observes that he gained but one 
single victory, that of the Boyne, ia 
his belligerent career, and James had 
more than once distinguished himself in 
younger life, to what does the contrast 
amount? James gained no victories» 
for he was not a commander-in-chief, 
butserved under others. Did William 
only once di aish himself, becouse 
he gained but one battle? Such atest 
would be fatal to Hannibal, after his 
last victory et Canoe. The battles 
which were gained against William, 
were like that which was gained by 
Pyrrhus against the Romans, as inju- 
riaus to the victor as to the beaten. 
When Henault says, 
battu sans jamais avoir éé det 
he gives him the 
Blucher, 1 may observe, was not sac- 
cessful as a general against Ni 
poleon, yet contributed greatly to his 



















overthrow. If your correspondent 
makes William’ gle victory a 
reflection upon hi is what the 


writers I have cited refrain from doing. 
La valeur (says the Abbé Gerard) 
agit avec vigeur; elle ne cede pas A In 
resistance, et continne lentreprise 
malgré les oppositions et les efforts 
contraires.” (Synonymes Frangois, 
p. 87.) 

A comparison was made between 
William and James, just after the 
battle in which they were opposed to 
each other. ‘Quelques Irlandais 
prisonniers dirent aux Anglais, non 

rence de raison; Changeons 
lemainnous livreronslabataille, 
etnous sommes stirs de yous vaincre.” 
(Millot, p. 276.) If it be true what 
in said of James, “il reprocha aux 
Irlandnis leur lacheté,”’ it shews that 
he was ungrateful as well as incompe- 
tent, for cowardice is notan [rishman’s 
defect. Mr. Gorton, in his Biographi- 
cal Dictionary, does but doubtfully 
low James the praise of valour ; 
in this action, so important to 
his interests, James kept at a distance 
from danger, and shewed 20 little 
‘spirit, that it has been thought his 
former eee of valour were either 
forced ‘anoatural, or that bis mis- 
fortunes had Lie we of all his 
pristine energy.”” ie latter opinion, 
certainly the fairer, is also probably 
the more just.

a wooden frame, standing in the church-

Englishman in a foreign land, who, if 
he trusted alone to his personal ob- 
servation, would, of necessity, visit 
many edifices which would ill repay 
him for the time consumed in reach- 
ing them, and at the same time he 
‘would return home to learn the variety 
‘of interesting objects which he had 
overlooked journey. 

The embellishments are profusely 
scattered over the pages of the work, 
and are principally from sketches by 
the author. In making the selection 
sbject has been to give ideas of the 
entire building, its form and effect, 
rather than to descend to minute par- 
ticulars. We are favoured by the 
author with the loan of four of the 
‘wood-cuts, which will not only shew 
the style of the engravings, bat will 
exhibit interiors remarkable for their 
beauty and useful as displaying the 
architecture of various periods, 























‘The first is the interior of the church 
of Ainay, at Lyons. Part of this, the 
author states, is to be considered as

square lantern above the choir. ‘The

~ however, is rather with the actual form 
jn which the Faleon and the Fetter-

stated that they were uoited or com-
