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  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the

The  Bmder  wUl  pUate  to  cemeel  fp,  531-583  tf  June  Magazme. 


A  tiuik  of  greater  difficully  has  seldom  fallen  upon  tlie  Conductors  of 
K  Periodical  Publication  than  that  wliicli  the  Editors  of  the  Gcntlentaalk' 
Magazine  arc  now  called  upon  la  perform,  by  writing  a  Preface  to  the, 
HfKDRBDTii  Voltmie  of  their  labours. 

On  reaching  a  period  in  the  history  of  that  work,  which  has  very  feif 
|)r7ce<lents  in  the  annals  of  literature,  it  may  be  expected  from 
I^ditors  that  they  should  not  merely  prc§cnt  to  their  Patrons  aad 
Friends  an  account  of  the  progress  and  genera]  contents  of  the  former 
lolumes,  and  advert  to  the  public  and  private  principles  by  which  ail 
iu  Conductors  have  been  actuated,  but  that  they  should  speak  of  their 
present  plans  and  resources.  Were  this,  however,  all  which  i'l 
cuDibent  upon  them,  they  might  hope  to  acquit  themselves,  if  not  with 
credit,  at  least  witliout  disgrace,  for  to  the  pastthey  can  allude  with  pride, 
and  to  the  future  with  confidence  ;  but  they  are  aware  that  it  is  their  duty 
to  stale  the  honest  exultation  which  they  naturally  feci  at  tliL' lung  and  un- 
interrupted success  which  has  attcoded  the  Magazine, — to  notice  with 
delicacy  ihc  causes  which  have  presurved  it  frgm  the  fate  that  Iios  at- 
tended BO  many  of  its  contemporaries,— to  allude  to  the  grounds  upoB 
which  Uiey  build  their  hopes  that  it  is  destined  to  survive  for  another 
hundred  years, — and,  more  than  all,  to  express  the  deep  gratitude  with 
which  tliey  are  impressed  for  the  assistance  of  able  conlrihutors,  and  for 
the  large  share  of  patronage  by  which  their  exertions  have  been  cheered 
and  rewarded.  In  adverting  to  points  of  so  personal  a  nature,  egotism 
cannot  be  avoided ;  but  there  arc  occasions  when  silence  as  well 
tpecch  may  have  its  source  in  vanity,  and  if  ever  a  modest  allusion  to 
literary  services  be  justifiable,  it  is  when  gratitude  dictates  the  assurance 
tJiat  every  effort  will  be  used  to  retain  the  patronage  which  those  ser- 
vices have  acquired. 

The  able  Preface  to  the  "  Ueueral  Index  to  the  Gentleman's  Magazine 
Inm  1787  to  ISIS,*'  contaioa  so  satisfactory  a  history  of  the  work,  that 
it  is  only  necessary  to  rcfur  to  it  for  an  account  of  its  institution  and 
|iciigreas,  and  fur  the  names  uf  the  eminent  writers  who  origiitally  coii- 
Ihbutcd  to  ita  pages.     But  it  is  desirable  to  notice  briefly  the  valuable 


IT  PREFACE. 

information  upon  the  most  interesting  subjects  which  is  scattered 
through  the  work,  and  which^  it  may  be  said  without  vanity,  because 
the  fact  has  been  universally  admitted,  render  its  numerous  volumes  a 
general  repository  of  intelligence — a  kind  of  inexhaustible  store-house, 
as  it  were— of  materials  for  History^  Antiquities,  and  Biography,  even 
if  Science  and  Art  may  not  also  be  included. 

The  collections  for  History  may  be  divided  into  that  which  is  con- 
temporaneous with  the  respective  volumeS|  and  that  which  relates  to 
much  earlier  periods.  For  some  time  aHer  the  commencement  of  the 
Magazine,  its  character  was  more  political  than  at  present ;  and  the 
Tolunes  were  for  many  years  remarkable  for  the  Debates  of  both  Houses 
of  Parliament.  To  those  Debates  particular  allusion  is  made,  because 
tlia  (irentleman*s  Magazine  was  the  first  Journal  that  dared  to  risk  the 
punishment  of  a  breach  of  the  privilege  of  Parliament,  by  reporting  its 
proceedings,  thus  setting  the  example  of  enabling  Constituents  to  know 
how  their  Representatives  speak  and  act.  So  iinportant  waa  the  pre- 
cedent, that  Newspapers  soon  imitated  the  plan ;  and  when  more  accu- 
rate reports  were  given  by  the  daily  press  than  the  limits  of  the 
Magazine  rendered  possible,  the  system  was  adopted  of  stating  in  a 
very  abridged  form  the  most  material  occurrences  in  Parliament ;  but 
the  honour  of  being  the  first  person  who  incurred  the  dange^  of  fearful 
penalties  for  printing  the  Debates,  belongs  to  Cavb,  the  original  editor, 
and  which  is  alone  sufficient  to  entitle  his  memory  to  respect. 

From  the  appearance  of  the  first  number  of  this  Miacellaoy  to  the  pre- 
sent time,  scarcely  a  single  memorable  event,  of  any  kind,  domestic  or 
foreign,  has  occurred  of  which  a  notice  is  not  to  be  found ;  and  the  value 
of  such  a  general  record,  either  for  amusement  or  for  higher  purposes*  is 
too  obvious  to  be  insisted  upon. 

To  History  and  Antiquities,  and  more  especially  to  whatever  is  con^ 

nected  with  our  own  country,  a  large  proportion  of  each  volume  has 

been  dedicated.     Upon  various  abstruse  points  in  our  annals,  disserta* 

tions  and  facts,  more  or  less  valuable,  occur;  and  those  who  are  ac«- 

quainted  with  the  nature  of  historical  materials  can  testify  to  the  utility 

of  collecting  scattered  memorials,  many  of  which,  from  being  local, 

might  not  have  come   tp  the  knowledge  of  historians  but  for  the 

publicity  thus  given  to  them.     In  plates  and  descriptions  of  Antiquities, 

by  which  is  meant  ancient  buildings,  carvings,  seals,  rings,  medals,  and 

other  remains  of  former  ages,  the  Magazine  is  peculiarly  ridi,  it  being  a 

common  practice  for  the  individuals  by  whom  they  were  discovered,  to 

transmit  accurate  drawings  of  the  respective  articles,  most  of  which 

have  been  fully  illustrated  by  otlier  correspondents.     The  collection  on 


tM>  aubject  may  be  sarely  prunounccil  unrivalled,  and  fonni  data  fbr 
an  iiitf>orlaDt  vuliime.  On  ilie  Eultsidiarics,  or  as  ihey  are  termed 
"  hanilmaids,"  of  History,  namely.  Architecture,  lloraldry,  and  Genea- 
logy, AS  wvU  as  in  relation  to  the  Arts,  and  Early  Literature,  much 
inrvrniation  may  be  found ;  and  perhaps  one  of  the  most  interesting 
ilepartiDents  is  that  !n  which  light  is  thrown  on  the  descent  of  illustrioua 
families,  where  their  rise,  decline,  and  fall  are  traced,  affording,  in  many 
ioslances  striking  examples  of  the  iQEtability  of  human  greatness.  The 
Literary  Antiquary  has  always  found  a  source  of  amusement  and  instruc- 
tion in  tlie  numerous  papers  on  early  writers,  particularly  Poets,  the 
works  of  many  of  whom  have  been  elucidoted  in  the  most  satisfactory 
manner. 

It  is  for  Biography,  hoivcver,  that  the  value  of  the  Gentleman's  Maga- 
lineixinostreatarkable.  There  is  scarcely  an  eminent  individual  of  this 
Country,  about  whom  some  information  is  not  to  be  obtained  ;  and  it 
may  be  said  without  fear  of  refutation,  that  Uiere  is  not  a  literary  person 
ul'tke  Inst  or  present  century,  whose  life  could  be  properly  written  with- 
out reference  to  its  volumes.  Many  of  their  earliest  productions  are  con- 
Idined  ill  them,  and  the  poetical  niches  were  often  tilled  with  the  first 
lupinitiuns  of  a  Muse,  which  afterwards  soared  to  the  highest  pinnacle 
(if  ftune.  Unfurtunalely  the  authors  of  many  of  the  beautiful  pieces 
wbicli  occur  in  the  first  t«-enty  volumes  are  not  known,  but  the  merit 
of  the  articles  would  justify  (heir  being  collected  and  republished,  leaving 
it  to  critics  to  assign  them  to  the  great  names  to  which  tbey  unqucs- 
tioaobly  bL^oog.  The  Obituary  has  long  i)ossesscd  the  highest  re- 
putation ;  and  lite  best  evidence  of  its  value  is  the  copious  manner 
in  vbicb  the  statements  are  transferred  to  other  publications.  Front 
ruUtica  the  Magazine  has  gradually  receded ;  but  whenever  political 
opinions  are  expressed,  they  indicate  an  undeviiiling  adherence  to  Church 
and  State,  a  warm  attachment  to  the  Crown,  Laws,  Eslabhshments,  and 
Itdigian  of  our  country,  a  distrust  of  theoretical  experiments  upon  what 
the  fxpericnce  af ages  has  taught  us  to  reverence,  an  abhorrence  of  the 
fanciful  ravings  uf  enthusiasts,  religious  or  political,  and  a  de^nre  to 
prCMn've  unchanged  those  Institutions  of  our  forefathers,  under  which 
England  has  acquired  tlie  highest  renown  among  nations. 

To  lluwe  remarks  on  the  long  scries  of  past  volumes,  all  which  will  be 
added  is,  lliat  their  contents  are  rendered  available,  and  that  the  scattered 
infurmation  upon  any  one  subject  may  be  instantly  collected,  by  means  of 
die  hifjldy  valuable  Indexes,  not  only  fur  each  year,  but  which  arc  di- 
gested into  five  scpar.itc  volumes,  ably  classed,  and  arranged.  Willi

under  wfadae  sway  the  Empire  acqqired  the  most  brilliant  glory  in  war* 
and  experienced  perfect  tranquillity  and  happiness  in  peace*  Bat  in  com- 
mon vfith  the  rest  of  their  countrymen  they  are  cheered  in  then-  afflic- 
tion by  the  accession  of  a  Sovereign  who  possesses  to  the  fullest  extent 
English  feelings,  English  taste,  and  English  habits,  qualities  dear  to 
every  English  heart*  Throwing  aside  the  pomp,  and  dismissing  the 
l^uardst  with  which  custom  has  long  surrounded  the  royal  person, 
William  the  Fourth  trusts  himself  among  his  people ;  and  sensible 
that  Englishmen  love  their  Monarch,  not  as  a  secluded  deity,  but  as  a 
man- to  #hom  they  can  personally  offer  the  homage  of  their  loyalty  and 
attachment.  His  Majesty  gratifies  their  feelinjgs  and  his  own  by  fr^* 
quently  offering  himself  to  their  gaze,  appearing  by  this  conduct,  as 
well  as  by  every  other  act  since  the  Crown  devolved  upon  him,  to 
place  his  happiness  in  the  applause  of  his  subjects. 

Reposing  the  greatest  confidence  in  his  Ministers,  and  treading 
in  the  footsteps  of  his  Predecessor,  his  Majesty  justifies  our  reliance 
apon  his  wisdom,  firmness,  and,  above  all,  upon  his  desire  to  do  every 
tiling  to  merit  the  love  of  his  people.  The  political  atmosphere  is  con- 
sequently free  from  clouds  to  excite  alarm ;  and  the  reign  of  William 
ihe  Fourth  is  likely  to  rival  his  revered  Father's  in  popularity,  and 
to  be  no  less  distinguished  than  that  of  his  illustrious  Brother. 

The  Editors  flatter  themselves  that  the  venerable  age  which  the 
Gentlkman*s  Magazine  has  attained  will  be  considered  evidence  of 
kB  worth,  and  secure  the  respect  which  it  has  hitherto  enjoyed ;  that, 
added  to  the  wisdom  and  prudence  which  are  ascribed  to  an  honourable 
senility^  the  subsequent  volumes  will  exhibit  all  the  vigour  of  an  intellect 
unimpaired  by  time,  and  fully  capable  of  directing  the  resources  at  its 
disposal ;  and  they  close  this  Preface,  by  pledging  themselves  that  na 
labour  shall  be  considered  too  great  to  deserve,  and  that  no  reward  wiR 
be  deemed  so  gratifying  as  to  retain,  the  approbation  and  snpport  of 
their  numerous  Subscribers  and  Contributor.

MINOR    CORRESPONDENCE. 


VuTOM  obtenrm,  «  In  a  nuuiufcript  at 
Oxford,  written  by  an  acquaintauce  of  Mr. 
Hampden,  Treasurer  of  the  Navy,  (gFvndson 
of  the  patriot,  and  who  was  living  within 
forty  years  of  his  ancestor,)  it  is  stated,  that 
Johnnampden  died  qf  a  mortification  from 
the  wound  received  at  Chalgrave  Field. 
Comparing  this  with  a  statement  in  your 
Magazine,  and  with  a  re|>ort  that  a  princi- 
pal person  present  at  the  examination  doet 
910/  believe  the  body  dug  up  at  Hampden  to 
have  been  that  of  the  patriot,  I  cannot  but 
entertain  a  wish  that  one  or  other  of  the 
parties  present  on  the  occasion  alluded  to 
would  candidly  acknowledge  the  error  into 
which  the  narrative  so  widely  circulated  has 
a  tendency  to  lead  the  public  and  posteritr. 
The  body  feund>  to  remarkably  perfect  as  is 
described,  could  not  have  been  that  of  a  per- 
son dying  as  has  been  related." 

An  old  SuDSCKiBKR  says,  <<  In  the  new 
editinn  of  the  very  neat '  Annual  Peerage,' 
the  Bishop  of  Sodor  and  Mann  is  •  stated 
to  be  '  nut  a  Peer  of  Parliament,'  seem-, 
ing  to  imply  that  he,  like  the  Scotch  and 
Irish  Peers,  though  not  holding  a  seat  in 
Parliament,  is  yet  a  Peer.  This,  however, 
is  not  the  case.  The  Scotch  and  Irish  Peers 
may,  at  any  mimient,  be  called  by  election 
to  a  seat  in  the  House  of  Lords ;  but  the 
Bishop  of  Sodor  and  Mann  could,  in  no 
GasualtVf  be  so  called.  In  fact,  our  Bishops 
sit  in  PaHiament  not  as  Bishops  merely,  but 
as  Barons  by  .tenure  of  their  lands.  The 
colonial  Bishops  are,  very  properly,  not 
styled  Lord  Bishops  by  the  editor/' 

J.  S.  B.  remarks,  *'  It  is  well  known  that, 
previously  to  the  Marriage  Act  in  1764, 
marriages  were  solemn! rfd  at  private  Chapels 
and  elsewhere ;  that  there  was  a  Chapel  in 
Well-walk,  ancither  at  Koightsbridge,  a  third 
in  Duke-street,  Westminster,  &c.  ike.  where 
marriages  were  performed;  and  he  is  de- 
sirous of  learning  where  the  Registers  of 
these  Marriages  are  now  to  be  found.  That 
of  Duke-street  is  known  to  be  in  private 
hands,  and  so  perhaps  are  many  others ;  hut 
as  they  no  doubt  contain  entries  of  Mar- 
riages and  Baptisms,  the  proof  of  which 
may  be  frequently  required,  it  is  requested 
that  those  of  your  readers,  who  can  give  in- 
telligence of  any  of  them,  will  have  the 
goodness  to  do  su." 

Mr.  T.  J.  Bruckett  writes,  •*  1  am  per- 
fectly satisfied  with  Mr.  Broughton's  expla- 
nation (p.  488).  I  uufortunately  still  retain 
my  original  opinion  as  to  the  use  of  the 
word  fool ;  hut  whether  1  am  correct  or  not 
must  be  left  to  the  determination  of  others. 
In  compiling  a  Local  Glossary,  it  is  very 
difficult  to  decide  on  the  insertion  or  omiMion 
o/the  differeot  />rovinciBJ  words  that  present 


themselves.  The  plan  suggested  by  Mr. 
Broughton,  even  if  practicable,  would  not, 
I  fear,  remove  the  perplexity.  I  hail  with 
pleasure  the  prospect  which  is  held  out  to 
us  of  a  StaflFordshire  Glossary." 

Mr.  Carpcmtes,  in  reference  to  onr  re- 
view of  his  «  Scripture  Difficulties,"  (De- 
cember, p.  588,)  replies,  *'  I  should  have 
thought  it  impossible  for  any  person  to  fail 
in  attributing  the  remarks  on  1  Cor.  vi.  to 
their  real  author,  considering  the  mode  In 
which  I  have  introduced  them :  *  The  ob- 
scurity of  this  passage  has  given  birth  U» 
numerous  conjectures  as  to  the  meaning  of 
the  apostle,  which  are  thus  ably  summed 
up  by  Mr.  Bloomfiekl.'  Then  follows  Mr. 
Bloorofield's  note,  at  the  close  of  which  b 
a  direct  reference  to  Bloom£eld  in  loco" 

A  CoRRUPOMDftNT  inquires  for  "uarti- 
calari  relative  to  Captain  Pretty,  who  ia 
thus  mentioned  in  Clarendon's  Memoirs, 
vol.  II.  pt.  1,  p.  6,  viz.  <  eight  full  troops 
of  horse  under  tlie  command  of  Captain 
Pretty.'  He  is  probably  the  same  person 
who  is  meotionea  in  the  critical  review  of 
the  State  Trials  as  Colonel  Pretty  at  the 
Castle  of  DuMin  in  1 6'4.9.  See  'Trial  of  the 
Regicides.  There  is  a  pedigree  in  the  He- 
ralds'-office  of  a  fiimily  of  the  name,  seated 
for  many  generatitms  at  Medbome  (query^  in 
what  county  ?)  the  chief  branch  of  which 
terminates  in  an  heiress^  who  married  into 
the  family  of  Porter." 

C.  S.  B.  savs,  <'  About  the  period  of  the 
expulsion  of  the  Jesuits  from  France  (1764), 
there  were  books  publicly  burnt  at  Paris,  the 

Rroductions  of  Bassambaum,  Saurei,  and 
iolina.  The  object  of  this  inquiry  is  to 
ascertain  the  exact  date  of  this  transaction, 
as  it  would  probably  tlirow  light  on  the 
much  debated  question  of  *  who  was  the  au- 
thor of  Junius?  '  " 

Our  Ccinespondent  in  Dec.  p.  499,  who  is 
anxious  for  some  information  respecting  the 
square  piece  worn  on  the  chest  by  the  war- 
riors in  the  Bayeux  Tapestry,  is  referred  to 
vol.  I.  of  Dr.  Meyrick's  Critical  Inquiry, 
where  he  will  find  what  he  seeks. 

If  our  Correspondent  the  Tourist,  who 
writes  from  Bath,  has  more  in  reserve  for 
us,  we  sliall  be  glad  to  receive  it,  in  ordrr  to 
give  a  longer  portion  at  a  time. 

We  beg  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  a 
communication  from  Candidus,  for  which  we 
are  obliged.  We  think,  however,  that  wa 
may  not  have  the  opportunity  afforded  us,  of 
adopting  his  suggestions.

6 


Ijjt  and  HVtimgf  of  Cbrui(>i^ur  Marlowe. 


[Jan. 


whichever  %tmt  it  ma^,  simply  signify 
either  that  Marlowe  did  honour  u>  the 
profession  of  a  dramatist  by  the  plays 
be  was  author  ot,  or  to  that  of  the  a<s 
tors  by  the  excellent  parts  he  *'  graced" 
them  with.  A  curious  extract  from 
Greene's  book»  in  which  the  above 
passage  occurs,  I  intend  to  print  in  a 
subsequent  |iart  of  this  article,  when 
it  will  be  seen  that  it  tends  decisively 
to  prove,  by  the  terms  in  which  it  speaks 
of  the  players,  and  the  distinction  it 
draws  between  them  and  his  quondam 
associates,  that  Marlowe  was  t§oi  one 
of  the  fraternity.  To  this  may  be 
added  the  circumstance,  that  Heywood, 
who  must  have  been  well  acquainted 
with  his  history,  and  in  the  prologue 
to  the  "  Jew  of  Malu,*'  styles  him 
"  the  best  of  poets,*'  gives  no  hint 
whatever  of  his  having  been  an  actor, 
so  that  the  idea  may  be  considered  as 
altogether  erroneous. 

Tnat  Marlowe  came  to  a  disastrous 
and  untimely  end,  is,  I  regret  to  say, 
put  beyond  a  doubt.  The  exact  time 
and  place  of  this  occurrence,  with  the 
name  of  the  person  who  slew  him,  had 
escaped  the  curious  research  of  all 
preceding  inquirers,  and  for  the  hint 
which  helped  me  to  these  pieces  of 
information  I  was  indebted  to  a  pu- 
ritanical work  by  W.  Vaughan,  called 
"  The  Golden  Grove  Moralized." 
1600,  ISmo.  which,  enumerating  the 
judgments  that  have  overtaken  blas- 
phemers and  atheists,  has  this  descri(v 
tion  of  poor  Marlowe's  catastrophe : 

"  Not  inferiour  to  these  wu  one  Chris- 
topher Marlowe,  by  profession  •  play- maker, 
who,  at  it  it  reportnL,  about  7  yeeres  s^goCi 
wrote  a  booke  against  the  Trinitie.  But, 
see  the  effects  of  God's  instice  !  It  so  hap- 
'nad  that,  at  Detfiird,  a  little  village  about 
three  miles  distant  ^om  London,  as  be 
■leant  to  stab  with  his  ponyard  one  named 
Ingram*  that  had  inuit^  him  thither  to  a 
leaste»  and  was  then  playing  at  tables,  be, 
quickly  perceyning  it,  so  auoided  the  thrust, 
toat,  withall,  drawing  out  his  dagger  for 
his  defence,  hee  stab*d  this  Marlow  into  the 
eye  in  such  sort,  that^  his  braynes  comming 
out  at  the  dagger's  point,  he  shortlie  after 
dyed.  Thus  doth  God,  the  true  executioner 
of  diuine  iostice,  worke  the  ende  of  impious 
atheists." 

The  mention  of  Deptford  in  this  ac- 
count induced  me  to  imagine  that  some 
record  of  Marlowe's  burial  mieht  pos- 
sibly be  in  existence  there,  though  1 
confess  that  my  expectations  upon  the 
subject  were  not  very  sanguine.    My 


enauiry  was  attended  with  success  as 
will  appear  by  the  following  tratiscript 
from  the  church-books  made  in  Fe- 
bruary 1820: 

*'  Extract  from  the  Register  of  Bartab 
n  the  Farish  of  St.  Nicholas,  Deptford  : 

*"  1st  June,  1598.  Christopher  Marlow, 
slaine  by  Ffrancis  Archer.' 

**  A  True  Copy — D.  Jones,  Minister." 

Vaughan  therefore,  it  appears,  was 
right  as  to  the  place  and  time  of  Mar- 
lowe's death,  tliough  he  seems  to  have 
been  mistaken  in  the  name  of  his  an* 
tagonist.  This  entry  affords  sufficient 
contradiction,  if  any  were  needed,  of 
Aubrey's  blundering  assertion  that  it 
was  Ben  Jonson  who  slew  Marlowe,* 
an  imputation  which  Gifford,  in  his 
life  of  Ben,  thinks  it  necessary  to  re* 
fute ;  but  though  his  conclusion  is  cor- 
rect, he  forms  it  upon  erroneous  pre- 
mises, and  in  detecting  Aubrey's  mis- 
take, falls  into  one  himself,  by  assert- 
ing that  it  was  impossible  for'  Jonson 
to  kill  Marlowe  in  IdQd,  because  Mar<- 
lowe  died  "  at  least  two  years  before 
that  period." 

1  hope  to  be  pardoned  for  thus  put- 
ting in  my  claim  to  the  luck,  such  as 
it  IS,  of  discovering  what  had  eluded 
the  vigilance  of  far  more  acute  and 
industrious  enquirers,  because  the  edi- 
tor of  Marlowe's  Works,  1826,  although 
he  made  use  of  the  information,  hud 
not  the  fairness  to  mention  the  source 
whence  he  derived  it ;  while  in  Mr. 
Singer's  reprint  of  **  Hero  and  Lean- 
der, '  1821,  the  fact  is  noticed,  and 
candidly  acknovvledsed  to  be  borrowed 
from  the  brief  outline  of  this  article 
which  I  have  previously  alluded  to. 
It  was  not  a  little  amusing,  after  tlie 
above  certificate  of  Marlowe's  death 
and  burial  had  been  obtained,  but 
previously  to  its  publication,  to  find 
the  Monthly  Reviewers  gravely  main- 
tainine  that  no  such  person  had  ever 
existed,  but  that  the  name  was  niercly 
one  assumed  by  Shakspeare  at  the  out- 
set of  his  career ;  a  theory  which  seems 
to  have  been  a  great  favourite  with 
them,  as  thev  sported  it  more  than 
once.  See  Monthly  Review,  vols.  89 
and  93.  James  Brouohtom.

other almost  condemns  its  use  alto- 
J tether;  even  fire  and  fresh  air  have 
ound  their  enemies  among  our  Pro-

druffs  have  repeatedly  been  prescribed 
in  the  same  disorders,  and  with  an  ap- 
parent similarity  of  result;  while  in 
reality,  as  I  have  often  discovered,  a 
change  in  the  state  of  the  air  has  been 
the  effective  agent  in  the  recovery  of 
the  patient.  All  this  contradictory 
practice  will  be  found  to  vary  inversely 
as  Physic  shall  be  founded  on  rational 
views  of  Physiology  and  on  a  sound 
practical  knowledge  of  science. 

I  should  therefore  suggest  the  forma- 
tion of  Medical  Colleges,  bearing  the 
title — Collegium  Facultatis  Mk- 
DiciNiB.  In  these  there  should  be 
lectures  given  in  Anatomy,  Physiolo^', 
Surgery,  Chemistry,  Botany,  compris- 
ing the  medicinal  properties  of  species ; 
Pharmacy,  Meteorology,  embracing 
the  Influence  of  Air  on  iJisorders,  Pes- 
tilence, and  Epidemia;  Theory  and 
Practice  of  Medicine,  Forensic  Medi- 
cine ;  and,  if  required,  on  the  particular 
branches,  as  Opthalmology,  and  so  on. 
Such  a  College  should  be  instituted  in 
every  large  town  where  there  is  an 
hospital,  to  which  the  Students  should 
have  acceu,  subject  to  certain  regula-

Mr.  U RBAN,        Richmond,  Jan^  7* 

THE  Obituary  of  the  late  Mr.  Parke 
(vol.  zciz.  ii.  p.  568)  does  not 
contain  any  mention  of  his  critical 
judgment  in  Pictures ;  yet  he  was  re- 
garded as  a  most  correct  detector  of  a 
spurious  painting.  The  manner  of  the 
distinguished  old  masters  he  had  rigidly 
ftudi«3,  and  readily  could  decide  upon 
the  genuiness  of  a  picture,  even  in  in- 
stances where  masters  sometimes  differ 
from  themselves.  Numerous  are  the 
compositions  of  merit  which  Mr.  Parke 
was  the  instrument  of  adding  to  the 
collections  in  England. 

1  notice  in  the  Obituary  the  follow- 
ing passage: 

<<  About  the  tame  period  (1770),  Garrick 
engaged  hitn  at  Drury-Lane  Theatre,  on  the 


most  liberal  ternu ;  and  be  and  Garrick  ever 
afterwards  lived  on  tlie  moat  intimate  and 
friendlj  footing." 

Perhaps  this  is  too  strongly  ex- 
pressed :  but  a  cordial  intercourse  may 
DC  said  to  have  Ions  subsisted ;  and  Mr. 
Parke,  beyond  airdoubt,  merited  by 
his  attachment  the  regard  of  Mr.  Gar- 
rick. One  little  incident  may  deserve 
mention :  Mr.  Garrick,  upon  his  eo- 
terinp;  at  the  suge-door,  on  a  particular 
evening,  when  he  was  to  appear  in  the 
character  of  Ranger,  nassea  Mr.  Pbrke, 
who  stood  in  one  of  the  inner  passages, 
without  at  first  noticing  him.  Upon 
Mr.  Garrick  turning  suddenly  round, 
Mr.  Parke,  bowing,  addressed  him, 
saying,  *'  That  it  had  been  his  object 
«4o  obtain  a  passage  to  the  pit,  across 
the  stage,  that  Mrs.  Paike  mi^ht  avoid 
the  pressure  of  the  multitude  in  all  the 
approaches  to  the  pit."  "  That  I  fear 
(replied  Mr.  Garrick)  cannot,  in  fair- 
ness to  the  public,  be  jjermitted.  But 
take  my  arm,  Mrs.  Parke,  and  let 
Strickland  follow,*'  alluding  to  Mr. 
Parke  and  the  character  which  gives 
the  title  to  the  comedy ;  and,  proceed- 
ing towards  his  private  box,  he  called 
to  the  keeper  to  place  Mrs.  Paike,  and 
any  company  she  might  wish  to  join 
her,  in  the  box  ;  add  ins,  "  when  Liord 
Rivers  comes,  let  his  Lordship  be  ac- 
commodated, with  my  respectful  re- 
gards, in  the  larf^e  box,  which  will 
be  more  commodious  to  Mrs.  Beck- 
fnrd  and  her  fair  friend  from  Turin.'* 
Mrs.  Parke  was,  on  other  occasions, 
accommodated  with  the  same  indul- 
gence. She  was  at  this  time  in  the 
prime  of  life,  and  noted  by  Garrick  as  a 
striking  likeness  of,Marte  Antoinette, 
the  young  Queen  of  France. 

It  is  possible  that  The  Sutpiciout 
Husband  may  not  have  been  the  co- 
medy of  the  night  in  question,  but  it 
must  have  been  a  subject  of  converse 
at  the  time,  as  the  allusion  to  Strick^ 
land,  by  Mr.  Garrick,  was  related  by 
Mr.  Parke  as  a  mark  of  the  pleasantry 
and  vivacity  of  the  Kreat  actor,  who 
was  prone  to  acts  of  kindness  when- 
ever an  opportunity  offered.  And  the 
writer  of  this  article  heard  him  say,  at 
his  table  at  Hampton  Court,  '*  that 
the  success  attendant  on  his  establish- 
ment of  '  The  Theatrical  Fund,'  had 
added  down  to  his  pillow,  almost  be- 
yond any  other  act  of  his  life."

forth  the  sympathy  of  the  feeliDghearty 
how  much  deeper  should  be  the  senti- 
mciit»  when  the  slake  is  for  such  higher 
interests  as  the  will  of  God  and  a 
future  life  preseoL  Whoever  veotureSf 
either  from  a  perverted  will,  or  an  un« 
happy  course  of  thought,  to  put  forth 
senumcnts  interfering  with  all  that 
caa  sustain  the  soul  in  affliction,  and 
carry  it  triumphantly  over  death,  must 
excite  the  pity,  and  call  forth  the  earnest 
counteractmg  effort,  of  every  lover  of 
his  felloiv  man. 

Grave  as  these  thoughts  appear,  they 
are  called  forth  by  a  recent  publication, 
which,  even  in  ihis  age  or  the  march 
of  intellect,  has  taken  a  stride  beyond 
all  the  monsters  of  Swift's  prolific  ima- 
gination ;  "  The  Apologv  lor  Moham- 
med the  Illustrious  I  by  Mr.  Higgins,'* 
cannot  fail  to  excite  wonder  in  all  who 
have  ever  read  the  Ottoman  Annals, 
or  who  know  their  own  Scriptures. 
To  those  who  have  read  either,  tne  pre- 
sent publication  may  be  safely  com- 
roitiea  without  danger;  but  human  in* 
tellect  is  now  so  advancing,  that  no 
one  will  blame  a  short  succinct  glance 
at  some  of  the  most  extraordinary  and 
self-confuted  assertions  with  which 
the  whole  work  abounds.  Far  from 
meaning  any  offence  to  Mr.  Higgins, 
no  one  esteems  him  more  sincerely 
than  myself,  as  far  as  the  amenities  of 
life  may  be  safely  carried ;  for,  as  con* 
cerns  man  to  man,  I  believe  be  desires 
sincerely  to  do  them  service.  Put  him 
in  charge  of  the  roads,  to  take  care  of 
the  affairs  of  an  hospital,  he  will  spend 
hours  and  days  to  set  matters  right, 
regardless  of  all  personal  trouble ;  and 
if  Mr.  Higgins  would  let  the  world 
know  no  more  of  him  than  in  these 
and  similar  actions,  he  would  deserve 
and  receive  the  gratitude  of  hundreds. 

Indignant  as  every  true  lover  of  the 
Christian  faith  must  feel  at  so  unne- 
cessary an  attack  as  that  levelled  by 
Mr.  Higgins,  I  scarcely  think  I  should 
have  ta^n  up  my  pen,  had  he  not 
chosen  to  inscribe  his  objectionable 
work  to  the  Royal  Aaiatic  Society, 
every  member  of  which,  I  doubt  not» 
will  consider,  as  well  as  myself,  that 
Mr.  Hifigins  has  taken  a  most  unusual 
and  unjustifiable  liberty  by  so  doing. 
I  for  one  beg  leave  to  disclaim  any 
kind  of  approval  or  participation  with 
a  single  statement  in  the  pamphlet : — 
in  fact,  I  know  it  to  be  full  of  errors, 
and  that  if  the  parts  are  substracted 
which  are  not  reasonings,   hot  Mr. 


[Aia 


Higgina*9  gloates  upon  the  piaeticet  of 
Christians  aiKi  Mussulmeo,  matters  of 
no  relevancy  as  argument,  the  facts  oo 
which  ht  groundshis  assertions  can  be 
eaaily  proved  to  be  mistakes  and  mis* 
concepUbns;  in  fact  every  statement, 
which  the  pages  of  Mr.  Higgins's  ex* 
traordibary  pamphlet  contains,  may  be 
readily  confuted. 

Throughout  the  whole  extent  of  the 
observations  upon  the  life,  missioiit 
and  actions  of  Muhammed,  contained 
in  the  lengthy  passa^  from  p.  1  to 
p.  4S,  not  one  tangible  point  ia  ad- 
duced which  serves  to  prove  a  single 
fact.  All  is  upon  anpposiutious  grounds, 
and  all  deals  in  generalities,  which 
make  nothing  either  for  or  against  the 
Impostor.  He  was  gifted  with  a  grace* 
fal  person ;  he  was  faithful  to  Cadijah 
his  first  wife,  for  the  twenty-two  years 
of  their  union ;  he  was  a&ble  and 
kind  to  hia  followers  and  friends. 
Granted  that  all  these  things  are  true, 
it  is  equally  true,  that  giving  the 
full  sway  to  his  unbridled  lust  the 
same  person  afterwards  penned  expresf 
chapters  for  the  Koran,  to  frame  an 
excuse  for  indulging  his  own  boundless 
sensuality,  allowing  to  himself  an  unli- 
mited number  of  women,  and  declaring 
that  it  was  a  propensity  which  he 
could  not  controul ;  he  further  pre* 
vailed  upon  his  freedman  and  adopted 
son  Zaid,  to  repudiate  his  wife  the 
beautiful  Zuuat,  whom  Muhammed 
then  took  to  his  bed,  a  step  considered 
incestuous,  and  which  gave  offence  to 
many  of  bis  followers. 

Having  ascertained  the  extent  of  his 
influence  over  the  mind  of  his  fol- 
lowers, what  shall  we  say  to  the  hu* 
manity  which  made  the  aword  the  in* 
strument  of  conversion,  and  which 
spread  the  flames  of  war  and  blood- 
shed over  the  whole  East ;  rendering 
it  imperative  on  bis  followers  to  con* 
vert  oy  the  sword  every  surrounding 
stale ;  whereby  Arabia,  Persia,  Syria, 
Egypt,  Armenia,  and  in  fact  the  whole 
E«st,  became  one  scene  of  blood  and 
devastation  1  To  incite  his  deluded  fol* 
lowers  to  these  enterprises,  he  de- 
clares in  the  3d  chapter  of  the  Koran, 
section  viii.  that  "  whoever  falls  in 
battle  their  sins  are  forgiven ;  at  the 
day  of  judgment  their  wounds  shall  be 
resplendent  as  vermilion,  and  odori- 
ferous as  musk ;  the  loss  of  his  limbs 
shall  be  replaced  by  the  winga  of 
angels  and  of  cherubim !''

hii  own  iinp"iency  over  the  powers  of 
nalure,  artfully  eluded  ihe  (juestion,  hy 
saying,  that  a*  the  miiacle*  of  Jesus 
had  not  worked  conversion,  lo  he  was 

evidence  from  his  own  inouih  of  the 
divine  mission  of  our  Saviour,  and  of 
(he  imposture  practlaed  by  himself 

Nothing  can  be  more  contrary  to 
fact,  than  the  assertion  so  boldly  made 
by  Mr.  Hicgins  at  page  gg.  that  each 
Musiulman  for  his  own  person  is  in- 
vested with  the  character  of  a  prietl, 
and  that  ihe  Miihammedan  religion  is 
desliiuie  of  priesthood  I  lilamim  hat 
ill  prieilhood. 

The  Sultnn  is  pontiff',  legislator, 
and  judge,  as  succeswr  lo  the  Caliphg; 
he  11  iiyled  the  Siiltandin  or  the 
proleclor  of  the  faith ;  the  Padishah- 
islam  or  the  Emperor  of  Islamism  ; 
and  TiUullah  ot  the  Shadow  of  Uod. 
There  arc  also  three  cluiei  of  minla- 
(ersof  religion,  the  Iniacem* or  priests, 
the  Shieks  oi  ordinary  preachers,  the 
Katibt  or  readers,  or  deacons.  Each 
individual  Mussulman  has  no  further 
privilege  than  that  of  penonsi  prayer, 
which  mmt  alivays  be  oll'crc<l  towards 
the  Caaba,  a  privile^  which,  to  the 
■hanie  of  most  Christians,  they  are  far 
mon  observant  of,  than  the  tatter  are 
towards  the  injunciioiu  and  exhoria- 
tiuni  of  the  purest  and  subliineit  pre- 
cepts ever  given  lu  man. 

As  for  the  parallel  which  Mr.  HIg- 
gins  has  ventured  la  draw  between 
the  descriptions  of  ihe  book  of  Revela- 
tions, which  are  spiritual,  and  luch  an 
God  only  could  disclose,  and  the  sen-

tions.  Whoever  will  take  the  pains  of 
casting  his  eyes  over  the  doctrine  and 
tenets  of  Budhism,  published  bj  Ac- 
kermann,  from  their  own  writings, 
will  be  ablc'to  trace  every  single  linea- 
ment of  Muhammed*s  rewards,  of  his 
houses,  and  his  paradise. 

As  for  the  broad  assertion,  that 
"like  the  Gospel  of  Jesus,  the  Koran 
is  the  poor  man's  friend,'*  all  that  can 
be  said  on  the  subject  is,  that,  if  it  be 
true  that  every  man  in  authority, 
throughout  the  whole  compass  of  the 
Muhammedan  faith,  toully  disbe- 
lieves and  acu  contrary  to  its  pre- 
cepts,) for  it  is  upon  record,  in  the  de- 
tails of  every  traveller,  that  there  is 
scarcely  a  Mussulman  town  wherein 
the  wretched  inhabitants  are  suffered 
to  taste  the  common  fruits  of  their  la- 
bour,) it  is  certainly,  among  the  most 
singular  of  facts  how  any  reflective 
mind  can  put  forward  sucn  sweeping 
assertions  upon  facts  which  the  expe- 
rience of  all  ages  contradicts.  Ask  the 
victims  of  Ibraham,  of  Muhammed 
Vasha,  of  Dgirrar,  and  all  the  tyran- 
nical despots  of  Asia,  in  what  district 
the  observance  of  these  mild  injunc- 
tions are  to  be  found  I 

Of  the  same  character  is  the  asser- 
tion in  page  44,  which  states  the  su- 
.pcrior  morality  of  most  Muhammedan 
nations  over  that  of  Christian  ones. 
Now  were  any  one  cit^  in  England  to 
practise  the  habits  which  are  common 
to  the  whole  Muhammedan  world  for 
one  month  only»  they  would  be  ol>- 
liged  to  fly  their  country,  or  suffer  a 
just  and  merited  death  by  its  violated 
laws. 

Again,  in  page  58,  Mr.  Higgins 
states  that  the  enlightened  Achbar 
sent  an  embassy  in  1595  to  the  King 
of  Portugal,  to  request  that  mission- 
aries mi^ht  be  sent  to  instruct  him  in 
the  Christian  religion,  in  order  that, 
after  he  had  fully  inquired,  he  might 
choose  the  religion  which  appeared  to 
him  to  be  the  true  one ;  they  were 
sent,  and  after  comparing  their  reason- 
ings, Achbar  chose  the  Muhamme- 
dan faith.  Therefore,  Mr.  Higgins 
reasons,  "  it  is  very  evident  that  the 
followers  of  the  prophet  obtained  as 
decided  a  victory  by  tneir  pens,  as  they 
had  previously  done  by  their  arms. 
Prideaux  cannot  conceal  his  vexation.'* 
Along  pragraph  follows,  in  Mr.  Hig- 

S'ns's  hasty  and  I  had  almost  said  un- 
ir  mode   of  reasoning,   wherein    a 


sneer  and  a  sarcasm  a^inst  the  learn- 
ed and  exemplary  Pndeaux  is  unne- 
cessarily introduced,  and  superadded  to 
an  assertion;  after  which  Mr.  Hig* 
gins  proceeds,  ''This  whole  story  it 
very  remarkable.  When,  among  Chris- 
tians, shall  we  meet  with  an  example 
of  liberality  equal  to  this  of  the  Mo- 
sul?" &c.     Now  all  this  would  per- 
naps  have  told  for  Mr.  Higgins,  as  far 
as  the  example  of  Achbar  wenr»  if 
Achbar  had  remained  a  Mussulman ; 
but  Achbar,  if  he  became  a  Mussul- 
man, did  not  remain  one ;  he  aposta- 
tized again,  and  actually  became  so  im- 
bued with  portions  of  the  same  learn- 
ing Mr.   Higgins  is  pursuing,  that, 
admiring  the  I'antheism  of  the  Bra- 
minical  incarnations,  in  preference  to 
Muhammed's  Koran,  he  finished  by 
declaring  himse(fa  god  I     And  if  Mr. 
Higgins  will  travel  to  Agra,  he  will 
be  able  to  read  the  monstrous  preten- 
sions inscribed  at  the  present  hour  on 
the  beautiful  mausoleum  which   in- 
closes his  remains.     As  to  the  compa^ 
rison  between  the  conduct  of  Chris- 
tians in  war  with  that  of  the  Turks  in 
the  conquest  of  Greece,  and  especially 
of  Constantinople;  in  what  Mr.  Hig- 
gins calls  leaving  them  in  possession  of 
their  lands,  &c.  &c.  a  more  lamentable 
historical  mistake  never  was  made  by 
any  writer ;  for  it  is  expressly  on  re- 
cord,  that  "  Muhammed    made    his 
public  entry  about  the  eighth  hour, 
that  is,  about  two  in  the  afternoon  of 
the  30th  of  May,  1453,  to  the  shouts 
and  acclamations  of  his  soldiery,  hut 
not  a  single  Greek  .remained  in  Con* 
stantinopU  I"   The  city  was  repeopled 
by  violence,    vast    maltiludes    being 
dragged  forcibly  from  Asia,  and  com- 
pelled to  settle  therein ;  and  lon^  af- 
terwards, when   the  Greek  patriarch 
was  installed,  the  fugitive  Greek  popu- 
lation returned.     Mr.  Higgins  makes 
the  constant  mistake  of  reckoning,  as 
a  proof  of  Ottoman   lenity,  what  in 
fact  is  his  pride i  he  lives  amonghis 
Christian  subjects  now,  as  the  jTaiw 
tars  did  under  Zingis  Khan  and  Ti- 
mour,  namely,  as  among  an  inferior 
race,  whom  he  looks  down  upon  with 
contempt,  and  who  breathe  solely  by 
his  permission,  for  which  the  slave 
pays  a  yearly  tax  :  but  if  the  Turk  his 
master  has  the  caprice  or  cruelty  to 
murder  any  individual  of  this  abject 
race,  Greek  or  European,  unless  the 
judge  were  bribed  by  money,  he  would

quoted  by  Mr.  Higgins  in  sup|}ort 
of  his  extraordinary  work.  1  shall  not 
reply  to  the  passages  wherein  Christi- 
anity is  so  improperly  brought  in,  be- 
cause, as  a  lover  of  the  Scriptures  and 
a  believer  in  them,  I  can  admit  no 
other  feeling  than  that  of  profound  pity 
for  the  mind  which  can  thus  think  and 
argue.  Free  discussion,  and  entire  li- 
berty of  opinion  are  open  to  everyliberal 
inind ;  but  it  has  ever  been  esteemed  a 
matk  of  good  taste  as  well  as  of  good 
policy,  to  abstain  from  such  outrageous 
remarks  as  Mr.  Higgins  indulges  in; 
for  they  must  create  a  distaste  and  dis- 
like to  himself  and  his  works  with  every 
Christian  mind. 

I  now  leave  Mr.  Higgins's  remarks 

to  the  reader's  own  jodgiitent,  merely 

'  saying,  that  few  events  could  give  me 

a  ainoerer  pleasure  than  to  see  Mr. 


if  he  will  only  fairly  read  his  Bible,  he 
will  find,  what  has  long  been  testified 
by  the  most  learned  and  distinguished 
scholars,  that  it  contains  more  genuine 
and  fatchfal  history  than  all  the  books 
of  antiquity  pat  together.

Mr.  Urbav,  Jan.  1. 

THE  commencement  of  the  de- 
siroetion  of  St.  Dunsun's  Church 
in  Pleet-street  has  induced  me  to  offer 
a  few  observatixms  on  the  shameless 
and  indecorous  violation  of  the  sepol- 
chres  of  the  departed,  which  has  been 
committed  in  the  Metropolis  durine 
the  last  few  years,  a  subject  on  which 
the  press  has  been  most  negligently 
silent. 

A  feeling  of  respect  for  the  rest- 
ing places  of  th«  dead  has  been  in- 
herent in  the  human  breast  in  all  ages 
savage  and  civilized  }  it  is  a  feeling  so 
natural  and  univenal,  that  1  fear  not 
to  appeal  to  it,  even  in  a  Iteart  which 


has  felt  and  suffered  from  the  chiB- 
iog  effects  of  modem  liberalism.  I 
should  not  fear  to  rely  on  the  so- 
lemn and  excellent  service  of  our 
Church,  which  is  used  oo  the  cons^ 
cration  of  churches  and  burying^ 
grounds,  did  I  not  expect  to  meet  the 
sneer  of  the  infidel  and  the  schismatic^ 
and  be  told  that  such  obsolete  rices  did 
not  suit  the  improved  knowledge  of 
the  day, — that  the  march  of  iniell^ 

Snce  and  the  developement  of  inteU 
;t  had  divested  such  ceremonies  of 
their  charm,  and  that  I  must  direct  aiw 
guments  founded  oosuch  a  source  only 
to  the  bigotted  and  the  besotted.  Ai 
the  readers,  however,  of  the  Gentle- 
man's Magazine  are,  for  the  most  part, 
churchmen,  1  do  not  hesitate  to  make 
evenjlhis  appeal,  and  with  this  view  1 
will  introduce  a  portion  of  the  prayer 
used  b?  his  Grace  the  Archbishop  of 
Canterbury,  on  the  consecration  of 
Trinity  Cnurch,  Surrey  (my  own  pa- 
rish church) : 

**  O  eternal  Ood,  mighty  in  power,  sad 
of  majesty  incompreheniible,  whom  the 
heaven  of  heavens  cannot  oontain,  mnch 
leM  the  walls  of  temples  made  with  hands, 
and  who  yet  has  been  graciooslv  pleased  to 
promise  thy  especial  presence  m  whatever 
place  even  two  or  three  of  thy  faithful  ser- 
vants shall  assemble  in  thy  name  to  offer 
their  supplications  and  their  praises  to  thee ; 
'Vouchsafe,  O  Lord,  to  be  now  present  with 
us  who  are  gathered  here  togetner  to  eonse' 
crate  this  place,  with  all  humility  and  readi- 
ness of  heart,  to  the  honour  of  thy  great 
pame,  t^iorating  U  hene^vrth  fiwn  aU  srs- 
hallowedf  orduutry,  and  common  ttset,  dedi^ 
eating  it  entirely  to  thy  service,  for  reading 
therein  thy  most  holy  word,  for  celebrating 
thy  holy  sacraments,  for  offerina  to  ihy  glo- 
rious majesty  the  sacrifice  of  prayer  and 
thanksgiving,  for  blessing  thy  people  in  thy 
name,'  &c.  ficc. 

If  a  member  of  the  Establishment, 
or  perchance  of  the  Church  of  Rome', 
(a  Church,  with  all  her  errors,  still 
apostolic  on  the  main  points  of  reli- 
gion,) should  read  this  prayer,  I  will 
not  anticipate  what  his  feelings  must 
be  when  he  hears  in  what  way  such 
places  are  separated  from  unhallowed, 
ordinary,  and  common  uses,  and  dedi- 
cated entirely  to  the  service  of  the  Al- 
mighty. Appealing  to  such  a  person,  I 
could  say  that  such  a  prayer  as  that  I 
have  quoted  either  is  an  idle  form, 
amounting  almost  to  profanity,  or  it 
creates  an  imperative  duty  to  pos- 
terity to  preserve  the  building  to  con- 
secraled  to  tiie  uses  to  which  it  is  de- 
signed to  be  set  apart.

The  new  Fnrringdon  cnarkel  hai  re- 
moved a  burying-ground  in  Stioe-lane. 

The  new  Post  Office  has  displaced 
the  siLe  of  the  church  of  Si.  Leonard 
Foster, over  which  the  road  for  the  inailt 
now  pastes. 

For  the  purpme  of  making  new 
loadsat  the  sides  of  St.  Martin's  In-the- 
Ficldi,  the  burying- ground  bat  been 
most  unnecessarily  disturbed,  and  will 
l,e  converted  inio  a  highway. 

When  the  Corpnraiion  of  Londnn 
determined  on  building  new  Couils  of 
law,  a  chapel  and  burying- place  ati.ich- 
ed  lo  Guildhall  was  tutady  deslioyeil. 

Fur  the  purpose  of  making  a  road 
from  Broad-street  into  MoorRelds,  an 
old  burying- ground  was  disturbed,  and 
the  bones  were  acallercd  about  in  ihc 
moit  indecent  manner. 

Theie  are  the  Inslaneei  of  which  I 
complain,  and  surely  this  list  is  rnousli 
to  raise  the  indignaliun  of  all  who 
have  any  vcneraiioo  for  sacred  ihings,

creased to  a  fearful  extent.  That  the

Dological  order,  allow  me  to  call  your 
readen'  attention  to  the  chief  object 
of  the  communication,  viz.  lo  prevent, 
if  possible,  the  repetition  of  the  evil  in 
future  cases,  which,  if  it  in  the  least 
tends  to  effect,  will  afford  the  writer 
greater  satisfaction  than  the  Usk  of 
recording  past  evils,  which  can  never 
be  remedied,  but  which  are  still  useful 
as  beacons  to  guard  against  a  recurrence 
of  similar  circumstances. 

A  portion  of  the  church  and  bury- 
ing-ground  of  St.  Anne,  Aldersgate, 
is  threatened,  and  that  for  the  purpose 
of  making  an  unnecessary  road  to  the 
new  Post  Office,  merely  for  show  and 
effect,  to  display  a  building  which  had 
far  better  have  been  hidden. 

The  approaches  to  London  bridge,  and 
the  new  streets  conse(|uent  thereon, will, 
if  made,  interfere  with  more  than  one 
church.  St.  Michael's,  Crooked-iane, 
is  in  danger,  and  the  burying-ground 
of  St.  Olaves,  Southwark,  is  not  likely 
to  escape.  Join  me,  Mr.  Urban,  there- 
fore, and  add  your  protest  against  any 
future  destruction,  and  let  me  hope  that 
it  will  not  be  unheard  in  that  Quarter 
where  the  appeal  can  be  attended  to. 

I  intended  to  have  closed  my  letter 
here,  but  almost  while  writing  it,  an- 
other^ and  more  common  desecration 
of  existing  churches  has  occurred  to 
my  observation ;  this  is  occasioned  by 
the  annual  election  of  Common  Coun- 
cil men  for  the  wards  of  the  city  of 
Ix>ndon,  a  species  of  assembly   which 
is  perfectly  secular,  and  at  which  much 
ill   blood  is  usuallv  shewn.      These 
meetiiigsare  Renerafly  held  in  churches; 
why,   1  would  ask,  is  this  allowed  ? 
has  the  Lord  Bishop  of  London    no 
power  to  prevent  the  abuse,  or,  know- 
ing it,  does  he  sanction  it.     In  one 
parish  and  one  ward  the  evil  has  been 
prevented,  but  apparently  more  out  of 
regard   to  the  damage  the  pews  sus- 
tained than  to  any  respect  for  the  vio- 
lated sanctity  of  the  building.     If  a 
rule  is  made,  why  is  it  not  a  general 
rule  ?  is  the  church  of  St.  Bride  or  St. 
Andrew  more  holy  than  St.  Botolph 
or  any  other?     If  such  a  role  is  made 
for  one  parish  and  one  ward,  why  is  it 
not  extended  to  the  entire  city.    The 
evil  is  likely  in  future  to  increase  ra- 
ther than  to  diminish,   inasmuch  as 
many  Halls  (the  Salters*,  for  instance), 
in  which  such  meetings  have  been  for- 
merly held,  having  been  rebuilt  or  rc- 
paircMJ,  have  been  refused  to  the  elec- 
tors.   A  building  dedicated  to  the  pur- 
*— —  of  feasting  a/jj  excess  is  deemed 


too  good  to  hold  such  assemblies  in,  yet 
the  church  is  allowed  to  be  profaned 
by  the  admission  of  an  assembly  which 
the  halls  of  revelry  have  rejected.

N  ham,  Jan.  4. 

O  building  has  suffered  more  from 
beinff  "cfiurchwardenized,"  than 
the  fine  old  Church  of  Hexham ;  and  it 
IS  allowed  that  no  building  in  the  king- 
dom presents  so  fine  a  specimen  of  the 
latter  Norman  style.*    The  good  taste 
and  liberality  with  which  the  present 
impropriator    is    restoring    the    great 
eastern  window,  induces  me,  through 
the  medium  of  your  valuable  publica- 
tion, to  suggest  an  improvement,  and, 
as  far  as  possible,  to  restore  thost  parU 
to  their  pristine  state  which  have  been 
altered,  or  added,  by  the  bad  taste  or 
Ignorance  of  those  who  had  the  direc- 
tion.    I   allude   more  particularly  to 
the  altar:  this  is  formed  by  wooden 
panels,  in  the  centre  of  which  are  two 
incongruous  pillars  of  the  Composite 
order ;  on  each  side  of  these,  the  De^ 
calogue  is  painted,  and  between,  a  fan- 
ciful  wreath  of  flowers,  which  ill  ac 
cords  wiih  the  solemnity  of  ihe  place, 
and  the  whole  with  the  grandeur  of 
the  building. 

Behind  this  screen,  and  supporting 
the  base  of  the  great  window,  are  some 
fine  Pointed  arches ;  and  I  beg  to  sug- 
gest to  those  who  have  the  direction, 
to  remove  the  wood  work,  and  leave 
the  arches  to  form  the  altar,— it  would 
then  be  in  harmony  with  the  original 
building,  and  they  would  elicit  the  ' 
thanks  of  every  antiquary. 

It  was  stated   by  a  writer  in   the 
Quarterlv  Review,  that  it  was  to  be 
regretted  there  were  no  funds  set  aside 
by  Government,  for  the  restoration  of 
our  national  edifices,  when  there  was 
no  church  property  for  that  purpose, 
or  the  parish  was  too  much  oppressed 
by  poor  rates  to  do  it ;  and  he  particu- 
larized Hexham.    To  expect  the  Go- 
vernment to  do  it,  under  the  depressed 
state  of  the   country,   would  be   too 
much,  and  to  expect  it  from  indivi- 
duals whose  taste  or  pursuits  are  at  va- 
riance, is  equally  so;  but,  if  the  time

noibc^  forgotten.     The  late  lecturer.

Mr.  Urban,      December  28. 

IN  Vol.  zx.  of  the  «  Archseologia " 
there  is  an  interesting  paper  by 
J.  H.  Mark  land,  Eso.  on  the  early  use  of 
carriagea  in  EngUno,  which  traces  the 
vehicular  mode  of  conveyance,  very 
clearly  and  circumstantially,  from  its 
origin.  One  branch  of  the  inquiry, 
however,  as  it  did  not  form  part  of  his 
object  to  examine  into  it  minutely, 
he  has  touched  upon  but  slightly :  viz, 
the  rise  and  progress  of  those  public 
conveyances  commonly  called  Stage- 
coaches: and  the  following  materials 
may,  therefore,  not  be  without  their 
use  towards  a  further  illustration  of 
the  ftobject. 

Stage-coaches  (in  the  present  sense 
of  the  term)  seem  to  have  been  first 
used  about  the  middle  of  the  seven- 
teenth century  i  for  the  earliest  men- 
tion of  them  adduced  by  Mr.  Mark- 
land  (and  I  ttave  met  with  none  of 
remoter  date)  occurs  in  an  extract  from 
<•  Duffdale's  Diary,*'  communicated  by 
Mr.  Hum  per,  in  which  he'  mentions 
his  travelling  to  London  by  the  Co- 
ventry coach,  in  I669,  and  his  daughter 
by  tWe  Coventry  waggon,  in  166O.  At 
this  period  indeed,  and  long  after,  the 
use  of  coaches  was  confined  to  people 
of  the  higher  class,  those  of  a  meaner 
aort  beijBg  content  to  travel  more  slowly 
hj  Ibe  cancans  or  stage- waggons,  spo- 


ken of  by  Stowe  at  a  common  mode 
of  conveyance  ctrca  1560,  and  which 
carried  twenty  or  thirty  persons.  In 
the  fragment  of  Dr.  Johnson's  Auto- 
Biography,  published  by  Wright,  of 
Lichfiekl,  he  tells  us,  that  "  when 
uken  to  London  by  his  mother,  in 
1711,  to  be  touched  for  the  evil,  they 
travelled  thither  by  the  coach;  but, 
from  contiderations  of  economy,  re- 
turned home  in  a  waggon."  This 
cumbrous  vehicle,  the  appearance  of 
which  has  been  perpetuated  by  Ho- 
nrth  (in  his  "  Harlot's  Progreas." 
Plate  !.)»  continued  to  be  generally 
resorted  to,  till  towards  the  close  of 
the  last  century,  by  the  lower  orders 
of  country  people  who  visited  London ; 
but  I  believe  the  stage-coaches,  by  their 
number  and  cheapness,  have  now  aU 
most  completely  superseded  iL 

How  long  after  their  introduction 
coaches  remained  without  the  luxury 
of  springs,  does  not  exactly  appear; 
but  that  this  addition  was  somewhat 
of  a  novelty  in  1703,  may  be  inferred 
from  a  passage  in  Baker's  Comedy, 
culled  «  Tunbridge  Walks,*'  published 
in  that  year,  wherein  Maiden^  an  ef- 
feminate fellow,  observes,  **  Some 
people  are  fond  of  a  horse :  I  wonder 
what  pleasure  there  is  in  jumbling 
one's  bones  to  a  jelW  ^  But  1  love  a 
fprtng-chariot  1 "  In  fact,  a  journey  of 
fifty  miles,  over  the  roads  of  those  days, 
in  a  carriage  without  springs,  must 
have  been  no  slight  undertaking.  Mr. 
Markland  cites  a  letter  from  Edward 
Parker  to  his  father,  dated  Nov.  l66d, 
descriptive  of  his  progress  to  London 
by  the  "  coatch,*'  in  which  he  says: — 
*•  ¥•  company  y*  came  up  w*^  roee 
were  persons  of  greate  quality,  as 
Knights  and  Ladyes ;  but  my  journey 
was  noe  ways  pleasant,  being  forced  to 
ride  in  the  boote  all  the  vtvft,  «v* 
hath  so  indisposed  mee,  y'  I  am  re- 
solved never  to  ride  up  againe  in  y* 
coatch." 

The  **  boote"  here  mentioned,  which 
must  not  be  confounded  with  the  ap- 
pendage so  called  at  present,  was  a 
projection  on  either  side  of  the  vehicle, 
in  which  a  passenger  sat  on  a  stool, 
with  his  face  to  the  window,  if,  in- 
deed, windows  were  known  in  oar 
enrlv  coaches.  It  is  depicted  in  one 
of  tne  plates  accompanying  Mr.  Mark- 
land's  Essay,  and  something  of  the 
kind  seems  to  be  still  retainra  in  the 
state-coaches  used  by  the  Speaker  of 
the  House  of  Commons  and  the  Lord

Rue  and  Progreu  of  Stage-Coach  Travelling. 


[Jan 


vehiclety  or  merely  to  one  which  (Missed 
through  the  several  towns,  docs  not 
clearly  appear.  The  fullest  list  of  the 
early  stages  occurs  in  Dclaune*s  "  Ac* 
count  of  London,'*  1671  (see  vol.  xcix. 
ii.  p.  485),  a  comparison  of  which  with 
one  for  1 889,  presents  a  strange  con- 
trast. Under  the  head  of  Coventry  he 
names  but  one,  which  was,  apparently, 
two  or  three  days  on  the  road,  and  was 
perhaps  that  by  which  Dugdale  tra* 
veiled.  '*  William  Mitchcrs  Coach- 
Wagon  comes  to  the  Bell-Savage  on 
Ludgate  Hill  on  Friday,  goes  out  on 
Saturday.'*  With  the  improvement  of 
the  roads,  however,  the  coaches  began 
to  improve  their  speed,  the  progressive 
increase  of  which,  and  various  other 
particulars,  may  be  gathered  from  the 
subjoined  advertisements.  The  first  is 
from  No.  400  of  "  The  Spectator," 
orig.  edit. 

«  A  Coach  &  Six  Able  Hortet  will  be  at 
the  One  Bell  in  the  Strand,  tomorrow,  being 
Tueaday,  the  10th  of  this  instant  June, 
[17 is] 9  bound  for  Ezon,  Plymouth,  and 
Falmouth^  where  all  penont  shall  be  kindly 
uted." 

About  this  period,  the  dwellers  on 
the  North  Road  were  surprised  by  the 
phenomenon  of  a  vehicle  which  tra- 
versed the  distance  between  London 
and  Edinburgh  in  the  brief  space  of  a 
fortnight.  The  commencement  of  this 
surprising  novelty  was  thus  announced 
in  the  '*  Newcastle  Courant,*'  October, 

<*  Edinburgh,  Berwick,  Newcastle,  Dur- 
ham, and  London  Stage-Coach,  begins  on 
Monday,  the  IS  Oct.  1719.  All  that  desire 
to  pass  from  Edinbro*  to  London,  or  firom 
London  to  Edinbro*,  or  any  place  on  that 
road,  let  tbem  repair  to  Mr.  John  Baillie*S) 
at  the  Coach  &  Horses,  at  the  Head  of  the 
Cannoneate,  Edinbro',  every  other  Saturday, 
or  to  the  Black  Swan,  in  Holbom,  every 
other  Monday,  at  both  of  which  places  they 
may  be  received  in  a  Stage-Coacb,  which 
performs  the  whole  jooraej  in  thirteen  days* 
without  any  stoppage,  (if  God  permit)  having 
eighty  able  horses  to  perform  the  whole 
itage.  Each  passenger  paying  £4.  10  for 
the  whole  journey,  allowing  each  passenger 
SOlbs.  weight,  and  all  above  to  pay  6d.  per 
pound.  The  Coach  sets  off  at  six  in  the 
mominc.     Performed  by 

**  Henry  Harrison,    Robt.  Garbs, 
"  NiCH.  Spiiohl,         Rich.  Croft." 

It  has  been  noticed  above  that,  in 
the  reign  of  Charles  IL,  the  York 
coach  was  fourteen  days  on  its  way  to 
the  metropolis,  a  statement  perhaps 
loincwhat  exaggerated,  or  applicable 


to  the  winter  season  only.  But  eren 
to  recently  as  1734, 1  find  the  wriler 
of  a  work,  entitled  *'  A  Journey  from 
London  to  Scarborough,*'  including 
among  the  remarkable  thinji^  he  met 
with,  a  coach  which  performed  the 
distance  in  four  days,  the  progress  of 
which  he  thus  circumstantially  de« 
scribes : 

«  The  York  Coach  eoes  firom  the  Swarf 
Inn,  Holbom,  &  from  the  Red  Lion  Inn,  ior 
Gray*s>lnn  Lane,  Mondays,  Wednesdays,  & 
Fridays,  in  four  jdays,  at  40s.  per  Passengeftf 
The  first  stage,  Biggleswade  in  Bedibrd* 
shire;  the  second,  Stamford  in  Lincoln- 
shire ;  the  thifd,  Barnby  Moor  in  Yorkshire 
[Notts.];  &  the  last  day  you  reach  York." 

Thirty  years  later,  a  still  further  in* 
crease  of  speed  had  taken  place  on  this 
road,  as  appears  by  a  paragraph  in  the 
"  Scots*  Magazine,"  Jan.  1705,  p.  54: 

"  Flying  Post-Coaches  have  lately  been 
established  to  go  between  Newcastle  and 
London.  A  coach  sets  out  from  either  place 
every  Monday,  Wednesday,  and  Friday,  el 
four  o'clock  in  the  moming,  and  makes  She 
journey  in  three  days ;  carries  six  inside  pee- 
sengers,  each  paying  &d,  a  mile,  and  allowed 
14lbs.  of  baggage )  and  tlicy  carry  no  outside 
passengers." 

The  Shrewsbury  coaches  now  reach 
London,  a  distance  of  I60  miles,  in 
seventeen  or  eighteen  hours ;  but  in 
the  *«  Shrewsbury  Chronicle,"  for  1774, 
frequent  advertisements  occur  of  the 
only  two  coaches  which  then  left  the 
place,  called  <«  The  Old  Machine,*' 
and  "  The  New  Machine,"  and  which 
**  performed  the  journey  (God  permit- 
ting) in  two  days  and  one  night." 
Tiiey  stopped  for  breakfast  at  VVolver* 
hampton;  for  dinner  at  Coventry;  and 
passed  the  night  at  Dunchorch.  "  The 
New  Machine"  possessed  the  ad  van- 
tage  of  *'  steel  springs." 

In  Nov.  1826,  died  at  Hounslow; 
a^t.  seventy,  Fagg,  the  great  coach* 
owner,  who  was  once  the  proprietor  of 
the  only  Southampton  coach,  which 
then  took  two  days  to  perform  the 
journey,  staying  all  night  at  Famham. 
The  advance,  however,  which  has 
taken  place  in  coach  travelling,  is  not 
attributable  solely  to  driving  at  an  in- 
creased speed,  but  in  a  great  degree  to  the 
improved  system  of  changing  horses; 
and,  above  all,  to  the  avoidance  of  un* 
necessary  stoppages.  As  to  the  opera- 
tion of  changing  horses,  it  now  occu- 
pies about  a  minute,  the  animals  being 
kept  in  waiting  for  the  arrival  of  the 
coach,  and  put  to  with  surprising  dis^

One  Nidiobt  Laoibert  alto  sWore, 
ihM  after  Siyle  had  been  committed 
be  and  two  others  watched  her,  i^ree- 
ably  to  the  magitirate't  request ;  that 
he»  Lambert,  sitting  near  the  fire  about 
three  o'clock    in  the  morning,    and 
reading  in  the  Practice  of  Piety,  there 
came  from  her  head  a  glittering  bright 
§Lj,  about  an  inch  In  length,  which 
pitched  K(  first  in  the  chimney,  and 
then  vanished^    He  looked  stedfasily 
then  on  Styl^,  perctited  her  counte« 
nance  change,  and  to  become  very  black 
and  ghastly ;  the  fire  at  the  same  time 
changed  its  colour  ;  whereufion  Lara* 
bert  aud  the  two  others  considering 
that  her  familiar  was  then  about  her, 
looked  to  her  poll,  and  seeing  her  hair 
shake  very  strangely,  took  it  up,  and 
then  a  great  fly  flew  out  from  the  place 
and  pitched  on  the  table-board, and  then 
vanished  away.     Upon  the  witnesses 
looking  again    in    Style's  poll,  they 
found  II  verr  red,  like  raw  beef.    Upon 
being  asked  what  it  was  went  out  of 
her  poll  ?  she  said  it  was  a  butterfly ; 
and  asked   ihem  why  they  had   not 
caught  iL      Lambert  said  they  could 
not ;  she  replied,  I  Chink  so  too.     A 
little  while  after  the   informant  and 
others  looked  upon  her  poll,  and  found 
the  place  to  be  of  its  former  colour. 
Lambert  demanded  again  what   the 
fly  was?      She  confessed  it  was  her 
familiar,  and  that  she  felt  it  tickle  in 
her  poll,  and  that  was  the  usual  time 
when  her  familiar  came  to  her. 

Elizabeth  Tor  wood  then  swears, 
that  she,  toother  with  four  other 
women  who  also  gare  evidence  to  the 
same  effect,  searched  Style  in  the  poll, 
and  found  a  little  rising  which  felt 
hard  like  a  kernel  of  beef;  whereupon 
they,  suspecting  it  to  be  an  ill  mark, 
thrust  a  pin  into  it,  and  having  drawn 
it  out  thrust  it  in  again  the  second 
time,  that  the  other  women  might  see 
it  also.  Noiwithstanding  which  Style 
did  neither  at  the  first  or  second  time 
make  the  least  shew  that  she  felt  any 
thing;  but  after,  when  the  constable 
told  her  he  would  thtust  in  a  pin  in 
the  place,  and  made  a  shew  as  if  he 
did,  she  said  he  pricked  her,  whereas 
no  one  then  touched  her. 

Style  was  tried  and  condemned,  but 
died  shortly  before  the  time  appointed 
for  her  execution. 

ShortJy  afterwards,  Alice  Duke,  one 
of  Style*s  knot,  was  tried  for  a  Witch, 
and  convicied  upon  the  testimony  of 
loany  witnesses;  and  her  own  confes- 


sioti,  which  contains  a  liiiniite  acooont 
of  many   extraordinary  and  devilish 
(ricks,  which  she,  in  conjunetioti  with 
her  conrederatcf  and  his  Saunic  M«- 
jest^r,  performed;  she  confcases  that  her 
fjmiliar  commonly  sucked  her  fight 
breast  about  seven  at  dlght,  in   the 
shape  of  a  Hide  cat  of  a  duooish  cb- 
lour,  and  when  she  was  sucked  she 
was  in  a  kind  of  trance.    That  she 
hurt  Thomas  Garrett's  cows  becauae 
he  refused  to  write  a  petition  fbr  her. 
That  she.  hurt  Thomas  Conway,  bv 
putting  a  dish  into  his  hand,  whicn 
dish  the  had  from  the  devil.   That  sho 
hurt  Dorothy,    the  wife   of  George 
Vining,  by  giving  an  iron  stake  to  put 
into    her  steeling   box.    That   being 
angry  with  Edith  Watts  for  treading 
on  her  foot,  she  cursed  her,  and  after- 
wards touched  her,  which  had.  done 
her  much  harm,  for  which  she  is  very 
sorry.    That  bein^  provoked  by  Swan* 
ton's  wife,  she  did  liefure  her  death 
curie  her,  and  believes  she  did  thereby 
hurt  her ;  but  denies  tliat  she  did  be- 
witch   Mr.   Swantoii*s    cattle.     And 
then  she  gives  this  suitable  informa- 
tion, which  may  serve  to  put  us  on 
our  guard  against  having  any  thing  to 
do  with  this  father  of  lies.  That  when 
the  devil  does  any  thing  for  her,  she 
calls  for  him  by  the  name  of  Robia. 
upon  which  he  appears ;  and  when  id 
the  shape  of  a  man,  she  can  hear  him 
speak,  out  his  voice  is  very  low.     He 
promi^  her,  when  she  had  miKle  her 
contract  with  him,  that  she  8ho^ld 
want  nothing,    but   ever    since    she 
wanted  all  things. 

And  Conway,  his  wife,  and  Watts, 
also  corroborated  her  statements,  by 
describing  on  oath  the  injuries  whicn 
they  had  sustained  from  this  acknow- 
ledged Witch. 

The  intimation  above,  as  to  the 
devil  being  a  hard  master,  reminds  one 
of  a  passage  in  an  old  translation  of 
Bodinus,  from  which  it  appears  that 
in  Livonia,  yearly,  about  the  end  of 
December,  a  certain  knave  or  devil 
warneth  all  the  Witched  in  the  country 
to  come  to  a  certain  place.  If  thev 
fail,  the  devil  comeih  and  whippeth 
them  wiih  an  iron  rod,  so  as  the  print 
of  his  lashes  remains  upon  their  bodies 
for  ever.  Which  circumstance  has 
thus  been  preserved  by  one  of  our  early 
bards: 

'*  Till  on  tt  day  (thtt  dmy  is  everie  Prime) 
When  Witches  wont  do  pcakace  for  their 


crime.

In  CUiiterbuck'9  Hiaiory  of  Hent, 
be  says. "  in  this  village  (i.e.  Walkeru), 
lived  Jtinc  Wenham,  a  poor  woman, 
who  wai  aceuard  in  teveral  iniiances 
of  liaving  pMCiised  soicery  and  witch-

1735.  At  Burlington,  in  Pensyl- 
vsoii,  the  owners  of  several  cattle  be- 
lieving them  to  be  bewitched,  caused 
■otne  luipected  men  and  women  to  be 
iaken  tip,  nnd  irialt  lo  be  made  for 
deteciingihem.  Above  ihreehandred 
people  auembled  near  the  Governor's 
liouse,  and  a  pair  of  scales  being 
creeled,  ihe  su>|<eeied  persons  were 
each  wei^ihett  agaiusi  a  large  Bible; 
but  all  of  thcin  easily  outweighed  JL 
The  accused  were  then  lied  hand  and 
feet  together,  and  put  iota  a  river,  on 
the  tiipposiiioil  that  if  they  swam  ihcy

to  undergo,  in  case  as  many  of  the  ac- 
cusers should  be  served  in  the  hkc 
manner ;  which  being  done,  they  all 
swam  very  buoyantly,  to  the  no  small 
diversion  uf  ihe  iiKcialuri,  and  clearing 
of  ihe  accused.

a  rope  about  her  middle  threw  her  in, 
two  hundred  spectators  huzzaing  and 
ahettioff  in  the  riot.  They  affirm  she 
swam  like  a  cork,  though  forced  several 
times  under  water.  About  an  hour 
afier  she  was  taken  out  of  the  water 
she  expired.    The  coroner  sat  on  her

or  knowledge  in  any  occult  or  crafty

day,  stand  openly  on  the  pillory  by  the 
space  of  one  hour,  and  also  give  secu- 
rity for  good  behaviour. 

The  passing  of  this  Act  seems  to  have 
given  general  satisfaction  to  the  com- 
munity, and  at  the  time  gave  rise  to 
several  droll  essays  and  poems  upon 
the  subject,  which  are  to  be  founa  in 
the  Gentleman's  Magazine  and  other 
periodicals  of  that  day.     But,  although 
numbers  rejoiced  at  the  repeal  of  the 
obnoxious  statutes  which  had  so  long 
continued  on  the  sutute  book,  to  the 
terror  of  antient  females,  there  were 
others  who  contemplated  the  measure 
with    some    alarm,    and    anticipated 
strange  work  from  the  circumstance  of 
the  devil  being  thus  fairly  let  loose. 

In  April  1751,  at  Tring  in  Herts,  a 
publican  giving  out  that  he  was  be- 
witched by  one  Osborne  and  his  wife, 
harmless  people  above  70,  had  it  cried 
at  several  marlcet  towns  that  they  were 
to  be  tried  by  ducking  on  April  92, 
which  occasioned  a  vast  concourse. 
The  parish  officers  having  removed 
the  old  couple  from  the  workhouse 


concerned  in  ducking  for  witches  all 
the  poor  old  women  in  Glen  and  Bur- 
ton Overy,  were  sentenced  to  stand  in 
the  pillory  twice,  and  to  be  in  gaol  one 
month. 

28  Nov.  1762.  A  number  of  people 
surrounded  the  house  of  John  Pntchen 
of  West  Langdon  in  Kent,  and  under  a 
notion  of  his  wife  having  bewitched  a 
boy  1 3  years  old,  dragged  her  out  by  vio- 
lence, and  compelled  her  to  go  to  the 
boy's  father  about  a  mile  from  her  own» 
where  they  forced  her  into  the  room 
where  the  boy  was,  scratched  her  arms 
anfl  face  in  a  most  cruel  manner  to 
draw   blood,  and   they  threatened  to 
swim  her,  but  some  people  of  condi- 
tion interfering,  the  poor  woman's  life 
was  happily  preserved ;  and  the  persons 
concerned  in  carrying  on  the  impos- 
ture, particularly  one  Beard  and  Ladd*s 
wife,  being  carried  before  a  Magistrate, 
and  compelled  to  make  satisfaction  to 
the  unhappy  injured  woman,  the  mob 
dispersed,  and  the  country,  that  was 
every  where  in  tumult,  again  quieted. 
The  boy  pretended  to  void  needles  and 
pins  from  his  body,  and  his  father  and 
mother  upheld  the  deceit,  and  collect- 
ed large  sums  of  those  whose  compas- 
sion was  excited. 

15  Nov.  1775.  Nine  old  women 
were  burned  at  Kaleck  in  Poland, 
charged  with  having  bewitched  and 
rendered  unfruitful  the  lands  belong- 
ing to  a  gentleman  in  the  Palatinate.

Douglas,  a  Surgeon,  who  published 
in  l73Rti  ^yh  it  is  absurd  to  call 
men,  wives ;  and  not  much  less  so,  to 
OK  the  word  Midwife,  when  the  ofli- 
cialing  person  is  either  a  widow  or  a 
maid !  He  addi,  "  the  French  ex- 
press it  very  beautifully  by  the  word 
AccoHcheuT,  and  I  shall  always  enpres* 
it  by  the  word  Midnan,  which  though 
not  so  neat  as  the  French,  yel  is  much

ed of."  The  female  praclitioneis 
Douglas  denominate*  '*  Midwamm, 
which  includes  Maids,  Wives,  and  Wi- 
dows.'' Subsequently,  Douglas  applied 
the  word  Accnticheur  in  a  proposed 
dedication  lo  his  bralher:  "To  that 

Accoucheur,  Dr.  James  Douglas,

etymology,  which  Verstegan  alsogtves, 
is  *  a  woman  qf  meed,  deservinjg  rc-

ipeaning,  May  not  the  word  be  more 
naturally  derived  from  the  Saxon  pre- 
position med»  wilk^  an<l  F^F*  ^if^\  ^^'

nvation,  it  would  apply  equally,  whether 
the  woman  was  attended  by  a  niale  or 
a  female. 

Thomson,  in  his  "  Etymons  of  Eng- 
lish Words,'*  gives  another  derivation. 
He  considers  the  Gothic  mid  and 
Danish  mt/,  analogous  to  wit^  know- 
ledge* wisdom,  80  that  Midwife,  ac- 
Goroing  to  him,  corresponds  with  the 
French  sage  femme,  and  the  Scots 
cannie  wife, 

1  have  often  wondered  that  our  Lexi- 
cographers axid  Pbilologers  have  not 
looked  nearer  home  for  the  derivation 
of  ihis  word.  The  natural  etymology 
loay,  1  thinks  be  found  in  the  old 
£ng|ish  word  Modir,  which  i^  used 
both  for  the  mother  and  the  womb. 
Midwife  then,  b  the  contraction  of 
Modirwi/e,  and  U  applied  to  the  wife, 
the  good  woman,  whose  dut^r  it  was  to 
be  ia  attendance  upon  tbis  important 
part  of  the  female  system. 

Of  the  "  finical'*  word  Accoucheur^ 
I  have  already  mentioned  the  first  use 
in  the  English  language.  Astruc*  ulls 
us  that  tne  worn  was  invented  soon 
jifter  the  year  1663;  the  first  time  I 
have  noticed  it,  is  l668t.  The  Dic- 
tionaire  de  Trevoux  traces  its  etymo- 
logy to  the  Latin  accuhare.  The  femi- 
nine Accoucheure  has  been  formed 
from  Accoucheur;  but  with  an  ab- 
surdity beyond  measure  ridiculous,  the 
*'  finical  '^  English,  who  have  substi- 
tuted Accoucheur  for  the  incongruous 
compound  Man-midwife,  are  now  dig- 
nifying all  the  old  Midwives  with  the 
splendid  appellation  o(  female  Accou- 

cheurM, 

Instead  of  Man-midwife  or  Accou- 
cheur, to  both  of  which  words  objec- 
tions have  been  largely  made,  some 
formatives  from  Obstetrix  have  been 
proposed;  viz.  Obstilor,  Obsietricaior, 
and  Obstetrician,  This  last,  as  being 
analogous  to  Geometrician,  Mathenia-

Mr.  Ur.baw,  Jan,  10. 

N  your  Obituary  of  May,  ld£8«  vol. 

xcviii.  page  474,  you  give  tome 
account  of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Hatch, 
late  Vicar  of  Washington  in  Susses. 
As  Mr.  Hatch  was  my  intimate  friend 
during  several  years  of  my  early  life,l 
cannot  but  feel  anxious  to  correct  sone 
errors  in  that  account,  of  no  great  im- 
portance I  admit,  except  from  the  di*- 
like  one  feels  to  every  degree  of  ervor 
in  regard  to  a  person  one  has  known 
and  esteemed, 

Mr.  Hatch  was  the  son  of  a  Clergy- 
man, Rector,  or  Vicar,  of  one  of  the 
Burnbams  in  Norfolk,  (au  honour 
which  he  shared  in  common  with  the 
great  Hero  of  Norfolk)  and  was,  as  is 
correctly  stated,  elected  at  an  early  m 
a  Demi  of  Magdalen,  and  took  the  &• 
gree  of  A.M.  in  176Q ;  but  nyuch  of  the 
subsequent  account  is  certainly  erro- 
neous. It  was  not  that  this  prospect  of 
succeeding  to  a  fellowship  was  remote, 
that  be  was  induced  to  solicit  or  accept 
a  commission  in  the  East  India  Com- 
pany's service;  but  from  the  severity 
of  Or.  Wheeler,  then  a  very  influen- 
tial member  of  the  CoUeue,  who  was 
so  dissatisfied  with  Mr.  Hatch  on  ao> 
count  of  some  early  eccentrioitiet,  that 
he  prevailed  with  the  society  to  icfoae 
him  their  ordinary  testimonium.  Be- 
ing thus  driven  from  the  profession  for 
which  he  was  intended,  he  was  glad 
to  go  out  as  a  Cadet  to  India.  In  the 
Company's  service  he  remained  long 
eriough  not  only  to  attain  the  rank  of 
Lieutenant  (he  was  never  Captain),  but 
to  be  entitled  to  the  liberal  provision 
which  the  Company  allows,  accordiiig 
to  the  rank  of  their  retired  officers.  It 
happened  that,  just  about  the  time  of 
his  return  to  England,  there  was  a  va- 
cancy of  one  of  the  fellowships  of 
Magdalen,  which  could  only  be  filled 
up  by  a  native  of  Norfolk  or  Suffolk. 
There  was  tlien  no  Demi,  no  one  at 
least  of  competent  age  or  standing, 
from  either  of  these  counties.  A  mem- 
ber of  the  college,  a  sentleuian-coin- 
moner  of  the  name  of  tJ rquhart  (lately 
deceased)*  and  Mr.  Hatch  became  can-

Review. — Hunt's  Exemplan  of  Tudor  jirchitecture.         [Jan. 


"reducible  to  the  wants  of  the  present 
refined  ase."  This  may  be  doubted, 
even  if  the  present  were  the  original 
arrangement  of  these  mansions.  Many 
of  the  state  apartments  of  Hampton 
Court  have  been  destroyed,  and  Hen- 
gpive  has  undergone  so  much  altera- 
tion, in  the  total  destruction  of  some 
rooms,  and  the  enlargement  or  reduc- 
tion of  others,  that  its  present  inlernal 
comfort  and  elegance  are  totally  inde- 
pendent of  antiquity.  Rut,  after  all, 
there  is  no  antient  house  which  could 
be  recommended  for  exact  imitation 
(supposing  such  imitation  desirable) 
in  these  days.  This  remark  is  equally 
applicable  to  plan  and  design ;  both 
may  be  copied  in  parts,  and  the  style 
of  the  latter  ought  to  be  preserved 
throughout,  butihespAo/e  must  be  made 
to  suit  the  economy  of  the  age  iu  which 
we  live.  Before  we  leave  Hensraie,  it 
may  be  remaiked,  en  passant,  that  Mr. 
Hunt  has  drawn  largely  from  Mr. 
Gage's  History,  which  is  indeed  a  very 
valuable  work. 

There  is  no  doubt  of  the  use  of  brick 
at  an  essential  material  in  houses  of 
the  first  magnitude  as  early  as  the  1 5th 
century,  i.  c.  in  the  reigns  of  Hen.  VI. 
and  Edw.  IV.  Eltham  Hall  is  of 
brick,  with  an  external  facing  of  stone; 
and  the  beautiful  ruins  of  the  gate- 
way of  Nether  Hall,  Essex,  are  wholly 
of  the  same  material,  excepting  the 
internal  arches  which  are  edged  with 
stone.  It  was  built  under  Edward  IV. 
whose  badges  combined,  are  carved  on 
wood  in  one  angle  of  the  interior. 
Hurstmonceaux  Castle  and  Eton  Col- 
lege were  erected  in  the  preceding 
reign ;  and  it  is  difficult  to  believe  that 
these  are  8|)ecimen8  of  the  earliest 
moulded  bricks  used  in  England  ;  if  so, 
it  would  puzzle  antiquaries  to  point 
out  any  improvement  in  that  art  from 
the  above  period  to  the  reign  of  Hen. 
VIII.  It  may  be  noticed  that  bold- 
ness was  not  a  common  characteristic 
of  the  antient  brick  ornaments,  the 
varieties  of  which,  excepting  on  chim- 
neys, were  few  in  proportion  to  their 
number.  At  East  Barsham,  in  Nor- 
folk, there  is  a  constant  repetition  of 
the  same  devices;  the  cornices  are 
shallow,  but  the  chimneys  and  turrets, 
as  in  most  instances,  are  extremely 
beautiful. 

Coesey  Hall,  Norfolk,  is  now  build« 
ing  for  Lord  Stafford,  under  the  dircc- 
lioQofMr.J.C.Buckler.  Redand  white 


brick  are  used  in  the  construction  of 
this  house,  the  latter  io  tlie  cornice, 
corbels,  windows,  and  doorways,  and 
from  their  colour  and  size  they  very 
closely  resemble  masonry.  Thex  bricks 
are  in  large  masses,  perfectly  sound  and 
even,  and  the  arches  of  some  of  the 
doorways,  four  feet  wide,  consist  of 
only  two  pieces.  The  brick  field  is  oa 
the  edge  of  the  park,  and  at  the  utmost 
pains  are  taken  in  the  manufacture,  it 
may  be  supposed  that  the  material  is 
of  a  very  superior  quality  both  as  to 
strength  and  colour.  The  style  adopted 
by  Mr.  Buckler  is  that  of  Henry  Vlil. 
and  the  arch  (to  which  Mr.  Hunt 
objects),  except  within  a  square  archi- 
trave, is  an  excluded  feature.  The 
best  examples  have  been  selected  for 
the  building,  and  there  it  already  no 
mean  display  of  chimneyt. 

The  ground- plan  in  Section  II. 
(p.  2i}.)  somewhat  resembles  that  of 
Lastbury  Hall,  in  Essex.  The  cloister 
is  an  additional  feature ;  its  open  tide 
partakes  more  of  modernity  than  of 
antiquity,  but  its  constituent  orna- 
ments are  correct  and  good.  The 
chimney  shafu  are  very  handsome, 
and  the  gale-house  simple  and  in  the 
true  spirit  of  antiquity. 

The  originals  of  the  grate  and  curi« 
ously  embossed  dogs  in  PI.  XV.  p.  68, 
are  at  Haddon  Hall,  in  the  county  of 
Derby. 

In  p.  6l  to  65,  inclusive,  is  an  in^ 
teresting  list  of  buildings,  distinguished 
by  heraldic  ornaments.  This  speciet 
ot  enrichment  was  equally  beautiful 
and  %*aluable.  It  was  also  very  com- 
mon, and  it  may  be  observed,  that  it 
was  the  almost  boundless  exercise  of 
this  liberty  of  decoration  in  architec- 
tural design  that,  while  it  contributed 
both  beauty  and  variety,  produced  the 
continual  changes  that  hastened  itt 
decline. 

'<  The  frets  tod  other  fancifiil  forms 
which  are  teen  in  the  frooti  of  baildinct) 
formed  of  vitrified  bricks,  were  msde  fur  the 
purpose  of  employing  in  a  manner  the  ItMt 
unsightly,  sach  as  were  discoloured  by  burn- 
ing. In  a  clamp,  or  kiln  of  bricks,  a  certun 
number  must,  from  their  si tuatiou,  be  more 
strongly  acted  upcm  by  the  fire  than  the 
general  mass,  and  ccmsequently  become 
darkly  tinged.  With  the  tact  so  peculiar 
to  the  old  artisans,  tbis,'liLe  other  seeming 
disadvantages,  was  turned  to  account ;  and 
what  in  other  hands  would  have  been  blem- 
ishes, were  converted  by  them  iuto  embel- 
lishments.   Instead  of  allowing  the  work-

tiqoity.   When  the  Hall  occupied  only 
the  lower  story  of  the  house,  as  in 
the  curious  remains  of  the  parsonage- 
house   at   Congresbury   in    Somerset, 
it  was  ceiled  ;  but  in  the  majority  of 
examples    this   nobic  apartment   was 
distinguished  for  its  height,  and   its 
chief  architectural  embellishments  ap- 
peared in  its  raftered  roof.  The  Painted 
Chamber,  and  the  Prince's  Chamber 
at  Westminster,   were  covered   with 
flat  ceilings  of  wood,  and  adorned  with 
figures  in  panels  of  great  richness  and 
beauty;  and  the  roof  of  the  interven- 
ing room  was  arched  in  wood.     Expe- 
rience has  proved  that  flat  ceilings  are 
the  best  for  rooms  of  common  habita- 
tion, and  that  this  opinion  was  early 
entertained,  the  above  examples  may 
testify.    The  Norman  manor-house  at 
Appleton  in  Berks,  is  too  imperfect  to 
be  cited  on  the  same  account;  but  that 
at  Winwal  in  the  parish  of  Wereham 
in  Norfolk,  is  ceilen  after  the  manner 
of  a  modern  .house ;  and  the  proof  that 
the  fashion  in  this  initance  is  original, 
appears  in  the  cornice  of  zig-zag  which 
extends  round  the  rooms.    The  choice 
of  flat  ceilings,  therefore,  in  houses  at 
a  period  when  scarcely  the  aile  of  a 
Church,  however  small,  was  left  with- 
out a  groined  vaulting,  is  a  sure  testi- 
mony of  a  system  in  domestic  architec- 
ture, in  which  comfort  and  accommo- 
dation were  mainly  considered. 

The  Section  on  Furniture  is  very  in- 
teresting, but  has  little  to  do  witn  the 
style  of  Domestic  Architecture,  of 
which  the  book  treats.  This  kind  of 
furniture  is  at  best  coarse  and  clumsy, 
— it  will  not  bear  imitation.  Some 
articles  of  beauty  would  no  doubt  be 
found  in  the  dwellings  of  the  ancients; 
but  they  were  far  inferior  to  us  in  do- 
mestic conveniences,  and  the  Bttings- 
up  were  by  no  means  proportioned  to 
the  magnificence  of  the  building. 

The  engravings,  or  rather  etchings, 
are  very  neatly  executed.  Accuracy 
in  the  outline  and  detail  has  been 
chiefly  regarded,  and  these  are  more 
valuable  in  works  of  (he  present  kind, 
than  the  most  highly  finished  engrav- 
ing. The  drawings  are  from  the  au- 
thor's own  pencil.  One  of  the  sub- 
jects, if  we  are  not  mistaken,  appeared 
in  the  last  year*s  exhibition  at  Somer- 
set-house ;  and  several  of  the  engravings 
have  been  long  before  the  public. 

The  titlc-pa^e  is  decorated  with  a 
beautiful  wood-cut  of  the  arms  and 
supporters  of  Henry  VIII.   tastefully 


designed  and  drawn  by  Mr.  Willc* 
ment. 

As  a  work  intended  to  exhibit  the 
skill  of  its  author  in  the  adaptation  of 
ancient  designs  to  modern  habitations, 
this  is  very  valuable  one,  and  likely  to 
correct  the  bad  taste  which,  witn  so 
manv  fine  models  for  imitation,  still  su<- 
perabounds  in  the  profession  to  which 
Mr.  Hunt  belongs.  We  are  glad  to 
see  that  in  these  designs  there  is  no 
straining  after  the  picturesoue — as  if  a 
confused  outline  produced  beauty,  and 
broken  angles,  variety  of  decoratioo» 
and  irregularly  shaped  features,  atoned 
for  inaccurate  deUiU  mixture  of  styles^ 
and  mistaken  notions  of  the  system 
which  governed  the  architects  ofantl- 
quity. 

Uniformity  certainly  is  not  incon- 
sistent with  what  is  misnamed  goikie 
architecture.  It  did  pot  always  extend 
to  inferior  features,  which  however 
were  sometimes  arranged  with  scru- 
pulous exactness.  The  west-  fronts  of 
Christ  Church  in  Oxford,  and  Thorn* 
bury  Castle  may  be  named ;  the  latter 
indeed  is  very  imperfect ;  but  in  the 
splendid  front  of  Hengrave  Hall  there 
once  appeared,  for  the  sake  of  unifor- 
mity, a  window  on  the  east  side  of  the 
porch,  exactly  like  the  curious  bay 
window  of  the  Chapel  on  the  other 
side. 

In  another  respect,  Mr.  Hunt's  de- 
signs are  highly  creditable  to  his  taste 
and  judgment.    They  are  not  loaded 
with  carved  work ;  he  has  trusted  to 
general  features,  and  has  had  but  little 
to  do  with   minute  ornaments.     He 
who  tricks  out  a  design  with   many 
carvings,  betrays  a  want  of  sound  taste, 
and  fancies  he  supplies  with  enrich- 
ment the  deficiency  in  the  order  of  the 
plan  and  the  beauty  of  its  proportions. 
On  the  whole,  it  is  better  to  have  too 
few  than   too  many  ornaments.     By 
simplicity  we  do  not  mean  sullen  se** 
verity,  or  a  total  absence  of  decoration, 
but  only  so  much  as  will  sene  to  in- 
crease the  beauty  of  the  design,  the 
merit  of  which  is  always  diminished 
by  excess  in  this  particular.

expectations,  aad  he  was  obliged  to 
hare  recourse  to  pupils  for  his  own 
sustenance.  Schoolmasters  are  char- 
tered subjects  of  petty  annoyance ;  and 
Mr.  Turner  justly  says  : 

*'  Every  one  who  hu  been  converwnt,  in 
however  slight  «  degree,  with  educatioDy 
knows  that  the  daily  and  hourly  anooyaacef 
neceiaarily  attendant  on  it  are  such>  that  no 
motive  can  ever  thoroughly  reconcile  the 
mind  to  the  irksome  task,  except  the  spur 
of  iome  more  irksome  necessity. '  P.  xsiii. 

The  truth  is,  that  an  opinion  that 
nobody  would  be  a  schoolmaster  who 
could  possibly  help  it,  induces  people 
to  think  that  ihey  roust  and  will  sub- 
mit to  baiting  with  every  kind  of  in- 
dignity ;  and  this  licentiousness  of  in- 
sult is  savagely  exercised  by  coddling 
mothers  and  purse-proud  fathers.  They 
have  only  the  minds  and  feelings  of 
cattle-drovers ;  and  it  is  useless  to  state 
the  utility  and  convenience  of  the  pro- 
fession, and  the  public  good  of  avoiding 
such  conduct,  that  respectable  people 
may  be  induced  to  become  tutors. 
In  their  opinion,  pecuniary  obligation 
ought  to  make  only  humhie  friends 
and  upper  servants.  Poor  Forby  was 
more  than  once  stung  by  snch  insects 
as  to  character.  But  though,  upon 
the  death  of  his  uncle,  the  Rev.  Joseph 
Forby,  he  succeeded  him  in  the  va- 
luable family  living  of  Fincham,  he 
still  continued  a  schoolmaster.  In 
1803,  he  added  to  this  drudgery  that 
of  being  an  acting  justice,  deputy- 
lieutenant,  and  commissioner  of  the 
land-tax.  As  he  had  complained  of 
being  in  the  frying-pan,  as  a  school- 
master, so  it  seems  that,  through  the 
official  labours,  lie  had  only  jumped 
out  of  it  into  the  Are ;  hod  got  into 
roasting  as  well  as  frying;  for  he  says : 

«  Of  the  fatigue  of  my  daily  doroestie 
occupations  you  are  a  competent  judge : 
this  is  to  be  added  to  the  other ;  and  when 
I  have  left  home,  soon  after  breakfast,  and 
return  at  five  o'clock  to  a  solitary  dinner, 
which  I  abhor,  with  my  head  full  of  parish- 
rates,  iurveyors'  accounts,  vagrants,  run- 
away husbands,  assaults,  petty  larcenies, 
militia-lists,  and  substitutes ;  tax-duplicates 
and  distress- warrants,  some  or  all  of  these 
jumbled  together  in  a  horrid  confusion ;  and, 
my  dinner  dispatched,  sit  down  to  have  my 
aching  head  split  by  prosaic  verses,  bad 
themes,  or  abominable  lessons,  tell  me  is  it 
wonderful  if  I  take  up  any  slight  amusement 
that  lies  in  my  ways.  Lick  on  my  shoes  and 
lounge  by  the  fireside,  or  try  to  win  six- 
pence of  my  mother  at  cribbage  ?"  P.  xxvi. 

Mr.  Duwson  Turner  ascribes  his  en* 


durance  of  this  fatigue,  after  the 
quisition  of  a  living,  to  use  becoming 
a  second  nature.  But  as  be  also 
wrote  poetical  squibs,  essays,  &q.  wf 
apprehend  that  he  had  a  veiy  active 
mmd,  a  natural  consequence  of  high 
cultivation,  and  active  minds  require 
perpetual  excitement.  Indolence  it 
misery. 

His  clerical  duties  were  performed 
in  a  most  satisfactory  manner ;  he  i^aa 
a  good  reader,  an  eloquent  preacher^ 
a  comforter  and  benefactor  to  the  poor ; 
in  private  life  an  excellent  son;  and^ 
as  Mr.  Turner  says,  in  his  general  cha* 
racter,  a  most  valuable  man. 

He  continued  to  pursue,  with  the 
addition  only  of  literary  amusemeDts» 
among  which  was  this  work,  the  kind 
of  life  which  we  have  described,  ootil 
December  20,  1825. 

«  Upon  that  day  a  gentlemaa  called  t« 
see  him,  about  one  o'clock,  while  ha  wag 
taking  bis  bath,  as  usuaL  Ahtr  waiting 
a  considerable  period,  the  &mUy  becaoif 
alarmed,  and  upon  opening  the  door,  tbej 
found  that  he  had  fainted  in  the  water,  and 
had  been  suffocated,  and  had  evidently  been 
dead  some  time."  p.  xiv. 

Bishop  Heber,  it  will  be  remember- 
ed, met  with  a  similar  death;  and 
therefore  we  would  recommend  the 
more  harmless  substitute  of  a  shower- 
bath. 

We  shall  now  proceed  to  the  work. 
It  is  hardly  possible  that  words,  pro- 
fessed to  be  purely  Saxon  or  Old 
English,  should  be  merely  provincial, 
because  the  language  was  national. 
We  shall  therefore  take  for  our  ex- 
tracts certain  words  not  of  limited  ap- 
plication. 

"  GuMPTioir,  «.  understanding ;  Jamib- 
soir  and  Pegoe.  Common  sense;  jENNiNOf, 
Common  sense  combined  with  energy; 
BaocKETT.  With  us  it  teems  rather  to 
mean  address  and  shrewdness.  It  is  a  good 
word,  and  may  have  many  shades  of  meaning. 
Moes-g.  gaumian,  percipere.  Brock arr  lias 
gttwm  in  this  sense."   ii.  145. 

This  is  ingenious  and  correct,  for 
there  still  is  a  verb,  fo  gaufm,  i,  e,  to 
mind.  Watson  sajrs,  "In  Halifax,  not 
to  gawm  a  man,  is  not  to  mind  him. 
But  in  the  next  parish,  within  Lanca- 
shire, to  gawm  IS  to  understand  or  to 
comprehend,  and  a  man  is  said  to 
gawm  that  which  he  can  hold  in  his 
hands.  For  this  reason  a  person  is  said 
there  to  be  gawmlesi  when  his  fingers 
arc  so  cold  and  frozen  that  he  has  not 
the  proper  use  of  them.*'— (^n^ion'i

Review. — Dr.  Lirdner's  QibiHet  Cyclopaditf, 


[J 


Dr.  Lardner's  Cabinet  Cifdoprndia : — Fid.  I, 
History  of  Scotland.  By  Sir  Walter  Scott. 
— rol.  II.  History  of  Maritime  and  Inland 
Discovery, 

THIS  is  one  of  those  new  engines  of 
instruction  so  peculiarly  characteristic 
of  the  age  of  improvement  in  which 
we  live.  Its  plan  and  arrangements  are 
entitled  to  our  best  commendations; 
for,  as  intellectual  food,  be  its  quality 
what  it  may,  is  now  as  essential  to 
our  existence  as  our  corporeal  aliment, 
too  mtich  praise  cannot  be  bestowed 
on  those  who  have  adopted  the  best 
means  of  ensuring  an  abundant  and 
cheap  supply  of  the  roost  healthful. 
The  design  of  the  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia 
is,  the  furnishing  popular  compen- 
diumsofall  that  is  useful  and  interesting 
in  art,  science,  and  literature,  from  the 
pens  of  the  most  eminent  writers  of  the 
day.  A  twofold  advantage  is  secured  by 
the  employment  of  none  but  the  most 
profound  and  practised  writers  in  this 
undertaking.  The  high  reputation  of 
such  men,  and  the  generous  emulation 
to  which  their  simultaneous  co-opera- 
tion must  give  birth,  will  be  a  guaran- 
tee of  not  only  the  intellectual  excel- 
lence, but,  what  is  far  more  important, 
the  moral  tendency  of  their  produc- 
tions. This  it  is  that  induces  us  to 
augur  well  of  the  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia, 
and  to  hail  it  as  a  valuable  addition  to 
our  literature. 

With  reference  to  the  two  volumes 
of  the  Cabinet  Cyclopaedia  which  are 
now  lying  before  us,  a  few  words  will 
suffice  to  express  onr  opinion  of  their 
very  great  merits.  The]^  are  both  the 
fruits  of  the  most  extensive  and  pains- 
taking research,  conveyed  in  a  style  of 
such  unbroken  interest,  that  the  widest 
and  loftiest  views  are  as  easily  compre- 
hended by  the  reader  as  the  narrative 
of  the  simplest  fact.  The  History  of 
Scotland,  (ly  Sir  Walter  Scott,  is  a 
beautiful  illustration  of  the  grace  aud 
effect  which  sober  reality  assumes  when 
treated  by  the  pencil  of  genius.  In  no 
work  with  which  we  are  acquainted, 
is  the  progress — in  fact,  the  romance 
of  manners,  painted  with  more  historic 
fidelity,  or  with  half  so  much  pictu- 
resque vividness  of  colouring.  This, 
indeed,  is  the  great  charm  of  the  work 
— which  will  ensure  it  lasting  popu- 
larity. 

The  progress  of  manners  is  also  in  a 

freat  degree  the  main  object  of  the 
listorv  of  Maritime  Discovery,  but  ne- 
cessarily on  a  more  {generalizing  scale. 


'*  It  has  for  its  object,"  tayt  the  wri« 
ter,  "  in  some  measure  the  defining 
the  species,  but  is  more  immediately 
connected  with  the  advancement  of 
navigation  and  commercial  enttrprite. 
Instead  of  confining  the  attention  to 
the  fortunes  of  a  particular  commu- 
nity, it  carries  the  eye  of  the  enquirer 
continually  abroad,  ta  survey  all  the 
nations  of  the  earth,  to  mark  tne  know- 
ledge they  obtained  of  one  another, 
ana  the  extent  of  their  mutual  ac- 
ooaintance.'*  As  the  condensation  of 
facts  in  a  work  of  this  nature  is  ne- 
cessarily greater  than  in  that  of  the 
History  of  Scotland,  the  difficulty  it 
increased  of  sustaining  the  interest  of 
the  narration.  As  a  counterbalance, 
however,  the  individual  sympathy  with 
wild  adventure  and  heroic  suffering  it 
more  unremittingly  excited,  and  the 
thirst  of  curiosity  more  constantly  in- 
flamed to  the  end  of  the  volume.  We 
know  not,  therefore,  which  volume  it 
the  most  interesting;  for,  if  the  His- 
tory of  Scotland  abounds  more  in  ptc- 
turesoue  scenes  of  chivalrous  barons 
and  heroic  knights,  the  History  of 
Maritime  Discovery,  besides  reflecting 
a  philosophic  light  on  the  origin  and 
Customs  of  the  various  nations  of  the 
earth — enchains  the  attention  more 
by  the  spirit  of  adventure,  which  from 
the  birth  of  the  human  race  has  urged 
on  individuals — here  to  explore  Nature 
in  her  "  unmolested  but  barbarous 
majesty,** — there  to  unfold  the  charm 
which  encirles  every  thing  connected 
with  the  splendid  dreams  of  the  an- 
cient kingdoms  of  the  east, — or,  with 
Columbus,  to  dash  over  a  tracklen 
ocean  to  the  possession  of  a  new  world. 

In  our  selection  of  extracts,  we  sh^ll 
depart  from  the  course  usually  follow- 
ed in  the  case  of  eulogy,  and,  instead 
of  an  extract  which  we  might  submit 
to  the  reader  with  our  unqualified 
commendations,  we  shall  present  to 
them  our  reasons  for  not  adopting  two 
new  opinions  which  Sir  Walter  Scott 
and  the  historian  of  Maritime  Disco- 
very have  promulgated  in  their  re- 
spective volumes. 

It  would  appear  from  the  following 
passage,  that  Sir  \A'aIter  Scott  inclines 
to  the  belief  that  Richard  the  Second 
did  not,  as  is  generally  asserted,  ter- 
minate his  life  within  a  short  period 
after  his  deposition,  but  lived  a  cap- 
tive for  many  years  in  Scotland.

preeminent  of  chain^  il  y€t  has  ao 
riffht  to  the  epithet  of  **  cathedral,*' 
which  if  inadTcrtently  bestowed  upon 
it  by  the  historian. 

In  p.  173  it  is  mentioned  that,  on 
the  expedition  of  Edward  Baliol  in 
1314,  Edward  the  Third  "prohibited 
the  disinherited  Barons  entering  Scot- 
land b^  the  land  frontier,  but  connived 
at  their  embarking  at  the  obscure  sea- 
port of  llavenshire,  near  the  mouth  of 
the  Humber."  This  obscure  sea-port, 
now  lost  in  the  waves,  was  situated,  as 
the  historian  says,  quite  at  the  mouth 
of  the   Humber,   whilst  the  present 

Seat  port  of  that  river,  Kington  upon 
ull,  is  about  fifteen  miles  inland.  It 
is  the  same  at  which  Henry  of  Lan- 
caster and  Edward  of  York  each  land- 
ed on  their  successful  invasions,  and 
is  therefore  highly  memorable  in  Ens- 
lish  history.  The  chroniclers  generally 
call  it  Ravenspors,  under  which  name 
it  occurs  more  than  once  in  Shaks- 
peare.  Its  still  older  appellation  is 
Ravenser,  from  which  comes  the  in- 
correct "  jAirc "  of  Sir  Waller  Scott; 
but  perhaps  the  best  modern  ortho- 
graphy is  Ravenspnrne,  the  adjacent 
point  of  land  bemg  still  called  the 
spurn-head.* 

The  writer  of  the  History  of  Mari- 
time and  Inland  Discovery  questions 
the  truth  of  the  opinion  generally 
adopted  bv  historians,  that  by  the  term 
Castiteriaes  the  ancients  meant  the 
Scilly  Isles  and  Cornwall,  then  sup- 
posed to  be  an  island. 

"The  Grsek  nsne  for  tin  fcMnUroO 
wu  derived,  it  has  been  supposed,  from  she 
Phcraioiaot,  who  oricinsUy  usurped  the 
whole  tr»da  of  the  Meditemnetn.  It  is 
not  of  importance  to  controvert  thb  opi- 
nion, whicD,  however,  evidently  rests  on  the 
erroneous  supposition  that  the  word  Kasdira 
was  a  primary  and  original  term  of  the  Phoe- 
nician langlu^;e.  The  name  Cassiterides 
(tin  islands)  is  evidently  but  an  epithet,  im- 
plying the  want  of  particular  acquaintance 
with  the  countries  thus  vaguely  denomi- 
nated. But,  as  geographers  feel  peculiar 
pleasure  in  fixing  the  position  of  every  wan- 
dering name,  the  title  of  tin  islands  was  in- 
considerately bestowed  by  Greek  and  Roman 
writers,  at  one  time  on  real  islands  in  which 
there  was  no  tin,  at  another  on  imaginary 
islands  near  the  coasts  abounding  in  (hat 
metal.     Almost  all  these  accounts  refer  the 


*  See  "  Ocellura  Proroontorium ;  with 
Historic  Facts  relative  to  the  Sea-port  and 
Market- town  of  Ravenspurno,  by  Thomas 
Tliompson,  esq.  F.S.A."  8vo,  1899. 


Cassiterides  to  the  eoess  of  Spam.  Son^ 
writers  place  them  many  days  sail  in  the 
Western  Ocean  j  others,  nearly  opposite  XB 
Gminna  j  but  they  are  never  roentkmad  by 
ancient  aathori  (with  a  single  exceptMo} 
with  respect  to  their  distance  from  the  const 
of  Hritain ;  a  cirennstaace  which«  to  those 
acquainted  with  the  ancient  system  of  navi* 

Stion,  must  be  a  convincing  argument  that 
e  Cassiterides  were  not  the  Sdlly  Islands* 
Ciesar  and  Tacitus,  though  they  mention 
the  gold,  silfer,  iron,  and  pearb  of  Britain^ 
take  hardly  any  notice  of  its  tin  mines. 
Pliny,  moreover,  after  discussing  all  the  ae* 
counts  relating  to  the  Cassiterides,  eoodndes 
that  these  islands  had  but  a  &bulou8  exist* 
ence,  and  observes,  that  in  his  time  tin  was 
brought  from  Galicia." 

Against  this  it  may  be  confidently  af« 
firmed  that,  without  adoptingBochart's 
conjecture,  that  the  term  Dritanmc  is  de* 
rived  from  the  Hebrew  BaruianaCf  ot 
the  land  of  tin  ;  or  Mr.  Turner's  ooa« 
jecture,  that  it  might  rather  come  from 
the  Arabic  Bakrai  Anuk,  the  conntrr 
of  tin ;  the  circumstances  mentioned 
by  Strabo  and  other  ancient  writers  of 
tne  Cassiterides,  apply  only  to  the  Bri« 
tish  isles.  They  were  ten  in  number  ; 
the  largest  was  called  5t7fi/a  or  Sig' 
delis  (hence  Scilly).  They  possessed 
tin  and  lead  mines,  which  no  othef 
island  in  the  same  track  of  the  ancient 
navieators  had ;  they  were  opposite  to 
the  Aslabri  (Galicia/  in  Spain)  with  m 
bend  to  the  north  from  them;  they 
looked  towards  Celtiberia ;  the  sea  was 
much  broader  between  them  and  Spain 
than  between  them  and  Britain ;  and 
they  lay  in  the  great  Iberian  Sea ;  all 
which  circumstances  apply  only  and 
entirely  to  the  Scilly  Isles. 

Pliny  does  not,  as  the  writer  infers^ 
proclaim  the  fabulousness  of  the  Cassi* 
terides,  but  his  ignorance  of  their  posi- 
tive locality.  He  tells  that  the  first 
Phenician  navigator  who  plumbum  ea 
Cassiteride  insula  primus  apparlaviip 
was  one  Midacritus.  (See  his  Hist. 
Nut.  lib.  vii.  c.  37,  and  Camden's  Bri« 
tannia.)

Rbvikw.— Montgomery*!  Saian,  a  Poem. 


[3m^. 


Satan  has  alifthted  in  the  darkness 
of  a  storm  on  the  spot  where  the  Sa- 
viour of  the  world  was  tempted  by,  and 
withstood  him.  The  tempest  subsides, 
and  then  follows  this  beautiful  descrip- 
tion of  the  new-born  day  t 

**The  tempest  diet,  the  winds  have  tuned 

their  ire, 
The  sea-birda  hoTer  on  enchanted  wing ; 
And,  ieve  a  throb  of  thunder,  fiuntlj  heard, 
And  ebbing  knell-like  o'er  yon  western  deep. 
That  now  lies  panting  with  a  wearj  swell. 
Like  a  worn  monster  at  his  giant  length 
Gasping,  with  foam  upon  his  troubled  mane. 
No  sound  of  elemental  wrath  is  heard ; 
llie  Sun  is  up!  look,  where  he  proudly 

comes. 
In  blazing  triumph  wheeling  u'er  the  earth, 
A  victor  m  full  gloir !     At  his  gaze 
The  heavens  magnincently  smile,  and  beam 
With  many  a  sailing  cloud-isle  sprinkled  o'er. 
In  sumptuous  array.     Yes,  land,  aud  air 
Whose   winged  fulness  f^shens  tree  and 

flower,  [skies ! 

Own  thee,  thon  shining  Monarch  of  the 
Now  hills  are  glaring,  rich  the  mountains 

glow,  [p«ur. 

The  streams  run  gladness,  yellow  meads  ap- 
And  palm-woods  glitter  on  Judea's  plain  ; 
Beauty  and  brightness  shed  tlieir  soul  abroad  i 
Then  waken.  Spirit,  whom  no  space  can 

bound. 
And  with  thy  vision  let  me  span  the  world." 

P.  94. 

There  is  a  ^eat  power  in  Satan's 
description  of  himself,  and  of  his  mys- 
terious influence  over  the  world  : 

"  Ere  man  was  fashion'd  from  his  fellow  dost, 
I  was, — and  since  the  sound  of  human  voice 
Has  echoed  in  the  air,  my  darksome  power 
Hath  compass'd  him  in  mystery,  and  in 

might : 
Upon  the  soul  of  sage  Philosophy 
And  Wisdom,  templed  in  the  shrines  of  old. 
Faint  shadows  of  my  being  fell  i  a  sense 
Of  me  thus  deepen  d  through  the  onward 

flood 
Of  ages,  till  substantial  thought  it  grew ; 
A  certainty  sublime,  in  that  great  soul. 
The  epic  God  of  ancient  song,  who  down 
The  infinite  abyss  could  dare  to  gaze, 
And  show  imagination  shapes  of  Hell ! 
And  in  that  Book,  where  Heaven  lies  half 

reveal'd, 
Bv  words  terrific  as  the  herald  flash 
liiat  hints  the  lightning-vengeance  of  the 

storm. 
Am  /  not  vision'd  ? — as  the  Prince  of  Air, 
A  Spirit  that  would  crush  the  Universe, 
And  battle  with  eternity !"     P.  85. 

The  introduction  of  Napoleon  is  not 
in  the  author's  usual  good  taste,  nor 
can  we  refuse  a  smile  when  we  re- 
member who  the  speaker  is  who  reasons 


on  the  *'  splendid  infamy  of  war,"  und 
celebrates  the  glories  of  an  undyine 
fame  won  by  the  great  and  gooo. 
Throughout  the  whole  of  this  passage 
it  is  erident  that  the  poet  is  the  speaker. 
The  sentiments  are  those  of  a  virtuous 
mind  in  its  abhorrence  of  guilt — it  is 
not  the  soliloquy  of  one  whose  prin- 
ciple is  that  of  utfer  and  essenfial  evil, 
yet  constrained  by  the  mere  force  of 
truth  to  do  homage  to  the  virtue  he 
hates.  The  poem  has  too  much  of 
this  inconeruity.  What  can  be  finer 
than  the  following  lines,  depicting  the 
feelings  of  Culumbus  on  his  first  dis- 
covery of  America,  and  yet  in  whose 
mouth  can  ihey  be  more  inappropriate 
than  Satan*s?  After  describing  the 
ocean  wanderers,  amidst  the  doubt  and 
distraction  of  their  perilous  enterprise 
hymning  their  Ave-Marias,  he  says, 
with  enthnsiasm  (p.  66), 

**  But  he  was  destined  ;  and  his  lightabg 

glance 
Shot  o*er  the  deep,  and  darted  on  thy  worldy 
America. — ^Then  mighty,  long,  and  loud. 
From  swelling  hearts  the  Haaeh{jahs  rangf 
And  charm 'd  to  music  the  Atlantic  gales  i 
While,  silent  as  the  Son  above  htm  tnronedp 
Columbus  looked  a  rapture  to  the  skies, 
And  gave  his  glory  to  the  God  of  Heaven." 

But  we  have  yet  two  Books  before 
us,  and  our  space  is  limited.  We  can 
only  admire,  on  passing,  the  beantifbl 
description  of  Egypt,  Helvetia,  France, 
and  the  Island  Queen. 

On  the  Second  Book  we  would  fain 
linger,  but  we  can  give  hot  two  quota- 
tions. Our  female  readers  will  be  elad 
to  know  what  the  Tempter  of  Man<- 
kind  thinks  of  them,  and  how  glow- 
ingly he  praises  what  he  cannot  enjoy. 

''  And  thou. 
The  star  of  home,  who  in  thy  gentleness 
On  the  harsh  nature  of  usurping  man 
Benign  enchantment  canst  so  deeply  smile,— 
Soft  as  a  dew-frll  from  the  brow  of  eve. 
Or    moonlight    shedding    beautyl  on    tht 

storm, —  [ing  heart. 

Woman  !  when  love  has  wreck'd  thy  tmst- 
What  port  remains  to  shelter  thee  !— too 

fond. 
Too  delicately  true,  thy  nature  is. 
Save  for  the  heart's  idolatry ;  and  then. 
Thy  love  is  oft  a  light  to  virtue's  path.' 
It  dawns, — and  witaring  passions  die  away. 
Low  raptures  &de,  pure  feelings  blossom 

forth. 
And  that  which  Wisdom's  philosophic  beam 
Could  never  from  the  wintry  heart  awake. 
By  love  is  imiled  into  celestial  birth ! 
Thus  love  is  Wisddm  with  a  sweeter  name. 
But  such  is  not  for  me !— I  cauiot  lovei

Rbvisw.— -Flaxman's  LecUurti  on  Sculpiurt* 


l* 


therefore  make  the  subttaiioe  of  this 
lectore  our  first  article,  and  add  some 
remarks. 

Mr.  Flaxmao  commeoces  with  the 
BritonSy  who,  he  presumes,  had  no 
sculpture  at  all  before  the  lioman 
times,  and  then  of  very  bad  execution, 
by  inferior  Italian  artists.  He  adduces 
some  bronze  casts,  bad  copies  of  good 
Roman  works,  and  says,  from  a  pas- 
sage in  Speed,  that  tne  Brilons  cast 
magnificent  statues  in  bronze  for  two 
hundred  years  after  the  departure  of  the 
Romans.    (P. 7—9) 

That  the  Britons  carved  monstrous 
idols  in  stone,  is  evident  from  Geldas, 
who  calls  them  "  pene  numero  vin- 
centia  JEgyptiaca,  auornm  nonnolla 
lineamentis  ad  hue  deform  ibus  intra  vel 
extra  deserta  moenia  solitomore  teffitk" 
tia,  torvis  vultibus  iutuemur"  (XV. 
Scriptor.  S.)  Now  we  do  not  recollect 
that  any  Penates  or  Lares  have  been 
found  in  Celiic  barrows,  and  have  read 
that  the  Cells  abhorred  any  represen- 
tations of  their  gods  in  the  numan 
form.  It  is  certain,  too,  that  the  figures 
of  the  Druids  engraved  in  Montfaucon 
and  Borlase  have  no  other  deformity 
than  rudeness  of  execution i  and  the 
scroll-work  on  the  ancient  crosses  is, 
though  in  fantastic  taste,  not  badly 
worked.  As  these  are  affairs  only  of 
curiosity,  not  of  skill,  we  shall  dismiss 
them  with  this  cursory  observation. 

The  fine  fragments  of  good  taste  of 
pottery,  Mr.  Flaxman  pronounces 
importations  from  Italy,  because,  he 
tays,  counterparts  from  similar  moulds 
are  found  in  that  couutry.    P.  10. 

Concerning  the  tesselated  pavements 
•o  frequently  discovered,  Mr.  Flaxman 
thus  spoke : 

**  In  most  of  the  Roomd  mosaics  found 
in  Britain,  the  prinoipal  object  of  the  de- 
sign is  a  fiscchot,  or  an  Orpheiis  playing 
on  his  Ivre.  Those  mosaics  with  the  B&cchus 
an  of  tiM  belt  datign  and  workmanihip,  for 
which  this  reason  may  be  giren — that  the 
Bacchus  Musagetes  was  frequently  intro- 
duced before  the  time  of  Alexander  Sevcrus, 
hi  sarcophagi  and  other  works,  that  divinity 
beina  much  liked  by  the  Romans,  as  patron 
of  the  drama ;  consequently  those  mosaics 
are  likely  to  have  been  done  in  the  course 
of  170  years,  between  the  reign  of  Domi- 
tian,  wnen  the  Britons  adopt^  the  build- 
ings and  decorations  of  the  Romans,  and 
(ha  joar  840,  when  the  Orphic  philosophy 
Sj^read  its  influence  in  the  Roman  empire. 
From  this  period  to  the  year  336,  the  re- 
presentations of  Orpheus  may  be  dated, 
al^r  which  time  they  were  succeeded  by 
Christum  characters  and  symbols/'    P.  1 0. 


To  this  passage  we  deoior.  We 
know  of  an  Apollo  and  Hercules  called 
Musagetes,  but  of  no  Bacchus.  It  is 
true  that  Marcus  Aureliiu  and  Alex- 
ander Severus  did  both  hold  Orpheus 
in  the  highest  honour  x  and  it  is  pos« 
sible  that  the  figure  of^  that  father  of 
fiddles,*  for  the  centre  of  pavementi, 
was  very  fashionable  in  tne  time  of 
those  Emperors;  but  the  mythologists 
say  that  tne  musicians  introduced  the 
worship  of  Bacchus,  and  that  the  Or- 
pheii  were  connected  with  the  latter. 
The  hypothesis  of  Mr.  Flaxman  has 
therefore  a  very  slippery  foundation. 

From  the  third  to  the  fifth  cen- 
tury, says  Maillott,  *'  sculpture,  to 
which  we  are  indebted  for  the  moat 
precious  connaitsancet  of  antiquity,  has 
barely  Itti  us  some  gross  and  shapeless 
sutues,  ill  calculated  to  illustrate  the 
study  of  history*'  (Costumes  et  Usages, 
vol.  iii.  p.  2.)  I  and  according  to  the 
coins  of  Merovec  and  Childeric,  the 
imitation  of  the  Roman  style  of  that 
sera  is  palpable.  (Idem,  pi.  i.)  Fa- 
shions in  the  whole  middle  aee  tra- 
velled from  Italy  to  France,  and  from 
thence  to  England.  Mr.  Flaxman 
therefore  very  correctly  observes,  that 
the  heads  of  the  Saxon  kings  upon 
their  coins  were  borrowed  from  those 
of  Dioclesian,  &c.  upon  the  Roman 
money  (p.  10).  Their  sculpture,  he 
says  (p.  11,  IS),  was  horrible  and  bur^ 
lesque.  But  there  are  exceptions.  The 
discovery  of  the  coffin  of  Saint  Cutb* 
bert  has  given  us  some  carved  figures 
from  which  we  may  determine  the 
style.  The  drawing  is  exceedingly 
bad,  fit  only  for  schoolboys  (see  Raine'a 
St.  Cuthbert,  pi.  iv.  &c.)  There  are 
other  sculptures,  especiallv  of  scrolls 
and  dragons;  but  we  know  from 
Olaus  Wormius,  that  the  northern 
nations  annexed  an  allegorical  mean- 
ing to  monsters,  and  that  they  were  in 
many  instances  similar  to  the  "  armes 
parlantes'*  of  heraldry,  and  rebuses 
upon  names.  Mr.  Raine,  speaking  of 
Cfuthbert's  coffin  (p.  IQO),  says,  that 
"a  sharp  pointed  knife,  or  some  such 
instrument,  certainly  not  a  cAite/,  and 
a  scrieve,  or  goodge,  were  evidently 
used.''  How  sculpture  in  stone,  un- 
der the  desideratum  of  a  chisel,  could 
be  executed,  we  know  not. 

Concerning  sepulchral  figures  Mr. 
Flaxman  says : 

*  Fiddles  are  only  lyres  with  a  neck,  played 
by  a  bow  instead  of  a  plectrum. — Rav.

never  produced  two  finer  prwlraie

"  admirable."'     P.  in, 

Mr.  Dallaway,  the  late  editor  of

RtYttw.^^Memoin  of  Simon  Bolwar, 


[Jan. 


Toond  tbt  baMineDtt  forcibly  «rrett  the 
attention  y  «nd  carry  the  thoughts  not  only 
to  other  ages  hot  to  other  states  of  exbt- 
•ttce."    P.  90. 

We  refer  our  readers  to  the  figures 
of  the  two  angels  in  Carter's  Glou- 
cester Cathedral,  published  by  the  So- 
ciety of  Antiquaries,  in  proof  that  this 
eulogy  is  not  too  enthusiastic. 

Mr.  Flaxman  then  proceeds  to  the 
filleenih  century,  and  fixes  upon  as 
fine  specinnens,  the  statue  of  Hen.  VI. 
holding  the  sceptre  tn  both  hii  hands, 
at  All  Souls'  College,  Oxford ;  the 
Coronation  of  Henry  V.  at  Wesmin- 
ster  Abbey,  and  the  monument  of 
liichard  Beauchamp  Earl  of  Warwick, 
at  Warwick.     Of  the  former  he  says : 

'*  The  sculpture  is  bold  and  character- 
istic, the  equestrian  group  is  furious  and 
warlike,  the  standing  figures  have  a  natural 
sentiment  in  their  scticos,  and  simple  gran- 
deur in  their  draperies,  such  as  we  admire 
in  the  paintings  of  Raphael  or  Massacio." 
P.  29. 

Of  the  latter,  done  by  William  Aus- 
tin, of  London, 

*'  The  ficures  are  so  natural  and  grace- 
ful, the  architecture  so  rich  and  delicate, 
that  they  are  excelled  by  nothing  done  in 
Italy  of  the  ssme  kind  at  this  time,  although 
Donatello  and  Ohiberti  were  living  when 
this  tomb  was  executed  in  the  year  1489." 
P.  99. 

We  shall  now  make  the  following 
extract  concerning  Henry  the  Seventh's 
Chapel,  and  the  extinction  of  our  me- 
diaeval sculpture: 

'<  The  building  of  all  others  most  intended 
for  a  receptacle  and  displav  of  sculpture, 
was  Henry  the  Seventh's  chspel,  at  West- 
minster. It  is  founded  on  good  presump- 
tion, that  Torregiano  was  employed  uo  the 
tomb  oalv,  and  had  no  concern  with  the 
building  or  the  statues  with  which  it  is  em- 
bellished. The  structure  appesrs  to  have 
been  finished,  or  nearly  so,  before  Torregi- 
ano l»egan  the  tomb,  and  there  is  reason  to 
think  tlist  lie  did  not  stay  in  this  country 
more  than  six  years,  which  time  would  be 
nearly,  if  not  quite,  taken  up  in  the  execu- 
tion of  the  tomb  and  some  other  stAtues 
about  it  now  destroyed,  together  with  the 
rich  pedestals  and  enclosure.  The  archi- 
tecture of  the  tomb  has  a  mixture  of  Romsn 
arches  and  decoration  very  different  from 
the  arches  of  the  chspel,  which  are  all 
pointed.  The  figures  of  the  tomb  have  a 
better  proportion,  and  drawing,  than  those 
of  the  chapel,  but  the  figures  of  the  chapel 
are  very  superior  in  noble  simplicity  and 
gca  ndeur  of  character  and  draperv. 

"  After  the  observations  ou  this  building 


we  matt  take  a  long  faraweU  of  sueh  noble 
and  magnificent  effects  of  art,  in  raithig 
which  the  intention  of  our  ancestors  was  to 
add  a  solemnity  to  religions  worship,  to 
impress  on  the  mmd  those  Tirtoes  which 
adorn  and  exalt  humanity.'*    P.  95. 

Such  IS  the  substance  of  Mr.  Flax« 
man's  first  lecture.  The  subject  is 
treated  in  detail  in  Garter's  elaborate 
work.  The  fact  is,  that  people  treat 
medieval  sculpture  in  reference  to  the 
Grecian,  which  regards  only  the  ho* 
man  figure  in  nudity,  and  is  as  difleN 
ent  from  the  Gothic  as  calligraphic 

E!nmanship  is  from  the  black-letter, 
oth  the  design  and  the  taste  were 
toto  ccelo  distinct.  The  display  of 
breasts,  legs,  and  arms,  was  not  sought 
in  the  latter.  The  one  object  was  the 
human  figure  deified ;  the  other  ex- 
cluded perfection  of  person,  and  con- 
sidered only  religious  effect  in  the  cha- 
racter and  attitude;  and  that  both 
admirably  succeeded  in  their  respective 
styles,  is  beyond  question.

THE  only  means  of  retaining  dis- 
tant colonies  in  obedience,  are  the 
exercise  of  virtue  in  the  Governon, 
and  advantages  resulting  from  the  con- 
nection. Our  success  in  India  has 
been  owing  to  such  conduct;  it  has 
conferred  upon  the  people  benefits  un- 
known unoer  the  despotism  of  their 
native  princes.  Instead  of  acting  with 
similar  policy,  the  S|>aniards  made 
slaves  of  the  people  of  Sooth  America, 
and  of  the  country,  a  golden  apple  of 
the  Hesperides,  of  which  they  ex- 
tracted the  sweet  juice.  As  soon  as 
the  parent  country  was  irrecoverably, 
according  to  appearance,  struggling 
under  the  constrictions  of  the  French 
Boa,  the  auriferous  colony  seised  the 
opportunity  of  proclaiming  its  inde- 
pendence.   This  was  the  first  step. 

It  has  generally  been  supposed  by 
our  countrymen,  that  South  America 
is  another  Paradise,  in  the  state  of 
Eden  before  the  fall,  and  its  natives, 
noble-minded  Greeks  and  Romans, 
combating    for    liberty.     The    truth.

Review.— -Aftfrnoiri  of  Simon  Bolioar, 


[Jan; 


iht  concerns  of  the  moment.  I  often  en- 
denroured  to  bring  him  into  Mrioos  conver- 
sation on  these  8ubjects>  but  he  would  itl- 
wnys  interrupt  me  j  *  yes»  yes,  mon  cher  ami, 
I  know  that,  it  is  very  good ;  bnt  apropos' — 
and  immediately  turned  the  conversation 
upon  some  dliFereot  subiect. 

''  His  reading,  which  is  very  little,  con- 
sists of  light  history  and  tales.  He  has  no 
library,  or  collection  of  books,  l>efitting  his 
rank,  and  the  place  he  has  occupied  for  the 
last  fifteen  years.  He  is  passionately  fond 
of  the  sex,  and  has  always  two  or  three 
ladies,  of  whom  one  is  the  favourite  mistress* 
who  follow  him  wherever  he  goes. 

<*  Dancing  is  an  amusement  of  which  he 
IS  also  passionately  fond.  Whenever  he 
stays  two  or  three  days  in  a  place,  he  gives 
a  ball  or  two,  at  which  he  dances  in  his 
boots  and  spurs,  and  makes  love  to  those 
ladies  who  happen  to  please  him  for  the 
moment.  Next  to  this  amusement  he  likes 
his  hammock,  where  he  sits  or  lolls,  con- 
versing or  amusing  himself  with  his  fa- 
▼onrite  mistress,'  or  other  favourites,  some 
of  whom  I  have  named  in  the  course  of  thb 
work.  During  this  time  he  is  inaccessible 
to  all  others.  The  aid-de-camp  on  duty 
says  to  those  who  have  important  business 
to  transact  with  him,  '  His  Excellency  Is 
deeply  engaged  at  present,  and  can  see  no 
one.*  When  he  is  out  of  humour,  he  swears 
like  a  common  bully,  and  orders  people  out 
of  his  presence  in  the  rudest  and  most  vnlcar 
manner.  From  his  habits  of  life,  or  rather 
from  his  love  of  pleasure,  it  happens  that 
many  matters  of  business  are  heaped  to- 
gether, and  left  to  his  Secretary,  as  his  de- 
cree of  8th  March*  1 897,  fixinc  the  Custom- 
house duties  of  Venezuela,  wnich  is  attri- 
buted to  Ravenga,  and  which  has  destroyed 
the  commerce  of  the  country.  When  he 
suddenly  recollects  some  business,  he  calls 
his  Secretary,  and  directs  him  to  write  tbe 
letter  or  the  decree.  This  brings  more  to 
mind,  and  it  often  happens  that  in  one  day 
he  hurries  off  the  work  of  fifteen  or  twenty. 
In  this  manner  it  ofben  happens,  that  de- 
creet made  on  the  same  day  are  in  direct  op- 
poslUon  to  each  other. 

*'  General  Bolivar  has  adopted  the  habits 
and  customs  of  the  European  Spaniards. 
He  ukes  his  siesta  (noon  nsp)  regularly, 
and  eats  his  meals  an  the  manners  of  the 
Spaniards.  He  goes  to  Uriulias  (coteries), 
gives  rejreseost  and  always  dances  the  first 
minoet  with  the  lady  highest  in  rank  in  the 
company.  This  old  Spanish  custom  is 
strictly  observed  throughout  Colombia. 

**  loasmnch  as  General  Bolivar  is  the 
sport  of  circumstances.  It  is  difficult  to  trace 
kis  character.  Bolivar,  in  success^  di£Fers 
■oC  circumstantially  alone  from  Bolivar  in 
•dversi^  s  be  is  quit*  another  man.  When 
•aeeessnJ,  ha  is  vain,  haughty,  ill-natured, 
violent  i  at  the  same  time,  the  slightest  cir- 
^mstaiices  will  so  excite  his  jealousy  of  his 


authority,  that  he  vrests,  and  sometimee 
condemns  to  capital  punishment  those  wliom 
he  suspects.  Vet  ne  in  a  great  measure 
conceals  these  fimlts,  under  the  pollteaeu 
of 'a  man  educated  in  the  so  called  beau 
monde,  Tliey  appear  in  his  fits  of  passion, 
but  not  however  unless  he  is  sure  of  having 
the  strength  on  his  side,  the  bayonets  at 
his  command.  When  he  finds  himself  in 
adversity,  and  destitute  of  aid  from  withoot, 
as  he  often  did  from  1818  to  1818,  he  is 
perfiBCtly  free  from  passion  and  violeneo  of 
temper.  He  then  becomes  mild,  patient, 
docile,  and  even  submissive.  Thoee  who 
have  seen  him  in  the  ehanges  of  his  fortune, 
will  agree  that  I  have  not  overcharged  the 
picture." 

The  representations  of  an  eiieoiy  are 
distortions  in  caricature.  Bolivar  ia 
plainly  not  a  hero,  saint,  or  philo« 
sopher,  but  he  is  a  capital  managing 
fellow ;  a  finished  man  of  the  world, 
who  has  acquired  the  happy  knack  of 
disarming  political  ladfertity  of  much 
of  its  miscnief.  He  avoids  irritation. 
Of  bis  attorney  ism,  tbe  following  ex« 
tracts  give  more  than  sufficient  atUf sta- 
tion. 

'<  The  predominant  traits  in  the  character 
of  General  Bolivar  are,  ambition,  vanity, 
thirst  for  absolute  undivided  power,  and 
profound  dissimulation.  He  is  more  cun- 
ning, and  understands  mankind  better  than 
the  mass  of  his  countrymen;  he  adroitly 
turns  every  circumstance  to  his  own  ad- 
vantage, and  spares  nothing  to  gain  those 
he  thioks  will  he  of  present  use  to  him.  He 
is  officious  in  rendering  them  little  services ; 
he  fiatters  them,  makes  them  brilliant  pro- 
mises ;  finds  whatever  they  suggest  very 
useful  and  important,  and  is  ready  to  follow 
their  advice.  A  third  person  suggests  some- 
thing to  him,  or  he  meets  with  some  unex- 
pected success — instantly  he  resumes  his 
true  character,  and  becomes  vain,  haaghl^, 
cross,  and  violent ;  forgets  all  services  and 
all  obligations,  speaks  with  contempt  of 
those  he  had  just  courted,  and  if  tliey  are 
powerless  abandons  them,  but  always  mani- 
fests a  disposition  to  spare  those  wnom  he 
knows  able  to  resist  him.*'    ii.  236. 

All  this  shows  that,  if  Bolivar  be 
not  an  invincible  General,  what  man- 
kind deem  a  demigod,  he  is  at  least  a 
deep  Machiavelian.  The  extract  quoted 
showb  only  this,  that  he  makes  friends 
wherever  and  by  what  means  he  can, 
but  crushes  all  who  are  likely  to  com- 
pete with,  or  to  obstruct  him.  Philo- 
sophers know,  that  physical  power 
alone  (for  nobody-  envies  a  steam- 
engine)  can  overcome  rivalry,  and  that 
selfishness  in  consequence  becomes  an 
affair  of  prudence.    Enemies,  or  dan-

bills  of  fortune.  He  it,  of  courtf, 
withoat  heart,  and  it  insincere.  Our 
authoress  says  of  Talle^^rand,  the  first 
iutellectuulist  of  the  nation : 

«  He  even  boatted  of  havinff  oaee  nada 
M.  dt  TdleyrEnd  tpe«k  the  truth ;  but  this 
appears  so  extraordinary  that  I  can  scarcely 
renturt  to  believe  it."  il  87,  88. 

Fouch^  is  another  incomparable  fel- 
low ;  and  the  fact  is,  that  poor  Louis 
did  not  know  how  ta  trust  one  of 
them ;  while  Buonaparte  knew  that  the 
affection  of  the  army  elevated  him 
above  their  power,  and  that  while  he 
could  feed  them  they  were  faithful ;  but 
his  |K>wer  to  do  so  ceasing,  I  hey  ratted 
accordingly.  Principle  had  nought  to 
do  with  their  actions.  This  conduct 
may  be  found  eren  among  the  country* 
men  of  Sir  Robert  Wal pole,  who  said, 
that  "  every  man  'lad  his  price  j*'  but 
the  difference  is  this :  such  renegades 
are  detested  and  despised  in  Walpole's 
nation,  but  not  in  the  other.  The 
patriotism  of  France  is  estimated  by 
mere  services  to  the  sute,  in  a  military 
or  civil  view,  by  the  calibre  of  skill  in 
war  or  policy ;  and  the  understanding 
capable  of  administration  is  the  highest 
in  the  graduated  scale.  Our  authoress 
OSes  such  a  scale;  and  though  Soult 
was  second  in  command  under  Na* 
poleon  at  Waterloo,  she  nevertheless 
calls  him  one  who  had  become  a 
Hncere  royalist,  and  was  a  man  of  in- 
tegrity, if.  33. 

Louts  was,  in  the  same  style,  a 
thorough  Frenchman — a  good  and  i 
well-meaning  man,  but  who,  never- 
theless, deemed  duplicity  no  vice  of 
heart.  He  wrote  to  his  present  Ma- 
jesty to  acknowledge,  in  gratitude, 
"  that,  next  to  God,  he  was  the  bene- 
factor to  whom  he  owed  his  throne ;" 
and  he  says  to  the  Duke  of  Wellington, 
**  that  his  birth,  in  the  same  year  with 
Napoleon,  was  a  counteracting  pur- 
pose of  Providence.'*  Our  authoress  is 
angry  that  these  declarations  should  be 
considered  as  any  other  than  mere 
compliments — not  grateful  acknow- 
ledgments of  essential  services;  and 
represents  Louis  an,  iu  private,  insult- 
ing the  Prince- Regent  and  all  the 
Allies.  Allowances  are,  however,  to 
be  made  for  the  poor  King :  he  could 
not  appear  un-frencA  I  and  nature  had 
made  of  them  a  caste  superior  to  the 
rest  of  the  human  species — the  beau 
ideal  of  our  race— children  of  Adam 
born  before  the  fall  I 


Louis  thought,  that  by  giving  them 
the  charter,  be  had  done  all  that  was 
needful:  but  how  was  he  to  tatitfy 
Mridiert  without  war,  ami  functionariea 
without  places  ?  There  was  a  natioo 
on  fire,  and  he  was  a  water*engine 
sent  to  quench  it.  He  was  insufficient, 
and  the  Allies  were  bronadit  up,  as 
more  engines,  and  succeeded. 

The  book  before  us  commits,  how* 
ever,  the  greatest  errors  with  regard  lo 
the  politics  of  this  country  and  tbt 
Allies.  The  authoress  charges  them 
with  the  most  impracticable,  and,  as 
such,  insane  projects ;  vis.  of  dis* 
memberin^  and  parcelling  out  France. 
The  real  mtention  was  merely  that 
suggestion  of  Burke ;  viz.  that  it  was 
in  vain  to  expect  France  to  be  quiet, 
until  it  was  either  subdued  fc^  arms 
beyond  hope  of  successful  resistance, 
or  ruined  by  exhaustion  and  devas- 
tation, like,  in  Burke*s  figure,  a  dead 
horse  in  a  field,  skeletonis^  by  beasts, 
birds,  and  insects.  This,  however, 
she^  could  not  understand;  for  our 
invincible  Duke  was  a  mere  man  of 
straw ;  Blucher  a  savage ;  the  King 
of  Prussia  no  better;  the  £mperor 
Alexander  somewhat  superior,  because 
he  was  gallant  to  the  kdies;  and 
the  poor  Austrian  Monarch  a  cipher, 
a  mere  honJtomme.  Want  of  ncssd, 
or  treachery  on  the  French  side,  our 
authoress  deems  the  sole  cause  of  the 
success  of  these  poor  imbeciles ;  md 
out  of  all  her  uobagged  cats,  as  to 
foreign  politics,  there  is  only  one  that 
is  probable ;  viz.  that  the  burnt  child, 
tilt*  Emperor  of  Austria,  had  made  a 
secret  treaty  with  Napoleon,  which 
covenanted  to  join  him  if  he  won 
the  first  battle.  Now,  we  think  ttuit 
the  direction  of  Napoleon's  march  to- 
wards Brussels,  does  imply  such  a  pri- 
vate understanding  with  his  father- in* 
law. 

We  have  too  little  space  for  much 
remark.  The  hook  in  our  judgment, 
as  we  have  before  hinted,  more  than 
any  that  we  have  read,  conveys  the 
clearest  idea  of  the  state  of  France  be- 
tween the  first  and  second  restorations 
of  the  old  French  monarchy ;  of  the 
then  existing  national  feeling ;  and  of 
the  great  public  characters;  and  we 
believe  it  to  be  substantially  a  most 
accurate  picture  of  the  events  and  per- 
sons. We  think  so,  because  every 
thing  is  probable  and  natural.  Our 
authoress,  in  modesty  (for  even  French

comni'itted  by  him  on  more  known  ground :

third,  ae  stated  by  Mr.  Forster.  As  I  have 
restored  the  misukes  to  their  actual  ownen, 
I  venture  to  reverse  their  awnments ;  and, 
from  the  aoouraej  of  the  Journal  in  the 
paru  that  are  known,  to  infer  its  aoeuracj 
in  the  unknown  regions. 

''The  line  of  the  route  is  not  disputed,

one  exception :  Aenophon  did  not  cross  the

835. 

We  shall  now  give  a  list  of  most 
of  the  places  appropriated  by  Mr.  Wil- 
liams. 

The  first  city  which  Mr.  Williams 
professes  10  recover,  is  Echaiana*,  and 
this  he  says  (p.  57),  must  be  at  or  near 
Ispahan. 

Colossal  is  presumed  to  have  been 
merged  in  Chonce,  which,  the  author 
thinks,  was  in  or  near  the  large  village 
or  town  of  Gun^.     P.  80.

road,  about  twenty-six  miles  from  Bir. 
P.  137. 

licsama,  the  modern  Rasal-Aln.  P. 
140. 

Callinicum,  either  the  same  with 
Nicephorium,  or  a  town  op|)osite,  on 
Tu^  Essays  on  the  Geography  of  Ancient  5*^^  "l'^*^'  *i*^^  °^  ^^c  Bilectra.  near  its 
Aiiai    intended  partly  to  iUustrate  the     J""Ction  with  the  Euphrates,  no  doubt 


lice  to  the  bhtt-itockingitm  of  her 
coaniry,  in  aaying,  that  it  it  not  pe- 
dantic, hot  most  lively  and  interest- 
ing. 

Upon  the  whole,  Louis  was  too 
eood  a  man  for  the  nation ;  the  frogs 
Sad  a  devouring  serpent  for  a  king, 
and  yet  they  liked  him ;  they  deemed 
Loait  a  los,  though  he  was  onljr  a 
kind-hearten  human  being,  that  pitied 
tbcm.  Bat  a  king  without  an  army  it 
a  carpenter  without  tools;  and  to  tup* 
pose  that  Bonaparte*t  old  army  would 
iQpply  the  desideratum,  was  as  rational 
as  to  think  that  police-x>fficert  could  be 
made  out  of  professed  thieves,  or  the 
fdine  protectors  out  of  rais.  To  add 
to  the  folly,  it  was  supposed  by  the 
Ultras  that  Louis  could  reinstate  them, 
aod  replace  every  thing  in  the  status 
ante  helium  f  and  this  they  thought, 
although  he  had  not  the  means  of  even 
sopponing  himself  upon  the  throne. 
It  was  ODly  the  exhaustion  of  France, 
and  the  unexpected  return  of  Napo- 
leon, that  aaved  him  and  his  family 
from  assassination ;  and  had  he  at- 
tempted to  go  the  lengths  which  the 
Ultras  desired,  that  would  have  been 
his  immediate  fate;  Bonaparte  would 
have  been  recalled,  and  the  nation 
have  supported  him  with  an  enthu- 
siasm as  great  as  that  of  the  Revolu- 
tion. 

We  have  gone  to  this  length  because 
we  respect  the  private  character  of 
Louts,  and  know  that  his  conduct,  un- 
der all  the  circumstances,  had  every 
characteristic  of  wisdom.

Every  body  must  be  aware  that,  to 
discuss  such  ancient  geograpical  ques- 
tions is  no  easy  task ;  and,  whatever 
may  be  the  opinion  of  travellers  and 
scholars  as  to  the  success  of  Mr.  Wil- 
liams,  it  is  certain  that  the  work  evinces 
learning,  industry,  and  acumen.  It  is 
professedly  a  scholar*s  book,  but  is  oc- 
casionally enlivened  by  some  curious 
matters;  one  is,  the  presumed  origin 
of  Vitrified  Forts,  Druidical 
Bonfires,  Nebuchadnezzar's  Fur- 
nace, &c. 

*<  Of  the  prevalence  of  fire-worship  at 
Pasargada,  we  have  an  interesting  account 
in  Appian's  History  of  the  Mithridatic  Wan, 
which,  although  long,  I  shall  here  insert,  as 
it  may  tend  to  call  furth  some  interesting 
infomiatlon,  aad  induce  future  travellers 
wore  nanowly  to  observe  the  summits  of 


remarkable  hilk  in  the  East,  where  probaNy 
will  hefiund  whataatkpiaries  call  vitrified 
FORTS.  '  Mithridates  offered  a  saerifioe,  a^ 
ter  the  manner  of  bb  aacettort,  to  Jupiter 
Siratitts,  having  heaped  upon  a  loftj  mil  a 
loftier  pile  of  wood.  Tbe  kings  themselves 
carry  toe  first  pieces  of  wood  to  the  pile. 
They  form  anotoer  pile  circular  aad  lower. 
On  the  upper  they  place  hooey,  mUk,  wine 
and  oil,  with  every  species  of  inoense ;  on 
the  lower  (or  on  the  one  in  the  plain)  a  ban- 
quet is  spread  for  the  refrasluiieat  of  fAnt 
spectators.  They  then  set  fire  to  the  pile. 
The  Persian  kipgs  have  a  similar  saerifiee  aS 
Pasargada ;  and  the  blazing  pile,  on  acoomt 
of  its  magnitude,  becomes  visible  to  sailors 
at  a  distance  of  1000  stadia;  aad  they  say, 
that  it  is  impossible  to  approaoh  the  spojt  ror 
several  days  on  account  of  the  heat  of  the 
atmosphere.  Thus  Mithridates  offered  a  sa- 
crifice, after  the  manner  of  his  ancestors.' 
May  we  not,  from  this  description,  concloda 
that  the  fiery  furnace,  into  which  the  three 
children  were  thrown,  was  a  mockery  of  the 
religious  rites  of  the  fire-worsbipipers,  and 
that  Nebuchadnezzar,  by  casting  living  be- 
ings into  it,  wished  to  pollute  the  god  of 
the  Medes  and  Persians,  and  add  insult  to 
conquest.  The  choice  to  the  gneber  was 
terrible — either  submission  to  the  tyrant's 
order,  or  to  become  the  instrument  of  etmr 
tami  Dating  the  sacred  emblem  byapollntioB 
which  his  soul  abhorred. 

'<  Pliny  fixes  the  position  of  the  ^rion 
Ecbatana,  by  informing  us,  that  on  Mount 
Carmel  there  was  a  town  formerly,  eaJIcd 
Ecbatana.  Is  it  too  much  to  suppose,  that 
when  , Elijah  challenged  the  priests  of  Baal 
to  meet  nim  on  Mount  Carmel,  he  did  it 
because  it  was  their  own  high  place,  thdr 
favourite  spot  for  kindling  tlM  religions  pile, 
and  making  its  reflection  in  the  heavens 
visible  from  the  borders  of  Egypt  to  the  city 
of  Tyre  ?  According  to  the  miptores,  their 
altar  was  already  made.  My  own  firm  con- 
viction  is,  that  the  Prophet  intended  to 
defeat  them  by  an  appeal  to  the  very  element 
of  which  they  profeMed  themselves  the  de- 
voted worshippers."  P.  73. 

Concerning  Goliath  and  the  Philis- 
tines, Mr.  Williams  says : 

<*  Many  commentators  on  the  Koran,  and 
other  Oriental  writers,  affirm,  that  Thaloth 
or  Goliath,  was  descended  firom  the  Curds ; 
or,  mora  properly  speaking,  that  the  Philis- 
tines deduced  bv  us  from  the  Egyptians  were 
a  Curdish  race.     P.  946.

■oroetimet  of  coDsiderable  dimentionB,  voA 
ia  known  u  the  jrellow  sot.  This  ■peciet, 
which  is  not  food  of  ro«ning  from  Donie> 
and  likoi  to  have  all  its  eonvtniencM  within 
reach,  usually  collect*  in  its  nett  a  large 
hord  (if  a  kind  of  aphut  that  derives  iu 
oourlshment  firom  the  roots  of  grass  and 
other  plants.  Tliese  it  tmnsports  from  the 
neighhouring  roots,  probably  by  subter- 
ranean galleries,  excavated  for  the  purpose, 
leading  from  the  nest  in  all  directions,  and 
thus  without  going  out,  it  has  always  at 
hand  a  copious  supply  of  food.  These  crea- 
tures share  its  care  and  solicitude  equally 
with  its  own  offspring.  To  the  eggs  it 
pays  particular  attention,  mobtening  them 
with  %u  tongue,  carrying  them  in  its  mouth 
with  the  utmost  tenderness,  and  giving  them 
the  advantage  of  the  sun."  Pp.  917 — SI 9. 
We  have  thus  given  extracts  tuffi- 
cieot  to  show  the  curious  matters 
found  in  this  book.  We  have  only  to 
add,  that  Mr.  Rhind  has  dressed  them 
up  in  a  most  eloquent  and  interesting 
style,  accompanied  with  instructive 
delineations  of  the  ineffable  wisdom  of 
Providence. 

Tala  qfFour  Nations,    In  Ihree  volumet. 

NOVELS  have  an  advantage  over 
many  other  books,  because  they  are 
read  through  with  a  certain  desff^  of 
attention.  If  they  impress  moraltruths 
and  augment  knowledge  of  life,  no 
objection  can  be  reasonably  made  to 
a  perusal  of  them  ;  and  if  they  do  treat 
chiefly  of  courting  (under  prudent 
forms),  and  end  in  matrimony,  cer- 
tainly that  is  the  only  moral  and  legi- 
timate object  of  courtship.  They  moy 
indeed  be  said  to  stimulate  courting 
prematurely ;  but  we  doubt  whether  ii 
would  be  possible  to  prevent  youns 
people  from  this  whether  they  read 
novels  or  not.  Courting  therefore  is 
amongst  the  most  natural  of  human 
events ;  and  these  tales,  like  all  others, 
turn  upon  the  same  pivot.  The  only 
mistake  is,  that  the  heroes  of  novels 
are  generally  in  character  real  heroes, 
whereas  the  majority  of  lovers  in  actual 
life  are  very  far  from  having  such  lofty 
pretensions;  they  are  morally  mere 
enthusiasts  as  to  the  charms  of  their 
rcfSpective  mistresses,  or  cold  calculators 
of  their  fortunes. 

The  tale  called  the  Ambuscade  is 
the  best ;  and  the  hero,  a  captain  of  a 
frigate,  would  not  disgrace  the  Iliad  or 
£peid.  The  character  of  the  "  Cubs 
of  the  British  Lion,'*  i.  e.  our  sailors, 
and  of  some  smugglers  of  all  nations. 


are  excclleDtly  drawn.  There  it  mixh 
humour  in  the  French  t muggier 
Belitro. 

The  character  of  Phil  the  tailor,  a 
genuine  Tom  Pipes,  it  very  interesting. 

Von  Puffendorf  and  Fernandez  \ne 
Mexican,  are  fine  characters  in  the 
other  tales ;  but  we  tmst  that  we  need 
not  say  more  in  favour  of  the  book. 

The  Foreign  Review,  No,  IX, 

THE  great  distinction  of  English 
and  foreign  literature  is,  according  to 
the  works  noticed  in  this  valuable  fte- 
view,  the  preponderance  of  imagina- 
tion over  reason.  We  have  not  teen  a 
tingle  foreign  writer  who  can  be  called 
(to  use  the  term  out  of  the  technical 
sense)  a  logician.  If  conclusions  do 
occur,  there  are  no  premises ;  if  there 
are  feet,  there  are  no  legi.  Bat  we 
must  proceed  to  the  articles. 

I.  Biographuqf  Jeati  Paul  Frede* 
rick  Richter,  i  hit  was  a  man  of  very 
uncommon  talents,  but  exhibited  witli 
such  wildness  of  fancy  as  would  be  an 
exemplar  to  Englishmen  of  the  truth 
of  the  line, 

*'  Great  wiu  to  OMidness  nearly  are  aHicd." 

Every  body  knows  the  story  of  Gold- 
smith's contented  Sailor;  but  not  how 
superior  mind  may  prevent  debate- 
men!  of  character,  too  usual  under  the 
severest  extremities  of  indigence.  For 
year  upon  year  was  poor  Richter 
doomed  to  feel  that,  though  an  appe- 
tite is  a  certain  thing,  a  dinner  is  noi; 
but  Providence  flogged  him  into  con- 
tcntiiient,  in  the  fine  language  of  the 
Critic  in  this  masterly  article : 

*<  On  this  forsaken  youth,  Fortune  seam- 
ed to  have  let  loose  her  ban  do«,  and  hun- 
gry ruin  had  him  in  the  wind.  Without:  was 
no  help,  no  counsel ;  but  thers  lay  a  giant 
force  within ;  and  so  from  the  depths  of 
that  sorrow  and  abasement,  his  beUer  soul 
rose  purified  and  inviueible,  like  Hercules 
from  his  long  labours.  A  high  clieerfbl 
stoicism  grew  up  in  the  man.  Poverty,  pain, 
and  all  evil  he  learned  to  regard  not  as  what 
they  seemed,  but  as  what  they  warci  ha 
learned  to  despise  them,  nay.  In  kind 
mockery  to  sport  with  tliero,  as  with  bright 
spotted  wild  beasts  which  he  had  tamed  and 
harnessed."     pp.  17,  18. 

For  many  years  did  this  eaglet  open 
his  mouth,  and  scream  for  food  ;  out 
his  noble  race  was  at  last  recognized ; 
he  was  fed  and  patronized  \  soared,  and 
was  admired.

Review.— Cox  on  tiie  Liiur/^.— *Tunnard*s  Addreu.        [Jan. 


The  Liturgy  remtd^  w  the  Necestiiy  and 
Beneficial  Effects  <^an  authorised  Atridg- 
nenl^  f^c,  SfC,  By  the  Rev,  Robert  Cox» 
AM,  ifc,  Svo,pp,  136. 

Improvement  of  ihe  Liturgy,  sounds 
to  us  much  like  improvement  of  West* 
minster  Abbey  or  king's  College  Cha- 
pel — nay»  of  the  Bible  itself!    But  we 
must  do  Mr.  Cox  the  justice  to  own 
that  he  does  not  wish  to  alter,  only  to 
omit  and  modify ;  and,  most  certainly, 
he  exemplifies  his  plan  with  ability. 
It  is  most  true  that  a  bill  of  exceptions 
may    be    tendered,    on    the  score   of 
desuetude  (see  p.  17);   but  then  the 
very  same  objection  may  be  made  to 
the  Bible  itself.    Nothing  can   be  a 
standard  which  carries  with  it  a  ne- 
cessity of  variation,  and  which,  in  a 
matter  of  fact  affair,  is  of  course  inad- 
missible.   There  is  a  holiness  in  the 
Liturgy  which  is  not  human.     It  is  a 
book  uken   from  the  library  of  the 
recording  Angel.    Mr.  Cox's  motive 
is  to  reconcile  the  Dissenters  to  the 
Church.     That  philosophers  know  to 
be  impossible.    It  forms  the  entirety 
of  dissent  that  every  man  should  be  at 
liberty  to  make  his  own  interpretation 
of  Scripture;   to   make  the  possible, 
not  the  actual,  meaning  of  the  sacred 
text  the  real  meaning ;  to  exclude  con- 
text and  contemporaneous  application, 
and  even  the  just  literal  construction 
of  the  words  and  phrases  of  the  original 
language.    Mr.  Cox  forgets  that  a  Li- 
turj^  is,  in  j€,  an  extingoisher^of  such 
notions ;  that  it  is  both  a  legal  adviser 
and  a  parental  monitor,  and  that  he 
who  follows   it  no  lon^r  advocates 
what    is    called   "  religious   liberty." 
The  idea  of  conciliating  the  Dissenters 
by  such   means,  implies  the  grossest 
inexperience.  Not  a  single  sect  (except 
the  Methodists,  who  affect  the  cos- 
tume of  the  Church)  use  a  prescribed 
form  of  words  for  their  prayer;  and, 
when  Bishop  Marsh  proposed  a  joint 
delivery  of  prayer-books,  with  bibles, 
was  there  not  a  clamour  excited,  and 
a  schism  generated  ?     If  this  fact  will 
not  satisfy  Mr.  Cox  of  the  inefficiency 
of  attempting  to  wheedle  Dissenters 
into  our  Liturgy,  does  he  forget  that 
the  very    maintenance  of  dissenting 
ministers  is  lost,  if  their  followers  are 
niefged  in  Church  people ;  that,  if  the 
holy  orders  of  such  ministers  are  re- 
cognized, then  there  is  a  virtual  con- 
fciaion  of  mere  unfounded  assumption 
in  the  regular  clergy.    That  Mr.  Cox 
ia  any  thing  but  a  philosopher  as  to 


»f 


Dissenters,  he  will  see  from  an  excel- 
lent little  work  called  «•  The  Valleys, 
noticed  in  our  vol.  xctii.  i.  p.  604.

Mil.  TUNNARD  has  very  ably 
and  judiciously  exhibited  the  evils  at* 
tendant  upon  the  allowance  aystem 
and  parochial  mismanagement,  to 
which  we  have  had  occasion  to  allude 
in  our  notices  of  the  Anti-pauper 
systems  of  Messrs.  Becher  ana  Boa- 
worth.  These,  of  course,  we  ahall  not 
repeat,  but  shall  direct  our  attention  to 
the  valuable  observations  of  Mr.  Tun* 
nard  on  the  abuse  of  parochial  road- 
work. 

«  We  oatandly  first  turn  our  attaation  to 
the  public  works  in  our  parishes,  and  find 
th«  highways  available  to  the  employment 
of  the  poor ;  not  in  the  disgraceful  manner 
in  wMcn  they  are  at  present  carried  on,  for 
I  will  be  bold  to  say,  that  with  Uie  aamt 
expenditure  which  now  takes  nlace  in  our 
different  parishes  for  what  is  falsely  caUetl 
the  repairs  of  the  highways,  but  which  Is 
nothing  better  than   a  wanton    waste  of 
parish  money,  we  might  ha%e  good  roads 
and  full  employment  for  a  numtier  of  our 
labouring  poor ;  but  the  evil  of  the  alknr- 
anoe  system  has  found  Its  way,  even  into 
this  branch  of  our  parish  expenditure.     An 
idle  man  applies  for  relief  to  the  ovarsaer; 
he  sends  him  to  the  survc}or,  who  directs 
him  *  to  let  the  water  off  the  roadst  and  chop 
171  ruts  (this  Is  the  usual  language)  ;'  aod 
there  the  parish  labourer  is  Ith  for  weeks 
without  the  superintendence  of  any  one  tq 
see  that  he  has  performed  a  single  day's 
work.     I  have  myself  put  the  question  to 
surveyors,  and  received  fur  answer,  '  Oh, 
Sir,  It  is  only  tn  keep  him  out  of  mischief ; 
he  is  a  drunken  good-for-nothing   fellow, 
and  always  chargeable  to  the  parish,  so  we 
put  him  on  the  highnrays.'    This  is  a  fire- 
quent  and  not  an  exa^erated  case ;  and  I 
would  ask  you,  gentlemen,  if  thUisJust  to 
yourselves  as  charge-bearers,  or  just  to  tlia 
unfortunate    individual,    who  is    thus  en- 
couraged to  liabitual  idleness.     I  am  con- 
vinced that,  with  proper  attention,  much 
might  be  accomplished  for  the  good  of  the 
parishes  every  way,  by  the  employment  of 
their   labourers  at  stated  seasons    on  the 
highways.     Let  the  parishioners  view  their 
roads  and  direct  wluit  shall  be  done  ;  there

FINE    ARTS. 


Mr.  Rutter  has  publUhed  a  Series  of 
Ttventy  addilional  FUustrations  to  his  Deli- 
veationi  of  the  North-ujestem  Division  of 
Somersetshire,    They  «rc  dedieated  to  J.  M. 
Sm^th  Pigott,  Vsq.  F.S.A.  Hif;h  Sheriff  of 
S«merteunir»,  to  whom  the  oripnal  draw. 
logs  belong*  aad  to  whom  Mr.  R.  It  indebt- 
ed for  considerable  assittanoe  in  the  expense 
of  engraving  tliem.    The  drawings  are  exe- 
cuted In  a  very  aaaterlj  manner^  ehieBy  by 
Mr.  J.  C.  Bockler»  the  antiquary  and  aitshi- 
tect»  and  many  (^  which  are  views  of  6ne  old 
mansions   in    Somerseuhire,     subjecu    to 
which  Mr.  Buckler  has  devoted  very  consi- 
derable attention.  Amongst  others  are  views 
of   Ashton-court,     Barrow-court,    Kings- 
ton   Seymour    Manor-house,    Cleve-court 
and  Toot    (an  excellent   print),   Clapton 
Manor-house,  and  Cievcden-cuurt.     lliete 
are  all  mansions  in  the  Gothic  style,  and 
show  how  well  that  species  of  architecture 
Is  suited  to  domestic  use.  Brockley-hall  and 
Lee-court  are   each  noblo  mansions,  in  a 
more  modern  style.     The  exterior  and  inte- 
rior views  of  Yatton  Church  arc  very  inter- 
esting, jMurticutarly  the  interior,  which  shows 
kome  very  fine  monuments  io  the  De  Wvck 
imd  Newt4)n  Chapels  in  thikt  church.     The 
inside  view  of  tlie  refectory  of  Woodsprina 
I^rlory  is  a  good  suhicct ;  and  the  painted 
^asf  fVom   uanwell  Church,  drawn  by  Mr. 
ti.  Bennett,  a  very  curious  one.      On  tlio 
whole  these  twenty  Plates  form  a  most  do- 
siribTe  addition  to  Mr.  Rutter's  well-com- 
^tted  Vdlume. 

ft/At   Fk'ews  nf  the  principal  Cities  of 
Europe. 

Ldeut. -Colonel  Batty,  to  whom  the  public 
atte  already  much  indobted  for  various  em- 
beltishments  in  fiuroucan  scenery,  has  here 
pilibllshtfd  the  first  Part  of  a  new  work  with 
still  higher  clairtis  to  excellence.  The  city 
selected  for  the  first  Number  b  Oporto, 


which  IS  illustrated  by  five  views  and  a  vis- 
nette  title,  engraved  by  Goodall,  VV.  R. 
Smith,  R.  Brandard,  W.  Miller,  R.  Wallls, 
and  T.  Jcavbns.  These  are  Bnished  in  the 
highest  possible  style  of  line  engraving  ;  and 
we  do  not  recollect  any  plates  since  the 
publication  of  Turner's  Southern  Coast, 
that  havd  delighted  us  more.  A  splendid 
sUtiMt  is  represented  in  the  vigneiic-view  of 
the  tliouth  of  the  Douro.  'Ilie  view  of 
Oportd  from  Villa  Novo,  with  the  Bishops 
Pdace  and  Cathedral  on  the  crest  of  tlio 
hill ;  and  lh«  view  of  the  Custom-house 
QWsy,  with  the  busy  scene  in  the  fore- 
^Oubd.  and  the  Serra  Ctmvent  on  the  sum- 
tsit  of  tne  opposite  hill,  are  two  moat  charm- 
ih(;  prints.  Every  engraving  has  a  key- 
plMc,  etched  by  Lieut.-Col.  Batty,  pointing 
dutlbt  Aaq^et  of  the  objects  depicted.    A\}- 


propriate  dMCripliuM  in  English  and  Fmch 
aoeompany  the  prinla.  Each  Part  will  be 
illustrative  of  one  or  two  of  the  prlneipal 
cities  or  places  in  E«n>pe.  Twei««  pans 
will  complete  a  volume;  but  each  part 
being  complete  in  Itself,  purehaaera  may 
possess  thoisa  plaons  tbev  hatvt  mited,  ov  ro- 
a|ie0ting  which  they  itel  Moat  Katftlnat. 

The  Second    Nnmber  of  CharatUriMtic 
Sketches  of  Animals^  by  Mr.  Hioa.  Laodseer, 
will   be   found  equally  aatis&ctory  with  its 
predecessor.     The  Miisk-bnll,  tne  Bengal 
Tiger,  the  Elk,  aad  the  Ibex,  an  etched 
with  equal  freedom  of  drawing  and  aeeumcy 
of  rcprasentation,  catching  not  only  the  ex- 
pression and  6re  uf  the  animala,  b«t  alao  tha 
orace  aud  freedom  of  their  motiona.     The 
nair  in  the  different  subjects  is  admirably 
discriminated.     The  vignettes,  aa  bafore» 
add  much  to  the  interest  of  the  work.  That 
attached  to  the  account  of  the  lbn»  or 
Wild  Goat,  represents  this  hardy  and  bold 
mountaineer  attacking  a  hunter  on  the  very 
edge  of  a  pathless  precipice^  and  throwiup; 
himself  headlong  on  the  man,  so  that  both 
rolled  over  into  the  abyss  beneath^  and  au- 
serably  perished. 

Hamlet,  the  goldsmith  and  Jewellery  pur- 
chased last  season.  In  the  sale  of  the  late 
Lord  Rivers*s  pictures,  several  paintingS| 
which  were  represented  as  the  works  of  Cana- 
letti ;  but  they  were  so  de6led  with  dirt  and 
filth,  that  their  identity  was  doubted  \m  all 
the  dealers,  amateurs,  and  artiste,  who  hap- 
pened to  be  present  when  tbev  were  sold. 
Consequently  Mr.  Hamlat  obtained  tlie 
whole  at  his  own  price,  or,  aa  the  saying  isy 
*'  for  an  old  long."  Tliese  pictures  have 
recently  been  cleaned,  and  oivested  oi  all 
their  impurities,  and,  in  their  present  state, 
are  now  considered  the  most  splendid  riews 
minted  by  Canalietti  that  are  at  preaent  in 
England,  with  the  exception  of  those  in  the 
possession  of  his  Majesty,  iu  Windsor  Castle.

SpitbcAd*  •ccomptnied  hj  bia  brother,  for 
tha  weturo  coMt  of  Uiftt  bUlierto  lltUc- 
Copland  cooUaeot.     ThcM  travellers   are 
iifttivea  of  Cornwall,  aiul  were  both  brought 
up   to   tb«    printing   businew    at   Truro. 
Tbey    tre    rcnarkaUy    intelligent    young 
men,    and   appear    every    way    capable   of 
•eoomplifthiDg  the  olject  of  their  arduoae 
undertaking.    They  uke  with  then  a  letter 
from  the  Secretary  of  Sute,  addreteed  under 
a  flying  eeal  to  the  Captain  of  the  first 
King's  ship  tliey  may  chance  to  fall  in  with 
tfter  leaving  the  Alert,  which  ts  destined 
fur  Cape  Coast  Castle.    The  orders  in  this 
letter  are  to  convey  the  travellers  to  fiada-* 
gry»  and  to  introduce  theroi   in  the  name 
of  our  Sovereign,  to  Adolee,  the  King  of 
that  ooontry,  as  persons  in  whose  welfiire 
the  British  GuvernmeDt  feel  the  most  parti- 
cular interest.     From  tlieoce  we  undersUnd 
they  will  proceed  to  Katunga,  the  capiul  of 
Yariba,  and  tlien  to  Houssa  (where  Mongo 
Park  was  lost,)  with  the  intention  of  tracing 
the  river  Niger  to  its  termination.     Should 
the  Niger  lie  found  to  flow  into  the  Bight 
#if  Benin,  the  Messrs.  Lander  are  to  return 
by  that  route )  but  should  it  be  found  to 
flow  to  the  eastward,  into  the  Lake  Tscha- 
dan  Bomou,  they  are  to  return  over  the 
Gneat  Desert  to  Tripoli,  by  way  of  Fezxan. 
In  the  prefiMO  to  his  narrative  of  Capt. 
Clapperton  s  last  expedition  to  Africa,  just 
published,  Mr.  Richard  Lander  thus  feel- 
ingly adverts  to  the  above  expedition,  which 
had  been  determined  upon  by  Qoverooient 
at  the  tine  of  bia  writing  ; 

«  If  eoergy  and  perseverance  can  avail  ua 
any  thing,  1  have  the  beat  reasons  for  be- 
lieving that  it  will  prove  as  succeasfnl  as  my 
most  sanguine  expectations  lead  me  to  hope 
that  it  will.  At  all  evenU.  nothing  shall 
be  wanting  on  our  parts  to  accomplish  the 
object  In  view.  If  we  be  so  unfortunate  as 
to  fail,  I  may  say  with  confidence  and  with- 
out vanity,  that  it  shall  not  be  attributed  to 
a  want  of  proper  spirit  and  enterprise }  since 
we  have  made  the  fixed  determbation  to 
risk  every  thing,  even  UCii  itaelf,  towards  iu 
final  accomplishment.  We  shall  endeavour 
to  conform  ourselves,  aa  nearly  u  possible, 
to  the  manners  and  habiu  of  the  natives ; 
we  will  not  mock  their  blind  superstition, 
hut  respect  it;  we  will  not  scoff  at  their  in- 
stitutions, but  bow  to  them;  we  will  uot 
condemn  their  prejudices,  but  pity  them. 
In  fine,  we  shall  do  all  in  our  power  to  ward 
off  snspicion  as  to  the  inte^ity  of  our  dm- 
tivea,  and  the  innoecncy  of  our  intentions  i 
and  this  oannot  be  done  mure  effisctually 
than  by  mingling  with  the  people  in  their 
general  amusements  and  diversions.  Con- 
fidence in  ourselves,  and  in  them,  will  be 
our  best  penoply;  and  an  English  Testa- 
■«Bt  nor  salast  filish.  Clothed  iu  this  ar- 
ar,  by  the  hleesing  of  God,  we  have  not 
fh  to  (ear ;  but  if,  by  any  casualty  or  un- 


LUerary  and  Scienlifie  IiUeUigence, 


[Jan* 


foreseen  misfortnne,  we  perish  in  Afinca, 
nnd  are  seen  no  more,  even  then  our  fiite 
will  not  be  more  dismal  than  that  of  many 
of  our  predecessors  in  the  same  pursuit, 
whose  gallant  enterprising  ipiriu  have  annk 
into  darkness,  without  n  voice  to  recoil 
their  mehincholy  end." 

Whilst  the  Lsadere  seek  the  Niger

oflicer  (Mr.  Henry  Welford)  is  about  to 
saH  for  Egypt,  and  proceed  tnenee  to  Sen* 
near,  the  Bahr^al-Abiad,  and  Monntalne  of 
the  Moon,  from  which  point  he  will  pene- 
trate, through  the  unexplored  countfiea 
westward  to  the  lake  Tzad,  retnromg  either 
by  way  of  the  GoM  Coaat,  Timbnctoo,  or 
the  Desert.  The  B»hr-al-Abiad  is  now 
supposed  to  be  the  real  and  most  abundant 
source  of  the  Nile,  and  some  celebrated 
geographers  imagine  that  the  Ttad  la  tlie 
reservoir  from  whicli  this  vast  river  b  fwp- 
plied.  The  Mountains  of  the  Moon  have 
never  yet  been  visited  by  any  Eurtfipeani 
and  Mr.  Henry  Welford's  journey  promises 
to  be  one  of  greater  novelty  and  interest 
than  any  one  sinee  the  first  expeditions  of 
Mungo  Park  and  Denham.  He  goes  qnite 
alone,  in  the  costume  of  a  Desert  Arahj 
and  will  travel  with  the  greater  facility  from 
his  knowledge  of  eastern  manners  and  lan- 
guages. He  IS  only  twenty-one  ycare  of  age. 

Sooth  ArRiCAN  Colligb. 
This  College  was  opened,  at  the  Capo  of 
Good  Hope,  on  the  1st  of  October  last. 
The  branches  for  which  profimsort  and 
teachers  have  been  already  provitfed,  are— 
the  English,  Dutch,  French,  and  chaalcal 
languages ;  writing,  arithmetic,  geognphy, 
astronomy,  mathematics,  and  mechanics. 
The  professors  are  the  Rev.  Mr.  Judge,  thn 
Rev.  Mr.  Faure,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Adamaon. 
The  two  latter  gentlemen  have  offered  their 
services  gratuitously  for  one  year,  to  afford 
time  for  procuring  suitable  persons  from 
Europe. 

Spots  in  the  Sun. 

There  has  Utely  been  a  number  of  apoU 
en  the  sun's  disc,  two  oi  which  were  very 
lenmrkable,  and  might  be  seen  with  aa  or-: 
dinary  telescone.  One  of  them  was  of  aa 
obiong  form,  oroader  at  one  end  then  th» 
other,  and  its  length  waa  equal  to  three 
times  and  a  half  the  diameUr  of  the  eerth. 
The  other  was  nearly  of  a  rhomhoidal  fignre, 
and  the  distaooe  from  its  eastern  to  the 
western  edge  was  equal  to  four  tiasea  and  a 
quarter  the  earth's  diameter.  In  other 
words,  one  was  96,673  milea  long^  end  the 
other  84,986  miles  acroaa.  The  brewa 
shade  encompaasiug  six  black  spots  mear 
sumd  one-eighteenth  of  the  sun's  diameter. 
Thus,  tak'mg  the  diameter  of  the  ana  at. 
88tf,149  miles,  the  spot  must  he  49,9*^ 
miles.

was  represented  a  pair  of  clogs,  which  Capt., 
Smyth    conjectures    were    worn    by     tlie! 
bathers,  to  protect  their  Icet  from  tlio  in- 
tense heat  ot  the  floor ;  he  states  that  clogs 
are  used  by  the  Turks  in  their  bagnios,  at 
the  present  day,  fur  the  very  same  purpose. 
An  aperture  at  the  l>ottom  or  one  of  the  side 
walls  of  the  first  division  of  the  sudatoryv. 
admitted  the  influx  of  a  natural  warm  streamy 
which  probably  diffused  itself  all  over  tha 
liulluw  space    between  the    sqiure    pillars 
under  the  tessellated  floora,  and  found  vent 
by  another  opening  quite  at  the  end  of  the 
building.     Tlie  heat  of  this  stream  was  thus 
communicated  to  the  floors  aljovc,  and  more 
completely   to    tlie    wliole    apartment    by 
moans  of  per|)cudicular  ranges  of  flue  tiles 
placed  all   round  the  walls  of  tlie  two  inner 
rooms.     As   there  is   no  ap])earance  of  a 
prtrjunnum  or  stove  among  the   details  o( 
this  model,  it  is  probable  that  the  liypocan^t 
was  entirely  indel>tetl  for  its  warmth  to  tho 
natural  fountain,  which  Captain  Smyth  says 
to  this  day  maintains  a  temperature  of  120 
degrees.     The  batlis  exist  in  a    secluded 
spot,  and  are  concealed  by  a  fertile  vineyard. 
The  island  of  Lipari  will  be  recollected  as 
the  largest  of  a  cluster  of  volcanic  islands 
lyin^    north  of    the  coast  of  Sicily.     Sir 
William  Hamilton  states  the  circumference 
of  the  island  at  1 S  miles,  tho  population  at 
h;o,000,  and  says  that  it  is  celebrated  for  a 
robust  race  of  excellent  sailors,  and  for  the 
choice   (luality  of  it^i    wines.*     The   Lij>ari 
Islands  were  supposed  by  the  ancients  to  be 
the  abode  of  Eolus  and  Vulcan,  and  it  ap- 
pears that  a  tale   was   current  among  tlie 
natives,  that  the  flues  of  the  hypocaust,  as 
closely  disposed  in  contact  as  the  pipes  af  un 
organ,  were  wont  occasitmally  to  emit  wild 
and  mournful  sounds.f     Captain  Smyth    in 
his    couimunicatinn    ol>;>crvc(l,   that    hathn

SIR  THOMAS  LAWRENCE,  P.R.A. 

Bif  John  Taylor,  Esq. 

I^AWRENCE  I  knew  in  his  bright  youth-

Who  all  retum'd  his  love  with  kindred  fire ; 
With  Jot  I  taw  old  Time  attitt  hit  aim, 
Mature  lib  talent*,  and  promote  hit  fame ; 
And  oft  my  bnmble  Mute,  with  eager  pride. 
To  pay  due  homage  to  hit  merit  tried. 
While  he  at  oft,  with  all  tlie  gcn'rout  praite 
Of  partial  friendship,  has  r«ceiv*d  my  Uyt. 
Ah  1  as  ho  now  hat  fitli  the  mortal  doom. 
What  Worth,  what  Geniut,  tiukt  beneath

*'I-iet  him  who  is  mott  worthy,"  ho  replied,

And  waken  them  again  to  life  and  light .'

HISTORICAL  CHRONICLE. 


FOREIGN    NEWS. 


FRANCE. 

A  decitioDy  pronounced  by  the  Royal 
Court  of  Paris,  has  given  great  aatisfiustion 
to  the  friends  of  the  freedom  of  the  press. 
It  was  in  the  case  of  an  appeal  by  M.  Bar- 
theleniYt  the  author  of  a  poem  entitled  *'  La 
Fils  d*  Homme/'  and  M.  David,  the  printer, 
against  the  judgn»ent  of  the  Correctional 
'wlbunal,  which  sentenced  the  former  to  be 
imprisoned  three  months,  and  to  pay  a  fine 
of  1,000  francs,  and  the  latter  to  pav  a  fine 
of  85  francs.  The  Court  confirmed  the  sen- 
tence of  the  Correctional  Tribunal  as  to  M. 
Barthelemy,  and  pronounced  for  the  free 
discharge  of  M.  David,  on  the  ground  that 
he  did  not  act,  in  printug  the  poem,  with 
any  bad  intention.  The  principle  laid  down 
by  the  Court,  that  the  mere  act  of  agency 
in  printing  an  objecUonable  work,  does  not 
prove  the  existence  of  a  criminal  intention, 
is  hailed  by  the  Liberal  party  as  a  rule  by 
which  future  decisions  will  be  guided,  and 
not  arising  out  of  the  peculiar  circumstances 
of  this  case. 

ITALY. 

The  King  of  Naples  has  been  excommu- 
nicated by  the  Holy  See.  De  Medici,  the 
Finance  Minister,  left  that  city  a  short  time 
since  to  Join  the  King  at  Madrid,  and  on 
his  way  was  obliged  to  pass  through  Rome. 
Hardly  was  he  arrived  there,  when  a  demand 
was  made  on  him,  as  the  representative  of 
his  master,  of  a  tribute,  which  has  been  due 
a  long  time  to  the  Pope.  Medici  demurred ; 
but  Albani  was  not  to  be  denied,  and  a  rup- 
ture was  the  consequence.  It  is  understood 
that  the  utmost  extremities  will  be  resorted 
to  unless  the  sum  demanded  be  paid. 

SWEDEN. 

Great  honours  have  lately  been  done  to 
Ochleuschlaeger,  the  celebrated  Danish  poet, 
in  Sweden.  He  was  received  at  Lund  as  if 
he  had  been  a  conqueror.  He  was  addressed 
by  the  students,  honoured  by  the  King,  and 
crowned  with  laurel  by  Tegner,  the  author 
of  «*FrithioiF,"  and  the  prince  of  the  living 
poets  of  Sweden.  The  Danes  and  Swedes 
nave  long  been  accustomed  to  regard  one 
another  with  jealousy  and  hatred ;  but,  on 
this  occasion*  the  nations  seemed  to  Uend 
like  brothers  in  common  affection.

RUSSIA  AND  TURKEY. 

The  Russian  General  Kisselef  has  issued 
an  address  to  the  Divan  of  Wallaebia,  upon 
his  taking  the  office  of  President  of  the 
Turkish  Principalities  on  the  Danube,  in 
which  he  promises  an  honest  administntioa 
of  the  public  affairs  entrusted  to  him,  and 
an  iodulgeot  and  k'md  treatment,  in  aider 
to  alleviate  the  miseries  inflicted  oa  the  pio- 
vioces  by  the  war.  It  declares  that  the  in- 
tention of  the  Emperor  Nicholas,  at  ita 
commencement,  waa  to  render  the  occnp^ 
tion  of  the  Principalities  as  little  oppieasivn 
to  their  inhabitants  as  possibles  out  thai 
the  functionaries  employed  in  that  quarter 
had  been  guilty  of  great  extortions.  The 
system  of  forced  cin  had  been  resorted  to, 
and  the  presence  of  a  large  body  of  strangers,- 
instead  of  being  a  blessing,  by  supplying  a 
market  for  the  productions  of  the  provinces, . 
had  been  a  curse.  All  these  evils,  oe  asaniea 
the  Turkish  authorities,  shall  be  amended. 

An  earthquake  was  felt  in  the  night  of 
the  95th  of  November,  in  Odessa,  Jasay, 
Czemowitz,  Hermanstadt,  Kronstadt,  and 
many  other  places  in  Transylvania  and  the 
Buckowina.  It  did  considerable  mischief  at 
Bucharest,  where  116  houses,  among  wliich 
is  that  of  the  English  Consul,  liave  been 
rendered  untenable  by  iu  effects.  FifUen 
churches  are  so  much  injured  that  they  can- 
not be  used.    The  tpwn  of  Kiupria,  on  the

[Jan. 


con  Strach&D|  of  York,  in  tliat  province,  f»r 
A  aniversitv,  upon  a  tcale  vrorthv  of  the  an- 
cient founders  of  the  colleges  of  Oxfbnl  and 
Cambridge.  The  exfienie  for  the  building 
of  this  collcee  is  not  estimated  at  much  less 
than  that  of  King's  college,  London. 

Since  September  1894,  a  Roman  Catholic 
church  has  been  erected  in  Montreal,  which, 
for  magnitude,  has  not  a  parallel  in  all  the 
ecclesiastical  structures  raised  in  Christen- 
dom since  the  denunciation  of  the  Jesuits. 
It  is  calculated  to  contain  10,000  persons ; 
is  adorned  with  six  lofty  towers,  three  on 
each  side ;  and  the  two  on  the  West  front 
will,  when  finished,  be  nearly  as  high  as 
those  of  Westminster  abbey.  Tlie  Eastern 
window  at  the  liigh  altar  is  (i4  feet  in  height. 
In  point  of  ornament,  and  curious  carving, 
such  as  adorn  the  cathedrals  of  the  old 
countries,  it  is  certainly  inferior ;  but  in 
distant  effect,  from  its  situation  and  its 
towers,  it  is  equal  to  any  uf  them. 


WEST  INDIES. 


From  an  authentic  return  of  the  Slave 
population  of  the  Colony  of  Demeiara  and 
Essequibo,  made  on  the  31st  of  May,  1899s 
it  ap{>ears  that,  up  to  that  period,  the  num- 
ber of  Slaves  of  both  sezet  amounted  to 
60,36*8,  the  females  exceeding  the  malea 
l>y  about  one-fifth.  The  mortality  in  th« 
Colony  during  the  three  Ust  years,  up  to 
the  date  abovo-mentioneda  was  in  the  pro- 
portion of  one  in  twelve. 

In  the  course  of  the  last  twelve  yeara,  tba 
most  considerable  importations  of  Slavea  in- 
to Dcmerara  and  Essequibo  from  other  Co* 
Ionics  took  place  between  1817  and  1890. 
Tliev  have  since  greatly  decreased.  Of  th# 
whole  amount  of  Slaves  above  specified^  it 
ap|>cars  that  36,691  are  Afncans,  and 
49,677  Creoles.  It  is  remarkable  that  tlio 
number  of  deatlis  among  the  Slaves  daring 
the  last  twelve  years  has  exceeded  that  m 
births  by  about  an  average  of  1 800. 


DOMESTIC    OCCURRENCES. 


INTELLIGENCE  FROM  VARIOUS 
PARTS  OF  THE  COUNTRY. 

Jan.  IT).  A  meeting  of  tlie  freeholders  of 
Devoushire,  relative  to  the  Tithe  Laws,  tuck 
place  in  the  Castle-yard,  Exeter,  having 
been  convened  by  the  Sheriff  on  a  requisi- 
tion signed  by  upwards  of  eleven  hundred 
i«yers  and  receivers  of  tithes.  The  Hon. 
Newton  Fellowcs  proposed  the  petition.  It 
was  seconded  by  C.  P.  Hamlyn,  esq.  in  a 
speech  of  great  length,  in  which  he  took  a 
review  of  tlie  origin  of  tithes,  tliclr  original 
appro])rlBtion,  and  entered  into  calculations 
to  sliow  their  unequal  operation,  under  the 
■present  mode  of  collection,  upon  the  fanner, 
fhe  petition,  which  was  adopted  almost  una- 
nimously, set  forth  —  <*  That,  since  tithes 
were  originally  estabHshed,  all  property  has 
undergone  material  changes,  and  particu- 
larly agricultural,  by  the  operation  of  these 
laws  ;  and.  In  consequence  of  an  increase  of 
public  burdens  within  these  thirty  years, 
coupled  with  other  circumstances,  the  in- 
conveniences of  them  have  been  rapidly  ac- 
cumulating. That  your  petitioners  have  also 
to  complain,  that  disputes  rcsprctlng  tlio 
payment  of  tithes  are  determined  in  a  Court 
constituted  in  a  manner  peculiar  to  itself, 
and  without  the  constitutional  intervention 
of  a  jury.  That  your  petitioners  usk  for  no 
innovations  on  the  princi])le8  of  the  X3ritish 
Constitution,  nor  for  any  unfitir  or  impro{)cr 
sacrifice  from  any  party,  but  humbly  pray 
that  your  honourable  House  will,  at  as  early 
a  perloil  in  this  Session  of  Parliament  as  the 
businrns  of  the  Nation  will  allow,  take  into 
its  most  seriout*  consiJerutlon  the  present 
state  of  the  Titln;  I^ws,  and  the  effects  now 
resulting  from  them^ "  i<c. 


Tlie  accounts  from  different  |iartt  of  «h« 
country  are  generally  of  a  desponding  nn« 
ture.  At  Jiudtiersfield,  a  public  meeting 
was  lately  held,  at  which  a  moat  melancholy 
picture  was  given  of  the  general  diatraM 
among  the  operatives  in  that  quartor ;  whore 
aliove  1 8,000  individuals  only  hai  ftuopcwrr 
hal/hermy  a  day  to  subsist  upon  ! 

The  accounts  from  CovetUry  represent  tht 
state  of  the  artizans,  and  other  Uboofon  in 
that  city,  as  most  deplorable.  The  poor 
rates,  and  the  number  of  paapera^  are  leni^ 
fully  on  the  increase.  The  director!  of  dM 
poor  have  thought  proper  to  memotianie 
the  Privy  Council  on  this  state  of  things. 
Amongst  other  remarks,  they  obserw  tliat 
**  the  casual  out-poor  («f  Coventry,  hi  the 
month  of  December  1 897,  amounted  to  980 
families,  which  number  of  fiimilies  is  now 
augmented  to  1 ,81 3.  [n  the  month  of  Ja- 
nuary 1828,  the  number  of  individuals  in 
the  House  of  Industry  was  188;  in  the 
month  of  January  1880,  it  amounted  to  A^S, 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  peti- 
tion agreed  on  at  the  ff'Htshire  Sessions, 
and  sigDed  by  every  Magistrate  present  :— 
*<  That  the  most  alarming  distress  pervades 
both  the  agricultural  and  manufacturing  dn- 
tricts  of  this  county ;  that  such  distress  can- 
not, they  fear,  be  attributed  to  temporary 
causes,  or  be  exi>ected  materially  to  abate 
tvithoiU  Lfgislativf  interference  £  and  that 
they  entertain  mitst  serious  apprehtnukms  t^ 
the  gradual.  Nit  no  less  certain ,  extinciion  of' 
their  jtropertij.'*

rine s  Docks  was  held  at  the  Dock-house, 
Tower.hill,  Thomas  Tooke,  Eeq.  in  the 
chair.  The  report  stated,  that  the  total 
cost  of  the  docks,  and  all  the  works  and

1,988,478/.  I  and  an  additional  outlay  of 
196,995i.  was  required,  which  it  was  pro- 
posed to  raise  bj  an  iuue  of  debentures,

The  Chairman  then  observed,  that  80  ships, 
between  800  and  800  tons  register,  had  on- 
tared  iStm  dock  during  the  last  year. 

Jan,  90.  In  the  High  Couit  of  Dele- 
gates two  appeal  cases  were  dismissed  with- 
out the  Court  coming  to  any  decision.  The 
fiftt  was  an  appeal  from  the  sentence  of  the 
Judge  of  the  Prerogative  Court,  by  which 


an  alleged  wfll  of  Mr.  J.  Qoftoo,  of  Chmr 
ton-hJl,  Warwick,  hi  fiivow  of  Mr.  Henry 
Wyatt,  was  set  aside,  on  the  grovnd  that  it 
was  obtained  by  firaud  and  etrmmvantioD. 
Mr.  Justice  litUedale,  the  prases,  informed 
the  parties,  that  the  Couit  had  come  to  iho 
determination  to  a4joum  their  decisSoB, 
without  naming  a  day  to  deliver  it.  The 
parties  might,  in  the  mesa  tine»  ooaaidff 
whether  they  should  eome  to  any  ami^- 
ment  which  would  render  it  mmeeeseary  to 
require  the  Judgment  of  the  Coort.  The 
other  ceee  was  an  appeal,  like  the  former 
one,  firom  the  Prerogative  Court,  whereby 
the  will  of  Mrs.  Sophia  Harding,  in  fovonr 
of  her  husband,  Mr.  John  Harding*  waa  set 
aside  on  the  ground  of  its  haviiM[  bean  ob» 
tained  by  undue  influence.  The  Court  dell* 
bemted  about  half  an  hour,  when  the  dooia 
were  opened,  aad  the  registry  rend  the 
order  of  Court»  which  was,  that  the  Coort 
was  divided  in  opinion,  and  as  neither  of  the 
three  Common  Law  Judges  concwrad  with 
the  majority  (the  Delegates  from  iba  GvU 
Courts),  their  Lordships  gave  no  deeieion. 

A  Commission  has  recently  bean  ap? 
pointed  to  remedy  the  abuica  and  delaya 
existing  in  the  Ecclesiastical  Courts.  ByjM 
Act  of  last  Sesaion,  the  Judges  of  the  jBor 
clesiastical  Courta  are  authorixad  to  ettftr 
blish  tables  of  foee,  aad  toreguUta  tho  dn- 
ties  of  the  depoty-registmri  and  cladti  ef 
seats  I  and  it  providM  thfit,  b  liitiira  a^ 
pointmeotsy  derka  of  seats  shall  anoMli 
their  dutiea  in  person.  The  Aet  anrhoriaca 
additional  Court-days  andaholiehea  holida|a» 
and  it  empowers  the  Court  of  Pecoliara  to 
sit  in  the  Hall  at  Ductors'-oommoae»  inr 
stead  of  the  vestry-room  at  Bow  choroh. 
Considering  that  these  Courts  originated  in 
the  usurpation  of  the  Romish  chnnh  ; 
that  their  forms  of  proceedings  are  at  vniianca 
with  the  principles  of  English  law  |  that 
procrastination  aad  expense  are  eo  flagrant 
there,  that  even  Chancery  praotitioDara 
point  at  them  with  the  finger  of  eeom  \ 
and,  Ustly,  that  the  costa  in  an  ecokaiaati- 
cal  suit,  instead  of  being  the  Beoamaiy 
price  paid  for  justice,  are  avowedly  an  es- 
f^ne  of  puoishmcDt,— it  would  aetm.tliifo 
instead  of  reform,  total  excisien  would  bi 
the  fittest  remedy  for  the  evils  of  a  sfitaB 
of  judicature,  which  makes  up  hi  veMlioa 
what  it  wants  in  power.

MINOR    CORRESPONDENCE. 


Wt  baT«  oominiinicated  Mr.  Beird's  let- 
ter to  the  writer  of  th«  article  compUined 
of;  and  his  answer  is  as  follows  : — '*  Mr. 
Beard  had  certainly  no  idea  of  meeting  with 
a  raxor  in  the  critic,  a  Trinitarian  Clergy- 
man of  the  Church  of  England.  Tlie  latter 
is  bound  by  the  canons  and  his  ordination 
vow,  tp  support  the  doetrine  of  the  Church 
to  which  he  belongs  {  and  that  doctrine  is, 
that  unless  Christ  be  Ood  as  well  as  man, 
the  atonement  is  not  efficacious.  The  main 
point  of  Mr.  B.*s  letter  is  a  denial,  that  the 
Unitarians  argue  A  priori  concerning  Deity  ; 
but  how  is  it  pouible  for  them  to  impugn 
the  doctrine  of  the  Trinity,  without  predi- 
cating, that  there  cannot  be  a  Triune  Deity, 
the  poMibility  of  which  even  Hume  admits  ? 
As  to  other  points  of  his  letter,  many  Cler' 
gymen  are  of  opinion  (and  not  without  rea- 
son) that  Unitarianum  tempts  its  follow- 
ers to  commit  the  sin  against  the  Huly 
Ghost;  and  therefore  is  the  most  perni- 
cious form  of  Dissent.  Concerning  the  in- 
sults in  Mr,  B.'s  letter,  the  Clergy  every  day 
meet  with  rampant  sectaries  of  all  kinds, 
and  if  they  know  their  duty,  only  pray  f(»r 
the  conversion  of  them,  in  common  with 
Jews,  Turks,  infidels,  and  heretics." 

A.  Z.  A.  is  mfurmed,  that  his  MS.  copy 
of  Bishop  Lake's  dying  Declaration,  was 
copied  from  "A  Derence  of  the  Pmfestion 
which  the  late  Right  Rev.  John  late  Lord 
Bishop  of  Chichester,  made  upon  his  death- 
bed, concerning  Passive  Obedience  and  the 
new  Oaths;  together  with  an  Account  of 
some  passages  nf  his  life,  by  Rob.  Jenkins, 
1690,  4to;  and  that  the  said  declaration*  . 
or  *'  profession,*'  is  quoted  by  Mr.  Dalla-  '* 
way,  in  his  memoirs  of  the  Bishops  of  Chi- 
chester, Hbtory  of  Sussex,  vol.  L  p.  91. 

A  Constant  Rbadkr  asks  for  «some 
particulars  relative  to  the  pedigree,  arms, 
&c.  of  the  fitmily  of  Bamham,  of  Boughton 
Monchenoy,  Kent.  Hasted  mentions  seve- 
ral of  the  fiunily.  The  baronetcy  became  .. 
extinct  some  time  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
17th,  or  the  earlier  part  of  the  16th  cen- 
tury*" In  the  Appendix  to  the  late  edition 
of  bebrett's  Baronetage,  the  baronetcy  is 
stated  to  have  lasted  only  from  1663  to 
1685. 

The  following  are  corrections  of  our  re- 
cent Obituaries,  &c— December,  p.  669, 
The  fomily  name  of  the  Marquess  of  Head- 
fort  is  not  Taylour  t  all  the  family  write 
their  name  Taylor.  The  former  mode  of 
spelling  has  obtained  pisce  in  the  Peerages 
probably  from  confosion  with  the  Earl  of 
Winterton's  name.  Tumour.  In  the  same 
article,  for  Kello  read  Kells ;  and  for  Lonr- 
fordy  Viscountess  Langford. — P.  571.  The 


late  Archdeacon  HeathcoCe  lost  hb  wife, 
the  dsughter  of  Dr.  Wall,  after  the  birth 
of  one  son ;  and  he  contracted  a  second 
marriage  with  Miss  Beadon  of  Stoneham,  a 
relation  of  the  late  Bishop  of  Bath  and 
Wells,  by  whom  ho  had  five  children }  who 
live  to  deplore  the  loss  of  both  parents, 
Mrs.  Heathcote  having  died  a  short  time 
before  the  Ardideacon.-^Ibid.  The  Rev. 
John  Strange  Daodridge,  was  M.  A.  of 
Worcester  College,  Oxford,  where  he  waa 
formerly  on  the  foundation.  It  was  anothar 
cleri^man  of  the  same  names  (we  presume 
his  fiither),  and  who  is  now  Rector  of  Roas- 
ham,  Oxfordshire,  and  SSresham,  North- 
amptonshire, that  was  of  Emanuel  College, 
Cambridge.  —  P.  686,  for  the  county  tk 
Ross,  read  Roscommon.— P.  647.  The  Rev. 
John  Wilde  was  son  of  John  Wilde,  esq.  of 
Hamage,  by  Miss  -Dodd,  a  lady  of  «n  an- 
cient family.  Besides  the  third  portion  of 
Ponteshury,  he  held  the  miout^  of  Al- 
brighton  Chapel  near  Shrewsbury;  where 
he  was  a  forcible  and  energetic  picachert 
and  had  formed  a  Sunday  School.  He  died 
on  the  1 6th  Dec.  and  his  remains  were  in- 
terred iu  the  Church  of  Cound. — Jaauaiy, 
p.  76,  a.  19  from  bottom,  for  Banymonnt 
read  Barrowmount ;  b.  1 1  from  bottom,  for 
Hon.  John  Spencer  read  John  Spencer,  esq.

three  lines,  beginning  *'  The  Viscountj  of 
Fenton,"  were  mtended  to  conclude  the  ar^ 
tide. — P.  79,  b.  37,  for  James  Dnpr^  of 
Whilton  Park,  read  Josias  Dupr^  of  Wil- 
ton Park. — P.  87.  Mr.  Goring's  second  wifo 
was  Miss  Luxford,  not  Saxfonl;  and  hb 
third  wife  was  not  his  cousin,  being  tiie 
daughter  of  Dr.  Ballard  by  another  wife,  « 
daughter  of  T.  G.  Waller,  esq.  of  Winches^- 
ter.—  Ibid.  Mr.  Chamberlayne  died  at  Wee- 
ton  Grove  near  Southampton ;  he  never  re- 
sided at  Craiiburv  Park.  He  was  not  the 
son  of  the  late  Lady  Holland,  nor  waa  she 
ever  martied  to  his  father  (into  which  mis- 
take we  were  led  by  Debrett*s  Peerage,  un- 
der Zouche) ;  but  only  to  Mr.  Dummer  and 
Mr.  Dance  (afterwards  Sir  Nathaniel  Hol- 
land), by  neither  of  whom  had  she  issue. 
Mr.  Chamberlayne  the  elder  was  solicitor  to 
Mr.  Dummer,  and  acquired  the  latter's  mn- 
nifioeut  bequest  from  personal  regard,  not, 
it  is  believed,  from  any  affini^  or  fomily 
connection.  On  occasion  of  King  Georce 
III.  visiting  Winchester  school  in  1778,  toe 
late  Mr.  Chamberlayne  was  selected  to  deli- 
ver a  speech  to  his  Majesty.  The  last  pa- 
ragraph, on  the  erasure  <»f  the  words  "  nb 
mother,"  will  be  correct. — P.  .98.  Lady  Isa- 
bella Eiuyle  died  Dec.  t4.  Mr.  Kenyoo  at

Inirunve  Clergymen,  and  Episcopal  Inierferenee.  [Feb. 

accounts  relating  to  a  seDtleaiaii  **  of 
high  clerical  accoinplishments,"  may 
possibly  have  been  intended  as  a  de- 
scription of  what  lately  occurred  in 
the  West  of  England,  though  it  does 
not  perfectly  agree  with  all  the  facts. 

The  case  was  this.  At  the  request 
of  several  churchmen  and  dissenters, 
the  respectable  Curate  of  a  market- 
town  aiieiided  a  meeting  in  an  adja- 
cent parish,  to  endeavour  to  form  m 
Bible  Association.  This  parish,  thoueh 
inhabited  by  many  very  respectable 
farmers,  was  peculiarly  destitute  of 
the  Scriptures  among  the  poor.  It 
had  scarcely  a  benevolent  society  with« 
in  its  limits,  and  happened  at  that  time 
to  he  undergoing  a  change  of  Minit- 
tcrs.  The  new  Curate  nad  just  ar- 
rived ;  he  had  been  informed  of  the 
proposed  meeting,  and  invited  to  pre- 
side ;  and  had  expressed  himself  ob* 
liged  for  the  invitation,  but  declined 
being  present,  merelv  on  the  plea  of 
urgent  business.  He  found  time, 
however,  to  come  with  a  gentleman 
farmer,  and  interrupted  the  meeting, 
promised  that  the  poor  shonid  have 
Bibles  gratis,  and  did  as  much  as  he 
could  to  prevent  the  establishment  of 
the  Association.  To  this  day  five  Bi- 
bles have  not  been  distributed.  The 
Dioce5an  is  known  to  be  unfavourable 
to  the  Bible  Society,  and  compbint 
was  quickly  dispatched  to  him  (it  it 
not  said  by  whom)  of  this  intmsioo. 
The  consequence  was,  a  strong  hint  to 
the  intruder  from  the  learned  Bishop, 
of  the  impropriety  of  such  an  interfer- 
ence. 

In  the  same  town,  a  great  wrestling 
match  had  been  projected  to  take  place 
that  very  week,  and  large  rewards  were 
offered  to  the  victors.  The  same  re- 
spectable Curate,  prompted  by  a  sense 
of  duty,  exerted  himself  also  on  that 
occasion.  His  discourses  were  emi- 
nently calculated  to  discourage  a  spec- 
tacle so  unworthy  of  a  Christian  land 
and  a  civilized  age ;  and  he  had  a  rem- 
sonable  hope  that  few  of  his  hearers 
would  attend.  But  what  was  the  re- 
sult? The  wrestling  took  place,  a  vast 
deal  of  drunkenness  and  profligacy  en- 
sued ;  bad  characters  came  purposely 
from  a  neighbouring  sea-port ;  and  the 
scene  was — not  indeed  honoured,  bnt 
—disgraced  by  the  presence  and  coun- 
tenance of  a  Clergyman  from  an  ad- 
joining parish,  and  many  of  his  peo- 
ple. No  remonstrance  from  the  Dio- 
ccsan  followed  iki$  intrusion;  proba*

Picture  of  a  con»r.ientum$  Parish  PrmU 


[Feb. 


dcrn  establishroeiily  and  for  thr  accom- 
modation of   which  shaving  refused 
that  his  chancel  shoold  be  converted 
into  a  school  room,  as  he  likewise  oh- 
jects  to  permit  the  use  of  his  church 
for  any  but  ecclesiastical  purposes,)  his 
assistance  has  mainly  contributed   to 
supply  an  appropriate  building.     I  saw 
the  distribution  of  unostentatious  cha« 
ritica,  and  the  interposition  of  mild 
persuasive  ad  rice,  to  reconcile  conflict- 
ing opinions,  and  promote  harmony 
•iM  good  neighboornood.     I  saw,  too, 
all  ranks,  ages,  and  degrees  of  people 
in  the  village  which  I  am  describing, 
concurrent    in    their    expressions    of 
good    will    towards    their    minister; 
thoagh  entertaining  eztrcmelv  oppo- 
site opinions  with  regard  to  his  rigid 
adherence  to  old  customs  and  old  fa- 
ahioned  habits,  his  opposition  to  mo- 
dern  alterations,  dislike  of  dress   a- 
laongtt  the  lower  classes,  and  severity 
(as  it  was  called  by  some)  towards 
those  enstoms  which  the  neighbour* 
inp  clergy  permitted  or  connived  at 
witboat  censure.  Without  descending 
to  more  minute  particulars  of  what  X 
sew,  I  will  proceed  to  what  I  heard. 
And  as  I  have  related  with  fidelity 
what  I  ttw,  I  will  mention  nothing 
that  I  heard  without  a  voucher  for  its 
truth.    I  heard  that  after  several  on- 
suooessful  efforts  to  establish  conven- 
ticles, and  set  up  dissenting  consrega- 
tions  in  this  parish,  not  one  had  been 
successful.     Not  through  the  opposi- 
tion of  authoritative  influence,  or  the 
manifestation  of  a  persecuting  spirit ; 
but  by  the  fair  and  effectual  preventive 
of  there  being  no  room  nor  occasion 
for  any  such  addition  to  the  ministerial 
function,  where  at  all  the  stated  times 
which  orthodoxy  permits*  but  at  no 
other  than  when  sanctioned  by  such 
authority,   the    Liturgy,   Sacraments, 
and  ordinances  of  the  Church,  as  by 
law  established,  were  constantly,  dili- 
gently, and  ably  performed  and  cele- 
brated, without  evasion,  reluctance,  or 
deviation,  and  by  the  minister  law- 
fully appointed  thereto.     No  corpse 
had  been   left  unburied,  or  inconve- 
nient time  assigned  for  the  perform- 
ance of  that  solemn  but  certainly  la- 
borious part  of  the  Clergyman's  duty. 
No  child  left  unbaptised  because  the 
mioiater  was  absent  from  home ;  and 
at  a  due  degree  of  attention  was  paid  * 
to  the  spiritual  comforts  of  the  people, 
to  their  temporal  wants  were  not  neg- 
ledcdf  and  the  zeal  of  the  sectaiian 


found  no  room  for  the  intrusion  of  his 
crude  theology,  nor  opportunity  of  ia- 
gratiating  himself  by  declaiming  against 
the  sloth,  neRligeoce,  pride,  or  aelfitb- 
ness  of  the  Church  MinUier. 

«<  What  shall  we  do.  Sir,*'  aaid  a 
grey-headed  old  farmer,  living  upon 
his  own  effUte  in  the  parish,  "with 
the  travelling  preacher  that  is  come  to 
preach  under  the  tree?"  (in  the  middle 
of  the  village).  "  Ask  him  to  go  home 
with  you,  and  give  him  some  bread 
and  cheese  for  his  trouble;  if  I  were  to 
hear  him  I  should  ;"  waa  the  reply  of 
this  eccentric  divine; — and  so,  after 
two  or  three  haranguea  under  ike  tree^ 
the  itinerant  took  his  leave,  and  \th 
the  villagers  to  go  to  church,  as  their 
fathers  had  done,  and  as  they  ooDiione 
to  do,  wilhoui  a  iiugle  meihodiei  er 
diitenier  amougsi   tSem  I    Noc   that 
the  parson  at  aU  shapes  hit  diacoonea 
to  tlie  accommodating  topica  which 
perhaps  may  be  auppmed^  to  bm  had 
aome  influence  in  rendering  him  po- 
pular. By  no  means.    He  dependa  not 
upon  the  will  and  pleasure  of  hit  hear- 
ers as  the  lecturer  or  the  sectarian  dMs, 
for  the  opportunity  and  the  right  which 
he  possesses ;  he  exercises  it  with  dis- 
cretion, but  with  independent  sinceritv, 
as  a  true  son  of  the  Church.     Rank, 
station,  age,  sex,  all  equally  his  hear- 
ers, are  equally  the  objects  of  his  re- 
gard in  his  discourses :  and  that  I  may 
not  trespass  too  long,  I  will  beg  leave 
to  give  an  instance  of  it,  by  addino, 
that  in  two  of  his  sermons  which  I 
happened  to  hear,  the  discussion  waa 
in  the  first  from  a  verse  in  Hosea,  "  Ye 
have   ploughed  wickedness,  ye  have 
reaped  iniquity,  ye  have  eaten  tne  fruit 
of  lies,  because  thou  didst  trust  in  thj 
way'*  (ch.  x.  13);  and  in  the  second, 
from   its   accompaniment,   "  Sow    to 
yourselves  in    righteousness,   reap  in 
mercy,  break  up  your  fallow  ground ; 
for  it  is  time  to  seek  the  Lord,  till  he 
come    and    rain    righteousness    upon 
you."  (ch.  X.  1«.)     Now,  Mr.  Urban, 
the  effect  of  this  sort  of  preaching  and 
living  being  exemplified  as  I  have  de- 
scribed, I  cannot  help  thinking  that 
as  similar  effects  are  usually  found  to 
be  produced  by  similar  causes,  there 
would  be  much  less  pride  and  covet- 
ousness,  and  ill   neighbourhood   and 
idleness,  and  qnarrelling  and   disho- 
nesty, and  infinitely  less  cant  and  fa- 
naticism and  hypocrisy  amongst  the 
people  of  Enalaud,  if  such  examples 
as  tnat  which  I  have  cited  were  moire

nreatened  Desiruciion  of  Si.  Mary  Overy^s  Ckptreh.        [Feb. 


lent  and  prudent  judges  of  matters  of 
bosioess  oehind  their  counters  (I  speak 
it  with  no  disrespect  for  commercial 

Sursnits),  are  certainly  totally  disquali- 
ed  from  their  habits  and  occupations 
to  direct  repairs  or  alterations  in  our 
public  edifices.  I  will  consider  (by  an 
extension  of  charity)  that  these  volun- 
tary desecrators  of  our  fine  old  Gothic 
fanes  are  actuated  by  no  puritanical 
hostility,  arising  from  the  assumed  su- 
perior illumination  of  dissent  against 
our  national  Church,  although,  alas ! 
constituted  as  parish  authorities  now 
frequently  are,  such  a  feeling,  either 
openly  or  insidiously,  may  acquire  in- 
fluence and  prevail.  1  will  consider 
them  combined  merely  in  a  committee 
of  economy,  and  that  their  inleniion  is 
but  summarily  to  get  rid  of  such  parts 
of  the  venerable  edifice,  as  it  would 
require  a  considerable  sum  to  repair. 
But  will  it  be  believed  or  endured, 
that  in  an  age  in  which  the  architec- 
tural improvement  of  the  British  Me- 
tropolis IS  so  much  sought  and  pursued 
at  a  lavish  expenditure,  that  this  noble 
and  now  almost  solitary  remnant  of 
ancient  ecclesiastical  architecture  with- 
in the  limits  of  the  City  of  London, 
should  be  swept  from  tne  surface  of 
the  earth  or  disfigured,  on  the  paltry 
plea  of  pecuniary  expediency  ?  Is  it  of 
no  importance  to  the  effect  of  the  mag- 
nificent Bridge  which  is  now  in  the 
course  of  rapid  completion  across  the 
Thames,  that  its  southern  approach 
should  be  seen  in  combination  with 
so  splendid  a  monument  of  the  piety 
of  our  forefathers  ? 

When  the  destruction  of  the  Hall 
of  Eltham  Palace  was  meditated,  some 
members  of  the  British  Senate  thought 
proper  to  raise  a  strong  and  effectual 
protest  in  its  favour;  and  will  they 
suffer  St.  Saviour's  Church,  South- 
wark,  to  fall,  or  be  mutilated,  tvithout 
a  single  word  for  its  protection  ?  I  do 
not  believe  it ;  it  is  only  because  these 
things  are,  in  the  first  place,  meditated 
to  secretly,  and  consummated  so  sud- 
denly, that  they  are  effected  without 
the  interference  of  the  members  of  the 
legislative  and  executive  Government. 
I  call  upon  them  not  silently  to  suffer 
this  ancient  and  striking  feature  of  our 
national  architecture  to  be  disfigured 
or  destroyed.  I  call  upon  the  S(x:iety 
of  Antiquaries  of  London,  as  a  body, 
once  more  to  exert  whatever  influence 
they  may  possess,  to  arrest  such  a  mea- 
sure. Be  the  parish  of  St.  Saviour's 
really  too  poor  to  undertake  the  resto- 


ration of  the  building,  surely  a  few 
thousands  (whatever  the  state  of  pub- 
lic finance)  would  be  cheerfully  con- 
ceded by  the  City  of  London,  or  Par- 
liamenty  for  so  reasonable  an  object. 
Let  the  building  be  repaired  as  nearly 
as  possible  on  the  principles  of  the  ori- 
ginal construction  of  its  existing  parts. 
A  successful  specimen  of  such  an  at- 
tempt is  exhibited  at  the  east  end  of 
the  Church,  although  I  think  it  was 
somewhat  dearly  bought  by  the  de- 
struction of  the  ancient  Chapel  conti- 
guous, and  the  monuments  which  it 
contained. 

The  space  cleared  for  the  approaches 
to  the  new  London  Bridge  most  fortu- 
nately will  throw  the  old  Church  com- 
pletely open  to  view ;  the  houses  which 
surround  it  are  for  the  greater  part  of 
an  old  and  valueless  description,  and 
nothing  could  be  easier  to  effect  than 
a  commodious  square  of  handsome 
buildings  surrounding  the  Church, 
which  would  be  eagerly  occupied  by 
commercial  men  for  their  town  resi- 
dences. Let  those  whose  inierests  it 
may  concern  look  well  to  this;  and 
let  all  who  love  the  history  and  an- 
cient monuments  of  their  native  land, 
unite  in  any  way  which  may  lie  within 
their  power  to  forward  the  object  of 
this  appeal. 

For  myself,  Mr.  Urban,  I  am  an 
old  friend  and  acquaintance  of  this 
conventual  pile;  even  in  my  boyish 
days  I  loitered  in  her  long-drawn  aisles, 
contemplated  her  embowered  roof,  lis- 
tened to  the  swell  of  the  oigan,  and 
the  chaunt  of  infant  praise,  surveyed 
the  martial  traits  of  the  mailed  tem- 
plar, her  benefactor,  or  paused  at  the 
tomb  of  thexhaplet-crowned  old  Eng- 
lish minstrel  Gower.  I  shall  still  watch 
her  fate,  and  if  she  must  fall,  or  be 
dishonoured  by  the  apirit  of  Vandal- 
ism, I  shall  do  my  best  to  ring  her 
knell,  without  respect  of  persous,  in 
the  ears  of  those  who  are  the  authors 
of  the  violence. 

Yours,  &C.  SUTHRIBNSIS. 

P.  S.  Since  writing  the  above,  I 
hnve  learnt  that  the  transepts  of  the 
Church  which  have  been  so  long  in  a 
ruinous  and  disgraceful  state,  are  to  be 
repaired,  and  that  the  principal  feature 
of  the  proposed  mutilation  is  tg  be  the 
lowering  of  the  present  roof,  a  design 
which  will  much  injure  the  effect  of 
the  building,  and  at  variance  with  the 
hi^h'poiuted  style  of  Gothic  in  which 
it  IS  constructed.

too  Diiireuet  of  the  Manufacturing  and  Labouring  Chsies.     [F«b* 


M.  I  Too  A*,     Summerlands,  Exeier, 
r.  URBAN,  p^j^   2 

AN  Antiquarian  Magazine,  of  such 
long  and  e&tablish^  repute  as  the 
Gentleman's,  records  whatever  may  be 
of  general  interest  and  utility  to  future 
generations.  Nothing,  within  the  whole 
scope  of  the  uncertain  science  of  po- 
litical economy*  has  created  so  deep  a 
sensation  in  me  public  mind,  as  the 
suflferings    and    distress    so    prevalent 
among  manufacturers  and  the  labour* 
ing  classes  uf  the  |)eople.     Ascribed  to 
a  multiplicity  of  causes,  this  dreadful 
visitation  of  Providence,  apparently,  is 
traced  to  none  distinctly,  while  it  is 
more  than  probable  that  all  of  them, 
operating  variously,  contribute  to  pro- 
duce  the  melancnuly  efTect  so  much 
felt  and  lamented.    At  a  recent  Counlj^ 
Meeting,  a  Noble  Lord  attributes  agri* 
cultural  distress  (it  is  thcnght  truly)  to 
not  having  lowered  rents  at  the  peace. 
Manufactures    yielded   the   prodigious 
profits  seen  during  the  war,   because 
the  competition,    if  any,   was   feeble 
and  unavailing.     It  is  now  far  other- 
wise, as  our  own  nnchiiiery  is  erected 
and    in   activity  against   ui    all    over 
Europe  and  America;  and  inferior  as 
the  produce  has  co:iip»raiivelv  been,  it 
has  approximated  to  an  equality  which 
has  lowered  the  value  of  and  demand 
for  British  manufactures.    Buonn|nrte, 
that  eminent  destroyer  of  the  iiumnii 
race,  and  whose  inordinate  auibitioii 
occasioned   four  hundred    millions   of 
the  national  debt,  endeavoured  in  the 
Netherlands  to  rival  the  manufactures 
of  this   country,   and    siiinally    failed. 
The  consequence  was  a  distress  among 
operatives,  similar  to  what  is  now  un- 
fortunately  experienced    here.     That 
eounlry  abounding  in  moors  of  an  im- 
provable substratum,  the  government 
judiciously     resolved     to    employ    the 
starting  and  distrc:»sed   manufacturers 
and  labourers  in  cultivating  these  snare 
and  unproductive  laiids,  by  spade,  noe, 
and  maitock-hubbandry,  under  the  in- 
struction and   guidance  of  competent 
persons.     Sufficient   habitations   were 
erected,  and  government  sustained  all 
expenses,   till  a   successful  course  of 
systematic  labour  and  industry  rendered 
such  assistance  unnecessarjr.    The  bar- 
ren ground  thus  brought  into  cultiva- 
tion is  now  among  the  most  fertile  in 
the  Netherlands  I    while  former   dis- 
tress has  disappeared,  with  a  great  in- 
crease of  that    national  wealth    and 
proaperity,  which,  through  manufac- 


tures and  commerce,  are  intimately 
connected  with  successful  agricultuie. 
Emigration  has  frequently  been  pro- 
posed as  an  efficient  means  of  providing 
for  manufacturers  and  labourers  unem- 
ployed. When  such  proceed  to  BriiisU 
colonies,  the  publie  welfare  is  bene- 
fited; but  otherwise,  they  strengthen 
foreign  nations  to  the  injury  ot  the 
mother  country,  in  the  present  case 
of  almostseneral  distress,  funds  cannot 
be  found  for  the  removal  of  a  sufficient 
number  for  rendering  adequate  relief. 
Besides,  when  population  is  diminisheJ 
by  this  expedient,  the  chasm  it  sooa 
filled  up,  and  suffering  rises  rapidly  to 
iu  original  level.  A  permanent  re* 
medy,  of  constant  application,  it  want- 
ing; and,  fortunately,  it  It  obvious, 
efficient,  and  of  easy  application.  The 
waste  lands  amount,  at  the  lowest 
estimation,  to  five-and-twenty  millions 
of  acres,  to  which  may  be  added  about 
six  millions  of  rocadow-hnd.  Without 
loss  of  time,  proper  farm-houses  ought 
to  be  constructed  on  the  waste  lands 
most  contiguous  to  the  parts  of  the 
kingdom  where  pauperism  and  want 
of  labour  appear  to  be  most  prevalenL 
Under  the  management  and  superin* 
tendance  of  |)ersons  skilled  in  agricul- 
ture, the  able-bodied  objects  now  re* 
ceiving  poor-rates  should  be  located  on 
the  prepared  sites,  with  all  requlsitca 
provided  for  setiins  them  to  workt  in 
the  cultivation  of  their  resiiective  allot- 
ments, by  means  of  tpaae-hMMhandnf. 
The  females,  furnished  in  the  first  in- 
stance with  the  raw  materials,  will, 
ere  long,  furnish  articles  of  clothing 
for  their  families.  Thus,  in  a  short 
time,  these  establishments  will  main- 
tain themselves,  provide  for  the  tenantp 
and  yield  a  rent.  Where  is  the  ex* 
pense  of  carrying  into  effect  so  very 
eligible  a  plan  to  come  from?  ]i  is 
manifest  that  a  fair  portion  of  ihe  poor- 
rate  cannot  be  more  advantageously 
employed.  The  sale  of  the  waste  landis 
has  been  frequently  proposed,  for  dif- 
ferent useful  purposes.  To  defray  the 
first  expense  of  the  important  and  in- 
dispensable plan,  imperfectly  sketched* 
here  are  the  ready  means,  as  these 
lands  would  be  purchased  with  monej 
that  cannot  now  be  employed.  It  ts 
quite  unnecessary  to  point  out  how 
highly  the  national  interests  would  be 
proiiioied  by  the  sale  and  cultivation  of 
at  leaiii  a  due  proportion  of  ground 
now  comparatively  useless.  Theclercy

from  Nonray  muI  L*pbiid,  fron  the  Euft

Mr.  Urbak,        Barnei,  Dec.  14. 

HAVING  passed  my  schoolboy- 
days  at  South  Mims,  and  being 
here  on  a  short  visit,  I  made  a  pilgrim- 
age to  the  old  Church  there,  endeared 
to  me  by  many  recollections.  The 
tower  ancf  body  of  it  were  built  not  later 
probably  than  the  reign  of  Henry  II. 
The  chancel,  and  a  part  now  inclosed 
by  a  screen  (the  latter  apparently  about 
Henry  VI.'s  time),  were  evidently  built 
at  a  different  period.  The  whole  of 
this  part  of  the  structure  is  lower,  both 
the  roof  and  range  of  windows*. 

South  Mims  Church  has  been  very 
rich  in  stained  glass,  as  appears  by  the 
following  entry,  made  A.  U.  l621,  in 
the  Register.  This  volume,  which  is 
of  vellum,  commences  in  1658,  and 
reaches  to  1703,  and  is  in  fuie  preser- 
vation. 

"An'oDVi,  1681. 

**  A  sete  of  ceruune  windowes  in  the 
Charch  of  South  Mims,  uken  out  in  the 
year  above  written,  at  whose  cost  they  were 
made  and  in  what  yeare,  as  doth  plainely 
apeare  in  the  windows  by  the  date  of  the 
Lord. 

**  The  firste  greate  window  on  the  north 
side  abutting  westward,  was  made  by  Richard 
Walter  and  John  fioman,  in  the  year  1 526. 

**  The  next  window  was  made  by  the 
yonsg  men  and  maydes  of  the  same  p'rish, 
m  the  year  of  o'  Lord  1526. 

*  A  view  of  tills  Church  will  be  found  in 
•Hit  LXV.p.  34fi.^EDiT. 


**  The  next  Io  thai  <Nia»  tha  north  aide, 
made  by  Richard  Hiialy  in  tha   year 
1596. 

<*  Tha  fourth  window  one  tha  nordi  aide 
waa  made  by  Tbomaa  Franeeiay  in  the  year 
of  o' Lord  1596. 

«  The  fifih  window  one  tha  aorth  side, 
towards  the  east,  waa  made  by  the  good 
women  of  tha  aame  p'riih,  in  tha  year  of 
o^  Lord  1596. 

«  One  of  the  windowa,  one  the  aouth  side, 
was  made  by  Edward  Jones,  eititao  and 
muvhant  taylor  of  London,  in  ihe  year  at 
o*  Lord  1541. 

'*  There  is  no  mention  made  of  the  other 
of  that  side,  neither  of  the  weal  end  win- 
dowes, nor  tlie  west  windowes ;  who  noada 
them,  nor  when  they  were  made." 

Four  of  the  windows  exist,  in  dif- 
ferent degrees  of  preservation  :  enough 
remains  to  identify  those  of  ihe  May- 
dens,  and  Richard  Walter's ;  and  one 
inscription  is  perfect : 

*<  Thys  Wendow  made  be  the  good  nan, 
Thomas  Francys,  1526." 

The  windows  remaining  are  all  of 
the  same  design  ;  a  priest  on  one  side 
kneeling  at  a  plain  table,  on  which  is 
a  book,  praying,  and  a  congregation  of 
men  behind.  On  the  other  side,  a 
lady  abbess,  similarly  occupied  and  at- 
tended, but  the  table  very  gaily  decked 
wiih  hangings  and  drapery. 

South  Mims  is  rich  in  monumental 
brasses.  In  front  of  the  communion- 
table is  a  grave-stone,  I  presume  about 
the  time  of  Edward  I.  On  it  are  four 
shields,  each  bearing  a  chevron  be- 
tween three  leopards  heads,  and  in- 
scribed, 

<<  Henri  Frowyk  gist  icy, 
Dieu  d*  Salme  eit  ra'cy." 

This  family  was  of  great  conse- 
quence heref,.as  in  the  porch,  under 
the  tower,  is  another  grave-stone  for 
Thomas  Frowyk,  on  which  are  the 
effigies  of  a  knight  (whose  head  lays  on 
a  helmet),  and  his  lady.  Beneath,  six 
boys  and  twelve  girls^.  The  brass, 
with  the  names  and  dates  of  their 
deaths,  is  lost,  as  also  the  shields  with 
the  arms;  but  another  remains,  with  a 
very  curious  epitaph,  in  these  hexame- 
ter lines,  written,  says  Weever,  by  John 
Whethamsted,  Abbot  of  St.  Alban'a.

Mr.  Urban,  Feb.  5. 

I  AM  informed  that,  in  your  Ma^- 
zinc  for  last  month,  a  letter  is  in- 
serted from  my  friend  Mr.  Upham, 
resnecting  my  little  treatise  on  the  life 
ana  character  of  Mohamed.  I  have  not 
read,  and  probably  never  shall  read  the 
article,  as  religious  controversy  wiTti 
A  FRIEND  is  not  to  my  taste.  I  un- 
derstand that  I  am  accused  by  him 
of  having  written  against  Christianity. 
Though  1  decline  controversy  with  a 
friend,  I  may,  I  trust,  be  permitted  to 
say,  that  I  nave  never,  in  any  work, 
written  a  word  against  our  leligion, 
though  I  may  have  expressed  myself 
with  warmth  against  the  frauds  of 
priests,  or  the  trash  and  nonsense  with 
which  the  simple  and  sublime  religion 
of  Jesus  Chribi  has  been  overlaid  by 
various  sectaries — Jumpers,  Ranters, 
Calvinists, — with  superstitions  degrad- 
ing to  the  character  of  the  Deity,  and 
subversive  of  morality,  filling  our  pri- 
sons with  criminals,  and  our  h(»s|)itals 
with  lunatics.  But  I  apprehend,  an 
impartial  reader  will  find  in  my  works 
new  and  important  arguments  in  fa- 
vour of  Christianity.  Fur  instance,  my 
observations  on  Mr.  Hume's  6ne  rea- 
aoning  on  miracles,  which  I  think  (in 
my  "  Celtic  Druids,**  ch.  iv.  sect.  22,) 
has,  for  the  first  time,  received  its  re- 
futation. It  is  very  remarkable,  that 
those  qf  my  friends  who  have  written 
igainsi  my  works,  are  very  clear-sighted 
m  teeing  what  they  are  pleased  to  call, 
or  jniecttll,   my  «tfack«   on    religion. 


though  they  seem  to  be  jperfectly  blin 
to  the  passages  which  tney  contain  i 
its  defence,  never,  /  have  reason  to  ht 
lieve,  having  noticed  one  of  them  ! 

It  is  unfortunate  that  many  ver 
religious  persons  should  imagine,  iha 
they  are  promoting  their  own  religion 
by  running  down  the  characters  o 
the  founders  of  those  of  their  neigh 
hours  and  fellow-subjects.  But  gc 
nuiiie  Christianity  requires  no  suet 
defences ;  and  I  am  quite  saiisfie< 
thai,  though  Mohamed' was  liable  u 
faults,  like  every  other  human  being 
yet  that  the  closer  his  character  is  can 
vassed,  the  clearer  it  will  appear  tha 
he  was  a  very  great  man,  both  con 
sidered  as  a  hero,  a  philosopher,  and  i 
Christian,  the  latter  of  which  he  realh 
was,  as  he  professed  to  believe  in  th! 
divine  mission  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  it 
the  truth  of  the  doctrines  taught  b; 
him.  But  I  can  no  more  allow  hin 
to  be  responsible  for  the  whole  of  thi 
Koran  forged  by  his  followers,  than  '. 
can  |)erinit  Jesus  Christ  to  be  res|>on 
sible  for  what  is  said  in  the  (almost 
scores  of  works,  called  Gospels,  writtei 
respecting  him. 

With  the  best  wishes  for  the  pro 
sperity  of  your  excellent  Magazine,  J 
remain.  Sir,  yours,  &c.

Noiicet  of  TavUtock  and  its  Abbey,

Mr.  Urban,  Feb.  4. 

1HAVE  been  favoared  byMra.  Brav, 
of  the  Vicarage  House,  Taviitock, 
whose  antiquarian  taste  is  well  known 
by  her  historical  romances,  with  the 
enclosed  drawing  of  two  pieces  of 
panel,  in  the  possession  of  the  Rev.  E. 
A.  Bray,  F.S.A.  her  husband,  relics  of 
the  ancient  decorations  of  Tavistock 
church.  1  beg  to  offer  it  to  yoor  Mis- 
cellany, accompanied  by  some  notrt 
which  have  been  collected  by  myself, 
with  a  view  to  editing  an  account  of 
Tavistock  Abbey  and  its  environs.  Til 
these  notes  you  will  ha%*e  little  more 
than  a  skeleton  or  outline  of  such  an 
uiHlertaking,  and  whether  I  may  ever 
fill  them  up  as  I  could  desire,  must  de- 
pend upon  leisure  and  that  encoarage* 
mcnt  which  is  necessary  to  cfery  lite- 
rary undertaking,  which  the  author 
<loes  not  wish  oltimately  to  prove  a 
mulct  on  his  zeal  and  exertions.  Cer- 
tain it  is  that  Tavistock  and  its  en- 
virons afibrd  highly  beautiful  objects 
for  graphic  illustration,  that  several 
characters  eminent  in  history  are  con- 
nected with  the  place,  and  that  the 
parish  chest  is  remarkably  rich  in  an- 
cient deeds,  and  churchwarden's  ac- 
counts, some  of  which  I  examined  at 
Tavistock  in  the  year  1837f  but  many 
more  siill  remain,  which  I  hope  ere 
long  to  have  an  opportunity  of  peru&-, 
inq.  In  the  mean  time  I  shall  be 
happy  if  ihc  subsequent  cursory  memo- 
randa may  be  fuund  acceptable  to  your, 
readers. 

The  church,  monastic  dwellings, 
and  precinct  of  the  Abbey  of  Tavistock 
in  Devon,  were  situated  within  a  few 
vaids  of  the  right  bank  of  the  river 
Fary,  on  a  narrow  plain,  very  slightly 
elevated  above  the  bed  of  that  river, 
and  surrounded  on  the  north,  south, 
and  eJStern  sides  by  eminences. 

The  Tavy  is  a  rapid  stream,  and  has 
iis  course  throu^^h  a  rocky  channel;  the 
(icpih  of  this  river  is  very  variable,  de- 
fend'] n^  much  on  the  quaniiiy  of  ruin 
which  descends  from  the  high  lands 
above  mentioned.  When  thia  is  con- 
lidrrable  the  Tavy  becomes  an  object 
of  much  interest,  from  the  eflbris  of  its 
Wild  and  roaring  waters  to  surmount 
the  opposition  presented  to  their  conrse 
by  the  numerous  fragments  of  rock, 
which  lie  scattered  in  the  bed  of  the' 
iiream.

beaatifully  picturesque  combinations 
at  every  step.  The  blue  waters'of  the

-plumage  flashes  like  a  meteor  across 
the  sombre  tints  of  the  trees.*        '    ' 

It  is  most  probable  that  the  emi- 
nences snrrouoding  Tavistock  Al)b(f^ 
were,  in  remote  times;  thickly  covered 
ivith  wood;f  this  mast  have  greatly 
heightened  the  beauty  of  the  swellihg 
uplands,  which,  as  it  were,  flank  the 
course  of  the  river,  and  thus  the  %\Vt 
was  admirably  well  chosen  for  a  life 
of  seclusion  and  holy  contemplation.

Such  is  Malmesbury's  account  of  the 
beauty  and  conveniences  of  the  place.} 

The  etymology  of  the  name  Tavis- 
tock does  not  appear  to  be  of  diflicnit 
solution.  '  '*  The  place  on  the  Tavy**  is 
evidently  implteu  by  the  compoutid ; 
but  it  may  be  observed  that  by  early 
writers  of  the  monkish  a^e,  the  Tavy 
is  called  the  Tan,  and  that  the  Tuw, 
the  Towy,  the  Tay,  and  the  Taf,  are 
common  appcllutives  of  many  British 
rivers.  The  Tavy  discharges  ftsclf  intof 
the  Tamar,  a  few  miles  above  Ply- 
mouth ;  of  which  Inst  mentioned  river 
it  may  be  accounted  a  branch,  lliercf 
can  be  little  doubt,  therefore,  that  the 
Tavy  is  an  abbreviation  of  the  British 
words  Tau  vfchan,  or  the  little  Tan,

Notices  of  Tav'utock  and  Us  Abbey, 


[Feb. 


mar),  the  sreat  Tau.  When  the  Saxons 
established  their  town  and  monastery 
on  the  banks  of  the  Tau  vechan,  they 
were  content  to  affix  a  short  adjunct 
from  their  own  language  to  the  ori- 
ginal British  words,  and  the  abbrevi- 
ated form,  so  much  sought  by  common 
parlance,  easily  moulded  Tau-vechan- 
stoke  into  Tavistock.  The  Saxon 
Chronicle  indeed  strongly  countenances 
this  opinion ;  in  that  venerable  record 
it  is  called  ^tepnjfcoke,  which, 
without  any  distortion,  may  be  read 
At-tavingstoke.* 

Ord^ar,  Duke  or  Heretoch  of  Devon, 
a  dignity  equal  to  that  of  permanent 
viceroy  or  petty  prioce,  founded  the 
Abbey  at  this  place,  A.D.  961,  in  con- 
lequence  of  a  remarkable  visiou  which 
appeared,  according  to  the  Cartulary  of 
lavistock,  to  him  and  his  wife.  The 
structure  was  completed  by  his  son 
Ordulf,  about  twenty  years  after.  It 
was  appropriated  to  the  residence  of 
monks  of  the  Benedictine  order,  and 
dedicated  to  St.  Mary  and  St.  llumon. 

Leland  found  a  MS.  Life  of  Rumon 
in  Tavistock  Abbey,  at  the  time  of 
the  suppression  of  monasteries.  He 
appears  by  this  account  to  have  been 
one  of  many  saints,  who  emigrated 
from  Ireland  into  Cornwall  in  the  6th 
or  6th  century,  for  the  pur))ose  of  en- 
joying the  deepest  seclutiion,  and  to 
nave  erected  for  himself  an  Oratory  in 
what  the  author  terms  a  Ncmaean  fo- 
rest, formerly  a  most  frequented  haunt 
of  wild  beasts.  This,  according  to  the 
MS.  was  at  Falmouth,  where  he  died 
and  was  buried ;  but  the  fame  of  his 
sanctity  still  surviving,  Ordulf,  on  com- 
pleting the  monastery  at  Tavistock, 
was  induced  to  remove  his  bones  from 
their  resting  place,  and  to  enshrine 
them  in  the  Abbey  Church,  where  they 
became  an  object  of  ignorant  devotion. 
Malmesbury  seems  to  lament  that  the 
miracles  of  Rumon,  in  common  with 
those  of  many  other  saints,  owing  to 
the  violent  hostility  of  subsequent 
tiines,  remained  unrecorded.  No  doubt 
this  hiatus  was  amply  supplied  in  the

volume  found  by  Leland,  and  the  la- 
bours of  him  who  perhaps  was  really  a 
zealous  and  fearless  propagator  of  Chris- 
tianity in  the  primitive  times,  were 
converted  into  a  series  of  ascetic  mor- 
tifications, degrading  to  reason,  and 
worse  than  useless  to  society,  while  bis 
sanctity  became  attested  by  the  detail 
of  miracles  more  absurd  than  the  wild- 
est of  the  Arabian  tales.  Of  the  re- 
puted saints,  however,  many  were  really 
such  in  their  day;  heroic  soldiers,  like 
St.  Paul,  of  Christ's  Church  militant  on 
earth,  in  perils  and  persecution ;  but  the 
purity  of  their  doctrines  becoming  ob- 
scured during  temporal  convulsions,  the 
monks  issued  from  their  scriptoria  new 
versions  of  their  lives,  which  suited 
their  own  purposes  for  the  time,  but 
have  had  the  etfect  in  these  enlightened 
days  of  clouding  the  memory  of  holy  men 
with  much  of  doubt  and  incredulity. 

In  an  account  of  Tavistock  Abbey  it 
is  im))ossible  to  pass  over  the  story  of 
King  Edgar's  marriage  with  Elfrida, 
the  daughter  of  Ordgar,  the  Heretoch 
of  Devon.  1  shall  be  content  to  relate 
it  in  Malmesbury*s  own  words.* 

**  There  was  in  the  time  of  Edgar  one 
Athelwoldi  a  nobleman  of  celebrity,  and  one 
of  hit  confidants.  The  King  had  commis- 
sioned him  to  vittt  £]fthrida,  daughter  of 
Ordgar,  Duke  of  Devonshire  (whose  charms 
had  so  fascinated  the  eyes  of  some  persons 
that  they  commended  her  to  the  king),  and 
to  offer  her  marriage  if  her  beauty  were 
really  equal  to  report.  Hastening  on  his 
embassy,  and  finding  every  thing  consonant 
to  general  estimation,  he  coneealed  his  mis- 
sion from  her  parents,  and  procured  the 
damsel  for  himself.  Returning  to  the  king 
he  told  a  tale  which  made  for  his  own  pur- 
pose, that  she  was  a  girl  nothing  out  of  the 
common  track  of  beauty,  and  by  no  means 
worthy  of  such  trauscendaot  dignity.  When 
Edgar  s  heart  was  disengaged  from  this  af- 
fair, and  employed  on  other  amours,  soma 
tattlers  acquainted  him  how  completely 
Athelwold  had  duped  him  by  his  artifices. 
Paying  him  in  his  own  coin,  that  is  retam- 
ing  him  deceit  for  deceit,  he  shewed  the  earl 
a  fair  countenance,  and,  as  in  a  sportivo 
manner,  appointed  a  day  when  he  would 
visit  this  fisr  famed  lady.  Terrified  almost 
to  death  with  this  dreadful  pleasantry,  he 
hastened  before  to  his  wife,  entieating  that 
she  would  administer  to  his  safety  by  attiring 
herself  as  unbecomingly  as  possible ;  then 
first  disclosing  the  intention  of  such  a  pro- 
ceeding, fiut  what  did  not  this  woman  dare! 
She  was  harchr  enough  to  deceive  the  confi- 
dence of  her  first  lover,  her  husband ;  to  call 
up  every  charm  by  aTt,  and  to  omit  nothing

Mr.  Urbak,  Feb.  4. 

IT  is  one  of  the  man]^  disadvantages 
under  which  Historical  and  Anti- 
quarian literature  labours,  that  th« 
contents  of  some  of  the  public  reposi- 
tories are  but  little  known  to  the  world. 

The  Chapter  House,  Westminster^ 
contains  muniments  of  the  most  va- 
luable, but  miscellaneous,  nature ;  and 
in  I8O7  the  Record  Commission  or- 
dered an  Inventory  to  be  made  of  them. 
Three  copies  only  were  taken  of  it; 
and  of  the  existence  of  these,  very  few 
persons  are  aware.  Having  made  an 
abstract  of  the  "  Alphabetical  Index" 
to  the  one  in  the  British  Museum,  I 
send  it  for  publication  in  the  Gentle- 
man*s  Magazine. 

It  is  but  an  act  of  justice  to  add, 
that  the  present  Keeper  of  the  Chapter 
House  has  always  manifested  a  disposi- 
tion  to  afford  as  much  facility  to  lite- 
rary inquiries  as  the  existiug  regula- 
tions of  that  establishment  will  permit, 
so  that  by  making  your  readers  ac- 
quainted with  its  stores,  you  will  pro- 
bably be  the  means  of  bringing  to 
light  many  historical  facts. 

Yours,  &c.  N.  H.  N. 

General  Inventory  of  all  the  Record*,

At  a  hoard  of  the  Commissioners, 
held  on  Thursday,  00th  July,  1807,  it 
was  ordered  that  Mr.  Illingworth,  as  a 
Sub-Commissioner,  together  with  Mr. 
Ellis  and  Mr.  Richards,  do  proceed 
immediately  to  make  a  general  Inven- 
tory of  all  the  Records,  and  other  pub- 
lic documents,  preserved  in  the  Chap- 
ter House,  the  said  inventory  to  be  m

Lt/»  mid  ffriimgi  of  Ckmtapker  Marlowe. 


[PeU 


Thn  talc,  howeter,  has  quite  tt  un- 
stable a  foundation  as  many  others  that 
have  been  related  of  him,  though  his 
biographers,  kind  souls!  hare  almost 
universally  taken  the  thing  for  granted, 
and  dismissed  poor  Christopher  to  per- 
dition^ like  his  own  Faustus,  without 
troubling  themselves  to  inquire  into 
the  iusuce  of  his  sentence.  Let  us 
see,  however,  with  whom  the  charge 
originated.  The  reader  has  already 
ficrused  the  substance  of  it,  in  the  ex- 
tract from  the  '*  Golden  Grove**  of  W. 
Vaughan,  whose  puritanical  prejudices 
were  not  calculated  to  render  him  very 
nice  in  his  assertions  upon  any  subject 
tonnected  with  the  Drama,  since  he 
devotes  one  of  his  chapters  to  an  in- 
quiry *'  whether  Stage- playes  ought  to 
be  suffred  in  a  wet-souerned  common- 
wealth ;*'  and  after  discussing  the  ques- 
tion with  all  the  amiable  temper  and 
impartiality  usually  displayed  by  such 
writers  upon  such  subjects,  be  arrives 
at  the  sage  conclusion,  that,  "  beine 
fraught  altogether  with  scurrilities  and

lerable.'* Vaughan,  however,  was  not 
the  first  relater  of  the  story ;  neither 
•was  Meres  ("Wits*  Treasury),  as 
stated  by  the  editor  of  Marlowe,  IS26 ; 
both  of  them  havine  borrowed  it  from 
a  quarto  work  called  "The  Theatre  of 
God's  Judgments,"  15^,  written  by 
that  savage  old  puritan  Thos«  Beard, 
who,  in  his  S3d  chapter,  treating  "of 
epicures  and  atheisu,**  gives  the  fol- 
4owing  more  circumstantial  detail  of 
Marlowe's  imputed  atheistical  opi- 
nions, with  a  description  of  his  death, 
which  is  so  outrageously  over-done, 
that  it  refutes  itself,  or,  if  true,  merely 
shotvs  that  he  died  delirious : 

'*NoC  inferior  to  any  in  tthe'tsms  and 
iinpietie,  and  equall  to  all  in  maaer  of  pu- 
nisnment,  was  one  of  our  own  natiou  called 
Marlin,*  by  profession  a  scholler,  brought 
vp  from  his  youth  in  the  Vniversitie  of  Cam- 
brklge,  but  by  practise  a  play- maker  and  a 
poet  of  scurrilttie,  who,  by  gioing  too  large 
a  twinge  to  his  owne  wit,  and  sufieriog  hb 
lost  to  baue  the  full  reines,  fell  (not  with- 
out just  desert)  to  tliat  outrage  and  eatre- 
jDitie,  that  he  denied  God  and  hia  sonne 
Christ :  aod  not  onely  in  word  blasphemed 
the  Trinitie,  but  also  (as  it  is  credOUy  re- 
portedj  wrote  bookes  against  it,  affirming 
our  Saviour  to  be  but  a  deceiuer,  and  Motes 
to  be  but  a  coniurer  and  seducer  of  the  peo-

had  written  those  blatphemiea,  to  be  the  in- 
ttmment  to  punith  him^  and  that  in  hb

This  is  the  earliest  mention  of  Mar- 
lowe hjf  name  as  a  blasphemer;  but 
Mr.  Collier,  in  the  "  Poetical  Deca« 
meron,"  has  given  an  extract  from  a 
volume  printed  iu  1594,  under  the  title 
of  "The  French  Academic,^'  by  T.B. 
(doubtless  the  Thomas  Beard  just 
quoted),  in  which  he  is  evidently  al- 
luded to,  though  covertly,  as  "  a  blas- 
phemous hel-hoond.**  An  edition  of 
this  book  of  an  earfier  date  (1589),  is 
in  my  possession,  but  it  has  not  the 
passage  in  question. 

Beard's  account,  as  I  before  re» 
marked,  has  hitherto  passed  unques- 
tioned. It  has  been  repeated  by  nu- 
merous writers,  as  derived  rrom  un- 
questionable authority ;  and  though  the 
exact  coincidence  of  their  stories,  and 
even  language,  which  shows  that  they 
all  resorted  to  tbe  same  doubtful  source 
of  intelligence,  ought  to  have  excited 
suspicion  and  inquiry,  the  warmest 
admirers  of  Marlowe's  genius  have 
been  content  to  believe  that,  in  re- 
ligious matters,  he  was  a  sad  reprobate. 
Bishop  Tanner  styles  him  "  a  norrible 
and  blasphemous  atheist;**  and  Ant. 
Wood,  who  had  little  afiection  for  the 
race  of  poets,  has  given  universal  cur- 
rency to  the  relation,  by  contriving  to 
introduce  it  in  his  "  Athensa,'*  Art. 
"  Thomas  Newton,'*  where  he  says, 
that  "  Marlowe  denied  Grod  and  his 
Son  Christ,  and  not  only  in  word 
blasphemed  the  Trinity,  but  also,  at  it 
loat  credibly  reported,  wrote  divers 
*  Discourses'  against  it,  affirming 
our  Saviour  to  be  a  deceiver  and  Moses 
to  be  a  conjuror,  and  all  religion  but  a 
device  of  policy.  But  see  the  end  of 
this  person,  which  was  noted  by  all,

1  have,  however,  a  theory  upon  tbii 
point,  lo  which  I  would  not  be  thought 
10  attach  undue  importance,  but  which^ 
if  allowed  lo  possess  any  degree  of  pro- 
babilily,  may  perhaps  serre  lo  let  the 
i^ueiiian  at  rest.  I  surmise,  that  the

Wood,  it  will  have  been  observed, 
says,  in  his  account  of  him,  ihal  he

Lift  and  IVrtiingt  ofChruiapher  Marlowe, 


[FA. 


Acain,  Lib.  iii.  Eleg.  8 : 
**  Wben  bad  fates  uke  good   meny  I  am 

forbod, 
By  Mcret  tboughu,  to  tbink  tbtre  is  i  Ood.*' 

Other  linn,  equally  objectionable, 
might  l>e  adduced,  but  these  will  suf- 
:fice  to  itlustraie  my  argument;  and  it 
is  needless  to  swell  this  article  H'ith 
■further  quotations  from  pieces  which 
now  may  readily  be  referred  to.  -  The 
l>omba8i  of  the  hero  of  '*  Tamburlaine*' 
can  scarcely  fail  to  amuse ;  but  I  must 
confess,  that  expressions  occasionally 
occur  in  that  play,  which  might  rea- 
.Fonably  pive  offence  to  minds  far  less 
squeamishly  constituted  than  those  of 
Messrs.  Beard,  Vaughan,  and  the  rest. 
Is  ity  therefore,  byanv  means  improba- 
ble, that  it  was  this  laxity  of  language 
which  mainly  contributed  to  blacken 
Marlowe's  reputation ;  or  that  these 
'*  Two  Tragicall  Discourses**  M-ere 
transformed  by  puritanical  zeal  into 
set  discourses  agamst  religion  ? 

The  reader,  nevertheless,  will  judge 
for  himself  of  a  matter  upon  which 
perhaps,  at  this  remote  |)eriod,  and 
with  the  paucity  of  matenals  we  pos- 
sess for  forming  an  opinion,  it  is  im- 
passible to  arrive  at  any  positive  con- 
clusion. Let  me  not,  however,  be 
understood  to  as«ert  that  Marlowe  was 
wholly  free  from  that  dangerous  folly 
which  esteems  free-thinking  to  be  a 
mark  of  spirit,  and  which  frequently 
tempts  men,  for  the  sake  of  appearing 
witty,  to  handle  sacred  subjects  pro- 
fanely. Thus  far,  I  fear,  he  must  be 
considered  guilty;  but,  in  the  total 
absence  of  satisfactory  proof,  let  him 
not  be  branded  as  a  cold-blooded  sceptic 
—a  deliberate,  casuistical  blasphemer, 
who  not  only  entertained  atheistical 
opinions  himself,  but  aimed  at  shaking 
the  faith  of  others  by  disseminating 
them  in  his  works. 

Before  I  quit  the  examination  of 
this  point,  I  must  mention  that,  among 
the  papers  of  ihe  Lord  Keeper  Picker- 
ing, in  the  British  Museum,  there  is 
preserved  a  most  cnrions  manuscript 
relating  to  MarIowc*s  imputed  blas- 
phemies, which,  with  those  who  are 
inclined  to  credit  the  tale,  *'  may  help 
to  thicken  other  proofs,  which  now 
demonstrate  thinly.*'  So  much  of  this 
remarkable  document  as  is  fii  to  be 
printed  1  shall  transcribe;  but  some  of 
the  passages  must  be  omitted,  for  rea- 
sons which  will  readily  be  imagined. 
They  who  are  desirous  to  peruse  the 
whole,  may  consult  that  somewhat 
rare  trad,  the  "  Obacrvaiioos  on  War* 


ton's  Hist.  English  Poetry,"  by  Ritson, 
p.  40,  where  it  is  given  entire.

Walk  through  thb  Highlands. 

{QmtiHMed  from  VoL  zcix.  ii./>.4870 

THE  following  morning  something 
of  our  listlessnets  remained  ;  but, 
after  breakfast,  thanks  to  the  town- 
crier,  with  his  red  coat  and  his  drum, 
things  seemed  to  brighten  upon  us. 
Through  the  kindness  of  my  friend 

I  had  received  letters  of  intro- 

dnction  to  Mr.  Owen,  one  of  the  pro* 

Erietors  of  the  Cotton  Mills  at  New 
Anark,  objects  well  worthy  of  atten- 
tion* and  which  cannot  be  inspected 
unless  by  persons  made  known  m  this 
way  to  one  of  the  manaeers.  We 
found  Mr.  Owen  at  the  mills,  and  re* 
otived  from  him  CTcry  civility.  He 
informed  us  that,  at  the  present  time, 
between  two  and  three  thousand  people 
were  employed  at  the  manufactory. 
But  a  very  considerable  share  of  his 
attention  seemed  to  be  directed  to  the 
Schools,  forming  part  of  the  establish* 
meat,  one  consisting  of  three  hundred 
bars,  the  other  of  the  same  number  of 
girla.  He  did  not  appear  to  follow  ex* 
actly  the  system  or  Lancaster  or  Dr^ 
Bell,  but  rather  united  the  two,  in 
expecution,  I  suppose,  of  improring 
upon  both.  The  Lancasterian  system, 
however,  appeared  to  me  to  be  the 
basis ;  and  we  saw  the  boys  go  through 
their  manoeuvres,  by  the  sound  of  the 
monitor's  whistle,  with  much  precision. 
Mr.  Owen  seemed  altogether  to  disap- 
prove of  the  system  of  punishment  or 
reward.  Not  so  the  master;  for,  in 
the  corner,  we  observed  a  delinquent 
with  some  ticket  of  disapprobation 
pinned  to  his  sleeve,  at  which  our 
conductor  ap()eared  considerably  an- 
noyed. 

The  establishment  is  of  thirty  years* 
standing.  Formerly,  the  people  era- 
ployed  were  notorious  for  their  extreme 
dissoluteness  of  manners  and  immo- 
rality; now,  according  to  our  in- 
formant, they  are  as  remarkable  for  the 
opposite  qualities.  Many  new  regu- 
lations have  been  lately  introduced. 
Amongst  others,  ihey  have  a  public 
table,  and  a  shop  within  the  premises 
for  the  sale  of  all  necessary  articles  of 
food  and  clothing.  These  innovations 
Hrere  at  first  very  obnoxious,  aod  ac- 
"dingly  resisica;  but  the  people  are 


at  length  not  only  reconciled  to  them, 
but  fully  aware  of  their  advantages. 

I  was  given  to  understand  that  the 
employment  amongst  the  cotton  was 
not  so  unhealthy  as  generally  supposed  * 
and  we  saw  a  machine,  latelv  invented. 
Cor  removing  the  most  injurfous  part  of 
the  process.  The  women  ana  sirls 
employed,  with  few  exceptions,  kmied 
healthy  and  smarL 

The  machinery  was  of  fir,  a  good 
deal  of  it  foreign,  and  appeared  in  ex- 
cellent order.  In  ilie  lower  atones  are 
for^  for  iron  and  brass-work,  some  of 
which  had  an  excellent  polish,  and 
was  well  worked.  Indeed  erery  thing 
appeared  well  regulated  and  most  com* 
piete. 

The  noise  of  the  machinery  is  dis- 
tressingly loud,  and,  on  the  onuide  of 
the  muU,  resembles  that  of  the  Falls, 
for  which  it  might  easily  be  mistaken* 
Close  to  the  mills  a  minor  fall  presents 
itself,  which,  ia  England,  would  be 
deemed  very  pretty,  perhaps  magnifi- 
cent, and  ornamented  most  carefully. 
Sometimes,  however,  there  is  a  de- 
ficiency of  water. 

Mr.  Owen  has  an  excellent  house 
in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  mills,  in 
a  beautiful  situation,  surrounded-  by 
somewhat  lofty  hills,  and  which  are 
planted  in  very  good  taste. 

We  started  (walking)  firom  our  inn 
at  Lanark  at  half- past  two,  taking  the 
road  to  Hamilton.  This  was  oar  fint 
day  of  walking,  and  I  still  did  not 
quite  like  the  idea  of  the  knapuck  at 
my  back ;  I  therefore  carried  my  tjs- 
dependent  in  wj  hand  to  the  end  of 
the  town.  I  think  my  companion  had 
the  magnanimity  to  put  his  in  the 
proper  piace  at  starting.  We  had  not 
proceecied  far  before  we  came  within 
sound  of  the  Fall  of  Stony  Byers,  on 
our  right,  a  steep  path  leading  down  to 
it  from  the  road.  This  fall  is  said  to 
be  only  fifty-eight  feet;  yet  it  struck 
me  as  being  superior  in  grandeur  to 
any  I  had  yet  seen.  Hitherto  art  had 
united  with  nature,  and  we  had  walk- 
ed to  Corra  Lynn  and  Boniton  through 
shady  avenues,  and  on  gravel  walks, 
without  a  weed.  Here  Nature  reigned 
supreme,  and  certainly  appeared  to 
greater  advantage  when  unassisted  and 
alone. 

The  afternoon  was  delightfully  plea- 
sant, and  we  lingered  some  time  under 
the  shade  of  beech  aod  alder,  while 
my  companion  sketched  the  Fall.  We 
rc-aacended  by  the  steep  path  to  iht

letteri,  one  from-  Dr.  Franklin,  the 
oiher  from  General  Washington.  The 
far-famed  Medals  can  only  be  seen  in 
the  presence  of  three  Professors;  and 
here  my  letters  of  introduction  were 
very  serviceable. 

After  bidding  adieu  to  these  gentle- 
men, we  put  ourselves  under  the  di- 
rection- of  Cameron,  the  janitor,  and 
iospecied  the  process  for  singeing 
muslin.  The  muslin  is  made  to  pass 
quickly  over  a  red-hot  iron  cylinder, 
also  in  motion,  and  thus  its  superflui- 
ties and  asperities  are- removed.  It 
comes  away  discoloured,  but  is  after- 
wards taken  to  the  bleach- Beld,  and 
there  obtains  its  snowy  whiteness. 
. .  It  was  now  too  fate  to  think  of 
walking  to  Dumbarton,  yet  we  found 
it  very  disagreeable  to  spend  another 
night  in  Glasgow.  After  a  hasty  re- 
past, therefore,  we  made  with  all  haste 
for  the  steani-l:oat,  which  was  to  sail 
for  Greenock  between  five  and  six. 
We  embarked  on  board  the  Princess 
(Charlotte,  and  were  speedily  at  Dun- 
glass. 

Duiiglass  is  about  three  miles  from 
Dumbarton,  and  from  hence  we  had  a 
very  pleasant  walk,  as  the  evening  was 
uncommonly  fine,  though  very  cool. 
The  rocks  to  the  right  of  the  road  are 
extremely  fine,  and  tne  first  appearance 
of  the  Castle  very  sirikinz. 

On  the  morning  of  Wednesday,  the 
10th,  some  slight  showers  did  not  pre- 
vent us  from  visiting  the  Castle.  From 
the  Church-yard  the  Ilock  has  a  noble 
appearance,  but  the  buildings  on  it  are 
but  insignificant.  They  are  by  no 
means  imposing  except  from  their  si- 
tuation, which  is  altogether  very  grand, 
the  hill,  disjoined  from  all  others,  rising 
from  an  immense  plain.    Under  the 

f guidance  of  a  soldier,  we  ascended  a 
ong  and  laborious  flight  of  steps  to  the 
batteries,  where  the  nrst  wonder  was  a 
miserable  troui  in  a  well.  This  6sh 
was  nearly  new  to  its  prison-house. 
Its  predecessor  had  lived  in  It  for  thirty 
years.  We  ascended  still  further,  to  the 
summit  of  the  lower  division.  From 
this  point  there  is  a  most  extensive 
and  varied  view  of  the  Clyde  and  the 
adjoining  country.  In  a  clear  day 
it  is  possible  to  see  Glasgow.  When 
we  visited  Dumbarton  it  was  hazy, 
and  the  view  rendered  much  less  mag- 
nificent from  the  absence  of  the  tide ; 
yet  we  thought  we  discovered  Ben 
Lomond.  Near  to  this  spot  is  a  sniull 
building,  in  which  General  St.  Simon 
9rM  bome  time  confined. 


Wc  descended  a  little,  in  order  to 
come  at  the  steps  leading  to  the  higher 
pinnacle,  where  a  small  party  of  the 
7 1  Ft  were  on  parade. 

Our  last  sizht  was  the  celebrated 
sword  of  Sir  William  Wallace,  kept  in 
the  Guard- Room,  and  which,  hke  the 
dirk  of  Hudibras,  might  be  used  either 
for  civil  or  warlike  purposes.  We  here 
left  our  friend  the  soldier,  and  were 
down  in  the  plain  in  a  few  seconds.

Mr.  Urbak,      ^'orton;lrtet.  Port- 
*  land-place, 

THK  high  and  merited  reputation 
which  your  excellent  Magazine 
has  maintained  from  its  origin,  renders 
it. a  duly  in  your  readers  to  correct  any 
mistake  of  which  it  may  have  been  the 
medium.  Your  corre»|K)ndent  W.  P. 
(in  your  January  Number)  has  no  doubt 
stated  exactly  what  Garrick  said  at 
Hampton  \  but  the  word  *'  establish- 
ment *  admits  of  a  doubtful  meaning; 
and  it  might  be  inferred  that  Garrick 
was  the  original  founder  of  the  Thea- 
trical Fund.  Now,  Sir,  the  real  founder 
of  the  Theatrical  Fund  was  Mr.  Thomas 
Hull,  a  learned  man  and  a  respectable 
actor.  The  Theatrical  Fund  originated 
at  Coven t  Garden  Theatre,  and  a  year 
or  two  afterwards  was  adopted  at  Drury* 
lane  Theatre,  and  Mr.  Garrick  wrdte 
and  spoke  an  Address  in  support  of  it» 
which  1  had  the  pleasure  of  hearinic,  in 
his  latter  days.  By  dcbire  of  Mr.  Riclw 
ards,  formerly  scene-painter  at  Covent 
Garden  Theatre,  on  the  death  of  Mr. 
Hull,  I  wrote  the  following  Epitaph, 
which  is  placed  on  his  tombstone  in 
the  Church-yard  of  St.  Margaret's, 
Westminster :

Mr.  Garrick  might  reasonably  re- 
joice that  he  adopted,  and  by  his  great 
talents  supported,  so  benevolent  an 
Institution.

officers  combftting  with  the  tenderer  and 
more  amiable  feelinga  of  human  naturt, 
that  I  myself  conld  with  difficulty  stifle  my 
emotion;  and  to  dispel  the  gloom  which 
hung  upon  my  roindi  I  bade  tne  officers  a 
hasty  and  respectful  adieu*  and  shaking 
hands  with  many  of  the  honest  seamen  on 
deck,  I  sprang  into  a  canoe  that  lay  along- 
side the  Brazen,  and  as  two  of  the  natives 
were  rowing  it  towards  the  shore,  I  took 
the  opportunity  of  playing  *  Over  the  hilU 
mid  far  atvoy,*  on  a  small  bugle  horn  which 
I  had  brought  with  me.  This  elicited  the 
admiration  of  the  sailors  of  the  ship,  and  I 
landed  amidst  the  hearty  cheers  and  accla- 
mations of  them  all.*' 

After  crossing  the  river  Formota, 
about  a  mile  in  width,  the  iravellere 
arrived  at  Badagry,  where  they  re- 
mained till  the  97tn  of  December,  be- 
ing comfortably  accommodated  at  the 
dwelling  of  Mr.  Houtson,  who  had 
previonsiy  resided  at  this  place.  On 
quitting  Badagry,  they  be^an  to  ex- 
perience the  dimculties  and  extreme 
miseries  of  African  travelling. 

"Captain  Oapperton  having  borrowed 
the  horse  of  a  Badagrian  chief,  lie  and  Mr. 
Houtson  agreed  to  ride  him  in  turns.  We 
took  a  short  route  across  the  country,  whilst 
Captain  Pearce  and  Dr.  Morrison  proceeded 
to  Dagnoo  by  a  safer  but  more  circuitous 
road.  It  was  evening  when  we  left  Book- 
har,  and  it  soon  becoming  darky  we  had  to 
grope  our  way  on  a  narrow  foot  path,  wind- 
ing through  a  gloomy  dismal  forest,  and 
rendered  almost  impervioiu  toman  or  beast, 
except  on  the  beaten  track,  by  reason  of 
thick  entangling  underwood.  To  add  to 
our  misery,  Captain  Clspperton  became  so 
painfully  gstlnl  in  consequence  of  ridine  on 
the  back  of  a  lean  horse  without  a  saddle^ 
that  he  preferred  walking  the  remainder  of 
the  way,  although  wesring  only  slippers; 
these  were  soon  lost,  and  he  was  obliged  to 
limp  a  considerable  distance  barefooted,  so 
that  his  feet  were  swollen,  and  blistered 
dreadfully,  and  Ufore  reaching;  Isaku  were 
literallv  bathed  in  blood."     P.  57. 

**The  roads  being  rendered  almost  im- 
passable, in  consequeoce  of  the  rains  that 
had  fallen  the  preceding  night,  it  was  not 
without  experiencing  considerable  difficulty 
that  we  could  pursue  our  journey.  The 
mud  and  water  reached,  in  some  places,  al- 
most to  the  horses*  shoulders  ;  and  Daw- 
son,* who  was  ill  with  ague,  was  unable  to 
retain  his  seat  on  the  animal's  back,  and 
fell  three  or  four  times  in  the  mire,  till  he 
became  so  much  exhausted  by  struggling  to 
regain  his  seat,  that,  in  despair,  he  at  last 
flnng  his  arms  only  across  the  horse*s  back  ; 
and  panting  with  his  exertions,  was  in  this

manner  dragged  to  a  considerable  dtatnice. 
At  eleven  o^ock  we  arrived  at  ihe  village  of 
Egbo ;  and  after  partaking  of  a  sTight  re- 
freshment, each  of  tts  being  indispoaed  in  • 
greater  or  less  degree,  we  stretched  our- 
selves at  full  length  on  our  mate*  in  the 
hope  of  obtaining  •  little  sleep.  Dawson , 
however,  was  taken  dreailfuUy  ill^  and  his 
moanings  of  distress  prevented  me  from 
closing  my  eyes.  He  pronounced  the  names 
of  his  wife  and  children,  whom  he  had  left 
in  England,  with  a  bitter  emphasis,  and  re- 
proached himself  repeatedly  with  biiving  de- 
serted them,  to  perish  miserably  in  a  strange 
coootry."  P.  74, 

Durine  his  agonies  poor  Dawson 
swallowed  a  dose  from  a  phial,  by 
mistake,  which  caused  his  immediate 
dissolution.  Captain  Pearce  and  Dr. 
iVIorrison  soon  after  fell  Tictims  to  ex- 
cessive fatigue  and  the  baneful  in* 
fluence  of  the  climate. 

After  experiencing  innumerable  di^ 
(iculties,  the  remainder  of  the  party 
arrived  at  Katunga,  the  capital  of  Ya- 
riba,  on  the  i5th  of  Jan.  1826,  where 
they  remained  seven  weeks,  the  King, 
on  various  frivolous  pretences,  refut- 
ing to  ^rant  them  permission  to  de* 
part.  The  account  which  Mr.  LaiMler 
gives  of  the  manners  and  customs  of 
the  inhabitants,  when  residing  there* 
is  very  amusing. 

On  the  6th  of  March  the  tratellen 
left  Katunga ;  but  Mr.  Houtson,  on 
account  of  ill  health,  was  left  behind, 
and  died  after  a  few  days'  illness— -the 
party  being  thus  reduced  to  two  Eofo- 

Cans  only,  Capt.  Clapperton  and  Mr. 
mder.  On  quitting  the  Yaribean 
territories,  they  passed  through  several 
villages  which  had  been  burnt  by  the 
Falatalis,  a  powerful  and  increasing 
tribe,  who  are,  at  the  present  time» 
desolating  the  interior  of  this  part  of 
Africa,  l)y  conquest  and  spoliation. 
Some  of  these  Falatahs  profess  the 
Maliommeclan  faith,  and  some  wor- 
ship idols,  like  the  natives  themselves, 
whilst  others  have  no  outward  form  of 
religion  at  all.  Many  of  them  are  for 
ever  wandering  from  place  to  place, 
like  the  Bedouin  Arabs,  and  olhert 
spend  a  tranquil  existence  in  the  occn- 
pntions  of  pasturage  and  aj^ricahure. 
Several  arc  suspected  of  stirring  up  the 
minds  of  the  people  against  their  rulera, 
and  treated  accordingly  with  as  mnch 
contumely  and  disrespect  as  the  Jews 
in  some  countries  of  Europe.

was  imineaaely  rich,  and  pciisessed 
of  JO  much  ioduence,  that  >he  had 
even  aspired  at  the  govern  men  I,  by 
Biiempling  lo  depose  her  lovereign. 
This  lady,  who  was  greatly  celebrated 
for  ihe  pln^uidity  of  her  peoon,  and 
WM  a  perfect  bcuuty,  according  ii> 
Africau  UDlions,  became  desperately 
enamoured  of  Mr.  Landeri  and  on  liii 
rejecting  her  ardent  suit,  ihe  made 
overiurei  lo  his  ma*ler  —  a  circiim- 
itanee  which  Involved  the  panics  in 
some  troubles  with  the  reigning  sove- 
reign, who  was  extremely  jealous  lest 
such  ia  alliance  might  endanger  his 
throne!  Mr.  Lander's  description  of 
this  sable  Venus  ii  Iruly  amusing. 
"Poor  widow  Zuma,  (he  edclaims)  I

The  people  took  all  this  patiently, 
and  80  did  the  English  with  regard  to 
Catharine ;  bat  did  they  do  so  in  the 
aflfairof  the  late  Queen  Caroline,  where 
the  auestion  of  solvent  or  bankrtipt 
morality  was  far  more  deeply  impli* 
eated  ?  Bnt  in  ihoae  days,  **  fishing  in 
troubled  waters**  often  ended  in  drown- 
ing; and  now  such  fishers  can  swira^ 
nor  is  it  any  other  than  real  benefit  to 
society  that  the  people  should  be  able 
to  value  and  exhibit  moral  feelings,  for 
upon  these  depend  happiness  and  the 
well-being  of  families. 

Wolsey's  ejaculation— <'  If  I  had 
served  my  God  as  faithfully  as  I  have 
done  my  kin|;/*  &c.  has  been  much 
admired,  aiKl  is  an  ejaculation  very  just 
for  the  cat*s-paw  of  a  sovereign,  who 
was  a  despot  and  a  voluptuary,  and 
never  exercised  pity  but  from  indif- 
i^encf,  nor  practised  Justice  but  from 
self-interest.  The  Marechal  de  Gr^ 
had  offended  the  Queen  of  Louis  XI. ; 
and  upon  his  trial,  when  the  Countess 
of  Angouleme,  to  whose  hand  he  had 
once  aspired,  gave  rancorous  evidence 
against  him,  he  said  to  her : 

*'  ff  I  had  tUwaus  served  God  at  2  have 
terved  you.  Madam,  f  thonJd  not  have  a  great 
aocount  to  vender  at  mj  death."  i.  46. 

People,  in  those  days,  valued  most 
highly  the  sovereigns  who  did  not  tax 
them,  and  kept  down  the  nobles. 
Elizabeih  has  nad  the  credit  of  origi- 
nality ffiven  to  her  for  this  policy,  but 
we  find  that  she  was  only  a  copyist  of 
Louis  XL 

<<  Louisy  who,  at  the  commencement  of 
this  expedition,  bad  been  obliged  to  impose 
some  addittODal  taxes*  no  sooner  foond  that 
he  bad  terminated  the  enterprise  without 
coets,  than  he  ordered  the  collection  to 
cease ;  a  proceeding  which  exposed  him  to 
the  ridicule  of  some  of  his  unthinking  cour- 
tiers, bat  formed  an  additional  claim  to  the 
affection  of  the  people,  who  had  given  him 
the  appellation  of  father.*'   i.  6*9. 

The  King  was  ridiculed  for  this 
avarice  in  a  urce ;  but  he  replied : 

*'  I  had  rather  my  courtiers  should  laugh 
at  my  avarice,  than  that  my  people  should 
weep  at  my  profusion."    L  62, 

The  manoeuvre  of  infantry  lying 
down  to  avoid  shot,  is  not  new.  At  the 
battle  of  Ravenna,  in  1512,  a  body  of 
Spanish  infantry  did  so ;  but  the  French 
brought  guns  to  bear  upon  them 
from  an  e^vation,  and  with  the  aid  of 


arthery  so  galled  them,  that  they  rose, 
and  could  not  be  withheld  from  rush- 
ing into  action,    i.  84. 

«  Louis,"  says  Mr.  Bacon  (i.  118)  «  set 
an  example  of  dignified  morality  and  exalted 
virtue,  which  made  hu  court  one  of  the 
purest  in  the  whole  world." 

But  this  eminence  of  virtue,  and  its 
consequent  public  influence,  could  not 
secure  him  from  the  intrusion  of 
'*  foxes  who  preach  to  poultry,"  and 
well  know  their  advantage,  when  they 
can  lay  hold  of  a  weak  mind.  He  had 
married  Anne  of  Brittany  for  love,  and 
no  man  is  a  sincere  lover  who  does  not 
act  weakly  in  consequence.  Louis  suf- 
fered much  disquiet,  because  "  the  in- 
triguing of  the  emissaries  of  the  Pope 
induced  his  Queen  to  think  that  her 
husband  had  placed  his  toul  in  jeopardy 
by  engaging  in  a  war  with  the  hc^  of 
the  church."    i.  1 10. 

Everv  bodv  recollects  the  famous 
reply  of  the  French  guard  at  Waterloo 
—that  they  died — but  never  surren- 
dered. After  the  battle  of  Marignon, 
certain  Switzers,  who  were  summoned 
to  surrender,  replied,  '*  that  their  ene- 
mies knew  that  they  were  always  pre- 
pared to  die,  but  never  surrendered.*' 
They  perished  to  a  man :  but  of  the 
vieilles  mousiackes  those  only  who 
could  not  help  it;  for  when  a  man

Sham  wooden  cannon  arc  exhibited 
in  the  Tower,  as  having  been  invented 
in  stratagem.  At  the  marriage  of  Lo- 
renzo de  Medici  with  Madeleine  de 
Boulogne,  in  15 IS,  a  wooden  fort  was 
erected.  It  contained  artillery,  con- 
sisting of  large  wooden  cannon,  iron* 
hnop^,  which  discharged  balls  filled 
with  wind.    i.  201,202. 

James  I.  when  at  dinner,  used  to 
converse  with  bishops,  who  then  at- 
tended on  purpose.  The  same  custom 
obtained  at  the  court  of  Francis  I.  He 
never  supped,  dined,  or  took  a  walk, 
without  the  society  of  men  of  learn- 
in^'*    i.  214,  215. 

The  Whilehoys  in  Ireland  are  said 
to  have  been  so  denominated  because, 
wanting  uniforms,  they  put  their  shirts 
over  their  clothes.  It  appears  that  a 
certain  attack  was  called  tne  Camiiude 
of  Rebec,  because  Pescara,  in  order  to 
enable  his  soldiers  to  distinguish  each 
other  in  the  dark,  had  made  them  put 
their  shirts  over  their  armour,    i.  440*

This  proportion  of  35  feet  seemi  to 
have  been  a  standard,  for  the  towers 
which  guarded  the  circuit  of  all  their 
walls,  were  of  the  same  cyclopean  mas- 
sinets.  The  construction  in  diminish-

that  the  towers  were  of  Babylonian

earlier  Cyclopean  styles,  but  of  that 
later  manner,  which  is  presamed  to 
have  snbsisted  between  the  times  of 
Epaminondas  and  Alexander ;  unless 
the  fashions,  prevalent  in  Egypt  and 
India,  are  not  comprised  in  the  usual 
classification  of  the  style  alluded  to. 

The  Palace  of  the  Kings  was  plainly 
of  Egyptian  character. 

"  It  was  •urrnunded  by  a  wall  35  feet 
high,  which  was  adorned  hy  towers  at  equal 
distancM,  and  by  spacious  barrack  rooms 
with  100  beds  in  each.  It  was  paved  with 
erery  variety  of  rare  marble  ;  timbers  of  un- 
eqnalled  lens[th  and  workmanship  sop|K)rted 
the  roofs.  The  chambers  were  countless, 
adorned  with  all  kinds  of  figures,  the  richest 
furniture,  and  vessels  of  gold  and  silver. 
There  were  numerous  cloisters  of  columns 
of  different  orders,  the  squares  within  of 
beautiful  verdure;  around  were  groves  and 
avenues,  with  fountains  and  tanks,  and 
bronze  statues  pouring  out  the  water.  There 
were  likewise  large  houses  for  tame  doves." 
P.  19. 

The  cloisters  and  general  fashion  are 
the  chief  things  which  show  that  this 
building  had  especially  an  Egyptian 
character.  The  "all  kmds  of  Bgures," 
in  the  chambers,  assimilate  the  hiero- 
glyphics on  the  walls  of  edifices  in  that 
country,  though  the  prohibition  of 
animal  representations  probably  caused 
the  figures,  as  in  coins,  to  be  of  the 
vegetable  world ;  or  more  probably  of 
knops,  open  flowers,  cherubims,  and 
palm  trees,  as  mentioned  in  the  Book 
of  Kings  (I  Kings,  c.  vi.  18,  29). 
Wainscotting,  deal  floors,  and  wooden 
ceilings,  are  also  particularized  in  the 
same  chapter ;  andf  we  know  that  there 
were,  in  the  middle  a(i;es,  rooms  floored, 
waintcottedt  and  ceiled  with  planks,  of 
which  one  still  exists  at  Lambeth. 

The  tower  of  Pseuhina  was  an 
octagon  (p.  18).  We  uo  not  recollect 
any  such  form  in  Egyptian,  Indian,  or 
Greek  work.  This  is  the  earliest  spe- 
cimen known  to  us.  The  fashion  does 
not  appear  before  the  Roman  sera,  in 
FosbroKe*s  Foreign  Topography  (see  p. 
35,  4g,  88,  &c.) 

Our  early  Castles,  in  the  frequent 
fashion  of  a  square  with  four  angular 
towers,  had  an  ancient  origin. 

*<  The  fortress  Antonia  stood  alone,  on  a 
high  and  precipitous  rock  near  niuety  feet 
high,  at  the  north-west  comer  of  the  tenoule. 
It  was  likewise  a  work  of  Herod.  The 
whole  face  of  the  rock  was  fronted  with 
SBMMih  stone  for  ornament,  and  to  make 
the  ascent  so  slippery  as  to  be  impenetrable ; 
waaA  the  top  of;  the  rock  titers  was  first  a 


low  wall,  rather  more  than  fttis  ftet  hich. 
The  fortreu  was  seventy  feet  in  heiglit. 
It  had  every  luxury  and  convenience  of  a 
sumptuous  palace,  or  even  of  a  city  {  spacious 
Italls,  courts,  and  baths.  It  appeared  like  a 
vast  square  tower,  with  four  otner  towers  at 
the  corners ;  three  of  them  between  eighty 
and  ninety  feet  high:  that  at  the  comer 
next  to  the  Temple  above  ISO.**    P.  1 9. 

Adjacent,  as  in  the  Greek  Acropolis, 
was  the  Temple,  and  from  hence,  in 
the  primary  origin,  arose  our  custom 
of  the  Church  near  the  castle  and 
manor-house.  The  larger  corner  tower 
was  the  archetype  of  oor  keep,  and  a 
dwarf  wall  round  the  summit  appears 
at  Launceston,  a  British  castle. 

Mr.  Wilkins,  in  his  Magna  Grecia, 
assimilates,  in  correction  of  previous 
error,  the  form  of  the  Temple  of  Solo- 
mon to  that  of  a  Greek  one. 

The  plan  before  us,  p.  20,  pro- 
nounced to  be  most  accordant  with 
the  descriptions,  has  a  commixture  of 
both  Egyptian  and  Grecian  forms.  If 
the  Porcn,  Holy  Place,  and  Holy  of 
Holies,  resemble  the  Ce//aof  the  Greek 
Temple  in  the  disposition  of  the  in- 
terior, the  sides  were  not  lined  exter- 
nally, as  here,  with  the  Priest's  cham- 
bers, but  with  columns  or  pseudo- 
columns;  nor  do  we  remember  in  any 
others  than  in  E^ptian  Temples,  a 
division  of  the  Hieron  into  so  many 
courts  and  cloisters.  The  fashion  of 
placing  the  houses  of  our  Prebendaries 
or  Canons  around  our  Cathedrals,  had 
however  its  evident  commencement  in 
the  ancient  lodgings  of  the  Priests 
around  the  Temples. 

The  author  rMr.  Milman)  thinks  it 
probable,  that  tne  later  Jews  first  gene- 
rally adopted  their  commercial  habits 
in  Asia  Minor  and  Alexandria  (p. 
136);  but,  whenever  and  however  they 
acquired  these  habits,  to  them  preser- 
vation, and  such  well-being  as  un- 
happy circumstances  permitted,  have 
been  owing;  because  Kings  and  Nobles 
took  them  upon  these  accounts  under 
their  protectiou*.  Most  happily  does 
our  author  delineate  the  history  of  the 
Jews  in  the  middle  and  modern  ages. 

"  At  one  period,  the  history  of  the  Jews 
is  written,  as  it  were,  in  their  blood ;  they 
show  no  signs  of  life,  but  in  their  cries  M 
a^ony ;  they  only  appear  in  the  annals  of 
the  world,  to  be  o])presse(!,  robbed,  perse- 
cuted, and  massacred.  Yet  still  patient  and 
indefatigable,  they  pursue,  under  every  dis- 
advantage, the   steady  course  of  indnstry.

Rbvibw.-— Flaxinan*8  Leciuret  on  Sculpture, 


[Feb. 


Grecian  5cti/p/tire.— Science  must 
attain  a  certain  perfection  before  the 
arts  of  design  can  be  cultivated  with 
success,  and  this  progression  is  very 
distinctly  marked  in  Grecian  sculpture. 
Perspective  and   foreshortening  were 
yery  imperfect,  because  optics  were  so; 
and  it  was  not  until  Hippocrates,  De- 
mocritus,  &c.    made   anatomical   re- 
tearches,  that  Leontius,  the  contem- 
porary of  Phidias,  Brst  expressed  nerves 
and  veins.    The  geometrical  improve- 
ments of  Pjfihagoras,  Thales,  and  Eu- 
clid, increased  the  knowledge  of  circu- 
lar and  triangular  power,  and  relations, 
a  knowledge  indispensable  to  perfectly 
understanding  the  curvilinear  motion 
of  animal  bodies  in  different  directions, 
and  to  ascertain  its  Quantity  and  direc- 
tion in  the  limbs. — Poetry,  philosophy, 
and  mythology,  further  influenced  the 
art.     When  tne  6sures  of  deities  were 
ordinary   and    barbarous,   symbols  or 
wings  (to  show   that   they  were  not 
men)  distinsotshed    them.     Homer's 
verses  caused  Jupiter  and  Neptune  to 
be  represented   with   beards ;  and   as 
the  arts  improved,  the  distingnishing 
personal    characteristics    were  added. 
Mercury  obtained  a  youthful   figure, 
from  his  patronase  of  gymnastic  exer- 
cises, and  Hercules  his  extraordinary 
muscular  strength,  probably  from  the 
descriptions  of  the  Greek  tragedians. 
The  winged  genii  on  the  painted  vases 
were  introduced  from  the  Pythagorean 
"philosophy,  and  female  divinities  be- 
came lovely  and  gracious  in  the  time 
of  Pinto. 

Daedalus  is  the  earliest  sculptor  men- 
tioned, at  least  of  any  note.  He  mea- 
sured the  proportions  of  the  Egypt ian 
statues  (which  are  seven  heads  and  one 
third  high),  and  in  the  British  Mu- 
seum are  small  bronzes,  supposed,  wiih 
great  reason,  to  be  copies  of  the  naked 
Hercules  of  Daedalus.  They  have  the 
high  shoulders,  stiflf  attitudes,  and  slim 
forms  of  the  Egyptian  style.  There  is 
reason  to  think  that  improvement  in 
painting  preceded  that  in  sculpture, 
because  oblique  views  of  objects,  and 
the  veins  of  the  body  and  limbs,  seem 
not  to  have  been  attempted  in  sculp- 
ture before  the  time  of  Phidias,  eight 
hundred  years  after  that  of  Daedalus. 

Wc  shall  now  make  an  extract  from 
the  book,  in  detail,  to  show  certain 
gradations  or  processes,  by  which  the 
Greeks  attained  such  wonderful  excel- 
lence: 

**Paniphilos,    the   Mscadonian   pointer. 


under  whom  Apellet  studitd  tea  yaarty  waa 
learned  in  all  liteiatare,  partienkrly  arith- 
metio  and  geometry,  witboot  which  ha  de- 
clared art  could  not  be  perfected. 

*<  How  geometry  and  arithmetic  ware  ap* 
plied  to  the  study  of  the  human  6giire,  Vi* 
truviui  iuforms  ut,  from  the  writings  of  the 
Greek  artista*  perhaps  from  those  of  Paas- 
philus  hirotclf.  A  man  (says  he)  may  be 
•o  placed  with  his  arms  and  legs  extended* 
that  his  navel  being  made  the  centre,  a  cir- 
cle can  be  drawn  round  tonchlng  the  ex* 
tremitiet  of  hit  fingers  and  toes. 

<*  In  the  like  manner  a  man  standing  np- 
right,  with  his  arms  extended,  k  indoaed 
in  a  square,  the  extreme  extent  of  his  arma 
being  equal  to  his  height. 

**  How  well  the  ancients  understood  the 
nature  of  balance,  is  proved  by  the  two 
books  of  Archimedes  on  that  snoject ;  be- 
sides, it  is  iropowible  to  aee  the  numerona 
fieures  tpriogini;.  Jumping,  dancing,  and 
Ruling,  in  the  Herculaneum  naintii^»  on 
the  painted  vases,  and  the  antique  basso  re- 
lievos, without  being  assured  that  the  paint- 
ers and  cculpton  muf  t  have  employed  geo- 
metrical figures  to  determine  the  degreea  of 
curvature  in  the  l>ody,  and  angular  or  recti- 
linear extent  of  the  limbs,  and  to  6x  the 
centre  of  gravity.*'     pp.  195,  186. 

We  shall  not  copy  Mr.  Flaxman'a 
rules  in   p.  126,  for  determining  the 
centre  of  gravity  or  gravitation  of  the 
human   figure,  in    standing,   motion, 
&c.    nor    his    technical   delineations* 
though  to  profession ists  eminently  use- 
ful.   Taste  is  not  an  intuitive  acquisi- 
tion.    No  barbarian  could  devise  a  sa« 
perior  thing  to  the  Parthenon  or  Bel- 
videre  Apollo.     But  a  master  of  all 
the  processes  of  an  art  has  nothing  me- 
chanical further  to  learn,  and  improve- 
ment grows  out  of  practice*  ancl  taste 
out    of    improvement.     Grandeur  of 
sentiment  may  ^row  out  of  heroism* 
heroism  out  of  situation  ;  and  the  for- 
mer out  of  imagination  in  a  poet,  but 
he  is  obliged  first  to  invent  diflBcult 
situation.      But    imagination*    where 
the  exhibition  of  it  is  dependent  upon 
artificial  skill,  is  only  the  conception 
of  an  oration  in  the  mind  of  a  aumb 
man.     In  music,  painting,  and  sculp- 
ture, practice  is  the  process  of  gestation 
necessary  to  the  birth  of  genius;  and 
if  an  all-perfect  offspring  ensue,  it  re- 
duces all  future  professors  to  the  hum- 
ble rank  of  imitators  only  :  e.  s.  it  is 
said  by  Hume,  that  Sir  Isaac  Newton 
has  stopped  all  further  advancement  in 
mathematics.    The  same  may  be  said 
of  Greek  sculpture,     it  cannot  be  ii9« 
proved,  and   *<  Vemnui  du  beau**  only

RBViBw.-^-CunniDghMn'i  Livet  of  Briltth  AriUtt.        [Feb. 


and  the  tecond  on  the  subject  od 
which  it  treats.  It  contains  the  lives 
of  West,  Bany.  Blake,  Opie,  Morland, 
Bird,  and  Fuseli,  written  in  that  lively 
and  agreeable  style  in  which  Mr.  Cun- 
ningham excels.  With  a  fine  feeling 
for  art,  and  with  a  moral  sense  in  its 
healthiest  exercise,  the  author,  with 
admirable  tact,  steers  clear  of  those 
apologies  for  the  degrading  aberrations 
of  men  of  genius  and  talent,  by  which 
pure  biography  has  been  su  much  dis- 
figured. He  knows  how  to  separate 
the  artist  from  the  man;  and  while, 
as  in  Morlandy  he  praises  the  painter 
with  the  nicest  discrimination  of  his 
great  and  unrivalled  beauties,  he  shows, 
by  infeiences  drawn  from  the  profli- 

gate  habits  of  the  drunkard  and  de- 
auchee,  how  the  loftiest  talenu  are 
debased  and  neuiiralized  by  the  folly 
and  grossness  of  his  life. 

The  life  of  fFe«/,  which  commences 
the  volume,  is  undisturbed  by  any  of 
those  associations  of  which  we  have 
spoken.  He  rose  gradually,  and  with^ 
much  of  royal  patronage,  and  an  e%*en* 
course  of  ouiei  and  not  undignified 
conduct  and  demeanour,  to  the  high 
station  of  President  of  the  Royal 
Academy.  We  fully  coincide  with 
Mr.  Cunningham  in  his  estimate  of 
West's  talents  as  a  painter.  His  cri- 
ticism is  as  sound  as  it  is  beautifully 
expressed : 

**  Hit  figures  seemed  dittended  over  the 
caovaM  by  line  and  roeMure,  like  treet  in  a 
plantation.  He  wanted  fire  and  imagination 
to  be  the  true  rett«>rer  of  that  grand  ttjie 
which  bewildered  Harry^  and  was  talked  of 
by  Rejnolds.  Mmt  of  hit  wurlu,  cold, 
formal,  bloodlew,  and  paationlesi,  may  re- 
mind the  spectator  of  the  lublime  viiiun  of 
the  Vallej  of  dry  Bones,  where  the  flesh  and 
skin  had  come  upon  the  skeletons,  and  t>efore 
the  breath  of  God  had  informed  them  with 
life  and  feeling." 

The  following  anecdote  is  a  curious 
account  of  West's  first  school  of  paint- 
ing: 

**  When  he  was  some  eight  years  old,  a 
party  of  roaming  Indians  paid  their  summer 
visit  to  Springneld,  and  were  miuh  pleased 
with  the  rude  sketches  which  the  boy  had 
made  of  birds,  and  fruits,  and  flowers,  for  in 
such  drawings  many  of  the  wild  Americans 
have  both  taste  aad  skill.  They  showed  him 
some  of  their  own  woikmanshiu,  and  taup;hs 
him  bow  to  prepare  the  red  and  yellow 
oolourt  with  which  they  stained  their  wea- 
}iooa}  io  thasa  his  mother  added  indi^ro, 
attd  thus  ha  was  possettad  of  the  three 
0nmuj  tfolourt.    The  Indians,  unwilling  to 


leave  sveh  a  boy  in  ignoranea  of  their  othetr 
acqoiiementa,  taogbt  hhn  aiehtry,  in  vfaiek 
-he  kieGaae  expert  enough  to  sboolpefiractory 
birds,  which  refused  to  oonie  on  milder  terms 
fur  their  likaoesees.  Tlie  fiitore  President 
of  the  British  Academy,  taking  lessons  in 
painting  and  in  arcliery,  from  a  trilie  of 
Cherokees,  might  be  a  aal>ieot  worthy  of  the 
pencil.'* 

The  life  of  Barry  is  pregnant  with 
materials  for  sad  and  solemn  medita- 
tion. With  a  fondness  for  his  art  but 
faintly  expressed  by  the  word  enthu- 
siasm, the  infirmity  of  his  temper  de- 
feated his  highest  aspirations ;  and  he 
who,  but  with  common  prudence  and 
a  manly  compliance  witli  established 
customs,  might  have  done  more  for 
himself  and  his  art  than  almost  any 
other  painter  of  the  last  century,  lived 
in  sullen  penury,  and  is  now  almost 
forgotten.  Mr.  Cunningham  has  se- 
lected with  much  judtfmenl  from  the 
previous  biographers  of  this  intemperate 
man,  and  has  arranged  his  materials 
wiih  skill. 

Of  Blake,  the  visionary,  %ve  hardly 
know  how  to  speak :  he  appears  to 
have  been  an  amiable  enthusiast,  on 
the  wrong  side  of  the  line  of  demarca- 
tion as  it  respected  his  sanity.  *'  His 
fancy  overmastered  him/'  says  Mr.C. 
until  he  at  length  confounded  '*  the 
tnind's  eye"  with  the  corporeal  organ, 
and  dreamed  himself  out  of  the  sym- 
pathies of  actual  life.  The  following 
absurdity  is  recorded  of  him  ;  and  his 
friend,  Mr.  Varley,  has  authenticated 
the  story  by  giving  an  eneraving  of  the 
"  S/tiriiualitaiion,'*  in  his  equally  ab- 
surd volume  on  *'  Astrological  FiiysU 
ognomy." 

*'  He  closed  the  book,  and  taking  out  a 
small  panel  from  a  private  drawer,  said,  '  this 
is  the  last  which  I  shall  show  jtnx :  but  it  is 
the  greatest  curiosity  of  all.  Only  look  at 
the  splendour  of  the  colouring  and  the 
original  character  of  the  thing !  *  <  I  see,' 
said  I>  '  a  naked  figure  with  a  strong  IkhIt 
and  a  short  neck  ;  with  burning  eyea  whicn 
long  for  moisture,  and  a  f«ce  worthy  of  a 
murderer,  holding  a  bloody  cup  in  its  clawed 
hands,  out  of  which  it  seems  eager  to  drink. 
I  never  saw  any  shape  so  strange,  nor  did  I 
ever  see  any  colouring  su  curiously  splendid 
— a  kind  of  glistening  green  and  dusky  goldy 
beautifully  vamislied.  But  what  in  the  world 
is  it  ?'  *  It  is  a  ghost,  Sir — the  ghost  of  a 
flea — a  spiritualizatiou  of  the  thine  !*  *  He 
saw  this  in  a  vision,  then,'  I  said.  *  I  'U 
tell  you  all  about  it,  Sir.  I  called  on  him 
one  evening,  and  found  Blake  more  than 
usually  excited.  He  ti>ld  me  bad  seen  a 
wonderful  thing — tlie  ghost  of  a  ilea.'  '  And

THREE  years  have  expired  since 
we  passed  over  the  decapitating  quarter 
6rix)ndon ; — visions  oHteadless  trunks 
flitted  before  our  eyes,  and  we  instinc- 
tively put  our  hands  to  our  chins  to 
tc^\  it  al!  was  safe.  The  fortress,  too 
—once  it  was  the  man  in  armour  in 
Lord  Mayor's  show^-once  with  its  un- 
encumbered circuit  of  walls  and  towers, 
and  noble  keep,  it  had  the  aspect  of  a 
real  castle*,  as  grand  as  Caernorvon  or 
Conway,  as  superb  and  picturesque  an 
ornament  to  the  eastern  end  of  the  me- 
tropolis, as  the  Abbey  is  to  the  western. 
So  it  might  have  remained  uithoot 
impairing  its  utility,  had  there  been  a 
tattefol  and  *  consistent  disposition  of 
the  interior.  Oh !  that  another  Samp- 
son wouljd  arise,  and  carry  off  alt  the 
modern  incongruities  on  his  shoulders, 
like  the  gates  of  Gaza,  provided  he 
first  put  the  records  in  his  pocket. 

We  have  gone  amply  into  the  sub- 
ject of  this  memorable  fortress,  in  our 
notices  of  Mr.  Baylev*s  original  His- 
tory, and  Messrs.  Allen  and  Bray  lev's 
respective  accounts  of  London.  We 
continue  to  believe,  that  it  was  ortgi* 
nally  a  British  fortress  of  succeeding 
Roman  occupation,  and  retained  by 
the  subsequent  Sovereigns  of  this  realm, 
as  a  citaael,  to  which  they  might  fly 
for  refuge,  and  by  which  they  might 
overawe  I  he  intractable  Londoners. 
It  is  true  that  there  is  an  hiatus  in  oart 
of  the  historical  evidence  of  these  facts 
during  a  certain  period  ;  but  it  is  a 
rule  in  evidence,  that  where  written 
documents  do  not  exist,  usage  is  to  be 
received  ;  and  as  Fitz  Stephen,  in  the 
time  of  Henry  II.  calls  it  -  Arx  Pala- 
tina,"  so  we  would  not  aflirm  that 
there  had  not  been  a  Roman  castle 
here,  like  that  of  Colchester ;  for  be- 
sides the  ingot  of  Honorius  discovered, 
and  the  adjacent  Roman  wall,  it  is 
known  that  Cold-harbour  is  a  term  in- 
dicative of  Roman  stations.  Now  there 
was  a  place  called  Cohherhorotce,  near 
the  White  Tower  (p.  322).  And  on 
the  south  side  of  the  latter,  have  been 

*  See  AggM't  View  of  London,  temp, 
Eliz. 


excavated    old    foundations   of  stone 
three  yards  wide. 

"  The  noD*existence  of  such  a  structure 
[mj  our  Buthort},  after  the  cstincUon  of 
the  imperial  power  in  priuin,  maj  be  pre- 
sumed from  the  tilenor  of  the  writer  of  the 
Saxon  Chronicle,  and  other  early  annalittay 
who,  although  they  make  frequent  allution 
to  t^  City,  Port,  and  Walls  of  London, 
during  the  wan  of  the  Danes  and  Saxoni, 
do  not  mention  the  Tower,  or  any  Ibrtrett 
ia  that  lituatioD,  previout  to  the  time  of 
the  Norman  Invasion/*     P.  8. 

Now  this  cannot  be  admitted ;  for 
the  Saxon  Chronicle  says,  that  in  the 
year  886,  s^fette  ^Ippeb  cynin^ 
Lokiben-bun^,  i.  e.  King  Alfred  re- 
stored Lundenburg ;  and  Bxed  a  gar- 
rison there.  Castles,  among  the  Anglo- 
Saxons,  were  called  burgs,  not  castlea 
or  towers.  Whoever  consults  the 
Chronicle,  will  find  that  between  the 
years  ^12,  and  915,  nine  castles  are 
mentioned,  and  that  they  arc  all  called 
hurgi  or  hurhs.  Indeed,  the  Latinism 
castle  was  not  uted  by  them ;  at  least, 
not  in  the  Bras  alluded  to.  If  it  be 
said  that  hurgk  or  lurh,  merely  implied 
a  walled  town,  we  reply,  that  we 
never  heard  of  any  such  town  without 
a  castle;  and  that  here  the  Roman 
wall  ioined  on  to  the  Tower,  which 
completed  the  communication  with 
the  river.  Our  authors  seem  to  have 
understood  the  word  burgh,  in  its  mo- 
dern sense  of  borough,  that  is«  a  cor* 
porate  town,  not  in  that  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxons.  We  now  give  a  curious  in- 
stance of  their  distinction  of  Lunden^ 
burgh,  from  Lunden  (without  burgh), 
though  the  same  town. 

Lundenbyrig  ^r  Lundenburghg  oc- 
curs under  the  years  467,  861,  872» 
886,  894,  896,  912,  992,  g^,  in  con. 
nection  with  military  matters,  almost 
exclusively,  but  there  are  one  or  two 
instances  of  a  civil  application. 

In  the  year  1012,  a  parliament  is 
said  to  have  been  holden  at  Lunden- 
byrig,aUeT  which  Lunden  only  appears 
to  have  been  used. 

Lunden,  down  to  the  years  839,  >* 
limited  to  Ecclesiastical  concerns ;  but 
in  that  year,  and  883,  and  1013,  there 
are  exceptions  connected  with  the  mi- 
litary history ;  nevertheless,  the  eccle- 
siastical application  occurs  again  in  the 
years  898,  957,  and  96 1. 

In  the  year  IOO9,  fa  buph  Lunbene 
appears. 

In  short,  we  think  that  the  Tower 
was  included  with  the  walls  of  the 


new. — Metnoiri  i

LeUers  and  Journals  tf  Lard  Byron,  with 
notices  rf  his  Life.    By  Thomss  Moore. 
9  vols.  4to.    Mumj. 
SUCH  is  the  modest  title  given  to 
these  volumes,  accompanied  by  a  pre- 
face in  the  same  spirit;  and  indeed, 
throughout  the  work,  there  is  a  careful 
and  an  almost  oversiudious  design  of 
keeping   down    the    bioj^rapher,   and 
elevating  the  subject.    The  book  is  an 
enteruining  one,  abounding  in  anec- 
dote, and  tor  the  first  time  the  noble 
bard  is  fairly  arraigned  at  the  bar  of 
public  opinion.     When  we  wy  fairly, 
we  would  not  be  understood  as  speak- 
ing of  the  impartiality  of  the  advocate, 
for  there  is  neither  vice  nor  failing 
which   Mr.  Moore  does  not  refer  to 
some   extenuating   circumstance,  but 
oat  of  his  own  mouth,  as  it  were,  the 
character  of  Lord  Byron  may  now  be 
estimated,  and  we  can  now  speak  of 
him  from  "  his  own  showing.*' 

It  is  not  our  intention  to  add  an- 
other to  the  many  dissertations  that 
have  been  written  on  the  moral  and 
poetical  character  of  thjs  celebrated 
man.     Well  has  it  been  said, 

**  thftt  all  (ha  pious  duties  which  we  owe 
Ouf  parents,  friends,  oar  couotnr,  and  our 

God, 
Tha  seeds  of  avtry  virtos  here  below 
From  discipline  alone,    and  early  culture 

grow." 

This  moral  discipline,  this  early  cut- 
tare.  Lord  Byron  never  knew.  His 
first  years  were  without  that  firm  yet 
gentle  guidance  which  might  but  have 
restrained  his  sullen  and  passionate 
temper,  a  temper  indulged  until  it  be- 
came his  master— -and,  borrowing  a 
Khrase  from  his  classical  recollections, 
e  is  perpetually  complaining  of"  eat- 
ing his  own  heart.**  His  warfare  was 
against  established  customs  and  opi- 
nions ;  there  was  nothing  too  sacred 
for  the  exercise  of  his  sarcasm ;  morals 
and  religion,  man's  honour,  and  wo« 
man*s  delicacy,  were  perpetually  the 
butt  of  his  wit  or  his  humour.  His 
splendid  taJents  were  prostituted  to  the 
worst  purposes,  and  the  most  demo- 
Tilixing  opinions  were  supported  by 
the  worst  example.  If  tried  by  the 
ilindard  of  reason  or  relision,  his 
career  must  be  prononnced  to  have 
been  one  reckless  profligacy ;  and  the 


greater  his  sins  against  decency  and 
decorum,  the  more  pointed  were  his 
attempts  to  make  decorum  and  decency 
ridiculous. 

The  *'  tool  of  ihe  matter  was  within  ** 
—he  hated  Religion  because  she  de- 
nounced his  vices— he  was  an  infidel, 
but  it  was  the  "  unbelief  of  an  evil 
heart,'*  not  of  an  inquiring  mind.    His 
poetry,  with  ail  its  beauty,  might  well 
be  spared,  if  we  could  so  remove  the 
mischief  it  has  effected,  and  we  are 
now  unhappily  to  lament  another  of- 
fence to  morals,  b^  this  elaborate  expo- 
sure of  his  most  irreligious  life.     We 
will  not  shrink  from  this  avowal  of  our 
honest  and  deliberate  opinion.    W*ith 
all    the    kindheartedness  which  Mr. 
Moore  has  brought  to  his  labour,  and 
with  all  that  cunning  web  of  sophistry 
by  which  he  has  sought  to  hide  Lord 
Byron's  vices,  still  the  author  of  Childc 
Harold's  own  handwriting  is  against 
him.    Manj  of  hia  letters  are  the  re- 
cords of  opinions  and  parsaits  deroga- 
tory alike  to  his  birth,  his  station,  and 
his  talents.    It  is  worse  than  idle— it 
is  wicked  to  cry  "  peace  whore  there 
is  no  peace."    The  charitv  for  which 
Mr.  Moore  contends,  ougnt  never  to 
be  employed  in   making  the  **  worse 
appear  the  better.'*    Our  hope  is,  that 
the  God  whom  he  denied,  and  the  re- 
ligion he  despised,  may  have  reached 
his  heart  before  he  exchanged  time  for 
eternity.    This  is  our  charity,  and  if 
our  hope  were  realized,  then  woold 
this  volume  be  an  offence  to  his  me- 
mory, and  nothing  but  a  merceiMiry 
feeling  could  have  induced  its  publica- 
tion, at  least  in  this  shape.    Yet  out  of 
the  jarring  elements  of  which  it  is 
composed,  there  is  much  to  excite  our 
interest  and  our  admiration.    As  the 
poet  said  of  his  own  Corsair,  "  all  it 
not  evil**— and  after  delivering  our  ge* 
neral  opinion,  in  which  we  feel  ouf- 
selves  borne  out  by  the  contents  of  the 
volume,   we  will   not  return  to  this 
part  of  our  subject,  but  content  our- 
selves with  passages  which  may  be  ex- 
tracted without  onence,  and  comment- 
ed on  without  pin. 

Respecting  the  childhood  of  Lord 
Byron,  Mr.  Moore  has  been  more  than 
sufficiently  minute  in  his  researches. 
The  anecdotes  recorded  of  him  during 
his  probation  in  Scotland,  are  no  other- 
wise interesting  than  as  partaking  in  a 
dmee  of  that  mixture  of  wilfulness 
and  generosity  which  characterised  his 
after-life.    The  title  descended  to  him

The  noiicf)  of  Lord  Byron  at  ihi* 
period  me  animated  and  iolcrcsling, 
bill  are  more  so  perhaps  when  read 
with  reference  tn  what  he  afterward* 
became,  than  as  varying  (with  ihe  ex- 
ception of  his  poelry)  from  the  life  of 
any  oiher  man  of  fasiiion.  He  affected 
an  indifference  lo  his  volume,  which 
he  did  noi  feel  —  nnd  he  evidently 
and  naturally  relished  the  encomiiimi 
which  private  friendship  and  profes- 
sional criticism  bestowed  upon  bli 
poetry.

Rbvibw.— Moore's  Life  of  Lord  Bfron. 


tFd>. 


ihat  I  long  for  an  opportnnity  to  give  the 
Ke  to  the  verie  that  follows.  If  I  were  not 
perfectly  coDvinccd  that  any  thing  I  may 
naTe  formerly  uttered  in  the  boyish  raah- 
neet  of  my  misplaced  resentment  had  made 
as  little  impression  as  it  deserved  to  roake^ 
I  should  hardW  have  the  oonfideooc — per- 
haps your  Lordship  may  give  it  a  stronger 
and  more  appropriate  appellation — ^to  send 
you  a  quarto  of  the  same  scribbler.  Bat 
your  Lordship,  I  am  sorry  to  observe  to* 
day,  is  troubled  with  the  gout :  if  my  book 
can  produce  a  laugh  against  itself  or  the 
author,  it  will  be  of  some  service.  If  it  can 
set  you  to  sleep,  the  benefit  will  be  yet 
greater;  and  as  some  &cetious  personage 
observed  half  a  century  ago,  that  <  poetry  is 
a  mere  drug,'  I  ofier  yon  mine  as  an  humble 
assistant  to  the  *  eau  nUdeemale.*  I  trust 
you  will  forgive  this  and  all  my  other  buf- 
fooneries, and  believe  me  to  be,  with  great 
respect,  your  Lordship's  obliged  and  smcere 
aervant,  Byron." 

The  public  adolation  which  follow- 
ed this  poem  did  not  tend  to  improve 
his  character ;  he  was  proud  and  re- 
8er\'ed;  he  had  drawn  his  poetical  por- 
trait as  that  of  one  of  melancholy  and 
sadness,  and  he  appears  to  have  worn 
such  an  appearance  iu  vindication  of 
his  consistency.  To  those  behind  the 
scenes,  his  manners,  on  the  contrary, 
are  represented  as  frank,  social,  and 
ensaging.  There  was  too  much  of 
this  masquerading  for  a  strong  or  ho« 
nourable  mind  to  have  practised ;  it 
was  a  species  of  hypocrisy  too  that  flat- 
tered hu  pride,  ana  amused  his  vanity. 
During  the  three  following  years»  his 
poetry  was  poured  out  in  rich  profu- 
sion of  talent ;— but  we  have  no  space 
to  particularise. 

His  marriage  and  the  unfortunate 
circumstances  that  succeeded,  are 
treated  bv  Mr.  Moore  with  great  deli- 
cacy, anci  in  a  way  which  scarcely  an v 
other  pen  could  have  managed  so  well. 

In  a  letter  to  Mr.  Moore,  Lord  By- 
ron thus  expresses  himself  on  the  sub- 
ject of  his  separation,  an  avowal  ho- 
nourable to  his  candour  and  to  the 
character  of  Lady  Byron : 

'<  I  must  set  you  right  in  one  point,  how- 
ever i  the  &ult  was  not,  no,  nor  even  the 
misfortune  in  my  choice,  unless  in  choosing 
at  all }  for  I  do  not  believe,  and  I  must  say 
it  in  the  very  dregs  of  all  this  bitter  busi- 
ness, that  there  ever  was  a  better  or  even  a 
brighter,  a  kinder,  or  a  more  amiable  and 
agreeable  being  than  Lady  B.  I  never  had 
■or  can  have  any  reproach  to  make  her 
whila  with  ne.  Where  there  is  blame  it 
belongs  to  myself,  and  if  I  cannot  redeem, 
iMTUariu" 


A  parting  word,  and  we  have  dorre. 
We  should  deem  it  little  less  than  blas« 
phemy  to  be  told,  that  if  l>ord  Byron 
had  been  a  better  man,  he  would  have 
been  a  worse  poet.  What  he  mieht 
have  been,  had  he  drank  of  that  living 
fountain  which  would  have  healed  his 
sorrows  and  purified  hn  ioiellect,  it 
were  now  in  vain  to  inquire.  The 
followins  thought  of  a  writer  less 
known  tnan  he  deserves  to  be,  tells  us 
in  language  as  elegant  as  the  sentiment 
is  just,  how  a  taste  for  the  beauties  of 
the  natural  world  with  which  the 
poetry  of  Lord  Byron  is  rife,  is  quick- 
ened»  improved,  and  elevated  by  reli- 
gious feeling : 

"  The  sun  may  beantify  the  faee  of  na- 
ture, the  planets  may  roll  in  majestic  order 
through  the  immensity  of  space,  spring 
may  spread.her  blossoms,  summer  may  ripen 
her  fruits,  autumn  may  call  to  the  banquety 
the  senses  are  regaled ;  but  in  the  heart  that 
is  not  purified  by  religious  senttnwnts,  there 
is  no  perception  of  spiritual  beauty,  no  move* 
meat  of  spiritual  delight,  no  reference  to 
that  Hand  which  is  scattering  around  tho 
means  of  enjoyment,  and  the  incentives  to 
praise.  But  let  the  heart  be  touched  with 
that  etherial  spark  which  is  elicited  by  the 
Word  of  God  and  the  promises  of  his  Son ; 
let  the  sinful  affections  be  removed,  and  the 
influence  of  a  devout  spirit  be  cherished; 
let  intelUcl  and  refUetum  become  the  kand^ 
maidi  of  Piety  i  tlien  we  shall  see  GUkI  itt 
all  that  is  great  and  beautiful  b  creation^ 
and  feel  him  in  all  that  is  cheerful  and 
happy  in  our  own  minds.*' 

The  volume  before  us  brings  the 
life  of  Lord  Byron  down  to  the  period 
of  his  final  depart sre  from  England. 
We  cannot  help  thinking  that  some- 
thing too  much  has  been  aflbrded; 
,  and  we  cannot  conceal  our  apprehen- 
sions that,  as  the  poetry  of  Lord  Byron 
produced  a  generation  of  sceptical  mi« 
santhropes,  so  the  details  of  his  fashion- 
able excesses  may  provoke  a  spirit  of 
imitation  in  the  t hough tless,  the  giddy, 
and  the  young.

THE  argument  of  Mr.  Goldsmid. 
for  the  emancipation  of  the  British 
Jews,  is  founded  on  an  investigation 
of  the  Statutes.  He  first  disposes  of 
the  objection  that  they  are  aliens, 
by  citing  very  competent  authorities 
against  that  doctrine,  and  then  proceeds 
to  an  czanuoatioo  of  the  various  Acts

The  fate  of  Llewellyn*t  brother  is 
tragical  indeed,  and  pathetically  nar- 
rated. Patting  from  thai  event  to  the 
incorporation  of  Wales  with  England, 
Mr.  Bransby  (as  an  Englishman,  who 
aeeros  to  have  adopted  Wales  as  his 
chosen  residence,)  monages  the  deli- 
cate subject  with  peculiar  address,  and 
by  uo  means  at  the  expetice  of  truth. 

<'To  vindicate  the  motives  which  led  to 
this  important  conquest,  and  the  meaoi  by 
which  it  was  achieved, — to  prove  that  it 
wae  founded  in  justice  or  in  necessitji  would 
perhaps  be  a  difficult  at  well  as  an  invidious 
and  unprofitable  task}  yet  who  can  doubt 
that  great  good  was  accomplished  by  it? 
who  will  deny  that  the  result  has  proved 
eminently  beneficial  ?  An  end  was  put  to 
the  sangubary  disputes  in  which  the  two 
nations  oad  Men  so  constantly  embroiled, 
the  oKve  of  peace  was  planted  on  the  moun- 
tain sidcy  and  both  the  victors  and  the  van- 
quished saw  that  it  waa  their  interest  no 
lets  than  their  duty  to  cherish  a  pacific  and 
friendly  diipotitioo  towardt  each  odier.  They 
became  one  people  {  enjoyed,  in  after  yeart, 
the  protection  of  the  tame  laws ;  and  have 
now  the  untpeakable  privilege  of  calling 
their  own  the  same  political  institutions — 
inttitutioni  not  turpatted  in  grandeur.  In 
beauty,  or  in  usefulness,  even  by  those 
which  adorn  the  fiibled  realms  of  Utopia  and 
Atlantis."  • 

But  as  conquest  over  such  a  people 
as  those  whom  Edward  had  subju- 
gated,— a  people  accustomed  to  diffi- 
culties, ana  fearless  of  dansers,— could 
not  be  achieved  without  leaving  a  la- 
tent, untamed  spirit,  ready  to  burst 
forth  and  cast  off  the  yoke,  unless 

*  **  Though  every  one  must  honour  the 
fisellng  which  leads  the  well-educated  Welsh- 
man to  look  with  affectionate  pride  upon 
hit  native  language,  and  to  be  anxious  for 
its  preservation,  yet  many  advantages  would 
arise  firom  its  ceasing  to  be  a  spoken  lan- 
guage. It  presents  a  serious  obstacle  to 
tne  intellectual  and  moral  improvement  of 
the  lower  classes.  They  have  not  the  means 
of  keeping  pace  with  their  fellow  subjects, 
or  of  being  emancipated  from  the  prejudices 
and  tuperetitious  inseparable  from  igno- 
imncei  which  imprest  upon  them  the  cha- 
racteristics of  a  distinct  and  teparate  tribe. 
Who  that  has  a  heart  in  hit  bosom  but 
waM  Njoice  to  tee  them  nnivertally  and 
fully  participating  in  the  blessings  which 
dM  improved  fbrmt  of  education  and  the 
of  teieaee  are  conferring  upon  the 
of  this  fit? oured  Und  ?  '* 


watched  and  overawed,— the  "  ruth- 
less king,*'  as  Gray  terms  him,  built, 
for  the  twofold  purpose  of  intimida- 
tion and  safety,  the  castles  of  Carnar- 
von, Conway,  and  Rhuddlan.  Of 
these,  Mr.  Bransby  justly  observes, 

"  Gunarvon  Castle  has  a  claim  to  pre- 
eminence, on  account  both  of  Its  original 
grandeur  and  of  the  place  which  it  occu- 
pies in  the  page  of  the  historian.  Its  sun, 
rormerlv  so  glorious,  is  set — the  pride  of  its 
strength  is  gone ;  but,  even  now,  amidst  the 
devastations  of  timci  it  It  imprettively  ma- 
jestic.— So  beautiful  a  ruin  mutt  ttrike  even 
the  idle  and  listless  apeotator,  while  no  man 
of  genuine  taste  can  approach  it  without  be- 
ing deeply  inurested.  There  b  spread  over 
it  a  certain  tranquil  gloom  which  it  fitvour- 
able  to  meditation  ; — a  tolemnity  which  ap- 
peals to  the  heart,  luggetting  pure  and  ele- 
vated thoughts,  and  teaching  the  most  sa- 
lutary lettons. — Most  of  our  princely  and 
baronial  structures,  now  crumbling  into  dott, 
are  composed  of  different  portions,  which 
exhibit  specimens  of  the  arenitecture  of  dif- 
ferent ages.  But  such  is  not  the  case  with 
the  huge  pile  at  Carnarvon  i  it  was  begun 
and  rendered  complete  by  Edward,  and  oat 
received  no  addiciont  from  any  of  itt  iubee- 
quent  poetestort." 

Many  of  the  notes  are  extremely  cu- 
rious, and  demonstrate  Mr.  Bransby  to 
have  a  discriminating  mind  and  a  kind 
heart. 

To  the  reasons,  specified  by  Mr.  B. 
in  a  note,  pp.  8,  g,  for  planting  yew- 
trees,  &c.  in  church-yards,  and  inter- 
dicting their  prostration,  might  he  not

chronicle.  We  may  goess  from  wliat 
it  published  how  much  the  editor  has 
found  it  necessary  to  omit. 

Indeed,  to  say  the  truth,  valuing  as 
we  do  records  such  as  these,  we  can 
well  dispense  with  much  that  most  of 
necessity  6nd  a  place  in  a  book  which 
IS  to  contain  an  account  of  what  any 
man  did  ercry  day  of  his  life.  It  is 
also  evident  that  it  is  due  to  the  dead, 
and  in  many  cases  due  to  the  living, 
that  every  thing  which  may  be  insert- 
ed in  Diaries  such  as  these,  should  not 
go  forth  to  the  world  to  minister  matter 
for  reproach,  or  for  the  comments  of 
ill  nature.  But  it  is  evident  that  he 
who  sets  out  upon  the  principle  of  re- 
cording every  day  what  he  did  and 
saw,  must  live  iu  very  unfavourable 
circumstances  indeed,  it  he  do  not  leave 
behind  him  a  work  from  which  much 
may  be  expected  that  will  amuse,  in- 
struct, and  inform. 

In  many  respects  the  situation  of 
Thoresby  was  favourable.  His  home 
was,  it  IS  true,  in  a  provincial  town, 
hut  it  was  then,  as  it  is  now,  a  town 
q(  great  resort,  and  the  fume  of  his 
museuoi  attracted  to  his  house  the  per- 
sons of  distinction  who  visited  the 
place,  and  especially  Artists,  Naturalists, 
and  Antiquaries.  But  Thoreshy  was 
fond  of  travelling.  His  Diary  contains 
more  instructive  notices  than  any  book 
with  which  we  are  acquainted,  of  the 
facilities  and  means  for  moving  from 
place  to  place  which  our  ancestors  pos- 
sessed, at  a  time  when  steam-carriages 
and  mail-coaches  were  alike  unknown ; 
«nd  when  on  these  journeys,  he  often 
admits  ns  to  the  acquaintance  of  per- 
sons more  eminent  than  those  whom 
he  saw  in  his  native  town.  He  fre- 
quently visited  London;  and,  while 
sojourning  there,  his  whole  time  was 
passed  among  the  Philosophers,  the 
Antiquaries,  and  the  more  eminent 
divines  of  the  time.  He  was  for  ever 
at  the  libraries  and  museums.  He 
omitted  no  opportunity  of  attending 
the  meetings  of  his  brethren  of  the 
Royal  Society  at  Gresham  College. 
And  he  sometimes,  as  when  he  relates 
the  conversation  which  he  held  with 
the  antiquarian  Earl  of  Pembroke  in 
that  nobleman*s  cabinet  of  medals, 
preserves  remarks  on  scientific  subjects, 
which  are  useful  and  important.^ 

^  Tl^ere  is  scarcely  an  Antiquary,  or  a 
distinguished  Naturalist  of  the  time, 
.with  whom  Thoresby  was  not  more 
flf  Jem  acqumnud ;  and  there  was  do 


one  with  whom  he  was  acquainted 
whose  name  does  not  appear  in  his 
Diary.  With  many  he  was  upon  terms 
of  close  intimacy.  Not  inferior  in  in- 
terest or  in  value  to  the  Diary,  are  the 
letters  which  accompany  it.  Among 
the  naturalists  whom  Thoresby  had  the 
honour  to  reckon  among  his  friends, 
and  whose  letters  are  found  in  the  cor- 
res|x>ndencc,  were  Lister,  Evelyn, 
Ray,  Woodward,  and  Sloane.  But 
the  band  of  Antiquaries  of  the  time 
whom  Thoresby  numbered  ampng  his 
friends,  and  whose  letters  grace  thii 
collection  of  original  correspondence, 
consists  of  the  distinguished  uamea  ot 
Nicolson,  Gibson,  the  Gales,  Smithy 
Lhwyd,  Hickes,  Strype,  Hearne,  and 
Baker. 

The  attention  of  Thoresby  was  not 
so  dissipated  over  the  wide  field  which 
his  curiosity  induced  him  to  explore, 
at  not  to  be  brought  to  settle  on  any 
particular  point.  In  fact,  there  were 
two  subjects  to  which  his  attention 
seems  to  have  been  more  narticularly 
directed,  and  which  served  as  points 
about  which  to  wind  the  information 
which  he  collected  in  his  reading,  in 
bis  journies,  and  by  the  conversation 
and  correspondence  of  his  friends.  A 
taunt  of  tne  Romanists  that  the  Eng- 
lish Protestants  had  not  encouraged 
virtue,  piety,  and  charity  as  their  fore- 
fathers had  done,  early  roused  a  spirit 
of  inquiry  into  the  justice  of  the  charge^ 
and  he  exulted  in  the  nomerons  list  of 
Protestant  benefactors  he  was  able  to 
collect :  he  was  ever  in  the  porsnit  of 
them,  and  wherever  he  found  them, 
he  not  only  held  them  in  high  esteem, 
but  he  transferred  to  his  paper  the  re* 
cord  of  their  liberal  deeds.  The  his- 
tory of  his  native  town,  Leeds  and  the 
district  surrounding  it,  the  Loidis  and 
the  Elmete  of  Bede,  was  another  point. 
The  Ducatus  contains  the  results,  but 
it  is  in  this  Diary  that  we  learn  how 
he  collected  the  information  which 
that  volume  contains.  We  see  some 
of  his  topographical  theories  in  their 
rudiments,  and  persoiis  interested  in 
these  inquiries  may  have  the  same  sra* 
tification  from  these  volumes  which  H 
afforded  by  the  sight  of  the  earlier  ef- 
forts of  the  artist  before  he  produces  a 
finished  engraving. 

This  subject,  however,  led  directly 
to  another.  The  field  df  his  topogra- 
phical inqniries  became  extended  be- 
yond its  original  limits.  The  whole  of 
the  great  oouaty  lay  befoce  bin  tbto

IT  has  b«en  somewhere,  and  wc 
tliink  with  great  truth,  observed,  that 
if  a  man  would  become  a  poet  he 
should  take  up  his  residence  in  a 
niountain-country  t  and  as  we  do  not 
mean  to  quote  this  remark  as  if  re- 
stricted to  writers  in  metre  only,  we 
may  assert  that  "  FitE  of  Fitz-Ford" 
win  form  a  striking  example  of  its 
truth.  Tliis  is  now  the  fourth  Ro-

assigned,  depending  on  the  circum- 
stances under  which  it  has  been  writ- 
ten, we  are  disposed  to  give  the  palm. 
Mrs.  Bray  is  evidently  a  keen  observer 
of  nature,  whether  in  the  varied  per- 
sonages, of  all  degrees,  "  who  strut  and 
fret  their  hour  on  the  stage  of  human 
life,**  or  in  the  scenery  of  that  magni- 
ficent theatre  in  which  they  act, 

''  —  the  forms  eternal  of  created  things, 
The  radiant  Sun,  the  Moon's  nocturnal  lamp. 
The  mountains,   woods,  and    streams,   the 

rolling  globe, 
'         the  green  earth,  the  wild  resounding 

waves. 
With  light  and  shade  alternate,  warmth  and 

cold. 
And  clear  autumnal  skies,  and  vernal  showers, 
And  all  the  fair  variety." 

Placed  in  a  situation  where  these 
beautiful  features  are  continually  be- 
fore the  eve,  the  most  callous  and  in- 
sensible heart  most,  in  some  degree, 
acknowledge  their  influence.  What, 
then,  must  he  their  effect  on  a  pure 
and  polished  imagination,  in  which,  as 
by  nature's  mirror,  the  glassy  lake,  each 
surrounding  object  is  reflected,  if  in  a 
new  position,  still  with  the  strictest 
truth — a  truth  which  the  writer  stu- 
dious of  nature  will  find  acknowledged 
by  that  universal  responsive  feeling 
which  her  great  Author  has  implanted 
in  the  human  breast,  accordant  with 
his  works. 

The  scene  of  Mrs.  Bray*s  Romance, 

«  the  tells  us  iirthe  Introduction,  is 

kid  in  the  immediate  neighbourhood 

Vto- own  reskknee,  Taf islock.    The 


traditions  of  the  place  hate  afforded 
her,  it  appears,  some  slight  ground* 
work  for  her  story ;  one  of  which  says, 
that  Judge  Glanvile,  who  flourished  in 
the  rcjgn  of  Eliiabeih,  condemned  his 
own  daughter  to  death.  And  Prince 
has  told  us,  that  Sir  John  Filz,  coun« 
sellor-at-law  and  sheriff  of  Devon»  in 
the  above-mentioned  sera,  was  much 
addicted  to  the  stud^  of  judicial  astro- 
logy, and  that  casting  the  nativity  of 
his  child,  even  at  the  moment  of  its 
taking  place,  found  by  "  these  arts 
inhibited  and  out  of  warrant",  thai  he 
would  come  to  an  unlucky  end.  it 
fell  out  indeed  as  the  astrologer  had 
predicted  :  this  son  baring  attained  Uk 
manhood,  killed  his  neighbour.  Sir  Ni* 
choHis  Sianning,  in  a  duel,  and  sub* 
semif  ntly  ended  his  days  by  suicide. 

VVe  should  infringe  on  the  usual 
limits  appropriated  in  these  columns  to 
a  review,  if  we  should  particularly  de» 
tail  the  plot  which  Mrsi  Bray  has  con* 
structed  on  the  above  hints,  or  should 
attempt  to  describe  all  the  characters 
introduced  into  her  Romance.  Her  iiw 
timate  acquaintance  with  history,  and 
ancient  manners  in  general,  and  hei 
local  experience  in  Devon,  has  afforded 
her  great  advantages  in  the  formation 
of  her  tale.  Thus  we  have  bold  and 
masterly  sketches  of  cavern  scenes,  in 
which  the  bands  of  outlawed  miners, 
who  infested  Dartmoor  in  the  time  of 
Elizabeth,  are  the  acton.  Levi,  a 
Jew,  an  agent  for  the  illegal  traffic  of 
these  men,  is  a  particulatly  well-con* 
ceived  and  finely-sustaincid  character. 

The  scene  in  which  Mrs.  Alice 
Physic  (a  proper  name,  by  the  bye,  of 
frequent  occurrence  among  the  De* 
vonian  commonalty)  details  to  Master 
Barnabas,  the  instructor  of  the  Latin 
boys  in  the  Schola  Regia.Tavistock- 
ensis,  Mike  of  the  Mount,  the  Min- 
strel, &c.  seated  round  the  kitcben-flre 
of  the  kni<;htly  mansion  of  Fitz-Furd, 
the  tale  of  Judge  Glanvile  condemning^ 
in  his  legal  office,  h:s  own  daughter  to 
death,  is  such,  as  we  conceive,  may  be 
fa\r\y  pralleled  with  Corporal  Trim's 
relation  of  his  young  master's  d^th  to 
the  inmates  of  the  kitchen,  in  the 
pases  of  that  great  master  of  the  cords 
of  human  sympathy,  Sterne.  (See  vol. 
i.  p.  SSg  et  seq.)  We  extract  b  porti6n 
of  the  death-bed  scene  of  Sir  Hugh 
Fitz  (Mrs.  Bray  seems  to  have  taken 
the  liberty  of  designating  him  Hush 
instead  of  John,  hiareal  name,  for  the 
sake  of  distinguishing  him  from  hb  illo

Arnault's  Tragedy  of  Gasiaous  Adolphat, 


[Feb. 


ia  eoBseqiience»  eontidermble  daimi  upon 
the  public  latitude  \  at  any  rata  lie  haa  the 
approbation  of  those  wh(i  can  duJy  appre- 
date  labortoat  inquiry,  although  unaccom- 
paaied  with  the  graces  of  rhetorio«  or  the 
tinsel  of  6ction,  that  essential  to  the  popu- 
larity of  a  roodiern  work.  Mr.  Hartc  s  ac- 
count of  the  death  of  Gustavus  may  be 
summed  up  u  follows  : — 

Oo  the  ft9th  Oct.  16S9,  GusUvus  took 
leave  of  his  queen,  at  Erfurt,  and  set  ont 
for  Naumburg :  his  rapid  advsnee  from  Ba- 
varia WIS  unexpected  by  Walstctn,  the  Im- 
Serialist  geOeral,  who  had  then  detached  a 
ivision  under  Pappenheim,  to  tske  posses- 
aion  of  Halle.     Gustavus  having  intercepted 
a  letter  to  an  Imperialist  officer,  ordering  iiim 
to  hasten  to  Halle,  and  come  oo  with  Pappen- 
heim to  join  the  main  body,  he  immediately 
decided   on  atCacking  Walstein  while   his 
fiireea  were  scattered.     The  5:h  Nov.  was 
•ccupied  in  advancing ;  and  by  the  evening 
of  that  day,  the  armies  were  in  presence  on 
tiie  plain  of  Lutzen,  separated  only  by  the 
high  road  from  Lelpsic,  on  each   side  of 
which  was  a  deep  ditch.     Gusuvui  passed 
the4iight  in  his  coach.     His  intcntina  was 
to  attack  the  enemy  l>efure  dawn,   but  a 
thidc  mist  prevented  him.     He  had  divine 
aervice  performed  early ;  and  at  nine  o'clock 
he  rode  through  the  lines,  and  liarangued 
Kia  troops  {  he  then  put  himself  at  the  head 
of  the  right  wing,  accompanied  by  the  Duke 
of  Saxe-Laoenburg,    several  aids-de-camp, 
•ad  a  few  of  his  household.     When  the 
action  had  commenced,   he  observed  that 
soma  of  the  brigades  did  not  advance,  like 
the  others,  to  pass  the  ditch ;  he  rode  up 
and  called  out  to  them,  to  stand  firm  at  least, 
aad  see  dieir  master  die.    The  king's  ad- 
drcM  had  the  desired  effect;  he  advanced 
against  the  enemy,  and  soon  received  a  m()r- 
iSl  wound.     Pappenheim  arrived  during  the 
engagement,  but  with  only  a  part  of  his 
division :  he  took  his  favourite  post,  (that 
opposed  to  Gustavus,)    but   while   ^ivinf^ 
some  orders,  be  was  struck  by  a  falconet 
ball,  which  caused  his  death.     Plccolominl 
femaioed  on  the  field  till  the  Isit ;  he  re- 
ceived several  wounds,  but  would  not  retire; 
he  even  attempted  to  carry  off  the  dead  body 
of  Giutavus. 

Lauenburg  is  accused  of  being  concerned 
in  the  king's  death.  A  story  is  related  of  a 
personal  affront  he  received  from  Gustavus, 
aad  which  excited  his  resentment :  this 
atitcdote  may  suit  a  romance,  and  is  thought 
to  have  had  its  origin  south  of  the  Alps ; 
Je  fien  i  vero,  e  htn  Invato,  Ri^'cio  {tie 
MUm  GermaniciiJ  declares  ii  anilemfabeUam, 
muiiereuiarem  Miramenium,  As  all  who 
vert  near  Gustavus  perished,  except  Lauen- 
borg',  who  immediately  rode  out  of  the 
hittit,  without  communicating  the  circum- 
to  Duke  Bernard  of  Weimar,  or  the 
b  jteaeral  Kaiphausen,  the  Swedes  to 
ly  Mbtit  that  be  gave  some  signal, 
■r  Am  a^Bosaarv  (o  the  event;  but 


whether  his  motives  be  founded  on  a  private 
it*jury,  or  in  fimaticism  for  the  Imperial 
cause,  cannot  at  this  distance  of  time  \>e 
determined. . 

To  confine  a  dramatist  to  historical  fact 
would  be  unreasonable,  for  some  latitude  is 
necessary  for  the  play  of  imagination;  but 
in  the  present  case,  the  uncertainty  which 
attaches  to  the  king's  death,  justifies  the 
introduction  of  even  doubtful  circumstances. 
Mr.  Arnault  represents  Lauenburg  as  smart- 
ing with  a  recollection  uf  the  injury  he  has 
recei%'ed  from  Gustavus,  who  generouily 
apologises  to  hiro.  This  magnanimity  places 
the  duke  in  a  dilemma,  as  he  has  been  or- 
dered by  a  secret  trilninal  (a  sort  of  FehmJ, 
to  kill  the  king.  While  in  a  state  of  sus- 
pense, he  is  reminded  of  his  duty  by  Fre- 
deric, a  fanatical  student,  who  fearing  the 
duke's  irresolution,  decides  on  committing 
the  act  himself;  he  advances  to  the  tent 
where  GusUvus  is  asleep,  and  fires  at  him, 
but  without  effect;  he  is  then  arrested,  tried, 
and  condemned.  On  the  trial  it  appears, 
that  the  pistol  lie  had  used  l>elonged  to 
Lauenburg,  then  presiding ;  hut  the  young 
enthusiast,  in  order  to  nerve  his  cause,  finds 
nn  excuse,  and  congratulates  himself,  that 
he  leaves  behind  him  one  who  is  bound  to 
attempt  the  same  deed.  While  I'Vederic  is 
awuting  the  order  for  his  execution,  the 
Ittng  enters  and  gives  him  a  free  pardon ; 
which  act  makes  him  as  enthusiastic  in  his 
favour,  as  he  was  before  in  the  cause  of  his 
enemies. 

The  next  incident  which  Mr.  Arnault  has 
invented,  is  the  arrival  of  a  deputation  from 
Sweden,  exhorting  Gustavus  to  piit  an  end 
to  the  war.  He  declares  hb  intention  rather 
to  alidicate ;  which  so  moves  the  deputies 
that  thev  cease  to  oppose  his  views :  the 
young  Christina  is  publicly  declared  his  suc- 
cessor, aud  the  crown  is  solemnly  placed  on 
her  head  by  her  father.  Public  prayer  is 
then  made;  the  signal  for  entragcment  is 
given ;  aud  GusUvus  is  soon  after  brought 
in  mortally  wounded,  Lauenburg  having 
given  the  concerted  signal  to  the  enemy. 
The  king  continues  to  give  oidcrs,  lives  to 
hear  the  shout  of  victory,  aud  dies  in  the 
embraces  of  his  wife  and  daughter.  After 
his  death  Piccolomini  is  introduced,  aud 
surrenders  his  sword  to  the  royal  corpse; 
this  anecdote  is  borrowed  from  Dugueschin, 
but  though  quite  unfounded  respecting  Gus- 
tavus, is  perfectly  consistent  with  the  per- 
sonal respect  entertained  for  him  by  nuny  of 
his  enemies. 

-  The  play  is  decidedly  of  the  classical 
school,  excepting  of  course  the  substitution 
of  a  pistol  for  a  dagger.  Without  a  single 
change  of  scene,  the  whole  tragedy  is  re- 
presented in  a  large  tent,  decorated  with  the 
Swedish  arms.  It  is  true,  that  by  occa- 
cionally  drawing  a  curtain  in  the  tent,  a 
camp  is  rendered  visible ;  but  with  that  ex- 
ception, we  find  the  conversations  and  in-

MIDSUMMER  EVE: 
A  Ballad.    By  thi  Rct.  B.  A.  Biur» 

t^  TnariMloek  ;  fiom  Mrs,  Bray's  Romance  of 

FUt  tf  FUz'FML 
SCARCE  thadf  the  Moon^  through  rolling 
clouds, 
A  iUnt  and  fliekerf  ng  light  i 
Long  has  the  wearied  villsger 
Shared  the  •'  deep  sleep**  of  night. 

Slow  o'er  the  chureh-Tard's  lonely  path 

Yooag  Edward  bendi  his  way* 
Where  bodies,  from  life's  earee  and  toib 9 

Rest  till  the  judgment  day. 

Yews,  drear  at  death,  in  lengthemng  rows 

Spread  a  chill  gloom  around ; 
Beneath  the  verdant  vault,  his  stepe 

In  startling  echoes  sonnd. 

The  heft  in  cireles  o'er  his  head 

On  leathern  ^ion  flits. 
What  time,  'tb  said,  the  wailing  ghost 
His  narrow  mansion  quits. 

With  heart  undaunted  he  proceeds 

To  where,  amid  die  skies, 
The  spire  uplifts  his  haughty  heady 

And  wind  and  storm  defies. 

He  enters  now  the  frowning  porch 
Hiat  guards  the  hallowed  door ; 

And,  seated  on  its  smooth- worn  benehy 
Thus  cons  his  purpose  o'er. 

"  Here,  till  the  hour  of  midnight  sonndy 

With  patient  heed  I  sUy  : 
Such  is  my  Emma's  fond  command. 

And  gladly  I  obey. 

**  Long  though  so  coy,  the  yielding  nudd 

Has  smiled  on  my  reouett ; 
To-morrow  qnits  a  motner's  carOy 

And  seeks  a  husband's  breast. 

<*  What  joys  were  mine,  when  thus  she  cried' 

'  I  know  my  Edward 's  true : 
My  mother  and  my  home  I  'II  leave  . 

To  live  and  die  with  you ! 

** '  By  arts,  which  now  I  blush  to  own, 

I  ofi  your  love  have  tried ; 
And,  if  your  courage  be  as  strong. 

Yourself  shall  now  decide. 

*'  <  Midsummer's  awful  eve  is  near. 
When  they  whose  hearu  are  bold 

May,  at  the  great  church- door,  'tis  said. 
The  trsin  of  death  behold  ! 

«  « Tliere,  through  the  key-hole  (swh  the 
Ule), 

At  midoiffht  hour,  the  eye 
Sees  those  slow  pacing  through  th*  aisk 

Who  b  the  year  shall  die. 


** '  Learn  whether,  then,  the  virgid  tnSm 

(If  you  the  sight  can  brave) 
Shall  lead  me  to  the  nuptial  bower. 

Or  bear  me  to  the  grave. 

<<  *  For  why,  short  joy  to  either  heart. 
Should  wedlock  join  our  hands; 

If  death,  to  pierce  each  heart  the  move. 
So  soon  shall  break  the  bands ?'" 

Now  through  the  sacred  pile  resonnda 

The  long,  last  hour  of  night  1 
To  the  broad  keyhole  bends  the  youth. 

And  through  it  darts  hb  sight. 

Bright   through  the  windows  boiett   the 
Moon 

And  pours  her  beams  around ; 
He  hears,  re-echoing  throii^h  die  aisles. 

Slow  fbotstepe  tread  the  ground. 

Instant  he  sees  a  numerous  train 

Approach  in  solemn  pace ; 
A  sable  shroud  surrounds  eaoh  limb 

And  pale  b  every  face. 

He  watch'd  t  and,  ere  to  ailes  lemoto 

The  speetres  slow  withdrew. 
Most,  if^not  all  the  ghostly  train. 

The  youth  with  horror  Lmw  I 

Some,  doom'd  in  manhood's  prime  to  hJi ; 

Some  in  the  pride  of  charms ; 
And  mothers,  with  their  new-bom  babes 

Reposing  in  their  arms ! 

The  feeble  forms  of  hoary  age 

Pass  on  with  tott'ring  Icnees :

When,  bst,  himself  he  sees  I 


Another  Edward  meets  his  eye. 

And  ends  the  horrid  train  ! 
His  breath  b  stopp'd,  hb  eyes  are  fixed, 

Hb  bosom  throbs  with  pain.

HISTORICAL  CHRONICLE. 


PROCEEDINGS    IN    PARLIAMENT. 


HouiB  or  LoiiDS,  Fd\  4. 

The  fourth  Sesiion  of  the  present  Furlia* 
neot  wu  thie  day  opened  by  Royal  Coni- 
miatioD ;  when  the  Lard  Chancellor  delivered 
the  following  Speech  :-~ 

<*  My  hard*  and  GetUfement 

**  We  are  comnuadcd  by  bii  MajeiU  to 
inform  you,  that  his  Majesty  receives  from 
all  Forfeign  Powers  the  strongest  assurances 
of  their  desire  to  maintain  aiid  cultivate  t)ie 
most  irindly  xdatioai  with  this  country. 
His  Majesty  has  seen  ii4th  satisfaetiou  that 
the  war  between  Russia  and  the  Ottoman 
Porte  has  been  brought  to  a  conclusion. 
The  efforts  of  his  Majesty  to  accomplish 
the  main  objects  of  the  Treaty  of  the  6th 
JttlVt  1897**  hare  been  unremitted.  His 
Majesty  having  recently  concerted  with  his 
Allies  measurea  for  the  pacification  and  final 
settlement  of  Greece,  trusts  that  he  shall 
l)e  enablffdy  at  an  early  period,  to  communi- 
cate to  you  the  particulars  of  this  arrange- 
ment, with  such  information  as  may  explain 
the  conrsn  which  his  Mnetty  has  pursued 
throughout  the  progress  of  these  important 
transactions.  His  Majesty  laments  iliat  he 
is  unable  to  announce  to  you  the  prospect 
of  a  reconciliation  l>etween  the  Princes  of 
the  House  of  Braganza.  His  Majesty  has 
not  yet  deemed  it  expedient  to  re-establish* 
upon  their  ancient  footing,  his  Majesty's 
diplomatic  reUtions  with  the  kingdom  of 
Portugal.  But  the  numerous  embarrass- 
ments arising  from  the  continued  interrup- 
tion of  these  relations  increase  his  Majesty's 
desire  to  effect  the  termination  of  so  serious 
an  evil. 

"  Gentlemm  qf  the  House  qf  Commom, 

"  His  Mijesty  has  directed  the  Estimates 
for  the  current  year  to  he  laid  before  you. 
They  have  been  framed  with  every  attention 
to  economy,  and  it  will  be  satisfisctory  to  you 
to  leani,  tuat  his  Msjesty  will  be  enabled  to 
make  a  considerable  Reduction  in  the  amount 
of  the  Public  JSxpenditurct  without  impair- 
ing the  efficiency  of  our  Naval  or  Military 
Establishments.  We  are  commanded  by  his 
Majesty  to  inform  you,  that  although  the 
National  Income,  during  the  last  year,  has 
not  attained  the  full  amount  at  which  it  had 
been  estimated,  the  diminution  is  not  such 
as  to  cause  any  doubt  as  to  the  future  pros- 
perity of  the  Revenue. 

'<  My  Lords  and  Genllemen, 

"  His  Majesty  commands  us  to  acquamt 
you  that  his  attentipn  has  been  of  late  ear- 
nestly directed  to  various  important  consi- 
demtions  connected  with  improvementa  in 
the  admin'istration  of  the  law.  His  Majesty 
Av  dineud  Uuu  mcMsures  shali  be  submitted 


for  your  deliberation,  of  which  some  art  eal- 
culated,  in  the  opinion  of  his  Mdesty,  t^ 
facilitate  and  expedite  tlie  course  of  Justice 
in  different  parts  of  the  United  Kingdom^ 
and  others  appear  to  be  necessary  prelimina- 
ries to  a  revision  of  the  practice  and  pro- 
ceedings of  the  superior  Courts.  We  art 
commanded  to  assure  you  that  his  Majesty 
feels  confident  that  you  will  give  your  best 
attention  and  swsistanoe  to  subjects  of  auch 
deep  and  lasting  concern  to  the  weli-being 
of  lib  people.  Hia  Majesty  commands  ua 
to  inform  you  that  the  Export  in  the  last 
year  of  British  Produce  and  Manufactnrea 
has  exceeded  that  of  any  former  year.  Hie 
Majesty  laments,  thaty  notwithstanding  this 
indication  of  active  commerce,  distress 
should  prevail  among  the  Agricultural  and 
Manufacturing  clasaea  in  aome  parte  of  the 
United  Kingdom.  It  arould  be  nsoet  grati- 
fying to  the  paternal  feelings  of  bb  Majesty 
to  be  enabled  to  propoae  for  yo«r  coondera- 
tion,  measures  calculated  to  xemove  the  dif- 
ficulties of  any  portion  of  his  subjects^  and 
at  the  same  time  compatible  with  the  general 
and  permanent  interests  of  his  people.  It 
is  from  a  deep  solicitude  for  those  interests 
that  his  Majesty  b  impressed  with  the  iie> 
cessity  of  acting  with  extreme  caution  in 
refierence  to  this  important  subject.  His 
Majesty  feels  aasured,  that  you  will  concur 
with  him  in  assigning  due  weight  to  th^ 
effect  of  unfiivourable  seasons,  and  to  the 
operation  of  other  causes,  which  are  beyond 
the  reacfli  of  Legislative  controul  or  remedy. 
Above  all,  his  Majesty  b  convluced  thai  no 
pressure  of  temporary  difficulty  will  induce 
you  to  relax  the  determination  which  you 
have  uniformly  manifested,  to  maintain  in- 
violate the  Public  Credit,  and  thus  to  uphold 
the  hifth  Character  and  the  permanent  Wel- 
fare of  the  Country." 

The  Duke  tf  Buceleugh  moved,  and  Lord 
SaUoun  seconded,  the  usual  Address  to  his 
Majesty,  for  his  gracious  Speech. — Earl 
Stanhope  expressed  nimself  dbsatisfied  with 
the  Speech.  He  would  ask  if  it  contamed 
a  real  and  true  representation  of  the  state 
of  the  country  ?  If  it  was  any  other  speech 
than  that  of  his  Majesty,  he  would  say  thi^ 
a  more  inapt  speech,  or  one  more  foil  of 
misrepresentation,  had  never  been  written. 
The  Noble  Earl,  in  conclusion,  moved  as  ah 
amendment — "That  thb  House  sees  with 
the  deepest  sorrow  and  anxbty  the  severe 
distress  which  prevails  in  the  country,  and 
will  immediately  proceed  to  examiue  its 
causae  with  a  view  to  a  reoMdy." — ^Tbe 
Duke  qf  Richmond  could  not  support  the 
Address.    The  Noble  Duke  dilated  at  some 


Proctedingi  in  the  preteiit  Saaiou  of  Parliament.

a  half  than  formarlj.— After  some  reroarkf 
from  dtferent  memben,  the  qaeition  wa« 
agreed  to. 

Feb.  11.  The  question  relative  to  the 
disfranchisement  of  East  Retford  was  intro- 
duced by  Mr.  N.  Calvert,  and  Mr.  Termywrif 
and  after  some  discussion  the  proposltton  of 
the  former  was  negatived  by  a  majority  of 
1 64  to  55.— A  division  also  took  place  on  an 
amendment  by  Lord  Htnviek,  who  proposed 
a  number  of  resolutions  against  bribery  ge- 
nerally ;  it  was  lost  by  a  majority  of  97. 
'  The  Solicitor  General,  after  an  able  speech 
mi  the  necessity  of  effecting  various  legal 
reforms,  obtained  leave  to  bring  in  the  fol- 
lowing bills  : — »  bill  to  facilitate  the  pay- 
ment of  Debts  oot  of  real  estates  ;  a  bill 
to  amend  the  Uw  relating  to  the  property  of 
Ittfiuts,  Femes  covert,  and  Lunatics  i  a  bill 
§ot  amen^ng  (he  law  relating  to  Lunatic  and 
Infant  Trustees  and  Mortgagees  ;  and  a  bill 
'for  amending  the  law  reiatiug  to  Process  of 
Contempt  and  Commitments  for  Contero]>t 
-of  the  CourU  of  Eouity. 

On  the  motion  that  the  House  do  resolve 
iteelf  into  a  Committee  of  Supply,  Tlie  Mar- 
quis  qfBlandfifrd  declared  that  he  would  not 
consent  to  vote  one  shilling  of  the  public 
money  until  the  question  of  public  distress 
had  been  considered,  and  the  grievances  of 
the  country  redressed.  It  was  of  little  mo- 
ment to  him  whether  he  was  called  a  factious 
person.  He  should  do  his  duty. — The  House 
divided,  when  there  appeared,— For  going 
mto  a  Committee,  109— Against  it,  9. 

House  or  Lords,  Feb,  19. 
Lord  HoUmui  rote  topro|)ose  the  following 
resolution  respecting  the  sflFitirs  of  Greece, 
-—That  there  should  be  no  pacification  or 
settlement  of  Greece,  which  would  not  give 
that  country  an  extent  of  territory  sufficient 
to  enable  her  to  preserve  her  independence 
by  land  and  by  sea ;  and  that  no  gdvernment 
should  be  imposed  on  her  which  was  not 
consistent  with  the  wishes  of  the  people.— 
The  Earl  of  Aberdeen  entreated  the  House  to 
negative  the  resolution  of  the  noble  Lord, 
-  as  contrary  to  any  proceeding  which  had  ever 
taken  place  on  sucn  subjects. — The  Duke  of 
WelUngtoH  never  heard  any  thing  more  un- 
parliamenury  than  the  course  proposed  by 
the  noble  Lord ;  the  object  of  it  was  to 
manifest  a  want  of  confidence  ia  his  Ma- 
jesty's Ministers. Resolution  withdrawn. 

In  the  House  OF  Commons,  the  same  day, 

Sir  James  Graham,  after  expatiating  on  the 

national  distresses,  and  the  depreciated  value 

of  all  commodities,  moved  the  following  re- 

aohtkm: — "  That  whereas  the  salaries  of 

kliG  oMcen  bad  been  augmeiited)  io  Qou- 


sequence  of  the  depreciation  of  tha  ourreooy. 
It  was  expedient,  now  that  the  standard  was 
restored,  to  reduce  the  salaries  of  officers  to 
what  they  hod  been  in  1797." — ^By  way  of 
amendment,  a  resolution,  *'  That  every  sav- 
ing ought  to  be  made  without  the  violation 
pf  exutine  engagements,  and  withoat  detri* 
ment  to  the  public  service,"  was  moved  by 
Mr.Douvon.  After  several  members  bad  spo- 
ken, the  amendment  was  carried  by  coosenl* 

Feb,  1 5.  The  Chancellor  if  th€  Eweheqmer 
having  moved  the  order  of  the  day  for  the 
House  to  resolve  itself  into  a  Committee  of 
Supply,  Mr.  Hume  moved  as  an  amend- 
ment, *•  That  the  House  will  forthwith  pro- 
ceed to  the  repeal  and  modification  of  taxes 
to  the  largest  possible  extent  tliat  the  civil, 
military,  and  naval  establishmenu  of  the 
country  will  adroit,  as  tlie  means  qf  affording 
general  relief  to  the  country ."^The  Chan" 
cellor  qf  the  Exchequer  replied  i  and  after 
^me  observations  by  Mr.  Mabtrbf,  Mr. 
fTestem,  Lord  JUharp,  Mr.  C.  IVooi,  Mr. 
<7.  Grant,  Lord  Howiek,  Mr.  Fed,  and  Mr. 
ff^odehouae,  the  House  divided— For  the  mo- 
tion, 69}   against  it,  184.  ... 

Feb.  1 7.  After  several  petitions  had  been 
presented,  Mr.  PeeZ  obtained  leave  to  bring 
m  aBill  to  abolish  all  fees  heretofiira  payable 
bv  penons  on  their  acquittal,  or  other  dis- 
charge from  any  criminal  charge. 

The  House  then  went  into  a  Committee 
of  Supply,  and  the  fbllowiag  resolutions 
were  agreed  to  without  discussion  :^That  a 
sum  not  exceeding  9,500,000L  be  granted 
to  his  Majes^  t9  discharge  the  like  amount 
of  aupplies  granted  in  the  yean  189S,  4,  5, 
6,  7»  8,  and  9  :— A  sum  not  exceeding 
95,488,800/.,  to  pay  off  and  discharge  Ex- 
chequer Bills  isiued  in  1899  and  1830  :^A 
sum  not  exceeding  168,800{.  to  pav  off 
Exchequer  Bills  issued  on  account  of  ad- 
vances for  canymg  oa  Public  Works  and 
Building  New  Churches. 

Feb,  1 8.  Mr.  Peel  obtained  leave  to  bring 
in  a  Bill  to  regulate  the  appropriation  of 
fees  payable  to  offioers  in  the  Courts  of 
Common  Law. 

The  Marquis  of  Blan^ford,  in  a  speech  of 
great  length,  brought  forward  amotion  for 
Farliambntary  Kxform.  l*he  Marquis 
recommended  the  going  back  to  the  old 
node  of  paying  our  representatives  for  their 
laboura  and  loss  of  time.  The  representa- 
tives of  cities  and  boroughs  to  have  «/.  per 
day,  and  county  membera  4^  He  also  re- 
commended a  reduction  of  electioneering 
expenses,  and  proposed  a  complete  change 
in  the  right  ot  voting,  excluding  non-resi- 
dents. The  motion,  **  That  leave  be  given 
to  bring  in  a  Bill  to  restore  the  Constitutional 
influence  of  the  Commons  in  the  Parliament 
of  EngUtnd,"  was  eventually  lost  by  »  ma- 
jority of  108.

Sir  Thomas  Lawrence,  Prrs.  R.  A. 

Jan.  14.  At  hit  houie  in  Ruitell- 
square,  af^d  GO,  Sir  Tbomai  Lawrence, 
Knt.  President  of  the  Royal  Academy, 
Principal  Portrait-Painter  to  his  Ma- 
jesty, LL.D.  F.R.S.  and  Knight  of  the 
legion  of  Honour. 

Sir  Thomas  Lawrence  was  born  at 
Bristol,  April  13,  I769.  His  father, 
Thomas,  who  had  been  a  Supervisor  of 
Excise,  took  possession  of  the  White 
Lion  Inn,  in  Broad-street,  on  the  3d 
of  June  following  Sir  Thomas's  birth.* 
Mr.  Lawrence  in  person  was  tall  and 
rotund  \  and  to  the  last  wore  a  large 
bushy  wig  and  a  cocked  hat.  His 
manners  were  mild  and  pleasing,  and 
his  countenance  blooming  and  grace- 
ful. He  made  some  pretentions  to 
literary  taste,  and  was  fond  of  reciting 
poetry,  particularly  passages  from  Shak- 
apeare  and  Milton.  In  some  satiric  lines, 
by  Chatterton,  entitled  **  The  Defence," 
be  is  lashed  as  an  admirer  of  one  of  the 
contemporary  versifiers  of  the  boy-bard, 
whose  resplendent  genius  was  undistin- 
guished through  the  Boeotian  fogs  that 
then  enveloped  bis  native  city— 

'*  Say,  can  the  satiriiing  pen  of  Shears 
Eialt  his  name,  or  mutilate  his  ears  ? 
None  but  a  Launtnce  can  adorn  bis 
lays,  [praise.** 

Who  in  a  quart  of  claret  drinks  his 

Sir  Thos.  Lawrence's  mother  was  the 
daughter  of  a  clergyman,  the  incumbent 
of  Tetbury  in  Glvuceitershire  {  and  Sir 
Thomas  had  two  brothers  and  two  sis- 
ters. His  elder  brother,  the  R«v.  Andrew 
Lawrence,  was  Chaplain  of  Haslar  Hos- 
pital, and  his  brother  William  a  Mi^or 
in  the  Army;  both  have  been  dead  some 
years.  His  elder  sister,  Lucy,  was  mar- 
ried In  March,  1800,  to  Mr.  Meredith, 
solicitor,  of  Birmingham.  She  died  in 
February,  1813*  leaving  one  daui^hter, 
married  to  Mr.  John  Aston,  of  St.  Paul's- 


*  As  Mr.  Lawrence  became  an  inha- 
bitant of  the  parish  of  Christ  Church  at 
so  near  a  period  to  Sir  Thomas's  birth, 
the  registers  have  been  searched  for  an 
entry  of  hit  baptism,  but  it  is  not  to 
be  found  In  it.  The  reghter  eon- 
tains  entries  of  the  baptism  of  Littleton 
Colston,  son  of  Thomas  and  Lucy  Law- 
rence, on  the  18th  of  Dec.  1770,  and  of 
tbelr  daughter  Francei,  on  the  10th  of 
0er.  177«. 


•qnare.  In  Birmingham.  His  jrounger 
sister,  Anne,  married  the  Rev.  Dr.  Bios- 
am,  of  Rugby,  and  they  have  six  aonf 
and  three  daoghterf  living. 

We  will  nuw  quote  from  Mr.  Barrings 
ton's  Miscellanies,  (which  were  printed 
in  1781,)  a  passage  in  which  be  noticei 
the  future  President.    After  speaking  of 
the  early  musical  talent  exhibited  by  the 
Earl  of  MorningtoD,  he  proceeds,—"  Af 
I  have  mentioned  so  mnny  other  proofs 
of  early  genius  In  children,  I  cannot  here 
pass  unnoticed  Master  Lawrence,  sun  of 
an  Innkeeper  at  the  Devises  in  Wiltshire 
fwhither  his  father  bad  then  removed 
from  Bristol.]   This  boy  is  now  (vit.  Feb. 
1780}  nearly  ten  years  and  a  half  old; 
but  at  the  age  of  nine,  without  the  most 
distant  instruction  from  any  one,  he  was 
capable  of  copying  historical  pictures  in 
a  masterly   style,  and    also  succeeded 
amasingly  in  compositions  of  his  own, 
particularly  that  of  Peter  denying  Christ. 
in  about  seven  minutes  he  scarcely  ever 
failed  of  drawing  a  strong  likeness  of 
any  uerson  present,  which  had  generally 
much  freedom  and  grace,  if  the  subject 
permitted.    He  is  likewise  an  excellent 
reader  of  blank  verse,  and  will  Imme- 
diately convince  any  one  that  he  both 
understands  and  fee'ls  the  striking  pas- 
sages of  Milton  and  Shakspeare."    This 
last  talent  it  is  probable  the  boy  im- 
bibed   from   his    parent  :    Sir  Thumas 
Lawrence  was  alwa>s  distinguished  for 
skill,  taste,  and  feeling  in  recitatiuii. 

Falling  in  business  at  Devizes  Mr. 
Lawrence  returned  to  Bath,  where  he 
took  a  private  residence  in  Alfred-street, 
and  for  some  time  owed  his  own  sup- 
port and  that  of  his  family  to  the  talents 
and  industry  of  bis  son  Thomas,  then 
m  his  boyhood. 

Without  farouring  circumstances, 
therefore,  it  may  well  be  ascribed  to  in- 
nate genius  that  young  Lawrence  at  a 
very  early  period  of  life  manifested  a  de- 
cided talent  for  the  fine  arts,  and  parti- 
cularly for  portraiture.  His  predilec- 
tions and  abilities  in  this  pursuit  led  to 
his  being  placed  as  a  pupil  under  the 
care  of  Mr.  Hoare  of  Bath,  the  father  of 
the  much-esteemed  Mr.  Prince  Hoare, 
and  a  crayon-painter  of  exquisite  taste, 
fancy,  and  feeling.  Under  such  a  mas- 
ter, it  is  not  surprising  that  Lawrence 
should  acquire  those  qualities  of  grace, 
elegance,  and  spirit,  which  rendered 
him  so  truly  the  artist  of  patrician  dip- 
nity  and  loveliness.  At  first  he  execot^ 
erayon  likenesses  in  the  manner  of  his 
instnietor;  and  two  of  these  portraits 
have  been  seen  of  ladies  in  red  jackets, 
viith  hats  and  feathers,  the  then  un- 
sightly costume  of  the  fashionable  of 
Bath,  for  which  he  was  paid  ien  fMiiHngt

Obituaht.-— Sir  Thomat  Lawrence,  Pret.R^J. 


[Feb. 


of  Mn.  EtCen,  In  the  character  of  BcHri- 
den,  four  other  portraits  of  ladki»  a 
Vetcal  Virgin,  and  a  Mad  Girl.  Next 
year  the  artii t  resided  in  Jermyn^treet, 
and  sent  lix  of  bit  performanees^  all  por- 
traits. In  1789  he  exbibitrd  no  fewer 
than  thirteen  pieces,  and  was  evidently 
adrancing  rapidly  in  his  profession,  as 
three  of  the  portraits  are  *' ladies  of  qua- 
lity," besides  his  Royal  Highness  the 
Duke  of  York.    In  1790,  among  twelve 

Sctures,  occur  the  Princess  Amelia,  her 
ajesty,  a  Nobleman's  Son,  a  General 
Officer,  and  a  Celebrated  Actress.  The 
last  was  Miss  Farren,  whose  beautiful 
whole-length  was  hung  as  a  pendant  to 
the  celebrated  one  of  Mrs.  Billingtou,  as 
St.  Cecilia,  by  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds.  In 
1791,  Lawrence's  address  was  S4,  Old 
Bond-street  i  and  Homer  reciting  his 
Poems  IS  the  first  subject  we  find  with 
his  name.  In  the  next  Catalogue  the 
prosperous  record  runs,  ''Thowas  Law- 
rence, a  Principal  Painter  in  Ordinary 
to  His  Majesty  ;*'  and  his  chief  pictures 
are,  a  Lady  of  Fashion  as  Barbarosia, 
and  a  portrait  of  the  King.  He  subse- 
quently resided  for  several  years  in  Greek- 
street,  Sobo,  where  we  have  understood 
Westall  occupied  part  of  the  same  house. 

"The  peace  of  1814  was  an  auspicious 
mn.  for  Lawrence.  He  received  a  mag- 
nificent commiision  from  his  royal  pa- 
tron^  the  King,  to  paint  the  Allied  So- 
Tereigns,  their  ministers,  and  the  most 
exalted  personages  of  Europe,  including 
the  Pope,  Mettcmicb,  Blucher,  Ptatoff, 
Cardinal  Gonsalvi,  &c.  For  this  purpose 
he  visited  Parii,  Vienna,  Rome,  and  the 
other  principal  cities  of  the  continent. 
He  received  the  honour  of  knighthood, 
ApnISO,  1815. 

On  the  death  of  Mr.  West  in  1820,  Sir 
Thomas  Lawrence  was  elected  to  the 
President's  chair,  in  the  Royal  Academy. 
He  was  then  at  Rome,  employed  on  his 
portrait  of  the  Pope,  but  be  speedily  re- 
turned to  England.  In  his  high  and 
honourable  office,  his  elegance  and  sua- 
vity of  manner,  united  wiib  a  strong 
impression  of  bis  general  benevolence 
and  liberality,  rendered  him  eminently 
popular.  His  last  public  duty  at  the  Aca- 
demy was  the  delivery  of  the  biennial 
medals  about  a  month  before  bis  decease 
(see  our  December  Magazine,  p.  544), 
when  the  affectionate  eloquence  of  his 
address  was  such  as  will  never  be  for- 
gotten by  the  students.  Two  or  thrre 
of  his  similar  addresses  have  l>een  print- 
ed, but  only  for  private  distribution. 

In  1826  Sir  Tbomss  Lawrence  paid 
another  visit  to  Paris,  for  the  purpose 
of  painting  Charles  X.  and  was  reward* 
ed  with  the  cross  of  the  Legion  of 
HoBw.    The  acceptance  of  foreign  ho- 


noura  is  generally  denied  to  British  sub- 
jects by  the  English  government  except 
for  military  services.  A  few  exceptions 
are  to  be  found  under  peculiar  circum- 
stances, and  the  case  of  the  late  Presi- 
dent is  one. 

His  death  was  unexpected,  occurring 
after  a  slight  illness  of  five  days.  On 
the  previous  Saturday  he  dined,  in  com- 
pany with  Mr.  Wilkie,  Mr.  Jackson,  and 
some  other  artists,  at  the  house  of  Mr. 
Secretary  Peel.  On  Sunday  he  first 
complained  of  pain  in  the  neck  and 
lower  part  of  the  face.  From  that  day 
till  Tuesday  his  malady  seemed  to  in- 
crease and  remit  at  intervals,  and  was 
considered  inflammation  in  the  bowels. 

So  late  as  the  Tuesday  he  was  busily 
employed  in  the  Committee  of  the  Athe- 
nseum,  making  arrangements  for  the 
opening  of  the  new  house,  where  he  was 
particularly  animated  on  the  subject  of 
internal  decoration,  and  took  a  great 
interest  in  procuring  works  of  art  to 
adorn  the  interior.  He  had  himself  pro- 
mised to  paint  and  present  a  portrait  of 
His  Mijesty,  to  be  placed  in  the  library ^ 
but  the  accomplishment  of  this  promise 
was  unhappily  prevented  by  his  death. 
He  was  also  at  Messrs.  Cuutts,  the  ban- 
kers; and  the  subject  of  conversation 
now  remembered,  was  that  of  an  exqui- 
sitely written  letter  of  condolence  sent 
by  him  to  one  of  the  partners,  on  the 
decease  of  his  daughter.  On  the  evening 
of  the  same  day,  Mrs.Ottley,  the  wife 
of  the  distinguished  writer  on  the  Fine 
Arts,  and  a  part  of  her  young  family, 
spent  the  evening  with  him,  when  be 
appeared  cheerful.  On  Wednesday  even- 
ing he  was  worse,  and  Dr.  Holland  was 
called  in,  who  immediately  saw  the  dan- 
ger of  his  patient,  with  whom  he  sat  up 
all  night:  he  was  relieved  and  better 
during  Thursday,  so  that  towards  even- 
ing he  received  two  other  old  friends, 
one  of  whom  read  to  him,  at  his  own 
request,  an  article  in  the  New  Monthly 
Magaxine,  in  answer  to  some  obser- 
vations in  the  Edinburgh  Review  on 
the  life  of  Flaxman.  They  had  re- 
tired, perhaps  to  take  tea  in  another 
room,  when  they  were  suddenly  alarm- 
ed by  cries  for  assistance :  they  were 
those  of  Sir  Thomas's  servant,  but 
when  they  reached  the  spot  which 
they  had  so  recently  quitted,  his  master 
had  ceased  Co  breathe.  An  examination 
made  by  Mr.  Green,  in  the  presence  of 
Dr.  Holland  and  Mr.  Foster  Reeve,  as- 
certains death  to  have  ensued  from  an 
extensive  and  complicated  ossification  of 
the  vessels  of  the  heart. 

Thus  died  the  most  distinguished 
painter  of  the  day  in  one  branch  of  the 
art,  that  of  portrait-painting.    In  this

Obituart.— Sir  Thomas  Lawrence,  Pre^.  R.  A. 


[Feb. 


CbtDcellor,  who  bad  tpreied  to  tit  a  few 
days  before  the  fntal  attack  came  on. 

Tbe  Kinf^  ii  said  to  hare  granted  per- 
miiilon  to  tbe  familyy  publicly  Co  ex- 
bibir,  for  tbeir  exduiive  benefit,  all  the 
portraits  painted  on  tbe  continent,  by 
Royal  command,  for  tbe  Kin^;.  His 
Majesty  has  likewise  icranted  permission 
to  eng^rave  these  works,  and  in  conse- 
quence of  this  gracious  signification,  the 
relatives  announce,  <Mhey  are  making 
arrangements  for  tbe  immediate  publi- 
cation of  a  series  of  engrarings  of  tbe 
most  distinguiibed  characters,  from  the 
works  of  the  late  President." 

No  portrait  of  Sir  Thomas  himself  bad 
preTiously  to  his  death  bern  published ; 
except  that  his  figure,  with  those  of  bis 
two  brothers  and  his  sister,  exists  in  a 
well-known  series  of  prints,  after  West- 
all,  illustratire  of  the  ceremonies  of  tbe 
church.  About  three  years  ago,  he  told 
Mr.  Acraman,  of  Bristol,  that  be  never 
painted  a  portrait  of  himself  but  once ; 
although  be  intended  to  do  it,  and  to 
present  it  to  bis  native  city.  ''  But," 
said  be,  *'  should  I  fail  to  do  so,  and  you 
can  find  out  the  portrait  that  I  painted 
of  Curran,  tbe  barrister,  one  of  myself 
might  be  found  under  it."  This  por- 
trait of  Curran  is  In  tbe  possession  of 
tbe  Rev.  John  Taylor,  of  Clifton.  Iti  a 
letter  to  J.  S.  HarfonI,  Esq.,  written 
about  two  years  since.  Sir  Thomas  ex- 
pressed his  intention  of  presenting  his 
portrait,  through  him,  to  tbe  Bristol 
Institution.  The  same  intention  is  also 
mentioned  in  letters  to  Mr.  Acraman, 
at  whose  request,  his  friend,  G.  Morant, 
Esq.  recently  culled  on  Sir  Thomas  to 
inquire  if  the  portrait  was  likely  to  be 
finished  in  time  fur  tbe  Bristol  exhibi- 
tion in  the  present  year.  Sir  Thomas 
showed  that  gentleman  tbe  portrait  in 
a  very  forward  state,  and  said,  it  was 
bis  intention  sboKly  to  finish  it  and  send 
it  to  Bristol ;  at  the  same  time  he  apo- 
logised for  the  delay  that  bad  occurred 
in  the  fulfilment  of  this  intention. 

The  Monday  in  the  week  following 
that  ill  which  be  died,  bad  been  ap- 
pointed by  Sir  Thomas,  to  sit  for  a  bust 
to  bis  friend  and  fellow-townsman,  Ed- 
ward II.  Baily,  Esq.  R.A.  Under  this 
circumstance  Mr.  Baily  was  allowed  to 
take  a  cast  of  tbe  President's  face  after 
death  ;  tbe  same  privilege  being  granted 
to  one  other  person  only— Mr.  Chantery. 
Mr.  Baily  intends  to  proceed  immediately 
with  his  bust,  as  well  as  with  a  model 
for  a  medal,  to  be  engraved  by  Mr.Scipio 
Clint,  tbe  medallist  to  tbe  King.  One 
of  the  first  copies  of  the  bust  is  intended 
by  Mr.  Baily  to  grace  the  statuary-room 
of  the  Bristol  Institution,  and  thus  fulfil 

'■/  if  kaowD  to  have  been  one  of  tbe 


President's  wishes.  We  will  not  leave 
tbe  subject  of  Lawrence's  birtb-plaee 
without  inserting  one  of  his  letters  to  tbe 
above  named  Mr.  Acraman,  which  has 
been  recently  published.  From  tbe  re- 
spect entertained  in  tbe  place  of  bU 
birth  for  Sir  Thomas's  cbaraeter,  as 
well  as  for  his  talents,  be  was  ptasented 
with  the  freedom  of  the  city  in  the 
spring  of  last  year,  at  tbe  same  time 
that  a  similar  compliment  was  paid  to 
Lord  Eldon.  The  following  is  bis  reply 
to  tbe  communication. 

<<  Rustell-gquare,  Jpril  9,  18S9. 
<'  My  dbar  Sir, 

*'  Your  kind  assurance  now  con- 
firms to  me,  that  I  have  received  from 
my  naiive  city  the  very  highest  honour 
(the  protection  of  Majesty  excepted) 
that  could  have  rewarded  my  profes- 
sional exertions ;  I  beg  3rou  to  express 
to  those  of  your  friends  who,  with  your- 
self, have  generously  assisted  in  pro- 
curing ir,  the  sincere  gratitude  and  re- 
spect with  which  it  has  impressed  me, 
and  the  attachment  it  has  strengthened 
to  the  place  <^  my  MrfA,  at  well  as  the 
leal  with  whidi  I  shall  attempt  to  for- 
ward any  measure  conducive  to  its  ho- 
nour, and  the  improvement  of  Its  refined 
establishments. 

*<  I  shall  gladly  take  advantage  of 
your  offer  for  tbe  exhibition  of  my  two 
other  pictures. 

**  Pardon  some  baste  in  which  I  write, 
and  believe  me  to  remain  with  the  high- 
est esteem.  My  dear  Sir,  your  very  fjiitb- 
ful  servant,  Thos.  Lawrbncr." 

"  ro  Z>.  ^  jicraman,  Esq.  Bristol,** 

In  another  letter,  very  recently  re- 
ceived at  Bristol,  by  Mr.JobnHare,  juii. 
Sir  Thomas,  in  enclosing  a  donation 
for  the  Anchor  Society,  expressed  him- 
self  warmly  interested  in  tbe  welfare 
of  his  native  city.  He  was  elected  an 
Honorary  Member  of  the  Philosophical 
and  Literary  Society  at  the  Bristol  In- 
stitution; and  to  tbe  Exhibition  of  Pic- 
tures in  tbe  Institution  he  often  liber- 
ally contributed,  as  a  loan,  some  of  his 
most  beautiful  performances. 

Sir  Thomas's  characteristic  benevo- 
lence, and  tbe  prompt  and  liberal  man- 
ner in  which  he  came  forward  to  patro- 
nise Danby,  on  his  leaving  Bristol  for 
London,  drew  forth  the  following  affec- 
tionate tribute  from  another  of  tbe 
gifted  sons  of  that  City—

off  earriiges  from  an  etrlj  hour  in  the 
moriiingy  by  which  meant  the  mournful 
caTftleade  preserved  due  order,  and 
reached  the  church  without  a  linf^le  in- 
terruption or  break  of  iti  extensive  line. 
The  shop  windows  were  eveiy  where 
closed.  The  streets  were  crowded  i  in- 
deed, the  Strand  and  Fleet-street  may 
be  said  to  have  been  lined  on  both  sides 
by  the  people,  who  preserved  the  most 
respectful  order ;  and  the  windows  of 
the  houses  in  the  route  of  the  proces- 
sion were  61led  with  spectators,  who 
witnessed  upon  this  occasion  the  Just 
tribute  paid  to  distinguiabed  merit  in 
perhaps  one  of  the  most  extensive  atten- 
dances of  persons  that  has  been  paid  to 
the  memorv  of  the  dead  since  the  public 
funerals  of  Nelson  and  Fitt«  No  acci- 
dent happened,  nor  did  any  untoward 
event  arise  to  interrupt  the  decorum 
and  order  of  the  scene.  Much  praise  is 
undoubtedly  due  to  the  very  excellent 
and  effective  arrangements  of  Messrs. 
Thornton  and  Son,  under  whose  sole 
control  and  direction  the  funeral  was

Oct,  15.  At  the  house  of  hit  brother- 
in-law,  Thomas  Wight,  Esq.  in  Kentiih- 
Town,  George  Dawe,  Esq.  R.  A.  Mem- 
ber of  the  Imperial  and  Royal  Academies 
of  Arta  at  St.  Petersburg,  Stockholm, 
Florence,  &c. ,  First  Painter  to  bis  Im- 
perial Majesty  the  Emperor  of  all  the 
Russias,  &c 

'  Mr.  Dawe  was  the  author  of  <<  The 
Life  of  George  Morland,  with  Remarks 
on  his  Works  1807/'  8vo.  In  this  work 
(of  which  a  critique  will  be  seen  in  the 
Monthly  Review,  N.  S.  Ivi.  357—370)  he 
aUtes  that  his  father,  Mr.  Philip  Dane, 
was  articled  to  Morland*s  father,  who 
was  a  painter  in  crayons.  We  believe 
the  elder  Dawe  was  afterwards  an  engra- 
ver in  messotinto,  employed  by  Bowles, 
of  St.  Paul's  Cburch-yard,  &c. 

From  1809  to  1818,  Mr.  Geo.  Dawe  was 
a  constant  exhibiter  at  Somerset  House, 
of  many  portraits  and  a  few  historical 
subjects.  Among  the  portraits  were  Dr. 
Parr,  Lord  Eardley,  the  Hon.  S.  E.  Eard- 
ley,  Prince  and  Princess  of  Saxe  Cobourg, 
the  Archbishop  of  Tuam,  Bishop  of  Sa« 
iisbury,  &c.  &c.  Among  the  historical 
subjects  were,*  Andromache  imploring 
Ulysses  to  spare  the  life  of  her  ton  j  Ge- 
nevive,  from  a  poem  by  T.  Coleridge, 
Esq.;  a  Child  rescued  by  Its  mother  from 
an -Eagle's  nest  \  and  a  Demoniac,  which 
he  afterwards  sent  as  a  presentation,  and 
it  now  adorns  the  Council-Room  of  the 
Royal  Academy.  He  was  elected  an  As- 
sociate in  1809,  tod  a  Royal  Academi- 
ciMD  Jo  i8J4. 


In  the  year  1816  he  painted  a  large 
whole-length  picture  of  Miss  O'Neill^  in 
the  character  of  Juliet,  which  was  ex- 
hibited by  lamp-light,  in  order  that  it 
might  he  viewed  under  the  same  cir- 
eumatances  as  the  original  was  seen  on 
the  stage.  This  portrait  waa  engraved 
ID  mesiotinto  by  Mr.  G.  Male. 

Mr.  Dawe  hat  for  the  last  few  years 
entirely  practised  his  art  upon  the  con- 
tinent, particularly  at  St.  Petersburg, 
where  his  talents  were  held  in  the  high- 
est estimation  by  the  Imperial  Family. 
He  had  arrived  in  England  only  about  six 
weeks  before  his  death ;  at  which  time 
the  following  paragraph  appeared  in  the 
newspapers  i  «<  Mr.  G.  Dawe,  R.  A.,  who 
hat  recently  arrived  in  this  country  from 
Warsaw,  where  he  had  been  engaged  in 
painting  the  Emperor  and  Empress  of 
Russia  as  King  and  Queen  of  Poland, 
and  also  the  Grand  Duke  Constantlne, 
went  to  the  Royal  Lodge,  in  Windsor- 
park,  on  Sunday,  by  command  of  the 
King,  for  the  purpose  of  showing  his 
Majesty  portraits  of  the  King  of  Prussia, 
the  Duke  of  Cumberland,  and  other 
works  executed  since  his  last  visit  to  this 
country.  His  Majesty  was  graciously 
pleased  to  express  his  approbation  of 
them,  and  honoured  Mr.  Dawe  with 
some  flattering  commissions." 

It  has  been  stated  that  Mr.  Dawe 
realised  100,000/.  by  painting  the  prin- 
cipal Sovereigns  of  Europe. 

At  the  time  of  his  arrival,  be  was  in 
an  ill  state  of  health  from  a  disease  of 
the  lungs.  His  remains  were  interred 
in  St.  Paul's  Cathedral,  attended  by  a 
long  cortege  of  artists  and  literary  meni 
the  Russian  Ambassador  and  Sir  Thomas 
Lawrence  (the  latter  of  whom  was  so 
soon  after  ;to  be  borne  to  the  same  spot) 
acting  as  pall-bearers.

Richard  FitaGcrald,  of  the  Queen's  Co.. 
M.P. 

Mrs.  FitzGerald  was  daughter  and  co- 
heir of  Fairfax  Mercer,  Esq.  of  Dublin, 

by ,  daughter  and  heir  of  William 

M*Causland,  Esq.  of  Dublin.  Fairfax 
Mercer  was  son  of  Willism  Mercer,  Esq. 
of  Dundalk,  by  Anne-Sarah,  daughter 
of  John  Baillie,  of  Inisbargie,  co.  Down, 
Esq.  M.  P.  From  a  pedigree  in  Ulster's 
oiHee,  it  appears  that  the  Issue  of  the 
said  William  Mercer,  by  his  wife  Anne- 
Sarah  Baillie,  was  Fairfax  Mercer,  as 
above,  and  two  daughters,  Dorothy,  the 
youngest,  wife  of  Ross  Moore,  Esq.  Pro-

Rkv.  WiLTsa  Birch,  B.D. 

Dee.  8.  Aged  65,  the  Rer.  Walter  Birch« 
B.D.  Rector  of  Stanway,  Essex,  and  Vicar 
of  Stanton  Bernard,  Wilu. 

He  was  the  third  son  of  the  Rer.  Tho. 
Birch,Rector  of  South  Thoresby,  oo  Jincoln, 
(by  Mary,  on^  daughter  of  Mr.  Edward 
Wright,  of  Akarkirk,  in  the  same  county,) 
who,  on  the  slender  means,  which  usually 
fill!  to  the  share  of  our  parochial  clergy, 
brought  np  a  family,  consisting  of  eight  sons 
and  two  daughters,  in  such  a  manner  as  to 
reader  them  useful  and  respectable  mem- 
bers of  society.  After  a  competent  prepa- 
ration at  home,  he  receired  his  education  at 
Rugby  school,  under  Dr.  James,  by  whose 
excellent  method  of  instruction,  together 
with  the  valuable  friendship  of  the  Assistant 
Master,  Mr.  George  Innes  (now  Master  of 
the  King's  School,  Warwick),  he  improred 
his  naturally  eood  talents  very  highly.  He 
was  distingn'isned  at  school  for  humane  feel- 
ings and  great  simplicity,  united  with  con- 
sidsrable  energy  of  character,  qualities 
which  he  retained  unimpaired  to  the  end  of 
life.  At  Oxford,  as  a  Demy  and  Fellow  of 
Msgdalen  College,  where  he  proceeded  MA. 
1798,  B.D.  1805,  he  was  respected  by 
many  good  and  literarv  men,  not  only  for 
these  virtues,  but  fbr  tne  purity  of  his  man- 
ners, and  for  his  classical  taste  and  acqwre- 
ments.  Having  been  appointed  tutor  to  the 
present  Earl  of  Pembroke,  who  was  then  at 
Harrow  School,  and  whom  he  accompanied 
to  Oxford,  he  was  presented  by  the  late  Earl, 
in  1819,  to  the  Rectory  of  Stanton  Bernard 
in  Wituhire.  Af^rwards,  in  1817,  he  also 
took  a  valuable  College  living,  Stanway,  in 
Essex. 

As  a  Christian,  those  who  knew  him  best 
will  ackoowledgc  that  none  could  better  de- 
serve the  encomium  of  being  **  an  Israelite 
indeed,  in  whom  there  was  no  guile."  As 
a  clergyman,  he  was  firmly  attached  to  our 
National  Church,  but  without  any  bitter- 
ness towards  those  that  diffsred  from  it.  As 
a  scholar,  he  was  remarkable  for  that  keen 
perception  of  the  highest  beauties  in  the  an- 
cient writers,  which  it  Is  the  lot  of  so  few 
to  attain.  With  these  endowments,  it  is  to 
be  regretted  that  we  can  eoumerate  no  more 
likao  the  following  writings  which  he  pub- 
lubed:  in  I  BOO,  **  A  SnrnoD,  preached  in 


Mr.  Lilly  Wioo,  F.  L  S. 

March  89,  1898.  At  Great  Yarmouth, 
in  his  80th  year,  Mr.  Lilly  Wigg,  F.  L.  S. 
a  man  of  no  ordinary  talents  and  acquire- 
ments, nor  so  eutirely  unknown  to  fkme 
that  his  death  deserved  to  have  passed  thus 
long  unrecorded. 

He  was  a  native  of  Smallburgh,  in  Nor- 
folk, where  he  was  bom  on  Christmas  day, 
1749.  His  father,  poor  but  respectable, 
was  a  shoemaker,  and  brought  up  hi*  son  for 
the  same  trade }  but  the  young  man  left  it 
before  he  was  twenty  years  old,  and  having 
received  a  respectable  village  education,  and 
being  always  fond  of  books,  removed  to 
Yarmouth,  and  established  himself  as  a 
schoolmaster.    In  this  situation,  more  con- 

fsnial  to  his  inclination,  but  very  little  pro- 
table  to  fab  pocket,  he  continued  till  the 
year  1801,  when  he  was  persuaded  to  re- 
linquish it  for  the  place  of  a  clerk  in  the 
Bank  of  Gurneys  and  Turner,  and  there  be 
remained  so  long  as  he  lived.  Mr.  Turner 
and  he  had  been  broueht  together  some 
vears  previously  by  their  mutual  taste  for 
botany;  the  same  cause  had  befbre  that 
time  procured  Mr.  Wigg  the  acquaintance 
of  Dr.  Aikio,  long  a  resident  in  Yarmouth, 
of  the  Hon.  T.  Weoman,  of  Mr.  Woodward, 
of  Dr.  Smith,  of  the  Rev.  Norton  Nicholls, 
and  of  many  other  gentlemen  of  similar  pur- 
suits, who  were  in  the  habit  of  visiting  the 
town.  At  what  period  of  his  life  Mr.  Wlj^s 
attachment  to  bouoy  first  manifested  itself 
is  not  known ;  but  it  is  believed  that  it 


veiv  early ;  and,  so  long  as  he  had  healdi 
and  strength,  (bw  men  pursued  the  stody 
with  more  energy,  or,  as  far  as  his  limited 
means  would  allow,  with  more  success.  The 
neighbourhood  of  Yarmouth  was  necessarily 
his  great  field  of  action  s  and  this  he  inves- 
tigated with  uncommon  care,  and  made  in  ft 
more  than  one  addition  to  the  list  of  Britis 
fivwering  plants,  besides  many  among  th

servient  to  the  better  feelings  of  duty  and 
affection  y  by  which  every  part  of  h'la  domes- 
tie  conduct  was  influenced. 

The  following  tribute  to  the  memory  of 
Mr.  W.  £.  Touke  appeared  in  the  Morrtitig 
Chronicle : — **  The  loss  of  this  amiable, 
able*  and  a^on:plished  young  gentleman, 
produced  a  great  sensation  yeet^ay.  He 
was  a  youth  of  great  promise,  and,  by  all 
who  had  the  happinesa  of  knowing  him,  he 
was  exceedingly  beloved.  A  more  generous 
and  benevnient  heart  than  his  never  beat 
within  a  human  bosom.  His  range  of  in- 
formation was  unusually  extensive  fur  his 
vears*  and  his  judgment  was  excellent.  He 
liad  already  written  several  treatises  which 
were  much  esteemed;  and,  with  his  resMrch 
and  sagacity,  and  uncompromising  love  of 
tru^,  nad  his  life  been  spared,  he  could  not 
have  failed  to  become  one  of  the  chief  orna* 
ments  of  his  age." 

His  remains  were  interred  on  the  following 
Tuesday,  in  the  church  of  St.  George* 
Bloomtbury ;  end  attended  to  the  gmve  by 
hia  immediate  reUtions  and  by  many  sin- 
cerely sorrowing  friends,  as  well  of  those 
more  matured  in  life,  whose  confidence  and 
approbation  he  had,  by  bis  many  amiable 
qualities  and  undeviating  correctness  of  con- 
duct* conciliated,  as  also  by  several  young 
men  who  were  treading  equal  steps  with  him 
in  the  patlis  of  usefulneu.  Of  the  fiirroer 
description  were  Sir  J.  W.  Lubbock;  W.

Walk  through  the  Highlands. 


[Rlarch, 


^ Walk  throooh  thb  Highlands. 

(Continued  from  page  198.) 

IMMEDIATELY  on  quitting  Dum- 
bartoii,  we  crossed  the  Leven,  and, 
according  to  some,  entered  on  the 
Highlands.  Generally  speaking,  how- 
ever, they  are  said  to  commence  at 
I.4ISS.  Soon  after  this  we  passed  the 
monument,  by  the  road  side,  erected 
to  the  memory  of  Dr.  Smollett,  and 
were  within  view  of  the  family  man- 
sion. I  do  not  recollect  that  there  is 
any  thing  particularly  elegant  in  this 
monument,  neither  is  the  situation  of 
it  happy,  except  in  as  far  as  regards 
poblicity.  The  roads  here  are  un* 
commonly  good,  and  the  neighbour- 
hood  populous,  with  several  l>leach- 
liekU. 

At  this  spot  we  were  joined  by  a 
dirty  and  right  villanous-looking  fel- 
low, with  a  pack  at  his  back,  who 
seemed  determined  to  favour  us  with  his 
company.  At  first  we  were  shy;  but  he 
persevered,  and,  in  the  end,  we  gained 
from  him  some  useful  information.  He 
was  a  Highlander,  and  had  a  perfect 
knowledge  of  the  whole  country  and 
its  inhabitants,  in  high  or  low  land. 
Hf  had  travelled  repeatedly  over  the 
borders,  and  been  as  far  south  as  York. 
Finally,  it  appeared  that  he  was  a 
whiskey  smuggler,  and  with  this  de- 
lightful beverage  he  travels  all  over 
Scotland.  If  this  is  found  upoQ  him 
by  the  ^vemment-offioers, 

\*  Thae  curst  horM-lcechei  o'  th'Exoite, 
Wha  mak  the  whiskej-itilli  their  prise," 

be  is  instantly  deprived  of  his  whole 
cargo.  But  tnis  is  the  only  punish- 
ment ;  "  for  as  yet,"  says  be,  "  there  is 
no  transporting  in  onr  country."  He 
now  spoke  English  well,  although  at 
the  age  of  twenty-five,  he  said  he  was 
anable  to  utter  a  word  of  that  lan- 
goase. 

'  The  first  view  which  we  had  of 
Loch  Lomond  was  infinitely  more 
beautiful  than  I  have  words  to  express. 
The  day  was  fine,  and  very  warm, 
thongh  not  without  a  refreshing  breeze. 
The  waves  of  the  Lake  rolled  stilly  aud 
placidly  to  the  shore,  reflecting,  in  the 
most  vivid  manner,  heaven's  blue  con- 
cave. We  had  a  view  of  several  of 
the  Islands,  clad  in  the  freshest  ver- 
dure; of  the  house  of  Cameron,  most 
romantically  situated  on  the  water's 
edge,  yet  "  bosomed  high  in  tufted 
trees;*'  and  of  Ben  Lomond,  at  the 
further  extremity  of  the  Lake.  At  the 
spot  where  we  rested,  ihc  wild  flowcis 
"rom  the  hedges  dispensed  the  most 


grateful  fragrance;  and,  alto^ther,  I 
felt  the  scene  highly  exhilarating. 
Here,  too,  the  sides  ot  thp  rosMl  were 
adorned  with  foxgWe  in  great  abun- 
dance, and  in  full  lloom,  with  varloos 
other  flowers,  which,  without  being 
rare,  were  notwithstanding  beautiful. 

*<  The  droopinff  Aih,  wad  Birch,  betwceo, 
Haog  their  nir  tresses  o'er  the  gteen. 
And  all  beneath,  at  random  grow 
Each  coppice  dwarf  of  varied  show. 
Or  round  the  stems  profusely  twined, 
Fliog  summer  odoun  on  the  wind." 

Before  parting,  our  Highlander  told 
us,  that  in  the  Loch  were  as  many  as 
thl  *y  islands,  on  one  of  which,  be- 
longing, 1  think,  to  the  Duke  of  Mon- 
trose, there  were  deer.  He  also  pointed 
out  to  us  Inch  Murreik,  on  which,  he 
informed  us,  there  is  an  asylum  for  the 
"  daft  people."  He  moreover  told  us 
that  the  water,  within  a  certain  number 
of  years,  had  encroached  considerably 
on  the  land ;  and,  at  some  distance  in 
the  Lake,  pointed  out  to  us  a  spot 
where  there  was  formerly  a  church, 
parts  of  which  are,  at  times,  still 
visible. 

The  Islands  of  Loch  Lomond  are 
supposed  to  form  part  of  the  Grampian 
chain,  which  terminates  here  on  the 
west.  The  depth  of  this  Lake,  on  the 
south,  is  not  above  twenty  fathoms; 
but  the  northern  Creek,  near  the  bot- 
tom of  Ben  Lomond,  is  from  sixty  to 
eighty  fathoms.  Pennant  makes  its 
length  twenty-four  Scotch  miles;  ita 
greatest  breadth,  eight  miles. 

We  arrived  at  Loss  aboot  four :  andj 
because  we  wished  to  be  at  the  foot  of 
Ben  Lomond,  ready  to  start  for'  its 
summit  in  the  morning,  procured  a 
boat  to  cross  to  Rowerdenan,  a  solitary 
house,  which  we  reached  about  biilr- 
paat  seven.  The  mountain  looked  more 
frowningly  than  ever,  still  thicker  mists 
majestically  sailing  along  its  sides ;  and 
it  appeared  that  we  had  little  chance 
of  a  fine  day  for  our  ascent  on  the 
morrow.  The  mist  had  the  appearance 
of  vast  columns  of  steam ;  and,  on 
some  parts,  it  seemed  to  hang  suspend- 
ed like  a  water-spout.  Altogether  the 
phenomenon,  to  an  inexperienced  eye, 
was  very  striking,  and  right  melancholy, 
and  I  already  fancied  myself  in  the 
land  of  heroes,  listening  to  the  songs  of 
other  times. 

We  had  thought  Luss  miserable, 
and  we  scarcely  found  ourselves  better 
off  here.  Wc  requested  some  tea,  tbat 
soother  of  all  sorrows,  and  retired  to 
bed.  Mv  Toom  ^v  \.V\«  ume  was  under

Which  ^T«  it  ill  ilaaivout?" 
The  morning  of  Thouday,  the  1  Ith, 
had  a  itill  more  unpropiiious  appear- 
ance. Thick  and  iiiipeneirable  clouds 
had  saiherrd  on  the  head  of  Ben  Lo- 
mond, nod  the  wind  howled  inoatpof^t- 
taHg.  Sliotling  into  the  woods,  which 
are  here  very  ex.ienjive,  and  conrcd 
with  the  most  heautiful  heath*,  we. re- 
enjoyed  a  view  of  the  Lake.  On  our 
return  along  lU  ahores,  wc  obwrved 
two  boili  making  for  our  Aalel ;  the 
one  cutiiaining  a  gentlenian  and  two 
ladies,  the  other  iheir  carriage.  W« 
rrjoicetl  at  llie  light,  thinking  that,  if 
■hey  were  compatiinnable  souls,  they 
would  irfve  10  diuipaie  ihe  lolitudc  of

had  croutd  the  Uikc,  like  ourielvcs, 
with  a  view  of  itscGndini{  Ben  Lomond. 
The  gtntUnun  had  |>erfurnied  lhi>  feat 
belbrf,  and  had  no  wiih  to  repeat  the 
eaperimcni.  We  were  iheiefore  to  be 
(be  ladiei'  conductots,  attd  we  com* 
incncrd  out  ascent  about  mid -day. 
One  of  the  lidiei  wai  placed  on  an 
bill  iiid  tteady  gray  charger,  well-used 
to  the  rocky  and  uneven  loid  over 
which  he  was  to  pass;  und  his  rider 
teemed  to  proceed  without  much  ap- 
prehension. The  rest  of  the  party 
walked.  Having  Dsccndrd  lomewhat 
tnoTcthan  o  mile,  we  had  a  lolerahlc 
*ietv  of  the  Ldke  and  its  Illandi. 
Shortly  aflrr  ihii  ii  began  to  rain,  and 
every  ohjeci  wse  luddcnly  snatched 
from  our  view.  A(  length,  after  an 
bour't  march,  we  were  coinplcielj  en- 
leloped  in  the  thick  mitli  hovering 
tmr  the  tummil,  and  very  speedily 
wci  thmugb.  Wc  paued  setenl  mu- 
raam  or  ifiiiiigi  oii   tile  side  of  the 


i» 

hen  we  were  freouentljp 
ankle-deep  in  the  mire,  or  in  the  gnk 
lers  made  by  the  tntrenta,  and  oft** 
concealed  by  rushes  and  long  grai^ 
Wc  had  thut  not  only  to  encouot|^ 
wet  and  dirt,  but  some  danger.  Tby' 
day  was,  in  fact,  most  miierable ;  jif 
we  determined  not  to  return  till  w« 
had  gained  the  tumniit.  At  the  hwt 
stage,  we  left  the  old  horse,  topfi 
lome  Tcrreshment,  and  proceeded.  OmE 
clothes  were,  at  ihia  time,  on  the  siijf 
from  which  the  wind  hlew,  complctql}^ 
covered  wiih  a  hoar  frost,  and  it  MW 
intensely  cold ;  yet  we  heeded  it  not, 
but  arrived  al  the  highest  point  Itt 
Bafeiy.  Storms  and  thick  daiknen  luN 
rounded  us  on  all  sides.  We  beat, 
over  the  well-known  precipice,  t^ 
could  only  behold  the  thick  miit 
ing  below  us.  The  sight,  nolw  .._ 
standing,  w8b  really  grand,  and  lb* 
gulf  below  horrible. 

After  resting  a  sufficient  time  on  Ll 
aumniil,  and  congraialating  ourschrflSr' 
upon  attaining  il,  we  prepared  to  d» 
■cend,  and  came  down  right  metril* 
till  we  observed  our  guide  to  wave 
and,  long  before  he  confessed  il,  i 
fell  certain  that  he  had  inisicd  hit  wi 
At  length  be  wei  obliged  to  stop  ai 
recnnnoiire.     We  could  see  but  a  ve^ 

few  yards  before  us,  and  our  situation 
was  any  thing  but  agreeable.  Ws 
wandered  altogether  at  random  fi 
very  considerable  time,  and  in  a  di 
lion,  as  it  appeared  to  me,  quite  difr 
ferent  from  that  by  which  we  bid 
ucended.  We  did  not,  however,  think 
it  expedient  to  interfere  wiih  ourgui^ 
n  ho  yet  seemed  very  ready  to  tate  any 
advice.  Al  leQglli  we  carne  lo  a  me 
tain-stream,  and  followed  its  coi 
downwards.  The  walking,  for  ii  _.. 
there  was  none,  was  now  really  fiighk 
ful.  At  one  moment  wo  were  i 
morass,  tho  next  enUingled  in

with  much  resolution,  yet  were  we  M 
DO  meunf  sorry  when  we  got  a  tight  al 
the  Lake,  and  linally  of  out  inn.  t 

Tbe  height  of  Ben  Lomond  it  conif

considerable  swell ;  and  at  times  our 
guide  iu formed  us,  ihe  navigation  tvas 
very  hazardous,  owing  to  the  squalls, 
or  sudden  gosts  of  wind,  from  the 
mountains.  The  water  was  beautifolly 
clear,  and  transparent  to  a  very  con- 
siderable depth. 

From  Invernglass  Ferry  the  road 
was  excellent,  winding  along  the  bor- 
ders of  the  Lake,  and  partly  cut  out  of 
the  huge  masses  of  overhanging  rock^ 
not  without  an  immense  expenditure 
of  labour  and  money.  By  the  side  of 
the  road  we  did  not  fail  to  observe, 

'*  Copioot  of  flowers*  the  iroodbiae  pale

Few,  however,  were  the  passengers  to 
enjoy  its  fragrance.  1  believe,  on  this 
day,  we  haa  it  all  to  ourselves.  I  do 
not  recollect  encountering  even  a  shep- 
herd or  his  dog.  The  admirable  state  of 
the  roads  in  these  solitary  wilds  at  first 
surprised  us  considerably ;  but,  when 
once  made,  they  are  indestructible. 

Between  one  and  two  we  arrived  at 
Arroquar  Inn,  a  house  standing  alone 
at  the  head  of  Loch  Long,  and  sur- 


Highiana  cniettam; 
and  on  entering  the  house,  I  think 
we  learnt  that  it  had  actually  been  the 
residence  of  a  Highland  family,  and 
not  very  long  relinquished.  The  rooms 
were  large  &nd  gloomy,  the  furniture 
of  every  description  corresponding ;  the 
wainscoting  of  oak ;  the  tables,  win- 
dows, and  fire-place,  truly  baronial. 
Aftec  a  sufficient  rest,  we  proceeded. 

It  now  occurred  to  us  very  forcibly 
that  we  were  in  the  Highlands.  The 
hills,  the  roads,  the  lakes,  were  soch 
as  we  had  anticipated.  A  few  misera- 
ble firs,  here  and  there,  served  to  point 
out  the  abode  of  man ;  or,  perhaps,  a 
solitary  and  half-blasted  pine  waved  its 
branches,  in  undisturbed  melancholy, 
over  some  tall  cliff.  Loch  Lons,  by 
the  side  of  which  we  were  travelling, 
is  a  salt-water  lake,  dreary,  cold,  and 
comfortless ;  and  we  could  not  avoid 
contrasting  iu  shores  with  those  of  the 
beautiful  and  highly-favoured  Lqf^h 
Lomond,  which  we  had  so  lately 
quitted— the  latter  gently  rolling  its 
pellucid  waves  to  the  shore,  over  peb- 
bles without  a  weed,  and  hiding  them 
under  its  banks,  fringed  with  alder  and 
hazles — the  former,  disturbed,  salt,  and 
boisterous— its  shores,  from  the  filthy 
aad  co/Jcctcd  sea- weed,  resembling  the 
sweepiogs  ofthcAugeaa  stable. 


Hastening  our  steps,  we  soon  arrived 
at  Glen  Croe.  We  had  thought  Loch 
Long  horrible,  but  this  s|x>t  far  sur- 
passed it.  Besides,  it  was  now  raining 
very  hard.  The  swollen  streams  were 
continually  crossing  the  road,  and  were 
at  first  vexatious,  because  they  prevent- 
ed OS  looking  for  stepping-stones.  At 
length  they  became  so  numerous,  that 
we  walked  through  them  without  fur- 
ther trouble. 

The  road  was  here  uncommonly 
steep,  almost  overhung  by  the  huge 
mountain- masses  bounding  its  sides, 
and  we  now  seemed  altcM^ther  ex- 
cluded from  the  haunts  of  men.  A 
dismal  rivulet  foamed  by  the  side  of 
the  road,  into  which  hastened  num- 
berless mountain-streams,  causing  a 
noise  of  many  waters.  A  few  wan- 
dering sheep  were  scattered  over  the 
aides  of  the  mountain.  With  a  good 
road  under  our  feet,  in  summer,  and 
without  a  possibility  of  missing  our 
way,  the  scene  was  tremendous.  W  hat, 
then,  must  it  have  been  in  older  times, 
without  a  road,  and  amidst  the  dark- 
ness of  a  night  in  winter  ? 

At  length  we  reached  the  summit 
of  the  hill,  and  arrived  at  Rest-and-be 
thankful,  which  is  a  stone,  with  a 
suiuble  inscription,  placed  by  the  sol- 
diers of  the  23d  regiment,  by  whose 
labour  the  road  was  begun  and  finished. 
Here  we  at  last  rested  for  a  short 
space,  and  reviewed  the  road  we  had 
pisssed.  We  ap|)eared  to  have  arrived 
at  the  end  of  all  things ;  and  I  think 
my  friend  remarked,  that  the  adjoining 
rocks,  and  scenery  altoeether,  appeared 
to  him  as  the  offal,  or  rubbish-materials, 
thrown  aside  after  the  creation  of  hap- 
pier parts  of  the  world — and  which, 
stubborn,  unwedgable,  unmalleable, 
must  e\-er  continue  to  frown  in  this 
their  primaeval  and  chaotic  slate — 
without  form  and  void. 

From  Rest-and-be- thankful  nothing 
attracted  our  attention  till  wc  arrived 
at  Ardkinglass,  a  good  house  on  the 
left,  immediately  before  entering  Cairn- 
dow  ;  the  end  of  our  |)eregrinations  for 
the  day.  As  we  passed,  it  appeared  to 
us  very  snug  and  comforuble,  for  it 
was  in  a  sheltered  situation,  surrounded 
by  policies  of  tolerable  growth.  We 
arrived  at  the  inn  at  Cairndow,  on 
Loch  Fyne,  a  quarter  after  six,  wet, 
and  much  fatigued ;  but  we  found 
civility  and  comfort,  and  what  more 
can  there  be  iu  the  mansions  of  lairds 
or  chieftains  ?

possibility  that  Junius  should  have  been  in 
Paris  at  the  said  conflagration,  unless  he 
were  a  prisoner  of  war :  even  tlien  it  is  not 
likely  liis  quarters  would  Iwve  been  in  the 
capital.  On  reference  to  <  La  Vie  de  fiu- 
semliaum,'  I  find  there  have  been  several 
confla(p«tions  of  bis  works :  one  on  March 
10,  1758.;  also  Sept.  9, 1757  ;  probably  se- 
veral other  times  at  an  earlier  period.  *  The 
Edinburgh  Review,'  Nov.  1817,  tells  us, 
that  Francis  was  merely  a  clerk  in  the 
Foreign  Office  In  1756,  remained  until  1758, 
when  he  went  with  General  Bligh,  as  se- 
cretary, to  the  cspeditioo  to  St.  Cass  ne- 
ver ]«pded;  returned  home;  in  England 
uptil  1761 9  when  ha  went  with  LordlCin* 
noul  to  lisboo,  by  sea ;  returned  home  ia 
October  of  the  saaie  year,  and  was  appoinicd 
to  a  situation  in  the  War-Office  i  so  that, 
admitting  Junius,  against  all  probability, 
was  in  Piuras  in  Aug.  1 761,  it  is  evident  Frai|i> 
cis.was  not  there,  being  then  in  Lisbon." 

The  date  of  the  burning  of  the 
Jesuitical  books  at  Paris,in  Aug.  176I, 
furnishes  a  most  decisive  fact  against 
the  claims  made  for  Burke;  for,  on 
reference  to  the  biography  of  Bnrko 
(which  I  have  not  at  hand),  I  think  it 
will  appear  that  he  did  not  visit  Paris 
till  1772.

doin^  justice  to  the  memory  of  Sir 
Philip  Francis,  as  I  have  been  unin- 
tentionally instrumental  in  pro)>agating 
some  calumnious  and  false  statementa 
respecting  him.  Ip  p.  8g  of  my  book 
I  nave.qooted  the  followii^  passage 
from  Capt.  Medwin*s  "  Convenations 
with  Lord  Byron  ;'* . 

«c  <  Do  you  thbk  (asked  I)  that  Sir  Walter 
Scott's  Noveb  owe  .any  part  of  their  leputa- 
tioA  to  the  concealment  of  the  autnor'a 
name  ? '  '  No,'  said  Lord  Byron,  '  suck 
wwks  do  not  gain  or  lose  by  it.  I  am  at  a 
loss  to  know  hiB  reason  for  not  giving  up 
the  tnoogm/o,  but  that  the  reigning  fiunily 
could  not  have  been  very  well  pleased  witn 
Waverley*.  There  is  a  degree  of  Charla- 
tanism in  some  autliors  keeping  up  the  un- 
known. Junius  owed  much  of  his  fame  to 
thu  trick ;  and  now  that  it  Is  known  to  be 


*  Ou  this  point  Lord  Byron's  sentiments, 
(as  stated  by  Capt.  Medwin,)  have  long  since 
proved  erroneous.  Some  of  Byron's  alleged 
assertions  on  the  subjecti  particularly  re- 
specting an  interview  between  his  Lordship 
and  Sir  Walter  Scott  in  Murray's  shop,  have 
1)een  denied  by  the  Novelist,  in  his  Ute  Pre- 
face; and  Byron's  ridiculous  notion,  that 
Waverley  gave  offence  to  the  reigning  fiunily, 
finds  the  most  complete  refutation  in  the 
dedication  uf  tlic  new  edition  to  bit  Ma- 
jesty.— Edit.

A  political  writer,  and  one  who  deiceuds  to 
penonalitie*,  luch  as  disgrace  Juniu8>  should 
be  immaculate  as  a  public  as  well  as  a  private 
character ;  aod  Sir  Philip  was  neither.  Ha 
had  his  price,  and  was  gagged  by  being  sent 
to  India.  He  there  seduced  another  man*! 
wife.  It  would  have  been  a  new  case  for  a 
Judge  to  sit  in  judgment  on  himself  in  a 
€rim»  eon.  It  seems  tnat  his  conjugal  felicity 
WM  not  great ;  for,  when  his  wife  died,  he 
CUM  into  the  room  where  they  were  sitting 
up  with  the  corpse,  and  said,  <  Solder  her 
npf  solder  her  up!*  He  saw  his  daughter 
crying,  and  scolded  her,  saying,  *  An  old 
hag,  she  onght  to  hava  died  thirty  years 
ago!'  He  married,  shortly  after,  a  young 
woman.  He  hated  Hastings  to  a  violent 
degree.  All  he  hoped  and  prayed  for,  was 
lo  outlive  him.  But  many  of  the  newspapers 
of  the  day  are  written  as  well  as  Junius.'  ' 

This  passage  was  extracted  into  va- 
rioQs  periodicals  at  the  time  of  its  first 
appearance  in  Captain  Medwin*s  book; 
and  as  there  was  no  public  contrndic- 
tion  gtren  to  the  slanderous  statements, 
no  doubt,  in  many  quarters,  they  were 
regarded  as  tme.  But  a  friend,  who  is 
acc^uainted  with  the  daughter  of  Sir 
Philip  Francis,  made  the  following 
communication  to  me,  which  I  am 
happy  to  make  public : — **  The  story," 
she  savs,  "  is  an  infamous  falsehood ; 
that  she  was  with  her  mother  during 
her  last  illness,  and  remained  in  the 
house  subseouent  to  that  melancholy 
event,  and  inat  her  father  never  con- 
ducted himself  with  the  monstrous 
impropriety,  never  uttered  the  barba- 
rous expressions  there  imputed  to  him  ; 
and  he  did  not  marry  again  for  seven 
years  after  the  occurrence  in  question. 
Mr.  P'rancis  (the  son)  had  intended 
prosecuting  Captain  Mcdwin  and  his 
publishers ;  but  ill  health,  and  a  domes- 
tic misfortune  (the  loss  of  an  amiable 
and  beloved  wife)  have  prevented  his 
making  any  kind  of  exertion.*' 

It  may  be  iniereRting  to  some  of 
your  readers,  to  know  that  the  question 
about  the  authorship  of  **  junius*s 
Letters**  has  been  much  agitated  in

long  article,  which  takes  for  its  text 
the  first-mentioned  of  these  books, 
"  Junius  Unmasked,"  and  in  which 
the  pretensions  of  Sir  Philip  Francis 
are  refuted  at  much  length,  and  those 
of  Lord  George  Sackville  are  enforced. 

My  intelligent  correspondent,  John 
Pickering,  Esq.  in  a  letter  dated  Boston, 
U.S.  Not.  30, 1829,  writes  to  me  thus  : 

**  I  perceive  a  work  on  '  Junius*  just 
announced  as  coming  out  this  winter, 
which  I  will  forward  to  you.  This  is 
announced  with  some  pretensions,  as 
demonstrating  '  Junius'  to  have  been 
the  work  of  an  English  Peer,  to  whom 
it  has  never  been  attributed."

PUBLIC  attention  is  benefictally 
elicited  to  lamentable  defects  in 
leading  Institutions,  by  attempts  to 
state  them,  and  to  suggest  remedies, 
or  some  alleviation  of  a  positive  and 
crying  evil,  through  the  channel  of 
widely-circulating  periodical  publica- 
tions. The  Court  of  Chancer v, 
originally  intended  as  a  court  of  con- 
science and  equity,  to  soften  and  tem- 
per the  asperities  of  common  law, 
corresponded,  during  a  long  period, 
with  the  beneficent  design  of  its  in- 
stitution ;  but,  in  process  of  time,  an 
unfortunate  disposition  to  litigation,  too 
generally  prevalent,  removed  to  a  court 
distinguished  by  the  fairness  of  its  de- 
cisions so  vast  a  multiplicity  of  cases, 
as  to  exclude  all  possibility  of  the  more 
early  or  speedy  determination.  In  this 
state  of  things  rules  and  forms,  un- 
avoidably of  a  tedious  and  vexatious 
description,  were  introduced,  ostensi- 
bly for  the  maintenance  of  due  order, 
method,  and  regularity,  but  very  de- 
structive of  the  pro|)eriy  unfortunately 
involved.  A  jusi  and  slow  decision,

subject  before  Parlisnienl,  proposini; 
ameliorations  of  a  »y5iem  ihe  toujce  of 
to  much  solid  misery. 

The  only  eisenlial  improvement  in- 
iroduecd,  was  thai  of  appointing;  an 
ttsiiilani  judge  lo  the  Lord  Chancellor. 
It  was  foreseen,  us  appears  to  be  the 
fact,  thai  where  there  wis  such  Bc- 
camolitcd  evil  to  be  remedied,  this 
inadequate  assistance  could  haie  but 
■n  inconeidcnble  cficct.  The  measure, 
feeble  as  it  wan,  sufficiently  evinced, 
however,  that  the  appointment  of  ad- 
ditional Chancery  Judges  was  the  pre- 
cise remedy  wanted  ;  with,  also,  the 
abo1i[ioii  of  useless  lecbnicalitics,  and 
modes  of  proceeding,  fuHy  proved  to 
be  good  for  nothing  more  than  to  pro- 
duce delay  and  an  unnecessary  increase 
nf  expense.  It  then  clearly  appears, 
that  a  principle  has  been  practically 
•dmiited  and  established  for  obviating, 
in  future,  a  national  reproach,  which 
Km  existed,  is  prevalent  in  the  Court 
of  Chancery,  and  M'hich  it  concctni 
the  public  credit  tu  have  diminished. 
All  this  bein^  unquestionable,  the 
mode  most  desirable  and  least  expen- 
sive for  ejecting  a  great  ^ood,  and  re- 
moving  an  inl^crable  evil,  remains  lo 
be  considered,  ll  is  evident  that  all 
our  learned  aod  excellent  Judges  are 
nifiicieolly  occupied  ;  and  he  must  be 
btita  tupcilicial  and  shallow  observer, 
who  has  not  noticed  the  zeal,  labour, 
and  ability  wiih  which  these  excellent 
men,  in  advanced  life,  diicharge  their 
miM  important  duties.  Our  learned 
Serjetints-aulaw  are  generally  men  of 
disungaithed  laleots,  who,  after  long 
ptftctice  and  experience, become  Judges 
U  vacaocie*  occur,  and  therefore  they 
Kie  adequate  to  every  doty  required  on 
the  Bench.    The  Augean  italic  le- 


mj^ 


quires  lo  be  cleansed;  or,  in  other 
words,  ail  the  cases  in  Chancery  ought 
(a  be  decided.  To  achieve  this,  let  six 
of  llie  legal  Serjeants  best  calculated 
for  the  task  be,  with  ati  adequate  al- 
lowance, nominated  [o  act  as  Judges 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Lord  Chan- 
cellor. Probably  two  of  the  Exche- 
quer Judges,  who  have  least  to  do, 
might  be  conjoined.  Where  it  the 
allowance  to  these  temporary  Judges  to 
come  fiomt  In  favour  of  a  measure 
which  promises  the  only  chance  of 
recovering  their  property,  now  despe- 
rately situated,  the  much  lo  be  pitied 
suiiori  would  rMdII;  acquiesce  in  hav- 
ing the  enormous  sum  in  Chancery 
assessed,  in  order  lo  accomplish  the 
great  object  in  view.  This  once  ef- 
fected, the  temporary  Judges  will  be 
no  lon^r  reaulsile,  and  in  future  all 
cases  will  be  decided  without  delay.

ith  a 


view  of  inilocing  those  better  qualified 
to  propose  something  better,  in  a  case 
of  indispensable  neccstiiy,  and  impli- 
cating the  national  honour. 

The  philanthropic  investigations  of 
the  Sol icilor .general  into  most  dis- 
tressing cases  of  unintended  severe 
sufTerinsB  in  prison,  and  the  Lord 
Chancellor's  humane  resolution  to  ob- 
viate such  in  future,  give  additional 
interest  and  force  lo  what  cannot  fail 
to  arresi  the  attention  of  every  feeling 
mind.  John  Macconalb.

given  the  dimensions  of  Pelerchurch,

ArehUeclural  Remarks, 


[^fareb, 


am  risht  in  my  coiyectaret,  mutt  war- 
rant the  character  I  have  attributed  to 
it.  The  chnrch  of  East  Ham  it  very 
limilar* ;  it  has  an  eastern  chancel  of  a 
semicircular  form,  then  a  second  chan- 
ce] more  westward,  and  then  a  nave,  all 
ancient  and  in  the  circular  style ;  and 
lastly,  a  tower  of  pointed  architecture. 
*— The  existence  of  the  ancient  altar  is 
Tcry  singular:  the  destruction  of  altars 
was  one  of  the  excesses  which  reflected 
little  credit  on  the  reformers  of  the 
church  in  the  l6th  century. 

WHAPLODB  CHURCH. 

The  device  mentioned  by  the  Rev.  G. 
Oliver,  (n.  5g0)  as  existing  on  a  stone 
coffin  in  Whaplode  Church,  is  a  thun- 
derbolt,a  deviceevidently  borrowed  from 
the  Romans  (vide  Gough,  Introd.  to  Se- 
pnl.Monumeuu  in  Great  Briuin,vol.  I^ 
plate  3).  The  devices  inscribed  on  the 
other  stones  are  probably  incipient  he- 
raldic ordinaries,  which,  with  the  va- 
rious crosses  found  on  the  grave-stones 
of  ecclesiastics,  (the  Whaplode  siieci* 
mens  appertaining,  I  consider,  to  lay- 
men) were  matured  into  a  science  by 
the  heralds,  at  a  subsequent  period. 

HBXHAM    CHURCH. 

Hexhamensis  (page  I?  of  vour  pre- 
sent Volume.)  asks,  *'  could  not  (a 
brief)  be  adopted  at  present  to  restore 
what  the  parish  is  unable  to  do  ?**  viz. 
the  ancient  priory  church  at  Hexham. 
— It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  old  and 
approved  mode  of  raising  money  for 
such  laudable  pur|>oses  has  been  done 
away  with  by  one  of  those  sweeping 
acts  of  legislation  for  which  the  present 
ase  is  likely  to  be  remarkable  :  in  lieu 
of  a  brief  for  each  individual  church, 
collections  are  now  to  be  made  by  what 
is  called  a  "  King's  Letter,"  and  the 
amounts  are  directed  by  the  stat.^  Geo. 
4,  cap.  48,  sec.  10,  to  be  paid  to  the 
treasurer  of  the  *'  Society  for  enlarging, 
buildine,  and  repairing  churches  and 
chapels,*'  to  be  applied  towards  carrying 
the  designs  of  the  Society  into  efiecL— 
However  laudable  the  exertions  of  the 
Society  may  be — and  it  is  certainly  de- 
serving of  great  encouragement — it  is 
much  to  be  regretted  that  the  old  sys- 
tem has  been  done  away  with.  If  a  brief 
had  been  bon^  6de  issued  for  the  repair 
of  a  church  which  had  become  a  sub- 
ject of  interest,  many  would  have  con- 

*  The  Cbarcb  at  Dunwick,  in  Suffolk,  is 
of  g'lmihr  c^ottruction.     See  Arcbieologia, 


tributed  liberally  towards'the  individual 
case.  As  the  roval  letters  are  like  an- 
gel's visits,  the  Society  is  likely  to  have 
enough  upon  its  hands  in  the  manage- 
ment of  its  funds,  which,  from  the  na- 
ture of  the  case,  most  be  far  from  ade- 
quate to  the  purpose  of  it,  and  as  the 
object  of  the  Society  is  rather  to  gain 
accomnaodation  than  the  preservation 
of  a  piece  of  antiquity,  I  fear  Hexham 
church  will  derive  but  little  assistance 
from  the  new  mode  of  making  the  col- 
lections. If  the  destruction  oT  old  sys- 
tems, good  in  the  main  but  abused  in 
the  management,  so  fashionable  in  the 
present  day,  be  not  timely  stopped,  some 
of  our  fairest  institutions  of  antiquity 
will  tremble  for  the  consequences. 

PORTISHBAD   CHURCH. 

The  gentleman,  who  presented  the 
chairs  made  out  of  the  materials  of  an 
ancient  screen  to  Poriishead  Church, 
(see  page  32,)  displayed  in  the  do- 
nation more  inunincence  than  good 
taste.  Are  the  chairs  any  better  for 
their  materials  having  once  formed  an 
ancient  screen  ?  It  reminds  me  of  the 
construction  of  a  bridge  by  the  vain 
Duke  of  Chandos,  out  of  the  remains  of 
a  Roman  pharos,  and  his  inscribins  the 
circumstance  on  the  structure.  If  the 
sarcophasus  of  Alexander  had  fallen 
into  the  hands  of  any  Vandal,  who  had 
exclaimed  ^'  the  pavement  of  my  fine 
court  is  formed  out  of  Alexander  s  cof- 
fin,** his  barbarity  would  have  received 
enough  of  censure.  If  the  gentleman 
had  expended  his  money  in  restoring 
the  screen  eiiher  to  its  original  use,  or 
to  some  appropriate  situation  in  the 
church,  he  would  truly  have  deserved 
applause ;  hnt  as  it  is,  I  cannot  help 
regretting  the  misappropriation. 

WINCHESTBR   CASTLE. 

Your  reviewer  (p.  35)  speaks  of  the  an" 
cient  hall  at  Winchester  Castle  as  being 
divided  by  pillars  and  arches,  and  Mr. 
Buckler  asserts  the  same  in  liis  cicvet 
essay  on  Eliham  Palace.  That  the 
building  now  used  as  a  hall  is  so  di- 
vided, is  certain ;  but  I  much  question 
whether  the  present  is  the  original  des- 
tination of  the  structure.  It  has  every 
appearance  of  a  chapel ;  a  supposition 
which  is  confirmed  by  its  being  situ- 
ated according  to  the  ecclesiastical  ar- 
ransement :  and,  until  some  evidence 
is  adduced  to  shew  that  it  has  always 
been  used  as  a  hall,  I  should  rather  be 
inclined  to  consider  that  the  present 
building  U  the  chapel  of  the  Castle.

Sir  TobU  MaUmms  not  a  *^  ptdnterr 


[Marcby 


ihifl  has  been  extracted,  U  entitled  "  A 
Collection  of  Letters  niade  by  S'  Tobie 
Mathews,  K^  With  a  chaiacter  of  the 
most  excellent  Lady  Lucy  Couoteise 
of  Carlile,  by  the  same  author.  To 
ivhich  are  added,  many  Letters  of  his 
own  to  several  persons  of  honour,  who 
were  contemporaries  to  him."  l660. 
ISroo.— A  large  portion  of  these  letters 
are  comprised  in  other  **  Collections,*' 
pf  rticidarly  many  of  Bacon,  which  ap- 
pear in  the  Cabala,  Bacon's  Works, 
&c.  Of  the  «  Character"  of  the  blue- 
stocking Countess  of  Carlisle,  parts 
lire  quoted  in  Walpole*s  Anecdotes  of 
Fainting,  and  Lodge's  Portraits,  with 
she  remark  that  its  rhapsodical  adula* 
lion  might  be  understood  as  ironical 
satire  }— -though  luch  probablv  was  not 
the  intention  of  the  writer,  whose  sim- 
ple extravagance  was  a  subject  of  gene- 
ral ridicule.  It  was  a  similar  character 
of  the  Infanta  Maria  of  Spain,  written 
by  Sir  Tobie  when  at  Madrid  in  l623, 
inat,  from  its  having  been  styled  "  a 
picture,"  obtained  the  admission  of  his 
name  into  the  former  of  the  works 
aeotioned  j  and,  although  (as  remarked 

a  the  recent  editor,  Mr.  Dallaway) 
aface  Walpole  "  first  suspected,  and 
«(Wrwards  proved,  that  Sir  Tobie  Ma- 
thews had  not  the  slightest  pretension 
to  be  included  in  these  Memoirs*,'*  yet 
he  seems  to  have  been  considered  too 
amusitig  a  personaee  to  be  dismissed 
from  the  second  edition,  and  this  elo- 
quent illuminator  of  the  splendours  of 
the  female  character  was  retained, 
principally  to  exhibit  his  own  bulToon- 
ery,  but  ostensibly  '*  to  throw  as  many 
lights  as  possible  on  the  manners  of  the 
age."  It  may  be  added,  that  Walpole 
has  misled  several  other  writers,  parti- 
«tilarly  Granger,  who  has  classed  Sir 
Tobie  with  Rubens,  Vandyke,  &c., 
among  the  painters  of  Charles's  reign, 
and  not  only  states  that  '*  he  did  a 
portrait  of  the  Infanta,"  but  also  that 
"  he  attempted,  at  least,  to  paint  the 
Countess  of  Carlisle  ;"  nor  in  the  last 
very  imperfect  edition  of  the  "  Bio- 
graphical History"  is  it  noted  that  both 
attempts  were  merely  descriptive. 

*  It  it  tomewhat  incontistent,  howeTer, 
with  this  axDUQation,  that  in  this  lut  edi- 
tion the  article  of  Tobie  Mathews  is  one  of 
those  selected  for  the  introdoction  of  a 
wood-cut  portrait,  and  he  is  tlius  made  to 
rank  not  merely  with  the  artists  who  form 
tin  iiih|eeti  of  the  work,  but  eren  with 
ibota  who  wear  a  mark  of  peculiar  dlstioctioa. 


Whilst  turning  over,  a  short  time 
ago,,  a  volume  of  the  Harleian  MSS. 
(No.  I676)  I  accidentally  met  with  a 
copy  of  Sir  Tobie's  "  picture,"  and,  as 
I  believe  it  has  never  been  engraved,  I 
will  now  request  you  to  undertake  that 
task,  as  I  doubt  not  the  daubing  (such 
as  it  is)  will  be  represented  with  suffi- 
cient accuracy  by  that  unusual  species 
of  Miipple,  the  types  of  your  letter-press 
printer. 

In  the  first  place,  however,  I  must 
quote  the  royal  correspondence  which 
became  the  undesignea  cause  of  enrol- 
ling Sir  Tobie  Mathews  in  a  catalogue 
of  painters.  His  pictorial  fame,  then, 
originated  in  a  postscript  added  by  Prince 
Charles  in  his  own  nand  to  a  letter 
which  the  Duke  of  Buckingham  had 
written  to  the  king,  in  the  joint  name 
of  the  Prince  and  himself,  at  Madrid, 
June  86,  1623.    It  is  as  follows  : — . 

*'  Sir,  In  the  medest  of  our  serius  busines 
tiUMprUtie  Tobie  Maihew  comes  to  intreafe 
us  to  deliver  this  letter  to  your  M.  which  ia. 
Off  he  eaU  it,  a  pictur  of  the  Infknta*s,drawen 
in  bUke  &  wbjte.  We  pray  you  let  none  lafe 
[laugh]  At  itbut  YOur  selfe  and  honnest  Kate 
[the  Duchess  of  Buckingham].  He  thinkes 
he  hath  hitt  the  naille  of  the  head,  but  you 
will  fynd  it  [the]  fooliihest  thing  that  erek 
you  saw*." 

In  a  letter  written  to  her  lord  on  the 
16th  of  July  we  find  "  honnest  Kale** 
thus  alluding  to  the  production  : — 

*'  I  hare  sane  his  Ma^*  latly*  but  hath  not 
seen  the  pick  tor  toby  mathus  ded,  but  I  hope 
the  next  tim  I  shalL  I  do  immmn  what  a 
rare  pesce  [piece]  it  tis  being  of  hu  domg." 

The  Duchess  then  goes  on  to  men- 
tion a  real  painting  (which  may  have 
contributed  to  mislead  Vertue  and 
Walpole)  : 

*'  Sence  the  Prinoe  keeps  that  aerbers 
[Gerbierj  has  done  for  the  lofiuata,  I  hope 
nobody  shall  have  the  next  he  dos  from  me, 
for  I  do  much  desier  to  see  a  goodpicktur  of 
hers,  for  I  here  her  infinitely  com  ended. — 
She  had  need,  prove  a  sood  on  [one]  that  the 
Prince  may  think  his  Jomey  and  delays  well 
bestode  for  her ;  for  I  swere  he  desarves  her, 
be  she  never  so  hanssom  or  good,  to  under- 
take such  a  jorney  for  her  ;  and  she  had 
need  make  us  pore  wift  some  a  mens  [amends] 
for  bebg  the  cause  of  keeping  our  husbands 
firom  US.  But  I  thinke  it  tis  not  her  fkulte, 
for  I  warant  she  wood  &ne  have  it  dia- 
paeht  to." 

There  certainly  seems  reason  to  sup- 
pose that  the  marriage  was  not  disliked

Percy  Monuments  at  Beverley,  co.  York, 


809 


PbRCT  MONUMBHTfl    AT  BbVERLBY. 

WITH  the  accompanying  plate  of  a 
singular  monument  at  Beverley 
we  hare  been  favoured  hyMr.Scaum,the 
publisher  of  the  handsome  work  on  the 
History  of  that  town,  which  is  noticed 
in  our  present  month's  review.  The 
plate  is  a  very  favourable  specimen  of 
the  advance  made  by  the  art  of  litho- 
.graphy  towards  rivaning  the  delicacy 
ana  finish  of  line  engraving  ;  it  is  from 
the  press  of  Mr.  R.  Martin,  and  is  highly 
creditable  to  his  abilities. 

The  finest  monuments  in  Beverley 
Minster  are  three  belonging  to  the  il- 
lustrious family  of  the  Percys.  The 
most  perfect  of  them,  on  account  of  its 
magnificent  and  hi{>hly  enriched  cano- 
py, is  usually  called  ihe  Percy  Shrine, 
and  was  probably  erected  to  the  me« 
mory  of  Idoneade  Clifford,  wife  of  the 
second  Lord  Percy  of  Alnwick,  and 
grandmother  of  the  first  Earl  of  North- 
umberland. She  died  in  1365.  A 
mutilated  altar-tomb  is  that  of  Henry 
the  fourth  Earl,  who  was  slain  in  an 
insurrection  at  Thirsk  in  1489-  The 
third  is  that  represented  in  the  accom- 
panying plate. 

These  monuments  appear  to  have 
been  particularly  unfortunate  in  suffer- 
ing by  removal  from  one  part  of  the 
chapel  to  another,  an  operation  which 
is  seldom  effected  without  mutilation 
or  misapplication  of  parts.  We  are  in- 
formed by  Mr.  Gough,  in  his  Sepul- 
chral Monuments,  (where  four  tolio 
plates  are  dedicated  to  the  '*  Shrine*' 
and  its  carvings,  and  one  to  each  of  the 
other  monuments,)  that  that  of  the 
fourth  Earl  "  stood  at  first  against  the 
south  wall,  and  had  a  rich  stone  ca- 
nopy 0%'er  it ;  but,  the  wall  being  con- 
siderably out  of  its  perpendicular,  the 
canopy  was  broken  down,  and  the 
tomb  removed  into  the  middle  of  the 
chapel.  Fragments  of  the  canopy  lie 
by  It.**  The  Beverley  historian  says 
tnat  the  tomb  represented  in  the  an- 
nexed plate  "  has  been  removed  per- 
haps more  than  once."  It  will  be  per- 
ceived that  the  effigy  is  notof  suiRcieot 


lensth  to  cover  the  cavity  of  the  tomb ; 
and,  although  it  does  not  seem  to  have 
so  struck  either  Mr.  Gough  or  the  au- 
thor of  **  Beverlac,*'  we  have  little  hesi- 
tation in  thinking  that  the  efiigy  and 
tomb  were  not  originally  one  monu- 
ment. This  supposition  is,  we  think, 
supported  by  the  description  which  Le- 
land  has  left  of  these  monuments  in  his 
Itinerary.     He  describes  them  as 

"  three  tumbes  most  notable  on  the  north 
side  of  the  quier. 

'<  Yd  one  of  them,  with  a  chtpel  archid 
over  it,  xa  buried  Percy  £rl  of  Northumber- 
land, and  his  sun,  father  to  tlie  last  Erie. 

'*  Yn  another  is  buried  Eleanor,  wife  to 
one  of  the  Lord  Percys. 

**  And  yn  another  of  white  alabaster  Ido- 
nca  Lady  Percy,  wife  to  one  of  the  Lord 
Percys. 

<*  Under  Eleanor's  tumbe  is  burled  one  of 
the  Percys,  a  preste." 

It  will  be  perceived  that  Leland  dis- 
tinctly describes  the  **  three  tumbes," 
besides  that  memorial  (not  speciBed, 
but  doubtless  this  effigy),  by  which  he 
was  informed  that  a  priest  was  buried 
**  under  Eleanor's  tumbe."  To  our 
apprehension,  therefore,  it  appears  evi- 
dent that  the  priest's  effigy  was  then 
placed  on  the  floor,  and  that  by  the  ex* 
prcssion  **  under,"  the  venerable  father 
of  antiquarian  tourists  means  on  that 
pari  of  the  floor  contiguous  to,  or  as  it 
might  now  be  expressed, — below,  that 
monument. 

The  first  tomb  mentioned  by  Leland 
is  indisputably  that  of  the  fourth  Earl. 

The  second  we  conceive  to  be  the 
altar-tomb  represented  in  our  plate,  but 
then  surmounted  by  either  on  effigy  of 
Eleanor  Lady  Percy,  or  by  a  slab  and 
brass,  probably  the  latter,  which  may 
more  readily  have  incurred  its  entire 
destruction  or  concealment. 

The  third  we  consider  to  be  that 
now  called  the  Percy  Shrine;  and 
which,  though  the  author  of  *'  Bever- 
lac,'* has  admitted  such  various  claims 
for  its  appropriation,  is  attributed  to 
the  same  Idonea  as  Leland  names,  by 
the  high  authority  of  Mr.  Gough.*— 


*  The  grand  mistake  of  Bishop  Percy  in  bringing  it  down  more  than  a  century  to  the 
hdy  of  the  fourth  Earl,  aud  which  was  corrected  by  Mr.  Oough  (though  with  delicacy,  in 
deference  to  the  Dishop,  who  was  then  alive,)  had  better  been  passed  unnoticed  by  Mr. 
Poulann,  particularly  as  he  found  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Gough,  as  to  the  age  of  the  monu- 
ment, 8up]K)rted  by  those  of  Mr,  Rickraan  and  other  architectural  critics.  The  Bishop  was 
led  to  ascribe  the  monument  to  the  Countess  Maud,  in  comoquence  of  a  MS.  meraoran- 
dnm  in  the  copy  of  Dup^dale's  Baronage  in  Worcester  cathcdrul  library,  which  records  the 
opening  in'l«71  of  **  the  grave  wJierein  the  body,  of  Maud  Countess  of  Northumberland 

Gent.  Mao.  Afarch,  m30.

Percy   Monuments  at  Beverley, 


[Marehj 


We  are  aware  that  Mr.  Poalson  may 
probably  object  that  it  is  not  made  of 
alabaster;  as  he  says  in  p.  6g5,  **  there 
is  evidently  no  alabaster  monument, 
nor  any  traces  of  one  left."  This  very 
circumstance,  however,— that  there  are 
no  traces  of  alabaster  left,-— contributes 
to  prove  that  Ldand  mistook  the  free- 
stone of  the  **  shrine,"  for  alabaster, 
which  he  might  easily  have  done  from 
the  delicacy  of  the  sculpture,  and  per- 
haps from  the  substance  being  concealed 
by  colours. 

In  this  manner  we  distribute  Leland's 
description  ;  and,  although  in  conse- 
qaence.of  the  movement  of  at  least  two 
of  the  monuments  (the  first  named  and 
the  priest's  effisy),  it  is  undoubtedly  (as 
remarked  by  Mr.  Poulson)  "  much  at 
variance  with  the  Beverley  monuments 
as  they  now  stand,*'  yet,  we  think  it 
will  not  thus  beany  longer  "difficult  to 
reconcile  his  (Leland's)  statement  with 
their  present  appearance." 

As  it  is  not  necessary,  on  this  occa- 
sion, to  describe  more  particularly  the 
Percy  **  shrine,**  we  will  now  refer  our 
readers  to  the  History  of  Beverley,  ox 
the  more  fortunate  of  our  readers  who 
«  have  access  to  the  Sepulchral  Monu- 
ments, to  that  work,  in  order  that  it 
may  receive  a  further  portion  of  that  at- 
tention, of  which,  as  a  beautiful  speci- 
men of  ancient  art,  at  the  most  florid 
period  of  pointed  architecture,  it  is  so 
fully  deserving.  We  will  only  notice, 
for  the  information  of  those  who  may 


remember  the  monument  in  times  past^ 
that  during  the  recent  repairs  of  the 
Minster,  when  the  choir  was  fitted  up 
for  divine  service  instead  of  the  nave, 
the  tomb  under  the  "  shrine**  was 
removed, 

**  when  the  contents  exhibited  a  stone 
coffin  joined  with  mortar,  6  feet  6  inches 
lone,  1  foot  6  inches  wide,  and  only  16 
inches  deep ;  the  body  wu  closely  enveloped 
in  lead,  so  much  so  u  to  leave  the  impreitioo 
of  the  body  in  it,  and  enclosed  in  a  wood 
coffin  [which  appeared  to  have  been  plun- 
dered of  the  ornaments  which  decorated  it.*] 
—Dr.  Hull,  who  was  present,  supposes  thas 
the  arms,  legs,  and  bones,  firom  their  magni- 
tode,  did  not  belone  to  a  person  above  the 
age  of  19  or  14.  [It  is  shrewdly  suspected 
that  the  account  in  Gough  had  tempted  the 
cupidity  of  the  plunderers.f']  It  seems  that 
this  altar-tomh  had  been  a  subsequent  intro- 
duction under  the  canopy,  as  the  mouldings 
had  been  cut  away  for  its  admission,  from 
which  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  original  in- 
terment was  below  the  floor  of  the  church." 

We  will  now  proceed  to  our  main 
business,  to  describe  the  subjects  repre- 
sented in  the  plate. 

First,  with  regard  to  the  tomb,  its 
architecture  agrees  with  the  style  of  the 
commencement  of  Edward  the  Third's 
reign,  which  was  the  period  at  which 
Eleanor  Lady  Percy  died.  She  was  a 
daughter  of  John  the  second  Fitz-Alan 
EarTof  Arundel,  and  wife  of  Henry  the 
first  Lord  Percyof  Alnwick,  who  died 
in  1315,  and  was  buried  in  the  Abbey 
of  Fountains.    It  is  probable  that  the 


was  interred  at  Beverley  minster,  near  unto  the  before-specified  monument**  of  her  hus- 
band }  but  this  memorandum,  it  will  be  perceived,  mentions  no  monument  of  the  (^unless, 
butt  on  the  contrary,  describes  the  ulace  where  her  stone  coffin  was  found  as  a  **  grave.*'-— 
It  appears  that  Catliarino  widow  of  the  fifth  Earl,  by  will  in  1  .S48,  left  her  body  to  be  buried 
at  Beverley.  It  is  possible  that  the  remains  found  in  Dugdale's  time  may  have  belonged  to 
this  G)untess.— We  are  sorry  to  see  that  Mr.  Dallaway,  in  his  account  of  the  Percy  mmily, 
(under  Fetworth,  in  the  History  of  Sussex,)  has  copied  the  misappropriation  of  the  monument 
to  Maud,  notwithstanding  he  refers  to  Gough*s  Sepulchral  Monumenu.  He  adds  in  a  note, 
*<  For  the  preservation  of  this  monument  a  small  stipend  is  still  paid  ;** — we  hope  it  will 
continue  to  be  so. 

*  f  We  have  marked  these  passages,  because  they  refer  to  the  account  mentioned  in  the 
preceding  note,  of  the  investigation  made  in  1G71»  at  which  time  a  corpse  was  found  with 
several  rich  ornaments,  and  which  Mr.  Poulson  has  hastily  considered  to  be  the  same  as 
that  described  in  the  text.  To  shew  the  impossibility  of  their  identity,  we  will  now  quote 
the  deacriptton  of  what  were  considered  the  remains  of  the  Countess  Maud  :  '*  Her  corpse 
was  found  in  a  stone  coffin,  embalmed  and  wrapped  in  cloth  of  gold,  with  slippers  embroi- 
dered with  silver  and  gold,  a  wax  lamp,  and  a  plate  candlestick  with  a  candle.  According 
to  Mr.  Poulson 's  account,  the  recent  resurrectionists  appear  to  have  expected  that  the 
resurrectionists  of*  1671  were  so  considerate  as  ta  leave  all  these  in  statu  auo  ;  and  that,  if 
the  curiosities  were  gone,  it  must  have  been  by  plunderers  since  Mr.  Gough's  advertbement 
of  the  hidden  treasures  !  But  it  appears  so  obvious  that  a  body  «  closely  enveloped  in  lead" 
could  not  be  the  same  as  had  been  seen  150  years  before,  not  inclosed  In  lead,  but  merely 
**  embalmed  and  wrapt  in  cloth  of  gold,  with  slippers,*'  that  we  wonder  how  the  sapposition 
that  the  two  corpses  were  the  same  could  be  entertained  for  a  moment. — We  cannot,  more- 
over, pass  nnnoticed  the  carelessness  with  which,  in  the  extract,^  embrpidered"  is  misprinted 
for  ''embalmed/'  and  "  Baronetage"  for  «•  Baronage.'

Bat-Reliefi  in  the  Church  at  Beverley. 


[March, 


beck."  Tlie  former  benefice  is  in 
Nortbumbcrland,  and  in  the  patronage 
of  the  see  of  York  ;  and  our  clerk  was 
probably  presented  to  it  by  his  first 
cousin  George  Nevill,  brother  to  the 
king-making  Earl  of  Warwick,  and 
Archbishop  of  York  from  1466  to 
1476.  The  latter,  now  written  Cald- 
beck,  is  in  Cumberland,  and  in  the  pa- 
tronage of  the  see  of  Carlisle;  and  t(ie 
Beverley  Prebendary  probably  obtained 
his  presentation  to  it  from  his  younger 
brotber  William  Percy,  who,  it  may 
be  presumed,  was  a  man  of  superior 
abilities  to  George,  as  he  was  appointed 
Bishop  of  Carlisle  in  1458 ;  he  was 
also  Chancellor  of  the  University  of 
Cambridge  from  1461  to  1466,  and 
died  in  1468. 

The  efiigy.  of  this  highly  connected 
priest  is  much  covered  with  armorial 
shields,  a  circumstance  very  unusual  in 
figures  of  ecclesiastics. 

On  his  maniple  are:  1.  Three  lions 
passant,  under  a  label  of  three  points. 
.  —2.  Checquy,  ClifforcL^S,  A  bend 
engrailed  between  two  crescents. — 4. 
A  manche. — 6.  Three  legs  of  Man. — 
6.  A  fess. 

On  the  bottom  of  his  robe  are  the 
following  coau :  Checquy,  C7i)forrf.— 
A  fess  between  two  or  three  lioncels 
rampant,  impaling  three  lions  passant 
guardant. — A  lion  rampant,  a  cnief. 

On  the  he^i  of  his  robe :  A  fess  be- 
tween two  chevrons. — ^Three — A 

chevron  between  beasts'  heads.-— Three 
stags*  or  bulls'  heads.— A  fess  between 
three  boars'  heads. 

On  the  bottom  of  his  hood,  among 
other  coats,  are  distinguished,  three 
lions  pssant  guardant,  and  a  fess  be- 
tween two  roundels.*  J.  G.  N. 

Mr.  Urban,        Grimshy,  Feb,  4. 

THERE  is  an  anomaly  in  the  fine 
Church  at  Beverley,  which  would 
appear  surprising  to  the  improved  taste 
and  feeling  of  the  present  age,  were  we 
not  in  possession  of  certain  historical 
facts,  which,  while  they  serve  to  ac- 
count for  what  would  be  otherwise  in- 
explicable, induce  a  doubt  of  the  sanity 
of  a  religion  that  could  abet  such  aber- 
rations from  solemnity  and  decorum,  as 
were  exhibited  in  those  absurd  farces, 
the  Abbot  of  Misrule,  the  Boy  Bishop, 

*  We  thbk  theae  arms  could  be  more  cor- 
rectly HMde  out  by  a  fresh  examination  with 


the  Morisco,  the  Theatrical  Miracles, 
the  Feast  of  Fools,  and  other  mumme- 
ries, whose  sanction  was  derogatory  to 
the  practice  of  that  sober  and  decorous 
worship  which  the  creature  ought  to 
pay  to  the  Creator.  I  allude  to  the  bas- 
reliefs  on  the  subsellia  or  moveable 
seats  in  the  choir.  When  I  first  beheld 
these  uncouth  figures,!  was  struck  with 
wonder  at  the  grotesque  and  even  inde- 
cent postures  in  which  many  of  them 
are  pourtrayed,  and  felt  somewhat  at  a 
loss  to  account  for  their  introduction 
into  a  sacred  structure  dedicated  to  the 
service  of  the  Most  High.  The  history 
of  the  times  in  which  they  were  sculp- 
tured, however,  furnished  me  with  a 
clue  towards  their  elucidation,  and 
subsequent  reflection  has  suggested  the 
following  arrangement  :— 

1.  They  are  probably  either  memo- 
rials of  individuals  who  were  chieflj 
concerned  in  beautifying  the  choir  witn 
the  richly  tabernacled  stalls  which  atill 
add  a  splendour  to  this  portion  of  the 
edifice;  or, 

2.  They  bear  a  reference  to  local 
customs  and  usages  ;  or 

3.  To  ancient  legends  of  the  saints;  or, 

4.  They  refer,  in  symbol  or  carica- 
ture, to  the  persons  or  propensities  of 
individuals. 

The  former  of  these  classes  embraces 
but  few  of  the  designs.  On  one  of  the 
stalls  is  a  central  group  representing  a 
person  of  some  distinction  in  a  hunting 
dress,  with  a  hawk  on  his  fist,  and  at- 
tended by  servants  and  dogs. ;  flanked 
by  single  figures,  a  dog  feeding,' and  a 
^ame  cock  trimmed  for  the  fist ;  and 
inscribed  with  the  nanve  of  the  Rev. 
John  Wake,  who  was  probably  one  of 
the  prel>endaries,  and  attached  to  the 
sports  of  the  field  and  other  recreations 
which  were  prevalent  in  the  sixteenth 
century.  Here  are  also  a  few  coats  of 
arms,  which  undoubtedly  refer  to  indi- 
viduals connected  with  the  establish- 
ment at  the  same  period.  A  fess  between 
three  weights,  with  this  inscription, 
tempore  IDinmi  iS^pgtt  rancenarti  fm/ 
\\xi  ^ttitilBLt,  and  two  men  bearing 
heavy  weights  for  supporters.  Another, 
({uarterly;  1  and  4,  three  pallets  couped 
in  chief  to  make  room  for  as  many 
roundels.  8  and  3,  a  chevron  between 
mullets  ;  supported  on  the  dexter  side 
by  an  eagle,  and  on  the  sinister  by  a 
stag  collared,  seated  on  a  cask  or  tun, 
to  which  he  is  chained  ;  and  having  this 
inscription:  Ibcma  M^Xitti  ^%nvat 
^anvnftUn  cantarii  fmju^  Ctt\t$iM.

Mr.  Upham*t  Reply  to  Mr,  Higgms. 


[March, 


would  almost  wonder  how  such  a  cari- 
cature was  admitted  into  this  situation. 
What  can  be  the  significant  meaning 
of  a  monkey  mounted  on  the  back  of 
a  hare,  but  that  a  timid  and  perhaps 
opulent  individual  is  placed  under  the 
implicit  direction  of  a  designing  and 
politic  scoundrel,  who  makes  equally 
free  with  his  name,  reputation,  and 
purse.  Here  also  we  have  a  muzzled 
bear  instructing  a  monkey  to  play  the 
Scotch  bagpipe ;  and  a  choir  of  young 
pigs  followmg  the  lead  of  bruin  on  the 
same  instrument.  Now  what  is  the 
muzzled  bear  but  some  supercilious  of- 
ficer of  theestablishmentywho  had  been 
reduced,  either  for  tippling  or  loquacity, 
and  compelled  for  his  subsistence  to 
drill  the  sluggish  singing  boys,  symbol- 
ized by  swine,  and  the  pert  musicians 
typified  in  the  monkey  ?  Some  bur- 
lesque reference  to  tne  fraternity  of 
minstrels  which  existed  at  Beverley 
under  the  protection  of  its  Alderman, 
is  probably  contained  in  the  represen- 
tation of  a  hog  elevated  on  his  hind  lees, 
and  solemnly  executing  some  favourite 
measure  upon  the  harp.  On  another 
seat,  the  same  animal  is  playing  the 
bagpipes,  %vhile  ^veral  of  his  compa- 
nion swine  are  engaged  in  a  merry 
dance.  All  these  were  most  likely  well- 
known  characters. 

On  a  few  of  these  subsellia  are  de- 
lineated satirical  pictures,  which  seem 
to  bear  a  more  direct  reference  to  real 
persons  and  real  transactions;  for  being 
intended  to  represent  individuals  in  a 
more  humble  sphere  of  life,  there  ap- 
peared less  need  of  mystery  and  symboL 
One  of  this  character  displays  the  figures 
of  two  workmen,  who,  having  quar- 
reled, are  in  the  act  of  determining 
their  differences  by  single  combat ;  the 
one  is  armed  with  a  mallet  and  the 
other  wiih  a  chisel,  and  they  are  at- 
tended by  their  seconds.  The  man  with 
the  mallet,  being  armed  with  the  most 
formidable  weapon,  has  evidently  the 
advantase;  he  is  preparing  to  strike  a 
blow  which  infuses  terror  into  one  of 
the  seconds,  and  to  avoid  it  the  chisel 
man  retires.  This  apparent  want  of 
courage  excites  the  contempt  of  the 
other  second,  which  he  manifests  by 
holding  his  nose.  Another  bas-relief 
displays  a  shrew  conveyed  by  her  hus- 
band to  the  cucking-stool  in  a  wheel- 
barrow. Her  countenance  exhibits  the 
furious  workings  of  her  mind  at  the 
cffiueinphiion  of  ihe  proposed  mark  of 
disdnctioa  to  which  she  has  been  clc- 


Tated  by  her  superior  powers  of  rheto- 
ric; and  her  feelings  are  strikingly 
pourtrayed  by  the  attack  which  slie 
makes  upon  her  husband's  cranium. 

I  here  close  this  enquiry  for  the  pre- 
sent, hoping  that  the  few  hints  above 
submitted  may  induce  a  more  minute 
investigation  of  this  curious  subject 
than  is  usually  bestowed  upon  it  by 
writers  on  ecclesiastical  topography. 

lam, Sir, yours,  &c.    Geo. Oliver. 

Mr.  Urbak,  March  13. 

IT  appears  to  me  one  of  the  most 
indisputable  of  positions  that  no 
man,  whatever  may  be  his  station  or 
acquirements,  has  any  moral  right  lo 
impugn  or  attack  any  of  the  established 
regulations  in  society,  either  civil  or 
religious,  without  the  means  of  fully 
jiistifying  his  undertaking,  and  the 
candour  to  establish  or  disavow  his 
opinions  if  they  are  proved  to  be  fal- 
lacious. 

With  Mr.  Higgins's  creed  I  have 
nothing  to  do,  and  I  have  left  it  wher^ 
it  must  ultimately  rest,  betwixt  himself 
and  hia  Creator;  but  his  assertions, 
whereinsoever  they  appeal  to  facts,  1 
have  endeavoured  fairly  and  candidly 
to  examine;  and,  according  to  my 
opinion,  they  lamentably  break  down 
under  him.  If  there  be  any  fallacy  or 
error  in  my  arguments,  they  lie  open 
to  Mr.  Higgins*s  refutation  ;  but  if, 
from  the  testimony  of  Mohammed's 
own  wives,  I  can  prove  his  life  to  have 
been  vicious  and  sensual ;  if  even  the 
brightest  portions  of  his  Koran  are 
borrowed  from  our  Scriptures,  and 
those  which  are  not,  are  stained  by 
luscious  and  impure  images  few  would 
care  to  peruse ;  if  it  appears  that  Is- 
lamism,  instead  of  its  boasted  tolera- 
tion, has  in  fact  become  a  withering 
atrophy  over  the  whole  East,  convert- 
ing the  most  popular  districts  and 
provinces  into  sandy  deserts;  if  the 
Emperor  Ukbur,  instead  of  merely 
evincing  toleration  in  his  religious 
creed,  arrogated  to  himself  such  powers 
as  amount  to  an  aberration  of  reason  ; 
and  if  1  can  prove  the  amiable  Burck- 
hardt,  instead  of  having  died  a  convert 
to  Islamism,  as  Mr.  Hi^ins  has  nar- 
rated, to  have  ended  hTs  days  in  the 
Christian  faith ;  in  all  these  points, 
which  are  indeed  his  strongholds  and 
only  positive  references,  I  conceive  Mr. 
H.  is  bound  to  adduce  fresh  evidence, 
or  to  admit  his  absolute  failure.

if  ihe  assertion  with  regard  to  Cam- 
bridge be  correcty  ijis  a  most  disgrace- 
ful distinction  to  the  University  to  have 
placed  herself  on  that '  bad  eminence.* 
..The  advocates  of  the  late  disastrous 
measure  told  us  it  would  be  a  means  of 
promoting  the  Protestant  caase ;  but 
now  we  are  coolly  informed  that '  it 
looks  very  much  as  if  Catholicism  (by 
what  right  does  he  put  the  whole  for  a 
pwrlf)  would  again  increase.'  And 
does  a  Protestant*  pen  this?  Alas! 
that  the  blood  of  the  martyrs  should,  in 
this  degenerate  age,  cease  to  germinate 
as  the  seed  of  the  church. 

We  are  also  told  that  the  liberal  Btn* 
timents  entertained  by  all  modern  Ca- 
tholics (Papists)    will  guarantee  the 
public,   &c.  —  Monstrous !     Contrary 
alike  to  experience,  to  facts,  and  to  the 
nature  of  man.  And  again,  *  that  cha- 
rity and   munificence   will  spring  as 
heretofore,  &c/  Is  this  to  be  tolerated  ? 
*-To  what  do  we  owe  the  unexam- 
pled flow  of  benevolence  in  every  pos- 
sible channel,  which  adorns  and  ferti-  . 
lizes,  not  Britain  only,  but  extends  to 
^ery  quarter  of  the  globe,  making  the 
barren  wilderness  to  rejoice  and  plos- 
•om  as  the  rose  ?  Not,  God  be  praised, 
to  the  spirit  of  Pbpery.    Thbodorus 
says  he  has  '  travelled  over  a  large  por- 
tion of  Europe,  and  has  been  surprised 
at  the  manner  in  which  the  (Roman) 
Catholic  church  is  beginning  again  to 
frevail*    A  rational  being  might  well 
be  surprise^^a.  true  Protestant  will 
lament,  and  see  in  it  the  fulfilment  of 
the  prophecy  that '  For  this  cause  God 
shall  send  them  strong  delusion,  that 
they  should  believe  a  lie^ — see  2  Thess. 
£d  ch.  As  for  its  modem  spirit  oUolera-' 
Hon,  we  must  look  for  it,  not  in  the 
fluctuating  medium  of  polished  society, 
but  to  the  unerring  index  of  unchanged 
and  unchangeable  bulls  and  decretals. 
Thbodorus  is  sorry  thatDmm  is  gain- 
ing   ground  among  many  superficial 
young  men,  &c.  (as  if  the  converts  to 
POpery  were  deep  /)     So  am  I — but 
not  surprised-^PoDtry  and  Deism,  if 
not  Atheism,   will  advance  together

'  piety  and  infidelity  can  produce  each 
other '  I  cannot  comprehend,  even  by

that  it  is  '  by  the  reaction  of  party

open  to  remark,  [^willingly  leave  to  its 
own  feebleness  and  incoherence. 

Thus  much  for  your  Popish  apologist ; 
now  one  word  to  your  Mahometan  pa- 
negyrist, I  can  make  no  pretensions 
to  add  any  thine  to  the  excellent  re- 
marks of  Mr.  Upham,  which,  in  true 
Turkish  spirit,  Mr.  Higgins  determines 
not  to  read  ;  but  I  cannot  pass  over  his 
extraordinary  assertion,  that  Mahomet 
is  to  be  considered  really  a  Christian, 
because  '  he  professed  to  believe  in  the 
divine  mission  of  Jesus  Christ,  and  in 
the  truth  of  the  doctrines  taught  by 
Him*.  If  this  much  suffice  for  a 
Christian,  we  may  give  the  right  hand 
of  fellowship  to  devils,  as  well  as  to 
Turks,  for  they  believe,  and  tremble 
too ;  and,  acknowledging  his  power 
and  authority  over  them,  bore  open 
testimony  that  Jesus  was  the  Son  of 
the  Most  High  God.  Were  it  possible, 
our  next  step  in  the  mad  career  of  li- 
beralitjr  would  be  to  emancipate  those 
high-minded  sxnd  suffering  spinu  from 
their  unjust  and  cruel  thraldom.

DYNINGTO^N  probably  made 
large  repairs  and  additions  to  the 
buildings  of  his  Abbey,  as  roost  of  the 
remains  of  these  now  extant  are  cha- 
racterised  by  the  deep  label  moulding 
and  obtusely  pointed  arch  which  be- 
came the  prevailing  characteristic  of 
gothic  architecture  towards  the  close  of 
the  15ih  century.  The  great  gate  of 
the  Abbey  is  decorated  with  two  mina- 
rets of  this  period,  and  the  parapet  of 
its  pointed  roof  is  crenellated  and  em- 
battled ;  certainly  a  misapplication  of 
the  crenellated  form,  and  a  specimen  of 
perverted  taste. 

Richard  followed  Denyngton  in  1463; 
Richard  Yeme  or  Yerne  was  next 
elected  in  1491,  on  whose  death  or  se- 
cession Richard  Banham  became  Ah- 
bat;  he  received  the  temporalities  of 
the  Abbey  June  7th,  1492,  7th  Henry 
VII.  Banham  being  of  an  ambitious 
character  obtained  for  his  Abbey,which 
Denyngton  had  procured  to  be  a  mitred 
one,  the  further  honour  of  a  seat  in  the 
house  of  peers,  a  privilege  which  the 
circumstance  of  its  being  previously 
dignified  by  the  mitre  did  not  it  seems 
of  itself  confer.  It  is  supposed  that 
Banham  took  this  step  in  order  to  cope 
with   his   diocesan,   Henry  Oldham,

Notices  of  Tavistock  and  its  Abbey. 


[March, 


.  Browne  Willis  informs  as  that  the 
▼enefable  chorch  of  St.  Mary  and  St. 
RumoD  remained  standing  in  its  ruins 
till  about  the  year  l67<>»  when  iu  ma* 
terials  were  given  to  build  a  school- 
house  ;  it  most  have  been  a  magnificent 
structure,  as  from  the  best  information 
he  could  obtain,  it  extended,  inclusive 
of  the  usual  appendage  of  a  chapel  de- 
dicated to  the  Virgin  at  the  east  end, 
upwards  of  350  ^t  in  length.  The 
only  indications  of  its  existence  appear 
when  in  digging  the  graves  on  its  site, 
which  is  now  included  within  the  ce- 
metery of  the  parish  church,  portions 
of  its  elegant  pavement  are  thrown  out, 
consisting  of  those  glazed  and  orna- 
mented tiles  which  were  disposed  in 
our  ancient  sacred  edifices  in  an  infi- 
nite variety  of  connected  patterns.  The 
Cloisters,  which  were  generally  placed 
on  the  south  or  sunny  side  of  the  mo- 
nastic churches,  were  in  that  situation 
at  Tavistock.  I  have  already  mentioned 
the  single  arch  of  these  cloisters,  which 
still  remains.  Thev  were  about  forty 
yards  in  length.  On  the  east  of  these 
was  a  door  into  the  CbapUfr-house,  the 
walls  of  which  were  extant  in  Willis's 
day ;  he  describes  it  as  a  structure  con- 
taming  36  stalls,  beautifully  arched 
over  head  ;  by  which  I  conclude  it  was 
oneof  those  elegant  multangular  build- 
ings, whose  groined  roofs  are  usually 
supported  by  a  single  pillar  in  the  cen- 
tre. The  chapter-house  and  Saxon 
school,  which  I  shall  mention  hereafter, 
were  polled  down  in  1736,  in  order  to 
construct  a  residence  for  the  Duke  of 
Bedford's  steward  on  their  site;  this 
was  called  the  Abbey-house,  and  is  now 
replaced  by  the  Bedford  Arms  Inn. — 
While  I  am  writing  this  account,  1  am 
informed  in  a  letter  from  Mrs.  Bray 
that  part  of  the  pavement  of  the  cha|>- 
ter-house  has  been  Just  discovered, 
consisting  of  tiles,  bearmgthe  figuresof 
Kons  and  fishes :  having  no  drawing  at 
present  of  these  tiles,  I  can  only  ob- 
serve that  the  lion,  either  passant  or 
rampant,  has  been  borne  in  the  armo- 
rial coat  of  the  Earls  of  Cornwall  ever 
since  the  time  of  Reginald  (base  son  of 
Henry  I.  a  benefactor  to  the  Abbey), 
and  tnat  by  the  fishes  some  allusion  to 
the  possessions  of  the  Abbey  in  the 
Scilly  Isles  may  be  intended. 

The  refectory  stands  behind  the  Ab- 
bey-house, or  Bedford  Arms  Inn,  and 
it  still,  as  in  Browne  Willis's  day,  a 
meeting-house,    A  stone  palpit,wilh\n 
the  mettwry  of  some  aped  persons,  was 
remaining   against    the    wall   of   this 


building,  whence  the  monks  were  edi- 
fied at  their  meals  by  the  readings  of 
one  of  their  fraternity.  A  very  beauti- 
ful portico,  cieled  with  the  most  ele- 
gant tracery,  forms  the  entrance  to  the 
refectory  ;  the  arms  of  the  Abbey  are 
displayed  in  the  centre  of  the  arch ;  they 
corres|M)nd  with  those  of  the  Ferrers 
family,  who  had  possessions  at  Bere  in 
this  neighbourhood,  and  were  benefac- 
tors to  the  church.  The  immediate  pre- 
cinct of  the  monastery  (which  enclosed 
the  Abbey  and  parochial  churches, 
the  cemetery  in  which  the  two  last 
mentioned  building  stood,  the  Saxon 
school,  and  monastic  offices)  was  com- 
prised in  an  it  regular  plot,  of  which 
either  side  may  be  taken  at  about  two 
hundred  yards,  or  within  the  circum- 
ference ot  half  a  mile.  Towards  the 
Tavy  a  massive  wall, with  a  crenellated 
parapet  still  remains ;  also  the  Abbat's 
private  gateway,  leading  from  Guile  or 
Abbot's  Bridge  into  the  precinct.  The 
south-west  angle  of  the  embattled 
wall  towards  the  river  is  formed  by  a 
tower  called  the  Siill-house,  which  has 
a  door  into  the  Abbey  grounds,  now 
the  vicarage-garden,  &c. ;  into  this 
building    the    healing    herbs    of  the 

§arden  were  probably  brought  to  be 
istilleJ  by  the  monks.  Towards  the 
eastern  extremity  of  that  part  of  the 
boundary  wall  which  faced  the  river 
were  seated  perhaps  the  officina  mono' 
chorum,  whose  commodious  situation 
is  lauded  by  Malmesbury.  From  the 
StilUhouse  the  boundary  makes  a  right 
angle  to  the  northward,  towards  a  gate- 
way, the  obtusely  pointed  arch  of  which 
is  flanked  by  two  low  s(|uare  towers.-* 
This  also  stands  in  the  vicarage  garden, 
and  opened  into  the  Abbey  grounds.— 
It  is  called  Betsy  Grimbal  s  Tower, 
from  some  vague  tradition  of  a  female 
who  made  it  her  abode  after  the  disso- 
lution of  religious  houses.  Mrs.  Bray 
has  made  good  use  of  this  and  other 
local  traditions  in  her  interesting  ro- 
mance Fitz  of  Fitzford,*  in  which  are 
incidentally  combined  much  of  the 
topography  and  history  of  Tavistock. 

The  situation  of  the  stew-ponds,  for 
the  supply  of  fish  for  the  monastery,  is 
still  marked  by  some  banks  and  willows 
in  a  field  to  tne  westward  of  the  vica- 
rage garden.  Here  I  may  state  that  the 
handsome  and  commodious  vicaraee- 
house  was  erected  in  the  year  1818  oy 
his  Grace  the  Duke  of  Bedford,  and

[March, 


tor's  stipend  in  the  time  of  Eliiabeth 
will  be  louod  in  a  subsequent  document. 

The  Prihtivg  Press. 

The  noble  art  of  printing  was  com- 
Qiunicated  to  our  land  about  the  year 
1471*  and  being  first  practised  in  West- 
minster Abbey,  the  example  was  soon 
followed  by  St.  Augustine*s  Canter- 
bury, St.  Albans*,  and  "  other  monas- 
teries of  England/*  says  Stow*;  among 
which  number  was  the  Abbey  of  Ta- 
vistock. Certain  it  is,  that  a  translation 
of  Boetius  de  Consolatione  Philoso- 
phise, undertaken  at  the  instance  of  one 
Elizabeth  Berkeley,  and  completed  by 
John  Walton,  Canon  of  Osney  in  1410, 
was  printed  at  Taviitock  in  1 584,  under 
the  editorship  of  Dan  Thomas  ftychard, 
one  of  the  monks,  who,  by  the  prefix 
of  Dan  or  Dominus  to  his  name,  was 
perhaps  a  graduate  of  the  university,  or 
a  scholar  of  some  note.  It  might,  liow- 
ever,  be  a  distinction  added  on  account 
of  the  office  which  he  bore  in  the  mo- 
nastery ;  for  I  take  him  to  be  the  same 
persou  who  signs  his  name  to  the  sur- 
render, "  Rycardus  custos.*'  The  con- 
clusion of  this  book  (so  rare  that  Hearne 
had  only  seen  two  imperfect  copies  of 
it),  has  the  following  note : 

"  Hera  eodeth  the  Boke  of  comfort  called 
in  latjn  Boecius  de  coQsoUtione  Phi'e,  Em* 
prented  in  the  exempt  Monasterj  of  Tavettok 
in  Denshvre.  By  me  Dan  Thomas  Rycbard 
Monke  of  the  laid  Monastery.  To  the  lu- 
staot  deiver  of  the  ryght  worshypful  eiquyer

Robert  Langdon,LL  D.  was  nephew 
to  Bishop  Langdun,  a  great  patron  of 
literature,  and  1  suppose  hadf  imbibed 
something  of  his  uncle's  spirit.t 

The  Parish  Church 

is  dedicated  to  St.  Eustace,  and  was 
erected  within  the  cemetery  of  the  Ab- 
bey Church.  Lcland  thought  it  had 
Dot  been  built  long  before  the  dissolu- 
tion, and  that  tffe  parishioners  had  pre- 
viously a  place  of  worship  within  the 
Abbey  church;  this  indeed  was  not 
unlikely,  as  other  examples  might  rea- 
dily be  adduced  to  shew.  The  parish 
church  of  Tavistock  was,  however, 
certainly  in  existence  in  the  reisn  of 
Richard  II.  and  how  much  earlier  I 
have  not  discovered ;  it  appears  to  have 
been  under  repair  in  1380.   The  exte-

from  the  tower  at  the  west  to  the  ter«

spacious  interior.  Among  the  docu*

I  found  and  deciphered  the  following 
very  early  churchwarden's  acount  of

of  the  curious  items  it  containa )  amon^ 
these  will  be  found  a  charge  for  col- 
lectmg  rushes  for  strewing  the  church 
against  the  feast  of  John  the  Baptist, 
and  the  anniversary  of  the  dedication  ; 
for  the  expenses  of  a  man  and  horse 
sent  to  buy  wax  at  Plymouth,  for 
lights  in  the  church  ;  charges  for  ma* 
terials  for  repairing  windows,  &c. ;  for 
making  three  pamted  figures  ia  the 
window  of  the  vestry ;  for  fuel ;  for 
shutters  to  the  great  east  window  |  for 
the  bringing  a  mason  to  repair  the  said 
window  ;  ^r  drinkings  to  the  work*

from  the  park  of  Trewelake  for  main* 
taining  lights  at  the  altars  of  St.  Nicho-

St.  Katharine ;  payments  made  to  the 
sacrist  of  the  parish  church  for  offerings

generally  \  but  I  must  repeat  what  was 
aUvanced  at  the  cammencenienl  of  lliis 
ariiole,  that  Shakspeare  was  under  far 
more  extensive  obligations  to  him  than 
is  generally  imadnetl ;  and  that  lo  him, 
Greene,  Peek,  Nash,  or  Kyd,  must  be 
allolted  the  honour  of  having  com- 
menced that  tpeciei  of  composition 
styled  our  "  Romantic  Drama,"  which 
Mr.  Campbell,  in  his  "  Specimens" 
(adopting  the  dictum  of  others),  assigns 
without  a  shadow  of  juiiice  lo  Sliak- 
apcare  alone.  Thai  Marlowe,  if  he 
wrote  "  Tomburlaine."  wrule  also  ihe 
old  "  King  John,"  is  inconiesiibly 
proved  by  ihe  Prologue  lo  tlial  play.

seem,  merely  lo  display  the  writer's 
learnings  and,  iu  short,  in  every  marked 
eliaracleristic  ofMarlowa's  style,  the 
resemblance  is  so  ilriking,  that  1  think 
no  one  who  lakes  ihe  trouble  lo  ex-

Paraphrau  on  Zeehariah,  Chap.  x. 


[March, 


Marlowe,  by  the  reflection  that  the 
fulBhnent  of  hit  prediction  followed 
hard  upon  its  delivery,  at  if  the  ex- 
piring rake  had  been  gifted  with  a 
foresight  of  that  terrible  judgment 
which  was  destined  speedily  to  over- 
whelm the  partner  of  his  debaucheries ! 

*<  The  sunset  of  life  give  him  mjrsti.cd  lore. 
And  coming  events  cast  their  shadows  before!*' 

His  exhortation,  however,  upon 
which  much  stress  has  been  laid  as 
conclusively  deciding  the  question  of 
Marlowe's  scepticism,  and  which  in 
truth  tells  more  strongly  against  him 
than  all  the  suspicious  narratives  hand- 
ed down  to  us  by  the  Puritans,  will 
appear,  when  attentively  considered, 
and  when  allowance  is  made  for  the 
hyperbolical  strain  in  which  it  is  com- 
posed, to  be  nothing  more  than  such 
an  anxious  warning  as  mi^ht  well  be 
addressed  by  a  repentant  dymg  rake  to 
bis  dissolute  companions  in  guilt,  even 
though  the  said  companions  were  not 
.  professed  blasphemers  and  atheists. 
We  find,  moreover,  from  Chettle's 
«'  Kind  Harts*  Dreame,"  }5Q2,  that 
Marlowe  was  deeply  offended  by 
Greene's  address :  but  would  this  have 
been  the  case  with  an  avowed  and 
shamele<tt  sceptic,  such  as  he  has  been 
desciibed?  A  man  who  prided  himself 
on  his  atheism  and  debauchery,  would 
have  been  quite  indifferent  about  the 
charge,  or  would  rather  have  gloried 
io  iu  James  Broughton. 

(7b  be  eontinutd,) 

Mr.  Urbaw,  March  3. 

YOUR  obliging  reception  of  my 
former  contribution,  emboldens 
me  to  offer  you  my  attempt  to  para- 
phrase the  chanter  next  in  succession 
of  the  Prophet  zlechariah.  It  is  not  so 
rich  in  iu  allusions  as  the  preceding, 
but  it  furnishes  valuable  subjects  for 
reflection.  It  contains  what  may  in- 
duce us  to  believe  that  if  the  Jewish 
nation  be  now  very  near  the  eve  of 
some  great  event  occurring  in  their 
favour,  the  ill-judged  endeavours  of 
certain  advocates  are  not  calculated  to 

I  promote  it.    That  our  House  of  Par- 
iament  should  exhibit  as  motley  an  as- 
sembly as  the  Royal  Exchange,  cannot 
be  the  wish  of  any  true-born  English- 
man.    But  it  is  of  more  serious  im- 
portance to  consider  that  a  permission 
or  encouragement  to   that  people  to 
str/ke  a  deeper  root  in  our  soil,  may 
be  inconsistent  with  the  promises  made 
to  them  in  the  Jewish  Scriptures,  and 
w/ir  not  to  be  desired  by  any  who 
were  in   them.     The  accomplished 


Member  for  Oxford  has  already  shown 
himself  to  be  on   the  alert  on  this 

SueStion.  I  wish  our  self-termed  Philo^ 
udeans  were  equally  clear-sighted. 

Zechariah. — Chap.  x. 
YiT  are  their  prayers  required  :  ask  of  the 

Lord, 
And  He  shall  give  yon  fertilizing  raiM ; 
The  former  which  may  cause  the  seed  to  swell. 
And  burst,  and  germinate ;  and  showers  in 

Spring 
To  fill  the  tender  blade,  and  o'er  your  pnstares 
To  spread  the  mantle  of  luxuriant  herhase. 
Not  so  your  Idols — for  how  vain  weir 

comforts! 
False  were  the  words  tbey  utter'd  by  dlviaars. 
Who  bade  yon  trust  in  dreams  false  as  theoH 

selves ; 
And  visions  of  fufuri^  misled  yon. 
Twas  therefore  as  a  floek  without  a  guide,  ' 
A  prey  to  terrors,  or  in  lewd  excess 
Ye  indulged,  and  fell  o*er  steepe,  or  loosely 

revell'd  : 
Hence  I  chastis'd  these  goats  i  my  fury  kindled 
'Gainst  those  who  paraper'd  them ;  bat  the 

house  of  Judah, 
My  sheep,  I  visited,  I  strengthened  them. 
And  made  them  as  a  warhorse  in  the  field. 
From  them  shall  issue  forth  a  valiant  leader,* 
On  whom  they  may  depend,  skill'd  in  the  bow« 
And  follow'd  by  a  powerful  ehampion-traln. 

Thus,  too,  in  later  times,  under  my  fiivow^ 
Shall  tliey  be  strong  in  fight;   opposing 

squadrons 
Shall  they  dispene,  and  trample  in  the  mire. 
And  Joseph  will  I  save,  his  House  rmtore 
As  though  I  had  not  cast  tliem  off;  in  merer 
rU  hear  them  as  they  call  on  me,  their  Ood. 
Yea,  scatter'd  Ephraim  shall  be  miglny,  be 
More  numerous,  more  diapers *d,  now  wasing 

strong,  [chiUrea, 

As  one  whom  wine  hath  hearten*d ;  yea,  his 
As  they  behold  mv  deeds,  shall  bless  tnelyftd. 
Io  distant  Ksnds  though  they  be  thickly  seat- 

ter'd,  pnemaso 

As  grain  in  seed-time,  though  they  yield 
An  hundred-fold,  yet  will  I  gather  them 
From  £gypt,  from  Assyria :  through  die  bad 
Of  ocean  and  of  Jordan  a  dry  patli 
Shall  open  to  admit  them  on  their  way : 
I  '11  sorely  bruise  the  pride  of  every  power 
That  would  detain  them,  when  I  turn  again 
My  people  who  remember  me.    The  signal 
For  their  recall  shall  be  that  hissing  sign 
On  which  my  Servant,  in  the  wilderness. 
Bade  Israel  look ; — ^for  the  uplifted  Saviour 
Hath  their  redemption  sealed.     They  and 

their  children 
In  Sion  shall  again  enjoy  repose- 
Shall  spread  on  Lebanon,  o'erpeople  Gilead ; 
Scarce  shall  the  land  suffice  to  hold  their

■ot  put  you  in  a  state  of  affluence,  they  can 
place  you  beyond  the  reach  of  want.  The 
time  will  come,  I  hope,  when  they  will  be 
able  to  do  more,  and  to  make  (he  latter  days 
of  your  life  as  happy  as  the  first.  When  I 
compare  your  situation  nhith  that  of  most 
mothers  whom  1  remember,  I  think  that 
you  have  as  little  reason  for  grieving  as  any 
of  them.  Many  that  are  rich,  are  unba|ipy 
in  their  families.  Ttie  loss  of  fortune  is  but 
a  partial  evil ;  you  are  in  no  danger  of  expe- 
riencing the  much  heavier  one— of  having 
imthankful  chihlreD.  The  friends  that  de- 
serted you  with  your  fortune  were  unworthy 
(jf  your  societ)  i  those  that  deserved  your 
friendship  have  not  forsaken  yon. 

•'  Alexander  and  I  have  agreed  to  remit 
ay  &ther  100/.  a  year  between  os.  If  the 
arrears  which  I^>rd  Macartney  detained  are 
|iaid,  1  will  send  900/.  in  the  course  of  the 
year  1786.  John  Napier  will  tell  you  the 
reason  why  it  was  not  in  my  power  to  send 
more.*' — i.p.  67. 

The  movenients  of  both  armies,  on 
the  renewal  of  the  war  with  Tippoo, 
are  given  with  singular  vigour  and 
animation  in  letters  to  his  father. 
These  descriptions  unite  all  the  best 
aoalities  of  a  military  historian,  and 
uiey  will  form  invaluable  documents 
for  future  writers  on  Indian  campaigns. 
To  give  any  specimen  by  which  to 
judjge  of  their  merits,  would  be  impos- 
sible; they  are  too  ciosiely  connected 
for  separation. 

«  The  following  extract,"  says  Mr. 
Gleig,  "from  Letters  addressed  to  his 
brother  on  his  first  arrival  in  India, 
deserves  to  be  studied  by  all  voung  men 
when  6rst  starting  into  life.'' 

*<  Though  1  am,  in  many  respects,  a 
greater  boy  than  you;  yet,  as  1  have  had 
the  start  of  you  in  this  country,  [  will  ven- 
ture to  give  vou  some  hints.  Do  not 
wonder  at  any  thine  you  see ;  or  if  you  do, 
keep  it  to  yourself.  Do  not  pester  people 
with  questions  alxjut  me,  fc.  men  in  general 
are  as  much  disgusted  with  hearing  a  person 
talk  of  his  relations  as  of  himself.  My 
father  says  you  are  diffident.  I  rejoice  to 
hear  it ;  fur  it  is  a  fiiult  more  easily  cor- 
rected than  forwardness.  You  have  no 
reason  to  be  alarmed  at  what  is  called  launch- 
ing out  into  the  world.  A  little  experience 
will  convince  you,  that  it  is  composed 
neither  of  wiser  nor  of  better  people  than 
you  have  seen  in  small  circles.  Play  tour 
own  character  without  affectation,  and  be 
assured  that  it  will  soon  procure  you  friends. 
Do  not  distrust  your  own  medial  skill ;  if 
yuu  do,  yon  are  a  wonderful  doctor.  In 
this  country,  a  good  understanding,  sound 
principles,  and  consistency  of  character, 
will  do  more  for  you  than  a  thousand  disco- 


veries  concerning   muscular  motion.'*  —  i. 
p.  139. 

In  1792  a  treaty  of  peace  was  signed 
with  Tippoo,  and  Mr.  Munro  passed 
from  the  military  to  the  civil  service.. 
From  the  general  ignorance  of  the 
Coinpan^s  servants,  of  the  languag;e 
spoken  in  the  ceded  provinces.  Lord 
Cornwallis  was  compelled  to  make 
choice  of  military  men  for  the  collect* 
ing  of  the  revenue,  and  for  the  parpose 
of  reconciling  the  inhabitants  to  their 
new  masters.  Amongst  those  selected^ 
from  his  knowledge  of  the  eastern 
dialects,  was  Mr.  Munro,  and  we  find 
him,  until  1799>cng3(Scdin  civil  occu- 
pations. His  letters  to  his  family  dur- 
ing this  period,  contain  descriptions  of 
Indian  habits,  manners,  customs,  and 
superstitions,  in  the  highest  degree  in- 
structive and  amusing.  With  a  mind 
vigorous  in  the  extreme,  and  neithei 
enervated  by  climate  nor  emasculated 
by  indulgence,  he  looks  around  him 
with  the  eve  of  a  Christian,  a  philo- 
sopher, and  a  statesman,  and  descrihcs 
what  he  sees  with  a  clearness  and  pre- 
cision, indicative  at  once  of  the  strength 
of  his  talent  and  the  soundness  of  liis 
judgment. 

In  1807*  as  Colonel  Munro,  he  re- 
turned to  England,  after  a  residence  in 
India  of  seven  and  twenty  years,  during 
which  period  he  had  been  actively  em- 
ployed either  as  a  miliury  or  civil  of- 
ficer. He  had  discharged  more  arduous 
and  important  duties  than  ever  before 
fell  to  the  share  of  a  British  functionary 
in  the  East,  and  his  talents  both  for 
business  and  war  were  acknowledged 
on  all  hands  to  be  of  the  verv  highest 
order.    This  is  the  eulogy  ot  his  bio- 

grapher,  and  it  is  more  than  justified 
y  the  narrative  of  his  services. 

During  the  residence  of  Col.  Munro 
in  England,  he  was  called  upon  to 
cive  evidence  before  the  House  of 
Commons;  and  of  all  the  witnesses  ex- 
amined on  the  question  of  a  renewal 
of  the  CoinpinV's  charier.  Colonel 
Munro  is  stated  to  have  made  the 
deepest  impression  on  the  House,  "  by 
the  comprehensiveness  of  his  views, 
by  the  promptitude  and  intelligibility 
of  his  answers,  and  by  the  judgment 
and  sound  discretion  which  charac- 
terized every  sentiment  to  which  he 
gave  utterance." 

A  very  able  paper  was  also  drawn 
up  by  Colonel  Munro  on  this  im- 
portant subject,  and  it  is  peculiarly 
worthy  of  perusal  at  the  present  mo*

life  of  this  exemplary  man  must  be 
necessarily  brief.  During  ihe  (wrioil 
in  which  he  held  the  high  and  re- 
sponsible office  of  Governor  of  Madrai, 
his  lime  nnd  lalcnis  were  devoted  lo 
increase  the  comforts  and  respectabililj' 
of  ihe  European  servants  of  the  Com-

There  was  no  department  into  which 
Sir  T.  Munro  did  not  carry  a  wise  su- 
|>erintendance,  and  hia  administration 
may  be  distinguished  as  embracing 
those  principles  which  he  had  so  care- 
fully laid  down.  He  was  essentialiy  a 
practical  man. 

f  We  have  no  space  for  extracts,  but 
hit  letters  addressed  to  various  mem- 
bers of  the  Government  at  home,  ex- 
hibit the    finest    illustrations    of  his 
statesmanlike  and  philanthropic  views. 
India  was  again  in  a  state  of  pro- 
found repose,  and  again  the  heart  of 
Sir  T.  Munro  yearned  towards  his  na- 
tive land.    The  Burmese  war,  how- 
ever, suspended  this  intention,  and  in- 
duced him  to  recall  the  resignation  he 
had  sent  home.     His  correspondence 
with  Lord  Amherst  during  the  conti- 
nuance of  this  war,  shows  the  zeal  with 
which  he  entered  into  every  arrange- 
ment ;  and  the  votes  of  thanks  which 
followed  the  close  of  hostilities,  are  the 
best  proofs  of  the  manner  in  which  his 
services  were  appreciated.    It  was  dur- 
ing this  period  ihat  a  second  son  was 
born  to  him.    The  illness  of  this  child 
induced  Lady  Munro  to  embark  wiih 
her  infant  for  England,  and   the  pa- 
rents never  met  again. 
But  we  must  hasten  to  a  close. 

•'  On  the  day  when  the  signing  of  the 
definitive  treaty  was  communicated  to  the 
Madras  Government,  he  dispatched  not 
fewer  than  six  copies  of  a  letter  in  which 
his  extreme  impatience  to  resign  u£5ce  was 
stated.** 

During  the  interval  that  elapsed  he 
formed  the  unfortunate  resolution  of 
visiting  his  old  friends  in  the  ceded 
districts.  The  season  was  unpropi- 
tious,  and  the  cholera  was  raging;  and 
to  this  disease  he  fell  a  victim. 

We  will  not  attempt  to  injure  the 
simple  statement  of  Mr.  Gleig:  he 
writes  as  follows: 

•'  It  was  now  one  o'clock  in  the  day,  and 

ht»  puJse  being  still  full  and  good,  sanguine 

Aopeg  ntre  encouraged  that  all  might  »iill 


he  well ;  but  firom  that  time  he  failed  ra- 
pidly, and  the  fiears  of  his  friends  and  at- 
tendants became  severely  excited.     About 
three,  however,  he  rallied,  and  feeling  bet- 
ter, exclaimed  with  atone  of  pecufiar sweet- 
ness, <  that  it  was  almost  worth  while  to  be 
ill,  in  order  to  be  so  kindly  nursed."     Be- 
tween three  and  four,  no  event  of  hnport- 
ance  occurred,  except  that  be  repeatedly  al- 
luded to  the  trouble  which   he  gave,  and 
urged  the  gentlemen  around  him  to  with- 
draw ;  but  soon  after  four,  he  himself  re- 
marked  that  his  voice  was  growing  weaker, 
and  his  sense  of  hearing  more  acute.    These 
were  the  last  articulate  words  he  uttered, 
for  the  disease  increased  rapidly  upon  him  ; 
and  though  fiiint  hopes  were  more  than 
once  entertained,  owing  to  the  appearance 
of  ceruin  favourable  symptoms,  for  the  ap- 
prehensions that  accompanied  them  there 
was  too  much  eround.    Sir  Thomas  Munro 
Ibffered  till  half-past  nine  in  the  evenine> 
and  then  fell  asleep."— U^.  «0d. 

A  character  of  Sir  Thomas  Munro, 
affecting,  from  the  simple  elegance  of 
the  language,  and  vindicated  in  its  eu- 
logy by  the  und^viaiine  rectitude  of 
his  life,  has  been  given  by  Mr.  Gleig. 
We  would  willingly  extract  it,  but  we 
must  content  ourselves  with  congmtu- 
lating  England,  India,  his  family,  and 
friends,  in  having  possessed  so  eminent 
a  man,  both  in  public  and  private  life, 
as  Sir  T.  Munro,  and  who,  more  for- 
tunate  than  many  of  the  great  and 
good,  has  found  in  Mr.  Gleig  a  biogra^ 
pher  who  could  appreciate  his  talents, 
discriminate  each  shade  of  his  public 
and  domestic  life,  and  build  up,  if  we 
niay  so  s|)eak,  from  scattered  materials 
of  his  virtues  and  talenU,  an  imperish- 
able monument  to  his  memory. 

How  well  Mr.  Gleig  has  executed 
his  task,  the  lucid  arrangement  and  the 
connecting;  narrative  bear  ample  testi- 
mony. To  the  historian  the  Life  of 
Sir  Thomas  Munro  will  be  an  invalu- 
able guide,  and  an  unerring  light  in 
his  researches  in  British  India:  nor

tht  rtlatioiM  of  males  tod  females  are  imal- 
serabie."-^p.  87. 

Now  for  the  ghost  story. 

Sir  Humphry,  speaking  under  the 
character  of  Fhtblethes,  says,  that 
while  he  was  suffeting  under  a  dsnger* 
oos  fever,  and  was  passionately  in  love 
at  the  time  with  a  lady  who  had  black 
hair,  dark  eyes,  apd  pale  complexion, 
a  female  figure  continually  haunted 
him,  in  the  mind*s  eye,  which  had 

<*Broirn  hair,  blue  eyes,  and  a  bright 
rosy  coaplexioB,  and  was  far  unlike  any  of 
the  amatory  forms  whkh  in  early  youth  had 
so  ofUn  hannted  his  imagination. ' — p.  70. 

As  he  became  convalescent,  the  vi- 
sion gradually  disappeared ;   but,   he 

••y»f 

"  Ten  years  afier  I  had  recovered  from 
the  fever,  and  when  I  had  almost  lost  the 
recollection  of  the  vision,  it  was  recalled  to 
my  memory  1^  a  very  blooming  and  grace- 
ful maiden,  ronrteen  or  fifteen  years  old, 
that  I  accidentally  met  during  mv  travels  in 
Illyria  t  but  I  cannot  say  that  the  impres- 
sion made  upon  my  mind  by  this  female 
was  very  strong.  Now  comes  the  extraor- 
dinary part  of  the  narrative.  Ten  years  af- 
tei^— twenty  years  after  my  first  illness — ^at 
a  time  when  I  was  exceedingly  weak  from  a 
severe  and  dangerous  roaliuly,  which  for 
many  weeks  threatened  my  life,  and  when 
my  mind  was  almost  in  a  desponding  state, 
being  in  a  course  of  travels  ordered  by  my 
medical  advisers,  I  again  met  the  person 
who  was  the  representative  of  my  visionary 
female  ;  and  to  tier  kindness  and  care  I  be- 
lieve I  owe  what  remains  to  me  uf  exist- 
ence."— p.  71. 

Now  this  is  ascribed  to  mere  imagi- 
nation, excited  by  disease ;  but  though 
events  may  be  prophesied,  because  they 
are  foreseen,  now  can  the  identity  of 
the  figure  in  the  vision  with  the  fe- 
male be  so  explained?  The  pheno- 
mena of  perception  are,  as  justly  ob- 
scH'ed'  in  p.  214,  not  explicable  by  any 
mediate  intervention  known  to  us;  and 
if  not  of  perception,  certainly  not  of 
anticipation ;  yet  the  existence  of  pre- 
sentiments is  undeniable.  "  Impon- 
derable agents,  such  as  electricity, 
possess  (says  Sir  Humphry),  force 
sufficient  to  overthrow  the  weightiest 
struciores  ;'*  and  **  fear  could  not  exist, 
if  there  was  not  anticipation.*'  Percep- 
tion, therefore,  maif  be  influenced  by 
media,  of  which  we  have  no  know- 
ledge, acting  u}X)n  hope  or  fear. 

oir  Humphry  evidently  was  medi- 
tating; upon  the  prospect  of  early  dis- 
solution, when  he  wrote  these  "his 
/M  words.*'    The  "hsi  words"  of  a 


''You  ask  me  if  they  have  any  know- 
ledge or  reminiscence  of  their  transitions  i 
tell  me  of  your  own  recollections  in  the 
womb  of  your  mother,  and  I  will  answer 
you.  It  is  the  law  of  Divine  Wisdom,  that 
no  spirit  carries  with  it  into  another  state 
and  being,  any  habit  or  mental  quality,  ex- 
cept those  which  ntay  be  ecmneeted  with  its 
new  wants  or  enjoyraenu;  and  knowledge 
relating  to  the  earth  would  be  no  more  oae- 
ful  to  these  glorified  beings  than  dieir 
earthly  system  of  organised  dust,  whieh 
would  be  instantly  resolved  into  its  ulti- 
mate atoms  at  such  a  temperature  fhe  is 
speaking  of  comets].  Even  on  the  earth,  the 
butterfly  does  not  transport  with  it  into  the 
air  the  organs  or  the  appetites  of  the  crawl- 
ing worm  fmm  which  it  sprung.  There  is, 
however,  one  sentiment  or  passion  which 
the  monad  or  spiritual  essence  carries  with 
it  into  all  its  stages  of  being,  and  which  in 
these  hsppy  and  elevated  creatures  is  conti- 
nually exaked — the  love  of  knowledgn  or  of 
intelwctoal  piiwer,  which  is  in  fiuit,  in  iu  ul- 
timate and  most  perfect  developement,  the 
love  of  infinite  wisdom  and  unbounded  power, 
or  the  love  of  God.**-.-p.  57. 

All  this  is  imaginative.  Sir  Hum- 
phry knew  that  man  could  not  {Kwsi- 
hly  understand  any  thing  beyond  the 
limited  sphere  of  his  own  being;  and 
therefore  could  have  no  accurate  ideas 
of  religion,  except  by  Rcvelhtion.  He 
vindicates,  however,  by  philosophy, 
ceruin  Scriptural  dilficulties,  as  the 
Judaic  prohibition  of  intermarriage 
with  aliens,  and  the  extinction  of 
whole  nations,  in  a  philosophical  man- 
ner, superior  even  to  that  of  Bishop 
Watson  (pp.  39,  8S) ;  and  he  shows 
that  the  religion  of  Jehovah,  as  em- 
bracing the  most  perfect  form  of 
theism,  and  the  most  refined  and 
exalted  morality,  is  that  which  alone 
is  fit  for  the  civilised  world.  As,  too. 
Sir  William  Herschell  believed  that 
there  is  nebulous  or  luminous  matter 
now  in  the  process  of  forming  new 
suns,  and  as  it  is  evident  that  the  mo- 
derns have  produced  a  far  more  intel- 
lectual existence  than  the  ancients, 
he  is  of  opinion  (p.  280)  that  genii  or 
seraphic  intelligences  mny  inhabit  the 
planetary  systems,  and  be  the  minis- 
ters of  the  Eternal  Mind;  and  because

<  rightly  to  divide  the  word  of  truth/  as  the 
Apoatle  expresses  it ;  seems  calculated  not  so 
much  to  serve  the  cause  of  religion,  as  tliat 
of  folly,  enthusiasm,  and  imposture."— 1. 187* 

Nonconformity.  The  principles  of 
nonconformity  ultimately  produce  fac- 
tion in  the  State  and  infidelity  in  the 
Church. — i.  351. 

Depreciation  of  works, 

<*  The  doctrine  of  &ith  without  works 
has,  indeed,  of  late  years  been  put  out  of 
countenance:  but  tliuush  it  dues  not  ap- 
pear so  openly  among  Christians  as  it  once 
did,  it  is  still,'  I  fear,  making  its  way  in  dis- 

Siise.  A  doctrine  nearly  related  to  it  is  at 
is  day  propagated,  incompatible,  if  I  un- 
derstand it,  with  the  eraod  economy  of 
man's  salvation ;  I  mean  tlut  doctrine  which 
represents  the  fruits  of  holiness  as  the  ne^ 
Canary  produce  of  Christian  faith.  Persons 
who  profess  to  write  against  the  gross  cor- 
ruption of  Antmamiaidtmy  may  uninten- 
tionally promote  it,  by  adopting  a  mode  of 
reconciling  the  two  apostles  St.  Paul  and 
St.  James,  to  which  the  apostles  themselves 
would  not  subscribe.  If,  with  the  view  of 
doing  honour  to  &ith,  as  the  root  or  found- 
ation of  Christian  practice,  bccaiue  no  Chris- 


tian practice  can  exist  independent  of  it,  tlie 
fruits  of  holiness  an  to  be  considered  as  its 
fieoetmry  produce,  not  only  a  great  part  of 
St.  F^r*s  writings  would  be  without  mean- 
ing, but  the  supposed  attempt  of  St.  JaoMs 
to  counteract  the  wroog  conclusions  that 
might  be  drawn  from  some  oarts  of  theas 
taken  unconneotedly,  would  nave  bean  use- 
leas,  because  in  such  case  no  such  conclii- 
sion  could  have  been  drawn."— ii.  893. 

Gospel  Preachers.  It  is  one  of  the 
hackneyed  phrases  of  the  day,  that  the 
Clergy  are  not  gospel  ministers.  It  ia 
not  easy  to  speak  without  severity  of  a 
charge  so  destitute  of  truth,  and  so  en* 
tirely  void  of  charity.  In  addition  to 
the  inconveniences  which  sotnetimea 
liappen,  when  imporunt  doctrines  are 
stated  differently  in  the  same  congrt^ 
tion,  the  evil  must  become  intolerable 
when  a  direct  attempt  is  made  to  depre- 
ciate the  ministry  ot  a  fellow-labourer; 
to  alienate  the  aflections  of  his  flock ; 
and  to  accuse  him,  however  pious,  or- 
thodox, and  learned,  of  darkening  the 
counsel  of  God.— 'ti.  4l6. 

Saloation  by  grace,  Preachen  of 
salvation  by  grace,  like  the  gospellers 
of  the  last  century,  should  rather  be 
called  preachers  of  absolute  decrees, 
predestination,  election,  and  faith 
without  works.— ii.  417. 

Evangelical  Magazine,  A  publica- 
tion which  seems  to  have  been  set  on 
foot  for  the  express  pur|)Ose  of  propa- 
gating schism.— ii.  369* 

Every  man  has  a  right  to  worship 
God  in  his  own  way. 

**  If  it  were  the  business  of  roan  to  make 
a  religion  for  himself,  the  deist,  the  then- 
philanthropist,  the  Stoic,  or  even  the  Epi- 
curean himself,  might  be  approved;  but 
this  is  not  the  case.  We  are  to  believe 
what  God  has  taught  us,  and  to  do  what  he 
has  commanded,  i  o  uik,  therefore,  in  the 
liberal  language  of  the  day,  that  every  man 
has  a  right  to  worship  God  in  his  own  way, 
is  downright  nonsense." — ii.  73. 

Enthusiasm. 

**  Vanity  is  the  life  and  soul  of  en- 
thusiasm. This  weakness  of  the  human 
understanding,  and  vanity  of  the  human 
heart,  constitutes  the  prin-ary  and  power- 
ful causes  of  that  change  in  religious  lan- 
guage and  feelings,  which  has  by  degrees 
been  productive  of  that  ^menuble  defsc- 
tion  from  our  established  or  orthodox 
Church,  which  so  peculiarly  distinguishes 
the  character  of  these  latter  days." — ii.  79. 

Church' building, 

"  The  most  decisive  experiment  having 
been  made,  tliat  the  principles  of  non- 
conformity ultimately  produce  foction  in 
the  Sute  and   infidelity  in   the   Church,

women  standing  before  him  until  he  has

that  they  should  eat  with  the  finger  and

of  their  love  of  sweetmeats  within  the  limits

ing his  chU/ougue^  wrapjied  up  in  a  reverb. 
JHe  has  been  educated  m  the  imperial  se- 
raglioi  and  afUr  serving  hb  youth  in 
slavery,  he  is  preferred  to  some  office  in 
the  state,  or  b  advanced  to  the  government 
of  some  distant  prtivince.  In  middle  age  he 
can  perhaps  read  and  write,  and  repeat  every 
Ikvourite  chapter  in  the  Koran  from  begin- 
ning to  end,  but  thb  b  all  hb  knowledge, 
and  he  turns  it  to  the  account  of  plunder. 
The  grandee,  however,  relaxes  from  the  fa- 
tigue of  dignity  pretty  often;  he  penunbo- 
lates  with  an  amber  rosary  dangling  from 
lib  wrbc, — he  looks  neither  to  the  right 
DOT  to  the  left, — the  corpse  of  a  Rayah  at- 
tracts not  his  attention, — the  head  of  a 
alaughtered  Greek  he  passes  by  unnoticed, — 
he  causes  the  trembling  Jew  to  retire  at  hb 
approach, — he  only  shuffles  the  unwary 
Frank  who  goes  along.  It  b  too  trouble- 
some to  kick  him, — he  reaches  the  coffee- 
l^use  before  noon, — an  abject  Chrbtian 
aalaams  him  to  the  earth, — spreads  the  new- 
est mat  fbr  the  Effendi, — presents  the  rich- 
est cup, — and  cringes  by  hb  side  to  kiss  the 
bem  of  his  garment,  or  at  least  his  hand. 
The  coffee  peradventure  b  not  good, — the 
Effendi  storms, — the  poor  Armenbn  trem- 
bles,— ^he  swears  by  Lb  father's  beard  he 
made  the  very  best, — in  all  probability  he  gets 
thf  cup  at  hu  head,  and  a  score  of  maledic- 
tions, not  on  himself,  but  on  hb  mother. 
A  friend  of  the  Effeudi  enters,  and  after  ten 
minute's  repose,  they  salute  and  exchange 
aalaamt,  A  most  interesting  conversation 
b  carried  on  by  monosyllables  at  half  hour 
intervals.  The  grandee  exhibits  an  English 
pen-knifa, — hb  Iriend  examines  its  back  and 
Uade,— smokes  another  pipe,  and  exclaims 
*  God  b  great !' 

**  Pbtols  are  next  produced ;  their  value 
b  an  eternal  theme,  and  no  other  discussion 
takes  place  till  a  grave  old  priest  begins  to 
expatiate  on  the  temper  of^  his  sword.  A 
learned  Ulema  at  length  talks  of  astronomy 
and  politics ;  how  the  sun  shines  in  the  east 
and  In  the  west  and  every  where  he  shines— • 
bow  he  beams  on  a  land  of  Mussulmen ;  how 
all  the  Padishahs  of  Eurofie  pay  tribute  to 
the  Sultan,  and  how  the  giaours  of  England 
are  greater  people  than  the  infideb  of  France, 
because  they  make  better  pen-knives  and 
finer  pistols.  How  the  Dey  of  Algiers 
teade  a  prisoner  of  the  English  Admiral  in 
the  late  engagement,  and  after  destroying 
his  fleet,  consented  to  rcbase  him  on  con- 
dition of  paying  an  annual  tribute ;  and  how 
the  Chrbtian  ambMsadors  came  like  dogs  to 
the  footstool  of  the  Sultan,  to  feed  on  his 
imperial  bounty.  After  this  edifying  piece 
of  bistory,  -the  Effendi  takes  his  leave,  with

«3<r       RiTiBW.-^Sir  J.  Wftbh^  the  Poor  Lam  in  IrAmd.    [BIsrA; 


wages  sink  Mow  mtintenance.  Those 
excellent  jphilanthropisU,  Messrs.  Be- 
cher  and  Boswonh,  hare  nevertheless 
deoionstrated,  that  nearly  one  half  of 
the  sams  at  present  raised,  is,  under  an 
improved  system,  unnecessary ;  and  it 
h  equally  certain  that,  under  their 
plans,  accompanied  with  a  judicious 
scheme  of  emigration  to  take  off  grow- 
ing numbers,  the  country  may  be  al- 
most wholly  relieved  of  tne  demorali- 
zation and  Durden  of  Poor's  Rates. 

Under  the  opinion  that  where  there 
b  an  excess  of  population  there  is  only 
a  choice  of  evils,— throwing  the  people 
upon  the  land,  or  giving  them  money- 
payments,— the  latter  has  been  prefer- 
red, as  prospective  of  fewer  bad  conse- 
quences than  the  potatoe-system,  and 
cutting  up  estates  into  gardens,  which 
system,  as  we  have  before  observed, 
feeds  population  until  a  country  be- 
comes a  general  abode  of  pauperism 
and  misery.  But  the  inducement 
which  the  burden  of  Poor's  Rates 
creates  in  the  minds  of  the  wealthy, 
to  improve  the  condition  of  the  poor, 
and  tne  tendency  of  the  relief  to  sup- 
press insurrection— these  and  other 
motives  have  caused  various  writers  to 
lecommend  an  extension  of  the  svstem 
to  Ireland.  In  deprecation  ol  this 
measure.  Sir  John  Walsh  has  publish- 
ed this  truly  excellent  and  elaborate 
pamphlet.  He  states  numerous  and 
solidT  objections.  Of  these  the  chief 
is,  that  the  people  not  being  maintain- 
ed, as  in  England,  by  wages,  and  not 
having  a  similar  desire  of  ameliorating 
their  conditions.  Poor's  Rates  would 
have  no  other  tendency  than  that  of 
augmenting  the  number  of  paupers,  al- 
ready too  large.  Most  truly  does  Sir 
John  say, 

'*  The  Irish  have  encreased  to  fiMt,  be- 
eanM  they  have  not,  ai  in  most  other  £a- 
ropcan  natioDf ,  depended  vpon  the  wages 
of  Isbmir  for  snUbtence.  Thev  have  ex- 
tiacted  a  cbeaper  and  easier  livelihood  from 
the  earth.  Their  mnltiplication  has  there- 
Ibre  borne  no  sort  of  proportion  to  tlie  de- 
asand  for  labour,  which  regulates  the  in- 
ertaee  of  the  poor  in  the  generality  of  ci- 
vilized states.  Were  the  parishes  bound  to 
protide  work  for  the  unemployed  cottiers, 
they  would  be  utterly  unable  to  devise  any 
for  so  large  a  body  which  would  remnnerate 
them.  "But  the  wages  of  unproductive  or 
Inadequately  productive  labour,  would  differ 
fiiile  in  their  effects  from  pure  donations  or 
pensions  to  the  labourer.  They  would 
^gaMlfy  tend  to  the  increase  of  the  popula- 
9mgnti$bt  ntiaetUm  of  proptrty."— p.1 05  • 


Then,  moreover,  there  are  no  consi- 
derable farmers  to  employ  them.  A 
visitor  to  Ireland— 

**  Looks  in  vain  for  the  houses  of  the 
better  class  of  formers  and  yeomen.  The 
nearest  approach  to  them  are  a  few  low. 
cottages,  whitewashed,  slated  roofo,  sbmU 
windows,  the  frames  not  painted,  and  the 
glass  broken.  No  where  does  he  see  the 
Isest  attempt  at  neatness  or  embelUshment. 
The  land  is  generally  cultivated,  but  in  an 
unfosished  and  slovenly  manner.  The  foncsa 
are  commonly  mere  banks  and  ditehesy 
without  quick,  a  pole  stuck  across  a  gap 
serves  for  a  gste.  He  meets  with  nothmg 
but  rude  cars  drawn  by  one  starved  miserable- 
looking  hurse,  and  driven  by  a  loiterii^ 
careless  follow.  He  finds  numerous  foot 
passengers,  many  of  the  men  and  wooma 
bare-legged,  some  of  the  children  qnite 
naked.  They  seem  all  to  belong  to  the 
same  class ;  a  frieze  great-coat  for  the  bmb» 
and  a  blue  cloak  for  the  women»  cover,  for 
the  most  part,  verv  iU-conditiooed  and  slat- 
ternly apparel.  He  passes  fow  towns,  and 
those  fow  consist  of  a  small  nudens  oif  to- 
lerable houses,  surrounded  by  a  filthy  snl^nib- 
of  mere  huts.  If  he  enters  the  cabins  of 
the  peasantry,  he  finds  that  their  interior, 
fully  corresponds  with  their  external  ap-- 
pearanceofwretchedness  and  poverty.  They- 
are  dark  and  dirty,  filled  with  smoke,  and 
their  fomiture  scanty  and  of  the  rudest  de- 
scription. He  learns  that  their  chief  food 
consists  of  potatoes*  that  at  many  seasons 
of  the  year  they  cannot  procure  work,  and  ■ 
that  the  wages  of  labour^  which  he  has  been 
accustomed  to  consider  as  the  sole  resourco 
of  the  peasantry,  are  at  all  times  so  low, 
as  scarcely  to  maintain  a  fomily." — p.  28. 


The  moral  habits  of  the  peasantry 
are  quite  different  from  those  of  the 
English. 

<*  Give  a  steady  and  frugal  Englinh  la- 
bourer loot}  and  if  yon  were  to  pay  him  a 
visit  in  a  twelvemonth,  you  would  probably 
find  his  cottage  newly  whitewasliM,  some 
articles  of  fomiture  added  to  his  household 
store :  his  home  would  exhibit  to  you  in 
some  way,  that  a  considenble  portion  of 
his  Increased  means  had  been  expended  in 
adding  to  his  personal  comforts  and  conve- 
niences. With  an  Irish  cottier  of  similar 
character,  the  result  would  be  ({uite  dif- 
forent.  The  dang-heap  would  still  fume  in 
front  of  the  door,  the  pigs  would  still  grunt 
in  and  out  of  the  kitcnen,  the  broken  win- 
dows would  still  be  repaired  with  hay- 
bands  instead  of  glass ;  but  probably  them 
would  be  more  pigs  to  grunt,  be  would 
have  rented  a  small  field  in  addition  to  his 
potatoe-garden,  and  bought  a  cow  to  share 
his  cares  with  his  pigs.  There  wouM  be 
quite  as  much  dirt,  and  apparent  disconfbrty

IN  regarding  the  Clergy  as  a  body, 
le  find  Ihat  ihey  support  all  (he  liberal 
duration  of  this  cnunlry,  as  University 
and   schoolmasters  j    that  thfy 


eated 


tricli.  called 


parishes,  for  the  purpose  of  advocating 
uioraliiy,  philanthropy,  and  the  educa- 
tion of  the  poor,  and  that  ihey  exercise 
a  salulnry  conlroul  in  check  of  vice 
and  ignorance.  In  support  of  these 
arrangements,  we  find  that  they  arc 
supported  by  a  predial  tax  called  lythes, 
which  tflu  muil  be  paid  either  to  them- 
selves in  the  present  form,  or  if  abo- 
lished, lo  the  landlord  in  that  of  aug- 
mented rent.  We  lind  also,  that  tbe 
episcopal  otdinaiioQ  which  confers 
these  privileges,  is  not  extended  Lo  per- 
sons who  have  not  adequate  education, 
or  can  be  permanently  enjoyed,  unless 
character  be  supported. 

All  this  appears  to  work  together 
for  good;  of  course  is  very  reasonable 
to  abstract  persons,  10  statesmen  im- 
portant. But  nevertheless  there  are,  in 
thisconnliy,  persons  assimilating  those 
who  upon  the  continent  ate  dislin- 
Hoished  by  the  appellation  of  "  let 
diseurs  des  Palre-notres"  f /*e  layert  tif 
Paler-noileri).  We  have  a  decidedly 
bad  opinion  of  those  who  never  say 
their  prayers,  because  we  think  that 
such  persotis  have  not  sound  principles 
or  reason,  bui  we  do  not  think  that 
persons  who  do  say  their  prayers  ate 
Ihcrel-u  miraculously  qualihed  10  dic- 
tate alarming  Innovations  in  Church 
and  State.  But  such  a  party  does 
exist,  and  in  aid  of  designing  laymen, 
who  have  at  heart  no  other  motive 
than  sedition,  has  far  exceeded  tile 
very  humble  limits  of  talents  and 
learning,  which  are  to  be  found  among 
them,  hy  propuiins  contempt  of  mtn 
rals,*  alterations  of  the  Litiirgy,t  and 
expulsion  of  the  arts  and  sciences,| 
except  in  subordination  to  their  own 
particular  faction.  The  only  remain- 
ing step  (as  they  now  recommend 
American  episcoplity)  is  to  patronikc 
radieatitm  and  Parliamentary  reform.

t^ow  we»  who  aro  in  lire  htbiu  of 
payiag  great  attention  to  hiitory,  do 
not  fincT  that  the  ''diseors  de  Patre- 
hotrea*'  e\'er  benefited  the  country 
which  fostered  them ;  of  course  were 
Qot  supported  by  Providence. 

On  the  contrary,  we  see  in  their 
works  only  enlhusiasm  and  declama- 
tion,  some  of  which  have  the  unques- 
tionable tendency  of  inculcating  a 
Qothic  contempt  for  science  and  arts» 
not  only  impolitic,  but  in  final  result 
ruinous  to  the  natural  well-being,  and 
the  progress  of  reason  and  civilixatioo. 
It  is  consoling  however  to  know, 
that  these  mere  "  diseurs  de  Patre« 
notrca'*  have  not  yet  attained  to  the 
highest  ranks  of  the  hierarchy  i  but 
that  these  are  filled  by  men  of  discre- 
tioo,  and  (although  it  has  been  said 
that  there  is  no  more  connection  in 
the  Church,  between  merit  and  re- 
ward, than  between  beauty  and  strength) 
oocasionally  by  men  of  htah  merit; 
and  auch  a  person  is  the  Right  Re- 
verend author  of  the  book  before  us. 

This  book  contains  many  judicious 
icmarks  concerning  the  proper  dis- 
charge of  various  ecclesiastical  func- 
tions, and  other  most  important  a)at- 
tcrs  connected  with  the  conduct  of 
Clergymen.  Occasional  notices  are 
taken  of  some  popular  notions  of  the 
day,  from  one  of  which  notices  ("§/?«• 
HgUmM  Books)  we  shall  make  an  ex- 
tract. 

**  Thtre  art  persons,  whoM  opinion  it

icho  KDOV  it  only  in  a  debated  and  corrupt- 
ed form,  than  a  boundleit  circulation  of  the 
holy  Scriptures.    But  ao  far  aa  I  find,  from 
the  word  of  God  iuelf,  that  lacred  book 
was  never  used  by  divine  appointment;  to 
far  at  I  find,  it  iras  not  intended  to  be  used, 
to  the  exclusion  of  ministerial  instraction. 
And  indeed,  when  I  reflect  upon  a  variety  of 
oinamacanoea  belonging  to  those  invaioable 
writings ;  when  for  instance  I  reflect  upoo. 
the  different  ages,  characters,  situations, 
•bd  numerous  peculiarities  of  their  respec- 
tive authors  i  on  the  conditions  of  the  se- 
veral persons  to  whom  they  were  originally 
addreued,  or  for  whom  they  were   more 
immediately  written ;  the  remote  and  vary- 
ing periods  of  their  composition ;  the  lan- 
guages in  which  they  were  composed ;  the 
many  natural  phenonaeua,    the    manners, 
and  the  civil  and  religious  institutions  of  the

such  studies  as  helo  to  the  knowledge  of  iha

oannot  but  see  great  reason  to  be  peiaqaded 
that  the  Bible  must  abound  In  duEkinltieSy 
which,  as  they  are  calculated  to  be  an  im- 
pediment in  the  way  of  an  nnknmed  render, 
so  give  oecaaion  lor  a  Clergymaa  to  ba 
diligent  in  applying  all  the  aseana  that  ha 
can  fiumiah,  in  order  to  their  explanatioa 
and  removal.    To  the  question  of  Philip 
concerning  a  particular  passage  in  the  holy 
volume,   *  Understandast  thou  what  thba 
readest?'  the  answer  of  the  £thk»p{aneunneh 
may  be  returned  with  reference  to  a  large 
portion  of  its  contents, '  How  ean  I,  exoepfi 
some  man  should  guide  me*."    Pp.  71-74. 

^  We  haTO  alwaya  thought  that  direc- 
tion-posts are  of  no  use  to  persona  who 
cannot  read|  but  suildea  eonveraiona 
are  now  usual,  and  the  nature  of  thinga 
may  be  altered.  There  were  once,  at 
least,  conscientious  persons,  who  sup- 
posed that,  if  books  were  given  ti> 
tlMMe  who  could  not  possibly  under- 
stand them,  error  was  the  sure  conse^ 
quence ;  and  that  they  were  prohibited 
from  promoting  such  error  by  a  cer-. 
tain  text  (2  Pet.  iii.  16),  which  says, 
that  '*  unlearned  and  unstable  people 
wrest  the  Scriptures  unto  their  owa 
destruction."  This  many  get  over  in 
a  most  simple  and  ingenious  manner,, 
via.  by  reading  udoamlage  instead  of 
deiiruciion. 

The  Bishop  saya  nothing  of  parties 
in  the  Church,  which  brings  disorder 
into  reliaion,andaredoing  indescribable 
mischief.    The    days    actually   caisT, 
when  fas  before  shown)  the  presump- 
tion ot  obscure  Clergymen  is  so  great, 
that  they  tuke  upon  themselves  to  scout 
learning,    depreciate    morality,    and 
Americanize   episcopacy  and   the  li- 
turay.    Those  who  read  history  and 
philosophy,  account  such  projects  dai^* 
gerous   to  the  Constitution  and   the 
public  good ;  and  such  persons  to  be

daring.

•  take  tn  extract  from  a  termon,  in 
which  the  doctrine  of  a  particular  pro« 
Tidence  if  moat  in^nioutly  illuit rated. 

When  Ahab  setafd  Naboih's  vine- 
yard,  the  prophet  Elijah  declared  that 
dogs  should  lick  hit  blood  also  in  the 
same  Yine^rard.  Ahab, ''  bearing  this 
prophecy  in  mind/'  thought,  when 
Micaiah  said  that  he  should  fall  at 
llamoth  Gileady  that  he  could  noi  fall 

•  at  such  a  distance  olF  as  Ramoth,  and 

•  was  sanguine,  as  to  personal  safety,  so 
far  as  regarded  that  expedition ;  but 
nevertheless  the  e«'ent  happened  as  was 
foretold.  Thus  Dr.  Townsou,  who 
proceeds  to  say, 

**  There  it  anotlier  arideoce  of  this  di- 
recting Pnnrideoce  in  the  manner  of  Ahab*t 
death,  to  whom  Micaiah  had  foretold,  that 
if  he  went  to  Ramoth  he  would  not  come 
back  aliTc.    The  King  of  Syria,  with  whom 
Jie  had  been  so  frequentljr  at  war,  seenM  to 
.haTe   tntertatned    a    paiticnlar    animosity 
.against  bim,  and  therefore  gare  command 
.to  his  chief  capCaina  to  fight  neither  with 
^SBudl  nor  great,  save  only  with  the  King  of 
Israel,  and  to  make  their  whole  attack  upon 
his  person.   Ahab,  apprehensive  of  such  a 
'design,  went  into  die  battle  so  far  disguised, 
as  not  to  be  distingnithed  from  the  reit  of 
his  csptains.     And,  therefore,  the  Syrians, 
mistaking  King  Jehosaphat,  the  commander 
in  chief,  bent  all  their  force  against  him ; 
but  perceiving  their  mistake,  desisted  and 
retired  from  nim.    Where  to  find  out  the 
King  of  Israel,  and  to  fight  with  him  only  as 
they  had  been  commanded,  they  knew  not. 
tn  this  perplexity,  one  of  them  drew  a  bow, 
.with  no  particular  aim  or  design,  but  that 
his  arrow  might  annoy  some  one  or  other 
of  the  enemy's  army.     Who  then  cuided 
the  arm  of  tliis  Syrian,  and  directed  his  ar- 
row, sent  at  a  venture  so  successfully  and 
sorely  to  the  King  of  Isrsel,  that  it  found 
its  way  through  the  joints  of  his  armour 
into  hu  bodv  ?     Was  it  not  the  gccat  Dis- 
poser of  all  events,   who  had  forewarned 
tiim  by  his  prophets,  that  if  he  went  to  Ra- 
moth, he  snouid perish  there.     Vain,  there- 
tont  were  his  sblns  of  caution  and  disguise."

WE  ha?e  unintentionally  delayed 
our  notice  of  this  volume,  which  is 
one  of  the  most  interesting  and  best 
that  the  series  has  produced.  In 
die  first  place  we  acknowledge  with 
approbation  the  attention  paid  to  our 
anggestions  renrding  the  titles  of  the 
work  and  it§  airitiooi,  in  which  the 
lacons/sieacies  that  we  pointed  out  in 


our  review  of  the  last  year^  rolume 
'  have  been  corrected  or  inodified. 

We  have  said  that  this  volume  is 
particularly  interesting,  — a  circuro- 
sunce  primarily  under  the  control  of 
no  other  person  than  a  certain  allego- 
rical tyrant,  whose  scrthe,  although 
so  certain  and  oniTersal  in  its  sweep- 
ing harvest  of  the  ordinary  *'  grasa  of 
•  the  field,"  is  undoubtedly  capriciooi  in 
the  extent  of  its  ravages  upon  the  more 
brilliant  flowers  of  the  nurnan  race. 
In  the  last  year,  within  a  few  abort 
months,  it  cut  down  in  the  garden  of 
Science  its  three  pre-eminent  glories, 
Davy,  Wollaston,  and  Young. 

It  is  the  province  of  the  biographer 
to  cull  those  flowers  ere  y^t  their  me- 
morials have  withered,  and  to  preserve 
the  remembrance  of  that  ezoellenice 
which  might  otherwise  be  forigotteby 
from  the  caose  assigned  by  Horace, 
earaU  quia  vote  taera,  • 
This  task  is  one  in  which  our  own 
Miscellany  endeavours  to  be  the 'moat 
active  labourer:  and  (as  far  as  sije  can 
with  modesty  praise  a  stream  iii  so 
great  a  degree  derived  from  our  own 
fountain)  we  may  pronounce  4he  An- 
nual Obituary  to  be  a  valuable  compi- 
lation.    Were  we  to  investigate  the 
originality  of  the  present  volume,  as 
we  took  some  pains  to  do  with  the 
last,  we  think  we  should  probably  ar- 
rive at  nearly  the  same  result,— tliat 
the  original  matter  is  comprised  in  a 
small  proportion,  and  that  the  number     ^ 
of  articles  is  less  than  that  contained 
in  the  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  the 
same  period.    Nor  on  the  great  majo- 
rity of  the  articles  have  any  fresh  in- 
quiries been  made;  they  are  transferred 
to  the  Annual  Obituary  as  they  ap- 
peared in  the  Gentleman*s  Magazine 
(we  name  our  work  first  as  being  by 
far  the  principal  source),  or  the  other 
previous  publications.    Still  the  dis- 
position of  the  contents  is  suflicient  to 
show  that  the  editorship  is  entrnsted 
to  a  man  of  good  discrimination,  cor- 
rect taste,  and  sound  principles;  and 
his  compilation  is  a  good  one,  as  far  as 
it  extenos. 

The  features  of  the  volume,  which 
strike  our  attention  as  most  original, 
are  the  memoirs  of  Sir  Edward  West, 
Chief  Justice  at  .Bombaj,  and  author 
of  seyeral  works  on  political  economy; 
and  of  William  Stevenson,  esq.  Keeper 
of  the  Records  in  the  Treasury,  and  a 
writer  on  statistics,  &c.— both  valu- 
able anides,  and  \l\e  former  a  long  one.

The  memoir  of  Mr.  Wadd,  ihc 
turgeon.  in  our  December  Magazine, 
was  not,  it  ap|>eart,  published  in  time 
to  amend  the  ariicle  given  in  p.  456 ; 
where  we  find  it  staled  that  '*  Mr. 
Wadd't  family  had  been  settled  for 
many  ^nerations  at  Hampsiead,  in 
the  ▼icmity  of  the  metropolis  ;  and  ita 
nioit  distinguished  member  was  Sir 
William  Wadd,  Governor  of  the  Tower 
in  the  time  of  James  I.  during  the 
Gunpowder  Plot."  This  statement 
firu  appeared  in  the  Literary  Gazette, 
and  was  thence  copied  elsewhere.  It 
is  totally  incorrect ;  the  name  of  the 
Lieutenant  of  the  Tower  was  Waad, 
in  modern  orthography  Wade,  not 
Wadd  ;  his  family  was  therefore  quite 
a  distinct  one.;  and  it  may  be  added, 
that  the  eenerations  of  the  Waads 
settled  at  Hampstead,  were  but  two. 
Sir  William  and  his  father. 

The  History  and  Antiiptitut  rf'  the  Chapel  at 
•  Luton  Park,  a  Seat  qf  the  Mart^uen  qf 
Bute.    By  H.  Shaw.     Part  IK,  forming 
in  all  Ty>entv  Ptatet.    Allot  FdUo,    Car- 
penter and  S»on. 

WE  are  much  pleased  to  see  that 
Mr.  Shaw  has  completed  his  elaborate 
woik,  on  which  he  has  evidently  be- 
stowed much  patience  and  industry, 
and  the  result  is  a  beautiful  illustration 
of  a  chapel,  a  most  excellent  example 
of  the  latest  and  most  florid  fieriod  of 
Gothic  architecture ;  *'  displaying  in 
the  forms  of  some  of  its  arches  and 
mouldings  t  mixture  of  the  Roman, 
which  was  then  coming  into  fashion, 
and  which  afterwards  degenerated  into 
the  grotesque  siyle  prevalent  during 
the  reigns  of  Elizabeth  and  James  L'' 

From  the  great  variety  and  beauty  of 
its  enrichments,  and  the  very  able  man- 
ner in  which  its  beauties  are  displayed 
by  Mr.  Shaw,  this  chapel  is  well  cal- 
culated to  form  an  excellent  example 
.to  modern  architects,  whose  attention, 
we  rejoice  to  say,  is  likely  to  be  more 
and  more  called  to  Gothic  architecture, 
in  the  erection  of  new  churches. 

The  work  is  most  appropriately  de- 
dicated to  the  Marquess  of  Bute  (with 
his  arms  elegantly  displayed  by  Mr. 
Willemeni),  who,  in  the  extensive  al- 
terations at  Luton  Park,  has  preserved 
thpe  inimitable  carvings  with  the 
JDOst  jnxious  care,  having  caused 
*''^fli  io  be  placed  in  a  new  chapel 


built  expressly  for  the  purpose  by  Mr. 
R.  Smirxe,  who  has  also  the  merit  of 
suggesting  the  present  work   to  Mr. 
Shaw. 

To  Dr.  Ingram,  the  learned  President 
of  Trinity  College,  Oxford,  the  public 
are  indebted  for  the  accompanying 
history  of  the  chapel.  The  late  able 
antiquary,  Mr.  Gough,  in  his  notes  on 
Luton  Park,  in  the  *'  Bibliotheca  To- 
pographica  Britanuica,'*  has  iirrserved 
a  tradition  that  these  beautiful  carving 
were  first  put  up  at  Tiitenhanger,  id 
Hertfordshire,  by  Sir  Thomas  Pope, 
and  removed  tKence  by  Sir  Robert 
Napier  in  1674,  when  Sir  Robeit  built 
a  chapel  at  his  seat  at  Luton,  the  ori- 
ginal deed  of  consecration  of  which 
cha|jel  has  been  contributed  to  this 
work  by  the  Marquess  of  Bute.  Tltis 
tradition  has  been  hitherto  adopted  by 
subsequent  writers;  but  the  learn- 
ed President  of  Trinity  is  of  opinion, 
that  the  carvings  came  from  the  neigh- 
bouring |>arish  church  of  Luton ;  and 
that  they  were  erected  at  the  cost  of  a 
rich  Gild  or  Fraternity  of  *<  the  Holy 
and  undivided  Trinity,  and  the  must 
blessed  Virein  Mary,*'  who  had  a 
chapel  in  Luton  Church.  The  Re- 
gister of  this  Gild,  in  the  possession  of 
the  Marquess  of  Bute,  has  been  consult- 
ed, from  which  it  appeals  to  have  beeu^ 
one  of  the  wealthiest  in  the  kingdom. 

*<  It  exliibiti  an  aonnal  catalogoe  of  the 
mastert,  wardens,  beaihren  aod  aittert, 
bachelors  and  maidens,  is  richly  illuminated 
ealligraphj,  irith  the  names  of  the  kings 
and  queens  of  England,  bishops,  abbots, 
priors,  and  other  persons  of  c«insequence, 
who  were  inrolied  amongst  its  mcmliers,  or 
noticed  OS  founders,  patrons,  and  beoebctors. 
The  period  which  it  embraces  (1476  to 
1546),  as  well  as  the  reneral  character  of 
the  ornaments,  exactly  hannooizes  with  the 
style  of  emljellishment  observable  in  the  La- 
ton  chapel ;  and  from  the  opolance  of  tbia 
Society,  as  well  as  the  patronage  which  it 
enjoyed,  there  is  every  reason  to  infer,  that 
it  was  capable  of  producing  whatever  was 
magnificent  in  design,  or  elaborate  in  eseoa- 
tion." 

This  fraternity  was  dissolved  by 
statute  1  Edw.  Vl.  and  the  next  year 
its  possessions  were  granted  to  Ran- 
dolph Bursh  and  Robert  Beverle.  This 
book  contains  many  curious  particulars 
concerning  the  value  of  lands,  the 
price  of  provisions,  &c.  The  accounts 
of  their  anniversary  or  yt^arly  feasts 
show  the  magnificence  of  our  ancestors 
in  their  entertainments.  This  curious

RsTiBWk^Poubon's  Hiitonf  qf  Bectrhif,  [March; 


944 

The  Roman  vettim  are  moat  elai 
boratelj  discoiied,  but  without  any 
•atiifaetory  result.  The  Tarious  opi« 
niont  aro^numerooty  and  leem  to  have 
been  canted  by  etymological  and  spe- 
culative  con^eeturei  being  fubstituted 
for  actual  investigation,  though  the 
absurdity  is  manifest.  Stukeley,  when 
he  made  his  enthusiastic  journey,  tra- 
velled along  the  roads  from  a  given 
acknowledged  point;  and  into  what- 
ever mistales  nis  warm  imagination 
M  him,  he  was  the  first  man  who 
drew  attention  to  subjecto  of  anticjuity, 
importantly  illustrative  of  the  history 
of  this  island,  which  had  before  been 
unnoticed.  The  varying  statements 
before  us  have  however  led  us  to  these 
conclusions ;  that  Richard  of  Ciren- 
cester's work  may  have  been  a  fabrica- 
tion, made  out  of  maps  and  books; 
that  the  Itinerary  of  Antoninus  having 
been  compiled  so  early  as  the  year  184 
A.  D.< cannot  possibly  include  stations 
fobtequently  formed,  and  productive 
of  alterations  in  the  lines  of  roads ; 
that  it  being  the  custom  of  the  Romans 
to  ran  roads  parallel  to  the  British 
trackways,  therefore  both  may  elucidate 
each  other ;  and  that  lastly,  it  ts  to  no 
purpose  to  write  upon  the  subject  of 
Roman  roads  and  stations,  without 
ptevioos  exploration. 

The  Anglo-Saxon  history  is  that 
which  is  usual,  the  influence  of  de- 
votees. But  these  ancient  devotees 
were  agents  of  public  benefit.  They 
included  in  their  useful  religion  the 
cultivation  of  wastes,  the  support  of 
profane  learning,  and  the  arts  of  civi- 
uxation.  If  they  claimed  a  shilling, 
they  conferred  a  pound.  But  modern 
devotees  seem  to  have  an  antipathy  to 
every  thing  that  is  nseful,  because  it  is 
aecuiar ;  as  if  they  could  either  have  a 
shirt  to  cover  their  persons,  or  a  loaf 
to  cat,  or  the  means  of  elevating  them- 
selves at  all.  above  the  beasts  of  the 
field,  without  secularization  of  their 
followers.  The  fact  is,  that  all  these 
ancient  asceticisms  grew  out  of  the  per- 
turbed state  of  society,  which  followed 
the  subversion  of  the  Roman  empire, 
when  men  became  devotees  to  avoid 
being  soldiers.  All,  therefore,  which 
can  he  said  by  our  author,  consists  of 
incident  relative  to  the  subject.  St. 
John  of  Beverley,  in  common  with  his 
contemporaries,  performed  miracles. 
That  these  things  were  professional 

JjfiouM  fnuds  of  the  day,  is  beyond 
oubtf    for    Wad9xmiWs    EngKsh- 


Spaoish  Pilgrim,  and'  many  <Hhel' 
books,  deuil  the  processes,  as  rmlar 
affairs  of  trade  with  the  religious  orders  | 
and  woe  to  him  who  detected  their 
tricks,  and  had  not  prodence  to  be 
silent ! 

The  Norman  era  resolves  itself  into 
the  simple  fact,  that  a  population 
which  would  not  submit  to  ne  helplcsa 
and  unarmed,  might  be  dangerous  if 
outnumbered,  and  might  under  inatten- 
tion overpower  the  military  garrisons. 
Slavery  or  extirpation,  therefore  be- 
came the  only  alternative ;  nor  was  it 
before  the  reign  of  Henry  the  First, 
when  his  usurpation  compelled  him  to 
arm  the  natives  against  his  brother 
Robert,  that  any  thing  like  an  equa- 
lity of  condition  ensued  between  the 
invaders  and  the  people  at  large.  But 
this  eoualisation  was  the  measure 
which  Malmesbury,  who  lived  in  that 
SBre,  clearly  shows  established  the 
success  of  Henry.  * 

The  modes  or  action  by  which  great 
changes  arc  effected,  are  always  simple, 
either  those  of  necessity  or  force,  and 
philosophical  history  only  explains  the 
machinery  of  such  modes.  No  man, 
however,  can  foresee  what  opinions 
and  conduct  certain  measures  may 
produce.  Again,  the  difference  of  cha- 
racter between  the  Romans  and  the 
descendants  of  their  Gothic  succes- 
sors, is  palpably  staring,  because  it 
merely  implied  a  preponderance  of 
barbarism  over  refinement ;  but  there 
was  a  strange  adoption  of  Roman  cus- 
toms disfij^red  by  northern  intellect ; 
of  the  habits  without  the  mind ;  of  the 
things  retained,  and  the  taste  lost ;  of 
interest  in  the  preservation,  and  none 
in  the  execution ;  of  books  written^ 
but  with  indifference  as  to  the  matter; 
and  of  painting  and  sculpture  with 
disregard  to  the  graces.  There  were 
nevertheless  numerous  customs  of  the 
northern  nations,  in  which  their  own 
habits  preponderated.  Although  wo- 
men wove,  spun,  and  performed  va- 
rious offices  of  the  menage  among  the 
Greeks  and  Romans,  yet  the  sex  was 
not  held  in  the  estimation  assigned  to 
it  by  the  Transrhenane  nations. 

We  shall  make  an  extract  relative  to 
this  point. 

Among  various  ancient  nations.

THE  Editor  of  this  Miscellany,  in 
order  to  enhance  the  merits  of  his  de- 
sign,  claims  the  credit  of  originality  of 
plan,  and  accuses  British  Literature  of 
deficiehcy  in  bibliographical  works. 
Ttie  Ijiier  of  these  assumptions  is 
surely  denied  by  a  numerous  host  of 
English  authors,  who  have  dedicated 
their  labours  to  that  subject;  the  for- 
mer is  a  quibble,  and  nothing  more 
than  may  be  said  of  any  new  publica- 
tion— that  none  has  been  conducted  on 
a  plan  of  precisely  the  same  combina- 
tion. There  have,  however,  beet)  pub- 
lished, in  a  periodical  scries,  the  Ccii- 
sura  Literaria,  and  later  miscellaneous 
works  of  a  similar  nature, — from  one 
t>r  the  best  of  which,  the  Retrospective 
Review,  the  present  appears  to  have 
partially  adopted  its  title.  We  may 
also  remark,  that  our  own  pages  have 
by  no  means  excluded  the  topic,  wit- 
ness the  course  of  pa|)ers  they  some 
years  ago  contained  under  the  title  of 
The  Censor,  the  curious  series  of  Fly- 
Leaves,  for  which  we  have  been  in- 
debted to  a  gentleman  eminently  dis- 
tinguished in  bibliography ;  and,  with 
regard  to  sales  by  auction,  those  of  the 
principal  importance  have  seldom  es- 
caped our  notice. 

Passing  by  these  too  common  exag- 
gerations of  prospectuses  and  prefaces, 
we  consider  the  present  a  meritorious 
attempt,  and  will  now  give  some  ac- 
count of  the  numbers  before  us.  The 
reiiior  promises  parficular  attention  to 
English  History,  and  commences  his 


work  with  three  articles  on  that  sob* 
jeci,— Ciapham's  Chronicle,  Baker's 
Chronicle,  and  Historical  Collections, 
1706.  There  are  others  on  "The 
Complaynt  of  Roderyck  Mors,  som- 
tycne  a  ffrayfryre;'*  on  the  Jestbooks, 
&c,  of  Richard  Head,  temp.  Charles 
II  ;  on  the  poems,  in  the  learned  lan- 
guages, of  Elisabeth  Jane  Weston; 
Mnndus  Alter  et  Idem,  1643;  Bisho|» 
Nici)tson's  Historical  Library ;  the 
Chronicles  of  Asser,  Walstngham, 
Geofl'rcy  of  Monmouth,  &c. ;  a  ca- 
rious contemporaneous  |Kiinphlet  re- 
lative 10  the  proposed  duel  between 
Francis  I.  and  Charles  V. ;  Eneland^s 
Interests,  b]^  Sir  Jonas  More;  \Vriaht*s 
Historia  Histrioiiica ;  Sir  Edw.  Der- 
ing*sS|K*echi*s,  1()()0  ;  &c.  &c.  A  very 
copious  list  of  Works  on  Chess  was 
als<i  commenced ;  but,  having  been 
found  to  run  to  a  {greater  extent  than 
was  ex|)eeted,  is  discontinued  in  the 
third  number,  with  the  view  of  its 
being  printed  in  a  separate  volume. 
There  are  also  analyses  of  Panzer's  An- 
nates Typographic!,  and  Renonard's 
Annales  oes  Aide;  and  a  crumbling 
review  of  Hartshorne's  Book  Rarities 
in  the  University  of  Cambridge.  Some 
of  the  arguments  of  this  i;ritic  against 
the  study  of  titles  and  colophons,  will 
certainly  be  applied  to  the  Miscellany 
in  which  his  criticism  appears,  and  be 
considered  an  attack  on  bibliography 
in  a  work  dedicated  to  that  pursuit. 
The  editor  should  have  returned  the 
article,  if  not  with  a  repetition  of  the 
arguments  he  has  elsewhere  employed 
in  his  defence,— at  least  with  the  re- 
flection (hat  "  it  is  an  ill  bird  that  de« 
6les  its  own  nest.'*  The  truth  is,  that 
in  matters  of  mere  literary  amusement, 
the  rule  of  chacun  a  sqh  gcut  may  be 
innocently  allowed  ;  and  that  all  these 
matters,  tnough  of  minor  importance, 
yet,  kept  in  their  place,  have  their  use. 
Mr.  Hartshorne  is  blamed  because  he 
has  selected  for  his  chief  attention 
such  articles  as  are  of  the  greatest 
rarity.  The  objects  of  his  book,  as 
expressed  by  the  title,  were  these, 
and  what  else  has  the  reader  aiiy  ri^ht 
to  expect  ?  To  give  a  comprehensive 
view  of  the  useful  books  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Cambridge  would  be  a  very 
wide  field,  and  one  which  no  author 
of  reputation  would  incautiously  un- 
dertake. We  are  not,  however,  ooali- 
fied  to  be  the  defenders  of  Mr.  Hartt- 
horne's  work,  as  we  know  nothing 
fuf iVicr  ut  \\.  xh^u  ihaii  It  is  very  dear.

Mkcelianeout  Review$, 


[Maicb, 


for  that  warmth  which  renders  fuel  an- 
necessary,  lodging  easy,  and  clothing 
cheap.  What  is  the  ditficulty  of  get- 
ting rid  of  a  few  rousquitoes,  compared 
with  that  of  providing  for  a  family?— 
But  it  is  possiole  that  when  a  flea  suclcs 
bloody  he  sacks  with  it  insects,  which 
have  in  him  a  natural  enemy.  Bat 
the  roost  curious  fact  in  the  insect  eco- 
nomy is,  that  they  are  always  spending 
their  time  in  the  propagation  ol  young, 
which  they  never  lire  to  rear,  or  ercn 
to  see ;  yet  the  care  which  thc^  take 
of  their  ora  exhibiu  parental  Kelin^. 
Chanse  of  season  and  loss  of  food  is 
the  evident  cause  of  this  early  dissolu- 
tion I  and  the  apparent  intention  that 
they  should  not  be  too  abundant. 

In  a  general  view,  phenomena  only 
indicate  that  state  of  perpetual  change 
and  motion  which  pervades  all  being 
whatever  ;  for  there  is  not  a  moment 
of  time  in  which  such  being  is  not  un- 
dergoin^i  a  mutation ;  and  consecjuently 
ii  in  action,  however  quiescent  it  may 
appear  to  us.  Every  animated  being 
is  a  pabulum  for  another,  and  that  ano- 
ther for  others  ;  and  Brown's  micros^ 
topical  ex|)eriments  show  that  there  is 
motion  even  in  atoms  of  si  lex.  In 
confirmation  of  these  remarks,  we  find 
here  in  p.  SOQ,  that 

**  Not  only  man,  and  the  gianti  of  the  cre- 
ation, whether  vegetable  or  animal,  are  sub- 
jected to  the  attacu  of  these  tiny  depredators, 
bat  insects  themselves  must  furnish  nourish- 
ment to  still  smaller  insects ;  and  even  the 
smallest  of  those  which  are  visible  to  the 
naked  eye  presents  a  wide  range  fur  some 
pnny  parasite.  The  bee,  the  beetle,  and  the 
dragoo-fly  roi^  be  seen  covered  with  these 
creatures.  The  spider,  at  all  tiroes  offen- 
sive, becomes  loatnsome,  when  its  body  is 
eaten  up  with  acari.  Tlie  common  fly  must 
yield  up  its  Juices  to  its  parasites,  and  the 


gaal,  -which  steals  a  miaute  drop  from  man, 
pnwidea  an  ocean  of  noarbhment  for  the 
litlle  heaapides,  which  lodge  under  the  am- 
ple folds  of  its  body.  The  minute  plant-lice, 
which  drain  the  vegetable  world,  are  them- 
selves drained  in  thdr  turn.  But  there  are 
some  species  of  insects   which  are  infected 

Sf  acari,  whose  habits  are  perfectly  aoiqae. 
r.  Gcer  observed  a  heap  of  small  acari 
piled  on  the  body  of  a  species  of  beetle  (le|>- 
tura),  which  prevented  rt  fmm  walking,  and 
appeared  to  inflict  «in  it  the  greatest  tor- 
ment. On  examining  ihis  lieap  with  a  leas, 
what  was  his  astonishment  in  discoveriag 
that  the  aeari  composing  it  formed  a  ch«n 
of  anckers  !  The  first  sacked  the  laptura, 
die  second  sucked  the  sucker,  and  the  third 
dndned  the  second." 

To  revert  to  our  first  propositiim— 
the  extirpation  uf  genera  inimical  to 
man.  That  it  is  physically  impractica- 
ble in  reference  to  insects  is  clear ;  and 
the  reason  may  be,  that  insects  perhaps 
form  an  indispensable  part  of  animal 
substance.  Without  aaopting  the  hy- 
perbole, that  man  is  a  '*  congeries  of 
insects,"  it  is  either  proved  or  reasona- 
bly assumed,  that  there  is  nothingqui- 
escent  throughout  nature  ;  that  matter 
is  divisible,  ad  infinitum  ;  and  ihst  no 
two  atoms  are  in  actual  contact.  If  it 
be  too  much  to  say  that  all  these 
atoms  consist  of  organic  beings,  it  is 
evident  that  all  organic  bein^  are  only 
nidi  of  others  ;  and  that  it  is  difllicult 
to  account  for  phenomena,  without  a 
theory  of  animation  fur  more  extensive 
than  the  present. 

But  we  must  speak  of  the  book.  It  ' 
consists  of  a  true  romance ;  a  wonderful 
display  of  divine  wisdom,  which,  as  a 
story,  as  much  exceeds  the  sublime  and 
marvellous  of  the  finest  fiction,  as  the 
glory  of  the  sun  does  the  light  of  a  can- 
dle.    It  is  a  truly  delightful  book. 


We  wish  that  Mr.  Watson  may  satisfy  the 
public,  in  regard  to  his  Plan  fir  prevaUtng 
Shift  fau$tdnvng  at  Sea,  and  IherAy  render" 
img  every  Ship  a  Life-ship  £  and  most  certainly 
we  think  if  there  can  be  a  Wfftoat,  there 
may  be  also  a  llfe-jAtp.  M  r.  Watson  has  re- 
cently given  a  very  satis&ctory  Lecture  on 
the  subject,  at  the  Royal  Institution.  He 
ezhil^teid  some  ingenious  experiments  in 
proof  of  tlie  advantages  of  his  discovery.— 
These  experiments  were  performed  on  a 
small  raoclel  of  an  80-gon  ship,  and  were 
dearly  successful  in  their  results  as  regarded 
the  model.  A  leak  was  sprung  prior  to  the 
application  of  the  air-tubes,  and  the  model, 
of  eomrse,  soon  sunk ;  the  air-tubes  were 
cAaa  Mppliedt  '^  the  ieak  sprung  as  before, 


but  a  very  different  result  occorrtd.  Far 
from  sinkuag,  the  model,  though  complalely 
filled  with  water,  and  having  weights  pro- 
portionally equal  to  the  S50  tons  Move  ^ 
average  weight  of  80-gun  ships,  attached  to 
it,  remained  above  water.

tainly no  difference  in  the  abatract,  whether 
a  corpae  it  destroyed  by  putrefaction  or  dia- 
■ection.  Other  countries,  we  belicTe,  avoid 
all  legislation  upon  the  subject,  and  we  have 
rnd  that  a  foraign  trade  is  opened  accord-

We  are  hapiiy  to  aee  that  Mr.  Dale's 
Jntroductory  Lecture  to  the  Study  of  Theo- 
tcfy  aatd  qfihe  Greek  Tutameni  in  the  IM-

•<  Dirinity  of  Christ,"  and  a  correct  under- 
standing of  Scripture. 

The  Review  qf  Ike  Argumerdt  and  Alle* 
goHona  against  the  Renewal  <f  the  East  In' 
dia  Company's  Charter^  states,  in  p.  67»

that  the  teas  sold  so  cheap  on  the  G>ntinent

unsaleable  at  all  unless  dirt  cheap. 

Lady  Byhon  baa  given  circulation  to  a 
letter,  containing  *'  Remarks  on  Mr,  Moore* s 
Notices  fjf  the  Life  of  Byron,"  The  moat 
interesting  part  is  that  relating  to  the  sepa- 
ration between  his  lordship  and  herselfi 
which  it  waa  inferred  waa  attributable  to 
undue  influence.  At  the  time  that  Lady 
Byron  first  left  him,  her  belief  was  that  his 
Lordship,  in  his  behaviour  towards  her, 
acted  under  the  influence  of  insanity  j  and 


ihe  took  that  step»  not  nodcr  the  permneioii 
of  anv  one.  She  waa  afterwaida  satisfied 
that  tne  notion  of  insanity  waa  an  illustooy 
and  every  extenuating  circumstance  being 
then  removed,  she  insisted  upon  a  separar 
tion,  under  the  advice  of  Sir  S.  Romilly  and 
Dr.  Lushingtoo,  who  were  in  possessicm  of 
all  the  circumstances.  Lady  Byron  aanexee 
a  letur  from  Dr.  Lushington  written  latt 
January,  in  which  he  declares  his  belief  that 
a  reconciliation  was  impoaaible;  and  oon- 
eludes,  by  declaring  her  only  objeot  to  bo 
that  of  vindicating  the  memory  of  her  pa- 
renta  from  the  calumny  of  having  iastigaiad 
the  separation.

Mosaic  Works. 


A  variety  of  pictures  in  Mosaic  work,  of 
.singular  beauty,  are  open  to  the  public  in 
Old  Bond-street.  They  are  the  laburioua 
accomplishment  of  Signor  Moglia,  a  Roman 
artist.  Upon  entering  the  room  where  they 
are  exhibited,  we  passed  by  a  large  half- 
length  portrait  of  His  Majesty,  in  hb  robea, 
the  sixe  of  life,  after  the  original  of  Sir 
Thomas  Lawrence,  supposing  it  to  be  an 
oil  paiftting  :  our  attention,  however,  waa 
directed  to  it  as  forming  the  most  remarkable 
and  attimctive  feature  of  the  collection. 
And  assuftodly  it  is  a  work  of  extraordinary 
labour,  patience,  and  merit.  The  whole 
work  la  composed  of  the  astonishing  number 
of  one  milliob  sixty  thousand  and  fifty  dis- 
tSaotjiieoea  of  coloured  stone.  In  the  same

of  a  snuff-box,  is  finished  in  the  sane  mi« 
note  material,  and  with  aa  cloae  an  attenUoa 
to  the  easy  gradations  of  colour  as  a  highly- 
finished  miniature.  To  the  curioua  in  art 
we  strongly  recommend  the  patronage  of 
these  ingenious  works.  They  are  the  most 
perfect  specimens  of  mosaic  work  we  ever  saw.

This  Number  contains  one  view  at  GImi- 
cester,  Rochester,  Hereford,  and  Durham  ; 
and  two  Views  at  Norwich,  Bristol,  and 
Wells.  This  work  improves  as  it  proceeds. 
We  are  highly  pleased  with  the  views  of 
Bristol,  particularly  the  Wet  Dock.  The 
general  view  of  Wells  is  also  a  charming 
print.  Nor  must  we  omit  the  clever  inter- 
nal view  of  Rochester  Castle.  All  these 
are  drawn  by  an  ingenious  young  drsftsman, 
Mr.  W.  H.  Bartlett. 

Pamroma  qf  the  Thama^from  London  to 
Riehmondf  accompanied  udih  a  Descrip- 
tion of  the  most  nmarkabU  Places.  Leigh. 

We  have  here  a  cheap,  novel,  beantiftd» 
and  gratifying  publication  s  no  lees  than  a 
view  of  the  whole  icenery  on  both  banks  of 
the  river  Thames,  from  London  to  Rich- 
mond. It  was  impossible  to  follow  the 
windings  or  preserve  tlie  width  of  the  river. 
The  scenery  is  therefore  represented  in 
straight  lines,  as  it  appears  to  the  speetator 
passmg  up  the  centre  of  the  river.  Every 
object  is  distinctly  seen,  and  the  namea  ojf 
the  places,  and  the  owners  of  the  setts  and 
places  of  business  inscribed -on  eaeh.  Its 
minateness  of  detail  is  astonishing.  Every 
person  living  on  the  banks  of  the  river  will 
easily  discover  wtiat  is  most  interesting  to 
himself.  This  Panorama  must  prove  a  de- 
lightful companion  to  all  those  who  make 
an*  equatic  excursion  to'  Richmond.  Pre- 
fixed to  the  same  neat  portfolio,  is  an  ex- 
cellent panoramic  view  of  London,  ably 
etched  and  aqnatinted  by  Mr.  Clarir,  drawn 
from  the  Adelphi,  whieh  commands  as  large 
a  portion  of  the  metropolis,  and  as  many 
interesting  objects,  as  can  perhaps  be  brought 
into  view  in  any  one  given  spot. 

Society  of  British  Artists. 
The  Seventh  annual  Exliibition  of  this 
Society  was  opened  March  tO,  for  a  private 
view.  The  collection  is  well  arrauged,  and 
the  whole,  we  think,  is  equal  if  not  superior 
to  any  previous  exhibition  of  the  saoM  So- 
ciety. The  Landscapes  are  numerous  and 
particularly  interesting,  the  portraits  good, 
and  the  fancy  and  miscellaneous  subjects, 
both  drawings  and  paintiogs,  highly  re- 
spectable.

neoy  and  oo  their  appitmcfa  to  the  citjt  the 
population  poured  out  to  welcome  their  ar- 
rival, where  they  were  received  hy  the  Em- 
peror, who  displayed  hit  whole  military  force 
on  the  occaaion.  llie  country  it  described 
at  being  capable  of  producing  every  thing 
(hat  industry  can  desire,  exhimtinga  rich 
soil,  and  moderately  well  watered.  The  po- 
pulation, however,  is  in  a  state  but  little  re- 
moved from  barbarism.  The  Emperor  sent 
some  presents  of  hyaenas,  leopardf ,  and  seve- 
tal  remarkably  fine  dogs,  fur  the  Kiog  of  Eng- 


land, which  may  be  expected  io  the  next  trana- 
ports  from  Gibraltar. 

MEXICO. 
Accounts  from  Mexico  to  the  8d  of  Jan. 
bring  intelligence  of  intestine  tumults  in  the 
Republic.  A  civil  war  bet«reen  Bnstameote 
and  Guerrero  is  raging.  On  the  99d  of  Dec. 
at  two  o'clock  A.  M.  a  revolution  broke  out 
in  Mexico,  and  shots  were  fired  in  the  streets 
for  eight  hours.  The  palace  attempted  to 
make  some  resbtance,  but  ultimately  aub- 
mitted  in  favour  of  Bustementc. 


DOMESTIC   OCCURRENCES. 


A  Bill  has  been  introduced  into  the  House 
of  Commons,  to  enable  cleigymen  and  their 
parishioners  to  commute  their  tithes,  without 
resorting  to  the  expensive  and  troi\blesome 
process  of  applying  to  Parliament  in  each 
Individual  case.  It  is  presumed^  that  this 
Bill  will  not  only  secure  the  property  of  the 
Church,  but  provide  that  it  shall  increase  or 
diminish  in  the  same  ratio  as  the  other  pro- 
perty of  the  nation.  Its  provisions  are  per- 
missive and  not  compulsory,  and  will  there- 
fore be  adopted  or  rejected,  as  (adopting  the 
phrase  of  tne  day)  they  may  be  found  **  to 
work  well  or  ill.'^ 

The  Legislature  has  at  length  taken  up 
the  question  of  Dramatic  Copywright,  which 
has  been  hitherto  more  unprotected  than  any 
other  description  of  literary  property.  Tlie 
Bill  before  Parliament  sUtes^  "That  the 
author  of  any  dramatic  writing  shall  have 
the  sole  rip;ht  of  representing  it.  That  he 
shall  preserve  that  right  in  any  such  pro- 
duction which  shall  be  so  printed  and  pub- 
lished, or  his  assignees,  for  twenty-eight 
years ;  or  should  the  author  survive  that  pe- 
riod, for  the  residue  of  his  natural  life." 
Persons  offending  against  these  provbions, 
to  pay  10/.  for  each  representation,  with 
costs  of  suit. 

Feb.  8.  Tlic  College  of  Physicians  held 
their  first  evening  assembly  for  the  season. 
The  hall  was  crowded,  and  amongst  the 
distinguished  individuals  present  were  the 
Duke  of  Wellington,  the  Lord  Chancellor, 
Earls  Westmoreland  and  Stanhope,  Lord 
Tenderden,  the  Bishops  of  Exeter  and  Lan- 
daff,  Mr.  Arbuthnot,  Mr.  Baron  Vaughan, 
8tc.  &c.  Sir  Henry  Halford,  the  President 
of  the  College,  took  the  chair,  and  in- 
formed the  company  that,  in  the  course 
of  two  months,  there  would  be  laid  before 
the  members  of  the  College  and  others 
interested,  the  statistical  accounts  of  the 
nature  of  disease  io  foreign  parts,  the 
form  it  had  assumed,  and  its  preventives. 
He  then  read  a  paper  on  particular  symp- 
toins  manifested  by  some  persons  in  cases  of 
brain  fever.  The  learned  author  spoke  with 
jgreMtJone  upon  that  peculiar  enlightening 
of  the  roteShctual  faculties  on  tlie  iinme- 


dbte  approach  of  death,  whibt  *'  the  aoul 
is  shuffling  off  its  mortal  coil,"  or  clearing 
up,  which  amounted  in  many  instances  to  a 
spirit  of  prophecy.  The  paper  waa  based 
on  the  opinions  of  Aretaeus,  and  was  full  of 
classical  allusion.  Homer,  Sophocles^  Vir- 
gil, Sbakspeare,  and  even  the  sacred  histo- 
rians, were  each  in  their  turn  quoted  in  il- 
lustration. The  subject,  though  specula- 
tive, was  so  well  digested  by  the  author  of 
the  paper,  and  supported  hy  the  writers 
whose  names  we  have  enumerated,  that  it 
was  calculated  to  make  a  vivid  impression  on 
the  minds  of  Sir  Henry's  auditors,  by  whom 
it  was  heard  with  eager  and  undivided  at- 
tention. 

March  2.  Murray  v.  Heath, — ^Tliis  was 
an  action  tried  in  the  Court  of  King'a  Bench, 
against  Mr.  Heath,  the  eminent  engraver, 
brought  by  Mr.  Murray,  the  bookseller,  for 
the  purpose  of  deciding  the  question  as  to 
whether  an  engraver  has  the  right  of  keeping 
twelve  copies  of  such  engraving  as  he  him-  ^ 
self  executed  according  to  the  orders  of  any 
one  who  employs  him.  The  case  had  been 
formerly  tried,  and  a  verdict  found  for  tlie 
defendant,  after  many  eminent  engravers  had 
been  examined  as  to  the  custom  of  the  trade. 
The  plaintiff  obtained  a  new  trial,  which 
came  on  this  day,  when  the  jury  found  for 
the  plaintiff,  thus  destroying  the  assumed 
right  of  engravers  to  keep  such  copies. 

RcviiHil  q/HungerJord  Market, — A  meeting 
of  the  proprietors  of  shares  in  this  undertak- 
ing was  held  at  the  Company's  office,  Feb. 
18th,  Wm.  Courtenay,  Esq.  in  the  chair. 
Mr.  Courtenay  stated  to  the  meeting,  tliat 
the  Committee  appointed  last  spring  had 
succeeded  in  obtaining  the  option  of  buying 
the  freehold  of  the  Hungerford  estate,  with 
all  its  market  privileges,  of  Mr.  Wise  the 
proprietor,  for  the  sum  of  1 10,000/.,  if  that 
sum,  together  with  100,000/.  required  for 
reconstructing  the  market  and  the  Houses  in 
Hungerford-street  upon  an  enlarged  scale, 
could  be  rabed  by  1 00/.  sliares.— >The  de- 
sign of  the  building,  after  which  a  model

Obituaky.— Lord  Graves. 


[Marcb, 


and  coheiress  of  William  Peere-Williaros, 
of  Cadbay,  in  Devonshire,  Esq.  He 
succeeded  bis  father  in  the  title  Feb.  9, 
1808 }  and  oiarried,  on  the  97tb  of  Jnoe 
in  the  followini;  year,  Lady  Mary  Pa^t, 
Hftb  and  younffest  daof^ter  of  Henry 
flrst  Earl  of  Uabridi^ey  and  sister  to  the 
I>reaent  Marqub  of  Afigleseyy  K.  G.  and 
G.C.B.  His  Lordship  was  elected  M.P. 
for  Oakbaropton  at  the  general  election 
in  18IS«  and  appointed  one  of  the  Lords 
of  bis  Majesty's  Bedchamber  Jvly  13, 
1813.  In  that  capacity  be  attended 
upon  ble  present  Majesty  on  both  bis 
Yisits  to  Ireland  and  Scotland. 

Lord  Graves  was  not  returned  to  par^ 
liament  in  1818,  but  in  1890  and  1896 
was  elected  for  Oakbampton,  which  seat 
he  vacated  In  ]89T»  hy  accepting  of  the 
appointment  of  a  Commissioner  of  Ex- 
cise. It  was  at  the  same  time  that  he 
resigned  his  post  of  a  I«ord  of  the  Bed- 
chamber. 

Lord  Graves  terminated  his  life  by 
tnidde^  ander  circomstanees  which 
awakened  much  popular  attention.  On 
the  previous  day  he  bad  attended  bis 
duty  as  Commissioner  of  Eacise,  and 
dined  out  in  the  eveninf^  with  Sir  George 
Murray:  he  breakfasted  late  on  Sunday, 
but  was  cheerful}  and  was  to  have 
dined  out  af^ain  on  that  day  with  his 
brutbcp-in-law  the  Marquit  of  Angle* 
sey,  when,  In  the  abort  interval  be- 
tween three  o'clock  and  the  hour  of 
dressing  fi>r  dinner,  he  Arst  despatched 
a  letter  to  Lady  Graves,  at  Hampton* 
court,  by  one  of  the  coaches,  and  then 
perpetrated  the  fatal  act.  The  verdict 
of  a  eoroner's  inquest  was,  *'That  the 
decfaaed  died  by  a  wound  inflicted  by 
himsel/'^  his  throat,  in  a  sudden  fit  of 
delirium,**  One  part  of  tlie  aflkir  is 
still  enveloped  In  much  mystery,  but  it 
appear!  too  probable  tbat  his  Lordablp 
fell  a  victim  to  his  own  nice  sense  oif 
honour,  which  was  wounded  by  a  num- 
ber of  malicious  reports  circulated  re- 
speetlnip  bis  lady,  which  had  formed 
tlie  subject  of  caricatures. 

Lady  Graves  had  been  separated  from 
his  Lordship  for  some  months,  and  we 
are  told  that  the  letter  before- mentiuned 
was  an  ai»awer  to  one  in  which  she  bad 
requested  an  interview  on  Mcmday,  and 
tbat  the  family  dinner  at  Lord  Angle- 
•e/s  was  intended  for  the  arrangement 
of  some  matters  which  were  to  be  a 
flulirject  of  discussion  at  tbat  interview. 

Lord  Graves  was  in  person  tall  and 
portly ;  in  manner  amiable,  goodUna- 
tored,  and  unaffected.  We  need  not 
•ay,  therefore,  tbat  he  is  legretted  by  a 
laiye  circle  of  acquaintances,  to  whom 
/r4r  fiianaefa  and  companionable  quali- 
rifff  ffeadend  fajm  Accdptablty  and  thai 


the  melancholy  termination  of  his  life 
is  deeply  deplored  by  those  friends  and 
relations  by  whom  bis  temper  and  dis- 
position made  him  beloved. 

Lady  Graves  was  at  one  time  consi- 
dered a  beauty,  and  is  still  thouf^bt  to 
be  a  very  fine  woman,  although  the  ne- 
cesaity  of  wearing  glasses,  from  a  slight 
shortness  of  sight,  somewhat  dimi- 
nishes the  first  impressions  of  bar  otbat^ 
■wise  very  prepossessing  appearance. 
Her  Ladyship  bad  occupied,  for  about 
•even  months,  a  pratuitoos  residence 
assigned  her  at  Hampton-court,  a  limited 
Income  and  large  family  preventing  his 
Lordship  from  keeping  up  an  estab&lsb- 
ment.  Their  children  (of  whieli  ten 
survive)  were  five  sons  and  seven  daugh- 
ters:—I.  the  Right  Hon.  WilHam-Tho- 
mas  now  Lord  Gravesi  bom  in  1804^ 
and  now  a  Captain  in  the  9d  FotjH 
Guards ;  S.  the  Hon.  Jane-Anne ;  8. 
the  Hon.  Caroline-North  ;  4.  the  Hon. 
Louisa- Eliaabetby  manied,  in  1897»  to 
Charies  Heneage,  Esq.,  nephew  to  Lord 
•Yarboroughi  5.  the  Hon.  Mary-Eliaa- 
hetb-Cbarlotte,  who  died  in  I897»  egcd

Adolphus-Edward-Paget ;  and  19.  the 
Hon.  Paget-Trefusis,  who  died  io  1896^ 
in  his  first  year. 

The  remains  of  Lord  Graves  were  de- 
posited in  the  vault  of  tbe  ehap^  in 
Regent-street,  being  tbe  nearest  place 
of  ihUrment  to  the  boose  in  which  he 
died. 


Right  Hon.  GEOROtTiKmrniY. 

Jan,  95.  At  bis  house  in  Seville  Row, 
aged  68,  tbe  Right  Hon.  George  Tiemey, 
M.P.  for  Knaresborou^. 

Mr.  Tierney  was  of  Irish  descent,  and 
was  born  at  Gibraltar,  March  )iO,  1761, 
the  son  of  a  Spanish  merchant,  tradioK 
under  the  firm  of  Tierney,  Lilly,  and  Ro- 
barts,  of  Lawrence  Poontney  Lane.  He 
was  educated  at  Eton,  and  at  Peterbouse, 
Cambridge,  where  he  took  the  degree  of 
LL.  B.  in  1784.  His  destination  in  life 
was  tbe  bar,  to  which  he  was  called,  but 
which,  from  the  decease  of  three  bro- 
thers, his  private  fortune  enabled  him 
early  to  relinquish  for  the  more  lofty 
arena  of  the  senate. 

Previously,  however,  to  attaining  that 
obfect  of  his  ambition,  be  became  an  au- 
thor, by  the  publication  of  **  Tbe  Real 
Situation  of  the  East  India  Compaoy 
considered  t  with  respect  to  their  rights 
and  privileges,  1787."  8vo.

An  eminent  individual,  a  friend  of

to  a  mott  numerout  circle  of  friendt  and

moval of  Dr.  Comcwall  to  Worecster,

Arthur  Clifford,  Esq. 

Jan,  16.  At  Winchester,  aged  58, 
Arthur  Clifford,  Esq.,  uncle  to  Sir  Tho- 
mas Aston  Constable,  of  Tixall,  in  Staf- 
fordshire, Bart.,  brother-in-law  to  Sir 
Charles  Wolseley,  Bart,  and  to  Thomas 
WrlJ,  Esq.  (recently  created  a  Cardinal), 
and  Arst  cousin  to  Lord  Clifford. 

Mr.  Clifford  was  the  sixth  of  the  eight 
sons  (and  twin  with  Lewis,  who  died 
unmarried  in  1806)  of  the  Hon.  Thomas 
Clifford,  of  Tixall  (fourth  son  of  Hugh, 
third  Lord  Clifford),  by  the  Hon.  Barbara 
Aston,  younger  daughter  and  coheiress 
of  James  fifth  Lord  Aston,  by  Lady 
Barbara  Talbot,  daughter  of  George 
fodrth  Earl  of  Shrewsbury.  He  married 
June  15,  1809,  Elixa- Matilda,  second 
daughter  of  Donald  Macdonald,  Esq.  of 
Berwick-upon-Tweed  ;  but  by  that  lady, 
who  died  in  August  1 837*  we  believe 
bad  no  issue. 

To  Mr.  Clifford  the  world  was  in- 
debted for  the  publication  of  a  more 
complete  collection  of  the  State  Papers 
of  Sir  Ralph  Sadler.  Queen  Elisabetl/s 
chief  Minister  in  her  affairs  with  Scot- 
land, than  had  previously  been  pub- 
lished in  17S0.  The  private  MSS.  of 
Sir  Ralph  had  descended  to  the  Clifford 
family  through  that  of  Lord  Aston,  into 
which  the  heiress  of  Sadler  (Sir  Ralph*s 
grand-daughter)  was  married.  In  1809 
ware  published,  in  two  quarto  volumes, 
'*  The  State  Papers  and  Letters  of  Sir 
Ralph  Sadler,  edited  by  Arthur  Clifford, 
Esq. ;  to  which  is  added,  a  Memoir  of 
tha  Life  of  Sir  R.  Sadler,  with  Histori- 
cal Notes,  by  Walter  Scott,  Esq."— so 
that  his  name  appears  associated  in  the 
same  title-page  with  the  most  successful 
author. of  the  present  age. 

In  1811  were  announced  <<  The  State 
Papers  and  Letters  of  Sir  Walter  Aston, 
MherwMrd  Lord  Aston,  Ambassador  in 


jSpain  in  the  reigns  of  James  I.  aftd 
Charles  I."  as  printing  uniformly  with 
those  of  Sir  Ralph  Sadler,  in.  two 
qoaKo  volumes  (see  our  vol.  lxxxl  L 
840),  but  we  believe  they  were  never 
published. 

In  1813  Mr.  Clifford  printed,  in  4tOi, 
«<  Tixall  Poetrv,  with  Notes  and  Ula^ 
trationsi"  and  in  1814,  in  8vo,  •<  Carr 
men  Seculare ;  an  Ode  in  commemora- 
tion of  the  Hundredth  Anniversary  of 
the  Accession  of  the  House  of  Hanover 
to  the  British  Throne." 

In  1 8 1 7»  whilst  Mr.  Clifford  was  spend- 
ing some  time  at  Paris  with  his  brother^ 
the  late  Sir  Thomas  Hugh  CliflEord 
(afterwards  Constable),  Bart.*  the  two 
brothers  amused  themselves  in  there 
printing,  in  4to,  **  An  Historical  and 
Topographical  description  of  the  Parish 
of  Tixall,  in  the  County  of  Stafford,  and 
of  the  most  remarkable  places  in  tho 
immediate  neighbourhood.  By  Sir  Tho- 
mas Clifford,  Bart,  and  Arthur  Clifford, 
Esq. ;  embellished  with  fine  engravings, 
of  which  three  are  from  original  paint* 
ings :  1.  of  the  famous  Judge  Littleton  1 
8.  of  Viscount  Stafford,  who  was  be- 
headed in  168S ;  3.  of  Walter,  first  Lord 
Aston."  Also,  in  8vo,  "  Collectanea 
Cliffordiana,  in  three  parts:  1.  Anec- 
dotes of  Illustrious  Personages  of  the 
name  of  Clifford  1  S.  Historical  and 
Genealogical  Notices  respecting  the  ori- 
gin and  antiquity  of  the  Clifford  family  1 
3.  Clifford  I  by  Arthur  Clifford,  Esq." 

Still  more  recently  Mr.  Clifford  pub- 
lished an  Essay  on  an  improved  method 
of  teaching  the  Dead  Languages. 

M.  H.  BcACH,  Esq.  ^ 

Jan.  5.  At  his  seat,  Williamstrip 
Park,  near  Cirencester,  in  his  70th  year, 
Michael  Hicks  Beach,  esq.  formerly  M.P. 
for  that  borough ;  brother  to  Sir  William 
Hick^y  of  Whitcombe  Park,  in  Glouces- 
tershire, Bart. 

He  was  the  younger  son  of  Sir  Howe 
the  sixth  and  late  Baronet,  by  Martha, 
daughter  of  the  Rev.  John  Browne.  He 
married,  in  1779,  Henrietta-Maria,  only 
daughter  and  heiress  of  William  Beach, 
of  Nether-Avon,  E«q.,  with  whom  be 
became  possessed  of  considerable  pnH 
perty,  and  in  consequence  took  the 
name  of  Beach. 

The  estate  of  Williamstrip  Park  was 
purchased  by  Mr.  Beach  of  Col.  BlJu;k-

October  1795  he  embarked  for  the  West 
Indies,  where  he  served  in  the  expedi- 
tion against  St.  Lueie  and  St.  Vincent ; 
was  at  the  storming  of  the  Vigie,  where 
his  regiment  led ;  and  was  afterwards 
employed  for  seven  months  in  unremit- 
.ting  service  in  the  woods  against  the 
Charibs,  where  he  bad  five  companies 
under  his  command.  He  was  promoted 
to  the  rank  of  Captain-Lieutenant  in 
1796.  In  1797  he  served  in  the  expedi- 
tion against  Porto  Rico,  after  which  he 
nturned  to  Europe, 
^^P^*'"  Stewart  next  proceeded   to 

uibfMUar,  sLnd  was  in  the  expedition  oV 


1799  against  Minorca.  He  was  taken 
prisoner  at  sea,  and  after  having  been 
detained  for  five  months  in  Spain,  was 
exchanged,  and  embarked  with  hie  re|ci* 
ment  from  Minorca  in  July  1800,  in  the 
expedition  to  Egypt  under  Sir  Ralph 
Abercromby,  and  was  present  in  tlie 
several  actions  of  that  campaign.  He 
was  preferred  to  a  Captaincy  iu  the  90th 
fool,  Dec.  r5,  1800 ;  restored  to  the  48d 
in  1808;  and  promoted,  in  1804,  to  a 
Msjority  in  the  78th,  in  tiie  eoammnd 
of  the  light  battalion  of  which  he  served 
at  the  battle  of  Malda,  in  1806.  In 
1808  he  was  appointed  Lient.-Colonel 
in  the  West  India  Rangers;  in  1810  he 
was  present  at  the  capture  of  Gatda- 
loope,  for  whidh  service,  and  that  at

appointed  a  Companion  of  the  Bath. 

He  was  placed  on  the  half-pay  of  the 
96th  foot  in  1815 ;  promoted  to  the 
rank  of  Colonel  in  1814,  and  to  thai  of 
Major-General  in  18S5. 

In  183d  Garth  (as  the  Cohmel  was 
styled  by  his  coiintfymen)  publislied,  in 
two  volumes  octavo,  **  Sketdiea  of  the 
Character,  Manners,  and  present  Con- 
dition of  the  Scottish  Highlanden,  with 
an  account  of  the  Military  Servicet  of 
the  Highland  Regiments ;"  a  work 
which  attracted  great  notice,  and  which 
run  through  two  considerable  editions. 
The  interesting  facts  and  singular  anec- 
dotes which  it  contains,  go  far  to  fill  up 
the  masterly  outline  drawn  by  Sir  Walter 
Scott  in  reviewing  the  Culloden  Papers 
in  the  Quarterly  Review. 

In  every  relation  of  lifSe,  Gen.  Stewart 
was  highly  esteemed ;— -a  brave  and 
gallsnt  soldier,  a  patrmtic  and  warm 
lover  of  his  country,  he  was  known  to 
a  very  wide  circle  in  society ;  and  whe- 
ther as  tlie  officer,  the  citiien,  the  Scots- 
man, or  the  man,  he  was  covered  with 
golden  opinions  by  all  ranks  and  claMes. 
It  was  only  about  twelve  months  ago 
that,  with  all  the  spirit  and  gaietv  of  a 
youthful  veteran,  he  sailed  for  St.  LAieie, 
to  the  government  of  which  lie  was  ap- 
pointed; he  jested  of  his  return  and 
marriage  at  the  end  of  a  few  years :  lie 
had  been  inured  to  the  worst  of  elinatcs 
and  the  greatest  of  hardships.  Veiy 
recently,  in  a  letter  from  him,  written 
in  the  most  cheerful  manner,  he  eoo- 
trasted  the  healthy  state  of  llie  island 
with  what  it  was  when  he  visited  it  as  a 
subaltern ;  but,  alas !  for  the  prbapeet 
of  human  life,  in  how  short  a  time  the 
iidings  have  arrived  that  this  excellent 
roan  is  no  more.

Obituary.—  Vice^Admvral  Fraser. 


[March, 


W«  nest  6od  our  officer  •ervlog  m  First 
Lieateoant  of  the  Panther,  in  the  action 
with  the  combined  fleetly  afUr  the  relief  of 
GibralUtf,  in  l7Bi,  by  Lord  Howe.  He  was 
afierwards  remof  ed  into  the  Kaby,  of  sixty- 
four  Euos,  one  of  the  ships  detached  from 
the  neety  and  ordered  to  the  West  Indies. 
On  the  passage  out»  £slling  in  with  the  ene- 
my's squadron  to  windward  of  ^arbadoes* 
the  Rubjy  after  aa  action  of  forty-eight  mi- 
mites  within  pistol-shot^  took  the  Solitaire^ 
of  equal  force,  which  had  thirty-eight  men 
kiiled>  and  above  forty  woooded,  though  the 
Ruby  had  not  a  man  killed,  and  but  a  few 
slightly  wonoded. 

Having  brought  the  Ruby  back  to  Eng- 
land, Lieutenant  Fraser  accompanied  Sir  K. 
Hu|^es  in  the  Adamant  to  the  Leeward  Is- 
lands, where  he  continued  until  the  Autumn 
of  1786;  at  which  station  he  had  the  good 
fortune  of  acquiring  the  acouaintance  and 
friendship  of  Lord  Nelson,  wno  then  com- 
manded toe  Boreas  frigate,  la  June,  1737, 
Mr.  Fraser  was  appointed  to  the  Colossus, 
seventy-four  j  but  on  the  armament  taking 
t  place  in  October,  he  was  removed  by  Admi- 
ral Pigot,  to  be  first  of  bis  own  snip,  the 
Hoyal  Sovereign,  at  Plymouth.  Thus,  when 
the  armament  ceased,  he  obtained  the  rank 
of  Commander  on  tlie  1st  December  of  that 
year ;  but  remained  unemployed  till  the  Au- 
tumn of  1 790,  when  he  was  appointed  to  the 
Savage  sloop,  on  the  Greenock  station,  and 
where  he  continued  till  the  latter  end  of  1 799. 
The  Savage  was  then  ordered  to  the  River, 
to  assist  in  carrying  to  the  Nore  the  newly- 
impreased  men :  and  from  thence  was  sent 
to  join  Admiral  M*Bride,  in  the  Downs. 

At  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  with 
France,  Captain  Fraser  captured  la  Custiac, 
a  privateer,  and  several  Danish  shins  ladeu 
with  com,  bouud  to  that  country.  In  April, 
1793^  he  was  directed  to  take  the  Ferret 
sloop  and  several  cutters  under  his  com- 
mand, and  proceed  to  Ostend :  here  he  re- 
ceived a  requisition  from  the  Baron  de  My- 
lius,  to  land  and  take  possession  of  the  town 
and  garrison  ;  with  which  he  complied,  and 
ran  the  Savage  into  the  harbour,  landing 
about  500  men,  partly  marines,  and  partly 
seameui  On  the  5th,  he  received  from  the 
Court  of  Brussels,  the  intelligence  that  Ge- 
neral Dumourier  hod  arrested  Buernonville 
and  the  other  Commissioners  of  the  National 
Convention,  and  sent  them  to  the  Count  de 
Clayrfait.  This  intelligence,  of  infinite  con- 
sequence to  the  war,  he  instantly  trans- 
mitted to  the  Admiralty ;  and  it  was  received 
in  so  very  short  a  time,  that  Lord  Chatham 
could  scarcely  believe  the  officer  who  brought 
the  despatch.  In  four  days  afterwards,  the 
French  army  refnsiuc  to  march  to  Paris  with 
Domourier,  he  was  himself  obliged  to  fly, 
which  of  course  pat  an  end  to  the  armistice 
betvetn  the  Prince  of  Cobourg  and  him.  This 
"^  Gsptain  Vn»et  received  through 

md,  and  was  equally  fbrtanatft 


in  the  speedy  transmission  of  it  to  the  Ad- 
miralty. As  be  necessarily  lived  on  shore, 
the  Duke  of  York  was  pleased  to  order  the 
Commissary-general  to  pay  him  one  pound 
sterling  per  day  for  his  table*  which  was 
continued  all  the  time  he  remained  on  th« 
station.  Sir  Charles  Ross,  with  the  d7th 
regiment,  relieved  him  in  the  command  on 
shore,  on  the  80th  of  April ;  but  he  still 
continued  as  Commander  of  die  Naval  de- 
partment, until  events  required  a  greater 
force,  and  officers  of  superior  rank.  On 
the  1st  of  July,  1798,  he  was  promoted  to 
Post  rank,  in  the  Redoubt,  of  twenty  guns, 
the  Savage's  crew  turned  over  into  hisr,  and 
sent  to  the  same  station ;  where  he  mate- 
rially contributed  to  the  defisnce  of  Nieuporty 
by  anchoring  close  in  slu)re,'and  firing  into 
the  enemy's  camp,  over  the  sand-hills. 

In  July,  1794,  Captain  Fraser  was  ap- 
pointed to  the  Proserpine  frigate,  attached 
to  the  North-Sea  fleet,  under  the  orders  of 
Admiral  Duncan  j  on  which  service  he  con- 
tinued until  December  1795,  and  then  re- 
moved into  the  Shannon,  a  new  frigate  of 
thirty-two  guns,  stationed  on  the  coast  of 
Ireland,  where  he  captured  the  following 
French  privateers:  le  Duguay  Trouiu,  of 
twenty-four  guns,  and  150  men;  le  Grand 
lodien,  twenty  guns,  195  men;  la  Julie, 
eighteen  guns,  1 20  men  j  and  la  Mouche, 
sixteen  guns,  1  S3  men. 

In  1799,  Captain  Fraser  obtained  the  com- 
mand of  the  Diana,  a  thirty-eight  gun  fri- 
gate, in  which  he  escorted  a  large  fleet  to 
the  West  Indies,  where  he  intercepted  seve- 
ral privateers.  Having  been  in  the  course 
of  one  year  twice  attacked  by  the  yellow  fe- 
ver, he  was  most  reluctantly  obli^^  to  re- 
sign his  ship,  and  return  to  England  as  a 
passenger  in  the  Invincible. 

Captain  Fraser's  next  appointment  was  to 
the  Berschermer,  of  fifty-four  guns,  em- 
ployed as  a  guard-ship  in  the  Swin,  until  the 
end  of  the  war.  He  then  joined  the  Am- 
phion  frigate,  and  conveyed  the  Duke  of 
Cambridge  and  suite  to  Cuxhaven.  In  1 804, 
he  was  appointed  to  the  Weymouth,  another 
frigate ;  and  soon  after  to  the  Hindostan, 
of  fifty-four  guns.  In  her  lie  visited  the 
East  Indies ;  from  whence  he  returned  in  the 
summer  of  1806*,  and  commanded  in  sue- 
cession  the  Prince,  a  second* rate,  and  Van- 
guard, of  seventy-four  guns.  The  latter 
vessel,  commissioned  by  him  in  January  1 807, 
formed  part  of  the  fleet  under  Lord  Gambier 
in  the  expedition  against  Copenhagen. 

When  the  Commander-in-Chief  returned 
to  EngUnd  with  the  Danish  prizes,  Captain 
Fraser  was  ordered  to  remain  with  the  Van- 
guard, and  a  considerable  number  of  fri- 
gates and  sloops,  for  the  blockade  of  Zea- 
land, and  the  protection  of  the  trade  still  in 
the  Baltic.  He  remained  off  Copenhagen 
till  the ^  1st  of  November. 

On  the  Vanguard  being  ordered  again  to

MINOR    CORRESPONDENCE. 


A  CoKiiitroNDiiiT  obtenret,  that  the 
man  who  bu)  boiighl  a  portion  of  the  Crypt 
detcribtd  in  our  pitstnt  Number,  p.  897 » 
and  deetined  for  demolition,  has  iuui  the 
laal  to  cut  a  tcction  aoroea  it,  and  clear  out 
two  of  the  nriocipal  pillars  to  their  baat; 
thus  an  eaoeileot  view  of  the  whole  style  of 
the  building  ii  afforded  to  the  architectural 
amiauanr. 

Mr.  FosMOKB,  in  reply  to  J.  I.'e  remark, 
p.  197,  observes,  that  he  was  perfectly 
aware  of  fFUIiam  Earl  of  Hontingdon  hav- 
ing been  previously  called  to  Parliament  as 
Lord  irmiaM  Clintoa  (tic  in  Rot.  Farl.) 
to  distinguish  him  from  his  brother  John 
Lord  Clinton  i  but  that  the  Earl  having 
been  buried  at  Mastoke,  it  was  tmpncfible 
that  he  cquld  be  the  99^!Uam  Lord  Clintoo 
interred  in  the  Priory  at  Sandwich.  (See 
Hasted,  iv.  fSO,  ed.  fol)  which  kst  William 
was  the  frtt  Lord  so  named  of  the  parent 
baronial  line  still  extant.  Mr.  F.  has  there- 
fore committed  no  mistake  whatever. -<-He 
thanks  J.  L  for  his  geotlemanlv  courtesy  in 
reference  to  the  matter.  Mr.  F.  thinks  that 
the  elucidation  of  the  confusion  between 
Reynold  de  Sandwich,  and  Reynold  de  din- 
ion,  is  as  |)robable  as  it  it  ingenious,  be- 
cause  in  a  laborious  research  of  more  thati 
ikrte  hundred  records  -aud  mannscri|jts  in 
the  public  offices,  British  Museum,  Ike. 
Mr.  F.  could  find  no  mention  whuever  of  a 
Revnold  de  Clinton. 

H.  PiooEON  save,  that  in  the  statement 
of-  the  weights  of  several  Church  bells,  p. 
JM>3,  pt.  ii.  vol.  zcix.  there  is  an  error  in 
the  weight  of  the  tenor  of  St.  Chad's  at 
•Shrewsbury,  which  iu  fact  wciglis  upwards 
of  4600lbs.  instead  of  a400lbs.  as  there 
mentioned  ;  so  that  it  may  be  considered  to 
rank  as  the  sixth  heaviest  peal  in  the  king- 
dom, instead  of  the  thirteenth. 

J.  R.  F.  will  find  a  memoir  of  William 
Loe,  B.D.  in  Wood's  A  theme  Oxonienses 
(by  Bliss),  vol.  in.  col.  188;  the  title  he 
has  sent  adds  another  to  the  list  of  Loe's

In  the  account  of  the  Almshouse  at

G.  H.  W.  double  whether  the  writer  of 
the  article  on  the  late  Mrs.  FiuGeraki  (p. 
189)  is  correct»  in  calling  Col.  Richard

pedigree,  &c.  he  is  called  Richard  FitzGe- 
ndd,  esq.  In  the  same  article  (page  183) 
the  Very  Rev.  Peter  Browne  is  erroneously 
euted  to  have  been  «*  half-brother  to  dte 
lau  Marquess  of  Sligo."  That  nobleman 
had  bat  one  brother,  the  Right  Hon.  Denis 
Browne.  If  Dean  Browne  had  been  broUier 
to  tike  Marquess  (by  the  frther'e  side),  he 
would  have  been  *<  the  Hon."  and  Very  Rev. 
The  funily  of  Cassan  sprung  from  France  : 
the  first  ftf  the  name  m  IrvUnd  was  a  French 
physioian. 

P.  says,  *•  It  was  abcmt  half  a  centory  i^ 
that  Dr.  Bagot,  Dean  of  Christ  Church,  in 
opposing  the  repeal  of  the  Test  Acta«  in- 
voked the  shades  of  old  Crtnmer  and  Lati' 
mer  in  a  most  pathetic  manner,  amidst  m 
full  convocation,  all  uniting  with  him  im 
senthoent,  and  sympathixing  with  him  in 
fiseling.  In  speaking  of  those  venerable 
prelates,  he  quoted  several  lines  from  some 
recent  collection  of  poems,  of  which  I  re- 
collect only 
_  Cranmeri  dia  senectus,

iheCEKTLEMAN'a  Maoazinb  enjoyed  the  honour  of  enrolling  amongst  itsCor~ 
reapondents  that  giant  in  claaaical  literature,  the  celebrated  Pokson.  who  ill 
1788  and  1789,  availed  himself  of  this  channel  for  the  communicatiou  to 
learned  world  of  hla  Letters  to  Archdeacon  Travis  *  on  the  fantout  text,  1  Ji

clu<Ung  such  communications,  had  lost  much  of  its  ancient  connexion  mitli 
the  Uaruing  of  Greece  and  Rome :  but,  the  Classical  Journal  having  now 
ceased,  the  want  of  an  arena  in  which  classical  contests  tDoy  be  regularly 
carried  on,  has  indnced  the  Editor  of  the  Gentleman's  Magasine  to  point 
out  hit  pages  as  a  proper  channel  through  which  Scholars  may  communit- 
ette  with  each  other;  and  he  doubts  not,  that  the  credit  which  the  Maga-

could  but  this  Work  enjoy  the  auspicious  countenance  of  the  learned  of  th«

friends,  by  way  uf  introduction  to  the  communication  of  an  old  and  valtiafaM

be  most  agreeable  to  enter  upon  tome 
general  •ubjecii  connected  with  che- 
mistry, or  to  see  the  result  of  exf)eri- 
mcnts ;  and  upon  Dr.  Johnson  jHrefer- 
ring  the  latter,  he  was  asked  il  there 
was  any  one  in  particular  that  he 
would  wish  to  have  performed  $  when 
Dr.  Johnson  replied,  "  I  have  been 
told  that  there  are  two  cold  fluids 
which,  when  mixed,  will  take  fire;  I 
do  not  credit  it."  •*  But,"  replied  Dr. 
Walson,  '*  I  will  soon  gire  vou  ocular 
demonstration  of  the  possibility  of  the 
fact."  U|X)n  which  he  called  (n  his 
experimental  assistant  (Mr.  Hoflfnian) 
to  procure  two  crucibles,  and  fix  them 
to  the  ends  of  two  pretty  long  ruds,  and 
baring  put  into  one  of  them  rectified 
spirit  of  tnrpentine,  and  into  the  other 
concentrated  vitriolic  acid,  with  due 

Eroportion  of  the  nitric,  they  were 
eld  out  of  the  window  of  the  labora- 
tory, and  then  mixed ;  when  the  flame 
which  immediately  ensued  was  such, 
as  to  induce  Dr.  Johnson  to  be  thank- 
ful that  the  explosion  was  on  the  out- 
side of  the  window. 

In  the  eveninff,  a  party  consisting  of 
the  heads  of  colleges,  &c.  met  to  en- 
joy his  company,  and  entertain  him 
(in,  I  believe,  the  library  of  Trinity 
College);  when  he  left  the  table  in 
quest  of  a  book,  which  he  took  up, 
and  appeared  to  l>e  deeply  engaged 
with,  in  the  mean  time,  the  con- 
versation turned  upon  assigning  the 
reason  that  country  gentlemen  were  so 
fond  of  field  diversions,  which  bavins 
reached  Dr.  Johnson's  ears,  he  closed 
bis  book,  and  called  out,  "  I  will  tell 
you  the  reason ;  it  is  because  they  feel 
the  vacuity  of  their  minds  less  when 
they  are  in  motion  than  at  rest.'*

Mr.  Urban,  Apjil  G. 

SOME  person  has,  I  see,  replied  to 
my  communication  concerning 
'*  Intrusive  Clergymen,*'  by  a  most 
extraordinary  Jesuitism,  viz.  by  assign- 
ing to  a  tingle  parish  circumstances 
stated  by  me  to  have  occurred  in  three 
distinct  parishes»  of  which  the  in- 
cumbents are  exemplary  dignitaries 
(two  of  them  resident),  and  their  cu- 
rates unimpeachable  characters;  and, 
as  subscribers  to  the  Christian  Know- 
ledge Society,  willing  donors  of  Bibles. 
Were  there  any  want  of  such  gifts, 
and  neglect  of  duly  in  these  parishes, 
%%'hich  conld  vindicate  intrusion  I  and. 


if  not,  what  brought  these  oflicioai 
persons  there?  Only  this — that  ibe 
resident  clergyman  should  either  so|>> 
port  the  Bible  Society,  or  ha\*e  a  p»> 
rochial  parly  excited  against  him, 
though  it  is  inconsistent  with  duty 
and  integrity  to  patronize  an  institulraa 
which  refuses  to  give  away  Praye^ 
books,  and  yet  stitches  into  the  Bibles 
fanatical  tracts. 

1  shall  end,  finally,  with  the  folloir- 
ing  quotation  f'roin  &shop  Mant : 

**  Whatever  diligence  the  Church  mi^ 
call  upoQ  her  ministeri,  and  it  may  in  coo- 
sequence  lie  their  duty  to  practite  in  any  ii 
the  respects  which  have  been  noticed,  or  is 
any  olliers,  which  will  be  perpetually  offer- 
ing  theinselves  to  the  mind  of  a  watchful 
and  conscientious  clergyman,  such  dik' 
genet  is  to  be  limited  toithin  the  sphere  qfhtt

SUUM  CuiQUE. 

Mr.  Urban,  April  I. 

WHEN  did  (he  Welsh  assume  the 
Leek  as  their  national  Badge? 
Some  of  the  antiquaries  of  that  nation 
disclaim  it  as  their  cognizance;  and 
Owen,  in  the  •*  Cambrian  Biography,'* 
says  it  was  worn  in  consequence  of  the 
Cymhortha,  a  practice  of  ihe  farmers, 
who  met  to  plough  ihe  Beldi  of  a  |)Oor 
man,  and  brought  each  a  |X>rtion  of 
Jeeks  for  the  pottage. 

Tlie  Welsh  heraldry  seems  to  have 
been  peculiar;  for  Dal  la  way  says,  they 
did  not  adopt  the  usual  symbols  before 
the  lime  of  Edward  1.  their  bearings 
being  a  sort  of  historic  paintings.  The 
Celtic  and  Cumraeg  races  certainly 
carried  regular  marlts  of  distinction 
between  clans,  painted  on  their  t.ir- 
gels ;  but  much  information  is  wanted 
on  this  mystical  science. 

I  should  feel  obliged  if  I  could  ob- 
tain, also,  information  respecting  the 
time  when  the  Harp  became  the  na- 
tional arms  of  Ireland.  Does  it  ap|)edr 
before  the  time  of  Henry  V HI.  ?  Cas- 
saneus  de  Gloria  Mundi  says,  the  an- 
cient arms  of  Ireland  were--a  king, 
seated,  and  holding  a  lily.  Or,  in  a  field 
Sable ;  and  1  find  that  U lysses  Aldrova- 
dus  represents  the  shield  as  containing, 
in  one  part— Or,  an  arm  holding  a 
sword ;  and,  in  the  other — ^a  demi-eagle 
in  a  field  Argent.  Are  there  any  re- 
presentations of  these  ancient  arms; 
or  where  are  we  likely  to  learn  more 
concerning  them  ?

Yours,  &c.  A.  J.  K. 

Mr.  Urban,     Grimshif,  Jan,  £?• 

I  SEND  you  the  analysis  of  a  theory 
which  I  am  preparing  for  the  press, 
in  hopes  that  some  of  your  ingenious 
€3or respondents  may  be  induced  to 
pursue  the  subject,  and,  through  the 
medium  of  your  columns,  give  me  the 
benefit  of  their  investigations. 

Dr.  Whitaker  says,  "  if  any  anti- 
quary should  think  fit  to  write  a  disser- 
tation on  the  antiquity  of  nicknames 
in  Encland,  he  may  meet  with  ample 
materials  in  the  Compotus  of  Bolton 
Abbey;  for  here  are  found  Adam  Blun- 
der, Simon  Paunche,Richard  Drunken, 
Tom  Noght,  and  Whirle  the  Carter; 
the  last,  I  suppose,  by  an  antiphrasis, 
from  the  slowness  of  his  rotatory  mo- 
tion.'* *  The  general  doctrine  of  mr- 
namet,  however,  is  too  complex  to  be 
reduced  to  any  simple  theory ;  too  ar- 
bitrary to  be  methodically  arranged  and 
systematized  to  the  entire  satisfaction 
of  the  theorist ;  and  loo  confused, 
both  in  its  nature  and  design,  to  afford 
any  certain  clue  by  which  he  may 
be  safely  guided  through  the  mazy  la- 
l^rinih,  whether  his  design  be  to  trace 
their  origin,  or  to  pursue  the  ramified 
themie  through  all  its  complicated 
windings  and  sinuosities. 

If  our  retearches  be  commenced  at 
that  |)eriod  when  surnames  were  first 
assumed  by  oor  nobility  as  marks  of 
distinction  and  pre-eminence,  we  are 
still  enveloped  in  doubt  and  unccr- 
uinty ;  for  the  few  names  of  that  era 

*  HktOTy  of  Craven,  p.  a4«. 


which  may  be  considered  as  originals, 
afford  no  specific  rule  to  account  for 
the  myriads  which  are  in  existence  at 
the  present  lime.  For  an  approxima- 
tion to  truth,  therefore,  we  must  look 
to  contingencies,  both  of  ancient  and 
modern  occurrence;  for  there  does  not 
exist  a  title  of  honour,  or  an  epithet  of 
disgrace ;  an  appellation  of  scorn,  deri- 
sion, or  contempt;  a  learned  profes- 
sion, a  menial  employment,  an  article 
of  common  utility,  a  trade,  a  haodi* 
craft,  a  locality,  an  excellence,  or  a 
misfortune,  but  has  given  rise  to  a  fa- 
mily name ;  which,  receiving  varioos 
changes  and  modifications  from  the 
effects  of  a  provincial  dialect,  vicioas 
pronunciation,  and  pun,  has  produced 
the  unlimited  number  of  surnamca 
with  which  the  world  now  abonnda. 

I  am  persuaded,  however,  that  the 
surname  is  not  an  auumption  of 
these  comparatively  modern  timet ;  for 
the  remotest  ages  of  antiqaitv  furnish 
unquestionable  evidence  of  the  ttae  of 
patronymics,  how  much  soever  ihey 
may  have  been  blended  or  confounded 
with  the  cognomen ;  although  it  may 
be  worthy  of  a  passing  remaik,  that 
theoretically,  the  family  name  being 
unalterable,  the  additional  one,  in  strict 
propriety  of  speech,  should  be  deno- 
minated the  surname.  Taking  Selah 
for  a  surname,  however,  in  its  usual 
acceptation,  we  find  Methu-Selah  se- 
veral hundred  years  before  the  flood : 
and  shortly  after  that  event,  we  per- 

ive  unequivocal  traces  of  surnames. 
MelchiZedek,  king  of  righteousness, 
is  evidently  a  name  compouiuled  of 
two  distinct  paru,  the  one  expressive 
of  earthly  dignity,  the  other  of  a  (»«cii- 
liar  mental  quality  by  which  the  indi- 
vidual was  distinguished.  Joseph  in 
Egypt  was  surnamed  Abrech,  ths 
king's  father ;  and  to  the  same  efSect 
we  find  Hiram  Abif,  Ben  Ammi,  arid 
many  others  of  common  occurrence  in 
the  sacred  writings. 

In  the  mythology  of  pagan  nations, 
according  to  Bryant  and  Faber,  the 
names  of  the  gods  and  heroes  were 
generally  compounded  of  two  or  mote 
radicals,  which,  like  the  origin  of  many 
of  our  modern  surnames,  expresaed 
the  nature,  character,  or  qualities  of 
the  personage  to  whom  they  were  ap- 
plied. Thus  Apollo  was  Ab-Baal-On, 
the  father  of  Baal,  the  sun  ;  Phoebus 
was  Pb'Ob.A%  the  fiery  serpent ; 
Pallas,  P'Al-As.  the  gwl  of  fire ;  Deti- 
cation  was  Du-Cal-Jonah,  the  god  of

tiatives  of  that  pecoliar  toil,  and  refused 
toBourish  if  transplanted  into  another. 
Thus  we  6nd  the  primitive  names  of 
Jones,  Davies,  Gryflith,  and  Powell, 
in  Wales ;  Macpherson,  Campbell, 
Douglas,  and  others,  in  Scotland ; 
0*Brien  in  Ireland  ;  Carruthers  and 
Burnside  in  the  north  of  England ; 
Poynder  and  Thwaite  in  I^ncashire ; 
Tryce  in  Worcestershire ;  Trc  and 
Pen  in  Cornwall;  Poyzer  in  Derby- 
shire, and  others  in  like  manner  through- 
out etery  province  in  the  kingdom. 

Some  surnames  have  been  tortured 
by  ignorance  or  wantonness,  nntil  they 
have  become  lost  and  completely  swal- 
lowed up  in  the  substituted  anomaly. 
Thns  within  the  last  century,  as  I 
have  discovered  by  consulting  paro- 
chial registers,  a  family  named  Huu- 
forth  has  been  changed  into  Alford  ; 
Keymish  into  Cammiss,  and  Vaustell 
into  Fussey.  Caprice  has  frequently 
affixed  a  bye-name  to  a  child,  which 
has  adhered  to  him  throughout  the 
whole  of  his  life,  and  in  the  end  has 
become  the  name  of  his  family.  Nay, 
in  the  exercise  of  my  professional 
duties,  I  have  not  only  met  with  num- 
bers of  people  ignorant  of  the  ortho- 
graphy of  tneir  own  name,  but  have 
in  one  instance  baptized  the  children 
of  two  brothers,  who  actually  spell 
their  family  name  so  variously  as  to 
give  it  the  appearance  of  a  different 
appellation.  To  similar  causes  may  be 
attributed  the  gradual  change  of  origi- 
nal names,  which  in  the  end  would 
produce  that  complicated  variety  which 
now  exists  in  the  world. 

In  the  classification  of  these  sur- 
names, it  has  already  been  observed, 
that  in  early  time«  the  principal  inha- 
bitants of    this  nation    assumed    the 
name  of  the  place  which  gave  them 
birth,  or  where  their  estates  were  situ- 
ated, which  ultimately  became  the  fa- 
mily name;  and   in  most  cases   this 
name  is  still  retained.     But  the  most 
numerous  class  consists  of  derivations 
from   natural  and    artificial    objects ; 
then  follow  those  compounded   from 
Christian  names,  the  chief  of  which 
terminate  in  son;  some  are  derived 
from  the  names  of  animals ;  and  some 
from  kingdoms  and  people,  countries 
and  towns ;  others  take  tneir  rise  from 
trades  or  colours ;  many  from  the  hu- 
man frame,  or  the  qualities  of  the  body 
or  mind ;  some  from  the  parts  of  a 
dwelling  house  and  its  appendages  ;  a 


few  from  the  weather,  appearances  in 
the  heavens,  the  seasons,  elements, 
and  cardinal  points  of  the  compass; 
and  a  few  others  from  good  or  evil  Tor- 
tune,  titles  of  honour,  ecclesiastical 
dignities,  et  hoc  genu*  omne. 

To  account  for,   and  accurately  to 
class,   the    whole  circle  of   surnames 
which  at  present  abound  in  the  world, 
would  probably  exceed  the  capacity  of 
the  most  talented  individual,  unless  hit 
whole  and   undivided  attention   were 
devoted  to  its  study  and  developement ; 
and  it  is  to  be  feared  that  the  effect 
might  appear  greatly  disproportionate 
to  the  means  employed.     In  this  re- 
spect the  theory  of  surnames  bears  an 
affinity   to   the   doctrine  of  fluxions; 
without  the  advantage  of  equal  utility; 
for,  as  a  knowledge  of  algebra,  geo- 
metry, logarithms,  and  infinite  series^ 
is  equally  and  indispensably  necessary 
to  a  right  understanding  of  fluxions ; 
so,  to  enter  fully  into  the  theory  of 
surnames,   an    intimate  acquaintance 
with  history  and  antiqnities,— dead  and 
living  langua^, — the  state  of  society 
and  manners  m  all  a^s  and  nations,— 
localities  and    peculiarities, — national 
and  family  connexions, — the  passions 
and  prejudices  of  human  nature,— the 
cant  words  and  technical  phrases  of 
every  description  of  men,<— is  absolutely 
essential;    else    the    anxious    theorist 
will  be  at  a  loss  to  comprebenxl  the 
origin  of  many  uncouth  names,  or  the 
relation  they  t>ear  to  each  other,  diver- 
sified as  they  are  by  a  succession  of 
shades  and  tints  which  are  almost  im- 
perceptible ;  and  he  will  find  it  diffi- 
cult to  determine  with  undeviating  ac* 
curacy,  whether  many  of  the  names  he 
investigates  be  primitive,  derivative,  or 
contingent ;  or  to  trace  them  through 
all  the  devious  and  uncertain  etymolo- 
gies in  which  they  are  imbedded  and 
entwined.  Gbo.  Olivbr.

Atknira]  Palmer  of  White-hall  io  this 
parish.  This  genileman  has  since  left 
ihf  neighbottrhood. 

The  Church  is  dedicated  to  St.  Mau- 
rice,  and  was  originally  founded  as  a 
Chaotry  chapel  by  John  Brackley,  esq, 
Jt  consuts  of  a  nave,  chancel,  and  two 
aislesy  with  a  neat  tower  at  the  west 
end.  The  interior  is  plain,  and  the 
Mslea  are  separaud  by  obtuse  arches, 
^he  walls  were  (brmerly  decorated 
yvith  scriptural  sentences,  adorned  with 
imgels,  &c. ;  but  about  three  years 
since,  when  the  Church  was  white- 
washed, ihty  were  defaced,  though 
ibe^  can  still  be  disiinci^  traced. 
This  practice  is  unfortunately  too  com- 
mon,  and  cannot  be  too  severely  rcpro* 
bated. 

The  pulpit  was  erected  in  167O,  and 
is  neatly  divided  into  small  pannels. 
The  font,  which  is  ancient,  is  sur- 
HMMiuted  by  a  modern  wooden  cover. 
In  ihe  south  aisle  is  an  ancient  seat, 
#0  which  4s  rudely  carved  the  Bgure  of 
a  Oman  bearing  a  oross:  near  uiis  on 
ibe  wail  ia  an  unassuming  ODOiMiinent,

On  the  floor  in  the  eastern  end  of 
the  same  aisle,  is  the  inscription  fol- 
lowing, in  black  letter :

On  each  side  the  entrance  of  the 

chancel  is  Mi.opening»  looking  into 

either  aisle,  through  which  the  people 


might  see  the  host  elevated.  Oo  the 
south  side  of  the  altar  is  an  old  tablet^ 
with  this  inscription :

in  May  1811,  aeed  69,  and  William 
Kite,  Gent,  her  ivusband,  who  died  in 
Oct.  1815,  aged  70.

On  the  opposite  side  is  another  of 
minor  donations,  and  a  neat  white 
marble  monument  to  the  memory  of

Saint  Clement,  as  he  was  a  PO|>ey  is 
depicted  in  the  Golden  Le^nd  with  a 
tiara ;  and  an  anchor  in  his  hand  be« 
cause  he  was  drowned  with  one  tied 
•about  his  neck.  In  the  present  in-

tao'-cross  with  which  St.  Anthony  is 
■eneraliy  drawn;  and  a  book  in  his 
wft :  the  symbol  of  the  anchor  is  placed 
.below  the  figure. 

St.  Loe  or  £loy  is  habited  in  episco- 
pal robes,  and  holds  up  the  two  fore- 
fingers of  his  right  hand  in  the  cus* 
•Ibmary   form    of   benediction.     This 
aaint  was  a  blacksmith  ;  he  has  a  ham-

presenting Saint  Loe,  Loy,  or  Louis, 
shoeing  .  the  detached  leg  of  a  horse, 
while  the   poor  animal  waits  at  the

our  Correspondent  D.  A.Y.  to  repre- 
aent  the  gateway  of  Framlingham  Cas- 
tle, and  the  initials  U^«  b*  may  mean 
William  Brekesion,  who  was  Ward-

relic,  which  was  found  beneath  the 
pavement  of  Minster  Church,  Thanet. 
Its  length,  including  the  moveable  ring, 
k  four  inches,  and  breadth  across  the 
legend  one  and  a  half;  its  thickness  is 
about  two-eighths  of  an  inch,  and  its 
^ight  three  and  a  half  ounces.  The 
back  is  flat  and  perfectly  plain.  The

inity,  and- which  are  matched  by  two 
in  the  under  plate  of  brass,t  were  in- 
tended, it  is  presumed,  to  secnre  the 
end  of  a  leathern  belt  or  girdle ;'  aiid 
the  ring  makes  it  probable  that  it  was 
that  end  which  was  attached  to  the 
sword.    Another  ornament  similar  to 
this  in  most  particulars,  except  the 
ring,  was  engraved  in  our  number  for 
October  1818,  p.  305.    It  has  the  same 
sacred    monogram  \bf  ;   but  appears 
of   more    modern  workmanship.     lo 
Stothard*s  *' Monumental  Effigies,'*  it 
will  he  seen  that  the  pendant  end  of 
the  girdle  of  a  figure  in  Willoughby 
Church,  Nottinghamshire,  terminates 
with   the  device  of  the   Virgin  and 
Child,  over  which  is   inscribed    ftlT. 
The  person  represented  is  in  a  civil 
habit;  but  that  it  was  also  usual  to 
place  the  same  holy  name  on  portions 
of  military  costume,  may  be  seen  in 
the  same  work  on  the  top  of  the  sword 
scabbard,  attached  to  the  effigy,  sup- 
posed to  be  that  of  Sir  Robert  Grus- 
nilt,  at  Hoveringham  in  Norfolk.

ISENDyou drawings  (fig$. 7 and 8) 
which  Ihave  received  from  Ireland, 
of  an  earthen  vessel,  discovered  within 
one  of  those  circular  entrenchmenta 
popularly  termed  **  Danish  Foru.**  It 
was  transmitted  to  me  in  a  letter  from 
Doone  Glebe  in  the  County  of  Lime- 
rick, with  the  following  particulars. 

"  A  few  years  since  a  Mr.  White, 
who  lives  somewhere  in  the  moun- 
tains in  this  neighbourhood,  caused  a 
Danish  fort  to  be  levelled,  and  at  about 
14  feet  from  the  surface  of  the  ground  a 
chamber  was  discovered.  In  it  were 
found  several  silver  coins,  respecting 
which  I  could  obtain  no  particulars; 
a  spur,  said  to  be  of  gold,  and  at  pie- 
sent  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  White ; 
and  several  jars,  one  of  which  only 
was  preserved  by  the  workmen.  Of 
this,  the  annexed  drawing  is  a  correct 
representation.  It  was  given  by  Mr. 
White  to  the  Rev.  Charles  Coote,  and 
is  composed  of  mottled  stone  ware,  of 
a  light  brown  colour.  It  height  is 
seven  inches,  and  the  greatest  circum- 
ference sixteen  inches.  The  jars  are 
stated  to  have  been  of  various  colours;

These  lines  are  perhaps  the  two  finest 
jn  his  works. 

XXXy  II.  The  beauty  of  German 
is  its  dictionary,  its  reproach  the  gram- 
mar; with  English  it  is  just  the  re- 
TCTie.  When  we  have  once  mastered 
the  German  grammar,  the  remainder 
fgenerallj  speaking)  is  all  delishtful; 
Iti  English  we  are  continually  having 
tnt  ears  shocked  by  individual  words. 
JFrmu  this  lesuijis^  however^  tlut  wbile 


a  German  sentence  cannot  be  written 
wbieh  will  not  eahibit  some  defect  of 
laDguaae,  we  may  by  a  careful  sefeetioQ 
of  words,  write  whliilc  hooks  rn  Eng^ 
liah  almost  abaolutely  perfect  ia-thia 
paspect.  The  most  beawtifol  langna^ 
on  the  face  of  the  earth  is  that  to 
which  Mrs.  HemoBs  writes  her  poeaa. 
Ptrhapa  the  very  striking  baavty  of 
our  grammar  ma^  be  principally  ow- 
ine to  the  deformity otour dictionary. 
Adjectives  taken  from  such  difierent 
sources  as  ours,  co«ild  not  well  be  se- 
duced to  any  one  form  of  declensioii, 
^-hence  their  total  freedom  from  voy 
such  shackles,  and  so  on  with  the 
other  parts  of  speech.  In  langtnages 
comparatively  pure,  such  as  the  Greek 
and  German,  tne  grammar  is  in  gene- 
ral horribly  absurd  and  difficult. 

XXXVIII.  One  of  the  commoneal 
foreign  words  with  which  our  writers 
are  accustomed  to  deform  their  English 
composition  Is  the  Italian  f\facimento^ 
or,  as  some  erroneously  write  It,  f{^br- 
ehmenio.  We  have  an  English  word 
which  will  amwer  quite  as  well,  re* 

fathionment. 

There  is  a  singular  instance  of  eare<« 
lessness  in  Sir  Walter  Scott*s  new  His- 
tory of  Scotland,  published  tn  Dr.* 
Lardner's  Cabinet  Cycbpaedia.  Sir 
Walter,  wishing  to  coin  a  new  word 
answering  to  the  Latin  refuiut,  intro- 
duces the  strange  aboriioti  kinglet. 
Sir  Walter  ought  to  know  that  this 
diminutive  can  only  be  applied  to  irv^ 
animate  objects  as  vroekUt  and  rtVer^ 
lei  (or,  as  it  is  more  commonly  writ^ 
ten,  rivulel).  The  proper  phrase  for 
what  he  wishes  to  express  is  singling. 

Our  grandames  used  to  say  ipoon- 
fulli;  but  the  present  generation  is,  i 
am  afraid,  in  danger  of  being  *'  fright- 
ed from  its  propriety,"  by  the  numer- 
ous tribe  of  wrongheaded  scribes  by 
whom  it  has  of  late  been  so  frequently 
asserted  that  the  proper  expression  is 
epoonsful.  What,  however,  can  be 
plainer  than  that  the  word  tpoonfull  is 
a  sulntantive,  meaning  a  sumcient 
quantity  to  fill  a  spoon,  and  that  in 
consequence  its  proper  plural  is  ipooii- 
fulis.  To  talk  about  a  Jew  spoonsfUl, 
a  great  many  spoonsful,  is  absurd ;  and 
what  would  be  more  ludicrous  thait 
when  taikiog  of  a  single  individual,  to 
aay  that  "unfortunately  he  .tumbled 
into  the  Thames,  and  before  he  cotild 
be  taken  out,  had  swallowed  a  great 
aiauy  nt&ntkrftdl  of  water/*

'  XLlI.  The  distinction  of  who  and 
ttfhich  is  a  great  blemish  on  our  lan- 
guage, as  it  introduces  all  the  absurd 
nonsense  of  genders  into  our  relative 
pronouns,  where  it  is  wholly  unne- 
cessary. The  dissertation  in  Murray's 
*'  Grammar*'  about  whether  it  is  the 
proper  mode  of  expression  to  say,  (he 
ooy  who,  or  the  hoy  which,  reminds  us 
or  the  worst  parts  of  German.  In  an 
oki  translation  ofDupin^s  *'  Historical 
Library,"  which  I  have  seen,  the  words 
mho  and  whom  are  each  carefully  re- 
jected, and  which  aKvays  substitnted, 
wherever  they  would,  according  to  cus- 
tom, occur.  Happy  would  it  have  been 
>^»  hv  a  general  conspiracy  of  authors, 
to  follow  the  example  there  set  them, 
these  hateful  monosyllables  bad  been 
banished  from  the  languase. 

XLHl.  Perhaps  vanity  has  been  one 
of  the  principal  causes  of  the  great  im- 
portation of  Latin  into  £nglisn,  just  as 
li  has  come  into  fashion  to  quote  books 
as  penes  me,  because  the  Latin  ex- 
pression leaves  it  in  doubt  whether 
the  writer  has  the  book  in  his  pos- 
scssioD,  or  can  merely  borrow  it  from 
a  friend,  or  see  it  in  some  library  to 
which  he  has  access.  So  the  conve- 
nient Latin  termination,  avium,  or,  as 
we  have  it,  ary,  seems  to  have  been 
introduced  into  the  language  to  spare 
vanity  and  pride  the  pain  of  a  too-close 
explanation,  which  our  rude  Saxon 
might  otherwise  extort.  A  man  may 
talk  to  OS  of  his  library,  who,  if  he  had 
only  our  ancient  language  to  resort  to, 
would  be  forced  to  give  us  a  more  defi- 
nite notion  of  his  resources,  by  specify- 
ing whether  he  were  in  possession  of^a 
book'hall,  a  Itook^room,  a  book-cioset,  or 
merely  sorne  bookTthelves.     A.  C.C. 


Mr.  Urban, 


British  Museum, 
Feb.  16. 

I  AM  induced  to  trouble  you  with  a 
few  lines  in  illustration  of  the  Seal 
of  Evesham  Abbey,  in  consequence  of 
my  having  lately  bad  occasion  to  ex- 
amine an  ancient  impression  of    it, 
preserved    in    the   British   Museum, 
which  has  hitherto  escaped  the  notice 
of  those  gentlemen  who  have  written 
on  .the  subject.    It  may,  perhaps,  be 
uoneoessary  to  remind  your  readers, 
that  this  Seal  has  been  engraven  at  least 
ybur  times;  viz.  in  Nash's  **  Hist,  of 
Woreestenhire  ;'*  in  TindaPs  "  Hist,  of 
Ere9hMmf**in  the  new  edition  of  *•  The 
Moaasiicoii ,**  aiid  in  the  xix.  vol.  of 


the  "  Archseologia.*'  With  regard  t9 
the  interpretations  offered  in  the  three 
first  of  these  publications,  I  may  be 
permitted  to  pass  them  in  silence,  ez« 
cept  with  an  irresistible  inclination  to 
smile  at  the  "  learned  ingenuity**  that 
could  convert  words,  so  plain  in  theiF 
meaning,  into  an  unintelligible  legend^ 
rendered  more  obscure  by  the  oom-> 
roenfary  intended  to  illustrate  it!  ■  It- 
was  rcsen'ed  for  tlie'in|(enuity  of  Mr.- 
Hamper  to  explain,  with  better  tne-^ 
cess,  this  "  crux  antiquariorum,*'  and 
it  only  excites  my  surprise,  that,  vrith 
perfect  impressions  of^the  Seal  before 
nim,  and  with  a  just  knowledge  -of 
the  mode  in  which  the  inscriptions 
ought  to  be  read,  he  should  yet  have 
failed  wholly  to  accomplish  this  iMiint. 
The  English  inscription  on  the  obverse 
of  the  Seal  is  thus  given  in  the  works 
above  quoted.  By  Nash,  *'  Wore/'  i« 
396:

ByTindal,  p.  142,  who  thinks  Dr.  N.*s 
account  so  clear  and  minute  as  to  re> 
^uire  no  further  research,  the  same 
interpreution  is  adopted,*  with  the 
addition  of  an  English  version !  By 
the  author  of  the  communication  to 
"  The  Monasticon,"  ii.  pi.  1,  p.  13,  as 
follows :

'*  The  Archaeolog.*'  xix.  p.  67,  in  tb^

"  Eoves  here  dwelt  and  was  e 
swain,  for  why  [i.  e.  the  cause  why"] 
men  call  this  Eoveshom."  The  im- 
pression of  this  Seal  in  the  Museum  is 
so  mutilated,  that  for  the  letters,  as  • 
8WON  .  I  must  be  content  to  take  Mr. 
H.'s  authority,  which  I  do  with  great 
readiness,  since  I  perfectly  agree  with 
him  in  the  reading  of  the  four  6rst

the  discussion  which  followed,  advert- 
ed 10  ihe  semimenls  of  the  celebrated 
anatomist  Dr.  William  Hunter,  whose 
opinion  it  was,  that  there  is  in  the 
stomach  of  all  living  creatures  a  fa- 
culty which  cannot  be  resolved  into  a 
gastric  juice,  nor  delincd  in  any  langil-U 
shape,  ll  invariably  acts  cither  on 
substances  destitute  of  the  vital  prin- 
ciple, or  in  which  il  has  become  ex- 
tinct. To  explain  this,  the  Doctor 
observed,  could  you  suppose  a  man's 
hand  introduced  into  the  stomach  of  ■ 
lion,  it  would  continue  uninjured,  ub>  1 
less  the  man  died;  from  which  iih>>  1

"  Live  with  me  anri  be  my  love," 
which  Walton,  in  ■'  The  Angler,"  at-

fpeaks  of  '*  divine  Mussbus,  and  a

Their  praise  has  heen  echoed  by  Dray, 
ton,  and  reiterated  by  innumerable 
aocceeding  writers,  down  to  the  un- 
fortunate Uermody,  who,  in  his  "  Pur- 
•ait  of  Patronage,*'  styles  him  *<  a 
kindred  spirit,  the  marvel  of  man- 
kind," and  praises  his  *'  unequalled 
tltains,"  in  language  of  the  most  glow- 
ing description. 

With  a  few  remarks  upon  the  se- 
veral plays  included  in  the  late  col- 
lection of  Marlowe's  works,  I  shall 
dow  terminate  this  paper. 

1.  Dido,  Queen  rf"  Carthi^e. 

This  very  rare  tragedy,  printed  in 
quarto,  1594,  was,  for  many  vears,  the 
^'  unreached  paradise*'  of  the  Shak- 
ipearian  commentators,  having,  as  Stee- 
?ens  expressed  it,  *'  escaped  the  hands 
of  the  moat  liberal  and  industrious 
collectors  of  such  curiosities."  Their 
anxiety  to  obtain  a  sight  of  the  hidden 
treasure,  originated  principally  in  a 
wish  to  ascertain  the  correctness  of  a 
suggestion  started  by  Capell,  that  it 
was  perhaps  the  "  excellent  play" 
which  Hamlet  describes,  and  from 
which  the  actor  recites  to  him  the 
passage  descriptive  of  Priam's  slaugh- 
ter; but  so  long  did  it  elude  their 
research,  that  many  began  to  suspect  it 
had  Bcver  |>assed  the  press,  and  that 
the^  were  in  pursuit  of  a  mere  non- 
entity. At  length  a  copy  was  dis- 
covered arooncst  the  books  of  Dr. 
Wright ;  but  Qipell's  conjecture  proved 
to  be  erroneous,  and  the  play  itself  was 
found  to  be  remarkable  for  little  save 
Its  rarity. 

Sometime  after  this,  the  choice 
morsel  was  brought  to  sale ;  and,  after 
being  hotly  contested  for  by  the  rival 
editors,  Steevens  and  Malone,  was 
borne  off  in  triumph  by  the  latter.  The 
circumstance  is  thus  noticed  in  "  The 
European  Magazine'^  for  June,  1787 : 

'<  At  the  sale  of  the  libnry  of  the  late 
Dr.  Wright,  the  Old  Pli^s  produced  above 
^Od,  The  great  bqyers  have  been — the 
Ki^g,  Lord  CharleBont,  Mr.  Malone,  Mr. 

^SoeoadButvf  Hero  and  Laaodtr," 


Steeveni,  Mr.  Kemble,  and  Mr»  Mason. 
Marlowe's  tragedy  of  "  Dido,  Queene  of 
Carthage,"  printed  in  1594,  was  sold  to 
Mr.  Malone  for  seventeen  enineas.  It  wae 
supposed  to  be  the  only  pemct  copy  eataac* 
Mr.  Immc  Reed's  copy,  however,  is  perfect 
alto.  He  gave  a  shilling  for  it  to  a  man  at 
Canterbury,  and  has  since  presented  it  to 
Mr.  Steevens,  who  bid  agsinit  Mr.  Malooe 
up  to  162.'* 

Reed's  gi/J,  by  the  bye,  amounted,  I 
believe,  to  no  more  than  this :  he  gare 
the  old  play  to  Steevens,  and  received, 
in  exchange,  a  set  of  Holinshed'a 
"  Chronicles,"  1587,  worth  about  20^ 
But  let  that  pass. 

The  rarity  of  «  Dido"  has  led  biblio. 
graphers  into  various  errors  regarding 
the  number  of  copies  in  existence  ^ 
among  others.  Dr.  Dibdin,  who,  in  his 
*•  Library  Companion/'  1824,  p.  789^ 
says :  "  There  were,  and  1  believe  arc, 
only  two  copies  of '  Dido'  known,  both 
of  which  came  into  MaIone*s  handa; 
one  at  Dr.  Wright's  sale,  for  sixteea 

Jpineas,  the  other  at  Mr.  Steevens's  sale, 
or  17/."  Yet  previously,  at  p.  700,  he 
remarks,  "  The  play  of  *  Dido,  Queen 
of  Cartha^,'  is  perhaps  the  rarest  of 
all  dramatical  or  poetical  pieces.  Ma- 
lone*s  copy  of  it  (now  at  Oxford)  is 
supposed  to  be  unique  J*  * 
The  truth  is,  that  Steevens's  copy  was 

Eurchased,  not  by  Malone,  but  oy  the 
>uke  of  Roxburgh,  at  the  dispersion 
of  whose  libraiT  it  formed  lot  5,400, 
and  was  sold  for  seventeen  guineas. 
It  is  equally  untrue  that  only  two  co- 
pies of  the  plajr  are  known  to  exist ; 
tor  a  third,  in  immaculate  condition, 
is  in  the  collection  of  the  Marquis  of 
Stafford.  And  here  let  me  be  pardoned 
for  contrasting  the  liberal  conduct  of 
this  nobleman  with  that  of  the  two 
other  possessors  of  the  rarity,  which 
was  guarded  by  them  with  jealous  vi- 
gilance, lest  a  reprint  might  exf>ose  its. 
charms  to  the  vulgar  ^ze,  and  thus 
deprive  it  of  the  attractions  which,  in 
their  eyes,  it  owed  solely  to  its  scarce- 
ness. Having  it  in  contemplation,  a 
few  years  since,  to  print  an  edition  of 
Marlowe's  works,  it  was  of  course 
necessary  to  procure  a  transcript  of 

*  Upon  the  subject  of  Marlowe's  pro- 
ductions, generally.  Dr.  D.  seems  to  be  mis- 
informed, or  to  write  with  extreme  care- 
lessness. At  p.  699  he  sayj,  *'  Marlowe  is 
known  rather  as  a  dramatist  than  a  professed 
poet;"  while,  in  the  very  next  page,  he 
astttts,  ibat  he  <*  is  chieny  known  by  hb

Churches,''  I  think,  thev  are  called  in

my  opinion,  before  1  had  it  confirmed 
-by  the  perusal  of  a  pssage  in  your 
Tol.  xcYiii.  part  ii.  p.  324.  But  this 
Is  not  the  point  I  have  in  view.  The 
ijuesttrn  which  a  true  antiauary  will 
ask  ii — Why  two  bells? — ana  for  what 
particular  purpose  was  eoch  used  ? 

A  corrypondent  of  yours,  Mr.  Ur- 
ban, and  one  who  has  enriched  your 
vol.  Lxxvi.  with  some  of  the  most 
curious  and  entertaining  information 
that  ever  met  my  eyes,  in  a  small 
compass,  has  told  us  *  that  the  smallest 
of  these  two  bells  was  the  "  saint's 
bell;**  but  he  does  not  gire  his  au- 
thority for  the  assertion.  It  is,  how- 
ever, dangerous  to  dispute  even  the 
dictum  of  a  gentleman  so  well  read  in 
our  ecclesiastical  antiquities  as  he  seems 
lo  be,  besides  being  an  antiquary  of 
the  right  kind;  and  my  doubts  are 
therefore  submitted  with  unfeigned  de- 
ference. When,  however,  I  find  such 
a  learned  man  as  Archdeacon  Nares 
confounding  together  the  "  8aint*s 
(*•  saincts,*'  or  *'  saunce")  bell  and 
the  sacring,  sakkering,  or  sacringe  bell 
(as  he  docs  in  his  valuable  Glossary), 
it  may  be  pardonable  to  imagine  that 
the  particular  uses  to  which  particular 
bells  were  appropriated,  in  Catholic 
times,  is  not  well  understood. 

But,  to  prove  the  saint's  bell  and 
the  sackering  bell  to  have  been  distinct, 
and  used  for  different  purposes,  I  refer 
to  Nicholls's  **  Leicestershire,"  vol.  iii. 

**  la  tht  chapel  of  St.  N'icholu,  huDdrsd 
of  Hast  Goscote  {w*  he)  the  CommiMioiien, 
in  1 669,  reported  ufbuDd,"m<fr  a/.:  **  Item, 
a  Sscrinee  Bell,  a  band  Bell,  a  Saunce 
Bell,  wjthe  other  tow  bjgger  Belles  in  the 
Stepell." 

Now,  it  can  hardly  be  doubted, 
tnethinks,  that  these  Cornmissioners, 
in  1652,  knew  qnire  as  much  about 
the  uses  of  their  bells  as  we  do  now  a- 
days;  and  my  inference  from  their 
report  is,  that  the  sacringe- bell  was  not 

♦  Nate  to  p.  525. 


the  tauiieo>bell,  aad  that  the  "  low 
byjpnr  Belles  in  the  Stepell*'  wcie 
Deither  the  one  nor  the  other. 

The  sacring0*bell,  as  appears  in  vol. 
xxi.  of  the  '*  ArchsBologia,'*  p.  S48, 
was  the  bell  used  in  processions  and 
other  solemn  occasions }  aiul  with  this 
the  account  of  Nares  corresponds.  It 
was  ofien  made  of  silver,  and  it  biiog 
in  the  roodloft.  (See  Wbitaker*s 
•*  Richmondshire,"  p.  896.)  lu  weif^ 
appears  to  have  been  about  eleven 
ounces.  {'*  Archseologia/*  vol.  ii.  pi. 
S48.) 

The  office  of  the  *<  saint's  bell  **  it 
well  described  by  your  Conrespondeoc 
before  alluded  to,  and  alto  hj  Narca^ 
whose  only  error  is  in  saying  **  it  was 
called  the  sacring  bell."  For  brevity's 
sake  I  omit  their  accounts.  The  only 
doubt  with  me  is,  as  to  the  place  where 
the  saint's  bell  hung,  or  m  which  it 
was  kept.  From  some  authorities  it 
seems  clear  that  it  hung  totpendM; 
from  others  that  it  was  rung  not  only 
at  the  elevation  of  the  host,  bet  waa 
"  the  (iriest's  proper  bell,  to  be  nmg 
at  all  times  wiien  he  wished  the  con- 
gregation to  be  attentive."  Now,  from 
tnis  I  infer  that  there  was  a  larger  and 
a  smaller  saint's  bell;  and  my  in- 
ference is  corroborated  by  a  passage  in 
Fuller's  ''Church  History,*'  coupled 
with  the  Commissioners'  report  froai 
Leicestershire,  as  before  transcribed. 

««  The  handbell  {mp  Falter)  was  not 
fixed  as  the  rest  in  tay  pisee  of  ehofch  ov 
steeple,  but,  being  dimmuHm  ^f  $amCi  Ml, 
was  carried  in  Uw  sexton's  hands  at  the 
oirevrogeetation  of  tha  sacrament,  the  vi- 
sitation of  the  sick,"  &e. 

I  question,  indeed,  whether  there 
was  not  a  larger  and  a  smaller  **  passing 
bell;**  for  in  Nichols's  "Leicester^ 
shire,"  vol.  i.  p.  339,  I  find  that,  in 
1471,  the  bellman  was  employed  *'  \o 
invite  by  proclamation  all  good  Chris- 
tians to  oner  a  prayer  for  the  soul  of  a 
defunct  brother.'*  And  again,  in  1545: 
"  Paid  to  the  bellman,  at  the  obit  of 
my  Lord  Huntingdon,  IS^.*'  (See  p. 
670.) 

But  now,  Mr.  Urban,  to  the  main 
point.  What  was  that  little,  curioua» 
tolitary  bell,  which  your  Magaxinet  ao 
often  show  us,  prettily  suspended  in  a 
little  open  angular  capped  gable  ■  mot 
at  the  west  end  of  the  church,  but 
toward  the  east,*  and  just  at  the  se- 
paration between  the  nave  and  chan-

dence, indicates  this. 

Well,  but  what  do  we  make  or  the 
"  low  bygger  Bellea  in  the  Stepdl?" 
Or  what  do  we  make  of  the  two  bells 
detcribtit  at  the  commencement  of  this 
letter?  Why,  certainly,  that  one  ot 
both  of  them  called  to  service  j  ami 
that  the  other  wai  the  funeral  or  pass- 
ing bell  whenever  we  find  them  hi  the 
wtil  end  of  our  churches.  When 
otherwise,  as  in  a  beaullful  inslince 
(almost  unique  of  its  kind)  which  you, 
Mr.  Urban,  have  given  us  in  your 
eightieth  volume,  p.  313,  I  readily  ad- 
mit that  the  smaller  bell  hat  been  the 
saint's  bell. 

There  are  several  other  thing*, 
connected  with  our  ancient  structures, 
which  sirike  the  eye  of  an  antiquary, 
hnt  for  which  every  one  cannot  ac- 
count. These  I  purpose  (to  endeavour 
at  least)  to  llluitrale,  should  you  do  me 
the  honour  to  allow  me  a  very  small 
niche  in  your  temple  of  tame.  If  any 
bcHik,  or  set,  or  serirs  of  volumes,  that 
I  know  of  could  furnish  the  informa- 
tion, I  would  not  offer  mjr  services; 
Diy  reason  for  doing  it  is  because  ] 
think  it  a  great  pity  that  many  persons 
of  real  antiquarian  laste,  but  who  have 
neither  access  to  a  good  public  library, 
or  suQicienI  leisure,  should  be  at  a  loss, 
ta  I  was  formerly,  to  make  out  many 
things,  which  people  who  write  upon 
antiquities  ought  to  communicate.  In 
the  meantime  I  shall  be  happy  to  be 
set  right  myself,  wherever  t  may  happen 


Mr,  UiinAw,       Morlfg.ntarLefdi. 

IN  the  entertaining  accouniof  Peter- 
church,  Herefordshire,  to  he  found 
in  your  Magazine  for  December,  my 
attention  has  been  particularly  attracted 
10  the  following  lUiiage  : 

"  Agaimt  the  wMtern  wall  of  th«  ei»b  U 
■ffiied  ■  •tune  Ublrt,  <rhereoa  ii  (ciilptund

iiHuid  tba  huk  pirtofhit  head;  it  bu  be*n 
reoencl;  punud  and  gilt,  ind  tlie  budo  of 
the  ohurcbiiitdaai  addtd." 

Then  follows  the  village  Irailition 
rwpecting  the  circumstance  which  gave 
rite  to  the  sculpture,  and  theconjccture 
uf  an  niiiiifuary  upon  the  subject.  To 
t4ve  lime  and  s|ucc,  I  fvibnr  all  com- 


menlB  upon  them,  and  offer  you  at 
once  my  own  conjectures. 

It  is  well  known  thai,  in  Catholic 
countries,  the  Mother  of  Christ  is  de- 
signated by  the  appellation  of  the  Fish 
Virgin— "  LaViergeauPoiiton;"  anil 
an  engraving  in  my  possession,  heaul»> 
fullv  coloured  and  gilded,  and  deiigned 

Erobably  for  a  prayer-book,  or  som» 
ook  of^Catholic  devotion,  hat  the  fol- 
lowing group:— The  Virgin  with  the 
Infant  Jesus,  and  Joseph,  all  radiated, 
and  the  Ust  holding  a  book,  probably 
intended  for  the  Old  Testament,  or 
book  of  the  Prophecies,  foretelling  the 
advent  of  the  Messiah  ;  but  lastly  is  « 
figure,  winged  and  radiated,  and  of 
feminine  appearance,  who  introduces 
to  the  Virgin  a  boy  bearing  a  fish, 
which  he  offers  to  her  with  bended 
knees.  This  fish  hat  the  appearance 
of  a  trout,  but  whether  designed  for 
one  or  not,  I  cannot  say.  Beneath  the 
whole,  however,  is  printed  — "  L» 
Vierge  au  Poisson." 

Having  inquiied  in  vain,  of  a  few 
Roman  Catholics,  why  iliey  call  Mary 
the  "  Fish  Virgin,"  perhaps  some  of 
your  readers  will  kindly  give  me  the 
requisite  information. 

That  the  Fish,  however,  in  Pctep. 
church  refers  (o  the  "  Fish  Virgin,"  1 
have  not  the  smallest  doubt  i  for  at  ip 
the  church  being  dedicated  lo  St.  Peter, 
it  will  be  of  no  great  weight  with  those 
who  know  how  many  churches,  de> 
dicatcd  in  ufterlimes  lo  one  saint,  were 
originally  dedicated  to  another.  Ofthi* 
we  have  an  instance  in  my  own  neigh- 
bourhood; but,  what  will  be  more  tm- 
tiafaclory,  by  referring  lo  your  own 
Magaiine,  vol.  xcvm,  part  ii,  p.  237, 
you  may  hod  the  point  settled  on  better

to  tome  parts,  of  very  ^real  antiquity, 
and  jusiines  the  suspicion  that  it  wm 
originally  dedicated  lo  the  Virgin. 

It  is  extremely  well  known,  ihM

God/'  with  the  highest  appellaiioDf» 
ascribe  to  her  ionumerable  miracles, 
and  hare  dedicated  to  her  more  churches 
and  chantry  chapels  than  to  Christ 
himself.  Your  volumes  show,  in  many 
parts,  the  idolatry  in  which  her  very 
name  was  held  {  and  those  who  will 
turn  to  that  of  xcviii.  prt  ii.  p.  SQl, 
perhaps  will  be  satisfied  that  no  more 
need  be  said  upon  the  subject. 

But,  besides  atl  this,  who  does  not 
know  how  common  are  allusions  to 
the  Virgin,  in  all  our  ancient  Catholic 
-structures,  sometimes  by  a  single  letter, 
jil*  and  sometimes  by  portraits  on 
wood,  stone,  and  glass?  Sometimes 
in  porches,  sometimes  in  the  nave  or 
chancels  of  our  churches?  In  short,  in 
%11  parts  and  forms. 

But  there  is  a  remark  of  your  cor- 
respondent which  ou^ht  to  be  noticed. 
Referring  to  the  opmion  of  another 
gentleman,  he  says: 

**  To  this  I  feel  indioed  to  dissent — first, 
because  the  stone  bears  no  mark  of  great 
antiquity,  and  «u  put  up,  probably,  long 
■inoe  tM  Roman  Catholic  religion  had  been 
dominant;  at  a  time  when  the  people  nerer 
thought  of  their  patron  saint,  as  such,  except 
when  keeping  his  revel  or  feast.  Secondly, 
because  it  is  unlikely  the  sculptor  would  have 
encircled  the  fish  with  a  chain,  when  the 
more  obvious  illustration  of  the  subject 
would  have  been  to  insert  a  piece  of  money 
in  the  mouth." 

This  second  objection  I  consider 
fatal  to  the  hypothesis  of  the  gentleman 
alluded  to ;  but  siiil  open  to  observa- 
tion, taking  a  position  on  Matt.  xvi. 
ver.  19:  however,  it  is  to  the  first  ob- 
jection that  I  would  address  myself. 

The  stone  in  question  being  in  the 
interior  of  a  church,  the  sculpture  may, 
perhaps,  be  more  ancient  than  your 
correspondent  supposes.  But,  suppos- 
ing it  comparatively  modern,  who  can 
doubt  that  it  has  been  sculptured  from 
an  original,  now  lost  or  destroyed  ?  At 
Dewsbury,  in  Yorkshire,  at  the  east 
end  of  that  church,  we  have  a  copy 
of  a  Saxon  wheel-cross,  known  to 
be  token  from  an  older  copy,  and  that 
copy,  probably,  from  the  original,  as 
Dr.  Whitaker,  on  the  most  rational 
ground,  believed.*  What,  then,  more 
likely  than  that  a  stone  should  be  care- 
fully preserved  at  Peterchurch,  which 
would  be  interesting  to  its  natives  on 
more  accounts,  peradventure,  than  one.

As  to  the  Tillage  triditioo,  it  is  per^ 
fectly  contemptible ;  and  as  to  the  taate 
of  painting  and  gilding  the  stone,  and 

futting  upon  it  churchwardens*  names, 
leave  it  to  antiquaries  to  pronounce 
judgment.  N.  S. 

TURKS  KINGS  OP  COLOOVB. 

Mr.  Urban,  AprU  10. 

AMONG  the  many  cheerful  ob^ 
servances  at  Christmas-tide,  none 
aflbrds  more  amusement,  if  properly 
attended  to,  than  that  of  Twelfth-night. 
Unfortunately,  the  march  of  intellect^ 
or  progress  of  civilization,  have  much 
reduced  the  splendour  of  this  comme* 
moration  of  the  Three  Kinos,  orEaftera 
magi;  and  commoners  barely  suffer 
those  sports  wherein,  formerly,  mo* 
narchsioined  with  glee.  The  legend  of 
these  Three  Kiii^s  of  Colqgne  is  rather 
curious,  as  there  is  nothina  in  the  New 
Testament  to  give  them  higher  rank 
than  magi,  wise  men,  or  philosophers. 
The  lOih  and  1 1th  verses  of  the  seventy* 
second  Psalm  are  supposed  to  have  re« 
ference  to  them : 

«  The  kings  of  Thanis,  and  of  tha  Islet, 
shall  give  presents :  the  kings  of  Arabia  and 
SaU  thall  brbg  sifts.  AU  kings  thaU  &XL 
down  before  him. 

The  venerable  Bede  is  the  first  [itnon 
that  is  known  to  have  given  any  par- 
ticular account  of  them,  though  his 
description  is  probably  founded  on 
some  older  and  by-gone  tradition.  He 
says:  Melchior  (the  king  of  Nubia 
and  Arabia)  was  old,  and  had  grey 
hair,  with  a  long  beard,  and  ofiered 
gold  to  Christ  ('*  a  rounde  apple  of 
gold  and  thirty  gilt  pens.*'— -Harl.  MS. 
1704.)  in  acknowledgment  of  his  so- 
vereignty. Caspar,  the  second  of  the 
Magi  (king  of  Tarse  and  Kgypt),  was 
youn^,  and  had  no  beard,  and  offered 
frankincense  to  our  Lord's  divinity. 
Other  accounts  say,  that  he  was  a  black 
Ethiop,  and  offered  myrrh.  Balthazar, 
the  third  (king  of  Godolie  and  Saba), 
was  of  dark  complexion,  and  had  a 
large  beard ;  he  offered  myrrh  to  our 
Saviour's  humanity.  He  then  proceeds 
to  describe  their  dresses}  and,  whatever 
his  authority  may  have  been,  they  are 
constantly  depicted  according  to  his 
account,  in  old  pictures  and  popular 
representations.  The  star,  that  guided 
them  on  their  journey,  is  said  to  have 
been  as  an  eagle,  flying  and  beating  the 
air  with  his  wings,  and  had  in  it  the

There  is  a  curious  tradition  respecting 
Ihe  thirty  pence  offered  by  Melchior. 
They  were  said  lu  have  been  made  by 
Tcrah,  the  father  of  Abraham,  and 
paid  by  the  laiicr  for  his  place  of  le- 
pulrure ;  then  paid  by  the  Iimaelilet 
for  Joseph ;  afterwards  paid  to  him  fot 
corn,  by  his  brcibrrn,  during  the 
gcarciiyj  and  by  him  paid  lo  the  royal 
Ireasuiy  of  Sheha,  for  spices  lo  embaloi 
his  father  Jacob,  on  his  decease.  Hy 
the  Queen  ofShcba  they  were  given  to 
Solomon,  wilh  many  other  presenti. 
On  the  spoiling  of  the  Tcniiile,  in  iha 
time  of  Reboboatn,  they  fell  into  the 
hands  of  the  King  of  Arabia,  and  re- 
mained in  the  treasury  of  that  couiilrv 
until  ihe  time  of  Melchior,  who  offered 
them  to  our  Saviour.  On  the  Bight

flicted  by  a  disctte  incnrable  bjr  boman 
means,  wai  eortd  by  oar  Saviour,  and 
made  an  oblation  of  thete  thirty  pieces 
of  money  at  the  altar,  whence  they 
were  taken  asd  given  to  Jodas  in  re* 
ward  for  hb  treacherjr  in  betraying 
Christ.  On  his  returning  them,  and 
hanging  himself,  half  of  them  were 
applied  towards  the  purchase  of  the 
potters'  field,  and  the  remaining  half 
were  given  as  bribes  to  the  soldiers 
who  guarded  the  sepulchre  { after  which 
all  trace  of  them  is  losL  They  were 
made  of  the  purest  gold;  the  term 
silver,  where  it  occurs  in  reference  to 
the  history  of  these  pieces  of  money, 
being  considered  by  the  l^nd-mongers 
at  a  mere  generic  term  for  money.  It 
isy  however,  unnecessarr  at  present  to 
seek  to  reconcile  any  discreoancies  in 
traditions  of  this  nature.  Aoam  Davie, 
about  1312,  in  his  "  Scripture  His- 
tories,'* refers  to  the  sale  of  Joseph  for 
thirty  pence :

On  one  side  of  these  coins  was  a 
king's  head,  crowned ;  and  on  the  other 
side  Chaldee  letters,  but  unintelligible; 
the  value  of  each  piece  being  about 
three  florins.

ALLOW  me,  through  the  medium 
of  your  pages,  to  mention  that  I 
am  preparing  for  publication  a  work, 
to  be  entitled,  "The  Topographical 
History  of  the  Wapentakes  of  How- 
denshire,  Ouse,  and  Derwent,  and 
Holme-Beacon,  in  the  East  Riding  of 
the  county  of  York."  This  work, 
which  has  occupied  roe  from  early 
youth  to  the  present  time,  will  com- 
prise the  History  of  Howden,  as  a  cen- 
tralpoint,  at  which  town  the  Bishops 
of  Durham  had  anciently  one  of  their 
palaces,  in  which  many  of  them  fre- 

auently  resided,  and  where  some  of 
lem  oied.  The  Church,  which  was 
collegiate,  is  a  large  structure,  but  the 
chancel  is  now  unfortunately  in  ruins. 
The  latter,  the  eastern  portion  of 
which  is  still  standing,  with  the  oc- 
taaonal  chapter-house,  afibrds  ample 
evidence  of  the  skill  and  taste  of  the 


architect,  and  is  one  of  the  ehaatett 
specimens  of  the  ornamented  Oothie, 
at  the  close  of  the  fourteenth  eentury^ 
which  England  now  afibrdi.  The 
tower  is  remarkable  for  the  beauty  and 
symmetry  of  its  proportiona,  and  m  ae- 
nerally  said  to  have  been  ercctod  by 
Bishop  Skirlaw,  who  haa  left  tome 
fine  specimens  of  his  architaomral 
skill  and  taste  in  other  plaeea,  partis 
colarly  in  the  chapel  of  Skirlaogh  in 
HolderneM,  where  he  was  bom,  and 
from  which  village  he  assamed  hit 
local  surname,  llie  Bishops  of  Dur-f 
ham  acquired  this  town  and  manor 
from  the  Conqueror,  and  afterwai^ 
obtained  for  it  from  the  Crown  at  va^ 
rioos  periods  many  important  privilecetf 
and  franchises.  The  acoount  of  tne 
rivers  Homber,  Ouw,  and  Derwent,' 
will  afford  many  interesting  materiab^ 
particulariv  in  the  early  penodi  of  oii# 
history,  when  the  Norwegians  used  to 
sail  in  numerous  fleets,  and  land  their 
marauding  forces  in  the  adjacent 
neighbourhood.  The  gjenealogical  hit* 
tory  of  this  district  will  comprise  ■« 
account  of  many  ancient  familiea;  m 
the  Saltmarshes  of  Saltmanh,  and 
Methams  of  Metham ;  the  Monoktoot

half  my  life  has  been  spent,  that  cir-

Review.— ifiilifiiUiai  -of  A(ht*tl 


[April, 


Belvidere  Apollo  has  in  it  nothing  hu- 
ihau ;  and  in  beauty  or  conformation, 
the  finest  flower  does  not  exceed  the 
Choragic  Monument  of  Lysicrates. 
Even  the  hands  and  fingers  of  tlie 
aiTtist  seem  to  have  been  endowed  with 
the  facultv  of  thinking,  and  the  very 
toach  of  the  marble,  to  have  resembled 
the  divine  attribute  of  creation;  to 
have  generated  life  out  of  nothing.  We 
thall,  however,  proceed  no  further 
with  these  eulogiums ;  for  we  have  a 
long  catalogue  to  give  and  discuss  of 
the  subjects  before  us. 

The  vignette  of  the  title-paee  repre- 
sents an  altar  at  Ephesus.  The  de- 
sign is  fantastic,  and  yet  is  singularly 
elegant.  The  two  arms  of  a  female 
figure  are  bent  into  the  form  of  cornu- 
copias, and  an  ox's  head  forms  the 
centre  of  a  festoon  of  flowers ;  never- 
theless, there  is  nothing  absurd  or  gro- 
tesque in  the  grouping. 

The  6  rst  article  is  the  Temple  ofJu- 
piler  Olympius  at  Agrigenlum,  com^ 
monlu  called  the  Temple  of  Ihe  Giant^ 
bv  C.  R.  Cockerel!,  architect,  8rc.-* 
From  this  magnificent  edifice  we  find, 
that  when  the  quarries  on  the  spot  did 
notfumish  stone  of  sufficient  scantling 
or  strength  for  disengaged  columns 
with  episi^Iia  of  the  prodigious  dimen- 
sionir  required,  they  inclosed  the'inter- 
columnia.  (p.  3.)  The  great  curiosity 
of  the  remains  consists  in  the  figures 
of  titans  or  giants,  25  feet  high,  backed 
affainst  pilasters,  what  the  Greeks  call- 
ed Ailantes,  the  Latins  TelamonSf  and 
we  (absurdly,  because  the  term  applies 
only  to  female  figures,)  Cariatides. 
From  the  occurrence  of  similar  figures 
facing  pilasters  in  Egypt  (the  Mem- 
nonium,  &c.)  and  the  eyes  of  these 
figures  having  the  Egyptian  character, 
we  consider  these  remains  as  a  primi- 
tive specimen  of  the  art  of  architec- 
ture, when  first  borrowed  from  the 
Egyptians,  and  improved  upon. 

Our  authors  observe,  concerning 
this  temple, 

'*Two  methods  of  building  temples  were 
pnetised  by  the  Greeks ;  the  one  allowed  of 
making  the  uaos  the  whole  width  of  the 
temple,  and  the  other  surrounding  it  with 
columns ;  either  method  is  adopted  in  this 
baildiog,  for  the  columns  are  inserted  in  the 
walls  off  the  naoe,  appearing  circular  with- 
out* and  square  witaiai  their  periphery 
without  is  30  feet»  and  the  flutings  are  large 
•oough  to  receive  the  tiody  of  a  man ;  with- 
in" Ji  it  l«  feet."— p.  2. 

T/w  most  instructive  details  and  il- 
/lutrdtidas  accompany  the  plates. 


'  The  next  article  relatef  to  Aniioui' 
ties  at  Athens  and  Delos,  by  William 
Kinnard,  architect. 

The  Propyfaa  at  Athens  form  the 
first  object.  It  appears  that  the  desiga 
was  not  in  coriect  taste,  "  partico- 
larly  as  regards  the  juxta-posuion  of 
coU^mns  of  different  orders  and  alti- 
tude."   Nevertheless* 

*<  it  is  very  evident,  that  at  the  entrance 
to  the  sacred  peribolus  of  the  Acropolis,  the 
ancient  pictorial  efiFect  of  this  £sbric,  from 
its  perspective  combination,  as  a  f<Nregroond 
with  the  first  distinct  view  of  the  surpassing 
Parthenon,  must  have  excited  equal  admi- 
ration with  the  daring  magnificence  of  ita 
construction," — p.  5. 

In  p.  7,  we  have  a  valoaUe  disqar- 
sition  upon  Grecian  ornament.  Oar 
authors  think  that  these  decorations 
had  no  symbolic  meaning  whatever, 
but  were  orisinally  borrowed  from  the 
East,  and  referred  to  one  common  pro- 
totype, connected  with  oriental  idola- 
try, (p.  12.)  The  solid  marble  vases 
wiiich  accompany  Greek  tombs,  are 
supposed  by  our  authors  to  have  been 
*<ased  as  stela  or  grave-stones,  and 
that  no  inference  can  be  drawn  from 
some  of  them  being  an  inscribed,  be- 
cause they  might  have  been  erected  on 
inscribed  pedestals  orcolumns.*'  ^£*'^) 
Among  tnese  monuments  is  a  Punic 
inscription.  The  letters  very  much 
resemble  our  Arabic  numerals. 

Passing  by  a  fine  view  and  plan  of 
the  Pnyx  at  Athens,  and  sondiy  frag- 
ments, we  disiinsuish  PI.  iv.  fis.  1, 
because  it  gives  the  apparent  real  ori- 
gin of  the  arch,  via.  long  curved  stones, 
placed  on  strong  abutments,  and  meet- 
ing at  top,  so  that  the  resistance  of  the 
abutments  prevented  their  falling  in.

by  Thomas  Leverton  Donaldson,  ar-

We  are  told  in  p.  4,  that  the  cele- 
brated Apollo  Belvidere  is  probably  a 
copy  of  the  Apollo  Alexicacos  of  Ca- 
lamis.  The  position  of  this  temple 
differs  from  that  of  most  others,  as  it 
lies  north  and  south  (p.  9) ;  and  it  has 
a  lateral  door,  and  an  arrangement  of 
the  engaged  columns  of  the  cella  not 
to  be  found  elsewhere. — p.  10.

believes  the  Union  will  go^  but  in 
such  a  manner  as  the  nation,  he  feors,

tapacify  qf  Mariborough,  great  doubts 
It  seems  were  cntcnained  (p.  27 \),  so 
true  is  it,  that  men  judge  of  the  ta- 
lents of  others,  in  many  points,  by 
their  own  views  of  things. 

On  that  interesting  subject,  the  man- 
ners and  customs  of  the  times,  the 
book  abounds  with  curious  matters. 
The  smoke  of  I^ndon  was  horribly  ab- 
horred, especially  in  the  winter  sehson, 
when  it  most  prevailed.  Locke  thought 
that  sleep  was  to  be  procured  best,  by 
riding  nt  a  slow  pace  for  many  hours 
in  the  day.  People  were  afraid  to  cor- 
respond, their  letters  were  so  frequently 
opened. 

The  English  who  resided  abroad, 
were  deemed  the  worst  in  the  place  (p. 
103),  and  their  soldiers  were  univer- 
•aUy  stigmatised  as  drunkards  (p.  221). 
Hunting  was  used  as  a  pretext* for  col- 
lecting the  leading  members  of  a  poli- 
tical party  to  arrange  their  plans  (p. 
221) ;  and  a;  to  authorship,  Mr.  Locke 
obterves,  that  it 

**  was  as  tolerable  for  a  Coloaell  to  appear 
in  the  field  with  but  three  or  fbwer  foldiers 
after  him,  as  for  a  mao  of  reading  aod  leader 
of  a  party  to  appear  in  print  without  a  whole 
regiment  of  quotations,  whether  to  purpose 
or  noe  it  matters  not." — p.  18. 

In  all  works  of  this  kind  we  are 
sure  of  finding  contemporary  and  ge- 
nuine information.  Of  course  they 
have  a  fixed  value ;  because  there  is  no 
means  of  forming  accurate  opinions 
and  conclusions,  but  from  contempo- 
rary information.  Such  information 
has  the  character  of  portrait,  even 
though  it  may  be  in  the  caricature  of 
parly  or  enmity;  and  even  then  it  lets 
us  into  a  part  of  the  history  of  the 
age.  Taking  this  view  of  the  subject, 
and  regarding  the  materials  of  the 
work  before  us  (and  can  any  thing  be 
thought  otherwise,  which  is  the  pro- 
duction of  such  master-minds  as  those 
of  Locke,  Sidnev,  and  Shaftesbury?) 
we  deem  the  book  a  valuable  accession 
to  the  historical  library,  generally  in- 
uroctive,  and  often  curious.

W£  have  classed  these  works  toge« 
ther,  though  of  a  distinct  kind,  be- 
cause they  are  both  of  them  written 
in  a  bad  taste,  to  which  we  wish  to 
oppose  a  check.  First,  with  regaiti  to 
the  **  Sermons." 

We  assume  that  religion  ought  not 
to  be  made,  as  is  the  fashion  of  the 
present  day,  a  mass  of  unintelligible 
mysticism  ;  that  people  cannot  be  niyt- 
tihed  into  improvement;  and  that  per- 
plexity is  not  edification.  We  cling  to 
the  limes  of  our  youth,  when  the  rule 
was  to  doctrinate,  like  Paley  and  Gis- 
borne,  to  preach  down  vice,  and  ex- 
pose it  to  general  indiznatioo.  In  our 
judgment,  this  was  a  far  more  e£Bcient 
method  of  promoting  Christianity  than 
degradation  of  its  moral  code  to  a  mere 
subserviency,  utterly  inconsistent  with 
the  pure  profession  of  it;  and  if  not 
actually  disjoining  faith  and  works, 
yet  niaking  them  only  husband  and 
wife  in  a  state  of  divorce  and  separa- 
tion. We  do  not  deny  the  good  in- 
tention of  Mr.  Pope,  and  willingly 
concede  to  him  respect  as  an  author; 
but  we  see  nothing  tangible  in  his  ar- 
gument; and  of  course  there  can  be 
no  sympathy ;  and  if  no  sympathy,  no 
impression. 

The  Pilgrim  to  the  Hebrides,  con- 
tains very  masterly  lines,  and  much 
poetical  |)Ower,  but  it  is  spoiled  by 
versifying  Ecclesiastical  Histortf.  In- 
stead of  the  beauties  of  imagination, 
we  have  common-place  about  the  sera 
when  the  gospel  was  preached.  Now 
whoever  versified  a  sermon  without 
spoiling  it?  Piety  may  unquestion- 
ably be  excited  by  the  sublime  and 
beautiful  of  imagination,  e.  g.  by  many 
of  the  fine  figures  of  the  Hebiew  pro- 
phets; but  there  is  no  kind  of  poetry 
more  difficult  or  more  prone  to  error 
and  lameness,  than  the  religious.  If 
it  be  erotic,  it  is  impure;  if  it  be 
gloomy,  it  is  only  epitaph  of  the 
church-yard  character.  If  it  afleett 
the  sublime,  it  fails,  because  below 
preconceived  ideas  in  ther^der;  and 
if  it  be  neither  holy,  interesting,  or 
lofty,  what  else  can  it  be  but  insipid? 
and  poetry  must  be  wine,  not  water. 
What  is  the  cause  of  this  bad  taste?. 
Why,  that  the  fanatics  of  the  day  have 
dogmatised  that  all  books  whatever 
should  be  written  with  devotional  fetl- 
ings;  in  other  words,  be  interlarded 
with  cant,  however  inconsistent  and 
desecrating  it  may  be,  through  the  ia-

lation  was  suppressed  b^  fear ;  and  the 
Thane,  deeming  their  silence  to  be  an 
attempt  to  cajole  him,  consigns  them 
to  the  diftciphne  of  the  dungeon.  After 
much  characteristic  colloquy,  a  witness 
of  drunken  notoriety  is  ushered  in,  as 
being  able  to  give  some  account  of  the 
mysterious  migration  of  the  wood  and 
stone.  His  version  of  the  story  is 
worthy  of"  Barnulf  with  the  nose, '  by 
which  appellation  he  is  distinguished. 

<«  <  What ! — the  foul  fiend  helped  thee  to 
thy  liqaor,  I  trow  ?'  said  Gamel,  hastily. — 
*  Think  not  to  foist  thy  fooleries  upon  me. 
Should  I  find  thee  with  a  lie  on  thy  tongue, 
the  bide  were  m  well  off  thy  shoulders.  To 
thy  speech— quiok,  what  saweat  thou  ?' 

«  *  I  will  give  it  ail,  withouten  a  word 
bat  what  the  blessed  saints  would  avouch,' 
said  the  terrified  supplicant,  whose  once 
fiery  face  was  now  blanched,  or  rather  dyed 
of  a  dull  and  various  blue. 

**  *  I  was  wending  home  from  Merland, 
where  I  had  been  helping  Dan  the  smith  to 
his  luckpenny,  when,  as  I  took  the  path- 
road  down  yonder  unlucky  hill  to  the  ford^ 
not  thinking  of  the  de'll's  workmen  that  had 
flown  off  with  the  church  the  night  before, 
I  was  whistling,  or,  it  mayhap,  singing,— 
or— or         I  am  not  juit  particular  to  know 
bow  it  was,  for  the  nutter  of  it;  but,  at 
any  rate,  I  was  getting  up,  having  tumbled 
down  the  steep  almost  nigh  to  the  bottom, 
and  I  tliought  my  eyes  had  atrurken  fire, 
for  I  law  lighti  frisking  and  frolicking  up 
and  down  the  hill.     Then  I  sat  down  to 
watch,  and,  sure  enough,  such  a  puck-fisted 
labble,  without  cloak  or  huseu,  1  never  be- 
held—all hurry-scurry  up  the  hill,  aud  some 
of  the  like  were  on  the  gallop  down  again. 
They  were  shouting,  and  mocking,  and  laugh- 
ing, like  so  many  stark-noad  fools  at  a  May- 
feast.     They  strid  twenty  paces  at  a  jump, 
with  burdens  that  two  of  the  liest  oxen  about 
the  manor  had  not  shifted  the  length  of  my 
thumb-nail.     "Tis  some  unlucky  dream,  said 
I,  rubbing  the  comers  of  my  eyes,  and  try- 
ing to  pinch  myself  awake.     Just  then  I 
saw  a  crowd  of  the  busiest  of  *em  running 
up  firom  the  river,  and  making  directly  to- 
wards the  steep  bank,  below  where  I  sat. 
They  were  hurrying  a  great  log  of  timber, 
which  they  threw  down,  close  beside  me,  as 
if  to  rest  ere  they  mounted.     *  My  friends,' 
—•what  should  ail  me  to  talk  to  'em  I  cannot 
tell, — *  My  friends,  but  ye  seem  to  have 
more  work  in  your  hands  than  wit  in  your 
noddles— ye  might  have  spared  yourselves 
the  labour,  I  trow.'     With  that  the  whole 
lout  turned  upon  me  with  a  shout  and  a 
ehattering  that  would  have  dumb-founded 
the  shrillest  tongue  In  the  whole  hundred — 
the  mill-wheel  was  nothing  to  it.    I  would 
bava  eteaped,  but  my  feet  were  holden,  like 
W  4iey  bad  been  i'the  stocks.    One,  the 
AniB09t  of  the  crew,— I  do  think  lie  had  a 


looe  tail  and  gaping  hoofs,  but  I  was  over 
frightened  to  see  very  clear, — came  with  a 
mocking,  malicious  grin,  his  tongue  lolling 
out,  and  his  eyes  glaring  and  fiend-like. 

*<  '  Pray,  good  friend,'  said  ha,  pulling 
off  a  little  black  bonnet,  *  be  compassionate 
enough  to  help  us  with  our  load  to  the  hill- 
top.' Now  was  I  terrified  beyond  measure, 
insomuch  that  I  made  a  despeiate  tm^, 
whereby  looSenine  myself,  I  ran  like  the 
wind,  the  wicked  fiends  folloa^ng,  and  roar- 
ing after  me  with  loud  and  bitter  corses.  I 
jumped  into  the  river,  in  my  hurry  havii^ 
missed  the  ford,  and  I  heard  'em  still  shouts 
jng,  and,  as  I  thought,  pursuing  nse }  but 
the  Virgin  and  St.  Chadde  were  my  helpera, 
for,  when  Biddv  opened  the  door  in  the 
morning,  I  lay  there  in  a  great  swoon,  with 
my  head  bruised,  and  a  Dole  in  my  good 
grey  cloak'." — pp.  36,  87. 

^he  evidence  of  him  **  with  the

firmed by  a  stranger. 

'*  He  was  meaalv  clad  : — a  coarse  doak, 
stained  and  threadbare,  was  thrown  open, 
showing  a  close  babit  of  the  most  ordinary 
£ibrici  vet  a  natural  and  graceful  bearing 
imparted  a  dignity  even  to  his  poor  and 
worthless  Iwbiliments. 

<*  I  am  a  stranger,  aad  sore  oppressed 
with  loug  travel.     Penuij  and  misfortune 
have  been  my  lot,  and  I  am  driven  from 
place  to  place  without  a  home  or  a  morsel 
of  bread.  Last  night,  long  afler  the  curfew, 
I  came  hither,  but  no  hotpUium  or  religious 
house  being  near,  I  sat  down  by  the  bill-side 
yonder,  until  morning  should  enable  me  to 
crave  help  for  my  hopeless  Journey.    The 
morning  had  not  dawned  ere  I  awoke— a 
loud  trampling,  and  the  rush  of  many  voices, 
bad  broken  in  upon  my  slumbers.     1  beheld 
crowds  of  strange-looking  men,  laden  with 
terrific  burdens.   They  seemed  to  be  eaeerly 
and  earnestly  at  work,  under  heavier  loads 
than  I  thought  mortal  man  could  sustain  \ 
the  whole  sjrace,  too,  as  far  as  the  eye  might 
carry,  seemed  alive  with  them,  the  flickering 
of  their  torches  forming  a  scene  of  almost 
unimaginable  splendour.     Right  befbie  me

Revibw.*— JBt6ZtograpAicaZ  Miscellany, 


[April, 


iDg  the  architectare,  Mr.  Britton  has 

given  sach  seclioDi,  elevatioDs»  and 
etaib,  as  were  calculated  to  display 
the  true  forms  of  the  arches,  &c.  and 
thus  afford  the  architectural  antiquary 
the  means  whereby  he  might  make 
comparisons  and  deduce  inferences. 
When  Mr.B.  commenced  his  Cathedral 
Aottquities,  he  was  of  opinion  that 
perspective  and  picturesque  views  of 
these  noble  edifices  would  be  most  sa- 
tisfactory ;  but  he  afterwards  found 
that  they  afforded  no  practical  infor- 
mation to  the  architect,  or  to  the  fasti- 
dious antiquary.  Henceforward,  there- 
fore, it  is  his  intention  to  give  correct 
geometrical  elevations,  sections,  and 
details;  introducing  perspective  views 
principally  to  show  the  effects  of  the 
whole  building. 

The  fate  of  the  Cathedral  of  Oxford 
has  been  unfortunate,  having  suffered 
various  innovations  and  curtailments 
at  different  periods,  particularly  by  Car- 
dinal Wolsey,  who  reduced  the  length 
above  50  feet,  with  half  of  the  cloisters, 
to  make  wav  for  his  intended  college. 
Yet  the  arcnitecture  of  the  respective 
ages,  and  the  magnificence  of  the 
pristine  state  of  the  Church,  is  not  so 
much  obscured  as  to  fail  of  producing 
that  grandeur  of  effect  so  striking  in 
our  early  ecclesiastical  buildings.  Un- 
fortunately, the  exterior  of  Christchurch 
is  rough  and  uninviting  ;  and,  sur- 
rounded as  it  is  with  other  objects  of 
attention,  the  Cathedral  fails  of  draw- 
ing that  share  of  attention  it  is  well 
calculated  to  gratify. 

Mr.  Britton  has  well  condensed  the 
accounts,  by  Wood  and  other  anti- 
quaries, of  the  priory  of  St.  Frideswide, 
.Wolsev's  College,  the  History  of  the 
Cathedral,  and  its  successive  alterations. 
Mr.  Britton  then  describes  its  present 
state,  its  form,  arrangement,  and  con- 
struction ;  points  out  its  beauties  and 
defects  ;  remarks  on  the  style  of  archi- 
tecture of  its  various  portions ;  and 
minutely  explains  the  various  objects 
detailed  in  the  Plates. 

The  next  splendid  volume  we  have 
to  notice  by  Mr.  Britton,  is  his  History 
of  Peterborough  Cathedral.  This, 
like  that  of  Oxford  last  spoken  of,  is 
of  modern  date  attached  to  a  Bishop's 
See,  but  of  remote  origin  as  a  conven- 
tual foundation. 

This  Cathedral  is  illustrated  by  five 
exterior  and  three  interior  perspective 
views,  and  ten  plates  of  plan,  sections, 
pon'wDB,  &C. 


The  letter-press  description  is  more 
elaborate  and  satisfactory  than  that  of 
Oxford,  great  pains  having  evidently 
been  bestowed  on  it.  Its  contiguity 
to  Ely  seems  to  have  inspired  Mr. 
Britton  with  the  desire  of  treading  in 
the  steps  of  the  two  historians  of  the 
latter  Cathedral,  the  Rev.  James  Bent* 
ham,  and  the  Hev.  George  Millera. 

Gunton*s  History  ibrroed  an  excel- 
lent ground-work,  and  fortunately  Mr. 
Britton  received  at  Peterborough  every 
assistance  in  his  inquiries,  from  the 
Bishop  to  the  vergers.  This  the  au- 
thor gratefully  acknowledees,  and  it  is 
the  more  pleasing,  as  we  believe  there 
have  been  examples  to  the  contrary  in 
other  places. 

The  prevalent  style  at  Peterborough 
is  Norman,  and,  more  fortunate  than 
Oxford,  all  the  principal  parts  of  this 
Cathedral  still  remain  entire.  The 
nave  is  very  lon^  the  choir  short,  and 
the  chancel  (as  in  most  foreign  Cathe- 
drals) of  a  semicircular  form.  But  the 
principal  peculiar  feature  of  this  Ca- 
thedral is  the  magnificent  and  original 
West  front  (see  a  view  of  it  by  Mr. 
J.  Carter,  in  our  vol.  Lxxxiv.  pL  ii). 

This  front  is  composed  or  three 
magnificent  pointed  arches,  surmoimtr 
ed  by  pediments,  flanked  with  two 
towers  more  elevated  than  the  pedi- 
ments, and  terminating  in  handsome 
stone  spires  of  subsequent  date.  The 
centre  arch  is  less  spacious  than  the 
others,  and  more  acutely  pointed. 

This  front  is  a  theme  of  comment 
and  praise  with  all  men  of  science  and 
taste.  Mr.  Britton  has  been  favoured 
with  a  minute  description  of  this  mag- 
nificeni  feature  of  the  Cathedral,  fa^ 
the  Rev.  T.  Garbett,  minor  canon  of 
Peterborough  ;  and  the  whole  design 
and  forms  of  this  interesting  facade  are 
detailed  in  nine  plates. 

Mr.  Britton  is  proceeding  most  suc- 
cessfully in  his  Histories  of  our  Cathe- 
drals. In  subsequent  numbers  we  shall 
notice  those  of  Gloucester  and  Bristol,

The  ChriiHcoi  PhytiojegUi,  Sfc  By  ikt 
Author  qfiht  ColUgiam,  Port  8vo.  pp. 
376. 

WHEN  a  man  becomes  a  religionist 
or  a  lover,  he  is  no  longer  a  man  of 
reason,   but  an   enthusiast.    Such   is 
the  case  in  the  work  before  us.    The 
author  is  an  admirer  of  that  exquisite 
model  of  platonism,  the  fmitalto  Ckristi, 
and  he  exhibits  the  most  elevated  sen- 
timent, and  very  considerable  talent. 
But  he  does  not  seem  to  know  that 
the  Imitatio  Christi  is  a  fiction,   an 
epic  poem ;  the  "  Paradise  regained" 
among    puritans,    but    among   philo- 
sophers the  scouted  system  of  Fenelon. 
That  system  is  founded  upon  the  ab- 
surd idea,  that  negative  harmlessness 
is  better  than  positive  good,  and  that 
the  passions  and  enjoyments  of  animal 
life  were  created  for  no  other  purpose 
but  to  impel  us  to  abuse  of  them ;  by 
which  error  the  most  benevolent   of 
beings  is  converted  into  the  devil,  the 
tempter  to  evil.     Philosophers,  how- 
ever, try  all  pretensions  to  hyper-reli- 
gion by  the  laws  of  providence ;  and 
according  to  those  laws,  nothing  can  be 
more  absurd  than  puritanism.     "  The 
passions,'*  says  Mr.  Malihus,  "  are  the 
main  sources  of  virtue  and  happiness, 
and  without  them,  in  what  manner 
could  existence  be  supported,  and  our 
species  be  propagated  ;"  and  as  to  per- 
sonal pleasures,  "  is  the  world/*  as  Mr. 
Haggit  says,  a  place  of  punishment  and 
cruelty  ?     Its  numerous  comforts  show 
that  It  is  not.     Providence   has  only 
annexed    disease   and    misery  to  the 
abuse  of  pleasures;  to  the  legitimate 
use  of  them  no  restraint;  because  with- 
out a  pleasurable  feeling  of  existence, 
men  would    become  suicides.     Now 
let  us  try  puritanism  by  history  ;  was 
Henry  the  Sixth  a  belter  Soveieij^n  of 
this  realm,   with   his  negative  inno- 
cence, than  Alfred  with  his  active  virw 
tue?-  So  little  does  Providence  sane-

lion  ih.il  «ort  of  eharncler,  iliat  the 
vrry  holiness  of  Henry  enableil  hia 
ctiemics  lo  involve  his  couiiiry  in  a 
lansoinnty  conflici  about  ihe  title  to

fonnntiou.  Richard  the  First  was  a 
devotee,  and  expalrlaled  half  the  na- 
tion to  suffer  death  in  the  Crusades. 
Maiy  was  also  n  devotee  in  her  way, 
and  legitimated  the  assassination  of  in- 
ofTcntive  subiects.  Cromwell  and  hia 
poritflns  inHamed  a  civil  war.  Such 
IS  the  eviilence  of  history  in  regard  lo 
devotees  and  puritans,  and  thai  shows 
iheni  ever  lo  have  been  the  authors  of 
civil  and  political  evil. 

But  the  absurdity  of  puritanitm 
does  not  end  here.  Philosophers  know 
also,  that  the  veij  refinement  of  nega- 
tive innocence,  which  our  nuthor 
makes  the  acme  of  perfection,  is  com- 
patible only  with  a  state  of  civilization, 
and  that  the  ingredients  of  i  '    '

puritan  at  all,  ii  entirely  owing  to  ihc 
abstraction  created  by  these  deipiscd

that  to  eicite  a  Gothic  aversion  to  the

The  Life  and  Foyaget  qf  Christopher  Co- 
lumbus.  By  Washington  Irving  fabridged 
by  the  sam^,  l6mo.  pp,  857.  (Tandly 
Library,  No,  XI J 

THIS  work  opens  with  an  account 
of  the  birth,  parentage,  and  education 
of  Columbus.  It  stales  him  to  have 
been  born  in  the  city  of  Genoa,  about 
the  year  1435,  the  son  of  Domenico 
Colombo,  a  wool-comber,  whose  an- 
cestors seem  to  have  followed  the  same 
trade  for  several  generations  in  Genoa. 
While  ver^  young,  he  was  taught 
reading,  writing,  grammar,  arithmetic, 
and  some  drawmg,  but  soon  evinced  a 
strong  passion  for  geography,  and  a 
nautical  life.  To  encourage  this  bias, 
his  father  endeavoured  to  give  him  an 
education  suitable  for  maritime  life. 
He  sent  him  therefore  to  the  University 
of  Pavia,  where  he  was  instructed  in 
geometry,  geography,  astronomy,  and 
navigation ;  and  acquired  a  familiar 
knowledge  of  Latin.  At  the  age  of 
fourteen  he  entered  into  nautical  life, 
and,  says  Mr.  Irving, 

**  A  complete  obscurity  rests  upon  this 
part  of  his  history." — p.  3. 

Here  we  shall  take  our  stand.  We 
allow  that  Mr.  Irving  is  supported  by 
other  writers  concerning  the  early  his- 
tory of  Columbus,  yet  it  plainly  appears 
not  to  be  well  authenticated.  We 
shall  therefore  translate  from  Solor- 
zanus  the  account  given  in  his  learned 
work  '<  De  Indiarum  Jure'*  (L.  i.  c. 
^»  P*  S9)f  because  that  work  comprises 
the  statemenu  of  all  preceding  Spanish 
writers. 

*«  The  first  praise  of  this  great  discovery 
is  by  universal  consent  given  to  Christopher 
Colono,  or  as  others  call  him,  Colombo. 
He  wu  by  nation  a  Ligurian  or  Genoese, 
•X  vico  Nervii,  not  a  man  of  large  fortune, 
but  of  acute  genius,  very  skilful  of  nautical 
matters,  and  most  industrious  cosmographer. 
Having  gone  into  Portugal  to  gain  money 
by  making  and  mending  naval  charts,  and 
married  a  wife  from  the  island  of  Madeira, 
He  emigrated  thither.  There,  as  many 
il^ak,  iba  begva  to  revolve  in  his  own  mind, 


tmd  at  length  to  fix,  lirom  aetroiKNBkd 
sefedcei  and  some  monuBente  of  the  a** 
cients,  aad  other  aigumeots,  which  vanMSs 
authors  report  vMiously,  accordlDg  to  their 
ludcies,  and  especially  Ant.  Herrtr,  m  BUL 
Gen,  Ind,  decad,  i.  lib,  t.  c.  8  <<  8,  the  great 
spaces  of  land  bevood  the  limits  of  the  world 
then  known,  and  the  extent  of  them,  east 
and  west. 

'*  Others  however  say,  that  he  was  led 
into  th'is  knowledge  aad  hope,  by  the  rela- 
tions of  a  certain  guest,  who  having  beea 
shipwrecked  in  the  Atlantic,  wae  thrown  hf 
farce  of  the  tempest  upon  undiscovered  taady 
and  having  delineated  it,  with  dificolty  aS 
length  reached  Madeira;  and  dying  ia  the 
house  and  arms  of  Columbusy  opened  to  him 
the  whole  matter,  as  a  reward  tor  his  hospi- 
tality. To  this  tradition  Tomiel  (m  AmtaL 
Saer,  Tom.  i.  antu  numdi  1931,  num,  4^) 
very  lately  pays  much  respect,  althou^ 
Hier.  Benso  fLib.  i.  HitL  Nov,  Orb,  eap,  4> 
imprudently  affirms,  that  the  story  waa 
trumped  up  by  the  Spaniards,  to  defraad 
Columbus  of  his  glorr. 

«<  Some  affirm,  toat  thb  [shipwrecked 
man]  was  a  Portuguese,  among  whom  ia 
Peter  Damariz  COial.  4  de  Far,  Hist,  c  4. 
Jid,  ISIJ,  who  contends  that  on  this  ac- 
count the  discovery  belongs  to  his  nation. 
But  others  more  frequently  opine  (opinaatur) 
that  this  naufiragee  waa  a  Bsetioan  or  Anda- 
Insian  sailor  and  merchant,  and  that  lus 
name  and  country  remains  in  obecnrity,  be« 
cause  God  chose  that  the  glonr  of  the  dis- 
covery should  be  ascribed  to  Him,  and  noi 
to  men ;  as  observes  Joseph  Acostt  Lib,  t\ 
de  Hist.  Ind,  cap,  19.  Fr.  Oiegor.  Garor  de 
Indor.  oris.  Lib.  i.  c.  4  §  p.  65;  and  Fr« 
Joannes  Torquem  in  Monarch,  Ind.  Ub,  86, 
cap,  i,  i  although  lately  Garcia  Laseiu  Inca, 
in  suis  Comment,  de  Incor.  orig.  Lib,  t.  €S^ 
8,  (who  quotes,  and  seems  to  follow,  Aldretc 
de  Aniiq,  Hispan,  Lib,  4,  cop.  17,  p,  567fl 
and  upon  no  foundation  as  mr  ae  I  know,) 
calls  this  man  Alphonson  Sanchez  fay  aamct 
and  places  his  shipwreck  aboot  toe  year 
1484." 

Thus  Solorvanus,  in  literal  transla* 
tion.  Upon  dubious  questions  of  earlj 
history,  we  are  inclined  to  place  great 
reliance  upon  contemporary  authority 
and  the  opinions  of  the  times.  Among 
the  latter  was  one,  that  the  seat  of  tba 
Antediluvian  paradise  was  under  the 
equinoctial  line,  and  that  from  the 
fertility  and  climate,  Columbus  was 
inclined  to  think  that  he  had  made  tbt 
discovery  (Solorzaous,  p.  46).  It  ia 
however  most  certain  that  ancient  tra- 
ditions did  point  to  the  existence  of 
such  an  unknown  continent,  and  that 
Columbus  might,  and  probably  waa 
instigated  bv  such  hypothetical  antici- 
pations.   The  Atiauieid  of  Plato,  nod

That  Mr.  Washington  Irving  has 
nnderlakcn  the  subject  before  us  is 
forlimaie.  A  writer  who  possesses 
such  high  laslc  and  seniimeni,  could 
not  fail  of  producing  a  most  inlerestiofc 
volume.  Not  only  is  there  grandeur  of 
reflection,  sriiing  from  anlicipaiion  of 
the  hisloricol  consequence  of  the  dis- 
coveiy,  but  new  illustrations  of  the 
history  of  man — especially  of  this  point, 
that  ihe  gregarious  principle  cannot  be 
acted  upon  so  far  ai  regards  progressive 
imptovemenl  and  solid  happiness,  ex- 
cept in  a  Slate  of  civUiialion.  The 
history  of  America,  in  all  other  re- 
spects, lies  in  a  nutshell.  Il  is  merely 
thai  of  savages,  from  whom  nnihing

intended  for  a  scries  of  philosophical 
and  political  Illustrations.  And  as  lo

full  as  seems  to  leave  us  little  room  for 
any  further  general  information  re- 
specting him  ;  and  were  we  to  con- 
clcnse  the  present  account  of  his  life 
and  services,  we  should  but  perform 
less  perfectly  what  has  been  so  well 
recorded  by  an  abler  hand.  Referring 
our  readers  to  that  narrative,  we  will 
content  ourselves  with  a  rapid  glance 
at  the  biography  of  this  accomplished 
man,  reserving  our  extracts  for  some 
of  the  curious  and  entertaining  mat- 
ter with  which  the  volume  abounds. 
And  here  let  us  do  justice  to  the  ta- 
lents and  judgment  which  has  been 
displayed  by  the  Editor  during  the 
whole  progress  of  her  laborious  task. 
Shrinking  with  true  feminine  gentle- 
ness from  afl  obtrusion  of  her  own 
pretensions,  her  sole  aim  has  been  to 

Elace  the  character  of  her  distinguished 
usband  in  its  true  light,  and  this  she 
effects  with  a  simplicity  of  purpose, 
and  an  unostentatious  talent,  at  once 
graceful  and  affecting.  The  pearls  are 
gathered  into  shapes  of  beauty  and 
harmony,  but  the  string  by  which 
they  are  held  together  is  invisible. 
Lady  Raffles  writes  ••  not  herself;*'  her 
memory  dwells  but  on  him  of  whom 
she  was  justly  proud,  and  she  will  rank 
in  after-limes  with  the  Fancourts  and 
the  Hutchinsons,  with  those  exemp- 
lary women,  to  whom  ii  was  given  to 
fhare  in  the  honours  and  virtues  of 
their  living  lords,  and  to  bequeath  the 
rich  legacy  of  their  example  to  poste- 
rity. 

There  is  no  parade  of  religion  in 
"the  Editor"  of  these  volumes,  yet 
does  the  mild  and  steadv  light  or  a 
Christian  |)cn  and  of  a  Christian  tem- 


per giM  every  page  of  her  narrative,  be 
It  of  joy  or  sorrow;  the  rich  Tein  of 
piety  runs  through  all  she  writes,  and 
the  impress  of  a  devout  spirit  is  upon 
all  she  utters.  Her  eulogy  may  be 
written  in  a  few  words, — she  is  the 
worthy  wife  of  Sir  Sumford  Raffles. 

The  subject  of  this  memoir  was 
born  at  sea  off  the  harbour  of  Port  M^o- 
rant  in  the  island  of  Jamaica,  1781. 
What  educatipn  he  gained  was  under 
Dr.  Anderson  of  Hammersmith,  from 
whose  school  he  was  removed  at  the 
early  age  of  14,  and  placed  as  an  extra 
clerk  in  the  India  tlotise.  The  defi- 
ciency of  early  education  was  the  sub- 
ject of  great  regret  to  him  through  life, 
but  no  one  ever  more  successfully  la- 
boured to  remedy  the  defect  than  did 
young  Raffles;  he  studied  in  stolen 
moments,  and  acquired  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  French  by  his  own  un- 
aided exertions.  His  good  character 
and  conduct  in  the  subordinate  office 
he  filled  gained  him  frieiuls;  and  on 
the  esublishment  of  a  settlement  by 
the  East  India  Company  at  Penanc,  he 
was  appointed  assisunt  secretary.  Dur- 
ing the  voyage  he  made  considerable 
progress  in  the  Malayan  language,  in 
which  he  was  soon  afterwards  enabled 
to  converse  with  flueticy,  and  on  the 
accession  of  the  secretary  to  a  seat  in 
the  council,  he  was  appointed  to  the 
vacant  office.  He  was  soon  afterwards 
employed  by  Lord  Mioto  in  procuring 
information  respecting  Java,  the  sub- 
jecting of  which  to  the  British  Govern- 
ment was  now  deemed  of  importance. 
This  conquest  was  speedily  effected, 
and  Mr.  Raffles  was  appointed  Lieute- 
nant Governor,  a  situation  which  he 
held  for  about  five  years.  In  1  SI 6  he 
returned  to  England,  and  published 
his  excellent  History  of  Java.  In 
1818  he  returned  to  India  (having 
been  previously  knighted  by  his  late 
Majesty),  with  the  title  of  Lieutenant 
Governor  of  Fort  Marlborough,  or 
Bencoolen,  the  seat  of  the  English 
Government  at  Sumatra.  In  1884  he 
again  returned  to  England,  after  suffer- 
ing, as  will  be  remembered,  an  im- 
mense loss  by  the  burning  of  the  ves- 
sel in  which  he  had  first  embarked. 
He  lived  in  comparative  retirement  on 
his  estate  at  Ilighwood  near  Hendon, 
Middlesex,  where  he  suddenly  expired 
of  apoplexy,  on  the  6th  of  July,  1886, 
in  the  46th  year  of  his  age.

amiflioraiion  of  the  lelilement,  arid

slavery  was  counteojnced  and  encou- 
raged, and  that  gangs  of  negroes,  lo  lbs

cut  off  a  considerable  part  of  the  flesh,  one 
BMdi  subbed  him  to  the  heart;  but  this 
was  rather  out  of  compliment  to  the  foreign 
▼isitors,  as  it  is  by  no  means  the  custom  to 
give  the  coup  de  grace,** 

The  following  beaalifulU  simple 
sUtemeni  of  a  aingle-hearted  mttaioa- 
ary  is  from  the  pen  of  the  Editor : 

'*  Mr.  Burton  the  missionary  had  request* 
ed  permission  to  leave  Bencoolen  and  settle 
in  the  Batta  country  with  his  wife  aad  chil- 
dreuy  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  schools^ 
aad  devoting  his  life  to  the  education  and 
improvement  of  a  people  whose  character 
and  barbarous  customs  excited  general  hor- 
ror and  detestation.  He  was  exceedingly 
well  received,  and  the  people  gUdly  avaUed 
themselves  of  the  means  of  instruction  thus 
offered  them,  but  after  having  laboured  dili- 
gently for  several  years,  and  succeeded  in 
ealibUshing  schools,  both  himself  and  his 
wilb  fell  a  sacrifice  to  the  climate,  and  the 
Editor  cannot  but  bear  her  testimony  to  the 
brightoesa  of  faith  t  the  humble  trust  in 
Gh>d  alone}  the  total  sacrifice  of  personal 
comfort  which  they  evinced,  when  toey  went 
with  their  infimt  children  among  these  peo- 
pie,  with  the  determination  there  to  live  and 
die,  there  to  devote  themselves  to  the  la- 
bour of  love,  In  the  hope  of  conveying  the 
glad  tidings  of  the  Gospel  to  those  who  had 
yet  to  learn  that  the  Son  of  God  died  for 
them." 

Sir  S.  Raffles  gives  the  foljowins  ac- 
ooqnt  of  the  eruptioD  from  the  Tom- 
boro  mountain  in  the  island  of  Sam< 
bawa,  one  of  the  roost  violent  and  ex< 
traordinary  of  such  explosions  yet 
known. 

The  first  explosions  were  heard  in 
this  island  on  the  evening  of  the  5th 
of  April,  and  the  noise  wos  in  the  first 
instance  almost  universally  attributed 
to  distant  cannon. 

**On  the  following  morning,  however, 
(says  Sir  S.  Raffles)  a  slight  fall  of  ashes  re- 
moved all  doubt  as  to  the  cause  of  thi 
sound,  and  it  is  worthy  of  remark,  that  as 
the  eruption  continued,  the  sound  appeared 
to  be  so  close,  that  in  each  district  it  seem- 
ed near  at  hand;  it  was  attributed  to  an 
eruption  from  the  Marapi,  the  Gunung 
Kloot,  or  the  Gunung  Bromo. 

"From  the  6th,  the  sun  became  ob- 
tcmred:  it  hmd  evtry  appearance  of  being 


•■rsloped  in  fog,  the  weather  was  eoltiy, 
aad  the  atmosphere  cloee  end  still ;  ^la  s«i 
eeemed  shorn  of  its  rays,  aad  the  general 
stillness  and  pressure  of  the  atasoepheif 
foreboded  an  earthquake.  This  lasted  seve- 
ral days,  the  explosions  continued  ecca- 
siooally,  but  less  violentiv,  and  less  fire- 
quently  than  at  first.  Volcanic  ashes  also 
bigan  to  fiill,  but  in  small  quantities ;  aad 
so  slightly  as  to  be  hardly  perceptible  la  tha 
western  districts. 

**  Thn  appearance  of  the  atmosphere  re- 
mained with  little  variation,  until  the  10th 
of  April,  and  till  then  it  does  not  appear 
that  the  volcano  attracted  much  obsem* 
tioB,  or  was  eonsidered  of  greater  unport* 
aaoe  than  those  which  have  oceasioaally 
burst  forth  in  Java.  But  on  the  eveniag  m 
the  lOth,  the  eruptions  were  heard  mors 
loud,  and  more  frequent  from  Cheribon  east- 
ward ;  the  air  became  darkened  bv  the  quan- 
tity of  falling  ashes,  and  in  several  situaUons, 
particularly  at  Solo  and  Rembang,  many 
said  that  they  felt  a  tremulous  motion  A 
the  earth.  It  is  universally  rsmarkbd  io  the 
more  eastern  districts,  that  the  explosiims 
were  tremendous,  continuing  freooently  dur- 
ing the  11th,  and  of  sooh  viotence  as  ta 
shake  the  houses  perceptibly  i  aa  unusually 
thick  darkness  was  remarked  all  tha  follow- 
ing night,  and  tlie  greater  part  of  the  next 
day.  At  Solo,  on  the  19tn,  at  four  p.  m, 
objecta  were  not  vuible  at  800  yards  dis- 
tance. At  Gresie,  and  other  districts  more 
eastward,  it  was  dark  as  nieht  the  gr^Mr 
part  of  the  18th  of  April,  and  this  saturated 
state  of  the  atmosphere  lessened  as  the  cloud 
of  ashes  passed  along  and  discharged  itself 
on  its  way.  Thus  the  ashes,  which  were 
eight  inches  deep  at  Baayuwtagi,  were  but 
two  in  depth  at  Sumaaap»  aad  still  less  in 
Ghresie ;  and  the  sun  does  not  seem  to  have 
been  actually  obscured  in  any  district  wcat* 
ward  of  Samarang." 

Lady  Kaffles  relates  an  affecting 
anecdote  of  the  character  and  feeling 
of  the  natives  of  Bencoolen.  She  was 
suffering  under  the  bereavement  of  a 
child,  a  boy  of  great  promise. 

*<  Unable  to  bear  the  sight  of  her  other 
children,  unable  to  bear  even  the  light  of 
day,  humbled  upon  her  couch,  with  a  feel- 
ing of  misery,  when  she  was  thus  addreesed 
by  a  poor  ignorant  uninstructed  native  wo«> 
roan  of  the  lowest  class  (who  had  been  ma* 
ployed  about  the  nursery)  in  terms  of  nr 
prpach  not  to  be  forgotten  :  <  I  am  cobm 
iMaause  you  have  been  here  many  days  shut 
up  in  a  durk  room,  and  no  one  dares  to  come 
near  you.  Are  you  not  ashamed  to  grieve 
in  this  manner,  when  you  ought  to  be 
thanking  God  for  having  given  you  the 
roost  beautiful  child  that  ever  was  s^en? 
Were  you  not  the  envy  of  every  body  ?  Did

ry,  from  the  opening  of  the  I^ong  Par- 
liameiiltn  ihc  death  of  Onin well ;  anil 
haiinp  occation  to  lueniion  ihe  pro- 
scripuon  of  the  Book  of  Common 
Prayer,  introduci-s  an  account  of  Iiaak 
Walton*!  prayer-book,  still  in  the  pos- 
leMion  of  his  descendant  Dr.  Hawcs  of 
Salisbury,  and  rendered  invaluable  by 
the  Ma.  family  memoranda  in  the 
handwriting  of  the  far-celebrated  an- 
gler. Among  these  is  the  first  draft  of 
honest  Isaak*s  affectionate  epitaph  to 
his  wife  in  Winchester  cathedral,  of 
which  Mr.  Bowles  presents  us  with  a 
lithographic  fac-simile.  We  are  next 
led  to  witness  the  triumph  of  the  church 
,  party,  and  their  citadel,  Oxford,  on  the 
Restoration,  with  which,  and  a  review 
of  the  life  of  Bishop  Morley,  Ken's 
fiiat  pation,  the  present  Tolume  con- 
cludes. 

From  the  pen  of  Mr.  Bowles,  we  are 
sure  of  having  two  of  the  neatest  and 
least  tedious  volumes  of  biography  ever 
written  ;   and,  although  in   this  first 
volume  we  are  brought  no  further  in 
the  history  of  Ken  than  his  twenty- 
third  year,  in  fact  his  entrance  into 
life,  it  IS  to  be  recollected  that  the  ob- 
iect  of  our  author  is  to  connect  that 
ife  with  the  times  in  which  it  was 
.past,  an*J  during  which   the  suppres- 
sion and  restoration  of  monarchy,  and 
.  the  attendant  ejection  and  restoration 
of  the  Church  of  England  clergy,  are 
'  among  the  most  prominent  events. 

Reserving  the  tonic  of  Bishoj>  Ken's 

.  own  history  to  a  future  occasion,  we 

shall    for  our   present  extracts   select 

some  of  Mr.  Bowles's  incidental,  but 

fiot  less  important,  remarks. 

To  the  numerous  admirers  of  Isaak 
Walton,  this  work,  as  the  life  of  his 
friend  and  brother-in-law,  offers,  on 
those  grounds  only,  considerable  attrac- 
tions. It  aJM) contains  much  to  ^ratify 
them  rebtive  to  honest  Isaak  himself. 
Illustrated  by  a  beautiful  lithographic 
drawing  by  Mr.  Lane,  A.R.A.  from  a 
dcsif^n  by  Mr.  Calcoti,  ll.A.  of  the 
.  parti n«:  interview  between  Morley,  and 
Isaak  Walton  and  his  wife  Kemia,  at 
Walton's  cottage  in  Staffordshire,  we 
have  an  imaginary  conversation-piece, 
in  which  we  are  made  witnesses  of  the 
affecting  farewell,  in  a  style  so  faith- 
fullv  imitative  of  that  employed  in  the 
*'  Contemplative  Man's  Kecre.it ion,'* 
that  we  much  regret  our  8(>ace  forbids 
us  to  extract  it. 

lu  the  Introduction  is  a  no  less  sue- 
cestful  imitation  of  the  very  different 


style  of  Swift's  Tale  of  aTub ;  in  which 
some  rircuinstances  in  the  present  po- 
sition of  the  episcopal  church  in  tnrs 
kingdom  are  thus  good-humouredly- 
exliibited : 

"  If  I  might  lotrodiioe  fbr  a  aMincat  the 
well-known  diaraecera  in  a  popalBr  taU, 
Lord  Peter,  Jsek,  sod  Martin,*  1  misht 
say  that  the  fata  of  Martin  has  keen  ratMr 
hard.  Mauy  of  his  family  ware  bvna  by 
Lord  Peter,  for  readiag  a  wicked  book  eallad 
■  the  BiBLi ;'  and,  wlien  Jmek  got  tbarbetltr 
for  a  little  while,  ha  taraetl  the  ehildraa  of 
honest  Martin  upon  the  parish,  because  he 
said  they  were  fi»nd  of  Lord  Pstcr*s  ^m 
cloathf,  who  BuaNT  them  alivbI  It  Ip 
tme  Martin  tried  to  make  Jaak  mwmUow  the 
Prayer-book  i  and  Jack,  in  return,  erammad 
the  Cwreoant  down  Mania's  throat !  Whin 
Martin  got  the  better,  he  toM  Jade  that  be 
most  give  up  the  places  he  held  so  long  from 
the  right  owner*,  onleM  he  wooM  My  tin 
'  Lord's  Prayer,'  put  on  a  snrpliee,  ami 
read  out  of  the  Prayer-book,  wnieh  Jack 
never  would  do,  and  has  remsined  somewhat 
testy  ever  tinoe.  *  ^ 

**  If  Martin  humbly  hopes  Lord  Peter 
will  not  bum  any  more  of  nia  chiMrcB,  be 
(Peter)  decUrei,  '  Burn  them !  why,  you 
vaikt,  you  nuarU  to  bum  us !'  and  then  be 
swears  a  great  oath,  (hat  nothing  eaa  be 
easier  to  prove !  A  newspaper  is  fiiaod,  by 
which  it  appean  that  Ridley  and  LaUmcr, 
who  perlslied  in  the  flames,  were  only  served 
as  they  mtght  to  have  ^vm,  fur  they  '  in- 
tayifd  to  do  the  same  by  othera !  'f 

*<  £very  body  knows  that,  in  the  quarrels 
between  the  three  brothen,  Martin  at  last 
got  the  upper  hand.  With  the  assistance 
of  Jack,  he  put  Lord  Peter  m  thi  trocxa : 
and  then  Martin  said  to  Jack,  *  My  good 
brother,  you  ire  a  sober,  industrious  work- 
man, as  any  in  the  town,  and,  if  yon  will 
only  go  to  church t  once  in  a  way,  }ou  shall 
come  into  the  Corporati<m.*  Jack  said  ha 
would  never  go  to  church,  ^r  he  hated  or- 
gans, surplices,  end  kneeling !  so  Peter  re- 

*  *'  Churches  of  Rome,  Geneva,  Eng- 
land."

that  it  was  ioteude<l  t<>  bum  him,  till,  Iteiog 
on  a  raised  seat  at  St.  Mary's  ehurch  in

intimation,  and  burst  into  taara.  Dr.  Oole, 
to  comfort  the  miserable  victim,  ifr  hb  •eer- 
mon  proceeded  thus :  ^  But,  least  he  should 
carry  with  him  no  comfort,  he  would  diib*-

name  of  all  the  priests  that  were  preaeat,

The  Rev.  Edward  P.  Hannam's  Hospital 
Manual  of  Prayers  for  Sick  Soldiers  is  well 
adapted  to  the  purpuie*  and  for  this  obvious 
rea»ony  that  an  invalid  can  do  nothing  else 
but  take  physic  and  pray,  and  that  he  who 
does  not  do  the  latter  when  he  is  well,  is 
a  fool,  and,  when  sick,  an  absolute  idiot ; 
for  what  can  a  man  do  in  any  situation  with- 
out Providence,  and  when  does  he  most 
need  it  .> 

The  Rev.  Alexandbr  Stewart's  Com- 
pemHum  ofMcleni  Geography  abounds  with 
meful  mfi>rraation,  and  is  ingeniously  ar- 
ranged. 

Mr.  Bluht's  Ferocity  of  iJie  Five  Books 
of  Moses,  deserves  the  attention  of  students 
in  theology. 

We  recommend  Dr.  Hebkrden's  Rtflee- 
iioNS  on  the  Gospel  of  St.  John  to  the  general 
readers  of  religious  books.  We  remind  Dr. 
H.  of  Alison's  beautiful  sermon  on  the  man 
born  blind,  in  reference  to  the  case  stated 
ch.  ix.  p.  84.  But  Dr.  H.  did  not  intend 
hia  book  for  a  commentary.  Nevertheless 
that  first  of  all  the  gospels  eminently  requires 
•nefa  an  aid,  to  appreciate  its  real  divinity 
sod  beaaty. 

Wa  should  have  paid  more  attention  to 
Mr.  RoBERTt'a  Paratlel  Miracles,  or  the  Jews 
emd  Gipsies,  if  it  had  not  abounded  with 
that  baneful  pseudo-religion^  which  we  deem 
it  a  most  important  public  duty  to  oppose. 
Mr.  Roberts  thinks  that  the  gipsies,  because 
they  do  not  sing  and  whistle  (as  do  birds 
and  bees)  and  indulge  in  the  follies  of 
mechanics,  are  better  men  than  the  latter. 
Philosophers,  however,  know,  that  vaga- 
bonds, even  of  unquestionable  innocence, 
art   only  fruges  consumere  Ttati,   lend  no 


service  to  their  fellow- eraatures,  dissolve 
the  first  ties  of  society,  and  impede  civiliza- 
tion ;  whereas  soldiers,  sailors,  and  mecha- 
nics, though  they  may  be  the  reverse  of  pu- 
riUns,  are  and  must  be  useful.  A  gip»ey, 
in  a  civil  view,  is  only  a  fox  or  a  polecat. 
He  lives  upon  the  food  of  others.  Setting 
aside,  however,  unphilosopbieal  mmaense, 
Mr.  Rolwru's  work  is  a  cnriooa  ooa  t  auH 
we  would  praise  the  literary  part,  if  it  ware 
not  for  the  absurd  principles  which  it  ad- 
vocates. 

We  wish  every  snccesi  to  the  PUn  of 
EditcatioH  proposed  for  the  Bristol  College. 

We  are  glad  to  find,  firom  the  Rmew  if 
Captain  Basil  HalCs  Traaxls  m  Ntirth  Ante-

the  New  World  do  not  entertain  that  anti- 
pathv  to  their  relatives  m  the  parent  Islea 
which  is  commonly  suppoaed. 

We  warmly  recommend  Mr.  RivnoLDt*!

ments. — — 

Mr.  0*DoNNELL*s  Address  to  hoth  Bouses 
of  Parliament  on  the  H'est  India  Quettiim, 
turns  upon  this  point,  viz.  that  the  West 
India  Islands  cannot  be  cultivated  without 
the  aid  of  slaves,  until  by  emigration,  and 
improved  civilization,  free  labour  would  be 
sufficienu  It  is  shown  in  the  Letter  from 
Sydney,  that  wherever  territory  hr  exceeds 
population,  there  exists  no  other  means  of 
bringing  the  former,  unless  there  be  con- 
victs or  free  labourers,  into  fiill  cultivation. 
To  abolish  slaverv,  and  yet  have  the  utmoat 
proceeds  from  the  soil,  is  the  difficulty  to 
be  surmounted ;  and  it  is  no  small  one,  smce 
the  author  inffirms  us,  that  in  our  West  In- 
dia possessions  are  now  800,000  slaves,  and 
a  capital  in  the  land  and  liuiMiugs  of  a  hun- 
dred and  fifty  millions,  (p.  84.)  He  shows 
us  in  p.  95,  that  the  negroes  hate  fewer 
hours  of  work,  and  more  comforts^  than 
English  labourers  or  Irish  paupers.

Of  other  years  might  koow, 
When  Earth  iu  secret  should  disclose. 

Whose  bones  were  laid  below. 

**  pBACi  TO  THE  oiAD*'  oo  children  sung, 

Slow  pacing  up  the  nave  ; 
No  prayera  were  read»  no  knell  was  rung» 

As  deep  we  dug  his  grave. 

We  only  heard  the  winter's  wind. 

In  many  a  sullen  gust. 
As,  o'er  the  open  grave  Indin'd, 
-   We  monnur'd,  *•  Dust  to  dust !" 

A  moon-beam,  from  the  arches*  height 
Stream*d,  as  we  plac*d  the  stone ; 

The  long  aisles  started  into  light, 
And  all  the  windows  shone. 

We  thought  we  saw  the  banners  then, 

That  shook  alone  the  walls. 
While  the  sad  shaiSat  of  mailed  men 

Were  gazing  from  the  stalls. 

And  buried  Kings,  a  spectre  train, 

Seem'd  in  the  dusk  to  glide. 
As  fitful,  through  the  pillar'd  fime. 

Faint  Misbrbris  died.

And  onlv,  by  the  t»rch,  we  trac*d 
Our  siuidows  on  the  ground.

Where  Hb— slept  in  his  shroud. 

We  hud  the  broken  marble  floor — 
No  name,  no  trace  appears— 

And  when  we  clos'd  the  sounding  door 
We  thought  of  him  with  tears. 

*  As  this  composition  might  appear, 
in  some  turns  of  exnmssion,  to  resemble  a 
celebrated  military  tuneral  dirge  (the  death 
of  Sir  John  Moore),  I  can  only  say,  it  was 
written  soon  after  the  account  of  the  late 
disinterment  of  Charles.  The  metre  and 
phrase  is  the  same  as  some  lines  published 
twenty  years  ago  : 

**  0*er  my  poor  Annans  lonely  grave 
No  dirge  shall  sound,  no  bell  tudlring.*'>

With  melancholy  mmd ! 
Thou  meagre,  ghastly,  shapeleie  Aiaf , 
How  many  ways  thou  hast  to  bri^g 

Distress  upon  mankind ! 

How  oft,  o'er  youth  and  beauty  d«nd» 
The  drooping  mother  bends  her  head. 

With  many  a  briny  tear ; 
Wj^rs  her  child's  cold,  helpless  daj> 
Then  sinks  herself,  a  ling'ring'prej 

To  Grief,  and  wan  Despair  I 

Yon  little,  wretched,  helplew  baad 
Around  their  widow'd  mother  alMMlt 

And  cry  in  vain  for  hreafd : 
Alas  !  their  guide,  their  &th«r,  friend. 
On  whom  alone  they  did  depend. 

Lies  number'd  with  the  dend!* 

As  some  fair  rose,  the  ^srden's  pride. 
When  piuck'd  in  haste,  and  thrown  aside. 

Lies  wither'd  in  its  bloom. 
The  maid  adom'd  with  ev'ry  craee. 
Ingenuous  mind,  and  lovely  noe. 

Is  snatoh'd  mto  the  tomb! 

The  wife  belov'd,  the  mother  dear, 
Is  laid  on  the  untimely  bier ; 

The  husband  raves  in  vam, 
While,  weeping  o'er  their  nother  dead. 
Her  blooming  offspring  hang  the  haed^ 

Like  flow'rets  drench'd  in  rain !

The  grief  she  fieels  dares  not  impart^ 
But,  oherish'd  in  her  aohins  beert. 

It  rankles  at  the  eore ! 

But  now  what  terror  shakes  my  hand  ? 
The  pen,  oh  Death !  I  scarce  command, 

fo  teU  thy  horrid  wavs, 
When,  shunning  day's  refulgent  light. 
And  hid  beneath  the  gloom  of  nignt. 

The  prowling  murd'rer  strays ! 

With  heart  and  band  prepar'd  for  blood. 
Like  some  fell  tiger  from  the  wood. 

He  darts  uoon  his  prey ; 
And,  while  bis  napless  victim's  lifis 
Yet  reeks  upon  the  guilty  knils. 

Unseen  lie  glides  away ! 

The  law,  oh  Death!  is  fix'd  by  Fkle, 
That  all  mankind  roust,  soon  or  laie. 

Be  subject  to  thy  swar } 
But  put  not  on  that  frii^t^  aaien.

Great  Power  Supreme !  who  reigo'st  nbovc^

HISTORICAL  CHRONICLE. 


PROCEEDINGS    IN    PARLIAMENT. 


House  op  Lords*  March  9%, 
The  Lord  ChanceUor  brought  forward  bis 
proposed  altentiona  in  the  proceedings  of  the 
Courts  of  Law  and  EfiuiTV.    The  object 
in  view  he  seid  vas  to  usimilftte  the  practice 
of  the  Couru  of  King's  Bench,  Common 
Pleas,  and  Exchequer ;  to  simplify  the  prac- 
tice of  special  pleading,  and  to  regulate  the 
froportioDs  of  business  within  these  courts, 
so  as  to  afford  relief  to  the  Court  of  King's 
Bench,  which  was  now  overwhelmed  with 
busioess,  \y  throwmc  part  of  it  into  the 
Court  of  Exchequer,  the  latter  being  erected 
Into  a  Court  of  Common  Law,  distinct  from 
an  Equity  Court.     An  additioual  Judge  in 
each  Court  would  also  be  appointed  for  the 
dispatch  of  busint-ss,  which  was  to  be  effect- 
ed by  the  doing  away  w'.th  the  Welch  juili- 
cial  offices.     His  Lordship  next  adverted  to 
the  stite  of  the  law  in  Scotland,  and  men- 
tioned the  intention  of  introduciog  into  that 
country  the  trial  by  jury  in  all  cases ;  and  al- 
luded to  the  commissions  appointed  to  exa- 
mine into  the  laws  affecting  real  property  in 
this  country,  and  also  to  the  commission  of 
enquiry  into  the  ecclesiastical  law  j  neither 
of  which  had  yet  made  a  report.     He  then 
proceeded  to  cousider  the  state  of  business  in 
the  Court  of  Chancery,  and  proposed  the  ap- 
pointment of  an  additional  judge  to  clear  off 
the  arrear  of  business,  whose  office  would 
terminate  when  that  was  effected.      With 
respect  to  Bankruptcy  business,  the  noble 
and  Itemed  Lord  proposed  some  regulstions ; 
among  others  to  make  country  commissions 
embrace  about  the  same  number  of  commis- 
sioners as   London   commissions.     Having 
stated  all  his  views  upon  these  important 
questions,  he  concluded  by  asking  for  leave 
to  bring  in  a  bill  for  further  fiicilitatiog  the 
administration    of  justice   in    the  superior 
courts  of  law.  —  The  bill   was  then  read  a 
first  time. 

March  93.  The  Marquis  of  Ctanricarde 
brought  forward  a  motion  censuring  the  Go- 
vernment of  this  country  for  preventing  the 
Portuguese  refugees,  who  were  ordered  to 
leave  England,  from  landing  at  Terceira.  His 
Lordship  ra'd  it  was  a  breach  of  our  vaunted 
■eutrality,  committed  in  favor  of  the  usurper, 
Don  Migufl. — The  Earl  vf  Aberdeen  op- 
posed the  motion,  as  castiog  an  andeserved 
eeusure  u{ion  the  Government.-r-Xiord  Hoi" 
land  cuuteoded  that  the  attack  on  the  expe- 
dition was  a  violation  of  the  law  of  nations. — 
The  Duke  of  1VcUv<gton  justified  the  con- 
duct of  Goveromeut.  Don  Pedro,  he  »aid, 
possessed  no  portion  of  the  territoiies  of 
Ponugai  §ince  the  reparation  of  tlie  two 
Crowoi,^~Tha  Lard  Chancellor  spoke  at  some 


length  in  defence  of  the  Government.— Their 
Lordships  then  divided,when  there appcarad. 
Contents,  30  ;  Not  Contents,  196, 

House  op  Commons,  March  96. 
Mr.  P.  Thompson  moved  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  Committee  to  enquire  into  the 
present  sute  of  taxation,  and  tha  best  oMHla 
of  collecting  taxes  with  the  least  possible  in- 
convenience to  the  people.— The  ChaneeUar 
of  the  Exchequer  opposed  the  motion,  and 
a^ter  considerable  discussion  it  was  negatived 
by  a  majority  of  147  to  78. 

March  96.  On  the  motion  of  the  Chan- 
ceUor of  the  Exchequer,  the  house  resolved 
itself  into  a  committee  up«n  the  Foar  per 
Cent.  Annuities  Bill.  Tiie  right  hon.  gent, 
said,  that  it  was  a  matter  of  coiwratulation 
that  the  time  had  arrived  when  Cravamment 
could  relieve  the  publio  from  a  further  bur- 
den of  about  two  millions.  He  proposed  to 
reduce  the  interest  upon  the  stock  in  ques- 
tion from  4  to  8§  per  cent.,  the  aituatioa  of 
the  country  being  such  as  to  warrant  the 
proposition.  The  terms  which  he  proposed 
to  give  to  the  holders  of  the  4  per  cents, 
were,  to  give  them  100  stock  of  toe  8f  per 
cents,  which  were  at  about  99f .  He  also 
proposed  to  give  an  aesarance  that  no  fur- 
ther reduction  should  be  made  for  tea  years. 
The  proposed  reduction  would  be  a  saving 
to  the  country  to  the  aoMHint  of  778,000/. 
After  some  discussion^  the  resolution  was 
agreed  to. 

In  a  Committee  of  Supply,  on  the  pro- 
position for  voting  I74,584Z.  9s,  4d.  fur 
the  expenses  of  the  superannuation  of  civil 
officers  in  the  naval  aervioe.  Sir  H,  Heron 
objected  to  the  reared  pensions  of  Mr.  Ba- 
thurst  and  Mr.  Dundas,  Imth  of  whom  had 
retired  with  allowances  of  6002.  and  4001.  a 
year ;  the  one  as  a  commissioner  of  tbo 
victualling  board,  and  the  other  as  a  oom- 
missioner  of  the  navv  board,  their  period  of 
service  being  only  three  years.  He  should 
therefore  movej  as  an  amendment,  that  the 
vote  be  reduced  by  900i. — ^The  CkameelUfrof 
the  Exchequer  assured  the  House,  that  in  da* 
ciding  upon  the  claims  of  these  gendemen, 
the  Treasury  had  acted  upon  an  old  and  es- 
tablished rule,  without  tlie  least  reference  to 
the  birth  or  connexions  of  the  parties.—  Mr. 
Hohhouse  $a\d,  that  it  was  impossible  to  de- 
feud  these  appointments. — Mr.  Peel  said, 
the  compeDSMtioo  made  was  only  what  was 
usual  on  such  occasions.— The  (Committee 
then  divided,  when  the  numbers  were— for 
Sir  R.  Heron's  amendment,  139;  agmosl 
it,  191.

Rcar-Adm.  Hanreycontinoed  to  senre 
in  the  ChaunH  fleet  u mil  tbe  spring  of 
Ifl09»  at  which  period  a  serioiM  misan- 
derttandtng  took  place  between  him  and 
Lord  Gambaen  «ho  at  that  tine  held 
the  chief  command.  The  subject  of  our ' 
lOemotr  was  In  con<^«quence  brought  to 
trial  by  a  Court  Martial,  a  report  of 
which  will  be  seen  in  our  vol.  LXXIX,  p. 
478.  The  sentence  waa  that  **  the

retpectfttlly  of  him  to  several  oflkers,

Hanrey  should  bedismistedhli  Majesty's

both  parClcfl  engaged  in  this  lamentable  ■ 
affair,  was  so  uDlmpeaehahle,- that  a- 
veil  was  thrown  over  the  circumstance; 
and  IUai«>Admi.'  Harvey  wa^  duly  pro- 
moted to  the  rank  of  Vice- Admiral 
1810,  nominated  a  K.  CB.  1815,  made 
a^nll  Admiral  48199  •"<!  i^  G*C.  B.  1885. 

Sir  Biiab  Harvey  first  entered  Parlia- 
ment in  May  1780,  at  a  Bnrgeta  for 
Maldon,  on  the  death  of  the  Hon.  Rich- 
ard S.  Nassau  |  he  was  re*choeen  at  the  ' 
general  eleetiou  in  that  year,  and  sat 
till  1784.  He  was  elected  a  Verdurer 
of  Wakham  Forest  on  the  death  of  Sir 
William  Wake,  Bart,  in  1786)  but  waa 
not  again  reiurnvd  to  the  House  of ' 
ConMnons  until  chosen  for  the  county 
at  the  general  election  in  1803,  when  he  - 
succeeded  Thonas  B.  Bramston,  esq. 
whose  son  is  now  fleeted  In  bis  room. 
Sir  Eliab  has  not,  however,  represented 
Esbex  from  that  time  without  inierrop- 
tipoi  he  was  re-«lected  in  1806,  and 
18071  but  retired  in  1818.  In  1818  and 
1818  John  Archer  Houblon,  erq.  was 
returned;'  but  in  1880  Sir  Eliab  was 
again  successful,  and  was  re-«lectedin 
1896.  In  his  political  opinions,  as  de- 
scended ■  from  an  old  Ttiry- famtlyj- he  ' 
gave  a  steady  but  -not  servile  support  to 
the  administrations  of  Mr.  Pitt  and  the  - 
laie  Earl  of  Liverpool  i  but  was  in  the 
rolaority  on  tbe  great  question  of  Ro- 
man Catholic  Emancipation. 


Sir  Eliab  HunN-y  morried,  Mmy  15, 
1784,  Lady  Louisa  Nugent,  yoangef 
daughter  and  coheir  of  Robert  Earl  Nu- 
gent, and  aunt  to  the  present  Duke  of 
Buckingham  and  Earl  Nug^t.  His 
eldest  son,  Cspr.  Harvev,  was  slain  at 
the  siege  of  Burgos  iu  1818;  William, 
tbe  younger,  died  soon  after  the  com- 
pletion of  his  81st  year,  in  1883.  Six- 
daughters  survive,  of  whom  tbe  eldest 
was  married,  Oct.  8,  1804,  to  William '

wards had  the  honour  of  conreying 
Ferdinand  IV.  from  Palermo  lo  Melaaio, 
Messina,  and  Naples.  On  his  arrival  off 
the  latter  place,  the  Kinf^  refused  to  i^o 
ashore  in  the  royal  barge,  saying  be 
would  rather  be  landed  and  reinstated 
by  his  friend  the  British  Admiral,  upon 
whom  he  then  conferred  the  Grand 
'Crosa  of  St.  Ferdinand  and  of  Merit, 
presenting  bim  at  the  same  time  with 
an  enamelled  snuflf-bux,  having  his  Ma- 
jesty's portrait  set  in  large  diamonds 
upon  this  lid. 

On  the  8d  Jan.  1816,  Rear-Adm.  Pen- 
rose was  nominated  a  K.  C.  B. ;  and  in 
March  following,  with  his  flag  in  the 
Bombay  74,  he  accompanied  Lord  Ex- 
month  from  Minorca,  upon  an  expedi- 
tion to  Tunis  and  Algiers.  Had  it  then 
been  found  necessary  to  adopt  hostile 
measures  at  the  latter  place,  for  which 
the  sc|uadron  was  fully  prepared,  the 
SMBe  honorable  station  was  assigned  to 
Sir  Charles  Penrose  which  Lord  Ex- 
month  toolc,  and  so  nobly  maintained, 
on  the  glorious  87th  Aug.  1816.  Sir 
Charles  was  at  Malta  when  bis  Lordship 
re-entered  the  Mediterranean,  for  the 
purpose  of  chastising  tbe  barbarians 
tlmuld  they  refuse  to  malce  reparation 
for  tlieir  renewed  aggressions.  Hearing 
of  his  Lordship's  arrival,  and  the  object 
of  tbe  expedition,  be  immediately  sailed 
from  Valette  in  the  Ister  frigate,  Capt. 
Thomas  Forrest ;  but  arrived  too  late 
to  take  bis  share  in  tbe  attack  upon 
Algiers  ;  which  Lord  Exmouth  particu- 
larly lamented,  as  <*  his  services  would 
have  been  desirable  in  every  respect." 
Still,  although  Sir  Charles  bad  the  mor- 
tification to  find  that  tbe  principal  ob- 
ject of  the  expedition  had  been  accom- 
plished without  bis  participation,  bis 
services,  as  Lord  Exmouth's  representa- 
tive, during  the  last  three  days'  nego- 
ciations  with  tbe  Dey,  were  found  parti- 
cularly useful  ;  and  *<  the  prudence, 
firmness,  and  ability  with  which  he  con- 
ducted himself "  on  that  delicate  occa- 
sion were  highly  praised  by  bis  Lordship. 

In  Sept.  1816,  Sir  Charles  Penrose 
once  more  assumed  the  chief  command 
on  the  Mediterranean  station  ;  and 
•horily  afterwards  be  was  presented  by 


Pope  Pius  VIL  with  two  snpefb  oiaryt 
rases,  in  consideration  of  tbe  expeditions 
and  humane  manner  in  which  the  eman- 
cipated subjects  of  bis  Hulincea  worn 
forwarded  to  the  Roman  States. 

Sir  Charles  afterwards  accompanied 
bis  friend  Sir  Thomas  Maitland,  Lord 
High  Commissioner  uf  the  Ionian  islandi, 
to  Prevesa,  in  Albania,  where  they  were 
for  several  days  entertained  by  the  cele- 
brated Ali  Pacha,  during  which  time 
business  of  much  importance  was  trans- 
acted. In  Aug.  1817,  being  then  off 
Leghorn,  with  bis  flag  on  board  tbe 
Albion  74,  Sir  Charles  was  honored  with 
a  visit  by  a  party  of  distinguished  indi- 
viduals, amongst  whom  were  Leopoldina 
Carolina,  the  late  Empreas  of  BraaU, 
who  bad  recently  been  married  by  proxy  $ 
Maria-Louisa,  widow  of  Napoleon  Buo- 
naparte )  several  others  of  tbe  Austrian 
Arch-Duchesses  ;  Leopold  II.  Grand 
Duke  of  Tuscany;  Leopold  Count  of 
Syracuse  ;  Prince  Metternich,  tbe  great 
diplomatist;  General  Count  de  Neip- 
perg ;  and  tbe  Portuguese  Adm.  Sousa. 

On  tbe  37tb  April,  1818,  the  Order  of 
St.  Miehael  and  St.  George  was  insti- 
tuted for  the  Ionian  islanda,  and  for  the 
ancient  sovereignty  of  Malta  and  its  de- 
pendencies. By  the  rules  of  that  Order, 
tbe  naval  Commander-in-chief  in  tbe 
Mediterranean  is  to  be  first  i^  princi- 
pal Knight  Grand  Croas  thereof,  bat 
only  for  tbe  time  he  .holds  his  profes- 
sional appointment.  Sir  Charles  F^ 
rose,  however,  was  specially  authorised 
to  bear  tbe  title  and  wear  the  insignia 
for  life,  in  consequence  of  hit  long  ser> 
vices  on  that  station,  and  bis  having  been 
there  at  the  institution  of  the  Order. 
We  believe  that  tbe  late  Lord  Guttfoid 
and  himself  were  the  only  persons  to 
whom  that  privilege  was  allowed. 

The  merchants  at  Malta  subsequently 
presented  Sir  Charles  Penrose  with  n 
service  of  plate,  as  a  token  of  their  re- 
spect and  esteem  ;  the  Captains  and 
Commanders  under  his  orders  likewise 
requested  bis  acceptance  of  a  splendid 
silver  salver,  with  a  flattering  inscrip- 
tion, expressive  of  their  high  respect  for 
his  public  and  private  character.  He 
returned  borne  in  the  spring  of  18I9« 
and  was  advauced  to  the  rank  of  Vice- 
Admiral  July  19,  1821. 

In  1834  be  published  an  ably  written 
pamphlet  entitled,  *<  Observations  on 
Corporal  Puiiiihment,  Impressment,  and 
other  matters  relative  to  the  present 
state  of  bis  Majesty's  Navy ;  which  gives 
some  interesting  anecdotea  relative  to 
naval  discipline  which  bad  occurred  in 
bis  own  experience  (see  some  extracts 
in  Marshall's  Royal  Naval   Biography,

successful  assault  of  the  strong  poat  of 
Bbowannee^  which  was  carried^  after  a 
long  and  desperate  resistance.  Major 
Keatin^e  acted  fur  some  time  as  Dc«

proceeded  to  Ireland  to  succeed  to  the 
extensive  property  of  his  uDcle,  Patrick 
Don,  Esq.,  who  died  in  18ll>at  the  age 
of  ninety-six. 

After  Migor  Keatinge's  return  to  Ir»> 
land,  be  was,  without  the  slightest  soli- 
citation, brevetted  as  Major,  and  ap- 
pointed a  Companion  of  tha  Batb.  From 
the  same  period,  he  has  resided  constant- 
ly in  Ireland,  improving  his  propertyi 
encouraging  every  manly  sport,  eodea- 
vouring,  in  all  poftsihle  ways,  to  increasa

at cached  father. 


of  August  was  appointed  Mi^ior  of  bri- 
gade to  that  under  the  command  of 
MaJor^Gen.  R.  Stewart,  with  which  he 
was  engaged  in  tl)e  battle  of  Busaco, 
the  aflfair  of  Pombal,  the  siege  of  Bada- 
jos,  and  the  battle  of  Albuera.  On  this 
last  oi*casion,  Major-Gen.  Hoghton,  who 
bad  succeeded  to  the  command  of  the 
brigade  on  ibe  death  of  Major-Gen. 
Stewart,  was  slain  ;  and  in  consequence 
of  tbft  great  fatality  the  brigade  in  gene- 
ral had  experienced,  it  was  broken  up. 
Major  Taylor  was  then  ordered  to  a 
brigade  in  the  fifth  division  of  the  army, 
under  Major-Gen.  Hsy,  with  which  be 
was  present  at  the  action  of  Foente 
Guinaldo,  the  siege  of  Ciudad  Rodrigo, 
the  storming  of  Badajos,  tlie  battles  of 
Salamanca  and  Viitoria,  the  siege  of  St. 
Sebastian,  and  various  other  fatiguing 
services  of  that  campaif^n.  He  was 
twice  notieed  in  Lord  Lvnedocb*s  dis- 
patches,  at.d  in  consequence  obtained 
the  brevet  of  Major.  He  returned  to 
England  on  account  of  sickness  in  De- 
cember 1813;  and  after  having  lan- 
guished under  fever  and  ngixe,  at  length 
r^oined  his  regiment  in  Ireland  in  the 
latter  end  of  1814.  In  March  1817  he 
embarked  wiih  ii  for  New  South  Wales,

Major  Keatikge,  C.B. 

Lately,  In  Ireland,  Major  M.  D.  Kea- 
tinge,  C.B.,  of  the  Bengal  establishment. 

This  gentleman  entered  the  service  as 
£usign  in  1796;  and  early  in  1797, 
marched  from  Madras  to  Hydrabad, 
where  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of 
Lieuti'i»ant  in  the  10th  Native  Infantry. 
In  1800,  he  returned  with  the  lOth  regi- 
ment to  Bengal  ;  and  being  removed  to 
the  17th  Native  Infantry,  was  appointed 
Adjutant  to  that  corps,  and  Joined  the 
army  under  Lord  Lake,  in  the  iVJahratta 
campaign  of  1803.  In  October  1804, 
bein<^  Brigade-Major  at  Delhi,  under  the 
late  gallant  Major-General  (thnn  Colonel) 
Sir  David  Ochterlony,  he  served  as  prin- 
cipal Staff  and  Engineer,  when  the  capi- 
tal was  besieged  by  Holkar^s  army,  con- 
sisting of  12.000  infantry,  2000  cavalry, 
and  I. SO  pieces  of  artillery,  and  success- 
fully defended  it  by  180  men,  and  twelve 
pieces  of  ordnance :  upon  which  occasion 
be  received  the  particular  thanks  of  Col. 
Burn,  the  senior  officer  in  the  garri- 
son. 

In  the  years  1805,  1806.  Major  K«*ar

Rbv.  Stephen  Weston,  F.ILS.  &  F.SJIu 

Jan.  8.  At  bis  bouse  in  Edward-strtot, 
Portman-square»  aged  82,  the  Rev.  Ste- 
phen Weston,  B.D.  F.ILS.  F3JL  M.A.Sb 

This  elegant  scholar  was  born  at  Ear 
eter  in  1747,  the  eldest  son  of  Stephen 
Weston,  Registrar  of  that  Diocese^  and 
grandson  of  Stephen  Weston,  Bishop  of 
Exeter,  from  1724  to  1743.  The  Bishop 
was  a  man  of  eminent  learning  and  cha- 
racter; his  history  is  elegantly  told  on 
the  monument  erected  to  his  memory  in 
Exeter  cathedral,  and  must  be  read  io 
its  own  correct  and  chaste  language. 

Stephen  Weston,  whose  death  we  now 
record,  was  educated  at  Eton,  and  from 
thence  went  to  Exeter  College,  Oxford, 
where  he  obtained  a  Fellowship.  Ue 
accompanied  Sir  Charles  Warwick  Basn- 
fylde,  B^rt.,  as  his  tutor  in  an  exttn- 
sive  tour  on  the  Continent,  and  nevar 
lost  that  taste  for  foreign  society  which 
he  thus  early  imbibed.  Mr.  Weston  also 
formed  an  early  friendship  with  the  lata 
Earl  uf  Lisburne,  who  was  rijoicod  to 
ensure  the  society  of  his  friend,  Iqr  con- 
ferring on  him,  in  1777,  the  living  of 
Mamhead,  in  which  parish  his  lord«bip's 
magnificent  seat  was  situate.  Of  tbt 
unrivalled  beauties  of  that  truly  noble 
place,  to  all  who  have  visited  that  part 
uf  Devonshire,  it  will  be  needless  Io 
speak  I  and  those  who  intimately  knew 
Mr.  Weston,  can  appreciate  the  mutual 
enjoyment  which  such  a  connection  mast 
have  conferred. 

In   17B4   Mr.   Weston    married  Miss

Mr.  Belsham  had  for  some  years  entirely 
resigned  his  roiobterial  fuoctiona. 

Rev.  Issac  Taylor. 
Dec.  1 1 .  Suddenly,  the  Rev.  Isaac  Tay- 
lor, of  Oogar  in  Essex,  for  mauy  -yeara 
Minister  of  the  dissenting  conercgation  in 
that  town,  and  author  of  several  highly  use- 
ful juvenile  works. 

Mr.  Taylor  wm  brought  up  to  the  ait 
of  engraving.     His  engagements  as  an  artist 
being  such  as  allowed  him  to  reside  at  a 
distance  from  London,  he  left  the  metrcmolia 
in  1786,  and  gladly  availed  himself  of  the 
liberty  of  choosing  an  abode  where  the  same 
means    would    procure    for    an   increasing 
family  a   larger  amount  uf  comfort.      He 
fixed  his  alwde  at  Lavenham  in  Suffolk, 
where  he  remained  until   1799,  when,  in 
compliance  with  the  wislies  of  a  dissenting 
congregation  at  Colcliester  he  removed  to 
that  town,  in  order  to  assume  the  pastoral 
care  of  the  society  assembling  in  the  roeet- 
ing-house  in  Bucklersbury-lane.  Thu  charge 
he  retained  until  the  close  of   1810,  and 
then  resigned ;  but  about  the  same  time  in 
the  following  year  accepted  the  invitation  of 
the  dissenting  congregation  at  Ongar,'  to 
become  their  pastor. 

In  the  line  of  hts  original  profession, 
Mr.  Taylor  produced  a  set  of  prints  to  illus- 
trate the  Bible,  from  designs  by  his  son ; 
in    his  ministerial    capacity  he    published 
**  The  Glory  of  Zion,  a  Sermcm,  preached 
at    the    Baptist   Western  Association,   in 
Gloucester,  1808,"  8vo.  and,  of  hie  very 
excellent  juvenile  works,  the  fidlowiof  were 
the  principal  :    «  Self  Cultivation  recom- 
mended ;    or,    hinu    to   a    youth  leaving 
school."     **  The  Child's  Birthday,  aimug 
to  state  the  nature  and  importance  of  that 
season."     <*  Twelve  Addresses  to  a  School, 
with  an  original  Hymn  to  each."     **  Scenes 
in  Europe,  for  the  amusement  and  instme- 
tion  of  little  tarry-at-home  travellers."    Of 
this  charming  work  an  impression  of  3000 
copies  was  disposed  of  in  about  nine  months 
afbsr  its  first  publidstion  in  1818,  and  sever 
ral  editions  have  since  been  aoLd;   it  was 
followed  by  **  Scenes  in  Asia,"  <*  Scenes  in 
Africa,"  **  Scenes  in  America,"  «  Scenes  in 
England."  and  <<  Scenes  of  Brit'ish  Wealth, 
in  iiroduce,  manufactures,  and  commerce*" 
all  likewise  **  for  the  instruction  and  amuse* 
roent   of  little    tarry-at-home   traveUers."

the  India  method  of  Ptoture-wricing,  nearly 
fiflty  years  ago,  in  conseonenct  of  a  memoir 
on  the  subject  then  latay  oommnnlcated  to

An  old  Subscriber  remarks,  "  the  claim 
of  the  late  amiable  Mr.  FittGerald  (see  p. 
481). to  be  'representative'  of  the  Des- 
mond fkmily,  would  not,  I  apprehend,  be 
acquiesced  in  by  the  IrlsH  Heralds ;  but, 
even  if  that  claim  could  have  beei^  substan- 
tiated, his  boast  of  the  Duke  of  Leinster's 
being  of  his  fitiuily  would  be  yet  unfounded. 
Your  readers  will  see  In  Sir  William  Be- 
tham*s  *  Antiquarian  Researches,'  tliat  the 
Earls  of  Desmond  wereof  a  junior  branch  of 
the.  .Earls  of  Kildare,  progenitors  of  the 
Ducal  house  uf  Leinster. ' 

S.  R.  inquires,  **  What  was  the  practical 
result  of  Sir  Samuel  Garth's  successful  sati- 
rical poem,  entitled,  <  The  Dispensary  ?  ' 
Was.  II  Dispensary  founded,  as  proposed  by 
the  College  of  Physicians  ?  or  any  other  ar- 
rangement made,  productive  of  public  be* 
a^t?" 

G.  S.  has  been  misled  by  a  statement  in 
Debrett's  Peerage,  which  states  Louisa, 
daqghter  of  Augustus  4t]i  Earl  of  Berkeley, 
to  have  been  the  wife  of  the  lato  Sir  Eliab 
Harvey.  He  will  find,  on  further  inquiry, 
that  the  Earl's  three  daughters,  «  Ladies 
Louisa,  Elixabeth,  and  dances,  were  all 
three  bora  on  the  same  day,  July  98th, 
1749)  and  lived  to  be  chrisieoed,  but  died 
■OOP. after"  (Collins's  Peerage^  by  Brydges, 
vol.  iii.  p.  62 5).  Lady  Louisa  Harvey  was, 
however,  a  half-sister  of  the  Infant  with 
whom  she  has  been  confounded,  being  a' 
daughter  of  the  same  mother  (Elizabeth, 
daughter  of  Henry  DnXt  esq.)  who,  after 
the  Earl  of  Berkeley's  death,  became  the 
ihifA  wife  of  Robert  Earl  Nugent,  and  by 
him  mother  of  rbe  late  Marchioneu  of 
pa^inghMm  (MdBaroocia  Nugent),  and  of 
'JMf  ta^Om  Nvgmait  mirried  (m  wc  eot- 


rectly  stated)  to  Sir  Eliab  Harvey,  and  atilT 
surviving.— •Relative  to  another  of  the  aamo 
Earl  of  Berkeley's  daughters,  the  late  Mar- 
gravine of  Anspach,  Debrett  has  two  incor- 
rect dates.  She  was  married  to  the  Mar- 
grave, Oct.  80,  not  18,  1791 ;  and  he  died 
not  Dec.  1805;  but  Jan.  6,  1806.  Her 
Highnats  died  Jan.  81,  1898.  In  tho  aama 
page  (and  again  in  p^879),  we  should  for 
Cuirlborough  read  Coarborough.  Debrett'a 
Peerage  still  requires  a  great  dieal  of  piirgiag.

raiarlB,  **  Tn  my  TeCter,  p\  $94,  respecting 
the  Tierney  family,  there  is  a  small  error  : 
instead  of  '  Mr,  Tleraey  generally  reaidedj' 
it  %ln>uld  have  been  Mrs,  (viz.  Thomas) 
Tieruey,  &c.  And  it  might  have  been 
added,  <  that  their  children  were  brought 
up  and  educated  in  England,'  whence  it 
may  bo  inferred,  that  it  was  not  convenient 
for  the  father  to  come  to  this  country. 
Was  Miss  Tierney,  who  married  the  Rev. 
Stephen  Weston  (p.  870],  a  relation  of  the 
fiunily  above  mentioned?"

Classical  Mbmosanda.— 77i«  Greek  of  Si.  Luke.       [May, 


diction  or  generally  of  syntax,  few 
perhaps,  if  any,  adrocates  now  remain. 
As  far  as  English  scholars  are  con- 
cerned, our  own  counlryinan,  the  ex- 
cellent Thomas  Gataker,  may  be  con- 
sidered as  havinj^  contribuied  his  share 
to  set  that  question  at  rest :  in  his 
reply  to  the  Diatribe  of  Pfochenius 
(ie  Lingua  Grtrcte  Novi  Tesfamenti 
puriiatej,  under  the  title  of  Thomce 
Gatakeri  Londinalit,  de  Novi  Inthru* 
menii  stylo  Distertaiio.  ]  648. 

It  by  no  means  follows,  however, 
that  the  Greek  of  the  New  Testament, 
though  marked  with  petty  solecisms,  is 
at  all  deficient  in  the  subsuntial  dis« 
tinctions  of  grammar:  very  far  other- 
wise. Several  apparent  cases  of  im- 
propriety exist  only  in  the  inaccuracies 
of  version  ;  such  as  even  our  own 
beautiful  and  venerated  translation  oc- 
casionally presents.  A  few  instances 
of  this  Kind  shall  be  noticed,  where 
errors  of  some  importance  might  be 
attached  to  words  erroneously  trans- 
lated. 

With  this  view,  let  us  take  up  and 
compare  the  gospels  of  St.  Matthew, 
IV.  18-28.  and  of  St.  Luke,  v.  2-11. 

It  is  perfectly  clear,  that  there  were 
two  fishing  boats,  and  two  sets  of  part- 
ners :  xUtJirst  boat  belonged  to  Simon 
Peter  and  Andrew  ;  the  second  to 
James  and  John  the  sons  of  Zebedee. 

Now,  for  iUt  first  boat,  it  is  obvious 
that  when  our  Lord  addressed  himself 
(Luke,  V.  3.)  to  Simon,  praying  him 
to  thrust  out  a  little  from  the  land, 
Simon  and  Andrew  were  at  once  ready 
for  the  purpose  which  our  Lord  had  in 
view  :  for  without  further  preparation, 
when  he  had  done  teaching  the  people 
oot  of  the  boat,  the  two  fisnermen  im- 
mediately launched  out  into  the  deep, 
and  took  the  "  great  multitude  of 
fishes"  there  recorded. 

The  context  then  plainly  requires 
what  the  verb  itself  (v.  3.)  most  dis- 
tinctly expresses:  not,  they  "were 
loashtng  their  nets,*'  but  they  had 
wdshea  (or  cleansed)  them.  And  in 
the  Greek  9f  St.  Luke,  it  may  be  as- 
serted, without  fear  of  contradiction, 
tenses  like  arlvXinaf  and  ax-iTAvyoy 
by  no  possible  chance  can,  without 
gross  confusion  of  ideas,  ever  be  sub- 
stituted the  one  for  the  other. 

Let  us  now  pass  on  to  v.  6 :  "  and 

their  net  brake.*'    Their  net  no  more 

acluatty  brake,  than  their  boat  actually 

^nkr     And  It  is  quite  extraordinary 

(hat  our  Translators  went  wrong  in 


ht(}4*ynfrOf  when  at  v.  7.  they  have 
expressed  so  very  correctly  the  signifi- 
cation of  fiv9i^ur9eu^  "  began  to  sink." 
The  plain  fact  is,  that  the  net  seemed 
in  danger  qf  breaking,  as  well  it  might, 
but  never  brake  at  all.  If  the  net  had 
broken,  and  the  boau  had  sunk,  the 
two  verbs  to  denote  that  precisely 
would  have  been  iufpay^  for  the  one, 
.  and  ifivQiO'Qfi  for  the  other. 

Under  all  the  circumstances  of  the 
case  then,  it  must  be  very  clear,  that 
if  the  Uvo  sons  of  Zebedee  (Matt.  ir. 
21.)  were  «'  mending  their  neu,"  they 
were  mending  nets. -at  any  rate  whic^ 
belonjB;ed  to  their  own,  the  second  boat 
mentioned  ;  inasmuch  as  the  nets 
which  belonged  to  ihtjrst  boat  had 
never  been  broken.  And  Mr.  Blunt, 
if  he  meets  with  this  suggestion,  will 
accept  it  in  the  spirit  ofcandoor  in 
which  it  is  offered.  Perhaps  he  will 
see  sufficient  ground  for  withdrawing 
at  once  an  ingenious  but  unnecesury 
argument,  lately  proposed  in  bis  Fero^ 
city  of  the  Gospels  and  Ads. 

In  the  Greek  of  St.  Luke  this  cor* 
rectness  of  expression  uniformly  ap-i 
pears,  sometimes  in  a  very  striking 
manner.  Thus  in  the  verb  Iropn/o/Ant; 
for  instance:  Jesus,  we  are  told  (vii. 
II.)  was  going  (not  "  went")  iroptvno, 
''  into  a  city  called  Nain."  Why 
EToprvfTo  f  Because  it  was  out  of  the 
city,  and  before  he  had  entered  it,  that 
he  restored  the  widow's  son  to  life 
again.  The  same  distinction  holds  in 
the  correspondent  phrase  (xvii.  II.): 
If  T»  vopiviv^at  ceJroir  it;  'itfwattkriu, 
as  he  was  journeying,  in  the  course  qf 
his  journey,  to  Jerusalem. 

In  connection  with  this  renurk,  we 
may  observe,  that  Mr.  Benson  (Ckro^ 
nology  qf  our  Saviour^s  Life,  p.  918. 
note,)  singularly  enough,  with  ly  Tf 
wopfwiaOcw  auTowf,  X.  38.  before  him, 
should  confound  tenses  quite  different, 
and  consider  the  authorised  version  at.

rendered,  he  says,  "whilst  all  the 
people  were  baptisins,  or  being  bap- 
tised." Most  assuredly  not.  After  alk, 
the  people  had  been  baptised,  will  ade- 
quately and  unequivocally  convey  the 
notion  of  the  Greek.  This  is  not  sald- 
with  the  least  idea  of  disparaging  the 
merits  of  the  work  above  alluded  to,

occurred  in  ihe  itibI  of  England,  at  a 
meeting  convened  In  a  conntry  parish, 
in  order  lo  establish  a  Bible  Aisocia-

r'levj  with  ihe  resptciable  Curate  of 
that  pamh,  who  resisted  ihe  (ibjecl  of 
(he  meeling,  and  who  feels  aggrieved 
by  ihe  represenialion  aboTe  rtf erred

fVilloiviiig  la  a  more  -orrect  slutement

full  jusiice  ihould  be  done  lo  all  par-

ferred 10. 

No  previous  posliise  inrormation  of 
tile  meeting  vrai  given  to  ihe  Clergy- 
man, until  ihe  morning  of  [he  day  on 
which  it  wai  held ;  when  inf'xmed  of 
it,  although  he  gave  the  informonl  no 
mson  lu  expect  ihat  he  should  aiiend,

thought  it  h'u  duty  to  be  proem.  He 
came  lo  ilie  meeting  alone,  without 
previoui  conceri  with  any  one,  and 
ilaled  openly,  that  as  a  member  of  the

and  not  hMing  the  tanclion  of  ihe  Bi- 
shop oF  the  diocese  for  holding  the  in- 
tended meeting,  he  felt  himself  callrf 
Upon  to  oppose  the  establishment  of 
such  an  association  ;  adding,  more- 
over, lhat  if  the  poor  would  collect 
their  pence  together  in  the  manner 
proposed,  they  should  be  tup  plied 
with  the  Holy  Scriptures  by  hini  at 
lower  prices  than  those  charged  by  the 
British  and  Foreign  Bible  SocietVi 
and  that  the  most  indigent  should  Qe 
furnithed  with  them  graiullously.  He 
itnmedialely  afterwards  purchaaed  a 
number  of  Bibles  and  Prayer  Bool: s, 
and  took  measures  for  the  full  petform- 
ancc  of  his  promise. 

In  this  conduct  il  is  evident  that 
there  was  no  want  of  candour,  but  ihat 
the  conduct  pursued  by  the  Clergyman 
of  ihe  parish,  however  much  it  may  be 
lamenled  by  ihe  friends  of  Ihe  Brniilr 
and  Foreign  Bible  Socieiv,  was  straight- 
forward, open,  and  manly,  and  as  such 
it  was  acknowledged  by  ihe  agent  of 
that  Swriely,  who  was  present. 

Havinij  thus,  at  ihe  re[|uesl  of  ttier' 
parly  principally  concemetf  in'  one 
case,  grvcn  piibliciiy  lo  ihe  ilnlement 
made  by  himself,  candour  requires  the 
same  course  to  be  pursued  in  another 

A  Clernyman  of  highly  respeciatle 
family,  who  conceives  himself  impli- 
cated in  ihc  charge  of  havinf*  allenited' 
q'  wresllinp  match,  posltiveljr  asscrls 
lhat  his  being  present  on  thai  occa- 
sion was  cnlirelg  accidrnlal,  and  only 
in  consequence  of  some  business  which 
he  had  wiih  a  genlleman  of  the  neigh- 
bourhood, who  could  not  nt  that  time 
be  met  wllh  elsewhere;  iha)  he  held 
no  communication  with  any  of  his  pa- 
rishioners respecting  il,  nor  saw  any  of 
ihem  there;  and  that,  so  far  from  de- 
siring (o  conulenance  scenes  of  lieen- 
liousnecs,  he  diiconra^  them  on  alf 
occasions  which  he  thinks  suitable, 
and  often  preaches  apinit  ihem. 

Alihough  the  writer  of  this  feels 
bound  lo  say  lhat  he  decidedly  ihiriks 
there  was  not,  on  ihe  occasion  alluded 
lo,  a  sufficient  attention  to  ihe  com- 
mand to  "  abstain  from  bH  ajipearaoce 
of  evil,"  yet  on  such  Holhotitf  he  wil- 
lingly expresses  his  conviction  of  ihe 
ttufli  of  Ihe  extenuation,  and  readily 
adds  that,  as  far  at  his  petional  knoW- 
!*dge  cKteods,  ihe  Clergyman  in  que*-

THE  interpretation  which  Mr*  Mad<* 
den  has  given  of  the  inscription 
on  the  Evesham  seal  is  eqnally  inge- 
nious and  satisfactory;  but  I  doubt 
whether  he  has  been  equally  fortunate 
in  his  restoration  of  the  inscription  on 
the  seal  engraved  in  the  Gentleoun's 
*  Magazine  tor  December  1826. 

I  have  four  charters,  to  each  of 
which  is  appended  a  seal  bearing  a  de- 
vice similar  to  that  on  the  one  wnich  is 
engraved,  a  squirrel  in  the  act  of  crack- 
ing a  out  I  and  the  inscription  round 
the  figure  is  not  i  cbavb  notis,  but, 
too  plainly  to  be  mistaken,  i  crakb 

NOTIS. 

The  impressions  are  of  different 
types,  though  the  figure  and  the  in- 
scription are  in  all  the  same.  They  are. 
also  appended  to  charters  all  executed 
at  the  same  place,  Wolvelay,  now 
Wolley,  a  villaae  a  few  miles  south  of 
Wakefield.  The  earliest  was  dated  at 
Pentecost,  1304:  the  others  in  1352, 
1358,  and  1378.  Each  deed  was  from 
a  different  party.

Mr.  Urban,  Bath,  May  1. 

THE  accuracy  of  pedigrees  is  an 
afifair  of  so  much  importance  to 
families,  that  I  am  induced  to  notice  a 
promise  made  by  Mr.  Blore,  the  histo- 
rian of  Rutlandshire,  in  p.  230  of  that 
work,  to  sive  an  account  of  the  evi- 
dences andreasons  of  his  rejecting  the 
authority  of  Dugdale,  in  the  Monasti- 
con,  vol.  ii.  p.  222,  O.  £.  as  to  that 
part  of  the  pedigree  of  Mortimer  which 
relates  to  the  descent  of  Hugh  son  of 
lioger  de  Mortimer,  Baron  of  Wig- 
more,  who  died  in  1215  (17  John), 
which  Hugh  is  by  Mr.  Blore  con- 
sidered as  the  son  of  Roger  by  his  se- 
cond wife,  and  Ralph  (who,  according 
to  the  Mooasticoo,  succeeded  to  the 
Barony  on  the  decease  of  this  Hugh, 
his  half  brother)  to  have  been  the  son 
hv  the  former  wife:   so  that  if  Mr. 
Afore  be  correct,  and  Dugdale  in  an 
€nor,  Hugh  de  Mortimer  dying  m- 
1«7   was   not    Baron   of  WVgmoTC. 


Perceiving,  however,  that  the  learned 
and  attentive  editors  of  the  new  edition 
of  the  Monasticon  have  not  adopted 
the  emendation  of  the  Historian  of 
Rutlandshire,  but  continue  the  former 
account  in  their  6ih  vol.  p.  351,  as  in 
the  old  edition,  and  that  the  promised 
evidences,  which  were  to  be  given 
under  Okeham,  do  not,  so  far  as  I 
have  seen,  appear,  it  will  be  a  great 
favour,  if  any  genealogical  correspon- 
dent will  afford  the  benefit  of  such  in- 
formation as  may  elucidate  this  sub- 
ject through  the  channel  of  your  Maga- 
zine, to  Observer. 

Mr.  Urban,  3fay  10. 

A  GREAT  deal  is  said,  and  justly, 
at  this  time,  respecting  the  dis- 
proportion of  emoluments  in  tneChurch 
establishment.  May  I  be  permitted  to 
suggest  one  plain  and  simple  mode. of 
improvement,  to  which  no  reasonable 
objection  can  be  urged. 

By  5th  Queen    Anne,   c.  24,  the 
bishops  of  every  diocese  are  required  to 
inform  themselves,  by  the  oaths  of  wit- 
neaseSfOf  the  clear  improved  yearly  value 
of  every  benefice  with  cure  oT  souls 
within  their  respective  jurisdictions, 
which  does  not  exceed  50/.  per  ann., 
and  to  certify  the  same  into  the  Exche- 
quer, in  order  that  such  benefices  ma^ 
be  discharged  from  the  payment  of  the 
first  fruits  and   tenths,   and    that   all 
above  thai  value  should,  by  iheir  Jini 
Jruiis  and  tenths,  contribute    to   the 
augmentation  of   the    former.      The 
Governors  of  the  Royal  Bounty  have 
proceeded  in  the  regular  course  of  aug- 
mentation since  the  year  1714,  on  the 
valuation  of  all   ecclesiastical   prefer- 
ment then  made,  but  it  is  computed 
that  300  years  will  elapse  before  all  the 
livings  already  certified  as  under  50/. 
per  anqum,    will,    under  the  present 
system,  be  augmented  to  that  sum.     If 
the  present  improved  value  of  all  eccle- 
siastical property,  to  which  no  cure  of 
souls  is  annexed^  should  be  ascertained 
(which  would  be  easily  effected),  and 
their  first  fruits  and  tenths  applied  to 
the  augmentation  of  small  benefices,  in 
the  course  of  twenty  years,  or  less,  each 
benefice  would  be  rendered  sufficient 
for  the  residence  uf  a  beneficed  clergy- 
man.    Nothing  can  be  more  equitable' 
than  that  every  ecclesiastical   prefer- 
ment which  has  not  the  cure  of^soufs, 
should  contribute  the  actual  value  of 
its  first  fruits  and  tenths  to  the  aog- 
icvtik\aX\ou  o^  \aie\xe&ces  which  have  the 
cu\to^%w\v  "T*"^.  B,

their  plaids  for  shelter,  which,  on  such

interval  forming  a  sort  of  bay — is  the 
small  but  neat  town,  directly  on  the 
water's  edge.  More  to  the  right,  is 
the  Castle  of  the  Duke  of  Argyll,  a 
magnificent  Gothic  pile,  very  finely 
situated,  and  surrounded  by  most  ex- 
tensive woods.  Still  further,  is  a  loftv 
and  picturesque  hill,  also  clothed  witn 
wood.  On  its  summit  is  a  watch- 
tower,  commanding  a  very  extensive 
prospect  over  the  Loch,  and  the  ad- 
joinmg  country.  In  the  fore-ground, 
and  close  to  the  road,  are  the  lodges,  of 
oorresponding  Gothic.  In  the  Loch 
fish  are  very  abundant. 

Inverary  consists  principally  of  one 
street,  which  is  neat,  clean,  and  spa- 
cious, and  adorned  by  a  handsome 
church.  The  Castle  is  placed  in  a 
noble  park,  ornamented  by  numerous 
aiKl  very  fine  trees;  birch,  oak,  and 
lime.  It  commands  a  fine  view  of  the 
town,  the  Loch,  and  its  vessels ;  and 
the  small  but  rapid  river  Aray  runs 
through  the  domain.  It  is  a  Gothic 
edifice,  of  a  noble  though  modern  ap- 
pearance, but  disfigures  by  a  sort  of 
square  pavilion,  by  which  it  is  sur- 
mounted. The  hall  is  elegant  and 
loAy»  lighted  by  the  paviUon  just 
named ;  the  principal  rooms  aoing  off 
from  a  gallery  running  rouna  it,  and 
oniamented  with  several  busts,  amongst 
Mrhich  were  those  of  their  late  Majesties. 
Belovf,  it  has  a  very  military,  though 


not  venerable,  appearance.  It  ia  need 
aa  a  sort  of  armoury,  and  hung  witb 
the  muskets,  colours,  and  other  ao» 
couirement^  of  the  Local  Militii^ 
These,  kept  in  admirable  order,  and 
tastefully  arranged,  have  a  very  pleaaii^ 
effect ;  yet  I  had  expected  to  nave  seen 
something  moie  o/the  rude  and  un* 
couth  tapest^  of  the  hall  of  a  Highr 
land  chiefUin : 


"  A  target  there,  a  hwle  haie, 
A  battls'^iM,  a  hoBttBg^-fpear." 

But  here  there  was  no  such  thing ;  and 
the  effect  appeared  to  me  to  be  good, 
without  being  sufficiently  characteri- 
istic.  The  dining  and  drawing-rooms 
both  command  beautiful  views*  are 
extremely  elesant,  and  of  excelfent 
proportions.  They  are  ornamented  by 
some  good  portraits,  aod  a  few  paint- 
ings done  by  members  of  the  ftmily. 
There  is  an  excellent  billiard-room; 
and  our  conductress  informed  us,  that 
they  could  make  up  seventy-five  beds. 
We  were  preventea  by  rain  from  as- 
cending the  Mount. 

We  now  proceeded  through  the 
park,  and  by  the  banks  of  the  river, 
which  shoots  along  merrily,  and  pre- 
sents many  falls.  At  length,  wearrnrcd 
at  one  very  superior  to  the  rest,  and 
which  was  very  noble.  On  its  banks 
is  erected  a  building,  from  which  it 
may  be  contemplated  at  leisure.  Soon 
afterwards  we  came  to  the  public  road, 
which  was  rough,  steep,  aod  very  high- 
land, as  well  as  the  scenery  aroond  it. 

We  had  not  travelled  on  it  far  before 
we  arrived  at  another  Fall,  on  therightt 
which  struck  me  as  being  pecaliarly 
beautiful.  It  was  surmounted  by  a 
rustic  bridge;  on  looking  down  from 
which  it  was  particularly  pleasing,  the 
principal  volume  of  water  naving,  froot 
the  reflection  of  the  sun,  the  exad 
appearance  of  liquid  amber,  rolling 
brilliantly  into  the  pool  below.  Here 
we  were  both  amused  by  the  unavailing 
efforts  of  a  fine-sized  trout  to  surmounl 
the  Fall.  Great  was  his  ambition  s  bnl 
it  was  attended  by  the  usual  cooofr- 
quences^* vexation  and  defeat ;  and  he 
was  obliged  to  be  content  with  Urn 
more  humble  part  of  the  stream. 

Near  a  village— of  more  decent- 
looking  huts  than  common-^we  ga- 
thered some  wild  raspberries,  of  to- 
lerable flavour,  and  observed  .  several 
beautiful  planU.  We  passed  the  kirk, 
a  substantial  barn^Iooking  building, 
with  little  sash-windows;  and,  afler

commissary,  under  Loid  Wellington, 
and  doing  very  well;  and  that  he  had 
jiist  lent  for  another  of  the  frBletnily. 
These  people  had  been  fimou*  for  ihc 
intDDfacliue  of  the  true  Highland  dirk, 
a  couple  of  which  we  wished  very 
much  lu  have  procurrd,  and  would 
have  tititcd  the  armoury  for  that  pui- 
pOK,  only  that  our  friends  informed 
ut  our  journey  would  be  useleis.  We 
wete  jiot  to  lottunale  as  Pennant,  to 
(ind  even  one  of  them  in  the  shambles  j 

"  A  wrticeablft  dudgwin, 

Eilber  for  figliling  or  for  drudgipg." 

The  property  at  Dalmally  is  chiefly 
Lord  Breadalbanc'a ;  and  heie  he  lias 
a  c.isile,  which,  I  believe,  he  sometimet 
tnaket  use  of  as  a  hunting-seat.  Wc 
had  not  proceeded  far  on  our  nay, 
before  we  encuuntered  his  lordship's 
gamekeeper,  of  a  truly  Ossianic  ap- 
pearance. He  informed  us  that  the  lish 
and  game  were  v«ry  plentiful,  and  very 
strictly  preserved. 

We  were  now  on  the  banks  of  Loch 
Awe,  acrosn  which  wns  arched  a  itill

appuranee   is  truly   m^niliccni,  and

the  traveller. 

The  streams   from   the   hills  were 

again  nuroetous,  and  greatly  swollen 

by  the  raini.    Gradually  they  increased 

in  number  and  in  depth,  and  were  lo 

extremely  rapid   in   iheir  course,  that 

I        WD  were  afraid  lo  venture  into  them, 

j,       leit  we  should  he  precipitated  into  tlie 

I        Loch    below.     Wc   had    iherefore   lo 


trace  ibeir  eourse  upwards,  amongM 
drippW  bailes  and  mailed  gran,  tilt 
the  Fall  became  of  a  breadth  which  wc 
ibought  we  ciiuld  leap  over.  Fre- 
(juentlf  no  such  >  resource  prewnted 
itself,  and  wc  were  obliged  lo  divide 
Ibo  leap  by  alighting  on  any  loonc 
piece  of  rock  nhich  might  be  in  the 
middleof ihestream.  These Aar/^^i»- 
adei  were  not  without  hazard ;  for  in 
case  either  of  one  foot  or  ihe  stone 
slipping,  we  should  inevitably  have 
been  carried  a  very  eensiderable  way 
by  the  torrent,  and  the  least  of  our 
misfonunes  would  have  been  a  com- 
plcle  ducking. 

In  the  midst  of  all  our  distresses,  it 
was  still  curioua  to  obaerve  the  loricnti 
foaming  from  the  sunimils  of  the 
inounlaias  which  tuiroundtd  os,  at  a 
Iremendoue  belghi,  and  which  we 
were  soon  to  cross  in  Ihe  road.  Tliejr 
appeared  to  hang  suspended  over  our 
heads,  while  we  teeoied  to  inlcrpose 
between  them  and  the  Loch  only  lo 
be  swept  away  by  their  violence. 

We  now  arrived  at  a  really  splendid 
Fall,  on  our  right,  which,  in  a  less 
Alpine  country,  would  have  been  vi- 
■ited  as  a  great  curiosity.  Over  this, 
of  neceMity,  is  thrown  a  neat  and  cub- 
stantial  bridge,  on  which  we  rested,  a 
short  lime,  to  survey  the  scenery  around 
us,  which  was  highland  in  the  ex- 
treme. At  no  great  distance  from  this, 
the  rocks  by  the  side  of  the  Loch  as- 
sume a  very  singular  and  gloomy  ap- 
pearance; ihelxich  suddenly  narrows, 
and  the  stream  flows  with  the  greatest 
rapidity  inio  Loch  EtivG.  On  the  op- 
posite bank,  in  a  somewhat  perilous 
situation,  stood  an  angler,  well  de- 
fended against  ihe  (am,  and  who, 
waving  his  wand,  appeared  not  unhke 
the  Genius  of  the  Country.  Certainly 
he  must  have  been  a  true  sportsman, 
who  bad  wandered  soliiarily  in  such 
weather,  and  in  such  a  spot,  in  quest 
□f  otnusement. 

After  having  undergone  eonsiderabU 
fatigue,  ne  slepi  at  Bunaw,  where,  the 
follnwing  morning,  our  allention  was 
attracted  by  a  sort  of  triangular  stone, 
or  obelisk,  which  was  wiihin  sight  of 
our  inn.  Od  spnroachinB  i(,  we  read

LORD  NELSON

Family  of  Shippard,  tf  Suffolk. 


[May, 


After  contemplating  this  monument, 
to  honourable  to  the  Lorn  Furnace 
Workmen,we  recommenced  our  travels. 
To-day  we  first  found  our  e^jes  affected 
bj  the  peat^smoke,  but  not  in  a  degree 
tofficient  to  blind  us  to  the  beauties  of 
the  surrounding  scenery.  The  woods 
were  here  remarkably  fine  and  ex- 
tensive; the  mouniam-ash  in  all  its 
glory;  and  the  clouds  were  dispersed 
from  the  heavens.  We  now  saw  the 
•ummit  of  Ben  Anachan ;  and  the  dis- 
uot  hills  were  clad  io  their  most  beau- 
iiful  blue. 

The  shores  of  Loch  Ective,  by  which 
we  wandered,  appeared  enchanting. 
i^ear  to  Ounstaffnage  Castle,  a  pile  of 
venerable  and  picturesque  ruins,  the 
Loch  has  a  Fall  of  about  four  feet,  re- 
markable as  being  in  $aU  water.  We 
now  passed  some  spots  of  ground  to- 
lerably well  cultivated;  and  the  oats 
here,  almost  the  only  crop,  appeared 
very  promising.  The  approach  to  Oban 
is  very  striking ;  rough  and  rocky.  This 
place  we  reached  alraut  half-past  three, 
and  with  but  a  very  few  drops  of  rain, 
to  inconsiderable  as  not  to  give  us  the 
least  inconvenience.  The  walk  alto- 
oether  had  been  delightful ;  and  eveiy 
Highlander  we  met  observed  that,  "  it 
was  indeed  a  graii<i day.*'  Ushered  into 
a  large  and  well-furnished  room,  we 
thought  ourselves  once  more  amongst 
civilized  creatures,  and  fully  expected 
to  banq|uet  on  bread :  in  this  we  were 
disappointed;  but  in  every  other  re- 
spect fared  admirably.

interesting to  the  possessors  of  that 
scarce  and  valuable  work. 

The  Family  of  Sheppard  is  of  con- 
siderable antiquity,  and  was  originally 
seated  at  Mendlesham,  in  the  couniy 
of  Suffolk.  The  earliest  iioiice  of  iheni. 


which  I  meet  with  there,  is  an  in- 
scription on  a  loofe  stone  in  the  vettry, 
which  serves  as  a  support  to  the  church 
chest.    It  is  as  follows :

This  person  I  conclude  to  have  been 
John  sheppard,  who  resided  in  Men- 
dlesham, in  the  reigns  of  King  James 
and  Charles  1.  He  was  chief  constable 
of  the  hundred  of  Hartismere,  and 
married  Elizabeth,  the  daughter  of  John 
Lane,  of  Campsey  Ash,  gent,  by  Elisa- 
beth, the  daughter  of  Simon  Blomeville, 
of  Coddenham,  gent,  and  by  her  had 
issue  two  sons  and  a  daughter;  vis. 
Jokn,  of  whom  hereafter;  and  Edmund^ 
who  married  the  only  daughter  and 
heir  of  —  Uumbertton,  or  Baadsey, 
gent,  who  is  described  as  a  woman  of 
a  tender  conscience,  and  of  exemplary 
piety.  The  daughter  married  Barnabas 
Gihison,  of  Siooham  Parva,  gent.  The 
eldest  son,  John  Sheppard,  gent.jMir- 
chased,  about  the  year  lG62,  the  High 
House,  in  Ash  by  Campsey,  of  John 
Glover,  esq.  the  descendant  of  a  family 
which  had  been  long  seated  there ;  and, 
removing  thither,  made  it  hit  resi- 
dence. He  married  Bridget,  the  daugh- 
ter of  John  Sedley,  of  Morley,  in  the 
county  of  Norfollc,  esq.  by  whom  he 
had  issue  one  son  and  two  daughters ;

an  abler  hand.  I  can  relate  only  #hat  cktais

«  Sir  Samuel  and  Lady  Pryme  lived  m  diS 
hamlet  of  Whitton,  ia  a  BBaotion  which  may 
daim  the  epithet  of  superi>,  and  which  was 
built  by,  and  had  been  the  residence  of  SHi 
Godfrey  Kneller.  The  stafaosse  u  decorated 
by  his  own  pencil.  Hm  house  and  aronnds 
received  much  improvement  under  tne  hand 
of  the  sole  heir  to  hb  great  property,  the 
late  Samuel  Pryme,  esq.  whose  death,  at  a 
comparatively  early  age,  deprived  us  of  a 
kind  fnend,  whose  prudent  advice  had  often 
been  useful  to  us,  and  to  whose  public  sfnrit 
and  private  beneficence  the  parish  of  Twiek- 
enham  ssaod  hidebted  to  a  degree  that  wiR 
not  soon  be  forgotten.  Leaving  several 
children,  the  estate  hat  been  sold  out  of  the 
family. 

«  Though  Sir  Samuel  was  arach  too  awfal 
for  my  intimate  observation,  I  regret  that 
with  him  I  loit  an  embodied  idea  of,  I  sap- 
pose,  nearly  the  costume  of  Queen  Anne  s 
time :  he  wore  a  most  voluminous  wig* 
which  yet,  by  the  lightness  of  its  curb,  or  I 
might  almoit  say  ringleti,  seemed  no  heavier 
than  the  same  ousntity  of  smoke  :  it  was,  I 
suppose,  though  a  little  powdered,  of  the 
pslest  flasen  colour,  corresponding  with  hU 

dly  blooming  complexion  :  hb  whole  scab 


was  large,  but  without  anv  tendency  to  cor- 
pulency i  hb  age-grown  features  were  com- 
manding,  and  hb  voice  jprofaably  was  pitdied 
to  Westminster  Hall ;  it  was  extremelT  dis- 
tinct, grave,  and  sonorous ;  hb  ennnciation 
slow ;  and  he  began  every  sentence,  in  ad- 
dressing my  father,  with  a  '  Sir,'  as  pnrfbund 
as  if  he  had  addressed  the  House  of  Com- 
mons,  by  claiming  the  attenUon  of  their 
Speaker. 

**  Sir  Samuel's  dress,  I  may  truly  say,  I 
want  words  to  describe ;  for  I  rmiSj  know 
not  the  terms  that  will  describe  it.  Hb 
suit,  including  stockings,  1  rscoUaet  to  havS 
been  sll  of  one  hue  in  sunamcr,  aad  that  tks 
lightest  that  could  be  called  eoloor.  Ia 
winter  we  saw  him  less  frequently  ;  but  he 
was  then  dad  in  a  brown  that  might  be 
called  shu£F-co]onr.  He  had  been,  I  suppose, 
a  beau  of  hb  own  time ;  for  the  nicety  of 
the  dbposition  of  his  cravat  and  ruffles,  ths 
eaaetitode  with  which  his  stockings  preserved

stone,  and  consists  of  a  canopy  of  three 
arches,  with  crocketed  pfdiinents, 
)>arted  by  finials,  and  at  the  back  of 
each  pediment  three  niches,  of  which 
there  are  also  seven  in  front  of  the 
altar  tomb. 

Berthclet,  in  the  introduction  to  the 
edition  of  the  "  Confessio  A  mantis,'* 
1532,  gives  the  following  description 
of  the  three  burbarout  representations 
of  Charity,  Mercy,  and  Pity,  which 
are  now  nearly  obliterated,  but  which 
were  painted  against  the  wall  within 
the  three  upper  arches. 

''Beside  on  the  wall  where  he  lieth, 
there  be  peinted  three  virgJDt,  with  crownes 
on  their  headet,  one  of  tlie  wh'tche  is  written 
Charitie,  and  she  boldetb  this  deuise  in  her 
honde: 

£a  toy  qui  e«t  fitz  de  dieu  le  pere 
Sauve  soit  que  gist  sous  cest  piere. 
The   second   is   written  Mercie,   which 
holdeth  in  her  hand  this  diuise  : 
O  bon  Jesu  fitit  ta  mercie 
A  lalme  dont  le  corps  gist  icy. 
The  thyrde  of  them  is  written  Pitee, 
which  holdeth  in  hir  hands  this  diuise  fol- 
lowinge : 

Pour  la  Pile  Jesu  regarde, 

£t  met  cest  alme  en  sauve  garde.*' 

On  the  top  of  the  altar  tomb  is  the 
eflfigy  ofthe  poet,  his  head  rcclinin";on 
three  volumes,  inscribed  **  Specnlum 
Mediuntis,'*  •*  Vox  Clamantis,"  and 
*'  Confessio  A  mantis."  The  hair  falls 
in  a  large  curl  on  his  shoulders,  and  is 
crowned  with  a  chaplet  of  four  roses, 
with  the  words il^  mrrct  repeated  twice, 
each  word  being  divided  with  a  rose.*  A 
long  robe,  closely  buttoned  down  the 
front,  extends  from  the  neck  to  the  feet, 
which  are  entirely  covered.  A  collar 
of  SS,  from  which  is  suspended  a  small 
swan,  chained,  the  badge  of  Henry 
IV.f  hangs  from  his  neck ;  his  feet  rest 
upon  a  lion,  and  above,  within  a  panel 
ot  the  side  of  the  canopy,  a  shield  is 
suspended,  charged  with  his  arms,  Ar- 
gent, on  a  chevron  Azure  three  leopards' 
heads  Or.  Crest,  on  a  cap  of  main- 
tenance, a  talbot  passant.  Under  the 
figure  of  Mercy  are  these  lines : 


**  Armigeri  scutum  nihil  a  modo  fert  tibi 
tutum ;  [tam ; 

Reddidit  immolutum  morti  generate  tribu- 
SpLritus  erutum  se  gaudeat  esse  solatttai  ; 
Estubi  vinutumregoum  sine  labe  atatotaoB." 

On  the  ledge  of  the  tomb  was  aa 
inscription,  now  entirely  gone : 

*'  Hie  jacet  J.  Gower,  arm. 

Angl.  poeta  celeberrimus  ac 

Huic  sacro  edi6cio  benefac.  insignia 

Vixit  temporibui  £d.  III.  et  Ric.  II." 

Adjoining  to  the  monument  there 
hung  originally  a  table,  granting  1500 
days  of  pardon,  *'  ab  ecclesid  rii^  con- 
cessos,"  for  all  those  who  devoutly 
prayed  for  his  soul. 

According  to  a  MS.  of  Nicholas 
Charles,  I^ncaster  Herald,  the  arms  of 
Gower  formerly  stood  in  the  highest 
south  window  of  the  body  of  the 
Church,  near  the  roof. 

In  the  *'  Biographia  Britaniiica/*  it 
Is  said,  that  Agnes  the  poet's  wife  is 
buried  under  tne  same  tomb;  but  it 
does  not  appear  upon  what  authority. 

Mr.  Urban,  April  8. 

I  AM  happy  to  inform  "  Suthriensis" 
(Feb.  Mag.  p.  103).  and  such  other 
of  your  readers  who  take  any  interest 
in  the  preservation  of  St.  Saviour's 
Church,  that  the  repairs  of  the  transepts 
have  commenced  under  the  supenn- 
tendance,  as  I  am  informed,  of  Mr. 
Wallace  the  architect  The  scaffold 
was  only  raised  at  the  conclusion  of 
the  last  month,  since  which  time  the 
works  have  proceeded  with  great  ala- 
crity. The  roofs  of  both  transepts  have 
been  removed.  In  the  south  wing  a 
buttress  is  to  be  formed  on  the  east 
side,  in  lieu  of  one  which  had  been 
destroyed  to  admit  of  the  erection  of  St. 
Mary  Magdalene's  Chapel,  and  the 
walls,  a  medley  of  old  and  new  ash- 
laring,  patched  with  brick  work,  are 
to  be  faced  with  stone. 

The  question  of  repairing  or  rebuild- 
ing may  now  be  considered  as  set  at 
rest.  The  stand  was  made  at  the  pre- 
sent repairs,  which  the  vestry  having 


•  Leland,  de  Scriptoribus,  says,  it  is  of  ivy,  intermixed  with  roses.  This  assertioo, 
from  the  present  appearance  of  the  chaplet,  seems  altogether  fanciful. 

t  The  following  curious  notics  wu  first  published  by  Mr.  Nicolas,  from  a  record  in  the 
Duchy  of  Lancaster  Office  :  «  In  tbs  17  Ric.  II.  1S93-4,  Henry  of  Lancaster,  afterwards 
Henry  IV.  is  recorded  to  have  presented  <  un  esquier  John  Gower'  with  a  collar,  and  which 
there  can  be  little  doubt  was  bestowed  on  him  in  consequence  of  his  having  then  bccoma 
one  of  that  Prince's  retainers."  The  Poet  is  represented  with  this  collar  on  his  tomb ;  but 
Mr.  Nicolas  remarks,  "  as  the  Swan  is  believed  not  to  have  been  assumed  by  Henry  IV. 
until  after  the  demise  of  Thomas  of  Woodstock,  Duke  of  Gloucester,  in  1397,  the  Swsa 
jtiatt  hare  been  given  to  Gower  at  a  subsequent  period."

»pU,  if  a  new  church  was  likely  lo

never  lo  be  forgotien  alteration  of  the 
structure  by  Vvyatl.  Another  Chipel 
(the  Bishop's)  will  share  a  similar  faiei 
bill,  if  ever  such  a  mutilation  can  be 
excusable,  it  will  be  so  in  Ihia  latter  in- 

I  Eiance.  TheChapel  is  a  complete  ex- 
crescence ;  it  entirety  destroys  the  uni' 
formity  of  the  eastern  end  of  our  Lady's 
Chapel  (a  niaichleis  piece  of  architec- 
ture in  its  nrisinal  stale),  and  its  walls 
were  so  severely  injured  liy  a  fire  about 
a  ceniury  ago,  as  to  be  nearly  rebuilt 
wilh  brick,  which  has  been  done  in  an 
execrable  Gothic  style.  lis  removal 
therefiire  will  be  the  less  lamented  ihan 
the  other  Chapel,  which  appears  to 
have  been  d«iroycd  wiihout  any  reason. 
The  appearance  of  the  east  end  of 
the  Church,  now  laid  open  by  the  re- 

I  movat  of  the  houses,  is  very  tirihing; 
and  when  the  Lady  Chapel  ii  restored, 
as  I  trust  it  soon  will,  the  edifice  which 
possesses  this  grandeur  will  display 
much  of  the  air  of  a  Caihedral.  As  a 
building,  it  is  a  firit-rate  ornament  to 
the  Metionolit,  and,  if  apprnpriaiely  re- 

I  stored,  will  pleient  one  of  the  finest 
specimens  oi  early  pointed  archilccture 

The  ancient  and  hindsome  monu- 
ment of  the  poet  Gower,  owing  lo  ihe 
dampness  of  ihe  north  side  of  the 
Church,  has  suffered  in  nppcaranee 
f  since  the  last  repair  in  1T(>4,  which,  ai 
Dr.  Bliss  oliKrves  in  his  interesting 
essay  attached  to  the  engraving  in  Mr. 
Blore's  "  Monumental  Remains,'' "  the 
i;en|[emen  in  aulhoriiy  at  ihnt  period 
hare  not  failed  to  commcmorote,''  That 

<eni  repairs,  tliere  can  be  Utile  dnuhi  j 
but  shotild  the  parochial  authorities 
ileem  ihemtelves  not  lo  he  justified  in 
advancing  ihe  funds  for  ihe  necennry 
rmbelllshmem,  an  appeal  in  the  public 
will  not,  I  irusi,  be  heard  in  vain, 

]□  conclusion,  1  cannot  help  regret- 
ting that  Mr.  Gwili  was  not  eogained 
In  finish  ihe  repairs  he  had  begun: 
withtiut  any  disparagement  to  the  u- 
tciiii  of  the  genikmaii  before  named. 


it  must  be  evident  that  an  archllect 
who  had  such  opportunities  of  inspeei- 
ing  the  present  structure  as  Mr.  Gwill, 
must  be  eminently  qualified  for  the 
(ask  of  restoring  it  to  ill  prisiine  splen- 
dour. He  has  already  rebuilt  the  east 
end  in  a,credilahlc  manner,  and  which, 
though  not  absolulely  faultless,  is  cer- 
tainly one  of  the  finest,  if  not  actually 
the  finest  specimen  of  resloralionofihe 
present  day.  With  so  much  of  excel- 
lence then  before  him,  let  u)  hope  that 
Mr.  Wallace  will  in  his  new  works 
neither  deiract  from  the  perfection  of 
the  original  building,  nor  fall  short  of 
the  very  superior  merits  of  his  prede- 
cessor ;  and,  if  a  word  of  caution  may 
be  added,  that  he  will  recollecl  that

by  the  Parliament,  without  any  oppositSoo 
On  the  Dart  of  the  Sovereign ;  their  rowa 
wore  declared  not  binding,  the  Jesuits  secu- 
krised  and  distolfed,  and  their  effecta  alie- 
nated and  aold.'  See  D'Alembert's  «  Ac- 
coont  of  thn  Destmethm  of  the  Jesuits  in 
FmMre,*  £agl.  Traosl.  Lend.  1766.

torn  and  burnt  m  the  court  of  the  palace  by 
the  hands  of  the  executioner.'  See  Calen- 
drier  Jesuitique  pour  TAnn^  1898. 

*'  In  the  month  of  Nov.  1764,  an  edict 
of  the  king  decided  the  general  and  defini- 
tive expulsion  of  the  Jesuits.'  See  Histoire 
Civile,  Physique,  et  Morale  de  Paris,  1895,

"  From  the  time  of  the  condemnation  of 
the  inititatioa  of  the  Jesuits,  to  their  final 
qxpulsion  from  France^  it  is  probable  many 
bonfires  of  their  books  took  place,  at  some 
<me  of  which  Mr.  Home  was  likelv  to  be 
present ;  for  he  was  in  France  *  considerably 
more  than  a  year'  during  that  period. 

"  Mr.  D*Alembert  observes,  that  '  the 
volume  of  Assertions,  extracted  from  the 
hooks  of  the  Jesuits,  condemned  l^  the 
Magistrates,  had  been  preceded  some  years 
before  by  the  condemnation  of  the  work  of 
the  Jesuit  Busembaum,  in  which  the  doc- 
trine of  king-killbg  is  openly  malnUined  : 
the  copy  on  which  this  condemnation  waa 
pronounced,  bore  date  1757.'"

SaUsbury  CalhedraL 


[May, 


Salisbury  Cathedral. 


It  is  not  mj  parpose  to  enter  into  a 
description  ot  tne  Cathedral »  or  to  de- 
tail iu  architectural  features.  This  in- 
teresting building,  so  remarkable  for 
pnnty,  simplicity*  and  ^ndetir,  holds 
the  same  rank  in  English  architecture 
which  the  Parthenon  bears  in  the 
Grecian ;  the  characteristic  of  each  is 
perfection.  With  regard  to  the  never- 
to-be-forgotten  alterations  of  the  Ca- 
thedral bv.Wyatt,  under  the  auspices  of 
Bishop  ^rrington,  but  one  opinion  is 
entertained  at  present ;  even  the  cice- 
rone of  the  place  points  out  the  strange 
discrepancies  in  the  alterations. 

The  most  violent  alteration  which 
the  building  has  suffered,  was  occa- 
sioned by  the  addition  of  the  Lady 
Chapel  to  the  choir,  forming  a  chancel 
in  the  parochial  church  st^e.    Now, 
however  ignorant  the  architect  Wyatt 
might  have  been  of  the  ancient  ar- 
ranMment  of  ecclesiastical  buildings 
(and  ignorant  enough  in  this  respect 
he  was),  yet  a  diguiury  of  the  Church 
of  England  must  have  known  that  the 
choir  of  a  cathedral  answered  to  the 
chancel  of  a  parochial  church;  the  ad- 
dition,^ therefore,  of  a  chancel  to  a 
choir,  it  is  evident,  was  an  innovation 
at  once  inconsistent  and  useless.     At 
the  present  time,  this  discrepancy  is  pro- 
perly .recognised,  another  altar  having 
been  placed  on  or  near  the  site  of  the 
ancient  one,  at  which  the  communion 
service  is  performed ;  the  altar  at  the 
end  of  the  Lady  Chapel  being  in  con- 
sequence disused.    Here,  then,  one  of 
the  most  vaunted  and  at  the  same  time 
most  injudicious  alterations  has  been 
foond  to  be  no  improvement,  and  pro- 
priety has  dictated  the  restoration  of 
the  choir  to  something  like  its  former 
state.     To    complete    this    desirable 
change,  a  low  screen  of  stone  *  should 
be  erected   from   pillar  to  pillar,  and 
then  the  choir  of  Salisbury  will  once 
more  assume  a  cathedraMike  appear- 
ance.   The  removal  of  the  ugly  stain- 
ed glass   which   so   completely  disfi- 
gures the  Lady  Chapel,  and  the  sub- 
stitution of  a  design  of  mosaic  work, 
in  cheerful  and  lively  colours,  would 
complete    the    improvement    in    this 

Quarter.    A  throne,  which  might  be 
esigned  after  the  spire  of  the  Cathe- 

*  A  dttign  for  a  screen  by  Mr.  Buckler 
has  baen  eogmved,  and  it  appended  to  Caa- 
•an's  •«  Uvei  of  tha  Bbhopt  of  Salisbury." 


dral,  and  an  entire  new  set  of  stalls 
in  oak,  it  is  to  be  hoped  will  one  day 
supply  the  place  of  the  miserable 
wood-work  which  defaces  the  choir. 
The  design  of  the  present  throne  moat 
have  been  suggested  by  a  tile-kiln ;  the 
stalls  are  perfectly  carpenters*  Gotnic. 

The  conversion  of  the  nave  into  a 
museum  of  monuments,  would,  if  it 
had  hapMned  about  the  same  period 
in  a  neignbouring  country,  hare  caused 
the  press  to  teem  with  denunciationi 
against  infidels  and  barbarians.  Here 
an  exemplary  prelate  of  the  Church  of 
England  is  seauced  by  a  bad  taate  into 
a  measure  fraught  with  the  same  evik, 
and,  as  if  the  architect  was  determined 
that  his  aid  should  not  be  wanting  to 
complete  the  ruin,  he  either  patened 
the  canopy  of  one  monument  to  the 
pedestal  of*^  another,  or  formed  an  alter 
tomb  out  of  various  fragments  of  ce« 
nopies,  jumbling  ornaments  together 
without  reference  to  their  age  or  aimi- 
larity;  and  this  ridiculous  patchwork 
still  exists.  Let  us  hope  that  the 
time  is  not  far  distant,  when,  for  the 
credit  of  English  taste  and  Englidi 
science,  the  discordant  parts  will  give 
way  to  something  like  an  unfform  de- 
sign, and  a  restoration,  as  far  as  is  prac- 
ticable, of  the  different  parts  to  more 
appropriate  situations,  will  be  effected. 

In  the  boundary  wall  of  the  Bishop*a 
garden  are  numerous  sculptured  stones^ 
some  of  which  have  been  already  en- 
graved in  the  Gent.  Mag.  lxxxviii. 
li.  p.  306.  As  these  carvings  are  an- 
terior to  the  date  of  the  present  city, 
it  must  be  presumed  that  they  formed 
part  of  the  materials  of  the  ancient 
Cathedral  of  Old  Sarum,  and  were 
probably  transported  hither  when  Bi- 
shop Poore  translated  from  that  cbaich 
the  tombs  and  remains  of  the  Nornsen 
Bishops  Osmond,  Roger,  and  Josce- 
line,  in  1226.  The  good  taste  of  the 
ancient  builders  is  manifested  by  their 
placing  the  sculptured  face  of  the  stone 
outwards. 

In  Salisbury  are  three  handsome  pe- 
rish churches  of  ancient  date,  dedicated 
to  St.  Martin,  St.  Edmund,  and  St. 
Thomas  of  Canterbury,  which  have 
been  but  little  noticed.  The  descriptioa 
will  probably  be  acceptable. 

St.  Martin's  Churck 

Is  situated  in  the  eastern  part  of  the 
town.  The  plan  consists  of  a  nave 
and  side  aisles,  a  chancel,  and  a  square

{To  be  eonlmucd,) 

Mr  Urban,  AJaif  82, 

**  /^ALM  is  my  Soul,  nor  upt  to 

\^  rise  in  wrath  ;*'  but  when  I 
witness  mere  declamation,  uttered  by 
one  who  has  the  will,  and  received 
with  ignorant  acclamation  by  those 
who  have  the  power,  to  effect  the  most 
mischieroos  alterations  in  the  law,  I 
experience  a  deep  sense  of  self  abase- 
ment at  my  inability  to  defend  the 
right,  against  that  perrertcd  eloquence 
which  advocates  the  wrong ;  and  ilicrc- 
fore  nothing  but  a  sense  of  duty  and  a 
hope  to  stimulate  some  abler  champion 
to  the  righteous  contest,  would  induce 
me  to  raise  my  warning  voice  on  the 
occasion. 

It  is  possible  that  much  of  whjt  I 
have  to  say  may  not  accord  with  your 
•entimenu ;  but  while  I  trust  to  your 
candour  and   iuipaniality  for  making 
allowance  for  mere  difference  of  opi- 
nion, it  gives  me  pleasure  to  adt'ert  to 
one  essential  |x>int  on  which  we  agree, 
and  that  is  the  confirmed  English  feel- 
ing, which  ai)iid  all  the  chances  and 
cbangpt  attending  pohtical  events,  has 
pervaded  your  Journal,  and  which  will 
mainly  account  for  its  enjoying  to  a 
green  old  age  of  one  hundred  years  a 
continued   and   honourable  influence 
with    that  intelligent  and   im|k>rtant 
middle  class  of  English  society,  which 
cotnroh  all   beneath,  and   influences 
aU  above  it. 


By  this  pole  star  of  British  senti- 
mrni,  I  profess  to  be  gnidcd  in  my 
humhte  course,  and  in  obedience  to  its 
leading,  would  denonnce  to  public  tr- 

tilancc  and  to  public  censure,  a  boM 
ad  band  of  men,  who,  with  Hannibal, 
but  in  a  sjwrit  the  reverse  of  his,  have 
vowed  on  their  unhallowed  altars, 
eternal  warfare  a^inst  the  laws,  reli- 
gion, and  instiiutmns  of  their  country. 
Un-English  in  their  hearts,  un-English 
in  their  thoughts,  and  conscoiiriiily 
un-English  in  their  designs;  having 
Bent  ha  lu  for  their  oracle,  and  Carlile 
for  their  agent — "  Condorcet  filtered 
through  thtdrepsof  Paine"--they  con* 
template  an  entire  revolution  in  the 
national  jurisprudence.  Unskilled  in 
the  depths  of  English  law,  and  only 
acquainte<l  with  the  Napoleon  rrroln* 
tionary  code,  and  the  superficial  te«- 
ture  of  Genevan  legislation,  they  hate 
with  a  perfect  hatred  the  maguificent 
structure  of  the  constitutional  and  pro^ 
It  cting  law  of  Britain,  adapting  iurif, 
as  it  has  ever  done,  to  the  growing 
exieencies  of  the  subjects  of  its  car*. 

Emerging  from  the  woods  of  Saaony, 
established  by  Alfred,  improved  by 
Edwanl  the  Confessor,  unconquered  at 
the  Conquest,  triumphantly  confirmeil 
by  Mai(naCharta,;md  ripentng  thmftgh 
successive  ages,  the  substance  of  Eng- 
lish law,  the  growth,  hke  English  oak, 
of  a  thousand  years,  would  present  too 
obstinate  a  resistance  to  any  open  fyro- 
jects  which  ihese  coId-blo<ided  theorists 
might  plan  fur  its  destruction.  It  has 
therefore  been  their  |K)licy  to  proceed 
by  sapping,  and  unfortunately  they 
have  iou::d  in^trunienu  to  their  hearts* 
content. 

A  speech  of  six  hours  duration,  ami 
not  understood  by  any  six  persons  who 
heard  it,  efTcrtcd  two  niif:hty  jolis  in 
the  shajK!  of  royal  comniissinns,  for  the 
reform  of  law  in  all  its  branches.    The 
Couimissioners,    however,    procectfed 
slowly,   selon  Irs  rrgiet,  furnishing'  a 
rc|>ort  for  each  year's  salary,  and  all 
bein;;  Englishmen,  and  some  of  them 
good  lawyers,  they  professed  to  adhere 
m  established  principles,  and  to  leave 
certain  landmarks  undisturbed.     Had 
their  scheme,  therefore,  been  sufiered 
to  proceed  without  intcrft-rcncc,   the 
result,  some  ten   years  hence,  mi^t 
have  issued  in  a  few  improvements  in 
the  detail  of  practise,  such  as  would  in 
better  times  have  in-en  imperceptibly

creature  of  the  Ijotd  Lieutenant,  or  of 
the  County  Members,  if  on  the  win- 
ning side,  and  this  patronage  will  tend 
to  keep  them  so,  and  connected  directly 
or  indirectly  with  all  the  ftrnds  and 
election  squabbles  of  the  Country. 

The  intended  plan  is,  indeed,  di- 
rectly calculated  to  extend  ministeriul 
|Mtronage  throughmit  the  whole  circle 
of  the  Bar;  the  emoluments  of  which 
have  increased,  in  an  inrerse  ratio  to 
its  respectability.  Its  professors  are 
vrell  represented  in  parliament  and  play 
the  farce  well,  of  endeavouring  to  cUim 
a  degree  of  equal  reputation  for  the 
whole  body,  or,  of  only  coneeding,  as 
was  done  in  a  recent  speech ,  in  the 
House  of  Commons,  that  but  one  in  a 
hundred  may  be  of  questionable  honour. 
Were  this  indeed  so,  the  number  of 
Barristers  must  far  exceed  the  publi»hed 
list ;  because,  that  givirfg  under  1000, 
my  dividend  of  black  sheep  would  be 
^)M>ut  SO  per  cent.— a  much  larger  pro- 
portion,  let  me  add,  than  justly  applies 
lo  the  whole  body  of  Attorneys  and 
Solicitors,  so  much  the  theme  of  abuse 
with  the  great  vulgar,  and  the  small. 

While  on  this  topic  I  piny  be  per* 
jnitted  to  observe,  without  fear  of  con- 
tradiction,  that  Attorneys,  as  a  clau, 
possess  a  greater  share  of  intelligence 
and  integrity  than  will  be  found  in  any 
other  portion  of  the  community,  ex- 
posed to  equal  temptation.  The  test 
of  their  honour  lies  in  the  fact  that, 
although  vituperated  en  masse,  every 
peer,  every  meiuber  of  the  House  of 
Commons,  every  gentleman,  and  every 
tradesman,  has  one  •solicitor,  the  de- 
pository of  his  confidence,  in  pecuniary 
as  well  as  in  domestic  relations,  the 
guardian  commonly  of  his  children, 
the  protector  in  most  cases  of  his  pro- 
perly. Consequently,  as  all  the  noble- 
men, gentlemen,  and  tradesmen  of 
England,  cannot  employ  the  same  so- 
licitor, the  number  of  such  confiden- 
tial friends  and  agents  must  be  very 
considerable,  and  each  would  be  warmly 
quoted^  by  his  immediate  client  as  an 
exceniion  to  the  vulgar  rule.  The  ge- 
neral business  of  the  country,  public 
as  well  as  private,  is  likewise  m  a  great 
measaie  intrusted  to  their  conduct ;  and 
among  them,  are  many  as  well  bom 
and  ^located  as  the  foremost  at  the 
Bar,  and  star-height  above  the  20  per 
cent,  gentlemen,  who  have  resorted  to 
the  £r,  as  a  refuge  from  insolvent 
trade,  from  the  accountant's  desk,  or 
/fom  the  auctioneer's  ptilpit,  and  wV\6 


degrade  the  profession  into  a  trade  liy 
all  the  eagcrncis  of  mercenary  compew 
tit  ion,  prompted  by  the  irrcsistibk;  sti- 
mulus of  starvation. 

You  would  have  escaped  this  appeal 
had  the  Bench,  and  the  Uile  of  the  Bar, 
atood  forth  the  champions  and  the  bul- 
wark of  the  profession  they  adorn ;  bat, 
misled  by  the  phantom  of  |>seudo>libe* 
rality,  and  astounded  at  seeing  in  the 
enemy's  ranks  the  head  of  the  HooM 
pepariiiient,  they  seem  to  regard  with 
indifference  the  attack  made  opoD  the 
fabric  of  English  jnrisprodence,  and  by 
consequence  of  the  English  Cooatito- 
lion. 

This  revolutionary  movement  hat 
first  fixed  its  fan^  upon  the  Law.  A 
fiercer  irruption,  if  possible,  is  planned 
against  the  Church ;  and  an  easy  cal- 
culation will  ascertain,  how  long  iht 
Crown  and  Aristocracy  can  survive. 

If  the  system,  descended  to  us  ihroogh 
a  succession  of  twelve  centjuriea,  and 
by  which  we  have  been  permitted  lo 
achieve  a  name  beyond  that  of  cverr 
other  nation  under  heaven,  be  wortn 
preserving,  I  invoke  the  high-born 
and  well-bred  youth  of  England  to  ita 
aid,  by  the  same  sacred  spell  which 
led  their  fathers  forth,  in  firm  array, 
to  daunt  the  invader  from  our  shores. 
Theirs  was  a  call  more  glorious,  per- 
haps but  not  more  pressing  than  that 
which  should  ui^  the  present  genera* 
tion  to  defeat  the  machinations  of  ao 
insidious  enemy  in  our  own  camp. 

It  is  my  boast  that  I  was  one  of  that 
number,  who,  forgetting  every  distinc- 
tion of  sect  or  party,  remembered 
only  that  the  enemy  was  at  the  gate  of 
our  beloved  country.  The  demonstra- 
tion was  victory.  A  similar  burst. of 
feeling  would,  in  like  manner,  para« 
lyse  the  efforts  of  the  coldly  calculating 
dastards,  who  desire  the  subversion  of 
our  civil  and  religious  injtitntions. 
Their  only  chance  of  success  lies  in 
the  apathy  displayed  on  the  part  of  lite 
gentry  of  England,  who,  in  calmlj 
witnessing,  if  not  oiding,  the  demoli- 
tion of  what  they  may  consider  Qnim- 
portant  outworks,  will  learn  too  late, 
that  they  have  endangered  their  own 
citadel. 

I  need  not  add  that  these  my  de» 
dared  sentiments  are  perfectly  consis- 
tent with  the  fullest  latitude  of  legiti- 
mate opposition  to  the  measures  of 
Government,  and  with  the  most  stre- 
nuous appeals  for  redress  of  crievanccss 
And  (ot  vUe  Telrenchmcnt  of  cxpcnsea.

Oh  Iht  NomenvlaiMTe  of  OruUhology, 


[May, 


lore  never,  in  Natural  History,  to  he 
ailopied.  The  S|x:cilic  lemifl  of  place, 
although  lets  objectiohable  than  ihote 
of  person,  ought  also  to  be  very  sparing- 
ly, if  at  all  introduced,  because  it  must 
it  a  strange  species  indeed  which  has 
not  some  peculiarity  to  distinguish  it 
from  others  of  the  same  genus;  indeed, 
if  not  distinguishable  by  some  |>ecu« 
liarity,  it  mubt  of  course  merge  in  some 
other  species.  Hence  such  terms  as 
Pelecanut  BastunuM,  Oriolus  Baltu 
more,  Sylvia  Aj'ricana,  Parr  a  Chilentis, 
Mycterta  Americana,  Aplenodyles  Ma" 
gvUanica,  Apieuodytet  Patacbonica, 
Caprimulgut  Europaeui,  &c.  Ike.  ou^ht, 
by  scientific  severity,  to  be  wholly 
bani&hed  from  our  nomenclature.  But 
as  it  is  not  very  probable  that  those  al- 
ready adopted  will  be  bOon  if  ever  ex- 
punged.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  our 
scieiiiiBc  naturalists,  those  from  whom 
a  correct  nomenclature  ought  to  ema- 
nate, will  avoid,  for  the  fuiure,  and 
always  discountenance,  such  nnscien* 
tilic  and  inappropriate  ap{>ell«itions. 

Linnaeus,  aware  we  presume  of  the 
diliiciiliies  attendant  on  the  introduc- 
tion of  a  new  nomenclature,  preferred, 
in  numerous,  may  we  not  add  moat 
mstances,  the  use  of  terms  already 
known  tu  the  learned,  to  the  adoption 
of  new  ones ;  such  are  Vullur,  Falco, 
Sirix,  Psiltaats,  Anas,  Phcemcoplcrut, 
Fringilla,  Tardus,  Ike.  &c.  But  these 
terms  he  applied  to  genera,  not  to 
species,  and  hence  it  became  necessary 
to  introduce  another  word  to  designate, 
the  species  of  each  genus.  In  very 
many  instances  his  spcrcific  terms  are 
appropriate,  although  not  perha|>s  al- 
ways those  which  more  modern  science 
would  apply :  such  are  Picas  viridis. 
Picas  auralus,  Alcedo/ormosa,  Alcedo 
chhrocephala,  Loxia  chloris,  Loxia 
caroirostra,  Larus  canus,  Larnsfuicus, 
Tringa  pagnax,  &c.  &c.  In  others  he 
is  however  very  far  from  the  object 
which  he  ought  to  have  had  in  view. 
Thus  in  Siurtms  cinelus  (the  last  word 
being  from  xi^^^  the  Greek  term  for 
Thrush),  the  peculiar  habit  of  this 
bird,  namely,  that  of  pursuing  some- 
times its  prey  under  water,  demanded 
a  more  distinguishing  specific  term 
than  cinelus,  as  no  Ihrush,  as  far  as  is 
known,  pursues  its  prey  under  water, 
and  therefore  aquaticus  would  be  a 
much  better  term. 

Again,  what  can  be  more  inappro- 

jynxit  than  Falco  iinnunculus  f     it  is 

irae  that,  probably  in  comp\iat\ce  wivh 


the  classical  anthority  of  Pliny,  the 
term  iinnunculus,  anu  some  others  in 
the  Linnean  nomenclature,  were 
adopted ;  but  respect  fur  any  authority, 
however  great,  must  not  he  our  guide 
in  a  syslemaiic  arrangement ;  had  such 
reipect  prevailed,  when  a  reform  in  oiu 
Chemical  nomenclature  was  made, 
Glauber* s  sails  would  never  have  given 
place  to  the  mure  correct,  scientific, 
and  expressive  terms  of  Sulphate  tjjf 
Soda.  The  term  iinnunculus  was  ap- 
plied, it  has  been  conjectured,  by  the 
ancients  to  the  Hover-Hawk  or  Kesirii, 
because  it  was  the  then  practice  to  at- 
tach a  Utile  hell  to  the  bird  wfien  it 
was  used  in  falconry,  and  hence  ht 
specific  name ;  but  surely  this  bird  has 
in  its  colours,  form,  or  natural  habits, 
lome  characteristics  by  which  it  might 
without  diUiculty  be  distinguished.  It 
is  called  frequently  in  this  country 
Hover-Hawk^  from  its  very  common 
habit  of  hovering  in  the  air  over  its 
prey ;  it  also  proys  here,  and  it  is  pre- 
sumed elsewhere,  chiefly  on  mice :  a 
specific  tern»,  describing  one  or  other 
of  these  habits,  is  certainly  f^reatly  pre- 
ferable to  the  artificial  one /tnntfitcif/ivi^ 
which  requires  the  aid  of  history  to  be 
understood  ;  whereas  scientific  terms 
ought  to  be  explanatory  of  themielTCt : 
such  a  term  therefore  should  never 
have  been  applied,  in  a  scientific  ar- 
rangement, to  the  Hover- Hawk. 

But  why,  it  may,  perhaps,  be  said 
by  the  learner,  introduce  such  classical 
terms  at  all?  It  has  been  stated,  at 
the  commencement  of  this  paper,  that 
those  who  command  and   direct  the 

Kublic  mind  on  such  questions,  will 
ave  them ;  nevertheless,  it  is  for  the 
honour  and  credit  of  science  to  be  pre- 
sumed, that  a  belter  reason  than  the 
sic  volo  of  any  one,  however  eminent, 
can  be  given  :  for,  inasmuch  as  no  one 
of  the  modern  European  languages  has 
ever  been  used  in  systematic  natural 
hibtory,  in  such  a  way  as  to  become  the 
foundation  of  a  general  nomenclature 
in  every  language,  and  as  the  Greek 
and  Latin  (the  Latin  in  particular)  are 
in  this  respect  a  kind  of  universal  lan- 
guage, it  IS  therefore  desirable  to  en- 
courage the  use  of  such  terms  which, 
being  adopted  universally  by  the  learn- 
ed.and  scientific,  shall  ultimately  be- 
come common  in  every  country :  so 
that,  if  cure  be  taken  in  the  structure 
of  a  nomenctaiiire,  and  the  terms  be 
agrcfed  upon  (as  those  of  modern  che- 
lumiv  have  long  since  been),  there  is

Th§  Gowrie  Treaton. 


Mr.  Ur BAIT,     Kenion-ti.  May  15. 

THE  myiterious  iransactioii'  called 
"the  Gowrie  treason/'  being 
noticed  at  some  length  in  Sir  Walter 
Scott's  History  of  Scotland,  I  am  in- 
doccd  to  trouble  you  with  a  few  re* 
marks  on  this  dark  and  bloody  events 
It  seems  very  unreasonable  now  to  re* 
ceive  the  evidence  on  which  the  un- 
fortunate Ruthvens  and  Logan  were 
condemned,  when  those  who  lived  at 
the  time  rejected  it,  and  maintained 
their  opinion,  notwithstanding  the  ut- 
most endeavonrs  of  King  James  ond  his 
Courtiers  to  induce  them  "  to  declair 
their  satisfaction  of  the  truth  "  of  the 
conspiracy.  They  were  no  doubt  very 
disloyal  and  seditious  to  assert  their  di»» 
belief  in  his  Majesty's  teeth,  and  ought 
10  have  considered  with  Scott,*  that*' re- 
manda  non  sunt  arcana  imperii;"  yet 
it  appears  a  just  reflection  of  the  Author 
Of  the  •*  Secret  History  of  King  James," 
tvlio  says  that,  as  water  runs  always 
fiiirest  ine  nearer  it  is  to  the  fountain. 
It  is  to  be  inferred  that  those  who  live 
heareSt  the  periods  of  transactions  must 
have  the  clearest  knowledge  of  their 
truth.  ••The  Scots,"  he  adds,  "gave 
so  little  credit  to  this  pretended  con* 
sptrac/,  that  they  would  speak  both 
Slightly  and  despighifully  of  it,  and 
those  some  of  the  wisest  of  that  nation 
too.**  And  so  far  from  the  extraordi- 
nary honour  and  rewards  which  were 
bestowed  on  the  actors  of  this  tragedy, 
having  any  tendency  to  procure  o  be- 
lief in  the  existence  of  a  conspiracy, 
•*it  made  the  English  as  little  believe 
it  as  the  Scots  themselves  did.*' 
'  In  the  room  to  which  his  Ma- 
jesty was  decoyed,  there  stood  a  per- 
son in  armour,  and  the  King  named 
three  difieient  individuals,  each  of 
whom  he  successively  alleged  wos  the 
very  man.  Two  of  the  accused  im- 
mediately proved  their  innocence,  when 
he  swore  that  the  other,  a  servant  of 
Lord  Gowrie,  was  the  traitor.  The 
poor  man  shewed  that  he  was  in  Dun- 
dee when  his  master  was  killed,  and 
Eroceeded  to  disprove  the  accusation ; 
ut  when  on  his  way,  he  had  his  throat 
cut,  and  his  body  throwo  into  a  corn- 
field i  Andrew  Henderson,  fort«mitely 
for  his  Majesty,  avowed  himself  the 
person,  but  wisely  steered  clear  of  the 
charge  of  "art  and  part"  io  the  con- 
spiracy, by  declaring  his  total  igno- 


■•  •»! 


ranee  of  the  purpose  for  which  he  waa 
there  placed. 

In  this  pretended  conspiracy  LoiEan 
of  Lasternck,  a  barony  near  Emn- 
burgh,  was  nine  years  after  his  death 
implicated  by  the  prod  notion  of  a  seriei 
of  letters,  said  to  have  been  written 
by  him  in  maturing  the  plot.  TheM 
papers  have  no  allusion  to  the  conspU 
racy  at  Perth,  but  allude  to  an  attempt 
to  secure  the  King's  person  at  Fatu 
castle,  a  seat  of  Lasterrick,.in  the  coun- 
ty of  Berwick !  Nor  were  these  do-r 
cuments  originals,  but  appeared  during 
the  proceedings  in  dilferent  nurobera 
and  forms,  some  being  withdrawn, 
others  produced,  and  subsequently  en* 
larged  and  altered  !  In  the  agooiea  oC 
torture,  Sprot,  the  villainoua  aoouser, 
confessed  this  forgery;  but  the  Ei^l 
of  Otmbar,  who  by  the  forfeituic  ooi 
most  of  Lean's  estates,  assured  Um 
wretch  that  his  wife  and  family  shoiikt 
be  provided  for ;  when,  ••  beinj^  re^ 
solved  to  die,  and  not  having  a  wish  to 
live,"  he  adhered  to  his  first  confessioo* 
and  to  prevent  his  recantation,  he  waa 
next  day  handed,  although  it  is  iii4 
he  had  a  promise  of  pardou. 

The  Earl  had  a  more  difficult  taak- 
with  the  Lords  of  the  articles;  buti 
••  he  travelled  so  ekrneslly  to  overeomw 
their  hard  opiniims  of  the  procett,*'  that 
they  at  last  happily  acknowledged 
themselves  convinced,  and  the  cruel 
sentence,  by  which  the  ghastly  head  of 
the  old  baron  was  displayed  on  the  city 
gate,  his  estates  forfeited,  and  the  very 
name  proscribed,  was  finally  passed. 

It  is  diflicuh  to  imagine  why  tuch  a 
writer  as  Malcolm  Laing  shottKl,on  no 
other  evidence  than  *'  the  notorioua 
forgeries,  the  mock  letters  of  Lc^n,*' 
as  Pinkerton  calls  them,  reverse  his  firat 
opinion,  and  pronounce  Logan  guilty. 
It  is  as  astonishing  that  m  rertii» 
where  the  iradittonal  opinion,  haa 
always  absolved  the  gallant  Hutlivena 
from  the  charge  of  attempted  treason 
and  regicide,  a  belief  in  their  guilt 
should  begin  to  be  entertained.  For  my- 
self, having  deeply  studied,  along  with 
the  general  history  of  the  two  families, 
this  most  mysterious  transaction,  I 
must  come  to  the  opposite  conclttsion^ 
and  pronounce  my  opinion,  that  thew 
unfortunate  perspns  were  gpiiltlen  of

Tlii*  work  of  Colonel  Leake  ii  one 
of  the  sundurd  and  valudile  class.  The 
author  profeuedly  undertakes  to  follow 
PaauaitK  pfdelenlim.  and  to  acqoaint 
in  how  far  he  was  correct,  and  how 
much  now  retnatna  of  ihe  objects  de- 
scribed  by  him.  Of  course  the  work 
is  an  analytical  comment  upon  the 
Roman  ceoirspher,  and  how  well  it  is 
executetfis  unfversallv  allowe:!.  Every 
ihing  it  done  tecunaum  arlrm,  in  ex-

some  posMgei.  which  throw  li);l>l  uf' 
-  H  of  out  naitoual  antiquities,  o( 

n  euatoms. 
Ii  is  most  cctuun  (hat  devices  on 
shielJs  might  have  had  a  genealogical 
meaning,  and  that  oMKlern  heraldry  is 
onty  a  leviral  with  some  variations.

We  know  that  ihis  basis  of  heraldry 
has  been  disputed,  but  modification 
cannot  supersede  suggenion,  until 
mending  a  road  is  prior  lo  making  it. 

American  Anglicism  is  not  a  dis- 

Elay  of  the  national  character  m  the 
est  tasie.  Tile  summum  bonum  is  tO 
turn  Disjenter  and  Radical,  and  con- 
tract gentlemanthip  to  diess,  .furniture 
and  dinners.  Elevation  of  senlimeai, 
elegant  conversation,  and  refined  mas* 
noTS,  are  sacriRced  to  polemics,  poli> 
tics,  and  holiness.  We  are  not,  ihere^ 
fore,  to  be  surprised  that  vulgarity 
breaks  out  in  most  disgusting  forms. 
Even  the  lowest  Englishman  will  not 
strike  a  combaiaot  when  down,  nor 
strive  to  scoop  his  eyes  out  wlien  box* 
ing,  a  process  called,  from  a  carpenter's 
tool,  gouging.  It  seems,  however,  to 
have  been  an  ancient  warlike  Custom  ( 
for  the  old  gymnastics,  when  fighting 
hand  to  hand  was  Inditpensable,  be- 
cause there  was  no  gunpowder,  applied 
Id  every  possible  means  of  overcoming 
an  enemy.  Accordingly  ancient  war- 
riors, says  Pausanias,  "  combated  bv 
kicking,'biiing,  and  poking  Ike  eyei  of 
ihejr  ikdversaties.'' — i.  |66.

£verj  body  knows  that  Hermes  or 
Mercury,  or  Thoih,  was  the  favourite 
ffod  of  the  Britons;  and  that  Mr. 
Bowles  thinks  a  central  column  at 
Aborv  to  have  represented  that  deity. 
Tbe  following  passage  is  favourable  to 
thkt  gentleman's  hypothesis : 

*'  At  Phans  there  remained  in  the  time  of 
Pansanias  a  spaci^ran  Agora  of  the  ancient 
iMhion,  conuioiug  a  bearded  Hermes  Ago- 
rggusj  in  marble,  of  no  great  sixe,  tchieh  was 
wrmaUar,  and  a  fountain  called  Hama,  which, 
ae  well.es  the  fish  contained  in  it,  were  sa- 
cred to  the  aame  deity.  JVear  the  sialue 
ihtn  were  ihirty  quadrangular  stones,  to  each 
of  which  the  name  of  a  deity  was  attached, 
according  to  the  most  ancient  practice  of 
the  Gre&."— ii.  158. 

There  is  an  assimilation  to  the  sale 
of  horses  at  Smithfield  Market,  in  the 
following  passage : 

**  The  Agora  of  Elisa  was  callrH  the  Hip- 
podrome, became  serving  for  the  exercise 
af  horses  i  It  had  several  stoss  intersected 
with  streets.'*—!.  t99. 

Kistvaens  occur. 

*•  I  cross  the  river  at  Kamesi,  and  a  little 
bfyond  I  observe  on  the  road  some  ancient 
aepnlchres  of  the  simplest  kind,  that  is  to 
say,  Jwr  dabs  of  stone  set  eiigewite  in  the 
MrtA."— ii.  «6l. 

The  keystoned  arch  is  far  more  an- 
cient than  has  been  supposed.  There 
appears  lo  have  been  in  (he  most  re- 
mote periods  three diflerent  kinds;  viz. 
one  of  stones  projecting  over  each 
other,  and  cut  within  into  curves ;  an- 
other by  placing  two  stones  against 
each  other  in  a  sharp  angle,  and  bevil- 
ling  them  off  at  the  top,  so  as  to  meet 
together  in  a  broad  Surface,  and  sup- 

Eort  eaeh  other,  care  being  taken  to 
eep  them  united  bv  the  pressure  of 
an  abutmenu  The  third  is  that  which 
occurs  in  the  Treasury  of  Atreus  at 
Mfcenx,  and  is  thus  described  by  our 
author : 


**  There  were  about  forty  courses  of  roa- 
eomy  in  the  whole  buUdiagi  of  these  the 
lower  are  about  one  foot  tefi  taehta  la  height, 
and  composed  of  stones  from  four  to  seven 
feet  long}  above  tbe  great  window  the  eor- 
nera  are  narrower  than  in  tbe  lower  part  of 
the  building.    This  b  the  only  coaaplete 
specimen  remaining  of  a.  mode  of  aonstruc- 
tion  peculiar  to  the  early  Greeks,  and  whiok 
was  not  uncommon  among  them.     Its  prin- 
ciple is  that  of  a  wall  misting  a  soperincnm- 
bent  weight,  and  deriving  strenetn  and  co- 
herence from  the  «feight  itaelf,  which  in 
fact  seems  to  be  no  otMr  than  the  princi|^ 
of  the  arch.    The  same  motive  which  atig- 
gesfeed  tbe  circular  form  to  the  CydopeaH 
arehitect,  or  other  inventor  of  fchb  kind  of 
subterraneous  building,  induced  him  alao  to 
curve  the  sides  vertically,  as  they  derived 
from  that  form  an  additional  power  of  resist- 
ance to  the  lateral  oressore.    Tbe  upper 
stone  of  the  building  lias  been  removed,  and 
lies  in  fra^menU  on  one  side  of  the  aperture 
made  by  its  removal,  which  admits  a  view 
of  the  chamber,  from  the  surfkce  of  the 
ground  al>ove   the   treasury.      This  upper 
stone,  which  is  hollowed  below  to  form  the 
apex  of  tbe  parabolic  curve  of  the  chamber, 
was  laid  upon  the  upper  course,  like  that 
course  upon  the  next.     In  this  part  of  itm 
construction,  therefore,  the  Treasury  seema 
to  have  lieen  ImiIU  upon  a  principle  diilenat 
from  that  of  tlie  Treasury  of  Minyas  at  the 
Boeotian  Orchoinenus,  of  which  there  are 
remains  sufficient  to  show  that  there  was  a 
great  resemblance  between  the  two  buiU- 
ittgs,  as  might  be  presumed  from  their  hav- 
ing been  nearly  of  the  same  age,  and  intend- 
ed for  the  same  purpose.     Pausanias  de- 
scribes the  Treasury  of  Minyas  as  a  circular 
edifice  of  stone,  having  a  summit  not  very 
pointed ;  and  ho  adds,  that  the  upper  atone 
of  all  was  said  to  hold  togetlier  tne  whole 
structure.    The  first  part  of  his  descriptioo 
appoars  to  me  to  indicate  thai  the  Qrcho- 
menian  building  was  not  subterraneous  i  the 
second  part,  that  it  was  not  terminated  above 
in  a  keystone;  tlie  latter  ueculiarity  being,, 
perhap,  a  cuosequence  or  the  former,  and 
the  buildio/;  differing  io  both  from  the  sub- 
terranean Treasury  at  Mycenae,  where  the 
heavy  external  pressure  was  met  by  a  lateral 
as  well  as  a  horizoaul  arch,  and  where  the 
upper  stone  was  simplv  superimposed,  and 
kept  in  its  place  by  tlie  earth   which  lay 
upon  it.     It  would  seem,  from  the  words  cif 
Pausanias,  that  theTreasurv  at  Orehoatenus 
waa  a  more  obtuse  cone  than  that  of  My- 


To  this  account  we  beg  to  add,  from 
the  splendid  new  edition  of  Stuart's 
Athens,  vol.  iv.  that  the  reader  will 
there  see  plates  which  illustrate  this 
curious  remain  upon  a  large  scale,  and 
in  a  most  satisfactory  manner.  What-

of  the  largest  towns  of  Great  BritaiOa 
|ias  been  so  annoying,  as  to  excite  a 
determined  spirit  of  resistance,  which 
has  completely  overthrown  their  cause* 
Mr.  Bowles  observes  (page  807),  ^t 
these  "Solifldian  shepherds'*  are  shock- 
ing calumniators,  and  we  could  name 
two  gentlemen  of  unblemished  cha- 
lacter  and  sound  religious  principles, 
who  have  been  obliged   to  threaten 
cUfgvmtm  of  that  school  with  actions 
for  hbel.    One  of  these  clergymen  was 
actually  compelled  to  resign  a  curacy 
on  account  of  his  dealings  in  slander. 
That  such  an  encroaching  artifice  of 
Ipw  cunning  to  establish  a  domineer- 
ing  priestcraft,  ou^ht  to  be  indignantly 
expelled  from  society,  is  manifest ;  and 
It  It  equally  clear  that  it  is  antichris* 
tian  and  unchariuble.    The  unwar* 
lantable  and  dangerous  depreciation  of 
morality,  learning,  and  the  arts  and 
sciences,  are  other  and  as  pemieioos 
innovations.  Yet  with  all  these  mons- 
trous errors,  they  claim,  as  Mr.  Bowles 
phserves  (p.  253),  infallibility  1     To 
prevent,  therefore,  such  a  mischievous 
propagation  of  folly,  is  the  duty  of  tht 
able  and  learned  Clergy ;  and,  however 
vnwelcome  may  be  the  task,  they  are 
not  patriots  or  benefactors  to  the  State 
if  they  shrink  from  it.  ^  A  spbstitution 
of  devotees  and  iipbeciles  for  our  sol- 
diers,   sailors,    scholars,    and   artists, 
would  be  an  evil,  which  would  expose 
«s  to  Qonqutit  and  ruin ;  yet  suck  is 
thr  iiDpfOvement  which  has  emanated 
from  iht  school  of  Wesley  and  Whit- 


field. Mr.  Bowles,  therefore,  in  step- 
ping forward  as  he  has  done,  is  entitled 
to  the  highest  praise,  and  most  hear* 
tily  do  we  wish  bis  work  to  have  that 
infloence  and  success  which  are  josdy 
due  10  his  snperior  talents.

{QmcUnitdfrom  pagt  8M.) 

FROM  a  plan  of  the  Ohareh  of 
Holy  Island  Priorv,  we  see  that  the 
original  semicircular  east  end  of  the 
chancel,  so  indicative  of  early  periods,' 
was  superseded  by  the  usual  square 
termination,  because  apparently  the 
apsis  did  not  harmonize  with  a  cor- 
rect figure  of  the  cross ;  but  what  ia 
very  unusual,  the  two  eastern  ends  of 
the  transepts  were  semtcireolar.  They 
certainly  were  not  coeval  with  the  old 
fabric,  for  they  are  much  larger  than 
the  first  chancel. 

The  stump  of  the  old  crott  was 
called  the  Peiiing  Stone,  and  newly 
married  people  were  made  to  leap  over 
it,  for  lucR.— -p.  153. 

The  jumpimr  is,  we  know,  of  Dmld- 
ical  origin.  The  term  peiiing  may  be 
derived  from  the  A.  S.  Pe)6^&an»  omi- 
eulcare,  pedibus  obterere. 

From  the  inventory  of  the  goods, 
&c.  of  Sir  William  Reade,  taken  June 
HI,  1 604,  it  appears  that  the  old  knight 
had  not  a  bottle  of  wine  in  hit  house. 
The  miserable  furniture  for  servants* 
bed- rooms  is  noted  by  Strutt  in  his 
"  MannersandCustoms;'*and  it  appeals 
that  the  servants  occupied  five  beds  ar- 
ranged in  two  lofts,  the  sieads  of  which 
were  valued  at  64.  each  only.— p.  176. 
The  chopping  knives  of  the  scullery 
were  made  of  wood,  for  one  is  described 
**  as  rotten.''— p.  178. 

The  inventory  taken  upon  the  death 
of  William  Swinhoe,  in  l6s3,  men- 
tions, 

<«  The  kiuhine,  the  milkhonsa,  the  brew- 
hoose,  the  buttery  [in  vhich  there  ware 
*  two  silver  boulas,  one  silver  salt  and  alataa 
•iWer  spoones,  \0L  lOf.  and  no  other  plaia 
is  enoraerated,]  the  cellar,  the  hall  [when 
was,  inter  alia,  *one  pair  of  playaing  ta- 
bles,*] the  parlor  [occupied  by  two  bads], 
the  stairfbot  ehamber,  tbe  greae  ehaiaber, 
the  hartechoke  chamber,  the  yallowo  ehaai- 
ber,  the  middle  chamber,  the  gallery  cham 
ber,  and  the  long  gaUery."— p.  187. 

From  this  statement,  ax  well  as 
others,  it  may  appear  how  impractica- 
ble it  is  to  appropriate  the  rooms  of 
old  castellattd  mansions  and  seats.

Who  and  what  were  the  Cyclops, 
to  whom  these  great  works  are  as- 
cribed, has  been  discussed  by  Or. 
CUrke  *  with  his  usual  erudition ;  and 
he  quotes  Casaobon  upon  Strabo  for 
the  application  by  the  ancienu  of  all 
works  remarkable  for  their  magnitude 
to  the  Cyclops. t  He  also  supposes 
that  they  were  the  giants  of  the  Sep- 
tuagint;  1  a  hint  which  we  shall  im- 
prove. Wc  shall  add  to  this,  that 
even  in  the  imperial  aera  of  Rome, 
both  Maximinus  and  Ferinos  were 
nicknamed  Cyclo|)es  from  large  stature 
and  savage  dispositioo.§  These  mat- 
ters being  premised,  we  shall  endea- 
vour to  throw  some  new  light  upon 
the  subject. 

The  first  of  the  heathen  authors  who 
mentions  the  Cyclops  is  Homer,  who 
describes  them  (according;  to  the  phi- 
losopher's scale)  as  havmg   emerged 
from  the  hunting  to  the  pastoral  stage 
of  society  (but  not  the  ^ricultural) 
without  laws  mldtiuarm,  or  the  use  of 
ihe  plough  (through  subsistence  u|ion 
ihe  sponuneous  fruits  of  the  earth), 
and  with  caverns  on  the  tops  of  hills 
for  habitatioi^lj    Cicero  (in  Verrem, 
Orat.  X.  1.  ▼.)  says  that  they  occupied 
maritime  coasts,  that  they  might  kill 
all  those  who  landed  from  shins,  or 
imprison  them  in  quarries,  ana  carry 
the  cargo    and    goods  to  a  prmtona 
domH$M    Pliny  adds,  that  they  were 
cannibals ;  and  in  the  following  para- 
graph, that   the  Arimaspi   were  de- 
^bed  as  having  only  one  eye  in  the 
-middle  of  the  forehead ;  a  notion,  not 
taken,  as  Dr.  Clarke  presumes,  from 
a  helmet   with    only    one   aperture, 
bat  according  to  Muretus  and  others,

from  the  custom  of  shuuing  one  eye, 
to  uke  better  aim  in  archery.*    That 
they  6rst  invented  towers,  s*.  r.  for* 
tresses,  is  an  affirmation  of  Aristotle ;  f 
but  Theophrastus   ascribes  it  to  the 
Tirynihians-t     Taking  all  these  re- 
counts together,  it  is  easy  to  under* 
stand  the  mythological  ules  of  Ulysses 
and  Polyphemus,  and  the  architectural 
remains,  without  having  recourse. lo 
the  strange  hypothesis  of  Rabaut  de 
St.  Etienne,  that  the  Cyclopes  were 
only  personifications  of  volcanoes.— 
But  the  difficulty  remains.    Who  were 
they,  and    whence    did    they  derive 
their  architectural  knowledge?    They 
have  been  (erroneously)  stated  to  have 
been    contemporary  with    Abrahaoii, 
who  lived  1881   years  before  Christ; 
but  even  were  this  true,  M.  Champol- 
lion  and  Sir  William  Gell  have  diaco- 
vcred  that  the  arts  of  sculpture  and 
architecture  were  in  high  perfection  in 
E^pt  during  the  time  of  Osortaseo  I. 
who  began  his  reign  in  the  year  S068 
before  the  commencement  of  our  mn.§ 
The  name  of  this  king  occurs  on  nu- 
merous monuments,  even  as   far  as 
Mount  Sinai.ll    The  state  of  ioeicty 
is  the  next  question ;  and  it  aids  the 
other.    Cluver  says,^   that  Cerei  is 
affirmed  to  have  invented  the  art  of 
raising  and  grinding  corn  in  Attica, 
Italy,  and  Sicily,  when  ike  Hebrews  be* 
gan  to  cultivate  Palestine,    The  occu- 
pation  of  that  country  was  posterior  to 
the  expulsion  of  the  natives,  and  uiKler 
circumstances  hereafter  presumed,  ex- 
plains the  passage  of  Homer   before 
2 noted,  in  which   he  says    that  the 
'yclopes  were  not  agriculturisu.  It  b 
said  too,  in  the  chronoloffical  books, 
that  the  Canaanites  arrived  in  Argolb 
in  the  year   1 100  before  Christ,  and 
that  Praetus,  for  whom  the  Cyclopes 
built  IVrins,  lived  on  or  about  fifty 
years  after  the  last  date.    These  pre- 
mises lead  us  to  the  hypothesis  now  to 
be   risked,  viz,  that    these  Cyclopes 
were  of  Phenicean  or  Canaanitish  race, 
which  inhabited  the  country  between 
the  Euphrates  and   the  Jordan ;  na- 
tions which,  like  the  Cyclopes,  are  dis- 
tinguished in  Scripture  by  the  name  of 
g^iants,  and  had  fortified  cities  in  the 
time  of  Moses,  who  lived  in  the  year 
1610  before  Christ,  four  hnndred  years

Enf^knd  with  PortttgaL  %vo  pp,  50. 

INTERFERENCES,  in  rewird  to 
the  succession  to  thrones,  resemble,  ac* 
cording  to  history,  "  the  beginnings  of 
strife,'  unless  tWerebe  a  previous  mili- 
tary ascendancy.  In  the  present  case, 
the  question  is  not  whether  Don  Miguel 
ought  to  have  elevated  himself  from 
Regent  to  Sovereign,  but  whether  he 
ought  to  have  been  put  in  the  former 
fituation  at  all.  If  Don  Pedro  was  to 
continue  Sovereign,  a  Council  of  Re- 
gency would  have  been  the  fittest  mea- 
t«re.  Be  this  as  it  may,  the  matter  it 
now  one  which  can  only  be  settled  by 
power.  Lord  Palmers  ton  seems  to 
think  that  such  power  ought  to  have 
been  exercised  by  us,  and  if  so,  Portu- 
gal must  have  become  virtually  a  pro- 
vince of  England.  Such  a  measure 
would  have  produced  a  resistance  from 
^e  powers  on  the  Continent,  another 
war,  or  other  consequences ;  such  an 
acquisition  niight  have  been  buying 
gold  too  dear.  To  us,  the  subject  seems 
to  present  nothing  but  a  choice  of  evils. 
Whether  our  neutrality  has  thrown 
Pbrtugal  into  the  arms  of  Spain,  as 
Lord  Palmerston  contends,  depends 
'Upon  circumstances  and  anticipations 
•or  which  we  are  not  qualified  to  give 
an  opinion.  We  only  know  that  the 
speech,  in  its  literary  character,  confers 
great  credit  upon  the  noble  author.

cientiy  to  Hertford,  by  makmg  it  (ha 
Durocobriva  of  that  peopk,  a  iowa 
possessed  by  the  Triookaniei,  and  the 
Durubriva  of  Antoninas.  Camdeog 
however,  assigns  this  station  to  Redt 
bourn  (p.  3).  Thus  our  author.  .  W« 
find,  however,  from  Richard  of  Circn* 
ccster,  that  Durobrist  Duvopiovis,  ami 
Durourovis,  is  placed  at  Rochester :  and 
that  tne  copy  of  Antoninus  in  Gough't 
Camden  applies  Durocobrivis  lo  Dmh 
ford  or  Bngcasterton,  or,  as  HorsUy,  to 
Dunstable.  It  is  said,  too,  thai  a  fio* 
anan  road  crossed  the  Lee  at  that,  place, 
and  was  denominated  tlie  Ermine- 
street.  But  this  is  a  loose  appeliatioo, 
which  seemt  to  have  been  applied  to 
various  vise  militares.  However  thit 
may  be,  it  is  evident,  from  the  146 
bursesaes  or  crown  tenants  mentioned 
in  Domesday,  and  the  synod  held  thaia 
in  the  seventh  century,  that  it  was  a 
place  of  high  note  in  the  Anglo-Saxon 
sera.  Edward  the  Elder  erected  a  cat- 
tle, which  varied  from  the  usual  form 
of  such  Anglo-Saxon  fortreates*  in  not 
being  placed  upon  a  4umulut»  but  be* 
tween  three  rivers,  the  waieiavf  which 
would,  by  means  of  a  nioat»  isoinpletely 
insulate  the  site,  lo  Mr.  Suriees^a  Dur-

kind  of  fortifications,  aa  not  unotual  ii

of  a  Norman  castle,  Hertford  hat  Ihtle 
or  no  vestiges  of  antiquity.  Thiixir- 
cumstance  must  account  for  the  brevity 
of  our  notice.  Mr.  Tumor  hat  given 
every  historical  and  statistical  matter 
connected  with  the  town,  and  the

fhe  donations  cost  the  state  nothing, 
but  were  taken  from  private  property, 
are  entitlcfl  to  indemnification.  Let  us 
tee  the  resuh  by  figures. 

Take  the  revenues  of  the  Church  at 
tight  milHont  per  annum.  This  sum  at 
fourteen  years  purchase  (the  usual  price 
of  tithes,)  vrould  cost  one  hundrea  and 
Mvelve  millions.  The  interest  of  that 
sum  at  four  per  cent,  is  four  millions 
four  hundred  and  eighty  thousand 
pounds  per  annum,  which  must  be 
paid  for  either  by  seneral  taxation  to 
that  amount,  or  subtractiou  from  the 
confiscated  property.  The  sum  re- 
maining is  tnree  millions  five  hundred 
and  twenty  thousand  pounds  per  annum ; 
out  of  that  sum  is  again  to  be  subtracted 
the  money  at  present  paid  in  land-tax, 
poor-rates,  and  parochial  assessments. 
Take  the  clear  residue  at  two  millions, 
and  the  number  of  clergy  at  fifteen 
thousand  ;  the  portion  perliead  ia  about 
133/.  per  annum  each.  Now,  what 
sort  of  education  are  men  likely  to  re- 
ceive, to  whom  no  higher  emolument 
can  be  prospective.  Scholars  and  gen- 
tiemen  are  completely  banished  from 
the  profession.    But  matters  will  not 

Si  on  quite  so  smoothly  as  stated.— 
very  body  knows,  that  what  is  saved 
in  tithes  is  added  to  the  rent;  and  the 
final  result  will,  according  to  experi- 
ence, be  only  gatfiifr^a  lost;  that  is,  if 
1/.  be  saved  in  tithes,  thirty  shillings 
will  be  added  in  rent ;  *'  for,"  said  the 
Devonshire  farmer,  **  if  they  take  away 
the  tithes  from  the  parsons,  where  will 
thev  ^  to?  to  the  landlord  to  be  sure  ;*' 
and,  if  the  whole  ecclesiastical  income 
were  sequestered  without  indemnity  to- 
morrow, and  the  clergy  sent  to  the 
workhouse,  then  would  all  the  rents 
be-  immediately  raised  at  least  to  the 
full  amount  of  the  abolished  tithes; 
and  the  maintenance  of  the  clerical 
paupers  would  be  superadded  to  the 
poor-rates.  We  shall  only  observe, 
that  the  subject  of  tithes  has  underaone 
the  most  solemn  consideration  of  the 
first  statesmen  and  lawyers,  and  that  no 
other  result  than  mere  commutation, 
mere  change  of  proprietors,  could  pos- 
aibly  be  expect«i ;  for  tithes  and  pa- 
rochial taxes  neither  are  nor  ever  were 
any  other  than  deductions  from  rent- 
That  want  of  demand  is  the  cause  of 
the  present  low  prices  is  proved  by  the 
high  rent  and  burdens  borne  by  the 
landed  interest,  without  a  murmur, 
during  the  war. 
^^$  to  Mr,  Coventry's  imputations 


concerning  the  ease  and  luxury  in  which 
clergymen  live,  we  deny  the  fact,  as  to 
the  main  body.  Since  thty  were. al- 
lowed to  marry,  they  have  had  a  provi- 
sion to  make  tor  families,  and  are  na- 
turally and  fairly  desirous  of  maiataioiM; 
a  respectable  appearance,  i  Adam  Smith 
has  settled  the  distincUoD  between  the 
austere  and  liberal  system  of  manners ; 
and  in  Mr.  Macke/s  Constitution' of 
the  Church,  Mr.  Coventry  will  see  that 
the  austere  svstem,  which  he  ao  advo- 
cates, would  inevitably  detach  all  the 
rich  and  educated  from  the  Establish- 
ment ;  or  from  any  other  system  that 
professed  Puritanism.  We  assure  Mr. 
Coventry  that  we  speak  only  as  men  of 
business.  We  believe  it  absurd  to  think 
that  the  tithes  could  be  uken  from  the 
clergy,  and  the  rents  of  the  laodJoni  not 
be  proportionally  augmented ;  and  if  es- 
utes  subject  to  tithes  are  bought  ao 
much  cheaper  in  consequence,  aochan 
abolition  is  a  benefit  to  the  landlord, 
for  which  he  never  gave  an  eqoivolent. 
And  so  short-sighted  are  Mr.  Coventry 
and  his  brother  reformers^  that  th^ 
totally  forget  the  enormoua  addition  lo 
ministerial  influence  which  the  substi- 
tution of  governmental  stipends  wooU 
naturally  brinp  with  it 

The  truth  is,  that  the  press  grooos 
with  publications,  recommending  pk- 
beian  thinking  and  plebeian  habita; 
which,  if  acted  upon,  would  prodiiee 
only  incalculable  mischief,  and  finally, 
on  that  account,  be  at  last  expelled  by 
military  despotism,  and  a  recoil  of  pro- 
flipcy.  So  says  the  unerring  voice  of 
History.

We  willingly  concede  lo  Mr.  Steb- 
bing  thie  praite  of  all  that  can  be  done 
upon  thii  subject,  so  far  as  regards  ge- 
neral history.  But  it  is  not  possible  to 
mc  an  accurate  character  or  Chivalry 
by  general  history.  It  is  as  erroneous 
as  to  suppose  that  the  skeleton  of  a 
beautiful  woman  can  give  a  just  repre* 
sentation  of  her  living  person.  Details 
of  romantic  action  and  picturesque 
feeling,  such  as  distinpiish  at.  Pa1aye*s 
writings,  can  alone  give  to  the  subject 
commanding  interest.  To  discuss  it 
in  the  manner  of  philosophy  and  ge- 
neral history*  is  only  to  treat  Poetry 
as  if  it  were  Algebra.

He  appears  to  have  been  an  unphilo- 
sophical  fanatic,  who  did  not  see  that 
the  passions,  senses,  and  conformation 
of  man  show  that  he  was  never  intended 
by  Providence  to  be  a  mere  devotee ; 
Mnd  that  Heaven  could  not  possibly  be 
a  lunatic  asylum,  intended  only  for  de- 
ranged and  odd  people.  We  have  a 
proof  from  this  very  dangerous  society, 
the  Jesuits,  what  an  edifice  of  mischief 
an  enthusiast  may  be  ignorantly  found- 
ing, for  it  seemsy  that  the  present  cha-

We  enjoy  the  humour  of  Moliere;  but 
these  plays  of  Picard  seem  to  us,  as  to 
inctdcDt,  unintelligible  harlequinade; 
and  as  to  wit,  only  making  faces. 

ni.  Baron  Cuvier. — ^This  is  an  ex- 
^llent  article.  There  were  unques- 
tionably animal  existences  Ions  before 
that  of  man,  and  fossil  conchology  has 
incontestibly  proved 

"  that  not  only  the  productlont  of  the 
land  have  been  onanged  by  the  revolutions 
whioh  have  uken  place  on  the  tnrfiice  of  the 

globe,  but  that  the  tea  itself,  the  chief  asent 
I  moet  of  these  revolutions,  has  changed  its 
inhabitants."— p.  861. 

In  common  sense,it  must  be  acknow- 

Itdged  that  the  pabulum  of  animab 

Aibst  be  pre-existentto  their  formation. 

li  iraJboerident  that,  as  Mr.  Granville 

^eaa  BUtea,  a  violent  disrupUon  o(  iha 


crust  of  the  earth  must  hare  enaned  be« 
fore  a  basin  was  provided  for  the  wa« 
ters,  (see  Gen.  i.  o)  and  that  aH^eolo^ 

g'ists  admit  the  present  surface  to  have 
een  the  bottom  of  the  antediluviaa 
sea;  occurrences  of  two  distinct  and 
remote  periods.  Cuvier  maintains  (see 
p.  362)  that  there  is  no  trace  of  the  for* 
mer  existence  of  mammtfierooa  animalsy 
in  the  chalk  formation  and  the  strata  of 
anterior  date,  only  of  cold-blooded  rep- 
tiles, and  the  amphibious  class.  Under 
admission  of  these  facts,  namely,  the 
marine  origin  of  the  present  earth,  the 
absence  of  mammalia,  and  the  tempera* 
ment  of  the  blood  in  the  present  hu- 
man race,  we  enteruin  tne  sreatest 
doubts  concerning  the  pretended  disciK 
very  of  human  antediluvian  skeletcms, 
hysenas,  frc.  Cuvier  has  found  the 
fossil  human  skeleton  of  Scheuchxer  to 
be  only  that  of  a  gigantic  salamander^ 
and  all  the  human  remains  of  Spallan- 
xani  to  be  only  those  of  ruminating 
animals  (p.  356).  The  Goadaloope 
skeleton  has  been  shown  to  be  of  re- 
cent date,  and  as  to  the  bones  in  the 
Durfort  cavern,  Kosrits  quarries,  &e., 
they  are  found  to  be  in  a  broken  scat- 
tered state,  which  could  not  have  en- 
sued through  submersion  ;  and  if  the 
antediluvian  earth  was  the  bottom  of 
the  present  sea,  there  alone  can  onlecii- 
luvian  fossils  and  human  skeletons  be 
sought.  In  our  opinion,  the  Mosaic 
cosmogony  is  not  substantially  at  t** 
riance  with  the  geological  discoveries. 
It  states  that  the  several  processes  of 
creation  took  place  in  successive  dajfst 
but  there  neither  were,  nor  could  have 
been,  dat^s  or  other  denotations  of  time 
till  afker  the  fourth  day,  when  the  orbit 
of  the  earth  was  fixed  (see  Geo.  i.  IQ): 
The  word  day  can  therefore  only  mean 
distinct  intervals.  In  the  beginning 
the  earth  is  stated  to  have  been  **  sntri- 
sible  and  unfurnished,**  the  Hebrew  of 
our  **  without  form  and  void  *'  in  the 
translation,  in  the  first  day  there  was 
light,  but  no  appearance  of  the  solar  or 
lunar  bodies ;  m  the  second,  an  atmo- 
sphere was  formed ;  in  the  third,  the 
waters  subsided  into  a  basin,  and  vege- 
tation commenced ;  in  the  fourth,  uie 
earth  was  placed  in  her  orbit,  .to  secnra 
a  succession  of  seasons,  and  the  sun  and 
moon  and  stars  appeared ;  in  the  fifkh 
day,  fish  and  reptiles  and  birds  were 
created  ;  in  the  sixth,  followed  the  ter- 
restrial beasts  and  animals.  After  these 
nrevious  creations  man  came  t^  last.

pean  now  bal  as  a  dream,  proelalm  lo  mt 
that  they  ought  noty  and  will  not  ha  for- 
gottm.  They  who,  in  hiack  Benedictina 
vestoMnUy  trod  thatc  hallowed  couita,  have 
denarted ;  their  procettiont  and  imagety  and 
lights,  and  altan,  have  disappeared ;  their 
long  peal  at  Prime  is  heard  no  more.  Their 
religious  ceremonies  have  been  snoeeeded  by 
n  purer  mode  of  worship  and  less  eneom* 
bered  rites.  Yet  their  records,  and  Choreb, 
and  cloisters,  show  us  in  part  what  men  they 
vere  {  how  wealthT  and  influential  in  their 
generation  i  how  diligent  in  their  promotion 
of  certain  of  the  liberal  arts )  how  studious, 
according  to  theiropinion,  of  employing  their 
best  efforts  in  rabinc  and  decorating  a  tem- 
ple to  the  honour  of  Ood«  And  should  the 
errors,  which  induced  their  downfiill,  never 
be  obUterated,  neither  will  some  oortion  of 
their  deservings  ever  cease  to  be  bad  in  rt- 
membnnce,  while  that  tower  shall  lift  Hi 
bead  above  the  vale,  which  for  so  many 
centuries  it  has  adorned.  There  Ions  may 
It  continue,  in  undiminished  beauty,  the  act 
miration  of  the  traveller  and  of  the  anti- 
quary, an  indication  of  the  pious  feeling  and 
talent  of  ages  past,  and  a  model  of  ardii- 
teotuial  propoition  and  elegance  for  many 
tooome, 

Mr.  Briltoirs  own  account  of  the 
Cathedral  is  drawn  up  with  neatncM, 
and  with  every  attention  to  compress 
as  much  information  in  as  few  words 
at  pouible;  to  select  and  esemplify 
prominent  -facts,  in  biography  and  his- 
tory; and  with  the  assistance  of  the 
plates,  aH  the  architectural  varieties  and 
characteristics  of  the  building. 

The  preface  notices  a  personal  cala- 
mity that  happened  to  Mr.  Britton,  in 
tbe  autumn  or  1826,  in  the  fracture  of 
his  right  leg,  at  Gloucester,  whilst  in 
the  prosecution  of  this  work.  Mr. 
Briiton  gratefully  acknowledges  the  at- 
tentions shown  to  him  during  this 
trying  misfortune;  and  we  heartily 
rejoice  that  the  worthy  author  is  now 
again  in  high  health  and  spirits  to  pur- 
sue his  useful  and  beneficial  labours.

.  TBjy  Sir  Walter  Scott,  Bart,    CadelT  and 

dok  Bdimlmrghg  Simpkin  and  Marshall, 

HOWEVER  depreciatins  may  be 
tbe  character  bestowed  by  Sir  Walter 
Scott  on  these  performances,  they  ap- 
pear to  us  every  way  worthy  of  his 
name.  Thev  may  not,  iodeed,  be 
fitted  for  tneatrieal  representation; 
ihty  may  be  deficient  in  stage  eflkct ; 
bat   MB  dramatic  poems,    aooua<\\i\g 


with  beautiful  imagery  and  poetic  feel- 
ing and  expression,  they  are  the  off- 
spriDg  of  that  pen  which  so  happily 
imitated  the  style  of  the  elder  drama- 
tists, in  those  striking  mottoes  prefixed 
to  many  of  the  chapters  of  hia  immor- 
ul  fictions.  It  is  not  by  intricacy  of 
plot,  nor  by  those  situations  that  tell 
upon  the  stage,  that  these  diaoaaa 
please ;  they  are  independent  of  clap- 
traps and  cou|M  de  theatre;  but  their 
great  charm  is  in  the  force  and  vivacity 
of  the  dialogue,  the  thorough  know- 
ledge evinced  of  the  human  heart— ita 
disguises,  iu  subterfuges,  itt  weak- 
nesses, the  serenity  of  iu  affections; 
in  the  thousand  nameless  graces  that 
give  interest,  dignity,  and  effect  to  the 
trifles  even  of  genius;  and  in  the  ele- 
vated strain  of  poetir,  which  runs 
through  the  whole  volume.  As  read- 
ing dramas  they  are  of  a  very  high 
order.  We  will  not  unravel  the  intri- 
cacy of  the  plot,  nor  mar  the  intereak 
which  every  reader  would  consider 
impaired  by  his  jprevions  admissioQ 
into  the  secret.  We  will  select  a  few 
passages,  which  have  appeared  to  us 
as  striking  instances  of  those  beauties 
of  thought  or  expression  which  we 
have  pronounced  to  be  thickly  strewn 
throughout  the  pages. 

*'  Bteanor. — In  the  chill  damping  gale  of 
poverty 
If  Love's  lamp  go  not  out,  it  gleams  but 

palely. 
And  twinkles  in  the  socket,  [her  veil 

Flora — But  tenderness  can  screen  it  with 
Till  it  revive  again."  p.  58. 

<<  When  Grief  turns  reveller. 
Despair  is  cup-bearer." 

**  —  All  men  beg— 
Your  soldier 
Begs  for  a  leaf  of  laurel,  and  a  tine 
In  the  gazette.     He  brandishes  bis  sword 
To  back  his  suit,  and  is  a  sturdy  beggar. 
The  courtier  begs  a  ribband,  or  a  star. 
And,  like  our  ^ntler  mumpers  is  provided 
With  false  certificates  of  health  and  fortune 
Lost  in  the  public  service.     For  yoor  lover. 
Who  begs  a  sigh,  a  smile,  a  lock  of  hair, 
A  buskin-point,  be  maunds  upon  die  pad. 
With  the  true  cant  of  pure  mendicity ; 
*  The  smallest  trifle  to  relieve  a  Christiaa, 
And  if  it  like  your  ladyship.'-^ 
Your  man  of  merit,  too,  who  serves  the 

commonwealth. 
Nor  asks  for  a  reouita^ 

Is  a  dumb  beggar. 
And  lets  his  actions  speak  like  sigaa  for  him.

FINE    ARTS. 


£M«5r, 


ROYAL  ACADEMY. 
Mcy  8.  The  aDoual  Exhibition  was  this 
dtj  opened  to  the  public.  The  collection i 
ai-a  whole*  h  highly  creditable  to  the  talenu 
of  .British  artiati,  and  to  the  ipirit  of  the 
nation  which  has  prodaoed  it;  ^oogb,  at 
the  Mune  time,  we  cannot  say  that  it  lur- 
piMf ,  if  indeed  it  eqiuls,  tome  of  the  pre- 
ceding Eshibitiont.  There  U  rather  a  de- 
iielency  of  htitorical  pictures,  which  in  some 
degree  lessens  the  interest  that  visitors  in 
general  feel  fiir  that  style  of  art.  Our  fa- 
voorites  Ecty  and  Wilkie  have,  indeed, 
coodnced  more  than  any  other  artiste  to  the 
iplendonr  of  this  year's  Exhibition,  and 
consequently  to  the  gratification  of  tlie 
pnblio.  Notwithstanding,  we  regret  t»  say 
.that  there  ia  not  one  historical  cam|>osi(ion 
in  the  collection,  which  shines,  *'  velut 
inter  ignes  lana  minores,"  conspicuous  above 
the  rest,  or  which  is  pre-eminently  distin- 
guished for  the  sublime  and  towering  aspi- 
rationa  of  lofty  genius  and  poetic  dariug.  In 
this  respect  the  Exhibition  may  be  said  to 
fall  short  of  tome  of  its  predecessors. 
■  There  is  a  great  number  of  landscapes, 
and  many  of  them  give  unqnestion^e  pr(K>& 
of^profieiency  uad  talent.  There  are  also 
aoiine  interesting  paintings  of  animals,  in 
the  execution  of  which  Mr.  G>oper  shines 
pre-eminent. 

There  is  the  utual  number  of  portraits  \ 
the  most  important  and  interesting  of  which 
aris  from  the  pencils  of  the  late  lamented  Sir 
*ThoBiM  Lawrence,  and  the  Piretident,  Mr. 
She*.  Sir  Thomas's  portraiu  of  Lady  Bel- 
fiuif  the  Anhbithop  qfjirmagh,  the  Earl  qf 
j/berdtent  Thomas  Moore,  esf.  and  Miss 
J^Vy,  although  the  concomitants  of  the 
piMures  are  partly  unfinished,  are  delightful 
specimens  en  unritalled  genius.  Of  four 
portraita  by  Sir  Wm.  Beechey,  that  of  His 
Grace  ike  Duke  qf  Somerset  is  the  most 
striking.  General  Sir  Hetv  DeUrymple  and 
.  the  Marquess  qfChandos,  are  excellent  spe- 
cimens of  Mr.  Jackson's  talents ;  as  are 
the  Earl  of  Surrey ,  the  Duke  of  Norfolk , 
and  Mr.  Lockharl,  of  those  of  Mr.  Pickers- 
gill.  There  are  many  other  clever  portraits 
io  the  room,  from  tne  pencils  of  Messrs. 
Rameay,  R.  T.  Bone,  S.  VV.  Reynolds,  Un- 
nell,  Faulkner,  Wyatt,  Horlstone,  Say, 
Davis,  Tannock,  Partridge,  Clint,  Relnagle, 
Simpion,  Briggs,  Lane,  Thompson,  Lons- 
dale. &o. 

The  miniature!  are  in  great  abundance — 
inideed  almost  to  repletiim  t  and  some  of 
them  are  gems  of  modem  art. 

We  shall  now  proceed  to  notice  some  of 
those  compositions  which  most  prominently 
attracted  our  attention;  but  onr  confined 
litaits  neoeesarily  compel  us  to  be  brief. 

OIUAT  ROOM. 

No.  7.    Pi/ate  f fashing  his  Uoivii*   J.M. 
IV.  Turner. — The  subject  is  from  I7t\\  cWp. 


of  St.  Mstthew,  V.  94.  It  is  a  fDTtonate 
circumstance  for  Mr.  Turner  that  hia  nnne 
has  been  already  established,  otherwise  this 
**  rodis  indigestaque  moles,"  this  inmistrons 
production,  wouU  have  been  suffieienf  to 
blight  his  f«ir  fame.  His  object  has  evidently 
been  to  give  bbldnesi  and  ori^naliij  of  aCyle, 
and  to  throw  up  his  foreground  with  a 
fullness  of  pencil  which  no  o^r  artist 
would  dare  to  attempt.  In  hie  intended 
objects  he  has  utterly  ^!ed  ;  his  gronping 
presents  chaotic  masses;  his  colooring  is 
dauby  ;  and  Pilate  appears  indistinctly  in  the 
distance,  like  Punch  in  a  puppet-shew.  Thn 
whole  has  a  most  execrable  and  ludicroua 
effect,  both  in  design  and  colouring. 

19.  DeU  Scene.  J.  Constable.— A  view 
in  the  park  of  the  Conntefes  of  Dysart,  at 
Halmingliam,  Suffolk.  It  is  a  pleasantit 
romantic  and  picturesque  subject,  though 
there  is  much  nardnets  and  scratchineei  in 
the  execution. 

94.  PoriraU  qf  the  CousUess  of  Jersey. 
The  Baron  Gerard. — ^The  artist  ia  a  fbreignery 
who  evinces  great  skill  and  teeta;  and 
though  there  is  a  coldnesi  in  the  colouring 
which  some  would  condemn,  when  compared 
with  the  surrounding  pictures,  we  cannot 
but  express  our  admiration  at  the  judgment 
the  artist  has  displayed. 

87.  The  Storm,  by  W.  Etty,  from  Psalm 
xxii.  is  a  sad  failure. 

88.  j1  Rumtan  Begi^ar  ffwnan  and  her 
Child,  by  Williams,  is  an  interesting  little 
picture. 

40.  Psyche,  from  the  French  translation 
of  Apoleius,  by  A.  J.  Oliver,  is  pretty  ;  and 
the  darksome  clouds  and  vapoure  from  whioh 
she  ascends,  in  leaving  the  kifernal  lealme, 
are  finely  contrasted  with  her  lovely  and 
aerial  form. 

53.  The  Fall  of  Phaeton.  J.  Ward.— 
The  subject,  which  should  be  serious, 
borders  too  macb  on  Uie  buriesque.  The 
winged  coursers  of  the  sun,  Pyroeis,  Eons, 
iEihoo,  and  Pbiegon,  appear  in  a  Indlcioua 
plight,  considering  that  they  were  of  ethe- 
rial  creation,  and  not  subject,  like  terrestrial 
animals,  to  the  common  laws  of  emvitatiott* 
The  compoiition  is  certainly  the  artist's 
invention ;  it  i^i  not  Ovid*s  story  of  Phaeton. 

56'.  Gil  Bias  discovering  himself  to  Cn- 
milla.  M.  A.  Shec,  jun. — A  pleaaing  and 
well  expressed  representation  of  a  icene  in 
vol.  i.  p.  1 10,  of  Sraollet's  Gil  Bias.  Ca- 
milla is  lying  in  bed,  ia  a  stata  of  great 
alarm,  as  GilDlas,  whose  credulity  she  iiad 
imposed  upou,  is  discovering  himself.  Be- 
hind appears  the  Algu^il  and  his  attendaata 
to  apprehend  her.  The  expression  of  each 
countenance  is  admirable.  The  whole  com- 
position indeed  is  highly  creditable  to  iMa 
young  artist.

tlighttti  iojury. 

Tht  following  are  tome  of  the  public  trials 
that  have  been  under  his  super intendance. 
A  fireman  liaviog  his  hand  inclosed  in  a 
double  asbestos  glove,  and  guarded  in  the 
palm  by  a  piece  of  asbestos  cloth,  laid  hold 
of  a  large  piece  of  red  hot  iron,  carried  it 
ilowly  to  the  distauce  of  1 50  feet*  then  set 
straw  on  fire  by  ity  and  immediately  brought 
it  back  to  the  furnace.  The  liand  was  not 
at  all  injured  in  the  experiment. 

The  second  experiment  related  to  the  de- 
fence of  the  head,  tlie  eves,  and  the  lungs. 
^JThe  fireman  put  on  only  the  asbestos  and 
wire-gauze  cap  and  the  cuirass,  and  held  the 
ahield  before  his  breast.  A  fire  of  shavings 
was  then  lighted,  and  sustained  in  a  very 
large  raised  chafing  dish,  and  the  fireman 
•pproaching  it,  plunged  his  head  into  the 
middle  of  tne  flames,  with  his  face  towards 
the  fuel,  and  in  that  way  went  several  times 
round  the  chafing  dish,  and  for  a  period  of 
above  a  minute  in  duration.    The  experi- 


ment wu  made  several  times,  mA  thoae  wbo 
made  it,  said  they  suffered  oo  uppreesioft  or 
ineonvenience  In  the  met  of  veepiratioo. 

The  third  experiment  was  with  the  com- 
plete apparatus.  Two  rows  of  &ggots,  min- 
gled with  straw,  were  arraagM  vertical  I  j 
against  bars  of  iron,  so  as  to  form  a  passage 
Iwtween  thirty  feet  long  and  sis  fiset  wide. 
Four  such  anmngemanti  were  made,  differ* 
log  in  the  proportion  of  wood  and  stimw,  and 
one  was  with  straw  alone.  Fire  waa  then 
applied  to  one  of  these  double  pileei  atfd  a 
fireman,  invested  in  the  defcnshro  elothusg, 
and  guarded  by  the  ahield,  entefed  hetwaeu 
the  donble  hedge  of  ilamea,  and  travareed 
the  alley  several  times.  The  flajosee  roee  ten 
feet  in  height,  and  joioad  over  hie  head 
Each  passage  was  made  alowly,  aad  ooea- 
pied  nrom  twelve  to  fifben  second*  t  diey 
were  repeated  six  or  eight  times,  and  even 
ofiener,  in  succession,  and  the  firemen  were 
exposed  to  the  almost  constant  action  of  the 
flames  for  the  period  of  a  minnte  and  a  half, 
or  two  minutes,  or  even  nort.

With  airy  grace,  the  dance  aurpriie ; 
Deck'd  like  a  sylph,  she  blooms  a  queen. 
And  wins  all  hearts,  and  thoughts,  asul

Each  glowing  charm  by  rapture  is  improv'd. 
Why  beats  this  breast  ?     'Tis  not  by  envy 
mov'd ; 
Yet,  yet,  young  Hope  still  whispers  heie. 
Some  hour  J  may  as  bright  appear. 

With  eyes  cast  down,  with  bloahing  iear. 

Fresh  beauties  o'er  the  fair  expand ; 
While,  glancing  fire,  the  bridegroom  nmt 
With  tender  pressure  grasps  her  hand. 
Joy  and  confusion  in  her  looks  am  home ! 
Why  beats  this  heart  ?     Tis  not  fay  eivj 
torn; 
Yet,  yet,  Hope  whisfwrs  to  my  breast. 
Thus  fondly  shall  thine  own  be-preaa'<U

[May; 


fiir  tlM  further  oonahknitlon  of  th«  King's 
BMtMgA,  wHh  re»peet  to  the  admioittratioii  of 
Justice  I  when,  uut  some  discussion,  it  was 
resolved  tlist  the  three  additional  Judges 
should  have  5000t  csch  per  onnuin,  and  be 
entitled  to  the  same  retiring  allowances  as 
the  other  Judges. 

'  Mmf\9'  Mr. jUdemumlTiompsonhTought 
hi  a  Bill  to  declare  in  what  cases  the  pos- 
sessions of  Charitable  Institutions  shall  be 
liable  to  the  payment  of  rates  for  local  por- 
poses. 

'  In  a  Committee  of  Ways  and  Means  a 
leeolution  was  passed  for  granting  comiiea- 
sotion  to  the  Welsh  Judge*,  whose  fees  or 
•molumeBts  shall  be  abolished  by  the  Bill 
altering  the  odministratioa  of  ju^ce. 

May  SO.  On  the  order  of  the  day  being 
lead,  for  bringing  op  the  report  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  the  London  and  Birmingham 
Jimotion  Canal  Company,  Mr.  Benson  called 
the  attention  of  the  House  to  the  conduct 
of  Mr.  Thomas  Eyre  Lee,  an  attorney,  and 
iaid,  he  was  satisfied  that  the  Birmingham 
aad  London  Junction  Canal  Company  had 
been  got  up  by  firaud.  He  should,  there - 
ibre,  move,  that  Thomas  Eyre  Lee,  having 
committed  imposition  on  the  House,  be 
called  to  the  Bar  and  reprimanded.  —  Mo- 
tion agreed  to. 

The  Attorney  General  obtained  leave  to 
bring  in  a  Bill  to  repeal  so  much  of  the 
Act  of  60  Geo.  III.  as  relates  to  the  Sen- 
tence of  Banishment  for  the  second  offence, 
and  provide  some  further  remedy  against 
Imbllshing  libels. 

May  81.  The  House  went  into  a  Com- 
mittee on  the  Bekr  Bilu  On  the  clause 
relative  to  licenses  being  read,  Mr.  Mqnek 
contended,  that  were  the  proposed  measure 
passed,  it  would  lead  to  a  general  ruin  of 
those  who  had  embaiked  their  all  in  their 
several  esublishments.  The  Hon.  Member 
moved  a  clause,  to  tlie  eflPect  tliat  all  per- 
sons obtaining  licenses  under  the  new  Act 
should  not  be  at  liberty  to  allow  Beer  to  be 


ooBsnmed  on  the  premises*— Mr.  Slamey. 
said,  that  the  only  mode  of  preveotisg  a  mo-. 
Dopoly   in  say  trade  or  bofiiiees,   was   to 
afford  all   persons  pursuing  such  bosinese. 
equal  advantages.     The  proposition  of  ther 
honourable  mover  of  the  amendment  would 
do  away  in  a  great  measure  with  the  sttb** 
stantial  advanuges  of  the  Bill.  —  Mr.  Bar" 
day  suggested,  that  some  modiAcation  of 
the  proposed  measure  should  be  adopted,  for 
the  purpose  of  relieving  those  wno  ware 
likely  to  suffer  from  thU  Bill.— Mr.^=^leni 
was  decidedly  opposed  to  the  amendmant*. 
as  destructive  or  the  henefiu  of  the  Bill— 
The  Chancettar  qf  the  Exchequer  said^  that 
if  the  proposed  amendment  were  carriodt  it 
would  deprive  the  public  of  all  the  advan- 
tages of  the  Bill.    He  was  aware  that  the 
publicans  would  suffer  by  thb  measuic ;  bnt 
when  their  loss  was  compared  with  the  goodi 
which  the  public  would  derhre  from  it,  it 
could  not  for  oue  moment  stand  in  the  wayi 
of  the  Bill. — Mr.  Maberty  was  an  advocate 
for  the  principle  of  Bill,  but  he  was  not  for 
shutting  out  the  publicans  from  all  chanoe 
of  getting  out  of  their  business  without  in-, 
curring  great  loss. — Mr.  CoUmm  considered 
that  Parliament  would  not  be  dealing  fairlj 
by  the  public,  if  it  admitted  any  restrictions 
into  the  Bill  before  the  House.— Mr.   F, 
Buxton  deprecated  throwing  open  a  trade, 
by  which  persons  of  every  character,  and  of 
no  character,  would  be  allowed  to  sell  been 
— Mr.  Huik'uMin  was  an  advocate  for  the 
measure,  because  it  would  do  away  with  the 
licensing  system,  which  was  an  evil  of  great 
magnitude. — After  a  few  words  from  Mr» 
Brougham,  Lord  Milton,  and  Sir  E,  Knaleh* 
hull,  the  House  divided,  when  the  numbeim 
were  —  For  the  motion,  118;  against  it^ 
143 ;  majority  against  the  clause^  25. 

[The  House  of  CooMnons  was  never  more 
occupied  with  private  bills,  motions,  and 
orders  of  the  day  than  during  the  past 
month,  though  there  was  scarcely  an  aver* 
age  portion  of  publie  business.  So  numerous 
are  the  motions  and  orders  set  down  in  the 
S|ieaker*s  paper,  that  the  9th  of  June  is  tbt 
first  day  that  can  be  found  open.]

which  cost  13y000/.  The  immense  advan- 
tages which  this  district  will  derive,  from  the 
Miity  of  transmisaion»  may  be  anticipated 
from  the  circumstance  that  coals  alooe  win

Ibe  9<L  per  head  m  80  minutes^  the  usual 
time  in  land  conveyance  being  nearly  two 
hours.  At  an  early  hour  the  road  was 
thronged ;  by  eleven  o'clock  the  procesiion 
began  to  form.  Ten  carriages  were  placed 
on  the  rail-road;  the  first  coptain«d  the 
Directors,  imd  the  secimd  the  civic  dignities; 
the  remaining  e^ht  were  filled  witti  ele* 
nntly  dressed  females  and  bands  of  mosie. 
They  were  drawn  at  a  safepece  to  the  engine- 
honse,  from  whence  the  uirectors  and  band 
returned  with  six  waggons,  loaded  with  the 
first  merchandise  delivered  from  the  railway. 
Ten  more  carriages  were  then  linked  to  the 
ether  ten,  and  the  whole  contained  about 
§40  persons,  who  proceeded  mpidly  ovtr  the 
pbin  to  Cbwes  Wood,  where  they  were 
yoked  to  the  engine,  and  drawn  with  great 
pomp  to  Whitstable.

Sir  Scrope  Bernard  Morland  did  not 
rest  his  claim  to  the  respect  and  attach- 
ment of  his  friends  and  tbe  public,  upon 
the  lustre  of  ancestral  honours,  or  tbe 
accumulation  of  wealth  only :  but  en- 
titled hijiDself  to  their  esteem  and  regard 
by  the  suavity  of  his  mild  and  concilia- 
tory manners,  his  punctuality  and  atten- 
tion to  bis  duties  as  a  senator  and  a 
BUigiMtntB,  and  bis  affectionale  and 
JMloiif  •ttacbment  to  h'u  famUy  and  Vui 


dependents.  His  abiliiies  were  of  a  very 
superior  order :  he  was  a  sound  classical 
scholar,  and  possessed  a  fond  of  prac- 
tical knowledge,  which  in  the  various 
relationships  in  which  his  situation  placed 
bim,  was  always  ready  to  be  eommu- 
nicated  with  singular  affability  and 
promptitude.  He  understood,  and  was 
an  admirer  of  the  fine  arts,  and  bis  ad- 
vice and  assistance  upon  every  occasion 
in  which  they  might  be  thought  condu- 
cive to  the  advancement  of  science  or 
the  benefit  of  the  public,  were  dispensed 
with  tbe  liberality  of  tbe  scholar  and  tbe 
urbanity  of  the  gentleman.  It  would  ill 
accord  with  tbe  respect  to  which  such 
qualities  entitled  him,  if  the  writer  of 
this  short  sketch  neglected  to  advert  to 
the  fact,  that  when  Mr.  Lysons  compiled 
that  part  of  tbe  Magna  Britannia  which 
relates  toBuckingbamshire,  tbe  contribu- 
tions of  Sir  Scrope  Bernard  were  amongst 
the  most  important  and  useful  which 
were  afforded  to  bim,  and  that  the  coun- 
tenance and  encouragement  which  he 
has  extended  to  tbe  History  of  that 
County  now  in  progress^  and  speedily 
expected  from  tbe  pen  of  Dr.  Lipscomb^ 
has  been  repeatedly  mentioned  in  terms 
which  reflect  great  praise  on  the  pro- 
moter of  an  object  of  such  public  utility 
and  interest.  Unassuming  and  unosten- 
tatious. Sir  Scrope  pasted  much  of  his 
time,  and  more  particularly  in  the  even»- 
ing  of  his  day,  in  retirement  i  but,  if  be 
felt  no  anxiety  to  distinguish  himself  in 
tbe  bustle  of  public  life,  be  was  ever 
ready  to  devote  bis  services  to  tbe  public 
advantage.  If  be  has  reared  no  proud 
structure  to  attract  the  applause  or  excite 
the  envy  of  his  neighbours,  he  has  at 
least  preserved,  through  the  course  of  a 
lung  life,  in  *<  the  noiseless  tenor  of  his 
way,"  an  unspotted  reputation  or  ho- 
nesty, consistency,  and  sincerity^  and 
has  left  a  name  and  a  character  behind 
him,  which  manv  of  his  contemporaries, 
aspiring  to  the  distinction  of  more  bril- 
liant talents,  might  be  proud  to  bequeath 
to  future  times. 

By  tbe  lady  before- mentioned,  (who 
died  March  4,  1822,  and  by  whose  side 
Sir  Scrope  has  been  buried  on  the  i7tb

[May, 


riniton,  botb  in  IIm  Priaee  of  Wales 
and  Bavfltur,  of  ninety  guni  each ;  from 
whieb  Ust  ship  ht  wm  pronoted  on  the 
1.4th  of  September,  1780.  to  the  rank  of 
Lieutenant. 

In  1781,  he  became  a  junior  lieute- 
nant in  the  Namttr»  under  the  eommand 
of  Captain  Sawyer,  and  early  in  Febru- 
ary, 1789,  the  Namur  beinf  selected 
(aud  the  command  devolving  on  Cap- 
tain Ro^rt  Faniba;nre)  to  Join  a  squa- 
dron of  twelve  sail  of  the  line,  under  the 
orders  of  Sir  George  Rodney,  to  rein- 
foree  the  Fleet  in  the  West  Indies,  in 
order  to  cope  with  the  French  force  in 
tlisse  seas,  and.  arrtrinf  after  a  quick 
milage  at  St.  Lttcia*  barely  in  time  to 
sain  over  the  enei^.  that  decided  tIc- 
tqi;y  which  took  place  on  the  9th  and 
ISth  of  April.  Dqrin|;  these  battles, 
dlir  Jfmes,  then  onlir  eighteen  years  of 
m,  acted  as  fourth  lieotenant  of  the 
Namur,  whose  station  in  the  line  was  se- 
<^d  to  the  Commander  in  Chief,  astern 
of  the  flag  ship,  and  the  next  ship  who 
passed  througo,  and  accomplished  the 
separation  of,  and  effected  the  breaking, 
of  the  enemy's  line,  from  which  new 
qrstero  the  victory  became  more  deei- 
siVe,  and  the  result  more  important. 

Toe  steafiy  and  brave  conduct  of  Lieu- 
tenant Morris  during  these  engage- 
me;itf,  called  dUUtuUi^  for  the  praise  of 
alt  on  board,  and  ensured  him  the  es- 
teem and  friendship  ever  after  of  his 
gallani  commander,  Captain  Fanshawe. 
The  war  thus  gloriously  terminatin|P9 
wf  4nd  our  young  officer  employed  m 
the  peace  as  lieutenant  of  the  Arrogant^ 
and  other  ships,  at  Chatham,  and  at 
other  ports,  until  the  equipments  of 
the  several  armaments  which  took  place 
with  the  Dutch,  Russians,  and  Spaniards, 
in  1787.  1788,  and  1790,  when  we  find 
htm  again  selected  by  his  firm  and  dis- 
tinguished friend.  Admiral  Barrington, 
who,  on  the  arrangement  of  the  dispute 
with  the  latter  powers  in  1790,  caused 
him  to  be  promoted  from  the  Royal 
George  of  100  guns,  as  second  liente- 
nant,  to  the  raiu^  of  commander ;  soon 
lifter  which  he  hoisted  his  pendant  on 
board  the  Pluto  flre-ship,  on  the  New- 
foundland station,  where  he  captured, 
after  a  smart  action  of  firteen  minutes, 
the  Lutine  French  privateer,  of  16  guns, 
and  70  men.  He  obtained  post  rank  in 
^e  Boston  33,  Oct.  7,  1793 )  and,  sub- 
sequently to  bis  return  to  England  in 
1795,  was  actively  employed  in  the 
Channel,  and  on  the  coasts  of  Spain  and 
Portugal,  where  he  captured  the  follow- 
iiys  privateers :  TEufant  de  la  Patria,  of 
I9  guiis  and  130  men ;  el  Principe  de 
'as»  of  SO  guns  and  100  men  ;  St.  Ber- 
W^»  o^  IS  gum  and  75  men ;  and  the 


Haiard,  of  8  guns  and  £0  men.  lis 
was  afterwards  removed  to  the  Lively 
frigate,  in  which  he  had  the  miafortune 
to  be  wrecked  near  Cadai,  about  th# 
early  part  of  1798. 

In  the  summer  of  1799  Captain  Hoiv 
vii  was  appointed  to  the  Phs«tonoff  3% 

Kns,  in  wliich  he  that  year  conveyed  to 
nstaatinople  the  Barl  of  Elgin,  thea 
sent  ambassador  to  the  Porte.  During 
the. spring  of  1800  he  was  employed  oq 
the  coast  of  Genoa,  in  coi\}unctioa  with 
the  Austrian  army.,  under  General  d'Ott  t 
and  in  the  month  of  May,  wbea  the 
French  burnt  their  magasincs  at  Atae- 
iio,  and  retired  to  Port  Maurice,  ht 
seiaed  twenty  corn  ▼easels,  together  with 
a  depSi  of  arms,  and  galled  the  eneay'i 
rear  through  several  miles  of  their  iw> 
treat.  In  October  the  boatt  of  the  Phae- 
ton captured  the  Spanish  polacre-ciggad 
ship,  San  Joseph,  of  14  gunsi  and  14 
May,  1801,  with  those  of  the  Naud* 
eaptured  TAleudia,  and  destroyed  el  R^ 
poso,  Spanish  armed  packets.  Early  ia 
1802,  Captain  Morris  arrived  at  Fotta* 
mouth  with  despatches  ffum  Lord  Keith, 
Commande^in-chief  of  the  Mediiorra- 
nean  fleet. 

On  the  renewal  of  hoittlitMS»  in  180S« 
he  was  nominated  to  the  comoiaDd  of 
tha  Sea  Fendhles,  between  Blackwatec 
and  Stour ;  and,  towards  the  latter  end 
of  the  same  year,  we  find  him  in  the 
Leopard  of  50  guns,  from  whence  Iw 
went  to  the  Colossus,  74,  the  eommand 
of  which  ship  he  retained  until  the  au- 
tumn of  1808.  The  Colossus  formed 
part  of  Lord  Nelson's  fleet  in  the  mm- 
guinary  combat  off  Cape  Trafalgar}  an4 
on  that  memorable  occasion  sustained  a 
fi^r  greater  loss  than  any  other  British 
ship,  having  had  40  killed  and  160 
wounded;  among  the  latter  was  bet 
gallant  Commander.      For  his  distia- 

Suished  conduct  on  that  mensorable 
ay.  Captain  Morris,  in  eommon  with 
his  brother  officers,  received  a  gold  me- 
dal, and  the  thanks  of  both  homsea  of 
parliament. 

Captain  Morris  subsequently  eom- 
manded  the  Formidable  of  98  guns.  He 
received  the  honourable  appointment  d 
a  colonelcy  of  Royal  Marines,  Jnly  81, 
1810;  and  became  a  Rear-Admirai, 
Aug.  1,  1811.  His  flag  was  hoisted  on 
board  the  Vigo,  as  second  in  command 
in  the  North  Seas :  and  here  it  may  he 
recorded,  that  this  appoint  oMnt  was 
conferred  early  in  January,  1813(  when 
Sir  James  proceeded  to  the  above-myen- 
tinned  station,  where  his  flbg  continued 
flying  till  the  middle  of  the  ensuing  year. 
For  a  long  period  of  this  time  the  entire

phet of  Paddington,  Is  an  object  of  such 
novel  appearance,  that  we  are  almost  at 
a  loss  for  words  to  express  our  surprise, 
and  indeed  concern,  on  the  occasion! 
What  a  strange  alliance  is  here  between 
knowledge,  taste,  and  wit — and  ignor- 
ance, Infatuation,  and  perhaps  insanity. 
'*  Who  would  not  laugh,  if  such  a  mau 

there  be  ? 
Who  would  not  weep  if  Atticus  were 
he?" 
By  this  foolish  business,  and  the  dis- 
solution of  1796>  Mr.  Halhed*s  public 
career  was  dosed,  and  be  has  since  lived 
in  retirement. 

A  portrait  of  him,  drawn  from  the 
life,  by  J.  Cruikshank,  and  engraved  by 
White  in  8vo,  was  published  by  Croiby 
in  1795.

brated Francesco  Tomich,  and  others.

ber of  most  of  the  orchestras  in  London, 
particularly  of  the  King's  Theatre,  and 
the  Concert  of  Ancient  Music.  As  a 
piano-forte  teacher  he  was  emlnentlv 
skilful,  and  as  a  composer  he  waa  nsucn

In  1786  Mr.  Sanders  was  minister  of  the 
English  ehnreh  at  Oottenburg ;  but  about 
Ibrty^ears  since  returned  to  tM  metropolis  1 
whcie  he  officiated  as  a  laborious  curate  till 
bit  death.    He  was  in  1794  curate  of  St. 
Alban's  Wood-street,  and  lecturer  of  St. 
Olnve's,  Old  Jewry ;  he  afterwards  was  curate 
of  St.  Faith's;  and  died  a  city  eumte  in 
Brand-street-hill.      Mr.  Sanders   was  also 
leeood  master  of  the  free  grammar  school 
of  Sc  Olave,  Southwark.    Mr.  Butler,  ten. 
wrote  **  the  History  and  Antiquities  of  Shen- 
alOBet  Staffordshire,"  which  was  published 
•Iter  hb  death  by  his  son^  in  1794,  and  to 
which  he  prefixed  a  short  account  of  his 
fiober  and  his  family.    This  work  is  now 
vory  rarely  to  be  met  with.    From  this  ae- 
•ovnt  it  apreart,  that  it  was  at  his  mother's 
tamest  wisd  Mr.  Butler  was  bred  to  the 
mbistiy*  The  evening  before  she  departed, 
•he  desired  to  see  her  only  child,  who  was 
ttot  five  years  old ;  after  giving  him  some 
Important  instructions  for  his  foture  life ,  it 
was  her  express  order,  that  he  should  choose 
•0  other  profession  than  aminister  of  Christ} 
tKttt  be  nis  fortune  ever  so  small,  he  should 
disregard  lucre,  care  of  preferments,  8cc.  for 
that  thai  employment,  properly  discharged, 
was  superior  to  any  other  in  the  worid.    Mr. 
Saaders  was  formerlv  an  active  manager  of 
^  Royal  Humane  Sodety>  and  frequently 
advocated  the  oauie  of  that  excellent  charity 
in  the  pulpit. 


Thomas  Collins,  Esq.  F.S  A. 

May  8.  Aged  95,  Thomas  Collins,  Esq. 
of  Bemers  Street,  and  of  Finchley,  Middle- 
sex, r.d.A* 

If  a  long  life,  spent  in  the  exercise  of  all 
^  duties  of  society,  claim  a  record,  this 
memorial  cannot  better  be  merited  than  by 
the  late  Mr.  Collins.     His  career  in  lire 
commenced  m  business ;  he  undertook,  with 
the  late  Mr.  White  and  others,  the  con- 
ttnoation  of  the  excellent  houses  in  Harley 
Street,  Marylebone,    which    they  accom- 
plbhed  successfully.     In  the  pursuits  of  bu- 
siness he  did  not  nefflect  the  cultivation  of 
his    mmd,  so  that  be  became  a  desirable 
member  of  the  society  of  Dr.  Johnson,  Sir 
William  Chambers,  the  architect  (to  whom 
he  was  executor),  Mr.  Baretti,  Major  Ren- 
nell.  Rev.  Dr.  Burney,  Mr.  Strahan,  Mr. 
Nichols,  and  others.     He  was  foreman  of 
the  Jury  at  the  trial  of  Lord  George  Gor- 
don, and  the  writer  of  this  article  has  beard 
the  late  Lord  Erskine  express  how  much  he 
4>wed  to  his  firmness  and  discrimination  in 
that  important  event.     He  afterwards  be- 
eame  an  active  magistrate  of  the  county 
of  Middlesex,  and  the  fistber  of  the  vestry 
of  St.  Mai^lebone. 

Mr.  Collins    had   the  happiness   to  be 

mited  to  a  Udy  whose  views  in  life  were 

fuUa  accordant  with  hb  own;  she  lived  till 

the  end  of  the  yoar  1884,  a  br'tgbl  e&»mv^« 

ofoonjugal  aihisiion  and  urbanity.

I.  L.  rtmtrkt,  '*  In  refireocc  to  the  ob- 
•errtttioot  of  our  Corretpondcnt  in  p.  415, 
on  the  Jug  found  in  Irelend,  it  may  be  noted 
that  the  brown  were  Just  or  pitchen  used 
in  the  north  of  Scoilend  neve  a  head  with  a 
flowing  beard  in  the  fore  part,  from  whioh 
they  are  always  denomiaaud  '  creybeardt.' 
Tlie  traditional  account  which  1  have  heard 
of  tliis  omaraent  it,  that  it  originated  with 
the  Dutch,  who  meant  it  to  reprceent  the 
Duice  d'Alva,  and  tome  lines  are  prasenred 
concerning  it  :— 

'  I1ie  Duke  de  Alva's  beard  and  fitce 
The  Dutch  do  on  their  pitchen  place. 
Intending  it  for  a  disgrace,*  &c.*' 

C.  L.  observet,  "In  vol.  xcriii.  1.  tlO, 
your  Correnpondent  L.  W.  speaking  of  the 
Tipping  family  f  aski  *  what  became  of  Dame 
Mary  Tipping,  daughter  of  Sir  John  Lear 
of  Lyndridge,  Devon,  after  the  death  of  Sir 
Thomas  her  huslMod  ?'  She  subsequently 
married  a  Mr.  John  Comynt  of  Wood  in 
the  parish  of  Bithopsteigntun  (in  which  pa- 
rish Lyndridge  is  situate),  and  I  have  no 
doubt  was  huried  there;  bnt  I  cannot  posi- 
tively assert  the  latter  fact ;  nor  do  I  know 
if  she  left  any  issue  of  that  second  marriage." 
With  regard  to  tlie  wife  of  the  late  Sir 
Bliab  Harvey,  after  what  we  stated  last 
month,  another  correspondent,  still  incre- 
dulous, has  sent  a  repetition  of  the  asser- 
tion that  the  late  Marchioness  of  Bucking- 
ham ''was  the  sole  lesitiroate  child  and 
heiress  of  Earl  Nugent  by  Lady  Berkeley." 

.  For  the  satisfaction  of  L.  we  have  referred 
to  the  '*  Memoirs  of  the  Maigravine  of 
Aospach,"  and  are  thus  enabled  to  confirm 
our  former  sUtemeut  by  the  good  authority 
of  a  sister  of  the  party  in  question.    The 

.  Margravine  gives  an  account  in  p.  9,  of  all 
her  mother's  children  by  the  Earl  of  Berke- 
ley, and  says  she  **  produced  at  one  birth 
three  children,  females,  who  were  bom  at 
Berkeley  Castle,  but  lived  only  a  few  hours 
after   being  christened."     The   only  Lady 

^  Louisa  Berkeley  of  that  generation  was  one 

■  of  these.  Again,  in  p.  1 0,  the  Margravine 
mentions  her  mother  s  second  marrisge  to 
Earl  Nueent,  and  adds^  «  by  whom  she  had 
two  daugnters."  And  again,  in  p.  48,  *'  At 
one. of  these  balls,  I  saw  mv  father-in-law 
[stepfather],  and  told  him  I  had  named  my 

.  two  bride- maids,  and  they  were  my  young 
sisters"  As  the  Margravine  was  herself 
the  youngest  daughter  of  Lord  Berkeley, 
these  were  of  course  her  mother's  two 
daughters  by  Lord  Nugent,  and  of  these 
Lady  Louisa  Harvey  was  one.— -The  other 
remnrks  of  L.  shall  be  attended  to  hereafter.

J.  J.  W.  says,  "  When  Dr.  Parr  heard 
Fox  in  the  House  of  Commons,  heexclain* 
ed,  '  Hsd  I  followed  any  other  profession,  I 
might  have  been  sitting  by  the  side  of  thas 
illustrious  statesman  ;  I  should  have  had  all 
his  powers  of  argument, — all  Erskine's  clo* 

?uenco, — and  all  Hargnure's  law.'  (Barker'a 
krriana,  vol.  i.  p.  498.)  This  eioJamatimi 
of  Parr*s  qaay  be  compared  with  the  conoht- 
sion  of  the  following  splendid  passage  which 
occurs  in  an  oration  intended  to  have  been 
delivered  by  Sir  William  Jones  before  Um 
University  of  Oxford,  bnt  which,  strange  to 
sapr,  is  not  inserted  in  the  collected  edition 
of  his  works:  *The  miserable  tiroes  in 
which  he  [Milton]  lived,  deprived  this  grant 
man  of  the  glory  which  he  must  have  ao* 
quired,  if  his  genius  had  found  room  to  ex- 
pand itself  in  a  free  air  and  a  fiivonnble  efi* 
mate;  for,  had  he  flourished  in  AtheiH» 
while  Athens  herself  was  independent^  ho 
would  have  rivalled  Sophocles  in  poetry, 
Demosthenes  in  eloquence,  and  evto  So- 
crates in  virtue.' "

Death  of  hit  Majetiy  King  George  the  Fourth, 


Foarth,  after  a  duration  of  ten  years 
and  fire  months,  in  addition  to  a  Re- 
gency of  near  nine  years,*— a  period  of 
I  time  the  most  glorious  in  the  annals  of 
our  history ;  during  which  this  country 
has  arrived  at  the  highest  pinnacle  of 
political  greatness/  and  been  dislin- 
jruished,  above  all  other  nations,  for 
I  me  transcendent  splendour  of  her  arts, 
and  the  glory  of  her  arms.  We  may 
safely  affirm,  without  fear  of  contra- 
diction, that  the  gloom  which  the 
death  of  the  King  difitised  all  over  the 
metropolis  has  never  been  exceeded,  if 
wa  except  the  melancholy  and  unex- 

Kicted  death  of  his  late  Majesty's  be- 
ved  daughter.  The  aflection  felt  for 
the  Sovereign  had  been  sufficiently 
testified  by  tne  anxious  inquiries  during 
his  Majesty's  illness;  and  their  respect 
for  his  memory  was  manifested  by  the 
I  abstinence  from  all  except  necessary 
business,  by  the  closing  of  shops^  tolU 
ingof bells,  &c. 

'  Dn  the  intelligence  of  the  melan- 
choly event  arriving  in  Liondon,  a  Ca- 
binet Council  was  immediately  siim- 
[moned;  and  the  necessary  bulletins 
and  public  despatches,  announcing  the 
King's  demise,  were  issued.  Sum- 
monses were  sent  to  the  members  of 
the  Privy  Council  to  attend  at  St. 
James's  Palace,  for  the  purpose  of  ar- 
ranging the  forms  of  Proclamation  of 
the  new  Sovereign,  and  their  taking 
the  customary  oaths  of  allegiance,  &c. 
Between  eleven  and  twelve  o'clock, 
the  new  King,  accompanied   by  his 

goeen,  arrived  at  St.  James's  Palace 
Dm  Bushy  Park.  Shortly  after  the 
Archbishop  of  Canterbury  and  the 
Bishop  of  London  proceeded  to  the 
Palace,  and  had  an  audience  of  his 
Majesty,  to  whom  they  administered 
the  oaths  taken  by  the  Sovereign  on 
his  accession  to  the  Throne.  All  the 
Cabinet  Ministers  afterwards  proceed- 
ed, in  full  state,  and  dressed  m  their 
court  costumes,  to  the  Palace,  to  con- 
gratulate his  Majesty  on  his  accession, 
and  to  deliver  up  to  him  the  seals  of 
their  respective  offices,  all  of  which  he 
was  graciously  pleased  to  return.  These 
ceremonies  being  completed,  his  Ma- 
jesty returned  to  oushy  Park. 

The  House  of  Lords  was  summoned 
to  attend  at  eleven  o'clock,  when  the 
Lord  Chancellor  and  several  Peers  took 
the  usual  oaths  of  allegiance  and  fide- 

•  HiB  Majesty  was  appointed  Pnnce  iU- 
fgeot  Feb,  6,  1811  j  and  succeeded  u>  t.Yia 
throne  Jmn,  t9,   18S0. 


Jit^  to  the  new  Kings  aoder  the  title  of 
Vf  illiam  the  Fourth.  The  same  cere- 
mony was  gone  through  in  the  House 
of  Commons.  Both  Houses  adjourned 
to  Monday  morning,  in  order  that  the 
necessary  oaths  might  be  administered 
to  those  members  who  bad  been  al- 
ready sworn. 

On  Monday,  the  ceremony  of  pro- 
claiming His  Majesty  William  the 
Fourth  took  place.  The  Heralds  and 
their  officers  were  at  the  King's  Pa- 
lace at  ten  o'clock,  when  the  Ring  of 
Arms  read  the  Proclamation  signed  at 
the  first  Court  of  Hia  Maj^ty.    The 

f»rocessiou  then  moved  ott  io  the  fol- 
owing  order  :•—

The  Proclamation  was  read  again  at 
Charing-cross ;  the  procession  then 
moved  up  the  Strand  towards  Temple- 
bar ;  the  Bar  was  shut,  and  not  opened 
until  a  Herald  knocked  at  the  gate, 
and  demanded  admission  in  the  name 
of  our  Sovereign  Lord  King  William 
IV.,  in  order  to  proclaim  nis  being 
called  to  the  Throue.  The  sate  then 
was  partially  opened  by  one  o?  the  City 
Marshals,  who  presented  the  Herald 
to  the  Lord  Mayor,  who  was  in  wait- 
ing to  receive  him  within  the  gate. 
His  Lordship  then  ordered  the  gates  to 
be  thrown  open,  and  the  cavalcade  en- 
tered. The  urocession  halted  at  the 
corner  of  Cnancery-lane,  where  the 
King  of  Arms  again  made  proclama- 
tion. The  procession  then  moved  on 
down  Fleet-street,  followed  by  the

the  clcm»  as  if  thete  were  their  ^- 
neril  principles.  [The  biihops  who 
oompoted  the  lacred  lyood  under  the 
venerable  patriarchs  Cyril  and  Gre- 

firy*  RKMt  of  whom  hare  fallen  by 
arkish  butchery,  joined  to  the  purest 
morals  the  most  enlightened  philo- 
tophy;  and  they  were  sincerely  de* 
.  iirous  of  seeing  tne  two  churches  ttP' 
tfiinate  their  differences  by  an  union 
which  is  generally  desired,  which  the 
times  have  facilitated,  but  which  only 
the  fear  of  the  Turks  impedes.] 

It  is  ceruin  that  the  common  people 
hive  no  idea  of  Christian  morality,  yet 
ihey  regard  as  infidels  all  who  are  not 
of  their  communion.  Hence  more 
worship  is  paid  to  an  imagge  than  to  the 
sacrament  of  the  Eucharist.  For  in* 
attnoe,  there  is  an  image  of  the  Virgin 
which  is  esteemed  miraculous ;  when 
the  prince,  or  any  ^at  nobleman,  is 
ill,  a  fine  carriage  is  sent  to  bring  it 
from  the  monastery  of  Serandari,  where 
it  is  kept ;  the  abbot  mounts  the  car- 
riage, which  is  sunounded  with  lighted 
torehes,  resting  the  image  on  his  bo- 
•om  I  if  the  invalid  is  of  inferior  de- 
gree, a  monk  in  a  chariot  conducts  a 
smaller  image  of  the  same  form ;  but 
if  it  is  a  poor  man  that  is  sick,  a  com- 
mon monk  carries  a  little  picture  on 
foot.  In  the  streets  where  this  imaee 
u  carried,  every  one  prostrates  himself 
with  a  reverence  which  is  always  in 
proportion  to  its  sise. 

The  Eucharist,  however,  is  carried 
on  foot,  in  a  little  coffer,  by  a  priest, 
a  child  precedes  it  with  a  dirty  lantern, 
and  no  attention  is  attracted  by  it. 
[According  to  Greek  rites,  it  is  com- 
posed of  bread  and  consecrated  wine, 
and  not  of  a  wafer  like  the  Catholic 
one.]  The  priest  makes  no  scruple  of 
Koing  into  a  house  to  gossip,  and  even 
into  a  tavern  to  drink.  Mass  is  said 
in  the  churches  only  once,  and  at  day- 
IwAk,  except  in  the  chapels  belonging 
to  the  princes,  or  where  tni'matins  are 
said.  There  is  a  prodigious  number  of 
festivals,  and  in  ^yallachia  even  the 
feast  of  the  Devil  is  celebrated  on  the 
second  Wednesday  afWr  Easter,  with 
an  infinity  of  superstitions. 

Credulity  is  not  confined  to  the  vul- 

er,  but  people  of  cultivated  minds 
lieve  in  sorcery  and  divination,  and 
in  all   that  the  roguery  of  man  has 
ever  invented.     They  are  persuaded 
diMt  there  an  penons  so  malicious,  that 
ihey  can  dry  op  a  tree  by  fixing  \V\t\t

eyes  upon  it,  and  e%'en  strike  a  man 
with  sickncM.  They  do  not  love  to 
hear  their  children,  their  horses,  or 
any  other  favourite  object  praised  too 
highly  I  *  and  hang  garlic-tops  from 
their  necks  as  an  efficacious  antidote 
against  witchcraft.  If  any  one  hap- 
pens to  praise  such  an  object  with  ear- 
nestness, they  entreat  him  to  spit  upon 
it.  This  is  common  in  the  Levant. 
One  of  the  most  absurd  exhibitions, 
and  which  serves  the  priests  best,  is 
that  of  the  Vampires.  They  assert, 
that  a  corpse  which  is  not  immediately 
tainted  preserves  a  S|)ark  of  life,  and 
that  the  soul  is  not  yet  parted,  nor  can 
be,  if  the  individual  had  incurred  an ' 
ecclesiastical  censure,  whether  openly 
or  tacitly)  that  during  the  night  the 
soul  quits  her  tomb,  and  seeks  to  do 
all  the  harm  she  can  amon^  the  living. 
The  first  proof  or  suspicion  of  this 
beinx  the  case,  is  when  the  earth, 
which  covers  the  body,  trembles  |  then 
the  priest,  his  wife,  and  at  length  the 
whole  neighbourhood,  as  being  the 
most  exposed,  begin  to  spread  the  re- 
port, and  call  on  the  relations  of  the 
defunct,  who  are  obliged  to  pay  the 
priest  for  disinterring  the  corpse,  and 
delivering  it  from  the  excommunica- 
tion, ir  it  is  found  entire,  they  place 
it  against  a  wall,  and  it  often  happens 
that  the  bodjr  falls  to  dust  while  the 
priest  is  exorcising  it.  If,  on  the  con- 
trary, it  is  slow  in  decaying,  or  remains 
upright,  the  assistants  redouble  their 
complaints  and  bowlings,  in  the  per- 
suasion that  the  excommunication 
which  rests  on  it  is  most  weighty  and 
of  the  first  degree ;  a  priest  of  higher 
order  is  then  sent  for,  and  sometimes 
a  bishop,  by  whom  the  miracle  is  per- 
formed. As  the  nobles  are  buried  under 
tombs  of  stone,  they  are  probably  free 
from  the  imputation  of  vampiricism, 
and  their  corpses  are  never  exposed  to 
this  inconvenience ;  it  is  the  captains 
of  police,  and  the  dealers  in  provisions, 
who  are  most  so ;  for  persons  of  their 
calling  are  detested  by  the  people,  and 
their  ill-gotten  wealth  seems  to  devolve, 
in  some  just  proportion  at  least,  u|>oii 
the  clergy.

Thomas  GaUker  was  a  man  of  very 
en traordi nary  erudition,  and  of  fine  ta- 
lents at  a  ciiiic  i  but  like  other  men  of 
much  learniog,  he  had  his  favourite

ill  origin  and  use  lo  be  strictly  equiva- 
lent to  CV;  accordingly,  QVl  with

notion  (uf  which  a  good  account  ma;

Mr.  Urban*  June  12, 

Fl  the  following  pusa^  of  Horace — 
^'  Meo  ium  patter  in  arf,"  (Epiat. 
ii.  lib.  Sy)  there  appears  some  difficulty. 
The  words  occur,  it  will  be  remember- 
ed, in  the  opening  of  the  Epistle,  in  the 
Vlory  of  the  slaTe-dealer,  who,  after 
commending  in  the  highest  terns  iht 
tjualtficitions  of  the  boy  in  person, 
obedience  to  command,  and  education, 

''  LitenUit  Chrseis  imbutut,  idoneus  artl 
CaiUbet"^ 

goes  on  to  say,  in  reference  to  himself, 
who  is  thus  dexterously  making  hia 
bargain, 

*'  Malta  fidem  promisM  Itnot  s  ubi  pleoiiu 

•equ* 
landftty  veaalet  qui  rult  extmdere  mcreet. 
Ret  urget  me  nulla :  meo  mm  pauper  ta 


4»re. 


The  meaning  of  the  expression  seems 
to  be,  that,  "  although  poor,  I  am  in- 
debted to  no  one,  and  able  to  keep  out  of 
debt,  and  therefore  in  a  manner  rich.^ 
Perhaps  the  familiar  phrase,  when  ap- 
plied to  a  man  of  humble  means,  of 
living  an  Ait  own  property ,  may  be 
nearer  than  any  other  expression  in 
English  to  the  Latin  phrase,  although 
by  no  means  comprehending  the  exact 
meaning.  The  Oelphin  note  on  thit 
passage  is, 

*<  Nullum  «•  alienum  habeo  ;  nihil  d«Wo 
cuiouam.  Cic.  pro  Roscio  comedo.  Lo- 
euplet  erat :  nihil  debebat :  in  salt  nummis 
▼eriabatur." 

The  meum  tes  seems  to  be  used  in 
direct  contrast  to  the  cbs  a/tefui»,  and 
to  intimate  that  a  freedom  from  all 
debt  may  be  thus  comparative  wealth. 
Francis  translates  the  hnea  I  have  tran- 
Bcribcd  thus: 

"  He  sinks  in  credit  who  attempts  to  raise 
His  ronal  warti  with  ovor-ratina  praisa, 
To  put  them  off  hia  hands.    My  wants  an 

none, 
Mj  stock  is  liule,  bot  that  stock  my  own." 

And  gives  this  note  in  explanation, 

*'  Meo  turn  ptuper  la  are."  A  klad  of 
proverbial  expression,  nor  possiUe  to  W 
translated.  Cicero  sajs  of  RoMuua,  '<  Debt- 
bat  ?  imo  in  snis  nummis  versabatur." 

It  certainly  seema  a  prorerbial  exprai- 
sion,  but  probably  some  of  your  learn- 
ed corretpondenti  may  be  able  to  throw 
a  little  more  light  upon  It  Uum  the 
Dotea  I  have  tranacribed*

The  Chapel  of  the  Maudlin  appears 
by  the  following  entry  in  the  Cnurch-

been  in  existence,  and  used  1  suppose 
for  divine  service,  in  the  year  1072. 
"October  £0, 1672,  then  collected  at  the 
Maudlin  Chappell,  towardes  the  reliefe

St.  John's  Chapel. 

On  the  south  bank  of  the  Tavy, 
under  a  steep  and  woody  declivity,  near 
Guile  or  Abbey-bridge,  stood  St.  John's 
Chapel,  a  dependency  of  ihe  Abbey, 
occupied,  I  believe,  by  a  solitaiy  monk 
or  hermit,  to  whose  custody  this  ora- 
tory was  consigned. 

A  hne  natural  spring  rises  in  this 
spot  from  the  earth  (a  circumstance 
which  seems  to  have  been  usually 
sought  for  in  chusing  the  site  of  an 
hermitage ),t  and  falU  into  the  Tavy.

h  said  to  have  been  born ;  the  hoate

HURDWICK. 

Hurdwiek  was  the  capital  manor  of 
the  Barony  of  that  name,  which  con- 
tained sixteen  knights*  feet  and  a  half, 
and  which  gave  title  to  the  whole  hun- 
dred. This  was»  I  suspect,  the  resi- 
dence of  Ordgar,  the  founder  of  the 
Abb^.  It  were  too  fanciful,  perhaps, 
to  conclude,  that  its  name  is  a  contrac- 
tion of  C^iwick,  or  Ordgar*s-wick, 
In  right  of  this  barony,  the  Abbat 
of  Tavistock  claimed  the  privileges  of 
view  of  frankpledge,  gallows,  pillory, 
assize  of  bread  and  beer,  which  were 
allowed  on  an  inquisition  of  quo  war- 
ranto held  in  the  time  of  Edward  I.* 
At  Hurdwiek  there  remains,  or  re- 
mained till  iately,a  fine  oldgoibic  bam* 

MORWBL  HousB, 
A  quadrangular  stone  building  with 
a  court  in  the  centre,  is  an  excellent 
specimen  of  the  domestic  architecture 
of  the  latter  end  of  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury. It  is  traditionally  styled  the 
hunting-seat  of  the  Abbats  of  Tavi- 
stock, and  was  probablv  the  capital 
manse,  or  grange,  of  the  manors  of 
Morwell  and  Morwel-ham.  which  be- 
longed to  the  Abbey.  This  edifice 
contains  a  small  chapel  for  the  cele- 
bration of  reli|(ious  offices  bv  the  monka 
who  were  resident  at  the  Grange.

be  divided,  b^  way  of  pension,  among 
four  poor  widows  in  an  hospital,  or 
alms-nouse,  at  Tavistock.  This  build-

of  the  eighteenth  century.'f

enabled  to  illustrate  iheie  notca  with

Caley  by  that  ingenious  arttti.  The 
impression  of  the  seal  here  repreteuted 
is  attached  to  the  original  deed  of  sur- 
render in  the  Augmentatton  Office^ 
which  I  have  before  noticed. 

The  virgin  and  child  are  represented 
under  a  Gothic  canopy,  and  on  either

Among  the  persons  of  note  who 
were  naiivcs  of  Tjvistock,  I  should 
have  mentioned  Sergeant  John  Mny- 
nard,  dciignated  by  Clarendon  "  as  a 
lawyer  of  great  eminence,  who  had 
loo  much  complied  wilh  the  irregular 
and  unjust  proceedings  of  ihc  Porlia- 
ineni,''and  described  as  opposing  ihem, 
when  their  meaaure*  became  illegally 
subversive  of  the  royal  prerogative. 
He  wai  afietwardt  committed  to  the 
Tower  by  Cromwell,  for  demanding, 
as  Countel  in  the  Court  of  Kin;^s 
Bench,  the  release  of  one  obnoxious  to 
the  Protector,  who  like  all  factious 
champions  of  liberly,  proved  a  real 
tyranl  when  "  hit  power  wa)  well  pot 
on,"  and  sent  for  the  Judges,  telhoz 
tlicm,  with  a  eevete  reprimand  and 
threat.  "  that  ihey  should  not  auOer 
lawyers  loprafe  what  it  would  not  be-

Browne,  ihe  author  of  "  Britannia's 
Paiiorals,"  has  celebrated  some  of  the 
wild  and  romantic  scenery  of  Tavi- 
stock, his  native  place. 

Some  colleclions  for  "  a  Civil  and 
Monastic  History  of  the  Town  and

Mr.  Urban,  June  10. 

MY  " local  habilalioD'*  it  in  that 
part  of  the  kingdom  which  Mr. 
Edmund  Waller,  in  his  Elegy  on  the 
Death  of  my  Lady  Rich,  haa  thought 
fit  thus  to  anathematize : 

.**  May  thoea  already  cunt  Etaeaian  pfauni , 
Where  batty  death   and   pining   tickneta 

reigns, 
Prove  at  a  detert,  and  none  there  make  ttay 
But  tavage  beatta,  and  men  at  wild  at  they ! 

Although  it  may  be  said  certainly 
that  the  county  has  been  greatly  im- 
proTed  since  this  stigma  was  fixed  upon 
It, 'yet  it  is  most  probable  that  the 
"courtly  Waller"  knew  very  little  of 
this,  to  him,  Boeotian  district,  which. 
If  it  cannot  boast  of  scenes  possessing 
high  romantic  interest,  has  many  spots 
of  great  amenity  and  pastoral  beauty; 
and  if  we  except,  perhaps,  that  part  of 
the  county  contiguous  to  the  estuary  of 
the  Thames,  so  far  from  being  un- 
healthy, is  very  salubrious. 

Like  that  of  the  worthy  Lancelot  An- 
drewes.  Bishop  of  Winchester,  walk- 
ing is  my  favourite  relaxation,*  and  in 
my  ramoles  I  can  answer  for  having 
visited  many  interesting  objects  sur- 
rounding my  own  house,  not  the  least 
of  which  are  those  considerable  re- 
mains of  the  ancient  forest  that  in  for- 
mer ages  nearly  overspread  the  county, 
but  which  is  now  suodivided  into  the 
forests  of  Waltham,  Eppiog,  and 
Hainault.    These  I  have  so  often  ex- 

{)lored,  that  I  may  say,  in  the  beautiful 
anguage  of  Comus, 

'*  I  know  each  lane,  and  every  alley  green, 
Diogle,  or  hathy  dell  of  thit  wild  wood. 
And  every  bosky  bourn  from  tide  to  tide. 
My  daily  walks  and  ancient  neighbourhood." 

With  your  permission,  I  will  trans- 
port myself  in  fancy  to  the  village  of 
Waltham,    whose   parish  church  f  is 

*  **  He  would  often  profett,  thatto  obterve 
the  gratt,  herbt,  com,  treat,  cattle,  earth, 
watert,  heavent,  any  of  the  creatures,  and 
to  contemplate  tlieir  naturet,  ordert,  quali- 
ties, virtues,  uses,  was  ever  to  him  the 
greatest  mirth,  content,  and  recreation  that 
c«nikl  be  :  and  this  he  held  to  his  dying

nearly  all  that  has  escaped  the  ham- 
mers of  destruction  of  tne  once  splen- 
did mitred  abbey  of  that  name,    in 
which  reposed  the  remains  of  Harold 
Infelix.|     A  step  will  bring  me  to  the 
sed^y  lica,  and  revive  a  whole  train  of 
delifthtful    recollections,  — of  Izaack 
Walton,  "  that  happy,  garrulous,  old 
man,"  one  of  the  best,  yet  most  unoa- 
tentatious  of  philosophers,  who,  living 
in  an  age  of  civil  disaension,  was  an 
exemplar  of  contented  quietness,  and 
who  bequeathed  to  posterity  a  moat 
valuable  moral  in  the  bumble  disguise 
of  a  fishing-book.§ 

Many  other  spou  I  could  enumerate 
interesting  to  tne  topographer,  but  I 
must  repress  the  wings  of  my  imagina- 
tion, or  1  shall  have  no  chance  €n  be-

Churches,  Essex. 

13th  Dec.  1829. — One  of  the  most 
inviting  mornings  I  ever  witnessed. 
It  was  not  frosty,  yet  the  sun  shone 
gloriously  forth,  and  there  was  a  dry- 
ness at  the  same  time,  a  mild  elasticity 
in  the  air,  highly  exhilarating  to  the 
spirits, — it  was  more  like  a  foretaste  of 
sprins  than  a  prelude  to  the  winter:  I 
coulcf  not  remain  at  home.  But  in 
what  direction  shall  be  my  ramble? 
It  matters  not.  So  1  sallied  forth  at 
the  ])ostern  gate  of  the  garden,  and 
accident  determined  it. 

Forcing  my  way  through  "brake 
and  briar  *  in  that  part  of  the  forest 

X  These  two  impressive  words  are  said  to 
have  been  all  that  were  engraven  on  his 
tomb. 

(  I  am  waiting  with  impatience  for  the 
appearance  of  Mr.  Pickeriog^s  long  announc- 
ed quarto  edition  of  the  Angler,  which  is  so 
much  wanted  by  the  <<  illustrators,"  Major's 
pretty  edition  being  too  small  lor  their  par- 
pose  ;  and  I  trust  that  it  will  contain  soma 
engravings  of  tlie  scenery  about  the  streams 
and  villsges  mentioned  in  that  sweet  pas- 
toral. And  here  let  me  ask  what  have  the 
"  Walton  Clab"  of  London  done  to  com- 
memorate his  name  ? — Look  into  Prior  Stb- 
teed*s  Chapel  in  the  south  transept  of  that 
glorious  cathedral  at  Winchester.  Swely 
the  name  of  the  gentle  Pitcator,  engraven 
on  a  memorial  worthy  of  him,  would  not  dis- 
honour even  those  hallowed  walls.

brook  was  purchased  by  Sir  James 
Tylney  Lons,  Bart,  of  Waiistead  Park, 
and  immediateljr  pulled  down.  Its

Within  the  church,  on  tlie  north  side

iMster  fnonamentp  with  two  hj^urcs

several  sons  and  daughters.  The  w»- 
men  are  in  high-crowned  hats  and 
ruffs,  with  small  hoops.  The  inscrip- 
tion states  it  to  be  in  memory  of  WiU 
liam  Waldegrave,  "of  the  ancient  fa- 
mily of  that  name  in  this  county/' 
who  died  in  1610,  and  Dorothy,  nis 
wife;  she  died  in  1566. 

Leai'ing  the  church  of  Little  Ilford, 
and  bearing  to  the  right  across  a  few 
fields,  I  reached  the  village  of  East 
Ham,  which,  though  it  presents  some 
poverty-stricken  tcncmenti,  cau  reckon 
also  several  substantial  houses,  not- 
withsunding  the  apparent  disadvan- 
tage of  its  situation,  heing  close  upon 
the  marshes  of  the  Thames.  At  some 
distance  from  where  the  houses  termi- 
nate, and  the  country  lies  open  to  the 
river,  from  which  it  is  situated  about 
a  mile,  stands  the  venerable  church  of 
East  Ham.  Time  and  circumstances 
will  sometimes  give  an  aspect  to  thinss 
which  otherwise  perhaps  they  would 
not  seem  to  warrant.  Possibly  it  was 
to  the  splendour  of  the  day,  or  it  mi^ht 
be  to  a  certain  indistinct  recollection 
that  I  should  find  here  some  relics  of 
antiquity,  thai  I  owe  the  interest  I  felt 
when  this  thne-worn  edifice  fint  came 
in  view.  There  was,  moreover,  I 
thought,  something  striking  in  the 
landscape  beyond  what  I  had  expect- 
ed,— the  grey,  sombre-looking  church, 
with  its  ponderous  though  somewhat 
low  tower,  supported  in  Its  tottering 
age  by  a  massive  brick  buttress, — the 
Tillagers  assembling  for  evening  prayer 
individually  or  by  groupes,  summoned 
by  the  sonorous  Knell  from  this  tower, 
—to  the  right  Woolwich,  and  the 
crowd  of  masts  from  those  rich  "  ar- 
gosies" in  the  East  India  Docks.  A 
mile  or  more  distant  to  the  left  rose 
the  embattled  tower  of  the  ancient 
church  of  Barkins,  near  to  which 
stood  the  celebrated  abbey  so  named, 
the  first  convent  for  women  established 
in  this  kingdom.     For  a  back-ground 


Shooter's  Hill  in  Kent ;  whilst  to  en- 
liven the  scene  numerous  ycasels,  some 
of  large  burthen,  were  passing  up  and 
down  the  river,  their  sails  lighted  op 
by  the  now  setting  sun. 

East  Ham  Church  consists  of  a  nave, 
a  double  chancel,  (the  farthest  having 
a  semicircular  apsisX  and  the  massive 
tower  before  mentioned,  stFensthened 
by  brick  buttresses,  one  of  tnem  of 
amazing  bulk.*  It  is  mnch  disfigured 
by  plaster  and  rough-cast,  but  enough 
is  visible  to  show  that  it  is  built  of 
stones  and  flint.  The  walls  of  the 
chancel  are  three  feet  thick ;  this,  with 
the  semicircular  east  end,  Saxon  round- 
headed  windows,  and,  I  think,  the 
door-way  at  the  western  extremity, 
mentioned  below,  bespeak  it  a  striking 
specimen  of  church  architecture  about 
tne  period  of  the  twelfth  century.  Along 
the  string  course  of  the  tower  are  a  few 
ornamental  bosses,  aroon^  which  is  to 
be  seen  that  elegant  device  the  port- 
cullis, the  Badge  of  the  House  of 
Tudor,  which  is  represented  with  such 
profusion  and  fine  efllecc  in  the  chapel 
of  King's  College,  Cambridge.  At  the 
western  angles  are  gar^iles,  represent- 
ing eagles,  or  other  birds.  The  outer 
entrance  to  the  tower  is  mean,  and 
apparently  modern ;  but  within  is  con- 
cealed a  door-way  of  the  boldest  pro- 
portions, with  three  semicircular  re- 
ceding arches.  The  capitals  of  the  co- 
lumns are  without  ornament,  and  the 
whole  presents  a  fine  example  of  early 
Norman  architecture.  This  was,  pro- 
bably, before  the  erection  of  the  tower, 
the^reat  western  entrance  to  the  church, 
as  It  is  not  likely  that  the  architect 
would  have  made  so  poor  an  entrance 
to  the  tower  from  %vitnout,  and  at  the 
same  time  concealed  from  view  this 
noble  door-way.  To  the  south  of  the 
altar,  within  a  deep  recess  formed  by 
two  trefoil  arches,  united  in  the  centre 
by  a  slender  detached  column,  is  a 
riscina  with  a  double  drain.  This 
elegant  piece  of  architecture  is  covered 
by  a  thick  coating  of  white- wash.  On 
the  opposite  of  the  altar  is  one  of  those 
interesting  monuments,  not  infre- 
quently to  be  seen  in  our  parochial 
churches,  but  which  often  unexpect- 
edly present  themselves  to  the  ardent 
topographer,  in  requital  of  his  toils,t

with  the  feminine  g^eoder ;  and  when 
the  word  mode,  f.  is  understood,  its

need;  m,  ii  la  Eraofoue,  ^  la  Paru 
sMfiiie,  Arc    Many  of  the  borrowed 
tjBrms  are  not  to  be  found  in  an  Eng- 
lish dictionary;  and,  indeed,  no  dic- 
tionary could  teach  an  Englishman  the 
true  sound  of  the  French  u,  and  the 
nasal  m,  tm,  &c.    The  apology  com- 
monly made  for  the  use  of  exotic  ex- 
pressions, is,  either  that  they  are  more 
ezpressiTc  than  out  own,  or  that  we 
have  none  that  will  give  their  mean- 
ing; both  of  which  assertions  are  as 
idle  as  they  are  scandalous  to  the  Eng- 
lish nation.     If  they  are  more  expres- 
sive than  our  own,  we  must  allow  that 
tbeir  inventors  are  men  of  a  better  wit 
than  ourselves  I  bat  I  cannot  easily  be* 
lieve  that  the  word  porie^feuille  ex- 
presses (to  an  Englishman)  the  use  of 
the  thing  better  than  the  word  paper^ 
eoit  would;  the  word  porimanieau, 
more  clearly  than  clothet'Ca$e  i  envelope, 
than  cover i  or  that  chef-tTceuvre  is  more

hed-room-iervant  9   dejeunS  a  la /our* 
chelte,  ihAn/or  k- lunch  f  soi-disani,  than 
telf-$tifled\  and   will  any  reasonable 
man  assert,  that  the  meaning  of  wood- 
man, tinman,  coachman,  &c.  is  not  as 
dear  as  their  eauivalents   in  French 
or   Greek    would    be   found?     That 
we  have   not   equivalents    for   many 
terms  we  borrow,  I  will  allow ;  but  to 
say  that  we  could  not  make  such  by 
composition,  would  be  a  different  thing. 
Where  the  marching  intellect  in  Eng- 
land seeks  new  words  from  other  lan- 
guages, the  Germans  compound  them 
with  the  greatest  ease  and  accuracy 
from  their  own  ;  and  whatever  they 
can  do  with  their  language,  we  can  do 
with  ours;  since,  not  only  are  both 
very  much  alike,  radically,  but,  as  far  as 
our  composition  goes,  it  is  precisely  on 
the  German  principle. 

The  arguments  in  favour  of  the  bor- 
rowing system  arc  few,  and  (I  think) 
quite  idle ;  while  those  against  it  are 
not  only  many  but  strong.  Isl.  It  is 
a  proof  of  national  inferiority,  for  if 
we  have  terms  of  war,  or  navigation, 
from  another  nation,  it  seems  as  if  they 
had   taught    us    something  of  vViosc 


things;  if  terms  of  music  from  uh 
other,  that  they  taught  os  mtiaic;  if 
from  a  third,  terms  of  civility,  that 
they  taught  us  politeness*  &c.  2ndly« 
It  renders  our  language  less  simple,  lest 
nerspicuous,  less  pure»  leia  regular,  and 
tit  only  ibr  learned  people  to  ooQverae 
with  each  other  in,  beioa;  no  loogei 
one  in  which  the  more  Teamed  can 
easily  teach  the  leu  ao :  this  assertion 
will  be  admitted  by  those  who  know 
that  half  a  country  congregation  under- 
stand but  half  the  sermon,  and  youth 
but  a  quarter  of  what  they  itaA, 
That  purity  of  language  is  a  grace;,  we 
all  seem  to  allow ;  for  when  we  are 
weigh injg  the  excellencies  and  defects 
of  a  Latin  author,  we  commonly  throw 
the  purity  of  his  style  into  one  scale  or 
the  other.  3dly.  It  causes  great  toil 
and  obstruction  to  the  teacher  of  youth, 
and  keeps  the  pupil  learning  words, 
wheu  he  should  be  learning  facto* 
Hence  the  dry  expositors,  ^osuries, 
&c  that  tire  children  before  they  have 
learnt  anything  of  use.  4thly.  The 
right  sound  of  foreign  words  being 
known  to  few  besides  those  who  have 
learnt  the  languages  from  which  th^ 
are  borrowed,  many  a  worthy  Englisn 
scholar,  |)erhaps  of  6rst-nte  aoilities  in 
science,  is  laughed  at  for  a  fool,  be* 
cause,  in  reading  a  newspaper,  he  does 
not  give  the  Parisian  accent  to  such 
scraps  and  words  as  ondit,  debul^eclai, 
fui  vive,jeu  de  mot,  &c.  6thJy.  There 
IS  no  need  of  borrowing,  because  we 
can  make  words  to  any  extent  by  com- 
pounding those  we  have  already.  What

•tition  was  framed.  As  a  picture  of  the 
iron  sway  of  the  stern  Republicans, 
even  to  a  community  of  their  own 
partj,  and  of  the  miseries  attendant  on 
civif  war  and  military  government  un- 
der all  circumstances,  as  well  as  an 
interesting  record  connected  with  local 
history,  I  think  it  not  unworthy  of  in- 
sertion in  your  miscellany.

Hninbly  aheweth, 
'  That  iioce  the  Garrison  of  Malmetborie 
was  reduced  vnto  the  obedience  of  the  Par- 
liam*,  the  same  hath  not  onely  bcene  main- 
tained, eipetiallle  bj  the  contribac'on  of 
your  petic  oners,  and  the  places  neere  ad- 
Jojninge,  bat  dso  yonr  petic'oners  have 
ordinarily  given  free  quarter  to  the  forces  of 
the  said  (Hrrison,  and  their  plowea*  have 
been  prest  at  all  seasons  both  to  carry  stone 
and  tymber  and  other  materialls  for  the  for- 
tificac*oD8,  and  to  carry  hay,  wood,  and 
coles,  for  other  vses  in  the  said  Garrison, 
w*hoat  any  paym^  for  the  same ;  And  more- 
ouer  divers  considerable  debts  are  contract- 
ed by  certaine  well  affected  Gent,  of  the 
Countie  (as  your  petic'oners  are  informed) 
for  the  buyinge  of  ammunic'on  and  other 
necessaries,  and  for  raysince  of  horse  and 
arraes  for  the  defence  of  the  countrie  (w^^^ 
debts  your  petic'oners  hold  themselves 
bounden  in  dotv  to  dischardge  accordiore 
to  their  proporc  on  w^  other  parts  of  tne 
Countie).  And  whereas  your  petic'oners 
hoped  (as  the  fruits  of  these  great  expenses) 
to  nave  beene  p'tected  in  some  measure  from 
violence  and  rapine,  yet  the  enimy  hath  al- 
waies  compelled  the  countrie  to  paie  contri- 
buc*on  and  other  taxes,  and  alsoe  hatb  con- 
tinually plundered  and  spoyled  yo'  peti- 
c'oners, and  the  inhabitants  of  places  neer- 
cst  adjacent  to  the  said  Garrison,  w^hout  any 
opposic'on  of  the  sa)d  forces,  all  w*h  hatn 
happened  through  the  insufficiency,  timidity, 
and  fidshood  of  the  chiefe  Com'anders  and 
certaine  other  Officers  of  the  said  Garrison, 
who  have  not  onely  notoriously  deceived  y* 
State  by  fillinge  vp  their  musters  w^h  hired 
men^  but  alsoe  have  rather  applyed  them- 


selves to  excessive  drindcinge,  p'phaac 
swearinge,  and  vicious  and  riotous  livinge, 
than  to  exercise  the  duty  of  their  plaoea. 
And  their  counsells  hauo  alwues  been  soe 
publiq  that  noe  designs  of  theirs  have  ever 
been  followed  wMi  good  sueoesst,  bot  those 
p'visions  w^h  have  beene  made  for  ouz  defence 
nave  beene  alwaies  turned  to  the  advantadge 
of  the  enimv,  and  the  furees  and  annea  (es- 
petiallie  of  horse)  rsysed  to  p'tect  vs,  have 
beene  sne  remissly  governed,  that  y*  enimy 

hath  alsraies  surprised  them,  and  by 

been  enabled  to  mine  vs.     And  yet 

these  calamities  haue  beene  increased  by 
sundrie  most  i^ivous  insolencMS  and  op- 
pressions acted  by  the  sutlioritie  of  the  said 
Garrison  both  upon  the  p'scms  and  eatatee  of 
divers  inhabitants  of  die  countrie,  as  by 
imprisbnm'*,  vnjnst  exactions  of  money, 
hay,  and  other  p'visions,  seasinge  of  horses, 
vnder  pretence  of  recmitiage  the  horse 
forces  lost  by  neglegenee  of  the  command- 
ers, and  other  rrievaaoes.  And  lastly,  the 
familiaritie  and  uvous  w*h  malignants  have 
in  the  said  garrisoo  doe  begett  a  vehem* 
suspic'on  in  your  peUc'onen,  that  the  said 
Com'anders  and  Officers,  or  some  of  them, 
may  finde  an  opportunity  to  deliver  the  same 
vp  vDto  )*  enimy  w*hout  any  snch  reslstaooa 
as  might  bee  made  in  defence  of  a  place  aoe 
stronge  and  considerable. 

In  due  considerac'on  of  the  premisses 
may  it  please  this  Right  hon*^  Con^  to 
graunte  vnto  your  petic'oners  that  the  go- 
veru™*  of  the  said  Garrison  snd  forces  may 
bee  reduced  into  some  better  forme,  and 
that  y«  said  Com'anders  and  Officers  may  be 
removed,  and  that  other  able  Com'anders  and 
Officers,  such  in  whom  your  petic'oners  may 
liave  confidence,  may  bee  placed  to  com'aad 
and  govern  the  said  garrison  and  forces,  and 
that  a  Receive'  may  be  appointed  for  y*  said 
Garrison,  who  shall  bee  tyed  to  give  a 
rooonethly  accompt  for  the  satisfac'on  of  the 
countrie,'l>y  w^h  means  comipc'on  may  bee 
the  more  avoyded,  and  the  debts  of  the 
Countie  the  sooner  satisfied.  And  that  thoie

ft  minntt  and  tedious  autement,  that 
throosh  the  whole  of  this  week  every 
expedient  which  humanity  and  beiie- 
voieuce  coold  devise  for  effectually  re- 
lieving them,  has  been  employed. 

From  their  own  lipt  I  have  heard  a 
reciul  of  their  sorrows:  and  the  fol- 
lowing cases  will  give  you  a  tolerably 
distinct  as  well  as  accurate  idea  of  what 
has  occurred. 

A  woman  in  the  middle  of  life^  was 
going,  with  her  four  children,  to  her 
husband,  who  is  settled  in  Quebec. 
She  had  converted  her  little  property 
into  money,  and  wiih  a  part  of  it  had 

Grchascd  a  stock  of  clothing  that  would 
ve  served  her  family  for  a  long  time 
in  America.  As  she  left  the  steps  of 
the  Guildhall  at  Carnarvon,  on  Mon- 
day, she  exclaimed,  ^'  Ah,  it  matters 
little  which  way  I  turn,  for  (  have 
neither  a  bouse  nor  a  friend  to  receive 
me.'' 

A  young  girl  wlio  had  listeoed  to 
her  sad  stnry,  burst  into  tears,  and 
said,  "  I  too  have  lost  aU  that  I  value 
in  this  world.  I  had  the  care  of  my 
brother's  child,  and  was  taking  her  to 
him  in  Canada.  When  I  saw  the 
danger  we  were  in,  I  was  more  anxioos 
about  her  than  about  myself.  I  had 
her  on  my  back  upon  the  boom.  A 
piece  of  limber  fell  upon  me  and  almost 
deprived  me  of  my  senses :  but  I  never 
let  the  child  go  until  I  was  within  a 
yard  of  the  shore,  when  a  wave  swept 
ber  from  me.  I  screamed  after  her  in 
vain.  Oh  that  the  wave  had  washed 
me  away  too,  and  then  1  should  not 
have  been  separated  from  my  darling  T' 

A  very  respectable  looking  woman, 
who  stood  absorbed  in  grief,  on  my 
questioning  her  as  to  the  extent  of  her 
misfortunes,  told  me  that  she  had  lost 
ber  husband  and  her  only  child,  a 
young  man  in  his  nineteenth  year, 
and  that  she  dreaded  to  think  of  the 
days  to  come.  "  1  am  now,*'  said  she, 
**  a  poor  wanderer  in  the  world,  and 
have  no  one  to  befriend  or  comfort 
me. 


A  well-informed  roan,  whose  name 
is  Clarke,  and  whose  wife  is  a  singu- 
larly pleasing  woman,  was  going  with 
her  and  their  child,  a  little  girl  about 
two  years  old,  to  settle  in  America,  as 
a  house-carpenter.  He  had  sold  his 
*'  farm'*  in  the  county  of  Mona^han 
for  an  hundred  and  ninety  sovereigns, 
and  was  carrying  not  a  targe  and  va- 
luable assortment  of  tools.  He  states, 
tbai  wtta  the  vcaacl  firu  lUuck  ti^Qa 


the  rock,  he  said  to  his  wife,  **  Maria! 
we  are  in  a  bad  way ;  there  is  some^ 
thing  dreadful  going  to  happen.  It  is 
very  unlikely  that  we  can  all  three  be 
saved.  Do  the  best  you  can  for  your- 
self: I  will  take  care  of  the  child.*' 
He  accompanied  her  however  to  the 
deck,  and  assisted  her  to  set  upon  the 
boom.  He  paused,  and  finding  him- 
self unable  to  bear  the  separation,  com- 
mitted their  little  one  to  the  care  of 
the  mate,  who  stood  by.  In  a  few  mi- 
nutes he  had  the  satisfaction  of  land- 
ins  his  wife  safely  on  the  rocks.  The 
hold  of  the  vessel  was  completely  filled 
with  water,  but  happily  the  mate's 
berth  was  upon  deck,  and  he  put  the 
little  girl  into  his  own  bed.  "  I  kept 
my  eyes,"  said  Clarke,  as  he  related  the 
circumstances  to  me,  '*  for  (bur  hours 
on  the  light  that  glimmered  from^  a 
lantern  on  the  forecastle  of  the  ship, 
and  at  day-break  a  seaman  on  the  deck 
tied  one  end  of  a  rope  round  the  child's 
waist,  and  threw  trie  other  end  to  me 
on  shore.  I  dragged  her  through  the 
water,  and  her  mb  was  preserved.  I 
never  went  near  the  spot  afterwards. 
I  willingly  resigned  my  property,  thank- 
ful to  the  Almighty  that  I  still  have 
my  wife  and  my  chfld." 

Mary  Ann  Watt,  an  intelligent  little 
girl,  thirteen  years  old,  tost  both  her 
parents  in  the  wreck,  and  knew  none 
of  the  surviving  passengers,  except  a 
young  woman,  who,  like  herself,  came 
from  the  county  of  Tyrone.  She  never 
saw  her  father  after  the  vessel  struck, 
nor  can  she  give  any  tidings  of  him. 
She  was  dragged  through  the  water  to 
the  shore.  Her  mother,  who  was  a 
woman  of  an  extremely  delicate  frame, 
appears  to  have  been  either  too  feeble 
or  too  timid  to  trust  herself  to  the 
boom.  About  eight  o'clock  on  Satur- 
day morning,  as  she  was  standing  upon 
the  deck,  a  large  piece  of  timber  struck 
her  on  her  left  sioe.  She  held  up  one 
of  her  hands,  uttered  a  faint  shriek, 
and  fell.  A  sailor  ran  to  her  assistance, 
but  life  was  extinct.  The  case  of  the 
daughter,  as  is  natural,  has  excited  an 
extraordinary  interest.  Among  the 
tokens  of  sympathy  which  she  bias  re- 
ceived, is  a  New  Testament,  bearing 
this  inscription  on  the  inside  of  the 
cover: 

«  When  in  J  father  and  my  mother  forsake 
ine,  then  the  Lord  will  take  ma  up."  Psalm 
xxvii.  10.  Mary  Ann  Watt,  given  to  htr 
with  the  kindest  withes.  Carnarvon,  April

deed.  They  conkl  not  ODdertUnd  onr 
liDgaage,  and  we  could  not  make  oat 
a  single  word  of  theirs ;  but  when  they 
saw  us  pass  their  cottaaes,  they  ran 
after  us  with  bread  and  butter  and 
milk ;  and  taking  off  some  of  their 
clothes,  wrapped  them  round  the  chil- 
dren. At  the  last  place  where  we  stop- 
ped (Clynnog,  situated  on  the  bay  of 
Carnarvon,)  there  was  plenty  to  eat 
and  drink,  and  when  we  left  the  inn, 
the  Clergyman  gave  us  all  sixpence 
apiece." 

The  circumstances  of  all  the  sufferers 
that  came  hither  yesterday  (Friday) 
were  particularly  affecting.  Among 
them  were  Richard  Irvine,  late  Ser- 
goint-Maior  in  the  S6th  regiment,  his 
wife,  and  their  three  children.  Hb 
wife  is  in  a  delicate  stale  of  health. 
She  was  too  much  under  the  influence 
of  terror  to  be  capable  of  quitting  the 
vessel  before  nine  o'clock  on  Saturday 
rooming,  and  Irvine  remained  with 
her.  One  of  the  very  first  persons  that 
reached  the  rocks  on  Friday  night  was 
his  son,  a  fine  looking  spirited  lad,  in 
his  seventeenth  year.  With  a  little 
sister  on  his  back,  the  young  man  was 
making  his  way  along  the  boom  ^  and 
when  ne  was  about  half  over,  a  tre- 
mendous wave  washed  him  off.  Be- 
ing a  swimmer,  he  kept  above  water, 
and  within  less  than  a  minute,  had  the 
joy  to  find  himself  and  his  precious 
charge  thrown  by  another  wave  upon 
the  rocks.  A  rope  was  tied  around 
his  two  younger  brothers,  and  a  sailor 
dragged  them  through  the  water  to  the 
shore.  Both  the  chddren  were  dread- 
fully bruised.  At  nine  o'clock  on  Sun- 
day morning  one  of  them  died.  On 
Monday  he  was  committed  to  the 
grave.  As  Irvine  told  me  his  tale  of 
woe,  the  tears  trickled  over  his  manly 
cheek.  **  I  must  not  complain,"  said 
he,  "  I  ought  rather  to  be  thankful. 
And  yet  I  have  been  severely  tried. 
My  child  has  been  snatched  from  me. 
I  have  lost  all  my  little  property,  and 
with  it  my  Waterloo  medal.  This  I 
valued  more  than  my  money.  But  I 
shall  apply  to  the  commanding  officer ; 
and  as  I  did  not  lose  it  through  any 
neglect  or  any  fault  of  my  own,  1  hope 
he  will  use  his  interest  to  get  me  ano- 
ther. I  would  not  have  taken  a  hun- 
dred pounds  for  it  Indeed  gold  should 
not  have  purchased  it." 

Irvine  was  accompanied  to  Carnar- 
▼op  by  a  man  and  his  wife,  who  were 
evidently  iu  the  deepctt  distress.    They 


had  reached  the  rocks  without  their 
little  daughter.  The  child,  not  two 
years  old,  had  slipped  from  them  in 
the  confusion  on  board  the  vessel ;  and 
they  believed  she  was  drowned.  Whilst 
they  were  resting  themselves  at  Clyn- 
nag,  about  ten  miles  from  Carnarvoo, 
and  twenty-five  from  Maen  Mellt, 
some  of  their  associates  in  misfortune 
overtook  them,  and  stated  that  a  child 
was  left  behind,  and  no  one  knew  to 
whom  it  belonaed.  They  immediately 
returned  in  sad  suspense,  and  founa 
that  it  was  indeed  their  daughter.  Bat 
the  hand  of  death  was  upon  her,  and 
she  soon  breathed  her  last.  They  wait- 
ed to  lay  the  little  innocent  in  the  grave, 
and  then  once  more  directed  their  steps 
towards  Ireland. 

These,  my  dear  Sir,  are  melancholy 
notices ;  but  I  am  sure  you  will  recog- 
nize in  them  some  of  the  best  feituret 
of  the  human  character;  and  who  will 
deny  that  their  tendency  is  to  soften 
and  improve  the  heart? 

I  have  transgressed  the  limits  with- 
in which  I  meant  to  confine  myself, 
and  can  only  beg  in  conclusion  that 
you  will  believe  roe  to  be  ever  afifec- 
tionately.  Yours,  &c.

Mr.  Urban,     Summerhfuh,  Exeier, 

June  5. 

IN  former  Numbeni  of  your  old  aod 
useful  Magazine,  you  inserted  some 
very  moderate  and  temperate  plans  of 
vfhai  all  see  and  feel  to  be  necessary 
in  reforming  the  representation  of  the 
TCople  in  the  House  of  Commons. 
Originally  Boroughs  were  privileged  to 
lend  members  to  rarliaaient^  either  on 
account  of  services  rendered,  or  to 
itreogthcn    the  royal  authority.     lu 


process  of  time,  by  t  corruption  inci- 
dent to  human  nature,  iudividuala  haw 
become  possessed  of  the  most  of  them ; 
and  contrary  to  law,  as  often  publicly 
declared,  these  send  in  members  with 
particubr  views ;  or  sell  a  seat  in  Par« 
iiament  at  a  price  pro|>ortioned  to  con* 
veniional  conditions.  When  a  better 
slate  of  things  is  required  in  lieu  of  this 
violation  of  civil  rights,  the  invariable 
answer  is,  that  '*  the  present  system 
works  well,"  as  it  certainly  does  in 
effecting  the  purposes  of  these  owners 
of  Boroughs. 

At  recent  meetings,  termed  political 
unions,  these  interesting  subjects  have 
been  discussed  with  equal  temper  and 
moderation  ;  and  they  are  so  far  useful 
as  to  hnve  scouted  and  put  down  the 
frantic  doctrines  of  Annual  Parliaments 
and  Universal  Suffrage,  so  admirably 
calculated  to  keep  the  body  of  the 
people  during  a  quarter  of  each  year  in 
a  state  of  excitement  and  dissipatioa 
highly  injurious  to  the  nation. 

From  late  proceedings  it  appears  evi- 
dent that  the  time  is  not  yet  arrived  for 
introducing  a  salutary  and  efficient  re* 
form,  ceruinly,  hoivever,  now  more 
attended  to  than  at  any  former  period. 
The  raising  of  the  elective  franchise, 
the  granting  of  a  vote  to  householders 
and  copyholders,  and  the  alteration  of 
the  period  of  seven  to  6ve  years,  will, 
it  would  seem,  precede  the  more  essen- 
tial reform  of  tne  Boroughs  in  general. 
It  is,  however,  thought,  even  by  the 
opponents  of  complete  reform,  that 
some  of  the  close  Boroughs,  known  to 
be  rotten  to  the  very  core,  ought  im- 
mediately to  be  converted  into  a  more 
salutary  shape.  There  are  twenty-six 
of  these  where  the  electors  do  not  ex- 
ceed that  number,  and  in  many  of 
them  a  single  figure  expresses  the  num- 
ber. It  is  thought  that  a  moderate 
compensation  might  be  given  to  these 
electors,  or  proprietors,  with  a  vote  in 
their  relative  county.  Thus,  out  of 
fifty  seats  redeemed,  members  might 
be  given  to  the  great  commercial  towns 
and  counties  requiring  more.  In  such 
case  each  privileged  place  would  repay 
the  expense  incurred  in  remuneratmg 
the  electors  who  relinquished  a  Bo- 
rough to  make  way  for  the  new  mea- 
sure. The  nation  would  for  a  consi- 
derable period  rest  contented  with  this 
practical  degree  of  melioration,  which 
would  lead  ultimately  to  farther  bene- 
ficial consequences.

Review.— Sir  W.  Scott'i  fliilory  of  Scotland.  [June, 


618 

<*  Id  the  earlier  cUji  of  the  ehvreh,  the 
|ireshjteriM  cicrey  *•*<•  harried  Into  some 
extreoMt,  from  their  wdeot  desire  to  oppose 
diemctric^ly  their  doctrinet  end  prectioe  to 
Ihoee  of  Rome,  when  it  hed  been  hetter  to 
lieve  oonfermed  to  the  eoeient  preetioet.— • 
BeeeuM  the  oetholie  chnrob  demanded  e 
splendid  ritmU,  prescribed  speeiel  fcrms  of 
mjtf  end  ooovpied  sapeib  temples,  the 
'Scottish  Idrk  nogleeted  the  deoeneies  of 
worship,  tnd  the  solemn  ettitode  of  devo- 
tion wnich  all  men  assume  in  the  closet  | 
nnd  the  vulgar  audience  reprobated  the 
nraachers  who  showed  so  much  anxiety  to 
dbchafge  their  office,  as  to  commit  their 
discourses  to  writing  previous  to  deliveriojg 
them.  Because  the  catholic  priesu  easily 
mnted  absolution  for  such  oflhuces  as  their 
Mttrers  brought  In  secret  to  the  confessional, 
Uie  Irirk  Insisted  upon  performance  of  public 
nad  personal  penauee,  even  in  cases  which 
vrere  liaUe  to  Harden  the  fiBelings  of  the  cri- 
Binal,  to  offend  the  delicacy  of  the  congre* 
cation,  and  to  lead  to  worse  consequences. 
Jastead  of  the  worldly  pomp  and  circum- 
stance which  the  church  of  Rome  assem- 
bled around  her,  the  refiirmed  preachers 
<NKild  only  obtain  eminence  by  obeerving  an 
nastert  system  of  morals  themselves,  and 
maetlng  the  same  from  others,— a  prsotiee 
which  in  extreme  eases  might  lead  to  hypo- 
•risy  and  spiritual  tyranny.  l^Mtly*  •*  they 
dlsdaimed  all  connection  with  the  State,  the 
Scottish  divines  could  not  be  charged,  like 
the  papist  clergymen,  with  seeking  the  ap- 
plause of  monarohs,  and  a  high  place  in 
courts ;  but  they  cannot,  in  the  early  ages  of 
the  church,  be  acquitted  of  interfering  with 
the  civil  government.  In  cases  where  thev 
pretended  that  religion  was  connected  with 
it,  (a  connection  easily  discovered,  if  the 
preacher  desired  to  find  It,)  and  so  dedicating 
to  politics  the  time  and  reasoning  which  was 
due  to  religion.  The  cnrrent  of  ages,  how- 
ever, and  the  general  change  of  manners, 
have,  in  a  great  measure,  removed  those  er- 
jrors  imputable  to  the  Scottish  church,  and 
incidental  to  every  human  institution  which 
arose  from  superabundant  zeal ;  and  it  is 
hoped  and  believed  that,  while  some  excesses 
have  been  corrected  and  restrained,  it  is,  as 
a  national  church  establishment,  still  ani- 
mated by  the  more  refined  and  purer  qualities 
of  fervid  devoUon." 

Sir  Walter  Scott  has  been  freqaently 
termed  a  bad  herald,  from  instances  of 
false  and  incon^uous  blazonry  in  hit 
works  of  imaginalion.  We  are  sorry 
to  have  to  notice  some  confusion  in 
the  more  important  point  of  genealogy ; 
for  in  p.  go  of  vol.  ii.  we  have  the 
following  discrepant  account  of  Lady 
Margaret  Douglas,  the  Countess  of 
Lennox,  who  was  mother  of  Lord 
Daraky: 


«  This  lady  was  daughter  of  King  Henry'a 
sister  Margaret,  Qaeen  dowager  of  Scothmdy 
by  her  second  husband  the  £arl  of  Angus, 
ofid  wot  mother  ^  the  reigtmig  Queen  Mary*\ 

Queen  Mary's  mother^  it  is  well 
known,  was  Mary  of  Guise  %  and  the 
relationship  of  the  Countess  of  Lennox 
to  the  Queen  was  aunt  of  half-blood : 
but  we  presume  the  Historian's  state- 
ment may  have  been  intended  to  sUod 
as  follows  X 

"  This  lady  was  daughter  of  Kinff  Henry's 
sister  Margaret,  Queen  dowager  otScotland 
(and  grandmother  of  the  reining  Queen 
Mary),  by  her  second  husband  the  Earl  of 
Angus." 

A^in,  in  the  next  page,  the  eonfu- 
sion  18  continued  i 

'*  Queen  Mary  claimed  the  throne  of 
EogUnd,  failing  Queen  Elisabeth  and  her 
heirs,  as  erand-niece  of  Henry  VHU  by  her 
molAer,  the  same  Queen  Margartt.  Ldady 
Lennox  was  that  Queen's  fiiJOL  meee,  nnd  one 
degree  nearer  in  blood  to  the  reigning  Qneea 
than  was  Mary  herself." 

Here  for  "  mother'*  we  should  re«l 
"grandmother;"  for  "foil  niece,* 
**  daughter  ;'*  and  with  regard  to  the  de- 
gree of  propinquity  in  blood,  that  wouM 
no  more  have  given  right  of  inheritance 
in  opposition  to  primogeniture  in  the 
case  of  Lady  Margaret  Douglas,  than  it 
would  prefer  the  present  Dukes  of 
Cumberland,  Sussex,  and  Cambridge, 
in  prejudice  of  their  niece  the  Princess 
Victoria  of  Kent. 

The  only  plausible  ground  to  coun- 
tenance a  preference  of  Lady  Marga- 
ret's claim  to  that  of  Queen  Mary,  was, 
that  she  chanced  to  he  a  natire  of  Eng- 
land;  but  there  can  be  little  doubt  that, 
as  alien  hirth  made  no  difficulty  in  the 
case  of  James,  so  it  would  have  made 
none  in  prejudice  of  his  mother,  had 
she  attained  the  good  fortune  of  wit- 
nessing the  removal  of  Queen  Elin- 
beth  from  the  stage.

were,  bat  barbftrism  does  not  imply 
defect  of  undersunding.  Such  things 
brought  money  to  the  place,  and  the 
principle  is  retained  in  annual  races, 
musical  festiTals,  &c.  which  occasion 
money  to  be  s|)ent,  through  resort  of 
visitors. 

Among  the  carvings  on  the  seats  of 
the  Minster,  is  a  "  fox  preaching  to 
the  gtrese"  (p.  657).  The  ancient 
mean  ins  of  "  Le  Reynard  presche  aux 
poules/  was  not  that  the  clergy  in  ge- 
neral preached  to  the  people  for  tne 
purposes  of  extortion,  as  has  been  sup- 
posed. It  was  only  a  proverb  used, 
says  Cotgrave,  **  wnen  a  notable  im- 
postor talked  unto  or  treated  with  sillie 
and  ignorant  people"  (v.  poulet). 

We  extract  the  following  passage 
from  p.  678,  in  order  to  prevent  more 
dilapidation  of  ancient  buildings  than 
it  absolutely  unavoidable : 

"  The  oortb  wing  of  the  gremt  tnmaept 
had  to  far  declined  from  its  perpendicular,  as 
to  overhang  its  base  nearly  four  feet,  and 
atood  in  a  most  dangerous  manner.  Mr. 
Thornton,  a  carpenter  in  York,  undertook 
to  effect  its  restoration,  by  means  of  a  boge 
Urame  of  timber  for  screwing  up  the  gable 
end  at  onoe,  and  which  he  successfully  exe- 
cuted. This  ingenioDs  contrivance  has  been 
erroneously  attributed,  by  Horace  Walpole 
and  othere,  to  Mr.  Hawkesmore,  who  was 
architect  of  the  minster  at  the  time,  but 
who  neither  felt  nor  understood  the  beauties 
of  gotbio  architecture." — pw  678. 

This  it  one  of  other  instances  from 
which  it  appears,  that  the  preserva- 
tion of  our  finest  buildings  has  been 
owing  to  the  restoration  having  been 
entrusted  to  the  working  members  of 
the  architectural  science.  A  scieniijic 
man  ought,  like  them,  to  act  the  part  of 
a  sound  editor.  IfAehad  to  do  with  the 
text  of  Milton  or  Shakspeare,  he  would 
not  restore  it,  but  alter  and  interpo- 
late it,  and  deem  it  infra  dignitatem,  if 
he  was  not  permitted  to  exercise  such 
a  licentiousness.     We  mean  not  to  de- 

Sreciate  the  talents  of  any  man,  or  to 
iscourage  the  reasonable  profits  of  a 
job,  but  we  do  object  to  the  vanity  and 
presumption  that  profess  to  impro%'e 
perfection  in  an  art  of  which  there  is 
not  a  merit  possible  to  be  acquired,  ex- 
cept by  copying.  In  sculpture  no  man 
dares  to  attempt  improvement.  Let 
him  make  the  attempt,  and  see  how  he 
it  put  to  shame.  A  Mr.  Comins,  who 
had  been  bred  up  in  the  Cathedral 
works  at  York,  was  engaged  to  restore 
the  beauties  of  Beverley  Minster.    He 


carefully  examined  the  mutilated  work 
of  the  original  altar-screen,  took  casts 
of  the  ornamenit  and  mouldingt,  and 
carved  an  entirely  new  pinnacle  of  ex* 
ouisite  beauty.  He  was  then  convinced, 
tnat  it  might  be  restored  in  all  its  de* 
tails,  "  and  it  has  been  so  in  an  inimi- 
table style.*'— -J).  6*82. 

A  self-satisfied  "  architect*'  would 
have  considered  mending  as  great  a  dis- 
grace as  a  master  tailor  woum,  if  called 
upon  so  to  do,  instead  of  making  a  new 
coal:  and  thus,   from   false  pride  in 
them,  and  folly  in  the  patronage  of  the 
public,  sublime  and  heantiful  fabrics, 
the  glory  of  the  nation,  have  been  most 
scandalously  sacrificed  to  egotbm  or  ra« 
pacity.    This,  we  own,  is  harsh  lan- 
guage, but  as  either  lucre  or  fiilse  tatte 
can  alone  be  the  cause  of  toch  irrepa- 
rable mischief  as  unnecessary  mutila* 
tion  or  ruin  of  some  of  the  finest  mo* 
dels  of  architecture  in  this  kingdom,  it 
is  a  public  benefit  that  the  iniquitout 
pactice  shonld  in  future  be  prevented, 
ouch  prevention  is  practicable,  because 
we  have  partially  executed  it    By  em- 
ploying a  tombstone  carver,  we  have 
actually   put  in  new  stone  mullions 
upon  the  ancient  pattern,  into  a  gothic 
window,  at  less  expence  than  could  or 
would  have  been  done  by  a  carpenter 
in  wood.     If  a  gothic  window  be  de- 
prived of  its  mullions,  it  is  degraded  to  a 
mere  glazed  pigeon-hole.   If  the  pillars 
of  a  nave  decline  from  the  perpendicu- 
lar, carpentry  may  be  made  to  support 
the  superstructure,  and  the  repairs  at 
the  base  be  made  to  restore  the  upright 
position.  The  success  of  Mr.  Thornton 
shows,  that  even  walls  may  be  rein- 
stated.    If  such  a  fortunate  result  has 
ensued  with  a  fine  building  like  Bever- 
ley Minster,  how  much  more  easy  and 
cheap  must  be  a  similar  experioaent  in 
regard  to  humbler  and  yet   beautiful 
fabrics.    There  are  other  potent  rea- 
sons.   The  moment  a  bridge,  church, 
or  other  public  edifice  is  projected,  ex- 
pensive and  often  inconsistent    plans 
are   poured  in;  and  funds  raised  for 
other  purposes  are  condemned  to  be 
immediately  sacrificed  for  the  first  out- 
lay, in  stone  and  mortar.    To  sanction 
gorgeous  and    ornamenul   buildings, 
where  the  money  can  be  aflforded,  is, 
of  course,  unobjectionable;  but  where 
it  cannot,  the  expense  deters  the  in- 
crease of  similar  conveniences;    and 
the  trade  itself  is  injured,  because  un-' 
der  moderate  cost,  treble  the  number 
of  such   buildings  would  be  erected.

jttsil]^  ttyt  (p.  \ga)  that  of  all  the  pro- 
phecies of  Scripture.  "  Anticbritt  is 
the  mott  conipicuoiu  and  the  most  mo- 
mentous.*' It  so  happens,  that  just 
before  the  appearance  of  this  valuible 
work,  a  Rev.  Mr.  Maitland,  of  Glou- 
cester, laid  before  us  a  pamphlet,  writ- 
ten by  himself,  in  which,  to  the  beat 
of  our  recollection,  he  contends,  that 
all  expositors  of  past  times  have  been 
in  error,  concernm^  this  person ;  and 
that  AMTiCHRtST  IS  If  el  to  come.  It 
requires  no  Joseph  or  Daniel  to  inter- 
pret, why  we  declined  notice  of  this 
pamphlet.  Dr.  Whitlej  has  to  us  most 
satisfactorily  shown,  that  Aniickrisi 
neither  was  or  could  be  any  other  than 
Mahomet  (see  p.  211),  and  most  cer« 
taiulv  the  extract  now  to  be  given,  will 
exhibit  circumstances  which  do  not 
apply  to  any  other  person. 

**  The  Mu-ly  Chrutiao  writen,  Jvttly  in- 
teiprating  the  Scriptaret,  asterted  that  An- 
ticnritt  would  feitore  cireumciiion^  which  it 
the  true  mark  of  the  beast.  Hippolytas 
aad  Cjrid,  of  Jeniwlcnit  both  asserted, 
that  the  ADtichritt  will  come  in  cireumci- 
tlon ;  and  St.  Aaeustine,  *<  Antichritt  will 
circumciie  liimiel^  he  will  come  in  ctrcuTi- 
eisim,  at  the  true  Christ  {"  and  Lactantiua, 
**  he  will  mark  men  like  cattle."  He  wu 
lastly  to  be  but  one  man,  a  tingle  perton, 
an  individual  man,  and  not  a  tuccettlon,  or 
plandity  of  pertont  or  of  men.  He  it  every 
where  in  the  Scripturei  to  repretcnted.  He 
it  called  by  St.  Paul,  *  Tlie  men  of  tin ;' 
*  The  ton  of  perdition  j*  <  The  Uwlett 
muii*  <The  Advertary;'  <  He  that  ex-

TO  borrow  a  metaphor  from  Jolio- 
aon,  we  would  say  of  thete  volumca, 
that  at  one  time  we  are  presented  with 
a  garden  "  accurately  foroaed,  dili- 
gently planted,  and  scented  with  the 
Uie  sweetest  flowers/'  and  at  another, 
we  have  a  forest,  '<  filling  the  eye  with 
awful  pomp,  and  gratifying  the  mind 
with  endless  diversity."  There  is  no- 
thing in  the  treasures  of  poetry  hid 
from  the  genius  of  Croly;  he  brings 
the  richest  gems  from  the  deepest  minea, 
and  they  are  polished  into  brilliancy, 
and  set  with  taste  and  elegance  by  the 
baud  of  a  master.  In  this  expression  of 
our  praise,  however,  we  are  but  echo- 
ing a  voice  which  baa  long  ranked  him 
in  the  highebt  grade  of  poetical  esceU 
lence,  and  ranged  him  among  the  bright- 
est stars  of  our  poetical  constellation. 
Without  being  deficient  in  tendemesa, 
he  is  more  vigorous  than  sweet ;  %vith- 
out  wanting  ease  and  gracefulness,  the 
portraiture  of  the  loftier  passions  ia 
evidently  his  forte.  He  can  grasp  the 
thunderbolt,  or  trifle  with  the  lyre; 
and  he  has  falsified,  with  many  of^lhc 
brighter  and  better  spirits  of  the  day, 
the  hyperbolical  assertion  of  Rasiehu, 
"  thut  no  human  being  can  ever  be  a 
poeL'*  It  would  be  difficult  to  find 
a  poet,  indeed,  in  whom  the  highest 
attributes  of  the  divine  art  were  more 
closely  interwoven,  or  more  completely 
identified.  An  imagination  rich,  co- 
pious, and  varied — a  command  of  lan- 
guage prodigal,  exuberant,  and  whose 
boundary  is  only  our  vernacular  tongue 
—to  him  are  exposed  the  spirit  and  the 
mystery ;  he  peuetrates  the  depths  and 
recesses  of  the  human  heart;  and  he 
unites  the  most  vivid  powers  of  de- 
scription with  the  most  felicitous  ta- 
lents for  ilIu:itration. 

He  arrays  the  creations  of  an  ethe- 
real fancy  in  that  robe  of  light  and 
life,  which  is  the  truest  indication 
of  their  birth-place — a  mind  raised 
above  sordid  and  common- place  reali- 
ties, und  purified  of  its  "  earthy  "  feel- 
ing?, by  dwelling  on  the  eternal  forma 
of  bcAuiy  aud   perfection.    It  ia  bia

THIS  lut  of  books  is  a  considerable 
addition    lo   -the   nmnerom    treatises 
which  ha^x  been  already  puUialwdopo* 
popular  medicine.    Some  years  stoect 
three  yeora  in  the  schools  were  consi^ 
dered  sufficient,  by  professors  and  ao^ 
thors,  to  qualify  physicians   to  enter 
upon  the  practice  of  medicine  |    bat 
now  from  four  to  five  yean  are  judged 
necessary  for  the  attainment  of  the  in* 
dispensable  elemenury  knowledge  for 
a  degree,  and  absolutely  leqniied   by 
untveraity  sututes  almost  evcfv  where. 
Even  then,  it  is  not  pretended  that  an 
academical    education,   thns    ample, 
either  can  send  forth,  or  ia  meant  lo 
send  forth,  men  of  full  piactical  capa- 
bilities, like  Minerva,  foil  aimed  from 
the  head  of  Jove.    Bnt  it  is  expected, 
with  diligence  and  application  **  in  a 
right  course,'^  u|xm  the  part  of  the 
student,   to  lay  those  sound  and  in- 
dispensable   foundations— that   broad 
and  liberal  basis,  upon  which,  with 
future  observation  ot  esses  and  read- 
ing,   that   part    which    the    French 
term  the  **  pratique "  may  be  raised. 
The  theory  and  practice  of  medicine 
within  these  five  years  have  been  im- 
mensely changed  and  extended  W  the 
addition  of  new  facts  and  new  views. 
Cullen's  First  Lines,  which,  as  a  broad 
and  luminous  generalization  of   the 
laws  of  medicine,  was  once  a  guide  as 
universal  among  men    as  Blackstone 
among  lawyers,  is  now  surrendeicd  to 
dust  and  cobwebs,  position  after  posi- 
tion  having  broken  down,    or  been 
subjected  to  so  many  qualifications  and 
exceptions,    by  increased    experience 
and  more  minute  and  accurate  investi- 
gation, that  the  utility  of  the  great 
systematist  of  medicine  is  no  more. 
This  progress  of  medicine  has  been 
owing   chiefly    to   the    extraordinary 
vigour    of  the   French    pathologisu, 
especially   in    investigating    the    dis- 
eases of^  the  chest    and   brain,    and 
considerably  to  the  new  facts  acquired 
during  the  war  by  our  navy  and  army 
surgeons,    and    those  physicians  and 
surgeons  in   civil   practice   toho  have 
cultivated  morbid  anatomy  more  parti- 
cularly.   Sur^ry  having  so  advanced

dwindled  by  lusl  and  neglect!  Of 
two  retired  ttirgeons  whom  we  knew 
in  one  village,  one  mistook  his  own 
case,  both  in  cause,  prognostic,  aod 
treaimeat,  and  quicklv  dispatched  him- 
self out  of  the  world;  and  the  other 
contributed  principally  to  the  death  of 
his  own  child,  in  the  same  blundering 
and  self-iuRicient  manner;  sodifficDlE 
it  the  an  of  medicine,  and  so  perpe- 
tually do  the  faeiiUiei  require  to  be 
kepi  alive  To  it.  Yet  every  fool  sets  up 
for  an  oracle  in  physic;  for  physic  and 
mkinc  Ihe  fire  are  every  mnn'i  know- 
ledge in  hit  own  opinion.  There  have 
been  no  end  to  conceited  dabblers,  and 
Lady  Bnuntifuls,  from  the  reign  of 
Henry  VIII.,  when  all  the  ivomen  In 
the  country  clamoured  for  the  'ig*", 
and  obtained  it,  to  dispute  the  neld 
with  the  surgeon«,  to  the  present  time. 
The  books  entitled  "  Everyman  his 
own  lawyer,"  have  produced,  it  is  said, 
a  neble  list  of  ruined  clients  and  lost 
suits,  and  Buchan's  "  Domestic  Medi- 
cine,"  has  the  credit  of  having  created 
a  wholesale  destruction  of  livea.  We 
remember  an  aceomplishedjudge,  now 
no  more,  who  turned  pliysician  to  hit 
own  family.  Hit  daughter  was  seized 
w-iih  cholera  (  he  lnrne<l  over  Hrmbcr-

ascertained,  by  comparing  the  symp> 
loms  with  desctiplions,  that  the  dii. 
ease  corresponded  to  tlie  family  of  Di~ 
arrhocai,  but  as  diarrhlEBS  depend  oil

and  seals  can  be  deucled  only  by  the 


nl«Ige  of  the  nature  of  thi-  dist 

led  him  at  once  to  random  practice, 
and  dan^raus  a^ravaiiou  of  the  case. 
In  physic,  above  all  things  else,  a  liuie. 
learning  is  a  dangetous  thiii^. 

In  one  way,  however,  judicious  trea- 
tise* on  popular  medicine  are  of  ter- 
vice.  When  they  explain  the  com- 
|ilexity  of  structure,  and  the  endlest 
variety  of  the  seals  and  canies  of  dis- 
eases and  the  difficulty  of  discriminat- 
ing them,  ihey  teach  men  to  distrust 
half-educated  pretenders  and  quacks,, 
acting,  indeed,  upon  their  seoies,  like 
taking  a  bandage  from  the  eyes  of  a.

take it.  Popular  lectures  have  been 
given  with  this  view  in  this  country, 
with  effect.  The  Mechanics'  Insti- 
lates  are  a  good  medium.  People  think 
mote  correctly  on  medical  lubjeets  in 
France  than  in  England,  partly  through 
ihe  number  of  secondary  schools  of 
medicine  in  Ihe  larger  towns,  which 
excite  innuiry  and  difluse  information 
all  around  them  ;  and  thus  destroy  cre-

try,  "  five-sixths  of  the  practice  of  the 
medical  art  are  engrossed  by  the  igno«

of  ladies  and  landladies  for  such  peo- 
ple, and  the  ignorance  of  the  other  aex 
on  subjects  ofinedicine.

with  some  well-edncaled  men  in  France,  in 
the  army  and  other  professions,  who  pos-

Mr.  Cooke*s  work  on  the  Digestive 
Organs,  is  a  collection  of  instructive 
cases,  illustrative  of  every  variety  of 
disease  connected  with  them,  and  emi- 
nently well  calculated  for  general  prac- 
titioners, of  which  heterogeneous  oody 
the  author  of  the  **  Abridgment  of  Mor- 
gagni  "  is  a  hard-working  and  superior 
member. 

Dr.  T.  Forster*s  "  Illustrations  of  the 
Atmospherical  Origin  of  Epidemic 
Disorders  of  Health/'  relate  to  *'  pes- 
tilential, continued  and  intermitting 
fevers,  headaches,  and  numerous  forms 
of  nervous  and  dyspeptic,  as  well  as 
local  diseases,  not  usually  considered 
as  having  an  atmospherical  origin,  and 
to  the  twofold  means  of  prevention, 
mitigation  and  cure,  by  change  of  air, 
and  by  diet,  regularity,  and  simple  me- 
dicines :  with  proper  rules  for  observ- 
ing fasting  and  abstinence."  He  is 
the  author  of  a  very  interesting  and 
useful  volume,  the  Encyclopedia  of 
Natural  Phenomena,  and  numerous 
other  works;  and  the  essay  now  be- 
fore us,  displays  the  physician  and  na- 
turalist, the  man  of  learning  and  cu- 
rious observation.  There  are  true  and 
false  observers ;  and  Dr.  F.  is  of  the 


first  order.  Of  the  aingnlar  iafla* 
eoccs  of  the  atmosphere  on  the  ho- 
man  frame  which  he  has  noticed,  we 
have  seen  and  noted  down  many  kin- 
dred examples. 

Dr.  Stevenson*s  *'  Familiar  Trce- 
tise"  is  deservedly  placed  the  lowest 
in  the  list;  the  famiUmriiy  being  aoch 
as  breeds  contempt.  It  has  no  daim 
to  rank  with  the  books  which  precede 
it.  The  doctor  is  a  waj|;  hia  *'  fiuoe 
is  physic,  and  hia  phyaic  m  farce  is.'' 
Of^the  very/onn/ter  and  oolkM|oial  at-

"  Digestion  also  Is  assisted  fay  takiv

larger  work,  Mr.  Allen  waa  well  fitted 
for  the  compilation  of  this.  He  hu 
evidently  taken  much  pains,  to  con- 
dense so  much  information  into  ao

built  under  the  direction  of  the  Com-

^0O(,  but  the  latter  adds  to  discomfort 
a  Kobinton-Crusoeism,  which  its  sub- 
jects may  not  be  capacitated  to  endure. 
Nevertheless,  great  mistakes  eiist  on 
this  Russian  punishment,  and  we  much 
doubt  whether  ladies  and  gentlemen 
would  noi  be  as  miMrable  in  the  He- 
brides as  in  Siberia,  because  we  do 
not  believe  that  in  the  former  islands, 
no  more  than  in  the  latter  continent, 
they  know  how  to  make  ice  and  snow 
delicious  by  intermixing  cream,  sugar, 
and  fruits.  An  "  Exile  to  Siberia*'  is 
however  the  matter  which  has  most 
brought  that  country  into  notice,  and 
one  which  shows  how  transportation 
may  be  made  an  excellent  instrument 
of  Reform ;  we  shall  first  extract  our 
Author's  accounts  of  it. 

**  Behind  ■  Urge  body  of  metdowi,  on 
the  declivity  of  a  hill,  exposed  to  che  south, 
we  saw  several  jourtu  (huts)  beautifully  si- 
tuated, and  on  inquiry,  I  was  informed  that 
they  contained  a  colony  of  banished  men, 
tent  thither  by  order  of  the  Government. 
They  appeared  very  well  off,  having  com- 
fortable dwellings,  cattle,  &c.  They  cer- 
tainly had  few  luxuries;  but  with  common 
industry,  livine  on  the  banks  of  a  river, 
abounding  with  fish  and  i^amc,  and  where 
there  were  good  soil  and  fine  pastures,  they 
could  never  want  for  the  necessaries  of  life, 
unless  too  indolent  to  procure  them.  Those 
people  call  themselves  Poasellemies  or  Co- 
lonists, and  are  styled  in  Siberia  Reshcbast- 
oie  Loodle,  or  unfortunate  jieople ;  no  ba- 
nished man,  though  he  be  a  couvict  of  the 
worst  description,  l>eing  ever  called  in  that 
country  by  a  name  that  can  wound  his  feel- 
ings, »o  as  to  remind  him  of  crimes  for  which 
he  it  already  supposed  to  have  been  puuish- 
ed,  or  degrade  him  in  the  opinion  of  the 
public.  This  shows  not  only  very  sound  po- 
licy, but  a  proper  delicacy  of  the  Governors 
towards  the  feeling  of  these  poor  people ;  a 
delicacy  highly  commendable,  as  by  throw- 
ing a  veil  over  their  past  crimes,  they  not 
only  make  them  forget  what  they  have  been, 
but  induce  them  to  emulate  the  very  many 
examples  before  them  of  retrieved  criminals, 
who  have  become  honest,  industrious,  good 
•ubjecu.*' 

**  Banishment  to  such  a  country  as  Si- 
beria, then,  is  certainly  no  such  terrible  in- 
fliction, except  to  a  Russian,  who,  perhape 
of  all  beings  upon  earth,  possesses  the 
strongest  attachment  to  the  soil  on  which 
he  grows — taking  root,  like  the  trees  that 
surround  him,  and  pining,  when  transplanted 
to  another  spot,  even  thouffh  it  should  be 
to  a  neighbouring  province  better  than  his 


own.  Too  moeh  praise  cannot  be  besiowaf 
on  the  humane  system  adopted  by  Uia  Rus- 
sian Government  in  saving  the  liven  of  cri- 
minals, without  distinction,  and  tmnaport- 
ing  them  to  Siberia,  to  avcment  the  popula- 
tion of  a  fine  countrv  much  in  want  of  inha 
bitanu,  where  their  morals  are  ■trietlj 
watched,  and  where  they  soon  becoaaa  useliii, 
good  people." — i.  335. 

The  next  extract  ihowa,  that  aome 
of  them  are  employed  in  useful  la- 
bours ;  the  profits  of'^which  are  applied 
to  the  aid  of  hospitals,  and  other  pob- 
lic  institutions.  By  prohibiting  private 
sale,  no  injury  is  clone  to  tradesmeo. 

**  Tlicre  is  one  immense  large  brick  build- 
ing, not  ht  from  the  little  river  Ouabakof- 
skoy,  where  I  found  the  workshrtps  of  the 
exiles.     In  that  large  range  one  sees  joiners, 
carpenters,  carriage-makers,  saddlers,  black- 
smiths, and  in  short  all  sorts  of  tradesmen^ 
busily  occupied,  and  all  provkled  with  com- 
foruble   apartments,    clean   clothing,    and 
wholesfime  food.     From  this  we  paaaed  to 
the    cloth-factory,    the    contemplation    of 
which  afforded  roe  much  pleasure,  when  I 
recollected  that  those  beings  before  me,  who 
were  once  the  victims  of  depravity,  cxhi* 
bited  no  loncer  any  thing  to  inspire  ma  with 
the  idea  of  their  having  been  criminals.    AU 
was  gaiety  and  cheerfulness.     There  I  sav 
men,  women,  and  children,  all  industriously 
employed   in   weavini^    spinning,    carding, 
picking  wool,  &c.     They  were  arranged  u 
several  large,  clean,  warm,  and  comfortable 
apartments;    and   they   really    appeared  as 
contented  as  any  labourers  I  ever  saw ;  fbr 
they  looked  fat  and  bealthv." 

'*  The  cloth  is  made  from  the  wool  and 
hair  of  the  Buretta  sheep,  camels,  and  goats. 
It  suods  the  Government  in  ahont  a  ronble 
the  archin,  and  sells  fur  two  roubles.  This 
profit,  after  paying  the  expenses  of  the  ma- 
nufscttiry,  leaves  a  surplus  that  b  used  to 
furnish  the  hospiuls,  and  for  other  laudable 
purposes.  Such  an  institution  does  hononr 
to  any  country ;  nor  can  there  he  a  mora 
praiseworthy  application  of  the  industry  of 
those  exiles,  than  that  which  operates  to 
relieve  the  sick,  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow."     il.  91. 

Upon  this  extract  we  shall  make 
some  remarks.  I'hese  exiles  are  gay, 
cheerful,  fat,  and  healthy.  The  truth 
is,  that  perpetual  eniployment  is  essen- 
tial to  happiness.  Under  disease,  the 
punishment  of  Providence,  people  can 
do  nothing.  If  foreign  countries  make 
criminals  earn  more  than  their  main- 
tenance, and  give  their  profiu  to  the 
public,  we  do  not  hesitate  to  say,  that 
there  is  folly  in  the  great  expense  at- 
tached to  our  modfs  of  punishment.

•titulioni  and  mannert  have  upon  cha- 
racter and  focial  welUbeing,  what  na- 
taral  obstacles  are  easily  surmounted, 
these  and  man  j  similar  valuable  results 
are  attached  to  the  knowledge  of  foreign 
countries.  To  enumerate  particulars 
is  unnecessar^f,  for  everv  thmg  exotic 
that  is  intermingled  with  our  arts  and 
our  commerce,  shows  that  it  must  (to 
let  off  a  truism)  have  originated  in  fo« 
reign  intercourse.  Our  own  country 
is  an  especial  proof;  what  have  we 
that  is  aboriginal  ?  Nothing  that  we 
know  of,  butCeltic  visages  and  conform- 
ations to  be  found  in  Wales,  for  every 
thing  else  has  a  connterprt  elsewhere. 

Mr.  Fuller  modestly  states  that  his 
object,  as  a  traveller,  was  simply  to 
amuse  himself;  but  as  he  has  com- 
mitted to  writing  his  observations,  he 
has  of  course  made  a  drawing  which 
others  as  well  as  himself  are  edified  by 
beholding.  He  has  accumulated  a 
vast  mass  of  matter,  which  in  general 
is  uncommonly  interesting,  and  the 
more  so,  because  it  is  delivered  in  an 
unostentatious  manner.  As  in  inte- 
restins  conversation  knowledge  is  ac- 
quired without  the  fatigue  of  study, 
and  that  knowledge  is  of  far  higher 
moment  than  Mr.  Fuller's  diffidence 
allows  to  it.  For  instance,  what  an 
excellent  illustration  of  the  New  Tes- 
tament is  afforded  by  his  simple  unas- 
suming narrative  of  his  adventures  and 
sights  on  the  banks  of  the  Jordan  and 
the  sea  of  Tiberias. 

We  shall  first  notice  some  of  these. 
The  apostles  often  mention  bringing 
people  on  their  way.     Mr.  F.  says, 

**  Htre  W6  halted,  and  took  leave  of  • 
Bomtroiu  party  of  friends,  who,  accordiag 
to  the  anetent  custom  of  the  East,  had  ac- 
oompanied  ui  that  tax  on  our  way."— p.  60. 

W*e  read  of  the  children  of  Israel 
being  beaten  for  not  making  up  their 
ouotas  of  bricks.  It  appears  that  at 
tne  present  day  workmen  of  the  Pacha 
of  ligypt  are  under  the 

"  Vigilant  superintendance  of  Albanian 
taskmasters,  who  stand  by  with  long  sticks 
in  their  hands,  which  they  applj  without 
ceremony  to  every  loitering  operative."— 
p.  184. 

At  Siout,  Mr.  Fuller  found  the  Go- 
vernor, according  to  ancient  custom, 
sitting  at  the  f^te. — p.  17I. 

The  followmg  geographical  descrip- 
tion excites  the  strongest  interest : 

*•  It  took  us  nearly  two  hours  to  dlmb

ward a  succession  of  swelling  downa  cxtaadi 
to  the  plains  of  Jordaa,  and  the   view  is 
closed  in  that  direction  hj  the  monntimi  of

therefore,  e  huEe  nbiiirdiiy  to  deduce 
the  origin  of  Gothic  architecture  from 
lanciful  hypotheses,  when  the  very 
siylea  themselves  af  clearly  denote 
their  respective  origins,  as  elephants 
and  iiaiji.  Tbe  (Abased  Rom«n  ia

call  Gothic,  is  no  other  than  the  ordi- 
nary architecture  of  the  Saracens  be- 
fore and  during  the  Crusadet.t  Sir 
Christopher  Wren  was  of  the  same 
opinion.  It  matters  not  that  ingenious 
and  learned  men  have  made  Gothic 
arc bi lecture  a  favouriie  subjeci  for 
mooting.  The  respective  pc^grett  of 
the  two  distinct  styles  arc  39  clear  and 
satisfactory  as  those  rclalive  to  peer- 
ages or  estates.

icliefi,  &e.  from  ancient  Greece.  At 
the  foundation  of  their  Cathedral  in 
J0l6,  they  obtained  Greek  artists,  and 
among  the  rest,  one  Bouchet  of  Dali- 
chtuni.  That  work  broufi^ht  pupils  to 
Bouchet,  who  built  in  forty  years  more 
St.  John's  at  Pisa,  and  St.  Martin's  at 
Lucca.  From  Bouchet  and  his  pupils 
issued,  in  less  than  another  century, 
other  architects.*  Such  is  the  history 
of  architecture  at  Pisa,  and  to  the  cir- 
cumstances there  stated,  vce  ascribe  all 
the  anomalies  which  have  occasioned 
so  much  contention.  One  word  more. 
It  is  wrong  to  make  the  pointed  arch 
any  denotation  of  xra,  for  it  occurs  in 
the  ruins  of  Babylon,  Tyrins,  &c.  and 
u  neither  more  or  less  than  a  most  an- 
cient form  of  arch,  foimcd  by  making 
two  stones  lean  together  at  their  heads.*!* 
In  thus  boldly  uttering  our  conviction, 
that  the  Saxon  and  Gothic  are  of  un- 
connected funiilies,  we  shall  doubtless 
excite  the  anger  of  those  who  will  have 
them  to  be  Saxon  and  son,  or  more 
properly,  from  the  lighter  style  of  the 
Gothic,  Saxon  and  daughter  ;  but  we 
reply.

II.  Observations  on  the  round  Church 
Tovcrs  of  Norfolk.  Hy  Mr.  Samuel 
Woodward,  of  Norwich. 

The  writer  states  his  conviction  that 
they  were  built  in  this  fashion  through 
necessity,  in  consequence  of  the  ab> 
scncc  01  freestone  in  the  soil ;  and  can- 
not be  ascribed  to  the  styles  of  either 
Saxons,  Danes,  or  Normnns. 

III.  Oiservations  on  the  Ecclesias^ 
tical  Round  Towers  of  Norfolk  and 
Suffolk,  By  John  Gage,  Esq.  F.U.S. 
Director. 

Mr.  Gage,  rejecting  the  ascription  of 
these  towers  to  the  Danes,  as  unsup- 
ported by  evidence,  conceives  that  there 
is  but  one  of  them  which  is  more  an- 
cient than  the  twelfth  century;  and 
that  one  not  earlier  than  the  Norman 
time.  He  thinks  it  highly  probable 
that  they  were  imitations  of  the  mili- 
lary  round  tower,  and  that  they  were 
disused  from  being  found  n^  well 
adapted  for  bells.  Now  it  is  well 
known  that  church-towers  were  the 
village  fortresses,  and  Norfolk  and 
SuHblk  being  maritime  counties,  wc

think  with  Mr.  Gage,  that  milhaiy 
purposes  might  have  influenced  the 
form,  hut  that  the  disuse  might  have 
been  caused  by  the  cessation  of  inva- 
sions. 

IV.  Petition  of  Richard  TrougJUa» 
to  the  Privy  Council.  Communicated 
by  Frederic  Madden,  Esq.  F.A.S. 

Poor  Richard  Troughtoa  (who  or 
whence    unknown)   had   got    into  a 
scrape  concerning  his    political    coo* 
duct,  at  a  very  hazardous  period,  and 
hands  to  the   Privy  Council  a  long 
string  of  details  atx)ot  his  innocence, 
the  accusation,  he  says,  haviog  been 
trumped    up    by    an    enemy    named 
Wimbersley.    The  period  alluded  to 
was  the  interregnum  between  the  no- 
minal usur]>aiion  of  the  martyred  Lady 
Jane  Grey,  and  the  real  accession  of 
the  martyring  Mary;  and   the  chief 
bearing  of  the  present  contemporary 
paper  is  to  show  the  state  of  \)Opu1ar 
feeling  at  the  time.    To  express  our- 
selves in  the  manner  of  Fuller  (a  wri- 
ter whom  we  like,  because  he  is  en- 
tertaining, and  because  his  wit  is  com- 
monly the  offspring  of  strong  sense,) 
the  i>eopIe  seem  very  honestly  to  have 
thought   that    Marv,  like   ^u,  had 
been  cheated  out  of*  her  birih-right  by 
a  very  unworthv  Jacob,  Northumber- 
land.   Of  |>oor  Lady  Jane  herself,  th^ 
seem  to  hnve  known  nothing;  terror 
made  them   cautious,   but  could   not 
restrain  curiosity;  and  the  manner  in 
which  they  angled  for  news  (there  be- 
ing then  no  journals)  is  very  arousing. 
Tyranny  is  instigated  by  fear,  and  the 
alarm  of  a  magistrate,  and  ihc  suffer- 
ing of  a  poor  fellow  for  being  indis- 
creetly communicative  of  a  plain  mat- 
ter or  fact,  shows  the  state  of  internal 
government  at  that  time.     Troughtoa 
says,  that  they  met

[Junr^ 


coMomary  in  thost  timet  to  force  the 
luffercrn  lo  do  so'. 

To  thii  p&prr  is  annexed  a  long  note 
concerning  Henry's  claim  to  tne  au- 
thorshiii  of  the  Reply  to  Luther,  for 
which  he  was  rewarded  with  the  triim* 


manAilly  exposed  the  system  of  which 
Mr.  Montgomery  was  to  be  the  vic- 
tim. He  has  many  fiTst-rate  qoalificft* 
tions  for  the  office  of  a  critic ;  he  un- 
derstands the  principles  of  his  art,  and 
hot  studied  its  laws.  He  reasons  where 


verer  process  or  analysis,  and  the  ap: 
plication  of  established  canons  •  to  the 
matter  at  issue.  He  invesiigates  be- 
fore he  decides. 

The  coniroversv  between  Mr.  Mont- 
gomery and  his  Reviewers  is  neither 
unimportant  nor  uninteresting,  and 
Mr.  Clark  son  has  laid  the  question 
fdirly  before  the  pnblic. 

The  Fifly  sixth  Annual  Rrport  <f  the  Aoyol 
Humane  Soeiety.     8uQ.p/i.Itf4. 

TH  E  Reports  of  the  Societ j  are  like 
its  acts,  proere^sive  in  interest  and  im- 
portance. Each  Report  opens  a  new 
door  of  inquiry  into  ibe  nachinei^of 
vitality;  and  suggests  new  precautio- 
nary or  resuscitative  measarei;  for  it 
appears,  that  there  is  a  strong  appmin 
mation  to  truth  in  the  treatise  <^  He- 
raclides  of  Pontus  ''  r^i  tov  sMrMv, " 
on  the  failure  of  respiration ; — in  whieh= 
he  declares. 


|)cry  compliment  of  '*  Defensor  fidei,"  others  dogmatise;  and  offers  for  flippant 
a  title  not  even  new  or  worthy  royal  sarcasm  and  emj>ty  generalities,  the 
rank ;  for  churchwardens  were  deno- 
uiinated  defentores  eccletiarum  paro^ 
ckialium.  Indeed,  it  may  be  suspected 
that  Henry  only  desired  the  title  from 
a  feeling  «if  pricfe  in  regard  to  a  limibr 
liile  appertaining  to  the  Emperor.  To 
be  upon  an  equality  with  him,  Henry 
seemingly  wrote,  or  caused  to  be  writ- 
ten this  book,  and  the  fear  of  irritating 
the  Emperor  possibly  occasioned  thai 
hesitation  at  Rome,  of  which  Mr. 
Bruce  speaks  so  diflusely.  We  sup- 
|)Ose  thus  from  ^pelman,  v.  Advocare, 
who  says,  as  literally  translated, 

'*  At  tlie  present  time,  on  his  inaugnra- 
tion,  the  Emperor  professes  himself  advo' 
eate  of  the  Church ;  the  King  of  England 
Defender  qfthe  Faith;  which  title,  decreed 
by  Leo  X.,  was  at  length  afterwards  con- 
ferred by  «  .golden  bull  of  Clement  VII. 
upon  Henry  VllI,  because  he  had  defended 
the  Roman  Church  against  Luther.** 

When  Charles  was  in  London  in 
1523,  the  performers  in  the  Pageants 
saluted  both  with  Carolus  Henricus 
vivat  defensor  uterque,  Henricus  fidei, 
Carolus  Ecclesias. 

(To  be  coniintied.) 

Robert  Montgomery  and  hit  Reviewert.    By 
Edward  Clarkson.  pp,  164.    Ridgeway. 

IN  our  notice  of  .Mr.  Montgomery's 
poem  of  "Satan,"  we  spoke  of  the 
personal  character  of  many  of  the  cri- 
ticisms directed  against  his  writings, 
and  we  still  think  that  his  enemies 
have  done  themselves  but  little  honour 
by  their  inglorious  warfare  against  a 
young  poet,  who,  standing  on  the  van- 
^gc  ground  of  pnblic  approbation,  may 
wefl  smile  at  the  impotent  malice  of 
those  who  are  attempting  to  displace 
him.  Our  own  opinions  of  his  merit 
have  been  given  without  passion  or 
prejudice  ;  we  had  no  quarrel  to  avenge. 
We  fear  many  of  his  assailants  cannot 
say  as  much. 

Not  fully  concurring,  however,  in 
all  the  opinions  and  postulates  of  Mr. 
ClarVson,  who  is  an  able  advocate  and 
a  staunch  defender,  we  think  he  has 
brought  to  his  work  much  general  in- 
/bjYnation  on  English  poevty,  and  Vv3i% 


"  That  this  disorder  may  continue  for 
thirty  days,  and  yet  the  patient  rteoter; 
and  further  intimates  his  opinioQy  that  the 
commencement  of  putrc&ction  is  neecnan 
to  indicate  death.'* — ^p.  6. 

From  hence  it  ia  evident  that,  al- 
though persons  may  be  eveo  irreco- 
verable, they  are  still  not  dead.  lo 
1788  the  gold  medal  of  the  Society 
was  adjudged  lo  Dr.  Pearson  of  Birm- 
ingham, for  his  dissertation  on  the 
question  proposed  by  Dr.  Hawes. 

*'  Are  there  any  positiva  aicna  of  the  ex- 
tinction of  life,  indeoendcnt  ofpatre&etios^ 
and  if  so,  what  are  they  '"—p.  18*. 

This  question  the  Doctor  decides  ia 
the  negative. 

It  is,  therefore,  exceedingly  impio* 
per  to  bury  persons  before  putrefac- 
tion has  commenced. 

"  It  appean  that,  in  a  drowned  peisoa  st 
least,  both  sense  and  motion  are  auspendsd, 
and  that  both  are  capable  of  being  lacallad 
by  the  use  of  artificud  respiratiDn  and  the 
application  of  continual  warmth." p.  n. 

This  extract  shows  in  what  manner 
suspended  animation  differs  from  death. 
The  latter  consists  in  utter  organic  in- 
capacity of  further  viul  action  {  and

ARCNITtCTURilL  OKSIONS  AND  MOOKLS. 

Thk  Librart. — There  are  few  periodicals 
In  which  the  collection  of  architectural 
drawings  and  modeb  exhibited  in  this  confined 
room  are  even  noticed;  this  omnsion  we 
will  endeavour  to  supply  by  a  few  remarks 
upon  the  most  prominent. 

The  designing  of  visionary  palaces  ami 
other  public  buildings  on  a  scale  so  extended 
as  to  preclude  the  nostibility  of  thrir  erec- 
tion, is  neither  calculated  to  enhance  the 
popularity  of,  or  add  great  encouragement 
to  the  science  of  architecture ;  as  such  sub- 
jecis  are  likely  to  exist  on  |iaper  only,  we 
pass  over  them  without  notice;  preferriug 
wluit  in  our  estimation  are  more  useful  de- 
signs to  occupy  our  readers'  attention.  In 
ecctesiatttcal  architecture^  the  collection  u 
not  so  rich  in  actual  buildings,  as  the 
numlier  of  new  churches  mieht  lead  the 
visitor  to  expec',  but  many  of  the  designs 
display  great  knowledge  of  the  detail  o{  the 
pointed  st]rle,  and  evince  that  some  srchi- 
tects  are  to  be  found  who  are  endeavouiing 
to  redeem  the  credit  of  the  profession  from 
the  negligence  hitherto  displayed  with  regard 
to  the  arohitectnre  of  their  native  country. 

In  this  class  Mr.  Savage  exhibits  Nos.  1 005, 
Jkew  Chtipel  at  SpcenhamloHd,  and  1077»

the  lancet  stvle,  the  west  front  being  a  meagre

estate  at  Blmckheath.  G.  Smith — Aa  wa  wmf 
probalily  notice  this  church  at  a  futare 
period,  it  is  only  necessary  to  obecrva  al 
present  that  it  is  a  handsome  building,  with 
a  slender  spire,  ditpla}ing  more  effect  than 
currectocM  in  the  execution.  The  circuBk- 
stance  of  geutlrmen  building  churches  on 
their  estates  s))eaks  well  for  the  prcseat 
times  ;  such  instances,  it  is  pleasing  to  ob- 
serve, are  becoming  frequent,  and  every 
well-wiklier  of  the  church  miiat  rejoiea  ia  a 
step  which,  above  all  others,  will  best  con- 
duce to  the  welfare  of  the  Estoblnhmeaty 
aud  it  is  hoped  that  the  patronage  clause  ia 
one  of  the  acts  for  building  new  chordiei 
will  greatlv  increase  them,  and  thM  indi- 
viduals will  be  found  benevolent  enough 
to  expend  a  pirtion  of  tlieir  fortunes  on 
such  buildings,  and  coursgeoua  enougli  to 
effect  their  object,  in  despite  of  the  sneers  ef 
an  infidel  press,  iir  the  iuterested  oppoeitioa 
of  any  grasping;  or  factious  individual  who 
may  endeavour  to  impede  their  exertions.

tendf  is  not  tlia  queitioa  for  coofkleretioo, 
for  tnch  an  arfturoent  woald  ttrike  at  the 
root  of  all  DatwDal  Honoraria.  The  troe 
enquiry  is  this — whether  a  nation's  gratitude 
sbookit  or  should  not,  be  evbced  tmiards 
htniy  who  has  done  so  much  for  h'ls  country's 
literature ;  and  given  every  Englishman  one 
of  his  best  reasons  for  being  proud  of  the 
soil  that  bore  him. 

It  is  proptsed  to  erect  a  monnoMnt  to 
Shakspeare,  "  worthy  of  the  Genius  of  the 
Poet,  the  progress  of  the  Arts,  and  the 
grandeur  of  the  Empire."  To  effsct  this 
object  it  appears  desirable  that  a  Public 


Meeting  be  called,— a  SubeoriptHm  •ciiw 
foot, — and  a  Treasurer,  of  high  chnracter, 
appointed.  That  such  subscription  do  aot 
exceed  Ten  Pounds  firona  any  individunl ;  and 
that  it  be  unrestricted  as  to  smallDeea  of 
amount.  That  a  Committee  of  Noblemen 
wJoA  Gentlemen,  not  less  diatinguisbod  for 
their  public  and  private  worthv  than  for 
their  love  of  Literature,  (as  a  gaanatoe  to 
the  Subscribers  for  taste  in  tho  exeetUioo  of 
the  Memorial,  and  for  integrity  in  the  ma- 
nagement of  the  Funds)  be  eboeea  to  carry 
the  necessary  proceedings  into  foU  effsot.— »

fonnd  in  Dorsetshire. 

The  remainder  of  Bamaby  Rich's  Trea- 
tise on  Ireland  was  read ;  as  was  an  Essay 
<*  on  the  ori|nn  of  Colnmnsr  Architecture, 
by  WUIiam  Hosking,  Esq.  F.S.A."  The 
writer  considers,  that  in  the  mfkncy  of  the 
world  stone  was  employed  for  sacred  edifices 
alone ;  that  the  rude  cromlechs  and  altars 
were  the  first  eiforts  of  architecture ;  that 
from  the  combinations  of  such  erections  fas 
at  Carnac,  Stonehenge,  &c.)  arose  the  first 
temples,  which  are  known  to  have  been 
without  roofs  ;  and  that,  therefore^  the  hy- 
pothesis which  has  been  generally  enter- 
tained, that  the  idea  of  columns  was  derived 
from  the  trunks  of  trees,  which  supported 
the  domestic  habitations  of  the  patriarchs, 
is  groundless  and  incoherent,  tiiere  being  no 
connexion  between  their  domestic  and  reli* 
gious  architecture. 

Mr.  John  Burton  presented  No.  10,  of 
his  **  Excerpts  Hieroglyphiea,"  containing 
many  Egyptian  antiquities  executed  in  litho-

accompanied  by  a  drawing  by  Mr.  Gwoigt

The  Rev.  J(»hn  Skinner,  F.S.A.  ewmnn- 
nicated  a  syno|)tical  account  of  the  diseovw- 
ries  at  Csmerton,  in  Somersetshire,  between 
the  years  1815  and  1819,  with  a  dasseita- 
tion  in  support  of  his  idea,  that  Caaerton 
was  the  site  of  a  Roman  station  named 
Cameloduuum. 

JuTie  17.     Mr.  Gumey  in  the  Chair. 

John  Britton,  Esq.  F.S.A.  exhibited  se- 
veral drawings  executed  under  his  direetion 
of  the  Monumental  Chapel  of  Henry  V.  in 
Westminster  Abbey. 

Dawson  Turner,  Esq.  F.S.A.  exhibited  a 
curious  ancient  enamelled  bowl.  It  b  of  cop- 
per, and  has  originally  heeu  gilt.  The  ioMde 
IB  richly  ornamented  with  arabesqua  folbge 
interspersed  with  figures  and  animals.  The 
whole  relieved  by  a  blue  ground.  At  the  bade 
of  the  bowl  is  engraved  a  kite-shaped  shield, 
besring  quarterly  per  pale  ...  bends,  and  a 
lion  rampant.  The  vessel  is  furnished  with 
a  spout,  in  the  form  of  an  animal's  head, 
which  communicates  with  tlie  bowl  by  four 
or  five  perforations  in  the  side,  forming  a 
strainer.  It  is  p<Msible  this  expedient  was 
adopted  for  pouring  out  the  liquid  in  the 
bowl,  clear  of  the  spices  or  substantial  ingre- 
dients which  it  might  contain.  This  splaodid 
vessel  is  as  old  at  least  as  the  early  part  of 
the  ISth  century.

HISTORICAL  CHRONICLE. 


PROCEEDINGS    IN    PARLIAMENT. 


Houti  OP  Lords,  May  94. 

The  Duke  off^rllington  nmenfd  a  Ma- 
nge from  the  King,  in  wnich  hU  Majesty 
was  plessed  to  ioforin  Parliameott  that  it 
was  loconveDient  and  painful  to  hioiy  in 
coiuequeDce  of  severe  inditpositioo»  to  tlgo 
with  his  owo  hand  public  iutrameou  re- 
quiring the  SioNMANUJiL.  The  King  recoui- 
ineoded  to  his  faithful  IVliacneat  to  adopt 
•uch  lueasurea  as  would  ensMc  hit  Majesty 
to  cive  due  effect  to  tuch  puUlic  iDstruments 
without  hit  sigoature  during  his  temporsij 
indisposition. — After  a  few  wronls  from  Earl 
Grey,  who  observed  that  he  contidered  this 
a  question  of  great  iiuportauce,  aud  that  it 
was  necessary  to  proceed  with  great  circum- 
spection, in  order  that  no  Iinj>rop<'r  prece- 
dent might  be  introduced,  an  Address  was 
voted,  returning  thanks  to  his  Majesty  for 
his  gracious  Message,  assuring  his  Majesty 
that  his  faitliful  Parliament  learned  with  re- 
gret that  his  Majesty  was  labouring  under 
severe  indisposition,  from  which  they  prayed, 
under  favour  of  Divine  Providence,  that  he 
might  be  s|>eedily  relieved — and  assuring  his 
Majesty,  that  the  House  would  proceed 
without  delay  to  adopt  such  measures  as 
would  enable  his  Majesty  to  give  the  same 
effect  to  public  documents,  during  his  Ma- 
jesty's temporary  indi9|>«»sition,  as  if  they 
had  received  his  Majesty's  sign-manual. 

The  Earl  of  Abcrditn  laid  upon  the  uble 
the  official  documents  relative  to  the  affairs 
of  Greece.  The  noble  Karl  suted  that 
Prince  Leopold  had  declined  the  proffered 
sovereignty  of  that  country.  From  the  20th 
of  February  until  within  the  last  few  days 
the  delay  in  the  Prince's  accepunce  of  the 
•ceptre  of  Greece  had  been  occasioned  by 
pecuniary  demands,  which  had  st  last  been 
assented  to;  but  on  the  Slst*  he  had  re- 
ceived an  intimation  from  his  Royal  High- 
ness of  his  determination  to  resign  the 
throne  which  he  had  so  recently  accepted. — 
Lord  Durham  thought  that  the  noble  Earl 
ought  to  have  abstained  from  entering  upon 
the  subject  of  bis  Kuyal  Highness's  resigna- 
iion,  seeing  that  it  was  neither  more  nor 
less  than  an  accusation  founded  upon  papers 
nut  before  the  House,  but  iu  his  Liordship's 
own  possession. — ^The  Martfucxs  of  Lomhm- 
dtrry  said,  tliat  he  had  always  considered 
Ilia  Royal  Highness  wrong  in  ever  looking 
at  all  to  become  the  sovereign  of  a  people 
like  the  Greeks-  His  Lordship  added,  that 
ha  thought  that  Russia  had  an  intention  of 
grasping  Greece  as  she  had  done  Poland. 

In  the  House  or  Commons,   the  same 
dmy.  Sir  Robert  Peel  brought  up  a  M««sa^e 
frow  his  Majesty,  to  the  same  cQecV  as  tW 


in  the  Lords  introduced  by  thm  Daka  of 
Wellington,  when  an  Address,  ainiilar  to 
Uie  one  voted  by  their  Lordshipa^  w» 
agreed  to. 

Sir  Robert  Peel  broogbt  up  a  noinlNr  of 
papers  relative  to  the  amira  of  Grebcb*  aai 
auted,  that  the  expectations  entartaiaod  by 
his  Majesty's  Government  that  Prince  Let^ 
pold  would  be  the  Sovereign  of  Grecca  weia 
disappointed,  for  that  his  Highness  had 
siguined  to  his  Majesty's  Government  hb 
intention  to  abdicate  — Nlr.  Brmtgham  said, 
that,  under  all  the  circunutances,  he  was 
not  at  all  surprised  that  Prince  LeopoU  bad 
declined  the  proffered  honour. 

On  the  motion  of  Sir  Robert  PeH,  tb« 
House  resolved  itself  into  a  Committee  on 
the  FoROBRY  Bill.  On  the  clause  being 
read  fi*r  making  the  forgery  of  Exchequer 
bills,  promissory  notes,  &o.  a  oa|iltal  offence, 
Sir  James  Mackintosh  rosSt  ff»r  the  purpose 
of  moving  an  instruction  to  the  Committee 
to  abolish  the  punishment  of  death  in  all 
cases  of  forgery.  The  atteratioas  that  he 
be<;ged  to  propose  were,  tliat  tbe  Court 
which  sentenced,  might,  inneail  of  death, 
appropriate  imprisonment  with  hard  labour 
for  more  than  1 4  years,  with  powrr  to  order 
solitary  con6nt-ment  when  required,  or  that 
the  Court  should  sentence  to  iransportatioe 
beyimd  the  seas  for  more  tlum  14  years; 
and  if  any  case  of  extraordinary  atrocity 
should  occur,  tlie  Court  to  have  the  right 
to  order  both  termn  <»f  punishment,  the  one 
to  commence  at  the  conclusion  of  the  other. 
He  also  proposetl,  that  the  right  which  the 
Colonial  Governments  exercised  of  abridging 
the  |ieriod  of  banishment  should  be  with- 
drawn, and  that  no  mitigation  should  take 
place,  without  an  ap|>eal  to  the  Throne  it- 
self.— Sir  Robert  Peel  said,  that  it  would 
not  Ite  prudent  entirely  to  abolish  the  pu- 
nishment of  death.  If  the  punishment  of 
death  were  removed^  the  fear  of  imprison- 
ment would  not  operate  as  a  sufficient  dis- 
couragement. He  should  feel  happy  to 
agree  to  some  mitigation  of  the  law,  if  any 
were  propofed  to  which  he  could  conscien- 
tiously accedes  but  he  must  now  express 
his  conscientious  conviction,  that  the  pre- 
sent proposition  would  not  tend  to  the  sup- 
pression of  crime. — Mr.  Brougham  felt  him- 
self bound  to  come  to  an  opposite  conclusion 
to  that  of  the  Riffht  Hon.  Gentleman.  It  was 
pretended  that  the  retention  of  the  punbh- 
ment  of  death  was  necessary  for  the  protec- 
tion of  private  bankers ;  but  the  table  groaned 
under  tlie  petitions  which  those  persons  had 
presented,  praying  for  the  abolition  of  that 
YvmUluuent. — Mr.  F,  Buxton  supported  the

DOMESTIC    OCCURRENCES. 


[June, 


INTELUGENCE  I-TIOM  VARIOUS 
PARTS  OF  THE  COUNTRY. 


RaUuvy  Carriages, -^  June  14.  Tlie  di- 
rcctora  of  the   Liverpool  and   Maocbctter 
Railway  made  their  first  public  exhibition 
upon  the  line,  and  the  experiment  proved 
most  lucceMful.     The  Arrow  eteam-engine 
drew  a  carriage  with  twelve  inside  passen- 
gerif  anotlier  witli  thirty  ouuide.  and  seven 
carriages    loaded  with  thirty-four  tons  of 
roufth  stone.     The  journey  from  Liverpool 
to  Manchester    (rather   more    than   thirty 
miles)  was  performed  in  two  hours  «3|  mi- 
nutes, including  stoppam  for  water,  which 
occupied  13  J  minutes.   They  left  Manches- 
ter again  for  Laverpool  about  half- past  four 
o'clock,    at  the  rate    of    about  95  miles 
the  hour,  drawing  two  very  Urge  carriages 
witli  upwards  of  fifty  passengers,  and  per- 
formed the  whole  disUnco  in  one  hour  4Gj 
minutes,    including    18    minutes    watering 
and  to  set  down  a  passenger. 

The  introduction  of  Roil  ways  is  likely  to 
be  as  beneficial  iu  improving  the  accommo- 
dation afforded  to  travellers,  as  in  increasing 
the  expedition  with  which  they  will  be  con- 
veyed.    Some  of  the  carriages  which  have 
been  msde  at  the  manufactory  of  the  Liver- 
pool and  Manchester  Railway  Compsny,  for 
the  public  conveyance  of  passengers  on  the 
Railway,  give  quite  a  new  idea  of  the  ease 
and  luxury  with  which  persons  may  in  future 
travel.     M<»ft  of  the  carriages  to  be  used  as 
public  coaches  consist,  like  the  French  dili- 
gences, of  two  or  three  bodies  joined  toge- 
ther.    Some  arc  intended  to  accommodate 
four  persons  in  each  body,  and  others  six. 
Between  the  fittings  is  a  rest  for  the  arms, 
and  each  passenger  has  a  cushion  to  him- 
self ;  the  backs  are  padded  and  covered  with 
fine  cloth,  like  a  private  carriage. 

There  are  at  present  exhibiting  in  Edin- 
burgh three  large  models,  accompanied  with 
drawings    of  railwayt   and  their  carriages, 
invented  by  Mr.  Dick,  who  has  a  patent. 
These  railways  are  of  a  different  nature  from 
those  hitherto  in  use,  inasmuch  as  they  are 
not  laid  along  the  surface  of  the  ground,  but 
elevated  to  such  a  height  as  when  necessary 
to  pass  over  the  tops  of  houses  and  trees. 
The  principal  supports  are   of  stone,  and, 
being  placed  at  aonsiderable  distances,  have 
cast-iron  pillars  between  them.     The  car- 
riages are  to  be  dragged  along  with  a  velo- 
city hitherto  unparallcKd,  by  means   of  a 
rope   drawn  by  a  steam-engine,   or   other 
prime  mover — ^a  series  being  placed  at  inter- 
vals along  the  railway.     From  the  construc- 
tion of  the  railway  and  carriages  the  friction 
is  very  small. 

BHstol  College.— June  16.  A  special 
meeting  of  the  subscribers  to  this  projected 
Institution  was  held,  when  it  appeared  from 
the  Report  that  248  sWtc)  \\aA  V>eett  \aV«iv, 


leaving  only  73  to  be  disposed  of.  It  fir- 
tlier  appeared,  that  the  Council  bad  hen

suiuble  place  for  the  building,  bat  wiAeo; 
success,  and  in  tlie  mean  tine  they  hadtika 
a  lease  for  three  yean  of  the  mantioo  of  the 
late  Mr.  Wright,  in  Park-nm,  aa  a  Umf

of  Chrisuanity  and  Bible  Critkrian.  Ikt 
resolution  was  unnnimoualy  egraed  to. 


LONDON  AND  ITS  VICINITY. 

June  9.    A  public  meeting,  convened  b* 
the  committee  of  the  General  Cemcteiy  S»

was  it  fitting,  that  while  Liverpool,  the  te> 
ccnd  town  in  the  kiogdom,  posaened  a  ce- 
roetery,  the  metropolia  ahoald  be  witboat

establishing   the   company,   pledc;\n{;  it  te 
use  every  economy  in  the  coat  of  interment, 
and  also  that  the  shares  should  not  be  traas- 
ferahle   until   three-fifths  of  their  amount 
should  be  paid  up,  were  proposed  and  sup- 
ported by    Mr.   SpottiswocKle,   Sir  Robert 
Price,  Sir  J.  D.  Paul,  Mr.  Beaumont,  Mr- 
Canien  (the  projector  of  the  plan;, and  Mr. 
Foss  ;  and  unanimously  adapted.

ber,  and  sixty  in  tonnage  ;   in  1814  we  hal 
only    11,  and  in  ISas  theie    were  338.    A 
spirited  contest  has  commenced  between  the 
Steam  Navigation  G>mpauy  aud  tlie  inhabi- 
taiits  of  Margate.     The   latter,  conceivifi$ 
that  the  fares  of  the  conipaoj  were  cala- 
latcJ  to  prevent  many  [lersona  from  visitiof: 
the  town,  determined,  at   a    meeting  hcU 
some  time  smce,  to  start   a   packet  thes- 
selves.      A  very  elegant  and  coraoBodioas 
vessel,  named  the  Royal  George,  has  acc<«r* 
dingly  been  completed,  and   regularly  saili 
from  London  to  Margate,   at  reduced  (ares. 
The  competition  between  Calaia  and  London

scendants of  the  second  son  of  Sir  W.  B. 
Cooke,  of  Wheatley,   near  Doncasteri 
and,  in  case  of  a  second  default,  the 
property  goes  to  a  grandson  of   Mr. 
Knight,  of  Lea  Castle.    Sir  John  has, 
therefore,  barred  any  of   the    present 
generation  from  the  enjoyment  of  his 
property.    This  will,  in  some  respects, 
resembles  Mr.  Tbelluson's.    We  do  not 
understand  that  Sir  W.  B.  Cooke  and 
Mr.  Knight    were  related   to   the   de- 
ceased.   Sir  John  had  sold  all  his  Buck- 
inghamshire property,  that  about  Atles-

His  remains  were  interred  at  Hampton 
Lovett  in  Worcestershire. 


Sir  William  Parker,  Bart. 

jfpril  SO.  In  bis  60th  year,  Sir  Wil- 
liam Parker,  seventh  Baronet  of  Mel- 
ford  Hall  in  Suffolk,  Colonel  of  the 
Western  Battalion  of  the  Suffolk  Militia, 
and  a  Deputy-Lieutenant  and  Magistrate 
for  the  County. 

Sir  William  was  the  eldest  son  of  Sir 
Harry  Parker,  the  sixth  Baronet,  by 
Bridget,  daughter  of  William  Cress- 
well,  of  Cresswell,  in  Northumberland, 
Esq.  On  the  decease  of  bis  father,  Ja- 
nuary 15,  1812,  he  succeeded  to  the 
title  s  and,  dying  unmarried,  is  suc- 
ceeded by  his  brother,  now  Sir  Hyde 
Parker,  who  was  born  in  1785,  and  is 
also  unmarried.  The  loss  of  Sir  Wil- 
liam will  be  sincerely  regretted  by  a  nu- 
merous circle  uf  friends,  by  whom  he 
was  valued  for  bis  independent  prin- 
ciples. To  his  personal  exertions  the 
western  part  of  the  county  may,  in  some 
degree,  attribute  the  establishment  of 
the  hospital  at  Bury  St.  Edmund's,  the 
utility  of  which  is  indisputable. 

Sir  Robert  Peel,  Bart. 

May  3.  At  bis  seat,  Drayton  Park, 
Staffordshire,  aged  80,  Sir  Robert  Peel, 
Bart. 

The  family  of  Peel  is  not  traced  higher 
than  Robert  Peel,  who  died  in  1736. 
His  grandson,  Robert,  had  a  numerous 
family  of  sons,  most  of  whom  have  been 
the  fathers  of  several  branches,  and  of 
whom  the  subject  of  this  memoir  was 
the  third.  Sir  Robert  was  born  at  Peel's 
Crou,  near  Lancaster,  a  small  estate 
belonging  to  his  father,  April  25,  1750. 
It  is  said  that  very  early  in  life  be  enter- 
tained  a  strong  presentiment   that  he 


would  become  the  foamier  of  m  family, 
and  at  the  age  of  fourteen  he  frequently 
avowed  his  determination  to  raiae  liim- 
self  to  rank  and  eonaequence  In  aoelcly, 
declaring  bis  hope  to  be  "aasB  fabcr 
fortune,"  on  a  conviction  that  any  si- 
tuation in  a  free  countiy  ia  acoaaaiUa  to 
a  good  capacity,  aided  by  pnsdcnee  aad 
industry.  He  gave  early  proofa  of  i|aick« 
ness  and  perception,  and  off  attention  to 
active  habits,  for  which  be  svaa  ao  dis- 
tinguished in  after-life. 

His  father  brought  up  moat  of  bk 
sons  to  the  different  branchea  of  the 
cotton  trade,  and  Robert,  emolating  the 
fame  of  the  well-known  Sir  Bichaid 
Arkwright,  eagerly  devoted  himself  to 
explore  the  powers  of  mechanical  com- 
binations, particulariy  where  they  could 
be  converted  to  the  uae  of  hia  own  ma- 
nufacture. At  the  age  of  tsventj-tbree 
be  embarked  in  partnership  with  Mr. 
William  Yates,  in  an  extensive  factory 
at  Bury,  in  Lancashire  s  and,  after  ten 
years  of  silent  industry,  and  uninter- 
rupted success,  married,  July  8,  1783. 
Mr.  Yates's  daughter,  Ellen,  then  little 
more  than  seventeen  years  of  age.  Abont 
the  same  period  Sir  Robert  Peel  pur- 
chased a  considerable  eatate  in  Lanca- 
shire; and  this  was  followed,  in  the 
course  of  a  few  years,  by  extenaive  ac- 
quisitions in  Staffordahire  and  Warwick- 
shire. 

In  1780  he  published  a  pamphlet,  en- 
titled, «  The  National  Debt  prednctive 
of  National  Prosperity." 

In  1790  be  was  first  returned  to  Par- 
liament as  member  for  Tamworthi  fer 
which  borough  be  was  re-elected  in  1796, 
1802,  1806,  1807,  1813,  and  IB18;  and 
resigned  in  1820  in  favour  of  his  second 
son.  The  borough  of  Tamwortb,  which 
had  begun  to  decline,  soon  reared  up  its 
bead  on  the  introduction  of  the  cotton 
manufacture ;  and  the  intereat  of  Mr. 
Peel,  who  bad  thus  furnished  employ- 
ment to  its  inhabitants,  acquired  an  in- 
fluence paramount  to  that  of  the  family 
of  Townsbend. 

It  was  no  small  proof  of  the  opulence 
and  spirit  of  Messrs.  Peel  and  Yates» 
that,  in  the  year  1797,  they  contributed 
j^l 0,000  to  the  voluntary  subscriptiona 
for  the  support  of  the  war.  In  1798, 
besides  the  patronage  which  he  extended 
to  the  Lancashire  fencibles,  and  the 
Tamwortb  armed  association,  he  placed 
himself  at  the  bead  of  six  companieB, 
mostly  bis  own  artificers,  which  were 
styled  the  Bury  Loyal  Volunteers. 

In  1799  be  made  a  speech  in  the  House 
of  Commons  in  favour  of  the  Union  with 
Ireland,  which  was  considered  to  express 
the  sentiments  of  the  manufacturing  in- 
terest, and  wbicb  had  considerable  influ-

[Jane, 


proceeded  with  the  army  under  Sir 
Ralph  AbercrombjT,  from  Cananore  to 
SeriDgapatam,  and  partook  in  various 
Mnricot  during*  the  second  eampaifn 
■l^'inst  Tippoo  Sultaun.  On  the  con- 
clusion of  hofltillties  in  1799,  the  army 
retraced  its  steps  to  Cananore^  was 
there  broken  up,  and  the  7th  battalion 
iirooeeded  to  Calicut,  which  had  become 
the  head  quarters  of  the  newly  ceded 
province  of  Malabar. 

In  that  quarter  the  subject  of  this  no- 
tice was  employed  with  his  corps  until 
1795;  particularly  in  the  pursuit  and 
dispersion  of  the  force  under  that  active 
and  enterpriiinif  rebel,  Oona  Moota.  In 
Sept.  1795|  he  was  recalled  to  Bombay; 
and  about  the  same  time  succeeded  to 
the  Adjntantcy,  in  the  duties  of  which 
post  he  was  en|^ed  until  the  end  of 
1798. 

In  1799  he  was  employed  in  the  Mah* 
ratta  country  and  Malabar,  until  after 
the  capture  of  Serin^patam ;  when  he 
assisted  in  obtaininf^  possession  of  the 
forts  and  strongholcte  belonpng  to  the 
late  .Tippoo  Sultaun  in  Canara,  a  very 
trying  service  performed  during  the 
monsoon. 

In  Dec.  following,  this  officer  pro- 
ceeded with  his  corps  to  Goa,  to  join  the 
British  troops  at  that  station.  In  March 
1800  he  wa«  promoted,  and  removed, 
by  a  new  regimental  distribution,  to  be 
Captain,  Lieutenant  and  Adjutant  of 
the  first  batt.  6tb  reg.  In  March  1801 
he  was  promoted  to  a  company,  and  at 
the  beginning  of  the  following  year  se- 
lected to  proceed,  in  command  of  400 
■sen,  on  service  to  Kurree,  with  a  field- 
force  placed  under  the  command  of  Col. 
Walker,  to  act  against  the  enterpriiing 
ebieftatn,  Mulbar  Rao.  At  Cambay 
this  force  was  joined  by  1000  troops  be- 
longing to  the  Guicawar  at  Baroola ;  and, 
arriving  at  its  destination  in  March, 
found  Mulbar  Rao  strongly  entrenched 
and  fortified  at  Kurree,  with  30,000 
troops.  On  the  17th  of  that  month  the 
British  engaged  the  enemy  under  the 
guns  of  his  entrenched  batteries;  on 
which  occasion  Capt.  Smith  lost  the 
services  of  158  men  out  of  600,  having 
been  previously  joined  by  two  compa- 
nies of  fencibles,  under  Capt.  Wilkinson. 
The  British  force,  owing  to  its  great 
exertions  on  that  day  in  favour  of  the 
Guicawar  dynasty,  biecame  so  crippled, 
as  to  be  under  the  necessity  of  retiring 
to  a  position  immediately  in  the  rear  of 
the  field  of  battle,  where  It  entrenched 
hself,  and  awaited  a  reinforcement  of 
4000  men,  under  Sir  William  Clarke: 
the  arrival  of  that  formidable  corps  put 
an  end  to  the  field  operations  in  this 
quuiet. 


About  this  period  Capt.  Snith  vii 
compelled  by  severe  inneaa  to  qwittk 
army,  and  return  to  Sorat,  fipoin  whence 
he  proceeded  to  Bomhaj  aiHer  the  raim, 
for  the  purpose  of  taking  a  farloogh  fw 
three  years  to  England  ;  bat,  befora  the 
expiration  of  his  time,  the  preating  de- 
mand for  officers,  in  1805,  toaectthe 
eafgendes  of  the  aenrice  under  Lscd 
Lake,  Induced  Capt.  Smith  to  bastea  \k 
return  to  India,  and  accordingly  be  em- 
barked on  board  the  Sir;Wllliam  Patteecj  I 
In  July  of  the  same  year|  bf  which 
means  he  was  fbrtanate  enoagfa  to  jeis 
the  Cape  expedition,  under  Sir  Dawid 
Baird  and  Sir  Home  POpham  i  and  wai 
present  at  the  attack  and  capture  of 
that  place — a  coraa,  in  which  he  had  t 
company,  having  been  previously  formed 
at  St.  Salvador,  on  the  cc»aat  of  Bengal, 
by  order  of  Gen.  Baird,  composed  of 
cadets  and  soldiers  intended  for  the 
three  presidencies  of  India. 

After  the  capture  of  the  Cape,  Capt 
Smith  proceeded  on  to  Bombay,  where 
he  arrived  in  May,  1806.  Whilst  st 
Bombapr,  he  was  selected  to  officiate  as 
exercismg officer  of  the  1st  batt.  6th  reg, 
its  commanding  officer  being  incapaci- 
tated from  the  lose  of  a  leg.  At  tbe 
close  of  1807,  Capt  .'Smith  Joined  with 
his  corps  tbe  Goa  force ;  and!,  during  liii 
stay  at  Goa,  he  succeeded,  in  1808,  to 
the  junior  Migorlty  of  the  regiment,  and 
was  appointed  to  doromand  the  corps  to 
which  he  belonged.  At  the  latter  end  of 
1809  he  was  ordered  to  join  the  Poonsb 
force,  with  which  be  remained  on  ser- 
vice till  tbe  end  of  1810;  bis  battalioo 
was  then  ordered  down  to  Bombay,  aad 
stationed  there  for  two  years,  when  Ma- 
jor Smith  was  again  ordered  to  tlie  Dec- 
can,  and  there  continued  till  theauddle 
of  1814,  having  been  promoted  in  tbe 
interim  to  a  Lieut.-Colonelcy. 

Lieut.-Col.  Smith  joined  tbe  8nd  batt. 
of  his  regiment  at  Baroda  in  April  of  tbe 
latter  year,  and  with  it  marched,  with 
the  field  force  under  Maj.-Gen.  Sir 
George  Holmes,  to  watch  tbe  motioos 
of  Scindia's  army  on  the  banks  of  tbe 
Mybee ;  he  continued  with  this  force  till 
the  middle  of  1815,  when  eztreiBBe  ill 
health  compelled  him  to  go  to  Bombij. 
At  the  end  of  that  year  he  joined  bii 
battalion  in  Guzerati  and  in  April  1816, 
left  Baroda  to  join  the  field  force  at  Poo- 
nab,  by  the  route  of  Bensdcr  Ghaut, 
being  the  first  corps  that  ever 


through  that  pass.  From  that  period 
till  the  end  of  I817>  Lieut^-CoL  Smith 
continued  in  the  Deccan,  partidpating 
in  all  the  duties  of  that  service,  besides 
the  occasional  responsibility  of  arduous 
separate  commands.  Having  soUcred,

special  reference  to  those  ftcrlini^  moral 
qualitiety  which  were   not  lei«  conspi- 
cuout  and  influential  than  bit  intellec- 
tual endowmenti.  Uncompronitting^inte- 
l^rity  and  genuine  ditioterettedneu  were 
strikingly  observable  in  his  whole  cha- 
racter.   The  welfare  of  his  patients  and 
friends,  rather  than  his  own  individual 
interest,  appeared  to  be  the  predomi- 
natinfi;  principle  of  action.     He  had  a 
Just  conception  of  what  belonged  to  the 
character  of  a  physician,  and  always 
maintained,  by  eaample  as  well  as  by 
precept,   the  di{;nity  and  value  of  his 
honourable  profession.  . 

With  such  principles  and  such  con- 
duct* it  is  not  surprising  that  Dr.  Lister 
should  have  inspired,  in  the  minds  of 
those  who  had  the  privilege  of  his 
f  riendshipy  a  hi  j;h  decree  of  respect  and 
attachment}  although,  from  a  rooted 
aversion  to  every  thing  like  pretension 
and  display,  his  manner  may  have  ap- 
peared to  strangers  coul  and  unattrac- 
tive. Those»  however,  who  knew  him 
intimately  bad  abundant  proofs  of  the 
tenderness  and  depth  of  his  feelings. 

With  a  mind  so  well  stored  and  dis- 
ciplined, and  with  opportunities  and 
habits  of  observation  so  favourable  to 
research,  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  Dr. 
Lister  should  have  written  comparatively 
little.  The  specimens  of  biography  given 
in  the  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  No- 
vember 1817»  and  October  18S3|  con- 
taining short  memorials  of  two  of  his 
roost  beloved  and  intimate  associates, 
vis.  Dr.  Wells  and  Dr.  Baillie,  suffici- 
ently  prove  how  admirably  he  was  qua- 
lified for  literary  undertakings. 

But  to  the  most  able  and  diligent,  as 
well  as  to  others,  **  there  is  a  time  to 
die."    Dr.  Lister  contemplated  that  im- 
portant change  with  remarkable  com- 
posure.   During  the  last  thirty  years  of 
his  life,  indeed,  he  had  suffered  repeated 
attacks  of  angina  pectoris,  and  had  a 
constant  persuasion  of  being  himself  the 
subject  of  organic  disease   about  the 
heart.    Of  this  settled  and  deliberate 
conviction  he  could  not  divest  his  mind, 
notwithstanding  the  remonstrances  of 
his  brethren,  especially  of  his  intimate 
friend  Dr.  Wells,  who  laboured  to  per- 
suade him  he  was  merely  hypochondri- 
acal :  yet  the  post  mortem  appearances 
decisively  prove  that  Dr.  Lister's  usual 
Judgment  did  not  forsake  him  even  in 
the  consideration  of  his  own  individual 
ca^e. 

Among  the  papers  examined  after  his 
death,  a  memoiandum  was  found  dated 
December  SOth,  1821,  in  which  he  de- 
tails the  principal  symptoms  of  his  com- 
plaint, and  his  opinion  of  their  nature, 
(TOiJcJuding  with  the  (ollowin^diccctiou: 


**  To  ascertain  the  truth  of  tbe  mbove 
coi^ecture,  and  to  recomiawnd  the  prac- 
tise of  post  mortem  examlnsuiona  by  aa 
example  in  my  own  person,  I  desire  that 
my  excellent  friend  Mr.  J.  H.  Greea, 
may  be  requested  to  make  a  oomplcte 
examination  of  me  as  soon  after  nsy  death 
as  be  thinks  desirable*  and  to  furnish 
my  son  Nathaniel*  with  a  statement  of 
all  he  observes."  In  accordance  with 
this  request  an  accurate  Inspectkm  was 
made  by  Mr.  Professor  Green^  which  re- 
markably confirmed  the  opinion  sshieh 
the  deceased  had  entertained  of  the  na- 
ture of  his  disease. 

NutwithManding  occasional  paroayans 
of  agonising  pain.  Dr.  Lister  steadily 
pursued  his  usual  avocations,  and  acta- 
ally  visited  hi*  patients  until  the  day 
preceding  his  death.  He  had  suflfiered, 
however,  exceedingly  during  the  severe 
weather  of  January  last,  both  from  dif- 
ficulty of.  breathing  and  general  unea- 
siness about  his  chest.  Towards  the  even- 
ing of  Tuesday,  February  Sd^  aymptoms 
of  effusion  more  distinetU  appeared; 
and  on  the  morning  of  Wednesday,  sar- 
roundcd  by  his  numerous  and  affrciioaate 
family,  and  in  the  full  posseasion  of  his 
mind,  this  venerable  man  gradually 
ceased  to  breathe.  T.  H.  II* 


ROBIRT  HAMILTOII9  M.D. 

May  99.    Ac  loswich,  in  his  82ad  year. 
Robert  Hamilton,  M.D. 

The  Doctor  was  descended  from  a  Scot- 
tish family  of  great  respectabtlitj ;  hat  wh 
born  at  ColeraiDe,  in  Ireland,  in  1748.    He 
was  educated  for  the  medical  profcatioa  aft  the 
Uaiversity  of  Kdinhufgh,  where  he  obcaiatd 
the  degree  of  M.D.    In  1780,  he  entered 
the  army    as    a    regimental    aargeoat    is 
which  capacity  he  continued  until   17S4» 
when  he  settled  at  Ipswich  as  a  physicisa. 
He  there  soon  acquired    the  puoUc  cee- 
fidence,  as  well   as    a  considerable  share 
of   respectable    practice.       UnfintuoBtclj* 
however,  whilst   reaping   the  firuit   of  his 
professional  Ubours,  he  was  seized  widis 
coroplaiat   in  the  optic  nerve,    occaskmed 
by  a  rheumatic  affection,  which  terminated 
on  tlie  dlst  of  March,  1 795,  in  total  blind- 
ness ;    from    which  dreadful    affliction    hs 
never  recovered.     He  was  for  many  years  a 
member  of  the  Royal  College  of  Physiciaai, 
and  of  the  Medical  Society  in  London;  ss 
well  as  of  the  Royal  Medical  and  Physical 
Societies  in  Edinburgh. 

Dr.  Hamilton's  acquirements  were  con- 
siderable, and  eminently  qualified  him  for 

*  Then  a  student  in  medicine,  now 
M.D.,  and  exercisinsc  his  profession  ia 
London ;  having  lately,  too,  been  ona- 
nimously  elected  to  succeed  bis  father  as 
Physician  to  the  Orphan  Workini;  School.

his  taste  and  his  judgment.  His  cabinet  pi 
minerals  and  of  coina  et iaeed  his  fondness 
for  those  branches  of  science.  Well  read 
In  English  literature,  few  could  boast  a  mors 
intimate  knowledge  of  the  standard  works  of 
onr  Isagusge,  while  scarcely  a  modem  pub- 
lication of  merit  escaped  his  notice.  This 
rendered  hia  conversation  diaering,  instruc* 
tiTC,  and  delightful,  whether  it  turned  upon 
the  hackneyed  topics  of  the  day,  m  tha 
lights  afforded  by  niitory  or  philosophy  for 
ameliorating  tlie  condition  of  mankind.  The 
productions  of  his  pen  were  numerous,  but 
they  are  scattered  among  tlie  various  friends 
IcMT  whom  they  were  written,  or  to  whom 
they  were  addressed.  Some  papers  appeared 
in  a  volume  of  Transactioits  of  the  So- 
ciety of  which  he  was  president :  in  con- 
junction with  two  other  highly  talented  in- 
divkiuals,  he  edited  that  volume.  Of  the 
three  throngh  whom  it  was  given  to  tha 
world,  one  alona  (Mr.  AlcockJ  survives,  at 
once  an  ornament  to  his  proression,  and  a 
gcnaial  benefiMtor  to  mankind,  by  his  zaa- 
Tous  and  unwearied  endeavoors  fo  improve 
the  education,  increase  the  knowledge,  and 
enlarge  the  views  of  those  upon  whose  skill 
and  integrity  the  health  and  safety  of  the 
community  so  materially  depend.  With  a 
fondness  and  taste  for  the  poetry  of  others, 
Mr.  Hayes  had  himself  paid  no  unsuccessful 
oonrt  to  tha  Muse,  specimens  of  which  may 
appMT  on  a  future  occasion. 

As  a  man,  his  virtues  were  daily  experi- 
enced, without  the  slightest  approach  to 
ostentation.     He  was  frugal  in  his  habits, 
particularly  as  regarded  the  gratifications  of 
the  table,  believing  that  a  power  of  enjoying 
the  simplest  fiire  was  a  great  source  of  inde* 
pendence,  should  fortune  ever  render  retire- 
ment upon  limited  means  desirable  or  com- 
pulsory.    He  used  often  to  indulge  in  cal- 
culating ior  how  small  an  annual  sum  a 
person  accustomed  to  mental  exertions  and 
frugal  habits  might  enjoy  the  luxury  of  a 
tranquil  mind,  aided  by  books,  and  the  so* 
ciety  of  a  few  friends.     Another  fiivoorite 
object  of  his  consideration  was,  how  a  me- 
dical man,  at  that  advanced  period  of  life 
incompatible  with  much  exertion,   might 
still  render  himself  useful  to  the  community, 
and  at  the  same  time  provide  for  his  own 
subsutence.     In  politics,  he  was  an  ardent 
admirer  of  the  talents  and  principles  of  Mv. 
Fox,  and,  aa  a  member  of  the  whig  Club, 
regularly  attendisd  its  meetings,  during  the 
life  of  that  distinguished  statesman.     In  the 
duties  of  private  life,  as  the  husband,  tha 
fitther,  the   friend,  and  the   bene&ctor  of 
iJbt  aflioiMi,  both  by  hb  ikiU  and  h»  vum>

corpulent,  but  poesessinfp  great  activity.  He 
died  afker  an  illaesa  whlcn  bad  conSncd  him 
only  between  two  and  tlire»  days.  Tha  im-

aged  45,  George  Robert  Cross,  £«q.  mA. 
Ikrrister  at  Law,  and  Counsel  to  the  Uat-i 
varsity  of  Oxford. 

He  was  educated  at  the  grammar^chool  it 
Bath,  and  uader  private  tuiti«ni ;  from  thence 
he  removed  to  Brazenoxe  College,  Oxford^ 
where  by  good  scholarship  in  general,  ei 
well  as  by  a  peculiarly  happy  talenl  in  the 
construction  of  the  more  difficult   Ontk 
authors,    Ike  o}>tsined    the   appellation  of 
Aristophanes  Cross,  wliibt  by  life  jrootle' 
manly  demeanour  he  secured  the  atteehroenl 
of  many  distinguished  mambeia  of  that  9iH 
ciety,  wluwe  friendship  and  regards  he  re- 
tained throngh  life.    He  attained  the  decree 
of  M.A.  in  1810.    Entering  at  liocda's 
Inn  he  became  a  pupil  of  Lord  Temeidcei 
and  after  practising  some  time  as  a  special 
pleader,  he  attended  the  Oxfurd  Orcuit.  Hii 
success,  as  a  junior  barrister,  waa  inipre- 
cedented.     He  was  elected  eouaael  to  tb^ 
Uuiversity,   and  obtained  such   other  ap- 
pointments which  form  the  nsoal  steps  to 
subsequent  advancement ;  wlten  he  waa  at- 
tacked by  a  painful  malady,  aggravated,  if 
not  occasioned,  by  too  close  an  attention  to 
his  profession,  and   which    i^radually  and 
latterly  altogether  withdrew  hini  from  his 
public  dnties.    He  had  for  some  time  partH 
resided  at  Cliftoo,  near  Brietol. 

To  an  accurate  knowledge  of  the  law  Mr. 
Cross  united  a  teste  for  general  inlbrmaiioa 
Theology  was  also  his  favonrito  atody.     Re- 

Srding  it  in  iu  evidences  aa  •  atandard  of 
th,  he  considered  the  Chriscian  Religion 
as  a  system  beyond  the  reach  of  the  human 
intellect  to  have  devised ;  and  having  con- 
formed himself  to  its  preoepte,  aa  a  ml4 
of  life  and  manners,  he  fortified  and  con- 
soled liis  mind  during  hours  of  protrmcfeed 
suffering  with  the  divine  maxima  of  that 
Heavenly  Wisdom  in  which  the  best  lawyeia 
are  gcnorally  proficients,  and  of  which  he 
now  experiences  the  truth  and  bleaaedneaa.

M.A.  1781,  B.D.  1791,  D.D.  1797; 
and  Mprtd  the  UoiTeraitv  office  of  Proctor, 
to|;tther  with  Dr.  Routn,  the  present  Pre- 
udent  of  Magdalen  College,  in  1785. 

At  the  doee  of  1788  he  was  appointed 
one  of  the  Whitehall  preachers.  In  1 789, 
heUig  then  Chaplain  to  Dr.  Smallvell, 
Bishop  of  Oxford,  he  was  collated  by  that 
prelate  to  the  vicarage  of  Orton  on  the  Hill, 
in  Leicestershire ;  but  exchanged  in  the 
same  year  for  that  of  Crupredj,  in  Oxford- 
shire, which  is  in  the  same  patronage.  In 
1795  he  was  presented  by  his  college  to  the 
rectory  of  Weotnor,  in  Shropshire ;  and  in 
the  same  year  was  collated  by  the  then  Dr. 
North,  Bishop  of  Winchester,  to  the  rec- 
tory of  Chilboitoo,  in  Hampshire,  which  he 
retained  until  his  death.  In  1796  Biihop 
Sokallwell  appointed  him  Cliancellor  of  the 
diocese  of  Oxford,  and  in  the  following  year 
Archdeacon.  In  1801,  he  was  collated  by 
Bishop  l!*isher  to  the  prebend  of  Grimston 
and  Yetminster  in  the  church  of  Salisburr  i 
and  Id  1802,  by  Archbishop  Moore,  to  the 
rectory  of  Newington,  in  Oxfordshire. 

In  1801,  Dr.  Pett  was  elected  Master  of 
St.  Mary  Hall,  which  office  he  resigned  in 
1815,  when  he  was  appointed  a  Canon  of 
Christ  Church. 

Dr.  Pett  was  tutor  to  the  late  statesman, 
Mr.  Canning.     On  the   death  of  Bishop 
Ooodeuough,  in   1897,  his  Majesty  wrote 
an  autograph  letter  to  Lord  Goderich,  in 
which  he  stated,  that  as  he  knew  it  was  the 
intention  of  the  late  Premier  to  appoint  his 
tutor.  Dr.  Pett,  to  the  first  vacant  Bishop- 
rick,  if  Lord  Ooderich  saw  no  objection  to 
it,  the  death  of  the  Bishop  of  Carlisle  would 
supply  the  opportunity.    The  offer  was  in 
consequence   made  ;  but  Dr.  Pett,  without 
hesitation,  declined  it,  being  perfectly  con- 
tent with  that  station  in  the   church  lie 
already  so  honourably  filled.     From  the  de- 
cided manner  in  which  he  liad  expressed 
himself,   the   Doctor    expected   the  affisir 
would  have  at  once  been  set  to  rest ;  three 
weeks    afterwards,    however,   his    Msjesty 
ordered  the  offer  to  be  repeated,  observing, 
*'  That  no  steps   had  been  Uken  till  the 
Doctor  had  had  time  to  reconsider  his  re- 
fusal, and  that  the  bishoprick  was  still  at  bis 
service.*'    Dr.  Pett,  however,  although  en- 
tertaining the  most  grateful  sense  of  His 
Majesty's  liberality  aitd  condescension,  per- 
sbted  in  hit  first  resolve,  and  the  See  psssed 
into  the  possession  of  Dr.  Percy.     We  know 
not  which  part  of  this  transaction  is  the 
most  rare — the  second  offer  or  the  second 
refusal. 

Dr.  Pett  passed  a  long  and  useful  life, 
excepting  one  short  iutervsl,  within  the  pre- 
cincts of  the  University  of  Oxford,  beloved 
for  the  benevolence  of  his  disposition,  ad- 
mired for  his  taste,  wit,  and  scholarship,  and 
nspectedfor  his  integrity.

low  ihe  first  is  a  doorway,  not  arched 
like  an  ancient  specimen,  uut  lintelled, 
being  a  perfect  rarpenUT*s  de&ign.  The 
elevation  is  finished  wiih  a  parapet 
over  a  cornice,  bciow  which  the  but- 
tresses finish  in  splays.  The  clerestory 
istimilar  in  design,  the  windows  being 
soiaUer  than  those  in  the  aisles. 

The  east  end  of  the  chancel  has  a 
lancet  window  of  three  lights,  similar 
to  those  in  the  tower.  The  flanks,  as 
well  as  the  entremitiet  of  the  aisles, 
have  no  windows. 

A  vestry,  with  windows  in  the 
square- headed  Tudor  stvle,  occupies 
the  angle  between  the  ena  of  the  south 
aisle  and  the  chancel. 

The  prevailing  faults  in  the  design 
of  this  Church  are  the  introduction  of 
the  lancet  windows,  and  the  omis- 
sioD  of  tracery  in  all  the  others;  the 
latter  defect  is  the  more  inexcusable, 
at  the  architect  has  filled  one  of  the 
windows  (in  the  tower)  with  tracery 
of  a  correct  design ;  and  this  is  the  only 
one  in  the  Church,  every  other  one 
being  void»  so  that  the  Church  looks 
like  an  ancient  building  despoiled  of 
ila  ornaments,  a  circumstance  unfor- 
tpnately  too  common.  At  some  future 
period  the  windows  may  chance  to  be 
improved  by  the  introduction  of  a  mul- 
lion  and  quatrefoil  in  each ;  the  lancet 
windows  are  irremediable. 

The  Interior 

It  plain  and  neat,  and  has  a  pleasing 
and  appropriate  appearance.  The 
lower  story  of  the  tower  forms  a  porch 
at  the  west  end,  and  part  of  the  nave 
is  appropriated  for  a  vestibule,  commu- 
nieating  with  the  aisles,  a  portion  be- 
in^  occupied  by  staircases  to  the  gal- 
leries. There  is  no  distinction  inter- 
nally between  the  nave  and  chan- 
cel ;  the  aisles  are  separated  from  the 
former  by  five  Pointed  arches,  sustain- 
ed upon  piers  which  are  octangular  in 
plan,  and  consist  of  a  plinth  of  equal 
height  with  the  pewiAg,  to  which  suc- 
ceeds a  base,  above  which  the  pier  is 
moulded;  the  angular  faces  having 
fillets  and  hollows,  and  the  othen  at- 
tached toruses,  two  of  which  are  car- 
ried up  to  the  respective  roofs  of  the 
nave  and  aisles,  ana  with  the  interven- 
tion of  capitals,  sustain  the  trusses. 
The  arches  are  spruns  from  the  piers 
without  imposts,  and  the  archivolts 
are  enriched  with  a  continuation  of 
the  mouldings  of  the  piers.  The 
Church  is  not  ceiled ;  the  roof  is  au 


open  frame  of  timber,  which  is  with- 
out exception  the  best  feature  in  the 
interior.    This  building,  with  Stepney 
Cha|>el,*  are  the  only  examples  in  the 
Metropolis  of  this  style  of  aecoration. 
The  modern  architccta  havinsc  scnie- 
lessly  introduced  a  plastered  ceiling  in 
those  cases  where  groined   work  was 
not  used.    The  spandrila  of  the  trusses 
are  pierced  with  quatrefoils,  and  the 
spaces  between  the  tie-beams  and  ra^ 
ters  are  filled  in  with  uprighl  trefoil- 
headed  divisions,  decreasing  in  heisht 
from  the  king  post ;  besides  the  prin- 
cipals there  are  transverse   beams  in 
form  of  obtuse  arches.      The  whole 
design,  though  simple  in  conatmctioa, 
is  highly  creditable  to  the  architect 
The  aisles  are  similar  to  the  nave,  the 
timbers  rcstina  on  the  wall  plate.  The 
effect  of  the  whole  is  good,  and  if  every 
moulding  is  not  fault  leas,  the  minute 
defects  may  be  atoned  for  by  the  cor- 
rectness of  the  entire  design. 

A  spacious  gallery  crosses  the  west 
end,  which  is  continued  along  the 
aisles,  and  very  properly  is  made  to  ra- 
ti re  behind  the  main  pilbrs.  Tlie 
front  of  this  gallery  is  varnished  oak, 
ornamented  with  perpendicular  com- 
partments with  arched  heads,  and  the 
main  beams  rest  on  su pplem en taiy  co- 
lumns situated  behind  each  pier. 

The  altar-screen  occupies  the  dodo 
of  the  east  window,  with  which  it  as- 
similates in  architecture.  It  consists 
of  three  arches,  covered  with  aneuUr 
pedi mental  canopies,  crocketed  and  di- 
vided by  buttresses  crowned  with  pin- 
nacles, executed  in  composition,  in 
imitation  of  stone.  The  arches  are 
worked  into  hollows,  filled  with  the 
diagonal  flowers.  The  design  is  some- 
what similar  to  the  tombs  at  the  higb 
altar  at  Westminster,  but  it  is  a  vciy 
meagre  imitation,  and  fur  below  the 
original.  The  window  is  filled  with 
a  painting  on  glass  of  the  Trans- 
figuration, after  Raphael;  over  the 
head  of  the  Saviour  is  the  descending 
dove. 

The  pulpit  and  desks  are  uniform, 
and  placed  in  front  of  the  altar,  the 
desisn  of  each  an  irregular  octagon ; 
the  larger  faces  are  ornamented  with 
crosses  patee  in  quatrefoils,  and  the 
smaller  ones  with  niches,  having  an- 
gular caps ;  the  mouldings  appear  in- 
significant, from  their  want  of  relief. 

The  organ  is  situated  in  the  western

The  building  Uil  descrihed  was  ex- 
ceMiTely  Tuuliy;  but  with  all  ils  de- 
fect!, it  will  appear  a  maslcrpicceorarl, 
if  compartd  with  the  Church  which 
foinis  tile  lecond  subject  in  the  en- 
giaving. 

The  architecture  of  this  building  is 
of  that  iiyte  which  was  once  admired 
in  the  woiks  of  Wyatt  and  Dance, 
and  which  was  then  passed  off  as  a  re- 
storation of  the  ancient  Pointed  style  j 
il  is  now  belter  known  by  the  deaigna- 
tinn  of"  Carpenters'  Gothic,"  of  which 
style  we  believe  few  churches  CMilchoin 
perhaps  exec  pled  J  display  so  complete 
a  specimen  as  the  present. 

The  plan  of  ihe  building  it  not  ck- 
ceplionablc.  It  is  divided  inio  a  nave 
and  aisles,  with  a  chancel  at  (he  east 
end,  and  at  the  opnosite  exlremliy 
a  square  tower,  properly  aiiualed  with- 
out the  body  of  the  Church.  The 
chancel  is  flanked  bv  vesiriet,  and  the 
tower  by  lobbies.  Trie  tower  is  square 
in  pkin,  and  is  in  elevation  divided  in- 
to three  principal  stories ;  at  the  angles 
are  square  buiiresses,  which,  after  ihe 
conclusion  of  the  second  sioty.  take 
an  octangular  form,  and  ore  finished 
above  (he  p;ir;ipct  in  dumpy  caps,  re- 
sembling in  shajie  the  paper  covering 
which  more  distinctly  than  any  organ 
of  the  phrenologista  designates  inc  head 
of  a  dtincc.  The  entrance  in  the  lowv 
story  of  the  tower  is  a  Pointed  aich, 


The  lobbies  flanking  (he  tower  havi>

id  doorways  in  the  tides.  Thesouth 
iinodate  896  flank,  shown  in  the  view,  displays  all 
the  faults  of  the  modern  Gothic  aclioolf 
in  the  pilaster- formed  butlmtes,  coo,- 
structed  neither  fotsirengib  nor  otnv 
nieni;  in  the  windows,  moreacutelj

and  which  are  loo  'wide  for  lancet

forming  the  principal  entrance  lo  ih^

more  in  conformity  with  modern  fan- 
cies ihan  ancient  practice;  the  Rniah

omiision  of  all  mouldings  to  (hcatchea 
of  the  windows  and  entrances  isaspe* 
cimen  of  ihe  architect's  peculiar  taslc, 
in  which,  however,  he  is  not  uniforiD  ; 
Ibe  window  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
lower  posieating  such  appendages. 

The  east  front  has  buttresses  at  the 
angles,  which  are  finished  wiih  angu- 
lar caps;  an  improper  mode  of  deco- 
ration for  the  laucei  variety,  which  it 
muat  be  takeo  ihc  architect  hat  aimed 
at  Imitating,  or  rather  rivalling.  The 
Iriple-arched  window  in  the  easterii 
wall,  something  belwcea  a  lancet  and 
a  Venetian  window,  is  perfectly  origi- 
nal, and  no  doubt  peculiar  lo  the  pre- 
sent design.  The  cross  on  the  apex  of 
the  gable  is  in  a  better  taste. 

The  north  flank,  in  ils  general  fea- 
tures, resembles  ihe  souiliera ;  it  has 
no  porch,  the  place  beiiigj  supplied  by 
a  window,  anJ  below  it  is  an  archetl

tfide  of  ihe  north  tnnfepi;  oonsiit- 
ing  of  three  puiuied  arches  formed  by 
the  interlacing  of  circular  ones,  the 
pointed  a|>erturei  that  formed  being 
pierced  and  sbsed.  This  window  goes 
M  far  to  establish  Dr.  Miloer's  theory 
that  1  am  surprised  it  wu  not  noticed 
by  him ;  it  is  evidently  in  its  original 
iCaic,  and  is  less  liable  to  the  objectioa 
laised  to  the  windows  of  St.  Cross^  of 
having  been  subsequently  pierced.  I 
should  consider  that  this  window  is  the 
workmanship  of  Bishop  de  Bloisy  tlie 
style  of  the  omamenu  corresponding 
with  bis  known  u'orks. 

That  tiie  pointed  style  grew  by  de> 
grces  out  of  the  cireular,  or  S>axon 
style,  which  pffcceded  it,  is  a  conclu- 
aioii  to  whicD  every  ancient  building 
aeenw  to  lead.  The  present  church 
afibrds  some  striking  examples  in  fa- 
vour of  this  proposiitoo,  and  amongst 
others  the  follow  me. 

Of  the  corbel  table  are  various  sp^ 
cimeni,  one  of  which^  the  oldest, 
shows  only  circular  arches,  in  another 
circular  arches  are  intermixed  with  an 
angular  formation  approaching  to  a 
pointed  arch,  and  in  a  third  the  cir- 
cular and  pointed  arch  are  met  with 
together. 

This  admixture  would  not  have  hap* 
pencd  if  the  pointed  style  had  been 
imported  in  a  perfect  state  from  a 
foreign  country ;  in  that  case,  instead 
of  tile  mixed  architecture  or  Romsey, 
we  should  have  witnessed  the  perfec- 
tion and  uniformity  of  Salisbury. 

The  hieh  altar  has  been  greatly  im- 
proved of  late.  Bv  the  removal  of  tlie 
screen  with  the  decalogue,  the  noble 
pillars  and  arches  forming  the  old 
apsis  were  laid  open,  and  the  voids  are 
now  glazed  witn  suined  glass.  The 
altar  screen  wu  an  ancient  painting, 
partly  defaced  and  partly  concealed 
with  the  decalogue.* 

Besides  this  painting  the  ancient 
piacina  of  the  hJgti  altar  was  at  the  same 
time  brought  to  light ;  it  resembles  a 
font,  and  is  composed  of  a  dwarf  cy- 
lindrical column  with  an  clegautly 
acttlptured  capital,  highly  enriched 
with  leaves  in  the  style  of  the  end  of 
the  eleventh  century.

Mr.Urbak,  Salop,  Jane 21. 

ALLOW  me  to  notice  in  your  na- 
tional record  the  eieclion  of  a 
be&utiful  taiieni  window  of  stained 
Klass  in  the  new  chuich  at  Sioke-upon- 
Trent.  Staifordshire,     which   fur   ele- 

gance  and  harmony  of  design  U  pro- 
ably  unrivalled  by  any  modern  at- 
tempts of  the  act,  as  an  imitation  of  the 
style  purely  after  the  antique. 

The  principal  compaitmenti  of  the 
window  conuia  hfiecn  well-prupor- 
tioned  figures  (insetted  within  ovals,) 
of  the  Apostles  and  EvangeliiiJt,  each 
bearing  their  appropriate  insignia,  and 
having  beneath,  on  a  label,  their  re- 
nective  namei  inscribed  In  Laliu.  la 
the  centre  of  the  EvangeJuis,  at  the 
base  of  the  window,  is  it  ba\iL%k^\«.  aV

the  taint  to  wbom  the  church  w  dedi- 
caledy  Peter,  beariog  his  iymbol  of 
the  keyt;  and  though  loaded  with 
chains,  his  spirited  auitude  and  coun- 
tenance^ seem  to  bespeak  glory,  in 
bonds,  imprisonment,  and  even  death, 
for  the  glorious  cause  in  which  he  was 
tnwmd. 

The  arch  of  the  window  is  filled 
with  ornamental  designs  in  brilliant 
colouring,  among  which,  near  the 
apex,  are  two  qoatrefoils,  containing 
the  arou  of  the  see  of  Lichfield,  and  • 
those  of  the  Dean. 

The  general  effect  of  this  rich  col- 
lection of  glass  b  truly  great,  increased 
as  it  is  by  the  peculiar  mellowncsa  of 
the  tints,  whilst  the  rich  reflexion  of 
the  storied  fane,  shedding— 

<Tha  dim  blua  of  rMliMOt  riohlj  elMT," 

has  spread  an  air  of  new  solemnity  and 
inspiration  throuahout  the  sacred  edi- 
fice ;  and  since  the  seneral  execution 
it  crediuble  to  the  abilities  of  the  artist, 
Mr.  David  Evans,  of  Shrewsbury,  it  is 
to  be  desired  it  may  remain  a  memorial 
to  subsequent  generations  of  the  liber* 
ality  of  tne  very  Rererend  the  Dean  of 
Lichfield,  who  is  Rector  of  the  parish, 
and  at  whose  munificence  the  window 
is  erected. 

Whilst  upon  the  subject,  I  would 
also  mention  that  the  Dean  has  like- 
wise given  the  sum  of  3000/.  to  be  in- 
vested in  the  names  of  trustees,  as  a 
permanent  endowment  for  the  national 
schools  at  Stoke,  Hanle^r,  I^ne  End, 
Shelton,  and  Lonston,  within  the  same 
parish ;  besides  handsome  donations 
to  the  new  church  and  other  charitable 
purposes,  making  an  aggregate  of 
10,000/. 

The  old  parish  church  having  be- 
come ruinous,  and  too  small  to  accom- 
modate the  increasing  population  of  the 
neighbourhood,  it  was  determined  to 
erect  a  new  one  as  near  the  site  of  the 
old  building  as  a  regard  for  previous 
inhumations  would  permit;  which 
undertaking  was  commenced  in  1826, 
and  is  now  completed  in  the  modem 
Gothic  style,  and  at  an  expense  of  about 
14,000/.  being  130  feet  in  length  and 
6\  in  width,  and  calculated  to  accom- 
modate a  congregation  of  167s  persons, 
and  when  the  organ,  bells,  &c.  are 
readj,  will  receive  immediate  conse- 
cration. 

The  burial-ground  has  also  been 
enlarged  to  the  extent  of  five  acres,  and 
bv  the  addition  of  20,000  cubic  yards 
01  soil  has  been  n\iied  so  m  u»  vl^*^^  ^^

IF  sublime  can  appropriately  be  ss* 
plied  to  works  orart,  well  docs  ne 
Tunnel  under  the  Thames  merit  dut 
appellation.  When  standing  in  tha 
astonishing  arched  excavatton,  nnfos 
bodv  of  running  water  bearing  sUp 
loaded  whh  their  cargoes  on  iissiirfrR^ 
the  grandeur  of  so  vaat  and  difficult ai 
underuking  is  so  striking  that  the  aiai 
is  indiscribably  impreaaed  with  a  scbr 
of  the  uncommon  nature  of  the  olyct 
contemplated.  The  utility  of  so  mt 
a  monument  of  a  daring  eflbrt  ol  sn, 
is  the  secondary  thought  which  9> 
curs  to  the  mind,  at  first  absorbed  is 
surprise.  Where  the  highest  bri% 
would  obstruct  navigations  then  1 
tunnel  becomes  essentially  osefof. 

Havins  been  a  miliury  engineer,  I 
am  probably  habituated  to  eonndm- 
tions  of  the  present  description,  and 
have  examined  the  section  of  the  wofk 
carried  transversely  under  that  of  tbs 
river,  and  of  the  ground  between  Uic 
bottom  of  it  and  the  top  of  the  arcba 
over  the  conjoined  two  tunnels,  judi- 
ciously intended  for  vehicles  moviitt 
in  opposite  directions.  The  work  a 
finished  almost  to  the  middle  of  the 
river.  The  section  shows  that  the 
depth  or  thickness  of  the  earth  em 
the  place  where  the  water  broke  ia  a 
near  twice  u  much  as  appears  in  die 
first  half  of  the  remaining  full  b^ 
which  is  still  to  be  formed.  This  slate 
of  things  furnishes  a  weH-gfouoded 
ap|>rehension  that  in  excavating  belov 
this  third  quarter  of  the  whole  brcadtk 
of  the  river,  the  water  may  again  siap 
progress,  and  again  occasion  baviaf 
recourse  to  the  expensive  and  onccruis 
expedient  of  increasing  the  defickat 
depth  of  soil,  by  throwing  in  earth,  sc- 
companied  by  other  ingenkms  coe- 
trivances.  As  the  talus,  or  slope  d 
the  floor  of  the  part  of  the  tooasl 
finished,  is  a  very  eaiy  indincd  plaoc^ 
I  would  beg  leave  strongly  to  lecota- 
mend  that  at  least  this  line  of  modeiaiB 
descent  be  carried  on  under  the  wbob 
length  of  the  third  quarter  part  of  the 
whole  lonnd.  By  doing  this  a  part, 
where  the  earth  aupears  very  thio  ia 
the  section,  will  be  safely  got  under,

the  turns  of  preaching  for  the  porpMc;

usually  performed  at  Barnwell,    but 
little    more    than  a  mile   from  that

Whether  my  various  publications  on 
the  suge  hare  done  much,  or  any  thing, 
towards  the  purification  of  it,  1  am  not 
altogether  prepared  to.  say.  I  am  not 
without  hope  and  persuasion  that  they 
.  have  done  something.  In  recent  co- 
pies of  some  of  the  old  and  most  objec- 
tlonable  plays,  as  now  |)erformed  at  the 
theatres,  some  of  the  worst  passages 
are  omitted,  which  I  consider  to  be  a 
point  gained ;  but  still  they  are  very 
far  from  what  they  ought  to  be ;  and, 
if  the  Drama  were  purified,  the  theatre 
has,  1  fear,  all  iu  wonted  corruptions. 
In  many  towns  where  plays  are  ocr- 
formed,  I  understand  that  some  of  the 
clergy  preach  regularly  against  them, 
and  that  the  theatre  is  undoubtedly 
upon  the  decline  throughout  the  king- 
dom. If  this  be  the  case,  the  profes- 
sors of  the  theatre  will  at  lengtn  feel 
that  their  duty  and  their  interest  are 
now  onet  and' that,  if  they  intend  to 
txist  and  to  prosper,  they  must  rb*

Mr.  Urbav,  June  20, 

AS  your  Repository  is  the  means  of 
preserving  many  literary  hints 
which  might  without  it  be  entirely 
lost,  1  beg  leave  to  mention  a  circum- 
stance proiiably  not  generally  known, 
but  which  evinces,  in  a  very  striking 
manner,  the  improvement  that  has 
taken  place  in  literary  taste  during  the 
last  age. 

Many  late  book  sales  have  astonished 
even  the  warmest  admirers  of  Letters, 
by  the  price  and  the  eagerness  with 
which  articles  of  even  ordinary  merit 
have  been  purchased:  but  when  the 
Hat  ton  Library  was  sold,  Mr.  Sheaf, 
of  Ipswich,  in  Suffolk,  paid  for  as 
many  books  as  loaded  two  waggons 
and  a  cart  only  30/.,  and  many  ofthe 


MSS.  were  IherBlly  thrown  t0  tbt 
dunghill.  This  anecdote  was  eooiaio* 
nicated  by  a  moat  respecuble  book- 
seller, who  received  hia  informatioB 
from  the  person  who  actoally  assisted 
in  loading  some,  and  in  thoa  obposiag 
of  others  of  that  invaloable  ooltoctioo. 
Nothing  is  much  more  to  be  re> 
gretted  than  such  a  gothic  disicganl  lo 
the  interesU  of  literature,  unlM  it  be 
the  selfish  and  narrow  minded  pria- 
ciple  of  e&chision,  which  rendera  many 
valuable  and  interesting  collectioas, 
either  inaccessible,  or  what  is  lama- 
mount  to  it,  only  to  be  obtained 
through  such  cringins  aenriltty  and 
teasing  importunity  as  few  men  of  ical 
genius  or  talents  can  descend  to  pra&> 
tise.  A  B1BX.10MAVIAC. 


Original  Lbttbrs. 

IN  our  last  volume,  part  i.  p.  5€6, 
was  printed  a  letter  on  miDisteiial 
affairs,  written  by  William  the  second 
Viscount  Barrin^ton,  when  Secretary 
at  War,  to  the  Right  Hon.  Hans  Stan- 
ley. The  four  following,  addressed  to 
the  same  personage,  are  two  years  ear- 
lier in  date.  The  three  former  of  them 
precede,  and  the  last  follows,  the  date 
of  his  appointment  to  the  Secretaryship, 
in  July,  1765. 

Dear  Sir,      Cav.-Sq.  May  21, 176^ 

Having  now,  by  jow'  dire<:tioe,  a 
safe  means  of  conveying  to  you  all  I 
know  of  our  present  situation,  I  will 
conceal  nothing  from  you  which  cm 
be  depended  on  as  truth,  amoag  a 
great  number  of  reports  without  foon* 
da  I  ion. 

Last  Wednesday,  Mr.  Grenville,* 
having  mentioned  to  the  K.  the  Speach 
which  was  to  be  made  at  the  concmsioa 
of  the  Session,  H.  M.  said  it  was  on- 
necessary  to  settle  it  as  yet,  for  that  be 
intended  the  Parliament  ahoald  be  ad* 
journed,  not  prorogued.  Mr.  G.  en- 
deavoured to  get  some  explanation,  bat 
in  vain.  The  K.  said  much  the  same 
thing  to  the  Chancellor  and  President. 
This  was  a  plain  indication  that  some 
change  was  intended,  unadvised  by  the 
Ministers,  and  being;  told  to  me  nest

a  proper  Ministry  settled,  he  would 
give  the  best  advice  he  was  able;  but 
that  his  health  wniild  not  permit  him 
to  take  employment. 

Nobody  prelendt  lotay  what  will  be 
the  upshot.  The  Ministers  are  en-

You  have  seen  an  account  of  them  in

There  is  the  greatest  reason  lo  be- 
lieve  the  old  Ministry  will  continue, 
but  nothing  is  certain  in  these  limcf. 
To-morrow  will,  probably,  decide  every 
thing  finally,  in  which  case  you  aliall 
hear  again  from.  Dear  Stanley,  your 
most  faithful  humble  servant, 

Barrinctov. 

The  old  Ministry  continue:  Lord 
Weymouth  succeeds  Lord  Norihuni- 
berland",  Charles  Townsend  succeeds 
Lord  Hollntid  ^t  but  1  know  not  who 
succeeds  Mackenilc,  who  is  lo  lose 
his  privy  seal  for  Scotland.!  Lord 
Temple,  Mr.  Grenville,  and  Mr.  Pitt, 
are  thoroughly  reconciled,  aud  the 
Parliament  will  be  prorogued  next  Sa- 
tnrdav.  You  may,  therefore,  my  f^ood 
friend,  pursue  your  travels  whenever 
you  please,  and  I  hope  they  will  pro- 
cure you  much  heahh  and  amusement.

fron  the  Arabic  and  Proven9al,  and  in 
the  replication  of  proportionate  mean- 
ing, which  n  one  of  the  requititet  in 
Hebrew  poesy.  We  might  here  notice 
a  certain  relation  between  parallism 
and  rhyme;  for  as  in  the  latter  the  final 
•ound  it  prtially  echoed  at  stated  in- 
tervals, so  in  the  former  we  have  a  re- 
tarn  of  similar  sense  in  each  alternate 
kemisiich. 

In  Greek  and  Latin  versification  we 
make  use  of  certain  revolving  measures 
of  duration ;  in  the  Hebrew  we  are 
delighted,  in  the  room  of  time,  with 
the  returning  affinities  of  sentiment. 
For  we  observe,  that  when  the  under- 
•tanding,  by  applying  the  curious  de- 
vices of  art,  auos  order  to  the  pathetic 
enchantments  of  moving  beauty,  the 
resulting  sentimental  pleasure  is  indefi- 
nitely multiplied,  so  that  the  inferior 
passions  being  hurmonizcd,  the  mind  is 
put  into  a  suitable  fitness  for  the  recep- 
tion of  sober  discipline.  Hencr,  though 
the  Spirit  of  Wisdom  will  not  compro- 
mise the  matter  with  the  obstinate  and 
malignant  part  of  our  nature,  yet  in 
condescending  compassion  to  our  inci- 
dental, or,  if  you  please,  necessary  in- 
firmities, he  has  vouchsafed  to  use  the 
allurements  of  studied  perfectioli,  that 
we  might  be  instructed. 

Reading,  while  at  the  Sandwich 
Islands,  a  critical  notice  of  Mr.  Jebb's 
work  on  the  poetry  of  the  New  Tt^sta- 
ment  in  a  certain  periodical,  and  turn- 
ing over  the  pages  of  this  part  of  the 
sacred  volume  to  see  what  other  sam- 
ples might  be  met  with  besides  those 
already  adduced,  it  occurred  to  me  that 
the  parable  of  Lazarus  was  capable  of 
a  poetical  resolution,  admitting  that 
one  of  the  essentials  of  Hebrew  poetry 
consists  in  certain  proportions  of  sense 
instead  of  definite  measures  of  quan- 
tity ;  and  I  am  inclined  to  think  that 
the  diligent  reader,  after  perusing  the 
following  analysis,  will  coincide  with 
me  in  this  opinion. 

Their  opposite  conditions  in  the  vi- 
ttble  world,  placed  in  coonierview,  and 
forming  what  ma^  be  called  an  Inverse 
Analogy «- the  rich  man  taking  the 
precedence : 

There  was  a  certain 
There  -was  a  certain  beggBr,iiaroed  Laza- 
nch  man,  &c.  which  rua,  which  was  laid  at

•ml  fine  linen,  and  and  desiring  to  be 
farad  sumptuoiuly  fled  with  the  cmmbs 

every  day.  \«K\c\i  {eU  from  the 

rich  man*  «u\Ae. 


Their  retnectm  oonditions  at  death 
inverted  — the  poor  man  taking  the 
precedence : 

And  it  came  to  pasa 

that  the  beggar  died,  Thm  rich  awa  alio 
And  was  earned  by  the         died, 

ange)i  bto  And  waa  bvied. 

Abrs^am's  besom. 

Their  different  conditions  in  the  an- 
seen  world,  contrasted  with  the  n»o- 
ner  in  which  they  Tared  in  the  visibk 
world,  may  be  ranged  in  the  folkmio; 
summary: 

Dives  now  craves  a  drop  of  cool  walsr. 
Who  in  this  world  taatod  life's  thnimifct 
But  Lazarus,  who  once  begged  a  niece  tt 
bread. 

Now  at  a  heavenly  baoqoet  redines  on  Aba- 
ham's  bosoBn. 

As  Lazarus,  when  laid  at  the  gal%  M  i 

sores. 
Once  lifted  up  his  eyes  towards  the  goaif 

dwelling  of  Dives, 
So  Dives,  now  laid  in  a  nether  region,  &1 

of  sorrow. 

Lifts  up  his  eyes  towards  the  Uesssdsboda 
of  Lazarus. 

The  reply  of  Abraham  forms  a  ^ 
trastich  of  alternating  parallism: 

But  AbrabaoB  said.  Son,  renmnbcr  tfast 
In  thy  lifetime  thou  reccircst  thy  goU 

things. 
And  Lazarus  his  evil  things ; 
But  DOW  he  is  comforted. 
And  thou  art  tormented.

Life  und  Hriiingi  of  Christopher  Marlowe. 


[vol.  Cs 


Drury  Lane  in  1818,  possesses  many 
besutiesy  bat  the  interest  depends  too 
exclusively  apon  the  character  of  the 
Jew  ;  the  plot  is  excessively  wild  and 
improbable,  nor  can  the  charms  of  the 
language  compensate  for  the  extrava- 
gance of  the  incidents,  in  contriving 
which  the  author  seems  to  have  thought 
it  the  perfection  of  skill  to  accumulate 
horror  upon  horror.  The  play  was  coolly 
received  on  its  reproduction  in  1818, 
aod  soon  laid  aside. 

The  character  of  Barahhas,  an  origi- 
nal and  vigorous  conception,  no  doubt 
suggested  to^Shakspeare  that  o(  Shy  lock, 
and  both  were  designed  to  fall  in  with 
and  humour  the  popular  prejudices 
against  Jews,  which  in  Elizabeth's  days 
raged  in  an  extravagant  manner.  Al- 
leyn,  who  was  greaiTv  celebrated  for  his 
performance  of  Bttraoliat,wM  doubtless 
the  original  representative.  To  render 
the  appearance  of  the  Israelite  more 
hideous,  he  was  equipped  with  a  huge 
false  nose,  which,  as  appears  from  va- 
rious passages  in  old  plays,  was  the  cus- 
tomary decoration  or  usurers  upon  the 
stage.  To  this,  Ilhamore,  his  servant, 
alludes,when  he  says  (act  2), "  O  brave 
master !  1  worship  thv  nose  for  this ; " 
and  again,  (act  3),  "  I  have  the  bravest, 

gravest,  secret,  subtle,  hotlle '  nosed 
nave  for  my  master,  that  ever  gentle- 
man had.'*  A  play  in  a  similar  taste 
apparently  preceded  that  of  Marlowe, 
smce  Gosson,in  his  "  School  of  Abuse,** 


1579,  remarks,  "The  Jew  shown  at 
the  Bull  represents  the  greediness  of 
worldly  choo8ers,andthe  bloody  mindes 
of  vsvrers.** 

The  Jew  of  Malta  was  performed  at 
the  Rose  Theatre,  Bankside,  159I,  and 
was  entered  on  the  Stationers*  Books, 
for  publication.  May  17,  1594,  but,  as 
DO  edition  has  occurred  of  an  earlier 
date  than  l633,  (when  it  was  per- 
formed at  court,  and  put  forth  with  a 
prologue,  epilogue,  and  dedication, 
written  by  Thomas  Heywood),  it  has 
been  presumed,  somewhat  hastily  I 
think,  that  this  was  the  earliest.  The 
grounds  for  the  supposition  are,  howe- 
ver, by  no  means  conclusive,  for  it  is 
pretty  certain  that  impressions  of  many 
old  dramas  (which  were  not,  perhaps, 
very  extensive,)  have  entirely  perishcti ; 
ami  indeed,  licy wood's  words  in  the 
dedication,  though  somewhat  CQuivo- 
cal,  may  serve  to  strengthen  a  belief 
ihat  the  edition  of  1(933  was  not  the 
first.  He  says,  "  this  play.  Icing  newly 
houi^ht  to  thepras,  1  was  loih  il  sViouU 


be  published  without  the  ornament  of 
an  cpisile ;  '*  by  which  he  may  be  un- 
derstood to  mean,  either  thai  it  was 
then  reprinted,  or  printed  for  the  first 
time,  as  best  falls  in  with  the  theory 
and  prepossessions  of  the  reader  on  thie 
subject. 

5.  The  Massacre  at  Paris,  v.  d. 

This  is  a  piece  of  much  brevity  and 
little  merit,  evidently  put  together  with 
the  mere  view  of  drawing  together  a 
few  audiences,  whilst  the  event  which 
it  celebrated  was  still  of  sufficiently  re- 
cent occurrence  to  render  the  title  a 
taking  one;  but,  being  thickly  inter- 
spened  with  invectives  against  Popery, 
compliments  to  Queen  Elizabeth,  and 
other  clap-traps,  it  was  probably  much 
relished  and  applauded  by  our  anceslora 
of  the  iGth  century.  The  date  of  iCa 
first  performance  has  not  been  ascer- 
tained ;  but  Henslowe,  the  manager, 
mentions  in  his  account-book  the  re- 
ceipts on  the  301I1  of  January,  1592, 
at  tne  "  Tragedye  of  the  Guyes, '  which 
was  probably  this  play.  There  is  but 
one  old  edition,  and  that  is  undated, 
but  was  apparently  printed  circa  1600. 
The  Duke  of  Roxburgh's  copy  was 
purchased  by  Mr.  Hcbcr,  for  four 
guineas. 

6.  Lust's  Dominion,  i557. 

This  tragedy  was  first  printed  in 
lG67,  by  one  rrancis  Kirkman,  (who 
became  a  great  publisher  of  plays  after 
the  Restoration),  bein^  drawn  forth 
probably  by  the  necessities  which  at 
that  period  pressed  hard  upon  all  those 
who  bad  in  any  way  derived  their  sup- 
port from  the  theatres  before  their  sup- 
pression. It  is  said  in  the  title-page  to 
have  been  written  by  "  Christopher 
Marloe,  Gent."  and  was  always  re- 
ceived as  his,  until  the  appearance  of 
the  recent  edition  of  Dodsley's  Old 
Plays,  1825,  in  the  Sd  vol.  01  which 
some  circumstances  are  pointed  oat, 
tending  decisively  to  prove  that  it  must 
have  been  written  subsequent  to  Mar- 
lowe's death.  In  connection  with  this 
point,  it  is  worthy  of  remark,  that  in 
the  library  of  Mr.Field,  sold  by  Sothcby 
in  Jan.  1827f  lot  292  was  "  Lust's  Do- 
minion," 1657,  without  Marlow€*s 
name  as  the  author,  and  having  three 
commendatory  |)oems  addressed  to  the 
publisher,  which  I  have  not  observed 
in  any  other  copy.  The  truth  possibly

This  play  was  perforined  10  early  ai 
I68w,{|>erbaps  earlier),  and  was  entered 
on  the  Siaiioneri'  books,  in  Ibgo,  as 
follows :

The  epithet  "  comical"  related  pro- 
bably to  the  cxlemporal  perforinancei 
of  llie  Clown,  which  were  introduced 
between  the  acu.  In  the  same  taste, 
the  old  play  of  "  King  Cambyses "  is 
tlyled  *'  A  Lanieniable  Trsgedie,  mixed 
fidl  of  pleaiaot  mirth."  "  Tambur- 
Uine"  was  first  printed  in  159O,  "  by 
Richard  Ihones,at  ihesigneoftheRose 
and  Crowne,  ncere  Holhoine  Bridge ;" 
a  second  edition  followed  in  I5g3,  anda 
third  in  I(>OS-G,all  ofihem  in  blach  letter.

of  the  rude  Siidivnces  before  whom  it 
was  originally  pteientcd,  tiiici:  Hen-

The  growth  of  a  more  refined  tatl^ 
however,  rendered  by  degrees  its  bom*

when  Davenanl  wrote  his  "  Plnyhota? 
to  be  Let,"  the  memory  of  ill  nloriA 
was  all  that  remained.  In  that  drami

tides other  charities,  he  endowed  a 
school  for  the  education  of  poor  chil- 
dren ;  and  by  his  will,  he  erected  in 
the  church  thereof  a  chantry  for  the 
offering  of  prayer  for  the  souls  of 
King  Philip  and  Queen  Mary,  of 
Christopher  and  Eliaabeih  Benlowes, 
his  father  and  mother,  and  for  the  souls 
of  the  fdonder  and  his  wife,  with  an 
endowment  out  of  the  great  tithe  of 
Bardfield,  often  marks,  or  6L  I3s,  4d. 
tnnually.  He  departed  this  life  Nor. 
19^  1584,  and  together  with  his  second 
wife  (Eleanor,  daughter  of  Sir  Edward 
Palmer,  Knt.  of  Angmering,  Sussex, 
and  widow  of  John  Berners,  Esq.  of 
Petches,  in  Finchingfield),  was  interred 
in  the  chancel  of  the  church  of  Great 
Bardfield,  where  a  monument  is  erected 
to  his  memory,  inscribed  with  a  copy 
of  Latin  verses  not  unworthy  the  atten- 
tion of  the  curious  traveller.  He  was 
succeeded  in  his  estates  at  Finching- 
field and  elsewhere,  together  with  the 
impropriated  tithe  and  advowson  of 
the  vicarage  of  BardBeld,  by  his  son 
William  &nlowes,  Esq.  who  dying  in 
1613,  was  succeeded  by  his  grandson 
Edward  Benlowes,  son  of  his  eldest  son 
Andrew,  whom  he  had  survived. 

Edward  Benlowes,  Esq.  of  Brent 
Hall,  in  Finchingfield,  who  has  styled 
himself,  upon  some  occasion,  probably 
during  the  civil  wars,  "  Turmse  eques- 
tris  in  com.  Essex  praefectus,"  was 
born  l602 ;  was  admitted  a  fellow- 
commoner  of  St.  John's  College,  Cam- 
bridge, to  which  society  he  was  after- 
wards a  benefactor.  After  devoting 
some  time  to  foreign  travel  he  distin- 
guished himself  by  his  proficiency  in 
elegant  literature,  and  taste  for  sacred 
poetry,  in  which  he  was  intimately 
associated  with  consentient  contempo- 
raries of  literary  eminence,  with  Phi* 
neas  and  Giles  Fletcher,  the  former 
the  author  of  the  Purple  Island  ;  with 
Francis  Quarles,  author  of  the  Em- 
blems, and  other  poems,  which  share 
the  approbation  of  the  present  day; 
Derwent,  Payne,  and  Fisher,  are  also 
named  in  the  circle  of  his  literary 
acquaintance. 

Mr.  Benlowes  appears  to  have  fixed 
his  residence  for  some  time  at  Brent 
Hall,  from  which  place  he  dates  some 
complimentary  verges    to    his  friend 

fJuarJes,  prefixed  to  the  publication  of

and  W.  Benlowes ,  who  participated 
in  the  same  taste  for  sacred  poesv,  msf 
be  presumed  to  have  been  kinmd  of 
Mr.  Edward  Benlowes,  memorisil 
have  failed  to  render  their  degrees  of 
consanguinity  apparent.  Negligenee 
of  his  affairs,  perhaps  imprudence,  oo- 
fortunately  after  a  time  involved  tbii 
gentleman  in  pecunianr  difficulties,  v 
that  about  the  year  ld54^  he  was  in- 
duced to  suffer  a  recovery,  in  oider  to 
enable  him  to  alienate  his  hmWj 
estates ;  to  which  deed  of  recoveiy  hv 
niece  Philippe  Benlowes,  and  Waher 
Blount,  Esq.  of  Maple  Durham,  Ox- 
fordshire, afterwarda  her  husband  (lo

inconsiderately  generous  on  their  mn* 
riage),  were  parties  in  conjuociion 
witn  others  whose  names  are  recorded 
in  the  deeds.  Soon  after  the  sale  of 
Brent  Hall,  and  his  other  estates,  ia 
l657t  Mr.  Benlowes  fixed  his  residence 
at  Oxford,  where^  after  aabjectina 
himself  to  imprisonment  for  debts  and 
engagements  in  which  he  had  involved 
himself  for  others,  he  departed  th'is 
life  in  \6s6,  and  waa  interred  in  the 
north  aisle  of  St.  Mary's  church,  when 
the  funeral  expences  were  paid  by  the 
contribution  of  several  scholars,  mflo*

tunes, or  a  respect  for  the  literuy

family  no  longer  any  other  vestiga 
than  those  of  former  beneficence  are  to

ancient  patrimony.  There  ia  said  to

two  Principalities.  This  man  wbscod- 
lined  by  order  of  Sultan  Mustapba  in 
the  prison  called  The  Oven,  where,  in 
the  midst  of  bis  tuflerings,  all  his  con- 
cern was  for  a  favourite  horse,  which 
became  the  firei  object  of  his  twressei 
ivhen  he  had  recovered  his  liberty. 
Shortly  after,  as  he  was  preparing  to 
return  home,  an  Asiatic  bishop,  who 
was  then  going  to  his  diocese,  sent  a 
deacon  10  bim  to  demand  ihis  horse  ai 
a  present.  He  excused  himself  from 
this  strange  request,  in  ihe  best  manner 
possible,  alleging  his  regard  for  iheani- 
mal,  and  also  his  poverty.  Soon  after, 
the  bishop  came  in  person,  and  offered 
him  the  alternative  of  presenting  him 
with  the  horse,  or  incurring  hii  male- 
diction immediately.  The  Greek,  anr- 
prised  as  he  was,  did  not  hesitate  lo 
comply,  though  he  fell  how  unjust  the 
conduct  of  the  bishop  was,  as  Ite  well 
knevr  his  influence ;  and  In  telling  this 
story,  he  avowed  that  he  had  not  the 
hardihood  to  expose  himself  to  hi* 
thunders. 

Besides  the  national  bishops,  there 
are  others,  in  partibm,  who  reside  in 
the  two  provinces,  and  who  live  in 
splendour  on  the  contributions  of  the 
faithfiil.  Someof  them  farm  thereve- 
nucs  of  richly- end  owed  monatleriet, 
belonging  lo  llie  holy  sepulchre  of  Je- 
rusalem,  or  to  Mount  Alhos,  or  Mount 
Sinai,  and  which  they  hold  under  the 
monks.  The  number  of  monasteriea, 
at  bai  been  already  observed,  is  very 
great  in  the  two  provinces,  and  they

momentarily.  The  current,  interrupted 

Sthe  rocks,  was  very  strong,  and  the 
ore  precipitous,  and,  upon  the  whole, 
oar  situation,  for  eight  or  ten  minutes, 
was  l>y  no  means  enviable.  Soon, 
however,  and  in  safety,  we  accom- 
plished this  Charybdaean  navi^tion, 
■nd  the  difference  of  manner  in  the 
sailors  was  very  remarkable.  Tliey 
were  now  joyous,  whistline,  and  un* 
concerned,  and  their  hilarity  was 
quickly  imparted  to  their  freight. 

At  this  time  the  man  at  the  prow 
left   his  station,   and   threw   himself 
down  carelessly  by  our  sides  in  the 
stern.    After  humming  and  whistling 
solos  for  some  time,  he,  after  much 
solicitation,  favoured  us  with  a  song, 
his  messmates  joining  chorus.     And 
now,   •'  we  rose  on   the  wave  with 
songs.    We  rushed  with  joy  through 
the  roam  of  the  deep." 
^  The  air  was  melancholy  and  plain- 
tive, and  the  voices  of  the  singers  ex- 
tremely well  attuned.    They  ap^jeared, 
indeed,  to  have  a  most  correct  ear,  and 
to  experience  the  greatest  delight  them- 
selves in  their  own  notes.    The  music 
struck  us  particularly,  and  seldom  had 
we  been  more  gratified.     Many  of  its 
charms  were  probably  owing  to  its 
noi'elty,  and  the  corresponding  scenery. 
In  this  instance,  it  completely  harmo- 
nized with  our  feelings,  and 

There  it  In  toult  a  tyniMihy  with  totindf. 
And  at  the  mind  it  pitcL'd,  the  ear  it  pleat'd 
With    melting    airs   or   martial,   britk  or 

grave. 
Some  chord  in  uniton  with  what  we  hear 
Is  touch'd  within  us,  and  the  heart  replies. 

It  was  now  a  late  hour  of  the  night, 
comuletely  dark,  and  we  were  on  a 
rougti  and  dangerous  ocean,  amidst 
rain  and  wind.  The  song,  as  they 
afterwards  informed  us,  was  a  love 
ditty,  the  lamentation  of  a  maiden  at 
the  deiiarture  of  her  lover  for  Norway, 
banished  thither  by  her  wealthy  pa- 
rents, who  were  averse  to  their  union. 
The  chorus,  frequently  repeated,  was 
very  striking,  and  we  seemed  to  gratify 
our  orchestra  by  expressing  great  and 
unfeigned  pleasure  at  their  i)erform- 
ance.  The  breeze  had  suddenly  ceased, 
and  this  chorus,  at  the  recurrence  of 
which  they  seemed  to  pull  with  greater 
alacrity,  brought  to  our  mind  cGisical 
reminiscences.  In  short,  this  part  of 
mir  voyage  was  peculiarly  interesting. 
We  had  several  other  melodies,  but 
none  pleased  us  so  well  as  the  iirsi. 


None  of  them,  howerer,  were  withoot 
their  music. 

The  rain  now  fell  very  heavily,  and 
we  obsened,  for  the  first  time,  flowiiy 
from  the  rudder,  and  from  ercry  splash 
of  the  oar,  that  moit  beautiful  lumin- 
ous appearance,  the  theory  of  whieh 
has  been  the  object  of  coosidenble 
discnssion.

We  were  exceedingly  delighted,  and 
lost  in  admiration  at  the  pheaomeaoii, 
which  was  most  splendid.  On  look- 
ing backwards,  the  track  of  the  boat 
appeared  a  stream  of  the  most  vitid 
fire,  but  in  iu  inexpreasible  purity  re- 
sembling liquid  silver.  Our  nilon 
informed  us,  and,  I  believe,  very  accu- 
rately, that  the  appearance  was  mort 
particularly  luminous  in  rain,  orat  die 
approach  of  it. 

It  was  now  very  cold  and  wet,  and 
our  voyage  became  exceedingly  tcdioos. 
We  had,  however,  once  more  a  braeie, 
and   were  proceeding  cheerily,  when 
suddenly  our  boat  encountered  what 
we  supposed  the  current  of  one  of  the 
Mull  rivers  rushing  into  the  sea.    The 
shock  was  extremely  violent,  and  our 
boatmen  again  manifested considerab/e 
alarm,  aud  all  their  attention  was  once 
more  fixed  upon  the  vessel.    We,  in 
a  moment,   altered  our  course,  and 
were  borne  along  by  the  current  with 
extreme  rapidity  out  to  sea.     This  cir- 
cumsUnce,  amongst  others,  led  us  to 
suppose  that  the  men  were  not  so  well 
acouainted  with  the  coast  as  we  before 
had  imagined  them  to  be.     As  soon 
as  the  current  became  less  violent,  we 
resumed  our  course,  proceeding  ania 
towards  land.    In  the  meantimcwe 
became  heartily  tired  of  the  sea.   After 
much  hesitation,  and  a  very  mioote 
examination  of  the  shore,  we  at  lenath 
discovered  the  water  of  Aros,  a  small 
river  here  running  into  the  ocean,  and 
now,  cried  the  men,  with  great  eler 
;•  we  shall  do."    We  were  ?ight|S 
to  hear  it,  but  scarcely  had  we  got  into 
the  river  before  we  grounded  fast-  and 
though  we  were  proceeding  with  Vreat 
caution,  yet  the  shock    was   violenL 
For  our  own  parts,  we  did  not  at  this 
time  know  that  we  were  in  a  rirer  aud 
the  depth  on  either  side  the  bank  on 
which  we  were  fixed,  might,  for  any 
thing  we  knew,  be  unfathomable    Our

deiired  ui  to  get  on  their  backs,  and 
we  were  ihui  »ery  iood  borne  out  of 
the  river,  (he  water  fortunately  not 
beinv  deep.  The  boat  was  after- 
watdi  extricated  with  the  sreatest  djRi- 
cuUf.  After  a  inberable  walk,  in 
piiclty  JjrkneH,  and  over  horrible 
paiht,  we  arrived  at  the  inn,  whose 
jnhabilanls  were  not  rouged  without 
tnuch  exertion,  and  after  a  long  inter- 
val. The  maniion  and  in  accoinpanl- 
nienli  leemed  but  a  sorry  reward  for 
all  our  toils,  and  once  more  "  the 
wings  of  our  heart  well  nigh  flagged.*' 
Our  Bongilers  turned  out  snarks,  were 
distaLitlied  and  insolent,  and  our  adieus 
were  anv  thing  but  harmonious, 

We  left  this  house  the  following 
morning  at  ten,  after  receiving  ilic  in- 
Hructioni  of  our  landlord,  who  civilly 
put  us  into  the  right  direction — road 
or  path  there  was  none,  Out  route, 
indeed,  was  extremely  dreary,  and  well 
did  Johnson  cliaracierize  Mull  as  the 
"gloom  of  desolation."  Here  were 
no  "kin^sioadi/'liutrunningstreams 
in  abundance,  crossingour  path,  which 
was  exceedingly  stony  and  uneven,  and 
all  but  inipaissble.  Our  Ubouri  were 
great,  with  but  little  to  reward  them — 
the  scenery,  if  it  improved  for  a  ihorl 
space,  soon  becoming  as  dismal  and 
iminteresling  as  before.  About  mid- 
day, however,  the  weather  cleared,  the 
couniry  becainc  partially  cuUivaied, 
and,  for  Mull,  every  thing  was  cheery. 
Yet  the  crop  of  oats  was  thin,  aud 
almost  choked  with  b  yellow  weed: 
which,  destructive  as  it  was,  dispensed 
nevcnhcless  the  most  agreeable  fra- 
grance. At  length  we  came  in  view 
of  Uiva,  were  ferried  over  the  sound 
of  Mull,  and  rested  In  M'Kay's  Inn  ai 

While  expecting  dinner,  not  without 
some  impatience,  M'Kay  entered, 
landlord-like,  with  an  immense  square 
green  bolllc,  holding  two  gallons  of 
whiskey.  This  he  presented  10  us  In 
the  true  Highland  fashion,  and  of 
course  we  did  not  refuse  tlie  dum. 
He  appcarciJ  much  gratified  at  out 
praises  of  his  whiskey,   and,  indeed. 


we  merited  some  commendation  on 
the  score  of  nuliiencM,  fur,  at  ihe  lime,

now  only  anxious  lor  a  line  day  for  our 
visit  10  Stadii  on  the  morrow.  As  the 
weather   was    so  very   unsettled    our 


woriliy  individuals  had  fretted  and 
fumed  in  the  very  room  in  which  we 
were  then  sitting,  for  six,  eight,  or  ten 
days,  without  being  able  to  make  good 
their  voyage,  and  the  idea  of  returning

had  recourse  to  the 
Album  of  Ulva,  which  was  lying  on 
the  table.  This  book  belongs  to  iitaBa 
(the  Laird  so  called),  and  every  visitor 
to  this  part  of  the  world  is  expected  to 
grace  its  pages  with  his  name,  or  with 
the  more  grateful  effusions  ofhis  Muse. 
ll  is,  therefore,  deposited  at  the  inn, 
and  is  well  calculated,  from  the  variety 
of  its  contents,  to  amuse  its  owner  and 
his  family.  Upon  the  whole,  how- 
ever, the  contributions  to  it  were  but 
mediocre.  Amongst  many  other  poeti- 
cal eCTusions  were.  Lines  from  Lord 
Delawarr,  Mr.  Gisborne,  and  Waller

coats,  and  ambrellas,  and,  upon  the 
whole,  were  tolerably  well  e^oipL 
Our  lailon  reminded  us  of  whisker, 
in  addition  to  what  we  had  already 
provided,  and,  thus  furnished,  they 
took  to  their  oan,  and  we  proceeded 
on  our  voyage. 

We  had  not  cleared  the  sound  of 
Mull,  ere  the  rain  began  to  fall  very 
heavily,  and  directly  in  our  teeth.  On 
turning  the  Poini,  a  most  gloomy  and 
dishearteninff  prospect  presented  itself 
—dark  clouds  in  every  direction — and 
it  was  clear  that  we 

— -  Were  like  to  have 
A  InlUby  too  rough. 

The  swell,  too,  here  was  very  great, 
the  waves  dashed  with  the  greatest 
violence  against  the  boat,  whtch  ap- 
peared to  {^roan  under  the  shock,  at 
the  same  time  rocking  prodigiously. 
We  towered  most  sublimely  at  one 
moment,  and  sunk  into  an  abyss  in 
the  next,  but  our  boat  appeared  stout 
and  heart-whole,  and  though  she  did, 
indeed,  resound  at  the  percussion  of 
the  waves,  yet,  much  to  our  satisfac- 
tion, she  seemed  to  repel  them  moat 
sturdily,  and  with  indignation. 

We  now  made  all  way  for  an  op- 
posite Point,  in  order  to  catch  the 
Sle,  having  hitherto  made  use  only  of 
e  oars.  The  swell  was  really  tre- 
mendous, and  the  men  laboured  dread- 
fully. Several  rocks  now  presented 
themselves,  against  which  tne  waves 
were  roaring,  and  breaking  with  the 
utmost  violence.  They  rolled  on  to- 
wards the  barrier,  rose  up  to  its  sum- 
mit, with  an  appalling  noise,  but 
speedily  returned,  as  it  were  exhausted, 
while  the  rocks,  firm  and  immove- 
able, laughed  at  their  utmost  efforts. 
The  spray  rose  most  beautifully,  of  va- 
rious (lues — of  silver  mingled  with  the 
purest  green,  and  the  contemplation  of 
It  aflbrded  the  greatest  satisfaction. 
Close  to  these  breakers  we  shipped  our 
oars,  and  hoisted  our  large  and  dispro- 
portioned  sail. 

It  was  raining  very  hard,  the  wind 
blowing  steadily  and  strong,  the  island 
of  Stafia  was  iu  sight,  our  wi^t  bouiKled 
over  the  dark  foam  of  the  seas,  and  we 
expected  soon  to  reach  the  object  of 
our  destination,  vi'hen,  in  the  midst 
of  our  anticipations,  the  gale  suddenly 
encreased  to  a  most  violent  squall ;  the 
rain  descended  with  tenfold  violence, 
mingled  with  hail ;  it  grew  extremely 
cold,  and  our  hands  were  so  benumbed 
ihit  they  possessed  scarce  enow%Vi  oC 
pliancy  "  to  tak  our  au\d  c\oaV.  aLVK>vLt.

Oor  sailon  manircated  the  great- 
est amciety;  they  endeavoured,  with 
the  mmosC  easerneaa,  to  furl  the  sail, 
bat  this,  witn  all  Iheir  eSbria,  they 
were  unable  to  aecoinplrah.  It  was  » 
thoroughly  wet,  and  the  cordage  re- 
fused to  move.  They,  therefore,  ha- 
moured  it  as  much  at  poaatblep  and,  I 
am  confident,  supposed  themaelves  ia 
the  extremest  danger.  Indeed  they 
afterwards  confessed  as  moch.  l%e 
boat  was  now  completely  on  one  side. 
or  gun-whale  to,  and  we  expected 
the  waves  momentarily  to  dash  in  am 
as.  We  were  borne,  with  resisuai 
violence,  before  the  wind,  in  thedi* 
reetion  of  a  small  island,  1  bctiere^ 
Colonsay,  and  againH  which  the  serf 
was  beating  in  all  ita  horrors,  ni 
rising  to  a  wonderful  height. 

Very  fortunately  the  squall  ceased  si 
suddenly  as  it  came  on.  Had  it  lasied 
another  five  minutes,  it  would,  I  thiak, 
in  all  probabilitv  have  beeu  fatal  to  m.

once  more  broke  forth,  and  befbie  we 
reached  Staflb,  we  had  lets  ore  co  ru-

lusive loTetburyoi  Tule.  we  will  not 
decide.  TV/bury  it  now  euphonized 
into  roirbury. 

On  the  Myihe  adjacent  lo  Tewkes- 
bury is  a  suona;  fortiricaiion,  the  form 
of  which  Mr.  tiennei  does  not  describe, 
but  lhe  camp  at  Telbury  orTowbury 
was  evidenily  adapted  to  the  Roman 
modes  of  cast  ram  eta  I  ion.  According 
to  the  rule*  which  we  have  derived 
from  Sir  R.  C.  Hoare.  for  ascertaining 
Briirsh  remains,  we  infer  thai  the 
Myihe  was  primarily  a  Celtic  or  Bri- 
tish acropolis,  or  ciiadcl,  such  as  was 
tisuallv  annexed  lo  their  settlements;

RiTiBW^ — ^Bennet*!  Ifitloyy  of  Tewkethurif^        {rou  c 


night  appear,  if  wc  bad  detailed  de- 
tcnptions  of  the  earthworks,  io  or  very 
near  the  spot.  [We  invite  communica- 
tions to  that  effect]  One  thing  should 
be  particularly  remembered.  It  is,  that 
the  old  towns  of  the  British  and  Ro- 
man sera  were  deserted  for  settlements 
nearer  the  rivers.  Thus  Hereford  grew 
out  of  Kenchester ;  Magnis  Mon- 
mouth out  of  Blettium  (Staunton), 
Rosa  out  of  Ariconium  (the  BolUtree) ; 
Chepstow  out  of  Caerwent  (Fenia  St- 
lurum)  I  Salisbury  out  of  Old  Sarum 
(Surbiodunumji  and  many  others ;  and 
it  it  also  to  be  recollected  that  Oldbury 
is  an  appellation  which  denotes  a  fact 
not  controvertible. 

Every  thing  relative  to  the  history 
and  foundation  of  the  Abbey  is  known 
and  admitted;  but  there  has  been 
much  dispuution  concerning  the  mo- 
numents. It  is  a  misfortune ;  because 
in  ancient  splendid  tombs,  we  know  of 
acarcelv  any  church  which  surpasses 
it.  Tne  late  Mr.  L^ons  attempted  to 
remedy  this  confusion,  and  we  are 
happy  to  find  that  Mr.  Bennet  has 
adopted  his  corrections.  We  have  not 
tumcient  local  knowledge  to  improve 
it ;  but  this  we  do  know,  that  witn  the 
Abbey  Chronicle,  printed  in  the  Mo- 
nasticon,  is  intermixed  a  catalogue  of 
all  the  noble  persons  interred  m  the 
monastery,  and  that  a  list  of  them,  and 
the  sites  qf  their  sepulture,  should  have 
been  made  before  the  questions  had 
been  agitated.  These  deceased  persons 
vrere  far  more  numerous  than  tne  mo- 
numents. Mr.  Bennet,  p.  173,  has 
indeed  given  us  a  list  (we  think  im- 
jierfect)  of  *' distinguished  persons  bu- 
ried here,  who  have  no  [existing]  mo- 
numents.*' This  list  has  the  follow- 
ing paragraph : 

**  Oilbsrt  de  Uare,  the  second,  who  died 
in  1896,  WM  alto  buried  in  the  choir  near 
tlia  communion  uble.  The  effigies  of  this 
nobleman  formerly  stood  over  one  qfthe  stalls, 
not  far  from  his  grave,  in  a  pensive  position, 
with  an  inscription  in  gold  characters."-— 
p.  174. 

It  10  happens  that  a  painted  effigy  of 
a  youth  in  mail,  kneeling,  placed  out 
of  the  way  upon  the  roof  ot  a  chapel 
of  the  Tnnity,  has  been  presumed  by 
Mr.  Fosbroke,  from  the  circumstances 
hereafter  mentioned,  to  have  apper- 
tained to  the  last  Gilbert  de  Clare, 
Earl  of  Gloucester,  killed  in  Scotland, 
A.  D.  1314.  This  presumption  has 
been  questioned  ^  and  the  figure  as- 


cribed to  £dwanl  Le  Despenaer,  the 
second  of  the  name,  ^ho  married  Eli- 
zabeth, daughter  of  Bartholomew  de 
Burshersh  (p.  1 65);  but  how  the  jo- 
venility  of  toe  fi^re,  and  the  atyle  of 
the  armour,  which  harmonisca  with 
the  sera  of  the  above  Gilbert  de  Clare, 
who  perished  at  the  early  ag^  of  eigli- 
teen,  can  be  made  to  ag;ree  with  Sir 
Edward  le  Despenser,  who  was  the 
father  of  six  children «  and  died  Nor. 
11,  1375^*  we  know  not.  In  the  year 
following  died  Edward  the  Back 
Prince ;  and  if  the  style  of  the  aimoor 
upon  bis  effigies  t  be  compared  wiib 
that  of  the  Tewkesbury  fiKure,  it  will 
be  found  very  different.  Xhe  Abbqr 
Chronicle^  does  not  mention  any  cflE- 
gies  of  this  Edward  le  Despenaer,  aod 
as  other  figures  have  been  remove! 
from  the  church,  it  is  probable  that 
this  does  not  apply  to  Hdsoard  Le  Des- 
penser ;  but  we  ahall  not  enter  fuitber 
into  the  subject,  because  ^ee  hare  no 
desire  on  that  account  to  undergo  the 
expense  and  inconvenience  of  ajoor- 
ney  on  purpose.  Nor  are  Uiese  ooo- 
teutions  alf.  The  aite  of  the  inter- 
ment of  Edward,  son  of  Heory  the 
Sixth ;  the  appropriation  of  a  beaou- 
fulubernacle  for  a  saint'a  bell;  and 
the  site  of  the  battle,  between  Edward 
the  Fourth  and  Mars;aret  of  Aojoo, 
have  all  been  contested.  The  onW  de- 
tailed and  satisfactory  account  of  that 
sanguinary  affair  is  given  by  Holinshed; 
but  the  localities  seem  not  to  have  beea 
well  determined  (according  to  oar 
knowledge)  before  the  publicauon  oif 
thia  work.  This  adjustment  confen 
great  credit  upon  Mr.  Bennet,  and  we 
are  only  sorry  that  necessity  compeb 
us  to  abbreviate  it. 

It  has  been  said  that  the  Lancas- 
trians were  encamped  in  a  meadow 
called  the  Vineyard,  but  thia  is  com- 
manded by  a  long  ridge  of  high  land 
in  front,  and  has  the  river  Swilgate 
close  in  the  rear.  Mr.  Bennet  theit- 
fore  rejects  it,  and,  according  to  our 
recollection,  when  we  visited  Tewkes- 
bury, we  thought  it  a  very  strange  po- 
sition for  an  array.  On  the  contraiy, 
says  Mr.  Bennet,

the  Oernan  plot  we  are  not  aurprited ; 
because  probability,  moral  feelings,  or 
prodential  coosequences,  are  commonly 
sacrificed  to  striking  effect.  Philoso- 
phen,  however,  will  take  the  liberty  of 
obserring  that  no  woman  will  listen  to 
the  calumnies  of  a  seducer  against  her 
husband,  unless  her  mind  be  first  cor- 
rupted ;  and  that  the  detection  of  such 
calumnies  is  exceedingly  easy.

WEYMOUTH  and  its  consort, 
Melcombe,  have  been  hitherto  deemed 
drstituie  of  any  remote  claims  i  but  Mr. 
Ellis  has  lent  tome  support  to  Baxier'i 
opinion,  that  one  was  the  Clavinium 
ot  Ravcnllai,  from  the  discovery  of  a 
Vicinal  way,  leading  to  the  Ikenild-

We  itfcoinnietid  Mr.  Ellis  to  the  pft- 
trouage  of  the  Craft ;  for  in  p.  33  he  also 
ID  forms  Ds,  that 

*<  Ralph  de  Moothermer  was  raised  to  the 
decree  of  grand  roaster  of  the  beautiful  and 
sublime  mysteries  of  freemasonry  in  all  Eng- 
land, at  the  death  of  Gilb.  de  Clara,  1880.*' 

As  he  married  a  widow  of  Clare,  we 
arc  therefore  to  presume  that  the  ^rand 
mastership  was  then  a  heir-loom  in  the 
Clare  family. 

Another'curioos  circumstance  con- 
nected with  Weymouth  is  its  being  a 
favourite  port  for  the  embarkation  of 
pilgrims  to  Composiclla. 

*(  In  the  year  1428,  996  pilgrims  sailed 
from  England ;  vis.  from  London,  980 ; 
Bristol,  900 ;  and  Weymouth,  999.  It  ap- 
pears that  the  inhabitants  built  ships  on 
purpose  to  convey  the  pilgrims.*' — p.  113. 

We  sliall  next  extract  a  passage, 
which  shows  a  method  taken  by  Go- 
vernment to  prevent  insurrection,  and 
what  was  deemed  a  good  income  for 
a  Member  of  Parliament. 

**  lOth  Henry  VI.  14Sd. — Undor pretence 
of  tlie  country  being  overrun  with  robbers 
(which  was  a  mere  subterfuge j ,  as  the  real 
object  in  view  was  the  detection  of  those 
who  were  the  adherents  of  the  house  of 
York,  four  commissionen  were  empowered  to 
summon  and  tender  an  oatli  to  persons  of 
C|uality  to  keep  the  peace,  both  themselves 
and  their  retainers.  The  commissioners  vi- 
sited most  of  the  towns  in  this  county ;  in 
Melcombe,  the  only  individuals  who  gave  in 
tlieir  names  were  the  twoM.P.'s  for  the  bo- 
rough, Philip  Leweston  and  William  Corfe ; 
these  are  stated  to  be  considerable  men,  and 
able  to  disperse  19^  per  annum  each  indivi- 
dnal."~p.  lis. 

This  sum,  multiplied  by  Mr.  Ellis's 
own  ratio,  (Bfteen)  is  180/.  per  annum  ; 
but  the  fact  is,  that  mere  multiplication 
by  any  number  will  not  give  an  accu- 
rate idea  of  real  value;  nor  is  the  price 
of  wheat  any  better  standard ;  for  the 
dale  here  is  1433,  and  Fleetwood  says, 
(Chronic.  Precios.  p.  103,  ed.  8vo.) 
that  in  1434,  though  a  wet  year,  wheat 
was  sold  in  many  places  of  the  king- 
dom at  1/.  6s.  3a.  per  quarter;  but  that 
at  the  end  of  the  year  following  it  sunk 
a«;aiii  to  the  u^ual  roiiiuion  price  of  a 
quarter  about  vbaV.  Uuw,  5)$,4i(.  \  iiivd 


"[rov.  Ci 


in  1439,  through  icarcItT,  nmagBn  to 
If.  6t.  Sd,    We  know  tnat  in  ooronm 


timet,  wheat  it  to  affected  by  i 
of  plenty  or  scarcity,  that  the  prien 
vary  far  too  much  for  a  atandaid ;  ud 
if  we  take  Browne  Willis's  scale  of  SL 
per  annum,  as  the  cost  of  board  for  a 
parish  priest,  then  the  18f.  per  aoonm 
of  the  said  members  of  ^rliaaeBt 
would  only  maintain  two  persons  snd 
a  boy.  In  short,  unless  we  can  cft  at 
the  actual  price  of  every  article  of  coo- 
suroption  at  the  time  being*  and  the 
necessary  expenditure  of  the  qoanism 
per  annum  of  each ,  we  cannot  tell  bow 
much  of  such  articles  twelre  poaods 
per  annum  would  furnish.  OoeficK  ii 
only  apparent :  that,  in  modem  times, 
not  price  only,  but  intrinsic  value  it 
also  greatly  altered  ;  for  Bishop  Fleet* 
wood  tells  us,  that  while  at  this  prried 
wheat  was  only  about  Sid.  the  bosbel, 
fine  cloth  for  surplices  (see  p.  106),  wv 
Sd.  the  ell :  that  is,  of  the  Taloe  of  a 
bushel  of  wheat,  and  taking  the  sKh 
dem  co»t  of  a  bushel  at  lOt.  6d.  no 
fine  linen  for  surplices  now  costs  anj- 
thing  like  such  a  sum  ;  so  that  while 
in  former  times  manufactured  goodi 
far  exceeded  agricultural  produce  is 
value,  the  converse  of  the  propositioa 
has  now  ensued. 

We  willinftly  give  every  credit  to 
Mr.  Ellis  for  his  useful  work.

Warner,  F.jiJS.  ^e,  ^e.  4'c  3  voL  Seo. 

MR.  WARNER  has  dbtingoished 
himself  by  his  worthy  endeavoois  lo 
vindicate  rational  piety,  which  those 
who  ou^ht  to  know  better  have  been 
foolishly  strivins  to  exiin|cuish.  He 
was  influenced,  he  says  (ii.  308)  by  the 
axiom  of  Paley,  that  he  who  makes 
Christianity  most  rational,  makes  it 
most  credible.  This  is  undeniable,  for 
by  reference  to  natural  philosophy,  it 
will  be  clearly  seen  that  he  who  makes 
the  word  of  God  irreconcileable  with 
the  laws  of  his  Providence,  is  unquali- 
fied for  a  teacher,  and  substitutes  the 
enthusiasm  of  the  ignorant  for  the 
knowledge  of  the  learned.  Hence  it 
happens,  says  Mr.  Townsend,  that  one 
of  the  most  strenuous  advocates  oi  that 
mode  of  instruction  which  is  generally 
called  Evangelical,  has  written  an  essay 
on  the  aversion  of  men  of  taste  to  evan- 
gelical religion.  Now  the  confession 
that  men  of  taste  can  be  adverse  to 
evuLUujL'lical  religion,  while  iheyareaoi

Mr.  Warner  ivai  born  in  London. 
and  like  most  oilier  London  boys,  and 
some  country  ones,  commenced  h'n 
siudiet  with  Turn  Thumb,  Jack  the 
Giant  Killer,  and  the  Seven  Cham- 
pions; heroes  whose  high  fame  and 
exploits  tve  also  recollect  with  much 
ple.isore.  He  wai  next  taken  to  see  a 
play,  and  allempled  the  dagger-scene 
in  Macbeth  with  a  carving  knife. 
When  five  yean  old,  he  was  imprisoned 
in  one  of  ihoie  jails  for  boys,  entitled 
3   boarding  school;  anil  bilietly  com- 

t loins  of  their  pcnilenliary  diet.  Here 
c  siaycd,  till  he  hadacquired  the  usual 
eleiucnlary  Latin,  preparatory  lo  the 
Greek  grammar,  and  then  removed 
with  hisraiherioLymiitglonin  Hamp- 
shire. Of  this  place  he  speaks  affec- 
tionately, and  mentions  various  ac- 
quaintance :  among  ihcm  a  Mr.  Dun- 
ketly  and  a  Misi  Bere.  The  former  we 
also  knew.  He  was  the  reputed  natu- 
ral son  of  Geuige  the  Second,  and  to 
him,  not  to  George  the  Third,  as  Mr. 
Warner  says,  he  bore  a  strong  facial 
reiemblanrc.  We  have  read  a  confu- 
lalioii  of  his  presumed  origin,  hut  frnm 

bcrs  of  the  royal  family,*  as  well  as 
penooal  likeness,  wc  believe  his  claims 
to  have  been  jult.  A  more  romanlic 
story  is  that  of  Misl  Bere.  A  Mrs. 
Hackmaii  wanted  a  weeder  for  bet 
garden.  John  the  footman  brought  a 
litile  eirl  Trom  the  workhouse,  who, 
like  1  bee,  sang  ai  her  work.  Her  mil' 
tress,  pleased  with  the  rich  melody  of 


her  voice,  ordered  hei  to  be  introduced ; 
and,  being  pleased  with  her  manners, 
promoted  her  from  the  workhouse  lo 
Ihe  kitchen,  as  cook's  deputy.  Her  de- 
portment was  so  good,  that  she  wis 
soon  preferred  to  be  lady's  maid,  and 
carefully  instructed  in  elementary  edu- 
cation. In  this  situation  she  made 
herself  so  agreeable  lo  her  mistress  by 
an  uncommon  sweetness  of  temper, 
gentleness  of  disposition,  and  rcminine 
sofineid  of  character,  thai  she  was  soon 
promoted  lo  ihc  rank  of  a  humble 
friend,  and  uliimately  was  adopted  and 
educated  as  a  daughter.  She  became 
highly  accomplished,  and  attracted  the 
attention  of  «  young  clergyman,  who 
came  lo  Lymingloii  torautumnal  bath- 
ing and  partridge  shooting.  He  made 
hei  an  offer,  bul,  as  he  had  only  his 
living,  and  she  had  no  rortutie.  It  was 
judged  prudent  that  the  affair  should 
be  ilropi.  It  was  so,  lo  all  appearance 
entirely,  but  in  the  ensuing  season,  the 
Rev.  gentleman  returned,  "  a  Dean  ,'' 
renewed  his  offer,  which  was  accepted;

denl  tokeni  of  study  {  and  both  made 
■imitar  powerful  impressions  upon  the 
poblic  mind  ;  the  influencp  of  \\te  ce- 
lebrated Lettrrj,  under  Tar  n 


in  lilerarr  merit,  the  I.etlen 
folly  riTil  them.  In  ihort,  we  think 
that  the  Oration*  of  D<^tno<theiiei  and 
the  Lelteri  of  Junius  are  the  only  two 
works  which  have  aulficlent  analogy 
lo  be  |>roper  subjecit  of  comparison. 

The  style  of  Demosthenes  is  known 
■0  be  of  that  xra  when  the  language 
had  aiiaiiicd  its  most  perfifct  atair,  and 
for  the  purpose  of  pleasing  "  oures  le- 
retes  atque  religiosas"  (see  Cic.  Oral. 
ix.)  had  been  arranged  even  upon  must- 

33).  Add  to  tliis,  that  ail  the  lechni- 
cal  minuLiie  and  elegances  of  diction 
were  studied  by  the  greui  orator-,  and 
loour  ears  the  rhythm  of  his  sentences 
is  so  pal|>able  as  to  resemble  the  step 
ofamarch.  Norislhisall;  we  fancy 
that  the  words  are  so  assorted,  from  □!- 
tenilon  to  iheir  respective  sounds,  that 
erery  word  in  recitation  must  be  arti- 
culated distinctly,  and  that  the  most 
hasty  enunciation  could  not  run  them 
into  each  other.  This  appears  lo  have 
been  eiTccied  breach  of  the  conlieuout 
words  having  diisiitiilar  sounds.  When 
this  cliatiicter  of  the  diction  be  added 
to  the  slrengthineas  of  the  ideas,  it  will 
appear  ihpt  no  work  can  be  more  fit 
for  leaching  the  language  and  forming 

The  note*  and  illustrations  of  Mr. 
Barker  prove  his  masterly  knowledge  of 
the  language,  attd  oive  lo  the  pupil  and 
■ludetil  most  valuable  atsisiancc. 

In  narration,  the  useful  brevity  of 
Salluit,  without  his  seir-eonceil,  may 
be  excellently  imitated;  and  it  is,  in 
our  opinion,  a  fortunate  circumstance 
thai  the  foppery  of  his  taste  does  not 
■ppc.ir  in  the  translation  with  anything 
like  the  prominence  of  the  original. 

Xenophon,  layi  a  pcrfecl  Judge, 
(Bishop  Hunlingrord)  is  "  among  the 
Greek  authors  the  most  chaste,  pure, 
simple,  and  elegant,  in  his  style  and 
diction."  tn  the  preface  to  this  work,

THERE  it  no  position  more  de- 
nMnstrative  than  that  taxes  upon  artl- 
clei  or  consumption  are  levied  not 
upon  the  wealth  (as  supposed)  of  a 
nation,  but  upon  the  population,  whe- 
ther it  can  be  aflbrdrd  iir  not ;  and  that 
ihe  beat  method  (were  It  piacticable) 
would  be  lu  hav«  nothing  taned,  but 
to  pay  a  given  mm  In  lieu  of  It  to  Go- 
Tcrnmeiil.  All  the  laxei  arc  paid  by 
consumcn,  and  if  alt  consumers  were 
rich,  tnitallrgalion  would  beuniound: 
but  aiott  coniumeri  arc  poor ;  and  if 
it  he  said  that  the  taxes  are  levied  only 
upon  luxuries,  our  answer  Is,  that  the 
land-ptoprieion,  and  all  high-living 
tradesmen,  at  least  mutt  toite  the  price 
of  necessaries  by  high  rents  or  ptoRls, 
to  procure  thoie  luxuries;  and  that 
such  luturies  are  therefore  raited  oui 
ofan  artificial  price  of  necessaries. 

Mr.  Thomson,  In  a  manner  very 
elabonte,  and  «  we  think  denoting 
high  senatorial  merit,  maintains  two 
positions.  One  is  (the  chief),  that 
lowering  the  duties  in  various  articles 
of  consumption  would  produce  more 
than  the  present  amount,  by  more  ei- 
lensive  use,  and  diminution  of  smug- 
gling; a  doctrine  which  it  teems,  from

THEcTiicniion  of  useful  knowledge 
is  imply  icsiificd  by  the  improvemcnti 
made  iu  ihe  various  arts  to  which  luch 
knowledge  may  resjteciively  refer;  and 
Ihe  publication  of  works  upon  such 
subjects,  not  only  exhibits  defects 
which  are  to  be  avoided,  but  incites 
competiiion,  by  detailing  superior  pro- 
cess in  the  manipulations.  The  uti- 
lity of  the  press  is  on  such  subjects 
particularly  conspicuous,  because  it 
DOth  disperses  and  preserves  the  im- 
proved knowledge;  and  the  cheaper 
the  works  are  rendered,  the  greater,  of 
course,  is  the  circulation.  These  re- 
marks are  almost  truisms,  but  thej 
serve  to  shew  how  unnecessary  it  is 
Id  dilate  upon  obvious  things,  and 
make  more  observations. 

The  particular  merit  of  such  works 
consists  in  the  soundness  and  quantity 
of  the  information.  Mr.  l^onovan  has 
every  Qualification,  and  the  book  shows 
the  fullness  of  his  knowledge,  and  the 
judgment  with  which  it  is  accompa- 
nied. We  do  not  know  a  su|>erior 
multum  in  parvo.  Extracts  we  might 
make  of  much  scientific  value,  but 
prefer  giving  those  of  a  more  general 
bind,  as  being  likely  to  interest  most 
readers. 

•*  Method  of  producing  the  effects  of  age 
in  new  ff^ie.-^The  nevr  wine  should  he 
kept  in  bottles  not  corked,  but  tied  over 
with  toft  bladder;  in  which  state  it  will 
in  twelve  months  become  as  mellow  as  in 
twelve  years  in  the  cask.  The  shallower 
the  vessel,  and  the  wider  the  mouth,  the 
•ooner  will  the  effiscts  be  produced. 

*'  These  facts  have  in  substance  been 
eonfirmed  by  M.  St.  Vincent.  He  states 
from  long  experience,  that  by  closing  bottles 
of  wine  by  means  of  parchment,  or  bladder, 
instead  of  corks,  we  may  attain  in  a  few 
weeks  the  go^id  effects  of  many  years." 

"  Effects  of  Tea. — Taken  strong,  and  in 
great  quantity,  it  produces  exhilaration,  an 
indescribable  feeling  of  lightness  of  body,  as 
if  in  one's  step  we  scarcely  touched  the 
ground ;  along  with  a  perception  of  in- 
creased magnitude,  apparently,  of  all  objects. 
Swallowed  in  very  great  excess,  it  produces 
horror  of  mind,  an  intolerable  apprehension 
of  sudden  death,  and  fits  of  asphyxia,  or 
suspended  animation." 

**  Practical  rules  far  Bottling  >^fc».— The 
first  question  to  be  considered  is,  whether 
the  ale  is  in  proper  order  for  bottling  ?  If 
on  drawing  out  the  vent-peg  of  the  cask 
ilie  liquor  spurts  up  with  force,  it  it  a  proof 
(lut  the  fermentation  ly  still  too  active  to 
MJKltr  iC  safe  to  bott\e.    The  \Mst  wa.^  ot 


proceeding  hi  this  ease  will  be  lo  tt  vp  the 
bottles,  and  to  leave  ihera  uBcodtad  fiir 
twenty-four  hours.  Should  they  hav*  ksfc 
by  frothing  over,  or  should  the  froth  ham 
subsided  in  the  bottles,  they  are  to  be  filled 
up  within  two  inches  of  tho  eorlEs:  tbe 
corks  are  then  to  be  driven .  hu»e,  and  the 
bottles  are  to  be  laid  on  their  sides.  The 
use  of  laying  them  on  their  aides  ia  in  orler 
to  soak  the  corks  and  swell  them,  so  that 
they  may  fit  perfectly  tight,  and  thaa  totally 
prevent  the  escape  of  carbonic  acid ;  for  it 
is  to  the  presence  of  thia  gass  that  tlis 
briskness  is  attributable.  It  is  also  poasaUe 
that  when  the  bottles  lie  oo  tlieir  aides  tbsy 
offer  less  obstmctifin  to  the  last  feeble  efiioru 
of  fermeutation  than  if  they  atood  in  th^ 
high  column  which  an  upright  poature  wovU 
produce.  Pressure  resists  chemical  chanjiss. 
"  In  this  state  the  drink  IieccMQes  i^ia 
the  bottle,  as  it  is  termed.  If  it  be  strueg, 
it  remains  quiet;  if  weak,  it  begins  to  bom' 
the  bottles ;  and  as  soon  as  notice  of  tbb 
kind  is  given  by  one  bottle,  all  the  rest 
should  be  sec  standing  up;  this  will  pie-.' 
vent  further  bursting." 

We  could  add  many  other  thin^; 
but,  in  grneral,  it  is  cheaper  and  safer 
to  buy  the  articles  ready  made  than  to 
incur  the  risk  of  failure,  or  the  ge- 
nerally heavier  expense  of  making 
small  quantities  with  perhaps  an  im- 
perfect apparatus,  e.  g.  it  is  much 
better  to  buy  French  hrtskd^  bisscuits 
cyder,  &c.  than  make  either.  No  fact 
is  better  known  than  that  two  persons 
using  the  same  receipt  will  not  have 
the  same  success,  because  much  de- 
pends upon  practice,  caution,  and  at- 
tention to  the  process  in  its  operalioD.

WE  have  been  utterly  astonished  at 
the  locomotive  powers  of  Capt.  Coch- 
rane. He  passes  over  thousands  of 
miles  upon  earth  as  speedily  as  a  geo- 
grapher does  those  upon  a  map,  at 
lea&tas  speedily  as  a  serv.^ut  loitering 
upon  an  errand  of  only  a  single  mile. 
He  mentions  having  travelled  on« 
hundred  and  thirty  miles  in  less  than 
twenty- four  hours,  with  a  Cossack 
and  sledge,  on  what  sort  of  road, 
or  over  what  sort  of  country,  he 
knew  not,  through  fatigue  CI 22),  anj 
coasted  along  the  outer  edge  of  some 
ice  at  the  raie  of  eighteen  miles  in  an 
hour  and  a  half.  (Id.  123.)  To  adi 
to  the  wonder  of  this  speed.  Captain

and  in  that  relatioo  we  may  ascribe  to 
it  the  character  which  Blair  gives  of 
the  latter,  ?is.  *'  that  do  fiction  in  any 
language  was  ever  better  supported.^ 
To  its  transcentlant  merits,  as  a  book 
of  genius,  the  best  of  our  writers  have 
borne  willing  testimony ;  and,  in  our 
•pinion,  it  has  had  the  grand  effect  of 
producing  in  numbers  a  strong  desire 
Mr  a  happy  immortality.    As  to  the 
doctrinal  part,  it  has  been  characteriied 
by  theologians  as  the  best  display  of 
Cialvinism  ever  written.    Of  that  sys- 
tem divines  of  taste,  judsment,  and 
rational  pieiy,  have  long  had  but  one 
opinion  |  viz.  that  it  is  absurd  to  sup- 
pose that  Christ  came  into  the  world 
to  save  sinners,  when  their  future  fate 
was    predestinated    before  the?  were 
bora ;  an  absurdity  which,  if  it  beblss- 
phemy  to  insult  the  Almighty,  well 
OflMrvrs  that    imputation,   because  it 
makes  him  the  Author  of  Evil,— of 
creating  beings  for  no  other  purpose 
bat  that  of  torturing  them  for  ever. 
Bunyan,  however,  had  this  strange  no« 
tion,    because,  according    to    certain 
ix>nconfor mists,*  he  thought  that  he 
wanted  faith,  and  **never  could  have  any , 
h€caui9  he  was  not  one  of  the  elect ;" 
a  representation  which  is  softened  down 
by  Dr.  Southey  in  p.  xix.     It  would 
be  needless,  however,   to  pursue  his 
theological  notions  to  any  extent,  for 
ibey  are  most  unphilosopnical  and  ir- 
rational.    It  is  said  that  he  has  illus* 
Irated  and  confirmed  the  doctrine  of  a 
particular  providence  i^^admitied,  but 
if  we  conjoin  it  with  Calvioistic  pre- 
destination, the   latter  neutralizes  it. 
Because  Bunyan  had  some  remarkable 
escapes  from  danger,  like  most  other 
men,  certain  biographers,  who  are  not 
averse  from  pious  frauds,  have  insinu- 
ated that  he  was  preserved  on  purpose 
to  show  the  infallibility  of  Calvin's 
palpable  solecisms,  and  that  his  genius 
was  therefore  a  predestinated  matter 
also  ;  but  the  Abbe  du  Bos  states  it  as 
a  common  distinction  of  nature  be- 
'tween  genius  and  talents,  that  the  for- 
mer has  an  insuperable  propensity  to 
one  particular  pursuit,  and  that  in  con- 
sequence, as  a  common  result  of  the 
division  of  labour,  it  attains  an  extra- 
ordinary degree  of  pre-eminence.   Cer- 
tain it  IS  that  Bunyan  had  a  decided 
bias  to  religious  subjects,  and  a  won- 
derful imagination,  that  might  excite 
envy  in  the  greatest  poei%.    rJ e  ^wx>av

Mr.  D*Israeli  happily  calh  Bonjsa

£n£land.  This  was  a  popniar  bodi  in  ftaa-

pular sale.  There  is  ae  mocfa  wit  in  it  as  n 
tha  Pilgrim**  Progress,  and  It  ia  that  vein  of 
wit  which  Bunyan  has  worked  with  sadi 
good  success.  It  waoU  the  charm  ofsMKyi 
and  has  nothing  of  that  romantie  intsisit 
*  which  holds  cliildren  firom  sleep  ;*  sad 
therefore  its  popularity  has  past  awaj.  Bvt 
it  is  written  with  great  spirit  and  aUUty.** 
— p.  xcil. 

If  this  work,  therefore,  was  the 
Rowley,  Bunyan  was  the  Chatterton. 

We  shall  not  touch  upon  the  inci« 
dents  of  his  life;  because  every  body 
knows  that  he  was  a  tinker,  who  be- 
came a  preacher,— -transformations  not 
so  surprising  as  those  of  fairy  tales,  but 
differing  from  those  of  political  tinken, 
because  ihey  retain  the  origiaal  trade, 
after  ihev  hare  been  exalted  into  ao- 
thors  and  orators. 

As  to  his  character,  in  a  moral  And 
private  view,  after  his  reformation  it 
stands  fair ;  but  of  his  decided  scbts- 
maticism,  intolerant  exclufiveneaa,  aod 
troublesome  spirit.  Dr.  Southey  gives

'fOoc*  h«  obtenred  his  Grace  lie  dowD 
with  bis  frc«  turned  towards  the  ground  in 
■orrow.'* — i.  1 19  ;  ii.  904. 

William  of  Malmesbury,  speaking 
of  Baldwin  Earl  of  Flanders,  says, 
that  one  cause  of  his  violent  death  was 
because  u|)on  that  day  he  had  presum- 
ed to  eat  garlic  with  goose  (quod  ea  die 
allium  cum  aucdprassumpterit).  (Scrip- 
tor,  p.  Bed.  go,  a.  ed.  1596.*'  It  secaia 
that  the  modern  Normans 

''Would  deem  it  an  intuit  to  place  a 
goose  upon  a  gentleman's  table ;  it  is  fiK>d, 
according  to  Norman  notions,  fit  for  beg- 
gars only." — i.  974. 

Roast  coose  was  certainly  an  Anglo- 
Saxon  dish.  (See  Decern  Scriptorcs, 
col.  96O.)  And  possibly  we  have  re- 
tained it  through  them. 

We  are  very  fond  in  England  of 
Normanizing  our  ancient  Churches. 
We  find  that  along  a  beautiful  valley 
of  Lower  Normandy,  between  Gisors 
and  Gournay, 

"The  left  acclivity  which  bounded  it 
was  covered  with  a  dense  hanging  wuod, 
that  would  have  done  credit  to  any  English 
nobleman's  park ;  above  which  shot,  here 
and  there,  a  church  spire  or  tower ;  and  the 
greater  part  of  these  churches,  as  well  as  of 
others  in  the  neighbourhood,  was  said  to 
have  Ifcn  built  ly  the  English.  The  Nor- 
mans professed  themselves  to  Ije  of  the  same 
stock  as  the  English ;  and  if  a  jolly  appear- 
ance and  an  uproarioustiCKS  of  deportmeut 
are  pfiiuts  of  identitv,  I  for  one  will  never 
contest  the  validity  ojf  their  claims/' — i.  975. 

The  next  extract  shows  results  of 
bad  roads  not  known  in  England.  At 
Hesdin  in  Picardy,  our  anthur 

«*  Saw  for  the  firnt  time  men  iralfcing  upon 
pattenSf  and  for  thit  sensible  practice  we  af- 
terwards discovered  valid  reasons.  They 
tco/Jb  vpon  partem  in  the  north  of  France, 
for  the  same  cause  that  they  stride  upon 
stilts  in  the  south,  because  they  would  other- 
wise sink  in  the  mire.  Sometimes  on  sub- 
sequent occasions,  I  was  fain,  when  quar- 
tered in  a  boggy  hamlet,  to  go  out  to  dine 
mounted  on  a  pair  of  these  conveniences, 
and  propped  by  a  stout  long  staff.  Besides 
this,  a  lantern  was  an  indispensable  article 
df  equipage.  As  the  Government,  however, 
could  not  or  would  not  mend  the  by-ways, 
the  state  of  the  lanes  about  the  habitations 
of  the  agriculturists  was  in  winter  such  as  to 
render  them  impassable  either  on  horse 
shoes  or  any  other.  Indeed  the  infantn/y 
which  occupied  some  of  these  communes^  were 
tv-t  unfrequently  conveyed  to  thtir  parades  in 
carts.  The  pattens  are  different  from  those 
used  by  the  females  of  England,  being  much 
broader  in  the  rbgs>  and  more  steadfast." — 
ji.ji>.91. 


Our  author,  who  ia  a  medieal  man, 
•aya  that  marks  in  children  have  no 
more  concern  with  the  fancies  of  the 
mother,  than  with  the  cap  or  wig 
which  the  might  have  worn  opoa  her 
head. — ii.  35. 

During  part  of  the  residence  of  our 
army  in  France,  the  regimental  drill 
ground  was  the  celebrated  field  of 
Azincour. 

'*  There  is  no  poaitioD«  ift  the  militaryac- 
captation  of  the  term  ;  but  the  open  apace, 
vpon  which  the  shock  of  th«  two  ar«ics 
took  place,  was  covered  on  either  flank  by  a 
wood.  That  into  which  Henry  threw  a  bodjr 
of  archers  belongs  not  to  the  village  er 
commune  of  Azincour,  but  to  the  oeigb- 
bouring  one  of  TVamecour,  and  we  are  u- 
sured  tliat  some  of  the  identical  trees  mtn 
still  standing.  The  apace  ia  very  oarrov, 
and  afforded  fiMiilities  for  a  small  force  is 
present  as  extended  a  front  as  a  large  one. 

**  There  was,  however,  a  particularly  ap- 
propriate reasou  fur  calling  the  field  thtt 
of  Axiocour.  The  retreat  and  pursuit  taok 
place  through  that  village,  and  many  a  pfT- 
sonage  of  rank  and  c<>o«equence  was  killed 
in  its  lanes.  The  castle  or  chateau  has  baca 
long  demolifehed. 

**  Down  to  so  late  a  |)eriod  as  the  French 
Revolution,  the  field  was  marked  by  two 
chapels,  which  were  erected  socm  after  the 
battle,  in  one  of  which  reposed  the  bones 
of  the  English,  and  in  the  other  tliose  of 
the  French  slain  i  the  latter  out  of  all  pro- 
portion iu  jioint  of  number  to  that  of  the 
former. 

<*  During  the  time  that  we  held  our  drills 
here,  they  were  still  (»ccaaionally  turning  up 
the  iron  crow-feet,  which  the  Eoiglish  King 
strewed  in  front  of  his  little  and  suflFeriaK 
army,  for  the  pur)M>se  of  laming  the  Fivoch 
burses ;  and  some  of  these,  I  believe,  vera 
obtained  by  a  Colonel  of  the  Guards,  whose 
qtiarters  were  closer  on  tlie  trarders  of  the 
field."— ii.  43. 

It  may  appear  to  most  of  our  readers 
only  a  serious  trifle  to  talk  of  the  nui- 
sance of  rats,  hut  the  case  is  fir  dif" 
ferent  with  those  who  live  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  barns  and  farm- 
houses. The  heavy  tax  of  three  gui- 
neas a  year  is  paid  bjr  the  squires  of 
some  parishes  to  get  rid  of  them,  and 
the  rat-catchers  live  in  the  style  of 
gentlemen,  because  they  have  tlie  pen- 
sion alluded  to  from  all  the  seats  in  the 
neighbourhood.  The  intolerable  an- 
noyance which  rats  create,  when  fix- 
ing upon  a  dwelling  house  fur  their 
foundling  hospital,  is  well  known. 
Now  our  author  says,  that  if  one  only 
be  caught  in  a  trap,  have  his  ears, 
tail^  and  whiskers  cut  ofi*  close,  and

He  again  turned  off,  "his  breihrch  will 
immediately  emigrate,  ui>on  the  warn- 
ing alarm." — ii.  103. 

Here  is  a  philosophical  question, 
which  our  author  justly  says, 

<*  involves  a  more  profound  considera- 
tion than  might  at  first  sight  appetfr, — there 
is  no  chance  of  getting  rid  of  vermin  by 
killing,  unless  we  can  kill  them  to  an  tndi- 
vidualt  and  with  the  minor  hordes  this,  as 
well  as  the  other  plan,  is  impracticable  ;  but 
among  rats,  mice,  and,  it  may  be,  some 
other  animals,  there  is  an  intercommunica- 
tion, if  not  a  mutual  intelligenee ;  and  if  one 
escape,  after  rough  treatment,  he  spreads 
an  alarm,  which  the  others  partake  of." 

To  a  book  wholly  and  generally  in- 
teresting, 88  partaking  of  matters 
purely  relating  to  life  and  society,  ex- 
tracts cannot  do  justice.  Military  i0«' 
ciety,  we  repeat,  is  the  first  school  in 
the  kingdom  for  manners  and  the  ipo- 
voir  vivre  ;  and  it  thus  induces  gentle- 
men who  have  the  Brst  stake  in  the 
country  to  become  its  defenders.  A 
military  profession  dignifies  the  gen- 
tleman, and  polishes  the  peasant. 


Remarks  on  Nervous  and  Mental  Disorders^ 
with  especial  Reference  to  recent  Investiga^ 
tioiis  out  the  suljrct  of  Imanily,  By  D. 
Uwios,  A/.D.    8vo. /)/).  41.     Dnderwood. 

11'  cannot  fail,  we  think,  to  have 
been  remarked,  on  every  judicial  in- 
vcbiigation  of  a  case  of  supposed  in- 
sanity, how  much  ingenuity  has  been 
employed  to  perplex  professional  wit- 
nesses, and  how  much  ridicule  has 
been  attempted  to  be  cast  upon  their 
opinions.  In  the  celebrated  Ports- 
mouth case,  we  remember  to  have 
seen  physicians  of  the  first  reputation 
exposed  to  the  fire  of  a  cross-examina- 
tion, not  so  much  for  the  purpose  of 
eliciting  truth,  as  of  betraying  tiie  wit- 
ness into  some  contradiction  and  in- 
consistency on  the  abstract  question 
of  insanity,  when  the  question  at  is- 
sue was  simply  whether  the  unfortu- 
nate nobleman  was  or  was  not  in  a 
condition  to  manage  his  own  affairs. 

Tiie  pamphlet  of  Dr.  Uwins  is  a 
inanly  and  sensible  appeal  to  the  judg- 
ment and  understanding  of  his  readers'. 
He  vindicates  the  profession  to  which 
he  belongs  from  that  unmerited  ob- 
loquy which  forensic  eloquence,  with 
too  much  success,  contrtved  to  heap 
tipon  it,  with  reference  to  the  treat* 
nent  of  a  recent  case  of  presuro^  in* 
•aoity  (that  6f  Mr.  Davtes),  and  offer! 


some  judicious  and  well-timed  obser- 
vations on  mental  and  nervous  disor- 
ders, and  on  the  prevailing  objections* 
against  receptacles  for  paticiits  thus 
afflicted. 

We  entirely  concur  in  the  reasoning 
of  Dr.  Uwins,  that  the  separation  of 
insanity  from  other  maladies  allied  to 
it  in  nature,  and  differing  from  it  only 
in  degree,  and  placing  it  under  an  ex- 
clusive medical  superintendence,  is  a 
very  unwise  and  a  most  unphilosophi- 
cal  practice.  We  suspect  that  this 
distinction  lies  at  the  root  of  that  ge- 
neral horror  which  is  expressed  at  the 
disease  itself,  at  the  professional  per- 
son who  limits  his  practice  to  the  al- 
leviation of  it,  and  at  the  receptacle  of 
which  he  is  the  proprietor.  If  disor- 
ders of  the  mind  were  to  be  investigated 
and  treated  on  the  ordinary  principles 
of  pathology,  the  delirium  of  a  fever 
and  the  delusions  of  insanity  would  be 
regarded  without  those  invidious  dis- 
tinctions that  now  obtain,  and  the 
Middlesex  Hospital  and  Middlesex 
Asylum  would  be  looked  upon  with 
equal  eye,  as  institutions  whose  ob- 
ject was  the  alleviation  of  physical 
evil,  and  the  abatement  of  those  dis- 
eases which  flesh  is  heir  to. 

Dr.  Uwins  has  rendered  good  service 
to  his  profession  and  to  the  public  by 
this  pamphlet,  and  we  shall  be  glad  to 
see  the  more  elaborate  work  of  which 
this  is  the  forerunner. 


Anstry's  Bath  Guide.  A  new  Edition, 
Edited  hf  J.  Britton,  Esq,  Hurst, 
Chance,  and  Co. 

THIS  poem  has  been  long  and  de- 
servedly popular,  and  though  much 
of  its  wit  is  local  and  tem|)orary,  yet 
enough  remains  to  render  it  a  perma- 
nent favourite.  It  is  now  republished, 
with  an  Essay  on  the  life  and  writings 
of  Anstey,  by  Mr.  Britton,  who  has 
executed  his  task  with  much  com- 
mendable diligence  and  scrupulous 
accuracy.  There  is  no  man  who  has 
a  happier  way  of  arranging  the  mate- 
rials placed  at  his  disposal  than  Mr. 
Britton,  whether  with  reference  to 
what  he  uses  or  what  he  rejects.  It  is 
the  great  art  of  such  an  operation  to 
conceal  the  labour — art  est  ceiare  artem 
—and  this  he  possesses  in  a  very  eminent 
degree.  All  his  literary  productions  bear 
the  impress  of  good  sense  ;  the  labori- 
ous industry  bj  which  many  of  theoni

Of  Mr.  SoTiiBBY*t  specimens  of  a  New

lieve that  any  veision  in  decMyllabic  linet 
and  rhyme  la  worthy  the  poet.  Rhyme 
would  apoil  a  tragedy,  much  more  an  epic 
poem  I  and  we  do  nut  think  that  it  is  possi- 
ble to  render  even  a  fine  paraplirsse  in  blank 
verse,  characteristic  of  the  ancient  Greek 
Bard.  

Lctiefs  to  the  Right  lion.  Lord  K.  on  the 
rights  qfsuccessiuti  to  Scottish  Peerages,  The 
House  of  Lords,  liavicg,  May  3,  189-2,  re- 
solved that  no  person  shall  vote  u]>on  an 
eleetioD  of  the  Scotch  Repr(f<entative  Peers, 
unless  his  ri^ht  so  to  vote  bad  been  pre- 
viously admitted  by  their  House,  Air. 
ErUMAiM  IftCKiiART,  iu  this  elaborate 
pamphlet,  contends  that  this  resolution  im- 
plies an  assumption  unwariaoted  by  the  cus* 
toms  and  usagn  uf  Scotland,  and  at  variance 
with  the  Act  of  Union  (see  p.  27 ) ,  and  there- 
fore that  the  Resolution  is  in  se  unauthorised. 

.  The  Lessmts  in  Oljects  as  given  in  a  Pes' 
taiuxUeM  School,  at  Cheam,  Surrey,  show, 
that  children  are  taught  the  pro|>erties  and 
qualities  of  things,  as  by  an  F.ncvclouedia ; 
and  it  is  certainly  a  most  useful  plan  fur  ex- 
tending knowledge,  facilitating  description, 
and  bestowmg  a  copia  verborum. 

We  regret  that  the  Conversations  on 
^^f^^ogyt  through  being  mislaid,  has  so 
long  remained  unnoticed.  We  can  consci- 
entiously sj)eak  of  it  io  flattering  terms. 

The    Magistrate's    Plan,    stated    in    his 
pamphlet,  concerning  the  v\jurious  effects  qf 
Tythe^  has  been,  we  think,  adopted  in  sub- 
stance by  Government ;  and,  therefore,  re- 
quires no  further  notice.

Library,  and  ia  well  calculated  to  auppiyt 
io  a  convenient  form,  the  moat  important 
information  given  in  tlie  larger  Adaa.  As 
from  their  small  size  the  mape  could  coatua 
the  names  of  only  tlie  principal  places  of 
each  country,  the  less  important  are  arranged 
alphabetically  iu  an  opf«osite  page,  with  their 
latitude  and  longitude  affixed.  This  little 
work,  to  be  completed  in  twelve  oonbers, 
cannot  fail  of  success,  from  its  or^'oaliiy, 
and  the  clearness  and  beauty  of  ita  eograr-

Tlie  Enquiry  as  to  the  prmctieaMUly  and 
policy  qf  reducing  the  Duiiet  on  Malt  and 
Beer,  encreasing  those  on  BriUsh  SpirUsp  end 
equitably  adjusting  the  Land  Tax,  touches 
upon  points,  two  of  which  have  been  re- 
cently settled  in  Parliament.  Malt  liquor 
is  wster  from  Lethe,  and  ardent  aprlu  liqaal 
(lie  from  Phlegethun.  Of  course,  it  is  better 
to  drink  the  former  tlmn  the  latter;  As  to 
the  Land-tax,  the  sale  of  it  precludca,  ia 
our  opinion,  any  power  of  farther  trmimrinr 
with  it.  '^^

i>ubli»hed  with  a  view  to  tlie  applioation  to 
Parliament  fur  Emancipation.  All  that  we 
can  say  is,  that  '<  if  that  firat  covenant  had

been  no  room  for  the  second.'*

the  collection  of  Alphabets  referred  to,  was 
procured  at  Calcutta  by  Lord  Teignmouth, 
and  exhibits  about  sixty  specimens.  In

bly nothing  else  than  ciphen,  invented  for 
the  pnipose  of  secret  correspondence  be- 
tween individuals;  others  are,  prubaUly,  alto- 
);ether  ima;;inary ;  the  writer  notices  tho  ex- 
travagant opinions  entertained  by  the  learned 
of  former  times  relative  to  the  origin  of  al- 
phabetic characters ;  such  as  their  being  in- 
vented by  angels,  their  communication  to 
Adam  by  Divine  revelation,  &c.  The  Perse- 

folitan  character  is  fonnd  in  this  collection  \ 
ut  the  copyist,  or  collector,  appears  to  have 
indulged  his  ^ncy  by  combining  the  simple 
element  of  the  arrow,  or  wedge,  into  more 
eom  plicated  forms  than  we  can  suppose  to 
have  ever  been  in  actual  use.  For  the  pur-

VI. — Memoir  on  an  Ancient  Painiigg^^ 
By  jAMEa  MiLLiMOKiTy  &q.  Roval  Atio- 
c'late  R.S.L.  ' 

In  a  former  paper,  the  writer  offnedsoni 
remarks  on  a  figure,  common  upon  eoias, 
representing  an  Androcephalons  Ball,  sap- 
posed  by  modem  antiquaries  to  be  Bacchus 
Ilebon,  but  considered  by  him  as  the  per- 
sonation of  a  river.     This  opiaioa  hu  since 
been  confirmed  by  the  discovery  of  aa  inte- 
resting painting,  upon  a  fictile  vaec  feond  at 
Oirgenti,  the  ancient  Agrigentam,  nadoqbt- 
ediy  representing  the  contest  between  Her- 
cules and  the  Acheloua,  Ibr  the  poasesuoa 
of  Dcianeita,  in  which   that  river  is  reprt- 
seoted  under  the  form  of  a  bull  with  a  hu- 
man head.     Tlie  present  Memoir  is  accom- 
panied with  a  copy  of  the  painting  to  which 
it  refers :  and  the  identity  of  the  figures  is 
esuMinheJ  by  a  minute  doscrintion,  pointing 
out  their  correspondence  witii  the  circum- 
stances detailed  by  various  ancient  autliors, 
in   their   accounts  of  the    al>ove   con;est. 
Drawings  are  likewise  added  of  two  ancient 
gems,  hitlierto  unpublished,  relating  to  the 
same  subject ;  ancl  allusion  is  fiirther  made 
to  a  fictile  vase  in  the  collection  of  the  Duke 
de  Blacas,  on  which  is  represented  a  sabjed 
which  has  reference  to  that  under  considera- 
tion.-~-In  conclusion  Mr.  Milllngen  adverts 
to  various  new  arguments,  brought  forward 
in  a  recent  work  by  M.  Avelino,  in  support 
of  the  theory,  that  the  figures,  which  he 
considers  to  represent  a  nver,  is  Bacchns

OBITUARY. 


Viscount  Kilwahdbn. 

Ma^  SS.  Ill  Dublio»  %%^^  60.  tha 
Ri^hi  Hon.  John  Wolfe,  ftecond  Vit- 
couiit  Kilwardvn.  of  Kilwarden,  co.  Kil- 
dare;  Lord  ICiUarden,  Baron  of  KiltceU 
CO.  Kildare ;  and  Baron  KiUarden  of 
Newlandt,  co.  Dublin.  fUgistrar  of 
I>eedt  in  the  Court  of  Admiralty  in 
Ireland. 

His  Lordship  wai  born  Not.  11.  1769» 
the  elder  son  of  Arthur  the  firstViscouut, 
Lord  Chief  Jusiice  of  Ireland,  by  Anne, 
daughter  of  William  Buxton,  of  Ardee. 
Esq..  who  was  created  Baroness  Kil- 
warden  of  Kilteel,  in  1795  (three  years 
before  the  Judge  was  himself  raised  to 
the  peerage).  On  the  assassination  of 
his  father  by  a  body  of  insurgents  in 
Dublin,  July  83,  1B03.  the  Viscounty 
and  Barony  of  1798  devolved  upon  the 
snfaject  of  this  notice,  as  did  the  Barony 
conferred  on  liis  mother,  by  her  Lady- 
■bui's  death.  July  30.  1804. 

Lord  Kilwarden  enjoyed,  besides  the 
valuable  office  of  Registrar  of  Deeds,  a 
pension  of  800/.  per  annum,  granted  by 
recommendation  of  Parliament  ou  the 
untimely  death  of  his  regretted  father, 
vix.  I.SOO/.  per  ann.  to  the  widowed 
Viscountess  for  her  life,  with  the  re- 
niainder  of  800/.  to  her  only  son,  John. 
Viscount  Kilwarden.  and  SOO/.  per  ann. 
each  to  her  daughters  the  Hon.  Ma* 
rianne.  and  the  Hon.  Elisabeth  Wolfe, 
with  benefit  of  survivorship.  The  daugh^ 
\^t%  are  both  deceased ;  the  former, 
having  married  Hardwick  Sbute,  M.D. 
died  in  1814  ;  the  latter  in  1806.     . 

His  Lordship  was  never  married,  and 
cpnstqueutly  the  titles  are  become  ea- 
tiuct.  This  is  the  thirty-seventh  Peerage 
of  Ireland  that  has  failed  for  want  of 
male  heirs  since  the  Union  in  January. 
1801.  One  of  those  Peerages  (the  Vis- 
eounty  of  Netterviile),  has  been  sinoe 
claimed ;  but  as  it  lay  unclaimed  for  a 
year,  the  Crown  has  a  right  to  consider 
it  as  an  extinction  in  the  interim.  There 
are  thus  seven  peerages  extinct  and 
unacted  upon  by  the  Crown  since  the 
last  new  oreation.*-Tbe  male  heir  of  the 
Barry  more  family  has  claimed  the  Vis- 
county of  Buttevant  before  the  Lords, 
and  the  late  Earl's  sister  has  assumed 
the  title  of  Baroness  de  Barry,  without 
refcrenee  to  the  Lords.

The  family  of  Cavendish  of  Doveridgie

Peerages  and  Baronetafea  as  a  Junior 
brafich  of  Cavendish  of  Chatsworth  and 
Uardwiek.  from  whieb  deecends  the 
ducal  bouse  of  Devonslure;  bot  the

Bcydges's  Biographical  Peerage)  from 
Henry  Cavendish,  of  Chauwortb.  elder 
brother  to  William,  flrst  Earl  of  Devon- 
shire, who  left  a  considerable  landed 
property  to  his  natural  son.  bavinf^  no

dettineiiony  be  sent  the  irantports  for- 
ward, and  followed  the  enemy,  aetiog 
upon  hit  own  retpontibillty,  till  he  fonnd 
that  they  were  ffolng  to  the  Cape  of 
Good  Hupei  He  then  crowded  taily  and 
fave  the  requUile  information  to  Sir 
Geori^  Keiih  Elphlnitone,  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief on  that  station. 

The  peneveranre  of  Captain  Brie- 
bane,  upon  this  occasion^  was  entitled 
to  much  praise.  From  leaving  Gibral- 
tar, till  bis  arriral  at  the  Cape,  fire 
months  bad  elapsed  {  and  during  a  great 
part  of  (hat  time  be  and  bis  crew  were 
on  short  allowance  of  water  and  provi- 
sion. 

Our  ofllcer  was  present  at  the  capture 
of  the  Dutch  ships  in  Saldanha  Bay, 
Aug.  18,  1796;  and,  for  his  eatraordi* 
nary  exertion  in  conveying  the  import- 
ant intelligence  of  their  approach.  Sir 
Geo.  K.  Elphinstone  was  pleased  to  ad- 
vance him  to  post  ranks  in  the  Dor- 
trecht,  of  66  guns,  one  of  the  prizet. 

Sir  John  Jervis  also  lent  him  out  a 
Pott  Captain's  commission  for  the  Ne- 
mesis, dated  July  89,  1796,  from  which 
be  took  bit  teniority  {  and  be  had  like- 
wite  the  satisfaction  of  receiving  the 
thanks  of  the  Admiralty,  for  the  part 
which  be  bad  taken  in  the  capture. 
Captain  Aylmer,  of  the  Tremendous,  hav- 
ing been  sent  to  England  with  the  offi- 
cial account  of  this  fortunate  event, 
Rear-Admiral  Priiigle  applied  for  Capt. 
Brisbane  to  succeed  bimj  and  when 
that  ofllcer  assumed  the  chief  command 
on  the  Cape  station,  be  removed  him 
into  I'Oiseau  frigate,  and  sent  him  to 
cruise  off  the  Rio  de  la  Plata.  Whilst 
thus  employed.  Captain  Brisbane  fell  in 
with  two  large  Spanish  frigates,  one  of 
them  bearing  a  Commodore's  broad 
pendant.  A  severe  engagement  en- 
sued} but,  notwithstanding  the  dispa- 
rity of  force,  I'Oiseau  bad  the  good  for- 
tune to  beat  off  her  opponents. 

On  hii  return  to  the    Ctpe,  Capt. 
Brisbane  was    removed    into  the  Dor- 
trecbt,  and  sent  to  St.  Helena  at  con- 
voy to  some  homeward-bound  Indiamen. 
While  there,  his  fortitude  and  presence 
of  mind  were  put  to  a  severe  test.    In- 
telligence ol    the   mutiny    which  bad 
taken  place  in  the  Channel  and  North 
Sea  fleets,  •  having  reached  that  island, 
bit  crew,  inspired   by  the  tame  mii- 
chievout  spirit  which  bad  by  this  time 
diffused  ittelf  throughout  the  royal  navy, 
rose  upon  their  officers,  and  menaced 
them   with   general  destruciioo.     The 
Utmost  promptitude  and  vVfout  became 
necessary  i  and,  teiaing  ou«  olAVa  tVT^%> 
|ead«ra,  Capt.  Brlabatie  i^iA«d  a.  to^ 


about  hit  neck,  and  apparently  was  pro- 
ceeding to  immediate  execution.  His 
object,  however,  being  only  to  insure 
terror,  and  to  convince  the  crew  that  he 
wat  not  to  be  intimidated,  he  relaied 
from  the  threatened  inflictioo  of  Jottiee ; 
hut,  while  the  rope  wea  yet  round  the 
culprit's  neck,  he  tolemnly  declared  to 
him,  that,  if  he  ever  wgein  veBtured  to 
open  bit  mouth  agalnat  bia  King  er 
Country,  or  in  dItolMfdience  to  the  com- 
mands of  his  officers,  the  yerd-arei

had  calcttUled  that  no  lau  a  force  than 
ten  sail  of  the  line,  and  10,000  land 
forces,  would  be  neceesary  for  the  cap* 
ture  of  the  island,  which  had  been  thus 
subdued  bj  a  mere  handful  of  men.  The 
entire  loss  of  the  British  was  only  4  sea- 
men killed,  and  14  wounded. 

Vice-Adm.  Daeres,  in  his  official  de* 
spaiches  announcing  the  event  to  Go- 
Temment,  thus  handsomely  eapreseed 
his  approlwtion  of  the  falUuit  conduct 
of  the  captors  t^**  Whilst  I  contemplate 
the  immense  strength  of  the  harKwr  of 
Amsterdam,  and  the  superior  force  con- 
tained in  the  different  batteries  opposed 
to  the  entrance  of  the  frigates,  i  know 
not  how  suAciently  to  admire  the  de* 
cision  of  Capt.  Brisbane  in  attempting 
the  harbour,  and  the  determined  bra- 
very and  conduct  displayed  by  himself, 
the  other  three  captains,  and  all  the 
olBcers  and  men  under  his  command." 

Immediately  after  the  capture,  Capt 
Brisbane  proceeded  to  disarm  the  mi- 
litia—«  most  politic  measure,  consider- 
ing the  very  slender  state  of  the  British 
force  I  and  to  administer  to  the  inha- 
bitants of  the  island  the  oath  of  allegi- 
ance to  his  Britannic  Majesty.  The 
Dutch  Governor  having  refused  to  take 
that  oath,  Capt.  Brisbane  constituted 
himself  his  suecemor,  jnns  tempmre,  and 
assumed  the  functions  of  government 
aecordingly. 

As  a  reward  for  their  distinguished 
conduct,  King  George  III.  was  graciously 
pleased  to  present  each  of  the  captains 
engaged  in  the  conquest  of  Cura^oa, 
with  a  gold  medal  i  and  to  confer  the 
honour  of  knighthood  upon  Captain  Bris- 
bane, by  patent  dated  April  10,  1807 : 
and  in  December,  the  following  honour- 
able augmentation  to  the  armorial  en- 
signs used  by  his  family,  via.  a  chief 
embattled,  thereon  a  ship  of  war  under 
sail  between  two  castles ;  for  crests  out 
of  a  naval  crown,  an  arm  embowed, 
grasping  a  sword  i  and  from  the  hand  a 
medal  suspended  by  a  nbhonj  for  a 
motto,  CuRA^oA ;  and  for  supporters,  on 
the  deiter  side,  a  British  sailor  |  and  on 
the  sinister,  a  British  marine.  The 
House  of  Assembly  of  Jamaica  presented 
Sir  Charles  with  a  handsome  sword,  ac- 
companied by  an  appropriate  address  t 
and  after  his  return  to  England,  he  had 
the  pleasure  of  receiving  a  similar  com- 
pliment from  the  Patriotic  Fund  at 
Lloyd's. 

On  quitting  the  government  of  Cu- 
ra^oa.  Sir  Charies  Brisbane  rejoined  hia 
old  ship  the  Arethusa,  and  remained  in 
her  until  the  autumn  of  1808,  when  he 
was  appointed  to  the  Blake,  of  74  guns.
