not to be bad in
the neighborhood. Lord Byron then called for the potatoes, filled
bis plate with them, and, ponrlng the contents of the vinegar-cruet
over them, made a be«rty meaL His manner and conversation on
this occasion did not i^pear to have pleased Mr. Rogers so much aa
they did Mr. Hoore. Whenever I saw Lord Bymu, his deportment
and conreiaation were those of a well-bred, intelligent man of the
world, wholly free from affectation and eccentricity.

"It has been a question whether Lord Bvron was lame in one
Ibot or both. Mv own impression, when I saw him, was that the
defbrmlty extended equally to both feet : and such I understand
Mr. Tiehtwney, speaking from actual inspection after death, do-
dare* to have been the case. It waa concealed flvm the eye by
Teiy long and loose trousers bnt caused him to walk with a slight
Jerk at the hip, Mr, Rogers and Lord Byron were leaving a party
together, shortly after bis return fTom the Continent. A llnkman
accosted Lord B. by name. Mr. Rogers hoodleasly said, ' Yon see
everybody knows yon already,' Lord Byron r^oiued, with a bitter
•xpreaaion, ' Yea ; I am deformed.' This feeling seems to have been
habitually present to his mind. If we can trust bis blographera;
hut on no occasion when I saw him did his countemuce wear the
axpresslon of gloom or care.

"Three years and a half after I saw him in London, I had aa
opportunity of renewing my acquaintance with Lord Byron at
Venice, whore I saw him a few times In the autumn of 1818. Not-
wlthstanding the events which had occurred since I saw him la
London, there was no change in his general appearance and man-
ner. Onr conversation was again very much on Greece, which I
waa to Tlalt the next spring and for which he fhmlshed me addt
tlonal letter*. He now spoke with some confidence of taking np
bis abode there, though the ravnlntlon which caused him to do so
bad not jet broken out He dwell at some length on the state of
■odety Id Italy, particuhu'ly in Venice, and especially on the circia
nt the Oountess Albrizzl's, which Lord B. attended every evening
fcr two yean, to which I had the good fortune to be introduced by
Ogo DmooIo. Be spoke also with a good deal of Interest of the

Armenian stadias which be carried on for a sboft tioe nnder
Vather Pascal Anger, of the Armenian Convent at Venloe. This
learned and amiable eoclcalastic, whom I had the pleasure of know-
lug, told me that lor the short time that Lord Byron stsdled vHh
htm ha niade rapid piogmas. He tranalated Into English Father
Anchor'a Armeno-Italhui grammar, and also the unauthentic
Epistles of Paul to tlie Oorinthlana, which had never appeared in
an English version. They are fbund, as tranalated by Lord Byron,
In the Appendix to Moore's Life.
"It Isscanely necessary to add that Lord Byron's letten to hla

frisnds In Gorf^ Albania, and Greece Proper were of the greatest
service to me, especially at the court of All Pacha. ' Dark Hnetar,
bis son,' so well known to the readen of Cbllde Harold, was Che
flrat person of eminence whom I saw at Yanlaa, of whldt be waa
then the governor."

Cadwallader, Thomas, H.D., d. 1779, aged 72, was

were among the earliest made in this country. He was
noted for his great courtesy of manner, which was once
the means of saving his life. The story is as fullows :

"A proTlnclal officer, weary with bis Utb, had detcmiinod to
AosS the Ant person wliom be should meet, in order that jnilice
aboold bring him to the pUlowa An easier method of reaching
bh end wonld have b»!n to shoot bimaalt However, with his re-

hider. whose eourteous * flood morning, sir, What sport f also con-
fasted hint Ue then went to a tavern, and shot a Mj. Scull, Ibr

which be was hanged." See Ramsay's B«v.; Thachsr^Med. Biog.;
Allon-i Diet

He pub. a Dissertation on the Qiao Passion, entitled.
An Essay on the West India Dry Gripes, 1745, in whieh
he recommended the use of opiates and mild cathartics,
instead of quicksilver, then employed. This was one of the
earliest American medical treatises. Boylston, Harwood,
and Thacher had previously pub. medical treatises.

Crodmon, d. abont 680, the father of English Song,
is first mentioned by Bede, who gives us to understand
that he occupied, at least occasionally, the humble post of
a cow-herd. He was so ignorant as to be unable to bear
his part in the alternate vocal music with which our Saxon
forefathers recreated themselves at their feasts. Csedmon,
it is related, was supematurally inspired with the gift of
song whilst asleep in his stable ; and the Abbess Hilda
considered herself honoured by his consenting to become
a monk in her house. Bede informs us that be celebrated
in magnificent strains much of the Old and New Testa-
ment's history, the " terrors of the day of judgment, the
pains of bell, and the sweetness of the heavenly king-
dom." Junius pub. in 1655 a MS. supposed to contain
some of the poetry of this distinguished bard. A new
edit, edited by the eminent Saxon scholar. Rev. Benjamin
Thorpe, was pub. by the Society of Antiquaries of London,
in 1832, consisting of a text formed careflilly from the
original MS., and accompanied by a literal English version ;
and illustrated by a volume of plates taken from the ilia-
minatioDs of the MS. This work is commended to the
careful attention of the reader. -

imzlmns Apportionem Antiqnitstis Ozoniensis Aeademiss :
•b Ozoniensi qnodam, Lon., 1588, llmo. The origin of
this work was as follows : Thomas Cains of Ozford had
written in 1566, a treatise, Assertio antiqnitatis Ozoniensis
Aeademiss, in which he afflrmed that Ozford was the moat
ancient University, being founded by some Oreck philoso-
phers, the companions of Bmtns, and restored by King
Alfred in 870. It is said that Archbishop Parker sent a
oopy of this treatise to John Cains of Cambridge, our au-
thor, and requested him to vindicate his University. It
was a labour of love with tbe valiant Cambridge man, who
wrote the above-named dissertation, which he pub. with the
Ozford champion's treatise. John Cains does not stop at
trUles, for so far is he fVom yielding the point, that he un-
dertakes to prove that Cambridge was founded by Cantalier,
807 years before Christ, and eonsequently was 1267 yean
older than Ozford I Thomas Caius, nothing dannted, wrote
a critique ifpon his advenaiy's arguments. We commend
this subject to aatiqaariea who now adorn the halls of Oz-
ford and Cambridge. John Cains pub. a list of his works
in De Libris Propriis, Liber unns, 1570. He was one of
flio best Grecians of his day.

Callanan, James Joseph, Irish poet, b. at Cork,
1796, d. at Lisbon, 1829, partly educated at Maynooth
College for the Roman Catholic priesthood. He subsequently
entered Trinity College, Dublin, with a view of becoming
a barrister, and there produced two Prize Poems, — one on
the Accession of Oeorge IV., the other on the Restoration
by Alexander the Oreatof the Spoils of Athens. Suddenly
i&andoning the University and the study of Uie law, the
remainder of his life in Ireland was spent in the duties of
tutorship, partly in private families and partly in the
school kept at Cork by the celebrated Dr. William Maginn.
Encouraged by this groat scholar, Callanan translated a
series of six Irish Popular Songs, which appeared in 1823
|d voL xiiL of Blackwood's Magazine. Between this time
and 1827, when he quitted Ireland for Lisbon, Callanan
wrote numerous poems, of which the most ambitious was
"The Recluse of Inchidony," in the Spenserian stania. His
most successful pieces were lyrical. The best are "The
Virgin Mary's Bank," and the spirited ballad-ode called
"Ctousane Barra," commencing

" There Is a green Island in lone Oonnne Barra,
Where Allua of songs rushes forth as an arrow," —
the most perfect, perhaps, of all Irish minor poems in the
melody of its rhythm, the flow of its language, and the
weird force of its expression. Mr. Callanan died u he was
about returning to Ireland. A small 12mo volume of his
Poems was published at Cork almost simultaneously with
his death. A new edition, with a Memoir, — chiefly an ex-
pansion of an article in Bolster's Quarterly Magazine of
Ireland, — appeared in 1847, and a 3d edition, edited by M.
F. McCarthy, author of the Memoir, was issued in 1848.

Camden, William, 1551-1823, " The British Pan-
sanias," was a native of London, a son of Sampson Cam-
den, a house-painter, who had removed fVom Lichfield to
the metropolis. His mother was of the ancient family of
the Curwens of Workington, in Cumberland. He received
the rudiments of education in Christ's Hospital and St
Paul's school, and in his 15th year was admitted a servitor
in Magdalen College, Oxford. Failing to obtain a demi'i
place here, he removed to Broadgate's Hall, now Pembroke
College. He was unsDcce8sf\il as a candidate for a Fel-
lowship in All Souls' College, and in 1570 failed in ob-
taining the degree of A.B. This, however, was conferred
upon him in 1573. In 1575 he was appointed second mas-
ter of Westminster school, and in 1593 was advanced to
the post of bead master. From the troublesome, though
honourable, duties pertaining to this office he was rclievod
in 1597, when, by the interest of Sir Fnlke Oreville, he
was appointed to the office of Clarencieux King-at-Arms.
He was now enabled to pursue those antiquarian pursuits —
by extensive peregrination through England and diligent
study of records — the results of which have conferred so
much celebrity upon his name. After ten years of inde-
fatigable industry he pub. 1586, in Latin, 8vo, the first
edition of the Britannia. The title retained in all the
editions was as follows : Britannia, sive Flurentiseimorum
Regnomm Angllie, Scotia, Hibornise, ot Insulatum atlja-
centium, ex intima Antiquitate, Chorogniphica Doscriptio,
2d edit., 1587, 12mo; 3d, 1590 ; 4th, 1594, 4to; 5th, ICOO;
eth and last edit, corrected by the author, 1607, fol. ; the
1st edit with Maps. As the work passed from one edition
to another, enlargements, corrections, and improvements
were made. The 4th edit, 1594, was attacked by Ralph
Brooke, who was answered in the Apology to the Reader in
ttie 5th edit Brooke again took up the cudgels ; — but of
this controversy we have already treated under Ralph
Brooke. In 1810 the Britannia was trans, by Philemon
Holland, who is supposed to have consulted the author,
which impression confers great credit upon this version.
The best edit is that of 16S7, fnl. In 1695 Bishop Gibson
trans. The Britannia into English, with large additions at
the end of each county and Holland's most material notes
at the bottom .of each page. The names of Bishop Gib-
son's coadjutors in this labour will be found in the Censura
Literaria. This trans, was reprinted in 1753, 2 vols, fol.,
and again In 1772, 2 vols, fol., with some corrections and
improvements from bis lordship's MS. in bis own copy.
A first vol. of a trans, by William Oldys was printed in
4to, but Mr. Gough thinks was never finished nor dated.

It waa immediately condemned by the Inquiaition. Hit
attached Mend and patron. Lord Burleigh, had in 1697, a
year before hia death, urged Camden to compile a hiatory
of the reign of Klitabeth. His lordahip had carefully
noted the events and actors of the time, and hia informa-
tion and literary records were of invaluable assistance to
the historian. Camden completed the flrat part of hta taak,

« Camden's History of Queen Elisabeth may be esteemed good

Dr. Robertson protests against Camden's version of
Scottish affairs nnder Queen Mary aa more inaccurate than
any which has come down to us. Doubtless the hiatorian

Is not for these that his works will be read. Their principal nwit
Is their easy, animated flow of Interesting narrative. No one pos-
sesses better than Lord Campbell the art of telling a sforr: of
passing over what Is commonplace ; of merely soggestlng what

Campbell, Thomas, 1777-1844, anative of Glasgow,
was educated at the University of that city, where he was
distinguished for his proficiency in classical studios. In
1799 he pub. The Pleasures of Hope, Edin., 12mo, dedi-
cated to Dr. Anderson. Four editions were called for
within a year. He had sold the copyright to Mr. Mundell
for £21, but the generous bookseller gave tbe author £50
for each succeeding edition. Campbell now visited tbo
Continent, and from the monastery of St. Jacob witnessed
the battle of Hobenlindep, Dec. 3, 1800. He has com-
memorated tbe dreadful spectacle in lines which will-never
be forgotten. At Hamburg, in 1801, he composed Tbe
Exile of Erin, and Ye Mariners of England. Returning
home, he resided for upwards of a year in Edinburgh,
where he wrote Lochiel's Warning, which Sir Walter Soott
heard read, read it himself, and then repeated tbe whole
from memory. In 1803 be pnb. in London an edition of
his poems in 4to. In this year be was married to Miss
Martha Sinclair, of Edinburgh, and settled at Sydenham,
in Kent. In 1806 he pub. Annals of Great Britain from
the Accession of George III. to tbe Peace of Amiens. In
1805 his moans had been increased by a pension uf £200
per annum. In 1800 appeared Gertrude of Wyoming, a
Pennsylvanian Tale, (and other Poems,) which conllraied
his poetical reputation. In 1818 he again visited Germany,
In 1819 be pnb. his Specimens of tbe British Poets, with
biographicsl and critical notices, and an Essay on English
Poetry, 7 vols. 8vo; 1841, '45, '48.

«'In tbe Biographies, the Editor has exerted tbe main part of

" Rich In exquisite examples of English Poetry, and suggestions
of deligbtfill thoughts beyond any volume in the laiiguage."^*

'< We are very glad to see Mr. Campbell In any way, and we
think the work which he has now given us very excellent and de-
lightful."— Edin. Jifvifv.

The Selections however are not tbe bat " Specimens" of
the authors. From 1810-20 he edited The New Monthly
Magazine, to which he contributed many beautiful poems :
of these, perhaps, The Last Man has been most admired.
In 1820 he delivered a course of Lectures on Poetry at
tbe Surrey Institution, In 1824 appeared Theodorio and
other Poems. In 1827 he was elected Lord Rector of the
University of Glasgow. The dignified Lord Rector oom-
menced his duties as follows :

" It was deep snow when ho reached the Gollegefreen, the Stn.
dents were dmwn op in parties, pelting one another: the poet ran
into the ranks, threw several snow-balls with unerring aim, then
summoning the srbolarsaronnd him in the hall, delivered a speech
replete with philosophy and eloquence. It is needlesa to say how
it was received." — Alijur CmnriNGHAK.

In 1830 he started tbe Metropolitan Magaiine, to
which Thomas Moore occasionally contributed. It Bubee-
quontly fell into tbe hands of Captain Marryat. In 1834
he pub. the Life of Mrs. Siddons, 2 vols. 8vo.

In his letters from tbe South, 1837, 2 vols. 8vo, or A
Poet's Residence in Algiers, 1845, 2 vols. 8vo, originally
pub. in The Kew Monthly Magazine, we have an enter-
taining picture of scenes wbioh produced a deep irapr«nion
on tbe writer.

" These admirable letters ftontsh us wttii by fiir the meat inte-

he eetablished a periodical for the scholars, entitled The
IQenMoeni, which he edited, and to whieb he eontributad
•ome remarkable P*pers signed B. In 17>7, in eoi^aoe-
tira with George Kllis, Frere, and others, he started The
Anti-Jaeobin, which was edited by Qiflbrd. In this pe-
rlodieal the Whigs were sorely berated by the choicest en-
^■•sof raillery and satire. Canning's parodies on Southey
and Darwin, the Knife Grinder, and the Bong of Rogero,
are examples of his rare powers of style and hnmour.

Capell, Edward, 1713-1781, a native of Suffolk, j
distinguished himself by his critical labonrs npon the text •■
of Shakspeare. He tells us that as early as 1745 ho was
allocked at the lieentionsness (wildness) of Hanmer's plan, |
and determined to prepare an edition " ex fide oodionm."
He pub. in 1768, 10 vols. Svo, an edition of his favourite
author, for wbieh bo received £300 from the bookseller.

" lie appeared almost as lawless u any of his predecesaon, vln-
dlcatlng his claim to pobllc notlra by fals established reputation,
the anthorltatlTe air of his notes, and the shrewd obsenrstlons, as
well aa majesty, of his prehee. . . . There Is not among the vari-
ous publloations of the present lltemry irra a more singular ocm-
poslUon than that * Introduction.* In style and manner It Is more
obsolete, and antique, than the age of which It treats. It has
since been added to the prolegomena of Johnson and Steevens's
edltton."— Kiy. Diet., 1798.

Oapell announced in the title-page,
■■ WhereuDto will be added, in some other volumes, notes, erltt-
eal and explanatmy, and a body of varlons readings entire."

To these was to be added another work disclosing the
sources from which Shakspear«

" Drew the greater part of hin knowledge in mythological and
dasslcal nutters, his ihble, his history, and even the seeming pe-
culiarities of language — to which we have given for title. The

After the assiduone labour of forty years, Mr. Oapell
died without seeing his great work in print, (a volume of
Notes and Readings had appeared in 1775, 4to;) it was
pub. by the care of Mr. Collins in 1783, 3 vols. 4td, en-

Carew, Thomas, b. about 1669, d. 1839, ganttamaa
of the Privy Chamber, and Sewer in Ordinary to Charles
L, studied at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. His liib
was that of an accomplished conrtier, dividing his time
between attendance on his royal master, amusement, and
the composition of many Iwautiful little poems, which an
sometimes highly censurable as partaking of the licentious
tone which disgraces so many of the writers of his period.
For this fault the author was sincerely penitent. Many
of his pieces were set to music by H. and W. Lawes, and
other composers, and published in his lifetime. Othen
appeared after his death in a 12mo vol., 1040 ; again in
1642, '81, '70, '72; with notes by Thomas Savies, 1772,
12mo ; a later edit. pub. at Edin., and a Selection by John
Fry of Bristol.
" A very Insignificant perfMmsnoe."

Carew's Coelum Britannicum, a Masque, was erronaonaly
ascrilwd to Sir William Davenant, and is in bis works,
1673, fol. Carew was a great favourite both with his poet-
ical brethren and the fashionable circles of the day.

"Catew't sonnets were more In request than any poet's of his
time, that Is, between 1630 and 1640, They were many of them
set to music by the two flunons composers, llenry and WUUam
Lawes, and other eminent masters, and sung at eourt in their
maaquea."— OUyr't MS. nota on Xonpftoaae.

Carew was one of the models upon which Pope formed
his style. The preceptor polished his lines with elaborate
care, for which he was gently rebuked by his friend, Sir
John Suckling :

" Tom Carew was next, but be had a ftult
That would not well stand with a lauraat:
Bis muse wu blde-bonnd, and the hsue of 's btaln
Was Beldam brooght fcrth but with trouble and pain."
Auiow o/IttU, in Pragmmla mtna,ar fcemt, Lon- U4S, «va
" But this Is not to be taken for the real Judgment of that Bx-
eellent Poet : and he was too good a Judge ofwit to he ignorant
of Mr. Carew's Worth, and his Talent in Poetry, and had he
pleaaed, he could have said as much In his commendation as Sir
WilUam aArxnaiU In those Btuisas writ to him."— Xmuioai^s
Dramatidc Ihetrn. '

"Thomsa Carew, one of the fiivonred posts of his tfane fcr the
charming sweetness of his lyric odes and amorous sonnets. . . .
was untimely snatched away by death. In the prime of his yean,
to the great ralnctaney of many of his poeUaalacqualntanoea.".—
AUien. Oxon,

" He was reckoned smong the ehlefest of bis time Ibr delicacy
of wit and poetic lancy; by the strength of which his extant poems

stDl audnlain thefar time amidst the curious of the preeantsgs."

Pmuipa,

"He was a person of a pleasant and Aoetlona wit, and made
many poems, (especially In the amorous way,} which Ibr the sharp-
ness of the &ncy, and the elegance of the Ungoage In which that
Ikney was spread, were at least equal. If not supertor, to any of
that time. But his gkiiy was, that alter fifty years of hia lUaapent
with leaa aevarlty or exaetneaa than it ought to have been, he died
with great reau»rae tor that lioenae, and with the greateat manl.
festatlon of Christianity that his best friends could desire.''— liitt

"Carew has the ease without the fedantrr of Waller, and per^
baps less conceit He reminds us of the heat manner of Lord
Lyttelton. Waller Is too exclusively considered ss the first man
who brought verslfleation to any thing like Its present standard.
Carew's pretensk>ns to the same merit are seldom sufildently
either considered or allowed." — JKodfey't &lae( BeanHaii^JiteiaU
ibipiuA Ae<rv, Zoa., 1787, 2 vola Svo.

" His lines are often very harmonloui^ but not ao artftiUy oon-
itmcted or ao uniformly pleasing as those of Waller. He Is r*.
markably unequal ; the best of his little poems (none of more than
thirty llnea are good) excel all of his time; but after a finr lines
of great beauty, we often come to eome Ui-exnresaed, or obscure,
or weak, or inharmonious passsge. Pew will hesitate to ackuow-
ledge that he has more fcney and more tenderness than Waller,
but leas eholee, leas Judgment and knowledge where to stop, leas
of tlie equality which never oflbnds, leas attention to the unity
and thread of Us little plecea."— Hauam: JtUndmc lo LU. HitL

"The want of boldneas and expension In Carew's thoughts and
subjects exclttdoe hira from rlrauhlp with great poetical names;
nor is it diflleult, even within the narrow pale of his works, to dia
cover some fiinlts of afbctatlon, and of still more objectlonabie In.
delloaey. But among the poets who have walked In the sama
limited path, he Is pre eminently beautifOl, and deservedly mnks
among the earlleat of those who gave a cultivated gnoe to our

was made a Knight of the Bath in 1616. In 162& he was
known by tlie name of Lord Lepington, his father's title
before he was created Earl of Honmonth. In 1639 he ba-
oame Eati of Honmonth.

2 vols, fol., was pub. in 1710. As we are fond of litemry
coincidences, we shall record one which we discover in
reading the preface to "The Mnaical Century." It ao
happened that our learned friend, the distinguished parent
of the new school of Political Economy — Henry C. Ca-
Bxr, (we wish tiiat that C. could be expunged to render
the coincidence more perfect!) published in 1S&3 a series
of Letters on International Copyright, in which the aub-
Jeet of Copyright in its general aspects is treated with
much vigour and ability. As regards the soundness of
Mr. Carey's doctrines, we are of course too wise to give
an opinion, surrounded as we are in this volume with such
a host of authors of opposing sentiments. Now it so
happens that Hehrt Carxt, of musical memory, favoon
as with some lines upon this subject in the Preface to his
Uusical Centnry :

*' What retarded the publication thus long, was the ptoapeet 1

This coincidence is worth noticing, certainly.

Sir John Hawkins thus sums up the cbaracteriatiea of
Carey aa a musician and an author;

" As a musldau Garev seemstohavebeenof theflrvtof tbeloweat
rank ; and as a poet, the last of that class of which Dnrisy was the
first; with this difference, that In all the songs sod poems written
by him on wine, love, and such kinds of sul^octs, be seems to have
manlfeated an Inviolable regard for decency and good manners."

The laat line is well enough, and could Carey have read
Sir John's estimate, we may imagine him exclaiming with
the vanquished monarch, " All is lost, save honour !"

Oodwln'B Political Justice was. In oonserraUTe England, among

ty, and force of ressoning, that were not to be met by denouncing
It OS Democratic and KerolutioaaiT, which sufficed for a reply to
more intemperate writera. Mr. Malthna, a clergyman of the Bat»
bUahed Church, while atudylng to reftate It, waa hn preaaed with the
anbatantial Justice of the plea for reform, upon the received data
for argument, and became satisfied that the evils of which the »■
publicans complained admitted of no defence which should come
short of demonstrating the naoeasiCy of their existenco, or throw
the responsibility for It upon the sulTeren.

" It was aa an answer to Uodwln's book that Malthas composed
bis celebrated Essay on Popubitlon, the theory of which waa at once
accepted and remalna to this day aa the atrongest apology of whkfa
despotism Is capable. The rnling claaaes were not only exculpated,
but they were taught to ' harden their hearts egslnst the peoid?
by a theoiy which ascribed the mleeriss of the governed to the
regular operation of a fixed b>w of human and phyalcal natural
which even that charity which endeavoured to alleviate Indlvidu^
anSering, could only aggravate. Malthna aaalgned, aa the elbetlva
canae of poverty and wretehedneas in the mosses, a supposed law
of population, according to which it has a conatant tendency in
outrun the growth of capital — the number of montha to be fed to
exceed the food that should fill them. The human race, ocoortllnc
to this theory, has Implanted In It such Instincts and powen thai
under their ftee action It would Incrsaae In geometrical ratio, doi^
bllng every twenty-five yeara The means of subsistence, on tha
other hand, ore, oa he believed, limited to an Ineraase In arlthmett-
eol ratio. Thera must consequently, In the natural order of prov^
dance, be a eooatantly Increwdng disparity between the amount of
prtnerty In a community— espeeklly that of the first necessity ilk*
food— and the number of persons to divide, with a steady and eeas»
lees approximation towards tunina I f, in point of fitct, the prasfr
ura of population upon subsistence bed been seen not to grow at
the terrific rate which the law would demand, it waa due to almost
perpetual wan waged at the instigation of kings and noblea— to fr»
qnent fismines, reaul ting often fVom the devaautlons of war— to pe»
tllenoe, brooding In the foul eablna of the poor, and fiwtenlng upon
them teeoaje they were poor, Ul-fed. Ul-dothed. and lll-sbeltered.
Some little — if the poor hjMl only been wiaer, and piously submit-
sive to the decrees of Heaven — ahonld have been owing to that
'moral raatrainV which It waa the olject of Mr Malthna to incut.
eate— to abstinence ftom matrimony, or. If the Imprudence of matri-
mony wen committed, to defeating Its purpose— the propagation at
oflhpring. AloSihowllttlecrMllteonldthepoorelalmantblssconl
Bcandalonsly pnllfic had they been ever and everywhaie, and the
weak charity of their bettera had, by admtnlatering relief to the
destitute, and thua Interposing between their folly In begetting
ehlldran, and Ita beavan-ordalned penalty, diverted their attenthm
ftom what Mr. Mill tells ns Is ths only remedy, ■ the grand piactt-
sal problem — to find the means of limiting the numbw of Urths.'

*< As man Is a producer of food, aa well as a consnmsr, the orgnnle
law of Haltbnalanism required acme supplementary dogma which
should explain why It Is that the race cannot make lit Ubour pro-
duetive In the ratio of Its numbers. This was soon supplied In
the theory of Rent, which goes by the name of Kleanlo, and It
baaed upon the allegation that aettlement and culture alwaya be-
gin upon the moet fertile and best-situated lands, and aa they
are occupied by the growth of population, men neceaaarfly recede
to soils of progreeslTely detertoratlof; quality, and poseeesing less
advantogea of sltuatkin. Kach generation of cultlvatora expend-
ing their energies upon aollB yielding returns Inferior In propor-
tion to their numbers to those tilled by their predecessors, each
Increment to the population would barveat a less and less Incre-
ment of food, and with every year a larger proportion of the entire
avallable labour of the rommunlty would be required for supply-
ing Ita primary neoeastty. This, If true— and It passed without
queetlon until refuted ^ Mr. Oarey— wss a mtiafectory and cor-
roborative explanation of the laws of population. It proved that
a steady declension towards misery and starvation would be the
Inevitable lot of the msnnnn even upon the supposition that sH
the means of subsistence were Iklrly and equally partitioned. Bnt
the theory did more. It taught that aa aoon aa the neceesltles of
sodety drove men to the enl^vatlon of land of the second quality,
the ownen of that of the first grade acquired the power to charge
Ibr Its use a rent equivalent to the dllmrence In the crops of the
two. When land of the third quality became neceasary to supply
the Inereaslng months, the second ymded a rent, and the rent of
the first was also advanced by an amount eqnal to the dUforenoe
between the aeoond and third. Consequently the smaller Qm sup.

Ely of food became, the larger the proportion of It absorbed by the
mdlords, and the less that of the labourers. This established
the necessary growth of a landed aristocracy, whooe wealth and
power wax, at thoat of the people wane. Nor wai this ilL It

** Bueb was the revesting aspect of Political Keonomy, when, In
18S&, Mr. Car«y published hla Bssay on the Rate of Wagea. The
main step out of the gloom ot the Ricardian system gained by
this first eaaay waa its proof that profits and wagea do not vary
biversely, but that high wagea are an InJUUble evldenee of pros-
perity, and of the rapid Incraaaa of capital: tbuBestabliahlnghar>
mony, Instead tsi antagonism, between the Intereata of laboureTS
and of flapitalista. We do not dwell on the importanee of thta
position, because Mr. Garey In his progress soon brought the par>
noular truth under a more general law, as is ordinarily the case
when an empirical system begins to grow into science. In 1887
ha published the first Part ct his Principles of Political Economy,
idlowed between that period and 1840 by the three remaining
Parts. A new and very simple, but, as an Italian Economist has
Justly styled it, a Terr ngaclous, expreesjon of tha measure or
limit of Value, as eondsUng not In the labour expended in the pro>
Auction of any thing, but in the labour required to reprodun It,
$t the time of estimation, marfca the opentaig of this work. It
proceeds to establlah theae neceaaarY consequences : — That the Talus
0t existing capital Is constantly fluling with the advantages of aa-
aoeiatlon, and the aoqulritlon of Improved machinery which attend
the growth of populattui; iff these reduce the labour of repro>
duclng the varvms commodities of which capital is made up, and
fteilitate the construction Ot new machinery, fay which still ftirthar
economy may be effected. That labour is therdbre steadily grow-
tng in its power to command capital, and, • eomwrso, the power of
capital over labour as steadily dlmlnli^ng. That labour and trnjA-
tal in their combined action are continually producing a larger re-
turn for the same outlay, of which larger return an inenating pro-
fwrfion, and tjf course an Increaaed almdute quantity, goes to the
labourer, while the share of the c^tallst wmlnlsbes In Its pro-
fmaon, but Is taksn fttxna return ao large as to yield him for that
smaller ynpyoitoit, a quantity Increaaed In Its abafdute amount
No truth no luminous as that contained In this grand law of IHa>
tiibntlon had eTer before lighted no thepath of Inquiry Into Social
8elsno& It gave the dew by which History Is made Intelligible
and consistent, for It alone exirfalns the possibility of that physi-
cal, social, and political progreas through which all cUbbbs advance
in their dominion over the powers and the itorea of nature, with
a constant approximation towards equality In their rdatlons to
■aeh other. In other words towards Democracy.

** The doctrines of Rlcardo were not merelv negatived, but re-
Tetsed. Yhen In the aune work It wasabown that land owes all Ha
Taloe to labour, and so flu- tnm exchanging for an amount of Ub-
hour equal to that expended In bringing It to Its existing condi-
tion, never ooounands more than the quantity requisite to bring
new land to an equally productive condition; — a quantity much
Inferior, because every unprovement enables men to expend their
labour more advantageously than their predeceascva, and thus to
figmfduce land, that Is to say, all those ameliorations and advan-
tages of market which give value to Und^t a cheaper rate. That
fMit only represents the interest on the cost of reproduction, and
ttwreftve the nroflts of binded Investment obev the same laws which
afilUI In other forms; the landlord obtaining a decreasing

wa, and other eoctly ameUoratSon. Br gMgmphloal eonparimi
of oontempormneons cunmnnltiea, he shows that the lowest In ih9
scale of population and wealth are those In which the Inferior soils
are alone cultivated, and the better lie waste ; and that the degre*
to which they have subdued the better lands aecuratoly marks
their progress. In a Molonged dlscusston In which Koonomlsts of
all parts of Kurope nave taken part, he haa repeatedly— «nd ia
vain — challenged the maintalners ot the Ricardian hypothesis to
name a single spot where men have not cosnmenced on the poor
soils, and proceeded to the better, with Inereaalng numbers and
wealth; or where thqr have not reoeded to the poorer wHh the In-
roads of poverty and depopulation. The acqukntlon of this truth
gave harmony and completeneas to the system. It aoeonntad for
an aooeleratad rate In theaoeumnlatSon of capital, by showing how
a deereaaing proportion of a growing community Is able to supply
the whole with s>od and material, and an inonaslng proportion u
laft free to devote Its labour to the convetsSon of that material:
while it taught the phlloaoidiy of concentration as the naans of
foellitatlng exdtange, and the dlteaalfication of indnatiy. It ex-
plained the prevalence of war, and of military Institutions In the
earlier ages of society, by showing how and why It Is that maraa

heUeved with Rlcardo In the ' decreasing fertility of the soli,* l^
finding a sufficient compensation In theenlMneed power of labour
through the aid of capital (other than raw produra) growing at a
imte sufficiently more impid than that of population to countervail
the disadvantages of Its being forced to the culUvatkm of the In-
llrtor lands. He has brought a large portion of the Enropwn

C— ■ point where they must renounce Malthnslanlsu entirely,

mains that * the deereadng fertility of the soU* Is an ever^rowlnx

Carey, Mathew, 1760-1839, an eminent philan-
thropist, was a nstive of Dublin. His father, a man of
great intelligence, bestowed upon him and his five brothetfi
a liberal education, and they all subsequently became dis-
tinguished for their learning or literary tasta. At tha
early age of 17, Hathew pub. an Essay on Duelling, which

tonponry exile to France, where he made the acquaintance
of Dr. Franklin, with whom, and with the Harquii de
liafayette, Mr. Carejr waa on terma of fnendship. Retnm-
ing to Irvland, he eetablighed the Tolunteei't Jonmal,
which (pee^y took ite place aa the leading opposition
paper of the day, bat peraecntion firom the goTemmeat
led to his arrest and imprisonment, and Unallr forced him
In 1783 to qnit his country. Arrived in Philadelphia,
where he continued to reside nntil his death in 18S9, he
commenced his career in 1786 as editor and proprietor of
the Pennsylvania Herald, and this was followed by the
American Huseom, a monthly jonmal of which he was
also editor. This periodical extended to 13 volumes,
1787-92, and forms a valuable record of the fkets of Xhat
period. Mr. Cany was anthor of nnmerone pamphlets on
various subjects of public interest, and of several books
which had much snooess. Of then the earliest published
in America was a History of the Tellow Fever of 1793, of
which four editions were published. In 1810, '11, he pub.
Letters and Reflections upon the United States Bank. In
1814 appeared The Olive Branch, or Faults on both Sides,
Fedend and Democratic, an appeal to the good sense of
the political parties of the day to lay aside their differences
during the pendency of the Uien existing war with Qreat
Britain : this paper speedily passed through tan editions,
eompriaing 10,000 copies.

In 1818 appeared his Vindidet Biherniea .• an examina-
tion and refutation of the charges against his countrymen,
in relation to the alleged butcheries of Protestants in the
inmneetion of 1610: this work passed through several
editions. In 1820 he gave to the world The New Olive
Branch, and in 1823 Essays on Political Economy, both
advocating the policy of protection to domestic mannfao-
turea. It is worthy of remark that it is in this particular
department — the science of Political Economy — that one
of Mr. Carey's sons (see article Hbxrt C. Caret) has be-
come so conspicuous a labourer. Hathew Carey also pub.
a volume of Miscellaneous Essays. As the most eminent
publisher in the United States, he contributed largely to
the dissemination of sound intelligence amidst a popula-
tion too much occupied with l^e material cares of life to
be properly attentive to intellectual cnltnre. Our limited
space prevents mote than a passing noUce of Mr. Carey's
tealoot elTorti on behalf of the helpless and afflicted — of
his persevering labonrs in the promotion of public improve-
ments and private happiness. We could say nothing so
mneh to the purpose as is contained in the following ex-
Iraet fVom a letter to the late Joseph Reed, Esq., of Phi-
ladelphia, (son of President Reed,) from the late John
Sergeant, Esq., long one of the most emineot statesmen of
the United States :

"Mr. Osie/ a man to whom we are aU a cnat deal mors hi-

Mesixt, Apra 19, 1827.

The citiiens of the United States will ever owe to Mr.
Carey's memory a debt of gratitnde for his invaluable
labours as s citizen, a politician, and a philanthropist.

About 1828 Mr. Carljle meiried, and resided alternately
at Comely Bank and Craigenpattooh, in an estate in Dam-
frieashire. The reader will find an interesting aocount of
his manner of life in the letters to (jh}ethe, in the corre-
ipondenoe of the great German bard.

** Two ponlea which cany na erefywhera, and the mountain air,

mored from ererj one who In any caae might Ttsit me. Here
Rousseau would Iuts been as ba|ipy ss on his island of St. Plurre.**

In his rural quietude Mr. Carlyle was a oontributor to
the Foreign Review and other periodicals, and composed
his Sartor Resartus, which was pub. in Frasor's Magazine
on Mr. Carlyle's return to London, which occurred in 1830.
It appeared in book form in 1834, "reprinted for friends,"
and in 1836; again in 1841.

** Tlw work is a sort of phflosopbleel romance. In wblcb the author
undertakes to ^tb. In the form of a review of a German treatise
on dreaa, and a notice of the life of the writer, his own opinions
upon Matters and ThinxslnOenermL The hero, Professor Teufela-
droeckb, seems to be intended for a portrait of human nature as
affrrlf^ by the nK)nl Influence to which, in the present state of

■oda^, a cultivated mind Is naturally expoaed The volume

eontalna, under a quaint and singular form, a great deal of deep
thought, sound prindple, and fine writing. . . . The only thing
. aboutthe work, tending to prove that it is what it purports to be,
a oommentary on a real German treatise. Is the style, which Is a
■ort of EabjJonlsb dialect, not destitute, it is true, of richness,
Tigtmr, and at tlmea a sort of felicity ofezpresslon, but very strongly
UQKed throngbont with the peculiar Idiom vX the German language.
n£ qmdity In the style, however, may be a mere result of a grmt
fcznUiarity with German Utenture, and we cannot, therefore* look
upon It as In Itself decisive, stni less aa outweighing so much evl-
denee of an opposite character. ... It Is, we twlleve, no secret In
lagland or hen, that It is the work of a person to whom the public
Is Indebted for a number of articles In the l^te British Keviewa,
which have attracted great attention by the singularity of their
style, and the rlcfaneas and depth of their matter. Among those
may be mentioned partkularly those on CAarocffruA'ct and the
hm ^ Bum* In ttie Edlnbuigh Review, and on Qoiihit in the Fo-
rjgn Qnartariy. . . . Wo take pleasure In Introducing to the Ame-
ikan pnbUe a writer, whose name Is yet In a great measure un-
known among us, but who Is destined, we think, to occupy a large
naoe in the literary world. We have beard It Inslnnated that Sir.

work is thoroughly Carlylish, and worthy of the author.
It has long been announced that it was to be the work of
his life."

" Few writers of the present time have risen more rankUy Into
popularity than Mr. Carlyle, after labouring through so long a pe>
riod of eomparatlre neglect Whatever Judgment critics may do
pleased to pass on him, It Is oertain that his works have attracted
of late no oommon share of attention.'* — XcUnburffh Raniew.

We have qnoted some highly commendatory notices of
Mr. Carlyle as an author ; but by many critics the pecu-
liarities of his style have been severely censured, and the
value of his speculations greatly doubted.

" Mr. Cariyle has disdained the easy-beaten track, and stmdt
out a new taste In writing, eomUning, we had almost mid, all pos*
sible foults. and yet not unlikely to oeeome nebular. . .. It is la-
mentable to see tliat Mr. Carlyle's early writings. In which there
Is for the most troth and genuine good sense, are the most free
from his foults. They appear to have gathered on htm as he ad-
'vanoes. Is It that be Is permitting himself to dress on his sfyl*
like a mountebank to attract popular wonderment which we have

speculations Into which be Is Ailing, and In which he evidently
Is struRgllttg about like a man sinking In the water, and Just be*

writings are very pleaslngin their language, as In their eenttments.

and Chartism, he runs wild in dlstwtlons and extravagancies."—
Lon. QuarteriM RetHew^ IzvL 1840.

" Mr. Cariyle— an astute and trenebaat eritte might, with diow
of Justice, remark — assumes to be the relbrmer and eastlgator of
his age— a reformer In philosophy, in politics, and religion— de-
nouncing its aiecAanJcar method of thinking, deploring Its utter
want of faith, and threatening political socwty, obstinately deaf
to the voice of wisdom, with the retributive horrors of repeated
revolutions; and yet neither In phlloeopby, In religion, nor In
politics, has Mr. Carlyle any distinct dogma, creed, or constltutlott
to promulfrate. ... He is any thing but a man of practical ability.
Betting aside his style for the preeent let us see whether he has
ever. In the course of his llfc, thrown out a single hint whieh
oould be oseAil to his own generation, or profitable to those who
may come after. If he could originate any such bint, be does not
poBfsesB the power of embodying it in distinct langusKe. He has
written a Hlstmy of the French Rev<dutlon, a parnphlet on Chart-
ism, a work on Heroes and Her<^worstalp, and a SMt of poilttcal
treatise entitled I^xH and Prtmnt Can any living man point to a
single practical passage in any of these volumes! If not, what la
the real value of Mr. Carlyle*! writings? THiat Is Mr. Carlyle
himself but a Phantasm of the species he is ideased to denounce.**

was appointed reader of the Abbey Church at Bath, where
he preached a discourse, January 30, 1714, in which he
Tindicatsd the character of Charles I. with referenoe to

unwilling to take the oaths to the new goremment, and
therefor* assumed a lay habit. For a time b* asristed

He escaped, and became secretary to Biahop Attorbnry,
which increased the suspicions against him, aad a reward
of £1000 was oBSared for his person. Carte now fled to
France, where he resided for some years under the name
of Phipps. He mingled with men of learning, and <Ve-
quented the beat libraries, which enabled him to collect
materials for illustrating an English edition of Thuanus.
In 1724 he consulted Dr. Mead as to the best mode of pub-
lication. The doctor perceived the value of the collec-
tion, and determined to publish the whole. He purchased
tham from Carte, and confided tbem to the oare of Mr.
BaeUay, who ^re than to the world in 1733, 1 vols. foL
By the interoeaaion of Quean Carolina, Carta wai permitted
to ratnm to bii native country. He arrived in England
between 1728 and 1730. In 1736 appeared the 3d and in
1736 the 1st and 2d vols. rfoL) of his History of the Life
of James, Duke of Ormonde, from bis birth in 1610 to his

We are glad that the doctor's expunging views wai« not
adopted by tha editor of the beantifnl edition pnb. io 1851,
Oxford, 6 vols. 8vo. Let the historical reader procure this
edition forthwith.

The author had long projected a history of England —
Hading mneh fault with Bapin and with Bymer** Fcedara^
and in April, 1738, he pub. " A general aooonnt of the ne-
cessary materials for a history of England, of the society
and subscriptions proposed for deiVaying the expenses of
it, and tha method in which he intended to proceed in
carrying on the worlc" In October £600 per annum
were subsaribed, and the historian sat to work with a glad
heart We have not space in which to enumerate tha
learned and corporate bodies who favoured this great un-
dertaking : auffioe it to say that seldom lias an author baaa
so encouraged :

*^ Never was a history more anxiously expected, and mors aeal-
ously supported. The Cltj of London and the Cniverslty of Ox-
t>rd seemed to vis with each other In thdr acts of generosity."—
DibdMt lAbrarji Qrmptmiim,

In 1744 he was arrested by the goremment for suppoaed
designs fkvourable to the Pretender, but nothing was fonad
to justify bis detention. In Angnst, 1744, was printed in
ao 8vo pamphlet, " A collection of the several papers that
had been published by him relative to his great work."
Proposals for printing were circulated in 1746, and in D»-
cemlwr, 1747, the first volume was given to the world.

"Of the tint volume of this Hlatoiy, 150 ooples were printed on
royal iiaper, 850 on a second slae, and 3000 on small paper. Ofthe
suoceedlng volumes, 100 only were printed on royal paper, and 060
on smaU paper."— ^tckoli'i LUtrary jtntctUm, i. p. Ul.

Bnt a few lines in this noble book were permitted to
bring the whole into undeserved odium. Carta in on* of
his notes, not originally intended for pnblieation, refers
to the " sanative virtae of touching for the king's aril,"
and adduces the case of a Christopher Lovel who waa
touched by the Pretender, and cured. We make a short
extract, as this is a curious literary anecdote :

"From tlienos Christopher made hk way ftnt to Paris, and
tbenoe to tbo place where be was touched, in the beginnlDK ot
November fcllowlng, by the eldest lineal descendant of a raoe of
klni^ who had Indeed tor a, long snecesslon of ages cured that
distemper by the royal toue/i. But this deaeendaat and next brfr
of their blood bad not, at least at that time, been crowned or
onotn/ed."

Now there was no treason in this. His avowed objeet
waa to prove that it waa an error to suppose that the "sa-
native virtne" resided only in the eldest descendant of tha
royal line, or in the wearer of the crown. That the Pre-
tender lud the blood-royal in his veins, no one could deny.
But the corporation of London, perhaps not unwilling to
recommend themselves to the reigning monareh by their
rather ostentations loyalty, withabew their snbseriptiona,
and the history waa neglected by the Beeotiana of that
generation. In 1749 it was retailed at a shilling a nnm-
ber (36 nos., <. e. vol. 1, all yet pub.) to those who had the
sense to profit by the stolidity of their neighimnrs. Bat
Carte struggled manfully on. The 2d vol. — 1216-1500—
appeared in 1750 ; and the 3d— 1509-1613— in 1752. VoL
4th, 1613-54, was pnb. in 1755, about a year after the au-
thor's decease. He intended to hare brought it down to
the Restoration. His valuable materials were left by Mrs.
Carte, for his lifetime, to her second husband, Mr. Jema-
gan, then to be deposited in the University of Oxford.
Mr. Jemegan delivered them to the University in 1778,
for a valuable consideration. Whilst they were in his
possession, he charged the Earl of Hardwicke £200 for the
pemsal of them, and Mr. Macpfaerson paid £300 for the
same privilege. His History of Great Britain, Lon., 1775,
2 vols. 4to, and Origins! Papers, 1775, 2 vols. 4ta, with
Extracts fh>m the Life of James IL, as written by himself,
show that he was disposed to lose nothing by the invest-
ment

For the ten 4to vols, of the Brunswick Papers, Maophar-

Mr. Jemegan was pleased with such a profitable mode
of assisting literary antiquaries, and as Ute as 1776 h*
advertised that he was still willing to loan them for • aon-
sideration. But there were no more Earl Hardwiokaa aad
Maepbersons to Iw found, and, as we have stated, he re-
ceived a handsome sum in 1778 to place them in their
intended repoaitory. We need not wonder that few were

yonng, she diiplayad a great desire for knowledge, to whioh
was added unwearied diligence in its acquisition, which is
the mora oreditable from the diffionlty she experienced in
learning.

She first made her appearance as an author in 1738,
when she published a volume of Poems, (in 4to,) composed
befora she was twenty years of age. These were first pub.
anonymously, and wera not subsequently mnch admired
by the fair author, for in another colleotion, pnb. in 1782,
Sro, she only admitted two pieces from the former Tolame;
I. e. Lines on her Birth-Day, and an Ode of Anacreon,
which she had trans, befon her 17th year. In 1739 she
pnb. a trans, fhim the Franeh — the Examen of Crousas on
Pope's Essay on Man. In the same year she gare to tbe
world a trans, from the Italian of Algorotti's Newtonionis-
mo par le Dame; Algorotti's Explanation of Newton's
Philosophy for the Use of the Ladies, 2 vols. 12mo. These
eridenoes of ability gave the authoress considerable repu-
tation in the literary world at home and abroad. Her
Ode to Wisdom, one of her best poetical pieces, was com-
posed in 1748. In 1749, at the solicitation of her friend
Miss Talbot, and Dr. Seeker, then Bishop of Oxford, after-
wards Archbishop of Canterbury, she commenced a trans-
lation of the writings of Epietetns. The choice was a good
one. Heraby all wera admitted to enter

" That noble school of Phlloeophy, whloh preserred grsst soola
untainted at the oourt of dlaaoluto aad foraelous tyrants, which
exalted the alare [Epletotus] of one of Nero's courtiers to be a
moral teacher of after timea." — Snt jAais Macuxtosb.

This axeellent work, not originally intended for the
press, was pub. in 17&8, 4to ; pp. 34 and iOi. 1018 oopiea
wen struck off at once, and 2i0 mora within three month*
afterwards. The price was one guinea.

*■ It sold BO well, and the price kept up so remaikably, that soane
years after Dr. Becker, then Archbishop of Oanterbory, t>rought a
books^Asr's eatalogns to her, saying, Here, Madam Carter, see
how 111 I am naed by the world ; here are my aermoni ealllDg at
half price, while your Eplctetus truly la not to be had under 18
shillings ; only three ahilUngs leas than the original sutncriptlon."

By this publication Mrs. C. was a gainer by abont
dClOOO. As regards the merits of this translation, it is
sufficient to qnoto Dr. Warton's opinion that it " excels
the originaL" Her repntetion as a profound and elegant
classical scholar Iras now established upon a firm basis.
Dr. Johnson had always been a warm admirer of her
talents, and as early as April, 1738, wroto to Cave:

**X hare composed a Greek epigram to SUaa, and think she
ought to be celebrated in as uuny different languages aa Lewla le
Srand." 8ea Oeut Mag., April, i;88, for thla Kplgram to £Usa.

Care thought that they should be bettor known to each
other, and introdnoed them. Johnson was then 29, and
"Elisa" 21. She mentioned th* name of her new ae-
qnaintance to her Ihther, in a lettar to the worthy olergy-
man. His answer is amusing to the present generation :

"Ton mention Johnson; but that Is a name with which lam
atteriy nuaoqualnted. Neither his scholastic, critical, nor poetl.
cal character erer reached my ears. Ia little suapect hie Judgment

Onttr.

Son, when a yonng lady dwells in her letters upon tha
name of a new male acquaintance, especially if she be of
a literary turn, and adduce bis lUeraiy tastes, be assured
that her heart is no Oibraltar. Even Johnson's physical
ngliness eonld be forgotten in the classic charm of his
eommento upon Martial, and other worthies of tbe "elder
time." But, alas for his corpulent, elderly wife, alas for
Mrs. Johnson I she was too substantial to bis dissipated by
the incantotions of Anacreon or the nreries of Plato !
Perhaps this is all Imagination on our part Perhaps
tfaera was nothing mora like lore for Johnson than she
would hare felt for the animated bust of Epictotas had it
suddenly assumed lift and eorreeted the translator's rer-
rion. However, they lived in friendship for nearly half a
eentary, that is, until Johnson's death in 1784. Some of
our readers of the gentler sex will toll us that the airy

MnuiMieM, there wu anfflcient congeniality of taste to
have led to more tender sentiineuta, no one can question.
That Mrs. Carter would liave made a good wife, we bare
Jobnion's own authority :

" Upon bearing a UdJ oommended for ber kamlngi Dr. Jobnaon
laid, * A man la to genenl better pleaied when he baa a good
dinner upon hia tab^, than when bis wife talks Oreek. My old
friend Mra. Cartflr,' he added, ' oould make a pudding aa well aa
tianalate Epictetoa from the Qreek ; and work a handkerchief aa
well aa eompoae a poem.* "

Johnson as early as 1738 had been aaxiont (hat she
should turn her learning to aooonnt, for Care writM to
Birch in that year :

" Mr. Jobnaon adrlaes Miss C to undertake a translation of Boe-
tblufl de Cons, because there is prose and Tene, and to put ber
name to It when published."

When a celebrated Greek scholar waa spoken of, the
doetor remarked, " Sir, be is the best Greek scholar in
England, except Elmabbtb Carter." It is not a little
eoriooii Uiat the lady's tranalaUon of Cronaaz's Examen
of Pope's Essay on Han was ascribed to Johnson. Bos-
well quotes an article from Or. Birch's HSS. in the British
Hnaeam, which confirmed his opinion that hii "guide,
philosopher, and friend" was not the translator :

" Elian Oartene S. P. D. Thomas Blrcb Varak>uem tuum Exa-
minis CrouaaslanI jam perlegl. . . . Snmmam ityll et elegantlam,
et In re difflcilllma proprletatem, admlratus. Dabam Novemb. 27,
1738." See Birch MSS., Brit. Hua., 1323.

As a linguist, Mrs. Carter waa flimiliar to a greater or
less degree with Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish,
French, and German.

Of the few numbers contributed to the Rambler, Nos.
44 and 100 are by Hra. C. Eighteen years after their
Irat introduction, Johnson writes with much gallantry to
the lady:

'*The name of Miss Carter Introdneea the memarr of Gave.
Poor dear Carel I owed bim much; ibr to blm I owe uat I baTe
known yon."— /oft. 14, 1760.

Twenty-eight years later Johnson remarked at the Essex
Club:

" I dined yesterday at Mrs. Oarrlck'a with Mrs. Carter, Miss
Hannah More, and Fanny Barney. Three such women an not to
be found."

Thus comely and pleasant waa that friendship which for
nearly half a century nothing had broken ; but Death ac-
complished what naught else oould, and in a few montiis
after the abore waa spoken, the " mooniera went about the
streets" for one of the greatest of philosophers and beat of
men. Mrs. Carter's testimony to hia worth should have
great weight with thoae petty carillera who would question
the exoellence of an apostle, if he should happen to prore
that he waa not qnite an angel also !

" I an by the papers tbat Dr. Johnson Is dead. In extent of
learning, and exquisite purity of moral writing, be baa left no su-
perior, and I fear rery l^w eqnida. His Tirtuesand bis piety were
nmnded on tbe steadiest of Christian principles and blth. His
fiiulta, I firmly bellere, arose ftom tbe Irritations of a most snlTei^
Ing state of uerrous constitution, which scarcely ever allowed blm
a moment'a ease."— ^dbr la Mn. Monlaffu.

Be it remembered that this is the testimony of one of i
the wisest of women and most devout of Christians. Let ]
those Who would he convinced of this — especially let all
of that sex upon which she has conferred such undying
hoBonr — ^penue the Memoirs of her Life by Mr. Penning-
ton, (1807, 4to; 1808, 3 vols. 8vo,) and ber Lettera to Miaa
Talbot and Mrs. Vesey (1808, 2vola. 4to; 1809, 4 vols.
8vo;) and to Mrs. Montagu, (1817, 3 vols. 8ro.) The fol-
lowing oommendatlon from one of the most polished gen-
tlemen of Europe will have &r more weight than any
thin< which we oan urge :

** Hra. Carter's Comspondenee pleases me very much ; the purity
and rsepeeUUUty of their IItcs, [Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Vesey,]
their uninterrupted friendship, tbs elegance of tbeir pufsult^^
Ibrm altogether an agreeable subject of eonTersatton."— 4im Jamu
Hicxurmai.

8o truly humble wai the unobtrusive female whom the
rank and ganins of tbe land delighted to honour, that {
when Mr. Pennington, her nephew, told her of his design
of writing some aocoont of her life if he should inrvive
bar, she replied — " What can be said of so obscure an in-
dividual as I am 7 and what do you think the world will
eare about me 1"

What a noble example does this exoellent woman pre-
nent for the emnlation of ber sex 1 We have occasionally
in the oourse of this volume felt it our duty to stimulate
the ambition of our female readers to the acquisition of
lomething better than mere fashionable elegance, and
nobler eonqneats than thoae afforded by the Opera or the
Ball-Toom. Tber amelioration of the heart, the cultivation
of the intellect, the visitation of the poor and wretched,
the Instruction of the ignorant, and the duties of devotion,
■urely have higher and holier daima upon immortal be-

I inga than the frivolities of fashion and the petty oompe.
' titiona of rivalry, where sucoeaa is without honour, and
I pre-eminence entitled only to contempt.

/ohnson ezeosed his Letter on the Battle of Dettingen
upon the plea of want of practice ; and his lordship him-
lelf did not consider it a classical piece of composition,
for he remarked, when he had finished it,

" Hera Is a letter expressed In tenns not good enough for a tal-
low<hand]er to have used."

His lordship, however, had learning, if he lacked style,
and tnmed it to profitable account in procuring MSS. for
Dr. Bentley's use when urging him to undertake a new
edition of Homer. In this connection, an anecdote ocours
to us, too good to be omitted :

The great Bentley, who was known to old Lady Gran-
T&le only as "the country elergyraan," when in town
would spend the evenings with Lonl Carterot in classical
eonvenations. On one occasion Lady Qranville rebuked
her son for having kept " the country clergyman" up the
night before till be became intoxicated. His lordship
draied (hat his Mend was in such an unclerical condition.
Lady Oranville replied that "the elergyman conid not
have song in so ridicnloos a manner, unless he had been
in liquor." " The truth was, that the singing thus mis-
taken by her ladyship, was Dr. Bentley's endeavour to in-
ftmet and entwtain his noble friend by reciting Terence
according to the true cantilena of the ancients !"

Amidst his lordship's struggles for place and power, he
had an affectation of saying — " I love my fireside." This

fkve rise to the amusing poetical satire by Hawkins
rowne, entitled. The Fire-side ; a Pastoral Soliloquy,
Be gave a copy of the Bible to a friend, who shortly after
dis|Mayed it to him in an elegant binding. "Yon have
dona with it," said his lordship, " as the king haa done
with m« : he made me fine, and ha laid me by."

■Lord OranTUle bad great parts, and a most uncommon sbat« of
learning for a man of quality. He was one of the beat spoaken in
tbs Bonao of Lords, UHh in the decloniatoiy and the ai^punentatire
way. . . . Uls character may be summed up in nice precision, quick
dsdalon, and unbridled preanm^Ion."— Loan CBismnan.

Caitwiight, Thomas, of Q. CoUsgs, Ox£ Senns.,

Cartwright, William, 1611-1643, anativa of North-
way, Gloncastershire, was educated at Westminster, and
Christ Church, Oxford. He took holy orders in 1688.

" He became the most fiorld and aeraphlcal preaebsr in the TTnt-
verslty. . . . His preaching was so giaceftll and profimnd withal,
that none of his time or age went Beyond him." — Mhtn. Owem,

But he seems to have been nnwUling to relinquish th«
society of the Hnses. He pnb. The Boyal Slave ; a Tragi-
comedy, Ozt, 1639, 4to; 1640, 4to. To the Earl of Pena.
broke and Montgomery, 1641, foL Comedies. Tragi-Come-
dies, with other Poems, 1641. Poamata Oneea et Latins,
and some other pieoee. In 1643 he waa chosen Junior
Proctor of the University of Oxford, and Reader in Meta-
physics, and died the same year of a malignant fever. As
edit of his Plays and Poems was pub. in 1651, 8vo, pr».
ceded by flfty eopiss of verses, highly eologistio, from the
chief literary characters of the day. Of this edit some
copies contain more matter than others. See Bliss's Wood's
Athen. Oxon. Perhaps there is no instance in the fcnnale
of English literature of an author more admired by his
contemporaries of distinction than Cartwright appears to
have been. Indeed, he is now better known by the praises
of others than by his own works. These, with tlie excep-
tion of his plays, whioh are now entirely neglected, consist
principally of political addresses to distinguished characters
of the day. We quote a few of the commendations whioh
were showered so proftisely upon Cartwright and his m»-
moiy:

" QatmrigU, lars Osrtwright to whom all mnst bow.
That was best preacher, and best poet too;
Whose learned fliney never was at rest,
But always labouring, yet labour'd lea^" — JOHK IiliaH.
** His style so pleases the Judldons Gown,
As that there's something too for Wits o' th' town ;
Bough-handed Critics do approve, and yet
TIs treasure for the ladles cabinet" — ^Raub BiTnoasT.
<* Cartwright Is the utmost man can coma to."— Da. KlU, £utap
4^ Oc/brd. See also Mayne^i and Siapylton's llnaa,
" My son Cartwright writes all like a man." — Bxrr, Jonsom.
"He was another Tnlly and TIrgll, as being most excellent Ibr
ontory and noetry, In which fhcolties, as alio in the Greek tongue,
he was so fhll and abodnta, that those who knew him beat knew
not In whkh be most exedled. — if the wits rend his poems, di-
vines his sermons, and philosophers his lecturee on Aristotle's
metaphysics, they would scarce believe that he died at a little above
thirty years of age." — Ahtboitt Wood.

" He was extremely remarkable both fbr his outward and Inwaxd
endowments, — bis body being ss handsome as his soul. . . . Hewss
an excellent orator, and yet an admirable poet, — a quality which
(3cero with all his pains could not attain to." — GsXAaD Lahobaixx.

be became Secretary of War, under General Jackson. In
1S3A he was appointed minister to Franoe,and discharged

Castell, Edmnnd, 1608-1885, a native of Hatlsy,
in Cambridgeshire, was entered of Emanuel OoHega^
Cambridge, 1621; be afterwards removed to St. John's
College for eonvenienee of access to the library, ta thf
preparation of his great work, the Lexicon Heptaglotton,
Hebraieum, Chaidaicum, Syriacum, Samaritanum, Ethio-
picnm, Arabioum, conjunctim ; et Persicum separatim, Ac,
Londini, 1668, 2 vols. foL Some copies are dated 1686.
This was intended as a companion to Bishop Walton's
Biblia Sacra Polyglotta, Londini, 1657, 6 vols. foL Castell
assisted upon this work, also, and laid out more than £1000
apoait. His own Lexicon occupied hija for eighteen yean^
and cost him more than £12,000, and when completed, it lay
upon his hands- as dead stock, with the excepUon of a f^w
copies sold. He reoeived some preferments, but nothing
to compensate him for his time and expense In 1666 ho
was made King's Ch^ilain, and Arabic Professor at Cam*
bridge; in 1688, Prebeadai7 of Caatsrbuiy. Thevicarags
of Hatfield, Bssex, and snbseqnantly the rectory of Wode-
ham Walter, were bestowed upon him. His last preferment
was the rectory of Higham Gobion, Bedfordshire. Bit
pul>. some learned pieces, 1660, '67, 4to. About 500 copies^
it i^ supposed, of his Lexicon were unsold at the time of
his death. A melancholy fate was theirs I Hear the sad
tale:

" These were placed by Mrs. Crisp, Dr. Oaatell's niece and ezecn*
trix, in a room of one of her tenant's honaea, at Bfartln. In Surrey,
where, for many yeara, they lay at the aurcy of the rata; who da*
stioyed them In such a manner, that, on the lady'a death, bar ex-
ecutora could scarcely form one complete copy out of them. Thy
whole load of learned rags sold for £7." — Biog, BriL

It was a happy thing that the good old man never saw
that sight t

To Dr. Lightfoof s assistaoee he was greatly indebted.
Whilst preparing this work, C^tell maintained in bis own
house and at his own expense seven Englishmen and seven
foreigners as writen ; all of whom died Iwfore the work
was completed. His reference to his desolate sitnation and
ill-requited labonrs at the end of the third page of the Pre-
face, is truly affecting:

" Bodes quldem habuThoe opere, aed perexlgno tempers mecnm
In lUo oommorantea, aeecio an dlcam. immeosltata laborla plana
axteritca. Per plenraa annoa. Jam aKate prorectua, et una cum

So indnsfrions an author was Castell, that he informs oa^

" I considered that day as idle and dIssaUsawtory In which I did
not ton sixteen or eighteen hours dtherat the Polygiotor Lexicon.*

Mr. Disraeli, referring to Castell's sad ezperionee, de-
olares that "all the publishers of Polyglots have beoa
ruined."

Cave, Edward, 1691-1754, the projector of The
Gentleman's Magaiine, and foster-father of many poor
•ntbora, can claim a plaoe amongst the class whom he so
nobly befriended. He wrote an Account of Criminals, and
was employed by the Company of Stationers to eoniect the
Oradna ad Pamaaanm. Aa the founder of tiiat invaluable
perlodioal — to which thia Tolnma is deeply indebted — ^The
Oentloman'a Magaiine — he is entitled to lasting honour.
The Srst number waa issued in January, 173], and Johnson,
writing in 1754, (aee hia Life of Care, in Oent Mag. for
February,) remarka,

** It baa now sul>slsted three and twenty years, and still oou-
thmss equally to enfoy the flivcmr of the world."

We, writiiig one hundred years later, (t. e. In 1854,) can
repeat the latter clause of the paragraph. The whole series
to the present time, about 220 volumes, (now at our side,)
ihonld be in the library of every student of English lite-
tatnra or political hiatoiy. We are glad to aee that the

hrmrjV It ia probably known to the reader, that in the
oommeneement of Dr. Johnson's literary career, he drew
hia chief means of support from his contribntiona to tho
Gentleman's Magaiine.

" The Qentlaman's Magaxine, begun and carried on 1>y Mr. Ed*
ward Cave, under the name of Sylvanus Urban, had attracted the
notice and esteem 0[ Johnson, In an eminent degree, Ijefon he
eeme to London as an adventurer in iitemtu*. He tctd sae that
when he Snt aaar 8t John's Gate, the »lace where that deservedly
popular misoellany was orlginallj printed, he ' beheld it with

Cave treated the needy young akthor with great Und-
neaa. He little thought that ue higheat honour whidi
would attaeh to hia name would be uie fbct of thia then
obscure contributor's becoming hia biographer. See John.
aon'a Life of Cave, and Boswell's Johnson.

The publiaher devoted himaelf to the prosperity of hif
magaiine with a leal seldom equalled :

" Oave never looked out of his window but with a view te the
Oentleman's HsgailnaL ... He used to sell ten Ihonsand ; yet
sneh was then his salnuto attention and anzisty that the sale
should not suffer the smallest deerease, that be would name a pa^
tieular person who he heard had talked of leaving oS the Haga-
eine, and would aay 'Let us have something good next month.' '
— Da. JomcsoM.

It ia intereattng in thia connexion to remark, that aftw
the death of Edward C<ve, in 1754, The Gentleman'a Ma-
gaiine waa continued by David Henry, Edward Cave'*
brotner-in-laW, and R. Cave. David Henry waa connected
with thia periodical until hia death, in 1 792, having " for
more than half a century taken an active part in th«
management of the QenUeman's Magaaine." In 1778
John Nlchola — a name which we never mention or writo
without emotiona of respect and affection^Kibtained •
ahare in the Magaiine, and rendered It more valuable tbaa
at any period of ita former history. Edmund Burke en-
titled it " one of the moat chaste and instructive miaeella>
niea of the age ;" — Dr. Warton wrote to Nichols — " under
your guidance it ia become one of the moat naeftal and en-
tertaining miacellaniea I know;" — and Edward Gibbon
urged him to make a aeleetion for future reference from
ite overflowing pagea. On the death of Mr. Nichola, in
1826, the magaiine descended to bis son — the anrviving
partner — and the last number, t. e. for October, 1854, bear*
the impriwuttur of John Bowyer Nichola and Bona — di-
rectly under the venerable Gate of St John's. It hat
been in one family about fooracore yeara; and may tha
Niobolsea " live a Uiousand years," aqd issue the Gentle-
man's Magaxine " punctually on Uie first of every month !"

Wo need not apologiie for this scrap of literary genea-
logy. They who are wise, and yet lack the Qentleman'a
Magaiine, will forthwith procure the whole series a5 tatise,
If they can — and if not, they will procure what they can
of the bock volumes, and commence their sabicriptions
with the next number. See Nichols, Johji.

a secluded life, engaged in his experiments, never married,
and left a million pounds sterling to his heirs. The results
at many of his experiments will be foand in the PbiL
Trana., 1766, '69, '71, '76, '88, '90, '92, '98, 1808. Caven-
dish ranks among the first of diemical philosophers. But
this i* a sobjeet upon which the learned may claim to
ipeak:

" Mr. Oavandlah waa a profound mathematician, elaetrlclan, and

have diaoovered hydrogen, (although it waa prepared by Mayow,
Boyle, and llalea, long anteriorly,) and placed the second stone on
the great superstrocture which was anerwarda to be raised by
Priestley and others. That common air oonslsted of oxygen and
nitrogen was known ; but Oavendbfa demonBtntcd (1783) that It
consisted of a volume of 30*838 oxygen, and 70*160 nitrogen — a
result whl^ has been thoroughly confirmed by anbaeqnent ex-
periments, lie likeeiae demonstrated the exact constitution at
water, although it la confidently affirmed that James Watt at the
same time knew Ita compoeition, and that hla views were known
to Oavendish. CaTendlsn likewise showed that nitric acid Is com-
posed of nitrogen and oxygen — Priestley having previously found
that electric aparks, when passed through air, turned litmns red,
OaveAdlsh added potash to tlie solution evaporated, and obtained
nitre. While there is scarrelT any doubt nat there has been a
tendency to overrate Cavendish at the expenae of others, be must
be always ranked ss one of the first of English Chemists, who lias^
by the accuracy of his experiments, saslsted In laying the sure

The following opinion of an eminent anthority «t>d an-
•xeeptionable judge in the premises mtut not be omitted:

" cavendish was possessed of a minute knowledge of moat of the
departmenta of Natnimi Philosophy ; be carried Into hlf '*''^ffiW
reaearcliea a delicacy and precision which have never been ex*
ceeded ; poaaeesing depth and extent of mathematical knowledge
ha reaaoned with the caution of a geometer upon the results ot
hla experiments; and it may be aatd of him, what perhapa can be
aearcely aald of any other peraon, that wlwtever he aooompllahed
was perfect at the moment of Ita production. His processes were
all of a flnlsbed nature; executed by the hand of a master, they
required no correction ; the accuracy and beauty of his earliest
labours have remained unimpaired smidst the'progress of dla*
oovery, and their merits liave lieen Illustrated by discussion, and
exalted by time." — Six Huuphkt Davt ; ChmiBol Philotophg.

well deserved.

Caxton, William, 1412 r-1492, a native of the Weald
of Kent, is entitled to the lasting gratitude of posterity as
the introducer of the art of printing into England. At
the age of 15 he was apprenticed to a mercer in London,
Robert Large, crested Lord Mayor in 1439, who, on his
death in 1441, left his apprentice the handsome legacy of
34 marlu. Caxton left home for the Continent in 1442,
acting according to most authorities as commercial agent
for the Hercers' Company of London. Mr. Oldys remarks:

"It Is sgreed on by those writen who hsve best scqualnted
themselves with his story, tis wss deputed and Intmsted 1» the
Mercen' Company to be their sgent or ftctor In Holland, Zealand,
Flandere, Ac, to establish snd enlarge their correspondence, nego-
elate the consumption of our own, and Importation of Ibrelgn,
mannftctures, and otherwise promote the sdvantage of the nld
eorpontlon in their respective raerehandlss." nk Csxnw In
Biog. BriL

Upon this Mr. Knight somments :

" This Indeed Is a goodly commission. If we can make out that
be received such. . . . The resl &ct Is, that fur twenty of thcas
yean In which Caxton describes himself ss residing la the coun-
tries of Brabant Holland, and Zealand, there was an absolute
prohibition on both sides of all commercial Intercourse between
Kngland and the Duchy of Burgundy, to which these countries
were subject ; and for nearly the whole period, no KngUsh goods
were suffered to pass to the continent except through the town ot
Calais, and ' In France,* says Caxton, ' I was never.' " — KnighCt
Hft^OutUm, Lm., 1844, 32mo.

In 1464 Edward the Fourth appointed Richard White-
hill and William Caxton, still abroad, to bo his ambassa-
dors and deputies to the Duke of Burgundy, for the "pur-
pose of confirming an existing treaty of commerce, or, if
necessary, for making a new one." In 1466 a treaty wa*
oonoluded, by which the commercial relations between the
two countries, which had been intcrmpted for twenty years,
were restored. Margaret, sister of Edward IV. of Eng-
land, was married to Charles, Duke of Burgundy, in 1463
at Bruges, and Caxton, who was then residing in this city,
received an appointment — it is not known in what capa-
city— in the court of the duchess. He became a great
favourite with this noble lady, and in the course of con-
versation she elicited from Caxton an acknowledgment
that " haying no great charge or occupation," he had Iw-
fore her grace's arrival commenced the translation from
French into English of the " RecnycII of the Historyes of
Troye"— (by Raonl le FJvre) "for to pass therewith tha
time." Disconraged with the difficulties attendant upon his
task, he had al>andoned it; but his noble mistress made
him go for his " five or six quires," and submit them to
her inspection, and then "commanded me straightly to
continue, and make an end of the residue then not trans-
lated. Whose dreadlNil commandment I durst in no wise
disobey." .

" The translation was begun in Bruges, the 1 st of Harcha,
in theyere 1468, continued in Oaunt, and finished in Colen,
the 19th of September, 1471." He then " deliberated in
himself to take the labour in hand of printing it together
with the third book of the Destmction of Troye, trans-
lated of late by John Lydgate, a monk of Burro, in Eng-
lishrituaL" * ' -a

TIm book ma printed; bnt being tiue anno el loeo, the
plaee haa been a matter of dispute. Ferhapi there ig
tittle riik of error in aHignlng Cologne as the city where,
and 147t ae the year in vhieb, tbia first book in Uie Eng-
lieh language saw the UghL It lias been agreed by many
aathorities that Cazton had previonsly printed in the Low
Countries the original R^oueil des Histoires de Troye, (in
14ft7,) and a Latin Speech by Rnssellj ambassador of Ed-
ward rV. to Charles of Burgundy, (in U69.) Mr. Knight
joins issue with Dibdin, Bryant, Hall am, and otherf upon
tiiis point, and to their works we must refer the curioni
reader. Caxton is supposed to hare retamed to England
about 1474, this being the date of the Oame and Play of
the Cheea, which is presumed to be the first book erer
printad in England. Authorities, however, are much at
Tarianoe in this matter. Baoul le Firre's Rioueil des
Histoires de Troye in the French, is by some presomed to
be Cazton's first issue in England. Some of his earliest
impressions are without date. We hare already referred
to the bold assertion of Riehard Atkyns, that Frederick
Corsellis had published a book in England in 14C8. ( Vide
Atktiis, RicaAHO.) We need not linger upon a story
the details of whioh Bever obtained much credence. We
now behold the father of English printing installed in his
printing-oSce in Westminster Abbey, and assiduously la-
bouring to extend the benefits of the new invention to his
gratef^ countrymen. He was one of the most indnstrions
and indefatigable of men, and literally " died in the har-
ness," for (although be printed nothing after 1490) it is
belicTed that he spent some hours of Uie last day of his
life in translating for the press Vita Patrum, or " The righte
deront and solitairye lyfe of the anoiente or olde holy
bders, hermytes, dwellinga in the deserts." He left this
-world In May or Jnn^ 1492, after baring sealously aerVed
bis generation.

All of Caxton's impressiona are now vary valuable. A
mtfj of his first book, and the first printed in English,
which had belonged to Elizabeth Orey, Queen of Edward
IV., produced in the Rozbnrghe sale, (8350,) £1060 18a.
This is of course no criterion of the value of ordinary
oopies ; bnt an imperfect one of the same work brought at
the Uoyd sale, (1469,) £126, and a copy of the Chronycles
of Bnglond was sold by Leigh and Sotheby in 1815 for
jE10$. The number of books printed by Cazton was sixty-
four, and we cannot add any thing of more value to this
article than a list of the whole, extracted from Dibdin's
Typographical Antiquities, Lon., 1810-19, 4 vols. 4to.

" Cedl'i style of preaching partook largely of his charaeterliUe

cinatlng. They were living pieturee."

" In Richard Cecil we eee a man combining the rich soil of
aaUve talent with a refinement of cnltlvatlon not surpassed by
tiassle example ; while in him the elegant and prolhond scholar
and polished gentleman are only tlie subordinate cbacscters of
the humble-minded, devoted, and enterprising Ibllower of the lowly

Chalkhill, John, is a name prefixed by Iiaak Walton
to a work pub. by him in 1683, entitled Thealma and
Clearchus : A Pastoral History in smooth and easie verse.
Walton speaks of Cbalkhill as the Friend and " Acquaint-
anoe of Edmund Spenser," but as there is no other evidence
of the existence of such a friend of the author of the Faery
Qneen, (for the Winchester Cathedral Cbalkhill cannot be
the poet wanted,) some critics have oonaidered ChalkhiU
as only a nasi de plmme, and believe Walton to be the au-
thor of the Pastoral History. See this qnestion discussed
In Mr. Singer's reprint of Thealma and Clearchus in an
■rtide in the Lon. Retrospective Review, ir. 230, 1821, and
in Beloe** Anecdotes, i. 69-74. Those who have confidence
in bank's varaeity, when tiiey read the following positive
•aertions, may feel Inclined to range tiiemselTei on the
ride of Ohalkhill believers:

" Be was In his tinie a man nnerally known, and as well be-

aian,aae]iolar, very iBBceent and prudent; and,indaed, hiswbole
tub was uaeftil, qsost, and vlrtnooa."

" The varslfloatian of Thealma and Cleardius is extremely sweet

occur; but they are only exceptions to the general style of the
poem, — the errors of haste or negUgeoce." — Lon. Bttrotp. JKa'.,18Sl*

edit,, 1822, 3 vols. 8vo. A valuable history.

Mr. C.'s grvat work, to which much of his life was de-
roted, was a comprehensive topographical and historical
account of 3reat Britain, ttom the earliest times — styled
Caledonia. Of the fonr volumes projected, only three
appeared — the result of vast labour and research — Vol. i.,
1807; ii., 1810; iii., 1824; all 4ta. The concluding por-
tion was loft by the indefatigable author in MS.

" The Caledonia is to the Anglo^xon History what Stonohonge
Is to a carved front In an old cathedral. It is one of the chlldron
of Anak. In deep research and heaping together of matter, the
Britannia of Camden ftdes away before It. A life, and a long and
busy one, was almost exclusively devoted to this stupendous
work : the author lived to complete It, and no more. The con-
dndlng volume Is still In manuscript ; and no bookseller has ap-

Eared "willing to taasard the expense of giving to the world a
onsand pages quarto. This Is one of those cases In wbleh lite-
rature Is not Its own reward ; and had Chalmers lived In any land
under the sun save this, his Csledonla would have been published
by the government, and the learned author pensioned.** — Allax
CvmilHOUAIl : Ui. of the LaM Ff/tj/ Teart,

" It Is Impossible to speak too highly of the exeellendes of this
elaborate work — ^more elaborate. Indeed, and copious, more abound-
ing with original inlbrmatlon, than any work In British History
or Antlqnlues which over came from one author. It will rank
with the llrunortal BaiTAinru of Caxdbk, which it &r surpasses in
Indrsstry of research and secumnlatlon of matter." — ^on. Quar-
Urljf Review.

" This gentleman Is the Atlas of Scotch Antiquaries and Histo-

and with pain s^omtely endured by his predecessors; whom
neither dlmenlties tire, nor dangers daunt." — 2>Adin*$ XAbrarj/

ther, Fifeshin. He entered the TTnireni^ of 8t An-
drew's in 1791. Selecting the ministry as his profession,
he was ordained in the Church of Scotland, and officiated
as assistant minister in the parish ef Cavers, from whence
he removed to Kilmany, in Fifeshire, and in 1811 to tlu
Tron Church of Glasgow, where he speedily became eek-
brated as the most eloquent preaoher of his day. The si-

he gave to the world lire Civic and Christian Economy ef
Large Towns. Mr, HcCnlloch thus notices this work:

"Dr. Chalmers Is a seolons, or rather a ftnattoal, oppooeot flf
poor-laws. His pnjects %x providing for the support of the pov,
without resorting to a compnlsoiy pnrvlsion, whkh he regsics si
one of the greatest possible evils, are developsd in thlswonL Bat
wUIe we admit the goodness of his Intennons, nothing, ss It i^
pears to us, can be more fitlle and visionary than his Khenkes;
more inconsistent with {sindple^ experlenoe, and oommon lean.*
—Lit. </ AUt. JfeoMny.

In 1824 he was appointed to the Professorship of HorsI
Fliilosophy in the University of St. Andrew*s. Whilst
thus settled he pub. his works on Endowments, hia Bridge-
water Treatise, the Lectures on the Romans, and bis Poli-
tical Economy in connexion with the Moral State and
Moral Prospects of Society, (Glasgow, 1832, 8vo.) This
woric also incurs the censure of the odebrated critie whom
we have just quoted :

*' The principles which pervade the work si« mostly bcnoind
from the Economists and Mr. Malthus; and are frequently eltlier
wholly unsound, or carried to such an extreme as to become Insp-
pllcalue and absurd. It, however, contains some Ingenloni &■
qnlsitlona it was reviewed In the Edinburgh Bericnr, (toL M
pp. 52-72.) Dr. Chalmers replied to'the reviewers In a psmphlet,
In which he InefVsctnally endeavoured to vindicate his dodrbus
from the objections urged sgslnst them.** — JkOu&odCi JAL qf BL
JSoonomy.

In 1828 he was removed to the Chair of Theology is ihs
University of Edinburgh, "the highest acadenSeal dii-
tinction which could be bestowed."

Dr. Chalmers was the principal leader of the seceding
party in the difficulties which resnlted in the dismptioB
of the Church of ScoUand in 1843. Resigning his pre-
fenor's chair in the University of Edinburgh, he wu
elected principal and piimarioa Profeaaor of Theology to
the seceding body. The degree of LLuD. conferred by the
University of Oxford, and election as a comspoodiag
member of the Royal Institate of France— " hononn
never before accorded to a Presbyterian divine, and seldon
to a Scotsman*' — are striking evidences of the eeteen in
which this eminent man was held by the most leaned
judges of literary merit. On the evening of Sunday,
May 30, 1847, Dr. Chalmers retired to rest "appanntiyin
perfect health, and died calmly daring the night, the bed-
clothes being found ondisturbed about his person." Hs
left a widow and six children — one married to the Rev.
Dr. Hanna of Stirling, an author and editor of the Nortk
British Review, who has since pub. Dr. C.*a posthsaiou

"To commend those works is superfluomi; they have met with
nnlversal approbation fliom ttie British press and public. That
the periodical press, tenreeenting so great a variety of religious
and political otdnions, should have so generally noticed them, and
that too with nigh commendation. Is a drcumstance exceedingly

** Dr. Hsjina Is to be congratulated on the nunner in which he
has fulfilled the Important task on which he has now for sevend
yeata bean engaged. Dr. Chalmera Is a man whose life and cha-
factor may well engage many writers ; but no one possessed such
materials as Dr. Iianna for writing a biograpfay so taU and de-
tailed as was in thls'case demanded. The four volumes wbkb he
liaa lakt before the public are not only an ample discharge of bis
special obUgatSons as rsgards his splendid sul^ect, but also a mncli-
needisl example of the manner in which biographies of thia kind,
combining original nanattve with extnuts trfiax waitings and cor-
respondence, ought to be written." — Zon. MJttntEun.

•' We llnd that throoghont this article, we have been serving
Dr. Hanna very much as he has served himHolf in the course of
Ua labonrs, In compiling these Memoirs. He, occupied with his
gnat anltleet, lias kept liimself out of view : and we, warmed at
tile same fire, have been almost as ibrgetful as he himself. But
he vUl have his revenge of us. All the world has r^ad, or will
presently be reading, wliat he has written ; and thousands of
nadera will be grateif\il to him for what he has done, so well, for
their edi&catlon and pleaswe; or even If they forget to render
this deserved tribute. It will be because with them as with us, a
Memoir of Chalmers, If worthily eompllad. must, in the nature of
the case, quite 1111 the reader's thongkta and heart, criticism for-
gotten."—Isaac Tatuib, in IhtNarth Brltilh Rmiae.

" We lose no time in recommending onr readers to procure this
book, which abounds with choice extracts fivm the earlier corre-
•pondenoe of the true-hearted Dr. Chalmers; throwing much light
on the progress and development of an intellect destined to exer-
daa an Influence so Important on the Church of his own day, and
to timnsmlt to posterity a legacy so precious." — Eclectic JtevUw.

n were easy to adduce many more testimonies to the
TBlne of the labours of Dr. Cholmors as a Christian teacher
and B lealoas and enlightened philanthropist: — hut this
article is already long, and three or foor more qnotatlona
must conclude it :

'*To activity and enterprise he has road a new lesson. To dis-
interested but fki^eeelng goodness he has supplied a new motive.
To philanthropy be has given new Impulse, and to the pulpit new
Inspiration. And whilst he has added another to the short cata>
logne of this world's great men, ho has gone up, another and a
majestic on-looker, to the cloud of witneseea.''— >V<>rlA BrUM

*■ We meet Dr. Chalmers as we should the war-horso In Job, with
ftellngs which almost unflt ns for marking his port, or measuring
kla paces: 'his neck is clothed with thunder; the glory of his
Bcstrils Is terrible; he pawath la the valley, and f^^oleeth in bis
strength.' Such a champion In tba arena of sfdritnal warlhre
enght to he hailed with acclamations, and henUded by every loyal
trumpet on the walls of Zion." — Omffngaiitmal Magatine.

** Known and prised throughout Europe and America, the works
of Dr. Cbabnen have taken Ulat elevated place in our permanent

atody and admiration of everv petaon."

Chambers, Ephraim, d. 1740, anOior of the well-
known scientific Dictionary which l>ears his name, was a
native of Kendal, Westmoreland. He was placed with Mr.
Senex, a globe-maker, as apprentice, and was encouraged
by his master in his taste for scientific investigation. After
quitting Mr. Senex, he took chambers at Gray's Inn, (his
principal residenoe for the rest of his life,) and assiduously
devoted himself to the preparation of hit Dictionary, the
first edition of which appeared in 1728, 2 vols, fol., pub. by
a subscription of four guineas, with a large list of suliscri-
ijers. The value of Mr. Chambers's labours was handsomelT
acknowledged, Nov. 6, 1729, by his being elected F.R.9.
A second edition, with corrections and additions, was pub.
in 1738. Mr. C. had projected a new work, rather tiian a
new edition, and more than twenty sbaeta on this plan war*
printed, with the design of publishing a volume yearly until
the completion of the whole. But this plan was abandoned
in consequence of an Act then kgitated in Parliament,
which contained a clause obliging tiie publishers of all im-
proved editions of books to print their improvements sepa-
rately. This Bill passed the Commons, but was negatived
in the House of Lords. In 1730 a third edition was called
for, a fourth in 1741, and a fifth in 1746. After the edition
of 1746 the work was greatly enlarged ; first by Mr. Scott
and Dr. Hill, afterwards by Dr. Rees, Lon., 1781-86, 4 vols,
fol., £11, or 418 numbers at 6<f. each. In this edition the
Supplement, which wag pub. Lon., 1755, 2 vols, fol., and
modem improvements, wore Incorporated in one alphabet
Dr. Rees's New Cyclopedias, 1803-19, 85 parts, 45 vols. 4ta,
is an invaluable treasury of scientific knowledge.

Mr. Chambers was also concerned in the Literary Maga-
tine, begun in 1735, and in a trans, and abridgment of Th*
Philosophical History and Memoirs of the Royal Academy
of Sciences at Paris, Ac, 1742, 5 vols. Svo. The following
remarks in connexion with Mr. Chambers's great worit ar«
not without iolarest:

vida-apread distribution of rslnable knowledge, bnt also
seeopy a highly respectable position in the ranks of authors.
Mr. Bobert Chambers's first work, The Traditions of Edin-

served svooess. In 1828 he pub. The Popular Rhymes of
Scotland; in the following year his Picture of Scotland;
and shortly ailerwards tliree volnmes of histories of the
Scottish Bebellions, two of a Life of James L, and three
Tclunes of Scottish Ballads and Songs. His Biographical
IHctionary of Eminent Scotsmen, in 4 volumes, was com-
SBimeed in 1832 and concluded in 1835. This work elicited
varm commendation, and added to the reputation of the
intelligent author. (Revised ed., 1855, 6 vols. Svo. The

In 1830 Mr. WiUiam Chamber) gars ta tbe world The
Book of Scotland, a general description of the customs,
laws, and institutions of that part of the United Kingdom.
In 1833 tlie brothers published a work, the result of their
joint labouis — A Oasetteer of Scotland. In 1832 William
projected tbe Edinburgh (Weekly) Journal, which imme-
diately obtained a circulation of 50,000, and by 1844,
when the folio was exchanged for the octavo form, 90,000
copies were required to supply the demand. Complete
sets of this valuable perio<Ucal sometimes occur for sale,
and should be procured for the library aa a valuable repo.
sitory of instructive and entertaining literature. The
•neoess of this Journal indnced the brothers to enter into
partnership. The results of this union are seen in The
People's edition of Standard English Authors, tho Educa-
tional Course, Chambers's Miscellnny, Tracts, Papers for
the People, Ac. (See Men of the Time, Lon., 1853, to
which we are indebted for many of the above facts.) The-
Select Writings of Robert Chambers have been pub. in 7
vols., the first four of which contain his Essays. Id
1844 Mr. Robert Chambers pub. a work which claims a
far higher rank than any preceding compilation of tba
same character. This was A Cycloptedia of English Lite-
rature; A Critical and Biographical History of English
Writers in all departments of Literature, illustrated by
Specimens of their Writings, 2 vols. r. imp. Svo. It is
difficult to speak too bighly of the merits of this compre-
hensive and judicious woilc. No less than 632 authors
are noticed, and tbe specimens prescnlad of some of tbe
choicest treasures of English lore enable the reader to im-
prove his literary taste while he augments bis biographical
knowledge. Researches of a similar character may per-
haps entitle us to give on opinion in the premises, and wa
add our testimony to the value of this excellent Work, and
commend it to the attention of every one who desires an
introduction to the English classics. It is well worth four
times the trifle which will place it in the reader's posses-
sion. In s few years after its appearance, 130,000 copies
wen sold in England ; and there has been a largo sale of
the American reprint New ed., with additions, 1858.

" From what I know of the literary reputation and writings of
Mr. Robert Chambers, I should be disappointed if he were not
qualified ibr the task. . . . The work will put the reader la the

E roper point of view for surveying the whole ground over which
e Is travrillng."— WnxiAU H. Pxisoorr.

We beg to add upon our own account, that no fhttier of
a family, or director of a Library Company, should b«
satisfied until the whole of the Messrs. Chambers's publi-
cations are procured. We commend to the attention of
tbe reader an excellent article in the Dublin University
Magaiine, entitled Williav ass Robekt Chambers, in
which the interesting history of the brothen is sketched
with a graphic pencil. They are well described aa

** Both of them men of remarkable native power, both of them
trained to habits of buirineM and punctuality, both of them up-
held In all their deoUngs by strict prndenee and oonsdentlousnsBB,
and both of them pmctised. according to their different alms ana
tendendea, In literary labour."

It was a noble resolve annonuoed by William Cbambars
in the opening oddresa of the Edinburgh Journal :

" I see the straight paih of moral responsibility before me, and
shall, by the blessing of God, adhere to the line of rectitude and
duty."

** Mnch of Robert Chambers's leisure time has been devoted to
scientific pnivolla, and especially to geology, — the result of wUch
has been given to tbe public In a handaoDtely-tllaetrated volume^
entitled Ancient Seo-Marftlns as illustrative of Changes of the
Relative Level of Sea and Land."

Chambers, Sir William, 1726-1798, an eminent
architect, of Scottish parentage— of the family of ChaI.-
■BR8, of Scotland, Barons of Tartas in France — was
bom at Stockholm, but sent to England when two years
of age. He pnb. two volumes of Designs, Ac, 1757, '63,

a Treatise on Civil Architecture, 1759, fol. ; 4th edit,

worth also has edited this work.

** Tbe most sensible book, and the most exempt fWnn prejudices,

cation. '

Channing,WiUiam Ellerr, D.D., 1780-184S, b. at
Newport, brother of the preceding, was entered of Harvard
College when fourteen years of ago, and gradnated with
distinction in 1788. After leaving college ho resided for
some time as a private tntor in a fkmily in Vtl-ginia. Se-
lecting the ministry as his profession, he was ordained In
June, 1803, and assumed the charge of a church in Federal
Street, Boston. At the ordination of the Rev. Jared Sparks •
in Baltimore, 1818, ho preached a sermon on the Unitarian
belief, which elicited responses fVom a number of the advo-
cates of the Trinity. In 1823 ho pub. an Essay on Na-
tional Literature, and in 1826 (in the Christian Examiner)
Remarks on the Character and Writings of John Hilton.
He bad now gained an eztensiro reputation as a literary
man, which was confirmed and strengthened by his subse-
quent productions,— of which may be mentioned his Re-
marks on the Character and Writings of Fenelon, (Chris-
lian Examiner, 1828;) Address on Self-Culture, 1838; a
work in opposition to Negro Slavery, 1835; and Discourses
on Otb Evidences of Revealed Religion. His last publis
address was delivered at Lenox, Massachusetts, August 1,
1842, (two months before his decease,) in commemoration
of Emancipation in the British West Indies. See Qris-
wold's Prose Writers of America.

The first collected Amer. ed. of bis works was pnb. in Bos-
ton in 1841, 5toIs. 12mo; 6th ed., 1846, 6 vols. 12mo; Lon.,
1845, 6 vols. 8vo, (edited by Joseph Barker ;) last Lon. ed,,
1855, cr. 8vo. The Essay on Milton was reviewed with
mnch severity by Lord Macaulay, (Edin. Rev., Ixiz. 214;)
but Dr. Channing's literary abilities hare been estimated
highly by many critics on both sides of the Atlantie.

" He looks through the external forms of things In search of the
secret and mysterious principles of thongbt, action, and being.
He takes little notice of the varieties of manner and character that
form the fiivonrite topics of the novelist and poet. Hind in the
abstract, its ruture, properties, and destiny, ore his constant theme.
Ho looks at material objects chiefly 'as the visible ezpreaslons of
the exlsteuco, cluuacter, and will of the sublime Unseen Intelli-
gence whose power craited and whose prseanoe Informa and sas-
talDs the universe."— A. H. Eviain : N. Jautr. Am., Oct. 1886, SM.

" From the appsaianoe of his INsoonrve on the Xvidenoes of
Christianity — a Inminons exposition— till the lamented death of
this eminent man, tlie public expectation which had been raised
so high by the character of his earliest performances wos'con-
tlniully excited and fulfilled by the appearance of some new and
earnest expression of his thoughts on themes which come Immedi-
ately home to men's business and bosoms,-~rellgloii, government,
and literature iu their wideet sense and application." — itetroipeet
of tilt Rdigtmu Lift of Xngland, (by John James Taylsr, B.A.)

" Clianning Is unquestionably the first writer of the age. From
his writings may be extracted some of the richest poetry and
richest coooeptlops, clothed In language, unfortunately for onr
literature, too little studied in the day in whteh we live."^
ProMr't Matfosint.

" The thoughts that breathe and the words that bum abound In
his writings more than In those of any modem author with whom
we are acquainted. He seems to move and live in a pure and ele*
vated atmosphere of his own, fVom which be surveys the various
Interests of society and prooonnees on tbem a Just and diaorimt-
natlng Judgment." — Maia OaniU.

College, Oxford, where he was diatinguiahed for hia know-
ledge of the Oreek and Latin authors. On leaving college
he oultiratad a friendship with Shakapeara, Spenaer, Da-
niel, and other eminent poeta of the day. Hia first pnb-
Heation was OTid'a Banquet of Sauce, 1595, 4to, to which
was added The Amorona Contention of PhiUis and Flora.
After thia he pnb. many poetical and dramatic pieeea of
greater or lesa merit, for a detuled aceonnt of which we
Bust refbr the reader to Lowndea'a Bibl. Man.; War-
ton'a Hist, of Bug. Poetry; Wood'a Athen. Oxon.; Laag-
baine'a Dramatiek Poeta; and Oie Retroapectire Reriew,
Tola. iv. and T., 1821-22. He Is now best known by hia
translation of Homer, — the first into Bngliah. He pnb. in
1596, 4to, The Shield of Achillea; and in the aame year
seven books of the IHad appeared. The entire transla-
tion, with comments, followed, printed by N. Butter, In a
folk) withont date, supposed to be about 1600. This
translation has elicited warm commendation and oenaure
equally decided. Waller, Dr. Johnaon, Qodwin, Hallam,
Lamb, and Coleridge are among his admirers. Pope, whllat

The scholara of Chapman's day were greatly delighted
irith what they looked upon as a credit to the brotherhood :

" At which tbne Chaiiman was highly celebrated among acholan
Ibr hia bnve language In that translation, I mean of those Iliads
that are tranalated faito tcatar ad eoca avUaboua, or lines of Cwriaan

"He ha* by no means repreaentad tha dignity or the almplldty
Of Homer. He la sometimes paraphrastic and ndandKnt, but
more freqoently retrenches or Impoveriahee what ho could not ftel
and axpresa. in the nuaa time, he laboun with the Inconvenience

of an awkward, Inharmonloua, and unberolc meaanre, Impoaed by
custom, bnt diaguatfiil to modem eara. Yet be la not always with-
out Btnnjrth or spirit. He has enriched our language with many
compound epithets, so much In the manner of Homer, such as the
tUver-foaUd Thetis, the hTrer^lArOHad Juno, the triplfftaUurtd

Bastward-Ho — the Joint production of Chapman, Ben
Jonaon, Marston, and Martin — was pub. in 1605, 4ta. We
notice it eapecially in order to give an amusing specimen
of Langbaine'a deference to "rare Ben;"

" I can give him no greater commendation than that he waa SO

The reflection upon the Scots got the authors into tron*

which "a man of the highest literary taale for the pieoas
in vogue is charaoteriied" aa "one that haa read Marcns

Charles I., King of England, b. Not. 9, 1600,

king appeared Reliqniss Sacrse Carolinee ; or, The Works

Horace Walpole considers that the greater part of the
above papers were the composition of his mi^csty, but
Isaac Reed, an abler critic, divides the Letters, Declara-
tion s, and Messages between Lord Clarendon, Lord Falk-
land, and Sir John Colpepper. Indeed, it is impossible
to decide, of the numerous collections and separate papers
pnb. in this volume, what the king did or did not write.
A copious list of these publications will be found in Watt's
Bib. Brit The literary ability of the king is beyond
question. See GAnoaii, Jobh. He did not confine him-
self to prose. The elegy written at Carisbrook Castle is
not devoid of merit, and an English version (Lon. 1655,
8to) of Bishop Banndorson's Lectures de Juramenti pro-
miflsorii Obligatione affords us a specimen of his mi^esty's
skill as a translator. Whether meritorious or otherwise,
the king was not afhud to submit it to the criticism of
Bishop Juxon, Dr. Hammond, and Mr. Thomas Herbert

But the most interesting literary question connected with
Charles I. is the authorship of ElKUN BASI.\IkH.

The PonrtraictUTe of his sacred M^jeatie in his solitudes
end sufferings.

This work, dated 1648, was pub. by Dr. Oanden Imme-
diately after the execution of the monarch :

" Had It appsared a week sooner, It might have pceaerved the
ktng."— Malooui LAura.

But Mr. Laing little knew what manner of spirit the re-
gicides were of, whan he supposed that a book — or an Alex-
andrian library of books — would have been suffered to
stand between them and their victim! The unlearned
iMdar must be informed that from that day to this it has
bMD a matter of vehement controversy — in which many
nest and good men have warred high in strife — whether
Charles L or Dr. Qauden wrote this most interesting book.
So great indeed was the interest which it excited, that 47
editions — 48,000 copies — were speedily absorbed at home
and abroad. We have already alluded to the vexed ques-
tion of the authorship of this volume under Annesley, Ar-
thur, Eaxl of Anglesey, and there referred the reader to
our notice of Bishop Qauden, — which reference we repeat*

Charles II., King of England, 1630-1685,—

* the only genius of the line of Btoart,— wsa no author, unless we
allow him to bare composed the two slniple papers found lo bis

RcdolliTe, and It wu (n th« muninieot room of this ohoroh
that h« fonnd the materiali which he eonvertad to the par-
poaoB of imposture. He was so mncb indisposed to appli-
cation, that efforts to teach him the alpliabet were aban-
doned as hopeless, and he was sent home to his mother.
When eight years of age the illaminated capitals of an
old French Musical MS. attracted his attention, and his
mother tangbt him to read firom a Blaek-Letter Testament
or Bible. So early did he display a fondness for antiquity !
He was then admitted to Colston's eharity school, where
be remained nntil he bad passed his 14th year. He was
now apprenticed to a Borirener of Bristol, where he had
but little employment, and inost of his time was devoted
to the perusal of works on antiquities, heraldry, and
poetry, not neglecting history and dirinity. Before his
12th year he hod produced some poetry, which evinced
considerable talent In 1768, when the New Bridge at
Bristol was opened, a paper appeared in Farley's Bristol
Journal, entitled " A Description of the Fryers first pass-
ing over the Old Bridge, taken firom an Ancient Hann-
soript" This excited much attention, and was traced to
Cbatterton, who declared that this paper and many other
HSS. had been found by bis father in an old iron chest in
the muniment room of the Church of St. Mary Redcliffe.
He now distributed MS8. according to the tastes of those
to whom he sent them. A citiien addicted to Heraldry
was presented with a pedigree which carried his name up
to the Conquest ; a religious gentleman was favoured with a
fragment of a sermon, and Mr, Burgum, an advocate of
the authenticity of the MSS., was rewarded by a poem en-
titled The Romaunt of the Cnyghte, written by John de
Bergham, an ancestor, about four hundred and fifty yeara
liefore ! The principal part of these MSS. Cbatterton dis-
covered— ho said — t^ be the poetical compositions of W.
Canynge (a distingninhed merehant of Bristol in the l&th
century) and bis friend, Thomas Rowley, a monk or secu-
lar priest. Cbatterton was emboldened by his success
with Barret, a surgeon, then writing a History of Bristol,
Catcott, and others, to try his imposture upon Horace Wal-
pole, who had some time before completed his Anecdotes
of Painters. He proposed (by letter) to furnish him with
accounts of a series of great painten who had flourished
at Bristol, and transmitted specimens of the ancient poetry.
Hr. Walpole submitted these to Gray and Mason, who im-
mediately declared thom to be forgeries. Walpole advised
his correspondent to devote himself to the duties of his
profession in future. The poems were returned at Chat-
(erton's request, and ho was very indignant at his adviser.
Walpole has been greatly, and, as wo think, most unjustly,
blamed for his conduct in this affair. He drew up a state-
ment of the facts which should satisfy the most captious.
In April, 1770, having previously sent some antiquarian
oontributiona to the Town and Conntiy Magazine, Chatter-
ton arrived in London, and sought literary employment.
The young author — ^but seventeen years of age — was
greatly encouraged by some engagements with which he
waa favoured by the booksellers, and sent home cheering
letters, accompanied with presents, to his mother and
lister. In a short time, however, this happy frame of
mind vanished : be Iwcame despondent, aeems to have lost
ftU hopes of prosperity, and was found dead in his bed,
Aogust 26, (four months after his arrival in London,) from
the effects— as was supposed — of aldose of arsenic. There I
ka* been much controversy wasted respecting the causes
which led to this sad event. The oft-repeated complaint '
that he was suffered to perish from want of the neoessaries
of life, is altogether erroneous. It is true that he had not ,
eaten any thing for two or three days before bis death ;
bat it is also true that he refused with indignation Mrs.
Angel's (bis landlady) invitation to participate in her \
dinner, declaring that he was not hungry ; and it is also
tme that Mr. Hamilton supplied him with money a short
time before his rash act, and invited bim to apply to bim ;
when again in need. The solution of the mystery attend-
ing his melancholy end is to us very plain : if any man i
was ever insane, Thomas Cbatterton was. If any one
donbt this, let bim read his Last Will and Testament,
penned before he left Bristol. We might say more upon
thii inttlMt, but our limits forbid excursions. That in- |
onity WM in the family— developed in his own sister, in-
deed—is no secret. At the time of Chatterton's death he
me aged 17 years, 9 months, and a few days. |

Of these celebrated Poems the principal are The Tra-
ge^ of Ella, The Execution of Sir Charles Bawdin, Ode
to KUa, The Battle of Hastings, The Tournament, One or
Two Dialognei, and a Description of Cannynge's Feast '
Sm a noOM of these in Warton'i History of English '

Poetry. They were pub. by Thomas TyrwhitI, in 1777,
Svo, and an animated controversy as to their authenticity
sprang np and raged for a long period. See list of publi-
cations in Lowndes's Bibl. Mauual, and the dissertations
of Warton, Camplwll, Mathias, Gregory, Southey, Ac. . A
second edit, 8vo, appeared in the same year, (1777 ,-) the
3d, in 1778, 8vo; and a splendid 4 to in 1782, with a Com-
mentary, in which tl>e Antiquity of them is considered
and deConded, by Jeremiah Millee, D.D, A more complete
edit i^as pub. in 1803, 3 vols. 8vo, edited by Southey and
Cottle, (with a review by the former of the Rowley Con-
troversy,) and a Life by Gregory. Another edit of Chat-
terton's works was pub. by H. G. Bobn, in 1842, 2 vols,
p. 8vo, containing a Life, liie Controversy, Ao. To these
volumes the reader should add the Life of Cbatterton by
John Dix, author of Lays of Home, Local Legends, fte.,
Lon., 1837, tp. 8vo; new ed. ISfil. This volume containf
the poet's unpublished Poems and Correspondence.

" The beet Life of Cbatterton,"— -7A< Sfmfctitaii,

The genius of Chatterton was of the very first order, and
under the guidance of sound principles, and a well-regulated
mind, would have added greatly to the poetical traasnres
— so rich and so abundant — of the English tongue.

"This youth was a prodigy of genius; and would have proved
tbe flmt of Kngliah poets had be reached a matun age."— Tuokas

M'ARTOir.

*- Chatterton's was a genius like that of Hooier and Sbakspeare^
which appears not above once in many centurioi." — Yicaailivs
Khoz.

**The Inequality of Chatterton's various prodnctloni may be
compared to the dlsproportioni of the nngrown giant. His works
had notbing of the detlnite neatness of ttaat precocious talent
which stops short In early maturity. His thirat for knowledge
was that of a being taught by Instinct to lay up materials for the
exercise of great and undereloped powers. . , . No English poet
ever eqnallMl him at the sauiu sg^. Tasso alone can be com|]ared
to him as a juvenile prodiicy." — Thomas Campuxll.

"The poems of Chatt«rtnn may be divided into two grand
classes — those ascrllMd to itowley, and those which tbe bard of
Bristol avowed to be his own couiposltlon. Of these clossee the
former is incalculably superior to tlie latter In poetical powers
and diction," — i^R Walter Si-<)TT,

" Notbing In Cbatterton can Iw separated flrom Chatterton. His
noblest flight, bis Bweet<<st slroins, his groiuieet rlUUdry, and his
most common-place ImitationB of tbe productloni of mwgailnes,
were all the elTerveaoenoes of tbe some UDgovernable Impulse,
which, chsmeleon-like. Imbibed the colours of all it looked on. It
was Osslan, or a Saxon monk, or Uray, or Smollett, or Junius;
and If it IMled meet in what it most alTected to be.— a poet of tbe
ureenth century, — it was becRase It could not imitate what had
not exMed."— HoaAcs Walku.

WMrton well snnu up the qnestion of the authenticity
of the Rowley poems by demonstrating that

** However extraordinary It was for Chatterton to produce them
In the 18th oeutury. It was impossible ttaat Rowley eoold have
written them in the flfteenth."

He also remarks :

" It will be asked. For what end or purpoee did he contrive such
an Imposture t I answer, from lucrative vh-wii; or perhaps from
the pleasure of deci>lvlng the world, a motive which, in many
minds, operates mora powerfully than the hopes of gain. He pro*
bably promised to himself greater emoluments from this Indirect
mode of exercising his abllUles : or he might have Mcrifioed even
the vanity of appearing in the ctaaracter of an applauded origioal
author, to tbebrlrste enjoyment of tbe success of his Invention
and dexterity.''— Htitory of Englixh I'betiy.

" Nothing can he more extrmordlrtary than the deltght whIA
Chatterton appears to have folt In executing tbeee numberless
and mnltl&rlons Imposltlona Ills ruling passion was not the
vsnlW of a poet who depends upon the 0|dnlon of others for Its
gratlflcatlou, but the stoical pride of talent which felt nourlsh-
roent In the solitary contemplation of superiority over tbe dupa
who Ml faito his tolfa"— Sn WAuna goon.

As the Rowley controversy was one of the most interest-
ing and animatM in tbe History of English Literature, w«
present (A-om the St James's Chronicle of the time) a list
of tbe partisans on each side. This will correct tiie mia-
apprehenslon that on their first publication the forgerie*
of Chatterton enlisted many advocates.

Indeed, considering the philolo(^eal obBtmetion to en-
dcnce, it is not a little remarkable that such scbolan •■
Jacob Bryant and Dean Millos could allow themselvea
to be so grossly deceived, even for an instant That when
once committed, they should perversely adhere to their
Judgment, and refuse to encourage any doubts snggastod
by the skeptical, is most natural. To be strictly impartial
in Judgment, especially whore penenal reputation ii nt
stake, hardly belongs to man.

" A carious, entertaining, and really learned book."— ZewiM

Chancer, Geoflrey, 13287-1400, "The Father of
English Poetry," was a native of London. His parentage
and early life ore involved in great obscurity, and the
honour of bis education is claimed by both Universities :
tberofore a* an amicable adjostmeDt of the controversy,
an ingenious theoiy presumes him to have resided al-
teraatsly at Oxford and Cambridge. Chaucer was a great
faronritc at the ooort of Edward IIL, and a devoted ad-
berant to the celebrated John of Oaun t, Duke of Lancaster,
whose sister-in-law, (she became so subsequently,) Phi-
lippade Kouet, accepted the offer of bis hand. By this
connexion the poet became linked with the good or ill for-
tune which might attaeh to greatness. Even this generally
noeired narrative has been doubted by some critics. It
will however be easily believed that in this season of coort-
ihip he eomposed The Parliament of Birds. In 1356 we
tnd Chancer bearing arms in the expedition of Edward IIL
against Franee. For some time he was held as a prisoner
of war by the enemy. In 13S7 he was allowed an annual
pension of twenty marks, (say £240,) and in 1373 was em-
ployed in an embassy to Qenoa on affairs of State. A year
later than this he was appointed comptroller of the customs
of wool, Ac. It was during this visit to Italy (he had be-
fore travelled on the Continent) that he enjoyed some de-
lightful converse with Petrarch, to which he aJlndes in the
Ffologne to the Gierke's Tale :

" I vol yon tell a tale, which that I
IitarDed at Padowe of a worthy dark.
As preved by his vordee and his werk;
Fraunoels Petnu-k, the laoreat poete,
Blghte this clerk whos rhetorike swete
Enlumlned all Itsllle of poetrie,
As t^nymn did of phUoeoptale." Ae.
Ifr. ^^rwhitt is inclined to donbt this meeting of the
poets, but Do Bade promised to prove its occurrence. He
died before he had fulfilled his pledge. Four years before
Uii* aoqaaintance, Chancer had added to the evidences of
his own poetical talents by the lament for the death of
Blanche, Duchess of Lancaster, entitled The Booke of the
Dntebesse. In the early part of the reign of Richard II.
oar poet became involved in the political and religious
troables of the day, espousing the eanse of John Comlier'
ton, (John de Northampton,) a warm champion of the doc-
trinas of Wiekliffe. Comberton was imprisoned, while
Chancer escaped the same fate by a precipitate flight to the
Connnent. Of course ho lost his place in the cnstoms.
He was so Imprudent as to return to London in a short
period; wa* committed to the lower, and only released by

disclosing the names and projects of his late assoeiates.
For this breach of confidence, he subsequently experienced
great remorse, and composed his Testament of Love, la
which he complains of the change of his fortunes, and of
the disgrace in which his conduct bad involved him.

In 138S he was elected Knight of the Shire for Ken^
and the rise of his fortunes was accelerated by the return
of the Dnke of Lancaster flwm Spain In 1389. In this
year the poet was made clerk of the works at M'estminster,
and in the next year at Windsor and other palaces. Other
proofs of regard were bestowed by the king, (and also by
ms successor Henry IV., son of his patron, the Duke of
Lancaster,) and with his annual pipe of wine and his hand-
some pension, the poet felt himself sufficiently at ease to
compose those famous Canterbury Tales which will carry
his name to the remotest posterity. His experience of the
world had taught him the value of retirement, and it does
not appear that the prosperity of the great House to which
he had ever been n devuted adherent induced him to ex-
change the quietude of his rural walks and meditations for
the splendour and exc-itemonts of a brilliant Court. The
necessity of arranging some businoss concerns drew him
to London for a few days, whore fatigue brought on an ill-
ness with which his advanced age was unable to cope.

*' He was burled In the AbU^y of WeatnilnBt«r before the chapel

edO. ^ Chayerr'f truttt. nf Btjethitu,

Chancer was a Tolnminona writer. In addition to his
minor poems, and his prose compositions, of which the
Testament of Love and two of the Canterbury Tales are
the principal, he was the author of the following poetical
works :
1. Tub Cabterbcrt Tales, extending to above 17,000

lines,(cxoIu8ive of the doubtful portion and thopros6.)
3. The Rouau.vt ov the Rose, a translation from the

French of William de Lorris; and of a portion of

Heun's continuation, of which there an nearly 8,000

lines.

3. Troili'S akd Crbseide, 6 Books.

4. The Codrt or Lovb.

5. The Cobplaikt op Pitie.

A. Op Qi-eeh Arbblidx akd False Arcttb.

7. The Absebbly of Foi'les.

8. The Cobplaikt or the Black Nisht.

9. Chaucer's A. B. C.

10. The Booke of the DirrcHESSB.

11. The House or Fare, 3 Books.

12. Chaccer's Dreab.

13. The Flower abd the Lbat.

14. The Leoend of Oood Wobeb, 9 Examples.

15. The Cobplaikt of Mars akd Vebcs.

16. Of the Cuckow akd the Niobtikoalb.

Of these compositions the Canterbury Tales Is much the
best known. The plot is doubtless token from the Deca-
meron of Boocaooio. A company of pilgrims, twenty-nine
in nmnber, on their way to the shrine of Thomas & Berfcet,
at Canterbury, pass the night at the Tabard Inn at Bonth-
wark, where they make the acquaintance of onr poet, the
narrator, who promised to bear them company, toeir des-
tination being the same as his own :

•* Befello. that In that Kiuon on a day,
In Southwark at the Tabard as I lay,
Redy to wenden on my pOgrinuge

The Host of the Tabard offers to acoompany (he par^,
and suggests to them that they should divert each other
with entertaining stories, and that on their ratnm,
« Which of you that bereth blm best of alle,
That is to syan, that tsUeth In this cas

Among the warmest admirers of Chaucer in earlier days
may be mentioned GaiTin Douglass, Bishop of Dunkeld, '

who honoured his memory with three copies of verses;
Roger Ascham, Sir Philip Sydney, Speght, Stowe, John !
Fox, Camden, Sir Henry Savile, the illustrious Selden, Sir
Fnueis Kynaston, Ac. In his close imitation of Chaoeer I
In his Temple of Fame, Pope has paid him the highest of [
ooinpliments. The learned Dr. Skinner complains that {

" The poet Chancer set tb« wont example, who by bringing whole
abcals of French words Into our language, which was but too much |
adulterated before, through the etTects of the Norman Oonqoest,
deprived It almost wholly of Its Dative grace and splendour, Urlng
en paint over Its pure ooroplexlon, and, for a bcnutinil face, subst^ <
toted a downright mask.''— IHuu. /rmn tAs Zotfa original, Sse
Um. Brit I

This charge is anmmarily diaposed of by Mr. Tyrwhitt
la lus Essay on the Langiuge and Venification of Cluuioer :

«I cannot help obaerrlng from a contemporary Historian, that,
several yean before that great event [the Norman Conquestl the
languageof France had been IntrodueedlntoUleCourt of England,
and from thence among the people."

After proceeding with an exposition of this statement^
Mr. Tyrwhitt remarks :

" From what has been said I think we may ftirly eonelnde, that
the English language must have Imbibed a strong tioctnra of the
French, long belbra the age of Chauoer, and consequently that he
ouitht not to be charged as the importer of words and phrasos
which he only used after the example of hjs predecessors, and in
common with his contemporaries. This wss the real tact, and Is
capable of Iwlttg demonstrated toany one, who will take the trouble
of comparing the writings of Chancer with those of Robert of
Olonceeter and Ilobert of Bmnue who both lived before him, and
with those of Sir John Mandevllle and Wleliff who lived at the
same time with him."

The censures of Verstegan and Skinner are thas rebuked.
Mr. Tyrwhitt also contends that the verse ia which tlie
Canterbury Tales are written, althoagh apparenUy irregu-
lar, ia in fact as correctly rhythmical as the verse now used.
We do not now pronoance the final s in many words in
which it was soonded in Chancer'a time. This of itself ia
an important item in the Aonsideration how far Chancer is
to be censured for irregularities in rhythm. The foUowing
remarks of Mr. Tyrwhitt are entiUed to great weicht:

" In disonssing this question we should always have in mind,
that the oorreetnees and harmony of an English verse depends en-
tirely nnou Its being composed of a oertain number of syllablea,
and Its navlng the accents of those syllabl«a properly placed. In
order, therefore, to form any judgment of the Versification of
chancer. It Is necessary that we should know the q}'l]abkal value.
If I may use the expression, of bis words, and the accentual value
of his syllables, as they were commonly pronounced In his time;
fbr without that knowledge. It Is not more probable that we should
determine Justly upon the exactness of his metres, than that we
should be able to cast up rightly an account stated in coins of a
lt)rmer age, of whose correct rate and determination we ara totally
Ignorant"

We commend these obaerrationa to sonie of our modwn
index-critics.

Dnrden's comment ia perfectly correct :

" The vene of Chancer, I confess Is not hannonions to us; they
who lived with him, and some time after hkn, thought It mast
cal, *c."

And the reason ia perfectly obvious ; but we do not won-
der that Dryden refused to Iwlieve all that Speght claimed
for Chaacer's versification. Mr. Tyrwhitt'a theory (which
waa that of Gray, alio) waa generally concurred in until
the appearance of Dr. Nott's edition of the poems of Sur-
rey and Wyatt Many conaidered that Doctor N. had de-
monstrated the arguments of the former to be erroneous.
But we have already lingered sufficiently long upon a
hydn-headed subject, and the reader muat pursue the in-
veatigaUon by a reference to the authorities cited, and to
Mr. Hallam's Literary History of Europe. Mr. Warton'a
lllustrationa in the foUowing linea are well worthy of qno-
tation :

** I consider Chancer as a genial day In an English spring. A
brilliant sun enlivens the tbin of nature with an unusual lostie:
the sudden apnoamnce of cloudless sklee, and the unexpected
warmth of a tcirfd atmosphere, after the ^loom and the Inclemencies
of a tedlons winter, fill our hearis with the visionary prospect of a
speedy summer; snd we fondly anticipate a long continuance of
gentle gales and vernal serenity. But winter returns with redoo-
bled horrora; the clouds condense more formidably than belbra;
and those tender buds and early blossoma, which were called forth
by the tranrient gleam of a temporary sunshine, are nipped bv fhieti^
and torn by tempests."— Taos. Wastox: HUtarf qf Bug. nttry.

Dr. Joseph Warton, in hia Easay on the Writings and
Genius of Pope, remarka that Chaucer oxcela aa much in
the pathetic and sublime as he does in his manner of treat-
ing light and ridiculous aubjeota.

** 1 take unceasing delight in Chancer. Hla manly rbeerfblneae
la especially delirious to me In my old age. How exquisitely ten-
der he Is. yet how perfectly free fhim the least tonrh of skkly
melancholy, or morbid dnx^ng." — 8. T. CoLxamos; and see H^
pisley's Early English Literature.

Mr. Campbell concludes his essay upon Chaucer vritfa a
remark which the admirer of the poet will fully confirm :

" Alter four hundred years have closud over the mirthful ftatnrsa
which formed the living originals of the poet's descriptions, [In the
Canterbury Tales.] his pages Impress the fiinry with the momentary
crvdence that they are still alive ; as If Time had rebuilt bta mine,
and were rasetlng tlie last scenes of exlstenoe." — Akaajr on RhoUA
Flitlry.

" In elocution and eleganos, In harmony and perapleulty of vep.
sifleation. Chancer surpssaes his predenwsora In aa Infinite prnpor.
tfon ; his genius was unlvernal.and adsptAMt to themes of unbounded
variety; and his merit was not less In painting fkmtltar manners
with humour and propriety, than In moving the passions, and r»
presenting the beautiful or grand ohfects of nature, with grace and
sublimity."— Thos. Waktoic.

Like many others who have given their thoughta to th«
world, without an ever-present, proper sense of moral r»-
sponsibility. Chancer in his last hoars bitterly bewailed
some too well-remembered lines, " which dying" ho yiaij

wuhad "to Wot" "Wo is me, wo ia mo," he ezcUimed
in that aolemn bow, " that I cannot recall and annul those
thing! which I have written : but alas ! thej are now eon-
tinaed from man to man, and I cannot do what I desire !"
One thing, however, he could do : from the depths of his
sincere repentance and hearty contrition, he could send
forth a warning voice to his fellow-men, urging them to a
■nbmissire endurance of earthlj trials, and a constat re-
ference in their actions to that enduring habitation which
the Judge of all the earth hath prepared for them who *< by
patient continuance in well-doing, look for glory, honour,
and inunortality." To these wholesome meditations of the
dying poet, we owe the " Good Counsail" of Chaucer, by
the quotation of the conclusion of which we shall help to
promote the design of the author, and perhaps confer no
Inoonsiderable benefit upon some thoughtless reader:
** That thra Is sent receive In buxomnesso.
The wrastllng of this world asketh a tM,
Here is no home, here Is but wlldameme,
forth, pllgrime! «irth, bout, out of tby staUl
Looke up on high, and thanke Ood of si) 1
WcAve thy lusts, and let thy ghost thee lede,
And trouth thee ihall delirer, it Is no drode."

Cheke, Sir John, 1SI4-156T, a native of Cambridge,
was admitted into St John's College in liSl, and applied
himself with such seal to the stndy of tlxe Greek language —
then much neglected in England — that about 1540, when
the king founded a Qreek professorship in the Unirersity
of Cambridge, Cheke, only 26 years of age, was chosen
the first professor. His persevering efforts to reform the
English pronunciation of Greek were crowned with anccess,
although violently opposed by Bishop Gardiner and others.
In 1544 he was appointed one of the Latin tutors to Prince I
Edward. He was a xealoua advocate of the Protastant
Reformation, and interested in the setUement of the crown
npoD Lady Jane Grey. Upon the aeeession of Queen Hary
he was imprisoned in the Tower, from whence the queen's
pardon released him, and he travelled for some time on the
Continent. But he was too important a personage to be I
overlooked by the persecutors of the day ; and being ar-
rested near Brussels, was sent to London, again imprisoned '
ia the Tower, and only escaped martyrdom by an open ro-
eantatien of the principles of the Reformation. The re-
morse which followed this step soon brought him to the
grave, and he was gathered to his htfaers at the early age
of IS. England could have better afforded the loss of
many courtiers than of this great man ! Sir John left many
works in MS., a catalogue of which we find in Strype. ,
His publications consist almost entirely of translations
firom the Greek into the Latin tongue, and fyom English

and make the war of wmngllng eonunon with hfan, which was a
ftahlon naed In tnow daja, eapedally among the disputing theo-
loglsts or among those that set themsalTes apart purposely for
Divinity. But apon the change of the times, occasioned by the
Pvrltani that way* tnrsooth, was aoconnted boyish and pedagogi-
cal."—n&ed's AtluM. Oxtm.

He paid loine attention to poetrj, and wsi conridored
hy Sir John BneldiDg wortb7 of a place in hii Senion of
the Poets:

" There was Selden, and ho sat bard by the chair,
Walnman not Ihr off, wbifb was very flilr,
Sands with Townsliend, tar thoy iiept no order,
SIgby and Cbllllngworth a Uttle ftirttasr."

Cbillingworth'a repatation for uncommon powers of
mind' drew npon him the attention of the famous Jesuit,
John Tisher, alias John Perse, (liii true name,) and by
deztaronsly plying him with his arnmenis in proof of
the infallibility of the Chureh of Borne, he persuaded
Ohillingworth to embrace the religion of that communion,
and to go over to the College of the Jesuits, at Douay.
But his godfather. Laud, then Bishop of London, in his
correspondence with him, argued with such effect against
his new opinions, that in two months from the time he
left England, he returned home, and upon due examina-
tion of the questions between the two churches, be re-
tamed to the communion of the Church of England. If
Laud had done nothing more than this for the Protestant
cause, ho deserved better treatment than he has received
from those who have charged him with an inclination to-
wards Popery.

As might have been anticipated, Ohillingworth now be-
came engaged in several controversies with his late fellow-
churchmen. A Jesuit named Matthias Wilson published
in 1630, under the name of Edward Knott, a little treatise
called Charity Mistaken, Ac. Dr. Potter answered this in
1833. The next year the Jesuit published a rejoinder,
entitled Mercy and Truth, or Charity maintained by Ca-
tholics. It was in answer to this treatise, that in 1038
ChilUngworth published his great work. The Religion of
Protestants a safe Way to Salvation, ke. This book im-
mediately became so popular, that two editions were pub-
lished in five months. After overcoming some scruples
relative to the subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, he
was promoted to the chancellorship of Salisbury, with the
prebend of Brizworth in Northamptonshire annexed. Be
was a warm adherent of the Royal party, and was present
at the siege of Qlouceeter in 1643, where be made some
military suggestions, which were not acted on, for the
very excellent reason that the successful enemy prevented
the opportunity. He was taken prisoner shortly after by
the parliamentary forces, while suffering under sickness at
Anindel Castle : he was conveyed to the Bishop's palace at
Chichester, where he died about the 30th of January, 1644.

Chillingworth's Mine Sermons on Occasional Subjects
were pub. Lon., 1664. The Apostolical Institution of
Spiacopaey, in IS44. Letter giving an acoount why he
deserted the Church of Rome, in 1704. In 1725 there
wai published by M. Dos Uaizeaux, an Historical and
Critieal Account of his Life. An edition of his works ap-
peared in 1684, foL ; and the tenth edit, with corrections
and improvements was pub. in 1742, fol. Kew ediL, Ox-
ford Univ. Press, in 3 vols. Svo, 1838. Contents : VoL I.

Discourses; Answer to Rushworth's Dialoguea; Against

tained.

Wood declares that the Royal party in Chichester
looked npon the impertinent discourses of Cheyneil (a
Nonoonformist divine, who attended Cbillingworth in his
last illness,) as " a shortening of his days." This man
pablished a work called Cbillingworthi Movissima: or the
Sickness, Heresy, Death, and Burial of William Chilliug-
woith, 1644, concerning which an eminent authority
remarks:

** One of the most rillalnous books that ever was printed ; It Is
the quintessenee of railing, and ought to be kept, or regarded, as
the pattern and standard of that sort of writing; as the man he
spends It upon, tM* that of good nature, and clear and strong
aisnaient.''---JaNH Locxi.

We might fill many pages with encomiastic opinions of
onr aathor, and his principal work.

** Hobbes at Halmsburr would often My that he was like a
lusty, fighting iillow, that did drive hli enemies befbre blm, but
would often ^ve hb own party smart back blows; and it was the
enrrent opinion of the University that he and Ludus, Lord Falk-

or devU were to be eonverted, they wore able to do if
" I know not bow It ooaus to pass, bat so it Is, that every one

(hat oUbrs to give a feasonabia account of his Mth, and io aste-
bllsh religion upon rational prloclnles. b presently branded fbr a
Socinlan ; of which we have a lad instance in that incomparable
person Mr. Cbllllugworth, the glory of thb age and nation." —

Mr. Locke recommends the last-quoted author as a pat-
tern for the attainment of the art of speaking clearly, and
then proceeds to remark :

" Boiddea perspicuity, there must be also right reasoning, w]tl&>
out which pent]aculty serves bnt to expose the speaker. And fbr
attaining of this, 1 should propose the constant reading of Chll.
lingworth, who, by his example, will teach both peraplrulty, and
the way of right reasoning, better than any book that I know,
and therefbre will deserve to be road npon that account over and
over again, not to say any thing of his argument." — Somt TTuntffUt
ooneeminff Beading and Study /or a GtntiemoH.

Lord Clarendon tells us that

" Mr. Chilllugworth was a man of so great subtllty of under*
standing, and so mre a temper In debate, tliat as it was Impossible
to provoke him into any paselon, so it was very dlfflcult to keep a
man's self fVom being a little discomposed by hb sharpness, and
Quickness of aigimient, and instances, In which he had a raie
facility, and a great advantage over all the men I ever knew."

"Those who desire to know the doctrines of the Church of Eng-
land, must read especially Chillingworth's admirable book. The
Beliglon (^Protestants."— MoSHElM.

Chillingworth's " now creed was built on the principle, that the
Bfble b onr sole Judge, and private reason our sole interpreter ;
and he most ably maintains this poeitlon in the Religion of a
Protestant, a book which b still esteemed the most solid defbnee
of the Reft>rmation." — EnVAxn Gibboh.

He was ** the best reasoner and the most acute logician at Us
age." — Dr. Rain.

** Hb great excellency consisted In his acquired logic, the syllo*
gfams of Aristotle snd Craken thorp having been a principal part
of hb studies." — Da. Baslow.

" In testimony of hb true conversion, he wrote a book entltuled.
The Religion of Protestants a safb way to Salvation, against Mr.
Knott tlu Jesuit I will not say, *Malo nodo malus qumrendus
est cuneus,' but sfllrm no person better qualified than this author
with all necessary aceomplbhments to encounter s Jesuit. It b
commonly reported that Dr. Prideaux compared hb book to a
lamprey ; fit for fbod, if the venomous iting were taken out of the
back thereof; a passage. In my opinion, Inconsistent with the
doctor's approbation, prefixed in the beginning of hb book."^
i'liibr'i HbrlAiu.

Lord Mansfield mentions Cbillingworth as a perfect
model of argumentation. Bishop Warbnrton observes
that the student

" Will see all the school Jargon of the subtle Jesuit Incomparably
exposed ; and the long dispute between the two churches, for the
first time, placed upon its proper Immovable ground, the Bible
alone."

"If you would have your son reason well, let him read Chilling,
worth.''— Locks: On Educatlim. i

For a comparison between Cbillingworth, Barrow, Tay-
lor, and Hooker, ace Barrow.

Hr. Hallam, in comparing Cbillingworth with his po-
lemical adversary Knott, remarks that

"Knott b by no means a despicable writer; he Is concise, po-
lished, and plac4« in an advantageous light the great leading
arguments of^bls Church. ChOllngworth, with a more difTuse and
less elegant style. Is greatly superior In Impetuosity and warmth.
In hb long parenthetical peilods, as In those of other old English
writers; In hb coplonsness, whldi b never empty or tautological,
there U an Inartlflcia] elegance, springing from strength of intel-
lect and sincerity of fbeling, that cannot fUl to Impress the reader.
But his chief excellence Is the close reasoning, which avoids 'every
dangerous admission, and yields to no amblgoonsDees of language.
. . . The work of Cbillingworth may at least be understood and
appreciated without reference to any other; the condition, per-
haps, of real superiority in all productions of the mind." — mln>-

Chnrchill, Charles, 1731-1764, » native of WesU
minster, of which parish his father was curate, was ednoatad
at Westminster School, and resided for a short time at
Trinity College, Cambridge. A clandestine marriage at an
early age indicated a want of prudence, which was after-
wards manifested in a remarkable degree. In 1758 he was
ordained priest by Bishop Sherlock, and two years later
succeeded his father in the curacy and lectureship of St
John's at Westminster. About this time his parishioners
were much shocked by the very nnclerical deportment of
their pastor, who was more frequently to be found at the
theatre than in his library, and who neglected the society
of grave and reverend prelates for companionship with
some of the most dissipated " men about town." External
decency soon followed forsaken principles, and the clergy-
man shortly appeared, to the wonder of the town, in a blue
ooat, ruffles, and gold-laced hat ! He had already tried his
powers as a poiet The Bard, written in 1759, was rejected
by the booksellers, and The Conclave, a satire upon the
Dean and Chapter of Westminster, was suppressed by the
influence of Chnrohill's fViends. In 1781, after being re-
fused Are guineas for The Rosciad — a satire upon the per-
formers at Brury Lane and Covent-Gardon theatres — he
pub. it at his own risk in March, 1761, Its success sur-
passed his mosteztravagant hopes. The Critical Reviewers
showed it no mercy, and Churchill retorted in The Apology.
Dr. Pearee, the Dean of Westminster, took the triumphant
and gratified author seriously to task for such dereliction
fWim his professional duties and character. Churchill was
in no mood to be reasoned with, and he at once resigned
his post, and liecame an avowed man of the world — we ore
sorry to say in the worst sense of the term. Be even de-
serted his wife, who had shared his privations in the strait-
ened circumstances of earlier days, and thus walking " in
the counsel of the ungodly," we soon find him occupying
" the seat of the scomer," and casting off all fear of Hea-
ren. That notorious profligate and abandoned debauchee,
John Wilkes, was a proper mate for such an apostate, and
in him Churchill confided as his Guide, Philosopher, and
Friend. Wilkes made him pay for the honour of his com-
pany, and instigated him to write The Prophecy of Famine,
a Scots Pastoral, 1783, 4to, which he said was sure to sne-
oeed, as it was at once personal, poetical, and political. It
is a bitter satire against the Scottish nation. He had pre-
▼ionsly given to the world. Night, a Poem, 1761, 4to. The

1764 Churchill visited the Continent to embrace his friend
Wilkes, who had

" Left his oountry for his country's Kood,"
and was residing in Franoe. The friends met at Boulogne ;
hut almost amidst the first congratulations, Churchill was
attacked with the military fever, and after a few days' ill-
ness he was summoned to his " dread account," at the early
age of 34, It was reported that his last exclamation was,
"What a fool I have been!" Wilkes denied this : we should
not have expected him to admit it, if undoubtedly true.
His own character, as well as Churchill's, was at stake.
That the erring poet experienced remorse, if not repentance,
for his transgressions, may be fairly inferred from some
memorable lines in The Conference :

** The tale which angry Consdenoe tells,
When She with mora than tragic horror swells
Bach dreumstanoe <rf guilt; when stern, but true,
She brings l«d actions forth Into review,
And. like the dread haod-wrtting on the wall,
BMs late remorse awake at Reason's call :
Armed at all points, bids soonilon vengeance pass,
And to the mind holds up rellectlon's glaas, —
The mind which starting beavee the heart/elt groan,
And hates that form slie knows to be her own/*
A volume of Churchill's Sermons on the Lord's Prayer
(hy some attributed to C.'s father) were pub. in 1766, 8vo.
Prefixed is a sadrioal dedication (which induced the pub-
lishers to give £250 for the ten sermons) to Bishop Warbur-
ton, in which that dignitary is addressed as " Doctor, Dean,
Bi^pp, Qloster, and Hy Lord." An edit, of his works was

CHU

Tooke, 1804, 2 vola 8vo. Chur; hill's poetry attracted little
attention after his death, and is now almost entirely neg-
lected.

" No English poet had ever enjoyed so excessive and so short.

lived a popularity ; and, indeed, no one seems more thoroughly to

have understood his own powers; there Is no iodkation In any of

his pieces that he could have doneany thing bettw than the thing

he <UdL To ^'llkes he said that nothing came out till he began to

be pleased with It himself; but, to the public, he boasted of the

haste and earaleasnees with whkh his verses were ponrsd fortlk ...

' When the mad fit comes on 1 seise the pen ;

Rough as they run, the rapid thoughts set down.

Rough as they run, discharge them on the town.'"

Cowper was a great admirer of the poetry of a man whoea
principles— or want of them — he could not but detest :

"He is, Indeed, a careless writer for the most part; bnt where
diall we find in any of thoee authors who finish their works wllb
the exactness of a iHemlsh pencil, those bold and daring strokes
of Ikncy, those numbers so hoxaztlonsly ventured, and bo ha|nily
finished, the matter so compressed, and yet so dear, and the eobmr
Bosparinglylaidon,andyetwith suchabeauttfulefTectf In shorty
it Is not the least malse that he is never guilty of those ih alts as a
writer, which he lays to the charge of others. A proof that he did
not chisrge fkom a borrowed standartl, or tnaa miss laid down by
critics, but that he was qualified to do it by bis own native powsfs^
and his great superiority of genius."

*' Churchill may be ranked as a satirist fanmedlately after Pope
and Dryden, with perhaps a greater share of humour than either.
He has the bitterness of Pope, with less wit to atone for it, bnt no
mean share of the fine manner and energetic jdalnnaes of Ikyden."

Lore's Laat Shift, or the Fool in Fashion. The author
performed the part of Sir Novelty Fashion, and in both
capacities he was rewarded by groat applause. In 1704
was acted hia best piece. The Careless Hnsband, in which
Cibber and Mrs. Oldfleld enacted the principal characters.
He injured himself in the eyes of the Jacobites, In 1717,
by his Comedy of the Nonjuror. He was quite consoled,
however, for their enmity, by receiving a pension from
Geo. L of £200, being promoted to the post of Laureate in
1730. In this year he quitted the stage; but appeared
again on special occasions. An edit of his Plays appeared
in 1721, 2 vols. 4to; and a later one in 1777, 6 vols. Svo.

Pope had made himself ridiculous, aa he generally did
in his petty malice, by making Theobald the hero of the
Dnnciad, because he had convicted Pope of groaa igno-
rance of Shakapeare. He now made bimaelf ridisulons a
second time, by exalting to that dull eminence, Colley
Cibber, one of the wittiest and most sprightly authors of
the day. Cibber's letter of remonatranoe to Pope was un-
answerable. His ambition led him into a grave error,
when it induced him to undertake such a criticism as The
Character and Conduct of Cicero considered ; pub. Lon.,
1747, 4to. Fielding took great delight in ridiculing him.
Gibber's name is frequently introdnoed in Boswell's Life
of Johnson.

" BoswiLi: ' Cibber was a man of observation t* Johbsoh : ' I
think not' Boswiu: 'Vou will allow his Apology to be well
done. JoRlrsoH : ' Very well done, to be sure, sir. That book Is
a striking proof of the Jtistke of Pope's remark :

' £ach might his several province well comnund.
Would all but stoop to what they understand.' "

Swift was so much pleased with Cibber'a Apology for
his Life, that be sat up all night to read it : upon hearing
which, Cibber, it is said, shed tears for joy.

Clarendon, Edward Hyde, Earl of, 1808-1673,
one of the most illustrloufl chsracters of English history,
wu the third son of Henry Hyde, of Dinton, Wiltshire,
where he was bom on the 16th of February. Ho wu en-
teivd of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1622, where he re-
znained one year ; after which he remored to the Middle
Temple, and pursued his legal studies under the direction
of his uncle, Nicholas Hyde, afterwards Chief Justice of
tile King's Bench. In his twenty-first year he married
the daughter of Sir George Ayliffe, who only survived the
union six months. Three years afterwards he married the
daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, Master of Requests.
He informs us in his Life, that he made it a rule to select
for hia associates none hut persons distinguished for their
rank, fortune, or accomplishments. We need not be sur-
prised, therefore, to find among his " list of friends," stars
of the first magnitude : — Ben Jonson, Selden, May, Sir
Kenelm Digby, £dmand Waller, Lord Falkland, Sheldon,
Horley, Earle, Hales, Chillingwortb, Ac. (See Memo-
lials of his own life.) The patronage of the Marquis of
Hamilton and Archbishop Laud was of great value to the
ambitious aspirant for brilliant honours. In 16i0 he was
elected a member of Parliament, and as a Royalist, waged
stern war with Hampden and other representatives of
popular pretensions. His teal was not overlooked, and in
1613 he was raised to the high position of Lord Chancellor
of the Exchequer, sworn a member of the Privy Council,
and knighted. When nfi'airs had taken so grave a turn
ttiat it was deemed prudent to send the prince, afterwards
Charles II., out of the way of danger, Hyde was his com-
panion, but remained in Jersey when the prince sailed for
Franco. During this retirement of two years, he wrote por-
tions of his two celebrated works, The History of the Rebel-
lion, and Account of his own Life. His studies were inter-
rupted in 1648, by directions to attend the prince at Paris.
He found him at the Hague, where the news soon arrived
of the murder of King Charles I. Whilst on the Continent,
Clarendon chiefly resided at Madrid and Antwerp. In
16S7, King Charles II., still an exile, rewarded the fidelity
of his follower by creating him Lord High Chancellor of
England. But he sufered greatly from poverty at dif-
ferent times, having, as he tells us, ''neither clothes nor
Are to preserve me from the sharpnAss of the season." At
the Restoration he displayed great sagacity in reconciling
the hostile parties who composed the strength of the king-
dom, and it was mainly owing to his counsels that the
Republicans escaped the bitA chalice which they had
commended to the lips of the persecnted and down-troddon
Royalists. In 1660, Hyde was chosen Chancellor of the
University of Oxford, and created a peer by the title of
Baron Hyde, of Hindon, in Wiltshire, to which were added
in 1661, the titles of Viscount Combuty in Oxfordshire, and
Earl of Clarendon in Wiltshire. Such greatness must
needs excite the envy of the malicious ; and this ill will
was heightened by the announcement of the marriage of
his daughter to the Ooke of York, afterwards James II.
This event was unknown to Clarendon until its publicity
became a matter of necessity, and Charles II. did not per-
mit it to deprive him of his favour. In 1663, the Earl of
Bristol exhibited a charge of High Treason against Claren-
don, the gravamen of wliich was an alleged intention to
bvour the introdnotion of Popery into Groat Britain.
There were other causes of resentment — the king's neg-
lect of public affiiirs, the extravagance of the Court, Ac —
which prudence did not permit to be openly exposed. In
1667 he was removed from his poet of Chancellor, and
(hortly afterwards received the king's orders to leave the
eonntry. He sailed for France, November 29, 1667, and
on the 19th of the ensuing month an act of banishment
abut the door to all hopes of return to his native land.
He resided for four years at Montpellier, passed some time
at Moulins, and finally took up his residence at Rouen,
whei« he died, December 9, 1674. There was nothing
now to excite the animosity of his foes, and his body was
permitted to rest in the land he had so faithfully served,
and by which he had been so ungratefully rewarded. He lies,

" Without a line to mark the spot,"
on tlse north side of Henry Vllth's chapel, in Westminster
Abbey. Lord Clarendon had by his second wife four sons
and two daughters : Henry, the second Earl of Clarendon,
(a. «.,) d. in 1709; Lawrence, Earl of Rochester, d. in
1711 ', Edward and James died unmarried. Frances was
married to Thomas Keightly of Hertingfordbnry ; Anne
married James, Duke of York, and was the mother of
liar; and Anne, (Queens of England.

I We ooDtinae dnr qnotations :

** The Karl of Clarendon, upon the Restoration, tnade It his bmri-
neas to depress everrbody's merits to advance his own, and the
king having grattfiad his ranity with high titlea, trand it neoea-
lary towards maUng a fiMione In proportion to apply himself to
other means than what the crown could aflbrd/* — Loan DAai-
mooth: KUewkBumH.

" Had Clarendon songht nothing but power, his power had ne-
ver ceased. A corrupted court and a bunded popiuaoe were leas
the causes of the eliaiieellor*s fldl, Uian an uugratefhl king, who
eonld not pardon his lonMilp's having reftased to accept ft>r him
the slavery of his ooaatry. . . . Buckingham, Sfaaftabary, Lander-
dale, Arlington, and such abominable men, were the exchange
whi<^ the nation made for my Lord Clarendon t . . . Ai an htetorian
ha seems more exceptlonabloL His mj^Josty and eloquenoe, his
power of palDtlDB characters, his knowledge of his snt^ect, rank
hfan In the first cjass of writers— yet he has both great and litOe
'fltulta." — HoRACi Walpou: R.k N. AuOion.

*'He particularly excels in characters, which. If drawn with pre-
elslon and elegance, are as dllileult to the writers as they are
agreeable to the readers of history. He is In this partlenljir as
nnrlvallad among the moderns as Tacttus among the ancients. . . .
Wm style Is rather careless than laboured : his periods are long,
and mquently embarrassed by parentheses. Uence It Is, that he
Is one of the moat difllenlt of all authon to he read with an audi-
ble voice." — Orafuer's Btog. Hiai.

** Clarendon will always be esteemed an entertaining writer,
eren Independent of our curiosity to know the fiuta which he r»>
lates. Hu style Is prolix and redandaut, and snlTocates ni by the
length of Its periods; but It discovers Im^natkm and sentiment,
attd pleaaea us at Uie aama tteie that we disapprove t^lt. ... An
air of probity and goodnees vans through the whole woric, as these
qualities ^d In reality embellisb the whole lib of the author. . . .
Clarendon was alwayi a friend to the liberty and oonstitntlon of
bis country.** — Huxc: HiU. qf Eng^nd.

** The lustre of all partial and even general Hbtories of Bngland,
was edlpaed, ai the opening of the eighteenth century, by the
Bidoryofiht RebtOiim and CivS Wan— from the powerfhl pen of
Lord Clarendon : a work, of which the impressions and profits
bare Increased In an equal ratio— and of which the popularity Is
buili upon an ImperlsbaUe basis. A statesman, a lawyer, and a
pUloaopber in Ite moet pneUcal, and perhaps rational, sense, there
li haruy any name which has reached us, encircled by purer rays
of renown, than that of Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, or any which Is
more likely to go down to posterity In a nu>ra unsulUed state of
purity." — ^Da. ^bdix ; Library Companion.

So Sonthej declares Clarendou to hare been " the wisest
and most upright of statesman ;" but Brodio, on the other
hand, brands the Lord Chancellor as " a miserable syco-

Shantand eanting hypocrite." The remarks of Southey in a
»ttar to Henry Taylor, Dea31,182&, are well worth quoting :

**Fc»' an Englishman there Is no dngle historical worit with
whkh It can be so necessary for him to be well and thoroughly ac-
quainted as with Clarendon. I feel at this time perfectly assured,
uat if that book had been put Into my hands In youth, it would
have preserved me from all the political errors which I have ou^

4DrowD. It may be taken for granted that knows this book welL

nie more he roads concerning the history' of these times, the more
highly he will appivriate the wisdom and the integrity of Claren-
don."—.SMi/Afjr's Li/e and Cbrrerpnndfnet.

** Clarendon — a lover of the constitution, of bis country, a patrlo-
tie statesman — Is always interesting, and continually provides
materials Ibr the statesman and philosopher.*' — pRorsssoB Shtth,
^QimbridffK.

** Uts ' Life' Is ftill of a thousand curious aneedotsc."— Bbbof
WjUUiURToir.

" You ask me about reading history. You are quite right to read
Clarendon ; his style is a little long-winded, but, on the other hand,
feds characters may match those of the ancient historians, and one
thinks they would know the very men if you were to meet thsn
In society. Few English writers have the same predslon elUier in
describing the actors In great scenes, or the AteAn which they per-
formed. He waS) you are aware, himself deeply engaged in the
scenes which he depicts, and thereftve colours them with the In-
dividual feeling, and somettmes, doubtless, with the partiality, of
a parilsan.**— Sfr miUer SontCt LdHvr to hit Sim,

"Tberespect which we justly feel for Clarendon as a writer must
not blind us to the feults which he committed as a statesman. . . .
In some reapeets he was well fitted Ibr his great plaee. No man
wrote abler state papers. No nuui spoke with mora weight and
dignity In council and Parilament. No man was bettor acquainted
with general maxima of statecraft No man obaerved the varieties
(rf character with a mora discriminating eye. It must be added
that be had a strvug sense of moral and religious obll^tlon, a sln-
asra reverence for the laws of bis conntiy, and a eonsclentlons re-
gard Ibr the honour and interest of the orown. But his temper
was sour, arrogant, and impatient of opposition.'*— T. B. HaCAtJUT ;

** He Is ntcollflint In tfrerr thing that be has performed with caret
hiacharactera are beautifully delineated, his sentiments have often
a noble gravity, which the lengtb of his periods, fer toa great In
Itself, seems to befit; but in Umi general course of his nairatlv^

of which few could discharge so well. So long as he offers

with so great a profusion of good things, he may reasonably
expect an abundant supply of delighted guests. It is no

need only select from the many pieces the " Song of May,"

in prose composition will be seen by reference to OUapo-

buted to the New York Knickerbocker Magazine, of which
his brother, Lewis Gatlohd Clark, was, and still is, editor.

" These three numbers of Mr. Clark's writings contain a series
of essays and sketches, under the rather fitntastlc title of ' OHapo-
dlana,' which were originally published In the Knickerbocker.
They are written In a free and flowing style, merry and sad by
turns, now in the sunshine and now in the shade, but always with
an undercurrent of deep feeling, in which there are no Imparities.
Occasionally poems, sometimes original and at others selected, are
Introduced, showing the taste and graceful power of the author,
and the habitual tendency of his mind toward the beautiful. In-
deed, we think Mr. Clark a better poet than prose writer. The
whole tune of his mind is hi<;^ly poetical, and his thouichts con-
tinually flow Into rhythm, If not Into rhyme. , . . All Mr. Clark's
friends (and few men hare had more or warmer ones) will welcome
this volume, as a mirror of ills mind, of bis qualntness, his bu-
mottr, his pathos, his easy, careless manner, his disregard of cou-

chase of a Hebrew Grammar led him to cultivate an ac-
qaaintance with Oriental literaturci in which he attained
considerable proficiency. When 19 he became an itinerant

In 1815 he retired to an estate at Millbrook, in Lancashire,
purchased for him by some generous friends. Id 1826 ho
visited the Shetland Isles, to ascertain the condition of the
Methodist Mission, established by the conference, at his
snggestion, in 1822. In 1823 he returned to London, bnt

Clarke, Edward Daniel, LL.D., 1769-1822, one of
the most distinguished of modem travellers, second son of
the preceding, entered Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1786;
in 1805 he received the College living of Harlton, and sub-
sequently the living of Teldham. In 1807 his Lectures on
Mineralogy, delivered at Cambridge, excited much atteta-
tion, and in the following year the University established
a Professorship of this science in favour of Dr. Clarke.
In 1790 be travelled with a pupil, a nopbow of the Duke
of Dorset, through parts of Great Britain and Ireland.
He pub. an account of this tour in 1793, 8ro. This volume

Clarke's nama. Their abaenoe, which it was intended
shoold not exssed six months, was prolonged to three
years and a half. The travellers visited Denmark,
Sweden, Lapland, Finland, Russia, Tartary, Ciroassia,
Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine) Egypt, and Greece ; return-
ing home from Constantinople, across tbe Balkan moun-
tains, through Germany and France. The medals, mine-
rals, plants, and MSS., collected daring this tour, were
sold to tbe Bodleian Library. Dr. Clarke's Travels in
Bnropa, Asia, and Africa, Ac, were published : Vol. i.,
1810; it, 1812; iiL, 1814; iv., 1816; ▼., 1819; vi., (posth.)
1823, 4to; also in 11 vols. 8vo, 1816-24. These charming
and instructive volumes not only claim a place in the first
rank of travels by Englishmen, but the first place in the
Snt rank. We shall addoee some raloable testimonies to
their merits :

** You have seen and described more of the East than any of
Tour ptedeceasora, — I need not say bow ably and successfully.
Will j<m accept my very sincere conKratulatlons on your second
Toliuiie, wbemn I have retraced some of my old paths, adorned
by yon so beantUtelly, that they afford me double delight f How
much yon have traveniedl 1 must resume my seven^leagued
boots and journey to Palestine, which your deecrlptlon mortifies
■le not to have loen mora than ever, 1 still sigh vv the .Kgean.
Sbsll you not always love its blurat of all waves and brightest of
all aUesf Ton have awakened all the glpey in me. I long to be
natlsss Ofaln, and winderlng; sss wbat mlachlef yon do; yoa

wont allow gentlemen to settle qnietly at home: I will not wUh
you success and ftme, fbr you have both ; but all tbe happiness
which even theeeoaanot always give." — Ldbtr from Lord Byrm to
Dr. Clarke.

** >Ve willingly pass over a host of minor, and even reapectaUe,
travellers to journey in company with Dr. Clarke, whoee stroav
powers of observation, and eloquent and animated pfetorea, both
of art and nature, have raised him to so fal)th a rank, among
modem travellers. His profound skill in antiquities peculiarly
qnallfted hfan Ibr exploring the regions he prlndpaUy traversed.*'
— Mumiy't HUtory ^f Diioov^rit*.

"There is no dfpartmont of Inquliy or observation to wbleh
Dr. C. did not direct his attention during his travel; In all bs

gives much tnlbnnatlon In a pleasant style; and to all he evidently
rought much judgment, talent, and preparatory knowledge." —
iSCermson's Di$cowry, Navigation, and Ommenx,

" The splendour and celebrity of all travels neHbrmed by Eng*
llahmen have been exceeded by thoee of the late and deeply la-
mented Dr. Kdward Clarke. Few travellers have attained so larga
and ao general a reputation. Uis style Is easy and perspicuous;
his &cta are striking, interesting, and Instructive: bis matter,
while It Is highly to the beet Interests or science, displays the keen
and penetrating observation, the hardy enterprise, and tbe invin-
cible perseverance of the author. That Dr. Clarke will live, in tbe
purest sense of the ward, cannot be doubted Ibr ao Instant : bis
name will be held in more than ordinary estimation by a grateful
posterity. Upon the whole, if Humboldt be the first, Clarke Is
the second, traveller of his age." — Dr. Dibdin^t Library Cbrnpaninn,

'* Few travellers can be compared with Dr. Clarke, whether we
consider the number of oonntries which be visited, the extentand
variety of his researches, or tbe diligence and success with which
he applied himself to collect materials, Illustrations of natural
philosophy, antiquities, and the fine arts."— Jfaaeum (Mtieiisi,
Oimbridge.

" Ue has a power of selecting objects, and raclness In describing
them, almost unparalleled. Few men have seen so much as this
lively and Interesting traveller, and still fewer have so well de-
scribed what they have seen."— £om. Quarterly Rnirw.

" On all the timica wblrb Interest a traveller. Dr. Clarke's Inftit^
matlon Is important and extensive; and we accordingly find la
these volumes a vast body of matter exceedingly valuable Ibr ree-
tlMng the errors of other writers, and for Increasing our know-
ledge of countries aspiring to tbe first rank among European na*
tiona" — Bdin. Rmtvo.

" No man has surveyed the world with the advantagea of mors
various learning, or has communicated to the public tbe results of
his remarks on mankind, In a style more distinguished for clear-
ness, elegance, and bclllty, than the learned and Intelllgentauthor
of theee matchless volumes."— /xtM. Eclectic Jieview.

Clarke, Mary Cowden, an English lady, for nnn
years past resident at Mice, has distingniihed herself for
all fiiture time by the sneeesefnl execution of one of tha
happiest literary projects which ever entered into the ima-
gination of man or woman. That laborious index-maker,
Samuel Ayscongh,had pub. in 1790 a Copious Index to the
Remarkable Passages and Words made use of by Shaks-
peare; reprinted, Dublin, 1791, and Lon., 1827, Sro.
Francis Twiss also gave to the world in 1805-07, 2 vols.
Svo, a Complete Verbal Index to tha Plays of Sbakspeare.
But these works, which had cost the authors such aa outlay
of time and toil, were very incomplete, and perhaps mora
frequently productive of tteadacbes and new instances of
the "pursuit of knowledge under diificultips," than suc-
oessftU explorations. Now, it occurred to Mrs. Clarke that
a Complete Concordance to the Dramatic Works of Sbaks-
peare would be invslnable to the literary world, and would
enter into a companionship with the great bard as close
and enduring as that which subsists between Coke and
Littleton. Or if Mrs. Clarke did not exactly think all
this, we may be allowed to think it for her. To this mag-
num opus, pub. in 1846, she devoted the untiring labour
of sixteen years, twelve in the preparation of the MS. and
four more in guiding it through the press. The length of
time employed will not seem extravagant, whoa we eon-

himself by a successful effort to substitute the Newtonian
fbr the Cartesian philosophy, whioh still prevailed at Cam-
bridge. The physics of Robanlt, "a work entirely Car-
tesian," was the Cambridge text-book. The Latinity of
this work was very defective, and this fact gave Clarke ad
opportunity to supplant its principles under the cloak of a
bettor translation, and supplementary notes.

"A new and more elegant translation was publhbed by Dr.
[then Mr.] Samuel Clarke, with the addition of notes, In which
that pfolbnnd and Ingenious writer explained the views of Newton
OD the principal snijeets of discussion, so that the notes contained
vtainally a nAltatton of the text: they did so, however, only v1l>.
tually; all appearance of argument and oontrovemy being care*
fully avoided. Whether tbis escaped the notice of the learned
doctors or not, Is uncertain; bnt the new translation, fhim Its
better Latinity, . . . was readily admitted to all the academical
bononrs which the <M one had enjoyed. Thus the straUgem of
Dr. Clarke completely succeeded ; the tutor might prelect from the
text, but the pupil would sometimes look Into the notes; and

Robert Boyle, 1705 and 1706, 2 vols. 8ro. The first eight
sermona are devoted to A Demonstration of the Being and
Attribntes of God.

Veiy different opinions hare been entertained of tliis
celebrated demonstration. The satirical commentary of
Pope has but little weight, for the theological opinions of
tht Author of the Dunciad have never been considered
espeoially valuable. Dr. Thomas Brown has a better
claim to be beard, and be considers the speculations of
Clarke and others of a like character, as

** Belles of the mere verbal logic of the schools, as little capable
of jprodaclns oonrtctlon as any of the wildest and most absurd
of ue technkal scholastic reaaonings on the properties, or supposed
Iffoperties, of entity and non-entity.**

Dugald Stewart acknowledges that "argument IL priori
has been enforced with sin^lnr ingenuity by Dr. Clarke,"
yet he confesses that it "does not carry complete convic-
tion to my mind."

Bishop Uoadly, the stont apologist for Clarke, declares
that his demonstration

** Is one regular building, erected upon an unmovable ftmnda-
tton, and rising up ftom one stage to another, with equal stren^
and dtgnlty.**

Whiston tells us that he was in his garden when Clarke
Iffought him this famous volume :

" Now I perceived that in these Sermons he bad dealt a great
deal in atstract and metaphyidc&l reasonings. I thert'tbre asked
talm how he ventured Into such subtlltleii, which I never durst
meddle with f And shewing him a nettle, or the like contemptible
weed, in my garden, I told him, that weed contained better argo-
nentil ibr uie Bring and Attributes of Ood, than all his metaphy-
sldLS. He confiiMed It to be so; but alleged for himaolt; that,
sloee such phllosophera as Ilobbes and Bpinosa had made use of
thoae kind of snbtiltiea againti, he thought proper to shew, that
the like wav of reaaoolng might be better made nae on the ttdt of^
religion. Which reaaon, or excuse, I allowed not to be inconstdw^
able.''— J/u<. Jfem.: see Bfog. Brit

We think that Clarke's "reason or excuse" shooldhave
been most satisfactory.

A great philosopher remarks, with much modesty, of such
"metaphysicks," as Whiston styles tbem,

"These are the speculations of men of superior genius; but
whether they be as solid as they are sublime, or whether they be
the wanderings of ImaglnaUon In a region beyond the limits of
human understanding, I am unable to det^raiine.'' — Da. Ram.

The topic was not a new one, nor the argumenta ad-
duced altogether original, even in the English school of
philosophy. Ralph Cudworth, Henry More, and John
Howe, (especially see The Living Temple,) had all pre*
viously been " sailing on this sea of speculation."

admirable sketch of Dr. Clarke considered as a philnsopfaor :

Coke, Sir Edward, 1551^2-1632, a native of Mil»- |
ham, Norfolk, was entered of Trinity College, CambridgCj,
in 1567; became a member of the Inner Temple in 1572 j ,
•Jid was called to the Bar in 1578. In 1593 he waa elected
a Member of Parliament for Norfolk, and was chosen
Speaker of the House of Commons. In 1594 he was ap-
pointed Attomey-Oenoral, notwithstanding the strenuous
effort of the Earl of Essex to secure the vacant post for
Francis Bacon. Henoe arose the enmity which existed
between Coke and Bacon. In 1598 be was left a widower, I
and in the same year married the widow of Sir William
Hatton, a grand-daughter of Lord High Treasurer Burleigh. ,
Upon the accession of James L, Coke received the honour I
of knighthood. In 1603 he conducted the proceedings '
a^^inst Sir Walter Raleigh, and incurred merited censure ;
for his professional insolence. In 1606 he was promoted
to the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas, and in 1613 !
to the Chief Justiceship of the King's Bench. His resist- I
anoe to the arbitrary and illegal acts of the king brought
down upon him the roy^ displeasure, and in 1622 he was |
eommitted to the Tower, and there imprisoned for more
than seven months. In 1625 he was returned to Parliament
for Norfolk, and in 1629 represented the county of Buck- j
ingham. Though now in his 79th year, an attack upon |
the constitutional rights of Englishmen proved that his
eagle eye, jealous in the cause of liberty, was not too dim
to decipher the imperishable lines of Magna Charta, and I
that his "natural strength was not abated" in the cham-
pionship of political freedom. At the close of this session I
he retired to his estate at Stoke Pogis, where he devoted
himself to literary pursuits until the coming of that " night
when no man can work." Repeating with his last breath .
the solemn invoea^on — "Thy kingdom come, thy will be I
done," he resigned bis soul to his Maker on the 3d of Sep- [
tember, 1632, and was buried at Titeshall Church in Nor- i
folk. His principal works are Reports firom 1600 to 1615. '

1630, 4to. 3. A Treatise of Bail and Mainprise, 1637, 4to.
4. Reading on the Statute of FInei>, 27 Edw. I., 1662, 4to. '
The work by whiob as a writer he is principally known to :
the present generation, and will be famous for all future
ages, is Institutes of the Laws of England, in four parts, '
the first of which contains the Commentary on Littleton's
Tennres,(1628,) the second, a Commentary on Ma^na Charta ,
and other statutes, (1642,) the third, tho Criminal Laws,
or Pleas of tho Crown, (1664,) and the fourth, an Account
of the Jurisdiction of all the Courts in tho Kingdom, (about
1644.) The first part of the Institutes, or Coke upon LiU |
tleton,has been styled "The IJiblo of the Law." We can
hardly do justice to our subject without noticing this ccle- ,
brated Commentary somewhat at length. The edits, from |
the 1st to the 14th were pub. in folio; those pub. subse-
quently are in octavo. Edit 1st, 1628, is very incorrect; |
2d, 1629, had the advantage of the auUior's revision;
14th edit, with Notes, References, Ac. by F. Haroravb I
and C. BcTLBR, (9. v.) 1789; to folio 195 by Hargravo, and
from 196 to the end by Butler; 17tb edit., with oddit. notes
by Charles Butler, 2 vols. 8vo; 18th od., 1823, 2 vols. 8vo,
and 1832. 2 vols. 8vo, are reprints of the 17th edit, with j
•omo addits. from Butler and Hargrave's Notes. (See arti- I
cle Coke in Marvin's Legal Bibl.) Thomas's Arrangement I
can hardly be called an edit of Cuke. American edits., i
Phila., by Thomas Day, 1812, 3 vols. 8vo ; this is a reprint I
with some addits. by the American editor, of the I5th Lon-
don edit Phila., beautifolly printed by R. H. Small, from
the 19th London edit, 1853, 2 vols. 8vo. We trust that
the publieation of this very cheap and excellent edit will
have a tendeney to inorease the study of Coke upon Little-
ton by oar young lawyers. Although belonging to the lay
class, we feel a deep interest that those who are intrusted |
to so large an extent with the conservation of the interests
408

of Boeiety shonld become deeply imbned with the wisdom
and the courage of those mighty men of old, who In the
advocacy of what they knew to be right treated with equal
contempt the wrath of the king and the rage of the popu-
lace. When the judges were questioned, whether if the
king should desire them to stay proceedings in any ease
before thom, until he had consulted with them, they wonld
consent to such interference, all answered in tho affirmative,
until it came to the turn of the stout Lord Chief Justice
Coke, who courageously responded that

** When that ease should be, he would do that should be fit Air
a judge to da**

Pid any freeman ever make a bolder answer, and did
any lawyer ever make a wiser ohe? We shall quote a few
fh>m the many testimonies we might adduce to the value
of the professional labours of this gretX ornament of the
Bench and the Bar:

" His most learned and laborious works on the law wUl last to
be admired by judicious posterity whilst Fame hath a trumpet left
her, and any breath to blow thtsreln. His judf^ment lately passed
for an oracle In law; and If^ since, the credit thereof hath eare>
lenly been qaeatloned, the wonder is not great If the prophet
himself^ livlDg In an incredulous age, found cause to oompUtn,
' Who hath bellered our report T' It need not seem ftnmge that
our licentious times hare afforded some to shake tbo authenti*
calnesfl of the * reports' of any earthly jud^e." — FvSkr't Worihiutif
NorfUk.

Lord Bacon, whilst praising Coke's la^e and frnitAil
mind, complains (though not with reference to his Com^
mentary) of his habit of straying from his text :

** When you wander, as you often delltcht to do, you wander li^
deed, and give never sueh BatlBbrtk>Qaa the curious time raqulraa.
This Is not caused by any natural defect but first fiir want <^ elao>
tlon, when you hare a large and fhiUAil mind, which should not
so much labour what to speak, as to find what to leave unspoken.**
— Lord Bacon : Ldter to Cnkt.

This desultory habit is very perceptible in the eommen-
tary upon Littleton :

" The Institutes of f>lr Edward Ooke are nnlbrtnnately as defi-
cient Id method as they are rich lo matter; at least the two first
parts of them; whcn'ln, acting only the part of a commentator,
ne hath thrown to^icthor an Infinite treasure of loamlng In a looss^
desultory order." — Sir Wiluam BurKSTOXE.

This want of method induced Mr. J, H. Thomas to pre-
pare a Systematic Arrangement of the Commentary, on the
Plan of Sir Matthew Halo's Analysis, Lon., 1818, 3 vols.
8vo. American edit, Phila., 1836, 3 vols., 6vo. We can-
not recommend this Arrangement in place of tho original
to the legal student We agree with Judge Sharswood:

"It may be that the original wants method; — but tho life and
S|rfrit of it are lost when It Is hacked to pieces to be refitted to*
gother upon a new and different sk^eton.**

For notices of CokeV Reports, Ac, we refer the reader to
the works mentioned below.

*' A knowk>d;ze of ancient legal learning is absolutely neeeasaiT
to a modern lawyer. ^Ir Edward Coku'i Commentary upon U^
tleton Is an immeniie repository of every thing that Is most neoofr
sary or useful In the lepU teaming of ancient times. Were It not
tot his writings, we ithould still hare to search for It la the to*
Inmlnoas and chaotic compilations of cafl(*H contained In the Tear
Books, or In the dry, tfaoutch valuable Abridgments of Btatham.
Fltxhorbert Brooke, and Rolle. Krer)' persoa who has attempteu
It must be senKlble how very difficult and dlsgustiog It Is to pur-
sue a regular InTesligation of any point of law through toeee
works. Tho wrltlnjrn of Coke have considerably abridgiMl, If not
ontln*ly taken away, the necessityof this labonr.''— Crarlbs Burua.

Mr, Butler, who declares that he is the best lawyer who
best understands Ooke upon Littleton, did much to increase

the general usefulno.is of Coke:

** One cannot help olittervlng hoir much the annotations of Mr.
Butler excel those of his pnnleresfior, Mr. Hargrave, both In SQ(^
rinctncss of order, comprehensiveness of style, and el^anoe of

diction."— n ^WKfJ EI KAD.

But Mr. Martin dissents from this judgment:

"Butler's notes, though deservedly esteemed, were confesaedly
too hastily prepared to rt«ch tho high standard of his predecessor.
Ills knowledge appears to have been more various than profbund."
See Mart Conv.; Bart. Com.; and Kltao's Introduction.

'*Slr £dward Coke— that great oracle of our law.**— EnnnrD
BtniKB: RfJUctioru on Vie Rfvciutirm in Aunoe.

"To Coke's opinion I must attribute more than to any single
opinion of any judge. No one man hath desened so well of the
professors of the law : no one man In any human profession hath
written so much and with so few errors as he.**— Sia OauiaiO

BEZDaHAIC.

We may properly conclude this article with the opinions
of some eminent American Jurists:

" The Commentary ouj^ht to be studied and mastered by erery
lawyer who means to be well acquainted with the reasons and
grounds of the law, and to adorn the noble science he prDlb— a."
— CiiATcczLum Krxt.

" His flivonrtte law-book was theCoke nnon Uttleton, whkh he
had read many times. Its principal texts be had treasured up In
his memory, and his arguments at the bar abounded with per*

Coleridge, Henry Nelson, d. 1843, nephew of

sions be derivod, in his work entitled. Six Months in the
West Indies in 1825; anon.! 8ded., with the author's name,

He was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the Mid-
dle Temple in 1826. Mr. Coleridge married his cousin
Saba Hkrrt, daughter of Samnel Taylor Coleridge. (She
is noticed on p. 406.) As editor of many of hisuncle's writ-
ings, the public are under great obligations to Mr. Coleridge.
He edited his Literary Remains, Lon., 1836-39, 4 vols. 8vo :

Coleridge, Samnel Taylor, son of the preceding,
1772-1834, one of the most distingnished literary charac-
ters of modem days, was a native of the market- town of Ot-
tery St. Mary, in Devonshire. He received his early eda-
cation at Christ's Hospital, where he became senior-Gre-
cian, or head scholar, and obtained an exhibition to Jesos
College, Cambridge, where he remained fh>m 1791 to 1793.
Finding himself in London without resources or proifpects^
he enlisted in the 15th Elliot's Light Dragoons. That he
was not happy in this situation, may be inferred from a
Latin sentence which ho one day wrote on the stable-wall
onder his saddle :

** Eheo I quom Inibrtani mlserrlmum est fViiMe fbllcson I"

This scrap of learning elicited an inquiry on the part of
his captain, which led to the restoration of the young
aeholar to his friends. °In 1794 he published The Fall of

In the next year two poliUcsl punphleta — Condones ad
Popniam, or Addresses to the People, and a Protest against
certain Bills then pending for Snppressihg Seditious
Meetings. At that time he was a leidouB Democrat and
a Unituian, with which sentimenls his later tenets pre-
sented a remarkable contrast. Hanger, however, is
stronger than speculation, and as a means of liTelihood,
our young enthusiast — who, with Soutbey, Wordsworth,
and Lorell, had contemplated the establishment of a Pan-
tisocracy on the banks of the Susquehanna — consented to
write politics for the Morning Post, a supporter of Oorem-
ment The three friends, instead of emigrating, married
three sisters. Misses Frieker of Bristol. In 1798, by the
liberality of Josiah and Thomas Wedgewood, he was
enabled to spend some time in Germany, where he pursued
his studies with great diligence. In 1812 he pub. a series
of Essays entitled The Friend, which extended to twenty-
seven numbers ; in the year following appeared Remorse,
a Tragedy ; and in 1816, by the persuasion of Lord Byron,
Christabel was given to the world. This poem, with the
Bime of the Ancient Mariner and Oenevieve, attained a
popularity which has been perpetuated to the present day.
To these poetical pieces most be added Zapoyla, a Drama,
founded on The Winter's Tale, pnb. in 1818, and some
minor poems. A complete edition of his Poems in 3 vols,
was Issued by Pickering, not long before the author's death.
Of his prose works may be mentioned The Statesman's
Manual, or the Bible the Best Quids to Political Skill and
Foresight; a Lay Sermon, 1816; a second Lay Sermon,
1817; Biographia Literaria, 1817, 2 vols. ; Aids to Refieo-
Uon, 1825 ; On the Constitution of Church and State, 1830 ;
Lectures on Shakspeare; Table Talk; Theory of Life.
He planned several great works which were never com-
mitted to paper. Indeed, an excessive use of opinm,
added to a native want of energy, produced an indolent
habit, and lack of application, which were fatal to the pro-
seoiition of any extensive project After a wandering life,
residing in the houses of friends, alternately lecturing and
contributing to periodicals, he settled in 1816 with Mr.
Oilman, a physician at Highgate, and remained in his
family until his death in 1834. A month or two befoi«
bis decease he composed his own epitaph :

Gillman, Lon., 1838, 1 vol. 8vo, and Joseph Cuttle's Remv-
nisoences of Coleridge and Soutboy, Lon., 1847, 8vo. As
a conversationist, Coleridge enjoyed a remarkable repu-
tation. He loved to keep the field entirely to himself;
and hour after hour — if the auditors could spare the time —
would he pour forth "things new and old," illustrated by
a "boundless range of scientific knowledge, brilliancy and
exquisite nicety of illustration, deep and ready reasoning,
immensity of bookish lore, dramatic story, joke, and pun."

His friend Charles Lamb gave a significant hint to Cole-
ridge offals prtipensity to monopolize, in answering the qne-
ly of the latter — " Charles, did you ever hear me preach ?"
(When young, he sometimes filled the Unitarian pulpit at
Taonton.) " I never heard you do any thing else," replied
Lamb. Dr. Dibdin gives u.-^ a graphic sketch of the impres-
lion produced upon him by Coleridge's conversation :

** I shall nsTer foixet the ofTcct bis first conTermtlon made upon
me at tfae first meeting. It struck me ss something not only out
of the ordinary course of thiiigs, but as an lnt(*llectual exhibition
altogether matefaless. The party was unusually large, but the
prasenoe of Coleridge eonoentrated all attention towards hlm-

Ib faifl IlluBtrationa of Scripture, Mr. Coleridge was more
largely indebted to CocoeiuH than to any other commenta-
tor. The reader should procure an essay, reprinted fh>m
the Eolectio Review, entitled, The Relation of Philosophy
to Theology, and Theology to Religion, or 8. T. Ouleridgo,
his Philosophy and Theology. It is to be regretted that
Coleridge did not devote himself in earnest to the prepara-
tion of the great undeveloped work which so long hanntod
his imagination. We mast doubt if he could ever have
succeeded in his ambitious aspirations to ** reduce all know-
ledge into harmony" — "to unite the insulated fragments
of truth, and therewith to fVame a perfect mirror;" but
that be could have produced a maynum opiiM, who can
doubt? To those not familiar with the plaudits of Cole-
ridge's admirers, the degree of admiration which was la-
vished upon him will appear almost absurd. No less »
man than Be Quincey speaks of him as

"This Illustrloui man, the largest and most spadoui Intellect,
the subtlest and most eomprefaenslTe, In my judgment, that has
yet existed amongst men.**— Z«(erary Iiemim$oenca.

Lord Egmont declares that

" No man had ever been better qualified to revive the herole pe*
riod of literature In Kngland, and to give a character of weight to
the philosophic erudition of the oountry upon the ooatlnent."—
Ubi ntpra.

Another most respectable authority gravely records his
judgment:

" I think, with all his fiinlta, old Sam was more of a great man
than sny one that has lived within the four seas In my memory.
It Is refre^lng to see sneb a union of the highest phllosoi^y and
poetry, with so fUlI a knowledge, in so many points at least, of
particular fkets."— Da. AaNOLD : LeUtr toW.W. HuU, Btq.

John Foster, himself a moral philosopher of no ordinaiy
rank, teUs us that

**\IU mind contains an astonishing map of all sorts of know-
ledge, while In his power and manner of putting it to use, ho dls-

ever saw, or ever expect to see.''

A short extract from a well-known and &vonrit« oritio
must bring our article to a conclusion :

ing graces of poetry and chivalry ; In his 'Ancient Mariner" he has

of Dr. Fits James, Bishop of London. Whilst travelling

Lon., 1804, 8vo. What a subject for a lady's pen !

Collier, Jeremy, 1630-1726, an English Nosjoring
bishop of great celebrity, was b. at Stow-with-Quy, in
Cambridgeshire. His father and grandfather were both
clergymen of the Church of England. In 1660 he was
admitted a poor scholar of Cains College, Cambridge. He
was ordained deacon in 1878, and took priest's orders the
year following. After officiating for some time at the
Countess-dowager of Dorsefs in Knowle, in Rent, in 1679
he removed to the rectory of Ampton, near St Edmund's
Bury in Suffolk. In 1685 he removed to London, and ac-
cepted the post of lecturer at Gray's Inn. He pub. a
Sermon in 1686, and The Office of a Chaplain, in 1688.
At the Revolution he refused the oath of allegiance, and
with that undaunted courage and zeal which always dis-
tinguished him, he openly espoused the cause of James II.,
and vindicated the refusal of his Nonjuring brethren. We
remember an acute observation of Mr. Burke, to the effect
that it is sometimes as necessary to satisfy people with
what they have done, as it is to stimulate those to action
who are undecided. It was somewhat such conriotion as
this which caused Bishop Burnet to put forth in 1688 his
Inquiry into the present State of Affairs, and in particu-
lar whether we owe Allegiance to the King in these cir-
omnstanoes, and whether we are bound to treat with him
and call him back again, or not t The Bishop says " not,"
very decidedly :

" He baTing glTen that just advanl^e ainilnst himseir, which
ame afler all tliat series of injustice and violonoB thiit had gone
Oefcre It, no man can think that it was not verv fltting to carrv
It as kr as It would pi, and not to traat him any more upon the
Ibot of acknowledging him king."

This elicited from Collier an answer nnder the title of
The Desertion discussed in a letter to a Country Gentle-
man, Lon., 1688. In this reply the author states that there
was no abdication on the part of James, and that there
were no grounds, from the laws of the realm, to pronounce
the throne void in consequence of a retreat impelled by a
fear of personal danger. Edmund Bohnn answered this
treatise, and takes occasion to give a very high character
of Collier :

" The author of It Is my acquaintance and a person tor whan I
have a great esteem, both on account of his prolesslan, and of his
poraonal worth, learning, and sobriety, Ac."

For this free expression of his opinions, our worthy Non-
juror was soiled and committed to Newgate, where he
remained for some months. He pub., in 1689, A Transla-
tion of the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Books of
Sloidan's Commentaries; Vindici Juris Regii, or Kemarks
upon a Paper entitled An Enquiry into the Measures of
Submission to the Supreme Authority; Animadversions
upon the modern Explanation of 2 Henry VII., chap, i.,
or a King dt facta. In 1890, A Caution against Incon-
sistency, Ac. Dr. Sherlock's Cause of Allegiance consi-
dered, 1691. For a number of years afterwards, indeed
until the time of his death, he was in the habit of attack-
ing his opponents by minor publications, in which his seal
and honesty wore very apparent The most important of
his works we shall notice presently.

So conscientious was he, that being admitted to bail, the
government having the second lame arrested him, he be-
came satisfied that he had done wrong in thus tacitly ad-
mitting the power of the government to exercise any legal
anthority : he therefore delivered himself up to Sir John
Holt, who, as we may readily suppose, when the good
diTine had explained his scruples, did not at all hesitate
to exercise authority so far as to commit him to the King's
Bench. He was, however, speedily released on the appli-
cation of his friends.

The kingdom was thrown into great commotion in 1696
by the discovery of what has since been called the Assas-
sination Plot An insurrection was to be promoted in fa-
vour of James, and King William was to be assassinated,
or made prisoner. On the 3d of April, Sir John Frsind
and Sir William Perkins were executed for treason at Ty-
burn. On this occasion. Collier and two other clergymen.
Cook and Snstt, attended the unhappy men on the scaffold,
and_ administered absolution to them ; although they had
Jnitified what was styled their treason, in a paper delivered
to the sheriff immediately before their execntion. This gave
great offence, and led to the imprisonment of Cook and
Bnatt In Newgate, whence, however, they were speedily
uleased witiiont a trial. Collier absconded, and was ont-
Uwed. Nothing dannted, however, by these freqnent con-
flicts with the government^ the courageous Jeremy put
forth a Defence of hhi Absolntion given to Sir W. Perkins

was consecrated a bishop by Dr. Hickes, one of the IfTet.
juring clergy. Dr. Hickes had received consecntioi at
the hands of the deprived bishops of Norwich, Ely, and
Peterborough. Collier was a man of estimable charteter
and, as we shall presently see, one of the greatest iiterair
benefactors ever enjoyed by England. One of his priaei-
pal works was Essays upon Several Moral Subjects, psrt I,
pub. 1697; part 2, 1703; part S, 1705. Part 1 consiBtsot
six Essays: 1. Pride. 2. Clothes. 3. Duelling, i. Qe-
neral Kindness. 5. The Office of a Chaplain. 6. lbs
weakness of Human Reason. The four first are in £a-
logue, written with great spirit and vivaeity. The two last
are continued discourses.

** That on the office of a chaplain Is particularly labonrad, sad
has been looked upon as the author's masterpiece."

The Second Part contains Seventeen Discourses : 1. tnat.
2. Music. 3. The Value of Life. 4. The Spleen. 5. Eager-
ness of Desire. 6. Friendship. 7. Popnlarity. 8. The
Immateriality of the Soul. 9. The Entertainment of Books.
10. Confidence. 11. Envy. 12. The Aspects of Heg,
13. Despair. 14. Covetousness. 15. Liberty. 16. Old
Age. 17. Pleasure.

Several of these are written in dialogne, hot most of them
are disconraes.

" Thej are all of them calculated to Inform the nndentantt^
relbnn the manoers, and to give a right turn to the thoughts oif
the reader."

In the Third Part the author treats of— 1. Pain. 2. B«-
venge. 3. Authors. 4. Infancy and Youth. 5. Ridiei
and Poverty. 6. Debauchery. 7. Drunkenness. 8. Usury.
9. The Character of an Apostle. 10. Of Solitude. Ihea

" If we abate the flowerlnvss of the language, which was ths

In 1701 Collier pub. in 2 vols, folio, a translation witk
additions of Horeri's Great Historical Dictionary, imder
the title of The Great Historical, Geographical, and Poeti-
oal Dictionary. This was well received ; and in 1705, a
third volume appeared, nnder the title of A Supplement^
Ac; and in 1721, a fourth volume, called an Appendix,
was published. This bulky work is now in little request
although very curious and worth more than the few shil-
lings anked for it by the London booksellers.

Before we notice the most useful purpose to which Col-
lier applied his very respectable talents, we shall devote a
few lines to the truly valuable Ecclesiastical History «f
Great Britain, chiefly of England, from the first planting
of Christianity, to the death of Charles IL; with a brief
account of the affairs of religion in Ireland, collected froai
the best ancient histories, councils, and records, Lea.,
1708-14, 2 vols, fol., (e.post for notice of a new edit)
This work called forth severe animadversion from three
bishops, Nicolson of Dcrry, Burnet, and Eennett. Bat
our doughty warrior, who cared neither for kings sor
bishops, when he considered them in the wrong, and be-
ing " every inch" a bishop himself, again set the press to
work, and levelled his batteries against Bishops Burnet
and Nicolson in 1715, and despatched Bishop Kennett
two years later. At one period the price of tliis work
had fallen very low.

" I have seen many a copy sold ibr little more than waste papsr.
But the age of book-vandalism Is past" — Dnmnc.

It contains much matter not to be found in Mosheinii
especially many curious particulars relative to the theolo-
gical publications of the 16th cenluiy. Dr. Campbell
speaks highly of this work:

" The method In which this history Is written la very dear and
exact, his anthotltles are constantly cited by the anther, his re-
marks are short and pertinent and with respect to the dlisi>t>'
tkms that are oocaslonally inserted, they are such as tend to Bias-
trsts and explain those perplexed polnia of which they tnatasl
contribute thereby to the clearer understanding of the nanattoQ.
. . . Taking the whde together. It will be fband as Jndldoas and

We now proceed to notice one of that small nnmber «f
bookB-H>f which the Letters of Pascal and ^e Romance
of Cervantes are instances — which have been found snff-
ciently powerful to effect a revolution in public opinion,
or to awaken sufficient opposition to real or supposed evilly
publicly tolerated, to drive them into obeourity, or brand
them with disgrace. Our good bishop lived in those evil
days of corruption of morals which followed the stem

tng eren sufficient romaini of virtue to m«Ve it willing to '

the lealoua Nonjuror. Compelled to dwell among them, i
he " in hearing and seeing rexod bis righteous soul from I
day to day," with that which, whilst he earnestly deplored,
it seemed hopeless to try to remedy.

That m.i8ter painter, Mr. Macaulay, has given us a

"Then came those days, never to fae recalled without a blush — I
the days of servitude without loyalty, and HenmuUtr wlthont

complacent infiuny, her degrading insults, and her more dograd-
ing Kold. The caresses of harlots, and the jests of butToons, regu-
lated the measures of a government, which badjnst ability enough
to deceive, and just religion enough to persecute. . . . Crime suc-
ceeded to crime, and disgrace to disgrace, till tbe race, aocursed
of Ood and man, was a second time driven forth, to wander on
tbe Iboe of tbe earth, and to be a by-word and a shaking of head
to the nations." — MlLTox : £d, Senne^ xlii. 804.

The u&eound condition of pablio and prlTato molality
was faithfully refleoted in the drama, and oatentationsly
diaplayed upon the stage :

** During the forty years which fbUowed the Restoration, the
whole body of tbe dramatists invariably represqnt adultery — we
do not say as a peccadUlo — we do not say as an error which tbe
vlolenoe of passion may excuse— but as the calllogof a fine gentle-
man—as a grace wlthont which his ebafaeter would be ImperfecL
It is ss essential to his breeding and to bis place to socleiy that
he should make love to tbe wives of his ncnghbonrs, as that be
should know French, or that he should have a sword at hk side.

called preference. Tbe hero intrigues. Just ss he wears a wig ; be-
cause If he did not, be would be a queer fellow, a city prig, per^
lisps a Pnritan. All the agreeable qnalilles are always given to
tbe gallant. All tbe contempt and aversion are tbe portion of the
nnfivtnnate husband. . . . The dramatist evidently does his best
to make tbe person who commits the injury graceful, sensible,
and spirited, and tbe peraon who snffers It a'fbol, or a tyrant, or
both.''— Omiu: DnmaUtU <(ftht BeMtoratlan.

There is nothing too wicked, nothing too absard, to l*«k
sdrorates and apologiste. Therefore we need not be snr-
priaed to find Dennis, Drake and Filmer abetting, Leigh
Bunt defending, and Charles Lamb apologiiing tor, snoh
literary satyrs as Wyoherly, Congreve, Farqnhar, Van-
brugb, and, we are sorry to add, John Dryden.

The stago seemed to present an available point of attack
on the uQcloan monster of social corruption, and Collier
naolved to commence the war of extermination on its
stronghold. In 1698 be published A Short View of tbe
Immorality and Profasenesa of the English Stago, to-
gether with the Sense of Antiquity npon this Argument
In the prelaee to this work, now before ns, he briefly states
the object of his critique, and the necessity existing for a
rebuke of the character attempted :

'■ Bring convinced that nothing baa gone (brtber In Debanching
tbe Age than tbe Slace-Poeta and Play-IIouse; I thought I could
Dot employ my Time better than In writing against them. These
men, aars, take Tirtne and Regularitv Ibr Oreat Enemies; why
else Is theb' dIaiifeetiOD so rery remarkable? It muxt be said,
they have made their attack with great Courage, and gained no
very Inconsiderable Advantage. But It seems, Lewdness wlthont

Remove from worsblppinR the DeviL**

Tbe first charge is the immodesty of tbe stage, and the
natural consequences of such indecency. He shows that
the theatres of the Oreeks and Romans were far less guil^
in this respect than the English theatre. In the latter
Dart of the first chapter, he quotes the testimony of Bon
Joncon, Beaumont and Fletcher, and Comeille against the
•buses which he condemns. Chap. 2d is entitled, " The
Frofaneness of the Stage," which is proved by instances
of " Cnrsing and Swearing," " Blasphemy," "Abuse of Re-
ligion and tbe Holy Scriptures." He brings this grave
ebar^ against the writings of Dryden, Congrcve, Otway,
and Tanbrugh. Chap. 3d is entitled, " The Clergy abused
by tbe Stage." Chap. 4th considers the subjoot of " Im-
moraJity eneonraged by the Stage." Chap. &th is devoted
to miseellaneoos refleotiona, " Remarks npon Amph3rtrion,
Od tbe Comical History of Don Quixote," fte. In chap, fith
bo reinforces bis position by citations from Heathen philo-
sopher*. Christian fathers, and Catholic councils. The
raio ot this work was so large, that the 4th edition lying
before ns bears the date of 1699 : the first was published
Haroh 1697-98.

That Collier, like lealons disputants generally, may in
some instances have stretched his indictment too far, and
mistaken levity for sin, and want of taste for want of de-

corum, can he allowed without denying him the character
to which he is justly entitled, of tbe Reformer of tbe Eng-
lish Stage. Not by any means that be cleansed entirely
the Augean Stable. He removed some abominations, bnt
many remaned, and exist in destnetire vitality to this
day. From that time to the present, the English and
Amoricsm theatres have been the prime corrupters of the
morals of the people. The Stage is emphatically tbe
School of Vice. We have sometimes pleased ourselves
with the speculation that the drama might be purified, and
made an agent of Innocent amusement, and historical,
perchance even moral, instruction : but we almost despair
of such a renovation. Certain it is, that conducted as
our theatres are at present, taking together that which is
acted upon, behind, and before tbe stage, we consider
that no one who has a proper regard for (he interests of
morality can consistently lend hit influence or connte-
nance to snch demoralizing ezhibitiona.

If it should be thought that we are too severe in our judg-
ment, we answer that the facta of the case are in this, as
in every other question, the best evidence. This evidenee
will prove that three out of every four young men who be-
come victims to licentiousness and intemperance are first
introduced to vice through the medium of the theatre. Ai
to the other sex — how fathers can permit their daughters,
husbands their wives, lovers the objects of their afiections,
to have their eyes and ears ofiended by what must be heard
and witnessed by those who visit the theatres, is marvel-
lous indeed !

Bnt to return to our subject. Collier's vigorous charge
threw the ranks of tbe enemy into great confusion. Uis
proofs were too strong to be evaded ; bis oanso too good to
be disgraced by ridicule. When they had a little recovered
from the shuck, Congreve made a feeble attempt at a de-
fence, which he entitled Amendments of Mr. Collier's false
and imperfect citation from the Old Bachelor, the Double
Dealer, te. Vanbrugh also came to the rescue of his sorely-
berated production, in a pamphlet which he called A Short
Vindication of The Relapse and the Provoked Wife. Nor
were these all. Collier had disturbed a hornet's nest : Set-
tle, and Dennis, and Drake, attacked him with impertinent
bussing, though unable to sting. Wycherley was suspected
of being one of his assailants. Dr. Filmer took sides
against the redonbtable Nonjuror in A Defence of Plays,
which had better have been unwritten.

Bnt a man who had the courage to deny the right of a
king to his throne, and to beard bishops upon their bench,
was not to bo intimidated by a few licentious poets and
their apologists. He followed up his first fire with unwa-
vering resolution, in the following publications : 1. A De-
fence of the Short View, Ac, being a Reply to Mr. Con-
greve's Amendments, Ac, and to the Vindication of the
author of the Relapse, Lon., 1699. 2. A Second Defence
of the Short View, being a Reply to a Book entitled The
Aficiont and Modem Stages Surveyed, Ao., Lon., 1700.
This " Book" was written by Dr. Drake. 8. A farther Vin-
dication of the Short View, te., in which the objections of
a late Book, entitled A Defence of Plays, are considered,
Lon., 1708. 4. Mr. Collier's Dissuasive from the Play
House ; in a letter to a Person of Quality, occasioned by
the late calamity of the Tempest, Lon., 1708.

Collier's victory was not onlv decided, bat overwhelming.
Dramatists and actors tram that time felt that a healthfhl
public sentiment was in action, which would call them to
account for at least heinous ofiences, and they became more
oircnmspeot, if not really more virtuous. It was not a
little to die credit of Dryden, that he attempted no defence
of that which he doubtless felt to be indefensiblo. He did
not oven put forth that most foolish of all pleas, which we
are sorry to see sometimes used on behalf of others by
writers who should know better, that he was no worse than
the prevailing tone of the times. If this be a valid defence,
how shall the world ever grow better 7 How did Collier
happen to be better than the times ? Had they not the
same code of morality, in the Inspired volume, two hun-
dred years ago, that we have now 7 To hear such apolo-
gists, we might suppose that the Scriptures were a recent
grant to mankind. Some years later, indeed, Dryden, in
referring to the subject in the preface to his " Fables," en-
tered a protest against the rough handling he had received,
and pnt in a plea to mitigate the force of the sentence,
bnt fae winds np with a confession which is to the credit
of his candour. He finds fhult with Collier's rudeness,
and the "horse play of his raillery," and declares that "in
many places he has perverted by his glosses the meaning"
of what be eengures; bnt be admits that be is justly con*
deraned :

Dr. JohnsoBi in hu Life of Congreve, gives an animated
deaeription of the battle between Collier and the Dramatio
poets. Of the assailant, he remarks: I

"Hewai formed for a controvertist; with saffldent learning; ]
with diction vehement and pointed, though often vulnirand In-
oorrect: with unconquerable pertinacity; wUb wit in the highest '
degree keen and Rarcasttc; and with all those powers exalted and <
invigorated by just confideDce In his cause. Thus qnalified, and i
thus incited, he walked out to battle, and assailed at onoe moat '
of the living authors from Dryden to D'Urfey. Ula onset was vk>- {
lent; those passages, which while they stood single had passed I
with little notice, when they were accumulated and expotied to- |
gether. excited horror; the wise and the pious cai^fat the alarm;
and the nation wondered why it had so long suffered irrellgion |
and Uoentiousnees to be open^ taught at the public charge. No-
fhlng now remained for tlie poets but to resist or fly. Dryden's
eonsdence, mr his prudence, angry as he was, withheld him from I
the conflict. Con|;revo and Tanbrugh attempted answers. • • ■ |
The stage found other advocates, and the dispute was protracted
through ten years: — but at last Comedy grow mora modest: and
Ocdlier lived to see the reward of bis labour In the relbrmatlon of
tiie theatre. Of the powers by which this Important victory was
acUeved, a quotation from ' Love for Love,' and the remark upon
it, may afford a specimen:

** ' Sir Sampson Snmpson'sa very good name; IbryoarSuDpsons
wera stroug doga from the beginning.

" * Angflica.—Umve a carel If you rememher, the strongest
Bampeon of your name pull'd an old house over his head at lastP

" * Here you have the Sacred History burlesqued ; and ^mpeon
once mora brought into the house of Dagon to make sport for the
Philistines.' [Collier's Comment."]

For a graphio sketch of this controversy, and of the
dramatic poetry of the time, we refer the reader to Mr.
Hacaulay's Comic Dramatists of the Restoration, Edin-
bnrgh Re view, January, 1S41. The Reviewer admits the
occasional errors in his indictment, into which an honest
ceal betrayed the author of the Short View, bnt agrees
with the verdict of the day, that

"When alt these deductlnns have been made, great merit must
be allowed to this work. There is hardly any book of that time
ttom which it would be possible to collect specimens-of writing so
excellent and so varloua To compare Collier with Pascal would
Indeed be n1>&urd. Yet we hardly know where, except in the
Provincial I^tterR, we can And mirth so hannonlously and becom-
ingly blfuded with solemnity, as in the Short View. In truth, all
the models of ridicule, from broad fun to polished and antithetical
sarcasm, were at Collier's command. On the other hand, he was
completemasterof the rhetoric of honest indignation. We scarcely
know any volumewhich contains so many bursts of that eloquence
which comes fh)m the heart, and goes to the heart Indeed the
Spirit of the book is truly heroic . . . Congreve's answer was a
eomplete &llure. He was angry, obscure, and dull. Even tlie
Qreen Itoom and Will's Coffee House were compelled to acknow-
ledge, that in wit the parson had a decided advantage over the
poet.**

Collier has received ample commendation from many
quarters:

" I question whether any man can read Swift's Tale of a Tu\ or
I>on <lnevedo's Visions, without finding himself the worse for it,
In rejpard to all such indiscreet applications of wit, every yonng
student may guard his mind, and rectify his judgment, by read-
ing Mr. Collier's Yifw of the ProGineness and Immorality of the
Snglinh Sia^re: a book which brou^^ht Dryden to repentancot and
does indeed begpir every work uymn the same argument. It is
the triumph of wit orer scurrility ; of piety over proflinenesfl : of
leamliw over Ignorance : an d of<%rlstlantty over Anietsm." — zieUer
Jrvm a Tutor tn hu PupQt.

" It was certainly a very bold thing In Mr. Collier to attack at
once the Wits and Witlings of thoso times: among the first wen
Mr. Dryden. Mr.Oongreve, and Mr. Vanbrngh; among the latter,
were Tom Durfby and many mora: but he Is certainly to be com-
mended for forming so good a design as that of reducing the stage
to order, and thereby preventing the morals of mankind from be-
ing corrupted, where they ought to be amended." — Dr. Campbeu*

"The public opinion ran so much against the defenders of the
theatre, and In fiivour of their enemy, that King William consi-
dered Mr. Collier's book as a work which entitled the author of it
to some lenity in a prosocutton then carrying on in conaeqaenco
of errors In his political conduct." — jyefaoA to Sup, to DoeUla^s

Gibber observes that the callinfi; our dramatic writers to
this strict account hada very wholesome effect upon those
who wrote after this time. Tboy were now a great deal
more upon their guard; indecencies were no longer wit;
and by degrees the fair sex came again to fill the boxes on
the first day of a new comedy, without fear or censure.
We may be allowed to repeat the opinion that neither at
that, nor at any subsequent time, has the box of the theatre
been the most proper place in the world for a modest and
refined woman. In ooncluding onr notice of this warm-
heartedf exemplary, and truly excellent divine, wo should
not forget to mention that Father Courbeville speaks in
the highest terms of Collier's Miscellaneous Works, which
he declares set him on a level with Montaigne, St. £vre-

COL

mondf I«aBmydre, Ac. He made a translation of the Short
View into French, which gave him an opportunity of re-
newing his commendation. Collier has been suspected of
a leaning to popery, because, towards the close of his life,
he "mixed water with wine in the Eucharist^ made the

tation of the sick, and offered up prayers for the dead."
But we have many instances of an adoption of some par-
ticular ceremonies, and even doctrines of ecclesiastical
communion, whilst other portions of the same code are ve-
hemently denounced.

Bishop Burnet indeed complains of our author's Eccle-
siastical History on this wise :

" There appeared to me quite through the second volume, such
a constant inclination to Javour the popish doctrine, and to cen-
sure the Reformers, that*! should have bad a better opinion of the
antboi's Int^rity. if be had professed himself to be not of our
communion, norof the communion of any other Protestant Church."
— Preface to the Hut. qf the Refarmatiun of Vtt Church of England.
Now we believe the bishop to hare been a truly honest
man, many opinions to the contrary ; but the charges of ft
party writer, and veteran disputant mnst always be re-
ceived with caution, and Bishop Burnet waa " a man of war
from his youth,"

In 1848 appeared Shakapeare's Library, a Collection of
the Ancient Romancea, Novels, Legends. Poems, and His-
tories used by Shakspeare as the foundation of his Dramas.
Now first collected, and accurately reprinted from the Ori-
ginal Editions, with Introductory Notices, 2 Tols. -Svo.
This valuable work places In the hands of the reader, for a
few shillings, matter that could before have been purchased
only by an outlay of hundreds of pounds, and which waa I
in many cases altogether inaccessible. In the same year
Mr. C pub. Extracts of the Registers of the Stationers'
Company of Books entered for publication, 1555-70. In
the midat of hia many labours, Mr. C. has occasionally
found time to promote the objects of three societies in
which he felt deeply interested : — ^ho has edited aevcral
works for the Camden and Shakspeare Societies, and con-
tributed to the Transaotiona of the Society of Antiquaries,
of which body he waa made Vice-President in 1850. But
it is by his last publicaUon that Mr. Collier haa produced
a terrible excitement among the antiquaries and ghakspea-
rian eritiea, real and mock. In 1849 Mr. C. purchased
from Thomas Rodd a folio Shakspeare of 1832, which
proved to be full of emendations, which a little examina-
tion satisfied the happy posaeasor were entitled to great
reapect, aa the intelligent annotations of an early hand.
In 1852 Mr. C. put forth a volume with his newly-found
treuures displayed to the eyes of a curious world. The
eritiea — many of them, certainly — were in ecstasies.

"In spite of our own antlclpatkins. and In spite of Jlr. Collier's
own editorial spirit, we have here put forth by that gentleman a
Tolnme, whfeh. If we mistake not, will do morelbr revolutloniiln;,
and mofe for amending, the printed words of Shakspeare, than all
the critics whose labours fill the one«nd-twenty volumes of the
Tarioram Editkra."— Zon. Omt. Mag., April, 1853.

" It win ft>rm henoelbrth an Inseparable pendant to the received
additions, and most undoubtedly take the lead over every other
eompllation of ' Notes and Emendations.* It Is not going too fiir
to praooanoe that In Intrinale value It Is birly ■ worth all the rest' "
—DMin mUvenitf Mag., MmJt, IMS.

" Men have acquired reputation by a single emendation of Shake,
peare ; learned editors have exceedingly plumed themselves upon
a few saoceesful hits; the best critics have done but Uttio:— here
we have m book that 'at one fell swoop' knocks out a thousand
erroia, ft>r the most part so palpable, when once pointed out, that
no one eaai deny their existence, and snbstltntes emendations so
dear that we cannot hesitate to accept them." — £oit. Athaitrum.

"The corrections wlilch Mr. Collier has hero given to tbe world,
are. we venture to think, of more value than the labours of nearly
all the critics on Shakspeare's text put together."— ion. Lit. Oatette.

ing for half a century over half a doien "emendations,"
were by no means diapoaed to swallow twenty thousand at
once. The commentators gave "horrid note of war," and
Mr. Collier was soon stoutly aaaailed by those who felt

" In his last illness be qxike with disapprobation of his Oriental
Eclogues, as not sufBciently expressive of Asiatic manners, and

About 1744 he came to London, "» literary adrentnrer,
with many projects in his head, and very little money in
his pockets." He pub. Proposals for a History of the Ro-
Tival of Learning, planned several tragedies, and designed
many works which he never wrote.

" His great ftult was Irresolution ; or the frequent Mils of Im-
Bedlate necessity broke his scheme, and suffered him to pursue
noaettled purpose." — Dr. Jobxson. See Diaraell'a oonuaeBta upon
Johnson's renuu'ks : Oslamltles of Authors.

In 1747 he pub. his Odes, but excellent as they were,
Siey were entirely neglected, and Millar, the publisher, was
s loser by the operation. In 1740 the unsuccessful poet
leoeived a legacy of £2000 from the executors of his uncle,
Colonel Martin, who had previously befriended him. Ho
paid Millar the money which he had lost by the Odes, and
threw the renAining copies into the fire. An irregular
life had combined with mortification and disappointment
to unsettle his mind, and to avert the fearful calamity with
■which he felt himself threatened, he travelled for aome
time in France, in hopes of benefit from change of scene.
But he returned home to enter that sad mansion — a luna-
tic asylum ; from which ho retired to the house of bia sister
St Chichesto, where he died at the early age of thirty-six.
Johnson visited him at Islington, and gives an affecting
sccoDnt of the interview. Collins held a volume in his
hand, "I have but one book," he remarked, "but that ia
the beet" It was a copy of the New Testament. Several
edits, of his works have been pub. ; one of the best of which
ia that by Rev. Alexander Dyce, which includes the Life by
Johnson, and Observations on hia Writings by Dr. Lang-
borne, Lon., 1827, r. Bvo. See Collections of English
Poetry by Johnson^ Bell, Anderson, Ac. The Odes on the
Passions, To Evening, To the Brave, To Mercy, and On
tb« Death of Thomson, can never become obsolete. We
sppend aome opinions upon the works of this truly exoel-
Iratpoet :

"the works of Collhia wUl abide comparison with whatever
«nton wrote under the age of thirty. If they have rather Was
exuberant wealth of genius, they have more exquisite touches of
jathee- *"ke HOton, he leads us Into the banntc?d ground of
ImaglllaiioD : like him, be has the rich economy of expression hal-
lowed with thooght, which by single or few words often hints
entire pictures to the Imagination. . . . Had he lived to enjoy and
adorn existence, II Is not easy to conceive his sensitive spirit and
harmonious ear descending to mediocrity In any path of poetry ;
yet K may be doubted If his mind had not a passion for the vl-
sioiiary and remote Ibrm* of Imaglnatlan too strong and exclusive
ftr the general purposes of the drama."— CbmjiMCt Uret of tht
Iveis.

"One of our most exquisite poets, and of whom, peihaps, wl(h-
ont exaggeration, It may be asserted, that ho partook of the cre-
dulity and enthusiasm of Tssso, the magic wlldnew of .'hskspesre,
the soMlmlty of Milton, and the pathos of Ossian."— i>raie'« Litt-
rary Hottnt.

" He had a wonderftil combination of excellencies. United to
splendour and sublhnlty of Imagination, he had a richness of eru-
dition, a keenness of research, a nicety of taste, and an elegance
and truth of moral reflection, which astonished those who had the
lurk to W intlmste with him." — Sir EoeRTON BRTnnr«i.

"Of all our minor poets, that Is. those who have attempted only
short pieceiS Collins Is probably the one who has shown most of
the hlcher qaalttles of poetry, and who exdtea the most Intense
Interest In the bosom of the reader. lie soars Into the regions of
fanaglDatlon, and occupies the hkbest peaks of Parnassus. Ills
fcncy Is glowing and vfvld, but at the same time hasty and obscure.
Ha has the trao inspiration of the poet He heats and melts ob-
jects. In the fervour of his genius, as In a ftimace."— Hmuit.

' His dktloD was often harsh and unskilfully labonred and In-
judiciously selected. He affected the obsolete when ft was not
worthy of revival ; and he puts his words out of the common
order, seeming to think, with some later candidates Ibr feme, that
not to srrito prose la certainly to write poetry. His lines com-
monly are of slow motion, eloped and Impeded with clusters of
oonaoaanta. As men an often esteemed who cannot be loved, so
the poetry of Oollina may aomettmea extort praise when it giTM
little pleasure."— JoBKSOIi : Lita (ff Me SnfjUA lixii.

"Though utterly neglected on their first appearance, the Odn

of Collins, in the course of one generation, without any adventl-
tiouB aid to bring them Into notice, were acknowledged to be the
best of thetr kind in the langii.ige. Silently and imjierceptibly
they had risen by their own biioysnt-y ; and their power was relt iiy
every reader who had any poetic feeling.'' — SoirrasT.

Colman, George, 1733 r-1794, was the son of Thomas
Colman, British resident at the court of the Orand Duke of
Tuscany, at Pisa. George was bom at Florence, but placed
early in life at Westminster School, where be attraotsd at-
tention by his talents and application. He was elected to
Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1751, and took the degree
of M.A. in 1758. Upon coming to London he studied law,
and was entered of the Society of Lincoln's Inn; but poetry
and the drama were more congenial to his tastes, and Littte-
ton and Blackstone were soon abandoned. His first drama-
tic piece, Polly Honeycomb, was acted at Drury Lane in
1760, with great success ; and his reputation was increased
by The Jealous Wife, which appeared in the next year.
When quite young, he hod contributod some excellent pa-
pers to The ConnoiHsenr, and about 1761 he pub. many hu-
morous pieces in the St James's Chronicle, (of which he
was proprietor,) in which Bonnel Thornton, his old ally in
the Connoisseur, was also a writer. In 1761 Lord Bath,
a connexion^efl him a handsome annuity, which was in-

' creased by the demise of General Pnlteney (Lord Bath's

I Buceessor) in 1767. In 1764 he pub. a Trans, of the Come-

I dies of Terence, into familiar English blank Verse, 4to;

' and 1768, 2 vols. 8vo. This publication displayed nncom-
mon abilities.

{ *'A lietter translation cannot be expected; K Is such as Terence
deserved, and done by a man of almost eqoal oomto nowets wltlt
himself."— Da. A. Clakm.

In 1768 he became one of the proprietors of Covent-
Garden theatre, from which he soon retired, and subse-
quently conducted the Haymarket theatre. He wrote
pieces (the lipt of his productions includes 35) for the stage,

[ and trans, others n-om the French, In 1783 he pub. anew

to avoid his creditors. He next took up his residence at

Congreve, William, 1666-1729, an eminent drama-
tist, was a native of Bordsa, near Leeds, His father, an
olEcer in the army, stationed in Ireland, plaead him at
school at Kilkenny, fVom whence he waa removed to Tri-
nity College, Dublin. Returning to England, he entered
OS a student at the Middle Temple. Tory early in life he
pub. under the flclitioos name of Cleophil, a novel, entitled
Incognita, or Lore and Duty Reconciled. In his 21st
year his play of The Old Bachelor — written some years
before — was acted at Drury Lane, and proved eminently
snecesafbl. Lord Halifax gave a substantial proof of his
Approbation, by rewarding the triumphant author with a
commissionership for tbe licensing of coaches— a prelude to
future favours. Dryden commended the play as tlie best
first effort in that line which he had ever witnessed. Mrs.
Barry and Mrs. Bracegirdle, Mr. Betterton and Mr- Povel,
whose personal attractions and artistic excellence had bean
brought forward to such advantage by the new author,
were of course delighted, the andience waa equally charmed,
and in short tbe town was taken by storm. What a com-
mentary is this upon the morality of the generation of that
day ! That a piece which oonld not with propriety be read
aluud in the family circle should be hailed with applause
by the thousands who crowded the theatre I In 1684 Con-
greve produced The Double Dealer, which was less success-
ful than ita predecessor. Dryden disgraced himself — no new
thing for him — by most profane adulation of the author :

" Heaven, that but once waa prodigal beftire.
To Sbakspeare gave aa much, he could not give blm more."

Love for Love appeared in 1695, and The Mourning
Bride, a Tragedy, two yeara later. He subsequently pro-
duced the Comedy of The Way of the World, a Maaqno,
entitled 'The Judgment of Paris, and Semele, an Opera.
After suffering for years flrom bodily infirmity and blind-
ness, this thorough man of the world was summoned to
that account which none can escape. In 1710 he pub. a
collection of hla works in three vols. Svo; dedicated to
Lord Halifax. Between this and Baskerville'a impression,
1761, 3 vols. Svo, there were many edits. The last edit
was pub. by Mr. Moxon in 1849, r. Svo, edited by Leigh
Hunt. In our article upon Jeremy Collier, we have auli-
cipated much respecting Congrevc — his controversy with
Collier, the character of bis plays, Ac. — that we should
otherwise have found a place for here. We have already
Intimated that the fact of tbe popularity of such produc-
tions as the plays of Congreve, Wyoherley, and Farqnhar,
is a sulBcient index of the moral tone of the age. Perhaps
no English author has been lauded more by his contem-
poraries than William Congreve. We have already given
an exhibition of the fulsome adulation of Dryden, the
most distinguished literary man of his time. We may
instance another:

"Mr. CongreTe baa done me the Avonr to rerlew the ^nels,
and compare my verrinn witfa the original. I sfaall never be
ashamed to own that this excellent young man has abewed ma
many fliidta which I have endeavoured to correct."

Pope honoured him by the dedication of the XUad, and
better men than Pope so far forgot the tribute dne to vir-
tue, as to join in the general applanae which rewarded the
ohamplon of tbe moat shocking desoriptioBS of viae. W«

Conrad, Jndge Robert T., 1808-1853, a native of

the most eloquent orators and successful dramatic writers
of the United States. Judge Conrad's dramatic pieces —
Conrad of Naples, and Aylmere, or The Bondman of Kent
—evince the possession of poetical powers of no ordinary
cast. The latter, together with a number of minor poems,
was published in 1852, Phila., 12mo. Among the most
striking of the smaller pieces in this volume may be noticed
the Sonnets on the Lord'a Prayer, and Lines on a Blind
Boy Soliciting Charity by Playing on his Flute. Judge
Conrad's prose compositions possess merit* not inferior to
those which charm the readers of his poetry.

" Ai a citizen, a lawyer, and a Judge, Mr. Conrad obtained a
widely-extended and highly-meritod reputation. He was a brQ-
Itant orator, sparkling in diction, elossical In allusion, poetical In
Imagery, clear in narrative, rhetorical In style, genial in hnmanlsiog
thought, and eloquent In all. As a speaker, whatever sabject he
touched he undoubtedly adorned. On whatever platform be stood,
— whether on the arena of commerce, the fbrum of juntlce, the ex-
citing scene of politics, or the broad foundation of chat humanity
whfam emanates from the Creator,— Mr, Oonrad was Invariably a
successful and mostly a convincing speaker. It Is as a man of
letters, however, that Mr. Conrad will probably beet be known in
future years, lie did not write much ; but he wrote well." — Da. R.

Cooke, Thomas, 1702 7-1756, a native of Braintree,
Essex, a poet and man of learning. In 1725 he pub. a
poem entitled The Battle of the Poets, in wbioh Pope,
Swift, and others were treated with more freedom than
reverence. Bnt Cooke excited Pope's ire to a much higher
pitch by publishing in Tbe Daily Journal in 1727 a trans,
of the episode of Tbersites in the 2d book of tbe Iliad, to
show the blunders of Pope. For this exposure, and Cooke's
share in Penelope, a Farce, the reader already anticipates
the penalty. If Pope was not a Hellenist, he was an ex-
cellent satirist, and Mr. Cooke was at once placed in the
literary pillory yolep'd The Dunciad. In a subsequent
edit of The Battle of the Poets, Cooke notices this oon-
tomptible conduct of Pope, and speaks with little respeet
of his

1(21-1683, a distingttiahad polltieian, adneated at Exeter

cised a commanding influence upon the events of his time.
His intellectual character was much admired by John
Locke, who is supposed to have been indebted for the
groundwork of his celebrated essay on Toleration to an
outline drawn np by his lordship. A list of Speeches, Ao.
by this distinguished nobleman will be found in Park's
Walpole's R. and N. Authors.

" He canted tyranny under Cmmwdl, laauUaed It under Cfaartea
the Second, and disgraced the cauae of liDerty by twlog the busiest
Instrument ibr It, when every other party bad rejected hha." —

" Gharlefl the fleeond said to htm one day, * Shaftesbury, I beli«T«

Cooper ,Anthonr Ashler, third Earl of Shaftesbnnr,
1671-1713, grandson of the above, had his early studies in
part directed by John Locke, and was instructed in Latin
and Greek by a lady of the name of Birch, who spoke these
languages with ease and fluency. Under her care be be-
came no contemptible scholar when only 11 or 12 years of
ago, at which time he was placed at Winchester SchooL
I After travelling on the Continent, he entered Parliament,
I and his remarkable apology /or a tptech on High Treason
is still celebrated. In 1711 bo again visited the Continent,
I and died at Naples, Feb. 4, 1713. His Letter concerning
Enthusiasm appeared in 1708. The Moralist, a Philoso-
phioal Rhapsody, 1709. Sensns Communis, 1710. This
is " a recital of certain conversations on natural and moral
subjeets." Soliloquy, or Advice to an Author, 1710. Let-
ters written by a Noble Lord to a Young Man at the Uni-
versity, 1716. Letters to Robert Molesworth, Esq., 1716.
Judgment of Hercules. Letter eonceming Design. But
his most celebrated work was his Characteristics of Men,
Matters, Opinions, and Times, 1711-23, 3 vols. Svo, and in
1732. Many sentiments in the Characteristics are consi-
dered as unfavourable to Christianity.

" Mr. Pope told me, that, to his knowledge, the chamcteristica
had done more harm to Rereaied Religion in England than all the
works on Infidelity put leather." — Bishop Wakbubton.

This would seem to prove that his lordship found maaj
readers of as shallow perceptions as his own. His Inquiiy
concerning Virtue is highly oommended by Sir Jamas
Mackintosh, who does not admire his ordinary style ;

**0race belongs only to natural movementa; and Lord Fhaftes-
bury, notwithstanding the (Vequent beauty of his thoughts and
language, haa tarely attained It. ... He had great power of thought
and command over words. But he bad no talent Ibr Inventing
character, and bestowing 111b on it. The Inquiry concerning VIp.
tue Is nearly exempt from the Iknlty peculiarities of the author;
the method Is pernet. the reasoning just, the style precise and
dear."— iVeUH. Bimrt to Bne^ Brit.

Blair takes him to task for want of simplicity and ease:

** His iordahlp can eapieaa nothing with simplicity. He seenos
to have considered It as vulgar, and beneath the dignity of a man
of quality to speak like other men. Hence he la ever In buskins;
full of circumlocutions and artificial elegance. In every sentence

We must say that we prefer Au Characteristics to his

Zenophon's Cyropedia.

Cooper, Sir Astler Paston, Bart, 17(8-1841, son
of the Rev. Dr. Cooper, Rector of Telverton and Morley,
Norfolk, studied surgery under his ancle, William Cooper,
mrgeon to Quy's Hospital, and the celebrated Mr. Cline.
The latter assigned him a share in his anatomical lectares,
and Mr. Cooper's class rapidly increased from 50 to 400
itadents, the largest class ever known in London. In 1792
he risited Paris, and attended the lectures of Desanit at
the Hotel Dieu, and those of Chopart Returning to Lon-
don, he resided alternately in Jeffrey -Square, New Broad-
Street, and Kew- Street, Spring Oardens. His practice was
Teiy large, and in 1822 he realised the largest sum ever re-
ceived by a medical practitioner — £22,000. For some years
his receipts averaged £18,000 to £20,000. "He was made

The original ediL is entirely out of print Life of Sir
Astley P. Cooper, Dart, interspersed with sketches of dis-
tinguished characters, by [his nephew] B. B. Cooper, 1843,
2 vols. 8ro.

" 8ir Astley was principally dlsttnf;ulsbed as a bold operator, a
decided practitioner, and asa most Industrious and popular teacber.
Periiaps do man ever taught any branch of medlctne who possessed
more of this element of great success. Ills manners were of the
most engaging liind, while bis attention, urbanity, and regaitl for
his pupils, were of the most exemplary character." — Robert Dum-

DAS THOMBIJ.V, M.D.

Although a bold operator, as Dr. Thomson remarks. Sir
Astley seems to have been a very graceful one. Mr. Petti-
grew tells us :

"The light and elegant manner in which Sir. Astley employed
Us various instrnments always astonished me, and I could not
refrain fhmi making some remarlis upon It to my late master, Mr.
Chandler, one of the surgeons to St. Thomas's Hospital. I ob-
served to him that Sir Astley's operations appeared like the grace-
ful efforts of an artist In making a drawing. 5lr. C. replied, ' Pir,
it Is of no consequence what Instrument Mr. Cooper uaes : tiie^are
all alike to bim ; and I verily believe, lie could operate as easily
with an oystei^knllb, as the beat bit of cutlery in I^undy's abop.'"

On one occasion Sir Astley had a patient fi-om the
West Indies named Hyatt, who was a rather eccentrio
oharaoter, as the following anecdote testifies. After a
skilful operation by the surgeon, he desired to know the
amount of his debt

"■Two hundred guineas,' replied Astley. 'Pooh, pooh!' ex-
daimed the old gentleman, ' 1 slian't give you two hundred gul-
naas;— there— that is what I shall give you,' tossing oir his night-
cap, and throwing It to Sir Astley, ■ Thank you, sir,' said Sir A.,
'any thing from yon is acceptable.' and be put the cap into liis
pocket Lpon examination it was found to contain a choque for
a thooaand guineas."

We doubt not that the respected professors of the heal-
ing art would all be quite willing to prescribe "West In-
dia Night-Caps" to thoirpationts.

Cooper, James Fenimore, 1789-1851, a distin-
guished American author, was a son of Judge William
Cooper, a native of Pennsylvania, whose ancestors had
been settled in the United States since 1679. The subject
of onr notice was bom at Bnrlinglon, New Jersey, on the
15th of September. He entered Yale College in 1802, and
for the three years of bis residence there applied himself
diligently to his studies. In 1805 be obtained a midship,
man's warrant in the U. S. Navy, and followed the life of
a sailor for six years. How apt a scholar he became in
this arduous school may be jndged from the technical accu-
racy which distinguishes his marine sketches. In 1811
he resigned f^m the navy, and was married to Miss De
Lancey, a sister of the estimable Bishop De Lancey of
Western New York. Mr. Cooper's first volume was en-
titled Precaution, a novel of the English "fashionable
society" school, with few indications of the remarkable
powers of description and eloquence of narration which its
snoeessors evinoed. He next pub. The Spy, a tale of the
Neutral Ground, founded upon incidents connected with
the American Revolution. The theme was one too closely
connected with the sympathies of his oonntrymen to appesl
in vain to their attention. The critic of the leading pe-
riodical of the country, in a review not in all respects the
most flattering to the young author, compliments him

" ror having demonstrated so entirely to our Eatiatkotion, that

who hu deserred the appollmtion of a dtfttlngnlfhed Amorican
Duvfl writer." — A' Ameriom Xenutw, xv. aSl.

The popularity of The Spy wm not confined to Ame-
rica. It waa soon republiahed in many parta of Europe,
and the reputation of the author waa confirmed abroad as
well u at home by the appearance of The Pioneers and The
, Pilot in 182.^, and the Last of the Mohicans in 1826. Be-
tween the two laat works was pub. a novel (Lionel Lincoln)
founded upon the early revolutionary troubles in America,
which never succeeded in gaining the popular favour.

About 1827 Mr. Cooper v&ilad Kurope, and whilst abroad,
gave to the world a succession of works of various ^ades
of merit, of which a eritieal examination will not bo ex-
pected in the limited space to which we are confined.
The first of the works pnb. in Europe was The Prairie,
one of the very best of his productions — which was suc-
ceeded by The Ked Rover, The Wept of ■Wish-ton-WiBh,
The Water-Witch, The Bravo, The Heidenmauer. and The
Headsman of Berne. He also pub. a vindication of the
land of his birth ft-om many cnrrent misrepresentations:
doubtless the Notions of the Americans did much to cor-
rect error and abate pr^udices among candid foreigners.

But if Mr. Cooper was ready to defend his country when
unjustly eritioised, he was quite as willing to censure those
fikcjta to which he perceived a growing proclivity among
some of her most prominent sons. We have no disposition
to dwell upon family quarrels, and if we enumerate The
Letter to his Countrymen, and The Monikins, a political
satire, among Mr. Cooper's works, it is with no desire to
revive controversy, but only to act the part of a faithful
chronicler. To the last-named work succeeded the Glean-
ings in Burope : the Sketches of Switzerland, and the
works on Franco, Italy, and England, the series compris-
ing 10 volumes, excited much attention both at home and
abroad. England, with Sketches of Society in the Metro-
polis, aroused in no small degree the ire of the London
Quarterly Reviewer, who declares, not in the most cour-
teous style imaginable, that

"go m-written—lll-lnlbrmed — Ill-bred— Ill-tempered, and Ill-
mannered a production It has never yet been our Ibrtune to meet-
. . . We mniit say In justice to every thing Amerirau thAt ve have
happened to meet, either In literature or In noclety, that we never
met such a phenomenon of vanity, folly, and bble, m this book
exhlhlta — we say ftble, because (whatever may be Mr. Cooper's In-
tentions) bis Ignorance and presumption betray blm at every mo-
ment into misstatements ao gross, and sometimes so elaborate, as
to have all the appeaiance aiid effect of absolute &lsehQ0d."

The critic indignantly denies Mr. Cooper's assertion that
"the Quarterly Review waa the organ of a national anti-
pathy to America." It is hardly worth while to linger
over saeh civilities, and we proceed to notice Mr. Cooper's
other productions.

The American Democrat, or Hints on the Social and
Civil Relations of the Cnited States, appeared in 18:i5.
Three years later Mr. Cooper gave to the world a work of
a more elaborate eharacter ^an its predecessor*. This
-was a History of the Navy of the United States, Phila.,
1838; 2d ed., Phila., 1840; 3d ed., Coopcrstown, 1846;
reprinted in London, Paris, and Brussels. A new ed., with
a continuation, 181&-53, in a supplement of 100 pages
from Mr. Cooper's MSB. and other authorities, was pub.
in 18i3.

" The work of an unsurpassed writer; It Is so full of Interest,
and so atmunds In the most vivid Illustrations of American pa-
triotism, enterprise, and courage, that It cannot be too widely circu-
lated."— Oeobob Baxckopt.

" Mr. Cooper appears to be fiilr, and unwarped by national pr^n-
dlce In these recorxls." — X.on. LtUtrwry Oaze/te.

" We have perused this history with no little curiosity and with
great Interest." — Britith Ii/atal and Jlib'Uury Moffamu,

** These volumes are filled with the graphic records of daring
adventure, and contain. In their nai ration of mere bctK, a treasure
to the lovers of sea-romance. The name of Somers is a household
word In America; and the desperate enterprlfie In which tie and
his companions perished. Is narrated In this work with an extra-
ordinary effect." — Len. AtAnmtm.

**Tbls Is a very valuable addition to naval history. Mr. Cooper
has used a commendable diligence In searching out whatever bets
the early history of America affords, Illustrative of the orlfrln and
growth of tier national navy, and has dressed them out In a Ibnn
as attractive as poestble."— JV*. jiMcr. Beview,

Commendation, however, was not the only response with
which the labours of the author were greeted. The ac-
cotint of the Battle of Lake Erie was not sufiered to escape
without on earnest protest from several critics ; and Mr. C.
Mt called upon to notice these strictures, in a volume puK
in 1842, entitled The Battle of Lake Erie, or answers to
Messrs. Burgess, Buer, and Mackenzie. A fitting compa-
nion to his history is the author's Lives of American Naval
OlEcers, in 2 vols. The novels of Homeward Bound and
Home 08 Found also excited no little animadversion — the
charge of misrepresentation being warmly urged against

the author. To these succeeded The Pathfinder, Mercedea
of Castile, The Deer-Slayer, The Two Admirals, Wing and
Wing, or Lo Feu Foilet, Wyandotte, or the llulted Knoll,
the Autobiography of a Pocket Handkerchief, Nod Myers,
Ashore and Afloat, Miles Wallingford, The Little-page
series, including, 1. Satanstoe, 1845, 2. Chainbearer, 1846,
3. The Red Skins, 1846. Among the last of his pub-
lications were the Islets of the Qulf, pub. in Graham's
Magazine, 1846, and the Ways of the Hour, pub. in 18iO.
A complete edition, carefully revised, of the works of Hr.
Cooper, in 34 vols., was, very opportunely, published in
185S by Messrs. Stringer & Townsond, of Now York. An
interesting sketch of the literary history of the great Ame-
rican novelist, to which we have been indebted for some
of the above facts, will be found in R. W. Griswold's Prose
Writers of America. We have lying before us many critical
opinions from high literary authorities, upon the merits and
demerits of Mr. Cooper's productions. Our space, however,
restricts us to a few extracts. Indeed, works which have been
translated into so many languages, and are in continual
demand with each new generation of readers, ore them*
selves the best evidence of their author's tact in the se-
lection, and ability in the treatment, of the subjects upon
which he employed his pen. It is but a slight deduction
from the merits of so excellent a writer, to wish that upon
some subjects he had written less, and upon others not at
all. But it ill becomes those who share in the glory which
the lustre of his name has shed upon the literary annals of
his country, to quarrel with those eccentricities from which
genius is bnt rarely free, and those occasional ebullitioni
which are the more remarked on account of the prominent
position of the olTender. Nothing is more easy than the
condemnation with which the indifierent spectator visits
the heated controversialist, and nothing more common than
the transformation which mokes him liable to his own cen-
sure. The proper inference to be drawn hence is, not that
Truth should remain silent, and permit transgression to
pass nnrehuked, but rather that Charity should bo ever at
her aide oa a remembrancer of human infirmity, and man'a
many provocations and sore trials.

But we are occupying with our reflections the space
which should be allotted to those who have better claims
to be heard :

" The same sort of magical authority over the spirit of romance,
which belongs In common to Bcott, Radcllffe. Walpole, and our
countryman. Brown, Is, for us, at least, possessed by this writer In
an eminent degree. Places, for example, flimlliar to us from our
boyhood, and which are now dally before our eyoa, thronged with
the vulgpsr associations of real life, are boldly seized upon for scene*
of the wildest romance ; and yet our Imagluation docs not revolt
at the Ineongrnlty. . . . This seems to us no inconsiderable proof
of the power of the writer over us and Us sutjeet"— A". A. Umitu,
xxllL 162.

The critic, however, charges the author vrith many grave
faults and signal failures in the delineation of character
and manners; and it is somewhat remarkable that some of
the most prominent critics among Mr. Cooper's own coun-
trymen seem from the first to have been utterly unable to
discover in our author those merits which have been 80
lavishly ascribed to him by others. There are occasionally,
indeed, words of commendation, but they ore scarcely dis-
cernible amidst pajet of broad and unsparing censure.
Whether just or otherwise in these abundant strictures, it
is not in our province to determine. Certain it is, that if
the author of The Spy and the Pilot could in his latter
years claim to hare been among the most roluminou*
writers of his day, the critics are not chargeable with the
birth of so numerous a literary progeny. In bis earlier
days he received, indeed, many invitations to continue his
walks in the realm of Romance, but the awkwardly -afi'ected
courtesy scarcely concealed the intentions of the lion which
would persuade the lamb to leave the fold for the benefit
of a summer day's excursion.

Abroad, the great American novelist has not escaped
censure — we have already quoted something that can
hardly bo called compliment from the Quarterly Reviewers ;
but his distinguishing merits have been frankly acknow-
ledged, Victor Hugo goes much further than Cooper^a
intelligent countrymen are willing to follow, when he
places the author of The Spy above the " Wizard of the
North."

A more discriminating English critic has recorded hi*
judgment, that

"The power with which the scenes on the wsste of waters are
depleted, and the living lntci«!t with which Cooper Invests every
paKlcle of a ship, as If it were nil an Intelligent being, cannot be
excelled, and has never been reached by any author with whom
we are acquainted. For these qualities his novels will live with the
lanjniafre. fbr we may look In vain elsewhere for pictures so vivid,
so lailMul, and so lntelll;i;lble."

against Bishop Warburton. ne bishop thus returns the
compliment in a note on an Essay on Criticism:

"As Ignorance, when Joined with hiunility, prodaoes stapfdsd-
mliatlon, on which account It Is so commonly observed to be the
mother of devotion, and blind homage; ao when joliied with
vanity (ai It always is In bad criUe*) It gives birth to every Iniqntty

better) In a late worthless and now Ibigotten thing, called Ths Life

hearing, it at the lame time subjected her eompositioDi t*
a trying ordeal. Having encountered with honour so se-

Cooper does not pretend that the work is an original one.
It was a great favourite with Queen Elisabeth, and waa
the cause of Cooper's preferments. It contains many quo-
tations of early English, and is undoubtedly a philologi-
cal curiosity. Brief Expositions of such chapters of the

There is some doubt as to the anthorsbip of this treatise.

Cooper was less happy in his domestic relations than his
merits deserved.

There was a story enrrent that his wife, fearing lest he
should hill himself with stndy, bnmt all the notes which
her husband had for eight years been industriously collect-
ing for the compilation of his dictionary. But his wife
gave palpable evidence that she cared very little either for
her husband's comfort or reputation.

more than half of which were acoompUshed in one pair of I
shoes, which were only once mended, and on bis return
were hung up in the church of Odcombe. Of this trip he

Well had it been for Byron had he been as good a man
as " Boeotian Cottle." He may hare been a bad poet, but
he waa — that rarer character — a good friend. To both
Coleridge and Southey he extended the hand of kindness,
when kindness was the most needed ;

might be aald the world owed them to you. Had it not bean for
you, none perhaps of them would have been published, and aome

had no ether. . . . Sore I am, there never waa a more generoua or
a kinder heart than yours; and yon will believe me when I add

In the letter quoted above, (the reader must devour the
whole of itj see Southey's Life and Correspondence,)
Southey, to his lasting honour, tells bis friend,

" You are In tbe habit of preserving your letters, and If yon
were not I would entreat yon to preserve thla, that It might be
seen hereafter."

The reader will now understand that oar transcriptions
have been made from a sense of duty (accompanied with
much pleasure) to both writer and recipient

In the same generous spirit he writes to John May :

" Ton ought to become acquainted with my old Mend Joseph
(Jottle, the best-hearted of men. . . . Become acquainted with one
who baa a larger portion of original goodness than Iklla to the lot
of most men.''— *pt 16, 1827.

became in his 28th year minister of Boston in Lincoln-

emigrated to Boston, Mass., and spent the rest of his days
in America. He was eminent for profound learning and
devoted piety. He pub. many theological works, the most
celebrated of which were in defence of the interference of
the civil power in support of the tmth. In this position
he found a powerfhl antagonist in Roger WilUams. Cot-

Cotton, Sir Robert Brace, 1570-1631, an emi-
nent antiquary, a native of Denton, Huntingdonshire, but
a descendant of Rotwrt Bmoe, was ednoated at Trinity
College, Cambridge. He was created a knight upon the
1 accession of Jnmes I., and was highly esteemed by the
king and principal statesmen, who often solicited his ad-
vice. In ] 629 ho was arrested and confined in the Tower,
in consequence of a manuscript, which proposed a plan by
which the king could enslave his subjects, being traoed to
his library. It was the production of Sir Robert Dudley,
and Sir Robert Cotton seems to have been nnoonscions even
of its possession. Upon his innocence being made ap-
parent, he was released, and his liliorty restored to him.
This was a severe blow to the excellent man, and he never
regained his strength of body or cheerfulness of mind.

" When 1 went several times to visit and oomfcrt him In theyav
1630, be would tell me ■ they had broken his heart that had locked
up his library from him.' He was so outworn, within a few months,
with anguish and grle^ as his &ce, which had been formerly ruddy
and well coloured, (such as the picture I have of him shows,) was
wholly changed Into a grim blackish palene«a, near to the reaam-
bUnce and hne of a dead visage.'' — Sir SvHOKoe D'Ewxs.

He died of a fever at Westminster in the next year.
His noble libraiy, the fruit of many years' collections, re-
ceived augmentations from his son and grandson, and was
deposited in the British Museum in 1763. It had sulTercd
severely from a fire in 1731. Its inestimable value is toe
well known to require any enlargement upon the subject
Sir Robert wrote many historic^, antiquarian, and poli-
tical treatises. For a particular account of them, see re-
ferences below. We notice a few : Life and Ri^gne of
Henry IIL of England, 1627, 4to. A Treatise against

The Chaneter of a Trimmer has been reprinted by Don-

Coverdale, Miles, 1487-1568, a native of Yorkshire^
was educated at the house of the Augustine friars at Cam-
bridge. He became an Augustiue monk, and was ordained
at Norwich in 1514. He afterwards embraced the princi-
ples of the Reformation, and was one of its most lealous
promoters. In 1532 he was abroad, and assisted Tyndal*
in his trans, of the Bible. In 1535, fol., appeared his own
trans, of the Scriptures, being the first impression of the
whole Bible in English. An account of this version, and
the sources fVom which it is drawn, will be found in Mr.
Whittaker's Inquiry into the Interpretations of the Scrip-
tures, and a bibliographical account of the original edit
is prefixed to a reprint in 1838, 4to. Mr. Lowndes could
only discover one perfect copy. One nearly perfect is in
the British Museum. A copy with the title and two fol-
lowing leaves in facsimile was sold at auction for £89 5s.
In 1538 a quarto New Testament in the Vulgate Latin, and
Coverd^le's English was pub. So anxious was he to dis-
seminate a knowledge of the word of Qod, that in the same
year he again visited the Continent, to superintend a new
edit of the Bible, as it could be printed oheaper and better
in Paris. 2500 copies were struck off, when the Inquisi-
tion interfered, and committed them to the flames. Tfae
presses, types, and printers were transfen'od to England,
and in 1539 Cranmer's, or the Great Bible, was i'ssued from
the office of Grafton and Whitchurch. For many yean
Coverdale now enjoyed the opportunity of labouring for
the spiritual enlightenment of his countrymen. As a
preacher he was in high esteem with the people; his value
was recognised by those in authority, also; and in 1551
he was raised to the see of Exeter. Upon the accession
of Mary, in 1553, he was deprived of his bishopric, cast
into prison, and confined for two years. When released,
he visited the Continent, where he remained until Elisa-
beth became Queen of England. Coverdale now returned
to England, and brought home some notions of the Geneva
school with regard to vestments, which were not calculated
to recommend him to preferment. Bishop Orindal, who
ineffectually endeavoured to aid him at court, collated him
to the rectory of St. Magnus, near old London Bridge,
which he retained nntil 1556, shortly before his death.
His publications wore chiefly translations from the
writings of the foreign Reformers. A list, taken princi-
pally from Ames and Herbert, will b« found in Chalmers's
Biog. Diet., and in Watt's Bibl. Brit. Of his Letters of
the Martyrs, 1564, a new ediL was pub. by Rev. E. Biek-

Cowley, Abraham, M.D., 1618-1667, a poet of great
ensinenee, was a native of London, where his fhther was n
grocer. His taste for poetry was awakened by a perusal
of the poems of Spenser, which he had devoured with
great seat before he was 12 years of age. When only three
years older, being then at Westminster School, be pub. a
volume of poems, containing, with other pieces, the tragi-
cal History of Pyramns and Thisbe, written at the age of
ten, and Constontia and Philetus, composed two years
later. This volume was entitled Poetical Blossoms.

*' In which there were nuiny thiu^rs that might well become tbe
vigour and force of a manly wit" — Da. SpaAT.

In 1636 he was removed to Trinity College, Cambridge,
where he continued his poetical purniits. £> 1638 he pub.

his Love's Riddle, a pastoral comedy, and a Latin comedy,
called Naufragium Jooulare, or the Merry Shipwreck.

" Written without due attention to the ancient models; fbr It la
not loose verse, but mere proee."

In 1643 be was, with others, ejected from Cambridge by
parliamentary influence, and retired to St John's College,
Oxford. In the same year he pub. a satire entitled. The
Puritan and the Papist Whilst referring to bis residence
at Oxford, it may be proper to state by anticipation, that
in 1657 the university granted him the degree of M.D.,
but he never practised as a physician. His loyalty and
wit recommended him to tbe favourable notice of the court,
and when Oxford woe surrendered to the Parliament,
Cowley attended the queen to Paris, where he was secre-
tary to the Earl of St Alban's, and agent of correspond-
ence, by means of cypher, between Charles I. and his con-
sort He remained abroad between 10 and 12 years, and
in various ways was senlously devoted to the royal inte-
rests, which fidelity excited no unreasonable expectations
of reward at the Restoration. The profligate Charles,
however, like most profligates, was too fond of his own
case to care for the comfort of others, and valued the last
pleasure above the first friend. A real or pretended offence
at his comedy — The Cutter of Coleman Street — a new
edition of his old play of The Guardian — afforded an ex.
cuse to the court party for neglecting his claims upon the
royal favour. The disappointed poet, after an nnsuccess-
fu! " Complaint" (in an ode so called) of this ingratitude
— in which he declared that his desire was " to retire to
some of the American plantations, and forsake the world
forever" — concluded to retire to a plantation nearer
home, and took up his residence first at Bam Elms, and
subsequently at Chertsey. He found a country life more
delightful in anticipation than in reality : his country neigh-
bours were as debauched in their morals as the roysters
of London, his tenants refused to pay him bis rents, and
his gross was devoured at night by strange cattle quartered
upon the Loudon gentleman by the innocent rustics whose
guileless simplicity and honest virtues have so often in-
spired the poetic muse. After a residence at Chertsey of
about two years, he caught a seven cold, attended with a
fever, which proved fatal July 28, 1667, in his 49th year.
Sprat's accouut of the circumstances connected with his
last days differs from that in Spence's Anecdotes, but this
is a point in which minute accuracy is not always to be
expected. Sprat certainly had the best means of knowing
tbe truth. When tbe ungrateful king heard of bis death,
he declared that " he had not left a better man behind
him;" but

" can Flattery sooths tbe dull cold ear of Death!"
We return to his works. In 1647 he pub. his Mistress,
remarking in his preface, that

** Poets are scarcely thoufrht IVeemen of their company, without
paying some duties, or obliging themselves to be true, to Love."

Upon his return to England, in 1656, he pub. a new edit
of all his poems, consisting of four parts; vis.: 1. Mis-
cellanies. 2. The Mistress; or Love Verses. 3. Pindaric
Odes. 4. Davideis ; a Heroical Poem of the Troubles of
David. In 1660 appeared An Ode upon the Blessed Re-
storation of King Charles II. This title reminds us forci-
bly of Barrow's admirable Epigram ;

<* Te megls optavlt redltumm, Carole, nemo,

£t nomo senslt te redlisse minusi"
** Thy restoration, royal Charles, I see,
By none mote wished, by none less felt than xoel"
In 1661 he pub. his Proposition for the Advancement
of Experimental Philosophy. Whilst in England be wrote
his two Books of Plants, pub. first in 1662. To these he
afterwards added four more boohs, and all the six, together
with his other Latin poems, were printed in 1678, Svo,
after his death, under tbe title of Poemata Latina, vis. :

which has since been constructed the present correct and admlrsr
Ue flibric of our language. His words are pure and well choeen,
the eollooatlon simple and perspicuous, and the members of his

Bead the Esaays "Of Mysdf," « Poetry and Poets,"
Mid " Of Procrastination." The "Vision of Oliver Crom-
well" may also be mentioned ai a noble specimen of »
dignified yet graoeful style :

*' Cowley's character of Oliver Cromwell, which is Intended as a
satire, (though It certainly produces a very diffsrent Impression on
the mind,) may vie for truth of outline and Ibrce of colouring with
the maaterpiaeaa of the Oreek and Latin Idstorians."— Haujtt.

Of his poetical piaees, the general favourites will be found
among the Anacreonties and the Hisoellanies. The lines
en the death of Harvey, and the Elegy on Crashaw, the
Ode on Wit, the Chronicle, and the verses to Davenant,
have been greatly admired. The wit by which Cowley
was so highly distingnished is of a character which pos-
■esses but little charms save for the poet's own generation.
But by that generation, and for some years after his death,
he was lauded to a degree which appears to modem readers
▼ery extravagant.

" These timea have produced many excellent posts, among whom,
S>r strength of wit. Dr. Abraham Ooolsy [Cowley] Justly bears the
bell."— JVwiB BaxUr'i Prefatory Mdrtu U hit Puiiml PmgnutiU,

"Clarendon repreaents him as having taken a flight beyond all
that went belbre him; and Hilton is said to hare declared, that
the three greataat Kngllah poeta were Spenser, Slskspeare, and
Oowler. ... It has been observed by falton, In his Eaaay on the
Clasales, that Cowley was beloved by eveqi M use that he courted ;
and that he has rivalled the Andenta In every kind of poetrv but
Tragedy."

Even In Pope's days, how sadly waa the once great
Cowley neglected I

" Who now reads Cowley ! If be pleases yet.
Ills moral pleases, not his pointed wit:
Forgot his epic, nay, Pindaric art.
But still I lore the language of his heart."

Charles Lamb, in a Letter to Coleridge, refers to the
ceneral neglect of the accomplished anther of Poetical
Blossomes :

" In all our comparisons of taste, I do not know whether I liave
ever heard your opiukin of a poet veiy dear to ma, though now out
of ftahion— ^Towley."

The reader will find an admirable criticism upon the
works of this once famous author, in Dr. Johnson's Lives
Of the English Poets, an extract ttom which may appro-
priately conclude our article :

"It may be alllrmed, without any encomiastic fervour, tliat be
brought to his poetic labours a mind replete with learning, and
that his pageaareembelllahed wlthall the omameftta which books
eonid supply ; that he was the firat who Imparted to Kngllsh
numbers the entbuslaam of the greater ode, and the gayety of the
Vm ; that he was equally qnallfied fcr sprightly nllies and Ibr
lofty flights ; that he was among tboee who ftwd translation from
servility, and, instead of following his author at a distance, walked
by Ids side; and that. If he left verslUcation jet Improvabls, he
left likewise, fh>m time to time, such specimens of excellence as
enabled succeeding poets to Improre it."

two jttn in the bonw of • fomsia oenliit of nwtt rapn-
tation. When ten yaan of age he waa aent to W eatmiustor
Bohool, where he remained for seven years, tearing with a
eharacter for scholarship, especially in the classics. The
timid, sensitive character of the poet was but little suited
for the rude conflicts to which school-boys are often sub-
jected, and a portion of this season of life was embittered
to Cowper by a tyranny npon the part of a senior scholar
of the moat intolerable ebaraotor. Having seleeted the
profession of the law, Cowper was now articled for three
years to a Mr. Chapman, a solicitor of some eminence.
How assidnoosly he devoted himself to Blaokstone, and
vith what pleasing thraldom he submitted to the tonnres
of Coke, may be gathered tnm the following honest eon-
fbasion to his cousin, Lady Hesketh :

** I did aetnallj live three yean with Mr. Chapman, a solicitor;
Oat is to say, I slept three yean In bb boose; but I lived, that Is
to My, 1 spent my days, In Soothampton Kow, as yon vaiT wdl
mnember. There was I, and the ftitwv Lord Chancellor, (Thar-
low,) constantly emplOTed ftom morning till night In giggling and
making giggle. Instead of studying law.*^

With sneh an apprenticeship, wo need not be rarprised
{hat, when at the age of 21 be took possession of a set of
ehambera in the Temple, he neither sought business, nor
busineas sought him. It was at this early period of hia lif«
that we flrat find strongly-marked indicaUons of that ter-
rible mental malady, vrhioh to a greater or Iws degrae held
its victim all his lifetime "subject to bondage" of the most
fearfol and tormenting oharactor. tTpon this extremaly
painful subject tint little can be said'^bnt little can be ex-
pected— in Uie brief limits to vbieb we are confined. We
must, however, be allowed to enter ovr most decided pro-
test against the strange misapprehension — grounded upon
a deplorable ignorance both of the effects of religion, and
of the mental characteristies of Cowper — that the derange-
ment of this gUtod man was either originated, developed,
or increased, by theological truths or theological crrots.

The contrary to this has been often asserted and denied
at great length, and tnily, we marvel as much at the nn-
necessaiy prolixity of those who adopt and support the
Begalire, as we wonder at the obtuseness of those, who,
professing a knowledge of Cowper's mental history, stereo-
type their simplicity or dishonesty, by charging religion
with the unhappy gloom which enshrouds the halo of one
of the brightest suns of England's literary firmament.
Why should apologtste waste the elaboration of argument
and fervours of eloquence upon a cause which unadorned
ehronology can settle in a few lines decisively and forever ?
If we cannot take Cowper's own testimony, we know not
whose shoold be admitted, for "What man knoweth the
things of a man save the spirit of a man ?"

We assert then, first, that Cowper's derangement was not
in the most remote degree to be attributed to religions im-
pressions of any kind, true or erroneous.

We assert, secondly, that nothing bat the soothing, re-
straining, and purifying influences of religion stood for
forty years between William Cowper and the madman's
eell, or the suicide's grave. In support of these assertions,
we appeal to the whole mental history of the nnhappy
poet, to bis own experience, and to the testimony of those
true friends whose unwearied kindness mitigated his suffer-
ings, ministered to his necessities, augmented his comforts,
and smoothed his dying pillow. Before leaving this sub-
ject, however, we will adduce one or two facts of simple
efaroaology, which may correct the misapprehensions of
■ome who laek time for the examination of the voluminous
testimony to which we have appealed.

Cowper informs us that in his earlier years (and long
■fler) be was entirely ignorant of any experience of a re-
ligions character, and even neglectful of the ordinary duties
of prayer and attondaaee npon publio worship. Whilst a
student of law, he never attended chnroh, unless when
Tisiting at his ancle's :

•• By this assans I bad indeed an opportnnlty of Bssinc the tnsids
«r a etannh, wliittaar I vent with tba ftmily on Sandaya, which
peobaUy I dHmid etberwlse never have seen."— Ja<oMiyrap*y.

It was whilst thos utterly nnforgetflil of his Creator,
that

'I wot truA, mat long a/Ur mj tttOrmmt in Ou TemjUt, trith

At this tine he was about 21 years of age. Undoubtedly
ibis was the commencement of the development of oop-
stitntional insanity. Blevon yeart later he tells us,

"To this moment I lad Mt no concern of a spiritual kind. Tgno-
mat or original lin, insensible oftbs inillt of actual tranagnsiSon,
I nndentocd ndtlwr the lav nor the gospel; tba condemning
■etnreof the cma, nor the restoring mercies of the other. I vss as

veil as its atroei^, vers exhibited to mo In colours so Ineoncelva.

agined or expressed, for having attempted it" — Itrid.

We have assarted that nligion alone stood between the
nnharoy man and the grave of the suicide : can we make
onr affimation good 1 Cowper proceeds as follows :

" TMt taut qfU secured mt/ram Ae rvefiKm ^ a erimt, tohkk

** His residence at the Temple extended throngh eleven years.
In 1763 — the last year of that residence — the ofAcoe of the Clerk of
ttie Jonrnals, Heading Clerk, and Clerk of the Committees in the
Uoose of Lords, — all which ofllcoe were at the disposal of a cousin
of Cowper's, — became vacant about the same time. The last two
were conferred on Covrper. Ills patrimony was by thiii time well-
nigh spent, and tlio gift was therefore so mr acoeptable. Bat the
dutiea attached to Uie offlces of reading^erk and clerk of the ooai»
mittees were duties which required thst he ebonld frequently ap-
pear tMfore the House of Lords; and to him, who sufforud from ex-
treme nervousness, a public exhibition of any kind vas, as hs
himself expresses It, * mortal poison.* He, therefore, almost imme-
diately after having accepted them, resigned those offlces and took
that of clerk of the Joaruals. But here, sgain, his cousin's right
of nomination having been questioned, Cowper was nnexpoctediy
required to submit mmself to an exainlnation at the bar of the
House tiefore being allowed to taks the offlce. Thns the evil from
which he seemed to have escaped again met him. *A thunder^
bolt,* he writes, in his memoir of luraself^ 'would have been as
welcome to me as this intelligence. . i . To require my attendance
at tbe bar of the House, that I might there pnbUoiy entitle myself
to the olBce, was In eflbct to exclude me from it. In tbe mean
time, the interest of my friend, the honour of his choice, my own
reputation and clrcnmstancos, all urged me forward, all pressed
me to undertake that which I saw to be Impracticable.* Unceasing
was the anguish which he now suffered. He even looked Ifarvara
anxiously to the oomlug of Insanity,— a constitutional tepdsBor to
which had manifested Itself some years belbre, — that he migbt
have a reason for thruwiug up the offlce; anfl, when the dreaded
day drew near and he found himself stUl in possession of his
senses, he deteruinod on the commission of suicide. His many
attempts to destroy himself all fldled of snceess, oving, as he
pleased to explain It In bis memoir, to direct interpceitfcnis of Pro-
vidence. The office vas ultimately reaigiied npon tlie very day
appointed for the examination, and shortly afterwards be became
inasne. He was Immediately placed under the care of Dr. Ootton,
at 8t. Alban's, with whom he stayed until his reooverr, which took
place aboot eighteen monttis after, in June, 1766." — KmffhPt Atg.

He settled at Huntingdon, whore bo formed an acqnaint-
anoe with the Rev. Mr. and Mis. Unwin, who proved the
kindest of friends. He became an inmate of their man-
sion; and, npon the death of Mr. Unwin in 1767, he
removed with his widow to Olney, the residence of the
Rev. John Newton, who also became an attached and
valuable friend. The valne of the Judieions ministrations
of vigilant affection in oases of mental disorder cannot
be too highly estimated. A derangement of a com-
paratively trifling character may be tortated to madness
or soothed to a repose which precedes restoration, accord-
ing to the course of treatment to which the sufferer shall
be sabjeotad. How weighty, then, the responsibility which
devolves upon those to whom the guardianship of the
afflicted appertains ! For abont eight years Cowper's men-
tal health was but little affected; but in 177S the clouds
again settled over his mind, and for a period of ten years
it was more or less enveloped in darkness. In 1784 ha
was again a victim to this horrid malady ; snd the death
of Mrs. Unwin in I7i)<l — so long his faithflil and derotsd
nurse — added to his deep despondency. He gased npon
her lifeless form, left the chamber of death, and was never
afterwards once heard to ntter her name. In January,
1800, he betrayed alarming symptoms of deelining healui,
and, on the 26lh of April fbllowing, his troubles wen
ended by a change ftom a world in which he had so long
itad so acutely sulbred to the presence of that almighty
Being whom he had humbly served with the best offerings
of which a nertnrhed spirit and distracted mind were
capable. All that enlightoned human sympathy and da-

pricol^sa offices of love, such unwearied, self-eacriflcing
devotion, can never be forgotten: tbe names of Unwin,
Hesketb, Anaten, Johnson, Hayley, and Rose, must be
closely connected with tbe memory of William Cowper, so
long as the noblest qualities which adorn humanity are
viUued among men. Having thus taken a rapid view of
the character of the man, we now proceed to a brief con-
sideration of the author.

Few men who commenced autiborship at so late a period
of life have attained so large a measure of popularity in
their lifetime. When Cowper's first volume was given to
the world, ho bad seen more than fifty years. He lacked,
therefore, what had been considered almost indispensable
to the character of a poet — inexperience of the world, and
that freshness of feeling and fervour of thought which are
supposed bo accompany the earlier stages of life. The
Bubjeots, too, of his first volume, (1782, 8vo,) wore of too
didactic a character to arouse or gratify public curiosity
or literary interest. But litUe to charm the imagination,
or delight the fancy, could be expected iVom the discussion
of The Progress of Brror, Truth, Table Talk, Kxpostula.
tiott, Hope, Charity, Ae. It was evident, indeed, that
"Wisdom had prepared her Feast and uttered her Voice,"
but until the nature of man changes, she must continue to
** lift up her voice in tbe streets, and cry in the chief places
of concourse," ere she can gather around her the very few
who prefer instruction to amusement, and moral improve-
ment to mental dissipntion.

But the applause of a few sages was more valuable than
the indifference of the children of the world; and Cowper
was more delighted at having pleased Johnson and Frank-
lin, than he would have been with tbe applause of Holland
House, and the adulation of half the faKhionable assem-
blies of London. Mr. Hayley gires us his own opinion
of the merits of the volume in these words :

** It exhibits Ruch a diversity of poetical powers as have been
riven very r»relT ladeed to any IndlTldual of tbe modem or d
ue ancient worul."

By the influence of Lady Austen, who had previously
elicited tbe famous ballad of John Gilpin, Cowper was
induced to commence a new poem — The Task, which was
pub. in 1786. Its success was immediate, and almost un-
bounded. There were few, however opposed in their tastes,
who could not find something to charm them in the many
pleasing pictures and graphic sketches presented in this
volume.

**Tbe Task Is a poem of such Infinite variety, that It seeaii to
include erery aulyect, and every style, without any dlsHonance or
disorder; and to have flowed, without effort, from inspired philan-
thropy, easier to impress upon the hearta of all readers whatever
may lead Uiem most happily to the full et^oymant of human life,
and to tbe final attainment of Hearen." — IlArLnr.

*^It Is Imposrible to describe this fine poem better than by ny-
Ing that it treats, in a masterly way, of all tbnt afTects us here, or
Influences us hereafter; that it pleads the cause of the poor and
the desolate In the presence of tbe rich; admonishes tht* rif*h of
their duty to their country, their cotters, and theirOod; takes the
senate to task; shakes the scourge of undyinji: Terse over tbe
pulpit ; holds a mirror beforo the profl iiracy of cities till they shud-
der at their own shadow, and exhibits to the hills and dales of
the country, an image of the follies of their sons and daughters."
— Au.\N CrrcxixoHAii: Biog. and Crit. Ilitt. qf LiL

** Of all the Ternes that have been ever devoted to the subject of
domestic happiness, those In his Winter Evening, at the opening
(tf* the fourth book of The Task, are perhnps the most beautiful.
In perusing that scene of 'Intimate delights,' *flre-side enjoy-
ments,' and ' hnmo-born happiness,' we soem to recover a part of
the fbrgotten value of existence, when we recognise the means of
its blessedness so widely diapensed and so cheaply attainable, and
find tbem susceptible of description at once so enchanting and so
fidtbful."— Oammkll : lluay an Engluh I^ietry.

"It contains a number of pictures of domestic comlbrt and so-
dsl refinement which can hardly be fbrgotten but with the lan-
gUi^ce Itself."

Cowper's next production was the Tirocinium, intended,
M he tells us,

''To censure the want of discipline, and the scandalous Inatten-
tion to morals, that obtain In public schools, especially in the
largest," Ac

In the same year, (1784,) he commenced his translation of
Homer, which was completed and pub. in 1791, 2 vols. 4to.
Not entirely satisfied with his performance, he commenced
a revision in 1792, and devoted bis leisure time for several
years to the corrected version. It was pub. in 1802, 4 vols.
8to, by J. Johnston. Very different opinions are enter-
teined both of the merit of the bmnslation generally, and
«f the reepectire ezoeUeneies or defects of the eariier and
later versiona.

Ur. Southey greatly prefers tbe former :

" Tbe version he oompnaed when his Acuities were most active,
and his spirits least sn^ect to depression, ought not to be supei^
••dad by a revisal, or rather reconstruction, undertaken three

years before his dea&; not ttke tbe first translaflon, 'a pleasant
work, an Innocent luxury,* but *a hopeless eraployment,' a taak to
which he gave 'all his miserable days and on«n many bonis of
tbe nlfthtr'

Dr. Clarke appears to be of a different opinion :

"For fidelity, accuracy, and tbe true poetical lire, this corrected
edition of Cowper's Transl&tlon stands yet unrivalled."

Mr. Croker remarks that

** 1 1 is the fluhion to call Cowper's translation * a miserable fiiil-
ura,' but the more one reads It tlie better it aeMns to represent the
original than any other.**

*' We admire Mr. Cowper*s abilities ; snna passages are executed
with great taste and s^rlt. and those that were difficult hs has
happily eluddated.** — Lon. CrUioal Review.

"1 long to know your opinion of Cowper's translation. The
Odyssey, especially, Is surely very Uomarie. What uoUer than
the appearance of Phoebus at the beginning of the Iliad — Unas
ending with 'Dread sounding-bounding on the sQvar bow'? **-*
a^arits Lamh to CbUriiige.

"That the translation Is a great deal mora close and literal than
any that had previously been attempted In Ei^llsh verse, probably
will not be disputed by those who are the least disposed to admire
It ; that the style into which It is translated Is a true Kn^Ush style,
though not perhaps a very elet^nt or poetical one, may al^o be as-
sumed; but we are not sure that a rigid and candid criticism will
go flirther in its oommendatlon." — Lord Jkppkst t ScNn. Itev.^ U. 86.

It is useless to venture any suppositions as to the cha-
racter which his intended life and edition of Milton would
have assumed. Certainly few men have been better quali-
fied for so arduous a task.

Of Cowper's minoi; poems, perhaps the best known are
the Lines addressed to fais Mother's picture, and that In-
seribed to Mary, his faithful friend and nurse Mrs. Unwin.
The Olney Hymns, written in conjunction with Rev. John
Newton, have had a wide circulation, and doubtless proved
very useful. In 1803, *04, Mr. Hayley pub. A Life, and
the Posthumous Writings of Cowper, Chichester, 3 vols. 4to.

**The little Mr. Hayley writes In these volumes Is by no means
well written, [but] with a very amiable gentk»ness of temper, and
with tbe stron^^eat appearanco of a sincere veneration and affeo*
tlon Ibr the departed friend to whose memory It is consecrated." —
Loan Jeftskt.

In 180<1 Mr. Hayley added Supplementary Paf^ef to the
Life of Cowper, Chichester, 4to. In 1S24 his Private Cor-
respondence with several of his most intimate friends, from
the originals in the possession of his kinsman, Mr. John-
son, appeared in 2 vols. 8vo. A complete edition of his
Works, Correspondence, and Translations, with a Life of
the Author, edited by Robert Southey, was pub. in 16
vols. p. Svo. A now ed., with additional Letters, in Bohn'a
Standard Library, 8 vols., plates.

" There Is no one among our living writers who unltee reemrrh,
taste, and Klncority* (the three great rarinlsites of a biographer.)
so deUghtfully as Ur. 8outhey; and It is almost superfluons to
say, that his work is as readable for its anecdotes and contempo-
rary sketches, as for Its clear, nuinly, and eloquent style." — Lon.
Athfnrrum.

" It is hardly too much to say that It derives nearly half Its value
fKmi the labonre of the editor and biographer ."

" In the Life of the Poet, Dr. Southey haji introduced much of
the Literary History of England during half a oentuiy, with bl<H
graphical sketches of many of his contemporaries.**

The Rev. T. S. Grimshawe, author of the Life of Rev.
Legh Richmond, pub. an edit of the Works, Letters, and
Life, in 1835, Lon., 8 vols. Svo; new edit, 1847, 8 vols.
Svo, and also an edit in 1 vol. r. Svo.

" Mr. Grimshawe*s labours are not only recommended by the
power his relationship to Ibr. Johnson placed In Us hands, but by
the deep concern be takes in every thing which regards the essen-
tial and beautiftal parts of Oowper^s character.**— A'orHvefc ifercvry.

We notice some other editions. Cowper's Poems, with a
Memoir of the Author, by John MeDiarmid, Edin., 18mo.

" The Memoir has tbe merit of being written with remariutUe
critical acumen, of delineating the character of Cowper with accu-
racy, and of Including, stripped of all bo<4c-maklng periphrases,
the whole course of tbe poet's life, agitated as It was by acute
mental sufferings,**— Owri Magazine.

Cowper's Works, with Life, by Dr. Memos, Glasg., I86S,
12mo.

" The Hemcrfr greatly surpasses. In philosophioal aoeoraey. tbe
fbnner estimates of Cowper's life. The editor la evidently a stu-
dent of human naturae, under all tbe varieties of physlcml and
moral causes by whirii It may be affected. lie is also a clear, good
writer, who, understanding his sul^ect expreases himself with
eqiul beauty and preciston." — Bvangiiioitl ingamm.

To these may be added Memoirs, Bsaays, Ae. by Nice*
las, Greatheed, Stebbins, Cary, Dwi|?ht, Ac.

The Letters of Cowper have f^ined him as much repu-
tation as have the most favourite passages of bis poetry.
On this ^eme it were easy to enlarge, but we must rest
content with a citation ftom one of the greatest masters of
our tongue :

**I have always considered tbe letters of Hr.Cowperas theflneet

A few brief extracts from two or three eminent authori-
ties must conclude an article already sufficiently extended :
"Of Cowper how shall I express myself in adequate terms of
admiration f The purity of his principles, the tenderness of bis
heart, his analTected and zealous piety, bis warmth of doTotlnn, .
(however tinctured at times with gloom and deapondeney,) the ;
delicacy and playfulness of his wit, and the singular ieUdty of his
diction, aJl conspire by turns

'To win the wisest, warm the coldest heart.'
■* Oowper Is the poet of a well-educated and well-principled ISng-
lishman. ' Home, sweet home' Is the scene — limited as it may be
imag:ined— in which be contrives to cODoentiate a thousand beau-
ties, which other* hare scattered far and wMe upon ottfects oi\mB
interest and attraction. His plctnres are. If I may ao speak, con-
celred with all the tenderness* of Raffaello, and executed with all
the finish and sharpness of Tenlers. No man, in such few words,
tells his tale, or describes bis scene, so forcibly and so justly. His
views of nature are less grand and less generalized than those of
ThoDUton : and here, to carry on the previous mode of comparison,
I should say that Thomson was the Oaspar Poussln, and Cowper
the Hobblma ofriiral poetr>'. . . . The popularity of Cowper guns
atrength as It gains sga : and, after all, be Is the poet of our study,
our cabinet, and our alcove.** — Da. Dibdix.

" His language has such a masculine idiomatic strengtti, and
hJs manner, whether ha rises Into grace or falls into negligence,
has 80 much plain and Jhrnlllar freedom, that we rend no poetry
with a deeper conviction of Its sentiments having come from the
author's heart, and of the entbuitlaiem. In whatever be deffcrlbea,
having been unfi>lgncd and unexagKerated. He Imprefwes us with
tbe idea of a being whose fine spirits had hren long enough In the
nixed society of the world to be poligbed by Its Interrourse, and
yet withdrawn so soon as to retain an unworldly do^free of sim-
plicity and purity."— Thomas Cahpokll.

" The great merit of ibis writer appears to us to consist In the
boldness and originality of his eompcmtloiui. and In the fortunate !
audacity with which be baa carried tbe dominion of poetry into I
regions that had been considered as inaccessible to her ambition.
. . . He took as wide a range in language, too, as in matter; and
shaking off the tawdry Incumbrance of that poetical dktlon which
had nearly reduced the art to the skllfol collocation of a set of
appololed phrases, he made no scruple to set down In verse every
eapresdon that would bare been admitted in prose, and to take
advantage of all the Tarietioa with which our language oould
supply him.** — Loan Jeffket.

"The bhigiaphlcal bbonn of Mt. AacBntAcOR Coxa are consi-

than in the present timee."— Da. Dinnix: Lib. Camp.

Coxeter, Thomaa, 1689-1747, a native of Lechlade,
Qlonoealerahire, was educated at Magdalen School and
Trinity College, Oxford. He collected some of the mate-
rials used in what is styled Cibber's Lives of the Poets,
assisted Ames in his Typographical Antiquities, and aided
Theoltald in his blaok-letter researches, when the latter
was preparing his edit of Shakspeara. Some of his MSS.
ware need by Warton in his History of English Poetry.
He pub. in 1739 an edit of Baily's, or rather Hall's, Life
of Bishop Fisher, first puli. in 1855. He was the originator
•f the scheme adopted by Dodsley of publishing a ooUeo-
tion of Old English Plays. He also pub., in 1710, a poem
supposed to be his own, entitled Astrea Licrimans, to the
metnoiy of Sir John Cook, and in 1759 an edit of Mas-
flager'* Works appeared, said to be " revised, eoireoled,
•od the editions collated, by Mr. Cozeter."

"We talked of a collection being made of all the Sngllsh poets
who had pnblhifaed a vOinme of poems. Johnson UAi me ' that
a If r. Coxetor. wliom he knew, had gone the greatest length towarda
this; having eoUeeted, I think, about five hundred volmnea of
poets whose works were bat little known ; but that upon his death
Tom Osbourtte bought them, and they were dispersed, which he
tbonght a pKy, as tt was eniions to see any series complete; and

It should be mentioned to Dr. Johnson's credit, that be
often afforded aid to Cozeter's daughter, who was left in
needy circumstances by her father's death. Coxetor was
secretary to an English Historical Society, and he con-
templated the publication of an edit, of the Dramatic
Works of Thomas Hay. See a notice of him in Nichols's
Literary Anecdotes, and in the Oent Hag. for 1750.

Crabbe*8 Report of Casen id D. C. XJ. States for the

E. District of Fenna., 1835-46, chiefly before the Hon.
Joseph Hopkinson, Phila., 8to.

** Mr. CrabVie'ii Rpporti Kre extremely well <km& The Ktvle li
good, the &ct8 of the cam-i well stAted. and the syllabos arefiiUy
abBtncted.** See Ainer. Law IleKls.. June. 1K03.

Crabbe, George, 1754-1S:12, a native of Aldborongb,
Snffolk, was the son of a collector of the saltr-duties, who
placed him aa an apprentice with a surgeon, which pro-
fession the future author for a time adopted. Meeting
with bat little success, and having become enamoured of
authorship, he determined to seek his fortune in London,
which he had already visited as a medical student A
poetical address to the monthly reviewers, entitled. The
Candidate, profited him but little erthor in pocket or repu-
tiition, and the res angtuta domi — if the term may be ap-
plied to a poet's garret — stared him in the face with a most
threatening aspecL In this emergency he made unsac-
cessfnl applications for relief to Lord Korth, Lonl Shel-
bume, and Lord Chancellor Thurlow. The latter was
subsequently more gracious to him, and presented him
with £100, and two years later with two small livings.
But at the earlier period of which we speak, be would
have been desolate and destitute indeed, had it not in a
happy moment occurred to him to make known his case
to that exalted character — Edmuxd Btrkb, a name never
U> be mentioned without reverence nor thought of without
admiration and esteem. His written application will be
found in the Life of the poet by his son, and several letters
to Mr. Burke are pub. in the Correspondence of the latter.
In our memoir of this distinguished statesman and philo-
sopher, we have quoted an eloquent tribute by Crabbe to
the virtues of his generous benefactor, and we have such
delight in recording any thing to the honour of this illus-
trious man, that we cannot withhold from the reader the
enthusiastic eulogy of the grateful child of the deeply
obliged author:

"He went into >Ir. Burke's room, a poor jonnft adventurar,
FDumed by the opulent, and rejected by the publishers, hlii last
EhilUng Kon**i and all but his lant hope with it: he rame out vtr*
tuallj wcupu of Almost all the pcxxl fortune that, by successlTe
steps, ftfti>rwardB fi'U to his lot — his i^enlus acknowledged by one
whose Tordlct could not be questioned— his charerterand manners
appreciated and approved by a noble and capacloas heart, whose
benevolence knew no liralts but Its power^-that of a giant In in-
tellect, who WAS, In feulinK, an unsopbistteated child—a briffbt ex-
ample of the close afHnlty between superlktive talents and the
warmth of tho genemug afTectiona. Mr. Crabbe had Aftorwards
many other friends, kind, libcml, and powerful, who AK!<l.«ted hfm
In his nrofesslouAl career; but It was one hand alone that reecned
him when he waji sinkinfc.**

By the assistance of this true friend, who took him un-
der his own roof, Crabbe was enabled to prepare himself
for admission to holy orders. Ho was ordained deacon in
1781 and priest in 1782. After officiating for a time as
curate to the rector of Aldborongh, he became, by the in*
flnonee of Mr. Burke, chaplain to the Duke of Rutland,
and took up his residence at Belvoir Ca^'-tle. In 1783
Lord Thurlow presented him with two small livings in
Dorsetshire. lie now felt at liberty to marry the object
of his early affections — Sarah Elmy — who was removed by
death in 1813. In this year — he had in the meantime held
several rectories and curacies — the Duke of Rutlnnd gave
him the living of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, to which the
incumbency of Croxton, near Belvoir, was subsequently
added. Here he lived for the rest of his life, a useful,
respected, and beloved parish priest, occajtionally relieving
his pastoral duties by a visit to his literary friends in
London, who admired the poet, esteemed the man. and
revered the priesL In 1822 he paid a visit to Sir Walter
flcott, in Edinburgh. We now come to the consideration
of his writings. The Poem of the Library was pub. in
1781, 4to, and met with a flattering reception. Two years
later appeared The Village, which confirmed his literary
reputation, and made the obscure priest one of the most
noted in an age of great names. Both of these poems had
before publication received the benefit of the revision of
Mr. Burke, and The Village had passed under the critical
eye of Dr. Johnson :

,^ •«JfarcA4,178».

"Sir — 1 have sent you back Mr. Crabbe's poem, which I T«ad
with great delight. It Is orl^nal, vlfrorous. and elefcant

"The alterations which I tiave mJade I do not require taim to
adopt, for my lines are perhaps not often better than his own;
but be may take mine and his own tofcether, and perhaps between
th«n produce something better than either. He Is not to thlnlc
his copy wantonly defliced. A wet sponge will wub all Uie red
lines away, and leave the pajre clear.

" The dediea tlon will be Itwit liked. It were better to contract It
Into a short, Rprigbtly address. I do not doubt Hr. Crabbe's suo-
oesa." — Dr. Jnfuufm to Sir Jothtta JlejnuM$.

Scones so graphically described, appealing to the ex-

perience of so many, could not be otherwise than widdy
read. Those who read extracts in the joomals vers not
satisfied until they had procured the relume, and tb« aa-
thor felt his position to be no longer donbtfal The Kews- '
paper appeared in 1785; The Parish Register ia 1807;
The Borough in 1810; Tales in Verse in 1812; aodbii
last publication — Tales of the Hull — in 1819. He sold tkii
work, and the unexpired term of his former copyrights, to
Mr. Murray for the handsome sum of £3090. M'e should
not omit to mention, that two years before the pablicstioo
of the last-named work, Mr. Crabl>e pub. a Sermun on the
Variation of Public Opinion aa it respects Religion. In
delineating the homely everyday scenes of common Eng-
lish life — ^in depicting the tenants of the lowly cottage, the
rude hut, the parish workhouse, and the jail — perbapi
Crabbe has never been surpassed. His command of
language and facility in rhyme are remarkable, ind
without being free from diffusiveness, there is often an
epi grammatical terseness in his lines which delights even
a careless reader. Horace Smith calls him "Pope in
worsted stockings," but Horace said many things in his
wit which he would have repudiated in his wii^dom. One
of the most eloquent criticisms upon Crabbe's wrilicge with
which we are acquainted will bo found in Cunninghani'i
Biog. Hist of England. Wo give a brief extract:

** The severity of Crabbe's muse i^uKiBtjf in a faithful portiaitaie
of nature. If man Is not always happy. It if not the poct'i bnlt
There U too much of sober reality in Uiu to make tbt' picture other
than it is. ThiA Crabbe koowH. for be writes of sceun uoder tiis
own obserration. He lived amidst the people be descriU*. litlt
their oc<vsional joys, and saddened over tbelr many mlsliirtaDea
But in his gloomiest character he never 'overeteps the modesty
of natare.' He does not accumulate horrors forefftTt. lie has no
extravagant and unnatural heroes pouriuK forth their morbid ssd*
tlment in his pages. There is no sickly affectation, but a pare and
healthy portrait of life— «f life it may be in its unliappWst. but in
Its least artificial, development, where society has done little to
alter its rough uneducated tones, where the actual feeliiigi and
pasdoDS of man may be traced at every footatep."— Vol. vitL 4:30.

Gifford, referring to the affecting story of the village giri
betrothed to the sulor> in The Borough, remarks :

" Lonfrlnui somewhere mentions, that It was a question anwng
the critics of his age, whether the suMfane could be produced I9
tenderness. If this question had not been already determfaiet^
this history would have gone &r to bring it to a derision."

Allan Cunningham hardly agrees with the critic qnoM
above :

" Crabbe is a cold and remoraelees dissector, who pauses with tbo
streaming knife in his hands, to explain how atroujcly the blood
Is tainted, what a gangrene Is in tlia Uver, how completely the
sources of health are corrupted, and that tin autO^ct Is a bad one.
. . . Deliver us from Ciabbe in the hour of depreealon I Pirtnm
of moral, and mental, and bodily degradation, are frequent throngh
all his works; he is one of Job's chief comibrtera to the people.'*—
Btcff.and Crit. BimL oflAL

We quote an able criticism on Crabbe from an eminent
authority :

*' Vif. Crabbe Is the greatest «Nana<rt*j<, perhapa, of all our living
poets ; and It Is mther unfortunate that the moctpromlneDt fcatnne
of his mannerism are not the moet pleasing. The homely, qualn^
and prosaic style — the flat, and often broken and jlngiy veralfica^
tion — the eternal flilMengths of low and worthlen characten—
with their accustomed gamishtug of sly jokes and bmiliar mo-
ralizing— are all on the surflwo of his writings; and are almost
unavoidably the things by which wo are first reminded of him,
when we take up any of his new productions. Yet they are not
the things that trulv constitute his pernliar manner, or'^lvv that
character by which be will and on^ht to be remembered with fa-
ture Keneratlona It Is plain, indeed, that tbey are Ihlntrs that
will make nobody remembered — and can never, therefore, be
really chnracterlstlc of some of the most original and powerftil
poetry that the world frrer saw.

"Mr. C, accordingly, has otlier gifts; and thoae not 1e«s pecu-
liar or less strongly marked than the bleanfahes with which they
are contrasted — an unrivalled and almoet magical power of ob>
servatlMi, reaulllng In descriptions so true to nature as to strike
us rather as tmnsnlpta than Imitations — an anatomy of rbanctsr
and foellng not less exquisite and searching — an occaidonal touch of
manly tenderness — and a deep and dreadful pathetic. Inten^ned
by fits, and strangely Interwoven with the moat minute and hninUe
of his detalla Add to all this the sura and profound mgaclty of
the remarks with which be every now and then startles us in the
midst of very unambitious dlscusfdons ; and tb*> weight and tene-
nees of the maxims which ho dreps, like oracular ref>pr<UHW. on
ocrajdons that give no promise of such a revelation : and last,
though not least, that sweet and seldoro-fmunded chord of lyrical
Innrfratlon. the lightest tou^ of which InHtantly rharmvVway
all barshneas fK»n his numbera and all banthnefut from his themes
— and at once exalts him to a level with the moEt energetic and
inventive poets of his afre." — I^rd JErrRET.

Cranmer, Thomas, D.D., 148S-1&66, a native of
Aalacton, Nottinghamihire, was ent«red of Jesas College,
Cambridge, in 1503, became a Fellow, 1510, '11; D.D.,
1523. The eoncarrenoe of his opinions with the desires
of Henry VIII. in the matter of his divorce from bis bra-
tiler's widow gained him the favour of the sovereign, and
laised kim to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, March 30,
1533. Upon the death of Henry ho was one of the Council
of Regency to Edward VI., and laboured zealonsly to pro-
mote the principles of the Reformation. Upon the acces-
sion of Mary, he was imprisoned as an abettor of the
treason of Lady Jane Grey, and also declared guilty of
heresy by Pope Pius IV. The melancholy story of the
recantation wrung ftvm the bodily infirmities and mental
distraction of an old man, goaded by merciless demons in
human shape to a state of desperation, is too well known
and too painful a theme to l>e lingered over here. Indeed,
the Life of Cranmer I>elongB to ecclesiastical and political,
rather than to literary, history. He passed to heaven
through the fires of martyrdom on Cfae 21st of March, 1556,
in bis 67th year. His writings — for an account of which
refer to the works cited below — greatly tended to the pro-
motion of the English Reformation. Cranroer'g Bible, or
Hie Qreat Bible, as it is called, was printed by Rychard
Grafton and Edward Whitchurch, IS.'tO, fol. The trans-
lation is Tyndale's and Rogers's, carefully revised through-
out. Many edits, were printed between 1540-69. A
beautiful oopy on vellum — ^probably unique — formerly the
property of Henry VIII., can be seen in the British Mn-
senm. For an account of Cranmer's Bible, see Lewis,
Cotton, Home, Lowndes, Ac. The Instruction of a Chris-
tian Man was pub. in 1537, fol., and Catecbismns, a trans.
fVtim Justus Jonas, in 1548, 8vo. Cranmer wrote some of
the Homilies, and various controversial and explanatory
tteatises. See the following works : Memorials of the Life

Ciashaw,Kichard,d. 1650 7 aon of the Rev. Richard
Crasliaw, was a native it London, and educated at the
Charterhouse, and Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. In 1637
be was Fellow of Peterhonae. Entering the Church, he
became distingoished as an eloquent preacher, bat was

ejected in 1644 for refVising to take the Covenant H«
now removed to France, and became a convert to the Bo-
man Catholie religion. In 1646 Cowley found him ia
Paris in great pecuniary distreaa, and secured him the in*
fluence of Henrietta Maria, whose commendatory letters
procured him the posts Of seorstary to one of the cardinals,
and canon of the church of Loratto. Soon after this last
promotion he died of a fever, about 1650. Is 1634 fa« pub.
a vol. of Latin poems, in one of which occura the well-
known line — sometimes ascribed to Sryden — referring to
the miracle of the conversion of water into wine :
"Nympba pudica.I>oum vldlt et erabult."
The modest water saw Its God, and blushed.

His Engliah Poems, Steps to the Temple, The Delights of
tho Musoa, and Carmen Deo Nostro,were pub. in 1646, 12mo,
and 1648, 12mo. Carmen Deo Nostro, te decet Hymnns:
Sacred Poems, collected, Paris, 1652, Svo. Poetry, with
some Account of the Author and Introductory Address, by
Peregrine Phillips, 1758, 12mo. Poetical Works ; now first
completely edited by W. B. Tunbull, 1858, f^p. Svo. His
poetry consists principally of religions invocations and
translations of uncommon merit f^om the Latin and Italian.
His luxuriance of imagination and exquisite facility in
the expression of his poetical visions have seldom been
surpassed. Among his best^known pieces are Hymn to
the Nome of Jesus ; Lines on a Prayer-Book ; Music's
Dnel; the translation from Moscbus, Catullus, and of a
portion of Marino's Soapetto d'Herode. The latter will
remind the reader as forcibly of Paradise Lost as the
same author's Elegies on St. Alexis will recall 'the ferrid
strains in which Eloisa invokes Abelard. Mr. Hayley con-
siders that Pope conferred quite as much as he borrowed ;

"If Pope borrowed any thing fh)m Crasbaw in this article, It
was onlj as the sun borrows from the earth, when drawing from
tbenoe a mere vapour, he makes It the delight of every e^e, by giv-
ing It all the tender and gorgeous oolonring of heaven."

Pope thna annonncea his faronrite pieces in Crashaw'a
collection :

** I will Just observe that the best pleres of this author are a
Psmphrase on Psalm xUl. — On Leaslua, — Kpltapta on Mr. Ashton,—
Wishes to bis supposed Mlstreea, and tho Dia Im," — LttUr to H,
CnmuiM, Dec 17, 1710.

Crashaw'a editor dissents fVom this opinion :

**The rxauler must determine whether Mr. Pope haa mentioned
the best pieoea ; on the contrary, whether many much anperlor
are not to be met with In the little work before us ; and If io, what
lair reason ooold tlwra be for such a partial aslectfon." — i^iU^s
CrathaWf p. 22.

Selden and Cowley were intimate friends of our poet,
and the monody in which the latter laments hia death has
been highly commended :

" Cowley aeems to have liad what Mflton Is believed to have
wanted, the skill to rate his own performaiioeB by their juat value;
and has therefore cloaed hia MucollaDles with tbe Verses upon
Croallaw, which apparently excel all that have gone before them;
and In which there are beautlea which common authors may justly
think not only above their attafaiment, bat above their ambition^

for introducing the accounts of so many miracles and

Crichton, James, "The Admirable," can hardly
eUim much space as an author, but shall not be altogether
omitted. His birth has been generally placed in 1551, but
Lord Buchan has decided that he was born in August,
1680. His lordship also settles upon July, 1582, as the
time of his death. He was the son of Robert Crichton,
Lord Advocate of Scotland, and was descended by his
mother, a Stuart, from King Robert IL After studying
at the Perth, and at the University of St Andrew's, and
"acquiring a knowledge of ten languages, end all the
ieiences when 16 to 20 years of age," (!) he travelled
abroad, and visiting Paris, Venice, Rome, Ac, challenged
the Rabbi of the different universities to learned disputa-
tions upon any subject whatever. He was killed, it is
sud, in a rage of jealousy,—* lady, of course, being the
exciting canse, — by Vincentio, his pupil, a son of Gontaga,
Duke of Mantua. Those who would know more of one
of the most remarkable characters of history, must oon-
snlt the works of Sir Thomas Urquhart, Bayle, Joannes
Lnperialis, Francis Douglas, Patrick Fraser Tytler, and
the article by Dr. Kippis in the Biog. Brit, partially com-

Siled from a MS. drawn up by the Earl of Buchan, for the
ocioty of Antiquaries at Edinburgh. In the Biog. Brit
will be found four Latin Poems, the only literary remains
of the Admirable Crichton.

"Theee wUI not exhibit Um In a very high point of view.
Some fkncy perhaps, may be thought to be displayed In the
longest of his poems, which was written on occask>n of his ao-
proacb to the dty of Venice. ... The other three poems have sUll
IMS to rMommend them. Indeed his verses will not stand the test
or a rigid examination, even with regard to quantity."— 0u» Brit
Cnchton was as celebrated for his personal beauty, and
bis skill in fencing, drawing, and other polite accomplish-
ments, as for his marrellons erudition. Joannes Imperia-
""< ™ ^'^'■" biographer, cannot say enough in his praise :
' That can more exoeed our comprehension, than that Cifcb-
ton, m the twentyHrst year of his age, should be master of tm
dUTerent languages, and perfectly well versed In phUewiphy, ma-
thematics, OieoloCT, polite literature, and all other sdenisf Bo-
•"^ *"J^* "«■ »><«^ «n the whole compaas of the globe, that to I

these extiaordlnaxT endowments of the mind, shodld be added a
singular skill Ita fencing, dancing, singing, riding, and in every
exercise of the gymnastic art 1"

This is sufficiently bigb-fiown, bat Imperialis has not
done with us yet; for he goea on to declare that when
Crichton died,

** The report of so sad a catastrophe was spread to the remotest
parts of the earth; that it disturbed anirersal Nature; and that
m her grief tat the loss of the Wonder she bad produced, she
threatened never more to confer such honour upon mankind."

The last paragraph is not to be disputed. Certainly the
world has since seen no such Phoenix ! We should not
omit to mention that Crichton's tract of Epicedium iUua-
trissimiietreverandissimiCardinalis Boromssi, Mediolani,
1584, 4to— so rare that it is asserted there is no other copy
known than that in the Sapionia College at Rome— was
reprinted in 1825 by a distinguished book-collector for pri-
vate distribution, 25 copies were struck off on paper, and
one on vellum.

Croke, Richard, (in Latin, Crocns,) d. 1558, a na^

Cambridge. He was Greek Professor at Leipsio, at Lou-
vain, and subsequently at Oxford. He was sent by
Henry VIII. to influence the University of Padua to
ftivonr the divorce of the king. His letters to Henry may
be seen in Bnrnef s Hist of the Reformation. Croke pub.
several treatises, among which are Introdnctiones ad Grse-

Croker, Rt. Hon. John Wilaon, B.C.L., 1780-
1857, a native of the county of Galway, Ireland, but of
English descent, was one of the most prominent literary
characters of his day. He died at the house of Sir William
Whiteman, at St Alban's-bank, Hampton, near London.
He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, called to the
Bar in 1807, and from that time to 1832 occupied a seat in
the House of Commons. From 1809 to '30 be was Secre-
tary to the Admiralty, and in 1828 was sworn of the Privy
Council. His opposition to the Reform Bill, and bis decla-
ration that he would never sit in a Reformed House of
Commons, has enabled him to devote more attention to
literary pursuits. His first publication, Familiar Epistles
to Frederick E. Jones, Esq., on the Irish Stage, Dubl.,
• 1S04, two edits, in the year, displayed that satirical power
which is so conspicuous in his articles in the Quarterly
Review — originated in 1809 by Scott, Conning, and Croker.
In that valunble, if not altogether amiable, ingredient in
reviewing, sarcasm, Mr. Croker is thought not to have been
a whit behind the great Gifford himself.

" John Wllion Croker mora than approached the editor in sar-
castic sallies and biting wit: he gave early proob of such powers
In bis poem on the Irish stage; Intimated talents active and argn-
mentatlve In his speeches ; and a poetic feeling and spirit ■pproacb-
hig Scott In his Peninsular battles. To his pen, many articles full
of political wormwood are attributed; and also some of the papers
on America, which Were not received Id a tone of thankfulness by
the men of the West" — Allan CnirRiKOHAH : Biog, and Orit. Jffitt.
VflAt. gee Men Of the Time, Ion., 1853.

Mr. C.'s next publication was An Intercepted Letter
from Canton. This is a satirical picture of the city of
Dublin. To this succeeded Songs of Trafalgar ; The Bat-
tle of Tola vera ; Sketch of Ireland, Past and Present ; Let-
ters oD the Naval War with America; Stories from the
History of England. This work (of which 30,000 to 40,000
copies have been sold) was the model of Sir Walter Scott's
Tales of a Grandfather.

*' A t^ood thought came In my head — to write stories Ibr little Jobn-
nio I.<)ckhnrt, from the HiDiory of Scotland, llku thow, taken from
the History of Kngland. Bnt I will not write mine quite so rimply
as Croker has done. I am pemuadod both children and the lower
doss of readers bate books which are written down to their capo-
city, and love those that are composed for their elders and betters."
We wish that the authors of some modem juvenile liooks
would ponder the above.

Sir Walter presented a copy of the First Series to Mr.
Croker, with the following note:

*' My DlARCaoKKR, — I have heen stealing from yon,And as It seems
the fsshlon to compound felony, I send you a sauiple of the twag,
b>' way of stopping your mouth. .. . Always yours, tV. Scott."

Mr. Croker has also aided educators and their pupils
by his excellent Progressive Geography for Children,
which a high authority commends as
'■ The Itefit elementary book on the suljecl." — Xon. <^rt. Ra.
We continue the enumeration of Mr. Crokor's works:
Reply to the Letters of Malachi Mnlngrowther ; The Suf-
folk Papcn; Military Events of the French Revolution
of 1830; trans, of Bassompierre's Emba.say to England;
Hervcy's Memoirs of the Court of George the Second,
now first nub. from the Originals at Ickworth.

The mention of Boswell naturally introduces a notice
of the maj/Hum opm of Hr. Croker — the production by
which he is best known to the popular literary cireles —
his edit of Boswell's Johnson. This work has been already
noticed at length in our article upon BoswelL The reader
will there see that Mr. Macaulay does not indulge in rap-
turous plaudits of TSIt. Croker's valuable labours, and the
latter has returned Mr. Macaulay's compliments in bis re-
view in the Quarterly of The History of England from
the Accession of James II. An answer to Mr. Croker's
charge of " partial selection" and " misrepresentation of
facta" wUl h« fonnd in the "Edinbnrgb." it is not pleasant
to dwell upon these family quarrels ; for surely those who
lealously labonr for the intelleetnal advancement of tho
race may be properly said to constitute one family. With
tho exception of contributions to the Quarterly Review,
Mr. Croker published nothing for many years. At the
time of his death lie was engaged in the preparation of an
edition of the works of Alexander Pope, in connexion with
Mr. Peter Cunningham, which was announced by Mr.
Murray. Mr. Cunningham continues the editorship, (so^

This is not the publication of Alexander Cruden.

Cruden, Alexander, 1701-1770, a natire of Aber-
deen, educated at Marischal College, designed entering the
Church, bat was prevented by symptoms of insanity. In
1732 he settled in London as a permanent residence,
opened a bookstore, and became a corrector to the press.
He styled himself Alexander the Corrector. In 1733 be
commenced the preparation of his Concordance to the Holy
Scriptures, and laboured with such industry in the inter-
TiJs of business, that be was able to put it to press in
1737, 4to; 2d ed., 1701, 4to; 3d ed., with improvements,
1709, 4to ; 0th ed., with Life, by Alex. Chalmers, 181 2, 4to ;
lOtb ed., 1824, r. 8vo. The editor of this last ed. hopes
that his "extraordinary care will obtain for this edition
the high recommendation of being tbe most correct edi-
TioH OP Crcden's Concordance bteb prBLisHRO." But
alas ! for the hope of faultless typography I The editor
of the Phila. reprint of 1830 professes to have discovered
(and corrected) in this immaculate edition, no less than
TEN TQonsANn ERRORS iu tbe references, which had escaped
the eye of tbe London editor t

Of Cmden's Concordance, there have been many abridg-
ments, which profe?B to conti^in all that is valuable la the
original, which makes us marvel at the stupidity of the
auttior, who devoted so many days and nights to accumu-
late what we are now assured is entirely superfluoua I Yet
being old-faahioned in our ideas, we rather prefer having
every line of this unnecessary matter.

The late Rev. Tbos. Scott, author of the Commentary,
partially prepared a new Concordance to the Bible. Bee
bis Life by bis son. Mr. Scott remarks that

''The errors and defldeDclefl In Cruden are tenfold more than
are geneiallj suspected."

But, on tha other band. Dr. Williams declares that

" It Is so complete as a Concordance that nothing remains mate*
riaUy deficient''— CArMim Pmzclier.

" It Is not unlikely that Croden, corrected and hnproved, will
stlU retain Us j>laoe In BngUah Uterature."— Oaaa: mi. B».

*' Cruden's Concordance, or a similar work, is Indispensable to
mlnlsten."

" Cmden's Ooneordanee should bo In everybody's library. It Is
uncommonly complete, the definitions of leading words remark-
ably accurate, and tike references exceedingly correct." — LowmiBS.

Cruden also wrote An Account of the History and Ex-
eeDency of the Holy Scriptures, prefixed to a Compendium
of the Holy Bible ; A Scripture Dictionary ; an Index to
Bp. Newton's edit, of Milton ; The History of Richard Pot-

Cndworth did not complete hia whole deaign in the In-
tclleetnal System, but waa discouraged from publishing
any thing further by the misrepresentntiona to which his
learned labonrs were subjected. He left several MSS,,
which appear to hare been intended as a continuation of
his design. One of these, A Treatise conoerning eternal
and immntabia Morality, was pub. by Biahop Chandler in
1731, Svo. A nnmber of hia M.<!S. are deposited in the
British Museum. Cudworth'a great work was elicited by
the abanrd, yet miachievona, principlea advocated by Hobbes
iu the Leviathan. Being a perfectly fair and ingenuous
opponent, Cndworth placed the atheistic doctrines which
h* intended to refute ia the clearest light, and stated them
with aneh force, that, to hia amaicment, he found his own
slnoerity doubted when he proceeded to show their fallacy 1

He nafortanataly encumbered his argument by an admix-
ture of Platonic philosophy, and a " wild hypothesis of A
plastic nature," assumed to be the immediate inatrument.
ality by which the Divine Being carried hia purposes into
execution. Uia fate, with some shallow minds, was that
of Sir Thomas Browne — to bo considered a ohampion of
impieties, which be abhorred.

** He raised such strong otfjoctlons against the being of a God
and Providence, that many thought he had not answered them."
— UaTDIM.

** Though the whole world were no lees satlsfled with hia cans,
city and learning, than with hia sincerity In the cause of the
Di-lty; yet waa be accused of giving the upper band to tiieathelata,
fur bSTlng stated thfir reawns and those of their adrenarles fiiirly
tof^etfacr. . . . The coniuion bte of those who dare to appear ttir
authors." — Lord SiurTK.'iifRr.

The depth of erudition displayed in the Intellectual
System has been a subject of admiration to the learned of
all varieties of opinion.

** It contains the grofltest mass of learning and aripinient that
eror was brought t^ bear on atbfUlu. A thousand folio pones,
full nf learned riuotatlnns, and references to all heathen and sacred
antlijnlty, demonstrate the frrtUlty and laborious diligence of
the author. And whoever wLshes to know all that can be aald
respecting liberty and nucesalty, tkte and free-wtU, eternal reaaon
and .iustice. and arbitrary omnlpotfuce, has only to digest the
Intelloctu.'il Syfitt'm."^Orm<'« Btbl. Bib,

"It will at It>nst be expedient I had almost said necessary, to
know so mu-h of the opinions of heathen antl(iuity as is to bo

*• With a boldneaa uncommon Indeed, but very becoming a matt
consHona of his own Integrity, and of tbv trvtb and evidence of
his cause, Dr. Cudwerth launched out Into the hnnietislty of the
Intellectual System, and. at bis first essay, penetrated the very
darkest recesses of antiquity to strip atheism of all its disgulcea,
and drag up the lurking monster to convlctlon.*'-~Bi8iiop M'aa-

BtTRTON.

" Like another Atlas, ha carried In this work the whole WofM
of Learning on bla broad Intellectual ahoulders.**

" The Intellectual System Is an Immense atorobonae of tacts, of
arguments, and prinriples."

" That great master of learning and reasoning, Dr. Cudworth.*
— ^Dr. J. r»s RvtTH.

"The Intellectual 8yatem will forever remain a preckius mine
of Infiirmattun to those whose curiosity may lead tnem to study
the spirit ofthe ancient theories." — Dvgald Stehart.

"The Intellectual .System Is a work of stupendous erudition,
and of frequent mastei7 over diction and Illustration on subjects
where It Is moat rare." — Sir jAWia Mackitctosh.

"Cudworth was one of those whom Hofahes had roused by the
atheistic and Immnral theories of the Leviathan ; nor did any an-
tagonist of that philoBopber bring a more rigorous understanding
to the comtiat." — Hallau : Lftfrary Bist^jrtf.

" Dr. Ralph Cudworth held the same rank la Metaphysics that
Br. Barrow did In tho SubllmeOeometry." — €fraugn^» Mnff. Hut.

'The Platonic philosophy was with greater accuracy and sounder
judgment {than evinced % Qale] applied to tho refutation of im-

Klety by Ralph Cudworth. ... In this Important undertaking,
c very successfblly employed a vast fUnd of erudition."— fii/Wcff

Hint of Pfiflttfrmftl/.

"Amongst all the early philosophical writers of our country,
there is no one who displayed so complete a nuisterv- over the me-
taphysical svstems of antiquity, and no one who has left behind
him HO vast a monument of variod and accurate learning, as Ralph
Cudworth. the author ofthe Intdlectuol System."— .«>«•«•« JJiifc
q/' Modtm FMlntnphif.

It ia pleasing to refloat that to the eminent Cudworth
nay be added the title of good as well as great :

"An excellent and learned divine, of highest authority at home
and abroad." — Loan SuArrsssiniT : ChaTocUriiUa.

An unimpeachable authority thus enthuaiastieally com-
mends Cudworth :

'■ He was a great man In all parts of learning, divine and ha-
man : an honour to Kmanuel College, where ho was educated, to
Christ's College, where he afterwards presided, to the whole fnl-
Terrlty of Cambridge, which he adorned ; and to the chnreb and
age In which he lived."— Bishop Buk.mt.

Will not the University of Cambridge, thns honoured
by his name, honour his memory by publishing his MSS.?
How much would the world be the gainer by the refleo
tions of 80 profound a thinker aa Cudworth upon auch aub*
jects as "Moral Good and Evil;" " Liberty and Keceasi-
ty ;" " The Seventy Weeka of Daniel ;" " The Creation of
the World ;" "The Learning ofthe Hebrewa ;" " The Notion
of Hobbea concerning God and Spirits !" We feel aome
pride in recording the fact that an edition of The True In-
tellectual System of the Universe has been published in
America — Andovcr, 1837, 2 vols. r. Svo — and an edit of hii
whole works has recently been issued in New York, 2 vols.
Svo. We must not omit to recommend to the reader the ex-
cellent edition published in London in 1845, 3 vols. Svo,
which contains the learned Notes and Dissertations of the
Latin edition by Moshcim, translated l>y Harrison.

The pastoral industry, affectionate zeal, and fenrent

Iriet; of Bishop Cumberland, were as oonspicnona u hU
earning and theological aeumen.

Cnmberland, Richanl, 1732-1811, wu aoa of De-
niaon Cnmberland, Bishop of Kilmore, grandson of the
celebrated Dr. Bentley, and great-grandson of the Bishop
of Peterborough. He was educated at Westminster and
Trinity College, Cambridge. He became secretary to Lord
Halifax, and in 1780 was employed on a secret mission to
Bpain and Portugal, which resulted in a loss of credit and
money. A debt of £5000, expended by him for the pub-
lie service, was disowned by the ministry, and Cumberland
was obliged to part with his patrimony, and retire to Tun-
bridge WeUs, where he devoted himself entirely to those
literary pursuits which had been a source of recreation in
batter days. We notice some of his principal productions.
His comedies of The West Indian, The Wheel of Fortune,
The Jew, and The Fashionable Lover, were most favour-
ably received, and possess anqaastionable merit. He dis-
plays a higher tone of morality than dramatic literature can
always eltUm, and Goldsmith did not hesitate to style him

^ The Terence of England, the mender of Hiairts.'*

His novels, Arundel, Henry, and John de Lancaster,
■re devoid of that vivacity and sprightliness which con-
stitute the soul of fiction. How far bis female readers
may have resented a characteristic noticed by an eminent
authority, we shall not protend to determine :

** He had a peculiar taste In lore stTairs, which Induced him to
reverse the natural and useful pmcttce of courtship, end to throw
upon the softer sex the taslc of wooiug, which is more Kraccftilly,
as well as naturally, the province of the man." — Sir Walter Scott.

He pub. several theological tracts, a Version of Fifty of
the Psalms of David, The Kxodind, and a poem entitled
Calvary, or the Death of Christ. His Anecdotes of Emi-
nent Painters in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries,
abonnd in interesUng and curious information. In 1785
he pub. in 2 vols, the series of Essays under the title of
The Observer, enlarged in 1788, pub. in 5 vols, in 1790,
•nd in 180S incorporated with the British Classics.

** The Observer, thonah the sole labourer an iDdividual, Is jet
rich In variety, both of suhject and manner ; in this respect, in-
deed, as well as in litenuy Interest, and fertility of invention, it
may be classed with the Spectator and Adventurer. If Inferior to
tlss latter in grandeur of fiction, or to the former in delicate Irony
and dramatic unity of dselgn, it is wealthier in its literary fund
than either, equally moral in its views, and as abundant in tho
ereatlon of incident. I consider it, therefore, with tho exception of
the papers Just mentioned, as superior, in its pmoerg nfaUrac'imt,
to every other periodical composition." — Dr. Drak-e\* Kitayt^ vol. v.

His last work, pub. in the year of his death, is entitled
Betrospeetion, a Poem in Familiar Verse. The work by
which he will be best known to- posterity is his Memoir*,
intenpened with Anecdotes and Characters of the Most
Distinguished Persons of bis Time, 1808, 4ta. Supp.,
1807, 4to. With Illustrative Notes, edited by Heniy

Tho sale of Dr. Oumming's works has exceeded that of
the productions of any other theological writSr of the day.

" The Rev. John Gumming is now the great pulpit orator of Lou-
don, as Xdward Irving was some twenty years since. But very
dilTorent is the doctor tram that strange, wonderfully eloquent,
but erratic man. There eonld not by possibility be a greater con-
trast. The one all fire, enthusiasm, and semi-madness; the other
a man of chastened energy aud convincing calmness. The one
like a meteor, liashing across the troubled sky, and then Tanish.
Ing suddenly in the darkness; the other like a silver star, shining
serenely, and llluminBtlng our pathway with Its steady ray."

*Often have we heard Dr. Gumming, but never without 'having
noticed that he referred either to the Apocalyptic mysteries or to
Papacy. These are bis two great topics. . . . By many able persons
it is considered that Dr. Gumming is mistaken in many of the pre-
dictions which he utters, and that his great abilities are wasted
on mysteries which, after all, are unlhthcmiable by mortal mind." —

Cnnningfiam, Allan, 1785-1842, a native of Black-
wood, near Dalswinton, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, was the
son of a gardener. He was apprenticed to his uncle, a
country mason, but feeling dissatisfied with this position,
he removed in 1810 to London, where be became connected
with the newspaper press. In 1814 he was so fortanate as
to obtain the situation of Clerk and overseer of the esta-
blishment of the celebrated sculptor. Sir Francis Chantrey.
This association was only dissolved by the death of Sir
Francis in November, 1841. Cunningham survived bis
friend and patron less than a twelvemonth. He industriously
devoted his leisure time to those literary pursuits for which
he hsd a strong natural predilection, and obtained an ho-
nporable position among the celebrities of the day. Among
his earlier compositions were many of the pieces in Cromek's
Remains of Nithsdale and Galloway Song, pub. in 1810;
g. V. In 1822 appeared his dramaUo poem of Sir Marma-
aake Maxwell.

"Many parts of the poetry are eminently beautlftil. . . . Tlio
Bolt which. I think, attaches to Lord Maxwell, Is a want of distinct
precision and Intrlli^blllty about the story, which counteracts
•spedally with ordinary readers, the effect of beauUfbl and forcible

" This work contains the decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States. The opinions of the Court are In all caam givpu as
they have been printed by the authorized reporters, sfter correct-
ing such errors of the press or of citation as a careful examination
of the text has dlBclosed,

'* I have endenvored to Klre In the head-notes the substance of
each decision. They are defiign(?d to show the points decided bj
the court, not the dicta or reasonings of the Judges.

** Tlie statements of the cases have been made as brief as pos-
sible. For many years, it has been the habit of all the Judges of
this court to set forth in their opinions the fscts of the cases as
the court viewed them in making their decisions. Such a state-
ment, wlicn complete, renders any other superfluous. When not
Itmnd complete, 1 have not attempted to restate the whole case, but
have supplied. In the report, such fiicts or documents as seemed to
me to be wanting.

" In some cases turning upon questions or complicated states
of fact, and not involTlng any matter of law, I have not thought
it necessary to encnmlier the work with detailed statements of
evidence which no one would find it useful to recur ta These in-
starees. however, are tew.

*' To each case is sppended a note refferring to all subsequent
decisloDB In which the case in the text has Ijeen mentioned. It
win thus be easy to ascertain whether a decision has been over-
ruled, doubted, qusllfled, explained, or aiHrmod, and to see what
otlior applications bare been made of the same or analogous prin-
ciples.

" The paging of the anthoiiied reporters has been preserved at
the head of each case, and in each margin of each psf^ for con-
venience of reference; the reporters being dcslgnsted by their
Inltlnis,— D. ibr Dalhu, 0. for Cranch, W. for Wheaton, P. for

the Hon. Daniel Webster took a lively interest, and almost
with his dying breath urged Mr. Cnrtis to oomplote what

of the Constitution, yhu will write that work : I shall not. Oo on,
by all means; and you shall have every aid that I can five you.**

Dallas, Alexander James, 1759-1817, tbird son
of Robert Charles Dallu, vu a natire of Jamaica, to which
island hia father, an eminent physician, had emigrated
tnva Scotland about the middle of the 18th oen^nry. Upon
\^ bther'a retam to Scotland, Alexander was plaoed at an
ftcademy in the neighbonrhood of London, nnder the care
of James Elphinston, a familiar name to the readers of
Boswell's Johnson. With the great lexicographer, and the
equally famed philosopher — Dr. Franklin — yonng Dallas
became aoqnainted whilst still a stndent. In 1780 be was
married to Arabella Maria Smith, a daaghter of M^or
Qeorge Smith, of the British Army. In 1781, after the
death of his father, Hr. Dallas sailed for Jamaica, and had
resided in that island for two years when he determined to
emigrate to the United States. Ho arrived at the city of
Kew Tork in 1783, and proceeding to Philadelphia, took
the oath of allegiance to the Ckimmonwealth of Pennsyl-
rania the 10th day after his first landing on the shores of
the United States. In 1785 be was admitted to the Bar of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and in four or five
years became a practitioner in the Courts of the United
States. It has been mentioned as a striking proof of his
industry and seal in his legal pursuits, that

"Within Are jean altar his admission to the bar, he ooUeeted
and prepared Ibr publication a volume of cases, many of which
were decided betbre the Rerolntlon: a earrice to the pioftsslon.

day, can scarcely appredateu**

Bae National Portrait CMlery of Distingnished Ameri-
OMis, Phila., 1853, (article Okorgc HirrLiH Dallas,) to
wbidi we acknowledge our obligations.

In 1791 Hr. Dallas was i^pointed Secretary to the Com-
ntenwealth of Pennsylvania, and upon the election of Mr.
Jefierson to the Presidency, he became Attorney of the
United States for the Bastem District of Pennsylvania.
He oontinned in this offloe nntil October, 1814, when he
was appointed Seoretary of the Treasury of the United
States. In 1815 "he undertook the additional trust of
Seeretuy of War, and performed with snooass the delieato
task of reducing the army of the United States."

Ilf Kovember, 1810, the country being at peaoe, its
finances arranged, and the machinery of government un-
disturbed by any of the obstructions which had so long
retarded the harmonious action of its various functions, Mr.
Dallas felt that be had a right to claim for his declining
years a measure of that repose which he had long post-

Sined to the pressing exigencies of his adopted country,
a therefore resigned his oBoial trusts, and returned to the
praetiea of the law in Philadelphia. But the pressing re-
tpoDsibilities which had so long tasked his mental and
bodily powers bad doubtless affected his constitution, and
be feU an easy victim to an attack of gout in the stomach
^4he result of exposure to the cold when engaged in an
Important suit — in about two months after his retam to
private life. America will ever have reason to cherish with
Affectionate reverence the memory of the name and services
of Alexander James Dallas.

As a man of letters — equally conversant with the refine-
ments of elegant literature, and the graver studies incident
to bis professional duties — Hr. Dallas enjoyed great repu-
tation. His contributions to the periodical litoratnte of
the day were numerous, and we have the testimony that

<> His aasajs wOl bear a comparison with those of hb eontempo-
lariea; and thb b no small jnlas, Itar franklin. Rash, and Hop-
kinson were of the number.'

8. Exposition of the Caoses and Character at the late
War, 1815. The author's son, Hon. Qeorge Hifflin Dallas,
proposed in 1817 to publish a collective edition of his
other's works in 3 vols. Among his papers wen some
unfinished sketohes of a history of Pennsylvania, which,
if completed, would, ih>m the author's famUiarity with the
topic and literary abili^, have proved a valuable record
of a most interesting portion of tbe annals of tbe infimt
republic.

Dallaa, Rev. Alexander Robert Charles, one of
the most exemplary and distingnished of the clergy of the
Church of England, is a son of Robert Charles Dallas, Esq.,
(the friend and connexion of Lord Byron,) whose literaiy
laboiirs we shall have occasion to chronicle hereafter. The
subject of this notice served for many years as an officer
in the English army, and was at every enga^ment at which
the Duke of Wellington was present, throughout the Pen-
insular War. He was at the battle of Waterloo, also, as
was his cousin and brother-in-law, Mr. (now the Rev.)
Charles Dallas, who was badly wounded on that perilous
day. After returning to England, Charles Dallas, under
the promptings of religions duty, determined to assume
holy orders, and his example and friendly counsel induced
A. R. C. Dallas to embrace the same sacred calling. The
exemplary piety and unwearied seal in well-doing of these
devoted soldiers of the cross, are well known to the world.
A. R. C. Dallas for several years laboured with great suc-
cess in the work of missions in Ireland. For the following
account of this enterprise, we arc indebted to the Hon.
Judge Eelley, of Philadelphia, who recently spent some
days in the hospitable mansion of the Rev. Mr. Dallas.
Hr. D. is a first-cousin of our distinguished townsman,
George UiOin Dallas, of Pbiladelphia, late Vice-President
of the United States.

" llr. Dallas has uodonbtedly been the eUef agent and supporter
ofthemlssionaiT work in the west of Ireland- Hb first einrts In
this field were In 1S44, since when they have been unremitting,
and have exhibited In a peculiar combination the devotton of tb»
Christian with the actlTlty and discipline of the soldier. Hb first
effort was to establish an effldent body of colporteurs : thb aooom-
pllshed. he obtained the name and post-offloe of every Ikrmer
throughout the region In which hb labours have since been se
eflldent. In January, 1846, ieach of the persons whose addressee
were thus Obtained, 26,000 In number, received copies of the first
of a numerous aerlea of powerAil pamphlets. The first, I bellere,
was entitled * A Voice bom Heaven to Ireland.' Since then Mr.
Dallas, though fidthlU to hb charge at Wonston, and meeting with
great frequency the committees connected with the mlewm st
Exeter Ball — ^has passed a portion of each year In Connanght, and
b personally known and lored by thousands (MT Its Inhabltanta
In 1S47 he sssbted In founding the Connemara Orphan Roase,
which was first filled with thoM whose parents were swept fhna
them by the bmlneandcholersof 1846. Some Idea may be tfannad
of the extent and blessed results of these labours, tram the teet
that 9 churches were consecrated by the ArchbWiop of Tusm la
August, 1B62, the entire oongregstlona of whkh had bat a short
penod belbra been attached to the church of Rome."

Hr. Dallas is the author of many excellent works, the
beneficial infioenoe of which upon the public minif of Great
Britain it would be difllettlt to exaggerate. We annex a
list: 1. Practical Serms. on tbe Lord's Prayer, Lon., 1823,

Dalla8,GeoTKen[ifflin,LL.D.,b. July 10,1792,in the
eity ef Philadelphia, la a aon of Alexander Jamea Dallaa, a
natire of Jamaica, and one of the moat distinguiahad and
naefnl of Ameriea'a adopted aona, (c. ante.) Indeed, in
but few familiea hare ao many membera riaen to diatinetion
and eminent public naeiViIneas aa in that of the anbjeet of
this notice. Hia grandfather. Dr. Dallaa, who emigrated
from Bootlaiii to Jamaica about the middle of the 18th
esntmry, was one of the moat prominent profeaaora of the
liartieBlar branch of acience to which hia energiea were de-
Totsd. Of hia four aona, Robert Charlea Dallaa became
one of the moat roluminoua and naeful writers of hia age ;
and Alexander Jamea Dallaa, Secretary of the Treasury
•nd Seeretarr of War of the Federal Republic, deaervedly
seqnired by hia public aarrieea a commanding poaition in
tlieeyesof the American people. Their aiater, Miaa Dallaa,
married Capt Byron of the Engliah nary, and wan mother
of the present and seventh Lord Byron. To the aame
fkmily belonged the distinguished brothers. Sir George
Dallas, whose political writings were ao warmly admired
1>y William Pitt, and Sir Robert Dallas, President Judge
<rf the Court of Common Pleas. Nor have the wisdom of
the Bench and the deliberations of the councils only, been
Indebted to this House : in the Church it is ably represented
\ij thoae excellent religioua inatmctora through Uie pulpit
and the preaa, the Rev. Alexander Robert Charlea Dallaa,
and ReT. Charlea Dallaa, who, after gaining military laurela
bi the Peninsula and at Waterloo under Wellington, are
BOW aealonaly engaged in the promotion of the Iwat inte-
IMts of the human race.

Of the three aona of Alexander Jamea Dallas, the eldeat
tose to the rank of Commodore in the American navy, the
third was the late Judge Dallas of Pittsburg, and the
■eoond, George Mifflin Dallas, after oeenpying many pub-
Be potitiona, waa, in I844> elected to the Vice-Preaidency
of the Vnited States. The particular incidents connected
wUb Mr. Dallas's career, which belong to political rather
than to litnaty histoiy, will not be expected in thia volume.
The reader wul Ind an excellent biographical aketoh in
the National Portrait Gallarr, Phila., 1863 ; and hia viait
to Bngland whilst yet a youth is noticed by hia noble con-
nexion, Lord Byron the poet, in hla correapondence with
Bobert Charles Dallas. We may mention an amusing in-
stance of the eady display of tliat principle of sturdy de-
moeiaey for which llr. Dallas has been diatinguiahed
tbiongh lifb. Upon hia arrival in England he called upon
and paid his reapecta to hia diatinguiahed connexion. Lord
Oeorge Gordon Byron, and awaited a call in reply. Hia
ooelo, B. 0. Dallas, informed him that peers were not in

the habit of retnming visits to thoae of inferior rank to
their own, and that it waa kit place to viait hia lordship.
But the young republican declared that he ahould not call
again nnleaa hia first visit were ntnmed. Lord Byron was
not a little amuaed by thia practical exhibition of repub-
licanism, and complied with the code tbna recommended to
him, and invited Mr. Dallas to viait him at Newstead.

men of proper spirit, from nnhappy Fimnee ; and he deter-

the United States to induce a permanent settlement, and
he returned to England, where he entered upon an extended
literary career, for which his talents eminently fitted him.
Bis best-known work — pnbli>hed shortly before his death —

is the Recollections of Lord Byron. Mr. Dallas was related «„. u..^ « _. ~~ — - — — im.r,„„._ i. '.....j

"Although tbe Abridgment Is a work of great Uhonr, and ana»

yet it lias never been a great fevonrite wllh the profession, fkom
the want of method which pervades the entire work. It was Tsln-
able when first published, but Is now nearly superseded as a book
of reference, and no one thinks of reading It as an elementary trea-

" The works of 8amnel Daniel contains somewhat a Hat vet

Gabriel Harvey, in bis Four* Letters and Certaine Son-
nets, praises our author for his efforts to enrich and polish
Us native tongue.

" One whose memory will ever be fresh In the mlndi of those who
flivonr history or poetry. . . . But however his Genius was qnall-
8ed liir Poetry, I take his History of Kngland to be the Crown of
all his Works."— XdR^ijatiK'i Dramatick BxU, 1091.

" His Aither was a master of muslek ; and his harmonicas mind
made an imprewlon on his son's genius, who proved an exquisite
noet He carried in hln Christian and samame, two holy prophets,
his monitors so to qualify his raptures, that he abhorred an pro-
phaneoeas. He was alioa Judldons histotlan, witness his Uvea of
our English Kings since the conquest until Edward III., wherein
he hath the happiness to reconcile brevity with clearness, qualities
of great distance In other autbon. ... In his old age he turned
husbandman, and rented a Ikrm In Wiltshire, nigh the Devises.
I can give no account how he Ihrlred thereupon. For though he
was well versed In Virgil, hli fellow-husbandman-poet yet there
is more required to makes rich hrmer, than only to my his Oeorglcs
by heart; and I question whether his Italian will flt onr English
husbandry. Bealdes, I suspect that Mr. Daniel's ikncy was too floe
and sublimated to he wronght down to his private proflt"— jUlsr'i
Tfbrthia.

" Though very nirely sublime, he ban skill in the pathetic ; and
Ui pages are disgraced with neither pedantry nor conceit We find,
both In his poetry and prose, surh a legitimate and rational flow
of language as approaches nearer the style of the l^tii than the
16th century, and of which we may safely assert, that it never will
become obsolete. . . . In his Complaint of Cleopatia he has caught
Ovid's manner very happtlr." — HsAOLir.

'*The cluraeter of Daniel's genius seems to be propriety, mtber
than elevation. His language Is generally pore and harmonious;
and his reflections are Just But bis thoughts are too abstract,
and appeal rather to the nnderstandlug than to the imagination
or the heart; and he wanted the Are necessary to the loftier flights
of poetry." — SlH Eoerto!* RRrrKiER.

London. He was a pupil of Prof. Brmnde, and in 1816, in
connexion with him, he commenced the Qaarterly Joumsl
of Science and Art, the first twenty vole, of which were pnb.
under their joint superintendence. In 1823 ^peaied the
1st ed. of his great work, entitled Meteorological Essays;
2d ed., 1827; 3d ed., 1845, 2 vols. 8ro. He was engaged
in revising the proofs of the 3d ed. at the time of his death.

" This was the first synthetic attempt to explain the g«"^
principles of meteorolo^ by the known laws which regulate ue
temperature and constitution of gaeea and vapours, aiMi in which

I Moeh of what might otherwise have been said here relative
to the brilliant and intellectual circle in which Fanny Bur-
ney moved fVam her childhood has been anticipated in onr
article upon Dr. Bumey. We may add that the circum-
stances attendant npon the composition and anonymous
publication of Evelina are too well known to claim repeti-
tion. The oil-told story was never so well told as by the
authoress herself, in her avowal to George III. Some doubt
has been expressed relative to the early date at which it is
asserted Evelina was composed. It certainly was not given
to the woiid nntil 1778, when Fanny was about twenty-six.
Had the work, or the greater portion of it, l>een lying in
MS. for nine years ? Evelina was sold for £20 ; but this
was a small part only of the young lady's reward.

** Xvellna seems a vork that should result from long expenenea
and deep and Intimate knowledge of tbe world: yet It has been
witttsn without either. Hiss Bumey Is a real wonder. What she
la, ehe is IntulUvelv. Dr. Bumey told me she had the fewest ad-
vantagaa of any of bis daughters, nom some peculiar drcumataoaoe.
And such baa been her timidity, that he himself had not any nu-
pldon of her powers. . . . Modesty with her Is neither pretence
nor decorum; It la an Ingredient of her nature; Ibr she who could
part with such a work far twenty pounda, could know so Uttla of
its worth or of her own, as to leave no pceslble doubt of bar ho-
mfUty," — Dr. JoBffSOK.

The testimony of a still more distinguished person shall
be adduced in favour of the merits of Cecilia, pub. fbor
years later :

In 1786 occurred the most unfortunate event of Miss
Bnrney's Life — her appointment to the post of Second
Keeper of the Rol>es to Queen Charlotte. From this in-
tolerable slavery — for slavery it was, notwithstanding tha
kind treatment of her royal patrons — she was relieved in
1791, and in 1793 she married a French reftigee offleer, the
Count D'Arhlay. In 1802 she accompanied her husband to
Paris, and was obliged to remain in France — the Count hav-
ing entered the army of Napoleon — nntil 1812. He died
in that year, and their son, the Rev. A. D'Arhlay of Cam-
den Town chapel, near London, followed his fattier to the
grave in 1832. Madame D'Arblay attained tiie great age
of eighty-eight, dying at Bath in 1840. Her other produc-
tions, which by no means iUfliled "the promise of her
spring," were Edwin and Elgitha, a Tragedy, 1795; Ca-
milla, whioh was pub. by subscription in 17S6, and paid
her three thousand guineas; and The Wanderer, a Tale in
StoIs., 1814, forwhich she received £1500. She also pub.
Brief Reflections relative to the French Emigrant Clergy,
1793, 8vo; and a Memoir of her father. Dr. Bumey, in
1832, 3 vols. 8vo.

The Diary and Letters of Hadame D'Arblay were given
to the world in 7 vols. p. 8vo, 1842-46. The unreserved
and oomprebensire character of the lady's Journal may 1m
inferred fVom her prologue :

** To have some account of my thoughts, actions, and aeqnalat-
anoe, when the hour arrives when time is more nimble than me-
mory, Is the reaaott which Induces me to keep a Journal ; — aJowiuU
Ai vhich / stall cerifesf nery thought— thaO open my wAofe hmrt."

Notwithstanding their egotism and prolixity, certainly
these volumes are among Uie most delightful in the lan-
guage! To the mere novel-reader they are charming; to
ue student of literary history and English manners, in-
valuable. We must refer the reader to a review of this
work by T. B. Macaulay, (Edin. Rev., Jan. 1843,) and to
notices of Madame D'Arblay's writings in the London
Qnarterly Review, xi. 123, Ixx. 184, and In Blackwood's
Hagasine, 1. 784 :

"Hiss Burney did t>r the Kngllsb novel what Jeremy OoDler did
fix- the English drama. She first showed that a tale might be
written In which both the asbkmsble and the vulgar lUs of London
migbt be ezblbltad with great finea, and with bread comic humour,
and which yet ahonld not contain a single line Inconsistent with
rigid morality, or even with virgin delicacy. 8he took away the
reprcadi wbldi lay on a moat ussAiI and dallgbtfU species or com-
poattion. 8fae vindicated tbe right ofher sex to an equal share in
a fliir and noble promise of letters. . . . Burke had aat up all night
to roul herwrltlnga, and Johnson had pronounced her superior to
Fielding, when Rogers waa still a schoolboy and Sonthey still in
nattlcoata. ... We soon discovered to onr great delight that this
Diary waa kept be«>re Madame I>'Arblay beeaae eloquent It la,
fi>r the moat part, written In her earliest and best manner; in true
woman's English, clear, natural, and Urely."- T. B. MAOauUT:

brief extract:

" Her works are deficient in original vigour of eonceptlon, and
her characters In depth and nature. Slw has considered so anx-
iously the figured silks and tamlKrared muslins which fin tter about
society, that slie has made the throbblngs of the hearts which they

Darwin, Erasmns, M.D., 1731-1802, waa a native
of Blton, near Newark, Nottinghamshire. He studied both
at St John's College, Cambridge, and at Edinburgh, and
having ehosan the profession of medicine, practised first
at Northampton, and subsequently at Lichfleld, where he
aequired a profitable praotioe. Being left a widower, be
waa married in 1781 to Mrs. Colonel Pole, by whose ia-
flnenoe he waa induced to retire to Derby, where he died
■nddenly in 1802. Dr. Darwin eiyoyed considerable repu-

" Bis mother waa a very beautiful woman, of a good wit and

Ing, yet he made as high and noble flights in the poetical fkenlbr,
as fency could advance, without iV—AOen. Oam., Bli—'t eo.,
lU. 802.

On quitting oollege he obtained the place of page to the
celebrated Duchess of Richmond, and snbseqnenUy resided
in the honsehold of Sir Fnlke QreTiUe, Lord Brooke, by
whose death in 1628 he was once more thrown upon his
own resources. In the same year appeared his Tragedy
of Albovine, King of the Lombards, pub. 1629, 4to. To
this sacoeeded The Just Italian, a Play; and The Cruel
Brother, a Tragedy, both pub. 1629, 4to. The aneoess of
these pieces, and other compositions, (see a list of his pro-
ductions in Lowndes's Bibl Manual,) gave the author a
position among the wits of the day, and in 1637 he suo-
oeeded Ben Jonson aa poet laureate. In 1641 ha became
involved in the political dilBcnlties which entangled most
of the principal man of the time. Of eonrse he was a royal-
ist, and for his efforts on behalf of the nnfortunate mon-
arch he waa for some time imprisoned, and was glad to
retire to France. After a short residence abroad, he le-
turned to England, and served with the royaUst foreae as
lieutenant-general of the ordnance at the siege of Oloneas-
ter. At this period he was knighted by King Chaiiee.
Again repairing to France, he was honoured with the eon-
fidence of Queen Henrietta Maria, and intrusted by her
with a oommunicaUon to Charles. Davenant saw no pro-
mise of brighter times at home; and therefore determined
to try his fortune in the New World. The vessel in whieh
he sailed with his company of meehanios and weavers was
seised by an English man-of-war, and our poetical knight
found himself for the socond time a prisoner. Whilst con-
fined in Cowes Castle, ho finished the first part of the poem
of Gondibert. He was now removed to the Tower of Lon-
don, and would probably have fared badly in addition to
his two years' imprisonment, bad not Milton nobly exerted
himself to procure his enlargement. It ia said that this
debt of gratitude waa repaid at the Restoration, when Mil-
ton waa beholden for his safety to the influence of his
brother poet. Davenant now employed himself in the in-
troduction of such dramatic entertainments — partalring of
the choraoter of the opera — as the taste of the age, or the
forbearance of the rulers, rendered practicable. "The re-
mainder of his life seems to have passed in the quiet en-
joyment of his literary tastes, and the admiring appreoia-
tion of his contemporaries. He was honoured with a last
resting-place in Westminster Abbey, and the Mpnlchral
marble was not thonght unworthy of the expressive eid-
taph whieh had previously been applied to his successor in
the honours of the laurel : — " 0 Rare Sir William Daven-
ant" the poet would have considered aa ample reward for
his literary exertions. A collective edition of his works
was pab. in folio, 1672, '73. Gondibert — ^by which the an-
ther's name is best known — is a heroic poem, the events
of which are supposed to have occurred in the reign of
Aribert, King of Lombardy, 663-661. By some of the
principal poets of the day, Cowley and Waller being of the
nnmber, it was rapturously applauded; by others it was so
warmly attacked, that the author felt it incumbent on him
to defend himself from their censures. He had no heart
to continue a theme so littie appreciated, and Oondibert
was left to posterity in an anflnished state. See Disraeli's
Quarrels of Authors ; Miscellanies in Prose by Aikln and
Barbauld; Retrospective Review, (Lon., 1820,) iL S04-S4S
prefatory remarks to voL iv. of Anderson's British Poati:
Headley's Select Beauties ; Hard's Letters on ChivalrTand
Romance; Biog. Brit; Halone's History of the Stage.
Gondibert has now bnt few leaders. The four-lined stania
with alternate rhymes is not a fltvonrita measure, and six
thousand lines of such, in a solid phalanx, preeent an ap-
pearance suiBoienUy formidable to repel ordinary raadei*.
Yet those who thus neglect the bnlkytomes of old English
poetry littie know what they lose. With mnch that may
fw spared, there is much also which is admirably calculated
to charm the imagination, to delight the fimcy, and to im-
prove the heart. If it were only to e^Joy the exquisite
skotoh of the Character and Love of Birtha, would it not

dibert? But we ate extending this article nnwamuitaUyi

David, Ap Gwillam, a famons Welsh bard, is noted
for having insoribed 147 poems to the fair Morvid. Such
a deluge was too much for her constancy — if indeed she
ever favonred the poet — and she was mairied to a soldier
named Rhys Gwgan, who had distinguished himself at tha
battle of Crecy. So, in this case, the favourite maxim of
authors wai disproved, — the Sword outweighed the Fen.

Davidson, Lncretia Maria, 1808-1825, a native
of Plattsbnrg, New York, was the daughter of a physician.
Before she was six years of age she wrote quite a number
of original poetical compositions, which were accidentally
discovered, having been eorafnlly concealed in a closet sel-
dom visited. Her first poem which has been preserved,
was written when she was nine years old. The earliest of
her productions which has been published was written at
eleven years of age. Before she was twelve years old she
had read much of Shakspeare, Eotiebne, and Goldsmith,
many of the standard English poets, and several histo-
rians. Such remarkable precocity of course excited much
observation, and when abont 16 years of age, by the kind-
ness of Mr. Moss Kent, she was placed at the excellent
seminaiy of Mrs. Willud, at Troy. This lady, who has
done so much to educate the female mind in America —
whose name is so familiar to many mothers who are now ^
communicating to their children the intelleotnal and moral
lessons acquired ^m their former preceptor — ^immediately
recognised the peculiar oharaetaristios of the mind con-
fided to her guidance. She remarks :

"She at once surprised us by the brilliancy and pathos of her
compositions ; she evinced a most exquisite sense of tha bcautifnl
In the prodoetiotts of her pencil; always giving to whatever she
attempted to copy certain peculiar and mginsJ touches which
marked the liveliness of her conceptions, and the power of lier
genius to embody thoee conceptlona But ftom studies which re-
quired calm and steady Investigation, efforts of memonr, Judgment
and conseeutlve thinking, her mind seemed to shrink. She had
no confidence In herael( and appeared to regard with dismay any
requlsitioiis of tliii nature."

During the vacation — a few months after her reception
into Mrs. Willard's household — she suffered from ill health,
but rallied snfBciently to be placed at a school in Albany,
where it was hoped she might be able to oontinne her stn-

mm. Bnt it waa ioob appamt that lier life waa not-to '
1m prolonged. Tlia nnfaroHable sTrnptoniB whicl> had
alannad th* anxiety of lier family and frienda now deve-
loped themaelrea with inoraaaed atiength, and leanltod ik- |
tally on the 37th of Angnat, 1625, ene month before abe
had attained the age of 17. So great waa her facility in i
oompoaition, that ahe left no leaa than two hnndred and |
aSTenty-eight pieeaa, (abont one hnndred and fbrty had j
been deatroyed before her death,) among which were Are '
poema of aereral oantoa each, a nnmber of romancea, and
a tragedy.

A collection of her pieoea, with a memoir, waa pnb. in
1820, by Mr. Samnel F. B. Morae, under the title of Amir
Khan and other Poema : the Remaini of Lneretia Maria
DaTidaon. An interesting review of thia Tolnme by Ro-
bert Bonthey will be foond in the London Qaajpterly Re-
view, zlL 289. Miaa Catherine M. Sedgwick also baa pnb.
a biography of her life and character, and the reader will
find intereating notioea of Lneretia M. and Margaret M.
Davidson in Br.Oriswold'a Female Poeta of America, and
in Mra. Hale'a Reeorda of Woman.

" In the« poams thara la enoogh of originality, enongh of upl-
xatlon, enough of conKioua energy, enough of growing power, to
warrmnt any expectations, however sanguine, which the natron,
and tbe friends and patents of the decmsed could have ibrmed.
... In our own language, except in the cases of Chstterton and
KlrlEe White, we ean aU to mind no Instance of so earlj, so ardent,
and 80 Iktal a purauit of intellectual advancement." — ^Bobkbt
BosTHav, uW supra.

DaTidson, JHarparet Miller, 1823-1838, waa a aia-
tar of the preceding, and diatingniahed by the aame re-
markable precocity of intellect and fkcility in literary
oompoaition. At the early age of aix years ahe found
great delight in the pemaal of the poema of Milton, Oow-
per, Thomaon, Scott, and other anthora of the same claaa.

"By the time abe waa aix yeara old," remarka her mo-
tter, "her langtiage aaanmed ui elevated tone, and her
mind aeemed fiUed with poetic imagery, blended with veina
of religioua thought.'' Alwnt this time she commenced
" lisping in numlwra," and apeeimena of her poetry then
written will be found in Washington Irving's charming
Memoir of. thia wonderfU child, for ahe waa bnt fifteen
yeara and eight montha old when translated to a brighter

2>bere. Of the beautiful stanaaa addreaaed to her sister
noretia, Mr. Irving remarks :

"We may have read poetry mora artificially perfbet in tta atruo.
tors, bnt never any more truly divine In its tnsptratlon.'*

Leonore is the longest of her poems; (the volume just
fBOted contains aome of her proae compositiona, alao :)

" It la a story of romantic love, liapiiUy coaoelved, and Ulustreted
with seme 8ne touches of aentlmeDt and isncy. It ia a ertdltable
wodnetlom and would entitle a much older author to conaldera-
Iton; but ita beat pasaages scarcely equal some of her earlier and
leaa elaboiate peribrmancea.** — Orisvyotd'i Rmale J^iett qf Amerieck.

Mra. Davidson had drank deeply of the cup of affliction ;
few eould lose anch a daughter aa Lucretia Maria : — but it
waa much that her little sister — then not quite two yeara
old — waa left to comfort the stricken parent. When only
three yeara of age the child would sit "on a cushion at her
nothor'a feet, listening to anecdotes of her sister's life, and
details of tbe events which preceded her death ,* and would
often exclaim, while her face beamed with mingled emo-
tloDS, ' Oh, I will try to All her place — teach me to bo like
her I'"

Her prayer had been granted. She had grown up to
npply her aiater's place, and had evinced tbe poaaeaaion
of powera calculated to honour her name and bloaa her
race — when abe too waa called to be numbered with the
"early lost, tbe long deplored." Again the fond mother
liad to paaa through the afflicting scenes from which she
liad idready suffered so deeply. Some four yeara after she
had followed Margaret to the grave, she remarks in a letter
to the author of this work — referring to an incident which
had recently transpired —

"I will not attempt to deacrlbe fteltnga which brought betbre
my mind's eye with all the fresbneas of yesterday, some of the
most deeply touching Inddenta In my sorrowing and varied Hlb,
with cherished and sacred recollections of the dear one wbo, like a
bright draam, baa AMled away Irom my eight in this world ftiever r

The reader mast not fail to peruse the deepW interesting
memoir by Mr. Irving before referred to. We may fitly
eonolude this sketch in his own words :

" We Shan not pretend to comment on theae reeords; thOT need
no comment, and tltey admit no heightening. Indeed, tlie nrtber
we hare proceeded with our anUect, the more has the Intellectual
beauty and tlie seraphic pnrity of the little being we have Intended
to commemorate broken upon us ; and the more have we shrunk
at our own unwortblness for such a taak."

nriewa of Miaa Sedgwick's and Mr. Irving's biographies,

fol.j Lon., 1628, '78, (in French;) 4th ed., 1762, (in Eng-
lish,) Dublin, 8to. These were the first reports of Irish
Judgments which had ever been made public during the
400 years that the laws of England had existed in that
kingdom. The preiiaee to these reports, which is " a very
learned and eloquent eulogium" on the Common Law of
England, and a vindication of Its professors, "vies with
Coke in solidity and learning, and equals Blaokstone in
classical illustration and elegant language."

In addition to the above-noticed works, and some Essays,
Ac., Sir John pub. an abridgt of Coke's Beports, and a
number of historical and political tracts. George Chal-
mers pub. in 1786, 8vo, an edit of his Historical Tracts;
the best known of which is A Discoveric of the Trve Cavses
why Ireland was neuer entirely subdued, nor brought nn-
der Obedience to the Crowne of Snglond, until the begin-
ning of his M^esty's Baigne, Lon., 1612, 4to; Dnbl., 1664,
'66, 8vo; 1704, fol.; Lon., 1747, 12mo. It would be dilB-
oidt to commend this performance too highly :

"The very best view of the political state of Ireland tmm the
reign of Henry II. to that of James 1." — Bishop NicoLsoir.

"A. great per«>rmanoe: a masterly work, and contains much
depth and extensive knowledge In state matters and settling at
oountrles. In a very shori compass."— Eabl oi Coathiii.

In versatility of talent, brilliancy of imagination, pa.
litical wisdom, and literaiy taste, few Englishmen have
equalled Sir John Davies.

_ Davy, Sir Hnmphry, Bart., 1778-1829, was a na-
tive of Pensance, Cornwall. After serving an apprentice-
ship to a snrgeon and apotheoaty, he became, at the age at
20, assistant to Dr. Beddoes in the Pneumatic Institutisn
at BristoL In 1799 Dr. Beddoes pub. a work entitled Con-
tributians to Physical and Medical Knowledge, principally
tnm the West of England. To this collection young Davy
contributed Essays on Heat, Light, Respiration, Gas, and
Colours. In 1803 he became a Fellow of t^e Royal So-
ciety, in 1806 Secretary, and in 1820 President, of that
distinguished body. In 1812 he was married to Mrs.
Apreece, a lady of largo fortune. In 1816-17 ho contri-
buted to Phil. Trans, the celebrated papers on the Miner's
Safety Lamp, for which useful invention the coal proprie-
tors of the district of the Tyne and Wear presented him
with a service of plate wortli £2000. In 1818, '19, he tra-
velled in Italy, lealously pursuing his scientific investiga-
tions, and during his absence was created a baronet. He
again travelled on the Continent in 1827, hoping to benefit
his impaired health, but he experienced only temporary
relief, and died of apoplexy at Geneva in 1829. For an
account of the brilliant discoveries of this distinguished
benefactor to science, we must refer the reader to the bio-
graphies by his brother. Dr. John Davy, and Dr. Paris. In
additions to Six Discourses delivered before the Royal So-
ciety at their Anniversary Meetings, he was the author of
more than fifty Treatises and Lectures upon subjects of
scientific invesUgation. He was also a poet as well aa a
philosopher, and bis powers as an essayist are displayed to
great advantage in his Conaolations of Travel, and Days
of Fly Fishing.

"Had not Bary been the first chemist," remarked OolerMge to
Mr. Poole, " he probably would have been the first poet of Ills age."

"Who that has read his sublime quatrains on the doctrine of
Bpinosa can duubt that he might have united, If he bad pleased.
In some great didactic poem, the vigorous ratiocination of Diyden,
and the moral majeaty of Wordsworth."^LocxHAaT.

that the current of scieotlfle Inveatlgatlon, which baa led to aoch

an example, and a pleaaing one, that the lightest pursuits of anch

In which lassitude succeeds to pain, are more intereating and In-

**llie book enjoyed some little popularltj; but scarcely added

It woald lie difficult to exaggerate the value of Sir Ham-
phry's contributions to science. Whilst yet but a youth,
officiating as aaaistant to Dr. Beddoes,

** He discovered the remaiicable action of nitrous oxide, or langli-
Ing gas, on the system, and thus paved the way to the sppllcallon
of those means now in use for slleTlatlng pain in severe opera-
tiona ... In 1806 be made the Important discovery that the oom-
biaations and decompceitiona by electricity are refeiable to the
law of electrical attiactionsand repulsions, and thus demonstrated
the Intimate connection between eleetrirlty and chemistry. His
most brilliant discovery was, Itowerer, that of; In 1S07, the compo-
sitlon of the alkaliea, which he proved to be comhlnatlons of oxy-
gen with metals. In 1810 he found chlorine to be a simple body.

"Since the age of Sir Isaac Kewton, the History of British
Sdenoe has recorded no discoveriee of equal iraportanee with

1650, 12mo. See Abrholk, Elias.

Dee, Joha, I527-I60R, was one of the most remark-
able characters of a remarkable age. His genius waa of
10 oomprehenaive a description, that be oould alternately
devote his attention to the speculations of philosophy, the
leasona of divinity, the problems of mathematics, the ex.
periments of chemistry, the mysteries of astrology, and the
tneantations of magic When only IS, he was, he tells as,
"meetly well famished with understanding of the Latin
tongue," and entering St John's College, Cambridge, " I
waa so vehemently bent to study, that for theae yeara
[1543-45] I did inviolably keep this order: only to sleep
four hours every night; to allow to meat and drink, and
soma refreshments after, two hours every day; and of the
other eighteen hours, all, except the time of going to, and
being at, the divine service, waa spent in my studies and
learning."

In 1547 he vlaited Flandera, and on hia return was made
Fellow of Trinity College. His devotion to astronomy
drew upon him the suspicion of being a reader of the stars,
and he found it expedient to return to the University of
Lonvain, where he Decame highly distinguished. He sab-
■eqnently visited Paris, and delivered lectures upon Eu-
olid, which gave so much satisfaction that he was invited
to accept the mathematical professorship of the Universi^.

eessfU, and rare the author a great repntation. Three
years later, the publication of The Shortest Wa; with the
Diiuenters, inTolred Do Foe in great trouble.

*' In this playful ploee of Ironjr, the author gmvely proposed, a«
the eaniefit and speadlefftwaj of^riddinK the laud of DWoteni, to
hanj; their ministers and banish the people. But both Church-
men and Dissenters Tiewed the whole In a serious liKht ; and while
many of the former applauded tbe author ana staunch and worthy
Churchman, as many of ,.tbe latter, filled with apprehensions dire,
henn to .prepare (br Tyburn and Smlthileld."

The High Church party, however,, wan not disposed to
tolerate irony; the Hoose of Commons deolared the bool(
a lihel, and ordered it to be burnt by the hands of tbe
common hangman ; and the lealous polemic was invited to
assume a prominent position in the pillory. Pope thus
nfers to this unpalatable exaltation :

** Karlefis on hlgn stood unabashed De Foe." — Dunciad,

The sufferer himself displayed his ef^uanimity by indit-
ing a hymn to the pillory, which he describes as
" A hieroglyphic state-machine
Oondesniied to punish fitney in."

'WhilsC imprisoned in Newgate, where he was eonfined
for two years, he pub. a periodical paper called The Ro-
Tiew. In 1706 he again entered the political fiold by his
Esaay at removiag Prerjndioes against an Union with Scot-
land, and in 1709 pub. his celebrated History of the Union.
Tbe last of his political tracts was An Appeal to Honour and
Justice, intended as a hint to the House of Hanover of the
oblintions due to the neglected writer, A proper reward
for his servieas wonld have been Tory acceptable to the
author, for he seldom prospered in trade, and often knew
the bitterness of pecuniary embarrassment. Among his
best-known works, which amount in number to at least
210 — Wilson thinks some hare escaped him, and -see
Lowndas's Bibl. Msui., Watt's Bibl., and Biog. Brit. — are
the following: Robinson Cnisoe, (first pnb. in 1719;) A
New Voyage round tbe World; The Life of Captain Sin-
gleton ; The Adrentures of Rozana ; tbe Hist, of Ihinoan
Campbell; The Life of Moll Flanders; The Life of Colo-
nel Jack; Tbe Memoirs of a Cavalier during the Civil
Wars in England : Religions Conrtship ; A Journal of the
Plagne in 1S65 ; The Political Hist, of the Devil and A
System of Magic; A Relation of the Apparition of one
Mrs. Veal ; A Tour through England and Scotland ; An
Essay on the Treaty of Commerce with France ; A Pfan
of the English Commerce ; Giving Alms no Charity. Of
the last two works an eminent authority remarks :

'The Flan oftheKnglish Commerce Is full ofloromiatlon: and,
tbewh deenltofy, is ably written, and contains sundry paseafres
in whleb the influenoe of trade and industry in piomotlng the
well-belag of the laboorlng classes and tbe public wealth Is set In
the meet strlkloK point of view. . . . GWlnij Alms no Charity is
written with considerable clevemess. . . . But these arffuments
are not so conclusWeas some hare supposed. . . . The truth Is,
that In nutters of this sort De Foe was quite ns prejudiced and
porUlnil as the bnik of tboee around Mm. lie had not read, or
if he had read, be had plainly, at all erents, profited nothing by,
tlie conclusive reasonlnn In the Tiact on the East India Trade,
previously referred ta See p. 100."— ifcCVriMA'i LU. of I'olit. Bean.

Another authority entitled to great respect, remarks :

** As a commercial writer, De Foe Is &lrly entitled to stand in
the fcremost rank among hie contemporari^ whatever may be
tlieir performanees or their bme. . . . Ills distinguishing charao-
teristica are orlglnallty and deptli. He has many sentimeuts with
regard to tralUck, whkh are scattered through his Bevlews, and
which I never read In any other book."— Omroe CKo/meri'f Lift
ilfDcfbt, Urn. 1790, Sro.

An ed. of the novels of De Foe was pub. in Edinburgh
in 1810, 12 vols. 8vo. Works, with Memoir of his Life and
Writings by W. Hailitt, Lon. 1840-4.^, S vols. 8vo. Mis-
cellaneous Works, with Memoir, Literary Prefaces, Tllns-
trative Notes, Ac. by Sir Walter Scott and others, (Tal-
boy's ed.,) Oxford, 1840-41, 20 vols. 12mo. This ed. is
now very scarce. It was pnb. at £5. The reader must
not fail to procure that interesting work, Tbe Life and
Times of Daniel Do Foe, with Review of his Writings and
Opinions on Important Matters, by Walter Wilson, Lon.
1830, 3 vols. 8vo.

" I have given your volnnee a earaflil pematl, and thw have
taken their degree of classical books on ray shelves. De rt» was
always my darling ; but wtiat darkness was I in as to Ikr the larger
part of his writings I 1 have now an epitome of them all." — C. Lamb.

Befora quoting some testimonies to De Foe's general
merits as an anther, and notices of particular works, it will
ba only proper to cite some opinions upon that delightful
romance — among the first and last of our literary luxuries
— Bobinson Crusoe.

'De Fee has been charged with surreptltionBly appropriating
tbe paponi of Alexander Selkirk to the formation of his celebrated
work ; but the chatge, though repeatedly and confidently brought,
appears to be destitute of fbundatlon." — Pakk.

Howell's Life and Adventures of Selkirk must not be
neglected by tbe reader.

" As this is the latest, so It Is the most authentic, aeeount of
Selkirk, and embraces a variety of particulars relating to bis pei^
Bonal history, never before communicated to tbe public. It is an
elegant little volume, and will be read with interest by every ad*
mirer of Robinson Crusoe." — Wilton'l Mrmotr of Ban id De Ae.

Other accounts of Selkirk will he found in his own nar-
ration, entitied Providence Displayed, printed from Capt.
Woodes Rogers's Croising Voyage round the World, 1712.
Sec Isaac James's publication of Providence Displayed,
Lon., 1800, 12mo— in Capt Edw. Cooke's Voyage, 1712,
p. 34 ; in the Englishman, by Sir Rd. Steele, No, 26 ; and
in Collet's Relics of Litaratnre, 341-44.

Robinson Crusoe first appeared in a periodical pnblioa-
tion entitled The Original London Post, or Heatheote's
Intelligencer, Nos. 125 to 289 inclusive, in 1719. Its suc-
cess was so great, that four edits, were pub., 3 in 2 vols.
8ro, and an abridgt in 12mo, in the same year. In 1720,
8vo, appeared Serious Reflections during the Life and Ad-
ventures of Robinson Crusoe : with hia Vision of the An-
gelic World. This was intended as a third vol. to Robin-
son Crusoe, bnt was not so well received. Of the many
eds. of Crusoe, we may especially notice Tyas's illustrated
one, pub. in about 40 Nos., with engravings ttoia designs
by Granville, and an ed. of 1820, 2 vols. 8vo, with engrav-
ings by Charles Heath, from designs by Mr. Stothard.

" If ever the late Mr. Stothard entered more warmly upon any
one of his labonra than another, these lllustratl4DS to HotdnsoB
Crusoe have that honour; ooBpoeed at a time when he was In
flillest posaessioa of hie powers, there is a charm about them
which no otlier book illustrations nossesa. They ara as nulqne In
their my as the book they adorn.''

. ^ RoUneon Omsoe must be allowed, by the most rigid moralist^
to be one of these novels which one may read, not only with plea--
sure, but also with profit. It breathes thronghont a spirit of
piety and benevolence; it sets in a very striking light the Im-
portanoe of the mechanie arts, whieh they who know not what It
is to be without them are apt to undervalue. It fixes in the mind
a lively Idea of the horrors of solitude, and, consequently, of the
sweets of social life, and of the blessings we derive from conversa-
tion and mutnal aid ; and it shows how by labouring with one's
own hands, one may aecnre Indopendenoe, and open fbr one's sdf
many sources of health and amusement. 1 agree, therefore, with
Rousseau, that this Is one of the best books that can be put Into
the hands of children." — Dr. BmttUt Moral and Critical Ditter-
iationt.

We qnote from Bonsseau's opinion, referred to by Dr. ,
Beattie :

'* As we must have hooks, there Is one already written, whkh.
In my opinion. afTords a complete treatise on natural edncatlon.
This book shall bo the first Emilias shall read: In this. Indeed,
will, ft>r a long time, consist his whole library, and It will always
hold a distinguished place among others. It will afford as the
text to which all our conversations on the Directs of natural
science will serve only as a comment. It will serve us as our
guide during our progress to a state of reason ; and will ever
afterwards give us constant pleasure, unless our taste be wholly
vitiated.

lish trans. 1797, 12ino.

" Was there ever any thing written by mere man. that the reader
wished longer, except Robinson Crusoe, Don Quixote, and the
PHgrini's Progress t" — Da. Saml. Johnson.

" How happy that this, the most moral of romances, is not only
the most charming of books, bnt also the most Instructive. " —

QtALMERS.

*' Robinson Crusoe Is dellghtftil to all ranks and classes. It Is
capital kitchen reading, and equally worthy fWnn its deep interest,
to find a place in the libraries of the wealthiest and the most
learned."— CHASiis LAm.

*' Perhaps there exists no work, either of Instmetlon or enters
tainment. In the English tengosge, which has been more gene-
rally read, and more nnlverally admired, than the Life and Ait
ventures of Robinson Crusoe. It Is difficult to say in what the
charm consists, by wfakrh persons of all classes and denominations
are thus flucinated; yet the majority of readera will recollect It as
among the first works that awakened and Interested their youth-
ful attention ; and feel, even In advanced life, and in the maturity
of their understanding, that there are still associated with Robin-
son Crasoe, the sentiments peculiar to that period, when all Is
new, all glittering In preq>ect. and when those visions are most
bright, which the experience of alter lUb tends only to darken and
destroy." — gia TV'ALTZa goon.

We shall now qnotc some opinions of a few of onr an-
thor's other works, and of his peculiar excellencies as an
author :

■* De Foe was employed by Queen Anne on a special mission to
Rcotland respecting the Union. His work Is the most authentic
on the Bulject." — Chalmtbs.

" Hte History of the Union Is sufficient to place the author
among the soiindeat historians of the day."— T. r. Disuni.

**De Foe visited Scotland about the time of the Union, and it Is
evident that tbe anecdotes concerning this unhappy period, must
have been peculiarly Interesting to a man of his liveliness of ima-
gination, vrho excelled all others In dramatizing a story, and pre-
senting It In actual speech and action betbre the reader." — lon.

"While all ages and deecriptioni of people hang delighted over |
Boblnaon Crusoe, and shall continue to do so. we trust, while the
wortd lasts, how few compamtlvely wlU bear to be told, that there
•zjst other flctitioua narrativea by the same writer— four of them
at least of no Inferior Interest : Roxana— Singleton— Holl Flanders
— -Oolonel Jack — are all genuine offlfpring ofthe same fethar. An
unpiaetlaed mldwUS) would swear to the nose, lip, forehead, and
eye of every one of them. They ate, in their way, as Aill of Inci-
dent, and some of them every bit as romantic. . . . We would not
faeeltate to lay, that in no other book of fiction, where the lives of
such characten are described. Is guilt and deltnqnency made leas
seductive, or the vuflerlng made more closely to follow the ecna-
mlaslon, or tha penitence more earnest or more bleeding, or the
Intervening flaabes of religious visitation upon the rude, unln-
•tructed loul, more meltingly and fearfully pidnted.''—C. Lamb.

"Host of onr readers are probably Ikmillar with De Foe's his-
tory of that great calamity (the Plaipie)— a work In which febn-
lous inddents and eircumatanees are combined with authentic nar-
ratlvea, with an art and verisimilitude which no other writer has
ever been able to oommunieate to fletlon. . . . The author of Ro-
falnaon Croaoe was an Bngllabmau, and one of those KngUshmen
who make us proud of the name." — Edin. Rev. xxlv. 321.

** Few men nave been more accurate obeervers of life and maa-
MTi, and of the mechanism of society, than De Foe. . . . His Na-
Tala, In spite of much Impfofaablllty, have been oftener taken for
true nartatlves than any flatima that ever waia oomposad." — ^Zoit.
Quor. Sa. xxlv. 361.

In proof of tha abore sssartion, w« may mention that
the alleged appearance of the apparition of Mrs. Veal waa
believed to be sober matter of faet; the Hemoiie of a Ca-
ralier have been often cited as hiatorieal authority, and were
oredited by Lord Chatham ; the Journal of the Placue wai
beliered by u keen crities as Dr. Head and Dr. Cheyne;
and still more amusing — the track of the pretended Voy-
age round the World was actually laid down in a staid,
dignifled, respectable-looking map ! On the publication of
the Voyage to the World of Cartesius, "scarce mention waa
made of this New World, but an infinite nombar of Frenel^
English, and Dntohmen resolve to go and see IL" p. 1.

annexed qaotation which we italioiie ia therefore wdl

We conelnda with an eloquent tribute to De Foe's mariti
fh>m an authority of the «r»t rank :

" For our part, surroundsd as we an bjr the bustle and ceres tt

Sir Walter Scott thua deines the pathos which affects us
■0 sensibly in the writings of De Foe :

•' Pathos is not De Foe's general chaiacterlstle : he liad too little
delleaey af mind. Whsn It oomee. It eomea uncalled, and to cre-
ated by the dreumstancea, not sought for by the author. The ex-
cess, for Instance, of the natural longing for human society which
Crusoe manifests while on board of the stranded Spanish veseel.
by felling Into a sort of agony, aa he repeated the words, 'Oh that
but one man had been saved I oh that there bad bean but one!' to
in tlw llighest degree pathetic The agonising lefleetlons of the
solltwy, when be Is In danger of being driven to sea, la his lash
attempt to dreumnavlgate bis Island, are aleo afl^tlng."

*' He must be acknowledged as one of the ablest, as he waa one
cf the most eapttvatlng, writers of which this Isle oan boaat" —

In an estimate of the writings of De Foe, the strongly-
marked moral and religions tendency of his compositions
most by no means be forgotten. The eminent authority
Jnst quoted, who, as his biographer, carefblly investigated
the incidents of a troubled life extending to the threescore
and tan years allotted to man, declares as the result of his
investigations that

" The events of his life prove him entitled to the praise of Inte-
grity, duoerlty, and unvaried eonstoteacy." — Sia WuTm Soon.

Another biographer remarks that his review of the life
and wriiings of De Foe had satisfied him that

" Rellgfon was uppermost In his mind; that he reaped Its eon-
aolatloua, and lived under a habitual sense of its piactioal import-
anosL"— Wiuos.

« I am a stolck," says he, " In whatever may be the event of
things, ril do and say what I think to a debt to Justice and truth,
without the least rei^rd to clamour and reproach ; and, as I am
utterly unconcerned at human opinfon, the people that throw
away their bmtta so freely In censuring me may consider of lome
better Improvnnent to make of their passions than to waste them
oo a man that to both above and below the reach of them. I know
too much of the world to expect good In It, and have leamt to value
It too little to be oonosnied at tiie evil. I have gone through a life

as though ha had snapped the thread, and conveyed It b^ond the
reach of Imitation. ^> have a numerous train of foUowen to nau-
ally considered as adding to the repntatlon of a writer : It to a pe-

of nature are apparent, there he to Inacceealble to Imitation. . . .

" But being looked upon as a alow and dreaming young man by
falh seniors and contemporaries, and giving morv to cards and dice
than his study, tbey oouM never then in tWleast Imagine that he
could ever enrich the world with his fluey, or issue of his brain,
as he afterwards did." — Woon.

This habit of gaming olong to him in after life, to his
great loss and disgrace. He was mods Qovemor of Fan>-
ham Castle by Charles 1. ; his fortunes were depressed dar-
ing the Commonwealth, revived in the Restoration. In
1641 he pub. his Tragedy of the Sophy, whieh elicited tha
enthusiastic oommeDdotioD of Waller, who remarks of the
author, that

" He broke out like the Irish Rebellion, threaaoora thousand
strong, when nobody was aware, or in the least suspected it**

In 1643 appeared his poem-of Cooper's Hill, whieh esta-
blished his reputation as an author. Ho wrote a number
of other pieces — The Destruction of Troy, Cato Miyor,
Ac. — translated portions of Virgil, and ifliitated Tally.
The 6th ed. of his collected works, entitled Poems and
Translations, with the Sophy, a Tragedy, was pub. in 1719,
12mo. The reputation ef Denham is not so high as it was
formerly, but few poets have been more warmly commended
by several rigid critics. The approbation of Waller, Prior,
Dryden, Warton, and Johnson, is no slight guarsntM of
merit.

" ' Cooper's Hill,' says Dryden, < Ibr majesty of stylo, Is, and over
win be, the standard of good writings;* and Pope enlociaM It

to devote himself to literary pursuits. In 1795 he pub. in
Boston, The TaUer, a weekly paper, and issued at Walpole,
The Farmer's Museum. In Uiia periodical appeared the
esaaysby which he ia best known, entitled The Lay Preacher.
In 1799 Hr. Piekering, Beeretajy of State, proffered him
aclerkship, and he removed to Philadelphia, where in 1801
be established The Port Folio, which he condncted ontil
his death in 1812. He enjoyed great repntation as a writer
during his life, and for some years after his decease. Pa-
triarchs of the " lean and slippered pantaloon" — who per-
haps compoged a part of the " mob of gentlemen who wrote
with ease" about the beginning of this century — still ex-
tol the melodiona cadence and liquid flow of the eaaays of
the American Addison. We ourselves are so old-fhshioned
SIS to consider Dennie a charming writer.

De Qnincey, Thonat, b. IT88, the son of an Bng-
llah merchant, is a native of Manchester, and was educated
at Eton and Oxford, For the histoiy of his early years we
most refer the reader to the glowing pages of the Conibssions
of an English Opinm-Eater. This famous antabiogia|ihy
was originally pub. in the Old London Magasine in 1821,
and appeared in a roL in 1822. The reader will also find
mneh of interest in the Autobiographic Sketches, pub. by
Mr, De Qnincey, 1863, Ac., and in a Memoir of his Life,
Bost, 1856, by Dr. R. Shelton Mackentie. The author has
made some excellent translations from Jean Paul Riehter
and Lessing, which appeared in the London Jlagaiine and
Blackwood, and contributed many articles, on biography,
metaphysics, and philosophy, to the periodicals of we day.
Among his best-known articles are the lives of Sbakspeare
and Pope in the EnoyclopasdiaBritannica; a paper on the
Knocking at the Oate, in Macbeth ; the Vision of Sudden
Death ; and Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts.
But we shall confer no small favour on the reader by a

one piU). in Great Britain or America) of the writings of

So far as this edition has proceeded, it will be seen that
Mr. De Quinoey has simply republished (with eineidatury
notes) tmm the American edition. It is but proper to quote
the following lines f^om a late biographical akotoh of the
author:

"IB the Pnfiuie to this edition Mr. De (tnlnoejr makes a daol-
ficatioD of his writings which it Is useful to remembef.- The iiu-
menae medley, which, in tfaa American edition, la arrmoged on the
kxMeft poadble principle, may be distributed, be sayi, in the main,
into three cUaaes of papers : first, papers whose diief pnrpaee la
to Interest and amuse, {autobloKraphie sketehis, rvmiaiacenoea of
dlfltlngatahed oontemporariea, bk^srapblcal memoin, whlmsiral
narrativea, and such like;) aecondiy, essays of a ipeculativ-ei
critical, or philosophical character, addressing the understanding
as an insulated Hcnlty, (of these there are many;) and, thirdly,
papenl)elooging to the order of what may be called 'proee-poetiy;*
that is, fkntaslcs or Imaginatknis tn prose, (of which daas Mr.
De Qnincey cites the * Sasplria de Proftindia,* originally pnbllafaHi
in Blackwood, as the meat eharaderlstio speclmeD.) Vnder any
one of the three aspects fafre indicated, Mr. De Qninoey must rank
high in the entire list of British proae-writet*."— JCfwU't AuUU

** It is astonishing how much more Boston [J. T. Heldsl kaowa
of my literary acta and pnipoaea than I do myselll Were it not In-
deed throogh Boston, hardly the sixth part of my literary under,
taktnga — hurried or deliljerate. sound, rotting, or rotten — would
ever have reached posterity : which, l>e it known to thee, moat sai^
castle of future censors, already most of them have reached.'* — i^x^

It is worthy of note that the occasional essays of a
number of distinguished British authors have been fir»t
eolleoted in America. We may instance Macaulay, Wilson,
Carlyle, De Quinoey, Talfourd, Jbc. In a review of De
Quincey's writings pub. in the London Eclectic Review in
1861, it was stated that it was not probable that a collective
edition of his works would ever appear; the author, in eon-
sequence of ill health, being disinclined to accede to tbe
request of several publishers that he would prepare such a
collection for publication. But, not discouraged by this
unpromising announcement, Mr. Fields determined to col-
lect his writings, and his firm (Ticknor t, Fields) olTerad
tbe author a share of the profite of the series. Mr. De
Quincey could not withstand an enthusiasm so creditable
to the projectors: he gave his aid to the enterprise, and the
twenty volumes enumerated above are the result. Publishon
of this stamp are an honour to an hononrahle profession.

As a political economist, Mr. De Quincey has guned aa
much nedit aa be has secured by his philosophical, bio-
graphical, and critical disquisitions. The Dialogues of
Three Templars on Political Economy, chiefly in relation
to the Principles (respecting value) of Mr. Ricardo, which
appeared in the London Magaiine for April and Hif,
1824, an thus commended by an eminent authority :

"They are unequalled, perhapa, lor brevity, pungency, and Ibrce.
They not only bring the Rtcaroian theory of value Into strong re.
lief, but triunpbantly repel, or ntber annibUate, the obfectloaa
nnted against It by Midthus in tbe pamphlet now refnTsd te [Ths
Measure of Value 8Uted and Illnsttated] and his Political Boo-
ooniy, and by 8ay and othen. They may, indeed, be said to hare
exhausted the ■utilect."— JfcOiBoek't LU. <tf mUt. Eootwmf, p. 181.

The same critic thus commente upon De Quincey's Logic
of Political Economy, (Lon. and Edin., 1844, 8vo :)

" This very clever work Is Intended to unravel Intricacies and to
cspoee sundry erron In the application of the Ricardian theory of
va]u«L It would, however, have been more popular aod sucoenfUl
had It bean less sdiolastic. II la right to be logteal, but not to In pei^
petually obtruding logical forms and technicalities on the reader's
attention. This sort of alfeetetion Is little noticed In a brief essay
like the Templars' Dialogues ; but in a goodly^aized volume like
the present it becomes tiresome and repuhrive.** — Ulk ftipra, 20.

The general style of the Confessions is thus well do-
scribed by an English eritio :

"They have an air cf reality and life; and they exhibit such
strong graphic powers as to throw an Interest and even a dignity
round a subject which In leas able hands might hare been ren-
dered a tiasne of trifles and absurditiea. They are, indeed, very
fiictnresqne and vivid sketohea ol indlvldaal eharaclcr and fcst
ngi, drawn with a bddneaa yet an exactoaaa of pencil that Is to
be found only in one or two prominent gculuaes of our day. , • .
They combine strong sense with wild and somewhat lantastic In-
ventions, accuracy of detail with poetic Illustration, and analjtlral
reasoning and metaphysical research with nncomnion pathos and
refinement of ideas. . . . Much truth and Hue ootonriag are dis-
played In the descriptlona and details of the work : Its qualitlaB are
all of a rich and elevated kind, — such as high pathos, profound
views, and deep reasoning, with a happy vein of ridirulo Indulged
at the writer's own expense.'* — Ltm, M'tttA. An*., c. 2f)8.

boiccl work owed its itrangth to tke tmpbmdan of OBinm,
nplias, tli&t " it ia not opium in Do Qninsex, but D« Qain-
••7 in opium" that wrote the Sntpirlkaodthe Confewions.

It is to be npvttad th»t the eloquent suthor has not bet-
tor learned the Art of Sinking— to the proper level of the
ererydaj topics of literature, biography, or eritieism,
which be often sees fit to discuss. In uese essays we see
a striking Instance of Cicero's declaration, " Remm copia
rerbomm oopiam gignet." With sneh an aiHnenoe of lan-
guage, therefore, Mr. Da Qnineey can well afford occasional
simplicity when the subject demands it

Another prominent fault of this very learned critic, is
an ostentation of learning, and a thorough contempt, which
he is al no pains to conceal, for those whose opinions do
not happen to coincide with bis own. And yet, no man
can build a larger supeiatmotore upon a slender founda-
tion— no man can more sopfaisticaUy exalt a hypothesis
Into a fact, and such assumed fact into an infallible canon
— than this orthodox stickler for the lex teripta.

Hr. De Qninoay's conversation is described as fascinating
beyond description. We give a short extract ttom the let-
ter of a gentleman who visited him in 18&4, at Lasswade,
near Edinburgh, where he has resided for some years :

" ror a half hour at least hv talked as we have never beard sd-
r talk. We have Ilstensd to Mr Wm. Hamlltoa at bis own lire-

Mm, to Cariyls walking In the parks of London, to Lamartlne In
(he midst ora kvoured few at his own house, to Cousin at the Sor-
bonne, and to many otbera, but never bsTe we heard such sweet
musle of eloquent speech as then flowed from DeQulocej's tongue.
To attempt reporting what he said would be like attempting to
entnpthe taysof thesun. Stiange light beamed fi-om that grief-
worn ftoe, and txt a little while that weak body, so long fcd upon
by pain, seemed to be clothed with snpematuial youth/*

Deverenx, Robert, second Earl of Essex, 1667-1601,
the unfortunate favourite of Queen Eliiabelh, is classed by
Horace Walpole among the Royal and Noble Authors of
England. See a list of his writings is vol. ii. 76, Park's
ed. Many of his letters will be found in Birch's Memoirs
of the Reign of Queen Elisabeth, and in aeveral colleotiona
of Slate Papers. The Verses written in his Trouble will
ba fonnd in Ellis's Specimens ; and the Earle of Essex, his
Buiie, a poetical complaint, is in Park's Walpole's R. and
N. Authors. Mr. Park is disposed to think that if Warton
had read the Busxe, he would have set a higher estimation
upon the Earl's claims as a poet:

" A few of his sonnets are in the Ashmdean Hnsenm, wUeh
have no marks of poetic geolos; but be is a vlgorotts and elegant
writer of prose."— Wurlan'i HUt. of Eng. Poetry.

flrom Ireland, on the condition of that country, Ac, (see
ike Bacon Papers, vol. ii. 415,)

rEts equal to the perlbrmsnoas of the greatest geniuses." — R. and
AuOun, FarKt ed., 11. 105.

Dlererenx, Robert, third Bari of Essex, 1(02-1846,
only son of the preceding, has also some claims as an au-
thor. A list of his Letters, Speeches, Proclamations, Ac.
will be fonnd in Watt's BibL Brit, and soma in Park's Wal-
pole's R. and "S. Authors.

pia. In 1809 Dr. Perriar addressed to Richard Heber, Esq.,
the princely book-collector, a poetical epistle entitled The
Bibliomania. This suggested to Dr. Dibdin his amusing
and instructive volume of the same name. The first edi-
tion, printed in 1809, was a small octavo volume of 87 pages.
It was reprinted and appended to the 3d edit, pub. in 1842,
where it occupies but 64 pages. An enlarged edit appeared
in 1811, 8vo, with tbe addition of A Bibliographical Ro-
mance to the title. It was favourably received, and paid
the author a profit of £200. It was pub. at £1 7>.; 19
large-paper copies were struck off in 2 vols. imp. 8vo, at
ten guineas each. This edit was in such demand before
the publication of the 3d, that small copies were sold for
eight guineas, and large paper for 60 guineas. Wo qnote
some opinions upon tbe merits of this favourite volume :

" It would be mere affectation to say that I have not derived
much Inibnnatton from it . . . Indeed your knowledge of blblio.
graphy has excited my surprise." — Da. FsailAS.

" Vour books are no dead lettaie— no mare dry transcripts; but
while they (kimlsh beauUftil ornaments, set the senses ail In m»
tlon ; exhibit a happy talent of reassembling and new^nmbfaitna

Jrour wide-sought and Inflnlte materials. To lead the dance of
dees, to race over such an Immeasurable field of Itteiature, can
only be given to one of the most elastic and rigorous powers,"—
Bn S. EoxxToN BarnoES.

"I have not yet recovered from the dellghtftil delirium Into
whi(di your ■ Bibliomania' has completely thrown me. . . . Tour
book, to my taste. Is one of the most extraordinary gimtlfleatlons
I have enjoyed tn many years. Ton have glued me down to two
hundred padres at a sitting, and 1 can repeat the pleasure wHll-
out losing IL" — IsAAO Disraeli.

" You have given us another Horlse Bneomlum, seasoned with
a salt which that work has not— with tbe united fiavonr of gayety
and good humour. Yet I fear that you, like many other doctors^
will only make the disease worse."— Vbascis Bouck.

*'The Bibliomania being onee entered on, compelled me to b^
come a *born>wer of the night Ibr a dark hour or twain' to finish
It I can truly nay that I was much amused and Interested by
It"— B. T. Dmasox.

"I have been revelling 1m tha last two d»s In the ddlghta of
your new edition of Tbe Blblkimanla."— Sm nuxas Ytxaxm.

Hn'i poUhattimi an hulbpraiaUy mmiTy to the tn>llO(nipht- |
cal itadeDt. Happy mftv be deem hiiDNelf wbo poiMnaas a copj
of thli work.** — HonuU Jntroduc. to Bibliography, p. 521.

To them testimonies of the value of the Bibliomania could
be added those of Earl Spencer, the Rt Hon. Thoi. Oren-
Tille, Sir M. M. Sykes, the Rev. Henry Drury, and others.
Of illQstrutad copies, one belonging to Mr. Wm. Turner
of Islington, was sold to Mr. Town of New York for 80
guineas, and the author remarks :

*• I belleTe I bare seen a similar copy on larffs paper, marlEed In
a taookaoHer's catnlogne at one hundred and twenty guineas.**

The third edit of the Bibliomania was pub. in 1842,
r. Bro, small paper, £3 3>. ; large paper, £5 it. This edit
is mach the best, and oontains a key to the assumed Cha-
neters in the Romance.

It is here proper to notice two prirately-printed brochures
of Dr. Dibdin ; one, entitled Specimen BibliotheesB Bri-
tanniete, was printed in 1808 ; the other, Specimen of an
Bnglish De Bnre, in 1810. In 1807-11 he pab. three arti-
cles in the Classical Jonmal on the first Bible and Psalters
printed at Menta; and in 1811 be printed prirately the
Lincolne Nosegay, a selection of poetical pieces.

The next great work of our enterprising bibliographer —
The Typographical Antiquities of Oreat Britain — has
already been noticed at length in our article Ahks, Josipb,
to which we refer the reader. The 68 large paper copies,
imp. 4to, were pub. at £29 8s. ; small paper, £14 14s.
About a year after the publication of the 2d edit of the
Bibliomania, at the suggestion of Dr. Dibdin, the famous
Koxburghe Club was estoblished. It may be said to have
sprung out of the sale of the Rozburghe Library. Earl
^Mnoer was chosen President, and our author Tiee-Pre-
sident

We aow eome to notice th* BibUolheea Spenceriana,
pub. in 4 vols, super-roy. 8vo, in 1814; small paper at £8 8s.
•nd £9 9:, and large paper £18 18*. The germ of this
splendid work was a small volume of 34 pp., of which 36
copies were printed, entitled Book Rarities, or a Descrip-
tive Catalogue of some of the most curious, rare, and va-
Inatile Iwoka of early date, chiefly in the collection of the
RL Hon. George John, Earl Spencer, K. Q. It is devoted,
with two exceptions, to the early-prinled Dantes and Pe-
trarehs at Spencer House. To the Bibliotheoa Spenoeriana
a supplement was added in 181S, and .Sdes Althorpianag —
a description of Spencer House and its treasures — pub. in
1822, may be considered vols, ith and 6tb, and the Cata-
logue of the CoBsano Library, vol. 7th, of this interesting
series. The author of this noble set of books might weU
say, on reviewing the results of his labours:

" I bare done every thing la my power to establish, on a finn
jbundatlon. the celebrity of a Library of whifb the remembrance
can only perish with every other record of individual flime.**

In 1817, 3 vols. r. 8vo, appeared The Bibliographical
Decameron, or Ten Days* Pleasant Discourse upon Illumi-
nated Manuscripts, and subjects connected with Early En-
graving, Topography, and Bibliography. The small-paper
eopies, of which there were 760, were sold at £7 17s. Bel.
to subscribers ; £8 fit. to non-subscribers ; large paper,
£15 16«. Overtures were mode for its republication in
French, but it was too late. The curious blocks from which
the engravings were made had been destroyed by the au-
thor and his friends. Although a thorough-paced biblio-
maniac, we have no sympathy with such barbarous waatSb
The Decameron is assuredly one of the most beaatifol, as
well as one of the most instructive, books in the laognage.
We have space for the quotation of one opinion only :

**The volomee not only exoeed my expectation, but even my
imagination. I eould never have oonceived any work so Interen-
ing for Its decorations. It Is surely without a rival In the whole
history of Typography.** — Is.uo DttSAxu.

We must notice two illustrated copies of this work. One
Is in the library of Lord Spencer at Althorp. Among
other rarities, it has many dnplicate proofs of copper-
plates. It cost his lordship upwards of ISO guineas. The
other copy was formerly in the possession of Oeorge Henry
Freeling. He liad extended his three volumes to eleven,
which were bound in morocco by the famous Lewis. Mr.
Treeling, as will readily be believed, was enthusiastically
fond of the Decameron.

" If the gods oould read," ho ezolaimed, " they would
never be without a copy of the Decameron in their side-
pocket I"

In 1821 onr author gave to the world the results of his
nine months' exploration of oontinental libraries, in A Bi-
Uiographieal, Antiquarian, and Picturesque Tour in France
•nd Owmany, 3 vols. r. 8vo. The money paid to engravers
•lone in the getting up of these volumes approached £SO0O.
"A Work this meet costly on the score of embelltshmanta, and
(faemost perUous on that of nsfonslUUty, in wUcfa alravellar—

rslylno upon bis own reeourees exdnslvely — was ever engagsd."—
AuVior'M RnninifeoKa,

"One of the most beantlfnl and eovatable books of modem
times.*' — ROBKRT SouTBBT.

" Your splendid work Is one of the moat handsome which ever
come from the British Press.** — Waltek Scott.

The Tour was pub. at £9 9«., small paper, and £16 16s.,
large paper. Of illustrated eopies, perhaps the most re-
markable is one which passed through the hands of Henry
Drury, George Hibbert, and P. A. Hanrott It sold at Hib>
bert*s sale for £92 8s., an< at Uanrott*s for £178 10s.
The gentlemen who paid this price for it was induced to
part with it by "a very splendid ofier," but what that was,
we believe, has not transpired. An account of this bean-
tiful copy may be seen in Bihliotheca Hanrottiana, Now
2412, A second edition of the Tour, in 3 smaller volumes,
was pub. in 1829. It is a very meagre oSair compared
with the first impression, and pub. at only £2 IS*. There
is also a French trans, by M. Theodore Licquet, Paris,
182i, 4 vols. 8va. In 1819 Dr. Dibdin projected a His-
tory of the University of Oxford, which it is much to be
regretted should have failed for want of encouragement.
This noble university is much to blame for its neglect of
a matter in which it has so deep an interest From June,
1822, to Dec., 1825, he contributed a number of articles to
Valpy*B Museum, a periodical of short continuance. In
1824 he pub. The Library Companion, or the Toung Man's
Guide and the Old Man's Comfort in the ohoieo of a Library.
A second vol. was contemplated, but the British Critic and
the Westminster Quarterly Reviews critioixed the work
severely, and it was not continued. Nevertheless, it ii
a work of considerable value, and deserves a wider circu-
lation than it has obtained. It was pub. at £1 7s. ; a few
copies ou large paper at £5 5s. A second edit appeared
in 1825. From an anecdote recorded at page 391 of the
first edit, concerning " certain buckskins,'* and which ia
omitted in the subsequent one. it has acquired the title of
the " Breeches Edition," and is quoted as such in the Bil>-
liophobio.

In 1820, and also in 1825, onr SMthor pob. a volume of
sermons, two single sermons in 1830 and 1831, an edit of
Thomas 11 Kempis's Imitation of Christ in 1828, and a
collection of sermons by various authors in 6 vols, in 1830.
Of this oolleotion, entitled The Sunday Library, or the
Protestant's Manual for the Sabbath Day, more than 4000
perfect sets were sold. It was pub. at £1 10s., and a new
edit was issued in 1851 at the very low price of 16«.

Principal Aatiors.— Bp. Blomfield, Rev. Robert Hall,
Bp. Heber, Jones of Nayland, C. W. Le Bas, Bp. Maltby,
Bp. Mant, Dean Milman, Dr. Parr, Archdeacon Pott, Rev.
Sidney Smith, Archbishop Sumner, Bp. Van Hildert, Ac.
In 1827 he issued a 4th edit of his Introduction to the
Greek and Latin Classics. Of this work the first edit
was pub. in 1803, the 2d in 1804, and the 3d in 1809. The
4th edit was pub. at £2 2s. ; large paper, £6 <•. It is a
most valuable work, and will save the classical student
much time and toil. In 1831 he pub. anonymously a
pamphlet, entitled Bibliophobla : Remarks on the Present
languid and depressed state of Literature and the Book
Trade; in a Letter addressed to the Author of the Biblio-
mania; by Mercurius Rusticus, with Notes by Cato Par-
vus. This is an amusing, though to the true Biblioma-
niac also a melancholy, volume. In 1833 our author pub.
two small vols, entitled Lent Lectures.

" These subjects are well ebcaen, and Dr. Dibdin, who donbdns
knows full well what a London audience Is. tells tlksm very plainly
that be thinks it expedient not to att«Mnpt too much, but to aat
before them the strooKeet and most striUng points of each sub-
ject.**— Britinh Magatine,

His Reminiscences of a Literary Life, which should be
In the possession of every one aspiring to be a man of
books, was pub. in 1836, 2 vols. 8vo. It is a most vola-
able storehouse of biographical and bibliographical aaeo-
dote. In 1838 appeared A Bibliographical, Antiquarian,
and Picturesque Tour in the Northern Counties of Eng-
land and Scotland, 2 vols. r. 8vo ; small paper, £4 14*. td. ;
large paper, £8 18«. M. This is a handsome work, hot
much inferior to the Tour in France and Germany, To
Dr. Dibdin, more than to any other individual, is to b*
ascribed the prevalenoe of the spirit of Bibliomania which
raged with such violence in England from about 1812 to
1824. Did our space permit, we might perhaps ooeupy a
few pages not unprofitably in considering the tempting
subject of book-collecting, its use and abuse, its advan-
tages and disadvantages, its excess and its proper limin.
It is a subject much misunderstood by the ignorant, and
often misrepresented by the contracted. Informed by
knowledge and restrained by discretion, it is certainly on*
of (he most useful, as well as amiable, of enthnsiasa*.

■ad, after completing his studies, entered the ministry

to teaching, for which elevated and philanthropic calling
few men have been better fitted. An interesting notice
of this venerated benefactor of his race will Im found
in Professor 0. D. Cleveland's (a personal and attached
friend of Dr. Diok) English Literature of the 19th Century,
in whieh work we find the following list of Dr. Dick's

edition of Dr. Dick's works in 10 vols. 12mo. Messrs. Ap-
plegate A Co. of Cincinnati also publish a fine edition,
complete in 2 vols. r. 8vo. We have before us commenda-
tory notices of Dr. Dick's rolnmes from no less than twenty-
three British periodicals. From these we extract the fol-
lowing :
I Notice of the Philosophy of Religion :
I " In discussing these interesting and Important topics, Dr. Dick
sssumea the truth of Divine Revelation, and taking nature and
I revelation as they stand, endeavours to show the philosophy — In
' other words, the reasonableness — of what lias been dona, so as to
I Justify the ways of Ood to man. The design of such a work is
lofty and benignant, and Dr. Diok has brought to hie great argu-
ment a vast amount of illnstratton and proo^ presented in a style
^ condensed and perspicuous, and imbued with the feeling appro.
' priate to such a theme. We commend it earnestly to tlie general
, reader, and not leu eo to the Christian preacher. Such modes of
I dealing with the/oundojton of tilings need to be more common tn
our pulpits." — firttM Quarttr^ Bnlew,

Notices of Celestial Scenery :

" This iamlliar explanation of the most interesting phenemeea
Is well calculated to unfold the wonders of astronomy to those who
are unacquainted with the mysteries of that science ; while those
who have learned its principles will derive pleasure from the speen.
latlons on the different aspects of our system, as viewed fiom the
sun and the several planets." — Lon. jUAonswR.

" An admliable book to put into the handaof youth and general
readers."— JEmi. LiUrart) MueUc.

" This Is an admirable book, not more valuable for the exoellenoa
ofita intention, than fbrtlie taste, right feeling, and manly slmpll.
eity of Its execution. It is one of the most beautiful and readable
books we ever had In our handa" — Qtaaffouf (^ronieU.

"Dr. Dick is not a mere collector of the opinions of others: bnt
one who has thongbt and Investigated Ibr himsell'*— Zojt. Auit-

*' No one can peruse this volume without being inspired with

" We have seldom met with a more readable or Instructive work.

Being wliose celestial architecture it is the author's object to bring
before the wondering and adoring mind of the reader." — Oranft

Notices of Christian Beneficence contrasted with Coret-
ousness :

** A treatise of singular merit and interest, which cannot be read
without largely instructing the understanding, and deeply liiH
pressing and affecting the haart'* — Xeio Cbnnexum Magaxim.

" It is, indeed, a truly excellent treatise. In every part it comes

The style of Dr. Dltrk Is correct dignified, and impreflsive. The
merit of the work lies In its eminent adaptation (or tisefUlnesa.
It is a manly, Judldoua, and scriptural statement of the reasons

Diekemsy Charles^ b. 1812, at Laadport* Portimonth,
Bnglandr ei^oys the repatation of being the most popniar
author of the daj. His father, John Dickens, held a post
in the Nary Pay Department, and was subsequently a re-
porter of parliamentary debates. Charles was intended for
the profession of the Uw, but finding no pleasura in hia
itadies, obtained his father's consent to "join the parlia-
mentary corps of a daily newspaper/' He was first en-
gaged in the office of the Tme Sun, and subsequently
formed a connexion widi the Morning Chronicle, in the
erening edition of which appeared the Sketches of Life
and Character, afterwards pnb. as Sketches by Box in 3
Tols., 1836, '37. The extraordinary merit of these papers
was at once acknowledged, and an enterprising publisher
engaged Mr. Dickens and Mr. Seymour, the comic draughts-
man, " the one to write and the other to illustrate a book
which should exhibit the adventnresof a party of Cockney
Sportsmen." Seymour committed suicide before the book
was finished, and the illustrations were continued by Hablot
K. Browne, under the sigcatare of ^'Phift." Never was a
book received with more rapturous enthusiasm than that
whieh greeted the Pickwick Papers ! It may be said, with-
out a trope, that from the peer in his palace to the Jehu on
his box, the book became an immediate farourite with all
olasses of society. The public were equally delighted with
the shrewd facetiousness of Samuel Weller, and the unso-
phlstioated benevolence of his estimable master, and no
less charmed with the oddities and affectations of the other
members of the circle. The comparisons of Weller Junior
—not always the most obvious — were quoted and dupH-
oated, if not improved upon, and single gentlemen were
eontinually admonished to profit by the example of the
"old gentleman," and studiously beware of respectable
natrons who mourned the loss of their conjugal partners.

An author so successful, and who seemed to possess a
perennial spring of humour and a marvellous facility of
character, not nnft^uently caricature, drawing, was not
permitted to forget his cunning: the publishers and the
public alike Insisted upon more Pickwicks and Wellers;
and Nicholas Nickleby, Oliver Twist, The Old Curiosity
Shop, and Barnaby Budge, were eagerly read by hundreds
of thousands of delighted readers. On the completion of
Master Humphrey's Clock, in which the two preceding tales
were included, Mr. Dickens visited America, whore be had
no reason to complain of a lukewarm reception.

Upon his return home he gave the world the result of
the impressions produced by his tour, in his American Notes
for Oeneral Circulation, pub. in 1842. This volume elicited
ft Tol. pub. in K. York, 1843, 8vo, entitled Change for Ame-
rican Notes, in Letters from London to Now York, by a
Lady. In 1843 he commenced Martin Chuzslewit, in which
his friends, the Americans, were not forgotten. He visited
Italy in 1844, where he remained for about a year, and on
his return in 1845 ha established a new morning newspa-
per, entitled The Daily News, which he conducted for a
short time. It is now a leading journal. Among other
contributions of Mr. Diokens, a number of sketches,
styled Pictures of Italy, will be found in its columns.

Since the relinquishment of the Daily News, our author
has given to the world Dombey and Son, David Copper-
field, Bleak House, The Child's History of England, Me-
moirs of Joseph Grimaldi, and the Christmas Tales of The
Crieket on the Hearth and The Haunted Man. The Chimes
and the Christmas Carol bad been previously published.
To these literary labours of Mr. Dickens must be added
Hard Times, for These Times, 1854, p. 8vo ; LiUle Dorritt,
1857. Sto ; and papers in The Household Narrative of Cur-
rent Events, and in Household Words, (of which vol. XTiiL
was pub. in 1858. The circulation of the latter in London
alone was stated, in 185:). (not by those interested, so far
as we are aware,) to be 90,000 copies. But we presume
tiiat for London should be read England, This periodical
has an extensive circulation in America, also.

New eds. of several of Mr. Dickens's works have been
republished in London by Messrs. Ward ft Lock, Chap-
man ft Hall, and Bradbniy; and several beautiful eds.
are issued in Philadelphia by Messrs. T. B. Peterson

" Tbe popnlartty of this wrltn- la one of tbe most ramarkable

h&VH succeeded In attracting theatt«Dtlon of their contemporarf^s.
He has flattered no popular pr^udlce, and profited l^ no passing
fbWy : he has attempted no caricature sketches of the maoneni or
conversation of the ariirtoeraey ; and there are vary few political or
peraoual alluslona In Us works. Mweover, fals class of satO^eta
are such as to expose blm at the outset to the fatal ol^ectiou vi
vulgarity ; and, with the exception of occasional extracts in tbe
newRpapers, he received little or uo assistance from the press. Tot,
in less than six months from tbe appearance of the first nuaW

make room for that of tbe new popular fevonrite lb the omnibaaes.
This is only to be accounted tot on tbe supposition that a fradi vein
of humour bad been opened; that a new and decidedly wiglnal
genius had sprung up; and the most curnory reference to preced-
ing li^gllsb writers of tbe comic order will show, that, In ms own
pMOliar walk, Mr. Dtckens Is not simply tbe most dlstlnguiahod«
but the first"— Zon. QiKZrt J?emno, lix. 4S4 ; Oct 1837.

^' There is no mlsautliropy in his satire, aud no coarseness in his
descriptiona— « merit enhanced by the nature of his subjects. Ula
works are chiefly pictures of humble life — frequently of tbe bum-
bleat Tbe reader is led through soenea of poverty and orime, and
all the characters are made to discourse in the appropriate language
of their respastlve claBima--aod yet we raeollect no passage which
ought to cause pain to tbe most sensitlTe delicacy, If read aloud In
female society. We bare said that his satire was not miaanthropte.
This is eminently true. One of tlie qualitfes we tbe moat admiie
in him is his comfwehensive spirit of bumauity. The tendency of
his writings Is to make us practically bene%-olent— to exdte our sym-
pathy in behalf of the aggrieved and suffering in all clasaea; and
eRperlally in those who are most removed fkom observation. Ue
especially directs our attention to tbe helpless victims of untowsrd
clrcumstanees oraridoua system — ^to tlie ImpriBoned debtor — tbe
orphau pauper — tbe parish Bpprentice~thejuveullecrlmtnal^«od
to the tyranny, which, under ihe comtdnallon of parenUl neglect,
with the mercenary brutality of a pedagogue, may be eierdsed
with Impunity In schools. Uis humanity Is plain, practical, and
mauly. It is quite untainted with sentimentality. There is no

' mawkish wallli^ for Ideal dlstrexRes — no morbid exaggeration t^

i tbe evils incident to our lot — no disposltioB to excite unavailtng
discontent of to turn our attentlcm from remedial grievances to
those which do not admit a remedy. Though be appeals much to
our fedlngs, we can detect no iDstanee In which be has employed

; tbe verbiage of sparSous pUlanthropy. He is equally exem^ firtna
the meretridous cant of mnrlous phUosophy."— JSUt'n. Scoiew,
IxvUL 77, Oct 1838.

I ** Dickens as a novelist and prow poet Is to be classed In tbe front

' nnk of tbe noble company to wbica he belongs. lie baa revived
tbe novel of genuine practical life, as It existed in tbe works of
Finding, SmMiett and Goldsmith ; but at tbe same time has glvoa

! to his materials an Individual coloring and expression peculfartT

' bis own. Ills ebaraetors, like those of his great exemphu^ constl.

. tute a world of their own, whose truth to nature every reader In-
stinctively reoognlses In counvction with their tmth to I>lckeiia.
Fielding delineates with miwe exquisite art, stendlng more aa tbe

' spectator of his personages, and commenting on their actions with
an ironical humour and a seeming innoceuDe of insight wblch
pierces not only Into, but through, their T«y nature, laying bare
their most uncouscious scenes of action, and in every Instance la.
dicating that be uodemtands tbem bettor than they understand
themselves. It is this perfection of knowledge and Inslgbt which
gives to his novels tbelr naturalness, tbelr freedom of movemont,

J and tb^r value as lessons in human nature aa well as consummate

I lepresentatlous of actual life. Dlckeua's^e for the forms of things

I Is as accurate as Fielding's, and blfi range of vision more ex-tendeo;
but be does not probe »o profouudly iuto the heart of wtiat he neeS)
and be Is more led away from the FlmpIIdty of truth by a tricky
spirit of hntastlc exaggemtiOD. Uentally be la Indisputably be-
low Fielding; but in tendemees, in pathos, iB sweetness and purity
of feeling, in that comprehensiveness of simpatby whkh ^ringt
fkom a sense or brotlierhuud with mankind, tie u inolsputably above
him."— E. V. WnirrLs: A'. Amer. Sev.^ Ixix. 3»2-3fl3, Oct lMi».

"The mention of the Wsverley Novels and their broad ScottUl
dialect, leads unavoidably to tb» remark, that, unlike tbe author
of these matchless productions, Mr.Dkkens makes Us low ehane-
ters almost always vulgar. It is not easy to define vulgarity, but
every one can feel it; and we know that Kdle Ochiltree, (5addia
Headrigg, Bailie fiiecA Jarvle, and Domtne Sampson are not vulgar,
in spite of their accent language, and station; neither are Jeanla
Deans, or 3deg MerrlllM, or tbe Mucklebaeklts; and while tbe aa-
thor draws tbem with perfect truth, he often conveys through tbelr
mouths lessons of Ibe greatest moral eleyatlon. Every reader must
have felt how much otherwise It is with Mr. Dickens.

** In the next place, the good ctaaracterB of Mr.Dlckens's novels
do not seem to l»ve a wholesome moral tendency. The reason ^
that many fKTtbem— all tbe author s lhvouritee--«xbibtt an excel-
lence flowing from constitution and temperament^ and not fttaa
tbe Influence of moral or religloiu motive. Th^ act from fanpulssi
not from principle. Tbt>y present no struggle of contending pa»'
slons; tbey are instinctively incapable of evil; they are, tbiM-efor^
not constituted like other human brings ; and do not foal the fore*

This Is the true measbig of ' the simple heart,* which Mr. Blckena

Earl of Strafford, He stndied for some time at the Pro-

subsequently resided at Rome, returned to Ireland, and
finally settled in London, where he was made master of
the horse to the Ducbeu of York, and married the widew
of Colonel Courtney, a danghter to the Karl of Burlington.

be higher than that which Pope allows him — of being the

" We mnit allow that the anther has copied with considerable
fidelity the tone of dimwing-room life, and transmitted to us with
great truth, by means of a few feUcttoos strdkea, a nomher otpor-
uaits, which wHl easily be recognised as resemblances of living

In 1826 Mr. Disraeli visited It&ly nad Qreece. In 1831
he Wk8 a oandidate— OD the Radical side — for the borough
of Wycombe, and he lost the election in two contasta. Qe
was a candidate in 183S as a ConserTatire for the borough
of Taunton, and fared no better than before; but in 1837
he was returned to Parliament as a Tor; for the borough of
Haidatone. In 1841 he was returned for Shrewsbury ; in
1843 he supported Peel, but in the three following sessions
was his bitter opponent and an advocate of Protection.

TJpon the formation of Lord Derby's ministry in 1852,
Disraeli became Chancellor of the Exchequer, and held
that position for nine months. Since his retirement he
has distinguished himself by parliamentaiy opposiUon to
Whigs and Peelites.

Familiar with those scenes of life in which readers are
the most interested, posaeeslng a highly imaginative cast
of mind and descriptive powers of no common order, it is
no marvel that the author of Vivian Grey should be one
of the most popular writers of bis time.

" In whatever point of view we examine this work, it commands
unnlxed admiration. It la admirable as a novel of real life, as a
picture of £nglish society, as an exposition ofpoUtieal parties and
prindples, as a gallery of living portraits. The reconunendation
of fluch a novel to our readen would be a work of supererogation,
everybody will read it" — Cburt Journal.

** For onr own part, we cannot see any use that is to be answered
by saeh books as "nincred. It is as dumb as the poor choked

An ed. of his works was pub. in 1853 ; and the last cd.,
in 10 vols. p. 8vo, — comprising Nos, 1, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14,
16, 16, 17, nipra, — appeared in 1857.

We are also indebted to Mr. Disraeli for a new ed. of Mr.
Isaac Disraeli's valuable Commentaries on the Life and
Reign of King Charles I., 1851, 2 vols. 8vo ; and be is
now (1858) engaged in editing a new uniform ed. of his
father's Works, witli a Memoir and Notes.

" The years between Ytvian Orey and Tancred have not been
■pent idly by Mr. Disraeli, tie has written many works of fiction,
all, we belieye, successful, and some of them amoni; the best ot^
their time ; some Terse, in which he has rather tried than exercised
his powers; and political essays, nnonyinnus, but arknowledjfed.
In which the thing to bo said was evidently mnch less valued than
the manner of saying iL The Adventures of Cnptain Popanilla
deserve to bo remembered as an nrlmlnble adnptation of Gulliver
to later cireumstanres ; and the Wondrous Tale of Alroy is a most
laafslDatlve attempt to naturallsffln our language that rhymed
and assonant prose which has so groat a charm for Eastern ears,
but which with us will scarcely win more admirers than have
been gained by the attempts at l£ngllsh hexameters." — Miiin, H^

Diaraeli, laaac, 1766-1848, father of the preceding,

aad son of a Venetian merchant of Jewish extraction, wu
a native of Enfield, near London. He was educated at
Amsterdam and Leyden, and travelled for some time in
various parts of the ContinenL Inheriting a handsoma
fortune, which gave him the copimand of bis time, and
posaessing a strong attachment to literary investigations,
we need not be surprised that this gentleman contributed
so much valuable matter to the literature of his age. Two
interesting letters of the yonng aspirant for literary honours
and useliilneBS will be found in the Qent Mag. : they are
addressed to the Rev. Dr. Vicesimus Knox, and bear the
date of 1786. In December of the same year bo pub. in
the Gent. Mag., Remarks on the Biographical Accounts of
the late Samuel Johnson, LL.D., with an attempt to vin-
dicate his character &om lata nusrepiMentationi, signed
L D. L

The yonthfbl anther made some attempts at poetry, but
soon satisfied himself that he was not to look for distino-
tion in this sphere. In 1790 he pub. A Defence of Poetry,
with a Specimen of a New Version of Telemachns, 4to, and
in 1803 a volume of Narrative Poems, 4to. Some of his
poetical effusions will be found in the Gent. Mag., Ixxi.
446, and in the vol. entiUed The Claims of Literature.

Curiosities of Literature, vol. i., 1791; vol. ii., 1793; 3d

larged and improved ; the 12th ed. was pub. in 1841, and

a sequeL Eliot, Hampden, and Pym, 1832. The Genins

8vo. This work was intended as part of an extensive sur-
vey of English Literature, but partial blindness, induced
by long-continued application, prevented the completion
of this praiseworthy design.

But Mr. Disraeli did enough to entitle him to the lasting
gratitude of posterity. No lover of letters, old or young,
should be without the following volnmes :

Curiosities of Literature, new ed., with Life, Lon., 1851,
r. 8vo. An edit in 3 vols. 8vo, with Life of the Author

Esq., 1851, 2 vols. 8va. Our author pub. many articles in
the Gent Mag., and was a contrib. to Nichols's Lit Aneo»

In 1837 Mr. Bolton Comey pub. a voL enUUed Curiosities
of Literature Illlustrated, in which grave efaarges are ad-
duced against Mr. Disraeli's literary character. We bar*
already referred to this voL,(Bee Corhiy, Boltoh,) and shall
not here enter into any examination of the justioe of thesa
imputations.

We conclude with the quotation of some opinions upon
Mr. Disraeli's literary merits.

Calamities of Authors.

" The middle of the book Is mnch better than the two ends: It
Is one of those works which are designed Ibr the breakfkst-table
and the sofii, and Is so well adapted ror Its purpose, that he who
takes It up will not readily lay it down. The matter Is as amos-
Ing as any lover of light reading can desire, and of such a desul.
tory kind thataconunent might easily be made as extensive as the
tut"— KossaT SOITHSV, in Lon. guar. Rtriae, vlll. 9S, 1812.

" That It will lend to meliorate thseosdIUon of authors, or detaf
a single young man, of scribbling propensities from rushing intoa
profession so unprofitable, is rather to bo hoped than expected." —
Britilh Critic xlvi. 12.

Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the
First, vols. iii. and iv., 1830.

" M r. Disraeli seems not to have considered how much easier K
Is to accumulate great masses of materials than to Impart to them
a harmonious form. Almost any artist Id mapble can Imitate the
bee ; but to give It the divine art of life belongs only to a Cauova
or a Chantroy.

*' We do not know how we can better convey to the reader our
opinion of these volumes than by comparing tbem to the fh^s•
ments of a broken mirror, reflecting an Infinity of small objects.
We perceive no master hand selecting the more precious materials,
and disposing them according toa felicitous design."— £on.JC>n<Uy

Dodd, WilUam, D.D., 1729-1777, a divine of the
Church of England, equally noted for bis great abilities
and his melancholy end, was a native of Bourne, Lincoln-
shire, of which parish his father was vicar, and educated
at Clare Hall, Cambridge. He was ordained in 1753, and
soon distinguished himself as one of the most eloquent
preachers in London. After various preferments. Dr. i
Sqnier, Bishop of St David's, procored for him a collation
to a prebend of Brecon, and in the same year he roceived
the appointment of tutor to Philip Staniiopo, afterwards
Earl of Chesterfield. He was made one of the king's chap-
lains in 1764. Dodd was exceedingly fond of display, and
lived in a style altogether unsuited to his moderate cir- |
enmstanoes. Finding himself deeply involved in debt, he
determined to make a bold effort to secure the rectory of
St. George's, Hanover Square, which had fallen to the dis- i
posal of the crown. To her great surprise, the lady of |
Lord Chancellor Apsley received an anonymous letter offer-
ing to present her with £3000 if she would obtain for Dr.
Dodd the vacant parish. This insulting proposal was
traced to the aspirant himself, and the king ordered his |
name to be struck from the list of his chaplains. In 1777
he forged the name of his former pupil. Lord Chesterfield,
to a bond for £4200. Detected in this crime, he was cast
into prison, tried, and convicted, and — notwithstanding
the most strenuous efforts to save his life — executed at Ty- I
bum on the 27th of June.

Dodd's publications — a list of which will be found in
Watfe Bibl. Brit — are numerous. We notice the follow- j
ing: Discourses on the Miracles and Parables of Christ,
Lon., 1757, 4 vols. 8vo. Serms. to Young Men, 1772, 3 i

Doddridge, Philip, 1702-1751, was the tvsniistk
child of a London merchant, and lost both of his psieati
at an early age. His mother had been in the habit of
teaching him portions of Scripture history, by means of
the figured Dutch tiles of the chimney of her spartmsst.
To such faithful instruction it was owing that wo find bia
at the age of fourteen visiting the poor, calling their attsa-
Uon to the subject of personal religion, and dividing his
pocket-money with the necessitous. At a prirste sebool
at St Alban's, his application and piety attracted tbe nodes
of Dr. Samuel Clarke, who kindly undertook tbe charge
and expense of his education. In 1719 he entered the dis-
senting academy of John Jennings at Kibworth; sad
afterwards conUnued his studies at Hinckley in Leiceitet-
shire. He evinced great conscientiousness in decliDin^
on account of scruples as to subscribing to the thirty-aise
articles, the liberal offer of the Duchess of Bedford, to rap-
port him at the university, and procure him proferment ia
the church, if she should live until he had taken ordera
He met with much discouragement in his efforts to quali^
himself for the office of a dissenting preacher. He saji:

" * I waited on Dr. Kdmund Calamy to beg his ndriee sod sidit-
snoe. that I mlfrht be brought up a minister, which was alvajs mj
great desire. He gave me no encouragement in It but tdrlaed a»
to turn my thoughts to sometUng else.' Reeolvlag ' to Miow Pro*
Tidenoe, and not three It,' be was about aHilyiag hilDself to ths
study of the law ; but befbiv deciding he set apart one moraln|( tS
earnest solicitation for divine guidance: whilst thus Qocapi«4, bs
received a letter from tbe generous Dr. Clarke, who offered to ad*
vanoe him to a pastoral office. Looking upon this timelr oM
' almost as an answer (him Heaven,' be tonptai it JojnrU;."

In his studies, hewas uncommonly diligent and melhsd.
ical. At fourteen years of age he commenoed keeping s
diary, in which he *' accounted for every hour of bis tima"
Whilst studying Homer, he made annotations sufficient to
fill a large volume ; and his interleaved Bible eshibits a
vast quantity of extracts and remarks, in illustratioa of
the text, taken from the works of eminent eommentston.
Thus did he lay the foundation of his own admirable ex-
position. He was never too busy, however, to seek assist-
ance of the Father of Lights, "without whose help all
labour is ineffectual, and without whose grace all wisdna
is folly." (See Dr. Johnson's prayer on commencing the
Rambler.) He says :

**1 fbund that an hour spent every morning In private pnpr
and meditation gave m« spirit and vlgoar for the butncu of ths
day, and kept my temper active, patient, and calm."

Among his private papers, written ahent this period, wai
a solemn pledge to devote himself, his time, and hit abili-
ties, to the service of religion, (this he reiid over ones a
week,) and a set of rules for his general guidance. Byaid
of these monitors he enforced upon himself

" The necessity of early rising, of rwtumlng aoltsoa Ifeaaks tt
the mercies of the night, and Imidoriag divine aid tbraugli ths
business of tbe day ; of divesting hu mind, while engaged in prajtr,
of every thing else, eltbsr external or tntemal : of mding Its

no buslneBs; ot never losing a mlntite of time, or laaarring aaj

ttaat another Uma would be more fit than the present, or Uut some ,
otbor more Important duty required hh immediate attantion.**

WhflD we thiu behold the foundBtion apou whieh tliis '
UEcellent young man began to bnild hia character, we i
need not he jsnrprised at the loflj eleration and ■triking |
beaoty to which tha supers true tnre attained. In July,
1722, IB hia twentieth year, he eommenced preaching to a I
■mall congregation at Kibworth. Here he pnrsued hia |
biblical stadiea, and seema to have enjoyed both these and ,
bis professional labours :

** One daj paaaeth awaj after another, and T only know thai It |
paanth pleasantly with me. . . . I can willingly ffire up the charms i
at London, the Inxnir, the company, the popuiBrMy of It. tor the !
aeerat plcastues aS mnonal employment and selfapprobatlon ; re-
tLred mm applause and reproach, from enry and oontempt, and 1
Um deatmctlTe habits of ararloe and ambition."

His faronrite auUiors in his retirement were TUlotson,
Baxter, and Howe. In 1727 he was chosen asBistant
preacher at Market Harborongh. Two years afterwnrds,
by the aoUcitation of Dr. Watt, he established an aoademy
for the education of young men designed for the ministry.
Among his pupils, were Dr. Kippis, the editor of the Bio-
graphia Britanniea, Dr. Hugh Farmer, author of the Ea^ny
on the Dsamoniacs of the Kew Testament, and Newton
Cappe. In December, 1729, be took charge of a congre>
ganon at Northampton, and in the following March was
-ordained. In December, 17S0, he was married to a lady
named Maris. On this occasion he drew up the following
rules, which we commend to all our married readers, and
to all who design entering into that happy relation :

** It shall be my dally care to keep up the spirit of piety In my
eoDTeraatlon with my wife; to recommend her to the dlviue bless-
Sng; to manifest an obliging, tender, disposition towards her, and

artlcularly to arotd erery thing which has the appearmncti of pet-
hness, to which, amidst my various cares and labours, I may, in
■ome unguarded moments, be Hable."

He contracted a cold in December, 1750, whilst travel-
ling to 8t AIban*s to preach a fhneral sermon on Dr. Clarke.
The next July ho preached his last sermon. A voyage to
Insbon was recommended, but his scanty means presented
ftn obstacle to this step. Upon this becoming known, a
elerjQ'man of the Church of England set on foot a subscrip-
tion for his relief. A lai^ snm was raised, and Doddridge
•mbarked on the 30th of September, 1751; the voyage
proved of no benefit, and he expired at Lisbon, a fortnight
Skfter he had landed : his romalas were interred in the burial-
ground of the British Factory. In person he was rather
above the middle height, and very slender. His manners
were very easy and polite, his conversation was agreeable
and at times brilliant. Like most men of decided talent,
of eminent piety, and extensive usefkilness, he was vei7
fond of bomour, and excelled in sprightly sallies ; and has
been described as taking "as much delight in innooent
mirth at a child," and as being "by Oar the most lively and
amasing member of the circle in which he moved." We
bare referred to his habit of early rising: unless severely
indisposed he qoitted his bed winter and sonuner at five
o'clock :

** I am genenlly employed with veiy short faiterrals from morn-
ing to night, and hare seldom more than six hours In bed; vet,
■oeh Is the goodness of God to me» that I seldom know what It Is
to be weary?*

He attributes the greater part of his literary productions
to bis having invariably risen at five instead of seven
o'clock; "apraetice which if pursued for forty years, would
add a fourth of that period to a man's life." Dr. Doddridge
fa beet known aa an author by his ex^llent Family Expo-
sitor, and his Rise and Progreaa of Beligion in the Soul.
These works hare been frequently reprinted, and so long
as the Bible and human nature exist, must always be popu-
bir on the whole, theagh, like all man's works, not without
Smporfections.

■'One part of Dr. Doddridge'sFamUy Expositor, which masthave
eoat him uncommon pains, was his baring OTerywhere Interwoven
the t«xt with the pan^ihniae, and carefully dtsttngulshed the
Ibnner from the latter by the Italic character. By this method It
Is Inpassfhle to read the parmf^raBe without the text ; and eveir
oae may faounedintely see, not only the particular elanse to which
any oxpllcatlon answers, but. also, what are the words of the ori-
ginal, and what merely the sense of the oommentatm'. Nor was
OUT antbor content with barely Inserting the old translation, but
piTe an entire new version of the whcde Testament, the merit and
■Bsfwinass of wldch will In many respects be acknowledged. This
faanslation was extracted from the paraphrase, and published In
1765, in two volumes 12mo, with some alterations and Imiwove-
Bwats by the editor, together with an Introdnctlou, and a number
or very short notes."— Da. Kims, <a Bioff. Brit.

Dr. Isaac Watts thus speaks of our author, in a letter to
]t«T. Mr. Longaeville of Amsterdam, who wrote to Dr.
Watts respeoting a translation of some of Doddridge's
works in the Dutch tongue :

**! have no need to glre yon a large account of his knowledge

In the Bdoncos, in wUch T eonlbss him to be greatly my snperlw;
and as to the doctrines of dlTlnlty and the gORpel or Christ, i know
not any man c^ greater skill than himself, and hardly one sn0leient
to be hu seoohd. . . . If you hSTeread tkiat exeeUent |
of his, the Rise and Progivas, Ac, you will be of my mind."

For the latter production Doddridge received the thanks

thns writes to the author respecting it:

** I may with troth assure you, that 1 nerer was so deeply affected
with any thing I ever met with as with that book ; and 1 could not
be easy till I had given one to every sorTsnt in my house.''

The Family Expositor has been translated into almost
every European language. At St. John's College, Cam-
bridge, the Evidences of Christianity has long been used
as a text-book.

" His Family Expositor Is a masterly work. This admirable com-

and notes that accompany It"— T. IL Hoa«a.

Mr. Orme remarks :

" Of a book so well known and so generally esteemed as the
Family Kxpositor,itis scarcely neceesaryto speak. It is admirably
adapted to the olitject which the author had chiefly In view ; and
no book can be read in a Ctarlflttan Ikmlly with more advantage.
. . . The translation frequently corrects tho received version ; but
the paraphrase Is often too diffuse, and in the notes be sometimes
discovers an anxiety to press a fine thought into the meaning of
the sacred writer. His lunnony, which must have cost him great
labour, is often nnsatlslkctoiy, has too many transpositions, and Is
not BO judldous in the arrangement as Macknight a"

" Of all our author's writings, the Family lilxpositor is the most
important and valuable." — Da. Kirns.
Pr. Dibdin declares that

" The Family Expositor should And a place upon the shelf and
upon the table of every mansion where the morafdutlee of aChrl^
tlan are enjoined. Doddridtce's heart was made up of all the kind-
lier foellngs of our nature, and was wholly devoted tothe salvation
of men's souls. Whatever be did, he appears to have done to the
glory of God."

** His character and writings will long eonttane to be revered
and honoured by all who predGar seriptiual truth to human ^-b>
tems." — HoBELL.

Dr. Franois Hnnt, Regins Professor at Oxford, bears tes-
timony to the excellence of the Rise and Progress, and
Archdeacon Wrangbam wrote thirteen practicsl sermons
founded upon that work.

lencies; surh as, elegance of expoeltlon, aeuteneas of lllusbatlon,
and copiousness of erudition ; but I know of no expositor who
unites so many advantages, whether you regard the fidelity of his

of his general and historical iufbrmatlon, the impartiality of h»
doctrinal comments, or lastly, the piety and pastoral earDestness

value of the writings of this truly excellent man :

** All Dr. Doddridge's addresses to his fellow-ilnners breathed at
once the ardour of piety, snd the tenderness of benevolence, by
whirh that spirit, under the guidance of a sound and dlvlcelj-
enllshtened underBtandinft, was erer animated.'^ — Da. Warolav.

" Clearness of thought, unaffected learning, fidelity to the souls
of men, and deep and chastened derotlon, characterixe the sermons
of Dr. Doddridge."

■■ The Family Expositor Is a very Judicious work. It has long
been hiKbly esteemed, and Is worthy of all the credit It has among
religions peopln."— Da. ADAH Cukks.

"In the critical part of the New Testament, I know of none bet-
ter than Hammond or Whitby; and Ibr the harmony, commentary,
and short notes, Doddridge will prove most usefal."— Knowlis.

" It Is unnecessary to sppaK Its pnlse. llervey thought he occa-
Slonally leaned to the trimming side; but who Is unexceptionable?
Perhaps there Is more feebleness than positive trimmug In his
doctrinal statement" — Bidcergteth'i Chriaian Student

The same writer thus refers to the Course of Lectures on
Pnenmatology, Ethics, and Divinity, with Lectures on
Preaching:

"Much maybe learned IW>m this learned and devout writer: be
has many Judicious criticisms on different authors ; but there Is a
tone of excessive candour, bordering upon Latltudlnarlsnlsm, espe-
cially In giving too great weight to objections, when treating upon
tbeKvideneesand Doctrines. His critlcltmsontheolo|;lcal writers
In his preaching Lectures, not duly respecting Evangelical Doctrine,
fril In discrimination. See his Criticisms on Tlllotson, Barrow,

Gospel, and his Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul,

against Christianity, and farming bim to the lore and prae-
tice of religion.

We nuy give another instance of the beneSt resulting
from the Sermons on the Evidences of Christianity :

*- It gave the author dn|;u]ar pleasure to know that tbeoe sar*
mens were the means of convlnclBg two gentlenen, of a liberal
education and dMingulabed abillttaa, that ChiMianlty was tmo
and divtue; and one of them become a aealoos pisafhiM, and an

Dodsley, Robert, 1 763-1 764, a iiookseller and author
of considerable note, a native of Mansfield, Nottingham-
shire, was an apprentice to a tradesman, and saltsequently
a footman. In 1732 he pub. a volume of poems under the
title of The Muse in Lireiy, or the Footman's Miscellany.
His next essay in literature waa a dramatie piece entitled
The Toy Shop, the MS. of which he sent to Pope for his
pemsal and opinion. The great poet saw the merit of the
production, recommended the pieee to Mr. Rich, the mana-
ger of Corent-garden Theatre, and became henceforth the
outbor'a friend and patron. Dodsley now determined to
set up a bookstore, and his success prored that he had not
been too sanguine in his expectations. He soon gave to
the world two more dramatic pieces, The King and the
Miller of Mansfield, and The Blind Beggar of Betbnol
Green. In 1741 he commenood the Weekly Register, of
which 24 numbers were pub. A Select Collection of Old

Moralities or Mysteries. Much valuable information ia

" We may hers perceive how this noble generation of poets, soane

with the Images of tbeir fiincy, and strengthened It by the stabllKy
of their thoughts." — Disbaell

" No species of >ictlon Is so delightful as the Old English Drama;
even Its Inferior productions possess a charm not to be t)uad la

Dodwell, Henrr, 1641-1711, was educated at Trinity
Collage Dublin, of which city he was a native. In 1674
he adopted London as bis residence, and in 1688 was elected
Camden Professor of History at Oxford. He lost this post
in 1691, in consequence of his refusal to take the oaths of

allegiance to William and Mary. He was a man of great
learning and remarkable industry. Of his many publica-

This work elicited several treatises in support of, and in
opposition to, Dodwell's sentiments. Among the writers
were John Broughton, D.D., H. Layton, W. Coward, M.D,,
F. Gregory, Saml. Bold, DanL Whitby, Jos. Pitts, Edmund
ChisfauU, Thomas Hills, and Dr. Samuel Clarke. The last
named was the most distinguished of the opponents. Dod-
well believed that all who were not circumcised under the
law, and all who are not baptised under the gospel, are
condemned to annihilation or to eternal sleep. Joseph
Hallett held the same opinion. See Dodwell's Life, with
an Account of his Works, and an Abridgment of them

ficiency. In his 19th year he subjected the respective
claims of the Church of England and that of Rome to a
careful examination, which resulted in bis embracing the
communion of the former. He pursued for some time the
study of the law, but upon inheriting some £3000 from his
father, he determined to follow his taste, and devote him-
self to literary pursuits. Having the good fortune to secure
the post of secretary to Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, he
gained the afiections of bis lady's niece, a daughter of Sir
George Moore, Lieutenant of the Tower, and a private mar-
riage was the result Great was the indignation of the
stem father, and the young bridegroom lost his situatien,
and was actually for a time imprisoned in the Tower.

When 42 years of age, at the urgent solicitation of King
James L, ha was ordained, and soon became so hmous as
an eloquent preacher, that he had the offer of 14 different
livings within the first year of his ministry. In 1621 he
was appointed Dean of St. Paul's. He enjoyed great repu-
tation as a poet, being placed at the head of the Metaphy-
sical School; and after long neglect has received some
attention within the last few years; bnt bis poetry is sot
of a character oaloulated to gain extensive popularity. He

which, perhaps, have been more generally admired than
his lighter works, were pub. in 3 vols, fol., 1640, '49, '60.
They are now Tory rare, especially the 3d rol. A collec-
tive edit, of his poems, including Elegies on the author's
death, was pub. in 1633, 4to ; 1635, '39, 'SI, '69, 12mo ; with

his Works, including his Sermons, Devotions, Poems, Let-

was pub. in 1839, in 6 vols. Svo, Oxford. We presume that
this edition was suggested by the following query in the
London Quarterly:

" We cannot. In passing, Ibrbear repeating Mr. Coleridge's ques-

of England, and to the literary world In geneml f ' — llx. 6, 1837.

The reader shonld pemse Iiaak Walton's Life of Donne :
his description of him as a preacher is truly eloquent ;

"A preacher in earnest; weeping sometimes for his auditory,
Bometmiea with them; always preaching to himself like an Angel
from a eloud, but in none; carrying some, as 8t Paul was, to hea-
ven hi holy raptures; and enticing others by a sacred art and
eourtsblp to amend their lives ; hers picturing a vice so as to make
U ugly to those that practised it, and a virtue so as to make it he-
lOT^ even by those who loved It not; and all this with a most
particular grace and an inexpressible addition of comeliness."

have already referred to his masterpiece, The Induction
to the Mirrour for Magistrates, (see Baldwik, William,)
and he wrote two pieces of considerable length in this cele-
brated collection. Warton gives SackvUle the merit of
being the primary inventor of the design, but Haalewood
confers it upon Baldwin. See authorities referred to in
article Baldwih, Wiluak. Backvillo is the author, or
Joint-author with Thomas Norton, of the first tragedy of
any consideration in the English language: Ferrer and
Porrex, commonly called Gorbodnc, 1565, 4to. Warton
qnestions Norton's claim to any share in the authorship,
bat the three fitst acts are attributed to him. Gorbodnc is
in five acts, and in regular blank verse, though Wood telle
OS that It is written in " old English rhyme !" — so much
bad it become neglected. Pope determined to revive it,
and Spence aided the design by acting as editor, and a new
•dit. was pub. in 17S8, 8vo. Warton considers the plot to

be " naked and uninteresting," but remarks :

" Yet It must be granted that the langtui^e of Gorbodnc has great
parity and penpleuity ; and thai Hh entlnply fh>o from that tumid
nbranology whldi does not seem to bare taken place till play-vrlt-
Gg had become a trade, and our poets fbnud It tbclr Interest to
captivate the mnltltude by the IkLie sublime, and by ttioee exag-
gerated imageries and pedantic metaphors wblcharvthe blemishes
of lbs scenes of Sbakspeare, and which are at this day mistaken
Ibr his capital bnnties by too many readers. Here also we hare
another and a strongest reason why this pky was never popular."
^JTiaory nf JSn^UsA Aetry.

The same eminent authority eoneaives the Induction to
the Mirrour for Magistrates to have been the model of
Spenser in the representation of allegorical personages,
and he remarks that The Complaint of Henry, Duke of -
Bnckingbam, is written

** With a fbrce and even elegance of expression, a oopionaness of

the day was distinguished for his "moderation and peace-
ableness." -As a poet. Bishop Douglas is entitled to great
respect His principal original composition is The Palice
of Honour, which will foroibly remind tiie reader of Bun-
yao's great allegory.

"The olject of The Pallee of Honour Is to Show tha hiataUllty
and Inauffldency of worldly pomp; and to prove that a constant
and nndevlatlng habit of virtue Is the only way to True Honour
and Happiness, who reside In a magnlHceDt palace situated on the
summit of a high and Inaccessible mountain."

King Hart, the only other poem of much extent written
by Douglas, presents us with scenes of life represented
under appropriate metaphors.

Mr. Hallam does not speak of Douglas's poetry with so
nneh ardour as Warton displays :

■* Warton did well to ezphdn his rather startling expression, that
Bm lowland Scotch and English languages were then nearly the
aams: ft>r I will venture to aay, that no Bngllshman, without
guaaring at every other word, could nndaratand the long paasaga
which he proceeds to quote from Qawln Douglas. It la true that

In orthognphy ; but tills Is the great canae of diversity In dialect
Hw ehaiactar of Oonglaa's original poetry seems to be that of the

critique on Bower's marvellous relations — prove that bis
reputation was not undeserved. Wm. Lander astonished
the literary world in 1791 by publishing an essay to prove
that Milton was a mere plagiarist, that Par«dise Lost was
Iwrrowed from other quarters. To this essay Douglas pub.
an answer in the same year, entitled Milton no Plagiary;
or a Detection of the Forgeries in Lauder's Essay. The
bishop completely established his position. See Laitdsr,
Wm. In 1756, '57, '58, Douglas pub. his four tracts against
Bower. He undertook to prove that the History of tha
Popes was in fact a trans, from a Popish history ! In 1756
he demolished David Hume's argument against the Chris-
tian miracles, in his Criterion or Miracles Examined. This
work has been several times reprinted.

"In this excellent work the sophlatrlea of Hume are ably and
eondaely refuted; the delnaloas of paganism and popery are can-
vaaaed with great acutenass ; and the miraclea recorded In the gos-
pel history are vindicated by unanswerable argnmenta." — BUBOP

Drake, Daniel, M.D., 178S-1852, a native of Plain-

field, N^w Jersey, a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, was a
brother of Benjamin Drake. " When be was quite young,
his parents removed to Mason county, Kentucky, where he
received such an education as the common county schools
afibrded. When grown he wont to Cincinnati, then a vil-
lage, where he studied medicine ,- attended two eonraes of
lectures at the Medical School of tbe University of Penna.,
at Philadelphia, where be graduated ; became a very dis-
tinguished practitioner and teacher of medicine; was a
professor in the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati ; Cincin-
nati-Medical College, do.; Transylvania Medical College,
Lexington, Ky. ; Louisville Medical College, LouisviUe,
Ky. ; Jefferson Medical Collegn,PhiIada. — all distinguished
schools ; where he was associated with the most eminent
men of the profession, and held e<|ual rank with the fore-
most, He was a teacher of medicine nearly all his pro-
fessional life; an able, instructive, and popular lecturer.
He was an original thinker, with an active, vigorous mind,
an ardent temperament, unwearied industry, and a perse-
verance and energy of purpose wholly indomitable, and
capable of extraordinary achievement. A philanthropist
in the largest sense, he devoted himself Oeely and habit-
ually to works of benevolence and measures for the ame-
lioration of distress, the extension of religion and iirtelli-
gence, the good of his feliow-oreatores, the honour and
prosperity of his country. His habits were simple, tem-
perate, abstemious; his labours incessant.

Drake, Sir Francis, 1546-15VS. A list of works,
giving an account of the voyages of this eminent navigator,
will be found in Lowndes's Bibl. Manual. Some of these
were compiled from his own notes, or we should have been
unable to introduce his name, even thus briefly.

A magnifloent copy, extensively illustrated, and expanded
to aiz vols, folio, was sold at Mr. Fauntleroy's sale for
£13t 10*. It was purchased by Mr. Hard ; subsequently
it fell into the band* of Mr. Henry 6. Bohn — always on
tlie lookout for book treasures — and he offered it at the
comparatively low price of £80. Drake and Mr. Csesar
Ward are said to have been the sole authors of The Parlia-

Drake, James, M.D., 1A67-1707, an eminent politieal
writer, physician, and anatomist. His principal works are :
Hist of the Last Parliament, Lon., 1702, 8vo. Historia
Anglo-Seotia, 1703, Sro. These two works gave great
offence, (the latter to the 6oot^) and were burnt by the
hands of the common hangman. Memorial of the Ch. of
England, written in conjunction with Mr. Polly, 1704, 8vo.
This offended the Queen and Parliament, and great efforts
wore made to discover the author. In 1706 he was prose-
oated for pub. Mercnrius Politicus, a newspaper offensive
to tlie government The Sham Lawyer, a Comedy. An-
thropologia Nova; or A Now System of Anatomy, 1707,

Drake, Joseph Rodman, 1795-182fr, a native of
Kew York, l>egan to eontribute poetical compositions to the
iwriodieals at a very oarly age. The first four of the
Croaker Pieces, (pub. in the N. York Evening Post, March
10-20, 1819,) were written by him; after the foDrth num-
ber, Fiti-Greene Halleck was admitted as a partner, and
the literary Arm was henceforth Croaker A Co. The lively
satire of these sallies gave them a great reputation at the
time of their publication. Drake's longest poem is The
'Culprit Fay; his best-known composition, The American
Flag. Their poetical merit is unquestionably of a high
order. In I83A a collection of Drake's poetieu pieces was
pub. by Commodore Dekay, son-in-law of the author,

" The extraordinary mental power and genius of Dr. Drake wexe
matilleated at a very early period; when not over aeven yeara of
age, he liad acquired mach literary tnformatloo ; and at the age of
tnirteen be bad written many versea of merit ... He poaaesaed
craat tenacity of reeoUeetlon and power of quick diaetlmlnatlou.

Drake, Nathan, M.D., 176S-18S6, a Dativs of York,
England, and a descendant of the preceding, was educated
at the University of Dublin. In 1702 he settled at Bad-
leigh, Suffolk, where, for the long term of forty-four years,
he ministered to the health of his patients and the mental
and moral welfare of his race. The following list of his
literary works we extract from the Lon. Gent Mag., Aug.,
1836 : The Speculator ; a Periodical Paper written in con-
junction with Dr. Edward Ash, 1790, 8vo. Poems, 179S,

Noontide Leisure, 1824, 2 vols. Svo. Homings in Springs
1828, 2 vols., Svo. We regret that we have not space to
enlarge npon the merits of Dr. Drake's invaluable works.
They have done much to stimulate a taste for asefU and
elegant literature. In addition to the publications named
above, he pub. a number of professional treatises, and left
in MS. A Selected Version of the Psalms, with eopions
Notes and Illustrations.

We have been surprised and mortifled to notice tbs
shameful ignorance prevailing in America yespecting ths
publieations of this eminent writer. We remember on one
oeoasion listening to an hour's dissertation on Shakspeaia,
ih>m a well-known public lecturer, who confessed, when
we recommended to him the study of Drake's Shakspearo
and his Times, that be had never heard of such a book I
Yet that high authority. Archdeacon Nares, thus commends
this invaluable storehouse of Shakspearean information :

^ No work has hitherto appeared, and we may ventura almoat to
pronounce that none can In ruture be produced. In which ao much
of agreeable aud well-digested Infonnation on this subject will be

literary benefactor of his age :

in men's memory :

The Earl of Dorset proved as kind to his age, sa Sir Wal-
ter Aston had to his earlier years, and under the raof of
this generous nobleman he spent his declining days in rs*
pose and comfort, beloved by his associates, and admirsd
by his countrymen at large.

The Downfall of Robert of Normandy, Matilda, and Qa-
reston were also written before 1598. In 1613, foL, ap-
peared the first of his principal work The Polj-OIbion,
containing 18 songs. This was reprinted in 1622 with the
addition of 12 songs, making 30 songs in ths whole, or
30,000 lines, written in Alexandrian couplets ! This folio
is adorned with 30 maps. In 1627 he pub. The Battaila
of Agincourt, Nymphidia, The Court of Fayrie, The Moos
Calf, Elegies, Ao., fol., and in 1630 he pub. Ilie Muses Kli-
lium, 4tu. Many of his smaller poetical pieces were issaed

a most singular production. Imsigine a poet gravely pro-

None but a great poet ooold hare made such a subject
attractive, and none but a thorough philologist could has*
forced poetry to perform so well the office uf prose. Bishop
Nicolson greatly prefers the first portion to its successor:

Ilshed with Mr. Selden's notes; the other twelve being teidly ca-
pable of such a respect"— l»v{uA But. IM>.

Dryden, JohB,b. Aug. 9, 1(31, d.May 1, 1700, a na-
tive of AldwincUe, Northamptonshire, was a son of Eras-
mus Driden, (the poet preferred the substitution of y,) a
rigid Puritan, of an ancient family of great respectability
in Northamptonshire. The grandfather of the poet, Sir
Erasmus Driden, was created a knight by James I. He
had the good fortune to be placed at Westminster School,
nnder the tutorship of the famous Dr. Busby, the stimulat-
ing properties of whose classic rod are well known to fame.
Whilst there he translated the third Satire of Persius, and
wrote an elegy on the death of Lord Hastings. In 1(50
he was removed to Trinity College, Cambridge, where be
took the degree of B.A. ip January, 1653-.54; in 1657 he
was made A.M. by a dispensation from the AKhblshop of
Canterbury. In the same year he removed to London,
where he obtained employment a* seoratary to a relative.
Sir Gilbert Pickering. At this time he was a great admirer

gjrriek to hie aacred M^jeity, King Charles II., on big Co-

Wild Gallant, which does not seem to hare impressed the
public very favourably. Not discouraged, however, he
soon afterwards gave to the world The Rival Ladies, and
The Indian Emperor. The last made him famous; but,
•las, it made him also a married man 1 It was written in
eoi^nnotion with Sir Rol>ert Howard, through whose means
he became ac()natnted with Lady Elizabeth, eldest daughter
of the Earl of Berkshire. Posts of course must make love
to such of the opposite sex as they happen to encounter;
her* was the daughter of an earl, evidently, too, not ill
pleased with his respectful homage. In an evil day he
wooed and won. The parties soo'u discovered that they
were totally unsnited to each other; (o her ladyship railed,
and the poet revenged himself by

*' Tending suoh bitter sarcasms agaltiBt the matHmenlal state as
too plainly bora evidenee to his domestic misery."

In 1667 appeared Annus Mirabilis, the Year of Wonders,
being an acoount of the events of 1666. Here we have
meh matters noted down as the.Oreat Fire, the Dutch War,
Ae. None hot a great poetical gen iiie could have triumphed
over the prosaie impediments to sueeess in a piece of this
ehaiBcter. The following verses, describing the unhappy
condition of those London citizens whose houses had been
deateoyed by the fire, and those who were spending their
last night under their loved roofs, are truly graphic :
" Those who have homes, when borne they do repair,
To a last lodging call their wandering fVlends;
Their short nneasy sleeps sre brolce with csre.
To look bow near their own destruction comes.
Thoae who have none, sit round wliere ouoe it wai^
And with fall eyes each wonted room lequirs;
Haunting the yet warm ashes of the place.
As murder'd men walk whore they did expire."
Dryden's was now a great name with tho wits, and in
1668 he snceeeded Sir William Davenant as poet-laureate.
His excellent essay upon Dramatic Poetry, published in the
■ame year, proved that the author was not unworthy of bis
new honours. But we are sorry to add, that as a dramatic
author he displays — indeed ostentatiously obtrudes — faults
of the gravest chantcter. No writer seems to be fonder of
what is unholy, unlovely, and of bad report. The becom-
ing decencies at domestic life, the sanctity of the matri-
moDial tie, the respeot due to the ministers of the Christian
failh, and the awital consideration of accountability to tho
Supreme Being, would be deemed strange matters in Dry-
den's dramatic circles.

" Be also brought upon the stage ■ play of which he only wroU
one scene, called The Mistakao. llusbaDd, Comedy, \&ib."

See Biog. Dramat; and for lists of Dry den's varioui
publications, first ediUons, Ac, sec Watt's Bibl. BriL and.
Biog. Brit. To the latter work, to Johnson's and Scott's
Lives of the poet, and to the sources noticed below, we
must also refer the reader for the details of Dryden's lite-
rary life, his friendships and bis quarrels, his successes
and defeats, his trials and his consolations. He was truly
" a man of war from his youth," and his controversies with
the Buckinghams, Rochesters, Shadwells, and Settles of
the day, present any thing but a flattering picture of the
manners and minor morals of that period. We have al-
I ready animadverted upon Dryden's share of culpability in
. those abuses of tho drama which provoked the righteous
' indignation of Jeremy Collier. We were pleased to be
able to record also the acknowledgment and repentance of
the erring dramatist.

That his religious impressionsbecamemore lively towards
the close of his life, we have good reason to believe. Shortly
after the accession of King James he became a convert to
the Church of Rome, in whose communion he yielded up
his last breath. His sincerity, indeed, has been much
doubted both by contemporaries and posterity ; hut we arc
loath to suspect hypocrisy where tho other presumption is
at all tenable. Scott is willing to loan on the side of cha-
rity, and the comments of Dr. Johnson exhibit an ezeelleBt
specimen of his rare powers of comprehensive yet terse
argumentation ;

" That conversion will always be suspected that apparently oon-
eurs with interest. He that never finds his error till It hinders his
progress towards wealth or honour will not Ije thought to love
truth only fbr herself. Yet it may easily happen that inibnnation
may come at a conimodlous time; and, as truth and iutert-st are
not by any btal necessity at variance, that one may by accident
Introduce the otlier. When opinions are struggling Into popularity,
the arguments by which they are opposed or defl»nded become more
known ; and he that cllanges his proftjsston would perhaps bare
changed it before, with the like opportunities of instruction. This
was tlie then statec^ Popery ; every artifice was used to show it in
its fiUreet Ibrm; and it must be owned to be a religion of external
appearanoe sufflcleutly attractive." — Life of Dryden.

The Revolution dissipated the hopes which the polemical
poet had entertained of bettering his embarrassed fortunes ;
and when, two years later, be was called to bis last account,
he left not enough of the substance for which he had so
laboriously toiled to carry him in peace to the "house ap-
pointed for all living."

Without crediting the " wild story" of the dmnken brawl
and "tumultnary and confused" proceedings which are al-
leged to have interrupted the funeral cortege and delayed
the solemn services for the departed, there »eems no reason
to doubt that the body of the most illustrious Englishman
of the day was obliged to wait for its last asylum until tho
completion of a hasty subscription enabled the survivors
to discharge the expenses connected with its interment.
He ties in Westminster Abbey, between the graves of Chau-
cer and Cowley.

Of the family of the poet, his widow died insane, after
■arriving her husband fourteen years, Charles, tho eldest
son, was drowned in the Thames, as already mentioned.
John, the second son, died at Rome in 1701. Erasmns
Henry, the third son, died in 1710; he succeeded to the
title of baronet, which passed to his uncle, the brother of
the poet, and thence to his grandson. The present repre-
sentative of tho family (1855) is Sir Henry Edward Leigh
Dryden, of Canons-Ashby.

It is DOW proper that we should particularise those pro-
ductions of Dryden, In addition to (hose already noticed,
which have secured him so high and so permanent a posi-
tion in the republic of English letters. In accordance with
our custom, we shall adduce the opinions of those who by
their own reputation have earned a right to a respectful
hearing when they pronounce upon tho merits or demerits
of others. Tho limited space to which we are necessarily
confined will be a sufficient apology for the paucity and
brevity of our quotations.

Absalom and Achitophel, 1681, (of the 2d part, 1684, all
but 200 lines of Dryden's was written by Nahum Tate,) is
a poetical satire against the party which by the manage-
ment of Lord Shaftesbury placed the Duke of Monmouth
at its head. The Duke of Buckingham was the ostensible
author of The Rehearsal, 1671, In which Dryden was ridi-
culed under the name of Bayes. The poet now returned
the compliment by representing Buckingham in the cha-

''The greatest Of bis satires Is Abaalom and Acbltopbel, that
work in wtilch his powers became ftally known to the world, and
which, As many think, he norer surpassed. . . . The spontaneous
ease of expreanon,the ntpld transitions, the general elasticity and
moTement, hare never been exceUed.**— Hauam : Introduc. to Lit.

The Medal, a satire against sedition, 1681, may be con-
sidered as a continuation of the preceding. It drew forth
bitter responses, and Shadwell's seal against the satirist
vras rewarded hy bis beooming the hero of Biao Flecknoe,
pub. in the ensuing year.

In this year, also, he gare to the world Religio Laid,
which profcesQB to be a defence of the Holy Scriptures
against deists, papists, and Presbyterians.

Of a far different character, however, are the dogmas
espoused In The Dialogues of the Hind and Panther, 1687,
which is a defence of his newly-adopted church against
the Church of England. We need have no doubts of the
result of a controversy between the milk-white Hind — the
Church of Rome — and the Spotted Panther — the Church
of England. Its effect, however, was rather to injure than
aid the cause which the poet had so much at heart:

" A flible which exhibits two beasts talking Theology, appears at
once full of absnrdtty; and It was accordingly ridiculed In the City
Mouse and Country Mouse, a parody written by Montague, aftor-
wards Earl of Ilall&x, and Prior, who then gave the first specimen
-of his abilities.*' — Dn. Johnsox.

But Mr. Hallam defends the poet's rather unusual vehi-
ole for polemical debate:

"The first lines hi the Hind and Panther are justly reputed
among the most musical to our language; and perinps we observe
th^ riojthm the better because it does not gain much by the sense;
for the allegory and the fiiUe are seen, even In the oommencement,
to be awkwardly blended. Yet not withstanding their evident In-
coherence, which sometimes leads to the verge of sbiturdlty, and
the ftdllty they give to ridicule, I am not sure that Dryden was
wroi^ In ehoosiog Uils Angular ficti<»i. It was his aim to bring
forward an old ai^ument In as novel a style as he could; a dialogue
between a priest and a parson would have made but a dull poem,
even If It had contained some of the excellent paragraphs we read
in the Hind and Panther. It Is the grotesqueness and originality i
of the &ble that gives this poem Its peculiar xest, of which no
reader, I conceive, Is iosenslbla; and It Is aim by this means that 1
Pryden has contrived to relieve his reasoning by short but beau-
tlKd touches of description, such as the sudden stream of light
fVom Heaven which announces the conception of James's unfor-
tunate heir, near the end of the second Iwok.*' — JhUrodue. to XAt.
HUtory.

In 1693 appeared the folio which contained a trans, of
Jnvenal, partly by Pryden, and of Persius, entirely by
Dryden.

'* A version oomplet^ surpassing all before and all who have
succeeded falm." — RiR Waltkr Scott.

His trans, of Virgil, pub. in 1697, has always been held
in the highest estimation by many critics, but perhaps an
equally erudite verdict could be produced against it. Dr.
Felton defends him against the critics :

" Those who excel falm, wfaere they observe he hath Iklled, win
ftll below him In a thousand Instances where he bath excelled."

Dissertation on Reading the Classicks, 1730, p. 130. And
Pope remarks in reference toDryden*B translation of some
parts of Homer:

" Had he translated the whole work, I would no more have at-
tempted Homer after him than Virgil ; his version of whom (not-
withstanding some human errors) Is the most noble and spirited
translation I know la any lauguago." — Pr^fict to I^ipe^M trant. qf
Homer's Iliad.

Dr. Trnpp (see his trans, of Virgil into blank verse, 1735)
and Mr. Hallam may be cited as dissentients from sach
florid panegyric.

In 1700 appeared his Fables, Ancient and Modem, trans-
lated into verse, and modernized from Homer, Ovid, Boc-
eace, and Chancer. These are probably the bdst-known to
the present generation of all Dryden's pieces. Though
not without faults of haste and carelessness, the merits of
this collection are not to be questioned. In addition to
the larger pieces, there are a number of

"Short original poems, which, with his prolMcnes, epflogues, and
songs, may be comprised In Congreve's remark, that irren those,
if he had written nothing ^se, would have entitled him to the
praise of excellence in his kind." — Da. JoHKSox.

The most celebrated of these compositions is the Ode for
St Cecilia's Day, oommonly known by the name of Alex-
ander's Feaat

<* The ode for St. CecllU^s Day, perhaps the last effort of his poetry,

rival. If Indeed there Is any exeeUenee beyond It In soma otlier
(rf Dryden's works, that excellence must be found. Ccmipared with
the ode on KlUlgrew, It may be pronounced perhaps superkir on
the whole, but without any single part«qual to the first stanza (tf
the other."— Db. Jou-'veon.

Mr. Hallam considers that both of these odes have been
much overrated :

'* Dryden's fame as a lyric poet depends a very little on his Ode
on Mrs, Kllligrew's death, but almost entirely on that for St. Ced-
lla's Day, oommonly called Alexander's Feast. The former, which
Is much praised by Johnson, has a few fine lines, mingled with a
tu greater number ill conceived and ill expressed; the whole eoti^
position has that spirit which Dryden hardly ever wanted, but It
fai too faulty for high pialse. The latter used to pass for the best
work of Dryden, and the best ode In the language. Many would
now agree with me that it Is nether one nor the other, and that It
was rather orerrated during a period when criticism was not at a
high point Its beauties indeed are undeniable; It has the red-
ness, the rapidity, the mastery of language which belong to Dry-
den; the mni^Ions are animated, the contrasts effective. But
few lines aie highly poetical, and some sink to the ler^i of * com-
mon drinking-song. It has the defects^ as well as tiie merits, of
that poetry whlchu written for musical aoeompanlment." — IntrO'
due to LiL Hid.

If there be a donbt whether Dryden can claim a plaee
in the first class of poets, there can be no question of his
pre-eminence as a writer of prose. A few opinions upon
this department of. his labours, together with some com-
ments upon hia general charaoteristtcs as an author, mnst
conclude our article.

" The matchleas prese of Dry den, rich, various, natural, animated,
pointed, lending itaelf to the logical and the narratire, as well as
the narrative and picturesque; never balking, nevor cloying
never wearying. The v^our, ftvedom, variety, ooplousnesa, thu
speaks an exhkustless fountain from Its source: nothing can sur-
pass Dryden."— Lord Brocgbah.

The groat Edmund Burke studied the prose of Dryden
with no little interest and profit His principal prose com-
positions are his Bssay en DramaUo Poetry, and his ad-
mirable Prefaces and Dedications.

"Dryden may be properly considered as the father of JBngUA
criticism, as the writer who first taught us to determine upon prin-
ciples the merit of composition. Of our former poets, the greatest
dramatist wrote without rules, conducted through life and nature
by a genius that rarely misled and rarely deserted hfm. Of the
rest, uiose who knew the laws of pK^rlety had neglected to teadi
them." — Da. Jouxsorr.

" Dryden as A critic Is not to be numbered with those who b«vs
sounded the depths of the human mind, hardly with those who
analyse the laoguage and sentiments of poets, and teach others to
Judgebyriiowlugwhytbeyhavejudged themselves. . . . Thestylt
of Di^den was very superior to any that England had seen. He
seems to have formed himself on Montaigne, Balsac, and Yotture;
but so ready was his Invention, so rigorous his Judgment, so com-
plete his mastery over his native tongue, that In point of style bs
must be reckoned above all the three. He had the ease of Meor
tidgne, without his negligence and embarrsBsed structure of pe>
rlods ; he had the d^ity of Baltae, with more varied cadencea
and without his hyperbolical tumour; the unexpected turns of
Volture, without his affectation and air of effort*'— HaU^x, «W

" The prose of Dryden Is the most numerous and sweet the nost
nuUow and gmerotu, of any our language has prodtrasd.**— D>.
Warton : Estaj/ on ibjx.

" There Is no modem writer whose style Is more dlstlngulshod.
Energy And ease are its chief characters. , . . His English is pure
and simple, nervous and clear, to a de^*ee which Pope has never
exceeded, and not always equallod.'*^/>r. Beattie't iMtayt.

Pope's admiration of Dryden is well known. He da-
clared that

" He could select from his works better specimens of every mode
of poetry than any other English writer could supply.

" As to bis writings, I may Tenture to say in general terms, that
no man hath written in our language so much, and so varioas
matter, and In so various manners, so well. *. . . His prose had all
the clearness Imaginable, together with all the nobienefis of eX'
presslon, all the graces and ornaments pn]per and peculiar to It
without derlatlng Into the language or dktton of poetry. I have
heard him flneqnently own with pleasure, that if he had'anj talent
oS English prose, it was owing to his having often read the writ-
ings of the great Arehblsbop TlUotaon. His versification and his
numbers be could kam of nobody: for he first possessed those
talents In perfection In our tongue; and they who nave succeeded
In them since his time have been indebted to bis example; and
the more they have been able to Imitate him, the better they hare
succeeded." — GoiroRKVi : Dedication qf Drydai'i Drawtatic wwrfct (s
tJu Duke o/NeweaxtU,

" I cannot pass by that admirable English poet without endea-
vouring to make hw country sensible of the obllgatlonB they owe
to his Muse. Whether they consider the flowing grace of bta vei^
siflcatlon, the rigorous salljee of his fiincy, or the peculiar delleacT

Dugdale, Sir William, 1605-1686, one of the most
distinguiabed of the many learned antiquaries of whom
Bngland ean boast, was a native of Shustoke, near Coles-
hill, Warwickshire. He was educated at the free-school
of Coventry, and afterwards instructed in civil law and
history by his father. In 1638 he fettled in London, and
formed an acquaintance with several noted antiquaries,
whose inflnence promoted his taste for the departments
of learning in which they delighted. By the aid of Sir
Henij Spwman he was created a pursuivant-at-arms ex-
traordinary, by the name of Blauoh Lyon; in 1640 was
made Boage-Croiz-porsiuvaat in ordinal?, and in 1677

wis solemnly created Qarter principal king-at-arms. Th«
next day, much against his will, the king conferred upon
him the honour of knighthood. To this step Charles II.
was no doubt incited hj gratitude, as much as by the e:^-
traordinary merits of the antiquary, for Dugdale bad been
one of the most devoted adherents of Charles I. We pro-
ceed to notice his principal works: 1. Monnsticon Angll-
canum, Londini, 1655, '61, '73, 3 vols. fol. Vols. i. and iL
were collected and written by Roger Dodsworth, but ar^
ranged, supplied with indexes, and corrected through the
press, by Dugdale. Dodsworth died before the tenUi part
of the first vol. was printed. The general preface to the
Monasticon was written by Sir John Mnrsbam, Vol. L
was reprinted with sddits. in 1682, and the whole work was
epitomized in English, page by page, by James Wright,
the historian of Rutlandshire, in 1695, 1 vol. fol. Another
edit, abridged, in English, was pub. in 1718, fol., and two
additional vols., entitled The History of the Ancient Ab-
beys, Monasteries, HospitalB, Cathedrals, and Collegiate
Churches, were pub. in 1722, '23, fol., by Capt John Ste-
vens. Mr. Peck announced a fourth voL as nearly ready
in 1735, (never pub.,) and left some MS. vols, in 4to, now
in the British Museum. See Nichols's Literary Anecdotes,
and Ayscough's Catalogue, vol. i., p. 55-67. A new edit,
of the Monasticon, considerably enlarged and improved
by John Caley, Henry Ellis, and the Rev. B. BandiDel,D.D.,
was pub. in 54 parts, 1817-30, at £141 15<. ; on imp. foL,
largo paper, proofs, £283 IQs, Re-issue, 1846, 8 vols. foL,
£31 10s. ; in 1849 at 20t. pr. part Pub. as Coney's Archi-
tecture of the Middle Ages, in parts, containing 12 plates,
at one guinea each. The new edit, 1817-30, (again, 1846,
Ac.) of the Monasticon, contains 241 views of ecclesiasti-
cal edifices — Monuteriea, Abbeys, Priories, Ac. — engraved
by Coney after the originals by Hollar and King.

we need only mention that the cost of drawing and en-
graving the plates was six thousard odihbas I

Of the value of this great work it would be diffioolt to
speak in terms of exaggeration ;

" Next to Doomsday Book, it Is the most ancient and ample r^.
cord of the falstory snd descent of the greatest portion of the landed
property of this country, snd has been admitted as evldenoo In a
court of justice, where the original documents had perished. To
the Clergv this work possesses an interest not only of an antiqua-
rian and historical character, bnt one which has a more solid ehiim
to Tuna KoTics. By its means they are fteqoently enabled to sei*
tie, without employing the costly machinery of the law, disputed
questions respecting the property of the Cbnrcfa; and a reftrence
to a Tory copious Index added by the Editors to the Work, will
show at once that there is scarcely a single parish which is not
mentioned In Its pages.

*'The Clergy, the Lawyer, the Antiquary, the Historian, the
Architect, and Topographer, as well as the possessor of real pro-
perty, will find the Monasticos Anoucasuv one of the most Inte-
resting and indispensable works that has ever Issued fTom the preM
of this country."

and many interesting particulars respecting the author, in

Hamper, 1827, r. 4to.

in 1718, fol., givingan account of a number of Cathedral
and Collegiate Churches. He was the chief promoter of
Somner's Saxon Dictionary, Oxon., 1659, fol. Wo have
already referred the reader to Hamper's Life of Sir William
Dugdide : we idso notice a life of him in the Heraldic Mis-
cellanies, pub. by the Rev. James Dallaway ; another Life
from an original MS., 1713, 8vo, and letters between Dug-
dale and Sir Thomas Browne in the posthumous works of
the latter, 1712, 8vo. We may appropriately conclude out
notice of this great man with the fervid eulogy of a Her-
oules in the same field of research :

" What Dogdale hath done is prodigious. His memoiy ought
to be venemted and had In everlaatlug remembraase." — AKTB09T
Wood.

As an illustration of the term "prodigious," we may re-
mark that Sir William left 27 folio MS. vols., written by
Ai'f oira hand, to the Univorfity of Oxford ; and these con-
tain the collections for only two of his works, viz. : The
Antiquities of Warwickshire, and the Baronage of Eng-
land. Of 16 other MS. vols., part of his legacy, some were
also in his own handwriting. These monuments of indus-
try, learning, and researeh are now in the Bodleian Li-
brary, the Heralds' College, and the Ashmolean Museum.
Sir William's daughter was married to the famous Ellas
Ashmole : of this learned antiquary, and his widow, we
hare already discoursed at length on a preceding page.
See AsHVOLS, EuAg.

If any of our countrymen — ^who are not generttlly sup-
posed to feel the most lively interest in the records of the
past, save as they pertain to the title-deeds and other secu-
rities of real estate — feel inclined to blame us for lingering
long over the names of the Ashmolcs, the Camdens, the
Qoughs, and the Nicholses, of whom a utilitarian age is
not worthy, we shall commend to their meditations the fol-
lowing true maxim, with the hope of a profitable result :

** A contempt for antkiuity Is rightly oousldefed as the mark of a
mean and narrow InteUeot, of an uneducated and Illiberal mind.**

Where would have been tha history, the art, the philoso-
phy, of past ages, had then been no provident conserva-
tors, wise for all generations, to transmit these precious
relics to their descendants?

commendation of a distinguished Greoian must have been
highly gratifying to Professor Dunbar:

■■ Jfy Sear Lord:—! am greatly obliged to yoa >>r having per.
mitted me to see Professor Dunbar's QreekLezMon. It Is Infinitely
the Iteet work which I have ever seen. It has already been of great
service to me, who, as you know, am an humble but a moat aMeat

of St Aodrew'i, and afterwards, becoming a Frenolaeaa
friar, tntT«Iled in Scotland, England, and France, as a
mendicant preacher. He was snbseqnently emploTed in a
diplomatic capacity b; James IV., and resided at his court
in receipt of a pension. Of his poems bnt little was kikown
vntil the beginning of the last centary, when many of them
were print^ from the MSS. in which they had long re-
posed. Some of his pieces had been pub. by Chapman
and Millar in 1608. Thirty of Dunbar's prodDctions are
to b* fonnd in the Ancient Scottish Poems, pnb. fh)m the
MB. of Oeorge Bannatyne. In 1B34 a complete edit of
Ilia works was pab. by David Laing. He excels both in
moral and hnmorons poetry ; and is pecnliarly happy in en-
listing allegory in the advocacy of truth. His principal
allegorical poems are, The Thistle and Rose, The Dance
of the Seven Deadly Sins through Hell, and The Qolden
Terge. The Twa Married Women and the-Widow exhibits
a specimen — not the most delicate in the world — of bis
Tein of humour. Whether the Friars of Berwick be really
his, seems matter of some donbt The Merle and NighU
in^e may be cited as a poem of great merit

Sir Walter Scott declares that Dunbar is " unrivalled by
any poet that Scotland has yet produced," and Mr. Ellis
alio styles bira the " greatest poet that Scotland has pro-
duced." This is surely high praise. For an elaborate
review of Dunbar's poetry, we must refer the reader to
"Walton's Hist of English Poetry. See also Biog. Brit ;
Pinkerton's Ancient Scottish Poets ; Lives of the Scottish
Poets. Waiion remarks, after an examination of the
Dannce:

■■ I bare been pHdlz In my dtations and eipUnatloos at this
poem, beeauM I am of opinion that the Imagination of Dunbar Is
not less suited to ntlrind than to Bubllme Allegory; and tbat be
la the first poet who has appeared vrlth any dej;:roe of spirit In this
way of writing sinoe Plen Plowman. Ills Thistle and Rose and
OoUao Twge am generally mentioned as his capital works, but
tbe natural com^xion of nls genius Is of the moral and didactic
east."— Hti<. o/BtiglUK FDOn.

Bnt Mr. Pinkerton thinu that this judgment must not
be taken too strictly :

** The GoldJnTerKeM moral; and so are many of bis small pieces:
but humour, desrrlpUon, allegory, great practical genius, and a
Test wealth of words, all unite to form the complexion of Dun-
bar's poetry. He unites In himsdi; and generally surpasses, the
Sualltlee of the chief old Kngllsh poets; the morals and satire of
angland ; Chaucer's humour, poetry, and knowledge of life; the
allegory of Oower; the description of Lydgate."— .Sbetti'tk Axd.

The Golden Terge, though moral in its design, is a pa-
rody on the Popish litanies; surely an nnfit subject for
■neh a pivpose.

lb. Bills unitet in the genertd commendation of Dnn-
iNtr*! poetry:

"Dunbat's peculiar ezeellenes Is much good sense and sound
morality, expiesaed with foroe and eondaeoess. Ilis style, vtaettaer
grave or humorous, whether simple or ornamented. Is always
energetic; and though all his compositions cannot lie expected to
possess equal merit, we seldom And in them a weak or redundant
■lansa."— .^t>«:naffl<o/J!iiriy EnflUh Pixtry.

Irishman. Whilst yonng he Joined the Minorite, friars,
who sent him to Ozford, where he was admitted into Her-
ton College, of which he became Fellow. In 1301 he suc-
ceeded William Tarron as Profes. of Theology at Oxford,
and tanght with such eloquence and acceptance, that 30,000
scholars thronged around his chair. We cannot, however,
roach for the comctnesa of the numbers. In 1304 he re-
moved to Paris, and about 1307 was placed at the head of
the tbeolcgioal school of that famed city of learning. He
If said to havo been tb« iint teacher of the doctrine of ths

the eulogies which were lavished upon the Babtlc Doctor
by his followers :

" He was ao cooaummatea phtlesoplier, that be could have besa
the inventor of pbiloeophy. If It bad not baftmaxlated. [How un-
foriunatelf HIa knowledge of all the myaterlaa of Kellglon was
ao prolband and perfect that It was rather Intuitive certalnW than
belief: He deaerlbed the dWIne nature >a If he had aeen God;—
the sttrlbntas of eekatlal apirita aa If be bad been an angel;— the
felldtlas of a future atata aa If be had eqjaed tbean^-and the
wayaof providence as If be bad penetrated Into all Its secrets. He
wrote ao many books, that one man la hardly able to read them;
and no one man la able to underatand them. He would have
written more, If he bad compoaed with leaa care and aeninuv.

The candid confession that no aaan could understand the
Subtle Doctor's profundities reminds us of a saying attri-

disciples only one had understood him, — and he misnnder-
stood him !

DnpoBceaii, Peter 8., 1760-1844, a native of the
Isle of Rhi, on the western coast of France, was for some
time secretary to Count de G£belin, author of the Monde
Primitif. Baron Steuben, however, prevailed upon him to
resign this quiet post, and acoompany him to America as
his secretary and aide-de-camp. They landed at Ports-
mouth, Kew Hampshire, Deo. 1, 1777, and on the ISIh
February ensuing, Mr. Duponoean was appointed a captain
by brevet In the army of the United States. In 1780 his
ill health obliged him to leave the army, and in October,
1781, he was appointed secretary to Robert R. Livingston,
bead of the Department of Foreign Affairs. After holding
the ollle* for about 19 months, Mr. Duponoean commenced
the atndy of the law, and was admitted an attorney in
June, 178S. In his new profession he soon rose to great
eminence, and felt unwilling to resign his increasing busi-
ness for the office of Chief Jnstioe of Louisiana, which
waa tendered to him by President Jefferson. Mr. Dnpon-
eaau remained a resident of Philadelphia until his death,
taking an active interest in legal, philosophical, and philo-
logiciJ pursuits, and esteeming as not the least of ^e re-
wards of his labours, an election to a Corresponding Mem-
bership of the French Institute. The same learned body
awarded to him the prise of " Linguistique," founded by
Volney, for a Memoir on the Indian Languages of North
America, (in French,) which was subsequently pub. in Paris.
Mr. D. pub. several other works, and was the author of
many memoirs communicated to literary and soientifio
societies, addresses, essays, and minor pieces. See Encye.

which be fieqnented left him little leisure for such proHt-

reduced to great difficulties by the importunities of a sat
of men, who of late years had furnished him with the ao-
eommodations of life, and would not, aa we aay, be paid

Wh*n abont 19, Dwight oommeneed the eomposition of
hil principal poem, an epic in eleven booki, entitled The
Oonqnest of C^ean ; oompleted in 1774, whan the anther
was not quite 23 yean of age.

" We era tnelinad to think ttaera I* •oaMthIng too nnpoeUeel In
the author's adapUtioii of manoan to the panons of nil poem.
Ha hu Btndied (to me his own words) *a medium between abeo-
luta barbarism and modem reflnament. In the bast chaiaetan,
he has endeaToured to repreaeut sneh mannen as are remoTed
^ from the pecuHaritlea of anj age or conntiT, and might belong to
the amlaole and rlrtnons of arerr aga.* . . . Corremoodlng with
the laws which the 'author preacrlbed to Umaelf In nb Ooniuest
of Canaan, he made eveiy thing too common. There Is little that
ta reallT dlstlDctlTe, little that Is truly oriental, abont anjr of bis
persons or soenea. A certain equable current of nnexoeptionable,
and oftentfanea pleasing^ thoughts and expreaslons flows tbiongh
the poem, it Is occasionally animated, and, in deacHpUon, aonie-
tinea pktnreafue and poetlcaL The Tenifleatlon, though greatly
monotonous, baring little Tarlety In the pauses. Is for the moat
pari uncommonly smooth. In the expression of strong emotion,
uare la avoldanee of all offenslTe extntragance, if It do not reach
the gannlna ardour or pathoa of the bubeat order of poetry.
HaTlng said thus much, we tear we bare sud all that Is due to this
poeticu work; nor do we say tbla to deduct any thing from the
Ugh and well-deeerred repntatlon of President I>wlght. It Is but
the lot of a single man to excel in erery thing; and It is often our
mlafoftnna to make a Use estimate of onr own poweta, and to
stake too much of our Intalleetnal wealth on the lace in wUch we
are unable to reach the goal,** — 8. WiixAao, jV. >iBwr. JRn^ TlL S47.

^ Borne of the pamages which I hare quoted from the Conquest
of Canaan are doubtless equal to any American poetry produced
at this period.** — Grittool^t iVti ama JPbelrjf nf America, to which

In 1777 Dwight waa licenaed to preach in the Congraga-
tional Chnreh, and in the same year entered the army as a
^aplain; resigned his commiaaion in 1778; lieoame pastor
of ue Congregational Chnreh in Qreenfleld, Conn., 1783 ;
Prerident of Yale College A?om 1796 until his death in
1817. Besides acting as President, Dr. Dwight disebarged

These notes of travels are the results of historical, topo-
gnphieal, and statistical eoUeotions made during trips in
the summer vacations.

"The work befcre us, though the bumbleat In Its pretences. Is
the most Importantof his writings, and will deriveaddltlonal value
from time, whatever may become of his poetry and of his sermona
... A wish to gratify those who, a bundled years hence, might
ftel cariosity concerning his natlTe country, made him resolre to
pepare a fldthftil description of Its existing state. He made notes,
thepBtbre, and ooUeoted on the spot. . . . The rennarks upon nato-
lal history are tboae of an observant and ngadons man who makea
no pretensions to sdeuce; they are more intaieatlng, tberalbre,
than those of a merely sdentlflc traveller; and, lnde«l, scienoe Is
not leas Indebted to such obnerrera, than history to the Iklthfnl
tfironlelan and humbler annalists of fbnaer times.** — Bob^t Sod-

One would hardly suppose, from the disparaging i«to-

•nee which Mr. Bonthey makes to Dr. Dwight^s "SemoBt,"
that his "Theology" waa even at that time (1823) in hi^
estiination with the beat judges; yet such was the ease:
nor is there much danger that this profound and eorapra-
hensive work will ever lose the positioii whieh it has M
justly acquired:

" No production of the tianaatlantle press hss met with so ^
vourable a reception In this conutiy, and experienced so extanstve
, a clrculatlou, as this work of President Dwight Nor Is its popo>
larity likely to be ephemeral. It bean the Impreas of a moat pow-
erful mind, and will pass down to poatarity, both In the Old and
New Worid, as the work of one of the mastarqiirita of the Chrl*'
tian Church."— Ona<*i BM. Bib.

** few books have been more cordially received, or more wUsly
dreulated, tfaan this work of Protbssor Dwight The doctrinal sen-
timents which it contains are those of modetateGal*lntsm; the
anrannment Is distinct and methodical, [Mr. Orme thinks othsF'
wise;] the nneral style and manner chaste and neat, well adapted
to the devdopeaent of a scbeme of didsetic theology. It is not
a work of extraordinary depth or originality of thon^t; but Is
worth reading, and Is very naefUI as s book of reArancs.** — WS-

"The long and anxiously expected labouia of Mr. Dyoe have at

poet presenting the most perfret text now to be obtained, with
brief annotations, sufficient lor all practical pnrpoaea.'* — Lnn. Athen.

Mr. Dyce is said to be now engaged upon a translation
of Athenaeus. We have already hwl occasion to refer to
some of the labours of this industrious commentator, and
■hall have other opportunities as we pass under review the
authors whose merits he has illustrated and whose obscuri-
ties be has explained. As to the erudition and critical
taste of Mr. Dyce in the department of literature whieh
he has selected, we presume there will be no question, save
perhaps on the part of that rivalry which is always slow
to perceive merit in dissent The following brief testi-
monies from three eminent authorities must sufliee for the
present article:

" We take this opnortunlty of expressing onr veir high opInioB
of the diligence, aklll, and Jndgment of the Rev. Alexander Dyce,

and still leas to Improve.** — Lon. Qnar. Sn.

been deeply persuaded of the great influeuce for good
which could be effected by a comprchenaivc exhibition of
the true principlea of morality as baaed upon the only in-

do not pretend to endorse all of Mr. Bymond's premises
and oonolnsions, yet we most record our eonviotion that
his essay is one of the most valnable works in the lan-

desire to maintain " a conscianoe roid of offence towards Ood

to see with what eaee he overthrows alt the prevloos standards of

Doted for bis success in ridicule, but on subjects of a serions
character did not appear to much advantage. Baker, of
St. John's College, Cambridge, was greatly disappointed
when be went to hear him preach, and Swift tells us

" I have known men happy enough at ridicule, who, upon grave
subjects, were perfectly stupid ; of which Dr. Eachard, of Cam-

The History of England to 1688, 1707-18, 3 vols. fd.
The author enumerates many authorities, informing us that

" From all these IliaTe compiled ahlstory as full, eomprehenstvSL
and complete, as I could bring Into the compass of the proposed
slae and blgnesa. And that nothing might be wanting, 1 tiare all
the way enriched it with the best and wisest sayings of great men
that I could find in larger volumes, and likewise with surb sfaori
moral reflections, and such proper oharacten of men, as might give
life as well as add Instruction to the history."

Calamy, who thought the historian had misrepresented
the Nonconformists, and Oldmixon, who conceived that ho
discovered many historical blunders, both attacked our
author. See Dr. Calamy's Letter to Echard, 171S, and Old-
mixon's Critical Hist of Eng., Ac But nothing did mon
to injure the work than Echard's recital of Lindsey's story
of the conference and contract between Oliver CromweU
and tbe Devil on the morning of tbe battle of Worcester.
Echard by no meuis endorses the truth of the narration,
but he dismisses the subject with a sly innuendo—or per-
haps intended pleasantry : —

" How &r Lindsey is to be believed, and how fiu- tbe story Is to
he accounted credible, is left to tbe reader's flilth and Judgment
and not to any determination of our own." — Vol. 11. p. 713. ed. 1718.

Echard's History lost its popularity after the publication
of Tindal's trans, of Rapin's. The large circulation of the
former work was owing in part to the coovenience of his
arrangement:

"This history, being chiefly intended Ibr the nsefUl dlvervlon of
tbe nobility and gentry, Is put in such a method as appeared to he
the least irksome to the reader; every reten being divided Into so
many stages or periods, as give frequent opportunities of pauss
and rest" — BiSBOp Nicolsox: Enff. Hiit. Lib. 61.

His opponent. Dr. Calamy, also praises this feature a(
well as other merits of the History :

"The clearness of your method, and the perspicuity of your lan-
guage, are two very great excellencies, which I admire, i am sla-
gularly pleased with the refteshlng divisions of your matter, and
the chfonologlcal distinction of the several parts of your history."

But the doctor proceeds to enumerate grave objections
to the sprightly chronicler:

" I neither admire many of the authors which jou cite, nor your
way of citing them : and 1 have some reason to think I am not
singular In either. Many of the authors that are cited by yon
have so little credit in tbe irorld as to be fkr fVom giving sulBcMit
warrant to justify your inserting things from them into an his-
tory that should give an account to posterity of past transactlona
And your way of citing them is liable to very great ohjectlons." —

Edgeworth, C. Snerdr UemoiTs of the Abb6 Edge-
worth, Lon., 1815, 8ro.

Edgeworth, Maria, 17C7-1840, waa the danghter of
Biehard XxiTell Bdgeworth, of EdgeworUiVtawn, in the
eoooty of Longford, Ireland; a gentleman dietingniafaed
not only for literary taste and mechanical ingenuity, but
■lao as the snecessful wooer of four ladies, who in turn ae-
oepted his hand. Maria, a daughter of the first marriage,
was bom in Oxfordshire, and resided in England until
1782, when her father succeeded to the family estate, and
removed to Ireland. Mr. Edgeworth took a lively Interest
in the cause of education, and was pleased to find in Maria
•n able literary coadjutor. In 1 798 appeared a Treatise on
Practical Education, a joint production. Miss Edgeworth
pnb. in 1810, Early Lessons, in ten parts, and ber father
added a continuation in 1815, 2 vols. 12mo. Another joint
work, which attained great popularity, An Essay on Irish
Bulls, made its appearance in 1802. Mr. Edgeworth is
supposed to have had a share in several other compositions
pub. by Maria. Castle Rackrent, issued in 1801, was the
first of a series of novels which proved the possession of
powers of a diversified oharaoter— descriptive, philosophi.
cal, pathetic, and humorons^^seldom combined in one in-
dividual. Nor is this the highest praise which is to be ao-
oorded to Miss Edgeworth. In Belinda, Leonora, The
Modem Oriselda, Moral Tales, Popular Tales, the Tales of
fashionable Life, Patronage, Harrington, Ormond, Helen,
Ac., we are made to feel that our amusement is not the
only, nor the principal, object of the writer who so charms
OS. It will be our own fault if mental and moral improve-
ment—a desire to gain knowledge, to be good, and to do
food — are not promoted by the pen of Maria Edgeworth.
lut in her anxiety to teach profiubte lessons to those who
bad already assumed the responsibilities of life. Miss Bdge-
worth did not permit herself to forget the objects of ber
•arly care, to whose instruction she had devoted the first
fhiits of her clear and practical intellect In 1822 she pub.
Bosamond, a Sequel to Early Lessons ; which was fallowed
by Hany and Lucy, and The Parent's Assistant. She eonv-
pletedin 1S20 a Memoir of ber father, (oommeneed by him,)
who died in 1817. We give the oontents of the ooUeotive
edition of Miss Edgeworth's Novels and Tales, puK in 18
rols. 12mo, Lon., 1832:

In 1834 Miss Edgeworth gave to the world Helen, the
last, and one of the most popular, of her novels ; and — ^true
to her early predilection for the instruction of youth — closed
her nseftil labours by the juvenile story of Orlandino. A
new eoUective edition of her Tales and Miscellaneous Pieces
was pub. in 1848, Lon., 9 vols. 12mo. Of several of her
works there have been numerous editions. In America, as
well as at home, her works have been widely circulated,
and are highly valued. We could occupy many pages, if
permitted by our limits, with commendations by the highest
uthorities of Miss Edgeworth's compositions. A few brief
•ztracts must sufllce :

will be found in the Edinburgh Review, xxii. tit:

"The taste and gallantry of the age," rsnurkitbtdtittivilbM
critic, " may have at last prattj generallT iBBcttoBed tb* ardnt
admiration with which w* greeted the first steps o( this dhUfr

fulshed lady In her literary career; but the calmsr iiMtt of tts
outh can hardly yet comprehend the exbilarstlng elect ibkh kK
reappearance unllbrmly prod uoee upon the BatnrBiiieeoBi]dex]OB of
their Northern Reviewers."

** Her extraordinary aaerit, both as a noreUat aad t weoaa af
genius, consists In her having aalscted a class of vlrtnH fcr mn
difficult to treat as the sulflect of fiction than otlien,aBd vbkh
had therefore been left by former wiiten to ber."— Jb-/itaui Jfacb-
intoth,

** As a writer of tales and novels, she has a very nwtad pMS>
llarlty. It is that of venturing to dlspeaaa oooubob mtm t» kv
readers, and to bring tbem within the predneta of nal Itbist
natural feeling. She presents tbem with no Incrvdibk adTeatans
or InconcetTable aentlments, no hyperbolical icpreaeBtatjQBi pf
uncommon character or monstrous exhibitions of oMffH^ui
passion. Without excluding lore firom ber page*, she knowi kov
to assign to it its jnst limits. She oeltber degrades the KDttoast
from its true dignity, nor lifts it to a burlesque eteratlon. It takes
its proper place among the passtons. Ber heroes and keidaas, If
such they may be called, are never mlraculonsly good, nor detist-
abiy wicked. They are such men and women as we see and csa-
verse with every day of our lives ; wHh the same proeorttoeal ■!>■
ture in them of what Is right and what Is wrong, or wtaat Is pmi
and what is little."— Loa> Dtolit: Lon. Quar. Ka^ 9. IIA, UlL

" The writings of Miss Edgeworth exhibit so singular au aalca
or sober sense and inexhaustible Invention — so mhiutc • knoe-
ledge of all that dlstlngutalies manners, or touches on kappissa
in every condition of human tbrtnne— and so Just an estimate botk
of the real 80urceSQfeu|oyment,a&dof the illustons by which tksf
are so often obstructed,— that it cannot be thought woodeilU tbil
we slKmld separate her from the ordinary maauftetnrw of wmK
and speak of her Tales as works of more sarloas imporlaseatka
much of the true history and solemn pbUosoiiliy that coats Sally

pages in any of her writings, without fteling, not only ikat tka
whole, but that every part of them, was intended ts do (oed."—

Edwards, Jonathan, 1703-1768, an eminent meta-

Windaor, in the province of Connecticut His ancaaton,
who were BngUsfa, emigrated to America in the reign of
Queen Eliiabeth. Hia father, Rev. Timothy Edwards, waa
paator of a church in Windaor for aixty years. In 1716
Jonathan became a student of Tale College, where he re-
eeired the degree of B.A. in his seventeenth year. He
evinced at an early age tliat lore for metaphysical atudiea
which waa the principal oharaoteriatio of his very remark-
able intellect. When only thirteen, he read Locke On
the Hnman Underatanding, with a keener delight than a
" miaer feels when gathering up handAila of ailver and gold
fkvm aome newIy-Jdiseovered treasure." In 1722 he waa
Ueensed to preaeli, and exercised bis ministry for eight
Bontlis in the city of New York ; his congregation being
•omposad of English Presbyterians. Returning home in
the spring of 1723, he devoted himself to his studies. In
the ensuing spring be took his Hsster's degree, and whilst
at New Haven was appointed tutor in Yale College. The
duties of this post he performed with great succesa and
reputation. In September, 1726, he accepted an invitation
to become the colleague of hia mother's father, Mr. Stod-
dard, in a ehuroh at Northampton. He was installed in
Tebniary, 1727, and continued the diacharge of hia minia-
tailal dtttiea in thia post for twenty-four years. In July of
this year he was msrried to Hiss Sarah Piempont

Wliilat sealously employed in his elforta for the apiritnal
Improvement of his cnarge, Mr. Bdwards was pained to
And that aome young men of the congregation had im-
ported a number of improper books, and were engaged in
drealating them, to the great injury of good morals. De-
termined to arrest the evil, he spared not in hia reprooft a
Bomber of the memliers of the moat influential ikmiliea,
who wen Itnown to lie ofiendera. Thia praiaeworthy leal
elicited much dislike, which waa Increaaed by hia insisting
on holiness of life in all who approached the table of our
Lord. After several meetings of the memliers of hia oon-
gregation, it waa finally put to rote whether he should con-
tinue to act aa their paator : it ia melancholy to be obliged
to atate that this good man was q]e?ted by a majority of 180.

VDW

Bb. Bdwards now removed to Btoekbridge, Hasssoha-
setts, where he preached to the Indians and a few wUts
heanrs. During hia residence at this station, he devoted
hia leisure houra to writing hia principal works. It was
here that he completed his design of preparing a treatise
on the subject of JTrse Will:

"It was not tiU the month of Jnlj, 1762, that he appears to
have resnmad his studies on the suhlect of free will; ftir the 7th
of that month he writes Dr. Ersklne that he hoped soon to beat
leisure to resume his deelgii, and givee him another sketch of the
plan of his book, in which, tiiongh there be nothing new, than ta
mora than In that which he li^ ftirmerly sent him. Whatever
opinion may be held with regard to Mr. Kdwards's argument, H
must appear astonlstalng to those wlio are caiiaUe <rf appradatlnc
the dUBcalty of his subject, that, in nine months finm the date of
thli letter, on the Mth of April, lTi>3, he could write Dr. Knkina
that he liad almost finished the flrat draught of wliat he originally
intended, though he was under the necessity of delajiDg t£s pub-
lication tUl be knew the reenlt of propoeals which he had circulated
Ibr printing his book by subacription. This book was published
in 1764; and, tbongh he had made some progress In preparing his
materials before he left Northampton, was certainly written, and
nearly conpletsd, within the time ascertained by the two letters
referred to, and must be admitted to convey a very striking idea
both of his mental reeonrces and of bis literary ardour."— flu UsssT
MoncBnrr: IfWumxri Hft of Dr. Mrttine.

In 1767, on the death of his son-in-law, the Rev. Aaron
Burr, (father of Aaron Burr, afterwards Vice-President
of the TTnited States,) Mr. Edwards was chosen hia sna-
oeaaor oa Preaident of tiie College of New Jersey, at Prlnoe-
tOD. Thia nnexpected call found him deeply engaged in
projecting several extensive theological works, among
which were, A History of the Work of Redemption, and a
Harmony of the Old and New Testaments. Quided by the
eonnael of several judicious friends, he accepted the pixif-
fered ofBce, and removed to Princeton in January, 1768.
On the 16Ui of the next month he assumed the duties of
the presidency, from which he waa removed by death on
the 32d of Mareh enauing. Hia death waa caused by an
attack of the smoll-pox, then prevailing in the town. Ur.
Edwards had been inocnlated abont a month before his
deoeasa.

Hia Treatlaa on Original Sin, in anawer to Dr. Taylor,
of Norwich, waa finiahed in the year before his death. It
is said that even Taylor acknowledged that he was defeated.
The excellent Treatise on the Religious Affections, pub.
1746, has been highly oommended as one of the best ever
penned upon thia most important theme. In addition to
these works) Mr. Edwarda pnbliahed Sermons, 1731, '34,
'38, '41, '44, '46, '52. A Narrative of the Work of Ood in
the Convenion of many hundred souls in Northampton, in
1736. Thoughts on the Revival of Religion, 1742. An
Attempt to Promote Agreement in Prayer for the Revival
of Religion, 1746. Life of D. Brainerd, 1746. An In-
quiry into the Qualifications for full Communion in the
Churab, 1749. A Reply to S. Williams's Answer to the In-
quiry, 1752. After his death, there were published flrom
his M8S. 18 Sermons (with his life) by Dr. Hopkins, 1766;
The History of Redemption, 1774; On the Nature of Troa
Virtue, 1788; Gkid's Lost End in the Creation; 83 Ser-
mons; 20 Sermons, 1789; Miscellaneous Observations,
1793; Miscellaneous Remarks, 1796.

Mr. Edwards's principal work, A Careful and Strict In-
quiry into the modem prevailing notion that Freedom of
Will ia supposed to be eaaential to Moral Agency, is un-
doubtedly the great bulwark of Calviniatic theology. Aa an
intellectual production, it provea its author to have been
one of the greatest metaphysicians that the world has ever
seen. We have many teatimonies to support thia assertion ;

" I eonsldsr Jonathan Edwards the greatest of Uie sons of men.
He nmks with the brighteet luminaries of the Christian diureh,
not excluding any eonntiy, or any age, since tlie apoetoUe." — ^Bo>

BEST Wait.

"That great mostei^miod, Jonathan Bdwards, whose doo^
sighted observation, dear Jnditment, and unbending llillliniliiiisa.
were of the vaty highest order."— Os. J. Pra Sioth.

Dr. Enkine veiy happily groups together the ohataete-
ristics of our author:

"Jonathan Edwards was remarkable tir the peoetmtloQ and
extent of hia nndacstanding, ibr his powers of erIticlBm and accn.
late distinction, quickness of tlionght, solidity of Judgment, and
ftirce of reasoning. . . He very early discovered a genius abore the
ordinary slse^ which gradually ripened and expanded l^ dally
exertion and application. By nature he was ftirmed tir a KMidaa
and a metaphyatclan; hut, by speculation, obeervation, and coor
vwaa, greatly tanprored. He hod a good Inaigbt into the vhola
dicle at libsiBl arts and sciences; poaseased a rery ralnable stock
of r1irrt"fl' learnings philosophy, Tnathematii^ history, and duo.
nology."

Dr. Enkine, an excellent Judge of men and books, in-
troduced several of our author's writings to the British
public, "and declared that he did not think our age had
produced a divine of equal Judgment or genius."

•• It !• remarliable how eom|iletely Oolllni baa anticipated Dr.
Jonathan Kdwarda, tlie meet eelehrmted, and indlapatably tlie
ablert, rhampinn of the •ebeme of NeeeMlty wbo liM dnee ap-
peared." ;
The reader will hardly expect as to rolantarily eognlf '
oanelves in this whirlpool of metaphysics, wherein the
wits of many great, many wise, many valiant men have
been so completely wrecked. Barov de Qrimm, indeed,
eat the Gordian knot without ceremony, bat we doabt if
bis noble auditor, the Dnke of 8aze Gotha, received much ;
either of instmction or edification from the baron's decla-
mation; and certain we are that it woald reqaire more
than Diderot's letter to reconcile as to Diderot's philosophy.

Sir James Mackintosh, who whilst at college had de- ,
bated with his friend Robert Hall "almost every import-
ant position in Edwards on the Will," thus speaks of him |
in later years : i

*'Thls remarkable man, the metaphyelelan of America, waa
Ibnned among the Galvlnlste of New England, when their stem
doctrine retained Ite vlgeroos aathorlty. His power of rabtUe ,
argument, perhaps vnmatehed, certainly nnrarpaased among
men, waa Joined, as in some of the aodent Mystics, with a charao-
ter which rmiaed hts piety to ferronr. He embraced their doctrine,
probably without knowing It to be theirs. 'True religion,* says
ne, * in a great measure. consiitB In holy afleettons.' ... His ethical I
theory la contained in his Dutaiation on Out iVoterc of Tmt Ftr<
tae; and in another. On Oatt cAv/ Xnd nl l*e Ortatum. ... As i
flur as Edwards conflnes himself to created beings, and while Us
theory Is perfectly Intelligible, It coincides with that of antrersal
benevolence, hereafter to be oonstdered." See 2d Prelim. Dissert,
to Encyc Brit. |

The other yoang philosopher — the college friend of Bir
James, who rose to as great distinotion in another sphere — :
that most eloquent orator, Robert Hall, always retained
his reverence for Edwards. His acquaintance with his
writings eommenoed at even an earlier period than those >
happy days when the two friends debated so keenly, yet i
•mioably, amidst the pietoreaqoe loenery of the banks of
tho Don. Dr. Gregory assures us that when Robert Hall
was a* yet a mere child, " The works of Jonathan Edwards
were among his favourites ; and it is an ascertained fact,
that before he was nine years of age, he had perused and
npemsed, with intense interest, the treatises of that pro-
found and extraordinary thinker on the 'Affections' and
on the 'VUL' His regard never diminished; he for full
■ixty yean read JonaSutn Edwards's writings with nndi-
minished pleasure."

It is hardly necessary perhaps to obserra that in quoting
these testimonies to the intellectual greatness of Edwards, ',
the theological system of which he was so able an exposi- |
tor is notat all intended to be brought under consideration. I
"The Treatise on tlie Will is to a tme phlloeophy of hnman na- ,
tore as the demonstrations of Ledbnita are to modem mechanical
sdenee."— Isaac Tatub. I

"To theologtcal stndente bis works are almost Indiqiensable. '
In all the branches of theology, didaetle, polemical, casuistic, ex-
pavlmental, and practical, he had ftw equals, and perfaaps no supe. I
lior. The number and variety of his works show the IntenseneBs
of his Indnstrr and the uncommon strength of hia intellectnal
powers. The Inquiry Into the Will is a masterly work, which, as
a spedmen of exact analysis, of profbnnd or perfect abstraction,
of condnrfve logle, and &t calm discussion, will long support Its
high reputation, and wUl continue to be used ss a classic material
In the business of intellectual education." — Loumdt^t BriL Lib,
Of this work the London Quarterly Review remarks :
" It is commonly referred to by modem OalTioista as eontalning I
both their sentiments and the confirmation of them. In It the
metaphysical reasonings In ftvour of the predeetination tenata,
produoed in such abundance during the eentury succeeding tho
Belbraiatlon, have been digested and brought within reasoDabla
compass."

The Introductory Essay by Isaac Taylor to the edition
pab. in London, 1831, has been highly oemmended: "It
established the author's claims to rank among the moat
accomplished metaphysical writers of the present day.
His main object is to analyse and separate, as by a chemi-
ail test, the different elements of Edwards's arguments,
and to plaoe in its true light, or to refer to ite proper de-
partment of science, the Inquiry conoeming human agency,
firee will, liberty, and neoessify."

"The Inquiry Into the WQl is a most proftrand and acute disqu}.
rfttOD. The ■ngltsb Calvbilata have produced nothing to be put
in competition with It. . . . That extraordinary man, who In a
nstephyalcal age or countiT would certainly hare bean deemed
as much the boast of America as "

From this last-named writer, a very eminent aothority,
we quote some further oommente on our great author :

"Jonathan Edwards, as a phllosopber, as well as a divine^ had
fcw equals, and no superior, among biacontamnorarles. His works
will live as long aa powerful reaaonlng, genuine religion, and the
science of the human mind, oontlnne to be obfecte at respect. . . .
The Tree Ilea on Bellglona AlliMtlons diseovers his piolbnnd se-
qualntanee with the miture of genuine religion, and with alt the
deceitful workings of the hnman heart. The Inquiry Into the Free-
dom of the Human Will displays the talent of the author as a
metephyslclau, and hIa accurate knowledge of the Armlnten and
Calvlnlstic eoutruversy. His Defence of the Christian Doctrine of
Original Sin, designed partly aa aa answsr to a work on that sob-
ject by Dr. John ^ylor at Norwich, discovers the same high qnatl-
tles which belong to his former works, with a greater portion at
excellent critical Interpretetion of the gcripture. His style. It is
to be regretted, repels many from the examination of his writings;
but a little peiiMvermnoe and attontloo will render It femiliar to a
diligent student, and the elteet of his close and convincing reaaon-
lng will prove eminently benefldal to the understaBdla^" — Bi-
UtaOuea BtbUca.

" A prufbnnd searcher Into the genuine sonrDca of truth, well
versed In the Holy Scriptures, a close and minute reasoner, a
strenoous defender of hoUnees and the righte of Ood; plain uad

SBrsplcnouH In his method, unadorned but proUx In bte IsagnaBa
n the whole, a nioet excellent witter, both practical and contro-
versial."— Dr. WtmanWE Christian Pna^r,

Dr. Jamieson refers to the respect accorded to Edwards's
powerful work by both parties of theologians :

" As a theological writer, he occupies the Ibrvmast rank amongst
metephysleal divlace. His work on the Freedom of the Will, is
universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest elTorts of ho.
man intellect: and while he Is regarded by the Oslvtnlste as the
greatest champion of the philoeo|Alcal necessity on which thcAr
system Is built, tbe Armlnlans also look to him as an authority,
whoao principles and reasoolng they are forced to treat with ruspoct.
The other worksof Mr. Edwards— On Original Slu, On the AtTectlons,
Tlw History of Rsdsmption— bear the ssme stamp of high Intd-
lectual power, and all enjej an extaasive rspniation."

For a comparison between Bishop Bntler and Jonathan
Edwards, see Bdtler, Josiph, in this volume. A highly-
respected authority thus advises :

" Coming on to modem theological writers, I recommend you to
flunillarise yourselves with tbe works of the acuta, tbe phlloaopld.
cal, the pnMbond. the plons Jonathan Edwards, and those of An-
drew Fuller. 1 know nothing like the latter tw a beautiful oom-

are pleased to announce that this gentleman, the troaiae of
Edwards's HSS., is now (1818) engaged upon a new ad. of
the works of his distinguished ancestor, to b» issued in Edin-
burgh and the United States simultaneously. We venture
to express the hope that the editor will not hesitate to make
this edition as complata as the iitstMss prospacte of the un-
dertaking will at all jiutify. Few of the admirers of Pre-
sident Edwards hare any conception of the vast store of
his writings by which the worid has never yet had an oppoiw
tunity to be profited. Dr. Tryon Edwards tails us,

" These manuacripts are vary nnmerana. The seventeenth eaa-
tuiT was an sge of voluminous authorship. The works of Bishop
Hall amount to ten volumes octavo; LIgfatlbot's, to thirteen; Jere-
my Tsy lor's, to fifteen ; Dr. Goodwin's, to twenty ; Owen's, to twenty-
eight; while Baxter's would extend to some sixty volnmea, or

nous than the works <^ any of tbeae writers. If possibly the last

Edwards, Thomas, ie99?-1757, a critic of consl<
derable ability, was a member of Lincoln's Inn, and called
to the bar, but never practised. He was devoted to tba
study of Sbakspoare, and was so indignant at the pompous
ignorance and arrogance displayed by Warburton in his
edition of the immortal bard,' that be indited an epistle
to him, entitled A Letter to the author of a late Epistolary
Dedication, addressed to Mr. Warburton. This was fol-
lowed in 1747 by a Supplement to Mr. Warburton's edition
of Sbakspoare. It pleased the public ; and in 1748 a 3d edit,
was pub. under the title of The Canons of Critieism, and a
Olossory, being a Supplement to Mr. Warburton's edition
of Bhakspeare ; ooUected from the notes in that celebrated
work, and proper to be bound up with it Again pub.,
1750, Svo. Best (7th) edit, 1765, Svo, which oontoins the
Trial of the Lettor T aUat Y in order to settle the ortho-
graphy of our Language, and Sonnets. Also, Remarks on
Shakspeare by Mr. Roderick.

The Canons of Criticism was a ikir hit at Warburton ;
for he remarked in his preface, that he had once designed
^ving the reader a body of canons for literary oriticism,
and a glossary, but that he had not curried out this idea,
as these uses might be well supplied by what he had oooa-
sionally remarked in hia notes on Shakspeare.

Edwards thought this too good a chance to lie lost He
therefore drew up a set of the most absurd pretended oa-
none from Warburton's notes, and gave instanoea in sup-
port of them from the same authority. This enraged th*
amiable prelate not a little, and in his notes to the Daneiad
he takes adrantoge of Pope's two lines —

" Her children first of more dlstlngulslwd sort,
Who study Sbakspaara at the Inns of courts—

to add a comment most abusive of the satirist But Ed-
wards bad altogether the best of the battle. Warton »•

** These works contain a defence and fllustratlott of Bishop Hare's
principles of Hebrew metre, which hsTe had few advocates since tha
pnUlatton of Lowth's Loctores on the Hebrew Poetry, and Itla
Isaiah. The translation of the Psalms affords occasional asslatance
ftr understanding them, and contains Tarious emendations of ttie
Hebrew text, suggested by the metre. The latin Prolegomena,
which defend Hare and attack Lowtb, are sometimes Ingenious,
but seldom satis&ctory. Dr. Edwards was erldently a man of
learning and talents.'i-Orme'i BiU. Bib.

Mr, Headly would not have esteemed this volume of bar
nu^eaty's poetry much of a treasure :

" Aa dead qaaana rank but with meaner mortals, w« may aasert,

The Age of Elisabeth ia certainly tbe most brilliant in
the literary annals of England, nor ia it likely that its
splendottr will ever be surpassed. The remarks of Mr.
Hazlitt in this eennectioa deserve to be often qnoted, and
should never be forgotten by the Christian and man of
letters. Referring to tbe intellsetnal aetiviQr of this age,
especially the many mighty names which adorn the dra-
matic literature of tbe times, he remarks :

"Tor such an extraordinary ccablnatton and development of
ftney and nnina many cauaes may be assigned, and we seek for
tbe chief of tbem In religion, in politics. In the circumstances of

Elliott, Ebenezer, 1781-1849, known by the tiUe of
" The Corn-Law Rhymer," was a native of Masborough,
near Rotherham, Yorkshire. His father was a clerk in Uie
Iron-works, at a salary of £70 per annum, with which a
family of eight children were to be supported. Obliged to
commence hard labour at an oarly age in the foundry, tJiers
seemed to be little prospect of that literary reputation which
the indus^ous operative was destined to achieve. A taste
for raading, however, triumphed over all obstacles, and a
warm admiration of poetry, especially the rural pictures
of Thomson, soon resulted in an attempt at imitation, which
was sufficiently successful to ezoite the astonishment of
several literary gentlemen, who determined that such
powers should not be allowed to lie dormant His first
publication was the Vernal Walk, written in his 17th year.
He next gave to the world " Night" a portion of which is
repub. in his works under the title of the Legend of Wbam-
eliffe. This was severely handled by the Monthly Review
and the Monthly Magazine ; but Elliott was not easily dis-
conraged, and again ventured before the public in a volume
of Poems, which was also unsuooeasful. But Southey con-
soled the author:

■* There ia power In the least of these talaa, but the higher yon
pitch your tone the better you succeed. Thirty yearn ago they
would have nods your rrpufu/ioii; ttairfyysanAanes the world will
wonder that they did nU do so."

To this volume succeeded the Poem of Love, pre&eed
by a savage attack upon Byron's Giaour; to which his
lordship deigned no reply.

Deserting the tender themes which l>ad heretofore in-
spired his muse, Elliott now appeared in the character of
the Corn-Law Rhymer. The " Corn- Law Rhymes" — urg-
ing the repeal of the duties and free trade in bread-stul!a —

gave to the worid " The Village Patriarch," and in 1831
contributed to the New Monthly Magazine a Spenserian
poem entitled "Byron and Napoleon, or they met in Hea-

People" had now gained sufficient reputation to justify his
favouring the public with a collective edit of his poems.
They appeared in three vols., Lon., 12mo, 1833, '34, '36 ;
and in 1840 an edit was issued in one toL r. Svo. For
further particulars respecting Elliott, see a sketch of his
life (chiefly taken from a memoir in the Sheffield and Ro-

An article on Elliott will be found in Chambers's Papers
for the People, and an antoblographical Memoir in the
London Athenssnm for Jan. I860. By hii attention to the
iron business, in which he was engaged, he was enabled to
gain a respectable competence. We give extracts flrom the

With the many well-deserved encomiums before OJ upon
Mrs. Ellis's instructive volumes, we cannot but regret that
we can find room for only a few.

Notice of The Wives of England ;

"U Is a coulbrt to think that In all things we are not retrognd-
ing. The talents which made Hannah More and Madame D'Arblay
the idols of the iiUinry world la their geDermtion, -would now se-
eore them but a sleoder share of homage. The cultlTatlon of the
ftmale mind has certainly advanced ; and we greatly doubt if any
wonuin of the last century cov2d have written The Wives of Kng.
land." — BrtHA Haffaziiu.

Notice of The Danghtera of England :

** An admirable work, ftlll of tmtbflil eloquence, that does Mrs.
SlUa Infinite honour, and will be productive of great eventual
good. Education, taste, beauty, &shion. and the alfeotionB, form
ttlemes on wUoh Mrs. Ellis eiUarges with gnat eamestnesa.** —
OmrtJoumaL

Notioes of The Women of England :

" We know no volume better calculated to exerdss a powerful,
lasting, and Iwneficlal Inflnenoe. If we could have our own way,
«very fcmily should ordera copy of The Women of Kngland. ifu**

MeOiatitt Mag.

" At a time when women are becoming anxlons to shine In other

Sberee tlian that humble but holiest of all — borne, to inculcate
e truth tliat tlie panunoont and peculiar duties of woman con-
list la ministering to the wants, comlbrts, and happiness of her
ftUow.ereatttres, especially those of her own flunlly circle, is a saln-
tuj task ; this Mrs. Ellis has accompllslied in a way to bring oonr
Tletlon to the minds of mothers and danghtera — the teachers and
the taught." — Lan. SpKUittr.

Notices of The Mothers of England :

**Tbis Is an appropriatfl and very valuable oonclosion to the
■sries of works on the sultjert of female duties by which Mrs. Ellis
bu pleased, and we doubt not profited, ttaoneands of readers. Her
counsels command attention, not only by their practical sagacious
nseftilness, but also by the meek and modest spirit In whiui they
nrs eommunleatiid.

Hotiee of Pretension,- series 8d of Pietnrei of Private
Life:

"The aim of the writer Is evidently to instruct ss well as amnss,
\iy olbrlng these admirable sketebes as beacons to warn the young,
especially of her own sex, againat the errors whleb haveshlpwreeksd
the happiness of so many." — Ion. QatOenuaCt Magaetm.

Notice of Look to the End :

"In the present work her lessons are more descriptlTe and Vft.
tlons, and consequently it posaesses more elements tbr popularity

tilan its predecessors, popular as they have been and are." — Urn,
Ijtterary OaxeUe^

What higher praise could any author eoret than the fol-
lowing commendations ttom eminent authorities?

"We can eonsdentiouitly aver, that no works within onr know*
ledge are equally calculated to Interest by their cheerfol, pleasant
composition, and to ioitruct by their ngadous, honest counRels,
tllofle fnrwhom they are designed. To 'write no line which dying
one would wish to blot.* when addressing one's self to subjects so
ftlll of all that Is deltalts In human motives and all that Is power-
ftll In human infioenoe. Is a display of honesty and couinge, aa
well *i wisdom and moraliU, which should be appreciated and
bonoured : this Is what Mrs. Ellis has done."— I«n. &Uelic Reviett.

" Mrs. Ellis has always one end In view— the moral improvement
and edification of her Mlow'«reatores; more particularly of hsr
own sex."— £<!•>. literary Ottedte.

the pronunciation, Ac. He hod already given some speci-
mens of his "improvements," but in a (9) trans, of Mar-
tial, 1782, 4to, ho carried the system out to a greater extent:

" Elphinston's Martial Is just come to hand. It Is truly an aninue.
The specimens formerly published did very well to lau:;h at; but
a whole quarto of nonsense and gibberish is too much. It Is
sttange that a man not wholly illiterate should have lived bo long
to England, without learning the language." — Dr. BeaOit to Sir
Wm. Ptrrba.

Emerson, George Rarrett, teacher and naturalist,
was bom in 1797, at Kennebunk, then Wells, in York eo.,
Maine, graduated at Harvard Coll. in 1817, A.A.S. For
several years he was President of the Boston Soc'y of Nat.
History, and Chairman of the Commissioners for the Zoo-
logical and Botanical SnWey of Massachnsetts. Mr. Emer-
son has been a teaoher in colleges, academiea, and schools
for more than forty years, thirty-foor ot which wen spent
in Boston. He wrote the second part of " The School and
the Schoolmaster," of which Bp. Potter wrote the first part,

Emerson has contributed very extensively to the agricul-
tural journals of the U.S. His medical writings consist
chiefly of extensive contributions upon the subject of vital
HatUtic; including the mortality, births, and changes in
the population of Philadelphia from 1808 to '32 ; show-
ing, among other things, the excessive mortality of males
during childhood, and its causes. Effects of Depressing

Emerson, Ralph Waldo, the son of a Unitarian
minister of Boston, graduated at Harvard College in 1821,
being then about 18 years of age. After some attention
to theological studies, he was ordained minister of the
Seoond Unitarian Church of Boston ; but this connexion
was soon sundered, in eonseqneneo of some peculiarity in
the views of the preacher. He now retired to Concord,
and soon liecame absorbed in those investigations in men-
tal and moral philosophy of which the results have been
from time to time communicated to the world.

An oration entitled Man Thinking, delivered before th«
Phi Beta Kappa in 1837, and an address to the senior class
of the Divinity College, Camhridga, in 1838, attnwted con-
siderable attention ; which no doubt encouraged Mr. Em-
erson to address the public through the medium of the
press. In 1838 he pub. Literary Ethics, an Oration, which
was followed in th« next year by Nature, an Essay. la

be left to learned inquirers in the same field to decide:

■■ This eminent and valuable work baa received tbe general suF
frage of tbe learned, as being tbe moat comprelienBlTe, methodical,
and impartial history of theology hitherto written. It is both a
hiatory of doetrinea and of men. Aa a history of doctrines, It lays
open the origin of oplnlona, the nbangee tliey have undergone, the
dlatinct cliamctell of different systems, and the leading polnta in
wliich they differ; aa a history of men, it relates the lives of tbe
moat eminent phlloaophera, takee notice of their fbllowers and op-
ponanta, and deseribea tbe origin, progress, and decline of their
reapective sects; and throws mucfa light on the ancient religions
Cf India, Pania, and on every other btaDch of liaatara lltorature."

" An indispensable work. I can truly aay, that the benefit which
I have derived from It la mocb greater than it would be poeslble
to ezprees by any quotation or acknowledgments, however nume-
itnis." — AirioK's BampUm Lectttra.

Enfield performed hie task in a moat creditable manner:

"It may be truly said, that the teneta of philoaopby and the
Uvea of ita profiBaaors were never befbre diaplayed in ao pleasing a
Ibnn, and with such clearness and excellence of language."

ined, 1813, 12mo. This was answered by Edward Everett,
of Massachusetts, in 1814, and also by Samuel Cary in 1813.

publication. 2. Letter to Mr. Cnry on hie Review of the

Edward Everett's tnianswerable response to English's
Grounds of Christianity Examined.

Mr. Everett convicts English of the most flagrant dis-
honesty in his assertions, and bare-faced plagiarism, to a
degree almost unprecedented. This reckless blasphemer
of "a doctrine which once he preached," transfers by
wholesale to his malignant pages the sophistries and quib-
bles, the absurdities and the blunders, of Evanson, Collins,
Xoland, and other such worthies, and appropriates without
scrapie the reflections of Semler, Priestley, Rabbi Isaac,
and Orobio. Mr. Everett shows that thus ninety-four
pages are borrowed from other writers, of which numlwr
Mr. English gives credit to the owners for twenty-four
pages only. The work of Mr. Everett would do honour to
any critic, however far advanced in years or experienced
in polemics; but as the composition of a mere youth, it is
one of the most remarkable productions of the human
mind. The following extracts are commended to the class
of writers especially concerned ;

Erigena, Johannes Scotas, a celebrated philoso-
pher, a native of Ireland, long resident at the court of
Charles the Bald, King of France, is supposed to have died
about 877, bnt of this date, as of the incidents of his life,
there appears to be much doubt The curious reader can
refer to the authorities cited below. Of his writings a cata-
logue will be found in Cave and others. Bale has added
to the number, bnt it is thought without sufficient evidence.
The following have been printed : 1. De Divisions Naturte,

by Erigena is lost, and that the published one is not th«
genuine tract It is certain that Erigena denied the doc-
trine of transnbstantiation. It was intended as an answer
to Fasobasius Radbertos. Erigena's treatise was con-
demned to lie burned at Rome in 1059. It was on this
account that his name was stricken fVom the roll of minta

supposed that uiis led to Erigena's withdrawal tmm France,

**Tlie only Kngllsb writer of the beginning ofthe ninth eentnty ,
vhom we oen tnee with iiny degree at certainty. Is an Anglo*
lAtln poet named Etbelwolf^ of whom we have no farther Infonne-
tSoo than that which la contained lu the only one of his poems
now extant. . . . This poem la Taluable chiefly aa a document of
hlatorj: bnt, though It baa little merit. It Is tnteresting aa the
only specfanen we have of the Anglo.Latln poetl^ of that period."

Etkerege, Sir George, bom abont 1636, supposed
to have died about 1690, is said to hare studied for some
time at the Unirersity of Cambridge. Whilst yet yonng
lie travelled on the continent, and on his return devoted
some time to legal pursuits. But, like Tom D'Urfey, whom
in many points he greatly resembled, he soon forsook the
Law for U>e Drama. In 1664 he produced his comedy of
The Comical Revenge ; or. Love in a Tub, 1664, '68, '68,
'71, '88, '90, '83, 4to. This piece was sacoessful, and intro-
duced him into the society of a set of dissolute idlers who
then disgraced English sooiety — the Earl of Dorset, the
Dnke of Buckingham, Lord Rochester, Sir Charles Sedley,
Ac He next brought out the comedy of She Would if
Bhe Could, 1668, '71, '89, '90, '93, 4to. This was succeeded
by hia best- known piece, the comedy of The Man of Mode;
or. Sir Fopling Flutter, 1676, 4to; 1714, 8vo.

"It is perhaps the most elegant comedy, and contains more of
Oe nal manners of high lUb than any one the English stage was
ever adorned with." — Biag. DntmaL

" air Oeoige Etherage was aa thorough a Ibp as ever I saw; be
was exactly his own Sir Fopling Flutter. And yet he designed
Serimant, the genteel take of wit, (hr his own picture."— It. See
Bpeoee's Anecdotes.

In 1722, Sro, appeared a Defence of the Comedy of Sir
Topling Flutter. He pub. a short prose piece entitled An
Aooount of the Rejoycing at the Diet of Ratisbonne, per-
formed by Sir Oeorge Etherege, Knight, Ac, Savoy, 1688.
Vorlts, containing bis Plays and Poems, Lou., 1704, 8vo.
Sir Oeorge was resident minister at Ratisbon, and it is said
that after a gay evening party given by him. in that city,
he fell down stairs and broke his neck while taking leave
of hie guests. Gibbon, indeed, asserts that he returned to
England after the Revolution, and died there. The b«-
eonnts also.differ as regards the manner in which he came
to Iw knighted; but these are matters of small moment
He seems to have been equally devoid of prinoiple and
careless of propriety, without any just sense of religion or
morality, and one of those abandoned writers who, by
poblie proclamation of their licentiousness and indecency,
mn be truly said to " glory in their shame."

Bren the Biog. Dramat. — by no means a rigid oritie —
acknowledges that

**UU works have not escaped censure, on acconnt of that Iken-
thnwneea which in the general runs through them, which renders
llMeii dangerous to young, ongnarded minds; and the more so for
the lively aod genuine wit wiSi which It is glided over, and which
tmm tlierefbrs Justly banished them from tbe purity ofthe present
atMD."— roL i, Fiirl 1, 2S3.

Eusden, Rector of Spotsworth, Yorkshire, after receiving
his edueatian at Trin. Coll., Comb., went into orders, and
was for some time chaplain to Richard, Lord Willoughby
de Broke. He found wnrm friends in Lord Hiiliraz, whose
poem On the Buttle of the Boyne he trans, into Latin, and
in the Duke of Newcastle, whose marriage to Lady Oodol-
phin he celebrated in an Epithalamiuro, which raised the
author to the lanreatesbip in 1718. He pub. a number of
occasional poems, contributed a few pieces to the Spectator
and Guardian, and left in MS. a trans, of tbe works of
Tasso, with a life of the poet. Some specimens of his
poeUcal abilities will be found In Nichols's Poems. Of
course he did not wear the honours of the laurel without
eliciting the enmity of his brother poets. Pope put him
in the Dunciad, Oldmizon attacked him in bis Art of Logio
and Rhetoric, and Cooke thus refers to him in The Battle
of the Poets :

"Ensden, a laurel'd bard, by fortune rals'd,
By few been read, by fewer still been prais'd."

We are sorry to learn, from a letter of Oray's to Mason,
that Kosden injured bis mind by the great enemy of poets
— the " generous bottle." Tbe Duke of Buckingham, in
bis Session of the Poets, implies that the fame of the poet-
laureate was rather circumscribed ;

"In rushed Eusden, and cried, 'Who shall have It
But I, the true lauraat, to whom the king gave Itf
Apollo begg'd pardon, and granted his claim.
But vow'd that till ttlen he ne'er had heard his name."

Evelyn, 8ii John. Report from tbe Committee reL

Evelyn, John, 1620-1705-6, was a son of Richard
Evelyn, of Wotton, in tbe county of Surrey, where John
was born on the 31st of October. After preparatory studies
•t Lewes and Soutbover, be was placed in 1837 as a fellow
oommoner at Balliol Coll., Oxf. He entered college, as be
tells us with much modesty,

" Rather out of shame of abiding lonfrer at sehod than any fit-
ness, as by sad experience I fbnnd, whirh put mo to relearn all
that I had neglected, or but perfunctorily gained."

On leaving college he removed to tbe Middle Temple,
and bad Iwen there but a short time when he lost his father.
Anxioiu to we something of foreign countries, be deter-
mined to visit the continent, whence he returned after an
absence of three months. In 1643 he again left home, and
for a number of years resided in France, and other parts
of Europe, occasionally making a short visit to England.
In January, 1651, '52 be settled permanently in the latter
eountry, residing at Say's Court, near Deptford, formerly
the seat of his father-in-law. Sir Richard Browne, British
tasident at the court of France.

At the time of bis marriage to Miss Browne, in 1647, at
Paris, she had not attained her I4th year, and seems to have
heen a grateful and docile pupil in the course of education
prescribed by the groom, now in bis 27tb year, and one of
tbe most acoomplished men of bis day. She survived him
nbont three years, and thus commemorates his devotion :

" His care of my education wss such as might tieoome a ftttaor,
a lover, a fHend, and husband, for instruction, tendemen. affiM-
tlon, and fidelity, to the last moment of bis life, which oblijcatlon
1 mention with a gratitude to biR memory erer dear to me; and I
must not colt to own tlie sense I have of my parents' cars and
foodoess In placing me in such worthy hands."

Indeed, tbe character of this excellent man, placed as
he was amidst the cormpting influence of a most unprin-
oipled court, affords a delightful subject of contemplation
for all who venerate moral worth, in this ease rendered
more conspicuous by intellectual eminence. Even with
tbe dissolute Charles and the contemptible crowd of cour-
tiers who ministered to his vices, the learned, religious,
•ad accomplished Evelyn was an object of affection as well
asreapeet They could notbntadmireandlovean example
which they were content not to imitate. In the Biog. BriL,

and was tbe first book pnb. by, the Royal Society. It waa
elicited by certain

"Queries propounded to tliat illustrious assembly, the hoDonr-
able the principal Officers and Gommissionera of the Navy."

Apprehensions were entertained that the onltivatioa of
large trees was so much neglected, that in a short time it
would be difficult or impossible to procure sufficient timlter
for the purposes of the Navy. Evelyn made an earnest
appeal to the nation to treat this important subject with
due regard. His work was eminently sneoessfuL In tbe
new d^ication to Charles II., 2d ed., 1669 — 5 years after
the publication of the 1st ed Evelyn tells the king

"It has beeu the sole oecaslon fx furnishing your almost ex-
hausted dominions with more, I dars say, than two millions of
timber-trees, besides infinite others, whfeh have been propagated
within tlie three nations, at the Instigatlan and bj the dlrsetlca
of this work," tc.

The famous Dr. Wotton deolares

** It nsay therefore, perhaps, be esteemed a small character of Mr.
Evelyn's discourse of Ibrest-trees to say, that It out-does all that
Theophrastus and Pliny have left us on that subject; ibr It not
only does that and a great deal more, but contains more useful
precepts, hints, and discoveries, upon that now so necssmy a part
of our Ra Buttiea, than the world had till then known, Ibr all
the observations of fi}mier sges. To name others after him would
be a derogation to his performance." — Jt^fitctumt en AmciaU and

**The 'Sylva' has nobeentSesof style to recommend It, and none
of those felicities of expression by which the writer stamps upon
your memory his meaning in sll Its fbrce. Without such chanao,
* Discourse <H Vorest Trees, and the Propagation of Timber in his

Interred at Wotton, where his tombstone, by his direction
— anxious to continue hla usefulness oven when no longer

seription :

be had learned Axku thance this truth, which be defsirod might be i

This is "the conclusion of the whole matter," and we
■ball be wise, indeed, thoughtful reader, if we profit by the
lesson.

In 1825 Hr. Wm. TJpcott, the well-known bibliographer,
pub. in a 4to vol. a collection of Evelyn's Miscellaneous
Writings — on Morals, Horticulture, Art, Science, Com-
merce, Ac. — many of which had become very rare.

** All them tempting topics we are compelled to fly ftom, with
many a lingering look, conscious that we have occupied a largo,
though by no means an undue space, in affording our readers some
gusto of a volume upon which tney may Tenture to make many a
bearty meal." — Britith Critic

In 1818, 2 vols. 4to, appeared Memoirs illustrative of the
Life and WriUngs of John Evelyn, Esq., comprising his

It has been trulv remarked that

** It is Impoaaiblie to orerrmte the Interest and value of a dlarr
and correepondence written by sneh a man as Evelyn, and In sueh

** Tbts work is a neeasiwT companion to the popular histories of

To this work the reader must add The Diary and Cor-

himself upon tht possession of treasures of no ordinary
eharaeter.

In 1848, sm. Svo, was pub. by Bishop Wilberforce of Ox-
ford, from the MS. of Evelyn, his Life of Mrs. Oodolpbln.
Kow first pub.

** An exquisite book is this Ibr the refined and edncated reader.
How could it be otherwise, slnoe the admirmbla Evelyn has seen
fit to present It to the world? This Uttle book cannot but be at-
tended with many blmslngs on account of the purity of Its tone

In 1850, 2 vols. p. Svo, Rev. R. M. Evanaon pub. frott
the MS. of Evelyn bis Kational Account of the True &••
ligion. Now first pub.

" As an epitome of all the later ai^nmanta against the infidel!^
of the seventeenth and eighteenth oenturies, the Histoiy of Bw-
glon Is Indeed Invaloable."

Of this truly ezceUent man we may say, with a disttn-
gniahed critic:

" No change of ikshion, no alteration of taste, no revolutions of
science, have Impaired or can impair his celebrity. Satire, fkvm
whom nothing U sacred, scarctily attempted to touch him while
living; and the acrimony of political and religious hatred, though
H spares not even the dead, has never assailed his memory/^
RouERT Sootriet: Lqh. Quar. Seviewj xix. &3.

During the evil days when unhallowed violence ovar-
threw the throne and the altar, Evelyn was a sinceM
monmer, and ministered to the necessities of those who
from a state of comparative opulence suddenly found them-
selves reduced to straitnoss of bread and the melancholy
prospect of continued destitution. When that intrepid
champion of the truth, "of whom the world was not wor-
thy"---Jeremy Taylor — was consigned to the cheerless
walls of a prison, it was John Evelyn who not only ex-
tended present relief, but settled upon him an annual al-
lowance, that he might not be careful for the morrow.
From a letter of Evelyn's to this attached friend, written
in these troublous times, we give an extract which reflect!
honour both upon the writer and the one addressed :

" For my part^ I have learned fWmi your excellent assistanee to
humble myselfe, and to adore the inscrutable patbes of the most
high: Qod and bis Truth are still the same* though the founda-
tions of the world be shaken. Redlvlvns can shut the Schooles
Indeede, and the Temples ; but be cannot hinder our private lnt«i^
courses and devotions, where the Breast is the Chappell and onr
Heart is the Altar. Obadlenoe founded In the understanding wUl
be the only core and retmlte. Ood wUl accept wlut lemalnes and
supply what Is naoHsarr.'*

Even the gossiping, worldly-minded, curiosity-bnntuig
Horace Walpole is betrayed with a generous, but very un-
fashionable, enthusiasm, when expatiating upon the cha-
racter of Evelyn :

" His lift, which was extended to elghty-sIx years, was a oourss
of enquiry, study, curiosity, instruction, and benevolence. The
works of the Creator, and the mhnic labours of the creature, were
all ot^acta of his pursuit. He unfolded the perfection of the one,
and assisted the imperfection of the other. He adored ftom ex>
amlnation; was a courtier that flattered only by Inlbrming "bta
prince, and by pointing out what was worthy f)r him to counts
nance; and was really ibe neighbour of the gospel, for there was
no man that m^bt not have been the batter mr him.** — CattUofftie
qf Sngractn.

A celebrated author, of a very different stamp, bears the
same testimony, when acknowledging some oommunioa-
Uon designed to aid an important literary undertaking:

" That most Ingenknu and virtuous gentlMnan, Mr. Evelyn, who
Is not satisfied to have advanced the knowledge of this age by Us
own naefUl and successftil labours about planting and divers othsr
ways, but is ready to contribute every thing In his power to perfoot
other met^s endeavonra" — Bisbop Bobhci: Sitt. ^ Ms B^^arma^

We shall conclude onr article with the tribute of one of
the most distinguished poets of his age :

" Happy art thou whom Qod does bless
yii\h the full choice of thine own happiness;

And happier yet, because thou'rt blest

With prudence bow to choose the beet.
In books and gardens thou hast pla^d aright,

(Things which thou wall doat understand,
And both dost make with thy laborious hand,)

Thy noble, innocent delight.
And In thy virtuous wife, where thou again dost meet

Both pleasurea more refln'd and sweet,

The fiilrest garden In her looks,

And In her mind the wisest books:
Oh, who would change these soft yet solid Joys

For empty shows and senseless noise

And all which rank ambition breeds,
\nileh seam sueh beauteous flowers, and are sndi poii^aoiis
weeds," Ac Oauit^'t Garden.

Everett, Alexander Hill, 1790-1847, a native of
Boaton, Massaebnsetts, was a son of the Rev. Oliver Eve-
rett, and a descendant of Richard Everett, whose name
appears in the public records of Dedbam, Massachusetts,
for the year 1630, Alexander was born in Boston on the
Ittfa of Maroh, 1790, and entered Harvard College in the
13th year of his age. In 1806 he graduated with the
highest honours ; and, after a year's experience as a teacher
in the Phillips Exeter Academy, oommenced the study of
law in the office of John Quincy Adams, in Boston. In
1809 he accompanied Mr. Adams on his mission to Russia,
and resided at Su Petersburg and London until 1812.
Retnming to the United SUtes on the declaration of war
qpkinit Great Britain, he commenced the profession of the
law at Boston, but was soon induced to accept the office
of secretary of legation to the Netherlands. On the re-
tirement of Mr. Enstis from that mission, in 1818, Mr.
Everett succeeded him as charg^ d'affaires, and retained
this post until 1824. In this year he returned to the United
Slates on leave of absence, and in the iipring of 1825 was
appointed by President Adams minister to Spain. In 1829
he returned to the United States, and became proprietor
and editor of the North American Review, (1830-35,) to
which he had, during the editorship of his brother Edward,
been one of the moat valuable contributors. From 1830 to
1835, Mr. Everett occupied a seat in the legislature of
Massachusetts, and during these years and a few following,
gave much of his time and thoughts to state and national
politics. In the winter of 1840 be resided as a confidential
agent of the U. S. Qovernment in the Island of Cuba, and
whilst there was appointed President of Jefferson College,
Louisiana. He entered upon the responsible duties of this
post in June, 1841, but was soon obliged, by failing health,
to return to New England.

Upon the return of Mr. Caleb Cushing from his mission
to China, Mr. Everett was appointed minister plenipo-
tentiary to that empire, and sailed for Canton July 4th,
1845. A severe attack of illness detained him for some
time at Rio Janeiro ; and, hopeless of amendment, he ra-
tnmed home ; but in the summer of 1846 be was sufieiently
recovered to allow of a seoond attempt to reach his deeti-
nation. Arrived at Canton, it soon became evident that
his physical powers were too much prostrated to allow of
any reasonable hope of restoration, and he oloaed hia eyes
In a strange land, June 28th, 1847. For the above facts,
and for the annexed lists of Mr. Everett's contributions to
various periodicals, Ac, we are indebted to Qriswold's
Prose Writers of America.

Mr. Everett's first published compositions appeared in
The Monthly Anthology, the vehicle of communication
with the pul^io of the Anthology Club of Boston, consist-
ing of George Tieknor, William Tudor, Srs. Bigelow and
fiwtlener, Alexander H. Everett, and Rev. Messrs. Buok-

mlnster, Tfaaeber, and Emerson. The Monthly Astko.
logy, established by Phineas Adams, was pnb, t^m INI
to 1811.

Mr. Everett devotes the first chapter of hia work to ai
explanation of the origin of the eontroveray betweea 6oi.
win and Malthua. In the following lines he IsysdovBt
position which opens at oaoe a wide field of del»te :

" It Is, In tkct, somewhat singular, that while tha <m».<i.>f
ohjert of Godwin was to demonstntto the aipedloncy of pntdcil
reRHm, and that of Mr. Malthns to prove Its InatUit;, ths tbeoilis
of both these writers admit, on general grounds, or predsehr the
same answer. While Godwin constders politlral InstJtatlMH u
sbsoloteljr mischlavona, Bislthns afflnns tnst tbej are eompletelf
Indifferent The true answer to both Is, that tbST are iifjther
mischlevons nor Indifferent, but extremely ralnsole; thit the
origin of evil Is not to hb (bund In tile existence of aocMj— sot Is
■nj supposed law of nature, vhleh ereates a Beeessltj of perfetaal
fcmlne — bnt In the primary eonstitntion of the unlTene."

In the eleventh chapter the political eeonomist will 8sd
the author's explanation of the manner in which the stats
of civilisation sheets the rate of wages, and of the fact that
the individual produoer is not always remnnerated in pro-
portion to the increaaad wealth of the oommanity.

He attacks the theory of Malthus as totally uBteaaUs,
and laboars to prove tiut the inereaae of popnlatioa is il
truth a principle not of soareity, bnt of ahnndanes. A ie>
view of this work by an eminent critic — Jared Spaikl,
LL.D. — will be found in the N. AmerieaD Review, xriL

College at the age of 13, and graduated with distinguished
eiedit in 1811. After two years of preparatory study in the
divinity sehool in Cambridge, he was at the early age of 19
chosen to ancceed the eloquent Bookminstor, by whose
death the pulpit of the Brattle Street Church bad been left
vaoant. As a pulpit orator Mr. Bverett soon etteined that
distinetion which he has invariably acquired in every de-
partment of life which he has snceessirely occupied. An
•ztmct from a letter of the late Judge Story will prove
inlsceating in this connexion. The writer refers to a cele-
bialad aermon of Mr. Everett, entitled " Brethren, the time
if abort," delivered in the capital at Washington, in Febru-
ary, 1820:

**The sannon waa tmlT splendid, and was haird iritb a bieatb-
ttm aHaDceL Tlis audloiioe was vny large: and, being In that
nagnlfleetit epartmeDt of the Home of RepmentatiTes. It had vast
adbet. I saw Mr. King, of New York, and Mr. Otis, of Muatctan-
aatta, t>aiai Tbey were both Tory much affected with Mr. ETerett's
saiUMJU ; aad Mr. Otis. In (lartlralar, wept bitterly. There were
aooa vaty toaefalng appeals to our mort delkato feelings, on tlie loss

aa tbo asoat aloqnent of preaelM»rB. Mr. King told me he never
beard a diaeenrse ao flill of unction, eloquence, and good taste.**

The fallowing tributes fVom the same distinguished au-
thority may perhaps be properly quoted in this place:

**1 thank you most alncertly fbr tlie high pleaaura and Inatrofr
tloD yon bare glTan me in this number of thefn. Amarican] Review,
I agree wltb yuu a« to Mr. Tudor's Iwok, aod you liavp almoat pei^

exalt tbe pride and character of our country.** — Ldttr to Biwtard

The reader will thank us for thus recording the testimony
of Judge Story to Mr. Everett's eminence as a preacher,
an essayist, and a political orator. We shall have occa-
sion, before closing this article, to quote still further from
the same distinguished authority. No man more highly
valued Mr. Everett's natural talents and ripe scholarship,
aad no man would have more heartily welcomed the great
intelleotuy monument which he so well knew these talents
and sebolarship were capable of erecting. But we antici-
pate. In 1812, at the early age of 18, he was appointed
Latin tutor in Harvard College.

In 1814 he pub. a volume of about 600 pages, entitled A
Defence of Christianity, in answer to The Grounds of
Christianity Examined, by George B. English. These
works we have already noticed at length. See English,
OaoRac B.

In 1816 he was elected professor of the Greek Language
aod Literature in Harvard College, with the understanding
that he should spend some time in Europe before engaging
in the ardnons duties of this post Whilst abroad he made
the acquaintanee of Scott, Byron, Jeffrey, Campbell, Mack-
intosh, Romilly, Davy, and other distingnished literaiy
and political character*.

In 1819 he returned home and entered npon the dntlai
of the Greek Professorship. In addition to his regular lec-
tures, he found time to publish a Greek Grammar, trans, by
him from the German of Buttman, and a Greek Reader,
based upon that of Mr. Jacobs. We extract a notice of
this portion of Mr. Everett's life, from Mr. Hay ward's arti-
cle on American Orators and Stetesmen, in the London
Quarterly Review for December, 1840:

** Bdward Kverett la one of the moat remarkable men Hving. He
la a native of Maasachuaetts, and waa bom about 1796. At nine*
teen he l»d already acquired the reputetlon of an accomptiahad
scholar, and waa drawing large audiences aa a Unitarian pieacher.
At twenty-one (the age at which Roger Ascham achteved a similar
diatloetlon) be was appointed l*roft*ffsor of Greek in Harvard Tnl.
varsity, and soon afterwards be made a tour of Snrope, indading
Greece. M. Cousin, who waa with him in Oermany, inlbnned a
fi-lend of onrs ttiat he was one of the best Qredana ha ever knew,
and tfaa tranalator of Plato must have Itnown a good many of the
best On his return from his travels be lectured on Greek litera-
ture wltb the enthusiaam and success of auother Abelard — we
bope, without the Haloiaa.*

Be liecame editor of the North American Review in
January, 1820, and in the next foar years contributed to
its pages about fifty papers, to which are to be added sixty
more, written whilst the Review waa under the manage-
ment of bis brother Alexander, and of those who succeeded
bim. Mr. Everett has given us reason to hope for the pnb-
lieaUon of a selection ttom these excellent papers, and
ftwm the speeches, raporto, and correspondence, prepared
from time to time in the discharge of his otBclal duties.
We trust, however, that the contributions to the Review
will be given without the least curtailment; and the rather
from the fact that the earlier numbers of this periodical are
not only now scarce, but not to be had — save on rare oc-
caaions — at any price whatever. On the 8th of May, 1822^
Mr. Everett waa married by his old classmate, the Rev. N.
L. Frothingbam, D.D., to Charlotte Gray, a daughter of
Peter Chardon Brooks, one of the leading men of Boston.
Mr. Brooks died January I, 1849, and hU biography ha*
been written by Mr. Everett.

In 1824 Mr. Bverett was elected to the United States Con-
gress by the voters of Middleaex, Massacbnsetts, and sat in
the House of Repreeentatives for ten years. Upon his re-
turn fk'om Congress in 1886, he waa for four sncccsiive year*
elected Governor of Massachusette, and at the next elec-
tion defeated by only one out of more than 100,000 votes.
In 1841 be was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of St James, and resided In London for about Ave
years. Not the least gratifying testimonial of respect
acootded to Mr. Everett in England, was the degree of
D.C.L., by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and
trom Dublin. On his return home, in 1846, he was elected
to the Presidency of Harvard College, and retained this ho-
noerable post until 1849, when be tendered his resignation,
and was succeeded by Jared Sparks. On the decease of
Daniel Webster, Mr. Everett was appointed Beoretary of
State of the United States, and in 1853 he succeeded
John Davis as a national Senator. In consequence of the
failure of his health, be soon resigned his seat, and ii

volume will contain a copious index to the three volumes,
making it a necessary companion to vols. L and iL Those
who would witness a remarkable illustration of the power
of eloquence to transfbsa life and beauty into the isacbings
of soienee, the lessons of history, the ethics of polities,
and vicissitudes of letters, will not neglect to devote "their
days and nights" to the Orations of Edward Everett.

We need hardly remind our readers that Mr. Everett has
substantial claims to the character of a poet The Diiga
of Alarie the Visigoth, and the beantifnl poem of Santa
Croce, are among &e few compositions which the remem-
brance of school-boy declamation can present, without fsar
of rebuke, to the matnrer Judgment of riper yean. Savanl
other poetical productions are among the evidanceaof tlieir
author's remarkable versatility of talent. A Notioe of the
Life and Works of the late Daniel Webster, by Mr. Eve-
rett, will be found in the collective edition of the worka of
the former, Boston, 1852, 6 vols. 8va. To the same dis-
tinguished pen belong the Life of General Stark, in Sparka'i
Library of Ameriean Biography, (1st series, i. 1,) and sew-
ral of the Annual Reports of tiie Hassaohnsetta Board of
Education. The merits of Mr. Everett's productions are
duly estimated, both at home and abroad, and we regret
that our limited space renders brevity of quotation firom
commendatory notices a matter of necessity.

The first otatioo which drew upon Mr. Everett the eyes
of his countrymen at large was delivered at Cambridge
before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, August 27, 1824. The
occasion was one well calculated to call forth ttie eloqnenea
of the young orator. He stood in the presence of mneh
of the genius and learning of the land : of thoee who had
written their names in their country's history, and whose
fame was not confined to the vast repnblie whioh eUiaed
them as her sons.

But the remembrance of the mighty dead vronld haw
proved a stronger spell than the presence of the living,
had it not been that the companion of the departed, the
brother-in-arms of the Father of his country, sat that day
an honoured guest of the chief estates of Uie land whieh
he had aided to redeem. When the youthful orator had
excited to an almost painful pitch the feelings of the vast
assemblage who hung upon his lips, — when they smiled
or wept^ sorrowed over the past or exulted in the present
at the will of the master who carried them as he listed,^
he suddenly tnmed to the illustrious guest who had seen
so much of the rise and fall of human greatness — who had
witnessed alike the destruction of a throne and the birth
of a nation — and addressed him in an apostrophe never to
be forgotten by auditor or reader:

** Welcome, frtend of our fiitben, to our •boras I Haniy are ear

A review of tiiia oration, and of one delivered at Ply-
month in Deoember of the same year, will be found in the
North American Review for April, 1825. To reeommeud
its ponual to the reader, nothing more need be said than
to give the name of its author--Jared Sparks, Mr. Eve-
nit's ancceuor in the presidency of Harvard College. We
quote a few lines from the oonolusion :

**ProfiMSor EveretVs recapltnlatcvy remarka and clo^ng reflao-
tions are uttered In a stylo of uncommon brlUtaocy and richness;
tbay inculcate lofty and aulmatlog sentlmeDta, and constitute
altogether a rare spedmen of eloquence and fine writing.''

Perhaps one of the best reviews of Mr. Everett's Ora-
tions is that by Prof. K. Labonlaye, of the College of
Viance, in the Journal des D6bats, Oct. 6, 1853. We re-
gret that we ean find room for a brief extract only :

**!! eat enrlanx do suiTre la vie publli]ue d'un tel bomme, et

An eloquent review of Mr. Everett's orations, by Pro-
fessor Felton, will be found In the N. American Review
for October, 1850, and an admirable analysis of his mental
oharacteristios and oratorical style, by a distinguished
eritic, himself an orator of renown, occurs in the same
periodical for January, 1837. We give a brief extract
from the latter :

**ThegrMit charm of Mr. Sverett^ orations oonalflts not so much
In any single and strongly-developed Intelleetual trait as In that
Symmetiy and finish which, on erery page, glre token ci the
nehly-endowed and thorough scholar. The natural movements
of his mind are full of grace; and the most Indlflerent sentenoe
Whkh Iklls from bis pen has that simple ele^nce which it Ifl as
tfffleidt to define as It ts easy to perceive. His level passages are
never tamei and bis fine ones are never superfine. His style, with
matcblees flexibility, rises and Uls with his sul^ect, and is alter-
nately easy, Tlvid. elevated, ornamented, or picturesque ; adapting
ttself to toe dominant mood of the mind, as an Instrument re-
qtonds to the touch of a master's hand. Ills knowledge Is ao
extaoalve, and the field of his allnalons ao wide, that the most
flunlllar views, in passing tbroagh his bands, gather saeh a halo of
Imminoui illastratkjna, that their llkeneas seems traoaSMmed, and
ireentertain doubts of their identity." — 0K0R0BSTiu.KA.ir Hnx&ask
Mr. Tuckerman also notices this remarkable power of
adaptation to subjects the most incongruous, which Mr.
Xverett's mind exhibits in so eminent a degree:

** If Webster Is the Michael Angelo of American oratory, Bvorett
Ss the Saphael. In the former's definition of eloquence, he recog-
nlaea Its ktent existence in the oeeaakm as well as in the man and
In the snl^t. Uis own oratory Is remarkable for grasping the
hold and easential ; for doreloplng, as it were, the anatomical basis
•—the veiT dnews and nerves of his subject — while Everett in-
stinctively catches and unfolds the grace of occa^n, whatever it
he; In bis mind tbe sense of beauty Is vivid, and nothing Is more
surprising in his oratory than the ease and flurllity with which he
■eiaea apon the redeeming associations of every topic however Ikr
removed It may be from the legitimate domain of taste or scholar-
■hlp." — CAoracCoTificf qf LU^uhire; $eoond Kria; Jht Orator:

The introduction of the name of Daniel Webster gives
Va an opportunity of presenting a sketch, drawn by this
eminent statesman, of the services and character of the
nibjeet of our notice :

** We all remember him, — some of ns personally, — myself, oer-
talnW, with great Interest, In his deliberations in the Congress of
ilia united States, to which he brought such a d^ree of learning,
and ability, and eloquence, as l^w equalled, and none snrpamed.
Vm administered, afterwards, satlsflictorlly to his fellow-citizens,
the dutks of the chair of the eommon wealth. He then, to the
great advantage of his country, went abroad. He was deputed to
jepresent his government at the most Important court of Europe;
and he carried thither many qnalltlsL most <tf them essential, and
all of them ornamental and usefhl. io fill that high station. He
liad education and scholarship. He had a reputation at home and
abroad. More than all. be luid an acquaintance with the polltice
of the world, wHh tbe law of this country and of nations, with the
history and policy of the conutriea of Europe. And how well theae
analitles enabled him to reflect honour upon the Iltemture and
character of hia natWe land, not wo only, but all the country and
all the world, know. He has performed this career, and is yet at
such a period of lilb, that I may venture something upon the cha-
lacter and privilege of my eountrymeu, when I predict that tlioee
who have known him long and know him nowj those who have

seen Um and see him now, those who have heard trim and bear
hini now, are very likely to think that hia country has demands
upon him for future eQorta in Its service.'' — Spuch of Daniel Wtib&ter
cd the first Anniveraary Jiwling q/" the NarfiMc AgitcvlLwral Society.

It is pleasing to know that the friendly, almost fraternal,
rslations which united the hearts of these two distinguished
patriots were never disturbed by misunderstandings, nor
chilled by estrangements. To this gratifying truth we
have the annexed touohlDg testimony. It occurs in a
letter from Mr. Webster to Mr. Everett, written but about
three months before the decease of the former:

" We now and then see stri'tching across the heavens a clear,
blue, cerulean sky, without cloud, or mist, or haxe. And such
appears to me our acquaintance, from the time when I heard you
for a week recite your lessons In the little scho^faonae In Short
Street to the date hereoC fSlst July, 18&2."J

Referring to Mr. Webster's hopes of future patriotlo
efforts upon ihe part of the subject of this ealogium, we
may be permitted to say that undoubtedly tbe best senrioe
that Mr. Everett can confer upon his country is the pro-
duction of a great woric upon some broad question, with
which the interests of humanity are sufficiently connected
to insure the preservation of the fame and usefulness of
the author, with the vitality of the subject We are
pleased, therefore, that Mr. Everett has selected tbe Law
of Nations as tbe topic of the treatise which he is now be-
lieved to have in course of preparation. But we cannot
withhold the expression of our hope that the work will be
less restricted in its field than the author leads us to inferi
when he informs us that it will have especial reference

*'To those questions which have been discussed between tbe
governmenta of the United States and Europe slnoe the peace of

The commentaries of so able and luminoas an expositor
npon tbe text, original and collected, of Grotius, Puffendori^
Barlamaqui, KlUber, Heincccins, Fulbeck, Selden, Luo-
chesi-Palli, and Mass6, would make oven the layman In
love with learning which, to his great loss, he often re-
grets as "beyond his line and measure." We must con-
fess that we are altogether unwilling to resign to the eru-
dite gentlemen of the long robo all the intellectual pleasure
and improvement arising from the investigation of the
principles of "the perfection of reasoning," as the law has
— rather ambitiously, perhaps — been styled. Although a
laic, we have found the philosophy of Jurisprudence well
worthy of the "Second Brother's" commendation of philo-
sophy in general, in tiiat

" Perpetual bast of neetar*d sweetly'*—
the Masque of Comus.

But to return to Mr. Everett's projected work: we o«a-
fess that we hope with trembling, when we remember the
many instances in which the great intelieotnal architects
of our race have rased the half-built edifice to the ground,
or refused to finish its proportions, from a despair of equal-
ling an ideal model, from which the severity of an exqui-
sitely-refined judgment would tolerate no defalcation.
Much is thus forever lost to the world, which would have
gladly profited by that which has been mistakenly with-
held. Such severe judges of their own labours must con-
sider not only what their works laok of perfection, but to
how great an extent the minds of many of their prospective
readers are deficient of even rudimental knowledge, and
the perception of first principles.

To provide for such, whilst not forgetftil of the mor«
advanced, — to call in the poor and the destitute, who ean
make no recompense, as well as to lud those who can
summon in return to tbe intellectual feast, — may not be
so gratifying to ambition^ but it fulfils charity, and ia re*
commended by the highest sanction.

On imposing convocations, indeed, Jupiter entertained
the gods with ambrosia; but the JOiovit Pai«r knew also
how to prepare a feast suited to the humbler appetites of
mortals. But if there be, indeed — though we are persuaded
better things — any well-grounded apprehension that the
world is never to behold the noble superstructure which
Mr. Everett has long been erecting upon the sure founda-
tion of his deep and solid erudition, then we shall feel jus-
tified in invoking the aid of a potent champion on behalf
of a cause in which the interests of society, the science of
legislation, and the moral and intellectual improvement
of millions, are so deeply concerned. Surely such an ap-
peal as the following — an appeal so eloquent, and from an
authority always so venorablej and now sanctified by the
seal of tbe tomb — shall not prove in vain :

** You have, I trust, many yean before you of health and lahonr.
What I desire la, that, In addition to the many beauUful— ay,
exquisitely beautlAil — specimens of your genius which we have
bad upon occasional toploa, voa would now meditate some great
work mr posterity, which shall make yon known and felt through
all time as we» your oontemporaries, now know and esteem joa.

Faber, George Stanley, 1773-1854, Master of
Bherbum Hospital, and Prebendary of Salisbury, educated
at TJniTersity ColU, Oxf., was elected Fellow and Tutor of
Lincoln Coll, before he had reached his 21st year. In 1803
he relinquished his fellowship by marriage; after which
he acted for two years in the capacity of curate to bis fa-
ther, the Her. Thomas Faber, of Calrerley, near Bradford,
Torkshire. In 1805 he hemme ricar of Stookton-upon-
Teas, three years later vicar of Redmarshall, and in 1811
Tioar of Longnewton, where he remained for 21 years.
For these preferments he was indebted to the friendship
of Bishop Barrington. In 1831 Bishop Burgess collated
Mr. Faber to a prebend in Salisbury Cathedral; and in
1833 Bishop Van Hildert gave him the mastorship of Sher-
bnm Hospital, which he retained for the long term of 22
years — ^baing called to his rwit January 27, 1854, in the
81st year of his age, Mr. Faber's profound erudition, ar-
dent piety, and nnoompromising adrooaoy of what he
•steamed the truth, rendered him an object of respect and
Tenemtion with all classes of bis fellow-men. The follow-
iog list of his writings exhibits ina striking light the oom-
piehensiTe character of his studies. We extract the titles
from the London Oentlemen's Magaiine for May, 1S54,
where the reader will find an interesting biographioal no-
tice of this excellent man and useful writer:

"The leading object of It Is to establish the authenticity of the

" This parialtss strongly of all the characteiisttcs of Mr. Faber's

and a hearty love of hypothesis. There Is a great deal said In

" Mr. Faber has endeavoured to combine together tlw various
prophecies both of the Old and New Testament, which treat of
the grand double period of seven times; a period coinciding with
those tiaws of the OentUes, which are styled, by Mr. Mede, -The
Sacred Calendar of Piopliecy.' In the present more extensive

1853. Few who have written so much and so long bare
so well maintained their reputation. In this connexion
we may justly quote the remurlu of the author of The
Christian Preacher:

" Mr. Faber is the moat voluminous writer of the age. For seve-
ral years his publications have appeared with surprising rapidity,
considering their nature; and yet not one of them bears any mark
of undue haste. His Ham MaiaUxt, Origin of Idolatry, DUBculties
of Komanism, DUBculties of Infldellty, and trratlses on Klectlou,
Justification, Regeneration, Apostollclty of Trinltarlanlsm, Ac, are
among the most valoable publications of modem times.'*— i>r. JSL

The letters seem to bare bean the only one of his oompo-

Falconer, William, 1730-1769, the aon of an Edin-
bnrgh barber, at a very early age became a sailor boy on
board a Leith merchantman. When in hia 18th year, he
waa wrecked in tbe Britannia off Cape Colonna, only three
of the crew being saved; and in 1760 suffered a second
shipwreck in the Ramilies, when of 734 souls only 26
•scaped. In 1751 he pub. a Poem on the death of Frede-
rick, Prince of Wales. This seems to have excited but
little attention. But eleven years later he gave evidence
of the posaeasioD of remarkable poetical powera by the
publication of The Shipwreck, (aubsequently enlarged and
Improved,) dedicated to the Duke of Tork. His royal
highneaa acknowledged the compliment of tho dedication
an

! by having the poet appointed a midshipman. After acting

in this capacity, and that of purser, for some time, be re-

I tired to the enjoyment of domestic life, having married a

Miss Hicks, daughter of tho surgeon of Sbeemeas Yard.

He now pub. an Ode on the Duke of York's second deparl-

{ ure from England, as Rear-Admiral, and The Demagogue,

' a aatire on Lord Chatham, Wilkes, and Churchill. In

I 1769 he gave to tbe world A Universal Dictionary of the

Marine, 4to, 1771, '80, '84, '89. New and enlarged tfd. by

I Dr. Wm. Bnmey, 181i, r. 4to.

" A grand National work, comprehending every thing relating

I to the Marine of this eoantn: a performance which displays great

I Industry, sa^dty, and precision, and Is indispensable to eveiy one

concerned In maritime afblrs. It is well worthy a place in ereiy

I English library." — Lon. GaU. Mag.

AlMut this time he is said to have received proposals
from John Murray, afterwards the eminent publisher, to
enter into the book bnsinesa. But the offer of the purscr-
' ship to the Aurora, about to aaii to India, no donbt revived
I all the Bailor's love of the sea, and Falconer aniled in this
I vessel from England, Sept. 30, 1769. She is known to
have touched at the Cape, but waa never heard of aflcr-
I wards. She ia aupposed to have foundered in tbe Moiam-
' bique Channel. It adda a melancholy interest to the
I thrilling scenes depicted in Tbe Shipwreck, to rememlier
I that tbe author experienced ail, not excepting tbe last and
moat fearfbl, of tbe horrors which be baa so graphically de-
scrilied. A second ed. of The Shipwreck was pub. in 1764,
8vo; 3d ed., 1785, Svo; New ed., with critical Remarks,
i^ditional Notes, and the Life of tbe Author, by tbe Rev,
Jamea Stanior Clarke, 1804, Svo. Other eds. of The Ship-
wreck, 1808, r. 4to., 1818, 12mo. This last edition containa
an engraving of a ahip, with refbrences to an explanatory
table. The valne of this aaxiliary to a non-nautical reader
need not be enlarged on. The other productions of Fal-
coner have never I>een highly estimated. An ed. of bis
Poems, with a Memoir by the Rev. J. Mitford, (Pickering's
Aldine Poets, vol. xxxvii.) appeared in 1836, I2mo. In
The Shipwreck, Falconer describee an actual occurrence
in which he was a participator — tbe wreck of tbe Britannia
off Cape Colonna :

" In all Attica. If we except Athens Itself and Mantbon, ihm is
no scene more interesting than Cape Colonna. To the antlqnaty
and artist, sixteen columns are an Inexhaustible souroe 0i obser-
vallon and design ; to the phllosoplier, the sappoaed scene of some
of Plato's conversations will not be unwelcome; and tho traTeller
will be struck with the beauty of the nroFpect over * Isles that
crown the iBgann deep;' but for an Englishman Colonna has yet
an additional interest, ae the actual spot of Falconer's 8falpwr«ek.
Pallas and Flato are fcrgoltan tn the recoUecthn ef lUasoar and
Chmpbell :

' Here in the dead of night, by Lonna's steep,
The seaman's cry was heard along the deep.
(jntatwrr* of Mtmory.y^ — fjoan Braoir.

" The Shipwreck has been always popular, and wUl remain so^
while British sympathies are excited by the hazards of Uuae who
* Sweep through the deeps
WhDe the Ktormy tempests blow.'
It contains several fine descriptions of scenery. Tbe characters
of the oflleers are drawn by a maaterir penciL The episode of
Palemon and Anna Is exquisitely wrongbt.'' — S. C. Hall

The merits of this celebrated composition are indeed in-
deniable. None but a great poet could have written The
Shipwreck, and that great poet mast of neoeaaity have
been a thorough sailor. What home and its placid attrae-
tions are to tbe landsman, the sea and the storm were to
Falconer. Be delights in decking tho ocean with all the
terrific sublimity and wild beauty of whieh it ia capable^
and then calling upon ns to admire the pioture : onr admi-
ration may be enforced, but whilst we tremble, we eannot
but applaud.

But a higher valne ia claimed for thia poem than U
possesses as the means of mere intelleetnal gratification :

** It la of Inestimable value to this oonntry, since It eontalas
within itself the mdlments of navigation ; If not snfllclent to Ibim
a complete seaman, it may certainly be considered as the grammar
of bis profi>ssional science, 1 have heard many experience ofleers
declnre, that the rules and maxims delivered In this poem, fcr the
condnct of a ship In the most perilous emergency, form tbe beat,
Indeed the only, opinions wblefa a sklUU mariner should adopt."—

Farmer, Richard, D.D., 1735-1797, a divine of ex-

Boiannel Coll., Camb., of which he l>ecame Master in 1776.
He subsequently became Vice-Chancellor and prinoipal
Itibrsrian of the University, and obtained prebends at
Iiicblield and Canterbury. He exchanged the latter for a
eanonry at St. Paul's. Both an English and an Irish
bishopric were offered to him and declined. In 1766 he
isaoed proposals for pub. a History of the Town of Leioes-
tar, from the MSS. of William [shonld be Thomas] Btaveley.
He fonnd the work too laborious, and gave his materiRla
to John Nichols, whose History and Antiquities of Lei-
eeeter, 4 vols, fol., 1795-1811, is deservedly rained. In
17M, 8to, Dr. Farmer gave to the world his celebrated
Bssay on the Learning of Shakspeare, 2d ed., with large
•ddita., 1767, Svo.; 12 copies on thick paper. Reprinted
in 1789 and in 1821. Also printed with Bteevens's ed. of
Shmlcspeaie, 1793, and the eds. by Read in 1803 and Har-
lis in 1812.

The extent of Sfaakspeare's knowledge of the classics
which he so freely uses had long been a mooted point.
ftnrmer hit npon the only plan by which the question could
be settled. He proves that Shakspeare derived his know-
ledgpe through translations, and not from the originals, by
shovring that he has cited the phraseology, and even the
■rrora, of the translators. We must then agree with an
eminent critic who styles Farmer's Essay

«*A work by wlilch an end Is put forever to the dispute conoero-
fe^ ibe learnlBg of Shakspeare.'' — B*. Wartoic.

I>r. Johnson and Farmer were well acquainted with eaoh
otber ; and several letter* from the lexicographer to the
JCaster of Emanuel College will be found in BosweH's Life
of the former. In one dated March 21, 1770, we find the
following reference to Farmer's Essay :

*^Im anpport of an opinion whii^ you have airsady placed above
tbe need of any more sapport, Mr. Steerens, s very ingenious gen-
tlemmn, lat.jly of Ktii^s College, has collected snsccountofall the
tvmimUitlons which Shakspeare might hare seen end used. He
irlaboe lals catalogue to be perftet, snd therplbre entreats that you
wOl nsToar 1dm hj the lassrtlan of soch additions ss the aceuncy
otjoar tnqairies have enabled yon to make."

'We aUso And tiw following note in Langton's papers :
MColflian, In a note on his translation of Terence, talking of
Shmkxpeem's learning, asks, ' What says Farmer to this? What
— y jobnsonr Upon this be observed, ' Sir, let Farmer answer
Ibr lilsnwdf: / never engaged in this oootroversy. I always Bald
ghelMpge" had Latin anongh to gnunmatldse his English.' " —
f^0 Boriwrell's Lite of Johnson.

Jtr. Parr excelled in epitaphs and other enlogistio floa-
gjsbaa- ^ complimented Farmer, both living and dead.

We regret that we lack space to enable ns to give both or
either to the reader. And, alas! what space have wa
wherein to depict the wonders of Farmer's library ? It
was sold by Mr. King, in 1798, and produced £2210, whioh
was about £1700 more than it was supposed to hare cost
him. But for a continuation of this ravishing theme —
ravishing, if our reader be a true Bibliomaniac— we must
refer to Dibdin's Bibliomania. Those who are so unhappy
as to be without this volume deserve pity, and — room of
no room — they shall have a few lines about Rari RicaAU
Farmsk:

" How shall I talk of thee, and of thy wonderful collection, 0
Raks Ricuaxk FAKKia!— and of thy scholarship. aontaDess, plea-
nutry, singularltiee, varied learning, and colloquial powersl Thy
name will lire long among Rcbolarsln general; and in the bosoms
of virtuous and learned bibliomaniacs thy memory shall be ever
shxtnedl The walls of Emanuel College now cease to convey the
sounds of thy festive wit; thy volumes are no longer seen, like
Richard Smith's ' bundles of sticht books,* strewn upon the Hoor;
snd thou hast ceased, in the cause of thy beloved Shakspeare. to
delve Into the fruitful ore of black-letter literature. Peace to thy
honest spirit; for thou wert wise without vanity, learned without
pedantry, and Joyous without vulgarity. . . . Farmer had his ftv
ragers, his jackals, and his avant<auri'^t, tor It was well known
how dearly be loved every thing tbat was IntareHtlng and rare in
the literature of former ages. As he walked the streets of London
— careless of bis dress, and whether his wig was full-bottomed or
narrow-bottomed — he would talk and * mutter strange speeches' to
himselt^ thinking all the time, I ween, of some curious dlsoovery

Famabie, or Faraaby, Thomas, 1575-1647, an
eminent grammarian, a native of London, studied for some
time at Merton Coll., Oxf., which he left for a college of the
Jesuits in Spain. Returning to England, he taught school
alternately at Martock in Somersetehire, in London, and
at Bevenoaks, in Kent. Be hod charge of the sons of
many of the noblemen, and acquired a large property.
During the Rebellion bo suffered imprisonment as a friend
to the monarchy. He pub. several learned works— com-
mentaries on Juvenal, Persius, Seneca, Martial, Ovid, Te>
rence, and Lucian, Index Rhetoricua, 1625, 8vo, Bystema
Grammaticnm, 1641, Svo, Ac. — for particulars of which
see Athen. Oxon., Biog. BriL, and Oenl. Diet.

The remark of bis which offended the Parliamentarians
was, that it was " better to have one king than five hun-
dred:" whioh shrewd reflection is of itself enough to prove
him a man of excellent sense. The nation soon came
round to his way of thinking. But good laws are the beat
kings.

"Be was the chief grammarian, rhetorician, poet, hitlnlst, and
Grecian, of his time; and his school was so much frequented, that
more churchmen and statesmen issued thence thantfrom any schod
taught by one man in England." — AOun. Oxon,

the famous actor, persuaded him to turn author ; and, un-
fortunately for Uie world, a lieutenant's commission, con-
ferred upon bim by Lord Orrery, enabled him to corrupt

" Fatquhar died young. Re Improved In each play ; Ms last was
the best Had be lived, he would probably havemadeavery good
writer that way."— OuDwoaTB : .<^ce'< Amcdolrt.

"Considering the manner of writing then in liuhlon, the purity
of Sir John goekllng's style is quite surprising^L. (He spoke
ef Farquhar at the same time as a mean poet and as placed by
•one In a higher rank than be deeerved. Mr. Pope always used
to call Farqnhar a krce-wrltsr.")— /Md.

" As a writer, the cninious of critics have been various. The
general character which has been given of his comedies Is, that the
Buooees of most of tfaem fcr exceeded the author's expectations ;
that he was porUenlarly happy In the choice of his sul^ects, which
he always took cars to adom with a great variety of charactera and
incidents; that his style hi pure and unalhcted, his wit natural
and flowllw, and bis plots generally well contrived. But then,
an the eoniraiy, It has been oblaeted that he was too iMsty in his

sieductions ; that his works ore looas, though not Isdatd n inid;
libertine OS thoeeofsome other wits of his time; that tail inagiBft'
tlon, though lively, was capable of no great eoupsss; sad hli vtt,
though passable, not soch as vrould ^In gionnd oa mniUwi

** He seems to have been a man of a genius nther sprlgbtly Uaa
great mther flowery than solid. His comedies ar» dirartli^ !•■
cauae his charactera are natural, and such as we flsquently MMt
with; but he baa used no art In drawing them, nor doss ttani^
pear any fbroe of thinking in his peifciuianees, or any 4Mp fiw>
tratlon into nature, bnt rather a superfleiai view, pltaaaat eaoikk
to the eye. though capable of leaving no gnat linpwiloB ca tks
mind." — Cibbtr't Lire*.

** Farqnhar is a light and gay writer, less comet and leu nn^
ling than Congreve, bnt he has more ease, and, perhaps, iwlj u
great a shara of the vis comica. The two best and least aetf
nonable of his plays ara the ' Recruiting Oflicer* and * Btsux fitia.

" Of this bool^ the Brst pari of which was published hi 1627, the
aeeond not until after the middle of the century, It Is not uncom-
mon to meet with high praises In those modem writers, who pro-
ftae a Mthful allegiance to our older literature. For myself I can
only say that Feltham appears not only a laboured and artMcial,
hoi a ahallow, writer. Among hia many fiiulta, none strike me
more than a want of depth, which hIa pointed and aententloua
Banner renders more ridiculous. ... He Is one of our worst wrl-

We quote one obaervation of Feltham's, pertinent to the
abject of this Dietionaiy.

" It was aa observation of the exoellent Plutarch, that we ought
to regard books ss we do sweetmeats; not chiefly to aim at the
pleaaantest, nut chiefly to respect thewholeaomest; notforUddiag

Feltham says truly enough, in another place,

"Learning 611s ihr short of wisdom, nay, so fiir, that you can

"An edition of Fergusaon, such as tbls Is — complete, carefol, and
handsome— was wanted, and Is welcome."- /Snitmaa.

Habits of dissipation resulted in poverty and despond-
ency, and the poet ended his life in the Insane Asylum at
Bdinbargh. An interesting memoir of Fergusson will be
found in Chambers's Lives of tllust. and Diet. Scotsmen.
Bums greatly admired Ferguason, and was stimulated to
poetical composition by reading his elTusions. He erected
a monument to his memory in the Canongata churchyard,
and often bewails his unhappy end, both in bis prose and
poetical pieces. We quote the following elegy, written by
Bums in a copy of Fergnsson's works :

"Cune on ungrateful man tbat can be pleased,
And ret can starve the author of his pleasurel
Oh, tbou. my elder brother In misfortune,
By Ihr my elder brother in the muses.
With tears I pity thy unhappy litel
Why Is the hard unfitted for the world.
Yet has so keen a relish of Its pleasures t"

This ia all very absurd. If "the bard" would enldvais
industry and virtue, instead of addicting himself to lb*
"good aherria aack," he would do well enough in "tba
world."

Femtr» Nicholas, 1S02-16S7, one of the most ez-
eellent of men. in great reputation for learning and piety,
k natire of London, wa> educated at Clare Hall, Cam-
bridge. He aeted for aome time aa secretary to the Vir-
ginia Company, and in 1624 was chosen member of Par-
liament. In the last-mentioned year he purchased the
lordship of Little Gidding, in the county of Huntingdon,
where, with his mother, •later, and other relations — he
never married — to the number of forty persons, he esta-
blished what has often been called The English Nunnery.
More properly speaking, the community of Little Gidding
Torahipped God after tne strict model of ancient devotion.
In the words of Bishop Home,

"The piooi Mr. NletaolM Ferrar exhibited in the last oentnry
tea '"■♦■"^^ of a Protcetant ftmljy in which a constant coarse of
Psalmody was appointed, and lo strictly kept up, that, through
Vb» whole tnir aoa twenty honn of day and night, there was no
pertkn of time when some of the members wete not employed In
the perlbnnlnK that most pleaaant part of duty and deTOtHm." —
OsUKXt <m CXXjrrr. Aalm.

This exeellent family did notQnly"ahow piety at heme,"
bvt were the nnrses, the counsellors, the bodily and spiri-
toal physicians, of the whole neighbourhood. Whether
the eommunity of Little Gidding had too much piety or
not, it less becomes the reader to inquire, than whether
be himself have enough ! If tbe banqueting hall of
lACnllns were more frequently converted into the oratory
of Little Gidding, it would be difficult to show that society
or the world would be the loser.

We would fain linger on this pleasing theme, but must
nfer tbe reader to Memoirs of the Life of Mr. Nicholas
Vtarar, by the Rev. P. Peckard, D.D., Camb., 1790, 8to.;
abridged, Lon., 18S2, tf. 8to; to Chalmers's Biog. Diet,
and to Dibdin's Bibliomania. Nicholas Ferrar pub., witb-
ont his name, a trans, of the 110 Considerations brought

Permr, Robert, Bishop of St. David's, 1548, bnmed,
1555, was an ancestor of the preceding. Bishop Burnet
says he was one of the committee nominated to compile
the English liturgy, but his name does not appear among
those who prepared the new liturgy in 1S47. Probably
Bnmet refers to the correction of the liturgy in 1540.

Seorgo Ferrers, Edward Ferrers. It is therefore very
donbtfiil whether Edward Ferrers, who was of a War-

Fielding, Henry, 1707-17S4, a son of Lieutennnt-
Oeneral Fielding, and great-grandson of William, third Earl
of Denbigh, was bom at Sharpham Park, Somersetshire, on
the 22d of ApriL After prosecuting his elnssical studies at
Eton, he went to the University of Leyden, where, for two
years, he devoted himself to the investigation of civil law.
The straitened circumstances of General Fielding placed
Henry in a mortifying position among his fellow-students,
and before the termination of his 21st year he returned to
London, and became a writer for the stage. His Comedy of
Love in several Maeqnes appeared in the same year — 1727
—in which be returned to England, and notwithstanding
the little encoarageraent which the author received, he
prodvced a long list of plays, of which even the names are
BOW unknown to the majority of readers. In 1734 Field-
ing fell deeply in lore with a celebrated beauty, Miss
Charlotte Ciadock, possessed of many accomplishments,
and £1SOO. An immediate union was the result of thia
acquaintance, and the groom at this time coming into pos-
session of about £200 per annum by the death of his
mother, the young couple retired to their estate in the
country.

Here they might hare lived in comfort and respectability ;
bnt these substantial blessings by no means satisfied the
ambition of a gay cavalier, who aspired to a splendid esta-
bliehment and a crowd of boon companions. A host of
•errsBts, horses, bounds, and an open table to all the rakes
who chose to lire upon his bounty, reduced Fielding to
poverty; in three years his cofi'ers were exhausted, hia
eonstitution shattered, and his summer friends on the
wing to mors promiaing paaturei.

He returned to London, determined to put into prott»
able exercise that knowledge of the law which he had ac-
quired in happier days. There is every reason— excepting
an apprehension of the return of oonvivial habits — to sup-
pose that he would have succeeded in the arduous voeation
which he had embraced with great seal, had it not been for
violent and repeated attacks of the gout, which forbade hia
attendance on the circuits. He therefore again sought and
obtained literary employment, and we soon find him as-
sistant editoi' of The Champion, a periodical paper, and
anthor of the essays On Conversation, On the Knowledge
of the Characters of Men, and the Journey from this World
to the Kext. At this time also he produced some poetical
compositions, which do not seem to have possessed any un-
common merit. We should not omit to mention, as a proof
of his diligence whilst yet engaged in legal pursuits, that
be prepared a voluminous Digest of the Statutes at Large,
in two folio volumes, which remsined unpublished in tlie
hands of his brother. Sir John Fielding, his successor in
the post of Middlesex magistrate. He now gave to the
world a curious satire, entitled The History of Jonathan
Wild the Great, which haa received the rather dubious
compliment of being

" Perhaps the most lagenlously^uranged deeeriptloa of a tiseoe
of blackgusrdliuna which has ever been f^ren to tne world."

In 1742 appearedthenovelof Joseph Andrews; in 1749
he pub. Tom Jones ; and two years later gratified bis large
circle of admirers by the novel of Amelia, which be sold
for £1000.

In Amelia, the anthor drew a picture of hisjrife, to whom
he was sincerely attached, and whose death he was called
upon to mourn whilst struggling amidst pecuniary embar-
rassments. The mourner, however, did not absolutely re-
fuse consolation.

"His biographers seem to have been shy of disclosing that, attsr
the death of this channlDg woman, lie married her nuid. And
yet the act was not so discreditable to his character as it may sound.
The maid had few personal charms, but was sn excellent creature,
devotedly attached to her mistress, and almost broken-bearted for
her loea In the first agonies of his own grief, which approached
to frensy, he found no relief but from weeping along with her;
nor solace, when a degree calmer, but In talking of the anfcel they
I mutually regretted. This made her his habitual confidential arso-
! date, and In proccos of time he began to tbtnk ho could not give
bis children a tenderer mother, or secure for himself a mors feltb*
ful housekeeper and nune. At least this was what he told his
friends ; and It Is certain that her eondnct as his wife confirmed it,
and fully juitlfled bis good opinion."— X<(6tj and Wirkt qf Ladg

Id 1745 Fielding supported the government in The True
Patriot, and in 1748 conducted s periodical of the same
I character, entitled The Jacobite's Jonmal. When 43 years
of age, be received the appointment of a Justice of tho
Peace for the county of Middlesex, and retained this post
I OBtil within a short time of bis death. He seems, from hia
kaowledge both of law and criminal character, to have
I been admirably adapted to this troublesome office, and
! evinced a laudable seal for the public interest by publish-
ing An Inquiry into the causes of the late increase of Rob-
bers, 1751, and a Proposal for making an Efieotual Pro-
vision for the Poor, for amending their Morals, and for
rendering them osefnl Members of Soeiety, I7&3.

" These tracts, having been written by the most eminent of Bng.
Hsh novelists, have attracted ftiUyas mnch attention as they were
entitled to on account of their latiinsie merits. The first, bow-
ever, Is written with great force, and contains various statements
and reasonings that throw a great deal of light ou the causes of
crime and pauperism, and on the state of the Londou poor at the
time. But, like most other writers on tbe same subject, Fieldlog
hms ascribed fiir too much to legislative and police arrangements,
and too little to the care and dlscretfcm of individuals."— JfcCW-
. tocli't Lit. of IWl. Earn.

The last service he rendered to the public in his official
I capacity was the extirpation — by the approbation of go-
vernment, who placed a fund of £600 at his disposal for
; the purpose — of several gangs of thieves and highwaymen
: who grievously afflicted the good citiiens of London. At-
I though now in a wretehod state of health, he contrived for
! a twelvemonth to edit with great ability a new semi-weekly
periodical, entitled The Covent-Garden Joornal, which be-
came a great favourite with the pnblio. In 1754 he sailed
I for Lis^n for the benefit of his health, and died October 8,
two months after his arrival, in the 48tfa year of hia age.
His Joomal of hia Voyage was pub. in 1756, 12mo. We
I have already stated that Fielding never enjoyed mnch
I popularity as a writer for the stage.

" Willie it most be acknowledged that Fieldio^s genius was not

We now proceed to addace the opinions of a host of
eminent authorities respecting those works — his three no-
vels— by which Fielding achieved so general and go durable
a reputation. As a great artist, indeed, exquisitely happy
in catching and transferring to his canvas those features
of hnman nature which must always interest, because im-
mediately recognised as genuine by men of all ages and
minds of all grades. Fielding has never been surpassed.
How deeply then is it to lie lamented, that, lacking a high
■ease of moral responsibility, be delighted chiefly in paint-
ing the least refined, least elevated characteristics of his
species, and permitted himself to stimulate the passions to
the excesses of vice, instead of causing those ''passions to
move at the oommand of virtue" I There are never want-
ing apologists, indeed, for greater transgressors than Henry
Fielding ; and Coleridge, whose language we shall presently
quote, would have eon^dered the above an uncharitable
Twdict. But it is not to be questioned that there are many
passages in Joseph Andrews, Amelia, and Tom Jones,
which a licentious taste would gladly extend for the same
reasons that would Induce a moral censorship to have them
totally expunged. Bat we must not delay oar promised
eltation of opinions.

Those who are inclined to think us too rigid in this Jndg-
mont, should remember Fielding's own self-candemnatoiy
verdict upon his early dramatic writings :

"At length, repenting ftOltc flights of youth,
Onoe more he flies to Nature and to Tmth;
In virtue's Just delbDoe aspires to Ihme,
Nor courts wftplause with the applander's shame."

PnlagtK to rkt HoOan Hudmid.

Alaa, that his repentance should have been as "the
morning cloud and Uie early dew" I

1. The Adventures of Joseph Andrews, published in 1742.
This work. Dr. Warton informs as, was "valued by Field-
ing above all his writings." The Doctor adds, "as he
justly may." — WoolFt Lift of Wartan. But we imagine
that few-will coincide with this judgment Fielding him-
■elf tells us that it was intended for an imitation of the
tliyle and manner of Cervantes.

" How deUgbtfaUy be has copied the homour, the gravity, and
the fine ridicule of his master, they can wttneas who are acquainted
witb both writers." — AaTHoa HcaruT.

Both Chalmers and Warton dissent fVom this opinion,
■ad eonaider " Fielding's ridioule of a very diifeTent species
from that of the Spanish novelist" But Dr. Aikin also
refers to "the grave Cervantic style, adopted in the novel
of Joseph Andrews." However this may l>e, there Is no
doubt at nil that Fielding intended to ridicule the " senti-
m

llE

mentaHsm," as it la generally denominated, of the grsil
novelist of the day — Samuel Richardson.

•■ WfaOe, however. It Is highly nrobable that be bad Cemates Is
his eye. It Is certain that the ntlric and burlesque portion of Jneyk
Andrews was suggested to him by the pernsil of Ridisnboo'i
Pamela, oo the overwrought reflnenumt and stnlned tentkHBt
of which It affords a humomus commentary In the adTentiiRi of
her professed brother, the hero. Besldas Its Inbiuic wltindu'
cellence, It 1ms tbus a twolbld attraction In the comle ind ^m-
leaque qiirit It maintains throughout In the same va; u tkcit
ventures of the Spanish knight and bis squire, howerer ladicnai
In themselves, are relished with a double sest from the rantnil
they offer to the dlgnUed bearing and marrellons deeds of the oM
Paladins. How exqulaltaly Fielding has canght tbe hasnnr.U'
sumed gravity, and delleale satire ofhis prototype, tbe; vbo kin
compared the two maater-pleces will readily admit: and tbit b>
loses nothing In i^ut of ariglnaltty."— TaoMis Bosooi: I^c ad
Wbrkt (/ Hmry tUMiig.'

The elder novelist was greatly offended at what he toy
naturally considered an nnwarrantable liberty.

"Richardson was exceedingly hurt at this; the mors ■> u tttf
had been on nod terms, and he was very Intimate wttb IleldlB^
two sistera He never appears cordially to hare fiavlTen H, (p»
haps It was not In human nature he should.) and he uvayf ipoks
In bis letters with a great deal of asperity at 'Tom Jones,' mm

her."— Mas. BiBBSOLB: Memoir <^ litlditit.prtfixed to Mi dm-
tpondeiux,

Mr. Thackeray appends the above to an apofc)gy for what
we must consider indefbnsible.

■'Fielding, no douM, began to write this novd In iMkditI
Pamela, Ibr which work one can understand the hojij eooteapt
and antipathy whkh such an athletic and boisterous (tiiha u
Fielding's mnst have entertained. Heeouldnotdootbecwisstbia

not on dishes of tea. SiM muse had sang th* loudest la tsrwa
choruses; bad seen the daylight streaming In over thooKidioC

Keither the wit nor the morality of these Ihies in voy
discernible to us. They exhibit two of the prominoit
faults of an otherwise good writer: a constant dispositiss
to carieatore, and an ever-present willingness to apologiii
for men of loose manners and dissipated nabita We bin
often listened with pleasure — indeed, with edillcatioB— to
Mr. Thackeray's moral reflections upon the Lives sol
Works of the departed great, bnt we soon found that ths
summing np of the learned judge leaned not always "to
virtue's side ;" and if the literary offender happened to Is
a three-bottle man, we entertained no appreheniioai fix
his safety, and felt quite oonfident that a gentle nbok^
hardly calculated to depopulate the tables of Lueolla^
would be the extent of hia pnnialiment

Even the displeasure of Richardson did not pnrest
Joseph Andrews from immediately finding a host a! lesd-
ers. The faithful subjects of the great master wen ix*
proof against the fascinations of gm>d Parson Aianu sad
the unfortunate Leonora ; and those who had been ebarsM
with the eharaotar of Pamela, were equally delighted will
the unsophisticated virtue of her worthy l»rother, the ex-
cellent Joseph Andrews. Wo may be allowed to sumnj
that many of Richardson's adherents, whilst indignaatit
the ridicule caat upon their leader, yet could not )*''•■
oretly propound to themselves the quotion which Sir wil-
ter Scott openly proposes :

" How can we wish that undone wlthont wUdi Fsnon aOBS
would not bare existed?" .

The book became a general {hvonilte with all claws «
readers, and equally engrossed the litaniy half-koct «

Dr. Beattie can hardly find terms sufficiently expressivo
to convey to the world his admiration of the management
of the plot of Tom Jones :

" Since the days of Homer the world has not seen a more artful
epie &ble. The characters and adrentures are wonderfully diversi-
fied; yet the droumstaneee are all so natural, and rise so eaidly
ftom one another, and cooperate with so much regularity In bring-
ing on, even while they seem to retard, the catastroplw, that t^
emlosity of the reader is always kept awake, and, instead of flag-
glng, grows more and more Impatient as the story advances, till
at last it becomes downright anxiety. And when we get to the

And thatof so many Incidents there should be so fewsuperQuous;
that in such a variety of fiction there shonld be so great a proba-
bility ; and that so complex a tale should be so pers^cuously con-
ducted, and with perfect unify of design."

WiUi reference to Dr. Beattie's introduction of the name
of Homer, we may remark that Lord Byron styles Fielding
the "Prooe Homer of human nature."

** In Ton Jones, bis greatest work, the artftil conduct of the

drasmy continuity of Bichardson."— S. T. Colkriinii: IMenarj/
JBenuiifu.

"Our popular novels are even translated Into Spanish. *Tom
JovieBi* indeed, has long been a fcvonrite in Spain. It may be re-
marked, thus the most intensely natural works acquire the hlgh-
aet reputation." — Uaktlkt OouRmoa.

** As a picture of manners, the novel of * Tom Jones' is Indeed
^tqnislta ; as a work of oonstmctlon, quite a wonder : the by-play
of wisdom : the power of observation, the multiplied fblicltons
tanm and thoughts, the varied character of the great Comic Epic,
keep the reader In a perpetual admiration and curiosity. But
•gmnst Hr. Thomas Jones himself we have a right to put In a
protest, and quarrel with the esteem the author evidently has for
that character. Charles Lamb says finely of Jones, that a single
hearty laugh from blm ' clears the air' — but that It is in a oertidn
state of the atmosphere."— TAodteray'i HtoMrittt tif ike IBth Otn-
tiay, a. V.

" His Tom Jones Is quite unrivalled In plot, and Is to be rivalled
<mly in his own works for felldtoua delineation of character." —
Ifaffocmf « MixeL WHtingt.

** In Tom Jones, Fielding has comprehended a larger variety of
taddenta and characters under a stricter unity of story than In
Joaeph Andrews; but be has given to the whole a tone of worldli-
naaa wUeh does not mar the dellghtfal slmplldty of the latter.
Aa an exprsadon of the power and breadth of bis mind, however.
U la altogether his greatest work ; and. In the union of dlstlnet
^etorlal representation with profbund knowledge of practical
Tub, Is nneqnalled by any novel in the language."— A>wzir P.
Whtppli: Asayt and Jieiwwt.

Dr. Johnson, in a conversation to be quoted hereafter^
declared:

" Sir, there Is more knowledge of the heart tai one letter of Eklb-
arAno'a than In ail Ton Jonas.**

Bnt Fielding's admirers do not oonoelTe this to hftro
been an impartial judgment We may properly eondude
oar citation of opinions of this remarkable work by the
eloquent tribute of a writer as highly disUnguiahed in the
field of historic inTOStigation as the author of Tom Jonee
was in the walks of fiction :

" The nobOlty of the Spenaers has been illastrated and enriched
by the trophies of Marlbwongfa, but I exhort them to cooalder the
Fa&r7 Queen as the most precious jewel of their coronet Our Im-
mortal Fielding was of the younger branch of the £arls of Den-
bigh, who drew th^r or^ln from the Counts of Uapsbnrg, the
lineal descendants of BHrico, In the seventh centuiy, Dukes of
Alsace. Far different have been the fortunes of the English and
Oerman divisions of the flimlly of Hapsburg. The fbrmer, the
knights and sheriffs of I«elceeter8hlr«, have slowly risen to the
dignity of a peerage; the latter, the Bmperors of Germany and
Kings of Spain, have threatened the liberty of the Old and In-
vaded the treiiRures of the New World- The successors of Charles
Y. may disdain their brethren of Kngland; but the romance of
' Tom Jones,' that exquisite picture of human manners, will out-
live the palaee of the Eseurial and the imperial eagle of Austria."

— QlBBON.

3. Amelia; published in 1751.

** In point of general excellence < Amelia' has commonly been
considered, no lees by critics, perhaps, than by the public, as deci-
dedly inferior to ' Tom Jones.' In vuiety and Invention It aaao-
rodly is so. Its chief merit depends less on Its mrttaX and dabo>
rate construction than on the Interestiug series It presents of
domestic paintings, drawn, as we have remarked, fW>m his own
fiunlly history. It has more pathos, more moral lessons, with fkr
less vigour and humour, than either of Its predecessors. But we
agree with Chalmers, that those who have seen much of the errors
and distresses of domestic lift will probably feel that the author's
colouring In this work Is more just, as wdl as more chaste, than
In any of his other novels. The appeals to the heart are flu* DMie
fbrclble." — Thomas Roscoi : Life ana Wbrkt ^ Htnry FUUUng.

With referenoe to Fieldhkg's having drawn from his do-
mestic faistoryj in the pages of Amelia, his celebrated kins-
woman, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, thus discourses in
a letter written shortiy before the death of the novelist:

" H. Fielding has given a true picture of himself and his first
wife In the diameters of Afr. and ifrs. Booih, some oompliments to
his own figure excepted ; and I am persuaded several of the Inci-
dents he mentions are real matters of fkct I wonder ho does not
perceive that 2bm Janet and Jfr. BoUh are sony sooundrels."—
LeOen and WbrH^ edited by Lord Whamdifft.

Lady Mary's remark relative to his figure may appro-
priately introduce a brief desoription of bis ontward man :

" With regard to bis personal appmranoe. Fielding was strongly
built robust, and In height rather exceeding six feet He was
also remarkably active, till repeated attacks at the gout had broken
down the vigour of a fine constitution. Naturally of a dignified
presence, he was equally Impressive In his tone and manner,
which, added to bis peculiarly marked ftatures, his conversational
powers, and rare wit, must have given blm a decided Infinenee In
general society, and not a little ascendency over the minds of com-
mon men."^TnoxA8 Roecos : Life and W>rki t^ Htnryf FitUting.

To return to"Amelia:"Richardson flattered himself that
this last publication would prove the death-knell of his
rival's fame; and he remarks, in a letter to his own enthu-
siastic admirer, Mrs. Donellan :

" Captain Booth, madam, has done his business. Hr. Fielding
has over-written himself, or rather under-written, and, in his own
journal, seems aahamod of his last piece, and baa promiited that
the same muse shall write no more for him. His piece, in short
Iff as dead as If It had been published forty years ago, as to sale.
Yon guess I have not read 'Amelia!' Indeed I have read but the
first volume.**

Yet Amelia met with immediate and great success :

** Fielding's Amelia was perhaps the only book of which, being
printed off betimes one morning, a new edition was called tar
before night."— Da. JoHiiaov.

We know that the stem moralist himself read the book
through without stopping, and

"Johnson appears to have been partieularly j>leaBed with tha
character of the beroluo of this novel, and said Fielding's Amelia
was the most pleasing heroine of all the romances." — MAiom.

** I admire the author of < Amelia,' and thuik the kind master
who Introduced me to that sweet and delightful coinpanion and
friend. Amelia, perhaps, Is not a bstter story than *lW Jones,'
but It has the better ethics; the prodigal repents, at least before
fbrglveneas; whereas, that odious, broad-backed Mr. Jones earrlee
off his beauty wltb scarce an Interval of remorse ftn- his mauilbld
errors and short-comings, and Is not half punished enough before
the great iwiie of fM-tune and love flUls to his share. I am annr
with Jones. Too mm^ of the plnuHxke and rewards of lUb fliU

surrenders without a proper sense of daoornm-— the fond, fboUsfa,
palpitating little creature I ■ * Indeed, Mr. Jones,' she says, ■ It rests
with you to appoint the day.' I suppose Sophia Is drawn fhmi the
life, as well as Amelia; and many a yonng fellow, no better than
Mr. Thomas Jones, has eanied, by a omp de Matf^ the heart of
many a kind girl who was a great deal too good for him."— TAoebs-

and eonsommate virtue, but hai exposed rice and meannaea
with all the powen of ridicule.** — Loao Ltttklton : ffuiUiauta of
OUDead. ^^' ^

Lord Lyttelton, aftar moDtioning some particnlara of
Pope, Swift, and other literary characters of that day, whan
Kelding*s name was pronoaneed, raniarked :

** Henr7 neldlag bad mote wit and bnmoor tiMn all the per-
sons we have been speaking of put together.**

Fielding[s early attempts at dramatic authorship were
greatly ridicoled by the wits then in the ascendant; and
Swift compares the young author, not in the most compli-
mentary manner in the world, with Wellsted^o "bright
partioular star :"

** For Instance, when yon mably think
Ko rhymer can with Wellsted sink.
His merits faalanc'd, you shall find
That Fielding leaves htau &r behind."

TTpon which Dr. Warton remarks :

'Little did Swift bnaglne that this veiy IMdlng would hei»
after equal bim In works of humour, and excel him In drawing
and supporting characters, and In the artftil conduct and phm of
a oemie epopee.*'

Few oritics hare been so sparing of their compliments
to oontemporaty writers as the great authority to he next
quoted:

"Monalenr de Marivanx, In France, and Heniy Fielding, In
England, stand tbe foremost among thoae wbo bave given a ftltb-
ftal and chaste copy of life and manners, and. by enriching their
romance with tbe best part of tbe comic art, may be aakl to have
brought It to perfection.** — Bishop Wabbdrtox.

"The genius of Cervantae was transfused Into the novels of
Fielding, who painted tbe charactera and ridiculed the Ibllles of
lue with equal strength, humour, and propriety."— Smollett.

Sir Walter Scott, whom we shall again hare occasion to
quote, thus combines the names of Fielding and Smollett:

" Smollett and Fielding were so eminently succeaattal as novel-
ists, that no other Kngllab author of that class has a right to be
mentioned In tbe same breath. We readily grant to Smollett an
equal rank with bis grant rival. Fielding— wblle we place botb fkr
above any of their succeeson In tbe same line of Bctltlous compo-
rilton. Perhaps no books ever written excited such peals of In.
mtlngnlshable latwhter aa tboae of gmolMt.**

" I go to Sterne fcr the feelings of nature ; Fielding (br Its vices ;
Johnson fcr a knowledge of the workings of Its powen ; and SlMka-
fsare tir every thing."— Abusetht.

<* The cultivated genius of Fielding entitles him to a high rank
among the ctesaics. His works exhibit a series of pictnraa drawn
with all the den^tlve Udellty of a Hognrtb. They are bigbly
entertaining, and wUl alwaya be reed with pleasun."— Z)r. Tuxri-
SHis Xnez'j fiuajn.

" Mr. Fielding's Novels are highly distinguished for their hn-
monr; a humour which. If not of the most raHned and delicate
kind. Is original, and peeullar to himself The charactera wblch
he draws ara lively and natural, and marked with the strokes of a
hold pendL The general scope of bb stories Is ftvourable to hu-
manity and goodness of heari."— Da. BLin: Lntura m Bkttaic
and BdUt-Ltttra.

" They are splendid emanatlans of art, and ariiitical, as the critic
Oeethe corrsclly expresses it. to the true sense of the word.'*

" Fielding will forever remain the delight of his country, and wUl
always retain bis place in the librarln of Kurope, notwitbstandtog
the unfortunate grossnaas,— the mark of an unrnltlvatad taste,—
which If not yet entirely eidnded IVom conversation, has been fbr
some time banished from onr writings, where, during tbe best age
of our national genlna. It prevailed more than In tboae of any other
polished nation."— Sra Jahss Macxittosb : Min. Km. xxv. 486.

The opinion of Fielding's celebrated kinswoman will in-
terest many readers :

" Fielding has really a (tand of true hnmonr, and waa to be pitied
at his Urst entrance Into the world, having no choice, as he said
mmeeH bnt to be a hackney-writer, or a hackney-coacbman. His
genius deaerved a better fete; bat I cannot llalp blaming that con-
ttnaed Indiscretion, to give It the softest name, that baa run through
UsIMls and I am afkald still ramslna. . . . Since I was bom, no

hy his necessities to paMlsb without correction, and throw many
pniuMoBt into the world he would have thrown to the llie, If
meat eonld bave been got wtthont money, or money without scrlb-
hUng. . . . Then was a great similitude between his TFIeldlng'sl
^araetar and that of Sir Klehard Steehk Re had the advantagi
both la learning and, in my opinion. In genius; they both agieed
la wanting money. In spite of all their frienda, and would have
wa^ed H If thefa- hereditary hinds had been as extensive as their
MS^nation; yet each of them waa so formed for happiness, it is
pity he was not ImmortaL . . . His [Fielding's] happy constitution
(even whasi he had with great pains half demotlshed It) made him
Jrgot every evil when he was before a venison pasty or over a
Bask ofebampagne; and I am pennaded he know mora happy
Hi?'™ than any prince upon earth. Bh natural spirits gave
pfea raptura with a eookmaid, and dieerndneaa when he was s&rr-
h>I to a garret.'*— LasT Mart WoaruT Mo^rrAos.

"This bock Itself, apart trom Its contents, is a poem. In paper,
type, edging, and ornament — in all the vartabls details of me
chanieal execution — It vindicates its title to be termed s work of
high art. The poems It contains are gems well worthy the setting,
— pure thought, genial foaling^ tender remembranoe, and lambent
fkncy. In natural measures and easy rhythm, — such poems aa
always win a higher fiime than they seek and are l>e«t appreciated
by moss whose verdict Is of the most slgnUlcant import"-^
Jv. Anur. Ba., clxxx., July, 1858.

Among his principal pieees are Commerce, read befor*
the Boston Mercantile Association on its anniversaiy in

Fields's style will he found In Griswold's Poets and Poetry

" Besides bis serious poems, be has produced some very original
nlKhfOl pieces, in which are aditdt touches of wit, falieltous hits
at enrtent fblUes, and Instaueea of quaint humour, laughing tbrouf^
prtan and decorous Unas, wbfcb evince a genius ibr eerj de $iielitl.
The poems Mr. Fields has given us are evidently the carelem pro.
dnets ofa singularly sensitive and IMils alad— Indications rather
than exponents of its powsrs furnishing evidence of a eapadly
which It la to be hoped the aDgagemsnts of bnaineas will not wholly
absorb."— (MstecM's ibsU rndPaUry of Amxriaa.

"Mr. Fields's visit was necessarily briar, but that short IntaniaW
bos laid the Ibnndation ofa IHendship which will, I think, last as
long as my ftall lib, and of which tbe benefit la all on my side.
He sends me charming letters, verses which are flut ripening into
true poetry, excellent boolcs; and this autumn be brought ba^

of all the klndneflsea with wMeb he loads me, I like his company

plication," printed in Gibber's Lives, and prefixed to an old
edit, of his works. Her poem upon the Spleen, pub. in
Oildon's Miscellany, 1701, 8vo, was, with several other of
her pieees, inserted by Dr. Birch in the Oeneral Biographi-
cal Dictionary, by permission of the Countess of Hertford,
who owned the originals.

" It Is remarkable that, excepting a passage or two in the Wind-

guised contempt:

" Belnfc destitute of means and moneTi he retired In private to
London, lived there by his wits, Ikvonred by bis pen the snceessfttl

tilted himself so much with the great men then In power, that be
did boeiage toy and bseane at length poet-laarsat (or. as he himself
used to say, scribbler) to Oliver, the pcoteetor of Kngland, a pre-
tendod lover of musicians and poets; but the nlggaidllness and
Incompetency of his reward shewed that he was a personated act
of greatncaa, and that private Cromwell did govern prince Oliver.

notorlonaly known, he could obtain nothing but what bis wits p«^
cured, lived always poor, as not knowing the true valoe of moD

debt, endured several years imprisonment in the Fleet, and be-
came the ohfect of charity. Ue had a very good command of the

The following remarka of M. Sigorgne, (171t-I809,)
Hember of the Sorbonne, and Frofeaaor of Pbiloaopby bi
the Univ. of Paria, are intereating in thia conneetton: ,

** With reapect to the primary plauets, the attmctloo of tfae ana
only la sofllaent to oblige them to describe elllpaea, bat aa they
ought alao to attimct each other, there was some room to apprehend
that the regularity of their motion might be thereby somewhat
disturbed. We ought, hnwerer, to take Sir laaae Newton's word
upon this head, adnoe we shall presently aee from what he baa done,
ttet there la no reaaoa to be In pain upon this aeoount Aoeordlng
to his ofaaerration, bodies attract each other in a direct proportion '
of the quantitleaof matter they contain, and the ronverse propor-
tion of the squares of tiieir dlstanoea, and ie this proportion it la
that the planeta aOMt each other. Now If the Newtonian PhUoao-
phy he true, there i« a certain metlMd of knowing the quantity of
matter in the planeta, and eooseqnently of ealeniating the Ibree of
their Impraaalona; snch a calculation beiug made. It sppeara that
Mars, our Earth, Venus, and Mercury, attract each other so little
in proportion to the foroe with which they are attracted by the sun,
that the diaorder ariaing ikon thenee moat be altogether Imper-
eeptible In mainr raTolutions; and hence there appears a wonder-
ftil agreement between the principles of thia plitlaaophy and the
phsBuomeua. But thia agreement appears still more clearly in what
napnens with reepeet to Jupiter and Saturn; the quantity of mat-
ter In Jupiter la so great, that the ealenlatlon demonatiates the
eliacts of its attraction upon Saturn ought to be rery sensible in
the time of their eonJnnetlaiL Sir Isaac Newton predicted thia to
tile Astronomera Flamateed and Ualley, but the former of theee '
great men gare no credit at all to that prediction. Hcwerer, the '

Flatmaa, Thomas, 163.^1672, • ostira of London,
educated at Oxford, waa skilled in law, painting, and
poetry. A collection of poems, entitled Virtaa Rediriva,
fte., by T. F., pnb. in 1680, may be his, but Wood will net
alBrm it In addition to minor piaeaa of hia in Terse and
prose, pub. separately, there appeared in 1874, '88, Svo,
a oolleotion of hia poems and songs ; also pub. 1678, '82,
'86. He compoaad Pindaric Odea on the death of tlia
Duke of Albemarle, tba Earl of Oaaory, Prince Rnpert,
and Charles IL For that on the Earl of Osaoty, the
Duke of Ormond, his father, preaanted the author wilh a
diamond ring worth £100. Granger does not ralae his
Pindarica very highly:

" Flatman rvally excelled as sn artist : a man must want sen
ibr harmony that can admire hia poetry, and even want eyes that
can oeaae to admire his painting. It does our author sosne boeoor
that Mr. Pope has very eloeely copied aavenl of hia verses, in Us
ode of ■ The Dying Chrlstbn to his 8ouL' . . . Some of his taste-
leaa eontemporerlea thought Idm equally excellent In both; but
one of his heads Is worth a ream of bla Pindarics; X had alflsoat
aald all the Pindarics written In this reign. His works an ex-
tremely scarce." — Biog. HUt. of Mug.

Oldya, in the following epigram, refers to tha three faanl-
ties in which he waa akilled,vix.: Law, Painting, and Poaliy:
" Should Flatman Ibr hia client strain the iMin,
The painter glvea some eolonr to the eanae;
Bhonld critica censure what the Poet wri^
The pleader quite him at the bar of wit"
Charles Cotton hig^y aommandi FUtman's poeos and
songa.

" thaae with Ibrea are writ,

.ia fbU of ainewy strength as well aa wit"
It appeara from the following bit of gossip of old .Anr
ihony Wood — ^who dearly lovaa a aly joke— that Master
Flatman, like many bachelors of modam times, somatimas
amnaad himself with ridicnling tha eonnubial happinasi
which he afterwards gladly ambraoad :

"This neraon waa In hia younger daya mnab agalnat manlan
to the dialike of bla bther, and made a song deaoribing the cnaa-
brancas with it beginning thua :

< Like a dog with a bottle ty'd close to hia Uil,

FlaxmaB, Joha, 1756-1828, an eminent Bnglish
Mulptor, was a native of York, but at an earl j age remored
to London with hla fttther, a manufaoturer of platter caati.
A* a boy, much of hie time «a« oeonpied in making mo-
dels in clay, which evinced a remarkable genius for the
art in which he afterwards i>eoame so eminent. In 1787
he visited Some, where, dnring a residence of seven years,
be executed his eelebrated designs in ontline fVom Homer,
Aachylos, and Dante. The three series were engraved for
bim by Piroli. The designs from the Iliad and Odyssey
were made for Hr. Hare Naylor; those fh>m Dante for
Hrs. Thomas Hope ; and those from ^sehylns for the lata
Countess Spencer. The Homer was pub. is 17B3, 4to;
again, with addit. plates, 1806, 2 vols. foL ; the .£sehylu8
In 1796 ; again, 1831, fol. ; Dante in 1807, ob. fol. ; Hesiod
'^4nade after his return to Snglaod, 1817, ob. foL There
have been Italian, French, and German eds., of which we
notice especially the (Euvres de Flaxman, par M. Nitot,
Dufresne, Paris, 1823, which oontuns the Homer, JSt-
sbylus, and Hesiod, with text Whilst at Rome, he also
•zecntad for the late Earl of Bristol his magnificent group,
representing the Fury of Athamas, fVom Ovid's Metamor-
phoses, consisting of four figures larger than life. For
this he reoeived a sum insoffioent to defray the eost —
£800. This group is preserved at lokworth, the seat of
the Barl of Bristol, in Suffolk. At this period also he

Jrodnoed his"Cephalus and Aurora," for Mr. Hope. In
794 he returned to England, and commenced the monu-
ment to Lord Mansfield, now in Westminster Abbey, for
which he had received an order before ha left Rome. For
this he was paid £2600. Among his other works may l>e
mentioned tna monument to Lord Nelson, the figure of
Sir Joshua Reynolds, the monument to the Aunily of Sir
Yranois Baring, in Mioheldean Chureh, Satan and Mi-
ehael, for Lord Egremont, the monument to Collins, the
poet, in Chichester Cathedral, the monument to Hist
Cromwell, to Barl Howe, to Warren Hastings, to Lord
•nd Lady Palmerston, and the beaotiful design of The
Bhield of Achilles, (See Homer's Iliad, Book xviii.) for
Messrs. Bundell and Bridge. For this last he reoeived
£820, and four oasts of it were taken in silver gilt, each
estimated at £2000. This is one of his greatest prodnetlons.

by him at the Royal Academy, illustrated by 62 plates,
appeared in 1829. Now od., with addits., and an Address
on the Death of Flaxman, 1838, Svo. We have already
lingered over the memory of this eminent sculptor for a
greater length of time than oan well be justified in a Die-
tionary of Literature, but cannot conclude without record-
ing some tributes from eminent authorities to the merits
of one who has been denominated by judges of no con-
temptible authority — including even Canova hiueelf — the
greatest sculptor of modem times.

**The creatoet of modem senlpton was our ninstrlous country-
man, John FlaxBian. Ha not only had all the line feeling of the
anciant Greaka, (which Canova In a degree poaaeand,) but united
to It a lesJInew of lavenUM and a aimplleity of daaign truly aato-
Blslilng. Though Omova waa bis superior In the manual part,
kkh OaWdag, yet In the higher qnallUaa, poetleal kaling, and In-
Teotioo, naxman waa as superior to Oanova as Shakapeare to the
diamatists of his day." — Six RiCBias WxsTauorr.

« Flaxman waa one of the Ibw — the very few — who confer real
aiHl pemniiaat glory on the oonntry to wnleb thay belong. Hla
(anioa waa of that vaat and lofty nature which la beyond tlw r«arb
ef cnnnaiy or lausadlnta appradatloB, and wbldi grows gradually
■Dd Imuaieeptlbly on tbs aatlmatlon of mankind. Hla nnaqnalled
oMopoalckHia from Haaer, Xaehylns, and Haalod, have long bean
tba admiration of Europe. Of their aimplleity and beauty the pen
Is quite Incapable of conveying an adequate hnpraaalon. . . . Not
•van In Balwala have the gentler feelloga and sorows of human
Baton baas tmead with mora toochtng patboa than In the varioua
designs and models of tblaeatlmable man." — Sir Thomas Lawrxrob.

* Flaxnuin baa tnnilattd Dante beat, for he haa translated It into
Ike nnlvaraal language of nature." — lAXD Btkox.

'*T1m ptogeny of Flaxman's pencil and chisel were of tba hlfcheat
mnk: there la a prodiglona afflnenoe of Imagine ticsi In all hla
akatchaa and drawloga."^— Aujix Cunkihsbui.

Ai Ui. (^umingham wa« equally at bom* in the Fine

Arts and In letUrs, we qaote hia opinion of nazmia'i L«e-
tores:

"Theee Lacturea, aa Ularaiy eompcaklooa, eontalahlg a elear
and oommandlng view of aeolptnre* andant and modem — abun-
dant in Juat sentlmenta and wlae remarks, and such proAiafdonal

^But we have seen that the only one who could complain
of Flaxman having the first post assigned to him among
modem sculptors had consented to the verdict that places
him in this proud position. We give his own words :

" Ton come to Rome, and admire my worka, while yon ppaaflss.

Mr. Fletcher is the author of several other works.

Fletcher, of Saltoon, Scotland, filled several political posts
of importanee, and was distinguished for his republican
leal. Ha pub. disoourses on the Affairs of SooUand, on

Works was pub., Lon., 1722, Svo; eds. in 1782, '37, 8vo;
eiasg., 1749, 12rao.

"A isahius aasaiar of the liberties of the people."

This work contains two disooanes oonoeming the alfain
of Scotland, written in 1693.

•• The indignities and oppression Seotland lay under galled Um
to the heart, so that in his uamad and elaborate dleconraes he e»
posed them with undaunted courage and pathetic eloqnance.".—

LOGKBAST.

An Essay on his Life and Writings was pub. by the Earl
of Bnchan. See BtrcBAS, David. Sea Chambers's Lives
of Dlust and Dist Scotsmen. A notice of his Works will
bo found in the Retrosp. Rev., iv. 100-116.

"Be was by h* the most nerrous and correct speaksr In the
parilament ofSeotland, Ibr he drew his style from the pure models
of antlqalty, and netftem the gioaeei praetloa] oratory of his ocm-
tempecarles; so that bis speeches will bear a oompaiieon with the
bast speeehas of the reign of Queen Anne^ the Augustan sge of
Great Britain."— Easl or Boohah.

" He was alwvs an admirer of both ancient and modem repub-

lics, but showed a sincere and honest Inclination towards the
honour and interest of his country." — LocxHaxT.
A contemporary writer applauds him as
«A gentleman steady In his principles, of nice honour, with
abundaaoe of learning; brave as the sword be weers^ and bold as
a lion— a sure fyiend, and an irreconcilable enemy — would lose
his lift readily to eerre his country, and would not do a base thing
to nve it"

The sentiment of the last clause is admirable, and pre-
sents an honourable contrast to the foolish and wicked
maxim of "Our conntiy right or wrong." Heaven is
always in the right; and when my oountry is wrong, I lack
either principle or oourage if I refuse or fear to condemn
her. The eternal distinotion between right and wrong is
older than my country and holier than my prejudices.

It is in a Letter to the Marquis of Montrose, Ac, en-
titled. An Aoeount of a Conversation, Ac, Edin., 1704, 8vo,

the Earl of Chatham :

IkUacious.' If a reader should take it up, (as would probablj be
the case with thoee ignorant of Its naturs,) with tlie expectstion
of finding some delightful stoiy of tomantle llctioa, what most be
his disappointment to plunge at onoe Into an anatomical lecture
in reroe on the human ftame— to find that the poet bad toned
topographer of an island founded upon bUDian faonee, with nins
for Its tnonsand small brooks, and arteries for Its larger streami;
and that the mountains and ralleyB with whlcb it U direnlfled
are neither mora nor leas than th* Inequalities and nodnlatioBS of
thia microcosm i He might perhape peraavese throogh the whole

only made one quarter of the snrrey, he must of neceaslty be oca-
strained to Uiy It down In deepalr.'— i2e<n>q). Bm., IL H2, IMD.

But if he should thas " lay it down in despair," he would
be greatly the loser : for — to quote one of the most emi-

" After deacrlUng the body, be proceeds to parsonHV tbe paadons

In a svparluity of gbuing colours, and tha ssveral chsnctera, hi
general, ^ no maana snOdantly kept i^rt; yet, amid such a
proftislon of Images, many are dlrangulsfaed by a boldnees of out-
line, a majesty of manner, a brlUlancy of colouring, a dietinctaees
and piopriety of attribute, and an air of life, that we look for in
vain In modem productions, and that rival, If not surpase, what
we meet with of tbe kind even in Spenser, fraaa whom our aatbor
caught hla inspiration. After exerting hia creative powera on thia
department at the subject, the virtues and bettor qualities of the
heart, under their leader Kolecta, or Intellect, are attacked by the
vtoSB ; a battle ensues, and the latter are vanquished, after a rlgor-
ona oppoaltton, through the Interference of an angel, who appeara
at tbe prayer of JEeleete. Tbe poet here abrupUy tekea an oppo^

Wood tells ua that at King's College I>hineaa Fletcher
was " accounted an excellent poet ;" and good old Isaalt
Waltou paid him a twofold compliment, than which he
knew no higher, when he declared him to be

*'Au excellent divine and an excellent angler.**

The brothers refer to each other's works, and their merits
have often been compared. See Fletcher, Oiles. It
would not be difficult to continue these comparisons, but
a few lines must conolnde an article already saffleiently
extended :

"They were both the disdpiss of Spenser, and, with h!s diction
gently modernised, retained much of his melody and luxuriant
•ipreaslon. Giles's 'Christ's Tietoiy and Triumph' has a tone of
enthusiasm peenllarly B<4emn. Phlneaa, with a livelier Ihney, had
a worse taste. He lavished on a bad suttfeet the graces and Inga*
Bulty that would have made a flne poem on a good design. . . .
These Incongruous eonceptions are clothed In banaony, and Intei^
speraed with beautlfill thoughts: but natural sentiments and
agreeable Imagery will not incorporate with tbe shapeless features
Of such a design. They stand apart tima it Ilka tbloKS of a differ-
ent element, and, when they occur, only expoos Its defbrmlty.
On the eontiaiy, In the biotbar's poem of'^' Christ's Trlomph,' its
main effeet, though somewhat sombrous, is not msrred by sudi
repulsive contrasts. Its beauties, therefore, will tell in relieving
tedium, and recondllng us to deftcts." — Oumpbdlt RtglUh Bxlry.

"Both of these brothers are deeerrlng of much praise. They
wen endowed with minds eminently poetical, and not Inferior In
InaglnatlaD to any of their contemporaries; but an Injodlcioas
taate, and an exeeaslTe (badness Ibr a style which the public was
npidly abandoning— that of allegorical personlScatlon — prevented
their powers from being eOlKtually displayed."— Zrotiam'i Lit. Bill.

"It grierel me to tbink," says Hervey, "fhst theae pieces
[Christ's TIcton and the Purple IsUnd] should be loat to the

" The character of Holofemea, howarer, while It caricatures the

Foote, Samnel, 1722-1777, "The SnglUh Ariste-
phanes," a native of Truro, Cornwall, was of a highly re-
spectable family. After pursuing his studies at Worcester
Coll., Oxf., and at the Middle Temple, he want upon the
stage, where, not meeting with the success he desired, ha
determined to turn dramatic author, and write pieces salted
to bis capacities as an actor. In 1747 he opened The
Little Theatre in the Haymarket, with a piece of his owa,
called The Diversions of the Horning, which was very
sucoessfuL We need not msirvel at this when we eonsidsr
that he represented real characters, and imiteted their
voice, gait, and gestorea, in the most striking msnner.
Thenceforth the Little Theatre, Haymarket, was under-
stood to be the regular summer resort when the other two
theatres .were dosed.

tion— taken fVom Biog. Dramat. — twenty were jmb. 1. An

' Foote was tui mneb famed for his nnmerons powers in
social life as he was on the stajge. Of this we have an
amusing evidence in the following story, related by Dr.
Johnson:

" The Arst time I was In eompany with lywte was at Htsher-
bert's. Having no good cqiinian of the fellow, I was resolved not
to be pleased : and It is very dUBcult to please a man against his
will. I went on eating my dinner pretty sullenly, affecting not
to mind hhn ; but the dog was so very cotnlcal, that I was obliged
to lay down my knife and ferk, throw myselr back in my dutt,
and tdrly Ungh It out Sir, be was Imsiatlble."
Boswell remarks:

" Foote told me that Johnson said of Um, * Vor load, oIjsIii|IO
rous, broad-faced mirth, I know not his equal.'"

It is not difficult to guess at the secret of Foote's saceesi
with Johnson:

" He [Foote] was, perhaps, the only man among the set, totally
Independent of Johnson's monarchy; he bad an Tatr^M wit sad
pleanntry of his own, and was ftarleas of any eoUoqnIal antag»

Ford, John, an eminent dramatio poet, was ham at
Islington, Devonsliire, in 1588. Of the time of his death
much has been eoi^ectared, but nothing is known. Where
be was eduoalad does not appear, but we know that in
1602 he beoame a member of the Middle Temple, and,
anlike most authors, and especially dramatie authors,
persevered in his arduous profession. What partioalar
branch of the law be pursuod we are unable at this late
day to determine. As early as his 18th year he pub. a
poem entitled Fame's Memorial, a tribute to the memory
of Charles Blount, Lord Monntjoy and Earl of Devon-
shire. There was little in this effusion to indioato i^tare
•minenee in the walks of poetry; but the publication of his
▼arses was suffleient to give him that taste for authorship
whieh almost infallibly follows upon seeing " one's name
In print :"

** Varna's Memorial la worth reading as a warning to all thoae
flfore^aatere who prognoetlcate the snceeea or fliilnre of authors

nate fWm the Seven Hitla more draadad edkts than his owa." —

Some time after this he had the honour of assisting
Webster in A Lata Murther of the Sonne upon the Mother,
a play whieh appears to be lost He also joined witli
Decker in the Fairy Knight and The Bristowe Merchant,
neither of which are extant Wealso lack three of Ford's
plays, entered on the Stationers' Books in 1680, (see Nos.

A little manual, entitled A Line of Life, pointing at the
immortalitie of a vertnous name, 1620, 1 2ino, written by a
John Ford, has been attributed to our author. A collective
edit of Ford's Dramatio Works, with an Introduction and
explanatory Notes by H. Weber, Esq., was pub., Lon., 1811,
2 vols. 8va. A notice of this edit, and of the charactsra
of Ford, fay Lord'Jelfrey, will be found in the Edin. Rev.,
X. 275, 304, and another by William Qiiford in the Quart
Rev., vi. 482-487. Also see A Letter to William Oifford,
Esq., on a late Edition of Ford's Plays, chiefly as relating
to Ben Jonson, [in which it is proved that Jonson ana
Ford were not hostile;] by Octavius Gilchrist, 1811, 8vo.
A Letter to J. P. Kemble, Esq., involving Strictures on a
recent Edition of Ford's Dramatio Works, 1811, Sro, and
a letter on the same subject addressed to Richard Helwr,
Esq., 1812, 8vo. Mr. Qifford, in the critique referred to
above, complains of the meagreneas of Weber's biogra-
phioal account of his author, remarking that

"It would surely be unjust to appear dissatisfied at the Impet^
Act account of an andeut author when all the sources of Inlbrma-
tlon have been Industriously explored. But In the preaent case we
doubt whether Mr. Weber can safely 'lay this flattering noetlon
to his aoul ;' and we shall therefore give such a sketch of the poet'a
llfi>, as an attentive examination of his writings has enabled oa to
eompile.''

Mr. Oifford proceeds to show that Weber was as Atnlty
an editor as he was a biographer. We need not, therefore,
be surprised that he determined himself to assume those
duties which had been so inadequately performed by an-
other. Uis edition of Ford's Works appeared in 1827, 2
vols. 8vo. It is acknowledged to be far superior to Uie
preceding edition. In 1847 Mr. Togg pub. Ford's Works
in the Dramatio Series of the Family Library, being Nos.
4 and 5, 18mo, of that series. How heartily we approve
of Mr. Tegg's expurgated editions of the dramatio poeta
may be gathered from our remarks in the article on Beau-
mont and Fletcher, where we refer to Mr. Moxon's editions
of the same authors. In this latter series, Tho Works of
Massinger and Ford were pub, in one volume in 1848. In
the power of graphic representations of the tragic, the
terrible, and equally in the molting and the pathetic, Ford
has few equals. It is greatly lo be deplored that his taste
was as bad as bis genius was splendid, and that his lioen-
tiuusness disgusts even whilst his imagination charms.
The revolting subjects selected for his best dramas — Tha
Broken Heart, Love's Sacrifice, and Tis Pity She's a
Whore— show a determination to excite attention even if
he failed to command respect, and to surprise the mind
rather than improve the heart For this great error of
cfauice and treatment of subjects, he had not even the in-
valid excuse — pleaded for some in his day— of importunate
creditors and atraitness of bread :

"When be had outgrown the vanities of his youth, and eata-
Mlabed hlnaeir in busiasas, he oaten tatioualy dladalned all view
to pioftt In hia writing and appeared on the stage or In print od^
at Irregular Intervals. He bad, and look time, to write up to hu
own Ideal. Re diaowaed all courtablp of the vulcar taste; we
might theretbra suppose that the horrible stories which he has em-
biaerd in Tla Pity She's a Wbore, Tlw Broken Heart and Love's
Bacrifloe, ware hia own choice and his own taste. But It would be
uafiilr flnom hence to conclude that he delighted In the contem-
platton of viee and misery, aa vice and mlaery. He delighted In
the- aensatloB of Intelleetiial power; he found hlmaelf strong In the
lauiglnatlon of crime aol of agooy ; bis morel sense was gretlfled
by Indignation at the dark possibilities of aln, by compasrion for
nre extremes of suflsring. lie sbliorred vlee — he admired virtue ;
but ordinary vice or modem virtue were, to him, as light wine to
a drem drinker. Hia genlua was a telescope. III adapted for neigh-
bouring obfecta, but powerful to bring within the aphere cf vision
what nature has wlsMy placed at an unsoriable distance. . . . Ua-
quesllooably he displayed grvat pMeer In these borvora, which was
all he desired; but had he been 'of tha fint order* of poets, ha
would have found and displayed superior power In fanlUar mattcv
of to-day. In fiilllnga to whkh all are liable, virtues which all may
practise, and sorrows for which all may be better.'' — Baxtixx

Ford in a mneli lower rank tlian the " first order of poeta."
He remnrka :

"Rerenlng tlie obaerratlon of Dryden on Bhakspeare, it may be
tafcl of ford, that he ■ wrote Uborionaly, not luckUy :' alwaya ele-
gant, often alerated, nerer sublime, ha aeoomplkhad by patient
and careful indnatry what Bhakspeare and fletcliar prodaced try
tha apontanaoua exuberance of natire geniua. He seems to hare
acquired early tai lilb, and to hare retained to the laat, a softnaas
of TeniUcatkin peculiar to himself. Without the maieetle marsh
of Terse which distinguishes the poetry of Hasslnger, and irith
none of that playhil gaiety which eharactariiaa the dkilogne of
HetclMr, he la still eaay and harmonlona. There ia, IwweTsr, a
BOBOtony in bis poetry, which tboae who hare paroaad Ua acenea
long together must hare Ineritably peroeirad. Ula dlalogne ia
declamatory and hnnal, and wanta that quick chace of replicaUon
and raJolnder so necessary to aOaet In rapreaentation.''— WIUUM
Sirroas : ^wir. Jtt*., tL 476.

In Lord JaBnj't review, before referred to, on the merit*
and demerila of Ford, he quotea sbnndantl; in illaatration
of hia eritioiama :

"We cannot aliord any mora spacolbr Mr.ford; and what we
liaTe said, and what we bare shown of hkn, will probably be
tbonght eoongh, both by those who are diapoaed to scoff, and thoas
who are inclined to admire. It ia but Ikir, iwwerer, to intimate,
that a thorough nemaal of bis works will aBbrd more exercise to
the ftmner dispoaltlon than tlie latter. His Iholts are glaring and
abundant; bat we bara not thought it neeeaaazr to produce any
apadmena of tlMm, becauae thay are exactly the sort of Iknlta
whfcta erety one acquainted with the drama of that age reckons
upon finding. Nobodr doubts of the existence of such fiiulta:
bnt there are many who doubt of the existence of any conn tar-
balancing beantlea: and therefore it aeemed worth while to say a
word or two in thak explanatkin."— JUin. Bm., xrllL 304.

We eannot pomade oBnelrea to oonclude — for we have
already lingered long enongh on this tbann — withoat quot-
ing the jndioiou criticiaai of one of the flrat of modem
•tttbors:

** At a eonaiderable diatanee below Maasinger we may place hia
contemporary, John Ford. In the choice of tragic su^ecta from
obacure actk>na which hare to us the charm of entire norelty, thay
naemble each other; bnt In the conduct of tlwlr ikble, in the da-
Unaalion of their ehaiactera, each of tkeae poeta haa his dlsttai-

dUBcnlt to aaeonnt for, than the deep and laatlng hnpreaalOD made

(Bteriag into mny datailcd dlieiMiton of th« mattor, for
which we hare neither apace nor inclination, we may be
ezoised for the exprenion of the opinion that Mr. Prior
greatly magnilted hia grieraneea, if indeed any exialad,
of which we are by no meana persuaded. Perbnpa Mr.
Venter ahoald iiave been rather more libenl in aoknow-

poly of facta, by whonuoerer diacorered, which hare be-
eome itema of enrrent knowledge, ia aorely nntenable.

at-Law; in 1441, King's Seijeont-at-Law ; and in 1442
Chief Jnstiee of the King's Bench. He stood high in fa-
vour with Henry VI., and when that monarch was obliged
to tek* refaga In Saotiand, Fortesoua clung to his fallen

fortanea. It was probably at this tima Henry anatadUa
Chaaoellor of England. In 1463 ha aooomponied Queea
Margaret, Prince Edward, and a nnmber of the adhersats
of the House of Laacaater, to Handers, where he remaued
many years. Whilst thns in exile, he eompoaad his eels-
liratad work entitled Da lAodibns Legnm Anglic, srith a
Tiaw to the future gnidaoee of Prinee Heniy, if he sbosld
ever raocfa the throne. The youg prinee was ent olT by
the hand of the mnrderer in the flower of his days, bat tbs
De Landibus Legnm Anglia has snrvired many thrones,
and is still resorted to as a fonntain of inestimable wisdom.
Fortasene returned to England srith Quean Margaret and
Prince Edward, and was taken prisoner after the tattle
of Shrewsbury, in 1471. He was pardoned by King Ed-
ward, retracted a paper he had written against the elains
of the House of York, and lived the rest of his days ia
learned retirement at Ebbnrton, in Gloneestetshira. In
addition to tiie work notioed above, be left many Latin
tracts, (MS8.,) and an English trtetise, entitled The Dif-
ference Ixtween an Alisoluta and Limited Monarchy, ss it
mote particularly regards the English Constitution. This
was pub. in 1714, Svo, with Bemarks by the author's de-
scendant, John Fortescne Aland- It proves and enlarges
upon the superior degree of liberty possessed by the Eng-
lish over the French. It was probably written after Ds
Landibns, Ac., as the anthor does not quote it in the latter
work. See Oldys's Brit Lib., 250-254. The De Landibns
Legnm Angliss was first printed by Whitohnroh, n'« aaso,
bat in the early part of the reign of Henry VIIL In \l\t,
12mo, a trans, into English, made by Rolwrt Mnlcaster,
was given to the world. Reprinted 1507, '73, '75, '78, '»«,
1S09, with Hengham's Snmma Magna et Parva, and Notes
by Selden on De Landibns, Ac, 1618, '60, 72. Mulcaster,
the translator, says, in his dedication to John Walshe :

" It hapoed me ofUte to light upon thia little Tieatise. which I
Incontinent deeirad to mnne oner, because It SBauad to discourse
upon some points .of the law of our oountrie whereof I myself than
was and am now a student When I had ouerrunne It and bs*
cause I wished all men to hane part of my delight, methought it
good is traiHlate It Into £ngllah forth of Latlne."

Trans, into English, Ulostntad with the Notes of Mr.
Selden, and a great variety of Remarks with respect to the
Antiq., Hist, and Laws of Eng. ; to which are added the
Summn of Hengham, by J. Glanvill, 1737, fuL; 2d ed., 174L
New ed., including Selden's Notes and Hengham's Summss,
with a large Hist. Pref. by Francis Gregor, 1775, Svo.
The notes and references in this ed. are more ample than is
any of the preceding eds., and the tzans. is more accurate.
The lost ed. of Fortescne is by A. Amos, Camb., 1825, 8vo.
The trans, is the same as Qregor's :

" Professor Amos judldooaly rstalned same of the notes of fcnasr
editions, but ftr the moat part added new onaa, which are leia
copious than Gngor'a Professor Amos discharged the ofliceof
Annotator with ablltty and moderation." — i^irvui's Ltg. Bibi, f.
V. for a reference to authorities subjoined.

In 1663, fol., Mr. E. Waterhoose pub. Fortasentns Illns-
tratus ; or, A Comment on that Nervous Treatise, De Lan-
dibns Legum Anglia. For Hargrave's opinion of this
work see Watxrhodse, E. The merits of Da Landibns
Legnm Anglia are unquestionable ; and, as we have already
stated, its authority has lost nothing by the lapse of time:

Perhaps no preacher ever maintained an enthusiastic

Savage declared there was none to be named with him.

Lord Bolingbroke noticed the popular favoorita after his
own fashion, by ascribing to him, but erroneously, it is said,
the absurd saying, often quoted by shallow dispntanta,
" Where mysteiy begins, religion ends^'

But it has been remarked that^

" Whatever his personal virtues and popular talents, he neither

care of a mannfacturer, who soon discovered that bis stu-

Discharged fVom a distasteful employment, he determined
to study for the ministry, and entered the Baptist College
at Bristol, where he soon gained distinction by intellectual
abilities. In 1792 he commenced preaching, and officiated
, among the Baptists at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Dublin, Chi-
chester, Downend, near Bristol, and Frome, in Somerset-
' shire, in succession. Obliged by a glandular affection of
! the neck to discontinue preaching, be retired to Stapleton,
near Bristol, and here be devoted himself to literary rom-
' position, for which few bare been so well qualified. He
' was tbe principal contributor to the Eclectic Review, and

To these many other works might be added; sneh as
. Wraxall's Memoirs, Willwrforoe's Life, Ac, but our list ia
sufficiently long for most readers. In addition to the
Speeches, Aa ^ready referred to, Mr. Fox is the author
of some jurenile Latin and Greek compositions, some
piecea in the New Foundling Hospital for Wit, an Eaaay
on Wind, of which 50 copies were prirately printed, political
pamphlets, the 14tb, ICdi, and perhaps some other numbera
of the " Engliahman," pub. in 1779, and a History of the
Barly Part of the Reign of James II., pub. in 1808, 4to,
by hia nephew. Lord Holland. This is an nnfiniahed pro-
daetion, written with great aconiacy, but with such phara-
taical pnnotiliouaneas of style, that the absence of the
Ji^rum eopia variorum of Cicero ia painfully felt

^ He once aiaured ma, a^jn Lord Holland, that he would admit
no word Into hia book Ibr which he had not the autliori^ of
DiTden."

Thia remark r«minda ns of the elegant, the traly olassi-
eal, compliment paid by Mr. Preacott to Washington Irving
in the Preface to the History of Ferdinand and Isabella.
The eloquent historian, who has performed his task in that
masterly manner which forbids all regret at the selection
of his theme, remarks that had Mr. Irving persevered in
a design onoe entertained by him of occupying the same
jponnd, he should have abandoned the field,

''If not ftom coartaey, at laaat from polley : Ibr, thonjch armed
with the weapona of Achillea, thia could give me no hopt of auo*
aaea In a competltiatt with Aehllln himaelf."

Had Dryden's Tooabulary been at the command of the
historian of the Reign of Jamea IL, we should still hare
lacked the magical charm which captivates the reader of
the Eaaay on Dramatic Poeay. We may truly apply to
Um what he declares of Shakapeare :

"Drydeo'a magic coxUd not copied be,
Within that circle none dont walk but he."

In the Hoosa of Commona, indeed. Fox eonld diaplay
the force and beauties of the Engliah tongue in a manner
whieh Diyden would have gladly copied ; but he needed
the ezoitement of apposition or the stimulns of immediata
applanse, and sank in the socket when there was no one to
admire his brilliancy. Dr. Parr, whose admiration of Fox
was excessive, and who would have commended the his-
tory of Tom Thumb, if recorded by the leader of the New
Whiga, ia glad to have a legitimate ocoaaion for the ax-
presaion of his devout veneration.

" Nothing," aaya he, referring to Poz'a History of Jamea n.,
"eaa exoaad hia anxloaa endeavour lo dlacovsr the truth of beta

Yet the work elicited Some Obaervationa, by the Rt Hon.

The octavo size, for which Dibdin, the Blbliamanise,
sighed, can now be obtained. Fox's History was psh. in
an octavo voL by Boguo of London, in 1846, bound with
Armand Carrel'a Revolution in England; again, 1S54. See
Carrel, Arh ahd.

A copy of the elephant quarto sisa wat illustrated by Uia
late Mr. Gray of Harringay Park, at an expense of H
guineas. It iabound in 2 vola. 4to. It fell into the hands
of Mr. H. G. Bohn of Leadon, who offered it at the trifliag
price of £8 8a.

Thia article is already longer than wa can well ym&tj,
yet we feel unwilling to conclude without quoting a few
lines of tribute to the eloquence of this great orator. Thii
subject is ably treated by our learned and excellent corre-
spondent. Dr. C. A. Goodrich, in his admirable worli, already
referred to, entitled Select British Eloquence. In thii
volume, which should be in every collection of any pre-
tensions, will also be found six of Mr. Fox's best spoeehei.
Undoubtedly Fox owed much of his sncceas as an orator
to the most careful and elaborate cultivation of his grrat
natural geniua. Ho proposed to himself, as the first object
of life, oratorical distinction ; and by gradual ascents he at
length reached the summit We by no meant rank him
with Pitt in vigour, or with Burke in fervour ; but in prompt-
ness, lucidity, and fulness. Fox knew no superior.

Burke describes him exactly, in those graphic linei
which excited the bitter indignation of meddling, pompom
little Dr. Parr:

"I knew him wben he waa nineteen; since which time ha has
riaen by alow degraea to be the moot brilliant and aecompllaha<
debater the world ever aaw."

Thia ia it : he was a brilliant and aaoomplished debater.
He had on ordinary occasions far greater power over his
auditors than either of his great contemporaries and rivsli.
He lacked the moral elevation and the commanding iway
of Pitt, but he knew better how to touch the passiona Ha
had less philosophy than Burke, but he posseaaed far mora
tact In the knowledge of euin he waa infbrior to either,
but in the knowledge of men he left both ihr in the rear.
Their respeotire influence over their auditors illnntrated
our distinction. When Pitt thnndered his anathemas,
they hung their heads with confusion; when Burke ex-
horted them by their love of virtue and truth, they were
half persuaded to make an alliance with virtue ; bat when
Fox arose, ftill of blandishments of roiee and manner,
and instructed and amused them by toms, they forgot
their terror and their repentano^ and gare him their hesrti
and their votes.

The disenssion of the question, how ftr the eloqaeste
of Fox may properly be compared with the ancient model,
to which doubtless he laboured to conform his styK ^**
elicited opinions so oontradictory, from two great critict,
that we may well decline to enter the lists.

Dr. Franklin, a close observer of men and manners, was
most favourably impressed with the appearance of sincerity
and warmth which pervaded bis whole character. In a
letter to David Hartley, dated "Fassy, Sth Sept, 1783,"
lie remarks :

But alas 1 that period never arrived ; s great man and
an eloquent orator Fox certainly was ; but to that highest
title whieh ean be proposed to man's loftiest ambition — a
«00B ir AH — ^the great Knglish statesman could lay no claim.

Two articles on Fox, by the Rt. Hon. John Hookham
Ttmn, will be found in the Lon. Qnar. Rev,, ii. 376, and

We have referred to Dr. Parr's enthusiastic admiration
for Mr. Fox. We quote an amusing exemplification :

Fox, George, 1824-1690, the fonndor of the Society
of Friends or Quakers, waa a native of Drayton, Leices-
tershire, where hia father followed the occupation of a
wearer. George was bound apprentice to a shoemaker
and grasier, and, whilst engaged in tending his sheep, en-
Joyed those opportunities for undisturbed meditation
which resulted in the formation of that eharaetar of solid

four yean later he became an itinerant preacher, re-
buking sharply whatever he deemed woruiy of repre-
hension, and often " holding forth," without Invitation, to
congregations assembled for regular service. These
" breaches of the peace" led to frequent imprisonments,
involving great hardships and privations, which were
patiently submitted to by one who was always ready to
lay down his life in defence of what he believed to be the
truth. About 1669 he was married to Margaret Fell, the
widow of Thomas Fell, a Wolsh Judge. It will not be
expected that we should follow him in his arduous and
unremitting efforts for the benefit of his fellow-beings.
The reader will find ample sources of information in the
works indicated below. In the course of his public minis-
trations he twice visited the continent, spent two years in
assiduous labours among the American colonies, and rsb-
peatedly visited different portions of Great Britain. He
died in London in 1690, continuing his public addresses
until within a few days of his death. A list of bis separate
publications will be found in Bibl. Brit His writings were
published in three vols, fol., vis. : 1. Journal of his Life.

8 vols. 8vo. See Sowel's Hist of the Quakers; Neal's
Puritans; Roes's Cyclopssdia ; Jonah Marsh's Life of Fox,

tations on his Views concerning the Doctrines, Testimonies,
and Diseipline of the Christian Church, Phila., 1853, 8vo.

Fox's Journal is a volume of great interest, and has
been highly commended even by those who felt little sym-
pathy for the author's religious peculiarities.

" It la one of the most extraordinary and Instractlve narratlvoa
In the world; which no reader of competent Judgment can peruse

have quoted, in the article referred to, William Penn'a
opinion of Robert Barclay, and it is but fitting that we
should record the testimony of the same eminent authority

Fox, or Foxe, John, IS17-li87, the Hartjrolonit,
• native of Boston, Lincolnshire, was educated at Bra-
Venose Coll., Ozf., where he attained great distinction hy
hl( extraordinary acquisitions. His lore of atndy be re-
tained after he had left college ; for we are assnied by his
son that before he was thirty years of age he bad read
OTer all the Qreek and Latin fathers, the schoolmen, and
the proceedings of oounoils and consistories. He receired
the degree of B.A. in 1538, and in 1643 was elected Fellow
of Magdalen College. In 1545 he was accused of heresy,
and, boldly proclaiming bis opinions to be in faronr of the
Protestant Reformation, he was expelled from his college.
After supporting himself for some time as a tutor in the
family of Sir Thomas Lucy, of Warwickshire, and subse-
quently in the household of the Duke of Norfolk, he found
himself in danger from the vigilance of Gardiner, and
•scaped with difficulty to the continenL He here medi-
tated his great work — the Acts and Monuments of the
Oharch, or Book of Martyrs. The first draft of It was an
oetavo volnme, pub. at Strasbourg, 1554, in Latin, entitled,
Commentarii rerum in Ecclesin Qestarum, maximarum-
qne per totem Europam persecutionem i Wiclavi teinpori-
bus ad banc usque setatam descriptarum ; in one book.
Reprinted, with 5 other books, at Basil, 1559, foL On
the accession of Elizabeth he returned home, was pen-
sioned by his former pupil, now fourth Duke of Norfolk,
and through Secretary Cecil received a prelwnd in the
Chnreh of Balisbnry. No office in the church would hare
been thought too good for him, bad be been willing to
forget scruples to which he adhered with self-denying per-
tinoeity. He refused to subscribe to some of the canons,
•nd boldly petitioned the Queen on behalf of the Oerman
Anabaptists. He spent the rest of his days in great esteem
for his profound learning, sincere piety, and unfeigned
hnmility, and died, amidst the blessings of the nation, in
1587, in his 70th year. He pnb. a number of theolog.
treatises, tables of Grammar, the Latin play of De

Mn give nothing more to the purpose than the following

bibliographer, who, having instmeted our grandfather* in
Us youth, continues in his advaneed age to enlighten their
desoendonte with the results of his pains-taking researches.
It would indeed be diBenlt to estimate the value of this
gentleman's thirty-five yean' service in the British Hilienm.

"A new edition, mperlntenlecl by the R«t. 8. A. Oittln, M.A.,

All the other so-called Foze's Book of Martyrs, edited
Mapectively by Milner, Buckley, Pratt, Clarke, CobbU,
Camming, Kennedy, Seymour, Mrs. Tonna, or any one
•Is*, are merely abridgments,— of more or less value. The
ftrst abridgment^ by Rev. Timothy Bright, M.D., (j.».,)

pub. in liSI, and agtin in 1589, 4t«, if new a fm
book, bnt is little valued. We have already refcned
under the appropriain head to the Rev. Dr. Thomss
Bray's Hartyrology, or Papal Ilsnrpation and Perssea-
tion, 1712, fol., intmided as a supplement to 111* Acts mk
Monuments.

The Acts and Monuments received the approbatioa of
the first three Archbishops of the Reformed Church of
England, vis. : Parker, Grindal, (who assisted Fox in tlie
woric,) and WhitgifU It was ordered to be set up in every
one of the parish churches la England, as well as in dis
eoramon halls of arehbishopa, bishops, deans, orehdeaeeos,
and heads uf colleges ; and its inflnene* in keeping alive
the Protestant feeling in Grsat Britain and North Ameriea
is too well known to be disputed.

Without entering at large into the merits of the woik,
It certainly would appear that, as regards oonseientionssen
of performance and adherence to records, the fUthftalness
of the Book of Martyrs cannot intelligendy be questioned.
For the same reason — abundant testimony — that we l>e-
lieve Sir Thomas More, the Roman Catholic Choneellor,
to have been one of the best of men, do we believe John
Fox, the Prot*stant chronioler, to hava b**n on* of the
most veracious of historians. As regards the credit aeem-
ing to their respeetira eommuaisns fin>B th* odltennee of
these two great men, it is to b* remembered that Mot*
simply retainod the bias of edneation and habit, whilst
Fox had to overeome both of these before he could be a
Protestant. Both were honest as the sun; and had Sir
Thomas More presented ui with Roman CaUiolie Actiand
Monuments as well attested as those of John Fox, w*
should have oonsidered them entitled to equal eredeaea.
It has been confidently declared that

"All the popish writan fnm UarpaflaU to Milner hava net
proved, and It neverwill be proved, that John foxisastoaesf
the moat flilthftil and authentleofall Ustorians."

The testimony of the two eminent authorities snljoiaed
must have great weight with those who can appreciate the
value of evidence :

*'Mr. Fox must not go wilhout the eommendation of a moat
painful aeaniherlnto rocorda, arrhivMi, and repoaltorlesof c«4;;1ntl
acta and lett«ra of state, and a great colloctor of MS3. All the
world la Infinitely beholden to bim for abundance of extracts
tbence communicated to us In his volumea. And aa he hath
been fi>und moat diligent, ao moat atrictly true and hithnil In his
trananiptiona." — Srarpa: AmiaU<tf tht K^fitrmatim.

'• Mr. Fox hath very dUlnntly and tUthfbUy laboured in thh
matter, [of Archblsfaops and Metropolitans,] and searched ont the
truth of It aa learnadly aa 1 know* any man lo bava done.'*—
ABCHaiSRor Whitout, after he " bad read over his Acta and UosD'
mcnta irom the one end to the oUmt." See Detuice of the Anawar
to the Admonition, p. 333.

The great Camden thus refers to the Hortyrologist and
bis work :

■■ Ex eradltorum nnmero ObUt Jdiannes FOzus Oxonlrasis, <!<
Eceleslastlcam Anglfae Hiatoriam aive MartyrologiaDi Indelbiao
veritaila atndto, primom latlne postea anglloa auctina, magna earn
laude eontexuit."— .lOmalea S<aa6eM, pTtU, edIL 8to.

Bishop Bnme^ a most pains-taking searcher into origi-
nal papers, thus sets his seal to Fox's conscientiousness as
a historian :

■■ Having eomparad tlieae Acts and Monnments with the neoda
I have never been able to discover any erton or prararicatloBa ta
them, but the ntmoat fidelity and ezaetaaas."— iW- *» ^>*' ^
the He/ormatiim,

But faithfulness in a historian is one thing; Infallibility
is quite another thing; and we doabt not at ail that, as
Wood and Collier among Protestants, and many Roisaa
Catholic commentators, affirm. Fox hao, without any inten-
tion to deoeive, admitted exaggerations, and even soeie-
times fictions, which diminish the vain*, whilst they add
to the bulk, of a book of great learning, reaearcb, and his-
torioal as well as theological value.

But for erities, who lived long after th* historian and
th* historian's opportnnitias, to prstend to know th* coa-
tants of raoords which they never saw, is a little more thaa
absurd: it is foolish and impertinnnt, and plaees ths
offender b«yond the lines of polite and intelligent eooln-
versy. Undoubtedly John Fox was not an infallible chie-
nicler nor a perfect man ; and if any modem Qnixot* sssk
for a religionist withont s*al, an advoeat* without parti-
alities, a partisan withont pr^udioe, and a man withoat
Eassions, he must needs go altogether oat of the world 6*
is Phwnlx.

It is much to be said of any man. In the absence of iH
perfection, which is recorded by Fuller of our historiaa:

"Although the richest mitre In Kngland would have countad
ilaalf prefcrrad by being placed upon hta head, he eonlaBlcd bl>
self with a prebend of gallabniy. How learnedly he wrote, be*
sonaUnUy lis preached, how piously he lived, and ho* ebrefftUr
he died, may be aeen at lorn In the IM- nrafixed to Us boak."—

Francis, John W., M.D., LL.D., one of the most dis-
tinguished of American physicians and men of letters, h.
1780, in the oitjr of New Tork, is the son of Melchior
ITraneis, a native of Oermany, who settled in America
aiwat 1784. The subject of this memoir enjoyed as a
youth the learned preoeptorship of Qeorge Strebeck and
John Conroy, distinguished for their attainments in the
elassioal and mathematical departments. In 1809 he gra-
. duated at Columbia College, from which in 1812 be re-
ceived the degree of Master of Arts. In 1807, whilst still
an under-graduate, he commenced the study of medicine
under the eye of the celebrated Dr. Hosaok, and gained
the warm approbation of his discriminating tutor by his
anidaoiu davotion to the object of his pursuit

"During the period of his prolfaasional studies Ibr four collegiate
years, he never abeented himself f)t>m a single lecture, nor attended
one without making notes or abatraeta on tile snl^Ject taught by
the lecturer."

What an example is this to the students of the present
day, and how great has been the reward, in large itorvs of
professional erudition, in public esteem, and national rapn-
tatioD, of tha hours thus devoted to the acquisition of nsa-
ftil knowledge I

In 1811 the labqrions student raeeived from the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of N. Tork, organized in 1807,
tha degree of M.D. ; and, a few months later, received from
Us old preceptor. Dr. Hosaok, the offer of a co-partnership
in business. This flattering offer was indeed the highest
eomplimant that could be paid to the talents and acquire-
ments of the young physician, and was of course accepted.
Tha oonnaotion thus formed lasted until 1820. In 1813
Dr. Francis was appointed leoturar on the Institutes of
Hedioina and Materia Medioa in the College of Physicians
and Surganns of New York, and laboured with great seal
in tha diicharga of his arduous duties. Anxious to trans-
plant to his native soil whatever was valuable in the re-
nowned medioal achools of Europo, he left home fbr a tour
in Scotland, Ireland, Holland, and Franca, and derived
prolltabia themes of madilation and praotioa fkvm the
friendly oonversa of tha celebrated Qrcgory, Jamieson,
McCarthy, Denon, Qall, Cuviar, and other benefactors

of tha laiaDee and amdilion of their raaa. The ardent
thirst for knowledge, tha aontanaes of perception, and
breadth of comprehension, which distinguished the yonng
American, did not escape the notioa nor fail to elicit the
approbation of his distinguisfaad Buropaan friends.

'• A mind more anient In the ponnit of useful knowtedge,"
writes the bite I>atriek C<aquhottn, ••perhaps naver existed; and
I have no doubt he will. In a tiw years, stand at the head o( hli
profession." See Lib of Kddy, by S. L. Koapp.

Upon the return of the young traveller to New Tork, he
was appointed Professor of the Institutes of Medicine ia
tha CoUaga of Physicians and Surgeons ; and, on the death
of Dr. Stringham in I8I7, succeeded that gentleman in the
department of Medical Jurisprudence. Two years later
ha became Professor of Obstetrics, in addition to his farmer
duties, and held this appointment until 1826, when he re-
signed at the same time with his coUaagaes, Drs. Hoaacl^
Uott, MoNevin, and Mitchill.

A majority of the professors who had resigned from tha
College of Physicians and Surgeons organiied a new in-
stitution under the name of Rutgers Medical College, and
its success was so great that at the and of four terms tin
Legislatare eloaad the doors of the last-named institution.
In the Rutgers Medical College Dr. Francis was chosen
Professor of Obstetrics and Forensic Medicine, and hii
elaasea wen crowded with student* from different parts of
tha lepublio, attracted by his great and growing reputa-
tion. For other particulars connected \ii& tha life of this
eminent physician, nsefbl oilisen, and public benefaslor
in many senses, we must refer the reader to the source to

Francis, Sir PliUip> 1740-1818, son of the preced-
ing, was a native of Dublin, and educated under the eye
of his father, and at St. Paul's School, London. After
Tiaiting Portugal in 1760, in company with Lord Kinnoul,
the British Envoy, and holding a clerkship in the War
(HEee, whieh he resigned in 1772, he went in 1774 to India,
where he became a member of tho council of Bengal.
Brought into contact with that disgrace to tho British
name — that man of violence and Mood — Warren Hastings,
Francis opposed his measures, end a controversy ensncd
which resulted in a duel, in which the latter was wounded.
He returned to England in 1781, was chosen M. P. for
Tannonth, Isle of Wight, in 1784, received the order of the
Bath in 1800, and died in 1818. He pnb. a number of
Bolitleal Speeches, Remarks on the defence of Warren
Haaiiags, Letters on the E. India Company, Reflections
•n the Currency, Ac, 1784-1814. These were but of tem-
porary interest, and are now forgotten ; but the name of
Sir Philip Francis will always occupy a prominent place
among literary men, in consequence of the persuasion en-
tertained by many that he was the author of the famous
Lkttbrs or JoHiDS. But this is by no means a settled
point, and we think that the claims put forward on behalf
of Sir Philip Francis are now less readily allowed than
they were some twelve or fifteen years pasL Wa do not,
however, by this remark intend to express any opinion of
oar own upon the subject We shall best discharge our
duty by indicating to the reader the sources of information

lifan from sohool whan onlj ton yean of age, and wt the
Aiture philosopher to work at "enttiBg wieki for the
eandles, fllliog the monldi for eaat esndlas, attending the
■hop, going of errands," Ae.

If we at flrat feel inclined to blame the btber for eo
■oon depriring hia son of the benefits of sdiooUng, we mmt
remember that the good tallow-chandler was straitened in
oirenmstanees, and had the ezpenditares of a large family
to provide fsr from a buinees probably inoapable of moch
profitable extension.

Bis ocenpation wes extremely distaslefbl to him, and he
felt a strong inclination to exchange it for the roring life
of a sailor, bnt paternal prudence prerented the consum-
mation of this projects His father allowed the youth to
abandon a trade for which he erinced so strong an arar-
iion, and bonnd him apprentice to his brother James, who
had miently (in 1717) retnraed from London, and esta-
blished a prinUng-olBee in Boston. Tonng Franklin soon
became an adept in his new business, and doubtless was
stimulated by the nature of his duties to that lore for
leading which remained with him through life.

Among bis faTonrite works were The Pilgrim's Pro-
gress, Plutarch's Lives, Burton's Historical Collections,
an odd volnme of The Spectator, and Cotton Mather's
Sssays to do Qood. The perasal of this last work had so
great an elTect upon his future life that we shall be excused
for quoting firom a letter from Dr. Franklin, written after
he had attained great eminence, to a son of Cotton Mather :

"When I was a boy, I met a book entltlad Isssjs to do Oood,
which I think was written by your Iktbar. It bad been so little
renrded by Its tbrmsr poesesaor that sererml lesTcsof U were torn
ODt, but the remainder gsva me sneb a turn of thinking, as to
hsTe an Infloenes upon my oonduct thionffb life ; Ibr 1 harve always
set a greater valne on the ebaraeter of a doer of good tlian eny
other kind of rspatatkm : and if I bare been, as yoa leem to tblnk,
a UHrtil dtlien, the pnbUc owes all the adrantage of It to that
book*

We may remark, as a comment to the abore, that the
first edit, of the Bssays to do Oood was pub. in 1710, 12mo.
In 1807, 12mo, it was repnb. by the Rer. Qeorge Burder,
who detracted greatly fW>m its ralueby making such altora-
tioos in the style as he thought would "render it more
agreeable to a modem reader," — changing " many quaint
and obsolete words and phrases for others more intelligible
•ad pleasant." This is as intolerable as the modem rer-
llons of Chancer and Spenser. Carrying out this bright
idea, Mr. Burder fikTOurs ns with no less than three hun-
dred "improTemente*'on the flrat eighteen pages! Bnt
we are happy to stoto that the Massachusetts 8. School
Society have recently (Boston, 184S, 18mo) issued an exact
reprint of the original ; the latter is now so scarce that a
oopy was recently sold in Boston for six dollars. The new
edit it pub. at a low price, and should be circulated by
tboDsancIs and tens of thousands through the land. If the
whole of the seed thus sown shall produce bnt one more
Tkakkliii, the expenditure will be richly repaid.

But to return to the subject of our memoir. Among
young Franklin's first literary efforto were some specimens
of ballad poetry, which he printed, and sold himself in the
streets of Boston :

** One was called nt L^/M-Bimie Tragedjr, and contained an ae-
eonnt of the shipwreck of Captain Worthllake with hie two dsngh-
tare; the other waa a sailor's song, on the taking of the fiimons
Tsacb, or Btadiitard the pirate. They were wretched staff, In
street-ballad style; and when they were printed, my farotber sent
me about the town to sell them. The first sold jpredlskmaly, the
erent being recent, and baring made a greet noise. This snocees
flattered my ranlty; but my fctber dlacooraged me by critldBlng
my perfcrmancee, and telling me Terse-maVers were generally beg-
gm. Tbos I seceped being a poet, and probably a very bad one?'
—AtdobioffMfkjf,

The antoUograpby tram which we have qnotad is, or
•hould be, ftmUiar to all of onr readers, and a repetition
will not be expected here. To this work, and to Dr. Jared
Bparks's continuation of his Life, We most refbr the reader
for interestiog particulars connected with the career of
this extraordinary man and his important ooatribntions
to human knowledge. A rapid summary of the principal
iDoidenta in hIa life is all that onr space will allow. In
172S, disgnatad with the oontinned severity of his brother's
teeatment of him, be removed to Philadelphia, where
be obtained employment with a printer named Keimer,
and devoted himialf to his business with great indnstry
and intelligence. Haring made the acquaintance of Sir
William Keith, then Oovemor of Pennsylvania, he en-
•ouraged him to establish a printing-oSee fbr himselC As
his iathar did not seeond this proposal, Sir William sent
hia to London in 1724 to select the proper stock for a small
printing-establishment. Unable to aooomplisb the object
of his visit, he worked at hia trade in London for about

two years, and then retnraed to Philadelphia. Itwaswhilsi
still in London, in 1TS&, that be pub. A Dissertation on Li-
berty and Necessi^, Fleaanre and PUn. This essay in-
trodnoed him to the aoqnaintaace of Mandeville, the tathoi
of The Fable of the Been. It is not to ba denbted that
intimacies with Bngiish fk«etblnken at this period, and
with Freneb deists and atheists at a later stage of bia life,
did much to engender those latitudinariaa sentiments opoa
religions snbjecte which Franklin is known to have sntsr-
tained. The essay on Liberty and Necessity, 4c. is not Is
be found in any edition of Franklin's Works. When Dr.
Sparks, in 1840, pub. his edit., this essay was supposed to
be lost; bnt a copy has since been discovered in EoglaDd.
See (London) Notes and Queries No. 114, Jan. S, 18i3;
Dnyckincks' Cyc of Amer. Lit In 1727 he entered into
partnership with a person named Meredith, and two yean
later wrote and published an anonymons pamphlet on the
Natare and Necessity of Paper Currency; which wss ths
cause of an issue of bills amounting to eighty tbonsasd
pounds. In the same year he purchased from Keiner the
Pennsylvania Gazette, the 1st No. of which bears date Dec.
24, 1728. Franklin and Meredith's first issue was No. 40.
Through the columns of this Jonraal, and by the agency
of the Junto — a club established by him on his retnra
fivm London — the enterprising printer now eootrolled
political influence to no contemptible extent In 1730
he waa married to his old acquaintance, Mrs. Rogers, for-
merly Miss Bead, who had haen destrted by bar husband;
and in the same year he founded the pablie libraiy in
Philadelphia. In 1732 he first pub. Poor Richard's Abaa-
nac, which had a great run. — ^in several oasea an annual
sale of 10,000 copies — for 2S yean. Franklin was now a
prominent member of the oonunnni^, and in 17JM was
chosen Clerk of the Provincial Assembly; in 17S7 be be-
came deputy postmastar at Philadelphia; and in 1753
Postmaster-Qeneral for British America. la 1 741 he pub.
The Qeneral Magaaine and Historical Chronicle for all ths
British Plantations in America; in 1742 he invented what
is still called The Franklin Stove; in the next year he
originated The American Philoaophical Society; in 1749
be had the great satisfhction of establishing in Phihuisl-
phia an institution of learning, which, in the maturity of
its age and fame, as the University of Pennsylvania, hss
conferred hononr of the most substantial kind upon ths
country at large; in 1762 he was njoioed at the demon-
stration of the truth of his theory of the identity of li^t-
ning with electrieity; in 17&4 he sat as a delegate in the
Congress of Commissioners of the Colonies convened at
Albany,in expectationofamptarewithFraaee; thevalae
of his suggestions in this aasembly, respeoting srtiolsa
of union between the colonies, is well known to the stodeat
of early Aiserican history. Nor must we omit to mentioa,
among the services nndered by Franklin at this period,
the important aid which he nnderad to Btaddock at the
moment of extreme need. In 17i( we find Franklin ooB-
manding in person on the fh>ntier, and ready to eodnte
any hardships or perils which the nature of his dnties
might impose. From 17S7 to 17S2 ha spent in Bagbwd,
as agent for Pennsylvania, (he waa aomplimentad by the
degree of Doctor of Laws, conferred by tlie Universitisa af
Edinburgh, Oxford, and St Andrew's, and chosen Fellow
of the Royal Society,) and in 1784 again visited Bnglaad,
with a petition for a change in the charter. Whilst ia
Oreat Britain, he was not forgetful of the intareets of the
aolonies at large, and it was doabtlass greatly owing to the
effect produced by his celebrated examiiwtlon before the
Pariiament in 17tS that the obaexions Stamp Aet was
repealed.

When the difficulties between Qreat Britain and bar
colonies had been aggravated to a state of open hostility,
Franklin was elected a member of the American Congress^
and, after signing the Deelaration of Independence, wss
appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to France, when he
arrived in December, 1778. His saeeeea ia anlisting ths
sympathies and substantial assistance of the Franeh peo-
ple in behalf of the American colonies is well known. He
retoned to Pbiladelphta, September 14, 1785, at which
period he had attained the advanced age of 80 years, sad
was received with the enthusiastic acclamations of a gnte-
ftal nation. From the original letter in the valuable ool-
lection of our esteemed friend, (}eorge P. Putnam, of New
York, we copy the following testimonial to the palriotis
■crvioes of the indiridnal to whom it Is addressed:

He flUad the digniflad offioa of Praeldent of th« Com-
monwealth of PannsylTWiU fVoin 1785 to 1788, and in
1787 sat with Waahington and Hamilton in the Federal
Convention which fHmed the Constitntion of the Vniled
Btates. His last public act was to sign his name, as Pre-
sident of the Abolition Society, to a memorial to Congress,
and the last paper which he composed was on the same
rabjact. He died of a disease of the lungs, after a short
UlDeas^ on the I7th of April, 17M.

We hnTO already referred to the religions opinions of
this eminent philosopher as "latitndinarian," and we know
not tlial we eonld hare selected a better word. Nothing
eaa be fairer, in this connexion, than to quote his own
words, in a letter to Dr. Stiles, dated March 9, 1790, but a
flaw weeks before his death :

*■ As to Jeans of Naaareth, my c|ilnloD of wbon ron partlenlarlj
deaira, I think the system oT morals and his relLffcm, as he left
fliiiw la us, the heat the world eier saw, or is Ukelj to sea; but I
appraband It has reeelTed rarious oormptlng changes; and I haTe^
with moat of the present dissenters in Kugland, some doubts ss to
bis dlTinlty."

" It mar not be nnneoeasary to remark, that if we may credit
Dr. Priestley, Dr. Franklin was not correct in Mtimatlng the senti-
asnts of a m^rlty of the dissenters in fngland."— Passmiin

When Thomas Paine proposed to pnUish hts infamous
Age of Reason, Franklin wrote to him,

••I woald adrlae von not to attempt nnehalning the tiger, but
to bom thia plsee betnre it Is seen by any other person. If men
an ao wicked wM rellfian, wtaat would they be without It?"

A notice, howcTer enraoiy, of the religions opinions of
Baijjamin Franklin, would be hardly Just if it omitted to
notice a memorable declaration made by him, on an august
oeeadoa, of his profound belief in the orerruling proTi-
danoe of Almighty Ood.

His ealabrated speech in the Convention for forming a
Constitution for the United States, when supporting his
motion for proriding daily prayer in the Coavention, was
in thesa words:

'In the bsflnalng of the contest with Britain, «*at «ss wtn

His death was sincerely mourned both in Europe and
America.

laboon in behalf of freedom, in the striking line written
b7 him under Franklin's portrait:

" Kilpult eoslo fulmen, sceytmaqne tyiannls."

Ail the world, even kings, flocked to see them, and ntired
fbll of admiration." They were tested with eminent soe-
cess by U. de Lax, in Paris, by H. Becearia, in Turin, bj
Richmann, in Russia, and by philosophers in various coun-
tries. Professor Richmann, as if to rabnke his temerity,
was struck dead, in the midst of his investigations, by the
formidafalo element which be had chosen for a plaything.
The 4th edit, of his letters and papers on electriuity, en-
larged by essays on various philosophical suly ecti>, appeared
in 1769, 4to. This edit., and the ith, which was pub. Ave
years later, is supposed by Dr. Sparks to have received
some degree of attention from the author, who was then
in London. Translations of his writings were made into
Latin, French, Italian, and Oerman, and appeared in va-
rious parts of Europe. In 1772 H. Dubonrg made a new
collection of Franklin's writings, including some not be-
fore printed, and pub. them at Paris, i vols. 4to. In 1779
another collection was pnb. in London, consisting of Po-
litical, Miscellaneous, and Philosophical Pieces. These,
few of which were in print before, wen edited by Beitja-
min Vaagban, an intimate friend and comspondent of the
author. In 1787 a selection from the above edits, was pub.
in a thin 8vo.

In 1793 then appeared in London what is called The
Works of Dr. Fnnklin, in S vols. ; in 1798 a selection of
his pieces was pub. in Paris, S vols. 8vo ; and in 1 SOS an
edition, superintended by a Mr. Marshall, was issued in Lon-

He never could be caught, In short, acting absurdly, or writing
nonsensically : at all times, and In every thing he undertook, the
vigour of an nnderetanding at once original and practical was
distinctly peroelvabla.

*^ But it must not be suroosed that his writings are devoid of
ornament or amusement The latter especially atwunds in almost

unllbrmly help in the purpoee In hand, of which neither writer nor

admirable temper, or the happy turn of his InTeetlgatlon. . . .
Upon the whole, we look upon the lUb and writings of Dr. Pranklln
as aHording a striking Illustration of the Inealcnlable value of a
■oond and weU-dlreeisd understanding, and of the comparative
nselessoess of learning and laboHons aocompllshmenta Without
the slightest pretensions (o the character of a scbokir or man of
science, be has extended the bounds of human knowledgo on a
variety of subjects, which scholars and men of aclenoe bad prevl-
ooaly investigated without success ; and has only been found de-
fldeut la thoae studies which the learned have generally turned
from In disdain. We would not be understood to say any thing
In disparagement of scholarship and sdeiice; but the value of these
Instruments Is apt to be overrated by their poesrssors ; and It is a
wholesome mortlflcatlon to shew them that the work may be done
without them. We have long known that their employment does
not Insure ita success."— Loan Jxmn: SUh. Bet- vUL 337-344 :

These last refleotions of Lord Jelfrey hardly reqnire •
•erious answer. It were as wise to say that the American
Indian, whose native talent enables him to fashion his
eanoe with a mde flint, eould not make a better eanoe,
•od sooner despatch his work, with the steel aza and the
sharp tools used by hla civilised neighbour. Had Franklin
heen an ednoated man, doubtless be wonld have been
enabled to add larger eontributiona to the stock of human
knowledge than those which have immortaliied hla name.

Franklin, Sir John, an eminent navigator, b. 1784>
at Spilsby, Lincolnshire, entered the Royal Navy aa a
midshipman in 1800, waa present at the battle of Trafal-
gar in 180S and the battle of New Orieana in 1814, and
was selected in 1819 to head an ezpedition overland from
Hndaon'a Bay to the Arctic Oeean. After enooanleriag
great hardships, and very frequently at the point of death
from hunger and fatigue, he reached home in October,
1822. In the next year he waa married to Miss Pordeo.
See Frankliit, Elearor Ann. In 1825 he submitted to
Lord Bathurst " a plan for an expedition overland, to the
month of the Maekensie river, and thence by sea, to the
N. West extremity of America, with the combined object
also, of surveying the coast between the Maekensie and
Copper Mine rivers."

This proposition waa accepted, and, to anperintend the
expedition, he embarked at Liverpool, Febmary 18, 1825,
after the "severe struggle of taking leave of hia wib^
whose death, then hourly expected, took place alz dayf
afler his departure."

After encountering great hardships, the moving maaaaa
of ice forced the heroic sailors to retrace their steps, Sep-
tember 1, 1827, Captain Franklin arrived at Liverpool,
married a second time in November of the following year,
and in 1829 received the honour of knighthood. The per-
severing seal of Lady Franklin in atimnlating the ssareh
for Sir John, for ten years past, ia well known to the
world. He was greatly disappointed at his unsuceassfnl
attempts to accomplish the object of his voyages ; remade-
ing, with reference to his compulsory return in 1827:

** It was with no ordinary pain that I could now bring ssyaslf
even to think of rellnqulvhing the great object of my amblnoa,
[the disoovery of a North West passage fVom the AtUntle to tbs
Fadflc Ocean, I and of disappointing the flattering hopes wbirh bad
been reposed in my exertions. But I bad higher duties to pedbrm
than the grmtlflcation of my own feelings, and a mature oonalderm.
Hon of all things (breed me to the conclusion that we had isarhed
that point beyond which perseveraooe wonld be fsahnusa aad tbs
best etTorta would be fruiUesa."

The Montreal Gaietta of Sept 11, 1822, remarks:

"It appears that the tolls and sutrerlngs of the ezpedithm ban
been of the most trying description, and that If they do not ex-
ceed belief; they were at least of such a nature as almost to over-
come tbe stoutest heart, and deter all future attempts of a sfaailsr
tendency.**

But this writer little knew the iron stuff of which Sir
John Franklin waa made.

On the 20th of May, 1845, Sir John atartad upon a third
ezpedition, in two shipa, the Erebus and Terror ; he waa
heard from on the 28tli of July of the same year, and
passed hia first winter in a cove between Cape Riley and
Beechey laland. Since that period, many ezpeditions
from England and America have been despatched in aeareh
of the aidventurer, but it waa not until November, 1854,
that newa reached England which leavea little doubt that
the whole party perished in the winter of 1850-51. Sea

eLtred that Uiey had died of atarration.

By a euriooa coinoideaee, on the day that we an pen- j
aisg this article, (Oot II, 18U,) the last expedition — aent
■peeially in leanh of Dr. Kane and hi> party — which aailed
Crom New York in Jane, 1866, haa arrived at home. The
•zploran bring with them Dr. Eana and all of hia com- '
pany aare three—* carpenter, a cook, and a aeaman, loat
by death. The nmaindar of the party an mon or leaa
frost-bitten. Of the laat expedition — the ateamer (pro- i

Caller) Arctic, LieuL Sinima, and the barque Releaae,
ieut. Hartatene— the Antic (LienL Hartatene waa on
board) made ita way north to lat. 78° 32', when it waa '
■topped by the ice. The Advance, Sr. Kane's veaael, had
been puahed aa far north as possible, (see " Geographical I
Beeulta," below,) when she was froien in, and of course '
had to be aliandoned. The ship's company wen found by
the Antic and Release on the island of Disco. They have
been absent (ram home since Hay 31, 1853, and an n- 1
eeived with gnat njoioings. They have made several .
important discoveries, and added largely to oar knowledge \
of the inhospitable ngion the perils and discomforts of I
which they have so bnvely enconntend. Fram a state-
meat in the New York Tribune of Oct. 12, 185J>, we extract
the following riaamt of the results of Dr. Kane's last voy- I
age. For an account of his former explorationa, «ee hia
work noticed at the end of this article.

*■ I. Oreanlaod baa been ttUowad and charted by Dr. Kane to-
ward the Atlantfo with a coast-line pointing due north, until a
atnpendona glacier absolutely efaeckea Uielr proftrosa. This mum |

a DOW DOrtheni land. Thia glader la, we believe, the largest ever
diaeovered by any navigator.

**1I. This new land thus cemented to Greenland by protruding
lee waa named Washington. The large bay which intervenea be-
tween It and Greenland bean the name or Mr. Peabody of Baltl-
BMre, one of the pndectora of the expedition. This Icy connection of
the Old and New ^orld seems to us a fiiatnreof romantic Interest.

** 111. The range of the sledfeioarneys may be understood from
the tart that the entire drenlt of Smith Sound haa been elTacied
and its ffboraa completely charted. But the reel discovery of the
ex|>edltlon Is the open Polar sea. The channel leading to these
waters waa entirely flree from Ice; and this mysterious feature was
rendered the more remarkable by tlie existeuoe of a bell of eolld
ice extending one hundred and twenty-five miles to the sooth-
ward. This sea verifies the views of Dr. Kane aa expressed to the
Oeogtaphleal Bodety before his departure. The lashings of the
snrf against the frosen beach of Ice was impresdre beyond deeerlp-
tloo. flevetal gentlemen with whom we have oonversed speek of
the matter aa one of peculiar interest. An area of three thousand
square miles has been seen, entirely free fhm lea This channel
bu been named after the Hon. J. P. Kennedy, late Secretary of the
United States Navy, under whose auspices the expedition was un-
dertaken.

"IT. The lend to the north and west of this channel haa been
rbarted as high as »3° 30'. This Is the nearest land to the Pole
yet known. It bears the naase of Mr. Henry Qrlnnell, the (bunder
of tin entsrprlss.''

Harrey's Commendation — In his Fonre Letters and cer-
tains Sonnets — classes him in good company :

'I cordially recommend to the dear lonen of the Muaes, and
namely to the profieeed aonnea of the aame, Edmond Spencer,

Ibr tbelr atudioun endeuonre eommendably employMl In enriching
and pollahing tbair natlus tongne, kc.'—UL IIL, p. 2S, 1692, 4to.

Gabriel Harrey is so far fVom being ashamed of his
English hexameters, which hare been riolently attacked,
that he exclaims, in the same publication from which wa
hare jnst quoted,

" If I oerer deeerre any better remembrance, let me be epitapbel
the 7aKa<<nir<i^U<Al«CMA<xaBu(er/whonie learned Mr.Stant.
bunt Imitated In hie Vbglll, and excellent Sir. V. Sidney dladained
not to follow in hla Aieadla, and elaewhera."

Mr. Park, in quoting the al>ore, adds :

« Aeetaam In 16M had well obeerred that <«ireK« kemmelnm
doth rather trotte and boble than ranne amoothly In our Eogllah
tong.'— &totaMu(ar, p. 60. Yet Staalhnnt stiangely prolbsfes In
hla dedication to take upon Um ■ to execute aome eart of Malater
Aarhama will, who had recommended eeraua imlieiia while he
dinralaed oirwua Aaaoeumni."' SeeWarton'aHlat.of Kng.Poet.

Some of our modem poets hare rerired English hexame-
ter— we beg pardon, not rerired, but exhumed; as a
mummy is exhumed;— all that makes life, wanting, and
eren the form shrunken and uncomely. Where Soudiey
and Longfellow hare failed, the fault must be in the ma-
terial, not the artist. Mr. Longfellow himself gires a happy
illustration of the subject, when he says that " the mo-
tions of the English Muse [in the hexameter] are not
nnlika those of a prisoner dancing to the muaio of hii
chains."

We |:ira an opinion npon the subject, in which onr
author is introduced, from an ancient authority ; the italics
are onr own :

Frenean, Philip, 1752-1832, a native of New Tork,
deteeoded of a French Protestant family, entered Nassau
Halt, Princeton, New Jersey, in 1767, and graduated in
1771. Whilst residing in New York, in 1774 or 1775, he
commenced writing those poetical satires on the royalists
and their cause which have transmitted his name to pos-
terity. In 1776 he visited the Danish West Indies, where
he wrote two of his principal poems. The House of Night,
and The Beauties of Santa Cruz. Two years later be was
at Bermuda. In 1779 he was engaged in editorial labours
In Philadelphia, having the superintendence of the United
States Magaiine, pub. by Francis Bailey. He subsequently
became a sea-captain, and made many voyages between
1784 and 1789, and 1798 and 1809. In 1797 he com-
menced the publication in New York of The Time Piece
and Literary Companion — a short-lived periodioal, — and
displayed considerable ability in its literary management
He was for some time Translating Clerk in the Department
of State under Thomas Jefferson, and editor of the Na-
tional Qasette. The attacks upon General Washington's
administration which appeared in this paper are to be at-
tributed to Jefferson and his clerk, if the latest assertions
of the latter are to he believed. After leading a wander-
ing life, and engaging in many literary undertakings, he
perished in a snow-storm, in his 80th year. Doc 18, 1832,

Filler, Thomaa, I608-I66I, a native of Aldwmokle,
Herthamptonshlre, at &* early age of twelve entered
Qneen's Coll., Camb., and ttndira with auch perseverance
Oat he took the degree of A.B. in 16M, and that of A.M.
la 1638. In 1681 ha became Fellow of Sidney Coll., and
la the same year was made Pnhendary of Salisbury, after
aatoniAtet his haareis with his eloquenee from the pulpit
«f St. Bennetts, Cambridge ; and not long after was re-
warded by the Beetorship of Broad-Windsor, Dorsetshire.
Vpon the death of his first wife, about 1641, he removed
to LvadoB and becaoM minister of the Savoy. We may here
■ssntion that, after remaining a widower for thirteen years,
he was, in 1664, married to a sister of Vlaeount Baltin-
riasse. Alter Charles had quitted London, (in 1642,)
Valhr praaefaed a sermon in which ha displayed both his

{ loyalty aad tha leva of pertinent fllostration which is oh-
I servable in hia works. To the great indignation of tha
I Parliamentarians, he gave out his text, " Yea, let him tidto
all, so that my lord the king return in peace."

This sermon waa publiahed, and brought the good
preacher Into diareputa with thoae whose purposes would
not have been itarthered by " bringing the king again if
peace." Nothing daunted, when the Royalists took up
"carnal weapona" to defend their aovereign. Fuller joiaod
the army as chaplain, and, not content with praying for
the succeaa of hia soldiers, he ao excited their courage by
hia exhortations, that Sir William Waller was obliged to
raise the siege of Basinghouse with great loss. This is
just what one would expect fTom the hearty, vigorous,
genial tone of the author of the Worthies of England. As
regarda its propriety, we are not called upon to express an
opinion. After the aurrendcr of Exeter, in April, 1646, ha
removed to London, where be found hia lecturer'a place
filled by another preacher. Hia eloquence, however, was
too well known to permit of his being long without em-
ployment. He waa soon chosen lecturer at St. Clement's
Lane, near Lombard Street ; removed to St. Bride's in
Fleet Street; waa, in 1648, preaented to the living of
Waltham in Easex, which he left In-1658 for that of Crab-
ford, Middleaex; recovered hia prebend at the Restora-
tion, readmitted to his Leetureahip at the Savoy, and
died in the year following. His pnDoipal works are the
following :

Bishop Nieolson is as severe upon this entert^iogwoik
M he is upon the Church History :

But see a defence of Fuller in the Biog. Brit His bio-
grapher there very pertinently reminds ns of Fuller's own
plea for himself, when excusing John Pox's error in assert-
ing Harbeek to have been burnt at the stske, when Har-
beok "lived" — for all that we know to the eontnuy — "a

than we can well afford, and most dismiss him after Iha

number of years ; and in 1830 Ur. Gallagher formed a
connection with the Backwoodsman, a political journal
pub. at Xenia, Ohio. In 1831 he became editor of The
Cincinnati Mirror ; in 1838 of The Western Literary Jour-
nal and Monthly Review, aad in 1837 of The Westara

Judge Story sent these volumes (1st ed.) to Sir William

From tbe same interesting work we eztraot tbe following
aoeedole:

•* At an evening dub, where 8lr Jamee Maeklnlob waa pment
with liord Stowdl, (tfaan Sir WUlhun Scott,) 8lr WUUam Giaat
came la with a book In hia pocket, which was no other than a to*
Inme of the Reporta of the excellent and lamented Oalllaon, and
which ha dr«w out rather archly, observing to Sir Wnilam Scott,
'Tbia Ur. Story appears to be a prcmlalng pupU;' adding, *Toa
muat not expect theaa dootrinea of yours to be confined to one
belligerent power, but they must make the tour at all tbe belU-
gerenta.' TUs waa done by Sir William araut, aa Sir James Mask-
intosh said, *wlth malloe prepense.'"

In Judge Story's admirable address upon the Progress
of Jurisprudence, delivered before the Members ef the
Suffolk Bar, Sept. 4, 1821, will be found an eloquent tri-
bute to the virtues of Oaliison, who had died in the pre-
ceding year. We append an extract :

the phyeieians and apothecaries, the latter of wfaom op-
posed the design of the former to furnish the poor with
advice gratia and medicines at prime cost. To hold the
apothecaries up to publio reprobation and ridicule. Garth
pub. in 1699, 4to, his satirical poem of the Dispensary,
which pleased the town so much that it went through
three editions in a few months, and many were subse-
quently pub. The 9th ed., which contains a number of
epiaodea and inaoriptions, appeared in 1706. Pope ra-
marka that it had 'been " corrected in even' edition, and
that every change was an improvemenL" When Garth, in
1697, spoke what ia now called the Hanreian Oration, b«
followed up the blow in Latin, and the poor apotheeairiai
were placed completely \on du combat. He also wreta

The Princely Pleasures of Kenilwortii Castle, one of Oas-
eoigne's masques, will remind many of our readers of
Amy Robsart and Sir Biehard Vamey, of tlie ambitions
Earl and his imperious m istress. Among Oaseoigne's best-
known pieces are: Tha Olasse of Oonemment ; aTTBg)«aU
Comedie, Lon., 1575, 4to. The Steele Olas ; a Satyrs, 1576,
4to. A Delicate Diet for daintie monthde Droonkards;

and Miseries of Man's Life are liuely portrayed and learn-
edly set forth, 1580, 4to. The Comedie of Supposes, and
the Tragedie of loeasta, in the collective ed. of his Whole
Woorkcs, 1587, iVo. Warton says that the Comedie of Snp-

oses was the flrst comedy written in English proas; and

t. Farmer in his Essay on Shakapeare says that the latter
borrowed part of the plot and of the phraseology of this
play, and transferred it into his Taming of tha Shraw.
This was the opinion of Chalmers, Warton, and Oifford,
also. Many of Oaseoigne's works are reprinted In Chal-
mers's ed. of the Pfcts. For notices of early eds., snd of

Gataker, Thoaaas, Ii74-lt64, was educated at SL
John's Coll., Camb.,- preacher at Lincoln's Inn, 1801;

barred fh)m actire pastoral duty by ill health. He was
one of those who snbserilied the Covenant, but professed
his attachment to Episcopaey, and in the time of the Com-
monwealth sided with the Presbyterians rather than tha
Independents. Ha was one of the most learned critics of
lua day, and Salmasins, Aenins, Colomies, Morhof, Baillet,

his principal works are : — 1. Of the Nature and Use of

Gandea, Jokn, D.D., 1606-1662, a native of May-
tald, Essex, educated at St John's ColL, Camb., became
Vicar of Chippenham, and aalisaqaently Rector of Bright-
well, Berkshire. Being appointed chaplain to Robert^
Earl of Warwick, he pruofaed Iiefore the House of Com-
mons, Nov. 28, 1640, and so pleased the members that
they gave him a silver tankard, and in the next year
presented him to the rich deanery of Booking, in Essex.
When he discovered the mnrderons designs entertained by
the Pariiamenterians, he boldly opposed them in a published
protest, (1648, fol.,) and after the king had been put to
death, he wrote A Just Invective against those of the
army and their abettors who murthered K. Charles I., Ac. ;
written Feb. 10, 1648. But this was not pub. nntil after
the Restoration, t. e. in 1662. In 1680 he was made Bishop
of Exeter, and in 1662 translated to Worcester. He wrote
a number of treatises in vindication of the Church of Eng-
land and its ministers, among which are Hieraspistes, or
A Defence of the Ministry and Ministers of the Ch. of
Eng., 1853, 4to; The Case of Ministers' Maintenance by
Tithes, 1853 ; Petitionary Remonstrance to Oliver Crom-
well in behalf of the Clergy of Eng., 1858, 4to; Eodesisa

The character of Ganden has been violenUy assailed;
hut he lived in days when prominent men of either party
were not likely to meet with much mercy from their oppo-
nents. Without entering into any examination of his
character, it is but fkir to quote Wood's declaration, and
thus give him credit for what cannot he disputed :

• While he eonttnned there rtntor at Wadham College] the great-
ness of hk parts weie much Impravad by the greatness of Indus-
try, bestowing the moat {lart of the day and night too In the study

If the reader ask w "Who wrote Icon Baailike T' we
shall be obliged to reply aa we ahall when he (by supposi-
tion) asks us "Who wrote Junius?" — Really, we cannot
tell. To ahow him that we have ao great roaaon to blnah
for our ignorance, we beg to tell him that the learned Dr.
Wordaworth "provea" that King Charlea L wrote it, and
the equally learned Sir Jamea Mackintoah " provea" that
Bishop Qauden wrote it. Now it ia certain that both can
Dot be right, and it ia joat aa certain that it would pnxxla a
wiaer head diaa onra to prove that either ia wrong. Those
who wish to see Dr. Wordaworth supported can turn to the
London Quarterly Review, xxxii. 487-^05; and thoee who
wiah to aee Sir James Mackintoah countenanced can oob-
■olt Todd's answer to Wordsworth, and Henry Hallam's
Introduction to the Literature of Europe. The quotation
of the opinion of the last-named eminent authority may
fitly ooDcluda this article:

Gar» John, 1688-1732, a native of BarasUple, Iha
deaoendant of the ancient family of the Le Qays of Oxford
and Devonshire, waa at an early age apprenticed to a silk-
meroer in London. A brief experience proved both to
himself and his master that he was ill aoitad In Oe dnlks
of active life, and, obtaining a diaeharga from his ind«->
tons, ha determined to follow hia literary incliiationl.
Tbe amiability and unobtrusiveneaa of hia character re.
commended him to the friendship of Pope, Bwiii, and
other wits of the day, aad his new aUaehmaata wan
atrengthened by the evidence of poetical abilities diaplayod
in hia Rural Sports, a descriptive poem addressed to Pope,
and pub. in 1711. In the next year he obtained the sitss-
tion of domestic secretary to the Duchess of Honmoath;
aad two years later prodoced The Fan : a Poem, and The
Shepherd's Week, in VI. Pastorals. Trivia; or, the Art
of Walking the Streets, appeared in the succeeding yesr.

But during this period he had not neglected the itage—

ambition to the poets of bis day aad the preceding leigaa
In 1713 his comedy of the Wifb of Bath had been eoa-

the diagraca attaooing to want of sneoeaa ; although Pop*
and Aranthnot would probably hava claimed a ahaia ia
the aothorship had any lauiala been fortheoaalng. How.
ever, Oay'a wounded feelinga were somewhat aoothad by
a profit of £1000 on an edition of his Poems, pnbL by anb-

We are not ignorant that the i^jurioni inflaenees which
we charge upon the Beggar*! Opera hare been denied ; and
Ihii might anrpriee us if any thing in the way of effrontery
or aopbietiy eoald now excite our wonder. But the fact
which we are abont to quote it worth more than all the
ipeeial pleading which has been lavished upon such sub-
jects from the days of John D'Urfey to the present eene-
ration :

"In the year 1773, Sir John nelding told the bench of Joltlwa
that he had written to Mr. Oarrick eoneeniing the Improprie^ of
potmUac the Beggir'i Open, whkb <mtr wot rtpraaittd wUli-

But excepting fame — or disgrace, as we should term it
—Mr. Gay receired but little compensation for the mis-
ehieroua effects produced by the Beggar's Opera. He
pocketed but £400, and perhaps this was hardly sufficient
to soothe the companotious Tisitings naturally excited by
raeh evil agency. He therefore wrote a sequel to the Beg-
gar's Opera, entitled Polly, the representation of which
was forbidden — for political reasons — by the Lord-Cham-
beriwD. This refusal excited the ire of the party in op-
peaitios, and a profit of £1100 or £1200 accrued to Oay
noaa the publication of the prohibited piece. Nor was
Ihii bis only triumph. The Duke and Duchess of Queens-
fecny adopted him as a member of their family, and bis
flnce beeame pecuniary guardian of the poet, who, like
most poets, knew not how to keep his money. His lord-
■faip proved so able a financier, that on his death, Dec i,
1733, G»y left a property of £.3000. In addition to the
work* already noticed, he wrote The Distressed Wife, a
Comedy ; Aobilles, an Opera ; Dione, a Pastoral, Ac. ; and
Basy songs and ballads. The best-known specimen of
kis proac is the letter — in which he was assisted by Pope
— firom Lord Hareourt's seat in Oxfordshire, giving an
aeeoant of the death of two village lovers by a stroke of
ligbtaiDg. Among his minor poems may be instanced
The Hare with many Friendi, The Court of Death, and
Blaek-Byed Snaan. As a poet, his merits were great; as
a man, be vaa indolent, amiable, and irresolute ; as a
meislist, he is entitled to no eonsidemtion whatever. He
lived with no higher purpose than to please, and died with
the eonaciousneas that he bod done little or nothing to
profit or iaalmot.

Gibbon, Edward, April 27, 1737— Jan. IS, 1794,
one of the most eminent of modern historians, was de-
scended from an ancient family of Kent. His grandfather,
Edward Gibbon, was one of the Commissioners of Customs
daring the last four years of Qneen Anne ; and his father,
also Edward Qibbon, tat in Parliament in 17.14 for Peters-
fleld, and in 1741 for Southampton. The nubject of this
notice, born at Putney, in Surrey, — the eldest of five bro-
thers and a sister, all of whom died in tfaeir infancy, — was
admitted at Westminster school in 1749, and, three years
later, in 1752, was matriculated as a gentleman-commoner
of Magdalen College, Oxford. Not having received that
preparatory training which could alone have qualified him
for deriving mnch advantage from his collegiate course,
we need not marvel tbat the fourteen months which he
spent at this famous seat of learning were " idle and nn-
proStable." He tells us, indeed, tbat he brought to Ox-
ford "a stock of erudiUon that might have pnisled a
doctor, and a degree of ignorance of which a schoolboy
would have been ashamed;" hut the latter statement wiU
be accepted with mors readiness than the former. At the
early age of sixteen be was led, by the perusal of the
works of BoBsuet and Parsons, to entertain doubts of the
soundness of the principles of the Reformation, and in
1753 we find him solemnly abjuring these errors at the
feet of a Roman Catholic priest in London. His father,
anxious both for his mental improvement and spiritual
benefit, sent htm to Lausanne, in Switaerlsnd, charging
bis instructor, the Rev. Mr. FaviUlard, a Calvioist minis-
ter, to persuade him, if possible, of tfae unsoundness of
the tenets which he had so lately embraced. Young Qib-
bon was not impregnable, and on Christmas day, 1754,
only eighteen months after his conversion to Romanism,
after " a fnll conviction," he received the sacrament in
the church at Lausanne.

Having now none of the temptations to gay company
which had robtwd him of many of his college hours, he
applied himself to study with a praisewortliy anxiety to
store bis mind with useful knowledge, and speedily ao-
qoired a creditable acquaintance with the Greek, I^tin, and
French languages, Jurisprudonoe, and Belles- Lettres. His
hours of application were relieved by the society of a young
lady of great beauty and many accomplishments. Made-
moiselle Susan Curchod, to whom the attentions of the
English student were not disagreeable. But the father of
the object of his affections discouraging a matrimonial
alUaneCk the young people bore their disappointment in a
most philosophical manner. Gibbon tells us that his
wound was insensibly healed by time, and that the lady
was not unhappy ! be returned to the classics, and Mile.
Curchod became the wife of the celebrated Mr. Nooker,
•ad the mother of Hme. de StaeL But the youthful lover
did not Ktik consolation in the marriage state ; he lived
and died a bachelor. " Since the failure of my first wishes,"
he remarks, when over fifty. " I have never entertained
any serious thoughts of a matrimonial connection."

In 1758 he returned to England, after an absence of
nearly Are years, and, through bis acquaintance with David
Mallett, gained admittencs into a class of society which
enabled faim to display bis own acquirements, and gather
that general knowledge of current English literature in

GIB

which he felt himself to be not so well versed as in mora
abstruse researches. Finding that Swift, Addison, Ro-
bertson, and Hume, were praised for various graces of
style, or strength and perspicuity of diction, he read them
with great care, and ardently longed to gain some measure
of that distinction which had rewarded their efforte to in-
struct or please the world.

In 1761 Gibbon confided to Dr. Maty the secret tbat he
had in a matured state an Esssi sur I'etude de la Littira-
ture, composed in French, and requested his opinion of its
roorite. His counsellor urged its publication, and when
the young author heeiUtod to trust himself into tfae bands
of critics, his father, ever anxious for his advancement,
insisted upon ite being given to the world. Accordingly,
it made its appearance in 1761, in a 12mo vol. The foreign
critics commended it, but at home it was scarcely noticed,
and made no imprei^sion at all upon the public mind.
Some years later it was sought fur with avidity :

** The pabllrathm of my History, fifteen years afterwards, revived
the memory of my flr«t production, and the Kspay was eageriy
sought fbr In the vhops; but 1 refused the permlralon of reprint*
Ing it. and when a copy has been discovered at a sale, the primi-
tive value of 2f. td. has risen to the fknclfol pries of 20 or SO
shillings.'* — AtUobinffraphy.

About the time of the publication of this Essay he was
appointed Captein of the South battelion of the Hampshire
militia, and for two years and a half endured "a wander-
ing life of military servitude." He discharged fais duties
with seal and fidelity, but was not sorry to return to the
ease of civil life, upon the disbanding of his regiment on
the restoration of peace in 1762-6S. At a later period ba
resumed his militery duties, and atteined the rank of
lieutenant-colonel, and commandant of his regiment. In
1763 he again visited the continent, famished with letters
to persons of distinction in France from Horace Walpole,
the Duke de Nivernois, Lady Horsey, and David Mallett.
In Paris be was pleased to find that his Essay had mads
his name familiar to the leaders of fashion and letters, and
he soon mingled on easy terms with D'Alembert, Diderot,
Helvetius, Count de Caylus, the Abb6 de Bleterie, Bar-
thelemy, Raynal, Amaud, and others of more or less note.

Those who appear sivprised at the deep-seated infidelitjr
and easy effronteiy in indecency which are so painfully
manifest in tfae Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,
lay too little stress on the fact that a moral ruin in the
better nature of the author had preceded tfae political
decadence which he has so eloquently described. We hare
here, of course, no reference to faabite of life or the eco-
nomy of social duties. We go further : we speak of the
"heart, out of which an the issues of life," and we affirm
that, when the desire of the approbation and fear of the
judgmente of God have been banished, then the glory has
departed from the temple, and tfae palsloe, however beauti-
ful, can claim but the chilling grandeur of the tomb.

In May, 1763, Gibbon revisited Lausanne, where be had
resided for nearly a year, and in 1764 we find him, with
all that devotion which he had once cherished for Chris-
tianity transferred to the worship of classical antiquity, •
pilgrim at the gates of the Eternal City.

He bad long anxiously revolved in his mind many pro-
minent eras in the faistoiy of the world, in the hope of ao-
quiring by tfaeir happy treatment that fame which Robert-
son and Hume considered as an ample reward for their
" days and nighto" of patient research and wearisome toU.

The mind of Gibbon was therefore in a stete peculiarly
alive to tfae influence of strong emotion, and tfais visit to
Rome decided the theme which should carry his name to
posterity, gathering in its progress, we may add, the
mingled admiration and reproach of suocessive generations
to the end of time. Tbat biographer will do tfae historian
injustice who shall relate for him what he has so eloquently
told himself — the inception and completion of the Deolina
and Fall of the Roman Empire.

"It was at Rome," he tolls us, "on the Uth of October, 1764, as
I sat muslDg amidst the rains of the Capitol, while the bare-ibotsd
Mun were sloging veapora In the temple of Jupiter, that the Idea
of writing the decline and fkll of the city first started to my mind.
But my original plan was eircomseribed to the decay of the d^
tatbertbanoftbeempira; and, though my reading and refiacUons
iMgan to point towards that oi^Jeet, soma years elaiMed, and save.
ral avocatlona Intarvanad, Iwfore I was seriously engaged In the
execution of tlut laborious work." — Aubabioffrophy.

In 1767, Mr. Deyvordun, a Swiss gentleman, then in
England, to whom Gibbon was warmly attached, united
with him in the publication of a literary Journal, entitled
Hemoires Littireires de la Grande Br^tagne, of which only
two vols, appeared, (1767-68.)

" It is not my wish to deny how deeply I was Interested In these
Memoirs, of which 1 need not be ashamed. ... 1 will presume to

We may remark that the venion of part of Anstey's
New Bath Oaide, in the Memoirs, has been declared equal
to the celebrated Towneley Hudibras : the Review of Wal-
pole's Hiatorio Doubta was written by David Hume, Tbeae
two (12ma) vols, are now rare. Hanrott's copy sold for
£6 16«. td. Gibbon's next publication — an anonymous one,
in 1770 — was Critical Observations on the Sixth Book of the
.fineid. This was an attack upon Bishop Warburton's
eelebrated hypothesia in the Divine Legation of Hoses,
respectins; the descent of £neas to hell.

" According lo Bl<hop Warburton the descent to hell l> not a
Mm but a mimic scene; whicb represents the Initiation of ^neas,
In the cbarmcter of a law^lTer, to the Kleuslnian mysteries. This
hypothesis, a singular chanurter In the divine legation of Hoses,
had been admitted by many as true; It was prmlscd by allaslnge-
cioos, nor bad It been exposed, In a space of thirty years, to a fiilr
and critical discussion. ... As the Bishop ofaioucester and bis
party maintained discreet dience, my critical disquisition was soon
lest among the pamiAletsof theday; but the public coldness was
overbalanced to my feelings by the weighty approbation of the last
and best editor of VligU, Profeesor Ueyne, of Oottlngen ; wbo so

tus . . . et elagantlsslmus Britannus.' ... In the fifteen years
between my Kssay on the Study of Literature and the «iat volume
of the Decline and Fall, (1781-1776,) this criticism on Warburton,
and Mme articles la the Journal, were my sole publications." —
Auiobiografhy,

From the year 1788, Oibbon devoted himself with zealous
indiistry to the preparation of his great work, " the labour
of six quartos and twenty years," and in 1778 gave the
llrst Tolome to the world. Its success wa« immediate and
complete.

"I am at a loss bow to dsKribe the success of the work, without
hetnylng the vanity of the writer. The flnt Impieaslon was ex-
hausted In a few days; a second and third edition wera scarcely
adequate to the demand; snd the bookseller's property was twlre
Invaded by the pirates of Dublin. My book was upon every table,
and almost on every toilette; the historian was crowned by the
taste or fluhlon of the day."

But though the " historian" was warmly and jnstly oom-
mended, the assailant of Christianity did not escape strong
■nd deserved rebuke. A list of the principal strictures
elicited by the famous 16th and 18th chaptars will be found
In Chalmers's Biog. Diet., to whieh we refer the reader.
Some of these works we have already had occasion to no-
tice, and others will come under our consideration in future
portions of this volume. Among those particuUrly noticed
by Gibbon in his Autobiography are those of Davis, Wat-
■on, Apthorpe, Taylor, Priestley, Dalrymple, and White.
Bishop Watson's work — An Apology for Christianity, in a
Series of Letlen to Edward Qibhon — is now the best-known
of these vindications. It is not at all necessary that wo
■hould enlarge upon a theme which has received snch am-
ple consideration IVom so many who are well quallBed to
judge in the premises. That Gibbon was successful in de-
ceiving even himself by his sophistry we do not at all
believe; and tbat any candid inquirer can attach much
weight to objections so specioas it it still more difficult to
credit. The aversion with which the mind of the historian
eontsmplatod the subject of Christianity can be no marvel
when we remember the impenitent remorse which must
have mingled with his assumption of philosophical skepti-
eism. That he strove to be an infidel we have ample evi-
dence ; that he ever rested satisfied in the exchange which
he hod made for the fliith of his early days wc cannot
concede. Be speaks of Christianity as wc may imagine
the ingrate to speak of that friend whose kindness be bad
rewarded by an attempt to ruin his peace, betray his con-
fidence, and blast his reputation. To use the admirable
language of Hr. Milman,

"Cbrlatlanlty alone receivea no embellishment Ihmi the magic

It la kept down by a general tone of Jealous dlnparagement, or neu-

generate periods. There are occasions. Indeed, when Its pure and

In 1774 Hr. Gibbon entered the Honae of Commons, in
which he sat for eight yean % silent supporter of Lord
North's administration. His claims were not overlooked,
•nd a scat at the Board of Trade, with an income of £700

Autobiography.

In this delightful retreat, the charms of wbicV the
recluse has drawn with so exquisite a pencil, tberoncludiDi
chapters of the Decline and Fall moved rapidly on to
completion, and, in 1787, vols, iv., v., and vi., were itadj
for the press. Bearing in remembrance what we ban
remarked in a preceding page, we give the aceooot of tbs
author's feelings on concluding a work so grand, so tralj
great, in his own language :

" It was on the day, or rather night, of the 27th of Jnne, 1*S7,
between the hours of eleven and twelve, that I wrote U» lul
lines of the last page, in a snmn■e^llou•e In my ganlen. Ate
laying down my pen, I took sevenU turns in a bensan, or smnl
walk of acadaa, which commands a prospect of the eonotiy, tks
bike, and the mountains. Tbe air was tempersts^ the >ky «ii
serene, the silver orb of the moon was reflected fkom the vatsn,
and all nature was silent. I will not dissemble tbe firat emotkial
of Joy on tbe rocovery of my freedom, and, perhaps, the MtthllA-
ment of my bme. But my pride wat toon hnmbled, aod t lobfr
melancholy was spread over my mind, by the idea that I had takft
an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable compauloa, tod Ibit
whataoorer might be the ftatura date of my hlttory, the lUi oriht
historian mutt be short and precarioua"

Alas for that prospect which is bounded by the tenb!
Had the hope of the Christian animated the bnatt of Ike
scholar, the anticipation of a " life short and preeorioiu,'
instead of being a cause of grief, would have been prodae-
tive of joy. But the thought of the Homing of the Remr-
rection, if at all entertained by the skeptic, conid have
been a source of nothing but horror, surely not of deeira
Thus did not Bocrhaave, thus did not Grotiss, nor New-
ton, nor Burke, regard the coming on of " that night wbsi
no man can work." The historian proceeds to renurk:

" I will add two flKta, which have seldom occnrred In the eon-
petition of six, or even of five, quartoa. 1. My first rough Data-
script, without any Intermediate copyjhat been sent to the prwa
2. Not a sheet has been seen by any human eyes excepting thoM
of the author and tbe printer; tbe ikulta and the merlta an a-
einalvely my own." — Avtabingraphf.

■ Oibbon now visltod Bngland, to superintend the publica-
tion of the conclusion of his work, for which be recciTsd
a large sum from the publisher, Hr. Cadell. When tbs
sheets were all printed, the day of publication wat de-
layed, that It might coincide with tbe author's ftfty-int
anniversary of his birthday :

" The double fesUval was celebtaled by a ebatrfill Utmry dh-
ner at Mr. Cadell's bouae; and I seemed to blnah while thiy nal
an elegant compliment IVom Mr. Ilayley. whose pceticd tilsati
llad more than once been employed In the praises of bis Mend."

demand, an edition of the whole work, in 12 vols. 8n>, wu
pub., 1788-90. Gibbon's profit on tbe whole is staled It
have been £8000, whilst the booksellere netted the hsnl-
some sum of £80,000,

Hr. Gibbon returned to Lausanne, July SO, 1788, tad in
about a year fWim this time met with an iireporable lost
in the death of his friend Dcyverdan. He was now thrown
more upon his own resources for amusement, and occopisd
himself in writing his own Memoirs, — to which we batt
been largely indebted in this aketoh, — projecting a series
of biographical portraits of eminent Englishmen fron tbt
time of Henry VIIL, (never prepared,) and some other
literary labours.

The events which followed tbe first excesses of lbs
French Revolution threatened the peace of Swittcilaid,
and the blast of war startled tbe recluse in his library.
With reluctant steps he left tbe charming retreat, endeattd
to him alike by the remembrances of boyhood and the
tranquil satisfactions of mature years, and bent his way Is
the great metropolis of his native land. He arrived at

"The autobiography of QiBBOir, attached to bis Posthumous
Works, edited by Lord Sheffield, hss been perhaps the most popu-
lar production of Its kind, of modem times. It la winning in an
unusual degree. The periods flow with a sort of liquid cadence.

charm, the polish, the harmony of the style. But tbe Autobio-
graphy of Qibbon ia in fact, the consummation of Aar ; and never

the admiration of posterity. How different la the Autobiography

As regards the various edits, of the Decline and Fall,
Dean Hilman's (see No. 18, above) has no rival. For
family reading, where it is not pleasant to be obliged to
keep the eyes always a little in advance of the voice, if
reading aloud, or where you hesitate to trust infidelity and
indecency uneorrectad to your eliildren, Bowdler's edit is
to be preferred; and we should be glad to see a new
edition, say in 3 vols. Svo, price not over £2. Of coarse
the scholar can by no means dispense with Hilman's ex-
cellent edition, which contains the unmntilated text of
Gibtwn, carefully revised, partienlarly in the quototions ;
and illustrated with notes, to correct the errors of Gibbon,
and especially to pat the nnwary reader on his guard
against his misstetemenU regarding Christianity.

The chief works from which Mr. Milman derived his
materials ore : — I. The French translation, with Notes,
by M. Guisot XL Tbe German translation, with Notes
of Wenck. Ill- The new edition of Le Beau's Histoire
da Bas Empire, both with Notes by M. St Martin and M.
Brosset IV. Such worlis at have come to light since the
appearance of Gibbon's History.

" There can be no question tliat this edition of Gibbon Is the only
one extant to which parents and guardians, and academical an-
thoritiea, ought to give any measure of countenance. Tbe editor's
lllnstratlans on subjects of aecuUr and Hteraiy interest are in
every respect aurh as might hsve heen anticipated fWnn his dia-
rsetor, as one of the most accompllahed scholars and writers of his
sge."— Rzv. J. J. BLDin, in Lon. (itiar. Rtv., IxU. 3ao-S8i, q. t.

" Gibbon's History, especially aa edited by Mr. Milman, Is a work
for all time and for all clsasee. It never before wss a work which
could be safely put Into the handa of the young, or of those whose
opportnnltles and means <br detecting lis perversions were fow.
Now, bowavar, the errors of this luminous and imporing hlsto^
hare been skilfully and convincingly noted. The poison. If not
extracted, has been made palpable.*'— Zon. MmUdu /ferine.

" The name of Gibbon will occur to the student as s splendM,
but In some respects dangerous guide, down to tbe dose of the
sixteenth oentniy. We say he la a dangerous guide, in respect of Ills
gross and malignant mlarepreeentatlons concerning the Christian
religion; and we recommend the student to procure tbe Kev. H
MUman's edition of Gibbon, In which that gnat writeHa errore
and mlarepresentations will be found exposed with candour, ftee-

of the Egyptians," would we be willine to write oae Hne

calculated to disturb the faith of the humbleBl Christian
in that inspired record which "hath God for its Author,
Truth for its suhstanoe, and Salvation for its end !" In a
world of trial, sorrow, and temptation, let no impious
hand presume to assMl that Ark of Refuge and Consola-
tion which Divine mercy has provided for the guilt and
misery of humanity.

We conclude our notice of this distlngaiebed writer
with some quotations from eminent authorities:

** After A first rapid pernail, which ullowed in« to feel nothing
but the Interest of a narratire always animated, and, notwltb-
staDdlng its extent and the variety of olgeets which It makes to
pan hefore the view, alwavi persplcaous, I entered upon a minute
examination of the detaUs of which it was eompowd, and the
opinion which I then formed was, I oonftas, slngnlarly severe. I
dueovered. In certain chapters, errors which appeared to me nifB-
dently Important and numerons to make me believe that they had
been written with extreme negligence; in othei^ I was stmck
with a certain tinge of partiality and pr^ndloe, which Imparted to
the exposition of the ftcts that want of truth and Justice whkh
the English express by their happy term mUnprtKntation. Borne
Imperfect (tronqu6ee) qootatloos, smne passages omitted uninten-
tionally or designedly, nave cast snspldon on the honesty (bonne
tA) of the author; and his violation of the first law of history-
Increased to my eyes by the prolonged attention with which I oc-
cupied myself with every phrase, every note, every reflection —
caused me to fbrm on the whole a judgment fkr too rlgoroua After
having finished my labours, I allowed some time to elapse before
J reviewed the whole. A second attentive and regular perusal of
the entire woi^, of the notes of the author, and of thoae which I
had thought It right to sulijoln, showed me how much I had ex-
aggerated the importance of the reproaches which Gibbon really
deserved. I was struck with the same errors, the same partiality
on certain sntjects: but I had been fiir Tram doing adequate jus-
tiee to Uie Immensity of hla researches, the variety of his know-
ledge, and, above all. to that truly philosophical discrimination
(Jostesse d'esprit) which Judges the past as It would Judge the
present; which does not permit Itself to be blinded by the clouds
whkh time gathers around the dead, and which prevents us from
seeing that under the toga as under the modem dress, in the
senate as In our conndls, men were what they stUl are, and that
events took place eighteen centuries ago as they take place In our
days. I then felt that his book, in spite of its laults, will always
be a noble work ; and that we may correct his orors, and oombat
his prejudices, wlthont ceasing to admit that few men have com-
bined, if we are not to say in so high a degree, at least I n a manner
so complete and so well regulated, the necessary quallfieatlous for
a writer of history."— Ouiur. Bee Lon. Quar. Rev., 1. 290.

"Qlbbon was not, like Hume, a aelf thinking, deep>lktbomine
man, who searched into the nature of things, existence and
thought, but was In these respects like the French, or like the
Beotchman Brougham, who has also attained this Franco^enerese
capadty of quickly making other people's thoughts and Investlgsr
tlons his own, and propounding them In an admtmble manner.
Like the great French writera, be can take a quick and ounpre
hendve view of various departments of knowledge, and we can
therefore learn most readily through his instrumentality the re-
sults of the learned labours of the great oolleetors of materials
upon the theolwy, philosophy, and Jurisprudence of the times of
declining antiquity, and of the rising middle ages. Because his
eloquence and bis great skill in representation give a charm and
mlendour to the thoughts which he wishes to disseminate, he has
the ftill right of all men who are great In politics and literature to
dalm that nobody diouM ask whether he was really in earnest,
or how his language and his conduct harmonlxed." — SchUnter'M
Bid. of the EighUenth (knt. Ac.; trans, by D. Davidson.

As Schloseer has introduced the name of Lord Brougham
in his review of the characteristics of Qlbbon, it will not
be inappropriate to quote some comments of the former
upon the style of the great historian of the Roman Empire.
** He will not condescend to be plain ; he forgets that the very
business of the historian Is to relate the history of events as they
happened. He must always shine; but, labouring for effect, be
wholly omits the obvious oonslderatjon that relief Is absolutely
necessary to|vodnce It; and forgets that a strong, unbroken light
may daxsle without plying, or may shine rather than Illuminate,
and that a broad gJAre may be as confused and uninteresting as
darkness Itself The main fiiult of his style la the perpetual
MFort which It discloses. Hume may have concealed his art better
than Kobertson, yet the latter is ever at bis entire ease, while
Gibbon is over in the attitudes of the Academy; he is almost ago-
nlstk. He can tell yon nothing In plain terms, unadorned with
IlKure, unseasoned with epigram and point." — Lord BroughjaaiCa
Men of Letter* and Seutnce, second teria.

The remarks of Mr. Prescott in this connexion — him-
self a historian of the very first rank — are worthy of con-
sideration :

**Th« first two octavo volumes of Olbbon's HIstoiT were written
la a eomparatlvdy modest and unaffected manner, for he was then
uncertain of public fiivour. And, Indeed, his style was exceed-
ingly commended by the most eompetant critics ctf tfast day, as
Hume, Joseph Warton, and others, as Is abnudanUy shown in
tbeir correniondenoe. But when be had tasted the sweets of
popular applause, and had been crowned as the historian of the
day, his increased oonsaquenoe becomes at onoe visible In the as-
sumed statellness and magnificence of bis learning. But even
after this period, whenever the sut^ect Is suited to his style, and
when his fnlegmatic temper Is warmed by ttiose generous emotions
of which, as we have said. It was sometimes susceptible, he ex-
hibits his Ideas In the most splendid and impoalag forms of which
the iingllsh language is capable."— A'^. and Ciit. MiteeUania.

QIB

It will now be interesting to Bee what was the anthor*!
own opinion of the comparative merits of his different
volumes : * , ^ .

" The style of the flr«t volume, In my opinion, is somewhat enide
and elaborate ; In the second and third It Is ripened into ease, oor-
rectness and numbers ; but in the three last I may have been
seduced by the frdllty of my pen, and the constant liablt of speak-
ing one language and writing another may have infkised some
mixture of Gallic \d\om%J'—AtUob4ografhjf.

The tribute of the historian of Modem Eorope to hii
g^eat predecessor is truly eloquent :

•• G Ibbon, the architect of a bridge over the dark gulf wbldi sepa-
rates ancient from modem times, whose vivid genius has fkogtA
with brilliant oolonrs the greatest historical work In exlstenee."—
Auaow. « « ,

A brief extract from the able cntiqne of Profesaor
Smyth is all for which we oan find space :

"If his work be not always hWtorj, It is often something more
than history, and above It: it Is philosophy, It is theology, It Is
wit and eloquence, it Is criticism the most mastariy upon every
subject with which literature can be connected. If the style be
so eonstantly elevated as to be often obscure, to be often mono-
tonous, to be sometimes even ludicrously dispropOTtloned to the
sul^ect, It must at the same time be allowed, that, whenever an
opportunity presents itaelt; It is the striking and adequate repus'
nntationuf comprehensive thought and we^hty remark. It may
be neeeesarj no doubt to warn the student against the imitatm
(tfa mode ofwriting so little easy and nainraL But tlie very n»
cesstty of the eauUon ImpUee the attraction that Is to be reelsied,
and it must be confessed that the chapters of the Decline and Fall
are replete with paragmpbsof such melody and grandeur as woidd
be the fittest to oonv^ to a youth ct genius the ftiU charm ot
literary composition; and such as, wlum once heard, however
unattainable to the Immaturity of his own mind, he would alone
consent to admire, or hope to emnlatab . . . When such Is the
work. It Is placed b^ond the Justice or the InJuBtlce (tf eritldsm;
the Christian may luve, but too often, very just reason to com-
plain, the moralist to reprove, the man of taste to eensure,— even
the historical Inquirer may be flitiguad and Irritated hy ttw
unseasonable and obscure splendour through which he Is io dlt'
cover the objects of his research. But the whole is, notwithstand-
ing, such an assemblage of merits, so various, so interesting, and
so rare, that the History of the Decline and Fall must always be
considered as one of the most extraordinary monuments that have
appMued of tlw literary powers of a single mind, and Its flune can
perish only with the elvllixation of the world.*'— XecL on JUL

"Gibbon Isa writer ftall of thoughts; bis language Is In general
powerful and exquisite, but it has, to a great excess, the &nlts of
elaborateness, pompousness, and monotony. His style Is f^ll of
Latin and French words and phrases. . . . The work of Glbbooj
however instructive and fascinating it may be. Is neverthelcA at
bottom an offensive one, on account of his derbdency in feelii^
and hla propensity to the Infidel opinions and impious mockeriaa
of Tottalre. These are things extremely unworthy of a historian,
and in the periodic and somewhat cumbrous strle of Gibbon thsj
appear set off to fiir lees advantage than In the light and aliy oom-
pnsitlons of his master. He never seems to be naturally a wit. bat
Impreffles us with the Idea that he would very Aln be one if be
eould."— .fWderidk SOUegePt Leat, on tht BitL ^f LUentun.

" Gibbon's manner, which many have censured, I think, tn gene-
ral, well suited to the work. In the Decllneand Fallof tbe Roman
Empire, there is too mnch to sadden and dbgnst ; a smile In snch
a narraUveott some occasions IsferfTom unaceeptaUe: IfitsbottUl
be sucoeeded by a saeer. It ia not the sneer of blttemeeo, whtdl
fiills not on deUlity ; nor of trinmpli, which aooords nc4 with eta-
tempt The colours, it is true, are gorgeous, like those of tbe setting
sun; and such were wanted. The style u much swayed by tin
sentiment, M'onld that which is proper for the historian of Fablns
vid Sdplo, of Hannibal and Pyrrhus, be proper, too^ Iot Angna>
tnlus and the Popes?" — Walter Savaob LAirnoa.

" GOhen I detect a fkequent poaeher In the Fhlkeophleal EeoajS
of Botingbroke : as tn his representation of the unsocial dumefear
of the Jewish religion; and in his insinuation of the sus^dona
cast by succeeding 'miracles, acknowledged to be felse, on prior ones
contended to be true. Indeed It seems not unlikely that he caogfat
the first hint of his theological chapters Amn this work.** — GnaifM
Jhary ^f a Loiter qf Literoiun.

We extract a part of the quotation which Gibbon him*
self quotes, with no little complacency, fh>m the Biblio-
Uieca of Meusoliua :

"Summis sevi nostri historicis Glbbonna idne dnUo adnnme^

In 1791 be pali. the Bariad, a poetical latire, in imita-
tion of the flnt satire of Parslns, — elicited by the effnaioni
of Mrs. Pioni, Bertie Greatfaeae, Robert Merry, William
Faraona, Ac The history of the literary party at Florence
is Cuniliar to many of our readers. In 1795 appeared hia
Mteviad, an imitation of Horace, which was aimed at the
low state of dramatio authorship then prevailing. These
satires were so greatly admired that the tth ed. of the two
was pub. in 1800, in a 12mo toL In 1797 he became editor
of the Anti-Jaoobin, a weekly paper, established by Mr.
Canning and other gentlemen. During the twelremonth
of the existenoe of this paper, a difficulty with Dr. Wolcot
elioited from Giflford a poetical Epiatle to Peter Pindar.
In 1802, 4to, he pub. a trans, of Juvenal, and in the next
year Issued an Examination of the Strictures of the Criti-
cal Reviewers on this trans. ; a Supp. to the Bxamination
was pub. in 1804. In 1806, 4 vols. 8vo, appeared his ex-
cellent ed. of Masslnger, and in 1816 he gave to the world
an ed. of Ben Jonsoo, 9 vols. 8vo. His eds. of Ford and
Shirley, completed by other hands, were pub. afterfais death,
the first in 1827, 2 vols. 8vo, and the latter in 1833, 8 vols.
8vo.

But it was as editor of the Quarterly Review, from its
eommcncement in 1809 until 1824, that Mr. Oifford is beat
known to the world. Many interesting partioulan con-
nected with the editor, and this famous periodical, will be
found in Lockhart'a Life of Bcott, Southey'a Life and Cor-
respondence, and other literary memoirs connected with
tile earlier years of the present century. He pub., with hia
trans, of Juvenal, 1802, an autobiographical narrative,
which ia well worth peruaal aa an indication of what can
be accomplished by persevering industry, A liat of the

Giflord's trans, of Juvenal has been pronounced to be
tbe " best poetical version of a classic in the English lan-
guage," whilst Mr. HasUtt declares it to be " the baldest,
and, in parts, the most offensive of all others."

It is well known that the reviewer displayed but little
mercy to unfortunate authors whose works failed to secure
hi* approbation.

" He was a man with whom I bad no literary sympathies ; perhaps
ibere wss nothing upon which we agreed except great polttiol
qneatlona. . . . lie had a heart fall of klndneaa for all living ereo-
tores except aethora; them he regarded aa a fiahmonger reganla

flilfcrd, OS a satirist, is violent and abrupt. He takea obvious or

piuaeta a great deal of anger and contempt, but yon cannot tell
vary well why — except tliat he seems to be sore and out of humour.
Bis satire la mere peevlshuess and spleen, or something worse —
fersonal antipathy and nweour. We are In quite as much pain
war the writer, as for the ol^ject offals resentment ... As an editor
of old antbora, 3dr. Olfford la entitled to considerable praise for the

Kins he has taken In revising the text, and for some trnprovements
has introdnced into It. He liad better have spared tlie notes.
In whkli, though he lias detected the blunders of previous com-
uentatora, be has exposed his own ill-temper and narrowneaa of
iiieUng more. Aaa critic, he has thrown no light on the character
and spirit of his sutbors. Ue has shown no strklng power of
analysis, nor of original illustration, though he has chosen to ex-
ercise his pen on writers moat congenial to his own turn of mind

** He was a man of extensive knowledge; was well acquainted
with clasoie and old English lore; so learned, that he considered
all otlier people Ignorant^ so wise, that he was seldom pleased with
any thing; and, as he bid not risen to mneh eminence In the
world, be thought no one rise was worthy to rise. He almost
rivalled JetTrey in wit, and he surpassed him In scorching sarcasm
and crucUying irony. Jeffrey wrote with a sort of levity which
Indnoed flsen to doubt if he were sincere in Us strictures: Olfford

**Be was a man of rare attainiaenta and many excellent qnaU-

dasaical antfaor, and bis satire of the Bavlad and Mssvlad sqna-
laabed at ofw blow a set of ooxeombe, who might have bnubug-
fed the world long enough. Aa a cwnmentator be was capital,

mnld be but have snppresasd his lanconrs against those who had
preceded him In the task; but a miseonstmctioa or misinterpreta-
tion, nay, the misplacing of a comma, was in Olfford's eyes a crime
worthy of the most severe animadTersIon. The same fiinlt of ex-
treme severity went througb his critical labonrs, and in general
ho flagellated with so little pity, that people lost theh sense of the
criminal's guUt In dislike of the savage pleasure which the execu-
tioner seemea to take in Inflicting the punishment. This lack of
temper probably arose tarn Indifferent health, Ibr he was very
valetudinaiy, and realised two verses, wherein he says i'ortune
assigned i*^™

" ' One eye not over good.
Two sides that to their cost bare stood

A ten years' beetle cough.
Aches, stitches, sll the various ills
That swell the deTlllsh doctor's bills,
And sweep poor mortals off.'

" But ha might also justly clafan, as his gift, the moial qualltlaa
expressed in Hm next line stanza —

'"A soul
That spurns the crowd's malign control,

A firm contempt of wrong;
Spirits above affection's power.
And skin to soothe the lingering hoar
With no inglorious song/

"William Olfford, the editor of the Qnarteriy Review, seems to
have united In himself oil the bad qualities of the criticism of bis
time. He was fleree, donnatkv bigoted, Ubelloua, and nnsymp*-
thlsing. Whatever may have been his talents, they were exqnt-
sltely unfitted for bis position — his literary Judgments being con-
temptible, where any sense of beauty was required,and prinopally
dlstingnlshed for malice and word-picking. The bitter and snarl-
ing spirit with which he commented on excellence be could not
appretiate; the extreme narrowness and shallowness offals taste;
the laboured blackguardism in which he waa wont to indulge
under the Impression that It waa satire; bis detestable habit of
carrying his political hatreds Into literary criticism; his gross per-
sonal attacks on Hunt, Hsalltt, and others, who might happen iA
profess less Illiberal principles than his own; made him a danger-
ous and disagreeable adversary, and one of the worst critics of
modem times. Tbiough his posltkiu as the editor of an influential
Jottmal, his enmity acquired an Importance neither due to his ta-
lenta nor his character."— E. P. Wbifplx : N. Amer. Sec., 1x1. 489-

As a critic Hr. Oilfillan has been warmly praised, and
not aligfatly censured. He possesses one of the most dan-

f;erou8 of arts for any one who would achiere solid and last-
ng reputation, — that of great verbal facility, approaching
to conversational familiarity. He ia sometimes happy in
bis metaphors and apt in his allusions, but is more likely
to be extravagant in the one and grotesque in the other;
reminding us forcibly of the bombast and egotism so gene-
rally observable in the prevailing style of leoond-iate
American writers.

Mr. QillUlan is by no means devoid of talent ; and it is
wall worth his while, by a conrse of wholesome discipline of
his natural abilities, to correct the errors of a critical pen
which sometime* displays more passion than judgment
and more vigour of language than depth of thought.

A critic in the Dublin TTnircrsity Magazine, in a review
of Mr. Qilfillan'sFirst Oallery of Literary Portraits, refer-
ring to the author's fondness for overstrained metaphor
and ambitious style, justly remarks that

" In all aucb habitual osa of atroDfr language a writer la throw-
ing away hia wealth, and making hia ttyls In nallty poar and
meagre. Worda are lavished with profusion when they aboolutaly
represent nothing, and none but the man who baa read throngb a
volume of worda with the wish really to aaceriain the amount of
Instmctiou It gives, can Judge of toe unutterable wearlDcn pro-
dooed by this careleaa habit ot atatlng every thing In a tamper of
exaggefatlon. Simplicity of atyle la, however, seldom tbs dlatin-
gnlahing grace of a young writer'a eompoalttona"

Ve are happy to be able to add from the same article, —
for it is more pleasant to quote praise than censure, —

"Ur.Gilflllan^B effort to make hia readera acquainted with the
greatest men whom he baa met on the hlghwav of literature ia no
doubt an amblltoua one, and baa on the whole been auooeaaflilly
eseented."— uvIL «6a-«64.

The Bards of the Bible has elidted mneh nptonms eom-
mendaUon — in which we were never able to eoineide — and
severe eensnia, the Juatioa of wbieh wa do not feel aUe to
disprove.

His piety warms onr heart, but his atyle shocks onr taste.
One of the moat learned Orientalists of modem times, le-

m

' santly deceased, makes graver objections to the woik tbaa
mere want of literary taste :

' " A pompoUB and gaudy atyle la exceedingly oat of plaea whaa

Whatever other cbargea Mr. Oilflllan's critics may bring
against him, he certainly cannot l)e accused of indolenca,
as, in addition to his professional duties, he contribntaa Is
no less than lire or six periodicals. It is no slight tarn-
mendation — but one to wbioh he may justly lay slaim—
that a high moral purpose, a kindly spirit, and a hearty
appreciation of the good, the right, and the true, are pro-
minent cbarncteristica of his writings. It will !» seen,
fh>m a glance at the accompanying tables of contents of
the Galleries of Literary Portraits, that Mr. Oilfillan has
been by no means partial in his selection of subjects, bat
has employed his pencil upon representatives of almostiU
classes of opinion, both in church and state:

Gill, Alexander, D.D., 15S7-1642, son and snecessor
of the preceding, educated at Trin. Coll., Oxf., became
head master of SL Paul's School in 1635. Whilst usher
of St. Paul's he had' charge of the education of John Mil-
ton, who was his favourite scholar, and by whom he waa
g;reatly beloved. Three of the great poet's familiar letters
to him in Latin, still extant, are " replete with the strongest
testimonies of esteem and friendship. Milton also pays
him high oompUmenta on the excellence of his Latin
poetry."

Most of fait Latin poetry waa pub. in a vol. entitled
Poetiei Conatna, 1632, 12mo, and Wood enumerates some
other productions of his, printed, and in MS. He was for
some time usher under the famous Thomas Famaby. See

Gill, John, D.D., 1697-1771, a Baptist divine of great
learning, a native of Kettering, Northamptonshira, received
bis aarly education at tho Orammar School of his native
town, hut may be said to be self-educated, as he left school
whilst yet very young. He was a preacher, first at Higbam-
Feirers, then at Kettering, and in 1719 became pastor of
the Baptist congregation at Horselydown, Southwark,
where he continued for fifty-one years. Whilst yet a mere
boy, be was ao fond of fyeqnenting the bookstores that it
became a cnrrent expression, " Such a thing is as sure as
John Oill is in the bookseller's shop." We need not there-
fore be tniprised that he became an excellent Latinist,
Orecian, and Orientalist. He wrote many works, some of
tile principal of which we proceed to notice.

'* Is often happy in the choiee of words«ad phrases, and pafr

to have been wanting in any thing to make this work a worthy
companion of the modem histories in the same language but a

The fairest advice which we can offer to the intelligent
reader is that he should read the articles pro and eon, and
then examine the work for himself.

(1854) in course of publioation by Longman, 30. Leipsic
Campaign, 1852, 12mo. It is nnneooasary, after auch a
long catalogue of worka, following each other in rapid
raecession, to say that Mr. Gleig is a Teiy popular writer.
Without entering into any detailed examination of hia
merits or demerits^ we cannot aToid entering a protest
against his zealous advocacy of one of the moat unscru-

Euloua, cruel, and remorseless wretches who erer disgraced
nmanity in general, and tbe British name in particular —
Warren Hastings. Mr. Qleig's Life of Hastings forms a
proper companion to Abbott's Life of Napoleon. We can
aay nothing more condemnatory of both. To prove that
yn "do well to be angry" with the Chaplain-Qeneral's re-
markable prodnotion, entitled The Memoirs of Warren
Hastings, we shall fortify our position by a brief extract
from an eminent critic, who adda to hia multifarious eru-
dition an intimate acquaintance with Eaat India Affairs :

**Tbls book seema to have been msDufactured In pnnaaooe of a
contract by which the repreeentAtlves of Warren Hastings, on tbe
one part, bound tbemsalves to nii-nlvh papers, and Mr.01el](, on
tbe otber part, bound bimaelf to furnish pniias. It is but Just to
•ay that tas ooTenanta on both sides liave been most liilthfaUy
kept; and tbe result is before us in the form of three big bod vo-
lame% fall of andigseted oorrespondeoce and uDdiscemtng pane.
;yrie. If it were worth while to examine this performance in
letall, we could easily make a long article, by merely pointing out
tnacenrate statements, inelegant expresaions, and immoral doe-
trines. Bnt it would be Mis to waste criticism on a booltmaker:
and, whatever credit Mr. Olelg may liave justly earned by former
works, it is as a bookmaker, and nothing more, that lie now somes
before us. More eminent man than Ur.GleIg havewritten nearly
as ill as he, when they have stooped to similar drudgery. It would
be nnjnst to eatlmats Ooldsmllh by the Hlstoiy ofOrseee, or Seott
by tbe Ufo of Napoleon. Mr.aiefg Is neither a Qoldsmlth nor a
Eoott; but It would be nnjnst to deny that he is capable of some-
thing better than tbsee memoirs. It would also^ we hope and
heller^ be nrOnst to charge any Christian minister with tbe guUt
of deliberately maintaining some propositions which we find In
this work. It Is not too much to say, that Mr. Olelg has written
several passsges, which bear the same relation to tbe Prince of
UaefahtveUi that tbe Prince of Harblavelll bears to tbe Whole Duty
Qt Man, and which would excite amasement In a den of robbem,
oronboardofasehoooerofalratea But we are willing to attribute
these offences to haste, to tnoughtleasnesa, and to tluit disease of
the understanding which may be called the Furor Siograpliiciu.

tlve Ignorance of Nott, and the empty pretence of QUddon, are
^own up, and tbeae men are left without much to boast oL
Agaesia does not, with hia hasty and crude conclusloni, flgnre to

neoeasity, the reputation of Morion Is damaged . . . Where are
the * Types of Mankind* now? Sinking lower and lower. . . . The
Presbyterian Quarterly Beriew Sir September [IBM] contains an
able and searching review of the *l>pos of Mankind,' reoently
ushered to the worid by Measn. OUddon and Nott It la at ones
faistmetlve and amusing to see these gentlemen under the dia-
soctlnf-knift of a scholar, who not only eapoaes the malignity of
their shallow sdenoe, but their utter nnfltnees In point of scholar-
ship to dabble in the original languages of the &:riptures. Mr.
Ollddon, especklly, pretends to a eritfeal acquaintance with the
Hebrew text, and bu pretension might have passed current had
he not ventured on proob of his critical acumen ; but alas Ibr
Um ! he has written a book which has enabled his learned readers
to detect his miserable shallowness. . . . Our own estimate of ttie
'Types of Mankind' has already been laid before our readers. A
fOrtner ezamlDatlon of the book has only tended to conllnn our
first Impressions. As a work of sdenoe it is worthless; fnll of pre-
tonslott, and yet fnil of ignorance and contradletlon.**— Ltmax

'Mt did not take long to satis^ ourselves that Mr. OUddon's
axposition of Genesis xL, being a oomnllation without complete-
ness, arrangement, or any philoeophical method wbatever, has no
elalm to be regarded as a literary work It la not to our taste or
inclination to rest content with condemning Mr. Gliddoo's lucu-
brations in general terms. To express our sense of their character,
we can find no epithets which have not lost their force trvim his
profuse misapplication of them. Our duty requires ns to enter
bito partlcnlan to refute his arguments, if such his sasertlons
may be called, lW>m A to Z, as he la mistaken all through. It la
a humiliating task, to be sure, to refute a work, which, to every
Hebraist, carries its own refutation on the Cue of every pace.** —

ferenoe to the flippant sneers whieii some controrersialista
obtrude into diaonuions upon the trntli of the Scriptures :

" We must confess, however, that we have never, in the whole
extent of our reading, met any thing which, in this reapeet, is so
etfensive to good taste and to the flnt principles of Inductive
Phlloaophy, as the elaborate work recently given to the world
Bndsr the title of Ttparf MankimL Written under the inflo-
enee of avowed pr^lndloee against oertain races of men, and de-
aeendlng to the use of caricatura in order to bring them into dis-
repute^ it stops at hardly any thing which can east reproach on
Scripture. No jests are too coarse, no revllings too bitter or con-
temptuona, no special pleading too perverse. It is moumfnl to
^kl that such names as those of Morton and Agassli are destined
to go down to posterity sssodated with sndi unseemly exhl-
bltiona of spite and intolerance. A oenota^ to Morton, one of
the calmest and most dignified phlloeophera that any age or
eonntry has seen, should he stained by no scurrility, defluned by
ao violence. It is an Insult to his memory to suppose that lie
eonid have desired his unpubliahsd writings to be given to the
world. In close connection with an attack on the Bible the ma-
levolenoe of which Is only equalled by its impotence." — ^^ndtte-

Glover, Richard, 1712-1785, a native of London,
and a merchant of that eity, was one of the best Greek
scholars and most famons poets of his day. He wu edu-
cated at the school of Cheam, in Surrey, and whilst thero
wrote, in his 16th year, his poem to the memory of Sir
Isaac Newton, appended by Dr. Henry Pemberton, in
1728, to his View of Newton's Philosophy. In 1760
Olorer Iwoame a member of Parliament, and for many
yean enjoyed considerable political influence. 1. Leoni-
daa; a Poem, Lon., 1737, 4to; 1738, 8vo. It passed
through 4 eds. in 1737-38. 5th ed., extended f^om 9 to 12
books, 1770, 2 vols. 12mo. With plates, 1798, 2 vols. 8vo.
New ed., 24mo. This poem — now almost entirely neg-
lected— which celebrates the defence of Thermopylse, waa
enthusiastically applauded, Iwth for its poetry and politic! :

"Tbe whole plan and purpoee of It being to show the superi-
ority of fi'eedom over slavery ; and bow much virtue, public spirIL
and tbe love of liberty are prelbrable, both in their nature and

8. The Atheniad; a Poem, 1787, S voli. 12mo. TUl la
a eontinuation of Leonidaa.

" The Atheniad ought always to aocompany tbe Zmttfilas. Mr.
Chalmara censures i^ because, he says, the events of histoiy ara
BO dosdy followed as to give the whole the air of a poetical chro*
nicle. To thla opinion we may oppoae the tact of having onraelvee
repeatedly perused it In earW youth, ibr tha interest which the
story contiaually excited, ulover endeavoured to imitate tha
ancients, but wanted strength to support the severe style which
he had chosen. He has, however, many and great merita; this
especially among others,' that instead of treading In the sheep-
track wherein the wrltera of modem epics, till his time, Mrenm
wciM, bad gone one after the other, ha named the stories of both
bis poems scoording to their snl^jeet, without reference to any
model, or any rule but that of propriety aad good sense." — Lon.
Qwr. Bn., xL 4M, 4IM.

" His iemiiku aeqnired extraordlnair popularity In its day, and
appears, like tht fsend»Osskn, to have obtained a higher, or, at
least, a more lasting, reputation on the continent, than In Ita own
conntary; where, however, it still retalna Ita rank as an English
classic. . . . The AtJkauad was intended as a eeqnd to LtonUbUy and
embraoaa the remalndar of the Persian war, fVom the death of
Leonidaa to the battle of Plataa. It vraa the work of tbe authoi^
old age, and ita defects are, in part, attributable to the circum-
stance of ita not having received hia flniahing hand. In this
latter performance, acconlingly, tbe abilities of the author shew

Ives mote matured, and bis peculiar properties more fully
daveloped."— Zea. MdriMp. Sn., U. 10»-U3, 1820.

In 1813, 8vo, waa pub., from a Diary or part of a Diary,
written by Glover, Memoirs of a distinguished LiL and

the Proridence, B. Island, Oasette; in 1767 ha established
the Pennaylrania Chronicle, Phila. ; in 1778 ha commenced
the Maryland Journal at Baltimore, which he relinquished
in 1792, and anbaequeotly resided in Bhode Island. He waa
at one time oonneoted with the publication of Parker's
Journal in New York. An interesting account of Goddard
will be found in Thomas's Hist, of Printing. Eia claim to
a place in oar rolame is founded on the faot of his having
pub. a Hist of the Penn. Chronicle, 1770. He married a
Hiss Angell, of ProTidance, and the name of the lady sug-
gested to a fHand of the groom the bon mot that Qoddard

Godwin, Harr Wollstomeeraft, 17S9-1797, a a»-
tive of London or its vicinity, was the daoghtar of a pamm
who was alternately a tradesman and a farmar, withoat
much profit from either occupation. There seems to bara
been an entire absence of all proper discipline in the hoaaa-
faold of this vacillating individual, and to this ftet ia doubt-
leiia to be imputed the beginning of many faolla exhibited
in Mary's wayward career. After residing for soma tima
as a companion to a lady at Bath, in 1783, assisted by her
two sisters and a friend, she established a day-aohciol at
Islington ; but in a few months removed her leminaiy to
Newington Oreen.

A trip to Lisbon in torruptod her professional dutiae, and ofe
her return she aliandoned the school, and accepted the aitaa-
tion of a governess in the family of Lord Kingaborovcht
where she remained until 1787. In 1786 she pub. Thovgats
on the Education of Daughters, which was foUowad hf
Mary, a fiction ; Original Storiee tnm Real Ufa ; the Fa-
male Reader; trans, and abridgments of Salxmsui'a fila-
ments of Morality, Lavatar's Physiognomy, Ac. ; asid aona
articles in the Analytical Review. In 1791 she aoqaiiwd
considerable notoriety by the publication of hear Answer
to Burke's Refleetions on the French Revolntion, aad bsgr
Vindication of the Rights of Women. She noir aaized a
good deal in literary sooiety, and, unaccustomed to reatrmia
any feeling which happened to \» uppermost, elteiriahod aa
attachment for Fuseli, the artist, who was already uuarriad
and very properly disconroged the advances of Iiia entha-
siastic admirer. Disgusted with the world, and periiapB
with herself, Miss WoUstonecraft left England, asid ia 179SI
we find her in France, where she ibrmed an aUiKaio»— not
of .Xfae most irreproachable character — with Mr. Issalay, aa
American. She was now gerfeotly satisfied, or pinfa— il
to be so; but Mr. Imlay was not: ho abandonad her ta
loneliness, and in her despair she made two attempta opaa
her own life. An acqnaiatanoe with Mr. WiUiani Oedaiin,
soon to lie noticed in our work, restored her to ls«r fona^
equanimity ; and this acqaaintenoa — in aoeordanee arith Iha

Godwin, William, 1756-1836, a native of Wise-
beach, Cambridgeshire, where his father was a dissenting
minister, was educated at the Dissenting College, Hozton,
where be remained for above five years, under the tuition
of Doctors Rees and Kippis. In 1778 Oodwin became
minister to a dissenting oongregation near London, and
soon afterwards took charge of a meeting-boose at Stow-
market, Suffolk. In 1782 he determined to relinquish the
ministry and seek a livelihood by the use of his pen, and
accordingly he removed to London as a permanent resi-
dence. For the particulars of his social life, we mnst
refer the reader to the detailed aoconnt pub. in the Lon-
don Oent Mag. for June, 1836, shortly after his decease.
This account is principally derived from a sketch, bio-
graphical and critical, prefixed to the novel of Caleb
Williams, pub. in Bentley's Standard Novels. We need
only remark, here, that in 1797 be became the husband
of a woman of notoriously bad character — Mary Woll-
stoneoraft (see ante) — with whom he had previously lived
on disreputable tenns, and after her death waa again
married. He was once principal conductor of the New
Annual Register, for a time a bookseller, fVeqnently a
member of distinguished literary circles, and always a
lover of letters. His few laat years were rendered inde-
pendent by an appointment to the sinecure office of Yeo-
man Usher of the Exchequer. He had considerable abili-
ties, little judgment, and less wisdom ; and in his eflTorta
for reform lacked that foundation wittiont which all such
attempts are hopeless — a recognition of man's moral de-
pravity, and the neoessity of maintaining a constant sense
of strict accountability to his Maker. We proceed to
notice his publioationi:

*■ The Influence of the work I can myself remember. In any
ordinary state of the world It moat liave iUlen UMeas baa. the
press : highly metaphysical, continually mnninc into general al>-
■tiaetloni^ Into dlsqulsltloiis, never ending stul beginning, no-
thing waa ever Jess iltted to attract a reader tlian tms repnidve
Inqmry concerning Politleal Justice; and if tbe state had not
been out of joint, moat eaansedly soaree a reader would have been
ftrand. Borne years after, wlun the snoceai of the work had been
eetabllshed,lir. Burke was aaked whether he had eeen It. 'Why,
yea, I bare seen It,' was the answer, ' and a mighty stupld-looklng
took it is.' Ho two words eonld better have deacribed it The
hte excellent BIr Samuel Romilly, who had tlieo lelsare to read
every thing, told a friend who had never beard of it, that there
bad Jaat appeared a book, by flur the most absurd that had ever
come within his knowledge, (this wsa the work of Godwin;) and
Mrs. Bsrbauld, who at length, by the progress of Its doctrines,
was compelled to look at it, declared, that what was good in the
book was cidefly taken fhnn Hume; and that it was 'borrowed
sense, and original nonsense.* ... It Is no longer possibie, I
ttabik, to reed the book : the world is now in a more settled state,
and people no longer make ' inquiriea concerning political Jnattoe,
and ita inflnence on morals and happiness,* sooordlng to the title
of his book. I will tberefon endeavour to give you some general
notion of tbe leading principles of the work, In the isoat soimIsb
manner I am able.

^Tbm perusal of this title excited no small surprise In our critical
fivtemlly. The antbenticatsd passages of Chaucer's life may be
oomprieed In half a dosen pages ; and behold two volomlnoas quar-
to* I ... We baTS said that Mr. Godwin had two modes of wire-
drawing and prolonging his narratiTsi The first 1^ aa we bare
aeen, by hooking in the description and history of every thing
tiaat existed upon earth at the same time with Cbaucer. In thfi
kind of comnMtlon, we nsnally lose sight eaUrely of the proposed
■ntdeet of Mr. Godwin's lucubrations, tmrelUng to Borne or Pales'
«lzw with as little remorse as If poor Chaueer had nerer been men-
tfoned In the title-page. The second mode is eoostderably more
fxi|;enious, and consists in making old OeoOkvy aoeompany the

Goldsmith, Oliver, November 10, 1723-April 4,
1774, one of the most distinguished ornaments of English
literatare, was a native of the village of Pallas, Pallice, or
PiUlasmore, in Leinster, Ireland, county of Longford, 1(
miles 8. E. of Ballymahon. The character of his excellent
father — the Rev. Charies Goldsmith, a clergyman of the
Established Chnroh, holding the living of Kilkenny
West — has been so well described by his son in the cha-
racters of The Man in Black in The Citisen of the World,
The Preaoher in the Deserted Village, and Doctor Prim-
rose in the Vicar of Wakefield, that no other portraiture
can be needed nor should be tolerated. The good man
lived to see five sons and two daughters snrronnding the
family board before he was called to his rest, which event
occurred in the year 1740. His son Henry followed bis
calling, and his example and his virtues have been com-
memorated, in lines which the world will never " let die,"
by the same pen which depicted the amiable obaracteristios
of the " Village Preacher." He who can peruse without
emotion the impassioned burst of fervent gratitude and
tender remembranoe with which the houseless wanderer
celebrates his brother's kindness and his brother's peace-
ful home has but little claim to the better feelings of our
nature:

■'Remote, unfriended, melaneholy, slow,
Or by the lasy Scheldt or wandering Po;
Or onward, where the rude C&rlnthlan boor
Against the houseless stranger shots the door;
Or where Campania's plain forsaken Ilea,
A weary waste expanding to the skies;
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart, nntrareli'd, fondly turns to thee.
8tUl to my brother turns with ceaseless paliL
And drags at each remove a length'nlng cham.
Btemal bleeaiugs onwn my earliest friend.
And round his dwelling guardian saints attendl
Blest be that spot where eheerAil gnsets retirs
To ]iansa Ihan tdl, sad trim the err'nlng Are ;
Blest that abode, where want and pain repair.
And ev'ry stranger finds a ready chair;
Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty ciown'd,
Where all the mddy fkmllv around
Isingh at the jests or pranks that never ft]].
Or sigh with pity at some moumfnl tale;
Or press the bsshfni stranger to his food.
And learn the luxury of doing good.
But me, not destln'd snch delights to share,
My prime of life In wand'ring spent and can^
Impeird with stens unceasing to pnrene
Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view ;
Thst like the dide bounding earth and sklss.
Allures ftom fkr, yet as I follow, files ;
Hy flirtune leads to traverse realms alone,
And find no spot of all ths world my own."

readily forgiven. Perhapa there oonld be no better in-
troduotion to a biography of Oliver Goldsmith. The
warmth of his affections, the tenderness of his heart his
roving propensities and vacillation of mind, are all here
presented to the reader in the poet's happiest and most
graphio style.

At the age of six years Oliver was placed under charge
of the village sohoolmaster, Thomas Byrne, a retired
quartermaster of an Irish regiment who aeema to have
expended many of the houra which should have been de-
voted to inatmetion, in recitals of military adventnrea, in

Little Oliver waa interrupted in bia atndiea under Mr.
Bvme by an attaek of the small-pox, the signature of
which he bore legibly inscribed on bis face for the rest
of hia life. Upon hia recovery, he was placed at school,
first at Elphin, in RoscommoUj then at Atblone, and sub-
sequently at Edgewortbatown. It waa whilst attending
the seminary at Elphin, boarding meanwhile at bia uncle's,
John Ooldsmith, that be displayed hia juvenile wit by a
oelebiated epigram, which has been oarefhlly preserved by
all the poet's biographers. During an evening party at
his nncle'a, when the gueata were engaged in the maaea of
the dance, Oliver, — then only nine years old, — diapoaed to
oontribute hia abare to the amoaementa of the evening,
nndertook the exeention of a hornpipe, which was pro-
bably performed with more seal than eleguoe. The mn-
■ielan of the party, who waa mora forcibly impreaaed with
the awkward form and pitted faoa of the Juvenile Athlete
than with hia Ternaiohoraan proficiency, raised a laugh at
hia expense by eidling him hia little iBaop. But Oliver
toon turned the lan^ upon hia aaaailant by the retort:

" Our herald hath piodalmed thia ai^ug^
See jSEsop dandng, and hia monkey puying."
A large portion of the ezpensea of Oliver'a early adnea-
tion waa defrayed by hia kind-hearted uncle, the Bev.
Thomas Contarine, who waa at all times one of hia moat
devoted and generous friends.

On the 11th of June, 174S, Oliver entered Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin, as a siiar, under the tntorahip of the Rev.
Theaker Wilder, i^m whose petty tyranny the youth suf-
fered ao acutely that at times his life waa an admoat in-
tolerable burden. In our life of Edmund Burke we have
noticed the faot that he was a oon temporary at ooUege
with the subject of the present article. The poor siaar
did not display either that genius or that application which
gains collegiate dialinotions, but he waa so fortunate on
one occasion as to secure one of the minor prizes, the
value in money of which was about thirty ahillinga.

"Thia turn of Bacoeaa and sudden Influx of wealth proved too
much for the head of our poor student lie forthwith gave a sup-
per aod dance at his chamber to a number of young persona of

Mortified beyond meainre at this inglorious termination
to the erening'a festivitiea, and ashamed to meet either the
eompanions of bis studies or of bis feasts, Qoldamitb left
ooUege the next day in a state of high disgust, determined
to seek bis fortunes in some land "beyond the flood,"
where he might hope to prosper by the exercise of his in-
dnstaty or of his wits. He lingered in Dublin until all bis
money was spent save a solitary shilling, and, when that
was gone, several of his garmenta followed, until, at last,
hnngry and half-naked, he waa saved fWim starvation,
when on hia way to Cork, by a bandfiil of gray peas given
him by a country-girl at a wake. He never forgot his
humble benefactor. Poor fellow ! he hod fasted for twenty-
four houra when thia aeasonable relief was accorded to
him; and long afterwards, when applauded in the world
of fashion and an honoured guest at great men's leaats,
ha declared to Sir Joshua Reynolds that of all the ex-
quisite meats be had ever tasted that handful of gray peaa
was the most delicious.

By the kind ofllces of his brother Henry, he was again
placed at college, where he lamained for nearly two years
longer. Feb. 27, 1749, he waa made Bachelor of Arts, and
turned his back upon his Alma Hater without the lose of
many taais. It waa now incumbent on him to aeleot a
profeaaion, and ha waa induced by bia kind but injudicious
nncle Contarine to become an applicant for holy orders.
The two years of probation were passed in a desultory
manner, often in amnsemenU not iJtogelher of tha moat
elerieal chanotar; and when, at tha aga of tweaty-thraa,

of the Bishop of Elphin, he was promptly rejected:

** He waa intended for the church, and want to the Bldxn of
Klphln to be exambisd *» ordsia, but, appaariiu In a jmr ^
aurlct }in«lut, he waa rejected."— Dr. A. Stntaii LOItr.

But o^er reasons are urged for tha prelate's rejection
of the application. His sister tells us that tha bishop
thought him too young; another version is that his babiU
were known to be nn suited to the gravity of the profat-
slon to which he sought admittance. CartMn it u that
the chnreh lost nothing by the bishop's refusal It Is
possible to weaken an army by ineresising its numben;
and suflb a clergyman aa Qoldamith would in all pro-
bability have proved would hare done little to adranoa
the cause which he professed to espouse. The eanilidate
was not heart-broken by the bishop's daoiaion :

" For the oleiiealpratestCB,'' says hia alatar, Mil. Hodaoa, «hs
had no liking."

Oood old nnela Contarine was sadly disaj^ointed, but
relaxed nothing in his efforts to serve bis wayward nephew.
He soon procured him employment as a tutor in the fiunDy
of Mr. Flinn; but this situation was lost in oonaeqaenceof a
quarrel between the preoeptor and one of the fiunily over
a game of cards. Oliver left Mr. Fltnn's with what seemed
to him an almost fkbulous amount of money — no lass
than thirty pounds; but even this amount, vast aa it
was, was not proof against the repeated demands to which
die owner subjected it, and In six weeks he returned to
his mother's bouse at Baliymahon without a shilling in
his pocket, and on the back of a steed of mndi hnmUer
appearance than the one which shortly before carried in
triumph the happy owner of thirty ponnils sterling. Part
of this sum, indeed, had bean expended in the purchase
of a passage to America; bot, aa the pasaeager wrt on an
exenrsion in the country when the wind served in die
harbour of Cork, the captain " never inquired after him,
bat sat nil with as much indifference as if he had been on
board."

How mneh depended npon that countiy exenrsion!
What would have been the history of the author of tha

tion.

We hare often thought that a noit interesting narra-
tive might be compiled of the real and supposed lives pf
the afterwards great men who at one time or other in-
tended settling in America, As a colonist, Cromwdl,
" guiltless of his country's blood," would hare passed his
days in the nsefhl pursuits of agriculture or commer« ;
and Edmund Burke would have contributed to the legis-
lative sagacity and oratorical splendour which so proudly
distinguished the first American Oongreas. John Hamp-
den would not have been stigmatised by the great Claren-
don as the modem Cinna; aad the ruthless ambition of a
Bonaparte would have been resisted by a spirit mightier
than bis own. But these are speculations : let ua return
to facta. What sbonld be done now for the improvident
youth who had already so sadly disappointed those who
had striven beyond their meana to advance his fortanaa?
To be disoonraged in hia efforts for poor Oliver bdongsd
not to the kind-hearted Contarine. If Oliver would be
neither a clergyman nor a tutor, the law was still opan,
and here his abilities would at once command success^
To plan and to do was the same with the good man; aad
he soon had nearly the sum of fifty pounds, — a large nm
for his oironmstanoes, — which he plaoed in OUrer'a haodi
and diamissed him with his benadiation. With this capital
the young man must manage until ha had aeeored a foot,
ing which should place him in a poaitloii to earn hia own
bread. But, alas 1 the attraetions of a gaaaing-table were
too strong for his virtue; he was pennaded to risk hit
whole capital, with the encouragement that it would be
doubled ; but, aa might have been anticipated, hia money,
with the exception of a few ahillinga, pamsed into the poa-
aession of hia daagaroos aoqnaiataneas, and ha waa again
a mined man.

Ooldsmith's mental agony was now indeed great Hew
unworthy had he proved himself of the kiirinesi of bis
friends, espeeially of that uncle and brother who had

heart of that good aael* townnJi th« repmtnnt prodigal.
"When he wiu yet a great way off," ho was ready to ran
forth to meet htm, to " fall on his neck," and again "kill for
bim the fatted calf." He took him in his own bouse, made
him exhibit his talents in the long winter evenings by lite-
Tary diseassions, and, when his daties called him away,
was delighted to tee his daughter tnrn entertainer to the
poor ontoasty and join the music of her harpsichord to the
notes of big flute. Not satisfied with this, he again anx-
iously considered bow he could best promote his advance-
ment in the world ; and a hint which fell from the great
man of the family — Dean Qoldsmith, of Cloyne, then on a
Tisit to the worthy pastor — was sufficient to cause him
again to tax his narrow purse for further supplies for
Oliver.

If neither the Church, the tutor's chair, nor tho bar,
were to afford a field for the exercise of his nephew's abili-
ties, he should be a doctor of medicine ! Many hod at-
tained a large and profitable practice who had started as
late in life as Oliver : why could not Oliver do the same ?
At least, the experiment should be tried. Behold, (heo,
our adventurer again starting, in the autumn of 1752, to
try his fortune in the world.

Arrived in Edinburgh, he soon became famous in the
•oeial circles of that city as a teller of good stories and
■inger of Irish songs. But his eighteen months of resi-
'denoe here were not thrown away. He was too apt a
■eholar to be nnprofitcd by the excellent lectures to which
lie listened and the chemical experiments in which he took
apart.

He now determined to visit the continent, that he might
enjoy opportunities of completing his medical studies
•nd gratify a taste for travelling, which was one of his
•trongest propensities. Uncle Contarine's purse was al-
ways ready, and to it the student again bad recourse.
Tet it is to be recorded, to his credit, that bis economy
was stringent, that bis applications might be as few and
as moderate as it was possible to make them. His grati-
tude, too, to his generous benefactor was deep and nn-
feigned:

** Let me acknowledge," he writes to him, when advlslna him
of Intended akaence, " the hnmUity or the station la which yon
Ibnod me; let me tell you how 1 wss despised by most and hate-
fysl to myself. Poverty, hopeless poverty, wss my lot, and Melan*
ekoly was beginning to make me her own. When yoo ..."

■* Thou best of men," be exclaims In anotlisr letter, written from
Lsyden, " may Heaven guard and praserve yon and those yon
level"

With this benediction, so richly deserved, we may take
onr leave of good Uncle Contarine, who breathed his last
before his nephew, whom he had so dearly loved and for
whom he had done so much, had attained that celebrity
and prosperous fortune which no one would have r^oiced
in more than himself. Hay the memoiy of that good man
ever be fresh in the world's history !

Arrived at Leyden, Ooldsmith seems to bare deroted
tome attention to the pursuit of knowledge, gaining, mean-
while, a precarious subsistenoe by acting as tutor, and
sometimes winning, but generally losing, by the gaming-
table. In February, 17SS, he left Leyden for the purpose
of ttavelling on foot through Europe. His wardrobe, furni-
ture, and finances, amounted exactly to " a guinea in bis
poeket, a shirt on his back, and a flute in bis hand."

The manner in which he " disputed his way through
Karope" by accepting univenity challenges, and gained
many a night's lodging by the notes of his flute, are too
wall known, and have been too beantifnlly described by
himself, to Justify us in dwelling npon them here :

** Whenever I approached a psasani's house towards nlghtftU,
1 played one of my most merry tunes, and that procured me not
only a lodging, but suhsbtaoos br the next day."— rioo- qf Wikt-

Whilst abroad, either at Padna or at Lonrain, he took
his degree of Bachelor of Medicine. On the 1st of Febrn-
aiy, 17M, Ooldsmith landed at Dover, wiser in experienae,
hot more destitate in pocket, than at any former period
of Ui lift. Ha made bis way to London ; and hers starva-
tion ilarad bim in the fkoe. In rain he begged for a situa-
tion a* a eompounder of prsseriptions or as an errand-boy

41

tainad a iitnation as shop-tender with a chemist of the
name of Jacob, where be remained nntil, by the aid of an
old fellow-student, — Dr. Sleigh, — he was enabled to set
up, in an humble way, as a physieian among the poorer
classes. Prosperity did not smile npon his new vocation,
but incidentally it opened the way to a better business.

He had a patient — a printer's workman — who bad per-
ception enough to discern that the doctor was himself the
victim of a terrible malady — nothing less than consuming,
soul-corroding poverty. The poor man had learned benevo-
lenee of his employer. He told Goldsmith that bis master
bad a kind heart, and l)efore this had relieved distress; —
would he not let him speak a word for him ? The Idnd
offices of his bumble patient were not in rain ; and iMhoId
the quondam physician installed as reader and corrector of
the press to Samuel Richardson, the author of " Clarissa."

About the beginning of 1757, (unless we adopt the earlier
date assigned by Mr. Allport,) he obtained a situation as
usher in the academy of Dr. Milner, at Peckbam, and was
still in this hnmble employment — the mortification of
which be has so well described in the person of George
Primrose — when be was engaged by Griffiths as a stated
oontributor to The Monthly lUview. An agreement was
made for one year, and Goldsmith moved bis scanty ward-
robe to the house of Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths. It is not
without reason tliat we mention the latter : she was quite
as much master of the house as her husband was, and
ruled the poor contributor with so despotic a sway that at
the end of five months he was glad to cancel bis engage-
ment.

From this time until the a|ipearance of bis first work
of any pretensions, with the exception of another trial at
oshsrship in Dr. Miiner's school, Goldsmith earned a
scanty subsistenoe as a hack-writer, with a ready pen
always at the disposal of those who were able to pay a few
shillings or a few pounds, as it might be, for the desired
article. A Life of Voltaire and an unfinished tragedy
are among the labours of this period. The disappoint-
ment of his hopes of a lucrative medical post at Core-
mandel, and his rejection by the College of Surgeons,
added to the bitterness of bis melancholy loL

The Inquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning
in Europe was pub. by Dodsicy in April, 1750, 12mo. It
appeared without the writer's name, but the authorship
was no secret. Kenrick's savage attack upon the new
work was worthy of the base character of the man. The
Inquiry was not without merit, though perhaps not entitled
to the unqualified commendation of the learned. To quote
the language of one of the author's late biographers : —

" In the present day, when the whole field of contemporary
literature Is so widely surveyed and amply discussed, and wbsn
the current pioductloni of erery conntry are constantly collated
and ably criticised, a treat Ise like that of Goldsmith would be cou-
sldered as extremely limited and noMtlsiictary ; but at that time
It possessed novelty In Its vievi and wldeness In Its scope, and,
being Indued with the peculiar charm of style Insepaiabla from
the author, It commanded public attention and a profitable sale."
— Atuv's W' <tf OJIdnnitk.

Goldamitb's next literary undertaking was The Bee, a
weekly periodical, pub. on Satordays, the first number of
which appeared on tbe Ath of Ootober, 17&V, and the eighth
and last on the 29th of November. It possessed excellence
of no ordinary obaracter, but failed to command support.

On the 12th of January, 1760, Mr. Newbery, the famous
publisher of ohildren's books, oommenced the publication
of The Publio Ledger, and Goldsmith contributed to it bis
celebrated Chinese Letters, which were collected and ropub.
by Newbery, at the close of 1760, in 2 vols. 12mo, under
tbe title of The Cititen of the Wortd ; or, Letters from a
Chinese Philosopher residing in London, to. his Iriends in
the East. They were commended by the British Magasine
as "light, agreeable summer reading;" and even Kenrick
was forced ^ Griffiths to make an awkward apology for bit
brutal attack on the "Inquiry" and its anthor, and oom>
mended the Chinese Letters in high terms. Some opinions
upon tbe merits of this work will be found on a later page.
The repatation of his new work caused publishers to seek
tbe aid of the anthor in rarions undertakings, and the
editorship of The Lady's Magasine, contributions to The
British Magasine, prefaces to a number of works, a revision
of a History of Mecklenburg, Newbery's Art of Poetry,
Compendium of Biography, and a Life of Bean Nash, were
among the literary labours that replenished the exhausted
coffers of The Citiien of the Worid. On tbe 3lBt of May,
1761, an event of no ordinary interest occurred to the now
rising author. This was his introduction to Dr. Johnson,
" The Great Cham of Literature," through the good offioes
of Dr. Percy, allerwards Bishop of Dromore. The strong-

Ooldsmith, notwithitaiidint hii faalte md foiUes, and tha
friendly aid which h« affordad him hj the diaposal of The
Vicar of AVakeficld, are pleasing ineidenta in the liru of
these two truly great meo. The Hoetcs amiranaim of the
Litemry Club were now partaken of by Qoldsmitb, and he
found bimiielf tbe aasooiate of men whom heratofore he
had long worshipped at a distance. Still bnaily employed
with his pen, we find him engaged on a revision of a De-
icription or Millennium Hal] and of Dr. Brookea'a Systmn
of Natural Hietoiy, additions to tbe Wonders of Natarc
and Art, contributions to The Martial Review or General
History of the late War, to the Critical and Monthly Mag»-
tines, prefaces to Unireisal History and several other
works, and a oompilation entitled A History of England,
in a series of Letters from a Nobleman to his Son. This
has passed through many edits, in Knglish, been tram, into
f rencb, and was confldentjy attriboted to Lord Chester-
field, Lord Orrery, and especially to Lord Lyttalton.
Among his many literary projects whioh were never exe-
cuted may be mentioned one, the title of which iotereets
ns not a little: A Chronological History of the Lives of
Eminent Persons in Qreat Britain and Ireland. This bock
would doubtless have been one of the most charming in
style and inaccurate in statement, one of the most delight^
ful companions and unsafe guides, in the language. It was
to be comprised in two octavo vols, of thirty-five sheets
each, to be paid for at tha rate of three gnineas a sheet,
and to be furnished in two years. But — for Dodsley weU
knew the habits of authors — the publisher stipulated that
he should be subjected to no advance until tbe work wai
completed. This was enoagk to seal its fate with Goldsmith.

He sent a proposition to Tonson to prepare for him a new
edition of the works of Pope. Tonson — not always the
most amiable of mortals — returned an impertinent answer,
and the disappointed author vented his indignation by
immediately inflicting a caning upon Tonson's unhappy
messenger.

It was in 17Ai that the well-known incident jnst referred
to occurred, — an incident so graphically described by Dr.
Johnson himself, that we cannot do better than quote hia
own language:

" I recelTiid one morning a nwesiige from poor OoldimUh that be
was In grrat distress and, as it was not in tats power to come to me,
begging that I would come to him as soon as possible. I lant him
a guinea, and promised to come to htm directly. I accordingly

On the day of the sale of The Vicar of Wakefield, the
Traveller received the last touches of the author. Johnson
bad greater hopes of tbe success of the poem than of tbe
novel ; he read the proof-sheets, substituted here and there
a line of his own, (only nine verses in all,) and immedi-
ately prepared for it a warm reception, through the medium
of the Critical Review, in a notice of his own composition.

It was published— the first production which bore his
name— December ID, 1784, and dedicated to his brother
Henry, to whom eighty of the last lines in it had been dis-
patched in a letter many years before, when the author
was a " houseless stranger" in a foreign land. The lines
inserted by Johnson were the one which now stands 420th
in the poem, and, omiuing the last eoaplet hot one, the
eight concluding lines.

The success of The Traveller was decided and iramediata
among the wits, but some time elapsed before it became a

It ' a poem to whish it would not be easy to find any thing
equal since the days of Pope." The lexicographer road it
aloud to Miss Reynolds, and tbe lady— who had recently

I We have no evidence that Goldsmith received mort thia
twenty gnineas fh>m the publisher, the elder Newbery. Bit

I the author felt that his reputation was on tbe sseendsat,

I and he ventured to leave his own quarters in Wine-O«os

j Court and removed to chambers on the library stsiressi

I of the Temple. Johnson paid him a visit shortly sfter-
wtrds, and inspected the new apartments rather eloiely;
which induced Goldsmith to exclaim, " I aball soon be ii
bettor chambers, sir, than those." " Nay, niy, sir," ■«■
sponded Johnson; "never mind that: Nii le extra ami-
verit extra." Poor Goldsmith ! did he remember thaa Ibi
miseries of Green Arbour Court, which have been w ps-
phically described by Washington Irving in bis Tslu cfs
Traveller f We shall reserve for a later page some eim-
raendatory notices of this beaatiful poem. In 17«i,s
number of his contributions to periodicals wen pab.siidar
the tiUe of Essays by Mr. Goldsmith. Many of then had

j long been favourites with the public, (though their satkor-
ship was not genornlly known,) had been reprinted msaj

I times, and claimed by several who had no title to thea.
This volume paid the author a profit of twenty giiaeas
only ; it however extonded bis reputation, was tiaaa ills
French, and is still a favourite with the public.

I ballad of Edwin and Angelina.

_ Whether Goldsmith was really the author of a fsiioM
biography which appeared in this year, of leu pretensics!,
but equal notoriety, with The Hermit,— the story of Ooedy
Two Shoes, — we shall not pause to discuss.

Towards the close of this year he raoeived fiwn Newterr
the respectable sum— judging by his former receipts— e{
aixty guineas for A Survey of Experimental Philosoplij
considered in its Present State of Improvement. He m
engaged in the completion of this work in tbe year of kit
death, and it was pub. in 1776, 2 vols. 8vo. It sboold set
be forgotten that at this period he essayed for a brief
season to resume the practice of physic ; but the experi-
ment proved both unprofitable and unpalatable, aad wtl
soon abandoned. At last appeared, March 27, I'M,
eigbtean months after its memorable sale to Newbcrj lie
younger, the novel of The Vicnr of Wakefield. The win
and critics were this time behind the public in their seds-
mations. In about two months a second edition wst de-
manded; three months lalor the third appeared, end lie
sixth was pub. in the year of the author's deatb. Iki»

tors — Little Comedy and the Jessamy Brid&— to Franee.
H« was now in the height of bis rapntation, — for two
months before he left London the town was thrown into
laptnreg by the publication of The Deserted Village, a
Poem, 4to. The 1st edit., pub. Hay 6, was immediately
•zhausted, and by the Itth of August the 6th edit was
pub. Previous to its pnblioatton the author received fl-om
the publisher a note for the price agreed upon, — one hun-
dred gnineaa. A friend remarked to Ouldsmith tbat it
was a great prioe (Ave shillings a eooplet) for so small a
poem:

«In tr««b,»said Ooldsmith, "I think so too; K Is much more
tftan the honest man can afford, or the piece Is worth. I have
BOi been easy since 1 raoelved It."

He therefore retamed the note to the publisher, and
desired bim to pay him when it should be ascertained
what the poem was worth.

We tbah reserve tbe citation of opinions upon this poem
—'Criticism is hardly a proper word for ( with one exeeplien)
vnmized and enthusiastic eulogy — for a later page.

Bat we must here refer tbe reader to Prior's Life of
Ooldsmith and Howitl's Homes and Haunts of Eminent
British Poets for graphic descriptions of The Deserted
Tillage — Lissoy — and to the article from a London peri-
odical, on the same attractive theme, quoted in Irviog's
Life of Gioldsmith. In the London Gentleman's Maga-
(ine ibr June, 1838, pp. i92, £93, will be found an inge-
nioas argument, by Hr. John Cunnington, in which it is
asserted that Springfield, near Chelmsford, England, (and
not Lissoy, in Ireland,) is entitled to the houoars which
pertain to the far-famed Deserted Village of Ooldsmith.

We miut not fail to commend that beautiful volume,

The Whigs of course detected a smack of Tory doctrine
in tbe new History, and charged the compiler with be-
traying the libei*tieB of the people. Goldsmith's defence

It was not finished and pub. until 1774. It was in this
year also that he vrrote the latest of the Essays in the

he abridged his Roman History, and wrote portions of a

the same character aa 'The Vicar of Wakefield. Fur an

1773: She Stoops to Conquer; or, Tbe Mistakes of a
Night, 8vo. The plot of this play and the incident upon
which it is founded are so well known that we shall not
repeat them. And who can forget Richard Cumberland's
graphic acoonnt of the first performance and tiiat laugh-
ing Adam Drammond, who had almost ruined the whole
aflair?

Cumberland must tell his own story, which, whether
exaggerated or true to nature, is told with admirable
effeet:

" We were not overeangnine of suceess, bat perftctly determined
to struggle hard Ibr our author. We accordingly assembled our
Btrengtoat tbe Shakspeare Tavern, In a considerable body, for an
early dinner, where Samuel Johnson took tbe chair at tb(3 head
of a long table, and was the lifu and aonl of the curpn. Tbe poet
took post silently by bla side, with the Burkes, Sir Joabua Rey-
nolds, ntsherbert, Caleb Whitefoid, and a phalanx of North
BrItUk, pcedetarmlned applaudarv, under the banner of M^for
Mills, all good men and 0*ue. Onr iUnatrioua president waa hi
Inimitable glee; and poor Goldsmith that day took all bla raillery
as patiently and oanpfaweutly as my IHend Boawell would bare
done any day or every day of hia life. In the mean time, we did
not fbrget onr duty; and though we bade better comedy goln|f,
In whidl Johnson wss chief actor, we betook ourselvee in good
tlUM to onr seoarate and allotted poats, and waited the awful
dmwing up of the eivtaln. Aa our atattona were preenneertod, ao
were our algnala for plaudits arranged and determined upon in a
manner that gave every one his cue where to look for them and
how to tallow them np.

" We had among na a very worthy and eflKdent member, long
sinoe lost to his IHends and the world at large, Adam Dmmmood,
of amiable memory, who was gifted by nature with the most
sonorous and at the same time the aoost oeotagloaa laugh that
ever echoed ftom the human Inngs. The neighing of the horse
of the son of Hyataspes was a whisper to it ; the whole thunder
of the theaira conid not drown It. This kind and tngennons
friend felrly forewarned us that he knew no mora when to give
his firs than the cannon did that was planted on a battasy. He

The Ulnstriona prmident of tbia band of Ooldamith'a
iVienda — Samuel Johnaon — thna reeorda hia judgment on
She Stoopa to Conqner :

" I know of no comedy tbr many yeara that haa ao much ezhiiaf
rated an audience; that haa anawered ao mnch the gnat end vt
dbmedy, making an audienoe merry."

Dariea remarka that the aucoeaa of thia pieoe
** Rerived &noy, wit, gayely, hnmonr, incident and chaineter,
In the plaee ci aentiment and moral preachment,"

Dsviea ia too honeat to pretend that " the theatre ia the
achool of morala," aa ia often foolUhly aaaerted. Undoabt-
edly the modem atage ia moat emphatically the aohool of
rice, and we aee not bow it can conaiateotly be eonnte-
nanced by thoae who pretend to a regard for morala, or
even ordinary decency. But upon tbia theme we hare
already diaconraed at large in our life of Jeremy Collier, }, v.
Bat we bad almoat forgotten to cite an eztrast refening
to tbia comedy from a letter of Dr. Johnaon to the late
Biabop White, for many yeara the venerable dioceian of
the Epiaoopal Church in the State of Pennaylvania:

'- Dr. Ooldimith haa a new eomedy in rehearaal at Covant Oar-
den, to which the manager [Colman] predlcta 111 aucceaa. 1 hope
he will be miataken. I think it deaerTes a kind reception."— }b
tta Jta. Mr. Whitt, [tt miadtlpltia,} Hank 4, 1T73.

And thia extract very naturally reminda ua of Biabop
(the Rev. Mr.) White'a vtait to Goldamith in 1770. Many
a fellow-oitiien of our own will tbnnk m for the good
Biabop'a account of thia memorable viait ; and we aboU not
withhold it:

" We lodged, fcr aome tima, near to one another, In Brick Court,
of the Temple. I had It intimated to him, by an aoquaintanoe of
both, that 1 wiahed for the plaaanre of making him a rtalt. It
enaoed ; and in our conTeraatlon It took a tnm which excited In
me a painful leniatlon, fWan the drcnmatance that a man of aneh
a genina ahould write for bread. Hia 'Deasrtad Tillage' came
under notice ; and some remarka were made by ua on the principle
of it — the decay of the peamntry. He aakl, that were he to write
a pamphlet on the anqfect, he could prore the point incoutro-
▼ertlbly. On hia being aaked why he did not aet bla mind to tbia,
bla anawer waa : ' It la not worth my while. A good poem will
bring me one hundred guineaa; bnt the pamphlet would bring
me no^ng.' Tbia waa a abort time before my leaving of Eng-
land, and 1 eaw the Doctor no mora."

life need hardly aay that the Biahop'a reminiaoenoea of
Johnaon are aUo exceedingly intereating.

But our readen will fear that we hare entirely loat
light of She Stoopa to Conqner :

"The dramatic powera of Goldamith — for a reatrteted RMoe
wama ua to leave a too aeductlve topic — were not perhapa of the
Tery higbeat order. Tet hia plava are a valuable aonaasion to our
Btage literature. Tbey do not flill below Cumberland or Clbber In
idol or character, while they aurpaaa the Ibrmer in llvelineaB of
humour, and the latter in preoervatlon of decorum." — PaoF. BUT-
ua: GMoTi of IVmL Jruhmen, DtM. Univ. Mag., vll. W.

" Tbe plot tuma on what may be termed a tkrcical Incident — two
partlea mlataking a gentleman'a honae for an inn. But the ex-
cellent diaerimloatlon of character, and the humonr and vivacity
of tile dialogue throughout the play, render thia piece one of the
rlehaet contrlbntiooa which have been made to modem comedy,
^e native pleaaantry and originality of Goldamith were never
more happily diaplayed."

« Aa a dramatlat, uoldamlth ta amuaiug; and if to exdto laugh-
ter be, aa Johnaon aeaerta it la, tbe chief end of eomedy, Ooldamlth
attalnait. Hia plota. however, are axtmTagant, and hia peraonama

large do«8 of JanM'a Powdsra, which greatly aggravated
his disorder. "Towarda the last It oecurred to Doctor
Turton to pat a ver; pregnant queation to hia patient.
' Your polae,' he said, ' is in greater disorder than it ahould
be, from the degree of fever whioh jon have. Is jout
mind at ease ?' ' No, it is not,' was Goldsmith's melancholy
answer. They are the last words we are to hear him atter
in this world."

And now that death had forever removed from his
familiar haunts this simpla-heartsd, affectionate man, — now
that those who had mdely sported with his harmless
eccentricities, and often made him the "butt of their
elnmsy ridicule," felt that they should see his face no
more forever, — there was unaffected grief, and hearty, per-
obaaee proStable, contrition. Nor did such alone monm
him : the glory of hia age and of the English nation, the
most illastrions statesman and orator of hia day, burat
into tears when he heard the aad news. The messenger
of death found Sir Joshua Reynolds in that studio from
wbenee had emanated so many exquisite conceptions of
the painter's genius : — but the mournful tidings took his
heart from hia work ; he folt that his " hand had lost its
cunning," laid by hia pencil — " which in timea of great
Camily diatnss" he had not been known to do — and left the
room for the day.

And there were moomers, too, of a diiferent rank of life
indeed, but those whoae lamentations were as aincere, and
their grief as heartfelt; those in whose sorrow for their
departed benefactor there is in our eyes a value of no ordi-
nary worth, as in their prayers for the living there is a
peculiar benediction. When the poor and the needy, the
outcast and the forsaken, the "mined spendthrift" and
the " aged beggar," heard that he who had out of hia own
poverty ministered to their necessities ahould greet them
no more with the voice of kindness and the word and deed
•f consolation and relief, they forgot the awful distance
which ordinarily excluded them fWim the presence of the
great, and crowded their way to his humble lodgings, re-
gardless of the presence of fashionable friends who had
come to take their " last look at poor Ooldsmith."

■■On tbe sUtrs of his afertiMnt thare was the hmentatlon of
tte old and iDflrm, and the aebUDf of women ; poor otjecta of his
chatHy, to whom he had never turned s imt e>r, eien wbea
■tmggUnK himself with poverty. . . . Monmers without a Inme^
wttbout dooMstlel^ of any kind, with no Mmi but htm they bad
aoBM to weep te; oateasts ct that neat, aoiltary, wiekad dty, to
wbea he had aevsr tegoUsa to be kind and charitable."

And the baaatifal Jessamy Bride, whom perhaps poor
Goldsmith loved more than he ever loved any other
woman, — whoae image was associated with his happiest
days on earth, — she was not absent at this hour ; the coffin
was opened at her request ; and she bore away a look of
hi* hair, whieh "she treasured to her dying day."

" ' I was abroad at tbe time of hia death,' writes Dr. McDoanell,
a youth whom when In distraaa he had employed as an amanuen-
sis, 'and I wept Utterly when the lnteIII|;eoc« first reached me.
A blank oome over my heart as If 1 bad lost one of my nearest rela-
ttveo, and was fbllowed fur some days by a feeling of despondency.' "

the event, 'there Is little to be told more than tbe papers have

The unhappy state of his alTain, thus alluded to, pre-
Tented that pompous funeral with which hia frienda pro-
posed to testify their admiration of his genius and regret
for bis loss.

He was privately interred in the burial-ground of the
Temple Church ,- but his monument in Westminster Ablwy,
dignified by the celebrated epitaph of Johnson, and not
unworthy of the pen of the disciple of Sir Thomas Browne,
arrests the steps of the contemplative stranger as he lin-
gers in the aisles of the departed great. To that epitaph
who would not be willing to add the emphatie testimony
of it* author to the geniue of its subject f — "Let not hU
Ctalts be rememliered : he was a very great man."

And now, in the calm review of the chequered life of the
aathor of the Traveller and die Deserted Village, his happy
ebildhood, his youth of snflering, his manhood of alternate
triumphs and mortiSoations, his last days of embarrass-
ment and trial, and his lonely death among strangers, nn-
attonded by one friend of his early years, who can refuse
tlie tribate of a tear to the touching lines in which the
stranger and pilgrim on the earth had breathed out his
earnest desire to die amidst the scenes of his childhood t

We still have much to tell of Goldsmith, — many illus-
trations of his eooentridties, many anecdotes of his sim-
plicity ; many evidences of his benevolence of heart ; bat
we have already extended his biography until, likeKobio
in the chnrehysrd, we are afraid to look behind us, and
oompute the space. But let those who would find fault
with UB for dwelling so long on Oliver Goldsmith turn at
once to the political economy, the commerce, tbe meta-
physics, of our volume. They are not at home here : to
quote Dr. Johnson's character of his Lichfield friend, their
" talk is of bullocks." And, now that we have banished
IVom our little company thoae who cannot sympathise with
the enthusiasm of which we are not ashamed and for whioh
therefore we offer no excuse, let us return to the contempla-
tion of a character whioh we eannot bat warmly love, even
whilst unable at all times to commend.

The faults of Goldsmith, like the faults of other men, are
neither to be denied nor excuaed. His improvidence, hit
fondness for games of chance, and hia want of high moral
and religioua tone, are deeply to be deplored ; but that
genuine and ever-Sowing benevolence of heart which few
have equalled, and perhaps none excelled, calls for our
unmixed admiration and hearty esteem. Of this amiable
trait we could produce many inatanoes; — taking the blankets
from his own bed to cover a poor woman and her helpless
children ; leaving a gay party in the midst of hia amuse-
ments, or his bed in the dead of night to relieve a poor
creature in the street ; pouring out his hard-earned pro-
fits like water to supply destitnte authors with the eomfortf
of life; spending the wages of an usher's servitode in gin-
gerbread for the children and alms for those who lacked
bread ; — bat we must be content with the tonching narra-
tive of one scene, which George Coiman has himaelf told
ao well that we shall not attempt to tell it for him :

" I was only five years old wben Uddsmitb look me on bis knsik
while he was drinking coffee, one evening, with my &ther, and
began to play with me ; vhlch amiable act I returned with the
Ingratitude of a peevish brat, by giving hlffl a very smart slop on
the face ; It mnst have been a tloglor, fbr It left the marks oi my
little apltefol paw upon hia cfaeek. This Infantile outrage was
fbllowed by summary Juatlce, sod I was locked up by my Indl^
nant flither In an staining room, to undergo aollta^ Imprlaon*
ment In tbe dark. Here I began to bowl and aeream most
abominably ; which was no bad step towarda liberation, dnoe
thoae who were not loellnad to pity me might be likely to set me
Ikee^ for the puipoee of abating a nuisance.

"At length a generous fHend appeared to extricate me fiom
ieoparly, and that genenna (Hood was no other than the man I
had ao wantonly molented by aMsnlt and battery,— It was the
tender-hearted doctor hlmaelt; with a lighted candle In bla hand,
and a smile upon his countenaaoe, which was still partially red
fhim the efleets of my petulaoce. 1 sulked and sobbed, and he
fondled and soothed, tUl I began to brighten. Ooldsmith, wbo
In regard to children was like the Village Preacher he has ao
baauUfUUy dsaerlbed,— for

■Their welfbre pleased him, and their cares distressed, * —
sdsed the propltlooa moment of returning good-humoor; ao he
put dowii the candle and began to conjure. He placed three hata^
which happened to be In the room, upon the carpet, and a shilling
under each ; the shillings, he told me, were England, France, and
Spain. 'Hey, presto, ooekolommt* cried the doctor, and, lol on
uncovering the ■hillings which had been dispersed, each beneath
a separate bat, they ware all found congregated under one. 1 was
no politician at live years old, and, tberelbre, might not have
wondered at the sudden revolution which brought England,
PTanoe, and Spain, all under one crown ; but, as 1 waa alao no
eonjnrer. It amaaed me beyond meaaure. Aatonlabment might
have amounted to awe fbr one wbo appeared to me gifted with the
power of perfonaing miracles, If the good-nature of tbe man bod
not obvlaled my dread of the magldan ; but, fhnn that time,
whenever the doctor came to viait my fhther,

' I pluek'd hia gown to share the good noa'a amDe ;'

a game at rompa eonatantly ensued, and we were alwaya eordU
fnenda and merry playMlowa. Our unequal eompanlotiahip

Lord Clare's house In the country, and ha took no more notice of
me than If 1 had been an ordinary man,' "

The laugh atbieh Burke raised at bis expense on the oeea-
tion of the risit of some foreign ladies to London is an-
other proof that the popular poet, the charming navelist,
the auoeeasfiil dramatist, and the witty essayist, was not
disposed to underrate his claims to public admiration.

It is natnral to wish to know something of the personal
appearance and social manners of those in whose worka
or charaoter we take an interest :

"In person,' says Judge Day, " he was short, about Are feet fire
or six Inches ; strong but not Imitt, In make ; ratber Silr in oom-
plexion, with brown hair; silch.st least, as could bu distinguished
ftom his wig. RIs iiaaturea were plain, but not repuIsUe,— eer
talnly not so when lighted up by comremation. Ills mannera
were simple, natural, and nerhsps on the whide, we may say. not
polished: at least withont the rrflnement and xood breeding
which the exqnUlle polish of his compositions would lead us to
expect lie was always cheerful and anluialed, onen, indeed,
boisterous In his mirth ; entered with spirit into conTlrial society ;
contributed largely to Hs enjbymants by solidity of luformadon,
and the iialretA and orlghiaUty of bis character; talked often
witbout premeditation, and laughed loudly without Ttjetralut."

**Tba Traveller has the most ambitious aim of Goldsmith's
poetical eompoaltkma. The author, placed on a height of the
AJpa, ranaea and norallaes on the countriea around him. HU
ot>|eet, it apoears, Is to show the equality of happlneaa which oob-
■Ista with diversities of drcumatanoea and situations. The poem
la, Uwnlbre, mainly didactic. Deseriptlon and reflection are sub-
aerrlent to an ethical purpose, and this purpose is never left out
of riafaL The doseriptive pauages are all vivid, but some of them
are bnperfacL Italy, for instance. In it* prominent aspeeta, is
boldly sketched. We are transported to the midst of Ita moun-
tains, woods, and temples ; we are under ita sunny akiea, we are
amboeomed In ita fruits and flowers, we breathe Its fragrant air,
and we are charmed by ite matchless landscapes; but we miss
the iofluence of Its art», and the solemn Impreaslon of Its former
grandeur. We are made to survey a nation in degeneracy and
aeeay ; but we are not relieved by the glow of RaSael, or excited
by the might of the Coliseum.'* — Uaxar Goiss: Ledura aind St-

Thb Dksbuted Village ; A Poeh :

" The Deaerted Village has an endearing localtty,and Introdnoea
oa to beings with whom the imagination ooatraets an intimate
frlendabipb Flellon in poetfy is not the reverse of truth, hut her
moti and enchanted resemblanoe : and this Ideal beauty of nature
has been seldom united with so much sober fidelity as In the
groups and aoenery of the Deserted Village." — Thomas Campbell.

"The Deaaried Village Is a poem &r inlbrior to The Traveller,
tboui^ it eontaina many beautiful paasagaa. I do not enter into
Ha pretensions to skill in political economy, though. In that raapeet,
it cootaina a strange mixture of important truths. My busIneHS
Ib with the poetry. Its lolerioritj to its pr»decessor[Tbe Traveller]
arises from Ita comparative want of compression, as well asof Ihree
aad novelty of imagery. Its tone of melaneholy is more sickly,
and aoaie <k the deaniptlona which have been moat pimlsed are
marked by all the poverty and flatsese, and ludeed are peopled
with the sort of comic and grotesque figures, of a Flemish land-
•eape." — Sik S. EoKRTorr BaTDoas : Life of Qaldamiih in Otnwra

Peserted Village, — with whiob wo imagine few readers will

"eoetbe tells the transport with which the circle he now lived
In hailed It, when they found themselves once more as Id another
belov«d Wakeflttld ; and with what seal he at once set to work to
traostete It Into German. One tribute he did not hear, and was
never conscious of; yet from truer heart or finer genius he had
none, and none tliat should have given him greatw pride. Gray
waa ptMdng the summer at Blalvam (the last Bummer of his lUe)
with Us friend Mldiolla, when the poem came out ; and he desired
Klcbolls to read It aloud to him. lie listened to It with fixed at-
tention from the bt^nnlng to the end. and then exclaimed, *!Ptat
man i$ a pnet7 ... All the duraeteristlcs of the first poein [The
Traveller] seem to me developed In the second; with as ebaata
afuipllclty, with as chain selectness of natural expraafiion. In verse
of as musical cadence; but with yet greater earnestness of pur-
pose, and a &r more human interest. . . . Within the drele of Ita
dalms and pretensions, a more entirely mUsftctory deligbtfnl poem
than the Deserted Village was probably never written. It llugera
tn the memon where ones It has entered; and such is the aoften-
Sng infloenoe (on the heart even more than the understandlnK) of
the mlid, tender, yet clear light which makes Its images so distinct
and lovely, that there are few who have not wUhed to rate It higher
than poetry (^yet higher geniua. ' What true and pretty pastoral

" Aa we do not pretend in this summary memoir to go into a

"Goldimltb's Oitiaen of the Wcrid, Hke all Us works, beara the
stamp of the autbor'a mind. It does not ' go about to coaen repu-
tation without the stamp of merit.' He is more observing, mora
original, more natural and picturesque than Johnwin. His work
is written on the model of the Pernan Letten, and eontrivea to
give an abatoKted and somewhat perplexing view of things, by
opDoalag foreigtt paeposaeeslona to our own, and thus stripping
ofajeeta of their enatomaiy dlagniaBa. Wlietber truth ia ellrlted In

''If In any of bis writings Goldsmith could be truly nid to hare
etdned the measured tone of Johnson. It was probably In his most
varied and agreeable Citlxen of the World; a work written at a
period when bis genius waa scaroeO' yet ludependent enough to
allow of alyuring all^lance to the religning powers of literature.
Yet even here an imitation is but aomeumea peroeptlblof and when-
ever It occurred was, perhapa, oolj tiie involuntary work of the
ear taking up the rich and elaboiwte harmony which it was moat
accustomed to hear, and which, in tboae daya, was aaldom heard
unaccompanied by unqualified manifestations of almost rapturous

applause Of that gay and sparkling tkcetlousneas which be

Haring thus given copious quotations fVom eminent
authorities respecting the beat-known of the productioni
of Ooidamitb, we imagine that tba reader will cot be dig-
pleased if we enlarge our article by citing opinions on the
general characteristics of an author so jnstly distingaiBhcd
and so general a favourite.

** A man of such variety of powera, and such felicity of psr-
formance, that he always seemed to do best that which he waa
doing; a man who had the art of being minute without tedious
ness, and general without confusion ; whose Unguage was copious
without exuberance, exact without oonstraint, and easy without
weakness." — Dr. JoHKson : L\fe qf Dr. I^xmdL

<* Whether, Indeed, we take him as a poet, as a oomie writer, or
aa a historian, he stands In the first class. ... He deserved a place
in Wostmtnster Abbey; and every year he lived would have de-
served it better.**— Dr. Jornbox : Lif^ hy BotwtU,

On anotber occasion, when Qoldamilh*a character wai
attacked by some who were dining at Sir Joshua Key-
Dolda's, Johnson exclaimed with warmth, " Is there a man,
sir, now, who can pen an essay with such ease and etoganoe
aa Dr. Goldsmith?"

"The wreath of Goldamltb IsnnsnlUed; be wrote to exalt rlrtoo
and expose vice; and he acoompUsbed his taak In a nutnner which
raises him to the higheat rank among British authors. We close
bis volume with a slgb that sncl^an author should have written
■oUttle from tlie stores ctf' his own genius, and that he should have
been so prematurriy removed from the sphere of Hteratnra whidi

Washington Irving — the Tory sight or sound of whoso
beloved name never fails to excite pleasing emotions in
thousands of bosoms at home and abroad — in the preface
to his Life of Goldsmith pays the following beJantifiil
tribute to his author;

"For my own part, I can onlv regret my shortoomlngs In what
to mo b a bbor of love ; for ft b a tribute of gratitude to the
memory of an author whose writings were the delight of my child,
hood and have been a source of enjoyment to me throughout Ulb ;
and to whom, of all others, I may address the beautiftal aoostroplie
of Dante to TirgU :

" 'Tn ae' lo mk) maestro, el mio autore:
Tu se' solo colul da cu' lo tolsi
Lo hello stile, che m* ha fiitto onore,' "

"The prose of Goldsmith b the model of perfection, and the
standard of our language; to equal which the efforts of most
would be vain, and to exeeed It, every expectation fbUy," —
HxAMxr.

"Goldsmith b one of the moat various and moat pleasing of
Eagltah writers. He touched apon every kind of excellence, and
that with such inlmltabb gnwe, that where be filled of originality
most he had ever a freehneaa and a charm." — Maa. 8, C. Uall.

"But none of us probably ever think of weighing hb political
opinloos, or hb claims to the titb of a great phlloeophleal poet,
lib Ikme and influence depend on nelthw. We are not grmtefiil
to him because be possesses extraordinary poetical power. There
b so much of genuine feeling, Just thought, true description, and
sound moral dtotlDetloa, tn tbese poems, [The Traveller and The

natural elevation and dignity, that they glido Into our affections

It would not be diffienlt to greatly extend our quota-

The same eminent authority commends the letters of

in researches extending from 1826 to 1836 :

Mr. Prior doubtless richly deserves all that can be mid
in praise of bis labonn ; but even hit excellent edition of
the Works of Goldsmith hat been tupertaded within tht

bride. Into the mystical design of Uis poem (though, with
Lowth and Homer, he believed It to have one) he enten UtUe;
so that the spirituality of the Bible nowhere appeara In the versloa
or the notea. AdmltUng ilia hvpothesi* to be correct, and oon-
sldfiring the Song of Songs merely as an oriental collection of love*
songs, Dr. Qood's verdon cannot be denied the praise of elegance
and general accuracy. He first gives a kind of literal prose trans,
lation, and then, on the opposite page, a metrical version. Ths
notea follow at the and, and display a great profusion of ancient

Goodrich, Channoey A., D.D., b. Oct 28, 17M,
at New Haven, Conn., graduated at Yale College in 1810.
In 1812 he beoame a tutor in that institution, and, at the
request of President Dwight, prepared a Greek Grammar,
which was extensively used in the schools and colleges
of New England. This was followed by Greek Lessons,
and Latin Lessons, designed to lead the pupil by regular
stages into a knowledge of the ancient languages, on a
plan afterwaids applied to modem languages by Ollen-
dorir. After two year* spent in the ministry, he was ap-
pointed in 1817 Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory in Yale
College, the duties of which offloe, in part, he still per-
forms, in connection with those of the professorship of
Pastoral Theology, to which poet he was appointed in
1839. In 1820 be was elected President of William*
College, Massaohnsetts, but declined the office. Soon
after the publication of Dr. Noah Webster's (father-in-
law to Dr. Goodrich) American Dictionary in 1828, he
superintended an abridgment of the work, pub. in r. Svo,
for general use ; and, with the autboi's content, conformed
the orthography, in most respects, to that which has been
commonly received in the United States. In 1847 he puik
a revision of both the 4ta and Svo dictionaries, with large
additions, the result of many yeant of labour, in which
he was aided by bis colleagues, Messrs. Silliman, 01m-
stad, Ae. See N. Amer. Rev., Izvi. 256, 257. For a num-
ber of years Prof. O. discharged the dntiea connected
with the editorship of the Quarterly Christian Spectator.
But perhaps the most important contribution made by
him to the literatnre of the age it his vol. entitled Select

only a colleetion, made with excellent taata and judgment, of the
beet BpecUnena of Bngllah eloquenee, whether parHaoumtary,
fbrensle or popular, but the UoKraphlcal and Ulnatratlve matter
annexed Is eopions enoajih to fbnn a tolerably complete political
bifltcry of Sngland from Qneen Anne's time to the present day.
At any rate, a l\ill acquaintance vlth the contents of thla volume,
taking the speeches and the commentary tof^ther, would be a
Tenr useful appendafce to that knowledge of tbe political events
of the period whleh may be derived fVom works prolbssedly his-

2H-256.

Having peniaed this Tolume with care aa well a< de-
light, we are able to folly endorse the preceding eom-
mendation. No student of history, biography, poUtionl,
forenaio, or saored eloqaenee, should be vrithout this work.
Those who hare not seen it will Iw surprised to learn that
Prof. G. girea na in this one volume one-sixth more of
matter than is oontained in Chapman's Select Speeches, or
Williion's American Eloqnenoe, in 5 vols. 8vo each. It
comprises the substance of Frof. G.'a leetnrei on the great
English orators.

"A distinct volume," the anther remarka, "wonld be
neeeasary for American eloquence if the leetorea on that
aubject should ever be published."

We trust the "distinct volume" will be published, and
also the author's lectures on Demoathenes' Oration for tbe
Crown. Such contributions to the oanae of public educa-
tion are beyond price.

In 1856, he edited a r. 8vo ed. of Webster's American
Dictionary of the English Language, exhibiting the Origin,
Orthography, Pronunciation, and Doflnition of Worda. To
which are added a Synopsis of Words differently prononneed
by different Orthoepista ; and Walker's Key to the Classical
Pronunciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper If unes,
revised and enlarged. With the Addition of a Vocabulary
of Modern Geographical Names, with their Pronunciation ;
containing all the worda in the Quarto Edition, and also
an arrangement of Synonyms under the leading Words, —
a new and important feature, and not to be found in any
other work, and particularly uaefU to young writers. It
•mbracea more than six hundred articles of this kind, being
• larger number than is contained in any similar work in
our language, with the exception of Crabbe. In the same
year he pnb. (Webster's University Dictionary) A Pronoun-
cing and Defining Dictionary of the English Language;

Shortly after attaining bis majority, he commenced the
business of a publisher in Hartford, and devoted himself
to thia branch of trade for some yeara. In 182^24, he
visited England, France, Germany, and Holland, and not
long after his return home commenced the publication of
the famous Peter Farley volumes.

In 1828 Mr. Goodrich commenced the publieation of
The Token, an original annual, which he edited for four-
teen years. In this series appeared many of his poema, —
for Peter Parley ia a poet of no mean rank, — afterwarda

?nb., together with proae pieces, also contributed to The
'oken, Ac nndar tbe title of Sketobea from a Student'a
Window, 1841. The Outcast and other Poema had pre-
eeded thia vol. by four years, being pub. in 1837. In 1851
appeared a beautUhl edit, of his Poems, (including The
Outcast,) with Pictorial Illustrationa The designa (about
forty) are mostly by Mr. Billinga, the engravinga by Bob-
bett A Edmonds, Losaing A Barrett, Hartwell, and othen,
and the printing by Mr. John F. Trow.

Mr. Goodrich has bod ao eye to IntelligeDt legialation
aa well aa juvenile instruction; and bia valuable parenta'
aaaisUnt, entitled "Fireside Edaeation," (1838, 12ao,)
waa oompoaed in aizty day a, while the anther waa oconpied
with the important dntiea devolving npon him aa a member
of the Maaaaohnsetta Senate. How greatly pannta have
been aided and encouraged — aa well as childien inatnioted

llagaiina, Merty'a Mnaaom, Farley'a Cabinet Library, and
bia aomberleaa volnmea of maoy kinda, who ahall estimate?

In 1851, the Preaident of the United States— his Excel-
lency Millard Fillmore— conferred a deserved complimeat
npon Mr. Goodrich by appointing him Consul to Puis,
In 1855 Mr. G. returned to the United Statea, and ia new
(1858) residing in Now York.

We have spoken of the volnmea of thia popular aathor aa
"numberless ;" but here we are a little extravagant, — for the
aatbor has been obliged to " number" them in eelf-defenee.

*<S.G.OoaDaioH. E8^:

** Door Sir: — I hare read the nreral artidea In the Boston Courier,
tfgned *Teritas,' dalmlng Ibr the late Mr. KetteU the authot-Bbip
of A/er Hurle^t Thlt*, mrrjf% Mumtm^ Ac Aa you request from
ue a ttatemmt aa to my knowledge on tlie sul^ieeti I cbeecfuUy
give It, whlefa you can publish if you please.

** I purcbaaed, with an asaociate, the entire Merry's Mnsenu In
1818 or 1849^ from the beginning in 1841, and hare been its pnb-
Itsher until October laat; that isi over six years. I hare nearly,
from that time to the present, been Its editor, wholly or in part.
During this period, Mr. KetteU has never written any uing for the
work. It Is within my knowledge that he wrote tnme articles In
the earlier volumes, probably In aU not exceeding one hundred
and elffhty to two hundred pages. His principal articles were the
'Trards of Thomas Trotter* and 'Mlenaei Kastoff;' these poa-
sessed no particular merit, and did not aid or advance the reputa-
tion of the work.

" The articlee by yon, exten^ng through fifteen vol nmes, nearly
all of which have since been separately published as Peter Parlej^
Tsles, gave Hfe, circulation, and character to the work. 1 have bad
large opportunItT to Judge of this matter, aa 1 have been, fbr more
thui SIX years, In oonstant emnmnnication with the subscribers,
(ten or twelve thousand In number,) and I say, unhesitatingly,
that your artielee in the Muaeum have fuUy sustained yonr repu-
tation as the ablest, bestrknown, and most popular writer fi)r youth
in this country.

** I may say, furthermore, that I have lately been in Europe, and
U Is within my knowledge that Parley's works have been published
there in various lanffuaces, and are lilghly esteemed.

** I further state that I have road your reply to the Boston Cou-
rier and * Veritas* of January 18, and so &r as my knowledge ex-
tends, and espedaUy in raspeot to Merry's Museum, it la strictly
correct.

" I need hardly ssy, in conclusion, therefbra, tliat I considor these
claims of the Boston Courier and ' Yaritaa,' In lavour of Jdr. K^
tell, as wholly without foundation. AJ& thai oan properlj^ be mid
if, fAot. out (ffjlvt or liz thousand pages of JUrrjf'i if uscum, A« oon-
tr&nUed about two hundred pages, marked vnth no particular exeei-
lenee. Tlie only qnallfieatton that need be made is, that I have
understood that Mr. Kettdl luid some general snpMlntendeoeaof
the work for alwut Az months, while you were absent In Knrope;
that Is, from September, 1847, to March, 1848. Kven during Oils
period, Mr. Kettell's labors seem to have been oonflned to writing
a few small articles ftnd reading the proo&.

" Another claim in behalf of Mr. Kettell la, that he was the au-
thor of vsrlous valuable and important school-books, such as the
Pictorial llUtory of the United 8Utas. a Pietorlal HlstorrofOreece,

(*Mr.Oooi>iuc8:

" J}ear Sir : — I have looked over the several attacks made upon
you In the Boston Courier hv 'Veritas,' claiming that Mr. KetteU
was the author of several books which bear your nsme. I am
acquainted with the history of sereral of these works; and, so fiir
as my knowledge extends, the statements of ' Veritas' sre entirely
destitute of foundation. I can speak positively as to four of the
books — the Geograpliiea— * Parley s,' the ' Primer,' the ' National,*
and the ' CcHnprebenrive,' for I am, and have been for some years,
their proprietor and pubUsber. I have also been Interested In
them from the beginning, and it Is within my knowledge tluit you
wrote them whoUy and entirely. The statements of * Veritas' as
to Mr. Kettell's authorship of the Pictorial Hlitoty of Greece and
the United States are equally untrue.

*** Veritas' quotas a contract between you and Mr. Kettell of
May Sfh, 1846, to show that Mr. Kettell had written some of the
* Puley*s Compends of History.* If he wlU look at the bonks re-
lerred to In this eontraet, he will see that your name Is given as
the author, and not Parley's.

" I speak of Oieas works, because I have been engaged In pub-
lishing them, or most of them. It Is evident that ttw ariicles in
the Oourler are written, throughout, with great rasbne-ss; and,
though I do not impugn the motives of the writer, t foel free to
sty that, so fkr as they depend upon him, they seem to me entirely
unwortfayof — "

" I bellere I may now leare this matter to ttaa Judgment of tbi
public, with a few brief obserraUons:

" Tbe enormous clatans in behalf of Mr. KetteU, set up by the
Boston Courier and Ita anfmymona eoneapondent ' Yofltas,' haw
been disposed of as follows:

"I.Mr. Kettell nerer wrote a line of the thiity-six lulnaies if
Farie^t Talet ; never a line of tbe tan vol umes of itefejr't MiMi.
ool CtMRpends, expressly and reneatedly claimed for fake; aad <f
the flfly Tofumea of i^irfejr's Ifuoettanies he only wrote a frw
sketches in half a dosen of them. To pretend, theiefcre, that Is*
Is tbe ■ VaritahU Peter ArU^,^ Is as gross an Imnoatnre as to call
blm the ' rerOoUe Atdhor' of PlckwUi, or Guy Maiinsihig, or Ike
Spectator.

" 2. Tbe claim for Mr. KetteU of the anUxnhlp of Jirrnr's ih-
•evm — thirty Tolumes — Is reduced to the wilting of abont two
hundred pages of iDdifercnt matter, as a eorreaiMBdent,

** i. The audacious claim of the entire authorahip of the JRAsf
of AU NaHont cornea to this : that Mr. KetteU was one of four per-
sons wfao assisted me In the compilation of that work.

"6. It appears, Inaamuch aa my ayaa ware weak ferasvlMt'
twenty-fire years, rendering It sometlmsa Impossible for ms ts
consult books, that I employed Mr. Kettdl to block out ssmil
works, aoeording to plans mlnntdy and canfolly peeaerlbcd iT
and that the materlale thus fUrniahed were lednesd ta

method, style, and maaner, by me, ao as to suit my own ti^i
and that the works wera published as thus rwmodeied, sad not
as Ibey were written br hfan. It appears, fbrtbermoie, that aU
this was done with Mr. Kettell's fall consent wpon writtsa and
explicit agreements, and that ha norer did pian, devise, contrtr^
or finally prepare, any book published UBdetr my name, nor was

$9t Mr. Kettetl the entire authorship of orer one hundred and

In any way or In any degree, In more than twenty Tolumes. and
those only In the manner above Indicated ; that la. Id blocking
out works, mostly hiatorlcal, uudflr my direction, and to be finished
l^me.

"7. 1 do not mean by this to depredate Mr. Xettell's ahllltles;
but, Inasmach as theee andaHons claims In his behalf hare been
peKlnadously and impudently urged, it Is proper for me. In this
Ibrmal manner, to reduce them to their true dimensions.

" 8. ^Vhile I thus acknowledge the assistance rendered mo by
Hr. Kettell in my historical compilations, it is proper to state that
I had the aid of othor persons — some of them of bifrhcr name and
ftme than he. Among my assistants were N. Hawthorne, E. Sar^

Ent, J. O. BaiKent, 8. P. Ilolbrook, Ksqs., Rev. Hoval Robbins, Rev.
O. Smith, Hot. W. 8. Jenks, and others. The' claims of ' Verl-
tal^' If admitted, would not only rob me of the authorship of a
bnndred Tolumee, which I wrote, but would transfer to Mr. Ket-
tetl about twenty Tolumes, to which sOTenl other authors eontrl-
tonted with neater ability than he.

** 9. 1 think It may be aalely assumed that in the history of lite-
latnre there is not a more Impudent attempt at impoatnra than
this, which originated In the Boaton Courier. It is easy to oom-
prvhand why toa author has not dared to give his name to the
public bnt has continued to make his attacks behind the mask
of an anonymous title. That I deem myself called upon to notlea
him arises IHnn the fliet that he derived a certain eolor of author^
Ity fltim the Kditor.l^ the Courier, and from publishing papers and
docamenta belonging to Mr. Rettell's heirs — though these coo-
trlbnted In no degree either to refute the statement here made or
to substantiate any portion of tfae claims here referred to.

" 10. Literary history la ftall of instances In which llttlenesis
allied to malignity, has signaliaed itself by aeeklng to deprfre
ftnthora of their just elahna; and, while thus doing wrong to their
literary labors, attempting also to dei^rade them In the eyea of
On world aa gallty of appropriating to themselves honors which
do not belong to tbem. It h also a vice of base minds to bellara
imputations of this sort without evidence, or even against evi-
dence, when onoe they hare been suggested. 1 do not think It
beat, tberalbre, to leave my name to be thus dealt with by htni*
pntendera, who may desira to emolate this Boston adTentnnr.

Goodwin, John, 1593-1665, an Independent divine,
ira< a sealons republican, and promoted the condemnation
of Charles I., and afterwards endeavoured to justify his
course by writing a pamphlet called The Obstructors of
Justice, 1649, 4to. This, together with Milton's Eicono-
olastes, and Defenslo pro Populo Anglioano, were, on the
Restoration, burnt by the common hangman, Aug. 27,
1660. He was educated at Queen's Coll., Camb. ; pre-
sented to the living of St Stephen's, Culeman Street,
London, 1633; dismissed for refusing to baptise the chil-
dren of his parishioners promiscuously, and to administer
the Lord's Supper to bis whole pariah. He became a
warm Arminian, and was a lealous supporter of bis
opinions. He pnb. a number of theolog. and political
works, of which the following are the best known. 1.
Treatise of Justification, Lon., 1642, foL New ed., by
Wesley, I2mo.

** John Goodwin, not yet turned Arminian. preached and wrote
with great dlllgenoe about justlflcatlon, agalost the rigid sense
cf Impatatlon; who being answered by Mr. Walker and Mr.
Boborongh, with tkr Inferior strength, his book had tlie greater
fnocess for such answerers." — BAxTxa.

3. The Divine Authority of Scripture Asserted, 1648, 4to.
** Possessed of very considerable merit. It contains more orlgl-

Bality and Ingenious biblical interpratatlon than most books of
the period known to me; and throughout It tmeathes a spirit ^
the purest piety towards God, and of good wUl towards men." —

Goodwin's violence as a politician haa prqudioed many
against him, not without oansei, we think ; but as a theo-
logian few have been mora highly oonunended.

" A person whom his worth, pains, diligence, and opInloBS, sad
the contests wherein on their account hs hath pnbllcly eDgi«nl,
have delivered him from being the object of any wdlnaiy thoughts
or expresslona Nottiing not great, not oonsldanibla, nci some

falin, or dissenting ttvax him." — Da. Owur.

" He had a clear head, a fluent tongue, a penetrating erilrit, sad
a marvellous faculty In descanting on Scripture." —Da. Ciuiir.

" Ills great learning, good sense, and eztnordlnary st^ls t*

The reader mast oarefally penue Warton's elaborate
eritioigm on Gower's production<. For tbe biographioal
detail of the little that la known, and that which la anr-
miaed, reapecting the author, he must refer to Dr. Camp-
beU'a Life of Gower, in the Biog. BriL, fi-om which we
shall quote some ancient opinions respecting Gower's
merits aa a poet Even in the lighter straina of his mnsa
he sought to he the instructor of the dark age in which
his lot was cast He is well entitled to tbe honourable
appellation, conferred upon him by the most illnstrions
Ifaiglish poet of the times, of Mors! Gower :
" 0 moral Gower I this boke I dlreete
To the, and to tbe phUoeophlcall strode,
To Tonchsaft thare nede la for to eorreote
Of ;oui benignities and sells fode."

amdutitiKifIMbi»amdaratld$.

K ia not perhaps altogether imlerant to show that
Gower was not insensible to the merits of his fellow-poet
and literary disoiple. In the Confessio Amantij he makes
Veniu pay tbe following tribute to Chanoer :

« And grete wel Chancer, when je mete^
As my dlfldple and mv po6te :
Vor In the llowers of bis vouth
In snndiT wiss, as he weU oanitasi
Of dltees and of songta glads
The whidi he for B7 lake made,** fta.

Gower subsequently omitted these verms, and it is snp-
poeed that the friendship whioh sobaistad between these
•minent leholars and poets suffered some interruption in
the latter part of their lires ; bat this presumption is not
beyond douh^ nor is it a theme upon which we care to
linger.

Berthelette, in dedicating Gower's Confessio Amantia to
K. Henry VIII., is enthusiastic in its oommendation :

"And who so erer In radrnKe of this works doth consider it wall,
shall I^Dde that It is identifUlly stuffed and tbnmlahed with maul-
Aide eloquent reasons, sharpe and qulcke arpimentee, and ex-
ami^ of great aoethoritle, perawadjoge unto Tertne, not only
taken out of the poets, oimtoura, hiatorie-writen, and philoaophara,
but also out of the holy aeriptnre. There is to my dome no man
but that he male by readlnge of thla worke get rigbte great know-
ledge, ss well Ibr tbe undentandynge of many and dlrera anctonre,
whoae reasons, Myengea, and histories, are translated In to this
works, as Ibr the pMntte of English words and Tulgan, bailde the
furtherance of the life to rertoe.-

Putltenham, treating of the parents of English poetry,
tamariu:

•' I will not reach abore the time of King Edward the third and
Biehard the aecond, for any that wrote In English metre; becanssk
before their times, by reason of tbe late Norman Conqnest, which
had brought into this nalm much alteration both of our language
and lawes, and therswitllall a eertain martial barbarousnee, where*
l^ the study of all good learning was so much dscared, as long
after no man, or tsit Aw, IntendiBd to write on any laudable aei-
ence; so ss beyond that time there la lUtla cr nothing worth oom>
nendation to be founde written in this arte. And those of the
first age were Cbaneer and Oower, both of them, aa I suppoa^
Knighlea. After whom Mlowed John Udgats, the Monke of
Bury, and that nameleaa, who wrote tlis Ba^re oallsd Flan Plow^
man." — Art of SfiaUA Aena.

"In the Italian language the first that made It to aspire to bea
Traaanra-Hoaae of Science were the poets Dante, Boecace, and P»-
tnirch. So In our English were Gower and Chaucer, after whom,
enconiaged and delisted with their excellent foregoing, others
hare followed to beantlfie our mother tongue, as well Id the same
kind ss other arts."— .Slir FMUf Siiti^i Srfaux tf Bme.

" Oower being very gnidoxu with King Henrle the fourth, in hia
time carried tM name of the only poet; but hie Tsrsea, to aay
trutii, were poor and plaine, yet full of good and grare monlltie,
but while he afl<Beted altogether the. French phrase and words,
msde himself too obscure to his reader, beside his InrentloD
cometh kr sbort of the promise of his titles."-^ucBAii: Thi

But Dr. Warton defends Gower and others, who share in
the censure, against those critics who blame these writen
for not adhering more closely to their own tongue :

**I dose this aeetion with an apology fbr Chancer, Oower, and
Oedere, who are supposed, by the aeverer etymologlats, to hare
oormptsd the puilty of tbe English languags by sfllKtlng to Intro-
docs so many Dralgn words and phrasesL But if we attend only
to the politics of tbe times, we shall find these poets, as also some
of their anccssson, much lass blameable In this respeot than the
critics Imagiae."

Read this satisfaotory vindication — Hist of Eng. Poet,
Section XX., and see Section ziz. for an account of Gower**
woriu still in MS.

Mr. Ballam's opinion of Gower's merits as a poet seenu
to eoineide very nearly with that nf Peaeham :

"A vast Interval must be msde between Chanoer and any other
Knglllb poet; yet Oower. bis contemporary, though not, like him.
It foot of^natura'a growth, had some eOact In rendering the lan-

n*

gusgt Ises rude and enUtng a tests for vans; If he s

he ne rer sinks low ; he la alwaya aenslble, poUahed, parapteuona

and not proaale In the worst aense of the word." — ^J^ BitL^

The "ladicroos pasaage" referred to ia quoted in tha
following anaodota, which we find in Boswdl'* life of
Johnson :

" Having talksd of Grainger's SngarOsne, I mentioned to bhn
Mr. lAngton*s having told me that this poem, when read In m&nu>
script at Mr Joshua Reynolds's, had mads all the assembled wits
burst into a laugh when, alter mush blank Tans pomp, tha post
began s nsw pengnph thus:

' Mow, Mnse, let*s sing of ro^.'

And what Increased the rldicnle was, that one of tfae compeny,
who slyly oTerlaoked the reader, pemlved that the word had been
ocigtnally sUn, and bad been eltered to mts, as moie dignlfled."

Bnt this Btory reqnirea an explanation, for which tha
reader ia referred to BoawslL Mias Reynolds giTes rather
a different Tarsion, and talla xa Aat when Johnson heard
the poem read, and the anUior came to the line

"Dr. JobasOD saM to ms^ 'Peiqr, Sir, was angry wHb sis lir
laughing at ths BncarOuie: fir he had a mlod to make a graat
thing of Orataigsr's rats.' '

The objeodonsble line waa altered. Dr. Johnson oer-
tainly liked tha poem, on tha whole, and aent a faToorabla
reTiew of it to tha London Chronicle of July &, 1764. Wa
quote aome other opiniona:

As Oniager's passion for portraits has been but little
nndeistood 1^ some readers, it is but just to quote his
own words in his vindioation :

■* In eT«i7 ags sad natioa dIstlnffnIslMd ftv arte end learnhig,
the IncUnsUon of transmitting the momorT and even the ftetures
of lUostrloas persnns to postarltj bu nnffarmly prevailed. The
Krestest poeta^ oreton, and biltorUna were eontamporaries with
ttie mo«t celebrated palntem, statnarles, aod enrraven of gems
and medals; and the desire to be acqumlntad vlth a raan'i aspect
lies ever risen In proportion to the known exceUenee of hJs cba-
laeler end the edmiiatlon of his writings."

The publication of Granger's work excited an eager
eompetitlon for portraits, and nnfortnnately many of his
disciples earried tbair laal to the highly-eensnrtUile ex-
treme ot mutilating raluaUe works for the sake of the
portraits which they contained :

" Pievtonslj to the publication cf the flrat edition of this woric

Mnsgrave, and Blehard Bull, Baq., have declared to aeveral per-
sona stin tiring, that the most valuable prints In their Collections
were purebaaea by them at, or under, that earn. But on the ap-
paaranee of Mr. Qrangtr's work, the nge to illustrate It with
portraits was so prevalent, that aoaroely a oopj of a book orna-
mented with portralta could be ftmnd in an nnmutllated state; and
books of this description rose la price to five times their original

Rowe Mores, in his criticism upon Ames's Catalogna
of Snglifh Haads^ is loud in Us oomplaint of these mnti-

This is a tempting subject, but we must fly iVom it We
IwTe touehed upon a branch of this illnstnting mania in
onr artiele on BasroBD, Jotai. The literary merit of
Oranger's History is of a high order :

5. Bightoen Hnndred and Thirteen ; a Poem, 1814, 8r«.
t. Memoir and Conespondanoe of Mrs. Qrant of Laggan,
1844, 3 vols. p. 8ro; Sd ed., 1846, 3 vols. p. Svo; Sd ed.,
1853, 2 vols. p. 8vo. These vols, consist of a sketch of
Mrs. Grant's life, drawn up by herself, (in 182&, Ac.,) to the
year 180S, and continued by her son, and of her letters
between 1803 — when she left Laggan for Woodend — and
within a few months of her death in 1838. The following
commendations of these vols. — from anthoritias of widely
different cbaractor — are all for whioh we ean 8nd room :

" Most of Mra. Grant's letten are rich in moral eentiment, and
all are preomlnent In refined soelel Iteling. Her style of wrttiag
Is so pare, and ber modes of thinking and espressing herself upon
every subject so true to natnre, that no one of eofiraot teste can
rise ftom the perueal of her letten without a ooosdonsnsss of real
delight"— ZoM. HvttHgiUaa Hagatine.

"Abounds In snsedotes of many celebrated persons, well tdd,
novd, and IViU of interest Mrs, Grant discovers an astounding
acntsiMss of intellect, a sagacity of discrlmlaatlon, and, wliat is
better still, a fervour of religious feeling, rarely met with In any
coUeelion of letten in tka whole range of Xn^lsh literature."—

This estimable lady was as great a fkvourito in the
social circle as she was with those who only knew her
through her enchanting volumes. Dr. Monro gives a
graphic account of the pleasure which he experienced in
her oompany at an evening party in Edinburgh :

" Mrs. Grant is really a woman of grsat talente and aeqnlv^
ments, and might, without oHencs to any one, talk upon any
subject she pleases. But I assure you any person wbo hopes to
meet with a Naie iloeJMiff, in the ordinary sense of this tenn. In
this lady, will feel sadly dlssppolnted. . . . Ths sound sndntfctnsl
enjoysaent I derived firom my conversation with this excellent
nn would indeed atone tar much mora than all the tiw daoh-

, sisterhood have ever been able to inflict upon my patleaoe."

Mr. De Qaincey aeoidentally enoountered Mrs. Orant
and ber beantinil daughter in a stage-coach, in 1808. The
charm* of the daughter of course were not lost upon the
en^Dsiastie temperament of the Opinm-Bater; out the
oonveraalion of the mother seems to hare impressed him
more deeply. In a review of his life, writtan many year*
later, ha tells us, with much feeling:

"Her kindness to me was nartleubuly flattsilng; and to this
day I retidn the Impioeslnn of the benlgalty which she— an esta-
blished wit and Just then receiving Incenss lr«m sll quarters —
slaiwed in ber mannen to me— a person utterly imknowa."— £>to
rsry JtesUiUfcoMst.

Dndoabtedly the writings of Mrs. Grant did much to
awaken that taato for Seotland and ita teenery, ite tradi-
tions and ite superstitions, which was at onoe stimulated
and gratifled by the poems, the novels, and the histories,
of the author of Waverlev. Than his there ean be no
higher commendation ; ana we are glad to be able to add
it to the many tributes whioh havs been offered to the emi-
nent merits of Anne Grant of Laggan:

" Her writings, deservedly popular in her own countoy, derive
Ir success llrom the '
sslves to the national |

thflir success Crom the happy maaaer in wlilch, eddreesing them-
sslves to the nattonol pride of the 8cottish people, they breathe a
spirit at once of patriotism end of that candour which randen

5 triotlsm unselfieh and liberal. We have no beeltatlon In onert.
I our belief that Mrs. Grant's writings have produced a strong
and aalutary effect upon her countiymeo, who not onlv found re-
corded in Ibem mucb of national history and antlqultlss which
would otherwise have been forgotten, bnt found them combined
with the sonndeet sod the best Mesons of virtne snd morality."

celebrated author of the Elegy .wiitten in a Coanliy
Church-yard, was a native of Comhill, London, in whioh
ei^ his father followed the. oconpaUon of a money-
aarivener. Tha latter was a man of violent passions and
brutal manners, and it was to his ezoeUent mother that
the fitara poet was indebted for those opportoniUee of
education which tie eajoyed, first at Bton School, and
subsequently (1784-38) at Peter-house, Cambridge, ta
1738 be rstomad to London, with the intention of pann-
ing the study of the law. He was soon diaeoaraged, how-
ever, by tha diHealties of the prelimina^ branches, and
not nnwining to accede to his friend Horace Walpole's
request to accompany liim on a tour on tba contiaeat
" In the study of the law," aaya Gray in a latter to Wasl^
" tha labour is long, and the elements dry and anlntareat-
ing; nor war tliere ever anybody {npteiattg Ae*» t\<it
afUrwardt suKia a flgvr* fn it) amnaed, or even not dis-
gusted, at tha beginniag." Ia such a iVsma 6f mind, the
invitation to viait tha classic land of Italy, in company
With tlw Hrdy Horaea^ most have lieen received wlUi no
IttUedeUght

In the spring of 1739 the travellers lafk London, and
continued togeuer until 1741, when they parted at Keg-
gio, after maay unliappy diapataa, for which Walpole,
according ta liis own' coniiBesion, was most to blame. At
a later period of lift their friendly relations were renewed
in oonseqaenoe of 'Walpole'a amicable overtores, which
were received ia a proper spirit by the poet

In September, 1741, Gray returned to Loadon, aad ia
1742 took his degree at Cambridge of Baehelor of Oiril
Law. His father was now dead, aad lie resolTsd to setDa
parmaaently at Cambridge; sad, with tlie exoeption of
occasional trips to Walas^ Beotiand, and the Lakes of
Westmoreland, and a three years' residence ia London, fbr
eonvenisnoe ot- acaaaa to the British Musenm, he resided
in this place for ilia baianee of his life - In 1766, in con-
aeqnenoe of the aanojraaoe wUah he experienced fVem the
" rudeness and hoisterons practical Jokea of some riotous
young Bien in the mma eollege building," he removed
from Feter-houaak wlilek was endeared by tba aeqnaint-
anc9 of more thaa twenty yaos, to Pemliroke-hall, where

dMtli of CSbbw. In 1782 he mada an nnnieoMsftil appll-
estion for the profeaaonhip of Modem Hlttoty at Cam-
bridge, worth £400 . per annnm ; bat thU post was oon-
ferred upon him by the Oake of Orafton in 1768. For
thia act of kindneii hia Oraoe waa rewarded b; Qray'a
Ode on the Inatallation of the Duke of Grafton to tii«
Chanoellorahip of the Unirenity of Cambridge, to whioh
he waa elected in 1769. The duUea of hia professorahip
were praetioally neglected by the new inonmbent, althongh
be taught the langnagea by proxy, and eontemplated ue
deliTety of a eoaraa of leetnraa, the preparation of which
wai cut abort by hia death. On the 24th of Jnly, 1771,
while at dinner in the oollege-hall, he waa aeiied with
gont in the stomach, which proved fktal on the evaning
of the 30th of the aame month.

A detailed acconnt of the literary life and literary dreama
of thia ripe aoholar and eatimable man — hia warm friend-
■hipa, hia ambarraaaing aenaitiveneaa, and the magnifioent
Tiaions of immortal laboora whioh hannted hia mind bat
never aaw the light — will not be expected in the narrow
limita to which we are conHned. In the biographies of
Johnson, Matfaiaa, Chalmera, Haaon, Mitford, and of Henry

Ao. of Walpole, Nieholls, Forbea, Boswell, Bowlea, Beattie>
and other notioea of the men of Uie timea in which the poet
liTod, will be found snSoient to gratify the cariosity and
delight of the moat enthnaiaatio of hia admirers.

It now becomes oar doty to lay before the reader the
opinions of a number of eminent critioa npon the merita
of the principal produotiona of an author who muat always
oocapy an exalted rank among the greater poets of Kng-
land.

1. Ode on a Distant Prospect of Bton CoHege. Written
in 1742; pub. in 1747, foL

"Tbe OOB on a Distant Proepeet of Eton CoUega Is mofa me-
ehanleal and omimon plane [than the Ihgy In a Ooastrr Chnndi-
yard] ; hut It tonchas on nrtaln strtngi about the heart, that
vibrate in unison with It to our latest braath. NooDeeTar naaaea
by Wlndaor>B 'stately balghta,' or aaas the distant aplraa or JIton
College below, without thinking of Qny. Eb dMerrea that we
ahonld think of blm ; for he thonght of others, and turned a
trembling, ereF-watebfal ear to ' the sull aad mnde of humanity.* "
-^OuUtfa Zeeftira on tA< Xng. PMU.

Of Dr. Johnson's comments on thia Ode it ia enongh to
quote the firat aix linea aa a apeoimen of the hyporeritieism
in which this great writer sometimes nnwarrantably in-
dnlges:

*■ The Fraaiwet of £ton College suggests nothing to Omy which
erery other beholder does not equally think and (mL Htssniipli-
oatlon to father Thames, to tell him irho driTes the hoofi or toeses
the ball, is useless and puerile. Father Thames hss no better
means of knowing than himself" — L^fe qf Qny.

This undignified sneer haa been well reboked by Mr.
Hitibrd :

"Are we by thia rule of criticism to Judge Oie Ibllowing paassga
in the twentieth chapter of Sasselas? ■ As they were lirilng to-
gather, the prlneeaa cast her eyes on the rirer fliat flowed belbn
her: "Answer," said she, "great Father of Waters, then that roUaet
thy floods through eighty nations, to the InToeatlon of the daughter
ef thj natlTe king. Tell me, If thou wateiest, through all thy
coarse, a single habitation fkom which thon dost not lisar the mur-
Bura of complaint t"'"

This is an admirable apeoimen of the ar;i«iMn<am ad
iomi'nesi. Bat, if Dr. Johnson haa ondnly appreciated thia
Ode, a later authority, of no contemptible nmk, haa per-
haps greatly oTorrated it :

"Oraj has, In hia ode on Eton Conege, whether we eonsidar the
sweetness of the rerslflcatlon or Its delHoos train of plalntlre ten-
derness, riTalled erery Ijric eflbrt of andent or modem tfanes." —
Da. Dain: Literary Baurt.

2. Ode on Spring. Written in 1742.

" His ode On Spring has something poetteal, both In tlie lanirnage
and the thought; but the language is too luxuriant, and tka
thougfato hare nothing new."— Da. Jomsoir : Ufi ^ Ora^.

8. Hymn to Adversity. Written in 1742.

"The hint was at flrst taken Ihan '0 Diva, gnttum quss regis
AaUum ;• but Qray has excelled his orighia] by Uie variety of hia
■enttanenta, and by their moral applfcatlon. Ofthls pteca, at once
poetical and rational, I wlU not, by sUght otjections, vkdate the
dignity."— Da. Joamoii : Life ^ Ont).

4. Elegy written in aConntryChnrch-yard. Commeneed
in 1742, reviaed <h>m time to time, and completed in 1749;
pub. by Dodaley in Feb. 17tl. There ia a tradition that
the Elegy waa eompoaed in the "predneta of the Church
of Orancheater, alwat two milaa from Cambridge ; and the
mrfew ia anppoaed to have been the great beU of 8t
UutV

The popularity of this ezqniaite compoaition waa imma-
diate and extenaive. Gray himself telle the atory in a
not* on the marcin of a maonacript copy of tbe Blegy
preserved at Cambridge among the poef a paper* :

« FnUMjed ta> leb. 17M, by Dodaley, aad went thro' fear eAI-

GRA

tiona in two montha; and alterwatda a tth, 8111,7111, and Mb, Mk
10th, and lllh ; printed alao tai 1768 with Mr. Bsatlay'W Dasigiia, at
which there is a ad edition, and again by Dodder hi his MIseeilsDj,
▼d. Iv., aad In a Scotch eolleotion call'd tAc Cmm, ttanslatcd into
Latia by Chr. Anstey, laq, and the Bev. Ur. Boberts, aad paV
Ush'd in I7C2 ; and a^dn & the ame year by Rob. Uojd, M.A.'

The reader is, of oonrse, an aidant admirer of the Elegy,
aad therefore wUl not he displeased to read tbe enthnaiaalie
enooniuma whioh have been laviabed upon it by erities
who have earned a right to be heard with raapeet:

"It ia a poem which la universally understood and admlied;
not only for Its poetical boanties, but alao^ and perliB|»s chiefly, Ir
Its expnastng sentiBentB ia which every man thinks biiaaelr ta-
teraeted, and which at certain timea are fcmillar to all aa^"*
Da. Biami.

" Had Gray written nothing but hia Klagy, high as ha standi,!
am not surs that he would not stand higlur; itiaths coraaretoBe
of his glory. . . . Gray's Blegy plaaaad InatHtly and eternally."—
LaasBTaoa.

The eulogy of General Wolfe ii almost too well known
to bear repetitian. The night before the attack on QadMe,
in which he loat hia lifs, he daoland to bii feDow-soldiera—
" Now, gentlemen, I would istber be the author of that
poem than take Qnebee."

" I know not what thara U of aptll hi flie fcOowtav alavle Una:
'The rude Ibrefcthera of the hamlet alaep;*
but no flrequency of repetition can exhauat ita touching ohana.
This fine poem ovaresme oven the spiteftil enmi^ of Johnsoi^
aad ttaiead Urn to aeknowlodce ita exesHenee."— aa 8. Bamor
Banon: JJauAsaMea Mawrqa^.

Tbe remark — ^"spitenil aiuni^ of JohnaaB" — b ia ymj
bad taste, and moreover reiy ni^nst; but Sir Sgerton wu
not the most amiable of mortals. Johnaon'a eommeadattoa
of the Biegy is hear^, enthnaiaatio, and gladly aeeorded:

" In the Obractar of hii Elegy I rejoice to coaKOr with the ao*
mon reedar; fln> by the common aense of rBedara,oncormptadwlth
Utemry prqfudicaa, after all the refinamenta of anbtlU^ and the
dogmatism of learning, muat be Anally decided all claim to poetied
liononra. The Chnrd»-yard abounda with fanwa wbli^ find a
mirror In everr mind, and with aentlnieniB to wEich every boaaes
rstnma an echo. The flmr staaaas beginning 'yet even tbaaa
bones,' are to me original: I have nersr aasn the Botkaa In any
other piece; yet lie that raada them here peranadea hiaiaalf that
he has always Mt them. Had Gray wrltteai often tha, it had
been vain to blame aad aaelsaa to pialaa Urn." — Hft t^ Gray.

Tet there ia much truth in the remark of a modem critic
that tbe Elegy owea its popolaii^ not altogefter to "the
strain of thought:"

"There la a ehaim in metrak ae fliare la ia malic; it la of the
aame kind, though the relation may be remote; aad It diflan less
in degree, perhaiM, than one win haa not an ear Sir poatiy can ba
lieve. . . . Qray'a Blaer owea much of Ita popularity to Ita alain of
verae; the atrain of Uiought alone, natural and tonehing as it la,
would never have Impreaaed it upon tbe hearte of thouaanda aad
tena of thoumnds, unless the dlctkm and metre in which It wm
embodied had bean perfectly lo unlaon with it. Beattii aacraed
ita general reception to both oanaes, [see above.] . . . Meither caaia
would have aufliced flir prodndng ao geikeial and extaodva and
permanent an effect, nnJeea the poem hid been, in the fwn haport
of the word, hannonioaa" — Sotilte^i UJi t^Camptr,

« aray'e Pindaric Odea era I bdiere, generally given np at air
aent, [notao;] they are atately and pedantic; a kindofmathodkai
borrowed phranay. Bat I cannot ao aaslly give up, nor wiU the

yard; it la one of tbe moet daaalial prodnctiona that aver waa
penned by a reflned and thonghtftd mind moraUalng en hanaa
Uie. Mr. Coleridge (tai hie Utarary Lift) aays that his Mead Mr.

most exquisite and flnishad example In the worid of tha aOMt
reeulting ftom tbe Intermixture of evening soensey and pattMHa

This is a specimen of the censurable eztnvaganoa of
whioh antbuaiaam is so often gnil^. Had Mr. Drake
read all the poetry of this spaoies '< in tike worid r aad, if
so, (of oonrse an impossibility,) did his memory retaia
it with snob fiuthfulness aa to enable him to nuke the
eompariaon with tha naults of whioh ha ihTours us 1

In a similar strain of hyperliole, Mr. Hathiaa assarai
us that, as a poet, Gray is "second to none."

An interesting subject eonaeoted with tbe Elegy is the
number of translations of it whioh hare been made ia
various languages. And here wo cannot do better than
quote an cxtraot fh>m tha biography of Gray— already
referred to — by onr rained and lamented friend, the hiM
Profeaaor Henry Reed :

"One peculiar and remarkable tribute to the merit of The
Blagy ia to be ncMeed in the great nnmber of tranilatloni which
have been mads of It into vanona langnagea, both of ancient and

1. Tha Progress of Poesy ; a Pindarie Ode. Completed
in lTi6. 8. The Bard ; a Pindario Ode. Commenced in
175S. Both 7 and 8 were printed at the Strawberry-Hill
Press, by Horaee Walpole, in 17&7, 4to.

"Ilbnnd^iayln town last week. He brought his two odea to
ba printed. I snatched them out of Dodsley's bauds, and thay
are to be the flrat-frnlta of my presa."— Walfoli.

The Pindario Odes wara not popnlnr : they were neg-
lected by the publle and laughed at by the wits, — nay,
openly borieaqued by Qeorge Colman the alder, and
Bobert Lloyd, in the odes To Obaenrity and To Oblivion, —
the first intended for Qray and the second for Haaon :

" Little did the two wits think how small. In comparison wKli
Omy, thay would appear In tha eyee of poatarlty; and that Tba
Baid, which waa than neglected by the public, would, la tha
coaree of the next nneiation, bacone the meet piqpalar ode In the
Bngllsh language.*— BooraiT : Liji nf Oamtr.

Bat Colmao, in hia Miacallansons works, pub. in 1787,
amply Tindicataa Lloyd and himaelf against the ohaiya
of ill-natore.

The beat proof of their want of adaptation to tha pablia
oomprehenrion and taste ia the fact of their general neglaet
Dr. Johnson describes them aa

"Two compoaitiona at which tha raadan of poetry were at first
content to gaaa in mate amaaemenL Soma that tried tbam con*
timed their InatKlllty to nnderstand them, though Warburton
said that they were anderstood aa wall aa the worka of MOton and
Bhakapeorat which It Is the ikshlon to admire. Oarrick wrote a
taw linea in their praiae. Some hardy champlona undertook lo
reeene them fkom negleet; and In a short time nuay ware content
to be ahown beauties whkfa thaj could not see."— i<</< 'f Onu.
Bead the whole of thla critique.

Walpole admired the Odea greatly, bat admitted their
nnpopularity :

"' ion are TMTpartlsalar,' ha remarks toMontague, 'in liking
Gray's Oder ; but yon must remember the age Ukca Akenalda and
did likeTbompeonl Can the eame people like both?'"

Hr. Porster thinks that Walpole's admiration waa rather
eztraragant :

" Two noble pnductloiu, It most sorely be admitted, whatorar
of cavil can be urged against them: though not to be admired aa
Walpoto admired."— X^ nf OidtmUh.

Oray himaelf drawa an amosing picture of the paUIo
distaste:

"Bvan my Mends tdl ma'they (the Odea) do not laeeasii; and
witta me moving toploe of coneolatbn on that load. In ahort, I
have heard of nobody bnt an actor [Ganlck] and a doctor of
divinity [Warburton] (hat pro&aa their aateam fcr them. Oh yea I

knew there waa a complfanant to Dryden, but never sutpected

to tell what thay were about"— XcMer t» Mr. Utr*, ofteneanb
BMop 1)^ Mi^ldit oiHi Cbeaitry.

Porster remarks that Oray might have added to the
admimra of the Odes "the poor monthly critio of The
Donciad."

Greene, Rohert, 16607-1692, an English poet and
miscellaneous writer, noted alike for his good adrice and
bad example, was a natire of Ipswich, and educated at
St. John's ColL, Camb. After learing oollegs he traTelled
on the oentinent, and npoa his retam hoste is supposed
to have (aken orders and received the liTing of Tollesboiy
in Essex, June 19, 1584. He was a boon companion with
the diisipated wiis of the day, dsaertod a lOTely wife, lired
a pro^gato. life, oooasienaUy chequered with partbd re-

intanoe, and <Ued of a aarfeit of pickled herrings and
enish wine. In his Groaf t Worth of Wit bought with
a Million of Bepeotanoe, writton not long before his death,
and other pieces of a similar character, he laments hia
profligate career and exhorts his former companions to
forsake their sril ways. His worlu, which consist of
plays, poems, fiotions, and tracts upon &e manners of the
day, are vary numerous. Mr. Haslewood, in die Censunt
Litorsiia, x. 288-800, gives a list of forty-fiTC, to which
he adds fire which hsTC been ascri^d to him ; and Mr.
OctoTius Gilchrist increases the catalogue (Cons. Lit, x.
880) by the names of three more. Further information
respecting his works will be found ia the authorities cited
below. The following is a list of tha eontento of the edit
of Greene's Works pub. In 1831, 2 Tols. or. Sto, by the
BcT.A. Dyoe:

tribute to tile merits of a truly great man, between whom

for thirteen years in the Dane Law School, the firiendship
and attachment with which thsy had entered upon the
Joint discharge of their duties Invigorated and enlivened
their ardnons efforts for the benefit of the institntion
whose prosperity they had so mnoh at heart It was at
the instance of Jndga Story that his iHend was oalled to

been eloqnentiy employed npon thia theme :

" He Is tile second English poet after Lord Surrey who wrote in
blank verse. Nor Is it his only praise that he was the first who
followed in this new path of veralfleation. To the style of blank
Terse exhibited by Surrev, he added new strength, elegance, and
nodulation. . . . Grimoald, as a writer of verses In rhyme, yields
to none of his cotempotailee for a masterly choice of dutate ex-
preedou, and the concise elegancies of didactic versification. Some
of the couplets, hi his poem Iff Pausa or Moo^noif, have all
the smartnees which marks the modem style of sententious poetry,
and would have done honour to Pope's ethic Epistles." — mirfon'i

Marlborough, repub. bis lordship's Juvenile efinsion, (1736,
12mo,) and had it circulated among the electors. His lord-
ship, who was really a most worthy man, was ridiculed both
by Pope and Swift The former, referring to the peer's
residence at Gorhambury, near St Alban's, exclaims :
"Shades that to Bacon dM retreat afford
An now the portion of a too6y Lord."
And Swift says :

"The leaden crown devolv'd to thee,
Great poet of the BoBow IVu."

Grindal, or Gryndall, Edmnnd, D.D., 1519-1683,
a native of Hinsingham, Cumberland, educated at Mag-
dalen C^., Christ's CoU., and Pembroke Hall, Camb.;
Fellow of Pembroke Hall, 1638; President 1649; Preb.
of Westminster, 1662; fled to Strasbourg on the accession
of Mary in 1663 ; returned home on the accession of Elisa-
beth, 1668, and assisted in compiling the new liturgy;
Bishop of London, 1669; Archbishop of York, 1670; trans,
to Canterbury, 1676. He was an eloquent preacher, and
so zealous for the advancement of religion that he refused
to obey Elisabeth when she ordered him to substitute the
reading of homilies for pulpit ministrations — to "abridge
the nnmber of preachers and put down the religions exer-
cises." This firmness led to his being sequestered for a
time by her m^esty. 1. Profitable and Necessarye Doe-

From the North American Review, IxxxL 26-M, July,
1855, by H. T. Tnekerman :
**Tha Bepublican Oontt Is the most bcaniUU specimen in this

department that has yet ajneared, and has the peculiar merit of
a national sulyect. It consiHts of a fluent narrative, intended to
convey an authentic and picturesque idea of social life in this
country in the days of Washington. ... In the prepiirBtion of
this elegant quarto, the memoirs and correspondence of the period
have besn searched, the diaries of leading members of society
gleaned, the reminiscences of survivors drawn upon, and such
works as Sullivan's Iietters on Public Characters, Duetts RecoUeo-
tlona of Mew Turk, the autobiogiaplilea of French oJBcors engafl
in tba war, the letters of Ura. Adams, and Ocsydon's Uemd
caieiully examined."

From the Christian Examiner, No. CXC, July, 1855, by
the Bor. Samuel Osgood :

" This elegant volume was received by acclamation on its first
appearance. We are quite certain that the sober second judgment
of the public wlU confirm the first opinion, and In some reHpects
magnlly its approbation. ... Its solid literary merits are yet to
be Ailiy appreciated. We do not know where else one-hulf so
much Gifiumatlon ree|Mcting our early American history chn be
found. . . . Dr. tiriswold has evidently been much fevered in the
use of private fkmHy memorials, and he has worked up his mate-
rial with much artistid taste in the grouping and great spirit in
the narrative. Tha volnnie stands among our important nlsterl*
cal mouuments."

From an interesting aeoomit, by Mr. Fletcher, of tha
interest manifested by the Emperor of Brasil in an ezhi*
bition of American products, collected (in 1S55) by the
enterprise of the former, we extract some remarks by hit
majesty, not withont interest in this connexion :

*' After spending s long time in the exhibition, he exdafanad to
his suite : ' That which I find the most desirable is the porfectloa
of typography and binding, (alluding to the StpiMieam Qxoi,
which he held in his liand,) the beautifhl specimens of steel en*
gravings and chromo-Uthography, and the daameas of the photo*
Eraphic portraits.' Now, it is just in those departments that the
Brazilians bad believed us deficient ; for almost every thing of tida
kind comes ftom England, Fimnoe, and Germany."

The reader who desires to learn more respecting Dr.
Griswold's oharaetetistios as an author is refbrred to The
Knickerbocker Magazine, xxxvi 182, xlvi. S98, and to
Literary Criticisms and Literary Portraits, by Horace Bin-
ney Wallace. From the last-named andiority we make
a brief extract, which may appropriate^ conclude thia
article.

•• The Utamry abDIUes disniayed In the orighsl portion of these
works [see Nea. 5, fl^ 7, and 18] are entitled to very high rank, and
are undoubtedly the sufficient cause of their pfynlsii^ and pei^
manence. Dr. Oriswold's style is fresh, brilliant^ delicato, perlupS
oveiMlellcate, but never feeble, and rarely morbid. With unerring
accuracy lie always indkatee tlie strong prints of his sutiject; yM
he indicates rather than seises them. The outUnee of truth are
always traoad with nicety and preeisfon ; yet they are traced rather
than channelled. Bis coloring is refined, soft, suggestive; dealing
in hall^tints or mixed hues more nsually than in simple and con-
trasted otdora. His perceptions are keenly intelligent, and IVill of
vitality and vividness; but they are too mercurial, furtive, and
hasty : they want fixity, perslstancy, and prolongation. Re touchsa
some rich element of truth or beauty, but he does Dot linger upon
it to develop and unfold Its deep and fall resonroee." — p. 289.

"He was a plodding, iDdostrTons, and careful writer, extremely
well Informed on Amerioan literature, but by no meanH an elegnnL
ner even a oomct, though vary ambitious, writer. He was Inclined
to be mataphyaical and transcendental, but ironid gat out of his
depth and become unintelligible. Thongh he had no genius
whatever. Dr. Oriswold has done some servkse to literature. He
win be remembered by his compilations." — ^Db. R. Soxijom Uao*

Gn>cyn, Wm., 1442-161S, a native of Bristol, Bng.
land, a man of great learning, was educated at Winchester
and New College, Oxford. In 1479 he was made Rector
of Newton-Longville, Buckinghamshire, and in 1485 Preb.
of Linooln. He also flUed the place of divinity-reader in
Magdalen College, Oxford. Being enthnsiaatically devoted
to the stndy of Uie Oreek language, probably from the in-
fluence of Vitelli, ha visited Italy for the sake of perfect-
ing his knowledge of this tongue, and studied for soma
time nnder DemeMof, Chalcondyles, and Polltian. In
1491 he settled at Bxeter College, Oxford, and publicly
taught the Sraek langaage, advocating a new pronnnci».

elark in the banking-hoiue, and at a later period of life
ilTided Ut attention between Uteratuie and politics, bat
for loiue time paat hae devoted hii hoars ezolniirely to the
former. In addition to the great work by which he is best
Imown and will be bononnd to the latest period of time,
be it the author of a pamphlet (pnb. anonymously in 1821 )
in reply to Sir James Mackintosh's Essay on Parliamentary
Beform, in the Edinburgh Beriew ; s work on the Essen-
tials of Parliamentary Baform ; an artiole on Mitford, in
the Westminster BcTiew, and one on Niebnhr's Heroic
Legends of Greece, in At London and Westminster Re-
view. The name of Niebobr appropriately introduces the
•zprassion of his warm interast in Mr. Orota's History of
Bneoe, which was commenced 1823 :

The Examiner is not less entbnsiastie in the axprei^n
of its admiration :

" If there existed any donht of Mr. Orote'a qnallllcatlena Ibr this

■Barant of imaglnatire feeling necaaaary to aoatala and inibrm

The eulogy of tha fistingnished historian of modem
Xurope is no insignificant reward for even snob protracted
and laboriotts researches aa have tested the patience, tha
laaming, and the fidelity of the bistoriao of Qraece:

Burlington, and Hararford. XIpon hia retirement from
thafrienda* Coll. atHaverford, he reinzaed hii Boarding-
Bobool at Burlington, (prevional; oondneted by him from
1814 to 1839,) In connection with hia eldest son, Samuel
J. Clnnmere, " who ii his worthy luooeuor, both in aden-
tifle attainmenti and in the happy art of imparting
tnatmodon." Ids celebrated treatise on Snrreying waa
Ant pub. in 1814, haa mn through 14 edits., and ia now
atareotyped. Of hia Elementary Treatise on Theoretical
and Praotioal Astronomy, the 1st ed. was pnb. in 1822,
and the laat (the tth) in 18S4. The ezeellenoe of this
work elicited the warm eommandationa of Dr. Bowditoh,
Prof. Baeha, and other competent Judge*. An Interesting
Mogiaphieal sketch, entitled Memorials of the Life and
OharaetST of John Qummere, was privately printed by
Wbu J. Allinson, of Burlington. It is a well-merited trl-
faate to the learaing and virtoes of a ripe scholar and an
•zoellant man. James I., when in the plenitude of his
riory aa the master of three kingdoms, acknowledged that
he nerar eren then saw his stem old sohoobnaater,
Buehanan, withont an emotion of fear. It may be truly
■aid— we speak from our own experience— that the former
disciples of John Gnmmere never in after-life approached
tbeir old master without sentiments of affection and
•ataem.

Gnmmere) Samnel R.f brother of the preceding,
b. in 1789, at Willow Qrove, Penn., was from 1821 to
1837 the head of a popular boarding-school for giTla> at
Barlington, N. Jersey. He ia the author of a Treatise on

without becoming a member and withoat subscribing to the
Thirty-Nine Articles. Upon the completion of his education
Mr. Gnmey became a member of the eminent banking-
house established by his father, and henceforth devoted
much of his time to secular business, but was also actirely

In addition to missionary tonrs among the prisons of Boot-
luid, England, and Ireland, Mr. Oumey p^d three visits

tory in the University. He was one of the authors of The
Reformatio Legum Ecdesiasticarum. A collective edit,
of his works, consisting of 10 Latin Orations, 14 letters,
and some poems, was pub. in 1567, Lon., 4to, under tlie
title of Lnenbrationes, Ac. His Foemata were pub., with
his Life, in 1676, 16mo.

When Queen Elisalieth was asked whether she preferred
Haddon or Bnchanan in point of learning, she replied,
*'Buehaiianam omnibus ontepono,
Haddonum neminl postpono.''

An eminent modem eritio considers that Baddon't merits
as a Latinist have been ovemted:

" Many of onr own critics iMve extolled the latlnity of Walter
Haddon. His Ontions ware poblished in 1M7. They belong to
the lint years of this period, [1660 to ISOO,] but tlley seem hardly
to deserve any high praise. Haddon lifld certainly laboured at an
imitation of Cicero, out without eatehlng hia mannar or getting
rid of the florid, semi-poetical tone of the fourth century." — HcS-

As few — very few — bibliographers can ever hope to exult
Sb the possession of a set of the Voyages of De Bry, it Is
no amall consolation to bo able to secure, at a trifling ex-
pense^ the five goodly qoartoa, 1809-12, which compose
the Hakluyt Colleotion.

«But what a MUtographkal aord am I striking," says that
^■atsMe eBthnsiast, Dr. Dlbdln, " In the mention of the Tiavels of
XMBnl Whata'i\iii|;ii»gt<CTi' do«s the po—silon of a copy af

Bat what a tempting, yet what a hydra-headed, theme,
](anre we •Inottwieoasaioulyapproaohedt But we cannot
linger evan over a dish so eptemreaa and highly fiavonred.
X^mt the veritable bibliograptier, who longs for a rich repast,
rsfor to the Bibliotheca Grenvilliana, 184-194. The grand
jmilmr of vol*, there dsforibed now repose* is the British

Hnseiim, and, with llie addition of those which wn« alnady
in the library, may claim to be one of the principal orna-
ments of that noble instltation. But we are happy to add
that the most complete set of Da Bar In existence is in
the possession of an American gentleman, Mr. Jame*
Lenox, of New York, collected by the anxious toil of many
of his agente in various parte of the world, and at an ezv
pense, it is asserted, of not less than £4000.

But to return to Hakluyt : it is amnsing to observe the
diffidence with which old Anthony i Wood ventore* a
timid vaticination respecting the future itatui of the wild
country to which so many adventorars recorded by Hak-
lnyt's industry steered their barque* :

" Which work," says Anthony, raftrrtng to Baklnjt's Colle»
tkm, *' being by him performed with great care and industry,
cannot but be an honour to the realm of EngUnd, becmoaa poe*
sibly many porte and tsUnda In America, that axe bare and bar-
ren, and only bear a name for the present, may prove rich places
In fntura time." — Mkm. Oxon.

Could Anthony now open his eye* upon the twenty-five
millions of people in the United SUtes, doubUess he would
claim no small credit for hia discernment. The author
of the Explanatory Cattdogne of Voyages prefixed to
Churchill's Colleotion of Voyages, said to be the cele-
brated John Locke, characterises Haklnyt's Colleotion a*

** Valuable for the good there to be picked out : — but It might
be wished that the author bad been less volomlDons, dellTerinc
what was rmlly authentic and useful, aod not stuOng bis work
with so many stories taken upon trust, so many trading voyage*
that have nothing new In them, so many warlike exploits not at
all pertinent to bis undertaking, and such a multitude of articles^
eharters, prlTlleges, letters, relatlona, and other things lltUa to the
purpose of travels and discoveries."

But we think that this criticism is open to severe anim-
adversion. Every item excepted against is a valuable
portion of the great whole.

An eminent authority thns compares the respective
merite of Hakluyt and Purchas as compilers of voyages :

** We have In our own language as good and as bad eolleeUons
ss ever were made; one Instanoe of each may sulRoe. Mr. Hak-
luyt was an able. Ingenious, diligent, accurate, and useful ean-
plfer; and his collections are aa valuable as any thing In their
kind ; on the other hand, Purchas his Pilgrims are roiy volumin-
ous, and for the most pari a very trifling and laalgnlfleant oolleo-
tton : his manner, for I cannot call it method, la Irregular and
oonftiaed; his judgment weak and pedantic; his remarks olten
silly, and always little to the purpose. This shows how much
depends upon the care and skill of the collector; who on the one
hand Is to proride what may entertain and please, and on the
other Is to be caraAd that knowledge and InstrncUen be conveyed
with pleasure and amnsement"— i>r. JolM BaarrVt OMte. if
Vogatet, Mndua. See Pdichas, Saiii>b.

An abstract of Haklnyt's labours will be found ia
Oldys's Brit. Lib., 136-168. The compiler declares that
" this elaborate and excellent collection"

" Redounds as much to the Glory of the EnffUth Nation, as any
Book that ever was published In IL"

** Every reader oonverwint In the annals of our naval tranasfr
ttons wUl ebserfWly acknowledge the merit of HIehard Hakluyt,
wbo devoted bis studies to the Inveetlgatloa of tbcas periods of
English History which regard the Improvement of navigation and
commerce. . . . Thns anuwted and encouraged, [by Sir Fmncls
Walslngham and Sir Philip Sidney.] he was eoabled to leave to

** Works like theee [Hakluyt and Purchas] are very curlon*

and erednUty— of the nature of the human mind and of human
alfidrs. Mudl more la. Indeed, offered to a refined and phlloeopUe

After the completion of this work Mr. Hale visited Eu-
rope and other portions of the Eastern Continent, and on
his return was admitted to the bar. He is now engaged
In the dnUea of his profession, but occasionally steals an
hour fVom his briefs to contribute a prize essay on his
&Toorite theme to some periodical in this country or in
Oieat Britain.

Hale, John. Surgical Case, Loo., 1787, Sto.

Hale, Sir Matthew, 1S09-IS78, one of the moat
•mineni of lawyers and excellent of men, waa a native of
Alderley, Oloncesterabire, entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford,
1626, and admitted of Lincoln's Inn, 1820. He refused to
take any part in the political broables of his time, though
•troDgly opposed to the mnrder of Charles I. In 161i3 he
waa one of those appointed to effect a reformation of the
taw, and in the next year was by writ made sergeant-at-)aw,
and one of the Judges of the Common Bench. Upon the
Beatoration, Charles IL, in 1660, made him Chief-Baron
of the Ezebeqner, and in 1671 he was promoted to the
high dignity of Lord Cbief-Jnstioe of England. For the

There are few more illustrious names on the roU of
British history than that of Sir Matthew Hale :

" Sir Hamnel Sheperd mentloiiad him as the most learned moa
that ever adorned the bench; the most even man that ever blesssd
domestic life; the most eminent man that ever adorned tbe pro-
gren of soienoe ; and also one of tbe best and most purely rSU-

Sons men that ever lived. . . . Lord Nortblngton pronounced
m one ot tbe ablest and most learned Judges tast ever sdomed
the profession. Mr. Justice Grose declarMl he was one of the most
able lawyers that ever sat In Weftminstar; as oon«ct, as learned,
and as bnmane a Judge as ever graced tbe bench of Justice. Lord
Kenyon said that the operations at bis vast mind always called
Ibr the greatest sttentlon to any work that bears bis name; ....
and mentioned him as one of the greaiast and best men that ever
sat in Judgmeat.''

" With respect to Lord Hale, it is needless to remind those whoea
I am now sadresslng, of the general character for learning and
legal knowledge, of that person, of whom It was said, that what was
not known by bim wss not known by any other pereon who pr^
ceded or ftllowed him; and that what he knew, be knew better
than any other person who preceded or followed him."— Cuxr-
JusTxci Dallas.

"A luminous order In tlie distribution of subjects, an uncom-
monness of materials for curious records and manascripts, a pro-
fottttdness of remark, a command of perspleuons and fbicible
language, with a guarded reserve In offering oplnkms on great
controverted polnta of law and the oonetltution, characterised the
writings of Judge Hsle." — Bargrave't A^rcCs, Pr^.

Having offered tbe opinions of so many legal luminaries
in evidence, we may now be permitted to adduce the testi-
mony of two distingniahed divines :

** His writings have raised blm a character equal to bis greatest
predeeeSBors, and will always be esteemed ss containing the best
rationale of the grounds of tbe law of England. Nor was be asi
tnconsiteable master of polite, pbllosophiesl, and sapeeially tluo-
h>gical, learning."— Da. BixcH : Life of ^r-^'-'-'^— '^"-" —

ilWetem.
He was most precisely just ; Irisoinoch that I believe be would
have lost all he bad in the world rather than do an ntgnst set:
patient in hearing the most tedious speech which any man had to
make for himself; tbe pillar of jnstioe, the refuge of tbe subject
who ftsred oppreadou, and one of tbe greatest boDoura of his
mrOss^'s government; for, with some other upright judges, be
upheld the honour of the Kngllsfa nation, that It tbU not Into the
reproach of arUtrarinees, cruelty, and utter confbsion. Every
man that bad a Just eause was almost past ftar if be could but
bring it to tbe court or assise where he was Judge; for the other
Judi^ seldom eontradleted him. ... I, who heard and read his
serious expressloas of the ooneemmenta of eternity, and saw his
love to all good men, and the blamelessoess of bu lUb, thought
better of his piety than my own.'* — Richard Baxtsx.

This la indeed a noble tribute <tam a noble aonre*.
The glowing eulogiom of Cowper mnat not be entire^
nnnotieed :

"In whom
Our British Themis gioried with just cause,
Immortal Hale I for deep discernment praised,
And sound Intsgrtty, not more than &nied
for Sanctis of mennen nndeaisd."

Hale, Nathan, LL.D., b. 1784, at Weatbampton,
Maaa., grad. at Williama College, 1801; admitted to the
Haaaachusetta Bar, 1810; editor of the Boaton Weekly
Meaaenger, 1811-14; editor and publisher of the Boston
Daily Advertiser, (the first daily eatabliahed in Boaton,)
1814 to the present time, 1858 ; editor and publisher of
the Monthly Chroaiole, 1840-43. Hr. H.'a name is well
known in connexion with his Map of Ifew England, a
standard geographical authority, Arat pub. in 1825, and
teprinted from time to time with the necessary revisioas.
In 1816 Mr. Hale was married to Sarah Praston Srerett,
a daughter of Judge Oliver Everett, of Dorchester, Mass.,
and sister of Edward Everett, the distinguiahed American
orator, scholar, and statesman. Mr. Hale was a oontri-
bntor to many of the early numbers of the Korth Ame-
rican Review, and has for the last forty-two years oontri-
bntad many valuable artielea to tbe Boston Daily Advertiser
on questions of politics, political eoonomy, and internal
impiOTements, Ac. Nathan Hale waa among the first to
maJce known in this country the importance of the great
railroad-improvement, and earnestly urged its immodiato
introduction into Maaeachusetta by efiective legislative aid.
He waa the acting Preaident of the Masaachuaetta Board
of Internal Improvement, under whose superintendence the
first surveys were made for a system of railroads for the
State; and bo was the first President of the Boston and
Woroester Railroad, one of the pioneer works of that kind,
In which office he took an active part in the original eon-
■truotion and extended improvements of that work and its
branches, and in digesting its system of operations. Aa a
member (repeatedly elected) of both branches of the Legis-
lature of Maaaachusetts, Mr. Hale haa rendered important
■ervice to hia constituents. He waa also chairman of the
Board of Commissioners by whose labours the people of
Boston are supplied with pure water; and few men have
contributed more largely to the physical wealth of Massa-
ohuaetts, and to the improvement of the city which cloimi
bim as one of the most valuable of her adopted sons.

a dlstingnisbed lawyer, who died at an early age in 1833.
In 1838 Mn. Hale became the editor of The Ladies' Maga-
line, pub. at Boston, and discharged the duties of this
responsible position antil 1837, when this periodical was
united with the Lady's Book of Philadelphia. With this
well-known and truly popular magasine Mrs. Hale haa
over since been connected, and since 1838 she has been a
resident of Phila. The following list of this lady's pro-

enough matter, in the way of tales, essays, and poeass, to

the Synod of Dort in 1 618, and there became a convert to
ArmiDianiam throagh the argument of Epiaeoplna ; Canon
of Windsor, 1639 ; ^ected in the Rebellion. His writings
prineipallj consist of sermons, theological tracts, para-
phrases of portions of Soriptors, and Utters. Ho was so
modest that daring his lifetime he permitted nothing of
bis to be pabliahed save an oration delirered at the funeral
of Sir Thomas Bodley, a treatise upon schism, and one or
two sermons. Three years after his death a eollectire ed.
of many of his pieces was pub., under the title of Oolden
Bemaines, Lon., 1669, 8to ; 1673, Ito ; 1688, Svo. The 1st

In 1766 Lord Hailes pnb. Hales's Whole Works, now first
eolleotod together, 3 toIs. sm. 8ro. With a want of taste
which wa are at a loss to understand in so eminent an
•ntiquaiy, Lord Hailes oommittad the gross error of
nodemiiing his antbor's langntge. For this be is pro-
perly eeosnred by Dr. Johnson :

"An antticr'i languace, Sir, is a ebarscterlstlo part of Ms eompo-
sMoD, «nd is also elianeteristle of tlie ags In which he wrftm.
Beddaa, Sir, wfaen the language la ehanged, we era not sure that
the sense Is the same. No, 8lr; lam sorr; Lord Hallaa has done
lUa."— AiiHiri JAf* <if J<A>um.

Wa hare already ezpreeaed oar views upon this subject
in oar article on Chaucer: see p. 361. Respecting the
works of Hales, an authority of eminence remarks :

" Their merits are unequaL The best seem to be bli dlsconrae
OB Schism, that on the abuse of bard places of Scripture, and bla
latteii to Sir Dadley Carieton, from tbe Synod of Dort, In which
be clTes a good aeeoant of that fti^fluned conventlaa. He was
avi&ntly a man aupertor to many of tbe prejudices of bla age; but
If fbe readar'a azpectatlons are rmlaed very greatly by hla hlsh-
sonnding title and the testlmonlea referred to, be will probably
he disappointed eren by his Oolden Rematna*— Orau's Bibl. Bib.
But sorely it does not follow that all of a man's wisdom
flnds its way into his books. As regards the eomprehen-
sireness and acenracy of his learning, we have the most
abundant testimony. Lord Clarendon, Lord Say and
Seal, Bishop Pearson, Dr. Heylin, Andrew Marvel, An-
Ikony i Wood, Bishop Stillingfleet, and Bishop Hoadley,
— " ttie testimonies" referred to by Orme, — were not men
to err in a matter of this kind.

"■A man of as great a ibarpneaa, qnickneaa, and subtllity of wit,
as erer this or perhape any nation brad. Hla lodnatiy did strive,
If It were pcaalDle, to equal the largeneea of hla capacity, wbereby
he beoame as great a maater of polito, varlouB, and nnlTeraal learn-
ing, aa ever yet eonveraed with booka . . . While he lived, none
was ever more aolldted and urged to write, and thereby truly
teach the world, than he ; but none was ever so resolved, paidon
the axpresaion, ao obstinate, aipilnst It."— Bisaor Fsuson.

"thnf the whole eoutse c^hls bachelorship there wss never any

Hi* lordship tails as that " nothing troubled him more
than tha bnnrls which were grown from taligion ;" and Mr.
Biekanteth supposes that he " would perhaps have given
vp too mneh for peace, having seen the evil of dirisioD.''

la this snrmisa there is bat little doubt that Mr. Bioker-
■latli is eoiTMt, for a lata eminent authority, raferring to
Hale's timet on Schism, remarks :

lUostrate Fameliei of Lanoastre and York, Lon., 1648, fol.
This is iopposed to be the ilrat edition, but it is alleged
there is one bearing date 1642. Respecting this question,
■ee authorities referred to below. This work waa continued
only to 1532. Hall left the continuation in HS., and
Graflon completed it and printed it in 1660, foL In 1666
it was prohibited by proolamatlon. Reprinted, 1809, 2
vols. 4to. We hare alnady tefanred to Bishop Nioolton's
opinion of this work :

" Be wrote a large aeeonnt of tba tav-nenthmad wars, which,
In a Toiy Sattaring epistle, he dedkaled to Henry Till. If the
reader desires to know what sort of deaths wen worn in each
king's reign, and how the Ihshlons altered, this is an historian
Air his purpose; but In other matters his Inlbnnatlon Is not Teiy
Taluabls."— Av. BUL LSI).
But Heame dispnies this:

"All thseopiea I have yet seen or heard of are dedicated to Edw.
TI.,and the dedication Is br from being Battering. The informa-
tions, too, are all along so Tery good, abating that the chronology
Is here and there wrong, that they Inre been, and will always be,
highly rained by the moat curious men. He declines jdTlng any
account of eloaths and fiuhion, exoeptlng upon some sdemn oooa-
slon In King Heniy the £fehth's raign, and contents himself with
what Is triuy momantona.''— 4;ipai. to Hemmgi Ouai. Boda. IB-
gar., iL 9^8, ce.

Herbert supposes that Bishop Nioolson refers to the ed,
of 1642(?) and Heame to one of the other edits. Bat no
meh theory will reooneile statements sA directly opposed
to eaeh other. Bhakspeare and the other dramatists of
Ui day drew largely from Hall's Chronicles for materials
for their plots. See Bliss's Wood's Athen. Ozon. ; Cole's

" HaU Is in feet not only so harsh and ragged that he cannot

The other novel referred to by Mr. Hallam is Franoia
Qodwia's Man in the Moon. It has been supposed that
Swift borrowed the idea of QnlliTei's Travels from Hall's
Hnndns Alter et Idem : bnt see onr life of Francis 8od-
irar. We eonolade with some opinions respecting tha
geneial merits of this eminent divine as a Kholar and an
anihor :

" He was noted fiir a singular wit fioan bis yonOi: amestaente
ihetoridan and an dasant poet He understood many tongues ;
and In tbe rhetortck or bla own he was second to none that lived
In hia time."- Rxv. Johh Wamioon: ftatep HaVi fUMtnU
Sermott.

" He waa commonly called onr English Seneca, Ibr the pnrenaaa,
plainness, and fulness of his style. Not unhappy at eontroveralea,
mora happy at comments, very good In his character, better In his
sermons, best of all in hia meoltatlona. ... A witty poet when
young, a painfbl preacher and aolld divine in his middle, a patient

The obligations of the anthor of The Sentimental Jour-
ney to Bishop Hall have been exposed by an ingenions
critio, whose merits we have already considered :

"There Is a ddicaey of thought and tendemees of expreeslon In
tbe good Blsbop'a composltlona, fVom the tnnafoaiona of which
Sterna looked for Immortality." — Da. VxasjAa.

The next anthori^ to be quoted is not noted for enthn-
siastio eulogy of the old English divines ; but he can hardly
say enongh in faronr of Bishop HaU :

"Imaginative and copious eloquence, terse snd pointed seik-
tencee, nill of piety and devotion. Few writers mora likely to be
useful to [Divlni^] students. Let them thoroughly read and
dtgnat sucb a writer, and they will be furnished for most of the
aSa upon them."— Md-erseedt't C. a.

Here we must conclude, not fVom paneity of matter, bnt
narrowness of space. The similarity between Jenmy
Taylor and Bishop Hall has not escaped tbe eye of criti-
cism. A late eminent authority happUy dalnaa the pointi
of likenees and contrast :

Sir James said ha became attached to Robert Hall "be-

"They read together; thqr aat together at lectare, if fO^Ui;

In 1783 Mr. Hall aocepted an invitation (rem thaetank
at Broadmead to aasoeiata himself with Dr. Caleb Inai
as the assistant pastor. His first serm. had been pns^s^
when only sixteen years of age, to a congregation afaiaii-

"Ood U light and in Him is no darkness st aU,*hi
treated "thia mysterious and awfbl subject witk nek
metaphysical acumen, and drew from it sack an iapi»

need not be surprised, therefore, that after time yiair
intense application to metaphysics and stniUou psnal
of the best pulpit models, he produced such aa iaqrawa
on bis auditors as to " crowd the place of wankip Is
excess." In 1791 Mr. HoU assumed the pssteral ckufl
of the Baptist eohgtegation at Cambridge, in wklek ia-

Mr. Hall's devotion to study was carried to sa tusa

He little foresaw that he would be the anceeasor of the

&et Dr. Byland "ent«red into rest" in 1625, and in the

Hia aeparation from hia flock at Leieeater, among whom

■ffeeting.

which terminated fatally on the Slat of the aame month,
Hs died "the death of the righteone," and was never

the foretaata of that exceeding glory which " Qod hath

will be OUT guide even unto death." Surely

" The chamber where the good man meets his Ihte
Is privOeged beyond the common walks of life."

In the controversy excited by the French Revolntton

wwrda lagrattad that he waa ao much under the tnflnence
of the general azeitement as to bo drawn aside from his

"The Christian ministry Is in danger of losing something of its
■nofgy and sanetSty by wobarfcing on the stoimy element of po-

the one published was by no means the best

bmatlon of what in eloquence, ptalloeoplv, and rellgkw was beat
ealenlated to make a permanent and salutary tanj^ieMlon, thia aer-
mon probably stands unrivalled."

8o great waa hia reputation aa a preacher, that aome
persona were in the habit of travelling two nights, coming
and returning, for the pleaaure of hearing him on Sunday.
His friend. Dr. Gregory, gives ua a graphic acoonnt of one
of theae occaaiona :

" From the commencement of his discourse, an almoat bieathlosa
allenea prevailed, deeply impressive and solemnising ftom its slngu.
lar Intenseness. Not a sound was beard but that <n the preactaer'a
voice — scarcely an eye but was fixed upon him — not a countenance
that he did not watch, and read, and interpret, as he surveyed
them again and wain with his rapid, everexcarstve glance. Aa
he advanced and Inereased in animation, five or six of the audlton
would be seen to rise and lean forward over the front of their new%
BtUl keeping their eyee upon him. Some new or striking sentiment
or expression would. In a tnr minutes, cause olhen to rise In like
manner: shortly afterwards still more, and so on, until, long be-
fore the cloae of the sermon, it often happened that a oonsldenble
portion of the congregation were seen standing,— .every eye directed
to the preacher, yet now and then Ibr a moment riandng ftom one
to the other, thus transmitting and ledprocaung thought and
feeling:— Mr. Hall himself though manifestly absorbed In his
Buhfeet, oonsdous of the whole, reeedving new animation ftom
what be thus wltneeeed, reflecting It back upon those who were
already alive to the Insfmation, until all that were susceptible of
thought end emotion seemed wound up to the ntmoet limit of
etevatloa on tarih, — when he would cloee, and they reluctantly
resume their seats."

With this lifelike picture of preaehar and congregation
fresh in their minds, let our readers paruae the Sermon on
the death of tba Priacaaa Charlotte, or that entitled "The
Lamb of Qod," and imagine anoh a diaoonne eo delivered,
and they will not marvel when told that when Robert Hall
preached "the place of worahip waa crowded to excesa,"
and that men oonaidered the hearing of one aennon cheaply
purohaaed by the loaa of two nighta' reat. A writer in
" The Pulpit," who enjoyed the privilege of hearing Mr.
Hall'a aermon on the " Power of Ood," thua descrilras it :
" It was, without exception, the meet wondertU sermon I ever
heard. Every quality which could have been called Into exerdsa
on such an oeeasion seemed eoneentrated In this one sermon. Pro*
tmndly metaphysical, without bewildering himself or hia hearera^
and elegant without the shadow of affeelatlon— rapid In delivery,
without conftaslon — asieigetlc^ without rant— devout, without en-
thusiasm—commanding, without austerity — affectionate, without
cant — argumentative, without pedantry; the whole effect was be>
yond what It Is possible to conceive of pulpit eloquence."

Another writer gives na a speaking picture of thia great
orator:

"His figure was not commanding; thegeneral east of his conn-
teoanee was heavy; hia voice was feeble and tremulous, and In.
cuaiUe, In Itself of expreesing or eonvejing any deep emotion.
About action or gesture he was perfectly Indlflenmt; he usually
began in so low a tone as to be seaieely audible; and preserved, to
the last, one fixed, though unconstrained, position. As be was
warmed with his suhject, his countenance became animated, and
his voice, sttU retalniBg Its ehaiactar of breesy softness, swelled
Into a volume of delluitf^l melody, ^lille be was preaching,
such was the unassuming simplicity of his style and manner, and
natural fin-vour with whl^ he carried his hesrers slong, that they
entirely lost sight of the man tbr the moment As he apprcaebed
the end of his discourse, he became peculiarly animRted, though
not declamaton, — his audience were Interested, and,wl tb a rapidity
of utterance which fixed the reporter, like a statne, In admliatloQ,
and flreqnently defied all attempts at writing, he poured Ibrth the
various stores of bis vast imagination, and produced an eflbct of
whfeh few can conceive who have not witnessed It themselves."
Mr. Bosworth tells na

"Tnsenhebegsn,lu was ususlly calm and collected; speaking
in a low tone, ana looking onward as he went, as if to survey afieefi
the region of thought he was about to traverse, but not often giv-
ing an indication ot thoee torrents of eloquenee that were soon to
be poured ftom his lips. Bomstlmes, at the commencement he
hesitated, and ssemed perplexed, as If dlssatisfled with what ha

A eleriod eriUs tdU aa that,

■* Althoni^ Mr. Hall possessed considerable learning, he nnly
djsplajed it; generally preferring the most simple phrases he oould
aeleet, to express his meaning, to thoae of a leas femiliar or more
ambitioas elaia. On one occasion, being called upon to eondnde
a serrtee with prayer, after a sermon by Dr. Chalmers, who had
been eren more than ordinarily brilliant, he clothed hia addreas
to the Deity witb such afllKting plainness of s^le, that tlie con-
gregation, who bad been wrought up to a palnftal pitch of admira-
tton try the daisling eloquence of the preadiar, Mt a delightful
repose in the chaste, natnrml, tender simplicity of language in
irhleh Mr. Hall embodied his supplicaUons.*

Tlie reader will no doabt ba pleowd to read more upon
tluB theme:

" The bokl diction, the maJeaUe gait of the sentence, the tItU
niustntloa, the rebuke which oould scathe the offender, the burst
of honest indignation at triumphant Tlce, the biting aarcaam, the
ferrid appeal to the heart, the ssgaclous dhvelopaieat of principle,
the broad field of moral Tiaion — all theee distinguish the composi-
tlons of Bobert Hall ; and we bear our moat wUUng testimony to
their worth.*' — Lon. Quariexiy Renew,

MQis diction displays an unlimited oommand, and an exquisite
chotetL of language. His copious use of Scripture phrases bestows
upon his style an awfhl sanctity. The same purity of taste which
appears In his choice of words is equally apparent in tlie Ibrms of
expression into which thw are eomblned. Thetumof Ills pbrsses
Is giaeaftllly Mlomatin In the construction of his periods, he Is,
penups, superior toany other wilier. He seems to hare employed
eTery elegant and harmonious form of which the language admits ;
alwsya gratifying, often raTiahing, the ear, but nerer cloying It"

"The oriiinality with which be views erety sul^eet, and the
■Hater-hand with which he gnapa It, are altogether Tery remark-
able> He Ibllows in no track of other men ; neither bia tbooghta
DOT bis langusge are borrowed- A prodlgioua power of memory
In the use of Smpture, an exqalslte judgment in the dispofldtion
of his materlala, are nnited with a boldneas of eonoeptlon. and a
eraatlTe force of imaglnatloa, which stamp an impreaa of origi-
nality and Independence on all his reaannlnga."— ^ writer ut Ue
XoR. OirirUan Obterver.

" I cannot do better than relbr the acadamk reader to the im-
mortal works of Kobert HalL Tor moral grandeur, for Christian
truth, and for sublimity, we may doubt whether tbcnr have their
match In the aacrad oratory of any age or country.*— iVij/iaor

an T. N. Xtuoau: AiIpO Onlorf, m Xoa. Mag,, Aft. 1821.

The same eritio remarka that, in the Disoonne on the
Prospeot of aa Invasion by Napoleon, Mr. Hall

" Blends the flaest remembrance ofthe sntlque world— the dearest
associations of British patriotism— and the pare spirit of the Qospel
— 4n a attain aa noble aa eonid have been poured out by I^rtans."

«Bls ndnd Is Uttle to be enrled, If IVom the perusal of Robert
Ball he do not find himself a more aocompUahed, a wiser, and a
better man."— CAvret of Entbmd Quarler^ Seriea.

"The ssmons and treatises which he committed to the press
am mtthj of his derated character, and will erer rank among the
choicest spedmau of sacred llteratura. They ahow the strength
and haeufy of which the KngUsh language Is capablSL"— Z>r. mt>

" The excellence of Hr. Hall does not consist In the predominance
•f any one of his powers, but In the exquisite proportion and Iwr-
mony of alL" — 8m T. N. Tauouxs : see aitU.

We quote some eompariaona institated between Hall and
other writers. On these expreaaed opinions we forbear to
make an; comment. Some of onr reader* will anhcai-
tatingly oooour with them ; others will qnalify, and not %
few stOBtly contest them.

"He Is mere masrire than Addison, more eaay and nlioaB>

Hear Dngald Stewart, In the aame (train :

" Whoever wisbea to see the BnglUli language hi Its peifcUleat
must read the writings of that great divine, Robert HalL He
com bines the beautiea of Johnson, Addison, and Burke, withoat
tlielr Imcofeetiona"

For Hall's opinion of Dngald Stewart^ see Memoir bjr
Dr. Gregory; we have not room for aa extract here. If
these oritioisma savour of extravaganee, we think the oaa
inbjoinad iuurdly does Mr. Hall Jostioe :

" Hall iiL even ia print, much of the ontor; altboogh bis la»
gnag^ with all its richness, betrays, ia his published wrttiDn
svmptoms of anxious elaboration. Probably there could not he
dted from him any thing equal Iu foroe or originality to aooaa
ssges of Foster's, but It would still mors oertsialy be Impitsdhle
detect him indulging in feeble commonplaces."— Srauaa:
Biit of Btig. Lit.

An ardent admirer of Hall declares that

"He bad the Intellect of aa angel, the tiietyofaaalnt, and the
humility of a worm."

" One of the most able of modem wrltetn, with a dear, arg»
mentatlve, powerful, maacnilne mind, and a correct stalesnsnt at
evangelleal truth; . . . of liniilar viewa la ganand doctrine to Scott
and Fuller. ... A powerful and fkithfUl writer, excepting bis
political pamphleta, which are a beacon to warn mIniaterB iW»a
each Bulgecta. ... A remarkable vigour of Intellect and power
of langnagB distinguish his writings."— BKtrrsfatt'i a S.

"In hli higher flights, what he said of Burke might, with the
slightoet deduction, be applied to himself 'that his imperial ikac^
laid all nature under tribute, and coUeeted richea fVom everr
scene cf the Creation and every walk of art;' ^ea Boasa, in tlua
volume,] and at the aame time, that oonld be afllrmed of Mr. BaU
which could nof be affirmed of Mr. Barker — that he never fktigued

" It is to be obeerved that imsgiiiation had always been a sab.

SrollBc power which threw so vaat profoslon over the oratory of

" His published sermons will always be ranked amongst tiie

opinions respecting the merits of this populsr writer :

■* Mrs. Hall baa already shown her litaess for the task by aa In-
timate acquaintance with that daas of Irish life which affords the
animated portion of her descriptions. She paints tbe peasant^
and working-classes of the country with fidelity, and her pen is

CerltiMj BSalsted by the prodoetiona of the pencil which she
called to her sld."— /^>ft. AUunaum : wXim 4/ Skttchu qf

" Tbe Irish Sketches of this lady resemble considerably Hiss
Mitford's beautUtal English sketehes In Our Tillage; but they an
mon Tigorous and pletnresquey and bright with an anfanaled and
warm natlanallty, apdogatK and defenelTe, which Miss MItford,
writing of one dase of KngUsh to another, had no occaaion to use.''
— Blaac¥)ooit Mof^ voL IxsriL

" Mrs. Hall is najly a charming writer ; and her Iriah stories
more especially — not at all like Hlaa Sdgeworth's Talea or Croftoa
Croker's fairy Legends, both admirable In their way— are tail of
life and character, with that mixture of humour and pathos
which seems the natlTc temperBment of the children of Ertn.' —
ixm. EbUcticItm.

" In her Irish stories Mrs. Hall excda Her msUc maidens an
copied ft^ the cottage ; nothing can be mon Mthfnl and lively s
nor are her hinds and husbandmen any thing inlbrlor. We no-
where see tbe Irish character more Justly er so pleeeantly repn>
nnted. She sees Nature in her proper dlmensionB; there u fency,
but no exajOereUon, and life always." — ALLkn CmrlluaHUi : Siog,

It is indeed high pnuse which has been awarded to thig
lady, that

" There is, also, In every thing she hee published, tbe still higher

Hall, Mrs. Sarah, 1761-1830, a lady of gnat virtues
and aecomplishments, a native of Philadelphia, was a
daughter of the Rev. John Ewing, D.D., for many years
Provost of the University of Pennsylvania and Pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. In 1783
Miss Ewins was married to Mr. John Hall, of Maryland,
and after this event resided alternately in the latter State
and in Philadelphia, with the ezoeption of four yean
passed in Lamberton, New Jersey. Mrs. Hall is best
known as the author of Conversations on the Bible, of
which four edits, were pub. in this country and one or two
in London ; 1st edit., 1818, ISmo. A 2d vol. was added
and the whole issued in 1821, 2 vols. ISmo; 5th ed., 1837,
12mo, pp. 360. Tbis volume has been highly commended:

" This work Is written with that ease and simplicity which b^
longs to true genius, and contains a fVmd of Infbrmation which
conld only have been collected by diligent reeearch and mature
thonghL'— Faoroeoa Jouir & Han, tfPhaaMfliia.

lbs. Hall was a contributor to the Portfolio, of which
her son, John E. Hall, was for more than ten years tba
editor ; and her essays and eriticisms pub. In that peri-

•May readOy be distfai|nddied, aa well by their vivacity as the

A small voL, containing selections from her miscella-

ains, in Verse and Prose, of Arthur Henry Hallam,
Lon., 1884. PriTately printed. Mr. Hallam was betrothed
to a alster of the poet Tennyson, and the /n Memoriam of
the latter ia a dirge for the departed. See estimate of the
literary character of young Hallam in the Iforth British
Beview, ziT. 261 ; Lon. Qent Mag., Oct 1852 : 353 ; Black-
wood's Mag., xxxrilL 738. See also Lockhart'a Life of
Scott for a specimen of young Ballam's poetical powers.

Hallam, Henry, LL.D., one of the most distin-
guished of modem authors, waa bom about 1778, and was
educated at Eton and Oxford. After leaving college he
settled in London, which has erer aince been bis prinoipal
place of residence. He waa a valued friend of Sir Widtsr
oeott, and the two were engaged about the same time as
ooBtributors to the Edinburgh Review. As a sealona oo-
(mscator with William Wilberforce in the abolishment of
the Slave Trade, Mr. Hallam gained great and deserved
reputation. Mr. Hallam ia a Foreign Associate of the
Institate of France. In 1830 he received one of the two
ilfty-guinea gold medals instituted by Oeorge IV. for aml-
nenoe in historieal composition. The other waa awarded
to our celebrated countryman, Waabington Irving. Mr.
Hallam is the aathor of three great works, either of which
is of suficient merit to confer npon the author literary
immortaUtw.

Lord Brougham ialla into an error, in oommenting on
the principal theme ductused in this Tork, hardly to l>e
•speoted from one who has devoted ao moch attontion to
Its aubjeot-matter. Uia lordahip aaeigna ai one of his
prinoipal reasons for entering at large, in his Political
f hilosopbj, into the earlier stages of the British Con-
■iitatioa, Mr. Hallam's having oonuneneed his irork with
tile reign of Heni7 VIL :

" Hia treatlaa, and that of Lord John BasasU, have one great
deftMit Id common : — they begin with the Tudors. Now, it is quite
nndeniable that tlia foundatlona of our conatttntion were laid
many centnrlea before tlie fifteenth ; nor caa any one hope tho-
nognly to oomprAend it who liaa not gone back to the earlier

error, Law Studies, 2d ed., 368, 270.

In his disquisitions into the theology, the politios, and
the learning of the Middle Ages, Mr. Hallam was not
likely to provoke any other oritioism than that which was
eenneoted with the subjects disonssed without reference to
prejndiea »r party feeling. But ha could not write The
OonstitBtianal History of England without soon proving
to himself and to tha world that he was walking upon
wbes under which tho Sre was not extinguished :

Mr. Sonthey, in a review extending over no less than
rixty-slx pages, rated the historian in no gentle terms for
bis real or i^eged offences against histoiic veracity. We
bave room for a brief extract only :

" Tlie book ia the production of a decided partisan; preaenting
Dot the lilatory ltsal( but what la called tlie philosophy of hiatory,
and to be received with tlie more anapldon, because it deals In
deduetioiis and not in detaila. There are many ways in which
history may be rendered inaldiona; but tllere la no other way by
which an author can, with ao much apparent good fldth, mialead
bis readers. . . .

h the advlao wldefa Donne givsa to talm who would derive whdom
from the cearse or naaaing events. A writer of contenporaiy hto-
tory could take no better motta Hr. Hallam haa prooaaded npon
a ayatem precisely the reverae of this; and carried into the hiatory

It is to this review that Wilherforoe refen, when ha
■ays:

••gentbey, a bitter oltle, sod works Hallam with great asute-
Bssa and Sine. "

But audi aluram parttm. The orittque from which we
have Just quoted was poblishad in January, 1838, and in
fbe September following there appeared a p<H>er of great
kriUiancy and power — with tia politieal merits or demerits
we have here no ooaeem — ^in the Edinburgh Review, the
prodaetioa of one who baa since himself gained a great
name in the walks of History. It will be seen that his
Mtiinato of Mr. Hallam'a honesty as a historian is very
diflerent from that recorded by Mr. Soutbey ;

Hacaulat : Attn. Jim., xlvllL 96-188.

The following testimony to the same elTeol^ fh>m a very
eminent authority, should not be omitted in this con-
nexion:

" Mr. Hallam's Conatitutional Hiatory cf Kngland I must ear-
nsstly reoommend, for It la a work of gnat research, great ability,
great impartially, often cf very laanly eloquence; the work of an
eallghtened lawyer, an aeeompUshed scholar, and a ateady aasertor
of the best Intensta of mankind. It Is a aouroe of great aatlsfte>
tion to me that audi a work exteta, for every page la fUU of atate*
mente and opinions on every topic and diaractar of consequence
ainoe the reign of Henry the Seventh; and theae santtmenta and
opinions ars so learned and well reasoned, that I am quite gratified
to think tliat the student can now never want a guide and an in-
structor worthy to conduct and counsel him In his conatitutiona]
inquiries. Mr. Hallam la, indeed, a atom and aeven critic, and the
student may be allowed to love and hononr many of our patriots,
statesmen, and dlvlnea. In a mon warm and unqualified manner
than doea Mr. Hallam ; but the perfect calmneaa of Hr. Hallam'a
temperament makes his standard at moral and political virtne
high, and the fitter on that account to be presented to youthful
minda.

"Then an objeetionable jiaaaagDii, and even stnnge passages,
more particularly In the notes; but they sra ot no ooDsequenee In
aworkofaovaatanngsiaodafaomaehmerlt AndMr.Hallam
may have given offence, which eouM never have been bla Inten-
tion, to some good men, to whom tbeIr aotebUshmento an natn-
lally ao dear; but I aee not how thia waa to be avoided, If he waa
to render equal JusOee to sll paraons and parties, all secta and
ehurcbea. In their turn, — and a he waa to do his duty, as he has
nobly done, to the civil and rellgkina llbsrtisa of his country."—
Prqf. SmyM$ UcU. on Mod. Bill., 1838.

A great historian of our own country pays the following
high compliment to Mr. Hallam's treatment of one of the
principal characters of his Histoiy :

" The unprajudloed reader may peniape agree that the balanoa
of thia great qusen'a [Elliabeth] good and bad qualities la held
with a more steady and Impartial hand by Mr. Hslbun than any
preceding writer."— Wii. H. FasaooR : Rrdiiumd aad ItabeOa, Uth
ed.,llLMl.

The value of Mr. Hallam's work to the legal a tadeat
need hardly be enlarged npon ; but here we shall addnea
an authority wfaioh will be more valued than our own ;

" No one can understand or appreciate tfala admirable work, who
has not, before entering npon It, beoome fiimlllar with at least tha
leading erente of Sngllsh history; aad no one has made any aen-
alble advanoea towarda the enviable character of a aonnd conatitu*
ttonal lawyer, who ia not VurmighLy famiHiar with the work. Net

other politioal author exhibiting such a rare nnlcm of candour,
learning, and aagadty, aa cliancteriaea thia bold and Independent

In the 4tb ed. tiie text was revised, and suoh errors as the
author discovered were removed. The few additional notes

plays Ite Tsriona departments In their dmnlUneons condition

Mr. Hallam then proceeds to give a rapid aketoh of the
bibliography of Literary History.

" Hw most Important aingle volume that It haa fbr aoane yeara

lam wUl confirm the solid and anbstantlal reputation which be bad

Hr. Preacott, noticing the &ot that tha English have
made but slender oontribntions to the history of foreign
literature, remarks :

" The dafldsncy, indeed. Is likely to be supplied, to a certein ex-
tent, by the wort of Mr. Hallam, now In pfcgiesa cf pnblieatloai

tlve calmness of the eighteenth century, but Uie fervour and ani-
mation of Its close communicated itself to tlle historical works of

of the cominc change; his worlu mark the tmnsitkin from one age
and style of Utaiatore to another. Inextentandvariety of laarn-
tBg. and a deep acqnahitanee with antiquarian lore, the historian
of the Middle Agea may deservedly take a place with the most eml-
nent wrHera In that s^le that Bnrope has produced ; but his style
Is more imagioailve than those of Us laborious predeceseors, and

The following little piece of pleasantry of Sydney Smith's
eao hardly fail to provoke a amile from the amiable reader :

" In bla vcyaga up the Bhlne, Campbell met on the steamboat

HaUe«k, Fits-Greeae, an eminent American pce^
b. at Onilford, Conneetieat, in Angnit, 1796, entered a
banking-house in New York in 181S, and resided in that
city, engaged in mercantile and kindred porauita, mtil
1849, whan he retatrned to hia native town in Connecticut,
where he now reaidea. For many yeara he aeted aa eon-
fldential agent for John Jacob Aator. Mr. Hallaok com-
menced oontribnting to the papera of the day at an eariy
age, and, when aettled in New Tork, aoon became u aa-
Booiate of the wita of the town, eompriaing the " mob of
gentlemen who wrote with eaae." In 181t he made (he
aeqtuintance of Joaeph Rodman Drake, who waa ao mneh
pleased with hia new friend that he admitted him into
partnerahlp in the compoaition of the Croker Papers, pnlx
in the New Tork Evening Poat, 1811). The history of
these aprightly aalliaa baa been already referred to in oar

merits of Hamilton exclusirely, although, indeed, by for
tha larger share of each of the eulogies cited above be-
looga by right to him :

aad unbounded honours. Bow long shall the "publie
opinion" of fools, bravoes, and cowards — for of these de-
graded claaees nine-tenths of your duellists and their
apologists are composed — have power to terrify such
noble characters as Alexander Hamilton into open and
Impious defiance of the laws of Qod and man ? Yet it is
no smidl satisfaction to know tliat be deeply regretted his
error, and sought reconciliation with his Maker with
"unfeigned humiliation and a trembling hope." Imme-
diately before participating in that solemn rite by whiek
the Church reminds the departing believer of the eifectaal
atonement once ofiered for the sins of men, he declared :

■* I have a tender reliance on the mercy of the Almighty through
the merits of the Lord Jesus Chriat.'*

He was a careful student of the oracles of Divine Reve-
lation ; and, as the author of thia Dictionary was assured
by bis respected widow, his Bible still retains Uie pencilled
indioations of the interest excited in his mind by the pe-
rusal of partioular passages of the Scriptures.

But we do not feel willing to leave the contemplation
of his memory without some further quotations to the emi-
nent abilities of this illustrious man :

^ The name of Hamilton would have honoured Greece In the age
of Arlstldes. May Heaven, the guardian of our liberty, grant that
our country may be fruitful of Hamiltons, and fldthfm to their
glory. . . . Vlrttie so rare, so pure, so bold, by Its very purity and
excellence Inspired suspklon as s prodigy. Hia enemies judged
of lilm by theraielvea; so splendid and ardnoua were his services^
tbey coiud not find It In their hearts to believe that tbey were
dlsmterested."— FiSBiB Anas: Slcdak qfihe Ouaraclero/ Alexander
BamiUm, 1804.

In the following sentence Ames is thonght to have
admirably ezpreased the public virtnea and aocial attrao-
lions of Hamilton :

" It is not as Apollo, enchanting the shenhmds with bis lyn,
that we deplore him ; It la as Hercules, treaen«nusly slsin In thS
midst of his nnflnlshed Ubours, leaving tha wotld ovecmn with
monsters."

" Melancholy, moat melancholy news Ibr America — the pram^
ture death of her greateat man, Majoi^eueral Hamilton I . . . His
most stupendous talents, which set htm above livalahlp, and hSa
Integrity, with whfcdi intrlgne had not the luurdihoad to tampasv
held him up aa the nation's hops and as tha terror of the nnprla*
elpled."— Rsv. Da. Johh M. Much : LeOrr to a .fVioid ta 5t»<ia»i
.itV. 11,1804. And see his Eulogy on HamUtonbefOrs the Soolaly
of the Ondnnatl, in New York.

"Writing to a European eorremondent who had taken acme
exceptions to portions of this Oratfen iu honour of Hamilton, Dr.
Mason remarks as fellows In defence of tlie high poritton wUdi
he bad aacrlbed to the soldlerstateaman of the Revolution ;

** ■ It Is very lutural that readers on your side ot the water should
suspect the eulogism to be overcharged. 8o do some among our-
selvee ; but ntd one vho Icnev kim, I knew him well, and 1 aasura
yon that what 1 have said is sober, literal truth. Such a human
oeinK I never mw, and probably never stisll see In this world.*

** In auothar lettsr, soon after the calamity of Hamilton's death,
he writes :

" > The greatest statesman in the Western World, perhapa the
greateet man of the age, has been cut off In the 48th year of Ua
age by the murderous arm of Vloe-l'resldent Burr. The death of
Uajot^anetal Alexander Hamilton has created a waste In the

3 hers of Intellect and probity which a century will hardly fill up.
e has left none like him ; no second, no third, nobody to put us
In mind of him. Ton can have no conception of such a man uft.
leaa you knew him.'

" That the Knkgy of Hamilton as pronounoed I17 Dr. Maaon
was not exaggemted in Ita admiring portmltnra is the testimony
of a Judicial mind like that of John Haisball. In acknowledging
the receipt of a copy of Dr. M.'s oration, that pure-minded Jurlat
wrote as fbllows :

** ' I lament sineenly tbs ioss of the great man whose ebaraetar
you have dravm so weiL While I truly deplore bis late, I may be
permitted to Indulge a hope that It may have some tendency to
east odium on a practice which deasrvea every cenaure you have
bestowed upon it.'"

Dr. Mason Was engaged for a number of years in pra-
paring materials for a life of Hamilton, but never com-
pleted his design. See Tan Vechten's Life of Dr. Mason,
K. York, 1858.

The marvellous efTects of the genius of Hamilton, when
applied to the disordered finances of the young American
republic, exhibit one of the most remarkable evidences of
his pre-eminent abilities :

" At the time when onr gorernment was orEsnlxed we were
without ftands, tbongb not without resources. To call them Into
actkm and eatabllsh order In tbs finances, Wsshiagton sought Mr
splendid talents, lot extensive Infcrmatkm, and, above all, be
aougfat Ibr sterling, Inoerruptible intanity. All Uleae he Itonnd
In Haoiilton.'' — QoovxanxuR Moaais : Inmaral Oration Ay Ma dead
bcd^ Iff JOimeUm.

" He smote tbs roek of the national rsaonreea, and abundant
streams of revenue gushed Ibrth. He toaehed the dead eorpoe sf
the Public Credit, and It sprung upon Its feat. Tbs kbled Urth

to : his own was not always unimpeachable. Dr. Dibdia'l
comment upon this volume should not be omitted in this
connexion :

"One hardly knows wfasrofora^ bnt tha leaves of thia book an
turned over 1^ banda and perused by eyea which are forUdden ts
be ezerdsad on other boMta of compantlvaly leaa mlKhiel It
may Indeed be called, in too many inatancee, a priTilegad velsas

Hamilton, James, "author of the Hamiltoniaa
system," excited mnch attention in the learned world by
his publications (Lon., 1824, Ac.) of interlinear English
translations of books in various languages. The authority
of Asoham, Cardinal Wolsey, Erasmus, Milton, and Loeke^
are adduced in support of tiie excellence of the theory :

" We do snias to spend seven or elAt years In scraping to-
gether so mnch misenble Uktln and Graak as may be learned
otherwiae easily and delightfully In one year."— Jomi Miuoi:
LMer to BttrOio.

■VWhan, by this way oflnterilning Lattn and BnglUh one with
another, ha has got a moderate knowledge of the Latin tongue, be
may then be advanced a little ftarthar. Nor let the olt)ectlon that
he will then know It only by rote fiighten any one. This, whan
well considered. Is not of any moment sgslnst, out plainly for, this
way of learning a language. Tha laniraagea are only to be kaimed
by rota; and he that speaks them well has no other nde but that."
— JOHX Locaa: a«y on a SfMttm qf daoiail JiufnwMm.

The Hamiltonian system is warmly defended, and wa
think very ably, by the Rev. Sydney Smith, in tha Ed^in.
Bar., xUt. 47-Oft; repub. in his Miscellanies. We quota
the conclusion of this amusing and yet convincing assay:

'^ In flne, we are strongly persuaded that, the time being gtren,
this system will make better acholaia; and, tha decree of scoolar.
ship being given, a mnch shorter time will be needed. If there Is
any tmth In this. It will make Mr. Hamilton one of the most use*
fm men of his age ; for. If there Is any thing which IIUs reflecting
men with melancholy and regret, it Is the waste of mortal tluMk
parental mon^, and puerile happiness. In the present method of
pursuing Latin snd Greek."

Hamilton, Sir William, Bart, of Preston, of the
ancient Scottish family of this name, one of the most dis-
tinguished of modem metaphysioiana, was bom at Glasgow
in 1788, and educated at Balliol College, Oxford, where
he obtained Srst-class lioaours. In 1813 he was called to
the Bcottish Bar, bat never engaged in oKtensire praetlee.
In 1820 he was an nnsueeeasfnl competitor with John WU-
son fbr the chair of Moral Philosophy in the Unirersity of
Edinburgh; but in 1821 he was appointed Professor of
Unirersal History in that inatitntion, and in 1836 was
called to the chair of Logic and Hetaphyaiea, which he
still retaina, (1866.) He ia also Her Majesty's Solicitor
for Teinda, in Scotland, a Corresponding Member of the
Inatitnte of France, and an Aaaociate of many learned
bodies. Bee Men of the Time, Lon., 1856. A brief hiatoiT
of Sir William's contributions to Mental Philosophy wiu
be found in Rich's Cyclopaodia, Lon. and Glaag., 1864.
In 1852 (Lon. and Edin., Sro, pp. 768) there appeared
Diacnaaiona on Philosophy and Literature, Education and
TTnirersity Reform, chiefly from the Edinburgh Review ;
Corrected, Vindicated, Enlarged in Notes and Appendices,

Introduotoi7 Essay on the history of philosophical speca-
lation, by Robert l^umbull, D.D.

His principal eesays hare been tnms. into French by
W. Feisse, and into Italian by S. Lo Gatto. .Sir MWliam
pnb. in 1846, Lon. and Edin., Sro, pp. 914, the works of
Thos. Reid, D.D., now fully collected, with Beleetions
from his Unpublished Letters, Prefaces, Notes, and Sup-
plementary Diaacrtationa, 3d ed., 1862. He ia now en-
gaged in the preparation of the works of Dngald Stowart|
Vol. VIIL was pub. in April, and Vol. IX. in May, 1866.
(Sir William did not lire to oompleto his editorial laboais :
see eondnsion of this article, and see also Lon. Athenaeum,
May U>, 1866, and Lon. Gent Hag., June, 1866.) A rol.
entitled The Philosophy of Sir William Hamilton, arranged

It is a mattor of regret that the limited space to which we
an neoessarily oonflned precludes us from quoting largely
ftfom the enthusiastic commendations before us of the dis-
tinguished abilities and profound erudition of this eminent
phuosopher. In an interesting paper by De Qnincey,
giring an aeeount of his leeoUeetions of Bir William's
eariy reputation for general knowledge, he remarks :

" lbs tanmenaity at Sir WllUam's attainments was best laid
open by oonaultlng him (or by bearing him consulted) upon in-
lellectual difllcultlea, or upon acbamas Uteiwy and philosophicaL
Such applications, oome man what points of the compass tba^
woald, Ibund him always prepared. Nor did it seem to make any
dUforenee whether it were the erudition of words or tilings thM
was needed."— Asiqra on i'MIosiipMaBt oad cMer ifm ^ Mian, L

Hamilton, William G«ntt4, H.P., 172»-17M,
a native of London, who held sereial important pdi-
tieal posts, made in the House of Conunona, Nor. IS, 175S,
that splendid display of eloquence which haa given him
the name of SnieLs-BpsECB Hum-Tov. But, iidaed,
he made a second great speech ia the month of Febni-
ary. Hamilton was one of the many to whom withott
a shadow of probability the Letters of Junius were attri-
buted. He waa educated at Oxford, and when young wrote
some poetry, which he printed — bnt never publiihed— in a
quarto rolome, 1757, 4to. These were subsequently psh.
by Mr. Halone. After his death there appeared, pub. from
his HSS., Parliamentary Logick : to which are subjoined
Two Speeohea delivered in the H. of C. of Ireland, and
other Pieces, fte., Lon., 1808, 8to, This oolleetion cos-
tains an Essay on the Com Laws, by Dr. SamL Johnson,
nerer before printed. A reriaw of this roL by Lord JeSrsj
will be found in the Edin. Ber., zr. 1 (I3-17S. The reviewer
considers it rather remarkable that a " short practical tna-
tiae in parliamentary oratory, by a man who waa long popa-
larly supposed to hare riralled the eloquence of Chathan,
and to hare guided the pen of Junius," should have msda
such a "feeble impression on the public" Our surprise,
however, will be somewhat diminished when we oliaarva
the oharaoter which he give* of this produotion :

"In addition to the otber canaee of repulsion to whkh we bate
ailnded, the atyla of tha work, we ought to obaerve, to extmaall
aflScted and peeuUar. Soraetlmee the antbor mhniea Uw pregnaat

Hammond, Henry, CD., 1606-1660, a natire of
Cbertsey, Surrey, after preparatory studies at Eton, was
sent to Magdalen Coll., Oxford, and was elected FcUow in
1626; Rector of Ponshnrst, Kent, 1633; Archdeaeon of
Chichester, 1643 ; Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, 1646,
and Snb-deaa, 1648. Being warmly attached to the royal
eanse, be was ejected by the Parliamentary Visitors. At
the Restoration Charles II. intended to nominate him to
the bishopric of Worcester, but he died whilst preparing
for his Journey to London. Charles I. declared that Ham-
mond was the most natural orator he ever heasd. His
works — among whieh are a number in defsnee of the
Churoh of England against Romanists and other Dis-
senters— ^were collected and pnb. by bis amanuensis, Wm.

Clere trans, it into Latin, with animadreraio^s. Also pub.
Franokf., 1714, 2 rols. fbl. These were trans. Into Eng-
lish, and pub. as a Supp. in 1699, 4to. A Defence of Ham-
mond agadnst Le Clero appeared in 1689, to which La
Clare replied. Both of these books should Iw added to the
Annotations. Dr. Doddridge preferred Le Clere's edit, of
Hammond in Latin to the originaL We give some opinions
of the Annotations :

" Hammond was a man of Toy oonsMsiable learning and pie^,
alloyed with a portion of supantltlon. He often succeeds m
Ulusbatlng the Ibree and meaning of the Greek words and nhrssea
of the Mew Testament His stock of clasidcal and labbinkal Iih
fcraiation was very respeetaUa, and ftamlshed him with some
▼alnable fllnstmtlona Be was a moderate Arminlan in doetrinal
sentiment; a great stickler fbr the divine origin cf epbcopaoyi
uid held aotaa,paenllar notlona about theOnoatks, to whom he
suppcees there are many more allusloas In the New Testament
than any one die la likely to find."— Omie'i BM. Bib.

One of the most excellent of Biblical eritios oomplains
that Hammond

"finds the Onoetlea everywhere, which is his prlndpal tiutt:
many of Le Clere's anfanadTeralans upon these places are very
good; and his edition of bis book in Isttln I think much preferaue
to the original," — Da. DODsainos.

Orme remarks that Le Clere's Supplement, 1699, 4to,

"Is necesaarr to complete Hammond, and contains many thblgs
worth reading."

Mr. Bickersteth gives us his opinion of both :

" Talnable Ibr criticism, bnt deficient in evangelical views. Le
Clsrc wrote many additions with Soclnlan tendeodee."— CAruMon
Student

" Le Clero has observed, that Hammond in' his Annotations oo
the New Testament borrowed largely fttim Grotlns and Kplse»
plus, and TUlotson has been called a disciple of the lattar."—

BISHOP WlTSOH.

A late eminent modem authority remarks that Ham-
mond's work is

" In great and growing repntatlou. There are many good eritt-
dsms, bnt many tlut are much mistaken."— iiiinK'j Bak BU.

Oirdleston says that he

"Otves us the result of laborious study."

" Hammond excels In learned criticism to be read ' cnm grano
sails.' "—Da. B. Wiuuns.

" I would recommend Lowth end Patrick on the Old Testament,
and Hammond on the Mew."- Da. Buiiin. Jorniaoir.

" He [Dr. Johnson] was extmnely ibnd of Dr. Hammond's works,
and sometimes gave ibam as a preaent to young men going Into
ordera He also bought them fi>r the library at gtreatham.**—
BormlPl JbAnjon, IIS. natt iy J. O. C.

" The Paraphrase and AnnotationB of Hammond on the New
Testament give a dlSerent colonr to tiw Epistles of 81 Paul from
that which they dlq>lay In the hands of Beaa and the other theo-
logians of the oxteentb eaotniy."— AiUam's LiL BUI. of Amp*.

4. Paraphrase and Annotations upon the BoiA of Psalma,

1659, '83, foL This work ia in toL It. (1684) of his eol-
lected works. Nsw ed. by Branoker, 1860, 3 vols. 8vo.

" The notes are most learned, and emteass many things whldi
are omitted by others, on which account Hammond is to be
reckoned among the best interpreters of the Psalms."- Walch.

" I think his plan of Interpretation is the right one : he endea-
ronrs first to give the llteial senses and thence deduces the mye.
Ucal."— BuHor Lowra.

"The substance of the remariu on the New Testanwat is ap-
plicable to the Annotations on the Psalma There is a great deal
of very dry criticism, which does not Interest the reader much in
the snljeci of theee sacred eomposltlona Hence thli work Is less
known and respected than the firmer."— Onae'i BM. BO.

"Dr. Hammond'a notes are exceedingly valuable, and contain
many learned obeervatlons that had esened preceding commenr
toton on the Book of Psalms."— Ifome't BM. Bib.

" Of use cblelly »» Hs crHlcal Mnts."— WOUam^i C. P.

sought relief in his Lore Elegies, pub. after his death
with a recommendatory preface by Lord Chesterfield. But
Dr. Beattie insists on it that Hammond waj not in love

Dr. Bouthey partook of the indignation which was ex-
alted by the appointment of Dr. Hampden to the Regius
Professorship, and thus expresses himself in a letter to
Herbert Hill:

"Jaaes ll.'s oondrxct In obtmdlng a Somlsta president upon
Ibgdalan wu not worse tlmn tbst of the prasent mlnlstrr In s^
■oiating Dr. Hampden to the prolnionhlp of dlTlnitr. If thej
bad given him any other prehnnent, ereu a blihopn& It would
bare bean only one proof among many that It is part of ttieir
policy to promote men of loon oplniona; but to place him In the
efllce which be now holds waa an Intended loault to the UnWer.
alty. In no way eould the Wblga expect ao materially to Injure
the Ohnreh as by planting Germanised profeaaora in our adio<^
of dlrlnlty. Thank Ood, there la too much aound learning In the
bud fcr tham to succeed In tbtt-'—Kaiuick, April % 1836.

It is not a litUe eurions, oonsidered in connexion with
th« aboTS, that the bishoprie followed the profeseonhip.

On the other hand, — for it is our wont to let each side
•pealc for itself, — the Edinburgh Benewer (tupra) oan
liardly find terms strong enough to express his in^gna-
tion at the persecution to which he alleges Dr. Hampies
has been subjected :

" And £ir such persecution,'' be tells us, "the plea of oonsdenee
la not admissible; It can only be a conscience ao blinded by wUfal
neglect of the blghsat truth, or ao corrupted by the haUtual In-
dnJgenee of evU paaalona, that It mther aggraTatee than excuses
the guilt of those whom It mlalaads."— ^jn«, 1886: 388.

Harding, or Hardjmg, John, an old English
chronicler, b. 1S7S, lived at least to the age of 87. He
was employed in collecting dooumente for the purpose of
asoarteining what fealty was due from the Soottish kings
to the kings of England, and is said to have forged papers
where he did not And what he looked for : but it is pos-
sible that Harding himself was deceived. Certain it is
that he acquired a teste for such researches, and drew np
a Metrioal Chronicle of England from the earliest times
to the reign of Henry IV. It was first printed by Oraf-
ton, with a continuation to the 34th year of Henry VIXLf
by the same, in prose, in 1643, am. 4to. This edit la venr
rare ; the Roxbnrghe copy was sold for £13 13a., whioh
we believe to have been the highest price ever paid for it
In 1812 a new ed. was pnb. in r. 4to, with a biogrsphisal
and literary preface by Sir Henry Ellis. To this preAkoe^
and to the authorities snlgoined below, we refer the
reader.

**Tb1a work la almost beneath eritlolam. and fit only ftir the at.
tenUon of an antiquary. Harding may be prononnoed to be the
moat Impotent of onr metrical blatoiiaaa, especially when we
recollect the great ImproTementa which Bn^lah poetry bad now
reoelTed. I will not eren except Robert of Gloneeater, who Ured
In tba InfiuDCy of taate and TenlflcattOtt. The chronicle of this
antbentleandUborionaann^lst baa hardly thoae more modeat
graces which could ptoperly reeommand and adorn a detail of
the Brltlah atory In proae. He baa left aome pteces in proee; and
Wlnatanley aava, ' As bis prose waa vary naei\ill, ao waa nla poetry,
as much dellgntfull.' I am of opinion that both his proae and
poetry are equally nsefU and dellghtftil. What can be mote
frigid and nnanlmated than those linear

" Kyng Arttaai* than In Avaloo so disd,' Ae. ("

' Wirion'i Hid. iffKof. Fbrt, ed. 1840; U. 830.

Qeod old Thomas Fuller estimates Harding's poeti7 at
a much higher rate :

"In my Judgment, lie had drank as hearty a draught of BaUaoa
as any In his age."— m>r<MM </ Tarktltin, ed. 1840, UL 428.

Mr. Hallam remarks tha^ whilst Lydgate and Bishop
Peoook are not read with ease by the modem studsnt, the
Paston Letters, Sir John Fortesone's Discourse on Mon-
archy, and Harding's Chroniele, present scarcely any
difficulty. See Literary Hist of Barope, ed. 1854, i. 811-

wilt be found in the Haas. Hiat Soc. Coll., 4th 8., ii. 130.

"A man of a good deal of learning in New England antiquities.''
— HoH. SinrAan ISvianT : see conclusion of the next articleL

Barris, Thaddena William, H.D., grad. at Har-
. TUrd College, 181S, d. 1858, son of the preceding, waa a
reaident of Cambridge, Maas., and had been Librarian of
Harrard College from 1831 to the time of hia decease.
Dr. Harria waa a distinguished entomologist and aa an
author waa eztenaivaly known by A Report on the Insects
of Massachusetts Injniioua to Vegetation, Cambridge,
1841, 8T0.

" We hardly know where to find a snmnury so eondenasd, and,
at the same time, so complete. It removes all diflicnlty at the out-
set; and thus, while this Beport is suffldently scientlficln Itsexaou-
tlon to meet the expectationa of the learned, it answers the more
Important purpose of pladng the means of knowledge in every
nan's bands."— JV. Ama: Sn., liv. 75-101.

A second impreaaion of this Report, somewhat enlarged,
waa pub. by the author in 1842, 8to, pp. 459, under the
title of A Iraatiae on some of the Iniectr of New Eng-
land which are Injurious to Vegetation. A new ed. of
this valaable work, reriaed and enlarged by the addition
of about Sfty pages, waa pub. (under the title just quoted)
in 1852, Sto. See a noUoe in N. Amer. Ber., IxzvL 255-
256. Dr. Harris's Report was drawn up by him in an
o69cial capacity; and we eannot oonfer a greater honour
upon hia memory than by quoting tha following high
testimony to liis scientific eradition :

"The late Dr. Thaddeos William Harris was one of Oe oommis-
aloners appointed for the Zoological and Botanical SurvOT of tlas-
aaehusetts while I was Oovemor of the state, in 1837. 'The onto-
, nological department waa entrusted to him; and in this country
he had, at the time, no supertor, if he had an equal, which I donl>t."

"This fa the most valusMa aditkmof this ezedlent woik."—
Da-ParssTUT.

In 1775, Sto, appeared Hartley's Theot7 of the Hnmaa
Mind, on the Principle of the Association of Ideas; with
Essays relating to the Subjects of it, by Joseph Priestley,
LL.D. Again, 1790, Sto. Hartley's philosophical theory
"Besards the brain, the nerves, and the spinal marrow, as the
dinct Instmnsnts of sensation. Kxtemal objects, he coaeelves,
azdte vnmtkms In these medullary cords, which vibratlooB, once
communicated, are kept up by a certain elastic SuM sailed ethar.
Alter a snilleien t repetition of these vllnatloas, the amsations leava
behind them types and Images of tbemselves. Frequent repetition
excites assoelstion, and asaoclatlon In Ita tnm Imparts to any one
Idea the power of exdtlng all the related ideas, — a power which
bdongs likewise to the vlbratlnndes and their miniature Images.
Upon this principle and theory of anodatlon, he attempts to a»
eennt fer sll the phenomena of the mental constitution of man."
The hypothesis of vibrations, it is well known, has been
eempletaly overthrown by Bailer's demonstration that
there can be no such thing as vibrations in the nervous
system. Priestley endeavours to prove that Hartley was
a materialist like himself; bnt Hartley "dreaded nothing
■0 mneh" as this imputation, though certainly he is to be
read with caation, and cannot be proposed as a sound guide
in theology. As regards his obligations as a philosopher
to Newton, Loeke, Gay, and even to Aristotle, and how far
he eononrs with Hobbes, ean be ascertained by an exami-
nation of the authorities raferred to below. As an expo-
sitor of the " Law of Association" — ^we use the term Lam
not without sompl*— Hartley is oertainly entitled to some
credit and he has been tauj paid. We quote some opi-
nions respeoting his philosophinl speculations as displayed
in the Observations on Man :

"ganethlngwssdonsla this fisid of knowMge by Dsscartse,
very much by Mr. Locke, bat most cf all by I>r. Hartley, who baa '
thrown more useful light upon the theosy of the mind, than New-
ton did upon the theory or the natural world."— I>a. PaisstLSi:
llmai*t m Rdd, Btattte, and Otaald, 1T74.

"Johnson, one day, obesrvlng a Mend of his packing up two
voluises of Observallosia on Man, written by tbie good and great
man, to take Into the country, said, ' 8lr, yon do right to take Dr.
Hartley with yon; Prisslleysaklof him, that he had learned more
IHim Hartley than from any book Iw bad ever reat^ except the

" That there Is great value to be attached to mneh whlcb Hartley
has drawn fhsn the law of assodatioii, and that he has aifordsd
an explanation of many phenomena, before very Imperfectly un-
derstood, cannot be denied. The very ardour, however, with
which be threw liimsalf Into his systesc, and the vary elcaenees
with which he analysed the hcts In tbe ease, necessarily Imparted
a ooe^ldedness to his philosophy, snd led to the neglect or some

I Cousin is a high authority, — hot does he not forget philo-

exceedingly haxardous to pretend to designate " the first

Harvey, William, M.D., 1S78-1657, the discoverer
ef the cinnlation of the blood, a native of Folkestone,
Kent, was edneated at Cains College, Cambridge, and snb-
•sqnenlly studied anatomy at Padna nnder the celebrated
Babrieios ah Aqvapendente. In 1602 he returned to
Bngland ; in 1816 was appointed Prof, of Anatomy and
Snrgery to the Royal College of Physicians; and about
1618 to 1619 publicly stated the great discovery which
has oonferred npon him each celebrity, but the annoonoe-
nent of whieh was received with unsparing ridlenle and
for more than twenty years provoked unrelenting persecn-
tien. His exposition of his dieory was not pub. until
1628 : it is entitled Exercltatfo Anatomioa do Motu Cordis
•t Sanguinis Cireulatione, Francf., 4to. His Exeroita-
times de Seneratione Animalium was pub. in 1661, Lon.,
4to. This valoable work would have been much more
•onplele, had it not been for the loss of the anthor'a

Kpera, relating principally to the generation of insects.
lis loss, which oecnrrad when his house was plundered
during the Civil Wan, he feelingly deplores many years
after the event Harvey contributed to PhiL Trans. (1069)
an Anatemioal Aeeoont ooneeming Thomas Parr, who
dM M the ac* of US years and » noBlha. In 1664, on

the Tssiguation of Dr. Pmjean, Harvey was nnanimotu)^
nominated as bis successor in the Presidency of the CoU
lege of Physicians; but his advanced age and bodily in»
fimities indoced him to decline the proffered honour. An
ed. of hia works — Opera Omnia, Ac. — was pub. in 1737,
Lugd. Bat, 2 vols. 4to; but a better ed-, with a Life of the
Author, in Latin, by Dr. Lawrence, was issued by the College
of Physicians in 1766, Lon., 2 vols. 4to. A new ed. of his .
works was pnb. by the Byd. Soc, 1846-47, pp. 624. The
Latin style of Dr. Harvey has been greatly admired for its
perspicuity, fluency ,and deganee. There were many attempts
to deprive this great man of the credit of his discovery ; but
by modem writers (if we except Dr. Wm. Hunter, see his
Two Introduc. Lects. to his Anat Lects., 1784, 4to, and
Dr. J. B. Coxe) his claim has been honourably allowed.

As regards the value of Harvey's discovery as con-
trasted with the results of previous investigations, th«
true state of the ease is well summed up by an eminent
modem anthority, who has felt justified in treating this
question at considerable length :

"It OUT Indeed be thought wondarfbl that Berretns, Columbus,
orCKsmlpin abonld not hare mors dlstlDctly apprehended tbeoon-
sequenoes of what they maintained, alnre It seems difflcuU to
ooneelTe the lesser clrculAtlon without the greater; but the d»
feetlTeness of their views is not to be alleged as a counter-balance
to the more ateady sagacity of Harvey." — MaUam't LU. UitL qf
Surrtpe, q. v.

If the student who desires to pursue this subject flir-
ther inquire as to the best aouroea of information, we
refer him to the authorities cited below, and especially to
Harve}r'g own exposition, for — to quote the language of
Dr. Freind—

" As It was entirely owing to htm, so he has explalasd It with
all the cleameaa Imaginable; and, thongh much baa been wrHtan
npon that subject slnee, I may venture to say, his own book Is
the shortest, the plainest, and the most eonrlnelng of any, as we
asay be satlaflad. If we look Into the aiany apokgles written la
deftnoe of the drenlatlon."

To this testimony we may add that of Mr. Hume :

" Harvev Is entitled to the glory of having made, by reasoning
alone, without any mixture Macadaat a capital discovery In one
of the most Important branches of sdencs. He had alao the bap-
pineaa of establishing at once this theory on the most solid and
convincing prooft; and posterity haa added little to the argu-
menta suggested by his industry and Ingenuity." — ffUL qf JSi^

Here we had intended to close ; but we feel unwilling to
omit Harvey's own account of the diiBcuIUes which en-
compassed his path when engaged in those laborious
investigations whieh were orowned at last with such
ample recompense. On a subject of such importance to
the general interests of humanity, the doctors, we tms^
will not be unwilling to forgive a litUe enthusiasm, even
in a laic :

" Devoting myself to discern the use and utility of the mov»
menta of the heart In antmala. In a great number of vtviaeetlana,
I found at firat the sabfect so Aill of difllcnltles that I thought
for a Ions time, with Fracaator, that the seerat was known to God
alone. 1 could distinguish neither In what manner the systole
and diastole took place, nor at what moment the dilatation and
constriction oceuried, owing to the celerity of the movemente of
the heart, which In moat animals la executed In the twinkling
of an eye^ or like the flash of lightning. I floated undecided
without knowing on what opinion to rest Finally, from re-
doubled eere and attention, by multiplying and varying my
experiments, and by comparing the various results, I boUeredl
bad put my flnger on the tmth, and commenced nnmvelllng the
labyrinth. I twlleved I bad aeUed the correct Idea of the mere,
ment of the heart and arteries, sa well as their trne nse. From
I that time I did not cease to communloate my views either to my
• Mends, or to the pobllc In my academical course."

of the contenta of the Works of the Author of the Whole
Duty of Man, see Darling's Cyc. BIbL, 3194. The ques-
tion, perhaps, — like the authorship of the Icox Basilikb
and of the Lkttbbs or Jdbiub, — may still be considered
an open one :

" The author still ranuln s undiscovered. Millions of his books
have been dispersed in the Christian world."— CI<r{oti«i< qf
IdUratun.

Undonbtedly the merits — both tbeologieal and literarr
— of Tbe Whole Duty of Man are very great, although
as a divinify-tieatisa Mr. Biekantoth tUnks it not nnex-
oapUonable ;

" The Whole Duty of Man was a pmetieal book to eountenet
the Antlnomlans, and contains aa Impraoslve intrednetlon on the
earaofthesonl; the devotional part Is (Ml and osefbl, snd It haa
a good statement of relative dntlas, bnt It doae not exhibit pro-
minently the only principles and strength on which man can
perfcim them."

■' Hapmr is the man that can l>m Us style upon that of Arah-
blshop Tlllotson, and In plain, practical preaehing upon tbe

the rising star was hidled by a brother poet (we use the
term advisedly) will be perused at this day — twenty years
later — with no little interest :

masterly elaboration with which the grandest ellOeta are produced
In pictorial compoailion and coloring. It is a distinction of aueh
works that, while they are acceptable to tbe many, they also sui^
prise and delitfht tlw Ibw wbo appreciate the nicest arrangement
and the moat high and careful llniah. The Scarlet Letter will
challenge consideration, In the name of Art, in tbe beet audieooe
which in any age receives Cervantes, Le Sago, or ScotL" — Da.
Bores W. Oaiswow: ManatUmal Jfao., Jfciy, 18S1.

" No one who baa taken up the Scarlet Letter wOl willingly Uy
It down till he haa finished it; and he will do well not to pauaa^
ten be cannot resume tbe story where be left it. lie should give
himself up to the magic power of the style, without stopping to
open wide the eyes or his good eeoae and Judgniant and snake
oir the spell ; or half the weird beauty will disappear like a ' die-
solving view.' To-be-aure, when he doeea the book, he will fSgel
very much like tha gUdy and bewildered patient wbo Is Just
awaking from bis flrat experiment of the effects of sulphuric ether.
The aoul has been floating or flying between earth and heaven,
with dim ideaa of pain and pleaaure strangely mingled, and all
thinga earthly swimming dlaiily and dreamily, yet most beautV

•*Tha Scarlet Letter glowa with tha fire of s snppreaaed, secret
feverish excitement : It to not the glow of natural llfi), but the
hectic of diaeaae, wbieh buma upon tbe cheeks of Ita actors. . . .
Tbe whole aky and air are tropical; and, instead of the gentto
monotony of ordinary existence, its long, wearing, languid soi^
raws, ita vulgar meannesa and sleep, we nave a perpetual strain
of excitement, — a fire that neither wanee nor leasens^ lint keeps at
Its original scorching heat for yeara." — Modtm A'tntiuU, Great and
amaU, in BUukyoooit Mag^ Slay, 1866.

" We are by no means satisfied that passions and tragedies like
theae are the legitimate snl^ta for fictions : we are sausfled that
novels such as Adam Blair, and plays such as The Stranger,
may be juatly charged with attracting more peraona than tney
warn by their excitement. Bnt If Sin and Sorrow in their moM
fearful forma are to be preaented in any work of art, they have
rarely been treated with a loftier aevarity, purity, and sympathy,
than In Mr. Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter. The touch of the lOr
tastle befitting a period of sodety In which Ignorant and exdtabto
human creatures conceived each other and tnemaelvea to be under
the direct ■ rule and governance' of tbe Wicked One to moat skit
fully admlniatered. The supernatural here never becomea groesly
palpable: tbe thrill la all tbe deensr for ita action being indsfinlta
and Ita aouiee vague and dtotant''— £en, Mkauatm, Jmm 16, 1860,
p. 834.
IfoticM of tbe HocsB or thb Sgrsii Oailbs:
**The scenery, tone, aad peraonagea of tbe story are imbued
with a local anthantlcity which to not for an liutant imealred by
the Imaginative charm of romance. We aaem to breathe, as we

"The suooeealTe soenea of this bold and startling fiction ate
portrayed with a rivldneas and power unsurpasaed, and rarely
equalled. The terrible Nemeato that waits on the extortioa of the
ancestor, and parsnas the wages of hto Iniquity till the injured
ftmlly recelree Its own sgsln, reminds one of the inexorable Ada
of the Greek tngeihr; and, in deacribing the auoceatlve footkUs
of the angel of retribution in that Ill-starred mansion, tbe author
riaea Into a flmrfbl aublbulty worthy of the theme. In other per-

dagnerreotyptot talks more than anybody but Phoebe could care

In tfaii attielc will b« fotiod an extended notice of Mr.
Eawthorne'a abanMsteristics aa a writer of fleUon, and par-
tienlar noticea of hit prineipal worlu. The characteriatiea
refemd to are thui happily delineated by four of Mr, Haw-
thome'a countrymen, each of whom haa earned a right to
ft reepeetfol hearing in the diBcnsaian of a qaeetion of lite-
iBiy oritieiam :

*■ It may lafclT tie aaaertad that by Tirtna of hii hidUldnallty

In a single wOrd; we shoold call it metaphyaical, or pertaapa aoulfnl.
Ha always takea ua below the sur&ca and bayond tba material ;
his most Inartificial storlea are eminently aogyeattTa ; hemakoana
breathe the air of contemplation, and tnm onr ayea Inward. . . .
Hla utterance, too, la singularly dear and slmpla; his style only
liaes aboTe the oolloqularin the sustained order of Its flow ; the
terms are apt, naturml, and flUy chosen. Indeed, a careless reader
ta liable contlnnally to loae sight of bla meaning and boauty, fVom
the entire abaence of pcetenalon In his atyla."— HlHBT T. Tocuap
■Air: MaUamrtntOt : IfaUutnid OmiMonu, LoD., 1863.

u The characteristics of Hawthorne which first arreat the atten-
tion are imagination and reflection ; and theae are exhibited la
lemarkable power and activity in talea and essays of which the
ityle Is dlstlngnlsbed Ibr great almpllelty, purity, and tranquillity,
.... Hla style la studded with tbe most poetical Imagery, and
marked In every part with tha baralest graces of expression, while
it la calm, ehaate, and flowing, and transparent as water."— Rcrus
W. Oauwout: iVoee ITrOert <^ Aruriea, 4th ed., Phlla., 1SS2.

" And here, thoogh we cannot do him justice, let na remember
the name of Nathaniel Hawthoma, deaerrtng a place second to
none In that band of bomorlats whose beantlfnl depth of eheartU
ftellng Is the Terr poetir of mirth. In ease, grace, delicate sharp-
neaa of satire, — In a fclldty of touch which often surpasses the
felicity of Addlaon, In a subtlety of Insight which often reaches
fbrther Uian the subtlety of Steele, — the humor of Hawthorne
pxesenta tralta so fine aa to be almoat too excellent fcr popularity,
aa, to erety one who has attempted their erltldsm, tney^ni too
refined for atatement. The brilliant atoms flit, borer, and glanoe
before oor mlnda, bat the remote aounea of thalr ethereal light lie
beyond our analysis,

It may be difficult for some of ns to beliava that Haylay
was, " in his time," to quota Sonthey's words, " by popular
election, king of the English poets;" but, as Hr. Uoir truly
obserres,

** The popnlarlfy of Hayley in an age so artificial and so prag-
matical aa that wherein be flourlahed — an age of mlnneta, and
hoows and pooatmn, and powdered qneuea, and purple velvet
denolets, and fleeh-coloared ailk stockings — is not much to be
wondered at, when we eoasider the subjects on which be wrote,
and the real nacea of his style. Such poetry was lellshed, because
K was called lirth by the exigencies and adapted to the taste of the
pertleular tlmeat which It was written. It waa a reflection of esiat-
ng uodea and haUta of thooght ; and It muat be allowed that his
masloT over veidfleatkn was of no common order. True It Is
that his mawkish or overstnlned sentiment might at times ez-
poee him to rkUenle; tmt the praise he reeelred mm Oowper Is a
strong proof of the Influence which hla writlnga at that time exei^
deed over society. That power and that popularity have now
■tisriy peased away, Ibr be waa defldent In truth and natara; his
boase waa built on the sand; and, except the case at Churdifll,
It would be dltBcult to point out another whose reputation had
aasumed so much the aspect of a fixed atar, and yet only proved
'the comet of a suson.'"— iSJMcAcs ^f tht PmL IAL qftic Pout
BiAf-Cmtmry.

Donbtlass mneh of his repntation waa owing to his ge-
neral popularity in polite society, — a popularity not nnde-
aarred ; for, as Southey emphatically declares,

"JSvery tUng about that man is good except Ida poetiy."—
iMtr to SkUKUd Ayior CbUrtdgt, AuguU 4, 1M3: AmCAay'i Ufi
and Oorrup,

" He lived In days," says Allan Cunningham, '■ when pollah held
the place of vigour, and harmony that (^ Sseling, and poetry waa
Judged of aa a song la now, — by the aweetnees of its mnne. In all
the extemala of veiae he was a maater; aa he moved In good ao-
ciety, Ua opinioaa apread and prevailed; and, though he penned

Hayne, Fanl H.| b. at Charleston, B.C., 1831, is a
son of LieuL Hayne, of the U.S. Navy, and a nephew of
CoL Robert T. Hayne, the eloquent senatorial antagonist
of Daniel Webster. Hr. Hayne has contributed a nnmber

other periodicals, has been editor of the Charleston Literary
Gazette, and is now connected with the editorial depart-
ment of the Charleston Evening News. In 18S6 ha polt.

of the Hoose, Attomey-Geneial of the State, United
States Senator, and Oovemor of the State. His speeek
in the U.S. Senate, Jan. 25, 1830, which elicited Daniel
Webster's celebrated rejoinder, has rarely been eqaalle^
in all that constitutes tme eloqnenoe, in the American Com-
grass. See the Life, Character, and Speeches of the lata

Mr. H. C. Baird, of PhiU., has added to these S vols, a

As an essayist, a oitio, and a sketoher of literary por-

well deacrlbed by a lat« eminent critic :

Bat he maltes a large deduotion tnm his praise when

**8ir Francis Head's Narrative Is a very remarkable one, being
one of the most deer, unreserved, and honest accounts ever ren-
dered by a public servant, of the arts, the principles, and the policy
of an unpopular adminlstiatlon. Few provincial governors could
have to relate so interesting, so arduous^ and so successful a strug*
gle." — Len. Qnar. Sn.

** A lively, pteamnt selfcomplaoeDt piece of egoism, . . . . dl*

Headier, Rev. Joel Tyler, b. at Walton, DeUarm
county. New Tork, Dec 3, 1811, graduated at Unioa Col-
lege in 1839, and sabaequently panned his theological
Btndies at the Anbnm Theologiwl Seminary. Atter b«ag
licensed in the ei^ of New York, he removed to Stock-
bridge, Mass., and, for about two yean and a hall^ offieiatsd
as pastor of a ekoreh in that place. Obliged from &>lan
of hia health to abandon his intention of devoting himaelf
to the ministry, he determined to leat the effeets of foreiga
travel upon his constitution, and, in pnrauanee of this reus
lution, passed the yean 1842-43 ia Italy and other por-
tions of the Continent. Upon his retain home, in 184^
he gave to the world the reeults of bis obsarvations, in twe
vols., which met with a xeoeption sufficiently favoaraUa to
make tlia tourist henceforth aa author by profession. In
May, 1850, Mr. Headley was married to Misa Anna A.
Bussel, a niece of Rev. Dr. Wm. Ellery Chaanimg; aad
in 1851 he erected a Tilla on the banks of tha Hndaon,
just aboTO the Highlands, "oonuaanding a view of anr-
passing beauty and grandeor." In 1854 he was eleeted a
member of the Legialatare of New York.

A speoimen — perhapa the earlieit extant — of Heber"*
poetical poiren, entitled The Whippiad, a Satirieal Poem,
will be found in Blaekvood'a Mag., July, 1843. Many
estracte from Heber'e MS. Joomal while traTelling in the
Northern conntriee of Europe were incorporated by Dr.
B. D. Clarke into hia travela in Qermany, Russia, Ac Nor
■hoold we omit to mendon that Heber was one of tl)e oon-
tribatora to the London Quarterly Review. Heber de-
■igned writing a work on Scythia; bat clerical duties
prevented the completion of this project.

The chanioter of this estimable man has been drawn in
inch eloquent langnage by a late eminent critic, that we
oannot do better than quote fail glowing tribute,— equally
honourable to faimaelf and to tbe subject of bis eulogy :

" Leemed, polished, and dignified, be was undoubtedly ; yet hr
moce eonspionoual J kind, bumble, tolannt, and laborious; — leal-
oua &r hla church too, and not ibtgetfal of his itatlon ; but re-
membering it more fix- the dutlea than ftir the honoun tliat were
attached to It, and inlnltelT more aaalona for the rellaloiia Im-
piovement, and for the happlneaa and apiritual and wondly good
o< fala fellow-creetnree of every iooinie, foltta and oomplexkm t— In-
dulgent to all errors and lallnalUee;— liberal, In the best and
tmaat sense of the word;— humble, and oonaclentloualy diffident
of bis own excellent Judgment and never-fldllnff charity ; — looking
OD all men aa the children of one God, on aU Christians as the
redeemed of one Bavlour, and on all Christian teachera as feUow-
labouren, bound to help and enoounge each other In tlieir arduous
and anxious task."— liOan Jxvran: Xdin. Kee., xlvUl. S14.

Heber, Richard, M.P., 1773-1833, half-brother to
the preceding, who waa by bit father's second wife, was
also educated at Braaenose College, Oxford, where he was
distinguished for his classical attainmenla. No other evi-
dence of thia aaaertion is needed than bis ediUon of Silins
Italicus, (1792, 2 vols. 12mo,) pub. when he was a youth
of nineteen, and his Clattdiani Carmine, printed (but not
pab.) in. 1793, 2 vols. ISmo. The latter was not entirely
oompleted by Heber; but the last Ave leaves of the second
Tol., with the title and address, were supplied by the late
Rev. Henry Dmry, and recently the work has been put
In the market. Mr. Heber'a original design was to issue
edits, of tnoh of the Latin poets aa were not printed in
Barbour's eoUection. The abatement of hia classical seal
— «o far at least aa regards this congenial project — is not
a little surprising. Mr. Heber also pub. an edit, of Brewa-
ter'a trans, of Persius, with the Ijitin text, and superin-
tended the pablication of the Sd edit of Ellis's specimens
of the raiglish Poets. From 1821 to 1828 be represented
the TTniversily of Oxford in Parliament.

Here perhaps we might pass on to the next article with-
out censure, so far aa the general reader is ooocemed; but
what BnuoM AHiAo would forgive us did we omit to pay
• passing tribute to Richard Heber as the most voracious
HnXDO LlBBOBUK in the annals of bibliography t The
passion of book-collecting first developed itaalf in Richard
Heber when he was but a child, and it "grew with his
growth and strengthened with hia strength." Aa library
after library was dispersed under the hammer, Heber added
their choicest treasures to his own enormous collection,
antil he oould eall himself master of many of the eoveted
tomes which bad once graced the shelves of Dr. Fanner,
Isaac Reed, J. Brand, George Staevens, the Dnke of Rox-
burghe, James Bindley, Benj. Heath, J. Perry, G. Wake-
fleld, J. Kcmble, E. Malone, R. Wilbraham, J. Dent, Dr.
Oosset, Sir M. M. Sykei, and many others.

"On hearing of a curious book, ha haa been known to put bhn-
eelf Into the nuUl-coarfa, and travel three, four, or Are hundred
miles to obtain It, fearful to entrust bis oommlaslon to a letter."

Thus did the indefatigable Heber add book to book, and
manuscript to manuscript, until, one day. Death — that re-
morseless disperser at libraries — summoned the owner of
this vast colleetioD of literary wealth; and Richard Heber
lUl "in the harness," still striving after "rare copies" and
"early editions." The inventory of hia treasures is thus
briefly told :

•■Bone jeaie ago ha built a new llbnuy at Ida honsa at Hodnat,
which la said to be fUL Hla reaidenos In PImlloo, when ha died,
la filled, like HagUabaoehl'a at norence, with hooka from the top to
the bottom:— ereiy chair, every table, every paasace ocBtalnlng
Mae of emdltton. He bad another houae In Tork-streat, leading
to Onat Jaaae stieet, Weetmlnatar, laden fh>m the ground-Boor
to the Bwret with enriona books. He had a Ubraiy In the Hlgb-
■treet, Oxford, an Immenoellbnuy at Perls, another at Antwerp,
another at Bmaaela, another at Ohent, and at other plaeeilntta
MW Conntriee and In Qannany. In ahort, thara la neHher end
nor meaaare to Us Utemiy atorso."— OMtmry mUcc <• G^nt. JIu,

The cost of this immense stock of books and mannseriptg
may be estimated at about £180,000, — more than tSOO.OOO;
and this without any estimate for the loss of interest on
the investment. After Heber's death, the books in Eng-
land were eonflded to the care of Messrs. Payne and Fobs^
and sold at auction by Botheby and Son, Mr. Evans, and
Mr. 'Wheatley, The net proceeds of the sale were about
£(6,069. If w« snppoie that the 3032 vols, brought from
Holland and subsequently sold by Wheatley in London,
the books in Paris, and elsewhere on the Continent, and
the MSS., coins, and drawings sold in London, prodneed a
net result of £10,000 additional, we have aggregate re-
ceipts of £66,000 against £180,000 expenditure, or a lost
of about half a million of dolfairs, exelnsive of interest !

Here Indeed we have the development of the Biblioma-
nia in its most fbriona type. What an amount of ignorane*
might have been enlightened, vice reformed, sorrow com-
forted, and miaery gladdened, by the jndieioua applieatioa
of thia vast sum ! The eoUeoting of books to a certain
extent is laudable, and to be aneonraged ; bat such enor-
mous private aecnmalatiens tend rather to lock np know-
ledge than to dilTase it

Dr. Dibdin estimates Heber'i collections In England to
have contained abont 105,000 volt. ; bnt, not satisSed with
a loose eetimalo, ve — some year* before we fell Into thia
habit of writing Diotionarioa — made aeareAil oompotation,
and And the result to be aa follows :
Books In ooUactlons In KngUnd, vols. aboat._„......lU,lM

Brought from Holland s|m>

Bouloid's Library, parchaaad by Heber la Fade... M,00*

To this number is to be added a large qoaatitj of
pamphlets, bound and unbound. The number of the
days consumed by the London sale was no less than Sid,
How many more books Mr. Heber possessed in variona
parts of Europe, at the time of his death, w« bar* ■•
means of knowing ; but the volumes already aanmeialed
exceed by abont fifty per cent, the content* of the largest
library in America.

Much more we might diaconrae of Richard Heber,— tha
famous Atticus of Dibdin's Bibliomania^— the beloved
friend of Scott, who has immortalised him in the Intro-
duction to Mormion, — the generous lander of aeaiea
volumes to needy acholars and black-lettar editors; bnt

Alas, that one ao lovely, ao loving, and ao formed to be be-
loved, should have bad occasion, for seventeen year»— from
the sixth year of har marriage nntil har death, in 1835, ah*
never saw her busliand's faoa^ittarty to "bewail that wor-
ship" which bad been tbe brightest dream of her young and
confiding heart ! In 1818 CapL HcAans removed to Italy,
avowedly for the benefit of his health, leaving to bia wita
the responsibility connected with the education of their
five sons, and — as we have seen — never returning to Eng-
land to demand an acoooBt of her stewardship. Mn.
Hemans took up her residence with her mother and dater.
Miss Mary Anne Browne, afterwards Mrs. Gray, and de-
voted auch time aa ahe could spare to the cnlliTation of her
poetical talents. In 1828 she met vrith a seven aSietion
in the loss of her mother, and in consequence of this event
removed to Wavaitne, near Liverpool. In the next year
she visited Scotland, where she met with a cordial greeting
from Sir Walter Soott, JeSrey, and the other literary Stan
of Edinbargb and its rietnity. In 1830 ahe piUd a Tisit
to the lakea of Westmoreland and the poet Wordsworth;
and, on leaving this attractive spot, she determined to aettla
at Dublin, where her brother, Major Brawne, resided. In
this city she remained, the object of devoted alfaetiaB in
the social eirole, aatil her death in 1836, after a paiafbl
and pratncted indisposition.

•• Had her writings been merely harmlaaa, we ahould not have
entered Into an analysia of them; but the moral charm which k
spread over them is so peculiar, so full of nature and troth and
deep feeling, that her productions claim at once tbe pralae of ex-
qnlaite pnrity and poetic excellence. She adds the dignity of her
sex to a high aense of the duties of a poet ; she writes with bnoy-
aaay, yet with eameatueaa; her poena bear the Impress of a cha-
racter worthy of admiration. In the ponult of literatr renown
she noTer forgets what is due to feminine reaerre. We peraeire a
mind endowed with powers to aspire, and are atOl Alrther pleased
to find no onsatlslled cravings, no psssionate pursuit of remote
ol^ta, but high endowmenta, graced by eontentment."— OaoBai

" Her Inapiration always pauses at the feminine point. It nerer
'OTersteps the modesty of nature' nor the dignity and decorum
of womanhood. She Is no sibyl tosaed to and fra in the tempest
of niriona excitement, bnt ever the calm mistress of the higheat
and stormleat of her emotlona The Insat eompllment we can
pay her, perhape the flneat compliment that It Is possible to pay a

"She seldom reached the subHaaa; but her thought waa often
profound, and her n lee analysia of tbe beat affectk>ns, her delleaia

Henry th<e Minstrel, or Blind Harry, a wander-
lag Sootoh poet of the ISth centnr;, is celebrated aa die
author of Tlie Actis and Deidis of the illaater and railzeand
Oampionn, Sobir William Wallnoe, Knicbt of Ellenlie.
This poem, which is in twelre booltg of ten-syllable linea,
it supposed to hare been written about 1476. Henry pro-
fttees to found it on a Latin history of Wallace, now lost,
by John Blair and Thomas Gray. The only MS. copy
known of Henry's poem is in the Advocates' Library,
Kdlnbnrgb, dated 1488. It was first pub., Edin., 1&70,
4to; 1001, 4to; 1811, 4to; 1820, 8vo; Aberdeen, 1830,
8vo; Bdln., 1648, 8vo; 1661; Glaag., 166S, 8vo; Edin.,
1673, IZmo; Qlaag.; Edin., 17«9, IZmo; Olasg., 1713,
'32, 8vo; Edin., 1768, 4to. This ed. likewise contains
Arnaldi Blair Relationes ; with Notes^ Dissertations, nins-
trallons, and a portrait of Wallace, Perth, 1799, 3 vols.
ISrao. Since this date (t. a. in 1820, Edin., 4to) Dr. John
Jamieson pnb. it with the Bruce of Barbour. A poraphrase
•f Harry's poem, in modem Scotch, by William Hamilton
of OUbertfleld, has long been popular with the Scottish
peasantry, and had no little effect in eliciting the poetic
talenta of Robert Bmee. As a historian, recent discove-
ries have somewhat elevated the reputation of Blind
Barry ; aa a poet, he has perhaps enjoyed tfae full benefit
of the advantage which mystery confers upon the fame
of the minstreL Mr. Ellis does net hesitate to say

•* That a man bam blind should excel in any actence ta anlB-
alaatly extraordinary, though by no meana without example;
hut that he ahould become an excellent poet balmoatmimcoloua;
hacanae the aoul of poetry b deacription. Perhana, therelbn. It
Bay he eaally aasumed that Henry waa not inlbrior In point of
genlua either to Barbour or Gbaueer, nor indeed to any poet of
any age or country."— r^Mcnuiu of the Kctrty SnfiWi litlt.

The absurdity of this remark is well exposed in Cham-
ben and Thomson'! Biog. Diet, of Eminent Scotsmeo,
•d. 1866, iU. 16.

As regards the ralne of the historical statements of
tiie poet, we have the fbllowing opinion of ao eminent
•nthority :

" I am persuaded that Wallace b the work of an ignomnt nan,
who waa yet in poaaeaalou of valuable and authentic materlala.
On what other anppoalUon can we acoount Ibr the ftct that, whilst
In one page wa meet with errors which ahow a deplorable perrer-
elon of hbtoty. In the next we find drrumatanooa unknown to
Other 8eottlah hlatorbna, yet conoborated by authentic docu-

oorreot Utjot, who lived at the same time with the poet,
tells us the little we know of the minstrel, and enables us
to form some eitiiaat* of the valne of his history :

marked, " May tfae Nicfaolse* ' liv* a tbonsand yean,' aad

Heanr, Matthew, 1SS2-1T14, the aeeond aon of
PblUp Haoiy, waa bom at hia father'a reaidenoc, Broad
Oak form-hooae, in Flintshire, N. Walea. He waa remark-
able (ter the early development of hia mind ; and it ia
alBrmed that at three years of age he read the Bible dia-
Haelly, and with a wonderful comprehension of ita mean-
ing. From hia early yeara he evinced a decided inclina-
tion to the ministry. Hia excellent father made it a rale
ttat hia children should spend an hour together every
Saturday afternoon in devotional exerciaea ; and we are
told that

" Ob thaaa oecaalaaa Matthew presided, sod gave Intimations
ef hia aakaeqaent delight In Oca'a service, too diatliict and too
Impieeelis to be either overlooked or foigotton. If at soch times
he tbwisU Us staters Improperly enrtalled their prayara, he
woald aantly apoatDlate; telllDg them that 'ttwss impossible,
la ao abaft a tine, to Include all the sasss and persons Uwj had
to leeoaasead to Ood.' "

Hia father being a Kon-conformiat, he waa deprived of
tbe pririlege of entrance at either of the nniversitiea, and
was placed under the charge of Mr. Thomas Doolittle, of
laljngton. For a abort time aubsequently he frequented
Oiay'a Inn, and acquired aome knowledge of tbe law. In
1684 be eommeneed preaching, and in the next year ae-
•aptad tba paatoral charge of a church at Chester. In
1712, after twice declining, he acceded to an urgent in-
Titatioa to lake charge of the church of the late Sr.
Bataa, of Hackney. Oae atrong Inducement to thia
ebaog* waa tlie neeeasity of a London residence to the
proper orersight of the pablication of his Commentary
on tbe Scriptuxaa, then in the press. In his new field, as
ia hia former location, he was indefatigable in his labours,
wUoh wer* greatly biassed. In Hay, 17U, he made a
wisit to Ua old fKends in Cheshire, and upon his retnm
hoae was taken ill at Nantwich. Anticipating a fatal
iaane^ h* said to Mr. lUidga :

■* Yon have been ossd to take noUos of the aaylags of dying
■aa. This is aOae: that a lUb spent In tha service or Ood and
saaaaiasiliiB wHh Ua is the bmsI pleasant lUs that any one can
Uva la tbls world.'

Hia death oeenrred on June 32, 1714, in tbe tttj-
•aeond year of his age

A mora tmly excellent man In all tbe relations of life
we should ba at a loss to find. That odd person, John
DnatoD, says of him,

which enabled bim to smume at ones any emotion or imsslon which
was suited to his ends. Not less indispensable, secondly, was a
amtcfaleas parfeetlon of the organs of espnasion. Including the

We have already noticed the plan of Henry's Hiatory,
the Continuation of Andrews, and the excellent Hiatory
of England upon Henry's plan, somewhat modilad, pabk
by Charles Knight, in onr life of J. Petit Andrews. Dr.
Henry dividea hia work into periods, and treata of eacli
in seven diatinct points of view, — viz. : Chap. L Civil and
Military History. IL Hiatory of Religion. IIL Hiatoiy
of the Constitution, Ooverameat, Laws, and Conrta of Jna-
tice. IV. History of Learning, of Learned Men, and of
the chief Seminaries of Learning. V. Hiatory of Arts.
VI. Hiatory of Commerce, Shipping, Money, Ae. VIL
History of Manners, Customs, Ac.

To this great work Henry devoted the anziona Uboar
of nearly thirty years; and he baa oertidnly accnmulated
a vaat store of uaeAil information. Bat to vrrile philoeo-
phically and entertainingly upon ao nuny heterogeneon*
subjects exoeeda man'a might Even when the aoope ia
fur less ambitions, the charm of style possessed by a Hame,
a Rolwrtaon, a Macoulay, a Prescott, or a Bancroft, can
alone intareat the desultory reader in historical details.
For all praetieal pnrposas, Henry's history has been sn-
perseded by tbe noble work pub. by Charles Knight, Lon.,
II vols. r. Svo, (with Index vol.,) 1849-50, which we hava
already particnlarty described in onr life of J. Petit An-
drews. But Henry's history (with Andrew's Continuation,
14 vols. Svo, 1805-06) is well worth the trilling sum of 36
to 40 shillinga demanded by the booksellers.

store of valuable materials wlileh it contains, which took the ai^

The hue oonepirmajr of Ollbert Stnut "to blut the
frnit of Henry's labonn, ndn him In hia fortane, nd
break hi* heart," referred to by the- Quarterly reriewer, in
a preoeding qnotation, baa been treated of at great length
by Dieraali in hii Calamitiae of Anthon ; and to that work
we ranet eend the reader for thia lad ttory of flandiab ma-
lignity and petty (pite. Stuart oommeneed hia attack on
Uenry by a serere critique in his EdinlMirgh Magaiine
and Reriaw, (eatabliabad by him in 177S,) on a aermon of
the latter preaobed before the Soaiety fi>r Promoting Chrif-
tian Knowledge, in 177S. Ai respeeti the History, Btnart
remarks In one of bis letters, dated Deo. IS, 177S :

" DaTid Home wants to raTlaw Hanrv ; bat that taA la so pie-
doui that I will nndaitake it myaall Hoaaa, ware ha toaak It as
a fiiTour, ahoold not have It; yaa, not even Um nun aflar God's
own bearL"

The profanity of this language is a fair index to the
eharaoter of the man and the ts>partia{ii« of the proapeet-
Ire reTiewer. In the London Monthly Review for Janu-
ary, 1774, appeared a review of Henry's History, and
respecting this article Stuart remarks :

" To the toner (the Monthly RotIsw) I mpposa David Hume
haa tranaerifaed the erttldam be Intaoded to- us. It Is preeloaa,
and woold divert you. 1 keep a proof of It In my oabinet Ibr the
amnaamant of frienda. Hits gnat pblloaophar begins to dots."—
m Monk, 1TT4.

To this letter Disraeli appends the following note :

''The critique on Henry In the Monthly Bevfow was written
by Hama ; and, beeanae the pblloaopber was candid, be la Iwrs
Mid to have doted."— OiiaM<(K> <\f AiMm.

But we agree, with Chambers and Thomson's Diet of
Bminent Swtsman, (see vol. iii. SI, ed. 18i&,) that this
wai not the review which Hume penned. 'The article
referred to by Stuart and Disraeli is now before us ; and
Hnme wonld not have been likely to have remarked that

*■ It Is not svarj oas who can riaa to the Ingenuity, the dignity,
and the elaganee, «f a Hume and a Bobertaon."

The verdict of this reviewer — whoever he may be— and
that of Stuart are indeed auficientiy nnlike : the former
admits that

■* Whatever luther defccta might be pointed out in the preeent
perfcrmanoe, It must be acknowledged tbat, upon the whole. It
priBspMsa eonsMerable merit The author, Indeed, Is not dlatln-
gniahed by elevation of genina, by philoeophkal penetration, or
if a eapaclty of rWng to the higtaeat species of historloal cooiid-

whiefa every gentleman would wlah to pUoe in hia library, that
he may be able to oonanlt It on proper oocaatons."— Xoa. Mmith.
J!M., I. in-MO.

But the implaoaUe Statrt will allow Henry no merit*
whatever :

*■ He neither fkmlshsa eotettalnnMBt nor Insimetlon. IMITaaa,

with no agreeable enotloDs ; it la awakened only to disgust and
fttlgua."— JUta. Jte*. and Uag^ L 2(lft-a70.

But in what striking contrast to this appears the candid
Judgment of one who had also, to some extent, gone over
ttie same ground, and knew the dilEoulties of the path !

<* His historical narratives are aa full as those remote tlmea aiiiiii
to demand, and, at the sane time, bla Inquiries of the antiquarian
kind omit nothing which can be an obleet ot doubt or enrloslty.
The one as well aa the other la delineated with greetpersplsnity,
and no less propriety, whiefa are the true ornaments of this kind
of writing ; all superlluonB ambelliahmenta are avoided ; and the

unites together so perfcetly the two great polats of entertainment
and Instrnctton."— Davis Btmi: see Chambets and Thomson's
DloL of Smlnent Scotsman, ed. 186t, iU. SI.

We have already hinted that Henry wonld have no-
•ceded better had he attempted less; and In thia eonaezion
the following remarks are not out of place :

"Da. JoBKSos.- 'I have heard Beniy's Olstoiy of Qrsat Britain

of the publication of The Temple, in a day of abonnding

Henry Vanghan, in his warm acknowledgmanU to tha
author, doubtless expressed the feelings of many :

^ The first llmt, with any eBectoal success, attempted a diver-
sion of this foul and orerflowing stream, wss the blessed man,
Mr. George Herbert, whoeo holy llfb and verse gained many pious
converts,— of whom I em tlie least, — and gave tlie first check to a
most flourishing and admired Wit of his lime." — Prtfaet to SSLa
'SanHntaui or, Sacnd Hxmt and Privak ^jaculatumM, 1660,

The eulogy of the celebrated Baxter is equally honoar-
able to our author. After ennmerating tha characteristiaa
of a number of popular poate of his time, he remarki :

" But I must eonftss, sfter all, that, next the Scripture Poems^
there are none so savoury to me as Mr. George Herbert's and Mr.
Georve Sandys'. I know that Cowley and otfaeis &r exceed Her-
bert in wit and accurate composure; but as Seneca tekes with ms
above all his contemporaries, because he speaketh things by
words, (Mingly and seriously, like a man that is past Jest; so
Herbert speaks to God like one that really beliaTetb a God, and
whose badness In the world is most with Qod. Heart-work and ■
Htaven-work make up bis books."— iV^loty Addnu la Baxift
ntHeal FragwteKU, 1(81.

Baxter's reference to Cowley reminds ns that Herbert
is least eateemed by modem readers where he approaches
the closest to that extravagance of conceit which made
tha author of the Davidais so great a foroarite with hii
pedantio age.

The fallowing oritioisni wonld faava bean read with nn-
faigned amaiement by tha pupils of Cowley and their
admirers:

" A writer of the seme dass, though faiflnltoly bilMor to both
Qnarles and Crashaw. His poetry is a compound of enthusiasm
without sublimity, and eoneelt withont eillier Ingenuily or iina.
ginatlon. . , . When a man is once reduced to the Impartial test
of time, — when partiality, friendship, tuition, snd party, tuire
withdrawn their inflnence,— our sarprise is frequently excittid
by past subjects of admiration that now cease to strike. He wlw
tokee up the poems of Herbert would little suspect tbat be bad
been publie orator of an university, and a ftvonrits at hb sove>
reign ; that he bad reeelved flattery and praise fVom Donne and
iVoan Bacon ; and that the blograpliers of the day had enrolled his
name among the first namea of fata country."— Hndcy's SeUtt
BtavHa ^JncUmt AwiM Aolry, L, Uv., iv., 1810.

Bacon's admiration of Herbert was evinced by his dedi-
cation to him of his translation of some of tha Psalms, —
"it being," as he says, his "manner for dedieatiens to
choose those that I hold most fit for the argument"

It is believed that Herbert reciprocated tha eiTlUty of
his friend by aiding him in the translatiott ef savaial of
his works from English into Latin.

Henry Neele partially coincides with Heodley's judg-
ment, bnt is disposed to place a more faTonrabls astinwite
upon Herbert's natural poetical powers :

" lib beauties of thought and diction are so overloaded with
fiir-fetclied conceits and quaintnesses, low and vulgar and even
Indelicato imagery, and a nertinadons appropriatloa of Scripture
language and figure, in utnatlosu wbtte they make a ssoet un-
seemly exhibition, that there b now veer little probability of lilt
ever ragainlng the popularity wbleb be has lost That there was
much, however, of the real poetical temperament In the compoel-
tlon of his mind, the fbllowinc lines, although not fhae ihna hb
diaacteristic blemlsbee, will anundaatly prove:

o'SweetDayl so cool, so eslm, so bright," Ac:

LeeU. am BngUA Fhdry.

The many editions of Harbart'a Poems now issuing
iVom tha press prove that the aritie was mistaken in sup-
posing that tha popularity of tha poet had departed, never
to ratura.

Tha judgment of the arities nest to be qnotod, on.
doabtadly, ia that of the modem admiran of Haibar('«
poetry:

" Vor oursslvss^ wn are gisatly iedlned to i
_ imeller poems to thoss on which ha lavir

thoogfat too often b fbliowed by one aeti
heantUnl figure by another its very reveree."'

•' Wa think tbat those who have a rssl rsUsk flir devolkasi
poetry will find passages in Herbert tbat may reltveb and deOgbt
them: at tha seme time, no reader of taste and rational vfaws of
nllgfam bnt must lamsnt and wonder at tba strange and alnwst

Mr. Hulam notices the lune foult in Herbert'! prineipal
proae production :

" His Coantrjr Psrsoa Is, on the whole, s plaasing little book;
bat tbe precepts en sometimes so oTeratralned, sccordlng to our
DotloDS, ss to i^re en air of sQsotetloa.'' — iiUroduc. to tin ZAL ^
JBunpt,

Addiion take* onr poet to task for bis exhibition of s
■peeiei of " filia irit," whieh "was rOTired by sereral
poets of tlie last age, and in particnlar may be met with
among Hr, Herbert's Poems."

For an explanation of tba sabjeet of Addison's oensara^
wbioh is not necessarily connected with the faults com-
plained of by the eritica previously quoted, we most refer
the reader to The Spectator, No. 68.

As regards the quaintness and conceits which so greatly
offend the taste of the present age, Mr. Willmott shows as
that they ar« not altogether indefensible, and that we are
not to condemn with hasty vehemenoe, without a oharitable
degree of patience :

"Eren the friendly taste of Mr. Keble was offended by tbe ooa-
stant flutter of his &ney, foreTer hoTerIng round and round th^
theme. But this was s peculiarity which the most gifted writurs
admired. Dryden openly STOwed that nothing sippeared more
beautiful to mm than tbe Imagery in Cowley, which some readers
eoodemned. It most, at least, he said. In praise of this ereatire
play fulness, that It la a quality of tbe Intelleet singularly sprightly
and buoyant ; It ranges orer a boundless landscape, plerees Into
STary corner, and by tbe light of (Is own fire — ^to adopt a phrase
of Temple— dlscorers a thousand little bodies or Imegea In the
world, unseen by common eves, and only manifested b7 the rays
of that poetic sun."— JMmdiic. fe Strhtrft Wirkt, 18M; sse Ma
12, ante.

It would b« well, therefore, fbr modem objeeiors to
what they deem Herbert's faults, before they let the dost
accumulate upon hi* Temple and his Country Parson, to
ponder the above suggestions, and not to forget the fol-
lowing sagacious remarks of a critic entitled to great
deference :

" Hartttg mentioned the nsme of Herbert, that model of e man,
a gentleman and a clergyman, let me add, that the qualtttneesof
some of his thoughts— not of hia dictkm, than which nothing can
be more pure, manly, and niuffected — haa blinded modem readers
to the great general merits of bis poems, which are Ibr the most
pari ezqulfilte In their kind.** — S. T. CoLxainos.

A* for ourselves, had Herbert no other claim to our
affection, it would be sufficient to insure onr gratitude
that in the dark days of tbe gentle Cowper, when he
struggled for life with the " foul Send Melancholy" and
found no rest for his distracted and horror-stricken soul, the
soothing strains of Herbert's muse subdued tbe evil spirit,
and proved an effectual comforter in the time of Ironble :

** I wes strnek, not long sAer my settlement In the Temple,
with sneb a dejection of spirits as none but they who have felt
the eame can have the leaat conception ot Day and night I wes
on the rack; lying down In horror, and rising up In despair. I
presently Icait all relish Ibr those studies to which X had befcre
been doeely attached. The dssslcs had ag, longer any charms
for me: I bed need of something more salutary than amusement,
but Asd DO one to direct me where to find It At length I met
with Eerbsrt's Poems; end, Oothk and uncouth ss they were, I
yet tmad In them a strata of piety which I could not but admire.
This was the only author I had any delight In reading. 1 noted
over him all day long; and, though 1 found not liere wnat I
might have found, — a cure for my malady,— yet It never seemed
so mneh slleviated as while I was reading Arst."

Herbert left an annotated copy of this work, with a view

As ■ portion only of the flrst voL was used by Dibdio, we
hope that the balance will some day be appropriated by a
judicious oontinuator of the Aotiquitiea. The copy re-
ferred to was in 1848 in the possession of Hr. H. Q. Bobn,

The Herrichs of New England are desoended from tha
ancient family which claims the poet; and A Qenenlogioal
Register of &t name and family of Herriek was pub. by
Jedediah Heiriek, in 1846, at Bangor, Haina.

The poetry of Herriek had been wellnigh forgotten
nntil about the oommenoement of the present century,
when, by the exertions of Dr. Nott Dr. Drake, Mr. EUia,
and a writer in the Gent Mag. for 1796, (see anic,) be
secured a popnlaiity which seems likely to remain perma-
nent among the disciples of the school of English Lyrie

Henchel, Sir Joh» Frederick WillikM, D.C.I<.,
Master of the Mint sinoe 1850, an eminent astronomer,
b. 1790, at Slough, near Windsor, England, is the only
son of the distinguished astronomer. Sir William Hersehel.
After completing his studies at St. John's College, Cam-
bridge, and attaining great distinction as a mathematician,
he naturally tamed his attention to the noble seienea
which had already made his name immortaL His suceass
in this brilliant field of investigation is too well known
to call for much comment at our hands. In 18S8 he was
made a baronet; in 1839 created a D.C.L. of Oxford; and
in 1843 elected Lord-Rector of Marischal CoIlege,Aberdeen.
In addition to many papers pub. in the Tnuisactions of
the Royal Society and of the Astronomical Society, a reoon-
Stnction (in conjunction with Peacock) of Lacroix's trea-
tise on the Differential Calculus, editing Spence's Mathe-
matical Essays, and contributing treatises on Sound, Light,
and Physical Astronomy, to the Encyclopasdia Metropoli-

the most illustrioos of astroaoaun, was a native of Baae-
ver, the son of a musician, who edneated his Sea sen* ta
tbe same profession. At the age of foartaan WQliasa waa
placed in the band of the Hanoverian Foot Oaards ; ba^
dissatisSed with this huniMa position, he delenained to
try his fortune in England, where he arrived about the
end of 1767. Whilst busily emplqjad as a teacher of
mnsio, bo yet found leisnie for the pineeeution ef bis sta-
dias in mathematics, and eipeeially in astronomy, br
which scienee he entertained an anthnsiaatio attaehsnaaL
Having sucoeeded, after many trials, in making a anmber
of excellent telescopes, be oommeneed bis obaarvatioBs ia
1776, and continued them with nnweaiied seaL At length,
in 1781, he discovered what he at first thought a eomet,
but what proved to be a new planet, — tbe Oeorginm Bidrn^
now called Uranus, fVom its being next to Saturn. For a

Hampshire, about 173S; obtained the livings of Weston-
Favel and ColUngtree about 1752. Mr. Hervey pub. many
•eeaaional serma., and several works, of which Uie fallow-
ing are the best-known : 1. Meditations and Contempla-
tions: ToL L, eoDtaining Meditations among the Tombs;
RaHeetions on a Flower Garden ; and a Descant on Crea-
tion, Lon., 1740, 8vo; vol. ii., containing Contemplations
on the Night and Starry Heavens, and a Winter Piece,
1747, Svo, Many eds, Oeneraily lionnd together, and
refeiTed to as one work, under the title of Hervey'a Hedi-
tatioBs. Lasted., 1865, 13mo. In Blank Verse, by Thos.
Kewoomb, 1757, 3 vols. 8to.

" Hervejr'B Medttatieni, with tbe Pilgrim's Pragnaa, the Dntj
«f Han, and the Bible, are commonlj seen togstbar on a abalf la
the cottages In Bngland."

The stvle of the Meditations is highly poetical, and
•bounds u Issagery not always of the most classical de-
scription; but uis ioridity, wbieh displeased the eriUes,
•Dohanted the mnltitnde. Southey remarks that the work is

"Not mora landaUe In ita panoct than vicious In Its alyb^ and,
>i]isl>iis, one of tbe meat popabr tbat ever waa written."

Another eritio remarks :

"l eaaaot help tfalnUiv that It radeeta mom bonoor on the
rsUgiona torn and good dlapoaltiana of the present afa, than an
Iba pnUls tastSk tbat Mr. Hervej's Uedltatlooa bive bad ao great
a canancy. Xba ^ona and beaevolant baart wblcb la alwaya dis-

played la thsm, and tbe lively aa«y wblcli, on sane oeeaalau%
appeara, jnatlj merited applanaa; bnt the perpetual allttsr of «•
prgeeion, the swdn Imageiy and itnlned deacripUon which abound
In them, are omasMuta of a flklae kind. I would, thereftira, a^
viae students of oralorT to Imitate Mr. Hervey'a iiiaty rather than
his style ; aod. In all compositions of a serious kind, to turn tbeir
attention, as Mr. Fops nya, ■ from sounds to things, from Itney to
the heart.' '•—Bair't ZtcU. on Bhet. and BeBa-Ltltns.

" Pneafe verse, everybody knows, is what anybody may writs
and nobody will andnre; nor, in a polite age, can It, under any
eirenmstancea, be rendered attmctira. But poetical proae, thongn
the dullest, heaviest, clumsleat kind of literature, baa, in soma
notorious instances, found more IkTonr. . . . Some works of this
daacri|>tlon, however, have been extensively read In our reflnetory
language; but tbeir day la gone by. Tbe plena seotlmenta d
Horvey's Uedltatlons reoommended tbe antsstle style in which
tbej Ware dligulied to multitudes, who persuaded themselves
tbat they were pleased because they supposed that. In such a
case, tbey ought to be, with fine words and so many of them.**-

Heywood, Joha, d. 1505, Court Jeater, and one of
the earileat dmaaatic writers, a natiTC of North Mima,
near St Alban'a^ educated at Oxford, was a great fliTOurito
with Henry YXIL, and Queen Mary, his aacoeaaor, on ae-
eonnt of " the mirth and qniokneaa of bia coneeita." On
the death of Mary, fearing that his principlea aa a Roman
Oatholie would inTite peraecntion, he retired to Mechlin,
in Brabant, where he reaided until hia death. A ooUae-
tion of his works was pub. in 1503, 4to ; also in 1556, '00,

Of Haywood's poetical Dialogue, containing the number
in effect of all the Proverba in the Engliah language,
(1547, 8to,) and his three quarto pamphlets, containing
000 epigrams, there were numerous editions before the
year 1698, in which year appeared the last od. of his
Works, 4to. None of hia dramatic worka, whioh are siz
in number, extend l>eyond the limits of an interlude.
Their titles are : 1. A Play between Johan the husband,
Tyb the wife, and Sir Johan the priest, 1593, 4to. 2. A
merry Play between the Psrdoner and the Friar, the
Curate and Neighbour Prat, 1693, 4to. 3. The Play

Heywood, Thomas, an aotor, dmmatio poet, and
prose writer, temp. Elitabeth, Jamea L, and Charles I.,
was a native of Lincolnshire, and a Fellow of Peter House,
Cambridge. H« tells us that there were no less than 220
plays in which be had " either an entire hand, or at the
least a main Snger," (Pref. to the English TraTeller;)
bnt of this large number only 23 have coma down to us,
and of these The Late Lancashire Witches was written
in conjunction with R. Broome, and Fortune by Land
and Sea in coqjanction with Wm. Rowley. For a list
of these plays and his other works, and criticisms upon a
number of them, we refer the reader to Langbaine's

he may expect to Snd a plain story told in a plain wagy :

We ahoold not omit to state that onr poet was — as th«
title of some of hii works indicate — a dabbler in political
economy and an extensive projector, and, like many
other projectors of ancient times apd onr own days, dis-
played more enterprise than judgment

The aentaness of his critical abilities may be estimated
from his verdict on Pope's poetry. He gravely assures us
that the popnlarify of the author of the Rape of the Lock

' Arose from itaedltated little personal aariduitles, and a certain
bladdery awell of manaffsment'*

And ha then gives ntteranoa to tliii sagaeioo* vatieina-
tion:

"ButrastblaaMmsfylapeacet It will very larely be dMurbed
by that time he blmaelf b in ashes."— Xettcr to JtuAanltKi, in
Sidtardtam't Cbmnondact.

But posterity nave ventured to diSer with Mr. Hill.
Pope certainly was not wont to display much of a spirit
of meekness in his literary controversies ; bnt in his mis-
nnderstanding with Hill the latter appears the least
amiable His general character, however, was exemplary,
and his manners mild and conciliating ; but it is danger^
ous to tempt the anaur-^iropre of an author, however hit
saanfer in modo may prevail in the family circle and
social reunion.

Pope's poetical oifenoe was oomprised in the following
lines from the Duneiad, and they have been truly consi-
dered quite as eomplimentaiy aa the reverse. Our author
is introduced as one of the competitors for the prise of
Dnlness :

■*Than BOI etaay'd : aearce vaniiliad oat of sight,
He buoys up instant, and ntums to light;
He bean no tolwn of the sable streams.
And mounts ftr cB, among the swans of Thames."
The satire here is indeed very slight; but, slight aa it
was. It was sufficient to disturb the eananimiljr of Master

Sheridan used to say,

say what they wUlTttut does aU the gDad."

Robert Bouthey gives an intersstiDg aocount of a ser-
mon he heard Hill deliver in 1833, two yean before ths
preacher's death :

" His manner was animated and striking, acmetlmes Imprssdvs
and dignified, always remarkable; and so powerful a votoa I have
larelv or never heard. ■ . . The purport of bis sermon was good;
notUng knatiaal, nothing anthnalastlc ; and the Calvinism which

^e have already quoted the testimonies of some emi-

of their laxnrlant foliage— of the subject of our notice.
The early indieationa of these talents — the " promise of

and then atimnlatad to an abundant harvest, the priceless
leeds of knowledtce in many a youtbftil mind. We are

Hillhonse, James, 1754-1832, anativa of Hontville,
Connecticut, giwiuated at Yale College, 1773 j treasurer
of Yale College, 1782-1832 ; member U.S. House of Be-
preaentatives, 1791-91 ; of the United States Senate, 1794-
1818. Mr. Hillhoose filled several important public poiti
in his native Stat*. He pub. a number of Bpeeohes, Ae.

Uillhoate, James K^ 1789-1841, son of the pre-
ceding, was a native of Mew Haven, Connecticut, entered
Tale College at fifteen years of age, and graduated, with
distinguished honours, in 1808. After the war of 1812
he engaged in commercial pursuits in the city of New
York; visited Europe in 1819; was married in 1824 to
Hiss Cornelia Lawrenoe, of New York ; and shortly after-
vaids nmoved to his country-seat of Sachem's Wood, near
Kew Haven, where he resiifed, with the exception of an.
nnal visits to New York, during the remainder of his life.
Upon taking his second degree at eollegs, Mr. HUlhouae
had gained great credit by his oration On the Sdacation
of a Poet; and in 1812 he produced a poem of remark-
able ezeeUeaeSk entitled The Judgment, a Vision, — a de-
scription of the awful scenes of Uie Last Day. (Pnb. M.
York, I8U, Svo.) This poem was rewarded, shortly after
its first appearance^ by uie enthnsiaatie commendation of
•ne of the most accomplished of Bnglish critics, who thus
•onelodes his review :

" In short, such la the appniacli to ezeeUenee, both In the eon-
eepttoB and exaeation of thia Httla poem, that I confoaa mjaelf

Whilst b London, he pub. Percy's Masque, a Drama
la nve Aets; the snbjaet of whleh is "the successful at-
tempt of one of the Pereies, the son of Shakspeare's Hot-
nar, to recover his aneeatral home." It was reprinted in
Maw York, "with alterations," 1820, 12mo, pp. 16«, and
reviewed in tiie North American Beriew (zL 884-393) by
• lUlow-poai, William 0. Bryant Referring the reader
to this attida, we will quote a few paragraphs :

"We are (lad to meat with so raspeetabla a pndaction in this

In 1834 Mr. Hlllhonsc composed the saored drama of
Hadad, which was given to the world in the following
year, New York, 8vo, pp. 208. This admirable piece was
reviewed in tha North American Review (uiL 13-27) by
F. W. P. Oreenwood ; by H. Ware, Jr., in the Christian
Examiner, iL 301 ;^and by an unknown critic, in the United

— in the London Athenssum, 1833, p. 9. The author of
the article declares that

"This la one of those works which tha Amarimns do not sr

In 1736, Sto, he gara to the world A Plain Aeaooat of
the Nature and Bnd of tha Lord'a Supper ; a Defenee of
the same, 1736, '48, Sro. This elicited a nnmber of
answers, a list of which will be found in Dr. Home's CaL

theae treatises can remember Mr. Biekaistath's hint tha*

But the most memorable warfare in whieh Hoadly was
engaged was that known as tha Bangorian Controraisy.
This was elicited by a aermon, preached befora the Ung
in 1717, on SL John zriiL 36 : — " My kingdom is not of this
world:"

len Ball, Oxford. In 1608 ha became domestic tutor to
Lord Carendisb, son of the Earl of DeTonshire, with
whom ha travelled in Franca and Italy. On his retom he
iMoame secretary to his ward, on his snceeeding to his
fitther's honours; but the death of the former, in 1628,
disaolred a connexion which had bean maintained for
twenty years, and Hobbes was easily persuaded again to
laaTo his country is aoompanion to the son of Sir tierTase
Clifton. In 1631 he was solicited by the oonntass-dowager
of DoTonshire to return to England and aasume the cat*
of the young earl, then thirteen yean of age, and ha eom-
^ied with this request This arrangement led to a third
Tisit to the Continent, where he resided with his new pnpU
from 1634 to 1637. Hobbes again retomed to Paris, from
political apprehensions, in 1641, and remained thara ontU
kflar the publication of his Lariathan. In 1047 he waa
ftppointed mathematical tutor to the Prlnee of Wales,
(aftarwards Charles IL,) then resident in Paris. After
the publication of his Lariathan, which appeared in 1661,
he retnmad to England, and henceforth passed his sasa>
Biets at the Earl of Daronshire's seat in Derbyshtaa, and
Us winters in town. In 1074, baring attained the great

which must be kept In chain s : in poin t of morals, nia prin-
ciples tend to "confound all distinctions batwean right

were bailed with delight by the advocates of despotisa^
and libertines of all classes were glad to find an apology
for their vices in the teachings of a philosopher wIm en-
joyed the reputation of a sage. The rapid eirenlatioa af
so dangerous a work elicited the watchful care af tka

A man of such remarkable mental ability and uncom-
mon intalleotuol force could not bnt command a reapeetftil
hearing, eren from those who the most deeply regretted tha
mischievous chaiaotor of hia specniatiana. His most illus-
trious opponent qiproaahes the listo not without undis-
guised hesitation :

"Mr. Hobbea la one of the oldaat IHenda I have In the world,
and Ibr whom I have alwaya had a gnat eateem, aa a aun who^
beaidaa bla eminent learning and knowledge, haa been alwaya
thought a man of probity and ftoe from ifainlwl ; but when I re*
fleeted upon the mlachievona nrlndplea aeattered through his
lavlatban, I Mt myself obliged to make tbaae aaimadverakina
upon it"— CTorcadoa'a Strnty, p. 8.

An eminent prelate, and a moat nnsciypnloos "man of
war fVom his youth," displays no indisposition to allow
the philosopher all that he oonld justly olaim :

" Here let na do Juatloe to that great man'a memory, at a time
when hia writings aaem to be entirely nculeeted, who, with all his
errors, we mnat allow to be one of the nrat men of bla age tor a
brtatht wita deep panstntioo, aad a caltlvatad nndaratanding."
— nsaor waasoaToa.

Mr. Hill, who was one of the fnrt to call the attsntioii
of modem readers to the writings of this philosopher,
remarks :

" Hobbes la a great name In phlloaoiiby, on aoeonnt both of the
value of what ha tougbt and the eztcaocdlnary impnlaa whieh he
aommunlcaied to the aplrit of Vrse Inquiry in Kurope."

To the same effect, Mr. Hallam obserres :

"la nothing does Hobbea deeerve more oradit thaa In having
aet an example of close obeervatlon In the philosophy of the bis.
man mind."— JW. BiH. <tf Rmft. ^^

Ur. Maeanlsy, aiao, referring to the young men of dis-
tlnguiahed talents who were sometimes the eompanions of
Bacon's retirement remarks that

" Among tbem his quick eye soon djaoemed the superior abllltlas
of Thomaa Hobbea. It la not probabla, however, fliat be fully ap-
preciated the powen of bla dlaclnle, or toeaaw the vaat lafluanee
both tar good and evil which that mioat vigotoua and acuta of hu-
man IntaUecta waa deatlned to exereiaa on the two aneeeeding
ganeratfona."— Aftn. Bm, JtUf, IflST ; oad in tht KuKft, H. 1»3.

Again, in the History of Bngland, tha same learned
eritio tails as that

"Thomaa Hobbea had. In language more predaa and luminous
than baa ever been employed by any other metaphyaical writer,
maintained that tha will of tha prince waa the atandard of right
aad wrong.** — VoL L chap. 11.

" Thomaa Hobbea, a man of much learning, aaora thinking, and
not a little knowledge of the world, waa one of the moat eelabreted
and admired anthon of bla age. Bla ityle Ii Incomparably better
than that of any other writer In the reign of Obarlea I- and waa^
for ita uncommon atrength aad purity, acaree aqaalled In the su»
seeding islcn."— Oaaaesa: Bwf. BUL. </ Bug.

The popularity of this writsr was nndonbtadly. greatly
owing to Uiis remarkaUe parity of style :

"A pannansnt foundation of hia toae remalna la bla admirable
a^ls, which leema to ba the vary peafoetion vt dkiaetie language.
Short, clear, preclae, pithy, bis language never bai more than one
meaning, which It never requtrea a aeeood thought to take. By
the halp of bla exact method it talna ao Una a held en the mind,
that It wiU not allow attantton to alaefcan."— SB JSMXS Miczn-
losu : uM nprs.

" His bnguaga ia ao ludd and eoaclaa, that It would be almoat
as Improper to put an algebraical prooMa In different terma u
Boaae of Ua metophyalcal paragnpha."- HAtLAn : aM npra.

As a poUtieal eoonomis^ also, the elaims of onr author
are not lo be forgotton ;

■* Hobbea aeenu to have bean one of the flrst who bad any thing
Ilka a dbUnot pereeytkin of tha laal aonrae of wealth."— vlfcCW
iock't la. of IVUt. Kim., q. m.

With such powers for eztonsire usefulness to his race,
how melaneboly is it to be obliged to record of this great
philosopher. In the language of Hume, (certainly not ■
suspioious witness,) that '

"Hobbes'a polltica are fitted only to promote tyranny, and his
athka to encourage lleantlouanaaa."— £!•(. ^ Jkyiand, Ancyer^

dommeneed bii approntieeship in tbe gun* Immbl* eaUIng
whan only leven jeara of age. Fow anthon who have
obtained reputation hare eommenoed on «o slender a ■took
of knowledge ; for tbe whole of the ihepherd'a scholaetie
edneation wa« eonpriMd in liz months' instruction received
before he woa eight years of age. In 1790 he entered the
lerrioe of Ur. Cudlaw as a shepherd, and remained in
this post for the ensuing ten yenn, the leisure hours of
which were profitably occupied with the perusal of books
from his master's library. In 17M he eommeneed the
eompositlon of songs and ballads, and in the next year an
ardent desire to be the saeeessor of Bums — of whom he
then first heard — gave an impetus to his poetical genius,
whioh, to the astonishment of the world, resulted some
years later in the production of The Queen's Wake. Some
-•r his jnrenile pieces happened at this time to fUl into
the hands of Sir Walter Scott, by whom they were highly
commended. The first of bis published productions, The
Patriot Lay of Donald McDonald, oomposad in 1800, and
printed in ISOl, soon became a general farourite, and was
sung amidst aeclamations, published and set to music,
whilst eren the name of the author was unknown. In
1801 he wrote a prose essay called Reflections on a View of
the Nocturnal Hearens, and in the same year, whilst on a
Tiait to Edinburgh to dispose of some of his sheep, he pub.
a odlleetien of his beet poems. In 1802 he contributed
to Sir Walter Scott's Border Minstrelsy; and five years
later gave to the world The Shepherd's Guide, (an Xssay
on Sheep,) and a roL of songs, ballads, and tales, entitled
. The Mountain Bard. By these two works he made about
£300, which was soon swallowed up in tit* caltiTatiaB of
an unprofitable farm ; and the publication of tbe Forest
Minstrel, a collaotion of the poet's early songs, in IBIO,
failed to meet with that encouragement whioh the declin-
iag fortunes of the author greaUy needed. In the same
year he commenced the issue of a periodical, intended as
a censor of literature and manners, entitled The Spy. For
this self-imposed task the conductor was altogether nn-
suited, and the new paper lingered but a twelremonth
and then expired. One good result, howerer, is to be
attributed to the publication of The Spy. Some of bis
Abends were so much pleased with some of the poetry oon-
tribnted by the editor to his sheet, that they urged him to
attempt the composition of a regular poem. Hogg was
always ready to be encouraged ; and his friends were gra-
tified, with the rest of the world, in the spring of 1813, by
the publication of The Qneen's Wake, a Legendary Poem,
by far bis best production, and one which would not hare
disgraced the best of tbe great poets who were at that
tima delighting the literary circles of the day. Of tbe
wrmteeD ballads in this work, the general faTonrite is the
legend of Kilmeny: — certainly an exquisite production.
Tbe reputation of the author was now established: the
poet becsme a oelebrity ; and happy was that lady of
quality who could secure for her fashionable parties the
rustic form, and still more rustic songs and witticisms, of
the far-famed Bttrick Shepherd. Tbe Queen's Wake soon
teaebed its &th adit, and the Shepherd needed nothing
mora to make him an author for life, as the following list
of works, which appeared in rapid succession, will abun-
dantly testify. PoETBT : 1. Pilgrims of the Sun, 1815, 1

1817 Hogg found himself settled on bis form of Altriva^
consisting of seventy acres on the banks of the Yarrow,
for whioh he was indebted to the kindness of tbe Doka
and Duchess of Bncclenoh. In 1820, in bis 48th year, ha
was married to Miss Margaret Phillips, who seems to have
made him a very good wife : she and three of their ehit-
dren, daughters, are now living, and Mrs. Hogg was re
eentiy pensioned by govemmenL Shortly after his mar-
riage be took up his residence at Mount Benger; but, being
again unfortunate in his agrieoltural experiments, he was
obliged to return to Altrive. The lost years of bis life
were tranquilly passed in the prosecution of his literary
pursuits, varied by the sports of the field, to whioh he was
passionately attached. In the autumn of 1835 bis health
was prostrated by an attack of tbe jaundice, which re-
sulted in a disease of the liver, and terminated fatally on
the 21st of November, 1835, in the 85th year of his age.

again in 1851 ; coUeotire ed. of his Poetical Works, 1850,
5 vols. 12mo ; 1852, 5 vols. IZmo. We have already stated
that the Queen's Wake is considered to be by far tiie best
of bis productions : a few brief notices of this poem may
therefore be here appropriately introduced :

" Tbe Queen's Wake Is a garland of Mr forest-flowem, bound
with a bend of nufaes from the moor. It Is not a poem, — not It;
DOT was It intended to be so; jou migbt as well call ■ brlgbt
bouquet of flowers a flower, which, br-tbe-by, we do In Scotland.
Someoftbe ballads areverrbeantital; ooeor twoeren iideodld;
most of them spirited ; and the worst <kr better than the best that
was ever wrlitan by any boid In danger of being s blockhead.
Knmeny alone places our (ay, our) Shepherd among the UndjlDg
Ones." — Paorassoa Wnsoa: Chri^pplur Narlh't RKnaHom: Mt
Hour't TiUk about Hxby.

"Tbe poem Is unequal, and It flould not well be otherwise; It
eonsfets of the songs off many minstrels In honour of Queen Mary,
united together by a sort of recitative, very rambling, amualDg,
and cbar^eristle. Some of the strains of tbe contending Bards
are of tbe highest order, both of conception and execution; tbe
Abbot of Bye has greet ease, vigour, and harmony, and the stoiy
of the Fair Kilmeny, Ibr true shnpUelty, exenlslte lovellneaah and
graoeftil and original fliney, cannot be matched In the whole 00m-
pasa of British song." — Aluk CuHsiiraiUJi : £uy. and QrU. Bid.
1^ tlu Lit. qf the Last JFY/ty r<an.

" nie speeloiens we hare already given [of Kilmeny] wID enable
the reeder to judge of tbe style and manner of this angular com-
position ; upon the strength of wbleta alone we should ftel our*
selves completely Justified In assuring the author that no doubt
can be entertained that be Is a poet, In tbe bighaet aeoeptatlos
of tbe name."— Ixn» JirrsiT : £ifin. Jin., JVoe. 1814.

" Tbe Legend of Kilmeny la as boautlftu as any tbing In that
department of poetry. It contains a flue monU : — that purity of
heart saakea an earthly creature a wdoone denisen of heaven:
and the tone and Imagery are all ftmught with a tendeiwese and
grace that are OS unearthly as the suldset of tbe Jaasad.''—JEEiisiirs
Hama and Bataitt qflSt Brit. TMs.

"Kilmeny baa bwn tbe theme of nnlvereal admiration, and
deservedly so, (br It Is what Warton would have denominated
■ pure poehy.' It la, Ibr tbe moat part, the glorious emenatioa of
a sublime tatj, — the spontansous sprouting tvtb of aasanntUna
flowers of senoioent, — the bubbling out and welling over of la-
■ntraUoa's fcuntaia?'— O. H. Uoia: Aet Lit ^ Ott Jiut Silf.
OaUKry.

An acute critic, already quoted, after noticing Hogg's
defects as a prose-writer, evinces a disposition to do tall
Justice to his real merits :

to be due to Reginald Wolfti, the king's printer, who de-
signed originally nothing less tban a "uniTersal Coa-
mograpby of the whole world." In 1807-08, 6 Tola. 4to,
appeared a new ed. of the Chronicles, in which tha Cas-
trations are restored. A copious Index — that ran lazary
— adds to the value of this noble set of quartos. Copiei
an worth about £6 to £7, according to oonditton and
binding. Copies of the 1st and 2d eds. have been sold
for high prices. Of the 1st ed., Nassau's copy sold for
£15 15s.; Steerens's for £22. Of the 2d ed., SlaeTena'i

which we are acquainted, with the exception of the r»-
markable copy (a large-paper, if there were any on large
paper) in 4 vols., purohasad by Richard Hebar from CoL
Stanley's collection for £68. The rtprint of 1807-08 has
diminished the value of the earlier edits. Hooker's trans.

"To write good eomlc verse Is a different thing ftom writing
good comic poetry. A. jest or a sharp Baying may be easily made
to rhyme; out to blend ludicrous ideas with &ncy and tmagloa-
tlon, and display In their conception and eaprassloo the same
poetic qualities usually exercised In serious composition, is a rare
distinction. Among American poets, we know of no ope. who
excels Holmea In this difllcult branch of tlie art Uaoy of iils
l^easant lyrlca seem not so much the offspring of wit as of Ihney
and senttnient turned In a humorous dlrsetlon. His manner of
satirising the Iblblss, IblUaa, vanities, and afllBctatiena of coaven-

a poet of sentiment snd pasdon. . . . Those who know bim only

" His longest prcductlona are oceaslanal poema which have been
tedted before literary aocletlaa and recslred Willi very great flavour.
Hla style Is brilliant ivarkllng, and terse ; and many of his heroic
stanias remind us of the point and condensation of Pope. In his
shorter poems, he Is sometimes grave and sometimes gay. TV hen
in the former mood, he charms ns by his truth and manliness of
feeling, and his sweetness of sentiment; when In the latter, he
delights ns with the glance and play of the wildest wit and tha
richest humour. Everr thing that he writea is carefully finished,
and rests on a basis of sound sense and ahrawd obearvatlon."—

But the succesaful antbor was soon nmindsd that ha
was axercisinE his genius in a forbidden field; and ha
found it expedient to anticipate his expected dagradatka

This article la a review of the Work* of John Homa, Beq.,
sow Bnt eoUaetad, to which is prefixed an: aeeoost of hia
Life aod Writing*, by Henry MBclieiiai*, Bdin., 18S3, S

Home alio pub. the Hiatory of the Rebellion in 1745,
ito, 1802, whidi we ahall notioe hereafter. The merits of
DottgUa, notwithstanding the aasertion of Dr. Johnson
" that there were not ten good lines in the whole play,"
kaTe been repeatedly acknowledeed by tiie moat oompe-
tent oritiea. That this laudation has been somatimea ear-
ned to a ridieulouB exessa can hardly be questioned ; aa,
for inatanee, in the eulogy of Darid Hume, the historian,
who, in hia Four Dissertattona addnssed to Home, eon>-
pliment* Him as the possessor of

"The true theatric genloa of Hiakspeare and Otvaj; nAned
ftom the unhappy barbarism of the oae and Ucentlonsness of the
ether."

Baca donbUeas the Seotsman speaks as well as the eritio,
•nd patriotie enthusiasm moat not anrpriae ns when warmed
with a theme ao congenial and ao flattering :

*'The genius of Home was national; and so, too, was the snhfeet
of hla joatly-femona Tragedy of Douglaa. He h>d studied the old
Ballads; their slnpUdtlea ware sweet to him aa wallflowers on
ruins. On the story of Gill Uorlco, who was an Sari's son, ha
ftjunded the Tragedy which surely do Scottish eyes ever witnessed
without tears."— JoBH Wiuoic : Bterudiau ^f ChrUlop/ur JCfortii :

M I think nobody can bestow too mneh prmise on Douglas. There
has bean no Bnglleh tragedy worthy of the name since It ap-
peared."—iUd-.-Aiiefci Awdmitlmm, April, 1M2.

Whilst this perfaaps appears somewhat eztraragant, yet
•Da of the best parts of this play is commended by two
•mioent modem eritiea in terms qnite as enlogistio :

"We agree with Mr.Hackentie, that the chief scene between
Isidy Baniloiph and Old Norral, in which the preMrratlon and
ezlateace of Douglas la dlaoorarad, has no eqnal in modem, and
scaicely a superior In the ancient, drama. It is certainly one of
the most effeetWe which the English stage haa to boast; and we
Isam with pleasures but without sm-prise, that, though many other
■arte of tlw play were altered before Its repreeentatloB, we have
uis aaastet^piaee exactly as It was thrown off in tils oiigliMl sketch.
' Thus It Is,' says the accompllahsd editors ■ that the krrid oeaUen
of genius and fancy strikes out what is so excellent as well as
Tfnd as not to sdmit of amendment, and which, indeed, corree-
ikm would spoil Instead of ImproTlng.' This Is the true Inspire
tkni of the post, which gives to critielam, instead of borrowing
fkaa It, Its model and rule, and which. It is possible, in some diM-
dent authors, the terrors of eiltlca may have weakened or exttn-
guisbed.

" The memory of Mr. Home, aa an author, depends, fn England,
■Inoet entlrsly upon tlM tragedy (^ Donglas, Which not only re-
tains the most tadlsputable posseeslon «f the slagst but produces
a stronger effect on the ibellngs of the aiadience, whsn the parts of
Douglas and Lady Randolph are well filled, than almost any tra-

■edy sines the days of Otway The language of the piece Is

DsantifuL ' MraSlddons told me,' says the editor, [Mr. Mackensle,]
' that she nerer fcund any study' (which. In the technical langiugc
of the stags, means the gettlrig Tarasa by heart) 'so easy ss that
of Douglas, which is oneof the bast critsrioru of azeellaiMe in the
dramatic style.'"— Sm WiLTia Bcon: X</'s toKi mrtct ^ Mut
Mome,vbitupra.

Home's History of the Rebellion in IMS— to which «•
promised to return — gave great dissatis&eUon, not only
as lagsfded its literary character, imt in ita deficieney in
kiatorical aeenncy :

"Slnea Mr. Home did assume the pen on the vnljeet ef the
Varly-ln^ no conaldention whatever ought to have made him
4epart mm the truth, or slirink ftom expoeing the cruelties
practised, as Ur. Maekenxle delicately exproesse It, by some snb-
os-diuata offlosra, or from execraUog the ImpolRle and ungenerous
nee of the victory of Culloden in which tns Duke of Cumberland
■was tomaohai Implicated- Mr. Home ought either never to have
written his history, or to liave written It without clogging hlm-
mlt with the dedication to tlie sovereign. . . . The disapiwlntBd

Elbllc of Scotland, to which the history ahooid have boMl most
tanstlng, was clamorous in its disapprobation. They eomplatned
vt suppreraed information and servile eonractions. , . . The histdvy
la, narartheleas, so ftr aa It goea, a fliir and candid one for the
writer, thongli, by the manner in which lie had fctterad himself
be was debarred from speaUng the whole truth, yet waa Incapable
tt speaking any thing bat this truth." — Sm Waumi Scon: wW

" Any seeonnt of that brilliant episode in onr history must
needs be full of Interest, and Home, being cencerned so hr him.
■el^ has preserved a number of picturesque enough anecdotes ;
bv^ on the whole, the book wants vigonr, and It u fbll of quis-
Blhus. What oan be mora absurd tban his giving us mora pages
about the aecapa of two or thrte Whig students of Divinity fKim
the Ghstle of Iwuns Ibsa he spends upon all Ihe wSd wandstiiigs

af the mlbrtanata OhsTaHtrr"— Jon Wtaaos : Sbeta Amttt^
liana, April, wan.

Yet Home's History noft by no means be negleoted by
the historical student :

"The work of Home was not entirely such as we nright have
expected ftom one who was not only an actor in the scene, hut
the author of a tragedy like Douglas, elegant enough to liaTe
pleaaed on the Prench stage, and yet affecting enough to succeed
on ours. The History of the Kebellion was a work which had
been meditated so long, that It vraa delivered to tiie world too
latBi—when the writer waa no longer what ha once was. But I
recommend It to your perusal, because it has all the marks of
authenticity, — pouassea, 1 think, mora merit than Is generally
supposed, — treats of a very remarkable event In onr history, — and
Is, after all, antortalttlng, and not long." — l^f. Sm$tK» Xccff . en

Hook, Theodore Edward, 1788-1841, a native of
London, was the son of James Hook, the mnsieal com-
poser, and a brother of Dr. James Rook, Dean of Wor-
cester, both of whom have already come under our notice.
Theodore was sent to Harrow to Im educated, and had
there for his schooI-fellows Sir Robert Peel and Lord
Byron, with whom, however, he does not seem at that
time to have formed any acquaintance. He had already
commenced authorship ; for before his admission to Har-
row, and whilst at school in Cambridgeshire, (being then
thirteen years of age,) he wrote a piece for the stage. Tha
early evidence of talent was accompanied by indications
of an extraordinary genius for music and great facility
in the composition of Iwllads ; and bis father, whose pro-
fession enabled him to make a proBtable use of bis son's
varied accomplishments, was early persuaded to let him
remain at home as a junior partner in his business. In
1805, Theodore made his dtbul as a dramatic author in
the Comic Opera of The Soldier's Return, and his success
was eomplete. This triumph was sncceeded by one still
more decided, if possible, in the next year, when Listen
and Matbews boUi figured, to the unbounded delight of
the public, in the boy-author's musical farce of Catch
Him who Can. Young Theodora, now the favourite of
the town and the darling of the Green Room, was in that
dangerons position which had been foreseen by his brother,
the worUiy clergyman, who a short time previously had
almost by force carried him to Oxford, had him entered as
a student, and in vain looked for his arrival when the
period had arrived for the commencement of his eollegiata
couna. For a graphic aocount of this portion of Hook's
life, and his subsequent experienoe, we must rafer tha
reader to his antobiographi<»l novel of Gilbert Gnmey ;

for the Rail, 3d ed., 1852, tp. 8vo; and to the authorities
cited below. And now we behold Theodora fkirly launched
upon the great sea of London lift in the various capacities
of author, mnsician, singer, man of fashion, and incz-
banstible inventor of practical jokes. Of the last, it may

dinner given hj the Srory iJane Company to their pro-

In turn solicited, displayed, to the delight and sarprtee of all pre*
sent, hlj wondrous talent la extemporaneous singing. The eom-
peny wss numerons, and generally strangers to Mr. Hook ; but,
without a moment's premeditation, he composed a Terse upon

the truest rhymes, unhesitatingly gathering Into hIa anfeioct, mm

than even acquaintance with them might lure ftimlahed. Mr.
Sheridan was aatonjalud at hia extraordinary fiuinity, and de-
clared that he could not have imagined such power possible, had
be not witnessed it. No description, he said, could have con-
vinced him of BO peeniiar an Instance of genius ; and he proteatad
ka ahonld not hare baUered it to be an nnatudled effort, had ha
not seen proof that no aBtidpatton conld hare been ibrmed of
what might arlae to ittmish matter and opportunities for the ex-
erdse of this rare talent." — Ltfe rtf ChaTUt MaVievtt.

liad erer witnessed."

Such brilliant powers of entertainment were quite aa
well oalciilatsd to win the anbatantial favour of " the flrat
gentleman of bis age" aa more aolid recommendationg
would have been ; and we need not therefore be surprised
Uia^ through the patronage of the Regent, the sparkling
wit and irraaiatible punster waa in 1812 appointed to the
digniled offloe of Accomptant-Gleneral and Traaanrer to
the Colony of the Mauritina, worth some £2000 per annum.
Hook seema to have pasaed hia time for Ave years very
pleaaanUy in hia new home, "drinking hia wine and
mnnohing hia fruit" during the day, and passing every
•vening at the balla, in which the gay society of the place
Indolged to their hearts' content But a melancholy page
in his history waa now dose at hand. In 1818 hia ao-
oonnta were examined, and a defalcation discovered of
(aa waa firat alleged) about £20,000, but which waa eabsa-
qnently (in 1823) reported by the Audit Board to be
£12,000. The nnhappy treaaurer waa aaddenly dragged
flrom anpper-table to priaon, and ahortly afterwards sent
borne — on account of " aomething wrong in the ekett," he
told an Inquiring friend, ignorant of the true state of
•flairs — to London, under charge of a military guard. We
Itave no time nor apace to linger over the details of thia
nnpleaisttt episode in Hook's Ufej bat we anppose it to
be now generally agreed that hia only oulpabiiity— a
serious one, to-be-aure-^in thia unfortunate affair waa bis
lack of attention to his olBcial dutiea. If, aa we are aa-
sured, "during the live yeara that be remained on Uie
Island, Hook never visited his office, for the purpose of
busineaa, five timea," we can readily believe that hia aub-
Ordinatea paid more regard to the large eath receipt! of
the ofBce ; and the auicide of one of tbem — who, it is true,
bad firat called attention to the deficiency in the (iind — ia
calculated to relieve the character of the Ex-Treaaurer
from the aerioua charge of peculation. Hook reached
borne, after a tedioua and uncomfortable pasaage of nearly
Bine months, in January, 1819, and immediately com-
menced that diligent use of his pen which enabled him to
produce more new volumea than there remained years in
the balance of bis life. Indeed, from 1821 to 1811, the
year of hia death, a period of about aeventeen years, — for
kbont two of which be was imprisoned under Oovemment
arrest, — he wrote 38 vola., beaidea editing the John Bull, a
weekly newapaper, and (for part of the time) The New
Uonthly Magaiine. Of the John Ball, oommenced Deo.
16, 1820, he waa one of the principal founders; and hia
share in the stock in the palmy days of the paper brought
bim in no leaa than £2000 per annum, in addition to a liberal
salary. Hia income for a number of yeara was probably
not leaa than £3000 per annum. But his improvidence
led bim into continual embatrasamenta, which made him
the prey of the most hataasing anxieties. Aa the con-
ductor of the John Bull, he distinguished himself by bitter
hreeUvea against Qoeen Caroline and her aupportera^ and

by an aodnuiastie advocaey of JHigh-Tmy prinoiplaa. He
waa alao a contributor, in early life, to ti^e Satirut Maga-
iine, and aubaequently to Bentley'a Hiacellany ; and, in
addition to the many worka which he actually produoed^
promiaed many more, and prepared materiala for A His-
tory of the Houae of Hanover, which waa ^ao left nn-
finiahed. Shortly after hia return from the Mauritian
he attempted to aatabliah a minor magaaine, called The
Arcadian ; but it only survived for a abort time. He wm
the author of one article in the Quarterly Review,^ — that
on Prinoe Puokier-Kuakau's English lour, in voL iXfi.,-^
and probably oontributad to other jonmala not here »^w*ili
Hook waa a mere Imlterfly of faabian, witbont high mo-
ral principle, and apparently withoat soy appnciatioa af
the duty devolving upon all to labour for the welfiare and
improvement of the race, and to enllivata the mind and
diacipliae the heart for a higher aphere than that to be
found in the fnvolitiea of the ball-room or the enohant-
Benta of the -ataige. Hook waa never married. He left
six children, who, with their mother, wan aided by a aal>-
aeription of £3000 after their fatber'a death. Of hia
remarkable literary industry for a period of almoat forty
yeara, the following Ua( of bis warks affords tiis beat

Hooke, Robert, M.D., 1685-1702, an eminent ex-
perimental philosopher, a native of Freshwater, in the
Isle of Wight, and son of the rector of that place, was
edueatad at Christ Chnroh, Ozibrd; eleoted in January,
1665, Curator of Experiments fof tiie Royal Sooiety for
life ; and in March of the same year saeceeded Dr. Daores
as Professor of Oaometiy in Sresham College. Hooke was
unquestionably one of the most ingenious philosophers
whoaa the world has erer seen, and perhaps no one man
ever made so many discoveries, — amounting, with the
contrivances for iUnsttating them, te some hmndreds.
Among those which he elaimed — for with respect to some
the priori^ of diseoTory is a matter of dispute — are :
1656. Barometer or Weather>Olass ; 1657. A seapement
for maintaiDiag ttia ribratian of a pendulum ; and subse-
quently the regolating or balanee-spring for watches;
1658. The Donble-barnlled air-pnmp and the conical
pendulum ; 1660. The engine for cutting olook and watch-
wheels ; the chief phenomena of capillary attraction ; the
freesing of watar a fixed tamperatore; 1663. The method
of supplying air to a diving-bell ; the number of vibra-
tions made byamurioal chord; 1665. In this year his
Micrographia was pub., in which will be found notices of
many of bis discoveries on respiration, the composition
of the atmosphere, and the nature of light; 1666, A

anadrant'by reflection; 1667. The marine barometer, and
te gauge for sounding nnfktbomable depths ; 1674. Steam-
engine on Newoomen's principle ; 1679. That the air waa
the sole source of heat in burning, Ac. ; 1684. The applica-
tieu of the principle of the Telegnph. See Encyo. Brit ;
Life, by Waller; Biog. Brit; Wood's Gresham Profes-
sors; Athea. Oxon.; Hallam'a Lit Hist of Europe;
Bonvier's Familiar Astronomy. In 1686, on the publica-
tion of Newton's Principia, Hooke (who had in 1671
attaeked Newton's New Theory of Light and Colours)
claimed the prior discovery of the principle of gravita-
tion, or, rather, the application of that principle. But
Newton's letters to Halley aettle the matter in favour of
the writer. Yet great credit ia nndonbtadly due to Hooke.
To borrow the language of Profeesor Playtair, when com-
menting on "the length to which GalUeo advanced ia
this direction, and the point at which he stopped,"

" Hooka did not stop sliori ia tlw asms naaooonntable manner,
but made a nearer approach to the truth than any one bad yet
done."— 2%<nl iValiat. iWncrl to Bxa^c BrU.
In the words of a learned lady of our day,
" The idea expressed by Kepler, of the ebb and flow of the
ocean being eaussd 1^ the attractive Infinence of the moon, re.
oelved in 15m and 10T4 a fHsh impulse and a more extended ap*
plication throagh the aagaelty of the iageniosia Robert Hooke, a
noted sxperlmeatal philoaopber, who distlngnlshsd himself by
numerous discoveries in science.'* — ffmnnk M. Banma'i MtmOAw

"Cbarlty'a aaka, to look fovourably upon a poor nanhew of "-
taoaUapan

whom nature had fitted for a Bcholar, but the eetata a

waa ao narrow that they were unable to give Urn the advaataia

of learning."

He therefore expressed the hope that the bishop woald

" Became Us patioa, and prevent blm ikon being a tiadaauHB,
for he waa a boy of remarkable bopea"

The good bishop sent him to Oxford and plaoed him
under charge of Dr. John Cole, President of Corpus Christf
College, who afqiointed him a tutor and Bible-clerk of the
college. He now eqjoyed the advantage of the inatractians
of Dr. John Reynolds for four years. In 1577 he waa
ehosen Fellow of his college. In 1670 he received the
appointment of deputy-professor of Hebrew. In 1681 ha
was ordained ; and, aoeording to the coUege-statutas, he
was immediately appointed to preach a sermon at St
Paol's Cross, London. He lodged at a dwelling appro-
priated to the preachers, which was called the Shunamits^s
house. Much indisposed by the ihtigae of his jonmey t*
the city, he was so grateftil for the kind attentiona of Mrs.
Charehman, who lud charge of this " honae of the pn>-
phets," that his eomplaisaoee got the better of hia Judg-
ment Walton tells the stoij so quaintly that, even at
the risk of being charged with countenancing a dander
against "provident" mothera, we muat quote it:

Here waa a model bnaband indeed.
To thia visit of hia former pupila are we indebted for
that immortal production, The Lawa of Eceleaiaatioal Po-
lity. Edwin Sandys urged hia father, then Bishop of
London, to find a more comfortable poet for hia quondam
tafor. Thia led to bia appointment, in 158&, after the
death of "Father AIvy," of Maaterof the Temple for life,
being then in bia 33d or 34th year. Hooker waa the morn-
ing lecturer, and Mr. Travera held forth in the afternoon.
The latter gentleman followed the viewa of Cartwright,
the Pnritan, and inclined to the Presbyterian side in dis-
dpUne. Thia contrariety of sentiment led to an amicable
eontroreray between the leetoren, who aeem to hare en-
tertained for each other all due reapeoL Tbna, it waa
obaerred, " the forenoon sermon apoke Canterbury, and
the afternoon Qenera." Archbiabop Wbitgift prohibited
file leotnrei of Mr. Trarera. Trarera appealed to the
qneen, bnt in rain; be then pnbliahed hia memorial,
which waa answered by Hooker. Thia anawer may be
considered the germ of hia great work, Of the Lawa of
Bocleaiaatieal Polity. Be commenced bia work in the
Temple; but, finding less diatraction requisite, be solioited
the archbishop to permit him to retire to aome mora quiet
poaL Accordingly, that prelate presented him, in 1581,
to the rectory of Boacombe,inWiltabire, and to the pre-
bend of Nether-Haren in the Cathedral of Saliabory, of
which be waa also made sub-dean. Four books of bia
work were finished at Boscombe,and printed in 1593, fol.;
again, 1594, foL In 1595 Queen Elizabeth presented him
to (he rectory of Biahopaboume, in Kent, where he lired
flia rest of bia daya. Whilat aailing between London and
Qraveaend, he caught a cold which carried him off at the
••rly age of forty-aeven. He died the death of the right-
•ona, and to hia triumphant aoul " the doora of Heaven
■eemed to open so wide" that he was enabled to catch a
Tiew of that inefiiable glory which aurroundj the throne
of " the High and Lofty One who inhabiteth Eternity."

In the Laws of Ecdesiaatieal Polity, Hooker pre-
sents an elaborate, dignified, and learned defenoe of the
miniatry, ritual, and ceremonies of the Church of England.
Its polemical arguments have satisfied many ; its literary
merits have charmed all. Its fame having reached Rome,
Cardinal Allen and Dr. Stapleton recommended it so
strongly to Clement VIIL, that he wished to have it
translated into Latin, in which language Stapleton read
to him the 1st book, declaring that

** There Is no learning that this man bath not searched Into;
nothing too bard for bis understanding. This nun Indeed de.
aervea Ule name of an author. Hia booka will get reverenoe by
age ; for there Is In them auch aeeds of eternity, that, If the rest
be like this, they shaU oontlnus tiU the last firs shall devour all
learning."

James L remarked to Archbishop Wbitgift :

"I have received mora aaUabctlon In reading s leaf or pan-
graph In Mr. Hooker, though It were but about the feshlon of
churcbee, or ehurcb musk, or the like, but especially of the
sacnmunta, than I have had In reading large treatlaae written
but of one of those anhjeeta by others, though vary leamed
men."

** Charles I. commended the five booka then extant of the Polity
to hia dear children aa an excellent meana to aatlsfie private
Bcrunlea, and aettle tba publlque peace of the Church and King-
dom.^

Our learned author aeema to have a right by long OM
to tfae title of " The Jndicioaa Hooker."

"The adamantine and Imperlahable work of Hooker la his
■oeieidastleal Polity. Blihop Lowth, In the praHue to bis Sngllsh
Grammar, haa beatowed the highest praise upon the purity of
Hooker's style. Bishop Warbnrton, In his book on the Alliance
between the Church and State, often quotes blm, and ealla him
' the excellent, the admliable, the beat good man of our order.' "
—Da. Faaa.

" Of the Ulustrlons Hooker — whoee memory Is embalmed In the
beantlful blognipby of him by laaao Walton — It Is auffldent to
say, that his Ecdesiaatieal Polity is, of all works of that descrlp.
tlon, one of the most masterly snd oonvlndng. Never waa loglo
more aaeeeaaftUly employed to combat error and eatabllah tmtn ;
and the vein of oommon aense, aa well as of spiritual comfort,
which pervadea the pages of that work, will render It, to the latest
posterity, a popular as well as Instractlve performance."— Da.
Dianra : La. Omp., ed. 1826, 'U, 'H.

The following Is no small euloiy :

"Should the Kngllah constitution In Church and State be un-
happily mined bv aome convulsion of exttaordlnary tlmoa, this
book alone probably eontalna materlala auffldent for repairing
and rebulhUng the abattered fiibrlc"

" He was an able champion for the eeeleslaatical bleiarchy. Hia
work diaplays Immenae learning, reflection, and eloqoenoe, and la
atlU referred to aa a great authority upon the whole range of
moral and political prlndplea. . . . The Eocleaiaatical Polltv has
flimlshed, for nearW 300 years, an Invaluable defence of the clergy
to Btudloua men ; out we want, aays the Bev. X. Blckersteth, a
popular work of the like sound, Jadldous, and eTangelloal eha*
raster, for the establisbment of the young, and laymen In gen»
laL . . . Keble'a pre&ca, like Walton'a Ilia, ahonld precede every
anhaaqnent edition. Hooker la nnlveraally diatlnguiahed for
longHlrawn melody and melllfluanee of language, and his works
must find a place In every well-ohoeen demal library. His elo-
quence has been deservedly praised ; but the justice of the epithet
' Judicious,' which his admlren have attached to hia name, Is
mther more questionable. Certainly then never waa a more
thorough-going advooate of thlnga eetabllehed than be haa shown
htanaelf In the whole Fifth Book, forming more than a tblrd part
of the sntii» Ecclesiastical Polity."— Xotondea'a Brit. Lib., 880, MM.

** Hooker waa not pennltted to occupy the field of oontrovon^
alone. Bllaon, Bancroft, Bridges, Coslna, and Dr. Adrian Saravia,

Mr. Beloe proceeds to supply this omission in

Hr. Hallam's autliority is, in all oaaes, one of the most
weicbty which can be adduced :

"The tnest as well as the moat phlloaophieal writer of the
Zllsabethan period Is Hooker. The first hook of the Eecleeiastital
Polity Is at this day one of the masterpieoes of BngUsh aloqaenee.
Bis periods. Indeed, are generally much too long and too Intricate,
but portions of thsin are often beantlfolly rhythmical; his lan-
guage Is rich in English idiom without vulgarity, and In words

than the usage of later timsa parmlts, or even than writers of that

would hare rsckooed neeessaiy; but the example of ancient
orators and philosophers, upan themes so grave as those which
be diseossea, may Jnstl^ the serious dignity flxnn whkh he doea
Bot depart. Hooker Is perhaps the first of such in Kngland who
•domed hla prose with the Images of poetry ; but this he has dona
more Judiciously and with more modeimtlon than others of great
name; and we must be bigots In Attic severity, beibre we can

tor of Hartford Church, and Pillar of Conneotient Colony,"
a native of Uarfield, Leicestorsliire, eduoated at and Fri-
low of Emanuel College, Cambridge, took holy orders and
preached fbr some time in London. In 1626 he became
assistant to a clergyman at Chelmsford, and officiated with
great reputation until siloncedforMoa'eoaformity by Land,
then Bishop of London. He snbaequcntly went to Hol-
land, where he preached for two or three yean at Ddft,
Aouterdam, and Rotterdam, and in 1633 emigrated to
Boston, Kew England, in company with John Cotton and
Samuel Stone. In October of the same year be assumed
the charge of the congregation at New-Town, now Cam-
bridge, Mass., Mr. Stone acting as his assistant. In Jans,
1636, in company with Mr. Stone and about one hundred
other persons, he removed to "a fertile spot on the banks
of the Connecticut," which they called Hartford, — the name
by which it is still known, — in honour of Mr. Stone, who
was a native of Hartford, in England. In hia new loca-
tion. Hooker was distingnished by the same nnqnenchable
teal, untiring energy, and fiery eloquence, which were his

Hope, Thomas, d. 1831, of the aame ihmily as Sir
Thomas Hope, (aaCe,) waa one of the three brothers of thia
name well known as wealthy merchants of Amsterdam.
The anbjeot of onr notice devoted a oonaiderable time,
whilat still quite young, to extenaive peregrinations in
various parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and, after retir-
ing flrom bnaineaa, pnrchaaed two spacious mansions, one
in Dueheaa Street, London, and the other (" Deepdcne")
in the vicinity of Dorking. Thus permanently aettled in
England, Mr. Hope soon rendered his residences famous as
choice galleries of the finest specimens of art The reader
will find an account of Mr. Hope's town-mansion in Britton
and Pugin's Public Buildings of London, and in Wast-
maeott'a Account of the Britiah Galleries of Painting and
Sculpture. For a description of "Deepdene," aee Aubrey's
Perambulation of the County of Surrey; Nealc's Seats of
Noblemen and Gentlemen ; and Prosser's Views in Surrey.
The owner of all thia magnificence died February 3, I83I,
leaving a peraonal property of £180,000. To give soma
idea of the vaat wealth of membera of thia family, we may
atata that Henry Philip Hope, a brother of the subject of
this notice, left at hia death, in 1840, a collection of dia-
monds and other precious stones valued at £150,000, and
aa income of £30,000 to each of his three nephews. A
younger member of thia family has within the last few years '
built a church and a miaaionaiy-institntion in London at a
cost of about £70,000.

Mr. Hope's love of the Una arts, dassioal enthusiasm,
and exquisite perception of the beautiful in articles of
use as well as in the spplianeea of luxury, were developed
in several publioationa, which have deaervedly given him
a high rank aa an author. 1. A Letter addreased to F.
Annesley, Esq., on a Series of Deaigna for Downing Col-
lege, Cambridgeahire. See Lon. Gent Mag., 1831. 2.
Houaehold Fnmitan and Internal Decorationa; executed
from Designs by the Author, Lon., 1807, r. fol., £5 5a.
Large paper, atlas fol., £10 10s. Pp. 173. This work
was nnmercUnlly handled by Lord Jeffrey in the Bdln.
Rev., X. 478-488.

"If the aalvation of Surepa depended on Mr. Hope'a eloquence,
he could not have exerted it with more eameetueaa and anlma^
tton ; and we are convinced that neither the reatorera of learning
nor the reformers of religion ever spoke of their auli}ect in terma
half BO magnificent nor of their own abllitlea with such studied
and graceful modeaty, aa tbia Ingenlona peraon haa here done in
recommending to hia countrymen a better form ibr their lampe,

and interior daeoration of houses :

number of the Magaiine, (x. 312,) in wbich he claimed
the aole authorship of Ahastasius. See alao Blackwood't
Hag., xr. 61. From the many reviewa bafore ni, by
eminent critic*, of thia remarkable medley of Oriental
romance and daasio travel, we have space.for but brief
quotationa :

** Tblt la an extraordlnaiy work In erery aenae of that word.

" Mr. Hope wUl excuia na,— but we could not help exclaiming,
In leading It, 'It tblt Mr. TtaomM Hope I— la tbia the man of

That profound elaaiied aoholar and aeeomplithed bellea-
lettrea critic, Edward Ererett, of Hauaohoaetti, — (till,
fortunately for our national reputation, living amongat us
in tbe maturity of his extraordinary powers, and hardly
•Ten yet become " the old man eloquent," — wrota, nearly
forty years ago, for the oolamna of the North American
Beview, an eUI>orate review of Anastaslus, which choice
piece of criticism we beg to commend to the pcmsal of oar
readers. As regards the work reviewed, we can hardly
advise so general a perusal.
In tbe words of Mr. Everett:

" We are efteld to teeommend the book ttsdf to Indiscriminate
perusal. Some parte are dull and some offenalTe; and the whole
of It reaulraa mote geographical knowledge, to be rend under-
standln^y, than can be auppoaed to be In the poaeeaalon of
general readert. ?or, notwltbttandine what we have aald of the
elevated character of the novel-writing of tbe present day, we
preaume no one reada a novel with a map. \\'lthout a very good

sionally Indulged In a llcentlousnees equally Immoral and die-

** Hope baa a pure and a quick fkney, and maintains tbe aplrit

We have seen that Lord Byron generally obtuned the
credit of the anthorahip of Anastasias :

** Vibm Anastaalua first made Ita appearance, everybody thought
Lord Byron was taking to write proee; tbr there waa no Uviog
author but Lord Byron auppoaed capable of having written au^
a book. When Byron denied the work, (and, tn la^ hie lordship
codM not have written It,) people lookMl about again, and won-
dend who the anthor oonld be. . . . The book was absolutely cram-
med with bold Incidents and brilliant deacrlptlona, with blttorioal
detaila, given Ina atylewhich HnmeorGlbbon could acareely have
anrnaaaed, and with anaJyala of haman eharacter and Impulse,
such as even Mandevllle might bare been paevd to acknowledge.**
— SlaekwcocPM Mag^ xv. 61.

Siich being tbe character of the work, we need not be
surprised that Lord Byron was not offended with the im-
putation of its authorship :

" Byron spoke to-day In terms of high commendation of Hope's

Anastaalns; said that he wept bitterly over many pagea of it, and

Ibr two raasant>-firBt, that Ae had not written It, and secondlv,

At the lime of his death Mr. Hope left two works in
M88., which were sabsequently given to the world, vis. :
•. An Essay on the Origin and Pn»petls of Han, 1831,
3 vols. Svo. This work affords a striking illastration of
tbe absordiUes fnto which chimerical speculations and the
vagaries of an nnbalanced imagination will hurry men
whose edneatioB and opportunities would have promised
better things. Mr. Hope, whilst discarding the anthofity
of the Holy Scriptures, offers ns instead of them tke nn-
Bupported excogitations of his own not very sober brain.
He professes, indeed, to beliere the Bible — jiist so far ai
be finds it to consist with hia own notions of trath. Bat
the folly and incongmily of tbe author's specuIatiaDS have
been se well expowd by Bobert Soutbey, in hi* letter to
Henry Taylor of Jnly 16, 1861, (eee Soathey's Lifia and
Correspondenee,) that we may be excused fivm lingering
on the snbjeet. A review of the work — of about as little
value as tbe book itself— will be foand in the Lon. Honth.

The Daily Communings, Spiritual and Devotional, on
Select Portions of the Psalms, from Home's Commentary,
(2d ed., e4mo,) and the Selection by Lindley Murray,
(1812, 8to,) hare met with warm approlwtion. The last-
named eomprises, says Dr. T. H. Home, "the most
striking, pathatio, and instmctire parts of the Com-
mentary." A ToL of Srieetions fk'om the Commentary
was pub. in 1832, 12mo. It is by his Diseoursea and
Commentary on the Psalms that Bishop Home will always
be favourably known; and it will now be proper for us to
adduce some opinions upon the merits and deAett of theee
productions.

Opinions on the Diseonrses :

Opiniona on the Commentary on the Paalms :
" Hia Commentary on the Paalma la hia capital pertbnnsaee, and
tlM one by which he will be known ao long as piety and elegant
learning are loved hi Engbnd. It Is altogether a beautiful work.
Tlie prdkoe is a master-pleee of composition and good aeoae. The

K^vvd the mdimenta of a classical education between
-<Tr« 1789 and '95 in the royal and ancient founda-
of Christ's Hospital, where, for two years, he was
>«nporary wiUi Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Having
a ^cl the rank of Deputy-&reoian, (the second highest
Mji the npper grammar-sohooy be quitted Ciuist's

Hospital at the age of fifteen yean, baring dd opportnnify
of proceeding to the university. The eldest of six orphans,
small of stature, and not robust, he was unfitted for any
employment requiring physical strength ; and eight yaars
of his life were spent in the humble situation of a clerk
to barristers. As ha had a good deal of time at his com-
mand during the first five years of his career, he diligenfly
improved himself by solitary study, and acquired an in-
sight into the law of England, which he was aflerwardi
enabled to turn to aooount in editing various law-books.
The very narrow income which he received as a barrister*!
clerk early led Mr. Home to direct his attention to litera-
ture as a means of support His first publication was A
Brief View of the Necessity and Truth of tha Christian
Revelation, written when he was only eighteen, and pub-
lished in 1800, in his nineteenth year. The publication
of this little manual led him to the diligent and prayer-
fhl study of the Scriptures, and eventiuliy indoeed him
to undertake the work by which he is best known in this
oonntry as well as in England, and, indeed, wherever the
English language is spoken or read. We mean the Intro-
duction to the Critleal Study and Knowledge of the Holy
Scriptures. In the prefaoe to this work, Mr, Home states
that it

" Originated In hia own wants at an early period of ms, whan
he itood In need of a guide to the reading oTttae Holy Beriptorea,
which would not only fumlxb him with a gmaral Introduetlon to
them, but wonld also enable him to solve apparent oontradletloni^
and to study tha Bibia with that attention which ita Importanea
damanda.'*

At that time he

" Had no friend to assist Us studies or remove Vg donbts, nor
any means of proenring critleal worka At length a list of thfc
more eminent foreign Biblical eritlca Ml Into his bands, and dl-
reeted bim to some of those sources of Infbrmation which ha was
aeaking. He than reeolred to procure such of them as his vary
limited means wonld permit, with the design, In the first lnstanc4L
of aatiafylng his own mind on these topics which had perplexed
him, and, ultlmaialy, of layhig before the public the result of his
Inqulrlea, ahonld no treatise appear that might supersede such a
publication."— To). I Pref., pp. Ix., x.

The idea thus conceived fifty-eight yean ago has been
steadily kept in view to the present time. The fonndation
and much of the subsequent composition of this work
were laid, for the most part, in solitary midnight study.
However much and variously he was engaged in literary
toil for his daily bread, fas the subjoined Ust of his publica-
tions will attest,) the Introduction to Uie Study of the
Scriptures was the first and chief object of his thoughts.
The 1st edition of it appeared in 1818 in 3 vols. Svo, wkieb
In subsequent editions were enlarged into five thick octavo
volumes. It immediately took its station in literature as
TBB Class-Book for the stndy of the Scriptures in all the
colleges and universities in the British dominions. The
author has been spared to see the publication of the 10th
edition in 1858, — thirty-eight years after the publication
of the 1st edition, — and to receive increasing testimonies
of its utility to all classes of readers, but especially to
ministers and students for the ministry. From the very
numerous critical testimonies in favour of this inva^9able
work, we select the following :

The first edition :

"Of all the works which of late years bave been presented to

<* These admirable volumes are too well known to requin either

snitory and superficial reading, which Imparts much less inlbr-

"In every theological library this work Is Indlspensabla It

There is scarcely a qnestkin relating to the study of tbe Boly

manner. As long as a taste for sound Biblical Literature shall be

Ninth edition :
"Hr. Home's gisat work has been too long before tba pnbllo to

need a ibrmal Introduction to the notice of either lay or dericsl
leaders. The appearance of a ninth edition sufliclently attests the
eetlmaUon In which it Is deaervedly held : nor do we hazard too
much when we assert that it has undoubtedly raissd the chanctsr
of theological and Biblical literature throughout Christendom.
There Is, In Act, searoely a single qnsstion reUtlug to the study
of the Scriptures, which Mr. Home has not " "
satlslketarily settled. His Introduction Is ens

of the Scriptures, which Mr. Home has not ablv discussed and
satlslketorily settled. His Introduction Is ens of those wwks with
which Biblical students and candidates for Holy Orden cannot

too soon make themselves thoroughly acquainted and the acqnt
sMon of which they will never rsnat." — Chwuk and Stale Gatittt,
1846.

The ] Otli edition piased through the press in the same
month M that in which this article was written, (Nor. 1856.)
Our own obligations to this work in the preparation of
this DiclioDary will be beat ludentood by the many laftr-
encea to the Iktboddction acatlered throngh our pages;
though these extntoti, valuable aa they are, da not Mly
express the amount of our indebt«dnesa to this •dmirabie
repoaitory of Biblieal literature. The tone of Christian
charity and gentlemanly courtesy, onitad with a lealoii
defence of what he believes to be aound doetrine, whidi
distinguishea the critioiama of Dr. Home, cannot escape
tbe notice of the readers of the Iittbodiictiox.

Besidea the ten editions printed in England, Hr. Ilome'i
work haa been repeatedly reprinted in the United States,
but without any peenniary advantage to the author, in
2 Tola. imp. 8to, and alao in 4 toIs. Sto, to the amonnt of
many thonaand eopiea; which, added to the aggregate
number of 16,000 oopiea of the first nine London editions^
exhibits an unprecedented aale for a work of thia eba-
raeter ; especially when the bulk and price are eonaidered.
Thia extenaire circulation may be ascribed, in part at
leaat, to the facta that the Introduction haa tbTDUghoal
been the joint result of prayer and indeiaUgable study,
regardleaa of expenae in procuring the requtaite critical
aida, and that it is not a aectarian work. Christiana of
every denomination haTc atudied it to their great adran-
tage ; and Ur. Home, in the course of his long life (be is
now in the 78lh year of his age} haa Iwen permitted to
receire not a few testimonies i^om peraona who Iiave Iwoi
preaerrcd or reaoned fVom Infidelity by faia laboon. Mr.
Kennedy, the biographer of ear diidngniabed oonnbymaa,
William Wirt, statea that

"To Horae^B latroductkm, parttenlariy, he wu aeenstooed ts
express his obligations Ibr the conviction of bis own mind; and
hs never lost sn opportunity of eooimendlng It to a Mend."

In hia letters to bis children, among other booki en Ifaa

"Urged them to the carsfUI psmsal of Home's Intieduetloa ts
the Critical Study of the ScrlptorsiL"— JEsmw^'s Msurfii ^ W.
Wirt, vol. IL p. 888.

It haa, in fact, conduced more than any other moden
work to the enlarged study of sacred literatnre; and
eTentually it led to the realisation of Ur. Home's long-
cherished wish of desoUng himself to tbe ministry in tlia
Church of England. The death of hia parents haTing
prcTcnted him fVom prosecuting his atudiea at either of
tbe Engliah nnlTcrsitiea, Dr. Howley, at that time Bishop
of London, diaregarded hia want of an Engliah academical
degree, and, conaidering his Introduction a« aa appro-
priate and honourable pasaport to Holy Ordera, orduned niaa
in 1819. In the preceding year the Univeraity of King'a Col-
lege, Aberdeen, eottferred on Mr. Home tbe degree of M.A.
In 1828 Mr. Home performed the aeademiotl exereiaa*
reqnired by the VniTersity Statutes, and proceeded to the
degree of B.D. in the Unlreraity of Cambridge; and ia
1841 the University of PennsylTania conferred upon Mr.
H. the degree of D.D. In 1833 Dr. Howley (then Areb.
biahop of Canterbury) presented him to l^e reetory of 81.
Edmnnd-the-King with SL Nioholaa Aeons, In the dty
,of London, as a small token of hia esteem for Mr. Horse's
peraonal worth, and his aenae of the serTioes which Mr.
H. bad rendered by his works to the theological and Bibli-
cal student. Dr. Blomfield, Bishop of London, had pi«-
viously collated him to the prel>end of Sneating, in the
Cathedral of 8L Paul, aa a mark of the esteem whirh tbe
biahop entertained of the ralne of those serricea which
Mr. Home had rendered to the cause of Christianity by his
diiferent pnblications, especially hia Intreduction to the
Study of the Scripturea. Aa the population of the United
Parishes (of which Ur. H. ia rector) ia small, be has foand
time to produce many valuable publications, and also ta
keep up an extenai^ eorreapondence with literary men,
and especially with thoae who are engaged in eontroreny
with the adTocates of the modem Church of Rome.
Beveral of his pubiioations were written primarily for the
edification of hia parishioners and their familiea, by whoa
they were grateftaily reeeired and acknowledged. It only

Hosmer, Willlnm H«Brr Cnyeil, b. 1 81 4, at Arosi,
Western New York, was ed.ncatad at the Temple Hill Ae»-
demy at Geneseo, and at Genera College. He was en-
gaged in the practice of the law at Avon until 1854, when
be removed to the city of New York, where he h(dds aa
ofBce in the Custom-House.

Mr. Hosmer became an author at a rery early age, — ^his
muse finding congenial themes in the legends, costens,
and superstitions of the North American Indians, with
which be was familiar (h)m his childhood. Tbe following
chronological list of his productions is extracted from a
woA to whidt (as to tbe other vols, by tbe same anthor)
the student of American Letters most have fluent rtttt-
nut, — Oriswold's Poets and Poetry of America:

"In 1830 he eompaeedadraaaa entitled 'The Ball ofTseamsak.*
His llret publication, except contflbntloee to thajoamalaand megs
sines, was ' The Themee of Bong,' eontatniac about six haadred
and llfty lloee; this appeared In 18S4, and was followed by 'Ike
Pioneers of Weetem New York,' In 18S8; 'The PraspeeU of the
Age,' In IM1-, • Yonmndlo, or The Wanton of the aaneaee,'la
1844; 'TtaeMaDtha,'lnl84i; • Bird Molee," Lageada of tbe Seae-
eaa,' and 'Indian Trmdltloiu and Songs,' In 18A0; and a e
edition of fala ■ Poetical Works,' In two volanias^ In 1853."

Dr. Griswold commends Mr. Hosmer's poetry in rssy
bigh terms. After some eulogistic commenia upon " tlie
longest, if not the most important of his prodaetiooi^'*
tiie critic continues:

"To such poems, however, [thoae lelatlag to the Indlaaa^] mcsl
readers will de apt to prefer the ainiplar effnalona la which ha haa
echoed the Notes of the Birds, or peiated the varying iihiaiaaaiia

Boagh, John, D.D., 1661-1743, a osUn of Middle.
•ax,adaeatad at, and Fellow of, Magdalene College, Oxford,
WB* eleet«d President of his college in 1887, in oontempt
•f die arbitrary mandamns of James II., who illegally
attempted to force the Fellows to elect Anthony Farmer
head of the college. The king hereupon sent a mandate
to the Fellows to elect Dr. Samnal Parker, Bishop of Ox-
ford, • Boman Catholic, President of the college. Upon
the rebisal of the Fellows, Lords-Commissioners were sent
to Magdalene, who were stoutly confVonted by Hough and
twenty-six of the twenty-eight Fellows of the College, and
tha keys retained by the former, who boldly protested
•gainst the illegal proceedings. The Commissioners then
(weed open the door of the President's lodgings, and
placed Dr. Parker in Hough's place.

"Tha natloB, as well as tlie uolTeralty, looked on all this pro-
eseding with a Just Indignation. It was thought an open jrieee
or robbety and baigUry, when men anthorhed by no legal eom-
mlsrioa cams ferdbly and tamed men oat of their possssaion and
fteehotds."— Bnner BoaiiR.

This occurred in October, 1887 ; and in the end of Sep-
tember of the following year, James II. — now alarmed for
the aafety of his crown — ^took measures by which Hough
•ad his expelled Fellows and Demies were restored. After
the Revolution, Hough was. In April, 1890, made Bishop
ef Oxford; in 1899 he sneceeded Dr. William Lloyd, Biabop
of Lichfield and Oonntry; in 1716, on the death of Teni-
aoD, he declined the Archbiehoprio of Canterbury, but in
1717 he became Bishop of Worcester. For Airther infor-
laalion respecting this excellent man, the reader is referred
to the histories of England ; John E. Wilmot's Lift and
Correspondence of Bitbop Hough, Lon., 1812, r. 4to; and to
the Lin prelzed to Bishop Hough's Sermons and Charges,
by Wm. Russell, Oxford, 1821, 8vo. During the bishop's
Ufa be pab. eight occasional serms., 1701, '02, '04, '05, '09,
'12, 16, all in 4to. Mr. Russell's collection eonlains four
aharges and nine sermons, but neither of the abore aar-
■aoBS, at which we somewhat marvel. Hough leit strict
order* that none of his MB. sermons should be pub. after
his death.

Howard, Hearri Barl of Sarrey, 16187-1647, one
of the most eminent of English poets, was the third son
of Thomas, Earl of Sarrey, and third Doke of Norfolk,
by his aeoond daohais, BUxabath, daogbtar of Edward
Btadbrd, Dnice «f Bnekingham. In his early youth be
iraa a companion at Windaor Castle to Beniy Ktxtoy,

Dnka of Mchmond, Henry VIIL's natural son ; and he
snbseqnently aeeompanied his friend to Cardinal College,
now Christ Cbnreb, Oxford. In 1636 he was married to
the Lady Frances Vere, in 1M2 served In the army
under his father in Scotland, and in 1644 was appointed
Field-Marshal of the English army on the Continent. Ha
did good service at the sieges of Landreey and Boulogne,
and, by his valonr, skill, and aooompllshments, secured a
degree of popular favour which excited the jealousy of
the king and the Earl of Hertford, the king's brother,
and thiu proved bis rain. In 1646 he was ordered to
relnrn tnm the Continent, made a prisoner on his arrival
in England, convicted of high treason on the most absord

Selenoes, and beheaded on Tower Hill, January 19, 1547.
e left two sons and three daughters to monrn bis nn-
timely and melancboly end. Muoh obsearity rests upon
his adventures as a romantic traveller and poetical lover,
and until reeeittly but little was known of tbe far-famed
lady to whom ho indited the most celebrated of his efiti-
sions ; but

** It seems to be now asaertslned, sflar swesplag away a best cf
iiolliih legends and traditionary prejodioes, that tbe Geraldlne of
Surrey, Lady Elisabeth Pitsgerdd, was a child of thirteen, tat
whom bis passion, If such It Is to be called, began leversl years
after bis own nuniage. But, In act, there Is more of the conren-
.tiooal tone ef amorooa soag than of real emotSsn In 8«rrey's
poetiT. The

' lasy sighs, sash ss men diaw In leve,'
are not like the deep sorrows of Petrarch or the flsry transports of
the Oestnhms."— AUtom'i LO. Hit. qf Emtpt, ed. 1854, 1. 4M

The passion. If sneh we are to call it, for " The Fair Ge-
raldlne" commenced in 1641, or six years aflar bis marriage
to Lady Frances Vera. Oeraldiae, %h» danghtar of Oorald
Fitsgerald, Earl of Kildare, ( meet probably the Lady Elisa-
Iieth,) was bom in 1 628. She became the third wife of
Edward Clinton, Earl of Lincoln. Those who desire to

" Bnrtey, lir his Justness of thought, coneetness of style, and
purity of ezpnsalon, may Jnstly be pronounced tbe flrst English
elssslml post. He nnqnaationably is the list polite writer of love-
Tecses in our Isnguoge. It must, however, be allowed that there
Is a striking naUve baia^ In some of our love-venos written much
aarller than Snn^s. But in tbe most savage age and countries
rude nature has tsogbt elegance to tbe lover. . . . Surrey's talents,
which are oommonly supposed to have been eonlned to sentiment
and amorous lamantatlon, were adapted to deoeiiptlva poetry aad

the lepnaentationa of rural Imagery Surrey la saM, by the In-

molons author redltorl of the Udsis' LmAM, to liave been the
ifst who broke through the ftsblon of stansas and wrote In tbe
baseiceonplet. But all Surrey's poems are In the alternate rhyme;
Bor, bad thia been true, Is the other position to be granted. Chan-
ear's Prologues and most of the Canterborj lOlea are written In
long verse ; nor was the use of the couplet reenmed till late in tbe

MKn of Elisabeth In tbe sonnets of Snrrey we are surprised

to And nothing oftliat metaphysical cast which marks the Italian
poets, Ills suppoesd masters, especially Petiarcb. Surrey's sentl-
nents are fcr the most part natniol and nnalliMted; arising fWm
hia own IMinga, and dictated by the praasot circumstances. His
poetry Is alike unembarrassed by learned aUnatons or elaborate coo-
eelta.* If our author copies Petrarch, It Is Petrarch's better man-
ner: when Im descends tnm bis Platonic abstiaettons, bis rsSne-
meuts of passion, his exaggerated compltaoaenta, and his pbiy upon
opposite santlBMata, Into a track of tenderness, shnpllcity, and
nainia. Petrarch would have been a better poet had he been a
worse sebohir. Onr author's mind was not too mocb overlaid by
leaning."— W&rftm'f Biit. of Eng. Pmtry, ed. 1840, ffl. 28, 80, 3i,

Dr. Notf s comparison between Wyatt and Snrrey, in the
Diaaartation ptellxed to tbe 2d rol. of his ed. of Wyatt and
Sarray, {wide axle,) is wall worth perusal, but the work of
which it forma a portion can rarely ba had. The loader,
bowarar, will find an aztnct from thl* Diiaartation in
Hallam'a Lit Hist, of Bnrope, ed. 1864, L 42IM28. The
laat-named eminent aathority remarks of Sarray :

"The taste of tUs aeeompliahed nun is mon striking than his
poetical genius. He did much for his own country and his native
Ungnage. The Terslflcation of Surrey dlffera very eonsldenbly
ftom tint of his predeoeesors. He Introduced, ss Dr. Kott ssys, a
sort of Involution Into bis style, which gives an air of dignity
and lamotenesB tWm ecsanma llfc. It waa, in kot, borrowed ftom
tlM lloeuae of Italian poetry, which onr own Mlom has refected.

was esteemed " the leamadest amongst the nobility, and
the most noble amongst the learned." Of his " learainf*

Howard, John, 1728-1790, the eminent philanthro-
pist, whose name will in all ages be held in reverent
••teem, was a native of Hackney, London, the son of a
wealthy tradesman, and the inheritor of a large fortane.
In 1777 he visited every prison in the United Kingdom,

trans, of a Freneh Account of the Bastile; and in 1789
the Duke of Tusoaay's New Code of Civil Law, with an
English trans. The deplorable condition of the prisons
at home excited a determination to visit those of foreign
•ountries, with the hope of benefit to the miserable in-
mates; and faithftally did this good man carry out his
praiseworthy enterprise. A detail of his labours does
■Dt^ of eonrse, enter into the plan of • work of this cha-
racter; bnt It is only proper that we should direct the
reader to the best sounses of information respoeting a
philanthropist whose praise was in every one's mouth,

Slandid eulogy of the greatest orator of modem Europe,
e died at Khenon, South Russia, January 20, 1790, of
• malignant fever, caught daring a visit to a young lady
for whom the benefit of his counsel had been invoked.
Be was buried with distinguished hononra by the Russian
suthorities, and his death excited a profound sensation
tbronghont the civilised world. A monumental statue to
liis memory, by Bacon, was erected in St. Paul's CathedraL

(32. We need hardly remark, in conclusion, ^at the in-
flnenee of Christianity was the great moving-power which
•ant John Howard from the pleasant home and lovely
■cenery in which he so greatly delighted to visit the cheer-
less cells of the miserable, the neglected, and the forsaken
«f earth. The barren creed of infidelity enforces no such
duties, seeks no sooh honours, and submits to no such
Mcriflcea. Tot this Apostle of Humanity understood too
well the spirit of the Gospel of Christ to suppose that
•van Am labours— abundant and self-saorificing as they
«ere— could do aught to procure remission of sin or poz-
chaae acceptance with his Maker :

"Mr immortal spirit," aiys he, "I east on the sovenlgn mersy
■at 0«a, through Jesns Christ, who Is the Lord, mv strength and
my song, and, I trust, has become my aalvatloD. My daura Is to
be wasbed and cleansed, and justlted. In the blood of C3irlst and
to dedicate myself to that Saviour who has bought us with a
prfce."

Howitt, Mary, a danghter of Mr. Botham, of
Uttozeter, a member of the Society of Friends, was mar-
ried to William Howitt a congenial spirit, in 1821. Tha
lires af both baTO bean so well told In a publication

1856,) that it will be unnecessary to repeat what we should

is better aaswetad by a list of their poblieationa, with
some critical notices of their eharaotaristies as writers, —
which citations of opinions we are obliged to lestrlot

The above register allbrds a tolerable proof that Mary
Howitt has not "eaten the bread of idleneas,-" but, if to
these volumes — ^many of them exhibiting evidences of no
little toil — we add her oontribntions for the last thirty years
to the periedwala of the day,— to The Amulet, The Literary
Souvenir, The Drawing Room Scrap-Book, (of whieh she
was for three years the editor,) The People's Journal, Ac,
— ^we aliall hare an aggregate of printed matter which few
anUiors of the day ean equal. But unfortunately the mere
fact of voluminousness does not always imply either merit
on the part of the aalhor or advantage on that of the
pnbllo. The great question is not as to quantity, but as
to qnidity. By many writers we should have htm bene-
Ated more had they written less ; and of many it ia to be
regretted that they aver wrote at alL But if of any we
ean justly say, — This pen has ever been employed in the
advocacy of the tme, the baaotiful, and the good ; the alle-
viation of human suffering, and the cure of social disor-
ders; the education of the mind, and the improrementof
the heart; the eoltivation of home-duties and home-aBeo-
ttona, and the development of fraternal unity in the great
brotherhood of man;— snnly of snob it shall be said. Here

At this eritiqne Hr. Howitt felt himself grMtly aggrieve^
and BO expressed himself, wherenpon the reviewer retumea
to the attack with renewed ardour, (see Athentsnm, 1847,
147-149.) Other notices of the work will be found on pp.

by a correspondent of the Jonmal,) 135, 151, 173, 200, 201,

making bare walls eloquent and giving spsach to all the netghbooi^

Dnneombe, with Notes, 1772, 3 vols. 12mo ; 2d ed., 1773,

siderable credit : of his original efforts The Siege of Da-
mascus is the only piece by which he is now known to tba
reading public. Addison thoaght so highly of Hughes's
dramatic abilities that he begged him to write the fifth Act
of Cato:

" Hughes was very capable of wrMug tMs fifth Act. Tba Siege
of Damascus Is a better tn^y than Cato, though Pope affected
to speak slightingly of Its author."— Da. Joasra Wsisoii : 1M» to
Avc't Pnhgiit la Onto.

" He f HuffbesJ Is too gnve a poet for me, and, Z think, among
ibe Sltdiacnstt In prose as well as verae.** — Swift to Pope '

" What he wanted In genius, be made im as an booest man;
but he was of tbs class you think bha."— Afw to Sw\ft.

Dr. Johnson, who In his life of Hnghes quotes the above,
(md more of the same eorrespoadenee,) avoids giving any
opinion respecting tfae literary merits of his author; but it
is easy to perceive that he agrees with the estimate he
cites. An eminent critic, in hb comments upon the merits
of onr author, remarks :

"The only pteoe, however, which can with any propriety dalm
tx Hn^xa the appeUatlan of a poet, is The Siege of Damaseua
Of this Drama, which Is still ooeaslonally acted, the sentiments
and morality are pure and oorreet, the Imagery ft«quently beautl-
ftol, and the dSetloa and versiacatlon for the most part dear and
melodtous. It Is defcetlve, notwithstanding, In the most nsser>tlal
(luality of dramatle composition, the power of affecting the paa-
skiDS ; and la, tbevstee, more likely to afford pleasure In the closet
than on the stage. . . . HugheS has man merit as ■ translator of
poetry than as an original poet ... On the prase of Uughas I am
Inclined to bestow more praise than on his poetry. ... All the
periodical essays of Hughes sre written In a style which Is, in
general, easy, oorreet, and elegant: they occasionally exhibit wit
and humour; and they nnilbrmly tead to Inenlcate the beet pre-
cepts, moral, srudentU, and rellgloua."— i>raJb>'t Arnys Hbutra.

Unme, David, April 26, 1711-Angnst 26, 1776, a
native of Edinbur^, was the second son of Joseph Hume,
or latbar Home, of Niaawells, near Dnnse, Scotland, a
daaeendant of the Earl of Home. The subject of our
notice, after an unsatisfactory attempt to master the study
of the Kw, and a like nnsucceasfbl essay (in 1734) as a
merchant's clerk in Bristol, went to France, with the de-
fign of pursuing there, in an economical manner, those
literary pursuits in which alone he took any Intereat In
1737 he came to London, and in the year following gave
(0 the world hia Treatise of Human Nature. Thia, bis
iMt publication, was not suooessful ; bnt it Is diffleult to
discourage a young author who has once seen his eompo-
liUons in print, and in 1741 appeared hia Essays, Moral
•nd PoliticaL This work met with more favour, and he
was induced to follow it up in 1748 with Philosophieal
Biotys ooneeming Human Understanding, (in ihot, a new
•dit of the first part of his Treatise of Unman Nature;)
in 1761 with An Enquiry concerning the Principles of
Morals; in 1752 with Political Discouties; and in 1766
with The Natural Hist of Religion, Ac. It was between
the dales of the two laat-named publications that Hume
put forth the first vol. of the work by which his name will
be tnnsmitted to the latest posterity. The publication of
the History of England — 1st ed. in 6 vols. 4to, Lon. — was
M follows : — Vol. I. The Reigns of Jamee I. and Chariea L,
1764. IL The Commonwealth, and the Reigns of Charles

— between Hume and Rouaaeau.

It la now time to return to the personal history of the
author, preparatory to a brief examination of his ehaiae-
teriatics as a man of letters. Although the first voL of the
History was at firat severely eensarad, aad then almost
entirely neglected by the public, yet the appaaranea of Um
Dissertation on the Natural History of Rriigion before the
publication of the seeond stimulated the languishing emi-
osity of the reading world, and Hnme found himself it
last in possession of that literary distinction for whieh be
had long pined in secret The demand for the suecaeding
vola. was so great, that fbrtane was added to fame ; and
the former waa subsequently augmented by seTeral dlple-
matie and other political ^ipointments ; among whieh was
the Seeretaiyship of the French Embassy, 176S-46, aad
the post of Under-Secretary of State under Oeneral Cea-
way, 1767-68. In 1769 he bade adieu to pnbKe Hfb and
' the literary oirele* «t London, and returned to the city tt
his birth, doubtless with much of that yearning for old
scenes and old friends so beanUfhlly described by the
author of The Deserted Village. Be ratamad home, he
tells us, "very opulent," for he "possessed a revenue of
£1000 a year ; healUiy, and, though somewhat stricken in
yean, with the prospect of enjoying long his ease." Bnt,
notwithstanding the natural desire of the philosophar
"To hoaband out life's taper at tke cloat.
And ktep the lame th>m waaUag, by rspoaB,*
hia days had now qiproached their termination. In tte
spring of 1776 ha was attacked with a disordar of tbn
bowels, which gradually sapped hts strength, and raaalted
fatally on the 25th of August, 1776. After hia death ap-
peared, in 1779, 8vo, his Dialogues concerning Natanl
Religion ; and in 1783, 12mo, were pub. his di^racafU
Essays upon Snieida. The mischievona efieet* of tham
unpbilosophieal speculations, therefore, were thus ex-
tended, to the injury of others, after the author had gene
to his account The excellence of Hume's ehaiaeter as a
man has been so well described by Mr. Maekentie, in tb«
story of La Roche, (see The Mirror, Noa. 43, 4S, 44,) and
so unequivocally attested by Adaas Smith aad other eon-
temporaries, that it is quite unnecessary to enlarge npoa
this head. In the autobiography tnm whieh we have
quoted above, the reader will ha oAan reminded — notwith-
standing the more ambitions style of the Historian at
Rome — of the charming namtion of Gibben of the inci-
dents of his own life. .^^

We have now to consider the mljeot of our aiH^a, tia^
in, the character of a Meatal and Moral Philuaophar;
secondly, in that of a Political Philosopher aad PoUticai
Boonomist; and, thirdly, in that of a Hiatorian. It is
hardly necessaiy to remind the laadar that all that can
Justly be expected of as, in the limits to whieh we sra
necessarily siroumscribed, is an indication of the beat
sources of knowledge respecting the aothois of whoa «a

In onr life of Jeremy Bantham, in thia Dictionary, we
have briefly notioed the famous doctrine of Ctility, of
whioh Home waa one of the iirat and moat diitingoiahad
teaobers.

Before leaving thia branch of our aalt)eet, it may be ex-
pected that we should make some commenta on that
unfortunate production of onr antfaor'i, — the Eaaay on
Miracles ; bnt a natural reluctance to dwell on the foliiei
to which even great minds are bnt too prone would in-
dispose na to linger upon the recollection of this melan-
choly example a| inteilectnol sophistry and Utarary dis-
honesty, had we not already trealad the subject at
auflicieat length in the previous pagea of tiiia work. The
reader ia referred to the article on AnAaa, Wv., D.D., (the
friend of Johnson ;) Cakpiell, Ocorgc, D.D. : Dorsi.Ai,
ToBic; Leland's Beistical Writers; Works of Wm. Ellcty

of Religion, by Mr. Hume, Ac, by S. T., Lon., 1758, 8ro;
and many of the anthoritiea cited above and below.
This matter may be very well dismissed with the sensible
reflections of Sir Walter Scott, in his aeeoant of the Life
and Writings of the historian's friend, John Home :

"The celebrated David Hume, the philoaopber and hietorlan,
was certainly the moat dlatlngnlshad peraon In tile cycle, [the
literary aodety af Scotland.] That ha waa moat nnbappy In
permitting the aeuteneaa of hia talents, and the pride aHsing
fiom the eonsdouaneaa of posaswing them, to Involve Um In a
maxe of sceptical liinalons. Is most undenisble, aa wall aa that

Ve hare alnady noticad the mt«i« eensnra eliettad by
the poblieatioa of the firat toL of the Hutot7 of EngUnd,
and the atill more prorokiDg neglect b; which thia ccnanra
wu nieoeeded. The expreaaed opinion* of the few who
Toatored to read the book were certainlj ill oalenlated to
enoonnge the ambitiqn of the upiring author. But no
one can tell the atory lO well a« the hiatorian himaelf :

"In IT62 tbe racolty of Advocataa cboae me their libraijan,
an oAee for which I receircd little Or no emolnment, bnt which
gave me the command of a large libranr. 1 then formed the plan
Of writing the Hlatoiy of England ; but, being (Hgbtened with
tba notkm of eontlnning a namtire ttaroagh a period of eerenteen
bnndnd ycara, I eemnuneed with Ute aecamlon of the Honae of
Stnart, an epoch when 1 thonght tile ralarepreaentatlona of foetion
btign eblelur to take place. I waa, 1 own, sangnine In my ex-
peetatkma of the anooeae of tbia work. 1 thonght that I waa the
only lllatorlaB that had at once neglected preeent power, intereat,
and aatborlty, and tba cry of popiuar pr^ndleee; and, aa tbe anb-
ject waa inltad to every oapacity, I expected proportional ap-
platue. But miaenble wai my dtaappointment : I waa aasailed
oy one eiy of reproach, dlmppiobation, and even deteatatlon ;
Engllab, Seoteli, and Irlah, whig and tory, churchman and sectary,
freethinker and rellglonlat, patriot and* courtier, united in tlieir
rage againat a man who liad preaumed to ibed a generona tear for
tbe flite of Cliarlea I. and tbe Marl of gtrafford; and altar the lint
ebnllitiona of their ftaiy wen orer, what waa atlllanore mortliying,
tbe book eeaiaed to alnk faito oblivion. Mr. Millar told me, that
In a twelvemonth ha sold only forty-ftve eepiee of It. 1 eearoely,
indeed, beard of one man In the tbiee kingdoms, considerable for
rank or letters, that eould endure tbe book. I must only except

Mr. Ritchie (In hia Life of Hmne) tella na that^ after a
diligent search into the literary hiatoty of tbe period, he
baa been unable to diicoTer any trace of that unirenal
outery which Bame complains of. Bnt doubtless the
author heard mon than any one else did ; much that waa
said was never leeorded ; and of the last a large portion
may be presumed to hare perished or to be buried in for-

fotten arehires. With tbe reception of the second vol. of
is History the author had greater reason to be satisfied :
"This perfonnanca," he tolls us, "happened to give
less displeasure to the Whigs, and was better received. It
not only nse itself, but helped to buoy up its unfortunate
brother." As his reputation as a literary man was now
well established, tlie remaining vols, were received with
■Tidity, and those already pnb. brought prominently into
ootiee : the sale was snIBeieDtly lam, he informs us, to
render him not only " independent, but opulent." "Not-
wlthstaoding the variety of winds and seasons to which
my writings have been exposed, they hare still been
making such adrances, that the copy-money given me
by the booksellers mooh exceeded any thing formerly
known in England."

It is now time to examine Into the merits and demerits
of a work which has so long held, and which promises
ever to bold, a prominent place in the ft-ont rank of Eng-
lish litorature. If we were obliged to compress into the
limits of a single sentence the characteristics of Hume's
History of Bnglaad, we suppose that the following would
be eonsidered an impartial statement : — Beauty of style,
carelessness of faet^ and intolerance of spirit Home
was too fastidion* to be inelegant, too indeleat to be
aceurato, too bigoted to be impartial. His chagrin when
obliged to atop the press to make important corrections

mortifioatioD at being obliged to writo to Robertson
respecting the same aifair, "we are all in tha wrong,"

We entirely coincide with thia assertion : Hume will
always I>e read, in spite of hia carelessness, in spite of his
errors, and even in spite of bis penrersioos. Nine readers
seek omuaement where one seelis iDslrnctiou, and even
the tenth man will not negleet Hume; nor can he safety
be neglected.

Dr. Johnson, certainly no admirer of Hume in any of
his cbaraoters save that of a tory, erinoed his niuai con-
tempt of popular opinions by declaring against the much-
lauded style of the historian :

■■The eonrermtion now tamed upon Mr. Darid Home's styl&

This qaotation may remind the reader ef lb* eritieiaai of
•eetebrated reviewer of onr own day. Commenting on the
literature of " the reigns of tbe trst two tieorgas, and the
greater part of thatwhieh ensned," Lord Jeffrey remarlu:

■* The name of Hume la by iar the meet oonaideiable which
occura in the period to which we have alluded. But, though bis
thinking waa Engllah, bis style la entirely French; and, being
naturally of a cold Ihncy. there ia nothing of that eioqaenes or

Gibbon's epigrammatic description of the style of the
two historians with whom his name is so often associated
has been already refeired to mora than onee, and may
here be properly quoted :

"The perfoet eompwdtion, tbe nsrvons langnage, tbe wen-turned

ririods of Dr. Robertson, Inflamed me to the ambitions hope that

of Gibbon, Bobertson, and Hume, will be fonnd in Schlos-
scr's Hist9ry of the 18th Century, in Frederick Schle^l's

critiqnes we had intended to quote in this article, hat we

Whilst it ia deeply to ba regretted that Hume'a literary
vanity and nnphiloeophioal thirat after notoriety ao often
betrayed him into apaeulations whose practical elTeet is to
eradicate the Aral principles and the laat hopes of morality
and religion, we are pleased to be able to quote, for the
•nooaragemeut of our atadiona readers, a reflection which
bas douDtleaa atimnlated many to days and nights of
mental lalMur and intellectual toil:

" Such a superlciitj do the pursuits of lltentnre poassas above

In tham merits tne pm^mlnaDoe above those that excel the most
in the comnoii and vulgar profcaatona "—Butarf <^ Xngland:

" Contains a mass of moot varied and valuable Information.'*—
Lm. BcUe. Reo,

A biographical account of Mr. Hunt will be fonnd in
the Lon. Qent Mag., Jan. 1855.

Huat, Freemaa, 1804-1858, widely Icnown aa pro-
prietor and editor of The Merchants' Hagaxine, was a na-
tive of Qainoy, Mass. Whilst a resident of Boston, he
established The Ladies' Magazine, The Weekly Traveller,
and The Juvenile Miscellany, and also gave to the world
Anecdotes and Sketches IlliistraUve of Female Character;
and (in 1830, 2 vols. 12mo) American Anecdotes, Original
and Selected.

"The best-known collection of American aneodotea." — ^Zi. P.
Wiuu: N. Turk Kirrar.

In 1831 Mr. Hunt removed to the city of New York,
where he continued to reside nntil bis death. His first
enterprise in this city was a periodical entitied The Tra-
veller, to the oolnmns of which be contributed a series Ht
entertaining sketches of travel, which were afterwards
eoUeeted and pub. under the title of Letters about the
Hudson and ita Vicinity. This vol. was reviewed with
great favour, and passed through three edits.

In 1839 Mr. Hunt determined to supply a great want in
the literary and commercial world ; and in July of that

Sear he issued the trst number of his famous Merchants'
lagaiine, which now presents in ita thirty-eight well-
fill«] vols, a most valuable library of Commercial Litera-
ture, For the energy, peraevennce, and talent auceess-
fblly developed in this important enterprise, Mr. Hunt
deaervea more praiae than we have time or apace to afford
him. We shall, however, quote some more valuable
opinions than onr own at the eonelnaion of this article.

In 1845 Mr. Hunt pub. the flrsl vol. of The Library of
Commerce, and in 1SS6 appeared the first vol., and in 1857
die second vol., of Lives of American Merchants, and
Wealth and Worth, a Collection of Morals, Maxims, and
Miscellanies for Merchants. ' It has been well remarked that
"The titles as well as toplca of these works show the concentra-
Uon of pnipcae with wbloli Mr. Hunt fires hinuelf to Yiit chosen
Held of literary Uboor."

The subject ef onr notioe was elected a member of
numerous statistical and literary societies, and received
the degree of A.M. tnm Harvard University. Other
notices of Mr. Hunt and his nscftal pablieaUons will be
found in Poo's Literati, N. York, 1850, 60-52; Bungay's
Olf-Hand Takings, or Crayon Sketches of the Notieeable

at Southgate, Middlesex, waa the aon of the Bev. laaac
Hnnt (ante) and Hiss Mary Eheweil, the daughter of
Stophen Shewell, a merchant of Philadelphia. An aont
of this lady's waa the wife of Benjamin West, the eminent
American painter. Young Hunt commenced authorship
at SD early period, and, when the poet waa only about six-
teen years of age, his verses were oolleeted by bis father
and pub., with a large list of subscribers, under the title
of Juvenilia ; or, Poama written between the ages of Twdre
and Sixteen, Lon., 1801, 12mo.

"I waa aa proud perhape of the book at that time, aa I am

These effusions were given to the world shortly after
their author's departure fVtua. Clirist Hospital, where, like
Coleridge, Lamb, and many others who afterwards attained
distinction, he received his early education. After some
•xperience as an attorney's olerk, and in the duties oon-
■ected with a peat in the War Offiee, Hnnt united in 1808
with his brother John in the establishment of a weakly
paper entitled The Examiner, which periodical, owing to
Leigh'a able editorship, soon acquiied great popnlarity.

Donbtiless the practice which he had cnttlrated in very
early life as theatrical critic fbr the " KTaws" now proved
of great advantage to the young editor. Having thus be-
held him fairly lunched upon that life of literary actiritr
for which he has bean so distinguished for the last half-
century, we must refer to his piquant Autebiogiaphy for
farther particulars of his career, whilst we devote the
limited space to which we ate lestrieted to a catalogue of
his works, and the citation of some opinions upon their
merite.

■■The works of HotehinsoB are entitled to notice, es tbelr
author was the fonnder of a achool of philosophy and theology to
which some of the most oelebratad men of the last century be-
lon(^. However abaurd many of Its speeulatlons seam to be,
tliare must be a planilbillty in tba leading prlndplea of a system
which engaged the attention and support of such men as Pre-
sident Forbes and Bishop Home, Mr. Farkhnrat and BMiap
Uorsley. Tba leading Idea of Hotchlason is that the Hebrew
8crlpturee contain tlie elements of all ntlon^ philosopliy aa well
as ofgeoalne rallgkm. That philosophy he opposes toibe New-
tonian ; and henoa ha wrote his Mosas-Mneipla, or a eommentauy

thto rabjeet in the Edin. PhiL Trans. His theory, as eom-
munieated in tba above papers, had bean wamly attacked
by Dr. Kirwan, in the Memoir* of the Irish Academy..
The day that Button read Kirwan's attaek he eommaaead
the preparation of the MS. of the above two vols, for the
press. Professor John Playfair laalonaly eepoosed Hut-

have entertained a fraternal sympathy with all who wen
engaged in the laudable design of enlarging the Iwnnds

Irving, Thomas. Con. to Hed. Com., 1790.

Irving, Waahington, one of tbe most distinguished
of modem authors, was bom April 3, 1783, in the city of
New York, in a house in William Street, between John and
Fulton Streets, and not far from that venerable pile ibo Old
Dutch Church. This mansion — so long an abject of in-
terest to citlten and sojourner — had until within tbe last
few years reaiatad tbe progreaa of " improvement," which
waa gndually changing the face of the neighbourhood;
but it too at last yielded to ita fate, and in 1846 ita sit*
was ooeupied by one of the stately " Washington Stores."
The father of Washington Irving was a native of Scot-
land, his mother an Englishwoman, and perhaps it is not
enlireiy a matter of imagination to fancy that the national
ehaxacterisUcs of both parents an to t>e discovered in
several of the productions of the author of The Sketch-
Book and Bncebrldga Hall.

The oarliest of Mr. Irving's eontributiona to tiie Re-
public of Lattsra— a number of letters on the drama, the
socisl onstoms of New York, Ac. — were pub., in 1801,
(under the mom dt pltme of Jonathan Oidstyle,) in The
Homing Chroniele, a Democratic journal, edited by the
author's brother, Dr. Peter Irving. These epistles appeared
in pamphlet form, widioat the author's consent, in the year
1824. After some attention to the study of Coke and
Blackstona, the state of Ur. Irving'a health cauaed him
in 1804 to aeek for that physical beneilt which a chang*
of scene and climate might naturally be ezpected to
afford. After an absence of two years in Italy, Switxer-
land, France, and England, Ac., ha ratnraed home in
1806, resumed his legal studies, and waradmitted to the bar.
In January, 1807, appeared, to the gnat delight of the wits of
the good city of Ootbam, — always willing to eiyoy a laugh, —
the Brat number of a semi-monthly magasino, the joint pro-
duction of Washington Irvingaod William Irving; the latter
oontribuUng the poetry, and hints and sketebes for some of
theeaaaya. Tliia waa the ainoe-fkmoaa Salmagundi, or The
Whim- Whams and Opiniona of Laoncelot LangstalF and
Others. The amusing oharaeter of tliis periodical rendered
It oXMedingly agnedUe to the town, and its popularity pro-
mised a long and profitable lifo; hot for some naaon or
other it was discontinued aftor the issue of the twentieth
number. In 1809 was pub. the fkmous History of New
York, by Diedrioh Kniekerboeker. Tbe flnt part of this
work was sketched in company with Dr. Peter Irving, who,
on his departure for Sarope, eonfldad tho whole to Wash-
ington, by whose humorous genius it was expanded to its
present shapsL Though this was one of the first-iVuits of
Us inventive talent, it is risking but little to aflinn that in
its paenliar qualities it has not been surpassed by any later
^orla — ■neeassfnl as they liave been — of its accomplished
author. In 1810, Washington Irving— who bad never
found sufficient attraation in hia legal studies to induea
him to pnetisa ths profession — waa admitted as a partner,
with two of his brothan, in the extensive commeraiu
establishment which they oondnctad at New York and
Uvarpooi. The firilan of this hoasa in 1817, oonsequant

of peue twtWMD BngUnd and the United States, ocenrred
when Waabington waa in Earope, and thi> reverge of for-
tune induoad tbe already popular author to determine to
follow literature ai a profesiion. Ho liad of late employed
hit pen but Mldom : a aeriee of naval biograpbiea eontrl-
bnted to Moaei Tbomaa'f (of Pbiladelpbla) Analeotic
Magaiine, (of which Irving was in 1813-14 the editor,)
and a biographieai alteteh of Thomas Campbell, preflzed
to a Philadelphia edit of the works of tbe latter, are all
of Irring's prodnetioni with which the world seems to
have been fcronred, firom the date of the publication of The
Knickerbocker, in 1809 to the time of the appearance of
The Sketch-Book, in 1811. The numbers of the last-named
work (composed in London) were transmitted to New York
for publication, were read with aridity on both sides of the
water, and several of the series were soon copied by Jer-
dan in the London Literary Gazette, and by the editors
of other periodicals.

"We are greatly at a loss [remarks tbe fcrmidable Blackwood
la tbe number Ibr February, 18301 to eomprebend for what raenm
Kr. Irving has thought flt to publlsb Us Skstcb-Book In America
earllsr than in Britain ; bat at all events be Is doing himself great
InJuBtlee by not having an edition prlutad bete of every number,
after It has appeared In New Tork. Nothing has been written *>r
a long time, for wblcb It would be mote safe to promise gnat and
eager acoeptanos." — Vol. vL U7, (by J. O. Loekbari.)

This is the article referred to by Sir Walter Seott in the
letter quoted by Irving in the Preface to his revised edit.
«f The Sketeh-Book.

This was eneonragemeot indeed,^-eneonragement such
•a many a British aspinnt for literary fkme would have
given the copy-right of his best work to have secured. In
the same month in which the above eulogy appeared,
Ztvisg pnl>. in London, under the nam depUtmt of OeoSrey
Cn^oo, Oenta, the first voL of The Sketoh-Book. It was
printed by John Miller, but at the author's expanse ; Hur-
ray, the Oreat Mogul of the book-trade, having declined
the enterprise. The failnie of Miller within a few weeks
after the publication threw Irving again on the town for
» pnblisher, and, through the friendly offices of Sir Walter
Seott, Murray was indnoed Ia act u the ptenrisea. He
gave the author £200, which he soon felt justified by the
■ale of the work in ioereasing to £460. Tbe Sketch-Book
was originally pub. in Februaiy, 1820, in 1 voL, but in
July of the same year it appeared in 2 vols., — a 2d edit
of the 1st, together with a new voL The author had now
attained an extended literary reputation, both at home
and abroad ; and so far was he from having any diflionlty
in proearing a publisher, that when Braeebridge Hall, or
the Humourists, was ready for the press in 1822, Mr. Mur-
ray was ready to offer 1000 guineas for the copy-right
without having seen the MS. He obtained tbe coveted
prise at his offer, and subsequently gave the same
author nearly twice as much (£2000) for the Chroniele of
the Conquest of Oranada, and quite three times as much
(SOOO guineas) for the History of the Life and Voyages of
Christopher Columbus. But we antioipata. The dMas of
the pnblioatioas of Irving's succeeding works, given to the
world between the appearance of The Skatoh-Book in
London, in 1820, and his retam to the United Statea in
May, 1832, were adffoUows:

In May, 1832, aa above stated, Mr. Irring retomed
home, after aa abeense of eeveotean yean. During this
long period be had bean an extensive traveller. We left
him at London, superintending the publication of The
Sketch-Book, in 1820. A portion of this year and of the
following was spent in the eity of Paris: the winter of
1822 was passed at Dresden, and that of 1826 in the South
«f Frasea. In the winter of 182S-2S, at the earnest
xaqnest of Mr. Alexander H. Bveratt, American minister
to SpUn, — to whom the idea was first suggested by 0.
Bich, Esq., American Consul at Madrid, — Mr. Irving
visited Madrid for tbe pupose of translatuig into Bnglish
the valuable oompiUtloB of Nararette, Cdeoeton de lot

Viages y Seseuhrimientos, Ac. pah. at Madrid in 1 82S, (after
Mr. Irving's arrival,) in 2 vols. 4to. Mr. Rich, indeed,
had £rom tbe first set his heart— not upon a mere transla-
tion of this collection, but — upon a Life of Columbus from
tbe pen of Washington Irving. This darling desire he
was so happy as to see realised, and to him, therefore, is
the world indebted for the publication of this work. Mr.
Irving was the guest of this eminent bibliographer,
whose name has long been honoured by students in both
hemispheres ; and, says he,

**In his extensive and cnrloas llbnuy I Ibund one of the best
eolleetloas extant of gpenhh mionlal history, oonUhilnciiuiiy
doeuments Ibr vhlefa 1 might elsewhars seardi In vain. This be
pot at my absolute eommaad, with a ftankness and nnnserre
seklom to be met with among the pnssmsms of such rare and
Tsluable works; and bis Ubraiy has bean my amia rasouros
thntugbont the whole of my labours.**

We shall have more to quota to Mr. Rich's credit when
we reaoh his patronymic in the future pages of our Dic-
tionary. In this year (1828) and the fallowing, as also
in the spring of 1820, Mr. Irving made profitable journeys
in the South of Spain, the resuls of which were given to
tbe world in 1820, in The Chronicle of tbe Conquest of
Granada; i»1832, in the pictarasque pages of The Albam-
bra ; in 1835, in The Legends of the Conquest of Spain ;
and in 184S-i4, in Mdiomet and his Successors.

Mr. Irving left Spain in July, 1828, and returned to
London to discharge the duties connected with the fiaere-
taryship of Legation to the American Embassy, whieh
had been conferred upon him during his absence. In 1830
Mr. Henry Ballam and himself were honoured by the gUt
of the two fifty-guinea gold medals ordered by George iV.
to be presented to the two authors who should be a4)udged
to have attained the greatest exeellenee ia historical aom-
poaition. This high compliment to Mr. Irving was a well-
deserved tribute to the merits of his Histoij of the Life
and Voyages of Christopher Columbus. In die next year
the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon Mr. Irving by the
University of Oxford, — a testimonial which that aagnst
body is not in the habit of bestowing upon slight founda-
tions. After an absence protraet^ through seTentaea
years, Mr. Irving at length sailed for home, and arrived
in New York on the 2Ist day of May, 1832. To one who
had conferred such imperishable renown upon the Ame-
rican name — even bad there been nothing in the msa to
elicit that enthusiastic aSeetion with which Washingtoa
Irving is regarded by his countrymen— no eommoD honours
were aeaorded. A public dinner was immediately tendered
to him in New York, and the (Heads of early days, to-
gether vrith those who had grown into civic eminence and
social consideration during his absence, united in paying
homage to him who bad conferred honour upon all. The
sitixens of other States also claimed their right to eater-
tain their illustrious eountryomn, and nothing but that
modesty whieh has always been a distinguishing trait of
bis chancier prevented a series of ovations and a tri-
umphal march through the American Republic from Bea-
ton to St Louis and Philadelphia to New Orieaas.

Spain, and, ntarning boma in the latter year, wmglit a
qniet retreat for his remaining years in Wolfert'i Roost,—
an earthly paradise which we shall not attempt to desorilw
after the portraiture whioh the owner himself has given
to the world. The " Stranghold of old Baltus Van Tassel
on the Banks of the Hudson," so graphically sketched in
the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, has now acquired a double
share of renown and nndying honours by the occupancy
of its eloquent topographer. A well-drawn picture of
Wolferf s Roost and its present lord (by Henry T. Tuoker-
man) will ha found in The Homes of Ameriean Authors, K.
York, 1853. Here, in his baehelor-home, — for Oeoffrey
Crayon has been content to eulogise the blessings of matri-
mony whilst denying himself their indnlgenoe, — in the
eompany of his snnriring brother and affectionate nieees,
who are to him as daughters, the author of the Sketeh-
Book passes his tranquil days in ealm anticipation of that
change which, we trust, for tiie sake of his many friends, is
yet at a long distance.

His publications sine* his retirement hare been the
Biography and Poetical Remains of the late Margaret
Miller Daridson, 1841; Oliror Ooldsmith, a Biography,
1849, (enlarged ttom a aketoh preflzed to the Works of
the latter puL in Paris, CUignani, 182S, 4 vols., Bandry,

1849-60 ; The life of Qeorge Washington, vol. i., 18&&,
il. and iiL, 18M. This work will probably comprise tiro
or three more volumes. Mr. Irving has also within the
last few years superintended the publication of a reviaed
edit, of his works, — urged thereto by the persoasioDS of
the eminent publisher, Mr. Gleorge P. PnUiam, of New
York. The new edit was issued by Mr. Putnam in IS
vols., 1848-50, and the sale so far (i.«. to Jan. 1857) has
been 250,000 vols., which, added to about as many disposed
of the old adits., gives an aggregate sale in America alone
of half a million v<ds. of the works of this popular author.
This enameratton does not include the 98,000 vols, already
printed of the unfinished life of Washington, nor the num-
ber of copies sold of WoUert's Roost, which must be very
large.

«si steel, aeeompaaied by an elaborate and eaieiblly-pre-
paied Biographieal and Critical Sketch of Mr. Irving, (kom
ASWtoatft Distienary of Authors; also, a notioe of Sonny

Side, Ac, by H. T. Tuokeiman, Esq. ; together with choiM
passages selected from each of Mr. Irvlng's works."

The "notioe" by Mr. Tuckerman, above referred to, is
an extract ttom the admirable sketch entitled Sunny Side
and its Proprietor, to which wo have just called the atten-
tion of the reader who desires to see a graphic portraiture
of Qeofirey Crayon reposing amidst the rural shades of
Sleepy Hollow. We can bear witness to the fiuthfnlnesa
of the pietnre. There are enongh points of resemblance
in literary taste, culture, and style between the limner and
his subject to make '"Tuckerman upon Irving" sound as
natural and fitting as " Coke upon Littleton."

Nor must we omit to notice the Illustrated Edition of
Irvlng's Liib of Washington, now (1868) in course of pub-
lication (by Putnam) in semi-monthly Parts, (14 to each

shall proceed to adduce, as we have done in other iostaneeSy
the verdicts which eminent critics have passed upon the
literary characteristics of the subject of our notiee. In
many preceding eases we have been obliged to omit mneh
more tiian we had space to quote of Interesting and tmly
valuable criticism ; but, when we commence the pleating
task of citing opinions respecting the productions of Wash-
ington Irving, we are literally oppressed by the sm6arras
de richata. As we- glance around our libtary-shelves,
and behold the mass of materials which we, have been for
years collecting on this theme, (as we have on the sama
scale, though not to the same extent, collected for the
illustration of many thousands of other writers,) we feel it
to be no ezitggeration to say that we could readily fill a
goodly oetaro volume arith the matter which our space will
oblige OS to rejaot Be it our care, therefore, to make that
judicious selection iVvm the materials which invite oar
research, which shall truly feprescnt the impression whioh
this distinguished writer has made upon the present gene-
ration and the one which first sat in judgment sm the
early fruits of his literary toil.

It wu to tbia work that Irring owed his fortunate in-
trodaotion to- Sir Walter SootL Campbell waa awar« of
the delight with which it wai read by the Great Unltnown,
•nd therefore gave (ha aathor a letter to Abbotaford. The
yoong American arrired at Selkirk on the 2Vth of Aaguat,
1817.

"I had aome down ft«m Edtnbnigh," he tella na, "partly to
Tldt ilalroee Abbey and ita Tidnlty, but chiaHy to get a sight of
the 'mli^ty minstrel of the North.' I had a letter of Introdne-
tkm to him from Thomas CSampbell, the poet, and had reason to
think, from the Interest he had taken in some of ray earlier scrib-
bliJaas, ttwt a Tisit from ms would not ba deemed an intrasion.
Ob the following morning, after an eatiy breakftst, I set off in a
pcatchaise for the Abbey. On the way thither I stopped at the

Bto of Abbotaford, and sent the poetllllon to the house with the
;tar of tntrodnctlon and my caid, on which I had written that
1 was on my way to the ruins of Melrose Abbey, and wished to
know whethHBr it would be agreeable to Mr. Scott (he bad not yet
bean made a baronet) to rseelTo a rlslt fhna me In the eonrae of
the morning.'* — Jrviiiff*t Abbot^/vrd.

Mr. Lockhart shall tell ui in what spirit this " modest
approach" waa reeeired :

•* Scott's ftmlly well rsmambar the delight with which he reed red
tUaanBeaneamesit : hawas at brsakflut, and sallied forth Instantly,
4ofl and ehiidrsB aftsr him aa usual, to ^reet the guest and con-
daat Urn in paraesi ftom the highway to the door."— ZAaUar«'s

Mr. Irring moat be permitted to take np the thread :

"Bafora Scott bad reached the gate he called out to me in a
bsarty time, welcoming me to Abbotslbrd, and asking news of
Caniwall. Anired at the door of the ehalae, he grasped me
waxMly by the handi ■(>»», drlre down, drtre down to the
hoaae^aaU ha; 'ya're Jost In time for breakflut, and afterwards
ye dmll aaa all the wonders of the Abbey.'

"I would have excused myself on the plea of hating already
made ny brsakflut ' Hout, man I' cried be ; ' a ride in tba moming
In the keen air of the Scotch hHla Is wamnt enough for a seeond
braakfoatl' "— (TK swra.

Thus graphically, ia aketohed, by the gntited atranger,
bia tn% faitarriaw with the tried and loving friend of many
yean ; and this lifelike deaoription ia familiar, or should
be n, to alL Bat it has l>een the happy lot of the writer
of tfaeae pagea to hear flrom Irring's own lips — while the
geSerooa tear of affeetion quivered in his eye — the pathetic
•oooont of bli latt interview with bia friend, a few months
before the lamentations of nations over hia grave taatified
to the atrong hold whleh ha had gained upon the hearta
•f hia readeri In every land. But we are anticipating
here; sbeald wa ever record the deeply-interesting narra-
tion to which we refer, it will be more appropriately intro-
doeed in our life of the author of Waverley. It ia worth
mentioning, in this oonnexioa, that in a letter ftom Bcott
to Jeha Biobardaon, dated S2d Sept. 18IT, he remark! :

"WhsB you sea Tom Oampbell, tall Urn with my beet love that
I have to thank him for making me known to Mr. Washington
frrlag, who Is one of the bast and pleasantast aoqualntanoaa 1
have naade this many a day."

Every American who baa been abroad, and mingled at
■n in the polite circles of Europe, can testify that Sir
Walter Soott her* speaka that only whloh thonaands wUl
gladly endorse. We quote one instance which we find
neoidad ia Mr. N. P. Willia's agreeable Pencillings by the
Way. Ha ia describing an evening parfy at the Counteaa
of Blessington'g :

« Neareat me sat Smith, the author et Baleeted Addmsaw, s
bals^ handaome man, apparently Utj, with white hair, and a very
Sobly-lbmMd head and physiognomy. . . . Among other things, ha
talked a great deal of America, and asked ma If I knew our die.
ttngnlabed eonntryman, Washington Irving. I had never heea
(0 fortunate aa to meat him. 'Yon have mat a great deal,' ha
aald, 'for never waa so dellghtftil a Mlow. I waa once taken
down with him into the oountry by a mereliant to dinner. Oar

If we' would walk through his grounds to the hoose. Irviag

own gronada. I have no Idaa of praising a thing wbaihar I Uha
It or not Ton and I will do them tomorrow moming by our*
selves."* The raat of the company had turned their attention to
Smith aa he b«gan hia story, and ttaera was a onlversal inquiry
after Mr. Irving. Indeed, the drat qaeatlaas on the Upa of avaiy
ona to whoan I am intsoduoad aa an Amarisaa an of him and
Cooper."

Tom Hoore's warm aifection for the anthor of Tha
Sketch-Book is no secret to those who have read the
entertaining Diary of the former, recently pabliahed by
Lord John Bnaaell. We quote from one of the poefs
entries a bon mot of Irving's, wU«h hag amnaed u not a
little:

" April 10, 1830. — ronot to mention In Ha place Irving's deacri^
tion of the evening at Horace Twias's, (the evening of the day ha
wanted me to meet the Duke of WelHngtoB.) Bat fow peofile had
come; aad 'then was Xwlas,' said Irving, 'with hia two grsat
nun, the Duke and the duneellor, Jnat like a spldar that haa got
two big fliea and doea not know what to do with tlum.' "

But, the reader will query, bow bad Scott become
acquainted with the literary merits of the young Ameri-
can ? — for such acquaintance be aeeag to have Iiad. Lock-
hart shall again be our spokesman :

"Scott had received The Hbtory of New York by Knickar-
booker, ehortly after its appsarance m 1812, iVom an aeeomplisl»d
Amesioan traveller, Mr.- Bravoort; and the admiralrfe hamow of
thto Mriy work had lad htan to aatidiiato the brflilaat eanv
which ita aathor has since run. Mr. Thomas Oampbell, being ne
stranger to Scott's high estimate of Irving's ganins, fare hua a
letter of introduetion," Ac

It SO happena-^tbongh His hardly an accident, either —
that we have befoie ns a fac-simile of Scott's letter to Hr.
Henry Brevoor^ acknowledging the receipt of Kniekar-
bocker's History of New Tork; and it is strictly to oar
present purpose — the citation of opinions upon Inring's
works — to quote this epistle for the gratification of m
reader:

" JQi Dear Sir >-l beg yon to accept my beat thanks for Iha na-
oommon degree of entertainment which 1 have reeelved from tha
moat exeallantly-Joeoae hlalory cf Mew York. I aa aaaaihle that
as a stranger to Aooerlcan panles and fxilities 1 moat loaa aodk
of tha eonoealed satin of the piece; but I must own that, looktag
at the simple and obvious meaning only, 1 have never read aiqr
tidng so elosd^ reaambllng tba style of Dean Swift aa the aanau
of DIedrleh Knickerboeker. I have been employed thaae few

" Your ofauged and humble servant,

"Wuna 800111
" Abbotslbrd, 23d April, Ml*."

We have already aeen that it waa to the friendly oflkM
of Scott that Irring was indebted for the happy dreom-
stanoe which made John Harray his pnUiaber, aad the
handsome tribote to both theaa gentlemen whieb appaan
in the Preface to the reriaed edition of The Bketeb-Book
(Jfew York, 1848) mast not be omitted in thia place :

•• The Sketch- Book^s a timid, beautiful work ; with some eblldlah
pathos in it; some rich, pure, bold poetry: a little squeamish,
puling, lady-like sentimentality : some courageous writing, soma
wit, and a wurid of busaour, so happy, so natural, so altogether
unlike that of any other man, dead or allTe, that we would rather
bare been the writer of It, fifty times over, than of every thing
else that he haa ever written. The toncbea of poetry are every-
whera; but never wliera we would look for them. Irving has no
paaskm; he fillle utterly In true pethos, — cannot speek as if he
wera carried away by any thing. He la always tbonghtftil ; antL

which might be dispeneed with here, when we have to boast of tha

Aa thia charge — of Utaraiy anachronism — haa often been

Mr. IiTixic't comments are fully endorsed 1)y an eminent
Bngliah authority :

" The accuMcy of bb plctiirM of old English costoma aod iporte,
vblch he repreflenta as flooriahlng under the Inflvenoe of the
benevolent squire, has been questioned, we know, by suburban
readers : In our opinion, and according to oar exfieiience, there la
nothing too highly coloured In them. [The writer then procee<ls
to prove his position.] We think, therefore, that, (u from exceed-
ing the limits of probability In this respect, Mr. Irving has hardly
made the full use of northern customs which was r«ally open to
him. Nor can we see any thing overdrawn lix the chara£tere them-
selves."—ion. Quar. Rec, MxL 476, 477, March, 1824.

The Dublin Unireraity Mng. remarks, in the same strain :

** Braeebrldge Hall Is the only account we have which gives any
thing like a true picture of the life of an English country gentle-
man of OUT own day."— Hay, 1836, (54.

"The great charm and peoullarlty of his work cousists now, as

6. Taub or A TRarcLLan, 1824.

"I have been miserably disappointed in the Tales of a
TraTeiler." In this strain commences Timothy Tickler's
nriaw of the Tales, and he proceeds to abuse them torri-
Uy : the more so, he intimates, from the (act that

"raw people bare admired Hr. Irving more than myself, faw
hwe praised Mm more, and certainly Ibw wbh him and Us career
»•*»' Wj" I do at this moment"— Adzeihs. Jfa^, xvL 284, 2W,

In the same periodical (xvit. 8«-flr, American Writen,
So. 4, hy John ITeal) the Tales are quite as severely
bandied, but the critic dismisses the author with many
civil words and a hearty benediotiOB :

"You— Oeoftey Crayon— have great power, — original newer.
Ws rejoice in your follure now, because we believe that it will
drive you Into a style of original composition, fhr mora worthy of
yonrselfl Oo to work. Lose no time. Tour fonndationB win be
tile strongerfbr this nproer. You cannot write a novel, a poem,
a true tale, or a tragedy. You am write another ^EcrCH-Boox
worth all that you have ever written, if yon will draw ont frcm
yourself. You nave some qualities that no other living writer
has.— a bold, quiet humour, a ridi, beautify mode of painting
without caricature, a dellgtatfbl, Ikee, happy spirit: make use ot
them. We look to see you all the better for thb troundng. God
bless you 1 Farewell."

The reviewer in the London Quarterly (vol. xxxL 481-
487, Hateh, 1826) finds hardly any thing to commend io
the Tales of a Traveller, save the autobiography of Buck,
thome:

" It b with great pleasure tbaA we tnm Ihnn productions which
Hr. Irving honestly confesses to be the sweepings of bb Soap-
book, to the tale of Bocktboroe, whose adventures, tngetber with
tliose of hb fHends, occupy the second division of the tales. In
thb Instance, flnding the contents of the ssid Scrsp-book run
short, be has been driven to tax fala own invention In good esi^
nest, and the result is excellent From the evidence of uds tale,
which abounds In point and Incident, it seems probable to u that
be might as a novelist prove no contemptible rival to Goldsmith,
whose tnm of mind be very much Inlierits, and of whose style he
partlcnbrly reminds us In the Ufii of Dribble. Like bim, too, Mr.
Irving possesses the art of setting ludiorone perplexities In the
most irresbtlble point of view, and we think eqiub him in ths
variety, if not in the ftnve, of hb humour. . . . After the evidence
of Mr. Irving's powen aAorded by the last-quoted psHsaas^ be
must la ftatnre be tme to hb own repntatton throughout, and
correct the habits of Indolenee which so eooaidwable a part of the
laiee of a Tnveller evince. The Indulgence which be so lUrly
deserved ai bb outset, as an Ingeoions stranger intuitively pro-
fldent in the style and ideas of the motkercountry, must now
csase, and be must be considered io Itatnre as not only admitted
to the full freedom and privileges of the EngUsb guild of anthor-
sblis but amenable also at the same time, as an experienced crsfls-
man, to its most vigorous statutes. We may cungmtnlate blm
on the rank which he has already gained, of wbMi the momentary
caprice of the public cannot long deprive Um ; and with hearty
good will, playinlly, but we hope not pra&nely, we exdaim, as we

Ssrt with him, ' Terr pleasant hast thou been to me, my brothar
onathan.'"- £<M. Qmr. Bet., xxxl. 48S-t84, 480-487.
But perhaps the most severe of all the reviews of tb«
Tales of a Traveller appeared in the Westminster Review,
(ii. 334,) then in the first blossom of its yooth. Geofircy
Crayon's conrteons notices «f the English nobility, and
bis eqnally creditable disgust at the sangoinaiy honors of
the French Revolution, excited tlie ire of the demoeratie
critio to an nncontrollable pitch. Even the anthor's ad-
miring fkiand, Tom Moore, seems to have had bnt little
hope for the success of the Tales :

■• Irving and I set out Ibr the cottage betvreeu ten and etovaD.

(he N. Amer. Rev., xlUL 43-62, July, 1836, fby J. L. Kings-
lay,) of the Italian Jesuit Ubertino Canara s Latin epio on
the Discovery of America, entitled Colombns, first pub.

We reeenlly ent the fallowing notioe from soma paper
of the day :

" OlmH of CMuRiftM^An old pictare.daaler has lately sold to
the Bpanish SoTemment, for 4000 tr^ the chart which the pilot of
Odambns, Juan da la Ooasa, used in his voyage to the New World.

In the addnetion of opinions respecting the manner in
whieh Mr. Irving has acquitted himself in the responsible
oflee of the biographer of the Great Admiral, wiUi whom
ean we so properly begin as witti that eminent scholar to
whose researehes Mr. Irving and the world at large are
to mnch indebted for all that we iiiote of the illastrions

rejoiced to find from the certainty that if the opinioa
made as much against, aa it fortanately does for, the his-
torian's reputation, k would not be withheld from our
readers. Our daty is aeitber to bury Ctesars nor to praise
them, bat rather to faithfully chronicle the recorded de-
cisions of the great judges of literary jurisprudence. H.
NaTarreta may well be supposed to bare entertained a
natural anxiety that the oopfoni collections for the illus-
tration of the Life of Columbus which he had brought
together, at the price of so many days and nights of per-
severing indnstry and oareftal research, ahould be faithfully
made known to those who could only enjoy them in an
English dreas. Indeed, aa We have seen in a preceding
page, nothing more was originally contemplated by Mr.
Everett than a translation by Irving of Navarrate's Collee-
oion. Bmt, fortunately ibr the cause of letters, Hr. Irving
determined upon a more comprehensive undertaking :

"On considering the matter more maturely, [ha remarks,] I per-
ceived that, although there were many books. In varioua languagsi^
relative to Oolnmbus, they all contained limited and Incomplete
accounts of his life snd voyages; while numerous valuable tracts
on the subject existed only In manuscript or in the form of lett«%
joumala, and public muniments. It appeared to me that a bl»
tory ftlthfblly digested frtxn these Tsrious materials was a deslde.

It is proper that we should next quote the verdict of
Mr. Alexander H. Everett, — so intimately connected with
the inception of this great enterprise, — one of the ripest
scholars that America has yet produced, and a critic of
too much candour to permit his own interest in the work
or his frisndship for the antbor to either inlnence his
judgment or qualify its expression :

" This is one of those works which aie at the same tlaia tha
daUght of readers and the deepair of crItiesL It Is aa nearly pei^
fcet as any work well can be; and there is Ibareibra little or

that tha task of duly ealabrating the achlavements of the disco-

There is another eompailsoa between Bobertaon and
Irving which it oocnn to ns to qnota. It is one drawn
by liOtd Brougham in bis Life of Dr. Bobertson, and
aiieitad by the aeeount of the latter, in his History of
Ameriea, of tbe fltat diseovery of land liy Cohanibu:

" If the ward dnmaUe," nmarki hk lordaliln " baa been appHet

can dimbt that with tha moot acrapnloaa regard to the truth, end
even to the minnta aecwaey of bia biatory, tbla ceaapoaMoD kee

raanaet, I wdl not eoapain or rather contrast It with the HMerics
of Oviedo or Herrera, or FanHnand Q>lnmbu% or even with the
lur better eoapoSition of Dr. Campbell', or wboerer wrote the bl»

Tha noiile critic then prooeeda (in a note) to qaota «s-

"It Is no part of my Intention in wndarrate the martts af ttk

"The period of the Mooriah aaeendaney la, perbapa, the moat

eloquently to dilate upon the ancient gloriea of Cwdova,
Berille, and Qianada in their twst eatate ; bat it did not
enter into hia plan to dlacuai thia eomprehenaire theme
in the extent which cao alone do it juatioe. With the

We moat not omit to quote the following well-merited
tribnta to a gentleman who, by bis extenaire circulation
of sound Uteratore for many years both in Europe and
America, has honestly earned the title of a benefactor to
the pnblic mind. We refer to Mr. Irving's friend and

" We notke Astoria end the Tour on the Prslrles now, only on
account of tbelr eonnectkm with our auUaet, and to commend tba

of all tha writlnga of Mr. Irving, at a pries which onKht to obtain
Ibr tbam a wide circnlatkm. Tbeaa two works, which have all the

We have not the sligbteet interest in the gains or losses
of Hr. Putnam's copy-rights, bnt we have mneh in tha
moral and intelleetual cultiTation of tba mind and heart
of onr oonntrymen and countrywomen, and therefore, aa
Lord Chesterfield said of the witty sointillations of tba
Dean of SU Patrick's, " He that hath any books in tba
three kingdoms hath thoae of Bwift," so say we, He that
bath any books in this great republic should have those of
Irving. As for those who have no books, — if any snoh
there lie, — in that hoasehold yon may look for anaat,
mental and physical languor, goasiping, dissipation, and
"every evil work." As Sancbo Panta conferred bif
hearty benediction upon the philantliropia inventor of
aleep, so do wa eor^ailly rarare the eharaeter of tfao Uto-
raiy Howard who founded the Urst family libraiy. Of
Baneho'a fhvonrite recreation he eoold only say, in tbo
height of his somniferous pman, that it "covered a man
like a mantle ;" but of good Iwaks we can testify that they
nurture the soul with the food of angels.

We bare before na a number of eulogistic reriewa of
the Mi\j Tol>. of this u yet unfinisbad history ; bat it is
obvious that a production of this character must be re-
garded as a whole, and that no intelligent, impartial criti-
cism can be expected until those among us learned in
bistortt lore shall have had opportunity to sit in judgment
upon a completed work, and compare accredited " State-
Paper" documents with the biographer's charming story.
Tliat such verdict will be a favourable one, Hr. Irving's
well-known conscientiousness as a historian forbids us to
doubt. Id the mean time, there can be no impropriety in
our remarking that the biographer has well merited the
gratitude of his countrymen for transporting the illastrious
commander from the learned austerity of the Senate-
Chamber, and the chilling dignity of Congressional Li-
braries, to the domestic familiarity of the parlour and the
winter-evening fireside of the cottage. Reviews of the
early vols, of the Life of Vashington will be found,— of

As every thins concerning Washington Irving may be
presumed to be interesting to the reader, we quota the
following genealogical scrap from Dennistoun's Hemoin
of Sir Robert Strange :

« John of Irwyn liad landed possessions In the parish of Holm,
in Orkney, In 1438, when ttie county was stUI an appanage of the
crown of Denmark snd Norway. The Irrlnes of Sebsj are very
frennently neottoned In the times of Robert and Patrkk Stewart,
Bans of Orkney, and suffered very sereraly ftom the outrages of
thsee rapadoos nobles. They t>ecame extinct In the direct mala
line lemjwre Charles I.; but one collateral branch liad Immediately
beixe settled In the Island of Banday, and another, the Irrlnea
of Qalntay, In the Island of Sbaplnibay. They lost the estate of
Qairstay several generations back, and sank down Into the condi-
tion ot mere peasants, tenants of Quhome. where some of them
nslde at this day. I was there lately with Mr. Balfour, the pre
prietor of Shaplnshay, who pointed out the old and modest bouse
at Qnhome where was bom WUllam Irrlne, lather of Washington
Irving. Is it not somewhat slngnlar that Sir Robert Stnnge and
the author of Bmeebrldge Hall can be almost demonstrated of the
same blood 1 I ^ixss If Irving knew bis pedigree conld be traced
step by step up to John Srwyn of 143S, be would raadlly claim
and vindicate his Oreadlan descent."

referred to Lord Byron's enthusiastic attachment to the
writings and character of Irving, (Life of Lord Byron in
this Dictionary.) In a letter to Tom Hoore, (Ravenna,
July 6, 1821,) he remarks:

« I hare had a friend of your Mr. Irrhlg'a, ... and talked with
him much of Irving, whose writings are my delight"

Again, under date of Sept 24, 1821, he proposes to Hur-
tay, OS one of the articles of their future correspondence,
that he should not send him ** any modem, or (as they are
sailed) new, publications, in Bngluk, KkatmereT, save and
■xcepting any of Walter Scott, Crabbe, . . . Irving, (the
American,)" Ac.

"The names of Cooper, Cbanning, and Washington Irrlng,"
remarks the historian of Modern Europe, "amply demonstrate
that the American soQ Is not wanting In genlns of the most ele-
vated and fludnatlng ehameter." — Sn AaonmAU> Ausos : HUL of
Amps, 1T89-UU, diap. Izxvl.

Mr. Stewart, of the American Navy, a friend of the pre-
sent Bmparor of France, tells ua that, when in New Tork,
Iionia Napoleon declined to " appear in society," but adds :

"'There are, hoTrcTor." remarked the prines, 'indlvidaals ml-

lodlerans heeones half pktnreeqas."— Buauan H. Duii, 8a. : IT.
Amtr. Jtet., Ix. 830, 8ept 1819.

If Mr. Dana were called upon to reafflrm the above,
after forty years, and over the large pile of volumes which
Hr. Irving has since given to the world, we are atliaftwi
that he would do it without a moment's betitatioo.

Many years ago Edward Everett advised the jrooog
aspirant after literary distinction,

"Ifhs wishes to studyastyle which pcaswsea lbs charecteristte
heantles of Addhoo's, Its eass, simplicity, and elegance, with greater
aecnracy, point and spirit let blm gire his days and nights to the
volumes of Irrlng."— JV. .<<a«n-. Rm., xU. 4, July, ISU.

Toung men have followed this advice most sednlonaly}
and, iooeed, a nnmber of yeara before thia coonael waa
panned, Hr. Irving's ezampla had prodneed wonders :

**Tbe neat effect which It has prodneed Is soffldently erldeut
already.ln the number of good writers. In various forms of elegant
literature, who have sprung up among us within the few years
which have elapaed since the appearance of Mr. Irving, and who
Justify our preceding remark, that he may &irly be considered as
the founder of a school.'— AuxA:isni H. eviutt : If. Amur. Ba.,
xxvlll. Ill, Jan. 182*.

" Heietmbrs the assays of Waafalngtoa Irving bars offered a
soUtaiy specimen of the Ikbtsr Utstaturs e( Ameria, but we caa

ters, who follow doeely in his footstep*."— Cbwt Jimrmat : XtUct

These remarks applies to both sides of the water. If aa
English reviewer desire to pay an especially handsome
compliment to an author, — presuming that the case admiu
of a likeness being inatitntad at all, — ^ha is very likely to be
atrongly reminded of the atyle of the author of The Sketch-
Book. Let na cite some instances. The sutbor of the
article on George Colman and Bonnel Thornton's Connois-
seur, in Chambera'a Cyclopedia of English LiteratarCk
quotes a passage firom an essay on Country Churches,
" which," aaya the critic, " aeema like a leaf fktim the note-
book of Waabington Irving." The reviewer in the London'
New Timea remarks, of the author of Tales of a Toyager,
that his " humour is of the spirit and quality of Washing-
ton Irving." The London Oentleman's Uagaxine says
that in the perusal of The Journal of an Exile " we have
Creqnently been reminded of the style and manner of The
Sketeh-Book, — the same pathos, the same originality of
thought, the same felicity of expression." The London
Honthly Review is so delighted with The Lucubrations of
Major Humphrey Ravelin, that it declares that "many of
the practised writen must/oti into Ike rear, in eompetitioa
with Hi^or Ravdin, who must s«nuf aiiister with Oe<rfFrey
Crayon." The London Spectator, in a notice of the Auto-
biography of Hugh Miller, remarks that " his style has
a purity and elegance which reminda one of Irving and
Qoldsmith." One of the most distinguished of American
authors is not disposed to think that any of Irving's imi-
tators have equalled their master; at least, this waa hia
opinion at the time h* penned the artiele from wlUeh we
are about to quote :

'■The candour with whidi the E«0lsh have lesngalsed Mr.
Irving's literary merits Is equally honorable to both panlss^ whBs
- • ^'" ■ 'ocaTheBmi ■

his genius haa ezperSenced a still more nnequlva
the countlees Imltationa to which he has given rise; ImHations
whose uniform fldlure, notwithstanding all the appHancea of ae*
oompllahment and talent prove their model to be Inimitable.''—
WUUAII H. Paisoorr: JT. Amer. Jtm., zxxv. I«1-1M, July, 18*1

It is only proper to remark that Mr. Prescott has no
reference, so far aa we are aware, to either of the eoai-
parisons cited above. They were ooUected by ouraelve^
in the course of desultory reading. Washington Irvinj^
indeed, can never be confounded with the host of bis imi-
tators, abroad or at home. Hia literary reputation resta
upon aure foundationa, — broad, deep, well settled, and
immutable. Aa regarda hU own oountiy,

"Other writers may no doubt artea In the course of tisae, who
wHl exhibit In verse or proea a mors commanding talent and aoar
a still kftler flight In the empyrean sky of gk>ry. Soaw westara
Homer, Bhakspeare, MUton, Oocnellle, or Caldsnn, may Icradiata
ear Uteraiy world with a flood of spleiidoar that shall throw all
other greatness into the shade. TbU, or sosaethlng like H, may ar
may not happen ; bnt even If It shonld. It can never he disrated
that the mUdaad beantlfn] genius of Mr. Irving was the Maewteg
Star that led up the march n'our heavenly host; and that he hM

James I., King of tScotlaad, 13*8-1437, the aeeond
son of King Robert IIL, was eaptnrad by aa Kaglish
aniiaar when on hia way to Fianea in 1406, and kept a
priaoner in England ontU 1433, when he asoended the
Bcottiah throne. He waa aaaaaainated by aome rebelliona
snbjecta at Perth in 1437. He employed hia impriaonment
to aueh good porposa as to become famous for hia emdition
and manifold aeeomplishments. Aa an author ha ia beat
known by The Kiag'a Qnhair, (Book,) oonaiating of 187
seren-lined atanaaa, and elioited by the charma of the
Lady Jane Beaufort, of the blood-royal of England, whom
he beheld in the garden from hia window in Windaor
Caatle. Need we add that the leatoratlon to freedom left
the royal wooer atiU a eaptire, and that the Lady Jane
became Qneea of Scotland t The other poema aaeribed to
him are Chriatia Kirk of the Grene; (alao attribntad to
Jamea V. ;) PeUis to the Play, (doubtful ;)f alkland on the
Orene, a Bong on Abfenea, and soma minor pieeea. The
Poetioal Bamaina of James L, edited by Wm. Tytler, were
pnb., Bdin., 1783, 8to. The Woiks of James L, eontain-
Ing the three poema noticed abore, with two others gene-
laUy ascribed to King Jamea V., — Tha Oaberiunsie Man,
and the Jollie Beggar, — were pub. at Perth, 1788, 12mo>
Tytler's edit is aecosed, by Ritson and others^ of many
errors. The poems of James will alao be found in Sib-
bald'a Chronicles of Scottish Poetry. It ia alleged that
yortiona of Tho Kiag'a Qnhair are auperior to any poetry
produced in England, with the exception of Chaucer'a,
Before the age of Eliaabeth. Indeed, Ellia says,

James, George Payne Ralasford, b. in London
about 1800, commenced bia literary career at an early age
by anonymous contribntiona to the joumala and reriewa
which catered to the literary taate of "a disoemtng pnb-
Uo." Some of these juvenile effusions fell under the
Botiee of Washington Irving, and this gentleman, with
his nsnal kindness of heart, encouraged the young author
to rentore upon something of a more important character
than the fugitive eaaays which had hitherto employed bis
pan. Thus strengthened in his literary proclivity, the
yoong aspirant nibned bis "gray-goose quill," commenced
sothor in earnest, and gave to the world in 1822 his first
work, — a Life of Edward the Black Prince. Mr. James
BOW tamed bia attentioa to a field wbieb bad reoeatly been
ealtivated with eminent anoceaa, — historical .romanoe, —
and completed in 1826 his novel of Richelieu, which,
having received the favourable verdict of Sir Walter Scott,
Bad* iu appearance in 1829. This was followed ia the
aezt year by Damley and De L'Orme.

Richeliett waa so fortunate as to saenr* the fhvoar of
the formidable Christopher North of Blackwood; but this
laTalnable commendatton was withheld fW>m Damley :

dtvine^ a native of Tistniry, Wiltshire, commenced preach-
ing whan between 16 and 16 years of age^ and liaforB he
wa* 21 had delivered nearly 1000- sermons. On the 31st
of Jan. 1791i he became the minister of Argyle Chapel,
BaUi, and remained in this situation until June, 1863, or for
■ix^-two years. In Jan. 1841,ontheeompletionofthe60th
jear of hia ministry, the jubilee waa celebrated by reU-
pons services in the chapel, and by a feast in the Assembly
Booms, where 820 persona sat down together to breakfast
A salver and £660 were presented to the object of this
gratifying token of respect To the volume pub. on this
oecasioa, — Jubilee Memorial, 1841, 12mo, — to Jay's Anto-
Uography, edited by Rev. Oeo. Bedford and Rev. J.

TeisatioBs, Ac, and to Pen-Pictures of Po|nilar English
Preaehera, 1862, 12mo, we refbr the reader for information
lespeeting this excellent divine. The best-known of Jay's
works are Morning and Svaning Sxersises, (vols. L-4v.,
1842, of the eoUeetive ed. of his Works;) The Christian
Contemplated, (vol. vl., 1843, of his Works;) Short Dia-
eonraes, (vols. x. and xil., 1844, of his Works ;) and Morn-
ings with Jesus, 1864, fp. 8vo. The collective ed. to which
we refer is in 12 vols. Svo, Bath, 1842-44, (N. Tork, 8 vols.
8vo,) and was corrected and revised by Uie author UmseU
To these 12 vols, must be added Lectures on Female Scrip-
tar* Obaraeters, 1864, er. Svo ; Mornings with Jeans, 1864,
if, Svo; Bvenings with Jesns; and Final Discourses at Ar-
gyle Cbapel, Batn, 1864, i^ 8vo. As a preaoher, as well as
an author, Mr. Jay has aeqnired great eetebrity. John Foster
ealls him the Prince of Preaehen; Sheridan s^led him
the most natural orator whom he had «ver heard ; Dr.
James Hamilton speaks of hearing him " with wonder aad
delight;" and Beckford describes his mind as "a dear,
transparent stream, flowing so fteely as to impress as with
the idea of its l>eing inexhaustible."

His sermons, too, — not always the case with the eflkl-
sions of popular preacher*, — will bear the dispassionate
Judgment of the closet without lessening the tepntatian
of tnair aathor.

credit of the entire originality of this famooa doonment,
the reader win be able to form an oj>inion after eonaoHlng
the worka of John Adama, of Thomaa Jeflerson, and the
biographies of theae distinguished statesmen and patriota.
See also an interesting artlde upon this topic in Oeorgo
Tieknor Ourtis'a History of the Constitntlon of the United
States, Tol, L, 18M, pp. 81-SS. It is neither our (mainssa
nor our pleaaure to ai4]ndieate on qneatlona of state-paper
history or political partisanship in a rolnme of this cha-
racter, but we may be allowed to say that Jeflerson'a claim
to the aothorship of the Declaration of Independence
seems as fully substantiated as the natora of the case will
possibly allow. From 1779 to "SI Mr. Jefferson was
Goreraor of his natire State; in 1783 waa again eleetad a
member of Congress; from 1784 to '89 resided at Paris,
succeeding Franklin in 1786 aa miniatar fVom the United
Statea; in 1789 he was appointed by General Washington
Seoretaiy of Slate, which office he held until 1793 ; was
Vice-President of the United States 1797-1801, and Prsai-
dent of the Republie 1861-99. Mr. Jefferson had now
reached aa age whea the dntlea of pablie hte were iw
longer inriUng, and he poaaed hia remainiag years at
Montioello, dividing his time between his plantation, his
library, ahd the entertainment of the maoy Tisitora at-
tracted to bis manrion by his widdy-extended repatatigB
at home and abroad. He died on Qie aanm day aa that
which closed the earthly existence of Jdin Adams, — the
4th of July, 1826.

As an aathor, Mr. Jefferaon is best known by his Kotas
on the State of Virginia, (originally drawn np for H. Do
Marbois,) of which 200 copies were prirately printed at
Paris in 1784, (but dated 1782,) Sro. A French tranala.

author, appeared- at Paris in 1784, Sto, and aa adit of

Professor Cteorge Tucker, Phila. and Lon., ISST, 2 vols.
8to; by Wm. Linn, Ithaca, N. Y., 1884, I2mo,- by B. L.

Remarks ia his lAh of Jefferson ; The Youth of Jefferson,
a Chronicle of Cellega Scrapes at Williamsburg, in Vir-
ginia, 18ii, 12mo. U is worthy of observation that Jeffer-
son's Manual of Parliamentary Praotioe (trans, into French
by L. A. Piehon, Paris, 1814, 8vo) is atill in use, and de-
ferred to as an authority at Washington and elsewhere,
and an edit has been pub. within tbe last three or four
years. It is incorporated in Sutherland's excellent Con-
gressional Manual, of whieh tbe 2d edit appeared in 1846,
Phila., 18mo. It may be expected that we should not
conclude a notice, however hasty and imperfect, of the
writings of Thomas Jefferson, without cautioning the
nadar against the pamieioos inllnsnee of those portions
of his lucubrations which assail the divine aalfaority of
the Scriptures. Bat, indeed, it is hardly concsirabia that
any intelligent and candid mind tfonld be perverted by
tbe amdities and self-contradictory sophisms which dis-
tingaish the theologioal speculations of the "Sage of
Honticello." The effect produced on our own mind —
when as yet very yoong and inexperienced in the inoon-
sistensies of mental physiology — by the pamsal of a por-
tion of Jeflbrson's famous letters to WUliam Short was
that of astonishment that a mind apparently so inert and
obtoae in metafAysics conld evince vigour and acuteness
in political philosophy. That remarkable exhibition of
tkeohffia dogmatical Jefferson's Plutarohian contrast be-
tween his own creed and that of the Founder of Christi-
anity, would amuse us by its egotism, did it not shock ns
by its irreverenaa. But, with whatever mortillcation a spec-
tacle so homilialing may be regarded by the infidel, Chrii-
iiaaity ha* nothing to fear even from mndi more formidable
opposition.

From an historieal sketch of the public life of Jefferson,
by an aadnant orator, still (1857) in the vigoroos exerciia
of hia ramaAable faculties at the ripe age of almost fonr-
soore, we extract a tKW lines which will be accepted is
Whola, or wi^ more or less reservation, as the political
Jadgment of our readers may incline.

"After Waahlngton and Tranklln, there la no parson wiio fills so
smfaient a place among the gnat men of America as Jeflbraon.

■arrieea were ae seldom called into reqairition that he
declared, go lata aa 1803, he had never yet made £1011 in
any one year by hia profesaion. At the SpeculatiTe Bo-

of young men of decided abilitiea, and, iike himaelf,
aazioua ^apiranta after fhme and fortune; and with two
of these — Sydney Smith and Henry Brougham — ^be formed
a literary intimacy which resulted in the eatabliahment of
the Sdinbnrgh Review, originated by Smith, but confided
to the editorial care of Jetfny after the publication of the
firrt three numbers. Thia responsible poat was held by
Jeffrey from July, 1803, to June, 1820, when he withdrew
from the chair of the critic to occupy the poet of Dean of
the Faculty of Advooatea, an ofllce of -distinction at the
Beottiafa Bar. In 1830, Mr. Jel&ey waa appointed Lord-
Advocate; in February, 1831, he took hia seat in Farlia-
menty where he continued for more than three yeara, and
in 1834 ancoeeded Lord Craigie in Ibe Court of Sesaion, —
which poaition gave him the honorary title of Lord Jeffrey.
He ao demeaned himaelf in hia high ofEce aa to aeoure the
favour of all claaaea with whom he waa brought into con-

We should not omit to state that in 1820 JeflVey was
deoted Lord-Kector of the University of Olasgow, a gtmte-
fbl tribute from his Alma Mater.

Of the peraonal appearance of Lord Jeffrey we have the
fallowing portrait :

'^In person the sohject at our memoir was of low staturs; but

ftoe was rather elongated, the chin deAdent, the mouth weU turned,
with a mingled expression of determination, sentiment, and mock-

It was in I81S that Jeffrey "set up hia raatic honse-
bold-gods" at Oraigerook, near Edinburgh, where he oon-
ttnoed to pass hia aummera until the year of his death.
There-be entertained his numerous guests in a manner of
which Lord Cookbilm hat given ua a grapUo picture :

"Ho unoBdal honae In Scotland," says his Lordship, "has had a

Lord Jeffrey was married twice,— first, is 1804, to Cathe-
rine, daughter of the Bar. Dr. Wilson, of 8L Andrew's;
•nd secondly, in . 1813, to Charlotte, daughter of Charie*
Wilkes, of New Tork, and graad-nleee of tbe celebrated
John Wilkes, of London.

The history of the Edinburgh Review Is one of the most
Interesting fgn in the annala of Bngliah Literature; and
ample details reapeoting this periodical, and its inlluenoe
apon letters, will be found in the authorities quoted Aom
or referred to la this article, and in other woAs familiar
to many of oar readan. It was snocesaAil (k-om the oom-
menoemeot; and in the apaoe of alz years the oirenlation
liadinorsasedSrom 760 to about 9000. In 1813 the num-
ber of aaeh copy printed was 12,009 to 13,000. The radl-
ati ekangas both in opinion and atatntes introdneed by its
inffnenoe, at an eariy or later day, were remarkable in-
deed:

Bnt the "Edinburgh Review" hat "kept its ground;''
and many of ita brilliant papera are, and alwaya will be,
read twenty tlmea where Madoe, or any other work of
BoQthey's, ia or will be read once.

Lord JtHnj't contribntions to the Sdinborgb Beview
extend over a period of almost half a eentary, — the flrat,
(the flrat article in the flrat No., to which he eontribnted
Ave papera,) Mounier aur la Revolution de Franee, —
bearing date October, 1802, and the last — Watt or Caven-
dish ?— given to the world January, 1848. The 9Sth No.,
pnb. June, 1820, waa the last he editedj and the review
of the Hemoira of Lady Fansfaawe, which appeared in
October, 1829, waa the laat article he fumiabed aa a regu-
lar eqntrlbntor. Hia only papera after thia date were
Kaval Taetiea, April, 1830; Hemoira of Sir J. Mackintosh,
October, 183A; Wilberforce'a Correapondenee, October,
1840; Watt or CavendiBh? January, 1848. A list of hia
articles — 200 in all — will be found in the Appendix to
Lord Coekbom'a Life of the Author. Hia biographer, and
other frienda, had often urged him, but in rain, to de-
iignate hia articles; but at last, in December, 1840, Lord
Coekbum found him in a yielding mood, and number
after number of the Review waa brought under examina-
tion, until the whole had been subjected to a rigid aeru-
tiny. The reiulta we have already stated. In 1843, he
eonaented, at the request of the publiahera of the Review,
to make a aelection from his contribationa for the purpose
of republicalion, and in thia year appeared Contribntiona
to the Edinbnrgh Review, by Francis JelTrey, 4 vola. Svo,
£2 8«.; 2d edit., 1846, 3 vols. 8ra, £2 2>.; 8d ad., 1653, 1
vol. 8va, pp. lOOi, £1 Is., with a general Index.

The eontenta of these edita. are the aame. Of the 190
articlea whioh had been contributed to the Review, (the
200th waa pub. in Jan. 1848,) we have in thia eolieotion
only 79, which are thua claasiSed: — I. Oeneral Literature
and Literary Biography, 10 articlea; II. Hiatory and Hn-
torical Hemoira, 10 articles; III. Poetry, 32 articles;
rV. Philoiophy of the Hind, Uetapbyaica, and Juriapru-
denoe, 8 articlea; V. Novels, Tales, and Proae Worka of
Fiction, 8 articlea; YI. Oeneral Politica, 6 articlea; VII.
Miacellaniea, 1? articles. At the cloaa of the eoUection are
added Notice of the Honourable Henry Eiahiae, fK>m The
Edinbnrgh Conrant, OcL 18, 1817; Notice and Charaoter
of Profeaaor Playfair, from an Edinburgh paper of Aug.
1819; Notice and Character of Jamea Watt, from the
Beotaman, Bept. 4, 1819. It ia proper to atate that the
article entitled BiAurr, contributed by Jefirey to the
Supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannioa in 1824, (bat
prepared. Lord Coekbum aaya, in 1816,) ia an anlarga-
ment of hia review of Alison'a Natore and Principlea of
Taata, pab. in the Edinburgh Review, Hay, 1811. In
JeArey'a collected ContriBntionat»th» Edinburgh Review,
the article Beauty appears in ita complete form aa pub.
in the Knoyelopadia Britannioa. We ^note two rather
antagoniatlo opiniona upon tliia eeaay :

"Of all the treatlees that have been pnbliahad on the theory of
Ma, it la the meat oompMe ia its phUoaophy awl the moat d»
Ugbttal in Ita writtea; and it is aa sound as the snbiect sdmlta c£*

or more loose In the arraagemetit and argument.'* — iMeJft Jgo-

There are atOl 121 of Jeffirey's oontribntiona to the Edin*
burgh Review uncollected. Thia (hould be so no longer.
Thoae anbjeota of hia eritieiam who wonld have Iwen
aggrieved by the republication of the atrietnrea of the re-
viewer have almoat all paased away, and, if their reputa-
tion ia ao frail aa to be alTected by a little good-humoured
ridicule, it ia not worth preservation.

anthora of many of the artlelea in the Edinburgh Review
will be found in the London Gentlemac'a Hagaiine for

We have already intimated that the formidable eritio
waa a most agreeable oompanion, — that the Jion of the Re-
view waa the lamb of the dinner-table and evening cirele.
»Sometimea, however, even Je&rey'a politeneaa waa not
proof against boredom. There waa "a time with him
when patience eeaaed to be a virtue." Of one of theae in-
atnneea of human frailty we have an amtuing account by
Lady Holland :

"The reigning bora at this time in Edinbnrgh was ; his

Cavooxite snt^Ject, the North Pole. It matternl not bow thr south
you began, you found yonieelf transported to the North Pole be-
fore yon eoold take breath. No one escaped him. My lather de.
dared he shoold Invent a slip button. Jeffrey fled fhnn him aa
from the plague, when poaaible; but one day his arch-tormentor met
him In a narrow lane, and began instantly on the North Pole.
JeOkey, in despair, and out of all patlcnoe, darted past him, ex-
claiming, 'Hang the North Pole!' My father mat him shortly
altar, botUng with indignation at Jetbey's contempt of the North
Pole. 'Oh, my dear iailow,' said my Uher, 'never mind; no one
mlnda what Jeiftvy says, yon know; he is ft privileged penon; he
reepecta nothing, ahaolntely nothing. Why, you wUl scarcely be-
lieve it, bnt It ia not mote than a week ago that I heard him speak

Whatever he has met with it, he looks upon it with the eye of con-

" Such being the nature of true Poets and true poetry, and such

dur, by saying that all the FoeU of this Age an foigottenr [See
KUn. Ber., No. 95.] There are few people whom we lore aad a^
mire more than Mr. Jeffrey, — though we believe he does aot know
It; bdt why will he, in his elegnnt and graceful way, speak such
nonsense r Scott, Byron, Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Moore,
are, he assures us, already all forgotten— or nearly so,— fading
away, — mere specks on the distant horizon df men's clouded memo-

•tars are forgotten, because thousands of coochlkils of people, ooming
and going to and from evening parties, are not at the time aware
that the neavens are fhll of them, that shepherds are watching by
them on the hills, and sallran sailing by them on the seas, and
astronoraers counting them in observatories and occasionally dis-
coreiing one that had been invisible to the moleeyes of men since
the creation. Tet In all the nonsense Mr. Jeffrey ever spoke, or may
speak, you always may And some grains of sense: for who doubts
Us sagacity and his geniosf Not one of our great or good living
Poeta is forgotten at this hoar by Mr. Jeffrey himself, nor any of
those ciltiquea of his own, either. In which lie did poble Justice to
■oma ef them and Ignoble li\justlee to others, aooonling to tlie
timnslettt or permanent moods by which his taste, fiseltng, and Judg-
nant were swayed. Nor are his critiques themselves likely to be
tacotten,— soon or ever; (ormanyofthem belong, we verily believe,
to our philoeophlcal llteratnnL But they hold ttia tenure of their
«»<st>nc« by the existenoe of the poetry which they sought to Qlna-
tnte or obscure : from the 'golden urns of those Beets' did he * draw
UghV— the llf^t in which he Is himself consplcnoas; and, were it
astlllKnished, his literary life would be a blank." — Pionssoa WUr

"Our very ideas of what is poetry," says Sir Walter 8c»tt of
Jeffrey, "diffor so widely, that we rarely talk upon theae subjects.
There u something in his mod* of reasoning that leads me greatly
to doubt whether, notwithstanding the vivacity of his imagiostion,
he raally has any fbeling of noelioal genioa, or whether he has
worn it all off by perpetually shanieiiing his wit on the grindstone
of eiiticlsm. ... I snouid he glad for his own sake that ha took
■oma opportonlty to rattao* the paths of his criticism ; but, after
pledging himself so deeply aa he has done, I donbt much his giving
way, even unto conviction."— Air nUter ar«tt to Joanna SaHlit,

" But, with my friend iiitnf* pardoa, I think he lovsa to see
imagination best when it Is bitted and managed, and ridden upon
the ymid pus. He does not make alknranoe for starts and aaUies
and bounds, when Pegasus is beantlfbl to behold, though sonie-
timrs perilous to his rider."— Aott'i XNory, Jan. 1, 1827 : «M npra.

waa a very remarkable man, but more so fhnn the light, aity turn
of his mind, and Hie MIctty of lllnstratlea which ha po*s«*seil, Ihsa
IhMa either originally of thought or nervoos force of axpnoiion.
His infarmation was tu f^om extensive; he shaied in the dsA-

Ignorant of Italian and Oemian; and his s<yinalntance vnth French
merature was chiefly oonflned to the goislping aaesnairs of the
day, and, with that of his own oonntxy, to the writings of the Sootdi
metaphysicians or the old English diamatista. Bat these sabjsda

he knew thoroughly ; within theee limits he was Ihoraagiily

ter. He was fitted by natare to be a great critic A jiasiiniistn
sdmlrer of poetry, sUve to all the beautieB and Influences of natan^
with a fbeling mind and a sensitive heart, he possessed at the aaaas

Jewel, or Jewell, John, D.D., 1&22-15.71, a native
of Devonshire, admitted of Morton Collage, Oxford, 1&S5,
waa in 1539 chosen scholar of Corpus Christi College, and
rabseqaantly Iweame Reader of Hnmanity and Rhetoric
ia hit oollage. In 1546 he proftased himself a oonrert to
the dootrines of the Reformation, and his seal in dissemi-
Bating his opinions led to his expnision fW>m his eollege.
On the aooession of Qneen Mary in 1554, he lied to tiie
CoDtiBant, aad remained abroad until the year after Blixa-

betb asoenaed the throne ; in 1660 be was consecrated
Bishop of Salisbury, and in 1562 gave to the world, in ele-
gant Latin, the most famous of his writings, — Apologia Be-
eleaisB Anglioante. His unwearied lalmurs in the discbarge
of the duties of bis episcopate, and bia nnremittlog devo-
tion to study, brought on a state of physical exhaustion,
which resulted fatally on the 22d of Sept. 1571, in- the
fiftieth year of his age. He was noted for his wonderftd
powers of memory, profound learning, and exemplary
piety. A ooUeetire edition of his works, which consist
principally of treatises in defence of the Church of England
against Romanism, was pnb. in 1609, fol. ; 1611, fol. ; 1631,
foL; 1711, fol. See edits, of separate publications in
Watt's Bibi. Brit There are two recent edits, of his ool-
leetad works, — vis. : edited for the Parker Society by the
Rev. John Ayre, Camb., 1845-50, 4 vols. sm. fol., £1 10a.;
edited by R. W. Jelf, D.D., Oxf., 1847-48, 8 vols. 8vo, £3
12a. Of his Apology, and other pieces pub.- separately,
there have twen many editions. His Challenge Sermon,
preached at Sl Paul's Cross, March 30, 1560, is considered
one of the liest specimens of his eloquence. See Life pre-
fixed to the octavo edit, of the Apology, 1685 ; reprinted
in Wordsworth's Ecclea. Biog. ; Bnmet'a Hist, of the Re-
formation; Holingshed's Chronicle; Biog. Brit; Bliss's

finally taken place. It waa publicly received and allowed, and haa

intended to disprove the doctrine of passive obedience to
the government. This work was (as we have already seen,
p. 841 of this Dictionary) answered by Dr, Qeorge Hickes,
in bis Jovian, 1673, Svo. But it was more elfectually an-
swered by the powers that be, for the sealous partisan was
sentenced to pay a fine of 500 marks, and was thrown into
prison until he should discharge it. Nothing daunted by
this, Johnson again took np his pen, and in 16S6, at the
instigation of JSngh Speke, a fellow-prisoner, drew np an
Address to the Protestants in the King's Army, (then an-
eamped on Hoonslow Heath,) urging them not to obey
illegally-commissioned officers.

The government thought otherwise : " Julian Johnson"
(for so he was now called) was sentenced to stand thrioe on
the pillory, and to br whipped from Newgate to Tyburn.
This barbarone sentence was carried into execution, and
three hundred and seventeen stripes ikiled to make the

etriot wince. Alter the Revolution, he was compensated
King William for his snlferings. At least he received
•'present of £1000, a pension of £300 a year for two lives,
and his son was taken into the public service.

Johnson, Saasnel, LL.D,, Sepk 18, 1709-Dec. 13,
1784, one of the most distingnished writers of any age or
country, Iras a native of Lichfield, where his father carried
on the business of a bookseller with more respectability
than profit. After a course of preparatory instruction in
Mr. Hunter's academy in his native town, and at Mr, West-
worth's school at Stourbridge, he was in his nineteenth
year (1728) entered of Pembroke College, Oxford, where
he remained for three years, retaming home without a
degree in 1731, In 1732, he became usher to a school in
Morkat-Bosworth, but found this appointment so diataste-
ftal that in a few months he threw it up, and removed to
Birmingham, where he found partial employment as con-
tributor to a newspaper pobllsbed by a Mr, Warren, a book-
seller of that phuw. It was for this gentleman that he
composed his first published work — an abridged translation
into English from the French of Father Lobo's Voyage
into Abyssinia. His reward for this performance was the
inconsiderable sum of five guineas- In 1736, he was mar-
ried to Mrs, Porter, the widow of a Lichfield trader, — a lady
of vulgar manners, loud voice, florid complexion, and nearly
double his age, and with eight hundred pounds sterling
in the funds. The newly-married pair thought that this
small fortune could not be better employed than in the
fitting np of on academy at Edlal, near Lichfield ; and ao-
cordingly the public was soon advised of tlW opening of
an institution which, fortunately for the causa of letters,
wSs destined soon to be dosed. Three pupils only — David
Qarrick and his brother being two — " thronged the doors"
of this respectable seminary. Disgusted with the indiffer-
ence or incredulity of his towqsmen, the dominie deter-
mined to try a better market for his talents and learning,
and in 1737, aocompanied by one of his popils, — ha who Id
after-years so long trod the stage witboat a peer,— 4e took
the highroad for I^mdon, and llrom that day beoame an
author by profession. Three years before this period — that
is, in 1734 — ^ha had nnsneeesafully sought an engagement
as contributor to The Gentleman's Magaiine ; but he was
now more fortanata in his efforts, and from March, 1788,
to 1754, was a regular coadjutor to honest Edward Cave,
in whose life in tlis Dictionary we have already referred
to this profitable connexion. At times, indeed, the. poor
scholar was reduced so low in his floanees as to be obliged
to live apon foorpence halfpenny per day, and then roam
the streets at night with Savage, or some othw brother in
misfortune, for want of a lodging.

In 1738, Johnson was employed npon a translation of
Father Paul Sarpi's History of the Conncil of Trent, whioh
was discontinued by Dodsley and Cava in eoBsequence of
a rival translation by another Samuel Johssoo, It was in
May of this year, 1738, that oar author gave to the world
London, a Poem, in imitation of the Third Satire of Jn-
venal ; a production which was ao immediately successful,
that, to quote the quaint language of a critic in the Gen-
tleman's Magaiioe, it became " remarkable for having got
to the second edition in the space of a week." It so hap-
pened that London appeared in the same day with Pope's
Satire of 1738, and the youthful author had no reason to
regret the coincidence, for people said, " Here is an un-
known poet greater even than Pope."

Pope set young Bichardsoa to work to And out who this
formidable rival was. Richardson reported that he had
discovered only that "his name was Johnson, and that he
was some obscure man." " He will soon be dftarrt," re-
plied Pope. This was not the only instance in whioh he
displayed a commendable generoeity to the rising star, for
flrom the perusal of London alone be recommended him to
Earl Gower when Johnson (in the next year) sought a degree
" to qualify him for the mastership of a ebarity-sohooL"

Of diis and of loiae Utar portion) of Johnson's life
we find flome notioes contributed by onrKlrea some yoftn
■inee to Pntnun'g lia^uino, (New York, April, 18M,) »nd
tram thua tkemormnda w« sfaul not heaitato to qoota whM
it snita oar purpose.

The linuluity between London and Pofie's satirieal vein
is Tsry ubeerrable. Tbe Vanity of Human Wiibas essays
a more di{;nified stnio. Sarriek aeooants for this in 'his
own faeetiooa manner:

" When Johnson llrad much with the Herreys, sad saw a good
deal of what wu puring in life, he wrote hia Loodoo, which ti

lively and easy; v'tien he tiecaiuo more retired, ho gave us his
Vanity of Iluoian Wiebcs, i^bich ia aa hard as Oreek: had he

fnne cm to imitate another aaitlro, it would liave been aa hard aa
lebrew."
And yet, flippant little Darid, thy old sehoolmaatar
wrote a hundred lines a day of this poem, if it is all Oreek
to thee. Hard as it was to thee, it softaaed a greater man
to tears, for Walter Scott tells us,

«The deep and pathetic monlity of Ifta VmHf ffHtman
WMa haa uftcn extracted teara from those whose eyea waadar irf
OTer pagea profeaaediy aentimental."

Ay, it drew tears from the eyes of the author himself!
Qeorge Lewis Scott describes a very interesting little family-
gathering at Tbrale's, when Dr. Johnson read aloud his
satire : whilst recounting the difficulties of tbe poor, strug-
gling scholar, be "burst into a passion of tears." Poor
fellow ! be remembered those dnys when he subscribed him-
self tm^ranaua. No longer subject to tbe pangs of hunger,
he now had all that heart could wish, — plenty, "honour,
love, obedience, troops of fHends ;" but his mind reverted
to those bitter days of penury when he wandered in the
streets for want of a lodging, and, in the garb of poverty,
devoured bis dinner, furnished by the hand of charity,
behind the curtain at good Mr. Cave's ! How had his con-
dition changed ! We need not marvel at those outpourings
of a grateful heart which gush forth in his qhiet hours
of maditatioD and solemn seasons of prayer. The great
Being on whose guidance and protection he bad confi-
dently relied in the day of destitution and hour of trial
had not disappointed his hopes. He had "brought him
to great honour, and comforted him on oVery side." This
he deeply felt, and, however at times arrogant and harsh
to his fellow-men, he over, as Bishop Horns well says,
"walked humbly before the Lord his Ood."

Johnson bad no little difficulty in finding a publisher
for London, but at last Dodsley ventured to purchase it
for the raagnifloent sum of ten guioeoa ! The author
speaks of this as no inconsiderable price for it:

"I might, perhaps," he aaya, "have accepted of less, bat that
Faal Whitehead had a Utile belbrv got ten guineas Ibr a poem, and
I wodM not take less than Paal Whitehead."

In 1744, the reputation of the younganthor was greatly
inocMsed by the publication of the Life of Richard Savage,
■ad this admirable biography was followed in 1746 by a
Plan of the Dictionary of the Bnglish Language; in 1749,
hf the rapcesenlation of the tragedy of Irene, and the
paUieation of The Vanity of Human Wishes; and in
17i0-63, by tha Issue of the Rambler. The Dictionary
waa given to tha world in 17S& ; the Idler dates fVom April
t, 1768, to April &, 17407 Rasselas was pub. in 17S9; the
edition of Shakspeare, with Notes, in 17«S ; The False
Alans in 1770 ; Thoughts oa the lata Transactions r«-
Mwoting Falkland Islands, 177 1 ; A Jonmey to ttie Western
Islands of Scotland, and The Patriot, in 1774; Taxation
no Tyranny, in 1776; and the Lives of the Knglish Poets,
his last prodnotton of any importonee, (and which he had
aomiaencad in 1777,) in 1779-8L The Poets in this
eolleetiOD eommenee with Cowley, and, with the exception
of Blaokmore, Watts, Pomf^et, and Yalden, were chosen
by tbe booksallera, whose original design wont no further
than the preparation of Biographical Prefaces to the selec-
tion of British poetry which they were about giving to
tha world. This meagre prqiect was happily enlarged by
the ikai and taste of the editor. Tbe lives of Savage,
Cowley, Hilton, Gray, Dryden, and Pope, are considered
tba beat in point of literary workmanship. The ed. of Tha
PoeU to whieb they ware originally prefixed, 1779-81, was
in to voU, am. 8to, price, £7 10a. A 2d ed. was pub. in
1790, in 76 vols. 12ma.

A ohronological and detailed list of Johnson's writings
— whioh we think it unnecessary to quote in this place —
will be found in tbe Appendix to Boswell's Life of John-
MB, — a work whieh has made the life of the great lexieo-
giapber so familUir to general readers, that some brevity
on our part nay well be excased. In 1762, a pension of
*S0«, conferred by Oeorge III., plaoed tbe author of the
Rambler in circumstances of comparative affluence, and
•nabled him to pass his tamaiiung days without being sub- i

Jeotad to that harassing literary dmdgary for whieb few
man were so ill qnalified, and still fewer woaM bar* aa
bravely endured. We mnst not forget to meativB, befers
leaving this division of our subject, that in 1766 Johnson
faoeived the degree of H.A. tVom the University of Oxford;
tha title of Doctor of Laws from Trinity OoUega, Bnblin,
in 1742; and the same compliment from Oxibrd in
1776.

(14th, in fact) March, 1762, 208 numbers in all, issned
•very Tuesday and Saturday, without the loss of a single
pabUeation-day. Weald that all authors who seek to
■dvanoe the interests of religion and morality were a*
oonanientioue as the author of The Rambler, in imploring
the aid of divine grace, " without whieh nothing is strong,
nothing ii holy.'* " Grant, I beseech thee," stipplicates
the piona writer, "that in this undertaking thy Holy Spirit
may not be withheld from me, but that 1 may promote tby
glory, and the salvation of myself and others." The Ram-
bler exoiled but little attention at first. Croker seems to
qmstion Payqe's assertion to Chalmers, that Richardson's
essay, No, 97, was the " only paper which had a prospar-
ons sale and wag popular." But the ladies will side with
Payne, when they discover by inspection what "No. 97"
ii abouL We shall not inform them, and indeed we strictly
forbid aay of oar female readers to tarn to this mysterious
paper. If in tbia Blae-Beard prohibition we meet with tbe
tame meaiure t^ obedienoe whieh wa> aoeorded to the
gentleman jnat named, we ought not to be surprised. The
good Doctor wai sorely pat to it to find a muae for hia
abild. He told Sir Joshua Reynolda,

"What must be dona, air, iciB be done. When I began publish-
ing that paper I was at a loss how to name it. 1 sat down at night
upon my bediiide, and reaoWed that I would not go to sleep tlU 1
had fixed its title. TfU BambUr seemed the beet that occurred,
and I took It."

The Doelor wrote the whole of the 208 papers, with the
•aoeptloD of foar billets in No. 10, by Miss Mulso, (aftec-
warda Mr*. Chapone;) No. 30, by Mrs. Catherine Talbot;
No. 97, by Riehaidson; and Nos. 44 and 100, by Eliiabeth
Carter. Of Johnson's 304, thirty only wore " worked up"
firom prwiooily-prepared materials. After a time, the
Bamblor gained the public ear; and, this secured, the
pnblie voice soon followed. Cave, the poblisher of the
paper, recaiTed a number of commendatory letters, newi-
papar-rertee appeared in Its praise, and James Elphinaton
(■ee p. Hi of this DietioDary) superintended an Edinburgh
edition, whiob followed the London issue. Richardson
wrote to Cave that Johnson was the only man who could
write them; whioh Cave admitted, but complained that,
good a* they were, ttiey were eery ilow lalt. Even cor-
palent Hrt. Rambler, who had never been snspeoted of
very exquisite literary sensibilities, was moved by these
eSusions of the " gnde man's," and rewarded his labours
with the very handsome speech, — " I thought very well
of yon before, but I did not imagine you tould hare
written aoy thing equal to tliis."

Notwithstanding the tardy sale at first, the aathor had.
the satisfaetiott of surviving ten editions In London alone.
Wo most not conceal the fact that some unreasonable
baings eomplained of the erudite dignity of the stylo,
and deelared that the author (a true "Yankee trick" it
wMid now be called) nsed the hard words In the Rambler
in order to render his Dictionary — of which the Pros-
paetos had bean issued a short time before — indispen-
sably necessary.

Edmund Burke, who, like most truly great men, ez-
••llad in wH and hnmour, said that Johnson's ladies — his
MUellas, Lorimas, Properantias, and Rbodoolias — were
aH "Johnsons in petKooats." This is much of a piece
witk Ooldsmitk's telling Johnson that if he were to com-
poaa a work In whioh litlle JUha had to converse, he
would make them all talk like ^reat tnkaUtl
-4n hia eontribntions to the Adventurer, the Doctor uses
Ike itilta 1«m ; he walks man, — perhaps ooeaaionally miu.

Tet mi^sstie diction was as natural to a man who thought
in rounded periods as was a di^ointed chaos of the parts
of speech to many of his eritios. Bo far from the elabo-
rate verbal architecture, anxiously built up and painfully
cemented, whieh the reader snpposed, the Ramblers were
written just «s they were wanted for the press; indeed, at
times the first half was in type before the remainder was
on paper.

Boswell relates an amusing anecdote relative to the
Italian edition of the Rambler :

<* A tbreign minister, of no very high talente, who had been in
the company for a considerable time, quite overlooked, happened
luckily to mention that be had read some of hie Rambler in
Italian, and admired it much. Thia pleased blm [Johnson] areatly.
He obeenred that the title had been translated II Oenk) Krtanta,
though I have been told it was rendered, more Indioronaly, 11
Ta^hbando; and, finding that thia minister gave such a proof of
hia taste, he waa all attentioa to him, and on the first remark
which he made, however aimple, exclaimed, ' The ambasaador 8a,vs
well ; hia Excellency obaervee ;' and then he expanded and enriched
the little that had been aaid in so strong a manner that It appeared
something of oooaequenoe. Thla wna axoeadingly entertaining to
the company who were present, and many a time afterwards It f u^
niahed a pleoaont topic of meniment. 'TAe ambaatador taf/t toM*
became a laughable term of applauao when no wei^ty matter had
been expreaaed."

It deserves to be noticed that the 110th nnmbar of the
Rambler (on Bepentanee) was the means of deeiding the
Rev. James Compton, of the English Benedictine Monks
st Paris, to leave that body and embrace the Protestent
faith. How many devotees of the Greek Church it would
have oonverted we have, unfortunately, no means of
knowing. Tet the author thought at one time that it
was about having the opportunity presented to it. Some-
how or other he heard that the Empress of Russia had
ordered a translation of the Rambler into the Russian
language :

" So," says the author, with a eomplaeent smils^ " I
shall 1m read on the hanks of the Wolga. Horace boasts
that bis ikme would extend as far as the banks of the
Rhone ; now, the Wolga is farther fh>m me than the Rhone
from Horace."

Whether this was the work of some wicked wag, or nol^
we eannot tell; but we believe that the Russian editioo
of the Rambler is even seareer than any " liber rarissi-
mns" whioh tentalises the "heiluo libromm" in the
"cboioe eatalognes of Thomas Thorpe."

We hare seen how greatly Ae Rambler was admired in
the ieleet oirales whieh gave law to the Republic of Let-
ters of that day. The Doctor fully endorsed all that was
said in praise of bis assays, and observed, not without
truth, of his Rambler, that he "had laboured to refine
our language to grammatioal purity, and to clear it f^om
eolloquial barbarisms, lioentioas idioms, and irregular
oomblnations, and that he has added to the elegance of
ite oonstmetion and the harmony of ite cadence.'

But it is not to lie supposed that the voice of admiratioa
was the only one to be heard :

" Ths Bambler," remarks a celebrated Utesaiy and feiUonaUe
lady of the day, *'ls certainly a strange misnomer; he always
plods In the beaten road of hia predeoeeaore, foUowhig the Bpeotap
tor (with the aame pace as a packborse wonid do a hunter) in tbo
style that Is proper to lengthen a paper. Tfaeee writen may, per>
haps, be of eervlce to the public, which la saying a great dool in
their favour. There are numbers of both sexee who never read
any thing but such prodnotiona, and cannot apare time fhjm doing
nothing to go through a alxpenny pamphlet. Su(± gentle readers
may be Improved by a moral hint which, though repeated over and
over firom generation to geoetatioa, they never beard In their fives.

them oplniona vary, and I rather believe the atyle of theee

compliment to the essaya of Johnson. Bee Hiak of Eu-
rope, 18iO-&2, chap. T.

In the whole conrae of our " Johnsonian readings" we
have met with nothing upon this subjeet wbioh pleased us
better, as a Incid ezpositibn of the truth upon this subject^
than the following remarks of a learned American di-
vine,— one of the most profound thinkers, and certuntj
one of the best writers, of the age:

" It hu been ssked, wUh emptaals, 'Who now reads the JZtniMa- r
And it is Indubitable that this book, which once exerted so mighty
an influence on the JBBgUah language and people, has given piece,
at least In genefal reeding, to works of bi inferior merit and in-
terest. The reason seems to be, thst its ohject is wellnigh eecom-
pushed. It commenced with a standard of morals and language
elerated fer aboro the preniling style of morals and of vnitbig. It
has derated both, and lias brought the Kngllsh language and no-
tions of morality to its mm inrf. Nor Is n wonderibl that men
should regard inth less interest a work which nam Is seen to ban
no Tcry eztnonilnary elention. It is a component part of Eng-
lish literature, haviag Jttti itself in the lan^age, the style, snd
the morals of the English people, and taken its place as airbite-
gral, almost nndistlngnlshed, part of the national principles of
writing and mondlty. The result is that, while the ten^^ts of the
Bambler may be diBhstaig themselves, unperceiTRl, to almost all
the endearments of the flrealde and Tirtnes of the community, the
book itself may be very Imperftctly known snd unfrequently pe-
rused. Johnson may be almost fbrgotten, except In praise ; but his
nighty power is yet sending ftirth a mQd InAnelice over lands and
seas, like the gentle morements of the dew and the sunbeam."—

To the same effect writea Bit Jamea Haekintosh :

" Some heaTtoeas and weariness must be Mt by most readers at
the pemaalaf essays on lift snd manners, written like the Ram-
bler; but. It ought never to be forgotten that the two most popular
WTlten of the eighteenth century, Addison and Johnson, were snch
efflcadons teachers of virtue that their wriUngs ma^ be numbered
among the causes which in an important degree have contributed
to preserve and to hnprove the morality of the British nation."—

"The publieatlan of the SatMtr, though not vasy

3. Da. JoBirsoN as a LEXicooBApan.

Before the appearance of Johnson's great work (ia
1755) the English were sadly In want of a good lexieoa
of their language. The one in use — not without oonaidar-
able merit— waa that of Nathan BaUey, which we hava
already noticed in our life of that indnstrioos philologisL
Eogliah soholara, therefore, had to endure la ailaaoa th«
aarcasm of the AVbi le Blanc, who deelaiad that (oeh
was the paaaion for the Engliab tongue that the Fieaeh
had made it one of the learned langnagea, and that aven
their women atodied it, and yet tiiat there waa not aa
much as a good dictionary, or, rather, a toletabto gram-
mar. We shall not be expeotod, in the limited apace to
which we are confined, to enter into any conaidarmtioa of
the philological dispute of the day raspecting the com-
parative marito of U>e dictionariea of Johnaon, Webatar.

eonsidend h inititating any comiNiriaon between John-
son's Dictionaiy and the two which have only recently, in
their perfected shape, heen submitted to the public eye.

The Doetor, with his usual forasight, had adopted an
•zoelleat mode of disoonraging all adrerse critieisai, by
admitting in his admirable preface that "a ftw wild blon-
ders and risible absarditiea might for a time fhmisb folly
with laughter and harden ignorance into contempt"
Kow, as ao reviewer is particnUrly desirous of being con-
sidered either a fool or an ignoiamns, we may well sup-
pose that the JelTreys of the day were contented to praise
where they could and to be silent where they disapproved.
Ve may remark, In this connexion, that it seems hardly
worth while for us to repeat the old and well-known story
of Johnson's impertinent and unjust letter to the Barl
of Chesterfleld. It Is not to be forgotten, however, that
the Earl's suggestions upon Uie prospectus were all
adopted by the author.

The Monthly Review for April, llbi, was enlarged
"four pages extraordinary," and even then the nsnal
catalogue of new books omitted, to make room for a co-
pious notice of the Dictionary, in which some imperfec-
tions are rather hinted at than enumerated. Thomas War-
ton, in a letter to his brother, after admitting that " the
preface was noble, and the history of the language pretty
fhll," oomplains that "strokes of laxity and indolence
were plainly to be perceived." " Laxity and indolence"
there will always be in the works of man; but vigour and
industry there were also, else the Dictionary had sever
■een the light la oar life of Wm. Adams, D.D., p. S7
of this Dictionary, we have quoted some remarks of
Johnson upon this theme, to which the reader is referred.
The book sold well, for a second edition was pub. witliin
a year. This was a great triumph for the author, who
declared that, of all his acquaintances, there were only
two who, upon the publication of the work, did not en-
deavonr to depress him with threats of censure trom the
public, or with o6^eel»ofis Uanud from thote vho learned
tkem from ku otea pre/uee.

The Doctor displayed no little ingenuity in the prelimi-
nary arrangement of his matMeL Bishop Percy tells us :

" Bcaweli's soooont of the manner !n which Johnson compiled
his Dictionary Is conflued and erroneous. He began his task (as
he himself ezpnesly described to ne) by d<<Totlng bis first can to
a diligent perusal of all such English writers as were most correct
hi their language, and under every sentence which he meant to
qoote^ he dsew a line, and noted in the margin the first letter of the
word under wlllch it was to occur. He then delivered theee books
to his defks, wlw transcribed each sentence on a aepafate slip of
paper, and arranged the same under the word lefaiied to. By these
means he collected the several words and their dinetent significa-
tions ; and wtian the whole anangement was alphataeticaUy fonned
he gave the datnltlons of their meanings, and colleetad their rty-
midoglea ihnn Skinner, Junius, and other writers on the subject."

Andrew Millar's exoiamation of delight at the reception
of the last sheet was less reverent than Johnson's pious
r^oindar. We do not wonder at Millar's impatience. The
" three years" stipulated for the undertaking proved to be
more than seven, and the eopyright-money (£1675) had
long been in the bands of the lexicographer : we say the
lumdt, — for little went into his pocket, after satisfying the
demands of his six amanuenses and discharging other ex-
IWDset incurred in the proseontion of the work.

Bat we promised a few quotations respecting the Dio-
tionaiy, and it is quite time they were l>efore uie reader.
In the same year (17SS) of the appearance of the review
of Johnson's Dictionary in the Monthly Keview, another,
by Dr. Adam Smith, the political economist, wai pub. in
the (old) Edinburgh Saview. Bir James Mackintosh tells
w that

'*This review of Johnson's Dictionary is chiefly valuable as a
proof that neither of these eminent persons was well qualified to
write an Bn^ish dictionary. The plan of Johnson and the spect-
Bens of amith are alike fiuilty. At that period, indeed, netther the
oaltlvatlon of our old literature, nor tlie study of the Innguagea
from which the &iglish springs or to which it is related, nor the
habit of obeerring the general structure of language, was so flu
advanced ss to render it possible fbr this great work to approach
perfection."— AVoce lo a Bairint in 1816 of the SOnbunh iUtriat
«^1766.

" His Dlctlonaiy, though distlngalshed nsithor by the philosophy
nor by the emditkm which illustrate the origin and nistoiy of
words, is a noble numument of his powers and his literary know-
ledge, and even of his industry, thongh it betrays fkequent symp-
Soms of that eoastltotlonal indolenoe which must so often have
overpowered him in so immnnse a labour." — Mtddntoth't H/k,

expression. With this view it would have been necessary to exhibit
the nice distinctions which take place between words neariv syno*
nymous, and without which many words can only be defined In such
a manner that they most be considered as exactly synonymous.
We omit making qootations from Johnson In ormr to point out
these defects ; ai^ shall content ourselves with giving a frw ex-

" Hod Johnson left nothing but his Dictionary, one mia^t have
traeed then a gnat intellect, a genuine man. Looking to Its dear*
nees of definition, Its genersi solidity, honeety, insight and suoccea-
fhl method, it may he called the best of all Dictionaries. These is
in it a Idnd of architectural nobleness ; It stands then like a great
solid squar»buUt edifice, finished, symmetrically complete: yon

''Of tlie Praiaces to his own or other men's works, it is not necea-
sary to speak in detail. The most smbitions Is tliat to the Dic-
tionary, which is powertnily written, but promises more than it
peribrms, when it professes to give a history of the English lan-
cnage ; far it does very little mon than give a series of passages
man the writings in ue Angi»8axon and English tongues of dif-
ferent sges. The DictionaryTtseit; with aU its &U1U, still keeps its
ground, and has had no Huoceesor that conld supplant it This is
owing to the admirable plan of giving passages from the writcn
dted as authorities fbr each word, and this part of the design is
very well executed. Hence the book becomes almcet ss entertaining
to reed as nseftil to consult. The mon difficult task of definition
has been less hj^jpDy perfarmed ; but fkr better than the etymolo-
gical part which neither shows prolbnnd knowledge nor makee a
snccessfni application of it The compUer apncttn to have satislled
himself with one or two anthorltiee, and nmher to have chosen
them well nor consulted them with discrimination. Of any at-

There have heen many edits, of Johnson's Dictionary,
bat we do not think it worth while to notice any save the
best, that of the Kev. H. J. Todd, Lon., 1818, in 11 Pts.,

4. Dr. JoHlfBOH A8 A CRITIC.

A comprehensive view of Dr. Johoaon's eritieal writing*
would of coarse include many of his nnmerona contribu-
tions to the Qentleman's Hagatine, the Universal Visitor,
The Literary Magaiine or Universal Review, The Poetical
Calendar, The London Chronicle, The Critical Review, Aa;
but these articles are almost all of them unknown to tha
general reader, and of many the evidence of authorship is
by no means nnqneationabie. When reference is made to
the critical writings of Johnson, it is understood that the
Preface and Notes to Shakspeare^ and the Lives of the
British Poets, are in the mind of the speaker. To eaoh of
these works, therefore, we mast devote a few lines. W«
say " a few lines ;" and, indeed, did our space permit, we
have little disposition to dwell upon Dr. Johnson as a oom-
mentalor npon Sbakspeare. We will fight manfully for
tbe Preface, but after that the point of our lance acknow-
ledges tha Inflaence of the attraction of gravitation, and
bends earthward. Francis Douce, one of the most erudtta
of literary antiquaries, thus despatches the critical doctor
in a few words, much to the purpose;

''The indefrtigable exertions of MeBBi«.8teevens,Ma]one,Tyrw1iitt,
and Hason, will ever be dniy appreciated by the true and scalcaia
admirer of Shakspoare's pages. If the name of a celebrated critio
and moralist Iw not Incliided on this occasion, it is because ho was
certainly imskfUed in the knowledge of obeoiete cnstoms and ex-
pressione. His explanatory notes, therefon, an, generally ^wak-
ing, the most controvertible of any; but no ftatun editor will dla-
cluuge his doty to the pnbilc, who sbaii omit a single sentence of
this writer's mssteriy prefsoe, or of his sound and tsstefol charao-
ten of the text of ghakspean."

Again:

" No disparagement is meant to the memory or talents of one of
the greatest of men, when a protest is entered against the text of
Dr. Johnson."

We well remember onr astonishment at Johnson's criti-
eism npon Protans's speech in the Two Gentlemen of
Verona, wb«i« be charges Sbakspeare with a blander in
making the enamonred yonng gallant say,

"TIs but her pictun I have yet bddd,
And that hath daxsled my rnson's light"

"Why," says the Doctor, "he had an interview with
Silvia, and yet talks of having only seen her picture I"
The literal eommentator did not make sufficient allowance
for the rhetoric of lovers. That there should be much
vnliukble matter, and many aeiuible obseirations, contained

in raeK a body of notM by neb a writer, is ft matter of
ooarse. Tbe errors and misconceptions which prore the
eritio's unfitoeas for his Usk afford another proof of what
eren wise men often forget* — that no amount of genias, no
•stent of general knowledge, will qualify an author for a

extieulu- field without particulnr preparation. The
ontUy Review (vol. xzxili., 1765) derotes Qo'Iess than
thirty pages to a notice (by no means complimentary) of
Johnson's Shakspeare, and to this article, fVom which we
had intended to quotey we must refer the reader. Johnson's
edit of Shakspeare appeared in 1765, 8 vols. 8ro. His
principal predecessors as commentators on the great poet
were: 1. Rymer, 1678; 2. Dennis, 1693; 3. Oildon, 1694;
4. Pope, 1795; 6. Theobald, 1726; 6. Peck, 1740; 7. Sir
Thomas Hanraer, 1746; 8. Grey, 1746; 9. Warburton, 1747;
10. Upton, 1746; 11. Whalloy. 1748; 12. Edwards, 1748;
13. Holt, 174S; 14. Charlotte Lennox, 1753-54; 15. Cooper,
1755; 16. Howard, 1756; 17. Capell, 1759 ; 18. Heath, 1765.
Before we leave this period — the date of the publieatioii
of Johnson's Shakspeare — we must refer the reader to tbe
fieree attack of Konrick (Goldsmith's malignant foe) upon
the new editor, pub. In tbe Monthly Review for December,
1765. Warburton's savage assault upon Johnson, in re-
venge for bis temerity in modestly qnestioning some of
that commentator's critical canons or annotntions, is
exactly what might have been expected from that amiable
and oonrteous (I) prelate. See Letters from a late eminent
Prelate to one of his Friends, (Bishop Hurd,) 1808, pp.
J72-?73.

But it is quite time that we had tamed onr attention to
the opinions of critics of a more modern period:

" Tho Pro&ce to his Shakspeare, certainly. Is far superior to his
other introductory dlsooursee, both fuller of matter and more ela-
borate. Uia remarks on the great dramatist are, generally speak-
ing, aoand and judicious ; many of them may even, on a ni^ect
■aflciently hacKneyed, be deemed original. The botdneea with
which his many critical omectlons were offered deserres not the
less praise that Shakspeare*! nnmberleM and gross &nlts are easy
to disoem ; because, m preeence of the multitude, we might say
even of the JSnglUh nation at large, their obvious nature and con-
siderable magnitude has never made them Tcry safe to dwrll upon.
. . . The Pre&ce Is more to be oommendod than tbe work itself.

** Johnson compares him who should endearonr to recommend
this poet by panagee unconnpctodlT torn from his works, to the
pe^mt In tueroclee who exhibited a brick as a sample of his hoase.
And yet bow little, and how renr nnsathbctorfly, does he hhnself
speak of the pieces oonsklerea as a whole I Let any man, Ibr
instance, bring t<^ether the short characters which he givea at the
dose of each play, and see if the aggregate will amount to that
sum of admiration which he himself, at his outset, has stated as the
correct standard fin- the appreciation of the poet." — A. W. Scfdegd't
Xecev. on i>raiiMt.^rC. and lA., Black's Trans., Lou., 1846, SflO. See
also pp. 305, 390.

" Joaneon's Prebce is doubtless a great and masterty perform-
ance, evincing a mind of large general powers, and is executed
throughout with uncommon dignity and effect. There are thoee
who devate it to the skies ; but there is also a considerable number
o{ wellHread Sbaksperlans who are Gtr flrom bowing with nnqoalifled
■nbmlsslon to the critical canons which it contains. . . . Johnson's
critical snmaiary of the preponderating merits and demerits of
each play should be always a concomitant of every edition of Shafc-
fepeare."— i>iMtVi Lib. Oomp,, ed. 1825, 805.

** Johnson explained much well, but there is something magfsto-
rial in the manner wherein he dlsmlseee each [jay like a boy's
exerdae, that Irritates the reader. His criticism Is fimiuently ju-
dicious, but betrays no ardent admiration fbr Shakipeare."— Hal-
Lim: ZiC. Hut. (/ Atrope, 4th ed., 1854, iii- M.

No portion of Johnson's writings has been so warmly
praised, and so severely censured, as the Lives of tbe
flngUsfa Poets. Sir Kgerton Brydges, in the Prefaoe to his
edit of Phillips's Theutrum Poetarum Anglieanorum,
eomplains lamentably of the false taste of tbe age which
considered the poetical school of Pope the highest in the
Republic of Letters :

" Dr. Johnson.** he continues, " whose Lives of the Poets are ex-
tremely valuable, Tcom the knowledge of life they display, fVvm
their morality, and from that acnteness ot inveeti^Bition and vlgn:
vi expression which his astonishing powers of intellect threw on
every subject In which he engaged, has ynt contributed to aatbc«tee
this d^raded taste. For candor ought to confem that a feeling
for the higher kinds of poetry was not among his exoellencies. Is
it possible for those to doubt it who recollect the opinion he has
expressed of BUlton's Lyddas^^and of tho Odes of QrayT Who re-
lAember that he has scarce mentioned the Fables of Dryden, and
that he has hardW conferred eTen a cold extorted praise on the Ode
to the Fasskms, by C9t411ns? Who must admit, that, among the
modern poets who have pretensions to exceUenoe in that art, there
are but two^ exomt his fibvorite Pope, to whose pwtlta be has done
any tolerable jusooeT Theee sr* Thomstw and Young: of whom
ha has moken, of one with noble and discriminative praise ; and
tbe poetical character of tho other he has celebrated with a warm
and hi4>'py splendor of eloquence, which h perhaps the finest pas-
sage in all the efforts of his pen/* — xli., et infra^ and IvlL

** Wheranrw underatinding alone la flPoAdent for poetical cvftldsm,
the dedsiotts of Johnson are generally right. But the beauties of
poetry must be fdt before thor causes are fnvMtigatM. There is
a poetical Benslbllft7, which tn the piugrees of the mind becomes
as distinct a power as a musical far or a plctureaqne eve. Wltboot
a oonaideiable degree of this sensibility, it is as vain for a man of
the greatest underetaodlng to iq;)eak <rf the higher beauties of
poetn^, as It is for-a blind man to speak of colonrak To adopt tlw
warmest sentiments of poetry, to realise Its boldest tanagety, to
yield to every impulse or enthusiasm, to submit to the illusions of
iuicy,toreClrewlth the poet Into Us ideal worMs, were dispoaitloBS
wbc^y fonigu from the worldly ssocdty and stem ahvew^iiess of
Johnson. As In his judgment of Iw and character, so in his ciilt
cism on poetry, he was a sort cA Freethinker. Oe snraected tlis
refined of affectation, he rejected the enthusiastic as U)sunl, and
he took it for granted that the mysterious was nnlntelligfble. He
came Into Un worid when the school of Dryden and Ftope gave the
law to £n^ish poefciy. In that school he had hlmaeif learned to
be a lofty and Tigorous declaims In harmonious renw; beTond
that school his unforced admiration perhaps scarcely soared : and
hbi highest effort of criticism was accordingly the noble paDegytfe
on Dryden. His criticism owed its popularity as much to its dnects
as to its excellencies. It was on a level with the m^jori^ of rsaders,
— -puaons of good sense and InfonnatloD. but of no exqnisftte snu^
bluty, — and to their minds It derived a fiilse appearance of solidi^
from the very namowneen which excluded those grander efforts of
Imagination to which Aristotle and Bacon conflnrd tbe name of
poetry."— &n J amis MAOZUrao^: ikmoini^kiaI4fkandWritim§9,

" Johnson seems to have omic^ved, Uke Miltoa, a theory that good

"The third period [la the pmgress of aoglish style] swy be
called ths Xhetorical, and is dutiBgnlshsd by the pmalenoe of a
school of writers of which Johnson was the founder. Ths faad»-
mental character of this styls is that it employs undisguised art
where classical writers appear only to obey Uu impulse of a cnltt
Tated and adorned nature. . . .

''As the mind of Johnson wss robust, but neither nimble nor
gnoeftal, so his style, thougji sometimes signlflcant, nervous, and
ann msjestie, was void of ail grace and ease; snd, being the most
nnllke of all styles to the natural effnsloo of a coltivated mind,
iwd the least prstenakws to the pralee of eloqoence. During the
period, now near a cloee, in which he wss a ikvonrlte modd, a stflf

"What most distinguishes Sr. Johnson from other wrilan Is

niatad by Miaa Bumey :

"When In thatpntenet^ says the Iktr narrator, "he was nnob-

Bet with Dr. Johnson, he oommouly forbore even answering any
thing that waa said, or attending to any Uilng that went forwan^
leet He should misa the smallest sound from that voice to which he
paid soch exchulve though merited homage. But the moment that
voice bnrat Ibrth, the etTect which it excited on Mr. Boeweb
WBoanted elatoet to paJn. Hia eyee gaggled with eegemeaa; he

dropped open to catoh every syllafale that might be ntterad; nay,
ha aeeaaed not osijy to dread loaing a word, bnt to be anxkma not

breathlni

Tb* great BMn wu not so mnch eonoiliated by this ez-
tnordinaiy deference u to always endure Boswell'i enrio-
■ity tamely. On one occasion, when Boiwell had ba«o for
lonM time peniating in qneationing hin with, "What did
Ton do, air?" "What did you say, airf" Ae., Jobnaon nt
laat loat all pattenoe, and azelaimed, " I will not be pnt to

iariu in the world :

" ^ was. If we are to give any credit to his own aoooont or to
the unit^ teatimonj of ail who knew hUn, a m9a of the meaneat
and feeblest intellect. Johnoon described him as a fellow who had
miased his only chance of Immortalily by not having been alive

imverbU expression for a bote. BewaatbelaughIng.stockof the
whole of that brilliant society which has owed to him the greater
part of its fiune. . . . Every thing which another would have hlit
den, every thing the publication m which wpuld have made another
man hang himselt was matter of gay aod clomonias exultation to
his weak and diseased mind. What sUly thingi he sai4, what bitter
retorts he provoked, how at one place he was tronbled with evil
preaentimeats which came to nothing, how at another place, on
waking from a drunken doae, he read Uie Prayer-Book and took a
hair of the dog that hadbittenhJni,bowhe went to see men hanged
and came away meuflin, how he added five hundred pounds to the
fortune of one of hia babiee because be was not scared at Johnaoo's

tatious r^loidng. All the caprioea of hia temper, ail the illasiona
of hia vaai^, 3l hia hypochondriac whimalea, all his castlealn the

to And a parallel in the whole hiatory of mankind. He haa naed
many people fll; but aaauredly he has used nobody so 111 as hbn.
sale ... Of all the talents which ordinarily raise men to emiaeaoe
as wrltecB, Boswell bad abaoluteiyncHie. There is not in all his baa|n

which Is not sither commonplace or abnird. His <uaaertatioos on

Bat we are forgetting to giro aome daaeription of tha
AppBABAKca of the great man, aa promiaad in our laat
heading. Miaa Barney's pencil thaiU h« again called to
oor^d:

"Hels,taMlead,veryBUkvoareai Tat he has natnrsUy a nohle
figure,— tall, atont, grand, and anthocitattve: bnt he stoops bonibly;
hto back is quite round; his month Is continually opening and
shutting, as If he were chewing something; he has a singular
method of twirling his fingers and (wistlng his hands ; his vast
body Is in constant agitation, seeeawing backwards and forwardst
his feet are never a mosnent quiet, and bis whcde great penon
looked often aa if it were going to roll itself qolte voluntaiily, fr«a
Its chair to the floor."

Perhaps no one haa better deaeribod the Vlreia of thit
ttrange-looking giant than the flunoua aatirioal poet of tho
day:

" Methinks I view his ta\L plain snit of brown.

The large grey bushy wig, that graced his crown;

Black worsted stockings, little sUver bnckha,

And diirt, thai had no rniBea for fala knnoUea.

I mark the brown greatcoat of cloth he wore.

That two huge Patagonian pockets bore.

Which Patagoniaas (wondrous to unfold I)

Would fidrly both his Dietionariee hold."— mm PmtB.

We shall have more to quote respecting Johnson 'a ap-
pearance before we have finished thia artiok. Let ua now
turn to hia CoHTERSATiaH, in the deseriplions of which
hia Haxkxrs will, of eoune, oome more or less under
notice 1 In our introductory quotation, indeed, (from Miaa
Bumey,) Johnson's manners, or want of manners, ooonpy
a prominent place.

** Boswril's Ufe of Johnson'haa given a wrong fanpreasion of him
in some reapects. When we see four large volumea written upon a
nnan'a conversation, through a period of flnly years, and Ait remarks
alone sat down, of all those made at the time, we naturally take
the idea that Johnaon waa the central point of society for all that
period. The trath Is, he never waa In good society, — at least In thoee
drclea where men of letten mix with the Ihahionabla world. Hia
brutal. Intolerant mannen excluded hfan from it, of course- He
met good society, tolieeare, at the Ziiteraiy CSnb and at Sir Joahna
Reywilds'B. Oibbon waa aaked why he did not talk more In the
preeenoe of Dr. Johnaon. * Sir,' replied the hlatortaa, taking a pinch
of snuffy ' 1 have no pretonaiona to the ability of contending with
Dr. Johnson in bmtatity and Insoleuce.' " — Sir Jamtt MddtmtoA'i
CmaenaHomt isM Aliamider H. Xcerttl: If, Jmer. Bm- xxzv,
«46-tM,n.

Tet, notwithstanding the apparent leverity of these
atiletnrea, no one bad a higher opinion of Jobnaon'a oon-
Toraational abilities and moral worth than Sir Jamea en-
tartained, aa we ahall show on a intnre page.

Johnson himself had a satisfactory way of aeeountlag
for the absence of invitations to Uio tables of the great.
" Lords and ladiea," he remarked, "don't Uke to have their
■outha atoppad." But the truth ia, aa Lord Brougham
rary eorraetly remarka,

"That bi those days no one wsa, generally specking, admitted
into patridan society merely for the intrinsic merits of his writ-
ten or his talk, without having some access to It through his rank

or his political or proiewional eminence It is equally erroneous

to Bui^Mee that Johnson's rough exterior, or his uncouth and even
nnpleaaant habits, could have prevented his Ihme and his convert
aaoon from bebig sought alter to adorn arlstocntlo partieB in
later timea. All theee petty obstadea would have been eaafly get
over by the vanity of uving such a person to show, and, indeed,
by the real Interest which the display of bis ooUoqulal powen
wobM have poaaeseed among a more raflned and better^soucated
fBoentlon."- Mees 4^ Jfea q/' XeBers, de.

But mneh of the effeet of the dark eoloon of thii pie-
tore i« loat npoD the reader when he rememben Johnson's
partinaeions opposition to Sir Robert Walpole'a adminis-
tration ; and especially his admission to Sir George
StaaBton, — which Horace Ikad prolwbly lieard, — that,
when lie made parliamentary speeehea for the Qentle-
Ban's Magaiina, he " always took care to put Sir Robert
Walpole in the wrong, and to say erery thing ba eoald
ag^nst the eleetoiato of Hanover." Johnion admitted
rery fkankly that he did not forget his poUtios when oom-
posing these celebrated parliamentary speeehas. When com-
mended, long afterwards, for having " dealt out reason and
•loqnenee with an eqnal hand to both partlee," " That is
not quite true," said Johnson : " I saved appeannoeat<de-
lably well ; bat I took care that the Whig dogi sfaonld not
have the best of it" With reference to Walpole's sketch
of Johnson, Joat qneted, we may add that the celebrated
Beroio Epistle in which Johnson is satiriied was ascribed
to Walpole, aad also to Mason, or to both combined.
Lord Chesterfield's description of Johnson, in a letter to
his lordship's ion, will at onoa recor to many of our
Naders. Boswell, and other eontemporaneooi chroni-
clers, certoinly neord many instances of colloquial inia-
jaerte — to use the mildest term — on the part of the lezi-
oographer, which eonld not have been altogether grateful
to the fe^ngs of even the humblest of the great man's
admirer's. Of these we had intended to quote some spe-
cimens, but our limited space forbids. One. amnaing in-
eident, however, must not be omitted. In our life of

Oliver Ooldsnith we quoted George Colman'a glowing
tribute to the kindncea of heart and manner which so

5i«-«minently distinguished that wayward son of genius.
'he same excellent story-tdiei^-certoinly one of the best
of modem days— has left us the following far less flatter-
ing pictoia of Goldsmith's "goide^ pUlosopher, and
friend :"

" My boyish mind had anticipated an awfU Impression when I
was first brought nnwittlDgty into the preeence of the stupendous
Johnson. I knew aot then ttiat be had ' a love ibr little chUdran,'
aalUng then 'lovtty dean and glvlmr tbeoi sweetmeats,' as Boa-
well hath sinoe. In the simplicity of his heart, aarratad. It was
my haplees lot, however, to be excloded ftvm the obiects of this
pnqienaloa. Perhaps, at my age, of about tinrteen, I might hare
bean too old, or too ugly; but the idea of Johnsoa'S oanylnK tea-
Unu to give to ohOdren of any age la much like soppoaing that a
Qreeoland bear has a pocket BtufT'd with tartlets fcr travoUera.

" On the day of my intniduction ho was salted to dinner at my
fctber's house, In Sohoaqoare, and the erudite savage came a ftill
hour before kls time. I happened to be with my buier, who was
beglnalng his toilette, when it waa announced to him that the
Doctor had arrived. Hy sire, being one of the tributary princes
who did homage to this monaich, waa eomewhat flnnied, and,
having dressed ttlmsolf hastily, took ms with him Into the draw-
ing^oom.

**0n our entrance we Ibnnd Johnson sitting fa) a/aatmiZ of loae-
colooied satin, the aims aad legs of which (of the chair, ronem.
b«T, not of the Doctor) were of bonilah'd gold, and the oonbraat
of the man with the seat waa vary striking; an nnwaah'd coal-
heaver la a vMPnU ooold not be mnch more misplaced than John-
son thus depodted. Ha was dress'd In a rusty euit of brown cloth
dm)€, with black nmsted stockings; his old yellow wig waa of
t>rmidable dlmensknu; and the teamed bead which sostalned It
roll'd about In a seemingly paralytlo motion, but, in the perfonn-
anne of Its orbit. It Inclined chiefly to one ahonlder, whether to
the right or left I cannot now remember, — a ihnlt never to be Ibi^
given by certain of \hi6 nBOtUOm, who think theoe matten of the
ntmoet Importuoe. Be deign'd not to riae so our entrance, and
we stood beJbre him while be and my fcther talk'd. There was
soon a paose In tbe colloquy ; and my lather, making Us advan-
tage of it, took me by the hand, and aaid, ' Doctor JolmaOB, tills
to a little Oolman.' The Doctor bostow'd a slight, ungradous
glaooe upon me, and, ooatinuing the xotary motion of hii head,
renew'd the previous eonvenatkin. Again there was a panae, —
updn the anxious tktlier, who bad tUTd In hia first ellbrt, seiaod
ttSs opportuni^ for pushing hia progeny, with, ' This li my son,
Doctor Johnson.' The great man's contempt for me waa now
roused to great wrath ; and, knitting his browik he ezclaim'd, in a
voice of thunder, 'I see him, slrT He then fell back In his rose-
colonr'd satin /autaal, as If giving hlmsdf up to meditation, im-

gyiag that he would not be ftirther plagued either with an old

No one has made a better ezcnae for Johnaan a oaca-
aional ronghness, and even boorishnsas, than Sir Waltet
Scott; and to his pages (in his Ufa of Johnson) wa Boat
refer the reader :

■* The moat triumphant record of the talents and charactsr of
Johnson Is to be found In Bcswell's LIfo of him. The man was so*
perlor to the author. When he laid adde his pen, which he regarded
as an encambrance, be became not only learned and tlwu^tlk^
but acute, witty, humoioua, aatnnl, honest, hearty, and detail

mined; ' the king of good feUowi and wale of old men.*

which he treated Hodge, U* eat, for whom he himaelf used to go

than the scene of this kind of which Mr. Bcawell haa preserved the
account, and into the humour of which he aesaaa to have been In-
capablo of entering. When some uue was mentioned as having

said he, 'he thtaiks he has done a mighty thing: he wont wait till

bclievea he has made this will; but he did not make It: yon.

It !■ easy to see, a* Lord Brougham remark*, that " Bos-
well was incapable of entering into the humour of this
aoeae," and the moral refleotlon* with whioh he elosea the
naphie aketofa Ja*t reoorded are as amnsing as any of ilt
detail*:

"nils most ludlerona exhibition of the awthl, melaocholy, and
venerable Johnson happened well to counteract tiie feelings of sad.
neea which I naed to experience when parting with him for a con-
siderable time. I aceompaniad him to hla door, where ha gave me
hla Ueaalng."

The attention of thi* great man was at an early aga
toraad to the eonsideration of those important tmth* whidi
only the foolieh aad the thoughtlees dare to alight, and
whioh demand a large share of the mind and heart of
arery aoooantable and immortal being.

"When at Oxford," resaaika Johnaon, "1 took np thaw's Beriona
Can to a Holy Life, expeotiag to And it a dull book, (aa aoeh hooka
generally are,) aad perhapa to laogh at iL But I ftmnd lAW qnlto
aa overmatch for me; and this was the first occasion of my ttunk-
fng in eameat of nllglon after 1 became capable of rational enquiry.**

" From this time fonrard," continues hla hlogiwher, " relignn
was the predominant ohfect <t his thon^Os ; thoogfa, with the Just
aenttmenta of a oonscientions Christiaa, he lamented that hla pcaa*
tice of its duties feU fer short of what It ought to be."

With his religious peouliarities of doctrine or obeenrano*
we have here, of oounib no oonoem ; and, did their oon>

that we ebonld feel no temptation to indulge in tho*e un-
beooming ineera at alleged *nper*tition* aad rigid oere-

were ridiculing the subject of their *hallow wit.

■■ Few men," says Lord Brougham, " have perhapa ever lived. In

when Johnioii died, " rirtne waa dapriTad of a eteady sup-
porter," axA that all the dadnotions whieh ean be made
for hie pr^udioea of opinion and " riolenoe and soleoienu

lenoe alike irreproachable."

Haiiitt, (in hia Leotnre on the Periodical Buaylate,)
after ramming ap Johnson's many good qnalitiea, and re-
ferring to his pr^ndioee, oonoiadea with :

"His were not tlmessning, heartless, hypocritical ptt|)ndtoea;
bat deep, Inwovan, not to be. rooted out but with lUb and hope;
which he found firom old habit neoessair to his own peace of mliid,
and thought so to tin peace of mankind. I do not hate, but lorew
him for them. They were between himself and Ids consoJance^ and
should be left to that higher tribunal

" ' Where they in trembling hope reposs, —
The bosom of his Vather and Ms Ood.'

"In a a word, be has Mt behind him few wiser or better man."

"That, wHh all his ooarseneaa aad irritability, he waa a man of

"The comparison which we hare instituted [between Milton and
Johnson] has compelled us to notice Johnson*s detects ; bnt we trust
ve are not blind to his merits. Hb stately march, bis pomp and
power of language. Us strength of thought. Us reverence for virtne
aad leligibD, hia rigorous logie, bis practical wlidoni. Us insMit

The aeeoants whioh hare been handed down to na of
tte hurt days of Johnson's life form one of the most inte-
resting portions of Kngiish literary annals. It waa on
the 13th of Daeamber, 1784, that he was ealled to the
rest whieh remaiaatb for thoee who east themseires in
humble ooniidenoe and nadoabtingtraat upon the promiaee
of that Redeemar who b the saiaf s dependenee and the

was a happy one. Brror there bad been in hi* life; fer
who is there among the ohildnn of men who hath not trans-
gressed? Bnt there had bean hearty rapentaoee, deep
oontrition, and ferrent faith. He had proved his feith,
too, by work* of charity and deeds of lore. He had been
literally " eye* to the blind and feet to the lame." He had
"atrengtheoed him ttuit was ready to perish, and he had
vphoiden the tUlen." His bread had l>een " dealt to the
hnogry, and the poor and cast-oat he had bronght to hli
borne. The promise was fUfilled to him, as it hath ever
been to thoee who rely npon its meroiAiI assnranoe : " In

fram tliat "bondage" which had so long held him in "fear

Bvaogelioomm, Alwrd., 1637, 12mo. Often reprinted.
There formerly exiated an animated diapnta (already ra-
ferred to by na in our life of George Buchanan), relatira
to the reapecUve merits of Jobnaton'a and Bnofaanan'a '
versiona of the Psalms. We give the opinions of sevanl
aminent critioe :

"A sort of critical controverey wis cerried on in the leat centm-j,
ea to the reralona of the Italme by BoChaoan and Johneton.
Though the natk>nal hoooar may aeem equally aecnre by the anpe-
riority of either, it haa, I belieTo, been usual in Scotland to maintalB
the older poet against all the world. I am nerertheleaa inclined to
think that Johiuton's Paalma, all of which are in elegiac metre, do
not mi far abort of thcee of Bnehaiian either in elegance of a^le
or in oorrectneaa of Latinity. In the 187th, with whioh Bachanaa
haa taken much polna, he may be allowed the preference, bttt not
at a great Interrml, and he ha* attained hia anperiorlty by too mnch
dltfuaiTeneea."— HeOiim'i 1*1. Out. of Xmvvt, 4th ed. Urn- 1864.

" Arthur JchnetoD la not ao Terboae, and haa, of course, men
vigour; but hia chdce of a couplet, wtiidi keepe the reader alwaya

— Da. BsATTia ; JhMttrtutioiu Moral and Criivxd.

We may remark, with reibreaea to Beattia'a mention of
Ovid, that Buchanan waa formerly called the Boottlah
Tirgil, and Jobnaton the Soottiah Ovid.

*' He [Johnatoa] bee many beantifU and even powcrAil llnea, auoh
aacan acaioe be matched by hia more popular competitor; theatyle
of Jobnaton poaaeeaing aomewhat of OvicUan eaae, accompanied with
atrength and simplicity, while the tragic pomp and worldly parade
of Seneca and Pradentio* are more aifected by Buefaanan." — ^Fnor.

Supplement to it in the aame year. In the last he inati-
tuted a Compariaon iwtween Johnston and Buchanan, and
givoa the preference to the former; but this opinion waa

mUhenutUcian of the lame name whose remarkable at-
tainment! in his faTonrite seienee we hare already eom-
memorated. The learning of the family was not oonfioed
to either of these persona, for the mother of Sir William
waa also noted for her emdition, as well as for the rirtnes
and aeeompliihmenti more usual to her sex. That the
■nooessfnl pnrmit of knowledge detraeted nothing (hnn
the latter more ralaabie reeommendations, we hare the

Thus did this exoellent woman — ai erineed in the lines
Jut quoted, and in her ftatnre happy experienoe — secnie
the reward promised by inspiration and recorded by the
irtieet of men : " Her ehildren rise opandcallher blessed ;
her husband also, and he ptaiseth her." It was to the sole
oharge of sneh a mother that William Jones was left, by
the decease of his Cather, when he had soarcely reaehed hi*
third year. He early manifested an ardent thiiat for know-
ledge^ whioh hi* maternal Inatructor well knew how to torn
intoprofitable channels :

"The mother of Or WIlHea JOoee, having fermed a plan tor tlie
educatloa of her eon, withdrew Dram great connexions, that die
might live only ftir that eon. Her great principle of edooatiott wee
to excite enrioeity; the reenltcoald not ihll to be knowledge. *Bead
and yon will know,' she oonetantly replied to her filial pupil. And
we hare hie own ecknowledgment that to this maxim, which pro-
duced the haUt of study, M was Indebted for hie future attaln-
mente."— XXmuit on Me LOerart ChaneUr, ed. Lon., U40, i41.

When he had completed his seventh year, he was placed
at Harrow School, under the tuition of Dr. Thackeray; and
this rigid preceptor, so economical of his commendations
in the presence of his best pnpila, did not hesitate to de-
elare in private that William Jones .

" Was a boy of eo actiTe a mind, that, if he were Mt naked and
friendleee on Saliebury Plain, he would nerertheleee And the road
to flune and rlchee,"

This enloginm wai endoieed by Dr. Sumner, Thaakeray's
sooeeasor in 17S1, so that when Jones was entered of
Cnirersity College, Oxford, in the spring of 1764, great
expectations were reasonably entertain^ of his future
diitinetion. His fond mother would not consent to a se-
paration, whioh would bare been equally distressing to
the object of her devoted attachment, and, to the great joy
of William, now in hi* eighteenth year, she accompanied
him to Oxford. Dnring his short leaideaca at this famous
■eat of learning— to whioh he Invnght far more learning
than the mivntj of graduates carry fVom it — he applied
himidf 10 a*sidnoa*Iy to hi* studies, that hi* health would
probably have been undenninad for life, had he not taken
care to vary the seclusion of the closet with the athletic
exercises in which he was a distinguished proBcienL In
these amusements, whilst yet at Harrow, — which Jones
also pressed into the service of classic learning by giving
them a dramatic character— hi* principal associates were
William Bonnet, afterward Bishop of Cloyne, and Samuel
Parr, the equally famous "Birmingham Doctor." The
ikme of young Jones's erudition having reached the ears
of Barl Spencer, he sent him an invitation to t)ecome an
inmate of bis family in the capacity of tutor to Lord
Althorpe, then seven years of age. This proposal was
accepted, and in the summer of 176S he removed to Wim-
bledon Park, where he found himself most pleasantly situ-
ated in the midst of kind friends, and with ample oppor-
tunities of pursuing his favourite researches into Oriental
literature. A Fellowship at Oxford oonrerrcd upon him
in the course of the following summer was an agreeable
addiUon to the substantial comfort* whioh now rewarded
the studious seal for which he had been distinguished from
his earliest years. In 1787, and again in 1770, he visited
the Continent with the Spencer family, and whilst then
eagerly availed himself of the litemy opportunities which
the abeence of engrossing occupations now permitted him
freely to eqjoy. On his return to England, he determined
to embrace the profession of the law ; and we And him on
tile Uth of September, 1770, duly recorded as a student

of the Temple, wheaw be soon eviaead Ike aaa lUiat for
the acquisition of legal knowledge which previoasly ati-
mnbtted his philolog&al and other leaa abeliaae iaveetlga-

the " Trsngaotions" of which hara add«d gnstly to our
knowledge of AaUtie literature and soienoe. Before bii
departure he had exhibited hii knowledge of an abatnue
department of Oriental literatore by hia tranalationa into
Sngliah of an Arabian poem on the Hohammadan Law
«f Bueoeaaion to the Property of Intostatea, (1782, 4to,)
•nd of The Moallakat, or Seren Ancient Arabian Poema,
(1T83, iU>;) and be now determined to qualify himaelf, by
acquiring a knowledge of the Sanakriti for the preparation
of a digeat of Hindu and Mohammedan Lawa, aimilar to
that which Joatinian gave to hia Greek and Koman aob-
jeeta. The year 1788 waa made memorable in Anglo-
India litorary annala by the publication of tho flrat Tolnme
of the Aaiatio Beaaarohea, and the eompletion of Sir
William Joaea'a tranalation of Saoontala, or The Fatal '
Bing, [Saksontala; or, The Loat Ring?] an ancient Indian ,
drama fay EUidiaa. Tbia waa not pub., however, until the !
appearanoe of the eolleotire ed. of Sir WiUiam'a Worka, I
in 17t8, 8 Tola. 4to. In 1704, Sro, (2d ed., 1797, 8ro,) I
he pub., aa an inatitota prefatory to hia larger work, a
trana. of the Ordinancea of Menu, " who i% eateemed by
the Hindna the firat of oreated bainga, and net only the
oldeat, but the bolieat, of legialatora." Sir William bad
intended in Uw following year (17VS) to foUow I<a<iy Jonea,
who had been oonpellea by ill-health to return to England
In 1793; but it was not to written. On the evening of the
SOtb of April, or about that date, ezpoanie to the night-
air during a protraated ramble brought on an inflamma-
tion of the liver, which resulted fatally within a week.
Thus died, tar away firom home, and aeparated from her
wboae preaeaee could beat have aoothed the panga of a
dying hour, thia illuatrioua Engliahman, era he had num-
bered forty-eight years, during one-fourth of which he
had aiyoyed a reputation for aoholarahip unequalled by
any one living. But he waa not alone : hia excellent friend
Lord Teignmouth oloeed hia eyes in death, and the Qod
whom he had long aerved in fervency of faith and humi-
lity of apirit did not forget him in the time of weakneas
and the hour of trial :

** Hja bodily anfltaxisg," aaya hia lorddiip, " from the complacency
of hia fcatnrea and the eoae of hia attitude, ooold not have been
severe ; and his mind must have derived consolation ttom those
aouroea where he had heen in the habit of seeking It, and where
alone, in our last moments, it can ever be found."

His remains were interred in the burial-ground at Cal-
tntta; but a stately monument to his memory arresto the
thoughtful attention of the visitor to St Paul's Cathedral.

The testimony of Sir William Jones to (he authenticity
•nd inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, and the weight and
▼alne of the sanotiona and the oonaolationa by which they
appeal to the mind and heart of man, ia of peculiar value,
nofonndly versed in the laaguagee in which they were
oiiginaUy written, and skilled to amrprising extent in the
peraliaritiss of Oriental literature, — starting moreover,
whan a young man, with a akeptioal biaa against the claims
of revelatton, — the eonelnaion to which his mind was
brought by hia researches ia thua told in hia own worda :

" I have legularlj aad attentivaly read the Holy Berlptnree, and
am of opinion that this volume, Independent of its aHvlne origin,
oontelna more sublimity and beauty, moiApuie nootallty, more Im-
portent hfatory, and liner stteina of poetry and eloquence, than
can be collected fnmi all other booka, In whatever language or age
thqr laay have been composed."

Ibis will remind the reader Teiy fbrdUy of tba remark
of the illostriouB fkiand of Sir William Jones's father. Sir
Isaae Newton :

"I And mora sure narks of the aalfaaatidty of the Bible flian in
any proline history whatew."

With us, wa confess, such avidanoa Is irrasiatibla ; aad
oerUin it is that if the testimony of these great man, or
of either of them, had leaned to the other sida of the
question, wa should never iiave heard iba last of it from
nnbalievera.

A oollectivs ad. of the works of this eminent scholar
was pab. by his fHsod Lord Teignmouth, in 1799, in •
Tola. 4to; to these waia added two supplementary volumes,
1b 1801, and a Life by Lotd leignmonth in 1804; in' all,

Sinee tbat date Oriental literature baa been cultivated with
neat raooeaa by Horace Hayman Wilaon, Duncan Forbea,
Mqnier Willlami, J. Coekburn Thomaon, Eaatwioli, Cowell,
Caaaai, GriSth, Barlcer, Keene, Jobnaon, Prinaep, and
others. Among the modem apecimena of tranalationa Arom
the Sanalcrit, we may briefly notice that of the Bhagarad-
Oiti, by J. C. Thomaon, and the reraion of Bakoontala,
or The Loat Ring, by H. Williams. The prose tranala-
tiona of these works — that of the former bj Sir Charlea
Wilkina, of the latter by Sir William Jones— had made
them known to Oriental acholara, but in the new Teraions
recently publiahed (1855) they are likely to have a mnoh
wider oiroulation. Bakoontala, or The Lost Ring, has
•lieited ardent eulogies from thoae who bsTs taken the
paina to acquaint themselvea with its many beauties :

"The only madmen of thdr plays (nataka) hitherto known to

But the glowing eulogy of Qoethe mast not be omitted :

Mr. WilHams's translation is a free one, and in prose
and Terse, and a great improvement (acoording to Profes-
sor H. H. Wilson) upon the original tranalation by Sir
William Jones. Whilst noUoing modem translations of
this sohool, we must not omit to make honourable mention
of the following :

Ehirad- Afros, Anvar-l Snhalli, Gulistin, High o Bafair,
and Prem Bigar, by Prof. B. B. Eastwick; a selection
fh>m the Odes of Hifts, and VikramorTisI, by Prof. E. B.
Oowell ; the Anekirtha of Hemachandra, by Charles Cassal ;
BaiUil Paehfsf, by Prof. W. B. Barker ; Akblik-i If uhsinf,
by Prof H. CI. Keene ; and Hitopodisa, by Prof. Johnson.

We observe that a priie of £300 has been recently of-
Ibred, (Harsh, 1857,) by a gentleman lately a member of
the Bengal Civil Service, for the Iwat treatiae on the Ve-
danta. The treatiae la to be written in Qerman or French.
The eaaaya are to be lodged with the Royal Aaiatic Sooiety
before April I, 1860, and Profssaor Lassen, of Bonn, Dr.
Windisohmann, of Mnnioh, and Professor Uax MUller, of
Oxford, are to Iw the examiners and acUndioators. The
objeet is to elieit treatises which will )>e of assistanoe to
Christian missionaries in the East Some years ago, the
fame gentteman who offera thia prise placed two anms of
£540 at the disposal of the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge, for essays on Cliriatianity and Hinduism.

But we have wandered f^om our theme, and the length
of OUT artiele warns us to return. It may be readily sup-
posed that the melaneholy news of tha early demise of the
. profcnnd teholar, the upright judge, the conscientious
OhristiaD, and the affectionate friend, elicited many tears
not only in the land where he bad bmn known from boy-
kood, but also ia his adopted home, among a simple and

JON

oonflding people, who had auifered too much from the
emelty and extortion of many of hia oonntrymen not to
know how to value a man of aueh true nobility of eharaotn
aa Sir William Jones :

■* The pundits who were in the habit of attending him," remarks
his fiiuid and biogra|iher, " wfaao I aaw them at a pabUc dnrfaar a

The commendations of his countrymen have l>een la-

" Qreat as Sir Williaua Jones's atbtinmenta nnqnesUoa-

any one who ia not frightened by his industry." Nor ia
his lordship diaposed to ooneede to Sir William Jones's ssind

was expressed in very decided terms by one who, as we have

•OBf UtS-Uil, one of the most eminent of Bngiiah dra-
■atists, was a natlTC of Westminster, aad came into tha
worid a month after the decease of his fktber, — ^who, after
snflSariag imprisonment and eonflscation of estates for his
Protestant principles, lieeame a preacher of thoae doctrines
fcr whidi he had iMon in iMnds. It has been generally
asserted by the poaf s biognpfaers, from the time of Wood
to Oifford, that his mother, after the decease of Jonaon'a
father, married agUn, and that the objeet of her choice
was a brieklayer, named Thomaa Fowler. Bat the later
rssearohes of Mr. Peter Cwminghani, endoiaed by the
learned imprimatur of Mr. J. Payne Collier, hare bronght
■I to the eonelosioo, to borrow the laogaaige of tha Jut-

named rnntlemaa, that, "if Ben Jonson's noiliar married
a aecond time, we have yet to aacertaln who waa her aecond
hoslwnd.'' That the future poet however, did in hia early
youth give some reluctant attention to the nseftil art and
mystery of brickmaking, we have his own avowal, oon-
Teyed in moat disgnatAil terma. Previoaaly to thia un-
promiaing entrance upon the responaibilitiea of aetlTe life,
Jonaon had pnraued hia atndiea at the aohool attached to
St Martin'a-in-the-Fielda, at Weatminater School, (under
the illnatrioas Camden,) and for a week or month, when La
his sixteenth year, at St John's College, Cambridge. After
throwing aside hia trowel, the mechanic turned aoldier, and
gained great diatinetion by his brarery while serving in a
campaign in the Low Conntries. There is a tradition that
on hia return to Bngland at the age of nineteen he ra-
tnmed to pnraue hia atudiea at Cambridge ; but thia ooqjeo-
tnre appears to liave no better foundation than the difficulty
of otherwise aoeeunting for that proficiency which he an.
doobtedly acquired in some of tha Latin authors. It ap-
pears mnch more likely that he immediately l>eeame con-
neeted with the stage, — where be had but little success as
an aotor, — and not long after applied hia literary talent te
good purpose by aaaiating the dramatiata of the day in the
oompoaition of their piecea. An unfortunate quarrel with
a brother-aetor, named Qabriel Spenoer, led to a duel which
resulted in Uie death of tha latter and the imprisonment
tat alwnt a twelvemonth, of the unhappy viotor. Whilst
in prison, he was visited by a Roman Catholic priest who
pressnied his doctrines in aa favoniabia a Ught to the re-
pentant duellist that he became a convert and for twelve
years retained the eocleaiastical sonnexion thus eom-
menoed. The young actor waa no aooner diaefaarged from
coatody than lie sought to resign his freedom, and, periiaps
without a due appreriatioa of the serioos step he waa
taking waa not aatiafied until able to write himaelf a mar-
ried man. The hardahipa of poverty pressed sorely upon
the young eonple, whose aole fortune consisted in their
abundant stook of mutual alfeotion, (we apeak of tlM honey-
luwn,) and tim aetor determined to become an author in
tlie enlarged sense of that term, by trying his lack with a
drama, calculatsd, he fondly hoped, to produce a harvest
of profit and repntation. The precise time at whieh b«
composed the Commdie of Euery Man in his Hvavr can-
not now be ascertained, but it was originally acted by tha
Lord-Cliamberiainfs servants, in the form in which we liave
it in the year 1S98, although it is asnrted that it was aeted
eleven times between Nov. 26, U96, and Nov. 10, 1697.
He seems to have previonsly written for the stage con-
jointly with others^ as we iiave intimated above, and with-
ont assistance; Imt we are obliged to commence the list of
his ascertained productions with the play just named.
Thia at onee gainsd him fame and enemies; and now aeem
to have commenced those literary qnacrela the details ef
whieh form so large a portion of Jonson'apersonal history.
B«|iecting the stories of hla misonderatandinga with Shak-
speare, who, it is asserted, — but the assertion is not ImlieTed
by Qifford, — was the means of intiodueing his first comedy
00 ttke stage, we still leave our poat^s hands fbll of his
assailants^ — Decker, Maraton, Oill, and other aetiTO com-
batants. ■ Thia auoeessful piece was followed by Buery
Han oTt of his HrmTr, A Comicall Satyre^ first aeted in
1699; Cynthias Bevels, or The Foantayne of Selib-Loae,
first aeted in 1699 ; The Poetaster, or His Amigaement
a ComicaU Satyrs, first acted in 1601 ; SeianTS hia FaU, a
Tragoedie^ first aoted in 1603; Volpone^ or The Foxe, a
Comedie, Arat acted in 1606; Epiosene, or The Silent
Woman, Comcedie, first aotsd in 1609 ; The Alehemlat a
ComcediCk first aeted in 1610; Catiline hia Conspiraey, a
Tragcedie, first acted in 1611. So fitr we have quoted tha
titles of oar author's principal productions (not pausing
to notice his minor piecea) from hia own eoUeotive edit
of bis Workes, pali. in 1616, now lying Iwfore us. To
these aoooeed, in thia ancient folio, Bpigiammea, I. Booke ;
The Forrest (Songs, Odes, ka. ;) Part of the King's En-
tertainment in passing to hia Coronation ; A Paaegyre on
The HappU miliance of Jamea ovr Soveraigne to His

It will be seen that in this folio, pub. in 1616, the anther
did not inelads the Comedies of Bartholomew Ihtir, pro-
dooed in 1614, and the Devil's an Ass, prodaeed in 1616.

ToL of the aame aiie, oontaining hia draiaatie pieeaa fivm
Itl2, seroral masqnea, and all that ooald be dUoovered of
hii 0(»a«ioBnl poetry. Another eoUeetive ed. of hii Vorka
was pub. in 16112, fol.; another (a reprint of thelaat)in 1716,
t vole. 8to; and a more complete one, edited by the Ber.
Peter Whalley, in 1766, 7 rola. 8to. A aeoond iaaae of
WbaUey'a edit, waa commenced in 1792, bat the pnbllea-
tiou extended no further than two nnmbera. In 1811, 4
Tola. r. 8to, appeared — what baa been denominated " an

and Beaumont and Pletcher. Whalley'a edit, waa moat
•areleasly compiled, the text that of the impreiaion of I71&,
rarely collated with early edits., and often erroneooa, and
the notes of tittle if of any valoe. In 1816 Mr. William

was accompanied with Notes, Critical and Explanatory,
•ad a Biographleal Memoir. It waa pub. in 9 Tola Sre,
£t 6s. ; r. 8vo, £9. We shall hare something more to say
of tbia edit presently. In 1838, Mr. Moxon, of London,
pub. an ediL of Jonson's Works in r. Sro, edited by Barry
Corawall, another edit, in 1841, r. 8to, sod again in 186S,

Id both eases with OilTord'a Memoir of the Author. To
this Memoir, and eapeeially to the biography of Jonson
in Austin and Ralph's LiTea of the Poets Laureate, Lon.,
1858, 8ro, we refer the reader for forther information ra-
apecting " Rare Ben Jonson." The other aoconnts of tha
poet, referred to below, may be examined for the gratifica-
tion of eartosity, and for the amnaing gossip of the times
to which they relate ; but, aoeording to Mr. Qiffoid, few
men have saffered more from litermry injnstiee than the
author of Catiline and Sejanns. Mr. OiSbrd himself, how-
arer, is perhaps too warm a partisan to be considered an
iafkUible aathority. In Moxon's reprints of Jonaon'a
Woriia, aboT* referred to, (1841, r. Sto; 1663, r. Sro,) the
•nangementis as follows: after the eleven drsjnatie pieeaa
already notieed by ns, come The Staple of News, a Play ;
The New Inn, or Tha Light Heart, a comedy ; The Mag-
aatie Lady, or Haaeors BaeoDciled, a play; A Tale of a
Tab, a play ; (thia ia the laat work of the author that waa
aabmitted to tba atage;) The fiad Shepherd, or A Tale of
Kobin Hood, a play; The Case is Altered, a play'; Enter,

woods; Leges CoDriTalas; Trasialalaona from the Latin
Poets ; Timber, or Discoveries made upon Men and Mat-
ter; The Bni^ish Grammar; Jonsonus Viribua, or The
Memory of Ban Jonion ; Olossary ; Index. Between Oif-
fcrd's Memoir of the Author and the first of his pieces are
inserted Ancient Oommaodalory Verses on Ben Jonson.
We have already referred (see Chaphir, Oborsx) to
Jonson's share in tha eomposition of Saatward-Ho, and he
was a partner in other literary enterprisas,— «eoording to
the custom of the poets of the age.

It waa in 1616 that Jonson received an aoc^table mark
of the royal faronr, in the shape of an annual penaton
from King Janaa af one hundred marks a year for life,
(from henceforth we designate him by the title of Poat-
Lanreate,) which was increased by King Charles, in 1630,
to one hundred pounds aterling, and *'a terse of Canary
Wine." Tbia augmentation of hia inaome (for which, in-
deed, he had petitioned the king in a rhyming epiatle) did
not come any too soon, for the extravagance of the poet
between 1616 and 1636, his multiplied libations at the
Mermaid, and profbaa hospitality at bis own table, had
reduced him to great atnita. It is malaneholy to be obliged
to add that ha died in poverty ; it is more pleasing to onr
feelings to be able to record the fact that he departed in
panitanaa and faith,— -regretting the occaaional irreverence
of his pan, and, we trust, deploring the frequent abuse of
powers which were given for nobler anda He was called
I to the " dread aoooant" before the " Judge of all tha earth"
on the 6th day of August, 1637. Did our space permit,
wa migh^ are wa pnMeeded to a brief consideration of
Jaaaon's cbanwteriatlcs aa a writer, linger a short time

OT«r some of the prominent incidents of the poetfa life,

especially upon bia memorable visit to Dmmmond of Haw-
thomden in 1 619, his wit (or wet) combata with Shakspearcy
and his leas amiable eon tests with the second-rate wlta of thia
belligerent aga. Bat we have already rafeired the reader
to almndant aoaroea of information, and with them we ahaH
leave him, after he haa borne ns company for a Hm mo-
ments longer, whilat wa quote some opinions fVom a Aw
eminent authorities respecting the characteristics of thia
onee-favouril« author.

** Ban Jonsoo. a jaaagn contemporary and rival of Shakapean^
who laboured in the sweat of his brow, bat with no great iiiii iiiaa,
to expel the romaatJo drama bom the English stase and to fbna
it on the model of tlie ancients, gave It as his cpinkm that Sfaak-
speare did not blot eaongfa, and that, as he did not poaseas much
scbooMeaming, be owed more to nature than to art. . . . JooeoB
was a critical poet la the good and bad aenae of the word. Hean-
daaroared to form an axaet satlmat* of wlwt he had on evssy oo-
caaion to perform; hence he auooeeded beat ia that specks or tba
drama which makea the principal demand en the nnderstanding
and srltfa iltCle call en the ImaglnatioB and feeling, — the comedy
ofehaiacter. Be inmdnced nothing into his wwka which critical
disaeetlon Should not be able tosstiact a^in, aa bia oonMnca la
it was such, that ha ooneetved it cvhaBstad eveiy thing which
pleaaes and obatms na In poetry. Ha was not awaiv that in the
chemical retort of the critic what Is moat valuable, the volatila
living splift of a poem, evaporatea. His pieces are In general defl-
cient in soul, in tliat nanwleaa somalMnc which never oaaaea to
attract and enchant ns even beeanaa it Is iadeflaabla. IntlMlyitcal
places, hia Maa^nes, we feel the want of a certain mental mwie of
miagery and intonation, which the moat accurate obaerratioa at
dlQlcalt measorea cannot give. He ia evei'ywliare ddldent in thoae
excellencies which, unsought^ flow fhna tbe poet's pea, and wirich
no artist who purposely nnats Ibr them can ^rar hope to ted.
We must not qnaml with him* however, for aatettalalaK a high
opinion of his own works, since whatever nMrita they have he
owed, like acqatxed moral prtmertiea, altogether to himaelt The

{troduction of^them was attended with labonr, and nafcrtnnately
t is also a laboar to read tbssn. They reaemble solid and regalar
edifinaa, iMfore which, however, ttie cluniay scallbldiiig still i isnalaa,
to interrupt and prevent na Ikisn viewing tha architaetare with saaa
and receiving from it a harmonious imprassion. Wehaveof Jonaosi
two tragical attempta, and a number of oomedlea and masnnea,

" He could have risen to the dignity of tha tragic tone, but Ibr
the pathetio he had not the smallest turn. As ha iiiisassiillj
preaches up the Imitation of the ancients, (and be had. we cannot
deny, a learned acquaintance with their works,) it la astonishing to
observe bow much his two tragedies diSar, both In aabataoce and

"If aslted to give our opinion of Ben Jonson'e powers in g«neial|
wc should ray that he was a poet of a high order, as for as leamlog,
fkncy, and an alMolute rage of ambition could conspire to maks him
one ; bat Uut he never touched at the highest, except by vlt^oat
elTorta and during the greatest felicity of tiu sense of success. The
material so predominated in him over the spiritual, — the (K'DRual
over the sentimmtal, — that he was more social than loving, and ftv
more wilful and fknolful than imaginative." — Leigh Hunfa Jfen and
Wnnen and Baokt: Sn/^cUng and Ben Jotuon.

" I do not think that his poetical merita are yet properiy iqipre-
Clatod. I cannot oopsent tkust the palm of humour alone shall be

even to him, while In wit, feeling, pathos, and poetical diction
I is to be snnk fathoms below Fletcber and Masslnger. In the
last parfcleular I think that he excels them both, and, indeed, all
his oontemporarlee, excepting Shakspeare." — Henry iVeefc*! Leebt.
M EnffiM% Poetry ; Ud. lU.

Mr. Diflra«lt also eotnes to the rescue of the abused poet :

"Some modem critics, whose delicacy of taste In its natural
fcebleDeee could not strain itself to the vigour of Jonson, have
strangely &Ued to penetrate into the depths of that mighty mind;
and some modem poets have delivered tluiir sad evidunce that fat
them the Coryphietts of our eldsr dramatists has become nninteUi^
gible." — AmeiatUMt^ Literature: The Humourt of Jonson.

** With such extraordinary requisites for the stage, joined to »
■train of poetry always manly, frequently lofty, and sometimes
almost Bublimei it may at first appear strange that hii dramas
an not mon In vogue; but a little attantlon to his peculiar modes
and habits of thinking will, perhaps, enable ob in aome measure to
account ibr it. The grace and urbanity which mark his lighter
pieces ho laid aside whenever he approached the stage, and put on
the censor with the sock. This system (wtwther wise or unwise)
batorsily led to drcumstancea which affect his popularity as a
writer : he was obliged, as one of his critics Justly observes, * to
hnnt down his own uiaractcrs,' and, to continue the metaphor, he
was frequeqtly carried too Car in the clutse.** — O^ffimPi Memoir f^
Btn Ronton,

The whoU of this eritieism should be oonnilted by the
reader.

**nie fkult In Jonson's two traxedka is that there is not eoonglk
to interest flesh and blood in them and to stir np the sympar
thies, the hopes and fears, of humanity. Xliere is a oold hiitoric
fubllmlty, which, however It m^y command the homage of the
Intellect, awakes no lespousive echo in the heart. The cSiaracters
are true to history, — true, therefore, to human nature ; and they
move on in the plot with stern and terrible decision. But the harsh
outline lacks tooae lighter pencUUhga, those softer ooionriugs, in
which poetry surpasses history, and without which the picture,
thmigh btrid and masterly, wIU not chain the Uvlag gasa of the
spectator to the painter'a canvas. . . . Uis best comedies are so
ceneraUy known that a lengthy critique on them would be tedious.
Thoee tut are leas read arescaroely deserving of any notice, beyond
the interest that must attach itself t4 any production from the pen
of nidi a man. £very Man In his Humour, The Alchymist, vot
pcme, or the Fox, and The Silent Woman, are the best of the nume-
rous CMuedies he has left us. . . . Jonson'a uasquos are tieautifuL
Though with oocasinnai extravagant fenciea and atrained oonceita,
they are full of learning and taato. They were many of tlum
written for great festive oocasioae. . . . Some bewntlftd songs are
introducod into them. ... As a tranalattx' he must not be forgot-
ten. He has left a version of Horace's Ars Poetica, and a few of the
odea. The fbrmer Is marvellously literal, and not so tame as might
therefore be supposed. In the latter there is little to praise; but
he has excelled these regular translations in passages of the masques
and risewbere, \rtiich he has borrowed from aadont authors adid
literally rendered. . . . Jonson is no exooptfon to the rule ttiat clear
and strong ntteranoe Is one of the <dilef characteristics of genius,
and thatgraat poste have beeo good proae-writars. The fhigment
entitled Timber, or DIsooverlaa, BuAdently shows, without ^ipeal-
Ing to hIi letters, dedioatloas, and preftices, that KngUah literature
lost much by the destruction of his prose manuscripts. The small
remnant that Is left Is fbll of enuUte orltlolBm, profound reflection,
and great severity of Judgment. There are notes on books and on
life, arranged In a strange and ari>itrary manner, written in aooncise
and pregnant style, and, though they do not contain so much sen-
tentioas wisdom, remind us fiwdbly of the Besays of Bacon. . . .
Ve have spoken ot Jonson as the anUior of tragedy, of comedy, of
masque, as a translator and prose-wrltor. But it is as a Ivric poet
also that we datm for him a homage and admiration which has
hlthwto been sparln^y given if yielded at all.'*— ^tutfn and Saiph't
Lhe$ q^ the B>eU-laureaiey Lon., 1853, 90, 91-92, 96, 98, 98-99, 101.

An aocompliihed female writer, whose graeensloriticismB
we hare freqneotiy had oocaaion to quote in the ooarse of
thia volomay speaks with entbasiasm of the lyrioa Just re-
ferred to:

** We of this ace, a little too eareleaa perhi^M of learned labour,
would give a whole wilderness of C^tQlnes and Poetasters, and
even of Alcbemlste and T^pones, tar another score of the exquisite
lyrics which are scattered carelessly through the plays and masques
which— straage contrast with the rugged verse in which they are
hnbeddsd — seem to have bnrst into being at a stroke, Just as the
Svening primrose flings open her flilr petals at the close of the day.
LoveUo- songs were never written than these wild and irregular
ditties."— Jfary RuaeU Mi^for^e BeoaOee. qf a Literary Ufe.

We flball hardly feel that we cao willingly pass on to the
next article in our Diotionary without quoting some opi-
nions rotpectiDg oar author from some of the great men
of his own day and the age which followed. The best-

known of snob passages Is that vhieh bear* the Imprimatar
of Jonson's host of April, 1619, — Drummond of Haw-
tboraden. None of the abundant censures lavished upon
his hero more ezoitas the indignation of Gifford than these
jottings of the unfortunate Boswell of the age of James L
But, if Drummond was not the victim of the fwn^ bioara-
phicue, surely Qifford was, and therefore (to borrow m>ni
Dr. Johnson's letter to James Macpherson) regard is to
be paid less to what be says than what he is able to prove.
The easy and confident arrogance with which Gifford oon-
tradicts the asBertionsofJunsuu's contemporaries, of those
who lived in the succeeding few years, and of lator autborl*
ties, who perhaps bad as good information, and certainly
far better manners, than the editor of the Quarterly, is not
a little amusing. We are not insensible to the value of
his critical labours, and have no disposition to endorse
Mr. Lolgh Hunt's assertion that

'■'■ Sympathy with Jonson^ ooarseneaa and his love of the caustic,
a poor verbal tact, and a worship of authority, were the only quali-
fications for a critical sense of him poaseased by the petnlant and
presumptuous Qiflbrd.** — Jfea, Wmwii, and Boekt: Atdtiing and
Ben Jotuon.

But surely Gifford might have displayed all that be had
to offer in its best light, without so nithleasly assailing his
predeceaflors. In the words of a late crltio,

'* The author's one plan for reinstating Jonson in the good opinion
of his countrymen la to lall foul of every critic, old or recent, that
hod ever said a word soinat hlm.*^ — Aorlh British iterino, Feb.
1866.

We may reBsar)i, in passing, that a nottoe of Barry Com-
wall's edit of Jonson's Works, already referred to by ns,
will be found in Leigh Hunt's Men, Women, and Books.
Whilst Jonson was Drummond's guest, it was the custom
of the latter to register tbe sayings of the distinguished
sojourner, and at tbe oonolusiun of these piquant entries
ho takes the opportunity to record hisowD opinion of the
characteristics of his visitor, who, he tells us, was

** A great lover amd t)raiser of himself; a contemner and soomer
of others ; given rather to lose a friend than a jest ; Jealous of
every word and actloo of those about him. enwdally after drink,
which is one of the elemente in which he lived; a dissembler of ill
parte which reign in him : a bragger of some good that he wanted ;
thinkcth nothing well done but whiit either he himself or some of
his friends hath said or done. He In pas8iomit«;ly kind and angry,
careless either to gain or keep; vindictive, but, if he bo w^
answered at himself, Interprete best sayings and deeds oft«i to the
worst. He was for any religion, as being versed In both ; oppressed
with &ncy, which hath ever mastered his reason,— a general die>
ease in many poete: his Inventions are smooth and easy, but above
all he exceileth In a translation."— i>ruiniiKn«fs Works, 1711, fol-
22i-228L

It is only proper to nmark that Dmmmond*s notes are
not correctly printed in this folio ed. of 1711. A oorreet
text, wiUi illastratire notes, was for the first Ume printed, in
1842, by tbe Sbahspeare Society, under the editorial super-
vision of Mr. David Laing, by whom the MS. was disco-
vered. We have already noticed (see D&chhoitd, Wm.)
Mr. Peter Cunningham's ed. of Drummond's Works, 1833,
12mo. . A new ed. by the same editor was pnb. in 1863,
Edin., 8vo.

The first chaige which Drummond prefers In the above
indictment is nnfortanatdy too fully endorsed by eontem*
porary evidence to admit of any debate. To saj nothing
of Owen feltluun's admirable parody upon Jonson's
" Come, leave the loathed stage,"— a bnrst of indignation
at the failure of his play of The New Inn, — we have a
letter from Howell upon this theme, a few lines of which we
shall quote :

'* Sn :— I was Invited yestsfiklg^t to a sdemn mppex by B. J., [Boa
Jonson,] where yon were deeply remembered: there was good com-
pany, excellent cheer, choice wines, and Jovial welcome : one thing
laterveued, which aloiost spoiled the relish of the rest, — Uiat B. b^pus
to engross all the dlacoarse, to vapour extrentdy by himself muL
by viniying others, to magnify his own muse. T. Ga. {Ton Cbjtew j
buzsed me In the ear, that thou^ Ben had barrelled up a great
deal of knowledge, yet It seems be had not read the ethics, which,
among other procwte of morality, forbid self-commendation, de>
ciaring it to be an lU-ikvonred solecism In good manners. . . . But.
for my part, I am content to dispense with the Kouan infirmity of
Ben, now that time hath snowed upon his pericranium. You know
Ovid and (your) Horace were subject to this humour, — the first
bursting out into —

** * Jamaque opus exegi, quod neo Jovis ira nee ignis,' kc

" The otlier into —

** ' Exegi monumentnm ssre pecennlns,' Ae.

** As also Cicero, while he forced himself Into this bexametae:

" ' 0 fortnnatum natam me consule Bomam.'

" There is another reason that excuseth B.,— which Is, that if one
be allowed to love the natural iasoe of hja body, why not that of his
brain, which is of a spiritual and more noble extraction Z" — 2b Sir
Thomas Mavok, KL, WtstminsUr, hth April, 1630.

See our Life of Jah ns Howkll, No. 3, in this Bietion-
ary. It was well that Howell bore this inflietion so welly
for Gerard Langbaine tells us Uiat " Ben Jonson's greatest
weakness was that be could not bear censure^" and again.

They wer« a m«rry i«t of fellows that met at Th« ApoUo
and at The Mermaid, — too merry by half, or rather too
free with the stimalacti that provoked their merriment.
When Frank Beaumont was paying a visit in the country,
he felt the loss of these highly-seasoned festivities, and
thus poors out his troubles into the bosom of his ootre-
ipondent, Rare Ben :

«MetUnks the little wit I had Is lost
Since I saw yoQ; Ibr wit Is like a rest
Hold up at Tennis, which men do the best
With the best gamesters. What thinsi have we sesn
Done at the Mermaldl heard words that have been
So Dlmbl^ and so full of snbtUe flame,
As if that every one, tnxa whom they oam^
Had nseaut to put his whole wit in a Jest,
And had resolved to live a fcol the rest
Of his duU Ufe.»

It had been better for the whole oompany had they loved
their own firesides mora and the Mermaidt and ApoUos
less. Of this gay oirole Master Bhakspeare was a promi-
nent member, and good old Thomas Fuller tells as

M Many were the wltK»mbats [" wet.oombats," the last edition of
Vuller, fhxa which we quote, prints it] betwixt him and Ben Jon-
son; which two 1 behold like a Spanish gnat galleon and an £ngluib
manof-war : Master Jonson (like the former) was built flu* higher
In learning; solid, but slow in his performances. Shakspean, with
the Kngliu man.of-war, lesser in bulk but lighter In sailing, ooold
turn with all tides, tack about, and take advantage of all Winds, by
the quickness of his wit and inventlan." — HtoilUn </ AwiowL
Inm., 1840, iU. 2gi-3U.

As Fuller was only eight years of age when Shakspean
died, he of ooorse does not intend as to anderatand the
word " behold" in its literal sense. Jonson was not always
disposed to engage in these wit-eombats, for, as Fuller
himself tells us in another plaoe,

** He would sit silent in a learned oompany, and suck In (besldss
wine) their several humours into his obaervation. What was oro
In others, be was able to refine to himself.

** He was paramount in the dramatic part of poetry, and taught
Um stage an exact oonformity to the laws of comedians. His co-
medies were above the volge, (which are only tickled with downright
obaoenity,) and took not so well at the first stroke as at the rebound,
when beheld the seoond time: yea, they win endure reading and
that dtie commendation so long as either Ingenuity or learning are
fhshlonable in onr nation. If nls later be not so spritefol and ngor-
oos as his flnt pieces, all that are old will, and all that desire to
be <dd should, excuse him therein.'' — Ihid., IL *2t.

" The most learned, Jndkikma, and oorrect, generally BO accounted,
9f our SogUsh Comedians, and the more admired for being so, for
that neither the height of natural parts, for he was no Shak-
spean, nor the cost of extraordinary edncation, for he is reported
but a bricklayer's son, but his own proper industry and addiction
to books advanced him to this perfictlon.''— fiWIUps't Theal. A<(.
AHgUc 1 Brydges's ed, IMO, aU-3M^ q. «.

The oomparison between Shakspean and Jensen— ^hom
before Gilford's Memoir it wai the fashion to represent as
the enemy and vilifier of his lUnstrious brother — is a fk-
Tosrite topio with many eritiea. It is not omitted in Dry-
den's admirable sammary of the Uteiaiy oharaeteiistioa
of Ben Jonson ;

** As for Jonson, to whose character I am now arrived. If we look
upon him while he was himself, (Ibr his last playa ware but his
dotages,) I think him the moat learned and Jndbons irriter which
any theatra ever had. He was a most seven Judge of himself as
WMl as others. One cannot say he wanted wit, but rather that he
was frugal of It. In his works you find little to retrench or alter.
Wit andlangoage, and hnmoar also in some measure, we had belbn
Urn, but something of art was wanting to the drama before he
came. He managed bis strength to mora advantage than any
which preceded him. Ton seldom find blm making love In any
of his scenes, or endeavouring to move the passions : his genius
was too sullen and saturnine to do it gracefnlly, especially when
be knew he came alter thoee who had performed both to such a
belgbt. Humour was his proper sjAen, and in that he delighted
most to present mechanical people. He was deeply conversant In
the ancients, both Greek and Latin, and he borrowed boldly fVom
thsm. There is scaroe a poet or historian among the Roman anthon
of tbooe times whom he has not translated In ' Janus' or * Catiline.'
But he has done his robberies so openly that one may see he tears
not to be taxed by any law. He invades authon like a monarch,
and what would be theft in other poets is only victory In him.
With the spoils of theae writers, be so represents Old Rome to us.
In its rites, ceranoniea, and customs, that if one of their poets had
written either of his tragedies, we had seen less of It than In him.
If then wasany lhnltlnhisUngnage,ltwasthatbeweavedlt too
eiasely and laboffioasly. In his comedies especially; perhaps, too, he
did a little too much Romanise oar language, leaving the words he
kaaslated almostasmoeh Latin as be foaM them, whsnia, though
he learnedly followed their langnage, he did not enough comply
with the icfloms of onn. If I would compare him with Shak-
fpears, I must acknowlec^ him the most correct poet, but Shak*
•pears the grsatsr wit. Ouikspsare was the Homer or iktlMr of

aepeatari

draamtle poets, Josbob was the TicgB. the tmtttm ot dabonte
writing. 1 admire him, but I love Shakspsare."

Sir Walter Scott thus contrasts Jonson and Shakspeare:
** The one is like an ancient statue, the beauty of whidl, spring,
lug fhmi the exactness of the proportion, does not always strike si
first sight, but rises upon us as we bestow time in oon^dering it;
the other is the representation of a monstsr,,wli]eh is at first only
surprising, and ludicrous and disgusting ever aftsr." — Ltfe tff
Brydm,

Itself. His natural advantages were. Judgment to order and gonsa

Bishop Warburton thought otherwise, as the Sixth Dis-
sertation proved so conclusively the great antiquity of the
doctrine of a fotnre state as to overthrow the prelate's
leading and moat abaurd position in The Divine Legation
of Moses. Hurd, therefore, ever ready for sack service,
took up the cudgels for his friend, and Warburton, in his
letters to Hurd, attacks Jortin with his usual arrogance,
petulance, and indecency. See Disraeli's Qnatrels of
Authors, in Miscell. of Lit., ed. Lon., 1840, 168; Lord
Jeffrey's Contrib. to Edin. Rev., 1853, 889-880; Black-

7. The Life of Erasmus, with Remarks on his Worki^
175S-60, 2 vols. 4to; 1806, 3 vols. 8vo. VoL ill. is com-
posed entirely of Original Documents, and extracts from
the writings of Erasmus and other writers. An abridgment
of J^ortin's Life of Erasmus was pub. by A. Layeey, Lon.,
1805, 8vo.

" Having been long an object of anivenal admiration, It is a
matter of aurprlae that hia life baa never been written with accn.
racy and Judgment. This task waa reaerved for Dr. Jortin ; and
the avidity with which it is read by the learned la a proof of the
merit of the execatioa." — Da. V, Knox.

"The ease, aimpUcity, and vigour of this engaging writer, (I
speak of the biographer,) who negligently scatters learning and
vivacity on every sul^oct which be treats, are here exercised on a
meet congenial topic." — Oeen'i Diary qf « Lootr qf Lit., Ipswich,
1810, (Ito,) p. 13.

" In hia Lifeof Erasmus, Jortia shewed Umaelf to be Uttle more
than a translator of Le Clerc. A anbicct of the greateat la made
by him one of comparatively small interest. The work is little
better than a dry Journal of tacts, atitched together. ... It la use.
fttUy and carefkllly compiled, but wholly ananimated by a atroka
of geniaa. The life of one of the greateat wlta of hia age haa pro.
dnced only aombn blographleB. . , . Theeevdnmes . . . aredonbt.
leas unworthy of their author." — DibtUn^i Lib. Cbmp.

" Dr. Johnaon thought Jortin'a Life of Braamna a dull book." —
Jbhntoniana.

"Every scholar well read in the writings of Erasmus and his
eontemporariee must have discovered that Jortin has neither col*
lected sumcieat nor the best materials Cor his work ; and perhaps
for that very cause he grow weary of his task before he had mads
a full use of the scanty materials which ho had collected." — 8. T.

indeed, dressed out in the meretridouB ornaments of a florid style,

" The various treatises in theae volumea are highly commended
by Bishop Newton, T. Warton, and Dr. Knox."

It is to be regretted that, in theae days of republication
of standard antbors, a colleotive ed. of the works of Dr.
Jortin should still be a desideratum. Mr. Strong, of Exe-
ter, some years since, offered • set of ail of this divine's
works, together with Dianey's Idfe of Jortin, — in all 22 vols.
Svo, — for £8 Ss. For further information respecting this
axoellent writer, see Dr. John Disney's Life of Jortin, 1 793,

wood's Hag., xxix. 901-902; xxx. 861 ; xxxiii. 873.

" The works «f Biabop Warburton and Dr. Jortin will speak for
them better than any private commendation : they were two very
extraordinary men ; they were both men of great ports and abilf.
tisa. both men of nncommon learning and enidltlon, both able
critics, both oopions writers. . . . Kvery thing that proceeds ITom
Jortin is of value, wbethar in poetry, atticism, or divinity."—

Joseph of Kxeter, or Josephm IseBBna, an
Angio-Latin poet temp. Riehard I., a native of Daronshire,
wrote two epio poems in Latin heroics : the first, in six
booki, is on the Trojan war; the other is enttUed Antio-
ehe'ts, the War of Antioeh. Of the last, the only fragment
which remains (22 iinas) wiil be found in Warton's Hist,
of English Poetry, and in Wright's Biog. Brit Lit., Anglo-
Norman Period. Leland also attributes to Joseph epi-
grams and lore-verses, (Nagas Amatorise,) and it is asserted
that he wrote in Latin verse De Inatituliona Cyri; bat no
sQch productions are known to be extant. For an account
of the edita. of the poem De Bello Trojano, see Wright,
tMnpra. See also Leland; Bale; Pits; Prince's Worthies
of Devon; Warton's HisL of Eng. Poet; The Sketch-
Book, (art on The Mutability of Literature,) by Washing-
ton Irving.

** A miracle of this age In daseical compoaltkni was Joseph of
Exeter, commonly called Josephiis Iscanns. ... He appears to have
pcsaessed no conunon command of poetical phraseology, and wanted
nothing but a knowledge of the VlreUlan chastity. His style is a
mixture of Ovid, Statlus, and Clauotan, who seem then to have
been the popular patterns." — Wirton't Sitt of Sag, Act, ed. Lon.,
1840, vol. L cxxvll., cxxvlil.

Warton remarks that Italy had at that time produced
ao poet comparable to Josephns Isoanus. It has Iwan
■tated that this poet died about 1224, bat of the true data
nothing is certainly known.

wara pot forth by Tsrioni pabUsban bcfor* 177S, in wfai«h \
year Mr. Henry Sampson Woodfall, ths original printer
of the eputlei, inaed an edition in 2 vols. sm. 8vo, with
the sanetion of Junius, and an eloquent Dedioation, Pre-
face, and Notes, by the same mysterions indiridual. In
1812, 3 vols. 8vo, Mr. Oeorge VoodDiU pub. a new edition
of these oelebrated letters. In this edit, we have not only
the Letters of Janins referred to above, but also bis pri-
vate letters to H. 8. Woodfall, bis ooirespondenoe with John
Wilkes, and other communioations to WoodUl's Pnblia
Advertiser, under various signatures, ascribed to him with
m<n« or less probability of truth. The period daring whieb
the Letters of Junius and those thus aseribed to hfan wen
written extends from the letter of PopUeols, 28th April,
17(7, to the letter of Kemesia, May 12, 1772. Wood&U's
edition contains —

I. The Letters of Junius distinotively so sailed, and ae-
knowledged by bim, dated January 21, 1769, to Januaty
21, 1772.

Of the 6> Letters in this series, 59 were Written by Ja-
nins; of whieb 44 bear the signatnrs of Junius, and 16
the signature of Pbilo-Junins. Of ths 44 letters signed
Junius, the titles are as follows:

n. Junins's Private Letters to Mr. H. S. Woodfall, dated
April 20, 1769, to January 19, 1773. In this series there
are 84 Letters and Notes, 62 ef which are addressed by
Janins to Woodfall, 1 to David Oarrick, and the other (the
oonelusion of the series) is a letter of Woodfall's to Janins,
dated March 7, 1773.

IIL Junins's Confidential Correspondence with John
Wilkes, containing 18 Letters, 10 of which are written by
Junius, and 8 by Wilkes. These letters are dated 21st
Aognst, 1771, to January 16, 1772.

iV. The Miscellaneous Letters ascribed to Junius, under
various signatures, consisting of 113 letters and papers,
28th April, 1769, to May 12, 1772, which occupy part of
the second and the whole of the third volumes. The au-
thenticity of many of these productions is very question-
able. Prefixed to this edition, which is illustrated by
notes, is an admirable Preliminaiy Essay on Jnnios and
bis Writings, by the editor, John Mason Oood, M.D.

A new edition of the irane of 1812 was published lb
18S0, 2 vols. 12ma, which contains much additional matter
of great valne. This forms part of Bohn's Standard Li-
brary, and is edited by John Wade, who favoors ns with
Kew Bvldeoee as to the Authorship, and a portion of an
Analysis, by the late 8hr S. Harris Nicolas. Mr. Wade
makes out a strong case for the claim of Sir Philip Francis.
Xhere are, however, some grave olt)eottons to uis hypo-

thesis, wUeh wa hardly ezpaet to see raruoimtad. See,
in addition to authoritiss to be oited hereafter, London
Athenmnm, 1860, 126, 164, 868, 9S9, 9<9, 99S, 1021, 1671.

Saekville — are carefally examined by Dr. Good in his oele-
brated preliminary essay, and all are decidedly Faceted.
As the question now stands, the silting of smIous and

those for whom the authorship has bom time to time basa
claimed, — via. ;

The claims of the last two candidates in ths field. Sir
Robert Rich and Gov. Thos. Pownall, have been recently
brought prominently forward, — those of the former by Mr.
Ayerst, in 1863, and of the latter by Mr. Fredeiiek QriSa,
of Montreal, in 1864. Mr. Dowe, indeed, has within tha
last few months announced new discoveries in favour of
the claims of the Earl of Cbatiuun, but in the present stage
of the question — for Mr. Dowe's book ia hanUy yet fidriy
before tbe world — we do not fbel jnstified in adding hbl
lordship's name to tbe three who still exhibit indications
of vitality after endnring the targets of a keen Uleiaiy
battle of fontsoore years' duration.

We shall presently glvs a list of publications eonnaetei
with tha Junius controversy, but it may be proper beta
briefiy to refer to some prominent jdeas fbr ths respeetiva
claims of the three above named.

1817, 8vo. 3. Review ef the two preeeding, by Lord Brong-

thus sums up the evidence presented by Mr. Taylor :

"Ibat it proves Sir Fbiliii to be Junius, we wOl not aiBim: bat

II. Lou> OnoRsc Sackvillk, afterwards Lord Okb-
IIAIB. We need here only refer to George Coven try 'a Cri-
tieal Inquiry regarding the real author of the Lettera of
Junioa, provinguem to have been written by Lord Viaeonnt
Saekville, 1826, 8vo. Thia theory waa anatained in a work
pnb. in Boston, V. Btatas, in 1828, entitled Joniua Un-
masked, or Lord Oeorge Saekville proved to be Joniua,
•nd in a review of this voL (n the N. American B«v., zziz.
>U, bv a.B.Cheever. Charies Butler (ace bia Reminis-
oanees) supposes Lord Saekville to have been the author
of Jonius, and Sir Philip Francis his amaanenaia and oo-
eaaional assistant. Mr. Jaqoae, in bis History of Junius
and hia Worka, and a Review of the Controveray, 1843,
8vo, adopts this theory, and adds D'Oyly — Franeia's fel-
low-clerk in the War-Ofliea — aa a eonneoting-link beweea
laord Saekville and Franeia.

III. CoLORSL Isaac BaBiifi. Mr. John Brltton, in hia
Anthorahip of the Letters of Jnnins Elucidated, 1848, r.
Svo, earnestly oontends that C(donel Bairiwaa JSniua, and
that be waa aaaiated by Lord Shelbume and Mr. Dunning.
In an article pub. in 1^ London Homing Herald in 1813,
the opinion waa expressed that the Barl of Shelbume waa
Juniua, and that he waa aaaiated by BarrS and Dnnning.
Thia work ia noticed by the aathor «t the article in the
London Quar. Rev., xc. 91, before referred to, aa
'*aeaclooa inetance of the delnskm to which iogenlons men may
roslgn themaalTes when they liave a farourlte opinion to nphtdd.**

An elaborate review of Mr. Brittou's work will be found
in the Loudon Athenasnm, July 22 and 28, 1848. And aea
other artiolea referred to in the oourae of the present notice.

We shall now proceed to give a list of publioationa con-
nected with this perplexing subject, which to the minds
of many of th* most intelligeDt readers of the day is aa
much a myatary aa it waa to their grandfathera. Whether
thia cloud will ever be lifted from the name ia now doubt-
faL Indeed, it ia diffionlt to imagine in what way th*
•athorship of tha Letters of Junius can ever be satisfac-
torily proved, presuming that the claims of the real author
have Iwen, or shall hereafter be, presented to the public
for acceptance. If the argamenta in favour of the author-
ship of Sir Philip Francis, or Lord Saekvills, or both com-
bined, be insnlBcient to gain oredenee, what amount of
•vidcnce can identify the real author? Certain it ia that
againat evaa Junius himself, whoever he may be, many
probabilities will apparently exist. It can t>o only by the
preponderance of favourable tastimony that any siich
claim can be established. Not a year elapses in which
some man is not hanged on less evidence than baa been
addaoed in Cavonr of more than one of the claimants of
the authorship of the Lotten of Junioa. But we must
proceed with our list of publications.

In addition to these, the reader will find many ezeellaat
artieles upon the general question, or specialties eonneetad
with it, in the London Athenaeum, Bla«kwood's Mag., (see
Index to vola. L-1.,) and other periodicala. We would par-
ticularly inatanee a paper entitled. Sir PaiLTP Faaacn
not Junius, in the Lon. Gent. Mag., Feb. 1842, 166-16S;
and one by John Foater, entitled Who was Janios? (a re-

Ecleo. Mag., Feb. and April, 1813; repnb. In Poater'a Critical
Essays, Lon., 1866, vol. iL 72-166. We piesnme, however,
that the reader will be aatiafled with the bill of £are thas
presented to him; and, as a atimolus to hia inVaatigatioBS,
we can assure him that those who have moat thoroaghly
explored the field are generally thoae who avow themaalves
to be moat in the dark upon the snbjecL After eapousing
and warmly advocating half a dosen theories en the sub-

Uarria Nicolaa, after diligently poating for many yeara,
in mercantile-ledger atyie, the proa and eona in the Jaains

**So tkr ftom harioK any thewy of onrown on JnaloA idnSfty,

Juniua-diaooverera, the worthy knight, wroogkt op M a
high pitch of indignation by bis ill-snossss, wkiek fssesi

u an antiqnary, and the fact that the above wat written
aa lately as 1843, we may estimate the probability of auo-
eeaa in Junius-hunting, But Mr. Wade is qnite confident
that he haa bagged the game ; and perkapa he has.

Dr. John Mason Good oonclnded his inreatigations in
1812, in utter despair, and fifteen years later, only a few
weeks before bis death, writes to Mr. Barker, respecting this
perplexing question,

^ Many yeare afio, as yon perhape may be aware, lentertd aifiiU

•td into Mil rcMorek, mu btat M< muA in every directum. At
.^at time, howerer, the clainia of Sir PhlHp Francis bad not been
adTanc«l,atleutnatbefi>tethapnblle. Bnt bad ttaey been brought
Ibrward, the argomenta by which it Is obrioiu they may be met,
end many of which yon have younelf ably handlod, would, I tblnk,
haTe mooeeded to putting him as oompletoly out of the list as all
the other competitor! appear to be put whose fHends hare under-
taken to Intng tliem ftnward. The qneetion Is nererthelees one of
great tatercat aa well on the score of national history aa of lite-
rary curiosity. Yet, like many other detiderata, I am alTald It Is
likely to lie beyond the fiUhoming of any line and plummet that
wm be applied to It in cor daya"— <M. IS, 1826.

Charles Butler, one of the most acute of lawyers, and
peculiarly well skilled in legal and literary controreray,
and who had moreover examined this sabject with the per-
■onal asaistanoe of John Wilkes, the eoneapondent of
Junius himself, writes to Barker, in 1828,

** I am sorry I cannot communicate to yon any inlbrmatlon of
Importance on the subject In which you take io great an intereat.
1 hare only to add, that it ajipean to me involvM in aa great cb-
jcurtty (u seer."

And now — to deaeend to amaller things — we are encon-
nged by the oandonr of these eminent individnaii to emu-
late their franknesa; and we will be magnanimous enough
to own that our researches have placed us exactly in the
poaition of Messrs. Good, Nicolas, Butler, and some thoa-
ssdida of others in " porsuit of knowledge under diffioal-
ti«i :" — w« are altogether ignorant of the authorship of the
IiKTTBHB or JuHics. We have no claim to question the
veracity of this mysterious personage, who declared, "1
am the sole depository of my secret, and it shall die with
me." We have already qnoted a portion of the eloquent
comments of Dr. Oood upon Junius as a writer, but we are
not willing to conclude this article without citing some
further authorities on this point :

" 1 quote JVNlus in Engllab, as 1 woald Tsdtns or Liry In Latin.
I consider htan as a legitimate Knglish Claaalck."— JfatAAu's Pur-
inrita <^ Literature.

"Junius Imrst into notice with a blase of Impudence which haa
rarely glared upon the world before, and drew the rabble after him
aa a moDSter makes a show. When he had once provided for his
sairty by Impenetrable aecrecy, ho had nothing to combat bat tmth
and justice, enemlea whomhe knows to be feeble in the dark. Being
then at liberty to indulge himaelf in all the immuDlties of inrisi-
UUty, out of the reach of danger, he haa been bold; out of the
leach of shame, he has been confident. As a rhetorician, he haa
the art of persuading when he aeoonded deeire ; as a reaaoner, be
haa convinced thoae who had no doubt before ; aa a moralist, be haa
taught that virtue may disgrace ; and aa a patriot, be haa gratified
the mean by inanlta on the high. ... It Is not by bla liveliness of
lmM[ery, hla pungency of pertoda, or faia fertility of allnaion, that
he^taina the dta of London and the boora of Hlddleaez. Of atyle
and aentlment they take no cognizance." — Oa. Sajicxl Jonnson :
On (Ac Stiaure qfOie FttUiland Iilmdt, 1771.

The citation of this passage may remind the reader that
Ml emioent modem oritie has brought the names of John-
son and Junius into Juxtaposition in his remarks upon the
ehronologieal history of English style:

*' Adam Smith was iiearly the first who made deeper reesonlngi
and more exact, knowledge popular among us, and Johnson and
Jnnlus the flrat who again fluBUlarixed na with more glowing and
Bonorooa diction, and made as feel the tameneas and poorness of
the serious style of Addlaou and Swift." — Loan Jirrur: Oantrib.
to Bdin. Rexiiew, Lou, 18M, 77.

" How cornea thla Junioa to have broke throogh the cobweba of
the law, and to range uncontrolled, nnpnniahed, tbroos^ the land!
The myrmichnia of uieOourt have been long, and are a^, pureuing

hla attack upon the king, I own my blood ran cold. ... In abort,

Commons are but the sport of his fury. Were he a member of this
Houae, what might not be expected from his knowledge, hla firm-

OmtUmeu! — Aempt my thuiki for the speeiman yon
luTO aent me of Mr. AUibone's Critloal Dictionary of Eng-
liik Litenture. Tlie nndertaking doee honour to that gen-
tteman'a entarprlae ; and the manner in which, from the
(pecimen before me, (484 pages,] he appean to ezeente it,
doee honoor to hia intelligence, perspicuity, wide and
aecnrata research, impartiality, and good taste. When
completed, the work cannot fail to be a valnable library
companion and family book of reference. The beautiful
manner in which ^e work is got up is highly oreditable
to American typography.

etntUmtn: — The specimen of Hr. AUibone's Oiitioal
Dictionary of Aathots which yon sent me has given me a
high idea of the industry, exactness, and Tarioos reading
of the anthor. I think it promises to be one of the most
Taloable works of reference which hare been produced in
the present oentoiy. The plan appears to me excellent,
though diffioolt; but the diffionlty has l)een happily orvf-
eome by the anther's extraordinary research.

Truly yours, W. 0. BBTAHT.

OtKOemm : — ^I haTe examined, with great satisfaotion,
the part of Hr. AUibone's Dictionary of English Literature
which. has already been published, (4(4 pages.) The plan
appears to me an exceedingly good one : comprising, as it
does, a notice of all the English and American authors
down to the present time, with biographical incidents, an
enumeration of their sereral publications, and frequent
critical remarks.

An undertaking so comprehenslTe in its design requires
vast diligence and research. As far as the author has pro-
ceeded, he seems to have executed his task with ability,
good judgment, and success. When completed, the work
eannol fail to be of great utility to all readers who would
aoqnire a knowledge of books, and a most Talnable aoces-
sion to every library.

I am, gentlemen, vaiy nspectftiUy yours,

Otnltemtn : — The examination of articles under the letter
A, in Hr. Allibone's Critical Dictionary of British and Ame-
rican Authors, has led me to form a high estimate of the
comprehensiveness and the utility of his design, as well as
of the fearless and indefatigable industry, the candour, and
the general ability with which he is exeonting it His
work bids ihir to take a very high rank in its own peculiar
department. His plan has moreover a special attraction,
for it not only presents appropriAte information respecting
each author, hot also a general picture of the Uipression
which he may have made on the ^lublic and ot| Vi eiitio*-
I wish the deserved success to this great nnd«M , and

6entUm*it : — ^I should sooner have replied to your note
requesting my opinion of Allibone's Dictionary of Litera-
ture. I have rarely seen so large an amount of matter
condensed into so small a compass. The work is con-
ducted on what to me is an entirely novel principle, and
presents the reader not simply with the opinions of the
anthor, but with those of the best critics on every writer
whose character he discusses. This is opening the best
aonrces of information, while the original contributions of
the editor, wfaich connect the extracts together, are of a
piquant kind that gives vivacity to the discussion.

The index of subjects will form a sort of catalogva rai-
tomte, that cannot fail to make the book as useftil in a
bibliographical as in a biographical view. If the rest of the
work is as ably executed as that embraced under the 6rst
three letters of the alphabet — all I have seen — it cannot
lUl to be an important contribution to English literature.
I remain, genUemen, your ob't servant,

BotUm, Sept. 30, 1865.
Cmdmeii ; — I have received the volume yon were good
enough to send me, containing the first three letters of Hr
Allibone's " Critical Dictionary of English Literature, and
British and American Authors, living and deceased." The
plan of the work is extremely comprehensive, and requires
laborious tesearoh in the collection of the materials, and
great care and discrimination in putting them together.
As (ar as I liave been able to examine the specimen con-
tained in the volume sent me, Hr. Allibone is perfonuiug
his task with great fidelity and success. In giving, in the
words of the authors, the judgments which he cites ttttm
approved sources, he has made a great improvement over
former biographical dictionaries, which are, for the most
part, unaoknowledged compilations. Hr, AUibone's work
appears to be, to a very unusual degree, the result of ori-
ginal investigation, and, if completed as begun, will, I am
oonfldent, be found a most useAil work of reference, and
an important addition to the literary apparatus of our
langoage. I am, gentiemen, respectfully yours,

GentUmtn i — In judging of this work, it is necessary ts
keep in mind that the resolute Utie, "A Critical Dictionary
of English Literature," ushers in a work which the anthor
and publishers found themselves obliged to restrict to one
volume, containing, nevertheless, " thirty thousand biogra-
phies and literary notices." Having myself edited on
Encyclopssdia [Amui ieana], I am better able to give an opi-
nion upon some points thau I should have been otherwise;
and an examination of many of the larger articles under
the letters A, B, and C, has convinced me that the anthor
has brought to his task what may be called the Enoyelopm-
dic virtues, in a high degree — a painstaking love of detail
and conscientious accuracy, and an unvarying desire of
collecting ; a self-forgetting disposition to give what others
have done, and a certun taste and tact, which, in many
eases, alone can draw the proper line of admission and
on^ssion. I make no doubt that this work will be a wel-
come ^d to all that handle books — scholars, general read
era, and booksellers. Tonr ob't servant,

This work, it is believed, is the first attempt to marslial the Literature

Senerally received bibliographical Canons. The Librarian will welcome it,
onbt, as a Companion Volume to Brunet, Lowndes and Ebert, whilst to '
bookseller it will be a fiuthfnl guide to the American branch of EngUah U
rstore — a branch which on account of its rapid increase and rising importa
begins to force itself daily, more and more, upon his attention. Nor will
work be of less interest to the man of letters,' inasmuch as it comprises compl
tables of Contents to all the more prominent CoUectionB of the Americans, to;
Journals, Memoirs, Proceedings and Transactions of their learned Societii
and thus furnishes an intelligiole Key to a Department of American Bciea
activity, fai<iierto but imperfectly known and understood in Europe.

existing betveen man and the soil he lives upon. No one can Tentnre tS mrite
the history of America without a knowledge of her aboriginal langnages; and
nnimportant as snch researches may seem to men engaged in the mere bustling
occupations of life, they will at least acknowledge that €liege reoordg of the past,
like the stem-lights of a departing ship , are the last glimmers of savage life,
as it becomes absorbed, or recedes before the tide of dvilization. Dr. Ladewig
and Professor Turner hare made most diligent use of the public and private
collections in America, access to all of which was most liberally granted to them,
litis has placed at their disposal the labours of the American misnonaries, so
little known on this side of the Atlantic, that they may be looked upon almost
in the light of untrodden ground. But English and continental libraries have
also been ransa^ed, and Dr. Ludewig kept up a constant and active corre-
spondence with scholars of "the Fatherland," as well as with men of similar
tastes and pursuits in France, Spain, and Holland, determined to leave no stone
unturned, to render his labours as complete as possible. The volume, perfect
in itself, is the first of an enlarged edition of Vater's " lAngwirum totius Orbia
£ubcx/' The work has been noticed by the press of both continents, and we
may be permitted to refer particnlaiy to the foUowing —

OFIHIOVS or TKX PBXBS. Z

"This work, mainly the production of the late Herr Ludewig, a German
naturalized in America, is devoted to an account of the Literature of the ab-
original languages of that country. It gives an alphabetical list of the various
tribes of whose languages any record remains, and refers to the works, papers,
or manuscripts, in which such information may be found. The work has evi-
dently been a labour of love ; and as no pains seems to have been spared by
the editors, Prof. Turner and Mr. Trubner, in rendering the work as accnrat*
and complete as possible, those who are most interested in its contents will b€
best able to judge of the labour and assiduity bestowed upon it by author
editors, and publisher." — AtiietuBum, 5th April, 1858.

"This is the first instalment of a work which will be of the greatest vain*
to philologists ; and is a compendium of the aboriginal langnages of the America!
continents, and a digest of all the known literature bearing upon those Ian'
KUag^s. Mr. Triibner's hand has been engaged passim, and in nis pre£M;e h(
lays diaim to about one-sizth of the whole ; and we have no doubt that the eu'
conragement with which this portion of the work will b« received by scholars
will be such as to inspire Mr. Trubner with sufficient confidence to p«r«eve«
in his arduous and most honourable task." — The Oritic, 15th Dec, 1857.

"Few would believe that a good octavo volume would be' necessary to eX'
haust the subject, yet so it is, and this handsome, useful, and curious volmne
carefully compiled by Mr. Ludewig, assisted by Professor Turner, and editei
by the careful hand of Mr. Triibner, the .wdl -known publisher, will be sure t
find a place in many libraries." — Betifs Adcertiter, 6th Novt 1867.

"Tne lovers of American Linguistics will find in the work of Mr. Trubne
scarcely any point omitted, calculated to aid the comparative philologer in trac
ing the various langruages of the great Western Continent" — Oahotuf Jtfercwrj
Spth Jan., 1858.

"Only those deeply versed in philological studies can appreciate this boo
at its full value. It shows that there are upwards of seven nundred and fift
aboriginal American languages."— &cnt;eman'» Magatint, Febr., 1858.

"The work contains an account of no fewer than seven hundred differex
aboriginal dialects of America, wiUi an introductory chapter of bibliogn|>liici
information; and under each dialect is an account of any grammars or otbe
works illustrative of it."— The BookseUer, Jan., 1858.

"We have here the list of Monuments still existing of an almost ionnmerabl
series of languages and dialects of the American Continent The greater pa
of Indian gnunmars and vocabularies exist only in MS. and were compiled <^ei

'" pointed out where such are to befoimd, aa well as for enumerating those which
1 nave been printed, either in a separate shape, in collections, or in voyages and
'"travels, and elsewhere."— ieoiJer, lyii Sept., 1858.

' "I have not time, nor is it my purpose, to go into a review of this ad-
/mirable work, or to attempt to indicate the extent and value of its contents,
"it is, perhaps, enough to say, that apart from a concise but clear enumeration
*'^and notice of the various general philological works which treat, with greater
'"or less fulness, of American languages, or which incidentsdly touch upon their
"bibliography, it contains not less than 256 closely-printed octavo pages of biblio-
'^Waphical notices of grammars, vocabnlaries, etc., of the aboriginal languages of
"■Amerioa. It is a peculiar and valuable feature of the work Qiat not only the
!^tle9 of printed or published grammars or vocabularies are given, but also that
'Wpnblish^d or MS. works of these kinds are noticed, in all cases where they
'We known to exist, but which have disappeared among the debris of the suppressed
Convents and religious establbhments of Spanish America." — E. G. Squier, in
'a paper read before the American Ethnological Society, 12th Jan., 1858.
' "In consequence of the death of the author before he had finished the revisal
of the work, it has been carefully examined by competent scholars, who have also
made many valuable additions." — American Publishers' Circular, 80th' Jan., 1858.

"It contains 256 closely-printed pages of titles of printed books and manu-
jcripts, and notices of American aboriginal languages, and embraces references
4o nearly A\ that has been written or published respecting them, whether in
iipecial works, or incidentally in books of travel, periodicals, or proceedings of
•earned societies." — New York Herald, 29th Jan., 1858.

» "The manner in which this contribution to the Bibliography of American lan-
Jjuages has been executed, both by the Author, Mr. Ludewig, and the able
cirriters who have edited the work since his death, is spoken of in the highest .
Aerms by gentlemen most conversant with the subject" — American Historical

fe venx parler de la BibUotheca Glottica, ouvrage devant renfermer la Uste de
(ous ies dictionnaires et de toutes les grammaires des langues connues, tant
mprimes que manuscrits. L'editenr de cette precieuse bibliogpraphie est M. Nicolas
friibner, dont le nom est honorablement connu dans le monde orientaL Le
!>remier volume est consacre aux idiomes americaines; le second doit traiter
les langues de I'lnde. Le travail est fait aveo le soin le plus consciencienx, et
era honneur a M. Nicolas Triibner, surtout s'il poursuit son oeuvre avec le meme
jrdeur qu'il a mise a le commencer." — (L. Lion, de Mosny) Mevue de V Orient,
Fevrier, 1858.

"Mr. Triibner's most important work on the Bibliogpraphy of the aboriginal
anguages of America, is deserving of all praise, as eminently useful to those
vho study that branch of literature. The value, too, of the book, and of the
■aiirs which its compilation must have cost, will not be lessened by the con-
idaration that it is first in this field of linguistic literature." — Fetermann'a Geo-
vaphische Mittheilungen, p. 79. Feb. 1868.

"Undoubtedly this volume of Trabner's Bibliotheca Glottica ranks amongst
he most valuable additions which of late years have enriched our bibliographical
iteratore. To us, Germans, it is most gratifying that the initiative has been
iken by a German bookseller himself, one oi the most intelUgent and active
f our countrymen abroad, to produce a work which has higher aims than mere
ecaniary profit and that he, too, has laboured, at its production with his own
Knds ; because daily it is becoming a circumstance of rarer occurrence that, as
i this case, it is a bookseller's primary object to serve the cause of literature,
ither thtm to enrich himself."— fP. TromA) Bdrsenblatt, 4th Jan., 1858.

"In the compilation of the work the editors have availed themselves not
;ily of the labours of Yater, Barton, Duponcean, Grallatin, De Souza, and others ;
xt also of the MS. sources left by the missionaries, and of many books of which
'en the library of the British Museum is deficient and fiimish the fullest account
,' the literature of no less than 525 lang>uages. The value of the work, so

neoeaaary to the stady of etimology, is gretRly enhanced by the additira d
grood Index."— Berliner National-Zeitung, 22nd Not^ 1867.

"The name of the author to all those who are acquainted with hi« turn
works, and who know the^thorouehneas cmd profound character of hii iara
gations, is a sufficient Kuarantee that this work will be one of standard nUt
ity and one that will niUy answer the demands of the present time."— f<
holdfs Anaeiger, Jan., 18^.

"The chief merit of the editor and publisher is to have terminated the m
carefully and lucidly in contents and form, and thus to have established, an
and largely augmented edition of " Vitter't Linguartitn totius orbie tnder" li
Professor Jiilg's revision of 1847. In order to continue and complete thii m
the editor requires the assistance of all those who are acquainted with this a
branch of science, and we sincerely hope it may be accorded to him." — Magtt
/Or die Literatur dee AusUmdes, Nr. 88, 1868.

"As the general title of the book indicates it will be extended to th« k
g^ages of the other Continents in case it meet with a Civourablo ncefia
which we most cordially wish to it." — (A. F. Pott.) Freussische Jahrbidi
