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.

Dr. JO VINSON'S Letter to the Earl of

CHESTERFIELD.

My Lord, /#* 1755.

I HAVE been lately informed, by the proprietors of the World,
tliat two papers, in which my Diftionary is recommended to
the publick^ were written by your Lordfhip. To be fo diftinguifhed
is an honour which, being very little aCcuflomed to favours from
the great, I know not well how to receive, or in what terms to ac-
knowledge. . . , , .

When, upon fomc flight encouragem^nl* I &ft viftted your
Lordlhip, I was overpowered, like ifee reft of mankind, by the en-
chantment of your addrefs, and could not forbear to wi(h, that I
might boaft myfelf // vainqueur du vainqueur de la terr$\ that 1 might
obtain that regard for which I faw the world contending. But I
ibund my atten^nce fo little eAcoiiragckl, that /neither pride, nor
modefty, would fuffer me to continue it. When I had once ad-
drefied your Lordfliip in public, I had exhaufted all the art of
pleafing, which a retired and uncourtly fcholar can poflefs. I had
done all that I could { aad no man is well ple^li^d to have his all
neglefled, be it ev^r fo little.

Seven years, my Lord, have now pafled fince 1 waited in your
outward room, or was repulfed from your door ; during which time
1 have been pufliing on my work through difficulties, of which it is
ufelefs to complain ; and have brought it at kft to the-verge of pub-
lication» without one aft of affifiance, one word of encouragement,
or one fmile of favour. Such treatment 1 did not expeft, for I ne«
ver had a patron before. •

The Shepherd in Virgil grew acquainted with |^ove^ and found
him a native of the rocks.

Is not a patron, my Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a
man ftruggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached
ground, encumbers him with help? The notice which you have
been plcafed to take of my labours, bad it been early, had been
kind ; but it has been delayed till 1 am indi£Fcrent, and cannot en-
joy it; till I am folitary, and cannot impart it ; till 1 am known,
and do not want it. I bop^ it is 1\o very cynical afperity not to
confefs obligations where no benefit has been received ; or to be
vnwiUing that the publick 4hou]dxoniider me as owing that to a
patron, which Providence has enabled me to do for myfelf.

Having carried oil my work thus far with fo little obligation to
any favourer of learning, I fliail not be difappointed, though I
fhould conclude it, if Jefs be poffiblc, with leis ; for 1 have been
long wakened from that dream of hope, in which 1 once bqaftcd
myfelf with fo much exultation.

My Lord,

Your Lordfliip's moft humble

and moft obedient fcrvant.

tail of (baring dooc that elfewhere), re*
tired, to fpcnd the ? ery liule which re-
oialna of a long life» to France, the
f<|uabb{cs of a public nature btung lefs
painful to me than thofe of private ones
between man and man. Tbe late Mr.
Samuel Sharp told me, that he never
Knew a roan at the approach of death
who had not fome foiace to offer to his
Blind at thataweful moment; and I re-
member to have read in the Bute Trials,
that a Colonel of fome fortune, who was
liangcd for a wicked theft, faid at the
gaUows, that his comfort was, that he
had jicTcr in his wholt life gone into a
church wiihout/ir//Mr^^ ill ^ii// And
•ne bf Mr. Sharp's own patients, a very
tub tUmMker^ C9 repeatedly (aid, in his
laft hours, that he died under one re-
flexion that afforded him infinite com-
fort, that Mr. Sharp could not avoid
aiking him tvbai it 'wmjf The dj^tMg
'^ahr replied, he had furnilhcd Wil-
liam (commonly called Duke 9f Cum-
berland) with an hundred and Hfty
thouland (hovels, pickaxes, and inftru-
inents of that fort, to fupply the army
MMd$r f9^UlUm*i eommami in fir^ign parts.
Now, Sir, as well as 1 can jodge, my
confolacion will be (if reflexion has not
quite left me), that, after being profe*
ctttfid, p^fffecuted, and ill-treated, for
more than a moietv of my whole life,
by bad men, I fhall have the confo^-
tion of knowing that John Howard
came twice to my houie e^ ferfonm,
and, though a ftranger to my perfon,
brought in his hand, at each ot thofe
vifits, a volume of his ** Sute of Pri-
fons," kci and, as I unfortunately
was out when he made me his fecond
viiit, he wf oif in the coyer of that vo«

lame, that he had left it as a mark of
his regard., Now, Mr. Urban, thougli
1 have been honoured with the corre-
fpondence of Princes, Prelates, and fome
of the firft and greateft men of my owi^
country, and of Ibme other nations, I
ihall coniider thofe two prefents and vi<^
Hrs from John HoWakd* the greated
honour I ever received FROM MAN<
and therefore I fend you two guinea^
to add my mite towards erecting the
monument to the memory of fo GOof

A MAH. '

The ingenioui, learned, and virtuouf
lUfir. Woodhull, of Thenford, in North-
kmptonOiire, bi^s done Ine.the honour
to place thofe two books in his. noble ^•

could have induced me to fell them

ITS EXCELLENT CONSTITUTION.

Mr. Uhba'w, Julj ao.

BEING in London, and feeing in
" The Tim*s" of jefterday the
mo(k atrocious calumny that was ever
laid before the publick, 1 feel it my
duty immediately to cootradi£t it in the
moft pointed terms. 1 do therefore de-
clare, that the narrative of the proceed-
ings of the Birmingham ConAitutional
Dinner is materiallv untrue; and that
the account given of the /rjl i^ajl is a
moft flagrant falOioodt ic was, "The
King and Conftitution.'*

The mettiog broke- up without the
leatl riot or dill urbance. — That the pub-
lick may judge whether the proceedings
of the day^ and the toafts, were or were
not rcprehennblej the fuUowin'g true
aarratrrc i> now produced, the autheri*
Rcuy and tiuth of which I will vouch
lor.

The proceedings of the day were pre-
ceded by an idvertifement in the Bir*
miogham Chronicle. (See it p 674).

Jn the morning, however, after this
Wiis pubiidiedy many rumours of the
probability of a riot were brought to the
ihcnds of the oiccting^ and, as there

was too much reafdn to think that means
had been ufed to promote one, thty de*
termined to pollpone the intended din*
ner, and accordingly agreed to put it
off, and prepaied a hand-bill for that
purpofe. (See this alfo in p. 675).

This was fent to the printer; but, be«
fore he had compofed it, Mr. Dadley,
the maOer of the hotel, amended, la
confe^oence of having the dinner coub*
rermanded, and reprefentcd, that he was
fure there was no danger of any (umulty
and recommended that the dinner mi^hc
be had as was intended ; only piopofini;,
that the gentlemen (houtd t^ke care to
break-up early, and men all danger
woi^ld be avoided. This meafure wat
then adopted, nnd oiders given to rhe
printer to fupprefii the hand -bill. Ac*
cordingiy, riiere uas a meeting of 8f
gentlemen, inhabitants nf the town and
neighbourhood, ar iht Great Room ia

father's piAUre, does not prove that flie
mieht; not h^ive been Hill more ftruck
wicD the likenefs of the miniature. One
is at a lofs to know upon what ground, it
is alTumed (by a perlon who never faw
the pidure or the print), that, if Fai-
thorne's be like, the miniature is not
like; and ftill lefs can it be conceived
why he thinks that " the likenefs in Sir

i[o(hua's pi6iure cannot be a ftriking
ikenefs of Milton, whatever it may be
of Selden." How came Selden into his
ihead ? Here fome fufpicion arifes that he
lias feen the pi^ure and the print, a cir-
cumftance which he choofes to conceal,
as the comment by Sir Jofliua on the
print wou'd have prevented the parade of
his criticifm.

The opinion •f Sir Joihua Reyt^olds,
in matters relating to his own^rofefllon,
certainly ought CO have fome weight. He
is not likely to be Wanting in that ikill to
which every other artiil pretends, name-
ly, to form fome Judgement of the like-
nefs of a piAure without knowing the
original. It appears that Sir Tolhua told
Warton, that he was perfeflly fure that
**the pi^ure in hi« polTedion was a ftrik-
ing likenefs, and that an idea of Milton's
countenance cannot be got from any of
the other pi£kuref." Without being an
artift, it is eafily perceived that the pic-
ture of Faithorne doc^ not poffefs that in-
dividualicy of countenance which is in
the miniature.

There is fomethii^ very perverfe in be*
lieviDg that an ordinary, common- place
portrait, paioted by an engraver for the
purpofe of making a piint from it, (hould
be preterred, or be nip poled to be moie
like, than the beft pi£iurc ot the firft mi-
niature painter, perhaps, that ever lived.
Cooper polIt;lTcd all the coneftnefs, pre-
ciiion, and alt the attention to peculia-
rity of ezprelRon, which we admire in
Vandykd; whereas Faithorne imitated,
as well as he couKI, the lax and vicious
manner then introduced by Sir Peter
Lely, who, though upon the whole an
Ingenious artift, ftands in the firft rank
of what the painters call m^umrifis. We
may add, in regard to Faithorne, that,
however he might be diflinguiflied among
his comemporaiies, and fiiice by the cu-
rious in old prints, his merit as an en-
graver (and rriuch lefs as a painter),
were he now living, would not raife him
above the rank of the common herd of
artifls. It docs not appear tiiat Deborah
Milton, when Faithorne's pidlure was
ihevvn to her, faid anv thing to conBrm
US in the opinion of its being lo cx«

tremely like : ihe exclaimed, <' O, Lord !
that is the picture of my father." She
probably had feen the piaure before, and
It is even probable that ihe was prefent
when it was painted i and, when (he faw
it again, (he immediately recognized it,
as £e would have done her father's watch,
buckles, or any other appendage to his
perfon.

Theire is no doubt but that Milton fat
to Faithorne for that crayon pi^ure ; the
diftinguiihing features are the fame as in
the miniature ; the fame large eyelid, the
fame ihaped nofe and mouth, and the
fame long line which reaches from the
noftril to below the corners of the mouth,
and^the fame he-ad of hair ; but if the eU
fe£^ and exprellion of the whole together
ihould be, as in fa6^ it is, different in
the two pt6iures, it cannot, 1 Ihould
think, b^e difficult for us to* determine oil
which fide our faith ought to incline,
even though neither poftciTed any ftrong
marks of identity.

All the objections that have been made
by your correfpondent, I hope, have
been anfwered, and fome, perhaps, which
the reader willthink weie fcarcely worthy
of an anfwer. There is no occaiion to
take notice of objections which arc made
in order to be confuted, namely, the
pains the Critick takes to obviate a fup-
pofition which nobody ever fuppofcd,
that the writer of the memorandiun on
the bacb might, by miftake, write btr
death inftead of bii death. This is to
raife conjiCtures in order to triumph in
their confutation 1

I cannot conclude without making one gined, could not be fo great as to prevent
obfcrvatioo. Before a writer indulges the thunder from being heard. . I hive

but knows that Deborah Milton lived till
1717, as that circumftance was made no-
torious to the world from Richardfon's
Life of Milton, and from the benefit play
which was given to Deborah's daughter
in the year 175a. I believe Richardfon

him (elf in the fclf-congratulation of vie*
tory, or laughing at the flip which he
fancies others have made, he ihould be
furc of the fteadinefs of his own footing.

Your correfpondent reprehends Tom
'Warton for his inaccuracy in hiAorical
points; he blames the aggravated immo*
rality of the feller of the pi^urc " in im-
pofing on fo fair and worthy a man as
Sir Jofliua Reynolds;" treating him as a
bo9 t§mmef and the who!e *'as a pa'pa-
hle fif^ion, drawn up by fome pcrion ig-
norant of hiftory, who furniftied out a
tale with very fcanty materials." Whe-
ther this was the cafe, the reader will, I
imagine, not find it very difficult to de-
termine, R.J.

P. S. The progrefs of the pi£^ure
feems to be this^— Milton dving infol-
vent, and Deborah Milton of courfe in
great indigence, it is very improbable
that flie would keep to herfelf a picture
of fuch value; it was therefore fold, as
we fuppofe, to the author of the memo-
randum ; and the account there given is
probably fuch as he received from the
feller of the picture, who, in order to
raife iu value, boafts how many great

ever underftood, from the bcft authority^
that lightning proceeded from (ulphure*
ous and nitrous particles in the air, drawn
up from the earth by the rays of the fun*
and rarified to a great degree of heatf
and that lightning was the cJFefl of the
burftingor eaplofion of a cloud, and re-
verberated throughout the atmofphere.
How then can one happen without the
other ? or is it that we are deceived by
the diflance of this fublime fpe^acle.the

About twenty years ago, I became

in the county of Glamorgan; he bsul
been for about thirty years abftnt fitua
his native country, and, during a great
part of that time, an Indian iraderfrMn
Philadelphia. Being once with fotoe
tricnds in his company, asid the Weflh
language happening to be the fbbjcd oi
conver&tion, he told us, that theiewat
in North America a tribe of Welih In*
dians, who fpoke the language with
mirch greater purity than we Ipeak it in
Wales. IndiiJ^ing my natural inqui-
fitive lurn) tid, I delired him to fa*

of renewing a bufinefs, which once had
well nigh proved the ruin of this coun*
try. At all events,' ihcy thought it nc-
celTary to pay attention to the pcejudice^
of the people, and with this view re-
quired that the Roman Catholicka
Ihould fwearlo the terms of the Protef-
tation which fo many of them had fign«
cd. Other claufes were added or altered,
ftill more calculated to embroil or per-
plex a people already divided. Ac*
cord'Hgly, the controverfial civil war
amongft them became every day more
violent! the heads of the Laity bcingr
for the mod part on one (ide, and the
heads of the Clergy for the moll part oa
the other. It would be an endiefs taik
to enter into the particulars of this dif*

Duke, in one of the higheft departments
of the State, declared, at the fecond ,
reading of the bill in the Houfe of Peers,
that, having fecn the publications oa

the better of the argument.

The grand error of th,c committee
was, in their having negotiated and
agreed with Minidry to a rorm of oatb,
comprehending a number of theological
queftions, without the confent or parti-
cipation of their head clergy. Having
agreed, they conceived tbemfelves q-
bliged to proceed ; and theiefore, at th«
beginning of Maich, brought forward
their bill for the ezclulive benefit of

IN p. 43 7f Philanthropos quotes a pro«
■ phecy, f elitiD£ to the ten tribes of
Ifraeli out of the kcond book of Bfdras :
he it not ^uniferfally acknowledged as a
prophet, being one of the apocryphal
books i but he boldly claims the title,
and propheiies very freely. 1 think
Pbilantbropot fuppofes the Ifraclites to
have travelled much funhcr than is ne-
ceflary; for there are many parts of
Tariary where they may be ^ concealed
from our knowledge ; and fome of the
Tartars have claimed to be defcended
from themw Or if, as Efdras fays, they
leruraed over the Euphrates, they may
now lie hidden in Arabia or Africa.
Wherever they are, I imagine their re-
treat will not be known till they are
about returning; for Ifaiah Teems to

There is another prophecy of the fe-
cond of Efdras, in chap. xi. and xii.
where he reprefents the Romyn empire
as a flying eagle. It is defcribed to

diftinguiflied from the other two heads,
which *'JbmU be JImn nviib ibc fnmr£*

I WAS reading your entertaining Mif*
cellany for May; when a friend cama
in, and ukiog it up, he accidentally
turned up that part in which the Ab*
firaA of the Premiums offered by the
Society inllituted at London for the En*
couragemcot of Arts, Manufa&ures,
and Commerce, is inferted. He fur-
prized roe by faying, << that it is the
moft illiberal Society in Great Brit;i in!**
I requeued he would explain himfelf ;
which he did, to the follnwicg effe£l :

" Sonne tinne ago I faw,^ in a co%'er of a
Munthlf Review, a fimilar Abftnuft to the
one here; and it occurring to me that I
might oflfbr myfelf a candidate to this So-
ciety, 1 fent up a letter, bating a faA, whicb
I had attefted by feveral juftices of the peace |
and, in return, received ^ very polite anfwer
from their Secret.iry ; the purport of whicti
was, thanks fri>m the Society for my com-
munication, and that k was referred to their
Committee. Some months afterwards, when
writing to a currefpondent in London, 1 aflc*
ed the fote of my paper ; when he informed
me, that in p. 348 of the VUltli volume of
the Tranfa^ions of the Society, I fiiould find
a law, tkit all the premiums of this Society
are defigned for England, Wales, and Ber-
wick upon Tweed ; fo, as 1 dwelled a few
miles North of the Tweed, 1 was excluded.*'

My friend farther added, that he
thought this regulation ought to have
been made public, at Uafi in the Ab»
fira£ts circulated in Scotland.

I could not help, Mr. Urban, feeing
the propriety of my friend's remarks
and hope the Society, in their future
Abdracts, will publilh that claufe ex-
cluding Scotland from the benefit of
their pubhc-fpirited fyfiem. A. B. C*

abandon a houfc, witliout any eanfe

in two houfes in my oei^rhboai hood, ia

from the following caufes: firft, Mr*

TO THE MAN OF LETTERS.

IN pcrufing books which have palTcd
throueh fcveral editions, I frequently
meet with the tides of authors, ot llatci-
mcn, blihops, and other men eminent for
their, rank or underflanding, together
with alluAons to events then recent \ of
all which, as a lover of biography and
anecdote, I want to afcertain the true
name and date. Again, I have in my
time bought up feveral books immedi*
atelv on their publication j and before I
couid give them a haily perufal, ano-
ther editbn has ifiued from the prcfs,
with numerous alterations or additions,
fo ioterfperfed in different parts of the
work, that, without the trouble and ex-
pence of buying the laft, to compare
throughout with the preceding edition, I
cannot know whether I am in polTcflioo
of the a^ual opinions of the author.
Many readers muft have experienced
thefe inconveniences. Might not the
publiihers obviate the former, if they
iioderftood it to be the concurrent wiih
of writers and readers, that the date of
every preceding edition were printed in
ibme confpicuous part of the book, as,
for example. Where the imprimatur is,
or ufed to be, exhibited? Some book-
Itllers may, perhaps, on certain occa-
/ions, be averfe to this obvious method

real life. The reverfe is indeed extraor^
dioary. 1 would fain unite thefe two
chara£lcrs> and, having lain-in a fuo^
of fcholaftic lore, I fliould like to fet ic
off by the acquifition of a little icny as •
preliminary (\ep to which, I ibou'd be
glad to be informed how I may diftin«
guilh the feveral colours which, in their
feveral feafon^, are worn by the fair and
falhionable^ My taylor is i>o( always at

of them with any degree of accuracy. X
have fancied, that as colours are iimpitt

thefe meant we ihould not only appre*
hend the colour itfelf j but fuch of us ft
have not travelled may learn, by refer-

A^H iz.

H£ARD coun(el on behalf of the
petidon of Sir John Sinclair^ claim-
ing the title of Earl of Caithncfs*

In the Commons, the fame day, Mr*
Grey rofe to make his promifcd motion
relative to the {(ate of the nation. He
contended, chat the principles on which
war would be maintained were only thofe
which originated in the principle of fclf-
defence. He reprobated the latitude given
to the conftru6tion of defenfive treaties ;
and averted, that if fuch latttu<ie was
given, the country might be eternally in-
volved in wars, termed wars of expedi-
ency, but which might be, in reality, un-
juft wars, and wars ruinous to the coun-
try. He truiled, the Houfe were not to
be .^old, that tlie armament was for thn
fapport«of Pruilia. He agreed in the
policy of maintaining the balance of
power in Europe, but ridiculed as chi-
merical the hunting out of an enemy to
contend for a port in the Black Sea, for
the purpofe of adding taxes to the coun^
try. He juOiBcd the claims of RuHia
upon Oczakow and the Niefter, for her
boundary, as calculated alone for the
purpofe of defending her pofife (lions from
attack. He contended, that the war was
neither politic nor juft; and condemned,
M unconflitutional, the implicit confi-
dence caHed for by MiniOers ; and con-
cluded by moving a ilring of motions;
the fkft of which was, " That it was at
all times, and particolarly under the pre-
ient cireumOanees, the intereft of this
country to prtferVe peace."

Major MMtland Seconded the motion.
He felt him/eif imprciled with the peri-
ions (ituation of this country, and con-

tended that no good reafon for . the pro-
ceeding had been, or could be, ad-
vanced.

Lord Belgrgve contend bd, that from
the general character of his M»je(ly'f
Minifter?, and from the experience the
Houfe had had of their concu^l, ckey
highly merited the confidence necefTary
upon the preicnt occafion ; to prove
which aiTertion, his Lordfhip ihonly
flared the condo^V of his MajcflyN Mi-'
nitUrs in the affairs of Holland and
Spain j and conclutied. by moving the
previous <}ue{lion.

Mr. Pybus was flrenuous in fupport '
of the cundu^ of Adminif^ration ; af-
ferted the policy of the country in check-
ing the progTcfi of the Rutiian arms, in-
dependent of the treaty with PruHiaf and
fcconded the previous quc^bon.

A debate then began, which continued
till two in the morning, when the Houfe

The order of the day being read, for
the Houfc going into a Committee upon
the Qocbec bill, mr. Hohart in the chair.

Air. Burke delivered his prom Ted
opinion upon the bill then before the
Committee. Thcv were about to exer-
cife the higheR poliiblcaft of fovercign-
ty,in the formation of a Conftitution for
the government of a confidcrable body
of men : in doing of which they ought
to be well alTurco of their competence ;
and it was ncccflfary ro enquire where
the right origioatcd ih^^t we claimed to
le^ifl^ic for Canada. If ihc-right of le-
gination, and of forming governments,
was to be guided in this country upon
the foundation of the rights of men, it
would be an abfolute ufurpation. There
was, however, another ground of right
to form a government, namely, the
Jaws of nations. Having obtained Ca-
nada by conqucft, we had a right by the
laws of nations to form a government
for her, founded on jullice, equity, and
for the happinefs of the people. Wc
had the cellion of the former Ibvercign,
and the laws of prefcription ; and, on
thofe grounds, he was conviiiced we
had a right to make laws for Canada.
Having eflabUlhcd that right, it would
be readily admitted, that we were bound
to give them the bcft gorernment they
were capable of receiving, for the pro-
motion of their internal happinefs, and
the external relation they had to this
country. In doing this, fome gentle*
nien might conceive it improper and
unncccflUry to refort to the experience
of antiquity, but would give the prefe*
rence or refort to the happinefs of Paris,
to the proceedings of London clubs,
•■d to the Paris lanterns for illumina-
tion. Neither would he refort to anti-
quity ; but would take, as the examples
00 which he Ihould argue the Conftitu-
tion to be given to Canada, the example
of the American, the French, and the
Bririih ConHitutious. The Conllitution
of America vvas tit to be confidered, on
account of its being in the neighbour-
hood of Canada; and as wc weic bound
by policy to provide a ConRituiion that
would give the Canadians no reafon ro
envy ihcit neighbours. The American
Coniiituticn was tnade as aj;rceable a&

the circuroftancet would admit to tho
Britiflt— the difference betwceo their
Revolution and that of France would
bear no coinparifo»( the Americans had
what was eflentially necelTary for fieo*
dom, they had the phlegm of the good*
temper of EngliihmeB— they were fitted
for republicans by a republican educa<«
tion in the form of their government^
maintained by a vigilant and benc^cot
monarch. Their Revolution was not
brought about by bafe and degenerate
crimes; nor did they overturn a govern*
ment for the purpofes of anarchy^ but
they raifed a republick as nearly repre-
fenting the Britiih Government as it
wai ppfliblc— they did not run into the
abfurdity of France, and, by feizing oa
the rights of men, declare that the aa-
lion was to govern the nation, and
Prince Pretty man to govern Piiace
Prettvroan. There were in Canada ma*
ny ot the antient inhabitants ; would it
be proper to give them the French Con-
(litution ? In his opinion, there was not
a iingLe ciicumftance that recommended
the adoption of any part of it, for the
whole of it was abominably bad— -the
production of folly, mot wifdom'^^f
vice, not virtue; it contained nothing
but extremes, as di(Unt from each other
as the Poles— the parts were in eternal
oppofition to each other— it was founded
on what was termed the rights of men |
but, to his convi(Slion^ it was founded
in the wrongs of men, and he then held
in his hand an example of iu effe^ oa
the French colonies-*Domingo» Gua«
daloupe, and the other French iflaodst
were rich, happy, ai\d growing m

they heard of the new do£trme of the
rights of mep ; but thefe rights had no
fooner arrived at the Iflands than any
fpe£lator would have imagined that
Pandora's box had been opened, and
that Hell had yawned out difcord, mur-
der, and every mifchief, for anarchy,

The Guards were then prelented to the

with particular attention, and addrelfed by
the Prefideot in a (bort but elegant fpcech ;
which addrefs was heard with applaufe.

The Affembly then determined, that tliere
was no longer any ncccflity of extraordinary
fittings, and that the ordinary fittii^gs (hould
be ci«unued as ufiial.

y»»e 27. Tlie Prejident informed the Af-
fembly, that he had received an infinite num-
ber of Addreffes from Adminiflrative Bodies,
from National Guilds, and from Citizens ;
and the Alfembly referred the reading of
them to an extraordinary fitting, to be ap-
pointed for that purpofe.

The Aflembly ordered the Diplomatic
Committee lb draw up a proclamation, au-
thorifmg foreigne s to quit the kingdom
without any ohftruAisn.

A letter fi'om a citizen of Paris was read,
engaging to fumith t,ioo Hires towards
paying the National Guards, to begin from
the day on whicti the external enemies ibouKI
be fo rafh as to attack the empire of the
French.

The following letter from M. D'Eftaign
was read:

tranfadtions of the 2 1 ft of June, as to the o^^
currences connected with them, whether of

anfwered, that he did not underdand fub*

deliver in a declaration, conformably to t|)e
requifuion that had beeh made to him by the
National Affembly. We then took his de*
claration, to every page of which he had fee
his fignature. We went afterwards to. thtf
apartments of th^ Queen, whom wefoiuid^
with Madame Elizabeth, preparing to fit
down to table ; but the latter informing its'
that her Majefty could not then receive us^
becaufe fhe was going to the bath, we ^e*
fired her to appoint another hour ; and fhe
fixed upon eleven this morning. Of courfe
we retired ; but, returning at the time pre«
fcribed, we were introduced intb the bed-
chamber, where the Queen was without any
one attendant whatever. We then read to
her the decree of the National Affembly,
fubjoining to it the fame obfervation which
we had made to the King. She dieted to
us her declaration; and, having afterwards
heard it read over, put her fignature to ever/
page of it."

«es, tosethcr with tht feveral Dodlors and
Ofliccrs, aU in their proper habits, (Dr«.
Ayrlon ana Dapnis wearing their Comme-
inoration medals,) entered the Theatre, to
celebrate Lord Crewe's Commemoration of
Founders and Bene&dtors to the Univcrfity.
The lionorary degree of Dodlor in Civil Law
was conferred on that venerable old mart, in
his 87th year, the Rev. Samuel Pegge,
A.M. F.S.A. author of various publications
in the line of Englifli antiquities \ and the
honorary degree of Do^or in Mnfick was
alfo ' voluntarily and liberally conferred on
Jofeph Haydn, efq.

The Commemoration Speech on this oc-
casion was fpoken by the Rev. Dr. Holmes,
Poetry Profeflbr ; and being a continuation
of the plan begun by Dr. Crewe, of comme-
morating the Benefadlors in fucceffion, turn-
ed principally on the liberality of Dr. Rad-
cliffe, and the obligations the Univerfity and
the pn»frffion of Phyfick had to him.

The Prize Productions were this morning
recited at the Theatre, which was immenfely
crowded on the occafion. Some elegant Latin
vei fes, the fubjcit, Ihrtut ^ngtsc^s, were re-
cited by Mr. Cooper, of Queen's Coll. This
was received u ith much applaufe : and, after
fome very charming drains hail been played
|>y the band, Mr. Richards, of Oriel, deli-
vered his Engli^ poem on the newly- pro-
pofed fubje^ of yftorUirtJ Bntons, After
having painted in mou glowing and ani-
mated C(»lours the chara^ers of ihe Abori-
ginal Britons, and traced the chara6leriiticks
of liberty in the favage flate of this ifland,
and its cxtin^lion in the earliell flages of
our Monarchy, the Poet greeted with joy
its revival at the prdenl period j of which
the following eltgant lines towards its con-
dufion are a defcription :

** But now reviv'd (he beads a purer caufe,
Refin'd by Science, form'd by gen'rons laws :
High hangs her helmet in the banner'd hall,
Kor founds her clarion, but ac Honour's call.
>Iow walks the land with olive chaplett

crown'd.
Exalting worth, and beaming fafety round :
With fecrcl joy and confciouspride admires
The patriot fpirit which herfelf infpires :
Sees ban%ni(wailes with unknown fruitage

bloom I
Sees Labour bending patient o'er the loom;
Seef Science rove thro' Acatlemic bowers ;
And peoj^led cities lift their fpiral towers.
Trade fuclls her fails whcre-ever Oce:^n

rolls,
Glows at the Line, and freezes at the Poles :
Whde thrc' unwater'd plains, and wond'ring

meads,
Waves, not its own, Ih' obedient river leads."
This jKjem, having been highly and dc-
Icrvedly applauded, was fuc^eeded by the
Englifh Eilhy of Mr. Bunows, (fon of the
late Rev. Mr. B. of Hadley, MidtUefex, rec-
tor of St. Clement Dimes,} « On National

Prejudices, chetr good and bad Effe^s." Itf
was well written, and VEOnth admired.

In the evening, the third and lall Grand
Mufical Feltival attracted a crowded and ele-
gant audience to the Theatlv. Tliey wero
in excellent humour ; and when Haydn ap-
peared, and, grateful for the applaufe ho
received, feizeii hold of, and difplayed, the
gown he wore as a mark of the honour that
had in the moiTring been conferred on him^
the filent emphafis with which he thus ex-
prelTed his feelings met with an unanimous
and loud clapping. Dr. Hayes was Ukewife
gretted with the fame teflimony of the £»«
tisfadi(ni of the audience ; and the feveral
muficians, infpired with the encouragement
they obtained, performed with double fpint.
The aft opened with the overture from
Efther. Kelly then fung, « Why does tlio
God of Ifrael fleep I" The duel of « Th©
Lord is a Man of War," was next given
by Matthews and Bellamy. Storace fol-
lowed them with a beautiful cantata of
Haydn, but not very fuccefsfuOy. 1 he re-
cit.'^tive, " Search round the world, kc" and
the choru"?, " May no rafh intrudcr,"^ by
Kelly, finilhed the adl. A new concerCante
of Pleyel began the fecond a6l. This was
delightfully performed. Signora Storace :mil
David were particularly fuccefsful ; the hrft
of whom gave ** The Prince unable to con-
ceal his pain," with a paflion and luxuriance
of expreflion that provoked an enthufiaftic
exclamation of " Encore 1" at lead from all
the j9ung gownfmen. Cramer followed
with a concerto on the viulin, with fur-
prifmg ability., " Comfoit ye my people,"
was next lung by David with cxpreliion.
The aft cn«'ed with the chorus, «* And the
glory, &c." After an Italian air by Kelly,
the third aft began with a very fine overture
of Haydn, admirably performed. Storace
next gave, ** With lowly foit,'» from ** No
Song, No Supper," in a ftyle lb pathetic and
firaple, as to obtain an encore in that like-
wife. David delivered the air, ** Penza che
in campo armato," with wonderful execution
and feeling. The whole concluded with the
Coronati(Mi Anthem ; and the Company,
which amounted to about two Choufand, and
which (having been compofed in a great
mcafure of moft eleg.intly drefled ladies)
ma«le a moft fplendid appearance, retired
higidy pleafed with the attention and care
fhewn in the conduft of this bufinefs by Dr.
Hayes, who, it is thought, has gained for
himfelf about five hundred pounds.

Mrs. Crouch was to have been of the
party, but was feized on her journey at Hen-
ley with a putrid fore throat, frotn which,
by the attention ef Dr. Wall^ ftie was at.
Itngth happily relieved.

you prevaricate : for it is too plain that your

An unfortunate rtnfmtrt took place this
morning u|)on Blacklieath, between Mr.
Graham, an eminent Special Pleader, of the
Temple, aiul Mr. Julius, a pupil in the oiffioo
of MelL Gradiams, Attomies, of Lincoln V
Inn, who are brothers of the former*

The parties had dined together, at th«
Houfe of Mr. Black, the furveyor, upon £p*
ping Foreft, on Sur^ay j and, after dinner,
having drunk freely, the latter expraffinf;
feme firee opinions concerning religion, much
abrupt language pafled betweenthero. They
were reconciled, however, on that day, and
Jietumed to town in the fame carriage.

On Monday they met iigain, after dioner^
at the chamber* of Mr. Graham, Lincoln's-
Inn, the brother of the deceafed, where the
difppte was imforuinately renewed, though
apparently without malignity. No diallenge
was given that night; but in the enfuing
morning the deceafed called upon Mr. J.e*
lius for an apology for fiime expreflioiist
which being refufed,tl)ey went out together,
Mr. Graham attended by Mr. Ellis, and Mrw
Julius by Mr. Maxwell.

A pupil of an eminent furgeon^accompa-
nied them to Blackheach, where Mr. Gra*

r. 494. The Baron Hogfieian was defccn<}cd
kotn ^ fVencAmuin, whit^ in the beginning ttf
^ nrefent century,* was one of the greateft
liirtxei's in Enro|>e. During the war for the
Spanith fwcceflion he was fiTcqucnily em-
^oyed by tlic French Mhiiftry in remitting
lumls intended fur the mainteoance of the
FiWKh ritmies, either in Spain, Italy, Ger-
many, or Flandci-s. <>n a certain occafion,
cliiring the rooft difficult period of ihnt war,
the Fi'cnch mitiifter, M. de Ponlclianiainj^
being utterly at a lofs how to ni wide, with-
out, delay, for a very confjuerable fum of
im>ney,'fent for Huguetan, ^fned him to
laife the money upon his own credit ; at the
laitec lime producing hills of exchange for
kirn to fign ; and at length infilled upon the
figning of llie bills in fuch a nianncr that
nugtietaiv became pofitively apprehenfive
Icir his life, an^, Ver>' likely, with good rea-
ftm: fo inAt' he figncd all the papers that
were offered to htm. As fodn as he had re-
amed to his Ofvn houfe, . he immeiliately,
and by the poft of the fame day, wrote to all
Ihofc nen'ons upon whom the bills were
S%wt\t *for the purpofe of cautioning them
againft p:iying ihofe bills, which, he faid,l)ad
been obtained from him by Force; and as
foon as he h;ul feni his letters, he took poft,
and fled to Holland. The bilU were accord-
incly reCufied to be pnidj and the French
Mini^ler rcfolved to he revenccd for the fe-
Vfere difnppointmenl he had experienced on
Aat occahon. He fcnt an cmilfary to Hol-
mdy who w^ to endeavour to feize u|x)n
lugueian's pcKon, and bring him alive to
'ranee. The emiflary made enquiry, and
Iftund out that Huguetan had taken (heUer
in a village or froall town in North Holland.
Herepaired to the place, and, by ufing fuch
act&^as-aMCooMnon^ pra^led by thofe vil-
Liins who accept commilhons of this kind,
he got acquainted with Huguetan; more-
Qver, he prevailed upon liim to lay afide his
diftrjft, or fufpicions. At length a favour-
able opjwriunity oflfercd for the accomplifh-
irent of the fcl^eme. The emiflai7, afridej
by a'fcrvant he had brouglu along with him,
fittund mcms to fcize u|wa Huguetan. They
' gagged him, and laid him in fetters; and,
pi^ng him in a poll-chaife, immediately fet
out for France. They purfucd their journey
without meeting wlih any impe*Hment, ira-
Telling ni^ht and d««y, and avoided flopping
any where. 1 hey were already about to pafs
the laft Flemifh barrier, or gate. At this

fate a cuHoro-liouic t)fhcer was flationed.
fcie the emilT .1 y was obliged u> alight from
the chatfe, in oix'cr to anfvyerf«)me quellions
in The nfRce. Th»; d'7,rcti of caution with
which he both upcticd .md flrut the dijor of
the thaife ra'ifed tl.e cunofily of the foldicr

camp to Capt. Watfon, of the Dragon, in the
engagement of M.ithews and LQAock, and
received fix)m his commander many marks
of approbation. From the Dragon he went
to the Namur, of 74 gun*;, which (hip bore
a part in the memorable capture of the
French fquadron, and their £ai^ Indui con-
voy, by Lord Anfon, May 3, 1747. In Oc-
tober following, in tlie fame (hip, he accom-
panied Admiral Bofcawen to the Eaft In-
dies. This (hip, with three others, was
wrecked on the Coromandel coaft, in April,
1749 J **"^ **"^ young hero, referved by Pro-
vidence for more brilliant fervices, was one
out of 13 faved from the crew of the Namur.
Immediately after this difaftcr, he was pro-
moted to be lieutenant of the S> ren, in uhich
Ihip he came home. In 1754 he failed again
for the £aft Indies, as commander of the
Hardwicke Indiaman, in which he was prc-
fent at the attack of the Geriab under Sir
Charles Watfon. But war breaking out be-
tween France and Great Britaui, in 1 758, he
accompanied Mr. Ive«y who pul>li(hed the
hillory of the voyage, over land, to offisr his
fervice in the Ime of his profeHion. Nov. 20,
1759, he was (irft lieutenant of tlio Mars, in
the victory obtained by Sir E. Hawke over
Conflans. In June, 176I) he was promoted
to the rank of mafter and eommander. In
February, 1761, he failed, as adding captain
of the Alarm fiigaie, to the We(t liulies, and
was at the taking of Martinico. Slrartly af-
ter this, he took an armed (loop of 1 8 guns,
and another of 12 guns. June 3, on his paf-
iage with the Britilh fleet, deftin^d for Ha-
vatuiah, by the fuperior failing of the Alarm
became up with, anj,after an hour'i cng.igc-

During the arduous fervice at the reduAion
of the Havannah, Capt. Alms was entrufted,
by the commander in ctiief, on many im-
portant occ;ifionsj but it remains one of
thofe unacconntibh negle<f\s m the fortune
of many defcrvii g officers, that he was not
appointed a polt- captain till 1765; from
which timp, till September, 1780, C.pl. A«
enjoyed, with his family at Chichcrter, every
p'.eafure from domeftic ?.ttachment, till ha
was appointed to the Monmouth, of 64 guns,
in which (hip he faded under Commodore
Jolinftone for the Eaft Indies. The fpirited
manner in which he fought the Monmouth,
in Port Praya Bay, was an introdudion to
what Monf. Sulfrein afterwards experienced
from him in the ob(tinate engagements be*
tween the two fltets in India. The Ibips
which were deilined for Madras proceeded^
under his command, to jo'm Sir Edward
Hughe- ; and, after braving uncommon liard-
(hips from the unfavourable feafon, it wat
accompli(hed on the 1 5th of February. The
active and rcfolute fpirit of t!ie French Ad«
miral is yet recent in the mind of every
one. The moft confpicuous (hare which
CajL Alms had in any action was on the
memorable 12 th of April. He was this day
fecond to Sir Edward Hughes. Sulfrein bore
down with an intention, it was thought, to
board the Britifh Admir.d. Capt. Alms, per-
ceiving this, luHed up the Monmouth, raked
his enemy, and fruftrated his maocsuvre.
Capt. Alms had now to fuAain a ten ihle Are
from Suffrein and his two feconds, which
continued until the Monmouth s main and
mizcn mafts fell overboard. SuiTi-ein, whofe
(hip had fuftained protligious damage, per-
ceiving the ftiuatiun of his anta^onilt, toolc
French leave, while the (battered Monmouth
continued her fire as long as her (hot could
reach him. On the (hioke clearing away
as the firing ceafed, Capt. Alms found him-
lelf far to windward, fct his fore- fail, whfch
WaS all he lia(1,and boldly fired at the French
line as he paHed to join the Britilh fieet. In
this dreadful conflict with llic enemy, the
Monmouth's colours, being twice (hot away^
were nailed to the ftump of the mizen malt,
never to be (truck. Seven guns were dif-
mounted, 45 men killed, and 102 wounded.
The Captain himftlf had two wounds in hit
fece from fplinters, two mufket-balls went
thro* his hat, his hair was on fire, his coat torn
between the (boulders, and one of the (kirts
(hot away. The wheel was twice cleared ;
and only two, with himfdf, remained on the
quarter-deck. Happy was it for the coun-
try that fuch an hero had to oppofe the dar-
ing and intrepid courAg^ of Suffrein, a naval
ofhcer fuperior to any that France ever pro-
duced. But wlide vvc centemplate wuh

IN your ufeful and entertaining Ma-
gaiine of laft month there is a letter
figocd W. C. ralhiy charging tbe Qua-
kers writh Deifro ; and at boldly aflcrt-
ing, that the author of a book, called
^ The Snake in the Grafs," bed knew
bow to detcft them, &c. Ice.

Now this anonymous calumniator
nay be iecure in his hiding* place, as a
peifoo beneath the notice of writers of
abilltf end character. It is enough jufl
to coodcfcend to obferve, that^ by un-
fouaded accufatioos, he has manifefted,
moft glaringly, both his malice and his

Sorance. Mrs. Koowles, in the John-
iao dialogue alluded to, fiiUy clears
their Society of the Dolor's iofinuaiion
of Deifm; and their numerous writ-
iagt prove them alfo to be incootroverti-
bty iound in the Chriaian faith. <* The
Snake in the Grafs" fpeedilv met with
aa cffedual anfvver, in a publication in-
titnled *'A Switch for the Snake."
This whole fome Switch prefenti j whip-
ped him into cover, whence he never
after ventured to peep out hts head.

nations, as of the Americans*, for ex-
ample, being defcended from the Britons
of ihis ifland, becaufe the name of a bird,

agreeable to the dcfcription of the fowl,
wbich may be only a cafual coincidence (
and though Aill lefs can be inferred from '
the Naraganfet-rock infcriptions, once
thought to be Phoenician, and that an
argument might be drawn from thence,
that the Carthaginians or Fcani had been
there f , but at laft turned out to be only
either (bme unmeaning fcratchts, or ac
beft Tartarian chara^ers t ; yet, furely,
Mr; Urban, we ha?e good and fufficicnc
grounds n9*u> for believing, from the va-
rious authorities and probable evidence
produced in your Magazines for this
year (pp. 3299396,612), that certain
Briton^ do a^ually exift in North Ame*
rica, and are at this time a great and
powerful nation. Query, therefore, whe-
ther it would not be well worth while for
the Government to interpofe, and to fend
out fome adventurers at ti«e public ex-
pence, fumifbing them with all msnntr
of neceflaries, and promifing them fome
competent, or rather liberal, rewards, if
fuccefsful, in order to explore more fuUf
the latitudes alluded to in thofe papers,
for the purpofe, firfl, of afceruining thn
matter of fa£^i and then, if the liate-
ments of the (everal papers fhould provt
true, of profecuting a trade with tliac
congenial nation, which, as one has a«
bundant reafon to believe, would prove
at lead as beneficial as that of Botany
Bay, or Nootka Sound. I would pro*
poie then, that the adventurers fent on
this important difcovcry, for fuch I
eilcem it, fliould be four or fix in num-
ber, for fear of accidents or ficknefs ; that
they fhould be fent from hence to Canada
in a king's fhip; and, laftlv, that thef
fhould be all Britons from North Wales,
healthy and robufV, fcnfible and intelli-
gent, and the more liierau the better,
for the making of all properobfervatioBs
on what they may lee, and hear, and
feel. From the public fpirit of Mr»
Pennant, Sir, 1 cannot at all doubt but
he, though he has taken a lolemn leave
of the nation as a writer, would conde*
fcend to give himfelf the trouble, if pro-
perly applied to, of fecking out in his
own country the required number of per*

<< Chancellor Kacoo lays, that a vine m<ty
be fruitful till it is fixty year^> old : Uie
French never keep any plaiits m their vino-
yards after tha: time, and often pulUhem out
of tlie ground loonier. An old vine produces
very little I its fruit ripens later; aaid, it ic
be nnt properly primed, does not ripen it nc
all, and is foon exhaufted by the mul^pltcil/
aiid length of its (hoots.

" There is aii old vineyard, two miles dif-
tant from Bath, at a piac^ called Vine Dowa,
(part of Coombe Down), near Mr. Allen's

of the fubjefty and the ability with which
the refpefiable writer has treated it, will,
I dare fay, gain it an early place in your

to make room for a few extract from

have ventured to obliterate fuch para-

If I do not Venture to examine the

my fubje£^, that is an nmtliion which,
between ouifelvt^, will not require a-
pologv ; for, though 6riTily of opinion
that neither one no, the other is again^
me, wt are well agreed, that *' no
worldly policy, no confide ration of
commerce, no influx of wealthy to indi*

guments of any avail f.

It IS a melancholy and painful re*
flexion, that the wanrs and defires of
men, whtch necellatily multiply with,
their civiliziition and improvement,
(hould kind.e and dcvelope in the hu*
man bofom a piffion which may rival
in its t^e£ls all tiie exceffes which the

river, at the expence of no lefs a fum
than 300I. In the extremity of the gar*
den, from the earth dug out in forming
theie canals, they made a mount, who£
pcr^^endicular height is about i§ feet ; at
the bafis of which is a leaden canifter*
containing fome coins of the rime, with
the names o( the tami'v and friends who
were prefcnt at the ceremony ; and, be*
ing young men ot fpirit and falhion, they
did much improve this old manfion to
the laftc of the times. Acrofs the pria-
cipal canal they threw an arch, on which
they built an elegant pavilion, which wa«
6ttcd-upwith mvich expence of furniture^
carving, and giloing, as a library. This
ediBce did not long furvive the old houfe,
being quite cleared away fome yean. The
garden walls are buiU of remarkably large
brKk, 15 inches by ^^, made from a bed
of clay Kiund ihcie at the time of dig-
ging and enlarging? the caaals, which the
gardener favs, are deemed in meafure
equal to an acre of land. After this fa-
mily left Horton, the houfe, wanting re-
pair, was occupied by May hew, a gar-
dener, for near forty years, who rented
the garden-grounds.

Six years ago the houfc was taken
down, being in ruins ; the fite of it and
the i^ardtnv is fix acres, let to Mr. Cox
for lit. lot. per year.

The houfe did join, as may be feen by

The church u an old building. From
the Roman femicircular arch dn the
front iioor, which is well prefervcd with
its MTaved or zigzag mouldings, we may
venture to pronounce this church to l>e
built in the twelfth century, if not he*
fore, as, what we now call theearlv Nar-
min archiieflure, was totally difufed af-
ter the time of Henry III. viz, 1230;
when the Saracenic pointed arch, com*
monly called the Gothic, prevailed.

In a chapel on the North fide of this
church, with a boarded flour which opens
in the middle, is the family vault of the
Scawens $ but, from its prefcnt decayed
and negleded ftate, we may infer that
this family alio is no more.

TO the paiticulari already fumiihed
vou refpeding Dr. Robert Greene,
▼ol. LlIL pp. ia6, 6e7, you may add,
from a letter of Mr. Tho. Baker to Mr.
Thomas Hearne, dated 1730, and pre*
ferved In the Bodleian librarv at Oxford,
'* Dr. O, author of the philofophy, who
died in Staffbrdfliire, ordered his bodjr
to be differed by a flulful furgeon, hia
ikeleton to be hung up in King's College
library, for public ufe, without a mo-
nument. The furgeon declined the
work \ and the Provoft refafmg to admit
the body, it was buried in All Saints at
Cambridge. His will. In nine or tea
ilieets, appointed for his executors the

moft of his effeds to his own college %
but, if his will was not executed ia
every pnrticularyto the above colleges ia

In another letter, dated 1734, Mr*
Baker fays of Bifbop Burnetii ad vo-
lume of the "Hiftory of his own Time,**,
which he had juft read, that *' it is not
ib entertaining at the fird, being lefs in*
firu^ive, and written with more temper

beft part of the book { which, if it ma/
be depended on, Ibew him to have bcea
a great, and no bad, man ; and I can-
not forbear thinking that his enemiea
have blackened him beyond what he

Lords had infringed the privilege of the
Houfe, by amending thofe claufes in a

fiated two ways by which the privileges

chants of London, prefented by Lord
Rawdon, again ft the bill. After the
counfel had concluded.

Lord GnnvilU, in a fpecch of fome
length, pointed out the good effe£lf th^
were likely to arife from the prefent
bill ; the created boon that Government
could beitow upon Canada was, a par-
ticipation of that government that was
enjoyed by other Britilh colonies, name-
ly a mixture of arifiocracy, democracy,
and monarchy. The Noble Lord theo
went through the various claufes of the
bill ; which, he faid, were aHimilated
as neatly to the Btitiih Conftiiution at
ctrcumdances would admit.

Loid Abingdon gave his hearty aifent
to the piefent bill, becaufe it went te
repeal the 14th and i6tii of his piefeot
Majefty, namely, the Quebec bill, and
the Declaratory a£t ; and becaufe be
held it as policy that the Government of
Britain lliould referve to itfelf a comroul

Lord Rawdon laid theie was a defici-

fefied to be, he was a friend to it.

Mr. fi, Tbornt9n declared the obje6k
of the bill was neither more nor lefs
than to promote the civilization of A-
£rica. It had been faid, that this was
to revive a monopoly; how could that
bcy when Tefliels were at liberty to wood

Mr. StaMlfy (the younger), Mr. BuX'
iOHf and Mr. R, 7borHt»fi, fpoke in fa-
vour of the bill.

Mr. Motttagm thought' it hard, that,

they could not be allowed a fpot of
tbirty fquare miles to make an experi-
ment, which, if fuccefsful, mud tend to
the welfare of this country, and relieve
the minds of thofe gentlemen who
voted againft the abolition of the flave-
trade, on the ground that Africa could
produce nothing but the flefli and blood
of (laves, and that our plantations could
be cultivated only by a fucceflion of
thofe unhappy beings, — for he did not
doubt of the humanity of thofe gentle-
men on any other fcore.

* Mr. Bro^k Watfitn faid, he voted a*
gainft the abolition, under an idea that
tho(c ilaves were removed from a worfe
to a better flate : he never heard the
ntrchants fpcak againft the bill; it
ihould therefore have his concurrence. .

always in tlieir power, without the in-
fluence of a few inQammatory dema-
gogues to direct them. France, by Mr.
P'sconfcflion, has made the experiment
of making a government infolvcnt, on
purpofe to diffolvc it. It would be but
jutlice, both to France and England, to
allow a fair and reafonable time to fee
how the experiment fucceeds, and not
to force all the governments of Europe
into the melting*pot at once, for the
plea fore of diffotving them down to
their 6rft principles. The aim of mo-
dern philofophers and demagogues is,
to annul every fyllem of religion and
government. Dr. Pricftley is to re-
chriflianize, and Mr. Paine to re-go-
vern, the world. ** It is an age of Rc-
** volutions," he fays, p. 171, **"in
** which every thing may be looked
It for.»» ' The renovation of the world
is the completion of ihc Gufpel difpen-
fation ; but, if wc undeill.md the lan-
guage of prophecy, this is not to take
place till things are come to the worfl,
and, as in the old world before the
flood, the wickednefs of man is great in
the earthy and then the renovation is to
be produced in a mnu btavin oMd mrw
garth.

Mr. P. concludes with fomc general
obfervations, in the fame ftrain as the
bulk of his book; but when he alks, p.
169, *'Why are not republicks plunged
'' into war, but becaufe the nature of
'* their government docs not admit of

117.-^ ifw C'flww r of the French Ltngnai*,
By Dominique de St. Quentin, M. A,
AS the uKcicourfe betwixt France
lud thti couQtry is likely to become

mQrt frequent and more general, every
attempt to facilitate the learning of the
language is laudable and eventually ini«*
portant. The greateft difficulty which
learners have to contend with is univcr-
faliy found to be the complex termina-
tions and various applications of the
French verbs. In no French Grammar,
which h^s hitherto appeared, has any
attempt been made to render this pro-
ccfs more (imple and more intelligible.
In this inftance, and, indeed, in others -
alfo, Mr. de St. Quentin is entitled to
much commendation. There is a Hm-
ple mode of explanation, throughout
his work, which, to beginners, cannuc
fail of being exceedingly ufcful We
note a trifling inaccuracy in the preface.

author, ".will (hew that it i* particularly

THE do£krine of tLttraili^n lias been
thought by many to be the opprobrium
of the Newtonian l^ftem; in which the
HrQ (lep is to fuppofe that the fun at-
tracts ail the planets, and evtry drop of
water, and every grain of fand, in them,
by fome inviAble chain : and this at* I
tra£linn is not interrupted by any inter*
vening body.

This doctrine has been thought by
many llrangc and inconceivable. The
dcfign of this cflay is, to fubllitute an-
other principle, of tffiux and reflux to
and from all bodies, as causing, iu a
plain, intelligible way, all the motions
and appearances on earth, and in the
heavenly orbs.

In the execution of this defign, the
anonymous author illuUrates the prin*
ciple by the inrtance of a lamp^ in which
the conftant emanation of light is fup-
plied by a conilant influx df air (ice
chap. I.)

In chap. II, the fame principle is
traced as operating in the Jun^ whofc
cfBux IS con(ider<^d as the centrifugal
power by which the planets art kept at
a proper dillance ; and the xcheiial
fluid (like air to the lamp) conltitutes
the ccntiipctal power. The fun's rao-
titm round its axis is that which gives
every planet a correfpondiog moiion ^

THIS reformer of criminal police
complains heavily that coiners and fpiet
are hanged, *' with a lecret and an un-
<* accountable pleafure in the bread of
•* their blood-guilty executioner," while
the corrupter of Ttrgin innocence and
the adulterer goromute their crimes by
a pecuniary compeniation. He obje£ls
to the publicity of our executions, for*
gerting the ftronger objedion to the
pi iv/4te ones performed in the prifons of
other couniric*! and, after mifrepre- .
Tenting the attendance of the fhenflf, or
his deputv, *' atttndcd by their domeftic ^
** fervants, decked out in taJilSf and •
" ornamientcd with all th^ vain and
'• g4udy trappings of fckolaftic finery,"
he tells us, two pages forward, that he
does not objed to the attendance of the
iberiff, under-fl)trij, coniUbles, and
other roferior officers, but only to the
'' manner and the publicly indecent lo-
•• caliiy of its oblcrvance." He pro-
pofes a place of execution far diilant
from the metropolis and the public
roids, yet freely accclfible to all who
like fach fpe^tacles. His reafoning, fiom
Scripture, that only murder was puniih*
ed with death by the Mofaic law, is a
miftake. Blalph^my and I'acnlege, fmit«
ing, or even curling parents, witchcraft,
and bcafiiality, were capitally punilhtd ;
the two 6rli of which arc riot under
the Chiidian fyiUm, except by fuch as
c^n cooArue '* hereticpm ^fuiia** into
capital punidiment. If the fifth com-
fflaodmeot was as abfolutp as this wiixtt

prefumct, th«re oould be no war, at leaft
of the offitnfive kindt and ret offenfire
war, and the extirpation of whole na*
tiont, are repeatedly enjoined in the Old
Te(\ament, both under the theocracr
and the kingly adminiftration. Thoie
who reafon thus abftra^edly forget that
in the Jewifli gbvemment the Deicf,
who was their fupremc ruler, took oa
himfelf the punilhmcnt of many crimes,
for which he provided no human pu«
niihmcnt ; and our free- thinkers as m-
confiderately make the fanguinary laws
of Moles an obje^oo to their divine
inOitution. The law of retaliation, oa
which' our author iniifts fo much, is
difufed in all legiflatures, and may be
fuppofed to have been done away by
Jefus Chrilt bim(elf. Laws are relative
to the conflitution of the people where
they obtain i and one might as well in-
trodace the Spartan encouragement of
theft as object to the £ngli& punilh-
roent of it. We have repeatedly ha4
occafion to remark, that our Saviour
inftituted no fvfiem of civil polity;
confequcntly, nothing in his dodrine
has any reference to civil or political
juriCprudence. If the palfive do£trine
which he oppofes to retaliation is not to
be ** taken in its liberal fenfc," much
lefs is that of forgivenefs of trefpafTes.

To this writer's argument, drawn
from the " fending a fellow-creature
^* out of the world in the career of
'* folly and wickednefs, at a time wbea
** he hath neither inclination nor, per-
" haps, power to repent, and thus de-
" priving him of all opportunity of
" making atonement for his paft con-
** du£l," we need only oppofe the ex-
ample of hanging up, infiaotly, the
ringleaders of a mutiny on board a
tran(port bound to Botany-bay, or
fhooting tbofe of the riots of London,
1780, or at Birmingham, 1791, whea
the criminals would be in tUt mid ca-
reer of their crimes; and let him aik

In hTs theory and treatment of the

who have lately written upon the Tub*

periments, endeavours to invedigacc the

in thefe cafes, to the blood contained in
the left auricle and ventricle of the
h-^art being incapable of exciting their
contraction, from the privation of the
ufual llimulus fupplicd by the air; and
hence he derives the immediate caufe
of the fufpended circulation. Mr. Kite^
on the other hand, attributes it to apo-
plexy ', and confiders the iloppai^e of
the mttUrt of the lungs as the firfi, in-
ternal, efficient caufe of death. In x>r*

THE vilbge of Aldboum, in North
Wilts, luiving fuffercd by a dreadfid
fire a few years ago, a Clergyman wrote a
Poem on the event. Some altufions render
it neceflary to obferve (according to the au-
thor), that Aldboum was formerly a market
town, but IS now much reduced. It is fitu-
ated in a winding valley, through which a
brook ufually flows for fevcral months every
year ; and, if the fprings happen not to rife
high enough to produce this efle^ it is con-

fidered as a bad omen to the publick.

The fatal fire happened on a Sunday, fooo

alter llie conclufion of Morning Service : It

began ai the firR houTe in the town to the

5 wind-

windward, and, as the wind was high, pre- » Old Chaos triomplis, by dtm Fate letloofe;

fently tfdnfumed all before it to the very laft ;
leaving a traA of ruins near half a mile long,
and redncing a nomber of families to aCk
charity, the lois amoonting to thirteen tbou-
laxui pounds, tod upwards.

If you (hould think the following ftanzas
deffTving a place, you will be fo good as to
infert them in your next Maj^azine.

B^ets her more permanent feme.

MiKtJtES or TRB PROCEEDINGS op the NATfOKAL ASSEMBLY otf

FRANCE, frmt the Day •f tbt King's Fiight ; with m Vitw to tranfmit

tbi Minutiae •/ thai mtBKrahle Tranfs^ion.

yunt i.nr^HE Profidem annonnced to the
X National AfTembly tlie flight of
the King:, Qneen, and Royal Family, from
their Palace of the Thuilleries at Paris,
' which occafioiied a raoioentary confterna-
tion.

The King left a proclamation behind him,
in which he apologizes for his condu6l, and
iblemnly revokes all the a£ts to which he
had fet his name while in confinement, be-
ing advifed fo to do by General Bouille, who,
it fmce appears, was the principal contriver
of his retreat.

Same tiay.l M. de la Fayette, on the firil
intelligence he rec^ved of the efcape, hav-
ing difpatched an Aid de Camp in purfuit of
I the King, that officer appeai'ed before the Af-
' fembly, and complained of being flopped and
ill-treated by the populace. Two Members
were therefore commiffioned to accompany
him without the city gates.

Orders were then given, that an embargo
be laid in all the fea-ports; and it was
moved, that an order fhould be iffued for all
Citizens to arm, and hold chemfelves in rea-
dine(« to preferve the peace ; that all official
\ feals (hould be fequeflered, to prevent frauds;
and that all Public Miniflers (hould be called
before the Aflembly, to give an account of
their condu^.

M. Montmorin apprized the Affembly,
that he was a prifoner in his own houfe.

M. Duport acquainted the Aifembly, that
he had that morning received the King's ex-
] prefs orders not to make qfe of the feals
without his Majefty's permiffiun.

In confeqnence of this communication,
the Aifembly decreed, that fuch laws as are
already pafTed, but cannot be fanclioned by
the King becauf& of his ahfence, do flill re-
tain his name ; and that the Chief Minifter
of juilice be empowered to affix the feals to
fuch other Decrees as neceflity requires.

In the mean time it was ordered, that the
doors of the Royal Apartments in the Thu-
illeries be fecured.

M. Montmorin, being releafed, appeared

at the bar, as did M. de la Porte. They

made their report, and received their in-

itruflions with refpe^ to the bufinefs of

their offices.

« M. Gouvion, the principal officer on guard

when the Royal Family efle^fed their eicape,

confefTet) before the Aifembly, that he had

been told in fecrccy of a defii;n formed for

the Queen to make her efcape ; that he had

thought ii his duly to acquaint tl-.e Mayor

with what lie had heard ; and ihai thereupon

the guards had been doubled : fo that it was

not pstTible for him to conceive by what

means their Majebies could accomplilh thcu*

porpofe,

GlHT. Mao, jlugufi, 179 V

It now was thought neceflary to concert
meafures by which the correfpoodence with
Foreign Powers might befl be carried on
without interruption \ and a very long en*
quiry took place concerning the ftate of th«
Royal Treafury.

M. de la Porte, in whofe hands the King's
Proclamation already mentioned was found
depofited, again appeared at the bar, and was
queff ioned as to the n\anner of his receiving
it. Being afked, lie anfwered, that he re*
ceived it from a fervant who a^ied as tho .
King's valet, and who was fled.

M. de Rochefbucaulc appeared at the baTp
and excufed himfelf from taking upon him
the guard of the firontiers, becaufe of hit
great age, being near feventy ; but aflured
the Aifembly that they might depend on his
zeal and fidelity. His reOgoatioa was re-
jeAec).

by violence, or milled by perfidious fuggef-

beeoming to fuppofe that any criminal inten-
tions have exiAed againll the peribn of the
King. To forefee crimes where none exift,
is to create them. It is the doty of all per-
loos whatever, holding any civil or military
emplorroenty to avail themfelves each of his
refpe^ve power to proteA the return of
the King, and ts feize and arred all thofe
who flail dare, in any degree, to vidate the
fefpe^ due to the Royal dignity.

A numerous Deputation of the National
Guards was admitted ; when M. de la Fay-
ttte, their Speaker, addrefled the PrefulenC
in terms the moft expreflive of fuppoiting
the caofe of Liberty and the necv Conftitu-
tion.

The Prefidint^ in return, made the fol-
lowing reply : That all France was fenfihle
of their obligations to his virtue ; and fhouM
our enemies forget that the people of France
are free, they will be taught by you, tliat
the power of freemen is as formidable as
their valour.

The Parifian National Guards to which
were added great numbers of Volunteers,
marched aav>(s the Hall, exclaiming, *' We
fwear we will live free, or die !"

An Address, or Proclamation, in the name
of the National Aflembly, was now ordered
to be difpcrled throughout the kingdom, by
way of anTwer to that already mentioned
left behind him by the King.

Political fpeculators are not yet agreed as
to the termination of the war betwben the
RulBans and Turks ; nor are the advices we
receive by the way of Vienna, of thealmoft
uninterrupted fucceflcs of the former over
the latter, always to be de|)ended upon. —
That the advantage of the war has, upon
the whole, been in favour of RiUlia, appears
inconteftahly true ; but it is equally true,
that, at tlie beginning of the vTar, when the
Turks flood alone againlt the combine*!

themfelves with an «b(linacy that aOoiuflied

on the 2 ^d of May laft :

On the 2ift of May the ihip was lying at
a field of ice, in length forty or fifty miles,
another nearly the lame fize drifting down
by a gale of wind at the fame time. On
Saturday night, at ten o'clock, the 21ft, the
two fields met, dire<5lly at the fpot where the
Ihip was lying, which fquetzed her with
fuch violence, that in half an hour they oW-
ferved the water above the firft tier of cafts
in the hold j at the fame time the (hip's com-
pany were empl<jyed in (awing a dock for
the (hip ; hut the prelTure was fo hard, as to
jam the ice faws, which rendered every
effort of that kind inefFeAual. The water
fiill continued to rufh into the (hip in fuch
• manner, that at twelve o*cIock it was
within a foot of the lower-deck beams. They
immediately hoi (led a fi^nal of diflrefs at
the lop- maft-head, for afii fiance from about
fifty fail of Duich and £ugli(h (hips near

fituation, ccul4 give little help. By the af-
fiftance they received, and getting two more
pumps from the other fhips, they kept the
Ihip from finking till Monday noon, when
the ice Oncked. As the principal leak was
not far under water, ih«y ufed every means
to flop it, cut up pieces of beef a«d oakum,
and let them down along the fide with a
fail, which they found of great fervice j fo
that, in two hours after, the (hip was confi-
derably lightened. They immediately fixed
an anchor on the ice, and got the (hip hove
down fo far as to get at the pl.ice where (he
was moft bruifcd, over which tlie carpenters
nailed canvas and boards, and was (o per-

On the morning of the 1 3th of July, a
melancholy accident happened at PViicotg
near Bifbop's Caftle, Slu'op(hire. A num-
ber of workmen being employed to take
down a brick wall, they undermined it, ia
order that it might fall ; and fitting down on a
bench near the fame, in order to view it, the
foundation fuddenly gave way, and the wail
fell upon one Samuel Cooke, a bricklayer,
and cru(hed him in fo terrible a manner, that
he^ expired in a (hort time after. His father
and feveral otlieri narrowly efcaped being
hurt, having cjuitted the bench but a few fe-
conds before the unfortunate young man was
kUled.

LechLJf, July 18. Yefterday evening this
town experienced one of the moft violent
thundcr-ftorms ever known in this country.
After a very clear and hot day, about four in
the afternoon the clouds began to coUedt in
tlie Eaft, and foon formed a very lowering
afpedt

At five the dorm commenced, and con«
tinued, with little intemullion, till nine at
night.

The thunder was moft tremendous, ami
the flaihes ofhghtning fo frequent and vivid,
that the whole tieavens appeared in a total
confiagrntion. The rain, accompanied at
firft with hail-(lones of a prodigious (ize,
defcended in fuch torrents, that the houfea
in St. John*s-llreet were overflown with
water, and the river Ifis, in confeqtience, fo
much fwelled, that we apprehend much da-
mage is done to the new l»ek.

One of tlie windows of the church is
ihivered to pieces, and the fte^ple has alfo
received much d.image. Divme fervice had
been over about h.ilf an hour previous to the
Aoiro, whereby many lives were probably
faved.

The li^^htning, in its progrefs, isfuppofed
to have been attra^ed by the bells, and the
large chandeliers which are fufpended by
iron gUt chains from the roof of the church.

We have not yet heard of any other acci-
dents, excepting the XoXs, of two horfcs in
an adjoining meadow, which were (truck
dead. The ftorm was alfo, we hear, very
heavy at Highworth, Swindon, Farringdon,
and the vicinity, though unattended, we
believe, with any fcrious confequences.

Monday mornirg. The rain is at prefent
falling in torrents, with occafional claps oC
thunder. Much damage, it is apprehended,
will accrue to the new water-works recently
ere(5led on the river. The meadows prefent

ftealing a number of dollars from on board a

About two o'clock in the morning, as a

Mr. Garrow (lated, that Mr. Taylor, aa
Chairman of the Quarter Seffion, had repri-
manded Mr. Lewis (who lud been employed
to build a bridge), alledging, as he had
heard, that he 1»4 negleded to pay the
workmen. Mr. Lewis, in confequence oC
this repreheofion, fent a letter to Mr. Tay-

Lord Loughborough, as the Senior Juftic^
of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol
Delivery, impofed a fine of five hundred

. pounds upon the county of EHex (which we
have recorded in its place), for the negli-
gence of the gaoler in fome matters relating
to the county 'gaol, which fine was after-

. .wards regularly el\reated into the Court of

y Exchequer. The county, with a view to
try the legality of impufiag this fine, obtained
tk w lit oictrjitari to remove the record of the
fine, as made at Chelmsford by the Clerk

.'of the Arraigns during tlte ailizes at which
it was impofed. The Attorney General^
liowever, conceived that the parties were
not entitled to this writ ; and, initead of re-
turning tlie record, he moved the Court of
Excliequer that the writ might be quaihed,
as having been improvidently ilTued : and
the point was this day debated by Mr. Bear-
croft and Mr. Wood, on behalf of the coun^r
of ElTex. But the Court took time to conH-
4er of the que^on.

Lord Chief Baron Eyre now delivered tlie
opinions of the Barons, that the writ muit
be quaihed, quia iii^ntfiJi mandavit. He
. faid, therf \Vas no doubt but that the Court
of Kxc))cquer had authority to grant a eer^
iior^ri to remove the record of a fine ; but
that it was not a writ to which a Defendant
was entitletl ex deblto jh/iUi^Pt efpecially in
the prefent cafe, becaufc he might plead,
4nd go to ilTue upon tlie eftreat as well as
upon the record.

His Lordfhip illuilrated this law in that
high and dignified f\yle of eloquence ,by
which he i^ to eminently dinin^uifhed, and
ihcwcd, in a^^gJV^- v.ijjeiy of inftanccs, ihe

pidgenients ; particularly the cafe of Sir Joho
Read, in the reign of Charles IL who, as
Sheriff of the county of Hertford, was fined
five hundred pounds by Mr. Juflice Wyn<U
ham, for not doing his duty at the aflizes ; in
which cafe, though the reeord of the'fi^o
was rembved by certiorari, yet it appearwt
to be at the inilance of the Kingt and before
the fine was efb^ated ; and tlie cafe of the
inhabitants of Cornwall, who, in the reign
of James (L were fined for not keeping tho
county |aol in repair.

The. writ of ctrtiorari wat accordingly
quafhed, and the county left to plead to the
edreat as they fhould be advifed.

Between the hours of four and five in the
afternoon, as a poor woman was gathering
chickweed in a field adjoining the long lane^
known by the name of Cut-throat-lane^
which leads from Kennington Common to
Camberwell, fhe fuddenly perceived the bodjr
of a man upon the ground near the ditch,
with his throat cut, and the blood ftrearoins
near him^ On his righl-luind lay the razor
with which he had deilroyed himfeK, and
alfo his cravat, fo deliberately had he doiw
it. The poor woman's (hrieks, at the fight
of a fpe^tade fo horrid, foon brought ail
the labourers in the neighbouring brick-
fields, and the paffengers within hearing.
On examination, he appeared to be about
^hirty years old, well-drefled, in a genteel
drab-coloured coat, toilenette waiflcoat, fuf-
'tian breeches, the late oew-fa(hioned blue
thread dockings witli white clocks, iilvpr
ihoe and knee buckles, and in his pocket
two half-guineas, fbiu* fhillings and fix pence
in filver, and fome half-pence. Having no
papers about him which could lead to a dif-
covery of who he was, he was taken to
Lambeth bone-houfe to be owned.

The Court of King's Bench laid down a
noft imporUnt rule with refpe^ to the ad-
miffioD of Attornies, which was read by the
Clcrky and is in fuhitance as follows :

*• That, from and after the lad day ef Mi-
chaelmas Term next, it was ordered, that no
Attorney who wrote, or did bufinefs, for
other Attomies, ihould have any Articled
Clrrk, or if he bad, that his fervice fhould
nut be deemed good fervice. And that, be-
fore any perfon applied for admilTion to be
an AttcToey of the Ci)iut of King's Bench,
unleCitie bad been previoiiHy admitted as an
ACcpmey of fome other t^ourt, he (hould,
for ihe fpace of one full term, caoTe his namb
and place of abod*jj as well as the name and
pUc e of abode of U^t Attorney to whom he
had been articled, to be written in legible
chara^ers on the outfule of the Court of
King's Bench, where public notices are ufu*
ally l\uck. up, and alfo in the King's Bench
Office* and at the Judges' Chambers."''

Lord Kenyon fjid, this had been commu-
nkaCed to the Court of Common Pleas.

At night, as Mr. John Palmer, of tlie
|1 ay market theatre, was resuming firom
Kichoiond in a gig, accompanied by Mr. Kel*
ly, of the Strand, the horfe took fright jn
{Cenfingtoo, and threw both the gentlemen
out. Mr. Palmec received a dreadful cut in
tl>e heady and his collar-bone was fra^ured ;
bis life was declared to be in very imminent
danger. Mr. Kelly received a violent blow
on the fide, by which he was much cut, and
bis bead and hce were greatly bruifed.

In -the Court of King's Bench, an a^ion
Was^ tried, Hopkins vffut Sawyer, which
took up a coofiderahie part of the time and
attention of the Court. The Plaintiff, bit
fpring, purchafed a horle, for thirty guineas,
from the Oefeodant, which was warranted
to be found ; buc the horfe dying fome time
after the purcbafe, in confequence 9^ un-
ijjundneis, the prdent adlion was brought to
recover his value from the Defendant. The
Circumflance that created peculiar difficulty
in feiuching the true merits of the cafe, was
the dc^Tith of the farrier who had the care of
the horfe after his coming into the PlaintilTs
poflisiiioo. It appeared, however, that the
horfe was iU at tlie time uf his delivery, and,
growing woife, (bortly died. Two fervants
belonging to tlie Defendant gave a teftimony
diredlly contrary to that ut ihe witnelTes on
^hjdf .of ;iic piaiotiff { bt)t Lord Kenyon

partly reconciled the incoofiilenciet in f>
vour of t|ie P^intifC

The Jury retired, and, after fome time,
brought in Iheir verdidt for tlie Plaintiff,

The Coroner's Inqoeft fat on the body of
Mr. Graham ; fee p. ^ti. After a due in-
vedigation of this melancholy tranfa^lion,
as well its origin as every fubfecpicnt part,
the Jury brought in a verdi^ of Mnwjlattgb'
ter againfl Mr. Julius the principal, and ac-
quitted the Seconds.

On the next evening (Saturday) his corpfe
was interred in Lincobi's-lnn burial-ground.

About ten o'clock in the morning a young

gentleman put a period to Jiis exiflence in a
field behind the Duke of Bedford's houfe.-^
He wa5 obferved by a gentleman, who
paffed him on his way firom Iflington, to
take a piflol from his pocket, and then with
the utm'oft coolnefs feated himfelf on the
turf. The gentleman, thinking he was go*
ing to amufe himfelf by (hooting at the birds,
took no notice of him, until, alarmed by
the report of the piflol, he turned his head,
andfaiv him fall i ho then hurried back, and
found that the ill-fated young man had placed
the muzzle of the pidol to the pole of his
necki and had blown out his brains. On
fearching his pockets a card* was fouml,
which difcovered his name, and another con-
taining the addrefii of a friend, who, being
fent for, immediately attended, and faw the
boiiy conveyed to a neighboiA*ing lioufe, for
the Coroner's Jury to fit on it.

A poor old woman, with a baiket on her
head, had a few moments before requeued
the aini^ance of the unhappy man to lift
down her burthen, an4 he had attended to
her defire with great humanity and care.

Pecuniary embarraffments are faid to have
been the caufe of his committing tlie raOi

aa.

In the afternoon a poor countryman was
going over Blackfriars Bridge behind a coach,
4nd, in endeavpuring to get from behind the
f.ime, before he could recover himfelf fron)
the leap, was knuck,cd dpwn by the horfes
of another coach which was coming up at
the fame inftant; by which accident the
coach whetil went over the back part of the
poor man's neck, and killed him on the fpoc.

A young woman threw herfelf from one
of the barges at the Adelphi Wharf into the
Thames ; Ihe was foon taken out by fome
filhermen, but would give no account of
herfelf, or the reafons which imluccd her to
make the ra(h attempt. — She appeared to be
about twenty-|bur yeai's of age, and was far
advanced in pregnanqr.

an imagination lively and vigourou^, and ex-
ercifmg unwearied application in the purfuic

From his accurate knowledge of aotient
Rome, of Italy, and Sicily, he 4>eru(ed, with
a pecuhar pleafure, the claflical writers,
many of whofe local defcriptions ht luid
examined upon the f^HX. Hu» frequent and
apt citations of them difplayed a memory
uncommonly tenacious; and he was ever
.ready to commumcate the refult of his ob-
fervations and inquiries. To his proficiency
in languages he liad joined the (ludy of tlia
theory of mufick, and was an exquifite per-
former on the harpfichord. The various at-
tainments of his cultivated underilanding re-
ceived additional luAre from his virtue, pro-
bity, and honour. His fenfibility was ex-
treme, and often led him to commiferate, too
feelingly for his own repofe, the ills infcpa-
rable from human life. Some plates, exhi-
biting aniieut Candeiahra extant at KomOf

common, Ireland, in his %id year, Charles
O'Connor, efq He was a member of the
Royal Irifh Academy, a ref^iefted antiquary,
and author of many different works. Li>
neally defcended from the lafl unfortunate
native pnnce who ruled tliat ifland ; poffelT-
cd of all thofe amiable and engaging qualities
which could fecure friends, and of abilities
which mud command pre-eminence, he was
debarred of eveiy benefit which fuch quali-
ties and circumstances could procure, by be-
ing a Roman Catholick. His heart was llill
better than his head. His integrity, through
the coiu^e of a long life, was unim|)eached ;
and his charities equalled his income. He
polTeifed but a fmall ettate, the vail poftcf-
fions of his family being lod by fuccelfive
forfeitures to the Crown, in the two lall cen-
turies, in aMifeqnencc of whrit was j^cn call-
ed Rebellion, but which, in the prefcnt a^,
would be deemed by all, Refi^lnnce to Op-
prelfion. A ihui t time Iwfore his death, it is
faid he enga;^ei) many of his relations and
friends to emigrate to the United biates of
Korth America, to fvek for freedom and in-
dependence in the foreds of c*iac continent,
rather than obtain either m their native
country by means dilbotu>uiabl5, or by a de-

(ertioa of their religious principles* He look«
ed on Religion, let the mode be what it nrightf
as the on\f means which coOld fecure the ha*
man heart from corruption; and that the
worft poAibte fyftero of Legiflation was that
which could infliA penalties on the retention,
or annex rewards to the defertion, of this
principle. If he had a weaknefs, it was a
iingularity of opinion, that the Engliih nation
do not poflefs the virtues generally attributed
to them as peculiarly chara^riftic, viz. ge-
nerous courage, and love of univerdd liberty.
He denied them the former, for. they were
cniel after conqueft t and the latter, for he
averted they would enflave where th^ could
command. To many indhridoab, however,
of this nation he was as partial as be was
the contrary to the aggregate (but, abs ! what
nation can, in the aggregate, equal its indivi-
duals }) — with many he cultivated a very
warm friendfhip 1 and the teitimonies l<ord
Lyttelton and others bore to bis merits and
his value muft be h>gl^T flattering to his
poderity, in whatever climate or country
they may fix their abode ; and fhoald they
endeavour to imitate them, they will be
higldy ufeful. He publiihed '* An Acoounc

Mr. Urban, Sept. 6.

I SEND you an epitaph on the late
Mr. Salter, whofe death is recorded
in p. 492, fixed up on the South wall of
the chancel at As HDON church, in EiTcx,
on a tablet of black marble, in a frame
formed like a Gothic arch { dtfigned and
executed by Mr. Robinlon, mafon, of
Sdftran,Walden.

Here lies the body

of theReV. NATHANltLSALTKX, A.M.

who died March 7, i ; 9 r , hged 87 years,

late re^or of this parifti,

and for many years a condant preacher

in this church ;
and, beinf^ d ad, dill defires to fpealc

to his beloved pariftiioners,

aiid eamedly exhort them to have

a (pecial care of

their fouls ;

and CO that end

CO- ftanily to attend npon the wortbip of God,

frequenily to receive the facrament, and
diligently to obferve the* good indruAioos

given

m this place ;

to breed op their children in the fear of God,

and follow peace with all men,

and bolineis,

without which no man diall fee the Lord.

God give us all a happy meeting

at the refurredion of the |uft.

Amen.

Mr, Salter's death was occafioned by
his tailing down the dairs of his cellar,
the decay of his fi^ht preventing him
from feeing that the dcor was open He
was admitted of Caiu^ College, in C*m-
bf:« pe, whfie he proceeded A.B. 1724,
A.M. 1729. and w^s prcfcnted by that
Socic;v to this rc£lory 1748. He re-
paired hi^ chancel 1790.. and inhabited an

* Nadi's \Vorc€dcrdare, '• 2721 273.

Mr Urban, Sept,^.

TO your extract from Mr. Baker'c
Letters refpe£ling Bi(hop Burnet,
p. 725, add, •* To Bifljop Burnet 1
have no more to fay than that, indead
of compliances, I gave him the higheft
provocation, fuch as mod men would
have highly rcfented, but few befides
himfelf would have printed. But my
principle is not fo high as you may ima-
gine. I hold communion with the Eda-
blidied Church : the new communion I
do not underdand."

** No man ever had more enemies, or
has been more defpitefully treated. I
widi you could find time to read his
Life, written by his fun, which has
given me mbre entertainment than his
hiflory."

In another letter Mr. Baker fays,—
" Mr. Carte's work meets with fome
delay from his infirmities, having been
much difablcd of late by a rheumatifm;
but u now pietiy well recovered. I am
told by a good hand that he mig4it have
been Dean of VVindfor if be could have
accepted. You know he is in oiders

** A twelvemonth ago, dear Mr. — , I

I have always confidered him in the

an infane viiionary. Within the Uft
100 years, the Continent has produced
m^ny (imilar char<i6lers; but I think
none comes fo near Swe<!enbourg as the
famous enthudaft Madame Bourignon,
who was born at Lifle, in Flanders,
about tSzo. She pretended not only to
have in tercourfe with the angelic orders,
but frequent communications with the
Deity himfelf. Her generation of An-
clchrills, by means of the Devil's con-
veying the feed of unchafle perfons into
witches, and thereby producing the true
Antichrirt*, or wicked men devoted ro
him ; and her do6)rine of incuburp
whereby a demon begets a child on a
ilecping virgin, without prejudice to her
virginity; were tenets not at alltoogmfs
for Englilhmen, but which were gree-
dily fwal lowed in Great Biitain, juft at
8ivedenbourg's abfurdities now are.
Not onlv laymen, but fome ecclcfiaf-
tickf; embraced Bourignonifm j and,
Oriinge to tell ! her publication of •• The
Light of the 'World in 16^6" was of
fuch confequcnce as to call forth the pen
of the incomparable Charles Leflie, as

More ridiculous than to lament tlic dc-

ftm^ion of the HbliothifUi cb^ifh at

fophical labours of Dr. Priedley, how«-

gine, tbe mob, which he vainly imagined
he could wield with ability, and witli
which he has, in frequent inftances,
threatened the eflablifliments of his
country, has at lad recoiled upon bios
with tenfold vengeance. That Dr. P.
his done all in his power to Air up the
people in opposition to Government is a ,
fa^ eaiily proved. But I will refer
vour readers to a pamphlet publilhed
laft year, <* The Hiftorical Memoirs cf
Religious Diflcnfion ;'* a work which
Dr. PrieAley has not probably had time
to read, but which has probed him and
his caufe to the very quick, and which
feems to be wiitten by the Leflie of the

As to Mr. Thomas Paine, it is not
marvelous that he (hould find adbcrenta

but it is ftrangc that he (hould have li.

Mr. Urban, Holbam, Sept. i6.

AS your Migtzinc has the jo ft repu-
tation of bebg a general afvlum to
the Injured reputation of every man who
by his labours hai: deferTed-vvell of hit
country, I hare no difEcultv in deiiring
your pcrmiiTioo to lay before vour nu-
merous readers foine out of the many
proqfs that mipht eafily be offered to rc-
fcue Mr. Burke from the charge of in-
confiftcncv in his political opinions,
which his adverfaries have wirh much
m-ilijrnifv fitcmptcd to fix upon him.^
Finding that his late defence of our Con«
llitution, upon its own original prinot-
pies, as well a« upon thofc on which it
WIS enahriihed at the Revolution of 168^,
canilot be overthrown by any thing like
fair and ingenuous areumeot, they have
judged it expedient to Icifen,' if polTible,
the weight of his refprflable authority
by calumny and detra^ion. I Oiall re-
joice if, by vour means, I (hall l>e en-
abled to undeceive any imranial perfon,
who, by the unfounded afllrtioni:, or the
crafty infinuat'ons of the fadious and
the derperatc, had been led into an opi-
nion injurious to the well-earned fame of
Mr. Burke ; of whom it may he fiid,

Micnt inter omnes
Batkiwrn fidus, velut inter ignes
Lima minores.

In order to prove what I contend for,
namely, Mr. Burke*s confiftency of opi-
nion in matters of government and poli-
ticks, in every period, and under every
circumflance of his public life, I (hill
begin with prefcnting you fomc extrai'Js
from a famous pampiUet of his, intituled,
•• Thought*; on the caufc of the preftrt
Difcontents }** which made its appear-
ance not long after his firrt entrance into
pArliamrtit, and that during the time in
which, together wi'th the whole Whig
pany, he was in oppofition to the mea-
fures of Adminillration, at thar time
fuppofed to be under the influence of
Lord Bute and his Tory partizans.

• <* >\ny nrw powers excrcifed in the Houfe
nf Lords, or in the Honfc of Commons, or
by the Crown, ouglit certainly to excite the
vigilant and anxious joaloufy of a free people,
kven a new and unprecedented courfe of ac-
tion h the whole L^gi/Ijturgf without great
and evident ronfon, may be a fuhjcfl of juft

iineafmefs." •

«« It b true that the Peers have a great in-
flnr ncc is the kingtiom, finJ in evei7 pjrt of

.the fri'rit of liberty a^, and of the means by
which it is prcfervod.*'—

" Nothing would be more unworthy of
this nation, than with a mean and mecbaoical
rule to mete out the fplendour of the Crown.
Indeed/ 1 have found very few pcWons dif-
pofed to fo ungenerous a procedure."

Condemning the idle profecution of
Mr. Wilkes, and not believing that his
immoral charafler was the rtal^ though
it was the P^etendti^ ground of Ujs pu-
nifhment, Mr. Burke fays,

" When I fee that, for years together, ftiU
as impious, and perhaps more dangerms
writings to religion, and virtue* and order,
have not been punifhed, nor their authors
difconntenanced ; that the mod aedacions if-
htli on R'^fal M^effy have pafled withotit no*
lice I that the moft trt^f&Mhle inve^ves a-
gninil the /otvi, Uherilet^ and e^^iturin of
the country, have not met with the flighted
animadverfion t I muft confider this as a
(hocking and (bannelefs pretence. Never did
an envenomed fourrility againft every thing
facred and civil, public and private, rage
through the kingdom with fuch a furious and
unhridled licence." '

Speaking al>out reforming the Parlia-
ment, &c. M'. Burke has thcfc words :

" If 1 wrote merely to pleafe the popular
palate, it would indeed be as little trouble-
fome to me as to another to extol thofe re-
medies fo fnmons in fpeculalion, but to which
their grcalcft admirers have never attempted
fcrioufly to'refort in pra6lice.*'—

And then he goes on to exprcls his dif.
approbation of a place-bill, or of a trien-
nial parliament. Again, in another place,
on the fame fubje6V, he fays,

" Our Conflitutioo (lands on a nice equi-
poifc ; with fteep precipices and deep w;ticr$
upon all fides of it : in removing It fitwn a
dangerous leaning tow.-^rds one fide, there
may be a rifk of ovcrfcitinj: it on the other.
Every project of a material chnnge in a go-
vernment fo compUcatcd as ours, comhined
at the faft\e time with extern d circumftanccs
dill more complicated, is a matter full of
difficulties ; in which a conliderjte man will
not be too reatly to decide ; a prudent nwn
too ready to undertake ; or an honeft man
too ready to promife. They do not refpe^St
the puhlick nor thennfclves who eng<<ge (or
more than tlicy are fnrc that ihey ought to
attempt, or tli t they ai'c aWc in perfonn.
Thcfc are my fentiments, weak perhaps, hut

Mr. Urban, ^^guft 13*

IT was my intention to lay before
your readers fome few additional par-
ticulars refpe^ing this fubje£^ ; but, as
they are»moflly collateral proofs to what
has been already advanced, I thought
it heft to curtail the account, and to
conclude with an outline of the Hiftory
of the Madawgwys, in hopes that your
American correfpondents will be able,
at a future period, to add fome things
that may farther elucidate the matter.

In the year 1170, Madawg, a young-
er fon of Owen Gwynedd, Prmce of
North Wales, obferving a continual
firife reien amongft his brethren for a
fcanty inheritance of barren rocks, de*
termined to try his fortune in fearch of
a more peaceful country *. He accord-
ingly, fitted out two (hips, and failed
Weft ward, and difcovered the Southera
fhores of North America, as the event
has proved. Leaving pait of his foU
lowers there, he was enabled providen*
tially to return to Europe; and, on re«
prefenting to his countrymen what had
happened, fo many of them were in*
duced to (hare in his enterprize, that, in
his fecond emigratioa, he failed, nearly
in the fame diredion, with ten ihips
completely filled, but without being fo
fortunate as to fail-in with thofe be had

ed into fmall phials, of the capacity of

an ounce, after twenty-four drops of left behind in his firft voyage f. There

marine acid, or fpirit of fea fait, have are good grounds to alTert that Madawg,

been thrown into each of them. Shake
them, and, accurately flopped with a
mixture of wax and turpentine, keep
for ufe.

If the liquor, thus prepared, be mix-
ed with three parts of a wiite, prefumcd
to be adulterated, the latter will remain
entirely clear and limp*d if it was pure
and fret from any hurtful metal, or if
it contained only iron, the mod falutary
of the mcfaU} but becomes immediately
black if it be impregnated with the lealt
taint of lead or copper. Even a fingle
^rain of lead, diflblved in four pints of
wine, will occafion a dark cloud on
pouring m a few d.ops of this liquor.

fom^ther caufei, they removed up the
country to Kentuckvy where evident
traces of them have been lately found \
fuch as the ruins of forts, ^liillftooes,
earthenware, and other things. It is
prefumed that, as their fituation there
was feclnded, and not liable to be mo«
IcAed, they left it only in confequence
of difcovcrtng a more inviting country \
and none could be more fo than where
they 6nally fettled.

The centre of the country of the Ma-
dawgwys, and where their villages are
mod numerous, is about 38 degrees
North latitude, and 102 degrees Well
longitude from London ; but they ex-
tend (poffibly in detached communitirs)
from about n degrees North latitude,
and 97 degrees Weft longitude, to 43
degrees North latitude, and 1 10 degrees
Weft longitude. The general name of
Cymry is not loft amongft them, though
they call themfelves Madmwgwys, Ma-
^ogiauff Ms^agiaiMtf and' Mad§gioHi
names of the fame import, meaning the
people of Madawg : hence the French
travellers in Louitiana have called them
Padoutas, Matocaniis, and other names
hearing a timilitude to what they call
therofelvcs, and by which they are
known to the native Indians.

From the country of the Mat/swgwjs
fome of the rivers run Eaftward, and
others to the Weft ; by the former they
come into the Miflburi, and fo into the
JMilfifippi, bringing with them ikins,
pickled buffalo tonguet, and other arti-
cles, for traffick; and by the latter they
have a communication with the Pacific
Ocean, from a great falt-water lake in
their countryv'down the Oregan, or the
great river of the Weft, through the
i) raits of Juan de Fuca, and other
openings.

The charaQer of thcfe infulated Cam-
brians, who are a numerous people, is,
that they are very warlike i are more
civilized than the Indians ; live in large
Tillages in houfes built of ftones ; are
commodioufty clad^ ufe horfes in hunt-
ing; they have iron, of which they
make tools, but have noftre>arms ; and
they navigate the lake in large piraguas.
Their government is on the feudal fyf-
tem } and their princes are confidcred
at the dire£^ defccndants of Mae/aivg,

The above is an abftra£t of accounts
eiven by different people, all agreeing
)n particular^-, and who had not the pol-
fibiliry of being conne£lcd ; fo that, if
the wotld ftiould deem Madawg's emi-
gration too wondtrful to be ciediicdi

yet it would be full as extraordinary,
that there ihould be fuch coincidence m
the various narratives, fuppoftng.it were
falfe. But in order to eftablifii the mat-
ter fully, and to procure information,
it is in agitation to form a plan, fQp-
ported by Tubfcription, for fending over
one or more perfons properly quali^ed ;
and it is to be hoped that many of your
leaders, Mr. Urban, will be ready (o
concur; and, fuppoftng that (hould be
the cafe, they might make known their
intentions to you, if it would not be
trefpalfing too much to give you the
trouble, William Owen.

Mr. Urban, PentonffilU, Aug. 14.

I HAD fome time ago been told that
the Rev. Mr. Jofliua Thomas, of
Leominfter, in Herefordlhire, w^s pof*
feftcd of fomc information refpedting the
Welfli Indians in America: I according-
ly wrote to that gentleman, and defired
him to favour me with what intelligence
he'was able to give me on this fubje£t,
and, in a few days, received from him a
very obliging letter ; of which the foi*
lowing is an extra£t :

• " Liomm/fer, ymly 30, 179 1.

*' The Rev. Thomas Jones, of Nottage,
in the county of Glamorgan, went to Ame-
rica in 1737. His fon Samuel was then three
years df age. He gave him a liberal educa-
tion in Philadelphia, where he took the de-
give of D.D. He (Dr. Samuel Jones) wrote
lately to the Rev. Mr. William Richards, of
Lynn, in Norfolk. In tliat letter he. iay$,
fpeaking of the Madocian Indians, ' the find-
ing of them would be one of the moft joyful
things to roe that could well happen. I tlrfhlc
1 ftiould immediately go among ihem, tho*
I am now turned of fifty-five ; and there are

Welibroen in his company; and that they
informed them of their (kuation as mention-

Filfon*s book. Then Mr. Morgan Edwards
proceeds : * The faid MifTonri river is faid to
ran a courfe of 3,000 miles before it falls in-
to the MiHifippi. Kentucky was difcovered
by one fames M^Bride in 1754. Since the
peace, abundance of people have emigrated
thither. This country was certainly inhabited
by white people many years ago, as appears
by the remains of two regular fortifications^

pair of millitones, &c. all which were un-
known to the Indians. Mr. Fdfon afcnbes
them to the WelQi, who removed from
thence to the Milfouri, as he fuppofes.' Thus
fir Mr. Morg.-m Edwards. As this is a new

In addition to the above account of

P. S. I jcan truly fay with the Rev.
Mr. Thomas, that I have, ever (ince I
remember, heard many anecdotes of
thofe Wellh Indians; of their having
been difcovered occafionally by traders,
milfionaries, foldiers, &c. ; but I am
not able to recolle£t enough of the par*
ticulari of thofe relations : they are
confequently of very little authority;
and I mud not difguft your readers with
fuch things. Yet I cannot helpobferv-
ing, that thofe little anecdotes, though
of obfcure origin, when they fo accu«
mulate as to become the untvcrfal re«
port of a country or peofjle, are worthy
of fome notice.— Mr. Owen and myfelf
had an opportunity lately of confulting
Mr. William Pritchard, bookfcUer and
printer, of PhtiadclpHia, who is now,
or lately was, in London, about the
Welfli Indians. He told us, that he
had often heard of them, and that they
were, in Pennfylvania, univerfaily be-
lieved to be very far Weftward of the
Milfifippi, and that he had often heard
of people that had been aroongft thcoi ;
but the moil paiticular account that he
had received, was what he heard withia
thcfe very few years of Dr. Samuel
Jones (who is mentioned in Mr. Jolhua

I HAVE in my poflieffioii a copy of an
extract 9f a leuer from a celebrated
literary female to a Biographer of Dr.
Johnfon, containing bir account of the
dirpute between the Do^or and M.
Knowles, of which another relation is

fiven in the Gentleman's Magazine for
une la(V. As fome particulars relative
to the principal fubjed^ of the difpute
arc mentioned in the abovefaid letter, it
nay not be improper to infert that part
of it in a future Magazine ) and I
therefore (bbjoin it, for that purpofe.

Permit me now to make a few remarks
on the Salopian corrcfpondent's illiberal
reflexions on a peaceable fe^ of Cbrif"
tuns, of whofe real principles and te-
nets he appears to be in the darkcft ig-
norance j an ignorance which, I doubt
not, will plead his excufe with the ma-
jority of thofc he has fo unjuftly at-
tacked.

From the bigoted malignity of his
flri£lures, I ftrongly fufpeft he is as
much " chafed** with the reading of the
dialogue, as the good Do£ior himfclf
was m his weak and pce?iib fupport of
his part of ii| for weak, indeed, are
t^tn Colof^ Orengthand learning, when
thev aflail the impregnable bulwarks of
italon and of truth.

It has ever been, and I truft ever will
l)e, a maxim with me, to make mvfelf
fully acquainted with the grounds ot the
perfuaitoo and pra6^ice of another, be-
lore i either condemn or approve : and
I am thoroughly convinced it is a maxim
VMhich,if more generally adopted, would
prevent much h-uitlcfs and unproBtable
contention among the proftflbrs of
Chriftianity. Had this been attended
to by W. C. I am certain there would
have been no caufe for this reply ; bur,
jt vutt decipif diiipiatur t and there is a
certain air of High Church authority
and domination pervading the whole
letter, which abfolutely precludes en-
quiry, and, with anaflt£lation of fov«-
reign contempt, exchanges candid re-
fearch for groundiefs ailcrtion, or wilful
mifreprefeotation. What kind of Qua-
kers this doughty polemiik has met
with, or by what arguments he contrives'
10 have them fo ** properly dealt 'with^**
I cannot dcvife ; but 1 am bold to tslTert,
th^ it is utttrly impoHible lor him, or
any other vcdtHanical fnphiA whatever,
let his acutenefs be what it may, to
ellablifli a fingle proof of the mo& re-
ti)<)te leodcnc) 10 Dtifm in the dodlrines,
teoecs, or prM^iccs, oi the ^ topic called

Quakers* I am equally ready to affert
and proTC, that there is no body of
ChriAians, whofe care is more uniform-
ly extended to lay the foundation of the
religion and education of all its mem*
bers on the facred Scriptures of troth.
And I have no doubt, if thofe, who
think to exalt their own opinions by de-
faming thofe of others, would take the
pains of a candid and unprejudiced en-
quiry, they would difcover, that it is
the humble endeavour, and ardent wifli,
of the Societv colle^ivcly, to make
their tenets ana pra£^ice quadrate with
the divine doctrine and example of onr
Saviour 'Jefus Chrift, as much as is at-
tainable in a ftate of human frailty :
they would alfo clearly fee, that their
faith, in and through him, the true
Head of the Church, is the genuine
fource of their hope and confolation.—
With regard to the unquali6ed and ab-
furd aflertion, that " this fubtile Ml
was originally fyftematiied by the Je*
fuits," It is aimofl ridiculous to notice
it : but I call upon him to prove it, by
any hiftorical or other evidence what-
ever. It is not my wi(h or intention to
defend my principles by comparifon
with thofe of others ; but I appeal to
the impartial readers of the Gentleman's
Magazine, for their decifion, whether
or not the profeflion and pra£tice of the
people called Quakers have been inju-
rious ro the religious and moral intereBs
of fociety in general ?— I am afraid the
prefent fiate of this country is not par*
ticularly favourable to the propagation
of a (imple and pure religion, free from
the modern pageantry of the Romifh
and other churches j W. C. may there-
fore be affured, there is no great ne-

of. ioTerting their difpute in yoor madltated
worky the Lifs of Dr. Johnfon, it is necef-
brf that fomething fhould be known con-
cerning the young perfon who was the fub-
jedl of it. Mils Jenny Harry was, for ihe
is ao more, the daughter of i rich planter
hi the Wefl Indies, who fent her to Eng-
land, to receive her education inthehoufe
oC his friend Mr. — -, where an ingenious
Qiiaker lady> Mrs. Knowles, was Tir^uently
a vifitor. This gentleman aiiedled wit, and
was perpetually rallying Mrs. K. on the fub-
je^ of her Quaker principles, in the pre*
fence of the young, gentle, and ingenuous
Mifs Harry ; who, ac the age of eighteen,
had received what is called a proper and po-
lite education, witliout being inftru^ted in
the nature and grounds of her religious be-
lief. Mrs. K. was often led into a ferious
defence of her devotional opinions, upoa
thofe vifits at Bam Elms. You know with
what clear and graceful eloquence fhe fpeaks
on every fubje^ The antagontfts were
ihallow theologilb, and oppofed only a
pointlefs raillery to duly and kmg-ftodied
reafoning upon' the precepts of Scripture, de-
livered in perfuafive accenu and harmonious
language. Without any delign of making a
pr^yte, (he gained one. Mils Harry
grew very ferious, and medicated perpetually
on all that had dropped from the lips of her
Quaker friend, till it appeared to her, that
Qtiakerifm was true Chriftianity. Believing
this, (he thought it her duty to join (at every
hazard of woridly intered) that clafs of wor-
(hipers. On declaring thcfe fentiments, fe-
veral ingenious Clergymen were employed
to argue with her; but we all know the
force of firft imprelfions in theology, and
Mrs. K's arguments were the firft flic had
lifteneil to on this important theme. This
young lady was reafoneJ with, and threat-
ened, in vain ; (be perfiAed in refigning her
fptendid expe^ations, (or what appeared to
her the path of duty. Her father, on being
maJe acquainted with her change of princi-
ples, informed her, that (he might chufe be-
tween one hundred thnufand pounds, with
his favour, if (he continued a Churchwoman,
or two thoufand pounds, if (he embraced the
Quaker tenets. She lamented her father's
diipleafure, but thanked him for the pecu-
niary alternative ; affuring him, it included
all tier wiihes in refpeA to ll&rtune. She
fooo after kft her g«artlian*s houfe, and
^>oarded in that of Mrs. Knbwles ; to whom
(he often obferved, that Dr. Johnfun's djf-
pleafure, whom (he had often feen at her
guardian's houfe, and who had always been
(bo J of her, was annons the greateft mortifi-
t»s,\iim of her then fituation : and once (he
came Iiome in tears, and told her friend (he
had ract Dr. Johnfon in the (Ireei, and had
▼•mured to alk him how he did, but that he
would not deign to fpeak to her, and paffed
fcomfuUy on : (he added, " You and he are

at Mr. Duty's, and th^ convtHation after

of adminiAeriog the Apoftolical rite of

the fame compendiovs way. There is no
recolledion of any perfon's finding fault
with it, except the brother of an author
whom the learned Prelate had formerly
difparaged. This manner of confirming
is DO more contrary to the Rubrick, than,
when feveral children are at the fame
time brought 'to the font (where only^
unlefs in 'imminent and apparent danger

rather than tedioufly for each feparately,
which the ffri6teft adherers to the Com-

The zeal of our Diocefaa on this im-

[Sep*,

chit fubjc£l| but, IciTing them to fpeak
for themrelyet, I chufc rather to take
noticeof what the late Dr.S.Johnfon has
faid of it, in hit *< Livet of the Englifh
Poett;** who telltut, that <' the difficulty
€>f feulinePrior't birth-place it [^reat. In
the Repifter of hit College he it callH,
at hit admifnon, by the Preiidenr, Mat*
rhew Prtor, of Winbum, to ^{iddle»
fex; by himfclf, next dav* Matthew
Prior, of Dorfetihire ; io which county,
not in Middlefex, Winburn, or Wicn-
borne, at it ftandt in the Fiilari, it
found. When he ftood candidate for
his fellowfliip, five years afterwards, he
was regiAcred again by himfelf as of
Middlefex." Here then is a manifeft
contradi^ion ; which I fliall endeavour
to reconcile as I go along. You are to
undcrftand then, that, by the Sututes
of St. John's College, Cambridge (of
which iociety Prior was a member), no
more than two perfont of any one parti-
cular county can be admitted Fcllowt.
It is not unfair then to hazard a conjec-
ture, that, at the time of Prior's admif*
fion, the two Dorfetfliire Fellowihips
^i^ere filled up, and probably no vacancy
for thai county was likely to happen for
fome years to come, which was not the
cafe with Middlefex; and that, confe-
^uently, Prior's friends, at the time of
bis entry, forefeeing this difficulty,
thought it prudent to regiOer him of
Middlefex; and that Prior himfelf
(though he had before (lyled himfelf of
Dorfetfhire, yet), when he came after-
wards to fit for a Fcllow(hip, found it
unavoidably and abfolutely ncceflfary to
ibilow their example, and adopt the
fame deception i becaufe, othcrwife, he
▼ery well knew he could not pollibly
fucceed in his cle£lion.

Having thus endeavoured to account
for the feeming contradiction in the
terms of Prior's admiffion into College,
and why, when he flood candidate for a
Fellowfliip, he regiftered himfelf of
Middlefex, I ikail now go on to ac-
<|ttaint you with fome reafbns which
Arongly induce me to believe, that the
antient and refpe£^able town of Wim-
born-Minder, in Dorfetihire, hat the
bonour of being the birth-place of this
celebrated poet. Mr. Hutchins, in his
Hiftory of Dorfetfliire, obferves, that
*' it is highly probable Matthew Prior,
an eminent flatefman, and one of the
moft famous poets of his age, was born
at Wimbomt. Tradition fays, that he
was firH educated at the grammar- fchool
^hcrv. He docs not occur in the pariih

RcgiAer indeed, his parents being fup-
pofed to be Diflenters, which he inti«
mates in his Epiflle to Fleetwood Shep-»
herd, efq.

« f $0 at the bam of loud Non>eoni
Where with my grannam 1 have gone."

Mr. Hutchins goes on with faying, that^
^* about 17x7, one Prior, of Godmao*
fi«n, a labouring man, and living ii^
1755, declared to a company of gentle-
inen, where he (Mr. Hutchins) was
prefent, that he was Mr. Prior's firft
coufin, and remembered his going to
Wimborne to vifit him, and afterwards
heard that he became a great man.—
The learned Thomas Baker, BD. once
Fellow of St. John's College, informed
Mr. Browne Willis, that he was born
at Wimborne of mean parents."
> To this account given by Mr, Hutch-
ins, which appears to me to carry great
weight with it, I muft have leave to
add, that the late Mr. Nicholas Ruflell,
a perfon of an inquifiiive turn, an J great
veracity, frequently aifured me, that Iia
very well remembered an old woman,
rcfident in Wimborne, who was a Dif-
fenter, and a near relation of Matthew
Prior's, but who wrot^ her name Priui,
not Pritrf and infilled that the former
was the right name of the family, though
her coufin, for what reafon fije knew
not, unlcfs it was to hide the meannefs
of his parentage, had thought fit to al-
ter it to the latter.

Thus much I have tliought fit to
mention relative to the place of Prior's
biah, abcur which there has been fo
much ink (bed. If you think Thave,
in any degree, cleared up the matter,
you are at liberty to infert this tetter in
your valuable publication ; if not, you
cannot be at a lofs how to difpofc of it.

JOHli WILSON, the firft who at-
tempted a fyfteroacic arrangement of the
indigenous plants of Great Biitain in the
Bnglilh language, was born in Long-
(Icdda), near Kendal, in Weftmorehno,,
fome time in the year 1696. He was by
trade a iboe>maker, and may be ranked
amoogft the few who, in every age, dif*
tinguilh thcmlelves from* the roafs' of
mankind by their fcientific and literary
accoropliifamenis without the advantages
of a liberal education. The fuccefs of
his firA calling does not appasr to have-
been great, as perhaps he never followed,
ft in a' higher capacity than that of a*
journeyman. However this may be, he
exchanged it, for the more lucrative em-
ployment of a baker, foon enough to af*
fbrd bis family the common oonvenien**
cies of life I the profits of hit new bufi-
neif fupportiog him in circuiBflancet
which, though not affluent, were far fo*
periov to the abje^ poverty he is faid to
nave experienced by the author of the
Britiih Topography. This writer, a*
mongft other miftakes undoubtedly occa*
ftoned by falfe infermation» has reoorded
an anecdote of him, which it the fibri*
Cation of one of thofe inventive geniufe»
who are more partial to a good tale than
attentive to the truth.- He acquaints us^
that Wilfon was fo intent on the purfutc
of his favourite (ludy, as once to be
tempted to fell a cow, the fupport of hir
houie, in order to procure ne meant of
purchaiing Biforrifon^ voluminous work y
and that this abford de6gn would have
certainlv been put in executioo, had not^
a neighbouring lady prefentcd him with
the t^k, and by^ her gcneroiky refcuai
the infatuated boianift from voUmtary^
ruin. The (lory is (Inking, but wants
authenriciiy; and is abfolutely contra*'
di£led by authority that eanooc be dif*
puted. At the time when Wilfon fic*
died botany, the knowledge of fyftent
was not to be obtained mm En^iii.

whofe method he was a petfeft mafler^.
were all ia L^iaiu. This ctrewmftance

stakes it eYident, thit he acquired an ac-
vuaiouoce with the language of his au*
ttioTp capkble of f^iviog him a complete
klea of the fubjedr The means by
which he arriTcd at this profrcieocy are
ftoc knoVQ at prefenr^ and though iuch
an atteaijiry roede by an illiterate man,
may appear to be attended with infuper-
able dificulties to thofe who have en-
joyed a regular education, yet the expe-
riment has been fre<^uently made, aod
Ins been almoft as frc<^uemly fuccefsful.
Ifo one ought to be lurpriied with the
apparent impo4!ibilitie» that perfeveranee
conftantlv vanquiflies, when properly fir*
mutated by the loire of knowledge. The
|R>wers of indufhy are not to bt deter-
mined by fpeculation t they are ften and
vnderftood by their effe£^$ i it is this ta^
lent alone that forms the bafis of genius,
and diftineuiihes a man of abilities &om
the reft of his kind.

It was no eafy undlrtaking to acquire
the reputation of an expert and accurate
botanttt before Linn^u^'s admirable
method of difcriminatingfpcciesgave the
fcience fo c(7ential an improveme^

The fnhjcQt of the prefent ciJay over-
aame the diAcu4fies infeparable from the
tnctquize, and merited the chara^cr
from his intimate acquaintance with the
vegeuble produ^ons of the North of
fio^land. But theie is good reafon to
believe that he was not entirely felf-
caught f for, under the article CtntumOi
hit accidentally mentions his intcrcourle
•n the fubjea with Mr, Fitz-Robertt,
who formerly reiided in the neighbour*
iMod of Keodalt and was known to Pet-
ti Yer and Ray i his name occurs in the

the ardour a fick roan can experience.^
Freih air, and moderate exercife, wer«
the be ft palliatiTes of his cruel difeafe r
thus he was tempted to amofc the Unget'^
ing hours of (ickaefs with frequent ex«*
curlions in the more farourable parts of
the year, 9* oft as his health would per-'
OMt { and, under the preifure of an xm^
propitious diforder, explored the marihcs,
and crsn the hilh, of his native county^
being often accompanied by fach of hit
intimates as were, partial to botany, or
defirous of beholding tbofe uncomnKMt
fccnes of Nature that can.only be enjoyed
in mountainoui countries.

The fingularity of lus converfataos
contributed not a little to the gratification
of hit curioficy f for he was a diligent
obferver of manners and opinions, and
delircrcd his fentimcnts with unreferredf
freedom. * His difcourfe abounded witb
remarks, which were generally pertinent^
and frequently original : many of hi»
fcntentious expreftioas are ftill remem*^
bered by his neighbours and oontempora^
ries» One of thefe defcnrea recording,
as it ftiews that his knowledge of botany
was Hot confined to the native prodiic-*
tion5 of £ngUnd* Being once in th»
county of Durham, he was introduceik
to a prrfon who toob much pleafure is
the cultivation of rare plants- This roao,
judging of his abilities by his appear*
ance, and perhj4>s expeding to increaf«
his own reputation by an eafy vi^ry
over one be had heard commended w
much, challenged him to a trial of (kill %
and, in the courfe of it^ treated his ftran-

SynopBs of the latter gentleman. Tha ger with' a degree of difrefpefk that pro*

Bumerous places of growth, of the rarer
nlaou added by Willon to thoiie found in
former cataldiguesy (hew how diligently
he cuki rated the pra6lical pan of bo-
tany.

It will appear a matter of furprifc, to

voked his refentment, and prompted hiii»
to give an inftance of his fuperiority..
Accordingly, after naming reoft of the
rarities contained in the garden, and re*
ferriog to authors where they are de-
icribed, he i» his turn plucked a wild

Inch at aie ignorant of his manner of herb, growings in a negle^d fpot, and

lUty how a mechanick could fpare a very
large portion of time from engagements
which ought to engcofs the attention of
tteo in low circumftances, for the fole
piirpo(e of devoting it to the curious but
«npfodu£HTe refearches of a naturalift*
On this account it is proper to rem ark ,
that the buiincft of a baker was princi*

GUy nranaged by his wife, and that a
ag indifpofitjoa rendered him unBt for
m fcdentarv employment. He was af-
§i£^ed witn a revere afthma for many

prefeotsd it to his opponent^ who endea**
voured to get clear of the diflieulty bf
pronouncing it a weed { but Wiifon im-
mediately replied, a weed ia a term of
Art, not a produAion of Nature : add<^
ing, that the explanation proved hit an*
tagonift to be a gardener, not a botaiiiA»
Thus the conteft ended..

Thefe qualities^ fb uncocmiion la a»

when travailing in the line of his pro-

inr^-^an employment that left him at full
libeitjr to examine the veipetable produc-
taona tA the different places viHted by
them, but it is difficult to determine.

to accommodate his friends, who were
Bumerous in thofe counties , and for whofe
life the book was chiefly intended i how*
^cr, it appears fiom the volume itfelf,
Ihar he was not entirely unacquainted
with the South of England. This woik
ivas publiflied in the year 1744; it oom*
prebends that part of Rav's method that
treats of the more perfc^l herbs, be^in«
ain^ at the fourth %tmtis, or clafs, and
€ndmg with the twenty-fixth. He pro-
siifes, in the preface, to comphat the
performance at a future period, provided
Lis firft attempt fliould meet with a fa*
vourabie teception from the publick ; but
did not live to fulfil his promife, being
prevented by indifpoficion from finifhing
n fecond volume, which was intended to
contain the Fungi| Mofles, Gralfes, and
Trees,

He died July 15, 1751, after lingering
through the la(l three or four years ot
life in a date of debility that rendered
him unBt for any undenaking of the
kind* Some papers left by him on the
fubje£k paifed into the hands of Mr.
SlacKy printer at NewcaAIe-upon-Tyne,
but were never publifhcd. Among thefe
were fome drawings, but it is not cer-
tain whether they were reprefentaiions of
rare plants, or ngures intended to illuf*
trate the technical part of the fcicnce.

death, and very foon fuppianted all pre-

THE beautiful fuuationof Abbeville,
the good hait, the violent heat, and the
tranquillity ot the town, i*«d}iccd me to

Here I met with on^ of the late Mr.

liis pious teacher's portrait lo pfteo, that
it enabled him to become a fraudulent
bankrupt in London, and now to be the
coach-painter of AbbeviHc.

THE fuficriogs of humanity at all limi-t,
and at all ieafons, loudly call forth
t\\t compaifion of the generous and hu-
ftianej but when unprctef^td you'h, when
an injured, beauteous ft male, is the ob-
je£l of commiferatioo, what genuiuc fen
of freedom will icfule il^ uibute of a
palling tear?

Your valuable Magazine has long been
looked* up to by thouUnds, as the recep-
tacle of whacfotvcr may bid fair to cul-
tivate genius, to improre the undcrHand-
ing, or to amend the heart. The Anti-
quary looks to it with an eye to atriftaccc

towards fatisfytng his curiofity ; the Phi«
lofopher adverts to it as a key to know-
ledge ; the Man of Feeling perufes it,
and often 6nds tbereio the faireft fuhjedt
on which to exeretfe the emotions ot Icn*
fibility. Struck with the truth of tfait
aiTcrtion, permit me to addrefs myfclf to
the hearts only of yotir readers, whilft t
leave ic to your other numerous corrc-
fpondenis to in(lru£l their minds.

Accident fubmitred the following reci-
tal to my perufal. The pitiabTeocfs,
would I could fay the novelty, of the

forced a figh. I wilh it had been in my
power to prefent you with it fooner.-?
However, though the young writer was a

fome the whole may appear fi6lion, iince
fo long palTcd over in fitence ; the tale \^f^
ncverthclefs, every fvlfablc fadl : but my
youthful friend never thought of pre*
tenting to the public eye, what ftnicic
the feelings of innocence as difagreeable
and inhuman.— The iubje£l i$ as foU

TuefJay, the 7th of July, 1789, (Ctys my
young friend,) I was at tlie City of LoodcMi

When I went down ftairs, I (aw a very in-

firom thence I perceived the founds proceed-
ed. And there I faw a young woman out
of her mind, apparently about eighteen years
of age. She liad a pretty bouquet ot flowers
in her hand ; (he was foiting them, and fmg-
ing at the fame time : this reminded me of a
young lady iL-imed Opheha, in Hamlet. The
flowei'S were intemied, die faid, for her Lv-
ver. The partiail.irs I could collect con-
ceniJng her were very few, as fitllows. She
•was fcdiiced fiom hu.nrtMe parents when veiy

(he was kept fome tixe, but hnw long I
could no: ex«i^ly learn. The man who per-
foaded her to elope wkh him, finding that
ihe bore no living'fruits of tlietr loves, cru-
elly abandoned her. Th« confotfuence of
which inhuman unexpected ufage was the
lofs of lier fenfes. She had been fince con-

on his part, the Do^or included in his
circle all the kings, miniBers, and con-
fuls abroad, for the prefervation of their
families and vifitors.

A few private gentlemen in different
counties, moved by generous feelings
for the objeds loft by ignorance and
negligence, have applied to printing*
houfes, and purchafed fome hundred
copies of the Do6ior's inftru£tions,
which they have freely given away to all
around them. And from thefe endea-
▼ours feveral Humane Societies have
been inftituted in the country. But
thefe not contriving any more fuflicient
provifion of aid to the unfortunate, have
applied to the London Humane Society
for their rules of management; and
thence being com poled or direfled by
the fame clafs of perfons, have proceed-
ed dire^ly in their confined footfteps ;
the cffe6k of which is, that, like them,
they alienate common feeling from the
•obje6l, and direct attention only to a
few cafes, foch as drowning, hanging,
and fuffbcating by noxious vapour and
damps, cafualties having violent caufes,
and happening out of doors j while this
falutary pradice extends its efficacy to
all cafes of fudden death, at the appear-
ance of which nurfes and -menial fer-
▼ants can apply proper means, and im-
mediately relieve the futferer. But of
thefe numerous accidents within doors,
the Humane Societies, and indeed mMiy
of the faculty, take no notice. The Re*
ports of the London Society themfelves
contirm this partial fucceis ; for the
i)ateii)e^t Uft publiflicd announces, from
its mlHtution in 1774 to the prefent

for of the aggregated two numbers of
1583 perfonf, affilled daring 17 years
in London, the French, not medical
men, fit the abovementioned rata of fix
recoveries out of feven treated, would
have refcued 1357.

It is little to the honour of our coua*
try, that a matter of (uch general, coa»
cern meets with more attention abroad
than here. The DoAor is favoured
with anfwers from perfons in eminenc
ftationf in the Weft Indies, and the re«
fpe^live States in America, approving
his zealous proceedings, and promifme
to promote his views. To their praiie
muft be added, that their Humane So*
cicties are upon a more liberal plan
than ours.

The obftruAion artfully oppoicd to
the indultrious dilTemination of the
pradice in this country, by a deter-
mined aifumption, has been made and
continued in the advertifements, bills,
dire£^ions, and other publications, of
the London Humane Society. The
Ample, plain means, eafily learned, and
readily applied by perfons of the mean*
eft abilities, are reprefcoted as conne6t-
ed with medical knowledge, and btdt
adminiAered by medical hands, which
evidently they are not. The manner of
ftating them, and the dire£lion to the
difcoverers of accidents to go immedi-
ately in queft of a medical aftiflanr, a*
bandoning the body for the fake ot ob-
taining a reward, have, by crafty pro*
ceeding, effe6lually perfuaded the com*
mon people that they are not to iiKddle,
but believe themfelves incapable of per-
forming the cures. Thus have they
taken the treatment into their owa
hands, while they cannot but be con*
fcious that their number is not equal ta
the variety of cafualties, and that thofe
very medical afliftanis, they name to be
called, are not dire£lly to be found, be-
caufe they are hourly profeffionally em*
ployed among their patients } nevcrthe-
lels, they fupprefs the aid of that multi*
tude of hands which is equal to the
quantity of accidents, and leave the fuf-
fcrers unal!iAcd at the critical mument
that aid might reft ore ihem, when the
fmall remains of life are iu the moft
fleeting ftate.

Lords, tbefe are other points in this
oath which Roman Catholicks, Ithinky
nuft fcruplc. 1 believe the gentlemen
of the Catholic Committee, who de-
clared tbemfelvcs ready to take this
oath, will fee fome difficulty in particu-
lar parts of Jt, when they con(ider the
full import of certain terms. But, my
Lords, 1 (hall go no further at prefent
in this detail} 1 will only fav in gene-
ral, that there are parts of the oath
which I myfclf would lefufe to take.

My Lords, I murt obfcrve, that the
gentlemen of the Cuholtc Committee,
and the party that ;» )> ^vi'h them, who
fcruple no part of :hij oath, declare that
tlicy, equally with chj fciupulous party,
maintain the Pope's tpirttual fupremacy ;
they are (hocked, that the dcni4i of it
Ihould be imputed to tham. Your
Lordfhips, therefore, prrccive that the
two parties aic pcrft6t!y equal in the
decree of aScdion, or difaffeftion, take
it which way yop will, that rhey bear
to the Guvernroenc of the conntry.
Therefore, I cannot fpe upon what
principle a relief, which if granted to
the one, (bould be denied to the other.

It may be laid, this relief is a matter,
not of right, but of mere grace and fi-
▼our \ and that the pcrfon who confers
a favour may, at his own will and pica-
furc, prefcnbe the conditions on which
be will bellow it. Bur, my Lords, the
favours of a Government are furcly 10
be difpenfed by fome rule of diilribu-
tion, and that rule ought to be an equal
one. My Lords, it ought not to be a
rule of arbitrary ele^ion and reproba-
tion, making a diftin6lipn of perfous,
where thcie is no difference of charac-
ter, in the degree of civil merit.

My Lords, I have heard it faid, not
in this Houli?, but out of doors, that
the LegiOature has nothmg^to do with
the difputes of thefe people amoiig
thcmfelves: that it mav be rather an
objc£^ of good policy to promote and in-
cicatc their diTiHoas, ai ii may be a

means of weakening the (Irengtb oC^be
ptrrv.

My Lords, tbe maximy Svtdi it im*
ptra, if it be ever wile, is wife only ia
defpotical gbvernments. My Lords, if
it be wife in fuch governments, it is be*
catife fuch governments are radically
unjuft i the relation of the governor and
the governed to each other being that of
enemies. But in governmenu fuch at
this, under which we have the happi*
nefs to live, it is a wicked maxima hk
our Conflitution, the promoting of the
happinefs of the governed is not onXf
the duty but the aAual objeA of Go*
vtrnmenr, and tbe aim of all its apera*
tions and 'of all its meafures, lo fuch a
government union aid harmony amoagft
citizens of aH defcriptions is to be de-
fired, and it (hould be the endeavour of
the Government to promote it, as the
means of binding the love and affec-
Uons of all to the Conflitution.

But, my Lords, admitting, for a mo*
ment,, that we have nothing to do wiclk
the difpures of thcfc people amoor
thcmfelves, yet your Lordlbips furely
have to do with the juftice and equity of
your own proceedings. Now confider^
my Lords. ' lipon what principle weie
the penal laws againlt the Roman Ca*
tholicks firft introduced } Certainly up.
on this principle, that the Roman Ca-
tholicks in general were difatifedcd fub-
}t€t%. Upon what principle would the
Legifl^ture now relieve any Roman Ca*
th( Itcks from thofe laws? Certainly^
my Li rds, upon this principle, that the
Leg'ilncure acquets thofe, to whom it
extends the relief, of the crime and
fulpicion of difafTeflion. Upon what
principle is the relief, tvhich is extended
to fome, with-held from others? Cer*
tainly upon no juft principle but tbif,
that thole others iiill lie, iu the eye of
the Legidature, under a fufpicion of
di(affe6tion. Thus, mv Lords, by
pairing a law wbich will gift only a
partial relief, you will impreft a (ligma
of difaflfedion upon the party not re-
lieved; which, in my judgement, if
there be no ground for fufpeSing them,
would be the height of cruelty and in*
juflice.

But, my Lords, cive me leave to (ay,
that though your Lordlhips would in-

ther, amon&ft the complaints that occur m
real life, there are not as great a number of
this irregular and unfixed kind as of thofe to
which one can, with ftriA propriety, apply
tlie name which diftingoifhes any regular
and fixed difeafe } Some pradlitioners, in-
deed, fave themfelves from all difficulty, by
defcribing difeafes in fuch a loofe and inac-
curate manner, and aligning to thorn foch
numerous and various fympton»s, tliat their
Cf^rms become .quite vague and transferable ;
fo that one fet of fymptoms, according to
their way of going to work, mny either de-
note the firil fpecies of one difeafe, the la(l
of another, or the middle fpecies of a ihii-d.
But this is multiplying wmds without mean-
ing, and loading the memory without in-
fnm'ng the judscment^

** The importance of the diagnoftio is, that
it influences the pra^ical pan of phyfick ; .
for when the phyf)ci.in has decided on the

refer it to the cUfs to which it belongs. This
is not, however, the c^ife. Cutaneous dif-
eafes,, though accompanied with eruptions,
are as little underiluotl among phyficians as
any clafs whittever. This may be, in part,
owing to their variety anJ fciiiuucnefsj but
it is probably more owing to the want of a'-
tentlve nnd accurate obfervation, and to ttia
confounding various and different things na-
iler one name.

confined to one diftemper, is, in the com-
mon laiiguage of mankind, and even in that
of many pr»«6litioners of phyfick, applied to

which aife^ the (kn; for wliat eruption
may not be fatisfaiftorily accounted for by
faying that it proceeds frion a fcubuiic

Relief and Emphynunt of tbe Poor f drawn
up in tbi Ttor 1697, by Mr. John Locke,
one of tbi ortgma/ CmmiJ/iontrt of tbat Board {
witb Notes by tbe Bditor, Svo,

TO obviate the diftredTcs in which
the county of Lincoln was found to be
involved at the conclulion of the laft
war, the magiftrates of the Snuthern
diftnd, at their Michaelmas quarter-
feliion, held at Louth, in 1783, thought
proper to ena^ certain regulations,
which they agreed to purfue in ihc ex*
ercife of their difcreiional controul over
the poor. Thefe confifted of the three
following articles:

1. That the overfeer (hould purchafe
ftock and materials, and provide proper
and convenient places, in which the
poor might work.

2. That no relief ihould be granted
in money till the perfon aiking for ic
had done fuch work as he or ihe was
capable of.

3. To d\re£k that all poor children
within their diftri^ (except in cafes of
ficknefs) (hould be taught to knit btfom
they were fix, and to Ipm before they
were nine years of age.

A fociety afterwards was formed to
concur with thefe defigns, by propoling
re%vards to infant indullry. Their be-
nevolent exertions have been fo fuccelT*
ful, that, *' upon taking a general aver-
** age, it is clearly proved, that 13$
** children, between it and is yeoa of
" age, have, in ten moutbj, taken in the
** depth of the five lalt winters, earned
'* the Turn of 680I. 31. 3d. or half a

OF the importance of tranflations
from anticnt writers it would be ufelefsy
at the prefept day, to enter into any
elaborate dtfcuflion. Sone few indivi*
duals of the rid fchools may be yet re*
mainingy who view them with a jealous
eye, thinking tliat they ob!Vu£l the
difcovery of the fnuices of the Httico*
nian Nijc but theii value feems fuffi*
cientty determined by the Rattenng re-
ception which ihey more than ever
meet with from all ranks of people and
defcriptions of readers. With refpe^t
to the antient pucts, it has ever been,
and ever will be., a matter of argurutnt
and difpute, whether the haimony of
rhyme, ur the more loleron pac;ng of
blank verfe, is bed calculated to draw
forth the latent energies, and exprefs
the fubtle beauties of the original com-
pofition^. Both have been tried, both
have found adirirers amongll the learn«
cd, the ingenious, and the podte. In
the prefcnt inftance, were we io dif*
pofcd, the limits to which we are con-
fined would ncceflfarilv prevent our ex-
patiating on a fubje^ upon which fo
much ttiH remains to be (aid. It is our
wi(h to Ihew a liberal candour, to do
juftice to learned mduftry, and rather
to give our varioui readers opportunity
of deciding for themfclves, bv placing
the talents of the author fairly before
them, than to antedate either tiieir fa-
vour or their cenfuic, by praile indif-
criminately bellowed, or by invidiouily
feJe^ling and commenting upon thoie
imperfeaions and biemiihes in(cparable
from every human woik. The name
of pope muft Oe dear to every lover of •
the Mules i and his verfioo of Homer,
in paiuculnr, will ever be conlidered as
an admirable effort of a mind adorned
with ail the graces of fcience. But nei-
ther is Mr* Cowper in a ?cry infciior

degree entitled to our efteem, as having
contributed to our delight, and pro*
moted our inHru^lion, by bis chaise,
moral, and animated Mufe. We iru^
that he will not be offt nded if, in our
prog re fs through the work before us,
we incidentally point out to animadver«
(ion what may appear to us defcrving of
revifion, and capable of improvement*
We do not mean, in anv inAance, to
compare Mr. Cowper's Homer with
that of Mr. Pope, confidtring the tivo
works as totally diAin£l, thus avoiding
the introduction of two names into io«
vidious competition, which we almoU
equally revere and love.

Mr. Cowper's work is u(hcred in by
a well-written and vtry Icriiile preface,
in which he m kes tht rtatici acquaint*
ed with h\% defiifn, uh:cn is, to exhibit
a traoflat in of H< ti.e' in bi.nk vcrfc,
as moft (uuabic to his putpote; a tianf-
lation clofe, hut i:ot to clote as to be
fcrvile,— free, out not (o fitc as to be
licentious. The idea is exccILnr, and
calculated to exhibit, w;>at very Icidoia
has jippe<«rcd, a j-anflat'on ytxh \ in i:s
kind... The d thcu (y is, to pnferve lb
exa£l an equiliOrium bet cen energy
and harmony, that neither may be in*
jured at the expcoce of the other j lor
of what vaiue wou d be a tranil4cion of
Honiei that warned energy, or of. any
poet that war^tcd h nmony ? Mr. Cuv^-
per has favoured :he pLoi'ick with fpc-'
omens of blank verle cnniitnrly difv.n-
guiihed by bi^h thcle qualities t but
perhaps it will appear, in examining his
Homer, that his commendable defire of
retaining the (Irength of his original
has uiade him lefs attentive to that
fweetnels and melody which the Greek
language polTcil'es beyond ail others,
but of which our own is (ufficitatly
cap'ible.

Mr. Cowper fears riot " judges fami*
** liar with origtnat liomir.** We ob«
je£t to the exprclhon as quaint, fiiff»
and unutuai. There is a certain normm

FROM the llrong affinity of gold and
filvcr to mercury, amalgamatioB hat
long been knowB as oBe ready method
of feparatin^ them from earthy roat-
teri, in which they are imbedded. It
hat long been praflifed by the Spa*
niardt in South America, who, for that
purpofe, have generally exported great
quantities of quiekfilver from Europe,
and particularly from their own rich
mine of Atmaden. Cold amalgamation,
however, as ufually employed by them,
has been confidered by the mineralogies
of Europe as a (low and difadvantageout
procefs { and it wat regarded as a for-
tunate difcovery when Alonao Barba
accidentally^ found out the means of
amalgamating in boiling water 1 in which
way the pulverized matter was found to
give out at much gold or fiWer to the
mercury, in a^ivcn number of hours,
as by the former method in as manj
dayt.

Still a great and heavy expeace arofc
from the confumption of fuel, the in«
Aruments for trituration, and the cob*
ftru£lioB and wear of the copper veffelt
in which the boiling was carried on*
At length. Baron Inigo Bom, by the
conftru&ion of wooden cylindrical
chums, with perpendicular piftons, laid
over with copper ibeeting, and, by a
crank motion, agitated quickly up and
down, has contrived to produce fo
flrong a trituration as to render the cold
amalgamation more effcdlual and expe*
ditious than the hot, without having
the fame inconveniences. Indeed,
though the ores are put cold into the
cylinders, they foon heat very conlider*
ably, in conkquence of the quick tritu-
ration and rapid motion of the piAons.

This work is important to all who
are concerned with mines. It contains

For inll^nce, he would call up a hoy and aflc

wtnrfd be no net- d of a mafter to tench him.*'
Ii is, however, but jv.ltice to the memory of
Mr. Hunter to mention, that, tlKWjgh he
wight err in being too fcvcie, the fchool of
J-ichfi'iM was very refpe<itable in his time.
The Lite Dr. Taylor, piebendaiyof Wert-
ininftcr, who was educated under him, told

that his ufhers were mod of them men of

how much he owed to Mr. Hunter. Mr.

quired fo accurate a knowledge of Latin, in
which, 1 believe, he was exceeded by no

owing to their mother's flri^ ditcipline and

Shakfpeare*b lines, a little varied, " Rod, t
will htioour thte for this thy duty." That
fuperiority over his fellows, which he m.iin-

. tained whh fo much dignity in his match
through life, was not alhimed from vairty
and odet station, but was the natural and
conl!ant ertedl ot thofc extraordinary powers
ot mind, of which hr could not but be co{>-
fcious by companfon; the intelletflual dif-
ference, which, in other cafes of companfon
of characters, is often a matter of undecided
conteil, being as clear, in his cafe, as 'lie fu-
periority of ftature in fome men above others.
Johnfon did not ftrut or (land on tip-toe ;
he only did not ftoop. From his earlieft
years his fuperiority was perceived and ac-
knowledged. He was from tlie begiiming

low, Mr. Hedor, has obligingly fumi(hed
me with many particulars of his boyi(h days;
and allured me, that l>e never knew him
coi rented at fchool but for talking and ui-
veiting other buys from their bufincfs. He
fecnr.ed to learn by intuition ; for though in-
dolence and pro^radination were inherent in
hi^ conAitution, whenever he made an ex-

MINUTES OF tHi PROCEEDINGS op thi NATIONAL ASSEMbLV of

FRANCE ; (ontinutd from p. 765.

Sundttf^ A LETTER was read from the
yfmiz%, XX Commillioners appointed lo
enquire into die (lace of the Depailments du
Nurd, du Pays de Calais, and de TAifiie ;
giving an account of Che patriotic difporicion
of Chofc provinces.

On the Report of the Committees of Fo-
reign Affairs, Rcp<»rts» and Enquiry, a De-
cree was patted, allowing the fiec departure
of Foreigners and French merchants* from tlirf
kingdom.

A Decree was paffed, on the Report of
the Committee of Taxes, for regulating Che
mode of levying them.

M. Defmauniers prefented three Propofi-
tions from the Committee of Cooftitution, in
tompliance* with the Decree of the 25th, for
appointing a Governor to Che PrefuropCive
Heir to the Crown.

1. As to the mode of ele^ion.

2. As to Che nature of the oath to be
tedcea.

3. As to the authority which the Gover-
nor fliall prefer ve over his pupil.

Thefe Propofitions occafiooed a long and
incereiling debate. And

A letter from the Minifter of Juilice ter-
minated the meeting ; dating, that he had
received a letter from Dnveyrier, who had
keen fent in a Miniiterio! cliaiadler from
the King to Che Prince of Conde. By this
letter it (bould fcem, that Dnveyrier had
wriuen under foms degree of terror when
he wrote from Worms, as he ilates that he
had been well received ; whereas it has fmce
appeared, that he was treated with the uc-
znoft indignity.

At the commencement of the fitting, M.
Aierim received a letter from Dunkirk, bat-
ing, that Che officers of the regiments there
had fled t* Perns, carrying with them their
cloaths and baggage, and that tliey had en-
deavoured to corrupt the men, but in vain.
An intercepcc«I leuer difcovered a veiy fuf-
picioos correfpondence between M. D'Eoa,
Major of the Regiment, and a Trinitarian
Monk, whom the Major propofcd asCathier.
In his cudody were found fifty tluiufand li-
vres. They likewife fcized twi> hundred
thouiand, which were palVing beyond die
frontiers.

The Members of the Gendarmerie of the
Ifle of France prefiented themfelves at the
bar, where they took the oith.

M. Oermaim terminated the fitting, by a
Report from Che Colonies.

IVedrtifiUy, Jwe 19.] M. di Noailkt, after
having expatiac«!d on the grievances of the
foldiers who had been driven from their
country for want of encouragement, chiefly
on account of their not being of Noble birth,
propofed a I>ecree, the obje^ of which was,
to invite all French ofticers, difperfcd iu fo-

G£RT. Mao. Stftimkr, f?^!*

reign fervice, lo i«um to their country, to
be promoted to military rank, according to
their talents and patriotifm. The confidera-
tion of this Decree the Aflembly referred to
the Miliury Committee.

M. NoaUlti then propofed a Decree, td
fecure uiwn die CivU Lift a penfion to fub-
altcm officers. This Decree was alfo -.2-
ferred as above.

M. Dupont then made a Report, in the
name of the Committees of Conftitution and
Revifion, of what the National AITemhly
had done, and what ftill remained for it to
do. He noticed the approaching termina-
tion of the prefenC Legiflature, and the ne*
ceOity there was that the Conftitutioil
(hould be faaftior.ed by the people ; and, in
conclufion, ^ propofed, that, on the 4th o£
Anguft, there (htnrtd be at Paris a Federation
General, compofed of the National Guards
and the Mayors of all ths Municipalities, in
confirmation of the New Conftitution.

M. Reabeil thought this a dangerous expe*
riment, calculated to retard cheir- labours^
racher than confirm them.

M. Buwt obferveU, that, during harveft,
it was impoffible the Departments fhoiild
fend to Paris their men and their money ;
but that every one ought to take his oath to
the Conftitution in the way moft convenient
to him.

M. D*Andri underftood, that endeavours
liad been ufed foi* revcrfing tljc Decree which
fofpends Eledloral Diets, and that thofe Af*
femblies were about to form another conlli-
tuting body. He deprecated this mode of
briuging the people together before the con-
feqaencesof the King's flight could be known.
War, he faid, might now be .it our gates*
He therefore demanded an adjournment of
the Plan of Confederation, to which M. Du^
pont readily confented.

Tburfdiyj June 30.] M. Vtrniey- made a
Report concerning the organization of the
National Treafury.

The National Aflembly recommended to
the Municipality of Paris the fupcnntendcncft
of a houfe adjoining to the prifons of the
Abbe de St. Germain } and even to pull the
houfe down, if it was found to letficn the
feeority of t!ie faid prifon.

^.dt M.n n prefented a Report, the ob-
jeA of which was to change tlie colours and
itie emblems of the ftandards of all the re*
giment*: of France. The fame was immedi-
ately decreed*

P. 6S5. Dr. Blacklocky wbo is charaAerired
hj Mil Spencc as " one of th« moft extraor-
dinary chara£)ers that has appeared in this or
any other age," was bom at Annan, in Scot-
tend, in 172 1. His father (a poor tradcfman)
and his mother were natives of the county of
Cumberland, where liis paternal ancellors
lived from time immemorial. They gene-
rally followed agricultut e ; and were dillin-
goifhed for a knowledge and humanity above
their f|>here. His father had been in good
circrumftances, but was reduced by a fcrics of
rnisfbrtunes. His mother was daughter of
Mr. Rich. Rae, ail exienHve dealer in cattle,
a conHderable bufmefs in that county; and
was equally efteemed as a man of Artune
and importance. Before young B. was fix
months old, he was totally deprivet) of his
eye-fight by the fmallpox. His father (who
by his fnn*& account of him mu(\ have been a
particularly good roan) had intended to breed
him up to his o^vn or fome' other trade ; but
as this misfortune rendered him incap^dde of
any, all that this worthy parent could do was
to (hew tlie utmoft care and attention that he
was able toward him in fo unfortunate a fi-
tuation; and this goodnefs of his left fo
ilr^ng an impreflioD on the mind of his fon,
that he ever fpoke of it wiih the grcaieft
warmth of gratitude and affed^ion. What
was wanting, to this poor youth, from the
lots of his fight and the narrownefs of his
for{une, feems to have been repaid him in
' the goodnefs ,of his heart, an4 the capacities
of his mind. He very early fhcwcd a.
Urong inclination to poetry in particular.
His father and a few of his other friends
ufed often to divert him by reading; and,
among other things, tlicy read feveral paf-
feges out of our poets. Thefc were his chief
delight and enteitainment. He heard them
DC. only with an uncommon pleafure, but
with a fort of congenial enthufiafm $ and,
from laving and admiring, he foon began
to inaitate them. Among thefe early e(%s
of his genius there was one which is in-
fertcd in his works. U was comi^ofed when
he was but tVvelve yen's old ; and has fome-
thing^ very pretiy in the turn of it ; and very
promifmi^i for one «f ft» tender an age. — In
7 740, his fathec being informed that a kiln
belonging to a fon-in-law of his was ginng
%v3y, his folicitude for his intered made him
venture in below the ribs, to fee where the
failure Uy, when the principal beam coming
down upon liim, with eighty bufhels of malt,
which were upoti the kiln at that time, he
was in one roorajsiu crulhed to death. Young
B. had at this time attained h(3 nineteenth
year; and as this misfortune neceflarily oc-
calioned his falling into more hands than he
liad ever before been ufed to, it was from
that time that ke began, by degrees, to be
fome^lMt more talked of, and hit extra-
ordinary talents more known. About a
year after, iie was (ient for to Edinburgh, by
Wr* SutWQD, m man 9f gi^e^ and oot of

the phyficians in that dty ; who had tl»e .
gootlnefs to fupply him with every thing ne*
ctlfjry for his living and fludying in the
univeifity there. Dr. B. l(x>kcd on tins gen-
tleman as his M^cenai', and tlic poem placed
at the entrance to his works was a tribute o£
gratitude addrelTed to him. in imitation of t\m
firft o*le of Horace to his great patron. He
had got fome rudiments of Latin in his
youth, but could not eafily read a Latin au-
thor till he was near twenty, when Dr. Ste-
venfon put him to a grammar- fckool in
Edinburgh. He afterwards (ludied in that
univerfity; where he not onl/ peifedied
himfelf in Latin, but alfe went through all.
the beft Greek authors with a very lively
pleafure. He was mafter of the French laa- -
guage, wlvch he acquired by his intimacy
in the ^imily of Mr. Provoft Alexander^
whofe lady was a Parifian. — After he had
followed bis lludies at Edinbui'gh for four
years, he retreated into the country, on tiie
breaking-out of the rebellion, in 1745 * *"**
it was during this rccefs that he was prevail-
ed on by fome of his friends to publifh a littl«
collection of his poems at Glafgow. Wlien
that temped was blown over, and tlie calnjt
entirely reftored, he returned again to tlfe
Univerfity of ^inburgh, and puirfued his
ftiidics there for fix ye:irs more. The feaiad
edition af his poems was publifhod by him
there, in the beginning of 1754, veiy much
improved and enlarged ; and they might
have bsen much noore numerous than they
were, had he not Aiewn a great de^l more
nicenefs and delicacy than is ufual, and kept
feveral pieces from the prefs f»r reafons
which feemed much (Ironger to himfelf than
they did to his fricn^ls, fome of whom Wero
concerned at his excefs of fcrupuloufnefs, and
much wifhed not to have had him deprived
of fo tnuch reputation, nor the world of fd'
many poetical beauties as abounded in them.
Dr. B, during his ten years ftudies at tlie
univerfity, " not only acquired,'* as Mr.
Hume wrote to a fiiend, *«a great know*'
ledge in the Greek, Latin, and French Un<^
guages, but a!fo nuide a confulerable progrefs
in all the fciences ;" and (wl^t is yet more
extraordinary) ^tained a conHderahle ex-
cellence in poetry ; though the chief inlets
for poetical ideas were barred*up in him,
and aU the vifible beauties of the creation
had been long fmce totally blotted out of his
memory. How far he contrived, by tlte on-
common force of his genius, to compenfate
for this vaft defeA { with what elegance and
harmony he often wrote; with how much
propriety, how much CtnCe, and bow rouc^
emotion, .ife things as eafy to be perceived ia
reading his poems, as they wonld be difflcnlc
to be folly accounted for. Confidered in ei-
ther of thefe points, he will appear to have
a great ihare of merit ; but if throughly cocv*
fidered in all together, we are very moch
inclined to fay (with his friend Mr. Hume},
^ ho may be regarded as a prodigy."— -Qf his

who, in the year 1754» took upon liimfclf
the patronage of Dr. Hlacklock, and focceif.
fully introduced him to the notice of the
puhlick. In that year he publUhed a pam-
phlt-t, intituled, '< An Account of the life^
Charad^er, and Poems of Mr. Blacklock,

E^liaburgh," 8vo; which, with iome im-
)iroveroents, was prefixed to a quarto editioa
of Dr. Blacklocks Poem5, publiflicd by fub-
fcription. By this pubUcation a coofiderable
fum of money was obtained, and fuon after
our poet was 6xed in an eligible fituation m
the IJnivcrfity of Edinhurgli. In his dedica-
tion of tlic fecund i^art of " Paraclefis" to
Mr. Spence, he fays, "ft is to your kind
paimnifc that I owe my introtlu^tin to the

thoCe who ever had an opportunity of form-
inf any with accuracy. Spirit and bigh-
mindedoefa had ever been his charaAerif*
ticks. A life marked by activity and gene-
rous firmneit would have fufficiently proved
this, witliouc the fad ctinvi£Uou of it which
the manner of his death fo forcibly imprefTeSk
His flation had been honourable, for in bkn
had Hren repofed one of the higheft tnifls
which a man can receive' from his feUow-
creatures*-^e power of deciding upon tho
rights of property. As a judge of the Adaii-
n^y Court at Gibraltar, he obtained and
prefenred a charaAer highly diflinguUhed for
integrity and faithfulnels, for ckamefs and
preci&m : few of his decrees were appealed
from, and thofe few were always confirmed.
Vpon the ceffion of Minorca, at the peace of
Paris, with an honeft amVitkxito promote
kis fair fortune, he embraced the fame iitua*
tion in tl»t ifland. But, however difappoint*
•d in his hope of receiving fuperior advan-
tage, the charaAer he had raifed accompa-
nied him thitlier ; and though the accumula-.
tion of mi:^fortune, at tlie end of a life which
kad once known eafe and liappinefs, de-
preflfed him into kich glooms as deprived
him of his reafon ; yet the refpedl of thote
who knew him attended him, after thofe
things hod been loft which in general are
neceMary to command it. He was a man
whofe heart was largely extended} his be-
nevolence led him to coofider mankind as
bis friends { and for his friends were never
wanting his abilities, his good offices, nor
(while he had one) his fortwie. Many who
are gone before him to their -great account,
many who now furvive, and have pafled
him in the race fur fortune and honour,
•ould afford ilfxmg teftimooy of this. In
garrifons of fuch importance as tliofe in
which he ferved, a large portion of the army
are fettled in fuccethon; and not a few
among the mihtary, as well as the luvy,
will perhaps willuigly bear witnefs, that his
* boulftv bis uble, and his puKe, were open to
a^ who deferved them. Probably, liad his
virtues been of a kind more prudent and lefs
fhining, he would not have been driven to
the oiUy adl of his life which his friends will
he ualkapi)f in ren>emberii)gr But poverty
alone was not the only cauie of his defpei a-
titiU. The bravery of his heart, and the fpi-
rit of hb mind, had formed him to be pecu-
liarly and even fiercely jcal<Hi5, when his
claims to the cluu^dters of a patriotic citizen
^nd lojral ftibjedt came to be attacked ; and it
may be faid, that his fenfibdity never reco-
vered tlie wound that bad fo been given to it.
By whom, and for what purpofe it was in-
lli^\ed, it would be now as needlefsto eoquir/B
as to difcover. It may, however, bo truly
iaid, that an arbitrary removal from his ofiice
was the ixwt of all his mi&fottunes. What a
Biitilh jiiry tlnnight of his caCe, is upon re-
cord ; and lie has b«cn ooo among i'everal in-
iUumeuu of proving ihat tbt language of a

Military OoTemor, and the ftrong arm of
Power, can only be exerted with impunfty in
other climes than thefe. On his txQi trial
with General Murray they gave liim 300c 1.
damages; upon the fecoiul they gave him
5C00I. As his mind, however, was formed
to honour, it was not money that could
reftore him to happinefs ; he flill languiflied
under the idea that he continued to be mif-
reprefented to thofe whom he had not of-
fended. The laft effufions of his mind Ihc w '
what was uppermoft in it, nor have they
perhaps been in one point unavailing. He
who could be (b anxious for fixing the beli<sf^
of his attachment to one little community^
when he was goii^ to a (bite where nations^
and even virorlds, are loil in the infinitude of
fpace and of eternity, could never have been
other than loyal and dutifiU* In the mafs of
mankind his anxiety for his own fame will
not perhaps be much regarded; but let «s
not forget that it is this individual anxiety
which IS the great fpor to tbe general prac-
tice of honour, and that men will ceafe to be
virtuous when they ceafe to be fttklkMis of
cluradter.— Of hb particular claims upoa
Government it may not be iitiproper dtttntly-
to fpeak- He had been charged with dii^
patches of high confequence firom Lord Wey-
mouth to the Governor of Minorca ; ttiey
were of magnitude enough to employ the
ftri^eft attention of the French, '^o avoid
difcovery he proceeded by a drcultons lout
to hb deftinationi and in Italy, for hb better
concealment, be hired a Savoyard veflfrl to
convey him. But be was fo carefully w««tch-
ed that he was immediately arreited in hit
voyage, and the enemy tbousht tiis mifllrm
of fuffkient irapoitance to juttify the viola-
tion of an amicable flag. He deltroyed his
difpatches, but was forced to pay the price ,
of the veflel, which he, in fadl, had been'
the means of lofing. He remained many
months in the horrors of si French priibni
and to this day hb expences from hb depar-
ture fixim England to the end of hb capti-
vity have never b$en reimburfed. Hb
claims have been allowed, and the juftice 0^
the MioiAry would certainly Inve relieved
him \ but tlie lofs of hb place, and tlie failures
he experienced in occupations to which he
was wholly a ftranger, and whjph he had
begun when funk into the vale of years, lad
reduced him to what was in no wile conge-
nial with his mind, to importunity, wliich w^
only urgent becaufe it w.ts neceflory. Thus
depreciated with hb Sovereign, and prelTed
by poverty, his fpirifhegau to droop, hb in-
teUe£ls became deranged, and he perilhed ui
a manner which, ItoweVer it may b% blame-

*Whlch were not left me, 1 have long intend-
«d to fhoot myfelf. I did not merit .degra*
4hition. My confcience tnid me I was en*
thled to honour, fivoiir> and reward. I for*
give General Murray ; but cannot reliA, even
at this time, the wifii I have to fet your Ma-
ybttf right with refpe^ to myielf. The fub-
joined extract wiU fufficiently explain to
your MajeAy my innocence. Parliament ac-
cepted the petition of General Hurray, but
repe:itedly threw out mine; for the Aem
commands of Prerogative were obliged to
yield to the milder ones of Influence.

** Let me recommend, Sire, to you to col-
led the letters written by m^ to Mr. Ste-
phens of the Admiralty ; you will there fee
the abufe of authority and irregularity of Ge-
neral Murray. I did not at that time know
that none (hould reiide in the ifland of Mi-
norca hut fuch as pleafed the General. But
I was willing to facrificc every thing but
juftice and honour to keep him quiet. At
his inftance f filled up but one commidion
initead of. two, for tno privateers to truize
againft the two dates we were then at war

tlon ibould take place in the fame manner,
ami. on the fame fpot, that I now fall. Wlien
my herd cafe (hall be publifhcd, how will the
world be (huddered to hear that inliumanity
had deprived roe of every refource but death.
Yet, in The roidft of all my misfortunes, 1

je<ft, James StTTHiRLANo.

her called into the halt, (l]c, with her fmg-

and foon after married her."— That fuch
Was the (ituation in which the worthy Pre-
late found the future partner of his comforts

found her an adopted daughter, in a gen-
tleman's family ; a well-educated, polite^
and amiable member of it, with a very
genteci fortune: pofleffed of charms, both
perfor.d and intelledlual, which 'fully ji^ified
the pi-cference which he gave to her — ex-

Mr. Urban, Weftmnfiir^ Od. 13.

W Sg/ volume of hit late valu-

Sr M W ^^^**'*^'n^"cftiogpub.
M ^Vl jB^ licaiion», pp. 178, 179,
A M has made fome Ari^ures

lkt3flC^)9Cjtf on the article of the La-
dy Arabella Stuart, in
the " Biographia Britannica/' and has
blamed the authori for faying, that
•* (he was far from being either beauti-
ful in her perfon, or from being diflin-
guiihcd by any extraordinary qualities
of mind." The juftice of Mr. Lodge's
obje£lions to i^efe aflerdons I freely
acknowledge j| but mufl beg leave to ob-
ferre, that his cenfure is delivered in
too hady and indifcriminate a manner.
His charge properly relates only to the
old articles i and, if he had adverted to
the addition which is made to that arti-
cle in the fecond imprelHon of the <* Bi-
ographia," he would have found that I
have given a very different account of
the Lady Arabella, both with regard to
Jier undcrAanding and perfon. This
loo, I did, without having thole advan-
tages Mr. Lodge has enjoyed by the
poflfenion of the Talbot papers.

Will you indulge me, Mr. Urban, in
tranfcfibing what I have faid on the
fubjcd^l ?

" Mr. Ballard hath given a place to the
|:-atly Arabella, in his * Memoii-s of Briti(h
I^ies, who have been celebrated for their
Writings or Skill in the learned Languages,
Arts, and Sciences.* His reafons for fo tlo-
ing are, that Mr. Evelyn, in hi> ' Numifma-
ta, hath piit her in his lift of learned wo-
tocn I and Mr. Philips, in his * Theatrum
Poctarnm,' has introduced her among his
modern i^octelTcs. Though no worki of this
J.'idy. !i»ve ap|>eared, which can fen e lo (hew
on wliat foundation her literary reputation is
built, yet it is not probable that Mr- Evelyn
and Mi. Phdips (hould, without caufe, have

afligntd her the rank they have done. Tbreft
letters of liei s are tranfcribed, by Mr. Bal-
lard, from a MS volume in Mr. A(hnnole*s
ftudy, which prove Iter to have been a wo-
man of a good underftanding. WelhaUaddy
from the .fame autlior, a (bort copy of Latin
verfcs, addreflcd to the Lady Arabella, by
the noted epigrammatift Mr. John Owen,
together with a tranflation of them by Mr.
Thomas Harvey.
' Si foret in nodis virtus aut gloria verbis^

In iaiides facerem carmina mille tuas }
Nobilitare poteft nollram tua gloria roufam ;

Attibi roufa poteft addere noftra nihil.'

* If in bare words were lionour, I couUlraife,
Could write a tlioufand verfes in thy pra (« $
My Mufc may by thy worth ennobled b«.
But my poor Mufc can nothing add to thee.*

** ,We learn from Mr. Granger, that the
print of her, which is very rare, is thus in-
fcribed, 'The pidtiire of the molt noble and
h«rned Lady Arabella Stewart.'

'* As there are thefe teftimonies to the
Lady Arabella s having had a better under*
ibinding than is mentioned in the text, fo it
ihould feem, from Mr. Oldys's Manuibripu,
that Ihe had, at lealt when young, a far
grc;^ier (hare of beauty than is above repre-
fenced. Frt-m a piAure of her, which was
drawn at full length in white in 1 589, when
(he was thirteen years and a half old, it ap-
pears that (he was, at that time, very beau-
tiful in her perfon. Her complexion was fair
as alabalter : (he had fwcet large grey eyes^
and long ftaxen hair, flowing almoft to her
waift, and finely curled at top. Mr. Oldys
(ays, that (he was boin in 1575."

I GREATLY admire the prefent re-
(pe6iable Bifhopof Durham's Speech

in p. 695. It befpeaks the elegant Icho*

above oil, the /enous Chrtfltan prelate.

t84 Original Littir/rom Mrs. Doddridge U bir ChiUr^» [0A»

celleot Church-cftabliihment, I greatly
refpe^ many of the Dil)entert and their
writings, fuch as Dr. Doddridge and
Mr. Orton^ who are both dead, and
whofe letters and correfpendence 1
would Aronely recommend to the pub-
lick. And I fliould have thought more
favourably of Dr. Price'if he had died^
in thofe tenets which he profcfled in his
fern¥)B of 1759 ; extraas from which
are to be bad at Mtff, Rivingtons. Mr.
John Clayton's Addrefs and Sermon of
the prcfent day do him much credit 1
and, if the fame rational, moderate, and
tttndid fpirit, had influenced the reft of
his brethren, we flmuid neither have
heard of Birmingham riots, nor •f
Fiench Revolution* feafts in England.

The widow of that excellent man, Dr.
Doddridge, died within thele two years.
It is to ^ hoped that the Editor of his
Corrcipondencey in the next edition,
will infcrt the admirable and pious let-
ter which ihe wrote to her children,
from Lifbon, upon the death of their
lather. In the mean tirr.e^ I fend it to
you, to inltrt in your uletui and intereft-
ing Repofiiory.

rhilip Doddridge, D.D. was prevail-
ed upon, for the recovery of his health,
to go to Lifbon, in the neighbouihood
of which city he died OAober 26, 1751.
Uu widow, Mrs. Mercy Doddridge,
who accompanied him thither, wrote
the following letter to her children in
England after his deceale.

Yours, &c. O. C.

'< My dear Children,

f* U/lnm, Ntv, it, N^. 1751.

*^ How ihall I addrefs you under this awe-
fiil and inelanclioly Providence ! 1 would fain
iay fomethiogto comfort you. Aik! I hope
God will enable me to fay ibmething that
mity alleviate your deep dilirefs. I went out
in a firm dependence that, if Infioite Vl'iidom
was pleafed to call me out to duties anO trials
as yet unknown, He would grant me thofe
fuperior aiUs of ftrength that would fupport
and keep me from fainting under them ; per-
fuaded that there was uo diflrefs or forrow,
into which he could lead me, under which
bis gracious and all-fuihcieor arm could not
fupport roe. He has not diCappointed me,
nor fulfered the heart and eyes directed to
him to fail. Gcd a/l Juffiatatf Mtsd my only
hbfn, is my motto: let it be yours. Such,
indeed, h3ve 1 fuund him ; and fuch, 1 verily
believe, you will find him too in this time of
deep diftrefs.

** Ohl my dear chiUlren, liclp me to praife
Him ! Such riippnrts, fuch amfolations, fuch
cnniforts, has He granteil to the meaneil of
His ue<«ure% that my mind, at umesi is

held in perfeA aftonKhmtnt, and is ready to
burft into fongs of praife under iia moil ck-
quifite diftreis.

*<. As to outward cocnforts, God has with*
held no good thing from me, but has given
roe all the aiMance, and all tbe Ibf^ortSy
that the tendered friendOiip was capable oC
affording me, and which I think my dear
Northampton friends could not have exceed*
ed. Their prayers are not loft. I doubt not
but 1 am reaping tbe benefit of them, and
hope that y6u will do the fame.

*M am returned to good Mr. King's. Be
[^ood to poor Mrs. King. It is a debt of gra-
titude I owe for the great obligations I am
under to that worthy family here. Such a
folicttude of firiendfhip wasfurely hardly ever
known as I meet with here. 1 have the of-
fers of friendfhip more than I can empkiy %
and it gives a real concern to many here that
they cannot find out a way to ferve me.
.Thefe are great honours conferred 00 tbe
dear deceafed, and great comforts to me. It
is impoffihle to fay how much thefe mercies
are endeared to me, as coming in fuch an
immediate manner from the Divine Hand.
To his name be the praife and glory of all 1

** And now, my dear children, what fball
I fay to you ? Oiu^ is no conunon lofs. I
mourn the beft of bufbands and of friemfs,
removed from this world of fiii and forrow
to the regions of immortal blifs and light.
W hat a glory ! What a mercy is it that I I
enabled with my thougliu to purfue .iOn
there I You have loft the deareft and beft of
parents, the guide of your youth 1 and whofe
pleafure it would have been to have intro-
duced you into life with great advantages.

** Our lols is Kreat indeed ! But I really
think the lofs the puWhck has fuftained is ftjll
gi eater. But Ood can never want inftru-
inents to carry on hts work. Yet, let us be
thankful that God evei gave us I'licli a h iend ;
that he has continued Mni To long wiih us. Per«
haps, if we had been to liave jiulged, we
(hould have thought that we nor the world
could never lefs have fpared him than at the
prefent time. But 1 fee the hand of Heaven,
tlie appointment of His wife providence in
every ftep of this awefiil dif|)eiilatton. It is
his hand that has put the bittei cup into ours*
And what does he now expert frum us hut a
meek, humble, entire fubmiflion to his will?
We know tJiis is our duty. Ltrt us.pra^ for
thofe aids of His Spirit, which can only en-
able us to attain it. A father of the fatherlefs
is God in his holy habitation. As fuch may
your eyes be dire^ed to him 1 He will fup-
port yuu. He will comfort you. And that
he may is not only my daily, but hourly,
prayer.

" We have never dcferved fo great a good
as that we have loft. And let us rememt>er,
that the bell refpe^ we can pa> to his me-
mory is to endeavour, as Car as we can, to
follow his example, to cultivate thoCe amiable

of learned men is frrqoeotly incorrect, or
incorrectly reported, mav be feen in the
C$IUcMJa Mtnfalia of Luther, in the
Scatty triana^ and in SeKlen's Table Talk.

The two circumftanccs on which Mr.
T. is reported to have founded his judge*
ment, do not prove any thioe*

1. As to $rtb0grafbj, uled here for
fdU/i /tullittgt the only two words mis-
fpeit are amannuinfist for amanutnfis^
znAfteratmry, ior ficrttary. Now, furc-
ly, Mr. T. would not» upon recollec-
tion, have faid, that fuch fpelling was in
life gbout a hundnd jftMTS ago.

1. As to tbi colour #/ tbi iitb, when
tbmt is once changed, no man c^n fay at
what time the change happened. I have
feen a writing not twenty years old,
which had ilTumed the yellow and dingy
hue of antiquity ; and writings fix hun-
dred years old, having all the tre(hne(s of
yefterday.

Befides, Mr. T. would, on reflexion,
have recollected that there ex ills a com*
polition which can give the look of anti-
quity to a forgery of ycfttrdiy. I have
Known that compodtion ufed for very
wicked purpofcs.

Had I been prsfent, I (hoold have afked
another qucRion of Mr. T. as a man of
cxteniive reading i ** Was the cxprclTion

dum, ufed in Eiigi'.ib fo exrly as 1693 ^'*
and I Ihoulii icivc «ikcd ii nut captioufly,

^ R. J. rcmaiks, that even the miftakc
of fuppoiing Dcboiah Milton to be dead
when the memorandum was written,
** (hews it to be n$t a fi£lion. A man
nvbo diois in fH'tom takes care, ai Itafi,

afferted, th't, at this moment, not one of
a bundredoi the people in England, even
ofthofe who can write and IpcII, know
that Deborah Milton was alive in 17279
or that ihe ever had a daughter.

R. J. concludes with laying, ** The
progrefs of the pi Aure feems to be this t
Milton dving infolvent, and Deliorah
Milton of courfe in great indigence, it it
very improbable that (he woiud keep t9
herfelf a picture of fuch value : it was
therefore fold, as we fuppofe, to the au-
thor of the memorandum [fuppofed be-
fore to have been the eldeft fon of Sir
William Davenant] 1 and the account
tbere given is probably fuch as he re*
ceived from the feller ef the pi^ure^
who, in order to raife its value, boafta
how many great men had defire^l to have
it"

This is a mod unfortunate hypothefis
throughout. There is no reafon to fup-
pofe that Milton died infol'uent. A re*
gular law.fuit took place in the Cora«
mons concerning his nunrmpative trfia*
ment» See War ton. Appendix, p. iS.— •
Letters of admimjirati$n were af terwardt
granted to his widow, lb, p. 41. — Be-
fore we can fuppofe that Deborah fold
the pi£lure, we muft fuppofe her to have
been poirelTed of it. Now (he and her
nncrs '* lived apart fiom their father four
or five years before his death." lb. p.
33. And it is probable that, at that
time, Deliorah was in Ireland, lb, p.
41, If. r. How then came (he to he pof-
(elTcd of the picture ? If (he was left in
extreme indigence, why did (he retain the
pi£lure from 1674 to 1693 ? Would
the fon of Sir William Davenant, tho'
a gentleman of citucation, have written

latter days but knows that D^bjrah Mil- ammanuenfis, and JecThtarj ? If he
till 17271 as that circumftance bought the picture from Deborah, he

muft have known that (he was alive ; and,
(hould we fuppofe that the rale was ma-
naged by an mterpoftd per (on, flill it is
admitted that that per(i>n totd a long
faring of faifchoods to Mr. Davenant. —
The hyp ;theri$ of R. J. is, that he told
faifchoods ; my fufpicion is, that he
'wrote falfehocds : lo we arc nearly at
one. Yottis, &€•

I SHOULD be very fol^ry to keep
alive the little controverfyy if it may
be deemed fuch, which has fubfiflcd in
yoiir Magazine, relative to the mode of
adminiftering Confirmation ; but your
correfpondenty p. 799, has not, with
fufficient preciHon, flated the difference,
or the Similarity, between the admintf-
tration of Baptifm and that of Confir-
mation. 1 have baptized, in the church
where I have officiated for more than
ten years, no lefs than twenty- fix
infants on one Sunday afternoon : but,
although C ufed 9nifirvi€€ onfy, fpeak-
ing in general jerms, for the whole num-
ber, I neverthelefs took each infant
fipttrmttly in my arms, and likewife re-
peated to each infant fepmrattlj the
words, " N. 1 baptize thee,? and <« Wc
receive this infant," &c. Now the Di-
ocefan, wbofe manner of confirming has
given rife to thcfe obfervations, does tiot
repeat fgparatilj to each individual per-
foD the words '* Defend, O Lord," &c.
although he lays his hand indeed on
each perfon's head. The way, there-
fore, in which Baptifm is adminiftered
does not prove the propriety of the me-
thod of confirming ufed by the Bifliop of
London, nay, rather contravenes it. I
fnppofe all the clergy ufe the words in
the Baptifmal Service in the fame man-
ner as 1 mylelf do^ at leafi, I have ne-
ver heard of an inftance to the contrary.
The impreflive addrefs of the B fliop of

inclofed a drawing of pne, found fome
years back at Repton m Derby fliire.—
This being the only ontever heard of by
the inhabitants of that place or vicinity,
I believe it to be very rare (fet tlate I,
fg. i)i and though I am well aware
tjbat fucb inferior coins bear no great va-
lue in the cabinets of the curious medal*
lift, yet the fmalleft relick of antiquity
belonging to that antient and once- famous

name being partly obliterated, in order
t0 cobfirm my opinion of the legend, X
had recoorie to the parifli-re^iiler, where
I found, that Mathew Wilkinfbn was
Imried at Repton, Nov. $, 1680, and, at
^B^Bient periods, feverai others of that
name.*-! alfo learn, that they were for«
merly a family of coDliderable property
hi thiis parifl^ \ but now, i bcliivcy ex-

Having in my poflTeflion another of
thelie tokens, found in Berkf, which is
quite of a different form and fubftaoce,
you will, p*rhaps, indulge mc with an

It may not be fuperfluous here to no-
tice the different periods of this coin be*
iog in ufe, when the fcircity of copper
money gave rife to it.

In the latter end of Q^een Blizabeth'a

This being found very inconvcnient»
King James and iCing Cliiarles both coin-

coined dunng the Ufurparion, the for-
mer pra£lice was renewed, and continued
till about 167a. And now we find it
again edablilhed, in the Anglefca, Liver*

Mr. U RB AH, L , Sipi. a|.

I WAS very forry to fee in the papers
fome time ago, that there had been a
trial about the right of the poor to glean,
and that it had been determined that they
had none ; a pra6lice which has been
at all times allowed in England ; and, I
have been told, it is fo in every Chrif-
tian narion in Europe: and I would not
have it faid, that the Englilh are the moft
uncharitable of all Chriflian people.

It may, I think, be called a law of
God : he pofitively eftabliihed it among
his own people; and his appointment^
where circumflanccs are not altered, is,
to fay the leaft of it, a good example for
men to follow. We have adopted many
6f the Mofaic direaions, and this has
been admitted by all Chriftians. It ean*
not be faid to be a part of the ceremonial
law, which may be, and has been, varied
as times and circum fiances alter 1 but
that is not the cafe ia this aflair. There
Was no reafon for it among the Jews
which is not equally ftrong now. It waa
defigoed for the reUef of the poor 4 and
they have flill the fame occafion foe it^
and will have as long at the world laftt*
It feoms alfo very reafonable, that that
part of every man's harveft which is not
readily got in, and would be ptherwife lolL
ibould be allowed to be picked up by
thofe who have none of their own, and
yet have as much right to a maintenance
out of the fruits of theearth as any body
elfe. '

It may be true that there is no pofitive
law for It J but there are many things aU
lowed to be good law, which are not by
any written ordinance, but are derived
from old-eftablifhed ufage, and there is
none older, nor more eftabliflied, than
that of gleaning. There was no occafion
to make an exprcfs law about it, for it
had been eftabliflied from the rime that
Chriftianity firft took place in England,
which was five hundred years before the
firft a6k of Parliamcoc was made; and
nobody ever doubted of the right till
lately. There could be no judgement
recorded about it, for no one thought of
trying fo undifputed a title.

That the poor nwy at times make an ill
ufe of that right, is very pi-obable ; but
what right IS there which has ntver been
abufed ? Whoever make gleaning a pi e-

Diflifnent, let fuch perfons . at have been

others enjoy* and they have made an ill

penaUy to prevent offences. But let not
thofe who have not offended be deprived
ti an cftabliihed right which, from rime
immcmotial, has been conftantly enjoyed
by all the poor in this and all other
Chridian countries, buth by the law of

It has been faid, let the right be denied,
but let the poor enjoy it by permiffion \

Mr. Urban. BtHtmvr:

THE perufal of a fmall book lately
printed by you has revived an in-
ttntion* which I have often formed, of
communicating to the publick an origi*
oal com I ofition of the celebrated Mr.
Pope, with which I became acquainted
near fony years ago. I was a (ludent at
that time in a foreign college, and had
the happlnefs of converfing oTten with a
nod refpe^able clergyman of the name
of Brown, who died fome rime after,
aged about ninety. iThis venerable man
had lived in Eoghod, as domeflic chap*
lain in the family of the Mr. Caryl to
tvhom Mr. Pope infcribes the Rape of
the Lock, io the beginning of chat poem ;
aod at whofe houfe he fpent much of his
rime in the early and gay part of his life.
mJl was inforched by Mr. Brown, that,
feeing the Poet often aniufe the family
>vith veifes of galtaatry, he took the li-
berty one day of requtlling him to change
the fubje£t of his compofitiuns, and to
devote his taknts to the tranflating of the
Latin hymn, or rjihmus^ which 2 find in
the 217th page of *• A Collcflion of
Pi a) LIS and Hymns/* hcely prinitd.

The hymn begins with thefc words, O
Dtus I igo amo te, &e. * and was com-
pofed by the famous miffionar}', Francis
Xavier, whofe apoftolical apd fucceC^fttl
laboun in the Eaff , united with his emt«
nent fan^tity of life, orocured him the
ritle of ApoiUe of the Indies. Mr. Pope
appeared to receive his propofidoo with
indiflFerence ; but the next moming,
wh^n he came down to breakfaft, he
handed Mr. Brown a paper, with ihe fol-
lowing linei, of which 1 took a cepy»
and have iince retained them in ray me<*
mory* Many other Audents in the fame
college have been long in poffcffion of
them, as well as myfelf $ and 1 have of-
ten been furprized to Bnd, that they had
never founcf a place in any collc^rion of
that great Poet's Works. Senex.

THOU art my God, fole obje^ of my love;

179 ' •] ^^* Howard not in Dmigirh France. — Johnfon's Fatb/r. 893

Mr. Urban, Si^. %$,

YOU will no^t be forry to recetire
the following anecdote about Mr.
Howard, whofe friendf aUrmed me
formerly with what I did not then be-
lieve, but was determined to m^ke en-
quiry about at the fountain-head. Mr,
Howard was induced, fome bow,Ao be-
Here th-it the French Government had
dcHgned to arreil him, but he was for-
tunate enough to efcape. I therefore
did not believe ir, becaufe I hnd lately
received a letter from one of the French
Minifters, which mentioned Mr. How-
ard to mc in the higheft terms, faying,
this is amsH. I wrote, therefore, to a
friend at Paris, M. Du Pont, relating
the anecdote to him, who, I knew,
could get from M. dc Vergennes the
necelTary information. M. de Ver-
gennes faid,' he had not ever heard of
any complaint ag^inft Mr. Howard that
might induce their Government to
want to arreft Mr. Howard ; but he
would caufe the books of their police to
be fearched for any complaint againft
that brave man : without fuch com-
plaint, no order was ever given to arreft
any rt ranger. The books were fearch-
ed, and no complaint lay againft Mr.
Howard, That being the cafe, cer-
tainly no order to arreft him had ever
been iHued. Ofticious people in France
may ha»e caufed fuch talk; — as ilU

OXFORD DKUREE8.
Mr. Urban, Oxfard, Sept. 26.

BE pie lied to inform your corre-
fpondent L. L. p. 210, that it is
not true that Mr. Piice ** had the high
rank oi M. D. conferred on him by the
Univcrfity oF Oxford, for having difca-
vercd, to the cntiie latibfajSlion of that
learned body, thit great dsjidtraiuin^
the pliilofopiici's (l(<ue) the ^it of tranf-
mutmg baler metals into gold." Mr.
Price (whether he ever was an •* apo-
thecary" I know not) had, a few years
before his degree was propofcd, been «
member of the Univetfity as a gentle-
man-commoner | and, t believe, be-
haved with credit. In addition to this^
when hii degree was folicitcd, it was
faid that he was poirtlfed of a jarge for-
tune^'for which he had changed his
name from Hq^^tnhntham \ that he had
no deiign to pra^life as. a phyliciao, but
was going abroad, where the degree
would be a recommendaiton to him ;
and that he was the bed chemill in the
kingdom. As to his pietended ciifco-
very, not a fyllable refpefting it h^d
perhaps been' heard by a tingle indivi-
dual who voted for the degree, or
againft it (for it was very ftrongly op-
pofed)} but certainly the difcovery was
not generally k^iown^ nor confidered as,
the ground of conferring the honour.
Of this 1 can affure L. L. from me-
mory; but I have better authority; the
two editions of " An Account of fome
Experiments, &c. by James Price, M.D«
F.R.S." are before mc ; one publilhed

at Oxford in 1782, Ihortiy afcer his de-
gree 'j the other at the (Jime place the
next year. In the introduction to the
firft^ p. vii. he mentions, with refped-
ful gratitude, *' the recent honours
with wliich the Univerfiiy, 10 whom he
owed his education, had crowned hi«
chemical ialiour^/* An idea got m,-
broad, to which L. L, it (eems, ftiU ad*
heret, and which, indeed, the foregoing
paiTage might countenance rather than
refute, that the degree was given on'
account of the fuppofed difcovcry. In
the •* Adveriifcmcnr," therefore, pre-
fixed to the fecond and greatly-aitered
edition, the author c()rre£^ed the mif-
take in the fuliowing paragraph, in
which I mark thofc words only which
he himfelf maiked.

** Ke alio begs leave to remark, that the
gentlemen who, in fome of the public piints,
reprefented his late d^ree as conferred in
confequence of ihefe experiments, muA have
Wen miiinformeU. There was not tlie lead
connexion between tliem, as is well knowii
to almoll every member of the Convocation ;
nor indeed could there be, fince the degree
was given fome time before thefc experiments
were known in Oxford. It was conferred
expreffly on account of his fwwur chemical
labonrs ( in a manner indeed fo honourable,
that he thought it but decent to (hew his
grateful fenfe of it in the introdn^bon to his
pamphlet."

The unfortunate experimenpilift, if,
fince your correfpondcnt has revived
bis memory, this may be added, died
by fwallowing UurtUwater, Auguft 8,
1783, •* The coroner's inqueft brought
in their verdifl Lunacy, upon general
evidence of his having, in many in-
iiances, a^ed like a man infane *." It
was '* generally fuppofed," in the neigh-
bourhood of Guildford, where he lived,
«* that hii ftudies hurt his mind.* "His
feelings alfo were nice, and he could
not ftand the ridicule of the news-pa*
pers about the gold bulinefs/' This,
and other things together, ''overfet
him. He left about 130I. a year, real
eftatef and ten or twelve thoufand
pounds in the funds*."

But \ reruin to L. L. who is ex*
tremcly erroneous alfo in what he favs,
in the fame page, with regard to Mr.
Burke*s projected degree* But upon
this it is lefs necclfary to animadvert, as-
an accurate account^ (fuch I believe,
and, in great mcafure, know it to be)
ot that matter is given in your Maga-

nuous in your correfpondcnt, when he

lire you entirely to fuppreu the condu-
fion I in which, whether he '< conceiv-

''not," he ibonid then at ieaft have
known there was m«ch of idle furmife,
and much of groundleft affertion. But
— — the peroration could by no meant
be fpared. Academic honours are one
of the favourite topicks of his panegy*
rick \ and, next to the Hierarchy of the
Church of England, he fcems to bold
the Univerfuy of Oxford in cordial ef«
teem and veneratios.

it is common, I think, with corpora-
tions, to admit honorary burgefles, who
enjoy part, not ali, of the privileges of
thofe who are born free, or regularly
made fo. The freedom of the univer-
iity is conferred by degrees} and an ho*
norary degree entitles him who has it ta
fome of the privileges, not to all, that
belong to a oegree given in the ufual
mode, or granted by diploma. What
there is that is abfurd or ridiculous ia
all this, a perfon of ordinary candour,
I apprehend, will not eafily perceive.
Made of the (ame materials with other
men, we plead no peculiar exemption
from error; and I am not now going to
applaud, or to defend, all that the Uai-
verAty has ever done or not done ; hot
of this I am perfuaded, that, in the
judgenftCAt of the impartial, and with
the allowance which et|uity will ever
n^ake for human infirmity, her condiiA
will be found, nine times out of ten, to
be more than juftifiable. A few years
ago ihe refufed a degree to the Abb£
Raynal; and, with the unanimous fuf-
frages of a crowded theatre, ihe re*
cently conferred one on the truly vene*
rable Re£lor of Whittinston { and every
finccre friend to religion and to his
country will applaud the learned body
for what they gave and for what they
wittj^cld *. ^

/^ut I mud flill beg the indulgence of
^r. Urban and his readers, for we
'have not yet done with academic re-
^ wards. This fame cojrrefpondent (p«
70s, col. 2) has anotiier nccufation a*

guifli him " for his Taxation no Ty-
ranny." A pcrfon, who hat no better
means of information at hand than this
letter of L. L. would probably fuppofe
the Univerficy bsilowcd on Dr. John-
fon one degree only, and thaf merely on
the fcore or the political tra(^ mention*
cd. But, waving all comment, let us
nark the faft. February the 4th, 1755,
the Chancellor of the University wrote
the following letter to the Vice- chan-
cellor, to be communicated, in the ufual
way, to the Members of Convocation:

" Mr. Samuel fohnfon, who was formerly
of Pembroke College, liaving very eminently
diftingoi(hed himfdf by the publication of a
feries of EflTays, eKcellently calculated to form
the manner^ of the people, and in which the
canfc of Religion and Morality is every where
nuiatainsd by the f^roiiged powers of argu-
ment and language, and who ihortly intends
to publifb a Didlionary of the EngUih Tongue,
£[>rroed on a new plan, and executeil with
the grcateit labour and judgement ; I per-
suade royfelf that 1 fliall a^ agreeably to the
fentiments of the whole OniverAiy in defir*
ing that it may be propufed in convocation to
confer on him the degree of Mailer of Arts
by diploma, to which I readily give my con-
fent I and am, Mr. Vice-chancellor and Gen-
tlemen^ your affectionate friend and fervant,

AatAN."

The diploma itfelf, dated February
tOy exprcfies the fame ideas in Latin ^.

Twenty years after this, it was in the
contemplation of the Univerfity to give
a fecond degree to the fame illuftrious
author, in the like honourable wayj
and the letter on this occafion, from
Lord North, then Chancellor, March

public5 Princeps jam el Primarius jure habe-
atur; Not," &c *

And thus, Mr. Urban, theUntvcrfitv*
at the diOance of many yenrs, conferred
two degrees on Dr. John Ion, and in
neither of them is there the Uightcd al-
lufion to that pamphlet, for which L.L.
fays a Dolor's degree was given ; and
in both of ihtm there is exprefs men-
tion of, or dire£t reference to, that very
** Di£lionary** and thofe identical *' mo-
ral wofks,** yea, and, among all his
multifarious prc>du£lion8, to that Dic-
tionary and thofd moral works alont, on
account of which L. L. denies that the
Po£Voh*s degree was given ! !

It is very true, Dr. Johofon had pub-
liflicd his "Taxation no Tyranny" not
long before he received this fecond maik
of favour from the Univetlity; and I
iball not venture to alTert that there
was no individual in the colle£live aca-
demic body who did not the raihcr wilh
the degree to be conferred on account
of that recent difplay of the great wri-
ter's abilities, added to all his former
ufcful and elaborate works. But if the
prevailing fentiments of the place were
fuch at that time as they appear gene-
rally to have been, and X have no reafon
to think they were dtHerent, this rot-
roorable pamphlet, much as it mi^ht be
admired and applauded by the Univer-
fity, and 1 believe it was very h!<;hly
applauded, would operate, on the ^.ound
Amply of the fub]e£t there ircaced, to
impede, rather than to promote, the in-
tended honour: and all that can juOly
be faid on the occafion is, that this per-
formance did not prevent thi: bellowing
of the academic crown, when^ upon

*J> t775> referring firft to the former every other confidcration, it was To

thus :

" The many learned hbours which havct

4ifplayed the jollities of that great man, fo
much to the advancement of literature, and
the benefit of the community, render him
worthy of more diftinguiihed honours in the

eminently due to tranfcendent abilities
and unrivaled merit. I have known
more inftanccs than one where the Ufii-
▼erlity have forborne to give a dcj;rtc
entirely or principally becaufe the pcr-
fon in view was a didinguifhcd public
chara£ler ; but, as far as I can recotie£^,
I never knew nor heard of a iing'c in-

one only daughter and heiref?, who married
Henry Lord Vifcount Falkland, Lord De-

AS I iind, by the fcrmon which wa«
preached at the funeral of.tfaae
eminent prelate, Bilhop Taylor, pub-
lifhed lately among fome of bis works,
by the Rev. Mr. Whceldon, that ** my
Lord of Canterbury (vis. Archbilhop
Laud) bellowed upon bim the rcdory
of Uphingam, in Rutlandihire," 1 have
no doubt but that that living was his
Grace's option for that turn, as the pa*^
tronage of it had been fo long before
eranted to the Bilhops of London. £
do not recoiled to whom Mr. Wheel-
don refers, in the latter part of his de-
dication, by a quotation from en emi-
nent writer. J much approve this pub-
lication, as well as the letter from £. J.
and any thing elfe that may contribute
to fet the chara£^er of good BUhop
Taylor in the diftinguiibed light which
it deferves. And, if his great admirer
R, N. has any thing to add upon the
fubjed, t hope he will infert it in yonr
favourite Magazine. I am eUd to in**

t$ ufuftl to this ftyle of building, with
the moft abfurd and grorefque figures,

rarticularly a row of headf, with mod
orrid and diftorted countenances, no
two of which are alike, fupporting the
cornice around. The Eaft end is adorn-
ed with a beautiful circular window,
curiouflf fculptured; and in this part
thefe ornamental deformities are more
plentifully difpofed. At the foot of the
nail are two circular arches, forming
confiderable recefles, meant, probably,
as places of fepulture, perhaps for the
founders of the church, or at leaft the
chancel, who, bv this contrivance, fe*
cured a place w interment under the
walls, at a time the actual burial in
churches was prohibited. The grand
South door, now partly hid by a.moderA
porch, is moft curioufly wrought, and a
good fpecimen of this ftyle of building;
an engraving of it, by ¥% Jukes, dotted
July 119 1773, by no means does it juf*
tice, no more than that of a view of the
Eatt end of the church, by Dent and
Innes, dated March a, 1773* The Weft
head of the church is more modern than
the reft of the building; it has at pre*
lent no tower,a fmall wooden one, from
its ruinous flate, having been taken
down a few years fince.

The church is fmall, confifting of a
save and chancel, feparated by a circu*
lar arch, fupported by two mo'ft elegant
sigzag pillars. In the angles formed by
them in the. nave, on each fide, are ca-
vities or niches, in which, probably,
were altars formerly, and, mod likely,
ilatues; fomeof the cement A ill remain-
ing in one of them, that (ccured the back
of It. Thefe cavities have fince been
conBderably enlarged by cutting into
the main wall on etch fide, apparently
to widen the pews.

The roof of the chancel has been
lowered, much to the detrio^ent of the
edifice; but the chief injury the church
has received fcems to have been by the
bhnd zeal of bigoted Reformers, in de-
priving the numerous niches on the out-
Tide of their fiatues, and defacing others,
probably thofe which gave offence by
their mere human refemblancc.

In the chancel, and there only, are
three' monuments, one of marble, a-
gJiinft the North wall, with an infcrip-
tion in Latin, 10 the memory of Tbo*

he would produce it too, if he thought

thought that fuch a lift would expofe
their dtdin'mg (late too much to the
eyes of the publick, who are, I aflure
jfou, whatever your correfpondent may
aflfert to the contrary, no friends to the
. Jacobite caufe.

I have formed my opinion (ai I think
every roan would naturally do) of the
comparative numbers of the two orders
from the date of their churches, fuch
churches, I mean, as are vijidit, in tbi
great and (apital to*win. And here the
iTiajority is evidently in favour of the
Englilh communion. Le^ us, Mr. Ur-
ban, briefly examine a few of them, ac-
cording to the plan before laid down.
8uch an examination will immediately
fliew you 'w^at eiafi of people they are
who fupport . the £nglilh chapels ia
Scotland.

Your correfpondent, I prefume, be-
fore this time knows that if Mr. C. in
the New-town of Edinburgh ativertifed
for hearers, he has advertifed to very
good purpofe j for his congregation i«
already very numerous, and dill iocreaf-
iDg; and, as for their refpc£iabiliry,
^ou may have fome idea yourfetf, Mr.
Urban, when you are informed that
each fitter pays at the rate of a guimta a
irear for his feat. This fum, whatever
it may be confidered with you in Lon-
don, is cfteemed no tiifle for a feat in
church in Scotland, in the New Cha-
pel, which is an elegant (Impure, and
cod more in building than tbi 'wb9U
Jaccbtte meitittg'btuja in tbt kingdom,
lome of the feats let for 25 or s 6 (hil-
lings a year each fitter, mod ^ them
for a guinea ; and there is not, 1 be-
lieve, this day, a dogle feat empty in
the whole chapel. Befides thefc, there
is another place of wor(bip, belonging
to the Enelilh church, in that city,
which is a Kind of chapel of ea(e to the
New Chapel lad mentioned. The cler-
gymen's falaries, with the orgaoid's,
&c. are fo well known that they need
uoi here be repeated.

With thefe the oppo(ite Noojuriog
party cannot bear a (hadow of compari-
(bn, neither in numbers nor in rank;
and their clergy are, as might be ex*
pe^d, the mod refpe£table of any of
their community in Scotland. One of
them, who is at prefent, I believe, en«
gaged in building a meeting- houfe ca*
p/ible of containing two of their congre-
gations together, is a phy(ician of con(i«
derable eminence, and a clergyman of
real candour and moderation. But even
this perfon, fo \inpopular is the caufcy

low the current price of feats in the
Eoglifb chapels. Some families indeed
there are (not a few, I believe) who
cannot alford to take fuch expenfive
feats, and therefore are necelhutcd to
attend in tbeNonjuring meeting-houfes,
where they are frequently difguded
with hearing the fervice performed in
different ways, fometimes tuitb, and
fometimes nvitbom, the Ufages, as they
are here called, which are real profa*
nations of Holy Scripture, and relicks

in the definition of twortbUJnefi. He
was faving, but not avaricious; he waa
painfullf anxious to keep his own, but
never panted for the wealth of another*
The defireof hoarding was inOilled into
him by the precept and exan\ple of his
uncle ; as he increafed in age, it became
a confinned habit, which appeared the
worfe and more confpicuous for bis mo-
ral chara£ter being fo fpotlefs, and bis
general deportment fo amiable.

He fulfilled, in favour of his fonsp
tjie di6iates of Nature, coofcience^ and

bliflied them in the world, and be-

With the fruits of his unnecefiary for-

it cannot be denied but he made a pro*
per and good ufe of them. Many a
man, thought refpe^abie, conceals his
illegitimate children in the darkefl cor-
ners, and cenfigas them to ignorance
and penury.

Mr. Elwes's extreme parHmony, com*
trailed by the extreme profufenefs of the
age, like a thick cloud, partly obfcured
the refulgency of thofe confcientious
and benevolent principles which exiiled
in his heart. Thefi^, however, at in-

both acknowledged and proved even by
that ungenerous companion of his do-

has expofed the private indanccs of his

his dotage, to the prefent generation,

in 1785. The fuhjcdl of thefe tolumes
comprehends the moft intricate and ob«
fcure periods of our hiflory ; and when
we coniider.che (canty and fcatcered ma-
terials which Dr. Henry has digeiledy
and the accurate and minute information
which he has fiven us under every chap-
ter of his work, we inufl have a high
opinion both of the iertrning and induftry
of the author, and of the vigour and ac«
tivity of his mind : efpecially when it is
added, that he employed no amanuenlie,
but completed the manufcript with his
own hand ; and that, excepting the firft
volume, the whole book, (uch as ic is,
was printed from the original copy.— «
Whatever corrections were made on it,
were inferted by interlineations, or in re*
▼illog the proof-iheets. He found it
neceUary, indeed, to confine himfcif to a
firfl copy, from an unfortunate tremor
in his hand, which made writing extreme-
ly inconjreoient, which obliged him to
write with his paper on a book placed on
his knee intiead of a table, and which
unhappily increafcd to fucn a .dcgue,
that in the lad years of his life he was
often unable to take his vi£tuals without
afliA«ioce. An attempt, which he made
after the publication of the fifth volume,
to employ an amanuenfn, did not fuc-
feed. Never having been accuftomed to
di£t'ate his compofiuon^, he found it im*
« poHiblc to acquire a neW habit \ and
though he perieveied but a few days in
the attempt, jt had a fcnfible etfc£t on his
health, \\U\fX\ he never afterwards reco*
Vcred.

He did not profefs to (ludv the orna-
ments of language ; but his arrangement
is uniformly rcgu*ar and natural, and his
flyie fimple and perfpicuous : and, as a
book of ta£ts and fofid informat.on, fup-
poned by authentic documents, his Hif-
tory will ftand a comparifon with any
other UiUory of the fame period.

Not having been able to tranfa£t with
the bookfclUrs to hisfatisf3£lion,the nve
volumes were originally publiihed at the
rilk of the author. When the iiril vo-
lume appeared, it was cenfured with an
unexampled acrimony and pcrfeverance
in (eveial magazines, reviews, and news-
papers. In compliance with the ufual
culiom, he had permitted a fcrmon to be
publifhcd which he had preached before
the Society in Scotland tor propagating
Chiiilian Knowledge in 1773; acompo*
(luon conuining plain good-fenle on a
common fubje6t| from which he expect-

ed no reputation. This was eagerly
feized-on by the adverfariesof hit Hifto-
ry, and torn to pieces with a virulence
and afperity which no want of merit ia
the fermon could juflify or explain. Am.
anonymous letter had appeared in a news*
paper, to vindicate the Hiftory from fome
of the unjuft cenfuies which had beea
publiHitd, and aflerting, from the real
merit and accuracy of the book, theaa*
thor's title to the approbation of the p«ib«
lick. An anfwer appeared in the courib
of the following week, charging him, ia
terms equally confident and iodeeent^
wi'h having written this letter in his owa
praife. The efforts of malignity feltkim
fail to defeat their purpole, and to recoil
on thofe who direct them. Dr. Henrf
had many friends, and nil lately )ud noc
difcovcred that he had any enemies. But
the author of the anonymous vindication
was unknown to him, till the learned
and refpe^tablc Dr. Macqueen, from the
indignation excited by the confident pe«
tulance of. the -anfwer, informed him thac
the letter had been written by him.— «
Thefe anecdotes are flill remembered.—-
The abufe of the Hidory, which begaa
inrScotland, was renewed in fome of the
periodical publications in South Britain;
though it IS juflice to add (without
meaning to refer to the candid obferva*
tions of Cngliih criticks), that in both
kingdoms the afperity originated in the
lame quarter, and that paragraphs ami
criticifms written at Edinburgh were
prin:ed in London. The fame fpirit ap«
pcared in Siri£tures pubK(hed on the (e*
cond and third volumes ; but by this time
it had in a great mcafure loft the atten*
tion of the publick. The malevolence
was fufficiently underflood, and had long
before become fatal to the circulation <?
the periodical paper from which it origi-
nally proceeded. The book, though
printed for the author, had fold beyond
his molt fanguine expectations ; and had
received both praife and patronage from
men of the firft literary charaders in the
kingdom : and though, from the alarm
which had been railed, the boakfellcrt
did not venture to purchafe the property
till after the publication of the mth vo«
lume, the woik was eHabliflied in the
opinion of the publick, and at laft re«
warded the author with a high degree of
celebnty, which he happily lived to en*
joy.

Dr. Henry was no doubt encouraged
from the fir it by the decided approbation
of (ome of his literary friends, who were
allowed to be the moft competent judges

by that gentleman, and is well entitled to

wrote this chara£Ver died before the pub*
lication of the third volume. — The pro-
grefs of the work introduced Dr. Henry
to more extenfive patronage, and in par-
ticular to the notice and elteem of the
Earl of Mansfield. That vef>erab]e no*
bleman, who is fo well entitled to the
gratitude and admiration of his country,
thought the merit of Dr. Henry's Hifto-
ry fo confiderable, that, without anv fo*
licitation, after the publication of the
fourth volume, he applied perfonally to
his Majedy, to beftow on the author
fome mark of his royal favour. In con*
fcquence of this, Dr. Henry was inform*
ed by a letter from Lord Stormont, then
Secretary of State, of his Majefly's in*
tention to confer on him an annual pen*
fion for life of a hundred pounds, "con*
fidering his diftingu'ilhed talents, and
great literary merit, and the importance
of the very ufeful and laborious work in
which he was fo fuccefsfully engaged, as
titles to his royal countenance and fa-
vour." The warrant was iflued on the
28th of May, 1771 i and his right to the
penfion commenced from the 5th of
April preceding. This penfion he en-
josed tiil his death, and always conG*
dered it as inferring a new obligation to
perftvcre ftcadiiy in the profccution of
hii work. From the Eari of Manstield
he received many other teOimonie^ of

Many >ears ago, this remedy, which I
here fend you,, has been known in the
province of Groniogen. and the adjacent
di(lri£ts, where my father was phyiiciaa
for fcveral years* and had often occasion
to make trial of it. After repeated and
con ft ant fuccefs, my father judged this
remedy fo beneficial to the human fpe-
cies, as to communicate it to the Me<itcal
Society at Amfterdani, under the motto,
Ser'vaneUs dvihus, in a letter dated Gro-
niiigcn, Aug. 17, 1781, under the tide
of ** Obfervations on the Canine Mad-
nefs.**

The manner in which this remedy is
to be prepared, and mud be taken, the
author dcfcribcs in the followmg man-

and oil olivets much as will till three

to prevent all mifchief, that both the
dogs (houM be fliot ; to which Mr. van
der Pfepen coull not give his cODfent, re-
collecting thn he had read fomewhcre of
a remedy againfl the confcquences of the
bite of a mad dog. Finding this in the
printed Records of the Medical Society at
Amflerdam abovementioned, at his re«
queft Mr. Stook confented to make trial
of this remedy.— With thif de(i^» the
dogs were fecurely chained to their ken-
nets ; the remedy, coniilling of oil and
eggs, was given Aieii>| according to the
prefcription { and the confequence waSy
that both the dogs were faved.

The (iogular effe^ which this remedy
had on thefe dogs was, that thev both
fwear, all over their bodies, to fuch a
degree, that the infide of their kennels
was Aained with it, and adhered fo much
to the walls, that great labour was ne«
cefTary in order to fcrub it oflP. The
ftench was fo ftrong, as Mr. Stook told
me, that only for a fmall time he could
remain in the room where the dogs were;
and almoft all their hair was fallen ofiF.

By this cafe I doubt not but every im-
partial reader will be convinced of the
great rfixcacy this remedy has on the ani-
mal body, as it forced the fweat through
the pores of their (kin (otherwife not na«
rural in this kind of animal), and of fuch
an acridity, as to make their hairs fall oflT.
That the little dog, bv which the f paniels
were biuen, has been mad, if proved by
the neighboui's dog, which ,nad been
loeked up for fome davs, baving given
evident (igns of the hydrophobia, and for
that reafon was killed inHantly.

That the abovementiooed remedy,'
conGiline of oil and e^ gs, has great power
even when the hvdnjphobia is perceived,
though not fufficient to fave the perfon's
life, will appear from the two examples
which my father h^s related in the above-
mentioned Obfcrvations.

** Above all, to (hew the great power
of this remedy by experience, I will give
two inftances, many years ago commu-
nicated to roe by the very learned Mr.
C. £b. Muller, formerly a celebrated
phyfician at Amfterdam.— The two men
Jived in the fuUurbs. They both were
much indifpofed, without knowing what
was the matter with them. The wife of
one of them told the phyfician, her
hufband could not drink, fotiitthint; was
amifs with hi% throat, &c — Mf. Muller
ordered direft!y a glafs tumbler full of
WAtrr, and tffcrcd it to the patient, up-
on which he fell inro ftrong convulf^ons;
which proved to Mr. Muller, that the

a '

man was already hydrophoUcal, and had
been bitten by a mad dog, which he af-
terwards related to his wife \ on which
ihe with |reat anoni(bment anfwered,
'* Oh, that IS true i but we did not know
the animal wai mad. It was a little dog,
and happened about (ix weeks aeo.'*—
After this difcorery, the Do£^or himfelf
took the trouble to prepare the aforefaid
remedy, to be certain of the efie6l it
might hate in this- firfl trial. It was the
third day that he dreaded water. The
man took this remedy i and, ob(crve^ in
a little while after he a(ked to drink, and
drank more than a pint of clear water
with great ea(e, and attefting a pleafure
beyond all defcription. Half an hour
after, he began to vomit plentifully a
blacki(h matter, refembling curdled blood {
after that he drank again, and as much
as was fufiicient to quench his great
thirft ; though within fix or feven hours
after this he died. — Almod the fame was
the ilTue in the other cafe. The patient
having taken the abovenamed remedy,
the hydrophobia abated, he drank plen-
tifully, vomited the like matter continu-
allv* but he alfo died, the next day.*'

Notwithftanding the patients lafl men-
tioned could not be reflortd, or preferred
from death, I think, however, thefe ex-
amples give a (Iriking proof of the great
eff.6l of this remedy to relieve the hy-
drophobia in fuch a manner, that they
couid drink with eafe, and quench their
great third j a temporary pleafure to
(uch unhappy men in their lau moments.
—•As this remedy is of that great power
to remove the hydrophobia, 1 think we
may conclude with conhdence, on good
foundation of reafon, that, when this le-
medy is duly piepared and taken, under
God's bleding it may be of that effeA, as
well in man as in beaH, to prevent alt
the dreadful confequences of the bice of
a mad dog.,

That the abovementioned remedy, bou/
iimple foever in its appearance, may be
of that fa'utiferous eifcft as to preVeot
the confcquences of the bite of a mad
dog, will become mure credible, if we
make our reflexions on the oil olive (im-
ply con(idered. This oil appears (oft to
the touch, and makes the boidies to which
it is applied Imooth and pliant. A drop
of the oil, applied to tlie wound made by
the bite or fting of a bee, wafp, or any
other infcft of that fort, will fooo take
away the pain and fwelling caufed theie-
by. In the BrH application it will give
rxquifite pain, but it ceafes very foon.— <

BEFORE I left Calais, 1 obferred
workmen repairing one of the la. ^ eft
houfes in that citv { and, upon enquiry,
I was informed that it is the fir(( houfe
built by the Engliib. I then obferved
it with more attention than I otherwiie
fliould, and f perceived the red bricks
with which if is built, but high in the
front, were larJtd }n a very uncouth
manner with a few white ones, now, I
dare fay, co? ered with plaifter. Not at
firft having the leaft conception that
they were meant for letters or words, I
examined them for tbtir beauty ^ and
then fufpeded they were meant to con*
vey fome information. With this key
im mjf tye, I tried to unlock the enigma,
and I thus made out the following cbt*
rasters ;

which I have here marked more A\f»

thus read 1 C§d mi bud^ ift al my dndt

alfo, in a Areet which leads from the

which, 1 fuppofe, was put up when our

and ftreet to meet Francis the Firft at
Jrdres, In the next houfe are two ta*
blets, 6xed in the wall ^tlfo, which feem
to have been removed thither from fome
church. They are formed in the man-
ner of an oval mural monument; bur,
alas I though there arc remains of Ut-
ters, I queflion whether the ingenious
Mfftf, Sfguier, were he living, could
decypher them. So much for Calais.

And now, Mr. Uiban, a word or two
of this town, the teu of kings, and a
BISHOPRICK. In (tink, dirt, and po«
verty, though it is nobly built, and con-
tains 24,000 rout>, it is not i>chtnd-
hand wnth Calais ; but with reipe£^ to
the tradefmen, bourgiois. Sec, it bears
not the leail comparibn. At Calais,
confidence may be placed in fuch as
you deal with i here, on the contrary,
they are fo contaminated with the vices
attendant on a court, that it exceeds (iie
power of belief; and, if whatever you

Consistency of Mr. Bu&ke.
(Continued from p. 791.)

I THINK., Sir, from the pafrages already
cited, it will be evident to diipafllioDate
minds, that Mr. Burke's fentiments of
the ConAiturioD of England were pre*
cifely the fame at the commencement of
his political manhood as tl^fe whxh have
manifeiled themfcWes in his la(\ publics*
tioD, and that he dreaded equally then
the mirchievous effe£ts of attempting fpe .
culative iinprovemerts in it as he does
sow in his moie advanced and matured
ftate of life. It is rather a curious cir-
cumHance, and affords an interna) evi-
idence of the complexion of x\\u pamphlet
of Mr. Burke, that it Was anfwered in a
very poignant and acrimonious manner
by the late celebrated female republican,
Mts. Macauiay.

We all of us recollefl that Mr. Burke
took a ver^ a£livc and leading part m
parliament ag«iinft the American war.
]t has been very much the taihion a-
mong his prefent enemies to argue that
his opinions, rectnilv publilhtd, arc in
opp' fili<»n to thole wh.ch he uniionnly
ur^ed in the courle of that melancholy
ConteU. To fuperficial ob<civcrs, who
contound oppofmon ro the milch ev(*us
meaturcs of AximmilliiitK n, wuh a dc*
fire of ovei\hro\vrnj* iht Conflituuon, I
conceive fuch prejudices will be accept-
able. To ihofc, however, who do not
chooic to determine wiihout evidence,
and who are 4^Uialed by a fpirit of

truth, and of fair«dealing towards the
characters of men, I ihall have no dif-
ficulty in aflfertiog, becaufe I can prove,
that the leading caufeof his difapproba-
tion of the original meafures, and fub*
fcquent war, againft America, was, that
our meafures in that conteft were not
founded in the JP'trit^ nor condif^ed in
the ttrnpiKf of the Britilh Con(Htution.
Admitting what I contend is the truth,
it is furety very d'l/ingeouous to attri*
bute motives to Mr. Burke which never
influenced him, and to place his rea*
ibnings upon fuch grounds as he never
meant to reft them. They who will
read Mr. Burke's fpeeches, and his
other publications, rcipe£ting the Ame-
rican quarrel, with candour and^atten*
tion, will find themfelves oblieed to
agree with me. In his fpeech 0^1774,
on American taxation, he has thefe re-
markable pHfl*iges :

" I am not here going into the diftin^oni
of rights, nor attempting to mark their boun-
daries. I do not enter into thefe m^tarhyfical
diftinAions : / batt the very fouttd of tbtm.
Leave the Americans as they antuntly ftood t
and thefa didin^ons, bora of our unhapp]^
conted, will die along with it. T'tey and we^
and tbtr and our anceftors, have been happy
under that fyftem. Let the memory of all
anions, in contradidion to that ^d old mod§
on all fides, be eximgxiiflicd for ever,"

" If, intempcrately, unwifcly, fatally, yoa
fophifticate and poifon the very fource of
Government, by uri^ing fuhtle dedofiions,
and confequences odious to thofe you govern,
from the unlimited and illimitable nature of
fupreme fovei-eignly, you will teach them
by thofe means to call that fovereigiit) into
qucftion."—

*< Is it becaufe the natntil refinance of
things, and the various mut^rtions of time
hinder, cu* G6vemment,.or any fcheme of
government, from being any more than a (ort
of approximation to the right, isjt, there-
fore, that the Colonies are to recede from it
mftnitcly ?"

in 1 7-5, on piopofing a plan uf conciit*
ation with the Colonics, though I could
trouble you with many moic, 1 fhall Jay
before \ou three paragraphs, which J[
am apt to believe will anlwer my pur-

WALKING fome time paft in the

enabled to make out the infcription.
The monument is of alabafter, about
four feet high, richly charged on the

in a koeeling pofture. The top dabs
(on which are laid the effigies of Lord
W. in armour, and his two ladies,) pro-

Sermon VI. remarks on the biftory
of the early opinions concerning Cbrifiv

given by the earlicA fathers to tha

Pruffia.

General ClaulTen, in 1756, eftabliihed
an iron-foundry, and other works, for
fupplying the Danifli army and navy
^ith military (lores. He beg»n by im-
proving and rendering fubftantial a cut
made 1717—1710, by Frederick IV.
'bciiveen a (mail lake and the Ifefiord, a
bay of the Tea, on the North (bore of
Zealand. He has fertilized a Tandy
trad to ■ capacity of producii^ 500
loads of hay, befides (ire-wood.

<< At the extremity of the canal we turned
into another formcti entirely by the General.
It was cut thrmgh quiekfand^ aod th^b:inks
^ped and planted like thofe of the former.
He employs at prefent only 340 men. All
the workmen are his own peaCaius, who of
courfe labour at a reduced price. He has
jb41c for their liablCttion rows of houfes with
rude flones wafhcd with ftucco, made t»f
equal quantities, of the pounded fcoria of
aroii, of quickUme, and chalk. He lias found,
»om expei ience, th.it this ftucco is extremely
Jiirah'.e. His works conlift of a foundry for
mftin^ cannon, both^ copper and iron, and
balls, making (iltpctre and gunpowder, with
bakehoufes and breweries. He bualied, tliat
in 1771 he furni(hcd the army of Norway
Dvkh artillery in three months ; and at two
months notice he could fupply a 50 gun (hip
with all her artillery, ammunition, zxA mili-
tary ftores. in (hewing us his works, be
laid claim to many new inveiltions* He faws
and poUlhes caiuion, by means of a mill io
contnved as to anfwer various purpofes ; he
iaws oif tlie wafte pieces of copper from the
caft cannon, which operation was the work
of fixteeu men for three days, and is now
performed in an hour. By means of the £ime
mill, and a kind of turning machine^ he po-
liJhes the cannon in the manner of turning,
ivhich ufed to be done by the tedious opera-

^. We are I appy to learn, that one of the
firft pisfernents which hath fallen fmce the
trai^ation of Bithup Douglas to Sali(bury has
been (Conferred on this ingenious traveller— a
pt^bcadiiiihocbutchofSai'um* £dit«

tion of filiog. He hasiovented a fimple ma-
chine to twift the hot iren bars together for
anchors; annodewhicb he prefers as ftnmger
and better than the ufoal OMCfaod of hsmn*
mering the bars togetheiv In his powder-
mills he ufes copper moctan, which are
much fafer than tbofe of wood, as Che latter^
on being much ufod, beoofne dry, and har-
bour the powder in the fmali crevices. Ue
employs two raphes of moxtars in each row^
or fixiy-foor in each powder-mill, wherein,
ufualty^ only twenty are uijpd ; and be beats
only ten pounds of powder with each mor-
tar. ^The expence of copper reortars is very
cor.rider«tble, as each mortar cofts twenty
pounds ; but then the mills are certainly lefs
liable to accident, and, if blown up, the mor-
tars are recovered."

Mr. C. gives a very favourable ac«
count of the Norwegian peafants.

" Norway is blelfed with a particular code,
cdlled The Norway Law^ compiled by Cricf-
felfeld, at the command of Chriftian tho
Fifth, the great legiflator of his country. By
this law, the palladiirm of Norway, the pea-
fants are free, a few only excepted on certain
noble eftates near Frederickftadt. But the
virtue of this law extends itfelf even to tbofe
ferfs, for no proprietor can have more than
one of thefe piivileged eftates; and unlefs
he polfe(res a title, or certain rank, and re-
fides on hii eftate, he lofes his privilege, and
tlie peafants are free.

<* TIte heiiefits of the Norway code are fo
Vifible in its general edfe^ on tlie happinefs,
and in the api>earauce, of the peafants, that
a traveller muft he blind who does not io-
ftaiitly perceive the difference between the
free peyfnnts of Norway and the eoOaved
valfals of Denmark, though both living under
the fame government.

<' Many of the peafants pretend to be de-
fcended from the autiaic nobles, and fomt
even from the royal line : they greatly pride
themfelves upon this fuppofed defcent, and
are careful not to give their cliildren in mar-
riage but to their equals in birth and blood.

" A curious cuitom prevails in Norway,
tailed odth nght, or right of inheritance, by
which the |>roprietor of certam freehold ef-
tates may re-purchafe his eftate, which ei-
ther he or any of his anceftors have fold, )>ro-
vided be can prove the title of his family.
But, in order to enforce this claim, his an-
eeftors, or he, muft have declared| every
tenth year, ac the felTions, that tlwy lay claim
to the eftate, but tliat tliey want money to
redeem it ; and if he, or his heirs, are able
to obtain a fufflcicnt fum, then the polleifor
muft, on receiving the money, give up the
eftate to the cdiJt man^ For this reafon, the
peafants who are freeholders keep a ftri^t
account of their pedigree. This cuftom is
attended with advantages atid difadvaotages.
As to the advantages, it fixes the afledtioas

or paid them a trifle, the peafant^t inftend of

** The peafantsof Norway arc well cloath-
ed and well lodged, and appear to poflefs
mure comforts and conveniences of life than
any which I have fcen in the coorfe of my
travels, excepting In fume parts of Switzer-

" They weave their ordinary cloth and li-
nen; they make alto a kind of fluff like a
Scotch plaid. The cloth u hich the men ufe
for their coats is principally of a ftone co-
lour, with red buitonholes, and white me-
tal buttons.

•* The women, while employed ih their
boufehold afiairs, frequently, as in Sweden,
appear only with a petticoat and a fhift, wi^
a collar rr aching to the throat, and a black
-iafli tied round the waifl. Their linen is re-
markably fine ; and as they nre ufually well
made, this mmle of drefs fets off their fhapes
to the highefl advantage.

•* The common food of the pcafant is milk,
cheefe, dried or falted fifh, and fomccimes,
but rarely, flefh or dried meat, oat-bread,
called jUd-h'od^ baked in fmall cakes, about
the fize and thicknefs of a pancake : it is
ufually made twice a >e.ir. I obferved a
woman employed in preparing it: having
placed over the fire a round iron plate, fhe
took a handful of dough, and rolled it out

Our readers in the department of
Natural Hiflory will perhaps be pleafed
with the foUowidg curious experimenti
made in Sibeiia, hj Dr, Pallas, to afcer*
uin the degrees of heat in animals dur«
ing their torpid and natural Oate.

" Dr. P. having made an incifion into the
abdomen of a hedge-hog during iu torpid
Hate, ai)d placed Fahrenheit's thermometer
in its l>clly, the mercury rofe only to 39^^ t
and the animal gave no more figns of feeling
than if it had been a<^ually dead, as weU
whil(\ he was making the incifion as when
he was fewing up the wound, although the
animal was immediately afterwards put jnto
a uairn room, gradually recovered fi<»m its
lethargy, and walked about the chamber
with as much infenfibility as if no operation
had been pcrformeil.

•♦ The Do<ilor kept this hedge-hog in hit
houfe from December to the end of March \
and although the heat of the apaitment td
which it lay was feldom under 60 degrees^
yet it eat no food, and was never out of itt
torpid ftate, exce|)t once or twice, when it
was placed behind the Aove, in a heal from
77 to 80. Roufcd by that expedient, it wat
atvakened 6-om its lethargy, ttx)k a few
turns about tne room, and eat a few morfelti
but f<K)n lay down again, and palfed its tor-
piit months as Nature ordains.

" it is probable that tlie bodies of the(^
animals, who flecp during Winter, are grt*
dually preprcd for the torpid flate by a de-
ficiency of food, and a confbquent dimlnutioa
of natural heat ; for, a thermoi»^eter plunged

the belly of the hedge-hog in ia torpid
lUte.

** The following hSt alfo feenu ftill fur-
ther to tUoftrate the coojedurei that a cer-
tain date of bodf predifpofes to a torpid
Hate. A tane mannot, which had become
extremely fat during Summer in the Profof-
tor's hoafe^ condmied awake during the
whole Winter, although it was expofed to
the fome cold which threw the whole fpecies
into their torpid ftate in that part of Siberia }
nor was the Do6tor able to render it torpid^
creo with the aflillance of the ice-ceUar«
wherein he fometiipes confined it during fe-
deral days*

** By comparing this experiment with tlie
lleeping hedge-hog, which Dr. Pallas was
not able to roufe from its lethargy during the
whc^ Winter, except for very (hort inter*
vals, though expofed to a heat of between 77
and 80 degrees, it feems to follow, that a
certain Me of body is neceflary to tifift
Kalure in laying afleep feme animal;, to
wluch tliey are gpradually brought by a defi-
ciency of noorifliment about the beginning of
IVincer, when they fhtit up their holes, and
retire to reft, from inftin^tj and that the
impulfe of tlie circulation and animal .fpirits,
arifirg from heat or ftill feeding, fuperfedes
the neceffity of the torpid ibte, and prevents
their ^ing afleep.

'* It is alio a curious circumftance in the
eecooomy of Nature, that Dr. Pallas found
the-heat of birds more oonTiderable than that
ef quadrupeds; namely, from 103 to iii
degrees ; a wife arrangement of Providence,
I in proportioning the heat of tlie winged tribe
to the fuperior cold obtaining in tliat |>art of
the atroofphere wliere they range." '

tiom is fimple,intere(lin{r,and uniform; that
of modetn countries various in its fyflem,
more powerful in its efie^ upon the mind,
but frequently intermixed ami confuiied in iu

<* Comprehenfive furreys of this nature
are peculiarly calculatetl to fupprefs in m
that unmanly fpirii of fuperflicious vencra^
tion with which we contemplate the pocti*
cal charadlers of remote antiqu'ty. Con*
vinced of the influence of human caufes upon
human lal ours, we Ihall no longer refer to
the interpofiiion of a fuperaatural agency the
mere effufioti of mortal intellcA. We (hall
renounce the extravacant fiflions which
ha^e deihed the parentage of Homer, and
afcribed to flars and planets the dillributioa
and guidance of Genius. We (hall by this
means at once fupport our own dignity o(

truly noble mind, are then mod valatble

** We may here likewife filence the ma«
lignant caviller who would confine the praife
of originality to Homer alone, and degrade
all later poeu; to the fervile rank of imita-
tors. The fpirit of poetic genius did not
exhaufl itfelf with that illuArieus writerg
nor with his numerous fuccellbrs in Greece

fucceeding ages, in all it^ native vigour ^d

be transferred to remote ccnintries, in them

Tilege of the perfon of the King, but the
neceflary attribute of the power. The func-

a fovtcr. If ttiis power were not inJepea-
dent, he would foon be dedroyed by that
power on which he would depend. For exK>

F. $t8. Dr. Biflet was a native of Korth
Biitatn. and bom at GImMbert, near Donk-
«ld, in Perth<1^irc, in ih« year 1717. His
ftithcr was hy profeffion a hwycr, and wai
•fteemrd tn uniterftanc* Che Scotch law and
V e Latin language as well as any man in the
kingilom. In a letter written fome yeart
lince, after o^ferving that maity perfon^ who
bad heard of his having puhiiftied a work
on fortifications were at a lofs how to recon-
cile ilie meilical with the military charaSlerJr*
and were inclined to believe that he had hoc
a regular education in the line of his prufef >
Aon, he wilbed to have it made known, that,
after a prooer courfe of medical ftudies at
EUinharghy he was appointed, in 1740, fe*
€ond fnrgeoa to the Military-hofpital in Ja-
maica, and fpent feveral years in the Weft
India iftands, and' in Admiral Vernon's fleet,
to fee and know the difeafes of the Torrid
xone. The phyfician who ihidies Nature to
record her hiftory of difeafes, with their
lympftMns and nitural and accidental termi-
nations, whatever his fuccefs may be as a
i^nedical praAitioner, may juftly be faid w/^-
tsri n»m Jhigiotia. Hts obfervationt are not
pf lefs i^ue to pofterity tlian thufe of the
cantions and expert navigator who plans and
chalks out the unknown ihore. Having, in
1745, contracted a bod ftate of health at New
Greenwich in Janibica, he was under the ne*
feffiij 6f refigntng 1ms place of fecond furgeoii
Id his Majefty s hofpit^l there, in order to
rttnm to England, for the recovery of it. In
May, I7i*.6, he purchafed an etifigncy in the
4td regiment, commanded by the Right Hon*
Lord John Murray : an J by this tranfition,
his attention being tunnel from the medical
lo the military Kne» fortification became his
fevonrite ftudy. After a t'ruitlefs defcent 00
the coaft of Bi ittanv in France, in Septem*
ber, 1746, and palling a winter very agree-
ably at Limerick in Ireland, they were, in
the beginning of the next campaign, brougitt
into adion at San< berg* near Hulft; in
Dutch Flanden, where one Dutch regint^nt
and two of onrs, fuiforcd very much. Hav-
ing drawn a (ketch of the enemy's ap-
proaches there, with the environs, and,
fbme time after, a pretty corre^ one of
Bergen-op-Zoom, with thie permanent lines,
the envimns, and the enemy's firA paraMel,
which were prefented by Lord John iVttirray
to his Royal Highnefs the bteDuke of Cum*
berland, his Royal Highnefs was pleafed to
order him 10 attend the (lege of that fbrtrefs,
and give due attention daily to the progrefs
of the atuck, and to the defence, in order to
uke accurate journals of them 1 thus con-
ferring on him a diftinguifhed honour, of
which with diffidence he accepted. Theib
journals, iUuftrated with plans, were deli-
vered daily to Lord Jbhn Murray, who fop.
warded them every fecond or third day, by
ixpiefs, to liis Royal Highnefs the Duke,
who wafc then at Maeftficht, at tlie h^l^ of
"llvB alHed an&y| iriUarviiig ilm n^lm^ «Ka

Pi^ch army un^dr Marihad Saxe. Bavinf
foithfiilly performed that duty, his Royal
Hfgbne^ was picafed to cxprefs his approha*
tion by rccommentling Enfign Biflet to his
6race tbe late Duke of MonLigtie, who w^
then maf^er-general of the oi\lnanca, and
.wbo honoured him with a warrant as engi*
neer extmnrdinary in the brigaite of engh*
neers which was eftahlifhed to ierve in t(^
Low Cimfitries during the war ; and he was
alfo promoteil to a lieutenancy in the army.
The brigade of engineers being re-formed ait
the end of the war, and Dr B. being at ihm
fame time put upon the halfpny lift as lieti-
tenant, he continued to employ great part of
his time in the ftiidy of fortification ; and 'm
1751, after vifitlng France, iniblifhed hit
book '<On tlie I h^ry and Conftru6tidn cf
Fortiftcations," 8vo : and, in fome time after^
being unemplc^ed, he refumed his fbrnMr
profefTion in thie medical line, in whidi he
had been regularly educated. Being thin, and
of a weakly conftitution, Dr. B.chofetorefide
in a healthy village, for the fake of i-et<rement
and the benefit of a falubrious air, and retindl
to the vHlage of Skelton, in Clevelandy
Yorkihire, where, and in that neighbour*
kood, he ever after continned. In 17551
when a French war was impending, he pub-
lifhed ** A Treatife on the Scurvy, witti Re*
marks on the Cure of Scorbutic Ulcers," ia
16 1 odtavo pages,' dedicated tn Lord Anfon
and the reft of the Lords CommifTioners of
Che Admiralty. In 176a was publifhed hia
** Eflay on the M^iral Cooftitotion of Oreat
Britain," in 344 oAavo ^ges, dedicated to
Sir John Pringle, Bart. M. D.; in which is
fhewn tlte effle^ of the change of weather^
and of the feafons, on the difeafes of this
country, particularly of the duchy of Cleve-
land ; from all which obfervations it appears,
that the low, clayey land of this rich wheatea
country, in fpite of its vernal and autumnal in-
termiftents, is not the moft unhealthy fput
in the ifland. At the concluTioti is an inter*
dfting paper on the virttiesof the HeU(b6r0jltr
1Hfiximu$ Gcrrbafdi, tl}e Great BaftanI Black
Hellebore, or Bear's^fboc, in the cure of

worm, found in the ftomachs of children, aS
well as of grown people. In 1765 tha
Univeriity of St. Andrew were pleafed
to honour him with tbe degree of M.D«
In 1766 he publifhed a vohime of ** Me*

8vo, 304 pages, cantaining zx papers on tha
climate and difeafes of the Weft Indies; alio,
fome chronical difeafes of this country, par-
ticularly the hooping-cough, fcorbutie itch,
and many chirufgical remarks, which (hew

Mr.URBAN, C9llegt9fArms^Nov,i7.

y^ w M^'jaiinc, p. 883, Dr.

w T w K.'p|>i» informs you, in
M A Ma general way, that 1
M )8( have hadily and indtf-

2ttL5^59()8Cjlf triminatcly blamed the

aut'iors of the "Biogra-
phia Britarinica" lor faying that the
Lady Arabella Sruart was "far from
being cither beautiful io her perfon, or
from being didin^uiifaed by any extra-
ordinary qunlitics of mind." In ruder
to free ni)reif from a ct^nfure which 13
delivered to the pubiick under fo *ery
rcfptftable an- aoihorrty, i inqft icqucft,
after Dr. Kippii*s rrxampte, that you
will favour me by inkrting what 1 have
faid on tl»e fubje£l, for the information
of fuch of your reacfcis as may not have
fccn my late publication

** The <«uiliors o* the Biographia Bri-
tannifa inform us, th.u the L^dy Ara-
bella ** was far from being beautiful in
her pci Ton." As It may be prefumed
that tilde gentlemen arc not very ambi.
tious of being eftcemcd hrit-r^ite judges
of pcrfonal beauty, 1 hope they will not
be much difpleaied at the evidence
which the engraving prcrixcd to thts
volume al^nrds againll their obterva-
tion. Bjt then lUty tell us, likcuife,

morials, vol. II.* p. 28 1, in fuppoii of
that alFcrtiun. Nwiw it is finguUrly un-
fortunate for them, that the informatiun
imparted by the pafiTage cited from Win-
Wood direftly invalidates the latter le-
ni-rk. It is in a letter from Mr. John
More to that miniltc , dated June iS,
1607. •• On Saiuiday lall," lays Mr.

fwered the Lords, at her examination^
with good judgement and dijcrfhon j but
the other is faid to be utterly wiihdut
reafon, crying out that all is but tricks
and giggs, &c." To prevent a mif-
conception of this fair lady's character,
which the accidental tranfpoHtion of
perfona in a book of reputation might
lead to, is my only reafon for noticing
the raiftakc. Were it likely that ihis
collci^ion fliould merit an equal (hare
of attention with that great vvoik, the
correction would be needlefs j for the
letter before us bears a fuHicient teili-
mony of the good fcnle, refined educa-
tion, elegance of manners, and lively
difpofition 6f the writer/* &:c. lUufira->

This extraa, I hope, will exonerate
me of Dr. Kippis s charge, by proving
that I did not mean to blame the au-
thors of the Siuj^iaphia Biitannica
merely for ufing the aliertions in qucf-
cion. How often writers are milled by
fallc rcpielciuations, how frequtnily
confuted by jarring and oppohic ac- .
counts, every man, who hatti employed
himfclf in hiftoncal and bidj^nDijical
relearche^, knows by painful cxpCf lence.
But in this c^le a lavojrrt.)Ie cviJcncc
is cited to pove an unfavourable tale,
and truth is called upon to bear witncli
to an error.

With regard to Dr. Kippi«*s note on
the iecood i.uprelhon, %%hich accotn,)a.
nies hi& letter to you, 1 freely cmlcls
that 1 never law it before, thoug'i I
confulied that edition. 1 met wich a
plain and pofiiivc dcclaiation in liio
very beginning of the article, and could
IcaiC'Jy expca to hnd it refuted, at the
diaancc ot tivc p^gcs, by a note which
has no mark of reference to tiie oojec-
lionablc p^flage in the leju. Had it
lailen under my oblcrvaiion, perhaps I
Ihould not have adverted to it j tor I
Liould have felt no incltnaii<m to lu^-

Mr. UnBAN, Lelctfitr, Nov* lo.

THE bridge uhich you once honour-
ed vwith the name of RiALTO, the
accidental monument of that l>r«vc king
Kichtrd III. which has brcn lorg'^Aeeui-
cd, and vimed by every curious ilrargcr,
^% one of the many fragments of anti(|uity
with which thi«> piacc aht^und*, dropped
ycHcrday on the grave of that Mo-
narch's bones*. The foundation on the
fide of Str Audio's well has been lattly
vifihly unctermining by the Oream thac
padcd under it. Its dcfliuQicn appealed
to me, iome time fincc, haAily apptoach-
ing. Jt fell yeftciday about it uVlocky
occa(iooed, I apprehend, by the waters,
which had fwcilcd by the late rains to
nearly of a level with the banks. I can*
not learn that any peifoo was paiTiog at
that lime, aithougti on a maikct'day.
The noifc it made in the water, uhcn it
fell, I 6nd was heard at fume confiuctr

The hiftory of Bow-bridge is too
tvcU known to need much of a recital,

• By another friend at Leiceftcr we
arc informed, that <* the whole hr:Jge dif-
api'C^^reU in an iniCant during the late floods,
ami tliat not even a blade of grafs on the
baitks feenis to have been damaged by the
f>.lling of the fide- walls. Mr. CraUock, of
Gumley, proprietor of the bridge, uifhed
much to have had it repaired ; but on in- '
fpedlion by fon\e mafler-builders, ^^ hen the
flood fubfided, it was foimd to be demoliihed
|»ail all recovery.*'

We have the plcafure to add, that a
beautiful view of it was taken lait fummer,
by Mr. Schoebbelie, for Mr. Nicbob's intend*
ed ♦• Hiltoiy of Lcicederihire.*' Eai !•

with matter of tdmiration and a(^oni(h«
inent. The undertakings of his capaci-
ous mind were beyond conception bold ;
hfs fuccefs in every one of them wonder-
ful. His deep knowledge of the learned
languages (\am{y:d him the iirft clalfick $
and his confummate (kill in geometry,
mcchanick>y and aftronomy, the firft ma-
themaiician of hi^ age,V)f which his va-
rious works arc noble teftimonics. In
his •* Praxis Grammatical we trace the
fame found and well-informed mind;
and to the bafis which he has there laid
arc we imlchtcd for every fuperftrufture
which has been raifcd at future periods.
But i^is penetrating genius, we nnM, did
not reft here : we lee him undertaking,
aiid even maturing to a (cience, the myf-
tcry of dccvphcring; a myfttry in which
no prior information was his guide, and
\vhich brought with it no index but the
pl-netr«iiion of the developer. And, in-
deed, in whatever deparcment we view
him, we may juftly fay with his gieat
contemporary Leibnitz, *' He was the
greated inftance ever known of the force
and prnerratioQ of the human under-
ftanding."

This fide of bis charafiler we may pc-
rufe with admiration ; we may rejoice in
feeing to how gr^^at attainments the hu-
mand mind is equal; oi', when we reflect
that he was our countryman, we may
perufe ir with a glow of triumph. But
there is a greater IclTon to be learnt from
the perufal of his life. While we fee
him, amidn the tumults of a civil war,
and amidlt the clamour of fa6iions, ftill
true to his King and the Conflitution,
and yet, as a friend to virtue, flill reve-
renced by the zealots of rebellion j when
we fee him amidll continual d.fappoint-
ments, and the repeated infolcnce of
ncglc^, ftiil ferving his country by un-
wearied and painful. attention, and never
defcending to that fcrviiity which might
have procured (what his valuable labours
never did) the wages of his hire; how
extolled does hel^pear above thofe whom
Fortune only had placed above hitn !
how fupehor do we fee the dignity of
virtue 1 His whole hfe was the bcft com-
ment on his own religious works \ and
he funk to the grave revered by thofe
Mvho in his life had negleAed him. Great

a Man, it is hi;» nobler praile that wc are

MEN of attentive obfervatioo and
ferious minds remark and lament,
that the great mafs of the Commons of
England have loft their SIMPLICITY
of character, which was all that reinain-
ed to keep alive and defend principles
of religion and morality in their minds.
It is no difficult matter toaifign the rea-
fnn of this lofs ; and it may nbt be in
the power of all the aftbciatiots in fup-
port of religion and virtue to make it*
up. The rapid extenfion of knowledge,
falfely fo called, is the great fource of
this corruption. , Far be it from me to
wiOi to enflave the minda of my coun*
trymen in the fetters of ignorance and
fuperftition ) but there is a tort of know*
ledge worfe than ignorance $ and when
fyflems and fentiments are propagated
that debauch and corrupt the mind, it
were better to keep the mind within the
bumble circle of its own original ideas,
however imperfcft or miftaken,

Sunday fchools, catechetical Ie£lures,
"and the moft impreffive addreifes from
the pulpit, may keep parents and chil-
dren from idlcnefs a ihort time, or
awaken reflexion for the moment { but
fuch temporary refiraint and fudden
convidion are not likely to maintai^i a
permanent efle£^.

The firft corruption of rnftic iimpli*
city was the increafed communication
with the capital, and the influx of mo-
dern manners. When my Lord, and
the Efquire, and the Rettor, left off
keeping Chriftnuis at the old manfion,
the country felt the want of antitnt ho-
fpitality and affability; the fick poor
man loft the foftering hand of his richer
neighbour or mafter, and the friendly
adviceof the worthy juftice, or pious pat-
tor. ]^ut when, they brought down a

fiitre who imported the fafliiont. inouU
^ared the charms, aod pradifed the (e*
du6^ioiis of London, an infenrible change
was wrought in the farmers' Tons, and
communicated to the whole parifli.
The tenants' daughters afpired at a
London life, and^ in purfuit of plea-
fure sTnd vanity, fell into the fnare
laid for their virtue and integrity. ^ In
the abfenceof the landlord only the'lofs
<J his company and eood influence was

* felt ; but in his prodigality and diflipa-
tion was involved the inxereft and pro-
fperity of his tenantry. Rack-renced
and ruined, they loft the comfortable
profpeft of providing for their families.
The Pharo-table and the rapacious ftew«
ard concurred to aggravate their diftrefs,
and drained the vitals of an cxhaufted
edate. To darken the profpedflill more,

' the reftdence of the good old landlord
is itfelf pu'led down, the materials fold
to pay off modetn incumbrances, and
the parifli left without a head.

It were well if the evil had flopped -
there. The fpirit of fa^ion invaded
the retirement of the ruflick; he was
duped to fet his hand to remunftrances
againd imaginary evilsnvhich he never
heard of; he was wrought upon by a
fcincied independence of the human
mind CO think Jor himfelf, but really,
under this fpecious delufion, becante
the dupe of others, and only thought
nviib them, without thinking at ail.
The miniAers of that tneelc and pure
religion, who fliould have inculcated
fubmiflion and fKnplicity, indilled into
their religious fcrvices an ef|ual inde-
pendence both of God and the Kin;;, of
religion and good govcmment. Con-
tented and happy in the eflabliflied reli-
gion of his country, the poor man was
(educed, by the example of his fuperi-
ors, tot|ucflion and quairel with it : re-
figned to his fate in the comfortable af-
furanceof a happy immortality, he was
perfuaded to think that his foul was
material, that falvation was in his
power without divine alfiHance, that
his Saviour had been a iialking horfe
to the miniflers of his Gofpel for
1700 years. Satisfied both with the
ccnflitution of his country and with his
governors, he is now taught that his
country has no conflitution, and that he
is felt-governed. In thus unltttling
the minds of our humhier fellow-citi-
zens, can we wonder at the tutal want
of principle which multiplies criminals
to iuch a degree that receptacles can
hardly keep |»ace with them, and wc

are (hocked with the frequency of our
executions >

I have now before me three trials for
murder in the county of Lincoln, 1769,
17^8, and 1791, where the crime, tho'
fullv proved, was to the lafl peitinaci-
oufly denied by the crimioais. I do not
(ay fucb denials have not happened be-
fore J but fcarcely in the fliort fpace of
thirty yearf, anc! in the fame count v.
Kut the fame want of principle which
hurries the upper ranks into the pie*
fence of their Creator and Jud^e by Ij-
icide, makes the lower ranks alike caie-
lefs how they meet him from the hands
of the executioner. In vain do philo-
fophers obviate the crime, as Hie coio-
ner'k jury the ignominy, by charging it
on lunacy^ Let us beware huw we
make fuch an apology for guilt, which
will fuperfedc the necelHty of huoiaa
judicature, and lead us to think the Al-
mighty Sovereign of the Univerfc ** al-
together fucb an one as ouritlvcs." I
might add the recent inOances of wil-
ful murder, iAfpired by revenge, in
men of educatir.M) fuperior tothe vulvar.

Another grand fource of the corrup*^
tion of the rufiic mind, is the introJuc**
tiou of theaucs into almofl every mar-
ket-town, either by authority of Par-
liament, or in defiance of it. Men,
fay the advocates for this increaling
evil, mud be amufcd. Be it fo: but
let not the amufcmcnt be a vehicle
of corruption of morals. Spnrts and
paflimes have always obtained among
our peafantry, but they are of a diU
ferent and an innocent nsture. The
Book of Sports niieU the indignation of
the graver minJs of tiie lafl century as
well as of the Puritans. It is enough
if the capital be the (ccnc of theatrical
diifipatiou, which was origmaity confi-
dcrcd by our hws as an appendage to
the Court, ard a privilege of ro-alty,
but can now eli'ihiidi itfdf, in defiance
of law, in ihc lai-ilfell village within
tlic limits of the Ptnny-poU, and al-
moil of the bills of mortithty. Whvn
ainufctncnts of cvt-ry kind gain ra/idly

It is the fame ui politics. While the

Can we wonder if the public refent-
meot it kindled againft the betrayers of
the beft of cau(es, and i^ when thofe
who would turn the world upfide down
propofe their innovations in terms nei-
ther moderate nor decent, they met with
a Tiolent reception ? Far be it from me
to encourage outrage and riot I But if
our countrymen have loft their simft,!-
CITY, they have not loft their senses;
if they are not proof againft inlinuatioa
and reducing example, they are too
high-fpiriced to receive a barefaced in-
novation with temper. If we wi(h Old
England to return to what it was in the
beginning of the laft, or ctofc of the
precedmg century , we muft change the
manners and principles of the grett,'of
the fupertor ranks, and of the dafs of
men who pretend to diffufe better know*
ledge than ever was known before.

Your very ftnfible correfpondent
Carleton, though he is treating of a dif-
ferent fubjeft, p. 810, has hit upon one
fource of the evil here complained of.
•* If gentlemen," fays he, " would con-
defcend to mix more with the common-
alty, they would be amply requited in
this [an acquaintance with Shakfpeare's
language] and many other things. I
fpeak experimentally.*' The mixture
he here fpeaki of it not that vulgar, le-
veling intercourfe, above reprobated,
which degrades the highefl ranks, but
fuch an affable and informing inter*
courfe as would e^alt and improve the
lower ranks.

It is a melancholy profpe£k we have
before us, Mr. Urban, when the good
old ways, and fentiments, and manners,
of the « ruftic moralift"are thus tightly
cfteeroedi that, when the wealth and
improvements of Great Britain are at
their height, her national manners
ihould be fo groin y corrupted as to en*
danger her prolperity : for, without
wiflimg to invert the order of Nature,
and exalt the majesty of the people
into democratic anaichy, one may be
bold to affirm, that the simplicity
of a people is the greateft fecurity of its
mnocence and happinefs. Q^ Q^

AS thetriftmg account of the Luck of

•n )t»tjr notice, I will venture to give
.^' :cjtl an irnperfecl dcfci ipt!i>u of ano-

ther curiofity in the fame neighbour-
hood, called Tht Gun ft Cave. Froa

Edenhall, my fellow-tnvefler and I
were conducted to the banks of the ri-
ver Eamont, where we were gratified
v'ith a fight of this curious den. Dif-
ference of opinion, unavoidable 10 noft
cafes, prevents mi from calling it *• m
Mfmol ar horrid ptanfion.** A flight of
^c^t cut out of the rock (not fo terri-
ble as have been reprefented), led ui
nearly halfway down a bold precipice}
and, by advancing a few yards to the
right, we came to the mouth of the
cave, where a part of the roof (other*
wife not altogether fafe) is fupportcd
by a pillar in the centre. This pillar
was evidently intended for the convcni-
cncy of hanging doors, or fometbing of
the fort, to prevent furpriae; and the
remains of iron gates, I am told, have
not been long removed. Here vifitors
wifli to perpetuate their names, but a
foft mouldering ftone is unfavourable to
the purpofc} none of more antient date
appear than in the year 1660. This
rock, « ftft rtd fand'ft^me^ appears of
vaft depth, and the dipping of the /rtf.'ii
about %i degrees Weit. The cave at
the entrance is about 9 feet high and xo
wide, and extends in length about 50,
when it becomes more contra£led la
every point of view. Sugnant water»
and dirt within, add to the natural
gloominefs of the place, and give an
unfavourable impreffion. But the fitu*
at ion is in many refpefls beautiful— a
fine winding river flowing at the bottom
of a lofty precipice (not fo bold indeed
as to alarm) had to me at Icaft a plcaf-
ing effe^. This, with a very extcniive
profpe^^, engaged my attention fo much,
that I wondered I had overlooked, at a
very little diftancc, on a flat on the op*
pofite lide of the river, the church com*
monly called Ntne-Kiriksper Ntrnt'Churckg
and the pariih, Nint'Cbureb parijh^ from
its being dedicated to St. Nintan, ** a
Scottish faint, to which kingdom," ac-
cording to Dr. Burn, " this church did
probably belong at the time of the dc*
dication." A church fituatcd at the
extreme bounds of a paiifh, far from
any inhabitants, is not fo uncommon a

I am convinced is not impoflible, efpe-

we pafled the cave in an oppolite direc*
tion, and came to a grotto, with a flone
table in the middle, and nearly feattd
round, all cut out •f the folid rock.
This is faid to be done by the late Sir

A CORRESPONDENT, p. 696, de-,
(ires to have an explanation of a
picture opon glafs, which you h^ive en-
graved, in which an abbot whh bis cro<*
zier is rcprefentcd between a wounded
hiod on the one hand, and a man richly
attired, in a fuppliant poftuie, on the
other. It is the well-known figure of
the celebrated St. Giles, the patron-faint
of many churches in this and other king-
doms. The hiftory of this renowned ab^
hot is mueh confuted; owin^ to his being
confounded with another abbot of lh«
fame name, and yrho refided in the fai^
province near two ctnturies before him.
The beil account of him ilates, ihst he
was a Grecian by birth, who, leaving hiv
own country, came by fea to the mouth
of the khone, in which neighbourhood,
retirinc; into a deep foreft, he led an her^
metical life, beir)g fupported only with
herbs, and the milk of a tatne hind. It
11 further added, that the re^v^ning King

AS vou readily give a place in your
Magazine to whatever may pro*
mote the public welfare, I hcg l^ve to
lay before th? publick the following hiotSff
which I hope may be of genet al, utility
if properly attended to.

Cyder being an article of confide rahle
importance in the countries along the
Severn, as welt as in the Weft of Eng*
land, I fubmit the following propofal to
the confideration of the manufadurcrs of
cyder.

A nonpareil taken from* a tree in Oc-
tober, whi'n ripe, is hard, and of an acrid*
difagreeablc tade. Give nonpareils at
that time to a fruiterer in Covent -garden^
and he (ball, in January, return it roel*
low, and of an a^reethje poignant tafle*
It is faid that thu improvement in the
ftate and taOe of the apple is broBghc
about in the following manner. Appks,
carefully picked off ihe tree, are laid in a
heap in a dry room, and covered with
blankets, or o.her coverings, in order to
make them fweat. When the apples
have fvveated as locg as experience has
taught is neceflary, every apple is wiped
dry, and, if free from any blemilb, is
laid up in (lore in places in which the ap-
plet are defended from the alterations of
the air as to cold or warmth, and of wet
or dry ; and may be thus prefeived in
peifc6tion till next fummer.

Let us compare this method with the
common pra£ltce of farmers in preparing
their apples for cyder. They are gene-
rally fhak^n off the trees, gathered, and
laid in heaps on the ground, expofed to
dews, rains, or frod. Formerly the
heaps were very ihallow $ but fome late
experiments have taught them, that the
apples mellow more kindly when the
heaps are made thicker. This is one ftep
tending to an improved prance. The
benefit of being fweated by the fruiterers
if, that the thin, watery, acrid juices
are carried off, the apples mellow by
keeping, and their juices become mild,
and fomewhat of a vinous ufle. The
pradice of the farmers is ^uite different ;
tor the apples, being expofed to the air,
in (lead of ioiing their thin acrid juices,
imbibe more water while expofed to tlie
dews and rain ; and the apples touching
the ground Toon acquire a diegrec of pa-
trefafiion.

The apparatus for prefling the joicB
out of the apples is generally under co-
ver. That building Ihould be extended
to receive thenaas they are gathered, and
two or three floon nay be ludi oawbicli

the ippJet may be pUced in order to be meot to undertake it- I own, for one, I
fweiiid. The apples on the ground- wifli him to purfue hi« plan, »« R^^^'^g
flo^r Ibould be laid on a bed o! llraw, may fumifli matenah for a work of this

and covered with hay, if ihetpe is no other
covering at hand. The heaps on the
wooden floors need only be covered.
When they begin to orcfs the apples,
they are eafily conveyed from thence to

kind, both from its antiquity, its natural
and provincial fituation, and the confpi-
cuous figure that it has made at different
aerasy as well as from the many eminent

Health.

The important good confequences of
Cold- bathing needs nothing (aid at this
lime of day to recoromeud it to the notice
of the dcbiliuted. The experience of
mankind has caught its ufes and •ffcfls \
which have been further fan6iioned by
many Writers, and fome of the mod emi-
nent io the mediciil world, who have, at
different times, very ably employed their
pens 60 its fubjcfk. To the Utter for its
virtues, and to the prefent enlightened
Faculty for the propriety of its ule indi-
viilually, the appUcaiion of invalids is
Tccommendcd. When thit is determined,
it i) the mode only I am about to pre-
fcribc.

Waving, therefore, every endeavour
at attempting to olTcr any thing new on
the general fubjedt, as to the medical
powers of the Cold Bath, I Ihall only
briefly relate what led me to ufe the mode
recommended below ; what were its ef«
ttfls on myfelf, and on fome others who,
by my advice, have been in the habit'of
ufinz iti adding a few pra£lical IVmts,

there is much lefs chance of taking cold^
an accident to which the moft tender are^
even with the greateft care and circum*
fpe^ion, occaGonally expoied in ufing
the Cold bach in the ufual way. This
circum (lance hit induced me for fome
years paft to recommend, in the dipping
weakly children at a diftance from the
fca, the addition of as much fea or bay
fait to the water as would make the iblu*
lion nearly at fah, or racber a little falter
than fea-waier ; and the event has ever
fally rewarded the pradice, and fubftan*
tiaied the pre^rence ; for I have feeo
fome unlKalthy children more beneficed
by a few weeks baching in this way than
by months in frefh- water; and others,
who have received no benefit by frelh
lon^ continued, very foon get colour,
fpirits, and ftrengih, rrom a change to
the faked. The formation of fucb a
bath was eaiy for infaQts, but lefs ma-
nageable for adults. To avoid, there*

Cold Bath, fuch temporary ioterrupctoot

the recolIe6lion of never having caught

another advantage or two of its own i
the firft and not the fmalleft of which is,
that by it, the towels being rendered
rougher, the fri^on in drying after the

ICO3

pleafant* The folution may be repeated,
after three or four times ufi^g them, by
ihofe who arc fatisfied with one fct of
towels fome time, as vafily as once by
the more nice. The roughnefs given to
the cloths, when dry, by the fait, ajlirt-
ed Drobably by the flimulus of the falc
itfelf, adds very confiderably to the
much-to-be-wiOied-Tor g4ow. And as, in

of the operauon, it would feem wrong to natural ^nd artificial. The common

proceed without urging the prance of it
to a much greater extent than is cufto-
mary, and that immediately before as
ivcll as after bathing. I believe, from
my own experience, that the goodeffe^
or this remedy will, in many cafes, be
confiderably incrcafed, if, before the im*

ihower-bath will be much improved ia

ready for ufe every where in tne Prullian

The edid from which this account and
the following abftra£^ are taken, was
publiihed at Ncufchatel, in Swifferland,
and tranfmitted by a counfcllor of his
Pru(Gan Majcftv's Chancery there to a

ofiPer it for infertion wuhout remark or

The principal article u(ed in this ^#-
cifie rmidy is a beetle* the body of
which is (without the head) preferved in
hooey, and oectAonally bruifed and mix-
ed up with it for ufe. This beetle, cock-
chafer, or pr$fewrmbit is by Linn«us
arranged by the name of miiUs, in the
clafs of coiioptira. It is the amtiemm'
tbrnrui defcribed by ScboefFer, and not the

fcarabius mihtBMiomt the common beetle,
but a plump ixStOi without wings, yet
covered with the common brown cafes,
not fliioin^ nor hard* but of the confif^-
ence of thm leather. It hat three pair
of feet of unequal length 1 the body,
thick as -a finger, is ilreaked with blue,
green, and chicBy red colour, and it often

They are gathered in May, in warm and
dry days, in ficldt and nieh meadowt.
They are fo tender, as, when touched,
to emit a mucilaginous yellow fluid bf a

order, therefore, not to bruife them, they

.Aould be rair<Ml with a fmall flat flick,
and turned over into a glafs or glazed
vcir«l, out of which being Aid on a plate,

.one by ont, the bead is (with a fharp
knife) to be fevered from the body,

. which is immediately to be dropped into
a jar of honey, fumcient in quantity to

•^vcr a jiumbcr, In chit iiWi^ they may be

preferved two or three years, the jar bcw
mg clofe flopped, kept in a cool, drf
plMe, and fome honey fupplied for whac
may dry away and leave there uncovered.

For ufe, 14 beetles, with the (loney
adherent to them, are taken, bruifed, and
mixed on a plate ; to them are gradualljr
added the following ingredients : of tbe-
riaca, or confcrve (rob) of elder, two
ounces I of ebony (havings pulverifed,
two drachms; Virginian fnakc-rooc in
powder, one drachm | filings of lead,
one drachm I and of dried mufbrooms,
► or fungui Imricis^ twenty grains i all
which are by degrees, in the order hew
dated, intimately to be mixed, made into
pafle, and, when uken, xubbed down id
the confiflence of an ele^uary. The part
remaining untaken mufl be kept cToi*
and cool, like the jar uuth the beetlet.
The dofe of pafle is according to age and
the flrength of the patient t for men,
from 801030 years, t drachms { at tj
years, \\ drachm i from 10 to 10 yean,
one drachm I from 10 to 6 yeart, 50
grains 1 at two and one year, 14 grains;
and for children at the breafl, the nuria
is to take the dofe that fuits her age, the
quantity for women being one-fourth or
one- fifth lefs than that prefcribed for meji»

equal parts 1 one given at night, the

The perfon taking a prefcribed dofe of
this medicine is to abftain t4 hours from
eating, and la hours from drinking; if
thirft becomes unfuflferable, he may be
allowed fome elder- flower infufion, or
common tea. He mufi be kept in a tem*

Consistency op Mr. Bctrkb.

TO follow up my proofs of Mr,
Burke's fyOcm oi fentiment upon
thefe matters being uniform and coo-
fiilcni, 1 proceed to bring forward fome
rif his declarations, made in his public
letter to the flienfts of Briftol, 1777, on

<< All the antienty honeft; juri^cil opinU

•log s to check and retard Che headlong couric
of violence and oppreRioa. Tliey were in-
vented for this one g»od purpofe ; x\\ax whac
was not juH Ihould not be convenient. Con*
vinced of this, I would leave things a^ I
i()iind thetn. The old cool-headed general
law it as good as any deviation didUted t>y
profent heat."—

" I do affure you (and they who know
me publicly aad privately will bear witnefs
to me), that if ever one man lived more aea-
lous than another to the fupremacy of Par-
liameiit, and the rights of this Imperial
Crown, it was myfelf. Many others, in-
deed, might be more knowing in the extent
or in the foundation of thefe rights. I do
not pretend to be an antiquary, or a lawyer,
or qualified for the chair of metaphyficks. I
never vcntiu-ed to put your /o//</-interf(ls
i;pon Jpiculative grounds. My having con-
ilaotly declined to do this has been attributed
to my incapacity for fuch difquifitions } and
I am inclined to believe it is partly the caufe
—1 fliall never be a(hamed to c«nfefs, that
where I am ignorant I am diffident. I am,
indeed, not very folicitous to clear myfelf of
this imputed incapacity, becaufe men/* even
lefs converfant than 1 am in this kind of fub-
tleties, and placed in Aatioos to which I
cught not to afpire, have, by the mere force
of civil difcretion, often condiK^ed the a^iirs
of great nations with diftinguiOied felicity
md glory."

<* The King's negative to bills is one of the
jDoft indi(^uted of the royal prerogatives;
and it extends to all cafes wliatfoever. I am
far from certain, that if feveral laws which I
know had fallen under the Aroke of tliat
fceptre, that the publick would have had a
very heavy lo(s. But it is not the firof>ri«ty of
the exercife which is in queftion. The exer-
pife itfelf is wifely forborne — its re|)ofe may
be the prefervation of its exillence ; and its
exigence may be the means of faving the
Conllitution itfelf on an occaTion worthy of
Wringing it forth."

'* To aA on the principles of the Conftitu-
tton, with the bell men the time affords, has
been from the beginning the rule of my con-
dntX — and 1 mean to contimie it as long as
fuch a body can, by any polhbility, be kept
together. For I Ihould tliink it the mod
^eadful of all offences, not only towards the
prefent generation, but to all the future, if 1
weie to do any thing which could make the
miriutefl breach in this great coufervatory of
free principles." ■

At the ele£lion of reprefenratives in
parliament for the city of BriOol, in
1780, Mr. Burke, in his fpeech on that
occaAon, fald, f^veaking of the unhappy
event of the Amtrricm war,

'* I am a Royalift, 1 blufhed for this degra-
4iuou of the Crown — 1 am a Whig» 1 biuJh-

•dfbrtheMMOOQr of ParliaMtnt— il tmm
true En|liAmian9 I feit to the tfuick for tkm
difgrace of England^I am a manj I fekior
the melancholy reverie of human af&irt ia
the fall of the firit powei- in the world."——

In another parti on another fuhjt&f
he fays,

" I did not obey your inflniftions ; No. t
conformed to the inilrudlions of Truth and
Nature, and maintained ytmr hitereft againft
your opinions with a conllancy that becamo
me. A reprefentative worthy of you ought
to be a perfon of inability. I am to look in-
deed to yonr opinions ; but to fuchppimoos
as you and I my/tbave five years hence. I
was not to look to the flafh of the day, I
knew that you put me in my place, with
others, to be a fii/Mr tf the Sfat^ and not a
weathercock on the top of the edifice, exalt-
ed for my le\ity and verfatility, and of no
ufe but to indicate the (hiftings of every fa-
fhionable gale."—

" Such is my idea of the Conflitution of
the Britifh empire, as diflinguifhed ftxrni tho
Conftitution of Britain i and on thefe grtMmdt
i think fabordination and liberty may be fuf-
ficiently reconciled through the wliole ;
whether to ferve a refi^i9g f^ulatt/l, or a'
Cadioos demagogue, I know not, but enough
for the eafe and happinefs of man."— — -

It is the fear only of occupying too
great a portion of your valuable Repo-
fitory that prevents my bringing for*
ward larger and more abundant proofs
of Mr. Burke's confiflency. Though
this jufl confideration rcftrains me, yet
I Ihatl take leave to remark, that who-
ever diligently penifcs' Mr. Burke's
writings, and examines hi8#condu£^, ia
a fpirit devoid of party, and with an ata-
jaundiced eye, will haveoccafion to ad-
mire the extreme and jealous attention
which he always pays to the ipirii of the
Britifh Conflitution.

Men placed in an eminent fvtuation
in the State, and who by their talents
and their hi^ chara£ler are looked up
to on every great occafion, are frequent-
ly bbliged, in their confidering the fame
and different quefliona, in different
points of view, to treat them on prin-
ciples very oppolite to the original
flandard of their fcotiments. But in
Mr. Burke we lee none of thofe obli-
quities, either to the right or to the
left, whenever the Conilitution of Eng-
land was, either dire£Vly or collaterally,
the object of his confideration* To pre-

mankind, appear to have been the great
ebjcA of his labours.

I \vi(b it to be undcrflood, that I do
not atttmpt the vindication of Mr.
Burke's political writings. Though I
wery truly and very finccrtly give my
i\mhQtv\t to Wu fcDtiments in general,
and to h.s iatedo^^rineson our Guvcro*
cnciu in pariicular, 1 do not feel my (elf
(qualified, not it it my prefcnt object, to
undertake his defence in thofc pirticu-
lars. To do juHice to his method of
cordu6ling an argument, and of his ad-
^refs in canying convi6iion on topicks
of general law and government to the
breads of every fober and difpallionate
enquirer after truth, would require a
rate of talent commenfuratc at lealt to
thofe great powers which have by him
l>een fo gloriouily cscrcifcd in the fup-
port of that happy fyAem of govern*
ment, under which it is the good for*
tune of our age ao^natioo to exil>.

The gratitude uhich, in common
vith every contented cirizcQ of this free
and well-tempered government| 1 owe
to Mr. Buike, would prompt me with
zeal and alacrity to enter upon the de-
fence of his writings; but as nothing
but my gratitude would }u(lify my
afpiring to fuch an hoBour, I retire
from the talky contenting m^felf with
having done that, which; white it ma«
nifeAs my refpe£l to his great labours in
the political vineyard, is no difficult of*
fice f 1 mf an the clearing him from the
charge of ioconfidency.

1 hough many wicked and many mif-
taken men have conipired to malign
Mr. Burke, and to traducp him on
every poUiblc ground; yet I am pcr-
fuaded .that, iu the gieatncfs and the
purity gf hts own mind, he fecks and
finds that folace, which his ov\o truth

Now, the man of fortune, whofe

&c. Thofe again, who purpofe to rife
in the world by exceHing in any an or
foience, Aich as public j>rofcflors, or
who wifli to carry the arts on further,
and to improve them; thtfc may ad-
here clofely, and almoft folcly, to rha
Hire of fcience they have chofcn to cuU
tivate, and to Ihrne in, and need not
trouble themftlves much with any thing
elfc.

But now the grcateft part of ftudcnts
are deftmed for, and obligated to, a
profelTion, whereby they are intended to
fupport themfclvcs, or, as we expreft
it, to get tbfir .'hing ; law, phyfick, or
divinity $ and it muft be abfolutcly ne-
cefl'ary for tijcm to follow !ind profeeute
that, whatever it be. Nothing is more
difgraceful than for a man to be ign;)-
rat>t in the fcience he avowedly proftflea
to ftudy, or even to be but meanly qua-
lified therein : and therefore it would
be highly abfurd for fuch, how ftrongly
focver the in^ ..nation may bend towajds
other purfuits, to think of indulging hi
them to any immoderate or extravagant
degree. Such can only take in the la-
teral branches of fcience, for fo 1 would
call them in this cafe, -as amufements^
without ever lofing fight of their maia
and priucipal objc6J. Whereupon tt
may be proper to obfervc, that, as
amufemcnt^ of fomc fort arc ncctflfary
in every line of the three profeifrbns,
fuch may confcqucntly be chofen as are
moft congenial to the natural difpofitioa
of the party.

Few are bom with fuch exqtiifite and
fublime talents as to be capable of im«
proving any art or fcience, or making
any new and important drfcoveries in
them, as Bacon, Locke, Newron, Hal-
ley, &r. ; and therefore it fcldom caa
be prudent for pcqnle to lay out their
whole life in profccuring any one fingic
branch, unlcu when funfiftcnce and emo-
lument depend upon it, as rtated abovcj
and as in the cafe of architcfl^, painters,
fculptors, and the like. Wherefore,
for the common run of mankind, who
muft not think of aiming at fupercmi-
nence in any f.culty, the moft eli<;ible
qualification is an umvtrfal khO^Khd^e^
a fmattering in (though ihit word car-
ries with it but a mean idej), or a fu-
perfiotai acquaintance with, tvery fci-
ence. This is for the purpofe of the
a^rteablty that in convcrfanon you
ihould know a^ much of hiftrtry, chro-
no'ogyt gcog' ■)hy, &c. as may enable

I only add, that a coropct«nt fkill in the

The books alluded to, it is natural to

a merit in them adequate to the writer's

in contemplation to obtain a faculyy un-

tombi to trace fo rayftcrioas a bufiqefs s
and for this meaCire, indeed, the word*
ing of the infcriptioft (ccmt to have of*
fercd a fair challenge to the coriout in
literature.

Since that time it occurred to me to
coafult the Biographical Di£^ionary»
publiflied in Zro, 12 rolumet ; in which
I find the author's life very laconically
given : and we are thence informed,
that ibe fix books recorded in the infcrip-
tion are, i, " The prtfent war (1647)
paralleled : or, a brief Relation of the
Five Year* Civil Wars of Henry III.
King of England, with the Event and
IlTue of that unnatural War, and by
v^hat Courfe the Kingdom was then fet-
tled again. Extrafted out of the mod
authentic Hiflorians and Records." It
was re-printed in 1660 under this title,
««The late War paralleled/ &c. a.
•* England's Wants j or, feveral Pro-
pofalt, probably beneficial for England,
offered to the ConAderatlon of both
Houfcs of Parliament," 1667. 3. " The
converted Prefbyterian ; or, the Church
of England juftified in feme Practices,"
Uc, J 668. 4. '* Anglia Notittai or, the

Srefent State of England, with divers
.eflfxions upon the antieni State there*
of.'* 1668. The fecond oart was pub*
iiihed 1671, &c. " This work (fay
the Biographers) has gone through ma-
ny editions J that of 1741, now lying
before us, is the thirty-fourth." 5.
An Academy or College, wherein young
Ladies or Gentlewomen may, at a very
moderate Expence, be educated in the
true Proteftant Religion, and in all vir-
tuous qualities that may adorn that
Sex," &c. 1671. 6. " A Dialogue be-
tween an Engiifhman and a Dutchman
concerning the lafi Dutch War," 167a.
Dr Chamberlayne is alfo fiiid to have
made three tranflations from the Italian,
SpaniCh, and Portugdefe, printed in
London 1653 *•

From the above accounts, therefore,
upon collation it appears, that the books
^4o. a, 3, 5, and 6, are thofe which the
deceafed ordered to re(i with him. But
if fo, why (hould the broad hint in
queftiun have been fported by Dr. Har-
ris, as if meant toehold out fomething
for a paulo-poD-future entertainment
and proBt? Dr. Swifc hat, indeed, if I
miftake not, dedicated one of his pieces

to Prince Pojlmij \ but the immediata
publication of the piece itfelf left no
room to doubt what it was : and fo far
we are much obliged to him. One of
our late prelates is faid to have dire^ed
«// his printed fermons (and 1 think
they amounted to ««/, in double-gilt
quarto,) to be buried with him i b^ppf
to have refted from fuch labours, and
that his works fo followed him. I never
heard that either of them were difiocar-
cerated ; and p^lTibly it was of little
confequence to attempt it. But on the
prefent fubjef^ a different opinion maj
be hazarded j and if any cfefcendant ei«
ther of Dr. Chamberlayne or Dr. Har«
ris, or, if the ingenious Biographer caa
throw a light upon the fobjeCl, it will
much oblige many others, and in parti-
cular. Yours, &C. iMDAGATOft.

THE Poor Man's Prayer, which yoa
have infertcd in p. 852, and there
faid ro be written by Dr. Roberts, £qu*
Mafter of Eton fchool >] was.publilhed
in the great fcarcity of corn in 1766. If
it was read by Lord Ciiacham, it was
lefs likely td produce the defired effed
than the addrefs from the city of Loa*
don, which was prefented on the 23d
of September, to the Kine, praying hint
to (lop tlie exportation of com. This
addrefs produced a proclamation by the
King in Council on the 26th, prohibit-
ing the exportation * ; a meafure of tha
mod abfolute neceflFity, but which fur-
niflied the Oppoikion of the day with m
topick of accufation, as being a ftretch
of prerogative. It was on this occalion
that xYx^tcfinfiJIint patriot Lord Camden,
defending the meafure, made ufe of the
remarkable exprelTiod, *' That, if it was
a tyranny, it was only a tyranny of fift/

vafTals. Except Belhavcn and fletchcri
whona he hardly faw, and Argyle^ Stair,
Mircbmont, and other free fpirits,
whom delicacy forbids me to mention,
there were few in the kingdom who
could cncou'kge the poet to rife above
the mediociity of a fettered fludent of
•divinicy^ or to infpire his mind with
that noble fcntimentof independence by
^hich his life and his writings are cha-
ra6terired and diftinguiihed. In the fa- ^
mily of Jcrvifwood, to which he wat
introduced bv the kindred of his mo^
ther, he received the carlieA attentionsi
and fome vcrfes of his, addreflcd to one
of that family, for the ufe of fome
books, ^rc, I believe, dill preferved as
an early fpecimcn of his genius.

That the lady, indifcreetly alluded
to in the Life of Thorn Con, ihould have
encouraged him to try his fortune in
London, is highly probable; but that
(he fhould have defertcd him after*

fpontaneous patronage i for' nothing is
more natuial to patrons than the defirc
of feeing due actennpn paijd to their re-

ment of honour that iball reflefl upon
ihtmfelves.

The triflinjj Hory about his lofiiig his
bundle on his way from Wapping to
]Maltet*s houfe in London, ard the want
of his fhoes, is in the peculiar (lyle of
malevolence which charadlerifet the
work of Johnfon os a biographer.

The only occafiun I had the mif*
chance to meet Johnfon was at old ^tra*
han/s, the tr^nflator of the firft fix books
of the ^ne'td, in Suffolk ftreet, where
I found him and Mallet preparing thefe

membcred to have heard them repeating
this ftoiy with glee, after haying cut
down Diydcn, Gavin Douglas, Trapp,
and the other predcccifors of poor Stra*

the tcAimonv of his being a Gentje*

degree of mod of our modern poets.

the lame omiliion that is with great juf- mei but probably, however it might

THE advertifement, dated Chefter..
ton, Cambridge, July 14, i790» dates,
that *' this volume, though it may be
'* confidered as a complete and di(iin£l:
•* work, was put to the prcf* by Mr.
•' Robinfoo wirh the view only of exo-
'* nerating the Hiftory of the BaptiHs,
** which he was writing, of the fubje£l
''of baptifm. Had the author lived«
'< he would have publilhed two, three,
'* or more rolumes of eccleliafticai hif-
** tory, under the title of Tie Hiftay of
•* Baptifm. From the refearches which
** he hild made into the authentic re-
** cords of church antiquity, he flacteied
*< himfelf he (hould be able to exhibit
<< the hiftory of a clafs of men, whofe
*' title to be denominated the difciples
'* of Chrift was infinitely better found-
** ed than that of thofe who have hi*
** therto proudly and excluAvely af*
** fumed to themfelves the name of the
** Church* In this work Mr. Robinfon
'' took great pleafure, and profecuted
** his inquiries with fuch intenfe appli-
'< eation as is thought to have impaiied
*< his health, and to have brought on
'* the fatal diforder of which he died.
•« The MSS. which he left on this fub-
'< je£t are voluminous, but neither ar-
*' ranged nor finilhcd. It is the inten-
** tion of his family to fubmir.them to
" the infpedion of fome of hia learned
<< friends, on whofe approbation the
'* publication of them will depend.*—
** The whole of the prcfent volume
*' was finiflied, except the preface and
** recapitulation, berore the lad year of
<* his life. He had engaged, in the
'< fpring, to preach the annual fermon
** for the benefit of the DsITenters' cha-
** rity-fchool at Birmingham ; and he
** promifed himfelf great plealure from
'* ao interview with Dr. Prieftley, and
<* other gentlemen of that place. The
<< phylician did not difapprove of the
*^ journey, though he wilhed it could
•* have been deferred a week or two
** longer j and his family flattered them-
*' (elves that the exeiciieand company
** would have the mod b<:n«ffici%l effc^s
** Qa nu x^eatth and fptrus. On Wcd>

<* nefday, June !« he fet off from Cbef-
** terton, with his Ton, in an open cjir-
*' riaee, and, travelling by eaft (la^s»
** arrived at Birmingham on Saturdajr
" eveping, apparently not at all the
" worfe for his journey. On Saadajr
" he preached twice, in the morning at
" the new meeting-honfe, and in the
" afternoon at the old. On Monday
*' evening his friends were alarmed for
'^ him, from an exceffive difficulty •€
" refpiration, under which he laboarod
'* for fome time ; but on Tuefday he
'' revived, and enteruined the conopaay
'.' the greater part of the day, and the
*^ whole of the evening, with all that
" eafe and vivacity in coaverfation far
'* which he had ever been remarkable.
" He retired to reft about 11 o'clock,
" and probably died without a ftrug^lcy
" for on Wednefday morning he was
" found neatly cold, the bed-dothta
" were not difcompofed, nor the ftm*
** tures of his countenance in the leaft
'< didorted. It was always his defire to
'* die fuddeHly and alone. He departed
*' this life, at the age of 54 years aud
'< 8 months, in the houfe of William
'< RuiTell, ^fq. at Showcll*green, near
" Birmingham, and was interred by
**^ this gentleman, with everv poffible
** mark of refpe^, in the Diflenteis'
'< burying- ground. Dr. Priei^ley and
*' fcveral otJher DilTenting-minifters paid
" the due tribute of refped to the re* '
'< mains of our much-eAeemed friend.
<*' We intend to publilh an authentic
" biographical account of Mr. R. in a
•• ihort time."

In a fliort, well-written prefice Mr.
R. gives a candid account of \k\i work ;
the dclign of whicA was, to fliew, among
other arguments againft intuit baptifin,
how inimical it is to perfonal liberty and
liberty of cnnfcience.

The plan of this hiftory may beft be
learned from his recapitulation of it.

'< Chap. I. attempts to narrate the
origin of baptifm in an order of God^
executed by John the Bapcift.

** Chap. II. ihewt John's baptifm was
by immerfion in water.

*' Chap. III. treats of the perfons bap-
tifed, and attempts to prove they were
only true believers; and here Jefiis is in*
troduced as Lord of the NewOcconomy.

•*Chap. IV. and V. enquire whether
baptifm were in ufe among the Jews
before John-, or among the Gentiles j
and it is fliewn not to have been, and
that It was altogether a new and diviae
appointment.

^'Cbap. VIL treats of the improve*
ment of the inflitution by Jefui Chrift,
^ho did not alter the fubje6i or mode,
but extended the commiflion to baptife
fo as to include the Gentiles of that age,
and all mankind, viho might become
•his difciples in future ages.

*' Chap. VIII. (hews that congrega* ,
tions colle6led by his immediate A*
poftles were baptifed by immerHon;
and that none but believers appear on
this occafion: and here ends facred hif-
tory, without exhibiting any infant, or
any fprinkling.

'•Chap. IX. X. XI. narrate theEaft*
ern, Roman, and Mohammedan fa*
Tonrite pradice of bathing i and Chap.
XII. (hews that the primitive ChriAians
ere£ted (imilar buildings for facred
bathing, and called them baptifteries,
from baptifm, which they pra£lifcd by
immeriion then.

" The next four chapters defcribe fe*
Teral baptifteries of the Eaft and Weft
Cbriftians, and prove that believers
were therein baptifed by immernon.-—
Chap. XVII. introduces artifls deputing
baptifm, and unwarily obfcurin^ what
they meant to elucidate. - Chap. XVI 1 [.
treats of fonts, natural and artificial ;
and (hews that a confufion of names in-
troduced a confuHon of thines ; by
which means the original pra^ice of
baptifm became more corrupted.

•'The baptifm of infants, th^t is, of
minors, fo called in general, follows ^
and here it is obfervable that the equi-
vocalnefs of words went to add to the
corruption of baptifm.

" The next chapier /hews that weak
fbndnefs of parents, and the enihuHarm
of the monks, helped vet more to cor-
rupt baptifm, by rransferring to^ babes
an inftituie proper only for men.—
Chap. XXIl. and XXI f I. Ihcw that
Africa, the lead enlightened pan of the
world, cherifbed the baptifm of babes |
and that AuguAine, a pretended fainta
but an illiterate hypocrite, of wicked
difpofuions, brought it to perfeflion
there in the 5th cenruryj but the novel
pra6lice* had no extent or duration
worth mentioning.

«* Chap. XXIV. fhcws bow the Eafl-
ems depraved the inf^itute, «ind brought
it down gradually to children.

•* Chap. XXV. examines a pretended
canon or lome poor African monks,
who, to fupply their wants, imported
African baptifm into Spain, in the 6th
century. — Chap. XXVI. (hews how the
iLmpcror Chaiicmu^ne ia>polcd on the

Saxons a Jaw for infant baptifm, to
ferve the political purpofe of enOaving
them and others, and how other defpott
copied his example, and turned the in«
flimte of Chrifl into an engine of (late-
Chap. XXVII. accounts for the exten-
five progrefsof infant baptifm by (hew-
ing how well it fuited the intereft of
various claifes of men, and the very
corrupt manners of thofe ignorant, en-
daved, and barbarous times.

'* Next follows an account of the (e-
veral confequences of making baptifm
neceifary to babes, and fo brings on the
laft (lag's of the corruption of it, by
baptiiing infants unborn, who could not
be immerfed, but might by art be wet-
ted; and fothe priefts found themfelfcs
obliged to affirm, that moiHeninga part
was equal to bathing the whole. Bap-
tifm had been pra6lifed many a^es, ia
divers countries, by ail forts of men;
and it had been connected with a great
variety of other pra£licei. Thcfe con-
nexions are treated of in chap. XXXf.
and XXXII. ; and they all imply that
the inAitute bad been made very free
with, to ferve fecular interefts, by men
who had not regulated Religion by its
only (iandard, the Holy Scriptures; and
that even thefe abufcs tell the original
form.

"Chap. XXXni. traces the hidory
of afperfion, and (hews that the monks
introduced from Pagan rites the pra^ice
of fprinkling holy water, which, in the
end, wasmiftaken forChriAian bitptifm*

«* Chap. XXXIV. treats of the real
practice, of primitive baptifm; which, in
fome countries truly, and in others
falfttU, is called Anabaptifm ; and the
three following chapters narrate the
prefent (iate of baptifm in various
churches, Eaflern, WcOern, Greek,
Roman, reformed and renovated by the
original pattern.

THE ftyle of this work is very un«
tqual: there is a great aiedation of
fine words, let fpeeches, and (biiioquiesi
meverthelefi, when the author (uCera
bimieLf to glide into the Ample aarra*
tiTf y he hat frequently the power of in*
terefting hit reader. Many flirewd re^
marks are interfperfed throughout thic
work, ibme ibuad reafoning, and much
morality i but it ejihibiu no great
knowledge of the world, or its com*
Bioncft forms: and there are foma
whole pages which bring Swift's
** Fluttering fpread thy purple p'mions''
firongly to remembrance. The fecond
and £ird volumes are (u, very far fu-
perior to the firft 1 but we had often 00-
cafion to quarrel with the forced intro*
tfudion of fuch words as tuMfiwUmenitf
€§mtrmdi^lmu^ $nmiiCf.J^iitmHiiij^ empa^^
iitmtidt and the like. On the whole,
amongft the multitude of novels which
are daily poured forth, this ranks on the
better fide of mediocrity.

Mr. Parley left Pondicheny the 6th oC

in twenty -four days from the I fie of France^
and from thence, in two maqtlis and eieveii
days, in the Medlifa frigate, to Europe. Htt

From the bed of his recollection, it doth
not appear that Lord Cornwallis ever re«
oclved the (Jighieft check from Tippoo dur-?
ing his march from Bangalore towards Seriii^
gapHtnm.

That, during liis march, Lord Comwaltk
had been joined by the Mahratt^ horfej from
22»ooo to 1 5,000 in number.

That, on Lord Comwallls's approach to
Sering afvatam, he prepared for attacking tho
out- works on ilie — — r, at two o'clock A.M«
but, the rain falling with great vkdence, tlic
army did not react) die rendezvous till be^
tweeM ten and eleven A.M* by which means
the enemy had time to prepare. The attacks
however, itimedbtely xonmien^ed, and tho
put-works were carried bv Horm. Tippoo
aiid his army were compel ed to (helter
themfelves in Sering.ipatam, where, it was
reported, a faro'me prevatlett

Tne .rains cuntinuing to fall, Ti|>poo's
army was thereby faved, and Lord ConiwaU
lis, being luuler the necelBty of retreating,
had reav hed Bangalore { nor duCh Mr. Parley
rscolle^^t ttiat fippoo madi any attend to

Tl;e Political S(ato of European AiEots
* has received but little alteration fmce ourlaf^
publicatJon. The emigrations from in-ante
have indeed much increafed by oppoHrion ;
and there is now no hope left of eftablifluilg
the new Conilttution without bloodfhed*'

It appears to be the wiOi of the furrmibd*
ing nations, that the anticnt form of tlie de-
fpotic government of France may be rt*
ftored ; and fome veiy extraordinary fteps
have been taken to get the Kin^ wholly into
tlie hands of ll>e Fugitives for that (urpoire :
but tlwfe Itcps foem to have been taken by
men who have more at heart the graiiflca-
tionofcheir own ambition, than either tl»o
life of the King, or the happincfs of his peo»
pie. It is by no me;uis |>ort)ble for a bf-
ilander to fathom the true motives by which
his Swedifli Majcfty is governed on the pre-
fent occafion. His condud is paft finding
out ; and the Decbration of War againHf Ids
fubje^s by the Algerines is not more myf*
terious than his propofition for waragainft
the French nati6n. Time, however, 'will
loon develope thefe myfleries.

If we fee reafon to ccniclude, that neitlier
the difafler that has befallen our troops in

life to John,'l)is younger brother, who
died reifcd of it about 1337, and, having
no iiTue, his brother was repoITefred of it,
I think we have here aufhority
enough for concluding this John to be
the bon (not b^nnt) comfagnon here re-
corded. His chesrful or convivial tiun
might recommend him to Prince Edward,
or a diflinguilbed fpirit of gallantry to
his mother. In fhort, lie mieht be wtiat
we now call a /hrewd cleverfellow ; and
it appears, from the icanty circumdancet
in which he died, that he was no greac
occonomift. Perhaps he fpent snore on
the tower of Stoke Albini church tbaa
he could afford, at leaft if the traditioa
be true that be was founder of the
eburch, and the Rot to whom the arms
on the South fide of the tower are to be
appropriated s or, as he feems to have
been a favourite with his brother, the,
lord of the manor, he may have honoor*
ed his memory by a cenotaph in thit'
church, or by allowing him to refide on
his manfion here : for his father and an*
ceftors lived at Kirk ham, in Yorkihire*

This Jono will have been great great

that th« feat of this fahutous monarch

freqncntty mentioned in our old poetical
romances concerning him. Ic is faid, I
thmk, that there is a chy at the boctpm
of it. The origin of tbcfc local tradi-
tions is to be attributed to the Cambrian
Briroos, urho kept potfeiBon of this part
of the country long after the Saxons, and
even Normans, were in polfcflion of the

but in or near Wales, Cornwall, or Cum-

your correfpbndent had not immediately
from Percy's RtHquei^ is incorreftly
printed; but it is neither vpry ancient
Bor very rare. He has taken^ it, I am
perfuaded, from Clarke's Sitrviy of tbi

cite the true aiithority, choui^h ic may
not happen to bfc the moil refpe£lable.

Eamont for Bimot) is a (light corrup-
tion of the Saxon Ea-mutb, i.e. thcwa-

this river flows. A Saxon name for a ri-

I (hould be gUd en know wlttiher its ir-
ruption might not have cakern place (ub^
fequencly to the fcctlement of that people.

P. X066. That the regalia of Scotland
bare never been fcen fmce 1660 is not
true. They were fcen, examined, and a
▼ery minute defpription taken of them,
IB the prcfence of a confiderablc number
of ptrfons, on the 26th of March, 1707,
when they were formally dcpofitcd in a
chert within the Crqvvn-room in the caf-
tlc of Edinburgh. This, however, was
afiually the lalt time of their being fecn,
though they aic (Irongly fufpefted not to
be there at prefent. And, indeed, if it
be true (as the old Earl of Surrey feems
to have thought when he talked of fightr

Concerning thefe appearances inanr
hyporhefes have been formed, and

Mifcellany thtq'jeftjon was firft brought
forward by C. 3enngton, whofe enquiry
failed of nRceting attention. It was re-
introduced by J. M. (vol. LX. p. 710)

at the back of his boufc, which '' haa

aS'ronts the memory of ''our great dra<*

folly of having entcrfained and eocoa*
raged a belief of the circles being really
caufed by Fairies, The exiftecce o£
Fairies, Mr. Uiban, is an elegant chi«
mera, admirably applicable to the Tup*
port and crobelli{hment of (everal kinds
of poefy. It is a fiftioo fo truly poettcal*
and fo particularly concordant with the
excurftve fancy of Shakfpeare, that it is
no wonder that that Child of Nature
Ibould avail himfelf of it, and inter*
wear c it in his dramas. The efe he haa
put it to in his ** Midfummer's Night's
Dream" is fimilar to the ufe Pope has
made of the Rolicrqfian fyftem iq the
** Rape of the Lock." In other parts
of his works Shakfpeare has applied it
10 the way of embellifhmeot, as two in*
genious poets of the prefcnt day have
done likewife in ** The Village Cu»
rate," and the poetical romance of "At*
thur." (Sec Village Curate, p. 38, and
Arthur, p. 1S4}. Mr. Pope, in his
dedication to Mr». Fermor, ha» implied
his want of faith in Sylphs and Gnomes :
but as the unknown author of *• The
Village Curate," and Mr. Hole, the
writer of "Arthur," have not particu-
larly implied any diibelief in the Fairy
fyltcm, J. M. may polfioly attribute to
them the fame abfurdity as he ha« attii^
buted to Shakfpeare, and he may do it
with as much reafon.

I HAVE fent you a drawintr of the
▼cry curious ihrineof Sr. Wcrburgh,
a Saxon fiiint and princefs, which it
very well preferved, and makes the
epifcopal throne in the cathedral church
of Chefter (fis plate II). The other
parts of the thror)e, fuch as the canopy,
&c. arc of wood, and very ill i'uircd to
the elegance of this ftru6ture. I have,
therefore, not troubled vour engraver
vrith copying a piece of workman fliip fo
uncouth and he^ry. Aa ornamental
canopy, c-.mpolcd of Cjorh c aichcs,
and admirably adapted to the aichitec-
ture of thcihrinc, has been deiigned by
an ingenious artift of thi$ place; and it
would give great pleafure to every loVcr
4)f ccclefiallical improvefnents to fee it
cKccuicd. As foinc ot your readers
may be unacquainted with the htHorical
account of this antient (liuflure, I take
the libeity of fubjoining an extr<i6\ from
a pamphlet that was publilhcd at Chef*

the Earl of Pimhroki, a nobleman who
had filled many hi^h employments in the
ftaie, as Lord Prtvy Sul^ Lord High
A^i^ai, &c, and who was diftinguiflicd
by his lore and knowledge of letters, and
for his patronage of learned men. To

fertor of Revolution principHfsr and

af£reed with his own. He wrote in fome
Weekly Journals of the time, and was
confidered as a man of great, learniot'

without any cenain income, he married,
about that time, Mr^. Anm Eeckitizb^m,

The fpirit of party ran high io the

time of Giorge the Fiifl y and, as Cooke

was confidercd as an excellent Greek

fcholar, peihaps party firfl indored him

to enter the lifls againft Pope. However

this he, in 1715 he publiftied The Battle

of the Poets, a poem in which Pope^

Stvi/t, and fome oihtr^^ were tr«raied

with much frecdgm \ and be tranflated

and publiflied the cpifode of Therjites^

from the fccond l)ook of Homer's lUadt
' to (hew how much Pope had miftaken the
* author in his tranilation of the Gre/i.—'

For this attack Pope has configned Cooke

CO " rverlafling fame.** in his Dunciadt l "i- ir a . / 1" -

. and in his\p;ftle to Dr. ifr^ir/A*pr. In He f«ms himidf aft, tried of having re-

Dulnefss in a fpeccli 10 Curl,

** Be thine, my ftationer ! this mngic gift,

fa\s,

In a note to an edition 1 have of the
Dunciadf publilhcd by Pope in 1729, he
fays :

The Spy alluded to in the Preface, and
exprclsly named in the poem itfe'f, was
SdVJgef who, it ftems, lived in convivial
f»mi)iarity with many of Pdpt*s literaay
enemies, and, at the fame lirnc, courted
Popt with much fervility. He is faid to
have turniflicd Pope with molt of the pri-
vate anecdotes of the authors mentioned
in the Dumiad. Cojke, in a note to his
poem fays, " Mr Pofe fecms to have
had the fame perlbn in his eye, where^
fpcaking of himf Ui he favs,

** Nor like a puppy iliggled thro' the town.
To fetch and cany fin;, lon^ upand down."

Cardigan Weddings.

THE manner of their folennnizing
their marriages among the meclia-
nicks, farmers, and common people, in
Cardiganihire, is peculiar, I think, to
this country, and its borders*

When the young couple have agreed
to marry with the confent of their pa-
rents or friends, they agree to meet,
Ibme refponfible perfons alfiflingoneach
ftde, to fettle the fortune, in writing, if
there be any fortune in money or lands.
This they call DjttJWg i. e« appointing a
day. Then the bans are aiked, as m
ether countries: and the day of mar-
riage is always, or mod common I v, or*
dered on a Saturday; and FncTay is al-
lotted to bring home the 7Jii»J«ii, or
chamber, of the woman, if (he is to re-
fide at the man's houfe ; or of ^e man,
if he is to reiide at the houfe whtre the
woman lires.

This chamber of the woman contains
generally a valuable oak cheft of wain-
fcot work, and a featherbed and bed
doaths, if {be is fo rich, with fometimes
m good deal of houihold furniture,, col-
le&ed bv her mother for Tome yeArs.
This is ret up by the friends of the par-
tiea in ample order. The man's part Is
to provide a bedftead, a table, a UrtlTer,
m pot, and chairs. That whole evening
it employed in receiving prefcnts of
money, chcefe, and buuer, at the man*s
boufe from his friends, and at the wo*
man^s heufe from her friends. This is
called i^wn a Gwrrgys, or purfe and

firdle, an antient Britiih cuftom. Bur
fliould have taken notice chat, a week
or a fortnight before the wedding day,
an inviter or bidder (G^aboddnvrjf
goes about from houfe to houfe with a
long ftick with ribbons flying at the end
of it, and, ftopping at the middle of the
floor, repeats in Welib a long lefloa,
partly in verfe, to invite the families
that h« calls at to the wedding of
Ibeh and fuch perfoni, naming them
and iheir places of abode, and men*
tieningthe day of the wedding, and the

forms in profc give the idea of it, with
lefs trouble of tranilation, it is omitted).

In proof of his intimation that the
majority of the nation is againfl a repeal
of the Tcft-Uvvs, the author exhibits
two ftatements of the votes for and
againft that queOion, in the years 1736,
39, 87, 89, 90 : from whence it is fairly
concluded, that the Diflfenters have
gained 00 ground on that point Hnce
. the year 1736. It is curious to obferve
the mutability of opinion in theDilfen*
ters on the deciHons of the Commons.
When, in 1789, the majority ag^inft
the repeal «as but fmall, then the
Houfe of Commons was adequate to
determine on this buHnefs: but when,
in 1790, the majority againfl it was 189,
then, forl'ooth, the Houle was incompe-
tent, and the Reprelcntation incomplete!
So much do men's judgements vary with

** Privste fentimentr are ccrtwnly beyond
the cognizance and controul of the civ'd ma-

terpofe' between a man's confcience and his

are open adls of condu<5l, and become cogrfi-
zable by the civil magiftrate to the extent of
any pofitive public law.

The pamphlet ends with Resolu-

to nothing more apt than to wiJd horfcs

AUTHORS of juft reflexion, an^
writers of a corre£t tafle^ the in^
ventors of fables, and ibofe who have
^rtil'ed them ip the ornaments of ele-
gant language, introduce their relations
]n the following manner.

In ant^edt times there reigned over
^he empire of Chiaa a monarch, the
fame of whofe greatnefs and protperity
extended to the extremities of the earth,
and whofe imperial fway was as iilulUi-
pus as the meridian fun. Princes of
high renown were pleaCed to fufpcnd
in their eari the ring of vajTalage, anc)
inighty kings bore upon their (boulders
cnngns of a willing fubjefiion to his rule^

* Sir William joites, in his Pi^ace Co the
Perfian Gramnuir, celtbrates this work as
the bed in that language. A more particular
account of tl\is paraphrafe of Ptlpay's Fables
Is given hy Mr. Cbainibers in the Af^tttc Mif?

Through the infloenct of his ^i^ice, as iir «

Succtfsful generals and wife minidert
ftood in conAant attendance upon the
borders of the royal carpet, and beneath
bis lofty throne fat eminent fages and
philofophers perpetually meditating the
welfare of the Hate. The trealuriet
were filled with jewels and coins of va*
rioiis ktlids. His vt6loitou« armies tx*
ceeded the computation of numbers.
Humanity tempered his courage, and
feafooable feverity Aillaided the oujeftf

ole, and the mildneis of his nature in-
lured cafe and comfort to (he loweft oi

hearts of tyrants.

** Let juftice grace the regal crown,

Thk monarch had a viaeer, a guar-

The firmncfs of bis temper held fad the

i^nd at the affiurs of the kingdofii»
by bir happy management, were in the
mod flouriihiog condition^ he ws^s called
KhojiAaRay (aufpiciouscounfel). And
HtimaiuQ Fal deliberated upon no n^at-
ten of importance without the alfiftance
nf KhojiQa Ray ; nor would he enter on

vice. Without his content be armed
not for the field of b^iile, nor without
bis participation would he repofe upon
the fcftive mufoud ^ of the banquet-

fary that, according to (an Arabic fen-
tence) << confult your friends \n buii<<
oefs," great princes Ihould not take any
i|eps*in nia,<ters of governnocnt without
xhc concurrence of grate and wife men,
and that all rulers ihould dire6\ their
condu£^t and frame their laws, by the
wifdnm of able niiniAers and intelligent
counftfllorsi that, agreeably to ••no
people take counfel except that people
wjioin God ba»h dire£led for the (uccefs
of their affairs/* whatever proceeds from
them may have a tendency to good, and
be productive of fecui^ity and eaic to the
human race.

VERSES.

'• In all aff.urs deliberation is neceffary ;

bappy iflue."

It hap{>cned one day that Humaiuo
Fai went out a- hunting, and Khojiita
Kay, like the genius of his good fortune,
attended in his retinue. The expanfe
of the ch^fe by the aufpicious prcknce
of the king became the envy of the lofty
heaven, and the celctiul eagle f fought
the central earth to be the prey of the
royal falcon. The well- trained animals
of the fport are now eager in fearch of
game. The fpotted leopard is all eye,
to admire the beauty of the black- eyed
fawn^i and the dog, armed with lion*i
fangs, learns a thoufand tricks of the
fox to gain the acquaiounce of the hare.
The towering hawk, like the arrow dis-
charged from the bow of the archer, di-
rects his flight to the heiffbt of heaven.
And the falcon, boimti^l to the hun-
gry, with bloody talons tears tbe veina
from the tbroats of the birds*

Mr. Urban, Dec. 14.

I HAVE juft purchafed the four num-
bers already publiflied of Mr. Moore's
" Monaflic Remains," which do equal
honour to that gentleman and his two
able coadjutors, Mr. Schnebbelie and
Mr. Parky ns. I cannot, however, but
ezprefs my furprize that, in a publica* .
tion fo profefledly antiquarian, one
fliould meet with fuch a number of mif-
takes for fafls. 1 know not what kind
of Chronicles the gentlemen concerned
make ufe of} but furely a very little
cai:e would enable them to diflinjguifli
between hiftory and romance. Thus,
for inflance, in the account of *• Mid-
dlcham Caftle, Yorkfliirc," we are told ^
that "King Edward IV. was imprifon*
ed here by the Earl of Warwick (after
he had taken him in his camp) ; but the
Archbifhop of York, brother to the
Kirl, permitting the King to hunt ia
the park, he made his eCcape :" &c. an
anecdote which theCompjier fecms very
judicioufly to have adopted on tbe cre-
dit of no leU authentic an hido'ian than
Mr. William Shakfpeare. But, who-
ever was his authority, I fliould have
expe£led a member of the Society of An^
tiquaries to have knowi) that K.. Edward
IV. was never either taken or imprifon-
ed by Warwick, and confequpntly could
neither receive permilHon to hunt, nor
make his efcape. 1 will not deny but He
might have paid Warwick, or fome of
his family* a vifit at this caflle. He was
a^^ually there, as appears from Rymer,
in 1464.

** Charles Seymour, T> ikc of Somer-
fl!t," It is iaid, *• obtained Cucketmoiitb
calUe from the NoithumbeiUnd family,

litie» the lafl earl.*' ThUiSoes not look
like the informatioD of a inai\ who bat
a diAin£k idea of what he is writing
about. AH the Percy cftates were, on
that marriage, conveyed in what the
lawyers call HxxSl feitlement, aod ous^hc
to have belonged at this moment to the
Duke of Northumberland. Bur the
Duke of Snmerfft, on the Marquis of
Henford's coming of age, prevailed
with him to difmember thefe vafi pof-
feHions in favour of his daughter, who
had man ltd Sir William Wyndham,
baronet; and this, Mr. Urban, is the
rcafoQ why Cockermouth caAic *' nuw
belongs to the Earl of Egremont."

In the next page we are told, that
*' Robert de Clifford enteruined heie,"
that is, at Brougham caftle, <' Kohert de
Baliol, King of Scotland, when he came
hither to hunt.*' The Aurhpr has been
lucky enough to hnd a king of Scotland
who was never before known 10 exift.
1 (hall leave him tocoire£i the miftakei
but fuch inaccuracy is not very pardon-
able. ** It is not known," he adds,
<' how it was alienated from the family."
I( was never alienated from the famdy^
bein^ at thts moment the property of
the Earl of Thanet, as hcir-gencral (by
a daughter of the CounteJs of Temr
broke) erf the CliflfonJs, Earls of Cum-
berland.

1 hope this will induce the gentlemen
concerned to be a little more accurate in
their future accounts \ or I (hall be ui^-

Min p. 1022, wilhes to know the
9 meaning of '* he does not moife"
a Norfolk phrafe when a perfon does not
feem to recruit after a ht of illnefs, or
does not thrive in the wotld. It ap-
pears to be the verb belonging to nef-
forti which, with fome of its family, is
ftill found in French. Moifon has been
in our language. . Chaucer ules it; and
Tyrwhiti*s Gioff-iiy explains it, ** har-

THERE is a neighbour of inioc, an
ingenious (but retired) man, who
amufes birofelf pretty much in philofo-
phical fpeculatious, and whofe theory of
the Univerfal Deluge I (liall probably
hereafter lay before you. Ac picfent I
beg leave to communicate an hYpotheBs
of his, which may perhaps be found
worthythe conii^teiation of your learned
readers. I believe it to be original.
Svippodng the miraculous prolongation
of the dav in favour of Joflxta co Im^e
been by an interruption of the duunal
motion of the earth, he (on principles
which he is readv to explain) conjec-
tures Deucalion's Flobd to have been the
natural tSc(k of that interruption. As
he had no book of chrouology to confu c
for the dates of thefe events, 1, at hiS
requell, looked into one that i happened
to have by me ; and I think tiie coin-
cidence fufficiently accurate to cxciie

ijttd from ibe German.

WHEN the mift of ignorance that
•vcrfpread the middle-agcs was diffi*
pated, and mankind began to fee and
feel the link by which Virtue and Sci-
ence were united, nntiuns (ive fpeak
licre only of thofe of Europe) acquired
a literary name, not only by purfuit of
the learning of the antients, but by their
attention to the literary pro^rcfs of their
l)eighbours. The works of Genius' that
Italy, that Firance, that England could
]boaft« were well known to each, and
certainly contributed to the improve-
ment of all. Germany, however, af-
fords a Orange exception to this remark ;
for, wonderful to tell 1 not half a cen-
tury has elapled lincc her literary cha*
)ra£ter was totally overlooked, and held,
as it werCf in dertfion aud contempt.
The produ£tions of Qefner, Goethe, of
l^lopUoch, of Zimmermann, &c. have
at length convinced us that fuch cop-
te;iipt and deniioo were mii'ptaced a^d
iiodefcrved, and Germany at prefent
podeflfes, in the fcalc i.f Science, that
v^eight flie fo well deferves.

To him who loves to trace the cha-
faAeriftic features 'of different nations,

^ ** The numerous EaAem harams are

the popular talet and atrt of any con*
try muft be peculiarly acceptable. The

produces on a Dative of Swttaerlaod S
affoniihing \ the fingiag of it aevubili
to melt him into tears.

The prefent Popular Talet of the
Germans are five in number: " Ri-
«'childaj"— "The Chronklei of the
*«^Three Sifters ;"—** The Stealing of
•• the VeUi"— "Elhn Fieaks, or. The
« bevcn Legends of Number Nipj"^
and « The Nymph of the Fouoiaio."
The ftory of *• Richtlda" polTelles a
great degree of originality, togedier
with a ftrong caft of fatirical humour.
The obfervations on con(ciencc are
laughably, novel and welUrumed. The
•' ChronKles of the Three lifters" are
entertaioing and interefling. The pic-
ture of a knight- errant k highly co-
loured in the cbaraderof Rinaldo. Did
modern time's produce fuch knights, we
(hould indeed lament, with Mr. Burkcg
that *« the days of chivalry were pad"
The "Stealing of the Veil" is a well-
turned fatire on the recent rage for air-
balloons and acnal expeditions. The
** Seven Legends of Number Nip,*' aad
" The Nymph of the Founuin,*' poM
equal nwrrit with the preceding ulcs.
We cannot help remarking, that in tb«
character of Number Nip there \\ aa
infufioi^ of Shakfpeareao originality.
He wantons at pleafantly and "as
** lightly o'er the green" at any of the
elfin chara^ers in the MUffmmmr Nigbfi
Dream. Of thefe uJes, •'Number Nip^
is the moft popular, and certainly the
beft written. We have often heard oaf
of hit legends repeated in Germany to
an enraptured audience by a Ipecics of
gipfeys, or rather Troubadours^ who
travel from village to village, fipgiog
old airs to a miferable hurdy-gurdy, or
entertaipmg the villagers withilighvof^
hand tricks and legendary tales.— To
thofe who value genuine humour, ori«
gmality, whim, and anecdote, we re*
commend thefe popular ules, certaia
that their opinion will coincide with
our own.

Our adventurer fet out from Tangicf
on Sept. 30, 1769, and reached Ta-
rudant, the refidence of his royal pa*

plaint to be a decay of nature, and
defe£l of fight, and obfervcd an a*
tnendmcnt in a fortnight ; but, ;^teT
fomc weeks, before his recovery was.
completed, the prince wa« ordered^ on.

phyficiao to his fathc^r, the Emperor of
Morocco, where he arrived Dec. 3, af- .

Nov. 30, and was followed by the
prince, who, n<'twith(landing the bene*,
fit he found from his prefcriptlons^ here ,
difmi^ed him in a rude, unhandfo/n^e
manner, with n» other reward than a
miferable horfe, a gold watch, and ten.
dollars. After a month*| deUy^ and
repeated folicitations, he received A
iumnioas to con»etot|)e Emperor, whOf
without feeing him, ordered him to at-
tend one of his fultanas in the harenw
This brought on attendance on feveral ■
others of thefe ladies. He was at laft •
permitted to leave Morocco, Feb. ia«
Z790, and reached Tangier on the a^th
of the fame month, and Gibraltar 00
March 27. What became of the prince

quefted that we wonid order every bullock

< locks, bad been under the neceility of de-

* ftroying the battering train.'

that the wants of the army had at length

ceive he is to be called a friend. Fricnd-

forms no more than a duty which is de-
manded of tbofe on whom he is depend-

Worthy Sir, Sept. 30, 1767.

MY good friend Mr. Lloyd of Cow-
den has nmott me word lately,
that hit. Ton has obtained leave of you
to tranliribe a manufcript copy of not'
Ai»/,and that you were fokind as toin-
fpe6t his tranfcript. I am very much
obliged to you for this favour, and hope
I ihali fome time hence be enabled to
give a better edition of it than either Dr.
Gale or Mr. Bertram ♦. 1 very much
regret that I live at a gteat diftance from
any public libraries, fuch as the* Bod-
leian and Britifti Mufeum. I am very
fenfible there are trcatiires in each that
the £ngli(h know nor the value of. I,
upon this account, fometimci regretthat
I did not enter into J ejus College f,
when I w^ent to the Uuiverfity ; for I
might have picked out tome btiffg there,
whereby I might have been enabled to
foliow my favourite fiudtcs. 1 have,
however, not been idle, though I lay un*
der Co many di&dvantages. I have
tranfcribed all the works of the Aitiimt

f £vani was of M^rtou CoUe&e.

Bards that I could cOme 'at, efpeciarfyr
thofc of Talieffm, Llywarch H2n, A-
neurin Gwawdrydd, who were all con-
temporaries, and flouri(hed towards Che
middle of the fixth century. I have
likewife tranfcribed all the works of the
Bardt that are extant from the Concpjtd
to the death of Llywelin ap Gru^'udtf,
laft Prince of Wales of the Briii/h line,
il^in at Buellt about the year 1282 -*-
From thence forward the Bards arc fo
numerous, and their works are in fo
many private hands in North Wales,
that there was not that necefftty of tran*
fcribing them. As for the Old Bards
abovemcnrioned, copies of them were
grown fo fcarce, that I do not believe
there are above tbree in tbe kingdom »
and it was my good luck to meet with,
thofe that were tranfcribed by Dr. Da-
vies. I have not confined ^myfclf to
tranfcribe the works of the Bards, but
have likewife tranfcribed all that I found
curious in Our ancient hiOories. 1 have
two manufcript copies of the Triadis
and of Niitttlutt and many extrafls out
of others that are anonymous. In (hort,
I have tranfcribed what I found moii
curious in all the libraries of North
Wales I could have accefs to i particu-
larly from thatof Llannerch,Glodd4ith«
B6J Yfc<rticn, and Mr. Vaughan's of
Cors-y-Gcdol. Nobody, in fhort, de-
nied me the loan of their manufcripts,
but Mr. Vaughan of Uengwrt ) and I
have, after I tranfcribed them, returned
them all to their owners honefily, and
have their receipts now by ne^ Indeed,
I hgd no manner of encoucagemeni
from the Bifhops, .nor from any body
elfe; otherwife I might have done a
great deal more. But 1 did what I un-
dertook out of pure love tp my country,
and am forry to find my countrymen fo
backward in making ufc of thofe advan-

found I had no encouragement in

a great many blockheads, that could nut

IN my laft excurfion into Lciccfter-
(hire I was furiirifcd with ^ r»t*bt of
(to rac a vcrv) .finxular pbdeuumenon.
I was fcoing from Moulley to Knaptoft,
on Wcdncfday morning, the \^x.h of
September, 1791. Ther« was a very
thick, fofir on thegroumJ, which fcemcd

when I got on fonic high ground about
a mile from Mouflcy, the fog fccmed to
increafe, and I could fee but a very
fhort diliaccc from me, though the lun
was at my back. Iwasluddcnly ftruck
with a moft beautiful white arch in the
atmofphere, (imiUr to a rainbow, but
only of one colour, and that fo bright as
to dazzle the fight. It lafled only m
few ftconds, and then difappeared.

Having proceeded about a quarter of a
mile farther, the ground (till ' rifing,
another arch appeared, but cnnfidrrably
larger, and more brilliant. This did not
difappear fo fuddenly as the firA, but
Teemed .0 vanifli with the fog. The
diAance of time between the appearance
of the two arches was about twentv mi-
nures, and happened about a quarter
before fevcn in the morning. I have

If I read ri^ht, we mud fay, that the

the moft antient cftabliihments of this
nation now in being, and one of the
moft celebrated in our Saxon hiBory*
Ceitain it is; that the eOabliihment la

Holy Trinity and to St. Thomaii the
Martyr. A few hiftorical gleanings re-
fpcCting it may not prove unacceptable.
In 727, Ina, King of the Wed Sax-
ons, and Sovereign Paramount of the '
Heptarchy, religned his crown ; aod^
traveling to Rome, there founded (a«
we learn from Matthew of Weflmio*
fter) what was called theEnglifli fchool,
with a church adjoining, dedicated to
the Bleded Virgin, for the accommi>da-
tion of perfo6> of didin£tioo, w4ietheff

niition for literature or devotion might
lead to that capital of th^ Chriitiaa
world. Amongft other difitngiiilhed
pcrfonages who refided theie was Bur-
Led King of the Mercians, who, dying
at Rome, was interred in the aloicfaia
churchy which not being finilhed at
Ina's death, the latter was oucicd in the

In the latter part of the letter, the

In 1725, or 1726, Cookt publiflied
'*» The Knights of the Bath," and " Phi-
lander and Cydippe," Poetical Tales ;
andTeveral other pieces of poetry. The
former was evidently meant to attract

« Oh, Jemey Thomfon I Jemey Thomfoo.
ohr

and a fimifar Jangh was by thaf meant
excited, at the expence of the poet; *

None of the above dramatic works of
C99ki met with any contiderablc fuccefs
on the fiage ; neither did they add much
to his poetical reputatioa.

In 1726 be pablilhed an Account of
the Life and Writings of Andrt^u Mmt"
vtU, Efq. who had been Member fa
Parliament, in Charia thf Second's time»
for the town of Kimg/hm upon Hult^ and
who was probably the la(l Member who
received wages from his Conftitucntt.
This Life was prefixed to an edition of
Marviirs Poetical Works, in two vols,
xamo ; and was afterwards rc-printed^
with improvemeatt, in the Gemrml DU*
tioMmy, in folio. This publication o£
the Life and Works of a chara^er fo
virtuous as Marv^Ps^ who had refilled
the corrupt offers of a moft corrupt

public attention, on the revival, about ^^»J^ »»^ Ad mmift ration, met with ge-

that time, of the Order of the Bath. He "eral approbation ; and it is ftill confix

wrote, foon after, •* The Triumphs of dcred as a Jork of merit. .

aaed at the Theatre Royal of Drury- "^ .ei«^Atranilation,of r#r^«fr'/Co.

afterwards, " The Mournful Nuptials,
or. Love the Cure of ail Woes," a Tra-
gedy ; both of which were a£led at the
lame Theatre. The Prologue to the
latter was written by Sir Rohirt Hintty^
Bar^ I have never read the two firfl
of tbefe dramatic produ^ions, nor the
latter more than once, and that many
years ago. I remember an anecdote rc-
fpe^ing the exhibition of one of hit
plays, which was often mentioned by
fome Members of the Club at Fauxbtili.
^-Farmer Br tar ^ one of the cha rafters
of the drama, made his exit from the
jiage after repeatingthe fotlowingwords,

^ 1 go, but to return ;"
a nan in the pit immediately called out,
<* Be fure you do i be lure you do V*
which, producing a laugh from the au-

dience, had a tendency to ridicule the addiefs, in which Ke pays that
play.— Many of your readers, Mr. Vr* many compliments} all, it it (aid,

volume is dedicated to the Duke of S9*
merftt^ the fecond to the Duke of lf«r/«
borough^ and the third to Uie Earl of
CbifitrfiiU.

In 1737 he publilhed, A Tranflation
of Cicero's Treatife of the Nature of the
Godi, with philofopbicai, critical, and
explanatory notes; to which is added,
an Examination into the Aftrpaomy of
the Antients, 8vo.

In i74> He publiflied a njawedition

of the Works of FirgU^ with an inter.

furn:ii)g fuchas would \viite after tlic manner
of the autients."

There is rcafon for believing he was
concerned, during the greater pait of
his life, in writing one 01 other of the
di^crent Journals, and other periodical
publications, of the times. 1 Icaro from
' his Common- PIau Book^t\\^t be wrote in
** The W> ekly Oracle }" becaufe, after
remarking, in i735t on Bta/giU's ac-
count of the Bojie family, he idkcs no-
tice of the contfovtrfy conceruing the
genuincncfs of Pbaians*j EpiPle^ be-
twixt the IJarl of Orrtrj and Dr. J5/n/-

error, by readipg t>r. BtmUyi Difcourl'es
iiuce.

PerhapCy Mr. Vrhan^ your readers
may nor diilike a more particular ac-
copnt of the modeaud manner iu which
Cookt kept his Ojtnmon -P lac t Book ; and I
Will therefore tranfcribe what he fays
therein of two Poets of conlideraUle ce-
jebritv, Mr, Ed^ward Moor^f author of
•* Fables for the Female Sex," and Mr.
D^vid MalUii which I will do the ra-
ther, as fuch extracts may afiford an in-
£ght into (be temper and character of
the man.

JaWf 174.3, I read fixteca Fables in ma-
.Dwicript, wrote by Mr. hdward Moort,
The ninth, " The Farmer, the bpanicl, and
the Cat," is a very prtuy Fable, and there
are great elegances m the mtrodudlion. The
fixteerth and lall Fable, called ** The Female
SifJuccrs,*' is a chavuung, elegant piece. —
Thefe tuo Fables are f^r rnperiurtDthe reft,
and are onexceptioaably good. The ditlion
is fuch as the province of poetry requires,
and there are many delicacys in femiment
and exprelfion, and the imagttry is ftrong aiid
<leiighiiul. I he other Fabks have their me-
rit, bitt have many im[>erfe^iui)s>, which I
doubt Hot but the author will reniove before
they are prinicd. The verfiiication thro' all

is ^et, with very f^ exceptioiis. ^Hit
images are fome of them lovely, add lovely
cloatlied. 'The iollowmg four verfes are
from the ninth Fable, addrefled Eoa Lady :

" Sweet are the flowers that deck the fields
Sweet are the flowers the blolfoms yield^
Sweet is the fummer gale that blows,
Anu fuect, tho* fweeter you, the rofc,**

Here is true fimpliciiy ami fwectnefs. Speak-
ing, in the lad Fable, of the diflToliuiuo of
things, he has fome of the beaut yfullefk ima-
ges 1 deftreto fee in poetry s as thefie Une& ;
" Gone like traces on the deep,
Like a fcepcre grafp'd in fleep,
Dew^ exhal'd from morning glades.
Melting ihow9| and gliding ftiades."

The following are his oblcrvitions tm
Mallttf and his writings i

1740, I read a dramatic piece, entitled,
" Aifrid^ a Mafque."*— A more ftupid picc«
cannot well be. It might, with as much prc>
priety, be called King Log \ for there if no
diftinguilhing part of Alfrtd'i charad^er vik
it, he is i native quite thro. This was wi it-
ten by Mr.^ThomJ n and Mr. A4*/.<'/, two
iV>/«, who deal much in oMcure, doll Pr'>f^
pj/oriati an inftanceof wliich begins tKe fe-
cond a6t of ihi> Mafque :

•« j1I/nd alone.
" 'Tis now the dcjJth of darknefs and rcpoffe.
Now walks mute M'Jiigtt (hat'owy o*er tho
To rule the folitary hour, and iheds f plam,
His ilumbeiy influence o'er the peaceful
world."

This U enough to give the reader a forfeit
of verfe- reading. — There is a pretty fong in
the fecond (tlutt is, the laft) a^, concluding
with this ftauia :

"If thofe who join in fheplierds' fpoit.
Gay dancing on the daizy'd ground^

Have not the t'pleudour of a Court,
Yet Love adomb tlic merry round."

1744, l^rcbf I read a book, entitled,
'< Poems on feveral Occafions, by Mr. MaS*

Thi^ fellow is a whtffler in poetry : hB
takes iittle conceits, and lines in meature, tp
be poetry, not iLoowing the language proper
for that province.

I. The firft piece is entitled, " Of Verbal
Criticifm, a Poem." It cotififts of 230
verfes, and fome few pert and impertii'*ent
notes. It is a confufcd, out-of-the-way

Piif>e. iJetore it is a Ihort prefiure, calle^t an
advrertilenaent to the flrft ^itiou in 17 359 in

was given, I conceive, to the lords of
the foil, or to fome other opulent and pi-
ous;, per fons who had contributed lar^^tly
to ihc^r endowment; upon the fuppoli*
tion, that thofe who had paited with a
fliare of their propcrry for the cftablifli*
mcnt of religion, would be m.)ft earned
■ in the future promotion ot it, as well as
beft qualified to judge, from their la-k
in life, and I6cal information of the merit
of fuch clerks as might be propofcd to
officiate in their churches. I have not
ihe opportunity at this time to confuic
any books ; but if eccUfiadical law and
hiAory olfcr no contradiflioo to thtfe
con f: derations, which J apprehend to be
the cafe, I fuppofe I am Juditiable ih
looking upon an advowfon (p. 410) not
as a property, but as a very facrcd aad
important /r«^,— the falc or it as a be-
traying of that truft, — and the purchafe
as a fpccies of corruption of the fame na-
ture, though no; aticndud by xi^cumo

(dances of the fame horrid tniptety, 10 the

By the general prevaleocy and long
contiouaoce of thcfe pra^iGct, of the
pernicious e^cds of which tke Lcgifia-
ture feemt to be wholly uoapprizicd, the
Church has bten pillaged, iroce thcdtf^

priated to her fervice by the piety of our
anceflors, to an amount exceeding alike
credibility and computattoD: and, what
is woHe, by this means mw/l flic receive
indifcriminately, and often into fome of

rifle their property in the delufive fpcca-
lation, as icis unjud in piinciple 10 chofe
more defervlng clergymen who are too
necefTitous, or too conCcientiousy to ca*
gage in it.

If I were acquaintrd with your corrc-
fpondent, and had muiereafon to confide
in my own under (landing, I ibould per-
haps take the liberty to lecommeod it 10

Before 1 quit the fubje£f of eccAefiaf-

that no fcft whatever more flrongly in-

Mr. Urban,

AS your Magazine is diftributcd into
fome very difiant countries, where
the cudoms and manners of the Eogliih
are little known, it will be conlidered
as pourtraying them in ^hcir proper co-
lours. I would therefore recommend
to you a care of infcrting any thing
which may refieft on the religion or ofi
the urbanity of itt inhabitants. The
paper to which I immediately refer is
the very illiberal one on the burial of
paupers, p. 1015, 1 (hall charitably
iuppofe, that your correfpondent J.A.J,
has been miiinformed of the circum*
flances of the cafe t and doubt not but
that, on enquiry, he will retract thof«
reflexions which he bas with aofparuig
hand fpread abroad.

I know fomethiog of the general prac*
tice, being connc^Ted in the duty of a
pariib where upwards of a thoufatid
corpfes are annually committed to their
original dull. Ifalf of ihefc arc paupers,
for which no fics whatever arc rehired,
and coffins, bearers, and every ntrcclTafy
decent attendance, provided at the ex-'
pence of the paiilh. Want of room in
the church-yard prevents my defending
the decency of the grave j which if the
luingin the parifti are fatisfted with,
the Clergy arc not dcCerving m^ cenUire
on that account. Yaur correfpondent

The queftion then is, what prompted
Mr. W. to be fo impatient to have hia

was I having fuffered it to remain with
his friend only one moaih, and then in-

treating him to take the earlied oppor-
tunitv of tranfmitting it to him. And
the lurmife I have to offer, with Tub-

miflion, is, that he was in immediata
want of it, in order to corroborate tha
charge of enrora and defe£ls in Biihop
Bomet's Hiflorv of the Reformation ; a
fpecimen of which he publiihed in i493,

(at p. 161) that he never for mid anv
iejigm of this nature until about a month

lerve, upon this matter, to Dr. B. ma/
be eaiily gaefled \ and, had the defiga

Bvery tiue admirer of the French Revolu-

thofe whom an unequivocal regard to tho
peace, tlie happineff, and the eftaWifhcd
conftitution of their coimtiy, will unite m
the celebration of that glorious event at ihe
Crown and Anchor tavern on th« i4tlj of
next July. The author is of a family well
known in m^ft of the counuics in Europe,
and which has indeed been thought fome-
m hat inimical to ihofe principles, the t'itTu-
fion of which is U»e objea of the enUuug
fcftiviiy. fle himfclf was among the nuro-
hcr of tliofe who enjoyed heieditaiy diftmc-
lions under the dcfpotic Govcinmcnt of
France ; hut, confcious that he is a man, and
af^e^mg no other dignity, he looks* down
with difdain on tlic \'anity and iiijufticc tif
all cxclufive privileges. Thofe which he
once Iveld he fmiciidered into the hands of
the people at large, with an alaciiiy only to
be equaled by that wUh which they have
aiVumed the exercife of his funaions. A-
inong the facrifices which FairiDtifm has
made to Liberty, there is none which (it la

He was alfo perhaps too fMid of (Mponding

as tUmght by many, and fiatticuUHly by his
£ngli(h auditors, to have fpoken too delibe-
rately \ and imdriuhtedly his manner, in this
refpc<:^, was very different from tliat which
prevails in this coontiy : but, conAftently
with his fcheme of elocution, neither he, nor
any other roan, could have been a rapid
fpeaker, liis extemporaneous efT^ifions being
always as cmredl, energetic, and comprelfed,
as the premeditated fpeeches of <ithers. H«
endeavoured never to ufeafuperiluoosword.
He never, at any time, permitted himfelf to
be ditt\i(ive or inaccurate. He who makes it
9 rule always to fpeak corredlly, pointedly,
and concifely, muft fpeak deliberately, unlcfs
be pronounces a written fpeech. No roan
ever fpoke an extemporary fpeech npidly
without being diffufive in argumenti or in-
corre<5t in bnguage, without tautolo^ and
repetition. It has been indnftriouOy repeat-
ed t(iat he came into tlie Bnglifli Houfe of
Commons in the decline of his life, and in
the wane of his abilities ; an'd this cry was
damouroufly kept up by two large bodies of
men in Ireland, one of which had long
' endured the ihafts of his tlo<{Uence, and the
other never ibrgave his enforcing and ob-
taining the Engli(h aA of renunciation. No
atfertion, however, can be more onfuundcd.
The mind of that man whofe talents were
originally fplewdid, and who perfeveres dur-
ing the whole coorfe of his life in confHnt
habits of ftudy, and daily exertions both in
public and private, can foffer nothing fr«nn
the affaults of age. He was fifty-three
years old when lie was chofen a member of
the Englith parliament. His abilities at the
time of tiis death were as ftrong as ever they
liad been at anv iieriod of his life, thongh
* certainly a man of fixty years old has not (o
much ardcur as one of thirty : but what he
loft in ardour he gained in knowletlge, and
the accumulated experience of thirty yeai*s.
If, though he ma«le a confiderable impreliion
in England, that which he had previoufly
made in Ireland was much greater, the ciufe
is Tiftlciently obvious. He ti.id attached him-
felf to neither of the two great paities that
divide this country ; nor would any oflice,
however lucrative (he had voluntarily refign-
ed one of the m<ift lucrative tlie minilter has
to give) have attached him to either pirty,
without refponfibihty and a certain ihare of
power. This he cxpreflly made the prehmi*
nary to any treaty on this (ubje6t. One party
was too ftning in numbers, and the oilier
too ftrong in abilities, to court his aid, though
each would gladly have accepted it ; and
thus he ftood ifolated in the houfe, withoxit
any perfun feeling an intereft in his exertions
or fuccefs. Add to this, that, coniequently,
lie was precluded from almoft all great fub*

" At length the great phenomenon ap-
peared. Both parliaments were elected ; and
FIo(hI, with all his property, all his abilities,
all his defcrvings, was of neither a member.
Eren upon the people here this feemed to
make little impreOion ; and fomeof his old-
cfl friend 1 feemeil unafFccled at the event.
He retired to the country : artd his great mind,
which Could never have been deprelTed by
the worl'e ini)i6lions of the enemies of his
6oanti-y, was not fo well able to fudain the
negldA of his countrymen.

" He dictl the 2d of December 1791, at
Farmly^ in the county of Kiikcony, in the
^9th year of his age.

** His property he be<]ueithed to the peo-
ple of Irtrland, under the dircdliun of the
Univcrfity of Dublin ; leaving it under fuch
regulations as he conceived would make it
molt contribute to the fame of his country."

Various irterpTetations have been put upon
the bequeft of Mr. flood to the Univerfity of
Dublin. The extent therefore an<) obje^ qI
it w« flNdl briefiy exjsi^Uun.

There are many mamifcnpts in the (rtlh
language, which are the moft ancient and au-
thentic records, that any nation in Eiirope can
boaft. Thefe, are now cither fcattered aiul
periihing in the poffeflion of individuals iit
Ireland, or configned to oblivion in the li-
braries of France and Rome.

To have thefe venerable memorials depo-
fited in the Univerfity of Dublin was his firlt
objeft. To provide, by the eilablifhment of
an I riih pro^tibr^ for the developement of
all the curious and intereding informatioQ
they contained , his next. After this, the in-
come of his eft Ate is to replenifh the library
of that Univerfity with all valuable books
ancient and modem, which mud render it in
time the moft noble repofitory of literary
produ^ion in the world.

Laftly, <* as great exanoples incite to greac
deeds," (to ufe the expremon of his own laft
teftarnent) he orders annual rewards to be
given to the Univerfity for the beft compo-
fuions in cetebration of thcfe great charac*
ters, wlio have adorned the world, and be-
nefited the human race.

What can be more noble ? MThat can t>e
more wife? Whit can be more charac-
teriftic of a mighty mind and patriotic heart
than the whole fcheme of this great bequeft ^
— abequeft to the pioplk OF'IatLAKDy
under tiie direction, of the Univerfity, to
draw its ancient records from negle£t and
oblivion, to make a great deposit in that
kingdom of all the valuable works of li-

The altercation between Mr. Flood and
Mr. Grattan, alluded to in p. 1225, arofe in
the irifh houfe of commons on the following
motion, which Ti'as made on Tuefday, O^
28, 1783.

Sir H. Cavendifh moved, " that the coiw
dition of this country demands that every
pra^icable retrenchment confiftent with the
iafety thereof, and with the honourable fup-
port of his majefty't govenimenti ihonld be
made in its expences."

Mt. Flood.— 1 find myfelf little capable
of fpeaking to this queftion, opprefled with
iicknefs as I am ; not in the leaft degree ex-
pecting fuch a queftion this night, and more
aftunifhed than ever t was in my life, to find
the leaft fymptom of oppofitioo rifing on the
other fide of the hoide. The oppofitlon to
k ihonld origiaate here, for the refolution
does not go as fiur as it ought to do. In lord
Towofheod's adminHtration, a reiblotlon was
propofed, « chat the condition of this country
required every pradicablb retrenchment to

lows too great an inlet to public profufion.
Some men will think of their own welfare^
when the welfare of the country is the ohje^i
and include their swn fupport within the ho-
nourable fupport of his maj^y's govern-
ment i 1 did not, therefore, think any man
on the fide of admioidration would have op-

would have called out in triumph to let it
pafsi that they would have exulted to iee
ibe Mtw commotUf the ntw ecamtryp Ireland, in
its emancipated and dignified lUte, tolerate the
oonfeofe that was corrtnt ia lord Townf-
bend'f adminiftration.

I am as willing as any man to pay oompli*
sneots to mioiftry, both here and in England,
to allow them every degree of credit for Uieir
lx>ooarabIe intentions ; I |iave not the . fmall-
0ft ground of animoiity or refentment to
them I and when I hear oecooomy recom-
mended from the throne, almoft in the words
of the hon. baronet,lam aftoniJhed at an op^
po6tioh to his motion. Indeed, 1 believe the
words of that recommendation were by (bms
accident roiiplaced, or that government hai
«not digeiled the plan of retreqchroent; they
ihould not have followed immediately the
mention of the Genevan colony, a body of
▼irtiious men, who, to anroid the moft igno-
minious flavery, have fought an afylum in the
arms of this country. It was not the proper
plape to ufe the wordoDConomy ; it there dif-
graces the virtuous and generous a^ of men
who have juft recovered their own liberty ;
by placing it there, we may lofe a great deal
of hoootir, but can (ave vei7 little money.
But it i^ notin fuch little things we are to look
for relief {—our retrenchments ihould reach
eftabliihroents, and not like England plunge us
deeper each day in ruin. Minillry, both here
and in that kingdom, have been oken warned

ceivcd, if they giTcfcr^ Co any, dedanatiuo
that infers from the words of the fpeech any
thing but t/tk honeft oeconomy in applying tb«
publtc money faiily to iheir ttfe. The nation
has derived great hooonrfromthistranfaftioni
9ind 1 would be forry to have it tarotflied by
inference and tnfinuation.

In 1 77 1 , when the burdftis of the country
"were comparatively fmail» I m^de a motion
ftmilar to this; the hon. gentleman then op-
t>ofed me. I have his fan£tton now, that I
was light, and he was wrong ; and 1 fay this,
to fhew that though gentlemen may for a
while vote againll retrenchments, they will at
laft fee thencceffity of ihem. Yet while I think
retrenchment ahfoluiely necelfary, I am not
very fore that this isjtfft tbt time to make it in
the armv ; now when England has art edjufl -
ly, 1 Will not fay gcnetoufly ; now >*hen Ihe
has loft her empire { when (he Itill feels the
^wounds of the lad unhappy war, and com-
forts hei-felf only with the faithful friendfhip
of Ireland. If in 1769, when the liberties
of Ireland were denied, and thofe of Ame-
irica in danger, it was thought unadvifenble to
retrench our army, there can he no fucU rea-
fon to reduce it now, when both are acknow-
ledged and confirmed. When we voted 4000
men to botcher *»ur brethren in America, the
hon. gentleman ihoidd have oppofed that
vote. But perhaps he will he able to explain
the propriety of fending 400c men thither.
But wity not look for reirenchmeot in the re-
venue and other departments. In my mind,
/ the proper mode wmdd be, to form a fair
eftimate of what would be a reaibnable peace
•ftablifhment, and reduce our feveral Ce-
pattments to it.

Mr. Flooo. — 'V\\Q right hon. nnember can
have no doubi of the propriety of my faying
a word in reply to what he has deiivei'ed ;
every member in the houfe cnn bear witnefs
to the infirmity I mentioned, and therefore,
it required but little candour to make a noc-
turnal attack opo« that infirmity ; but I am
nut afraid of the right hon. member ; I will
meet him any where, or upon any ground,
'by night or by day. 1 ihonid Aand poorly in
my own ellimation, and in my country's opi-
nion, if I did not fiand far above him. 1 do
not come hei'e drelfed in a rich wardrobe of
words to delude the people. 1 am not one
who has promifed repeaiedly to bring in a bill
of rights, yet does not bring in that bill, or
permit any other perfon to do it. I am not
Oiie who threatened to impeach the chief
juftice of the King*s Bench for adding under
an Enghfh law, and afterwards fhruuk from
that bofmefs. I am not the author of the
Jim^h rtpteJ. I am nut one who, after faying
the parliament was a parliament of profti-
totes, endeavoured to make their voice (iib-
fervient to my intei'efl. I am not one who
>VQuUI come at midnight, and attempt, by a
vote of this houfe, to {lifle the voice of the
people, which my egregious fi»lly had raifed
against me. 1 am not the geotleman wllb

fnbiifttonyQiir Accompts: 1 9m tiot th^ mieo-
dicant patriot who was bought by my country
for a fum of money, and then fold my couti-
try for prompt payment I am not tibemnk
wholn this home ioudly complained of an in*
fringement made by England, in including
Ireland in a bill, and then ftnt. a certificate
to Dimgannon that Irelind was not included.
I never was bought by tlie people, nor ever
fold them^. The gentleman fays, he never
apoftatized, but I fay I never changed my
piindples; let every man fay the fame, and
let the people believe tiiem if they can. But
if it be fo bad a thing to take an office in the
flate, bow comes the gentleman fo clofely
conneAed with perfons in office? they, I
hope, are men of virtue. 1 objeft to no man
for being in office; a patriot in office is the
nnore a patriot for beuig there. There was
a time when the glories of tlie great duke of
Marlborough ihrunk and withered before
thufe of the right hon. gentleman ; whei>. pa-
laces fuperior to Blenheim were to be bviUt
for his reception, when pyramids and pillars
were to be raifed, and ailomed with emblems
and infcriptibns iacred to his virtue; but the
pillars and pyramids are now iiink, though
then the great earl of Chatham was held in-
feVior to him ; however, he is fiiU fo great,
that the queen of France^ I dare' fay » will
have a long made on the name of Grattan.

Lord Uarcourt pra<^ifed oeconomy s but
what was the oeconomy of the duke of Fort-
land? xou,ocol. was voted to raife ic^ooo
feamen, though it was well known that one
third of that number coiUd not be railed : and
what was the application of the money ? it
was applied to the raifing of the execrated
fencibles.

It is faid 1 fupported lord Harcotut's admi-
niiVration ; it irtrue, but I never deferted my
principles, but carried them into the cabinet
with roc. A gentleman, who now heai s me,
knows that 1 propofed to the privy council
an Irifh mutiny bill, and that not with a view
of any paiharoentary grant. I fupported an
abfentee tax ; and while I was in office, re-
giftered my principles in the books of Go-
vernment ; and the momeoi 1 could not in-
fluence Government to the advantage of the
nation, I ceafed to aA with them. X a^ed
for myfelf;— I was the firft who ever told
them that an Iriih mutiny bill mull hi gi-ant-
ed. If this countiy is now fati&fied, is it owing
to that gentleman ? No, the firople repeal,
difappnwed and fcouted by all the Uwyers in
England and in Ireland, (hews the.contrary ;
and the only apology he can make is, that he is
no lawyer. A man of warm imagination and
brilliant foncy willfometimes be dazzled with
hi« own ideas, and may for a moment fall
into eiTor ; but a man of found b«ad could
not make fo egregious a miHake, and a man
of an honeft heart would not pcrfifl in it af-
ter it was difcovered. 1 have now done ;—
and give me leave to iay, if the genUemni^

to St. Chriftoplier's bill. I will declare die
foft— he may tell a (lory .-^ When I received
a copy of that bill, it gave me much paio and
much offence ; I thought I faw the old inten-
tion of biniUag Ireland by EngliiK laW ; I
therefore fpoke to that effisA in this houfe. I
alfo ihewed the bill to all the mo(V able mid

opinion that my fuggeftion was wrong : under
this optnioD 1 acquiefced, and tiic event has
Joltifiod it« At to nriy coming at midnight to
obtain a vote, impofmg filenceon the people,
I deny itj it wasmif-ftatedinthe papei^; my
refolotion was to declare this country free,
and that any perfoo who fhould fpeak or
write to the contrary, was a public enemy.
All the hoofe, all the revered and refpe^ed
cbara^rs In the kingdom heard me, and
know what 1 fay is true. But it is i>ot the
llander of the bad tongue of a bad cliara^er
that can deCame me. I maintain my rejntta-
tion in public and in private life; no maii wlu>
has not a bad chara^er can fay I ever de-
cdved him ; no country has ever called me
clieat. 1 will fuppofe a public charaAer, a
roan not now in tliis houfe, bnc who former-
ly might have been here.— I will fuppofe it
was his conAant praAice to abufe every tnan
who difiin^ from him, and to betray every
inan who tmfled him ; 1 will fuppofe him
adttve; 1 will begin from hi$ cradle, aod di-

in the third ieditious.

lay. Sir, your talenu are nut fo great as your

you might be feen paffing by theie doors like

of putting the qaeflion, that ycut might po^

to ftoop and pounce upon your prey { — you
can be truAed by no man—the people cannot
tniit yoii— the minifters catmot truft you—
you deal out the moft impartial treachery to
both— you tell the nation it is mined bv other
men while it is fold by you— you fled firom

*-you fled from the fugarbill. i therefore

ADDRESS TO SYLVANUS URBAN, Esq.

ON COMPLEATING HIS SIXTY-FIRST VOLUME.

THE fun again through every fign hath paft.
And chilling Winter ilowly creeps the laft;
Each fprightly fiafon ftolc unfcen away.
And night encroached upon the feeble day :— •
Yet can no change W4th Learning interfere.
No night affeft her brighter hemifph^re ;
While at thy urn, fagc UrBak, Science pours
All that's feleded from her boundlefs ftores !
All genius brightens^ all that fenfe refines,
The ore unwrought, the gem that peerlefs (hines ;
Wit, judgement, reafon, or difcuffion clear.
The prefent good, the future hope or fear :—
From Reafoivs dawn, and Judgement's fainteft ray,
1*0 truths fublimc, and Heaven's unchanging day I
But yet no venal view infpires the Mufe ;
Not fervile (he her annual theme renews ;
Nor pliant with the round of time fhe fings ;-^
But, that each year fomc new improvement brings.
Which, while thine aid does to perfedion raife,
Muft ope a fource of new and well- earned praife.
To growing toil, a(id care afCduous, due ;—
So doth the fhade the fubftance ftill purfue.
Search thro' the circle of a tboufand years.
How fmall their profpefts, view'd with this, appears ?
No feudal homage, no prophane Croifade,
Infult our fellow-men, and Heaven degrade;
3ut Light and glorious Liberty increale,
' Whofe Policy infures the reign of Peace !— • '
Thefc feem to guard the future ftory's page.
And promife Reason her Augustan age ;
While Bigotry withdraws her antient claim.
Or growls a menace, or expires with fhame,
Blcft be tliat holy tear in Mercy's eye,
That bids from tafle the fvoett indnigenci fly.
The price of Juftice, and ^ brother's weal,
Which all confefs, and all but Interest feel !
Oh ! from the thrilling bofom hide their grief,
Th^ir chains (hall fall ' for Heaven has fwom relief:
Yet men the means with Urban muft command.
And warmcft phudits from the Vlufc's band;
A'^'i ^^^ t^^^ coii'cious reftitude fupplies
WiiUin tue walk^ of woe, above tlx' expanded ikies*
