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. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

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

lo  be  found.  We  know  of  ibcat 
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*. 
ing  higher  than  the  real,  placed  near 
tt^ther,  and  ao  as  to  form  a  imall 
cove  or  cell.  Stukeley  nienliona  ano>

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- 
tiaa  church  wat  erected,  a  little  with- 
out the  mound,  on  the  western  side. 
There  it  nothing  to  show  leAra  it  wat

way  I  think  be  tuLcn  a*  proof  of  a 
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 
it  was  a  Felb-cypc,  intended  for  ilie 
use.  of  the  shepherds  and  the  few  in- 
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 
aouthward.  Il  must  have  been  erected 
by  some  person  of  emtneni  rank, 
perhaps  a  saxon  sovereign,  and  not 
merely  (as  n>ost  of  trie  country 
trhurches  were)  by  tame  lord  of  the 
soil  living  there,  that  he  might  have

but  tiiile  from  dilapidation.  If  any 
Cimrt  Rolls  of  the  eccK-siastical  manor 
now  exist,  ihry  siiould  be  carefully  ex- 
amined ;  and  1  make  no  doubt  thM 
much  very  interesting  matter  mifthi  be 
collected  from  them.  If  tliey  con. 
tsined  no  notices  of  grants  to  th« 
tenants  of  |K>rttons  of  the  stonea,  or  of 
land  within  ihe  area,  tbey  would  at 
least  show  the  number  of  freeholders, 
and  (lerhaps  uf  other  tenants,  and  a 
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-' 
luries.  It  is  manifest  ih:ii  many  of 
the  houses  are  recent  erections  :  aoilM 
of  them  are  certainly  on  new  sites,  and 
even  those  which  are  supposed  to  be

proach along  that  road,  a  Urea  piece 
of  the  mound  prcteiit*  itaeVf  upon

which  may  just  be  discerned  ihe 
ridcel  of  one  or  two  of  (he  houaes

At  a  diaisncp,  the  pinnacles  of  the 
church  tower  are  seen  rising  above  the 


tering  the  inctosute,  foor  of  the  ilooei, 
still  erect,  immediately  present  them- 
tetves,  and  they  appear  to  stand  at  the 
anjjular  points  of  a  rquare.  Tbia, 
however,  la  soon  found  to  be  a  decep- . 
tion,  for  on  going  up  to  them,  ihc 
two  nearni  lo  the  mound  are  found  to 
sund  neur  each  other,  and  llie  oilier 
two  at  a  considerable  dialance.  Those 
nearest  to  the  mound  belonged  lo  the 
great,  or  outer  circle.  I'hey  may  be 
called  flat  stone*  ;  bein^  in  breadth 
about  five  yards,  and  in  thickness 
about  one.  Thry  stand  edge  lo  edge,

to  correapond,  aa  exactly  as  in  bo  rude 
a  work  could  be  expected,  wiih  the 
curve  of  the  ditch  and  mound.  The 
interstice  between  them,  or  what  we 
may  call  the  inier-columniation  of  the 
outer  circle,  is  about  eighl  yania  and  a 
half.  ]  bad  no  meani  of  making  an 
exact  measurement ;  but  this  cnrro 
sponds  well  with  Stulceley'a  account 
of  ihe  number  of  stones  in  ihe  outer 
circle ;  and  perhaps  a  more  accurate 
admeasurement  of  ihe  apace  occupied 
by  these  two  stones,  would  afibrd  drci* 
aive  evidence  of  the  accuracy  ofSluke- 
ley'a  repnri,  that  the  nuniber  of  stones 
in  this  circle  waa  exactly  one  hundred. 
Adrancing  toward  the  other  up- 
righu,  we  see  before  da  tneral  of  the 
houses  which  compose  that  part  of  ihe 
village  which  is  wiihin  the  inclotiire. 
We  find  that  theM  uprights  are  Sat

and  like  them  standinjc  edge  lo  edge. 
We  discover  alao  ihiee  otiier  stones, 
which  have  evidently  once  h<looged

which  remain  in  their  original  po-

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 
made  a  number  of  laborious  experi- 
ments on  gaseous  bodies,  which  be 
afterwards  published  in  his  "  Che- 
mical and  Philosophical  Researches,"

sally well  received  iiv  the  chemical

one  years  of  age.  This  led  to  hit  in- 
troduction to  Count  Rumford ;  and

cipal chemists  of  every  part  of  Europe. 
In  ieo6he  was  appointed  lo  deliver, 
before  the  Royal  Society,  the  Bakerian 
lecture,  in  which  he  displayed  some 
very  interesting  new  agencies  of  elec- 
triciiy,  by  means  of  the  galvanic  appa- 
ratus. Soon  afterwards,  he  made  one  , 
of  the  moat  brilliant  discoveries  of  of  England,  and

on  wliom  his  Royal  Highness  f!Oi>- 
ferted  that  dignity. 

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

Qiinutm,  lill  it  had  entirely 
destroyed  the  expbuiTe  power  of  the 
atmoiphere.  This  diacovety  led  to  a 
moat  important  improvemetU  in  tb« 
lamp,  divested  the  i  fire-damp  of  all  its 
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* 
.  by  pfcseniing  Sir  Humphry 
handsome  service  of  plate  worth 


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- 
tiotu,  supplied  with  air  from  tubes  «r 
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 
Koyal  Academy  of  Sciences  at  Paris* 
in  the  room  of  his  countryman  Watt ; 
and  in  the  course  of  a  fewyears  moat

a  proper  successor,  when  individuals 
of  high  and  even  very  exalted  rank 
were  named  as  candidates.  But  science,

the  oifieu  at  the  basement  in  the

inches  wide,  and  pass  into  the  wetl

are  two  piers  and  two  arches.  The

toweroFEistenin  a  list  of  fortresses  in 
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

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  :

(hat  the  depth  of  the  pole  within  the

calculated  trigonomeirically.  The  dif- 
ference of  latitude  between  the  place 
of  the  pole  on  the  surface,  and  the 
place  where  a  dip  is  taken,  gave  the 
angle  at  the  centre.  The  complement 
of  the  angle  of  the  dip  to  yo°  gave 
the  acute  angle  at  the  circumference-

that  the  difference  between  the  varia-

pass;  and  indeed  many  of  the  moun- 
tains, which  ihey  call  roclirs,  clouds, 
lorrs,  edges,  cops,  heads.  Sic.  are  hardly 
passable,  some  of  them  being  of  ao 
vast  a  height,  that  tn  rauty  weather  I 
hare  frequently  seen  the  tops  of  them 
above  the  clouds.  Those  of  Narrow-

eipices  which  rise  on  either  side  of  il. 
The  irees  I  suppose  are  ihoie  men- 
tioncd  by  Viator,  where  he  says  of  the 
Halt,  "  It  (tands  prettily,  and  here's 
wood  aboat  it  too,  but  so  young,  it 
appears  to  be  of  jout  own  planting ;" 
to  which  Piscator  (Cotton)  replies  in 
the  affinnstivc.  The  house,  bnilt  I 
think  by  the  Bereafords  in  the  iSth 
century,  it  lar^e  and  of  respeetable  ap- 
pearance.  Major's  view  gives  too  mean 
anideaofit.  That  in  Baxter's  second 
edition,  "  Linnell  del.,  Greig  sc."  it 
inach  more  faithful.  The  walls  are 
constrncied  of  coarse  stone,  the  produce 
of  the  neighbourhood ;  the  roof  is  tiled, 
ond  the  chimneys  are  stone.  Over  the 
entrance  is  carved  in  lozenge  the  Be- 
rciford  crest,  a  bear  rampant,  which  ii 
also  painted  in  tome  of  the  window). 
About  80  yards  from  the  front,  we 
posied  through  a  gate  in  a  substantial 
stone  wall  of  recent  erection,  forming 
.the  boundary  of  a  vegetable  garden, 
and  along  >  path,  fenced  on  each  lidi 


fashioned  hall,  havi 
fire-place  of  ample 
mounted  by  anilen,  and  curiously 
carved  work  in  oak.  At  the  opposite 
extremity,  three  steps  lead  into  a  small 
room,  called  the  Green  parlour,  part 
of  which,  pattiiiontd  on,  still  bears 
the  name  of  "  Souire  Cotton's  Study  ■" 
bat  the  state  of  tne  apartment  does  not 
evince  much  veneration  for  his  me- 
mory, the  walls  being  decayed,  and 
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 
anolhct  (light  of  stairs,  or  a  ladder 
rather,  gives  access  to  the  roof,  part  of 
which  is  flat,  and  surrounded  by  liuliu- 


(rades ;  bat  they  are  mnch^decaved, 
and  in  a  tottering  [condition.  The 
view  here  is  remarkably  pleasant.  In 
front,  the  house  is  sheltered  from  the 
Moorland  blast*  by  a  sleep  hill,  and  to 
the  left  by  another,  on  which  are  the 
ruins  of  a  stone  building  called  the 
Temple,  and  here  was  the  bowling- 
green,  to  which,  in  the  second  part  of 
"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 
about  half  way  down,  to  a  dark,  damp 
hole  in  the  rock,  dignified  by  the  title 
of  "  Squire  Cotton's  Grotto,"  a  spot 
which,  in  his  fine  stanzas  on  Retire-

those  well-known  lines,  commencing

induced  him  to  seek  refuge  in  it ;  but 
I  believe  the  "  offence''  he  alludes  to 
was  nothing  more  heinous  than  that  of 
forgetting  to  pay  his  tradesmen's  debts, 
uor  the  "  officers  of  justice  "anything

mentions  thentablighment  of  a  societj 
called  "The  Wallon  and  CottOB 
Club,''  the  members  of  which,  anxioM 
to  do  honour  to  old  Izaak,  have  te^ 
solved  upon  erecting  a  monument  lo 
his  memory!  surely  it  would  n«t  be 
foreign  lo  their  purposes,  if  they  eit- 
deavoured  to  rescue  from  impending 
ruin  an  edifice,  conslrucled  for  his  gra- 
tification, by  a  friend  whom  he  so 
much  valued,  and  in  a  spot  whicli  be 
so  much  loved  ]  "  The  Fishing-Houte

been  described,  but  the  pleasanlnets  of 
the  river,  the  mounlains,  and  meadowa

ney, or  Mr.  Cotton's  father,  were  again 
alive  to  do  it."  Major's  twfo  views  of 
the  Fishing- House,  faithfully  repre- 
sent iis  present  appearance,  with  the 
exception  ihat  several  of  the  surround- 
ing Itee*  have  been  cut  down  since 
they  were  taken.  Thai  in  Bagtter'a 
edition,  Linnell  del.,  Greig  sculp.,  ii, 
I  think,  if  possible,  still  more  accu- 
rate. Some  prints  of  the  Fishingr 
House  include  also  a  distant  prospect 
ofthe  Hall,  bul  this  is  quite  M  variance 
with  correctness,  as  the  intervening 
hill,  before  described,  completely  ex- 
cludes it  from  view.  The  building 
actually  seen  from  the  Fiihing-Houae, 
is  merely  a  barn  at  the  back  of  the 
Hall.

lopemenl  of  the'  iplem  is  (he  firil  en-

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, 

*■  In  tbe  Bndhiit  patriarchs  or  teachers,  ' 
oe  trace  a  line  of  prsaohen  or  muois,  irield- 
iag  ths  melcDipychoiii  ai  a  principle  of 
paver,  and  eihiUting  themselvea  to  us  as 
the  Samaneani  (those  who  had  Tanqnithed 
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.

If  ive  maj  be  permilled  lo  nnder- 
stand  the  Devil's  temptation  of  our 
first  ancesiori  alltgorically,  we  might 
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, 
49,  49,   ti3,   ice.)     If,  therefore. 


P.  4S. 

The  Sackwatle  (or  BudhisI  scheme 
of  the  worlds),  engraved  in  p.  pt,  is  a 
circle,  wilh  concentric  circles  wiihin,* 
and  to  the  boundary  or  outer  great  rock 
circle,  belong  the  sun,  moon,  planen, 
and  stars,  which  are  mythological ly 
deemed  the  palaces  of  the  gods,  ordain- 
ed by  fate  (Uamaia)  lo  give  light  to 
men,  lo  divide  the  day  from  night,  to  .  _.  . 
distinguish  yean,  seasons,  and  months,     consider  the  crime  of  our  first  parents

But  there  were  also  lunar  circles, 
denominated  chakkraia,  of  which  out 
author  gives  ihe  following  account:

we  stiall  find  in  Budliism  an  explana- 
tion, at  least  analogy. 

To  revert  to  Aborj. 

(l)Il  has  in  union  with  it  two  win^s 
or  serpents.  The  famous  Druidical 
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-

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-

be  slaughtered  at  the  dawn  of  day,

THE  character  of  the  preientFai-

in  ipirit  and  taleot.  Indeed,  (here  are 
more  thin  common  exhibition)  of  the

Art.  I.  Rutna,  Tmkoj,  ani  India. 
The  Bni1>ilion  of  Ruuia  it  moat  e1«- 
boraiel;  esposed  in  ao  eiiaj  highly 
poeticized.  But,  admitting  the  ambi- 
tion, we  feel  no  alarm  al  the  power  j 
for  wc  believe  that  in  inch  a  climate 
population  cannot  be  indefinitely  in- 
creased, and  we  know  that  the  inrert* 
tion  of  gunpowder  has  iraoiferred  the 
(ucceis  of  war  from  barbarous  to  civi- 
liied  nations.  This  is  fully  exhibited 
fry  Gibbon.  Par  exempU,  Ruisia 
took  Turkey  for  a  cigar,  which  ihe 
had  merely  to  light,  and  poff  away  in 
•moke  i  but  il  turned  out  to  be  iron, 
which  immediately  became  red-hct, 
and  burned  her  month.  As  to  India, 
a  hot  climate  does  not  suit  bodies  of 
animated  ice.  The  very  march  would 
boil  ihem  into  vapour. 

AitT.Il.  Sumbclitm  and  Mythahgy. 
The  Author  (Creuier)  like  many  others 
h»  thought  that  writers  upon  subjrcia 
bf  antiquity,  have  only  to  ipio  their 
webs,  like  spiders.  The  question  is 
not  discussed  in  a  -  proper,  philoso- 
[thieal  manner,  commencins  with 
mere  saTages,  and  so  proceeding  by 
icale.  After  Banier  and  several  others, 
more  particularly  our  own  Sir  William 
Drnmmond,  Mr.  Creuset's  work  is 
one  of  supererogation,  nay  of  mischief, 
only  pulling  down  housei  to  substitute 
tents.  His  elementary  knowledge  of 
the  subject  is  quite  superficial  ;  and 
were  ii  necessary  we  could  show  it. 

Art.III.  Ktopileck'iLifeandOdn. 
The  lives  of  literati  are  cominonly

Art.  VI.  VotUiire.  The  character 
of  Voltaire  is,  in  our  opinion,  coi^- 
prised  in  very  few  words.  He  was  an 
unprincipled  and  talenied  man  of  th« 
world,  who  was  determined  to  acquire 
a  handsome  independence,  and  being 
a  French  man  of  the  world  (and,  ■■ 
being  French,  a  vain  manj,  fame  also; 
an  adjuDCt  For  which  an  Englishman, 
who  endeavours  to  make  a  fortane, 
doe*  not  care  a  straw.  His  philosophy 
is  made  not  of  metal  but  of  glass, 
which  will  not  bear  a  single  blow  of  a 
hammer.  Hii  poetry  is  an  imitation 
in  puppet-work  of  the  classic*,  wood, 
paint,  and  doll-dresa,  iottead  of  anima- 
tion, toul,  and  muscle.  His  romance 
is  made  op  of  farce  and  sarcasm,  and 
drawn  from  disgmting  views  of  life 
in  a  gsmiog-house,  or  a  brothel.  It 
has  no  beautiful  traits  of  that  sentiment 
and  feeling,  which  forms  so  manvfiiM 
episodes  in  the  epic  of  life.  Kitus

SerFectly  the  many  «imoii»  particular*

the  lisM  wiih  biographieal  anecdotea. 
Much  more,  hoivever,  the  inJuslry  of

With  the  change  of

the  Gentlemen  of  the  Privy-chamber 
expired  ;  its  performaoce  waa  probably 
only  occasional  with  James  and  Wil- 
liam  I  and  on  the  accession  of  another 
female  Sovereign  it  becatrfe  merely  ho- 
norarv,  as  it  has  since  continued. 

With   the  "honour"   ihe   present 

resiors  of  the  office  mutt  be  content; 
we  imagine  they  will  obtain  very 
lii.leofthal"terioos,iraot  mournful

tober  udness,  requires  for  their  lost

ho- 


nest  man  would  wish  to  enjoy;  and, 
notwiihswodiog  the  learned  pleadings

one  of  the  body,  we  cannot  think  it 
can  conduce  either  to  "  the  personal

splendour  of  ihe  kingly  office,"  lo  de- 
icod  by  ill  prerogative  a  ipendihrift  or

mented thai  the  King  has  ceased  lo  rc-

ler  of  GraTCKnd,  Mr.  Jamei  Gilca, 
who  died  g  Dec.  1780,  aged  Ql. 

In  the  church-yard  there  i*  ■  Monc, 
which,  from  itt  form,  hu  appanatlT

■nined  ai  it  wai  b;  the  itanliag  ran 
of  a  bright  Sun,  and  environed  by 
many  a  "  fair  *pot  %o  calm  and 
green."  ThemasKi  ofthade  cootrait-

beaotifully  varied  in  form  and  charac*

which  ttretched  down  the  fine  tlooe 
terminalinK  near  its  amall  white 
church,  about  whose  walla  the  tha- 
dowi  were  ftM  gathering,  gave  a  bold- 
ncu  to  the  icciiery  which  I  have  never 
before  wilnesied. 

Of  Gravctend  I  have  nothing  to 
coiamanicate.  The  adjoioing  pariih 
of  Milton  haa  ita  church,  which  tbrmt 
a  eonapicnoo)  and  picturesque  object 
from  tne  (own.  It  ia  a  imall  plain 
building  with  a  alaied  roof,  and  partly 
covered  with  ivy  on  the  aouth  aide. 
The  interior  ii  neatly  pewed,  but  con- 
taina  tittle  to  iuiereit  the  vititor,  ex- 
cept an  elegant  modrrn  Gothic  altar- 
piece.  The  gallery  front*  have  altcT- 
nately,  with  plain  panels,  a  double 
aquart  of  Gothic  wort,  coniisting  of  a 
quatrefoil  within   a   loienf  "^ 

centre,  and  trefolla  in  tl 
are  four  windowa  of  various  palternt 
on  each  aide.  According  lo  Haated, 
"the  creats  of  the  aevetal  Kinga  of 
England  frqm  Edw.  III.  to  James  I." 
were  formerlj  painted  round  the  walla 
of  thii  church,  but  of  theie  I  saw  no- 
thing. There  are  seven  groina  jutting 
out  on  each  tide  of  the  interior  walls, 
on  twelve  of  which  arc  carved  gro- 
tesque heads,  SQpposcd  by  some,  from 
their  number,  to  be  portraitures  of  the 
apostles,  bat  no  more  like  human  crea- 
ture* than  I  to  Hercules.  Agaiait  the 
wall  at  the  west  end  are  the  Royal 
arm),  in  which  Fiance  and  England, 
quartcTly,  share  the  6nt  and  last  quar- 
ters, llie  inescutcheon  also  .bears  the

especially  the  inscription,  t>iB  tbt 
MonnRiT  (lie),  it  executed  in  a  bun- 
gling  manner. 

Over  a  small    porch  on   the  aouth 
tide,  now  used  at  a  Vestry,  there  is  a

the  chief  part  of  the  Lawrence  pro-

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

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

and  his  brothers  William  and  RobeR

(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

Iher-in-bw  the  Viscount  Welles  had

The  Lawrences  of  Ashton  Hail  be-

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-

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-

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-

Franks  ofjCanipsal  ;  and  at  York  is 
the  will  ofThomas  Lawrence  of  Camp-

be  one  of  the  seveo  ions.  In  two

Tbete  observations  may  be  useful  to 
those  (and  several  there  are)  who  at

that  he  poatessed  venr  aouud  judgmeab

informed  i»  that  "toon  after  Squire 
Cotton's  titne''  his  aunt  was  house. 
keeper  at  the  hall,  then  occupied  by  a 
Mr.  Osborn,  at  which  period  the  fiih- 
ing  house  was  ceiled  and  in  good  con- 
dition ;  and  that  Mr.  O.  being  a  de- 
TOted  angler,  had  a  mattress  there,  for 
the  convenience  of  ileepiri);  near  the 
river,  which  was  raised  or  let  down  b; 
null«7*.  The  hall,  he  added,  now  be- 
longs to  a  Mr.  Jebb,  of  Cliesterfield  in 
Derbjabire,  whose  maiden  sister  long 
resided  (here,  expending  moch  monei/

So  much  for  Beresford  I  Ii  is  one 
of  the  few  mtich  talked -of  spots  which 
realize  all  the  expectations  theit  cele- 
brity may  have  excited,  and  by  thetr 


s  of  the  estate  by  actual  measure-     '<*  *"*•'  •.''"»  by 


e  charms  add  tenfold 
rest  to  the  associations  connected  with 
them.  Whilst!  gazed  npon  its  sceaenr 
(not  without  a  feeling  of  envy  towtu'ib 
the  possessor  of  such  a  "retreat  from

its  |>raisc  came  forcibly  upon  my  recol- 
lection, and  I  mentally  repealed  hit 
lines,  with  an  intense  perception  of 
the  nerfect  truth  as  well  as  beautyof 
the  aeacription :

The  foregoing  ohserrationt  have  been 
put  together  from  rough  notes  made  oa 
the  spot,  without  much  attempt  at  ar- 
rangement, and  without  an^  eodeavonr 


meat ;  and,  secondly,  because  the 
miters  of  Walton  and  Cotton  will  be 
gratified  to  see  that  the  fame  of  their 
fatouriie*  has  penetrated  even  the 
dusky  reeeatesofan  anctioneer's  office:

words  on  the  dale  of  the  buildiog 
when  1  last  saw  it.  Some  ten  years 
since  a  Goth,  by  tome  untoward  chaia

influence  with  his  brethren  in  tho 
Chapter  to  induce  that  body  to  white*

ment,  and  with  a  view  to  compematc 
for  the  lots  of  the  original  paintings  on 
the  groining  of  the  choir,  destroyed  by 
the  whitewash,  the  said  gentleman 
had  the  archivolt  mouldings,  and  all 
the  lines  of  the  building  which  were 
in  relief,  tastefully  coloured  with  yellow 
ochre.  The  name  of  the  perpetrator 
of  this  outrage  on  gooil  taste  and  good

Sir  Lenis  Djve,  Th*t,  if  he  pleawid 
to, bend  out  nis  Lady,  or  an^  *"^ 
women,  he  would  give,  way  to  it.  Sir 
Lewis  ibaDkfnlly  acknowledged  liia 
favour,  seemed  to  incline  to  accept  of 
it,  but  gave  no  poaiiive  aniwer,  ex- 
pressing withallbii  resolution  (tniildier- 
like)  to  hold  out  to  the  last;  but,  under 
favour,  it  was  a  madneue  rather  than 
valour,  seeing  he  despaired  of  reliefi 
and  since  that  he  hath  fell  the  misery 
of  it  by  a  long  imprisooDient  in  the 
Tower.  ■ 

On  the  I4:th,  "after  the  breach  was 
made,  such  was  the  noble  and  merciful! 
dispositiou  o(  the  Gcnerstl,  that  he 
sent  a  third  sutomons  to  surrender  the 
Castle,  or  to  expect  extremity;  which 
drove  the  Governour  into  a  great  pat- 
lion  (which  is  not  hard  to  doe),  in  so 
much  33  he  said  he  would  hang  the 
drum  [drummer];  and  when  the  drum, 
deliTering  hii  message  stoutly,  was  as 
he  thought  sawcy,   he  told  him  he 
must  have  more  manners  in  his  pre< 
sencet,  and  sent  an  answer  to  this  pur- 
po«e.   That  the   language  was  so  far 
differing  from  what  tie  had  formerly,

Uking  with  them  nothing  but  the 
ijuader."  Tbe  blame  of  this  "  fatal 
losa"  does  not  appear  to  have  attached 
to  Sir  Lewis  i  but,  aayi  Lord  Claren- 
doo,  waa  "  with  great  plainness  im- 
pnied  lo  General  Goring  s  want  of  vi-

"All  Dorse  IS  hire,"  says  Clarendon, 
wa«  now  "  entirely  possessed  by  the 
lebela,  tare  only  what  Sir  Lewis  Dyve 
could  protect  by  bis  small  garriton  at 
Sherborne,  and  the  itiand  of  Portland,

until  the  tummerj  when  Sir  Thomas 
Fairfax,  on  returning  from  his  victo-

Sherborne,  and  "  laid  close  liege  lo  it

ation by  AIbd  Earl  oF  Richmond  about 
ihcena  of  the  eleventh  century,  I ■  very 
obscDTc ;  but  this  is  a  caminon  cjrcum- 
tlaoM.  Religious  peraong  were  often 
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- 
ed. Either  way  it  is  not  of  moment, 
the  concern  here  being  the  beautiful 
architectural  remaini.  We  shall  take 
the  plates  in  order. 

Plait  I.  Every  anliquarv  acquaint- 
ed with  the  worts  of  Whiiaker  well 
knows  that,  whatever  may  be  the  praise 


t  his  eminent  talent*,  he 
from  authoritative  upon  archxologit 


subject*.  He  is  too  nigh-bred  a  horse 
10  go  safely  in  harness ; — in  the  lan- 

fuage  of  logicians,  he  aays  too  much. 
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.

It  is  impossible  to  exceed  the  limple 
grace  of  this  Gothic  pattern.  There  is 
precisely  a*  much  ornament  as  should  ' 
be  lo  Bive  relief  to  dead  wall,  and  the 
total  absence  of  the  general  gaudinesa 
of  the  Gothic  is  consistent  with  the

the  plague  of  the  next  reign,  Uivine

is  physical,  and  by  precautions  it  has 
disappeared  from  Europe,  l^e  civil 
war  retnlted  from  faction  and  fanati- 
cism, and  would  have  ensued,  although 
there  had  been  oo  Sunday  sports.  We 
make  this  remark,  we  repeat,  because 


roent  we  conceive  of  Providence,  and

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,

Moreover,  the  love  of  pleasure,  and

Nothing  is  better  known  than  that 
barbarians  cannot  overcome  disciplined

for  they  jeered  him  by  saying,  that 
battle  with  tlicni  would  be  very  dif- 
ferent frotn  that  with  Asiatic  barba-

Mr.  Williama  also  most  ably  vindi-

common  upi/iion  that  he,  ultimately, 
like  Antonv,  became  a  mere  volup-

brandy  never  becomes  humble  wine, 
Alexander's  high  character  was  above 
proof;  and  pleasure  was  only  a  alj 
wine- merchant,  who  diluted,  but  did 

One  thing  we  shall  mention  to  Mr. 
Williams.  Petsepolis  is  not  thought 
to  have  been  destroyed  by  Alexander 
in  the  manner  aupp<^.  The  confla-

character  of  the  latter,  as  being  the

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 
The  Romans,  as  did  ihe  Per- 
Irove  in  the  centre,  but  were 
Immediately  attacked  on  both  flanks 
by  the  wioga,  while  a  force  moving 
upon  their  rear  completed  their  defeat.

We  shall  now  explain  from  Mr. 
Leake  one  great  cause  of  the  failure  of 
the  Persians.  They  depended  upon 
their  cavalry,  and  the  total  de6cieucy

the  Anglo-Saxon  hj]iia,  io  ktar,  i«  in 
ibe  wcsieru  counties  the  Mme  as  htard. 
On  a  trial  for  tnurder,  one  nf  the  wit- 
nesttt  aid,  "I  hired  him,''  meaning 
"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.

of  the  plan  to  criminal  boys,  but  exten- 
sion 10  the  deatiiute,  in  separation,) 
might  be  of  great  advantage  to  the 
country ;  for  let  us  observe,  that  at 
present  a  total  loss  is  tutlaiued,  but 
tbat,  if  partial  failures  ensue,  there  will 
be  some  gain. 

A*  lo  destitute  innocent  boys,  the 
evidence  from  the  Marine  Society  is 
quite  favourable ;  but  as  to  convict 
boys,  it  tuies  objections  to  taking 
them.     (See  p.  IBO.) 

Neveitheless,  it  appears  from  Mr. 
Rota's  evidence  before  given,  that  a 
balance  of  good  has  very  favourable

Mr.  Dyer  thinks  tbat  ibe  plan  must 
be  limited  to  boys,  and  cannot  possi- 
bly be  adopted  with  regard  to  adulu.

adopt),  ai  far  at  he  i*  able,  an  easy 
legibility ;  and  a  similar  opinion  pre- 
vailed in  the  days  of  Shakipeare,  for

they  were   proud,  ,    

set  stalely  hand,  a  formal  thing,  lialf- 
printing;  and  have  made  their  letters 
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* 
ShakspKare  wrote  much  we  apprehend 
of  their  avoca-  that  he  either  used  two  different  handa, 
or  employed  an  amanuensis^  for  he 
hardly  engmied  all  hit  ptay*-*  ThK 
his  thoughts  flowed  fast  is  evident 
su'Ricient,  if  from  his  writings,  and  hit  te*laroeTS

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.

arrangements,  rendered  necessary  by 
the  transition  from  war  to  |>eacc. 
Among  iheae,  a  prominent  place  it 
due  to  the  plan  of  Mr.  Pelham  for  the 
reduction  of  the  interest  on  the  na-

We  may  advert  lo  the  long  and  in»

Imperial  Crown,  by  effecting  his  clcc> 
tiou  as  King  of  the  Romans,  during 
the  life-time  of  the  Emperor  his  father. 
This  point,  which  was  so  long  a  lead-

aspects  and  beariogs,  and  famishea  s

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.

lelten,  u  well  ai  the  Mesuge  of  the 
Hoote  to  the  Kins  on  the  lubjcct. 
Hii  Lordihip  tells  hii  brother,  that, 
"If  yon  knew  how  eaaie  a  puuge  it 
were,  you  would  offer  the  King  lo 
come  over  for  tome  few  dijpg  your 
self ;"  a  hint  which,  ii  will  b«  found. 
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- 
ten 10  ihcQueeo  and  Sir  Lewi*  Dyve, 
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 
that  lay  in  the  moatn  of  the  river,

which,  since  it  conveyed  Sir  Lewi* 
Dyve  into  Holland,  it  returned  to  the 
road  of  Scarborough.  RctolTed  upon 
the  question.  That  Sir  John  Strangc- 
waycs  shall  be  injoined,  to  bring  in  Sir 
Lewi*  Dyve  within  a  month,  aocoid- 
ing  to  hi)  former  engagement.''  * 

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^ 
villief^  under  the  command  of  Sir  L. 
Dyve,  came  toStanion,  near  Owthorpe, 
and  seaichi  Mr.  Needfaam's  house,  wlm 
was  a  ooted  puritaue  in  those  dayea, 
and  a  C<rilonell  in  the  Parliament'a 
service,  and  Governor  of  Leicester- 
They  found  not  him :  for  he  hid  hiin- 
telfe  in  ihegorse.and  soescap'd  them. 
This  house  being  slightly  plundcr'd, 
they  went  to  Hic^ling,  and  pluuder'd 
another  Puritaine  house  there;  and 
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- 
sented 10  the  Order  for  the  inderaoitj 
of  Sir  Samuel  Luke,  and  oth»s,  in 
the  County  of  Bedford,  for  their  en-

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,

well  koown,  were  invented  by  the  dif- 
ferent  tDonasteriei  to  impose  on  the 
Cteduloua,  and  by  that  means  increase 
their  riches.  But  no  Advantage  could 
tccrue  to  the  monka  from  the  forgery 
of  thi*  Btory  of  the  inundation.  For 
my  own  part,  I  regard  the  monkiah

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.

SWANWICH,  or  Swanage,  aa  it  U 
(ometimct  written  and  usually 
pronounced,  it  a  large  and  populous 
Tillage,  aitualed  on  a  very  low  apot  at 
the  touth-eaiiero  extremity  of  the  lale 
of  Purbeck,  near  the  ma^i  of  a  bay 
to  which  it  giret  name.  The  houaca 
arechieflv  of  atone,  but  small  and  low; 
and  are  disposed  in  one  atreet,  about  a 
mile  in  length.  By  the  Population 
return  in  1821,  it  appeared  that  there 
were  then  307  hoosei,  and  1,607  inha< 
bitants.  Of  the  317  families,  forty 
only  were  employed  in  agriculture, 
SI7  in  trade,  manofactures,  or  handl- 
craA  (chiefly  the  stone  quarries),  and 
•illy  were  not  included  in  those  two 
classes.  There  are  upwards  of  alxty 
4)uarties  in  the  pariah,  constantir  worlt-< 
ed.  When  they  were  originally  open- 
ed is  unknown ;  but,  aayi  Hutcnins  the 
county  historian,  "  it  ia  certsin  that 
the  columni  in  Salisbury  Cathedral, 
which  were  finiahed  in  1998,  and  like- 
wiae  the  Hall  at  Winchester,  an  an- 
cient building,  are  made  of  the  stone 
(though  not  DOW  in  ute)  called  Pur- 
be^  marble,  dug  near  the  fort,  at  the 


point  of  land  called  Pevtrel  Poiot, 
that  rDDB  into  the  sea,  and  forms  one 
side  of  Swanwich  Bay."  Be  twee  a

anwich  was  anciently  only  a  cha- 
to  Worth  Maltrarerst  but  wm 
separate  parish  abotit 
1500.  The  Church  (reprtsrUed  a'ls 
Plale  II.)  is  a  apactous  structure,  of 
diaiimilar  atyles  ol  architecture,  havinK 
been  enlatKed  at  various  periods.  It 
constats  of  a  nare,  north  and  sooth 
aile,  chancel,  and  a  lower,  conlainiDg 
a  clock  and  four  bellt.  The  lower  is 
supposed  to  be  an  earlier  erection  thaa 
the  Church,  and  by  popular  tiaditioa 
ia  straiiEel;r  »'''  '■>  have  been  "  built 
before  Christ,"  an  assertion  which,  it 
has  been  remarked,  "  may  probably 
mean  before  the  conTersion  of  the 
Anglo-Saxops  to  Christianity."  It  ia 
an  entire  building  oF  itself,  the  quoins 
at  the  south-east  and  notih-eaal  comers, 
continue  frotn  the  bottom  to  the  top, 
as  if  ii  had  originally  stood  alone.  Id 
compsringitwilh  the  ancient  lowers  of 
Corfe  Castle  (which  is  at  about  five 
miles  distance),  the  same  writer  ob- 
serres,  as  an  argument  for  its  being 
the  older  building,  that, "  though  com- 
posed of  the  same  sort  of  stone,  this

was  through  a  large  arch  in  the  east 
side,  which  now  serves  for  a  paaaage 
into  the  Chnrch.  In  this  side,  and  at 
about  half  way  the  height,  ia  a  Urge 
arched  window.  In  the  u[^r  loft 
are  four  lancet  windowa,  one  on  each 
side,  besides  some  small  apertures  for 
the  admission  of  light  in  eveir  loft. 
There  is  no  ornament  of  any  kind,  so 
that  we  may  conclude  it  was  never  de- 
signed for  a  religioua  kind."  As,  how- 
ever, many  Church  toners  have  no  or- 
nament, ihis  last  argument  cannot  be 
allowed  much  weight.

of  the  Gentleman's  Ma^iine  to

and  the  researchei  of  Geology,  od  b 
grand  compreheDsive  scale,  may  be  said 
10  form  an  iDteiestingbrauch  ol  physics. 
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-

^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- 
Dotheiei, '  "  Phenomena,"  and  "  So- 
lutions,''  which  form  his  other  three 
books,  his  speculative  and  ezcunrive 
assumptions,  and  his  admittirn  the

to  a  greater  weight  in  these  malten 
than  a  prudent  examiner  would  be  riit- 
posed  to  do,  renders  his  work,  although 
one  of  great  interest,  less  valuable  in 
the  eyes  of  the  reader,  than  one  of 
more  facts  and  fewer  opinions.  When

which  they  exercised  themselves.  The 
trinkeit  and  weapons  of  inciaJ,  say  the 
Classical  aiiihora,  were  procurrd  by 
barter.  Among  theariiclcsfound  were 
cones  of  jet  and  amber  (p.  26),  to. 
and  as  they  are  unexplained,  we  shall 
offer  the  presumption  that  they  were 
emblemsof  the  Sua  or  Bclus,  or  Vcnw, 
a  presumption  founded  on  the  follow- 
ing passsfje  in  Mr.  Dodwell's  tireece 
(1.30).  "  In  ibe  Museum  of  Signor 
Procalinda  are  cones  of  Terra  CoUa. 
The  following  iaone : 


These  cones  may  probably  represent

been  represented  under  a  similar  form, 
and  was  hence  termed  '  Alagabatus

The  contents  of  this  book  farniih 
aiiTIicient  materials  for  a  copious  hypo- 
thetical l^ory  of  British  arts  and  man- 
ners ;  but  it  is  to  be  hoped  thai  no 
inch  attempt  will  be  made,  because 
the  irsull  of  such  thini;s  is  only  to 
create  a  bias  and  prepossession  in  respect 
to  matters  which  can  only  be  deciiled 
by  experiment  and  ilaming.

ought  therefore  to  merit  the  patronage

The  parly  objects  will  not,  however,

or  connected  with  (he  county.  These 
are  followed  by  copious  additions  lo

It  waa  in  tb«  year  of  jti  arrival  that

waa  to  endeavour  to  tupply  CoIomI 
Baillie  with  tueh  a  reinfuroement  « 
would  enable  him  to  path  forward  in 
deapite  of  tbe  enemy.  The  detachment

Colonel  Fletcher,  and  ill  main  fiirce  wat  .

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

tbey  thould  not  return  to  aafely  i  and 
under  hia  own  pertonal  ininectioD  be' 
prepared,*itb  coniummale  ability,  a  trap

cordingty,  on  the  lOib  of  September,

unwanly  advanced  into  tbe  very  centta

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

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 
the  army  under  Marqueig  Comwallis. 
He  commanded  a  brigade  of  Sepoys,  and

omitting  none  whoae  portrait  could  be 
found,  either  cut  in  wooil,  or  engraTcd 
in  copper,  from  the  eariiat  that  could 
be  traced,  to  Ihe-time  of  Geoi^  III. ; 
but  another  work  of  the  kind  la  now 
much  wanted.  I  cannot  discoier  any 
Eogliih  portrait  that  ti  engraved  in

of  between  these  two  claiaei  of  men 
ihouid  not  grow  into  an  eTil,  it  his 
been  deemed  expedient  to  limit   the 

Srice  to  be  paid  for  the  uw  of  nionrj : 
*e  per  cent  ii  what  ihe  law  altowt;

for  the  u«e  of  money,  (  Mk  whv  there 
■hoald  not  be  ■  reairictable  valuation

ilruciible;  Wh  are  a  lonrce  of  profit

lliii  would  create  a  great  outcry  among 
all  the  landhohlere;  but  let  Ihem  for

not  any  thing  can  be  more  unjuM,  be- 
cange  it  is  taking  away  the  benefit  from 
the  cultivator  of  hig  own  exeriiona. 
The  cultivator  by  his  abiliiy  and  labour

augmenia  prices ;  it  makes  no  dlflenoce 
in  value ;  the  exchangea  of  value  are 
made  at  the  same  raiio.  The  price  of 
a  day'g  labour,  whether  it  be  two  shil- 
lings or  ten,  does  but  increase  the 
trouble  of  telling  the  money.  The 
labour  is  the  same,  and  la  a  rise  in  1^

building  are  of  American  oak. 

At  the  esitern  end  of  the  hall,  on

The  new  Post  Office  was  (irit  open' 
cd  for  business  on  Wednesday,  sep- 
iember  33,  a  short  lime  before  fire 
o'clock  in  the  morning.  The  improved 
system  enabled  the  inland  officers  to 
tort  and  arrange  the  letters  by  about 
eight  o'clock,  and  at  half-past  eight 
they  were  ready  for  delivery.  In  the 
course  of  the  morning  four  vehicle* 
were  stationed  at  the  back  of  the  Poil- 
Office,  built  after  the  manner  of  the 
Omnibus  (a  new  oblong  vis-a-vis  stage- 
coach, built  on  a  plan  lately  imported 
from  Paris).  In  these  (which  the 
Post  Office  name  Accelerators,)  the 
letter-carriers  havins  to  deliver  letter* 
at  the  west  and  norili-ivestern  parts  of 
the  Metropolis,  took  their  seats  about 
half-pist  eight  o'clock,  two  of  the  car- 
riagei  proceeding  up  the  Stiaud,  and 
Ihe  other  two  up  Holhorn.  Tiiere 
were  about  founeen  letter  carriers  in

had  been  proaecuied  (o  a  sreater  extent 
fay  so  judicioai  a  writer,  hat  patiently 
examined  many  facts  connected  with

likewise,  the  opinions  of  the  author  of 
"  Telluria  Theoria  Sacra,'"  who,  fond 
of  sweeping  hypotheses,  teaches  that,

as  an  author  terms  ii,  places  him  high 
as  an  authority  in  determining  the  i»>

it  will  strike  the  reader  that  the  FirioiM

"  Oriclt^noiy,"  may  be  all  aircuralely 
defined,  without  eliciting  many  truths 
of  generalising  import  U|)on  the  higher 
investigations  of  Geology. 

The  thanks  of  scientific  mankind* 
so  f^r  as  relates  to  Geology,  are  abun-

singular  intelligence,  has  embarked  in

and  precipitates  proceeding  from  the

of  Bnlatuty  tni*  claiin  an  occujon*!

wnich  the  town  it  built,  the  idea  of  a 
■ninialine  Venice  natgnlly  occur*  to 
my  mind.  The  cireninttancei  of  their 
foundation  are  not  dittimilar:  St.  Malo 
grew  out  of  rcino*a)t  from  Sl.  Servan, 
a  town  on  the  coatinental  side  of  the 
pirt,  then  called  Aleth,  which  name  it 
II  nid  to  have  borne  in  the  time  of  the 
Roman*.  The  incursiont  of  piratea 
obliged  the  inhabitants  to  chtMse  a 
•aferspot,  which  this  rock  furnithed. 
Il  receired  it*  pretant  name  from  Malo, 
an  etxlMiastic  of  insular  Britain,  who 
umcniioned  in  M liner's  Church  His- 
tory ;  but  I  must  obierre  that  he  has 
eoofourtded  the  twotowns,  OldSt.Scr- 
«an  (till  Yetains  the  name  of  La  CUi. 

St.  Malo  il  joined  to  the  main  land 
by  a  magnilicem  ttone  causevray ;  its 
appearance  at  high  wattr  is  compared 
toashipalanchor,  of  which  the  cause-

hat  a  reference  to  facta  or  not,  I  cannot 
pretend  to  say. 

The  fortificBitoni  of  Ihe  town-,  whidi 
are  exl^mely  grand,  were  bailt  after 
the  platis  of  Vaoban,  al  the  cloie  of 
the  teventeeoth  century.  Part  of  the

has  ilie  advantage  of  being  a  I  way  t  dir,

On  the  HHith  *ide  or  the  chancel  ia 
tn  altar  tooib,  bearing  the  date  of 
1616;  on  it  are  the  effigies  of  four 
women  inil  a  man,  but  the  inxription

box  of  pa  pen,  among  which  was  a  grant 
of  forty  aajs  indulgence,  from  Bishop 
Lacy,  to  all  those  who  should  in  any 
way  assist  in  rebuilding  the  church  of 
Totnrs.  This  prelate  was  translated 
froin  Herefonl  to  Exeter  it)  1420;  he 
died  in  1445,  and  was  buried  in  the 
choir  of  Exeter  Cathedral.  From  hil 
reputed  holiness,  pilgrimages  were  per- 
formed at  his  tomb,  and  many  miracle* 
are  said  to  have  been  wrought  there.

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

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: 
but  this  last  claute  is  not  exactly  borne 
out  by  fact,  and  the  reason  is,  that  the 
Grammar  abounds  with  such  gtaiins 
•ini  against  tbe  genius  of  the  langusn 
that  the  writer  of  Latin  is  cramjicd  in 
every  sentence  he  attempts  to  pen,  by 
the  paltry,  but  aoi  for  that  less  power- 
ful reitricilon  of  the  delects  of  the  de-

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, 
and  which  Mr.  Arthur  CIlHbrd,  wTio

very  "uphill  work."

The  nominative  maaculine  plural 
the  same  as  the  Bcuitive  masculine,

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

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

is  hardly  proper.  They  ought  to  be 
called  '  Deliveries'  of  the  work*  of

as  well  to  caution  those  who  are  for-

New  Rom,  Co.  Wexrord,  Jin.  S,  l677, 
was  twice  married,  and  had  one  son, 
yi\io  died  an  iahal,  and  five  daughters. 
Thii  Lewii  appear*  b^  the  Bromhanri 
icgiitcr  to  have  been  living  there  from 
i;00  to  170S,  but  JE  waa  about  the 
latter  year  that  he  lold  the  old  family 
eeiate  to  Sir  Thomas  Trevor. 

John,  the  ynungeit  son  of  Sir  Lewis 
Dyve,  wBi  married  April  «g,  1673,  at 
St.  Chad's,  Lichlield,  to  Frances,  third 
daughter  of  Sir  Robert  Wol»ele;,  the 
first  Baronet  of  Wolieley  in  Stafford- 
ihire.  He  was  appoiniMl  one  ol  the 
Clerkf  of  the  Privy  Council  in  l6gi. 
(Jones'slndex.)  He  died  in  1692,  and 
wu  buried  in  Sl  James's,  \^'esimini- 
ter,  as  was  his  widow  Francet,  who 
died  in  17OS.  By  that  lady  he  had 
John  his  successor,  another  son  named 
Lewis,  *  and  a  daughter  Charlotte, 
who  was  married  to  Robert  Lord  Sun- 
don,  and  died  chiidleu  Jan.  1,  I74I-2. 
His  Lordship  (when  Mr.  Clayton)  was 
one  of  the  executors  to  the  will  of  the 


borough.  His  wife  was  the  friend  and 
correipoodent  of  Sarah,  Diichess  of 
Marlborough,  and  enjoyed  Ihe  confi- 
dence of  Queen  CaroUne.  There  arc

17S8  by  Mr*.  C.  to  Dr.  Freind,  the 
celebrated  physician,  who  had  attend- 
ed Mr.  Clayton  in  a  dangerous  illness. 
There  is  al&o  a  wholeleagth  portrait 
of  Lady  Sundon  on  Lord  Ilcheiter's 
staircase  at  Melbury. 

The  succeeding  John  Oiref  married 
Dorothy,  daughter  and  heiress  ofWal- 
tcf  Aston,  of  Millwich  In  Staffordshire, 
etq.  greal>uncle  of  the  sixth,  seventh, 
■nd  eighth  Lord*  Aston  of  Forfar. 
Thia  Mr.  Dire  %  died  at  a  very  ad- 
nnced  age,  Jan.  85,  1769,  at  bis 
house  in  Queen-square,  Westminster. 
He  led  issue  a  ton  John,  and  a  daugh- 
ter Charlotte,  who,  having  been  a 
Maid  of  Honour  to  the  Princess  of 
Wales,    became,   Feb.  4,    1762,   the 


teeond  wife  of  Samuel  secood  and 
last  Lord  Mathani;  she  died  without 
issue  May  £1,  I773>  aged  61 ;  and  b 
buried  in  the  church-yard  of  Larer 
near  Ongar  in  Essex. 

The  third  John  Dire  (then  a  Cap- 
tain in  the  Guards,)  married  in  17S7 
Anne  Dorothy  Montgomery^  by  whom 
be  had  two  ions,  who  died  without 
issue;  and  a  dauFthler  Charlotte,  mar- 
ried in  1759  to  John  Edmondes,  esq. 
whose  daughter  Charlotte  became  the 
wife  of  Llewelltn  Traheme,  cs(^.  and

It  is,  therefore,  plain  that  the  Somer- 
■etthire  coast  was  guarded  moat  strong- 
ly ^injt  the  invasion  of  the  Silurea, 
and  that  it  was  cultivated  and  civiliiea 
Qarr.  Mno.  OeUber,  I8S9. 


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. 
ii.  610}  we  have  shown  this  by  full  de^ 


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,

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

all  events,  if  the  surface  of  the  present

there  is  another  very  important  circnm-

that  aubmerged  bodies  sink  only  so  lar 
as  specific  gravity  will  allow,  and  no 
farther.  Many  laden  shi|)s  which

^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. 
moot."    P.  147.

Pauf  the  Hermit,  Boulhillier  de  h

iherefofe,  in  our  own  private  opinion, 
do  not  attend  to  any  inlerpretationt  of 
Scripture  which  are  at  variance  with 
the.Iawa  and  acts  of  Providence;  for  it 
it  absurd  to  oppose  the  word  of  God  to 
his  works.  Indeed  it  is  a  mott  certain 
modeoffamlihiuK  infidelity  with  wca- 
pool  of  derence.  We  ate  positivciv  a*-

Mr.  Carpenter'*  work  is  a  good  ele-

"with  the  sound  principles  of  ortho>-

allude  to  the  ditreipect  with  which 
Mr.  Carpenter    treats    Coromentariet 

n  that  old  books  are

means  of  profane  contemporary  au-

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

That  Voluire  and  hit  cttadjntor* 
utterly  demoliihed  the  political  iaSa*

The  following  extracts  will  tend  to 
illustrate  our  preceding  remarks,  as  to 


intmrporaled  ivilh  the  part 
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- 
bited to  the  people,  they  will  palro- 
aiie  it  if  they  can,  and  nolhinz  but 
military  power,  or  corrupting  effemi-

and  whatever  might  aid  the  buoyancy. 
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 
punuiti;  he  had  merely  started  the 
idea,  from  a  persuation  which  he  rt- 
taint  to  this  day*,  that  ibeie  esitts  no 
phyiical  necessity  whatever  for  a  vei-

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- 
rating in  favour  of  the  icrvice,  in  the 
two  respects  mentioned.

THE  Annuals  for  the  ensDing  year  , 
have  already  made  their  appeataoce  ; 
and  the  "  Forget  Me  Nol,"  the  origi-

riodicals, ai  usual  lakes  the  'lead  in 
priority  of  publication.  Among  a  hoM

With  respect  to  the  ptf. 


orourcountrymen, 
hare  created  a  new  sera  in  the  annals 
of  the  fine  arls.  Engraving  on  steel, 
which  is  com  para  lir  el;  or  lecent  adop- 
tion, hat  maieriallv  contributed  to  the 
diffusion  of  these  beautirul  specimens 

of  ^Dius  and  art.     For  the  muliipli-  ^  

cation  of  copies  it  is  guperiot  to  every  ^et  Me  Not,"  the  etnbellishmenti  and

Wood  engravings  are  generally  too  same  excellent  standard  as  heretofore, 
coarse  and  imperrect,  to  pourtraj  na-  the  majority  of  thetn  being  by  the  same

and  delicacy ;  lithography  is  too  apt  task  to  particularize  ;  but  the  engrav-

o  fail  in  its inlended  effect;  and  copper 
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

the  "  Death  of  the  Dove,"  by  Steward,

There  are  man^  prose  compoaitiona 


capable  of  imparting.     Paintinp     of  considerable    interest,   but  all   too

price  as  would  place     pears  in  the  shape  of 


and  engravings  were  formerly 
expensive  articles  of  luxury,  to  oe 
obtained  only  by  the  nobles  and  the 
wealthy  of  the  land.  But  the  tea- 
lOnableness  of  the  price,  to  which 
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 

il  beyond  the  reach  of  ony  but  the 
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

pntronage  of  royally  or  of  academies, 
however  munificent,  sinks  into  insig-

have  now  an  instromem  of  power  in

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."

vid  Wilkie,  is  illosirated  by  a  faUe 
written  by  the  Rev.  W.  Wilkie.  D.D. 
Leslie  is  a  clever  artist,  full  of  feeling 
and  truth,  and  his  "Sisters  of  B»>

iweet  Italian  scene  by  Williams:  and 
so  is  the  "Mandoline,"  with  Naplet

Among  the  poetical  writers  are,  Al- 
lan Cunningham,  Mrs.  Opie,  Mn. 
Hemans,  Thomas  Pt ingle,  the  Hitrick 
Shepherd,  and  Bernard  Banon.  The 
lay  of  the  Martyrs  is  a  be auliful  simple 
ballad  of  the  Covenant  times.  Mary 
Howiii's  "Old  Man's  Story"  is  very 
pathelici  and  llie  whole  •:  f  the  collec. 
tion  boasts  respeciabilily,  though  not 
much  of  power  or  force. 

The  prose  tales  and  communications 
exhibit  mote  talent  than  the  poetical 
productions.  Amoiig  the  initructive 
papers  are  two  by  Dr.  Walsh  ;  rrom 
whose  valuable  paper  last  year  -we 
made  several  extracts.  One  of  them 
is  an  enquiry  into  the  question,  "  Are 
there  more  inhabited  worlds  than  our 
globe?"  And  the  other  is  on  "the 
first  invasinn  of  Ireland  j  and  an  ac- 
count of  the  Irish  Hercutaneum,'' ,or 
the  town  of  Bannow,  destroyed  by  toe

The  upper  windowi  of  the  flank 
walla  ere  iiched ;  the  heads  are  bounded 
by  an  archilrarc  springing  from  a  con-

in  the  centre  a  large  narallelogEaoi-

square  ones,  all  sunk.  The  chancel 
baa  one  row  of  double  sunk  panela, 
containing  flowecs. 

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

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

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

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 
la  calculated  to  impress  the  spectator 
with  ideas  and  feehngs  appropriate  to 
the  sacred  and  august  characier  of  the 
ed!fie«.  and  forms  a  splendid  exception

I  THINK  that  curious  Ulustration* 
of  lost  biography,  history,  genea- 
logy, and  ancient  manners,  miaSii  be 
furnished,  if  the  readers  of  your  Maga- 
line  among  the  Clergy  would  contri- 
bute such  extracts  from  their  Regii- 
len,  as  bear  opon  any  of  the  points 
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

Mr.  Umab.  Noj,.  a. 

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.

Henry  VI.  was  not  a  year  old  when

A  truce  was  concluded  between 
England  and  France  in  1444,  after  an 
almost  nn interrupted  war  of  ig  yeart. 

Tbe  war  broke  out  again  in  1449, 
in  which  war  the  armt  oF  England 
weic  very  unsucceiaful ;  for,  before  the 
cod  of  the  year  1463,  only  Calais  and 
Guitnet  remained  in  tbe  potsestion  of 
the  English,  of  all  the  towns  and 
provinoci  of  France  which  they  had 
conquered,  or  potseited  by  hereditary 
right. 

The  civil  wan  between  the  Hootes 
of  York  and  Lancaster,  which  com- 
menced in  1453,  occaiioiied  a  division 
of  the  Naval  foto:  of  the  kingdom  be-

naval  action  of  any  consequence  oc- 
curred (luring  thit  reign.

ticularly  to  notice  the  paaMgei  iniend- 
cd  for  |{oo(l  jokes  and  keen  shafts  of 
ridicule,  I  ihall  etideavour,  after  a  few 
(mrsory  obserralions,  lo  grapple  with 
him  on  the  charge  of  that  utter  inuti- 
lity and  "  worihles«ne»»,''  which  he 
thinks  proper  to  bring  agaiost  the  So- 
eiety't  pabMcationt,  and  also  to  show, 
by  nls  own  lugzestioDS  for  the  preptr 
application  of  ine  fundi  of  the  Society 
(uthercd  iti  ai  they  are  with  all  the 
pomp  of  high  ptetension  to  ditcrimi- 
nation),  on  how  narmw  ■  conception 
and  illiberal  *  principle  hit  system  of 
reform  it  founded. 

Let  roe  drat,  therefore,  Mr.  Urban, 
digroin,  with  as  sltshl  a  teoapiinlation 
a*  may  be,  the  fallowing  accusation*. 
Imprimis,  the  hrary  charge  that  the 
President  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries 
wear)  a  coektd  hat,  when  ■  newly- 
clected  member  ii  admitted  with  the

Ihe  Bishops  for  their  lawn  sleevrs,  the 
Judges  for  their  wigi,  or  the  Minliters

and  until  such  shnll  be  seriously  enter- 
tained, perhaps  the  President  of  the 
Society  of  Antiquaries  may  continue 
to  uie  [his  mark  of  office,  without  in- 
curring a  general  laugh  at  his  extiava- 

Ilenj.  The  Tcry  merry,  but,  J  ima- 
gine, hyperbolical  asseilion,  that  on 
the  nights  of  meeting  the  member* 
may  be  seen  "  dancing  oter  old  (lew- 
pans  and  broken  bottles!" 

Item.  The  more  veracious,  and  con- 
sequently, I  suppose,  the  more  serious 
indictment,  telling  forth,  that  during 
their  last  session,  they  thought  proper 
to  adopt  the  custom  of  the  Royal  So.

their  eternal  shame/'  on  the  breaking 
up  of  the  weekly  evening  meeting, 
the  refreshment  of  tea  and  coffee  in 
■heir  meeting  room.  To  which  nr 
added,  moreover,  in  a  pointed  insiOtf- 
ation,  that,  as  one  of  the  Vice-Presi- 
deuis  of  the  Society  had  weMuted 
them  at  his  own  coat  with  plate,  por- 
celain, and  other  necessary  ip^udagea 
of  a  tea-table  for  these  iKz^sions,  no 
should  be  deservedly  enrolled  with  hia 
c»nfreTtt  in  the  class  of  old  women  1 

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 
thu,  (hal  the  Society  of  Antiljua 


could  have  no  prijrale  interests  to  snve, 
had  refused  to  eoterlaiD  an  impeach- 
ment against  them  on  the  ground  that 
they  could  not  make  fifty  pouods  id 
the  year  1827,  go  as  far  as  fifty  pouDtk 
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 
inedited  historical  MSS.,  transIatiOBa 
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 
scale  of  policy)  that  ihe  seven  hundred 
generally  highly  respectable  individuals 
who  compose  it,  have  various  favourite 
paths  in  the  deld  of  ArchRol<^j  and 
that  all  are  benefioial  contiibutors  in

strictly  clatted  under  the  denomina- 
tion of  Gothic,  whether  it  be  of  the 
chaste  and  Saracenic  mode  of  the  tbir-

in  the  haate  of  the  critic  to  get  rid  of

should  be  the  first  qualification  for  his

In  the  following  volume  (the  twenty. 
first)  we  have  t  very  curious  accoont 
of  the  finding  of  some  square  piece*  of 
silver,  the  coin  of  an  unknown  a^  and 
people,  in  certain  tumoli  exisiinK  in 
th'eaouthern  extremity  of  India.  Tbae 
mounds,  says  the  account,  occur  nu- 
merously in  the  povince  of  Coimba- 
toor,  and  are  invariably  denoted  by  «

parties  for  the  purpose  of  fighiiogon 
It,  and  it  is  singular  that  this  spot  near 
the  Toad  side,  surrounded  by  a  little 
enclosure,  remains  unclaimed  lo  this 
day. 

Surely  a  notice  and  discovery  like 
the  above,  connected  with  so  remark- 
able a  passage  in  the  annals  of  duel, 
cannot  be  of  thai  soporiRc  quality 
which  the  writer  to  whose  ohaerva- 
rions  I  reply  would  persuade  us. 

This  volume  also  eonuins  some  cu- 
rious observations  on  the  population  of 
England  in  the  Slsi  year  of  the  reign 
of  Edward  ihe  Third,  by  which  it  ap- 
pears that  the  disproportion  betiveen 
the  popolaliun  of  that  ilnie  end  the 
pteseni  day  was  so  great,  that  London 
did  not  contain  more  than  35,000  in-

The  original  of  Meg  Merriliet  was 
Jean  Gordon,  a  gipsy  of  the  Cheviot 
Hill*,  who  on  account  of  her  Jacobite 
pcrtitica  was  ducked  to  death  by  a  Cat- 
Inle  mob  in  1746 ;  ilie  prototype  of  her 
person  was  Madge  Gordon,  uie  giaod- 
oBDghtrr  of  Jean,  of  whom  the  author 


has  such  a  shadowy  recolIectioD  as  Dr. 
Johnson  had  of  Queen  Anne. 

The  generous  trails  in  the  behaviour 
of  Dominie  Sampson,  were  actually 
exhibiled  by  a  tutor  in  the  family  of  a 
decayed  Laird,  but  whose  Dame  is  not 
given. 

The  outline  of  the  description  of  EU 
langowan,  the  situation,  and  the  ruins, 
were  derived  from  "  the  noble  remains 
of  CarUretock  Castle,  six  or  seven 
miles  from  Dumfries,"-^ihe  scene  of 
that  siege,  the  commemoration  of 
which  by  a  contemporary  ])oei,  ii  a  va- 
luable document  to  the  heraldic  anti- 
quary*. The  present  Cast  1e,  10  pictu- 
resquely dcsctibed  by  the  novelist,  ii, 
however,  only  (he  successor  of  that 
which  then  braved  the  attack  of  our 
first  Edward. 

The  chatacler  of  Dandie  Dinmont, 
although  drawn  from  no  individual, 
was  popularly  Rxed  on  the  late  Mr. 
James  Davidson,  of  Hindlee,  a  tenant 
of  Lord  Douglas.  Of  this  respectable 
Tcprescntalive  of  the  class  of  stout  Lid* 
desdale  yeomen,  some  enienaining 
anecdote*  are  recited.  It  appear*  that 
*'  the  natne  of  Dandie  Dinmont  was 
generally  given  to  b'lm,  which  Mr.  Da- 
vidson received  with  great  good  humour, 
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 
other  folk,  but  only  about  hii  dogs'." 
This,  it  seems,  was  the  trnth)  and  m 
much  to  the  pnrpoie  were  his  dogs  re- 
commended to  notice,  that  "  the  race 
of  Pepper  and  Mustard  are  in  ihe 
highest  estimation  at  this  day,  not  only 
for  vermin-killing,  but  for  intelligenc« 
and  fidelity.  Those  who,  like  the  lu- 
thor,  possess  a  brace  of  them,  consider 
theni  a*  very  desirable  companions.'' 

The  anecdote  ipid  by  Mr.  PIcydell, 
of  bis  sitting  down  in  the  midst  of  a 
revel  to  draw  an  appeal. case,  belong* 
to  the  elder  President  Dundai  of  Ar-

ville. With  a  Plevdell  of  real  life  we 
are  not  favoured,  tt'may  be  mention- 
ed, by  the  way,  that  in  1822  an  inge- 
nious little  book  was  publuhed  at  Edin- 
bursh,  under  the  tiife  of  "  IlluiiratioD* 
of  the  Author  of  Waverley,"  in  which

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* 
loped,  and  religious  toleration,  political 
freedom,  and  national  tu peri oriiy,  have 
necessarily  followed.  The  struggles 
between  Popery  and  Protestantism  in 
England,  at  the  dawn  of  the  Reforma-

fad  of  actual  occmrtnct."  On  this 
mystery  no  light  is  thrown  by  the  new 
edition  ;  though  the  titlla  work  we  be- 
fore qooted  says,  "  the  fraud  of  I>on-

oecunenee  in  the  case  of  some  silver

This  is,  doubtless,  an  insunce  of  the 
existence  of  some  matters  which  the 
Anthorof  Waverley  does  not  at  present

we  trust  he  will  not  omit  to  commit  ,  ^  ,  ^

was  lurking  through  tne  land,  and 
threatening,  by  its  dangerous  ioBueDce, 
the  annihilation  of  Protestantism  apd

a  variety  of  subject ;  and  the  talented

With  reapect  to  the  liicraiy  coniri- 
bvtioni,  it  mutt  be  admitted  that  no 
periodical  work  hu  e*er  ditplayed  luch 
an  BMcmblage  of  ooble  name*;  yet, 
while  we  cannot  but  be  gratified  by  the 
fact  that  peraona  of  rank  in  the  preicnt 
day  atpire  to  the  lionoari  of  liteTify 
,/kiMe  U  fact  of  which  nur  country  may 
boaii),  the  paee*  of  "  The  KeejMake,'' 
pro*e  that  nobility  qfitamt  i«  dill  in- 
ferior to  the  nobiltlg  ofgemut.  Earthly 
power  may  easily  make  a  Lord,  but 
nalare  only  can  produce  ■  Byron  1  Ii 
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, 
and  the  greatest  attraction  of  wbicb  is 
derived  Iram  the  name  of  its  aattior—

complished and  admired  author  of  fa-.,

in  manuscript  until  their  author  be- 
came the  admired  genius  of  the  day, 
the  public  eye  wou^  neter  have  seen 
ihem.  The  Keepsake  contains  some 
Tery  interesting  fetien  of  Byron.

Having  ihu*  giTcn  an  impartial  cha-

introduce 

The  LUtran/  Svuetnir, 

ONE  of  the  earliest  and  most  ele- 

Snt   that  has  been   produced  in  the 
jdable  competition  for  graphic  and 
literary  elegance.     Not  one  of  them, 

Crhaps,  is  altogether  equal  to  this' 
aotiful  little  volume.  The  taalefuEi 
Editor  is  peculiarly  qualified  for  an 
undertaking  of  ihia  nature,  sa  he  unite*, 
in  an  eminent  flegree,  a  correct  judg< 
Diem  in  the  scleciinn  of  subjects  for 
the  engraver,  with  literary  taleitis  of.a 
superior  order.  The  illuairationi  of 
the  preaeot  Tolnme  ate  all  ofa  beautiful, 
description,  preteniing  a  variety  of 
subjects  executed  in  a  very  superior- 
style.  Ainoog  (he  moat  mteresting

with  fairnesa,)  aie,  a  majestic  fM-

at  Petworth ;  "  Childe  Harold  and

of  Lord  Byron) ;"  and  "  The  Sale  of 
the  Pet  Lamb."  by  Rolla,  from  a  sweet 
picture  by  Collins.  The  latter  abound* 
with  interni.  The  tubjeet  i*  exqui- 
sitely treated,  and  the  enaraving  is  so 
beautifully  worked  up,  tbat  the  matt 
acruiinizing  eye  cannot  discover  a. 
single  defect;  expre**ion  i*  forcibly 
pourtniyed  in  Ihe  moit  mitiute  figures, 
and  every  lauch  of  the  graver  appear* 
to  have  contributed  to  the  geoerat 
effect.  Upon  the  whole,  it  is  but. 
justice  to  repeat,  that  the  engraving* 
are  all  of  a  beautiful  detciipiion.

Some  time  ago,  Mettn.  Longman  Bad

Coleman  Tjion,  tha  alleged  anthar,  tai 
piiblithiiig  au  edltioD  of  Llndlej  Mumj'a 
Grammar,  which  wat  Droved  to  be  paruaj 
from  the  original  work  of  tha  ptaintiOi. 
Tha  edltioD  thiu  pirated  waa  the  4ard,  and

alteratioDi  ofletten.  It  wat  thenfon  as 
much  ■  piracy  aa  to  be  coniideied  a  breach 
of  the  iDJvnoiion.  On  the  part  of  tha  da* 
ftndanta  it  wat  contended,  that  the  work 
had  been  altonther  re-written,  aod  that  tha

aaid,  aaotiderJDg  that  tha  nutter  of  tha  al-

Scamp— a  mean  rascal. 
Itie  compiler  of  the  "  Craven

are  raging  beneaih  him,  bj  a  temporary 
luney  of  the  huge  ronuniains  of  per* 
petoal  ice  by  nhich  he  is  surrounded." 
And  here,  nhlUt  contemplating  this 
lerreslrial  arena  of  many  and  compli- 
cated relations,  this  scene  of  earth, 
with  its  ordained  economy,  imagina- 
tion, though  framed  in  her  happiest 
moald,  is  continually  bewildered  and  . 
moanded.  Dn  Cartes,  »c  are  told, 
"raised  hit  eyes  to  the  heaveni,  and 

Esped  the  universe  in  one  compre- 
isirc  idea,  ail  its  parts  disposed  with 
equal  wisdom  and  simplicity  by  an 
Eternal  Lawgiver.  Amid  this  stupen- 
dous ssaemblage  he  seeks  a  centre." 

The  ttndent,  in  like  manoer,  casts 
hia  eyes  about  him,  apd  surTeyi  his 
own  immediate  neighbonrhood,  and 
acei  ibat  the  work  of  accurately  ex- 
|4oring  the  most  inconsiderable  nook 
in  the  illimitable  empire  which  na- 
ture opens  to  his  view,  demands  a  pe- 
riod equal  to  ihe  allotted  term  of  hu< 
man  life.  The  individual  mind,  there- 
fore, can  only  glance  at  the  infinitely 
,  varied  system  which  science  unfolds, 
and  rise  tOReneral  corollaries  from  the 
teachings  ofauslogicBl  inference.  Pill- 
ed niih  the  survey,  he  rejects  with 
disdain  the  cold  positions  of  presuming 
aciolists,  whose  ariUxance  of  reason  is 
coolinnally  baffled  liy  alleged  infrac- 
tsmt  of  Nature's  harmonies,  as  pre- 
ettabiishcd  in  their  own  undctstand- 
ings,  and  gives  utterance  to  the  1an> 
gnage  of  his  heart  in  the  enthusiasm 
of  a  more  generous  philosophy.  Such 
aspirations  have  been  adopted,  amongst 
ottiers,  by  Lord  Shafieabury.  This  no- 
Meman,  from  certain  delinquencies  in 
bis  writings,  hat  been  considered  a-

Occaskmally  an  impugner  of  certain 
things  which,  a*  believers  in  Revel*, 
tion,  we  hold  sacred,  he  yet  cannot  be

out manifest  injustice,  u  the  cold  phi- 
losophy of  the  last  bad  no  pantlcl  in 
the  author  of  the  *'  CharacterisUcs." 
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- 
niScenl  apostrophes  of  Lord  Sbaftet> 
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  pious  heart,  expanding  with 
the  boundless  survey  which  the  sys- 
tem we  inhabit  presents,  a\oni  with 
the  warmth  of  writers  such  as  these, 
and  disdains  the  callous  and  ealcolatiag

IN  thecouraeormytDquirict  rMpecl-

have  become  acquainted  with  the  name 
of  William  Aintworih,  ooacerning

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

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

I  will  not  make  any  observation

the  meaning  of  this  math,  because  I 
am  anxious  to  have  the  unbiassed  sen-

and  I  particularly  request  the  favour  of 
their  opinions  upoa  the  subject,  be-

THE  (bllowing  account  of  the  cere-

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<

giout  part  of  the  ceremony,  which  took 
place  on  Sunday,  May  30,  lG6o,  mar 
also  be  compated  with  the  oflice  At

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-

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,

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

Mr.  Ukban,         Grimtbg,  Dtt.  SO. 

IN  the  niMt  earlj  period  of  our  Mo- 
narchy, Royal  Charter*  were  con- 
ccdid  for  ihe  especial  benelil  of  parti- 
cular lowna  iDO  their  inhabitants,  OD 
whooi  ihey  were  inieoded  lo  heap 
fichei  and  dittinctinn ;  but  il  does  not 
always  follow  that  the  gaad  intenliont 
of  a  beBefactoT  succeed  in  producing 
the  desired  resulls.  There  must  also 
Ytt  jt  corresponding  disposition  on  the 
part  of  the  receiver  j  for  in  aome  con- 
stitutions iuGroiily  may  so  far  prevail 
u  to  change  the  luost  nutritive  lub- 
stances  into  poison.  If  the  end  of  be- 
iu:6cenoe  ii  perverted,  it  becomes  an 
fvil ;  and  it  is  possible  that  a  benefit 
may  be  altendeo  with  such  ptoviiiona 
ai  will  have  a  terwleacy  to  carry  de- 
struction in  their  liain,  if  they  be  ap- 
plied to  favour  the  purpose*  ofa  atlliih 
and  excluaive  policy.  In  ibe  remote 
times,  when  reatrictive  Charters  were 
first  conceded,  the  laws  of  England 
were  imperfect,  and  tinctured  with  a 


code  of  the  half. civilized  Saxon,  before 
he  explored  the  shore*  of  Britain.  The 

Sreat  mast  of  the  iababilanu  were  tiu 
e  superior  lo  slaves,*  and  held  their 
ponsettions  on  that  most  uncertain  te- 
nure, the  arbitrary  will  of  the  bir«A  • 
under  whose  protection  they  had  been 
arbitrarily  placed  ;  and  it  was  oulj  tfa* 
enfranchised  towns  that  had  the  privi- 
lege of  free  trade,  because  they  held 
immediately  of  the  King,  and  purcha*- 
ed  hia  protection  by  the  paymem  of  an 
annual  fee- f<iTni  rent.  While  this  slate 
of  things  remained,  Ko^al  Chaitera 
were  invaluable,  as  the  right  of  trade 
was  confined  lo  the  burgesses,  in  op* 
posilion  to  the  villanea  or  slaves)  and 
the  merchant  gUilda,  which  were  con- 
stituent parts  of  every  borough,  were  to 
many  accuriliet  to  the  Monarch,  that 
the  privilege  should  not  be  abiucd. 
But  when  the  gygtem  of  slavery  wa*

THE  peiiod,  ai  wcU  a*  ihe  manaer, 
of  iheoiigin  orarinoriil  bearings, 
tliough  now  aKeKained  wiih  tolerable 
l^rcciiion,  wm  long  concealed  Id  per-

mtMenger  of  communicBlion  between 
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  latter  of  the  two  publications  uih 
der  review,  thus  expresses  himiclf  on 
the  subject : 

"  CoDiidenbls  doubt  hu  beta  entertun-

we  think  it  very  possible  that  the  ori-

tural  good  scDse,  aiid  considerable 
formation  and  practice  in  writing, 
though  with  little  of  what  can  be  call- 
ed erudition,  acquitted  himself  very 
crediubly.  Whether,  indeed,  Mr. 
Carpenter  has  in  the  course  of  his 
work,  directly  or  indirectly,  made  no 
higher  pretensions  than  itiose  of  his 
Preface,  cannot,  we  fear,  be  answered 

Suite  $o  favourably  for  Mr.  C,  who 
as  formed  his  Collectanea  with  leM 
of  ingenuoutnew  than  might  be  de- 
sired. Why  did  he  so  sytteinaiicBlIy 
abstain  from  the  use  of  inverted  cqm- 
mast  Of  this  procedure  no  one  has 
more  reason  to  complain  than  Dr.  S. 
T.  Bloomfield,  whose  "  Recensio  Sy- 


expoMtions.    Yet,  upon  the 
r.  C,  has,  by  the  aid  of  oa- 


work.    As  the  most  receally  published 
aeiiet  of  Scripture  annotatKHU,  it  wai# 

«ure,  would  Dr,  B.  under  certain  i«- 
have  objected   i 


n  of  hi)  labours.  We  have, 
however,  marked  more  than  twenty 
passazcs  as  examples  of  unacknow- 
ledged quotation  ;  and  would  partica- 
larly  pointout  the  notes  on  1  Cor.  vi.  2. 
The  latter,  we  apprehend,  contain  a 
satiifactoiy  elucidation  of  one  of  the 


not,  at  in  some  other  places,  to  coai- 
plaio  that  his  researches  have  been  ap- 
piopriaied  and  himself  left  unnoticed. 
His  name  is  mentioned  more  Uhhi 
once ;  yel  by  the  toul  omission  of  in- 
verted commas,  the  matter  present*  a 
garbled  and  unsatisfactory  appearance. 
The  reader  will  scarcely  credit  that  no 
portion  of  that  long  annoiatioo  on 
1  Cor.  vi.  is  Mr.  Carpenter's,  except 
the  interpobtions.  "  Mr.  Bloomlidd 
thinks,"  "im  Mr.  BIoomBeld,''  or, 
"  which  is  ably  summed  op  by  Mr. 
Bloom6eld,''  or,  "  remaiki  this  lean^ 
ed  critic.'' 

We  shall  now  proceed  to  o0er  a  few 
remarks  on  expositions  of  some  paa- 
«3ges  in  the  earlier  part  of  the  New 
TeuamenL  At  Malt,  xxvii.  44,  "the 
lUevei  aim  cast  the  tame  in  his  teeth," 
it  is  strange  that  Mr.  Carpenter's  good 
■enae  should  have  permuted  him  lo 
lake  up  with  so  paltry  a  mode  of  evad- 
ing the  difficuliyas  to  invoke  that  Biit 
as-j  ^ti;(aitn(,  an  tnallage,  which 
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- 
lion.  But  perhaps  we  (a»j_  bring  diii 
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 
Critic  then  aptly  atlduces,  among  other 
paisagea,  the  present,  and  he  ought 
also  m  have  included  Matt.  ii.  S0, 
TiSiiiiuwi — ol  firiDUiiif,  &C. 

We  cannot  but  highly  commend  the 
diligence  used  by  Mr.  Carpenter  ia 
illustrating  the  deeply  inietestiutc  Aif> 
lory   of  Iht    SetUTTtclion   tf  (^riil.

On  Mark  it.  31  and  3fi,  we  quite 
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

upon  t  for  the  Hebrew  ^3  i)  often  si- 
milarly pleonastic.  Thus  it  is  omilttd 
in  the  parallel  passage  of  Matthew. 
Again,  yfrfTKt  iitifat  may  very  well  be 
taken,  by  a  popular  hyperhote,  for  "  it 
becomes  at  it  were  a  wee  i"  especially 
n,  from  a  eotnpanton  of  the  parallel 
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

leputable  iradesman  of  London,  wh[> 
came  from  Guernsey.  His  grandfa- 
ther was  >  clergyman  of  the  puritan 
stamp,  who  joined  in  the  London  Pe- 
tition of  1640.  asainst  the  Bishopij 
was  imprisoned  after  the  Restoration 
fnr  non-conformity,  and  so  forth.  His 
father  was  another  non -con form iM,

ponant  a  character  in  the  estimalton 
of  men  of  tank,  wealth,  conaequence, 
science,  hish  education,  genltemanlf 
or  other  pleasures.  Only  particular 
persons  entertain  the  stighteai  with  to 
know  what  Calamy  and  his  commiK- 
tones  said  or  did ;  for  most  certainly  the 

k  hclbre  us  shows  that  deadly  dif- 

were  made  to  depend  upon 
straws  (  and  yet  every  mait 
iberty  lo  avow  and  profess 
what  he  pleated,  a  posiJon  tukder 
which  there  could  be  no  action  in 
concert,  unless  religion  was  to  be  ren- 
dered not  a  public  sentiment,  but  a. 
private  feeling.  For  our  pans,  we 
think  that  the  pattern  character  of  a 
Clergyman  is  one  founded  on  meek- 
ness, purity,  and  philanthropy,— or 
such  characters  as  La  Roche,  the  Vi. 
car  of  Wakefield,  and  Sterne's  monk  ; 
but  denying,  as  a  good  private  charac- 
ter, nothing  to  Calamy,  he  was  ne- 
vertheless a  prejudiced  polemic,  ambi- 
liousof  being  deemed  an  oracle,  though 
upon  such  a  subject  an  impossible  al- 
leinpt ;  and  he  acted,  like  hia  lellow*. 
i.  e.  like  persons  not  bigoted  to  any 
system,  only  to  their  own  ideas  and 
infallibility.  Knowing  as  we  do  Dtany 
most  worthy  Oisieniers,  we  are  aure.

potiiical  well-being,  which  are.  in  our

lothe  result*  of  Christian  teneit  prac- 
lieittly  eaemplilied,  which  show  that 
it  is  not  a  theoretical  •jsiem. 

Calamy  makes  the  Bible  only  ■ 
atandatd.  Admitled.  But  when  men 
divide  inlo  jiarlies  upon  the  meaning 
of  it,  how  can  it  be  anj  longer  a  lun- 
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, 
*■  we  said  before,  by  moral  purity,  and 
i^eclion  of  every  unkind  feeling  whal- 

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 
woiKS  the  coiUemporaru  meaning  of 
his  text,  and  the  paraller  pattagea. 

Thill  far  have  we  gone,  because  we 
shall  enter  into  the  contents  of  thik 
work  hitlorically,  not  polemically.

think,  that  the  victory  of  St.  Geo^e

to  be  recollrcicd,  that  this  legendary

vertheless, from   Sl   Peter's,   Oxford, 
this  anecimen,  and  others,  we  are  in* 
dined   to   think    that    the   fashion'ii 
Analo-SaxoD  as  to  origin,  for  it  is  cer- 
laitily  Roman.     We  do  iK>t  rrcolleel 
any  of  ihe  latur  in  ancient  remaiot, 
or  paintings,  with  angular  buitiestea; 
though   bullressei  do  appear  annexed 
0  walls;  hollow  and  having  ■ 
side,  with  a 
^  oflheicwera 

abore  (see  Pompciaoa,  Ptaiei  l6  and 
17).  It  is  possible  that  these  posienn 
suggested  the  side-long  eoiraocn  of 
Norman  keeps ;  for  the  object  in  both 
was  the  same,  and  the  fashions  similar. 
Our  telid  angular  bultresset  had  evi- 
dently no  other  inleniion  than  slicnglb 
and  ornament;  but  ihrinsianceBquoied 
show,  ihat  in  the  Roman  sra  ihey

We  remember  well,  that  oouat  of

■eemt,  that  certain  bell-fonndert  of

to  iiy,  that  the  decay  of  ihe  agrieul- 
tore,  trade,  and  reveuue  of  this  coui>- 
try,  bqins  to  feet  its  pernicious  in- 
fluence, because,  though  never  ac- 
knowMged  u  legally  boni  on  the 
Royal  Eichange,  it  has  been  legiti- 
mated by  the  Sniate.  How  inappli- 
cable it  II  to  Rcluat  business,  will  ap- 
liear  from  the  following  paragraph  :

that  if  a  farmer  gains  10^.  more,  a

shall  offer  some  opioions  upon  that 

It  haa'been  called  an  Impious  at-

were  ihehrsl  asironomera,  through  the 
cleariieas  of  their  aky,  and  large  level 
of  iheir  plains,  the  term  "of  reaching

metaphor,  denolitig  the  use  of  the

In  perusing  Dr.  Doddridge's  corre-

unavoidable.  The  muaic  of  thi*  aong 
is  Tery  pretty  and  ballad  like;  bot  the 
first  symphony  is  too  heavy,  and  ih« 
accompaninKiit  better  for  the  herp 
than  the  piano  forte.

are  trdy  pathetic,  and  thouab  without 
much  eftort  or  aim  at  poetical  excel*

whose  hearts  are  not  closed  by  the 
coarse  and  heartless  attacks  on  (he 
poet,  that  have  of  late  proceeded  from

exclaim,  "  Et  to,  Brnte  ["  As  to 
"  Stay  lime,  stay,"  composed  bt  E. 
Soli*,  words  by  R.  Ryan,  it  scarcely 
needs  animadverting  on.  The  bepn-

Here  our  admiration  is  excited  by  an- 
other beautiful  Waltz  of  J.  F.  BoT' 
(owes,  in  E  four  sharps,  the  character 
•f  which  combines  al  once  the  tender, 
the  energetic,  and  the  elegant.  The 
open  pedal  part  of  the  second  page, 
jNtising  from  f<}ur  sharps  to  C  major 
(which  impart*  a  peculiar  softnt**)  ha* 
a  iroly  fine  effect,  worthy  of  the  ad- 
mirable iraasitiooi  of  Kalkbrconer.

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 
/./g.  I.)  contains  a  south-west  view 
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

a  siring  course  encircling  the  whole

course  by  the  ants.  Tliis  story  is 
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 
enjjaged  columns  of  no  defiuiic  order, 
A  hemispherical  dome  crowns  the 
whole,  sustaining  on  ita  vertex  a  gilt 

The  portion  already  described,  it 
marked  by  a  naked  frigidiiy,  the  result 
of  a  laboured  attempt  to  give  an  air 
of  simplicity  to  the  architecture.  The

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» 
finished  with  the  cornice  only,  conti.

no  artist  has  turned  to  more  advantage. 
Nay,  I  would  refer  to  hit  Medals  of

this  reverse  would  have  been  a  most 
unpleasant  subject  i  bat  the  extraordi. 
nary  skill  and  judgment  of  the  Chief 
Engraver  has  converted  it  into  ons

their  feel.  It  woold  be  endless  lo  re- 
count all  the  astonishing  feata  which 
were  exhibited  in  the  house  of  this  ill- 
fated  family ;  ihey  continued  for  several 
moniha  lon^i  without  any  ceaia linn, 
the  entertainments  being  exceedingly 
various  and  diversified.  A  narration 
of  these  would  fill  many  paEca,  but  it 
may  be  sufficient  lo  aay  they  were 
sworn  to  upon  the  trial  of  the  drummer 
by  Mr.  Mompessoo  and  hia  family, 
the  tninisier  of  the  parish,  SirThomaa 
Chamherliii,  and  many  other  respect' 
able  inhabitants  of  Ihe  place,  who  had 
been  eye  and  ear  witnesses  of  them 
time  alter  lime.  What  caused  euspi-- 
ciou  lo  fall  upon  the  drummer  was 
this:  While  he  wss  in  custody,  a 
Wilisliireman  coming  lo  see  him,  he' 
asked  what  news  in  Wiluhlrer  The 
mun  said  he  knew  of  noue.  "  No,"* 
said  the  drummer^  "do you  not  hear 
□f  the  drumming  at  a  gentleman'* 
house  at  Tedworth."  "  That  1  d<^ 
enough,"  said  the  man.  "!,''  quoth 
the  drummer,  "  have  placed  bim, 
and  he  shall  never  be  quiet  lill  he  hath 
made  me  satisfied  for  taking  away  my 
drum."  Upon  information  of  this  be 
was  tiled  for  a  witch,  convicted,  and 
irana  ported. 

It  appears,  that  in  1670  a  villi^ 
named  Molera,  in  SwilKerland,  wat 
reduced  10  a  miserable  condition  by  a 
slrange  witchcraft  which  prevailed 
there;  which  being  communicated  10 
the  king,  he  appointed  ceiiaio  com- 
missioners, some  of  the  clergy,  and 
someof  thetaiiy,  10  examine  ihewhole

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,  ■ 


'  viiible.  The  legs  consist  of  d 
pairs,  each  standing  on  a  rouod  plat- 
form ;  ihe^f  are  all  covered  with 
feather*,  the  ifaird  pair  green  •*  far  at 
the  feel,  the  fifth  red,  the  tixlh  hrown,. 
the  tevenih  green,  the  rest  naked.

aiion  of  this  miracle  will  be  found 


on  Mi.  Greene's  aliarpiece,  engraved 
in  oor  vol.  xLV.  p.  Sb.  The  taint  is

figure  is  knerliag,  holding  another  ro- 
tary or  red  beads.  This  figure  will 
also  be  found  in  the  picture  on  Mr, 
Greene's  altarpiece. 

The  third  taint  is  naked,  with  ten 
arrows  ilickins  in  various  parts  of  his 
bodj  and  limbi.  It  it  probably  St. 
Sebastian;  since,  although  our  eor- 
respondeat  in  p.  SGO,  was  correct  in 
his  statement  that  St,  Edmund  the 
king  met  with  a  limilar  martyrdom, 
we  are  not  informed  that  the  pretent 
figure  it  erowned,  as  would  have  been 
the  case  had  that  royal  saint  been 
intendrd. 

In  our  vol.  Liv.  p.  14,  will  be  found 
an  engraving  of  ■  teal  of  the  Abbey 
of  St.  bdoiund's  Bury,  on  which  the 
martyrdom  of  the  patron  saint  is  repre- 
sented in  two  com|>ariinenit.  In  the 
upper  he  is  teen  tied  to  a  tree  and 
Covereil  with  arrows,  which  five  men 
■re  engaged  in  shooting  at  him.  Be- 
neath IS  his  decapiiaiion,  and  the  wolf

tD  the  original,  and  it  correctly  to  re-

for  Dr.  Valn'i  History  of  Bury.  As 
the  wolf,  by  miraculous  influence,  wat 
commissioned  to  rejoin  the  head  to  the 
body,  it  will  not  be  consiilered  a  great 
additional  wonder  that  the  crown  did 
not  fall  off  the  head!      In  the  new

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

our  consideration  was  built,  and  hence 
received  the  disltiiciive  appclhiion  of

which  isoflered  by  SiukVtn,  liz.  Ca~

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'* 
Head.t 

Early  in  the  year  1481  the  parish-

the  Creed  aod  Lord's  pr«yer  are  in  the 
north  sile.  Time  are  several  lahletJ 
of  chariialile  donations.  The  piiljiit  is 
coriously  carved.  A  gallery  was  erect- 
ed against  ihe  parliiion,  the  whole 
breaUih  of  the  Church,  in  I73S,  as  is 
•ecn  by  an  inscription  in  the  front  of  it. 
In  the  souih  uile  of  the  choir  is  the 
font,  of  great  antiquity ;  It  consists  of 
«  circular  bason,  standing  on  a  low 
nasij  pillar,  raised  on  a  step  about  a 
foot  high  ;  four  human  figures  are 
placed  at  equal  dislaneei  round  the 
bason,  each  supporied  by  a  slender 
eolumn.     Near   it  is  a  white  marble 

becca  Powel,  wife  of  William  Powel, 
Ek).  who  died  in  1817,  snd  her  two 
grand-daughters. 

In  the  north  aile  is  a  tablet  to  the 
metnory  of  William  Hinchley,  who 
was  for  S8  years  a  failhrul  servant  and 
friend  in  the  family  of  Jaine*  Male, 
Esq.  of  Bel)e-Vue  in  this  parish.  He 
died  in  1813.  aged  78.   ' 

The  ahar  is  composed  of  a  slab  of 
white  marble,  supported  by  an  iron 
frame  work.  Against  the  eoil  end  of 
the  north  aile  ate  the  remains  of  an 
ancient  fresco  painting;  in  one  iiart 
the  Virgin  is  seen  with  the  infant 
Jesus  ]  in  another  a  man  leaning  on  a 
rbIIows,  with  a  bishop  standing  be- 
side him  ;  in  ■  third  compaitmeni  are 
ie*eral  figures  in  a  ship,  doubtless  al- 
luding to  the  history  of  Christ's  stilling 
the  tempest.  Portions  of  other  figures 
are  plainly  discernible. 

Immediately  beneath  ia  an  inserip-

In  the  same  aile,  in  one  of  the  ^w%, 
il  a  stone,  upright  against  the  wall,  in 
memory  of  several  mciiibers  of  a  re-

are  read  off  by  every  European  into  hit 
own  language,  (although  in  French,

tend this  benefit  from  the  mere  repre- 
sentation of  arithmetical  figiirei  to  that 
of  language  in  general. 

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

Blai  in  the  original,  and,  even  ihoagh 
be  may  have  never  seen  it  before,  re^d

cew  can, only  be  carried  on  with  lan- 
guage* resembling  each  other  in  the 
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 
tome  Chinese  who  were  seen  by  a  tra- 
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 
would  at  the  same  time,  with  the 
symbols,  have  learnt  the  sonnds,  and 
been  able  to  hold  a  convenaiion.  The

L  is  all  reduced  to  this,  that  the  naliret 
of  the  country  are  obliged  lo  dcvoie  a 
greater  portion  of  time  and  iiudy  (a 
learn  to  read  their  own  language,  than 
tbey  need  expend  in  acquiring  root  and

and  that  those  foreigners  who  letrn  lo 
read  their  works,  are  sliJI  incapable  of 
holding  any  coQversalion  with  the  na- 
tion,  a  faculty  which  in  every  other 
case  they  alinojl  simultaneously  acquire. 
It  mill  convey  hut  a  trifling  nation  of 
the  ditadiantages  of  the  sysieni,  lo  say 
that  il  is  the  tame  as  if  the  Iialiani 
ttill  spoke  Italian,  but  wrote  in  Green- 
landish,  because  Greenlandish  would 
still  be  capable  of  being  read  aloud, 
which  the  Chineiecharucltrsarenot. 

Let  us  now  proceed  from  this  "Uni- 
versal Character"  system,  10  another, 
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. 
vote  their  sludies  lo  Langaage-otogy-~ 
il  is  10  adopt  an  alphabet  capable  of 
repreteoiing  oil  sounds  whatever^  ihat 
can  be  produced  by  the  human  voice.

half  ago,  Dointed  out  the  best  methiM 
of  doing  this.

time  it  is  produced,  in  which  of  coune 
■n  oblique  downward  line  standi  for 
the  throat,  a  horiiontat  one  for  the 
tongue,  &c. — and  in  this  manner  a 
letter  is  fornied.  Thus  to  represent 
any  sound  whatever,  even  though  it  he 
the  barbarous  click  of  the  loD^e 
^^inst  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  which 
disfigures  the  language  of  ihc  Hnlten- 
tots,  we  have  only  to  Jiscover  how  it  is 
produced,  and  we  at  once  know  what 
letter  to  appropriate  to  it — and  can,  if 
it  be  hitherto  untrpresented,  frame  a 
new  one,  upon  scientific  principles, 
with  the  ntnioti  ease.  1 1  is  alao  impos- 
sible, follonina  this  method,  to  write 
the  same  Nunir two  different  ways. 

This  alphabet  is  at  once  the  most 
poweiful  and  the  most  simple  possible, 
and  it  is  a  disgrace  to  the  age,  that  it 
should  haTC  been  allowed  to  sleep  in 
ohlivion  Torso  lone  a  period.  It  ought 
to  be  instantly  adopted  in  all  works, 
inch  as  Adclung's  Mithridates,  or 
Fry's  Pantsgraphia,  intended  to  facili- 
tate the  comparison  of  languages,  in 
all  pronouncing  dictionaries,  aniTworki 
of  tViat  description.  It  night  be  called, 
in  honour  of  its  ingenious  inventor, 
"The  Wilkins  Alphabet." 

XXXm.  Most  people  have  met 
with  the  Joke  of  the  man  who  <oa 
bearing  the  word  "  that "  used  impro- 
perly, exclaimed,  "  I  say  thai  that  Ikal 
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." 

XXXIV.     Leibniu.  it  is  said,  in 
his  youth  formed  a  project  for  establish- 
ing an  universal  language.     It  is  what 
a  great  msny  other  people  have  done 
GaxT.  M<o.  SapiA.  XCIX.  Part  II. 


■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. 

But  supposing  it  should  not  be  a 
dead  language  upon  which  the  choice 
should  fall— ^opposing  it  thotdd  be  *

the  German  Elizabelhan  age,  or,  ai  we 
inight  term  It,  "Cradle  age,"  appa- 
lenlly  not  yet  exhausted.  A  continual 
freshness  and  activily  is  kept  up  in  the 
literarv  world  by  the  coutinual  awaken-

coold  not  be  ciperieoced  if  one  lan- 
guage, even  ihe  most  perfect  con-

Greek  for  instance,  esteemed  by  many 
the  finest  of  all, — in  Its  cradle  age, 
when  oil  was  new,  we  know  that  it 
produced  masterpieces  which  are  in-

when  that  first  noble  eothiisiasoi  had

Mr.  Ubban,    Lighlcliffi,Dec.30. 

FROM  some  papcn  in  my  posK^- 
sion,  I  gather  ihat,  in  ihe  ycu 
l()3S  Ihe  Re*.  William  Ainsworth 
(before  noticed  in  pp.  2g0,  4g8),  wis 
living  ai  Crow  nest,  in  ihe  chapelry  of 
Liffhtdlfie,  in  the  paciih  of  Halifas. 
This  ippeart  lo  hare  been  his  own 
citalc )  bul,  in  >  few  years  aflerwards, 
1  find  it  in  the  hands  of  another  pos- 
wtior.  "  Kea  angiut^  donii"  maj 
probably  have  obliged  him  to  itibpose 
or  his  liitle  properly,  and  this  circum- 
•lance  may  explain  the  use  of  the 
term  "  untorlutiate,"  which  he  applies 
10  himself  in  the  conclusion  of  his  de- 
dicalioi)  to  his  patron. 

In  1647  he  was  presented  by  the 
Vicar  of  Halifax  lo  the  Perpetual  In. 
cumbencT  of  Lightdiffe,  which  he 
held  until  1650. 

"  Samuel  Sunderland,  Esq.*'  ooe  of 
Mr.  Ainsworth's  patrons,  was  born  in 
ihii  parish  in  J600 ;  he  went  lo  Loo* 
don,  where  he  carried  on  ihe  business 
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:

contains  aeveral  tironf  complaiols  of 
the  po*erty  of  the  Clergy  in  thoM

says:

I  shall  only  observe,  that  if  this  wai 
the  cjse  in  the  succeeding  reign,  it  is 
not  10  be  wondered  ai  that  so  many 
Curates  so fTi-red  ihemseltes  to  be  eject-

the  late  civil  storms,  he  was  as  poorly 
provided  of  accommodations  for  study, 
as  Cleanthes  was  for  writing  his  philo- 
sophical noies,  when,  having  wrought 
all  diiy  long  rn  the  vineyards,  lie  wrote 
at  ninht  on  bare  bones  instead  of  paper.

Now  we  know,  that  the  church  of 
Kiloeck  in  Herefordthire  it  affirmed, 
in  tbe  Anglia  Sacra,  to  have  been  con< 
•ecrated  in  ihc  time  of  the  Conqueror, 
bv  Herwald,  Bishop  of  Landan,  who 
alto  consecrated,  in  the  lime  or  Edward 
the  Confeisor  and  Harold,  "  Henul- 
lam,  Dubric,  and  Lanlilio,  in  uno  ce- 
■nelerio,"  (AngtiaSacra,ii.67l.)  Kil- 
peck  we  ha*e  examined,  and  can  aarelj 
•Negate,  that  it  hat  a  quite  different 
aipect  from  other  churches,  and  has 
_  undergone  no  other  alicralions  than 
'  perhaps  a  wooden  porch,  or  tome  such 
trifling  thing.  If  invcsligalions  were 
made  of  variout  Welch  churches,  men- 
tioned in  higiory,  we  are  ture  that  le- 
vera]  wootd  be  found  anterior  to  the 
Conquest,  which  have  undergone  little 
«r  no  chaiwi  and,  oddly  enough,  the 
leading  diflerence,  viz,  that  the  com- 
mencemeotof  mullioaain  the  windowi 
marks  an  aera,  has  either  not  been  no- 
^ced  or  very  slightly.  According  to 
■Itch  obter^ationt  as  we  have  been  able 
to  make,  the  striking  difference  of  the 
Saxon  and  Norman  (ihoogh  the  rnte 
may  not  be  tvithbol  exceptions}  it,  that 
in  the  former  the  arch  it  very  lofty 
and  the  pillar  ihorl  j  and  in  the  Nor-

no  meant  blame  Mr.  Oliver;  but  we 
know  the  notion  which  hat  been  in- 
culeated,  that  every  architectural  re-

thentic hiitory,  which  give*  lu  date* 
of  the  actual  edification. 

It  has  been  noted,  that  when  power 
falls  into  the  bandt  of  the  rulgar,  it  it 
exercised  in  a  moat  violent  pciniciam 
manner.  We  venerate  Ihe  memory  of 
Gerrase  gollet,  esq.  more  than  once 
mayor  of  Gri  mi  by,  andoneof  iurepre- 
aentativet  in  Parliament;  for  excelleat

of  the  Corporation  were  in  the  habit 
of  attending  church  in  their  every  day

ordered  to  lytie  where  they  are  ap- 
poynted,  and  in  decent  apparelt."  The 
rank  of  the  husband  also  extended  to 
the  wife ;  for  in  the  tame  ordinance  it 
it  further  commanded,  that  "  the  al-

Upon  the  memorial  figure  of  Judge 
Greville,  (William  Greville  made  Jus- 
tice C.  PI.  21  May  ISiO,  Chronica  Ju- 
ridicalia, p.  14g,)  at  Campden  in  Glou- 
ccstenbiie,*  is,  says  Mr.  GouEh,  (Se- 
pulchr.  Mooum.  Inirod.  i.  ciix)  "■ 
Kood  representation  of  the  ancient  an- 
Mc«,  which  wa*  a  knile  or  dasger  worn 
U  ibe  girdle.''  From  this  coincidence 
we  are  inclined  to  think,  that  a  knife 
M  worn  was  a  costume  of  judge*.  It 
it  known   that  the  puisne  jungei

That  there  is  a  superior  taste  in  the 
Eneliih  miinomered  Golhie,  we  will- 
incTy  admit.  But  that  the  ityle 
alluded  to  wa*  matuTed  and  invented 
in  England,  ii  absurd,  and  to  be  classed 
with  the  Gundulphian  origin  of  ail 
our  caillet,  and  a  fauudaticnleu  Nor* 
man  mania,  a  theory  which  has  been 
formed  without  a  requisite  collection 
of  facts  and  historical  reseaich,  both 
of  which  will  be  found  to  oTcrlhrow 
iL  It  is  therefore  empiricisiD,  not 
science.    We  dwell  more  ^liculu-ly 

npon  this  subject,  because  it  ic '- 

be  legitimated  among  r 


by  ancient  custom  knighitd;  and  we     chxologists  (we  do  not  allude  to  Mr. 
have   no  better   explanation  lo  offer,      Oliver,  out  his  aulhoTities),  to  advance 


n  that  tbe  dagger,  anlace,  or  knife, 
was  an  allusion  lo  that  honour.  The 
dauer  itself  was  a  plaything,  worn 
betkind  the  back,  by  a  belt  round  the 
neck,  and  in  various  ways  (see  plates 
in  Struli's  Dtessft) ;  but  ihougn  the 
Frankeleyn  of  Chaucer  wore  an  anlace, 
or  knife,  at  his  girdle  (Strult  p.  999), 
yet  Ibe  Judge  in  plate  Lxxx  has  it 
only  at  hij  girdle,  the  more  pacific 
accompaniment  of  an  ink-horn,  of  the 
form  of  an  ovo-oonical  powder-flask. 

Id  p.  36  we  find  a  deprecation  of  the 
misnomer  of  Golhie  architeciare,  as 
applied  to   that   most  beautiful   style,

BOETHIUS  wa»  a  noble  Romtn, 
who  wu  born  about  the  year  479.  Hia

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,

ConaideredM  a  tysiem  of  philosophy,

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

the  Apollo  Priipus  of  profligRte  young 
men  i  but,  though  worshipped  as  an 
idol,  nevar  consulted  aa  an  oracle.'

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

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

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^

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-

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

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-

in  a  work  entiiled,  A  Defence  of  In-

DANCING  i*  a  natural  imputie, 
produced  by  muuc;  a  phnioltwicU 
consequence  of  certain  modes  of  ex* 
citemeni  by  sounds.  Tbia  poatulate  n 
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

indelicate  was  eonseqnent  opon  bar-

and  is  merely  a  graceful  exhibition  of 
pleasure;  and  if  it  be  pro-

•eiy,  philosopher!  know  that  Pro»i- 
dence  has  annexed  lo  all  animal  being 
the  loTC  of  pleasure,  and  the  lore  <? 
action ;  that  without  such  propensitiet 
life  woold  not  be  endurable ;  and  that 
the  extirpation  of  innocent  pleaauret 
it  sure  to  introduce  gross  substitutes. 

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 
dancing  figure)  upon  vases;  trie  iuda- 
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

We  have  already  givei)  our  opinion

Health,  strength,  activity,  and  phy-

other  conaetjuences  of  sedentary  pur-

Labnur  and  stage-dancing  at  pro- 
ducing only  peripiration  aniTdisorder, 
are  now  out  of  vogue  j  and  human 
bears  are  more  easi^  taught  to  dance 
than  natural  ones,  at  least  as  easily  | 
but  neveriheless  attitude  and  grace 
cannot  be  learned  from  such  a  hunu

_  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- 
count* of  the  botanical  Professora, 

or  the  first  we  shall  have  but  little 
to  «ay ;  it  it  a  republication  of  a  me-

the  pbenoiBeiu  of  the  Univene  Are 
eSMted  Iw  tbe  noilificBUDD)  of  one 
■tropic  tubilance,  lo  iafinitel;  dtnnble 
and  unponderable,  that,  aa  Sir  Isaac 
Newton  thought,  "  e«n  one  ounce  of 
It  nnirormly  diilributed  over  the  *ait 
■pace  in  which  out  wlar  lyslein  exiiti< 
might  leave  no  quartet  of  an  inch 
wiSiont  iu  panicle,"  and  yet  *o  lut- 
ceptible  of  other  formi,  at,  we  think, 
■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 
dnit,  and  returns  to  K,  it  is  prored  by 
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- 
faetorily  and  jadiciousty  written;  and 
■the  very  considerable  ingenuity  of  the 
author  is  employed  by  him  for  tbe 
ueeiiit  purpose,  as  if  be  was  a  magidao, 
of  evoking  new  discoveries,  oot  to

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 
to  deserve  the  decided  superiority  in  points  which  this  Miscellany  has  so 
long  sustained,  but  still  further  to  extend  its  reputation  aa  a  Standard 
Repository  of  more  useful  and  general  infonnarion  than  any  Periodical 
Publica(ion  extant. 

The  must  essential  character  of  the  Gbhilsham's  Macazinb  will  be 
still  rigidly  preserved.  Tlie  Editors  will  coiilinue  lo  display  the  same 
ardent  and  uuallcrdtile  attachment  to  (he  Constitution,  both  in  C^iurch 
and  Slate.  Their  columns  shall  still  be  devoted  to  Eound  and  useful 
Idterature,  and  ever  be  open  to  fair  and  temperate  discij^ion ;  but  they 
shall  never  become  (he  vehicle  qf  malevolent  bickerings,  or  insidious 
attacks  on  individuals.  They  would  sooner  fall,  than  build  (heir  pros- 
perity on  the  ruins  of  private  reputation.  So  long  as  they  receive  the  able 
assistance  of  their  learned  Coadjutors,  and  experience  the  same  liberal 
patronage  from  the  Public,  they  contidenily  flatter  themselves  that  this 
publication  will  still  pre-eminently  maintain  its  character,  and  long  remain 
(he  arena  where  youthful  and  aspiring  Genius  may  first  plume  its  wings. 

With  respect  to  the  general  interests  of  the  Magazine,  the  Proprietors 
experience  considerable  pleasure  in  stating,  that  (hey  still  continue  to 
receive  the  most  liberal  support.  They  find  their  Literary  resources  daily 
augmenting,  not  only  from  every  department  of  the  United  Emfnre,  hnt 
from  the  remotest  |)ortions  of  the  Civilized  Worlds  and  they  cone  ' 

duty  to  express  their  grateful  acknowledgments  for  the  kind  q
