This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  librai^y  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  pait  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  expii'ed.  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  marginalia  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  this  resource,  we  have  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  from  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  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  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  aie  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  liability  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

many  of  tlie  characters  given  of  modem  publications,  are  like 
false  lights,  lield  out  only  to  mislead,  and  the  critic  becomes  either 
the  too  partial  friend,  or  the  mercenary  eulogist  of  the  author. 
From  such  a  betrayal  of  our  duty  to  the  public,  we  trust  the 
pages  of  this  Magazine  will  be  always  free.  We  have  no  more  to 
obsen'e  at  the  present  time,  but  to  hope  that  our  correspondents 
will  continue  to  favour  us  with  their  obliging  and  valuable  com- 
munications on  Literature  and  Antiquities  as  they  have  done; 
and,  in  conclusion,  we  venture  to  observe,  that  to  animadvert 
without  acrimony,  and  to  amend  without  the  severity  of  censure, 
are  the  surest  methods  of  obtaining  the  ends  desired; — the 
domain  of  Literature  and  Science  should  em])hatically  be — the 
domain  of  Peace.

the  observation — "  that  the  earth  is  a  5.olid,  settled  elcmml," — and,  in 
addition,  "  that  it  is  universnlty  beneficial  to  man  and  beast ;  "  tir,  '*  tli 
in  commendation  of  ttic  earth  wc  may  say.  that  it  |mts  limits  to  the  piou(

truths, — known  axioms,  which  have  been  allowed  after  tluc  exnminalioni 
and  carried  to  Recount.  Nor  does  he  preface  his  observations  on  the  fltitj 
by  informing  us  that  *'  it  has  cloven  hoofs  and  chews  the  cud,"  and  th 
"  Mo«es  permitted  it  to  the  .lews."  He  cannot  quote  the  example  of  Dr. 
Nowell,  Dean  of  St,  Paul's,  or  Sir  Henry  Wotton,  Provost  of  Eton, 
proficients  in  deer-stalking,  and  "directing  a  tenth  port  of  their  time  (o

Thomas  Jamieson,  nnd  Charlie  C-rernr,  and  Peter  Maclaren,  the  Mclcager 
of  the  North  ;  and  he  has  formed  from  snch  materials,  perhaps,  the  moat 
engaging,  attractive,  and  admirably  executed  work  that  wns  ever  devoted 
to  the  description  of  the  simrls  of  the  field.  Even  apart  from  its  imme-

"  No  fairy  Btrikos,  ao  witch  bath  power  to  hnna.** 
We  will,  the  while,  like  Hamlet,  to  out  book. 

There  arc  three  ways  of  pnrsuiug  the  chase  of  the  rod  deor  in  Soot 
lat)d ;    by  driving, — by   coursiog  M'ith   deer  hounds, — and  by  etfiUnng.1 
The  first  requires  a  great  pleuty  of  game,  aud  a  large  space  of  unoccu- 
pied ground.     On  tlie  continent,  Mr.  Scropc  tells  us,  it  is  still  practis 
on  thL*  grandest  scale,  the  ^mc  of  a  whole  pronnce  being  surrounded 
the  marshalled  peusautn-  of  a  prince  or  noble,  and  fixed  to  some  centndl 
spot  for  alnughter.     Spottiewoode  has  mentioned  that  Queen  Mar)'  liuaiedj 
the  deer  in  t  lie  forest  of  iMarr  aud  AtlioU  iu   1563;  aod  Barclay  tolls  imJ 
that  two  thouKatid  Highhinders  were  employed  for  several  ivecks  in  diiviDg 
like  deer  to  the  amount  of  two  thousand,  besides  roea,  does,  and  other  gnrae. 
Three  hundred  and  sixty  deer  were  killed,  five  wolves,  and  some  roes, 
lliis  method  is  still  resorted  to  iu  the  forc&t  of  Glengarry  and  other  places  j  j 
but  since  the  woods  have  been  destroycfl,  and   fire  arms  improved,  the] 
system  has  given  way  to  the  more  exciting  amusement  of  deer-stalktng. 
The  second  system  of  hunting  with  stag-houuds  could  not  be  practised  inJ 
the  mountains  and  abrupt  country  of  Scotland,  where  a  hor«e  could  uot] 
follow,  though  Ossian  describes  the  car-borne  Kingal  whirling  over  the  hillftj 
of  Morvcu,  Tike  a  meteor  from  a  stormy  cloud  :  and  to  pull  down  the  6ta_ 
with  the  greyhound^  unnssisted  by  the  rifle,  seems  more  than  the  powers! 
of  the  dog,  unless  under  extraordiuajy  circumstances,  can  achieve, except] 
in  a  tiroctbat  would  be  tedious  from  its  length.  There  remains  then  the  thirdi 
method  of  deer-stalking,  eo  graphically  described  iu  Mr.  Scropc 's  work,  the  I 
art  of  whieh  consists  of  approaching  the  deer  unheard  within  riHe  shot  («] 
work  of  great  delicacy  and  difficulty),  assisted  by  deer  hounds  to  follow  and  J 
bring  him  to  bay,  if  only  wounded.     Now,  there  is  no  animal  more  solitary! 
and  shy  than  the  red  deer.     He  takes  the  note  of  alarm  from  every  livjngj 
thing  on  the  moor — all  seem  to  be  his  sentinels  j  the  sudden  btait  uf  anyj 
animal — the  springing  of  a  moor  fowl — the  scream  of  the  plover — or  thcj 
fiuiallettt  bird  in  distress  will  set  luu)  off  in  an  instant.    It  was  tliis  habit  of  I 
fitartiug  and  alTright,  without  any  viaiUc  or  sulficient  cause,  that  [uoUibly 
gave  rise  to  tlie  Celtic  superstition,  that  the  deer  beheld  the  ghot>Ui  of  the  > 
dead:   "  the  deer  of  the  mountains  avoids  the  place,  foi  he  beholds  a  dim 
ghoflt  standing  there."   He  is  always  most  tintid  *  when  he  docs  not  sec  his 
adversary,  for  then  he  8us|M:ct8  an  ambush.  If  he  hai^  him  full  in  view,  he  is 
as  cool  and  circnm8|)ect  as  possible:  he  watches  him  acutely,  cndcavonn 
to  ascertain  his  purjHwe,  and  takes  the  best  means  to  defeat  it.     He  ia 
ne^'cr  in  a  hurry  or  confused,  aud  when  he  docs  take  his  measure,  it  isj 
decisive.     \\'hen  hotly  jmrstied  by  dog^.  a  stag  will  select  the  moit  desir-j 
able  spot  in  the  mountains  where  he  cuti  stand  at  Imy.     Him  inntinct  lendnj 
him  to  the  river,  where  his  long  legs  give  him  a  great  atlvantagv  nier  tlioj 
dccr-bouuds.     Finuly  he  holds  his  poftitiou,  while  they  swim  round  himi 
jwwerlcss,  and  would  die  from  cold  and  fatigue  before  they  could  make] 
the  least  impression  on  hiro.     Standing  on  a  rock  in  the  midsit  of  a  river,!

(-(mtiuucdsomc  time,  tillot  leng:th  (heycame 
to  some  green  sward,  where  tlie  ground  waa 
not  no  farouroble.     There  waa  a  ifrcat  dif> 
&:aUy :  it  seemed  barely  powiible  tu  [lasi 
tbts  »mall  piece  of  ground  without  ditco- 
very  ;    lioweTcr,    llie  dangerous   pas*  waa 
then   attempted.      TortoiHe   then   made  « 
aigiud  fur  Snndy  tn  lir  down  with  the  dngv, 
and  pUcing  himielf  flat  with  hix  atomirh, 
began  to  worm   his   way  cloie   under  the 
low  ridge  of  the  ho$ :  imitated,  moft  cor- 
rectly and  hesulifully.  by  the   reat  of  the 
party.     The  burn  now  came  Aheer  up  to 
intercept  the  passage,  and  formed  a  pool 
under  tbe  bank,  running  deep  and  drearily. 
The  leader  then   turned   his   head  round 
alightty,  and   panired   bif  hand  niong  the

then   worked   balf  of  hin   body  over   the

With  hia  breajrt  to  the  water,  and  drew  the 
rest  of  bia  body  after  hint  att  »trni({bt  it>  lie 
poasibly  eould.      He  was   thi<n   batf  im- 
lueried.  and  getting  close  under  (he  bxiik, 
took  the  rifles.     The  re»t  followed  admi- 


rably. They  proefeded  in  this  tnuiDef 
aboie  twenty  yards,  wheni  the  groti: 
being  more  favourable,  they  were  t-nabli 
to  get  on  dry  land.  .  .  A  sign  vttm  givnii 
to  Peter  Frajier  to  come  alungxidr,  fi 
they  were  arrivrd  at  the  spot  at  wliich  l( 
is  necesjary  to  diver^^u  iitto  the  moss,  tn 
breathless  expectattcm  tbey  now  turned  to 
the  eastward,  and  crept  forward  througb 
the  bog  to  enable  them  to  come  in  upon 
the  flank  of  the  hart,  who  wa«  lying. 
with  his  head  up  tbe  wind,  and  woula;

Now  came  the  anxious  moment ;  r\-cry 
thiug  hitherto  bad  soL-ceeded  :  much  va- 
luable  time  hud  been  spent  ;  they  bsd 
gone  forward  in  every  possible  postUon, 
their  hands  and  knees  buried  in  hoga, 
wreathing  nn  tlieir  stomachs  through  tba 
mire,  or  wading  up  the  bums,  and  adl  this

either  by  means  of  a  linglc  throb  of  the

uf  the  deer,  which  would  take  htm  in- 
stantly out  of  sight.  Tortoise  rained  Uia 
head  ftlowly,  but  saw  not  tbe  quarry ;  by

Peter  plucked  h!ui  snddeuly  by  Uie  ann,

Scrope's  Art  of  Dter  Sfuiking. 


[J'liy. 


'*  A  very  large  $tag  wu  known  for 
900  3rean  in  the  Moaa>Li*. — a  nugo  of 
monatftini  lying  bctveen  Bad^Doch  and 
Invemen.  He  wan  ilwiiys  Hoen  aloue. 
kerpiag  the  open  plains,  ao  that  b«  was 
nnapproachabte.  He  waa  aJwayc  tltstin- 
guithed  from  all  othera  by  his  immense 
proportions.  About  1777,  Anipis  Mac- 
donald  got  witUib  ibol  of  thui  Urge  stag, 


nailed  Dumh<mor-«  Vinalia,  and  pvuntled 
him  in  the  «houlc1rr  bUdr,  but  hr  ^nt 
away.  In  IHflT,  thirty  yram  nftrr  this, 
the  same  deer  «u  ahnt  at  the  head  of 
Badtfnoeh.  After  a  ininate  examtoatinni 
the  b«)l  of  1777  wa*  found  in  the  left 
ahonlder,  an  inch  under  the  fckin.  which 
still  retjuned  the  mark  of  an  old-AtaQdiag 
pcrforatioD.'' 


Tlie  belief  in  the  extraordinary  longevity  of  the  deer  ii  not  peculiar  to 
Ihc  Hiyhlanils.     A  gentleman  who  attended  the  Duke  of  Saxe  Coboorg's 
hiiii(i4,  irifurmed  Mr.  Scrope  that  he  had  lately  seen,  in  the  moontains  oi 
Tl)iiriii)(ia,  a  stng  of  stupendous  height  and  dimensions,  whose  great  ttgc  is 
qnitc  a  tradition,  having  been  handed  down  from  father  to  son  in  the 
village  from  a  very  remote  and  untraceable  period  of  time,  though  he  .still 
appears  in  full  vigour  :  he  has  long  enjoyed  nn  indemnily^fhc  Duke  Imvlog 
restricted  every  one  from  firing  at  him.     The  woods  arc  of  oak,  and  the 
acorns  are  one  great  cause*  no  doubt,  of  the  large  growth  of  the  German 
deer.*     It48  confidently  asserted  that  a  white  hind  continued  to  be  (teen 
in  Bennlder  for  two  hnudred  years,  and  there  is  at  the  present  time  ahintl. 
which  was  marked  ninety  years  agti.     There  was  also  a  large  hart  welll 
known  in  the  forest  for  seventy  years.     He  was  said  to  carry  eight 
branches.     He  has  disappeared,  however,  during  the  last  three  yearaj 
There  is  now  also  a  hart  which  has  been  remarked  for  many  years  ;    h( 
has  a  peculiar  formation  of  antlers  ;    and  it  is  well  ascertained  that  he 
was  shot  through  the  body  souie  years  ago,  and  in  now  perfectly  recovered  : ' 
a  deer  that  has  been  wounded  has,  ever  after,  his   Ikorns  deformed.     It 
must  however  be  notic(^d,  that,  in   a  tame  state,  or  c<«ifinrd  in  a  park, 
deer  do  not  attain  any  considerahle  ago  ;  and  that  the  keeper  of  Kich> 
mond  Park  (Lucas)  does  not  remember  but  one  that  lived  tri  twenty  years  j , 
and  that  wan  the  Knnp-hill  stng,  turned  out  by  order  of  (ienrge  the  ThirdJ 

Besides  sports  of  this  animating  description,  the  chase  of  the  Woi.rf 
also  was  followed  in  former  times  with  considerable  anlour.     Some  tra-^ 
ditionary  notices  there  are  of  the  destruction  of  the  la^it   wolves  seen  tn 
Sutherland,  consisting  of  four  old   ones  and  their  whelps,   which   wcte 
killed  about  tlie  same  time,  at  three  diJforent  places,  widely  distant  froin^ 
each  other,  and  as  late  as  between  the  years  1G90  and  1 700.     ludeedl 
some  of  tiiesc  dctcjitcd  prowlers  continued  to  ravage  the  Northern  High-^ 
lands  till  the  disappearance  of  the  pine  forests  deprived  tlicm  of  retreat 
and  shelter.     The  last  survivors  of  this  rabid  race  were  destroyed  at 
Achcrmore,  in  Assynt,  in  Halladale,  and  in  (ilen-l^th.     l*|ie  death  of  tbe^_ 
last  wolf  and  her  cubs,  on  the  eastern  coast  of  Sutherland,  was  atteodet^H 
with  some  remarkable  circumstances  :  ^^

them  W05  turned  out  on  the  summits,  which  arc  covercil  with  liry  moss. 
on  which,  it  was  supposed,  they  uuuld  be  able  to  isnb^ist.     In  spite  of  j 
these  failures.  Lord  Fife  wished  to  see  if   the  elinirnuti  wouhl   lire  in  hilj

bis  Into  \tajesty,  however,  having  expressed  a  wi?>h  to  have   them  at 
Wiudsor^  they  were  accordingly  sent  there,  uherc  they  produeed  young 
ones.     A  woodeu  tower  was  built  for  them,  and  they  rated  up  and  down 
it  as  if  they  had  been  among  their  native  rocks,     'i'hey  died  from  liaving-J 
eaten  some  poisonous  herb ;  so  that,  on  all  ncroimts,  it  is  much  to  bQf 
regretted  thul  they  were  not  sent  originnlly  to  the  Marr  forest. t 

There  is  towards  the  close  of  tlie  volume  a  very  inteiestiug  account  by 
Mr.  Macneil^  of  Colonsay,  of  the  Highland  deer-hound — the  Cants  KMa-l 
tkm,  celerrhnvs.  audacissimus^e, — a   title   he   still   preserves,  tlmiigh  bjtl 
race,  like  the  race  of  all  other  heroes,  in  these  dnys,  is  hastening  laj 
decay.     Lc  cfiien  tfttns  jteur  et  sans  reprodw,  like  tlic  Chev-alicr  of  the  saroef 
title,  will  soon,  we  fear,  be  known  only  in   the  records  of  history:  and  I 
Bu&kar  and   Bayard  will  be  the  last  of  their  respective  grncalogtes.     It 
appears   that  the  Highland  deer-hound  and  the   celebrated  Irisli    wolf» 
dog  ore  the  same  J  :  at  nn  early  period  these  dogs  were   know'n  bv  the 
same  Celtic  name,  Miot  chil,  a  tradition  still  prev^iiling  among  the  High 
landers  that    a   much   larger   species  of  deer    than   the  preaent  fnrnwrl] 
existed  on    their  hilU,  which    they  called    Miol    ^Klk  ?  )     Kvclyu,  in  hi| 
Diary  in  1670,  says — "The  bulls,  (i.  e.  bull-dogs),  did  cxcerdingly  well 
but  the    Irish  tcol/dog  exceeded,  which    was  »  tall  grryhound,  u   stiilolj

preaMrd  him  hard,  and  the  deer,  getting 
cau(uM:d,  found  bimaelf  suddculy  on  tbe 
briali  of  a  Kiuall  precipice,  of  about  four- 
teen feet  in  height,  from  the  bottum  of

afraid  to  take  the  leap,  but  tbe  doga  were 
■o  doie  that  there  waa  uu  alternative. 
At  thia  time  tbe  party  were  not  more  than 
one  hundred  and  fiftr  yards  distant,  and 
moit  anxiously  waited  the  result,  fearing, 
from  the  ruggednea*  of  the  grtrand  below, 
that  tbe  deer  would  not  snrrive  tbe  leap. 
Tbey  were,  bowever,  bood  relieved  from 
tbeir  anxiety  ;  for  though  be  took  the 
leap,  be  did  ko  more  cuuuingly  than 
gallantly,  drojiping  himiteir  in  (lie  most 
nngnlar  nuuuier,  »o  that  bis  hind  legs 
first  reached  lbs  broken  rocks  behind : 
nor  wore  the  dogs  long  in  following  him.

to  relate,  did  not  lose  bia  Icgi,  Bran 
followed  ;  and  ou  reaching  tbe  ground 
performed  a  complete  Bomemt.  He 
soon,  buwever,  reouvored  bis  legs ;  aud 
the  chase  waa  continued  in  an  oUique 
direction  down  the  aide  of  a  moat  rocky 
and  ragged  brae  :  the  deer  ap|urcolly 
more  frcah  and  Dimbjp  than  ever,  jumping

eand  hilts,  the  resort  of  uumeroua 
rabbits.  The  waters  of  the  Tave  at 
lAugbarne  are  diminished  on  the  ebb 
title  to  a  very  narrow  channel,  forda- 
ble  under  direction  of  an  experienced 
guide,  and  leaving  long- extended 
sands  ;  •  frequented  by  innumerable 
nights  of  gulls  and  other  aquatic 
birds ;  the  cormorant  and  the  heron 
arc  constant  inhabitants  of  these 
waters,  to  which  in  the  winter  season 
vast  quantities  of  ducks,  teal,  gecae, 
and  otlier  migratory  fowl  resort. 

It  has  been  before  obsenrcd,  that 
Laugharne  could  not  be  unknown  to 
the  Romans.  Carausius,  the  naval 
commander  and  uBuri)er  of  the  impe- 
rial purple,  had  probably  a  fort  here; 
aa  urn  containing  several  of  his  coina 
was  found  some  y(?ars  since  in  a 
garden  adjoining  to  Laugharne  csAlle; 
and  in  a  natural  cavern  at  Cyngadel. 
a  )>at>s  through  the  cliff*  westward  of 
Laugharne,  a  Bacrificial  censer  or  thu- 
ribulutn  of  bronze  was  discovered, 
containing  many  coins  of  Carausius. 
This  relic  is  in  the  possession  of  the 
widow  of  the  late  Mr.  Skyrme  of 
Laugharne,  and  is  a  t>cautilul  speci- 
men of  British  workmanship. 

Ttie  foundation  of  Laugharne  caalle, 
on  tlie  ruins  perhaps  of  the  Roman 
fort,  is  ascribed  to  Rhys  ap  Gryffydh. 
the  last  of  the  princes  of  South  Wales, 
who.  after  many  vigorous  efforts  for 
the  iiidt*|ii<nde|ice  of  his  couotiy,  be- 
came tiibutiiry  to  Henry  11.  Hot* 
he  met  and  did  homage  to  that  mo- 
narch on  his  retuin  from  bis  expedi- 
tion into  Ireland,  A-O.  n72.  The 
approach  to  the  principal  gate  of  the 
fortress  is  still  to  lliia  day  called  King 
Street,  In  commemoration  perhaps  of 
this  royal  visit.  The  hall  and  keep 
tower  of  Laugharne  castle  may  pre- 
tend to  09  early  a  date,  and  it  la  r*-

mui  kDight  MaipurtlU,  who  probably 
possessed  that  fortress,  of  which  there 
are  some  remains  near  the  high  road 
from  LaugharDP  to  Teoby ;  aod  Pom- 
moa/t  *  take  is  found  in  the  charter  of 
Guido  de  Brian  to  the  borgeases  of 
Laugharne.  Such,  as  the  antiquary 
has  ao  often  occasion  to  obeerre,  is  the 
tenacity  of  names. 

Afler  the  death  of  Henry  H.  the 
warlike  spirit  of  Rhys  ap  Gryffydh 
again  broke  forth ;  according  toGiraU 
das  Cambrensis  he  took  the  castlrs  of 
Lanatephan  andTalacbar(Laagharne) 
by  assault,  and  laid  waste  the  pro* 
vmces  of  Pembroke  and  Ross  by  fire 
and  sword,  but  failed  in  a  similar  at- 
tempt OD  Caermarthen. 

Lewellyn  ap  Jorveth»  Prince  of 
North  Wales,  prosecuted  a  series  of 
military  incursions  with  great  vigour 
into  South  Wales  in  the  reign  of 
Henry  HI.  It  was  at  this  period 
that  Gay  de  Brian  became  distin- 
guished as  one  of  those  marcher  lords 
who.  establishing  themselves  on  the 
frontiers  and  sea  coast  of  Whales,  and 
raising  fortresses  to  command  the 
communications  of  the  country,  kept 
the  native  Cambrian  princes  in  check, 
acquiring  for  themselves  what  territo- 
ry they  might  by  dint  of  the  sword, 
and  exercising  within  the  limits  of  the 
possessions  thus  won,  the  rights  of 
lords  paramount,  with  which  the 
Crown  did  not  interfere.  Guy  de 
Brian  appears  to  have  sided  with  the 
barons  who  rebelled  against  Henry 
HI.  lliey  committed  to  his  charge  as  a 
man  of  influence  and  authority  in 
South  Wales,  the  castles  of  Caerdi'gan. 
Caermarthen,  and  Kilgcran  ;  he  re- 
turned however  to  his  allegiance,  and 
was  received  into  the  confidence  of  Ihe 
King. 

He  held,  probably  by  grant  from 
the  Crown,  the  castle  and  royal  de- 
mesne of  Laugharne  by  the  military 
service  of  finding  two  men  at  arms 
with  horses  all  properly  equipped,  or 


eight  armed  soldierv  on  foot,  to  Iw 
maintained  in  the  field  three  days  for 
the  king  at  bis  proper  cost,  oo  re- 
ceiving due  notice  from  the  bailiff  of 
Caermarthen.  He  espoused  Eve,  the 
sole  daughter  of  Henry  de  Tracy,f  by 
whom  he  bad  ao  only  daaghtcr,  who 
married  Geoffreyde  Cauovile;^  aod  by 
a  second  wife,wbose  name  is  uokoowo, 
a  son.  He  died  in  the  thirty-fifth 
year  of  the  reign  M  Edward  I.  A.  D. 
1307,  and  was  succeeded  in  his  pos- 
sessions by  Gay,  bis  heir  above-named, 
who  married  Gwentbelian,  daughter 
of  Gryffydb^p  Lloyd. (  This  appears 
to  have  been  the  Guy  Brian  desig- 
nated as  mimvr  or  the  younger,  who 
granted  the  charter  of  privilrgr4  and 
incorporation  to  the  burgeues  t>fLma§~

IN  the  June  number  of  yonr  Maga- 
zine you  have  noticed  at  considerable 
length  Mr.Tytler's  recent  work  oo  the 
History  of  Kngtand  during  the  reigns 
of  Edward  VI.  and  Queen  Mary ;  and 
in  HU  doing  have  entitled  yourself  to 
the  thanks  of  alt  your  reaflcrs,  since 
it  cannot  be  doubted  that  niaoy  vcara 
have  elapsed  since  a  work  equally  in* 
trresliug  to  the  K(>:  Ul,   has 

appeared.    At  the  a  l  iwevrr.

Utily, 


queot  writers  against  adopting  Mr. 
Tytler's  coDclusions,  that,it  will  not,  1 
feel  persuaded,  ncem  stiangc  that  the 
luver  of  historic  truth  should  anxiously 
beg  to  b«  supplied  with  a  few  exam- 
ples of  Mr. Tytler's  unfair  tofereoces — 
a  few  proofs  that  his  book  ia  not  to  b« 
relied  on. 

The    two    principal    characters    to 
which  your  reviewer  has  directed  the 
reader's  critical  attention,  are  those  of 
Somerset  and  Cecil.     As  my  object  Is 
to  ascertain  how  far  Mr.  Tytler.  as  an 
historian,  is  to  be  relied  on,  and  not  to 
defend  hini,  I  shall  offer  no  comment  J 
on  the  storlling  assertion  that  be  "  isi 
very  charitable  in  his  consideration  ofl 
great  people,"  though   your  reviewer 
condemns  him  for  defending  Somerset  i 
at  the  expense  of  the  Admiral  ;  who,  J 
you  must  be  aware,  was  as  great,   ia  ' 
his  way,  as  Somerset.     Your  reviewer 
also  condemns  Mr.  Tytler  for  depre- 
ciating Cecil,  and  Cecil  was  a  gteatrr 
man  than  either. 

1  see  DO  grounds  whatever  for  differ- 
ing from  Mr.  Tytler  in  his  estimate  of 
Somerset's  character,  nor  has  your 
reviewer  couched  hia  reasons  for  so 
doing  io  terms  which  enable  a  reader 
to  understand  precisely  what  those 
reasons  are.  In  other  words  he  con- 
demns Mr.  Tytler's  inferences  without 
disproving  them.  On  the  subject  of 
Cecil,  however,  he  is  more  explicit, 
and  states  that  Mr.  Tytler  has  drawn 
an  unfair  inference  from  a  very  re- 
markable document  which  (unfortu- 
nately, I  confess,  for  what  "  we  have 
been  told  from  childhood."}  states  that 
Cecil  received  mass  and  confcsged  at 
Wimbledon  in  1556:  Mr.  Tytler's  in- 
ference from  that  documint  being,  that 
Cecil  conformed  ouLwafdIy  during 
Queen  Mary's  reign  to  the  Roman 
Catholic  religion.  Now,  Sir,  1  thought 
it  was  a  very  wtll  understood  thingi 
that  Cecil  did  cu&fnrm  ;  and  in  sup- 
port of  this  statement  I  1""  I'^vr  tnl

requested  its  insertion  in  the  Merevre,.^ 
a  periodical  of  aome  reputation.  Thiaf<l 
however,    the   editor,    De    la    Roc|ue,1 
poailivcly  refused,  and  indeed  declined^ 
receiving  any  more  of  his  cornmunira.-l 
tioDB.     If  Deaforgcs,  in  the  extraorcti*

He  conceived  the  idea  of  personating 
a  female  authoress^  and  of  giving  his

Of  course  it  was  necessary  to  assume 
a  diflereut  name  from  his  own,  and 
this  he  took  from  a  vineyard  called

Memoir  of  M.  Desfvrgea  Maiihrd. 


[Jttiv* 


tn  a  ftliorl  time  the  prai»es  of  thf  Bre- 
ton aathoress  were  Ja  everybody's 
mouth,  and  she  was  bailed,  by  the 
po«t*  of  the  day,  b§  a  teoLh  muer. 
The  criticism,  wbii-h  would  Itave 
blasted  the  real  author,  was  dumb 
when  a  lady  waa  believed  to  be  in  ibe 
case.  DestoQches  addressed  some 
complimentary  lioes  to  her  in  the  some 
periodical,  as  also  did  Bcveral  others, 
and  CTCD  Voltaire  complimented  ber 
through  that  channel^  in  tome  lines 
beginning, 

Tui  ilunt  U  roil  briUante  a  viM  sur   nos 
rife*. — 

ThoUf  wfaoM  deUghtfol  song, 
Flutters  oar  shores  along. 

So  far,  tbcrc  was  no  great  harm  done, 
jtcciit  tbc  compromise  of  tniib,  which 
gbt  not  to  be  tampered  with,  on  any 
count.  The  situation  of  the  poet 
was  ridiculous  enough,  to  any  one  who 
was  in  the  secret ;  but  to  De  la  Roqae. 
the  editor  of  the  Mcrcure,  the  conse- 
quences were  quite  pitifnl.  He  be- 
came violently  enamoared  of  the  fair 
mJbioipn,  and,  as  he  was  o  bachelor, 
determined  on  making  her  an  offer  of 
marriage.  How  to  address  her  was 
the  difficulty,  as  he  had  no  direct 
means  of  communicating  with  her: 
be  therefore  resolved  on  doing  so 
through  the  hltrcurtt  and  inserted  a 
declaration  to  that  effect  ;  part  of  it 
was  thus  expressed:  "Je  voos  aime, 
belle  Bretonne;  pardonnez  raoi  cet 
a»eu,  mais  le  mot  est  lachtf." — I  love 
you,  fair  Breton  ;  forgive  me  this 
avowal,  but  the  word  hu  esc^wd 
me. 

Whether  Dcsforgcs  thought  it  was 
DOW  high  time  to  impose  on  the  world 
DO  longer,  or  whether  (  as  M.  Dela- 
porte  says,)  he  had  grown  tired  of 
acting  a  part,  he  declared  himself  to 
be  the  author  of  the  poetry  which  had 
been  so  much  admired.  The  result 
of  this  acknowlctlguieDt  astonished 
everybody,  but  tu  himac-lf  it  must  have 
been  deeply  mortifying.  When  the 
female  ma»k  was  taken  off  the  idol, 
the  charm  was  gone.  Tbc  verse*, 
which  had  been  so  highly  extolled. 
now  sank  below  mediocrity  in  public 
estimation.  Hint  it  mui(  be  nwoed,  that 
sudi  wa«  their  rrat  vnlue.  It  \%  now 
agreed,  that  his  Ktvie  was  prolix,  alul 
wanlvd  taaiu.  The  adventura  fur- 
oished  Piruu  with  the  tubject  of  his 
3 


Me/romamV,  and  thus  Deaforges  waa 
condemned  to  a  reputation  he  would 
never  otherwise  have  attained.  It  is 
remarkable,  that  he  was  a  member  of 
the  provincial  academies  of  Anger<i, 
Caen,  La  Rochctlc,  and  Nancy,  a  ci 
cumstaoce  which  certainly  tends 
rate  the  privilege  of  their  admissi 
very  low. 

Desforges  deserves  some  credit^  for 
a  rvndineai   of   mind,   which  turned 
everything  to  account.      Having  be- 
come acquainted  with  Voltaire,  in  hia 
assumed  character,  he  endeavoured  to 
make  an  advantageous  use  of  the  i 
troduction.       He  was  desirous  of 
taining  an  appointment,  which  was 
the    gift   of   the    comptroller-gene 
with  which  view,  he  wrote  to  Voltaire^ 
to  secure  his  interest.      Voltaire  pro- 
mised to  do  his  best  to   procure  him 
the  appoiatment,  concluding  hi?  letter 
with  these   words,  which    Desforges 
had  no  right  to  complain  of,  thoogh 
they  may  have  touchetl  him  close; — 
"Trop    hcureux    ai    je    puis   obtei 
qnelquechoae  du   Phtut  de  Veriai 
en  faveur  de  i'ApoUo — (|e  Bretagne. 
Too  happy   if  I   can  obtain  anything 
from  the  Plutut  of  Versailles  in  /iavor 
of  the  ApoUo  of  Britanny. 

Desforges  died  in  1772.       He  pub- 
lished Poems  of  Mile.  Malcrai.t  de  la 
Vignc.  1735.     Verses  in  French  am 
Latin    on  the  taking   of  Bergcn-uj

The  following  specimen  of  hia  poe.

Ttffni  Ytthti  narratione,  tx  majoribug 
cotMoum/ariiM  frtpvKntvmj  Pvist   1615, 

Bto." 

Such  rathe  account ^-hich  M.Goube 
has  given  in  his  History  of  Normandj*. 
The  objections  of  Vertol  nre  not  en- 
tirely conclnsive;  for  1.  Neutitrta  is 
a  vague  term,  and  M.  (loubc  (vo).  i. 
p.  30)  includes  it  in  the  dominioDs 
of  Clotaire ;  and  as  M.  Teuliercs  ob- 
serves, there  is  no  settled  opinion  as 
to  the  positive  boundary  to  be  assigned 
to  the  kingdom!  of  Aufttrasia  and  Nena- 
tria.  (NttuvtUtt  Gengraphif,  p.  163.) 
a.  The  death  nf  Agapetus  is  placed  in 
636,  but  great  exactoeBs  of  calculation 
la  not  to  be  required  in  these  casc8» 
nor  would  the  mistake  of  a  pope's 
name  invnlidate  the  story.*  3.  Gaguin, 
as  cited  by  M.  Goube»  does  not  eay 
that  the  act  was  dftted  by  tlie  ^ear  of 
grace,  but  that  it  happened  in  the 
year  of  grace  .S36,  i.  e.  according  to 
the  present  mode  of  computation. 
4.  Although  fiefs  may  not  usually 
have  been  hereditary  at  that  timcj  the 
narrative  is  not  materially  affected  by 
the  argument,  for  the  practice  may 
have  commenced  in  this  instance. 
The  silence  of  cootemporarr  historians 
IB  certainly  unfavournble.  though  not 
insuperably  so ;  at  least  the  story  Is 
but  too  conformable  to  Clotaire's  cha- 
racter. In  Uatignani'H  Guide  through 
France,  p.  Gi'S,  it  in  eaid,  without  re- 
ferring to  any  authority,  that  "  this 
prince  and  the  aforc&aid  lord  wer« 
not  contemporaries,  and  consequently 
the  tale  deserves  no  credit/* 

As  might  be  expected,  the  French 
historians  are  divided  on  the  subject, 
but  the  propooderancc  is  against  it. 
President  Henault  thinks  it  wortli  al- 
luding to,  but  merely  says,  at  the  year 
^34,  "  The  Rupposcd  kingdom  of 
Yvetot  is  placed  in  this  year."  Lcnglet 
Dufresnoy,  in  his  ChrooologYt  trrata 
it  aft  "a  mere  fable,"  but  adtli,  that 
"The  land  of  Yvetot  has  long  been  a 
froMc-alfti."     M.  Beauvats,  in  his  va,- 


luable   Dicttonnaire  Historique,  (ait, 
Gautibr)  says, that"  the  popecrectei 
Yvetot  into  a  kingdom,  but  the  cir 
cumatance  ts  not  incontestable."    Tin 
Abbo  Macquer,  in  tiis  Ahr^yt  Chronnlo- 
ffiquriir r ffutoirc  ErrlttiaKtique  (draw 
up  on  the  plan  of  Henault)  makes  no 
mention  of  it.     It  is  also  pasted  over 
by  Guyot,  ina  History  of  France,  com- 
posed fur  the  platci  of  F.  A.  Oavid,  a 
work  particularly  severe  on  the  crimes 
of  the   French   Kinga.  and  where   wo 
mi^ht  naturally  expect  to  have  foun 
it,  if  the  wiitcr  had  not  thought  fit ' 
omit  it. 

Mr.   Denuvais  (art.  GacTiER)  has 
meutioQcdaome  other  workf.  to  which 
the  reader  may  refer*  who  is  dispnscU

from  which  the  cover  waa  auspcodMl 
by  a  cord  and  pulley,  when  the  font 
was  used,  acircunistaocewbich  makes 
it  not  ualikely  that  the  cover  was  moa- 
sive,  and  handsomelv  carved. 

Attached  to  the  wall  of  the  baptistery 
pew  18  a  covered  shelf  for  charity 
bread.  But  the  thricc-loclccd  "  Poore 
Mcnnes  Boxc/'  with  a  bole  through 
the  top,  ordered  by  James  the  First  to 
be  fastened  up  in  every  church,  and 
which,  we  believe,  fiboald  still  remain, 
has  been,  in  these  times  of  compuU 
iior>-  charity,  removed,  as  oo  longer 
necessary. 

The  pulpit  aud  rcading-deiKs  arc 
coDVeniently  situateil  on  the  euutli  aide 
of  the  uave,  and  werv?  probably  put  up, 
as  moat  of  our  wooden  pulpits  were,  in 
the  early  part  of  James  the  ?'irsl'« 
reign.  Thia  pulpit  is  neatly  mode  of 
wainscot,  and  is  of  hexagonal  form, 
aa  well  as  the  sounding. board,  n  hand- 
Bomcly  inlaid  piece  uf  joinery,  pro- 
jecting from  the  capital  of  au  oaken 
fluted  pita«ter  attached  to  the  wall. 
The  pulpit  cloth  and  cushion  ore  of 
blue  velvet,  now  much  faded  ;  but  the 
books  are  in  good  condition,  being 
almost  new.  and  are  of  the  full  size, 
enjoined  by  the  cnnoos  so  to  be. 

The  pews  extend  00  both  sides  from 
near  the  west  end  td  the  altar  raita. 
They  are  of  one  height ,  but  of  irregu  lar 
dimensions,  and  mostly  of  plain  deal 
or  bccchen  ponclUog.  their  cods  being 
painted  to  represent  wainscot.  All 
nave  boarded  tloors,  and  two  have 
Yroollen  liningM.  and  comfortable 
cuahiona  and  hassocks,  with  which 
latter  accomodation,  adopted  first 
when  church  Qoors  ceased  to  be

of  iron,  and  kept  at  the  vicar's  resi-

the  year  15(J3.

high,  of  Richard  Lovelace.  Esquire, 
and  Sir  Uichard  Lovelace  his  son ;  but 
both  now  literally  totter  on  their  knees. 
The  finit  is  "  habited,"  as  Ashmole 
merely  says,  *'  in  the  fuhion  of  his 
timefi,"  in  a  close  doublet  witb  uleeves, 
aod  fastened  d^wo  the  front  uf  the 
body  with  buttons  and  lonpo,  but 
fiaiihing  just  aliuve  the  kneco  in  full 
rooad  skirts.  About  the  neck  and 
wrists  are  small  rutfi,  his  hair  being 
closely  cut.  but  bis  btard  and  musta- 
chica  arc  long.  lie  holds  his  right 
baaU  on  his  brea&t,  and  his  left  hand, 
from  its  position,  probably  held  a 
skull.  Sir  Richard  is  "  gallantly 
irmed."  having  over  bis  doublet  a  su/t 
(/  the  p)«te  MTinour  peculiar  to  bis

get,  a  cuirass  with  skirts  of  overlapping 
plates  called  tassets,  the  garde  de 
reincs.  and  "  cuiascs  on  his  thighs," 
with  cpauldrons.  brassarts,  elbow- 
pieces,  and  varobraces  upon  his  arms. 
lie  also  has  a  ruff  and  closely  cut  hair, 
but  his  beard  is  pointed,  like  that  of 
other  cavaliers,  and  of  their  Sovereign 
Charles  Ibe  First.  The  right  arm 
hangs  by  his  side,  but  the  other  fore- 
arm, and  the  hilt  of  a  sword  which 
was  suapcnded  by  a  narrow  belt  diago- 
nally across  the  hips,  havedisappeored. 
Above  them,  respectively,  arc  these  in- 
scriptions, in  badly  engraved  gilt  roman 
capitals  : 

"  Richard  LotcIicc,  tone  of  John  Love- 
Ucr,  K<itiuire,  lived  vcrtuou»ly,  and  de-

and  piojccling  only  a  little  from  tho

Comment  on  Sftahpean's  Henry  VIII* 


hah\y  it  vru,  may  be  considered  an 
early  cxnmplc  oftiie  rena.i.H<iant  Roman 
or  Italian  style,  and  perhaps  from  ade- 
ftign  of  the  celebrated  John  of  Fadua. 
The  io^criptioQ  recording  the  lady's 
death  was  probably  aildcd  afterwards, 
as  the  wingB  certainly  were,  if  wc  may 
so  jadge  by  their  ruder  workmanship, 
compared  to  that  of  the  centre,  from 
which  they  have  been  evidently  imi- 
tated, It  would  seem,  moreover,  from 
the  omiMion  of  the  date  of  Sir  Rich- 
ard's death,  that  these  wings  were  put 
up  by  him,  after  his  money-making 
expeditions  with  Sir  Francis  Drake, 
and  before  liis  ennoblement  in  \G2T. 
He  did  not,  however,  flatter  the 
*•  Spirit  of  his  sire,"  or  himself,  by 
emptoyinK  the  best  »rtt«t9of  his  time  ; 
nor  have  his  succesftnr*  evinced  more 
ta^te  by  their  beautificalioas  of  this 
monument ;  its  ^hieldiD  and  ct  est  having 
been  incorrectly  emblazoned  as  above 
described,  and  the  Hgures  and  mould- 
ings  painted  with  coano  distemper 
coToors.  Plantaqenct,

Mb.  Ukd&n,  Cork,  30th  April. 
IN  your  Magazine  for  October  last, 
p.  3B1.  I  pointed  out  aorae  glaring 
nistohcol  oversights  that  bad  inci. 
dcDtally  struck  mc  in  the  commenta- 
tors of  Shakspcare ;  botoa  these  errors 
proceeded  from  pcnons  rather  devoted 
to  old  Enfitish  literntore,  or  black-let- 
ter lore,  than  to  European  annnU  or 
general  history,  their  misreprescota- 
lions  of  facts  did  not  so  much  surprise 
me  ;  nor  did  I  sc^k,  as  1  might  easiljr 
have  done,  by  a  further  reference  to 
the  tame  source,  to  swell  the  cata- 
logue, of  which !  presented  you  a  speci- 
men. Hut  a  recent  compoiition, 
"  i>hak»p*^r*»  lUihriral  Piayt  hinhri- 
roWy  rovtiderrti,"  by  the  Rt.  Hon.  Th. 
P.  Courti-nay,  ptiblinhcd  succeasively 
in  the  AW  Monthly  Magmiite.  and  ap- 
parently concluded  in  the  number  of 
that  periodical  for  the  past  month, 
arrogates  higher  prctensinns,  and  chaK 
tengcnmoie  distinct  notice,  whenever 
aberrant  (as  rarely,  indeed,  happens,'! 
from  its  profeiircd  acrutacy.  An  op. 
ptiftunity,  morcorer,  is  thus  oOfered  of 
d«(\ping  the  sense  and  application  of 
an  flmhigaooa  epithet  in  the  great 
port ;  and,  when  a  doubt  as  to  hia 
timinin;  arises,  which  Mr.  Courte. 
nay's  in(>coac«pUoa  of  It  soflkleotly 


shows  may  be  the  case,  the  elucidation, 
however  minute  the  object  may  wem,  ^1 
will  not,   1  trust,  be  deemed' super- ^| 
lluQUs  or  unworthy  of  attempt.  ™ 

In  Act.  H.  scene  2  of  Shak^pcare's 
Henry   VIII.    the    Duke  uf  Norfolk, 
addressing  the  Duke  of  Suffolk,  relative 
to  the  share  attributed  to  Wolscy   la  ^J 
Henry's  scheme  of  divorce,  says,  fpaf^e  ^|

"  Hov  holily  he  works  in  alt  bis  biuiueca  1 
And   nith  what  zeal  I  For,   now  he  has 

cracked  the  leagut: 
Between  as  and  the  Emperor,  the  Queen'a 

great  nephew,"  iic 

To  these  last  words  "  the  Emperor  J 
the  Queen's ^rea/  nephew,"  Mr.  Cour-1 
tenay  subjoins   an  explanatory  note,] 
signifying  that  the  monarch  rcferrejj 
to  was  "  Maximilian,  the  grandson  of 
Philip  of  Austria  and  Joanna  the  sister  j 
of  Cothariuc/*     And.  doubtless,  UitiJ 
Moxiiuilian  (second  oftlie  name)  stood] 
iu  the  expressed  degree  of  relation  to 
Catharine  ;  but  it  is  equally  certain, 
that  it  was  not  that  sovereign  whom 
Shakspcare  contemplated  on  the  oc- 
casion J  for  at  the  period  embraced  in 
this  act  of  the  drama,  oamely   1S29, 
the  Austrian  prince  was  in  his  eradir, 
only  two  years  old,  and  did  not  become 
emperor  until  15til,   nn   the   death  of 
his     father     Ferdinand,     Catharioe'a 
younger  nephew,  thirty-five  years  sub- 
sequently, when  all  the  actors  in   the 
scene,  Henry.  Catharine,  and  Wolsey, 
had  long  deported  from  the  theatre  of 
life.     The  poet's  allusion  was  clearly 
to   the  Iilroperor  Charles  V.  the  raust 
powerful  monarch  uf  his  time,  or  since  i 
the    age    of  hta   prrdeccssor  Charlf. 
magne ;  and,  as  such,  well  entitled  to 
the  designation  of  tjretit,  adjuiacd  tu 
his    quality    of  Catharine's   nephew,] 
being  her  sister  Joanna's  son.       It   i»,j 
therefore,  in  this  obvious  acceptation,] 
equivalent  to   powcrt'u).   that   the  cx-j 
pression  must  be  intci  preted,  and  not 
as  the  right  honourable  commentator 
ha-i    viewed    it.   as  distinctive  of  tlwi 
relative  kindred  of  the  Queen  and  Em-| 
peror     Indeed,  I  much  d  .nVt  m  Iicther,

it  mu6t  be  added,  that  he  not  only  fa.

he  wrote  or  dictated  the  poetical  por-

Triumphs  of  Maximiiian, — Dr.  Oibtim, 


millnn's  patronige  of  the  arU  still 
likewise  attract  tbeailmiratloD  orbook^ 
collectors. — 0«i»,  entitled,  "  Treit«- 
Baarwein  (Mark)  der  weias  Kunig ; 
cine  erzAlilunft,"  &c.  composed  of  237 
wood  engttiviugft,  prepared  by  order 
of  this  Kni|>i-ror,  was  not  published 
until  1775.  by  Maria  Teresa,  at  Vi- 
fona,  and,  subsequently,  by  the  late 
James  Kdwardg  in  1799- — The  o/Aer 
IB  the  celebrated  "  Triumphs  of  Max- 
imilian/' originally  in  67  plates^  but 
which  the  same  enterprising  book- 
seller republished,  with  the  impress  of 
Vienna  and  London,  in  1796,  and  ex- 
planations in  French,  under  the  title 
of  "  Los  Triompbcs  de  I'Enipereur 
Maximilien  1*^."  The  number  of  plates 
in  this  edition  amounts  to  13C}. 

Tlie  Rev.  Doctor  Dibdin  was  de- 
lighted with  the  view  of  the  Emperor's 
own  copy  of  the  cxcccdiii{j;ly  rare  lirst 
edition  of  tbcTewrdonneth.oo  vellum, 
which  he  describes  in  his  "Tour  in 
France  aod  Germany,  vol-  iti.  p.  339." 
Shortly  after,  however,  the  leaiued 
Tuuribt  commits  an  error,  not  inferior 
to  that  of  Nfr.  Courtcnoy.  "  Here,"  be 
cays,  page  360.  "  rode  Maximilian  ; 
Bnd  therp  halletl  Charles  hii  ron." 
Now   1    need   scarcely    observe,    that 


Charles  was  the  yrandton,  not  son  of 
Maxinitlian  ;  and  yet  this  misrepre- 
sentation is  suffered  to  pass  uncor- 
rected  m  the  second  edition  of  the 
Tour,  which  1  have  quoted.  But  the 
reverend  author,  to  whom  our  biblio- 
graphy is  6o  much  indebted,  is,  it 
must  be  cuufcysed.  more  ardent  than 
exact,  and  more  zealous  than  profound. 
Always  eotertnining,  and  sore  to  in- 
spire pleasure,  he  ia  by  no  means 
equally  successful  in  impressing  con- 
fidence, as  Brunei,  Crapelet,  and  other 
continental  hitilioi^rnphvrn  have  clearly 
proved ;  and,  indeed,  as  1  have,  aa 
more  occasions  than  one»  more  esM. 
cially  in  reference  to  the  lirst  edition 
of  his  Libror^-  Companion,  taken  the 
liberty  of  indicating  to  himself.  No 
corre»])ondent  of  his.  I  may  safely  af- 
firm, so  largely  contributed  to  the 
amendmentof  that  edition;  but,  though 
then  profuse  in  acknowledgements,  and 
pledges  of  avowal,  bis  Reminiiet-ncfB, 
full  of  grateful  retributions  to  others, 
pass  in  silence  obligations,  equal  in 
number  and  value.  I  could  easily  de- 
moiistrate,  to  all  that  be  collectively 
owed  elicwhere.  It  was  in  Augu»t 
1824,  that  I  addressed  my  obftrrratioui  I 
to  the  reverend  Doctor.*

Gibbon,  inhi«  letter  to  Dr.  PriettJey  of 
aa  Jaooary  1783,  erroneously  refers  to 
the  volnmc  of  Scrvttuu,  "  £h  IHni- 
talif  ErruribuM."  for  that  unhappy 
man's  celebrated  passa^  on  the  circa- 
Intion  of  the  blood,  which  is  only  to 
be  found  in  the  "  Chtialianisroi  ilesti. 
tutio"  of  thai  author.  Gibbon  was 
deceived  by  Chauflrpic'.  (See  Gentle, 
man's  Magazine  for  August  1833.) 
But  a^ain,  I  feel  that  1  have  divciged 
from  my  original  purpoM? — "  the  eluci- 
dation of  our  great  bnrd."  almost  be- 
yond indnlgcncc;  and  thouch  in  his 
words,  "  I  may  example  my  digression

IN  several  of  yoar  laic  numbers,  the 
attention  of  your  readers  has  been 
called  to  the  peculiarities  of  those  ex- 
traordinary languages. — the  Welsh  awl 
Irish.  Some  of  these  peculiarities  may, 
I  think,  be  placed  in  a  light,  that  will 
affbid  useful  hints  to  the  Celtic  scholar, 
and,  at  the  samp  time^  be  not  olloge- 
thcr  without  ioiereit  to  the  English 
antiquary.  Will  you  allow  roe  to  ask, 
through  your  coluroru,  bow  is  it  that, 
when  a  Celtic  name  of  place  takes  a 
permuted  letter,  the  corre.'tpanding 
Knglish  name  so  very  generally  exhi- 
bits the  primitive  ^ 

I'or  example,  Pembroke  or  Penbroka. 
as  it  was  written  till  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury, is  tJie  Welsh  Prnrro.  This  com- 
pound si}i;nifir6  n  headland,  and  its 
elements  are  pm».  a  head,  and  frro,  a 
land,  lira  is  cicailya  corruption  of 
6r«;i.  a  land,  a  country.  (Bull.  Diet. 
Cell.)  Tliis  acconots  for  the  tof  Pem- 
broke— but  how  can  we  explain  the 
substitution  of  6  for  r  ?  Was  the  word 
introduced  into  our  language  btfore 
the  laws  of  permutation  were  generally 
adopted  in  Welsh  componodd? 

Azain.  /)«i6/f's, as iswcllknown. means 
lhcl)Iack-water,--aDameformtTly  given 
to  the  Liffey,  The  elements  of  this  com- 
pound ate  dHtifh,  black,  and  linn,  water. 
Now  the  bh  of  tittiLfi  is  a  pcimulatioa 
of  ft,  and  is  pronounced  r, — why  in 
our  English  nanie  do  we  replace  ther 
by  bt  The  difficulty  iu  this  case  is 
iua  greater,  hecauee  at  first,  we  adopted 
the  Iriih  permutation,  and  called  the 
place  Pi/r-lin  or  nirtUnt.    Th»  fortncc

lieve,  that  most  of  these  letters  were 
lost  at  a  period  long  subsequent  to  the 
Anglo-Saxon  zra.  Many  of  tliein, 
indeed,  though  they  have  disappeared 
frnm  some,  arc  to  be  found  in  others 
of  the  Celtic  dialects.  TbU3  the  Welsh 
n  a  king,  is  in  the  Irish  ri^A,  though 
sometimes  written  ri,  even  in  that 
dialect.  So  also  the  Welsh  ti,  n  house.

"  in  the  British  tongue  ligt^uocrubnur, 
but  in  the  Latin  «7ie/irncrtnnnr/i)fnw,  the

a  name  is  obvious  to  all  who  know 
the  locality,  thcwhole  rockon  whichthc

Now  ti,  a  house,  makes  teau  in  the

adjective,  signifyi  ngabound  ing  in  caves.

Were  these  investigations  carried  to 
a  sntficicnt  extent,  they  might  serve  as 
a  gauge  to  test  the  revolutions  of  the 
Celtic  ;  anil  would,  in  some  degree,  aid

who  RKMt  probjibly  was  qualified  to  direct 
Che  ojterativt$  as  to  tho  eostame  of  tbe 
period.  It  is  obKrvable  that  Harold  ia 
calird  Dt'x  prmously  to  the  etceiie  of  hts

4.  I  could  cite  namcrnus  instances 
of  tbe  unccrioiniy  vrhicb  prevails  as 
lo  the  dutes  of  ancient  illuminated 
manuscripts,  and  of  the  assuropttuns 
in  point  of  cobtumc  which  have  ariaen 
from  that  Bource.  Two  iiistancea,  by 
way  of  apecitnen.  may  be  sufficient. 
Strutt  oacribrs  tbe  Cotton  MS.  Clnu- 
diu4  B.  iv.  to  the  i^iyklh  century.  He 
produces  no  evidence  of  its  dale— but 
thence  ndupu  nearly  all  hia  illufttra- 
tions  of  the  piesumed  costume  of  the 
period.*  Mr.  Planta.  a  Tcry  compe- 
tent jud^r,  ascribes  tbe  same  Mt>.  to 
the  eUrmth  reniury!'  The  second  in- 
btttiice  reapccta  an  illuminated  ponttti- 
ckI.  which  is  preserved  in  the  public 
library  at  Rouen.  No.  3C2.  Monl- 
faucon  Ascribes  it  to  the  xerPuM  or 
righth  century.  Maitene  is  of  opinion 
Ihttt  It  waa  written  about  the  yeai  900. 
Mr.  Ga^e.  who  has  carefully  exatnioed 
ilj  and  lenrnedly  described  tla  contents, 
doubts  "whether  it  was  written  much 
before  the  close  of  tbe  tenth,  or  until 
the  beginning  of  tbe  eieveaM  c«n- 
lorv."* 

A  judicious  Mlection  of  fac-iimile 


copies  of  ancient  ill  ami  nations,  wou 
very  much  help  to  establish  eorr« 
notions  on  costume.  Etecuted 
just  principles,  the  work  would  be  : 
treasure.  It  is  unqoestionabty  a  deai- 
deraturo.  We  are  indebted  to  the 
Abb^  Rive  for  a  collection  of  riajft-ais 
gravurea  enlaminirt.*  but  the  earliest 
date  is  of  tbe  14th  century,  and  it  is  a 
solitary  specimen.  Sir  Krederic  Mnd. 
den  ba5  also  favored  the  public  with 
a  learned  and  very  attractive  worl(^^ 
on  Illuminaied  OmatamtM.^  It  was  h^^| 
main  object,  however,  to  present  tb^^l 
dUttHCtive  eharacter  of  fach  rfwfary— 
so  that  the  work  rather  itilu&irates 
the  progress  of  art»  than  the  revula- 
tlons  of  costume.  It  now  appears 
that  M.  le  Comte  Augusts  de  Basurd 
has  had  the  conrage  to  undertake,  and 
that  the  French  Goveromeot  has  had 
the  geiienisity  to  patronize,  a  Ilitloire 
de  la  printure  oh  moyn  dn  manutcrUt. 
Such  is  the  infoimatioa  of  M-  .\cbille 
Jubinal,  tlie  editor  of  the  splendid  rnl-

The    Reviewer    considers   that   the

Queen. =''  After  the  dcnaise  of  Canute, 
the  term  Etfgiva  reappears,**  Such 
h  the  basis  of  my  conjecture.  T  may 
state,  in  farther  evidence,  that  the 
anonymooa  author  of  the  ^ncDmium 
Emmm,  has  the  unusual  phrase  *'  />»- 
miNo  Regina  Emma ; "  and  1  con- 
ceive that  a  certain  hemistich  of  Afen/rr 
Wacc  adds  to  the  plausibility  of  my 
interpretation.  Speaking  of  Emma, 
the  i^i/eof  Richard  \.  of  Norraaody. 
he  says  : 

'•  Kitrt  apelAe  iMttnf  Emme  — ."*

RsTRospBCTivs  RgTiBiT. — Mttwttlevilt's  Tntvelt.        [July, 


by  a  few  meagre  treatises  of  the  Uter  Roman  writers.  'I'his  outline  woa  filled 
tip  with  much  fabulous  matter,  spread  abroad  inCosmofraphies,  and  in  such 
tracts  as  Alexander's  Letter  on  the  Wonders  of  the  Kaat.  Yet  even  in  the 
midst  of  fables  truth  sometimes  showed  itself;  and  this  truth  was  coDstantly 
increweil  by  the  discoveries  made  by  advcDturoas  people^  who  were  frequently 
led  hy  business,  curiosity,  or  pietVi  not  only  to  travel  to  the  north*  as  well  aa 
to  the  south  and  west,  but  to  expose  themselves  from  time  to  time  to  the  dan- 
gers of  the  western  ocean,  whence  some  returned  to  greet  the  ears  of  Llieir 
coimtrymcn  with  marvellous  stories.  There  can  be  little  doubt  that,  during  the 
whole  of  the  Middle  Ages,  for  many  ceoturiei  before  the  time  of  Columbus,  the 
inhabitants  of  Western  Europe  had  an  indistinct  consciouaness  nf  the  existence 
of  America,  arising  perhaps  out  of  the  combined  traditions  of  the  discoveries 
of  these  bold  adventurers. 

During  the  twelfth  and  thirteenth  centuries,  many  circumstances  joined  their 
influence  in  giving  an  impulse  to  geographical  adventure,  and  in  extending  the 
knowledge  which  had  previously  existed.  The  information  which  the  Arabians 
bad  had  the  means  of  collecting  filled  up  many  parts  of  the  hare  outline  of 
Asia  and  Africa  which  nur  forefathers  had  previously  pussessed.  The  invasions 
of  the  Tartars  led  to  the  embassies  of  men  like  Rubruquis  and  Plau-de-Carpio, 
who  obtained  from  this  extraordinary  people  information  resiKcting  countries 
into  which  the  Saracens  themselves  hod  not  pcDctratcd.  But  white  geography 
was  reaping  these  advantages,  it  bad  also  to  suffer  from  various  drawbaclcs. 
The  indistinct  notions  of  that  distant  land  in  the  west,  which  was  separated 
from  mankind  by  the  unexplored  ocean,  had  been  woven  into  the  legendary 
narrative  of  the  voyage  of  St.  Brandon,  which  long  exercised  a  wonderful 
influence  over  men's  minds,  and  even  the  Spanish  voyagers  of  a  much  later 
period  thought  that  they  were  going  to  Paradise.  Many  other  monkish  legends 
were  engrafted  upon  ficience  ;  and  new  works  on  "Cosmography"  did  not  ob- 
tain credit,  unless  they  had  first  been  collated  with  the  old  established  doctriaes, 
and  their  agreement  with  them  testified  by  the  Court  of  Rome. 

Such  was  the  state  of  gcdgraphical  science  at  the  lime  when  Sir  John  Maoo- 
devilc  made  his  famous  journey  to  the  east,  in  the  earlier  part  of  the  fourteentll 
century.  Scarcely  anything  was  known  of  the  interior  of  Africa.  The  Cni- 
sades  had  made  the  people  of  the  west  well  acciuainled  with  Syria  and  Egypt. 
Their  intercourse  with  the  Saracens  and  with  tne  Tartars  had  been  the  means 
of  procuring  extensive  information  relating  to  the  interior  and  more  distant 
porta  of  Asia,  which  were,  however,  still  believed  to  b«  eiteosively  inhabited 
by  the  monsters  that  had  been  described  by  Pliny  and  Solinua.  But  the 
older  traditions  of  the  existence  uf  new  lands  in  the  west,  hod  been  almost  lost 
among  the  monkish  fables  with  which  thcv  were  obscured. 

No  book  ever  enjoyed  a  greater  popularity  than  the  "  Voiage  and  Travaile" 
of  Sir  John  Maundcvile,  aa  is  proved  by  iVo  numerous  manuscripts  which  yet 
remain,  and  by  the  almost  innumerable  early  editions  in  all  the  Kurupean  lan- 
guages. The  author  published  his  own  book  in  three  different  tongue«,  Latin, 
Ffench.  and  English.  He  was  possessed,  as  appears  by  his  own  work,  of  the 
qualittcations  most  likely  to  attract  the  attention  nf  his  contemporaries.  He 
was  curious,  and  fond  nf  the  marvellous  ■,  and  we  cannot  dcnv  him  the  cha- 
racter of  being  a  hold  adventurer.  A  hundred  different  int  v  that  he 
had  made  the  voyage  which  he  describes.  But  he  was  a)&>:  \y  credu- 
lous ;  and  it  is  impossible  to  rescue  him  from  the  reproach  uf  having  ricttucntly 
•'  drawn  a  long  how."  Yet  even  in  so  doing  he  has  often  rendeied  n  •rrvicc 
to  hiatorical  scie[]ce,and  has  given  us  many  facts  which  aid  ub  i::  -mg 
the  curious  questioo  of  the  ironsmieaton  and  formation  of  mid.i  ..,a. 
All  these  things  being  cnn"'  -  '  '""  know  few  old  hooks  so  nr'-.-pwifiir  tn  us 
B8  the  Voyage  of  Sir  Join.                      ,   hnd  right  heartily  did  we  ifjoice  at  tlie 

prospect  of  a  new  edition,  , ....~..y  iu  so  cheap  and  portable  a  form  as  the

This  passage,  written  a  century  before  Ute  age  of  Columbus,  shows  as 
clearly  that  the  boldneas  and  origmality  of  that  navigator's  uxpeditiuo  were 
not  ao  great  fa  is  commonly  believed.  Maundevile  little  koew  how  near,  io 
some  of  these  observations,  he  waa  approaching  the  future  path  of  Newton  ! 

One  of  the  greatr-st  advaotagcs  which  Sir  Juhu  Maundevile  reaped  from  hi»  inti- 
mate iutercourae  with  the  natives  of  the  eastern  lands,  was  theopportuotty  itafTord- 
edhim  of  collecting  popular  tales,  with  which  hiii  book  abounds.  .Mr.  Halliwell, 
in  his  additional  note*,  hai  pointed  out  several  of  these  tales  which  recur  in 
ihc  Arabian  Nighta.  Some  of  his  religious  legends  ate  also  very  singular. 
The  folluwiug  is  rather  a  aaVre  confesdion,  connected  with  the  niultiplicUy  of 
relics,  oa  they  were  shown  in  those  dayi :  "  And  the  spere  schafl  [with  which 
Christ's  side  was  pierced]  hathc  the  emperour  of  Almayne;  but  tJie  heved  la 
at  Parys.  And  natheles  the  vmpt-rour  of  Cunstantyooble  5tythe  that  he  bathe 
the  spere  heed:  and  I  have  often  ty me  seen  it;  but  it  is  grettere  than  that 
at  Parys." 

A»   a  specimen  of  the   numerous  religious  legends  in  Maundevile's  travels, 
we  may  quote  his  account  of  the  origin  of  roM*.

ther, U  the  rapid  and  extensive  cii- 
calation  of  a  work  the  only  jjroof  of 
iU  merits  or  u»cfulues»f  But  tlte 
fact  itt,  uf  \\\Ksz  Chiomcles  and  olil 
folio  volumes  there  were  wry  targe 
ariyinal  improssions,  and  their  po|tu- 
lurilv  ia  evidenced  by  these  impres- 
sions having  hecn  at  length  exhausted. 
When  the  author  asserts  as  at  p.  13. 
"We  are  stiuck  with  astontF^hment  at 
finding  a  fine  moral  sentiment,  or  a 
noble  image  ncrvouErly  ejipreased  in  an 
author  uf  the  age  of  Queen  Klixabeth," 
wc  can  only  meet  biro  by  auertiog 
that  it  is  juftt  there,  that  is,  in  Shalt- 
spcre  and  Spenser,  in  Uacoii  and  Haw- 
leigh.  in  Sidney  and  Jonson,  that  wc 
bhuuld  expect  to  find  ihern,  but  nut 
exactly  for  the  reosons  stated  by  Mr. 
IlAilitt.— '*  that  they  were  thoroughly 
aequaintetl  with  the  maBlers  of  classic 
Uiought  and  language." 

At  p.  26  we  read,  that  "  Addison 
fell  a  martyr  to  his  habit  of  tippling," 
an  assertion  without  any  proof  we  be- 
lieve, and  apparently  only  made,  "  to 
point  the  moral "  intended  to  be 
enforced.  At  p.  31,  he  says,  "  1  »cc 
no  ground  for  an  inference  that  Ra- 
phael was  not  intitted  in  the  epithet 
of  '  rhvinr,'  becauKe  he  was  attached 
to  the  Foinnrina."  But  who  erer 
did?  or  what  has  the  epithet  "Divine," 
applied  to  him  an  an  Artint,  to  do  with 
hia  fancier  and  frailties  with  a  taker's 
wifi:  a^  a  mnni'  lie  also  s(?es  no 
reason  for  aflirming,  "  thnt  Mandvl 
was  not  in  earnest  when  lu-  sat  down 
to  compose  a  symphony,  bccatrse  he 
had  at  the  eame  time  (KThap?  a  hottle 
of  cunliali  in  hia  eupboarn."  What

this  tiutinn  of  identity  beine  once  formed, 
th«  niind  makes  u»e  of  it  to  «treDg^hen  its

At  p.  A^^  wc  are  startled  by 
someVrhat  bold  declaration,  "A  real 
reform  in  Parliament  wonid  banish' 
all  knavery  and  tolly  from  thoi 
land."  In  one  point  of  view  this 
consolatory ;  fur  it  plainly  provesj 
that  tho  Reform,  for  which  we  arj 
indebted  to  Lord  Grey  and  the  WhigsJ 
ia  so  far  from  a  rval  one,  thai 
it  seems  to  have  increased  knaveryij 
follv.  and  every  base,  miscbicTous^ 
and  detebtable  passion  ten-fuld.  MrJ 
ilazlitt's  Reform,  wc  fully  believe/ 
would  make  a  very  general  cleofaocei 
and  both  the  A:naerry  of  agricuUure«1 
and  tlie  foUy  of  the  Church  wnald  sooo 
disappear. 

In  a  diaquisilton  on  knowledge 
the  world  we  are  told  (p.  200), 

"  A  bookseller  to  succeed  in  bis  buai'j 
ntiiA  fSoHid  hare  no  knowltdpr  i^f  hocktA 
eicept  AS  marketable  eommodilies.  Th 
ioftant  he  has  a  tastr.  an  opinion  of

In  like  manner  a  piclurD-dcaIrr  Hhonlq

the  subject  of  taste  Mr.  Wuzhtt  ob- 
serves, "  When  Mr.  Wordnwortb 
once  said  that  he  could  read  the  de- 
scription of  Satan  in  Milton — 

— Nor  secm'd 

Less  tban    Archangel  ruined,   and    the

over  hia  mind  from  a  sense  of  beauty 
and  grandeur,  1  saw  no  extravagance 
in  tliifi,  but  the  utmost  truth  of  feel- 
ing."    When  the  some  author,  ur  his 
friend   Mr.  Southey,    "  mvs  that  the 
Kxcunion  ia  belter  worth  preserving 
thau  the  Parailisc  Lost,' — this  appears 
lu  me  a  great  piece  of  impertinence,  or 
un    unwarrantable    stretch  of  friend* 
nhip."     Unwarrantable   and  im|Hfrti> 
nent  indeed  I  but  did  .Mr.  Wordsworth 
or  Mr.  Southey  ever  so  injudiciously 
speak  of  the  poem  of  the  blxearsion. 
We  arc  confident  that  no  such  word» 
ever  passed  their  lips,  not  even  Ju  a 
pocttc  dream  ;  but  that  they  owe  their 
rise  to  some  h\^h  praiiu;  given  by  the 
Laureate  to  the  structure  of  the  versifi- 
cation in  the  Kicursion.  which  he  de- 
scribed (so  we   have  heard)  aa    aUnitst

All  beside  is  the   uncnn.^ious  produc-

fame  lie  attributes  sentiments  which 
we    cannot    receive     without     some 
stronger  proof  than  the  mere  asecrtioa 
of  the  essayist.

1839.1     Retiew.— Keightley's  Mythology  of  Greece  and  Italy, 

U  the  system  of  Creuzer  and  others, 
whom,  fts  Mr.  Keightley  informs  as, 
Lotieck  calls  aynch/tic  Mythologiste, 
vho  think  that  the  religina  of  all 
nations,  old  and  new,  weie  the  same 
from  the  beginning,  and  deduce  the 
most  recent  fables  from  the  springs  of 
the  primogeniat  doctrine."  On  this 
labject  wc  must  quote  an  observation 
of  our  author — **  of  these  three  classes, 
the  last  alone  is  peculiar  to  modern 
times ;  the  two  former  thcurica  were 
fimiliar  to  the  ancients.  We  must 
also  observe  that  all  arc  true  to  a  ccr- 
tiln  extent.  Some  Mytke*  are  histo- 
rical, some  physical,  some  moral,  some 
theological ;  but  no  single  one  of  these 
will  suffice  to  account  for  the  whole 
body  of  the  Mythology  of  any  people." 
We  have  no  room  for  much  transcrip- 
tion, bot  we  recommend  the  serious 
attention  of  the  classical  reader  to  Mr, 
Keightley's  introduction,  and  especi- 
ally to  bis  rules  for  the  interpretation  of 
the  Mythes,  which  we  consider  the 
safest  and  soundest  that  can  be  adopted. 
The  accoont  of  the  different  deities  is 
giren  with  the  correctness  and  extent 
of  knowledge  that  might  be  expected 
from  so  accomplished  a  scholar ;  and 
it  it  interspersed  with  some  curi* 
cos  critical  observations  on  passages 
of  the  authors  whose  authority  is  cited . 
We  really  have  no  errors  to  detect, 
oor  omissions  to  supply.*  At  p.  126, 
re  should  omit  the  note  of  Voss  on  the 
sopposed  melody  of  the  swan,  and  of 
course  discard  the  reasoning  on  which 
it  is  foonded.  We  believe  that  the 
ancient  poets  looking  on  that  bird  as 
the  very  emblem  of  beauty  in  /omi, 
endeavonred  to  make  that  b«auty  per- 
fect by  adding  to  it,  the  charm  of 
music  and  melody  ;  and  that  they  never 
considered  how  far  the  truth  of  nature 


55 

did  or  did  not  support  them ;  which 
they  forsook,  (as  may  be  seen  strongly 
in  the  statuary  group  of  the  Lnocoon.) 
whenever  the  perfection  of  their  art 
called  for  tlie  application  of  different 
and  more  appropriate  rules.  At  p. 
521,  Mr.  Keightley'i  says,  "Janus 
was  usually  represented  with  two 
faces,  whence  he  was  named  Bifront 
and  Biceps.  It  is  said  that  at  the 
taking  of  Falcrii,  a  statue  of  Janus 
was  found  with  four  faces  ;  and  at 
Horoc  there  was  a  temple  of  Janus 
Quadrifrona,  which  was  square,  with 
a  door  and  three  windows  on  each 
side."  On  this  subject,  we  will  take 
the  liberty  of  observing  that  Musurus, 
the  Archbishop  of  Malvasia,  in  the 
Morea,  (and  for  some  timca  stipendiary

Dr.  Butler  (the  present  Bishop  of 
Lichfield),  who  has  inserted  this 
Poem  in  hisOpuscula,  1797,  has  no  note 
on  the  passage, f  P.  314,  on  the  subject 
of  the  immortality  of  Achilles,  Mr. 
Keightley  has  given  us  the  account  of 
Apollodorus,  but  he  has  said  nothing 
of^  his  supposed  Invulnerability  ; — we 
therefore  venture  to  transcribe  a  few 
lines,  from  some  notes  we  wrote  on 
this  subject  many  years  ago ;  when 
wc  wandered  more  at  leisure,  "  Aonias 
inter  sylvas,"  than  we  can  now  do.

f  Foster  sujipoaei  that  Janus  might  be  called  TpnrpotTanTotffavavr,  as  indicating 
past,  preamt,  and  future  time.  Heiu&ias  say^  he  ha<)  seen  staVxea  of  Janus,  which 
were  diree-headed,  tricipites.  In  the  Casxoadra  f»f  Lycojihron,  C^O,  Mercury  is 
called  Tpuc€tpaXot.  A  statue  of  Jupiter  with  t/tree  eytH  was  in  the  Temple  of  Mi- 
■erra  at  Argox,  see  Paiisanias,  lib.  il,  c.  £4,  and  Chandler's  Travels  in  Greece,  p.  229, 
4to.  There  is  a  Janus  Trifron*  in  Hadr.Ang.  nummts  ex  Mrt  mediocri,  v.  D.  Choul, 
p-  SO.  Hardouin  ad  PUn,  N.  H.  Ltb.  xxiiii,  vol.  ix,  p.  .'iy  ;  but  it  must  be  remarked, 
thai  on  coins  and  medals,  Juiua  must  be  rcprp^entea  oi  Trifrant,  whether  he  was 
meant  to  be  Qoadrifrons  or  not.  Perhaps  this  may  have  led  to  the  cxpreMion  of 
Munms,  which,  howerer,  Aldni  does  not  appear  to  hare  objected  to.  See  Martial, 
cd.  Ddph.  Amst.  1701,  p.  397,  where  is  a  coin  of  Hadrian  with  a  three>headed  Jaona.

TestiaoDjr  of  the  Apo^oHe  ComtiUm- 
tw/m,  8fc.  The  Decretal  EpuHeg 
showQ  to  be  a  forgery.  A  docament 
forged  in  sapport  of  any  claim  be- 
comes evideDce  against  it.  Then  fol- 
low the  testimonies  of  the  Fathers, 
coaraeociDg  with  that  of  Clement  of 
Rone,  Ireueas,  Tertnllian,  each  in 
leparate  chapters ;  ending  Kith  the 
testimony  of  Isodore  of  Pelosiam, 
Prosper  of  Aqoitain,  and  Vioceot  of 
Lirens. 

The  aathor  in  a  separate  chapter 
also  considers  the  Prohabit  Oriyim  o/ 
Ike  Doetrme  of  Supremacy  from  the 
madar  preponderance  of  ancient 
Borne.  The  imperial  laws  and  coun- 
cils aid^d  in  establishing  it.  It  was 
probably  intended  for  tbe  peace  and 
anity  of  Cbristendom;  bat  itgare  no 
warrant  for  the  change  by  which  it 
became  a  spiritual  yokf,  invested  with 
the  attribates  of  a  divine  right,  and 
entitled  to  exact  an  onirersal  homage 
at  the  peril  of  salvation.  Then  fol- 
lows an  account  of  the  varions  opi- 
nions professed  conceroiog  tbe  extent 
of  the  papal  powers  among  the  Roman 
Catholics  themselves.  The  Transal- 
pine doctrine,  the  Cisalpine  doctrine, 
the  Canon  of  the  Council  of  Florence ; 
these  doctrines  trrecoariiM&ic.  We 
have  nest  a  very  important  chapter  on 
the  imeomaittemdet  of  the  tenets  main- 
tained by  the  Roman  Cfanrch  in  the 
form  of  queries : — 1.  Why  the 
onity  of  the  Catholic  Church  shoald 
be  confined  to  the  Church  of  Rome, 
instead  of  being  co-extensive  with  the 
creed  of  the  Church  Universal.  2. 
Why  a  TOW  of  true  obedience  to  the 
Pspe  should  be  added  to  the  creed, 
and  made  necessary  to  salvation,  3. 
Why  tha  same  creed  obliges  the  pro- 
fessor to  say  that  he  holds  all  apos> 
tdic  traditions  and  observances  of 
the  Catholic  Church,  when  so  many  of 
these  traditions  and  observances  are 
done  away.  4.  Why  the  same  creed 
exacts  the  promise  to  nnderatand  the 
Scriptores  no  otherwise  than  as  the 
Fathers  interpret  them,  when  their  in 
terpretattooa  are  so  directly  opposed 
to  tlu  present  system.  5.  Why  all 
theCanonsof  theCooncilsare  professed 
to  be  bolden,  when  so  many  are  obso-

count of  the  attempts  made  in  tbe 
17th  century  to  unite  the  refonncd 
Churches  with  tbe  GtMUm  Church  at 
Rofpe — with  the  peril  of  the  distimctcd 
state  of  Christendom,  and  wiUk  the 
anthor's  conviction,  "  That  a  dispo- 
sition to  return  to  primitive  principles, 
a  diACOssion  of  those  principles  for  the

Legend  and  Rommice,  African  and  Ewro-

Royal  yiariiK*.  3  rob. 
IT  is  not  our  custom,  generally,  to 
review  works  of  fiction  ;  but  the  book 
before  us  is  so  excellent  in  its  kind, 
and  possesses  so  much  historical  in- 
terest, that  we  think  we  are  doing  n 
service  to  such  of  our  readers  as  have 
not  perused  it.  in  briefly  recommend- 
ing it  to  their  attention.  We  look 
npon  it  as  being,  in  more  points  of 
view  than  one,  one  of  the  most  re- 
markable books  that  has  been  pub- 
lished for  some  years.  Lieut.  Johns 
has  the  troe  notion  of  what  an  histo- 
rical romance  ought  to  be  ;  instead  of 
loading  his  picture  with  antiquarian 
details,  or  creating  forced  situations 
in  order  to  introduce  this  person  or 
the  other,  who  have  no  concern  in  the 
narrative,  and  are  only  brought  for- 
ward to  show  the  extent  uf  the  author's 
researches,  he  makes  a  simple  and  na-

Hevikw. — Lieut.  Johns's  Legend  and  Romance, 


taral  story,  carries  U4  through  a  num- 
ber of  striking  and  touching  sceoea 
witliout  unnecessary  interruption*,  ol- 
tliough  the  late  ahountlH  in  beautiful 
deBcrtpttoDS  ;  and  when  the  reader  baa 
come  to  the  conclosion,  beside*  the  in- 
tercst  which  the  t&le  itself  has  excited, 
lie  fecLa  that,  instead  of  having  learnt 
the  names  and  chAractera  of  a  few  his- 
turiral  individualA,  of  whum  he  never 
heard  before,  he  hoa  obtained  a  clear 
and  ftatiafactory  idea  of  the  character 
of  the  timea  and  the  state  of  society. 
Such  romances  are  the  best  companions 
of  history. 

By  rouch  the  Iongc>t  tale  in  Lieut. 
Johns'  three  volumes  of  Legeotl  and 
Homaoee,  is  that  uf  "  Sebastian  of 
Portugal."  Few  of  our  readers  are  ig- 
norant of  the  double  which,  even 
amongst  contemporaries,  hung  over 
the  fate  of  this  moaarch.  aAer  the  bat- 
tle of  Alcozarquiver,  so  interesting  at 
that  time  to  EDgltahroen  because  in  it 
were  engaged  and  perished  the  adven- 
turous army  of  Stukely,  who  had 
been  sent  by  the  Pope  for  the  invasion 
of  Ireland.  The  Spanish  party,  and 
Sebastian'^  enemies,  sedulouttly  encou- 
raged the  belief  that  he  hoil  fallen  in 
the  battle,  although  his  body  was  never 
found  un  the  Held ;  while  others  be- 
lieved that  he  had  escaped  and  was 
&till  living  in  retirement,and  his  friends 
in  Portugal  long  afterwards  nourished 
the  eipectation  of  seeing  him  return 
to  claim  the  throne  of  his  ancestors. 
Lieut.  Johns  has  viewed  the  matter 
in  this  light ;  and,  taking  up  his  hero 
when  first  stricken  by  the  pangs  of 
true  love,  be  works  uut  cmturally  a 
tfucecasive  series  of  events  which  bring 
about  the  fatal  disaster,  &n<I  leadn  hiia 
through  many  a  moving  accident  by 
field  and  tluud  until  at  lust  we  leave 
the  monarch  of  Portugal  living  in  quiet 
and  happy  retirement  with  the  object 
of  his  early  ottachmcnt  in  a  tranqutl 
vfltluy  among  the  Pyrenees.  The  nar- 
rative \i  full  uf  Hpirit,  and  a  great  va- 
riety of  characters,  adntlrality  delinc- 
atird,  are  brought  into  the  fu-ld.  We

greatly  invalidate  Simon's  supposition  | 
of  Htnry  the  \'th.  having  struck  coins 
in  Ireland ;  but  Mr.  Lindsay  dedocea 
many    other    more   convincing   nrgn> 
mcnts  from  the  ty pee  of  thecoinathem-  ' 
selves,  which  show  that  tbey  actually  { 
belong  to  Henry  VII.     tits   origiiitU 
cunclusiunb   upon    tins    subject   were  | 
given   some  years  ago  in   one  of  the  ' 
many  valuable  CAsaya  on  numlsuialics 
which  he  haa  commmuuicAlcd  to  the 
pages  of  the  GcatJemau'a  Magazine; 
and  he  has  sinre  seen  additional  rea- 
sons to  be  satislied   with  the  opioion 
thus  cxpresaed. 

Under  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  Mr. 
Lindsay  Lakes  notice  tliot  in  ISGl  a 
coinage  took  place  in  Ireland  uf  ahit-  I 
lings  and  groats,  nearly  of  the  baine 
fiDeness  as  the  ICngli&h  muoey,  and  of 
the  value  of  nine-pc-nce  to  the  ohilling. 

These  coins  brar  on  the  reverse  three 
harps  in  a  shield,  between  the  date 
150 1.  Again  in  1598  and  1601  other 
shillings  of  the  same  value  were 
coined,  the  reverse  a  single  harp, , 
crowned.  Mr.  Lindsay  does  not, 
however,  notice  that  tbecc  cutns  (ia 
England  at  lea»il  bore  the  familiar 
name  of  Harpers,  and  we  are  tempted 
to  extract,  from  Mr.  Thoms's  voltua*

is  the  volume,  at  the  best,  very  full  of

what  the  hook  really  dues  rontaia,  as 
well  Oft  the  points  in  which  it  fails  in 
fulfil  tti  professions. 

la  the  first  place,  then,  it  i«  not  a 
Diary.  Hod  it  actually  been  a  diary 
of  the  time  of  Charles  I  he  Second^ 
written  by  a  mnn  at  all  observant  of 
public  ronttrr^.  or  even  if  merely  illus- 
trating manners  and  custumti.  It  cuuld 
not  have  failed  of  being  interesting; 
but  its  proper  title  is,  'Vhc  Common- 

i>lace  Book  nf  the  Rev.  John  Ward. 
It  is  in  fact  a  mi-tc:elIanF<iu»  string  of 
extract!*  from  what  we  find  duly  ite- 
scribeU  in  the  preface  as  "  a  scries  of 
seventeen  dnoilecimu  volumes,  in  the 
original  binding,  carefully  and  legibly 
written,  which  proved  lo  be  genuinf 
wmnKyn-plarr  bookSf  extending  from 
1648  to  1679." 

These  "genuine  rnmm<in- place 
books,"  now  published  with  a  very 
disingenuous  title,  relate,  as  ^ach 
collections  generallv  do,  to  subjects  of 
every  kind.  As  the  collector  was  a 
divine,  and  certainly  an  amateur  if 
not  A  practising  physiciau,  they  are 
naturally  in  a  great  degree  theologi- 
cal or  medical;  some  are  historical  and 
antiquarian,  and  others  mere  lacetitc, 
such  as  the  following  : 

"  One,  I  think  a  elefgymnn,  hnvine 
gntncUaliving,  built  n  hoa»e  upon  itt,  auu 
put  tiiia  JDSLTipCioD  ovlt  thv  door,  Sorte

Of  cdnteiiiporaiy  anecdotes  or  re- 
marks, such  aft  a  real  Diary  would 
hAve  furnished,  there  is  no  great 
plenty  :  yet  there  are  some  thiop  for 
which  our  editorial  Doctor  would  liave 
receivrd  the  pablic  thanks,  if  he  had 
administered  his  extracts  in  smaller

The  following  is  an  hifitorical  anec* 
dole  worth  having;  it  furniahcs  a 
striking  commentary  upon  what  iu 
our  own  (lays  has  acquired  ibe  title

The   following   anecilotes    are    en- 
hanced  in   value,   ffotn   the  circum-J 
etance  of  Mr.  Word  having  receive 
them  directly  from  the  mouth  of  Sir 
Edward  Walker,  the  Garter  Kiug  of 
Arms : 

■*  Sir  Edward  "U'alker  went  to  the  Ktn^ 
immediately  after  Kiny  Chorlc*  the  First 
had  his  bead  cut  otf;  hcc  carried  but  40

Hee  told  uiee  hcc  carried  the  fnirter  tn 
tlie  Murquis  of  fifondeaburg,  and  hod  l^.i 
pound  for  itt ;  that  hee  had  a  stately 
paUcc  at  Berlin;  th.it  hee  is  not  such  a 
drinker  as  people  »ay.  Sir  Edward  said 
hee  dined  with  him,  and  protested  tliat 
hee  had  ri&en  from  the  ubb  thirstie." 
(p.  i:i7.) 

"  Sir  Edward  Walker  was  secretano  to 
the  £arlof  Aruadcl,  when  hee  went  embas- 
sador to  the  Emperor  about  restttultoo  uf 
the  Palatinate.  Uce  was  oecrctarie  to 
the  same  Earl  when  be  was  general  of  tlie 
King's  forces  against  the  Scots,  Sir  Ed- 
ward, by  the  King's  command,  wrote  the 
actions  of  the  warrc  in  1644.  t  sav  I//,

then  tho  King  putt  out  and  putt  in, 
with  his  owne  hand,  what  hee  piea^ed." 

(p,  no.) 

We  have  also  an  anecdote  of  Crom- 
well, which,  though  lecordcd  ouly  u 
an  im  tlif.  appeara  character  ia  lie  : 

"  One  saitd  that  Cromwell  saied  once

RnrtEW^^Dianf  of  tie  Rfv.  John  Ward, 


Gj 


review  of  medicftl  science  id  the  reign 
ofCharlea  the  Secooii ;  from  the  aa- 
•ertion  of  Ned  Culpeper  (id  p.  pj.) 
tb»t  «  "  a  phvsitiao  without  astrologie 
is  like  a  paddea  without  fat ;  "  to  the 
crave  declaration  of  a  more  ceJebrated 
penooage,  that 

"  PlijRbck,  nys  Sjdenbain,  is  not  to  bee 
jetmrf  by  going  to  anirersitiej ;  but  hee 
b  for  Uking  apprentices;  and  mjs  one 
nd  u  good  send  s  man  to  Oxford  to 
learn  dioemaking  aj  practisine  phrsick." 
if.  *4S.)  '^  ' 

And  occasionally  we  have  a  personal 
anecdote,  though  few  so  good  as  the 
following  of  Dr.  Bates,  who,  we  pre- 
wme,  was  Oxford  fired. 

"  Dr.  Bates  is  bj  some  thought  to  be 
inconsiderat  in  his  practice:  itts  said 
bee  bath  killd  two  ladies,  my  I»rd  of 
Bedford's  little  daughter  and  my  Lady 
Watton.  Hee  would  needs  give  her  a 
Tomit:  now  when  he  had  prxscrib^  ilt, 
bee  sent  itt  to  the  apothecaries  to  bee 
Bwde.  He  reftued,  saying  hee  had  been 
so  much  beholding  to  her  ladyship,  that 
he  must  not  gire  itt  her.  Bates  was  very 
•ngry,  and  told  her  hee  would  bring  itt 
the  next  day,  and  stay  the  working  of 
itt ;  but  before  itt  had  done  working,  shee 
departed  this  life.  Tliis  Mr.  Free  told 
n»ee  from  Mr.  Lypiat."    (p,  2ti:i.) 

We  find  from  another  story  (in 
p.  100.)  that  this  bold  physician  was 
noseless !  but  we  shall  leave  to  some 
more  appropriate  critic  the  further 
discussion  of  Mr.  Ward's  raeilical 
collections,  contenting  ourselves  with 
the  following  entry  respecting  a  Dr. 
Fry,  which  is  a  curious  picture  of  an 
old  physician  (as  wc  presume,)  receiv- 
ing his  clients  at  home,  in  the  same 
way  as  the  counsellor  in  Hudibras,  so 
excellently  represented  in  the  print 
by  Hogarth.  In  defence  of  the  re- 
marks we  have  already  made,  we  must 
premise  that  it  is  one  of  the  very  few 
piuagcs  in  the  book  to  which  a  date 
i*  prefixed : 

"Saturday,  March  1,  \C,6\.  Mr.  Bur- 
■et  and  I  was  with  Dr.  Fry,  att  bis  house 
■ear  the  Tower,  where  wo  saw  him  sJtt 
very  reverently,  with  his  hatt  with  silver 
lace  about  itt,  and  bis  studying  gowne  on. 
Hee  askt  the  good  people  many  (juestions; 
there  were  at  least  twelve  or  fourteen  with 
him  while  we  were  there."     (p.  109.) 

A»  u  Editor,  Dr.  Severn  is  not  dis- 
twgoithed  by  remarkable  skill  in  ar. 
imngiag  his  materials,  or  in  elucidating 
Am  itatementi  of  hU  author  by  illos- 


trative  facts.  The  notes  he  has  append- 
ing are  very  few,  and  they  are  chiefly 
distinguished  by  their  very  strong  poIi'< 
ticftl  liberalism.  We  will  point  out  a 
fewinstances  in  which  he  has  neglected 
to  correct  the  misstatements  of  his 
text. 

In  p.  94.  and  reprinted  in  p.  132.  is 
a  statement  that  coaches  were  first 
made  in  England  by  one  Walter  Ripon, 
in  the  reign  of  Queen  Marie.  The 
statement  is  derived  from  Stowe,  but 
inaccurately,  for  Stowe  says  in  1564, 
in  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth.  (See 
Archal.  XX.,  463.) 

"  I  hsvo  heard  that  the  phraze  Scott - 
free  came  first  thus ;  the  Scots  in  King 
James  his  time,  if  they  committed  crimes, 
still  escaped,  even  when  Englishmen  were 
hanged."  (p.  104.) 

from  which  one  would  suppose  that 
neither  Mr.  Ward  nor  his  Editor  ever 
paid  their  scot  and  lot. 

In  p.  I  OS  is  an  equally  foolish  story 
of  the  heir  of  the  Stanley  family  being 
brought  by  an  eagle,  and  therefore 
"named  /Ae  Jjord  Slranye!'*  equally 
given  without  remark,  as  if  that  well- 
known  legend  was  equally  veritable 
and  original. 

In  p.  102  wc  have  this  pithy  charac- 
ter of  our  early  literary  biographers, 
but  the  name  of  the  second  is  inno- 
cently misprinted  Ba/c  ! 

"  Inland  is  till-  industrious  bee,  working 
all ;  Bale  is  the  angry  wh<i{i,  stinging  all; 
Pits  is  the  idle  drone,  stealing  all." 

In  p.  117  we  arc  told  of  Nicholas  de 
Ternhani,  instead  of  Farnham,  "  the 
chief  English  physitian  and  Bishop  of 
Durham  ;  "  in  p.  171  is  a  very  incor- 
rect account  of  the  family  of  the  favour- 
ite Buckingham,  into  which  it  is  not 
worth  while  to  enter ;  and  in  p.  301 
an  equally  incorrect  statement  of  the 
family  of  Dr.  Accepted  Frewen,  Arch- 
bishop of  York,  which  may  be  cor- 
rected by  the  pedigree  in  Nichols's 
Leicestershire,  II.  142.  His  next  bro- 
ther was  Thankfull,  "  Lord  Coventrie's 
secretarie,"  but  in  the  rest  of  the 
family  there  was  no  peculiarity  of 
name.  In  p.  310  Archbishop  Chiche- 
ley  is  scarcely  recognised  (and  pro- 
bably not  at  all  by  the  editor)  under 
the  name  of  Chickley.  What  is  worst 
of  all,  in  a  volume  of  such  miscellane- 
ous contents,  there  is  no  index. 

We  perhaps  ought  not  to  CQi\cVwi«

iipm  is  wanting.  The  picture  is  other- 
iriK  meritorioos.  The  artijt  is  doubtless 
not  awvre  of  tlie  fact,  but  it  is  nererthelesa 
certain,  that  he  has  not  an  eye  for  fcmi- 
oine  beauty.  He  faaa  shown  this  in  many 
instances,  and  he  would  do  well  to  shun 
^ost  subjects  to  which  it  is  indispensible 
as  is  the  case  with  the  present 

No.  b'3.  Prineett  Mary  of  Combridge, 
nd  a  /gpomrite  Sttrfowdlitiul  Dog.  E. 
Lajedssbr,  R.  a.  Mr.  Landseeris  excel- 
kot  in  his  animals,  bnt  let  him  not  lend  too 
Ksdr  an  ear  to  those  who  would  persuade 
him  that  he  at  all  approaches  Sntders. 
The  comparison  is  ridiculous.  We  are 
by  no  means  sure  that  he  equals  Ward 
— we  mean  the  Ward  of  ten  or  fifteen 
years  back.  In  this  artist  there  was  all 
the  character,  and  lee.-t  of  the  flimsiness  of 
Landseer.  The  dog  in  this  performance 
is  a  repetition  of  the  numerous  represeu- 
tatims  of  the  saaie  subject,  which  the 
latter  has  contributed  to  our  exhibitions, 
and  so  in  fact  is  the  child — the  one  being 
clever,   the  other    being   positively  bad. 

^o.^io,Poriraitof  Mitfklha  PtflyVith 
Udo,  a  similar  composition,  is  charac- 
terised by  the  like  beauties  and  defects. 
No.  389.  Pong  and  Doga,  is  a  capital 
thing.  The  Pony  is  in  the  finest  manner 
of  the  veteran,  James  Ward.  No.  361, 
Van  AmbHrgh,  and  hit  anitnalt,  seems  to 
have  disaf^intcd  the  artist's  warmest 
admirers.  The  animals  are  certainly  most 
tame  in  all  respects,  while  the  foreground 
ii  poor,  and  cold  and  slaty. 

No.  438.  Tltt  Bride  ^f  Lammtrnmir, 
R.  S.  Laxdbr.  There  is  much  good 
painting  in  this  composition,  but,  in  point 
of  originality  of  style,  it  is  upon  a  par 
with  the  rest. 

No.  460,  Tht  Ladg  Mayortst  of  y'ork. 
W.  Ettt.  As  admirers  of  Mr.  Etty's 
talents,  we  regret  that  he  should  have 
emfdoyed  them  so  unprofitably  as  he  has 
done  noon  this  execrable  portrait.  It  is 
b*dly  drawn,  badly  coloured,  and  badly 
painted,  combining  all  the  faults  of  the 

r>,  with  those  of  mannered  experience. 
No.  241 .  PMo  carrying  off  Proterpine, 
■bo  by  Mr.  Ktty,  there  is  much  that  is 
worthy  of  the  master.  We  do  not  like 
the  principal  figure,  but  some  of  the  sub- 
ordinate ones  are  of  exquisite  symmetry. 
lliere  is  also,  deal  of  good  colouring. — 
Of  the  draperies  we  cannot  approve. 

No.  2*12.  Portrait  of  Alderman  Lueat. 
Sir  D.  WiLSiE,  R.  A.  Rather  common- 
place  in  style,  and  not  a  striking  likeness 
of  the  indiridaal,  with  whose  features  we 
happen  to  be  &miliar.  Sir  David  has 
Kvenl  other  pictures  in  the  exhibition, 
bnt  we  do  not  tUnk  they  add  materially 
t*  his  reputation.  No.  65,  8w  David 
Baird  ditnperii^  tht  body  q^  Ti^poo 


Saib,  has  some  fine  artist.like  points  about 
it,  but  as  a  whole,  it  is  any  thing  but 
agreeable  to  look  npon. 

No.  514.  JVood  FeteAers.  J.  Inskipp. 
The  proverb,  "  It  is  on  til  wind  that  blows 
nobody  good,"  is  here  iilustrated  with  ^rcat 
ability.  Some  little  rustics  rctuniing  from 
the  Woods,  laden  with  faggots  rudely  boimd 
together,  gi^e  evidence  of  the  devastating 
effects  of  the  elements  overnight.  A 
subject  so  well  suited  to  the  powers  of 
the  master,  could  not  foil  to  be  appropri- 
ately treated.  The  figures  are  well  grouped 
and  painted — the  accessories  equally  so — 
and,  altogether,  the  work  is  more  in  the 
way  of  the  old  school  than  any  in  the 
gallery.  Nature,  sim]ilicity,  and  a  pure 
and  broott  stvic  of  pencilling,  characterise 
Mr.  IiLtkipp's  art,  and  here  those  groat 
qualities  are  seen  in  an  eminent  degree. 

No.'^'ili.  Rubin  Hood.  D.  Maclise,  A. 
A  work  of  much  merit,  anil  not  a  little  ex- 
travagance. The  draning  is  the  most 
commendable  part  of  it.  Tbe  colouring 
and  effects  are  false  and  inharmonious  in 
the  extreme,  nor  can  we  understand  why 
it  is  the  artist  introduces  bis  figures  so 
invariably  with  a  broad  grin  on  their  cuun- 
teiiances.  Nature  furnished  no  authority 
for  these  etemol  displays  of  the  teeth,  and 
iutervening  gaps  which  Mr.  Maclise  takes 
so  great  a  delight  in.  His  pictures  always 
want  repose. 

No.  46y.  The  Brigand's  Hut.  J.  Uwinm, 
R.  A.  ITie  artist  has  not  an  eye  for  colour, 
as  is  evident  upon  an  examination  of  tho 
flesh  tints  in  this,  and  his  various  other 
works.     His  execution  is  moreover  feeble. 

Mr.  LcsLiE  has  two  or  three  small 
figure  pieces  in  his  usual  style.  Lek  ex- 
hibits  numerous  landscapes,  which  without 
much  art,  convey  to  the  mind  of  the  spec- 
tator a  pleasing  rccoUectioii  of  our  beau- 
tiful rural  scenery,  and  as  furniture  pic- 
tures, they  are  worthy  of  much  commen- 
dation. C.  Landseer  has  a  well  painted 
interior.  Mr.  Hart  has  a  picture  repre- 
senting Lady  Jane  Greg  at  the  place  of 
her  execution.  It  is  painted  on  a  large 
scale,  and  this  without  any  adequate  mo- 
tive. The  interest  of  the  subject  is  con- 
fined to  a  very  small  compass,  and  his 
labour  has  for  tbe  most  part,  been  conse- 
quently thrown  away.  It  might  be  reiluccd 
with  advantage  from  its  prcsi'nt  dimen- 
sions of  fifteen  or  twenty  feet  square,  to 
two  or  three.  Faulkner's  portrait  of 
Mre.  Spurgin,  will  bear  a  comparison  with 
any  in  the  exhibition.  Briogr  and 
PicKERfiOiLL  are  feeble  in  all  their  con- 
tibutions,  and  Phillips  far  from  vigo- 
rous. 

At  present  we  have  not  space  to  notice 
the  drawings,  miniaturei  and  sculpture.

BIBLICAL    LITERATUBK. 

With  respect  to  the  '*  Library  of  the 
Fathers,"  now  publishing  in  Oxford,  of 
the  two  first  volumes  which  have  ap- 
peared npwards  of  1 ,200  copies  have  been 
•old  in  the  first  three  months.  Of  Mr. 
Jacobson'i  "  Apostolical  Fathers,"  the 
whole  edition  has  been  sold  in  the  first 
dx  months.  The  entire  edition  of  Mr. 
Palmer's  "  Treatise  on  the  Church"  has 
been  sold  in  about  the  same  time ;  and 
there  Iwve  been  »lrcady  two  editioos  of  « 


69 

book  on  "  The  Antiquity  of  the  Liturgy," 
by  the  same  author.  The  dt^mand  for  the 
old  English  divines  has  so  increased  that 
many  are  not  to  be  procured  at  all,  and 
others  only  at  a  great  advance  of  prin^, 
which  seems  rapidly  increasing ;  for  in- 
stance. **  Field,  ou  the  Church,"  has  risen 
from  15s.  to ;!/.  ^..  and  is  hardly  to  be 
met  with  at  any  price.  CoUyer's  "  (.'h«r«-h 
History"  has  risen  from  two  guineas  to 
five  or  Eilx.  The  works  of  Ilammond, 
Patrick,  Brett,  Thorndyke.  Hickes,  &c., 
are  equally  in  request.  Many  have  been 
reprinted,  and  have  succeeded  beyond  ex- 
pectation ;  and  reprints  at  Oxford  of  Sut- 
ton. Taylor,  Laud,  and  Co$in,  arc  meeting 
with  a  very  rapid  sale. 

CMTERSITV    OF   OXFORD. 

Oxford  has  enjoyed  one  of  the  gay- 
est Comnieaioratiuns  and  fc-stivals  that 
it  has  been  her  good  fortune  to  witness. 
At  an  early  hour  on  Mundny  June  10,  the 
Theatre  was  filled  with  company  anxious 
to  be  present  at  the  performance  of  the 
musical  exercise  for  the  degree  of  liachc- 
lor  of  Music,  composed  by  Mr.  Henry  R. 
Bishop,  now  a  Gentleman  Commoner  of 
Magdalen  College.  It  was  a>:eIection  from 
his  Oratorio  of  "  The  Fallen  Angel,"  the 
words  taken  principally  from  Stilton's 
Paradise  Lost,  with  selections  from  the 
book  of  Revelations.  The  day  concludeil 
with  a  ball  at  the  Star  Assembly  Room, 
at  which  there  were  upwards  of  fuur  hun- 
dred present. 

On  Tuesday  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Governors  of  the  UadcHlfe  Infirmary  took 
place  at  the  KudcIitTe  Library,  from  which 
they  went  in  procession  to  St.  Mary's, 
Qccoiupanying  the  stewards,  Lord  Duu- 
gaiinou  and  Coluuel  North.  Full  cathe- 
dral service  was  perfonued,  and  the  an- 
them, '*  Plead  thou  my  cause,"  and  the 
old  huudreth  psalm  wc-t'c  auug  with  fine 
effect.  An  admirable  sermon  was  preached 
by  llie  Hon.  and  Rev.  Dr.  Pellew,  Dean 
of  Norwich,  and  the  sum  of  jfiXt  was  col- 
lected fur  the  infirmary.  In  the  afternoon 
the  Stewards  gave  their  first  musical  i>er- 
formancc  in  the  theatre,  consisting  uf 
sacred  music,  chiefly  Handel  and  Mozart. 
On  Wednesday  the  Vice-Chancellor  hav- 
ing opened  the  Cuiivocntiuu,  which  he  did 
with  much  grace  and  dignity,  the  candi- 
dates for  the  honorary  degrees  were  pre- 
sented ill  the  following  order  :

KOTAL  ASIATIC  80CIBTY. 

May  \  1 .  Tbe  sixteenth  Anniversary 
was  held:  the  Right  Hon.  Sir  Gore 
Onscley,  Bart,  in  the  chair.  The  Report 
of  tbe  Council  stated,  that  the  recently- 
adopted  arrangements  have  enabled  thu 
Society  to  carry  on  their  affairs  without 
dinuDishing  the  capital  stock.  Among 
the  deaths,  that  of  the  late  Secretary, 
Captain  HarkDess,  and  of  the  Librarian, 
Colonel  Francklin,  were  the  only  ones 
partwularly  adverted  to ;  and  some  ac- 
•uiint  vras  given  of  the  variouii  publi- 
cations of  Colonel  Franckliii.  It  was 
then  stated,  that  General  Briggs  had  re- 
■igBCd  the  secretaiyship,  which  officeMr. 
Rd.  Clarke  had  kindly  offered  to  under- 
take ;  and  in  consequence  of  the  death 
of  Colonel  AnnckUiit  Mr.  Sfaakespear 


n 


had  allowed  himself  to  be  put  in  nomina- 
tion as  Librarian.  In  noticing  the  con- 
dition of  the  Oriental  Traa5latiun  Fund, 
the  Council  were  happy  to  state,  that  that 
institution  still  continueil  to  enjoy  the 
support  of  u  large  number  of  the  jtatrons 
of  orii-ntal  literature,  both  at  home  and 
abroad ;  and  that  its  operations  were 
carried  on  with  a  zeal  aud  activity  com- 
mensurate to  its  means. 

Sir  Alexander  Johnston,  as  chairman 
of  the  Committee  of  Correspondence, 
gave  a  romple  drtsil  of  the  different  ob- 
jects to  which  that  Committee  bad  directed 
its  researches  during  the  past  year ; 
embracing,  among  other  matters,  the 
changes  which  are  taking  place  in  the 
education,  manners,  and  feelings  of  the 
Turks  ;  the  influence  exerted  upon  the 
Affghaos  by  the  Indians  on  one  side,  and 
the  Persians  on  the  other ;  the  moral 
and  political  effects  likely  to  be  pro- 
duced on  the  jieople  of  India,  by  the 
introduction  of  inland  steam  navigation; 
the  effects  likely  to  be  produced  on  China 
by  our  occupation  of  Assam ;  and  the 
measures  adopted  by  Russia,  for  gaining 
acquaintance  with  the  river  Amur,  and 
the  sea  coast  at  its  mouth. 

The  Right  Hon.  Holt  Mackenzie  read 
the  Report  of  the  Committee  of  Com> 
merce  and  Agriculture,  which  commenced 
by  acknowledging  the  valuable  services  of 
Dr.  Koyle  (Sec),  and  Mr.  Solly  (Cbemi. 
cal  Analyser).  It  then  stated,  that  an 
abstract  of  tbe  Proceedings  of  the  Com- 
mittee, up  to  the  end  of  1  'i'^^■,  had  already 
been  printed;  and  thnt  another  was  in 
progress,  which  would  show  that  the 
matters  which  had  been  investigated  by 
the  Committee  were  highly  important  in 
relation  to  the  trade  and  agriculture  of 
India,  and  to  the  commerce  and  manu- 
factures of  Great  Britain ;  and  that  va- 
rious inquiries  had  been  Instituted,  from 
which  interesting  and  beneficial  results 
might  be  cxjwcted.  The  articles  to  which 
the  Committee  had  principally  directed 
their  attention,  had  been  cotton,  oR 
seeds,  and  tbe  vegetable  tallow  of  Canara : 
and  they  had  also  collected  information 
relating  to  caoutchouc,  kino,  hemp,  tea, 
iron,  cochineal,  timber,  wool,  silk,  and 
minor  articles ;  all  of  which  are  procurable 
of  sui'irior  qimlity,  nnd  at  a  less  price, 
than  in  any  other  parts  of  the  world  ;  and 
for  many  of  which  Great  Ilritain  has  now 
to  depend  for  a  supply  from  foreign 
states. 

The  following  gentlemen  were  elected 
of  the  Council  of  the  Society,  viz. — 
S.  Ball,  esq.  Gen.  Briggs,  the  Hon. 
Mountatuart  Elphinstone,  Col.  Galloway,

e««if  containinc  «omo  important  argu- 
mtat*  on  the  snti(|uity  of  Abury-ind  Stone- 
bengp.  loading  to  show  tliMt  thrir  irri  can- 
not rwonably  be  carried  back  to  a  period 
antecedent  to  the  Christinn  nra.  After 
tracing  tho  Roman  road  from  Dover  and 
Guiterbury  thro  ugh  NoTtomagus  and  I^D- 
doo  to  the  Weit  of  Eni;land,  he  noticed 
thiit  Silbury  i.<i  Hitu.tt*;d  immeitutL«Ir  itpnrt 
tlint  road,  lutd  that  thB  arennefi  of  Abury 
extend  np  to  it,  whilst  their  coiirw  ip  re- 
ferable to  the  rsfiiuf  of  a  notnnu  mile. 
From  tbeae  ami  othrr  cirrutii^lAOt'ifi  ho 
argued  that  Abiiry  and  Silbnry  am  not 
anterior  to  the  road,  nor  can  we  well  con- 
ceive how  inch  ifigftDtie  works  could  be 
aci-'ouiplifihed,  until  Roroan  civlUaallou 
liod  furuiaUed  nuch  a  aystcm  of  providing 
dod  ■toriRK  food  as  would  mipply  the  con. 
course  uf  a  viut  multitude  of  people.  Mr. 
Rickmaa  Airther  remarked  that  the  temple 
of  Abury  la  cnnipletely  of  the  form  of  ■ 
Roman  anipbitbeatre;  whirh  would  sccum- 
modate  nbo«t  48,000  Apertators,  or  half 
the  number  ctmtalned  in  the  Flavian  am- 
phitbcatre.  or  CoUMnim,  at  Rome.  Again, 
tlie  Btooes  of  Stonehenge  have  eihibited, 
when  their  tenons  and  mortices  have  been 
first  expoaed,  the  working*  of  a  wetl'di- 
rrcted  Kteel  point,  iKfyood  the  nrorkmu-

tionnl  by  Ciesar  or  Ptolemy,  aoH  its  his- 
torical uotitiOt  commence  in  the  fifth  cen- 
tury. On  the  whole,  Mr.  Rickmao  la  In- 
daced  tu  conclude  Ihst  tho  lera  of  Abury 
is  the  third  centorj-,  and  tliat  of  Rtone- 
bcfue  the  f«srth,  or  before  the  departure 
«f  Out  RooMBS  from  Britain  ;  and  that

to  these  is  added  an  abstract  of  one  of  th

to  comniunicale  them  to  you,  and  bare  i 
doubt  but  that  the  hint  will  be  found 
useful  one,  especially  by  a  pabtic  so  alifl 
to  the  vahic  of  antiquities  as  that  of  uH 
own  country.     A  set  of  qncstloiu  such  i

ing  in  a  vast  nnmher  of  intsreslf

could  not  fiul  to  be  productive  of  the  1

Aets  of  the  Colonial  Legihluture.— Mr.

losing  no  time  in  legisUting  on  those 
three  points.  After  some  further  rfisem-

contended  that,  wherever  there  wna  build- 
ing ground,  cottaget  would  be  built  till 
the  rent  fell  to  tbe  level  of  other  invent- 
menl5.  But  fehould  this  Bill  come  into 
operation,  ic  would,  by  Uving^  a  tnx  upon 
the  londlord,  prevent  ihe  buildioff  of 
cottugcA,  and  would  art  in  the  nature  of 
a  houic.tax,  and  thurefore  fall  upon  the 
labourer  and  the  artizuii.

of  wbidi  was  in  connexion  with  the  Cale- 
donian Asylum,  Mr.  Gait  was  appointed 
agent  to  a  company  for  establisbitig  emi- 
granu  in  Canada ;  but  unfortunately 
be  soon  involved  himself  in  disputes 
with  Uie  Government ;  and  we  fear  not 
a  little  contributed  by  his  meddling  with 
public  matters,  and  his  insults  to  tbe 
Governor  Sir  Peregrine  Maiiland,  to  sow 
dissension  and  dislo}-alty  in  those  unhappy 
prorinccs.  Mr.  Gait  was  at  length  sus* 
pended  by  the  Canada  Cuniiwiy.  At  a 
i<ub<teqnent  period,  Mr.  Gult  attempted, 
but  unsuccessfully,  to  fomi  a  New  Bruns- 
wick Company,  in  opposition  tu  his  fur- 
mer  frienos  in  Canadu.  He  afterwards 
had  a  project  to  make  GUi^^w  a  sea- 
port, 

Mr.  Qalt  was  at  one  time  editor  of  the 
Coorier.  In  afaort,  after  his  return  to 
England,  he  may  be  uid  to  have  sup- 
pofted  Umaelf  alnoat  entirely  by  bis  pen.

This  "  cbarjpiblc  cxpencc,"  of  printing  Tigncttcs,  was  incurred  by  Sir 
Willinm  Dugdalc  for  his  History  of  Warwickshire,  and  for  his  Origincs  Juri- 
dicialcBj  bat  the  Baronage,  for  thereasons  above  given,  is  withoutany  repre- 
sentations of  the  ai-ms  of  the  families  recorded.  Even  for  his  copper-plate 
vignettes,  Diigilale  chiefly  employed  a  foreigner,  \Vence«JnuB  Hollar;  as, 
fifty  years  after,  Tom  Hearne,  at  Oxford,  bad  all  his  '*  Ectypa'"  engraved 
on  cupper,  generally  by  Michael  Burghers.  In  Collins's  Peerage  of  1710, 
there  are  wood-cuts  of  the  iirma,  but  they  areas  rude  as  they  could  have 
been  if  attempted  in  Dugdale's  time.  In  short,  the  art  was  "  lost."  Daring 
the  greater  part  of  the  last  century,  it  was  little  practised  j  though  it  stilt 
had  ita  chain  of  profussors,  as  we  shall  see  hereafter  ;  but  it  never  attracted 
much  admiration  until  cxhlbitei]  in  the  works  of  tlie  cclebmtod  'lliomas 
Bewick,  of  Newcastle.  By  his  talents,  and  those  of  his  pupils,  it  has  been 
gradually  advancing  in  public  estimation  (luring  the  present  century- ;  bnt 
it  has  been  only  during  a  very  reeetit  [>criod  tliat,  in  point  of  quantity,  and

for,  though  witbiu  the  last  eight  or  ten

near  Meramingen  in  Suabia.  Tlie  mana< 
BOiipt.  entitled  Lata  ViaQiMs,  nnd 
finiabed  in  1417,  wai  left  to  tb«  convent 
by  Anna,  canoness  of  Bucbaw,  who  waa 
living  in  N-/7 ;  but  who  probably  died 
previous  to  I4:J5.  The  reduced  copy 
[given  in  the  fallowing  page]  will  ufTurd  a 
Itjlerably  correct  idea  of  the  composition 
and  xtyle  uf  engraving  of  the  original  cut, 
which  is  of  a  folio  ni/e,  being  eleven  nnd  a 
quarter  inches  higb,  and  eight  and  one- 
eighth  inches  wide. 

"  'J'he  original  alTonU  a  Rpedmen  of  the 
combined  tnlenta  of  the  Fornisuhneider 
or  wood-engraver,  and  the  Uriefiualcr  or 
cord-colourer.  The  engraved  portioUB, 
such  as  are  here  rt-preBcnted,  have  been 
takeu  off  in  dark  adouriog  matter  aimi- 
Inr  to  printer'^  ink,  after  which  the  im- 
presaion  apprare  to  have  been  culoured 
by  means  of  a  stencil.  As  the  back  of 
the  cut  i-annot  be  seen,  in  cooseqaeace  of 
its  being  pasted  on  the  cover  of  the  vo- 
lume, it  caunot  he  oscertaiacd  with  any 
degree  of  certainty  whether  the  imprexiioa 
has  been  taken  hj  means  of  a  preu,  or 
rvbbeei  off  from  the  block  by  meana  of  a 
bumiiher  or  rubber,  in  n  manner  similar 
tu  that  in  which  wowl -engravers  of  the 
present  day  take  their  proofs.  This  cut  ia 
much  better  designed  Utan  the  generality 
of  those  which  we  find  in  books  typogra- 
phically executed  from  Hft2,  the  date  of 
the  Bamberg  PablcB,  to  l-)<)3,  when  the 
often-cited  Nuremberg  Chronicle  was 
printed. . .  .In  fact  tlie  figure  q(  the  saint, 
and  that  of  the  youthful  Chrt«t  whom  ho 
bears  on  his  shoulders,  ore,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  eitremitics,  designed  in 
lurh  a  Htylr,  that  they  would  scarcely  dis- 
credit Albert  Durcr  himttelf.  To  tbc  left 
of  the  cngratinif  the  artist  has  iuLruduced, 
with  a  nnble  disregard  of  periqwctive, 
what  De wick  would  have  called  *  a  bit  of 
Nature.'  In  the  foreground  a  figure  is 
seen  driving  an  avB  loaded  wiUi  a  sack 
towards  a  water-mill ;  wbilc  by  a  steep

In  p.  219  is  mentioned  a  curious  fact  connected  with  tlic  wood-cuts  to  J 
the.  carlicHt  books  printed  with  type,  that  they  arc  very  inferior  to  those  j 
in  the  previous  block-books.     Tbia  arose  from  the  circumstance  of  the 
rormschucidcr  or  engraver  uithliolding  his  aid  from  an  invention  wbicti 
threatened  in  a  grenl  degree  to  supplant  his  own  craft  j  and  ne\v  haiuls, 
of  inferior  skill,  were  in  eonsupience  employed.     In  H71  the  cnpTHVcraJ 
of  Augsburg  opposed  the  admission  of  (lunther  Zainer  to  the  privileges  ofl 
a  burgess,  and  endeavoured  to  pix'vent  him  from  printing  in  the  city ;  anHl 
when,  through  the  interference  of  the  Ablxtt  of  St.  Ulric,  he  and  Jnhni 
Seliuasler  obtained  permission  from  the  magistracy  to  follow  their  trade*  I 
it  was  at  first  on  the  condition  of  their  having  no  wood-cnttj,  and  afterv  ards  j 
that  they  should  employ  only  the  engravers  of  Augsburg.     U  was  in   this' 
city  that  the  practice  of  introducing  woodcuts  into  printed  books  was  first 
genendly  adopted  (p  231).     In  a  few  ycai-s  it  became  general  throughout 
Germany.  j 

lu  1467  Ulric  Hahn.  a  Gennan,  produced  the  first  book  lu  Italy  tliutl 
was  embellished  in  this  way.      ft  was  printerl  ul  Rome,  and   entitled 
Mcditaiioues  Johannis  de  I'urre  cremata.     Its  cuts  arc  engraved  in  simple 
ootlinc  \  and  that  style  longcontiDUcd'prevalent  in  Italy,  with  oceaniaoallyi 
a  slight  indication  of  shade,  by  means  of  short  parallel  lines,  as  shnwu 
the  following  cut  from  "  Fra  Colonnas    Hypnerototnachia  Poliphili," 
"Contest  between  Imagination  and  Love,"  printed  at  Venice,  by  Aldu 
in  14!)9.

criticisms  is  xiot  ivortUy  the  writer,  whether  he  be  Mr.  Jacksou,  or  Mr3| 
Cbntto. 

Hnving  DOW  touched  upon  EngliBti  ground,  we  ahall  give  a  few  brief 
notes  of  tlie  little  that  was  fonncrly  done  in  wood-tngraWng  in  this 
country.  The  first  printrd  Ixxik  in  the  English  Iriniriiage  which  contains 
wood-cuts,  18  tlie  second  eilitioti  of  Cnxton'fl  '  (laine  uiid  Playe  of  Cliesse,"  j 
sup|H><od  to  have  been  printed  in  I17().  There  nro  also  woo<l-cut»  in  hiaj 
Golden  legend,  I-I83  ;  the  Fablea  of  Esop,  1481  :  and  in  Chaucer's  Ciin-j 
terbnr}-  Talcs  ;  of  m  liich  last  Mr.  Jackson  says. — '*  the  cuta  nmy  Gufelyj 
be  considered  as  the  genuine  invention  and  execution  of  a  British  artist.'*! 
'ITie  greater  part  of  the  cuts  found  in  books  printed  by  Coxton  and  Do] 
Wordc^  may  be  suppos^ed  to  linvc  come  front  abroad  :  hot.  whether  so  or] 
not.  they  are  gi^nerally  coarse.  Abundant  spccimena  of  these  arc  scatteredj 
through  the  works  of  Dr.  Dibdin. 

While  Holbein  tvas  resident  in  this  coantry,  he  made  some  desigus  for] 
wood  cuts,  but  not  many, — perhaps,  aa  conjectured  by  Mr.  Jackson,  from] 
there  being  no  engravers  here  ca|)able  of  cutting  them.  The  illuAtmtioud j 
of  Cranmcr's  Catechism,  printed  in  1548.  have  been  ascribed  to  him,  b»ti 
only  two  contain  his  mark^  and  the  rest  bear  little  resemblance  to  his 
usual  style.

Tliis  nit  has  been  practised  in  this  country  only  at  intervals.  Tnelve 
chiaroscuros,  chiefly  from  Italian  masters,  were  inibliHhed  by  Edward 
Kirkall,  between  1722  and  172-1;  twenty-seven  others  of  a  hu^e  size

Engraving  and  Printing  in  chiaroscuro,"  from  which  we  Jenm  that  h«  was 
then  desirous  to  direct  the  ait  ti»  the  innnufaeture  of  {>nper  hangings,  in  which

to  be  proved  whellicr  coloured  prints  o(  this  kind,  will  be  best  produced

j)'i ration  of  Ills  Hppietiticcsltip  lie  seems  to  bavc  formed  the  resolution  of  ' 
applying  himself  cxdusirely  to  wood-engraving;  &ud  in  1775  he  rnccivTtt^ 
a  premium  for  the  Society  of  Arts  for  hii«  cut  of  the  Huotsman   aud  OU 
Hound. 

In  ihc!  autumn  of  the  foUouiug  year  he  came  to  Loudon,  uhere  he  found 
employment  ivith  T.  Hodgson,  a  printer  in  Clcrkenwell,  und  alrendy 
mentioned  as  a  wood -on  graver.  Some  of  his  cuts  appeared  in  ■'  A  curious 
Hicroglyphick  liible, '  printed  by  this  pcrsuu.  He  did  not,  however,  hkc 
fjimdou,  aud  after  only  a  twcive-uionths' »t»y  he  rctunied  to  Newcastle, 
and  entered  into  partnership  with  his  former  master,  Mr.  Kidph  Beilby. 
after  which  period  he  engraved  a  fovv  works  in  copper  (of  w  hich  a  list  id 
given  in  p.  568),  bot  always  prefencd  employment  on  his  own  favourite 
miiterial.  Mr.  Saint,  a  bookseller  at  Ncwcoslle,  aided  hiw  views,  by  under- 
taking an  edition  of  Gay's  Fableti,  which  appeared  in  1779;  in  this  work 
the  cut  of  the  Old  Houn<l  already  mentioned  was  first  pHblishcd  ;  Mr. 
Jackson  has  given  a  facsimile  of  it  iup  5'i1-.  The  Buccess  of  tlie  voluiue 
led  to  another  published  Ave  yeani  after,  uiuler  tltc  title  of**  Select  Publet."

note  ill  p.  hOO),  is  to  be  added  the  name  of  John  Jackson,  the  atitbor  of 
this  work,  niid  by  no  mi^ans  the  last  in  [)oiut  of  merit. 

In  the  *'  Londou  School"  there  was  no  rival  to  Bewick  before  the  lato 
Robert  Braiiston.  His  predecessor  was  James  Lee,  who  died  in  I80'l. 
The  best  8|>ccimen  of  Brauston's  talents  is  n  large  cut  of  the  Cave  of 
I>espair,  in  Savage's  Hiuta  on  Decorative  Printing.  Mr,  John  Thomp- 
son, ft  pupil  of  Brauston^  is  in  p.  Ct.\'2  styled  "  the  best  Kiiglisb  wood- 
engraver  of  the  present  day;"  and  in  the  following  |mge  ia  a  list  of 
bis  roost  distinguished  coDtemporaries  ;  but  for  these  {tarticulars,  as  well 
as  the  store  of  nseful  information  coiitaineil  in  the  last  chapter,  entitled 
"The  Practice  of  Wood  Engraving,"  we  roust  refer  to  the  volume 
itself  j  and  must  now  close  our  observalious,  after  first  directing 
llie  readers  attention  to  the  Iwo  beautiful  cuts  in  Plates  11.  and 
Jll.  which  arc  given  in  the  work  as  examples  of  crost-hntehing,  and 
of  the  advantage  of  lowering  the  edges  of  a  viguette,  but  which  wc  have 
eelccted  aa  pleasing  examples  of  the  abilities  of  Mr.  Jackson. 


DIARY  OF  A  LOVER  OF  LITERATURE. 
(Vontinued/rcm  Voi.  XI.  p.  579-^ 

1816.  Jan.  16, — In  the  evening  went  to  the  theatre  with  Mrs. 
Fonnereau's  order,  to  see  Master  Betty  in  Norval,  Perfect  in  stage  de- 
portment and  histrionic  trick  ;  but  affected,  elaborate,  aud  with  ft 
miserably  uhiuiug  deelainatioa — not  one  trait  of  geouiue  genius.  'Ilie 
dying  scene  the  best. 

Jail.  20. — Read  IVraxatVit  Memoirs.  His  serious  reprehension  of  Dr. 
Johnson  for  mistaking  an  Earl  of  Dorset  fur  n  Duke,  and  a  second  Earl  of 
Middlesex  for  a  third,  is  very  ludicrous.  I'hc  mode  in  which  he  urges  his 
scandal,  first  broadly  stating,  then  combating,  qualifying  and  disclaiming, 
and  then  reauiuing,  after  a  pause,  and  cuufirmiiig  and  aggravating  the 
charge,  is  highly  curious  J  as  welt  as  the  slyness  with  which,  ou  minor 
occasions,  he  drops,  to  appearance  iuadvcitcntly,  an  oblique  but  mis. 
ehicvoaa  insinuation:  tnfiltliy  anecdotes  he  manifestly  luxuriates.  Hi* 
portrait  of  Lord  G.  Gordon  corresponds  with  what  I  ubKcrved  of  him 
when  brouglit  up  to  the  Court  of  King's  Bench,  iu  the  eharacter  of  n 
Jewish  Rabbi.  He  was  unquestionably  mad.  Notwithstaiidtng  all  that 
Wraxall  asserts,  I  have  beeit  assured,  from  the  highest  authority,  that 
J unius's  description  uf  religion  at  8t.  James's  whs  jicffcelly  just.  That 
the  King  WHS  scrnpuliius  in  ceremonials — but  nothing  more.  Wraxall 
insinuates  that  Lord  North  Mas  really  brother  to  the  King  *  'l*he  portraits 
^^'raxall  gives  of  the  members  of  Lord  North'B  Cabinet  arc  well  deline^t-cd. 
He  obscr^'es  of  Dunning,  that  the  ad\ot!ute  appeared  iu  the  debater.  Glad 
to  find,  if  it  br.  true,  wtiich  I  much  doubti  that  //iird  proposed  Lowth  to 
fill  the  metropolitan  see  in  l/HJ. 

Feb.  7. — Went  to  the  theatre  to  heir  IncUdun,  his  tu&t  appearauce — 
old  and  brukcu — his  voice  simltere.d  aud  his  bad  style  iu  full  I'oi-ce.  &ang 
the  t^uaker's  song  "  Verily  ah  !" — well.  Said,  on  being  encored,  that  it 
uos  tlic  best  ftObg  he  sung,  and  he  would  sing  it  with  an).  iii;iii  In  Kiu'hiod.

He  insinuates  that  Monmouth  was  Robert  Sidney's  son,  audnot  t]ic  King's  ) 
M  was  apparent  from  hb  stature  and  countenance,  nnd  in  pstrticalar, «

March  31. — Scurrilous  attack  on    me  this   morntiig  in    the    Saffolk 

Chronicle^  apparently  by ■     Mr,  Pearson  nnd  Mr.  King  called  on  ma 

respecting  it :  both  trt^atcd  my  npprch>?nsioiis  as  utterly  groundless.  Strong 
expression  from  Mr.  King  at  parting — *- That  if  niiylhing  would  tempt 
him  to  commit  suicide — it  would  be  the  forfeiture  of  my  esteem."  1  then 
brgan,  at  tbvir  recommendation,  a  banteriof;  reply.  James  the  Second 
imputes  the  origin  of  bis  conversion  to  the  Catholic  church,  to  a  tract 
against  it,  which  a  bishop  of  the  church  of  England  had  uritten.  and  put 
into  his  hands  :  and  ht:  mentions  the  "  Preface  to  Hooker's  Ecclesiastic^d 
Pohty,  as  one  of  the  compositions  which  confirmed  his  conviction."  H« 
solemnly  states,  and  perhaps  believed  it  at  the  time,  thnt  though  he  wished 
»ll  men  like  himself  as  to  religion,  yet  he  held  it  unlawful  to  force  any 
man,  much  le«s  a  whole  kingdom,  to  embrace  it.  Churchill  seems  to  have 
been  his  most  confideutial  emissary  latterly.  The  Dukoof  Vork'tt  unbend* 
ing  bigotry,  his  lofty  notions  of  the  rcgal  prerogative,  and  \\U  ambition  of 
|W)pn)nnty,  are  striking  features  in  this  work.  How  formidable  does  the 
House  of  Commons,  yet  unsubdued  by  corruption,  appear. 

April^^. — Dr.  Kilderbcc  said  in  conversation,  that  Smith  (i.  e.  th« 
fictor,  called  (tcntlemati  Smith)  considered  Keau  as  &p[>roaching  more  to 
Gnrrick  than  any  actor  he  had  seen  since  his  time. 

^pril  fi. — King  Jt-imos  states,  that  Jn  hin  first  speech  to  the  Cooncit,, 
it  should  have  been  given, — "That  he  would  never  endeavour  to  alter  th« 
established  religion  }  "  not,  "  that  he  would  endeavour  to  preserve  it  i '' 
bnt  tliat  Finch  took  it  down  otherwise ;  that  the  difference  es4:aj>cd  him  ak 
the  moment,  and  that  he  was  obliged  to  follow  it  op  in  his  dccbrntions 
and  speeches  afterwards.  He  calls  the  Prince  of  Orange,  on  the  (>cca* 
siou  of  Monmouth's  invasion,  with  great  bitterness,  "That  ambitiimt 
Prince,  exempt  from  the  tyranny  of  honour  and  conscience;  "  and  Mon« 
mouth  himself,  "  that  poor  abandoned  wretch  !  "  He  represents  him  ad 
most  abject  in  supplicating  for  mercy  in  bis  uoscasonabic  interview  with 
the  King.  He  adirnis  particulnrly,  that  on  Ms  execution  the  Duke  wai 
attended  by  no  divine  whatever  !■ 

April  12. — James,  in  the  ntTairs  of  Magdalen  College,  Oxford,  asflCftt, 
that  the  Fellows,  after  formally  petitioning  that  the  King  would  loaro 
election  to  themselves^  or  recommend  some  proper  poraon,  pn>cceded 
to  election  before  that  petition  could  jMssibly  be  answered.  James  fully 
confesses  his  imprudtncet  and  sets  forth  his  own  infatuated  conduct  in  th« 
clearest  light.  I  am  inclioed  to  regard  him  on  the  whole  as  n  welt 
disposed  man.  He  calls  my  relative,  Sancruft,  a  man,  though  easily  mis< 
guided,  of  a  sinceru  character.  Bancroft  had  said  he  could  live  upoil 
f>0/,  a  year.  "  ilr  was  reduced."  said  the  King,  "  soon  after  to  redre, 
and  live  nptm  an  estate  of  his  own  of  not  much  greater  value."  I*  — 
mentioned,  that  old  DrCoytr,  stumbling  by  his  own  door,  and  HiiSeU 
askiug  him,  why  he  tlid  not  mend  bis  pavement,  ho  cxcUiimed, — '*  P; 
qui  pftvet,"  a  most  felicitons  reply  !

Coeval  Authenticity  ttf  the  Bayt^uc  Tajmtry, 


once  so^cftts  the  monament  itaplf  to 
be  the  work,  I  may  fairly  say /oAnVo- 
tian,  fif  a  lafpr  aiff !     Thuo,   when   I 
point  out  that  the  letters  on  the  tomb 
of  Qucea  Matilda,  at  Caen,  alroogly 
resemble   those   on   the  Bayrux   Ta> 
fwstry,  both  in  their  form  and  moao- 
grammatic  combinalions,  he  declares 
the  inacrilwd  slab  to  be  of  doubtful 
antiquity,  and  hints  that  it  may  be  of 
no  earlier  date  than  Ihe  iGth  century  ; 
thus  assailing,  (can  1  suppoiic  fur  the 
temporary  support  of  ar^iunicnt  r)  the 
authority  uf  a  Gough  and  a  StoLhard 
and  of  all  the  tourists  in  Normandy 
of  tlie   present  ape.     If  the   tomb  of 
Queen  Matilda  nt  Caen  be  a  fabrication, 
then,    Mr.  Urban,  is   the  munument 
of  llbcft  de  Chaz.  discovered  at  Monk, 
ton    Farley    in    Wiltshire,    (engraved 
in    your  Magazine   for  Oct.  1S35.  p. 
377.  And  there  described  as  of  the  time 
of  Henry  Land  distinguished  as  a  strik- 
ing   exaoiple  of  the  practice  derived 
from  the  Ramans,  of  using  expedients 
to  cunipreas  inscriptions,  within  a  li- 
mited space),  also  of  doubtful  antiquity. 
Might  I  not  suggest,     according'    to 
the  example  of  scepticism  which  my 
antagonist  affords  me.  that  it  was  fa* 
bricated  in  the  I6th  century,  and  con- 
cealed  in  the  rabbit  warren,  where  it 
vas  afterwords  found*,  as  o  sort  of  gin 
for  catching    uofortunnte  antiquaries, 
on  the  hunt  for  genuine  inacriptiona. 
Thfre    is     indeed     no   contending 


llie  most  able  critical  demonstratioi 
of  the  authenticity  of  the  writingn 
the  Apostles  is  to  be  found  perhaps  i 
Patty's  Hora  Paulina!;  and  what  are 
his  strongest  proofs  ?       The   minutiae 
of  circumstances  detailed  in  the  wri 
tings  of  St.  Paul. 

With  respect  to  the  ehamctei 
on  the  seal  of  Beaumont,  Hi&lin^ 
of  Bnycox,  who  died  iu  1305.  resem-?* 
blind,  as  Mr.  Comey  asserts,  those 
thcTapcalry; — were  the  statement  to  be 
admitted  as  critically  correct,  it  would 
make  nothing  for  Mr.  Corney's  pro- 
position, for  the  chief  variation  of  ifae 
t-baracters  on  seals  from  the  time  of 
WilUam  Rofus  to  that  of  Henry  2nd 
is  the  occasional  introduction  of  the 
uncial  CC  ;  which  within  that  peril 
first  appears,  if  I  remember  rightly. 
on  the  seal  of  Maud  ;  but  the  same  ^ 
had  been  used  also  long  before,  on  the 
seal  of  Edward  the  Confessor.  Macli 
more  safe  would  be  Mr.  Comcy's  de- 
ductions, if  he  would  allow  me  to 
bring  back  bis  attention  to  the  monu- 
mrnt  of  the  Conqueror's  Queen  at 
Caen,  dismissing  in  candour  ihc  un-

his  successful  expetlition,  had  obtained

The  tn>op9ofthc  Conqueror's  army  arc 
drsignattd  as  t)rmtn  in  the  Bayeux 
Tapestry;  they  arc  designalcd  as 
fhtmd  in  the  records  of  the  time.  Ia 
this  a  circnmstaoce  to  be  explain- 
ed away,  or  mnrcyed  out  of  sight, 
by  Ony  titc-rary  special  pleading  and 
legerdemain — such  as  that  by  which 
my  opponent  endeavours  tu  annul 
the  evidence  of  the  Saxon  Dand  7  found 
both  in  the  Baytux  Tajtntry  and  in 
Dntuf^day  Book — hut  not  1  presume  un 
the  seal  of  the  worthy  Bi«hop  Beau- 
mont :  The  seal  of  the  Conqueror 
having  Oa  of  the  diamond  form,  C^ 
and  &swith  rectangular  turnings,  and 
S%  like  Z^  militates  nothing  against 
the  antiquity  of  the  charactcni  on  the 
Bayeux  Tapestry  ;  botli  the^e  and  the 
purer  Roman  forms  were  used  ;  and  if 
reosoniug  could  be  good  from  such 
data,  the  iteal  of  the  Conqueror,  as  "s 
new  conjecture,"  might  be  easily 
proved  to  be  older  than  that  of  Edward 
the  Confessor  !t  Again,  what  infc' 
rence  against  the  antiquity  of  the  in- 
scription would  Mr.  Corney  have  us 
draw  from  the  circumstance  that  the 
word  EpiscopuB  is  therein  abbreviated 
in  the  way  common  tu  several  centu- 
ries, Ep's  ?  1  see  no  defence  offered 
fur  the  most  extraordinary  suggestion 
that  the  Tapestry  was  not  of  agLUuinc 
character,  because  William  is  called 
in  the  inscriptions  Dux  not  Utx,  be- 
fore he  had  acquired  any  claim  to  the 
regal  title  !  Propriety  of  destznation, 
evidently,  in  my  adversary's  opinion, 
deserves  the  same  fote  as  "  propriety 
of  costume." 

I  am  happy  to  receive  Mr.  Corney'a 
explanation  relative  to  the  Saxan^s 
Bttjociunni,  and  t  trust  it  was  no  in- 
excusable misapprehension  of  his 
meaning,  which  made  me  conceive  that 
he  pointed  at  a  colony  of  Angia-Sttx- 
ons.  1  bad  no  intention  of  disturbing 
Mr.  Corney's  serenity  to  the  extent 
which  be  describes  ;  nevertheless  a  few 
examples  of  that  northern  dialect, 
stilt  prevalent,  as  he  suys,  at  Bayeux, 
might  have  been  acceptable.

cerely apologise.  1  cimniil,  however, 
hut  conceive  bin  reading  and  acquire* 
nients  fully  merit  that  distinction  -,  he 
has  sufficiently  displayed  in  the  pro- 
grean  of  his  essay  his  acquaintance

title him  to  a  degree  at  Somerset 
House ;  hut  he  has  done  nothing  more, 
and  he  will  pardon  my  "  baldness"  if 
1  mointnin  that  none  of  the  ancient 
nuthors  he  has  cited,  and  which  assume 
such  imposing  attitudes  in  the  margin 
of  hi*  communications,  attired  in  folio, 
quarUt,  or  oct.ivo,  have  any  direct  or 
indirect  ticoring  in  support  of  bis  im- 
putaliuai  against  the  antiquity  of  the 
Uayeux  Tapestry-  The  wliole  of  bis 
attack,  divested  of  the  ho»t  of  writers 
which  he  has  thus  forcibly  enlistetl  to 
ciivcr  his  advance,  may  indeed  be  re- 
duccil  to  the  simple  ground  that  the 
Tspefitry  is  not  described  as  the  gift 
nf  the  Conqueror's  queen,  in  the  inven- 
tory of  ornaments  bclont^ing  to  the 
cathedral  at  Buyrux  made  io  the  Ifith

cuurtcsy  to  terra  them,  aie  like  the 
skirmislicrs  thrown  out  in  front,  to 
mask  the  movement  of  an  army  by  the 
diversion  which  their  numbers,  noise,

chroniclers  gives  the  minutio:  of  the

Thus  we  find,  in  William  of  Pulctou^ 
the  statement  that  the  army  of  Harold 
was  so  numerous  that  it  drank  up 
rivers  and  rooted  up  whole  forests  in 
its  march !  "In  ejus  transitu  flumina 
epotata,  eiWas  id  planum  redaclaa 
fuisse."  Ilow  different  this  from  the 
matter-of-fact  style  of  the  tapestry, 
where  the  Normnn  army  on  its  march 
to  the  tit'ld  of  battle  is  represented  aa 
burning  a  single  house.  "  Hie  domos 
incenditur,"  ^seethe  inscription).  May 
1  Tuk  whether  this  circumstance, 
related  with  such  plainness  and  nntu- 
ral  simplicity,  was  likely  to  be  dictated 
by  the  learned  fabricator  of  the  Ta- 
pestry to  his  "  operatives"  one  hun.

No  serious  ubjeclion  was  taken  by 
roe  to  Mr.  Carney's  proposed  consti- 
tution of  a  jury  of  antiquarioa  to  try 
the  claims  of  tbe  Bayeux  Tapestry  to

and  he  names  OS  someor  thent^  Carthage 
in  AfricH,  Thebes  in  Bceotin,  and  Ca- 
dis on  the  Atlantic  Ocean  (Gades  ad 
oceanum).*  "  I  believe/'  he  adds, 
"  that,  wandering  on  the  open  sea 
(libcro  mare),  and  more  commonly 
going  to  lands  unknown  to  others, 
(ceteris  incognitas  terras),  they  have 
chosen  settlements  for  tlieir  young 
people,  of  whom  they  had  then  a  great 
number." 

The  coming  of  Agcnor  into  Phce- 
nicia  must  have  been  nearly  coinci- 
dent with  that  of  the  Israelites  into 
Canaan ;  since  Cadroas,  his  son,  is 
considered  to  have  migrated  into 
Greece  in  the  time  of  Joshua,  when 
Sidon  was  so  large — as  we  see  in 
Josh.  c.  xix.  V.  2p — as  to  be  called 
Sidon  the  GrMt,  WSl  \n*ff. 

As  it  is  not  eaay  lo  decide  exactly 
what  Q.  Curtiua  means  hy  the  Tiinre 
vicinum;  so  wc  cannot  say  wlielherhe 
intends  by  his  marf  ijundcvtujnfi,  the 
wcMernpart  of  the  Mediterranean  sea, 
or  the  Atlantic  ocean  ;  but  the  landii 
unknown  toother  nations,  which  the 
rhocniciana  found  by  \i*andering  on 
the  open  sea,  could  hardiv  be  within 
the  pillars  of  Hercules,  tnough  it  is 
not  clear  whether  ihev  were  the  coasla 
of  Spain  or  Poitugaf,  or  the  British 
Islands,  or  neither. 

We  have  a  full  pixiof  that  the  Phm- 
nicians  went  out  into  the  Atlantic 
ocean  in  the  exi&tencc  of  their  Bciilc 
ment  ofCadi?. ;  called  l>y  the  Romans 
GadeA,  and  by  themselves  Gadir.  the 
Fort ;  from  lit  to  build  a  wall,  or  to 
be  girt. 

One  of  their  articles  of  commerce 
was  mnhfT,  nnd  another  was  tin ;  both 
of  which  the  Greeks  ^ot  frnm  them  in 
very  early  limes.  Homer  (Iliad,  B.  ii, 
25)t  and  Pliuy  (lib.  xxxiv.)  give 
us  to  understand  that  tin  was  in  use 
among  the  Greeks  at  the  time  of  the 
aicge  of  Troy  ;  and  Homer  spcuks  of 
wrought  amber  in  one  place  In  the 
Odyas.  B.  1 .  78.

amber,  they  got  it  where  it  «iu  to  be 
had;  and  If  they  collected  it  in  large 
quantities,  they   went  to  those  shoret 
whi-rc  much  of  it  was   produced.     In 
the   Penny  Cyclopwdia  it  is  !«tatcd,  on 
the  authority  of  Uerselius,  Traite  d« 
Chimie,  vi.  215.  that  amber  is  a  car 
bonanous    mineral,    which  occurs  i 
beds  of  lignite  in  Greenland,  Prusttia, 
France,  Switzerland,  aud  some  othf 
countries ;  and  that  the  tfn'atcr  portion 
of  it  comes  from  the  suuthern  coasts  of 
the  Baltic  sea,  where  it  is  thrown  up 
between  Konigsbn-y  and  Mfimut :  and  it 
is  tuinled  from  Ann.  de  Chimie,    ivi, 
2lj,  Uiat  it  is  obtained   by  mining  at 
a  distance  of  two  l)un<]red  feet  from 
the  sea,  and  about  one  hundred  feet 
deep;   and     from    Aiken's    Diet,    of 
Chemistry,  that  it  isoccasiunally  met 
with  in  the  gravel  beds  near  London  ( 
but,  as  it   is   not  so   likely  ihot  the 
Phcenicians  mined  in  England  or  else- 
where for  Lhcir  amber,  as  that  they 
got  it  from  the  sea  shore,  we  have  only 
to  dpcide  on  what  shore  they  found  it. 
But    I    find   this  qtieslion    so   well 
treated    by  Depping,  in  his   Histolre 
G^n^rale  de  t*£fpagac,  B.  3.  that  I 
cannot  do   better  than  Iranslate  his 
reasoning  on  it.

a  name,  as  he  thinks,  coined  by  (hem- 
Bolvea ;  and  wc  knuw  that  between  K6- 
nigeberg  and  Memel,  where  so  much 
amber  is  found,  the  river  Merael  falls 
into  the  «ca,  between  the  Vistula  on 
the  aoutb-west,  and  the  Ovina  on  the 
north-eaat.  Me  had  heard  of  Tin 
Islands  in  the  remote  part«  of  Europe 
towards  the  west,  and  such  it^landsare 
found  in  the  Scilly  or  Sorline  Iftlands, 
or  in  ft  large  sense  in  the  British  la- 
lands  ;  and  the  immense  distance  of 
these  parts  of  Europe  from  Tyre,  or 
at  tcajat  from  Greece,  is  implied  in  his 
assertion,  that  tin  and  amber  came 
from  the  most  remote  parts,  /f  'V^u- 
rijf  ;  so  that  we  mast  believe,  on  the 
one  hand,  that  he  had  beard  of  a  sea, 
a  river,  and  islands,  lying  as  (hey  lie, 
and  producing,  as  Ihey  always  have 
produced,  amber  and  tin  ;  and  all  this 
propagated  fiom  fancy  by  people  who 
knew  nothing  more  of  such  plates  than 
what  ibey  had  seen  in  a  wonderfully 
true  geographical  dream ; — or  un  the 
other  hand,  we  must  conclude  that 
some  nation  had  reached  those  places, 
and  brought  amber  and  tin  from  them ; 
and  that  nation  could  be  no  other,  as 
we  are  told  they  were  no  other,  than 
the  navigating  Fha-niciaus  who  man- 
ned Ihe  ships  of  Tanshish. 

Aristotle  talks  of  Keltic  tin  ;  and 
Strsbo  df.scribes  these  inlands,  as  well 
as  Britain,  to  be  opposite  Artabri,  or 
Qallicia,  in  Spain,  but  northward ; 
and  places  them  within  the  British 
climate  (Geog.  lib.  ii.) ;  and  in  ano. 
ther  passage  (lib.  ii.).  be  states  them 
to  be  beyond  the  pillars  of  Hercules, 
joining  them  with  the  British  islands

M.  a\RU.  in  his  History  of  Dri-

It  mu6t  be  owned,  the  thtrury  and 
the  practice  of  this  eminent  Hi^ituriau 
are  at  variance.  While  be  condemns

second  ia  the  coospimcy  at  Venice, 
which  St.  Real  and  Otway  have  made 
so  interesting.     Why  then  should  he 
complain   of    inve^liKatiun,   when   Ins  • 
own  -vrritingB  derive  fraui  it  so  muchj 
of  their  value  ?     Perhaps,  if  he  wished  I 
to  shield  the  exploita  ot    H^illiam  TeU 
from    these    mtnuive    inquiries,    bti  | 
would  have  done  better  to  avoid  al-  j 
lading  to  the  subject,  than  to  inform  i 
the  reader  that  any  uncertainty  vr%* 
connected  with  hia  name. 

In  fact,  there  is  an  uncertainty,  hyj 
no  means  easily  cleared  up,  connected  I 
with  the  glorious  name  of  VViltianij 
Tell.  If  any  writers  have  argued  I 
that  he  never  existed,  they  have  in-! 
dulged  a  love  of  pami.lox  much  beyondl 
its  legitimate  limit.  Out  it  cannot  be  [ 
denied,  that  doubts  liang  over  his  his-  \ 
tory,  and  that  they  arc  of  a  very  per-  J 
plciiog  kind  to  &uch  as  woo  Id  iosisti

th&t    bis    zeal    in   this    respect  was 
greater  than  his  critical  sagacity. 

Supposing,  however,  that  this  Saga 
were  given  up  as  a  forgery,  insuperable 
reasons  for  doubt  would  still  remain. 
ThcDanish  historian,  Saxo  Gramma- 
tirus,  who  flourished  in  the  twelfth  and 
thirteenth  centuries,  about  a  hundred 
years  before  William  Tell  (and  who 
therefore  cannot  besuspectedof attempt- 
ing to  detract  from  Aif  fame),  relates  a 
kimilar  circumstance.  In  his  account, 
the  tyrant  is  Harald,  surnamtd  Blaa- 
iand,' or  Blueteptkt  who  succeeded  to 
the  crown  of  Denmark  in  935,  and 
was  killed  iu  085,  after  a  reign  which 
was  marked  by  great  vicissitudes.  The 
hero  is  Faloatoke,  chief  of  the  Danish 
pirates  in  the  tenth  century,  and  le- 
^iflator  of  the  piratical  republic  of 
jomefibcrg,  whose  daughter  v,a*  mar- 
ried to  Sweno,  the  bon  of  llaraliJ.  It 
is  ceitain.  that  Talnatoke  killed  the 
King  of  Denmark  with  an  arrow,  hut 
for  what  reason  Harald  ordered  biro 
to  shoot  at  the  apple  placed  on  ht4 
son's  head,  the  Danish  historian  has 
neglected  to  state.  This  authority, 
however,  is  sufficient  tu  raise  a  doubt, 
as  to  the  genuineness  of  the  received 
count  of  7'ell. 

In  1760,  M.  Uriel  Freudeobcrger 
of  Berne,  pastor  of  Glervsse,  published 
a  Hhiory  of  WiHinm  TMl.  in  which 
he  had  the  hardihood  to  call  some  of 
his  exploits  in  question,  and  particu- 
larly that  of  the  apple,  which  he 
termed  a  Dmith/able,  grounding  his 
arenment  on  Saxo's  narrative.  M.Tbc- 
nphilus  Haller  (son  of  the  celebrated 
Haller)  mentions  this  work,  in  his 
BihhotheqM  raitonn^  deB  nuvraf/ct  rtla- 
tift  i  Vkittairt  de  Saiut,  and  says 
that  the  Canton  of  L'ri  (in  their  zeal 
for  the  meiDor}- of  their  patriot),  caused 
it  to  be  burned  by  the  hand  of  the 
executioner.  But,  an  M.  Malte-Brun 
observes,  the  repu blic  wcu Id  have 
done  better  to  have  refuted  it  bythc  pro- 
ductioo  of  hi:>torical  documents.  A 
Tiodication  was  undertaken,  not  by  a 
native  of  Uii,  but  of  Lucerne,  M.  Felix 
de  Baltbsar,  president  of  the  munici- 
pal council  of  its  capiul  city.  He 
pobliahed.  in  the  same  year  as  M. 
Freudenberger's  work  appeared  ((760) 
a  Dtfmct  of  William  T-ll.  in  which  he 
could  only  appeal  to  traditional  au- 
thority ;  nevertheless  the  Canton  of 
Uri  rewarded  him  for  his  andcrtaking

It  h  surprising  that,  with  this  idea 
in  hii  mind,  he  did  not  treat  the  story 
of  the  apple  as  a  repetition  of  a 
northern  act  of  di-hpolism,  puiiiahed 
in  the  fame  way  as  formerly.  But 
this  supimsitioD*  would  have  bcca 
hazardous  indeed. 

Some  German  writers  have  main- 
taincd,  that  the  passage  in  Sazo  Gram - 
maticus  h  an  tntcrpolatioo,  made  after 
the  event  had  happened  in  Switzer- 
land. This  bold  hypothesis  has  little 
probability  to  recommend  it.  Others 
are  inclined  to  consider  all  these  stories 
as  fabulous.  M.  Malte-Brun,  on  the 
contrary,  views  them  as  a  single  oc- 
currence, which  he  supposes  to  have 
taken  jitace  at  a  very  remote  period* 
His  opinion  is  thus  expressed,  in 
a  memoir  on  the  subject  of  Eoill,

"  The  author  of  this  orticle  (he  ■&>'»)

DitioDS,  at  tb«  period  when,  under  the 
Dame  of  Sueft,  tliey  formed  but  a  single 
peoplp." 

Id  that  case  we  must  ecck  a  distant 
soorce  for  ii*  origin.  When  we  fiod 
it  attributed  in  one  place  to  Palna- 
toke,  and  in  another  to  Gill,  we  may 
presume  that  it  belongs  to  neither,  but 
to  some  earlier  per^ionage.  The  fol- 
lowers of  CKlin  are  considered  to  have 
Tnigratcd  with  their  leader  from  Asia, 
as  their  appellation  jtta  intintates. 
In  Uiat  i]uarter  then  miDdt  we  seek  for 
the  original  event,  but  in  what  country 
is  doubtful,  as  it  may  have  travelled 
from  one  to  anolbcr.  It  is  pre- 
cisely such  a  Irait  as  mi^ht  be  ex* 
|>ected  in  ilic  history  of  Znhaii,  the 
Persian  tyrant  (whom  some  cuni^ider 
to  be  the  tame  as  Sardanapalus,  be- 
caase  lie  was  dclhroocd  by  a  revolu- 
tion) ;  or  in  that  of  Cambyses  at  a 
rather  later  epoch.  Does  the  Shah- 
Nameh  of  Ferdusi,  which  has  never 
b«eo  entirely  translated  into  English, 
contain  any  similar  tale  ?  The  Beth- 
Gellert  anecdote,  which  is  usually 
attributed  to  a  WeUb  prince,  has  been 
found  in  the  Indian  Hitopadcs,  only 
with  the  variation  of  a  serpent  for  a 
wolf;  yet  in  its  nature  it  is  more 
likely  to  have  occurred  twice  over, 
mutati*  mufattilit,  tlian  the  story  of 
Tell.  Or  when  Chinese  literature  be- 
comes more  fully  explored,  something 
of  the  kind  may  be  discovered.  At 
all  events,  the  claims  of  Switzerland 
real  upon  uncertain  ground ;  nod  much 
us  we  may  regrrt  that  so  brilliant  an 
episode  may  have  to  be  retrenched 
from  its  history,  still  the  first  consider- 
ation is  truth.  Nnr  indeed  is  the 
moral  effect  of  the  incident  le^DCDCMt, 
by  shiflin;;  its  scene.  No  rhiimctLT  is

There  is  also  an  Englisb  version  of

silion  can  be  deduced  from  it,  as  it 
occurs  afier  the  acra  of  Tell,  It  la

"The  names  of  the  TTircc  Archers,*' 
printed  by  William  Copland,  in  Loth 
bory.  black  letter,  without  date.  Dr. 
Percy  has  given  it  in  his  Reliquos  of 
Ancient  Poetry  ;  Mr.  Strutl  has  iutio- 
duced  the  passage  alluded  to.  in  hi 
S|K>rts  and  Piutimes  ;t  end  M.TTiierry,! 
without  noticing  this  particular  inci- 
dent, has  treated  the  ballad  as  matter 
of  history,  in  his  work  on  the  Norm, 
conquest.  His  obaervalions  upon  it^ 
no  doubt,  ore  just. 

"  There  Is  not  much  faith  to  be  attached 
to  the  psrUi^uInrs  it  contains  ;  hut  we  fini

Dr.  Percy  places  the  ballad  contoi

of  that  date,  the  characters  probabl 
belong,  as  M.  Thierry  supposes,  to

The  Gaelic  Controveny — Punk  and  Iriak. 


[Aug. 


Ma.  UasATt. 

1  AM  afraid  that  tho  lubjectn  on 
wliich  I  happen  lo  (lifter  with  Sir 
Willium  Botliniii  arc  uf  tou  eilem.ive 
a  laogc,  anJ,  t  mar  add,  too  dry  a  na- 
ture, to  be  discussed  in  your  period- 
ical. The  chief  point,  however,  ia 
the  identity  of  the  ancieat  funic  and 
Irish  tnnguagCB,  which  1  have  not  as 
yet  been  able  to  pcrc<>ivB ;  and  I 
atrongly  suspect  that  O'Neachtan.  the 
origioal  trunaposer  or  manufacturer  of 
the  Punic  scene  into  Iri»h  had  nothing 
more  in  view  than  an  iitnocent  hoax.  1 
iiavc  already  stated  some  triHlug  ob- 
jections to  the  process  employed  in 
O'Ncachtan's  performance  ;  but  I  am 
afraid  Sir  William  has  mistaken  the 
nature  of  these,  when  he  says,  "  the 
mostancteut  copies  have  uodivisian^of 
wordfl.andifFiuitGu  AIL  will  point  out 
any  other  process  for  roakini*  out  its 
meaoing  besides  that  of  dividing  it 
into  words  and  fiyll&bles,  he  will  do 
what  I  confess  I  have  not  been  able 
toacc()mpll).h.  althoQgh  that  system  is 
declared  inadmis^iible  to  common 
sense."  Xow  I  am  quite  certain  that 
1  never  could  have  been  so  unreason- 
able as  to  object  to  this  very  natural 
mode  of  arrivine^  at  an  author's  mean- 
ing, it  being  really  a  process  in  which 
I  have  had  some  experience  rnvself, 
and  I  confess  I  knew  of  none  better. 
My  objections  were  of  a  quite  differ- 
ent nature.  In  tlie  first  place,  tli« 
text  uf  Plautus  which  ia  pitched  upon 
differs  vpidely  from  that  of  later  edi- 
tions ;  but  we  will  let  that  pass.  In 
the  second  place,  there  is  too  preat  a 
liberty  taken  with  the  text,  in  throw- 
ing away  letters  that  are  ohjectionabU, 
and  adding  others  that  may  prove 
UMf/ul;  fur  instance,  in  the  very  first 
line,  eight  lettert  are  thrown  oul  of 
lh»  I'unic.  ntui  fourlrrn  nfw  wim  addod 
in  the  Irish,  which  I  am  afraid  i«  not 
ihe  fairest  way  of  making  out  the 
meaning  of  I'laotus,  however  it  mny 
favour  &at of O'Nf-achtan.  3dly,  ilii* 
process  being  gone  through,  we  have 
what  is  called  the  Irish  j  bat  unfor. 
tunatcly  it  furoinbes  such  a  specimen 
of  Irish  etymology  and  syntax  as  1 
will  vfniurf  to  «ay  never  rxIsttHl.

question.    5thly,    The    Irish    ap 
being  thus  manufactured,  and  total^ 
fiee  from  any  thing  like  senee,  bean 
as  a  matter  uf  course,  no  rc^emblanc 
lo  the  Latin    version  a«Jded,  as 
best  scholars  belitve,  bv  PUutus  him-'^ 
self. 

lu  order  tu  illustrate  further  these 
remorks,  let  us  take  the  two  first  lines  ; 
and  let  us  for  a  moment  suppose  that 
after  process  second,  the  words  are 
hhndjidv  Irish.  The  meaning  which  i 
they  convey  in  that  state  will  l^^| 
something  as  follows  :  "  Mighty  laoj^^ 
of  Heaven,  terrible,  powerful,  fix  me 
unto  peace, — weak  captive,  remember, 
if  it  is  thy  will, — my  children  catch 
hold  of  my  weariness!!!"  Now  1  ap. 
peal  to  any  Gaelic  scholar,  whether 
the  words  in  the  above  Unes,  suppos- 
ing them  to  be  Gaelic,  could  hear  any 
other  constnfction.  Of  course  it  may 
be  said  that  the  Irish  syntax  ha 
changed  a  little  since  the  olden  dnyi 
when  the  gallant  Captain  .-Eneas  uso 
it  (as  I  suppose  he  did)  in  blarneyii3_ 
the  too  coofidmg  widow  of  Carthogei 
(peibaps  by  the  way,  the  widow  mi 
have  been  a  bit  of  a  blue,  and  ha 
learned  Greekj  Dot,  to  return  to  th~ 
above  lines, — the  manufactarer  is  oblig- 
ed to  recast  this  first  process  into 
what  he  calls  the  "  Irish  vcrbum] 
verbo,"  in  order  to  makA  a  shew 
speech  cut  of  it;  and  assuredly  whafl 
all  is  done,  the  comic  I'lautus  wonk' 
not,  in  ail  human  probability,  thiol 
himself  greatlv  flattered  by  the  metal 
morphosis,  wbich  finally  runs  iJiusj 
"O  mightyDeity  of  this  country,  pov 
crful,  terrible!  i(uiet  me  with  rest, 
support  of  weak  captives  j  he  thy  wil 
to  instruct  nc  to  obtain  my  children 
oAcr  my  fatigue."  Plautus's  Iraaa^ 
lation  of  tliesc  two  lines  is  as  followsi 
■■  Decs  deatquc  veneror,  qui  hanc  uf 
bem  cnlunt, — Ut,  quod  de  mca  rr  hn 
veni,  rite  vencrim."  Now  the 
have  said  that  "  il.i.-'-  il:«' 
to  the  burnc  t'/. 
other  ;  "  hence  i', 
Plautus  has  done  ju&uco  to  the 
original.  O'Neachtan  ka$  not.

the  PvBic.  Hence  the  aianaractarer 
has  oTcnfaot  hu  mark,  and  has  really 
given  OS  Irish  for  three  Panic  line*, 
beliering  that  he  has  dome  only  for 
two.  Tlu  consequence  is  that  be  is 
thenceforth  applying  his  translation 
Of  I  may  so  call  it)  to  the  wrong  text  by 
one  line  or  more  throngbont ! ! !  How- 
erer,  as  the  resemblance  of  the  Irish 
version  to  the  Latin  and  to  common 
sense  really  amounts  to  nothing,  this 
blander  is  of  very  little  consequence. 
As  I  have  been  obliged  frequently  in 
these  letters  to  express  my  disbelief 
in  the  soundness  of  O'Neachtao's  In- 
cnbrations,  I  may  now  as  well  pro- 
ceed ;  and  by  your  leave,  Mr.  Urban, 
I  will  thorooghly  expose  the  process 
employed  in  the  mannfacture  of  a 
single  line  of  the  Panic  into  Irish. 
This  will  quite  suffice  as  a  specimen, 
"ct  crimine  ab  ano — dlsceomnes."  I 
shall  take  the  6fth  line  of  the  Panic, 
which  in  the  edition  used  by  O'Neach- 
tan  runs  thus. — "  Bythlym  mothyn 
DOCtotfaiiTelechaatidasmachon."  Now 
obacnre  the  ingenuity  of  the  first  step 
in  the  process  when  this  line  is  cat 
down  into  "  tronb  <md  afllahiet,  as  a 
preparatory  step  for  making  it  Irish. 
"  Bjrth  lym  mo  thym  noctothii  nel  ech 
an  ti  daisc  machon."  Of  coarse  the 
cutting  down  of  the  words  is  perfectly 
fair;  but  I  would  ask  is  it  fair,  or 
honest  at  the  same  time,  to  smoggle  in 
new  letters  in  place  of  others  of  a  to- 
tally different  character,  and  still  pre- 
tend that  it  is  the  geoaine  Poaic  origi- 
nal /  You  will  observe  that  in  this  step 
the  syllable  Ikyn  is  changed  into  thym, 
and  the  syllable  vel  into  nel,  which 
ennaing  changes  are  highly  conducive 
to  the  next  step,  which  isthecoDversioo 
of  the  last  process  into  the  raw  Iritk.  In 
this  conversion  the  vowels  undergo  a 
(caiial  revolution,  and  at  the  same 
time  two  new  consonants  make  their 
tppcarmnce.  Thus  "  Beith  lioin,  mo 
thime  noctaithe,  niel  achtan  ti  daisic 
mac  coinne."  Now  the  individual 
words  here  may  be  (or  rather  may 
have  been)  Irish,  but  where  is  the 
sense  ?  It  is  said  to  be  as  fullows, 
"  be  with  me,  my  fears  being  dis- 
ekwed,  I  have  no  other  intenticn  but 
icstning  my  daughters."  Suppoaing 
tfus  translation  true,  converts  the 
worthy  man's  prayer  into  downright 
■OBBcnse.  1  wonld  ask  what  were  his 
lean,  and  when  were  they  disclosed? 


Ahan  all,  has  he  not  tie  tntesti?n  etf* 
recovering  his  nephew  as  -rtlL  as  his 
dan^ten?  I  may  furiher  mec^oa 
that  the  translatioa  of  this  Ir.th  mor~ 
ecna  is  vrry  /n*;  the  m^Mzlzz  if, 
merely,  "  be  with  me,  oixltKc  my  f*ar, 
there  is  not  but  the  iatestioa  of  re- 
storing my.  danzhter-ia-law."*'qB:«d 
quidem  absardnm  est." 

I  have  already  mea-.ijsed  hew  the 
manafacturer  got  out  of  kif  rcck:«oing 
in  the  first  two  bnes,  aad  co&ti&acs 
floundering  more  and  more  as  Le  pro- 
ceeds. Of  coarse,  about  the  fifth  line 
he  wonld  have  been  stitl  farther 
adrift,  had  i:  not  fortuna^iy  happened 
that  a  line  of  the  Punic  is  lost,  so  that 
the  fiflh  of  the  Panic  agrees  with  *Jie 
sixth  of  the  Latin.  It  happeci,  bow. 
ever,  that  the  real  meaninz  o(  this  fifth 
line  may  be  pretty  well  identified  with 
the  Latin,  from  the  ocrareoce  of  a 
proper  name  which  seems  to  have  e*. 
caped  the  manafacturer 's  notice.  By 
a  collation  of  ma,na%ripts  it  ha«  l^een 
found  that  the  last  portion  of  the  lice 
is  really  antidamascbon,  and  not  acti- 
dasmacboa  as  given  in  the  e-^l*-ion  of 
14S2.  The  meaning  of  the  aVAe  iias 
then,  ai  siven  by  Plantas  hitn^tlf,  is, 
"  Sed  hie  m;ht  antehac  fao^pes  ar^;':- 
damas  fuit."  In  like  manner  T^e  can 
identify  the  next  line  bet  one,  both  in 
the  Panic  and  Latin,  by  the  occur- 
rence of  the  word  .\gora»toci^f.  It  i* 
perfectly  clear  then,  that  the  pretended 
Irish  has  nothing  to  do  with  the 
meantM^  of  the  original ;  and  this  teinj; 
the  case,  1  wij  undertake  to  convert 
the  Punic  liac  into  very  plain  London 
English,  and  that  too  withoot  any 
greater  violation  of  the  original  than 
O'Neachlan  hu  committed. 

For  example  then,  in  proce«9  the 
first,  I  cut  down  my  Panic  thut :  "  By 
th  lym  roothyr  nocton  thii  vel  ech  an 
ti  dasc  machon."  where  you  will  ob. 
serve,  I  have,  in  imitation  of  my  pre- 
decessor, slyly  changed  an  a  into  an  r 
in  the  word'  motkyn,  and  I  have  cun- 
ningly inserted  an  n  in  the  word  ii<«- 
ton.  This  done,  I  have  merely  to 
change  and  inj»crt  vowels,  and  ho  jump 
into  the  plain  English  of  the  mat- 
ter at  once,  thus :  "  iiy  the  loom ! 
Mother  Knockdown,  thsy  will  ache 
in  thy  du^ky  machine."  Kcavm^  the 
most  plausible  may  be  advanced  in 
favour  of  this  translation.  Finstly,  the

mattoa  "  By  the  loom !  "  would 
be  or  course  one  of  the  most  natural 
in  Itie  langua^.  Mother  Kaock- 
down  waa  a  refl{)cctable  wiilow  of  the 
place,  the  proprietress  of  the  Diligence 
in  which  the  old  f;cutlonian  had  ju&t 
arriveil,  and  to  which  he  feelingly  al- 
ludes aB  "  the  dusky  machins"  afore- 
eaid.  Imagine  thejoUiogbe  bad  sus- 
tained along  the  rough  roads  of 
Greece,  »uch  aa  they  were  in  those 
daya.  He  arrives  tn  a  ktraogu  city,  in 
none  of  the  best  of  humours,  and  be- 
gins a  prayer  to  the  gods  and  goddesses 
of  the  place;  and  as  bis  bones  still 
ached  under  the  effects  uf  his  rough  ride, 
he  very  naturally,  at  line  fifth,  apos* 
tropbiscs,  "  Mother  Knockilown's  ma- 
chine."  as  uo  small  source  of  bis  pre< 
aent  misery.  1  need  uot  here  point 
out  to  you  and  your  judicious  readers 
how  the  ver)'  metre  and  rythmus  of 
the  original  are  preserved  in  the 
Knglish,  which  is  a  further  proof,  if 
needed,  of  their  Identity. 

In  addition  to  this,  1  could  write  a 
Tolumc  of  excellent  collatctal  proofs, 
BO  as  to  satisfy  the  must  sceptical 
of  your  readers,  that  John  Bull  is 
the  genuine  descendant  of  the  an- 
cient Phenicions.  The  national  appel- 
lation Bull  is,  by  the  soundest  nili's  of 
etymology,  identical  with  the  I'beni- 
cioa  word  Btl  or  ftaal.  What  else 
can  be  its  derivation  ?  Surely  you 
do  not  imagine  timt  it  is  the  same  as 
the  word  hatl,  which  signifielh  a 
beast ;  or  the  Pope's  paper  Hull,  fur 
which  John  does  nut  care  one  straw. 
Then  mark  the  similarity  between 
the  English  ond  i'bcniciaiis  as 
rommcrcial  nations.  Do  not  the 
aliips  of  the  I^ngUtifa  in  our  days  cover 
ihe  hcoL,  as  those  of  the  Phertecians 
did  III  theirs  ?  but  1  will  not  weary 
you  any  further  on  the  subject. 

1  cru-tl  that  I  have  now  said  (|uile 
enough  to  shew  that  tliere  is  uo 
great  merit  in  convening  the  Punic 
scene  into  Irish;  and  1  om  only

open  for  discussion  ;  the  views  of 
O'NeachLaa  having  received  the 
sanction  of  such  high  names  as  those 
of  Sir  William  Dethara,  and  the  au- 
thors of  a  valuable  work  published  in 
Edinburgh,  entitled,  "Encyclopaedia  of 
Geography."  For  this  reason  1  have 
deemed  it  but  right  fur  once  to  enter 
into  a  somewhat  lengthened  detail  of 
the  nierils  of  this  strange  case.  It 
would  be  waste  of  time  to  expose  the 
whole  of  the  Punic  Irish  scene.  Yon 
will  perceive  from  what  I  have  htated 
that  the  Punic  may  be  converted  into 
ICngli-jb  or  any  othtr  language  with  as 
nmch  truth  as  intu  Irish.  In  fact  J 
am  surprised  tliat  O'Neachtan  has  not 
made  a  better  thiug  of  it.  It  seems  to 
ine  that  as  the  man  of  Carthage  is  ei- 
cmpted  from  speaking  sense  in  his 
Irish  speech ;  there  was  no  occa.'iioit 
to  take  such  liberties  with  the  original 
OS  O'Neachtan  has  doue.  I  may  men 
tion  lliat  the  line  which  I  have  abovftj 
cimniued  is  the  one  /eas/ altered  in  ihe^ 
prnccds ;  and  it  sccros  even  to  havi 
cicitcd  the  admiration  of  Mr.T.  Mootc, 
the  pnel  and  histutiaa  uf  Ireland. 
Hence  Ge^enius  infers  "  candem  cob- 
Jectui'am  Thnra.  Rloorio  plaruisse," 
which  is  by  no  means  the  case.  Mr. 
Moore  had  tuu  much  good  sense  li 
admit  any  eoif/ecfure  of  the  kind  ;  am 
had  he  been  conversant  with  the  lan- 
guage nf  his  native  country,  I  am 
fident  that  he  would  have  long  a^ 
cided  this  question.  In  fact  what  h* 
shrewdly  slates  on  the  subject,  thougl 
included  in  a  single  sentence,  is  worti 
a  volume.  lu  the  History  of  Ira- 
land,  page  60,  where  Mr.  Mi 
alludes  to  this  question,  he  Mya^< 
"The  learned  aotiqunry  would  ho' 
ever  in  his  artlour  prove  loo  much 
and,  parailo:iicftl  as  the  assertion  ma; 
uplH-tir,  the  luoie  complt-leiy  his  pre-' 
tcuik-d  co^e  19  made  oat,  ihe  murv 
improbable  it  becomes."

ditfet  line  of  argument,  whereof  more 
hereafler.  1  may  mentioa  too,  io 
pttuiag,  that  1  was  preveatcd  by 
urgent  engagements  from  replying  to 
these  gcntlcmcD  loat  month  ;  ani)  I  am 
afraid  I  have  already  occupied  too 
much  of  your  time  and  space,  to  enter 
BO  fully  upon  the  sabjert  now  a^  it  de- 
Hcrves.  For  several  rettsons  1  wtll 
first  reply  to  R.  G'a  letter,  which  you 
have  placed  tost.  That  gentleman  ap- 
pears  to  have  examined  the  subject 
dispassionately,  as  an  inquirer  after 
truth  ought  to  do ;  aud  though  he 
may  think  it  no  very  great  compli- 
ment, I  have  to  thank  him  sincerely 
for  his  fair  dealing  and  honesty  to- 
wards me.  It  is  true  he  argues  tn 
some  cases  cleverly  and  ingeniously, 
like  one  who  is  "cunning  in  his  art;" 
but  th(;se  are  qualities  which  in  debate 
are  fair  ond  honourahle,  and  I  re- 
spect him  none  the  less  for  his  skill  in 
the  use  ofhis  wcaiMns.  fiut  I  suspect 
that  he  trusts  more  to  hin  own  abilities 
than  to  the  soundncsfi  of  his  cau&e  — 
in  short,  that  he  argues  as  we  used  to 
do  at  ftchool.  and  debating  societiefl, 
merely  for  argument's  sake.  Now 
this  is  all  very  well  for  idle  men,  and 
Hchoolboys.  but  for  my  own  part  I 
have  not  the  least  ambition  tn  bo  din- 
linguishcd  (hat  way.  I  will  for  once, 
however,  reply  to  R.  G.  in  detail, 
though  I  muKt  aay  that  it  encroaches 
greatly  upon  my  lime,  without  the  con- 
solation  of  having  anythiag  new  to 
advance. 

In  the  first  place,  R.  G.'s  exa- 
mination of  the  worda  in  Ncilson'a 
Grammar  is  no  true  criterion  ;  [  have 
repeatedly  stated  that  substanti  ves  may 
be  the  common  property  of  totally 
different  languages,  of  which  K.  G.  is 
welt  aware.  In  the  second  place  he 
states,  that  he  can  identify  seventy 
Gaelic  verbs  out  of  a  Iji^t  of  twu  hun- 
dred as  common  to  the  Welch.  'I'liesc 
he  ought  to  have  shewn  on  pa|>er  i 
far  my  own  jiart  I  urn  ol'raid  th^t  1 
should  object  to  the  ctymoloj^icnl  pro- 
cess by  which  even  the  fraction  of  une- 
third  in  the  aforesaid  W^*.  nir;;ht  be 
made  to  agree.   I  tru"  ■iot"a 

la  Uoxaa."  such  a  /,  from

many    Gaelic    worda    without    being 
n  Gaelic  language;  I   mentioned  that 
the   Persian  of  the   prevent  day  uses 
Arabic   words,  to  the  extent  ofnboutj 
two-thirds   of   its  vocaliles,  and  stiU 
is  a  language    of  a   totally   different^ 
origin.      Now,    H-    G.  most  adroitly 
puts  the  Gaelic  in  the  situation  of  the 
Persian,  and  remarks  thereon,  "  If  th«| 
Gael  were  to  renounce  every  termver-l 
nacular  to  the  Welch  they  could  not 
make  an  intelligible  translation  of  any 
one  chapter   of  the  New  Teslnmenl."  ^ 
Aye,  aye,  Mr.  K.  G.  not  so  faat  if  youl 
please;  if  the  Arabs  were  to  give  upj 
every  word  of  their  language  now  be- 
come vernacular  to  the  Persians,  they, 
would  be  in  the  same   predicament  aa 
the  Gael — but  the   converse  will   not 
hold  in  either  case.       Although    the 
Persian  could    ciist    without   Arabic 
words,   yet  the  Arabic  language  cnuld  I 
not  well  dispense  with  thewords  which 
the   I'er^tan   has   borrowed.       In   like 
manner   let  H.  G.   carefully  examine 
whether  the  Welch  might  not  do  with- 
out the  words  common  to  it  and  tho 
Gaelic.       That  it  would  be  impover-^ 
ibhed    without    them,    I   allow  ;    but  | 
the    question    is   whether    there     isj 
not  the  germ  of  a  separate  laoguaga  ] 
without    any     of    the     words,     now ' 
used  in  (isetic  f     1  myself  cannot  cer- 
tainly allow  that  more  than  a  quarter 
of  the  Wt.*lch  vocables  can,  by  any 
etymological  torture,  he  made  to  agree 
with  the  Gaclic^urely  then  the  other  j 
tlirce- fourths  ore  enough  to  constitute  ' 
an  independent  language.  Tht:  Kngli^h  ' 
if  a  Saxon  dialect,  and  yet  mnr'^  than  i 
half  its  words  ere  not  Saion,     Tnko 
away,  for  instance,  from  the  French 
all  the  words  of  their  language  used  [ 
in  English,  and  I  am  afraid  our  talka- 
tive neighbours  would  be  very  much 
at   a  loss  in  the  inrtulgencc  of  their 
favourite  pmpensity.

Welch  find  Gaelic. —  Tensi$  in  Hebrew. 


[Aug. 


ing  in  u  many  verses  of  the  Armoric 
New  Test  am  cot,  while  in  tlie  same  five 
verses  the  Welsh  version  had  words 
totally  different.  This  xa  really  antJ 
truly  a/ur/,  and  to  this  only  1  con> 
fined  myself;  I  did  not  even  say  that 
the  Welsh  might  not  have  had  the 
words;  yet  this  Gomf.r^  with  a  raost 
unpor&lleled  "cacocthcs  scribendi," 
writes  two  pagea  about  these  five 
words,  proving,  with  most  praise* 
worthy  indutflry.  wliat  I  never  denied  ; 
nod  comes  to  what  be  thinks  a  most 
triumphant  conclusion  that  such  are 
my  "cffortB  to  create  facts."  I  hope 
Gomcr'h  p^ir/jfhere  have  succeeded  in 
creutiog  effect ;  for  I  nhould  be  de- 
lighted to  find  the  old  saying  "  ex 
oihtlo  nihil  lit "  for  once  proved  un- 
sound. 

GoMEu  rcfates  himself  most  neotly 
respecting  the  abhorrence  of  Welsh  od- 
jcctivvsto  foreign  substantives.  But  I 
suppose  this  aversion  holds  only  with 
regard  to  English  nouns,  though  1  could 
point  out  ftuudry  suspicious  words  even 
of  the  Inst  class  which  seem  to  me  to 
be  quite  at  homr  in  th«  Welsh.  In  the 
first  few  chapters  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment I  meet  with  such  words  as 
*f^gy(,  'nnt,  prQjihir^d,  arck-offeirruid, 
trynjr,  Btc.  which  strangely  remind 
me  of  wotds  which  I  have  met  with 
inGreek,  Latin,  or  English,  with  some- 
what the  same  meaning;  but  as  the 
Welah  adjectives  very  condescendioaly 
unite  whi^^n  called  on  with  the  abovo 
words,  1  muitt  conclude  tliat  they  are 
pureWrUh.  Gomlb  has  in  his  last  letter 
given  another  batch  of  words  which 
agree  in  Gaelic  and  Welsh.  Good — 
let  him  go  on — it  ia  a  most  unerring; 
ar^nmrnt  as  long  as  it  In^ift.  and  it 
will  be  tome  time  ere  he  exhaust  the 
three  or  four  thousand  words  which  I 
believe  to  be  common  to  both  lan- 
gtuLges.  But  then  1  fear  there  will  he 
an  awkward  day  of  reckoning  at 
lost  when  GoMcn  is  reasonably  called 
on  to  account  lor  some  twenty  or 
twfnty-five  thousand  Wclah  words 
which  are  nc^/ Gaelic.  Well,  well,  the 
day  of  payment  is  very  distnnt,  and 
"fluincicnt  for  the  present  day  ia  the

tipiiUon, 


I  have  yet  one'  grave  observation 
make  on  Gomek's  letter,  "  more  in 
sorrow  than  in  anger,"  I  assure  him. 
I  mentioned  in  my  la«.t  letter  in  reply 
to  GouER  that  the  Irish  Gaelic  had  a 
regular  present  tense,  and  that  the 
Scotch  Garlic  very  frequently  made 
use  of  it,  particularly  in  the  "olema 
style.  For  the  truth  of  this  I  refet; 
him  to  the  verses  of  the  25th  Psalm 
above  quoted,  where  the  verbs  iogam 
and  cuireom  arc  rcalty^and  truly  in 
that  very  prFsmt  tfiuc,  whose  cxi«tence 
GoMBB  denies.  I  further  stated  that 
the  Hebrew  had  two  tenses,  the  past 
and  present,  or  rather  the  preterite  aad: 
imprefmle  (if  I  may  use  such  a'tcrm), 
for  the  truth  of  this  I  made  the  fol- 
lowing reference  :  "  [f  GouBRcTttread 
the  Hebrew  Bible,  he  may  soon  «iotisfy 
himself  as  to  thufart;  if  not  let  hiia 
consult  our  best  Hebrew  grammars  in 
the  PInglish  language,  that  of  Professor 
Lee,  or  the  English  tran><latioa 
Professor  Ewald."  Professor  Uta 
says  in  his  Grammar.  (I B27)  |>.  190, 
"Again,  in  this,  as  in  every  olhei 
species  of  Hebrew  verbs,  two  tensea 
only  are  found,  the  yaat  and  the 
prejea/."  In  Professor  Kwald's  Gram- 
mar (183G),  page  13.^,  that  eminent 
Kastern  scholar,  certainly  one  of  the 
iirsl  in  Germany,  says  "the  names 
priftfrile  and/u/ure  are  inappropriate  f 
it  appears  mo&t  correct  to  call  thei 
pn-fpet  and  imper/fct." 

The  tense,  which  in  Hebrew  gram 
marians   have   frequently    called 
future,  has  not  that  sense  in  the  com' 
mon  acceptation  of  the  word ;  it  i 
merely  a  grammntiral    term   u#ed   i 
eontradistioctioD  to  the  pait ;  and  i 
Arabic  the  fcamc  tense  is   more  ajipro-l 
priately  called  the   acrJat.     It  9erv< 
for  the  present  oflener  than  for  the* 
future,    ond    thertfore     the    sonndesi 
pammarians  ihat  we  have  do  not  ca 
It  future.     I  con   cosily    pftrdun  Go 
Mett'9  iguorance  iu  being  misled  by  ih 
nurre  ;  but,   unfortunately  for  him.  I

purpose,  it  wouU  W  a  mere  wantp  of 
time  to  notice  it — ft  sample  of  the 
Trhole  IB  enough. 

I  must  obserrc,  however,  crc  I  con* 
elude*  that  both  Gomkh  and  Cymho 
seem  very  sore  oo  one  point,  on  which 
by  the  way,  I  never,  to  my  recollec- 
tion, uttered  a  BvllaWe,  viz.  that  the 
Gaelic  IB  A  purer  Iruiguagu  than  the 
Welsh.  This  in  notliing  to  the  point, 
at  present,  though  I  could  casUy  take 
up  the  cudgcia  with  any  honest  oppo- 
nent on  that  ground.  The  grand 
nue&tion  is,  whether  the  Welsh  and 
Gaelic  be  the  eame  latti^uage,  which 
will  be  decided  all  the  better  by  dia- 
cu««ing  one  thing  at  a  lime. 

I  would  crave  leave  to  aay  a  few 
words  in  parting  with  Messrs.  Gohek 
and  CvMRo,  whether  they  be  "  two 
simple  Kcntlcmen  in  one/'  or  one  in 
two.  I  have  for  once  taken  the 
trouble  to  expose  Iheir  fery  eccentric 
mode  of  conducting  themselves  in  this 
discussion. 

i  hope  the  gentlemen  feel  relieved 
after  this  effusion  of  their  spleen 
against  the  Gaelic  language.  I  have 
observed  among  our  A<tiatic  subjccti, 
that  in  all  disputes  the  party  that  had 
the  worst  of  the  argument,  invariably 
poured  forth  a  torrent  of  abuse  against 
the  relalionn  and  predecessors,  male 
and  female,  ofthe  opposite  party, with- 
tiut  being  very  scrupulous  about  the 
truth  of  U\e  matter.  This,  I  nuppose, 
is  what  the  philosophic  Sam  Slick 
would  call  "  human  natur."  They 
roust  feel  sensible,  I  should  suppose, 
that  honesty  in  argument,  as  well  as 
in  all  aflfairs  of  life,  is  the  Iwst  policy. 
In  our  countr>'  it  is  the  custom  with 
the  correspondents  of  periodicals  to 
write  under  feigned  names  ;  still,  I 
have  always  uodcriitood  that  none  but 
the  vilc«t  of  scribblers  availed  them- 
mIvcs  of  this  disguise  to  publish  mis- 
representations. For  my  own  part, 
it  has  been  "  my  humour."  as  the 
saying  i?,  hitherto  to  fallow  the  faafaion; 
but  I  appeal  to  your  rcadt?rs.  and  in 
Itarticular  to  wy  opponent!*,  whether 
in  any  instance  1  have  abused  ihi<t  pri- 
vilege? A  gcTitli-ninn  niny  cnjov  the

Till  very  lately  it  was  my  good  for- 
tune to  have  met  with  fair  and  honour- 
able opponents ;  and  I  take  it  ai  no 
small  compliment  tliat  Sir  William 
Betham,  Mr.  J.  I-ooAN.  and  Mr.  R, 
G.  should  have  replied  to  my  letter* 
with  their  real  signatures,  whilst  I 
cootinaed  to  write  nnonymously.  I 
have  now  to  thank  thtjat  geotlcroen  for 
their  uniform  candour  and  courtesy 
towards  me,  how  much  soever  we  may 
differ  in  opinion.  1  do  so  under  my 
real  name,  because  Messrs.  GoHan 
and  CvHRo  have  thoroughly  cured  me 
of  the  anonymous ;  and  should  the  lat  - 
ter  "  par  nobilc  frntrum"  deirn  to 
lake  any  further  notice  of  me.  1  trust 
it  will  be  on  my  own  ground.  As  a 
necessary  prelude,  however,  to  all  fu- 
ture communication  between  us.  might 
1  request  of  these  gentlemen  to  answer 
me  the  following  nimple  (|ue<(tions,  if 
it  is  not  troubling  them  too  muck. 
iBt.  How  cameGoMsa  to  express  him- 
self,  as  follows,  in  his  last  letter  to 
you?  "  KtOB  Ghakl  han  discovered 
a  present  tense  in  the  Hebrew,  a  fact 
unknown  from  the  creation  of  the 
world  to  the  present  lime."  2d!v. 
How  docs  Cymro  account  for  the  fol- 
lowing sentence  id  his  tetter?  "  But 
what  authority  does  Fion  Gmakl  ad- 
duce? Ducbanan  ;  and  that  too  o«fe 
respecting  the  name  of  Argyle."  Both 
assertions,  as  1  have  already  shown, 
arc  so  gross  and  clumsy  that  I  am  to- 
tally at  a  \oM  to  account  for  their  ex- 
istence. Perhaps  the  authors  will 
deign  to  enlighten  your  readers  and 
ray»elf  on  the  occurrence  of  snch  a 
rare  sjtecimen  of  argument. 

For  mv  own  part,  Mr.  Urban,  in 
laying  aside  the  title  of  Fion  GiiAat, 
I  am  not  conscious  of  having  ever 
written  to  you  a  single  sciitnire  tiiidrr 
that  opprllation,  which  I  need  be 
ashamed  to  own.  as,  yours  faithfully,

vaa  annouuced  to  Ihc  subscribers  and 
to  the  public.  On  the  29lh  April 
Messrs.  Longman  and  Co.  and  Mr. 
Murray  announced,  conjointly,  a  Nob 
Biographical  tmd  liutoriral  Diclion- 
\mry  :  and  on  the  30tb  April  the  pru- 
prieturs  of  the  Kncyclopadia  Mftropo- 
Ulana  announced,  and  forthwith  issued 
the  prospectus  of,  a  Netc  General  Bio~ 
ifraphieal  DiclioiMTy  in  about  twelve 
closely  printed  volumes  octavo.  The 
specimen  which  now  solicits  notice, 
may  therefore  be  considered  as  a  por- 
tion of  the  aupplement  to  the  JCncyclo- 
ptrdia — but  under  a  new  title,  and  in 
another  form. 

This  is  sharp  competition  ;  but 
competition  should  not  be  unadvisedly 
condemned — nor  should  wc  cotDptaio 
of  rapidity  of  execution,  if  unaccom- 
panied by  marks  of  precipitancy.  I 
proceed  to  examine  the  .Hpecitnea  with 
due  attention  to  those  maxims. 

An.  1.  Why  is  Peter  Vander  A*, 
the  jurisconsult  of  Luuvain,  to  be  im- 
mortalized ?  Un  account  of  his  name 
— and  because  M.  Guizot  was  com- 
plimented with  the  honor  of  contribu- 
ting the  first  article  to  the  Biographic 
(■u\ver*nlltr.  Art.  2.  Why  is  l*tler 
Vawlcr  Aa,  of  Leyden,  styled  a  btiok- 
»i>U^,tdiior,  and  geogrnpber  i  Because 
the  writer  cuuld  nut  transhitc  the 
words  lU/raire'itiitcar.    And  why  does 


he  omit  the  judicious  and  very  inte- 
resting publication  of  Vander  Aa,  the 
f'oyagfg  faita  prinnpalement  en  Aaie 
data  te  xii,  xiii,  liv,  ct  xv  nhrlrtT 
Because  he  followed  the  anonymous 
writer  in  the  Biographie  i'uivertelU-~- 
and  omi/tpd  to  consult  the  Examcn 
Critique  of  M.  Barbier.  Art.  3.  Is  the 
account  of  C.  C.  H.  Vander  Aa  bio- 
graphy i  'Hte  most  remarkable  cir- 
cumstance of  his  life — the  celebration 
of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  his  pas- 
torship at  liacrtcm — an  event  which  a 
medal  will  transmit  to  the  latest  pos- 
terity— is  not  recorded  I  Art.  4.  Why 
have  we  no  dittet  to  the  account  of 
Nicolas  Aaoabd?  M.  Molte-Brun 
intimates  that  Christian  Aogard  was 
born  in  l5gG — and  M.  Wujss  states 
that  Nicholas, /r^e  iiin^tle  Chriitioih 
was  born  in  16)2  !  The  new  biogra- 
pher coutd  not  untie  the  knot :  he  took 
the  liberty  of  cutting  it. 

But  if  I  were  to  proceed  in  this 
catechetical  uiunner,  my  letter  would 
resemble  the  soliloquy  of  llumlet.  I 
must  have  recourse  to  generalization. 

1  object  very  decidedly  to  nnonymoiij 
bioj/raphy,  to  which  class  the  work  in 
question  belongs.  The  writer  who 
has  exercised  due  research,  and  who 
states  his  opinions  conscientiously, 
can  have  nn  reason  to  conceal  his 
name.  In  fact,  with  respect  to  states- 
men and  divines — perhaps  I  might 
extend  the  remark  to  all  classes — the 
name  of  the  writer  ts  the  best  iUmtra- 
tioH  of  tile  facts  and  opinions  con- 
tained in  the  narrative. 

The  very  frequent  omission  of  the 
authorities  I  must  also  consider  as  not 
less  objectionable  ;  in  that  particular, 
Watkins  and  Chalmers  have  set  exam- 
ples which  ought  to  have  been  uni- 
formly adhered  to  on  the  present 
occasion. 

We  ore  promised  a  dictionary 
"  comprehensive  in  its  range  of  iHime«  ' 
•^but  names  and  dates  do  not  form 
biography,  though  essential  parts  of  it. 
The  utility  of  such  articles  as  the  fol- 
lowing is  not  very  obvious  : 

"  AnASCA  DB  Boi.KA  (L.),  MoTquis do 
luA  Torres,  a  noble  of  Arragon.  Is  the 
SQthor  of  Palfsstra  AoBtriaca."

[Aog. 


To  increue  the  muster-roll,  fictitious 
b^iamca  are  iotioduced^  as  Abdia.!. 
I  Adul  Cassim,  &c. — Oa  this  priociple, 
-we  must  have  articles  for  Malcolm 
Mac  Gregor,  and  Loocclot  Temple, 
£dquire. 

The  form  of  tho  articlra  is  vicioas. 
"  The  biographer/'  says  an  emioent 
critic,  "sfioukl  alwayit  study  to  givt; 
Itia  work  the  appearance  uf  conti* 
noity."  This  judicious  maxim  applies 
even  to  the  shortest  articles.  Now» 
behold  the  fuFTQ  adopted  in  thU  X)ic- 
tiotian/:  "Adam.  (Alex.  LL.D.  1741- 
1809).  a  Bciiuolmustcr  t*f  Edinhurg^," 
&c.  The  date  and  place  uf  imlivity 
are  BCDarated — the  date  of  his  acade- 
mical nuQor  is  omitted — and  the  date 
of  his  dccca&e  is  separated  from  the 
circumstftQCea  of  it.  Instead  of  aljfe 
— we  have  a  name,  dnteij,  and  dis- 
jointed notes.  We  miss  that  neatness 
of  composition  which  is  so  conspi- 
cuous in  the  Bhyrn^ihicnl  Dictionary 
of  Watkius — and  which  is  only  attain- 
able al  tlie  eipeiuc  uf  time  and  consi- 
derntion. 

BihliuyriipUy  tnusi  always  occupy 
Tcry  considerable  space  in  a  Gctural 
Biographical  Oitr/iuHory— for  the  "chief 
jjlory  of  every  people  arlies  from  its 
authois."  It  »lmuld  be  treated  ays* 
tcmatically.  A  plan  should  be  dc- 
via^,  and  the  contributors  should  be 
enjotned  to  folbw  it.  I'hc  cla»^icat 
articles  of  the  new  work,  and  the 
articles  Abelard,  Abp.  Abbol*  Abul 
Fcda.  Addison,  &c.  are,  in  thU  re- 
spect, carefully  executed — but  there  is 
a  want  of  system.  Vn^ue  >-^.iUties 
are  too  often  substi.utcd  for  tangible 
iacts.  Ejc.  gr.,  it  is  said  of  Ur.  Adam, 
•'  His  works  on  Ancient  Geography 
and  OQ  Roman  Autirjuities,  and  his 
Other  works,  are  loo  well  knoicn  to 
re^uirt  anjf  df*rription."  In  the  uc-

very  eminent  names — another  for 
third-rate  names— would  tend  to  pre- 
serve proportion.  In  the  present  ape- 
cimcn,  which  coataina  above  SOO 
names,  the  accounts  of  Abp.  Abbot 
and  Abelard  occupy  nearly  ao  righth 
of  the  whole!  There  can  be  do  ea< 
cuse  for  this  manifest  dispro portion— 
for  the  life  of  Abp.  Abbot  has  been 
very  elaborately  written  by  Oldya, 
and  that  of  Abelard  has  been  written 
twenty  times. 

The  unoHgement  of  the  articles  is 
the  most  astounding  part  of  the  work. 
It  is  a  mixture  of  the  alphabetical, 
tho  rJironulogical,  the  classified,  and 
tile  u»U^«ahl«,  The  general  order  is 
alphabetical ;  but  Uiere  are  numerous 
grohyt  of  persons  bearing  the  same 
name — sometimes  in  chronological 
order — sometimes  in  no  definable 
order.  Each  group  has  a  short  rtte- 
tortcal  proem.     I  fn^  -  mens  : 

"AcHMBT.    The  in  world

"  AcofeXA.  Puttusal  njaieti  in  leveral

The  Mnbommcdan  group  consists  of 
nine  persons,  in  no  dctmable  orilcr. 
The  Portuguese  group  coii^iata  ot  five 
perion»— in  chronotugical  order.  One 
of  these  persons  was  a  native  of 
Africa— another  of  Spain — ftooiherof 
India !  Further  fpccinicna  of  the 
proems  in  question,  and  of  the  group* 
which  iHirtain  to  them,  may  be  neces- 
sary to  convey  a  just  notion  of  this 
part  of  tlie  arrangement.

His  Treatise  on  Astronomical  Inatrn- 
nients,  translated  by  1. 1.  Scdillot,  wat; 
edited  by  L.  Am.  Sedillot,  Paris, 
1834-5.  4L0.  2  vols.  These  marks  of 
precipitatti  compilation  occur  in  the 
same  column  !  Sometimes,  in  these 
articles,  the  era  of  Christ  is  adopted  ; 
sometimes  the  era  of  the  Hcjira  ;  and 
sometimes  both  dates  arc  given.  On 
the  latter  occasions,  more  than  one 
mistake  is  committed.  We  read, 
p.  34,  "  This  was  in  Uir  year  of  Christ 
fiGO,  only  sixty -twoy  ears  after  the  Ileji- 
ra."Itshouldbe  i/«/y/or/yyeorf,'&c.  Wc

It  should  be,  A.H.  8S9  or  A.  D.  1484. 
Some  of  the  most  celebrated  profi- 
cients in  oriental  literature  are  min- 
uamcd :  c.  gr.  Galland  'm  called  Gal- 
lufd,  and  t^rpcnius  is  called  Etperitu ! 

Wc  ore  oisaurcd  that  the  SpanuA 
and  Par/ugueae  articles  have  been 
placed  in  the  hands  of  one  who  "  for 
many  years  hu  cultivalad  Spanish 
literature  with  the  most  d\slinguisheU 
9UCCCBB."  He  cites  Bryan,  a  second- 
rate  authority,  for  tlie  article  Maria 
de  Abarca— "  a  female  ar/iX  of 
Spain."  Now  Uerniudez  would  have 
informed  hiia.  more  circumtilantially. 
that  Donna  Maria  dc  Abarca  was  a 
clever  ama/rur  painltr  of  portraits 
who  flouribhed  at  Madrid  about  the

that  it  waa  undertaken  by  royal  com* 
maud,  [dc  orden  superior]  and  pub- 
lished at  Madrid,  1740-51.  folio,  12 
volomes.  His  son  Don  Felix  Abreu, 
who  published  a  learned  Tratado  9t>br* 
Presaa  dt^  Mar  in  his  25th  year,  and 
was  successively  Secretary  of  Lega- 
tton*  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary  to 
the  British  Court,  should  aUo  have 
been  commemorated.  He  died  some 
years  before  his  father,  viz.  in  1700. 

The  Btyle  of  a  work  of  this  class  is 
not  beneath  consideration.  What- 
ever is  designed  to  be  attentively  read, 
should  be  attentively  composed.  Tlie 
part  befon  u%,  ia  addition  to  its  other 
demerits,  has  too  frequently  tho»c  ot 
bald  uod  awkward  pliraseulogy.  if  not 
of  flippancy.  A  few  extracts  may  aerve 
as  a  hint  on  this  point,  both  to  theedi< 
torandtothecontributors;  and  may  save 
the  necessityof  more  formal  censure. 

We  read.  Art,  Abad  HI,  thai  "  Ma.

It  is  clear  ttiat  the  advocates  of  this 
sy&tem,  being  all  of  them  men  believ- 
ing like  himself  in  revealed  religion, 
would  be  at  issue  with  him  as  well  aa 
00    his   other  objection,  "  that  their 
reasoniDgs  are  in  oppoiiition  lo  God'a 
revt'pled  word."      None  of  them  be- 
lieve ill  tlie  eternity  of  the  earth  more 
than    our   author  does,  and  none  of 
them  would  fiumc  au  hypothesis  in 
opposition    to  tho  text  of   Scripture. 
Ou    the   first   point   the  question   ii, 
"  Are  we  to  believe  that  the  earth,  from 
the   indicative  researches  of  science, 
has  been  created   for   lome  ihoti§and 
or  some  mUlitina  of  years  i"  for  here 
the    first    point  of  the  dispute   lies. 
Secondly,  "  Is  llic  hypothesis  that  it 
has  been  created  for  the  longer  period 
contrary  to  the  aolhority  of    Scrip- 
ture ?"  for,  if  it  is,  then  mast  scientific 
research  at  once  doubt  the  correctness^ 
and  rclinquiBh  all  trust  in  the  reeult 
of  its  concluBion*.      With  regard   to 
the  former  it  mu»t  be  confessed  that 
the  Rcience  of  geology  is  too  imperfect, 
and  its  field  nf  rxperimentat  inquiry  at 
jirescut  far  too  limited,  to  permit  any 
deciftive  opinion  being  formed,  thoagh 
the  arguments  to  our  mind  arc  very 
strong  and  feasible  that  would  enlarge 
the  Iwundaries  of  time  for  the  creation 
of  inanimate  matter,  as  also  of  pert  of 
animal  life,  beyond  the  period  affixed 
to  the  creation  of  man.     Here  certain- 
ly the  peologiHts  of  the  highest  fame 
fur  scientific  acquirements,  wv  believe, 
ate  all  in  accord   00   the   main   fxiint^ 
though  dilTcring  much  in  detail  as  1 
the  second.     Theologiaiia  of  high  ce*

162     Revibw. — Schism,  as  tppf*$ed  to  the  Unitjf  of  the  Church.      [Aug. 

deluge  was  not  a  mere  aqueoua  de- 
posit, but  a  mighty  convulsion,  calcu- 
lated not  only  to  shake  and  dislocate 
tlie  whole  materinU  of  the  globe,  but 
to  destroy  ewry  living  lliirig  on  its 
surface. — Anil  yet  we  must  observe, 
that  a  very  fragile  tree,  tht  grtfn  oUve 
trtf.  lunrived  both  the  power  of  the 
volcanic  craters,  and  the  cataracts. 
Seeing,  then,  that  on  hu  side  of  the 
question  hypotheses  are  found  un- 
warranted by  scripture,  our  author 
surely  should  be  cautious  in  calling 
the  strictly  inductive  reasonings  of 
Buckland  and  Sedgwick —  "ephr- 
nicral  and  half-digv^ted  theories,  and 
hubbtc-blowo  hypotheses."— (p.  37.) 
Now  the  object  of  the  philosophical 
geologist  is  not,  as  our  author  seems 
to  suppose,  to  (liicovcr  hov  the  world 
was  made  (though  the  wbit^iu*  theory 
has  bc«n  advanced  by  some) ;  but 
whether  the  discoverieit  in  nateolngy. 
— the  fossil  marine  and  fresh-water 
deposits, — the  mineral  formations,  &c. 
would  lead  us  to  believe  that  a  longer 
period  had  ever  elapsed  thon  that 
assigned  to  the  creation  of  man,  to 
account  for  the  changes  thcv  have 
undergone  ;  also,  that  great  cnaoges 
on  the  surface  of  the  earth,  similar  to 
Ihoeo  produced  by  the  Noachic  deluge, 
at  certain  iater\'als,  have  occurred. 
Wc  must  also  obnerve  of  our  author'* 
two  great  authorities  on  this  subject, 
that  Dr.  Sumner  wrote  his  very  sen- 
sible ond  elegant  work,  before  the 
great  discoveries  in  geological  science 
were  made,  and  that  Mr.  Penn  is  not 
himselfa  practical  nr  Bcienlific  geolo- 
gist, but  reasons  on  facts  asserted  by 
other  persons.  Wc  think,  on  the 
whole,  that  our  author  has  attributed 
reosoninn  and  hypotheses  to  the  geo- 
logists tnat  tbcT  have  never   made ; 


and  asserted   factii  which  they  would 
oot  acknowledge — and  there  the  con- 
troversy stands  between  them.     With

who,  from  various  auociatioas,  may

subject,  when  h«  learos,  M  he  will  do 
from  Mr.  Dauney's  very  elaborate 
and  intereiting  Jissertatioa  upon  the 
lubject,  how  necc»«ary  a  branch  of 
ordinary  education  mutiie  was  for- 
merly consiilcrcd  in  Scotland  ;  whore 
both  secular  and  aacrcd  mutic  were 
publicly  taught  at  the  different  music 
scfaoolft  then  existing  in  all  the  prin- 
cipal towns  throughout  the  country, 
OB  regularly  as  they  are  at  the  present 
day  in  music-loving  Germany  {  and 
tfaii),  too,  OB  Mr.  Oauney  shows,  nut 
only  during  the  sway  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  Church,  but  for  many  years 
aAcr  th«  Reformation.  But  let  ua 
K»>p  Mr.  Dauney  bimaelf  upon  thii 
point. 

"  While  la  England  the  change  of 
religian  did  not  produce  any  great  imme- 
diate altcratioD  on  the  maeic  of  the 
cborcb,  in  this  country  ( Scotlnnd) 
there  can  be  no  rloolit  th<i  the  umihiU- 
tian  nff  the  grent  choral  estKhlifhrncoti, 
the  exclosion  of  organs  and  ntlit- r  ioitru- 
menta  from  the  Benrlct.  and  the  aereno 
■tnplklty  of  the  ntyle  of  l*admody  in- 
trodiwMd  hj  the  rigid  ducipieii  of  Calvin 
aad  Knox,  bad  n  coasiderable  effurt  la 
chafing  the  progreu  of  the  art.  Tbi«, 
Jamea,  or  rather  liU  advijerf,  law  with 
ngTvt.  and  they  not  improbably  thought. 
that  there  waa  some  danger  leet  the  asme 
ce  and  intolerant  ijiirit,  wliich  In  de- 
tying  (be  imagea  and  idols  of  Popery, 

[,  along  with  them,  iwept  away  many 

of  the  richest  and  most  cwtly  momirocuta 
af  art,  would  shortly  carry  ita  indiBori- 
minate  seal  m  fnr,  as  to  attack  the  whole 
tyttem  of  mnaical  instractiou,  as  one  of 
the  remainiog  symboU  of  Antictirlst. 
Hence  tlu>  following  statute,  paned  on 
the  11th  November,  157!>t 

"  For  iiutniction  of  the  youth  in  the 
art  of  maxick  and  ringing,  iiohilk  Is  al- 
maift  decayic,  and  mII  thortly  decay,

tlieir  fuodalionhi,  imd  in  perfomnng  of 
hia  faienes  reqaest  do  unto  his  Mijestie 
aoeeptable  and  gnde  plesorc." 

This  Act  must  have  bod  the  effect. 


that  t 


not  only  of  keeping  up  such  Music 
Schools  aa  had  been  prcviuusty  esta- 
blished, but  of  causing  the  erection  of  I 
others.  We  have  documents  hefora 
us.  showtDg,  Uiat  in  Aberdeen,  Ayr, 
Cupar>  Dunbar,  Dundee,  £lgin.  Ir- 
vine, Lanark,  St.  Andrew's,  &c.  for 
many  years  after,  and  in  some  in- 
stances before  the  Act  1579.  besides 
the  teacher  of  the  Grammar  Schoul, 
an  individual  held  the  appointment 
of  "  Master  of  the  Music  or  Song 
School." 

Tliua   far  had  we  proceeded  soma 
nioulha  since  in  our  analytical  notica 
of  thiA  highly  curious  and  interesting 
work,  when  wc  were  interrupted  by 
Dthvr  and  leas  agreeable  duties.     la 
the  meanwhile.   Mr.  Dauney's  work, 
has  met  with  a  fate  rarely  equalled  hy  ' 
volumes  of  so  learned  andantiquoriaa  ' 
0  character,  and  has  been  noticed  and 
properly  appreciated  by  nearly  all  our  ■ 
critical    brethren.     Wc   therefore,    at  | 
this  tatc  hour,  abstain  from  continuing  j 
our    anatysis ;    but  we   cannot   ptrtj 
from  tlie  work,   without  assuring  our 
antiquarian  as  well  aa  musical  friends, 
how  large  a  stock  of  ai^recabte  infor- 
mation, ajs  i^ell  as  delightful  melody^ 
ia  bound  up  in  its  |>agrs  ;  nor  without 
assuring  Mr.  Dauney,  that  the  plea- 
sure which  we  have  derived  from  its 
perusal,  nnd  the  interest  which  it  has 
excited  in  us,  will  tempt  us  some  day 
or  utlier  to  submit  to  him  and  all  the 
worthy  patrons   of  Sylvanus  Urban, 
some  selections  from  the  writings  of 
the  Musical  Critics  of  Germany,  itiui-!

one  of  the  most  important  and  volaa-

history,  which  it  hoa  ever  been  our

the  satiafaclioo  and  pleasure  with

When  this  valuable  relic  of  Scot. 
land's  Minstri^Uy  catue  into  the  pos- 
sesaioa  uf  the  Kaculty,  it  cunaiated  of 
seven  detached  portions  or  ffutncnii : 
which,  OS  they  obviously  beluuged  to 
the  oame  act,  were,  by  order  of  the 
Curators,  bound  up  together,  feo  oa  to 
form  one  volume.  It  is  without  dote ; 
nor  h  there  any  ground  for  judging, 
within  twenty  or  thirty  years,  as  to 
the  precise  time  when  it  was  written. 
From  the  appearance  of  the  papLT.  the 
handwriting,  and  the  fact  that  some 
of  the  tunes  are  occasionally  repeated, 
with  some  iilighl  alterations  io  tho 
music.  Mr.  Duueicy  considcra  it  ejt- 
tiemely  probable  that  tlicy  had  been 
taken  at  different  limes,  during  a 
period  of  about  that  duration  ;  and 
add»,  further,  (hat  one  port  of  the 
manuscript  ap^>earB  to  hare  beCD ' 
written  between  thi>  years  1615  anil 
16'iO  ;  io  that,  while  none  of  it  is 
likely  to  have  been  much  more  recent 
than  the  loat-mentfooed  era,  some  of 
tho  collecLioD  may  have  been  formed 
as  early  aa  the  commencement  of  the 
•cventcenth  century.

of  [Mrsp^cuily,  is,  in  some  ilrgree> 
(twint;  t'»  iKe  nnturu  of  the  work  ;  it  in 
corlninl^  very  diificuU  to  condense 
ami  nbriilgu,  and  yet  prcu;rvc  clear- 
ncus  ;  and  tbc  cpitomixer,  if  he  is  not 
cxccctliiigly  careful,  will  often  have  to 
say 

" Brwis  etse  Uboro, 

Oliscurua  firt." 
At  J).  t>4,  Dr.  Taylor  sayi  that  the 
Kalijthato,  "  of^cr  being  long  an  empty 
till<>,  wns  finally  abolishcil  A.  D. 
l2riS."  One  might  supjKJse,  from 
re&iling  Ihia  senlctice.  that  the  Kali- 
|ibate  was  ohoUaht-d  at  Bngdail,  as  the 
Statliolclenite  was  in  Holland,  by  a 
national  decision  ;  wficreas  it  expired 
ill  the  person  of  tbe  last  Kalipb,  who 
wqa  put  to  death  by  the  Mogul  Tar- 
tars. 

P.  60.  At  tlic  death  of  Charle- 
nagnc  "the  Snrnrenic empire  in  Spain 
was  distracted  by  civil  comniotiuns." 
This  Ungiiaifc  is  not  strictly  npplica. 
hie  till  a  period  two  centuries  later. 

P.  55.  "The  Popes,  as  the  Bishops 
of  Aomc  were  called  from  an  unknown 
period."  This  wording  would  imply 
that  the  bishops  of  Rome  ahnr  were 
called  Popes,  whereas  that  appellation 
was  anciently  given  to  all  Christian 
prelates.  (Robinson'sTheological  Dic- 
tionary, Art.  lloman  CathoUra.) 

V.  69.  It  is  a  slovenly  practice  to 
give  quotations  without  a  reference, 
when  the  source  can  be  ascertained. 
A  very  good  passage  on  tbe  Byzantine 
t-mpirc,  {]uotcd  at  this  place,  is  taken 
from  the  Foreign  Quarterly  Review, 
No.  xi\.  p.  loa,  art.  tftf  Hyzttntine 
tJutofiitujt.  It  \a  flckttowledgi.-d  by 
inverted  commas,  butarcferenecshould 
Imvc  been  given,  if  tlie  author  was  able 
to  tlo  sn. 

P-  71.  "The  retnlution  [in  (he 
Kaliphatc]  \vn.s  completed  in  the 
rei^  of  Al  /fbadi  (A.l>.  y3C.)"  Thia 
name  j?  prupeily  /{Imdi  or  J^adhi.

P.  60.  The    emperors    *'foriu«|ly

preilecessora  had  exercised  over  tlie 
city  of  Rome  and  the  ecclesiastical 
states. "     This  should  bei'enounccd. 

P.  86.  The  author  ^ves  as  the/our/A

tbe  historian  of  tho»e  events,  enume- 
rates as  thojf^A. 

P.  98.  "These  sectarians  calleil 
Vaudois  or  Albigonscs."  The  terms 
are  not  synonymous. 

P.  119.  Gonzago  for  Gonzagv. 
P.  124.  "Three  brave  men  resolved 
to  attempt  tbe  delivernnce  of  their 
country."  This  is  the  celebrated  re- 
volt of  the  Swiss  against  the  Aostrians. 
But  why  not  give  thrirnamea  ?*  Suppose 
that  an  author  in  writing  a  History  of 
Greece,  when  he  came  to  tbe  time  of 
Thraaybulua,  were  t«  say,  •'  A  brave 
man  resolved  to  attempt  tlie  dt^liver- 
ance  of  his  country,  '  and  omit  to 
name  him— how  would  Dr.  Taylor 
characteriie  the  omission } 

P.  M.**.  The  "last  sovereigns  [4>f 
Mexico],  Montezuma  and  Gnatimoxin, 
were  put  to  death  with  cruel  tortures." 
The  latter  certainly  was.  but  not  the 
former.  There  was  nn  intermediate 
sovereign,  Quetlavaca,  who  died  im- 
mediately oHcr  his  accession  ;  but  the 
nature  of  thia  abridgment  hardly  ad* 
mitted  of  naming  him,  for  the  synec- 
dochical  style  is  nece&sarily  employed 
in  works  of  this  description, 

P.  15*.  AgMadcilo.  M.  Sismondi. 
who  is  the  best  authority  in  this  case, 
writM  it  Atgwdcl  (Uolice  Ats»adeUo). 
P.  166.  I'br  fottuwing:  sentence  is 
strangely  involved  by  the  use  of  two 
negatives:  "  Francis  rouldno/ hide  his 
anticipations  of  success,  uo  mure  tliao 
his  tnortification  when  he  failed." 

P.  158.  it  is  quite  a  misnomer  to 
call  llie  mother  of  Francis  I.  /Ae

The  followinK  passage,  at  {•>.  lOO, 
contains  a  good  nnnlysis  of  Irish  his- 
tory, in  the  twelfth  century. 

"  Ireland  wis  at  thla  period  divided 
into  five  pf^'y  sovcrei^ticn.  whose  mo- 
UATL-hs  harassed  escli  othur  by  mutual  wars, 
nnd  could  rnrcty  be  itiducctl  to  coiitbjne 
far  their  contraon  interest.  The  island 
had  heen  frequently  devutnted,  snd  once 
completely  subdued  hy  the  Danes  ;  sercral 
septa  of  these  foreisnera  retained  postcj- 
eion  of  the  chief  commercial  cities,  and 
even  the  king  of  Man  wu  formidable  to 
a  country  iHitmeted  by  intestine  wars. 
When  their  Normin  brethren  conquered 
EogUnd,  the  Dsnes  in  Irelsnd  entered 
into  a  close  oorrcspoodence  with  William 
and  his  successor^  a  circamatancc  which 
probably  first  suggfatcd  t<i  Henry  the  no- 
tion of  coni^uerint;  the  Island." 

We  would  ask,  whether  this  eiprra- 
iiinn  "  Rise  of  the  factions  of  the  Cir- 
cus." is  correctly  placed  under  Anos- 
tasius  1.  in  the  fifth  century  ?  Sueto- 
nius speaks  of  Caligula  (Cal.  c.  55), 
as  being  Pratina  factioni  addicf9$.  It 
was,  however,  in  the  reign  of  Justi- 
nian, and  with  respect  to  the  family 
of  Anastasiufl,  that  they  first  acquired 
their  character  for  ferociousness. 

The  index  is  of  a  new  description, 
being  both  analytical  and  chninoto- 
gical.  The  events  arc  given  in  the 
order  of  time,  with  their  dates  pre- 
fixed, and  a  reference  is  added,  in  the 
same  line,  to  the  page  in  which  they 
are  related.  VVo  observe  one  miaprint, 
which  requires  to  bocorrecteil.  "  1740. 
Extinction  of  the  Stirian  imperial  fa- 
mily," where  the  reference  is  to  p. 
128,  instead  of  p.  126.* 

It  is  highly  desirable  that  thne 
vulumes  should  be  cnrefully  revised  Uy 
the  author  himself,  and  iiult-cd  it  is 
with  this  feeling  that  wc  have  waived 
the  further  search  uf  tnistakes.  In 
such  errors  this  volunur  is  by  no 
means  sinsutar.  In  the  Inst  edition 
of  Mosheim's  Ecclesiastical  History,

MR.  Bdjingf),  an  artist  whose 
works  have  often  coiue  under  public 
notice,  and  whose  talents  as  an  archi-, 
tectural  draughtsman  are  well  knoi 
by  his  engravings  illustrative  of  th 
Temptc  Church.  St.  Stephen's  Ctupe|| 
and  other  nncient  structures,  has  an«_ 
nounced  his  intention  of  completing 
5uch  of  the  English  Cathedrals  which 
are  not  included  in  the  Cathedral  An- 
tiquities of  Mr.  Britton:  a  publication, 
which,  we  are  compelled  with  an- 
feipied  regret  to  add,  is  now  brought 
to  a  termination,  with  the  omission 
of  several  of  these  uobic  relics  uf 
ancient  art  and  ancient  piety,  which 
to  the  antiquary  arc  not  the  least  inter- 
esting of  our  national  temples. 

The  author  has  commenced  with 
Carlisle  Cathedral,  which,  from  the 
remoteness  of  its  ailuation.  in  adil 
tion  to  its  unflniahed  nnd  mutilat  _ 
state,  has  received  but  little  attention 
from  the  hands  of  the  antiquary— still, 
although  it  i»  destined  to  hold  an  in- 
ferior rank  amongHt  our  Cntheilrals. 
to  occupy  a  place  inferior  to  tli 
grand  and  splendid  structures 
Canterbury  or  Lincoln,  and  to  yici 
rn  prnportion  and  bcnuty  to  Wellr 
Lichfield,  or  -Salisbury,  it  poews 
many  fentures  which  are  beautiful  . 
the  eye  of  tlie  antiquary,  nnd  voluab 
to  the  student  of  our  ancient  nrcbit 
tute,  I'hc  choir,  forin^tnucc,  is  arid 
specimen  of  the  architecture  uf 
fourteenth  century,  and  is  pcrUad 
nut  surpassed  by  any  existing  stfii

the  entire  illuAtrations,  which  wc  hop« 
to  see  completed  with  an  eqoal  dcgr» 
of  merit. 

We  need  not  add  how  highly  we 
approve  of  Mr.  Billings'  praiseworthy 
attempt  to  complete  Mr.  Brttton's  ua- 
dertaking.  lie  has  our  good  wishes, 
aud  wc  tratt  he  will  receive  from  the 
hand*  of  the  public  ftuthcicnt  pa- 
trooage  to  enable  htm  to  511  up  the 
entire  Acries,  which  will  then  truly 
deurvi-  the  character  of  a  oatiooal 
work  ;  one  that  la  extent,  as  well  as  to 
the  object  it  embraces,  will  be  a  credit 
to  the  enterprise  of  both  the  gentlemen 
by  whose  rxertioni  the  work  was  pro- 
jected, carried  on,  and  finished.

turs  by  the  iflrui*  at  prettni  u$uoltjf 
tuiajited.  By  Alfred  Bartholomew, 
Archittet. 

THIS  is  in  reality  a  very  clever 
tract :  it  IB  prefaced  by  an  apposite 
motto  from  St.  Paul,*  and  contains 
somf  biting  strictares  on  iht'  practice 
of  mtKlern  profossionalists.  To  tirect 
the  first  part  of  the  author's  object,  the 
rendering  of  boil.linc:*  fire- proof,  he 
suggests  the  tutal  banii^bmvnt  from 
them  of  combustible  subAtnnccs :  "cen- 
turies ogo,"  he  adds,  *' uur  aiiccttors 
having  mode  this  discovery  by  the 
costly  and  immense-  tuss  of  must  of 
their  sacred  fabrics,  rebuilt  them  with 
«carccly  any  wood  iu  their  composi- 
tioa^  except  in  theit  roofii;  and  to  this 
wisdom  of  experience  we  almost  owe 
the  very  existence  of  most  of  our 
churches." 

Wc  shudder  at  the  author's  hint  on 
the  timber  flours  and  roofs  of  tlic 
royal  library,  which,  when  the  value 
of  the  d«po9it  contained  within  it  is 
considercii,  certainly  ought  to  have 
been  fireproof;  but,  alas!  for  Knglish

the  memory  of  the  calamity  is  freah ; 
but  when  its  recollection  grows  fa(nt,J 
wc  go  on  blundering  in  our  old  styL 
until    a    new    calamity     once    mor 
awakens  our  prudence,  lu  sec  it  fall 
again  into  its  usual  lethargy. 

Some   praclicnt    reniedtes    for    thi 
wretched  construction  of  our  mod«rfl

the    lung    train    of   rubbish    now  eo 
fashionable  in  our  modern  structurcs^^ 
are  very  proputy  decried.     The  eviti 
of  com)>etition  arc  forcibly  depictiti 
u  well  as  the  degradation  the    sys-j 
t«m   entails    nn   an    architect,   whichj 
IS   not   the  least   of  the  eviU  of  tlii| 
most  dangerous  and  abbUfd  practice. 

The  author,  at  the  end  of  his  parn- 
phlet,  announces  his  intcntiun  to  pro-] 
duce  a  serius  of  works  on  con«.ttuctiaa 
ami    arcliitL'cturc,  which  will   form 
perfect  cyclopedia  as  far  as  rcguidt^

ticallythc  diiHciiItyofa»«igniQg  correct 
dales  to  English  cxauiplcs,  and  we 
have  litUu  doubt  that  an  equal  difli- 
culty  eii&ts  with  respect  to  foreign 
specimens.  The  mode  of  erecting  the 
ecclcsiostical  buildings  of  those  days 
by  private  eontributiuDs,  and  the  re- 
peated alterations  they  underwent 
whenever  the  funds  of  the  community 
to  which  they  appertained  were  in  a 
flouriftbing  &tatc,  are  quite  sufficient 
rcatooa  for  oaeigning  many  buildings 
and  portions  of  buildings  to  later 
periods  than  the  dates  of  their  ac- 
kuowlc<lgcd  fuundatiuns ;  and  this  ap- 
plicH  with  greater  furce  to  mere  altera- 
tions ;  from  not  being  chronicled  with 
the  care  with  which  the  commcnce- 
mentur  entire  rebuilding  was  recorded, 
their  dates  have  not  reached  ourdayaj 
aud,  ia  truth,  no  evidence,  save  the 
character  ofthe  architecture,  exiats,  to 
lead  to  any  conclusion  as  to  the  dale 
uf  their  couKtruction. 

We  have  been  thus  particular  in 
uur  obscrvatioDs  on  these  plates,  as  we 
find  a  disposition  too  gent:rally  i>te< 
vaiU  to  assign  to  foreign  buildings 
much  earlier  datc&  than  we  think  their 
architecture  warranto.  As  we  view 
these  exainph's,  they  otdy  shew  early 
spcctnicos  of  the  i>ointcd  arch  to  have 
existed  In  Sicily,  but  in  uo  instance  do 
they  warrant  the  idea  that  the  jwinted 
niude  of  architecture,  as  a  style,  had 
iu  origin  in  the  works  uf  tlie  r^urmans 
in  this  island. 

The  wries  uf  views  is  now  brought 
to  a  flusc.  and  it  gives  us  pleasure  to

THIS  volume  of  poema,  the  subjec! 
of  which  chieHy  relate  to  scenes  oi 
histories  in  Italy,  has  much  to  com- 
mend it,  in  itb  spirited  oud  picturesque 
descrijitions,  its  easy  and  graceful 
versification,  and  its  agreablc  subjects. 
Sometimes  the  author  s  style  n^mio^- 
us  of  Rogers,  but  without  any  atudi 
imitation.  Our  tirst  extract  must 
from  the  humorous  poem  of  the  "  Kri 
and  the  Ass."  founded  on  an  old  Italian 
novel ;  which  will  serve  as  a  siKcimcn 
of  tlie  author's  style  and  manner  of 
narration.

MKDAL   or   DR.    LBB,    PAIS.    Or   THE 
NCmSlSATIC   SOCIKTY. 

Mr.  Alfred  Joseph  Stothani,  who  bu 
already  ditiitngxushed  himself  by  the  exe- 
cntjon  of  Ijcautiful  m^daUic  portraits  of 
George  IV.  W'ulter  Scolt,  Byron,  and 
Flaxman,  has  jast  ootnpletod  a  medAl  of 
Dr.  Lee,  President  of  the  Numismatic 
Society.  Mr.  A.  J.  Stothnrd  enjoyed  the 
appoiotiuent  of  rvyal  niedollist  (an  hono- 
rary diabnuliDii)  under  Gcoi^e  IV.  and 
WilUum  IV.  which  we  believe  bu»  been 
continued  to  him  under  her  present  Ma- 
j«ty.  Mr.  Stothard,  in  our  opinion,  is 
»econd  to  none  of  tlu  medallists  of  the 
present  day ;  and,  as  rt^rds  the  funda- 
mental principle  of  excellence  in  the  me- 
dallic  art,  thnt  bold  and  decided  style, 
that  aim  at  geuend  true  eSect  which  dis- 
linguiKhcd  the  warka  of  the  uncieuls,  be 
is  perhaps  the  Arat  of  his  prufcsaion  in 
this  country.  His  works  want  only  to  be 
brought  well  before  the  nablic  to  be  ap- 
preciated and  eooouraged  at  theydesenre. 
The  meflal  of  Dr.  Lee,  now  before  us,  is 
an  excellent  hkeuess,  and  the  fe-atures  ar« 
dcTclopcd  with  a  delicacy  that  well  ex> 
pressri)  tUo  tftfflness  of  flesh,  and  a  ded- 
aion  that  marks  the  maseoline  eharacCor. 
The  bold  and  msnterly  massing  of  the 
hair  has  much  of  iho  tact  of  the  scolpton 
of  thi^  «iili({ue  rtchuul.  It  is  not  frittered 
into  tnnnmerable  aubdiTisions  af  ringlets, 
like  the  peruques  of  a  fashionable  friseur. 
The  reverse  of  the  pii^e  records  the 
foundation  of  the  Nnnusmatic  Soriely.

and  ordered  its  buildings  to  be  demolished, 
without  excepting  even  the  church,  which 
was  interesting  as  an  object  of  art,  and

July  \^.  The  £/>r«f  CAoneWor  moved 
the  Bcrond  rending  of  the  pRiunv*'  Bttt . 
It  was  to  enable  the  magidmleK  of  the 
counties  to  Introduce  the  sepimtc  syictem 
into  the  various  prisonn  throughout  tbe 
counlry.  The  ^-epnnite  pyfitcm  bad  born 
tried  successfully  in  many  parts  of  Korope, 
but  with  particular  success  in  America. 
It  is  Jiot  neeesMfy,  however,  to  go  abroad 
to  fee  how  the  system  worked,  for  In 
many  prisons  it  was  in  full  operation. 
The  object  of  this  bill  wa<i  to  legalise  it» 
and  to  make  it  more  grnetally  cfTectivc 
in  thr  iirtMrns  throughovit  England. 
The  IMlte  of  Rirhmond  could  speak 
from  bis  own  knowkdge  of  the  prison  in 
Sua^ex,  and  he  knew  of  many  mnlaners 
where  men  Imd  fur  their  first  crime  been 
imprisoned  in  the  House  of  (?orrection, 
wbu  had  afterwordti  become  honest  and 
indoi^irious  mm.  It  Itad  been  th«  case 
bL-ture  that,  if  men  under  the  old  system 
were  dischiirgcd,  they  were  jeered  at,

When  firat  diacovcred  it  wai  slight ;  and,

doubt  it  would  have  been  extinguished 
witbont  much  mischief ;  but  before  any

Samuel  Grove  Price,  m^.  -374

Mr.  Price's  reading  was  at  once  varied 
nnd  extensive — and  his  memory  ver}-  re- 
tentive.    Thurydidcs  and  Tuciiu*.  Guic- 
Raniini  and  Tasfto,  Bacon  and  &n-o-.v, 
Gibbon  and  Burke,  were  alike  familiar  to 
kim ;  and  he  seemed  to  range  at  perfect 
liberty   over  the  whole  tield  of  anciciit 
and  modem  Utenture.      He  had  imbibed 
tie  «-|iirit,  and  formed  hira^lf  upon  the 
model  of  Edmund  Burke,  for  whose  me- 
mury  he  enttrtained  a  filial   reverence, 
ind  whose  writings  were  treasured  in  his 
heart.     His  principles  were  but  iti  suited 
to  ibe  age  in  which  be  lived,  for  they 
were  unending  as  the  oak,  and  he  would 
lave  laid  down  his  life  rather  than  have 
abandoned  them.     His  eloquence  par- 
luok  of  the  character  of  his  mind ;  it  was 
bold,  manly,  and  sincere.     No  false  glit- 
ter or  meretricious  ornament  impairt-d  its 
rif.rt,  or  disfigured  its  simplicity ;  whilst 
ki-  '.Aiiguaijc,  drawn  from  "  the  pure  wtrll 
of  Kiiglish  undefiled,"  flowed  on  in  a  rich 
vid  copious  tttream,  imparting  life  to  the 
driest,  and  beauty  to  the  mosit  unintvre<>t- 
i'.i^  subject.     His  maiiner  was  frank,  his 
lefDper  generous,  without  a  jiarticc  of 
enrv,  illiberality,  orf>elli*>bm-ss:  and  surfa 
Ka.«'lhe  re«pert  entertained  for  his  guile- 
lt«4  rharactcr,  his  f^trai)cbtforwardne»4  of 
runduct,  and  his  Ein(r]enp>s  of  purpose, 
that  umon^r^t  a  hoxt  of  puliiical  opponents 
kr  probably  bad  not  one  per^onul  enemy. 
He  married  in  IH30  .Marlmme, daughter 
of  William  Page,  esq.  formerly  Member 
of  Council  at  Butohay.    United  to  a  geiu 
tie  and  high<minded  woman,  who  knew 
his  worth  and  Ti-nerated  his   chHnictcr, 
and  ble-»sed  with  a  sweet  and  intere!>tiiig 
family,  be  was  not  only  blameless,  but 
eiemptary  in  all  the  relations  of  domestic 
lifr — a  lond  husband,  a  tender  fuihcr,  and 
a  >teady  friend.     In  a  word,  so  extmor. 
diiiar}-  were  the  powers  of  bin  mind,  and 
K)  endearing  the  qualities  of  his  heart, 
that  liecommandetlthe  respect  and  PHteem 
of  all  wbo  knew  him,  and  retuined  to  the 
hour  of  his  datb  an  influence  which  was 
■Imost  magical  over  the  friends  and  com.

We  havt  rewiTpd  the  letters  of  Gomir 
and  of  C-TMna  ;  but  the  Gaelic  C'untro- 
renj  hai  alrcntly  orcupinl  9t>  mucb  of 
onr  pages  that  we  must  rut  ui  Absolute 
TOto  to  any  argamcotB  tliat  ore  mvrel;

uvomed  fiignatorea  ;  and  to  evenr  rcpe- 
tirion  of  what  has  been  alreaij]r  said  on  the 
nibject.  The  tame  reply  most  be  streo  lo 
Mh.  FoRUEa,  from  whom  rte  hare  re> 
ooived  a  Poftaoript,  in  whifti  ho  Htatcs 
that  Che  paragraph  of  his  letter  (p.  154) 
should  have  come  in  before  the  tut  400. 
leoce  of  the  next— after  the  words  "  hu- 
mui  natur."  He  begs  teate  farther  to 
atat«,  respecdng  the  ftrst  verse  of  tbn 
7.Sth  Psnlm  (mcutioned  in  p.  151),  where 
the  Gaelic  version  use*  the  verb  royom, 
"  I  lift  np,"  iu  the  present  tense,  tbnt 
he  conridfrs  this  a  »uffieicnt  proof  that 
there  )s  such  a  tnnse  in  Garlic.  "  Tliat  the 
tense  Is  present,  olso,  in  the  Hebrew,  ad- 
mits of  no  doubt :  for  the  Psalmist  states 
what  he  habituiJly  doft,  not  what  he  in 
about  to  do.  The  furm  of  the  trn!<e  in 
Hebrew  is  what  some  ^ammimans  bare 
loosely  eallerl  the  future;  but,  for  all 
that,  the  meaning  is  nn^aent.  In  nome- 
roQs  other  instancM  tae  same  fbrm  of  the 
Terb  nprcsscs  present  time,  and  not  fu- 
ture. Hence  onr  best  Hebrew  granims- 
riana,  ProfetsorsLceand  KwnlJ,  have* pry 
properly  ceased  to  rail  it  future.  Should 
it  be  averted  that  in  the  above  Terse  the 
•ense  is  future  uid  not  pre«eni,  I  would 
ask  how  came  the  rariotu  nnlished  Inn- 
gUAgcs  of  Europe  to  use  tae  present  in 
their  respective  rcrrions  ?  But,  to  set

habits,  as  developed  in  the  mnnner,  character,  and  amuacuients  of  its

would  seciu  sufficient  to  tbew  the  im-

Rich,  then.,  and  copious  as  arc  the  materials  which  are  poured  from  the 
ttufehniise  of  ages  into  the  author's  hands,  it  w&s  only  required  of  him, 
that  he  should  draw  from  out  their  studious  and  citH^tcred  cells  those  who 
could  do  them  justice,  by  the  correctness  and  extent  of  their  knowledge, 
the  elegance  of  their  ta^te,  nud  a  kindred  cntbusiajim  for  those  "  coiise- 
crated  Ugwers"  which  arc  the  subject  of  the  work  :  accordingly,  we  are 
informed  that  *'  the  names  of  the  coutrihutors  command  such  respect 
already  for  literary  exertion  and  success,  that  they  would  alone  favourably 
introduce  his  work  to  the  public,  while  no  commendations  can  add  to

is  a  History  of  Gonvillc  and  Caius  College,  by  Joannes  Caius,  one  of  the 
founders.  This  volume  is  a  small  folio  MS.  on  velhim,  written  in  Iho 
form  of  a  Diary,  in  Latin,  the  date  of  tlie  latest  entry  being  I  ti03  ;  con* 
tinned  by  Mr.  William  Muore  to  1(J48.  There  is  anutbcr  copy  of  this 
history  existing  in  the  College,  the  text  of  which  occasionally  differs  from 
that  of  the  former.  One  instHiicc  is  worth  mentioning ;  at  |>agc  19.^ 
of  the  latter,  is  this  notice,  "  Una  nobiscuni  per  jnvcntutcni  hujus  Collcgil  ^M 
pensionarius  erat  Thomas  Gresham,  nobilis  illc  et  dodisiimw  uiercator, 
Blc."  Upon  the  last  of  which  epithets,  one  of  his  bic^raphers^  Dr.  Ward, 
founded  a  conjecture,  that  Gresliam  had  resided  some  tiute  after  taking  his 
degree  at  College  ;  but  this  theory  was  overturned  by  the  discovery  that 
the  word  in  the  earlier  copy  v^as  ditisyimus.  An  interesting  mctito- 
rial  of  the  College  and  its  eminent  Founder  follows,  with  an  account  of  the 
numerous  *'  physicians  of  note  and  figure,"  who  have  been  members  of  i^ 
of  whom  Harvey  *  is  the  Hrstand  foremost  ;  and  the  illustrious  list  clos 
with  the  name  of  Wollnston.  It  appears  that  this  great  philosopher  tra 
elected  to  one  of  the  Medical  Fe]loudhi|is  fuunded  by  Dr.  Caius  { 
that  he  commenced  the  practice  uf  his  profession,  when  he  wasl 
defeated  in  a  contest  for  the  situation  of  physician  to  St.  Geor^ge'fl 
Hospital  ;  and  that  this  disiijipoinlment,  joined  with  his  ardent  love  fo 
scientific  investiga,lion8,  induced  him  to  uithdraw,  as  John  Hunter  alwayd 
wished  to  do,  from  the  practical  pursuit  of  medicine,  and  devote  himself  I 
actencific  investigation.  Win  means  of  support,  and  his  leisure,  he  owed  I 
the  wise  forethought  and  innnificent  foundation  of  Cains.  We  next  com^

some  centuries  after  the  iotrodDction  cf  CbrUtiasity  into  our  oirn  iilaixl, 
the  practice  of  interment  in  churches  was  rarely  permitted  ;  nor  could 
the  warmest  wishes  of  piety  justify  the  conversion  of  the  Temples  of  God, 
which  are  built  for  the  use  of  the  living,  into  "whitened  sepulchres  full  of 
dead  men's  bones,  and  all  andeanness."  We  must  confess^  that  to  our 
minds  it  has  almost  the  appearance  of  sacrilege  :  it  was  a  custom  unknown 
among  the  Jews.  Another  statement  to  nrhicb  we  object,  is  the  following : 
"There  is  in  the  nave  of  the  Cathedral  of  Rochester,  a  flag-stone  bearing 
the  effigy  of  an  axe,  from  which  the  brass  has  been  torn  away,  and  under 
it  tradition  says  that  Fisher  was  afterwards  privately  buried  by  his 
friends;  the  body  having  been  first  deposited  in  the  church  of  All  Hal- 
lows, Barking."  This  is  an  idle  story,  like  those  told  by  cunning  vergers 
to  credulous  spectators,  and  not  worth  repeating.  There  is^  in  ftict^  no 
stone  in  Rochester  Cathedral  actually  carved  with  the  outline  c»f  an  axe. 

The  third  number  opens  with  an  account  of  the  Butaiiicul  Garden,  which, 
it  appears,  was  founded  in  1763,  by  the  liberality  of  Dr.  U'alker,  tlic  Vicu 
Master  of  Trinity  College.  The  ground  selected  waif  the  mU:  of  the 
monastery  of  the  Austin  Friars,  in  the  |Mrish  of  St.  Kdwardn,  wliicli  was

Sir  F.  Chantrey.  •  when  be  visited  Cambridge,  ordered  the  iron  railing 
roond  it  to  be  removed,  and  a  portion  of  the  wail  behind  to  be  dark- 
ened, so  as  to  throw  out  the  fignre  into  fall  relief. 

The  Paper  that  sncceeds  on  the  Ancient  Amusements  of  the  Univer- 
sity, is  written  with  some  research,  though  not  with  the  accuracy  that 
might  have  been  attained.  Among  the  most  ancient  were  tilts  and  tour- 
naments, of  which  old  Fuller  justly  remarks—"  That  when  Mars  holds  his 
term,  the  Muses  may  even  keep  their  vacation."  They  were  prohibited  by 
Henry  the  Third,  in  124.5,  and  again  in  1270.  In  kdward  the  Third's 
time,  a  statute  was  promulgated  against  dancing  ;  after  which  there  is  no 
public  notice  of  academic  sports  before  the  reign  of  Edward  the  Sixth- 
He  issued  a  statute  enabling  the  University  to  put  down  all  schools  for 
sword-fighting,  fencing,  and  dancing ;  to  remove  all  dice-houses,  and 
to  prohibit  the  scholars  from  being  spectators  of  or  joining  in  the  game 
of  SCUTA.  The  scholars  were  also  prohibited  from  walking  in  the 
town  alone,  nor  could  they  go  to  markets  or  frequent  the  law  courts 
without  leave  from  the  Vice  Chancellor.  In  Elizabeth's  reign,  there 
were  fresh  prohibitions  against  cock-fighting,  bull  and  bear- baiting,  for 
which  amusements  there  was  a  ring  in  the  Market  Place,  as  in  Stam- 
ford and  other  towns.  An  enactment  in  Henr^*  the  Eighth's  reign  pro- 
hilnted  cross-bows,  hand-gons,  hag-buts,  and  demihakes,  but  earnc^it- 
ly  enforced  the  ancient  statutes  of  the  realm  relating  to  archery, 
ordering  "  that  all  men,  nnder  the  age  of  sixty,  except  parsons 
and  justices,  shall  use  and  exercise  shooting  in  long-bows,  and  also 
have  bows  and  arrows  continually  in  their  houses,"  Edict**  were  infiue*] 
in  subsequent  reigns  against  any  of  the  prevailing  B[K»rts,  aa  fencing, 
k)ggats,  bunting,  foot-ball,  and  even  prohibiting  bathing,  which  last  singular

intellectual  and  relmcd  nmuscmeuts  of  theatrical  representation,  we  find) 
the  first  record  of  the  performance  of  mysteries:  mid  plays  occurs  in  the 
year  1350,  when  \S'illiatu  Jjcnnc,  and  Isabel  his  wife,  expended  in  the  play 
of  "the  Sods  of  Israel,"  half  a  mark.  From  1511  till  the  Prolectornte, 
plays  were  acted  annually  in  the  different  Colleges,  and  all  ranks  of  acade- 
mics took  part  in  the  performances.    The  same  custom  prevailed  at  Oxford. 

The  author  of  this  article  gives  ue  at  p.  99,  et  seq.,  a  list  of  academical 
plny8>  formed  from  copies  still  remaining  in  the  college  libraries  :  but  it 
loses  much  of  its  value  from  its  uaut  of  dales,  and  its  not  being  formed  in-j 
a  chronological  arrangenient.     There  in  reason  also  to  suppost;  that  in  soroeJ 
cases   the    manuscripts  arc  of  ordinary  plays,  not  peculiarly  connected! 
with  the  University.     This  was  evidently  llic  character  of  Middleton'si 
"Game  at  Chess,"  of  which  some  extracts  are  given.  That  entitled  "  Jeph- 
tha,"  is  probably  the  play  by  Henry  Chettle,  which  was  acted  in    Hi02, 
but  wbichia  the  Biographia  Uramatica  is  stuted  *Mo  be  now  lust."     At  p.  J 
105,  Peck's  "Desidtrata  Curiosa"  is  misquoted  with  respect  to  the  playal 
performed  before  Queen  Elizabeth  in  U'lO-l.        The  Aulularta  of  Plautuii 
was  jK-rformed  on  the  Sunday  -,    a  play  calK'd  "  Dido"   (certainly  not  that 
by   Christopher  Mailow)   on  the  Monday  ;    and    an  English  play  called 
JLzechias  (not  as  the  author  has  it  Krechias)  on  the  Tuesday;  but   tho 
tragedy  of  ISophocles,  **called  Ajax  l'lagcllifcr,in  fyatin,"  was  not  jterformed, 
the  former  plays  having  already  "overwatched"  the  Queen,  who,  as  Win- 
wood  says,  "  was  xveary  at  the  comedies,  they  being  meanly  performed, 
though   she  dissembled  her  uneasiness  %-ery  artfully."     These  dramatic 
peiformnnces  much  scandaliaed  the  puiitnns.  who  could  out  bear  poetry 
of  any  kind,  much  less  dramatic,  and  probably  not  the  leas,  from  their 
commencing  on  a  Sunday,  in  Kiitg's  College  chapel,  where  a  stage  was  erect 
ed  at  the  Queen's  expense,* 

The  plays  performed  before  King  James  the  First,  on  his  visit  to  Cam 
bridge  in  161  ]-lo,  were  ^Jnilia,  a  I^tin  comedy,  by  Mr.  CecJII,  of  St.

The  author  of  NManthc,  Fnbula  Pastoroli*.  (Cnnt.  Ito.  1615)  had  pre- 
riously  written  another  l^atin  pastond,  of  vvliicb  the  title  is  thus  give  u  in 
the  Cimbridge  Portfolio :  "  Seyms,  in  Trinity  Library,  O.  3,  4,  a  paper 
MS.  in  I>atin  verse  :  a  list  of  the  dmiiiatis  persona;,  with  the  names  of  the 
actors,  shows  how  the  piece  was  east  between  under- grail uates,  bachelors, 
and  fellows."  'Hicdatcof  thcperfonnnnccof  Scyros,  was  when  Charles 
Prince  of  Wales,  anri  his  brother-in-law  Frederick  ('ount  Palatine,  visited 
the  University  in  March  1611^-13,  when  "  on  two  distinct  nights  a  comic 
and  pastoral  fable,  both  in  Latin,  were  acted  before  their  highnesses  and 
other  spectators,  by  the  students  of  Trinity  Collegia."  See  King  James's 
Progrcftsea,  \*ol.  iii-p.  1087  :  where  also  it  is  added  that,  "  Scyros  is  in  MS. 
in  inc  library  of  Kmaouel  College.  The  eoraeJy  was  probably  either 
Clytophon,  Pseudoniasia  (by  Mr.  Mcwe,  of  Hmaniiel),  or  Zclotypus,  also 
M^S.  in  the  same  library  ;  and  the  last  of  which^  says  the  Biographia  Dra- 
matical has  the  names  of  the  performers  attached  to  their  respective  cha- 
racters." Here  the  editor  of  the  Portfolio  has  three  new  dramatic  titles 
presented  to  him  ;  and  we  expect  him  to  pnrsue  the  subject,  by  procuring 
copies  of  the  sevenl  dramatis  personx,  which  he  might  publish  with  brief 
notes,  as  Mr.  Nichols  has  set  him  tlie  example  in  the  ease  of  some  of  the 
plays  exhibited  before  King  James  the  First.  ^Vc  add  from  the  same 
valuable  historical  work,  that  in  March  l(il.>-16,  "The  King  bad  a  play, 
at  Koystoii,  acted  by  some  of  the  yonnger  C'antabrigians,"  which  is  sug- 
gestcfl  to  have  been  l^byrinthus,  by  ^fr.  tiawkcsworth,  of  «  hich  tlic  first 
published  edition  was  of  163G  :  and  that  again  his  Majesty  visited  the  Uni- 
versity, iu  \ft'2'2-3,  jjurposely  to  u'itncisEi  the  performance  of  Dr.  John 
Hackct's  comedy  of  Loyala,  which  was  subsequently  printed  in  lG-18.  As 
wc  are  quitting  this  nuhject,  we  may  as  well  observe,  that  the  latest  perform- 
ance of  playii  of  this  nature  on  record  is  that  before  Prinee  CharlcS)  in  IG42. 
Soon  after^  the  civil  wars  broke  out,  and  all  public  diversions  were  discon- 
lioncd.  In  lf!47  it  was  decreed  that  all  actors  in  plays,  for  the  time  to 
come,  should  be  publicly  whipped,  and  the  spectators  Hncd  hre  shiUiugs.

<ind  it  required  the  death,  rvon,  of  theob- 
jrct  of  such  encoroiam,  to  bare  tiie  ume 

pnhli<>lTi<tkrtuwlcdged." 


Now,  first,  as  to  Mason's  lincSj  wc  must  express  onr  opitiion,  thnl  they 
arc  far  beneath  the  giibjcct  which  they  have  attempted  to  rccon), 

"  No  more  the  Grecian  muse  uurtvolled  reigns, 
To  Britain  let  the  nations  homage  pay : 
She  sees  s  Homer's  firr  in  MiltonV  strum, 
A  Pindiir'8  rapture  in  the  lyre  of  Gray." 

Fn  the  first  place,  these  lines  are  not  in  any  way   more  appropriate  to 
Oray  than  to  Milton,  and  might  be  transferred  wiUioiit  impropriety  to  the 
monument  of  the  latter.     Secondly,  the  expression  of  "  Homer's  fire"  is 
neither  classical  nor  correct,  as  expressive  of  the  calm  dignity  and  varii*<l 
style  of  the  epic  poem.    Thirdly,  the  rapture  of  Pindar  ought  not  lo  be 
compared  to  the  l^re  at  Gray,  but  to  some  corresponding  quality  in  his 
poetical  style.     Then,  as  to  the  critic's  assertion,  that  it  re<juire5  one  born 
beyond  the  Tweed  to  discern  Gray's  merits  as  a  poet,  nnd  even  bis  death, 
before  Envy  would  acknowledge  them,  wc  beg  to  contradict  it  by  every 
authority  in  our  power  to  advance.     Never  was  n  poet  more  privately 
esteemed,  and   publicly  honoured,  than  the  author  of  the  Bard.     Kvery 
man   of  liteniture,   and  nf    taste,   acknowledged  bis  genius :  and   to  his  I 
high  reputation  he  owed  the  Hituntion,  which  secured  C(im]X'tenec  nud  vvisa\ 
to  the  latter  days  of  bis  solitary'  and  studious  life.      Even  the  University 
in  which  he  resided  returned  the  dislike,  which  he  took  no  trouble  to  con- 
ceal, only  with  admiration  ;  and  wlicncver  the  pnet  was  seen  in  his   wulksi 
(which  was  not  frccpicnt)  in  the  public  gardens  or  promeujides,  he  watt  Utterly  j 
followcdj  perhaps  by  no  obtrusive  feet,  but  certainly  by  no  incurious  eyea. 
Walpole  boasted  of  hiui  as  his  Gray;   \Varburtoii   publicly  and  beuitily 
admired  and   praised  bini.     He  had   tlie    re>)peet  of  Itiinl ;  the   cordiul

nf  estimating  the  merits  of  his  exqnisitc  vein  of  |»oetry.     The  next  dietuml 
of  onr  critic  is,  that  "  perhaps  the  truet.t  judgment  ever  past  u|»on  (<ray'sj

have  r\pt;iincd,  what  arc  the />erv//ar  qtmlttiea  wliieh  formed  the  sublimity 
of  Milton's  style,  nnd  tiWinguUhed  it  from  thnt  of  other  poets,  which  made 
hill)  select  it  for  a  cotiipnrisuu  with  thnt  of  Gray ;  and  why  he  compitrcs 
(iray's  l)ricnl  style  with  the  finished  and  nntitheticol  manner  of  Pope's 
renificntiun,  to  which  vrt:  see  iio  resemblance,  Agnin,  the  poetrj'  of 
Miltun  was  elegant  and  bjirmonioua  as  it  is  subliinc  :  Pope  himself  never 
could  equal  the  Doric  delicacy  of  Coniua  and  Lycidas.  and  the  Arcades  j 
and  he  never  could  approach  the  niagnifieent  swell  of  the  organ-pejil  in 
which  tlie  Paradise  IvOiit  rolls  on  to  our  dcliglitcd  nnd  astonished  ears. 
Gray  never  thought  of  joining  the  sublimity  of  Milton  to  the  elegance  of 
IVjK,  thougli  he  is  both  sublime  and  elegimt  ;  nnd  even  If  he  had  "  written  a 
litUe  niorc,'^  he  certainlv  would  not  "  hnve  been  the  first  poct  in  tk*:  English 
Imtfuaye,"  however  hitjli  he  might  have  stood  amidst  the  noble  brother- 
hood of  tlie  poets.  The  next  observation  with  which  we  are  favoured  ia, 
that"  the  Kiegy  geuemllymonopoHzcs the  whole  praiscdueto  Gray "s genius, 
and  yet  we  are  certainly  of  Dr.  Beattie's  opinion,  that  it  is  by  no  means 
the  best  of  his  works."  We  dare  to  say  that  Dr.  Bealtie,  wlien  he  wrote 
those  wonlSj  was  ready  to  CTtplain  the  grounds  of  his  opinion,  and  to  sup- 
port thera  by  such  an  nnalysiw  of  Gray's  poetical  productions,  aa  wonld  do 
liim  honour  as  a  poet  and  a  critic  ;  but  us  wc  do  not  possess  nny  full  and 
particular  criticism  from  him  on  the  subject,  we  arc  at  liberty  to  say,  that 
it  is  by  no  means  an  easy,  and  |>erliaps  not  a  very  useful  task  to  compare 
ttic  merits  of  poems  of  such  difTercnt  classes  as  the  Bani  and  Elegy,  and 
pronounc4;  on  tlicir  comparative  merits.  In  n  number  of  this  Maga- 
xior,  n  year  or  two  back,*  wo  had  occasion  to  enter  minutely  into 
U*«  cont{H>«ition  of  the  Elegy,  and  to  shew  what  wc  considered  tn  be  its 
defects  in  language  and  structure.  But  wc  consider  it  as  a  whole  to  be 
conceived  with  the  6iiest  fHx:tical  feeling,  and  that  some  of  the  stanzas  nru 
of  the  very  hij^hcst  quality  ;  the  faults,  such  as  they  arc,  are  chiefly  de- 
rived from  (iray's  manner  of  composition.  With  regard  toils  popularity, 
we  con  oidy  say  that  he  who  cannctt  feel  the  beauties  nnd  understand  the 
grend  style  of  composition  in  whieh  the  Bard  and  the  lyric  poems  arc  writ- 
ten, will  have  but  a  superficial  rtcqunintance  with  the  merits  of  the  Elegy. 
Our  critic  then  speculates  on  the  cause  of  Gray's  having  writ- 
ten »o  little  i  and  after  haxitig  declared  that  it  did  uot  arise  from  the 
fear  of  paltry  criticism  (who  ever  supiioscd  it  did 'rl  he  says  "probably 
Gibbon  was  right  In  referring  the  cause  of  (iray's  writing  so  few  poems  to 
the  miiifortttne  of  his  suffering  himself  to  be  led  away  from  the  romantic 
paths  of  P.imA.t8U5  into  the  nigged  and  cheerless  road  of  criticism  and 
uiatter&  of  fact."  N6w,  not  aword  of  this  U  Gibbon's; — who  was  not 
likely  to  talk  about  "the  cheerless  road  of  matters  of  fact;"  but  he 
asks  a  <|uestioa  that  does  honour  tu  his  taste,  and  ahcws  his  admiration  of 
(iniy'b  genius.  He  observes,  '*  \\'\\y  did  not  Gniy,  instead  of  compiling

and,  by  an  easy  corniption,  /(*  Chcvaronelca,  and  thence  Chex^ron.  That

too  old  and  wary  to  be  caught  in  the  traps  which  etymologists  arc  setting

The  baronial  haune  of  Manniua,  was,  in

We  have  Keen  also  that  the  union  of  tbo

any  stain  to  the  lineage  so  uuUecd  :  but

who  waft  dead  A.D.  1590,  in  bis  play, 
entitled  "  Edward  the  Firut,"  gives  as 
some  Kcucs  reflecting  the  gmvc»t  scamlala

d'Acred,  wife  to  Gilbert  de  CIor«,  father

Bcntation  is  imagiuaiy,  and  utterly  op- 
posed to  fact ;  and  the  only  wonder  is. 
thul  it  should  ever  have  been  invented  or 
tMlirated.  The  wotin  and  devoted  aiTeo-

deuce,  but  has  been  handed  down  in  one  unvarying  traditbn  amon^ 
Uie  fcllowa  of  the  Colleyie.  Its  ii^c  is  nuirked  ou(,  not  so  mach  by 
its  size.  «hicb  is  rather  diminutive,  as  by  the  strong  proportion  of  iti 
liuiba,*  by  their  abruptly  tapering  towards  ihcir  extrcmiticfi,  and  by  their 
almo^tt  tnvariHbly  fltrikiiig  odTrom  each  other  at  right  angles.  The  ncces- 
fiity  of  propping  it  witli  erntehos,  arose  from  tlie  decay  of  the  main  trunk, 
the  interior  of  vrhich  bos  long  becu  EtuQed  with  a  rich  composition  of 
muiure,  wiiUe  the  outside  has  been  enerustcd  with  a  covering  of  sheet 
Icthd.  A  tempest,  which  some  time  v^o  threw  down  nmny  younger  and 
stouter  tree:),  nearly  twisted  the  old  Atiltoninu  mnllx'rry  round  its  axis, 
prop«  and  all  taking  a  part  in  tLc  pirouette.  Vet  every  spring,  obedient  to 
the  call  of  Flora,  it  puts  forth  its  leaves  with  all  tlio  vigour  of  youth,  and 
Autumn  Ijebolds  it  richly  latlen  with  it^i  pnrjile  fruit.  Ttiin  cherished  and  ve- 
nerable tree  was  however  nearly  doomed,  hkc  an  old  mnrtyr,  to  snfTer  from 
t!ie  fires  of  persecution. f  For,  when  a  fi'w  years  since  the  discovery  of  the 
posthumous  MS,  in  the  State  Pnjwr  Oflirp,  since  published  and  translated 
Iiy  the  joint  Inbonrs  of  Dr.  Sumner  and  Mr.  S.  Walker,  confirmed  the  suspi- 
cion of  Milton's  Arian  heresy,  the  holiest  of  the  orthodox  would  have  had 
the  old  mulberry, — **  heu  !  tnnti  ignarus  mail," — extirpated  root  and  branch, 
as  a  tree  that  was  heretical  and  damnable  ;  but  the  fellows  of  the  Collcf^c 
nnited  in  resisting  tliitt  dangerous  outbreak  of  religious  zeal,  and  it  still 
aarvives  to  make  snuff-boxes  and  looth-j)ick  ca»cs,  we  trust,  for  many  a 
saccecdlng  generatinu. 

Before  wc  quit  this  sabjcct,  and  the  name  of  this  immortal  i>oet  for  the 
last  time  drops  from  our  pen,  wc  mnsi  express  our  surprise  and  sorrow 
tliat  tlie  author  of  this  paper  should  have  shown  a  doubtful  fecliui;  on  a  sub- 
ject, which  we  consider  to  have  been  snfEeiently  rcfntcd,  viz.  on  MiUon's 
haoinjf  rectived personal  puninhntfnt  at  College ;  and  we  sincerely  trust  that 
it  vill  never  he  thought  necessary  by  any  biographer  to  allude  to  it  again. 
Had  a  little  more  industry  and  attention  been  given  to  the  perusal  of 
passages  in  Milton's  own  works,  and  a  little  more  candour  in  the  iuterjire- 
tilion  of  his  language,  such  a  mistake  could  not  have  arisen :  but  what 
Jolinaon  was  nut  unwilling  to  belieTO,  others  who  followed  him  in  the  same 
path,  have  been  contented  to  repeat.  Our  readers,  we  are  snrc,  will  not 
gmdgc  us  the  atteutlou  of  a  few  minutes'  perusal  of  the  following  lines, 
while  we  remove  an  unnecessary  and  ignominious  stath  on  the  youthful 
character  of  the  author  of  Paradise  Lost.  Before  Milton  went  to  Cam- 
bridj^e.  he  h.vl  l>eon  brought  up  under  the  affectionate  care  of  a  most 
tirlTion*  nnd  enlightened  father,  a  person  himself  of  considerable  accom-

This  is  the  view  of  the  subject,  which  the  editor  of  the  Aldiiic  edition 
uf  Miltun  first  took  ;  whit  li  wjis  supported  by  uddittoiml  proofs  in  our 
Maj^zirie  of  November  I83G;  ivhich  was  approved  by  Sir  Ejjertou 
Br^rdget),  in  his  editiou  ;  and  which  wc  believe  iucludeii  all  the  faols  on  the 
eub^ect  that  are  ut^cossary  to  be  knu\\n.  More  than  a  century  after,  the  sister 
University  was  attacked  in  the  same  manner  fur  jiresenliiiir  these  brnbble- 
nicnts  of  logic  and  metaphyKics  to  the  Ktudents,  in  the  place  of  solid  and

Of  the  Poetry  scattered  through  these  niimlwrs,  though  there  is  r  good 
Sonnet  to  Bonthy.  and  not  a  bad  one  to  Newton,  yet  Mr.  Wilmot's* 
Dreaoi  of  the  Poeta  is  decidedly  the  beat,  and  is  a  very  elegant  compo- 
sition ;  from  this,  therefore,  we  must  make  our  extract ;  aiid^  first, 
for  Milton : 

"  P«r  off  thy  reduDt  oomiof^  ikinet,

Within  tbft  i>oct'»  cloudlea*  »onl  awoltt', 
And  etch  emotion  of  his  fnncy  spoke  ; 
Pesee  to  hiM  trnulilrd  irpirit,  while  he  ioar'd, 
On  the  dark  hour  of  hii  decay  woa  pour'd

And  alt  the  ballowrd  pump  uf  ['alfstiim.

he  accompanied  into  Fnuoce,  and,  so- 
journing at  the  Uaiverstty  of  Tnoc- 
louse,  he  became  professor  of  DWinkr 
tbere,  and  was  afterwards  consecrated 
Bishop  of  the  diocese  of  Aire,  in 
Gascooy.  From  that  see  he  was 
promoted,  in  1391,  to  the  archbishopric 
of  Dublin,  and  in  the  following  rear 
was  made  Chancellor  of  Ireland.  In 
1394  be  contribated  to  the  eotertain- 
ment  of  Richard  the  Second  when  the 
king  kept  his  Christinas  in  Dablia ; 
and  shortly  after  he  was  one  of  the 
Ambassadors  sent  to  negociate  the 
Kiog's  marriage  with  Isabel  of  France. 
Like  some  Eogiishmen  uf  later 
times,  Waldeby  seems  tohave  regarded 
a  residence  in  Ireland  as  an  expatria- 
tion, and  in  1393  he  was  contented  to 
resigo  his  arc hiepis copal  dignity  for 
the    sobordinate  see    of    Chichester.

There  were  originally  three  shields 
of  arms  upon  the  slab :  of  which  tbs 
central  oneremains.  being  the  favourite 
achievement  of  King  Richard  the  Se- 
cond,* viz.  an  impalement  of  the  pre- 
sumed arms  of  King  Edward  the  Con- 
fessor, with  the  quarterly  coat  of 
France  and  England  :  but  the  two 
lateral  shields  have  been  long  since 
removed.  The  seal  we  now  publish  is 
therefore  valuable  as  showing  'nhat 
the  arms  of  Archbishop  Waldeby  were. 
None  of  his  seals  for  the  sees  of  Dub- 
lin, Chichester,  or  York  have  hitherto 
come  into  the  large  collection  formed 
by  Mr.  Doableday,  of  Little  Russell- 
street  ;  otherwise  his  personal  arms 
might  also  be  expected  to  be  found 
upon  them,  as  is  the  case  T.-ilh  the 
seals  of  his  contemporary  Archbishop 
Arundel.

in  ibat  capacity  we  fittd  it  niotic  (ihaL 
is.  Dot  impalctl>  ou  the  lieal  before  us. 
The  cross-keys  of  course  refer  to 
St.  I'ctcr,  tu  whuni  York  mintiter  is 
dedicated  :  anil  ho  does  the  crown,  or 
tiara ;  for  one  raode  of  representing  St. 
Peter  was  in  the  costume  of  the  popes, 
and  the  crown,  as  engraved  on  the  seal , 
is  of  the  form  of  the  papal  crown,  or 
tiara.  After  the  Kcformation  this  wa» 
altered  to  a  royal  crown,  and  in  that 
form  it  hasappeareil  on  the  inunument 
of  Archbishop  Piers,  who  died  in 
l.^>04.nnd  na  dnwnwardii  to  the  cuach- 
panels  of  his  Grace  the  present  Arch- 
bishop. 

It  It)  remarkable  that  another  seal 
wofl  engraved  for  a  distant  place, 
exactly  correspondent  in  pattern  to 
that  liefore  us.  We  refer  to  the  seal 
of  the  College  founded  at  Maidatone  by 
WillintQ  Courtenay,  Arcbbisbnp  of 
Canterbury;  tine  side  of  which  is  of 
the  same  size,  ha#  the  ^ame  onin- 
mental  tracery,  and  a  shield  of  the 
same  size,  bearing  the  pall  of  tliu  sec 
ofCaalerbnry  impaled  with  the  per- 
sonal arinb  oftbe  Arcbbtahoji.  Maid- 
stone College  was  founded  in  139S. 

[f^rh  of  the  matrices  of  our  seat  is 
iuinihbed  with  four  lateral  rings ; 
through  whirh  pins  ^ve^c  passed, 
which  had  the  effect  of  making  Uic  two 
impre&sions  perfectly  parallel  and  cor- 
respondent. 'Ilicse  rings  rendered  any 
fither  handle  nnnccessniy.  Ific  ma- 
trices are  still  preserved  in  or  near  Dur- 
ham, but  we  have  lost  the  name  of 
their  present  possessor. 

I'hc  legend  on  both  sides  la  the

'i'hc  lordship  of  Ilexlildesham. 
Hexham,  in  Northumberland,  belonge 
to  the  Archbwhops  of  York  from  the 
reign  of  Henry  the  First  to  that  of 
C^ucen  Elir.alK'tli.  when  Archbishop 
llolgntc  exchanged  it  for  some  abbej 
lands  with  the  Crown.  The  Arch^ 
bishops  of  York  enjoyed  in  this  mand 
very  large  and  exciusive  privilcgesJ 
and  a  p&latine  jurisdiction,  indepcnUf 
ant  of  the  uHiccrs  of  the  Crown,  Tlii 
circumstance  accounts  for  no  uiogniltj 
cent  a  seal  being  prtivided  for  thij 
lordbhip.  We  can  only  coojcctur 
the  cause  of  the  matrices  having  been 
prcscrvetl,  instead  of  being  broken  up 
as  woa  customary*  on  the  day  of  the 
archbishop's  funeral ;  but  it  may  be 
imagined  that,  as  Archbishop  de 
Waldely  survived  for  so  short  a  lime 
his  promotion  to  the  see  of  York,  this 
seal  might  be  never  actually  brought 
into  official  use,  and  may  not  have 
been  delivered  to  the  custody  of  his 
chancellor  previously  to  his  dtcense-'f

Without  a  knowledge  of  the  atroog 
aspiration  of  the  A,  by  natives  of  tho 
west,  it  i^,  perhaps,  not  so  evident; 
but  with  that  knowledge  it  willappeor 
[tiainly  that  their  prnnunciation  of

form,  approaclies  very  nearly  to  that 
which  ia  elucidated  by  the  rules  given 
by  phiblogers  for  our  guidance  in  the

accenting  of  hror.  in  any  other  way

or,  the  atatc  or  manner  of  existing ;  nad  then  the  meaning  I  conjecture  to  be  aun 
thing  Ukt:  this : 

"  (I,  "^.rtjCiuod  fult  esse, what  ourexiatencc  liath  been;  (4,5)  quod  est.  what  it  ia

PalyOteigm  of  the  Ancient  Bfilous. 


[Sept. 


ODc  living  and  iruo  God,  or  at  what 
aira  or  in  what  manner  the  corrup- 
tions of  PolyUirtbin  erupt  in.  But  if* 
in  the  case  of  the  Jcwt»h  nation, 
whom  R  Kpecia)  voice  fiom  Hcavea« 
heard  od  Mount  Sinai,  had  warned  in 
awful  accents  againtst  the  »in  of  idola- 
try, there  was  {txs  is  shewn  in  the 
Bacred  writing»)  an  ever  recurring 
propensity  to  full  intu  idolRtry,  can 
we  wonder  that  other  le^^s  favoured 
oations  should  sink  into  the  name  abo- 
minations ?  But  there  is  no  partufthia 
subject  more  remarkable,  none  more 
deserving  of  investigation,  than  the 
similitude  existing  in  the  names  and 
attributes  of  deities  in  different  cli- 
mates and  in  ditl'erent  ages,  and  at 
BO  great  a  distance  from  each  other, 
wliich  can  only  he  accounled  for  oo 
the  bUppQsitiun  that  they  deduced 
their  origin  from  one  common  source, 
the  immediate  dL-scemlants  rif  Noah  ; 
and,  however  pure  and  unsullied  the 
knoHtedgi-  transmitted  by  them  to 
succeeding  geoeratiuns  might  be  m  its 
origin,  yet  the  fnither  it  receded  from 
the  fountain-head,  the  more  it  lo«t  of 
its  original  purity,  and  like  other 
atreama  became  turbid  in  its  course 
from  foreign  admixture,  till  in  most 
instances  It  partially,  and  in  some 
entirely,  lopt  uJI  traces  of  its  high  dc> 
scent.  As  languages  multiplied,  great 
changes  took  place  i  the  original 
meauiag  of  sacred  terms  was  for- 
gotten, and  the  uame»  as  well  a^  clr- 
camstaoces  were  often  perverted  or 
engrafted  on  the  history  of  the  country; 
or  perhaps  new  terms  of  similar  sig- 
DificatiuD  in  their  own  language,  and 
more  in  unison  with  their  habits  and 
prejudices,  introduced  in  their  stead. 
And  the  wonder  is.  that  these  slreonu 
of  religious  knowledge,  after  flowing 
through  so  many  different  chaoosls. 
should  retain  the  slightest  tincture  nf 
their  original  lounlain. 

Those  who  are  conversant  with  the 
oriental  languages  of  antiquity  will 
often  be  able  to  trace  thom  in  other 
tottguL'it,  especially  in  audi  tcnns  aa 
have  a  I'l/ei'ittee  to  tkinr  tUilie»,  or  to 
their  mlifjiouM  nit^  and  cm'wnitv. 
Where  every  other  source  of  informA' 


tioa  is  wanting,  it  will  often  happen 
that  the  on  I  y  light  that  can  be  cast  upon 
the  origin  of  certain  forms  of  idolatry, 
must  be  derived  from  etymological  in- 
vestigation. 1  am  well  aware  how 
objectionable  i&  the  custom  of  iodLs- 
criminately  deducing  etymologiea  from 
oriental  languages,  fur  there  is  great 
danger  of  falling  (as  many  very 
learned  men  have  done)  into  Uie 
gronsest  absutdities.  No  pcrnonit  are 
BO  willing  to  be  deceived,  where  ihey 
have  an  hypothesis  to  carry,  as  anti- 
quaries J  and  there  arc  few  oames  oti 
persons  nr  place*  to  which  an  inge- 
nious scholar  might  not  succeed  ia 
finding  some  supposed  similarity  in 
the  ancient  languages  of  the  east,  and 
especially  in  a  language  like  the 
Hebrew,  where  every  root  is  capable 
of  so  many  romhinj.tinn!>.  In  a  fnnnrr 
paper  I  endeavoured  to  »hew  the  ori- 
ental origin  of  some  of  the  deities 
worshipped  hy  the  ancient  Biitons. 
The  object  of  the  present  paper  is  to 
supply  further  proofs  of  this  position, 
and  especially  such  as  may  be  drawn 
from  inscriptions  on  altars  dmlicated 
to  certain  deities  worshipped  in  Bri- 
tain. Nothing  can  be  more  evident* 
from  the  great  Dumber  of  altars 
which  have  been  brought  to  light  in 
different  parta  of  Britain,  that,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  national  deities,  there 
were  certain  Dii  Mmores  worship 
in  particular  province*.  From 
inscriptions  still  preserved,  the  a 
of  several  !^uch  local  deities  are  knowo^, 
and  it  is  probable,  had  a  proper  re 
cord  of  BDch  inscriptions  been  pre-] 
served,  a  curious  catalogue  of  local 
deities  might  have  been  formed,  which 
would  have  contributed  to  our  know* 
ledge  of  this  interesting  subject. 

I  hod  written  my  former  paper  a\ 
Druidism.    bffore   1    was  aworu    thai

PolythtMm  of  the  Ancient  BritOM, 


of  tlie  Roman  Ecnpire^  if  not  at  a 
roach  earlier  period.  I  should  men- 
tion, also,  aaotber  altur  found  in 
NorttiQinberland,  dedicated  "  DEO 
MOVNO  CAD,"  which  h  usually 
considered  only  another  nnme  for 
MogoD  ;  at  the  same  time  I  must  ac- 
knowledge that  the  identity  of  the 
two  names  is  by  no  raeaoa  so  very 
evident  to  me  as  to  some  other 
writers. 

The  ctytnology  of  the  name,  from  a 
British  word  Moyn.aignifying  "a  buU/' 
ia  supported  by  Davies,  who  is  correct 
in  considering  the  bull  as  one  of  the 
•jrmbola  of  solar  worship.  It  was 
also  employed  as  an  emblem  of  the 
moon,  for  we  find  it  said  of  Astarte 
(who  was  worshipped  in  Britain  also) , 

"  €ir*Bt)K(  TT}  iJ^ta  KftpaXt}  ^aatXttat  irofta- 
tnjfiov  wi^wArjv  ravpov.  She  placed  the 
head  of  a  bull  upon  her  own  head,  as 
a  royal  emblem."  Such  al§n  was  the 
tigure  of  the  Minntaurus,  which  I'au- 
saiiius  styles  Tm-poc  tov  Mtiw,  the 
Ball  called  Mino.*  The  most  com- 
mon emblem  of  the  ark,  indeed,  ac- 
cording to  Bryant.t  was  a  lunette, 
called  Meen,  Man,  and  Maoo.  Taking 
all  these  circumstances  into  the  ac- 
count, we  shall  have  little  diffi- 
culty  in  tracing  the  origin  of  "  Deo 

MODOO." 

There  is  no  difficulty  in  arriving  at 
the  origin  of  some  other  local  deities 
inscribed  on  altars  in  the  north  of 
England,  such  as  Des  Setloccnioe, 
Deo  Matuno,  Deo  Marti  Braciacx. 
and  others.  The  real  reading  of  "  Deo 
Setlocenie  "  maj',  however,  be  "  Deae 
Sell  o  ceoix,"  as,  in  Tact,  wc  read  it 
in  another  inscription:  if  so,  the  ori- 
gin of  the  name  aanigntd  to  tt  by  Sir 
Samuel  K.  Meyrick  appears  the  most 
pro1>abIe.  If,  however,  a»  it  is  some- 
limes  copied,  Selloccni»,  I  suppose  it 
nay  refer  to  a  goddess  of  the  Silaceni, 
a  province  of  the  Babvtntuans,  who 
wero  distinguished  woni^tippirs  uf  the 
sun  and  moon,  and  given  to  the  riles 
of  fire. 

"  Jiivi  Dolicheno,"  This  inscription 
has  been  found  in  Monmouthshire, 
and  1  believe  in  some  other  part  of 
Britain.     It  is  supposed  that  this  alior 


was  erected  to  implore  the  protcctioa 
of  Jupiter  to  some  iron  mines.  The 
grounds  of  this  conjecture  are  taken 
from  this  inscription  fuuad  at  Doliche 
in  Macedonia,  "  Jovi  optimo  niftximo>, 
Dulycheno.  ubi  ferrum  na&citur.'^  Bui 
this  conclusion  teems  open  to  muc 
doubt,  as  the  only  re  presentation 
this  god  ever  discovered  resembled 
the  statue  of  a  Roman  warrior,  stand- 
ing upon  a  hull,  below  which  was  an 
eaple  displayed. 

The  bull  has  always  been  regarded 
as  an  emblem  of  the  sou,  and  on  thia 
account  this  altar  has  been  supposed 
to  be  dedicated  to  the  sun.     However, 

1  must  confess  that  the  advocates  ol 
this  opinion  have  not  suggested  any 
satisfactory  etymology  in  corrobora* 
tiun  of  its  probability.  Anotbcrofthi 
British  dt;)ties,  whose  name  is  some- 
times found  on  altars,  is  C'amulue, 
which  is  often  united  with  the  Koman 
Mars,  and  was  worskip[>ed  in  Britain 
as  well  as  some  parts  of  the  Continent. 
We  find  the  Tuscans  acknowledging 
the  same  deity,  whom  tlicy  esteemed 
the  same  as  Mercuiy.  and  not  only 
the  deity  but  the  ministers  and  attend- 
ants hud  the  same  name.  "  Kerum 
omnium  sacranim  administri  CamclU 
dicebaotur."  The  term  Chnmraa  waa 
the  title  of  the  hereditary  prieatesa  of; 
the  sun,  and  the  idols  of  the  sun  ia 

2  Chron.  xxiiv.  4,  arc  called  by  the 
name  Chammim  :  for  it  is  said  of  king 
Josiah  that  they  broke  down  the  altars 
of  Baalim  in  his  presence,  and  the 
Chmuinim  that  were  on  high  above 
them  he  cut  down  ;  and  in  Zephentah 
it  is  said,  "  1  will  cut  olTihe  remnant 
of  Baalim  from  this  place,  and  the 
name  of  the  Chaminim  with  the 
priests." 

Wo  find  the  words  "  Sarau  Deo  "  oi 
some  of  the  altars,  which  have  bceo 
discovered  in  Britain.  This  epithet, 
1  conceive,  la  derivable  from  the  He« 
brew  term  for  the  heavens.  \U 
a^DSf*  The  Canaauites  lifted  np 
tht-tr  hands  to  Baal-Sauen,  Uie  Lord 
of  Heaven. 

We  have  altars  also  dedicated   "J 
O.  M.  Tanaro/'I  also  "Jovi  SerapU'x 
and  "  Aputliol  Granno."  This  last  bu]

it  is  not  posaibie  from  any  knows  bia. 
torical  document,  at  ah  desprring  of 
credit,  to  say  with  certainty,  who  were 
the  first  pruachrra.  or  the  chief  iD8tru> 
ments  of  fouadiag  a  Christian  church 
IB  this  laod. 

Nothing,  however,  can  be  more 
certain  than  that  the  British  church 
was  not  thea  under  any  subjection  to 
the  church  of  Rome;  ina^iniuch  aa,  ia 
the  conlntver»y  about  tlie  time  of  keep- 
ing  Eofcter,  the  Britittb  church  chose 
to  conroim  to  the  practice  of  the 
Eastern  church,  which  was  the  mother 
of  all  other  cburcbes.  The  progress 
of  Christianity  in  Hritaiu,  and  the 
overthrow  uf  a  eystem  of  idolatry  that 
had  tlouriBhed  fur  so  many  ages,  is  a 
subject  too  compreheoslve  to  enter 
upon  in  ibis  place.  Wc  find,  however, 
some  relics  of  heathenism  occaHtunally 
obtruding  themselvus  \a  the  earlier 
ages  into  the  churches  of  Christ. 
Tocy  seemed  to  have  been  betrayed 
into  this  criminal  and  fatal  imitation 
of  their  pagan  predecessors,  by  the 
hopes  of  thereby  facilitating  the  cou- 
version  of  the  heathen.  So  rapid  was 
the  eitco&iuD  of  Christianity  iu  Uritoio 
that  at  the  time  ConAtanlinc  the  Great 
assumed  the  purple.  A.D.  306,  each  of 
the  three  Roroao  provinces  in  Britain 
had  its  episcopal  hood  ;  one  of  these 
wa«  Bishop  of  York  ;  and  during  the 
reign  of  Constantinc  the  Great,  Cbris- 
tiauity  made  progreu  in  Brilain,  for 
the  penecuted  conveKs  came  out  of 
their  lurking  places,  into  which  they 
had  retired  to  escape  the  late  pcrsecu-

but  an  intelligent  irienil  ban  since  in- 
formed  me  that  he  has  read — that  ad- 
joining the  brook  which  runs  on  the

Webb,  were  some  ruins  conjectured  to 
have  been  the  remains  of  a  palace  of 
eomeSaxouor  Danish  prince,  Asirai- 
lar  opinion  prevails  respecting  some 
ruins  in  a  wood  called  Longman's 
Hill,  about  half  a  mile  distant,  and 
thai  they  were  in  some  way  con- 
nected with  the  military  operations  at 
Wcstington  and  RiBbury  camps.  At 
Sutton  \Vall»  it  is  well  known  that 
the  celebrated  OlTa,  King  of  Mcrcia, 
had  a  palace.  I  shall  be  greatly 
obliged,  Mr.  Urban,  if  any  of  your 
correspondents  can  throw  any  addi- 
tional  light  upon  this — to  me — inte- 
resting subject. 

On  this  estate,  near  the  houM, 
BtKoda  a  venerable  oak  tree,  which  is 
sappoecd  to  be  about  300  years  old  ; 
it  measures  twenty-four  feet  round  at 
four  feck  from  the  ground  ■,  but  above 
and  below  that  height  it  is  consider- 
ably larger  :  its  branches  arc  not  large, 
bat  are  still  vigorous. 

At  Risbury.  about  three  miles  north 
west  from  the  pariah  church,  is  an  an- 
cient camp  of  an  oval  form,  which 
Lewis,  in  liia  "Topographical  Dic- 
tionary of  England,"  says  contains 
30  acres  ;  but  ti  may,  probably,  with 
greater  accuracy  be  computed  at  half 
that  extent.  The  interior  is  now  a 
hop-yard  planted  with  young  fruit- 
trees,  lite  ramparts  of  thia  fortress 
were  originally  two,  with  a  fosse  be- 
tween, but  the  inner  one  only  remains 
perfect,  and  is  very  high  and  sleep; 
more  especially  on  the  north  and  wi-st 
sides:  the  entrances  to  it  arc  ou  the 
east  and  west  aides.  The  estate  on 
%hich  it  is  situated,  called  Risbury 
Court,  belongs  to  Daniel  Higford 
Duval  Burr,  Esq.  now  M.  P.  for  the 
city  of  Hereford,  as  a  dL->ccndaot,  by 
the  female  line,  from  the  aniient  family 
of  Scudamorr,  of  Holm  I-acy,  in  the 
same  county,  to  whom  it  formerly  be- 
longed. 


Allow  me,  Mr.  Urban,  in  conclusion, 
to  submit  a  few  queries.  Brno,  in> 
his  compendium  for  Herefordshire,  ia 
your  Magazine  for  July  1817,  p-  13* 
includes  among  its  eminent  natives 
George  Lord  Carpenter  born  at  "  Pit- 
chers Oculc,  160",'*  but  the  author  of 
the  (^ominstcr  Guide,  p.  282.  says  he 
wasbomalthe  Mororoe,  near  Weobiey, 
which  appears  tube  more  probable,  as 
that  manor  and  estate  did,  and  1  be- 
leive  still  do,  belong  to  that  family. 
BvRo  mentions  also  Edward  Long- 
more,  the  "  Herefordshire  Colossus," 
who  died  in  1777.  1  shall  feel  greatly 
obliged  for  any  particulars  relating  to 
cither  of  these  two  persons.  In  your 
memoir  of  William  Havard.  £&q.,  a 
native  of  Hereford,  who  died  in  ISt  1, 
he  is  mentioned  as  being  the  author 
of  a  poem  on  the  River  Lugg.  lo  what 
form  was  it  published  ?

Two     Luvfra'  Hilt.  —  Tlie 
Mooriah   hovva. 
Mn.  UUDAK, 

THE  melancholy  history  of  the  two 
Norman  Lovers  is  pretty  well  known 
io  this  country,  and,  I  believe,  views 
are  engraved  of  the  place  where  it  is 
said  to  have  occurred.  The  follow- 
ing disquisition  contains  the  substance 
of  the  story,  which  the  author  has 
chosen  to  call  in  queslioo.  1  am  not 
sure,  whether  the  subject  has  ever 
found  its  way  into  your  pages,  hut  tbo 
objections  which  accompany  this  ac- 
count of  It  are  probably  new.  The 
extract  is  taken  from  the  Hi»tniredii 
duche  de  Normandie,  by  M.  Goobe, 
a  work  which  has  recently  bscQ., 
brought  under  your  readers'  notice, 
by  some  remarkj  on  the  suppose 
Kingdom  of  Vvetot.

M.  Goube  deserves  but  lillle 
thanks  from  ladyrmd^rii  for  his  AU 
lempt  to  deprive  them  of  «a  affecting 
a  6tory.  The  quc&tion,  howevpr,  in 
not  whether  it  is  intcre&ttiig,  but  whe- 
ther it  IS  true.  And  I  roaress,  with 
due  respect  to  the  historian,  who  has 
evidently  examined  the  subject  closety, 
that  hi»  doubts  do  nut  appear  con- 
cjueivp. 

The  point  on  whtch  the  matter 
turns,  is  whether  the  priory  wa* 
fdunded  in  commemnrntion  of  the 
Two  Loven.  Tradition,  in  preserving 
what  is  truej  is  very  npt  lo  mix  up 
with  it  something  false,  or  to  bteod 
things  together  which  have  no  real 
connexion.  That  there  was  a  prtory 
near  the  spot  will  not  be  disputed  ; 
and,  sin^lar  enough,  it  bore  the  name 
of  the  Two  lAivtra,  which  rather  helps 
to  authenticate  the  story.  For  it  ap- 
pears, that  the  prior  sat  by  that 
name  in  the  provincial  assemblies.  In 
14SS,  when  Charles  eth  held  his 
lit  deJHutice  en  ccAt7ui>r  at  Rouen,  we 
find  amnng  the  deputies,  for  the  baiU 
liagc  of  Rouen,  if  j/rtewr  rfea  Deux 
Amana.f  Can  thtre  be  a  better  proof 
that  the  priory  bore  this  name,  and 
that  the  name  was  familiar  in  the 
(IHecnth  century  i 

Perhaps,  theu,  we  shall  nearly  ar- 
rive at  the  truth,  if  wc  suppose  tliat 
the  plact  was  known  by  this  apinrUa- 
tion.  and  that  the  priory  was  called 
after  the  place  where  it  stood.  It 
may  not  have  been  built  in  conse- 
quence of  the  melancholy  event  whtch 
gave  a  name  to  the  spot  ;  and  this 
supposition  will  account  for  the  cir- 
cumstance having  no  memorial  in  the 
muniments  or  tablets  of  the  monas- 
tery ;  tliougli  tradition  may  have  con- 
founded the  building  with  the  event. 

Ifwc  consider firobabi/i/y,  on  which 
ground  M.  Goube  is  inclined  lu  reject 
the  story,  does  it  amount  to  a  r<^a*on 
for  doing  ««  t  Iniprubabability,  whfn 
it  is  not  aUo  impo^idiiltty,  i*  not  de- 
cisive, or  what  I"  to  iM'C'imK  of  a  (jri-at

Tlie  voung  woman  may  hare  Uicil,

tice the  silence  of  hJAtariaDs  :  but 
what  had  they  to  do  with  eveota,  that 
were  merely  provincial,  or,  at  all

ticity ha»  been  brought  into  question 
by  its  being  wound  up  with  the  fouu- 
datiun  of  the  priory. 

Having  now  related  this  affecting 
tale.  I  prnreed  to  another,  of  a  happier 
character,  taken  from  the  Mauro-Spa- 
Dish  history.  It  is  told,  in  the  "  Hii> 
toirc  de  la  domination  des  Arabes  et 
dcs  Maurcs  en  Espagne."  by  M.  dc 
Marias.  1626.  Tbi%  writer  places  it  la 
the  year  U5t),  when  Muhamad  X.  sat 
DO  the  throne  of  Granada,  and  Henry 
IV.  on  that  of  Caatile.  The  Spaniard, 
whose  generosity  is  here  related,  was 
Ferdinand  Narvacx,  governor  uf  An- 
teqaern. 

**  Oa  the  ere  ofone  of  hU  expetlitiooii,

Hindoo  Pooran  and  Sciences, 


[Sept. 


wriUea  as  if  the  praclicc  of  those 
Asiatic  phystcianst  vrcrc  Ituown  lo  him 
by  books ;  but  he  considered  it  right 
in  their  climate,  whether  be  uodcr- 
stood  it  tu  be  that  of  Indio,  Babyloo, 
or  otherwifltf. 

The  Leflaicafev  is  a  mathematical 
fiidya ;  or,  as  it  is  described  in  the 
Selections,  "  the  book  of  the  science 
of  computation,  by  which  moht  diffi- 
cult questions  of  calculation  and  hard 
aod  intricate  problems  of  numbers  arc 
solved. " 

We  owe  to  the  Iliodoo  algebra  a 
useful  method  of  solving  quadratic 
equation*. 

'i'hc  Jotik  Jiidya,  as  the  Selections 
tell  ufi,  is  the  science  of  the  itara 
iUm-i-nfU^oom) ,  or  astronomy ;  but  \is 
utroDomy,  like  ours  of  the  middle 
ages,  is  debased  with  a^ttrology;  since 
'•  the  reader  of  it  not  only  can  tell  the 
time  of  rising  and  culmination  of  every 
star,  in  every  oi^noCthe  i;odiac«  bat 
the/flicity  and  anfiajt/tinpfB  o/lH^tlea- 
/I'niM  1^  mnit  the  comphtUm  of  tment, 
and  thf;  times  and  rffpctx," — moral 
effects — "of  the  eclipses  of  the  sun 
and  mooo." 

The  SoMOftdrik  Bidya  h  tbo  science 
of  palmistry,  •'  the  render  of  whiih 
can  foretell  lucky  or  unlucky  future 
events  from  the  contemplation  of  the 
lines  of  the  hand,  and  the  wrinkles  of 
the  forehead  ;  fioro  tjic  gait,  and  from 
lines  and  moles  on  different  limbs." 
This  is  exactly  the  RVPtcm  of  prediction 
cultivated  by  our  gipsies,  whether  they 
may  be  of  eastern  origin  or  not. 

The  SAooi-(HiR  Bidya  is  the  tcience 
of  uugury,  "  the  man  skilled  in  which, 
takiog  omens  from  the  voice  of  men, 
birds,  and  beasts,  foretells  true  events 
and  their  is£ues  ;  and  such  augurs  arc 
in  great  repute  (mathoor,  celebrated  or 
htmvn,)  among  the  people  of  India/' 
M  Tlii'y  were  among  the  Uomank  ; 
"Where,  (as  we  are  told  by  Livy,  lib.  i. 

3fi.)  nftrr  the  lime   of  Rm-t-' :-r. 

riit  sarfmioatHjur  augurum  t 

actvftil,  ut  hifiil  f/*-Hi  tUiun;..  .-^^~ 

jiicalo  gurerriur.  Whether  the  augury 
of  Kumc  had  come  from  the  cast,  it 
would  be  difficult  to  decide.  It  is  not 
a  litrl.;  ruliivntt'd  umung  rural  people 
in  I' I  lid  it  may  lie  among  Ibe 

natb  .  %  uf  thf  muid.  lii  pcr- 

plcimg  (^uoLion*  of  futurity,  ami  In 
some  states  of  civilirstiun  a4iJ  coO" 
ilitlou  of  life,  when  it  Igngs  to  be 


wise  in  the  issue  of  actions  beyond  the 
power  of  reason.  There  are  times 
when  the  most  intetligcnland  strongest 
mind,  may  be  at  bo  dead  a  stand  be- 
tween two  equally  eligible  or  ques- 
tionable courses  of  conduct,  that  it 
would  be  glad  to  cct  out  of  its  por- 
plenity.  by  the  tost  of  a  penny  or  the 
fall  of  a  stick. 

The  Soar  Bidya  is  another  omen 
Bidya,  as  "the  undt-rstandcrof  it  can 
tell  the  inquirer  of  his  future  good  and 
evil,  from  the  brmth  of  the  mittril  of 
the  south  wind,  which  comes  and  govs 
every  day  at  a  set  time." 

The  A'jnm  Bidya,  dictated  by  MaAe- 
(£fV<i,i3al3oa  prognostic  Bidya,  equiva- 
lent to  onr  black  art  ofthe  and Jle  ages, 
and  "teaches  its  reader  the  art  of 
memory,  magic,  ai:d  enchantment. 
The  master  of  it  can  stop,  in  an  in- 
&taDt,  whatever  wind  he  will.  The 
world  of  Genii  bow  before  him;  he 
can  make  medicine  fur  the  most  diffi- 
cult diseases,  aod  heal  the  most  severe 
sicknesaes ;  he  can  produce  wealth  and 
good  lurk  to  whom  he  will ;  he  can 
exalt  hia  friends  and  destroy  his  ene- 
mies." 

The  Gaditrno  Bidya  is  the  serpent 
charmer's  science,  "the  knoWer  of 
which  becomes  skilful  in  tlic  charms 
of  snakes  and  scorpiunA.  He  can  take 
away  the  effect  of  their  virulence  when 
excited,  or  cscitc  it  when  mactive.  He 
can  bring  before  him,  by  the  power  of 
a  charm,  wlmtpvcr  simkc  he  will,  and 
tell  hin pffhgrtv." 

The  iihunmk  Bidya  is  the  science  nl 
the  bow  :  and 

The  Hutnn  Puricha  the  science  of 
jewels,  "teachmg  the  nature,  qualities, 
and  testji  of  all  kinds  of  gems.  *l1icrc 
is  not  a  gravel,"  says  the  writer  of  lh« 
Selcri  ions, "  ihi'  prt'duci  l<m  and  quality 
of  which  may  not  be  learnt  from  it. 
and  no  jewel  of  which  it  will  not  tell 
the  Taloe." 

The  Raitovk  Bidya,  or  science  of  ar- 
cliitcclurv,  "  tenches  the  ci)n»lructtiin 
of  public  and  private  buildings  such 
as  gardens,  banks,  canals*  ghat«,  and 
baths." 

The  BnMatVH  Bidya  ia  the  sritnce  dC 
chemistry,  or  rather  our  alchemy  of 
tite  middle  ages,  since,  if  one  learn  tl. 
"  he  can  tuii  only  work  all  kind«  ol

ject  of  the  Hindoo  ocieoces  without 
observing  that  tbcir  astronomy,  de- 
bawd  by  astrology,  like  ours  at  the 
dawu  of  science;  the  alcliemlc  or  gold- 
making  pretensions  of  their  chemistry, 
whicb  13  that  of  our  old  alchiimiits ; 
iheif  palmistry,  that  of  our  gipsies; 
and  their  black  ait,  that  of  our  old 
conjurors,  call  our  attention  to  Asia  u 
the  probable  cradle  uf  ftcience.  or  at 
least  of  those  sciences,  as  well  as  of 
man, 

I  do  not  know  whether  the  Hindoo* 
hold  ihcir  books  of  science  as  iocon- 
trovertibly  authoritative,  and  wholly 
compltte,  su  that  nothing  ought  to  he 
sought,  as  nothing  can  be  known  be- 
yond them  ;  but  i[  tbuy  do,  we  cannut 
wonder  that  they  have  advanced  so 
little  in  science,  since  they  received 
them.  If  Bacon  had  not  dared  to 
break  loose  fiom  the  strong  hold  oi 
Aristotle's  physics ;  if  the  horror  racW 
bad  been  always  to  stand  for  atmos- 
pheric pressure ;  and  Ptolcmy'sepicy- 
clcs  for  the  jienurbations  of  the  cen- 
tral forces  iu  planetary  motion,  physics 
and  astronomy  might  have  advanced 
very  elowly  in  modem  Europe. 

Wc  shall  hardly  have  a  hijitary  of 
science  and  literature,  till  the  treasures 
of  the  Sanscrit  language  are  brought 
til  light.  A  full  account  of  the  Hin- 
doo system  uf  music  by-  agood  Sanscrit

of  changes  being  rung,  is  ancertmin, 
but  as  at  an  early  period  they  wvre 
need  for  domestic  amusfraent,  to 
would  they  uioat  likely  be  for  public 
purposes;  and  that  this  wns  the  case, 
is  •(iiuwii  by  a  p»attcT  of  the  13th  cen- 
tury, in  which  a  lady  is  represented 
{■laying  upon  n  row  of  live  bells,  with 
a  siuaii  hammer  in  one  hand  and  a 
stick,  perhaps  used  at  a  damper,  in 
the  other.* 

Although  not  much  akin  to  the 
subject  (but  who  regards  steppiaii^  a 
little  out  of  bis  path  when  it  is  Shakes- 
peare who  leads  him  away  ?)  it  may 
be  allowable  for  mc  here  to  correct  a 
mifltalic  into  which  Naici  has  £alleji 
in  his  Glossary, — "  clamour  your 
tongues"  has  nothing  to  do  with  the 
clamming  of  bells.  The  true  meaning 
may  be  learnt  from  Harclay's  "  Shipp 
of  Foola,"  in  which  is  a  copy  of 
verses  called,  "  The  Clamour  to  the 
Fools,"  and  is  a  notice  for  them  to  get 
OD  board.  The  mraning  of  the  piu- 
aage  then,  is,  "  Lrt  us  know  that 
you  have  tongues,  and  then  do  not 
disturb  us  with  another  word." 

Yours,  fcc.     L.

arc  spoken  nrServitis  I'ubliiis.) 

1  likewise  thought  that  where  the 
word  ftigDified  »pUHiior,  or  gloria,  it 
could  never  he  followed  by  nn  accusative, 
with  the  proposition  irtpt,  but  only  by 
a  genitive;  but  [  Hnd  niyscir miittnlcen 
— for  Plutarch  has  used  the  word  in 
that  seoie,  with  an  accusative  follow- 
ing the  same  preposition,  in  the  begin* 
ning  of  his  Life  of  Camillus.  And, 
what  ii  more  to  the  purpose.  Poly. 
bios  has  done  the  name.  Lib.  6, 
p.  €79.  So  that  I  begin  to  doubt 
whether  the  passage  in  Josephus 
nughl  not  to  be  rendered  '*  Propter 
Tcinpli  famom  ct  epiendorem."*  For 
it  ia  most  certain  that  Polybius.  whudc 
frngnoent  it  is,  has  never  used  the  word 
€wt<fMutui  for  the  divine  presence,  or 
any  inimculnus  operation,  in  any  part 
of  his  works  which  are  extant ;  and 
he  seeniB,  through  the  whole  course  of 
his  hidtor>',  to  deride  all  miracles. 

However,  I  shall  pronounce  nothing, 
but  leave  it  to  your  better  judgment  to 
determine.  •  *  *

(B*jirr$pntin</  tfip  patwaffe  in  Polybiuaag 
a  valuabh  Irxlimnaff  to  Ute  JewXMh  Jie^ 
iujiun,  and  tuUluuj    some  remarks  on 
that  t\f  Longinus). 

Sir. — You  have  sufScientty  cleared 
up  the  passage  of  I'olybius,  and  dis- 
covered a  jewel  in  the  remains  of  that 
excellent  author  that  outshines  ail 
other  {|uoLatioii9(,  out  bf  Heathen 
writcrfl,  in  the  slendour  of  its  testiino- 
oy  for  the  divinity  of  the  Jewish  reli- 
gion. Vou  ought  to  be  honoured, 
next  to  the  author,  for  restoring  a  lost 
fragment  (&3  it  were)  of  so  great  value  ; 
and  that  the  rather,  because  so  many 
learned  mea  have   mode  diligent  ia- 


qniries  among  the  Gontilcs  for  concur 
rent  testimonies  to  the  amonuensea  ul 
the  revealed  writings  for  the  truth  oi 
what  they  wmte,  and  yet  have  nevpi 
produced Uiis — as  Huetiusand  Stilling' 
fleet  (whom  you  mention),  and  thi 
great  Grotius.  and  all  the  apologists 
for  revealed  religion,  as  well  ancient  at 
modern. 

I  believe  the  <Tri(^nMui  of  Polybius 
was  the  Cloud  of  Glory,  because  that 
kind  of  appearance  was  best  under* 
stood  by  the  Gentiles;  most  of  their] 
Btoifxivtim  being  described  with  tbi 
attendance,  or  mca/iifntm,  of  a  cloud, 
as  in  Homer  and  Virgil,  and  several 
others.  Vou  ver\'  justly  reprehend 
the  blunder  of  joining  together  Itpop 
and 'IffpoiroXi'/Mi ;  though  indeed  it  was 
not  so  much  my  mistake  as  a  learned 
person's  who  altered  my  transUliQOt , 
which  was  this  :  "The  Jews  who  in- 
habited about  the  Holy  City,  called 
Jerusalem,"  &c.  But  1  cannot  excuse 
myself,  since  1  suffered  it. 

If  'Icpao-oXvfia,  in  Heathen  writers. 
is  taken  for  the  Temple,  as  well  as  the 
City  of  Jerusalem,  yours  roust  be  tJie 
true  translation.  I  think  the  word 
rr(io<rfj(npr}ffUM'  may  rather  signify 
"  came  over  to,"  or  "  revolted,"  thau 
"submitted;**  because  the  Jews  had 
submitted  to  one  Prince  before,  but 
now  revolted  to  another  from  that  sub- 
mission. You  conjucture  right,  that 
my  reading  ii  irXrujv  Xrywuf  txoifTts, 

There  is  a  roost  remarkable  passage 
in  Longinus,  lib.  7,  in  honour  of  (he 
i]ebrcw  Lawgiver,  as  that  of  Polybius 
was  of  the  Temple ;  which,  though 
not  omitted  among  the  quotations  of 
some  of  the  famous  apolngiats  for  re- 
vealed religion,  yet  is  but  bligbtly 
touched  upon^  witliuut  ever  observing 
the  character  there  given  of  Moses  to 
be  far  cxccediog  that  of  Homer,  jost 
before  cited,  who  fsays  hcj  stretched 
his  wit  to  moke  gods  of  bis  bemec.

friend  •." 

If,  in  tbc  above  extract,  vujgor  maUffnify  be  at  alt  discernible,  it  U  Dot 
directed  ag&inst  Milton.  He«  us  Johnson  exultingljr  £ays,  perbapa  in  recoU 
leclioii  of  his  own  sumewhnt  similar  position*  was  not  a  man  to  beeoroc 
mean  by  a  mcnn  employment;  tbe  snrcasm  is  directed  against  bis  friends, 
impatient  of  viewing  lum,  in  what  tliey  conceived  a  state  of  degradation  ;  the 
disgrace  of  which  they  hoped  to  palliate,  by  Intimating  that  Milton's  was  not 
9,y*ibUc,  but  a  privnte  ^ichuol. 


"Johnson,  by  tJic  mere  iaiitinct  of  UU 
will  to  Milton,  atruck  U|>on  an  unpleasant 
fact,  wbicb  he  confcrsMrd  he  could  not  sus- 
tain by  any  recorded  proofs.*' 


'*  I  am  ashamed  to  relate  what  I  fear  Is 
true,  that  Milton  was  one  of  the  Uit  stu- 
dents at  ritht'r  UntveniUy  thnt  suffered  the 
public  indignity  of  corporsl  correction.*' 

*'  It  may  be  conjectured  from  tbe  wit- 
Uncnesa  with  whinh  be  has  perpetuated 
the  memory  of  ht«  exile,  that  its  cauM  was 
Bttoh  as  gave  him  no  thaiiM." 

To  the  expressions  "sctirrilous  injustice  to  Milton/'  "dirgraceful  Bio- 
graphy :"  "  ridiculous  as  this  clumsy  invention  is,  Dr.  Johnson  adopts  it, 
anil  adds  with  a  sneer ;"  "  for  the  purpose  of  indulging  a  contemptible 
verbal  criticism ;"  "  a  fact  which  nobody  but  Dr.  Johnson  would  have  de- 
rided i"  "  llippant  eulogy  or  satirical  contempt;"  and  others,  which  the 
writer  delights  in  employing;  I  will  oppose  a  few  of  the  phrases^  by  which 
Miltoa  and  his  works  are  described  by  Dr.  Johnson. 


"  It  appean  hi  all  bis  writings,  tliat  he 
bad  the  OBual  concomitant  of  sreat  abi- 
lity, a  lofty  and  sloady  coufidenco  in 
himself." 

"  Milton  in  ratnm  addressed  him  In  a 
Latin  Poem  which  must  have  rsi*eda  hi^h 
DpinioD  of  EngUab  elegance  and  lito< 
rature.** 

"  In  his  school,  as  in  every  thing  else 
which  he  undertook,  be  laboured  with 
^rcat  diligence." 

"  .Such  la  the  reverence  paid  to  great 
abilitiee,  however  misused;  they  who  eon- 
tcmpUted  iu  Milton,  the  mrhdsr  and  tbe 
wit,  wrro  contented  to  forget  tlw  Rcvller

The  Biogrmpher  tell*  us  that,  ia 
1^50,  CoMCs  was  performed  for  the 
beneiit  of  Milton's  surviving  graad- 
ilaagbter,  and  coldly  adds.  "  the  pro- 
logue for  thii  ocraiion  was  written 
bf  Dr.  JohntoD."  It  woalil  have  been 
generous  (he  upbraids  Jobnsou  with 
being  ungmtrotu),  it  would  h&Tc  been 
courteous  (he  upbraids  Johnson  with 
being  churlish),  it  would  have  been 
manlv,  uoi  to  mutilate  hy  omvuion  the 
praise  which  the  iiyo/ocE  Johnson  de- 
terred npon  this  occasion.  He  laid 
maide  bis  political  enroitj'  in  th«  cause 
of  charity,  and  the  reputation  of  Mil- 
ton. It  was  Johnson  by  whom  the 
proposal  of  a  benefit  was  made  to  Gar- 
rick,  it  was  Johnson  who  published 
ia  the  "  General  Advertiser"  a  letter 
in  support  of  lliis  benefit,  urging  the 
attendance  of  all  who  admired  "  oun 
tutomjrtirahle  Milton  i"  it  was  he  who 
procured  subscriptions  In  aid  of  the 
(liatreased  widow  j  it  was  he  who  by 
every  meaju  in  hia  power  promoted 


this  national  tribute  "  to  llic  per- 
petual  praise  of  the  illustrious  dead." 
"  It  IS  yet,"  says  Johnson,  "iu  thn 
power  of  a  great  people,  to  reward  the 
poet,  whose  name  they  boast,  and 
from  their  alliance  (o  whose  genius 
they  claim  some  kind  of  superiority  to 
e»er)'  other  nation  of  the  earth  ;  tbat 
poet,  whose  works  may  possibly  be 
read,  when  cver>*  other  monument  of 
British  grealnees  shall  be  obliterated  ; 
to  reward  him — not  with  pictures,  or 
with  medals,  which  if  he  sees,  he  sees 
with  contempt,  but  with  tokens  of 
gratitude,  which  he,  perhaps,  may  even 
now  consider  as  not  unworthy  the  re- 
gard of  an  immortal  spirit." 

Johnson  is  charged  with  bigotry, 
with  falsehood,  with  asperity,  with, 
malignity,  and  with  other '  hateful 
passions,— his  good  qualities  have  been 
altogether  muiUalcH  by  onujitou.  If 
mutilation  by  omission  indicates  iu- 
cicdible  malignity,  what  shall  we  say 
of  this  ? 

O  Bigotry,  Bigotry,  bow  little  do 
those  who  rail  against  Uiee  look  at

And  as  the  bard  of  high  achievements  sung. 

And  knightly  deeds,  a  favouring  smile  he  lent 

Upon  that  poet's  gentle  instrument. 

And  on  its  faSr)'  melodies  still  hung 

Detain'd  ;  "  With  thy  sweit  harp  and  Rosalind 

Live  thou  content ;"  but  lo  I  before  the  wind

To  him  descending  down  the  Tale  of  years. 
With  many  friends  he  cherished,  faithless  found  ; 
And  cares  of  this  hard  world  that  cumber  round 
Oar  toilsome  life,  still  blinded  with  the  tears 
Of  opening  youth,  or  manhood's  cruel  fears. 
Which,  like  the  vulture's  angry  talons,  wound 
The  afflicted  heart.    How  sweet  on  other  ground 
*      To  tread,  that  in  enchanted  light  appears

Led  by  the  Muses'  hand,  'tis  his  to  see 
Sweet  forms  of  virtuous  love,  and  tender  ruth. 
That  never  may  on^earth  divided  be ; 
And  many  a  high  heroic  thought  of  truth. 

Sung  in  immortal  strains  of  poesy.

Dcben !  no  cloud-capped  mountains  grace 
The  spot,  where  with  a  stealthy  pace 

Thy  tiny  spring  creeps  out. 
No  sturdy  rocks  arrest  thy  course. 
Making  thee  leap  with  joyous  force, 

A  glittering  thing  of  mirth. 
No  awful  shades  of  forests  brown 
Darken  thy  waves,  nor  near  thee  frown. 

Drear  caves  or  sullen  cr^s. 
But  through  a  tame  and  lowly  vale 
Thou  wandrest,  with  thy  current  pale, 

"  Working  thine  own  sweet  will." 
Ihe  dark  green  alders  by  thy  side. 
The  rustic  bridge,  the  goldea  pride 

Of  lUlyud  bright  aedge.

TO  MIRA. 

I  know  fif  one,  who  loves  pale  Autumn  best, 
Piercing  the  sober  mantle  of  the  sky, 
And  the  light  mists  that  o'er  the  vallies  He 
Above  this  summer  time  :  her  eye  will  re«t 
On  the  grey  cUmatis*  dishevelled  flower 
With  more  delight  than  on  the  fairest  bower 
With  July  rosea  deck'd.    The  carol  clear 
Of  Skylark,  chanting  with  impassioned  breast, 
To  the  home-keeping  mate  of  his  ground  nest. 
The  fttory  of  his  cnterprize  on  high ; 
Falls  not  with  such  sweet  cadence  on  her  ear. 
As,  when  the  sunset  pours  about  the  west 
IXa  flood  of  glory,  doth  the  ruddock's  song. 
The  evening  winds  and  scattering  leaves  among. 
Dawning  the  approach  of  winter ;  and  the  year 
Still,  as  it  wanes,  to  ber  becomes  more  dear. 
Oh,  my  own  Mira,  how  supremely  blest 
Were  I,  who  sUctchcd  the  mossy  bonk  along 
Of  the  bright  stream  that  ever  murmur»her«. 
Carves  on  the  alder  tree  this  rugged  lino. 
If  with  accordant  tenderness  imprest 
Tby  love  thus  kindlcit,  as  my  days  decline. 
Till  it  attained  the  fervency  of  mine.

The  majority  of  those  who  oppugned

if  it  could  havu  ofrccted  the  r|Qcstton,

liis  very  apparent  dtd^atisfaction  wUli 
the  Court,  and  "  all  the  men  and  wo. 
men  in  it." 

It  ia  rthvious  that  his  pedigice  was 
luile  good  enough  for  an  historian, 
and  his  long  family  connexion  with 
the  Itoyal  Household  must  have  given

the  characters  uf  the  Monarch  and 
those  about  him.  Whether  he  wa.i 
a  man  of  a  cynical  dispoMtion,  or  woa 
instigoted  by  disappointment,  wc  bare 
no  evidence,  but  the  first  we  licar  of 
him  is  in  his  character  of  satirist.  He 
accompanied  James  into  Scotland,  in 
1C17.  and  there  composed  n  free  and 
by  uo  means  panegyrical  description 
of  his  Sovereign's  native  country,  nnd 
the  habits  and  manners  of  his  coun- 
trymen.t  By  a  strange  accident  the 
libel  fell  into  the  hands  of  the 
Monarch,  and  the  result  was,  that  its 
Author  was  dismissed,  but  with  a  pen- 
sion. Having  thus  become  practi- 
cally acquainted  with  llic  |Kiwcr  ofhtB 
pen,  he  employed  lii!i  unwelcome  lei* 
sure  in  celebrating  the  disprai-'te^  of 
the  Court  from  which  he  had  been  ex- 
iled ;  but  a  love  of  his  pension,  or  some 
other  prudential  reason,  kept  back  the 
book  from  the  press,  lu  the  mcnn- 
timc  James  waasQCcecdcd  by  Charles, 
and  the  latter  by  the  Commonwealth, 
The  friends  of  the  new  state  of  things 
found  it  nocrssary  to  kcfp  alive  the 
animosity  of  the  pt-nple  against  the 
dethroned  fnmily,  and,  with  that 
view.  Sir  Anthony's  hook  wa»  drawn 
from  its  conceulmeiil  nnd  "^  published

side  with  this  bloody  houac  [of  Stuart]* 
lest  they  be  foand  opposers  of  God'& 
purpose,  which  doubttetie  is  to  lay 
aside  that  Family  and  to  make  it  an 
example  to  nofttoritv."  'Hie  author 
died  before  the  publtratton.  which  ia 
stated  to  have  been  ivitbuut  the  coo- 
seat  of  his  representatives  ;  bat,  if  so, 
any  scruples  which  they  had  were  soon 
overcome,  for,  in  the  year  fnllowing, 
llicre  came  forth  a  second  edition  wttli 
some  additional  ubscrvatiuns.  said  to 
be  written  by  the  same  author,  upon 
the  Sovereign  rceeully  deceased.  If 
ihis  were  the  fact,  these  obser»atioo5 
rou«t  have  been  amongst  the  last  ef- 
forts of  his  pen,  and  probably  were 
found  amongst  his  papers.  At  any 
event,  they  could  not  nave  formed  part 
of  the  MS.  lent  by  him  several  years 
before. 

The  book  written  under  such  feel- 
ings, published  under  such  circum- 
stances, and  probably,  as  we  think 
we  could  shew,  intcr|)olated,  i«  a  string 
of  shaip,  snarling,  nrerfttraineil,  mali- 
cinua  nbservatinns  upon  Jame^  I.  and 
the  prominent  pcritons  of  hia  Court. 
Manyof  them  were,  nodoubt,  extremely 
discreditable  jwrsons.  men  whom  it 
would  have  licen  impossible  not  to 
censure  ;  but  Racon,  Coke,  Archbishop 
Williams.  Lord  Salisbury,  and  others, 
possesaed  great  qualities  w^hich  more 
than  countcrbalanred  nil  their  failings. 
Wcldon  viewed  their  llttlcncBfiefl  vilih 
a  microscopic  eye,  but  was  blind  to 
those  eminent  properties,  the  lustre  of 
which  dazzles  aUrocnwho  now  regard 
them.  Surely  it  is  cot  too  much  to  say 
of  such  a  book,  that  by  its  statements 
a/owe  DO  man's  character  or  conduct 
ought  (o  be  judgeiL  Sovereigns  and 
sabjects  have  alike  the  right  of  being 
tried  by  the  testimony  of  unbiassed 
witnesaef  ;  and  Wcldon,  whether  from 
ft  natural  infirmity  uf  di^mMilion,  or 
from  the  influence  of  what  he  esteemed 
to  bc"hftrd  usage."  wrote  with  a  pal-

tory of  the  Life  and  Iteign  of  King

diced as  every  bodymu&tallow  Weldon 
to  have  been,  Siinderson  was  not  Irsa 
so,  but  on  the  opposite  aide;  and,  if 
thev  were  upon  an  equality  as  to  pre- 
judice, the  superiority  ta  talent  was 
certainty  with  Weldon.  It  is  not  sur- 
prising therefore  that  Sanderson's  book 
made  but  Utttc  impression. 

Tlie  first  volume  of  the  work  before 
U8 — the  part,  that  rs,  which  proceeds 
from  the  pen  of  Bishop  (loodman, — is 
another  answer  to  Weldon,  written 
apparently  about  the  same  time  oa 
Sanderson's,  and  probably  not  then 
published,  because  that  author  was 
first  in  the  press.  Ftii^hop  Goodman's 
book  has  beenlongknowntnetistinMS. 
in  the  Bodleian,  but  attention  has  been 
divertetl  from  it  by  a  remark  of  An- 
thony Wood,  that  much  of  it  was 
published  in  the  Aulitnit  Coqninaritt. 
This,  as  now  api>eBrs.  is  a  mistake. 
The  two  books  are  quite  distinct ;  the 
Bishop's  being  nothing  more  than  a 
rnnning  commentary  upon  Weldon'a 
book,  with  'uch  digressions  as  arose 
out  of  the  subject.  This  fact  is  not  act

parties  iotemted  io  it  to  make.  The 
book  itself  would  have  been  much  im- 
proved by  more  open  refereoccj  tu  the 
work  to  which  it  i:iaii  answer;  indeed 
the  proper  way  woold  have  been  to 
have  repablisb^  Weldon  with  Bishop 
Goodman's  reply  appended. 

All  that  appears  in  the  work  respect- 
ing Bishop  Croodman  himself^  or  iilas- 
tratiTc  ofhis  character,  is  quite  in  ac- 
cordance with  what  has  hitherto  been 
known  of  him.  A  benevolent  easy 
man;  a  Bishop  of  the  Reformed  Church, 
and  yet  holding  tenets  which  veiled 
upon  Popery ;  charitable  in  the  extreme 
io  his  judgments  upon  others,  and  full 
of  devotion  for  the  memory  of  his  "  old 
master  "  King  James,  of  whom  he  re- 
marks,— "  although  I  say  it,  and  few 
know  it,  he  would  have  hearkened 
unto  me  as  soon  as  to  another  man." 
(i.  209.) 

One  could  not  expect  of  an  old 
gentleman,  whose  memorynas  haunted 
by  such  a  proof  of  the  royal  par- 
tiality for  himself,  as  that  we  have 
just  quoted  (and  Uiat  the  partiality, 
be  it  remembered,  of  a  monarch  dis- 
tinguished by  the  selection  of  band- 
some  youths  OS  his  favourites),  we  say 
we  could  not  expect,  that  such  an  old 
gentleman  would  make  a  very  satis- 
factory reply  to  the  shrewd,  caustic, 
bitter  Weldon,  nor  indeed  do  we  find 
that  he  has  thrown  much  additional 
light  upon  any  of  the  vtxata  qnettionea 
of  the  reign  of  James  I. ;  but  still  his 
book  is  occasionally  very  pleasing. 
Here  are  in  it  a  good  many  amusing 
anecdotes,  told  in  a  very  innocent  man- 
ner ;  nobody  is  spoken  ill  of — except 
the  lawyers  ;  one  story  calls  op  ano- 
ther, and  amongst  them  we  occasion- 
ally get  curious  and  valuable  glimpses 
of  the  state  of  things  in  Church  and 
State,  in  court  and  country,  from  the 
reign  of  Elizabeth  downwards.  We 
select  a  few  of  them  as  specimens. 

In  the  coune  of  a  comparison  be- 
tween the  courage  of  Queen  Elizabeth 
and  her  successor,  we  find  the  follow- 
ing: 

"  In  the  year  '88, 1  did  then  live  at  the 
upper  end  ot  the  Strand,  near  St.  Cle- 
ment's Church,  whensoddenlythere  come 
a  report  mtto  ni  (it  was  in  December, 
much  about  five  Af  the  clock  at  night,

loTing  prince ;'  and  to  lookine  one  upon 
another  awhile  the  Queen  dejtarted.  This 
wrought  such  an  impression  upon  us, 
for  shows  and  paj^ants  are  ever  best  seen 
by  torch-light,  that  aU  the  way  long  we 
did  nothing  but  talk  what  an  admirable 
Queenshe  was,  and  how  we  would  adven- 
ture our  lives  to  do  her  service.  Now 
this  was  in  a  year  when  she  bad  most 
enemies,  and  how  easily  might  they  have 
then  gotten  into  the  crowd  and  maltitude 
to  have  done  her  a  mischief!" — (i.  163.) 

The  Bishop  settles  the  question  of 
Prince  Henry's  death  in  the  following 
manner : 

"  That  Prince  Henry  died  not  without 
vehement  suspicion  of  poison,  this  I  can 
say  of  my  own  knowledge.  The  King's 
custom  was  to  make  on  end  of  his  hunting 
at  his  bouse  in  Havering,  in  Essex,  either 
at  the  beginning  or  in  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember. Prince  Henry  did  then  accom- 
pany  him.  I  was  beneficed  in  the  next 
parish,  at  Stapleford  Abbot's.  Manyt^ 
our  brethren,  the  neighbour  ministen, 
came  to  hear  the  sermon  before  the  King, 
and  some  of  us  did  say,  looking  upon 
Prince  Henry,  and  finding  that  his  coun- 
tenance was  not  so  cheerful  as  it  was 
wont  to  be,  but  had  heavy  darkish  looks, 
with  a  kind  of  mixture  of  melancholy  and 
cholcr, — some  of  us  did  then  say  that  cer- 
tainly he  hod  some  great  distemper  in  his 
body ;  nhichwetboughtmiglit  proccedfrom 
eating  of  raw  fruit,  peaches,  musk-melons, 
&c.  A  while  after  we  heard  that  he  was 
sick,  his  physicians  about  him  ;  none  of 
his  servants  forbidden  to  come  to  him ; 
he  spake  to  them  when  he  knew  that  he 
was  past  hopes  of  life :  he  had  no  suspi- 
cion himself  of  poison  ;  he  blamed  no 
man ;  he  made  a  comfortable  eud.  And 
when  he  was  upcocd,  as  I  heard,  there  were 
found  in  his  stomach  some  remnants  of 
grapes  which  were  not  digested.  The 
chirurgeons  and  physicians  found  no  sign 
or  likelihood  of  poison." — (l.!248.)

"  A  merry  pnsunge  bclwern  the  Kiog

Gondomu-,  as  all  the  world  knows, 
roold  do  many  things  besides  apeak 
false  Latin;  the  following  is  one  of 
thf  feats  by  which  he  gained  his  mas- 
ter's ends  at  the  venal  and  Bclltsh 
court  of  King  Jatncs. 

"  1  won  onrc  at  dinnnr  with  the  Mar-

M'nt  him  a  S|>iini3h  olioi  a  ]tie  coimiatioK

did  eat  bnron,  phi-ii5mit,  partridge,  cho&t- 
nut»,  |wase,  and  many  other  things  that 
were  there."— (i.  104.) 

In  another  place  the  Bi:ibop  relates 
of  Gondomar  that  he  was— 

"A  very  iwwcrful  miui  in  the  EnghuU 
court,  fur,  ui^idvK  hU  i'^linordiniiry  abi-

llic  unseemly  conduct  of  the  Scotch 
who  accumpautcd  the  King  into  Kn-

"  When  he  [Sir  Lionel  CrJiafieldJ

thnC  dinner  was  Upon  Ihc  tnbic  .  Btill  the 
King  I)ad  buaineaa  to  eoufer  with  iiiy  lord 
and  came  not.  The  gcntleroca  came

(ohl  the  King  that  he  ilid  wiah  that  thry

Uia  ci>tatt'e ;  they  had  culled  out  all  the 
bcjit  things  and  left  hiui  to  liie  upon  pro-

of  his  icveraion  ;  so  much  wu  the  King 
taken  with  that  conceit."— (1.311.) 

In  another  place  wc  lind  it  said  thai 
the  King  remarked  to  uuc  of  his  jfcr- 
scculorSj — 

"  You  will  never  tot  mcaJanc.  J  mould

The  lawyers  are  laDur  roughly 
handled,  mure  bo  thoa  any  body  bl»o, 
by  our  Bishop.  His  obscrvationr, 
besides  giving  a  picture  of  the  times

interest. 

If  we  were  to  oflfer  a  conjecture  as 
to  whom  these  sepulchres  were  raised, 
we  should  be  inclined  to  appropriate 
them  to  persona  of  rank  and  high 
official  station,  probably  to  the  Kcguli 
of  the  Icenian  Province  under  llie

On  t/ie  Antiquity  nf  the  Lark  Canal 
of  Exeter:  in  a  letter  from  Huhp 
Chilwell  de  la  Garde,  Esq. 

This  paper  i«  curious  in  relation  to 
the  tKicnce  of  the  civil  engineer.  So 
early  as  the  reign  of  Kdward  the 
Firat,  it  Bppeors  that  the  I-ady  Isabella 
(Ic  Fortihus,  Countess  of  Aumerle  and 
Iloldernesse,  of  the  Ulc  of  Wight  and 
of  Devon,  owned  the  villago  nu<I  port 
of  Topaham  and  lands  on  both  sides 
of  the  river  Exc,  on  which  she  caused 
a  Weir  to  be  erected,  known  by  the 
name  of  Countess  Weir,  which  ob- 
structed tlio  navigation  nf  the  river,  to 
the  great  prejudice  of  the  Kxonians  ; 
the  encroachment  being  mointaincd  by 
her  successors,  l)ecame  the  subject  of 
various  presentments  by  jury  of  inqui- 
sition before  the  cscheators  of  the 
Crown.  In  1563,  an  agreement  was 
mode  by  t^e  citizens  of  Exeter  with 
John  Tiew,  for  riiakinR  the  haven  of 
the  Kxe  navigable  to  the  city  for  ves- 
sels of  ten  tons  burthen.  This  ho 
elTected  by  cutting  a  canal,  and  con- 
Btructiui;  Inch  on  the  west  side  of  the 
Kxc.  These  lock*  were  of  the  most 
spacious  deficription ;  and  the  whole 
work  was  so  far  flucce»6rul,  that  ves- 
sels of  15  or  IG  tons  were  at  full  tifles 
discharged  at  the  quay  and  bridge  of 
i^xeter.  This  canal  has  subsequently 
been  extended  and  improved  ;  the  last 
alteration  was  in  1 8*29.  The  main 
design  and  execution  of  the  work  be- 
longs, however,  to  the  iClh  century* 
and  >a  a  proof  that  two  hundred  and 
fifty  years  pa<t  the  hydraulic  principle 
of  locks  wad  known  to  our  ancestors.

Wc  concur  with  Mr.  Soiith  and  Sir

of  the  Iccnion  Biitonfi,  when  they 
sacked  the  Augu6tan  colony  under

Christianity  did  not  become  the  ac-

bably Larfs,  or  huiiM-hold  gud«»  of  a

It  id  our  opinion  that  the  popular  and 
accepted  vcrtion  of  the  mo&t  remarka- 
ble posAagca  of  history  is  generally  not 
far  from  the  correct  one ;  for,  what- 
ever attempts  may  have  been  made  to 
suppress  the  truth,  or  to  tn'islcod  the 
public  opinion,  at  the  precise  period 
of  action,  yet  before  the  close  of  the 
generation,  and  ere  all  the  actors  ftod 
witne&aes  have  passed  otf  from  this 
mortal  scene,  the  chances  arc  "  that 
the  truth  will  out,"  and  a  public  sen- 
timent not  very  dialant  from  it  will 
prevail,  correct  ^in  the  main,  as  to  the 
motives  and  conduct  uf  individuals,  if 
nut  in  every  particular  fact.  It  id  a  bold 
task,  in  any  caae,  to  attempt  to  over- 
throw, or  rather  to  supplant  historic*! 
troditionsby  mere  hypotheses.  The  at- 
tcmptd  at  whitc-waohing  Uichard  the 
Third  have  Wen  about  as  &nccc»bfut  oa 
those  fur  getting  op  an  apoUu-osia  of

clares himself  n  decided  parti2.an  of 
the  old,  but  nuw  almost  exploded  aa- 
scrtion.  that  Uichard  was  aA*!3s.-Inatcd

that  Rlchatd  died  or  voluntary  ftb&ti* 
iictice.  or  ihnl  of  Mr.  Webb,  that  he 
loHt  hh  life-  Uy  L-ampulanry  starvation. 
Mr.  Tyllcr's  version  thai  lit-  cscajKiI 
niiJ  Aurvivcil  as  u  dciiciidiiit  oti  tbc 
bounty  itfthc  Scultiah  L'mirt,  is  much 
mure  cQftily  refuted  ;  for  Mr,  Dillon 
shews  that  at  the  very  period  when  the 
reports  of  Richard  being  alive  were 
KtrongCbt,  an  inquiry  was  i^et  on  foot 
by  the  King  of  France,  with  the  view- 
to  ascertain  tlie  fact,  and  this  in(|uin\ 
although  conducted  by  one  who  knew 
Richard  well,  and  who  believed  him- 
self in  the  reports,  ended  in  disap- 
putnlment. 

The  person  entrusted  with  this  mis- 
aioD  was  John  Creton,  valet  de  cham- 
hrc  of  Charles  the  Sixth.  King  of 
France,  who.  in  an  epiatle  written  to 
the  Bukc  of  Burgundy,  about  the  year 
UOS.  distinctly  and  emphatically  de- 
clares not  only  that  Hichard  was  dead, 
but  t)utt  his  blood  was  shed  in  a  vio- 
lent and  cruel  manner.

Tlie  opinion  that  Richard  died  of 
starvation  was  not  unknown.  Mr. 
Dillon  says,  in  France,  although  no 
one  partook  of  it.  A  MS.  iu  the 
Royal  Library  of  France  has  the  fol- 
lowing passage  : — "  Pour  cuuvrir  la 
tiByson  dc  cculx  d'Aogleterre  leur

die,  spoken  by  the  stern  British  chief  in 
his  cluunt,  these  chains  the  magnaDiinotis 
emperor  ordered  to  be  cast  at  his  feet. 
And  who  can  think,  but  at  that  interesting 
moment,  when  the  itcrn  British  chief 
vUo  had  defied  for  nine  years  the  disci- 
plined legions  of  the  invader  stood  before 
the  throne  of  the  Conqueror,  that  Clau- 
ditu,  BO  exdlted  by  his  magnanimity  and 
clemency,  or  Agrippina,  might  have  taken 
pity,  struck  perhaps  by  the  child's  inno- 
cence and  brauty  in  such  a  scene,  and 
Claudius  might  uien  have  adopted  her, 
and  given  that  name  which  a  holy  histo- 
rian and  more  eloquent  than  Tacitus  has 
made  immortal ;  and  bow  much  must  the 
interest  increase,  if  wc  think  that  through 
her,  like  another  Una,  not  fictitious,  the 
rage  of  the  lion,  '  from  whose  mouth 
Paul  was  delivered,'  became  calm  at  the 
voice  of  innocence,  and  a  British-bom 
virgin.*' 

We  are  aware  that  wc  have  given 
Mr.  Bowles's  argument  in  an  abridged 
and  rather  imperfect  form ;  and  wc 
therefore  more  strongly  recommend  our 
readers  to  turn  to  the  original  treatise, 
which  is  written  with  accuracy  of  ar- 
gument, and  elegance  of  style,  and  is 
a  very  interesting  piece  of  classical  cri- 
ticism, brought  to  illustrate  an  histo- 
rical fact  mentioned  in  the  scriptures ; 
and  so  we  bid  our  reverend  friend  the 
author  farewell :

CataJogi  Vtttrt*  Librorun  Ecclmte 
CathedraH$  Dtmelm, — Catalogues  of 
the  Library  of  Durham  Cathedral,  at 
various  ptriodt,  from  the  Conquest  to 
the  Dissolution,  SfC.  8vo.  (Published 
by  the  Surtces  Society.) 

WE  have  now  had  frequent  occasion 
to  remark  with  how  much  judgment 
the  publications  of  the  Surtces  Society 
arc  selected,  and  how  successfully 
they  have  been  made  to  combine  gene- 
ral interest,  together  with  that  degree 
of  local  connection  which  the  laws 
and  character  of  the  society  prescribed. 
In  this  respect,  the  present  volume  is 
nothing  inferior  to  its  predecessors : 
and  we  look  forward  with  more  than 
common  interest  to  the  two  works  for 
the  present  year,  the  Anglo-Saxon 
Ritual  and  Jordan  Fantosme,  which 
are  promttcd  in  September.  There 
are  Kw  more  valuable  documents  for 


the  illustration  of  the  Litcrnry  IJistpr}' 
of  the  roiddlc-ages,  ihan  the  original 
catalogues  of  the  ancient  monastic 
libraries,  of  which  several  still  remain, 
scattered  here  and  there  among  the 
books  or  muniments  which  belonged 
to  the  monasteries  in  which  those 
libraries  were  preserved.  These  cata- 
logues not  only  furnibh  us  with  names 
of  authors  and  works  which  were  not 
previously  known ;  but,  taken  as  a 
whole,  they  give  us  a  general  view  of 
the  course  of  reading  and  study  pur- 
sued by  our  early  forefathers,  which 
we  could  obtain  nowhere  else.  The 
first  who  did  much  towards  showing 
the  utility  of  such  documents  in  this 
latter  point  of  view,  was  Warton,  in 
his  History  of  English  Poetry;  and 
public  attention  has  since  been  more 
eflectually  called  to  them  by  Mr.  Hun- 
ter, in  his  Tract  on  the  English  Mo- 
nastic Libraries.  We  hope  that  this 
publication  of  the  Surtces  Society  will 
be  the  precursor  of  other  similar 
works  ;  and  wc  are  especially  glad  to 
hear  that  Mr.  Halliwell  has  the  inten- 
tion of  publishing  the  detailed  and 
valuable  catalogue  of  the  Library  of 
old  Monastery  of  Sion. 

The  volume  to  which  it  is  our  object 
to  call  the  attention  of  our  readers  at 
present,  contains  several  such  cata- 
logues of  the  old  Library  of  Durham 
Cathedral  made  at  dilTercnt  periods. 
The  first  is  a  very  early  catalogue  of 
this  collection  ;  although  wc  think  it 
is  hardly  so  old  as  the  age  here  given 
to  it,  viz.  the  ear/fVi*  part  of  the  twelfth 
century.  The  bulk  of  the  volume 
consists,  however,  of  two  extensive 
catalogues  made  at  much  later  dates, 
though  still  dates  at  which  such  pro- 
ductions arc  exceedingly  rare,  viz.  1391 
and  141C.  The  rest  of  the  book  con- 
sists of  lists  of  books  sent  on  different 
occasions  by  the  Durham  monks  to 
Oxford,  &c.  with  n  few  miscellaneous 
documents  relating  to  the  Durham 
library,  and  some  account  of  such  of 
these  bookb  as  arc  sLilI  preserved. 
Wc  may  observe  that  the  whole  is 
preceded  by  a  long  introduction,  in 
which  Uie  editor  (Ileriah  Ootficld,  Esq. 
F.R.S.  and  F.S.A.)  has  collected  much 
misceltancoua  information  on  the  sub- 
ject of  ancient  books  and  libraries. 

Many  questions  are  raised  by  these 
catalogues  which  wc  would  willingly

ductus,  were  It  not  that  they  require 
ftomcwhat  longer  researclies  thati  we 
have  now  the  leisure  to  enter  upon. 
We  think  that  the  long  cntnloi^ups  of 
1391  find  1  U6  nre  far  fnitn  proving, 
as  has  been  naid,  the  literary  taste  of 
the  monks  of  Dutham.  Go  the  con- 
trary, ihe^e  monks  appear  lo  liave 
been  rmptijytHJ  from  year  to  year  in 
the  mechanical  labour  of  producing 
copies  of  part  of  the  scriptures,  of  the 
vorks  of  some  of  the  fathers,  and  of 
the  heavy  scholastic  theologians  and 
dialectitians.  The  mixture  uf  tighter, 
or  even  of  historical  and  scienliiic 
reading,  is  comparatively  very  email. 
The  class  of  history  is  confined  to  & 
few  copies  of  Dcde,  with  a  book  or 
two  of  Giraidus,  and  some  works 
which  from  their  local  nature,  or  par- 
ticular character,  the  Library  of  Dur- 
ham could  scarcely  be  without.  In 
this  respect  they  form  a  remarkable 
contrast  to  the  earlier  catalogue  oftlic 
twelfth  century,  where  a  very  large 
portion  of  the  books  in  the  library 
consiits  of  classical  writers,  of  scien- 
tific books,  particularly  medical  oud 
mathematical,  of  poetry,  of  grammar, 
and  of  works  of  a  miscellaneous  cha- 
racter. From  the  manner  in  which 
they  are  catalogued,  and  from  what 
we  know  from  tJie  contents  of  earlier 
manuscripts,  it  is  probable  that  many 
of  the  volumes  pointed  out  in  this 
catalogue  contained  a  variety  of  tracts 
of  a  miftccUaocons  character  which 
arc  nut  mentioned  in  the  li^t. 

An  interesting  article  in  this  earl«er 
catalogue  are  the  Anglo-&a\ua  books, 
which  arc  thus  enumerated  . —

The  two  first  articles  in  this  list 
were  probably  copie*  of  the  Anglo-

chronicle  were  written  In  the  southern 
or  midland  counties:  and  these  might 
poKsibly  have  contained  some  nirious 
nolires  relating  to  events  which  oc- 
curre.l  in  llie  north. 

Few  of  the  books  indicated  in  this 
earlier  catalogue  make  their  appear, 
ancc  in  tho&e  of  a  later  date :  and  wc 
are  naturally  led  to  oak  the  question, 
what  became  of  them  ?  It  is  not  im- 
probable that  many  of  them  were  sold. 
Others  were  perhaps  exchanged  for 
books  that  were  more  interesting  to 
the  succeasors  of  those  who  had  col. 
Iccted  them  together,  and  for  new 
books  that  might  serve  for  models  to 
future  copyists.  Wo'fcarwc  must  add, 
that  many  were  erased  to  supply  rrlluni 
to  (he  copyist,  or  cut  up  to  furnish 
materials  to  t)ie  monastic  binder  i  nnU 
we  would  bU^gest  that,  as  many  of 
the  manuscripts  now  preserved  in  the 
library  Becm  to  be  in  their  Dri);iiial 
bindiugfl,  it  would  he  well  to  examine 
the  coustmction  of  their  covers.  Even 
a  few  leaves  of  a  Saxon  chronicle,  or 
of  "  Elfledea  hoc,"  would  be  a  iliacovery 
not  to  be  despised. 

When  we  examine  these  inonaallc 
catalogues,  there  is  one  reflection  which 
never  fails  to  present  itself  to  our 
minds  : — how  does  it  happen  that  the 
books  enumerated  are,  with  averj-few 
exceptions,  of  this  heavy  theological 
description,  whilst  among  the  mass  uf 
manuscripts  which  are  now  prcservetl 
in  our  public  collections  there  is  such 
a  large  proportion  of  light  and  gay 
literature  ?  We  thiok  ihiit  this  cir- 
cumstance proves  beyond  a  doubt  the 
rashness  of  the  assertions  which  have 
commoolv  been  made,  that  in  the  mid  - 
die  ages  the  monasteries  alone  were  thn 
asylums  of  literarare.  We  might 
ea«ily  follow  up  this  observation  tu  a 
much  greater  length  than  our  Bpac«

collection  of  which  we  Ijave  juat  spo- 
keo,  where  they  were  kept  entirely 
separate,  and  not  mixed  with  the  old 
library.  The  old  fond$  are  full  of  lite- 
rary riches  of  every  description ;  but 
when  we  look  over  the  monastic  cata- 
logues, ihe/onda  de  St.  Victor,  &c.  we 
find  that  most  of  them  bear  a  close 
resemblance  to  the  later  of  the  Durham 
catalogues,  and  nine  nut  of  ten  of  the 
books  which  they  contain  might  be 
destroyed  witboutany  loss  to  lit«rature 
or  to  history. 

In  earlier  times,  that  is,  up  to  the 
thirteenth  century,  the  monasteries 
were  often  the  residence  of  those  who 
entered  the  monastic  life  with  the  ob- 
ject of  enjoying  what  we  now  term 
literary  retirement,  and  such  men 
formed  their  own  private  libraries,  the 
contents  of  which  were  regulated  by 
the  peculiar  taste  of  each.  When  such 
men  died,  their  books,  or  a  part  of 
them,  were  not  unfrequently  added  to 
the  library  of  the  house  in  which  they 
had  lived.  We  have  traces  of  this  in 
the  earlier  catalogaes  of  the  library  of 
Durham,  in  which  are  enumerated  the 
books  of  Gnarin,  who  seems  to  have 
been  attached  to  poetry  and  grammar, 
and  who  possessed  copies  of  Terence, 
Horace,  Juvenal,  Donatus,  Priscian, 
Virgil,  Marciauus,  Capella,  Ovid.  Boe- 
thius,  &c. ;  those  of  KegiDald,  of  Lau- 
rence  the  Prior,  of  William  of  Nunne- 
wic,  of  Thomas  the  Prior,  &c. 
Master  Herbert  the  physician  gave  also 
to  the  library  a  handsome  collection  of 
medical  books.  We  may  observe,  as 
one  instance  that  proves  the  error 
about  the  date  of  this  catalogue,  that 
Laurence  the  Prior  was  clearly  the 
famous  poet  of  that  name,  and  that 
William  of  Nunnewic  possessed  a  vo- 
lume of  his  poetry;  in  all  probability 
therefore,  to  judge  only  by  this  instance, 
the  catalogue  was  made  at  least  several 
years  after  Laurence's  death.  Now 
the  earliest  date  fixed  for  this  last  event 
is  1160,  therefore  we  can  hardly  sup- 
pose  the  catalogue  to  have  been  made 
before  the  latter  end  (instead  of  the 
earlier  part)  of  the  twelfth  century. 

The  nature  of  a  volume  like  the 
present  renders  it  difficult  to  make  ex- 
tracts from  it,  or  even,  within  our 
space,  to  make  a  series  of  detached 
obserratioos.  The  introduction  pre- 
sents mach  information  ;   but    it    is

chiefly  collected  from  such  writers  as 
Warton,  and  contains  some  errors, 
which  must  be  laid,  not  to  the 
charge  of  the  editor,  but  to  that  of 
the  authorities  which  he  uses.  The 
text,  as  it  appears  to  us,  is  very  well 
edited.  We  have  here  and  theie  a  tri- 
fling literal  error,  such  as,  in  one 
place,  cooptorio  instead  of  eoopertorio: 
but  such  errors  are  almost  unavoidable 
in  the  first  edition  of  a  text  made  after 
old  manuscripts.  We  may  also  point 
out  the  contents  of  a  volume  at  p.  26, 
of  which  the  first  article  is  stated  to 
be  "  Alyoritmus  pasaio  mncti  LaurencU 
versijicata :"  aod  which  is  entered  in 
the  index,  "  Laurentii,  Algorumm 
pasaio  Sancti."  It  should  evideotly  be 
separated  into  two  articles ;  and  there 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  treatise  on 
arithmetic  (Algorismus)  was  altogether 
a  difi'crent  thing  from  the  martyrdom  of 
St.  Laurence.  These,  however,  are 
but  trifles ;  and  by  no  means  take 
away  from  the  thanks  wliich  we  owe 
to  the  Surtees  Society  and  to  Mr.  Bot- 
field  for  this  publication  of  the  An- 
cient Durham  Catalogues. 


T/i€  History  and  Antimittet  of  the  Pa- 
rish of  Hammersmith,  8fc.  By  Tho- 
mas Faulkner.  Royal  and  demy  Zvo. 
pp.  450. 

THIS  industrious  author  Is  favoura- 
bly known  to  the  public  by  his  pre- 
vious Histories  uf  the  contiguous  vil- 
lages of  Ctielsea.  Kensington,  and 
Fulham.  lu  the  latter  work,  published 
in  1813,  he  also  gave  aa  account  of 
Hammer  smith,  at  that  time  a  hamlet 
to  Fulhum,  but  since  made  a  distinct 
parish.  After  an  interval  of  above 
SOyearfi,  during  which  time  he  has  ex- 
erted himself  to  obtain  every  requisite 
information,  Mr.  Faulkner  has  now 
published  his  enlarged  account  of 
Hammersmith,  in  a  pleasing  separate 
work.  It  is  diligently  compiled,  and 
is  full  of  those  minute  details  to  be  ex- 
pected  in  local  histories,  frequently 
rendered  by  Mr.  Faulkner  more  useful 
by  apposite  illustrations,  aod  general 
remarks,  explanatory  of  the  subject  in 
hand. 

The  parish  of  Hammersmith  is  a 
striking  example  of  the  rapid  increase 
of  population  in  the  villages  around

Uineil  5,604)  persona  ;  in  ISl),  7.393; 
in  IS31,  10,223  i  and  it  is  expected 
that  in  the  next  census  it  will  re- 
turn nbove  13,00(1  inhabitants.  Its 
fiituation  on  the.  high  western  road 
had  caused  it  greatly  to  outstrip,  in 
size  and  |)OpuUtion,  the  mother  pariah 
of  Fulliam. 

The  I{.oman  road  rrom  London  to 
Staiucs  and  Chichester,  passed  through 
the  centre  of  the  parish.  After  follow- 
ing the  cuursQ  of  the  present  Oxford 
Road  as  far  as  Shepherd's  Bush,  it 
foPowcd  a  straiijht  linu  to  Turnhnm 
Green,  in  the  same  direction  as  a  pa- 
rish road  called  Gold  Hawk  Lane, 
which  in  1834  waa  ogaiu  converted 
into  a  high  road.  Upon  digging  down 
abuut  ten  feet,  the  workmen  came  to 
the  old  RoroBD  causeway,  which 
was  very  luird  and  compact.  Several 
Roman  coins  and  tiles  were  found. 

A  good  chapter  is  given  on  agricul* 
lure  and  gardening,  as  carried  on  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  Hammersmith  -,  the 
latlrr  to  a  great  extmt.  the  ground 
being  sometiraes  made  to  produce 
four  complete  crops  during  the  year.

grave,  Garons  of  fiuttcrwick   in  Lin- 
colnshire,) appears  lo  have  been  one  of 
the  oldefit  in  the  parish.     It  was  evi 
dently  older  than   the   church,  whiclv' 
was  erected  in  front  of  it.     For  many 
years  tthas  been  divided  intotwo  man-

boys'  sclio  d  (undiT  the  Kev,  Dr.  Chis

(underlhcMiaaesAlWDod).  The  latter, 
which  was  the  oldest  portion,  was 
red-brick  structure,  apparently  of  thi 
time  of  ElizaHetb  ;  it  has  been  recent

that  thi^  inlroductioti  of  \\'\i  Higfa-

though  arising,  perhaps,  fnim  the

Review. — Bigsby's  Triumph  of  Drake.

1831.  TbU  circumstaace  appears  to 
have  inspired  bis  muse  to  the  present 
effort;  of  which  the  following  extract. 


[Sept. 


describing;  the  kniglithood  of  the  hero, 
will  be  a  fair  specimca: 


"  Condacted  by  her  bousebutil  lords,  'mid  forms  of  reg&J  pride. 
The  Queeii,  with  Ann  and  sraceful  it«p.  nscenda  Die  veuel's  side* 

Upon  the  laurelled  deck  she  staods  I  fierce  horats  the  tiiinaU  wide, 
Of  caaaoDS,  blent  with  hoaxse  hoxM'f ,  and  tuuak't  shriller  tide  1 
With  Ktiitleti  she  Tlewa  the  eamiT  crowds  Ih-it  prena  around  the  Mfaip, 
'  I  thank  yoUf  my  good  peopTel'  oft  cscapi's  her  grurioas  tip. 
Now  on  a  thronc-likc  seat  the  rests,  with  tissued  aute  o'er-hong ; 
Hushed  is  each  Ix^iftcrcus  sotoof  joy — de«p  lileace  iwspeaeh  toogw; ; 
And  lowly  bends  the  intrepid  DnJce  at  his  fair  sorerei^'s  feet, 
Vliile  thus,  in  accents  sweetly  bUnd,  she  dnth  the  hero  greet : — 
Tlion  art  welcome  home,  brare  subject,  thy  dread  ta^ik  of  pert)  o'er, 
Loni;  hath  thy  glad  return  been  watched  by  aoxioos  hetrts  ashore  -■ 
When  tempest  wiuda  hare  howled  arouad  our  turrets'  lofty  height. 
We  mervelled  if  thy  galUat  ship  slill  hmved  the  ses'a  dark  RU^hC. 
A  glorious  act  was  thine  tograsji  this  wide-nrlwd  plnnet'a  bnuud. 
And,  long  u  ocean's  wares  exist,  thy  name  shall  l)e  renowned. 
To  grace  such  worth  with  doe  rtiward  our  roynl  cnrea  enjoin  ; 
Pair  knighthood's  honour  well  accords  with  heart  as  bold  ns  thine. 
She  raised  thejcwcUed  sword  of  state,  while  valiant  Drake  knelt  low, 
Then  o'er  his  shoulder  promptly  dealt  the  honour -yielding  blow ; 
Whereat,  with  truly  gracious  smile,  the  formal  words  she  spake  : 
*  Be  thou  a  knight,  in  God's  high  name  I  Rise  up,  Sir  Frands  Drake  t*  ** 


The  poem  coDsiats  of  sixty-two 
eight-line  stanzas  ;  and  therefore 
vastly  exceeds  in  leagth  at  least  that 
which  Cowley  made  on  the  chair,  now 
preserved  in  the  Bodleian  Library  at 
Oxford,  which  was  made  out  of  a  por- 
tion of  Drake's 

"  Oreal  «bip,  which  round  the  world  bad  run. 
And  taatidi'd  in  tsce  tbe  chariot  uf  the  son.'* 

Yet.  however  successfully  the  author 
may  have  courted  the  mui>e.  we  think 
there  arc  good  grounds  to  ^appose  that 
he  considers  the  notes,  which  give  a 
full  and  particular  account  of  tbe 
afuresaid  astrolabe,  as  formingaportii»n 
ofthe  volume  orparamounl  importance. 
In  short.  Dr.  Bigsby  is  not  willing 
that  the  light  of  his  munificence  should 
be  hidden  under  a  bushel ;  and  indeed, 
we  think  it  is  very  openly  published  in 
a  place  which  is  weekly  visited  by 
hundreds  of  his  grateful  countrymen  ; 
but,  having  now  given  him  all  credit 
for  his  public. spirited  lil>eratity,  we 
must  not  allow  him  to  throw  all  fnr- 
mer  benefactors  entirely  into  the 
ahode.   SureJy,  amidst  his  ample  auoo> 


tationt,  he  might  have  found  a  placo 
for  something  more  than  so  slight  an 
allusion  to  "  a  thair  Mid  to  haw  frees 
pr«tented  to  tbe  University  of  Oxfoid, 
with  appropriate  verses  on  the  occa- 
sion,    by     the    celebrated   Cowley." 
Why,  tbe  chair  is  daily  seen  by  the 
viaitors  of  the  University  ;  and  all  ita 
history,  with  Cowley's  verses,  are  to 
be    found    in    various   books.      It  is 
recorded  that  the  chair  was  made  by 
John  Davies,  esq.  the  Commissioner 
of  Dcptford  dockyard,  at  the  lime  of 
the  ship's  being  broken  up,  and  was 
presented  to  the   University  by   Mr. 
Davies.     A    litbogmphic    print   of  it  . 
accompanies  an  octavo  tractate  ofthe  | 
Life  of  Sir  Francis  Drake,   (extracted  | 
from   the  Biographia  Bntannica,  &e.}  i 
which  was  privately  printed  (for  whom] 
we  know  not)  in  1923. 

In  p.  70,  Dr.  Bignby,  quoting  Queen 
Klizabet^i's  "well   known  dibtich"  ou 
her   four    Nottinghamshire    KmghU,  i 
has  got  a  wrong  name,  "  Maichmont]

the  necessary  nrmngi'mcnta  for  rrfoting 
the  Nelson  TestimoDiol,  woa  held  ot  the 
Tliatchetl  IIouk;  vhcn  the  Duke  of 
Wellington  was  cnllcd  to  the  ctiAir.  The 
ballot  luted  rrom  a  little  after  one 
till  four,  whpn  Afr.  Rnitton  was  declared 
to  be  the  auccesBfut  competitor,  there 
bnog  a  majoritj  of  votes  in  his  favour. 
The  model  selected  was  No,  65  in  the 
lii4,  and  oansiats  of  a  fluted  Corinthian 
column  surmounted  by  a  statue  of  Ncl»on. 
(as  before  notiued  in  our  April  number. 
p.  40!V)  It  api>car«  b^  Mr.  Raillou'x  cs- 
timulu  that  this  column  will  cost  30.000/. 
He  calculat^ii  the  masonry  at  Iti.OOO/.

bos  reported  faTourably  of  the  founda- 


tioQ.  The  statue  bas  been  aisigned  to 
Mr.  Baily,  and  the  four  lionn  at  tbe 
comers  of  the  plinth,  t»  Mr.  T^ugh,  hat 
it  is  feared  that  tbe  narrow  titate  of  tbe 
funda  will  render  the  postponement  of 
the  latter  commissioa  neceaaorr.  It  ta 
intended  to  give  the  ba«-relicf»  ira  the

been  subjected  to  repeated  interferences 
of  this  Innd,  unsettling  their  trade,  and

this  Bul  would  be  to  permit  every  man

FOREIGN  NEWS. 


HAWOVER. 

King  Ernest  is  involved  in  a  fresh 
quarrel  with  his  subjects.  The  ma- 
gistracy petitioned  the  Germanic  Diet  to 
protect  their  laws  and  liberties,  and  to 
restore  the  constitution  of  1833.  To 
their  petition  the  signature  of  M.  Ru- 
mann,  chief  of  the  magistracy,  was  af- 
fixed. The  King  immediately  suspended 
Rumann  from  his  office,  and  ordered  him 
to  be  tried  for  his  offence  by  the  Hano- 
verian Privy  Council.  But  the  citizens 
of  Hanover,  on  the  17th  July,  proceeded 
in  a  bod^  to  the  palace,  where  they  had 
an  intervievr  with  the  King  and  his  mi- 
nister Von  Scheie.  The  magistrates  as- 
serted that  Kumann  could  only  be  tried 
by  a  municipal  tribunal ;  and  the  King, 
having  consulted  Von  Scheie,  was  com- 
pelled  to  admit  that  such  was  the  hiw, 
and  he  promised  obedience  to  it.  The 
tribunal  before  which  Kumann  will  be 
tried  is  composed  of  men  guilty  of  the 
same  offence  as  himself;  therefore  his 
acquittal  is  considered  certain.  The 
people,  how^ever,  were  much  exas|>erated; 
and  serious  riots  occurred  on  the  I9th  July, 
which  were  not  suppressed  without  blood- 
shed. 

BELGIUM. 

The  beautiful  cathedral  of  Bruges  has 
been  materially  injured  by  fire;  the  roof 
and  steeple  have  fallen.  A  cuirassier 
was  killed  by  falling  from  the  roof  of  a 
neighbouring  house.  The  misfurtune  is 
owing  to  the  carelessness  of  plumbers. 
The  Archbishop  has  appeiilcd,  in  a  pas- 
toral letter  to  his  flock  and  to  Christians 
in  general,  patrons  of  the  arts,  for  means 
to  enable  him  to  repair  the  edifice; 
he  states  that  the  slates  alone  will  cost 
90,000  francs ;  the  whole  damage  amounts 
to  neariy  500,000  francs. 

BPAlN. 

Lord  John  Hay,  commander  of  her 
Britannic  Majesty's  squadron  on  the 
northern  coast  of  Spain,  has  of  late 
been  in  active  communication  with  Ge- 
nend  Maroto,  chief  of  tbe  army  of  Don 
Carlos,  and  also  with  the  Duke  of  Vic- 
toria (EHtartero),  Generalissimo  of  the 
Queen's  forces,  Maroto,  it  would  seem, 
bu  for  some  time  contemplated  putting 
■n  end  to  tbe  ruinous  and  devastating 
w«r,  and  with  a  view  to  this  he  lately 
OMMed  >U  the  greatest  bigots  around  Don 
GuiM  to  be  buiiibed  N«vure.    Hethcn 


made  overtures  to  the  Duke  of  Vittoria, 
and  it  is  remarkable  that  just  at  the  time 
when  the  latter  was  in  full  tide  of  victory, 
hostilities  suddenly  ceased.  It  was  at  this 
period  that  Maroto  sought  an  interview 
with  Lord  John  Hay.  They  met  again 
and  again.  The  gallant  Commodore  af- 
terwards visited  the  hoad-quarters  of  the 
belligerents  separately,  escorted  by  Cbris- 
tino  or  Carlist  troops,  as  the  case  might 
he. 

It  may  seem  strange  that  two  generals^ 
each  owmg  allegiance  to  his  respective 
employer,  should,  in  the  absence  of  in- 
structions, adopt  such  a  course  as  this; 
but  the  Duke  of  Vittoria  has  lung  been 
a  dictator  on  his  side,  and  for  Muroto  it 
is  notorious  that  Dun  Carlos  has  long 
been,  and  still  is,  a  close  prisoner  in  his 
custody  i  and  he  is  asserted  to  have  de- 
clared that  he  wilt,  if  possible,  make 
peace  in  spite  of  his  master. 

TL'RKKY. 

On  the  30tb  of  June  the  Sultan 
Mahmoud  II.  died  at  Constantinople 
(sec  the  Obituary  of  our  present  num- 
ber) ;  and  his  son,  Abdul  Medjid,  H-as 
immediately  proclaimed  bis  successor,  and 
was  crowned  in  the  Grand  Mosque  on 
the  lOth  of  July.  Though  only  in  his 
17th  year,  he  has  attained  his  majority, 
which  was  fixed  at  fifteen.  This  event, 
combined  with  the  decided  battle  of 
Nezib  (noticed  in  our  last)  has  suspended 
hostilities  with  Egypt  for  the  present; 
but  to  add  to  the  weakness  of  Turkey, 
the  Capitan  Pacha  has  delivered  over  the 
whole  of  the  Ottoman  fleet  to  Mehemet 
Ali.  He  arrived  with  it  at  Alexandria 
on  the  14th  of  July.  Mehemet  Ali  says, 
that  he  will  not  restore  it  to  the  Porte 
until  the  Grand  Vizier,  Kosrew  Pacha, 
shall  have  been  removed  from  office,  and 
until  his  own  hereditary  right  to  the 
countries  he  governs  be  recognized.  The 
Egyptian  army  has  received  orders  to 
retire  behind  the  Euphrates. 

The  Russian  government  has  formally 
announced  to  that  of  Austria,  that,  as 
tbe  interests  of  France  and  of  Great 
Britain  in  Eastern  affairs  are  purely 
commercial,  whilst  those  of  Russia  are 
territorial  na  welt  as  commercial,  it  cannot 
allow  the  former  countries  to  take  any 
part  ill  discussions  in  which  they  have  no 
interest;  that  the  Russian  gorerament  li 
bound  by  treaties  with  Turkey^  uvi  «u

To  no  one  but  a  man  endued  with  ibo 
qualities  which  Sir  B.  Stcpbcn»on  poa- 
«r'«5pd,  could  duties  so  onerous  and  so 
eontideiitiiil  have  been  fiufi-ly  eonGded. 
He  was  indeed  jfifted — ■'^ingnlHrly  gifted — 
with  many  vidnable  endowmetitu :  n  clear 
undentanding,  a  sound  and  candid  judg- 
ment, tjuickncia  of  capacity,  a  gentle- 
manly spirit  under  the  nicest  rulen  of 
discretion,  unfailing  zen),  perfect  dtsin- 
tcn-stedness,  and  spotlcM  integrity. 

In  all  his  transactiiws,  every  ihoiiffliC 
of  telf  was  fflrgotten.  His  time—iiia 
tolentje — bis  repose — (alas,  the  too  need- 
ful repose  required  by  a  weakened  franw 
and  by  advancing  years.)  were  all  devoted 
to  the  service  of  his  country,  and  of  those 
whom  be  c(>niiideri.'d  to  have  claims  upon 
him  ;  and  it  may  with  truth  be  stated, 
that  no  man  occugtying  liis  station  in  so- 
ciety, iind  advanced  tu  his  period  of  life, 
allowed  himn-lffewer  Iiours  uf  relaxation. 
From  the  time  of  hU  appointment  aa 
Surveyor- General  he  never  absented  bim.

In  Kocicty,  Sir  B.  Slepbcneon  was  ae-

THE 


GENTLEMAXS     MAGAZINE. 


Th€  Life  of  Editvrd  Gibbon,  Esq.  with  Sf  lections  from  His  Curre^pondeuce, 
and  Jl lustrations,  l>y  the  Rev,  H.  H.  Milinan.     bvo.    1839. 

HAD  Mr.  Milman  assumed  ihe  office  of  tbc  Biograplier  of  Gibbuu,  he 
would  doubtless  have  given  a  life  of  that  cmiocut  writer  which  would 
lia\'e  been  the  rcaolt  of  deep  research  and  various  inquiry, — which  would 
have  been  distinguished  at  once  for  the  ncntcncss  of  itji  criticism,  the 
Booudness  of  its  philosophy,  and  the  correctness  and  elegance  of  its  style  : 
but  ho  has  preferred  the  humbler  task  of  re-editiug  the  Memoirs 
which  Gibbon  composed^  occasionally  illustrating  then)  from  hia  own 
ctorefl  of  reading ;  correcting  what  was  crroneoua,  and  supplying  such 
additional  information  as  has  been  collected  subscqueutly  to  the  time  when 
the  Historian  drew  his  pleasing  and  animated  portrait  of  himself.  AV'c  think 
that  Air.  Milmau'b  decision  was  altogether  souud  and  just.  For  Gibbon's 
narrative  is  contposed  throughout  with  great  skill  in  the  selection  and 
arrangement  of  his  topics,  and  with  an  elaborate  and  finished  elegance  in 
the  composition.  No  doubt  be  views  the  mental  portrait  of  himself  which 
he  has  sketched,  in  the  flattering  mirror  of  self-vanity ;  nnd  he  speaks  of 
his  uwa  projcctSj  his  pursuits,  and  his  attainnit-ntii  with  a  satislied  com- 
placency* that  may  provoke  a  smile  j  yet  in  this  self-love  and  admire-

while  his  entbusiasu  in  hia  literary  enterprises  quite  captivates  the  luind 
of  the  reader,  ond  seems  to  inspire  him  with  a  kindred  emnlatiou.     Com- 
pared with  auch  iL  narrative,  fresh  with  life  and  motion  and  truth,  animated 
by  the  author's  own  feelings,  and  sketched  by  liis  own  ]>cncil,  Uie  ablest 
composition  of  anotlier  writer  would  appear  devoid  of  interest.     (Gibbon, 
indeed,  left  little  or  nothing  ontold  which  another  persun  could  venture  tu 
supply:  his  autobiography  is  both  personal  and  literar\' :    it  ih  eopious 
enough  in  its  outline,  and  minute  cnongh  in  its  details,  to  satisfy  the  most 
ardent  cariosity  -,  he  is  seen  both  iu  his  Itbrarv  and  at  his  tnbte ;  alone 
and  in  society;   in  bis  days  of  buyhuod  and  in  his  declining  life  ;   and  if 
he  has  held  a  nrserved  and  becoming^  silence  on  one  snbjectj  it  is,  as  he 
justly  ob8er%*es,  because  a  person's  ptcumary  affairs  can  be  seldom  im- 
ported to  the  world  without  exciting  fei'lings  either  of  envy  or  contempt. 
He  has  left  his  readers  to  twlieve  that  his  life  was  passed,  if  not  In  afllu- 
ence,  yet  in  the  easy  cnjojTnent  of  ever)'  reasonable  desire  :  and  he  wisely 
shut  the  door  of  his  cabinet  against  any  more  private  or  inquisiti\'e  research. 
But  OD  no  other  part  of  his  life  or  history  is  a  similar  restiiction  imposed 
• — patet  omnis  tabula  vita? — we  observe  no  ivigns  of  concealment  or  disen- 
geuuousuess  in  any  part ;  and  if  he  speak  of  himeiclf  Id  a  more  sustained 
and  hjgh-loued  style  than  the  modesty  of  aathois  would  allow  ;  yet  be 
never  attempts  to  elevate  himself  by  the  unjust  degradation  of  his  adrer-

P.  102.  *'  The  sublime  author  of  the  Pensecs  (Pascal),"  says  Mr. 
MUman,  '*  would  have  shuddered,  if  he  coold  have  foreseen  flic  influence 
of  his  own  works  ou  minds  like  those  of  Voltaire  and  Gibbon." — On  this 
celebrated  work  inueli  might  be  said  which  would  be  interesting,  we 
think,  to  our  readers,  but  want  of  room  forbids. — "  The  Lettres  I'rorin- 
ciales/'  says  Mr.  Soutliey,  "  able  as  they  are,  and  eOicicnt  beyond  any 
other  controversial  writings,  arc  worse  than  disingenuous  :  and  the  man 
who  could  write  witli  such  unfairness  might  justly  be  suspected  of  dis* 
honesty  in  acts  as  well  as  in  words,  whenever  the  interests  of  his  sect  or 
party  was  concerned."  So  writes  Schlegcl; — "Theliettres  Provinciides 
have,  iu  consequence  of  the  wit  and  beauty  of  the  language,  become  standard 
works  in  French  literature.  But  if  we  wonld  characterize  them  by  their 
imfHJrt  and  spirit,  they  form  only  a  masterpiece  of  sophistry.  Every  one 
must  admit  tliat  the  author  employed  his  genius  in  a  very  culpable  manner, 
when  he  set  the  example  of  writing  concerning  religion  in  a  tone  of 
apparent  levity  and  bitter  sarcasm."  See  Essays  on  Literature,  vol.  ii. 
p.  188.  In  an  excellent  article  in  the  Foreign  Quarterly  Review,  No.  X. 
it  is  said,  "  In  the  Lettres  Provinciales,  Pascal  has  dealt  as  unfairly  with 
the  Jesuits  as  if  he  had  been  trained  in  their  school ;  for  the  doctrines 
and  practices  he  exposes  are  charged  on  them  m  if  they  alone  were  guilty 
of  80  acting  and  teaching,  whereas  the  other  orders  held  the  Sfune  opinions, 
and  went  on  in  the  samt:  couhm;  of  action  ;  and  it  is  not  on  the  Jesuits 
that  the  condemnation  should  fall,  nor  on  any  order,  black,  uhite,  orgrcv, 
but  on  that  Komi^h  church,  in  the  service  of  which  they  were  alt  equally 
engaged^  which  adopted  their  legends,  applauded  their  crimes,  and  en- 
couraged them  to  sup|)ort  its  cause,  by  any  means — per  fas  ct  nefaa." 
Consult  also  Benson'*  Hulscan  Lectures,  vol.  i.  p.  28,  discourse  2.  On 
the  literary  merits  of  this  work,  our  ooles  arc  too  copious  to  extract  on 
the  present  occasion.

here  to  the  praise  of  Kobertaon's  style.  What  say  the  erilics  on  the

P.  lir.  Mr.  Milman  saySf  "  Perfanps  the  most  extraordtnary  effort  of 
oomjKnition  in  a  foreign  laofuage,  by  an  Englishman,  is  the  translntioD  of 
Hudibru,  by  Mr.  Tuwidcy.'  Townley  was  an  ofliccr  in  the  Iriah  brigade  j 
be  was  nacle  to  Clinrles  Townley  who  left  the  marbles  to  the  Museum. 
The  publication  of  the  translation  of  Hudibras  was  superintended  by  Mons. 
L'Abty!'  Turberville  Ncedham.  Larcberalso  assisted  in  it.  It  Is  curious 
that  when  the  Critical  Revicwcra  renewed  Tytter'a  Essay  on  Tranalation, 
tbey  would  not  beliere  in  the  existence  of  this  book ;  it  was  so  scarce  at 
that  time.     En  this  trandlation  the  Epistle  to  SidropLel  is  omitted. 

P.  1^0.  "  Tiie  loss  of  eo  tuany  ^^'eary  and  idle  liours  was  not  com- 
peosatcd  by  any  elegant  pleasures  ;  and  my  temper  was  insensibly  soured  by 
tbe  society  of  our  rustic  officers," — Yet  among  these  rustic  officers  was 
one  whodeoerved  a  better  mention.  W.  Mltford,  the  historinu  of  Greece, 
iras  in  tbe  same  militia,  the  South  Hampshire,  with  Gibtwn,  at  the  samt 
time  -J  and  he  has  told  the  writer  of  this  uote,  that  Gibbon  6rst  incited 
bim  to  write  the  History  of  Greece  :  thus  were  our  two  ancient  histories 
written  by  two  militia  officers ;  and  tbe  latter  one,  tbnt  of  Greece,  literally 
in  the  lent  of  n  camp.     "  Hanc  ct  Pallns  nmnt." 

P.  ISy.  "  The  literary  part  of  these  histories,"  (Roscoe's  Uvcs  of 
Lorenzo  de  Med.)  says  Mr.  Milman,  '*  is  executed  with  much  el^ance. 
The  great  political  portion  would  rrquire  a  firmer  and  more  vigorous 
hnnd.  '  An  eminent  critical  scholar  nf  the  present  day  speaks  in  a  letter 
penf»  me  on  this  subject,  "  Wyttcnbach's  Life  of  Kuhnken,  and 
Ro9Coc*s  Lives  of  the  nursing  fathers  of  reviving  literature,  I  would  place 
on  tbe  same  shelf — thnf  are  very  light  reading  on  very  *  grave  subjects,'  *' 
So  much  for  the  literature.  As  for  the  political  portion, "It  is  to  be  re* 
ffretted  tlint  the  accomplished  biographer  uf  Lorenzo  de  Medeci  should 
ba\*e  taken  no  pains  to  inform  himself  of  the  most  ordinary  particulars  in 
the  conntitution  of  Florence.  Among  many  other  errors,"  &c.  See  Hal-

M.  de  la  Croze  assisud  Lc  Clerc  in  the  Bibl.  Unirerscilo,  but  not  iu  the

V.  223.  Of  U'arbiirton's  Divine  Legation,  Sir  J.  Mackintosh  says;  "  IH 
delighted  rae  more  than  any  book  f  had  yet  read :  and  which  perhaps 
tainted  my  mind  with  a  fondness  for  the  twilight  of  histoncnl  hypothesis  ; 
but  nbich  certAinly  inspired  mc  with  that  passion  for  investigating  the 
history  of  opinions  which  hns  influenced  tuy  reading  through  life.  The 
luminous  theory  of  hiero^K'phics,  as  a  btage  in  the  progress  of  society  be- 
tween picture  writing  and  alphabetic  characters,  is  perhaps  the  only  addi- 
tion made  to  the  slock  of  knowledge  in  this  extraordinary  work." — v.  Life, 
i.  p.  10.  There  was  aa  answer  to  it,  among  others,  by  a  Kev.  T.  Bell, 
whose  strictures  on  the  qootations  from  the  ancients  are  deserving  of 
notice,  as  illustrating  how  much  may  be  achieved  by  slight  nltrfations  and 
omisMtons  in  the  text  of  an  author  who  is  not  in  every  one's  hands. —  Seo 
Russell's  Con.  of  Sarr.  and  Prof.  Hisloi7,  vol.  iii  p.  6.'J7. 

P.  23G.  To  ^f^.  Milman's  qnotations  from  Colmau's  Kandoni  Uecords, 
ua  Gibbon,  add  the  following  from  Sismondi's  Travels  in  Switzerland,  vol. 
i.  p.  280.  "  Gibbon  baa  not  left  here  a  pleasing  remembrance  of  him- 
self. Whimsically  particular  about  his  honrs,  very  i^elfish,  disgusting  in 
his  appearance.  An  Englieh  traveller  published  an  account  of  him  aud  bis 
mode  of  life,  absurd  and  offensive  ;  yet  a  gross  mistake  he  had  committed, 
was  so  gratifying  to  Gibbon,  that  he  forgave  all  the  rest.  He  said  that 
the  hisiorian  rode  on  horseback  eveiy  mvrning !" 

P.  2-18.  From  the  corrcspondi  ncu  of  Mr.  ^^*hitakcr,  as  given  here,  if 
we  turn  to  his  book.,  we  find  it  written  with  great  coarseness  aud  vulgarity; 
bnt  conlainiug  many  ciitical  observations  and  censures  of  imitortance.  In 
one  iastanee,  hoH  ever,  "  the  woodcock  is  caught  in  his  own  springe,'*  * 
We  will  give  the  passage,  as  it  ga\e  rise  to  the  blunder  of  more  than  nnc 
scholar  : — *•  Mr.  (Jibboii  speaks  of  that  ftsscrtcd  repetition  of  Archimedes' 
barning- glasses  by  Proclus  in  these  terms — '  a  machine  was  fixed  on  thu 
walls  of  the  city  consisting  of  an  hexagon  mirror  of  {wlisbed  braxs.*  And 
the  note  annexed  tells  us  that  Tzctzes  describes  the  artifice  of  these 
glasses.  Mr.  (iiblmn  therefore  refers  to  T^el/es  for  his  account  of  them  j  I 
but  an  unlucky  blunder  in  his  real  author  detects  l)is  delusive  rcfcrenco

Mn.  UiiSATC,    Brit.  Mua.  Aag.  20. 
1    CERTAINLY    underatood    Mr. 
FosDEs's expressions  to  imply,  that  a 
great  proportion  of  the  words  com- 
mon  to   Welffh    and  Gaelic    arc  not 
^essential  to  the  latter  language;  and 
I  that  half,  or  eren  the  whole  of  them, 
tmight  be  aurreodcrcd,  without  dctri- 
Vment  to  hi»  cause.     It  appears  now 
[that  the  converse  proposition   is  the 
[iDore  legitimate   one,    viz.    that  the 
terms  in  question  are  no  original  por- 
tion of  the   Welsh   language,  having 
been  borrowed  by  the  t'ymro  from  the 
i  Gael ;  and  that  they  are  not  even  now 
Ic&sential  to  ita  integrity.      This  will 
I  enable   as  to  place  tlie  matter  on  a 
more    clear    and    intelligible  footing, 
and  I  am  perfectly  willing  to  discuss 
it  on  thiv  ground. 

I   readily  admit   that  a   multitude 
of  tiultslantives  and  adjectives  arc  bor- 
rowed t  in  many  laoguaces,  but  it  is 
usually  very  easy  to  distinguish  be- 
tween   them     and    vernacular    terms. 
iThe  Engli&h  have  adopted  many  Greek, 
~Latia.  and  Krcuch   words,  but  do  our 
Epcasaotry   employ    them   in   ordinary 
rdiseourse,  to  denote  common  and  Ta- 


miliar  objects?  Yet  we  are  to  suppose 
that  the  names  used  by  every  Welsh 
farmer  for  body,  hrad,  hair,  »kin,  ear, 
check,  lip,  tooth,  btivk,  elbov,  hnnd, 
tifpe,  /uaf,  hvttf  cotp,  calf,  pig,  Uimh, 
right,  left,  black,  trhite,  with  thou- 
sands of  similar  terms,  have  been  bor- 
rowed from  a  foreign  language,  and 
that  the  ancestors  of  the  Cymro  carried 
this  "appropriation  principle"  soforaa 
to  take  twcuty  names  for  hill  and 
moanlain  which  did  not  belong  to 
them,  if  this  did  really  happen,  1  can 
only  say  that  I  do  not  know  of  a 

Parallel  case  in  any  other  language. 
□  fact,  any  one  who  lakes  the  trouble 
to  examine  the  Latinized  words  intro- 
duced into  our  own  tongue,  will  find 
that  the  bulk  of  them  are  abstract  and 
scientific  terms,  adoptetl,  for  the  most 
part,  since  the  fourteenth  century  i 
and  though  very  convenient  in  aretincd 
period  of  society,  by  no  means  neces- 
sary in  a  ruder  one. 

The  terms  common  to  Welsh  and 
Oaclic,  stand,  1  conceive,  on  a  very 
different  footing.  Two  strong  pointa 
in  ray  argument,  ovetlorikcd  by  Mr. 
Koansa,  were,   I.  'Vha  simple  words

ficiitnt,  &c.  flee,  employed  extensively

the  above  hfrt  i«  amply  safficient  tu 
prove  my  point  ;  since,  inelgiiincant 
&•  the  wordH  may  seem,  tlify  art*  in 
Tvalily  of  the  rao«l  Tital  iinimrlance. 
They  must,  from  their  VL*ry  nalure.  be 
indijfeuoHt :  and  if  Uiey  ar«  eaacuti&l  in 


Qaetic,  which  will  liardly  be  denied, 
they  are  much  more  so  in  Welsh, 
because  tltc  latter  is  in  a  much 
higher  degree  a  wynthrtir.  language. 
It  would  he  impossible  to  tiud  a 
page  of  Welsh  compoaitiou  withuut  % 
number  of  the  above  particlen,  moat 
of  them  necessary  to  the  sense;  and 
it  is  not  too  much  to  affirm  that,  if 
they  were  token  away,  Wekh  would, 
for  all  practical  purposes,  cease  tu  bo 
a  language.  Let  any  man  take  a  page 
of  Greek  at  random,  and  try  the  cx- 
{leriment  of  blotting  out  two-tbirda 
of  the  prepositions,  separate  and  in 
composition;  he  will  then  immediately 
appreciate  the  force  of  thia  argu- 
ment. 

The  originality  of  words  in  Welsh 
mav  be  also  ascertained  by  tlic  deri- 
vatives formed  from  them,  according 
to  the  peculiar  characteristics  of  the 
language.  Exotic  words  do  not  branch 
out  into  a  multitude  of  native  forms, 
any  more  than  the  tropical  plants  of 
our  conaervntoriea  spread  in  our  open 
fields.  The  terras  adopted  by  the  later 
Latin  writers  from  the  Greek  stand 
perfectly  isolated — while  vernacular 
ones  become  parents  of  entire  families 
of  words.  These  two  criteria  of  com- 
position with  porticles  and  derivation, 
will  help  ua  tu  form  some  judgment 
of  the  relative  claims  to  originality  on 
behalf  of  the  Wels-h  and  Gaelic;  and 
I  am  content  to  appeal  to  Mr.  Fortie&'t 
brief  specimens  fur  the  practical  illus- 
tration of  them.  The  lirsl  substantive 
in  the  Gaelic  quotation — Hiigh^ama 
(Lord),  can  as  certainly  be  proved  to  be 
genuine  Celtic  aa  any  word  in  the  dic- 
tiunaries.  The  corresjHinding  WcKh 
ia  71-yrn,  anciently  written  '/VyyrM. 
A  reference  tu  Otvcn  will  shew  fifty 
derivatives  and  compounds,  having 
trym  for  their  first  loeinbrr,  nine  of 
them  being  verbs  and  atljectives.  The 
Highland  Society's  dictionary  musterii 
fArre  substantives  and  one  adjective, 
not  quite  in  the  ratio  of  one  to  twelve.

Comparison  of  the  Gaelic  ond  WeUh, 


[Ocl. 


Gael,  mol.)  Here  again,  we  find  ap- 
Tvnrdfl  of /Air/jr  derivatives  from  moli, 
including  a  dozen  verbs  aud  adjecUvcs, 
-white  Mol  hfu  barely  branched  out 
into  one  subitantive,  and  one  adjective. 
To  aay  therefore  that  the  Welsh  root 
is  borrowed  from  the  Goelir,  is  like 
as»ertiDg  that  the  Greek  Xryu— with 
its  ho«t  of  descendants,  came  from  the 
Latin  lego. 

\Vc  ncKt  fiad  nffdynion  (enemies), 
tingular,  gchfn.  The  Scultish  Gaelic 
has,  1  believe,  no  correspond i eg  term, 
bat  tlie  ancient  Irish  has  gaiam 
(O'Reilly's  Diet.).  It  atandi  bow- 
ever  perfectly*  taolatcd,  while  f/fttfn  is 
accompanied  by  ien  derivatives.  To 
prove,  then,  that  it  was  originally 
adopted  from  the  Irish,  would,  I  con- 
ceive, be  a  diificult  task,  on  more 
accounts  tli&n  one. 

It  would  be  easy  to  collect  many 
hundreds  of  similar  instances,  but  I 
will  content  myself  with  obscrviog, 
once  for  all,  that  wbcn  the  same  cle- 
mcats  coexist  in  the  two  languages,  the 
compounds  and  derivativea  in  Welsh 
generally  exceed  those  in  Gaelic,  in  the 
ratio  af  at  leaat  It-n  toone.  If,  there- 
fore, the  Welsh  did  actually  burrow 
or  steal  the  terms  in  question,  it  must 
be  admitted  that  they  have  taken  much 
better  care  of  them  than  tbc  original 
owners  did.  ^ 

I  will  just  add  a  striking  instance 
of  |>ara11elism  in  the  two  tongues. 
Kach  possesses  three  words  for  the 
adjective  W»,  as  follows ; — 

•mbsil  I  ■vml, 

ssrnhall ;  havil. 

oosamhiil,  oonnhiUI ;        cyhsvsl. 

Tht  above  words  arc  perfectly  iden- 
tical in  origin,  a^  well  at  indigenous 
in  both  brandies.  A  decisive  proof 
that  the  Welsh  have  not  borrowed  in 
this  cue,  is,  that  they  alone  pnii<i<jM 
the  genuine  root,  viz.  mal  (like) ;  in 
the  other  dialects  lost«  or  corrupted 
into  nor. 

To  bring  then  this  te^lious  argiimeivt 
to  a  conclusion,  1  beg  to  cipross  a 
mo?t  ilecltloU  conviction  that  the  cuu- 
verae  of  the  proposition  1  advancc-d  as 
to  Gaelic,  docs  huld  with  respect  to 
Wel&h^  aud  iu  a  much   more  eminent 


degree.  To  take  away  all  Gaelic  ele- 
ments from  it,  would  make  as  sad 
havock  with  the  language,  oj  cutting 
off  leg?,  arms,  anil  tongurt  would  with 
Uie  pens'jns  of  thowj  who  apeak  it. 
Even  the  little  fragment  adduced  by 
Mr.FoaDBs  would,  if  operated  upon  in 
this  way,  lose  nine  pronoifns,  four  pre- 
positions, and  be  subjected  to  the  mati- 
lation  of  three  verbs,  and  at  least  as 
many  nouns.  Nny  more,  this  con- 
formity of  wordt  is  nut  so  strong  a  proof 
of  affinity  as  the  grammar  and  stroctarr 
of  the  passage.  The  compound  prono- 
minal forms  ynot  (in  thiu^),  umn/(over 
me),  the  preterite  termination  in  uu 
(Irish  aS'Cas),  the  passive  form  jrira- 
radwydJer  (Lat.  confuodar),  and  above 
oil  the  initial  mutations  in  Nuw, 
ngrlynion,  answering  to  the  Irish 
eclijima  ndia,  ngaian,  are  to  me  direct 
evidences  of  relationship,  outweighing 
many  pages  of  argumentation  and 
assumption,  however  ingenious  and 
plausible. 

At  tlic  same  time,  I  freely  admit  that 
n  great  proportion  of  Gaelic  voi^ables 
ore  not  to  be  identiHcd  in  Welsh,  as 
we  now  have  it.  But  to  aasume  tlut 
these  are  genuine  Celtic,  and  the  oon- 
Gaelic  purtiou  of  Welsh  not  so.  is 
clearly  a  two-fold  begging  of  the 
question.  Let  it  be  remeotbsred 
that  the  controversy  realty  hinges  on 
this  point — U  Welsh  a  CW/ic  dialect  ? 
that  is,  is  it  allied  to  the  language  an- 
ciently spoken  by  those  inhabitanta  of 
Gaul,  Italy,  and  Germany,  who  called 
themaelvca  Celt«?  It  might  turn  out 
upon  inquiry  that  Cymric  onrl  Armo 
rican  a^ree  closely  with  the  paren 
tongue  in  words  And  forms;  while  a 
great  proportion  of  the  Gaelic  dialects 
ha-H  ctrae  from  other  sources.  1  my- 
hqK  bavi'  certainly  an  opinion  upon 
the  subject,  and  perhaps  poeseaa  a 
little  int'iirmaticin,  which  I  may  one 
day  lay  before  the  public  in  a  nore 
extended  form  than  is  practicable  in 
tha  pages  of  a  Maifn/lm-  If  Mr,,

DESCRIPTION  OF  AN  ETRUSCAN  SEPULCHRE.  NEAR  TUSCANIA, 
CALLED  GROTTA  DELLA  REGINA;  BY  &IGNOR  CAMPANARL 

ffTitk  m  Plate.) 


THIS  grotto  exists  In  the  slope  of  ft

RttinolU.  ilf  jinr*eQt  Tusrania.  It  has

|«rfliiirto.     An     irregolar    goJlery,  of 
forty  feel  in  extent,  gives  access  to  & 
liAmbvr  ctfteen  feet  broad  and  thirty 
rt  luoe  1  but  the  ^all  next  ibe  en- 
Tdiire   It  nnt    in  a  straielit  lioe.   but 
EtmctirarpUivrrgCs  towards  thtfiolertnr 
f^the  cbambcr.      One  of  these  pro* 
rtions  of  tbc  walU  is  cat  tike  a  cjoad- 
|r>n|{alnr  pdustnr.  Iiuvirig  un  its  top  b 
|rougb  capital  ui^oud  deal  brukea.furm- 
'ng  a  kind  ot gala  rot«reia.  ai  repre- 
cnted  in  the  engraving.  About  five  feet 
un  tbc  right  hand  of  that  pilaster  the 
BUtraoce   of  another  gallery   presents 
titelf,   omaller  than   the   former,  and 
pitfcli  forms  in   ita  cuuree  a  half  cir- 
cular line.     The  sane  gallery  divides 
|t»elfin  two  after  a  little  extent,  but 
he  water  and  soil  have  filled  it  »o  that 
IS   impoasible  to  describe  it  reore 
ccuratcly. 
la  the  middle  of  the  chamber  arc 
Iwo  pillars  of  pepcriiio.  one  of  them 
vo  feet  in  diameter,  the  uther,  with 
plinth,  eight  feet.     These  calumos, 
ivhose  corvalure  is  not  «lwa\i  perfect. 
Ifere  placed  on  the  ground  ^\'itbout  any 
~  asp,  and  are  formed  of  two  sepanite 
||>ipcei.    Theplinths  are  boib  difft^renl. 
as  that  of  the  lowest  pillar  is  higher 
I  ban  that  of  the  highest. 

At  a  little  diatance  from  the  above. 
mentioned  columns  tbcre  is  a  part  of 
another  column  overthrown  on  the 
ground,  winch,  by  ils  fall,  occasioued 
tbat  of  the  (Mirtiitn  of  tbc  vault  uf  the 
rbamber  which  was  supported  by  it. 
0\\  the  left  hand  of  llie  cbaraber  there 
is  an  aperture,  which  \rs.  pruhably,  the 
entrance  to  another  clmmhor ;  but 
Deitherilsform  nor  itseilentisknown, 
eiog  entirely  filled  with  earth  and 
rubbish.  lu  the  jimt  chamber  there 
is  alio  a  portion  of  a  sarcopbagas  nf 
pvperino,  in  which,  probably,  n  dearl 
btidy  has  been  deposited. 

Ail  the  line  uf  the  rock,  where  this 
OmiT.  Mao.VouXn. 


sepulchre  has  been  excavated,  presents 
uniformly  the  same  formation  of  mosso 
arcnario  and  lava.  It  is  evident  tbat 
there  are  many  other  sepulchres,  and 
this  assertion  is  strengthened  by  the 
frequent  apertnres  remarked  in  tile 
superlicics  of  the  soil  above  the  rock 
that  are  produced  by  the  fall  of  the 
vault  in  tlie  sepulchres  below. 

Indeed  ihc  construction  of  this  se- 
pulchre conveys  to  us  the  idea  of  the 
most  irregular  and  (.arcless  architec- 
ture. It  is  apparent  that  no  care  has 
been  taken  to  preserve  ■symmetry  ;  this 
is  evinced  by  the  rough  pillar,  without 
another  like  it,  in  the  interior  of  the 
chamber ;  and  its  unfinished  top,  with* 
out  any  attempt  at  an  ornamented  capi> 
tal.  The  two  columns,  in  two  sepa- 
rate pieces,  although  so  short  and  un- 
fioidhed,  placed  upright  without  abase, 
and  the  inenuolity  and  roughness  of 
the  plinthft,  indicate  that  they  were  mot 
placed  there  fur  ornament,  but  merely 
Xa  support  tbc  vault  in  a  greater  de- 
gree than  could  liave  been  effected  by 
the  simple  pillars,  as  tliey  extend  on 
nil  sides  from  the  columns.  From  all 
these  particulars  we  most  conjecture 
chat  at  that  cpucb  the  arts  were  in 
their  infancy,  and  did  not  venture  to 
attempt  to  proceed  beyond  the  Jtiraple 
principles  at  that  period  understood, 
^ome  living  authors  have  erroneously 
supposed  that  this  sepulchre  may  be 
assigned  to  the  later  |>eriod  of  the  aa- 
liOQ  ;  l}ut  such  an  opinion  is  con- 
futod  by  the  following  reasons  : 

I.  Because  the  enterprise  of  cutting 
such  prottoes  undvr  a  flour  nf  lava  (a 
very  hard  substance;  denotes  more 
strength  of  arm  and  power  of  intellect 
than  that  of  excavating  them  in  the 
tufo  or  mosso  arcniirio,  which  is  more 
cofidy  worked,  and  at  less  expenoe. 
and  therefore  more  suited  to  the  altered 
circumstancea  of  the  declining  and 
impoverished  state  of  Etniria. 

•i.  Because  we  have  in  Tuccaoia. 
many  other  sepulchres  that  are,  nn- 
dnubtedly,  nf  the  liter  epoch,  which 
are  always  of  a  cunstruction  very  dif- 
ferent from  the  inure  ancieut,  and  are 
never  sup[>orted  bv  pillars  of  the  same

find  elsewhere  that  he  wrote  in  Ger-

we  have  no  meniion  of  the  celebrated

lines.  On  some  points  we  are  rather 
at  variance.  1  contend.  1.  Tliat  his 
name  shrtuld  be  written  lUdolpfa  Agas : 
so  he  wrote  it  iu  159fi.  9.  That  the 
plan  of  London  was  rc-engraved  by 
Vertue  in  17^17.  not  in  1748.  3.  That 
the  plan  of  Cambridge  was  published  : 
Ames  declares  that  he  had  seen  it,  4. 
That  the  plan  of  Dunwich,  which  the 
new  biographer  transforms  into  Dal< 
wicfa,  was  not  poblishcd  :  it  waa  a 
drawing  on  vellum,  shewn  to  the 
Society  of  Antiquaries  in  1745.  S. 
'Iliat  Agas  wrote  no  work  entitled  A 
Treatise  on  Surveying:  he  wrote  A 
prfparative  to  platting  of  iMndew,  he, 
6.  T^at  wc  should  have  been  favoured 
with  the  dates  of  the  above  vrorka, 
viz.  The  plan  of  London,  IbGOi;  the 
plans  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  about 
1578;  the  plan  of  Dunwich,  1589; 
and  the  Prryarafivp,  I59fl. 

Uf  Master  Kadolph  Agas  I  shall  pro- 
duce some  detached  anecdotes.  He 
was  "  practised  in  surucy  more  than 
forty  yecres."  Lord  Burleigh  waa  sen- 
sible of  his  merit,  and  has  preserved 
two  of  his  notes,  which  are  written 
with  peculiar  neatness.  He  chiefly 
resided  at  Stoke  in  Suffolk,  but  came 
to  London  in  term  time  to  obtain 
orders.  He  used  a  twenty- inch  theo- 
dolite  and  $tcrl  u:ir^  in  oar  /oat  tinkt. 
Advertising,  in  the  present  mode,  waa 
unknown;  and  Master  Agaa  therefore 
recommended  liimwlf  in^ymp |Wpen  ; 
but  because  they  would  not  "abide 
the  pasting  to  poasts,"  wrote  "  A  Pre- 
naratjvc  to  platimg  of  L^ndes  and 
reuementa  furSurueigh.  London,  T. 
Scarlet,  13{>6."6m.  4tu.  pp.  20.  This 
is  merely  an  admonitory  essay  ;  but 
he  projected  a  technical  treatise.  He 
does  not  mention  his  mtfravim^t.  "At 
mine  cntrie  hereinto,"  says  he,  "  1 
doubted  or  the  shortne*  of  my  slore, 
for  so  Btraiglited  an  argument,  but  or 
I  wist,  I  had  exceeded  the  forme  of  a 
bill,  and  was  almost  come  to  iha 
fai-hion  of  a  bookc."  VNV  nee  above 
the  origin  of  the  phrue  poMtiny  hUU. 
Ames  never  saw  this  rare  piece ;  and 
Herbert  had  only  an  imperfect  copy, 
which  misled  him  in  his  dtscnption 
of  it.     It  concludes  thus  r

This  notable  exordium  suggests  fonr 
queiitiuns.  to  which  the  narmtive  pro.

siiieborn?  2.  What  was  his  father  f 
3.  Where  did  he  receive  his  early 
education?  4.  When  was  he  elected 
a  F.R.S.  ?  We  should  have  been  in- 
formed  that  he  waa  born  at  Newcaade- 
upOD-Tyne — that  his  father  was  a 
butcher— that  he, became  a  pupil  of  the 
celehrated  Dawes  at  Newcastle — and 
that  he  was  elected  a  K.K.S.  the  8lh 
Kebruary  1753.  1  have  also  to  observe 
that  the  dale  of  hia  birth  is  staled  fm>

I  VKNTURE  to  surest  the  follow- 
ing interpretniion  of  the  two  ein^Eidnr 
ijitin  lines,  inacribrd  on  the  tmnb  of 
John  Wiles,  in  Lavenhani  Church- 
yard. I  think  a  cine  tu  their  mean- 
ing b  found  in  the  tenor  ■>r  general 
■purport    of  the   iwn  quotations  from 

ory  Writ,  which  accompany  ihem. 

I  propose   the  following   punctua- 
tion I — 
Quod  Nit  e«i>e,  ipiod  est  i  quod  non  fuit 

case  qood  e«Mt 
Cw.  qwKl  e*t  ?  Noa  «aK  qaott  est  oofl 
ctL.  erlt  ene. 


I  would  translate  them  thos,  lite- 
rally :— 

"  What  hath  been  to  be,  what  u  it  ? 
Tu  be,  what  hath  not  been  to  be  what  It 
u  to  be.  what  is  it  ?  Not  to  be  wkat  is  is 
not,  will  be  to  be." 

And  1  would  thus  paraphraze  them. 
in  explanation  of  the  above  transla- 
tion :— 

"What  hath  hcen  to  be,  what  ia 
it  f  "  it'kat  it  it  to  han  ^en,  or  ex- 
utrdf  or,  What  is  patt  morfai  l^af 
("To  be."  f^ignlbes  life  j  "  what  hath 
been  to  be."  life  past,  or  gone  ) 

"  To  be  what  hath  not  been  tn  be

Difics  a  coraiog  state  of  existence; 
"  What  hath  not  been  to  be,"  that 
it  is  new  and  untried.  The  expres- 
sion. "What  hath  not  been  [hitherto] 
to  be  what  it  ia  to  be,"  is  the  con- 
trary, or  opposite  to  the  previous  de- 
scription of  past  mortal  life  :  This  last 
is  expressed,  as  "  What  bath  been  to 
be."  Future  life  is  expressed,  as 
"  WliAt  hath  not  been  to  be  what  it 
h  to  be.") 

The  last  eliiuse,  "  Not  to  be,  what 
is  is  uot,  will  be  to  be."  1  paraphraze 
thu»  : 

Tb  live  for  pper,  viU  6e  thp  future 
ttate  :  or  a  future  state  will  he  nrver  tu 
cmse  to  be.  or  fo  riist.  {"  Will  be  to 
be,"  is  equivalent  lo/a/iwi/y  is:  "  not 
to  be  what  is  is  not,"  that  is,  to  lim 
for  ever;  or.  to  die  no  more;  or,  no 
more  to  be,  not  lieintj.) 

hi  this  suggested  translation,  there 
is  no  "  transposition  of  any  word  : 
only  the  insertion  of  two  iulerroga- 
tives  and  some  stops.  However  quaint 
and  fanciful  the  Latin  lines  may  be^ 
they  must  be  allowed  to  contain  a  very 
intelligible  sennc,  and  one  very  appro- 
priate to  their  situation — on  a  tomb- 
stone  ;  03  well  as  according  with  lh« 
rest  of  the  inscription.

AllVBRSAHIA. 

IN  slang  language,  a  danhing  per- 
son ift  often  called  a  kid,  or  a  kiddy. 
It  is,  in  fact,  a  grnooytn  for  a  knoicing 
one.  To  kjfd,  is  given  in  JubntiDo's 
Dictionary,  as  implving  to  know. 

In  Johnson's  Dictionary',  and  also 
^io  Mr.  Todd's  enlarged  edition,  the 
rord  obvfrte,  relating  ^to  medals,  la 
^omitted. 

I  have  sometimes  heard  patriotic 
Welshmen  make  a  complaint  that  Sir 
William  Jooea  turned  his  back  on  his 
native  language,  and  regret  that  he 
did  not  leave  a  single  sentence  in  com- 
mendation of  its  study.  Bui,  in  point 
nf  fact,  the  complaint  U  unjust.  In 
his  letter  to  R.  Murri«.  Esq.  dated 
Calcutta,  Oct  30.  1790,  Sir  William 
says — "  As  oue  of  tbeCyuiro-doriana, 
I  am  warmly  interested  in  British  an- 
tiquities and  literature."  In  a  letter 
to  Lord  Althorpe,  Dec.  28,  1777.  he 
says — "  1  prefer  Evans's  harp  to  the 
Theban  lyre,  as  much  as  I  prefer  Wales 
to  ancient  or  modern  Egypt." 

It  would  hardly  l>e  supposed  that 
the  Hetti-Gellert  legend  ia  to  be  found 
in  tlindoslan.  Yet  such  is  actually 
the  case.  It  occurs  in  the  Hitopa- 
dfto,  and  is  given  in  some  extracts 
made  from  It  by  Sir  W.  Jones.  (See 
his  Life  by  Lord  Teignmouth,  edited 
by  the  ilev.  S.  C.  Wilkes,  in  the  edi- 
tor's supplemenLJ  The  moral  is  this 
— "  He  who  knows  not  the  first  prin- 
ciple, and  tirst  cause, — who  is,  be^lde't, 
in  subjectiim  to  wrath, — is  tonuculed 
like  a  iool,  as  th\.'  lirahmin  was  who 
kdlcd  the  ichneumon."  The  slorv  ia 
this,  that  the  Brahmin,  having  occa- 
sion to  go  from  home,  curamitted  hi» 
infant  daughter  to  the  carr  nf  nn  ich- 
neumon, wliumhc  hail  <  'ed. 
"Soon  after  which,  li  r.on, 
seeing  a  black  ecrpeut  lvm  ihir  child, 
kdlcd  luin  and  cut  him  in  pieces  ;  and 
3 


then,  seeing  the  Brahmin  returning, 
went  hastily,  his  month  and  paws 
being  smeared  with  binod,  and  fell  at 
the  feet  ol'  hia  ma5ter ;  who,  seeing 
him  in  that  condition,  and  baying  to 
himself — *  He  has  devoured  ray  child  !' 
stamped  on  him  and  killed  him. 
Afterwards,  guiug  into  his  house,  be 
saw  hi^i  child  asleep,  and  the  dead 
snake  lying  by  him  ;  at  looking,  there- 
fore, at  tlie  ichneunum,  hti  lirnefactor, 
he  was  greatly  alllictcd."  The  Htto. 
jmdfta  (I.  e.  Frivtidly  Iiutruefiowi)  ia 
considered  by  Sir  W.  Jones  to  be  the 
most  splendid  collection  of  Fables  in 
the  world.  It  was  written,  about 
eleveti  centuries  ago,  by  ■  Brahmin 
named  Vishnu  Sarma.  It  is  the  basil 
of  the  work  known  in  Europe  by  the 
uameof  Pdpay. 

Bryant  mentions  that,  among  the 
ancient  Latioes,  caia/  signitied  a  kind 
of  whip  or  tbang.  I  wonder  that,  in 
his  rage  for  elymology.hedid  not  derive 
theeaZ-of-nine  taile  from  this  source. 

Anecdotal  literature  finds  materials 
for  its  history  even  in  Turkey,  The 
following  paragraph  appeared  in  the 
papers  in  January  1S3G.  "  Conatan- 
tiaoph,  Dec.  3. — Abdi  Bey,  the  Sul- 
tan's favourite  jester,  died  liut  week. 
He  held  his  post  under  different  Sul- 
tans for  forty  years,  and  in  the  early 
part  of  his  career  his  profession  was 
no  sinecure,  as  the  jokes  were  then 
practical  and  at  his  expense,  such  aa 
mounting  him  on  a  giraffe,  immercing 
him  in  cold  water,  £c.  &c.  But  Sul- 
tan Mahmoud  having  no  relt&h  for 
such  amusements,  he  was  principally 
employed  to  ket-p  him  in  good  spirits, 
— by  smart  sayings  and  diverting  sto- 
ries. That  his  wit  served  him  to  some 
purpose,  is  proved  by  the  circumstance 
of  his  leaving  liehind  him  150,000/.

Great  aa  art  the  complainta  about

NOTICES  OF  THE  CASTLK  AND  LORDSHIP  OF  LAUGUARNE, 

CAERMAHTHF.NSHIKE. 

(^Omtinued  from  /».  2i.) 


THE  Cutlc,  M  the  vww  lias  ehevn, 
is  now  a  picturesque  ruin,  prufusely 
overgrown  with  ivy.  The  (o**  by  which 
it  vf«5  formerly  burroundeJ  wa^  pro- 
bably A  dry  one ;  its  site  is  atill  indi- 
cated by  a  alight  depression  of  the 
grouad.  The  a|)proach  to  it  i»  hy 
an  ancient  gateway,  ttiat  of  the  outer 
precinct.  The  iuncj  inclosurt;  only 
can,  tiowever,  be  reckoned  a  fortress, 
or  rather  fortalicc,  surrutinding  a 
coortyard  of  about  Ihirly-five  yardjt 
ia  Ienf;th  from  cast  to  west,  eighteen 
io  breadth  from  north  to  south. 

Bir  John  Perrot  mode  considerable 
additions  to  the  building*,  which  gave 
it  more  of  the  air  of  a  baronial  houac 
than  a  military  stronghold.  Adjoin, 
iug  the  principal  tower  of  the  north- 
wcat  angle  he  threw  out  a  large  prnj^rt- 
iog gateway,  over  which  were  spacious 
apartmeota  ealighicDcd  by  bay  win- 
dows, Ilankfil  by  two  round  towers, 
between  which  dtiU  arises  a  pointed 
gable,  a  very  unmilitary  feature  ;  theee 
towers  arc  seco  in  the  extreme  lefl  of 
the  view  of  the  south  or  seaward  front 
of  the  castJe,  represented  in  the  en- 
giaving. 

The  &Te  of  the  parliament  forces  was 
directed  agatn&t  the  eastern  face  of  the 
building,  and  especially  on  a  circular 
toweratthcnorth-caAtanglciollicmas- 
aive  walUuf  which  it  iitade a hu^t>  breach 
— frapi  that  lower  to  the  south-west 
angle  the  curtaio  wall  has  been  entirely 
tcvelleil  and  rancd,  ^^  tha;  the  fortress 
wu  rendered  tjtiitc  .ntenahle  at  aoy 
future  lime ;  and  the  destruction  uf  its 
ajMiciou»  lodging  rooms  aod  hall  was 
moreuver  effected  by  fire.  Thcic  arc 
strong  indication*  of  revenge  for  a  gaU 
laot  rcaiatoiice.  The  battery  of  the 
Parltamcntannns,  of  a  semicircular 
form,  was  established  on  a  rising 
ground  about  seven  hundred  yards 
nortb-ca«t  of  the  Castle,  as  its  remains 
»lill  testify.  Many  of  the  cannon  balls

of  Mrs.  Starke  when  digging  in  thi 
site  nf  the  moat. 

I  have  said  of  Sir  J.  Perrot,  the  pos- 
sessor of  Laugharne  Castle  io  the 
sixteenth  century,  that  he  was  re- 
putcd  a  natural  son  of  Henry  VIII. 
and  coneequcntlyhalf- brother  of  Queea 
Elizabeth.  He  wa*i  ditttiuguishefl  by 
considerable  talents,  alloyed  by  a  cer- 
tain bluntncsaor  roughness  of  manner. 
Both  in  his  person  and  deportrucnt  he 
strongly  resembled  Ilcnr^'.  lie  was 
employed  aa  Lord  Deputy  of  Ire- 
land,  and  becBme  popular  in  the  I 
administration  of  that  office.  Sir  j 
Christopher  Hatton  conceived  a  jea-  | 
lousy  against  him,  and  he  was  im-  i 
peached  of  treason  on  very  doubtful 
and  insufTtcient  grounds.  liurlcigh 
was  greatly  avcr<»e  to  his  prosecution. 
Lord  llunsdon,  SirThomosBuckhurat, 
Sir  Robert  Cecil,  Sir  John  Fortcscue, 
Sir  John  VVolh-y,  &c.  were  consti- 
tuted cororai«sionera  for  his  trial  at 
Westminster,  and  the  constitution  of  a 
court  was  generally  iu  those  days  equal 
to  the  condemnation  of  thu  accused. 
He  was  charged  with  using  disre- 
spectful words  against  the  Queen, 
with  relieving  known  trutturs,  Homtsh 
priests,  &c.  with  holding  communica- 
tion with  the  Prince  of  Parma,  en- 
couraging the  rebellion  ofO'Rourke, 
and  other  Iri&h  malcontents.  He  de- 
fended his  expressions  relative  to  the 
Queen  aa  merely  proceeding  from  im- 
patience, not  from  a  malicious  or  dis- 
loyal heart.  He  denied  that  he  had 
given  any  criminal  patronage  to  pa- 
piitts,  being  moat  averse  to  Uicir  uer- 
nicious  doctrmes  ;  or  that  he  had  held 
any  correspondence  with  the  enemies 
of  the  Queen.  Tlicargumentsof  Pop- 
bom  the  Attorney-general  against  this 
gallant  Cambrian  were  too  effectual : 
he  was  found  guilty,  and  condemned 
tu  death. 

On  (putting  thelribanal  he  exclaimed 
"God's  death!  will  the  Queen  suffer 
her  brother  to  be  offered  up  a  sacrifice 
to  the  envy  of  his  frisking  *  advcr-

eariea  1*'  Burleigh  sbed  tears  at  Ihe 
flcotcnce.  nnil  the  Queen  herself  now 
frequently  praised  iUa  quality  uf  mercy 
anU  quoted  thnt  liecree  nrtbe  [Lmpcror 
Thcodosius,  "  Should  any  one  have 
itpnken  evil  of  the  Kmperor,  ifthrough 
levity  it  ought  to  be  despised,  if 
through  in>ianiLy  pitied,  if  through 
malice  forgiven."  The  Queen's  mercy, 
if  iotetided^  was  loo  long  delayed  to 
take  effect,  and  Perrot  expired  in  the 
Tower  in  September  1502,  six  monthfl 
after  hij  conviction.  His  lands,  which 
he  had  alienated  previous  to  hia  trial, 
were  suffered  to  deaccnd  to  his  son, 
who  had  espoused  the  sister  of  the 
Karl  of  Essex.* 

Sir  John  Perrot,  when  resident  in 
Wales,  wsH  frequently  eugaged  in  the 
prosecution  of  the  daring  and  ntrocinus 
pirates  who  at  that  time  infested  the 
Severn  sea,  and  In  amercing  the  in- 
habitants of  the  counties  of  Pembroke 
and  Caermarthen,  who  furnished  them 
with  provisions  or  purchased  of  them 
commodities  which  they  had  captured 
from  trading  vessels  or  carried  off  from 
lands  bordering  on  the  &ea-  coast. 
These  articles  consisted  chiefly  of  corn, 
beeves,  sheep,  and  salt.  An  original 
document,  of  which  an  extract  is  sub- 
joined, gives  particulars  of  some  of 
these  "water  thieves."

he  took  Mr.  George  Escott's  baik  of 
Btfdgntcr.  bound  for  France,  and 
made  him  and  hig  ram  prisoners;  the 
game  fate  attended  tLe  tr^ee!  of  one

thoaght  fit,  together  with  their  sails, 
abandoned  to  the  wild  itnpul&e  of  the 
waves,  and  they  were  shattered  to 
fragments  on  tJie  rucks  of  Lundy.

stones  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a 
quay  for  a  port  in  his  newly  acquired 
territory,  lie  divided  them  into  three 
several  companies,  lest  they  should 
utierapt  any  refractory  movement :  one 
portion  he  sent  to  an  islet  south  of 
Lnndy.  another  he  marched  to  the 
north  of  the  island,  four  miles  distant ; 
they  were  not  to  commiiiiicatc  with 
eocn  other  on  pain  of  death.  In  the 
evening  of  the  same  Sunday  a  Ftcroiiih 
ship  of  two  hundred  tons  burthea  from 
Rnchcltc,  laden  with  salt,  and  bound 
for  Bristol,  came  into  the  road  of 
Lundy.  Salkeld  sent  his  long  boat  off 
to  hcr.inelructing  (he  crew  to  Any  that 
she  belonged  to  a  king's^  ship,  and  to 
offer  to  feupply  her  with  a  pilot,  A

was  constrained  to  make  sail,  carrying 
with  hrr  a  few  of  Salkcld's  men.  A

Sir  Guy  Brian  to  Sir  John  Perrot,

M-a5  not  elTccled  without  opposition  on

Sir  John  Pcrrot  assured  to  the  bur- 
cs&cs  of  Laogharnc  one  annuity  or

The  Crown  resuming  possession  nf 
the  lordship  of  Lauyharne,  probably 
after  the  conviction  of  Sir  Juhn  Pcr- 
rot of  treasoni  the  above  rent  of 
9/,  C»>  8cJ.  long  remained  unpaid.  1 
fouad  among  the  muniuients  of  the 
corporation,  however,  livo  records 
that  successful  application  had  been 
made  by  the  burgesses  for  its  recovery. 
One  is  an  order  of  the  Court  of  Exche- 
quer of  the  time  of  James  I.  much  de- 
faced, for  the  future  payment  of  the 
said  rent  of  9'*  6ff.  BJ.  to  the  burgesses 
for  ever,  barring,  however^  any  claim 
by  them  fur  arrears. 


Another  order  of  Ihc  Court  of  Ex- 
chequer, dated  1  July,  in  the  5th  year 
of  the  reign  nf  Charles  II.  is  to  the 
same  eflcct.  I  could  not  learn  that  the 
rent  is  now  received,  and  the  humble 
corftorators  of  I^ugharnc  console 
themselves  with  traditions  of  their 
former  valuable  possesaions,  and  of 
the  lamentably  lapsed  position  of 
their  claims;  vague  complamls,  chiefly, 
perhaps,  arising  from  the  innovations 
made  by  Sir  John  PerroU 

The  lord  of  Lauftharnc  rendcr»,  I 
believe,  a  smalt  quit  rent  to  the  Crown. 
the  demand  of  which  for  many  years 
lay  dormant.  The  boundaries  of  the 
lord&hip  arc  perambulated  every  three 
years  by  the  burge&ses  with  much  ce- 
remony; the  circuit  is  said  to  be  up- 
warda  of  twenty  milrs.  A  cart  with

Ma.  Urdan, 

IN  the  account  of  the  family  of 
O'Conncll,  printed  la  Burke's  History 
of  the  Commoners,  there  are  several 
statements  which  seem  lo  dcraanil  a 
critical  notice.  The  details  wc  are 
Ihcre  told,  in  a  note,  were  derived  from 
family  papers,  confinncd  by  historical 
reft-renccs,  and  verified  by  accurate 
dates,  and  from  a  work  entitled  "  M^- 
inoires  Gi'iit'alogiqucs  dc  diverses  fa- 
milies qui  prctendcnt  aux  honncurs  dc 
la  Cour." 

Ft  does  not  seem  very  manifest  how 
family  papers  can  l>e  confirmed  by  his- 
torical references  (unless  hy  rererrnccs 
ia  meant  something  eilractod  fixiin, 
or  confirmed  by,  public  histories),  nor 
by  dates,  whicn  could  be  inserted  as 
easily  as  "  historical  references." 
However,  as  the  pedigree  contains 
those  "  references  "  and  dates,  T  shuH 
presently  examine  them  mote  par- 
ticularly. In  the  mean  time  wc  may 
observe  that  the  note  goes  on  to  state,

descent  io  foreign  orchivca  is  only  in- 
ainaateil.  But,  without  prcsumiog  to 
doubt  the  fact,  wc  may  fairly  wonder 
how  tbtf  ctoigr&liuo  of  thoKe  a«pirinf{ 
persons  should  have  commcmuraud  in 
foreign  archives  minute  facts  which 
had  previously  occurred  in  Ireland.

where  the  bofore-mcntioncd  work,  co- 
titlod  "  MciQoircsGencitlogiquc?.  &c." 
u  to  be  found,  and  wht-n  and  wlttic 
it  WAS  printed?  If  the  author  belonged 
to  a  former  generation  he  roust  hnve 
been  a  Kerry  man,  otherwise  he  could 
never  have  known  that  tlie  O'Cun- 
neils  were  no  "•prftmding." 

Ttie  pedigree,  after  stAting  in  gene- 
ral terms  the  original  history  of  the 
O'Couoells,  commences  the  Itue  with 
Hugh  O'Connell,  who,  wc  are  told, 
was  Joined  wilh  hi$  $inMi  in  a  cum*

1337.  empowejing  tiiem  lo  reduce

the  royo]  authority  had  been  utterly

this  mm  it  y,  and,  indeed,  in  alt  Mun-

loo,  the  n>lU  of  Chancery  contain  no 
mention  of  the  fact,  though  it  waa 
tiBual  to  enroll  all  such  commissions.

TIIE-  admiration  which  Goethe  ha^ 
acquired,  and  the  fame  he  has  merited 
from  the  emanations  of  his  genius, 
have  fully  entitled  him  to  be  difrtin- 
goiahcd  as  the  "prince  of  modern 
poetft." 

He  differs  from  the  poets  of  the 
present  day  in  the  physical  strength 
which  embodies  all  his  creations  ;  be 
hu  DO  recourse  to  the  subterfuge  of 
sympathy  whsre  the  authority  of  the 
judgment  claims  to  be  exercised.  He, 
In  truth,  has  held  "  the  mirror  up  to 
natur«/'  in  which  mau  is  justly  re- 
flected ;  his  artifices,  vices,  and  co- 
quetry are  fully  exposed,  while  all  his 
noble  qualities  are  aa  evtdeutly  deve- 
loped. 

'Httre  are  perhaps  but  few  poet^ 
who  enjoyi'd  aoch  an  expansive  con- 
ception, connected  witli  all  the  rich- 
neai  of  expression.  His  characters 
vt  In  all  instances  living,  and  the 
magic  wand  of  his  imagination  creates 
dramatic  action  in  all  its  delLoeations  ; 
from  theme  to  theme  the  reader  is  led 
CD  in  rapid  succession,  till  at  last  bis 
fiincyia  absorbed  in  ecstanyofdctight. 

Aa  Schiller  is  the  grrat  mostcr-poet

{>ainter  of  the  actual  world,  enriches  all 
lis  characters  with  the  attributes  of 
men  living  and  moving  in  a  toortd  of 
action. 

Goethe  is  no  Ipsa  remarkable  for 
hii  prose  compositions,  which  display 
great  weight  of  thought,  correct  rea- 
souing,  and  an  enlarged  knowledge  of 
human  nature,  combined  with  reading 
of  the  mo6t  extensive  description,  lo 
some  instances  it  is  true  that  his  views 
and  remarks  may  be  deemed  by  some 
tnjudicions  ;  but  at  the  same  time  we 
should  recollect  that  a  man  who  ho- 
nestly gives  his  opinion,  is  morecom- 
mendaMe  than  one  who,  under  tho 
nuuk  of  candour,  suppreaaes  his  real 
aeolimenta. 

In  whatever  light  we  Tlnr  him, 
whether  as  a  philosopher,  poet,  or 
dramatist,  we  always  And  him  grfat,

That  the  society  of  such  a  man 
should  be  courted,  and  that  his  say- 
ings should  be  deemed  important,  \m 
a  matter  r)r  no  a»toniRhtnent ;  and  as 
Johnson  had  his  ISoifWfll,  so  did 
Goethe  have  his  Eckcrman.    To  this

[Oct. 


rlistinguiBhed  writer  we  are  indebtwl 
for  mauy  relatione  of  Goi-lhe,   whicb 
would  otherwise  Imve  perished.     He 
possessed  lh«  entire  contidence  of  this 
truly  great  man,  aDdUcconnnissioned 
him  with  iho   entire  revision  of  hi» 
complete    works.      Such     a     labour 
brought  him  continually  into  the  pre- 
aeuce  of  Goethe,  and  produced  confi- 
denttat  conferences  j  and   M.   Eckcr- 
mon  therefore  jtcnned  down  all  that 
lie  deemed  valuable,  from  the  lip*  of 
Goethe  himself.     These  conversations 
acquire  additional  importance,  as  they 
have  in  most  instancei  for  their  oh- 
jecta  the    ctrcumfltancea,    characters, 
and  works  of  contemporary  writers. 

In  order  that  the  reader  may  form 
a  correct  judgment  of  the  jirimte 
aetitiroents  of  Goethe,  we  propose 
in  the  subseriuent  pages  to  make  ex- 
tracts from  his  writings  of  such  por- 
tions as  appear  to  be  the  most  popular 
and  interesting  to  an  English  reader. 
Goethe's  Conversations,  as  collected  by 
Eckerman,  form  a  supplement  to  his 
other  published  Works.  In  our  se- 
lections we  shall  generally  givo  the 
preference  to  his  opinions  on  men 
and  things,  instead  of  selecting  his 
maxims  and  literary  theories,  to  be 
foand  among  his  other  writings.  It 
is  an  old  remark,  that  truth  has  many 
faces,  but  this  is  more  in  appearance 
than  in  fact. 

It  must  he  borne  in  mind  that 
Goethe,  in  these  conversalions,  throws 
tiff  his  character  as  a  pnblic  man.* 
It  is  also  lu  be  recollcclcd  that  they 
are  (ipinions  advanced  by  on  octoge- 
narian ;  and  they  display  she  astonish- 
ing strength  of  his  mental  faculties^ 
even  at  that  advanced  period  of  life. 


/'row  and  I'rrar. — "  In  order  to 
write  prose  well,  the  individual  must 
Itave  aomcthing  tu  advance  ;  but  he

reality  of  ibe  fact  shtiold  alwaya  fur-

business  of  the  artist  is,  or  ought  to 
be,  to  mould  into  form  that  which 
will  produce  the  beautiful  and  the 
harmonious." 

SchiUvr.—"  In  eterjr  respect  Schillw 
was  of  that  noble  and  digniGed  bearing, 
graced  by  a  countenance  and  features 
of  a  remaikable  quality,  that  indicated 
a  being  of  the  higher  order  of  exia- 
tence.    The  piercing  yet  soft  expres- 
sion of  hi?  eyes  animated  and  per- 
fected the  whole  contour.     His  great 
talents  resembled  his  eiternal  appear- 
ance.    In  the  varied  subjects  to  which 
he  directed  his  mind,  he  rigidly  exa- 
mined them  in  all  their  intricate  va- 
rieties, and  in   every  point  of  view. 
It  may  be  urged,  and  perhaps  with 
some  degree    of  propriety,    that   he 
only  studied  his  subjects  as  be  found 
them  admitted  by  common  consent, 
and  did  not  with  philosophical  calm- 
ness scrutinize  the  inward  oper&tiona 
of  the  human  mind  :  this  was  ool  his 
business  as    a   mere   pcwt.      Perhaps 
this  species  of  erratic    feeling    ia    in 
some   measure  accounted  for  in    his 
not   giving  a  finishing  stroke  to  his 
compositions    when    ortgiaatly    com- 
posed.     In    several   of  his  dramas  he 
frequently    changed    the    r6le  at  the 
very   niorocnt  of  its    rehearsal.      All 
the  characters  of  his  pieces  are  boldly 
conceivi'il  and  executed,  and  are  enll> 
vt-ned  by  appropriate  incidents,  and 
with  all   tho»e  dramatic  peculituitica 
calculated  to  produce  fitagc  effect.     Id 
this  reaped  my  pieces  ate  deficient, 
and  on  th;it  account  are  not  adapted 
to  the  theatre  ;    but  Schiller's  talent, 
on  the  olher  liand,  seems  as  if  it  wai 
created  entirely  fur    the    stage.      In

Goethe's  Table  Talk. 


363 


"  Schiller  at  the  en  J  of  every  eight 
days  Beemed,  aa  it  were,  to  be  another 
and  a  more  perfect  man ;  every  time 
I  had  the  pleasure  of  meeting  him 
he  appeared  more  inatracted,  more 
learned,  and  bis  genius  more  fully 
developed,  as  well  as  his  judgment 
more  vigorous.  The  most  beautiful 
and  the  most  valuable  present  I  ever 
received  from  him  are  his  Letters :  they 
may  be  truly  classed  among  his  best 
productions ;  and,  aa  it  respects  myself, 
I  value  them  as  precious  reliques.  We 
may  truly  say  that  he  was.  upon  the 
whole,  a  magnificent  being  i  but,  alas  ! 
he  died  in  the  plenitude  of  his  great- 
ness, and  in  the  full  manhood  of  his 
strength. 

"The  Grand  Duke  of  Saxe  Weimar 
gave  him  a  pension  of  one  thousand 
dollaia  yearly,  which  was  to  be  dou- 
bled in  case  of  sickness.  Schiller,  in 
the  nobleness  of  his  spirit,  refused 
this  kind  consideration  on  the  part  of 
the  Duke,  assigning  as  the  reasons  the 
following  sentiments  :  '  I  am  gifted  by 
nature  with  some  degree  of  talent, 
and  must  therefore  endeavour  to  sup- 
port myself  by  this  gift.'  Unfortu- 
nately for  him  in  one  sense,  as  his 
family  increased  he  was  compelM  to 
write  two  tragedies  annually  for  their 
support:  day  and  night  were  his 
whole  energies  exercised,  and  his 
physical  strength  sunk  under  the 
weight  of  mental  exertion.  Such  was 
the  activity  of  his  mighty  mind  ! 

"  Schiller  was  always  a  temperate 
roan,  as  it  has  been  elsewhere  re- 
marked ;  but  at  certain  moments  of 
bodily  feebleness  he  had  recourse  to 
the  use  of  wine,  for  the  purpose  of 

£  reducing  physical  force  and  energy ; 
ut.  unfortunately  for  him,  the  use  of 
these  artificial  means  was  only  of  a 
momcnUry  advantage ;  they  insi- 
diously undermined  his  already  weak- 
ened constitution,  not  only  his  bodily 
strength,  but  also  enfeebled  his  power- 
ful mental  energies." 

•*  The  Germans  like  to  find  in  a 
work  something  serious — elevation, 
and  iwur  pltnitude ;  it  is  for  that  very 
reason  that  they  place  Schiller  so  high 
in  the  rank  of  their  estimation,  as  it 
generally  happens  that  the  peculiar 
character  of  an  author  influences  the 
pablic  more  than  all  the  charms  of 
hit  geniu  or  ttlcnU    Napoleon  said 


of  Coroeille  :  '  Were  he  alive.  I  shoold 
like  to  make  him  a  Prince ;'  of  Racine 
he  did  not  so  speak.  It  is  for  this 
reason  that  Lafontaine  is  so  highly 
venerated  in  France ;  his  works,  be- 
sides their  poetical  merit,  bear  the 
stamp  of  a  high  and  noble  character." 
Poetry. — "  In  speaking  of  the  poeta 
of  the  present  day,  I  cannot  help  say- 
ing that  they  appear  to  me  as  if  they 
were  all  diseased,  and  as  speaking  of 
this  world  as  if  it  were  one  vast  hos- 
pital ;  all  are  delineating  the  griefs 
and  sufferings  of  this  existence,  in 
contrast  with  the  one  that  is  to  come. 
This,  in  my  opinion,  is  censurable,  aa 
itis  the  means  of  producing  discontent. 
In  my  mind,  it  is  truly  profanation, 
as  the  chief  end  of  poetry  is  to  recon- 
cile man  with  the  calamities  andstorma 
of  human  life  and  his  position  in  so- 
ciety :  but  the  present  poetical  gene- 
ration is  afraid  of  the  truth,  and  never 
feel  comfortable  but  when  they  shelter 
themselves  in  this  their  weakness.  I 
have  found  a  proper  character  for  these 
gentlemen, — I  shall  call  their  poetry 
the  poeirtf  of  the  ho»pital.  That  is 
the  pocTBY  which  1  consider  really 
worthy  of  the  name,  which  sings  of 
combats,  which  throws  moral  courage 
into  the  soul  of  man.  and  which  I 
shall  designate  by  the  term  Tgrtaa^ 
poetry." 

The  march  ofinteUect. — "  This  is  not 
the  age  to  be  in  error ;  it  was  some- 
what pardonable  in  the  ancients. 
What  purjwse  would  all  our  re- 
searches answer,  if  young  people  were

we  arc  in  some  measure  somewhat 
excusable  in  our  errors,  because  we 
have  not  shaken  off*  the  old  leaven ;

more  from  those  who  come  after  ua

one  of  those  great  characters  which 
are  seldom  to  be  met  with.  Europe  in

merit.  I  knew  him  persoDally.  and 
have  had  the  honour  of  spending  a 
summer  with  him  at  a  watering  place 
at  Maricobad  in  Bohemia,  lie  wa^ 
then  a  handsome  man  of  about  43,

can  easily  account  for  when  we  con.

is  duvottul  to  Italian  poetry,  and  is  a 
proficient  in  that  language,  into  which 
lie  hea  trao&lated  several  English

not  always  been  fortunate.  He  resents 
with  warmth  Lhc- imputation  ofbavini;

Ikeogh  thff  denial  has  couvinced  no

and  must  have  been  very  difHcuU  to

baTe  been  more  pleased  with  the  sight 
than  Malbias  was.  and  he  went  away 
fully  impressed  with  a  high  opinion 
of  our  cook's  abitittet!. 

SiE  W.  DatTMMON-D  &  Sill  W.  Gell. 

I  have  rarely  met  with  bo  gifled 
a  person  as  Sir  William  Drummond, 
who  dined  with  us  yesterday.  To  a 
profound  erudition  in  classical  lore,  be 
joins  a  great  variety  of  other  know- 
ledge, being  an  adept  in  modern  lite- 
raturcj  mioeralog)*,  chemistry,  and 
astronomy.  The  treasures  of  his  ca- 
pacious  mind  are  broQe;bt  into  action 
in  bis  conversation,  which  is  at  once 
erudite,  brilliant,  and  playful.  To 
these  c|uali£cations  for  forming  a 
dvlightful  companion  be  adds  a  good 
breeding,  which,  while  it  jKissesses 
all  the  politfsse  of  la  viriilr  eour,  hat 
nothing  of  its  cold  ceremoDiousness. 
His  mind  is  so  thoroughly  imbued 
with  classical  imager.',  that  his  con- 
versation might  be  deemed  a  little 
pedantic,  were  it  not  coutinualty  im- 
bued by  flashes  of  an  imagination  so 
fertile  and  a  fancy  so  brilliant,  that 
these  natural  endowments  throw  into 
shade  the  acquired  ones  %vith  which 
o  life  of  study  ha^  enriched  bim.  It  is- 
very  amusing  to  observe  the <li(rer('nre 
tliateiiidts  between  tlie  mindtinrSir  W, 
Drummond  and  his  friend  Sir  \V.  Gell. 
I^atofthc  fir&t.  elevated  and  refioed  to

prevent  from  bt'ing  perceptible  to 
those  who  an  t|uick-bigbled.    That 


of  the  other,  not  elevated  by  ill  ereat 
arquirements,  but  reDderrng  them 
snbiservient  to  the  bent  of  his  hu- 
mour, converts  them  into  subjects  of 
raillery  and  ridicule,  very  nf^en  poig* 
nant,  and  always  droll.  The  heroes 
of  ftntiqnity,  when  referred  to  by  Sir 
W.  Drumraoud,  are  invested  with  new 
dignity;  but  when  alluded  to  by  Sir 
W.  Gell  are  travestied  so  comically  ai 
to  become  almost  ludicrous.  So  far 
from  posacKsing  the  morbid  fastidious- 
neas  of  his  friend  with  respect  lo  his 
associate;;,  Gell,  though  he  can  appre- 
ciate superior  minds,  can  find  pleasure 
in  a  contest  with  the  most  inferior, 
and  by  eliciting  the  ridiculous  points 
of  their  characters,  render  them  sub- 
jcrt?  of  amnsement.  His  drollery  Is 
irresistible,  and  what  renders  it  more 
poignant  is  the  grave  expression  of  bis 
countenance,  which  maintains  its  se- 
riousness while  those  around  him  are 
eicited  to  laughter  by  the  comicality 
of  his  sallies.  He  views  every  object 
through  the  medium  of  ridicule  and 
as  a  subject  for  pleasantry.  Even  his 
own  infirmities  are  thus  treated  by 
bim  ;  so  that  be  may  really  lay  claim 
to  the  character  of  a  laughing  philo- 
sopher, if  be  cannot  arrogate  the  more 
elevated  one  of  a  profound  thinker. 
•  •  I  have  become  so  accustomed 
to  see  my  kind  and  excellent  friends 
Sir  W.  Gell  and  Drummond  continu- 
ally, that  the  loss  of  their  society  will 
be  felt  as  a  aevere  privation,  whenever 
I  sustain  it.  Drurnmond's  is  one  of 
the  most  highly  cultivated  mioda 
imaginable,  and  his  convemation  tcct&a 
with  instruction  so  happily  conveyed* 
M  to  impress  itself  deeply  on  the  me- 
mory. I  count  it  one  uf  the  greatcal 
advantages  of  my  sr;V;ur  at  Naples  to 
have  enjoyed  6o  much  the  society  of 
this  remarkable  man,  and  to  have  in- 
spired him  with  a  friendship  that  will, 
I  feel  Cfi'tttin,  continue  white  he  lives.

Lord  Dudley  increase  with  age.  and 
sometimes  assume   so  questionable  n 
ahape  aa  to  eicite  doubts  of  his  sanity 
in  ray  mind.    These  doubts   are  not,

Botwitlistaudiug  tlint  he  etliibit;  proofs 
of  aberration  of  intellect  too    palpable 
not  to  be  noticed.     But  the  trutJi  is, 
that  a  man  with  forty  thou&und  pounds

and  good  dinners,  must  be  03  mad  as

liOrd  Dudley  took  \xi  yesterday  to  see 
the  Villa  Gallo  at  Capo  <li  Monte,  the 
pleasure  grounds  of  which  are  ()aitc 
beautiful,  presenting  all  the  varieties 
of  hill  and  dale,  with  rustic  bridges 
spanning  limpid  streams,  and  grottoes 
of  large  dimen.tions  olTering  delicious 
retreats  from  the  garish  and  too  fervid 
beams  of  the  &uu.     Many  of  the  plants 
to  be  found  only  in  hothouses  with  us, 
grow  here  luxuriantly  to  the  open  air  ;

are  contrastetl  by  a  palm  tree  of  great 
beauty,  whicli    imparts    an   oriental

rise  over  terraces,  tilled  with  tlowrr-

niiv  irritabih.  The  troth  is,  that  though 
gifted  with  a  very  gtowiot;  imfLjiiina- 
tioD,  and  a  deeply  reflecting  mind, 
M.  de  la  Martine  has  been  called  on 
to  act  a  prominent  part  in  the  scenes 
of  actnu  and  bnsy  life,  which  boa 
compelled  him  to  exercise  his  reasoning 
faculties,  aa  much  as  his  genius  has 
led  to  the  exertion  of  his  imaginative 
ones.  Hence  he  presents  the  not 
common  union  of  a  clever  man  of  bu- 
siness, a  well-bred  man  of  society,  and 
a  poet,  and  appears  to  ndvantage  in  all 
'  theae  r-<?/p*.  He  la  very  well. disposed 
towards  the  EugUah,  and,  no  wonder, 
for  he  is  the  husband  of  nn  [Cngtish 
lady*  said  to  be  possessed  of  so  many 
estimable  qualities,  as  to  give  a  fa- 
vourable imprefisionofhercompatriots. 
He  has  a  tittle  daughter,  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  children  ever  beheld, 
with  eyes  luatroua  and  limtd  as  those 
of  a  gazelle,  and  a  countenance  beam- 
ing with  sensibility  and  radiant  with 
beauty.  Imagination  coonot  picture 
aoythiflg  more  lovely  than  this  child, 
on  whom  her  father  doteii.  M.  de  la 
Martine  is  exemplary  in  his  domestic 
Ufc ;  ofrcriog  a  proof  of  the  falsehood 
of  the  opinion  ofleu  expressed.— that 

Eocts  are  not  calculated  to  make  good 
asbands.  The  poot  improves  on 
acquaintance,  for  he  has  a  miod  over- 
flowing with  information,  and  af^ncy 
ever  teeming  with  beautiful  imagery ; 
and  all  these  rich  nnd  rare  acquisitions 
gleam  forth  rather  than  arc  displayed 
in  his  conversation,  which  never  seerue 
to  have  for  its  object  the  desire  of 
shining.  A  deep  religious  sentiment 
is  discoverable  in  M.  de  la  Marline,  to 
which  may  be  traced  many  pa3»age4 
in  thosu  poetical  eflusionii,  that  appeal 
with  such  earnestness  to  the  heart; 
but  this  sentiroeat  is  wholly  free  from 
bigotry,  and  has  nothing  in  it  austere 
or  repulsive.  Altogether  he  is  a  de- 
lightful companion  na  well  as  a  very 
gifted  poet,  and  is  formed  to  be  as 
much  esteemed  in  society  as  his 
worki  are  admired  in  the  study.

figure  of  the  Bishop  under  atriple  caoo. 
py,  the  whole  surmounted  by  an  arch 
supported  by  open  fehafts  containing 
niches    filled    with  figures  of  saints. 
At  some   tlintant   [wriod   one   of  the 
&baf\jii,  and  moat  of  the  small  figures, 
were  lost ;  and  in  this  stntc  it  ts  sera 
engraved   in  Harding's  work,  antl  so 
remained  till   the  late  Coronation,  a 
short  time  previous  to  which  we  took 
an  impression  of  it.     The  mutilation 
now  spoken  of,  and  which  has  reduced 
tlie  brass  to  a  mere  wreck,  consist*  of 
the  lower  part  of  the  Bishop's  figure, 
with  a  considerable   portion  of   the 
remnant  of  the  canopy,  and  the  only 
remaining  figure,  St.  iJohn  the  Bvan- 
gelist.      It   appears  this   destruction 
was   committed   by  some    of  the  la- 
bourers engaged  in  removing  the  scaf- 
foldings, and  who  earned  o^  the  frag- 
ments; ou  expresetug  surprise  to  the 
Tcrger  that  so  wanton  an  act  should 
have  been  permitted  to  paas   unno- 
ticed, what  woi  the  answer  ? — that  the 
Abbey  was  at  the  time  under  this  abso- 
lute control   of  the  government,    and 
therefore    IhoM  whose  duty  it  U  to 
attend  to  the  preservation  of  the  mo- 
numents  had    the  jurisdiction  taken 
out  of  their  hands :  they  were    even 
unable    to    gain    admittance  them- 
selves, except  OB  a  special  favor.  This 
we  believe  is  always  the  case  on  like 
occasions  ;  but  is  it  not  a  disgraceful 
neglect  on  the  part  of  the  authorities 
that  there  was   no    proper  officer  in 
attendance  to  present  any  Apolintionf 
It  is   on  extremely  injuilicious  thing 
that  the  care  of  the   Fabric   should*

they  last  be  rompelM  not  only  lo 
make  rcttttulion,  but  mHo  to  foci  the 
seventy  of  the  law- 

In  tiie  course  of  our  country  ram- 
bles 1  linvo  met  with  so  many  in- 
AtAnct'a  of  dcatniction  occasioned  ia 
a  similar  manner,  that  I  must  Ititreat 
the  aiii  of  your  voice  in  attrring  up  a 
fccliog  fur  the  preservation  of  theae 
beauUful  relics  of  tbc  past.  At  Car- 
•halton,  Surrey.  GilliDgbun^aDil  Gra- 
veney,  Kent^  brasses  have  been  stolen 
within  the  last  three  or  four  years  by 
workmen ;  at  Faveraham.  about  ten 
yoara  ago,  tbc  fiaeet  wore  almu&t  en- 
lirdy  destroyed  in  t}ie  same  way— in 
thia  case,  however,  not  with  impunity. 
Many  brasses  in  Norfolk,  engraved  by 
Cotmon,  are  not  now  to  be  found  or 
heard  of;  but  I  will  only  particutarixe 
the  spteodid  and  well  known  one  of 
Sir  Hugh  Hastings,  at  RUiog,  which 
has  snflered    in    its   raoat   interesting 

garts  ainceCarUr'i  time  (fur,  although 
otmac  engraves  it  just  as  perfect,  it 
ia  as  probable  he  merely  resloced  the 
IoaC  ports  by  reference  to  the  former 
mgravingj  the  present  clerk  having 
only  seen  it  in  its  existing  state  for 
many  yeoTBl. 

The  great  cause  of  all  this  mUchicf, 
esperially  in  country  churches,  i*  the 
too  easy  manner  in  which  the  build- 
ing ntay  be  entered  by  visitors  and 
workmen.  No  stranger  or  labourer 
should  ever  be  permitted  to  remain  in 
the  church  aloDt.*.  unhat  locktil  in,  a 
practice  no  one  cfio  object  to  who  goes 
with  hone»t  intention;?. 

Having  diligently  studied  these  rao- 
namentfe  ia  every  particular,  I  main- 
tain that  they  may  be  ranked  in  the 
very  first  class  of  interesting  and  use- 
ful raemohals :  whether  we  refer  to 
them  for  the  elucidation  of  costume, 
for  heraldic  aud  historical  infor- 
mation, or  as  illustrations  of  the  arts 
of  design  and  engraving  (points  not 
sufficiently  considered),  brasses  are 
invaluable  in  aiTording  the  necessary 
information ;  and  yet  they  arc  daily  dis- 
appear^iitg,  from  the  neglect  of  easy 
precautions  on  the  part  of  those  in- 
tni»tcd  with  their  preservation.  Nc- 
verlheleas,  one  would  have  thought 
that  WcBtaii&dtcr  Abbey,  the  grand 


repository  of  national  monuments, 
would  it)  X\i\%  agv,  at  least,  hnt-e  h«ea 
preserved  from  spoliation.

THE  Family  of  DeVere.  which  came 
over  to  Englanil  with  William  the 
Conqueror,  became  one  of  the  mmt 
illuslriouia  in  the  English  Peerage  :  it 
was  feuppoacd  to  tuvc  become  ex- 
tinct with  the  20th  Earl  of  Oiford>  in 
the  reign  of  Queen  Anne,  and  it  is  not 
generally  koowu  that  ttierc  appeared 
in  the  reigu  of  George  HI.  a  claimant 
of  the  Kartdom,  in  the  person  of  a 
Vcrc,  who  kept  a  china  shop  on  Tower 
Hill.  The  pa[>crs  were  laid  before  the 
Attorney -General,  who  was  favour- 
able to  the  claim  ;  but  the  loss  of  his 
only  son,  whom  he  intended  for  the 
profession  of  arms,  like  the  former 
possessors  of  that  truly  noble  name, 
induced  the  father  tu  abandon  the  pro- 
secution of  an  empty  title. 

Some  doubt  has  arisen  as  to  the  spot 
from  whence  the  Dc  Veres  had  their 
origin,  there  being  two  parishea"  in 
Lower  Normandy  of  the  name  of  Ver; 
but  the  learned  antiquary,  Mons.dc 
Gcrville  of  Valognes,  decides  in  favour 
of  Ver,  ncor  Gavmy,  in  the  arrondissc- 
meot  of  Coutance,  as  he  finds  that,  by 
the  Red  Uook  of  the  Exchequer,  temp. 
Hen.  H.,  "  Rad'us  de  V^er  debet 
sei'vit,  1  milit.  in  Ball ivo  tie  Gaveyro;" 
and  in  the  book  of  the  fiefs  of  Philip 
Augustus,  occurs  "  Guliolmus  de  Ver, 

& dcbcnt  servilium  trium  milit. 

etdim.  od  custofliam  Gavray." 

The  De  Veres^  like  other  followers  of 
the  Conqueror,  devoted  part  of  the 
wealth  acquired  in  England  to  the  en- 
dowment of  the  monasteries  of  their 
native  country,  and  in  the  catalogue  of 
tho  "  Chartcs"  lately  publibhcd  in  the 
Memoiri*  of  the  Society  of  Antiquaries 
of  Normandy,  vol.  8,  p.  187,  No.  lOS. 
is  the  title  of  a  charter,  by  (which 
Alberic  de  Vere,  Earl  of  Oxford,  in 
1239.  grants  to  Juliana,  abbess  of  the 
Holy  Trimly,  all  the  rights  which  he 
had  in  the  land,  in  the  parishes  of 
{•"rUted  Sf  ifohtfti  in  Kni/hwl ,  oo

on  the  Bayeux  TapCAtry.  it  tuay  be 
I  d««irable  to  return  fur  an  instant  to 
I  the  meta  prima  of  the  argument. 

Holt  «  c«atury  hai    elapsed  since 
Mr.  Gough  dMlared  it  lobearfproocA 
t0  u»  at  a  naliau  that  we  hod  not  pro< 
cured  accurate  drawing*  and  iliiistra- 
iiomM  of  the  Tap«aCry  at  Bayeux  ;  I  and 
the  reproach  is  atilt   in   part  applica- 
ble.    Now,  to  lix  the  dat«  of  itii  <fxe. 
cation  ou  the  beat  evidence,  appears 
to  bv  an  important  step  in  itiuatralion 
of  it.     The  evidence   may    either  be 
biatarical,  or  traditiunal,  or  interoaJ ; 
or  it  coay  bu  a  combioatioa  of  the 
three  apeciea  of  evidence. 
The  hiatorical  evidence  is  defective. 
The  Inventoriea  of  1369  and  M76 
(Mr.  Kempi'  has    incorrectly  stated'^ 
that  [  have  cited  tLe^rj(  record  of  it« 
existence  in  the  latter  year.)  prove  the 
existence  of  the  niooumeul  at  those 
periods  j  but  they  furnish  no  iofomia- 
tiOD  OQ  it*  origin.      The   traditional 
evidence  is  abll  more  unsatisfactory. 
The   tradition   which    ascribes    it   to 
Matilda   has   been  adopted,    without 
sufficient    caution,    by    some  of  oar 
eminent  antiquaries ;  but  is,  in   fact, 
mere  modern  chit-chat.     Tlie  iatcrool 
evidence  presents  a  much  wider  field 
of  inquiry.     Its  conformity  with  the 
ancient  historians — the    language  of 
the    inscriptions — the    forma    of  the 
letters  —  the     architecture,     armour, 
weapoosj  dress,  &e.  represcntevl — the 
ehanicur  of  the  ornaments,  the  style 
of  execution,  fcc.  should  be  carefully 
considered.     The  process  would   re- 
quire  artistical    assistance ;    modem 
art  should    be  invited    to    contribute 
towards  ttie  illustration  of  ancient  art. 


1  DOW  only  propose  to  comment  on 
such  pnrtions  of  the  former  and  latter 
objectiooa  of  Mr.  Ksmpk  as  seem 
especially  to  demand  notice  ;  and  to 
indicate,  in  coociusion,  certain  avail- 
able materials,  which  may  assist  future 
inquiries. 

Mr.  Kempe  has  remarked.  | 

"TbMC  da(n  [coBtiime,  &c.]  are  so 
certdiiily  inciioBtivc  of  the  ix--rioJ  uf  any 
pu'ticular  work  of  ut  in  the  Miitdle  As«t 
that  we  think  we  safrly  cballeug«  Mr. 
Comcy  to  produce  a  single  exception  to 
the  contrary."    A.  J.  K* 

It  is  possible,  1  conceive,  to  produce  ' 
an  instance  in  very  close  conne&ion 
with  the  subject  of  the  Tapestry. 
Robert,  eldest  sou  of  William  the  Con- 
queror, died  in  1134.  "  Inccenobio," 
says  Orderic  Vital,  "  Monachorum  S. 
Petri  Apostoli   Glouccstrix  tumulatua 

auiescit."*  Sandford  gives  a  view  of 
le  monomeat  as  it  existed  in  16C6  ;* 
and  Stothard  gives  an  etching  of  the 
oak  effigies.*  The  costume  (a  suit  of 
chain  mail  with  a  plain  surcost)  is  that 
of  the  tKtlfth  century  ;  but  the  air  of 
the  figure,  and  its  style  of  execution. 
ore  much  more  modern,  Gough  con- 
ceives that  "  its  materials  bespeak  its 
antiquity  ;"  '  but  that  is  no  valid  ur- 
gumeut.  Sandford  says,  that  the 
monument  bore  the  arms  of  France 
and  England  quarterly,  which  would 
prove  it  to  be  of  the  fomrtecntti  cen- 
tury ;  T  and  Leland  says,  "  Rob'**  Cur. 
thotse,  Sonne  to  K.  William  the  Con- 
qucrour,  lyeth  in  the  midle  of  the 
Fresbitery.  There  is  on  his  tombe  an 
image  of  wood  paynled,  moife  Umg*

"  It  is  no  evidence,  at  Mr.  Coraey 
thinks  It  rosy  be,  againn  the  autiqiutj  of

of.£sopian  fables  in  the  relic  could 
therefore  be  no  ronfinuatiou  of  its  an- 
tiquity. 

With  respect  to  "the  Friinci  de 
Kent,"  flee.  Mr.  Kempe  avoids  llic 
real  slate  of  the  question.  Would  the 
Normans,  before  the  union  with 
France,  have  called  themKelves  Fraacif 
On  that  iKjint  1  have  produced  ample 
evidence.  The  Knglish.  if  I  may  ad- 
vance a  neic  covjeelure,  called  the  Ni>r- 
rnans,  the  French,  &c.  hVanci — on  ac- 
count  oflhe  identity  of  their  looguagc. 
So  we  call  the  Saxons,  the  Bavarians, 
&c.  Gerpiam,  but  a  native  of  Soxouy 
would  call  himself  a  Soinn. 

Mr.  Ketnpe  cenaurea  mv  practice  of 
writing  Odon.  The  bishop  was  a 
Norman  by  birth,  but  ib  a  conspicu- 
ous character  in  Enalish  history.  We 
may,  therefore,  wili  equal  propriety, 
adopt  the  Nnrman  or  the  EttKlish 
mode  of  writing  bis  name.  Odo  is 
neither:  it  la  the  name  Latinized.  The 
Norman  mode,  which  1  hare  adopted, 
is  Odon.  Robert  of  Gloucebtcr  had 
CWtf,  which  is  the  true  "  Knglitth 
historic  Mylc;"  but  it  roigbt  sound 
rather  ludicrous  to  talk  <\Uhr  cftfbraUd 
Ode.  Tlic  inference  which  Mr.  Kempc 
draws  as  to  the  name  of  Uie  Conqueror 
is  overstrained.  The  Conqueror,  in 
his  Auglo-Sajiou  cbarlcrs,  calls  him- 
self mUiam/ 

"They  [the  cbrontcVTs  of  the  cunqucMj

A.  J.  K. 

Mr.  Kempc,  in  the  above  remarks, 
has  been  very  unjust  towards  William 
of  I'oitiera — 1 .  by  roisnaming  him  ;  2. 
by  mifireprescnting  him ;  and  3.  by 
misquoting  him. 

1.  William  of  Poitiers  was  a  natire 
of  Normandy,  not  of  Poitoa.  He  waa 
called  William  of  Poitiers  because  be 
had  sludied  at  Poitiers.  "Pictavt- 
nua/'  says  Ordcric  Vital,  "autcm  djc- 
tus  est,  quia  Pictavis  fonte  t*bilo«o- 
phico  ubcrtim  imbutus  est."* 

3.  I  contend,  in  opposition  to  Mr. 
Kempc,  that  Wtlliani  of  Poitiers  is  the 
best  and  most  tainule  hihtorian  of  the 
Conquest.  Such  wa&  the  opinion  of 
William  of  Jumi^ges,  and  of  Orderic 
Vital  1^  and  I  believe  there  is  no  his- 
torian of  that  age  who  would  be  more 
acceptable  to  the  public  io  an  English 
dress.  I  shall  give  a  specimen  of  hia 
narrative, — not  a  passage  selected  for 
the  purpose,  but  the  very  paragraph 
which  contains  the  words  cited  by 
Mr.  Kempc.  He  is  describing  tlic 
array  of  Duke  Williara  .—

3.  Now  comes  the  serious  part  of 
the  charge.  How  could  Mr.  Kcmpe 
venture  to  produce  the  mutilatku

RETROSPECTH^  REVIEW. 


Old  French  Poetry,     TAe  Carlovingian  Romawea.* 

AT  the  present  day,  we  ci>nceive,  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  tell  any  of  our 
raadcrs  that  the  greater  portion  of  the  early  metrical  romance*  may  be  ranged 
in  two  distinct  classes,  those  which  have  for  their  subject  the  exploits  of 
Arthur  and  Ills  Knights  of  the  Round  Table,  and  thoae  which  celebrate  the 
deeds  of  Cliarleinugnc  and  his  family.  Dut  many  learned  men  have  discussed, 
and  still  discuss,  without  any  satisfactory  result,  the  barren  question  of  the 

{iriorily  in  point  of  origin  of  one  of  these  classes  over  the  other.  The  question 
las,  indeed,  in  itself  something  incongruous;  a  slight  acquaintance  with  the  early 
history  of  the  people  is  enough  to  couviuce  us  that  these  two  romance  cycles  were 
engendered  siroultanoousiy  by  the  aboriginal  mythic  traditions  of  different 
races;  and  it  finally  resolves  itself  into  the  secondary  question  as  to  which  of 
these  cycles,  in  its  present  form,  first  became  widely  popular.  Setting  aside 
the  want  of  documents  to  clear  up  such  a  point,  the  question  is  perhaps  not 
more  congruous  than  the  other:  in  all  probability,  the  two  cycles  were  formed 
nearly  contcmparaneuusly  among  the  difTcrcnt  races  to  which  they  belonged, 
«nd  the  su{>erior  popularity  of  either  depended  upon  accidental  circumstances, 
and  varied  in  different  places.  In  France,  tht!  national  traditions  were  en- 
tirely those  of  tlieir  own  royal  races  ;  the  Carlovingian  romances  were  for 
ages  almost  exclusively  popular.  In  Kngland,  after  the  conquest,  this  cycle 
accDU  to  have  been  introduced  by  the  Normans,  and  that  of  Arthur  by  the 
Bretons,  nearly  at  the  daiuc  time;  hut  the  latter  l)ecame  located  here,  owing 
to  the  adinity  claimed  by  the  Welsh  with  the  Bretons,  and  it  almost  evctaded 
the  others  from  our  island.  In  France,  as  far  as  we  can  now  trace  them  by 
Ihu  monuments  which  remain,  these  romances  first  took  ibcir  place  in  litera- 
ture in  the  Latin  story  of  KunccvauK.  which  goes  under  the  name  of  Turpia  ;

ID  Ihe  famouB  hi«tnry  of  the  Britone,  by  Geoffrey  of  Mooraoulh, 

It  is  trae,  that  the  earliest  and  most  poetical  of  the  Cerlovtngfan  romancn 
fvhich  we  at  pn-aeDt  know,  the  fine  Chanson  of  Roland,  was  certainly  writteo 
in  England.  This  Chanson,  however,  hardly  belongs  to  the  real  Carlovingion 
cycle,  which  was  no  absolutely  nntinnal,  that  wc  rarely  find  any  one  of  tneoi 
in  a  manuscript  which  waa  nut  written  in  Prance,  Their  subjecta  are  by  oo  ' 
zneaua  conlined  to  the  wars  of  Charlemagne  with  the  Saracens ;  a  mucll 
greater  number  relate  to  his  real  or  imaginary  feuds  with  his  vassal  baronit  anj 
kings  ;  and  not  a  few  belong  to  the  reigos  of  his  predecessors,  or  of  the  kinga 
of  bis  line  who  followed  him.  Many  of  them  ore  in  fact  the  refloctinn  uf 
much  more  ancient  national  mythological  legends,  which  became  gradually 
ideDtified  with  the  personages  of  his  age.  The  number  of  these  romances 
which  once  existed,  must  have  exceeded  all  calculation  which  can  at  present 
be  hazarded  ;  we  are  sure  that  few  of  our  readers  %xe  aware  of  tlie  great 
nomber  which  are  stilt  extant.  It  has  been  proposed  by  the  Trench  Governmcut 
Committee  for  the  publication  of  historical  monuments,  to  print  the  whola 
mass  (a  truly  national  undertaking)  ; — and  it  was  calculated  that  at  the 
lowest  estimation,  if  printed  in  double  columns,  with  small  type,  they  would 
make  at  least  five  or  ^ix  thick  quarto  volumes.  What  steps  tlie  Committee  ii: 
at  present  taking  to  carry  tliis  project  into  execution,  we  do  not  know.  But, 
in  the  meoo  time,  Mr.  Tcchcncr  is  gradually  publishing  a  selection  of  the  best 
uf  these  romances  in  a  neat  and  popular  form ;  and  this  series,  of  which  we 
have  given  a  list  at  the  beginning  of  this  article,  has  juat  reached  ita  fifth 
volume. 

Thia  popular  series  will,  wc  have  no  doubt,  be  more  geoenlly  acceptable 
than  the  larger  collection,  although  it  is  highly  desirable  that  the  whole  moss 
should  be  printed  and  given  in  a  tangible  form,  for  it  is  by  »o  doing  only  that 
wc  may  hope  to  set  in  a  right  light  many  difficult  points  of  literary  history. 
Ai  literary  productions,  these  romances  are  extremely  unequal.  Tboae  cob- 
tained  in  Tccfaencr's  collection  are  faronrablc  specimens ;  it  is  true  that  the 
romance  of  the  Saxons,  orWituchind,  owes  it»  interest  less  to  its  poetic  bcauli(-« 
than  to  other  circumstauceb ;  but  the  simple  and  elep^ant  «tyle  of  Hertc  nuv 
Grooa  Fiifs  and  of  Parise  la  Duclicsse,  and  the  lively  and  spirited  scenr s  in  tlie 
story  of  Gar  in  and  the  family  of  the  Lorraine,  contrast  strongly  with  the  lung 
and  tedious  monotuny  of  many  of  the  ioLKliled  romances  which  belong  tu  this 
series.  The  fault  of  the  greater  part  of  them  is  that  they  arc  spun  out  to  a 
toilsome  length,  and  are  filled  with  a  tedious  repetition  of  Bimitor  incidents 
and  Bcenes.  But  to  him  who  loves  to  make  htmself  acquainted  with  the 
nuumers  and  character  of  the  people  of  former  days,  there  is  not  one  of  thcH 
romances  which  does  not  present  points  of  great  interest. 

The  first  volume  of  Tcchcncr's  series  appeared  originally  in  the  begioning  of 
tlie  year  1832,  but  the  increase  in  the  number  of  purchasers  of  such  works 
rendered,  four  years  afterA'ards.  a  second  impression  necessary,  in  onler  lo 
complete  a  larger  number  uf  acts  than  hod  originally  been  contemplated.  Tbfl 
persoQ  of  Berte  belongs  to  the  remotest  period  of  Teutonic  mythology  ;  in  earlf* 
times  she  liad  hern  the  object  of  Pagan  worship  ;  but  here  alie  i-  *'-  '  -  ine  of 
a  story  which,  with  JilTerenl  luudilications,  was  oAeo  repenli.'d  >:urtt

queen  of  Hungary,  Fluire  and  BUincheflcur,  who  also  were  ;i  .  ofa

1839.  Old  Fivnch  Poefiy—The  C^rlovinguin  Romancfi.  3f5 

of  Htmgary  leads  to  the  discovery  of  the  irhole  plot ;  the  guilty  persons  are 
panished,  and  their  victim,  itho  is  supposed  to  be  dead,  is  uciivcrsally  lamented. 
At  last,  by  m.  fortunate  accident,   Pepin    recovers  his  long  lost    qui-en^  who 
bocaxnca  the  mother  of  the  famous  Charlcrasf^nr.    To  our  taste,  there  arc  few 
otU  poema  so  truly  pleaiing  as  the  romanct-  of  Berte  aux  Graas  Pi^a.  It  ahonnda 
with  natural  and  affecting  deecription  more  than  any  other  poem  we  know  of 
the  same  clasA.     We  are  tempted  to  give  a  short  extract  from  thi*  |iocm  as  a 
spscimea  of  the  derision  with  which  our  neighboors  then  treated  the  Qood  at»  , 
of  old  Knglaad.     The  epithet  which  the  natives  applied  to  the  national  bere«  ] 
rage,  became  in  the  mouths  of  roreigncrs  an  integral  part  of  the  name,  porfoZe.  ' 
which   they   gave    to  it.     The  poet  is  describing  his  heroine  wandering  in 
the  forest,  wet,  weary,  torn,  aod  faint  with  hunger  and  thirst ;  and  add»— 

"  Uue  riviere  tnmve  qal  d*nn  pendant  avsle ; 

VolcDtiers  an  b^hut,  mais  trouble  est  com  godftle." 
"  She  finds  a  river  which  flows  from  s  precipice  ; 

She  would  wUtiugly  have  drunk,  but  it  wis  imtddf  tUtt  a/e.** 

The  romance  of  Garin  le  Lohcrain,  which  is  but  a  branch  of  the  much  larger 
romance  in  which  the  adventures  of  that  family  are  told,  belongs  also  to  thtf 
reign  of  Pepin,  and  pictures  to  us  the  bitter  fcuda  among  the  vaasols  of  th«  \ 
crowo  which  were  then  continually  devastating  the  kingdom.  Its  beauties  are 
of  an  entirely  different  class  to  ihoac  which  characterise  Berte,  Its  writer  ex- 
cels in  gmnping  his  personages  ;  in  bold  spirited  pictures  of  feudal  warfare ;  io 
broad  sketches  of  personal  character.  In  some  parts  we  might  believe  our- 
selves reading  the  Itind  ;  and  we  feel  the  same  interest  in  almost  every  blow 
that  is  given.  This  poem,  above  all  the  others,  givts  us  an  interesting  picture 
of  the  manocra  of  the  middle-ages. 

The  romance  of  Parine  la  Duchcssc,  analogous,  in  many  reapecti.  to  that  of  J 
Berte,  for  its  subject  also  is  the  sufferings  of  a  lady,  belongs  to  the  reign  of  J 
Charlemagne.     Parise.  the  daughter  of  Duke  Gamier  de  Nanteuil,  is  the  wilb 
ofRaimond  "dux  de  Saint  Gile,"  who  resided  at  Vauvenice.     The  "doaze' 
pers"  of  Vauvcoice,  the  murderers  of  Gamier  de  Nnntcuij,  were  aniioos  to 
destroy  every  branch  of  the  family  towards   which  they  had  thus  shown  such 
deadly  enmity,  and  attempt  to  carry  off  the  Duchess  (who  was  near  the  time 
of  giving  birth  to  her  first  child)   by  means  of  poieoncd  apples,  a  method  of 
cotomilttng   mnrder  which  seems  then  to  have  been    not   uncommon.      By 
hazard,  the  lady  escapes  the  snare,  but  Raymond's  brother,  Du^vcs,  eats  one 
of  the  apples  end  dies.     The  conspirators,  disappointed  in  their  first  intention, 
now  accuse  the  duchess  of  the  murder,  and  the  rcault  of  along  series  of  wicked 
intrigues  is  the  banishment  of  the  lady.     While  wandering  about,   without 
knowing  where  to  seek  a  shelter,  she  is  suddenly  seized  in  the  middle  of  a  wild 
wood  with  the  pains  of  labour,  and  is  delivered  of  a  sou,  who  Is  afterwards 
named  Hogucs.  and  who  ts  stolen  away  by  robbers  the  very  night  after  his 
birth.     Parise,  dittcon.iolate  for  the  loss  of  her  oflTspring,  at  last  arrives  at 
Cologne,  and  there,  disguising  her  true  name  and  origin,  she  is  received  into 
the  household  of  the  Count  of  Cologne,  Thierri,  to  nunc  his  infant  son,  and  she 
soon  conciliates  the  love  and  respect  of  his  family.     Meantime  her  own  child 
ia  carried  by  the  robbers  to  the  court  of  the  king  of  Hungary,  who  brings  him 
np  io  his  own  house  until  he  has  reached  the  age  of  fifteen  years,  when  he  de- 
termines to  marry  him  to  his  only  daughter,  and  make  him  heir  to  his  crown. 
But  the  young  Hugues  becomes  engaged  in  a  murderoui  affray  with  the  sona 
of  the  Hungarian  nobles,  who  had  reproached  him  at  a  foundling  withoutfather  ■

fame  of  their  beauty  ;  but  they  exhibit  those  private  and  unoatciitAlious  virtues 
which  are  the  highest  attril)ulL>s  o(  fi;matc  character.  When  king  Flore  parts 
with  his  daughter  Berte,  and  scuds  her  to  be  the  wife  of  IVpin,  hit  laat 
prayer  is  that  ihe  should  never  cease  to  feel  for  the  jufierings  of  the  |)cor  and 
the  injured. 

The  6nh  volume  of  this  soriei  of  romnnccfl.  published  within  the  last  month, 
contaiua  part  of  the  romance  of  Wituchind;  and  gives  us  what  remained  in  Ute 
thirteenth  century  of  the  Franldah  traditions  of  the  struggles  of  the  Saxont  agaiu»t 
the  power  of  Charlemagne.  Asisthecnae  in  all  the  Carlovingiao  ramaocet,  these 
traditions  are  much  altertd  and  deformed  by  the  mixtures  of  ideas  which  had  ori- 
ginated ta  the  CruHades.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  we  find  in  the  romances  uf 
Wituchind,  or  of  the  Saxons,  scarcely  any  of  the  allusions  to  the  old  I'eutonic 
mythology,  which  its  title  would  have  led  us  to  expect.  But  although,  in  its 
present  form,  it  originated  only  in  the  thirteenth  century,  wc  think  we  may  still 
perceive  a  few  traces  of  itsjolder  form.  We  will  mention  one  which  seems  to  us 
very  remarkable,  and  which,  ah  far  as  we  are  aware,  has  not  yet  been  pointed 
out.  namely,  the  singular  distinrtion  between  the  laNjTue  romane  and  the  ^iiiyiia 
FreticfiruiH.  When  Uie  emperor  gives  his  orders  to  the  nobles  of  his  own  court, 
he  speaks  in  romans,  i.  c.  in  that  corrupted  form  of  the  Latin  or  Roman  Ian* 
guage  which  formed  the  groundwork  of  the  modern  French. 

L'sraprreres  de  Rome  chuisl  antre  les  Frant 

Ssren  et  Lambert,  si  lor  dist  an  rement .-  etc. — P.  U9. 
When  Sebtle.  the  queen  of  the  Saxona,  addresses  Dcrard,  a  Krankish  knight.: 
she  s{>eak8  to  him  in  the  language  of  the  Franks,  i.  e.  as  wc  arc  inclined  to  in- 
terpret  it.  in  the  Teutonic  dialect,  which  belonged  to  their  race,  and  which 
united  tiiera  in  blood  with  the  other  Teutonic  tribes. 

Scbilc  li  cscrio  d  la  lan^ue  f rancor : 

"  Vossax,  bien  estes  dignes  d'&vob-  nobile  amor."  ete.— P.  9a. 

In  the  thirteenth  century  this  distinction  of  languages  could  scarcely  have 
been  understood,  and  wc  arc  strongly  inclined  to  regard  Ihem  a^  expressions 
taken  from  some  older  works,  perhaps  from  popular  ballads.  The  form  /ran- 
cor (francoram)  seems  also  tons  to  be  a  mark  of  antiquity. 

This  romance  of  Wituchind.  commonly  known  by  the  title  of  the  Chanfm 
des  Saxtms.  waa  coraimsed  in  its  present  form  by  Jean  Ilodel,  a  poet  of  Aitots 
who  nourished  towards  the  middle  of  the  thirteenth  century.  As  wc  have 
only  a  part  of  the  poem  in  this  first  volume,  we  cannot  give  the  outline  of  the 
plot.  The  interest  of  events  is  by  no  means  so  well  kept  up  as  in  the  romance 
of  G&rin  le  l^ohernm  ;  yet  the  adventures  of  some  of  Charlemai'n^-'si  i.u.-i.r*,

Copious,  then,  as  this  literature  is,  .j 
and  deeply  interesting  as  being  native  J 
tn  us,  and  the  parent  of  our  own,  Mr. 
Wright  b.-is  undertaken  no  ungrateful 
task  when  he  proposes,  aa  in  the 
present  Kasay.  to  give  us  a  summary 
view  of  the  state  uf  learning  and  ac*

forefathers  ;  and  he  has  executed  it  io 
a  manner  which  must  command  our 
warm  npprobatioa.  We  will  briefly 
mention  the  different  heads  into  which 
the  prneral  subject  is  divided,  and 
through  which  the  inquiry  Is  pursued.

(heir  converU.  The  only  difference  vu, 
that,  whilit  ebewhere  these  beings  re- 
tained verf  nearly  their  original  form 
ind  eharvcter,  in  the  mindi  of  the  monka 
they  became  bo  many  black  demons  and 
mischievous  hot^oblins." 

The  neit  sectioa  is  on  the  Aoglo- 
SaioD  Christian  Poetry,  and  this  in- 
trodacea  the  name  of  Csdmon  ;  part 
of  whose  poetry  has  been  so  well 
edited  by  Mr.  Thorpe. 

**Wo  find  no  manuscripts  of  Anglo- 
Saxon  rel^ous  poetry,  unless  it  be  some 
Tery  insignificant  fragments,  of  an  earlier 
date  than  die  tenth  century,  nor  does 
there  occur  any  mention  of  such  mann- 
Bcripta  before  the  time  of  King  Alfred — 
the  latter  half  of  the  ninth  ceotiuy.  Yet, 
from  what  Bade  says  of  Ctedmon  and  his 
imitatiws,  and  from  some  other  circum< 
stances,  it  seemi  probable  that  the  Tcr- 
nacular  religions  poetry  was  composed 
chiefly  daring  the  years  which  interrened 
between  the  age  of  the  poet  (aboat  A.D. 
6l«))  and  that  of  the  historian  lA.D.Ttl). 
The  cireomrtanoea  which  are  most  in 
favour  of  this  supposition  are,  first,  its 
great  dissimilarity  in  style  to  anything 
Uiat  can  be  ascertained  to  have  been 
written  at  a  later  period,  and,  secondly, 
tiie  frequent  allorion  which  is  made  to  it 
at  the  earlier  period.  Aldhelm,  who  died 
in  709.  is  said  to  have  been  himself  one 
of  the  best  English  poets  of  his  day. 
Bede  was  also  partial  to  the  venuMular 
Anglo-Saxon  poetry,  and  well  acquainted 
with  it  (doctissimns  in  nostris  cannini- 
bui);  and,  eren  on  his,  death-bed,  he  not 
nnfreqnently  uttered  his  thonghts  in  pas- 
sagca  taken  from  the  national  poets. 
Bcnilaoe,  who  died  in  755,  in  one  of  his 
letters  quotes  likewiM  a  nloral  sentiment 
from  an  Anglo-Saxon  poet.*'* 

The  quotations  which  Mr.  Wright 
has  giveo  ander  this  head  are  of  hi^ 
interest,  possessing  some  bold  pic- 
turesque imagery,  and  language  cha- 
racteristic of  the  times.  The  account 
of  the  Anglo-Latin  writers  extends 
through  twenty  pages  of  very  carious 
information. 


"While  the  introduction  of  the  Chris- 
tian religion  was  thus  modifying  the  old 
national  literature  of  the  Anglo-Saxons,  a 
foreign  literature  was  brought  in  with  it, 
which  was  soon  to  exercise  an  important

inflnence.  Many  of  the  missionaries 
whom  the  Anglo-Saxon  church  justly  re- 
garded as  its  fathers,  were  distingui»hed 
as  scholars,  and  by  their  example  a  general 
love  of  learning  was  soon  spread  amongst 
their  cunrerts.  Schools  had  bren  already 
founded  before  the  middle  of  the  Gerentb 
century.  It  is,  howerer,  to  two  foreign 
scholars,  Theodore  and  Adrian,  who  were 
sent  into  England  eariy  in  the  latter  half 
of  the  same  century,  that  we  owe  the  es- 
tablishment of  learning  lunong  the  Anglo- 
Saxons.  Theodore,  a  native  of  Tarsus, 
was  made  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  and 
even  at  Rome  was  famous  for  bis  extensive 
acquaintance  with  profane  as  well  as 
sacred  literature,  and  that  equally  in  the 
Latin  and  Greek  languages.f  His  friend 
the  Abbot  Adrian  was  by  birth  an  African, 
but,  like  his  companion,  he  was,  to  use 
the  words  of  Bede,  '  exceedingly  skilled 
both  in  Greek  and  Latin  ;*  and  he  is 
termed  by  William  of  Malmsbary  '  a 
fountain  of  letters  and  a  river  of  arts.' 
These  two  foreigners  first  began  to  teach 
openly,  in  conjunction  with  the  Christian 
laith,  the  arts  and  sciences,  and  the  lan- 
gnagfs  of  Greece  and  Rome ;  and  their 
school  was  BO  well  attended,  that,  when 
Bede  wrote  his  history,  there  were  stiU 
alive  some  of  their  scholars,  who,  as  he 
assures  us,  were  as  well  versed  in  Greek 
and  Latin  as  in  their  own  native  tongue. 
Amongst  those  who  had  profited  most  by  » 
Adrian's  teaching  was  Aidhelm  of  Sher- 
bum. 

"  The  Anglo-Saxons  approached  the 
intellectual  field  which  was  thns  laid  open 
to  them  with  extraordinary  avidity.  They 
were  like  the  adventurous  traveller  who 
has  just  landed  on  a  newly  discovered 
shore :  the  very  obstacles  which  at  first 
stood  in  their  way,  seemed  to  have  been 
placed  there  only  to  stimulate  their  zeal. 
They  thus  soon  gained  a  march  in  advance 
even  of  their  teachers,  and  the  same  age 
in  which  learning  had  been  introduced 
amongst  them,  saw  it  reflected  back  with 
double  lustre  on  those  who  bad  sent  it. 
At  the  beginning  of  the  eighth  century, 
England  possessed  a  number  of  scholars 
who  would  have  been  the  just  pride  of  tfae 
most  enlightened  age ;  and  not  only 
teachers,  bnt  books  also,  were  sent  over 
to  the  Franks  and  Germans.     The  science

After  informing  ua  of  Alfred's  cxei-

Bnglandl,  some  wcra  sent  lo  Plandcn,  and 
otbcra  ctme  to  Fniore  and  were  ftmnders 
of  the  convent  at  Pnria." 

Ofthe  Abbe&sctt  and  nuns,  many  of 
nhom  were  allied  to  Knglish  families 
of  distinction,  particular  arc  givcD 
from  the  record  before  mentioned. 
Angela  Jcrningham  is  the  first  Ablicss 
noticed,  elected  at  Ghent  on  the  retreat 
oflhp  coramunity  inlo  France,  in  the 
year  IfiSS  ;  when  erobarkini;  at  Flueh- 
ing,  ihey  arrived  at  St.  Valcry  sar 
Somme.  From  the  coromcnceraenl  of 
the  cstabliahinent  these  religious  re 
ceivcd  pensioners  in  their  house,  and 
the  convent  became  the  refuge  nbuut 
the  time  ofthe  abdication  of  James  II. 
and  subsequeoUy,  of  many  Knglish 
ladies. 

Lord  Thomas  Howardi  a  younger 
Kon  of  Henry  sixth  Duke  of  Norfolk, 
obtained  permi<»Bion  from  the  jVrch- 
bifthopof  Paris,  in  IfiSQ,  for  foorofhis 
sons,  all  under  six  years  of  age,  to 
*lwcll  in  the  convent,  whore  his  young 
clauRhtcr  was  also  placed.  The  school 
opened  by  the  religious  was  frequented 
by  anine  of  the  chief  Catholics  of 
Kogland.  'Jlte  last  Abbess  wae  Eliza- 
beth Mory  (Rernnrd)  Green,  who  was 
elected  in  l/Ql  and  died  in  IS  10. 

Thomas  Hcarne  has  preserved  to  iis 
a  relation  of  a  community  nf  recluse 
established  in  1641  in  fluntingdun- 
shire,*  and  thus  there  is  precedent  that 
the  convent  ofthe  blue  nuna.  instituted 
n  few  years  later,  may  be  fairly  oo- 
ticcd  by  tJie  antifjuary,  especially  as 
Tnona^tic  etstabliHlmients  are  closely 
connected  with  the  history  of  «uciety, 
religion,  and  arts  in  previous  aKes. 
U  is.  we  think,  however,  quef-tionnble 
whether  theiraonals,  brought  down  lo 
the  period  in  which  we  live  can  be 
strictly  classed  under  archaHtlogical 
records. 

The  part  of  Archrcologia  which  we 
have  noticed  ib  not  quite  so  bulky  as 
former  volumes  from  the  enrae  suurrc, 
but  in  many  points  due?  not  yield  lu

MRS.  POSTANS  has  given  lo  the 
public  a  work  of  much  information, 
very  agreeably  written  -    enabling  us 
to  form  n  tolerably  accurate  outline  of 
the  character  of  the  country  and  the 
people.     The  ruling  prince  ofCulcb  is 
Hh  Ilighness  Kao  DaisuJjce.     Hetsa 
poor  prince  compared  to  many  others 
in  India,  for  his   territory  is  confined, 
and  the  soU  poor.     He  is  only  twenty- 
two  years  of  ngc,  of  a  mild  and  pleaa. 
ing  character.     As  the  poptilntion  of 
Culch  consists  of  nearly  an  equal  pro-  ' 
portion  of  Mabomcdaos  and  Hindoos, 
it  is  necessary  for  the  prince  to  con. 
form  in  public  to  both  these  forma  of 
worship;  but  lis  bis  mother  waa ade- 
voutsupporteroftheBrahroinical  creed, 
it  18  supposed  that  hh  real   respeeta

Frank  11.  Sltindisb.      Vol.  %. 

AN  interesting  volume,  as  the  au- 
thor visits  most  of  the  cities  of  high 
antiquity  and  fame  on  the  banks  of 
the  Mediterranean  :  Athens,  Constan* 
tinople,  Ck>rfu,  form  the  subjects  of 
rouch  learned  diasertatioD ;  while  the 
visit  to  Granada  abounds  with  cuiioutt 
and  picturenque  details  of  those  splen- 
did remains  of  Moorish  magnificence. 
Of  Athens,  the  author  writes  in  a 
most  disparaging  strain. 

"Id  fact,  AtlieoK  is  a  wretched  district : 
it  miiy  be  well  cnQugh  fur  a  niinijitcr

■Mcrtioa  by   many   writers  of  high 
cbftrActer    In   theolopy,    "  /An/  Pia/o 
Sad  time  knovUdo-  0/  the  yrea/  myi/*fy 
tff  Ih*  Trinity."  Thisopiuion  met  with 
Duivenial  cuncurrenco  in  the  eorlrtimcs 
of  our  rt'ligioo,  a^  well  among  Chria- 
tlaiu  a»  Pagans.  "  The  Pugao*  (says 
our  author)  faocicU  they  saw  a  resem- 
blancti  between  the  Christian  Trinity 
and  the  doctrines  of  Ptato.     The  Fa- 
tbftn    met   these   opinions   half-way. 
aod  canfc&&ed  that  this  e&ieQtiai  truth 
of  our   religion    waa   known  before 
Christ  revealed  it  a  second  time  to 
mankind."    Mr.  Nfofthet  has  examined 
ihU  very  interesting  sulyect  with  cflre> 
and  we  think  has  antisfoctorily  shown 
the  Dpioiou  is  incorrcet,  and  that  it  has 
ariseo  from   confounding   the  ancient 
Triads  of  the  Chuklces  and  Egyptians 
with  the  Platonic  doclrincs  of  the  first 
principlea    of   all  things. — God,  idea, 
and  maitrr.  which  were  probably  first 
taught  by  Pythagoras  and  by  Plata, 
whiiit;  theology  was  borrowed  from  the 
Pythagorean  school ;  and  which  is  ex- 
hibited bv  him  in  the  Dialogue  of  Ti- 
micus.     This  system  was  a  Pythago- 
rean,   a   Timcon,    and    a    Parmene- 
dian  doctrine,  probably  first  brought 
out  of  l^typt.     The  substance  of  it  is 
comprewcil  in  one  sentence  from  the 
"  Soul  of  the  World,"  which  is  as  fol- 
low*, when  translated  : — "  Before  the 
Heaven   was   made,    there  existed  in 
reality,    Idea,  Matter,   and  God,   the 
dcmlurgus  of  the  better  nature." 

Our  own  opinion  is  with  Mr. 
Mushet, 

1.  That  this  Triad  of  the  Philotto- 
phic  schools  has  no  relation  whatever 
to  the  Sacred  Trinity. 

3.  We  think,  that  it  is  no  remnant 
of  any  racred  tradition,  which  had 
found  its  way  into  the  Pagan  belief, 
and  preserved,  amid  its  va^c  and  er- 
roneous language,  some  original  seed 
of  truth. 

3.  We  believe  this  widelyspread  my- 
thological Iruditiou  to  have  arisen  iu

The  Ihm^ttic  Chaplain  ;  or,  Strmoiu  Off 
FaatUy  Dutie$.  By  tke  Rev.  J.  G. 
N.  Molesworth,  2  vult. 

THESE  discourses  treat  chieBy  of 
the  domestic  duties,  for  the  conscien- 
tious discharge  of  which  the  author 
eodeavours  to  lay  a  strong  and  scrip- 
tural fouadatioD.  In  his  address  he 
aays; 

"  Beforv  the  particular  dadcs  of  taeh 
member  of  a  famUy  ore  discussed,  some 
discoiires  will  be  iatrodoced  of  «  cim- 
tiomajy  nature,  respecting  thcdUpositlons, 
previous  knowledge,  expeotaCioos,  and 
rostrictioos  with  which  Uie  study  of  such 
duties  ougbt  to  be  enforced.  Thi'jK  be 
thinlcs  have  been  altogether  overlooked,  or 
sllglitty  tuuclii'd  upon,  Tjjr  srriters  on  social 
and  family  duties.  They  are,  however. 
Important;  and,  for  want  of  their  bring 
attended  to  and  explained,  pn-judices 
against  the  discussion  of  family  dutiea 
sjise,  and  many  of  the  advantsfes  which 
would  result  from  proper  exnmtnation  and 
uudcntandiog  of  them  are  neglected,**  &c. 

Mr.  Moleswnrtli  in  so  well  known  as 
a  sound  and  learned  divine,  that  we 
may  expect,  in  a  theological  point  of 
view,  his  sermons  to  be  orthodox  in 
doctrine,  and  well  supplied  with  scrip- 
tural illustration  :  we  also  find  that 
they  are  animated  in  their  style,  and 
well  adapted  for  delivery  from  the  pul- 
pit. We  much  approve  a  cuatom  of  Mr. 
Molesworth's,  little  used  in  sermons  in 
gcneral,ofinscrtiogBrgumcnts  and  pas- 
sages, which  he  selects  for  the  force  of 
their  reasoning  or  happiness  of  their 
expression,  from  other  writers,  and  in- 
serts in  the  bwly  of  his  own  discourse. 
Now,  certainly,  we  do  not  know  why 
this  custom  is  so  little  adDpte<l  in  our 
pulpit  composition,  when  we  find  it 
in  all  others.  Read  a  disquisition 
on  moiols,  you  will  find  the  author 
occasionally  quoting  the  opinion  of 
almost  oil  who  bave  preceded  him  in 
his  inquiry;  for  truth  must  be  gathered 
up  from  all  the  quarters  where  it  ia 
di!tpersed  ;  and  it  is  better  to  eniptny 
the  "  ifmaaima  cetha"  uf  a  good  writer, 
than  to  present  hii  matter  in  out  form, 
his  argument  and  elucidation  in  our 
own  words.  Thus  Mr.  Molesworth 
oAcn  quotes  some  happy  and  forcible

lions  that  arc  too  apt  to  be  Dot  too 
attractive  to  the  general  mind.  To  use 
cummun  language,  strmona  muat  be 
Montetpfuit  dry  ;  and  as  in  Jtlttrery  Ihey 
are  relieved  by  the  tone  of  voice,  the 
look,  the  gesture  of  the  preacher,  so  in 
pcruital,  we  think  an  excellent  stimulus 
to  the  attention  may  be  found  in  a  ju- 
dictoua  introduction  of  pekafages  from 
authors  of  rank  and  eminence  ;  which 
would,  moreover,  tend  to  make  their 
works  more  generally  known. 

There  are  passages  happily  con- 
ceived, and  elegantly  expressed  abo, 
often  in  works  of  inferior  estimation ;  a 
writer  in  a  happy  moment  strikes  out 
a  turn  of  expression  that  cannot  be  im. 
proved ;  or  ne  takes  a  new  view  of  an 
argnment,  or  he  introduces  a  singu- 
larly just  illustration.  These  are  the 
extracts  to  select  and  u»G,  wc  believe, 
to  the  great  advantage  of  the  author 
and  his  reader.  Some  of  the  sermons 
in  the  secoud  volume,  as  those  on 
marriage,  and  on  the  peculiar  duties  of 
the  various  teras  of  life,  are  written 
with  great  feeling,  and  abound  in  pas- 
sages of  much  beauty.  All  of  Uiem 
are  practical ;  fitted  fur  the  domestic 
hearth  and  househtjtil  ;  and  the  last 
one,  onthe  "  Knd  of  the  Year,"  is  such 
as  could  not  be  listened  to  without 
the  deepest  attention,  and,  wc  trust, 
improvement.

the  most  churltsli  critic  to  find  fault 
with  the  moral  feeling  or  sentiments 
of  this  work;  and  consequently  the 
impressions  which  it  leaves  on  the 
mind,  are  such  as  tend  to  make  virtue 
more  amiable,  and  shew  the  intimate 
connexion  between  the  duty  and  hap- 
piness, the  benevolent  aflTections^  and 
the  approving  conscience.  There  is. 
besides,  no  want  of  an  animated  and 
sprightly  narrative,  or  of  a  sufficient 
diversity  of  characters,  to  moke  the 
whole  talc  amusing  -,  but,  perhaps,  the 
author  has  crowded  his  pages  too 
thickly  with  enteiprizeand  adventure, 
and  circumstantial  detail,  to  leave  auf- 
iicieat  room  for  the  due  display  of  the 
passions.  This  is  no  uncommon  fault, 
both  in  novels  and  in  the  drama.  From 
some  passages,  wc  guesa  the  author 
to  be  a  clergyman  ;  but  we  think  bis 
list  of  theological  authors  for  a  clergy- 
raaa'e  library,  might  be  much  im- 
proved. (V,  vol.  ii.  p.  118.)  We 
should  not  admit  Jortia  and  Paley 
witliout  a  proper  antidote  being  ad- 
ministered. As  for  Pietyman  and 
Gilpin,  and  Porteus  and  Gisborn,  we 
should  supply  their  places  by  Vaa 
Mildect  and  Lawrence,  and  Magee, 
and  Sumner,  and  Benson — men  of  far 
greater  talents,  and  more  profound 
acquirements.  We  must  now  leave 
our  Roxburghian,  with  a  pteaatog  im- 
pression of  the  amiableocss  of  his  dia* 
position,  the  goodness  of  his  inten- 
tions, and  the  variety  of  bis  accom-

prizes  for  origiaal  Essays,  Too  often, 
the  reward  is  given  cither  for  a  few 
rhetorical  nourishes,  or  for  supporting 
that  view  of  a  question  which  is  most 
coQSODant  with  the  pre-existing  opi- 
niona  of  the  greater  number  of  the 
persons  who  give  it.  Thia  publica- 
tion of  the  Cyinrarodorion  Society  is, 
however,  a  gpecimen  of  a  difl'ercnt 
mode  of  proceeding.  However  we 
may  differ  with  the  Welsh  Antiqua- 
ries in  general  in  our  estimate  of  the 
antiquity,  and  valoe,  and  origin  of 
the  earlier  Wel»h  liistorica)  and  lite- 
rary monuments,  this  we  are  sure, 
that  we  can  never  come  to  any  certain 
conclusion  nn  the  subject,  until  a  much 
greater  number  of  the  monuments 
themselves  have  hcen  published  than 
can  yet  be  consulted  in  print ;  and  we 
cannot  give  too  much  praiae  and  en- 
conragement  to  alt  who  wilt  occupy 
themselves  in  the  publication  of  them. 
The  book  before  us  is  interesting 
in  a  historical  as  well  as  a  literary 
point  of  view,  although  it  does  not 
hclong  to  a  very  early  period.  Glyn 
Cothi  appears  to  have  been  a  bard 
who  lived  upon  the  good  things  of  the 
gentry  of  Walea  and  the  border,  and 
in  return  for  their  hospitality  and  li- 
berality, he  occupied  himself  in  writ- 
ing songs  in  their  praise.  The  period 
at  which  he  lived,  the  lime  nf  the  wars 
between  the  rival  houses  of  York  and 
Lancaster,  in  which  the  Welsh  were 
so  actively  engaged,  afforded  numerous 
occasions  for  the  employment  of  liis 
muse,  and  the  bard  is  never  at  a  loss 
in  praising  the  valour  and  generosity 
of  Lis  countrymen,  be  they  Yurkista 
or  Lancastrians,  a  distinction  which 
seems  to  have  nfTectcd  him  1e»s  than 
the  abundance  which  was  spread  upon 
their  tables.  His  poems  are  far  more 
valuable  to  us,  than  they  would  have 
been  if  he  had  taken  humbler  subjects ; 
for  they  abound  in  historical  incidenls. 
and  throw  much  light  on  the  man- 
ners and  characters  of  the  Welsh  |;en- 
tlerocn  iu  tlic  reign  of  the  fourth  Kd- 
ward  and  his  imrnetlintc  successors, 
and  on  the  feelings  with  which  they 
entered  into  the  difl'cicDt  rcvolulluns 
which  tlien  so  frequently  occurred. 
TTiey  were  events  In  which  it  may 
truly  be  said  that  brother  fought  against 
brother,  and  father  was  pilclu'd  against 
flOD  ;  and  llic  poet  not    unfrequcnlly

praises  almost  in  one  breath  the  ex- 
ploits which  dinereut  members  of  the 
same  family  had  performcii  on  oppo- 
site sides  of  the  question,  and  hnasts 
of  the  slaughter  which  they  had  se- 
verally committed.  Such,  to  cite  an 
example,  was  the  case  with  Morgan 
ab  Thomas  and  David  ab  Thomas,  of 
whom  we  arc  told  in  a  note, — 

"  Both  brothers,  it  appears,  took  .in 
active  part  in  the  wars  of  the  tirac.  Mor- 
gan, like  his  father,  wai  n  Yorkint;  but 
David  a  itaanch  Luieislrtan.  The  fol- 
lowing anecdote  is  recorded  of  them. 
When,  after  the  final  battle  of  Tewkes- 
bunr,  Jasper,  Earl  of  Pembroke,  vHtb  hia 
nephew  the  young  Earl  of  Richmonil,  the 
only  earriving  heir  of  the  house  nf  Lan- 
r.aster,  had  taken  refuRc  in  the  Castle  of 
Pembroke,  King  EdnrarJ  on  hearing  the 
news  immeitiaitsly  dicpntched  an  order  to 
Morgan  tu  muatcr  bis  forces,  nnd  hosU^ 
the  Ciwtle  ;  which  bo  did  without  delay. 
His  brother  David,  abrwed  at  the  pert- 
Ions  situation  of  the  Lanraxtrian  priiiceSf 
collected  his  rcljiinern,  raised  the  »ie([e, 
and  dhipptd  both  tlit^  Karls  at  Ti'nhy  for 
the  corut  of  France.  Thus  was  David  tlie 
means  of  sArln^  the  hfe  uf  tht;  future 
Henry  the  Scvcuih  of  Englnnd." 

In  the  Introduction  to  thia  book, 
Mr.  Junes,  the  Editor,  has  given  an 
interesting  sketch  of  the  history'  of 
this  period,  showing  what  part  the 
Welsh  geutry  took  successively  in 
bringing  Edward  to  the  throne,  in 
supporting  or  opposing  him  during  his 
eventful  reign,  and  afterwards  in 
bringing  about  the  Revolution  which 
raised  Henry  the  Seventh  to  the  crown 
by  thi'  death  of  Edward's  crooked- 
backed  and  crookcd-mlndcd  brother. 
The  li-'xt  of  Glyn  Cothi's  poems  seems 
to  be  very  carefully-  edited ;  each  is  ae- 
companicd  by  an  lutroductory  abstract 
of  its  contents  In  English,  and  by 
English  explanatory  notes  at  the  foot 
of  the  page.  We  regret  much  that 
the  poems  are  not  accomfianled  by 
an  Eni^Ksh  literal  translation  ;  it  might 
have  lieen  given  In  small  type  between 
the  text  mid  the  notes,  and  wonhl 
have  rendered  the  introductory  ab- 
stract, which  takes  up  almost  as  much 
room,  unnecessary  ■  and  there  are  so 
ffw  English  readers  who  arc  ac- 
quainted with  the  Welsh  language. 
thrtt  such  an  adjunct  could  not  fail  to

The  notes,  to  long  a»  they  onj  con-

words  in  the  text,  or  of  hi«toricftl  aliu-

A  few  anecdotes  are  inwrted  in  thi*ra, 
which  we  do  not  ofton  meet  with  elae- 
wherc;  but  ihe  kfger  notes  nro  gene- 
rnily  mere  compilations,  and  we  could 
point  oHt  more  than  one  instance 
where  tliey  are  incorrect  or  injudi- 
cious. The  long  note  about  ihc  St. 
Grael,  at  p.  259,  is  a  striking  speci- 
men of  this ;  and  wc  cannot  iniagioe 
how  such  on  explanation  as  the  iol- 
lowing  could  have  been  tboughl  ne- 
ewiary  in  a  work  of  higlter  preten-

THIS  pleasant  volume,  which  is  the

consists  of  three  part»«  of  different

Bart,  of  Hunstanton  in  Norfolk,  in 
the  reign  of  Charics  the  First  •  "  the

words  of  the  Editor,  "  from  the  I-an«-

well-known  John  Aubrey,  and  con- 
taining his  materials  ^with  some  sab.

oelt»  Bishop  of  Peterborough)  for  a 
work  the  publication  of  which  he  con* 
templated  under  the  tide  of  '  Remains 
ofGentilism  and  Judaism;'"  the  third 
part  is  Belectcd  from  No.  3S90  of  the 
Additional  MSS.  in  the  British  Mn- 
seom,  a  common-place  book  once  the 
property  of  a  Mr.  John  Collet,  as  is 
indicated  by  an  in^icriplion  uj>on  the 
first  page,  which  has  the  appearance  of 
being  beautifully  written  with  a  pen, 
but  which  a  member  of  the  Camden 
Society  haa  proved  to  us  to  be  en- 
graved. The  gentleman  to  whom  wc 
refer  has  shuwn  us  a  volume  of  histo- 
rical tracta,  having  for  a  fly-leaf  an- 
other impression  of  the  same  engraved 
plate,  and  the  inscription  exactly  in 
the  words  which  Mr.  Thorns  has 
quoted  in  his  preface,  p.  is.  That  in- 
scription proves  nothing,  therefore,  as 
to  the  corapilatiou  of  Uie  book,  but 
aimpljr  that  it  once  belonged  tu  John 
Collet,  born  on  the  4th  June,  1633. 
aon  of  Thomas,  and  father  ofliiomas* 
William,  and  John  Collet,  all  of  whom 
be  survived. 

From  these  various  sources  Mr. 
Thorns  hiu  made  up  an  amueing  and 
by  DO  means  unimportant  volume, 
setting  off  the  articles  selected  from 
his  authoritiea  by  illualrativc  notes. 
which  display  a  pain*i'taking  desire  to 
make  the  best  uae  of  bin  materials,  to

of  Norfolk,  counected  by  marritge  with 
the  Lewkenors,  the  S{>elmnns,  the 
Gurneys/  and  other  well-known  Nor- 
folk and  Suffolk  familicfi.  Sir  Hamoo. 
Sir  Nichnl&g'ft  father,  was  govcraor  of 
Lynn  for  King  Charles,  and  defended 
it  when  besieged  by  the  Earl  of  Man- 
chester, and  amongst  hid  children  were 
the  celebrated  Sir  Roger;  Hamon, 
author  of  the  "  Annals  of  Charles  1." 
and  Sir  Nicholas,  the  compiler  of  the 
book  of  "  Merry  Passages  and  Jests," 
who  was  created  a  baronet  in  i6i9, 
in  his  father's  life-time,  and  died  on 
the  24Lh  July  1655.  From  his  death 
the  family  iroport&nce  decreased,  the 
baronetcy  became  extinct  in  i7Co,  and 
the  representation  of  the  L'Kstranges 
passed,  bv  a  female  heir,  into  the  fa- 
mily of  tiie  Stylcmans,  t)ie  head  of 
whom  now  resides  in  Hunatanlonhall, 
and  has  recently  obtained  the  n>yBl 
permission  to  assninfj  the  name  of

It  is  obvious  that  a  man  in  Sir 
Nicholas's  BtatioD  might  easily  gather 
together  a  great  variety  of  personal 
anecdotes  not  only  of  interest  at  the 
time,  but  of  great  valno  to  us.  There 
arc  few  persons  amongst  ourselves  who 
merely  by  recordmg  the  anecdotes  of 
important  individuals  which  duily  come 
to  our  ears,  might  not  form  collec- 
tions which,  after  the  lapse  of  a  couple 
of  centuries,  would  be  esteemed  of  the 
greatest  curiosity,  even  a1thou>;l]  they 
had  not  as  loformaota  a  Sir  Roger, 
versed  in  the  secrets  both  of  courts 
and  of  literature,  a  cousin  John  Spel- 
man,  well  acquainted  with  the  pro- 
ceedings of  the  aniver&itles,  and  sons 
and  grandsons  of  chief  justices,  fami- 
liar with  the  gossip  of  the  courts  of 
law.  Such  collections  could  not  fail 
to  contain  illustrations  of  tiroes  and 
manners,  proofs  of  the  consideration 
in  which  the  men  whom  pualcrity  re- 
gards as  great  were  held  by  their  con- 
temporaries, anecdotes  from  which 
would  break  forth  some  glimpses  of

more  vividly  than  the  most  elaborate 
re-<iearchc!t  of  the  biographer.  Theproofs 
of  this  are  before  us  in  Mr.  Thoms's 
volume.  Who  docs  not  trace  the  easy 
disposition  which  was  the  ruin  of 
Lord  Bacon  io  his  worldly  affairs^  and 
that  love  of  flattery  which  was  one  of 
his  greatest  biota  as  a  man,  in  his  ac- 
customed saying,  here  first  recorded, 
tliat  he  "  loved  to  have  his  throate  cut 
with  a  razour  not  with  a  saw,"  (p.  ]  I) 
—  that  he  preferred  smooth,  oily 
knavery,  to  rough,  rude  honesty?  Does 
not  the  mincing,  finicking  courtier 
arise  before  us,  with  all  his  gallantry 
and  rnpplahness.  in  the  two  anecdotes 
of  King  James's  favourite  the  Karl  of 
Carlisle  at  p.  10  i  When  a  lady  told 
him  that  she  had  a  letter  for  one  of  his 
servants,  "  I  beseech  you,  madam," 
said  the  pretty  genlleman,  "let  me 
know  for  which  of  them,  that  1  may 
have  the  honour  to  be  his  servant ;" 
and  one  of  his  friends,  a  man  whom 
he  liked  as  welt  as  any  man  he  ever 
conversed  with,  fell  in^ttAnlly  tinder 
hia  ban,  "  he  began  to  abominate  and 
bate  him," — "  he  never  cuuld  endure 
the  sight  of  him,  after  "he  committed 
asolecism  in  manners  at  a  dinner  table. 
Honest  Mewtas,  the  faithfol  servant 
and  honoured  friend  of  Lord  Bacon,  is 
brought  before  us  at  p.  ig  as  occupier 
of  a  large  honse  "  furniab't  with  many 
pretty  knacks  and  rarities,"  and  when 
his  fancy  for  such  cariosities  was 
rndi-ly  commented  upon  by  an  insolent 
lawyer.  Mcwtos  evinced  by  the  eqoal 
readiness  and  raciuess  of  his  reply, 
that  his  mind  was  not  Ites  tasteful  and 
elegant  than  his  cnjlrctibns.

11,  4:1  and  7ti.  we  have  illustrations  of 
the  freedom  of  coavcfBOtioa  and  man- 


ners ot  the  "  ordinaries"  of tbftt  period, 
one  of  which  we  will  extract. 

"  Harktewitt  and  another  drinking

tng  downe  of  this,  for  none  would  come

WSJ  the  only  summons.*  " 

Many  anecdotes  refer  to  the  pulpit 
exhibitions  of  the  period,  and  give  sin- 
gular pictures  of  the  length  of  time 
and  Ihc  freedom  with  which  the  "drum 
ecclesiastic"  was  beaten.  Of  oneaer* 
moo  which  lasted  two  hours,  wc  aro 
told  that  "  'twas  a  very  good  one,  but 
hatr  on't  would  have  done  well  cold," 
(p.  3) ;  ofonother,  which  was  probably 
about  the  same  length,  that  it  also  was 
"  very  good,  but  it  bad  spoiled  a  goose 
worth  two  of  it  "  {p.  79).  We  have 
aeveral  cbaracteriatic  anecdotes  relat- 
ing to  those  indecorous  cihibitions  to 
which  our  ancestors  were  «o  attached 
— funeral  sermuna  (pp.  3,  4) ;  and  the 
following,  although  pcrhaptt  not  true  to 
the  very  letter,  is  worthy  of  remem- 
brance, as  proving  what  was  thought, 
at  the  teaat,  not  too  unlikely  to  be 
told.

just  judj^ucot  of  rrovidencc,  his  bowels 
rotted  within  bim  and  he  died.  One 
Prpst,  R  clcr^man  in  Elisabeth's  reigii, 
happ«ined  to  be  presented  to  the  living  of 
the  parish  in  which  GreenwoD<l  was

first  discourses  be  selected  Grt^cnwood's 
history  as  a  topic  of  discourHt,  and  iiri;ud 
home  upon  his  i>amhioncr9  mnny  dedur< 
tions  from  it,  respecting  the  ain  of  per- 
jory.  It  so  happened  that  Greenwood 
was  hi  the  church,  and  beard  the  dis- 
course, but,  probably,  being  a  moro 
phlegmatic  person  than  Sir  WiUiain  Wodc- 
noQso's  msn,  be  replied  not  in  person 
but  by  attorney.  He  brought  his  action 
against  the  derKymnn  for  a  libel,  and  the 
cattae  was  tried,  but  ^-itliout  producing 
nny  Mtisfsction  to  Greenwood,  for  the 
Lord  Chief  Justice  Wray,  who  tried  it, 
directed  the  jury  to  find  for  the  defen- 
dantf  for  that  it  appeared  it  was  not 
done  out  of  malice."— (SlAte  Triab,  vol. 
liii.  p.  1387.) 

From  •'  sermons"  to  *'  jesters"  is 
perhaps  a  violent  transition  (although 
not  BO  much  so  as  may  at  first  sight 
appear,  for  the  wearers  of  the  cap  and 
bells  were  Dccaaianally  teachers  of 
morals  as  well  as  their  tnoru  dignified 
brethren  of  the  gown  antl  cassock)  ; 
but  we  must  bring  our  eitracts  from 
thrs  port  of  Mr.  Thoms's  book  to  a 
clase,  and  we  cannot  do  m  without 
Bomc  notice  of  the  various  passages 
which  relate  to  fools  and  jesters. — 
Many  jokes  appear  to  have  been  rife 
in  Norfolk  against  the  Paaluos — the 
same  family  who  in  nil  earlier  agu 
were  diatiogiiinhei]  both  for  talent  and 
fondness  for  literalure.  as  is  evident 
from  the  ce iebratcd  col lect ion  of  Ic ttftrs , 
— and  here  are  several  anecdotes  which 
torn  upon  the  Of-scrtion  that  their  race 
bad  uol  Ixwn  withuut  a  fool  for  seve- 
ral generations  (pp.  f,,  |2),  Other 
anecdotes  prove  the  coaimunneM  of

for  their  management,  and  keeping 
faini  in  the  bouse  of  his  committee  "as 
a  tame  knave"  (p.  7)-  In  the  two 
following  anecdotes  we  have  glimpses 
of  Corporation  Fools  and  Court  Fools.

Mr.  Barrow  sat  by,  who,  jealoos  of  the 
speech,  and  observing  many  eyes  upon 
him,  *  Kay,  Sirs,'  sayes  he,  '  /  am  tlic

The  anecdote  relating  to  Court  Fools 
u  as  fultoftra : 

"  Ciisrles  Chciiter,  a  Caart  Foole  in 
Queen  EUnbetb's  time,  o^'il  to  be  girding 
Tcry  ofteii  at  my  Lord  Knolls  and  Sir 
Wntter  Rtilriich.  Sayes  Sir  Walter  Ka. 
ktgh,  *  My  tx)rd,  gett  but  thit  foole  to 
diDQcr  uno  dajr,  and  you  shall  sec  what  a 
trick  woe 'to  serve  liim.'  So  hr  did  ;  and 
whcQ  the  paunch  wu  well  611  'd  (for  he  wa« 
a  ooUble  trcocber  toaa),  and  he  went  out 
of  lliu  chaaiber.  Sir  Walter  R)dui|{h  fuU 
lowed  him.  '  Cotni;,  Sirrsli,'  ftayir!i  lie, 
'  oow  wee  '1  be  rereoKed  on  you  for  nil  your 
rogcriu;  *  and  having  some  scrrants  by, 
lyed  bim  hand  and  footc,  actt  hini  right 
np  in  a  corner,  called  a  mason  or  two, 
boilt  him  up  preseotly  lo  the  chlone,  and 
ao  rinte  ai  he  could  uut  movt:,  and  threal- 
'nett  to  cover  bim  in,  but  that  he  begg'd 
hard  and  iwore  he  would  abute  them  no 
iBore  ;  ao  they  lett  bim  ittand  till  uigbt." 

The  Editor  comiueats  upon  this 
story  thus  : 

*'  We  bare  here  a  name,  which  hai  hi- 
thrrlo,  we  believe,  rrmoined  unrecorded, 
added  to  those  of  I'Arc.  Clod,  and  the 
other  jesters  who  flouriabed  la  that  tiuc, 
aod  ut  the  Court  of  KItzabL-th  ;  for  though 
it  will  he  seen  from  the  following  extract 
from  Aabrey'9  Lives,  ii.  p.  514,  whore 
ChcJiter  apptarb  likewise  a»  the  subject  of 
a  practical  joke  on  the  part  of  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh  (who  IB  uo  doubt  Aubrey's  'Sir 
W.  K.')  that  he  waa  the  origioal  of  Ben 
JoQXOn'a  '  Carlo  Buffone/  he  has  never 
been  known  aa  a  court  jester.  *  In  his 
fJooBon's)  youthful  time  wna  one  Charles 
ChMter,  that  after  kept  compikny  with  hia 
ftcqnaintance  ;  he  was  i  hold  impertinent 
fellonf,  and  tlicjr  could  never  he  at  quiet 
for  him ;  a  perjictual  talker,  and  made  ■ 
Doyse  like  a  drum  in  ■  roomc :  so  one 
lime  St  ttavcrn,Sir  W.  R.  beatcsbimand 
•calea  up  his  mouth,  i.  u.  his  upper  and 
Twtber  t)eard,  with  hard  wax.  From  him 
Ben  Joiuon  takes  his  Carlo  Buffont,  in 
Every  Man  out  of  bis  Humour.' 

"  A  tolerably  complete  list  of  these 
motley  retainers  of  the  English  Court 
might  be  compiled ;  for  the  succcsninn 
scarcely  intorruptrd  from  the  time  of

freedom  at  Philadelphia,  afterwanb  went 
to  Halifax  in  'Soxn  Scotia,  and  there  be- 
ramci  a  aervant  in  the  family  of  the  Duktta 
of  Kent,  whose  cook,  llippolite  Cfli-.ttiorJ 
she  there  married.     She  ailerwards,  whe 
a   widow,   lived   for  seven  years  as   hjgl 
Royal  Highnnu's  laundress  at  Kensingt«i 
ton,  until  in  181G  the  made  an  impnideattJ 
second   marriage,  which  reduced  her  tv' 
poverty.     In   her  latter  years  her  mind 
became  Impressed   with  »o  becoming    s 
sen»e  of  her  rcligioua  duties,  that  the  a«-_ 
thor  of  till))  littl«  volaroa  was  not  only  la^'

now  written  this  memorial  of  her  history, 
under  an  impression  that  her  ciample  vrUl 
be  uaeful  to  others  in  her  station  of  life. 
In    1H.(4    Mr.   bims  procured  from   tho 
Duchess  of  Kent  an  increase  of  Adelaide

that  **  Her  Koyal  Highness  was  all  anx-

man's last  days."      It  was    added   that

very  natural,  had  soUcilcd  tlie  favour  that 
she  might  see  the  child  of  the  Prince  in

The  Erebus  and  Terror  were  botli

ships,  alike  in  build,  in  colours,  in  masts, 
and  riggini^,  snd,  inde^,  in  every  <.'xter- 
nal  ap|K'arance.  An  ioenperienccd  eye 
could  not  tell  the  one  from  the  other. 
The  Erebus  is  about  .170  tons  ;  tbc  Ter- 
ror :iJO.  In  each  the  full  cntnplement 
of  otticers  and  men  ia  (i4 — I2ii  in  all.* 
Nothing  that  tie  art  uf  tbc  shipwright 
could  uccomplibh  has  been  omitted  to

A  million  of  mammies,  it  ia  stated, 
have  lately  been  ditfcoicred  ia  the  eo- 
Tirons  of  Durango,  in  Mexico.  They 
are  in  a  sitting  poatare,  but  have  wrap- 
piogB,  bandii  and  omamcnt^  as  the  Egyp- 
tians ;  amung  tliem  was  foand  a  poi|;Danl

raoccasiai  worked  like  thane  of  our  In-

what  kiod  of  emhalmiDg  was  used,  or 
whether  the  iDummiei  were  preserved  by 
nitrous  depo5ition5  in  the  caves.  A  fact 
of  importance  is  stated,  tlut  necklaces  of 
a  marine  shell  arc  found  at  Zscatecas,  on 
the  Pacific,  where  the  Cnlumbus  of  their 
forefktliers  probably  therefore  landed  from 
Hindostaa.or  from'  the  Malay  or  Chinese 
coast,  or  fVom  their  islands  in  the  Indian 
Ocean.

The  capacious  bonding-pond,  which  iij 
now  being  excavated  u  South  StocttonA 
has  led  to  the  dlscoTffy  of  an  exteoiiivifl 
subterranean  forest.  The  timber  is  chiefly 
Dak.  A  yew  tree,  of  considerable  nae^ 
has  been  foand,  the  wood  of  which  isJ 
Houod  and  good,  and  fit  for  the  turner's] 
tatfae.  Many  of  the  oaks  are  of  Urge  di.  I 
meuiiooa,  and  it  is  expected  some  ol  themJ 
will  bo  suitable  for  the  purpose  of  bsild-l 
ing.  Whilst  examining  thts  ft>rrst,  Dr.! 
Young,  of  Whitby,  with  some  (henda,] 
discovered  one  of  the  oakb  to  bare  beebj 
cut  in  two,  which  had  evidently  been  done] 

frevious  to  iu  being  covered  by  the  earth, 
le  supposes  the  forest  may  have  beca 
cut  down  by  tbe  Roman  soldiers,  u  they 
were  in  tbe  habit  uf  laying  tinober  on  tbel 
low  twanipy  gruunds,  for  the  purpose  ofl 
making  rosila.     Be  this  as  it  may.  it  is T 
certain  the  band  of  man  has  been  exerted  I 
on  the  timber,  and  it   may   form  a  fertile 
subject  for  the   lover  of  aueieut  history 
and  the  geologist  to  >pecuUt«  oa.

cnved  from  Dr.  Lloyd,  in  whose  syitem 
tbe  critical  and  exact  reading  of  the  New

him  a  good  New  Testament  critic,  of 
wbich  a  translation  of  the  whole  of  the 
New  Testament  Scriptures  made  by  bim» 
and  now  partly  printed,  is  said  to  be  a 
valuable  proof. 

He  early  acquired  i  mistcry  of  tbe  fier- 
roan  language,  and  with  it  a  taite  for 
German  literature.  In  \ifii2  the  first  vo- 
lume appeared  of  a  work  wbicb  was  very 
favourably  received,  entitled  *'  Gennan 
Popular  SioricSf'*  which  wiu  followed, 
Hfter  anme  yvars,  by  a  second  volume,  and 
which  has  just  appeared  under  a  new  title, 
tbe  work,  in  its  present  state,  hanog 
been  Iniithed  at  the  preAS  just  before 
fiiB  decease  Another  work  in  the  saroa 
department  of  literature  is  his  "  Lays 
of  the  Minnesingers,"  a  work  of  a  less 
popular  character  than  thi;  former.  These 
works  led  him  into  a  correspondence 
with  Professor  IJrnerke  on  the  Ger- 
man literature  of  the  Middle  Ages. 
Uis  next  publication  was  a  volume  en- 
titled by  him  "The  Book  of  Hightt."  It 
15  a  useful  collection  o(  the  Mirious  Char- 
ters and  Acts  of  I'arUamcnt  by  whicb  the 
liberties  of  tbe  Hnglith  people  ure  ^prurnd. 
To  these  we  tiave  to  add,  bit)  trannlation 
uf  thut  part  of  the  Rtimiiu  de  Kou  of 
Wsce  which  relates  to  the  conqoeat  of

bim  in  1637;  a  volume  copiously  and 
tastefully  embelli.><hedi  and  wherea  spirited 
translittioti  of  a  valuable  hiatoriod  re- 
main is  illu«>triited  by  notes  of  great 
curiu«tty,  and  lull  of  Ictintiiig. 

Beside  these  works,  be  was  tbo  author 
of  numerous  articles  in  ibe  periodical 
wuHcH  of  the  time,  es|ieeially  in  Tht 
Monthly  Repotitorff,  at  tbe  time  when 
chat  work  was  understood  to  be  the

tbe  intended  foundation  of  a  Saxon  So>

the  intense  and  never-cndina  study  of

his  group  of  the  Royal  Academicians,

West,  attracted  much  nitcniion  at  the 
time  it  was  produced,  and  has  been  en- 
graved by  Mr.  llefetland. 

Mr.  Sinffleton  was  in  easy  circum- 
stances, the  rc»ult  of  his  industrioiu  and 
aiodemte  habits.  The  unaffected  sim- 
plicity of  his  manners,  and  the  kindnesc 
of  his  diKpusitiun,  Iwd  endeared  him  to  a 
large  circle  of  friends.     {Ltt.  Gaxeftt^)

and  froiu  much  society  which  he  vnlucd. 
Were  marked  and  adtiun-d  by  all  who  had 
opportunities  of  observing  them.  His 
chief  occupation  in  the  last  year  of  his 
bfv  was  collecting  Memorials  of  his  re- 
moter ancestors  tht?  Meadotriii  and  Fair> 
faxes,  Puritiin  families  ot  note  in  the 
counties  of  Norfolk  and  Suffolk.  These 
he  threw  into  some  kind  of  order,  and  bad 
begun  lu  print  the  more  iiiterer-ting  of 
them,  when  he  was  compelled  to  cease 
from  all  bis  labours. 

On  a  brief  view  of  Mr,  Taylor's  cha- 
racter, it  may  be  said  that  activity  and 
punctuality  were  the  prominent  features 
i4S  a  man  of  business ;  firmness  and  inte-

death  of  Lady  Mahoo,  which  happened 
in  tlie  year  1760,  married  again,  and  by

Tkr  Corj'etpoudence  of  Sir  Thomag  Nanmer,  Bart.  SpeaMer  of  the  Haute  of 
Commons  (  Ufith  a  Memoir  of  his  Life,  7h  which  are  added  other  Reitcs  of 
a  GeHtlfrtnati'n  Family.     Edited  by  Sir  Henn-  Buiibury,  Bart.  1838. 

THIS  b  one  of  those  naiscellaneoiu  rolumea,  that  the  Grct-ks  wootd 
h»ve  called  K^/)«( 'A/iaXfltfa»,  or  IU»r\o>',  or  Att/iw*- ;  ami,  though  sach 
rolnmcs  may  not  produce  much  improflsion  ou  the  public  luind^  which 
require*  things  of  greater  pith  and  momeiil,  yet  arc  they  of  useful 
scnice  to  the  inti-rciits  of  literature.  "  Minulu'  i«ta:  ndoioiiltiones  ucqun- 
i|ukin  fiunt  vcl  ad  nleuduut  studium  irihoncsta*,  vcl  ufl  olilcctandum  frigidoc 
fotYi)dum4|uc  Riilmum."  'Hiey  serve  to  correct  frroncous  stntements, 
or  furnish  iiuptirtnnt  umterials  in  other  works  j  their  value  con- 
silts  ill  their  affording  original  and  authentic  docuuients  \  supplying 
many  a  small,  but  impoi-tant  link  that  was  wantingt  and  filliiig  up 
many  an  unsightly  crevice  with  information  that  waa  previouslv  mthncld. 
Thus  thcjr  derive  an  additional  im|>ortauce  by  the  symiuelrical  beauty  and 
fiuiah  M-hich  tbey  give  to  what  uas  defective  ;  and,  by  a  few  delicate 
touches,  and  suj>p1ementHry  colours,  complete  the  hitherto  imperfect 
picture.  In  this  way,  the  general  Iwdy  of  literature  becomes  gradually 
filled  up,  from  the  same  sources  froui  ivliicli  it  originally  rose.  Of  laic 
years,  the  value  of  such  original  documents  and  family  records  has  been 
duly  estimstefl ;  and  paners  which  have  long  reposed  in  the  cabinets  of 
the  curious,  or  l)cen  buried  in  the  I  umber- rooms  of  our  rural  halU  and  di- 
lapidated mansiim«,  or  been  enlrusted  to  the  care  of  the  old  hou8ekee]»cr 
and  her  favouiite  niece,  have  been  rescued  from  their  ignoble  Iwudage  ; 
aud  brought  forth  to  throw  new  and  unexpected  light  o»  many  compli- 
cated questions,  and  contradictory  or  contested  statcmenta.  Wk  Iiave  an 
msiajice  before  u*.  taken  from  the  Maekiutosh  Papera/  aa  regards 
the  Intrigues  of  Bollngbroke,  and  the  conduct  and  character  of  Han- 
luer :  with  their  assi^ttance.  the  Editor  of  the  ])rcseul  volume  haij  beeu 
enabled  to  comjwiie  a  life  of  liii  relative  that  is  well  worthy  of  perusal ;

1839.]        life  and  Correspondence  of  Sir  Thomas  Hanmer.  445 

tbe  name  of  the  estate  which  he  acquired.     Sir  Thomas  Kanmer,   the 
second  Baronet,  was  "cnp-bearcr"  to  Charles  the  First,  and  liis  portrait 
by  Vandyck  shoivs  him  to  have  been  a  very  handsome  man.     He  left 
behind  liim  in  MS.  Notes  on  the  government  and  cotidition  of  France  during 
his  exile,  and  some  treatises  ou  gardening,  miniature  painting,  &c.  which 
leave  a  very  favourable  impression  of  him,  as  a  person  of  taste,  acquire- 
ments, and  observation.     Sir  John  Hanmer  succeeded,  who  served  with 
distinction  in  the  armies  of  William  the  Third.     William  Hanmer,  son  of 
Sir  Thomas  by  his  second  wife,  Susan  Hervey  of  Ickworth,  married  one  of 
the  daughters  of  Sir  Henry  North  of  Mildenhall,  whose  son  was  the  sub- 
ject of  the  present  memoir.     Thomas  Hanmer  was  boru  24th  Sept.  1677, 
at  Bcttisfield  I'ark,  and  was  educated  nt  Westminster  and  Oxford,  where 
Dr.  R.   Fiiend  was  his  tutor.     On   the  death  of  his   uncle.  Sir  John, 
in   1701,  he  succeeded  to  the  title  and  estates,  while,   in  right  of  his 
mother,  he  had  inherited  the  property  of  the  Norths.     Thomas   Hanmer 
is  described  as  being  tall  and  handsome  in  his  person,  graceful  and  dig- 
nified in  his  manners.     He  carried  from  Oxford  the  reputation  of  being 
a  good  classical  scholar.    Possessing  these  advantages,  ou  his  first  entrance 
into  society,  he  captivated  the  affections  of  Isabella,  the  widow  of  Charles 
the  first  Duke  of  Grafton,  and  married  her  when   he  was  little  more  than 
twenty-one.     She  was  ten  years  older,  but  still  considered  as  one  of  the 
most  striking  beauties  of  the  court.     By  her  powerfnl  connexions  he  was 
introduced  to  the  ac<[uaiutance  of  men  of  the  higiiest  rank,  and  political 
and  personal  imi>ortance.     The  income  of  the  Duchess  wiis  considerable, 
and  her  youthful  husband  at  once  took  his  station  in  society  as  a  person 
of  weight  with  respect  to  fortune,  connexions  and  character.     In    1/02, 
he  represented  his  native  county,  Flint,  in  the  first  Parliament  of  Queen 
Anne  j  he  was  then  in  his  2oth  year.     "Already,"  (says  his  biographer,) 
"  imbued  with  that  attachment  to  the  Koyal  Prerogative,  and  that  unli- 
mited reverence  for  the  Church  of  England,  which  marked  the  whole  of 
his    political  career."      He  sjwke,  however,  but  seldom  ;    cautious  and 
reserved,  and  probably  inclining  towards  Marlboroui;h  and  (todolphin, 
before  their  complete  connexion  with  the  Whigs,  he  took  no  active  part 
in  i>oIitics,  till  the  Hii;h  Church  ferment,  and  the  triumph  of  the  Tories 
in  1710.     Swift,  however,  two  years  before,  had  mentioned  a  question, 
"  as  carried  without  a  division  against   the  Court,  by  Sir  T.  Hanmer's 
oratory."     lie  declined  an  offer  from  the  Duke  of  Shrewsbury  to  be  one 
of  the  five  Commissioners,  to  whom  the  Treasury  was  to  be  confided  ou 
the  dismissal  of  Godolphin.     When  Harley  came  into  power,  T.  Hanmer 
joined  the  October  Club,  consisting  of  high  ultra  Tories,  \vhose  ruling  prin- 
ciple was  to  maintain   the  ascendancy  of  the  High  Church  interest,  and 
support  the  power  of  the  Crown.     AVhen  this  split  (as  it  soon  did)  into 
dinsions,  Hanmer  joined  that  section  of  it  called  by  Swift  '*  the  IJanover 
Tories,"  and  by  BoVmgbrukc  '*the  \VhimsiC(ds."     Harley,  now  Earl  of 
Oxford,  expressed  a  great  desire  to  Hanmer,  that  he  should  accept  office 
under  him  ;   and,  to  conciliate  him,  appointed  him  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee to  consider  and  report  on  the  state  of  the  Nation  ;  but  all  solicita- 
tions, however  repeated,  he  rejected.  On  the  firi^t  of  March,  he  laid  before 
tbe  House  of  Commons  the  celebrated  **  Kcprcacutation."  This  able  and 
elaborate  state  paper  u as  composed  by  Hanmer.     Swift,  speaking  of  it,

out  of  the  dsffb«nt  ptttiet  that  had  secured  his  peacaUe  occnpatioa  of  the 
throne.  This  parlianient  was  dissolved  io  1715  ;  in  the  following,  Han- 
raer  was  elected  for  Suffolk,  bat  no  attempt  was  made  to  replace  him  in 
the  Speaker's  chair.  The  Mackintosh  Papers  hare  thrown  great  light  on 
the  views  and  designs  of  the  different  parties  at  this  time.  ''  I  have," 
says  the  editor  of  this  xoIdibc,  **  proDounced  a  verdict  of  *  guilty '  i^nst 
BolingtNroke ;  "  and  it  appears  that  Sir  T.  Hanmer  coald  not  have  been 
ignorant  of  the  designs  of  thit  party  in  favonr  of  the  Pretender.  His  great 
(S^ect  was  the  security  of  the  Chnrch,  but  his  hatred  of  the  Dissenters 
constituted  his  horror  of  a  Papist  Sovereign.  He  now  appears  to  have 
joined  himself  to  the  Prince  of  Wales's  party,  uutil  iu  1 727,  all  hope  of  tory 
ascendancy  being  relinquished,  be  resigned  his  seat  in  parliament  and 
retired  altogether  from  public  life — procnl  nrbano  strcpitu.  From  this 
period  he  lived  chiefly  in  the  '  secessibus  altis'  of  his  Suffolk  seat,  amusing 
himself  with  gardening  and  literature.  His  n-ife  the  Duchess  had  died  two 
years  previously ;  and,  wanting  an  help  meet  for  him,  he  looked  out  for  a 
second  Eve  to  adoru  his  Suffolk  paradise,  and  married  Elizabeth,  the  only 
child  of  T.  Folkes,  of  Great  Barton.  She  was  very  yonng  compared  to 
him;  and  probably  liked  neither  gardening  nor  literature  ;  neither  collating 
Shakspeare,  nor  concocting  dill  and  Hungary  water  ;  and  so,  while  be  was 
amnsiug  himself  with  the  Merry  Wives  of  Windsor,  she  added  to  Us 
list  of  Errata,  and  eloped  with  her  husband's  cousin,  the  Hon.  Thomas 
Hervey,  "  a  man  full  of  talents,  but  wilder  than  the  winds."  Sir  Thomas 
lost  his  wife,  but  went  on  with  his  collations,  and  kept  possession  of  her 
property;  and  thouffh  he  was  in  after  life  much  pestered  by  the  Paris  who 
had  carried  off  his  Helen,  he,  as  his  kinsman  tells  us, — "  maintained  his 
calm  dignity,  and  baffled  every  assault !"  To  console  himself,  he  is  snp- 
posed  to  have  printed  notes  on  Paradise  I^st,*  and  remarks  on  Hamlet ; 
and  afterwards  projected  a  new  «iitiou  of  Shakspeare's  Plays.  A  copy 
of  Theobald's  edition  of  1 733  is  extant,  with  his  corrections  and  notes 
on  every  play,  in  his  own  writing.  He  disjiiiriiged  Pope's  edition,  and 
Pope,  in  return,  placed  him  in  the  Dnnciad.     Behold  his  picture  ! 

"  There  mored  Moatalto,  with  luiterior  air  ; 
Hii  stretch 'd -out  arm  diaplay'd  a  Tolunie  fair. 
Courtiers  and  patriots  in  two  ranks  divide  ; 
Through  both  he  pasaed,  and  bowed  from  ride  to  side. 
Bnt  as  in  graceful  act,  with  awful  eye, 
Composed  be  stood,  bold  Beudon  thrust  him  by. 
The  decent  knight  retired  with  sober  rage, 
Withdrew  his  hand,  and  closed  the  pompous  page. 
But  (haply  for  him  as  the  times  went  then) 
Appear'd  Apollo's  mayor  and  aldermen, 
On  whom  three  hundred  gold-oapt  youths  await, 
To  bring  the  ponderous  volume  off  in  state.''  &r.

liis  own.     (lannier  addressed  H  letter  on   the  subject  to  Dr.  Smitli,  the 

Provost  of  Queen's  Ciilh'gp,  Oxford,  uhicli  «a8  prepared    for  the  preM, 

niid  H'hich  way  intended  fnr  the  Biographia  Britaniiica.     It  n'n«.,  however, 

:  omitted,  but  Ims  since  been  printed  In  Nichols's  Literary  Anecdotes.     Sir 

' 'J'honias  Haniner  retutiatcson  the  churchman,  and  says  timt   "  Wnrburtoii

'the  inspecting  of  them."     The  Bishop  answered   this,   and   nflirmrd    that 

Ifanntcr's  letter  was  a  continued  fuJaehuod  from  beginning  to  end  ;  and 

that  lie  made  use  of  many  of  Warburton's  ntite»  without  his  knnivlcdgc  or 

ronscnt.     But   it   must    be    rcmnrked    that  the  Bisln'p    wisely   kept    thin 

answer  !iecret,  till  Haniner  hail  been  tifteen  years  in  Ids  grave,    lie  escaped 

lit  length  from  the  auj^r  of  poets  and  the  fickleness  of  jilts,  nn  the  7th 

May,  t7-lt>,  in  the  (tiKty-nihth  year  of  hi$  age.     His  epitaph  was  written 

in  I^Atiu  prose  by  I'riend,  and  pamphrased  in  Knglish  vent  by  Johiifton,  of 

\^hich  the  last  line  is — 

"  Anil  Virtue*!  sorrow  digaffied  bis  tomb.'* 

In  private  life  he  was  loved  and  respected,  was  a  good  landlord,  and  kind 
III  hi;*  poor  dependents.  An  old  yeoman  of  Mildenhall,  whose  father  wa* 
his  tenant,  dcsciilfL-s  him  much  as  lie  appcnis  in  the  Uuiiciad  :  a»  a  purlly 
old  geutletn-iu,  of  a  very  stately  carriage,  accustomed  to  walk  twice  a  day 
to  church  solemnly  on  every  Sunday,  followed  by  all  his  senrants*  aait 
moving  from  his  iron  gates  to  the  porch  of  the  church  between  two  r&nk« 
of  his  tenants  and  itdherents.  who  stood  hat  in  hand,  bowing  reve- 
rently low,  while  the  great  man  acknowledged  their  salutations  by  a  few 
words  and  a  dignified  consideration.  As  a  critic,  he  has  received  very  high 
praise  from  the  highest  authority.  Johnson  says,  he  had  that  intuition 
by  which  the  [toct'a  intention  is  immediately  discerned,  and  that  dexte- 
rity of  intellect,  which  des[>ntche5  its  work  by  the  easiest  means.  He 
says  that  he  retained  all  Hanmer'tf  notes,  and  believes  that  every  render 
nid  wish  for  more.  Upuu  the  whole,  he  seems  to  have  lived  a  respected 
and  hnuourablc  life.  FJappyifhe  had  escaped  the  acquaintance  of  Or. 
William  U'ftrbnrtoD,  and  Aliss  Kli;eabeth  Koikes ! 

«*  For,  TAtLh,  'CwAii  difficult  discerning 
Wliidi  hurt  liJDi  must,  his  love  or  letminf." 

As  we  ndvnncc  in  the  volume  we  next  meet  with  some  lettem  from  Pope, 
in  which  he  veiity  Ids  spleen  against  Sir  <;iMlfrey  Kueller's  fat  widow  in  ni> 
vfiy  mcasuietl  ternns ;  for  *.he  had  threatt'iied  to  build  ri  magtdbceot 
moimment  to  her  husband's  memory,  by  distroying  one  previously  creeled 
by  the  poet.  He  tells  Lord  SialTonl,  to  whom  he  is  rouiplaintng. — 
"yon  may  find  it  very  inconvenient  on  a  Sunday  (your  usual  day  of  re4t

We  tbiuk  that  we  have  now  extracted  from  this  volume  the  parU  of  the

and  a  Lieutenant  in  the  nrmy,  who  died  in  India  in  1803.  Atuong  the 
poema,  we  recognised  one  that  we  bad  long  been  ncquatntcd  with  without 
the  nauieof  the  author  of  it,  being  known  toua.  In  the  notes  to  Mr.  Rof^cn's 
exquisite  poem,  "  The  Pleasures  of  MemorjV  is  one  ns  follows: — "The 
folio wingstanztiB  are  said  to  bavc  been  written  ou  a  blank  leaf  of  this 
poem.  They  present  so  aflecting  a  revcrac  of  the  picture  that  I  cannot 
resist  the  opportunity  of  introducing  them  here."  As  to  some  of  oor 
renders  they  may  probably  be  altogether  new,  we  will  transcribe  them  : 
they  will,  doubtlcHS,  like  onrselves.  be  pleased  witli  the  elegnnce  of 
the  language,  and  the  teuderne>4S  of  the  sentimentu  ;  but  they  will  lamsnt 
that  the  exprension  in  the  concluding  Une  is  as  offensive  to  good  taste,  as 
it  is  to  good  principle,  and  wo  trust  most  have  dropt  In  an  uogmuded

[Nov. 


entering  the  town;  it  is  of  light  stone,  built  round  a  qoadranglc,  with 
tnwcrt'd  comers,  and  grand  portico.  Spacious  valoon.  and  suite  of  lofty 
apartoicntij,  iudicatiug  neglect  and  decavj  puiutings  in  all.  principally  per* 
traits,  some  resijcctablc.  Sweet  half-fcngth  of  Charles  the  First  by  Van- 
dyrk  ;  find  a  family  piece  of  hifi  children,  uith  a  dug,  clear  and  brilliant* 
and  fresh  ;  beside  a  wholc-lengtii  figure  by  Wr  Joshua  Reynolds,  broken  lo 
pieces  by  partially  flying.  The  iWmA  Duke  of  Alva  wth  hi8secrctar\Ma- 
chiavel,  by  Titian,  but  not  corresponding  to  his  general  excellence-  IVome- 
thcua  torn  by  a  Vulture,  very  fine,  something  between  Jordaens  and  Kubena ; 
but  without  quite  the  force  of  tlie  former,  or  the  splendour  of  the  latter.  Two 
singular  pieces  of  the  Marriage  at  Cana,  and  its  companion,  with  a  multi- 
tude of  figures,  and  light  silvery  background,  dated,  1  think,  loTli  failing 
from  a  deficiency  of  chiaro-oscuro  ;  a  very  large  Canaletti,  damaged  and 
flat,  and  feeble  in  iljj  effect:  a  Doge  of  Venice,  in  gorgeous  costomc} 
Henry  the  Eighth  :  Edward  the  Sixth  by  Holbein,  very  highly  finished  \ 
and  a  head  of  Cromwell,  Enrl  of  E^sex,  clear,  fresh  and  smooth,  and  true 
to  nature,  without  boiTowingfrom  art.  Many  of  Sir  Peter  I^lys  portraits, 
in  a  falsetto  style  ;  fine  portrait  of  a  dark  lu.in  (unknnirn)  in  black,  with 
piercing  eyes  ;  a  landscape  by  Mnla,  with  fipircs  in  the  style  of  Poussia, 
but  dim  and  beavy.  and  h  itliout  any  of  the  dewy  freshness  ascnbed  to  liim. 
'I1ic  chapel  handsome,  the  altar-piece  painted  by  Peters.  The  staircase 
gorgeously  decorated  by  Pellcgrine,  rich  woods  on  the  acclivities  ronnd  the 
house,  producing,  however,  but  a  hea\y  eflFcct. 

Jttne  12.  Viewed  W'ancick  Castle.  Exquisite  approach  from  the  outer 
to  the  inner  portal,  hewn  through  the  rock,  and  overshadowed  with  trees  ; 
viewed  the  paintings  >vitli  fresh  interest,— a  profusion  of  VaudyckSr  true 
to  nature,  but  with  a  pictorial  effect, — the  finest  of  the  painter,  most  ani- 
mated and  striking.  Exquisite  portrait  of  a  Queen  of  Naples  by  KafTactc, 
tx)ntbiniug,  in  a  wonderful  degree,  sweetness,  grace,  and  dignity.  In  the 
gorgeous  figure  of  Ignatius  Loyola  by  Hubcus^  in  the  form  of  Moses  holding 
the  tablets,  the  draper)-,  by  its  splendour,  overpowering  the  bead,  though 
surrounded  with  a  glorj-.  Another,  opposite,  of  the  Karl  of  Arundel,  by 
the  same,  rich  and  spirited,  but  yielding,  I  thinks  to  the  unnflccled  Irutli 
and  character  of  Macliiavel  by  Titiuu.  The  two  monks*  heads  in  the 
Ixtwered  drcssing-rooni,  a  study  by  Ru1>ens,  surpassingly  fine,  and  oharnc- 
terislie  of  his  style,  trusting  more  to  the  splendour  of  his  HghU  than 
the  depth  of  his  shadows.  Two  Poussins,  heavy  and  dingy,  and  surely 
ivitli  little  tnilh  of  nature.  Charles  the  First  on  horst^back,*  copied,  I 
think,  by  Sir  ti.  KncUcr,  fronj  Vundyck  -,  the  King's  head  much  loo  «*, 
but  the  horse  adutirably  foreshortened,  and  the  attendant  excellent.  A 
clear  and  sweet  Teniers  in  the  bowercd  dressing-ronm.  The  views  from 
the  wiudows  exquisitely  beautiful ;  the  interior  of  the  Castle  strikingly 
grand  and  picturesque.  Kctunied  to  the  inn,  and  saw  Dr.  Parr  dismount 
from  his  charger,  (►ale  and  infirm,  witli  grey  bushy  eyebrows  and  prelo- 
tical  air.

'  that  nf  Sir  .•Vrthitr  U'ardour ;  but  Lovell'tt  passion  for  Miss  H'ardoor  is 
l.*brQp(ly  introduced,  and  awkwardly  conducUd.  The  deticriptive  sonrey 
!  in  the  acrentb  chapter.  Is  trAU&cendenlly  fine.  The  narrative  loiters  and  lan- 
Ljniisbes  greatly  at  the  outset,  and  is  only  redeemed  in  interest  by  the  duel. 
iTbe  scene  at  St.  Ruth's  Abbey  is  confused  and  extravngan't,  and  the 
I  description  ofCIcnallan  House  and  its  lands  is  orercfaai^ed.  The  author

who  tud  35  children,  by  tno  wives,  \v:is  the  first  person  who  introdaced 
the  moss-rose  into  Kngland,  supposed  from  Holland. 

Sept.  29.     Read  (ialt's  Life  and  Studies  of  Benjamin  West  the  pninter, 
Idrawn,  apparently,  from  his  oun  memoranda.     They  are  tinctured,  pro- 
Ibsbly  on   this  account,  ivith  a  singular  species  of  eDthostasm;  and  past 
l«venta  are  manifestly  mag;ui6cd   in   retrospect  beyond  their  due  impor- 
Ituice  i  but  the  whole  is  interesting,  as  developing  the  incitements  and 
l|»rogre«s  of  a  self-instructed  mind  :  the  effects  npon  such  a  mind  of  being 
nddenly  transported  from  the  mdc  beginnings  of  the  New  World  in  Penn- 
lylrania  to  the  decaying  glories  in  Italy  of  tliu  old,  ore  above  measore  cap- 
Itivatlug.     The  Apollo  Belvidere,  when  suddenly  unfolded  to  his  view, 
appeared  a  breathing  Mohawk  i  but  the  retincments  nf  Raffaele  were  at 
first  iaeffectivc  ;  as  natural  scenery,  it  is  observed,  however  magnificent^ 
does  not  M;em  in  itself  calculated  to  excite  poetical   enthusiasm  -,  it  mnst 
Ibe  connected,  for  this  purpose,  with  fit  associations  in  the  mind  of  the  ob- 
server.    Poetry  is  defined,  the  art  of  connecting  ideas  of  sensible  objects 
with  moral  sentiments.    Mercantile  men,  it  is  observed,  are  habituated,  by 
the  nature  of  their  transactions,  to  overlook  the  intrinsic  qualities  of  the 
Tcry  commodities  in  which  they  deal.     Of  Plutarch,  he  affirms,  that,  like 
Ite  sculptors  of  old,  he  selected  only  the  great  and  elegant  traits  of  cba« 
icter. 

Oct.  8,  The  Ebony  Cabinet,  painted  by  Polemberg  and  B.  ran  Rus- 
■an,  from  the  Arundel  Collection,  was  purchased  by  Lord  Oxford,  for  £310. 
The  \Vi)tou  collection,  it  is  now  afcertained,    contains   few  antique  or 

fenuine  busts.  The  Faun  at  Holkham  is  decidedly  esteemed  to  be  tho 
nest  male  statue  in  England. t  The  Diana  in  the  same  collection  cost 
^1500/.  The  reason  assigned  by  the  Empresn  Catharine  for  declining  to 
purchase  au  enquislte  bust  of  M.  J.  Bnitus  is  excellent, — "  That  it  was  a 
piece  unsuitable  to  the  genius  of  her  tmpirc."  What  a  compliment  to  the 
shnde  of  the  patriot:  yet  there  was  some  degree  of  magnanimity  in 
giving  her  ime  reasons'  A  first-mte  statue  seems  worth  from  j^lOOO 
to  sS2Q0O.    Se«  Dallaway  on  Sculpture.

[Nof. 


Oct.  23.  Begun  the  Cniloden  Papers.  The  Editor  obserreB  In  the  la- 
troductioD  that  those  who  possess  real  ^enias  aUrays  feel,  at  the  age  ot 
puberty,  poetic&l  associations  ;  a  kiud  of  soaring  of  the  sool.  as  ifemuloas 
to  keep  pace  with  the  grosser  passions: — a  dcvv  and  just  remark!  He 
who  passes  over  as  uothiog  the  iujustice  of  others,  he  likL'wiRc  reioarks. 
will  not  be  scrupulously  rigid  in  regulating  himself,  Dnncan  Forbes' 
letter  to  the  Duke  of  Argjle,  dated  Inverness,  Sept.  '21,  1723,  is  UDCom- 
monly  maidy.  feeling,  and  spirited.  "The  study  of  my  life, "  be  finely 
observes.  *'  since  ever  I  had  the  honour  to  be  known  to  your  Grace,  was 
to  merit  yoor  good  will  by  honest  actions :  I  was  fond  enough  to  belieiv 
that  I  had  gained  some  share  of  it:  and  I  do  assure  your  Grace,  that 
nothing  in  nature  can  affect  mo  more  than  the  loss  of  it,  eiceptinff  tmljf 
the  deserving  to  loie  it."  Lord  Lovat's  letters  display  a  most  remarkable 
mixture  of  suppleness,  shrewdness,  and  profligacy,  conveyed  in  the  gam- 
bols of  a  mischicvons,  babooni^h  playfulness. 

Oct.  2-1.  Piireucrt  the  Cullodcn  Pnpt'rs.  l»rd  Lovat's  letters  are 
very  amusing  The  fawning  fondness  with  whicli  ho  addresses  tboM 
whom  he  intends  to  win  :  the  sarage  ferocity  which  occasionally  breaks 
ont  against  his  enemies  and  the  enemies  of  his  elnn  ;  and  the  air  of  French 
vivacity,  and  seeming  frankness,  in  which  the  whole  is  couched,  are  highly 
corious  ;  he  most  have  been,  altogether,  an  oitraordiimry  character.  Dtrp 
drinking  seems  to  have  been  the  great  vice  of  the  lime;^,  Duncan  Forbci 
breaks  out  occasionally  nud  accidcntritly  as  the  jolly  bottle-companion, 
and  une  is  surprised  to  hear  the  Lord  Advocate  and  President  talk  to  General 
Wade  of  being  damnahhj  tired  of  the  Highlands.  7''he  caiidoor  and  gentle- 
ness, in  resentment,  whicli  he  evinces  to  a  Mr.  Sleigh  in  the  172d  Letter, 
do  infinite  credit  to  his  judgment  and  his  heart.  It  appears  that  the 
KELT  w^a  not  introduced  into  the  Highlands  till  1720,  nud  then,  by  an 
Englishman. 

Vet.  29.     It  appears  frnroTsrious  letters  that  Dnncan  Forbes,  with  all 

of 
the 


his  means  of  information,  was  ntterly  deceived,  newly  up  to  the  time 
ini'asion  in  l/W,  with  resi>ect  to  the  Jacobinical  spirit  preraloDt  in 
Highlands :  and  that,  for  a  considerable  time  alter  it,  he  wns  serionsly  th« 
dupe  of  Lord  Lovat's  artihces.  The  confusion  on  this  invasion  was  maoi- 
fcstly  extreme  ;  and  hod  the  Pretender  been  {wworfully  assisted  from 
France,  there  is  every  probability  that  he  would  have  succeeded. 

Dfc.  18.  Called  and  chatted  with  C.  D.  He  mentioned  the  brilliant

etaace  I  eipress  my  opmtoa  withoat 
reserve  and  ingenuonslr.  for  the  ge- 
nius I  possess  is  iiot  my  owd  creation, 
but  a  gift.  Tbc  comparison  tJicy 
would  draw,  sefms  to  me  as  egre- 
gious as  to  parallel  myself  with  Shaks* 
peare, — a  being  of  the  highest  order  of 
numaa  inteUect, — that  immortal  bard, 
whose  greatness  I  contemplate  yeith 
veneration  and  delight. 

What  a  truly  astonishing  man  Is 
AtrsoHiler  Humhnldt  !  I  have  had  the 
honour  and  privilege  of  his  friendship 
and  acquaintaace  for  some  years  :  and 
it  is  therefore  that  1  admire  him  the 
more,  and  with  the  liveliest  degree  of 
pleasure.  I  think  1  may  state,  with- 
out being  censured  for  ray  opinion, 
that  ill  his  peculiar  department  of 
science  we  liave  not  hiit  equal.  His 
accomplishments  are  universal  in  their 
nature,  and  of  the  highest  order.  I 
have  not  in  the  course  of  my  life  had 
the  advantage  of  meeting  with  a  mind 
80  profound  as  his.  On  whatever  gidu 
he  may  range  himself  in  the  field  of 
controversy,  he  is  always  harnessed 
for  the  conflict,  and  never  fails  to  come 
off  victor.  He  pours  fortli  the  trea- 
sares  of  bis  learning  wiib  the  kucccs- 
oivc  force  and  power  of  an  inuiidalion. 

I  CAD  oniy  compare  his  wisdom  to 
the  waters  of  a  pcrpctuol  fountain, 
which  springs  forth  without  intcrmia- 
aioo. 

Of  Sftahpforf,  one  can  scarcely 
apeak  ;  there  is  something  so  Franti- 
ceadent  in  his  very  name  :  all  that  we 
can  imagine  of  him  is  below  hia  exalted 
genius.  Many  of  his  characters  arc  of 
that  unearthly  nature,  as  to  be  scarcely 
tangible  to  mortal  mind ;  and  are 
therefore  incopablc  of  being  repre- 
sented, as  it  is  only  the  imaginatiDQ 
that  can  in  any  measure  form  an 
adequate  estimate  of  their  beau- 
ties. His  inind  is  not  to  be  com- 
pressed into  scenic  forms ;  a  mJnd 
whose  gigantic  expansion  was  tuu 
boundless  to  be  confined  to  the  visible 
world. 

How  is  it  that  he  is  so  rich  and 
ftO  powerful  *  Such  is  the  laxuriancc 
•nd  fertility  of  his  genius,  that  one  of 
his  creative  characters  would  afford 
a  sufficient  source  of  study  to  an  in- 
ventirt  mind  ffir  a  vcar.  I  think 
i   acted    I 


moot,"  in  refraining  from  embarrasa*! 
ing    those    worVs    by  any    train  or 
line     of    imagination    derived    from 
him.    I  also  consider  that  Lord  Byron 
was    commendable   in    following    the  I 
bent  of  hid  own  genius,  and  not  al-  I 
lowing    it   to  be  trammeled  by  that  | 
of  Shakspeore's.    How  many  German  j 
poets  would  have  been  eminent  had] 
they  adopted   this  practice ;  but.  un* 
fortunately  for  themselves,  they    en- 
deavoured tu  weave  their  imagination 
into  the   genius  of    Shakspcare    and 
Calderoo,  and  thus  destroyed   them- 
st'lvfs.     Shftkspeare    presents    to   us . 
gulden  apples  on  silver  platters:  but! 
we, — who  study  his  writings,  and  ap- 
propriate his  idea<!, — but  we,  if  we  may 
be  allowed  to  indulge  in  the  compari- 
son, give  in  return  potatoes  ioBdverj 
salvers;     thus    is    the    degeneration | 
of  ideas  between  him  and  us. 

^yrori  may  be  considered  in  three 
distinct  respects  ;  first  as  a  man,  as  an 
Englishman,  an<l  as  an  eminent  ge- 
nius. Hi»f/tMM/ qualities  belonged  to  the 
man,  his  bad  ones  to  the  Koglish,  and 
as  a  Peer  of  Great  Britain  • — but  as  n, 
Poet,  his  elevation  of  mind  is  immea- 
surable. In  all  the  productions  that  it- 
sued  from  his  pen,  be  was  successful : 
and  it  may  be  truly  said,  that  his  iospi- 
ration  kept  pace  with  his  rellection. 
Byron  could  not  resist  the  impuUe 
for  making  poetry,  for  it  existed  in  his 
ver)'  soul.  All  that  proceeded  from 
him  was  not  only  poetry  of  the  hear!, 
but  waA  also  perfect  in  its  nature.  If 
I  may  draw  a  comparison,  1  would  say 
that  he  produced  his  poems  with  a 
similar  disposition  to  that  of  women. 
when  "  fnceinte,"  who,  in  the  hope  of 
producing  a  beautiful  pnigeny,  arc  un- 
mindful uf  the  sufTerings  they  have  to 
endure  ;  the  Issue  seems,  os  it  were,  to 
be  an  involuulnry  prodnction :  soch  m 
the  facile  conception  of  Byron  ;  whi 
hail  the  poetical  spirit  rumpletely  at 
command.  His  genius  was  unique,  and 
of  great  poetical  power:  which  bhonr

Botwiihstandiag  be  ' 
to  be  able  lo  repeat  from  roemory  a 
great  portion  of  his  v-ritiogs.  Tliat 
elevated  yet  imbic  rcpnnc  of  soul  which 
19  diaplayod  ia  Shok^pcare,  caatMl 
Byron  some  degree  of  oaFasiness.  He 
ivaa  fully  aware  that  he  could  never 
ascend  so  high  in  the  scale  of  human 
eminence,  as  to  be  placed  upon  a  kvel 
■with  the  Swan  of  Atod. 

Byroa  ba»  always  been  high  in  hti 
commeiidatioDs  of  Pope  ;  becauu  be 
}>ad  nuthiag  to  fear  from  him  on  the 
score  of  a  profoiiod  poetical  gienius. 

Byron'i  raok  as  an  English  peer 
was  in  some  measure  a  drawbaca  to 
the  full  scope  of  his  geoios;  as  talrnt 
is  too  frequently  embarrassed  by  the 
blandiithraentft  of  the  external  world, 
and  the  secular  advantages  of  hi;^h  life 
aodfortune.  Uappcarstomethattalent 
more  grncrally  shines  when  placed  to 
a  middle  course ;  she  seems  to  court  a 
modest  position,  as  is  erident  from  the 
many  distinguished  artists,  scholars, 
and  eminent  men, -whohavL' sprung  from 
such  M  source.  Byron's  ioaatiable  tie- 
sires  would  not  have  been  so  insur- 
mountable tohim,  had  he  been  placed  in 
■  middle  «itaatioQ  in  society  ;  bat  as  be 
Tffas  circumstanced,  he  could  notwilh- 
oat  censure  abandon  himself  to  those 
fonamerable  vagaries  in  which  he  in* 
dolgcd  ;  by  this  means  he  was  drawn 
into  numerous  quarrels,  which  in  the 
end  produced  in  him  aa  entire  con- 
tempt for  the  world. 

(Jenerally  speaking,  the  greater  part 
of  the  life  of  the  English  nobility  ii 
spent  in  fighting  duels,  in  hunting,  in 
•loping  with  femalrs,  and  all  other 
species  of  sensual  enjoyment.*  l-ord 
Bymo  himself  relates  that  his  own  fa- 
iher  seduced  three  women,  and  thn*i' 
married  ones  ;  could,  therefore,  the  «.ti 
of  such  a  father  be  eipectcd  lo  be 
more  reasonable  .* 

If  Byron  cuuld  have  espreiwd  his 
■pirit  of  uppusitinn  in  hi»  parlia- 
rotntanr  spcechn,  he  would  have  bcMt 
more  pure  as  a  poet;  but,  a*  he  ws*

unrivalled  and  alone.  Mis  dramatic

that  no  oaf  dare  attempt  to  imitate  him. 
His  "  3/art-,*'  in  which  nil  his  great

Mr.  Corney's  observations  on  tbe

in  the  defence  of  which  1  am  perconaUy 
interested. 

This  article  is  the  biography  of 
Ralph  Agas.  or  Aggas.  In  the  first 
place  Mr.  Corney  contends  that  Agas's 
christian  name  should  beHadolph  and 
not  Ralph  <  was  not  Mr.  Corney  aware 
that  Ralph  is  the  common  contraction 
frnm  Radolph.  aad  Radnlpbos  in

tbe  pa]>cr  is  indorsed  as  being  from  the

sidcrcd  very  heinous  in  lliose  days.  I 
ean  scarcely  imugioe  ihat  Mr.  Comey 
was  ignorant  enough  to  quibble  on  the 
manner  of  spelling  theBurnamc  Aggea 
or  Agas,  when  he  fepells  it  in  two  of 
his  engravinfiis  Ayyas,  and  in  liis  worki 

At^OB. 

Mr.  Corncy  proceeds ;  he  remarks 
that  Agas  wrote  no  work  etttUled  a 
treatise  on  surveying.  Now  this  is 
one  of  the  most  reniarkable  specimens 
of  misapplied  ingenuity  that  I  have 
ever  noticed.  The  ' '  new  biographer  " 
says  lliat  Agas  tcrote  a  trealho  oh  fur- 
i^iiuf,  thf  vnlji  copy  of  which  that  wr> 
havt-  Fitm  voM  in  the  latf  Mr.  Hefm-'$ 
library.  The  title  of  the  book,  in  the 
»ale  catalogue  of  Mr.  Heber's  hbrary. 
is  A  pnrj'antlhv  to  platting  of  tandra 
auft  tpnemeittes  for  sitrreigh  t  but  Ibis, 
according  to  Mr.  C'orney,  is  not  a 
treatise  on  .surveying,  but  only  a  tract 
on  the  mensuration  of  lands! 

The  "new  biographer"  refers  to  a 
manuscript  in  tlie  I^nsdowne  collec- 
tion by  Agas,  and,  [  believe,  for  the 
first  time.     There   are,    indeed^  two 


[Not. 


short  notes  io  his  handwriting  aiooog 
the  Burghley  papers,  neither  of  which 
are  important.  Hut,  Mr.  Corney. 
however  much  he  affects  to  despise  the 
"  new  biographer,"  does  not  heiitate 
at  making  use  of  his  references,  for, 
on  the  I2ih  of  September  lost,  1  find* 
tliat  he  referred  to  both  these  MSS.  in 
the  Briiifth  Museum,  and  I  have  there- 
fore a  must  fair  ground  for  presump* 
tion  that  he  was  not  previously  ac- 
quainted with  them.  But,  as  Mr. 
Corney  has  gone  hn  far  out  of  the 
coramoQ  road  in  his  criticism,  I  do 
not  see  why  1  should  not  raise  aquer)- 
on  that  gentleman's  own  infallibilityi 
What  authority-  has  he  for  staling  tr 
Lord  Burghlcy  was  sensible  of  Ag. 
merit  ?  U  it  merely  because  that 
bleman,  whose  library  was  a  genei 
receptacle  for  all  written  papers,  has 
prcscn>-cd  two  paltry  notes  in  his  auto- 
graphy? J.  O.  Halliwill.

THE  building  represented  in  the

Perkins,  M.A.  Vicar  of  Wootton  under

and  to  whose  zeal  and  activity  the  in-

was  intended  to  scnc  the  double  dec 
of  a  National  School  for  giils  and  a

view  bhews  it  is  welt  designed  for  the 
latter  structure.  The  architecture  is 
of  tlio  time  of  Edward  the  First.  The 
beautifully  wrought  door-case,  seen  on 
the  side  of  the  structure,  is  copied  from

Thf  HhtorittH  Gibbon^ — Ills  Autabh^graphy. 


Mr.  Uruak,        Cork,  Aug,  IS. 

WTTH  the  lamentable  reserve  oriiiii 
•nticlirUtian  reelings,  lo  no  historian 
of  mocteru  times  cnn  a  higher  place  bo 
assigned,  iti  whatever  light  we  con- 
template bis  great  work,  than  to  Gib- 
bon ;  nor,  ta  the  accompli^hmi-nta  oa 
a  writer,  which  have  raised  him  to 
tbia  eminence,  is  there  a  quality  more 
strikingly  conspicuuus,  when  nut 
counteracted  by  that  unhappy  perver- 
BJon  of  mind,  than  his  accuracy  of 
Tiewa  and  fidelity  of  statements. 
EiTora,  no  doubt,  havcfaUcn  undercrlt- 
cfll animadversion;  but.  conftidered  ge- 
nerally,his  "Decline  and  Full"  exhibits 
fewer,  it  may  be  conlideDtly  main- 
tained, than  any  extant  conipositiDO 
of  equal  scope  and  compaaa.  His 
ablest  editors  or  commentators.  Gut- 
tot  and  Milman,  unite  in  this  tribute 
of  justice,  04  may  be  accn  in  the  latter 
reverend  gentleman's  jireface;  and.  on 
the  Continent,  according  to  the  dis- 
tinguished Frenchman,  Gibbon  iscoo- 
ataiilly  cited  aa  authority.  His  book. 
as  he  anticipated,  "  hoa  struck  root  " 
(Life,  page  295) ;  and  it  would  be  diffi- 
cult, indeed,  to  name  a  writer,  on  the 
-whole,  better  entitled  to  challcngn 
inquiry,  aod  soy,  "What  core  I  what 
curious  eye  doth  quote  infirmities !" 
(Kotnco  and  Juliet,  act  i.  ee.  4.) 

But,  ifthis  bo  the  undeniable  merit 
of  his  great  achievement,  which,  from 


tta  comprehenBive  frame  and  varied 
import,  justly  entitles  him  to  our  in- 
dulgrnce  for  an  incidental  lap»e,  we 
arc  the  less  prepared  for  such  a  dcvi. 
Btioti  in  his  autobiography — the  record 
of  his  own  independent  thoughts  or 
acts,  based  on  vivid  iropresbions,  and 
supplied  by  a  nio»t  tenacious  memory. 
Yet,  that  this  publication,  intereating. 
probably,  beyond  any  similar  work  in 
our  language,  and  standing,  in  its 
kind,  on  an  equal  pre-eminence  with 
hta  more  elaborate  enterprizL-.  does 
present  un  apparent  oversight  of  fact 
and  time,  will,  I  think,  result  from  a 
consideration  of  the  proofs  which  I 
shall  adduce;  and  another  instance 
will  thus  csl<ib!i^h  the  oft-experienced 
superiority  of  ciicomstantial  over  per. 
aonol  evidence.  A  great  name  must, 
as  on  former  occasions,  furnish  an 
excuse  for  the  seeming  insignificance 
of  the  subject;  though  for  these  mi- 
nute investigations  of  truth,  I  may  arm 
myself  with  the  highest  authority,

At  page  2<3l  of  the  .Memoir*  of  his 
Life  aud  Writings.  (Milmau's  edition,) 
Gibbon  says,  "On  the  Continent  my

rctgncd  when  the  third  ^unr/o  volume, 
which  contains  this  paragraph^  waa 
published — that  is,  in  April  1781  ;  and 
the  consciousness  of  his  own  inferiority 
may  have  suggested  to  Louis  that  the 
assimilation  to  the  degenerate  sons  of 
Tlicodosius  referred  to  himself,  iu  coa> 
junction  with  his  kinsmen  of  Spain 
and  Naples.  That  the  allusion  waa 
thus  interpreted  by  the  reading  public 
at  the  time  is  pretty  certain,  and  waa 
quite  natural ;  but  as  the  intention  U 
cooatructivcly.  though  not  explicitly, 
disavowed  by  Gibbon,  we  arc  bound 
to  believe  him.  Not  no,  however,  the 
averment,  positive  as  it  seems,  that 
the  passage  was  written  before  the 
acceasiun  of  Louts  to  the  tlirone ;  and

regariling  himself— that  I  venture  to 
impugn  this  declaration;  but  my  wea- 
pons shall  be  furnished  by  his  own 
armoury. 

The  closing  |>ages  of  chapter  3U,  in 
which  this  passage  is  found,  must, 
from  their  object  and  tenor,  have  been 
the  corollary  of  the  preceding  narra-

[flurely  it  little  credible,  that  the  final

bounding  over  intermediate  centuries, 
anticipate  conclusions  dependent  on  a 
preceding   recital.      The   fmal    para-

written  otherwise  than   as  it  is   pre- 
|.0ented,  t^flrr,  not  before  what  antvecd-

seven  years  on  the  thronf,  though,  ac-

Kvcry  circumstance,  in  truth,  con- 
nertt'd  with  the  history  itself,  or  de- 
rivable from  Gibbon's  Memoirs,  refutes 
the  date  to  which  he  assigns  the  para-

We  may,  truly,  yield  implicit  cre-

tery; for  the  ill-fated  Lnuis  was  then

ni,"  (Hor.  Epist.  ii.  2,)  aa  the  am- 
biguity of  this  disavowal,  which  he 
substantially  makes,  while  declaring 
that  he  will  not  do  so,  amply  shews, 
and  as  it  would  be  easy  to  illustrate 
by  abundant  quotations.  Thus,  in  his 
Memoirs,  p.  -49,  the  love  of  antithesis 
betrays  him  into  something  hnrderjng 
on  a  bluoder^  when  he  says,  "  I  have 
never  posscseed  or  nbu.scd  the  inso- 
leuce  of  health  ;  " — but  how  he  could 
abase  what  he  did  not  possess,  is  not 
very  intelligible.  The  opening  para- 
graph of  his  History  presents,!  ob- 
serve, the  same  thought,  but  free  in 
construction  from  the  hibmttaH  point 
invulvcd  in  the  former  phrase.  "  Their 
(the  subject  natioiia)  peaceful  inhabi- 
tants enjoyed  and  abused  the  advan- 
tages of  wealth  and  luxury ;  "  and,  in 
his  Memoirs,  p.  303,  he  repeats  that 
he  never  knew  "  the  madncBS  of  su- 
perfluous health." 

No  English  writer,  at  the  same 
time, abounds  with  more  pregnant  cvi- 
dence  of  the  power  and  copiousness 
of  our  tongue — none  more  eloquent, 
more  condensed  or  energetic  in  its  usfi« 
He  is  peculiarly  felicitous  in  bis  traus- 
latiooa  ;  for  there,  as  has  been  said  of 
the  Italian  interpreters  of  the  clasoica^ 
his  imagination  is  coerced,  without 
impairing  the  riches  and  command  of 
hi:4  language.  His  occasional  versions 
of  Tacitus  are  admirable,  as  may  be 
teen  in  chapter  9  of  the  "  Dcchnc  and 
Kail-,"  end  it  would  be  difficult,  indeed, 
to  prnduce  anything  superior  to  bis 
translation  of  Mootcsquiou's  beautiful 
illustiatiun  of  the  power  of  religion — 
**  Un  prince,  t|ui  aimc  la  religion,  et

ch.  2.)  This  passage,  which  forms 
part  of  a  more  extended  parallel,  baa 
been  applied  by  Gibbon  (chapter 
28)  to  Thcodosius,  bowed  in  sub- 
missioo  to  St.  Ambrose'^  repulse,

iM»Bfl  volume  of  StAtesmen,  where, 
■t  page  '21%,  he  maintaiod.  that,  save 
bU  Confi»inonx,  the  citizen  of  G«neva 
wrote  im  inferior  Fre»rh.  With  all 
due  reapfict  for  his  lordship,  I  cannot 
hMJtatc  to  express  my  surprixo  at 
■ach  an  opinioa,  or  to  qualifir  it  as 
one  utterly  unwarranted  by  any  native 
authority,  and  hax&rdous,  indeed,  on 
the  part  of  a  roreign«r,  whose  oppor- 
tunities of  ftC(]uiriog  a  right  to  pro- 
nounce BO  depreciatorya judgimenton. 
with  the  «tngle  exception  of  Voltaire, 
the  moat  popular  author  in  France, 
must  have  tma  very  limited.  No  one 
can  deptorc,  more  than  1  do,  Roqb- 
•ean'a  abuse  of  hia  power  of  language ; 
bat  hie  poaussiun  of  it,  in  the  lii^hest 
desree  aad  purest  style,  is  undeniable, 
A  few  proviflcralisms  may  be  traced, 
with  BOTDe  antiquated  idiomi  from 
Montaigne  and  Amyot.  which  were 
the  adoptions  of  his  choice,  as  more 
iafiiBive  of  strength,  and  surely  not 
the  indications  of  an  inferior  or  ex- 
hausted viicabulary.  And,  when  his 
lorxiship  appeals  to  the  NouwlU  //e- 
(otH,  in  support  of  hi^  sentiments,  he 
forgets  that  the  personages  of  this 
romance  are  made  to  use  the  language 
•Qlted  to  their  position  t  for  Rousseaa 
anticipates  (he  objection,  in  express 
ifiros  : — "  Quiconque,"  says  he,  in  the 
preface,  "veut  se  r^soudrc  a  lire  cet 
lettrca,  doit  s'armcr  d'avance  dc  pa- 
tience ear  Ifs  fantcs  de  langue !  il  doit 
M  dire  que  ceax  qui  lea  ecriveot  oe 
aont  pas  dcs  Frangois,  des  beaux 
aaprita,  des  acod^miciens  .....  mais 


des  provinciaax,  des  Strangers.  "  He 
claims  indulgence  for  simple,  unso- 
phisticated inhabitAnIs  of  remote 
Switzerland,  though  the  book  still 
teems  with  pasanges  of  gplendid  c)o> 
rjgence.  But  has  the  learned  Peer 
never  read  HouMeau's  "  Discours  sur 
rinegalit^  des  Conditions,"  with  tta 
unrivalled  dedication ;  or  "  L'Emilc  •/' 
or  again,  "  Lc  Devin  du  Village  ;"  all, 
in  thei  r  kind,  compositions  which 
place  him  in  the  foremost  rank  of 
French  writers,  and  forbid  the  pre- 
tention to  superiority  by  any  other  7 
I  might  challenge  the  concurrent  eu- 
logies of  almost  every  French  critic, 
even  of  La  Harpe,  his  bitter  enemy, 
in  disproof  of  Lord  Brougham's  un- 
dervaluing opinion  ;  but  it  would  be  a 
supcrlluou^  appeal ;  and  1  need  only 
add  the  pre-eminence  attrihulcd  to 
Rousseau  by  tiuffon — "ce  que  nous 
r^cvmmendnnt,  Roasseau  command*." 
AndBufTun's  own  majestic  style  autho- 
rised him  to  pronounce  decisively  on 
the  subject,  which,  singularly  enough 
far  a  great  naturalist,  he  chose  fur  hia 
discourse  of  admission  into  the  French 
Academy,  and  to  which  he  assigned 
siieh  power  as  to  make  it  the  criterion 
of  the  human  character — "  Le  style, 
c'est  rhomme,"  was  bis  defmition.

English  Writers  in  Frmeht  and  Frcncfi  in  Englisfi,         [Nov. 


riee.  page  404 ;  and  h*  can  best  tell 
where,  m  Junius  (letter  25)  expressea 
it,  to  look  for  the  commentary. 

Refiumlng  my  observations  on  Gib* 
bOD^s  Ficnch  fityte,  1  have  to  Qdd> 
that  his  long  diausc  of  the  language, 
while  resident  in  Kngtond,  did  nut 
impair  his  mastery  of  the  idlouij  as 
hia  "  M^nioire  JuBtlficatif/'  or  mani- 
fealo  on  the  war  with  France,  and 
his  correspondence  with  his  friend 
Deyverdun,  dt-tnuaslrate ;  and  he  was 
welt  warranted  in  maintaining.  (Life, 
page  147i)  that,  after  a  long  and  la- 
borious exercise  of  his  own  language, 
he  was  conscious  that  his  French 
style  had  been  ripened  and  matured. 
It  was  thoB  that  the  Jesuit  Mariana 
wrote,  with  equal  purity,  in  Latin 
and  Spanish,  the  history  of  his  conn. 
try. 

Gibbon  passingly  adverts  to  the 
few  Englisbmea  who  had  attempted 
both  languages,  to  whom  Mr.  Milmon 
annexes  Ibc  names  of  Mr.  Beckford 
and  Mr.  Hope,  whose  VatheJc  and 
Anaslasivs  were  originally  written  in 
French  ;  but  1  am  always  rather  sua- 
picious.  1  cuufess,  of  the  potency  and 
appliance  of  wealth  in  the  acquire- 
ment of  literary  laurels.  When,  how- 
ever, the  Rev.  Editor  represents  the 
translation  of  Hudibraa  by  Mr. 
Townley  as  the  most  extraordinary 
effort  of  composition  in  a  foreign  lan- 
guage by  an  Englishmau,  I  am  bound 
to  say,  that  he  metes  its  value  more 
by  the  difficulty  than  the  merit  of  the 
peiformance.  It  never  answered  its 
purpose,  for  it  was  seldom  read,  and 
was  little  calculated  to  convey  a  com- 
petent impreasion  of  the  origiaal  to  our 
neighbours.  (See  Gentleman's  Maga- 
zine for  April  1838. J  Mr.  Townley, 
who  died  in  1733,  had  long  serx'ed 
in  the  French  Army.  {Burke's  Com- 
moners, vol.  ii,  p.  2G6.)  It  WAS  si- 
milarly that  the  proscribed  Huguenots, 
under  Louis  XIV.  adopted  the  lan- 
guage of  the  land  that  gave  ihein  re- 
fuge. "  La  patrie  est  aux  lieux  oil 
I'Ame  C9t  enchaint^e."  and  amongst 
them  wo  may  name  Bvyn-,  tlie  ifutJior 
of  liie  Hictiuiiary — the  l.lfc  of  King 
AVilliam  111.  <wliidi  contains  a  fair 
narrative  of  thr  massar-.re  of  GUncoe.) 
&c.  with  Ifn  Maurmtr.  nnc  of  the 
compile;i   of  the    '  'i^toricAl 

DicliouBLr)'.   and  t!>  .   l*Mal- 

fHhinnm;  LliougU  mu  iii^|;(jr.uot,  was 


a  Frenchman  by  birth,  who  aci|tti 
the  perfect  use  of  uur  language;  and, 
of  more  recent  times,    we   have    tli 
Count   de  Noi5.  Peer  of  France,  b 
educated,    as   the  companion    of    h 
father's  emigration,  in    Knt^land,  aa< 
author  of  the  History  of  the  Kxpedi- 
tioa  under  Sir  David  Bain),  to  join  our 
army  in  Eg>'pt,  in  ISUl.     He  speaks 
and  writes  the  Knglish,  as  I  can  fro 
personal  knowledge  assert,  with  eq 
purity.     1  might   add    the     Spanian 
Trueba.  and  several  more. 

But    great  as,  doubtless,  was 
command  in   composition  of   Gib 
over  a  foreign  tongue,  and  it  was  n< 
less  so  in  colloquial  use,  the  first  into, 
nation  of  his  voice  betrayed  his  alie 
accent,  as    ]   had    an  opportunity 
witnessing  in  an  arcideuial  meeting 
Schaflliausen  in   1793.  on  hia  retu 
to   England  under  the  terrors  of 
French    KevolutioD.     I   was,    iudi 
rather  surprised  at  the  circum.stanc 
as  he  had   been  removed  to  Lausanni 
at  so  early  an  age  ;  but  it  has  been  re- 
narked,   that  the  English   organs   of 
speech  are  by  no  means  so  pliant,  or 
jirompt  in  appropriating  the  Dative  pro- 
nounciation  of  other   people,    u   t' 
Irish.     The   late  George  the  Fourt 
however,  was  a  signal  eiceptiun  ;   fi 
he    was    perfectly    undistingui»hubl 
from  a  Frenchman,  as  I  have  hcai 
several  French  noblemen  observe  ;  one 
of  whom  related  to  mc  a  little  anec 
dote,  which  shewed  the  point  and  ele 
gance    of    the     Prince's      expr 
in   the  language.     Among  the 
whom,  on   a   i>articular   uccaaipi 
entertained  at  hia  table  when  Prix 
of  Wales,   was  the  emigrant  arclibi 
frhop    of  Narbonnc,   Pillon,  of  trU 
oiigin,  hut  little  acquainted  with  ou

Gibbon — his pertouttl  Appearancf,  Ac. 


475 


boD,  I  cimy  state  how  greatly  bis  fts- 
pect  disappointed  me  when  I  saw  him 
in  Switierland  ;  for  I  had  ju^t  n?ad 
his  drscription  qC  Mahomet  (chapter 
&0  of  hife  llittory),  where  tin.'  pmphet 
ia  represented  as  distiogai^hcd  by  the 
beauty  nf  his  person ;  "  an  outward 
gift."  saya  Qibbon,  "which  is  seldom 
despised  except  by  those  to  whom  it 
has  been  refused;"  whence  i,  natu- 
rally* enough,  inftried  that  the  advan* 
tagc  had  not  been  wholly  denied  to 
himaclf.  But  nature,  I  found,  had 
acarccly  been  more  prodigal  to  him  of 
mental,  than  niggard  of  personal  fa- 
vours, aa  the  tiihowtte,  or  portrait  n 
d/coiipwe,  prefixed  to  the  <)uarto  edi- 
tion of  his  Miscellaneous  Works,  will 
affirm.  Nor  is  he  otherwise  deli- 
neated in  the  Memoirs  of  M.  Suard. 
one  of  the  translators  of  his  history, 
where,  (page  I9I.  tome  2,}  it  is  said 
"  L'autcur  de  la  giande  et  supcrbe 
Ilistoirede  ['Empire  llomain  avait  ii

poavait  avoir  d 'autre  moyen  d'arriver 
AU  coDur  que  de  percer  lea  oreillcs." 
There  is,  no  doubt,  considerable  ex- 
aggeration, or  caricature,  in  thin  de- 
scription i  hut  it  certainly  could  not 
be  said  of  Ciibbun,  aa  of  Agricola,  the 
father-in-lnw  of  another  great  bisto- 
rianj  "  gratia  orift  supereral«"  (Tacit. 
Vita  Agricolw  cap.  4-1 ;)  nor  that  he 
bad  the  .Krruc6v  BXt'nov.  (Artstophan. 
Nub.  U7I-)  Witkea,  however,  to 
ivhom  nature  gave  no  favourable  letter 
of  introduction,  maintained  that  the 
Jiandsamcst  men  in  England  had  only 
the  advantage  of  the  liist  half  hour 
over  hina ;  and  wc  know  that  Mira- 
bcau  made  his  uiclincss  necessary  to 
hia  inlluence.  "  I'lrsonne  ne  connait 
la  pQiMance  de  ma  laideur."  was  hia 
czpreasioD,as  cited  by  Lord  Brougham. 
(Statesmen,  2od  Series,  page  251.) 
Tbe  appearance  of  such  men  was 
overlooked  in  the  effulgence  of  their 
gtoiusj  nor  should  wc  omit  tbe  re-

buke  of  LodIs  XIV.  vhca  hia  coar-

though  of  unwieldy  and  moat  unpre-

Some  years  ago  I  had  occasion  ta 
mark  an  anachronism  in  conoexioa 
with  the  names  of  Louis  and  Gib. 
bon,  which  I  discovered  in  the  "Die- 
liunnaire  des  Ouvragea  AnonTmea* 
&c.'*  by  M.  Barbier,  (Paris  1822- 
1827.  4  vols.  8vo.>  though  certainly 
a  very  learned  and  elaborate  com- 
pilation. It  is  there  stated,  that 
Louis  XVL  when  Dauphin,  had  trans- 
lated the  first  volume  of  Gibbon ;  an 
assertion  at  once  refuted  by  the  fact, 
that  the  book  was  not  published  until 
February  (J7th)  1*76.  nearly  two 
years  after  Louis  had  ceased  to  be 
Dauphin,  by  having  succeeded  hia 
grandfather,  as  we  have  seen,  the 
Huh  May  1774.  The  version,  there- 
fore, had  it  existed,  must  have  been 
made  from  the  manuscript  previous  to 
its  tteing  committed  to  the  press;  % 
circumstance  so  remote  from  probabi*^ 
lity.  as,  like  Gibbon's  explanation  nf 
the  (uragraph  complained  of  by  Louis, 
to  be  fairly  classed  in  the  category  of 
im(K>ssibilities.  lodeed.his  own  wurda 
are  ilecisive  ;  for  he  assures  us,  t^page 
289,)  that  not  a  sheet  had  been  seen  by 
any  human  eyes,  excepting  those  of  the 
author  and  printer,  before  publication.. 

The  revolutionary  horrors,  which 
hurried  Gibbon  from  his  cherished  re- 
sidence, (though,  at  that  period,  by  no 
means  arrived  at  their  consummation,) 
opened  Inn  eyes  to  the  danger,  becauatfl 
he  thus  experienced  the  cunaequcocesi 
of  undermining  the  Christian  faith. 
characterised,  indeed,  in  bis  vocabu- 
lary, as  a  Bupcrstitiou,  hut  still  the 
acknowledged  fountain  of  public  mora- 
lity, and  pillar  of  social  order.  He  then 
obviously  rei:retted  hii&  own  share  in 
preparing  the  work  of  destruction, 
and,  whdc  little  dis[»osed  to  rctiact, 
would  gladly  have  recalled  many  por-

Voltaire  and  M*  Lc  Franc, 


[Nov. 


At  page  300  ot  hU  Memoirs,  he 
■ays,  "  I  have  eometimca  thuught  of 
writing  a  dialogue  of  the  dead,  in 
which  Lacian,  Krosmus,  and  Voltaire 
should  mutual  ty  acknowledge  the 
danger  of  cxposinn;  an  old  supcrstt* 
lioD  to  the  contempt  of  the  blind  and 
fanatic  multitude."  The  idea  was  a 
good  one ;  and  would  be  liest  ex- 
ecuted by  a  recantation  of  the  sea- 
tiroeots  which  the  iniertucutors  had 
propagated  ;  but  their  number  is  far 
too  limited;  and  Gibbon  would  find 
his  place  there  more  fittingly  than 
Erasmus.  The  gieat  Frederic,  too, 
in  his  latter  year?  recnitpd  in  the  pur- 
suit of  inSdelily  ;  and,  probably.  &o 
would  aeveral  nlliers  be  driven,  like 
Daclua,  to  exclaim  to  their  compeers

The  author  of  these  lines,  which

Voltaire,  as  several  tetters  prove,  (I4th 
April,  17'1S,  &c.)  unlil,  in  his  discourse 
of  admiBstoo  to  the  French  Academy. 
(lOth  March,  1700.)  he  dared  to  ar- 
raign the  literature  of  the  day  as  irre- 
ligious. The /mfriarcA'jt  wrath  was,  in 
consequence,  vented  with  all  the 
poiu;nancy  of  his  wit  and  rancour  of  his 
hate,  on  his  former  friend,  which  in- 
censed M.  de  Pompignsn's  brother,  a

Louij  ibe  Siiteenth  is  represented, 
we  bare  seen,  by  Gibbon,  as  partial  to 
English  rvading;  which  1  may  corro- 
borate ;  for  1  possess  a  volume,  used 
by  him  in  prison  for  the  instruction  of 
his  son  in  ibat  language,  with  some 
corrections  in  his  hand.  It  is  a  trans, 
latioo  of  the  history  of  Henry  tV.  by 
PlSr^fixe,  executed,  very  imperfectly 
indeed,  by  M.  Le  Muinc.  and  dedi- 
cated  to  Louts,  who  had  it  beautifully 
printed  at  the  press  of  Didot  I'ain^,  in 
1785.  My  copy,  purchased  at  public 
•ale  af\er  the  monarch's  death,  had 
originally  been  a  presentation  to  his 
angelic  sister,  Madame  Klizabetb, 
whose  arms  it  bears  ;  and,  though  the 
corrections  are  unimportant,  they  tes- 
tify his  study  of  the  laui^uagc.  It  was 
natural,  al&o,  that  he  should  make  the 
life  of  bis  glorious  progenitor  the  text- 
book of  his  lessons,  while  proposing 
him  to  bis  son  as  the  model  and  ex- 
emplar of  his  imitation,  should  he 
ever  ascend  the  throne  of  his  ancestors 


— a  fate  which  the  unhappy  child  was 
never  destined  to  accomplish.  Nor, 
we  may  admit,  could  a  brighter  pre- 
cedent of  conduct,  in  popular  and 
vulgar  apprehension,  be  presented  to 
a  royal  pupil,  if  we  could  remove 
from  our  view,  not  only  those  indul- 
gences for  which  the  seductions  of  the 
throne  have  procured  a  palliative  cod- 
sideratiun,  rendered  more  dangeroos 
by  the  prominence  of  commission  and 
influence  of  high  example,*  but  many 
acts,  personal  and  administrative, 
little  honourable  to  his  mind  or  feel- 
ings, which  history  produces  against 
him.  Burke  did  not  suffer  bis  jndg. 
meot  of  the  monarch  to  be  dazzled  by 
the  blaze  of  popularity,  which  has  so 
long  encircltd  his  name  in  France; 
and  Sismondi  (Histuirc  des  Francois, 
tome  xxii.)  concludes  an  estimate  of 
bis  character  with  these  emphatic 
words—"  U  abandonna  toua  ses  amis 
— son  administration  et  Aa  politique 
manquaient  de  bonne  foi«  sa  vie  privJe 


*  The  laxity  of  psgan  morality  may  b«  ioferred  from  th«  tone  and  tenor  of  rren  the 
gnvoat  or  aocimt  sutbura  on  this  subject.  Tacitus  (Annal.  liii.  IS.)  describes  the  stofc 
Seneca,  and  sQiitere  Ourrhui,  the  gosrditns  of  the  youth  and  ministers  of  the  govem-

The  Death  qf  Henri  IV. 


[Nor. 


fut  BcandaleaBe,"  &c. ;  thoogh  it  may 
perhaps  be  not  quite  fair  to  judge  the 
political  mornlity  of  that  age  by  the 
stricter  ruic  of  the  present. 

The  generally  vicJutu  system  of 
princely  tuition  has  provtiked  the 
iiUarp  ai)d  apposite  animadversion  of 
Lord  Urougham ;  though  hia  illna- 
tratioos  of  the  raomentouR  subject  ore 
not  always  iocontrovertiblc.  At  page 
4,  ofthe  second  scrips  nf  his  Statesmen, 
he  indignantly  produces  the  answer  of 
the  Right  Reverend  preceptor  of  I^uia 
the  Fifteenth,  when  Dauphin,  [FItiiry, 
bishop  DrFr(ju6,)  on  being  asked  by 
his  royal  pupil — "  Quoi  duuc.  lea  rois 
mcurcDt-iU? "  "Quclquefois,  Mon- 
scigDCur,"  was  the  cautious  reply,  says 
bis  lordship;  hut  I  would  deferentially 
submit.  thBt>  as  Louis  could  not  have 
been  above  live  years  old  at  the  time, 
for  he  succeeded  to  the  crown,  and,  of 
course,  was  no  longer  Oauphiu,  at 
that  infant  age,  there  was  nothing  ex- 
traordinary in  the  courtier*like  re* 
sponse.  It  is,  in  fact,  pretty  much  the 
evasive  one  that  would  have  been  made 
to  a  child  so  young  in  any  class  of  so- 
ciety. But,  as  applicable  to  a  King  of 
France,  it  is  further  excusable;  for  the 
monarchs.  death,  like  t]ie  ftclion  of  our 
law  which  declarer  the  Sovereign  incu- 
pable  of  doing  wrong,  was  never  recog- 
nized, as  the  following  historical  anec- 
dote will  elucidate — "  Le  14  Mai  lOlo,

for  it  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the

believe  that  the  number  acquitted  ex- 
ceeded that  of  the  coudemned. — cer- 
tainly not  during  the  last  months^  for 
I  could  easily  prove  the  reverse. 

Tiie  trial  of  X^ouis  did  not,  indeei], 
take  place  before  the  Revolutionary 
Tribunal ;  but  the  fate  of  his  defenders, 
at  least  of  the  senior,  M.  De  Males- 
herbes,  le  vtrtueux  Malesherbes.  as  he 
was  emphatically  designated,  was  an 
impressive  lesson  nnd  ample  warning, 
which  could  not  fail  of  effect ;  for  one 
of  the  heads  of  accusation  brought 
against  him  at  the  close  of  a  long  in- 
carceration was  the  defence  of  the 
7\fraut,  though  expressly  authorized 
by  the  Convention  to  undertake  that 
dangerous  duty.  But  the  existence  of 
puch  a  man  was  equally  hateful  nnd 
fearfultotheCommitlec  of  Public  Safety 
as  thatof  F(£tusThra«e&  was  to  Nero —

fUMT^v,  cap.  33,  Oper.  Moral.)  and,  in 
those  of  Tacitus,  the  Committee,  like 
Nero,  "  virtutem  ipsamexscindrrecu- 
pivit."  (Annal.xvi.  21.)  Accordingly, 
the  following  year,  this  excellent  citi. 
zen,  at  the  age  of  seventy-two,  after 
an  outrage  on  justice,  misnamed  atrial, 
was  condemned  by  the  Revolutionary 
Tribunal,  and  executed,  together  with 
hissister,  daughter, son-in-law,  grand- 
daughter, and  her  husband  !  a  holo- 
caust, not  without  example  in  those 
terrific  days.  TTie  other  royal  advo- 
cate, M.  De  S^ze,  with  whose  family 
J  hod  the  advantage  of  being  acquaint- 
ed, avoided  the  destiny  of  his  col- 
league by  a  total  sectusiou  in  the 
country,  but,  In  after  years,  was  raised 
to  deserved  profef  &ioual  honours. 

Whence  Lord  Brougham  derived  the 
fitatements  that  I  have  assumed  the 
right,  on  better  information,  to  con- 
trovert, I  cannot  discover  ;  I  could  cite 
innumerable  authorities  in  contradic- 
tion to  his  Lordship;  and  my  own

cartaioly  wasTidleyrand — an  unworthy 
bishop  indeed,  but  never  raised  to  the 
purple.  To  him,  however,  I  am  aware 
that  every  good  thing  that  was  uttered 
was  indiscriminately  attributed,  (see 
Gentleman's  Magazine  for  February 
1838,)  as  Cicero  says  happened  to  htm- 
salf— "  Ais  enim."  he  writes  to  Vo- 
lumnius,  in  an  interesting  and  charac. 
tcristic  letter,  "  omnia  omnium  dicta

vii,  £p.  33)  ;*  bat  tkit  expression  is, 
beyond  doubt,  the  genuine  offspring  of 
Talleyrand.  I  marvel,  to  employ  a  very 
favourite  verb  of  his  Lordship,  in  de- 
fiance of  Horace's  "  Nihil  admirari," 
or  of  the  dAro/iaa-ca  of  Democritus — I 
marvel  much  at  these  inadvertencies.

nalty lUtached  to  the  marriage  of  the

with  a  Catholic,  he  should  have  added 
that  the  prohibition  includes  not  only 
a  professed,  but  a  recantant  Catholic, 
one  who  bad  ever  been  of  that  per- 
suasion, however  long  it  may  have 
been  renounced ;  a  bad  encouragement, 
it  most  be  admitted,  for  conversion 
from  presumed  error. 

His  Lordship's  frequency  of  classical 
quotatioDS.  has,  I  perceive,  attracted 
ctnsttre;  but  even  h*  can  say  little 
new,  and  when  a  thought  is  borrowed, 
the  obligation,  in  justice  and  gratitude, 
should  surely  be  acknowledged.  The 
example  of  such  men  as  Bacon  and 
Montaigne,  so  truly  original  and  rich 


in  their  native  stores,  still  copiously 
drinking  at  the  great  fountains  of 
antiquity,  is  hia  Lordship's  all-suffi- 
cient warrant.  We  borrow,  and  the 
reader  applauds,  an  illustrative  quota- 
tion from  Sbakspere,  Milton,  or  Spen- 
ser;  but  we  fear  the  imputation  of 
pedantry  if  we  follow  their  example 
and  borrow  from  their  predecessors. 

1  cannot  conclude  without  directing 
the  attention  of  Gibbon's  learned 
Editor  to  the  accumulation  of  faults  in 
the  biographical  volume  which  fur- 
nished the  grounds  of  this  article. 
That  they  are  not  far  remote  from  one 
hundred,  I  think  not  improbable— 
that  they  exceed  fifty,  I  am  quite  sure, 
and  several,  too,  not  imputable  to  the 
compositor,  such  as  the  date  of  Hume's 
letter,  page  241,  and  the  misnomer  of 
Retif  de  la  Bretorme,  at  page  291,  for 
BrttoKM,  copied,  I  find,  from  preced- 
ing editions.  The  historical  volumes 
are  less  defective,  though  by  no  means 
of  correctness  commensurate  with  their 
importance. 

1  trust  that,  in  reference  to  auch 
men  as  Gibbon  and  Lord  Brougham, 
1  need  not  attempt  an  excuse  for  this 
length  of  discussion.  The  love  of 
truth,  from  which  I  deprecate  the 
slightest  deviation,  (and  the  more  ex- 
alted the  individuals,  the  more  neces- 
sary is  reproof.)  has  dictated  frequent 
appeals,  Mr.  Urban,  to  your  columns, 
where,  from  a  consonance  of  feeling, 
and  from  "  that  sound  judgment 
which  never  disdains  the  most  trifling 
details,  and  holds  nothing  trivial  con- 
nected with  an  important  subject,"t 
they  have  ever  found  that  indulgent 
reception,  which  1  may  hope  will  not 
be  withheld  from  me  on  the  present  oc- 
casion. Yet,  I  must  not  trespass  too 
far,  lest  I  should  justify  the  rough 
interrogatory,  perhaps  already  not  un-

TVVO  or  thrM  parting  notes  ore 
only  necessary  in  reply  to  Ms.  CoB- 
Nirv's  commonication  on  the  subject 
of  the  nayeux  Tapestry,  Inserted  in 
yrjur  last  Number. 

The  matter  can  hardly  now  be  said 
to  constilule  a  controversy,  for  Mr. 
CoRNEv  himself  ndroits  that,  "the 
forms  of  the  letters,  the  ardiileclnrr, 
armour,  weapons,  dress  represented, 
and  style  of  eiecution."*  are  the 
points  to  be  considered  in  approjiri- 
ating  the  period  of  the  Tapestry. — In 
short,  that  the  internal  wiW^urf  must 
be  Uic  guide  to  a  correct  conclusion. 
No  rocnpitululion  of  circumslancea  id 
necessary,  1  trust,  on  my  part,  to  shew 
that  the  internal  tvidence  lias  alieady 
decided  the  mutter,  nml  fixfd  the  exe- 
cution ijf  the  Tapestry  within  a  short 
period  after  the  Norman  Conquest. 

My  purpnie  is  not  therefore  to 
weary  myself  or  your  reader^  by  re- 
tracing the  arKuroenti*,  but  to  refute  a 
palpable  sophism  vrliicli  is  now  ad- 
duced .-igaiiibt  me.  I  cliallenged  Mii. 
Uoi.TON  CoRNBV  to  prodoce  a  single 
instance  in  which  the  costume 
and  style  of  ornament  in  a  work 
of  art  of  ttie  middle  age  did  not  indi- 
cate llif  period  of  its  execution.  He 
now  produces  an  inslancc,  as  he  says, 
in  close  connexion  with  the  subject  of 
the  Tapestry,  by  which  he  considers 
my  assertion  is  overthrown.  What, 
Mr.  Urban,  i«  (his  nntable  example  ? 
why,  that  the  effigy  commomoraiing 
Robert  HuVe  of  Norninnily  in  Gloa> 
tester  cullitdral.  is  nnt  itt  llu*  costume 
of  the  period  in  which  he  died,  but  in 
that  of  a  somewhat  Intii  dale.  "fll» 
hmly,  by  ciimmand  of  King  Henry  1., 
was  rctercntly  inlernd  m  ihc  rnlhe- 
droi  of  Ciloucot'' T.  Ii'Tr'  Mr  IiilIi 
nltar :  n  che»l  . 
his   rfBgy  wot      r  , 


forhim;  probably  early  in  therollowtog 
century."  t  Now,  surely,  I  am  to 
thank  my  adversary  for  a  most  strik 
ing  example  in  favour  of  the  rule  to 
which  I  have  referred  ;  for  the  sculp* 
tors  of  the  effigy  of  Duke  Robert 
made  no  elTort  to  represent  him  in  the 
military  dress  of  hit  period,  but  vert 
contented  to  clothe  him  io  the  armoop] 
which  tliey  saw  employed  in  their  ovu,; 
The  armorial  bearings  which  Mr, 
Corney  mentions  are  still  later  addi* 
tions  to  the  tomb. 

There  is,  Mr.  Urban,  in  the  Britisl 
Museum,  a  statue  of  Shak«peare.  bf 
Roubilioc,  1  believe,  fornurly  in  the 
possession  ofGarrick,  This  figure  ti 
clothed  by  the  sculptor  in  a  fanciful 
dress,  in  which  some  of  the  peculiari- 
ties  of  his  own  period  may  be  detected, 
and  it  is  altogether  very  unlike  thai 
which  Shaktpeare  roust  aclunlly  have 
worn.  Now.  if  I  were  to  biing  lint 
figure  forward  as  an  instance  that  the 
artists  nf  the  Rli^jibrthan  nge  varied 
from  the  costume  of  their  period  in 
producing  cSigics  of  eminent  men  wfao 
flourished  in  the  sixteenth  century,  t 
should  deservedly  be  condemned  for  « 
position  so  false,  absurd,  and  tltogi- 
cat.  Yet  this  is  the  exact  parallel  of 
the  sophism  advaoced  to  refute  me. 
think,  therefore,  Mr.  Urban.  Dule 
Robert  should  be  dismissed  from  thi 
service  of  my  opponent,  in  mercy 
himself. 

I    readily  admit  that   Poiton  might 
have    been    more    correctly    written

William  of  Paitien  and  th&  Battle  ef  Hattin^s.

of  Poitou, — I  be^  pardoOj  of  Poitiers, 
Let  ui  (eud«r  that  writer's  paragrnph 
into  plaiu  Koglkh.     "  Cue  of  the  an>

The  words  in  italics  are  those  of  Wil- 
liam of  Poitiers  speaking  in  his  uwn 
person  ;  and  I  cannot  think  that  Mr. 
Corney  is  justified  in  saying  that  "  he 
is  exercising  his  pleasantry  at  an  iina- 
ipnary  ancient :"  the  obvious  conclu- 
sion 15,  that  he  adopts  the  stat«nirot, 
at  the  least,  so  far  as  to  reprr&ent  the 
army  of  1  \ urold  a*  exctrdiagtt/  Homtroiti. 
Now,  WMtiam  of  Puttiers  was  a  writer 
of  good  authority;  but  as  a  Norman, 
and  Chaplain  of  tUt.'  Conqueror,  when 
speaking  of  the  deeds  of  his  country- 
mcuj  he  may  naturaily   be   supposed 
to  place  them  in  the  most  heroic  light; 
and  this  is  Just  the  exception  which  is 
taken  to  the  substance  of  his  state- 
meat  by  William  of  Malmsbury,  who 
s&ys  that,  afler  the  defeat  of  the  Nor- 
wegians at  Stanford  Bridge,  Haruld, 
"  elated  by  his  successful  enterprise, 
vouchsafed  nu  part  of  the  spoil  to  his 
soldiers.     Whctvfore  many,  as  they 
found  opportunity,  tttcaliog  away,  de- 
serted the  King  as  be  was  proceeding 
to  the  battle  nf  Hastings.     For.  with 
the  exception  of  his  stipendiary  and 
mercenary  soldiers,  he  had  tvryfttp  of 
the  people  with  him,  on  which  account, 
circumvented  by  a  stratagem  of  Wil- 
liam's,  he  was  routed Those 

persons  appear  to  err,  who  augment 
the  numbers  of  the  Knglish^aod  under- 
rate their  courage. "+ 

And  in  a  note  ou  this  paasage,  the  ju-

probable,  from  the  shortness  of  time 
which  elapsed  from  William's  landing 
to  the  battle  of  Hastings,  only  fifteen 
days.  In  this  period,  therefore,  tbe 
intelligence  was  to  be  conveyed  to 
York,  and  Harold's  march  into  Sussex 
to  be  completed  ;  of  course,  few  could 
accompany  him  but  «.uch  as  were 
mounted.  William  Pictaviensia  [sicj 
to  whom  he  (.Malmdbury)  seems  hero 
to  allude,  asserts,  tliat  Harold  had 
collected  immense  forces  from  all 
parts  of  England,  and  that  Denmark 
had  supplied  him  with  auxiliaries  also  ; 
but  the  circumstances  mentioned  shew 
the  absurdity  of  bis  statement. "• 

I  am  not  eorry  to  be  able  to  support 
ray  opinion  of  the  aecounis  renderctt 
by  the  Scriptorcs  Normaiini  of  the 
battle  of  HostiDgs,  botli  in  my  tett 
and  murffia,  by  rcfcience  to  the  vene- 
rable Malnisbury  and  his  editor. 
Such  auxiliaries,  when  they  have  a 
renl  connexion  with  the  subject  in 
discussion,  no  one  can  reasonably 
condemn.  I  will  not  extend  this  let- 
ter by  giving  the  description  at  length 
by  William  of  Poitiers  of  the  battle  of 
Hastings  ;  but  let  any  one  of  your 
readers  place  that  narrative  by  the 
side  of  the  details  given  in  the  legend  of 
the  Bayeux  Tapestry, — "  the  Worsted 
Chronicle,"  as  it  Visn  happily  styled  by 
the  lute  Mr.  Edgar  Taylor. — and  he 
must  allow  that,  although  the  account 
of  the  Norman  chaplain  is  uervous 
and  Bpirited,  the  Tapestry  far  exceeds 
it  in  the  minuteness  and  veiiaimili- 
lude  of  its  details.  Inhere  is  a  dtsero- 
pancy  between  Pictavicnsis  and  tlic 
Tapestry  which  may  be  worth  notice.

antiquity  of  the  Bayeux  Tapestry, 
but  how  far,  in  the  opinion  of  your

in  reviewing  Mr.  Corncy's  Pamphlet 
have  been  dictated  by  reason,  justice,

ingenuity ;  not  allowing,  however, 
that  quality  to  pervert  and  mystify

Why  foster  ye  this  badge  uf  diiirontent  ?

Methinks  ye  should  converse  with  [ilanta  of  grave, 

And,  like  a  lady  tricking  up  her  face, 
With  pearles  and  rubies  be,  not  pebbles  dreit. 
Fie-fie !  diamisB  this  livery  forlorn, 

Confine  it  to  aome  craggy  mountain. top, 
Or  barren  desert,  where  it  may  be  worn 

With  more  propriety  ; — or,  itincc  my  hope 
In  seas  of  sad  despair  is  toaa'd  and  turn, 

And  daily  drencbt  with  many  a  rigid  billow,

Did  Heaven  but  gently  to  my  wish  reply, 
Lo  1  thua  would  we  converse,  my  lovely  dear  I 
I  say,  thus  would  we  live  while  being  here. 

And  when  to  part  from  hence  thus  would  we  dy. 

Upon  some  shady,  sandy,  higher  ground, 
Where  the  sweet  birds  should  warbling  muilc  give. 

And  at  whose  foot  some  pittering  riUet  wound. 
Like  Baucis  and  Philemon  would  we  live ) 

Our  clothing  should  be  warm,  and  new,  ud  neut, 
Not  costly  nor  too  curious  ;  and  our  diet, 
Tho'  plentiful  and  Kood,  yet  free  from  riot, 

Not  adding  thirst  to  drink,  nor  lust  to  meat. 

No  viperous  envie,  nor  ambitions  dreams  ; 
No  care  to  pay  some  griping  landlord  rent ; 

No  clamourous  wealth  of  many  ploughs  and  teames 
Should  interrupt  the  csLn  of  our  content.

cal preciaioo  in  estimating  what  was 
opta  to  a  variety  of  judgment.  The 
gronodwork  of  his  book  waa  worthy 
of  liis  labour ;  it  was  the  dL>4eription 
of  one  of  the  most  interesting  Palaces 
that  lirlong  to  the  Crown  ;  a  palace 
founded  by  the  munificence  of  Wolsey, 
and  subfleqaently  consecrated  by  the 
genius  cf  Raphael. — Mr.  Jesse  has 
deacribed  its  varioos  leras  of  architec- 
ture, its  noble  halts  and  galleries,  ita 
auccessive  alterations  and  iraprovc- 
meats.  its  splendid  gardens  and  parks, 
and  all  other  objects  of  curiosity  that 
are  to  be  found  in  its  neighbourhood.* 
But  the  niufit  interesting  portion  of  his 
work,  to  our  mind,  is  his  catalogue 
of  the  plrtuiet,  which  is  drawn  up 
with  6dclity  and  knowledge.  Mr. 
Jesse  rvidtntlv  unites  the  science  of

WE  have  already  spoken  of  this 
work  in  our  notice  of  the  author's 
Alanual  of  Modern  History;  and  it 
might  be  sufficient,  in  a  general  way. 
to  say.  thai  both  volumes  exhibit  the 
some  excellencies  and  the  same  faultn. 
But  in  an  attentive  perusal,  having 
observed  several  passages  which  call 
for  particular  remarks,  we  shall  lay 
them  before  the  reader;  and  this  we 
do  the  more  readily  from  being  con- 
vinced that  nothing  is  more  vague  or 
unsatisfactory  than  geoeralities  in 
criticism. 

The  first  oboervatioo  we  shall  offer 
is  from  the  last  page  of  the  work, 
where  we  rend  "end  of  port  first-" 
This,  we  would  suggest,  might  better 
have  been  omitted.  It  gives  an  ap-

merit  tUat  "  the  seconil  and  conclud- 
ing  part  of  Ihe  work  is  in  Ihe  press," 
coDtBining  the  history  of  tbe  modern 
nations.  Such  nfinis  fort'es  the  pur- 
chase of  the  second  part  upon  ihe 
reader,  in  onlcr  to  escape  the  appear- 
ance of  hating  an  odd  volume,  though, 
perhaps,  the  ancient  portion  was  all 
he  wanted.  With  ibe  same  want  of 
dificrimination  the  Modern  Manual  (if 
we  remember  right)  commences  with 
a  reference  to  the  formtr  volume,  and 
thus  proclaims  its  own  incomplete- 
ness. In  the  same  way,  at  p.  277,  i» 
a  reference  to  "the  second  volume," 
while  the  title-page  indicates  a  work 
complete  in  itself. 

We  must  refer  to  the  review  of  tbe 
Modem  Manual  for  some  incidental 
remarks  on  the  ancient  portion,  which 
it  will  be  unnecessary  to  repeat. 

At  p.  C4  the  divisions  of  Syria  are 
enumerated,  and  among  them  "  the 
country  of  the  Philistines ;"  but, 
although  so  important  in  sacred  his- 
tory, and  evcD  m  profane,  (mincu  Gaza 
resisted  the  anna  of  Alexander  tlie 
Great,)  no  historical  nutiro  is  given  of 
that  country  Uiere.  At  p.  05  we  have 
Bcnoot  for  Beroot.  At  the  same  page 
we  are  told  that  Nebuchadnezzar  be- 
sieged Tyre,  and  thm  that  "  Hiram, 
the  contemporary  of  David  and  Soto- 
mon,"  made  the  island-city  hi«  metro- 
polis, in  such  a  way,  that  an  inex- 
perienced reader  would  suppose  him 
to  be  the  later  personage  of  the  two. 
At  pp.  97>  93.  wc  have  the  Persian 
name  Kai  Kaooa  applied  to  twudifFerCnt 
individuals  named  C'yaxares. 

The  following  remark  on  the  death

At  p.  231  Dr.  T.  thus  disposes  of  a 
difficulty ;  "  Philip  was  stabbed  to 
the  heart  by  Paosanias,  a  Macedonian 
nobleman,  whose  motives  for  com- 
mitting such  an  atrocious  crime  cannot 
be  satisfactorily  ascertained-"  He 
does  not  admit  the  story  of  Alexander's 
cruelty  toward  the  governor  of  Gaza, 
bat  merely  savs  that  this  city  was 
sererely  punisned.  (p.  234.)  In  the 
same  page  he  makes  a  just  remark  of 
great  use  in  comparative  history ; 
**  there  is  no  instance,  either  in  ancient 
or  modem  times,  of  an  Asiatic  army 
having  rallied  when  once  thrown  into 
confusion."  The  fate  of  Darius,  we 
may  here  observe,  reminds  us  of  the 
vicissitudes  of  the  Mogul  emperors  in 
the  last  century.  He  repeats  the  old 
story,  so  well  refuted  by  Mitford,  of 
Alexander's  fever  being  occasioned  by 
excessive  drinking  (p.  236),  but  quali- 
fies the  statement  by  making  the  vice 
a  general  indulgence  of  the  Macedo- 
nians after  the  fatigues  of  war.  It  is 
vague  to  say  (p.  241)  that  Polyperchon 
"permitted  Cassaoder  to  strengthen 
himself  in  soafAem  Greece,  where  he 
seized  the  strong  fortress  of  Mnny- 
chia."  That  fortress  is  a  part  of 
Athens,  and  to  specify  it  as  such  would 
give  the  reader  a  clearer  idea  than  say- 
ing nm/Aem,  which  should  rather  have 
been  central  Greece.*     By  a  strange

We  must  close  our  notice  of  this 
work,  for  the  present,  with  the  eleventh 
chapter,  reserving  the  rest  for  a  future 
occasion.  If  our  remarks  appear  mi-

out  its  blemishes,  the  next  edition  wiU

however,  we  dwelt  on  the  mistakes

who  have  obnerved  tts  almuiil  mtgical

from  the  very  poor  elements  of  an  un- 
interesting country.  Bcsi<les,  in  ilip 
present  day.  its  Rcn'iccs  become  more 
needful  and  important ;— aa  by  the  in- 
creasing works  uf  art,  and  the  exten- 
sion of  agricultuial  improvements,  the 
general  face  of  the  country  raost  be- 
come more  artificial,  more  denuded  uf 
wood  ;  and,  bein(;  more  thickly  inlm- 
hited,  more  expot^d  to  the  intrusion  of 
objects  little  calculated  ti>  impmvR  ihc 
harmony  of  a  prospect.  U  must  also 
be  considered  that  ilic  general  >iccnery 
of  England  is  flat,  and  tnnic  ;  and  xvc 
may  well  conceive  an  fc^ngli^h  gentle- 
man, the  walls  of  wliose  mansion  are 
covered  with  the  splendid  productions 
of  Claude  and  Pou&sin.  and  alt  the 
glories  of  the  Italian  shores,  anxious 
to  make  his  own  less  aspiring  domain 
partake  of  some  of  (he  beauties 
which  be  has  admired  in  a  foreign 
and  more  favoured  land.  Those  who 
have  remarked  ihc  character  of  the 
country  in  which  such  man&ions  aa 
Burleigh,  and  Holkham.  and  Clum- 
ber, and  others  arc  situated,  and 
who  have  beheld  the  beautiful  sceuery* 
of  the  parks  and  domains  attached  to 
them,  which  have  been  formed  by 
taste  from  the  commonest  mnterials, 
will  be  not  unwilling  to  uwn,  t)iat  he 
who  could  effect  so  fine  an  improve- 
ment, in  a  manner  apparently  «o  easy, 
must  possess  resources  in  bis  art  that 
deserve  to  be  eeteemcd.  Wo  have 
also  much  in  Kngland  that  iii  fnvour- 
abte  to  the  exercise  of  this  art,  though 
we  went  the  boldness  and  grandeur 
of  foreign  scenes.  We  have  a  vcrdur* 
of  our  own,  unpnrftllcled  cUewhrrc — 
sylvan  beauty  that  may  almost  defy 
competition — a  sky  of  sweetly  varie- 
gated light  and  shadow — lakes  of  fine 
character  and  harmonious  cumposilion 
— bills  and  mountains  in  due  propor- 
tion with  other  objrcts — and  a  tem- 
perate climate,  admitting  the  enjoy- 
ment of  these  national  gifts  ai  all 
aeasons  of  tlie  year  ;  neither  starved 
AS  Gennany  is  with  the  terrific  frusta 
of  vrintw,  nor  diaaolvrd  like  the  Ita- 
lians in  Ihc  lisllc^aness  of  their  sum- 
mer  luxury.      Wc  carncklly  recom- 


mend this  work  to  oar  readers,  en* 
riched  as  it  is  vrith  eiccllcnt  notes  by 
Mr.  Loudon,  (himself  an  eminent  suc- 
cessor uf  Reptoo,)  and  published  in  a 
most  commodious  form. 

At  p.  77,  we  find  an  extract  from 
llurke  by  Mr.  Rcpton  to  tlic  following 
efTuct : — "A  true  arlinL  should  put  a 
generous  deceit  on  the  spectators,  and 
effect  the  noblest  dcaignt  by  easy 
methods.  Designs  that  arc  vast  only 
by  their  dimensions,  are  always  the 
sign  of  a  common  and  low  imagina- 
tion. No  work  of  art  can  he  great 
but  as  it  deceives;  to  be  otherwise  is 
the  prerogative  of  nature." — Mr.  Loo- 
don  considers  this  tn  be  a/o'j«*priacip(r, 
and  gives  his  reasons,  asking  if  the 
Doric  columns  at  the  entrance  of  the 
Uirmiughara  Railway  and  St.  Paul's 
Cathedral,  are  not  objects  of  great 
ma^itude,  as  compared  with  other 
columns  and  other  churches  ?  but  i 
appears  to  us  that  ihe  vm*  force  of 
Burke's  argument  consists  in  the  coo. 
irast  he  makes  between  Art  and  Na» 
lure  ;  as  for  example  : — The  Tham 
is  a  large  and  noble  river  :  a  land 
scape  gardener  who  is  required  I 
form  ft  piece  of  waterorartiti 
in  B  park,  would  shew  great  j 
iraaginatiriii,  and  want  of  reno 
his  chief  endeavour  was  to  prodm

true  art  consists  in  pioducingau  equal 
efl'ect — nn  effect  of  ■  large  sur 
of  water,  with  less  waste  of  mraas. 
Wberv  would  he  the  genius  div-

the  very  copy  of  the  Thames  iu  c* 
tent?  it  would,  as  Ouiko  saya

THIS  beautiful  work  proceeds 
ith  unabated  spirit  and  elegance: 
e  plates  arc  elegantly  designed,  the 
flowers  gracefully  grouped,  and  the 
colours  delicately  and  faithfully  copied 
front  Nature.  Nlrs.  l^outlun  has  made 
her  work  doubly  inleri'sting,  by  giving 
OS  the  history  of  the  flowers  she  dc- 
■cribes,  the  origin  of  their  names,  and 
the  peculiar  rioalities  attending  them. 
In  the  present  numbers  the  pansieir,

Be&lty  beautiful  and  curious  : — rn  fact,

they  cannot  possess  a  real  one  :  and 
if  Mrs,  l^udon  could  fix  by  chemical 
mrans,  the  peculiar  fragrance  of  each 
plant  on  its  painted  bIob«am,  (which 
no  doubt  she  will  do  at  our  sug-

"  WHEN  Euglishmeo,"  says  the 
author,  "  learn  to  view  lielaod  as  she 
is,  the  BrU  great  step  will  be  achieved 
towards  making  Ireland  what  she 
ought  to  be."  For  this  purpose,  we 
have,  in  this  volume,  the  results  of  the 
author's  observation  during  a  ehort 
tour  in  that  country ;  and  we  have 
pleasure  in  noticing  the  elegance  ofthc 
descriptions,  and  the  liveliness  of  the 
narrative  ;  the  soundness  of  the  prin- 
ciples that  are  supported,  and  the 
wisdom  of  the  reflections  that  are  ad- 
vanced. We  shall  give  some  extracts 
from  what  wc  consider  to  be  the  more 
important  subjecLs.  And  first  let  us

After  haring  gi^eo  a  miAote  detail 
of  the  life,  the  sitoatioo.  the  hM.'j.'j, 
the  resoarcea.  the  heary  rent,  Oie  uz-

tati<ms,  thewaotof  a  market  for  laboor, 
and  the  whole  pictnre  of  miwrr  and 
hopelecs  dependence  which  character- 
tu  the  life  of  the  Irish  peasant,  the 
aathor  says, 

*'  I  aak  yon  to  decide  whether  the  in- 
gcnaity  of  man,  or  of  Satan  himself,  cwld 
oontiirea  piece  of  machinery  more  ad- 
nirahly  edited  to  be  set  in  motioa  by  a 
desiguDgt  enfty  faandi  than  this  impoTc- 
rished,  hsranted  people,  eodoed,  ai  they 
are/wUh  fiery  spiriu,  quick  apprtfaeniioos, 
dsring  heart«»  and  powerfal  framn.  Add 
to  this,  that  in  the  whole  masi  is  infiued 
the  ouMt  nlimitcd  confidence  la,  and  de- 
votion to  the  Tcfy  system  that  looks  to 
them  for  its  adTancement,  on  the  ruins  of 
what  they  sre  taagfat  to  beliere  is  the 
we%ht  that  bears  them  down ;  and  yon 
hare  sn  appalling  but  a  correct  riew  of 
Iretsnd  in  her  present  state,  and  her 
seaming  ^o^wct," 

Ihe  aathor  then  proceeds  to  men- 
tion that  while  the  infasion  of  a  better, 
more  loyal,  and  more  christian  spirit 
into  the  hearts  of  the  adult,  was 
acarcely  probable,  or  could  be  ex- 
pected; a  system  of  education  for  the 
rising  generation  seemed  to  open  a 
brighter  prospect.  And  it  didtucerrd. 
Despite  of  all  that  the  Romish  priest- 
hood eonid  do,  wherever  a  scriptural 
school  was  opened,  thither  the  children 
flocked;  and  if  by  the  force  of  intimi- 
dation, or,  as  It  often  happened,  by  the 
Tigoroos  application  of  a  stout  horse- 
whip, the  little  ones  were  arrested  in 
their  path,  an  instance  was  never 
known  where  they  did  not  soon  con- 
trive to  surmount  the  barrier,  and  to 
retnm  flying  like  doves  to  their  win- 
dows. By  this  means  a  tie,  the  most 
enduring,  was  gradually  forming  be- 
tween the  poor  Romanist  population, 
ud  their  Protestant  landlords  and 
ncighbonn.  The  Bible  was  preimil-

These,  yon  will  say,  are  ftrong  state- 
ments ;  challenge  me  to  the  proof, — and 
proofs  jou  shall  have  concluuTe  as  to  the 
fact.  Thtu,  by  an  act  of  infatuation,  for 
which  CTen  the  history  of  Ireland  affords 
no  parallel,  the  only  feasible  plan  for 
ameliorating  the  physical  and  correcting 
the  moral  e%  iU  of  this  people,  has  been 
worse  than  abandoned ;  it  bas  been  adapt- 
ed to  the  aggravation  of  both.  viliateTer 
tends  to  rivet  the  fetters  of  Papal  domina* 
tioo  on  the  necks  uf  the  Irish  poor,  builds 
a  barrier  against  every  species  of  improve- 
ment. No  man  in  his  senses  can  affect 
blindness  to  the  fact,  that  tht  Chnrek  ^f 
Rome  U  ilrainiaff  every  nerve  to  recover 
Aer  former  footing  in  thi*  country,  ».r, 
to  reign,  as  she  did  for  some  centuriea 
previous  to  tbe  Reformation,  to  enjoy 
unrebcriedlj  tbe  ancient  Church  lands 
and  revenues,  and  to  replace  the  /». 
f cited  ettateu  in  the  hande  of  her  moet  dt- 
rated  lay  members.  You  may  question 
this  in  England,  but  in  Ireland  you  can- 
not. The  thing  Btares  you  in  the  face 
through  all  gradations  of  proof;  you  see 
it  in  tbe  ostentatious  magnificence  of 
the  costly  Mosa^house,  for  out^-ying  the 
Protestant  Cathedrals,  while  the  pooipoQi 
insignia  of  those  openly  assuming  the

Debates  flf  ihr  H*fUM  t^  Common*  in 
1774.  Hit  fAe  Govpmmtnt  of  dnuida, 
SfC.  1839.     B\f  J.  Wright. 

THE  editor  of  this  work  has  afford- 
ed us  such  curious  information  regard- 
ing  it.  and  connccti-<l  with  it,  as  wilt 
be  interesting  to  our  reoilors  ;  and  w« 
will  therefore  endeavour  to  give  it  in 
an  abridged    form.     The  debates  in 
the  House  of  Commons  in  )774  on  thr 
bill  for   making  more  effectual  pro- 
vision for  the  government  of  Quebec, 
arv  not  rrportvd  in  any  «/  t/te  jiuhlico' 
iiowf  of  the  time ;  m  strictly  was  the 
standing  order  enforced  for    the  ex> 
rlusiuD   of  btrangcm,   and  so  rigidly 
were  those  persons  punished  who  veo- 
tuied  to  make  public  the  speeches  uf 
the  members,  that  none  but  the  acunti- 
est  outlines  have    been  given  to  the 
world. 

There  was,  however,  at  that  ttmc  io 
the  House  of  Commons  a  gentleman 
of  rank  and  talent  (Sir  Henry  Caven- 
dish, Uart.  Member  for   Lostwithiel) 
who  took copioaa  notes,  in  shorthand, 
of  the  whole  of  the  debates,  and  from 
his    MSS.    the    speeches  have  been 
drawn  up  in  this  work.    With  rcgar* 
to  the  bill  itself  and  the  debates  upon 
it.  it  receives  a  very  high  addition*' 
interest  from  what  passed  in  tlic  lab 
Session  of  Parliament  on  the  subject ' 
of  Canada,  and  of  the  prupoaitiou  to 
re-unite  llie  two  provinces.     The  edi- 
tor juatlv  says,  these  deluites,  in  l77-t( 
come  before  m  recommended  by  the 
magnitude   of  the   subject,  ttie  great 
talents  and  high  characterof  the  several 
speakers   who  look    part    in     them, 
and  the   importance    of    the    views 
which  are  opened  out  by  them.    Two 
generations  have    passed    away    and 
yet  the  debates  might  be  mnccived  to 
he  thofie  of  yesterday  ;  t>o  completely 
are  the  circumstances  of  the  country 
brought  round  by  time   to  the  point 
from  which  they  fiist  started.     We 
must  now  p:t«s  on  to  the  subject  nf  an

have  said  that  the  debates  from  May

almost  a  blank  i  tliose  who  would

[Not. 


dotes  in  ir97»  tbe  fulloirring  curious 
passage  is  found  : — 

*'  If  ever  Sir  Henry  CavradUih  rhouU

ITousc  of  Commons  which  be  took  in

any  which  hu  been  hitlierto  published." 

Mr.  Wright  met  with  this  passage 
about  fifteen  years  since,  and  has  hren 
Ircmthat  tiiuu  endeavouring  to  discover 
in  whose  hands  thiti  valuable  cnll^ction 
•was  dcpoeited  :  it  waa  only  in  the  bc- 
^inniog  of  the  present  year  that  he 
found  it  among  the  Kyertmi  witmn- 
nirifla.  It  constats  of  forty-eight 
Toluroes  quarto,  and  contains  reports 
of  nil  the  important  debates  which 
touk  place  during  the  eix  sessions  of 
the  above  Pnrtiamcnt.  Mr.  Wright 
has  verified  it  as  the  undoubted  pro- 
duction of  Mr.  Cavcudi^h„  who  became, 
177C,  Sir  Henry  Caveodi.ih,  and  who, 
in  1779.  was  made  receiver-general 
of  Irclund,  and  member  of  the  privy 
council,  Mr.  White  mentions  an 
instance  of  the  value  of  this  collection, 
in  the  prescrration  of  Mr.  George 
Grenville's  speech  in  1770  on  contro. 
Tcrtcd  elections,  whicli  was  much 
wished  for  in  the  cnur&c  of  tlie  recent 
debate  on  Lord  Miihon's  motion  rcla. 
tive  to  Election  Committees. 

Lord  Droughani  urged  Mr.  Wright 
to  publish  the  whole  of  these  debates, 
and  called  the  attention  of  the  House 
of  Lords  and  her  Majesty's  mlnlsterB 
to  the  importance  of  facililalini;  Mr. 
Wright's  endeavonrs.  The  tru&tces 
also  of  the  Kritii^h  Museum  gave  jicr- 
nission  fur  thu  manuscripts  being

Another  portion  is  written  out  from 
short  hand  notee,  but  the  outline  is  not 
filled  up,  a  third  part  reraaios  still  in

more  minutely  detailed  than  usual, 
and  every  speech  contaioi  the  actual 
words  made  use  of,  taken  down  with- 
out  alteration  or  embellishment.  It  ti 
curious  that  from  these  reports  Mr. 
G.  Grenville  wah  KUpplied  by  Mr. 
Cavendish  in  17C9  with  u  copy  of  the 
only  speech  he  ever  published, — that 
acainst  the  motion  for  cxpellinE  Mr. 
WilkoE).  Mr.  Burke  aUo received  from 
the  same  quarter  his  speech  on  Ameri- 
can Taxation  in  1774,  which  he  aftff 
wards  printed  in  a  corrected  form.

friend,  H.O.W." 


Ada,  a  TaU.    By  Camilla  Needham. 

THE  author  of  this  tale  aays  truly, 
"  that  there  is  no  interest  excited  by 
the  display  of  \icious  passions,  which 
by  familiarizing  the  mind  with  vice, 
unavoidably  destroys  its  innocence  ;'* 
but  injury  may  also  be  done,  by  giving 
to  the  natural  and  even  virtuous  affec- 
tions of  the  mind,  a  power  and  strength 
which    they   ought   not    to    posaesa, 
which  is  incompatible  with  the  proper 
balance  of  the  mind,  and  destructive  of 
the  beat  purposesof  life.  To  keep  young 
females  from  vicious  companions  and 
vicious  books,  requires  no  superior  vi- 
gilance in  the  present  well-regulated 
system  of  society ;  but  so  to  educate 
them  as  to  make  gaud  aon«f<  and  good 
feeling  the  ruling  principles  of  Uieir 
conduct ;  to  give  them  a  mastery  and 
control  over  their  "  moods  and  affec- 
tions;" to  show  them  the  danger  of 
habituating  their  minds  to  the  more 
violent  and  attractive  passions,  should 
be  the  aim  and  purpose  of  the  instruc- 
tor.  We  areafraid  that  the  beat  heroine 
of  the  best  novel  would  make  a  strange 
figure  in  the  society  of  real  life  ;  there 
is  always  more  or  less  exaggeration  of 
feeling  supported  by  improbability  of 
incident;  and  those  who  read  these 
tales  of  love  and  wonder,  arc  in  time 
inclioed  to  expect  incidents  that  never 
can  occur,  to  expect  changes  of  fortune 
against  all  chances  of  probability,  and 
to  count  those  feelings  and  passions 
hannless  or  heroic,  which  arc  destroy- 
ing all  that  is  good  and  respectable  in 
the  mind.     The  present  story  is  meant 
aa  a   warning    lesson    to    coquettes ; 
though  we  must  confess  that  the  co- 
quetry of  the  heroine  is  not  of  a  very 
dark  or  malignant  character.     She  is 
the  eldest  of  two  daughters,  living  very 
happily,   in  affluence,  with  an   aflFec- 
tionate  father;  and   she  pines  away 
even  to  the  gates  of  death,  as  if  de- 
voured by  an  inward  and  fatal  disease 
which  »he  could  not  control,  for  re- 
moree  at  having  behaved  coquettishly 
to  a  person  whom  she  knew  loved  her, 
but  whose  character  ia  so  loosely  and 


imperfectly   sketched,    as   to    render 
it  impossible  sufficiently  to  sympathise 
with  the  sorrows   he  is  supposed    to 
feel.     lu  real  life  it  would  have  ended 
in  this  way.     Her  father  would  have 
written    the   following  letter    to   the 
lover.     "  My  dear  Sir,  My  daughter 
Caroline  has  behaved   very  foolishly 
and  ridiculously  in  coquetting  with  a 
coxcomb,  while  8he*is  really  attached 
to  you.   1  fear  she  has  received  no  good 
from  a  late  visit  to  a  romantic  friend, 
whose  boudoir  is  full  of  Mr.  Bulwer's 
novels ;  indeed,  I  caught  her  readhig 
'The  Violet,  or  LaDanseuse,*  the  other 
day.    1  can  say,  she  now  heartily  re- 
grets the  folly  and  ingratitude  of  her 
conduct ;  and  we  expect  to  see  you  to 
our  family  dinner,  at  6  o'clock,  as  6e- 
fore.    Yours,  &c.'*     As  to  the  general 
merit  of  this  work,  we  are  afraid  we 
must  say,  that  there  is  a  want  of  force 
and  finish  about  the  characters  ;  they 
are    but   incompletely   drawn.     Miss 
Grey  Is  a  little  caricatured,  and  Mrs. 
Palmer's  features  are  not  successfully 
hit  off.  We  recommend  to  the  author  of 
the  work,  with  every  feeling  of  respect, 
notwithstanding  what  we  have   been 
obliged  to  say,  the  attentive  study  of 
Miss  Austen's  novels,  as  approaching 
the  truth  of  nature  and  of  life  nearer 
than  any  stories   of  fiction  we  ever 
read ;  and  as  showing  what  are  the 
truest  and  most  permanent  sources  of 
interest,  which  can  be  drawn  from  the 
common  incidents  of  life,  and  the  cha- 
racters   we    meet    with  in  the  daily 
walks  of  social  intercourse;  herskctches 
are   imperishable ;  all  is  natural  and 
healthy  about  them,  though  no  hero 
or  heroine  teith  long  dark    eyetaiheSp 
marble  brown,  or  chispllfd  Up*,  is  to  be 
found  among  them. 


Thp  UtHlory  and  Antiquities  of  Car" 
liiln  Cathedral.     By  Robert  William 
Billings.  4to.})t.  11.  15  plates. 
SINCE  our  last  review  (Aug.  Mag. 
p.  170)  Mr.   Billings  has  produced  a 
second  portion  of  his  work  on  this  ca- 
thedral.     It    contains  fifteen    plates* 
displaying  views   of  the   architecture 
and  details  of  the  mouldings  and  deco- 
rations of  this  curious,  though  muti- 
lated and  decayed,  pile.     The  letter- 
press being  reserved  until  the  comple- 
tion of  the  work,  we  are  only  able  to

engravings  afford.  The  subjects  hsTc 
beeo  chDscD  witli  equal  taste,  and  the 
puinU  ut  view  selected  fur  tlie  per. 
spcctivc  drawings  with  the  saitie  de- 
gree of  judgment  as  that  which  di^- 
tin^i»hed  the  former  portion  of  the 
work. 

The  alterations  -which  we  noticed 
in  our  preceding  revlevi-  as  having 
been  made  in  the  Itnicture  at  the  close 
of  the  thirteenth  century,  appear  to 
have  preotly  injured  llie  stability  of 
that  part  of  the  older  pile  whicli  wu*: 
allowed  to  be  retained.  The  introduc- 
tion of  the  puintfd  archt-s  into  the 
middle  of  the  transept  for  llie  support 
of  the  tower  have  prenlly  injured  that 
portion  of  ihe  structure  ;  tlte  walla  arc 
cracked  by  ihettpreadingof  the  pierAof 
lliC  lower,  and  a  Xnrroan  arch  in  the 
northern  transept  is  so  broken  and 
crippled  in  its  architrave  a^  to  render 
it  a  matter  of  surpris«  that  it  should 
not,  with  the  buperincumbont  wall, 
have  fallen  into  immediate  ruin. 

Tw^o  sections  of  the  transept,  given 
in  plates  vi.  and  vii.  fully  show  the 
extent  of  the  alterations  to  which  wc 
huve  altudcd*  and  exhibit  the  injury 
which  is  80  apparent  in  this  part; 
this  latter  feature  is  still  more  plainly 
Been  in  plate  xxvi.  which  \%  a  per- 
spective view  of  the  transept.  In  this 
leprescntation  it  is  shown  how  sin- 
gularly the  Norman  piers  have 
been  applied  to  the  support  of  the 
mure  modern  pillars,  intended  to  sus- 
tain ait  arch,  in  the  Pointexl  style,  of 
greater  altitude  than  the  older  Nor- 
luau  work.  Tlic  mode  pursued  in  the 
conversion  of  Normnn  ttilo  Pointed 
architecture,  so  common  in  our  early 
churches,  may  be  seen  in  the  present 
cathedral  far  more  distinctly  than 
perhaps  in  any  other  Rlrurlurc  :  the 
vciy  method  in  which  it  WHseflcclrd, 
and  the  gradual  manner  in  which  llie 
change  proceeded,  is  very  pl«inly  seen  j 
and  for  some  reason  ibr  ftltcrntion 
appears  to  have  been  suddenly  ^tnppn) 
when  the  building  was  in  an  actual 
stale  of  transition,  and  just  at  tJiat 
jwrlod  ".vhcn  enough  wns  done  to

Ktoration  of  the  ancient  itllin|i  of  l)ii>

archrd  beams  into  compartments, 
which  arc  subdivided  into  aquare 
(jfluelB  with  moulded  Btyles,  having 
shields  or  flowers  at  the  angles.  Ic 
may  be  regarded  as  a  very  uocommoa 
example  of  a  panelled  ceiling,  on  ae- 
cDuntofits  semicircular  ficclion,  hut 
the  ogc  we  should  consider  to  be  very 
late,  probably  a^t-r  the  dissolalion* 
and  long  past  the  period  when  Gothic 
architecture  had  In!tt  ita  parity.  At 
the  spring  of  the  ceiling  there  arc  some 
remarkable  hrocketa  in  the  form  of  a 
"carpenter's  square,  which  do  not  ap- 
pear to  have  any  oQicc  to  perform  in 
the  restored  ceiling;  ihcy  were,  pro- 
bably, yiortions  of  an  earlier  one,  whicb 
was,  in  all  iirobability,  not  completed, 
and  »)Upcr5edod  by  that  which  forms 
the  Mibjeci  of  the  plate.  The  princi- 
pal tiba  stni  exist  in  a  sound  state,  bat 
the  new  one  of  lath  and  plaster  be- 
neath them  is  in  a  state  of  decay, 
adding  one  more  trhimph  to  the  many 
already  recorded  of  the  superiority  of 
ancient  over  modern  workmanship. 

The  south  aisle  retains  its  original 
gruining,  which  is  of  the  Blmpleat  kind, 
without  bosses;  the  arch  is  acotclr 
poinlcd.  the  columns  clustered  with 
ftncty  formed  plinths  aud  elegant 
capitals  enriched  with  foliage,  and  the 
windows  lancet-shaped.  The  archi- 
tecture is  exceedingly  pure,  and  the 
pers{)ective,  as  shown  in  plate  xxvu. 
highly  effective. 

Plate  XLiv,  an  exterior  view  oflbe

have  been  if  a  similar  work  wiu  ia  ex- 
ifttcacc  illustrative  of  each  ooi;  of  our 
cathedrals.  If  from  decay,  or  destruc- 
tion by  time  or  accident,  any  portioo  of 
a  cathedral  requin^d  rebuilding,  as  in 
the  case  of  York  Minster,  such  a  scries 
of  plate*  would,  at  leo&t,  have  pos- 
sessed the  merit  of  shewing  what  the 
restoration  ought  to  have  been,  if  the 
vanity  of  the  architect  had  not  allowed 
htm  to  copy  with  hdelity  the  original 
features  of  the  structure  he  had  been 
employed  to  restore.  We  shall  rejoice 
to  seethe  several  cathedrals  left  undone 
by  Mr,  Brilton,  as  well  ah  those  of 
the  two  newly  created  Acea,  iUu.itrated 
in  an  equally  copious  and  faithful 
manner  with  the  one  now  before  us  ; 
and  we  now  take  our  leave  of  Mr.  Hil- 
ling's work  with  the  full  antici{^tion 
ttiat  ihc  concluding  portion  will  be 
quite  equal  to  those  which  have  already 
puaed  under  our  review. 

Godwin'i  CAvrcAet  iff  London.  2  vols. 
Sro. 
THIS  work  is  now  completed,  and 
contains  notices,  with  views,  cither  on 
copper  or  wood,  of  all  the  Churclien 
within  the  city  of  London,  as  well  as 
Si.  Pcter'9,  Saffron  Hill,  and  the 
Chapel  of  the  Tower.  'ITie  accounts 
of  many  of  the  churches  described  in 
the  second  volume  are  very  briefly 
written,  and  illuelrnted  only  by  a  single 
wood-cut  of  the  exterior.  It  is  to  be 
regretted  thai,  in  consequence  of  tlie 
determination  of  the  publishers  to  con- 
fiae  the  work  to  two  volumes,  the 
author  was  necessarily  unable  to  do 
adequate  justice  to  his  subject.  To 
liBve  illustrated  the  building**  accord- 
ing to  their  importance  nnd  value, 
the  structure  should  have  been  di'picted 
on  copper,  and  a  profuhion  or.wuml- 
ruts  given  of  the  most  remarkable 
objects  contained  in  each.  For  in- 
•t«oce  the  fonts  and  other  carving*  of 
Gibbons,  and  many  very  interesting 
Anonament«,  with  ground  plans  and 
otiier  matters,  ought  to  hcivc  been  in- 
troduMd,  OA  it  in  after  all  of  very  tittle 
utility  to  nmltiptyvicwsofthechurchcs

quaoce  of  the  confined  space,  many 
of  Wren's  churrhes  are  dismissed  in  a 
*er%*  summiirv  mnnner.  We  think  tite 
diapcl  "  Hdt,  which   is  not

tlint  near  Gough  Square,  iiiighl  have 
bt't-n  omitted,  nnd  thu  plates  dedicated 
to  older  and  more  striking  examples 
of  church  architecture. 

We  take   up  our   review  from  the 
point  at  which  we  left  off  in  the  Maga-  ■{ 
zine  for  March  1838,  p.  280. 

St.  Gilrs,  CBiPPt.EOA.TR.  Id  this 
church,  which  contains  a  number  of 
monumenU  of  more  than  common 
interest,  is  a  tablet  to  the  memory  of 
Glover  the  Herald,  which  we  notice  to 
record  the  resloration  of  the  inscrip- 
tion by  Frederick  Henry  Kornwell^ 
F.S.A.  of  BnrySt.  Pldmond**,  n  gen- 
tleman by  no  means  unknown  to  our 
rea<lera  ;  such  eianiples  are  dcf^erving;! 
of  notice  wherever  they  occur,  and  wo 
cheerfully  lead  our  aid  to  give  ihem 
publicity. 

St.VrDAST,  Fo«TBB.LANK.    ThOflU- 

thor  notices  the  stone  coffin  discovered 
in  Cheapsidc  in  I63G,  whjrh  we  are 
pleased  to  hear  is  preserved  in  the 
burying  ground. 

St.  IIei.ek.  Tbe  space  ^  allowed  is 
not  sufBcient  to  do  justice  to  this 
curious  church.  The  view  of  the  in- 
terior is  ingeniously  calculated  to  dis- 
play the  most  striking  ofthemonu-] 
mcnts  in  the  pile,  but  it  is  not  suR]- 
cient  to  shew  the  architecture  of  the 
church,  of  which  only  one  arch  is  re- 
preseuieO.  The  helmet  in  the  vestry, 
improperly  attributed  to  Sir  John 
Crosby,  appears  to  be  suspended  over 
his  tomb  ;  this  i»  far  from  correct,  as  it 
helps  to  perpetuate  an  error. 

St.  Mary  ABcmrncii  hns  a  ceiling 
painted  by  Sir  Jamea  Thornhill,  afacti 
very  little  known, 

St.  Eumundthe  King  was  repaired 
in  1833,  and  at  this  time  ])aintiiig&  of 
Mosps  and  Aaron  were  added  from 
the  masterly  |)cnci)  of  W.  F.tty,  Esq. 
R.A. 

Under  the  head  of  St.  LArnENCR 
Jrwrv,  a  paintingi»  noticed,  which,  ftj 
few  years  since,  was  to  be  seen  at  tl, 
altar  ;  it  reprcflents  the  martyrdom  of^ 
St.  Laurence,  nnd  the  effect  of  the 
light  from  the  fire  by  which  the  saint 
is  tormented,  is  very  striking  and  mag.i 
nificcnt;  the  figure  of  St.  Latirrnccift 
admirnhlv  foreshortened.  Why  the

a  collection  of  misccllaDeous  notices 
of  public  works  and  other  raattens  in 
coDueiion  with  the  objects  uf  the 
Revue. 

There  is  a  clerer  essay  on  Hyzantine 
architecture  by  M.  Albert  Lenuir.  en- 
tltlr<l,  "  KrB|;incntd'un  cour6  d'Archi- 
tecturrChre'tieniie.faitalaBibliothcque 
Royale  en  1838."  The  author  aR^umeFi 
the  cylindrical  or  octagonal  t'orm.sur- 
moDDted  fay  a  dome  and  surruuudud  by 
aisles  and  chapels,  to  have  been  that 
which  was  adopted  by  Coastantine 
in  the  early  christian  churches  erected 
by  him  ;  in  cnnfirmation  ol' which  the 
bftsilica  of  tlie  Virgin  at  Antiocb,  dc- 
acribcd  by  Eusebius,  la  cited  as  an  ex- 
ample of  the  polygonal,  and  the  church 
of  the  Aacension  un  the  Mount  of 
Olives,  founded  by  St.  Melena,  as  on 
example  of  the  circular  form.  St. 
MarcellinuK  and  St.  L'onstantia  at 
Rome  are  also  brought  forward  as 
other  »>pvciincnsof  this  fonu,  and  the 
Holy  Sepulchre  might  also  have  been 
named,  which,  after  all  its  misfor- 
tones,  still  retains  its  circular  plan 
and  cupola.  'J'hc  author  then  proceeds 
to  Ravenna,  which  he  adduces  as  an 
example  in  vrhirh  the  prototype  of 
Coiutantinc  woii  followed  in  the 
westeru  empire ;  ilin  church  was 
founded  in  54  7-  Thi$  class  of  churches 
forms  the  author's  first  ^yotein,  and  this. 
he  considers,  reaches  from  the  fourth 
to  the  sixth  century.  His  second  sys- 
tem, extruding  from  the  ftixth  to  the 
Ihirteeath  century,  takes  in  a  class  of 
churches  in  which  the  circular  cupola 
u  described  within  an  exterior  square 
plan;  the  parlier  examples  he  takes 
from  the  buildings  of  Justinian,  ad* 
ducinp  the  church  of  SS.  Sergius  and 
Bacchus  at  Constantinople,  styled  the 
little  St.  Sophia,  as  an  caily  and  per- 
fect example,  and  the  more  important 
rbarch  of  St.  Sophia  in  the  same  city 
ai  an  elaborate  plan  formed  on  tbe 
same  Idea,  bat  retaining  the  elements 
of  the  original  formalion ;  and  this 
plan,  with  hut  little  variety,  seems  to 
have  been  the  common  form  of  the 
subsequent  Greek  churches,  at  may  be 
aeeo  in  the  I'anagia  Lyrndimo  at 
Athens.  This  form  was  further  im- 
proved by  the  addition  of  several  cu- 
polas, and  eventually  by  the  cruciform 
plan  being  distinctly  developed  in  the 
elevation  of  tl:c  church,  a  portion  of 
tbe  ttructuie  being  made  to  rise  above 

CiaMT.  Mao.  Vol.  XJt. 


the  square  plan  in  a  second  ?tage, 
answering  to  the  clerestory  of  the 
Gothic  cathedraU  :  this  arrangement 
is  plainly  shewn  in  a  Byzantine  rhurch 
useil  as  the  cathedral  of  Athens  ;  aod  it 
will  be  readily  perceived  that  the 
latter  plan  in  thit.  its  farther  improved 
fitatej  governed  the  structures  of  Bru- 
nelleschi  aud  M,  Angelo.  evidently j 
showing  that  tlie  simple  heraisphcrv' 
of  Coiistantine  and  Hptena  was  the 

fioreot  of  thi-  lofty  central  domes  of  St, 
'eter's  and  of  Florence,  and  their  nu- 
merous  successors. 

The  author  also  traces  the  altera- 
tions io  the  form  of  the  cupola  from  the 
hemisphere  to  the  bcU-shopedood  other 
varieties  :  he  points  out  the  improve- 
ment which,  to  gain  ffrcatc-r  altitude, 
first  elevated  the  cupola  on  a  tambour, 
and  consequently  transferred  the  win- 
dows which  at  first  were  pierced  in 
the  vault,  to  the  tnmboiir,  and  after- 
wards, ns  at  tile  church  o(  Mon^  t^ 
Korii<i,  nr  tbe  House  of  the  Virgin,  at 
Constantinople,  in  furtherance  of  the 
same  objectj  ticvated  the  dome  and 
tambour  on  a  equart:  basement. 

It  appears  to  us  that  the  probable 
cause  of  the  union  ufthe  quadrilateral 
with  the  circutor  plan  arose  from  tha>] 
wish  to  unite  in  one  structure;  the  two 
several  forms  which  are  met  with  in  the 
early  basilicas.  Although  the  author 
may  be  perfectly  correct  in  attributiof^i 
the  use  of  the  circular  form  to  Constnn'^l 
line,  yet  it  must  be  recollected  that 
the  majority  of  the  basilica^},  as  well'^ 
as  the  churches  built  in  imitation  of 
them,  were  in  plan  oblong  squares, 
not  surmounted  by  cupolas;  thus  then 
there  were  two  sorts  of  churches  exist- 
ing together,  the  oblong. square  with  its 
aisles  placed  laterally  to  the  main  body, 
and  the  circular  ur  polysonal  with 
surrounding  aisles.  After  ihe-ii-  forms 
had  existed  many  years,  the  architects, 
for  the  si^e  of  variety,  aimed  at  pro- 
ducing a  third  furro.  and  for  this  pur- 
pose tJhey  determmvd  to  unite  the  two 
farmer  plans,  placing  the  circular 
church  with  its  dome  within  the  square 
plan:  in  consequence,  the  plan  which 
resulted  from  this  arrangernrnt  natu* 
rally  assumed  the  form  of  the  cross, 
and  at  the  ^ame  time  tlie  respect  to 
ancient  forms  and  arrangements  at* 
tendant  on  religious  stjucturvd  was 
preserved,  and  altitude  was  given  to  the 
oblong  church,  which  at  first  it  needed.

P.  232.  Norbury  Church  is  a  struc- 
ture replete  with  interest  to  the  anti- 
quary. The  mouldings  of  the  battte- 
menti  of  the  chancel  of  the  church 
posMss  rather  an  uncommon  feature ; 
they  are  formed  with  canted  instead 
of  horizontal  lines,  as  well  in  the  bat* 
tlements  as  the  embrasure.  Although 
this  is  an  architectural  feature  of  some 
peculiarity,  yet  we  cannot  agree  with 
the  author  in  supposing  that  the 
form  waa  adopted  in  allusion  to  the 
lines  of  the  vatr  in  the  Norbury 
arms.  The  stained  glass  existing  in 
this  church  is  very  valuable ;  it  dates 
about  1473. 

The  very  pleasing  custom  of  pre- 
senting garlands  of  flowers  to  newly 
married  couples,  on  leaving  the 
church,  is  still  prevalent  among  the 
TiUagersof  Alton. P.275.  Thisvillageis 
distinguished  by  the  splendid  mansion 
and  picturesque  domain  of  the  Earl 
of  Shrewsbury,  of  which  a  description 
is  given* 

The  most  curious  subject  in  the  bio- 
graphical department  of  the  work  is 
the  memoir  of  Mr.  Richard  Cadman 
Etches,  a  native  of  Ashboum,  and  a 
merchant  and  shipowner  in  London, 
who  it  is  said  performed  many  essen- 
tial services  to  bis  country  in  the  pe- 
riod which  succeeded  the  French  re- 
volution and  the  subsequent  war. 
Among  the  many  important  mea- 
sures said  to  be  effected  through  bis 
agency,  one  was  a  negotiation  for 
an  exchange  of  prisoners  with  France, 
by  which  upwards  of  12,000  English 
prisoners  were  restored  to  their 
country,  at  an  expense  not  exceeding 
six  hundred  pounds.  Another  was 
the  successful  plan  he  formed,  and 
carried  into  execution*  for  the  libera- 
tion of  the  valiant  but  now  neglected 
Sir  Sydney  Smith  from  the  Temple 
at  Paris.  A  vast  number  of  other 
projects  of  great  importance  to  the 
country  appear  to  have  been  started 
by  this  gentleman,  and  adopted  by 
the  ministry  of  his  day.  Mr.  Etches 
appears  to  nave  been  honoured  wiUi 
ue  confidence  of  the  government  to  a 
high  degree,  during  th«  time  when  his 


utility  was  felt;  but,  in  common  with 
many  other  political  characters,  may 
have  been  forgotten  when  his  ser- 
vices were  less  needed.  He  died  in 
London  in  1817  or  1816. 

The  author  or  compiler  of  the  pre- 
sent volume  would  have  rendered  his 
book  more  valuable  if  he  had  made  use 
of  the  higher  order  of  antiquarian 
authorities ;  the  margin  is  crowded 
with  references  to  a  number  of  works, 
chiefly  distinguished  for  their  popular 
and  in  general  superficial  character; 
for  instance,  some  very  general  remarks 
on  sepulchral  monuments,  which  could 
be  useful  only  to  the  merest  tyro  in 
antiquities,  are  supported  by  no  higher 
authorities  than  the  "  Pictorial  History 
of  England,"  and  "  Gould's  Diction- 
ary of  Painters,"  The  greater  portion 
of  the  historical  matter  is  compiled, 
as  appears  by  the  margin,  from  the 
"Beauties of  England  and  Wales,"  a 
work  in  itself  a  mere  compilation  ;  and 
from  the  author's  account  of  the  Ash- 
bourn  inscription  he  does  not  seem  to  be 
even  acquainted  with  a  book  so  com- 
mon as  Pegge's  Sylloge  of  Inscriptions. 
The  Roll  of  Battle  Abbey  is  repeat- 
edly quoted,  without  the  slightest  ex- 
pression of  a  doubt  having  ever  been 
raised  upon  its  authority.  The  com- 
piler was  probably  unused  to  topogra- 
phical authorship  at  the  time  he  com- 
menced his  publication  ;  so  far  as  his 
personal  knowledge  extended,  he  has 
rendered  his  book  serviceable  to  the 
tourist,  and  if  writers  of  guide  books 
would  furnish  their  readers  with  ac- 
curate descriptive  accounts,  supported 
only  by  such  historical  matter  as  may 
be  absolutely  necessary  to  assist  the 
elucidation  of  their  subject,  they 
would  produce  a  smaller,  it  is  true, 
but  at  the  same  time  a  book  equally  as 
instructive  and  amusing  as  one  in 
which  its  pages  are  spun  out  with  quo- 
tations from  the  mere  popular  works 
of  the  day.

A  lithographic  specimen  from  the

of  Je6us  Colleee,  Oxford,  is  prefixed 
10  the  talc  of  tVreilur  the  son  of  Et.

of  the  story ;  and  another  is  added 
from  n  ATS.  in  the  iiu&wssion  of  Mr. 
Justice  Bosanquc-t.  This  mabinopi  is 
a  aeriev  of  adventures,  many  of  which 
are  totally  unconnected  with  others, 
which  detracts  la  a  great  degree  from 
the  interest  it  might  olhcrwi^  afford. 
If.  however,  it  Iw  less  rotertnining

period  mentioned  that  part  would  have 
been  especially  guarded  by  those  sin- 
gular protections  called  ailrlles,  or 
little  winjs,  which  appear  sometimes 
in  front,  sometimes  behind,  and  at 
others  on  the  side,  and  equally  vari- 
ous in  shape,  as  squares,  circles,  pen- 
tagons, shield-like,  &c.  They  wen 
introduced  towards  the  dose  nf  the 
reign  of  Kdw.  I.  and  continual  unbl 
the  commencement  of  that  of  Edward 
III.  Comparing  this  with  a  passage 
in  the  Morte  d'Artur,  cited  in  the  note«. 
we  find  that  this  was  a  favourite  part 
to  attack  in  most  encounters.  "  Tlit 
messagera  shamefully'*  sent  Anhnr

but  that  they  were  come  to  g>'vc  faym 
ycflcs  with  hard  swerdys  betwixt  the 
neck  and  the  sholders."  Here  thro^ 
probably,  we  see  what  gave  especial 
rise  to  the  aitettes.  and  their  pre*^ 
lency  was  long  enough  to  bring  thu 
system  of  aggressinn  into  desuetude  i 
until  a  similar  cause  occasioned  the 
pAssrgardes  of  the  first  part  of  the 
sixteenth  century. 

The  word  ftrhyll,  which  occart  ia

Conveys  tn  the  mind  a  mere  coveriof

Such  early  use  of  the  Imory  of  car- 
pets in  this  island  would,  [Krliaps, 
nardly  have  been  conceived ;  butwe  find 
that  Eastern  comfort  hail  been  observed 
equally  as  much  &.-<  thi-  pAvilionA,  and 
the  authority,  pp.  2ft2  and  354,  is 
loo  runous  to  be  omitted:  "Arthur 
was  at  Caerlleon  upon  Vsk,  his  prin- 
cipal paUce :  and  in  the  centre  of  the 
floor  of  tbe  hall  were  four  men  Bitting 
on  a  carpet  of  velvet  (cistcf)  ar  Icon 
obali)."  Here  then  we  have  a  manu- 
facture with  thf  pile  cut  in  the  manner 
of  our  modern  bearth-ruga  ;  and  even 
if  it  came  from  Persia,  the  use  of  it  for 
great  personages  must  have  been  pretty 
extensive  in  the  thirteenth  century  to 
hare  been  assigned  to  a  palace  in 
Walea. 

But  we  leani  tbe  elegant  ttatc  of  the 
arts  from  the  description  p.  353  of  a 
goblet  fur  wine,  the  stand  of  which  had 
the  form  of  "  a  wild  beast's  claw/'  an 
ornament  appropriated  often  at  that 
period  to  the  terminations  of  the  legs 
of  stools  and  tables. 

It  would  tend  to  let  the  t|UcstioD  at 
rest  whether  the  Welsh  derited  the 
practice  of  armorial  bearings  from  the 
Normans,  as  is  mobt  jtrobable,  or 
whether  it  originated  ainung  them- 
•elves,  were  a  diligent  search  made 
for  heraldic  terms  among  their  most 
ancient  authors  ;  for  the  latter  post* 
tion  can  only  be  maintained  by  shew* 
ing  their  uriginality.  We  have,  at 
page  284.  the  Welsh  word  for  a  fess, 
which  is  athruKtt,  or  rather  ifirawtt ; 
but  as  this  is  derived  from  trawa^ 
"across,"  its  testimony  perse  is  of 
no  great  force.  The  passage,  p.  356, 
runs  thus : 

"  And  *bile  they  were  equipping  theai< 
eeHes,  bebold  a  Lni^ht  caiue  tu  the  gate.

The  housing  and  surcoat  being  em- 
blazoned like  the  shield,  fixes  the  C08>-J 
tume  tnthc  latter  half  of  thethirtecnt 
century. 

The  chess-board,  mentioned  at  p. 
358,  must  have  been  about  the  size  of 
the  door  against  which  it  was  placed. 
Many  notices  occur  in  the  old  ri>maa- 
ccd  of  such  large  tables  ;  and  Stmtt 
records  the  existence  of  some  for  other

endeavoured  to  point  out  the  informa-'

again  congratulate  the  public  that  a 
liberal  purse  and  unwearied  exertions 
are  busily  employed  in  the  production 
of  such  a  mass  of  curious  reading  as 
is  contained  in  the  Mabinogioo.

Naworth  Castle,  the  chief  residence 
of  the  Dncres  loriJs  of  Gilslaod.  has 
been  characterised  by  Sir  Walter  Scott 
as  "  one  of  those  extensive  baronial 
seats  which  marked  the  splendour  of 
our  ancient  nobles,  before  they  ex* 
changed  the  hospitable  roagnihcence 
of  a  life  spent  amongst  numerous 
tenantry,  for  the  uncertain  honours 
of  court  attendance,  and  tbe  equi-*

Tbta  little  book  includes  a  vety  in- 
tertsling  biography  of  Lord  William 
Howard,  for  winch  tlic  materials  have 
been  furnished  in  the  elaborate  and 
very  maguiticcnt  volume,  of  Memorials 
of  Uie  Howard  family,  recently  printed 
by  Mr.  Howard  of  Corby. 

Hie  ancient  MS.  relative  to  the 
abbey  of  Glaatoubut)*,  deflcribed  in 
t)ie  txtraet  we  have  given  respecting 
the  library,  ib  the  ^ame  which  was 
inquired  afier  by  the  latt:  Mr.  Douce, 
in  our  Magazine,  shortly  before  the 
publication  of  Warrer's  History  of 
Glastonbury.  We  ore  happy  to  £nd 
that  it  IK  fltdl  preserved. 

In  p.  37  we  find  mentioned  four 
large  carvings  of  wood,  in  the  great 
hall,  "  riipre%eDting  a  grifBn.  a  unicoro, 
a  dolphin,  and  a  bull ;  thne/'  it  ii 


added,  •'  formed  the  «•*!/»  of  the 
Dacre.  Multon,  Greystock.  and  Grim- 
thorp  families,  and  have  evidently  been 
modf  to  carry  baitarrs  with  the  same 
arms."  Gigantic  carvings  of  this  kind 
are  6ecn  over  the  gateways  of  several 
of  the  ca&tle&  tn  the  Xorth,  as  at 
1 1  ilton,  and  elsewhere.  We  notice 
the  present  dr»cription,  to  remark 
upon  the  inaecaracy  of  the  term  crests  i 
they  wonld  more  properly  be  called 
supporters.  At  the  time  of  their  eie- 
cution  they  u>ed  to  be  called  "  beasts," 
uud  only  oae  was  used,  which  bore  tha 
armA  on  a  banner,  ai  mcntioaed  in  the 
present  ca.5e.  Tlio  ancient  ctt*/*  of 
these  familicAi  it  will  be  found  on  in- 
quir)',  were  somctliing  different;  for 
all  ancient  crests  are  such  as  a  knight 
might  really  carry  on  his  head,  not  an 
entire  animal,  neither  an  elephant 
nor  a  castle. — though  very  frequently 
an  animal's  head. 

In  p.  39  we  find  mentioned  tlie  name 
of  an  uld  paloler,  who  adnrncd  the 
pancU  of  the  ceiling  of  the  cbupel  with 
the  heads  of  the  genealogy  of  Christ, 
springing  from  the  root  of  Jesse,  in 
fifty>four  compartments.  It  is  given 
"Magister  Lace.^  Egllcmcnt,  Pictor 
WDXii."  But  we  suspect  there  may 
be  some  trifling  error.  Can  llie  artist 
he  the  same  with  Louia  Cornelii,  son 
of  Cnrneliua  Kngelbert,  who,  as  no- 
ticed by  Walpole  in  his  Anecdotes  of  1 
Painting,  came  to  England  and  was 
made  painttr  to  Henry  the  Eighth? 
The  date  appears  full  early  for  him  ; 
but  in  that  also  there  may  be  lorae 
mistake. 

We  have  not  time  to  accompanv  Mr. 
Jefferson  to  Lanercost  abbey,  though 
he  appears  to  have  described  the  ruins

THE  good   worthy   roan   (whether 
very  old  or  very  young  we  know  not) 
who  has  been  at  the  paina  of  forroinft 
this  compilation*  appears  to  be  one  of 
those  harmless  anliqaariei  who  may 
be    allowed     to    ride    their    hobbiea 
without    much   inconvenience    to  the 
comiDunity,    but    who  unfortunately 
are  not  liliely  to  raise  the  reputation 
of  the  craO  among  scholars  or  men  of 
actenceand  penetralion.    Mr.  Lind»ay 
haa  here  strung  together  about  a  hun- 
dred  instances  in  which  the  name  of 
Soulhw&rk  occurs,  in  various  ancient 
document«  j  and  tlic  rr&ult  ia,  he  says, 
that  "  it  will  be  aeen  how  icmarkablv 
the  original  name  has  been  preserved 
throughout."     By  "  remarkably,"  it 
must  be  supposed  he  means  more  than 
ia  usually  the  case.     But   is  that  the 
fact?      On    the    contrary,     had     lie 
im)uire<I    into    the    names    of   other 
places,    brsidea    his  own  dear  "  Bo- 
rough," if,  for  instance,  he  had  looked 
into  the  index  of  Domesday  Book,  he 
would    liare   found  that    the  general 
rule  is,  that  the  ancient  names  of  our 
Saxon  villarc  do  remain,  with  slightly 
H       varying    orlhogruphy,    down    to    lie 
^^1      |»resent  day,  and  it  is  only  in  the  ex- 
^^"^      ceptions  that  anytluug  "  remarkable" 
W  occurs.     The  compilei  calls  his  bead-

evidently  arisen  from  the  errors  of 
transcribers  or  printers,  and  in  ^ome

stance which  has  naturally  resulted 
from  the  name  being  of  EUiglish  deri- 
vation, and  always  well  enough  under- 
stood. 

That  the  references  here  collected 
would,  to  a  certain  exteot,  suggest 
some  of  the  materials  of  a  history  of 
Southwark,  we  are  very  willing  to  ad- 
mit ;  and  had  they  been  published  with 
DO  other  pretensions  but  to  facilitate 
that  object,  and  arranged  into  proper 
heails  for  the  purpose,  it  would  liavt; 
been  ungrateful  not  to  have  thanked 
Mr.  Lindsay  on  the  part  of  the  public* 

It  may.  however,  be  too  much  to 
expect  that  our  antiquar)'  should  ever 
proceed  to  develope  the  history  of 
Southwark  in  a  sensible  and  useful 
manner;  but  when  he  has  fully  satis- 
fied himself  (should  that  coDFumma- 
lion  ever  arrive)  on  this  eternal  "ety- 
fuulogy"  of  Southwark,  (already,  be 
it  observed,  produced  in  a  "  third  edi- 
tion,") we  hope  he  will  duly  proceed 
to  investigate  that  of  "  the  llorough," 
its  name  "  by  way  of  pre-eminence  in 
the  18th  and  19th  centuries"  (p.  73)  ; 
and  then  pcrliaps  he  will  be  able  to 
answer  his  own  questioa  (p.  16) 
"  Does  not  the  Saxon  appellation

— ^A  very  pleasing  subject  for  a  female 
pen !  The  memoir  obtained  the  honorary 
preminm  awarded  by  the  Directors  of  the 
Gresham  Commemoration,  18.10 ;  and 
very  deservedly;  for  it  is  written  with 
care,  research,  and  ability :  the  factit 
connected  with  the  history 'of  that  illus- 
trioos  person  recorded  in  this  volume, 
•re  given  from  authentic  sources,  printed 
and  MS. ;  and  some  errors  that  have 
passed  current  are  detected.  In  the  bio-^ 
graphy  of  Margaret,  Miss  Halsted  ahto 
has  interwoven  a  history  of  Uie  times  in 
which  she  lived,  and  thereby  giveu  a 
doable  interest  to  her  work,  which  we 
^nk  worthy  to  be  placed  beside  that  of 
Miss  Aikin  (and  that  is  no  slight  praise), 
and  is  far  superior  to  some  of  the  late  his-

elaborate  and  scientific  work,  it  would  be 
difficult  in  any  reasonable  compass  to  give 
■a  abridged  account :  and  it  is  not  suited 
for  extracts.  It  embraceii  an  account  of 
the  physical  features  of  the  counties  men- 
tioned J  of  their  gcologicsl  formation — of 
their  minerals — of  the  effect  of  the  sea 
And  atmospheric  itifinenccs  on  the  coasit ; 
and  has  a  very  interesting  'and  important 
chapter  on  economic  geology.  This  is 
■ccompanied  by  some  interesting  appen- 
Aces  and  plans  of  mines.  A  great  extent 
of  knowledge  must  have  been  required  for 
the  formation  of  this  work  ;  great  labour  of 


inquiry,  accompanied  with  very  accurate 
details ;  and  we  consider  it  as  reflectinr 
high  credit  to  the  author.  1 1  is  published

other  naturalists.  The  work  is,  like  the 
one  to  which  it  is  supplemental,  beanti- 
fully  got  up  ;  the  plates  of  the  fishes  are 
cle^nt  and  accurate,  and  the  vignettes 
very  pleasing  and  interesting  in  character. 
Some  very  curious  information  will  be 
found  under  the  article  salmon  and  trout.

ceeding Mr.  Yarrell's  in  fulness  of  in-

cilia  Chapman. — A  most  interesting  abd 
well-written  little  book,  containing  an 
account  of  the  efforts  made  by  some 
English  ladies  to  fomi  a  system  of  Erflu- 
cation  for  the  Hindoo  girls.  How  much  it 
Was  needed,  these  pages  too  well  declare  : 
the  account  of  the  custom  of  aacrifieing 
female  children,  is  told  in  most  appalling 
language  at  p.  V2.  Very  recently, 
twenty  girls  in  one  boat  on  the  Hoogly, 
destined  for  incarceration  in  a  MusaiU- 
man'it  house,  have  been  placed  in  liberty  ; 
and  in  the  district  bordering  on  the  Goom- 
sar  territory,  a  number  of  victims  of  both 
sexes,  held  in  bondage  till  the  fit  time  of 
sacrifice,  were  delivered.  It  is  the  pur- 
port of  this  inhuman  rite  to  propitiate  their 
deities.  Wc  earnestly  beg  our  readers  to 
procure  this  volume,  for  which  we  lament 
that  want  of  space  and  time  precludes 
our  making  the  copious  extracts  we  conld 
widh.  The  name  of  Mrs.  Wilson,  andfaer 
devotion  to  her  arduous  undertaking,  will 
be  remembered  in  India  with  blessings  by 
thousands  whom  her  efforts  have  saved 
from  ignorance,  and  vice,  and  ruin. 

A  Sketch  of  native  F.ducation  in  India, 
under  the  Superintendence  of  the  Church 
of  Scotland.  By  James  Bryce,  D.D. — 
This  is  a  work  of  a  more  extended  and 
elaborate  kind  than  the  preceding,  em- 
bracing very  philosophical  views  of  the 
general  subject  of  the  Hindoo  religion,  its 
effects  on  character  and  society,  its  modi- 
fications by  circumstances  anil  situation, 
and  the  prorijKct  of  the  Micressful  intro- 
duction of  CliristtRuity  into  the  benighted 
country,  which  has  with  its  idolatry  been 
so  long  cursed  ^ith  all  the  crimes  and  mi- 
sery that  are  its  wretched  companions. 
Dr.  Bryce's  book  is  written  with  a  very

the  presenttalewiU  afford  gntificstion ;  bat 
we  think  the  author  did  wrong  in  throwing 
back  bis  bistory  into  ancient  times, 
as  it  does  not  afford  bim  those  materials 
firom  which  he  can  gratify  the  cariosity  of 
his  readers,  and  has  atendencyto lead  him 
to  fill  np  ancient  costome  with  modem 
sentinientB  and  manners.  Is  be  aware 
that  he  has  quoted  some  lines  at  the  head 
of  one  of  bis  chapters,  which  be  has  given 
rightly  to  Lord  Byron  ;  and  the  very  same 
lines  in  a  following  chapter,  to  which  he 
has  affixed  the  honoured  name  of  M'ords- 
worth? 

Mk.  Cbables  James  Richabdson 
has  pabliahed  in  a  separate  form  his  J>e- 
icriptioH  ^f  tKe  warming  and  ventilating 
Apparatut  at  the  Betidenceof  Ckarlet  Sab' 
tage,  E»q.  extracted  from  the  second 
edition  of  his  Treatise  on  the  wanning  and 
Ventilation  of  Buildings,  which  has  been 
prerionsly  reviewed  in  our  pages. 

The  antbor  speaks  of  this  apparatus  is 
the  most  important  of  any  of  which  be 
had  yet  given  an  account — "  It  has  been 
made  (he  says),  by  skilful  mechanical  con- 
trivances,  to  produce  some  of  those  con- 
veniences and  luxuries  wbicb  I  hope  to 
see  mndi  more  generally  applied  than  they 
'are  at  present  in  the  dwellings  of  this 
country." 

From  the  well-known  character  and  ta- 
lents of  Mr.  Babbage,  there  can  be  no 
question  that  it  has  been  constructed 
with  great  care,  and  that  every  improve- 
ment which  the  subject  is  capable  of 
receiving,  has  been  made  use  of;  on 
this  ground  we  consider  it  is  highly  de- 
serving of  the  attention,  not  only  of  the 
members  of  the  architectnrsl  profession, 
but  of  every  one  who  wishes  his  residence 
to  be  faroished  with  those  comforts  which 
the  author  desires  to  see  more  generally 
introduced.  The  essay  is  illustrated  by 
diagrams  and  plans,  and  is  therefore  easy 
of  execution,  and  we  presume  the  appa- 
ratus is  not  secured  by  patent.

in  prose  and  verse,  written  in  this  coun-

days  of  the  Anglo-Saxons  down  to  the

much  in  it  that  will  be  useful  to  the  illus- 
tration  of  ancient  manners,  prejndices, 
and  superstitions.  From  a  series  of  me< 
dical  receipts  of  the  fourteenth  century, 
all  of  them  as  extraordinary  as  any  we 
ever  read,  we  take  the  following  spe- 
cimen : — 

"  For  hym  that  haves  the  squynansy  :

clene  and  draw  out  the  guttes,  and  tak

The  following  description  of  a  child's 
hornbook,  in  the  same  century,  deserves 
to  be  enshrined  in  the  pages  of  an  Ames 
or  a  De  Bure  :

the  MTi,  Oovi^  we  preinme,  from  tpu-

Potmt  i»  rent,  ckiefty  rtlating  to 
Souihirm  Africa.  l2mo.— We  must  re- 
quest thii  author  to  be  a  litle  more  st- 
tentireto  his  rhymes;  for  the  folloving 
wonU  do: 

'<  Mediinks  a  stronger  contrast  seen 
TiMre  acarce  can  be,  than  this — between 

A  boy,  himself  so  blithb, 
And  that  he  'neath  his  arm  doth  bear, 
As  tiio*  alog  of  wood  it  were, 

80  destitate  of  Lirs." 

And  then  we  majr  attend  more  closely 
to  his  Poetry.  As  it  is,  we  must  be  cou< 
t«nt  to  fire  the  following  specimen  of  bis 

StjU: 

"  And  then  there  were  all  strewo  around 

Hie  seeds  which  foil  from  the  fir-cone, 
And  these  as  often  as  I  found 

I'd  crush  them  all  beneath  a  stone, 
The  kemds  I  so  lore  to  eat, 
Which  tuted  e'en  u  almonds  sweet. 
The  squirrel  sly  these  seeds  let  fall 

As  he  from  tree  to  tree  did  skip  : 
^tmMiif  he  could  not  eat  them  all, 

So,  ever  and  anoOt  let  slip 
A  few,  that  I  as  well  as  he 
"With  snch  sweet  fare  might  feasted  be." 


Bt§a^9  on  Government.  1839.— These 
Essays  are  intended  to  advocate  the  popu- 
tar  or  radteal  cause :  a  cause  which  the 
writer  considers  to  have  grown  naturally 
owt  of  Uie  present  constitution  of  society, 
the  increase  of  knowledge,  and  the  grow- 
ing erils  of  a  partial  legislation.  Know- 
lewe,  not  property,  he  considers  to  be  the 
qnuttcation  for  the  possession  of  political 
privileges  and  power.  Hereditary  sue- 
cession  to  the  crown,  and  hereditary  aris- 
toeracy,  he  considers  to  be  absurd  and 
oinolete  laws,  which  cannot  bear  the  test 
of  reasoning,  under  a  system  which  "  on- 


deifies  kings,  rednees  all  men  to  an 
equality,  and  knom  no  rank  bnt  that  of 
rul  merit." 

Friendthip  trith  God  ilhtitrated  in  the 
Life  of  Abraham.  By  Rev.  R.  P.  Bmddi- 
com,  M.A.  9  vols.— To  attach  the  inculca- 
tion of  the  duties  of  religion  to  the  his- 
tory of  some  one  of  the  venerable  pa- 
triarchs or  saints  of  God ;  to  illustrate 
those  troths  by  example,  to  enforce  them 
by  authority,  to  make  them  as  it  were 
doubly  interesting  by  narrative  and  story, 
— is  very  desirable,  especially  when  the 
discourse  of  the  preacher  is  Intended  tor 
persons  uf  only  common  education,  whose 
attention  is  not  easily  detained,  and 
whose  reasoning  and  imaginative  powers 
of  mind  are  slow  in  their  conceptions. 
Such  reasons  have  acted  on  the  mind 
of  Mr.  Buddicom  when  he  fixed  the  plan 
of  the  present  very  judicious  and  sound 
Discourses.  To  this  must  be  added  the 
reasons  which  made  him  particularly  se- 
lect the  History  of  Abraham.  ••  The  pre- 
sent day,  (he  says),  in  which  an  imscrip- 
tnral  and  uubelieTing  expediency  so  aw- 
fully usurps  the  place  of  divine  authority, 
and  enwraps  men  in  selfishness,,  as  it  ex- 
tends its  sway  over  their  hearts,  seems 
pre-eminently  to  demand  the  inculcation 
of  that  simple  and  confiding  fsiUt,  which 
rests  implicitly  on  the  troth  of  Jehovah  : 
acknowledge  his  absolute  sovereignty  over 
the  affairs  of  men,  and  there  needs  no  other 
motive  of  action  than  the  declaration, 
'Thus  saith  the  Lord  !*  That  faith,  purify- 
ing the  heart,  working  by  love,  and  over- 
coming the  world,  is  oeautifully  exempli- 
fied in  the  history  of  Abraham."  We 
think  Mr.  B.  has  been  successful  in  exe- 
cuting the  purpose  he  designed;  his  dis- 
courses appear  to  have  been  written  with 
great  care  and  attention  ;  be  has  consult- 
ed and  quoted  on  important  occasions  the 
best  authorities  in  theology,  and  his  own 
reasoning  is  expressed  with  great  clear- 
ness and  propriety  of  language.  We  like 
the  tone  of  feeling,  and  the  piety  which 
warms  and  animates  the  book.

upon  the  suggestions  of  Mr.  Barry, 
the  Architect  of  the  new  lioUK4  of  Par-

Stone  in  vnriouif  parts  of  the  kingdom,  in 
order  to  select  diit  which  should  best 
ennire  perpetoity  to  thin  grand  national 
fabric.  This  CommiuJoo,  coosiftiog  of 
Mestra.  Barry,  DetaUecbe,  Dr.  W.  Smith, 
and  Mr.  C.  H.  Smith,  riuted  IO.S  quarries,

tests  both  mechanical  atid  chemical  by 
Professors  Daniell  and  Wbeatilonr.  Tlic 
following  are  extracts  from  their  Report. 

"  Buildings  in  this  climate  arc  generally 
found  to  Bnffrr  the  greatest  amount  of  de- 
coiuposition  on  ihi-ir  »nuthcrD,  iouth- 
westcro,  and  western  fronti,  arising, 
duubtle«s,  from  the  prevalence  of  winds 
and  raini  from  those  quarters;  beace  It 
int  desirable  that  fltonr4  uf  great  durability 
should  at  least  be  employed  ia  fronts  with 
such  as|tecLs.  Buildings  situated  in  the 
country  appear  to  possess  a  great  odvan* 
lagc  over  those  in  populous  and  imoky 
towns,  owiag  to  lichens,  with  whiob  ther 
aimott  invariably  become  covered  in  such 
situatioas,  and  which,  when  firmlj  cs« 
tsbUshed  over  their  rjitirc  surface,  seem 
to  exctvisc  a  protective  Infloence  sgiunst

Rome  works  for  improTing  the  channel 
of  the  Scheldt,  have  occaaioncd  several  ex» 
teuiive  cuttings  across  the  old  llomaa 
cBUsewny,  called  Iji  Cbaassi  de  JJrime- 
haut.  wliich  connects  in  a  straight  line 
the  towns  of  Bavuy  ondToumay.  These 
cuttings  took  phice  on  the  spot  described 
intht-  Itinerary  of  .\ntoninoa  as  the  Puns 
ScsUiis.  In  the  course  of  the  works, 
there  have  been  discovered  on  variona 
points  remains  of  constnirliont,  and  large 
quantities  of  materiaU  which  indicate  the 
rite  of  a  town  or  large  village  ;  nnd  it  ap. 
pears  that  in  this  locality  several  bridge* 
bod  been  thrown  over  the  Scheldt.  This 
discoTcry  shows  that  the  point  given  by 
antiquaries  as  Pons  ScaJdis  wns  not 
merely  a  bridge  over  the  Scheldt,  but  a 
Komao  statjoa  which  was  probably  for*

The  expedition  for  ihe  restiinition  of  the 
Shah  tioojah-ool-Muolk  to  the  throne  of 
Candabar  Las  been  entirely  fucceuful. 
The  army  sulTercd  t,T»;«tly  during  the 
march  for  want  uf  food,  and  from  the  at* 
tacks  of  Delochveit  and  other  biwlcs^ 
tribes ;  and  had  the  Sirdars  not  lied  at 
tbc  first  appeanuire  of  our  troups,  it  may 
be  questioned  whether  the  victory  would 
not  have  owt  im  more  than  it  is  really 
worth.  An  idea  of  the  toi  I  and  misery  en- 
dured by  the  troop«  may  bt^  toruu-d  ironx 
the  ha,  that  out  of  COOU  nntire  troops, 
cotopfieing  the  division  of  the  ^^bah,  only 
1500  rwehed  Candabar.  all  the  rest  hav. 
ifig  perished  on  ibc  way.  The  loss  of 
British  troops  was,  however,  compara- 
tively  txifling,  though  their  sufferings  were 
very  severe.  Sinoe  the  coronation  of  the 
Shah,  be  bat  «(perienced  no  opposition 
from  the  Sirdars;  and  on  the  I5tb  of 
June,  the  dale  of  thr  tatmit  arHvali  in 
Bengal,  the  RritUh  army  was  preparing 
to  return.

undertaken  and  completed  ut  the  cost  of 
tbe  MarqueM  of  llute,  Mere  opened  with 
great  csremony.  A  proccd^iun  was  formed 
upwards  of  a  mile  in  icn^lh,  whirh  pru- 
emed  from  the  castle  to  escort  the  noble 
Marquess  to  the  docks,  the  gHtc<i  of 
wbioh  were  opened  at  high  water,  acnid 
tb*  joyous  shoiiiti  of  about  14,001)  spec- 
tators, when  lite  Lady  Charlotte ntcauier, 
Capt.  H.  T.  Parfit,  entered  tbe  luck, 
towing  in  the  •achooner  Celerity,  of 
Curdin.  tbt.-  temporary  batterie*  on  each 
side  lirititf  Milules;  tht  Sainpiian  steitmer 
followed  with  the  fine  ship  iVIoiiliuH, 
with  l,l-U)tona  of  timber  from  Vueber, 
and  which  fortuitously  retched  the  dock 
gate*  almost  at  the  mument  of  their 
opening,  and  entered  tbe  di>ck  without 
casting  anchor  from  the  time  of  her 
l«»viiig  Quebec.  As  early  oh  the  jrar 
I8^U,  the  Marque«s  of  Bute  perceived 
the  neccMtty  of  impro\ing  the  |»oft ;  and 
about  tlie  name  time  the  Glamorganshire 
Canal  Company  wished  to  tjike  gioutid 
near  their  lock  at  Ctirditf  for  widening 
and  deepening  tbcir  (.^unnl.  Thi5  thry 
could  not  do  without  the  consrnt  of  Lord 
Bute,  who  wa»  willing,  if  the  Company 
would  improve  tbe  port  to  the  exteiii  of 
ita  capahililies.  to  give  them  any  hind  re* 
quired.  The  Canal  Cooipany  were  «ill. 
ing  to  make  improvement*  to  a  certain

contemplated  by  hi*  l^rdhhip.  The  ne-

gotiation    therefore  broke  olT,  and   from 
that  time    Lord  Bute  formed  tbe  grand 
design  which  haa  now  been  executed.    In 
tbe  walls  of  Parliument  he  met  thut  bos- 
lilily  which  is  often   there   raised  to  pri- 
vate bills;  but.  such  (vas  the  aoundnenaof 
bis  plan,  thai  in  ISJ)  he  obtnined    the 
bill  for  forming   the  Bute   Ship    (janal. 
His  Lordship  then  estimated  the  entire 
expense  of  tno  undertiiking  at  j^MKfO  ; 
it  hHs,   we  are   infornicd,   npiiriy  trebled 
that   sum.       On   pusfiing  the   ocn  gatci, 
vctacis  enter  tbo  outer  basin,  in  areaaboul 
I  \  acre,  for  shipi  ot  great  burthen  and 
sleatnera.   Tbe  main  enimnce  ol  the  locks, 
at  the  north  end  of  the  outer  ba-tin,  is  1A2 
feet  long  and  dU  wide,  sufKcient  for  ad- 
mission  of  ahipa  of  (JUU   tons   burthen. 
The  inner  basin,  which  is  the  )>rinci)>al 
feature  of  tbia  work,   extends  from  tb« 
lock  to  tbo  town  of  CardilT  ]4aO  yards, 
possessing  an  area  of  nearly  ^  acres  of 
water,  and  (upiible  of  accommodating  300 
to  400  ships  of  all   classes.      In  depth  it 
is  17  feet  at  neap  tides,  and  3S  at  Kprings. 
Qway  walls  are  built  un  each  side  of  tbe 
basin   tor   more    Lbnn   two<  thirds  of  its 
length,   finiithed    with  a  strong    granite 
roping,  and  comprising  in  all  nearly  6000 
feer,   or    more  tnan  a  mile  nf  wharfaget  * 
with    ample    act:ommodation    for    ware- 
houses, exclusive  of  tbe  wharfage  of  tbe 
outer  basin.     For  the  purpose  of  keeping  J 
the  entrance  of  the  cbarmel  free  and  deep*  j 
M  water  course  or  feeder  haa  been  formea  J 
from  the  river  TofT  leading  to  a  reservoif  ' 
l.j  acres  in  extent  adjacent  to  the  basin. 
This  reservoir  can  be  discharged  every  , 
low  wucer  by  menus  of  a  sluicing  appanu 
tus  of  cast-iron  pipes  Ave  feet  in  diameter,  : 
and  ten  aluiccs  at  the  sea  gates,  so  as  to 
deliver  at   the  rate  of    100,000  tuns  ot\ 
water.      The  feeder  was  commenced  at  I 
the  close  of  ]t^t4  ;    (be  dock  two  yeara  '.

Obitviry. — The  Earl  of  Lauderdale,  K,T,

noted ;  but,  at  the  general  election,  1700, 
he  ^vas  chosen  one  of  the  sixteen  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Scotish  Peerage,  and 
fo1Io\red  the  same  line  of  conduct  in  the 
House  of  Lords,  taking  a  frequent  share 
in  the  debates. 

The  state  of  bis  Lordship's  health  ren- 
dering a  few  months'  residence  in  a  mild 
climate  expedient,  he  left  England  in 
August  1792,  accompanied  by  Dr.  Moore, 
who  published  a  *'  Journal  during  a  Resi- 
dence in  France  from  the  beginning  of 
August  to  the  middle  of  December  1792." 
From  this  journal,  it  appears  that  his 
Lordship  arrived  in  Paris  7th  August,  at 
a  most  critical  period,  the  attack  on  the 
ThuiUeries,  and  the  imprisonment  of  the 
royal  family,  taking  place  three  days 
afterwards.  The  entrance  of  the  com- 
Maed  armies  into  France,  the  departure 
of  Eari  Oower,  the  British  Ambassador, 
from  Paris,  and  the  massacres  of  2nd 
September,  rendering  it  imsafc  to  remain, 
his  Lordship  quitted  Paris  4th  Sc{>t.  and 
proceeded  to  Calais.  The  situation  of 
affiUra  becoming  more  quiet,  he  returned 
to  Paris  in  October ;  but,  not  deeming 
it  prudent  to  proceed,  ho  left  that  capital, 
5ia  December,  and  landed  in  Britain  on 
the  14th  of  that  month. 

His  Lordship,  in  179l<,  published  his 
"  Letters  to  the  Peers  of  Scotland  ; " 
and  ^id  June  1796b  moved  an  address  to 
the  King  for  peace»  which  was  negatived 
by  the  House  of  Lords.  The  same  year 
he  warmly  exerted  himself  in  opposition 
to  the  Habeaa  Corpus  Suspension  Act, 
the  Sedition  Bills,  and  other  measures  of 
adoainistimtion.  His  Lordship  published 
in  1796,  the  *'  Substance  of  a  Speech  in 
the  House  of  Peers  on  the  National  Fi- 
nances t"  in  1797,  **  Thoughts  on  Fi- 
nance, suggested  by  the  Measures  of  the 
prcaent  Session;"  in  1798,  "  Letter  on 
the  preaent  Measures  of  Finance,  in 
wbicn  the  Bill  now  pending  in  Parlia- 
ment (for  tripling  the  Assessed  TaxesJ, 
is  particululy  considered;"  in  ISOI*,  his 
elaoonte  work,  **  An  Enquiry  into  the 
'Katore  and  Origin  of  Public  Wculth,  and 
into  tiie  Mmna  and  Causes  of  its  In- 
crease," (3nd  edit.  1818) ;  and  in  the 
same  yev,  *'  Obaervations  on  the  lie- 
view  of  his  Enquiry  into  the  Nature  and 
Origin  of  Public  Wealth,  published  in 
tbe  eighth  number  of  the  Edinburgh  Re- 
view;" and  in  1803^  "  Thoughts  on  the 
alarming  Slate  of  the  Circulation,  and  the 
mcuia  of  redressing  pecuniary  Grievances 
in  Irduid ;"  and,  '*  Hints  to  the  Manu- 
facturers of  Great  Britain  on  the  conse- 
qntnces  of  the  Irish  Union,  and  the  Sys- 
tem since  pursued,  of  borrowing  in  Eng- 
land for  toe  service  of  IrcUnd." 

Od  the  dissolution  of  the  Pitt  admi- 


nistration, 1806>  the  Earl  of  Lauderdale 
was  created  a  peer  of  the  United  King- 
dom of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  15th 
Febniary  1806,  by  the  title  of  Baron 
l^uderdale,  of  Tnirlcstane  Castle,  in 
the  county  of  Benvick,  was  sworn  a 
Privy  Councillor,  and  had  the  Great 
Seal  of  Scotland  delivered  to  him^lst 
July,  IrtOC.  His  Ixjrdship  set  off  foe 
Paris  on  the  inA  of  August  following', 
invested  with  full  powers  to  conclude 
peace,  the  negotiations  for  which  had 
been  for  several  weeks  carried  on  by  tbe 
Earl  of  Yarmouth,  arrived  there  on  the 
5th,  and  joined  that  nobleman  in  the  ar- 
duous task  of  treating  with  Bonaparte 
and  Talleyrand.  Generals  Clarke  and 
Cliani()agny  were  directed  to  carry  on  the 
business  with  the  British  negotiators  ; 
the  Earl  of  Yarmouth  was  recalled  14-th 
of  August,  when  the  whole  devolved  on 
the  Earl  of  Lauderdale.  The  war  be- 
tween France  and  Prussia  breaking  out 
in  September,  Bonaparte  set  off  that 
month  for  Germany ;  and  the  Earl  of 
Lauderdale  quitted  Paris  9th  October, 
and  arri\'ed  in  London  on  the  13th  of 
that  month.  Of  the  progress  and  termi- 
nation of  the  negotiations,  a  clear  state- 
ment appeared  in  the  London  Gazette  of 
2Ist  Oct,  1806,  to  which  reference  may  be 
made.  On  the  change  of  administration, 
the  Duke  of  (iordon  was  re-nppointed 
Keeper  of  the  (Jrcnt  Seal  of  Scotland, 
llth  April  IH07.  The  Kari  of  Limder- 
date  now  having  an  hereditary  sent  in  the 
House  of  Lords,  exerted  himself  actively 
in  Parliament,  and  published  in  1809, 
"  An  Inquiry  into  the  Practical  Merits 
ot  the  Present  System  for  the  Govern- 
ment of  India  imder  the  superintend- 
ence of  the  Board  of  Control ; "  "  Fur- 
thcr  Consideration  of  the  State  of  the 
Currency;  in  which  the  means  of  re- 
storing our  Circulation  to  a  salutary  state 
are  fully  explained,  and  the  injuries  sus- 
tained by  the  Public  Treasury,  as  well  as 
by  the  National  Creditor,  from  our  Pre- 
sent Pecuniary  System,  are  minutely  de- 
tailed, 1812.  181'^;"  "  Letter  on  the 
(^rn  Laws,  1814." 

The  t>&"iphlcts  fVom  his  lordship's 
pen  had  considerable  weight  attached  to 
them  at  the  time  that  hutuon  and  other 
questions  occupied  the  public  attention. 
In  politics,  Lord  Lauderdale's  opinions 
were,  for  that  period,  considered  to  be 
extreme;  and  his  appearance  in  the  House 
of  Lords  in  the  rough  costume  of  Jaco- 
binism made  quite  a  sensation  when  the 
principles  of  the  French  Revolution  were 
in  vogue  with  the  democratic  party  in  this 
country.  His  lordship  possessed  much 
influence  in  many  ways,  and  was  often 
consulted  on  important  occasions.

iiistmf  of  the  Great  Reformation  of  the  Si^eenth  Century » in  Gertnany,  *c. 
By  J.  H.  M.  D'Aubigni".  1838.  Svo.     WaWier. 

WE   could   have  wished  that  a  history  of  the  "Great  Kefonnation," 
worthy  of  its  subject,  nnd  which  has  l>een  so  loug  a  desideratum  in  litcra* 
tare,  had  been  written  in  our   language,  and   reserved  for   some  writer 
of  our  own.     In  either  of  the  L'nivTrsities,  and  [Hiriicalarly  now  in  onc^  are 
to  bft  found  those  who  cnidd  have  entered  ou  tUcir  iiniiortniit  task,  after 
A  long  and  fnlniliar  ac(]uaintaucc  with  ita  general  principlett.  its  cniises,  and 
its  rcftulta  ;  who  cuutd  have  brought  to  the  iurestigatjon  of  it,  n  depth  and 
variety  of  learning,  secular  and  divine,  a  comprehension  of  reasoning,  a 
temperance  of  judgment,  an  imjiartiality  of  decisiou,  a  purity  and  elevation 
of  mind,  and  a  tenderness  and  delicacy  of  feeling; — all  rei|uisite  fur  the 
successful  aecompltshuient  of  so  great  a  work.  It  is  a  work  not  to  be  receired 
from  every  iiand — ovrt  xrl^n;,  oi/rc  irfipn  Tt'irTHtv  :   but  the  leisure  which  is 
necessary  for  such  tasks,  the  absence  of  all  dJKturbing  calls  of  imme<liate 
pressure,  the  calm  unbroken  tranquillity  which  is  recjuired  for  the  com- 
position of  works  of  original  thought  and  laborious  compilation,  are  unfor- 
natcly  in  our  days,  even  in  those  x-er)-  seats  which  have  l»een  considered 
I  the  home  of  tlic  Muses,  and  tlie  sanctuary*  of  the  thnnghtful  and  studious 
^scholar,  either  denied,  or  in  the  most  favourable  cases  t04>  much  abridged. 
Only     a  few    years   luivc    passed,   since    wc     >vcre    informed    by   one 
of  the   brightest  oniamenls  of  an    Uni«rsity,*  whose  illustriouh    nimie 
he    sheltered   from  unjust  rrpra'u'h,  when  )ie  wtui  rebuking  a  thoughtless 
sneer  whicli  Imrl  \k-cu  directed  against  the  Kvtrning  anfl  industry  of  it« 
members  ;  that  so  mnch  had  the  stntc  of  tirtiig<«  lK>cn  altered,  and  so  urgent 
and  so  uunicrons  were  tlie  demands  of  society  uiwn  the  eollegt;tte  system, 
thfttthe  Universities  could  barely  retain  within  themselves,   members  sulfi- 
cicnt  to  perform  the  necessary  duties  of  instmction,  and  u%  fill  tlic  chuiH 
of  learning  and  science.     Since  thnt  time,  not  only  have  the  same  caus«M 
COBtinuMl  more  ar^otly  to  act,  but  others  also    have   arisen.  pro<)iictiv#1 
of    the    same   effects ;      and    which    render    !t    ini[>cnitive     on     thoMi 
learned  bodies,  not  oidy  tu  meet  hostile  attm  k?.  but   to  repress  intcroatj 
diriaions  ;  to  defend  themselves  against    unjust     accusations,  to   refutti 
ii^nrknis  doctrines,  and  to  advocate  and  adianre  neglecK'd  and  furgottott]

from  the  restored  liberty   of  eonscicuee,  and  the  nnidtemble  rights  that-j 
Nature  has  bestowed  on  the  human  mind.     It  will  shew  in  this  tremeudouii

hansted  even  to  the  utmost  limits  of  his  strength  ;  and  it  will  keep  itself  cv«

hand  was  directing  the  eflforts  and  guiding  the  counsels  of  his  creatures,  ac* 
cording  to  his  own  mysterious  will ;  acting  against  all  advantage,  succcssfu] 
against  all  probability,  making  simplicity  confound  the  wise,  and  giving  to 
the  weak  the  fetters  that  arc  to  bind  the  strong.     What  a  picture  is  that 
which  places  in  contrast  with  cacli  other,  the  proud  lialls  of  tliu  Vatican, 
and  the  cottage  uf  the  poor  miner  in  l^huringia ;  which  shews  on  one  side, 
the  Aorid  beauty  and  marble  splendour  of  n,  Temple  that  exhausted  the

rafters  of  the  little  chapel  that  stood  in  rulus  in  the  square  of  Wltteaberi;. 
Where    we   sec    here  arranged    all    the    temporal    and  spiritual  power  of 
the  church  triumphant  npon  earth  :  its  assembled  irontiffs,  and  cardinals, 
aud  legates — its   archbishops    and  abbots — its  subject  or  allied  princes 
and  potentates.,  its  learned  doctors,  its   monastic  dignitaries — its  weapons 
of  carnal  power,  its  bulls,  its  decrc^tals,  its  indulgences,  its  fulmioations  of

]K>ntl  treasures — its  still  more  extended  spiritual  itossessiuus — its   hoary 
and   venerable   age — ita  revered   and  consecrated  name :     there  nothing 
but    what    waD    |ioor,    forgotten,  and  despised — tlie  peasant's  cottage — 
ihc  scholar'fi   garret — the  luonastie  cell,     vSuch  is  the  sut^gect   and  such 
the  materials  of  the   history  which  wc  are  now  observing.     We  shall  be 
much  indebted  to  the  work  itself  for  the  shght  outline  of  it,  which   we 
attempt  to  give. 

The  history  of  the  |)ower,  and  conse{iaLMitly  of  the  corruptions,  ot  the 
Church,  should  ■commence  from  the  succession  of  Charlemagne  and  the 
decretals  of  Isidoiub,  l»ecanse  it  tiould  evince  that  it^aulhority  was  founded

the  cenbacy  of  the  doijry  *  was  necessary  to  his  purposes.    1'hosc  nbo  ha 
wives   were  often  insulted  by  the  populace,  derided,  stricken,  and  cvrt 
alain.     Then  followed  the  next  master  stroke  uf  policy,  the  cxcomiutinica- 
tion  from  every  christian  rile :  every  "church-goiug  bell  "  was  mule,  ever 
church-door  was  closed,  every  sacramental  rite  forbiddeu,  and,  followiagthl 
eriminal  from  life  to  death,  from  ihi!!  world  to  the  next,  the  dreaded  nudraic 
tjon  extended  to  the  prrare.  What  mnnot  wmldly  ambition  and  false  and  m*

ofthe  dyinicpimtifl'wcre,  **Dile\t  justittam.  ctodivi  iniquitntem  ;  propter eal

— the  laity  the  slaves.  Such  was  the  principle  and  spirit  i)f  the  church.  (■] 
Lather's  time,  there  was  still  to  he  seen  nt  Erfurt,  a  picture  in  wliich  thej 
riiurch  u-ns  represented  as  n  ship  sailing  to  heaven  ;  on  board  of  it  w«tt] 
neither  bymen,   nor  prince,    nor  kini; ;  but  in  front  the  Pope  and  hi 
cardinals,  nith    the  Holy  Spirit  o\-er  them,  and  on  eadi  side  priests  i 
monks.     While  the  clergy  were  thus  securely  and  pleasantly  sailing  «1 
tonnrds  Paradise,  the  l&it\  were  represented  struggUni^  in  thf    Mater,  ondj 
swimming  towards  the  >-eS9el  ;  some   sinkin;;,  and   some   calcliing  at  tku] 
ropes  that  the  fathers  threw  out  to  save  tlieni.     In  this  way,  salration  was  I 
openly  ilecbred  to  be  in  the  power  nf  litem  (>>  bcstaw  or  to  withhold  :  and  | 
"  salvation,  (sap  oirr  anthor.'t  cnnsidered  ns  derived  from  any  power  in  i

— "  the  evil  was  at  its  bciglit,  and  tlit-n  tho  Kcfurnicr  arose."  'J'he  theology 
nf  the  church  consisted,  as  is  urll  knuivn,  thicHy  in  the  captious  subtlety 
of  dialectics,  Luther's   hatred  of  which  is  seen  in  every  pag^c  of  his  works 
Peter  de  Ijoinbard,  Abclard,  :uid  'I'hniuas  Aquinas  were  read  instead  of  St. 
John  aad  St.  Paul.     Grace   vnu  distinguished  into  fornmtiv(>  and  refor- 
mative ^  into  gmtia  gratis  data,  and  gratia  gratum  faciens.    When  Peter  de

children,  ho  answered  thns. — "  the  rich  man's  delircrancc  from  pnrgatory 
will  not  Ik;  more  [icrfect,  but  it  will  be  earlier."    The  faco  of  the  i-artli  waa 
covered  with  monks  and  friiirH.  :unl  hoiivcu  filled  with  saint«aiid  mediators. 
Boxen  were  loaded  with  llie  hair  of  virgins  tvlio  had  never  been  chaste,  and  the 
pth  of  saints  who  had  never  l>ceu  toinperatc.     Snch   relics  as  these  were 
DCd  for  a  certain  sum,  and  Imwkod  about  tlie  ctuintry.     At  Witteoiberg 
i  a  fragment  nf  the  ark,  some  soot  from  Xehuchudnex^ar's  licry  fur- 
nace, and  |mrt  of  St.  Christopher's  beard.     At  Scliafnianscn  was  shown  the  ^ 
breath  of  St.  Joseph,  that  Nicodemus  received  on  his  glove.     At  W'arteon* 
tMTg  the  vendor  of  this  kind  of  merchandize  iidorued  his  cap  with  a  feather'' 
tAkeu   from  the  archangel    Michael's  wing.      Then   came    the   midnight 
cbauocs»  the  Avc-Marias  and  prayers  to  St.  Ursula  and  St.  liridgetand  St. 
Munaca.     Uv  way  of  recreation,  the  holiest  seasons  of  the  Christian  sra 
were  selected  for  desecration,  and  its  festivals  set  apart  for  exhibitions  of  I 
the  most  profane  burtbonery.     The  humours  of  Easter  were  never  over- 
pused,  and  the  obiect  of  the  preacher,  at  that  season,  was  to  excite  bis 
hearers  to  laughter.     To  effect  tliis,  one  preacher  imitated  !he  cuckoo, 
nnotbor  hissed  like  a  goose  ;  one  dragged  to  the  altar  a  layman  dressed  in  a 
toonk's  cowl,  a  i^econd  related  the  most  indecent  stories,  a  third  recounted  i 
the  tricks  of  the  apostle  St.  Peter, — among  others   how,   at  an  inn,  hel 
cheated  his  host  by  not  paying  his  reckoning.     Qvcolampadius  has  written  &| 
trcatl«e  on  this  subject, — <)c  Kisu  Paschali.    The  temples  of  religion   ba-l 
eamc  stages  ; — the  priestt>  jugglers  and  mountebanks.     Such  want  of  rcli-< 
gioas  feeliog  was  of  course  itccoiupanied  by  a  correspondent  want  of  mora- 
lity.    The  lower  clergy  fretpiented  taverns  and  stews  ;  the  bishops  and  the 
higher  clergy  preferred  the  camp  to  the  church,  wore  armour  instead  of 
tbeiiboly  vestments,  and  went  out,  sword  in  hand,  to  attack  their  neigh-j 
bours**     'J'his,  houevcr,  was  but  common  scandal  compared  to  the  histor 
t>f  one  family, — the  Borgins, — whose  eminence  in  guilt  surpassed  all  othert,] 
and  who  managed,  in  their  race  alone,  to  assemble  almost  every  crime  tha 
can  disgrace  humanity.     The  history  of  their  enormities,  however,  can  be] 
transferred  to  no  page  without  covering  it  \vith  pollution  and  disgust. 

It  may  well  be  supposed  tliat  a  darkness  of  the  understanding  accom- 
panied this  corruption  of  the  heart.     All  learning  was  ridiculed  or  de-.

Prince's  palaee,  the  scholar's  study,  and  the  mechanic's  shop.     'J'hc  voicol 
was  5rst  heard  from  "  the  Alpine  mountains  cold  "  of  Piedmont,  and  among  J 
the  followers  of  Valdo.   It  then  clianged  its  aboile, — It  spake  from  the  depth! 
of  the   dungeon  in   which   Hush  lay,    and  reappeared  iu  tliu  midst  of  thsJ 
flames  tliat  ivere  purifying  for  glory  the  Bohemian  martyr.     Again  it  toolc] 
Wycliffes  form,  though  ever  one  and  the  same.     At  length  it  pierce' 
within  the  ver)' pales  of  the  Romish  church      The  poor  Carthusian  friar] 
at  Bf^Ie*  made  hts  solitary  confession  of  the  truth  in  his  midnight  cell:  the 
leanied  Dominican  nt  Kloreneet  preached  openly  against  the  insupportable 
vices  of  Home.     (»eilcr  of  KaJ3cub<*rg,  for  tliree  and  thirty  year*  the  great, 
preacher  of  (.terroony.  pointed  to  the  woods,  then  yellow  with  the  autumnal  I 
uDCSj  and  said, — '*\Vhen  the  summer  leaves  arc  sere,  n-e  say  that  the  root 
is  diseased.  "     Thus  were  the  lights  coming  forth,  and  one  by  one  appear- 
ing,— ''day's  liarbingei-s,'— and  the  great  guiding  star  was  about  to  rise. 
*'  If,"  says  our  author,  '^  in  the  time  of  St.   Paul,  or  of  Ambrose,  or  of 
Austin,  or  Chrysostom,  or  even  in  the  days  of  Anselm  and  Bernnrd,  the 
question  had  been  asked,  what  |)Ooplu  or  nation  (!od   wouM    be  likely   to 
asc  to  reform  the  church,  tlie  thought  might  have  tunted  to  the  countries 
honoured  by  the  apostolic  miuistry, — to  Asia,  to  Oreece,  to  Rome,  perhaps 
to  Britain  or  to  France,  where  men  of  gr(*-at  learning  had  preached  ;   but 
none  would  have  thought  of  the  barbarous  fiermans.     Germany  alone  bad 
continued  dark  when  other  countries  saw  the  light  ;  yet  it  was    Germany 
that  was  chosen.    It  was  fit  that  the  princi[ile  of  life  should  devclo^te  itself 
ID  the  heart  of  Europe."     Our  author  recounts  the  favourable  cireumstancei 
in  which  that  country  was  at   that  time  pUced.     It   was,  after  violent 
struggles  and  disorders,  then  at  peace.     Secondly,  the  people, — the  middle 
d  lower-middle  ranks, — were  advancing  in  independence  and  knowledge. 
igatD,  the  religion  of  the  Ijicrmans,  though  originally  given  to  them  must 
defectirely,  hud  advanced,  and  never  retreated  and  fallen  off  as  in  Italy  and 
elsewhere,  where  it  resembled  a  pirtnre  whose  colours  were  faded  and  Hed. 
The  different  princes  and  electors  were  in   nlhance   with  each  other,  and 
more  independent  tbun  before  ;   but  more    than   all    l>eside,   the    land    was 
weary  of  the  burden  of  its  corrupted  church.     The  niiigi»<triitesand   couu- 
tiellora  looked  nn  the  clergy  with  hnlretl  and  contempt.  The  burgomasters  and 
citizens  ridiculed  their  mumnieries,   opposed    tlicir  rapacity,  resisted  their 
power,  and  ilespised  their  persons,     'i  bus  on  all  sides  was   heard  the   low 
luiinnur  fnnn  above,  the  forerunner  of  the  thunderbolt  that  wat  about  to  fall. 
Providence  had  prrparcrl  all  things ;  the  harvest  was  ripe,  and  the  men  whom 
he  had  chosen. stoo^l  waiting  and  ready  fortheir  work.   Frederic,  the  Klector 
of  Snxony,  surnamed  the  Wise,  \%us  the  tree  under  the  Hhadow  of  which 
the  secfl  of  heavenly  truth  was  about  to  spring.    And  now  we  are  called

boy,  of  pleasing  manners  and  sprightly  dispo«ition,  the  non  of  a  citiiea 
good  reputation  in  that  town.     The  MarRfavc  took  the  boy  into  favomrj 
and  made  him  the  companion  of  his  son  Frederic,  uhcu  the  Utter  went 
the  University  of  Paris.     Voung  KeuchUn  waa  in  transports  of  joy  whe 
he   anired   at  this  celebrated  school  of  learning.     Ue  there  found  tb 
Spartan  Hermt^nes  and   John    U'iessel,  sumamed   "  the   light  of

twenty  he  taught  philosopliy  and  Greek  and  Latin  at  B:i$Ie  ;    and  at  ih^J

of  that  country,  which  has  su)>5A.-(|ucutly   produced    the   most   indastrtom(p|

FicuB  of  Mirandola,  were  his  companions ;  and  at  Rome  Reochlin  presented^ 
an  address  to  the  Pope  in  such  correct  and  elegant  Latinity,  that  the  CaT'-

return  Renchlin  resided  QtWurtcmbci^,  and  ciiicrcd  on  those  labours  that 
were  most  serviceable  to  Luther  and  to  the  cause  of  the  Kcformation. 
He  tnui?late<i  and  evixmuded  the  penitential  psalms,  published  a  ilebrenr 
dictionary  and  {jranimar,  the  first  that  had  been  seen  in  Germany,  and  cor- 
rected the  Vuigatc.  The  llefonnatton,  however,  owed  more  to  Keuchlin 
tbau  the  mere  assistance  of  his  ivritings.  As  an  instance  : — a  young  man, 
a  cousin  of  his^  the  son  of  an  artisaD*  famous  as  a  manufacturer  of  armSf 
whose  name  was  Schwarzend,  came  to  lodge  with  his  sister,  for  the 
purpose  of  studying  under  his  direction.  Keuchlin  was  delighted  with  the 
tcm|>er  and  i^^uins  of  his  pupil,  and  spared  no  pains  in  giving  him  a  learned 
and  religious  education.  Icutonie  names  aomuling  barbarous  to  learned 
earSj  Reuchlin,  as  the  fashion  of  tlie  time  went,  exchanged  the  word 
Schwarzend  for  what  was  a  more  classical,  if  not  more  cuphonous, — Me- 
lancthou :  thus  first  appeared,  of  whom  wc  shall  presently  speak,  the 
future  and  illustrious  friend  of  Luther,  and  the  most  mo<leratc,  the  most 
amiable,  |>crhaps  the  most  learned  of  all  the  Keformcrs.  Reuchlin  soou 
After  engaged  in  a  violent  contest  with  the  Dominicans,  at  Cologne,  in 
consequciioe  of  an  order  which  they  and  the  inquisitor  bad  obtained,  from 
the  Emperor  Maximilian,  requiring  the  Jews  to  bring  all  their  books, 
except  the  Bible,  to  tlio  town  boll  to  be  burned.  Reuchlin  advised  that 
the  books  shouhl  \)c  saved,  and  a  Hcbre^v  leeturci^hip  instituted,  to  euuble 
others  besides  the  Jews  to  read  them.  The  jx^rseeutors  and  inquisitors 
in  Iheir  anger  turned  round  on  him.  A  desperate  conthct  ensued  j  but 
Reuchlin  appealed  to  the  Tope  I^o  X,  who  declared  him  innocent.  ITiia 
unexpected  affair  was  important.  It  united  more  closely  the  friends  of 
learning  ;  it  exhibited  more  vividly  the  motives  and  feelings  of  the  bigoted 
inmates  of  the  monasteries  }  it  was,  as  it  were,  the  first  skirmish  of  the 
great  battle  that  was  hereafter  to  be  fonght ;  the  first  sound  of  the  trum- 
pet, whose  portentous  echoctt  were  to  pierce  through  the  walls  of  the  Va- 
tican, and  shake  the  foundations  of  the  temple  seated  on  that  opprobrious 
hill ;  so  that  it  might  justly  be  said — 

"  Were  ne'er  pruiihctic  aouuih  »o  full  of  woo." 

Lather,  acknowledging  all  tliat  Reuchlin  had  done  for  the  cause  of  this 
Reformation,  wrote  to  him — "  'Hie  l^rd  has  wrought  in  you,  that  tho 
li^ht  of  his  holy  word  may  ngaia  shine  forth  in  Gciniany,  whero  for  so

Luther  dissuaded  hiui,  but  he  attacked  Treves  with  500  liorse  and  lOOO

flbocmaker,  tbe  same  writer  obseri'es,  is  remarkable  for  the  production  of 
philosophcns  and  poets. 1  His  poem  entitled  "  the  Morning  Star"  uas 
the  ver)'  6p»t  publication  that  appeared  in  praiee  and  support  of  Luther  ; 
and  an  excellent  hymn  of  Hans  Sachs,  which  has  been  deservedly  trans- 
lated into  almost  all  the  European  languages,  w:i6  eotiimonly  sung  in  the

was  distinguished  alike  for  bis  pen  and  liis  sword,  like  some  of  our  uwu  poets

Huttcn  Is  inseparably  connected  with  the  onec  famous  work  ca.lled  '■  Upi»- 
tola;  Obscurornm  V'^ironitn."     He  was  assisted  by  others  whose  name^  we 
have  given  in  n note.*  Tlie  object  of  it  was  to  exjKise  the  i^fiicnuice,  bigotry, 
and  Icnaver)'  of  the  monks,  not  forgt-tting  their  low  dcbauclieries  and  vul- 
gar amonrs.f  The  sntirv  was  so  veiled,  and  socleverly  shaded,  that  many  of 
the  religions  orders  in  Englnud  bouglit  it,  as  if  written  in  tlitir  lU'ffnce.     A 
prior  of  Brabant  collected  numcrotu  eniiies  to  distribute  among  the  DoDi- j 
utcanfi.   No  work,  it  is  said,  ever  stniek  a  dcep«'r  blow  to  puiHry.     Mudij 
of  the  freshness  and  poignancy  of  the  satire   has  now  escaped^   and  ill  I

fivcry  one  knoM's  how  Emsmns  enjoyed  its  humour,  but  Luther  dtsap«j 
proved  and  disliked  its  buffoonery.     Ulrlc  now  repaired  to  Charles  tuaj 
Fifth  at  Brufiitels,  but  the  Pope  had  previously  desired  the  Emperor  to  Mnti] 
him  bound  band  and  foot  to  Home.     Indignant  at  this,  he  left  the   eityif 
aud  as  he  passed  the  gates,  he  met  the  inquisitor  Hocbstraten  on  the 
road.     The  base  tnonk  fell  on  his  knees,  and   commended  Ids  soul  Lo  iho 
saints.     *'  No  (tjuoth  the  knight)   I  will  not  soil  my  weapon  with   thy 
bloud."     He   gave  him  some  atn)kts  uith  the   flat  of    his   sword,  and  I 
altoued  him  to  pnss  unhurt.     He  took  refuge  in  the  Castle  of  Ebeniburg, 
where  Francis  of  Sickingen  offered  him  an  asylum.  He  there  dictated  thtwc 
letters  addressed  to  Charles  llif  Fifth,  to  Frederic  the   Elector  of  8axonv,I 
and  Albert  Archbishop  of  Mentz,  and   he  then  eoiupo!?ud  those    writingf  I 
which   spread  through  Gerniiiny  a  detestation  of  Roman   tyranny  and  aj 
love  of  liberty.     His  aim  was  to  excite  tlic  nobles  to  arm  in  favour  uf  the] 
Gospel^  tc»  march  to  Rome,  and  overthiow  at  once  its  spiritual  and  tern'*] 
ponil  power.     These  were  lofty  hopes,  loo  airily  built,  and  sure  not  to  be  I 
realised  by  him  :  It  was  a  sworn  of  another  temper,  and  wielded  by  another j

considered  n.s  n  hohf  chnnipion  of  the  church  :  the  ronduct  of  hi;;  lif<^  wot. 
but  weakly  regulnti'd,  and  it  is  eveu  said,  that  his  debaucheries  were  the ' 
CMDse  of  his  death.  In  hin  picture  he  is  filly  drawn  in  full  nrmour.  a 
wreath  of  Inurel  on  his  head,  nnd  his  rigitt  hand  npoit  bis  siword-hilt.* 
*'  I'care  to  the  toancs  of  the  fallen  chief." — "  Rest,  perturbed  spirit,  rest." 
We  have  now  to  make  mention  of  one  who  was  not  only  one  of  the  fore- 
most champions  of  the  reformed  church,  bnt  the  personal  friend  of  Luther, 
and  to  whotit  without  rcficr\'c  the  secrets  of  hi&  heart  were  disclosed.  Of 
Melancthonit  might  bcjiiBtl)'  said,  that  be  was  the  pious  son  ofpionspa- 
rcntfi:  his  father,  as  we  have  mentioned,  was  u  master  nrmourer  at  Brelteu  ; 
lie  enjoyed  the  esteem  of  the  princes  of  Saxony  and  Bavarin,  and  was  re- 
markable for  the  wtnscientious  uprightuess  of  his  deaiin^^.  He  rcgiihirly 
rose  nt  midnight,  and  offer  n  prayer  upon  his  knees.  His  wife  was 
somewhat  inclined  to  su|)erstition,  but  was  a  discreet  aiitl  prudent  woman. 
Some  old  (icrmnn  rhymes  are  said  to  be  of  her  composition. 

"  Gifti  to  the  poor— imjioverish  none ; 
To  church  to  pray — wilt  hiiulor  iioae ; 
To  grease  the  wheel — ddajeth  none ; 
111  gotten  wealth — enricheth  ooqc  ; 
God's  holy  book — ilclnilcth  dooc.'' 

When  Philip  Melancthon  was  only  elewn  years  of  ngc,  his  father  died. 
Ten  days  before  his  death,  he  summoned  his  son  to  his  bedside,  and  cx- 
hortrd  him  to  set  the  Lord  always  before  him.  "  I  foresee."  said  the 
dying  mail,  ''that  stormy  times  are  at  liand.  I  have  witnessed  great 
things  J  but  there  arc  greater  still  in  preparation.  God  preserve  and 
guide  you."  After  receiring  his  father's  blessing,  Philip  went  to  .Spire, 
that  ho  might  not  be  present  at  his  death.  His  grandfather  placed  him, 
with  two  sons  of  his  own,  under  the  care  of  -fohn  Himgarus,  who  wax  a 
di(H:rect  and  pnident  man,  overlooking  no  fnults,  yet  not  to  any  excesti 
Mverc.  "  It  was  thus,"  wild  Melancthon,  "  that  he  made  me  a  i^mma- 
rian.  He  loved  me  as  if  I  bad  been  his  son,  I  loved  him  as  n  father,  and 
I  trust  we  shall  meet  in  heaven."  Philip  was  remarkable  for  the  ex- 
cellence of  his  understanding,  for  industry  in  acquiring  knowledge,  and  for 
his  qoickness  and  readiness  in  imparting  it.  "  (juiescerc  non  [wtnit,  ned 
t|aerehat  ubique  aliquciu  cum  cpio  dc  auditis  dispntjiret,"  When  learned 
breigners  passed  through  the  city,  the  bailiffs  grandson  was  seen  at  their 
elbow,  with  his  ciucstions  and  dlipntations  }  yet  his  disposition  was  from 
the  first,  aud  invariably  through  life,  sweet  and  mild,  and  such  as  speaks  the 
Ghriittaii.  When  Ids  father  died,  he  n^as  sent  to  school  to  Pforzheim, :md 
lodged  with  one  of  his  female  relatives,  who  was  sister  to  Kcuchlin.  Under 
the  tuition  of  (ieorgc  Simler,  he  made  rapid  progress  in  leaniiog,  especially 
in  Cireck,  to  the  study  of  which  he  was  passionately  devoted.  KeuehUu 
visited  him,  and  gave  him  a  Greek  grainmnr  and  a  Bible.  ivhirU  books  woro 
indeed  the  study  of  hi*^  life.  When  Kcuchlin  returned  from  Italy,  Mcliincthoa 
greeted  him  with  a  Latiu  comedy  of  his  own  composing,  with  which  the  old  ! 
scholar  was  so  much  pleased,  lluit  he  called  him  hin  l>cloved  son,  and  placed  { 
bb  doctor's  red  hat  on  the  boy's  head.  At  twelve  years  of  agr  lie  entered  , 
tke  University  of  Heidelberg,  and  wils  made  bachelnr  at  fourteen.  Then  ' 
he  went  to  Tubingen,  and  obtaiutyl  all  the  knowledge  in  theology,  phvsic«, '

answered  ;  "  No  fear  least  dinner  cool,"  but  at  length  his  hunger  incicased

splendour  of  his  fame.     Keuehliu   wati   about  tv^clve  years  of  age  when 
Erasmus  wasboiu.     Strange  and  romantic  was  the  history  of  his  birth,— 
M  tid  story  of  unlawful  lore !  followed,  too,  by  thai  sorrow  that  ceases  not 
un  this  side  of  the  grave.     A   native  of  Oouda,  a  man  of  wit  and  vivacity* 
nf  the  iiHme  of  Gerard*  formed   a  strong   attachineut    to  a  girl   called  \ 
iMargnrtl.   tlic  dau|;hter  of  a  physician  of  the  city.     They  loved  :  the 
voice  of  duty,  the  calls  of  couscicDce  and  religiuo^  the  fear  of  the  world's 
censDres  were  for  a  moment  foi^otteu.*

IVIicii  Margaret  felt  and  confessed  that  she  should  soon  be  a  mcther, 
tlie  family  of  Gerard  endeavoured  to  force  him  into  the  churcli,  and  the 
benildered  lover  fled  to  Rome.  He  heard  nothini;  for  a  while  from  iiis 
friends  at  home  j  at  length  it  was  disclosed  to  hint  that  she  to  Hbom 
be  was  betrothed  was  dead,  lu  disap[>oiutmettt,  and  in  the  abandonment 
of  grief,  he  took  priest's  orders,  and  devoted  himself  to  the  church.  Ke- 
tuming  some  time  after  to  Hothiud,  he  had  to  lament  his  rash  cre<lulity — 
he  bad  been  im|H>sed  nn  by  a  fitbtii'uted  tjdc  ;  Margaret  was  sli.l  living. 
She  never  would  marry  any  other,  and  he  remained  faithful  to  his  vow  ; 
their  mutual  love  centered  in  their  child.  When  he  was  only  four  years 
oUt  be  was  sent  to  school.  His  mother  died,  and  the  father,  from  grief, 
WMSoon  her  companiun  in  the  tomb.  The  young  Erasmus  was  thus  k-ft 
mione  io  the  world;  but  bis  abilities  gaiued  bim  friends  and  protec- 
tors. He  was  not  yet  thirteen,  when  bis  master,  embracing  him  with  joyi

Archbishop  Warhara  ;iIso  was  his  patron,  and  from  him  he   received  the 
Uviitj;  of  Aldincton  in  Kent.     Previously  he  resided  and  lectured  at  Cam- 
bridge i  m  \o\0  he  went  to  Basle,  fixed   his  rcstdeuec  there  in  16'Jl.  and 
died  ill    that  city  in    1536,  u^ed    70.     Mr.  d'Aiibigni^  asks  whot  was  thej 
influence  of  EniEmus  on  the  Ueformalion.     His  aui^u'er  to  this  question  icj 
judicious,  candid,  and,  ue  think,  correct,  and  \vc  will  therefore  gire  it  iiij 
his  own  word.s.     "  It  has  been  too  much  exalted    by  some,  and  too  much' 
depreciated  by  others.     Enumus  never  was,  and  never  would  have  been,  a 
reformer ;  but  he  prepared  the  ivay  for  others.     Not  only  did  be  in  hiii 
time  tliH'use  a  love  of  learning;,  and  a  spirit  of  inquiry  and  discussion  which] 
led  much  further  ttian  he  himself  would  follow  ;  but,  in  addition  to  tliiB,| 
he  was  enabled,  sheltered  by  the  protection  of  great  prelates  and  powerfoll 
princes.  In  imvci!  and  combat  the  vices  of  the  church,  by  the  most  pungent . 
satires.     He  did  more  :    not  content    with  attacking   abuses,   EtasmuS 
laboured  to  recall  divines  from  the  scholastic  theology  to  the  study  of  tbe 
Holy  Scriptures.     The  highest  object,  said  he,  of  the  revival  of  phlloso- 
phvt  will  be  to  di-tcorcr  in   the  Bible  the  free  and   simple  Chrititianity. 
'  I  am   firmly  resolved,'  said   he  ngaiui  *  to  die  in  the  study  of  the  Scrip- 
ture i    thnt  is  my  joy  and  peace."      But  Erasmus  was  not  content  vvitll 
making  an  open  coufe8:iion  of  the  evangelic  doctrine,  his  laljoiirs  did  mur 
than  his  wurks.     Above  all,  he  rendered   a  must  important  service  lo  th^ 
truth  by   puhhshing   the  New  Testament ;  the  tirst.  and,  for  a  long  titnc 
the  only  critical  edition.   It  appeared  at  Basle   in  151fi,  the  year  previo 
to  the  usual  date  of  the  Refunuation.      He   accompanied  it   with  a 
translation,  wherein  he  boldly  corrected  the  Vidgate,  and  with  notcsdcfcode 
his  corrections.      '  Would  to  (iod,'  said  he,  '  in  sending  forth  this  Mforfc 
it  might  bear  an  much  fruit  for  Christian  it)'  as  it  has  cost  me  labour  un^ 
application.'        His   pionK    \vish   was   realized  ^    In    vain   did    the   monk 
clamour  against  it.     '  He  pretends  to  correct  the  Holy  Ghost.'  they 
Em:imas  served,  too,  as  a  stepping  stoncta  several  otheni.    Many  who  wo 
have  taken  alarm  at  evangelical  truths  brought  forward  lU  all  their  enc 
and  purity,  suffered  themselves  to  be  drawn  on  by  him.  and  became  after 
\i-ards  the  most  zealous  actors  in  the  Reformatioo.     But  the  very  caus 
that  made  him  a  (it  instrument  to  prepare  this  great  work,  disquulihed  hia 
fur  accomplishing  it.     '  Enismns/  said  Luther,  '  knows  very  well  howl 
expose  error,  but  he  dues  not  know  lio»  to  teach  the  truth.'     I'lic  (iosi) 
of  Christ  was  not  the  fire  that  kindled  and   supported  hitt  life,  tbv  ccu'l^

■od  Luther  nre  the  representatives  of  the  two  grent  ttlens  relative  to  the 
ReformatioQ  j  of  the  two  great  pnrties  in  their  nge  and  in  iill  ages.  The 
one  class  are  men  of  timid  prudeuce,  the  other  those  of  entire  courai^  aud 
resolution.  'I'hese  ttvo  grent  bo<lies  of  men  existed  at  this  period,  and  they 
were  personified  in  these  illustrions  hends.  The  former  thought  that  the 
cultiv-ulioD  of  the<ilogical  scienrc  uontd  lead  jcnidiially  and  gently  to  the 
Reformation  of  the  chuich  ;  the  latter  cunsidcrcd  thnt  the  spn-ad  of  more 
correct  ideas  amongst  the  Icarnefi  world  would  not  put  an  end  to  the  gross 
■Dper^titioiis  of  the  people  ;  and  that  to  reform  such  or  such  a  cln£s  wim 
of  little  importance,  so  long  as  the  life  of  the  ehurch  was  not  thoroughly 
renovated."  Such  was  the  character  of  Erastnus,  *•  In  moderation  phicing 
»))  his  glory."  he  thought  that  a  Reformation  which  winild  shake  the 
temple  of  the  ehurch  might  altogether  overthrow*  it :  he  also  dreaded  the 
<*irect  of  violent  agitations,  such  as  this  would  be,  on  the  general  peace  of 
society  ;  he  acted  like  all  timid  men  :  lie  liked  half- measures,  gentle  oieaus, 
cautious  experiments,  eoncilialory  eomprntnises,  |>olitic  resolves;  he  thought 
a  safe  and  easy  step  was  better  than  a  rapid  stride.  He  would  repell  liii 
enemy  by  repeated  ^ikirmishes,  and  break  him  down  by  flying  detachments. 
His  great  maxim  was,  "  (tive  light,  and  the  darkness  will  dii^appcar  of 
itswflf,"  and  so  it  would  ;  but  probably,  after  a  long  conHict  of  the  most 
violent  passions,  the  concussion  of  the  most  powerful  interests,  and  the 
commission  of  the  most  fearful  crimes  ;  after  the  elements  of  society  had 
been  let  loose  from  their  long  bondage,  without  a  light  to  guide,  ft  path  to 
(juniuc,  or  a  power  to  restrain.  In  such  cases,  to  act  vigoRiusly  is  to  act 
wisely  and  mercifully.  The  harrow  that  tears  the  bosom  of  the  ground 
prepares  it  for  the  seed  ;  and  the  storm  that  makes  the  pantA  of  the  forest 
trerbble,  it  is  said,  brings  fertility  aud  punfieatiou  o.i  its  wiugs.  The 
object  of  Erasmus  was  to  iuflueiiee  the  rich,  that  of  Luther  to  eulighten  the 
poor.  One  would  have  cradled  the  nativity  of  the  Kcfurmation  in  the 
chambers  of  the  palace,  the  other  would  have  laid  it  in  the  manger  of  an  inn. 
•*  If  (said  he)  the  corrupted  morals  of  the  Cuurt  of  Rome  require  a  great 
and  speedy  remedy,  it  is  not  for  us,  or  such  as  iis,  to  efTi-ct  it."  He  con- 
fessed that  be  was  not  prepared  for  martyrdom  ;  if  a  tumult  arise,  he  should 
be  like  Peter  in  his  fait.  Erasmus,  like  Cicero,  was  weakened  in  liis  mora] 
temper  by  the  love  of  the  blandishments  of  a  delicate  and  tranquil  life. 
"  Luther  says  be  was  Lucianical  and  full  of  epicurism  ;  verba  sine  re."  He 
look  the  greatest  care  of  his  hcdth  ;  when  young,  lie  trembled  at  the 
thnnght  of  death.  When  the  clouds  bad  been  broken  through,  and  the 
columns  of  vapours  were  wreathing  and  tossing  to  and  fro  with  tempes- 
tuous violence,  and  yielding  alternately  to  cvcrv  opposing  gust,  Erasmus  be- 
came alarmed  at  the  nsing  storm.  lie  wishcrl  the  work  undonci  he  looked 
luck  ou  the  former  Sitate  of  apparent  tmuqnillity  and  content,  and  be 
was  willing  to  mistake,  the  sullen  and  deadly  mists  that  had  so  long  aud 
fatally  brooded  over  the  earth,  fur  a  serene  and  healthy  atmosphere  ;  he  had 
loarchcd  into  the  bosom  of  the  land,  as  far  as  bis  courage  led  him,  and 
would  almost  wish  to  retreat.  ''  Thus,  as  has  been  said,  Ciod  used  him  for 
his  instniment  for  a  season,  and  ho  wus powerful  ;  he  let  gtithe  divine  hand, 
and  he  became  as  notliinj'."  S.  Curio  depicts  two  heaveuf,  the  papal  and 
the  Christian  3  he  found  Krasuius  in  neither,  but  perceived  him  incessantly 
wheeling  iu  never-ending  circles  between  both.  Burke  has  somewhere 
tMd,  "  The  verj-  attempt  towards  picasiug  everybody  disL-ocers  a  temper 
flaahy  and  often  false  and  insincere."    There  is  a  disposition  tlMt  is  afraid

all  trimmers  ;  the  Ueforniers  lamented  over  him,  as  over  a  brother  that  h 
gone  astray  ;  the  monks  and    frinrs  dreaded  and  detected  him.     A  canon

Tliia  ancient  mansioo.  atill  existioi 
in  some  decay,  oa  a  farm-hou^e  and 
its  otficeii,  may  he  attributed  to  tbe 
euity  part  of  the  tineeiith  century.  On 
entering  the  fore-court,  the  hull  is  ou 
the  left  bund.  It  meaaures  in  its  in- 
terior thirty-seven  feet  jti  length,  by 
twenty  in  width.  There  h  a  remark- 
able  correspondence  in  its  parta.  At 
the  cant  end  are  two  unifnrm  doors. 
In  each  side  wall  arc  two  doors  at  the 
Kjwcr  end,  two  uniform  windows,  and 
an  ornamental  bracket  between  ibem. 
At  the  upper  end,  on  the  south  side 
was  a  bia;li  arch,  origioally  forming  a 
bay,  or  leading  into  the  drawing  room, 
but  now  fillrd  up.  On  the  other  side 
anuUit-r  door  into  the  court-yard.  The

ing at  top.  The  lines  of  tlieir  tracery 
are  flowing,  as  rcpreacutcd  in  the  fol- 
lowing page. 

The  btacketa  already  mentioned  are 
ornamented  each  with  four  amall  sunk 
quatrefoil  panels  and  two  quatrefoil 
rosettes.  Rutter  asserts  that  these 
brackets  were  "for  the  purpose  of  sus- 
tftining  the  military  trophies  which 
were  amongst  the  most  admired  deco- 
rations of  these  stately  apartments  ;"

A  turret  coDtainiog  nineteen  stone 
steps  conducts  tu  tbc  upper  story. 
This  stAircase  was  lighted  by  two  sraall 
windows,  the  upper  one  a  quatrefoil 
within  a  small  circle  (never  glazed). 

There  is  a  handsome  groined  ceiling 
of  plaster  in  the  upper  floor  ;  the  in* 
tersecting  mouldings  forming  wheels 
and  crosses,  with  large  rosettes ;  but 
it  was  an  addttiou  subsequeot  to  the 
origmal  fttructure,  and  perhaps  of  the 
rei^Q  of  James  or  Charles  I.  as  is  the 
wainscot  paneling. 

The  owner  of  tliis  property  is  Sir 
John  Smyth,  Bart,  of  Long  Ashtoa 
Park.  The  present  tenant  is  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Voules,  yeoman. 

The  Church,  which  immediately 
adjoins  the  roaiior-house,  consists  of  o 
oave,  north  and  south  aisles,  chancel, 
tower  at  the  west  end,  and  a  sooth 
porch.  About  the  exterior  generally 
there  are  not  many  marks  of  remote 
antiquity.  Of  the  original  lancet 
windows  there  are  some  remains,  but 
the  present  windows  are  nearly  all  in- 
sertionit  of  the  latter  period  of  pointed 
architecture.  Tlie  outer  archway  of 
the  porch  may.  however,  b<*  taken  asn 
specimen  fif  ili»^  ftritiual   «-tnicturo    in 


the  early  English  style.  It  has  a  txi- 
foliated  head  rising  from  slender  pillars 
and  capitals,  omameotcij  with  a  •mall 
dog-tooth  pattern.  The  font  is  also  a 
relic  of  the  same  period  :  it  is  squarr* 
each  side  measuring  two  feet  six  Inchca 
at  top,  slightly  narrow  ing  down  wanis  |  ~ 
a  short  pillar  at  each  comer,  and 
trifoliated  arch  carved  on  each  panel, 
The  arches  of  the  interior  of  tliecliurcli 
are  now  perfectly  plain,  at  if  cut  outi 
of  a  wall ;  but  one  of  them  has  relict 
of  pilasters  carved  at  its  curner»,  wbicb 
seem  to  have  been  cut  away. 

The  church  tower  is  rerearkabtc  fo: 
having  many  large  flat  brickd  worke 
up   amongst   the   stone.     There    is  af 
water-stoup  In  the  porch.

a  cruMiler,  cross-legged,  accoutred 
wholly  in  chain  mail  covered  upon  the 
budy  with  a  light  linen  aurcoat ;  n 
plain  healer  shield  on  his  left  side, 
beneath  which  his  left  liand  is  con- 
cealed and  his  »word ;  his  right  hand 
held  before  him  :  his  feet  on  a  lion. 
His  head  rests  on  a  lozenge  pillow, 
ilightly  turning  to  the  right. 

The  second  efBgy  is  a  lady.  Her 
forehead,  face,  and  chin  are  banded 
with  a  wide  fillet,  leaving  a  pmall  ball 
of  hair  above  each  check.  Ttie  hair 
on  the  upper  part  of  her  head  is  con- 
fineil  by  smaller  cross  bands.  Her 
hand*  are  raised  in  prayer.  Her  feet 
on  a  lion.  The  length  of  this  figure  is 
six  feet. 

The  third  effigy  is  another  crusader ; 
fSBembling  the  former  in  costume  and 
in  attitude,  eicppt  that  he  is  repre- 
aented  aa  drawing  his  sword,  held 
in  front.  He  has  a  small  garter  round 
his  right  knee,  and  spurs  ;  and  his 
feet  on  a  lion.  Mis  stature  is  six  feet 
two  inches. 

These  effigies  may  be  attributed  to 
the  De  Tickenhams,  already  men* 
tioned.  There  are  no  motiem  monu-

one  with  armnrial  bearings  is  In  the 
south  aisle,  to  the  memory  uf  the 
family  of  Samuel  Have,  Gent,  in  the 
last  century. 

There  are  some  small  remains  of 
stained  glass  in  several  of  the  windows.

Watertoo  Uriitj/e 
Road,  Nov.  20. 

HAVING  been  a  constant  sub- 
scriber to  and  reader  of  your  valuable 
MagB7ine  for  the  last  thirty  years, 
1  need  not  say  that  [  have  reaped 
much  information  from  its  pages,  and 
have  ever  loi^ked  upon  the  work  as  a 
kind  of  guardian  spirit  hovering  over 
the  remains  of  ancient  English  archi- 
tecture, and  often  by  its  influence 
arresting  the  ruthle&s  hand  of  the 
spoliator,  when  directed  against  the 
inimitable  temples  of  our  forefathers. 

1  am  therefore  exceedingly  anxioua 
that  you  should  correct  some  observa- 
tions in  your  last  number,  (p.  506,) 
in  reviewing  the  "  Hioiory  and  To- 
pography of  AAhbourn,  &c."  whereby 
you  ore  fed  to  suppose  that  the  r-MtorO' 
tion  and  repcwiog  of  Asbbourn  church 
now  going  on  under  my  direction 
has  commenced  by  the  "  destruc- 
tion of  the  screen  between  the  nave 
and  the  chancel,  and  also  the  porch  on 
the  south  side  of  the  nave,  (lie  inner 
doorway  being  removed,  and  a  window 
inserted  uniform  with  those  on  each 
side." 

Permit  me  to  inform  you  that  no 
ancient  screen  existed  in  the  church, 
between  the  chancel  and  the  nave,  when 
the  present  works  commenced.  Abont 
forty  years  ago  a  rude  |>artitiDn,  com- 
posed of  split  tir  poles  covered  on  both 
sides  with  rccds  coarsely  plastered 
over,  was  put  up,  and  extended  from 
the  door  to  the  old  oak  roof;  thereby 
completely  shutting  out  from  the  body 
of  the  church  a  view  of  one  of  the 
most  beantiful  specimens  of  early 
pointed  work  in  llie  kingdom.  To  the 
rcuiuval  of  this  barbarous  obstruction, 
and  the  substitution  of  an  oak 
screen  in  character  with  the  building, 
I  plead  guilty. 

The  arrangement  of  the  new  pewing 
requiring  the  doorway  on  the  south 
side  of  the  church  to  be  closed,  I  found 
on  examination  that  both  it  and  the 
porch  were  of  a  much  later  period 
than  the  window»  ond  buttiesses  ;  and 
that  the  lower  part  uf  the  windows 
above  the  porch  fiad  been  cut  away  to 
provide  fur  a  comparatively  modern 
doorway.  Convenience  as  well  aa 
restitratiw  sanctioning  the  removal  i 
thefie,  I  acted  accordingly. 

1  also  beg  to  correct  your  obecrra- 
tinns  with  regard  tu  the  chancel  being 
"  the  only  portion  of  the  ciisting  i^ilu.

with  such  alterattoos  in  the  windovn 
AS  we  frequently  find  in  tht  various 
transitions  from  the  pore  and  simple 
laacet-arch  to  the  fodlest  variety 
of  fanciful  tracrry  u*ed  in  later

as  the  chancel.  The  foot  is  very  fine, 
and  of  the  sane  period.  Th«  walls 
and  bnttresMS  are  generally  of  the 
orisioal  character  of  the  church. 

The  restoration  of  the  floorr  to  their

some  interesting  specimens  of  tery 
early  carving  in  stone,  of  which  I  hope

120,  p.  Ml)  has  the  aame  accouDt. 
for  which  be  cites  Herodotus;  and 
adds  that  the  case  of  the  Getic  ladies 
was  exactly  parallel  with  that  of  the 
Indiau  wives,  who  were  buried  with 
their  husbaoils  ;  which  last  is  told  by 
Diodorus.  Cicero,  PropertiuSj  Strabo. 
Plutarch,  and  maiiy  otbers ;  but  not 
one  of  all  these  writers  says  a  syllable 
of  the  last  circumstaDce  of  the  story,  — 
vit.  of  the  new  lover's  appearing  at 
the  funeral  pile,  &c. 

The  [Kilygamy  of  the  Thracians  is 
mentioned  by  Strabo  (lib.  I ,  p.  397)^ 
by  Euripides  (Androm.  215).  and 
licraclide*  (I>c  Pol.  p.  20,  cd.  Jcnens,) 
which  last  adds,  that,  at  the  death  of 
the  husband,  the  wives,  like  the  rest 
of  hl-i  estate,  descended  to  his  heir.  1 
thought  we  might  have  discovered  the 
iiieaiiiog  of  the  word  Fatum  (ia  which 
the  whole  didiculty  of  the  passage 
lie6).by  the  help  of  some  parallel  place 
in  l\  Mela;  but  the  word,  1  think,  oc- 
curs but  once  more  in  his  hook.(i.  7.) 
and  there  it  manifestly  signifies  dtalk, 
or  destruction  ;  which  sense  can  never 
agree  with  this  place.  Nor  can  I  find 
these  two  words.  Falum  Jacentis, 
coupled  together,  in  any  other  writer 
but  Val.  FIftccus  (I.  2.  v.  216.)  "  Tot 
siderum  facies — tot  Fata  jacentum  ;" 
i.  e.  tot  mortfs,  or.  mortium  genera. 


As  in  Locan.  C9-73S,)  "Tot  tristia 
fata  suoruiD."  Tacitus  (Hist.  3,  28.) 
has  the  same  sense  in  other  words : 
"  Varia  pereuntium  forma,  et  omni 
imagine  mortium." 

Isaac   VossiuB   (you  told  me)  rap- 
poses   Fatum   to  signify  the  ghost  of 
the  dead  husband  ;  and  explains  it  by 
the  example  of  Euthymua,  in  Pausa- 
nias  (fi,  355.)     The  same  story  is  re- 
lated bv  Strabo.  (6,  255,)  and  by  J*:iian 
(Var.  Mist,  ft,  IB.)  But  I  wish  he  hail 
produced  one  single  instance  from  any 
approved  writer,  where  Fatum  signi. 
fies  a  gbo5t.  I  am  sure,  after  the  nar- 
rowest search.  1  can  find  nothing  like 
it.  But  I  have  another  objection  still; 
which  will  bear  hard  upon  this  hypo- 
thesis. The  Thracian  ladies  were  pas- 
sionately food  of  their  husbands,  as 
appears   by  their  contending    to    die 
with    them,    as    the    Indian    wives, 
whom    Stobaeas    compares    with  the 
Tliracian,  most  certainly  were  ;  as  we 
know   from  Plutarch   (An   improbitas 
ButBcial  ad  infeticltatero,  p.  8S6.)  Val. 
Max.  (li.  6),  and   Pmpertius   (iii.  l6*  [ 
17-)     Upon  this  supposition,  can  anj^j 
one  imagine  that  the  new  lovers  could  J 
recommend  themselves  to  the  favour) 
of  their  mistresses,  or  pretend  to  com-  f 
Tort  them  for  missing  the  honour  ot^ 
following  their  husbands  to  the  other 
world,  by  challenging  his  ghost,  and  ; 
killing  him  over  again  }    This  would 
have  been  a  degree  of  cruelty  in  the  j 
widows  beyond  the  Kphcsian  Matron*  * 
wlu>  only  cruciUvd  the  dead  Iwdy  ati 
her  husband,  which  had  lost  all  senstt 
of  pain.     For  these  reasons,  I  am  a[)t  | 
think    Isaac  V^ossius  has  mistaken  tht 
meaning  of  tliia  place.     I   shall  now  | 
propose  my  own  etplanalion,  which  I 
consider  only  aB  a  prubabte  opioion* , 
and  am  ready  at  all  times  to  give  it  ! 
up  to  better  reasoaa.  "  They  who  had

1  look  the  hiat  of  this  ioterpreta> 
tion  from  Rialaru,  (Epist.  M .)  'trotftot 
tHu  *m  ri  wpas  aorffr  f  iVi  ^  toi*  pat^tar 
owXa  ttpofuvvw,  h.c.  which  U  not  only 
tbt  w&M.  but  almost  a  verbal  tr&oitla- 
tioD  of  Mela.  This  cipositioo  is  agree- 
able to  tbe  character  of  the  wives,  and 
the  whole  tenor  of  tbe  relatioo.  Could 
there  be  a  more  gallant  way  for  tbe 
loTers  to  make  their  court  to  soch  af* 
fcctiooate  wires,  then  to  challenge 
boldly  the  power  that  murdered  the 
hasbaad  i  And  could  there  be  a  bet- 
ter way  to  cocnfort  them,  than  to 
tet  them  sec  no  method  wa^  left 
untried  lo  raise  him  from  the  ^rave? 
Nor  is  it  less  coosiateot  with  the 
Ueatheo  scbeme  of  Tbeology.  There 
are  examples  enough  in  the  poetical 
hi»tor\-,  of  persons  restored  to  life : 
which  Hygious  (F.  asi).  andClaQdiao 
(De  B.  G.  V.  438.)  bare  collected  to 
my  hand  ;  of  which  I  shall  single  oat 
two  as  a  specimen  of  the  rest.  Eo- 
Ttpidca  (Aloest.  1140.)  says  that  Her- 
cvleseocDanteredSoionir,  i.  e.  Hadea. 
or  Pluto,  as  he  is  explained  by  Macro* 
bins  (Sat.  b,  19.)  Apollodoras  (p.  47). 
— and  Tzctze*  (Chil.  ii.  Hist.  53.)  at 
the  grave  of  Atcsetis.  and  compelled 
him  by  downright  force  to  restore  ber 
to  life.  There  is  one  circum&taoce  in 
this  story  which  reroarkabtv  agrees 
with  this  passage  of  Mela— that  this 
comlwt  between  Hercutea  and  IMalo 
was  fought  at  tbe  burying  place  of  Al- 
cestis,  where  Pluto  was  come  tn  lick 
up  the  blood  of  the  deceased^an  enter- 
tainment which  out  only  the  Infernal 
Gods  (as  we  know  from  this  passage) 
but  also  the  ghosts  (Hum.  Od.  ii :  Sit. 
It.  13,  V.  441),  and  all  tbe  evil  genii 
or  darraons  (of  which  more  Ikorcarter), 
ma  we  are  aasoTod  by  forphyry  (de 
Abstin.  I.  6.  c.  A'i),  were  very  fond  of. 
My  other  Instance  i»  llippntytue,  or

restored  to  life— (Pind.  Pyth.  3,  96. 
Sec.)  ;  and  Escnlapios  was  then  a  god, 
as  we  know  from  Pindar's  Scholiasl, 
and  from  Chid  (Mel,  'i.  67).  To 
match  this  relation  of  Mdi,  1  han- 
thus  produced  two  i  DitaBCas  of  penoos 
restored  to  life,  one  by  dint  of  force, 
the  other  of  money ;  and  it  is  vcrv 
probable  that,  from  the  belief  of  men 
poetical  nctions,  this  ridicuh>[u  cuataa 
of  theHiraciana  took  its  rue.  Il  is 
true,  there  is  DoihiDg  expmaly  said  io 
Ihia  passage  of  restoring  the  dead 
husband  to  life,  but  if  the  sense  1 
have  given  to  Fatum  be  the  trite  one, 
all  the  rest  will  follow  of  cunrBC  ;  fo« 
the  lovers  could  treat  with  the  powers 
that  murdered  him  vcith  no  othar 
view  than  to  raise  bim  from  tbe  dead  ; 
and  this  objection  will  hold  as  strongly 
B^inst  the  exposition  of  Vussiai ;  for 
there  is  not  a  srllable  said  in  Mtla 
that  the  lovers  were  to  fight,  or  tra«U 
with  the  husband's  ghost,  in  order  to 
buy  his  wivei,  or  win  them  by  force. 

Now  the  word  Faiwm,  when  it 
stands  for  a  person,  as  it  m&nifiestly 
does  in  this  place,  having  many  varioua 
significations,  it  remains  to  inquire  (a 
what  sense  It  is  to  be  Btiderstood  in  th 
passage  of  Mela.  The  Psrcx  are  styletl 
Fatn  by  A.  Geliios  (3>  l6,)  by  Pacaloa.^ 
(Paneg.  18),  by  Isidonis  (B,  tl).  by 
Fulgenlius  (Myth.  1.7.40).  Thereia 
auothrr  poetical  Fate — the  child  of; 
Nox  and  Erebus — mentioned  bv  Uy- 
ginns  (Pncf.  p.  1.)  and  by  CicrvQ 
(De  Nat.  Deor.  3,  17).  The  same  kt

by  Horace  (Od.  17.  lib.'  2.)  ami 
by  Scocca  (Here.  Oct.  1196.1660)— 
and  it  is  perhaps  this  Fate  that  Ptiala- 
rts  means  {wftot  avr^y  lioiitav) .  Jupitct 
is  called  Fattim  by  Seni-ca  (I>t  Bei

at  thp  bottom  slands  the  Hgure  of  For- 
lunr  wiih  Uer  wheeJ.  You  may  choose 
which  of  the  BPoses  you  pleaje,  but  in 
my  opinion  neither  of  them  will  suit 
this  place  {  for  the  poetic*!  Fates, 
with  Jupiter  and  Kurtuue,  are  common 
to  all  tnankinJ  without  distinction; 
whereas  Mela,  by  the  addition  o(  ja- 
«aUiM,  seems  maiiife&tly  to  imply  that 
he  meant  some  peculiar  ^d.  ar|)oiver, 
that  peculiarly  presided  over  this  single 
penun.  which  can  be  no  olher  than 
hu  (enl)  genius,  in  which  sense  Fatum 
ia  sometimes  osed ;  as  I  shall  pre- 
sently shew. 

Mr.  Dodwell,  in  his  Lectures  (p.  174) 
and  Seldcn  (ad  Mnrro.  Smym.  43) 
have  shewn  that 'rc;^,Aiu/t»*',  Fortune 
and  Geuius,  are  all  synonymous  terms 
for  the  same  thing.  I  shall  produce 
a  few  authorities  more  to  con6rm  this 
opinion.  Appian  (Ue  llcll.  Parth. 
367).  Plutarch  (De  Fort.  Roro.  570). 
So  Origen  iContr.  Cels.  8,  p.  42),  and 
vid.  Tcrt.  Apol.  c.  32.  Pindsr,  01.  8, 
aa,  Tvx9  ^'^t*'o»ov.  So  the  Tu;^  of  the 
Eraperor  waa  his  Suxi^tiiv.  or  Genius. 
There  are  many  coina  and  inscriptions 
to  the  same  purjiose.  So  Tu^.  in  Dto 
Caso.  (I.  73.)  is  the  same  with  Suuftxov. 
Ib  like  manoer,  Fortuna,  in  Amm.Mar- 
ccU.  (30.  5J  signities  genius,  as  will 
easily  appear  by  coropariog  it  with 
otber  pUces  of  the  same  author — 
(30.S«  31-14.  25-2U  As  I  have  al- 
ready observed  that  Katum  and  Fortune 
are  syOQoymnus  terms  fur  the  Supreme 
Fate,  so  there  are  many  examples  to  be 
met  with  in  the  Greek  and  Latin 
writers,  where  yimpa  and  Fatum  are 
iodifferently  used  in  the  same  sense  to 
signify  Tvx^.  or  Genius.  My  first 
iofttonce  shall  be  in  PlutsLrch  (De  Fort. 
Hum.  p.  677)  where,  in  the  compass  of 
two  lines  Ti';^,  Moifxi,  and  StufiMv,  arc 
promiscnOQsly  used  for  the  genius  of 
Roma  and  Pompcy ;  which  Juvenal 
has  likewise  coupled  together  (Sat.  10, 
T.  28S,)  "Fortuna  ipsius  ct  orbis." 
Aad  the  same  author,  in  his  book  de 
Ttanqoill.  (p.  842,)  says,  we  are  go- 
verned by  OiTTai  Mnt/ia  KOR  ftai^orrr — 
(fride  Max.  Tyr.  Diss.  4.  p.  35.)  Thus 
io  the  Persw  of  ^.schylus.  (102.)  Motpa 
is  roasifestly  Itie  same  with  Aoi/twi' 
<l5a},  as  Stanley  has  rightly  observed 
in  hu  nutes.  Aristophanes  joins  them 
together  (Tbermophor.  824).     So  Ho- 


mer {Odys.   It,  V.  61)  says  iuuftaifot 
m<rn  kokt/.     An  for  the  Latin  writurs, 
Symmachas.  in  his  famous  represen- 
tation in  the  name  of  the  Senate  to  the 
Emperor  Valentioiau,  styles  the  tute- 
lary god  of  cities  and  countries  Fatalis 
Geaius~(£p.  61.  1.  2U),    and    Pro- 
dentius  iu  his  Reply  (I.  2,  v.  74),  calls 
the  same  god  "  aut  Fatum  aut  Genius." 
He  says  the  same,  v.  372.   423.  449. 
and  at  v.   404,  terms  him  "umbram 
sive  animam" — where,  by  the  way, 
"umbra"  docs  not  signify  a  ghost, 
but  a  phantom — (t.  390,  7)*      So  Pc- 
tronius  (c.  104.  p. 483).  (Burm.>"To- 
litantibus  umbris;"  Ovid  (Met.   14. 
362).  Silius  ItalicuB.  (17,  536).  Virgil 
(Mn,'  6,    SjH;   10,  636),  which  last 
place — "tenuem  sine  vinltus  umbram." 
I    believe   Prudentius  had  in  bis  eye 
when  he  wrote  v.  396.  7.     Nor  does 
anima   signify  a  human   soul,  but  a 
spirit — (JEn.  10,  37C.)  which  presided 
over  port  of  the  world,  as  Plato's  ^sioui 
MuHoi  did  over  the    whole.       llius 
Amm.  Mar.  (19. 12),  speaking  of  Con- 
stautius,   has  these   words — "  Fatum 
ejus  vigenasamperetpnesensinsbotcu- 
dis  adversa  conantibus  " — where,  no 
one  can  doubt  but  by  Fatum  he  means 
the  Emporor'3  yatiiu,  that  comparesthis 
place  with  lib.  20,  5-21.  14-25.  2-3U, 
5.  and  with  Plutarch's  description  of 
the  Genius  of  Antonius  and  Octavius 
(Ant.  1703.  de  Fort.   Rom.  570)-— Si- 
donius  (Panei;.  Majorian.  v.  63.   vid. 
Bartb.  ad  Claud.  3.   Hon.  Cons.  67.). 
has  used  the  word  in  the  same  sense ; 
and  it  ia  worth  ronsidering  whether 
we  ought  not  to  interpret  in  the   sama 
sense   Bono  Fato,  iu  two  inscriptions 
which  I  find  in  Grater's  Index ;  and 
FatMM  mulmt,  in  two  other  inscriptions 
produced  by  Burman  (sd    Pelron.   c* 
42,  p.  19t,  Fleet.  Syll.  Inscript.  221,4» 
"  Virgincm    cripuit     Fatus     malus.") 
And   the  same    words   in   the   Traw 
Fragm.  of  Petronius  (c.  42, 71).  which 
last,    though  a  horrid    barbarism,  ars 
Buitable  enough  to  the  character  of  bis< 
speakers,  who  in  llietr  great  skill  might 
think  that  the  word,  when  \X  stood  for  j 
a  |»erson,  must  of  coarse  be  ofthe  mas-  4

c&Ued  by  Clearcboi.  (apod  Atheo.  L. 
12,  p.  541,)  the  AXatrrmp,  or  EWI 
Gcnjoa  of  Sicily. 

Id  aUosioD  to  this  sense  of  Fhttim. 
wbeo  it  meaoft  on  Evil  G«nius,  the 
word  bu  befD  applied  to  si^ify  aoy- 
tfaing  that  was  the  ruin  or  de»lnictioo 
or  another.  For  this  reason,  Ovid 
calta  Hercules  and  Achilles  "TroJK 
duo  Fata"  (Fast.  5.  369.  So  Justin. 
(31,  I.)  8ay&,  the  arrows  of  Hercules 
'' iatam  Trojic  fuerr."  "  Huic  fatuto 
dan  paella  fuit,"  says  Propcrtio*  (ii. 
I,  86,)  aiid  Arnobius  »ayB  of  Helen 
(i.  5,)  that  she  was  "dirum  tui$ 
tempurtbus  fatutn ;  "  and  Cicero  (pro 
Sext.  43.)  "Uao  ilia  rcipublics  ptsue 
Fata,"  speaking  of  Fiso  and  Gabmias. 

The  examples  I  have  produced  do 
fully  prove  that  Fatum  oftentimes  sig< 
nifics  a  geniut.  It  is  not  my  business 
to  inquire  nicely  into  the  nature  and 
properties  of  these  genii,  and  what 
opinion  the  ancients  entertained  of 
them :  for  that  I  s.ha]l  refer  you  to 
Plutarch,  Max.  Tyrius.  Apalcius,  An* 
gustin  "  dc  deo  Socmttf,"  and  Censo- 
rious, who  have  largely  treated  of  this 
subject.  1  shall  only  observe  that  the 
ancients  allotted  to  every  man  two 
geuii,  a  good  and  abadone;  to  which 
last  they  a»cribed  all  the  calamities  and 
misfortunes  that  befell  them.  It  must 
be  owned  that  some  of  the  ancient 
writers  seem  to  allow  but  of  one 
genius,  lu  Horace,  (1.  2,  Ep.  2,  v. 
187.),  Meoander  (apud  Plot.  &42J 
Marcetlinus  (in  the  places  already 
cited),  and  Callimachus  (Hymn,  ad 
Ccr.  V.  32)  ;  though  this  laat  author 
plainly  contradicts  himself  in  the 
Fragro.  Bentl.  (p.  342).  But  most  of 
these  authors  suppose  that  the  same 
genius  was  both  the  good  and  the  bad 
one  at  different  times,  which  will  suit 
well  with  my  hypothesis ;  as  the 
opinion  of  the  other  writers,  who  make 
two  different  eues,  w^hich  was  the 
mure  popular  and  prcvailias  one,  oa

The  ancients  atipposed  that  all  the 
actions  and  events  of  the  Uvea  of  men* 
were  directed  by  these  genii ;  but  still 
with  a  depcodence  on  the  Sapirme 
Fate  that  governed  alt. "  Salva  firmi. 
tatefatali,"  taTsMarceUiuas(2l.  14) 
i.  e.  "  Salva  ri  ac  potestate  Kstorum, 
as  Seneca  (Nat.  Quaest.  2,  37)  s«. 
on  another  occasion ;  so  these  gesil 
were  considered  as  theministrrs  of 
SapeKor  Fate ;  and  to  the  evil  one,  14 
particular,  all  mischiefs  and  disaaters,! 
with  death  itself,  were  very  freqocnUf 
ascribed  by  the  old  writers.  Thia. 
appear  from  almost  all  the  in»i 
have  produced  in  the  preceding 
graph.  This  notion  was  likewise 
poosed  by  the  pbiloaophera  ;  for  Hi*- 
rocles  (ad  Aor.  Carm.  7-  27*.  Ed- 
Caat.)  makes  the  hour  of  our  death 
depend  00  the  will  and  pleasure  of  our 
genius.  You  may  find  other  cxamplea 
of  this  kind  among  the  poets ;  as 
Hennesiaoax  (ap.  Alheo.  Lib.  13,  p. 
598) ;  and  very  frequently  amoQg 
tragedians,  which,  for  brevity^'s  sake, 
shall  pass  over.  Nor  is  there  any  dtf* 
Hculty  upon  the  foot  of  the  Pagan  ays- 
tern  of  philosophy,  to  suppMe  that  a 
mortal  man  might  encounter  a  geniua. 
Hercules,  as  I  have  already  observed, 
vanquished  the  dcufioiwK  m.oipa»n%, 
(Eorip.  Ale.  1140,)  Pluto  himself,  in 
a  single  combat,  and  wounded  bim 
upon  another  occastoo  (Apotlod.  13U; 
Sen.  Here.  Fur.  5t>3).  And  two  of 
thi'  first-rate  Gods,  Mars  and  Venusj 
were  wounded  and  driven  out  of  tbo 
Ueld  by  Diomed  (Hum.  II.  b.  5)  \ 
it  was  much  easier  to  deal  with  tiMt 
genii,  who  were  of  the  lower  form  of 
the  Gods — "  de  plebe  Dcos"  {3en. 
Ep.  1 10),  and  by  many  ibought  murtal 
(Plot,  dc  Defect.  Orac.  743;  Hor.  b.

I  M6Ded  a  notion  to  eater  into  the  heads 
of  such  barbarians  as  the  Thrnci&ns ; 
but  it  »  well  known  that  Orpheus,  a 
ThraclaD.was  reputed  the  chief  founder 
of  the  Greek  Theology  and  Mysteries 
(Diodor.  I.  I.  p.  86.  1.  4.  p.  232; 
Tittan.  c.  1  ;  Clem.  Alex.  Prutrep.  p. 
3.)  and  hi»  countryman  Eumolpus  is 
by  many  thought  the  first  introducer 
of  the  KieuBinino  Mysteries  {vJd.  Sca- 
lig.  ad  Euseb.  Chr^n.  39.)  Ilut  to 
leave  no  room  for  this  exception,  it  is 
manifest  from  Plutarch  (Je  Defect. 
Orac.  p.  738.)  that  Orpheus  waa  ac- 
quainted with  this  power  of  the  genii ; 
otherwise  he  would  never  have  ranked 
him  in  the  nnmher  of  those  theologists 
-who  passed  for  the  first  discoverers  of 
it;  and  Uiodorus  says  that  he  first 
brought  into  Greece  the  mythology  or 
fabulous  history  of  hell. 

Before  this  time  I  suppose  I  have 
tired  you  as  well  as  myself  with  so 
long  a  letter,  and  such  a  heap  of  quo- 
tations,  which  was  unavoidable  in  this 
dispute.  As  for  the  exposition  I  have 
given  of  this  pasaagcof  P.Mela,  I  won't 
warrant  it  fur  a  demonstration  ;  but  I 
shall  think  it  more  probable  than  that 
of  Isaac  Vnssius,  till  I  see  it  well 
proved  that  Falum  may  signify  the 
ghost  of  a  dead  man.  But,  whether 
It  be  right  or  wrong,  I  entirely  submit 
it  to  your  judgment  and  L)r.  Mus- 
grave's. 

P.  S,  This  letter  was  writ  just  after 
mr  last,  as  yuu  will  easily  see  by  the 
colour  of  the  paper.  I  had  this  ad- 
vantage of  its  Lyiog  so  long  before  me, 
tlial  when  I  perused  it  over  again,  it 
was  with  the  indifference  and  impar- 
tiality with  which  we  read  other  peo- 
ple's works.  The  judgment  I  make  of 
it  is,  that  my  sense  is  more  subtle  and 
far-fetched,  and  that  of  Vosnius  the 
more  plain,  simple,  and  natural.  I 
apeak  this  upon  a  supposition  that  the 
word  /■o/iim  may  sic;nify  a  ghost;  for, 
till  that  is  well  proved,  I  must  prefer 
my  own  loterprctntion.  The  word  in 
that  sense  is  certainly  pretty  rare,  nor 
do  I  remember  to  have  once  met  with 
it;  and  t  wonder  V^ossius  hod  pro- 
duced no  parallel  instance  to  support 
his  exposinoo.  Seneca  (de  Kiilio) 
says,  "  Ret  est  sacra  miser ;  noli  mea 
tangvrc /(ita  ;"  but/a/o  there  sign iflcs, 
not  moHM,  but  cadaver,  and  in  one  of 
these  scn*c8  it  occurs  likewiie  in  Pro-

[Mr.  Ileynolds,  in  a  letter  to  Mr. 
Moyle,  dated  May  30,  1719.  makes  the 
following  remarks:  "  Your  admirable 
discDurAQ  u{K)u  Mela's  /'Wum  jacvtdu 
has  fully  cont inced  me,  and  (I  believe) 
would  toe  whole  world,  that  Vossius 
is  in  the  wrong.  No  one  certainly 
will  pass  the  hard  censure  of  the  author 
himself  upon  it,  'that  Vassius's  sense 
is  the  more  plain,  simple,  and  natural,' 
even  if  Fatnm  can  be  proved  ever  to 
signify  a  ghost,  which  must  be  very 
rare.  Your  way  indeed  of  making 
out  your  sense  of  the  word  seems  to 
me  too  hoe  for  the  vulgar;  and  re- 
quires a  reader  that  has  considered 
the  Elcathen  Theology  philosophically, 
and  well  digested  such  books  as  Phur- 
nutus  and  Sallusttus  de  Diis,  a  great 
partof  Macrobtus,  and  (of  the  moderns) 
Vossius  deTheologiaGentilium.  1  am 
myself  one  of  the  vulgar,  and  my 
studies  that  way  have  been  hitherto 
employed  in  dialioguiBhiog  the  Hea- 
then deities,  which  is  necessary  for 
those  of  the  lower  forms  in  learning; 
and  I  am  not  yet  arrived  to  that 
highest  pitch  of  learning  (as  I  account 
it)  that  proves  them  to  be  but  one 
God,  coBbidercd  according  to  his  dif- 
ferent attributes." 

In  answer  to  this  Mr.  Moyle  only  ' 
says,  "  I  am  very  much  obliged  to  you  ^ 
for  thinking  better  of  my  discnurse  on 
Mela  than  it  deserves ;  and  shall  be 
mighty  glad  to  see  your  objectioos ; 
but  I  am  so  Utile  versed  in  the  philo- 
aophieal  theology  of  the  ancients,  that 
I  des[iair  of  being  able  to  answer 
them."]

ON  THE  TESTAMENTARY  JUKISOICTION  OF  THE 
ECCLESIASTICAL  COUUTS.t 

No.  II. — ^Tbb  ABcaBiaaop'ft  PnaROBATrrB. 


Mb.  Ubdak. 

HAVING,  in  a  previous  nnmher  of 
yoor  esteemed  Periodical,  traced  the 
origin  and  establishment  of  the  Testa- 
mentary Jurisdiction  of  the  English 
Ecclesiastical  Courts,  I  now  propose 
to  enumerate  and  describe  the  scTeral 
channels  into  which  the  new  spiritual 
privilege  was  afterwards  derived,  tn 
ronfonnity  with  the  general  system  of 
Ecclesiastical  Law. 

We  have  aeen  that  the  power  of  ad- 
ministering the  personal  estate  of  an 
intestate  was  by  Ma^a  Charta  con- 
ferred upon  tlie  Cburch.    But  tliat  in-

ing  the  juriwUctinii  previously  belong, 
ing  to  the  Cborcli.*  To  begin  with  th« 
towtrtt  order  iu  the  hierarchy,  vir..  the 
AfChdcacOD.  He  held  pleius  of  critni- 
oal  matters,  and  ioipo.ied  public  pe< 
Daoce  upon  lay  or  clcncal  oiTendera. 
The  cognizance  of  tefttamcntary  auita 
appears  also  to  have  been  conceded  to 
him.t  The  Dnns  and  Chapters  of 
cathedral  churches*  had  a  similar  ju- 
risdiction, including,  also,  the  exclu* 
eive  privilege  of  determining  all  matri- 
reoninl  disjjittcs  urtsing  within  their 
precinct.  Uut  the  uri)inar>-,  from 
whom  the  aulbority  of  the  furnier  waa 
entirely  borrowed,  woa  the  Uishop. 
Th«  corrective  jari»diction  belonged 
to  h  rm  by  the  divine  right  of  hift  npos- 
^fc  office,  and  »uch  other  authority 
B^fce  wa«  possessed  of  had  been  the 
gncluDlly  accumulated  gifl  of  the 
princes  of  Kurope. 

Tlic  Archbishop  was  of  course  au< 
perior  tu  all.  Being  legate  uf  the 
holy  see,  as  well  as  metropolitan,  he 
enjoyed  not  only  an  appellate  juris- 
diction  in  all  cases  previously  laid  be- 
fore the  diocesan,  but  might  proceed 
firima  iustantia  in  any  matter  which 
fell  within  the  cocnizancc  of  the 
Church.  As  metropolitan  or  legate, 
he  was  concurrent  ordinary  with  every 
bishop  in  his  diocese.  This  authority 
was  nut  confined  to  the  clergVi  but 
extended  over  the  whole  body  of  the 
laity,  who  were  as  immediately  sub- 
ject to  the  Arcbbiihop  as  they  were 
to  their  diocesan  or  bis  archdeacon. 
Tlic  eitraordinarv  power  of  the  lega- 
tion amply  supphed  any  deJiciency  in 
thc^ut  ttwlrojntlitintm.l 

Such,  (hen,  Uung  the  constitution 
of  the  Church,  each  uf  the  bei'oremen- 
lioocd  oidtnaricfl  fell  within  the  scope 
and  meaning  of  the  C'harter  ;  for  none 
cualU  pretend  that  a  preference  was 


shown  to  him  under  the  very  general 
terms  of  that  instrument. 

But  the  Bishops  were  not  incliaed 
to  put  so  liberal  a  construction  upon 
the  wonis  of  the  Charter.  They  relied 
upon  foreign  precedent,  and  upon  the 
Continent  both  (he  civil  and  canon 
laws  concurred  in  declaring  that  pro- 
bate of  wills  was  (he  right  of  the  epis- 
copal order  alonc.^  The  English 
Bishops,  therefore,  contended  that 
this  new  concession  to  the  Church 
in  England  was  to  be  regulated  by 
those  laws,  and  consequently,  that  it 
belonged  to  them  alone ;  or  at  least  con- 
joiotly  with  their  inferiors  the  Arch- 
deacons and  I3eans.  So  far  as  regards 
tbe  metropolitan,  they  asserted  au 
uncompromising  monopoly. 

But  during  tbe  period  immediately 
following  the  origin  of  this  privilege, 
the  Metropolitan  would  appear  to  have 
been  in  no  degree  solicitous  to  advance 
his  title  to  a  participation  in  it.  Of 
his  own  option  he  seems  never  to  have 
attempted  to  claim  a  concurrent  or  co- 
ordinate jurisdiction  with  the  sufira- 
gans  of  his  province. 

After  some  time,  however,  it  be- 
came apparent  that  there  were  rases 
in  which  the  system  of  probate  from 
each  diocesan  was  productive  of  many 
and  serious  inconveniences.  For  ex* 
ample,  whenever  a  person  led  effects 
within  any  dioceses  besides  that  in 
which  he  died,  his  executors,  or  his 
next  of  kin  (for  the  cose  would  be  tjie 
same),  were  compelled  to  extract  the 
necessarr  probate,  or  letter  of  admiuis- 
tratioo,  in  each  separate  jurisdiction. 
The  estate  of  the  deceased  was  conse- 
quently ex|K)sed  tu  enormoiu  detri- 
ment ;  and  instances  would  occur 
where  the  property  might  be  wholly 
exhausted  in  the  mere  preparatory 
expenses  of  probate,  and  tiic  creditor*

expenses  of  obtaining  the  ordin«ry*:i 
•eal. 

Ptesstng  applications  for  relief  (nm 
legatees  and  creditora,  distressed  by 
th«  insufficiency  of  an  estAte  which  had 
saffrred  in  this  manner,  were  made  to 
the  Arcbliishop  from  all  quarters. 
They  urged  him  to  interpose  his  me- 
ttopohtiral  Authority,  and  himself  at- 
anme  the  admininration  of  the  de- 
OMued's  C4tat«. 

His  right  even,  as  metropolitan,  to 
inteifere  in  the  peculiar  jurisdiction  of 
the  suffragan  ws^  admitted  by  the 
canon  law  on  certain  occasions,  and 
this  could  be  fairly  shown  to  be  one  of 
those  cases.  The  negligence,  or 
rather  the  inability  of  the  diocesan,  to 
afford  his  subject  laity  their  full  mea- 
sure  of  justice,  was  a  sufficient  justi- 
Bcation  in  law  for  a  direct  interfer- 
ence of  the  Arcbbishop.t  He  had  for 
some  time  forborne  the  exertion  of 
his  right  as  metropolitan,  out  of  con- 


sideration for  the  pritrilegn  of  his  taf- 
fragana,  or  perhaps  a  fear  tn  encroach 
upon  what  they  had  hitherto,  tboajj^ 
crronconsly,  considered  their  peculiar 
prerogative. 

The  exact  epoch  when  the  Arch- 
bishop first  interfered,  is  not  very  clear, 
but  we  may  approximate  to  it  tolera 
blv  welt  It  IS  probable  that  the  pr«< 
rogativc  had  been  asserted,  and  t' 
Archbishop  bad  lent  a  helping  hand 
the  suitors  in  his  proiincc  before  tbt' 
middle  of  the  reign  of  Henry  thci 
Third,  and  the  energy  of  Boniface 
might  justify  vs  in  giving  him  crci 
for  so  happy  a  prorisioo.  It  i^ 
that  the  Archbishop  found  no  frieoda 
to  the  eiertion  of  this  right  amooffst 
the  Bishops,  who  firmly  refused  to  re- 
cognize it  as  a  (air  exeicise  of  theyu 
wutropolHiatm  ;  and  this  nrcteosion  uf 
the  Archbishop  became  the  ingnal  for 
a  contest  between  him  and  his  aufiv, 
gans.  which  continaed  for  aearij 
centnry. 

The  argument  put  forward  by  tlv 
Bishops  on  this  occasion,  that  the 
granting  of  probates  or  letters  of  ad- 
ministration belonged  to  them  as  tht 
ordinerii  locf,  was  admitted 
part  of  the  Archbishop ;  but 
tended  that  he  was  local 
thronzhout  the  whole  of  hts 
having,  as  metropolitan,  a  co-e 
authority  with  each  diocesan, 
also  declared  that  bis  re«aon  Sat  thift'

relation  to  their  inferiors,  tbe  Arch-

cases  only  where  the  deceased  had 
pmooul  effctria  in  iltircrenl  archdea- 
conries or  other  jurisdictions ;  other- 
wi&e,  they  admitti-d  the  jurisdiction  of 
the  inferior  judge  to  Iw  well  founded. t 

The  Archbishup  pursued  bis  course 
in  spite  of  the  rcmonstroncen  of  liia 
diocrsan^ ;  hut  in  \2&^,  whilst  the 
content  was  still  rife,  the  papal  legale 
Octobuui  arrived  in  Otis  country,  with 
full  powers  for  reforming  the  condi- 
tion and  discipline  of  the  Englifth 
Church.  He  directed  hi^  attcntioii  to 
this  matter  ;  and  with  the  view  of  re- 
moving for  the  future  all  uccHxion  for 
dispute  on  the  subject,  as  regarded  the 
estates  of  heneticed  cIcrgyiacD,  ho 
enacted,  that  where  a  tr&tator,  during

ycrs  did  not  attempt  tu  extend  itr 
meaning  into  any  constructive  appli- 
catinn  to  the  ca^e  of  the  laity.  Thia 
conbtituti'in  left  the  question  as  opea 
ad  it  found  it ;  and  the  metmpolitan 
watt  not  barred  from  persevering  in 
the  conduct  which  he  had  adopted.^

Tbe  utmost  limit  of  ecclesiastical 
proscription,  which  amounts  to  forty 
years  only,  was  now  long  since  elapsed, 
when  John,  the  Bishop  of  the  extensive

dispute;  and  on  the  27lh  of  March,

commenced  proceeding!  at  an  earlier

been  InconvenitDt  to  proceed  in  a

dignity  of  the  primacy,  against  the 
mere  aimmialtattr  tftirifuaUum  tt 
ltmp§raiimm,  appoinle'd  during  the  sus- 
pension of  the  archbishop. 

The  parties,  being  at  issue,  stated 
their cftR  as  follows:  Kin>t.  the  Bt- 
•bop  of  Lincoln  coatcniled  ihat  t)ie 
proof  of  wiUs*  the  cooiuiiasion  of  «d-

they  may  liave  died,  and  the  cocnizance

cutora  of  wilU,  so  far  as  regarded  the 
effects  actually  existent  tn  his  own 
episcopal  city  and  diocese,  appertained 
tu  him  and  his  church  of  Lincoln,  both 
by  law  and  custom. 

The  Archbishop's  case  lay  la  small 
space.  He  denied  the  allegations  of 
his  suffragan,  throwing  upon  him  the 
burthen  of  protrng  them.  This  he  waa 
by  law  entitled  to  du,  having  now  the 

Crtsio  ttatuK  and  prescription  on

the  character  of  dt>f-ndnnt,  he  could

Testamentary  JHrisdidion  of  the  Ectifsiasticat  Courts.      [Dec. 


bers  and  his  brother  Steplien,  arlergy- 
mon,  iDailvcrtendv  proveit  the  will  of 
their  niothet  Dame  Alice  before  the 
Btftbop  uf  Rncheater.  It  was  oftrr- 
warilHili<icDvcr(><l  ihnt  the  ti^latrix  h&d 
effecu  olso  in  thr  dioccsL*  of  Cao- 
terbury.  and  in  other  dioceses  o(  that 
province.  They  were  accordiogly 
compelled  to  re-prove  the  will  before 
the  nrchbishop,  who  admlDistered  the 
oath  in  penton  ou  the  tHth  day  of 
June  1334,  at  the  chapel  of  his  maoor 
of  Otford  lu  Kent.  The  probate  states 
tliftt  "  the  approbation  and  registration 
of  wdl»  under  similar  circuin}.tance9 
is  well  known  specially  to  belong  to 
the  Arcbbi&hop  by  the  prerogative  of 
his  church  of  Canterbury." 

In  the  same  year,  during  tlic absence 
of  the  Archbishop  on  the  Continent, 
wc  finii  the  will  of  a  London  citizen 
re-proved  bcfoie  the  Vicar  Ctenvrul 
Adam  of Murymouth,  the  well-known 
historian  of  the  tirae«.  This  will  was 
in  the  first  instance  erroneously  proved 
before  the  Arclnlcacon  of  Surrey,  who 
id  dracribed  as  consenting  to  the  can- 
cellation of  bis  own  probate*  on  the 
ground  of  it^  having  been  (granted 
contrary  to  the  approved  custom  of 
the  church  of  Canterbury.* 

Presuming;  on  the  cotDpromiae  be- 
tween the  metropolitan  and  tlie  biivbu]) 
ofLiacolo,  Lbe  ecdebiastical  Iawvcta 


of  the  age  proposed  to  elTcct  a  moUtft- 
catinn  of  the  general  evil  by  introdot- 
ing  into  England  the  regulation  of  the 
Canon  law  on  the  subject.  By  the 
decretals  of  Greeory  the  Ninth  the 
probate  of  a  will  granted  by  the  local 
ordinary  in  whoMJarlsrliction  the  Irs* 
tator  died,  was  a  proof  ftofliciently 
efTectual  for  all  other  dioceaes  where 
he  pu&ae^sed  property,  and  Ibose  other 
ordinaries  were  competent  only  to 
commit  admini«tratian  and  pas»  the 
accounts  of  the  effecU  situate  nritfaia 
their  respective  dioceses,  t 

But  this  principle  o(  law  was  never 
acknowledsed  in  Dnglnnd.  encrpt  in 
the  special  ca^^e  before  mcntinned  of 
the  Bishop  of  Lincoln.  It  was  a  half- 
measure,  that,  if  carried  into  practice 
genprallv,  would  havealTnrdcd  no  satis- 
faction cither  to  the  nation  or  the  con- 
tending parties.  But  this  project 
existed  only  m  the  suggestive  miD<l« 
of  the  commoDtatora.  Johnof  Athon» 
who  has  a  proposition  to  thii  effect, 
has  the  appearance  of  theorising  only, 
and  nt  the  same  time  reftrictv  bra  re- 
marks to  beneficed  clerks  ;  and  Lyndc* 
wode  alludes  to  it  merely  a»  an  otnolcte 
point  of  law«  long  over-ri>]d«a  and 
determined  by  a  contrary  preocHptitt 
usage.; 

The  exemption  from  the  general  law

short  duration.  Its  impoliry.  if  not 
injustice,  was  evident;  and' in  1354 
Simon -Ulipc,  the  Archhiihop,  recnilcd 
the  privilege  which  hin  prcUcce-situr 
bad  granted,  and  rtJucid  the  fl«c  of 
Lincida  to  it»  former  6tatc  of  subjec- 
tion ;  ftnd  wheneter  the  Bishup  in- 
truded himnrlf  into  the  peculiar  juris- 
diction of  the  tnelropolitan.  he  waa 
compelled  to  buliroit  to  the  same  con- 
trol which  was  exerrrst'd  ovtr  the  rest 
ofhisepiftcopa-l  brelhrun.*  An  instance 
nf  the  kind  occure<l  in  13C2,  Henry 
Duke  of  Lancoi^tcr  had  dietl  at  Leices- 
ter, and  heen  Imrtcd  in  the  cnllcgiato 
church  of  Our  Lady  in  that  town.  The 
Dbhop  of  Lincoln,  presuming  on  the 
ctrcum^tAiice  of  that  nobleman  having 
died  in  hia  dioceAc,  proceeded  to  ap- 
prove the  will,  and  in  the  month  of 
April  in  the  same  year  administered  to 
the  executors  at  the  ca^itle  of  Leice&ter 
the  n«ual  oath  or  execution.  But  the 
opposition  of  the  diorenan  was  now 
powerless,  and  the  grant  of  probate 
was.  in  the  followini;  month,  repeated^ 
by  V»'illiain  of  Witlcscye.  the  official 
of  the  Arches  court. 

The  alxive  fact  also  shews  that  the 
etercise  of  this  privilege  of  the  metro- 
politan was  then  conducted  on  a  sys- 
tematic plan,  admitting  of  no  infriuge- 
mcnt  on  the  part  of  the  bishops.^ 

It  vtia,  probnlily,  during  this  |)criod 
that  the  arciibiithop  obtainetl  the  sanc- 
tion of  the  Court  of  Home  til  his  en- 
joyment of  ibe  prerogative.  He  had 
not  applied  for  it  before,  for,  as  long  ait 
he  had  only  exvrted  this  right  in  o(ew 
and  isolated  instances,  it  could  not 
attnct  the  attention  of  that  cooit. 


But  06  soon  as  it  appeared  conspicu- 
ous as  an  inherent  and  integral  privi- 
lege of  the  mctrnpnlitan  sec,  and  as 
one  which  waa  aUo,  in  a  [loUtical 
view,  of  the  ntmast  consequence  to 
the  power  of  the  church,  it  became  an 
objecl  of  regard,  and  was  confirmed 
with  the  other  branches  of  the  Jut 
mftropoUticum.  The  omission  of  this 
amnncft  the  UMjal  and  undoubted  ap- 
pendages of  the  archiepiicopal  tiilo 
might  tend  to  invalidate  the  jurisdic- 
tion, especially  as  it  had  always  been 
asserted  to  be  a  spiritual  and  purely 
ecclesiastical  right,  which  had  existed 
in  the  p^vs^iessiun  of  the  church  for  an 
unlimited  period  of  pn*t>cription.^ 

It  will  have  been  observed,  that  at 
first  the  Archbishop  advanced  his  claim, 
oo  all  occasions  where  a  deceased 
person  left  perional  effects  in  several 
dioceses,  without  paying  any  regard  to 
its  comparative  value  or  amount.  But 
this  afterwards  underwent  a  consider- 
able modification ;  for  the  metropoli- 
tan, overcome  by  the  remonstrance*  of 
his  suffragans,  at  length  cou^iented  to 
relax  his  strict  right,  and  content  him- 
self  with  a  partial  enforcement  of  it : 
\h.  in  tho-ie  cases  only  where  the 
deceased  loft  bima  notabilia,  or  consider- 
able properly,  in  each  separate  dior 
cesc  or  peculiar  jurisdiction  of  his 
province. 

But  here  arose  a  fresh  subject  for 
contention.  An  uniform  standard  of 
nufafjility.  applicable  to  every  diocese. 
could  not  be  easily  established,  for  the 
estimate  of  properly  might  vary  in 
every  county  or  borough  according  to 
the  wealth  and  luxnrv  of  their  iohabi-

tftnts.  Accordingly  flifferent  arraoice- 
mcnts  were  mkdo  with  the  nictro|H)lt> 
tun  in  vnrious  (liocrtvs,  which  may, 
perhapH.  still  rfitinin  in  force  at  the 
present  tiny.  In  the  diocrse  ofl>on- 
don  a  compofiition  waa  at  tome  time 
effcctnl  brtwrcn  the  metropolitan  and 
the  bishop,  by  which  a  les»  suro  than

not  fallttiy  within  the  rule  which  con- 
atitnlcil  haaa  uatahilia.*  But  the  genc- 
nl  rule  WAS,  and  still  is,  that  the  de- 
komhI's  property  must  aiuount  to  the 
•urn  of  tlve  pounds  in  order  to  found 
the  interference  of  the  Archbishop. 
And  thit  if  atso  the  criterion  by  which 
the  Kcclesinslica)  Courts  test  the 
meiinti  ofn  suitor  who  applies  for  jus- 
tice, in/nrma  pnnprrit. 

Another  question  remains  ;f  for  the 
nuthurities  do  not  agree  aa  to  whether 
it  was  only  necessary  that  the  gross 
value  of  the  effects  in  the  separate 
dioccM>s  shonid  amount  to  iive  |>ounds. 
or  that  there  ^lluuld  be  thai  distinct 
Bum  in  onii  of  such  dioceses  at  tuust. 
But  the  foimer  opinion  is  in  all  pro- 
babitlty  the  most  correct  one;  for 
otherwise  the  smallest  estates  would 
bavc  lieen  exposed  to  the  greate!.t  ex- 
penses, and  to  those  very  evils  fur  the 
prevention  of  which  the  metropolitAD 
authority  was  so  hcaeticially  inter' 
posed  in  nil  other  coses.  Nor  could 
the  next  of  kin  or  executors  of  a  de-

it;  but  must  atld.  aa  coiicuirL-nt  evi.

NOTICES  OF  THE  CASTLE  AND  LORDSHIP  OP  LAUGH  ARNE. 
CAERMARTHENSHIRE. 

fConciudedfrom  p.  3^9.J 


J 


THE  parish  church  of  Laugbame  is 
dedicated  to  St.  Martin.  It  is  a  spa- 
cious and  handsome  edifice  of  uoiforio 
design,  in  the  form  of  a  cross  sur- 
mounted by  a  lofty  square  central 
tower.*  The  style  of  architectnre  is 
that  which  has  been  termed,  in  the 
modern  clasaificatiun  of  (lOthic  edi- 
fices, "perpendicular  English."  The 
arms  of  Bryan,  remnants  of  a  fii^re  of 
St.  George  the  patron  of  the  Garter, 
and  a  youthful  portrait  of  Edward  l}ie 
Third,  are  among  the  few  shattered 
portions  of  the  stained  glass  which 
formerly  decorated  the  windows  ;  in- 
dicating the  probability  that  the  pre- 
sent church  was  constructed  at  the 
expense  of  Sir  Guy  Bryan,  alter  he 
was  made  a  Knight  of  the  Garter^  per- 
haps about  the  year  1350. 

This  substantial  and  elegant  edifice 
has  suffered  much  from  barbarous  in- 
novations :  the  fjoely  proportioned 
rastern  window  has  lost  its  original 
mullions  ;  at  the  bock  of  the  altar  is  a 
range  of  decorated  niches  deprived  of 
the  tigurcs  which  they  formerly  en- 
ahrined.  much  mutilated  and  further 
disfigured  bydaubinga  of  yellow  ochre  ; 
the  division  of  the  floor  of  the  church 
in  to  three  ascending  grades  approaching 
the  altar  or  communion  table,  a  cir- 
cumstance observable  in  several  of  the 
^Vpl8h  churches,  has  been  moat  in- 
judiciously destroyed,  and  the  pave- 


ment ofthe  diaanl  ha»  dow  the  form 
of  an    inclined  plane    like  a  aQp 
launching  a  boat. 

On  the  north  side  of  the  chancrl  is 
a  low  attar   tomb,   the  front    foe*  of 
which   is  divided  into   four  comput- 
roents,  contatning  as  many  shieldjof 
the  espanded  ogee  form  employed  ta 
the  latter  part  of  the  fifteenth  centwy, 
rhnrged  with  the  f<illowing   bcariap 
I.  Three  piles,  for  Bryan  ;      2.  A    ' 
rampant ;  :i.  A  label  of  five  poi 
A   chevron   between  three  po^ 
The   south    transept   has    been 
verted  into  a  sort  of  porch,  the  oi 
into  a  vestry.     In  the   north  wall  (fj 
the  latter,  under  a  Gothic  arch,  is 
ancient  tomb,  on  which  the  pK^t  of 
female  reposes,  her  head  sti ;        - 
what   remains  of   two    ai- 
whole  tumb  Is  much   mutilaio 
was  closed  up  and  made  level  w 
wall    by  rabbitnh    and  plaster  : 
obstacles  were  remnved  to   opei

Rev.  J.  N.  Harrison.     Traditioo 
signs   this    memorial    tu    one    of  tbr'

the  mutilations  of  this  tomb,  the

prejudice  usual  with  the  Welsh  a^^ainst 
making  interments  on  the  north  side 
is  evidently  observed. 

The  custom  also  prevails  of  making 
each  grave  a  little  garden-plot,  planted 
with  laurel,  box,  and  other  evergreens, 
and  decorated  every  Sunday  momini; 
with  oewly  gathered  flowers.  Pre- 
vious to  Easter  Sunday  the  greatest 
attention  is  paid  to  putting  these  graves 
in  order,  thial  they  may  appear  fresh 
and  renovated  rn  the  morning  appro- 
priated to  the  commemoration  of  the 
resurrection.  This  practice  is  exceed. 
ingly  pleasing,  and  was,  no  doubt, 
obaerveU  by  the  earliest  Cambrian 
Christiaoa  ;  for  respect  to  the  dead, 
not  degenerating  into  superstition,  is

of  heathen  ages,*  and  our  great  na-

nise it  in  a  pastage  which  has  all  the 
charming  freshness  and  beauty  of  these

[Ore. 


The  monasteries,  or  rather  college*, 
in  Wales,  like  iho&e  ia  Ireland,  in  the 
early  aces  of  the  church,  were  cele- 
brated for  their  ven*  numeroas  mem- 
ber*. The  WelBh,  in  their  »rmacular 
laofcuage,  constHnlly  np|)tytolbeni  the 
epithet  (cor)  choir  :  iho  choral  wrv ices 
ofthechorch  were,  therefore,  doubt 
less  some  part  of  their  diaroal  dati». 
They  laboured  for  their  own  Aubsiet- 
eoce ;  dispensed  almB  to  widows,  the 
poor,  and  strangers;  and  exercised  the 
vlrtue«  of  a  christian  hfe  in  industry' 
and  acta  of  benevuleuce.  These  so- 
cieties were  probably  free  from  the 
ascetic  absurdities  and  supererogatory 
works  which  characterised  the  system 
of  mookrry  in  other  reKinns  and  nge«, 
and  corrupted  and  overwhelmed  the 
simplicity  of  primitive  doctrine. 

They  were  admirablv  adapted  for  the 
prci'ervatinn  and  difTusioo  of  the  catho- 
lie  faith  ficcording  to  the  position  of 
the  British  church  at  that  period,  and 
they  were  entirely  free  from  any 
foreign  ecclesiastical  government:  their 
metropolitan  ruler  was  the  Archbishop 
of  Caerleon. 

Haulinus  or  Pawl  Hen,  an  eminent 
Wel«h  pastor  of  the  fifth  and  sixth 
centurien.  founded  a  c6r  or  college  nfihe 
above  kind  in  the  sylvan  retreat  which  I 
have  deitcrib^d.  He  was  deeply  rend  in 
the  Holy  Scriptures, and  Davjd,  Teilo, 
and  other  eminent  preachers  repaired  lo 
Ty  Gwyn  ar  Taf  for  the  benefit  of  his 
iostrucliom.*  In  the  tenth  century  the 
pious  and  politic  prince  Howcl  Dda. 
who  had  united  the  thri>e  provinces  uf 
Wales  under  bis  dominion,  assem- 
bled the  bi^hopa,  clct^y.  and  princi- 
pal chiefs  at  Ty  Gwyn  fur  the  pur- 
pose of  revising  and  ronsulidaiing  the 
Welsh  laws.  This  ^reat  uaiional 
.council  met  either  wilhiti  the  prfcinct 
of  the  monastery  or  at  the  palace  of 


llowd  in  the  inmediate  neighboor- 
hood.  The  site  of  the  palace  canni

William  Spragra,  the  last  ahlat,  sur. 
>«uilcreiJ  it  December  I8th,  )S40.  the 
31st  of  [{(Dry  VIII.*  Its  grusa  yearly 
revenue,  ea  stated  in  the  Valor  Eccle- 
BtaMicQs,  was  153^  17 a.  id. 

In  ibe  year  163r.  when  I  was  in 
W*l<3,  U»Dr\'  Yelveiton,  »»q.  lately 
Member  of  FBTliamcntforC^aeriuartheo, 
proprietur  of  Wbitland  AMkv,  caused 
a  pood  in  the  farmyard,  occupying  a 
portion  of  the  site  of  the  abbey,  to  be 
cleared  oat.  when  the  bases  of  acvcr&i 
clattered  pillars  uf  the  church  were 
revealed  ;  pursuing  with  laudable  teal 
his  researcnes  westward  uf  these  re- 
mains, hv  discovered  fuundations  of 
extensive  buildings,  as  of  cloisters  or 
monastic  cells,  a  doorway,  and  several 
architectural  fragments,  the  style  of 
which  was  decidedly  of  the  12th  cen- 
tury :  and  thus,  as  in  so  many  other 
instances,  the  corresponding  cbrono- 
lo(i;ical  class  of  art  was  found  confirm- 
in$r  the  truth  of  history. 

Near  the  remains  of  the  pillars  of 
the  church  two  or  three  tiles  were 
turned  up,  of  one  of  which  the  follow- 
ing is  a  aketch. 


This  tile  is  very  unlike  the  eocauatic 
tileH  of  a  later  date  :  the  whole  of  it  ia 
of  a  brown  C(tluur,  the  surface  glazed.  ] 
It   is    of  a   ttquare    form,  in    breadth] 
about  six  inches;  the  animals,  orna*] 
ntcnts.  &c.  arc  m  relief :  so  that  thcj 
floor  formed  by  such  a  pavement  muati 
have   presented   a    surface    somewhat') 
rough    anil    uneven.      Pavements 
•tnboued   tiies  still  remain,  I  am   in-fl 
furmed,  in  the  cloisters  of  some  of  tba^ 
continental  cathedrals.  Another  tile  < 
a  light  ochre  tint  was  decorated  witll ' 
a  pattern  in  relief,  uf  crosses  flenry, 
iolerpersed  with   crescents,  all  raised 
from  the  surface.     Of  this  the  sketch 
has  been  mislaid.     The  tile  reproscot- 
cd,    is  of  the  same  period  with   the 
architectural     fragments,      the     I'ith 
century.     In  the   centre  is   the  holy^ 
lamb,  bearing  the  banner  of  the  croaa. 
Around  are  armorial    shirldsi,  which 
1  am  rather  disposed  to  think  may  be 
appropriated    to   Norman    ooblcrneo, 
benefactors  of  the  abbey,  aod  foUaw- 
ctft    of    Henry    II.    than    considered 
merely  as  oroamentaL 

This  point  is  worthy  of  future  coo- 
eideratinn,  and  may  claim  the  at- 
tention of  your  heraldic  reatlerv.  The 
lion  passant  is  the  emblem  of  Kn^- 
laod — the  dragon,  1  imagine,  of  Walw 
— the  peacock  and  pea- hen  pecking 
at  n  flower,  may  be  bodges — fw.  of 
Henry  II.  f 

In  the  walls  of  the  farm -house, 
built  near  the  site  of  the  abbey 
church,  is  a  tablet  of  stone,  on  which 
are  sculptured  the  armorial  bearings 
of  ilenry  VII.  Near  Una  house  is  an 
insulated  hill  called  the  Castle  Elill,  a 
very  defensible  post,  bat  without 
veatigea  of  military  works.

was  lati'lv  better  known  by  the  title  of 
KorgF.  The  fi!ih-{Mi)ds  of  the  inonaii- 
tcry  were  cleaned  out  aad  enlarged,  to 
form  a  capacious  resemoir  of  water 
for  the  works  of  the  iron  mill.  This 
building  in  now  abandoned  and  in 
ruins,  the  reservoir  dried  up,  and 
heaps  of  6corix'  from  the  iron  ore  are 
Accumulated  on  the  ttpot.  The  Nacred 
fane,  the  cloistered  walks,  the  halla  of 
Wbltland  are  laid  low,  ami  are  only 
obscurely  to  be  traced  in  their  founda- 
tions. The  "  )>ealiug  anthems  of 
the  choir  "  have  long  cea:ied  to  swell 
upon  the  wanderer's  ear ;  the  Vulcn- 
oian  thundcrft  of  tlic  forge  huve  rolled 
away; — Silence  has  again  resumed  her 
sway  in  the  deep  umbrageous  shades 
of  Alba  Domus.  The  lofty  hanging 
woods,  the  clear  rushing  stream,  the 
meads  of  brilliant  verdure— •still,  how- 
ever, unite  to  attest  "  this  ia  no  com- 
inon  spot."  The  voice  of  nature  is 
for  oJl  time — the  works  of  art  pa&s 
away.  Of  the  5.ncre<l  zeal  of  the  royal 
Howell  and  the  priacety  Rhys,  almost 
the  only  tangible  testimony  is  a  single 
tile! 

Cromlech  at  fJanhoid^.* — On  the 
caatern  summit  of  a  deep  ravine  at 
Glyn  Taf.  in  the  parish  of  Llanbotdy, 
is  a  very  perfect  specimen  of  one  of 
these  monuments,  distant  about  twelve

steep  hills  adjacent  are  clothed  with 
woods  and  plantations  of  fir. 

I'he  cromlech  is  composed  of  a  flat

about  nine  feet  in  length,  and  some-

The  Grvm  Bridge  «/  H  «/«.— Near 
Pendine,  a  village  four  miles  from 
Lauglmrne,  a  small  stream  descends 
from  the  neighbourhood  of  Llandow- 
ror,  and  makes  its  wav  intu  a  low 
rocky  cavern  under  the  tiigh  ri.iad  ;  it 
may  be  here  followed  under  the  earth 
for  about  two  hundred  yards,  when  it 
aeets  with  a  precipice,  and  forms  a 
MbtcrraoeaD  cataract,  continuing  its 
canctaJed  coarse  for  about  a  mile;  it 
at  leo^  oozes  oat  on  the  sanda  of 
the  sea  shore,  under  the  lofty  cliffs  of 
Prndinc.  The  rock  under  which  the 
rivulet  t»  lost,  prcsentiog  a  perpendi- 
cular surface  of  about  three  or  four  and 
twenty  feet  below  the  high  road,  forms 


a  kind  of  natural  causeway,  which 
has  obtained  the  fanciful  appellation 
of  "  the  Green  Bridge  of  Wales." 
Many  caverna  curious  for  their  cr^'s- 
tallint!  formations  and  geotogirnl  cir- 
cumstances exist  in  the  cliffy  about 
Laugharne  ;  these  I  had  not  the  op- 
portunity to  visit :  one  is  called  Coigon 
or  Cogan  cave,  probably  from  Mile 
de  Cogan,  a  follower  of  Henry  II. 
in  hii  Irish  expedition.  Llan  Milo  is 
the  name  of  a  manBion  and  estate  in 
the  immediate  neighbour  hood. 

The  traces  of  historical  facts  are 
often  found  in  the  most  minute  (ir-

Cu9lom*  prnvl^nt  at  Lattghamf,  8fc. 
— ('ustoni  is  very  tenacious  in  districts 
.which  modem  luxuries  and  reiinc. 
meats  have  bad  no  opportunity  of 
reaching.  The  auateritiea  of  Lent  in 
the  »uperstitious  ages  were  always 
preceded  hy  the  carnival  of  Shrove- 
tide. It  was  the  annual  practice 
fmm  time  immemorial  at  Laagh- 
aroe.  on  Shrove  Tuesday,  to  play 
a  grand  match  at  foot  ball  through 
the  principal  streets  of  the  town. 
On  that  (lay  the  windows  of  the 
houses  were  closed  by  shutters  and 
tempomry  fences  of  board  ;  the  lower 
orders  of  people  of  the  town  and  from 
the  Hurruundiag  country,  divided 
into  two  parties,  contested  with  no 
SToatI  degree  of  energy  and  violcnca 
who  should  impel  the  ball  first  to  an 
appointed  goal  nt  either  end  of  the 
town.  Grievous  bruises  were  inflicted, 
and  whole  limbs  placed  at  least  in 
great  jeopardy. 

The  magistrates  at  the  Shrore-ttde 
of  163S  determined  to  suppress  this 
practice,  as  a  public  ouisance.  They 
issued  a  notirc  against  it  being  ob- 
served, and  swore  in  a  Dumber  of  spe- 
cial constables  for  the  purpose  of  ea-' 
forcing  their  orders.  Some  resistance 
was  offered  by  the  rabble,  and 
the  ball  was  brought  into  the 
streets*  but  luckily  for  the  peace  of

At  ChriittiiiMs  the  fallowinLi;  cuiitoins 
are  ubBerved.  The  annual  gifU, 
called  Christmas  boxes,  are  collected 
in  a  way  which  nhews  the  origin  of 
the  term.  Square  money-boxes,  bar. 
ing  a  slit  in  each  lid.  are  carried 
round  to  the  householders  for  contri- 
butions. These  boxes  are  decomled 
with  crosses  and  hesrls.  and  inscribed 
with  thedrsiL'oation  of  the  parties  soli- 
citing,  as  "The  Anpieutice$>of  Laugh-

the  boys  provide  themaelv^s  with 
branches  of  rosemary,  which  they  dip 
in  a  vessel  of  fair  water ;  they  make 
their  way  into  the  bed -room  of  the 
master  and  miatress  of  the  house, 
before  they  are  np,  and  sprinkling 
their  faces  with  the  moistened  rose- 
mary branch,  wish  them  a  happy  new 
year.f  1  have  before  mentioned  the 
practice  of  having  a  midnight  eervlce 
in  the  church  on  Christmas-eve,  the 
congregation  going  to  their  devotions 
attended  by  torch -bearers.  This  usage 
has  of  late,  very  reasonably,  been  dis- 
continued. The  following,  however, 
appeared  to  me  very  remarkable.  On 
the  night  of  Christmas-eve,  I  found  it 
no  easy  matter  to  sleep  aooodly  in 
the  town  of  Laughorne.  A  rabble  of 
men  and  boya  were  running  swiftly 
up  and  down  the  streets  horn  midnight 


until  the  morniag,  with  huge  lighltd 
torches,  comfiosed  of  straw  enveloprd 
in  a  covering  of  pitched  canvas, 
bound  firmly  to  a  staff,  and  fired. 
I  could  not  help  thinking  that  I  saw 
in  these  "  deep  burning  crejgrts,**  a 
aoperstitions  rite  of  the  beathm  Bri- 
tons converted  to  the  celebration  of 
the  great  Chriatian  festival  ol  the  na- 
tivity ;  jost  as  in  the  churches  at  that 
season  the  rerbaialia  or  heathen  cus-

Tacitus,  when  Suetonius  Paulians  re-

the  passage  as  I  have  rendered  It  ia

TTktFUkay,  Coracle*,  SaLmmSptcr- 
wj.  4*. — The  fishery  here  is  not  ge- 
nerally conducted  in  boats,  for  the  ont~ 
fit  of  a  boat  would  be  a  serioos  under- 
taking for  the  poorer  iohabitants  of 
the  place ;  bat  by  means  of  long-ex- 
tended lines  of  net  affixed  to  sUkes 
diiren  into  the  sand,  forming  a  kind 
of  weir,  by  which,  when  the  tide  re- 
tires, the  retreat  of  the  fish  is  cut  off. 
In  the  winter  time  this  mode  of  fishing 
is  exchanged  for  one  of  a  rery  primi- 
tire  chancter;  the  Welsh  fisherman 
forms  hundreds  of  small  hooks  in  the 
shape  of  a  Greek  r,  from  the  common 
hedge  thorn,  which  being  attached  to 
short  lines  of  horse-hair,  are  baited 
with  a  worm  or  grub  found  in  the 
sand,  called  a  Fnnck  worm,t  and  fast- 
ened to  one  long  cord,  when  every  tide 
affords  some  retom  to  the  fisher's  la- 
bour. On  the  upper  part  of  the  stream 
above  St.  Clere,  the  old  firitish  porU- 
ble  canoe  of  basket-work,  the  cwrwg , 
ewrwgl,  or  coracle  is  employed ;  this 
frailbarkisaboutfour  feet  in  length,  of 
an  oval  form,  covered  with  fiaooel,  well 
pitched,  and  water-tight.  A  suspend- 
ing sling  of  leather,  a  paddle,  a  small 
cross  bench  for  the  seat  of  the  fisherman, 
under  which  is  attached  by  leathern 
loops,  a  short  wooden  truncheon  for 
killing  the  fish,  whose  straggles  might 
endanger  the  bark,  constitute  with  the 
net  the  appendages  of  these  vessels. 
On  the  Towey  above  Cacrmarthen,  two 
of  these  fishermen,  each  having  his  co- 
racle slung  at  his  back,  will  proceed 
up  the  river  four  or  five  miles :  on 
taking  the  water,  they  extend  their 
net  across  the  stream,  each  holding 
the  opposite  end  by  a  line ;  thus  de- 
scending with  the  tide,  they  sweep 
the  whole  stream  downwards  to  Cacr- 
marthen ;  on  approaching  the  bridge 
at  that  place,  they  rapidly  paddle  their 
coracles  towards  each  other,  till  they 
meet  at  passing  through  an  arch  of 
the  bridge  ;  the  ends  of  the  net  being 


601 

thus  brought  together,  it  is  hauled 
into  one  of  the  coracles,  the  salmoa 
which  may  be  inclosed  killed  by  a 
smart  blow  on  the  head  with  the 
beechcn  mall,  and  landed.  SocK  is 
this  primitive  mode  of  British  fishery. 
Among  the  fishermen  of  lAugharaea 
the  qualifications  of  honest  Levy  Sam- 
brook,  retired  mariner,  native  of  the 
place,  dwelling  in  his  cottage  on  the 
rocks  near  the  ferry  to  Llanstephan, 
deserves  particular  distinction,  kvery 
retiring  tide  calls  his  attention  to  hu 
nets,  or  his  hooks  and  lines  made  by 
himself  of  horse- hair  and  the  black- 
thorn. To  this  occupation  he  adds  the 
professions  of  constable  and  chief 
barber  of  the  place,  and  ho  attends 
those  who  may  be  fairly  called  his 
patients,  with  a  choice  of  fifty  raxora 
spread  out  on  their  envelope,  s  leather 
case ;  the  bluntness  of  these  is  much 
mitigated  by  Mr.  Levy's  assurance, 
that  they  have  been  sharpened  for 
beards  of  all  descriptions.  When  the 
salmon  at  spawning  time  make  their 
way  up  the  rivers,  wo  to  the  fish  which 
Levy  has  espied.  He  seizes  fais  triple- 
forked  spear  from  the  walls  of  his  ar- 
moury, the  pig-stye,  and  chaces  the 
salmon  at  the  pace  of  a  swift  steed  tilt 
he  infiicts  on  him  a  mortal  stroke. 

Few  sea-port  towns  are  less  in- 
debted to  external  support  than 
Laugharne.  The  trade  carried  on  is 
principally  in  small  coasting  vessels^ 
which  bring  coals  for  the  supply  of  the 
place.  Some  grain  is  occasionally  ex- 
ported to  Bristol.  The  poorer  classes 
support  themselves  chiefly  by  selling 
the  fish  which  they  catch  in  the  har- 
bour, to  the  inhabitants,  Salmon, 
sewen,  bass,  grey  mullet,  and  fluke, 
are  the  most  common  sorts.  The 
salmon  in  1837  was  soldat  5</.  the  pound. 
The  cockles  which  the  poor  dig  up  in 
the  sands  often  supply  them  with  their 
chief  subsistence,  and  arc  aleo  given 
to  their  pigs.  A  Welshman's  pig  is 
always  as  well  lodged  as  himself,  in  a 
stone- walled  and  hatched  hut,  neatly 
whitewashed.     Great    is    the    preju-

George  Tooke,  there  has  been  a  con- 
stant succession  of  useful,  if  not  dia- 
tinguUhed  autbors.  Contemporary 
with  George  Tooke  wm  the  ThoniAS 
Tooke  mentioned  tn  the  review  oa  the 
AuUiorof  a  volume  of  poems,  "Con- 
cerning the  Iloty  Kucharint,  and  the 
Popish  Dreaden  God,  to  thp.  men  of 
Homo,  aa  well  laiques  as  rlerirjuci, 
4tD.  1636  ;  "  and  who.  there  is  reason 
to  believe,  waa  the  younger  brother  of 
George. 

To  revert,  however,  to  an  earlier 
period,  we  find  that,  in  ITiOS.  Sir  Bryan 
Tuke  was  liriit  secretary  to  Cardinal 
WoUey,  and  aAcrward»  foreign  secre- 
tary to  llcory  VII  [.,  then  treasurer  of 
the  King's  chamber,  and  clerk  of  the 
Signet,  and  aometime  ambassador  to 
France  with  fijahop  Tunstall,  He 
■was  a  man  of  cxlenstve  lenrntnp,  and 
highly  rommended  Iiy  Leland  for  hi? 
wonderful  eloquence  in  the  Knglisli 
language,  —  "  Angltcs  lingua:  elo- 
quentiie  mirificus;"andinhl9  "  Enco- 
mium it  IuGlTJumvirorum,"hccelebrate8 
him  in  eight  distinct  little  Latin  poems 
as  his  benefactor,  and  as  n  patron  of 
the  Muses.  "  Bale  saith  that  he  wrote 
observalions  on  Chnucer,  as  also 
against  Polydorc  Vergil  for  injuring 
the  Englith,  of  whom  still  alive  he 
justly  and  generously  demanded  repa- 
rations, tho'  since,  his  unresponsable 
memory  can  make  u«  no  satisfaction, 
Djring  2(1  Oct,  1536,  he  lyeth  buried 
with  Dame  Grisset  his  wife,  deceasing 
two  years  after  him,  under  a  fair  tomb 
in  the  north  isle  of  the  qairc  of  St. 


Margaret's  in  l^thbury." —Fuller's 
Worthies,  Esses. 

The  family  so  heartily  adhered  to 
royalty  as  to  incur  great  sacrifices  in 
its  cause  and  fur  averting  its  down- 
fall, while  they  unfortunately  derived 
no  corresponding  benefits  oa  its  rc> 
storation. 

Whether  Friar  Tuck,  of  Ivanhoe  ce- 
lebrity, was  an  author,  does  not  ap- 
pear, but  the  following  extract  from 
Hunter's  History  of  Doncaster.  vol. 
ii.  p.  487,  provps  at  least  that  he  was 
a  popular  dramatic  character.

MemoriaU  of  the  Family  of  Tooke. 


Kent/  IIcrts,t  Cambridgesliirc,  Nor- 
folk, J  and  Essex,  were  forfeited  or  se- 
questered during  the  Commonwealth  ; 
Q&d,  with  the  ciception  oflbe  Kentish 
branchoftlie  family  who  settled  at  God- 
ington,  near  Canterbury,  under  the 
nameofToke,  never  again  resumed  their 
station  among  the  landed  gentry 
of  England.  Immediately  after  the 
the  Restoration,  we  find  them  still  ml. 
dieted  to  letters,  but  only  engaged 
0,8  useful  pioneers  in  their  service,  in 
the  persons  of  two  Benjamin  Tookes> 
father  and  aon>  both  bookacllera,  and 
members  of  the  Slationers'  Company  ; 
the  former  held  the  honorable  and  re- 
sponsible post  of  IrcaBurcr  of  St.  Usr- 
tnolomew's  Hospital,  while  the  latter 
extcndedhis  trade,  and  carried  on  a  large 
business  in  Fleet-street.  lie  was  pub- 
lisher to  Swiil  and  Pope,  and  his 
name  appears  in  the  title-pages  of  all 
the  most  valuable  folioand  lesser  tomes 
of  classiral  and  general  literature  dur- 
ing the  ]attcr  period  of  the    ITth  and 


beginning  of  the  IBth  century.     He] 
designated  by  Wanley,  the  SaVon  acha 
lar    and    antiquary,  as  an   "  hnnn 
roan  ;"  and  Dunton,  in  bia  own  Laf4 
thus  alludes  to  him  in  his  Catalc,

Imne^t,  nman  orrclioed  sense,  or coDh 
never  hove  been  related  to  Ben  Tookf 
and  is  unblemished  in  his  reputation  -^ 
and  he  afterwards  designates  him  in  1' 
humorous  list  of  Booksellers  at  "  Hi 
raclitua    Tooke."     Dunton    again, 
his  notice  nf  Ronwicke,  pays  anoti 
parsing  tribute  to  Ben  Tooke  :     "If 
not   think  there   is  nn  hooestrr  mi 
than  Bonwicke    in   London,  nor 
that  is  more  zealous  for  the  cfaurri 
He  served   his   time    with    Mr.    Bd 
Tooke ;   and  we  find  all  the  wit  sa 
loyalty  of  hi^  ingenious  master  eieo 
plified  in  bis  life  andpractire."^

Memnrinh  of  the  Fmnily  ofTooke* 


(t05 


craiTgcd  into  authoreltip  in  the  pcrtoa 
of  Andrew  Tookc.  M.A.  nf  Clare  Hall, 
Cajiibhdg<j,  assistant  mastiT  of  the 
Charter  House,  F.  R.  S.  and  Grcsham 
professor  of  geometry.  He  wrote  and 
transUtctl  much,  but  his  Pnnthcon  is 
tlie  work  by  which  he  U  cliicfty 
known.  It  conBtituted  the  Mytholo- 
gical Graramai  of  the  three  or  fuiir 
hut  generations,  and  is  hnrdly  vet  su- 
perseded. It  is  founded  upon  the 
Latin  of  Fras.  Pomey,  a  French  Jc. 
suit,  rather  than  tranelatcd  from  it. 
Andrew Tooke  was  in  deacmrs  orders, 
and  succeeded  to  a  connitlerabte  pro- 
perty on  the  death  ufhis  brother  Ben- 
jamin the  bookseller.  He  died  in 
1731,  in  his  58th  year,  and  waa  buried 
in  the  Charter  Houac  chapel. 

His  cousin  and  contemporary.  Dr. 
Thomas  Tooke.  of  C.  C.  Coll.  Comb. 
wasrectorof  Larolwurn,  KMex,  He 
was  during  thirty  yean^  head  niaittcr 
of  Bishop  Stortford  school,  which 
was  rebuilt  at  his  instance,  and  under 
his  care  and  conduct  became  one  of 
the  most  distio^uishcd  academies  in 
the  kingdom,  contributing  to  both  the 
universities  many  of  their  greatest 
ornaments.  The  entire  dedicntion  of 
his  time  tu  this  great  object  nece&sarily 
limited  his  literary  labours  to  the  edit- 
ing and  revising  of  several  of  the  Clas- 
hes for  the  use  of  Iiis  school. 

The  next  in  literary  succci^ion  in 
Dr.  Thos.  Tooke  was  the  Inte  Rev. 
William  Tooke.  F.R.S.,  born  3()lh  Jan. 
1744,  and  died  17th  Nov.  IS20,  an 
affectionate  tribute  to  wtiu&e  memory, 
with  the  leading  particulars  of  hia 
active  life  and  labours,  wa.s  paid  by  one 
who  ran  a  like  career  of  private  worth 
and  literary  estimation,  his  ^chool- 
fi-llow  and  allaclM'iI  friend  from  child- 
hood, the  lateMr.  JohuNichoIs,  K.S.A. 
It  is  to  be  found  In  the  Gent.  Magazine 
for  1S30,  and  i»n  precludes  the  ueccs* 
sity  of  a  repetition  here.  It  may 
suffice,  therefore,  to  observe,  that, 
after  a  residence  of  twenty  years  at  St. 
Petcntburg,  us  chaplain  to  the  Uritish 
factory,  he  returned  to  Knclnnd  in 
1792,  in  cflh^ipiente  ofacnnKiilcrablt- 
property  having  devolved  tn  hiiu.  by 
the  death  nf  a  malernaJ  unde,  which 
enabled  him  to  lead  a  lifv  o(  literary 


leisure.     In  the  hoflpitable  and  lilicrnl 
enjoyment  of  a  large  nnil  distinguiiibed 
«ociaI  circle,  of  which  he  was,  on  most 
occasions,  the  centre  nnd  the  life,  lie. 
by  the  exercise  of  a  lively  recollection,  " 
and  happy  adaptation,  of  interesting;] 
anecdotes,   collected    in  the   court  cvj 
Catltarine,     rendered     them     readiljf' 
available  for  all  the  purposes  of  the 
most  entertaining  and  instructive  con- 
versation.    His  principal  publicntiona 
were  those  relating  to  Russia,  drawa4 
from  the  most  authentic  local sonrces, 
and  consist  of— Life  of  Catharine  II.  in 
3  vols.  8vo.;  History  ofUussio,  2  vols.; 
View  of  the  Russian   F.mpire,    '.\  vols. 
A  perfect  knowledge  of  the   (krman 
langoage  enabled  him  to  give  a  free 
and  elegant  translation  of  Zollikofer's 
Sermons,  in  10  vols.  8vo. 

His  last  work  was  a  transfusion, 
rather  than  a  translation,  of  Wietand's 
Lucian  :  the  dialogue.s  are  fully  and 
faithfully  rendered  into  Kogtish,  with 
the  explanatory  notes  of  tne  learned 
German,  who  was  himself  considered 
the  Lucian  of  his  country, 

Mr.Tookc,  in  the  intervals  ofhis more  - 
important  labours,  wrote  much  in 
Monthly  llcvicw   and  tht?  Gent.  Mag.' 
He  was  a  joint  editor,   with  the  Rev. 
Aichdcacon  Nares  and  Mr.  Rcloe,  uf 
the  Diog.  Diet.  edit.   I79S,  and  pub- 
lished 4  vols,  of  miscellaneous  essays, 
under  the  titles  of  "  Varieties  uf  Litc-g 
rature,"  and  "Selections  fromvaiioiit' 
foreign  literarj*  journals." 

He  left  two  sun^  nnd  a  daufchtcr  :  the 
eldest  son,  Thomas  Tooke.  ICs<i.F.R.8. 
was  in  the  Kussia  trade,  and  has  distin- 
guished himself  as  a  jwlitical  econo- 
mist, by  the  publication  of  several 
vnUinlile  treatises  on  the  com  trade, 
and  till.*  prices  uf  commodities. 

He  has  recently  concentrated  his 
views  in  n  Hintory  nf  l'rice*i,  inSvol^^. 
8vo,,  which  has  been  rej)eatedlyi)uoted 
as  a  standard  authority  in  both  houses 
of  the  h-gi^lftture.  He  ia  a  IradinR 
member  of  the  Statistical  Society,  nnd 
is  much  consulted  in  alt  matters  nf

best  derivation  seems  to  be  that  vhich 
is  given  by  luidal,  the  reformer  and 
martyr,  who  was  a  nun  of  some  learn- 
ing. He  says,  "  J#«M«m  is  a  Hebrew

all  that  is  above  nececsity  and  that 
which  is  required  onto  our  nece&sary 
uses,  wherewith  a  man  may  help  an- 
other without  andoiog  or  hurting  him- 
self; for  Uamom,  in  the  Hebrew  speech, 
signifies  a  multitude  or  abundance,  or 
many ;  and  there  hence  cometh  Afa- 
AoMoa  or  Mammom,  abundance  or  plen- 
teousness  of  good  or  riches." — (Parable

POOLE  is  now  Ibe  most  considera- 
ble town  in  the  coooty  of  Dorset :  and 
the  history  of  its  ri?ie  anil  progress, 
which  has  never  before  been  illus- 
trated at  any  cousitlcrabtc  length,  was 
a  subject  well  deserving  the  attention 
of  a  topographer.  The  present  volume, 
which  the  author  tells  us  is  the  pro- 
duction of  the  leisure  of  several  years, 
is  on  the  whole  highly  creditable  to 
his  talentA  and  research.  The  arrangc- 
rnent  is  clear,  the  subjects  duly  di- 
vided, and  every  branch  of  the  history 
of  the  town,  territorial,  general  or  pub- 
lie,  municipal  and  parliamentary,  ec- 
clesiastical and  maritime,  its  rharities, 
public  buildings,  biography,  and  sta- 
tistics, are  in  turn  fully  and  satisfac- 
torily discusiied.  There  are  now  five 
churchcft,  all  new,  Ctbe  old  one  having 
been  rebuilt  in  1S20,  at  an  eipcnee  of 
11,740^.)  and  the  other  public  edifices

prosperity  of  the  town.

No  very  remote  antiquity  can  be 
claimed  for  Poole  as  a  totvn.  Its 
name  does  not  occur  in  the  Domesday 
Survey.  Thai  the  lake  or  "  pool" 
described  lU  the  pieceding  extract  was 
visited  by  the  Roman  gallies,  no 
doubt  can  be  entertained.  A  vicinal 
way  has  been  traced  from  the  shore 
of  the  harbour,  near  Upton-house^  to 
the  station  Hindogladia,  now  Badbury 
Kings;  Konioii  coins  have  been  fre- 
quently found;  and  in  1832  a  deposit 
of  several  hundreds  (of  the  middle  of 
the  third  century)  was  dug  up  at 
Sterte,  only  a  qimrtcr  of  a  mile  from 
Poote.  It  bos.  however,  long  been 
decided  that  Mr.  Horsley  wos  wrong 
in  fixing  here  the  Portus  Magnus  of 
Ptnlemy,  which  was  near  the  (sle  of 
Wight,  and  evidently  at  Portcbester. 
Baxter  was,  possibly,  more  correct  in 
placing  ot  this  jioint  of  the  cuast  the 
Bolvelaunium  of  Ravennas,  which  be 
maintained  should  be  written  Boloc- 
launium  from  the  Celtic  Bol^ne-lavH-iH, 
a  head  or  bay  of  full  water.*  Still  the 
town -of  the  bay,  and  its  ancient  port* 
was  not  Poolcj  but  Warcham.  The 
place  is  twice  mentioned  in  the  Saxon 
Chronicle,  in  the  annals  of  the  incur- 
sions of  the  Danes.  First  in  P9S, 
"  this  year  the  army  coasted  back 
eastward  into  the  mooth  of  the  Frome 
(' From-muthan'),  and  went  up  every 
where,  as  widely  as  they  would,  into 
Dorsetshire."  Again, in  1015,  "Canute 
came  to  Frnm*muthan,  and  plundered 
in  Dorset,  and  in  Wiltshire,  and  in 
SoraerBet."+  'ITie  memory  of  these 
incursions  was  not  lost  in  the  days  of 
Leland.  who  says.  "  howbcit.  Ware- 
ham  was  once  sof  e  rasid  in  the  Danes' 
wars;"    but   this   passage   has    been

dly  misunderstood  by  our  present 
Bthor,  who  says  that 

"  Leland,  xn  acute  inquirer  into  locil

Now,  what  Leland  actually  uys  is, 
that  Poole  had  risen  on  the  decaarocc 
of  Wareham  even  within  the  memory 
of  persons  living  at  the  time  he  wrote. 
The  extraordinary  miscgncepliun  we 
have  quoted  has  been  occasioned  by  thv 
error  of  reading  "  so  re-rasid  "  (which, 
it  seems,  was  underatuwl  "  restored,") 
instead  of"  sore  raeid,"  or  "  grievously 
destroyed."  It  might  have  been  sup- 
posed that  this  error  cuuhl  nevtr  hnve 
nappencd  If  Mr.  Sydenham  had  per- 
used the  whole  of  Leland's  interesting 
description  of  Poole;  the  omission  of

it  is  given  at  length  in  Mutchins'a

insert  it :

quote  ;  and  bis  expression  *'  genealo-

his  extracts  are  chiefly  incorrect.  The 
most  remarkable  genealogical  facts 
developed  by  Mr.  J.  G.  Nichols, 
are  in  the  latter  part  of  the  Lacock 
Tolume,  having  bc*n  derived  from  the 
important  coramunicaiioDa  made  by 
Mr.  Staplcton  from  the  monastic  re- 
cords of  Normandy.  We  are  aorrj*, 
therefore,  to  feci  it  necessary  to  un- 
dertake a  critical  examination  of  Mr. 
Sydenham's  extracts,  for.  were  wu  not

Girold  was  a  Danifer  in  Normandy  : 
he  is  supposed  to  nave  been  brother  to

Read  Brenmulc.* 

In  p.  7  the  story  of  the  laat  campaign 
of  Patrick  earl  of  Salisbury  is  told  in 
two  detached  and  disjointed  portions. 
Though  this  is  an  implicit  following 
of  Dugdole,  there  is  no  reason  for  it. 

"  He  (^VilUam  earl  of  Salisbury)  died 
1196,  learing  issue  by  Eliraaor  de  Mtrei 
his  wife,  one  sole  daughter,  Lit  heir,  called 
Ela."  (p.  «.) 

This  is  indeed  the  crowning  proof 
of  the  "History  of  Lacock"  not  having 
been  properly  examined  t>T  this  author. 
TTie  principal  genealogical  discovery  of 
that  work  was,  that  Kla,  though  made 
the  heiress  of  the  earldom  of  Salisbury,

The  remark  made  in  the  History 
Lficock  is,  at  least,  worthy  of  raentio 
that  "  the  name  of  William   Longs 
was  originally  derived  from   Willi 
Longspe,    Duke   of  Normandy,

of  a  lengthened  residence  at  Corfe 
Castle,  as  the  royol  letters  are  dated 
either  at  that  place  or  at  Wareham, 
alternately,  from  the  middle  of  June 
1 21 G  to  the  middle  of  the  following 
month.  The  king  was  aUo  several 
times  at  his  own  manors  of  Cran- 
boum  and  Bere  Regis  in  the  same 
cotmty. 

One  of  the  subsequent  lords  ofCan- 
ford, in  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  was  the 
philosnphical  Lord  Mountjor.  who, 
being  "a  curious  searcher  into  nature, 
found  materials,  out  of  which  he  began 
to  make  calcanthum  or  copperas,  and 
boil  allura."  Of  these  transactions 
Mr.  Sydenham  gives  some  curious  par- 
ticulars (jjp.  53,  (35) ;  and  the  cir- 
cumstance is  remarkable  from  its 
having  taken  place  about  thirty  years 
before  the  establishment  of  :^ir'niumaa 
Chaloncr's  more  prosperous  alum- 
wurks,  near  Gainsbnrough  in  York-

We  must  now  conclude,  after  ex- 
tracting thefollow  Log  exquisite  passage 
from  a  letter  written  to  the  corpora-

Mr.  Benjamin  ii^kutt*  who  was  en-

C15 


No  right-thinking  Clitic  will  on  this 
account  regard  less  fsvourably  the 
present  publication;  but,  on  the  con- 
trary, it  niuat  by  highly  n-spectcd  a* 
the  original  sourco  im  faraa  is  at  pru- 
ftfnt  kuuwn)  ofmncli  that  i^  very  cu- 
rious and  intcrciiting.  Dc&idcs,  it  will 
he  invariably  found  that^  in  historical 
matters,  the  nearer  wc  go  to  tlie  foun- 
tain-head the  purer  ia  thu  stream. 
This  is  a  truth  of  which  more  than  one 
remarkable  illustration  will  be  given 
in  tlic  rcmarkft  which  it  is  now  our 
intention  to  olTer  :  though  in  some 
iiutances,  it  will  be  rather  to  the 
(lucredtt  than  the  honour  of  our 
chronicle,  which  has  li^eir  been  pro- 
bably derived  from  some  better  autho- 
rity,  now  cither  lost  or  unknown.  For 
instance,  the  execution  of  tbe  Kail  of 
Otfurd  and  hia  fton  was  in  the  \nt 
Edw.  IV.  not  "  In  the  vth  ycrc/'  aji 
staled  in  p.  5.  The  date  is  exactly 
giTcn  in  the  fragment  of  a  chronicle 
appended  by  Hearnc  to  his  edition  uf 
Sprotti  Chronica  :  "  ihey  were  both 
takin  the  xii'^  day  of  Feb.  U60-l,aud 
brought  to  the  tourc  att  Loudon,  and 
fthortelr  therenppoo,  the  xx"*  day  of  the 
same  moneth,  bothc  the  fadir  and  the 
son  were  brought  unto  the  Tourc  hill, 
where  they  buffrid  Heth  bothc  on  one 
day."  Uugdalr  (Baronage,  i.  197) 
qaatea  an  csclieat  which  "  saith  that 
the  Karl  died  20  Feb.  1  Kdw.  4." 
The  mouth  and  year  are  at  least  as- 
certained, if  nut  the  day. 

In  the  account;  given  in  p.  G  of  the 
Yorkshire  insurrection  in  1469*  which 


terminated  with  the  battle  of  Banbury. 
it  i«  slated  that  "  Sere  William  Con- 
yars,  knighte,  was  Ihorre  capteyne, 
wluchc  callede  hyin  self  Robyne  of 
Riddesdalc."  Here,  for  Sir  William 
we  should  read  Sir  John  Conyars,  and 
he  wai  not  the  snine  person  with  the 
lender  called  Robin  of  Redesdate,  whose 
surname  we  are  elsewhere  told  wa» 
Hilliard.  HulinshL'd,  following  Mall 
as  altered  by  Grafton,  says  that  ftf\cr 
the  bottle  of  Banbury, 

"The  Norths luptooaUim  men,  with 
diverw  of  the  Narthcrue  mcu  by  them 
procured,  in  this  frate  tnnde  them  ■  cop- 
teine.  called  Robert  UiUianl,  bnt  the;

they  brought  to  Northooaptoo,  and  there 
beheaded  them  both  without  judg;tneiit." 
tiii.  S92.) 

And  thia  corrects  another  error  of 
the  Chronicler  before  tis.  who  states  (in 
p.  7,)  that  Lord  Ryvers  and  his  son 
were  taken  "  in  the  forest  of  Dene." 
This  misnomer  has  been  already  no- 
ticed by  Mr.  Baker  in  his  History  of 
Northamptonshire,  vol.  li.  p,  iCi, 
where  Dfne  in  said  to  be  "  an  evident 
mistake  for  Whittlebury  forest,  which 
lies  between  Kdgcote  and  Graflon." 
Grafton  was  the  pnucipoi  manor  of 
the  Wydvilea;  aud  Hall  (p.  394) 
states  that  King  Edward's  marriagE 
took  place  there — a  statement  which 
we  arc  surprised  tn  find  unnoticed  by 
the  Connty  Historian.*

Review.— HViit'ortAV  Chrouide. 


6\7 


We  ha»  still  another  remark  to 
make  on  tbf  same  page. 

"  And  tLe  ume  yere,  the  xxix.  dtjr  of 
Svutembcr.  Humfrcy  Ne*7lle,  knygbt, 
ftaaCharlr.«hi.i  brathcre.TrereCakenchy  tltc 
Kvl  of  Warwykc,  and  beliedcd  aC  Yorkc, 
the  ICynf^e  beynge  {frcMnt." 

Xow»  it  is  oot  liUcly  that  the  King 
and  Karl  of  Warwick  were  together  at 
York  in  14C9,  when  they  were  at  open 
war  :  it  seems  probable  tJiat  this  event 
■hoold  have  been  iiuerted  six  yearn 
earlier,  shortly  after  the  capture  of  tJic 
Northumberland  castles,  at  which 
time  Sir  Humphrey  Neville  was  ex- 
cepted from  the  King's  pardoD„  toge- 
ther witli  Sir  Ralph  Grey  (notes,  p. 
37). 

Hicse  iaaccuracicit,  together  with 
fiome  others  which  are  pointed  out  In 
the  notes  to  the  volame.  show  that 
this  Chronicle,  however  important, 
inu<>t  be  received  with  caution. 

Before  we  conclude,  we  must  re- 
mark that  the  grounds  for  attributing 
the  authorship  of  this  Chronicle  to 
Dr.  John  Warkworth  are  by  no  means 
sa.tiifactor>'.  The  foundation  of  such 
a  supposition  is  the  title  which  Le- 
land  has  given  to  hiE  extracts,  *'  Owte 
of  a  flookc  of  Chroniques  in  Peter 
College  Library.  This  booke  was  of 
his  own  hand,  sumtime  Master  of 
IVter  College."  Now,  this  is  applied 
to  the  earlier  part  uf  the  MS.  volume, 
as  well  as  the  latter  i  but  no  one 
would  think  it  probable,  that  Work- 
worth  was  the  compiler  of  that  por- 
tion which  conaistfi  of  the  Chronicle 
of  Brute  "after  the  copy  of  Caiton," 
nor  ii  it  likely  to  have  been  transcribed 
by  him,  for  the  orthography  evidently 
comes  from  a  very  indiffereDt  scholar. 
So  far  we  coincide  with  the  opinioa 
expressed  by  the  present  Editor  (p. 
sitii.)  ;  and  Mr.  Halliwrll  has  pre- 
sented us  with  what  he  considers  to  be 
a  specimen  of  Pr.  Warkwortli'H  actual 
autograph  in  the  inscription  within  the 
volume  recording  its  presentation  to 
Feler-house  library.  \Vc  should  not 
have  been  convinced  that  even  this 
was  Work  worth's  hand- writing,merely 
u  Mr.   Ilalltwell  suggnta   (p.  xxr.) 


from  the  style  in  which  it  is  worded, 
as   we    think   that  any    librarian    or 
other  officer  might  have  written  to  tha 
same  purport ;  but  we  are  told  that  it ' 
has  been  asccrtainetl  "  from  a  comjm-  \ 
rison  with  several  of  his  autographs  still , 
preserved  in  the  library."     It  would 
have  been  more  satisfactory  if  we  bod 
been  presented  with   proof  that  tliose 
other  writings  are  in  Iiis  autograph. 

From  the  conclusion  uf  the  hr^it  part 
of  the  MS.  volume,  we  learn  that  it 
was  "  Finysched  and  ended  after  tlie 
copey  of  Caiton.  then  ia  Weatmvns- 
ter,"  on  the  2nd  July,  U82.  The 
owner  of  the  book  seems  then  to  have 
written,  "  As  for  allc  tbynges  that 
folowe,  referre  them  to  my  copcy  ia 
whyche  is  wretyn  a  remauente  lykc  to 
this  forseyd  werkc  :"  these  words  the 
scribe  mechanically  copied,  and  add- 
ing, "  that  is  to  wytt  that — "  pro- 
ceeded at  once,  intheBBracline,  to  tmn- 
scribe  his  supplementary  task.  Other 
allusion  to  the  author  there  is  nuue, 
and  it  seems  ratlier  a  hasty  conclusion 
to  suppose  that,  because  Warkworth 
was  once  the  owner  of  the  book,  he 
woA  also  it*  author.  The  supplemen- 
tal part  now  published  extends  only  tn 
1473.  which  is  nine  years  at  least  be- 
fore the  date  of  the  commencement  of 
its  transcription.  Warkworth  lived  to 
the  year  1600;  and  the  volume  may 
have  hod  several  owners  between  the 
date  of  its  formation  and  that  of  its 
presentation  to  the  college,  which  was 
probably  towards  the  end  of  Wark- 
worth's  life* 

M  r.  Halliwell  states  that  he  has  been 
able  to  collect  nothing  relative  to  the 
personal  history  of  Warkworth,  ex- 
cept that  he  was  Master  of  St.  Peter's 
College  from  a.d.  M73  to  a.c.  U9S. 
We  find  that  John  Warkworth.  A.M. 
was  presented  to  the  vicarage  of  Lat- 
tou  in  Essex,  by  the  Prior  and  Canons 
of  that  place,  on  the  30tb  April  U60. 
but  that  he  did  not  hold  it  long,  his 
successor  (whose  presentation  is  not 
recorded)  resigning  in  1465  ;t  that  he 
was  elected  Master  of  St.  Peter's  Col-

fur  the  Clergy  in    the  Conrocation 
1474  ;  thftt  in  Uic  same  year   he  ex- 
chnngecl    the     rcciory   of    Wisbrach 
for  thnt  of  Lcvoriogton  in  Cambridgr- 
shirc,*both  beiof;  in  the  patronage  of 
the  Bishop  of  Ely,  which  sec  waa  then 
held  by  Biehop  Grey;  thatlhc  fiameprY- 
late  presented  him  also  in  1474  to  the 
rectory  of  Cottcnhtm,  which  he  held  to 
his  death,  in  ISOO*  and  was  then  suc- 
ceeded by  William  Warhain  aAerwarda 
ArchbishopofCanterbury  jt  and  that  he 
died  in  1600^  his  saccessor  as  Master 
of  Peter-house  not  being  elected  until 
Nov.  that  year. J    We  presume,  there- 
fore, that  Mr.  Hoiliwell's  date  1498  ia 
an  error.     Finally,  that  he  founded  a 
chantry   in  Little  St.   Mar^-'s  Church 
(adjoining  to  his  College),  endowing  it 
with  13|  acres  of  arable  land  in  Mel- 
reth.^     Unfortunately,  none  of  these 
particulars  support  bis  literary  claims. 
We  have  only  to  add  that  Mr.  Hat- 
Uwell'a  notes  are  richly  stored  with 
extracts  from  MS.  authorities,  derived 
from  a  great  variety    of  public    and 
private  libraries.     He  is,  however,  in 
error,  in  p.  31,  in  assigning  the  visit  of 
King  Edward  to  Bristol  to  tlie  year 
1462.      A  late  historian  of  that  city 
says,    "  our  Calendars    all    mentioa 
this  visit :  from  them  it  may  be  col- 
lected,  that  King   Edward   came  to 
Bristol   in  Sept.  14Gl;  where,  by  his 
order,   were   beheaded,    Sir   Baldwin 

Fulford,  Knt.  and  two  Esquires, 

Bright,  and  John  Haysant ;  and  the

more  valuable. 

The  premature  death  of  the  trans- 
Utor  delayed  the  pubticatian  of  the 
work,  which  is,  however,  through  that 
delay,  enriched  by  some  notes  by  Capt. 
J.  C.  Ross,  to  whom  (in  conjunction 
with  ComiD.  F.  R.  M.  Croiier)  the 
expedition  to  the  Antarctic  Pole  has 
lately  brea  entrusted. 

The  homely  style  attendant  on  a 
literal  tmnalalion  from  the  Danish  is 
unchanged,  accuracy  being  in  such  a 
case  preferred  to  elegance.  The  Chart

by  D.  Fane,  Et^. 

TREVES  is,  perhaps,  the  most  in- 
tereating  city  existing  for  its  antiqui- 
ties, on  this  side  the  Alps  :  *  it  looks 
like  a  venerable  and  gigantic  skeleton 
crambling  into  decay ;  and  its  ruined 
gates  and  mouldering  palaces  form  a 
striking  contrast  with  the  smiling  and 
luxuriant  district  in  wli'xh  it  is  sealed. 

Oh  !  golden  Treyes  !  how  like  a  oueen 
Tbou  sit'st  aniid  thy  flowery  deil ; 

And  twin'fit  around  thy  rrgjil  crown 
The  vine-leaf  of  thy  lov'd  Moselle. 

Such  were  the  hat»  tliat  came  to 
our  lips,  aa  wc  turned  a  farewell  glance 
on  its  fading  towers;  and  lel\  the  hos- 
pitable tabic  of  Prof.  Wyttenbach  and 
his  excellent  Moselle,  for  a  long  travel 
through  the  forests  and  wilds  of  Ger- 
many. The  volume  before  us  contains 
a  very  accurate  and  full  acrnnnt  of  the 
remains  of  Roman  art  stilt  existing; 
and  a  circumstanlial  dci^criptiun  of  the 
Monument  d'Ighel,  which  must  be  the 
admiration  of  every  traveller  of  taste.

which  was  then  more  perfect  than  it  is 
at  present ;  and  the  work  it*elf  con- 
tains some  curious  observations  on

himself  to  be  a  diligent  antiquary  and 
good  scholar,  and  wc  have  long  known

Ya-tra4ffin,   a   detcriptive    Poem.     iJy 
Mn.  Bowcn.     1839. 

Tl  IK  author  of  this  poem  aays, "  that 
ibc  object  of  it  iH  to  bring  before  the 
public  a  sniftll  portion  uf  the  beautiful 
scenery  of  Souln  Wales,  by  atlding  not 
only  the  attraction  uf  fiction,  bat  also. 
by  a  reference  to  real  personages  and 
facts  of  which  no  doubt  can  be  enter* 
lained,''  &c. 

Now  wc  must  say,  that  "local  des- 
cription and  real  pentonages  **  are  not 
the  proper  objects  of  jtoctical  embel- 
lishment. With  regard  to  descriptiim, 
it  may  be  used  as  one  of  thu  nrtuiiactttf 
of  poetry,  but  cannot  possibly  form  ita 
maiD  subject  f  great  poets  and  great 
painters  do  not  dpaeribp.  they  view 
everything  in  the  mirror  of  the  feelings 
and  of  the  imagioation ;  they  do  not 
give  ni  landscapes  such  as  we  ate,  but 
they  paint,  or  attempt  to  paint,  the 
effects  they  produce  on  the  mtnd.  In 
fact,  the  landscai>c  comes  to  their 
pencil  or  pen  reflected  from  the  retina 
of  the  mental  feeiings  and  atsociations. 
As  to  renl  personages  and  facts,  poetry 
knows  nothing  of  them.  They  are  the 
pinierial  which  she  uses,  but  not  the 
jiroiiHCtii  that  she  alfonla.  It  is  platn, 
therefore,  that  we  think  Mrs.  Bowen 
has  altogether  erred  in  the  object  she 
had  in  view,  and  in  her  notion  of  the 
province  of  poetry ;  she  should  have 
looked  into  the  hearts  and  history  of 
the  rural  inhabitants  for  the  subject 
of  a  tale ;  and  to  the  mountains  and 
torrents,  and  sea-washed  shores,  for 
illustrations  and  reflections.  Still  we 
are  bound  to  say  that  the  execution  of 
her  poetry  is  creditable  to  lier  taste,  and 
that  her  verses  arc  harroonious  and 
AowtD^,  though  somelimuK  too  closely 
reminding  us  of  the  peculiar  Ittfnm 
school,  and  sometimes  sounding  like 
tile  flow  of  Scott's  poetry.  A  few  lines 
from  the  b^inning  of  part  the  4tlt  will 
give  our  readers  a  knowledge  uf  the 
ftt^'le  of  Mrs  Bowen's  Muse : 

"  Willi  stealthy  pace  Time  passes  oo ;

— let  her  keep  in  mind  that  to  writ* 
writ  is  a  mostdifficultart,  and  requim 
the  study  nf  a  life  ;  and  let  her  attso- 
tively  study  the  works,  not  of  Scott  or 
Byron,  hut  of  the  great  masters  of 
composition  on  whose  works  time  has  ^H. 
stamped  the  seal  of  truth  ;  and  wcwill  ^|l 
answer  for  it,  that  she  will  see  a  rapid  ^^ 
improvement  in  her  own  works,  and 
she  will  assume  a  loftier  position  unoog

Tlu  OrierUal  Annual,  1840.     Tilt. 

THIS  Annual,  though  extremely 
bcautifal  in  its  execution  ;  though  its 
plates  arc  interesting  and  elegant  tn 
their  defiigna,  and  admirably  engraved  ; 
ant]  though  its  tales  and  histories  are 
many  of  them  captivating  to  the  mind  of 
the  reader  from  the  romantic  incidents 
and  splendid  descriptiona  of  which 
thejr  are  composed, — yet  it  is  little 
atiited  for  extracLb.  as  the  composi> 
tion  is  in  prose,  and  the  histories  are 


of  !)ome   length.     But.   on  the   other 
.side,  we  must  recollect,  that  such  a 
wurk  as  this,  so    faithfully  and   ele- 
gantly   illustrated,  will  always  be  of 
preat  value  thusc  who  delight   in  his- 
tories and  dt'ficrtptionsof  the  East,  the 
plates  containing   Hume   of  the  fincstj 
specimens  of  Asiatic  architecture,  aaj 
well  of  its  roost  sublime  bccnciy.     The? 
sketches    arc    by     Captain   Meadows j 
Taylor,  and  most  of  the  engravings  ' 
W.  and  E.  Findcn.     The  tales,  whic 
arc  well  chosen  and  well  written,  are 
by  Thomas  Bacon,  E^q,  K.S.A.     It  is 
a  volume   altogether   deserrtng   high 
encouragement. 

Mr.  ScHLOfifi,  ontwithataodtngtbe  tosal 
of  his  faTQUrite  editress  L.  E.  L.   soemt , 
determined  to  maintain  the  fame  of  hiaj 
diminutive  annoal,   the   Bijou   Almanac*' 
The  volume  (if  volume  it  can  be  called) 
for  18-10  is  «dDnied  with  tlic  portraits  ofj

have  furnished  ta  m  largely  with  records 
of  the  iDSlruclive  cveuu  uhich  befell  the 
Church  during  vo  impnrtanc  n  period  of 
her  history.''— The  following  reflection  is 
•t  once  Milt*  and  just :— "  In  the  con- 
TvlrioQC  which  ended  in  the  brcaking-up 
of  the  ftucicnt  ityntem  (i.e.  the  Roman 
Empire,  Ac.)  literature  nod  the  arts  re- 
mained  the  tmdifiJtd  p<irtion  of  the  Em- 
pire. Valour  and  iinccesA  were  on  the 
■ide  of  il«  enemies  ;  but  tute  and  learning, 
Kored  by  the  rudeness  of  the  etraogere, 
fondly  clung  to  the  venerable  remains  of 
Rocnan  civilization.  While  mjcirty  in  the 
Wett  aasumcd  that  picturcH]ur  and  ro- 
mantic form  which  tiupnrti  the  charm  of 
interest  and  beauty  to  the  darkeit  periods 
of  the  dart  ageii,  the  Kust  remained  what 
it  bod  been  for  more  thnn  a  century.  TAe 
Batten  Empire  had,  [f  I  may  so  »ptak,

history.  Id  its  protrarlcd  dcrlinr  it  re. 
tained  the  feelings  and  main  traces  of  an- 
tiquity, nmdified  only  by  the  Orieotijijtms 
introduced  in  the  time  of  Coni  tan  tine. 
While  thw  West  was  displnying  all  the

At  a  meeting  held  Oet.  ^,  the  Rev. 
the  President  of  Trinity  Ci>ll.  in  tbe  chaJr. 
an  tutcrcstitiK  piper  upon  IHIey  Church 
waj  read  by  C.  T-  Newton,  esq.of  Christ 
Church,  shewing,  by  a  carehil  compsrisou 
of  the  ornaments  with  other  buildiDfS, 
and  tbe  drawixiKs  iu  maDUfcripts,  that  it 
moat,  in  sll  prob'ihilily,  have  been  built 
by  the  monks  of  Kenilworth.  m  the  rcripi 


of  King  Stephen.  Some  remarks,  eon- 
Armini;  Mr.  Newton's  riew.  were  made 
by  tbe  chairman ;  be  obsorred  that  tbe 
figure  of  a  mounted  archer,  Sactttariua, 
or  Centaur,  which  occurs  at  ItQey,  wu 
the  hrraldir  device  of  Kin;  Stephen. 

Some  notes  on  tbe  Crypt  of  St.  Peter's, 
Oxford,  compared  n-ith  the  Chapel  in  tbe 
White  Tower,  Londuu,  and  the  small 
Church  of  .Sandford,  near  Oxford,  tba 
original  portions  of  which  ore  in  the  ^ame 
early  t.tyle.  and  a  few  general  observatioua 
on  the  style  of  Uie  twelfth  century,  were 
read  by  the  Secretary. 

Durini;  the  vacstioa  the  namber  of 
Books,  Casts  and  Models  has  been  much 
increased. 

Nov.  19-  A  paper  on  Haseley  Churob, 
Oxfordshire,  was  read  by  the  Rev.  T.  W. 
Weare,  of  Christ  Church,  illustrated  by 
scfcral  drawings,  showing  that  the  nave 
of  tbe  Church  was  built  daring  the  period 
of  trsasiLion  from  tbe  Norman  to  the 
Karly  English  Ktylut,  and  was  probably 
completed  about  the  year  13:20;  and  the 
Church,  which  is  a  very  beauciful  piece 
of  wurk,  about  the  end  of  the  thirteenth 
century :  (his  bears  considerable  rcseui- 
blaucc  to  the  choir  of  Merton  CoUegs 
Chapel,  bnt  is  dreadfully  mutilated  in  the 
interior  by  a  low,  fiat,  plaster  ceihng, 
which  entirely  concesU  tbe  whole  of  tbe 
very  elegant  tiaeery  of  tbe  east  window. 
One  of  the  windows  on  the  north  aide 
has  been  destroyed,  to  make  au  eJitranee 
to  tbe  mausoleum  of  the  Blackall  family, 
erected  in  I70<),  in  the  worst  possible 
taste.  It  was  announced  to  the  meeting 
that  this  window  is  about  to  be  carefhily 
restored,  at  the  eipense  of  Walter  l^rng, 
esq.  uf  Ha»etey  Cnnrt ;  and  it  is  hoped 
that  tbe  Dean  of  Windsor,  who  is  Rector 
of  tbe  parish,  may  be  prevailed  upon  to 
remove  the  detestable  plaster  ceiling,  i^nd 
restore  the  east  window  to  view,  as  tb« 
whole  of  Che  tracery  remains  perfect. 

ikimt  eiiracta  from  the  MSS.  of  Mr. 
De  la  Field,  preaerved  in  tbe  Bodleian 
Libmry,  were  also  read,  confirming,  from 
the  Lincoln  Register,  the  dates  assigned 
by  Mr.  Weore  to  the  building.  A  few 
remarks  on  tbe  largo  altar-tomb  in  tbe 
rhaiicci  were  made  by  tbe  Preaideot  of 
Trinity.

fallen  into  decay.  The  new  tower  is 
lofty  and  handsome,  with  a  lantern  and 
flyit^  buttretac*.  The  chancel  wa&  olso 
decorated,  and  a  painted  window  in-

It  would  be  lomcthing  lets  than  common 
justice  to  omit,  that  not  only  in  various

her   PUitonic  admirer,  and    the  servile 
ndulatlon  of  bi>(  future  Biogmpher. 

It  was  during  the  ttrtt  winter  after  ber 
arrivul  in  Londuii  (I7H1),  that  Sir  Jo«huu 
KcytiohU  {uiiiitL>d  the  lit-iiutiftil  portrait 
of  tbit  lady  ivhich  now  enriclieti  the  Mar- 
fjuesxof  Laiisdowne's  Gallery  at  Bowood. 
She  ix  repreneiited  sitting;  on  a  sofa  in 
the  eastern  fn<>hion,  cuiiiuuiptatint;a  small 
object  wbich  she  hotd«  in  her  right  bund. 
She  once  told  the  writer  that,  when  ibia 
porlnit  of  her  wns  made,  the  was  lod^nf[ 
irith  her  hiiAband  in  the  Temple;  u/id 
tliac  the  trec-4  wbich  Sir  Joshua  Iihh  rc- 
presruted  in  the  buekground  were  those 
in  the  Temple  Gardeiu.  At  Anit  iihe 
used  to  give  the  painter  sittings  in  his 
KTtidy,  but  Reynolds  could  not  saCi><ry 
himself  wirb  her  Te<»cinblunce  ;  be  made 
three  atrcmpts,  which  be  successively  de- 
faced. Mts.  Baldwin  could  only  re- 
member, beside.'.,  that  he  Cook  a  prodi- 
gious quantity  of  snuif,  and  that  bm 
painting  room  smclled  horribly.  After  a 
few  hours  she  ulway*  grew  resrless  and 
cro<ui,  wbich  uwmI  to  vex  Ileytiolds,  who 
did  not  know  how  to  amnse  ber.  He 
tnade  bis  fourth  and  last  sketch  at  the 
residence  of  the  lady,  and  when  sbe  grew 
impatient  sii^estcd  that  4be  should  take 
n  book.  She  asked  for  Mcufttasio.  and 
while  reading  it  her  portmit  wws  made. 
Instead  of  a  volume,  Reynolds  repre- 
Rented  an  ancient  eotm  of  5"myrw»  in 
Mn.  Baldwin's  band, — a  drcum-Hiance, 
as  she  informed  the  writer,  which  was 
much  quiMcd  and  ridiculed  at  the  tune. 
Uf  thi»  painting  there  exist  severml  inez- 
zotinc  oiigravinM. 

In  1782-3,  Pyne  painted  aiiotlmr  por- 
trait of  her,  ot  the  size  of  life ;  but  he 
made  too  voluptuuun  n  figure,  »"*'  ^''* 
husband  was  offendt^.  The  ftftist  pro- 
cpvded  with  his  work  to  Philwlflpl'**. 
where  he  exhibited  it,  and  when;  it  pro.
