This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE.
We are about to enter on our Hundredth Year — an announcement
requirine no prefatorv remark : — the fact b " worth a thousand
bomilies?' Dare we hope, or rather may we not thankfully ex-
daipi, " Length of days is in our right hand, and in our left there is
honour?" We do, indeed, trust that the " viridis senectus" is ours,
and that, as we have grown in years, we have increased in wisdom.
And have we not
Bear ye witness, our present emotions, we have ; — and we a^now-
ledge these blessings with feelings of gratitude and thankfulness to
Him from whom they spnng, and to those who are the agents of
his goodness.
^vere was our tnuning — if weinay'.tue.'a trptd of jocularity, we
would say our cradle was a Cave, t(Bd'<W!e weyvlnjiiae^.'iiy a John-
bom. Seriously, we claim inte^ritylfUCoiu- ^jrtb-fjg'ht,' and may we
not hope that we retain that uncompTomj^pgJbve of truth which
we learnt at the lips of our Foster ^^Q*^ ,-Xt}^*is an honourable
distinction ; we have made our bdast i^ijchefnij^ And we gloiy in it
now. "• • .*
It has been our lot to witness many a storm which has gathered
over our country — we have seen the elements of civil socie^ endan-
ffered — we have witnessed the " madness of the people," — political
infidelity has sounded in oar ears the alarm — " Let us break their
bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us." In every hour of
Britain's agony we were found at the post of loyalty — always to us
the place of affection and of duty. We have seen much ofparties.
Crowds of contemporaries have " strutted their hour" of popularity,
and disappeared, leaving neither name nor reputation behind.
Yet here we are — and, like the British oak which requires a
centui7 to mature its strength and beauty, we stand root«l in the
iatecnty of our principles, and firm in the soundness of our feith ;
lookuig forward with hope and confidence, that the same hand
which lias enabled us to weather the tempests that have beat upon
our heads, will still refresh us with the dews of grace and &vDur.
If we are egotistical, let it be remembered £at the occasion on
which we ^>eak is without precedent in tlie history of periodical
Literature ; the event is a proud one, and even the cynic may
leave us to our triumph.
L,u,i,z™u.,Cooglc
A Peritxiical Work, formed on the plan of the Gentleman's
Magazine, and continued for the unprecedented period of a Cen-
tury, if executed with due accuracy and attention, must prove of
inestimable value. Scarcely a subject can be started, but, in the
course of so long a time, has been discussed in its pages ; nor is
there' an invention, or a discovery of importance to the improve-
ment of science, or the advantage of mankind, during the last cen-
tury, which has not incre&^ the value of our work, by beiqg re-
' corded among its stores.
■ To the Antiquary out Volumes cannot but be peculiarly ac-
ceptable, as he will find therein materials sufficient to gratify the
most ample curiosity. The memorials of families, the history and
antiquities of parishes, and the laws and customs peculiar to parti-
cular districts, which he will fiod interspersed in our Volumes, are
innumerable, and form the most legitimate materials for the Topo-
grapher. . '
Our Obituary continues to engage much of our attention ; and
the best proof of its merit is, that it is copied, with due ac-
knowledgements, by the most standard bic^rapnical collections.
We turn to the world before us; and as "our wont is," we oSer
a few words on what is passing there.
We caiuiot conceal that there are symptoms of national distress,
which may afflict the timid, and render the serious more thoughts
fill ; but it is oiir ^B(^r« mjihinz ^t there is in the State-vessel a
principle of .^w^alic^ whicfi, by mv'me aid, will enable her to bear
onwanl in -lier \»urse o{-j^cfy\ and we would apply io a general
sense, what «i doobenjatUdern writer has s^d of our country in a
limited one: •• **.*'.'• ••;. •
" It is no prepoattfraas qfi^^iutvAi t* affirm that the hope of the nAtiona ia
now in the lieepingUi^^ Engrish, whose emineDce io whatever is most noble
and luefiil, — whose extensive political power, — whose expansive commerce and
colonization, — whose spreading language and brilliant literature, — whose high
and commanding spirit, conspire to fix upon them the gaze of nuuilcind."
In spealdng, indeed, of our beloved country, it is impossible to
overlook her imposing attitude, both as it respects her domestic
economy and her foreign relations. We see the mass of the po-
puUtion of England partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge ;
we hope that the fruit is ripe, and that the signs of the time, evinced
in the spirit of universal education, are auguries of good, and not
portents of evil. In the mean time, with a vigilance which be-
comes a free press, and with a jealousy instinctively attaching to
old institutions, we will mark the progress of events. Our prayer
is that, as our knoij^ledge advances, we may increase in virtue,
and that the formidable weapon of power now fabricating, may
ever be wielded by the eneigies of loyalty and true wisdom.

The temple at Abury, as Tew need
M b< iaformed, coniiaia of a leiel area;
Dcarlv circular, inclosed by a deep
trench and lofty mouod. The mound
•a now broken down in faor placet,
where roads are carried through it.
Bst in its oriKinal slate there seem* to
have been only two brealu, the only
uitraocci to the area, and thue wcr* at
the itearer exiremiiiei of two roada or
aTcnset oT more than a mile in length,
and not quite airaight, on each aide of
which were set rows of large and lofty
•tonn,in narnb«r one hundred, that is,
four hundred atones in all. These
STcDues are called rhe Kmnet arcnue
and the Beck ham pton avenue, frnm
the names of two villages near the
MMUinenceaieot of ihein. Scarcely any

of oa« af ibam uM a fragiaeat ts homi

chieBy from the infonnation of Au<
brey and Siuketey, who saw ihc work
when much more entire than at pre-
Kni. The area within the mound hat
been very accurately measured hy Sir
Richard Hoare, and it is founil lo be
aouiewhal more than iweniy-eight
acres. Accompaiiying the ditch,
which being mitlan ilw mound, affiitda
a (iroof, as has been oliaervcd, that it
could baTc been no place of defence,
and near the oniet edge of the area,
was a circle of stones, in ram and siaa
resombling ihoee of the avenues. U(
these there were joit a hundred ; and
these form what is called the ^reat, or
the outer circle. Within this circle
were two small temi^es, or, if we may
r^ard the whole wortis but a* one
vail temple, two apartments. Each of
these consiited of two cooccniric cir-
clea, composed of stones like the
others, the outer circle conMSling of
thirty stonea, tite Itiucr of twdve. In
the centre of one of these, which is
called the Southern Temple, froaa m
position in reapect of the other, wa*
one tingle atone, which Siukcley calls
the Obelisk. In the centra of th<
other temple weie three ttonea ttand*.

tt^ther, and ao as to form a imall

petforaiion, not belonging to either of
the inner templea; and this he con-
duded to hare been tet for the porposa
of securing the vteiim till the moraent
of sacrifice arrived.
Such waa Abury when it was entire.
Before the Norman Cunquett a Chna-

very early foundation of a Sjxon
church here, and that the vrection of
a church preceded the erection of any
dwellings. Perhaps at the bei^inning

habitants dispersed over the plain from
the borders of Bishop's Cannings to
the botdera of Marlborough, and to a
great extent to the northward and

perhaps a saxon sovereign, and not

least show the number of freeholders,

guesa might be innde at the |>op4i)aiion
which had collected round the church
in the middle ages of our history. I
suspect that it was very small, and
that the extension of the village with-
in the bounds of the enclosure has
been the work of the three last ceit-'

the houses are recent erections : aoilM
of them are certainly on new sites, and

y«i-I Sir Huuiphry Davy was born De-
hill,! cember 17, 1779, at Penzance, in
wn, Cornwall. The nameis of anciei.t re-
io ii tpcciability in the West of Ifni^land,
land bii fiuiity was above the middle

the on which he died in 1799, afirr having
HiixInnjoredhU fortune by expending conii.
f au derable sunn in attempting MgricullurnI
i ac-t improvements. Sir Humphry received
1 the first rudiments of his education at
iver, ' the granlmar-Khools of Penzance atid
idge, I Truro ; at the former place he resided
rM*, ' with Mr. John Tomkin, surgeon, ■
fostc benevolent and inielligent man, who
over- ^ had been inlifflately connected with
ra a hii maicrnat grand fat her,' and treated
(able I- hiffl with a degree of kindness little
aiioD'letg than paternal. His gealns wai
lique originally inclined 10 poetry; and there
mof- tare many natives of Penzance who re-
riKt ' member his poems and verses, written
tb« tat the earbf age of nine years. He cul-
I lill^ ' tirated this bias till his iifleenth year,
dO-' 1' when he became the pupil of Mr.
(since Dr.) Borlaie, of Penzance, an
tuim I ingenious surgeon, intending to pre-
■,t> il I pare hinitelf for eradoating at a uhysi-
c re- ' cian at Edinburgh. At ihia early age
I Davy laid down for himself a plan
ivfcK ' of education, which embraced the cir-
]^ arc , de of the sciences. By his eighteenth
: year he had acquired the ludimenl* of
^ii. Qtn. Mto. anify, leav.
botany, anatomy, and phyaiolMy, th«
simpler mathematics^ mcta^hytica, na-
tural philosophy, and chemisirr. Rol
chemistry soon arrested his whole al-
leniion. Having made some expert-
menu on the air disengaged by lea^
weeds from the water of the ocean,
which convinced him that these vege-
tables performed the same part in pu-
rifying the air dissolved in water
which land -vegetables act in the at-
mosphere, he communicated them to
Dr. Beddoes/ who had at that lime
circulated proposals for publishing a
joarnal of philosophical contributions
from the Weat of England. This pro-'
duced a correspondence between Dn
'Beddoes and Mr. Davy, in which th«
Doctor proposed that Mr. Davy, who
was at this time only nineteen years of
age, should suspend his plan of going
to Edinburgh, and take a part in ex-
periments which were then about 10
be instituted at Bristol, for investi^
gating the medical powers of factitioitt
airs. To this proposal the yotingraao
cnnsenled, on condition that he should
have ihe uncontrolled superintendence
of the experiments; and by the judi-
cious advice of Davies Gilbert, Esq., t
gentleman of high scientitic aitaitv-
ments, and now President of the
Royal Societj, whose eye had watched
him from the commencement of hia
stodies, having known his parents and
family, he. coniinoed with applicalion
and perseverance in the study of che-
niisiry. With Dr. Beddoes Mr. Davy
resided fora considerable time, and wis
constantly occupied in new chemical
investigations. Here, he discovered
the respirablliiy of nitrous oxide, and

ten years. It contained much popular
and practical information, and was

We now arrive at the most import-
ant result of Sir Humphry Davy's
labours, the invention of the sapbty.
LAUP for coal roiitci, which has been
generally and successfully adopted
throughout Europe. The frequency
of accidents, arising from the esploaioo
of the 6re-danip, or inflammable gas
of the cool mines, mixed with at-
mospherical air, occasioned the forma-
tion of a committee at Sunderlai>d, for
the purpose of investigating the causes
of these calamities, and of endeavour-
ing to discover and apply a preventive.
Sir Humphry received an invitation,
in 1815, from Dr. Gray, one of the
members of the committee ; in conse-
quence of which he went to the North

terrors, and applied in powers, for-
mcrly so destructive, to the production
of a useful light. Some minor im-
provements, originating in Sir Hum-
phry's researches into the nature of
name, were afterwards efiected. £«•
perimenis of the most satisfactory nar
lure were speedily made, and the io-
ventinn was. soon generally adOiptEd.
Some attempts were made to dispute
the honour of this discovery with its
author, but his daimi were confirmed
by the investigations of the first philo-
sophers of the age. The coa! ownera
of the Tyne and Wear evinced their
sense of the benefits resulting from thi*

lioa of these facts led Sir Humphry to nearly two thousand po<inda,
adopt a lamp, in which the flame, by
bcii^ supplied with only a limited
qoantity of air, should {iraduce such a
quantity of azote and carbonic acid as
to prevent the explosion of the fire-
damp, naA which, by the nature of its
apertures for giving admittance and
-egress lo the air, ahould be rendered
incapable of com m uni call dz any ex-
plosion to Ihe external air. These re-
quisites were found lo be afforded by
air-tight laoterns, of various constnic-

canals of soibJI diameter, or from aper.

Humphry soon afterwards found that
a constant flame uiight be kept up
from the explosive niixiure ittuiug
from the aperiurei of a wire-gauie
lieve. He introduced a very small
lamp in a cylinder, made of wire-
Same, having six thousand four hun-
red apertures in the square inch. He
closed all apertures except those of the
game, and introduced the lamp, burn-
ing brightly within ihe cylinder, into
public dinner at Newcastle, October
11, 1817.
In 1813 Sir Humphry was elected
a corresponding member of the Insti-
tute of France, and Vice-President of
the Royal Institution. He was created
a Baronet OcL 20, 1S18. In IH20 he
was elecled a Foreign Associate of the

Sir Humphiy returned to England
in 1630, and in the same year his re-
spected friend. Sir Joseph Banks, Pre-
sident of the Royal Society, died. Se-
veral diKussions took place respecting
a proper successor, when individuals
of high and even very exalted rank
were named as candidates. But science,
very properly in this ca«r, superseded
rank. Amongst the phiiotophrrswhoac

Wollaslon, who had received from the
council of the Society the unanimous
compliment of being placed in the
chair till the election by the body in
November, declined any compeijijoa

Sir Humphry retained his seat aa Pre-
sident tin the year 1B97, when, in
consequence orprocni3linaie<l ill health,
in great measure brought on by in-
juries occasioned to his consiliuiion by
scientific experimcniB, he wasitidocecf,
by medical advice, to retire to the con-

without any circumitancei which de-
noted so near an approach to the last

been fnr some months a resident at
Rome, where he had had a serions and
alarming attack of a paralytic nature,
but hom which he was apparently,
though slowly, recoverina; but bia
most sanguine friends hardly ventured
to hope that his valnable life would be
tntich longer preserved. Lady Davy

narrow ; not more, we think, than 50

for it occurs under the name of th«

Nortbunibeiland, made out in the
life-time of Sir Robert Umfrevill,-, who
died in I43(). It is certainly the coat
of one of that highly renowned farfiily,
and the sopporiers to it seem to indi-
cate that it belonged to One of them
who was ennobled. If such was the
case, they may be considered as the
coat of Robert de Umfreville, second
earl of Angus, who died in 1324.
But sopporiers were sometimes for-
merly used by rarniliea that were not
ennobled ; and Mr. Hodgson once in-
clined to believe that this was the coat
of Sir Robert Tayl boys, as there is •
shield similarly emblazoned on Wilton
Tower, which is the parsonage- house
of Rothbury, and in which parish the
Taylboys, who married the neireas of
the Umfrevilles, were lords of the »-
tensive manor of Hepple, and on that
account might become contributors to
building the mante of the rector of
that parish. The inscription is, Ro-

IN purtiiance ormy proposal in yonr
number for A|)ril (p. 3ia), I now
lay before you my biographical collec-
tions respeciing Sir Lewis Dyve, ihc
Leodivius of Sir Kenelm Digby's Pri-
vate Meuioirs.
The family of Dyve was early esta-
blished at Brampton, in Northampion-
shire, and a pedigree under that parish
in Baker's Hisioty of the county, vol.
i. p. as, (races the descent from Henry
Uyve, who was living in the reign of
Henry the Third, through thirteen
generations to Sir Lewis, the subject
of this notice. The family acoui red the
estate of Bromha'tn in Bedfordshire
from an heiress of Wilde in ihe reign
of Henry the Seventh; anil, having
changed their residence lo that man-
sion, arc supposed to have finally sold
Biamnion in the reign of Elizabeth.
Sir John IW of Bromhani, the
fiihet of Sit Lewis, was twice mar-
ried. By his first wife, a daughter of
the celebrated Sir Anlhoiiy Dennv,
Groom of the Stole to Henry the
Eighth, he had an only child, a daugh-
ter, who died young. His second lady
was Beatrice, daughter of Charles VVal-
cot, of Walcot in Shrophire, esq., by
whom he had only one surviving child.
Sir Lewis ; another, named John, hav-
ing! died an infant.
The following leliet relative lo Sir
John Dyve, is perhaps worthy of in-
sertion*, both as illustrative of his his-
tory, and uf female patronage during the
reign of our great female sovereign :

Sir John Dyve died in l6oe, but he
had five years previously erected himself
a monument in (he church of Broin-
hani, a mural altar-tomb, having, under
a f:anopy supported by three coluiniM,
his recumbent elBgies in armoor; hfs
head bare, and with a long beartt ;
resting on a mat, and his hands raised
in the altitude of prayer. On the pe-
diment are the arms of Dyve and the ■
initials Lb.d, i603 (John and Bea-
trice E>yve). On the basement the
arms of Walcot, ih tee escallop -shells,

(hat the depth of the pole within the

and allowing for the attraction or re-

a ship, in moving to the north or soulh
more especially. Having reason to
think, from aa imiicrfccl expetinicni,
that the action oflhe iron did nni extend
much in any direction. 1 recjnested of a
tciemific fiieml to lake the variation
on a small stage sui|)ended about twenty
feet alwue the (luarlet-deck of a ship
of war, saying that tf it corresponded
with the variation taken on shore,
there would be a proof at once that the
iron bclntv had no eSecl on the needle
aboic. 1 have seldom felt more grati-
fied than in finding that the result
agreed ulinnst exactly. This sliowa
that the difference between the varia-
tion taken above and on the quarter-
deck will be the local attraction of a
ship, thtis enabled lo sail in perfect
security, when otherwise she might be
running to certain destruction. The

occasional patches of herbage in ihe

and a few oats are therefore occasionally

also painted in tome of the window).
About 80 yards from the front, we
posied through a gate in a substantial

.the boundary of a vegetable garden,
and along > path, fenced on each lidi
fashioned hall, havi

of which, pattiiiontd on, still bears

bat the state of tne apartment does not
evince much veneration for his me-

the window partly broken out. Op-
posite the entrance door, a staircase
conducts to a lofty drawing-room, and
a delightfully pleasant bed-room, the
latter of which we nem. con. decided
roust be " my father Walton's apart-
ment,'' in which Viator sleeps. There
are various other chambers on this
floor, but they are going fast to ruin,
and several of them are in darkness,
having the windows " made up.''
Above them are garrets, from whence

rather, gives access to the roof, part of
which is flat, and surrounded by liuliu-

ruins of a stone building called the
Temple, and here was the bowling-

"The Complete Angler," Cotton calls
the attention of his ^iend. Far below
these hills runs the Dove, to which
descending by a steep and somewhat
hazardous winding path, we came

of " Squire Cotton's Grotto," a spot

induced him to seek refuge in it ; but

FROM the nature of iu aiibjecl, and
the approved ability and experience of
iu author, this book offers Etiong claims
to our adenlion. Commencing with
the close of (he Walpole adniioiglia-
lion of 1740, and emending to (he
death of Mr. Pelham in I7S4, it em-
braces a portion of our his(ory which
is coinpara(ively Uide known, (hough

lempUte the transactions by which it
was murkcd, or the individuals en-
gaged in (hem ; a period, respecting
which more full and accurate informa-

gleaned from ihe crude compilations
of our annalist Smolieil, the composi-

tire exhibilinn of the Uudhisl scheme.
Bachaniin and Joiaville not having
analjted and distilUd the jonction of
the elder docirine wilh ihai of Guad-
ma, an ancient- mod era rerorinec of
ooly S300 vears ago, is also new. The
juukagei (legends) have never before
been iranijaied at all, no[ have the na-
mral hiaiory, why ihe forms of Ihe Bud
are 10 mnltiplied, been Linnieized. An
extraordinary coincidence of iu parts
withlbeRomiah riiuBl.likelhatiiinau-
UMiargical i and the Budhitt manu-
scripts used b^ Mt. Unham, exhibit a
earitWKion with Arabia and Souih
America, and an alllauce wiih magic.
Such is a mmmary view of ihis irnly
excellent and siandatil woric, of which
we shall make ample use, in illuslra-
tiot) of Druidism. To determine an-
cient doctrines by etymology only. Is
lo make mere puns scieniilic data. By
this practice chiefly the Welch siioil
•fchteology, whenever (hey meddle
wilh it," arul have accuidinvly BpoiU
ed, among the rest, ' the mythology of
ibe Druids,' which in the main is only
■ ootnpnnnd of (wo ancient supenii-
(ktn* SaUfitm and BudhUm. The
HeGo-Arkiie (heory is whdt the lawi-
yers call ' * fee moonied upon a fee,'
a new romance fonnded upon nirother
romance, made out of Welch poetry
and etymology. Fortunaiely, by means
of the valuable information now be-
fore us, we trust that we shall be able
lo throw light upon Druidisni, eoongh
at least to snow its real origin.
All parlies agree in ita Asiatic deri*
vatioii; but did they not, the antho-
ti^ of Diogenes Laerliul, who clissea
the gymnosophiils of India and the
Druids together, would be sufficient.
Herodotus, in his accooni of Zalmoxis,
a slave and disciple of Pythagoras, goet
far to prove the adoption of Budhisi
principles among the Celtic (ribei of
the liter or Danube, both as i( appear*
recorded in theBeven(hbookDr$iraba,
and in the olxervaiioui of Larcber.
(See our author, p. S7.)
Now thai Ihe liansmigralion of
souls is the leading doctrine of Bud>
hitm is evident from our author (p. 25);
that the Druids professed it, ii shown
by Cwsar, Sirabo, Valerius Maximus;
and Lucan ; and a certain Alexander
in Clemens Alexandiinu* has uid
thai Pythagoras, the great metempsy-
chosisi, was a disciple both of the
Druids and Brachmans. (Delpliiii
Notes on Ca3.. Bell. Gall. c. 13.) Tti«
Gymnosophists and Druids seem «1
bare been classed together by Dio-
genes ; because, says our author, p. 14,

their pasiioDi) of ciMsic writers, and u tha
UymnoMiphiata of Clemenl anil Porphyry."
We shall now exhibit in detail the
analogies between Bud his m and Dnild-
ism. We might have been indehieil
to the Phenicians for much of it, be-
cause the long struggle nl'the Budhists
and the BrahniinsdiB|>erBed the former
over all the regions of central Asia,
and through the islands of the eastern
Archipelago; and in the various migra-
tions which followed, we may aircouiil
for striking coincidences existing be-
tween India and Egypt and the Phe-
nician colonies. — See uur author, p. S9.

find a clear illustration of it thiu.f It
is well known that throughout lh«
whole Bible monotheism is the first
of religious duties, sad idoUir; the
greatest aberration. There are describ-
ed to haie been in Paradise trees of
Knowledge and Life, and a tempta-
tion by the Devil iu the form of a ser-
pent. Of wonderful trees (particularly
the padre zebayn tree, which sponia-
neoiisly ofTeted its fruit), inebriating
trees, &c- &c. mention is raaile in pages
57— 6g. And Maiinonidcs ascribes ibe
origin of such allegories to ihe Sa-
baian eonnptians before the Deluge. \
The nagas, or devils, were represented
as snakes with human faces; and the
feast h still celebrated of the inebriat-
ing fruit of ihc tree in the heaven Ta-
vaieizia), and of the rejoicings that
followed the warnings of the Nat god,
and preceded the fact of a Budhn being
about to appear on earth. (See pp. IS,

author gives ihe following account:

monument of Carnac is serpentine, but
Abury is a large circle, including two
smaller ones, with wings or avenues,
which have been called serpents. (See

Cerentonia in Sickneii. Mr. Pen-
nant, speaking of n village in Wales,
where was a church dedicated lo St,
Tecta, and a well, ss^s, the patient,
among other ceremonies, carried a/owl
in a baikel, drst round the well, and
then inio the chnrch-vard, uliimiteW
leaving the fowl in the church. If
the bird died, the cure is sup|)Osed to
have been efTecied, and the disease
transferred lo the victim (Tutir in
Wales. 1. -KJS). The Rev. Mr. Fox,
during his residence in Ceylon, says,
" Oppoiiic m ihe rroni of the Ma-
duwa [a temporary hui] was a claj
imageofayaksa.or demon, ona frame;
before the image laji a sick man, near
his feet was a inciter laikrli this I
lifted lip. and underneath il was a
hlackfowl, which I understood was to
be slaughtered at the dawn of day,
and its blood spiinkled on the image.
This is a very common service for the
lick." P. ]!i.
Mr. Upham gives the following ex-
planation of these sacrifices, which ex-
Clanation furnishes further conformiiieg
etween Budhism and Druidism.

This is quite different from received
opinions as to the altar character of
the Cromlech, but it is the only pas-
sage which can apply lo it ; and far
more so, to judge by iis usual construe*
tion, than the Minny-Phalaiige, or

is made op of farce and sarcasm, and

RaiclifTe* to the Gctrardi of Gerrardt

the Gerrardt. It ha* ajncc passed,
ihrou^ii the beirets of the last Lord
Gernrd, to the Dukea of Hamilton.
When John Lanrrence, son of Sir
James, was killi'd at Flodden Field,
the chief part of the Lawrence pro-
perly was divided 1>etv>cen the four
daugtiien of Hnbert Lawrence, only
btuuier of Sir James, or their de-

scended 10 Lancelot Lawrence of Ye-

Rabeit leave three sons, Robert, John,
and William, and makes this Willi

ton married F.liiabeih Clifton, grand-
diiughicr and coheir of Robert Law-
rence. .This William Lawrence, ac-
cording lo the pedigree, in Iftog sold
all bis property in Lancashire; but for
what reason is not certainly known,
and purchased Norton in Warwiclt-
abiie, and lands at WithingtOD in
Gloucestershire, whose revenues were
anciently moTC than ZOOOt. a year.
We may remark, ihat about \b 10 a
certain Jolin Lawrence, of Tuhoe in
Warwickshire, beqiieaihs lands at Nor-
ton limeii, in Warwickshire, to liis
cousin William Lawrence (t^istro
Bennei).
William Lawrence of Wiihington,

li*e hundred, sheep, among his five
sons or their children. Ht having snr-
vivcd Thomas and Edmund, lie nanvcs
Richard Lawrence of Foxcote the su-
pervisor ofhis will, and directs that be
should be buried at Wiihington, near
his late wife Alice (and not Isabella).
1. John, his eldest son, was parson nt
Wiihington; he died inlcslale 1668,
and his brothers William and RobeR
administered hi* will. This John
Lawrence must not be cooiaunded
with another John Lawrence, pre-
bendary of Worcester, whose will ta

Brudenell), leaving William, Roberi^
and Antony, who was of Sevenhamp-
ton. William of Shurdinglon died
l638, leaving William, Antony, and
Isaac, who married Grizel Lawrence
of Chelsea. 4. William LawrenM of
Yanworih, Yeoman, died 1588 (re-
(tistro Tyrwhit), leaving William of
Crickladc. b. Edmund Lawrence,
Yeoman, died before his father Ifi&g
(regisiro Chaoncy), and Richard Law-
rence of Foicole, Yeoman, died 1575
(tCKisiro Carew).
Such was William of Wiihington,
and bis immediate descendants. With-
out any pretension to gen[ilily, they
were richer than-half the gentry of the
land. For though he must be ignorant
of the value of money, who could
assert that hi* revenues were two thou-
sand pounds a year ; yet few tquirea in
the days of Queen Bess had five hun-
dred |iounds 10 bequeath ; and, though
many of our most illustrious peer* bk
descended from less elevated ancetton,
il would be absurd lo believe that a
venmaii was the nephew of Sir James
l^wrenceof Ashton Hall, whose. bro-
Iher-in-bw the Viscount Welles had
m.irried the Princess Cecilia, daughter
ofKingEdwanllV.

Bnt lo return to the cariooi pedi-
gree. Nicholas Lawrence of Agercrofi,
younger brother of Sit James, married
an heiress uf Moore. Here are
ihrce errort; Sir James had no bro-
ther bnt Robert. Agercroft, a mati-
fion near Manchester, belonged to the
family of Sir Robert Lnngley, and the
beitess of Moie, who was widow of
- Nicholson, was not the mother,
biH the firit wife of Sir Oliver Lau-
rence, and hetice his descendants quar-
tered her atou. Nicholas hid seven
•DM, Thomas, Robert, William, John,
Richard, Henry, and Sir Oliver. The
ftfth aon of this brood was f Richard
alio. Thia Richard, say* the genea-
logist, was aeated at Stapleton, en. Dor-
act. Now the Lawrences of Winler-
na SiapleioD, ofwhom Hiiichins gives
an account, were the detcendanis of
the abnTe-oieiKioDed Richard of Fox-
cote, a yeotnan, and conscaurntly could

Richani is named John, but hi* ao-
enontoftbe family is leucircumstautial
than the above.
Now this Richard bore for difference
in his arms an annulet; he therefore
must hare been a f\M\ son. He ha*
been considered the brother of Sir
Oliver I but as the deaths of the father,
ton, BDd grandson, socceeded so rapidly,
he might have lived to a vera old age,
and have beeo the son of Thomaa of
Yelnnd; and as nothing is knowD of
the father of Sir Oli«er, neither where
he dwell, nor whom he married, and
as Nic. and Ric. Nich. and Rich, in
the decypherjng of antient deeds, are
so easily confounded, it is not impos-
sible that Richard of Haningfnrdbury
has been converted into Nicholas of
Agereroft. William died either in the
3d of £dw., or 3d of Etiz., and Sir
Oliver, who died ISSeg, memlons in
his will hit lister Dorothy. This may
))Ossibly mean hii sister-in-law. Tho-
mas Franks bore the same arms as the
Franks ofjCanipsal ; and at York is

had the archivolt mouldings, and all

accustomed to retide togelher upon a
particulai spot long before it wai con-
Tcrted into a tnonaster; by a regular
endowment; and such was either the
case here, or there was an Anglo-
Saxon abbey which had been destroy-

the concern here being the beautiful
architectural remaini. We shall take
the plates in order.

t is not true, as affirmed in p. 10, that
hi* ichnography of a monastery in his
History of Whalley " is illustrated and
confirmed by the plans of other reli-
gious houses," 10 as lo form an unde-
Tiating gtandard. For instance, he
placet the cloister always on the toulk
of the conventual church, whereas at
Gloucester it was on the norfA, and so
in other instances. We are at a loss
bI*o to know bf what authority a pai-
Uge lermiDaiinp; in tteps is made a
"place generally appropriated to ves-
iTies." Of the conjunction of the
ebantei- house, church, and refectory,
witn the cloisters, a confident opinion
ma^ be given ; but we know that Mr.
Fotbroke, in the Encyclopedia of An^-
quilies, declines going any further. A
curious thing occurs in p. 10, §B.

Rktiew.— Sargant's ti/t of Alp, Craaaer,
Henry wh» to get rid utterly of papal
docninimi and iu ndvoeaiet; and Cran-
iner, by meani of playiog the Bible
agaitut the Pope as a lucceisful rinl,
wM to manage ihe buiinnt lo Hcnrji'i
satisfaction. It is noniente lo talk of
Henry's penonal ateem orfavouritiiun.
Henry valued no man except for con-
venience. He might have ihe feelings
of an obligeil genikmau towards an in-
ofienaire and useful dependant ; but if
he could have a lovely woman hang
rotiod bis neck in rondness, and cot
her head off the next day as indilfer-
CDtly a* be would haoe a spaniel, such
a inao must be too selfish for friend-
ship. The mild occationnl contradic-
tion of Cranmer, paiieatly endured by
the tvrant Sovereign, and so lauded by
Mr. Sargaat, was a mere difference of
opinion about petty details. The King
knew that they had a perfect agree-
ment as lo the muin principle, and he
*aw that the gome Cranmer was play-
inn, whatever manner the game was
played, still retained the important
point of answering his partner's lead,
and if the game was won, the object
was gained. Bui let the earae have
been lost, or let Cranmer have acted
as Sir Thomas More did, and denied
the supremacy, he would never hare
seen tne days of Edward the Sixth.
We do not by thus laying depieciate
the inconceivable merits of Cranmer.
The King wat pursuing his own selfish
game, and Cranmer, IiKeaphiloinpher
and patriol, instigated by public and
abstract principles, was takins ad-
vantage of the royal i
a system of benefd<
coantry, never lo be
gratitude; for be it r
the politics of Cram
constitutional liberty of Grcai uniiiiu
— all the glory, and ascendancy, and
wisdom of the national character —
all the mildness of its sovereignty — and
all the power of law and public opinion.
It wa«, too, of vast moment to make
the road lo heaven one that was regu-
lated by statute (the Bible), not by
despolitm, the Papal See.
But it ii vain lo expect unqualified
good, where human brings ace con-
cerned. The very fortunate hit which
is acknowledged to hare been the foun-
dalion of Cranmer's future eminence,
was thai of opposing the Bible lo the
Pope. Cranmer is exonerated from
every huputaiion of design in ihii tug-
gesiion. That shuffling felbiv Eias-
t is owing the
13S
mns (tee our Anlbor, p.4), had founded
a seel called Sc riptu rills t i. e~ men
who held that the Bible alone was the
source of religious truth, and among
ihe foremost of the University proie-
lytes was Cranmer, and he diligently
studied ihe sacred volume. Of course
he found upon the assay, that mixed
metal of papal brass, wiih n little gold,
was sold at made of the pure mineral,
and that the Clergy of the day were
only modern Iradin^ Jews, who carried
on a Buccetsful buimess, because burn-
ing alive was the consequence of com-
petition. Henry wantea both a chemist
and an alchemist; a chemist, who by
purifying the said pinchbeck in a era-
cible, with the Bible as a flux, would
precipitate the papal uaurpaiion among
the dross ; and an alchemist who would
turn the monastic estates into money,
— a measure which never entered into
Cranmei'i calculaiion, for he had loo
much goodness and singleness of heart
lo suspect that he was only a political
tool.
Cranmer't bobby wat circniaiion of
the Bible, and to that all his efforts
were directed. He was perfectlv cor-
rect i for the idea of those being Chris-
tians, who arc prohibited ihe perusal of
ihc Bible, is as absurd at ihere beins
lawyers who are not pelmilted to read
the Statutes. All other Chrisiiani can
only be caits in plaitler, not marble
statues, copies noi originals. But
neither his royal patron, nor himielf,
had any ideas that the devil would
sow tare* in hit wheat, and that it
would be made by rogues and ambl-
liooists, a tool of treason, which ihe
writ de htrttico had not before pcr-
mitled to he brought into uie. The
public mind should have been pr»-
vioutl^ prepared for anticipating in-
struction, and had thai ensued, II it
highly probable thai Mary would never
have ventured upon her massacres, nor
Charles the First bave been dethroned ;
but Cranmer thought more like an
angel than a slaleiman. He was pre-
mature, and did not know that ail
■udden innovations were danserout.
He was truly vexed at ihe following
lesulls. Mr. Sarganl lays,

beyond doubt. But the grand test of
genius is, the manner in which extra-

THIS Dtat tittle volume ia the fifih
Part of the Family Library, which hai
attracted ao iDUch notice, on account
of the elegance and cheapness of the
publication. The history ol the Jewish
nation (lo adopt the sentiments of ihe
writer) leads us through every grada-
lion of socie^, and brings us in con-
tact with almost every nation which
command) our interest in the ancient
world, from the migratory pastoral
population of Asia, to the art* and
Inxuty of Greece.
The arrangement of the present »o-
Inme is extremely Judicious. It ii di-
vided into eight bonks, wliich are dis-
tinguisbed by the foJIowine important
heads; viz. the Patriarchal Age — It-
■ " " rot— the Desert— the I---
sion — the >
-the Judaw— the
Israel. Thelatt chapterconcludeawilh
the capture of Jeruialeni. The diffe-
■cnt subjects are occationalW illustrated
with neat vignettes in wood. There is
aUo a map of Palestine, of wanderings
of the Iiraeliies, and the dominions of
Datid and Solomon.

THE Bible and Herodotus are the
Abaiy and Sionehenge of ancient his-
toiy; and we rejoice to find that the
character of the latter, as being the
father of fables, is every day more and
aiore proved to be shamefully unjust.
HcrodoiDs appears to have slated what

a roan lelhng a-giory by his nre-side —
a garrnluui liut entertaining old gen-
deman, not a procina one, at least not
to much as roost of his countrymen,
who with their perpetual fut indeed,
and yo^fer, and amplifying particles,
often use ten words where live would
do ; bat then there is luch niceneis and
delicacy of tatte in the ideas, such ad-
mirable skill in producing efltct, such

them the lack of ditto, and at per lail,
a( ttecessary commercial and bnsineM
brevity.
A) to Herodotu9, he certainly is the
Froiasart of his day, and we could sive
numeroua proofa of MsimiUiion, hut
we need only refer to one, the story
about Cliiihenes (in ihe present work,
E. 466), and the curimta fact thai the
lie romance of the Medixval Hialo-
lian is similar in style and manner to
the language of the old Grecian, if hia
diction was titerailj rendered.
The Transactions of the Boyal So-
ciety of Literature (partii.), which hat
recently appeared, contains an Essay
by Williao) Martin Leake, Esq. «t
the Demi of Altica. With that essay
novel diacuaaions relative to the battle
of Marathon ( and as this is a very in-
teresting subject, and Herodotua the
only author upon whom reliance can
be placed concerning li, we shall com-
pare the account of the Greek historian
with the elucidauona of Mr. Leake. .
" The AtheniiD ainiy «■■ u Bmngad on

tendeil u &r u that of the Medea ; its

The Athenians, aays Mr. Leake,
were posted in the valley of Urana,
and were protected from Ihe attacks of
the Persian cavalry by ireea in the
plain on iheir front, and by the moun-.
taina on both their flanks. On the day
of action the Athenians paased the Ah-
balis before them ; and that they might
extend their front In an equality with
the Persians, were compelled to weaken
their centre.
Of such being their real motives
we have doubts^ for Hannibal won
the battle of Cannm by precisely the
aame tactics as the Greeks gained that
of Marathon. He drew up his troop*
in the foim of a crescent, the centre
being the weakest part, and Ihe wiogt
ngest, and composed of hia beat

Irove in the centre, but were

On a trial for tnurder, one nf the wit-

"I heard him." The judge imme-
diaiely caught up the word in tbe
(cose of hiring, and ^reat confugioo
would have eniued, if the witneu'i
meaning bad not been explained.
In the En^liih tongue there are
three grand ditiinctlon*, the gentle-
man's, w it may be to called, conaist-
ing of (1) French and Latiu words,
which are very rarely ujed by the vul-
gar, and Kidom or ever correctly, ai
appear* by their laying lutpeel for re-
tpecl, Jermenialion for eonfirmalioit
(both which blunders we hare heard),
and to forth. The cause of French
being >o life wai, its being laught ai
an indispensable accomplithraeQl after
tbe Norman conquest, whence the
term " Jack would be a gentleman, if
be could speak French." (2) The
middling ctaiiei, English. This baa a
larger mixture of Saxon than the gen-
tlemnn'i. (3) The vulgar loTigue,
which ii the purest and most genuine
of all, being almost wholly Saxon. A
curious instance of this is mrotioiied
by our author. AJear'd is now a de-
cided vulgarism, ^et it has a far nobler
origin than afraid (from the French
effrayi) ; and Mr. Brockett (o. 4} noles
that aftar'd is repeatedly used by Shak-
speate, but a/raid, according tu his
recollection, never more than oncci
and here we must beg to notice a great
error of opinion. Ignorance of gram-
roar, and tow habits and i
the Norman advenlnterii for oar lur
live nobleaicn once talked as tbe tduw
poor do now. The eiyma of word*
are the tame to national histiny m
coini. An -English word would Dot
be found in ibe language of another
country, if there h»d never been any
intercourse wiih the English ; and in
lliit Glossaty there are words derived
from all the languagct of Europe, but
none from those of Asia, Africa, or
America, except now and then inter-
mediately, after natural! laii on, as, for
instance, atmanaek. Ooc further ad-
Tantage of these collections is pteserv.
ation of ancient customs. The word
infers tbe thittg, as a chimney don a
house; curiosity it excited, and the
obsolete thing is recorded. Mr. Broc-
ket! has made an interesting use of
this in tbe present work.
Examinaiion of books of ihit kind
is like paradinK soldiers, to see if ihej
have all got clean sUiru. Tbe turn-
out of Mr. Brockett's men does indeed
confer honour upon his discipline, but
we think that we have discovered a
paper shin-fi'LlI in one of the corp«.
We allude lo the word badger, origi-
nally a man who bought grain at one
market, and told it at another. Old
dictionaries give the tame definition,
and derive it from the French ; Mr.
Brockett from the Latin lajalut. But
we rather think that the French tofO-
per is the nearest root, badger being
only an abbrefiation. Shirwood doet
not refer us to any sinjcle French wor4
for BASOBii, but calls it cdui put
pOTle, fee.

they were proud, ,
set stalely hand, a formal thing, lialf-

nv a process similar to writing Greek.
When the lettcrt of a word were de-
tached from each other, that certainly
was (he case. No imllcalioni of cha-
racter can be drawn from such hand-
writing. It is pnnible loo, that many
jiersons never wrote ten letters in a
year, and merely got up an eiigiossing
hand for nccasional husiness purposes,
without any aludiowness of prnman-
ship. It is ceriain that the genuine
writing of Shakspeare ii pure enETost-
ing, and of ihe game chancier as the
clerk was Shakspeare's Schoolmaster.
Be that as It may, Shakspeare's teata-
mentary autograph is nothing but
charler-golhic. (See No. II, B.) We
mean his grmme hand, taken from
the siBnalure of his will: for we can*
not admit the Gothic-Italian " William
Skaktpeare kii fro«i«," in the tame
plate, to be free from suspicion. It)
the rS (capital^ the / (small), and other
letiera, variations oeenr; but we d6
not speak with confidence, beeauae we
know that it wag luital for the aante
persons at that period to write twit
different hands i and it is presomplivt
that ihey did apply the engrotsing ait-
tograph to law deeds ami buaincM
wriiinga, and the Italian one to fami^
liar letters and memorandomi. In ihe
Italian hand, however, of the »ra, the
capital S is veiy rarely if ever of the
Gothic form (as roar be seen even iq
Ihe plate quoted), but only a iwan-
neck seipcniine demi-ipiral, and in
the pretumtd Shakspeare the 5 capital
and the A and p tmall are theer Gothic.
We have not gone further, because in
■earchiog all the plates of this work,
we have not found a solitary instance
of the capital Gothic or black-teller ft
in running or familiar hind ; and it ii
upon this circumstance we have found-
ed our suifMcion, which we willingly
leave open lo confutation, because we
are sure that an exception, if ai>y be
found, will be eaceeoingly rare. A*

WE now reiurae our rcniarka on
thia Taluabie addition to our national
bitlory. At the conclusion of our lait
review, ve adduced the (ccouni oflhe
extraordinary revolution in the cabi-
net, daring the rebellion of 1743, aj
an instance of the ikill and fellcilT
with which the venerable writer had
employed hii rich itore of origitial ma-
terial!. In the tame manner he has
elucidated the varioui transaclioni of
the period ; and by raeant of doca-
meniary evidence, he hat aucceeded in
throwing a light equally novel and ta-
tilfactory, even on poinli with which
(he public waa previonly considered
to be the belt acquainted. Among
these we may particularize the struggle
for the nomination of Mr. Petham to
the management of the Treasury, ia
Oppoaition to the wishes and endea-
Toura of the royal favourite Lord Car-
leMt, arterwaida Lord Granville. The
curious and characteristic correspond-
Mcs of the veteran itatctman I^ird
Orfbrd. with his proteai and pupil
Mr. Pclham, will be read with much
interest from the information it afibrda
relative to the state of parties, and the
views of individuals. Equal interest
will doubtlest be taken in the detail
which is given of the oootiniul bieker-
ings between the Pelfaams aod Lord
Carteret, the contentioni for the mas-
aitm from ofltce, though not from the
favour aod confideneeof theSovereiEO.
On the disaatroot cbanae in poblie
aflaira, which commenced with the
defeat of the British and their allies at
Fonteney j the descent of the Pre-
tender's son ia SeoJand ; the singular
events which marked that crisis ; the
daring march of the rebels into Eng'
land ; and the various fortnoea of the
Rebellion, until its final extinction,
ihe icKarehes of ArcbdckcOB Coxe
have lea us Irttla to desire. He hM
enabled u* lo trace the catuet that gav«
character and conaiaiency to an enter-
Erise, which, till the invasion of France
y ibe exile of Elba, was regarded a*
perhaps the most singular and ttriking
in the course of modem history.
Another transaction of especial iiUi
porunoe, though liule known in de>
tail, was the peace ofAix la Chapelle.
The misfoittiues by which it was pre*
ceded and indeed occasioned, and iho
negocintioos and arrangements which
led to the signature of the prelimina-
ries, have never before been so dis-
tinctly, so ably, and so fully developed.

Archduke Joseph the reversion of the

At to the enihuiiasm to which ibia

we think that denuminatioo of me-

they thought that pokeia were warned
to tiir up the dull fire, and tponta-
neoudy perlbrmcd the office of ihero.
They Knew nothing of philoaophy, or

AMONG the eeographical aludiel
of joung persons, tliat of obtaining an
intimate and correcl acquaintance with
the leading features of their own coud^
try, is the most important. Everywell-
executed plan for rendering the sons
and daughters of Britain familiar with
the exact situation of its places and ri-
vers is therefore entitled to praise. The
Map which this Key Illustrate* has
this great object in view. 1l ii design-
ed on the new method of designitiDg
places and rivers by mimrrofj and Itt'-
ten instead of by tiamei. The plan,
we think, is a good one ; for the recoK
lection of our own youthful studies itt
get^raphy reminds us that we werri
often able to point out the locality of
places, and trace a stream in its pro-
gress by seeing their namei, while we
were at a lost 10 liz their exact siiut^
lion without this aid. The method
adopted in this Map will therefore ex-
pedite the acquisition of knowledge,
and imprint it on the mind when it is
once there. We approve also of the
extensive scale on which it is designed,
and its freedom from those dark sha-
dows which are too prevalent in rao»
dern maps, and which make it a task
of most anxious and oflen unavailing
labour to discover the places laid down
in them. The Explpnaiory Key which
describes the places and rivers of each
county seems drawn up with ability,
and with an attention 10 the toanti of
scholars, and, tosether with the Map, ia
a very useful addition to our stock of
geographical literal a re.

In 1634 we find Sit Lewis Dyve
performing an active part in ■ nuarrel
between bis half-brother Lord Digby,
and Mr. (afterwards Loid)Crofts. The
circumstances are thus related in a
news-letter from the ttev. George Gar-

Junes, that venr:
"The Lord DIgby and young Wil-
liam Crofts of the Queen's side ha»e
had a quarrel, li was for three or four
monihi whispered that Mr, Crofts
shotild lay he had kicked the Lord
Digby. At length it comes to Digby'*
ear, beini; told him by his brother Sir
Lewis Dyve, who then watched aa
occasion to speak with Mr. Crofts.
They met both upon the Irawltng-
place in lheSpring-garden§ by chance,
both swords at their sides, Mr. Ctofta

"If yon knew how eaaie a puuge it

Sir Lewia mod after followed.
In [he Parliament'i "Declaration''
retpeeling the King's atteinpt to enter
Hull, they connected it with Lord
Digby'i letten; affirming that the fean
which had directed iheir lint more-
ments reoardiog Hull, were " the
more confirtned by the tight of lome
iutercepted letiert «f the Lord Digby
(a principal pertoD of that party) writ-

whereby that party discoTered an en-
deavour lo pertuade hi) Majoiy to de-
dare himielf, and retire into some
place of safety in this kingdom, in a|>'
poiition to wayt of accommodation
with hit People."t
It appeart from the Parliament'a
Remonstrance, May S6, l648, that
"Sir Lewis Dyve, a person that took
not the least pari in this late busineia
of Hull, was presently despatched
away into Holland i"t and there exiitt
a letter of the Queen, in which she
mcntioot havinft heard from the mouth
of Sir Lewis, at the Hague, a detail
of the feceot proceedings.^
The ilepariare of Sir Lewis wai
well-timed; for on the sgth of April
the House of Commone " Ordered,
That the Serjeant be required lo bring
in Sir Lewis Dyvc, who is a delin-
quentbyaformerOrderoflhe House;"
and on the 9th of May, a letter was
icceifed " from Sir Chriaiopher Wray
and Mr^ Halcher, o! the 6(h of May,
from Hull, concemiog the pinnace

Later in the same year Sir Lewi* was
engaged with Prince Huperi and Princs
Maurice, and hit brother Lord Digt^,
in an action near Worcester, in whicb
they were victorious, but onr hero re-
ceived a wound in the shoulder.
It wa* in this campaign also thai,
says Mrs. Hutchinson, "a troopeof c^

Dyve, came toStanion, near Owthorpe,

were coromingtoOwthorpc, (of which
Mr. Hutchinson having notice, went
awayto Leicestershire) but they, though
they had orders to seize Mr. Hutching
In ihe tame summer (lG4S), w«
find an expectation of Sir Lewis be-
coming a host of royalty. Sir Thomaa
TvrrelT, of Thorp in Bedfordshire, in
a tetier dated " 'Throp, 35 July, l648,"
says, "On Saturday night the King
came to Huntingdon, where he now
is } and we beare that he intend* lo
be at Sir Lewii Dyve's house by Bed*
ford on Wednesday, and *oe to coma
into the county j then for WooJ-
stock."!
It mutt have been about the tame
time that the Parliament commission-
ed Sir Samuel Luke, the original of
fiuiler't immortal Hudibrat, 10 appre-
hend Sir Lewis at his bouse at Drom-
ham. On the €th of August, in con-
currence with a proposition from the
Lords, the House ol Commons " as-

Mr. Urbah, Sept. IS.
THE situeliotl of ihit iilet, called
bj the ancicnis Iciij, whence the
Cornish Briions brought their tin at
lo«r water, 10 be shipped hj the Phce*
nician merchants, has occasioned much
controversy among antiquaries. One
luppoees it to be Si. Michael's Mount;
another ihe Black-rock in Falmouth
harbour ; a ihird, St. tJicholas, vulgo
Drakc'i island in Ptymoulh Sound ; a
fourth conjures the Isle of Wight into"
the ideniical *pot; while others nith
greater prolubility consider it to have
been deslTojed by the encroach men is
We are told by Diodorus Siculus,
that according 10 Itie tide it was either
an island or a peninsula. At first isighc
there certainlydoes appeara remarkable
coincidence betwixt this description
and St. Michael's Mount; but when
we call to mind the manifold change*
that hdVe, and continualljr do take
place on the sea coast, as well ■* tha
testimony of tradiiion, we shall soon
learn it nerer could have been the Ictis
of that writer.
Mount's bay, it is said, was origi-
nally land covered with wood. Some
fcan since several trees were found
uried in ihe sand near iheMounlf,
a proof of the veracity of thisiradition;
wnich further tells us, this land ran a
considerable way into ihe sea, and was
called the " Land of Leonesse,'' a
name supposed to be of Phceniciaa
origin. Risdon also, in ihe Rrst para-
graph of his Survey of Devon, says,
" That region which geographers ac-
count the first of all Britain, and
shooteth out furthest ^nto the west,
was once reputed the fourth part of
(his island, and supposed to be a klne-
dnm IrfoTt ihr tea ttoallaxed up tkt
land belween St. Burian and tht iatandt
of Scillg, included under the name of
panmonia, is of later times divided
into two parts, known by ihe names of
Devonshire and Cornwall.'' In the

This land of Leonesse was oief-
whelmedl al a remote period by some
great convulsion of nature, either by
an inundationoran earthquake, perhaps
by the agency of both. Sir Chris-
topher Hawkins, in his "Observations
on the Tin trade of the Ancients in
Cornwall," aiTects to despise this ac-
count, because the precise, date when
it occiirred cannot be ascertained,
*' for we caonol give credit to so ettra-
* Tliis allude* to the pHmg* in the iaCercepted letter of Sir Lewis to the EvI of

Thoae who favour the Black-rock,
do so because the river Fat is in the
centre of the mining district ; but,
reply their opponents, it la at a dia-
laace from any other lock, and scarcely
above water at low tide. Both these
arguments are fallacious, for it clearly
appears from Diodoras, that Ictis was
near the promontory of Bolerium-f
(Land's end). Even had we not his

■ntho^ly, I should not be inclined lo
reject its claim for the laittr reaaon,
because the encroachment of the sea
niighl have reduced it to what it ia,
and lefl the bare rock, as it were, a
monument of its triumph.
The pretensions of Drake's Islattd
are equally objeetionable, and ihoae
who defend them, cannot be acquaint-
ed with the Tamer; for. If the Briton*
worked the mines on the banks of that
river, it is not likely they would take
the trouble lo britiig the produce in
carts round its diflereni creeka and
branches, to this spot, when it could
be brought hither with less fatigue in
boala.
The Isle of Wight has no one argu-
ment in its favour; in the first place,
it is 100 far from the main land. Ita
size is also against it, for we are led to
believe that Icila was only a small islet
where the tin was brought for the
conveniency of being shipped. Lastly,
but not the leaat, ia its great distance
from even the moat eastern parts of
the territories of the Danmonij ; avrd
it is very improbable they would take
this their valuable meul »o far through
the dominions of a hostile nation lo
this Island, though it might then join
the continent of Britain, when they
themselves were divided into three
tribes continually at variance with each
other. Besides, we have no proof that
the Phtenicians ever traded so far east
as the Tamer, much leas there ( a),
thouah a gold coin of that nation was
found some years back in Torbay, and
Start point is supposed to owe its name
to their goddess Aslane.
The only reasonable conclusion to
be drawn is, that Ictis was somewhere
near the Land's-end (because the oldest
mines are In that neighbourhood), but
destroyed by some violent commotion
of nature, as the Atlantis of PMny was.

arechieflv of atone, but small and low;
and are disposed in one atreet, about a

only were employed in agriculture,
SI7 in trade, manofactures, or handl-

Upon the subject of the earth's in-
ternal structure, ihe changes it has un-
gone, and the pheiinmena ivhich are
atleodsnt upon its siudy, the apecula-
liom of some of the iuosl talented pro-
fessors of modern science have been
eiDployed. The thinking and research
of the philosophic mind hai joined iu
labours with the niost eminent theolo-
oians, and has endeavoured to elicit new
facts of Eeacralixiog import, opcMi a
subject of which tbe information given
ua IB the Scripture ccumozony is to
extremely scant as to excite, rather
ihoQ Mtiifj, the rettlea* curiosity of
tbe enquirer.
Revelation is almost silent on these
natlen, and the light she actually af-
foidi seems sometimes at variance, on
■niny points, with the eiucidationi of
philosophy. This has been felt bj
many inVcslJgalors. Hutchinson, op-
posed lo Newton,— and with far less
reason than Whitton, who, in ihe in-
troduction to hit celebrated " Theory,"
endeavoured, not without some soc-
cet*i lo reconcile the apparenilj dis-
cordant Scripture accounts, connected
with (be creation, and the evideoee
we receive from philosophy, — Hutch-
iDfon, opposed to Newton and Wood-
>vatd, advocated, in physics, the hypo-
ihetis of literally adopting the Mosaic
" CotmogoDT.'' Hii reasons, how-
ever, it will be owned, are too weak to
weigh much against the sentiments of
ibosc who, with WhiatOD, think that
Motes never intended to instruct man-
kind in science; but only to give the
Jews, his contemporaries, an intelli-
gible and coherent accoont of these
^iogs, addresaed to their E^mitcd tian*
dard of scientific knowledge.
*' Des Canes and Hume," says the
fsmous impuguer of Locke (Dr. Reid),
" have each given us a system of hu-
man nature. Christopher Columbus
and Sebastian Cabot migbl, with equal
reasoi), have given us a map of tbe
whole of America." On review of the
numerous writers who have given us
" Theories" of the earth, may it not
be said ihat they hare, most ot them,
sencialized the comparalively few facts
known of the Natural History and
structure of our globe, lo form siveefv
ing and unlimited hypoihesei ; and
often worked up splendid systems from
very slight and vague motetieli i Ray,
that ihe pegaaus of their im^inattOB
hasoutstripped their sober analysis, and
real facts. Whitehurst, however, a
genius who owed more to nature than
to education, demands many ezcep-
lions in his favour, whibl ihasclassk-
fying the " Theoiists." In his " Ei>.
qniry into the Formation of the Eaitfa,"
he adopts, in some instances, the c^i-
nions of Burner, and leaches that, at
the period of the universal Detuge,
the bed of the old ocean heaved itself
above the abyss, so as to form, npon
the subsiding of the waters, the prcKM
habitable globe. Bat the paiicacc
with whieh he always invest igaias, en-
titles his hypothesis to respect,
in Whiston's elaborate work, the
author proceeds systematically ; and
certainly no writer on these subjecia
has displayed more learning, or shown
a more ardent spirit of pcnevering re-
search- In bis " Lemmata,'' or tint
book, however, his logical and made-
matical displays, together with hit
" Scholia'' and " Corollaries,'' go fat
in leading off the reader's mina from
the true object of enquiry coaceming
the letntjueous globe, and in his " Hy-

lory compleie) should precede the Ro-
wan lera. I'he difficuliy, from the
eapence and labour of travelling, in
supplying this desideratum, ihmugh-
out the counties of England, would be
very considerable ; but, uuiil it is done,
the Archaeology of this country will be of Ihe
defective. There is one fortunate cir-
caaistance. The eieculioo in a scien-
lilic view is quite easy, the requisite
pteliniinary knowlcdKc (as observed
before) lying in a small compass. But
the deductions from such knowledge
are vci^ impoiiani tothe philotopher
and historian, and may tnruw great
light upon that latent topic, the man-

immurial nanel to effectually indeed
unihilaled it, that, it it reported, Sir
Darid Baird and une terfrrant ware all
thai ■nrrired of the originat 73rd.
It waa in tb« year of jti arrival that
Hydcr Ally made hit Fearful irruption
npsn tbe Camatic. He bad inlcrpoted
bM vaat army between ibat of tbe Brit-
i)b, commanded by Sir IfectoT Munroe,
aod a amaller force under tbe command
•r Colonel Bailliei wbea tbe latter,
bariof aJrtady luffercd contiderabty In
aamgagemenc with the barbarl ana, tent
t* tbe commander Ibe account oF bit
diBcalt tiloation, ibat be bad luitained
a loaa which rendered him incapable of
advancing, whiial hia total want of all
proriilont made it equally inpoMible for
Mm to nmain where he wai.
Conceiving It lmpa*iibl« to cope in a
general engagenent with an enemy wbo
oat- numbered him at leaat twelve tine*
DTcr, and wbo bad, betide, an immenae
xapcriority oF cavaJiy, Sir Hector Mon-
ne, with tbe adrlco of a CouDcil of War,
judged tbe only courte lo be partsvl
waa to endeavour to tupply CoIomI
Baillie with tueh a reinfuroement «
would enable him to path forward in
deapite of tbe enemy. The detachment
teleeted contiited in all oF about one
tbausand men, under tbe conduct of
Colonel Fletcher, and ill main fiirce wat .
camputed oF the grenadier and inFanlrj
oompaoiet of Lord Macleod'a regiment,
commanded by Cnplain Baird, a n««
and untried force, and a new and untried
officer. Their jonelion with Colonel
Baillie waa not performed but at immi-
nent haiard, Hyder Ally having gained
inlelligence of the movement, and tent
a ttroug body tu cut tbem off on Ibeir
way, which waa evaded by a longeircul*
tout route and tbe friendly cover of tin
night.
Hyder, however, Waa determined Ibat
tbey thould not return to aafely i and
under hia own pertonal ininectioD be'
prepared,*itb coniummale ability, a trap
to deitroy tbe united detachmenta. Ao-
cordingty, on the lOib of September,
day-light had acarcely broken when tbey
unwanly advanced into tbe very centta
of hit toili. The enemy in anbuHude
reaerred their fire, with admirable eool-
■im and lalF command, till tbe unhappy
Engliih were in the midat of Ihem. Our
army marched in column, Onaiudden,
wbilit in a narrow defil;, a battery of
twelre guna opened upon Ihem, and,
loaded wilh grape ahol, poured in upon
their right flank. The Engliili faced
about ; another battery immedialelj
opei>ed on their rear. They had no
choice, therefore, but to advance) other
batitriei met tbem here Hkewiae, and la
leai than half an hour 67 placet of can-
non weic (0 brought to bear on them,
M( tu penetrate into every part of lbs
Briiiib line. By tcven o'clock in tbe
morning, the enemy poured down upon
tbem in thoutandt, and every Englith-
man in the army waa engaged. Captain
Baird and bit grenadien Fought wirb tbe
greateat beroiam. Surrounded and at-
tacked on alt tidel, by 35,000 cavalry,
by 30 regimenla oF Sepoy infantry, be-
lidei Hyder't European corpi, and a nn-
tnerout artillery playing upon tbem from
all quarten, within grtpe-abot dialanca,

[Sept.
of all tbii tnnult uid eitreme peril, thej
Mw the BriLiib grenidien perrormin;
tbeir erolntioiu witb m mucb prcciilan,
coalneu, ulil ■((■dincii, aa if under tbe
eyeof acommander on a parade. Colo-
neli Bailtie and FleCeber, aod Captain
B^rd, had. only ten piecei of canaon,
but tlieie were lo excellently lerved, that
they made freac hiTiK amangst the ene-
my. At leogtb after a dubroua contut
of three hours, from lia in tbe morning
(ill nine, vielory began to declare for the
Engliabi the flower of the Myaore sa-
▼alry, after many bloody repulaei, were
at length entirely defeated with great
(laugbter, and the right wing;, compoted
of Hyder'a beet forces, wai thrown into
diiorder, and began to give way. Hyder
hinieH waa about tu give tbe urden fur
ntreat, and the French officer who di-
rected tbe artillery already befan to draw
it oS.
It wai in this moment of eiultalion
■nd triumph, that aa unforeseen and un-
avoidable niiFortune occurred, which to-
tally chiDged the fortune of tbe day, and
effectually tbrew tbe conquering army
Into the arrai and power of thota wham
tbay had vaoquiabed. By lome. moat
miierahle accident, the tumbrib, which
contained tbe ■mmonit ion, suddenly blew
up with two dreadful exploaiona, in the
eentreof tba BHtiih lines. One whole
lace of their column wai tbu* entirely
laid open, ind their artillery overturnad
and detiroyed. The dettructian of men
was great, but tbe total Iota of tbeir am-
munition waa still more fatal to tbe lur-
TiTora. Tippoo Salb, a worthy aon of
bil martial father, instantly saw and
seized the moment of advantage, and
without waiting for orders, fell witb the
utmost rapidity, at tie bead of tbe Mo-
ful and Carnatic bone, into the broken
aquare, wbicb had not yet time in any
degree lo recover ita form and order.
This attack by the enemy'a cavalry be-
ing immediately aeconded by tbe French
corps, and by the first line of infantry,
determined at once tbe fate of our un-
fortunate army. After *uccea(ive prodi-
giet of valour, the brave Sepoya were
almoat to a man cot to piecea.
Colonela Baillie and Fletcher, assisted
by Captain Baird, made one more des-
perate effort; tbey ralliedlbeEuropeans,
and, under the fireof the whole immenw
artillery of the enemy, gained a tittle
eminence, and formed t be m selves into a
new aquare. In thia form did ibis in-
vincible band, thau|;h totdly without
ammunition, the officers fighting only
witb their aworda, and the aoldiers with
their mere bayoneta, resist and impulse
the myriads of the eneify, in thirteen
different attackB; until at lenglb, inca-
pable of withatanding tbe luccetaive
torrents of fresh troops which were con-
tinually pouring upon ihea, they were
fairly borne dawn and trampled upon,
many o( them atill continuing to light,
under tbe veiy lep of the borae* aLiid
elephanta.
The loasof tbe English in tbii eii|;«Ee-
ment, called tbe battle of Petimbancuni,
amounted to about 4000 Sepoys, and
GOO Europeans. Colonel Fletcfaer was
amongst tbe number of tboae who were
slain on the field. It ii indeed a rcaton-
able subject of aurprise that any one es-
caped. Colonel Bailtie and Captaia
Baird, after being severely wounded in
four placea, together with aeveral other
officers, and 300 Europeaua, were made .
priaonera. Tbey were carried into the
presence of Hjder, who, with a true
Aaiaiic barbarism, received them with
the most insolent triumph and ferocioua
pride. The Engliih officers, witb aspirit
worthy of their country, met his beha-
viour witb an indignant oooloesa and
contempt. " Your son will Inform you,"
said Colonel Baillie, appealing to Tippuo,
who was present, "that you owe tbe
victory to our diaaater, rather than to
ourdefeat." Hyderangiilyordered then
from bis presence.and commanded tbem
initantly to priaon.
Hyder'a army, however, purchaaed
thia victory at a very dear rate. The
slaufcbter fell almost entirely on bis beat
troopi, and the number ia believed to
have nearly trebled that of tbe whole of
Colonel Baillie's army. This Iom la
stated (0 have augmented the aatnrat,
ferocity of Hyder'a temper, and may be
reasonably aldgned aa a cause for hia
cruel treatment of hia pnioneti.
They were marched to one of Hyder'a
neareat forts, and there subjected to an
imprisonment, of which, confinement in
a horrible dungeon was tbe least circnm-
stanee. Captain Baird, in particular,
was chained by tbe leg to another pri-
soner, ai mucb of the alangtiler in Hy~
der's army was imputed to tbe Engliih
grenadiers. He remained a prisoner at
Seringapatam three years and a half.
In March, I7M, be was released, and la
July he Joined, at Areot, bis regiment,
which in ITSS changed ita number to th«
Tlst. In ITBT be embarked with it for
Bombay, and returned to Madras in
ITBB. He received tbe majority of the
Tilt June b, IT8T; and in October ob-
lained leave of abaence, and visited
Britain. He obtained (be Lieut.-Colo-
nelcy of the regiment, Dec. g, 1790; and
in IT91 returned to India, and joined

not only be able to compete with thoae

examined many facts connected with
the geology of our globe. He arraigns,
likewise, the opinions of the author of

Werner, in his " New theory of

ihe earth were once in a aiatc of solu-

formed by an assemblage of sedimentt

waters which covered the globe.'' And
M. Curiei so far favours ihe hypo-
theses of Burnel and others, a* lo as-
sume the total disrupture of the upper
crust of our globe at the epoch of ihe
Deluge. " I am of opinion wiih M.

on closing bis remarks in his Essay

froin Herefonl to Exeter it) 1420; he
died in 1445, and was buried in the

Dictionary emanating from tnch high
authority ai to decide the questioA
what wonls are English, and what are

tutes for pedantic and un-Engtith
words. With what pleasure should
we receive such a eiCt as this from tb«
it<nral Society of Literature.
A Dictionary formed on this prin-
ciple would not, like those of the Ita-
lian and French Academies, narrow
and confine the bounds of the l*n>
S^f
ige; it would on the contrary, beside*
IfuyiTying it fiom the stains it has al-
ready contracted, lend lo increase iu
stores by the direction* it would gtia
for doing it without injury to the ana^
Ion or uniformity of Ihe whole.
To complete the work, a series of
our best classics ihould Ik published,
in which the words declared unsuitable
to the language should be explained in
the margin by the new compound* or
derivative* proposed in their stead.
Amongst Ihe other advantages of thit
plan, it would probably completely d^
stroy ihe too prevalent notion that lh«
momenta good author make* use of a
word, that term, however absurd, how*
ever lepUBnaiit to the gtoius of the
language, becomes English. The prac-
tice would, besides, b« absolutely ne-
cessary. Sir Thomas Brown could cer-
tainly never be read with merely th«
assistance of a good dictitntary of tha
English language. He need* aGloi-
sary for himself, and a Glos*ary be
ought lo have.
XXVII. Wordsworth, in the Essay

quotes as an instance of the Strang
and meaningleas nonsense that sutu
the appetite of ihe British public, Cow-
per*a celebrated line* written in ibe
character of Alexander Selkirk i.
and ridicules, with all ihe humouT he
can matter, the idea of the bells going
to Church. Really for a writer who
aspire* lo the character of an English
scholar, this is too bad. . Does Dot Mr.
Wordsworih know that the word end-

Such IS the uniTctsally admired theory:

Wherever the reader of Latin findl
the word lonum, he must apply hii
mind to the task m> extremely worthy
ofa rational being to discover, whether
it be nominative, accuiaiive, oi voca-
tive ; he must in fact exert a certain
degree of labour to find out its mean-
ing, even if he have given his whole
life to the study of Latin, a study by
the bye which generally occupies at
least seven times ■■ much time and
troable ■• that of any other language,

feminine plural the same at the geni-
tive anddaiive femininesitwular; the
nominative neuter plural the tame u
the Dominatiie feminine and vocative
feminine singular. What a mass of
confusion and abiurdity is this.
Surely I need proceed no further
in my analysis. It mutt be qoiie evi-
dent to every impartial obterier, that
to read in Latin can be no pleasure at
all; that the mind must be continually
on the watch even to catch the bare
meaning of the wordt, and must be
con iiantiy loaded with these wretched
intricacies of grammar. It is not only
in the adjectires that the fault is ob-
tervabte — not a single declention, not
a «tng)e conjugatioo, it frae fipta theae
miserable trammels, although it in«at
be acknowledged that the verba are OOt
quite so bad ai the resL
1 have now, I trust, tnlBciently ex-
emplified my theory of trying everr
language by iu own geoios; and I
have proved by exaini nation that while
English is almost entirely free from
anomdiei militating against its graentl
spirit, Latin it in everv direction chok«d
by the most ridiculous grammati^
abiurdities, directly tending to thwart
itg principal claim to admiration. 1
shall therefore at once conclude, with
merely observing that the geniut of
Latin ia such as to render it no vet;
eligible medium for the communic*-
tion of facts t and that, as the varioot
checbi on that geoios I have pointed
out, only tend to render it still more
unlit, by making composition in it aijU
moie ambiguous and obscure, it ia won-
derful that it should so long have re-
mained a language of general oae aad

SDoner than the Welch side,>-<ivilited,
we aay, because it ia to be recollected
that the primary aeltlemeou of iheae
Celtic taints imply waste and forest.
The old Hiitoriet of Tmtern and Du>
bticins exhibit this circumstance, at
well as the still esiitiog forest of Dean,
with its rnGtropoGa Si. Briavtrt, oliia
firrainu. Upon the sccurily of iba
Somerseuhirc coasl depended that also
of the whole west of England, south of
the Severn and, the Bnslol Channel ;
and certain it is that whatever Mr.
Seyer has deduced from Caer-Odor (a
camp to protect the ford at Clifton}, aa
the archetype of Bristol, amounts odIt
to this, — that it wu one of that city*!
covering forts t fo' the Celts did not
perch their towns upon heighia, only
placed citadels there to guard ihem,
Caaar aasures us that the Celts placed
their lotBju npoo tongues of land, or
Eeninsulas, surrounded on three tide*
y water or marsh. Was Liondon
perched upon Shooter's Hill or High-
gale? Yet Gildas mentions il at tho
ancient seat of commerce vii Thameits j
and Bristol the tame viA Sabrins ; for
though he does not ezprettlj denomi-
nate them, yet circumstances show
that no other sites were or could be
denoted. When, therefore, tt is said,
in p. S74, that Bristol probabli/ sprang
from Caer-Odor, the Clirton camp, the
very converse, viz. that Caer-Odor
sprang from Bristol, it most accordant •
with archsology and history. ' In our
noticeof Mr. Seyer'i Bristol (vol, icvi.

Cadbury, Dolebury, &c. all show t
military character of this coast, before
the Roman tera. Worlebary camp
(noticed in our vol. izxr. d. 1<M7,) of
which a plan is given by Mr. Rutier,
p. 53, it tbe most remarkable of these.
The site it a narrow tongue of hill,
guarded on the slope by triple ratn-
paria, and a scarped- side. The land
approach it protected by a troall double
square with three valla, beyond which
is a slight irregular work, the irenche*
of which run down tathe water's edge,
it was therefore intended for the pur-
pose of communication with the sea,
under protection of the fotiress. Ban-

Another im|Kiriant point of ancieni
history connecied with this district is
the number of mines, some or most of
which have been somewhat unphiloso-
phicallj denomioaied antediluvian ca-
verns, and vtrj romanlicallv depictrd.
Indeed this is the fairy land of geoto-
, gists; and their careros, whilom inha-
bited by hyenas, remind us of the sub-
terranean abodes of the genu in the
Arabian Night*, and Cornelius Agri-
cola's demons of ancient mines. We
fully admit that the discovery ofcriKO-
dilet or other amphibious animal* im-
bedded in limeslone, are decisive tesli-
moniei, together with numerou* fossil
fish, of the great cataclysm i but this
phsoomenon i* admitted to imply
another, of which no doubt is enter-
lained, lii, that the surface of our
preMOl earth was the botiom of the
antediluvian tea. Of coarse all the
terrestrial animals whose remains are
found, tauil have lived luhtegumtl^ to
Ike deluge t and we are sure that the
appearances which accompany the dis-
coveries are not consistent vt'ith the
natural habits of the animals. The
carnivoroua and herbivorous tribes alt
appear in the loving amiiy oftheUnt-
ted Service Club, and, exemplify the
coast was overwhelmed by a most ex-
traordinary flood, owing to the sudden
rise of the spring tides, through art
united action of the moon and the
wind in an unusual manner. An ac-
count of this flood by a contemporary
is given in detail in Fosbroke's Bcrlie-
ley, p. e6, and among the circum-
stances narrated are these ; viz. that
the bird) could not fly fast enough to
eicnjie ihe rushing mounlaim tfwairr,
— there floated upon the waters the
proj
iphecy in Isaiah, uf the lion and the /"re the ittugt." The
lying down toother. But " ' ->-— — --- --' -^

at that of 1606, snch rriolu and aocb
inundations might have repeatedh
happened since the great deluge, aid
at times when there werehyxnas, i\c

all events, if the surface of the present
earth be the bottom of the antedilu-
vian sea, the animals mentioned could
not be pre.existent to that surface, tnti
thereFbre not be antediluvian ; if sndh
surface be not the bottom of the aud
sea, how are we to explain the leata-
ceous fossils, limeslone, &c. tee. tamtA
in nor highest mountains! Besides,
there is another very important circnm-
itancc left out of^ consideration, vii,
that aubmerged bodies sink only so lar
as specific gravity will allow, and no
farther. Many laden shi|)s which
founder at sea, do not sink to the bot-
tom. (See Mac Taggart's Canada, i.
I4.J We cannot therefore expect Tot-

a sea. The gnawed bones, therefore,
of tbe Kirkdale, Uphill, and Tonjuay
caves, do not prove to us that ihey

driven to one and Ihe same retreat

If the chorus danced round the Stage

and it Iw catabliiil
that there was no possihilily of dancto^
in lone before the invention 'of (he
lime-table in the middle ages, It only
follows that there could be no correct
dancing to music ; but that there vrei*
both dancing nnd mKrt) of dtstinot
character, is beyond donhl. Horace
sets the question at rest, for he clsima '
the metil of having adapted the Gre^
metres to the Lailn tongue; and, if
there be a difllculty in the subject. It
must proceed from liceniionineas mAy,
and modea of pronunciation, -btKliUe
it is evident that, in the compositkni
of verse, there wai a diflierettce of
metre ; and in the composition of
proae, a rhythm, i. e. an irregolar ver-
sification, a sort of recilalive.

^PortugiA. By Willua WslMn. Sm.
Sir James Mackintosb, on Jane
tst, I62g, made a motion in the House
of Commoni tetpecting the affairs of
Poflugal ( and the gist of Mr. Wal-
ton's elaborBlc asd tcieotiiic pamphlet
is to show that Sir Junes, bawevcf
eloqutrnt and able he i«, knew lltiJe at,
indeed nothing of the laws, insiiiuliona.
or cutloms. of that counln. Theac
are brought forward, therefore, in >
very evidential l^al style by Mr. Wal-
ton, who is certainly a ^nilemanl^
and temperate conlraTersialitt. It li
naua) tor Englishmen to judge of all
countries by their own, as to nwnnert
and customs, and they commit ^reat
erroTS through iniorance of localities,
ehiefly becauae ihey do not understand
the main support of arbitrary govera-
ments on the Continent, vie. ttmt
there is no medium there of firing in
the world bnt through the Suie, and of
coune people are lervile. But to lbs
work before us. Nobody itudiet the
laws of Portugal, or thinks them wonh
itudying, and vet many give Iheif ooi-
nions very freely and rashly. Ekin Mi*
suet, according to Mr. Walton, it them*
foTc ill used, through this ifcnorance;
because, ho taya, that when Don Pedro
became Emperor of Btaiil, he coa^
nanted to resign the kingdom of Por*
tugal, the Brazilians deeinitig it ti|/rn
S. that they should be treated as «
ony of that small kingdom, while,
nice verti, Portugal suppotli Don Mi-
guel through fear of becoming a colony
of Brazil. He adds, that the tncces-
sion to the latter crown is in the Eo^
liih manner elective, provided it doca
not goout of the faaily. It it eeruin,
however, that Don Miguel acccptod
the government from his brother onlj
as Regenti and that he has made ■
claim lam jure. Mr. Walton cootends
(p. 1S4} that all the libels about Don
Mignel are English fabrications ; ibat
Don Miguel has prevented Ponu^
" from becoming a colony of Btatil,
by which he has gained a double as-
cendancy over the hearts and mioda ot
his people." (p. 146.) In short, Mr.
Walton says, ." he is ashamed that tbe
Porluguete people should know that,
chattel aa.nDwamntcd and unpro-
voked, vrere ever made within t^
walls of tbe Bfitiifa Hmm of Com.

Mr. Carpenter'* work is a good ele-
mentary book for acquiring a general
knowledge of the literary part of th«
Bible, and inducing itudy of it in that
view. He writes with temper and
judgment, and acquaint* us with mueh
that is valuable ; liut ttjil with • bia*

fcMers that latitudinarian spirit of in-
terpretation which Mr, Bloomtield
ssys (Recensio, Pref. vii.) Is at variance
"with the sound principles of ortho>-
dos Protestantism, and with the letter
and spirit of Scripture in general," We
allude to the ditreipect with which
Mr. Carpenter treats Coromentariet
n that old books are
tood, except b
aid of contemporafy wiitinf^
for instance, is the word xk^c (Rook
xiii. 3) to be comprehended except by
means of profane contemporary au-
thors. Bloomfidd'a admirable "Re-

ledge of the meaning of ihe words and
phrases of the New Testament is not
to be acquired by mere collation of
parallel parages.

illustrate our preceding remarks, as to

iMniea, at best suited their privBie of political malconienlt, and fomc
vicwt; the Crown having this tecret civil wart:
motive, that Popery was more favour-
able to arbitrary than freegoverninentt
for, in reality, Proietiantism does and
mutt depend upon liberty and tolera-
tion. Tne Reformation of Luther ge-
nerated an enthutiatm which enabled
Maurice and tome petty princct of tdvamrln."
Germany to give a warlike character
and energetic action to their tubjecta.
This promised advantages. It em-
boldened them to beard (heir political
luperiort, tnd assume a consequence,
which, under Popery, they could ne-
Ter havB acquired. Wherever, loo, a
meant of gaining new power it exhi-

military power, or corrupting effemi-

Upon tbii principle a model waa made,
exhibited to Mr. F.'i friends, and for-
warded to London, to a gentleman in-
timately acquainted with naval archi-
tecture, bat who never pursued the
anbject, nor returned the model. It
wai not in the way of Mr. Fosbroke't

idea, from a persuation which he rt-
taint to this day*, that ibeie esitts no
phyiical necessity whatever for a vei-
lel siukinu at sea, under ntual cargoes,
unlets indeed it be purpotely loaded
with coali, stotiei, iron, or hard lab-
itanceg, exceeding the buoyancy of iu
dimentions ; against which conte-
quencet there may be precaotiona.
The reason, as tuted to Mr. F. pri-
vately, by naval oHicen of rank, why
any plan of the kind is disconraged,
was, that if cork jackett or life.pre-
servers were usual on ship-board, the
men would be always deserting j nor,
if disresard of wrecK was introduced,
would tney take pains to preserve hit
Majesijf't ships : the fear of death ope-

THE Annuals for the ensDing year ,
have already made their appeataoce ;
and the " Forget Me Nol," the origi-
nal parent of all these beautiful pe-
riodicals, ai usual lakes the 'lead in
priority of publication. Among a hoM
of others inat arose in imilaiioo wia
the "Juvenile Forgel Me Noi," by
M[s. Hall, from which ihis year haa
originaicil ihe above Annual, eutiiled
"Ackermann's Juvenile Forgel Itfe

With respect to the ptf.

hare created a new sera in the annals
of the fine arls. Engraving on steel,
which is com para lir el; or lecent adop-

could, at the utmost, produce no more
than a thousand good impressions j
while the engraver on steel can strike
olT at least ten thousand. The conte-
Juences of this new method have been
iffosed with a suddenness of effect
exceeding, perhaps, those of any other
discovery. This has given an impulse
10 and a taste for the fine arts, which

There are man^ prose compoaitiona
capable of imparting. Paintinp of considerable interest, but all too

price as would place pears in the shape of

expensive articles of luxury, to oe
obtained only by the nobles and the
wealthy of the land. But the tea-

ateel engraving has redoced the finest
specimens of art, secures a sale of al-
most indefinite extent. Indeed, not
one of the Annnals, but for this art of
engraving

most opulent classes. The volume
now sold for l!i. could not be sold for
three or four times the amount. At
the same time, these Annuals give re-
gular employment, in one year alone,
in inore artists than were oi^cupicd
during several years in printing and en-
graving Boydell's Shakspearc Gallery ;
so that here is at once a regular and
permanent employment for nearly all
our eminent arliils, and a difTiiston
of the finest specimens of art al-
most heyond the power of calculation.
This i* a patronage, before which the
pntronage of royally or of academies,

NEXT 10 the " Forget Me Not,"
in age and order of publication, is thi*
el^ant Christmas present. It it no
way inferior in decoration or talent to
iu predecesson; and worthily fills its
high place among the gay family of
Annual). Its embellishments are the
same in number, and coniiat of por-
Iraila, views, and historic and domet-
tic in'cidenit. The frontitpiece is an
exquisite engraving by T. A. Dean, of
Sweet Lyra, with locks of youth, and
sacredinitrumentof song, from a paint-
ing by J. Wood. The countenance is
exprettively afive to tbe " concord ^
■weet sounds," which her delicate fin-
gers elicit from the graceful instru-
ment. The able pencil of J. M. W.
Turner has furnished a Tcry awful
view near Mount VetuTius, with the
bay and (be buildings on the beach.
" Echo," by G. Arnald, A.R.A. is •
pretty picture i and to it the s icw of
Spoleio, the town attacked by Hanni-
bal immediately after the defeat uf the
Ramans at Thrasimcnus, taken by
Capt. Melville Grindlay. Wilkie hM
contributed one subject, " Reading the
Newt,'' but it is not veryslriiiing; and
Leslie, the Scoiliih pictorial historian,
has one pensive story illustnlive of
some lines on tbe anrrows of Queen
Catharine of Arra^on. " Early Sor-
row'' represents a lillle boy wondering
with fear and anxiety at the death of
hit favourite bird. It la from WMtall's
pencil, and hat much truth and force.
The next picture represents " Mary
Queen of Scota presenting her son to
the Commisaionera of me Scottish
Church." It is by J. StephanofF, who
has been more succeuful in his deli-
neations of the serious heads of the
Kiik, than in the beauty of the nr
and criminal Queen. Kidd who Hw
acqaired much reputation as a hu-
mourist, will not gain any thii>g by
" the Masqoende ;'" and Stoitutd doea
not increase his reputation by the
" Spae wife."

The upper windowi of the flank

by an archilrarc springing from a con-
tinued jnipoat. The celling is horU
soDtal. The body of the Chapel has
in the centre a large narallelogEaoi-
thaped panel, surrounded by a series of
square ones, all sunk. The chancel
baa one row of double sunk panela,

A gallerj is creeled across the west

Thii elegant and plMsbg edifice
naj be r^ardcd as one of ihe bett
uecimcni of the wlapUtion of Gre-
cian architeciore to ihe purpoiei of a
Charch. The ground plau ii divided
imo a Dave in the usual form of a pa-
(allelogiam, willi>«tnf)cei at the eait
end, and a aerie* of tobbie* and a por-
lioo at the oppmite extreniilj. The
bod; of the Church i< Dot ditposed
inia rtare and aiiles, the entire area,
with the exception ofs transreiae por-
tion at the weit end, lepataied from
the rest by two pien, bein^ open.
ThcmpenlTuctureig built of a cleao
while bncic wiih atone dreisingt, and
the lower and Dorlico are alao con-
MTUctcd of the latter material. The
we»l front 1) ornamented with a letta-
alyle portico of the Ionian Ionic order,
raiaed oa a flight of iiepi, and covered
with a pedimeDI; in the retorns the
qpiiflei are received on aniie attached
to the wall of Ihe Chuif h, and the
•oraice m lurmounted by a blocking
courae. The main building behind the
portico i* divided into three portions,
t,e. a centre flanked by lobbie*; in the
•cDlrs portioD are three linlelUd en.
trances; ihe principal, which is in the
Biddle, it crowned with an entablature
in which ii inserted a tqnare slab or
tablet, bearing a Calvary crow in relief.
Immediately over this doorway is seen
■ oompoiitioa of sculpture represent-
ing the two tablpi of the Law borne
by an aogel. The ceiling of the por-
tico i* unomamented ; ihe lobbies
have arched windoivs on the fronts,
and are finished in anlit, and in eleva-
lion with an entablalure continued
from the portn:o. At the sides of this
iVoDt, and formins small wings, are
low wall* with false enlrance*, appa-
Tcutly leading to a cemetery, which
give additional breadth and value to
Sic facade. The doors are oak, oroa-
meated with Calvary crosses, and in-
scribed "PER CRUCEM SOLVIUnR,''
and the piers are surinouuied bv urns.
The lower rises from behind the cen-
tre of the portico, from a low attic an-
awcriiw in breadth t» the centra) divi-
sion orihefronii.i( is o»de into two
■toriea, square in plan, and compoted'
of a plinth and luperslructure ; the
lower story is stdid, ornamenied with
ania io groups of three at the angles,
and crowned with a sin^>le entabla-
lure: in each face i> a lintelled open-
ing filled in with weather boards. This
story is surmounted with an attic.
The pedestal of the upper slory it
pierced with the clock dials; and ihe
supenirnciure is open. At the angle*
are piers, each composed of an anta,
and two ailachcd cnlumiii of ihe irre-
gular Coiinthian order of the Tower
of the Winds at Aihens. An eota-
blalure lurmounted by a parapet, or-
namented with a series of small arches,
finishes the elevation. Al the angles,
by way of pinnacles, are square altars
with flames.
The bodyof the Church commences
behind the portion hitherto described.
The mouldmg continued from the at-
tic is applied ai a crowning member
to the wall), CKCeplat the ends, where
the wall rises to a gable, which at this
end are pertly corcealed by the tower.
Each flank cunlaini six lofty well-pr^
portioned windows ; the first from the
west with its piers is a linle in ad-
vance of the rest The piers of all
ttaod out ill relief, and are surmounted'
hy arches turned over all the windows,
ill consequence the monotony arcaied
by dead wall* is avoided, and the good
taste of the architect is further display-
ed by his constructing but one series of '
windows. The sill of each window is
ornamented with a dentil cornice sus-
tained on trusses.
The east front in arrangemeat re^
semhles the western extremity of the
Church; the chancel answering to the
portico. In the end* of the walls of the
Church, and also in the extremity of
the chancel, are blank windows ; the
flanks of the laltei having small arched
lights.
The iNTERioit
Is decorated in a style of elegsnce
rarely met wiih in modern Churches ;
a considerable degiee of ornament b
introduced, but there is nothing su--
periluous or gaudy.
The western, which are the sole en>
trances, communicalfe with lobbies,
which are finished with appropriate
plainness; but the body of the Church

with ideas and feehngs appropriate to

I THINK that curious Ulustration*

furnished, if the readers of your Maga-

mentioned. 1 send you two items,
which cursorily fell into my way, upon
a business search.
KemMe family. I am not a reader
of histrionics, only a spectator, and
deem it a felicity to have seen Mrs.
Siddons perform in all her chief cha-
racters: I am indebted to her for (he
most pure and ilivine "jf gratifications,
intellectual luxury. I have heard it
reported, that her family is Silurian,
and came originally from Lidbrook, a
hamlet in the two p;iTishe* of Ruer-
dean and Enftlish Bichnot, only sepa-
rated from Herefordshire by the river
I have taken the liberty to consider
Vaughlon as only a corruption or mis-
nomer, through ignorance, ufVaugAon,
because I think that such was the fact
It appear* that in case of disient, a
signification of such dissent was ex-
pected, for in the Ruerdean Register ii

KNOWING that yonr Maniin«
h«* a Ttry eitleniire ctTCutalion
aniong the Clergy, I lay before yon th«
following ewcwnntareea of recctit oc-
A y<»Dg Clergyman, whoae clerical
accomplithments and exemplary dii-
watdi two neighbouring Clergymen,
the invitation of certain Uiiaenlert, ad-
drciKd a letter to him, tuting, that
they intended to hold a Bible tocieiy
in nit patith, and deilred bli union
with them. The reply made wM, that
the Biihop of the diocete had paitico-
tarly requested of bis Clergy that they
would not belong to religiou) Mcietiea,
which he, the Dioceun, did not sup-
port ; and alio, that he ihe Clergyoiaii
wai a sabicribcr to the Society for pn>-
moling Christian Knowledge, ufMck
dittribuled Biblei, and wu not nibiect
to the very serious charzei that nad
been btoniht azainit ihe Bible Society.
In tcjolnder, ilieie Clergymen wrote
back *' that were they to attend 10
what their Dioceiant said, they moat
beitraogeVicarjof Bray." The meet-
ing was held and utterly disregarded
by the parochial gentry, who highly
approved of their Clergyman ; but the
result will be, that efibru will not be
wanting by aroai calumnies, to render
him unpopular with his lower parish-
ioners, and thus injure his ministry.
In adjacent pariibei, similar ailcmpta
have been made f and the intruden ia
two market tow[is,'Ihe IncumbenU of
which are digniiaries, have met with
the fallowing oonaeqJencet. In oot
parish, reoommendauons have beer
made to the pailthioaera to leave thel
own Chnrch (the curacy of which 1
filled bva moit worthy, philanthropic,
and diligent young man,) and reaort tc
another, where the Clergyinan wat a
party with the iniruden. That Cler-
gyman thonghi proper to gi'e a fwv*
number c/ Coajtraaiian litkttt to Inc
Other gcDileroab'i parishioners. Coai-
plaint was made of ihete unblr pro-
ceeding!, and an aniwer relnrned,
■pologelic, but unacted upon. At-
tempts to kidnap the parishioners are
still continued, althoagh the offieiatitig
minitler is an exemdary cbaTacter.
In Ihe other nariah, which ia filled
by a worthy Archdeacon, the iniruden
Mgan in the same way, by an invita-
tion to Aim 10 support the Bible So-
ciety. As he il a subaciiber to tin
Christian Knowledge InslKution, n
very much respected, and i mm of abl<
lity, he assembled his parishioners, and
explained his reaaons. The rtsdt wu,
that tbe iniruden were driven not ol
the field.

The crowning and roaster charae of
all may be dismissed with a very slight
notice. Stripped of all ila legal techni-
calities, and special pleading, I can
comprehend in it nothing mora tbaa

could have no prijrale interests to snve,
had refused to eoterlaiD an impeach-

they could not make fifty pouods id

in the year 1751, when the statute* r»>
gulating the cxpendiiare of the So-
ciesy, and Olher mallen, were ftameiL
Having, Sir, thus faithfully, ifbrkfly,
sketched the outlines of those charan
brought a^inst the Society, whieh
evince their own object, and maf
safely be left to their own refiilation,
let me teqtiest your attention to thoae
which may teem more woribv of a ro-
nly — iheimputation of general "worlh-
letsciesa " applied toihe Society's pub-
lications, and the aHertioii that tbe
only useful and proper application of
their funds would be the priniiog of

of ancient chronicles, and deuila vf
household eiipcnditure in earlv times.
Now, although each iDdividnaf may be
disposed, in every human study, to re-
commend and appreciate most highly
that for which his own mind mar
have taken a particular bias, I hold it
the height of illiberality and narrow,
ness of spirit altogether to coodemn
(hose paisuits in nifaers, towards which
we have no inclination ounelvet. I
consider the SocLe(y of Antiquaries of
London associated on no contracted

who compose it, have various favourite
paths in the deld of ArchRol<^j and

*' the natne of Dandie Dinmont was
generally given to b'lm, which Mr. Da-

only saying, while he distinguished
the author by the name applied 10 him
in the county,—' that the Sheriff had
not written aoout him mair than about

The second voluine of the Antiquary
is closed with an interesting note on a
memorable alartn which roused to
erim all the border counties of the
North, during the anticipations of in-
vasion ill 1804.
In the oriatnal Introduction to the
Aniiquary, :
. where the Reformists have wilt,
stood the ruthless fury of papal oppret-
■ion, as in England, the intclleclual
powers of man have been freely deve*

necessarily followed. The struggles

mystery no light is thrown by the new
edition ; though the titlla work we be-

slciswivet is said to have been of real
oecunenee in the case of some silver
■pines, attempted to be set on foot near
Innerleithen by the Earl of T ."
This is, doubtless, an insunce of the
existence of some matters which the
Anthorof Waverley does not at present
feci himself at liberty to lay open j but
we trust he will not omit to commit , ^ , ^
theiniopa[>er,althou£hhe majesteem because the spirit of Popery

are absolutely enchanting. There i*
in each a noble enpanse of sceociy,
a variety of subject ; and the talented
artist has so delifLhlTully exccoied lib

delicacy of loach, that while the pro--

the most minute object is clearly and
distinctly depicted lo the eye; asid

would be unjust, however, to assert
thai the production* of our literary
noblemen are devoid of interest. The
Tcry circumatancc of their coming from
aoch hand*, independently of their
intrinsic merit, must reader them at-
tractire, and we trust they will con-
tinue their anniul supply. The Tra-
gedy, by Sir Waller Scott, is not alto-
gether worthy of his hiah character,
and the publication of this production
of hi* early days is ceriainly more to
the credit of hi* good nature than hi*
fame. Sixly-lhree pages (more than
ane-*ixth of the volume), ought not to
have been occupied by one composition,

undertaking of ihia nature, sa he unite*,
in an eminent flegree, a correct judg<
Diem in the scleciinn of subjects for

-Tiry Fund, founded by (be la(e David
WitliHmt, fur (he relief uf distressed ai
tbori,tbeir widows, and children. M
F. first advocated tbe cause of that b
sievotent Inslltulion at tl

period heard Mr. Fiti-Gerald n
if the beat friends of der tli
ready and eScient advocate of the Inge-'
nioot and gifted, though frequently (be
irritable and ne^ecied author, wbeu op- credit
pressed with misfortune, indigence, and racter,
(a* is too often tbe case] absolute
perlam. Ur. Fid-Gerald was
t attendant u;
painful dotie* of the Committee of tbe
Literary Fund, and for lame years loit
past bad been annually elected, by the
Kratitude of his assoclatet, one of (be
Vice-Preside nU of that interesting loatj-
tution. His annual poemt have usually
been printed in our volumes.
Never was there a rouse more truly
English than that of thia gentleman. Tbe
early impressions of a Fiencb educaiion,
«hich too often gives a bias to (he mind
that ia seldom effaced, never taiixcd bis
opinions with Gallic partiality. On tbe
contrary hia pen seized every opportu-
nity oF proving that hit heart was at
loyal as bis principles were coiittilu-
tlonaL Indeed, this patriotic warmth
of feeling markt all bis poetry. In hia
addresses to the Literary Fund be tel>
dom omitted powerfully to coniran the
id(be"White
Cuckadp." In ihc preface to thia publi-
Mr. Fid-Gerald deservedly takes
o bimaeir for" consistency of cba-
rflcLer, a devoted love to bis country,
unbiassed by party consideration a, and'
an undeviaiing deleatation oF the great-
eat and baiett Tyrant that was ever per-
■niKcd to desolate tbe earth." (See voL

In surveying, then, the wide empire
of Physics, iniiead of arraigning wnen
we do not undenland, we are constant-
ly ready to indulge rather in the mag-

bury, and follow him when he sayi,
" Let us not, my friend, thnt betray
our own ignorance, but consider where
we are, and in what a universe 1 Think
of the many parts of the vast machina
in which we have so little insight, and
of which it is impossible we should
know the ends and uses, — when, in-
stead of seeing the highest ptndaitli,
we see only some lower deck, and are,
in this dark case of flesh, confined even
to the WiJ.and meanest station of the
vessel,*' — "O jlorious Naiurel"' he af-
terwards exclaims, "supremely fairand
sovereignly good 1 O thou imnower-
ing Deity, supreme Creator 1 Thee I
invoke, and Thee alone adore ! Thy
Being is boundless, uniearehable, im-
penetrable I In thy immensity all
thonght ia lost, fancy gives over iti
flight, and weaiied Imagination spends
itself in vain, finding no coast nor li-
mit of this ocean, nor, in the widest
track through which it toara, — one
point yet nearer the circumference
than the first centre whence it parted."
The philosophical Ptolinus, upwards
of sixteen centuries since, [uously soli-
loqnites with a sentiment not alwaya
used by the modern investigator; " As
he who diligently surveys ine heaven^ .
and contemplates the splendour of the
stars, should immediately think upon
and search after their Artificer, so it it
requisite that he who beholds and ad-
miiet the intelligible world, should
diligently inquire after its Author, in-
vestigaling who he is, and where he
resides, and how he produced such an
offspring as intellect, — a son beautiful
andpure.and full of his ineffable Sire."

the boundless survey which the sys-
tem we inhabit presents, a\oni with

IN thecouraeormytDquirict rMpecl-

stance of Three Commemoration Ser-
mans, &c. preached at Halifax, in re-
membrance of Mr. Nathaniel Water-
house, deceased ; wheteunto is added,
an tiitraci from the last Will and Tes-
tament of the taid Mr. Nathaniel Wa-
lerhouie, conuiuine his several gifts
uid donaiions, for piuus and charitable
uses. By William Ainsworth, Idk
Locturer at Si. Pcter'e, Chester;" a
description which supplies another fact
in his history. It is a smalt 12mo,
printed at Yorh in 165U.
The writer speaks of being poor and
neglecieiJ, and has ii>corporaied with
his work, dedicsiions to Sir John Sa-
vile, and alio to Langdale Ininderland
and William Etooker, Jan. Esqra. to
both of whoni he professes nbligaiioa.
It appean by iliii work that he was
in some way connected wiih Natlia-
sicl Waierhpuse, who endowed a
' monthly Lecture, and was in other
way* a great beDefaciot to the parish
oftialifL.
It was probably while he lived at
LightditTe that he published the work

and was living, aged 67i at the Ho-

In 1661 Ainsworth was presented to

IN reply to J. G. K., p. 386, allow
me to observe, that the main ques-
tion is, whether the Roscommon
peerage remained unclaimed for twelve
monihs after the late Earl's death, in
I8I6? if it did, the Crown was ui»-
qiKsiionably entitled to treat it as an
extiitct peerage ; and, at ihe preseiK
Earl was not acknowledged by the
House of Peer* until June 18S8, the
next new extinction, nil. that of Car-
hainnton, ISSp, not having been acted
on, tne whole cue, thus conttdered, i*
without diiTiculty, ',
I suspect, however, that Lord Bloom-
&eld, on presenting hi* ptteni, wm
unable to satisfy the House of Peen
that tbe Roscommon Earldom wasCTCi
in sneh a state of presumed extinction;
tiis Lordship's name does not appear
in the last list of Peers of Ireland, i»
-whom writ* were issued to elect a re-
Peer in the room of tbe
if Erne. The present Earl of
stated, iMumed the
included in the list of Peers, annually
returned by Ulster King at Arms, to
the Caslie of Dublin. That the Crown
did not originally consider Rosco^n-
inon as en extinction, may be Men Iqr
reference to Lord Hotvden'a patent,
the alleged extinctions for which
were the Barony of Callon, 1815 i
the Barony of Sunderlin, iai6; and
Ihe Earldom of Upper Ossory, 1SI8.
Lord Downes's patent followed with
the extinctions of the Earldom of Oul>-
lio, 1880 1 and the Baronies of Tyraw-
ly and Tara, ISSI. It waa reserved
for Lord Bloomfield's patent, to go

THE (bllowing account of the cere-
mony of touching for the Kin^s

ytacy, ififiO." The portion of oor
history to which it belongs, the aclors
concerned in it, the minute patticola-
rtlf of its description, and the roysl
cliquelle ao oslentaliously observed by
an exiled monarch in a republican
iiale, may render it interesting lo^oor
readers. Il may be compared with a
communication which appeared in the
Gentleman's Magazine, dated. June
1774, on the AuncienI Ordre for hai-
loaingt of the Crampe Ringi, where it
is asserted, on the authority of Dr.
Percy, ihat the gift of curing the King's
Evil was claimed byn<
.-.„.., ^.... ._ the Stuarts. The reli-
giout part of the ceremony, which took
place on Sunday, May 30, lG6o, mar
also be compated with the oflice At
the Healitig, in some of the early edi-
tions of the Book of Common Prayer.
The assertion noticed at the end of thi*
narrative, that lo lose the coin append-
ed to the neck of the patient, was to
lose the benefit of the rile, aeema lo
me a mere pretence, invented to ac-
count for some of the many case* of
failure lo which this method of cure
mutt have been liable, if ever, from
the force of an excited imagination, it
could have been at all efficacious in
remoi'ing such a disease as tlie scro-
phula. Emefbldensis.

bejl had powerful effects. It kept the
spirits of darkness from astnuttin;; be-
lievers j it dispelled thundei', and pre-
vented the Devil from molesting either
the chnich or congrefiation, and hence
the bells were rung with due ardour
and devotion, in time of a storm. To
insure these valuable services many,
" dark agea,'' were induced "

intruded myself too far, and shall con-
clude with a few short extracis from
the work to which I have referred.
" While other sports," says the en-
thusiastic eampanologlgt, are " uoac-
companied by melody, nothing can
ytelifa more pleasant aad barmoniona
sound than ei^ht or ten merrv bdlt,
well rung by ringen well skilled and
practised. There have been,'' he con-
tinues, " many noble and inoeniouf
persons that have bren very smbiliovs

in the art, and, moreover, at this time,
to our certain knowledge, there are
several learned and eminent peiMiu,
bulh clergy and laymen, of good es-
tates, ibat are members of several so-
cieties of ringers, inhabiting within
this ciiy, and think themselves veiy
much respected and highly favonrefl,
that they can attain so ^reat a liappi-
nes) and honour. Nor is it less e»*
teemed and admired by foreigners, who
have acknowledged that io all parts,
wherever they have been, the like is
not known ; and therefore they bate
named England ' the ringing couAuy.'

Old Bells have generally inscriptions
detailing their wonderful properties.
We are first informed to what Saints
they ware dedicated, and then we are
reminded of the leas important duties:
" sabbata pango, funera plaugo, so-
lemnia cisngo." - Since we have been
emancipated from the " damoabledoc-
trine and heresy*' of Popery, to be sure
we have no such veneration for bell-
ringing, but there are occasions on
whteh it would be grievously veiatioos; Canterbury, fixed in the clock house

The earliest peal of Be^Is which
we read of was at the Abbey of
Croyland, put up sona after the Con-
quest; it consisted of five, but we are
not acquainted with their weights..
" At the Abbey of St. Peter's, West-

Mr. Urban, Dee. B.
IN p. 409, Mr. Oliver quotes the fol-
lowing passage from p. IA6 of the
first vulume of the Anilq'ujrian Reper-
tory: " I have observed that on moat
of the engraved brau plates laid over
grave-stones, where they represent a
man and hit wife, amoiift ihc mtctntf
onei the lady lukei ibe right hand of
her huthaod ; but in those of mmv
modem date, the husband lies on the
riffbtof ihe wife. 1 have some doubt
whether this Is oniveriallj ihe ax,"
The writer then attributes the chatty
lo the romaniic notions of chivalry
going out of faahion.
I was induced, on reading this note,
to pulil loa kindofteit, by taking the
different dates on the sepulchral braua
given in the " History of Leicester-
shire." Thia I acknowledge ia not de.
ciiive on the queition i, but, imper-
fect at it is, I beg leave to send to yon
the rcsutL Froai a list of eighteen
brasHs, the earliest daie, I3g3, has the
hdy on tbe left hand, and the majoiily
of instance!, thirteen lo five, are on
the same aide. The laiesl date on thf!
right hand, 1643, is onl; forty-fbiu
years earlier than ihe latett on tile left,
las?. It may therefore be doubted
whether ihii assertion is borne oai b*
fact*. '
Was a female of superior rank to her
husband (as in the case of the Duchess
of Exeter, U?^) honoured with ibe
right hand I
Was a female to phced, when ihe
brass was engraved, previous to 1^
deaih of ihe husband I

were imperfect, and tinctured with a

Sir Henry Cromwell, Lord of the

ration of Huntiogdon 40/., the pro-
perty of three witches of Warboys, ar-
raigned, conricted, and executed tt
Huntingdon in I.^gS, for bewitching
the Rve daught'en of Robert Th rock -
morion, Esq. and divers other persons,
with sundrie devilish and grievous tor-

death of the Lady Cromwell ; and thit
gift was presented on the condition
that the Corporation should xllow 40

King James the First enlertained a

craft; but not, as it is said, until he
advanced considetabljr in life, when
be enacted the Statutes against Witch-
craft and Sorcery, and wroleseveral
works upon the subject, particularly

ever, that in the earlier period of hit
life he considered the existence of
Witches to be an illusion, which opi>

iuspccted Witch, wh . was examined

THE peiiod, ai wcU a* ihe manaer,

tliough now aKeKained wiih tolerable
l^rcciiion, wm long concealed Id per-
plexing obtcuiilf. The herald, aa a

Princes, wai linown lo have been an
office! einplofed in ihc earliest agesj
and by a conrusioii of armorial btar-
ingt wiih that and trther deparlmenu
of the Herald's proreMion, tne history
ofblaznnry wu carried back nniil ii be-
came l(Kt in the miits of aniiquiiy.
The Scriptures ruciiish Benealogies,
with which, through the neroic tinea
of Brule, Caiadoc, Gogmagng, aud
tuch like paladin*, a chain was pro-
duced per^t in all its links ffon>
Adam to his living deaccndants. The
Scriptures give the atandanla, or sym-
bols, of the Jewish tribes ; by proi'id'
ing the chicfa of the Golhi and Van-
, dais niih similar insignia, the art of
blazonry was traced to an origin almost
equally pnmtevul. Antiquity being the
main object, antiquity was taken by
(lorm ; while the violent inTasion of
truth was concealed bjp niyiticism. In
thott, the herald'a acicnce, liLe many
others, was guarded by its peculiar
priesthood, who considered their inie-
leal as in a great degree eonsiiling in
myaltry, or whose traditional informa-
lioD afforded little light lo themselves..
By the more rational inquiries of
itiodern times, abnndant proofs have
been developed, that the age when
coat-armories were unknown, is not
to remale as to elude research. The
•rchiteciural antiquary finds no sloriad
shields among those remains which are
llyled Saion or early Normanj the few
memorials we potseu of the seme pe-
ricd in monumenis or seals, exhibit
no such insignia; they are not found
ID the reptrseniaiion of the Norman
invasion of England, preseried in ta-
pestry at BayeuK ; they do not occur
in the coniemporary msamcripti still
' n our librariet.
It is now admilled by the judidoni,
that the art of blatonry cannot esta-
blish an earlier origin than the cru-
sades and loutnami^niE of the twelfth
century, and that the thirteenlh wa*
considerably advanced before it bad
become mddiSed into a syslcm of he~
reditary distinctions. Mr. Nicola*, in

the subject :

though with little of what can be call-

as formed his Collectanea with leM

more reason to complain than Dr. S.
T. Bloomfield, whose " Recensio Sy-

work. As the most receally published
aeiiet of Scripture annotatKHU, it wai#
«ure, would Dr, B. under certain i«-
have objected i

however, marked more than twenty
passazcs as examples of unacknow-

larly pointout the notes on 1 Cor. vi. 2.
The latter, we apprehend, contain a
satiifactoiy elucidation of one of the

plaio that his researches have been ap-
piopriaied and himself left unnoticed.
His name is mentioned more Uhhi

verted commas, the matter present* a
garbled and unsatisfactory appearance.
The reader will scarcely credit that no

the interpobtions. " Mr. Bloomlidd

remarks on expositions of some paa-
«3ges in the earlier part of the New

it is strange that Mr. Carpenter's good

ing the difficuliyas to invoke that Biit

might have passed a century azo, but
will not be tolerated now. Far pre-
ferable surely is the explanation of
Gmlius, Glass, and Dr. Bloomfield,
who suppose here the figure ampt^fica-

paasase under the following caDon
of Dr. Winer. — "When a writw
wishes tu express himself in a general
way, the plural is not unfrequently
uiM, where what is predicated belongs
only lo one subject.'' The leamM

agree nitb Mi. Carpenter, that Mr.
I^mt should have adduced some au-
thcnUcation of his ingenious hypo-
ibeii* concerning the Stnapi, frotn the
worki of Eastern travellen. Perhaps,
however, after ail, it is unnecessary
for the commendable purpose in view.
Every enlightened inierpretei will see
how uncritical it would be to preti so
much aa Mr. Frost doe* on the expres-
sion, " least of all seed.'' It ii surely
enough, if ibe smalltet specie* of mus-
tard sted be among the least of seeds
known in Palaliiui [or it is plain
that the tobacco could not be contem-
plated, because it was not known in
the old Continent till the discovery of
America. And the foxglove wa* pro-
bably not known in Paleiliae. It ia

in the parallel passage of Matthew.

word) of Matthew, «mir xXtHw! ftc
7«>,ovf, it is plain that the senae of
Siiitot must be, " thai which branches
out widely like a tree." Besides, the
siaiemenU of Dr, A. Clarke make it
ceruln that this plant sometimes grows
to at least fifteen feet ; which may well
allow it to be a shelter for birds; and
the xBTfurxnnivi !i laTt kXbJ'iu! auTov
of Matthew is well explained bj the
■OTi Siiiaaiat £«o t^i aidat aimu xo-
rmnn^f of Mark. As to talking of
the impossibility of an annual plant
becoming a ikrub, much less a Irec, it
is too formal an objection to deserre
the least attention. Finally, Mr.
FnMt'a hypotbrsis sceaas to be nega-
tived by ibc word* oim Si ovfoB;,
surely the term >mx- i« only applicable
lo a plant, not to a Irtt. Thai some
properties are common botl. to the
unapu and to the phiftotacea dadteaii'
dra, is therefore ioiuflicienl to etta*
blith Mr. Frost's position.
We had made several more remarks,
on cartful^ looking through that part
of Mr. Carpenier'a volume which
comprehends the New Testament.
Sed mofuim delabuld; our limiii are
already exceeded ; and we shall con-
clude by strongly recommending the
work to the attention of that class of
readers for which it is peculiarly in-
tended, though they must not expect
to iinilcrstand all they shall find in the
volume. Nay, a higher class will pro-
fit far more, indeed we woald coun-
sel Mr. C. in another edition, to occa-
sionally add, in a note, something ez-
planatory of what may be thought too
critical in the text. We would, more^
over, suggest to Mr. Carpenter the pro-
priety of omitting, here and there, a
note of somewhat loo trivial a charac-
ter, and introducing others on those
very numerous passages of acknow-
ledged difficulty, which Mr. Carpen-
ter's narrow limits compelled him to
omit even nolicing. Mr. Carpenter
also might save room by shotteulng
some of the notes, which are occa-
sionally diiierlations, as that on Matt.
xxiv. 3, consisting of thirty pages, and
at Matt. xxvi. ]g, S8, ten pages, &K.
For the present we bid Mr. Car-
penter heartily farewell, and shall be
happy to notice whatever he may next
turn his labours to ; for we suppose it
is long since he may have been able to

That men cannot be made wiser or

such characters as La Roche, the Vi.

but denying, as a good private charac-

daidf Imperial weights and measurei
are now enacted as standards ; but
when the Winchealer bushel of ei^ht
gallons was adopted in one county, and
ibe ten gallon measure in another, then
was the simple indetinite word bushel
the only standard, — a word, and no-
thing but a word. The only reel in-
terpretation of the Bible it its conlem-
forary meaning I that is lost by deduc-
lioni from the bare text ; but having
devoted three whole years to the ex-
clusive study of the most learned and
iltusltalive commentariea of the New
Testament, we can conscientiously say
that it is beau-ideally siiblimet that it
is a lyatein of soul only most beauti-
filUy angelic, and that it is eaemplitied,

Under these convictions, we have
iocurtrd areat obloquy, because wv
bave not tnoaght every party or persoit
professing religion to have a sufficient
iwledge uC Ihe subject, to support
preialion ; we also know that the old
divines are condemned at unworthy of
regard, and that iheolo^ is pronoune-
rd to be utterly unnecessary; and we
alto know that by tueh opinions some
people hank a Jew's vulgar figure for
ai^ reason it lost an Apollo, or Venus i and that Chris-
tiaoily is thus brought into disgrace;
for no ignorant man can claim a right
in be heard upon a professional subject.
Let any one read only Bioomficld and
Whitby, and cnlldte the parallel teali ;
if, then, he has only common honesty
he will see how very absurd it it, that
any man ahould pretend to understand
rpport of the Bible from merely perusing the
llnstralei Uxt, or parallel paiMBeg. We da uol
mean that he ihoula lake parly opi-
nioiis in any way, only canlemporOTii
inlerprela lions ; and if he once tratew
in that road, he will soon discover that
no man is qualified to preach upon a
text who it not able to expound its eo-
ig. Whtn arrived at
he will also see the
, I . inphiloaft-
phical empiricism, and discover that
leal without knowledge has a baneful
operation. In short, every author of
sermons or religious works, should. Id
our judgment, give in such sermons or

his text, and the paraller pattagea.

suggested the side-long eoiraocn of

It haa'been called an Impious at-

reach to heaven ; but, as the ChaldKSna
were ihehrsl asironomera, through the
cleariieas of their aky, and large level
of iheir plains, the term "of reaching
to heaven," might have been merely ■
metaphor, denolitig the use of the
lower, fur an observatory, one put-
pose, according lo our recollection, of
Its Ibundaiion by BeIus. As it was a
Blupendous work, and such things
were formerly erected by impressment
of all the pEO|i!e of several proviucea
[a clrcumsunce which occurs in ihe
hitioiy of ihe Pyramids), a short ex-
tract from Ihe " Picture of Australia"

■•The piety of Dr. Doddridge,"
observes the editor, in a brief sketch
of his ancestor's early life, " had r&-
ceived but little bias from the system

we coatend, a delicate pari, by the
inenioi^ of so ^ood a man, however
the editor's oolions of the cause of
" joyous urbanity," and " religioua
cheerful nest," be forwarded by llie
publicity given to his ancestor's " bill-
ing and cooing," and kiulng and com-
plimenting ; and by the details of hi*

dozen young ladies, with whom, like
many ordinary youths of his age and
temper, he happened to be fascinated.
With regard to the overstrained lan-
guage of comptimeut with which theM
and other letters are filled, making
every due allowanee for an ardent and
aH'cctlonate disposition, and taking the
style of iha tioiea io which he wrote
into the account, still we contend that
Doddridge perpetually violates that
law ofChristian inlegrily ivhich forbid*
nan, and above tdl a minister of the
Gospel, lo administer to the vanity of
his fellow men, or to the mure credu-
lous female* into whose society he may

THE ptaD of this Church ia > nn-
angular figure apiiroaching to ■
P*Talle)raram, ihc four lidea fronting
the cardinal poinu. The tveaiern end
bu a poiiico and lobbies, and ihe
caalein ia increased niih a temi-ellip-.
lical bow in thecentie, beyond which
are vntiiei. The archileciiire of ihc
elevation ahewi two portioot ; the iiiii,
which ii built with atone, comprizes
the portico aj)d steeple; ihe other,
Mrhicn ia constructed of brick, with
tlonc dresiings, conatitutes the bodv of
the Church.
The accompanying engrsTingfP/aJe

gftheitructure, atid fully exhibits the
suBicienily common-plnce character of
ihedMJi^. The portico ia hexaatyle,
of the lljBSus Ionic order. The co-
tiimnt aie raited on a platform ap-
proached by three ttepa, and aintain
an enublature surmounted by a pedi-
ment, the entablature being returned
■long the wall of the lobby behind
the portico, and finishing against the
west front of the body of the Church,
(he portico being surmounted by a
blocking course. On the wail behind
the portico, aie three linlelled en-
irancea, with the tame number of
arched windows above them, which
are walled up to the spring of the
arche*. In the flanks of the lobbies
are alio windows.
A aquare pedestal rises from the roof
behind the centre of the portico,' form-
ing a platform to the steeple, which
i* nearly a copy of that attached to
the same arehiieci's Church at Bry-
anstene-iquare *, the present desiirn
having equally the chimney or patent
shot lower character. The elevation
ii made into two stories, both of
which are circular in plan j the lower

tervals having windows founded upon
a siring course encircling the whole

theantm; the heads are arched, and

crowned with an entablature, the cor-
nice set with Urecian tiles; the second
story has a circular stylobale,' pierced
with four apertures for dials ; the su-
perstructure as the laslstory, excepting
that the anix are made to give place to

The body of the Church rests on a lotv
plinth. It ia divided in elevation by a
string course Into t«o stories, and in
length ia made into three divisions,
the central one having a slight pro-
jection. In the lower story it a terie*
of unsightly, windows, with an use-
leia door in the centre of the south
side. In tlie upper story the windows
are lofty and arched, the heads bound-
ed by architraves tprinjjing from a con-
tinued impost cornice; the upright i»

WE have been favoured by our old
aud much esteemed conespon-
dent. Dr. Latham, of Winchester, with
an account end sketch of the painting
mentioned in p. 2gO; and we are
thence enabled 10 give ihe following
deacription of it.
The screen, of which the paintinfc
was the principal ornament, was of
very UraedimensioiiB, and, before it*
removal, reached up to the high win-
dow, obscured the two line Saion
arches behind, and wu luppoied to be
liille test than a Ion in weighL .The
shape of the surface vrhich the paint-
ing originally 6lled, is that of a church
window, of a rather Sat arch, sur-
rouuded by a moulding, which it or-
namented wilh crockets il inlervali,
and sweeps into a point at the h^d,
which is turmounied fay a finial.
The painting appear* to have beea
arranged infour tier* or compartment*;
of which the first was probably a re-
pieseniation of the Deily sealed in the
clouds; theaecond wasaiowofaDiceUt
the third a row of sainlsi and th«
fourth and lowest the Resurrection.
A coal of paint, in imitation of
marble, the " beautifies lion'' of a
later age, has obscured the upper pic-
lure, and great part of the second, a*
of the nngel* only the legs and the
of »
e of their wings, ■

pairs, each standing on a rouod plat-
form ; ihe^f are all covered with

THR viljjge of Whaplude is situ-
Bled in the divisioti of South
Holland and Wopentake of Elioe, on
the turnpike riud from Spaldina lo
Wisbech ; beiog about six miles from
the fottner place, and sixteen from the
latter. It is a village of great anti-
quity, and in its primitive state was an
exirniive cape or tonsue of Und,
washed by the turrounding waters of
the sea which rushed in ai every tide,
and overflowed the whole irack of this
low coiinliy, excfpt the emineneet (for
hilli there are none), which served as
the retreat of a few fishermen and other
miserable oulcasts, who gathered a pre-
cariout subsittciice in this desolate
watte. The Romansgave the first im-
pulse lo its ioiprovemcnt by throwing
up an immense mound, lopievent the
encmacbmenit of the tide, which
stretches across Whaplode parish, in
its ffigantic course from east to west,
at a hamlet now known by the name
of the "Saracen's Head," and is called
the Roman Bank to this day. But

cated with the sea, the tillage under

received the disltiiciive appclhiion of
Cape-Lobs. This I ihink is a
more feasible eiyuiology than that
which isoflered by SiukVtn, liz. Ca~
pella ad ladam, ■. ^asiam,*— the cha-
pel on the river ; for an ecelesiasiicaf
edifice was erected here very toon after
the Conquest, not merely at ■ chapel,
but a parisli church, and that of verj
tuperior dimensioni and ma^ificence.
Al the Conquest the parish was di-
vided between Eai I Alan and Wido da
Crcdon, except tuch pari as wat retain-
ed by the Crown, and the lands be-
longing to Croyland Abbey, which
esca|)ed confiscation. The advowtoiL
of ine church was presented to the ab-
bot, as an offering, at the rebuilding of
Ihe abbey in 1 1 13, by Alan ihe ton of
Wido de Credon ; and Hush, Bishop
of Lincoln, increased its value by the
grant of certain tithes in Whaplode ia
the same century, which was confirm-
ed by Pope Honorius. King John
exen)pied the parithioners from the
paymeni of lolls al Holbeach Bridge,
which he eiiablished on his fatal maich
from Lynn to Swineshead at the cloae '
of his career. The church wasappr»-
prialed 10 Crnvland Abbey during ihe
abbacy of Ralrde March, who died in
13X1 { and the vicarage was endowed
A.D. tsOS. At this lime Whaplode
had a marliei at the hamlet on the
Roman bank called the Saracen'*

Early in the year 1481 the parish-
ioners of Whaplode made application
to the abbot of Croyland for hit per-

Such has l>ecn the assertion which
for more than two centuries has been
gravely propounded by " the learned,"
and seemingly regarded by others at an
incontrovertible truism. It is almost
impossible to conceive how it could to
long hate imposed upon the common
sense ofany one possrssed of any know-
ledge of languages whatsoever. The
arithmetical figures must necestarilj
exist in every dialect, and may there-
.fore easily be repictented by cypher*.

Syntax — it were impouible for a La-
iiniii to do the same with Tacitus,
however iltiirul he might be.
This then is the operation of the
Chinese characters, and, wonderful to
tay, even ihii seems to bave found ad-
mirers. Dr. Hager, who some twenty
ears ago published a ibin
linese hieroglyphics, men-
tions, ai an ingiance of their use, that

veller on the frontien of Thibet, were
unable to expreis their wants to a
fricndlv priest by word of mouth, but
succeeded in making themseUet intel-
ligible, by writing down their wishes
in these hieroglypnics. Thit Dr. Hager
teems lo consider n a wnnderful proof
of the utilityof the Chinese characters i
but what can more obviously demon-
slraie iheir absurdity and awkwardness? '
Thit friendly prietl must have studied
the hieroglyphics, to be able to under-
tland thcoi) and, having studied ibem,
was yei eompletelT if^norant of the
spoken language of China. Hadhede>
voted hit iime to any other dialect, he

tbey need expend in acquiring root and

Let us now proceed from this "Uni-

bearing the same name, but far dif-
ferent in its objects and iti value.
XXXII. It is universally admitted
that no alphabet now in exisiencc ap-
proaches in the slightest degree lo per-
feciton. They have nearly all tome
letters too many, tnil are all, without
exception, deficient in repretenialivet
of various sounds. The varying value
of the leiiers is also an ohjeciiou anpli.
cable to every alphabet. The ditad-.
vantages of this elate of thing* aic
many, aud of no slight importance.
In comparing vocabularies of unknown
languages, in endeavouring to represent
foreign and unfamiliar sounds, theyaie
fell with irretislible weight. Though
two men may pronounce an Otaheitean
(oand the same, they will seldom spell
it io a similar mauneri and if tbey be
of different oatians, never. The re-
medy it in the hands of tbote who de.

poweiful and the most simple possible,

should haTC been allowed to sleep in

with the Joke of the man who <oa

thai that gentleman used is wrong."
Theae five " thau," one after another,
are taughable enough, but the joke is a
joke only in print. In speaking, the
coninnctLon " thai," and the pronoun
" inat," are clearly distinguishable,
and it is to the disgrace of our ortho-
graphy that they are not equally so in
wrilins. Perhaps the best remedj
would ne, as the vowel in the tatter is
rken by far the clearest, to put a f to
end of the pronoun, and we should
then read *' I say that ihatl ' ihait '
that thalt gentleman used is wrong."

■hit "universal language.'' It is ge-
nerally said, " an assembly of the
learned." What sort of work they
would make of it we may guess, from
the bye-lanauagts they hare already
formed for the various sciences, which
are in almost every instance so deficient
in sense, sound, or any other recom-
mendation, as to be a disgrace to thoae
that use lliem. Any one who has ever
looked into a work on Geology, will
heartily pray to be delivered from such
a nuisance as a language formed by
" the learned."
It has however been regrclled hj
some, that one of the alreadyexistinE
lanaiiages is not chosen for the general
vehicle of information of all kinds.
Bulthlsplan has been already tried with
the Latin, and, ai evety one knowa,
ha* failed. Wtille it was persevered
in, the consequences were by no means
agreeable. In Germany, for instance,
how lamentable was the state of litert-
lure. All learning, all literary amuae-
ment, confined to those who could
spare time to learn ^ dead and difficult
language. And how dolt and apirtt-
iess the hooks that were published-.- -
all as lireless as the idiom thn were
written in — chiefly consistingot com-
mentaries on the ancient Poets, or
unreadable attempts at imitating them,
in which their thoughts aird eipres-
lions were unsparingly pilfered ; no
poets, historians, novelists, or writers
of aiiy kind worth tioiicing. Wheu
the German language was adopted,
how speedily the scene was changed,
how iBpidly a literary excitement pro-
duced among the people, what crowds
of masterpieces loaded the press, till
finally German literature look its place
among the first and fullest in Europe.
And, after all, wttat would be the
nse of an universal language. It would
save " the learned '' the trouble of a
little mote «tud^, at the trifling eX'
pence of depriving every man in £u-
To|ic of the natural vehicle of expre**-
ing his thoughts and feelinn — it would
render those who learned it capable of
perusing every thing published — at the
expence of depriving every thing pub-
lished, of that richness and racmess
which might render it worth perusal.

term " untorlutiate," which he applies
10 himself in the conclusion of his de-

In 1647 he was presented by the
Vicar of Halifax lo the Perpetual In.

held until 1650.
" Samuel Sunderland, Esq.*' ooe of

of a Woollen-draper, in which he was
eminently successful ; and lie was
an Aldeiman, ttnd paid ihe line ex-
empting him from serving the office of
Sberiif. After he had relinquished Ilia
commercial nuriuiti> he resided at
Harden near Bingley ; and died in Feb.
1676, s. p. He was a great benefactor
to public charities in this pan of the
county, and particularly tn the Free
Grammar-school at Hipperhoime, in
this parish, as will appear from Ihe
following inscriptions:

who wu born about the year 479. Hia
t«UnU beiog MMin discovered, he was,
afitf preparatory education at home,
MM to Atbeni to itudy Greek and phi-
losophy. Retnruing v^ung la Rome,
be WM piomoted to the piibcipal di^-
BitieaoF the state; but by the inaehi-
aations of political enemies he was
faMiithcd to Ticinam, now Pavia, in
Italy, where be was put to deilh in
ft36. Dutiog bit eiile he wrote this
eaee lamous work, wbkh has often
been a favourite study for persons in
aStctian, and was translated into
Anglo-Saion bv King Alfred) and
alto by Queen Eliiabeth when a Prhi-
eew and prisoner. Warton, we think,
a^, that Bocthtas was tbe favonriie
Mttboc of the middte age.
ConaideredM a tysiem of philosophy,
it it quite com mon- place and funeral ;
bat even Cicero was itot preoue ; and
(bote it fttore valuable and profound
in tlieTmrk*'ori>, Jahn-
son than in all the moraHits of anit-
qnity. Such aphorisms as — there is no
core ofgrief but time,— where there are
two motives, the ostensible ii not ihe
real one, &c. are not to be found
among theancients. Boethius'i worit
coniisis of querulous mora I izing.of grief
(hat is merely leasing, not destroying.
Of the scienoe of philoaophy he wm
completely jgnorant ; <bt he did not
know itMt iha lore of pteasora and lb«
love or aclioD are the aduaring prhw
CTples of human conduct, md that he
wrote thii book merely paur te'deten-
nuyer. We shall not therefore make
anylongextracis, because all that issub-
Btaniial in Boeihius is to be found in
the reflections of Solomon about the
vanity of all pleasures, though inaay
think with l^rd Byron, that our plea^
tures wovld do wellenough if they had
but duration. He was a good judi;e 1
a Lord among voluptuariet, as well aa
a real Lord t tbeprodigalion ofReniua,
who feasted among bariots, but ale no
hnskt with iwine | the mixed deity,
the Apollo Priipus of profligRte young
men i but, though worshipped as an
idol, nevar consulted aa an oracle.'
Dumiioo, in fact, can be predicaied of
deity only; but while nan hat pasNOHi
be will not exittpite hit detiret;
nor, in Swift'i phra*e, cut off hit feet
to save the co»t of ahoea. Indeed no
waste of time can be more contpicaoat
for its folly than to persuade people
not 10 be happy if the? can, becaote
the ingrediEntt of that bapoinctt ceti-
lilt of vaniiica. We shall thei«fol«
torn to other parts of this book.
Dr. Hicke* has made three dialects
of the Anglo-Saxon, via. (I.) tha Bii.
Immo-Siuetm, ternuniiling with the
Danish settlement in this coontry ; (S.)
the Dvno-Sajmn, subsisting riU the
Norman conquest; (3.) the Ntrman
DanB-Staon, spoken till the lime of
Hen. II. which might be termed Sens'
Saxon. Mr. Cardale contends, that
Dr. Hiekei has unnecessarily multi'
plied the dialects, and thai there are
only two, thejHirc^^'tf-Saxon and the
Dano-Saxoo ; tlic former being nsed
in the southern and western parts- of
England, and the latter in the norihera
pari* and the south of Scotland. Mr.

Accotding to thii definition t*e Gad
icty few words indeed uiitnilaiing
each other ia the Welch and Aoolo-
Saxon ; and it ii plain that the Welch
ii a lealcd language to the English, at
the present day ; and (bat in point of
fact the Britaano-Saaoo, ai used by
Dr. Hickei, implied no more iban the
Saxon used in Britain before the partial
occupation of it by the Danes. Aa lo
ihe Dano-Saxon, there were certainly
many term* derived from those piiatea;
bat after th« Notaum iorasion Mr.
Tyrwhitl says, that though the form of
our language wa» still Saxon, the mat-
ter was in a great meaiure French,
many of the indeclinable parti of
tpeech still rematnine pure Saxon.
After this influx of French came in
another of I^lin j and it jt moat cer-
tain that in interpreting mediRval
Eit^iih after, at least, tlw Iborteenth
centuiy, more aid will be derired from
Coigrav e and the Promptorinm Farvu-
lorum than from Lve, so comipled bad
then become the old vernacular tongue,
though it was, and aiill it, (ar more re-
tained in colloquy than in wnting. In
the seventeenth oentwy ettphnitin aad
pedantry gave onr language a lawdij
character ; but Ihe words in the iraoria-
tion of the Bible are nearly all pore
English of SaioQ ancestry ; to that if
the adulteration was hot partial aix)
limited, this circumstance of the
translation of the Kbie having been
made wiihont any neceasiiy of adopt-
ing CKlraneons words, excited in oa
a desire of ascertaining the catiae.
We took Lye's Diciionaiy (Mannios'a
edition), and counted roughly tbe
number of words under the leuer A,
and did the same with a modem Eng-
lish dictionary. We found that ihtrv
were abotit one thousand more worda
io the former than in the latter;
moreover, it does appear, from Sher-
wood's Dictionary, published in |6M>,
tbat the number of words ia not one-
lliird of the Anglo-Saxon amount, and
not one-half of the present number,
at least so far at concerns the tetter A.
This calculation is made upon too
rude and imperfect a scale, a* imply-
ing a deduction from only one letter,
and the formatioD of lubsuntivea from
piliciples in tag, and from verba by
.the post-fix of er (as the declaimu^
and the declaimfr, from the verb de-
claim), to admit of philosophical or tna-
ihematical conclusions ; but Ihe gene-
ra! inference will remain undispuled,
that the native Saxon has been lopped
and mutilated, though not w hoi It
awaHinaied, by Latin, French, and
even Greek interlopers, who have
murdered three words to give way to
one of their pompons and oonceiled
selves. The innovation hat also ex-
tended to style. That of the present
da; is either Latin or FreiKb, bnl
mostly the former ; there is no toch
thing asanEnglithor Anglo-Saxon atyle
nowexitting. According to oar cnraotT
notices it disappeared with the gradod
eilcniion of classical eductJioo; and
with it have been destroyed innnmer-
able subtlaatives, u those terminating
in nns, for the ton of the Latin and
French; the verb* with a qualifyii^
.« /all baek, for retir* i the

damental pcnilioo of that immortal
monument of learning and geniui, we
cannot bnt maintain that the promiie
or engagement wii but darkly couch-
ed, 10 that it might truly be laid that
"life and immortality were brought
to light by the Goipel."
In the argUMenlttCio ex eeniequenlid
adopted by our Lord, MatL zxii. 31
and 32, and from which Mr. Collt
pleadi, for the admiiiioa of luch like
in/avour qfiiffant bapliim, he remark*
that "none can auppoac our Saviour
ignorant of a nood argument, or the
right way of mipuliug.'' Perhaps it
ii eufficient to aay that the manner of
argumentation wai agreeahle to the
accuitomed method* of the Jewish
docton, who uied to ilightly aUudt to
M in Scripture, and left their
rt to find tne caniequence of any
|)ropoiition, omitting in argumenta-
tion the traniiiioni and concluiiont,
the u*ei and spplicaiiooi. Thii wa*
therefore done by Jeaui xara miyua-
raSam, and wa* a proof of the eoade-
fcmitoB a* well at nltdom of bim who
apake at never raan tpoke.
But to retorn. Mr. Colls proceedt

favour of infant baptism, as also 1 Cor.

Chap. 4 i* occupied wiih an ciami-
nation of Dr. Gale's Reflectioot on
Mr. Wall's History of Infant Baptism,
1711, 8vo; and of Mr. Con's book on
Baptism. The former of ihete it un-
doubtedly the ablest work that has
ever appeared on ihe anlipcdobapiitt
side of the question j and the latter it
ihc moat recent one, 1884, though
many paranngs behind the other in
visonr and acutenett. Now, as Mr.
WaU'a work is allowed lo be
nteily produc
so bad, that even a fir leti
miner than Mr. Colls would expo**
its utter unsoundness. Upon the
whole, we exhort such of onr reader*
ai feel interested in the question, and
are attached lo oirr Church, to care-
fully read Mr. Coils'* book. And
ihete are, we apprehend, few who
will not rise from its perusal better in-
formed on the important point it dis-
cusses. Al the tame lime, vre coun-
sel Mr. Colls to apply himself to tab
prme a work which may prove highly
serviceable in maintaining the Scrip-
tural doctrine of Infant Baptism. Such
improvement it indeed necetiary, ea-

a truism i and therefore we •saume
that when mniic acauired a regular
tune, dancing acqairea also an accord-
ant motion | that is to tay, became
■cienliftc dancing.
Bat ancient dancing certainly did
not imply mere pedal action. It united
brachial and corporeal (i^ilure. It waa
motion set to music, and Delille verj
happily calls " m geitei tin laagage et
tei pat del tableaux," That it wat
indelicate was eonseqnent opon bar-
barous manners. It is now {lorilied,
and is merely a graceful exhibition of
pleasure; and if it be pro-

dence has annexed lo all animal being
the loTC of pleasure, and the lore <?

life woold not be endurable ; and that
the extirpation of innocent pleaauret

Dancing wis also a term applicable
to any kind of motion exceeding a
walk ; to procession as well as iheam-
cat jumping and extravannt attitude ;
for to no other came can be applied the

licate movements of the Asiatic prao-
litioniits, the Bacchanalia, Cordax,
and other familiar exhibitiontof the art.
The original dance among the Ro-
mans, tay* Mr. Blasi*, was the Saltan,
taught liiit by Satios an Arcadian,
whence came the word lallatio. Odr
author it of opinion, that the lallattQ
was very similar to the Italian gro-
letque, which was nearly the same as
our modern tumbling, or the buf-
foonery of our English clowns. Tie
corropiions which had crept iolo the
theatrical exhibilionaofancient Rome,
induced Trajan lo forbid dances en-
tirclv- Some time after that Emperor's
death, they again appeared, but were
accompanied with iKote olMceoiiiet to
which they owed their decline. The

The minuet (sayi Mr. BUtii, p. 43)

Health, strength, activity, and phy-
aical beauty, are connected with danc-
ing, and gymnastics are found neces-
ury to prevent spine coinjilainls and
other conaetjuences of sedentary pur-
tail* in girls' achoola. Captain Cook

Labnur and stage-dancing at pro-

_ THIS very inlemting volume is ■
singular departure frnm a'very preva-
lent practice ; and its aultior may claim
for himself the merit of having said,
where the lemplsiioa to diBuienesi
was great, too little rather than too
much. In a neat octavo volume of
about 350 partes, Mr. Gorham ha*
compressed the biography of the Mar-
tyni, father and son, both of whom
" ill succession and in the tame Uni-
versity,*' adorned the chair appropri-
ated lo their favourite science during
the long period of ninety-three years;
and when it is added that an account
of these eminent men cnnatituter Uie
histofy of Botany during the ei^b-
teenih century, the good taste of ibe
biographer is the more men loHoui.
We call to mind the inflictions of
much of the Biographia Britannica,
the tediouiiicts of a great part of mo-
dern biography, where much labour
has been bestowed on lilile matter, and
feel refreshed by the contrast preteoted
by these modest and well-wiitiea ac-

It hai been observed, that the word

that the dash, long and thort, ha*
nearly devoured colons and lemicolooi^

■to be fluid or solid, and coowitule
jnatter of erery kind, through change*
occaaioned by the altraciion or repuj-
tion, or modificalion of it* parlicles.
irfor instance Man wo* formed out of

the tatter event that he originally wa*
dust; and asinredly ii iijust ai miia-
cdIous for a living intelligent animal to
-undergo luch a iraosrorniation, as for
arj subttance to have variations which
imply other phenomena. To explain
the cnence or«ubs(Btice is impossible,
becante infiniloruBt nulla at an, and
that mailer is divisible ad oifinilum, is
shown by Mr. Higgins on Light (pp.
3, 9). The cause of Motion it either
■not to be known at all, or is incompre-
heniibletyour senses {id. p. 8); but it
M eviilcnt that Substance is powerfully
acted upon by foreign agents i as for
Instance, partLcles of substance are ro-
pelled by heal, which is a solar ema-
natioD, and are aggregated W with-
drawing it. To suppose, besides, that
there can be abstractedly such a thia^
.as a perfect vacuum, B real nothing, is
absurd, and an hypothesis formed only
through our imperfect senses. In
short, we believe thai there ii onljr
one original substance, however modi-
fied, throughout all nature j and that, if
we cannot find out the cause of mo-
tion, we cannot find out the modes of
action in such a substanccj through
defect of faculties.
We have gone inlo these pietnises
because Dr. Arnolt supposes (p. 3)
an ethereal fluid, ^ilincl from' tub-
tUnee, to be causative of pbeaomciaB f
but ne doubt it. W« 1^ oo meaaM
juMipose an aaima mouji, only thac
Bubstancc has properties Tarioualy con-
vertible by laws of providence, wtaidi
of course toiply divine ageacj. ftud
*hat alone. We are led to that o|»i-
the subjection to the same accidenU,
atkl identity of properties in all of theoi,
is to us a piiKkf that their cascnce ii
one and the same, and not distmcu*
which insusceptibility ordecomposilion
can be predicated, except the Alio ighly.
We beg to be understood, as not gpioe
further than opinion f but we thioK
that we are vindicated, more especially
by the following fact, dependent upoD
a common chemical rule. We think,
then, that the bare extraneous action
of an Ethereal fluid ii iniuSicieni to
solve the phenomenon of the creation
of man from dust, because it implies
only a superinduced action, not a
change of one and the same tubstaDce;
but that evidenily does ensue both ia
animals and vegetables; which how-
ever would not, as before observed,
leium to dost, if ihey had origtnallf
been any thing else.
But to the vrork. We d* not IttMiw
a book upon the (uhjeot more satis-

■the very considerable ingenuity of the
author is employed by him for tbe
ueeiiit purpose, as if be was a magidao,

MEDICAL men. s«y the French, do
not believe in the existence of angels,
because they never clissecled any ; that
iatotay, ibey become mateiialisis, be-
cause there ate rorois of being of which
ihey neither have, or can have cog<
niiance. But it is very poor phiio-
•ophy to tuppote that there cannot be
existence without substance. Who can
predicate substantiality of mere Laws
of Nature! In reference to our own
■peciea, the difficulty has been to dis-
cover how oiind acts upon matter.
Mr. Watren CDisquisilion upon Life),
in oui opinion, comes nearest to the
mark, when he attributes, upon well-
founded aniiusi analogies, a power of
galvanic action to mete volition ; so
that every man carries about him a gal-
vanic battery, which the body obeys.
Dr. Prinz has ev ideally a mailer ly
aoaiomical ItnowMge of the human
fnme; but of his conclusions, we ara
bound to say, that ihey neilhei do or
can solve phenomena. He holds reli-
gion to be mere assumption (because
meii have eired concerning it), bat he
does not reflect, that ta he must piecede
every thing else, that the Creator must
precede the created, and that religion

(as we shall soon show) is deduced
from such primary Cfuie, by a natural
inference, and iherefore is a maKer
distinct from physics — but Dr. Pring
makes i( a mere result of fear or diffi-
dence, in the following words :
" The trotb or rCslitj nf this [the Chris-
tiu] diipeuatioD rtels upon the authurilf
of etrtiin alleged hcU or doetiiiKS i if thie
authoricj ii eicepted ■niosl, if these fact*
and ductrinei are thought to bs iacredibte-—
bj all pernru M rrgording Ihem (which, if
practice is a teit of belief, we may suppose
to compriH at least nine-tentht at the
Chiistiaa world] Ihii syilrm intuMt no ml
ebtigatian to taoralib/. 1 will by do meam
denj to this syitem she ffficanj ofa partial
obligation i bat h is ia general extremely
wealc : in other ioslances it is not aclinow-
ledged la any degree, — and perhaps «v*n
this partial efficacjr, chiefly arising from
f^ar aod dlffideoce, will decline, ai i!b« cui-
toms, opinioni, or prejudices, drawn from
the dark ibjat of tntiqulcj, are unsettled
b; the augmenting impnlie nf the hnisan
mind." P. aSfl.
Now we utterly reject the philoso-
phy which assume* what is not from
what Is, viz. that there are no primary
causes, where secondary cause* do not
indicate them, — such philosophiiing
is like thai of the Indian prince who
would not believe thai there was ice
or snow, because he hail never seen
any. If there be a CrejKor distinct
from a created, there may be a science
distinct from physics, which exclu-
sively belong 10 the latter class ; and
if so, the principle of religion pay be.
justly eonsidereil as the germ of that
distinct science. In proof of ihit dis-
tinclive origin, we beg to obaerve, that
limitation, time, andlocalily apply to
physic*, wherea* the allribuies of
Deny (and ihev do not admit of dit-
pole), are infinity, eternity, and omni-
fresence. These allributes form the
jundation of religion ; and therefoTe
it is nol, as Dr. Pting assumes, a mere
ignorant deducliou tram physics, b^•
cause the coniradictory properties of
physic* do not admit of inch a dednc-
lion. According to them, the Deity
himtelf must be finite, temporal, and
local. Dr. Pring, however, is not ihe
first and only medical man, who ha*
allrgalcd that the coat made the tailor.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE.
Tat Proprietors of the Gbntlimam'i Mioazimb have the satubction
of nnnonncing the complelion of the NiNSTT-itiMTH and the commencA-
nient of (he Ohb-Hundrboth Voluui. At the espiratioo of so numf
rerolviDg yesai, they necewarily feel a conscioiu pride on viewing ibe
succeMful result of their labours. Svlvanui Ubbam hai not only accu-
nuilaied a oiass of infonnation more general and extended than any voo-
temporary Magazine conlaint, but he still pcwesses, through the agenqr
of his numerous Friends and Contributors, the most ample resources in
every department of Literature.
The Proprietors experience the highest gratiGcation in appealing to a
long series of volumes for a demoostiation of their Political and Religioui
principles, and their sincere attachment to the venerable Constitution of
their Anceston. In Pouticb they have avoided all Perly-Splrit, and
constantly opposed every species of innovAtion of a Revolutionary ten-
dency. In the genuine spirit of Englishmen, they have embraced (hose
objects only which conduced to the true Interests and Constitution al
SuFPoaT of thbir Couhtbt. The Student now at the Public Schools,
or at the Universities, may therefore be con6dently assured, that Ifae
character of the Gbntlehan's MAOAZtNE, both in Religious and
Political Pbinciples, is well established. — A faithful Report for a
long series of years will be found of the Pbocebdikos in Parliambmt.
originally begun by Mr. Cave and Dr. Johnson ; — with a useful epitome
of the London Gaieties, and an Abstract of Foreign and Uomesttc
Occurrences, collected from the best sources of infonnalion. — In the
Department of the Review of Booksi which forms no small portion of
each Number, the criticisms are neither severe in condemnation, nor
profuse in applause— In these Volumes may he traced (be origin of
many a Local History — a study in which this Country now stands pre>
eminently conspicuous ; and i( was in the Gentleman's Maoazinb that
the plan of a regular OatTUASY (which has been often imitated, but
never equalled), Hrat originated.
From the number and respectability of their Correspondents, the Pro-
prietors sanguinely Batter themselves that they will be enabled, not only
