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.

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.

It is true that Mr. Scrojw saves ns from some difficulty, by entering, as
bold sportsmnn should, at once \\\w\\ his subject. He does not. ItKO hr
brother hunter of Tottenhtira Cross, cominr'nce his praise of his cmft, b
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(
and raging sea." These things he appears to have taken for nndiftput
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
that honest sport ," but in the absence of snch authorities, he is enabled
to bring forward tlie scarcely less illnstrions names uf Peter Fraxer, and
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-
diate subject, there is much to delight the Io\'er of nature, in the glowing
nnd picturesque descriptions of mountain scenery, which are given with idl
tlie brightness of the rising sun and early dew ujion them. Take the foU

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,!

kerpiag the open plains, ao that b« was

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

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^_

with some remarkable circumstances : ^^

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
creature indeed, who beat a cruel uL'^.ttifTc." fiuffon eon^iidt'rs thiti race of
dogs as original in our island, and that thcv were called by the aiteictits

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.
Uuakar upriuig Hntt, and, extraordinary
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

through the rocka like a goat, and tbe

THE Castle and TowdoF Laugh- from the retiring tide* of ages, the
barriers of which arc lofty oalur*!
N
ame ore distant abnot twelve miles
from Caermarthen in South Wales ;
and are built ou a etratum of red
argitlacentu Mind-6tone, which termi-
nates in a range of low mcka, that
form the wei^tern bank of the Taf or
Tave river. When the spring tides of
the Scvern-sca swell its watern, they
fonn a nuhic csluar)- or lake ; the inha-
bitanl« uf the lower part ofLangharnc
are obliged on these occaBions to atop
the crevices of their doors with clay
in order to exclude the flood from their
houses. At these times a ntde ancient
cross of black stone, which stands in
an open space, opposite *' the Gt-iiit,"
or large corn mill of the lordi^hip of
l^ugharne, incompletely btirrounded
by the tijR. From this eXfMinsc of
vratcrstheplacehad probably it H long re-
ceived nam«TaImcharne — contractcd-
ly from Tut y-Unh eirian, tlie bead of
the beautiful lake i still further abbre-
viated to J^arharne. Ijuji^harne, and in
the current proQunriutioo now re-
duced to the mo uosy liable Lame.
GiraldusCambrcnsis calls the place
Talacbar, but ii is said to hare had at
an earlier period another appellation,
Ahcr Coran, being seated at the con-
fiaence of the Coran with the Tave.
The former is a small stream that runs
in the valley from Llandawke, a paro-
chial district north-west of lAugh-
ame, and joins the Tave under tlie
walls of tJic castle. The Romano-
Britons had certainly some settle-
ment at Lnit^bnrne : its vicinity to
Mm-idumtm. Caermarthen, and it* har-
bour accessible to Bhi|>s of rnnderate
burthen, must have recuromendcd the
place to their attention.
EA bar of sand which crosses the
raouth of Laughamc river foims at

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§~
harne. This ancient document is still
preserved with the muoimeots of the
Cor[K>ratio», and is perfect, with the
exception of the seal. As a curious local

Biahops ; the castle now lay unroofed
and dilapidated, having been set on
fire by the victors of the Porliamcnlary
faction ; it was, therefore, uninhabit-
able^ and Judge Powel erected for
himself a residence at the Broadway,

particular in tracing the descent of
this royal deraeaue, ibe lover of topo-
graphical researches will pardon me ;
the majority of writers on Welsh
antiquities content tlicmsclves with a
few common-place descriptive repett-

aery and picturesque circumstaaces
than local historians. 1 shall next

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.
thai your reviewer a .i " will
l<ik0 a mnmancnt i i^st thn
water/a/s for the HiaU.u , .„ ..t.^Iand/*
he hMs «/ poiatcdty caoUon^A subsc-
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
quote the following { ^rn 4I

however, the editor, De la Roc|ue,1

ia no reason to suppose that the *pret<e

such defign. He probably wanted tot
be read, nud to secure that gratiUca-
tion at all events.
He conceived the idea of personating
a female authoress^ and of giving his
poetry tu the world as An* productions.
Of course it was necessary to assume
a diflereut name from his own, and
this he took from a vineyard called
Malcrais, which was situated near his
residence at Drederac. Under the
name of Mademoiselle Malcrais df la
'^J^ae, he farwardcc] some little pieces
of poetry to De la Roque, the afore- I

It was hardly to be expected that thai

name ; while if they were written out
by some one cUc, he eipoaed hiraseJI
tu the betrayal of (he secret. What-
ever plan he odoptcd, the device suc-

and not only Inserted the verses with-j

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

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.

wainscot, and is of hexagonal form,
aa well as the sounding. board, n hand-

The pulpit cloth and cushion ore of
blue velvet, now much faded ; but the

almost new. and are of the full size,
enjoined by the cnnoos so to be.
The pews extend 00 both sides from

The lateral compartments are occu-

both now literally totter on their knees.
The finit is " habited," as Ashmole
merely says, *' in the fuhion of his

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-

only two years old, and did not become

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.*

honorable gentleman. Upon which,
though well aware that such too were
the opiDinns of Mr. Cobbctt on our

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.

deceived by Chauflrpic'. (See Gentle,
man's Magazine for August 1833.)
But a^ain, I feel that 1 have divciged

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 ^

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-

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

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

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*.
" Andl*etweiie Ibe cytceand thechircbe

as the fyre began to brenne aboute hire.
^Schemadc hire praycres to owre Lord,

and anon was the fuyr quenched and oute :
and the brundes that wcren breanyngc be*

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

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

to know nothing nf Kim bnt kiM name —
an abftractioH ol his greatness. On
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
excess
Of glor^' obscured —
till he feil a cerluin faintneBB come'
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
rfjual or "itly inferior lit thai oy"Milton.
All beside is the uncnn.^ious produc-
tion of Mr. I lazlitt 'ft heightening facul-
ties. To another modern poet ofjp'eat
fame lie attributes sentiments which
we cannot receive without some
stronger proof than the mere asecrtioa
of the essayist.

vho think that the religina of all
nations, old and new, weie the same

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."

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
corrector of the Aldinc Press,) in his
verses prefixed to the Aldine Plato, —
describes the god Janus as Trifrons :
AtuTKaptap y*¥ti}t ipiKvdtos iUpov

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.

Why a TOW of true obedience to the

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

We have not often an opportunity

learned, and so aigumentative, and at

Legend and Rommice, African and Ewro-
peam. By Richard Johns, UttU.
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-
GO
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

raged the belief that he hoil fallen in
the battle, although his body was never

lieved that he had escaped and was

the eipectation of seeing him return
to claim the throne of his ancestors.

greatly invalidate Simon's supposition |

cunclusiunb upon tins subject were |
given some years ago in one of the '

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
kernel ; we think, however, that our
reaUpr« have a claim upon ue to know
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

peated bt4 motto. ' O,' nnyi be, * I was

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
doses. We take some remarks on the
doings at Court, apparently written a
few years after the Ke&toralion :

dole worth having; it furniahcs a

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
pound along with him, sod une ^ pound
lieu received from Kiije;lfti>d in all the
twelve jenfH. Hee Mies tlic Duke of
Ormand luid my Lord ChaDccltur [Cbt-
reudou] kttpt Iml two men api-ww when
they were tx'V'ond lyea with the King-.
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//,
and King Vhatle* the Firtt Mm correeti$iff

Edward's manner was lo hriog it to tfas
King every Saturday, after dinner, and
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
to Lambert, ' Vr'erc I as young as you, I
should not doubt, ere I died, ui knock at
the f^ates of Rome !' Some say that Oliver
had a drtiigne, when liri.^ had gott some

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.

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 :
Doctors in Civil Law. — The Earl of
Ripun; the Rt. Hon. S. R. Lushinijton,
late Governor of Madras ; the ChevuUer
Bunsen, Privy Councillor and Inic Envoy
of Prussia at Rome; Sir J. F. W. Hers-
chel, Bart. F.R.S. Corresponding Mem-

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,
Henry S. Grocme, esq. J. Guillemard,

John Ki^-kmon, e»q. Asri«tant Clerk of

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-
ship of harburous nations. It is not o\en-
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
boCh are examples of the gcneml practice
of the Roman conuucror« lo lolvnite the
worship of ihrir subjugated pruviocct, at

uf tlie fuBiily of Uc 1b Ueche, in the rhurch
of Aldwortb, Berkshire, illitstmled by
drawings by Mr. Thomas Hollis. They
are in all tune in ntunber; and appear
to have been mostly carved early in the
rtign of Edwnrd III. at «hioh time the
charch was enlarged for tlicir reception ;
though the costume of some is of an ear*
lier style, and may, consc(|oeatly, have
been copied from former slatnr* ; whilst
one, in f>«rticular, whirh, if jiertcrt, would

Mr. Urban, — ^Tlie OnttiU Hi»ttfitf%
dn Arh et Monument hat sent to all iti
correspoodeDta a list of questioni to whie
it requires onswcrs to be returned, rclatln
to the nnti<[tiitiri uf thr diMlrict In whio
each ei>rrcspontlrnt resiika; and if tfe
return be rosde with any thing like til
same alacrity and in the same numbers i
the circulars tltun disjiersed tlirougbout
Frnnce, in a few ninntli!* a rompletu cata-
logue of all the niitiquitit^ of the couul-rf ■
will be in the i»oiseasion of the Committe
Subjoined will be found an ciact trnoftl^
tion of these quesliuns. which in the or
ginal nre printed on a sheet, with snffinc
space left Against each qiiefiUoo for th
answer to be entered opposite to if ; an
to these is added an abstract of one of th
first returns that have been uudc, — on th
nntiquitii'B of Conica, Believing that ,
similar ^et of qaestions might be modifl
and adapted to tbc antiqidties of the UHtii
isUniLs, and circulated on the authority i
any comprtpnt iHidy — and none more
than the Antiqusrian Sucict)', — I bast«
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
these, addresM^d to the clerp^roaD oft
parish in England, could not fail of |
ing in a vast nnmher of intsreslf
turns ; and if they were dis
auiongst the local antiqusrian and
tific or literary soeirtir* nf Great Brit
wonld organise a system of inquiry th
could not fiul to be productive of the 1
results.
1 have only tn add, that I have evi
reoaon to believe that the Cvmttr ill»t\

After seTeral other occupationi, one
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.

of life, variety of character, livcliuc$5, and

MINOR COKUESPONDENCE.
The letter oa Tytkr's " EnglAnct" In
p. 22, wu written, lu it wu tnvrrtpd, in
too great hkste. The LovsH op llis-
TOftic Truth will find, on ■ rt-prruwU
of the review, that he biu miMiuotcd wlirii
be MTS that "the RcYiewer states that
Mr. Tytlrr h»» drawn an unfair inference
— Mr. Tjtler'a inference bein? that Cecil
con/ormHl outttartUff during Queen
Mary's reign to the Koman CaihoUc rdi-
giuu." On taming to oar June nvmhrr,
p. 57^1, onr corrtsponderot will perceico
that the '* overstrained" inference wliieh
it WM shown that Mr. Tytler has drawn,
i« that Cecil actunllf " b^ome a Romiut
Catholic," and '* embraced the Catholic
/aith.'^ It is in this positive assertion of
an actual changt of reli^tno that Mr.
T}'tler'a error consists ; whiLit the matter
of luiSre outward coi\formiti/ is juist where
it wma bffare Mr. Tjller's rt»e»rchcs be-

The art of Wood engraving is another which in modern ttiuefi has been
revirvti, or rather born anew, after being virlually extinct. Ongimiting
iu <rcrinany. where it wati the precursor, and probably the parent, of the
mon' valuHbte and now all-imjwrtdut art of printing, it spread over

than two centuries. At length it went out of fashion (for that

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
general adoption, it has at all recovered its former j>osition, and that only

for, though witbiu the last eight or ten

which, with the aid of stereotyniiig and machine-printing, the works of<
the wood-engraver have been diH'uscd in thousands nnd hunitreda of tliou-
BAods i nod the more recent illustrated publications, as the Piotorinl Bible,

At such a time, a work like the present, atom-e practical and historictil,

Mr. Chatto has discussed with the eonsidcratioii and impartinlitv which

fai Gravure en Bois," rcsjiecting the art of wood engraving having been
"■practined by a ymuig kni^lit aud his twin sister, named Cunio, at Kome,

very appropriately named Zani (for the renson he gave was that tt must
needs 1m! true. I)citig ^>Id by a Frenchman, who had no national partiality
in favour of the Itartans), and also by the late Mr. Ottley, who wua
rrrtninly over credulous on works of ancient art, and generallv inclined
to iithbutc them to too early a date. It i^*, however, treated with
ci^ntrmpt by Heineken, Huber, and Bartsch, authors of excellent
ontlionty un the origin nud progress of engraving; and, indeed, seems to
bare nnicinnted. together with the highly romantic [wrsonal histor)- of tlic
lirin artialB interwoven with it, from the iusane invention of I'apillou,
who is known to have been sometimes out of his right mind.
It u Tcistions to the sober and judicious inquirer to be tormented with
ihe troable of removing from his path such rubbish as this ; yet he cannot
eatirvly p»s8 it by, when it has been not only noticed^ but advocated by
prettovt writers, who have attained to considerable celebrity and authority.
IB tbc present instance we thus encounter our own countrymen, Ottley

vhich ia conrae of time they tued to lijft-

P'faoce the tame kmd of cuts, probably
"■tencil-rolonred, were called 'dnmiiiM,'
— the atRoiry of which name with the
Grrman flrlgen ia obvious. The word

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

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.

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.

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

plate and wood engravers j " niid to tbeac (aa we perceive UJereJy from a
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

He insinuates that Monmouth was Robert Sidney's son, audnot t]ic King's )

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-

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.

low of the Society of Antiquaries of

cerely apologise. 1 cimniil, however,
hut conceive bin reading and acquire*

has sufficiently displayed in the pro-
grean of his essay his acquaintance
(viih the early Norman writers to en-
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
crntury. Hin authoritic!!, no from
cuurtcsy to terra them, aie like the

diversion which their numbers, noise,

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

" 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

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

not clear whether ihev were the coasla

We have a full pixiof that the Phm-
nicians went out into the Atlantic
ocean in the exi&tencc of their Bciilc

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

us to understand that tin was in use
among the Greeks at the time of the

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

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-

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 ;

HtBToaic Doubts. — William Tell.
M. a\RU. in his History of Dri-
tanoy, expresses himself with some
asperity on the subject of Iliaturic
Doubts. AlluJtog to the tjuetitian
which has been raised concerning
that interesting event, Iht Batfte v/

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

dut-» nut scruple to make the most of

Orleans and Anne of Uriiauny : tlie

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

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*

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

There is also an Englisb version of

occurs afier the acra of Tell, It la

"The names of the TTircc Archers,*'

Percy has given it in his Reliquos of

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

Dr. Percy places the ballad contoi

of that date, the characters probabl

much earlier period. Thcdeer-&tcalri

five gentlemen who ait tljed a few weeks
after dining together at Sull-htll, in Buck-
inghamshire, in conBequrncc it wiu said
of having eatea certain pimonous viands,
but more probably ftx>ra having caught a
fever of some pauper they had eiaiutncd
in their magisterial uspucity.*
Of these atchievcments, Nos. I. 3,
3, 5 and 6, have beco taken down
because it is stated that " Bcarcelj- ai
part with the exception of Ibr-ir frami
remained," although we had ao d '
cutty in deciphering them five years
Bui audi memorials should never be
moved. It 14 their age- that gives them
value. When intelligible they «re
sometimes theonty records of important
facts i and when defaced, and even lat>
lercd, are not inapt objects for tmprr
ing on our minds, (and where m
properly than in achurch?) "the pom;
and vanity of this wicked world." ^
No. 1. if put up. as we conjecture
io Ij79. was perhaps the oldest hatch-
ment in England ; pennons, banners,

at that period the usual family mcmi
rials placed about the tombs offiobi
ty and gentry.

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.

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:«'

other ; " hence i',
Plautus has done ju&uco to the
original. O'Neachtan ka$ not.
But I have yet tu mention the

ur
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
Phenicians being famous fur the ma-
IAS
TAe Gaelic Controversy, — Punic and frith.
[Aoff.
nnractares of their looms, the eicln-
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
aurprUcd that to shallow n boat
abould ever have gained crL\lil with
men of learning, or should have
remained a moment unexposed by
them. I can only Euppose that the
»ch(ilnr« (if Iri'ltiiid ilul not exairunc
the (ubjcct wiLli that ligiiur It dc-
scned. The leoriird uf KngUtiil
biing iinAct|aaintcd wiih trtsb« rnighl
believe or disbelieve in it as they
pleased, only they could not in fair-
ness deny what they did not under-
stand. Hence the question is still
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."

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

G'n. iui;t:tiuitv in the mudtf bv wLirh
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.

verses the Welsh version had words
totally different. This xa really antJ

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

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

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

KUSpiriouscliAraclcrs.it will Im wbi>
t/om to iay fljvJde hts mask, lest hv
'^ou/d be loiMtuken /or one of Ihroi.
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,
D. Fnnntu.

it now before rne — published on the

of ccintnbutors 1 i-annot disptitL', for
it is inviftibJe ; but 1 »liall not hesitate
to communicate, in that spirit of crili-
cism which may bttome a man who
u conscious of no interested or siots-
motivc, such short remarks as a
'^raory perusal of the specimen have
led me to make.
It was a peculiar feature in the plan
of the EncycloftittHa MrtritjtoUtana to
treat History and lliography under
one head. On the publication of part
XLVII, about the 1st August 1836*
DO intended deviation from the plan
waa announced. Soon afterwards,
bowerer. Mr. Murray having issued
the proapectuB of a New Hiofjrophiccl
Dictionary on an extensive scale, the
impracticability of that combination
of History and Biography was ad-
mitted ; and tt biographical division
of the work, to form two quarto vo-
i.lumes, (.'qual in quantity of matter to
•ixteen cloiicly'printed octavo volumes,
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.

graphy i 'Hte most remarkable cir-

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
rejoicet in ttome huDnnu -n prrwimffe*
wliu Lsve boruc tliis name."
" AcofeXA. Puttusal njaieti in leveral
jtemont nftbisuonie, which wu oHgiaaUy
irritten Da CobIa.''
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.
" Apaus. Many are the |>crsons of

lliis group consists of ten peraaaa^

ibc diicovery of the Itbnitiun of the

Brahc. In the article Abul Hassan
it is sail], " one of his works waa

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
Uave, p. 33/ ' A. H . 889, or A . D. 1404 ."
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

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
middle of the scveuteenth century.

that it waa undertaken by royal com*

lished at Madrid, 1740-51. folio, 12
volomes. His son Don Felix Abreu,
who published a learned Tratado 9t>br*

was successively Secretary of Lega-

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.
hommed became alarmed for his own
dominions. And well he ntiyht." —
We read that, "Of the period wbcu
j4£neaa Tacticus lived, nothing is
ihiomi /or cer/oin." — that the letters
of .JLLiAN have been " applied for the
illustration of Aristophn/ies, o/trnrr
than oner." — that Alexander Adam,
assistant to the master of the High
School at Edinburgh, became thr rtc-
torhinue^." We arc also informed. Art,

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

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

that there waa some danger leet the asme

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

work, when wc were interrupted by

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-

good fortune to record. Nor could
the satiafaclioo and pleasure with

that is to &a.y, within the eound of

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.
The importance of this CullcctioQ
of Scotish Melodies, therefore, ia
illustrating the History of Music iu
that country, will he fully felt by our
readers, when they consider that it te
at least one hundred years older than
the earliest cocupilaliuu of the kiud

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,

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.

It is highly desirable that thne

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

The author has commenced with
Carlisle Cathedral, which, from the
remoteness of its ailuation. in adil

THIS is in reality a very clever
tract : it IB prefaced by an apposite

somf biting strictares on iht' practice

suggests the tutal banii^bmvnt from

I'he door nt Manian, a |>oiot<d arcb,
is dated 117-1 ; but the deUil and ar-
raogctnent so closely resemble the
works of tliu period nf our £dward
the First, that wc roust pauac before
wc give our assent to the correctness
uf a date bo early. We know prac-
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

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.

bterw prnacnta an admtratilr* likenris of
Ims Munsty. and on the rcvtr rac is this
bscriptioa, " Yictona Dritaoniarum R«-

roonded by ■ wreath of oak leaves, fas.
tened by a knot couipo»ed of the rose, the
thiitle, and the xhamrock. The delicate
5aish of the lesves, and the boIdncM of
the relisf, are amonpt the highest efforts
of modem art.
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.

^it J. R. Caniar. Bart. - HJl
Samuel Grove Price, m^. -374
M. Brydges^ esq. - - i3J
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.

worthy of remark, in that verivrable Utiiversity from wliich it takes itfl
name. Whatever in its varied series of ardiilectural decoration — in its
rich and numerous libraries — in the pictures and statues which adorn iUi

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

ternal evidence or by public report, with aoy of tlic writers who have

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^
to the Life of Bishop Fi8her,t as one of the Founders j the account
whose promotion to a Uishoprick is too iutcresting to ouiit.

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

of Roger Cotes, " Vir, si quis alius, orchitectunc, sculpturao, picturfle,

and the first matheiuatlcianof bia Uuiversity. The inscription is from tho
pen of Bentley. He died at the early age of 34.

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

prohibition arose, wc nrc inclined to think, Trom r praiseworthy auxiel^
for the mornls of jouth in r very dissolute tt^e. M'ith regard to tlic luor
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.
John's i ihc celebrated Latin comedy of Ignoramus, by George Kuggle, of
Clare Hall (and which is tlic only Latin play of thnt nge which is still
read) j Albumaii^ar, nn English comedy, by Mr. Tomkis. presented by th
gentlemen of Trinity College; and a Latin pastoral of the same houseJ
entitled \1elanthe,t which was writtcu by Mr. BrtMikes, mox Doctnur.

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.

jrct of such encoroiam, to bare tiie ume

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

npprobnlinn of Beattie, and Ad. Smith, and Mason, and of c\ery one capabl«|
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

1' ■ Innpiut^o, hot to have written a little more' " To enable \in
t' ' thu jiiiitneas and delicaey of this critieism. Ad. Smith should
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
t^khlcs of chronology and uatural history, apply the jwwers of his genius
to finish the philusupbical poeui of which he has left such nil cx<pnsitc

joined, resemble the forked tail of that bird. Hence ic» Vhefs arowteg,
and, by an easy corniption, /(* Chcvaronelca, and thence Chex^ron. That
the object itself should be worthy of a place in Heraldry, offers another
difliciilty, and this is attctuplcfl to be solved, by tikcn'ma the f/lafe of iron
which tir/ciids the head o/' the toar-hofse lo i he carpenter a Chevron. This
piece of defensive armour was called the xhq^ron, whicli. as the etjino^
iogist waves his transmutiug wand, becomes ajjain Chevron; but we are
too old and wary to be caught in the traps which etymologists arc setting
for unfledged critics. We think shuffron is Cbam/renum. or Cham/rein in

From thia account of the illustrious family of Cbire, we make the follow-
ing interesting extract (p. 170.)
*' It is, perbsps, a singular thing that

Marmiou also to the time of King Henry
tlio Eighth, the Karl of GloncMlcr bavin^
become extinct Id the uainc uf Clare, a^
we hare seen, in the ret^ of EilwarJ the
Second, and on the field of Bauiiorkbum.
The baronial haune of Manniua, was, in
iu eldest line, extinct at iin earlier {KrioJ.
We have Keen also that the union of tbo
twolioniesofC'lareand Marmion.na repre-
sented in the poem, is in ]ioint of fact at
variance ia the litf^tory. The prolonga-
tion of the titles of l^htrc, fvnJ the mxir-
riage of that house and the Morniion rnce,
however. tbou;;h nut true, do nut impute
any stain to the lineage so uuUecd : but
an earlier poet, S. Pcele, the drainalist,
who waft dead A.D. 1590, in bis play,
entitled " Edward the Firut," gives as
some Kcucs reflecting the gmvc»t scamlala
on the chartu-lor of Qutrn Elinor, ami
affixing the ^taia of illf^timncy on Joan
d'Acred, wife to Gilbert de CIor«, father
to the illtulrtooa foundress of this Col-
lege. It is (lb^'toua that the whole rcjire-
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-
tioQ which Queen Elinor bore towards
her husband, is a matter of hbtory. The
slury, fabulous or true, which repre*eat«
her as sucking' the poi»on from her hus-
band's wuuud in the Holy Land, if; a suf-

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-
|il: and uf indulgent leganl towards his son, of who^e talents he
t.. .a high estimation, lu one of his early poems, Milton thus

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
wholcflomo food. See Aiuhersfs Tcrrae Fiiius, p 5, et i>a$8ini ; and Roger
Coke's Detection, p. 'J2, ji. C(i5.
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,

And ailvcry sweet tliy lute's enchanted sound

Tlien follow the portraits of Cowley and Crashaw, which
with taste and elegance : but wc must r»'9erve for our closing
litifrfl on D. Jonsou and Gray.

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.

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
same, though somewhat differently
constructed. At length it is to be

'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

IT has oAe.n occurred to me. whiiti j
taking a review of the present state ofl
Anglo-Saxon literature, tu eodeavonr, '
by means of imjuirics in the Genlte-

Anglo-Saxon language was ever ei-
tinct in England. A few days ago^ J
whilst looking over Hearne's Glossary I
to Robert of Glnuceslcr's Chronicle, 1 1
met with a " letter concerning a bookl

Without a knowledge of the atroog
aspiration of the A, by natives of tho

but with that knowledge it willappeor
[tiainly that their prnnunciation of
words which retain the Anglo-Saxon
form, approaclies very nearly to that
which ia elucidated by the rules given
by phiblogers for our guidance in the
Anglu-Saxon. With this in view, the
accenting of hror. in any other way
than by tenglbening the open sound of

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.

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

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-
ttun, and t)ie eign of the cross was

uame of the wood itself seems to corro-
borate— and lliat alt the persona by
'whom they were inhabited hevtog felt
a prey to the dcTOAtatioD of a plague,
by which the country was visited, they
were deserted and left to fall io ruin ;
but an intelligent irienil ban since in-
formed me that he has read — that ad-
joining the brook which runs on the
anuth of, and near to, n place called
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 ?

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

there teemn to be nu just ground fur
rejectiog the storj-, though it» authen-
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,

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

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.

observing that tbcir astronomy, de-
bawd by astrology, like ours at the

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
scholar and theoretical musician would
be a great acquisittuo to our musical
literature.*

suit n central cbatiog »ix inches in
height, by four nnd a half in width.
On each side the central ornaments
are of the same ftiEe, but the suhjecta
somewhat difTerent, nod inscribed,
"College Youth, 1637"
The M9. commences witli the names
of the company nf College Youths.
" according to their time of entrance
in the said society tilt this time : only
80ch 03 have left onJ deserted the
company are left out, and not men-
tioned in this catalogue." Tlie first
master mentioned is Lord Brereton, in
iCl"; the second, Sir Cliff Clinon ;
and The last. W. Hilder. in 1754.
At the other end of the volume '%•,
an account of the changes runi; by the
com|Huiy, begiiinrng with St. Itnd^el's
qUom St. Bride's. " The company
rung on Tuetday, Jan. 19th, xy^A, a
complete peal of 6,06t» grand«ire
cinquefl. being the first that has been
done."
B«lls certainly were la qm in the
Saxun churches ; for two are shown in
a tower in the Benedictionale of St.
j£thelwold ; but when their num<
ber became augmented, so ai to allow
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."

whether the passage in Josephus
nughl not to be rendered '* Propter

it ia most certain that Polybius. whudc

he seeniB, through the whole course of

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]

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-

'* I am ashamed to relate what I fear Is

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

" In his school, as in every thing else

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 ?

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
* From fancy's golden wings ! and now in sooth.
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.

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.

Author the slur of a mean descent and
the Ui»crrdit of a aervilt* office ; but it
baa been shewn, that the ibrmer. even
if it could havu ofrccted the r|Qcstton,
was untrue, and the latter was acrvile
rather in name than in fact. Wcldon
was dcscrnded from on ancient family,
oriRinally of Wcltdcn, In Xorthumber-

his father may have bet^n one cause of
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
himopportiiniticfiorotitaiiiingconfiidc-
rable insight into enurt tiecrets. and
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-

view. Sir Anthony's hook wa» drawn

Review. — Goodman i Coitrt of King Jatnct I,
[Sept.
*'all that are faithful in the land"
arewaroei] "to take heed how they
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-
pable prejudice against the subjects of
nis satire.

pamphlet entitled, 'llic Court and Cha-
racter of King James," &c. This book »
which has been attributed to Dr. Hey-
lin.was written bv William Sanderson,

the Lives of Mary Queen of Scots, and
her son James VL" London^ 1656,
folio; and also of " a compleat His-
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,
very dark) that the Queen was gone to
council, and if joa will see the Qoeen
yon nnat coma quickly. Then we all
nm% whaattwcout|BtMw«r«NtoFaB,
and DO man did hinder 05 fn'^oi coming
in. There vt L-ime vherv there was a
f»T ertater rompasy tbin was nsually
at LcnteQ Srnr.-^a« : and when we had
$:aid there &n *.-:'tir sr. 1 tbst the yard was
full. tL«re beinz a numlKr ot torche*. the
Qocm came oat in pre^t state. Then we
cried, ' God sart: vour Majesty 1 God save
yonr Majesty :' Then the Queen mraed
onto US, and said, * God bless yoa all. my
eood people'.* Then we cried again,
' God eare your Majesty ! God save your
Majesty :' Then the Qneen said again
onto us. * Yoa may well have a gmter
prince, bat yon shall never have a more
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.)
" How incredible is it that we chnrdi-
men should discern by his coantounee a

Our next extract iti of
" A merry pnsunge bclwern the Kiog
and Count Gondomur, the ^rrjit Sntuiish
AoilidFiAdor, who nt one lime hau wnie
occiwion to confer in Latin, nnd soine-

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-

of many ini^re*,lienti, out nf which pic 1
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-
lities, be knew the King's dU]Ktitttion rcry

who accumpautcd the King into Kn-
gland, the venality of the courts and
thfi inllucnci* urine lawyers, ore the
principal jiointa which the Itishop'^
book proTca. The flrbliswcU known,

fttstc to which the Kiog's aflajrs wcxc
reduced t
" When he [Sir Lionel CrJiafieldJ

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

" You will never tot mcaJanc. J mould

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.

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

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

uf the memoir under notice, becoming
then for the Br&t time known to him,
" as a roan greatly given to seek and
search old records and nuocient wri-

the decipherer "did forthwith shew
and impart two or three old writings of
evidence concerning the said his landa,
of which one wai very old and had
lieen trodden under the feet, and by
that means the letters were almt»st worn
out—" What a treat this discovery
to a genuine antiquary like Hooker!
" — nevertheleas this man did read them
and declare the effect of them lo him."
The result was Sir Peter Carew laid
his claim before Queen Elizahcth in
Council, obtained her Icttcri to the
Lord Deputy of Ireland, authorizing
the invpKtigation thereof, and repaired
to Dublin, where oa he rode through
the streets on his horse, caparisoned
and furnibhed with a font cloth, onold

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

which is written with accuracy of ar-
gument, and elegance of style, and is

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
280 Kxvtnvr,-'€(ttahffuei of Dvrfiam Cathedral Librnry, [Sept.
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 . —

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

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.

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]
thelyon," inatead of Markham.

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

To no one but a man endued with ibo
qualities which Sir B. Stcpbcn»on poa-

manly spirit under the nicest rulen of
discretion, unfailing zen), perfect dtsin-
tcn-stedness, and spotlcM integrity.
In all his transactiiws, every ihoiiffliC

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.

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-
saries ; he measures his own strength and theirs, and he feels the respect
which he pays to them, reflects an additional dignity and value on himself.

amor vcKtatis, est res pra:^clara ct magni faeienda ; at sine veritatis amorc,

obsermtions to the narrative, which Mr. Milnian has enriched with liis
notes ; not witli the foalibh ambition of a rival, but rather to shew our
respect for his labours, and the interest which we feel in his admirably
arranged and executed work.

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."

the literary merits of this work, our ooles arc too copious to extract on
the present occasion.

MiDiBter, and perhaps the legislator of the French monarchy.* '—Of tfaif
lady, the mother of Kladatne de Sta^l, mnch coriaua infonnation might be
given. — She forbad her husband to bury her. and imposed oo him the
painful charge of keeping her corpse in a glass case. In Dccemher 1M07»
she had been removed to a fitter abode. Before her death, she had written, it
is said.aboveybur hundred leticrs^ which she distributed among her friends,
uith nn injunction to send one etcry month to her husband^ as if comiug
immediately from herself in the other world. The body of Madame Necker,
full dressed^ and preserved in brandy, by her own request, was shown in
that slate to visitors for several years. The austerity of her temper and
singularity of her disposition are weW known. See Bakewell's Travels,
vol. ii. p. 69. A volume she published, called " Melangea," we have never
been able to meet with, but have heard it much praised, In the Mnn-
uscrits dc M. Neckcr, p. 200. is a curiouH passage^ iu which he attributes
the King's speech on the opening of Parliaoieut in 177", on the French
joining the Americans, to (libbon : he says Gibbon confessed he was the
author — " Je soup^onnai M. Gibbon, et e'est parcequeje le lui dis dans
la suite qtie je sits [lar son aveu, ce qu'il ne ro'auroit juts dit de lui-m£mo."
P. 114. To what Mr. Milman says of the work of Mons. du Beaufort
we shall add a reference to Bibliotheca Parriana, p. 3 13, note. "' This book
produced a full refutation from Mr. HDoke." — On the work, sec Twias'a

P. I::t0. " 1 was introduced to Lady Heney, the mother of ihejpresent
Earl of Bristol." This, we presume, was Mary Lepell, lAdy Hervcy,
whose Letters were published in 1821, who is celebrated in Pope's >-erse8,
and of whom we possess an elegant drawing by Richardson. There is alfo
a small print of her, S. (i. sculpsit.
P. 137. "The perfect comiKuition, the nervous language, the well-
turned [>eriods of Dr. Robert&on inflamed me to the ambitious hope that (
might one day tread in his footsteps." Mr. Gibbon conftnes himself
here to the praise of Kobertaon's style. What say the erilics on the
matter? "The reader must beware of following Ktibertson's Romance
—his so called History of Charles the Fifth." (Europe during the Middle
Ages, Lardner's ('yd. i p. -80.) — " What Robertson," suya Mr. Soulhey,
*' h»s Euiid uf Ant. Solis. may be applied tn himst'lf. I know no author ii|
any laogiuigc whose literary fame has risen so fur above his real mrrits.'*
V. Omniaua, i. p. 141. — *' The reputation of this author must rest upon
his Histor)- of Scotland, if that can support it, — his other works are
miserably deheient." F, Southey'a Brazil, vol. i, p. 639. Yet Robertson's
account of private w.vfare during the middle ages has received high
S raise from Mr. Halhim : V. Middle Ages, vol. i. p. 23 1 . We U-lieve that
urke reviewed his America in the .-\uuuat Register.
Itud. " The cahn philosophy, the narelese, inimitable beauties of hif
friend and rival (Hume) often forced me to close the volume with ft
mixed sensation of delight and despair." — Mr. Landor iiirorais as that
'^ the style of our historian, Hume, is evidently takcu from a Frcneb
trnnslation of Marhinvelli." Sec Imag. Conv. vol. i. p. 27A. ^o hltlc

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-
lam's Midd. Ages, v. i. p. 128.
P. 1 61. " I laid aside for some time Le Clerc's Bibltothtque Unher»clle
to look into the Biblivthtque Cholsie, which ia by far the better work."
M. de la Croze assisud Lc Clerc in the Bibl. Unirerscilo, but not iu the
Bibliotheque Choisic. He wrote the eleventh volume entirely ; but the
render should be informed that it was a Mons. Coniard de la Croze, often

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

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;

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
to the nominal one. The words of Tactzes are these —

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

the above hfrt i« amply safficient tu

&• 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

Tdiire It nnt in a straielit lioe. but

|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

wards aonotated ; but the article

knowledgroenl. from Chalmers. The
new biographer atateit that Agard was
appointtd Deputy ChaniberlaiD of the
Exchequer in 1370. f conceive that
Wood lias misled both Campbell and
Chaltnera : Sir Francis Palgrave hos
printed a copy of his appointment anno
pn'mo Jaeobi I. He afterwards re-
marks, casting two of the periods of
Chalmers into one. that Agard nam-
bered " among his coadjutors and
friends all the most eminent and
learned men of hi» age ; and when, in
157'i, the fir^t society of antiquarians
was formed by Archbishop Parker,
hu name appi>ared at the kftad of the
liUt of distinguished members." Why,
fthts is a most infelicitous attempt at
Pthe philoaopby of biography ; for. as
rit hoppens, the list wan atpkabetical !
Chalmers and the new biographer shall
oow appear in juxta-poeition :
" In this society, Apird read tAf$e
Mys, which bare •fiace be«n publisbcd
Heame, in his ' Collection of Carious
1730 and 177S, S vols."—
" In this society he read /Arre essays,
published by Heame in his collection
of Curious Uiscoarsei, 1T30 and 1725,

The new biographer converts thp*^
essays into Mree essays, and imme-
diately enumerates fir. Only ^re of
thove enumcnited were published by
Uearne ; but Jiftmt nth*^r essays, to
which nu referetice whatever ia made,
appear to the edition of 1775. He
points out a MS. oi Afcard in the

Ralph Aooaa, tiie snnreyor sod en-
graver, receives the tribute of twenty
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.
vidus no answer. 1. Where was Aken-
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>

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

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

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.

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

tan's favourite jester, died liut week.
He held his post under different Sul-

tan Mahmoud having no relt&h for
such amusements, he was principally
employed to ket-p him in good spirits,

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
^jl In - ^ -ni.'it the compact red »tonc
of 11 lit in half, and are from
tiaiL .. ..uj. turned up by the gardener
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

Sir John Pcrrot assured to the bur-

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

Gay Brian's charter. TIic ancient
fair, according to the survey, was held
on the festival of the patron aaint of
the Church, St, Martin's day, No-

liam III. rclurn was made to a writ of
aiiqaod dantaunt, directed to the shcrtflf
of Caermarthenby the Lord Chancellor,
that it would not be to the prejudice
of the Crown or others or of any mar-

Ks([. his heirs and assigns, should

and other merchandise ; one fair to be
held on the b\h of June, or if that

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^-

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,
that "the exclusion of Catholics fmm

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.

Goethe, in these conversalions, throws

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

" 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
to begin again ? If so, there would be
no advance. As regards ourselves,
we arc in some measure somewhat
excusable in our errors, because we
have not shaken off* the old leaven ;
but the world may justly dcmanil
more from those who come after ua
than from ourselves. There is no re-
trograde in the march of society ; it
roust progress, taking advantage from
toat which has preceded it. and pro-
fiting from our experience. It is not
enough to make strides to attain the
end, but every' step most have its
particular purpose.*'

you depart yourself, and to whom you

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
feuch a degree that a faBtidiousntss of
taste, amountiiif! altou^t to a m^-rbid
fcelr. . ' . ,.■ ■ '
inft-
Whivii ii'>i .HI ii'- fj- i-i'i '■•i-^f.tu^ i.Lii
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 Dontar.
Naplea aboandi with Eoglikh,
among whom U my old friend Lord
Du'llcy, a6 clever, amusing, and ec-
centric OS ever. The eccentricities of
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,
however, entertained by others, or. at
least, if so, are nut acknowledged,
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
a year, and wilting to give fiefiueot
and good dinners, must be 03 mad as
a March hare bufure people will ad.
mit that he is more than eccentric.
Lord Dudley thinks aloud, expresses
his opinions of persons and things^
not o^ea in a flattering tone, to the
persona of whom he is speaking, much
in the style uf thecliaracter^in IStadame
de Geniis' Palai'* do la Vt-rit^. fre-
quently producing the must ludicrous
efTect. As I have known him long
and well, and have perfect faith tn his
goo<l-aature. I can only nttiit>ule tlicse
vxamples of hi»/«C'»J» d^jiailer to aft-
trvrv ti'ewprU, and not, as many of his
acquaintance do, to me'ehaneft^. Con-
versing with a muloal frieod on tliis
topic, two days ago, he declared his
coavictiun ih&t Lord Dudley only
aflacted the absence of mind eu much
commented on, as giving a privilege
of telling di>«^rcuable trutlu'. So
much for the discourse of friends. —
" Nol n'» ! he is far from being in-
sane," addod : " he never throws
awav his money in buying thtu^t be
can do without. Never k-nds a gm-
IMti on any pretext whatever ; never
mftkcs a present ; — looks sharply Into
his stewaril's accounts, and givrs ca-
pital dinners. So he is nol mad, [ 'II
btaworo, only nn /jch tiriginnU and so
are many men of my acqoainlance. "
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 ;
and among the trees, the 6ac cedars
are contrastetl by a palm tree of great
beauty, whicli imparts an oriental
character to the picture. Terraces
rise over terraces, tilled with tlowrr-
tng shrubs, and giving a notion of tlie
banging gardens of Babylon ; and the
views of Vcsnvias and Naples seen
from them, with the Caudine forks
near Capua in the distance, form the
delightful prospect. " I oHeo think
of this spot," said Lord Dudley,
" when shivering In tlic rude breeze
of on ungeniol EngUirh spring, or
a premature autumn, when the damp
and chilly atmosphere has a.% baleful
ctTect on the spirits as on the health,
and wish myself an occupant of the
snnny Vilta Gallo : 1 assure you it
sometimes requires no little telf-eoQ-
trol and patriotic feeling to resist be-
coming a dweller in some such ptare
in Italy, and Icavingonrdampcountry
Beats and dingy London houses on-
tenanted."
M. DE LA M\BTINi:,
1 have seen M. dc la Maitiuc, and
greatly like him : he is very good-
looking and diatiiuftic in appearance,
and druiscs so perfectly like a gentle-
man that one would never suspect
him to be a poet. No sbirt-cotlnrs
turned over, no apology for a cravat,
no long curls falling on the collar of
the coat, no assumption of any fop-
pishncss of any kind ; hut jnst the
sort of man that, seen in any society,
would be pronounced hten ronime j(

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.

the lower part of the Bishop's figure,
with a considerable portion of the

remaining figure, St. iJohn the Bvan-

was committed by some of the la-

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-

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

In tiie course of our country ram-

the aiii of your voice in attrring up a
fccliog fur the preservation of theae
beauUful relics of tbc past. At Car-

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

The great cause of all this mUchicf,

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-

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 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

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*

With respect to "the Friinci de

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 .—

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
of thcmiddlc-Hgeg, until it finally dwindled toto the humble tai' '<tm
in the li'tfo*i. Herte, according to this story, is the daughter i, aod
queen of Hungary, Fluire and BUincheflcur, who also were ;i . ofa
very popular romance. Berte is betrothed to King Pepio^ and repairs with
her train to France; but there, by the treason of tnoyp in %rhorc

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 ■
or mother, and, in consequence, he flies the coontn', resolved to wander over'
th« earth until he has di-cuvercd hie parents, By a series of accidents he

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.

united tiiera in blood with the other Teutonic tribes.

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*,
that enliven the long period during which the hostile armies

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*
complishracnt among our Anglo-Saton
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.

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

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
Ibrni in value; the pAppis which it

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.

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

Of Athens, the author writes in a
most disparaging strain.

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.

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

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-
plishments.

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
391
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.

The notes, to long a» they onj con-

sion?. are extremely good and iicefal.
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-

of eight or nine years of age:

However, wc most confess that
MeroiBhen of this kind arc few and
slight, and only mention them as
a hint that may be worthy the at-
tention of the editor on future occa-
sions i for we are extremely well

THIS pleasant volume, which is the
fifth publication of the (.'ainden Society,
consists of three part»« of different
characters, and derivrd from »cv(>ral
sources. Tlic first part ia a collection
of anecdote* estmcted from the Har-
leian MS- No. (i395. a small volume
entitled " Merry l^ossagrK and Jests."
compiled by Sir Nicholas L'El'itrange,
Oeht, Mao. Vou XH.
Bart, of Hunstanton in Norfolk, in
the reign of Charics the First • " the
second part is derived," to use the
words of the Editor, " from the I-an«-
downe MS. No. 231, written by the
well-known John Aubrey, and con-
taining his materials ^with some sab.
aequcnt additions by Dr. White Ken-
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

From these various sources Mr.

his authoritiea by illualrativc notes.

family hifttorr. The L'EstrangeB were
loDg aa important family in the county
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
L'Estnu^e.
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
the real characters ofiueh mm life-like
touches which would bring thent before
• In p. (i. for lluod, resJ Hovel. The

lUughtot of Rirl.nra Hovel, Esq. of Ulil-
B, in ^'orfolk4
UB, with their habits ond assoeiates,
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.
Sir Julius Ctesar^ that man of
" boundlea* benevulpnec and pUilati-

the freedom of coavcfBOtioa and man-

one of which we will extract.

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.

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
the practice of" begging a man fur a

the crown of the custody of his lands
upon the ground uf his incnmpctcncy
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.
•' One was telling the tale of WtggoU«
who ninne another foolo off from Ibv
Castle Hill at Norwich, and as they tuai-
bled cryde out, * Now Poole, now Bar-
row ; now Poole, now Bsrrow ; ' and one
Mr. Barrow sat by, who, jealoos of the
speech, and observing many eyes upon
him, * Kay, Sirs,' sayes he, ' / am tlic

Tlioms, " contAinsKveral other tales (vti.
Nob. U, 1'.7, and IRH,) of Wiggelt, * the
famous Facetious Foole,* as he is styled

much too gross to be drawn from the ma-

the copy given by Mr. Thonia, save
that his authority baa erroneoasly in-

The accond part of Mr. Thonia'a
book consists of collecttons relating to
the origin of popular customs and su-
perstitious, iiuhjucid which have so
of^eo been discussed in our Magazine
that wc should have been pleased to
devote some time to their coos I deration,
but our citractA froin Part I, have ex-
tended to 80 great length that we can
merely point attention lo this part of
the volume, as containing several in-
teresting tttlditions to this branch of
literature, more especially in the
passages relating to " Dancing in
Churches" (p.80), "The Holy Mawle"
(p. 84). " The Funeral Song" Cp. 88),
" Cocklc.Bread" (p. 94). "The Pent-
alpha" (p. 97>>ajid"Hardmcn"(p.]ll>.
The same rcoAoo compels u» to paas

found some curious statements respect-
ing marvels and antiquities, &nd on

may be derived from Mr. Thoms's vo-

E^enerally acccptihle to the members of
the Caniden Society. Thry cannot
but feel much uhtigcd to him fur the
^reat pains and trouble he haft taken
in his illustrative remarks, many of
which are derived from work^ of fo-

which, as he has remarked, the antj-

with .Mr. Uobson in hia trsa*latioa of

stance, ''The name of cliis plant, 'Atfort^

learned Bishop of lincola, to whom it
ta tadicdouly dedicated. We should like
to see Mr. Mountain proceed in the same
manner, and. if possible, in somewhat the
same space i|iTe as summaries of the
writinga of Basil and Gregory, in which
bis taste and eru<lition would find mate-
rials worthy of them.

mii .Sims, M. A. l^mo. — This is an inte-
resting authentic narrative of a negrcss (
Goadajoapc, who, having obtained her*
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^'
duced to ojuiit her when living, but bas^
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
Zaim's tiU|ierannuated allowance fhim 41.
a year to *>/. n quarter ; and he was told
that ** Her Koyal Highness was all anx-
iety to smooth tlie path of tho poor wo-
man's last days." It was added that
•' This case ba* been read with equal inte-
rest by the Princess Victoria."—** It can-
not be aurpriaiiig tbal she cberishrd lo her
mind very ardent gratitude toward* her
royal benefaotrenei. When her majesty
was Ave years of age, Adelaide, as woi
very natural, had soUcilcd tlie favour that
she might see the child of the Prince in
whose service she hod once lived ; and
standing, as directed, when the Princesa
waft to pass, tbe latter put money into
Adelaide s two hands. Shi't related with
li\ely interest that ahc had hiurd that this

A monument to the memory of thi« ce-

Paddingtuii Church. It is the work of
Mr. BcLdcb, and will odd to his reputa-
tion- In front of a white marble aarco-
phaffus is carved, in very bold relief, the
figure of NoUckcDS, employed upon one
of bia principal works — the Monument of
a Lady who died in Child-birth. The
group is very fine ; the ututudea of the
figures graceful and easy, the body of the
dead child relaxed in the moment of dia-
solation, but stiffening into the ri^dity of
death. The likeoeir of NoUekcnsis ieor<
rect one ; it hna the character and man-
nerism of the old roan, and portrays his pe-
culiar look witjj great fidelity of imitation.

Nothing that tie art uf tbc shipwright

whether the iDummiei were preserved by

of importance is stated, tlut necklaces of

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
Testament formed n principal part, made
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
Kngland by tbe Norraani, published by
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
organ ol the body of Dissenters to wbieh
be bt'lonprnl. flc was also one of tbe
l)and of le&rned and ingenious men who
»upj>orted Mr. Southern m 7%e JUtro~
Mpfctire Jtftieit, as that work was origi-
iially coiiilucted.
Mr. Taylor was a Fellow of tbe So.
ricly of Antii(usrir-, and an urc^inional
uttendunt at their weekly meetings so
long as his health permitted, but we do
not fiml that be contributed to their
transaction)^. He took an active part in
tbe intended foundation of a Saxon So>
ciety. which led to tbe appoiiitniifnt of
the Saxon Committee of tbe Society of
Anliipinrie^. He jwned the Ivw trienda
uhu. in the beginning uf 18^ orif^inutcd
the L'timdcn •Society, and cuii Halted lu

was incapable ol attending any of their

itiltitif in the council cbumbcr of tSomer-

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^)

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-
grity as a mmi ; kindnt-sn and mudrsty as
afnend; submission and hope as a Chris.

dlntry cfaantcter. Lady llevter StAobope,
licr Ijirtli U dated in March 17(tti, instead
of 1776. Tbe marriage of licr parenU,
which took pliice in December 1774, pro>
duced three danghters, the eldest of
whom woi Lady HHter. Her father (the
late eccentric Earl Stanliox**^) after the
death of Lady Mahoo, which happened
in tlie year 1760, married again, and by
hin 3ud wife had three sons, of whom the
present Earl Staitbope ia tlic only aurvt-
TOT. Lady Hester Stanhope always ma-
nifested a ma^ubnc understanding, great
taleut^ for bualnesF. and very stroug per-
sonal fccUoga. Uer great »kill ai^ ad-
dreia in effecting the removal of her balf<
hrothera from the extravagant plana of
edncatiOD ami future dcatination avowed
for them by their rery lingular father.

ftation of Wing received into bis houic,
«id being permanently c«tablishefl there
as hii InloTcd and moit favoQrad femaJe
relation ; a condition that, with her par.
ticnlar views and turn of mind, might per-
haps be fairly repre»euted na the nearest
the &ummit uf human happinesa that any
mortal could attain ; but, liaa ! it waa but
tnntieot ; Lady Heater wai doomed to
witness the rapid decline of Mr. Pilt'a
health, and fiii.-illy to sQKtaiti the dreadfiil
shock of his toM. which carried withit tbe
utter reverse and extinrtinn of all her
mmforts, prospecta, and aapirationa in
this world. Such a proftratiou of all her
hopt-tt and expectatious, it an early period
uf her life, may be received u reasonably
occountini; for the ecccntrldtiea of her
tabieqacnt conduct."

THIS b one of those naiscellaneoiu rolumea, that the Grct-ks wootd

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-

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-

and such as must Ik* approved, for the temperance of il« judgments, the
sufiicieDCy of lt8 kDowlcdge. the aoundneas of its opinions, and the cor-

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,
Bays:— " Ibclicveit wilt bca^/>;)»'er." Itcamc forth aa the manifesto of
tbe Torief, and in justificatioa of their conduct towards the Duke of Marl-

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.

In private life he was loved and respected, was a good landlord, and kind

his tenant, dcsciilfL-s him much as lie appcnis in the Uuiiciad : a» a purlly

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

ease and careless gaiety of that pleiising writer. We innst give
a specimeo or two ; aud first, the followiog. written in Anguat 1/06.

In another letter, by which it nppeam that Prior was offered the

be says :

In one of his letters he congratulates himself, "that Betty is not

he directs his fanmblest fier\'ices to some one he calls " my Iiiuly Suis-

widow with a good jointure, Hint has Uqt goings, and is nut veiyskUtish^

odds — " Chloe's place being (juamdiu jie bene gesserit. the gipsy behaved
herself so obstinately well, Ibat I am afraid she will hold it for life."
We must, however, leave " Chli>e weeping," * and turn to gmvrr
themes.
Tlie folloning letter from Conj'ers Middloton may be read with interest,
as showing how truly be felt that his writings had been prejudicial to bia in-

We tbiuk that we have now extracted from this volume the parU of the
uiMt proiuiiieut iDtercst and curioeity ; it ends with some Uglit and pleaa-
iog poetry by a Mr. H. F. R. Soaine» a relative of the fiunbury fAmily,
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 :

the language, and the teuderne>4S of the sentimentu ; but they will lamsnt

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-

Sept. 29. Read (ialt's Life and Studies of Benjamin West the pninter,

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

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.

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

Byron some degree of oaFasiness. He

Byroa ba» always been high in hti

}>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'

of such a father be eipectcd lo be

MoHere, as a Ur&mttikt, is so
emiDent in his line as to aAlooish his

is read, the more his beauties are made
apparent. In thi» rc5pcft he stands
unrivalled and alone. Mis dramatic
delioL'Htiuns are of that high east,
that no oaf dare attempt to imitate him.
His " 3/art-,*' in which nil his great
poetic forces stvm to be concentrated,
works up ihitt character to audi an
excess as to destroy the natural affec-
tion between fattier and son. Such
are the grand qualities o( l)m work,

So charming and valuable i« thin

it an tnvaxiable rule to contemplate
him twm time to time, and always

to the roost eminent productions that
have emanated from the pencils of the
great masters of tbe Italian School;
for wc men of such inferior minds are
incapable of prcicr\'iDg, for any length
of time, the sublimity displayed in
such master strokes of genius ; we
most, therefore^ return to them at

This article is the biography of

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

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-

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-

first time. There are, indeed^ two

NATIONAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS AT WOOTTON UNDER EDGE,
GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
(With a Plate J
THE building represented in the
accompanying Plate was erected in
I83G, from designs by the Rev. B. R,
Perkins, M.A. Vicar of Wootton under
Edge, who superintended the work,
and to whose zeal and activity the in-
stitution mainly owes its existence. It
was intended to scnc the double dec
of a National School for giils and a
Chapel, if it should be deemed requi-
site to U8e it for such a purpose. The
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
the north entrance to Stone ('hurch,
Kent, an engraving of which ap[>cared
in the Gent. Mag. for Jan. Irt;i7. By
the exertions of Mr. Purkius the sum
rrl|ui^ite for tlie cuaLs of the building
ytm raiscil by »ubsci'iption, including a
snunificent donation of llOl. from the
U- ^•: • , " ■ : '»', ■-

above referred to was an additional
contribution of Mr Perkins. — The

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.

of justice, 04 may be accn in the latter

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,

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

disavowed by Gibbon, we arc bound
to believe him. Not no, however, the

The closing |>ages of chapter 3U, in

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-

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

to prnduce anything superior to bis
translation of Mootcsquiou's beautiful
illustiatiun of the power of religion —

part of a more extended parallel, baa
been applied by Gibbon (chapter
28) to Thcodosius, bowed in sub-
missioo to St. Ambrose'^ repulse,
after the massacre uf Tbcssalonica, and

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

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.

where, (page I9I. tome 2,} it is said

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,

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,)

■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

(lOth March, 1700.) he dared to ar-

consequence, vented with all the

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,

bis character with these emphatic
words—" U abandonna toua ses amis

for it must be borne in mind that the

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

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

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
recollection — " quwque ipse roi^crrima

sition to bim. His Lordship's ardour

ing to a Freadi Cardinsl, (page 5,) the
(^-repeated saying, " thst language

ofbis thooghts," of which the parent
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
ia me conferri," — (ad Famitiarea, lib.
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.
And when, at page 9, he states, in re-
lation to Mrs. FitzHerbert, the pe-
nalty lUtached to the marriage of the
possessor or inheritor of the crown
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-
* Cicero's jssloui assertion of his empire or supremacy of wit, ii half seriously, and
half hnmoronsly displayed In thia letter, wherein be complains that this dominion is
not protected, as it ought, from usurpers or intruders — *' quod parum diligenter

of the nayeux Tapestry, Inserted in

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

that of a somewhat Intii dale. "fll»

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.

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. "•

ray opinion of the aecounis renderctt

battle of HostiDgs, botli in my tett

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.

Ibei* circumstances of tbe conflicting
opinionfcof our early Engiislihislorians,
and of the weapons employed by dis-
ciplined armies in the llih century,
as of roach more interest and impor-

than any liyptrcritical shafts with
which, for my review of the tract on
the Tapestry, 1 have been assailed.
If Mr. Comey should persist in

ing him, Odo Bishop of Bayeux, I be-
lieve he will not be recognised in our
annals b^ any other appellative. All
other points ngain insisted on by my
antagonist I have already discussed,
and the matter with me is not how
far ray observations may have im-
pressed hia personal judgment on the
antiquity of the Bayeux Tapestry,
but how far, in the opinion of your
readers, the deductions which I drew
in reviewing Mr. Corncy's Pamphlet
have been dictated by reason, justice,
and impartiality. Nor did 1 treat the
subject without admitting hia literary
ingenuity ; not allowing, however,
that quality to pervert and mystify

Defeated Eve herself. To daily cope
With many a horrid squadron, many a troope
Of fierce and fiery darts, that chaige me home

auccessive alterations and iraprovc-

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.

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-

book with the closest attention ; and
if we have been particular in pointing
out its blemishes, the next edition wiU
not suffer by our doing so. While,
however, we dwelt on the mistakes
of others, candour requires that we
should acknowledge our own. In our

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»

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.

this work, have a li'iok-yartivn, when
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-
gestion,) she will be the most formid-
able rival that Nature ever hod ; or oa

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

important subjecLs. And first let us

into the hearts of the adult, was
acarcely probable, or could be ex-

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-

These, yon will say, are ftrong state-

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

a barrier against every species of improve-

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

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
ndvcrliHfiiii ' * Mr. Wright haa
added to 1 ; itiformatiou un
this pnru<.L..... .._ mie. and which
indeed has arisen nut from it. We
have said that the debates from May
I "tin to the ycor 1774. durmg the thir-
teenth Parliament, have remained
almost a blank i tliose who would
have reported tliem beinc strictly ex-
cluded. But ill AUodd's awv* N&atfW;

[Not.
dotes in ir97» tbe fulloirring curious
passage is found : —
*' If ever Sir Henry CavradUih rhouU

undnublcil mvumcy, hikI will gftvc «. more

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
copied. Iliebe debates aie. indpt-d.

one hundred apeethej* of liurUe which
have never been printed, and a great

Another portion is written out from
short hand notee, but the outline is not
filled up, a third part reraaios still in
iU brochygraphy. The speeches arr
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-

life of coniistent purity and holiness is
the cause of Christ's Church, this volume
is inscribed, by his sincere and affectionate
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"

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-

tion of the work, we are only able to

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

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

ftncty formed plinths aud elegant
capitals enriched with foliage, and the
windows lancet-shaped. The archi-
tecture is exceedingly pure, and the

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-

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

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^

tleman by no means unknown to our
rea<lera ; such eianiples are dcf^erving;!
of notice wherever they occur, and wo

publicity.

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.

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

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.

able sorwty, which her position in the
world conatantly sets before brr, and
the duties of domc&tic presidencf
vrbich & splendid establishment in the
country rentiers imperative, contrives
to find time fur the parsuits of anti-
quarian literature. We have another
tale of olden times prodoced by her
application and liberality, entitled.
Peredor the son of E%rawc, the same
raythological personage as the Nor-
man fabliaux have styled Fercival de
(lalies. which clearly indicates whence
they received the narrative. Here
then is another assurance thatthc whole
of the Mabinogion will in due course be
placed before the public with all the
illustrBtion& to be derived from the
beat libraries on the continent, as well
as in Ibis island.
At the commencement of the volume
is the coutiuualiun of the Korman
poem, the CbevaltcrauLion. which ap-
peared in the lat.! ; neit some learnefl
notes on the Forest itf Rrecelrande
and the Fountain of baranton ; fol-
lowed by a notice respecting the pro-
pcrliea of Llyn Dutyn in Snowdon.
We hAK then the Cermau versions of
Sir Ywaineby Hartraann Vonder Aue,
and LUric Turkhcim ; nUo the Scandi-
navian, Swedish, and Icelandic, the
last being illu&trutcd by fac-similcs
from two MSS, lathe Uritish Mu^icum.
A lithographic specimen from the
Llyvyr c^cn o HerjceMt m the libiar>'
of Je6us Colleee, Oxford, is prefixed
10 the talc of tVreilur the son of Et.
rawc, taken iVom the comracncfment
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
than that of tlic Lady of the Kountain,
it nevcrthelei^a aifunls its helps to-
vrardfl the clucidaticn of the manners
and habits of our auccstors. From
several examples the following may

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
•' word they wold none of his yeftes ;
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
pages 379 and 2HI. has been trans-
lated a "tent," which is according to
the ordinary acceptation ; but as this
Conveys tn the mind a mere coveriof
of rnnvoss, it had been belter to have;
kept mure close to that from which'
it was taken, antl Kngli«i)ied it hy tbe|

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<

The housing and surcoat being em-
blazoned like the shield, fixes the C08>-J

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
games within his memory.
Wc have, in this slight sketch of the
present number of tbe MabinogiooU
endeavoured to point out the informa-'
tion it is calculoted to convey ; and
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-*
vocal rewords of ministerial favour."

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
of itH architecture in averysatiisfnctory
manner; but we will now conclude with
the following very elegant verses, by
the present heir apparent of Naworth,
who appears to inherit the poetical
talents of his late grandfather. Frede-

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-

I^t 0/ Margaret Beai{forl, Coauteat
qfRiehmond. By Caroline A. Halsted.
— ^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-
tories by female hands.
Btport OH ihe Gtology iff Comiratt,
Dtwm, and H>»f Somerset. By U. T.
de la Beche, r.R.8. «eo,— Of this most
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
by order of the Lords Commissioners of
the Treasury.
Supplement to the Hlttory qf Briti$h
FUAet. By William Yarrell.— This sup-
plement has arisen chiefly from the com-
munications of Mr. Yarrell's friends, and
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.
We know no work in Natural History ex-
ceeding Mr. Yarrell's in fulness of in-
formation and elegance and accuracy of
illustration.
Hindoo Female Education. By Fris-
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.

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

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.

miscellany contains about thirty pieces,
in prose and verse, written in this coun-
try in the days of yore, in the various
modifications of the language from the
days of the Anglo-Saxons down to the
broad English of the fifteenth century,
To the philologist, as a book of exampki.
the oolmoa » unlntble : tad tberais
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 :
tak a fatte katte, and fla hit well, and
clene and draw out the guttes, and tak
the grees of an urcheon and the fatte of a

gyn wax ; all this mye nmal, and farse the

The following description of a child's
hornbook, in the same century, deserves
to be enshrined in the pages of an Ames

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-

naixsiiiii to tiive9tif;ate the quulitin of
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,
and examined I T'l edifices; and their col-
lected speciinenn have been submitted to
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
the ordinary causes of the decomposition
of the stone upon which Ihey grow.
** Aft an instance of the difference ia
degree of durability in the muuc material,
subject to the effects of the atmosphere i«

the erection of St. Paul's Cathedral ia

The UniTersity of Durham, requiring

iliftermined thi« year tu nppnjpriale the
old Tower of Durnam Castle for auch pur*

IS considered ba of Norman stnictnre,
(though probably great port of what re-
mains was crectrd in the reign of Edwanl
HI., by Uishop Hattield.i bud long been
going to decay, and was at length, nbout
fifty yetTB ago, dismantled, by reducing
the ujiper story, and throwing the mair-
rials uowo into the interior. Id doariag
out tlie rubbish for the pQrjrate abore-
meotioned, the workmen found the base-
ment story to consist of arched crypts,
much broken. Amonpt ihc rubbish in
these crypt4, or cellars, they were stuMeoljr
anrprised by finding several large bones,
nnd AS they advanced these accumulated
from time to time, until twenty vcrtebnri
and about ibe ivarae nnmber of ribs, of
enormous size, were taken out ; and in a
cnrpt or room uu Ibc opposite sitlt^ of tlie
tower, two lirge jaw buiiirs wtrn* laid bare,
TTiis latter discovery cmibled Mr. George
T. Fox (who gave an acoouot of the re-
mains at the fate meeting of the Rritinh
Asfocistion.) to detenaioe.from the form
and position of the jaws, that the bones

Oct. 9. The itplendid DocIcn and
Ship Canal nt t'ai-d\ff, «o munillcently
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
eiienl, but not on the ^itupcndtnift aralc
contemplated by hi* l^rdhhip. The ne-
UtifT. Mac. Vol. Ml.
k
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\

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]
tnithfl. .So strong are the calls of public duty, fto inen^ng the dc-

so orerpovcriug the interest aud iuiportancr of tt!iii|ioniry sobjccts, m
Dcccssary the 'untiicdiatr removal of miscoacfptions. nnd llic CMirpaCioo
of evil doctrines j so nide also has llie cirdc of lilrraturc and sdrnre
spread, and so deeply and accurntely mast tbeir difTcrcnt pmvinccs be]
koowiit that the Tcry nttau>mciit> iu a moderate degree, of what arc dceioed
neceaaar)' acqoircmeuts, most alone deiuund a great |iortiou of tlic Icisuro
which life has to girc to the cultivation of the miud. V\'e may gricvr,
bat cannot be itarpriscd to had those, from whme great talent*, and pro-
found acquirements, we might exfiect the richest fruit, lamenting that for,
tlic composition of original wvrku ihne a-iH thonrjhi are aa< at lowed them.* ^
If that ingenious poet could arise, whose, ill-dircctcd satire reprc*cot-
cd Uis as lamenting over her li.itless and degenerate sons, he would hivvj
now to strike another chord of liis Ktc ; and he might more justly com-
plain, that the minds of thotie of tnofit oriifinal powers and most profound]
acquirements were employed, not in advancing uiuvards in the discover^' of I
truth, and carrying the banners of their victory over frcsli ficlde of cod-1
quest ; bat in supporting doctrines that ought never to tiave bceu]
rioabtcd, in reasserting claims that f^hould never have ttrrn renounced. In'
defending themselves from accusations that ought never to bare been ad-
vanced, in re-arguiug that which had been once allowed, and restoring that i
which was well nigh forgot. 'I'o regain the ground that h.is been lost, and '
to take the position that had been abandoucd, is, it v^tiuld appear, all tbat i
the most strenuous and diligent can cffcc^. Whnl a proof it is, upon what '
H tottering and uncertain basis Truth ever stands, that e\en iu the moat |
enlightened times it may gradually become obi^cnrc or disappear ; that ittf
light and serene countenance may be veiled and clouded by possioaij
and opinions at any time, even after its full effulgence has been seen ; I
and that our progress is so bounded, and the limits of our strength so wir- 1
row, that to keep the little pitthway we have gained in the realms of know- I
ledgr, free from briars and thorns that aic closely rising up behind us, sn»f\
be considered as the humble work of duty, with which we must be content. I
As it is, the history of the Reformation has, in the present instnnce, fallen j
into the hands of n worthy, virtuous and weU*in5tnictcd memberof thi^]
Church ; it may still make rtiom for a work more philosopbical and more]
profound ; but the volume of Mr. D'Aubigne will alv^avs be distin*]
guished for the clearness of its arrangement, the judiciousness of its plau.l
the candour of its sentiments, the sincerity of its piety, the sufficiency vfl
its learning, and the eliKjuence and animation of its style. The arguments I
are honestly stated, the inferences logically and fairlv drawn. Tli ere i«f
no subject, it may be said, that in the hands of a man of genius may not baj
interesting: what is superficial, is dull enough i but the nioKt masftive
volumes of elaborate composition may be Uie very materials whtrh, nodera
new arrangement and disi>osition, will aflbrrl equiiUy instruction and (k-
light. The gems of purest ray serene, which dash and glitter in the ftoUr
rays, imbibed tlicir " dark lustre " in the unrAthotiiuble caveruH n( the deep. ^Hl

tatioii of opinions, a dac alloivattce for riroamstanccs, and a Icceii obscrva- \
tiou of the progress of crcata : bat the iinbject is, in itself and all its parts*
moat sintruUrly attractiv^e, as it is important: it has the due mixture of
thonglit and action, of oiittrard ornament aud inward strength, in which ,
the mind delights; it exhihlts the strongest contrasts and the most vivid i
representations ; magnificent in its (general features, picliires(|ue in its mi-
nute details. The jtencit that describes this portion of the history of man»
mast be dipt alternately ill the darkc^t gloom and the brightest illamina-,
tion. It must describe men as slaves of the gro&-^?st suportilition aod^
ignorance — and as inheritors of tlie most nnelouded reason and the uuwt
perfect liberty ; it will have to exhibit them as trampled on and subdued —
as rising against their oppressors, and triumphant — ;us enthinlled and free;
it will describe the lon^r and fonrftd strugj^lf of ^o(k1 and evil, of tyrannic |
power and of free rciolve j it will pcunt to the dismantled and mouldering j
fortress of despotic sway on the one side — and on the other to the civil audi
social institutions rising CTcry \Yherc around, and to the blessings doHingj
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
conflict, how every encrfjy possessed by man was c^WtuX forth and ex-
hansted even to the utmost limits of his strength ; and it will keep itself cv«
un the watch to observe the operation of that sn]>erior Power, whose unseen
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
trvBftures of the enrth, and on the other the wocKlen Ijenms nnd naked
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
anger, its pardon) of mercy, its curse and its forgiveness — its vast tein-
]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
upon falsehood. " A barefaced fabrication (as our author says) was for
ages the arsenal uf Uome." 'I'heii followed the atrocities of the puntiniB
^themselves, their personal luxur)', their intoxication, their madness. A

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

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

The different princes and electors were in nlhance with each other, and

weary of the burden of its corrupted church. The niiigi»<triitesand couu-

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

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."

Reformation, wrote to him — " 'Hie l^rd has wrought in you, that tho

Huttcn Is inseparably connected with the onec famous work ca.lled '■ Upi»-

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

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]

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 '

Archbishop Warhara ;iIso was his patron, and from him he received the

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

■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-

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

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.

CContiMutd from p, S57J
Nn. H. Mr. Afoylt to Mr. John
Rijuotd$ {Matter o/tht fhn iSchool at
Extter) ,
SIR. — I WM io hopes to hate foond
in »orae of the ancient hi&toriana a
relation of the Thmcinn wife's being
killed and buried with her husband,
which might have given »ome light to
this da/k passage of Mela. (1. 2, c. 2.)
of which we discussed at Exeter.* The
6rBt part of the story we met with io
SolinuB <c. 15.) who, in all likelihood,
copied from Mela; and io Herodotus
(I. 5. p. if*3. ed. Steph.) Stobicua (c.
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
^aacns, or
tile critics ai
(olapios, for
prfRoo— for
; — whom Ks-
•1 good bribe.
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
described by Gr Faliscus (Cyueg. 347.)
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
culinc gender. In like manner tb^
Evil Genius of Italy and Sicily, whick'j
appeared iu a dream to an old wumaal
of Himera. in shape of Dionysius, ial
styled byVal. Mai. (1,7.) "Siciliwotq^^

Ccmtpondinte of Walter Moyie, Etq,
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
TOQ nav see expressly affirmed in
Servius (ad ^n. C. v. 749), by Plu-
tarch (dc Tranq. 843], ami Empedo-
rles Obid.) by Pindar (Pyth. 3, 53.)
Phataris (Ep. 12.) August, (dc Civ,
Dei. 9. 2.) Porphyry (tie Absl. 2. 4J),
and by Euclidca (apud Ccn^oria, c.
3) ; and all tbc old wi Iters that speak
of the AfufiMv KnK\H 11 >i to the
good dxmon, doof c -e two
different genii, aa Iluiui^r iw<iy«s. 10,

C. 4, 1067.' Florua (4. 7-)
(i. 7. 7.J Slob»us (C4a, p. ij... 1
many others.
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.
Ep. 3. V. 187). There is a mcmoraUe
example in Philostratus (iv, 3.) of a
combat between the evil gcoios thai

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."]

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-
strument did Dot select nay

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*

utd legmtees b^ tfaoM taean be de-
frauded of their just and equitable
claim*.*
The sptera of probate by the epis-
copal ordiaary unavoidably iorutred
this iDconvcnieocf. It became, there-
fore, «o argent and icoperative nece*-
•itv thai some rrioedy fchoold be ap-
plied. The public coold not long bear
with patience, that so large a propor-
ttOB of a deceased'* ettate should be
coBsnmed in nothing more than the
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'

The Archbishup pursued bis course
in spite of the rcmonstroncen of liia

content was still rife, the papal legale
Octobuui arrived in Otis country, with
full powers for reforming the condi-

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

enacted, that where a tr&tator, during

dignity of the primacy, against the

their cftR as follows: Kin>t. the Bt-

uf the aixnuDts of the executors of

or other camplaJnaots, and the txp-
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

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.;

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-

nl rule WAS, and still is, that the de-
komhI's property must aiuount to the

the interference of the Archbishop.
And thit if atso the criterion by which
the Kcclesinslica) Courts test the

tice, in/nrma pnnprrit.
Another question remains ;f for the

it was only necessary that the gross
value of the effects in the separate

or that there ^lluuld be thai distinct

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'

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

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
surety a dcraotutration that we bc<
litive and hope in their title, as mem-
bers of Ibe church, to an imperishable
inheritance. The custom had proba-
bly its rise in the uavalightened piety
of heathen ages,* and our great na-
tional poet has not failed to recog-
nise it in a pastage which has all the
charming freshness and beauty of these
votive blossoms.

The rectories of Laugharne and Llan-

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

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

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.

— ('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-
arne," &c. On New Year's morning
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-

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

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

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

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-

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

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-

He has recently concentrated his
views in n Hintory nf l'rice*i, inSvol^^.

uses, wherewith a man may help an-

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
VB correspondent to the wealth anil
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

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

description of Poole; the omission of

sagea in which tlie writer of the bio-
eraphical genealogies referred to would
nave suggested an alteration, had
he been consulted by the prest'nt
author previously to htH |niblica-
tion. We fear Mr. Sydenham has
read little more of the History of La-
cock than he found it desirable to
quote ; and bis expression *' genealo-
gical erudition" is parttciilarly unfnr-
1 uoale, for it is in that very respect that
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
to do do, they might probably be trans-
fiBrrc<I uncorrected into a third book ;
and we would willingly maintain a
warfare against convicted error-H, diffi-
cult an it may be to silence them alto-
gether, particularly if not corrected
absolutely in hcu ( — a grand motive,

Now, it is true that XhU is a faithful
vereion of the monkieh narrative called
The Book of l,acock ; but in tlie " Ilia-
tnry ofl-acock" it has been shown, I.
that " there seems to be no foundation
for the IValttT le Knrus of the Book nf
Lacock; the namehoii been fabricated
from that of hi^ grandson. Walter of
Sarisbury.*" — 2. 'Hiat there was no
earldom of Ho^mar, but the title of
Comes ascribed to Girold or Girould
deRoumare (avilt not far from Rouco).
" is entirely unsupported, and indeed
disproved by the evidence of hta
charters, t" — 3. That Girold was
grandfather, not father, nf William.
Girold was a Danifer in Normandy :
he is supposed to nave been brother to
Ralph, the ancestor of the House of
Tancan-ille, and was certainly father
of Uobertus fdius Ciiroldi, who occurs
in Domesday Book a^ a tenant in
capite in the counties of Hant>. Berks,
Wilu, Dorset, and Sumi-rset. It wa»
thi»t Robert who was father of William
de Romara "Ic Gros," who actually
became an Earl — of the English county
of Lincoln. All thit* does not lurk
concealed in the History of Ijicock,
but is displayed .in a tabular pedigree
at p. C5.
" Coosiderable diipale has arisen on
the question whether this was a branch
nf the ^rcnt Noruian couoU of Evrrux.

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,
was nut a hole daughter. Shu had two

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

And thia corrects another error of
the Chronicler before tis. who states (in

were taken " in the forest of Dene."
This misnomer has been already no-

mistake for Whittlebury forest, which
lies between Kdgcote and Graflon."

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-
lege Nov. 6, 1473, being then a Fel-
low, and 8.T.B. ; that he was Pmctor

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
same day the King departed. "||

liy Prof. J. H. Wyttenbach, edited
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.

is a frontispiece plate of this monument,
which was then more perfect than it is
at present ; and the work it*elf con-
tains some curious observations on
the Roman monuments in Treves. M.
Wyttenbach in tins work has shewn
himself to be a diligent antiquary and
good scholar, and wc have long known
him to be one of the moat amiable of
men. It would have been as well, if
an appendix had been added tn this
work, containing drawings of thr an-
tiquities, figures, and iascrtptionH ntill
to be seen onlhcsitc of what was Count
Maosfeldt's Palace at Luikt-mbourg ; na
many of them appear to have been
brought from Treves and ita neigh-
bourhood.

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 ;

dismiss from her mind, as much Msht

— let her keep in mind that to writ*
writ is a mostdifficultart, and requim

Byron, hut of the great masters of

answer for it, that she will see a rapid ^^

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.

whom thry ruled. " To the modern Per-
sians, this dynasty, which ruled their
L-ountry for more than four centurica, is
«ciireely known erco by name; a clear
proof that the Parthians and ftheir rri^-
log family, the Aiaacidjr, most bare been
foreigners. In one impurtjint respect
they imitate<d the excltuive policy of the
Tartar rulers of China, deluding stran-
gers from their doniiuiODS, and sacrUuriafc
commerce to their watchful jcaloiuy."
Some excellent obeemtiona follow on the
diversion of commerce into other chin*

"Tlie tcrent curse of the Romani dur-

by tbc ' pride, pom|i, uud circumstance,'
with which the civil adrainitttration woa
surrounded. The d^potlam of a court
was put in pUoe of the despotiam of a
canip; and it needs not lu Im told, how
vaat was the improvement that mnit have
retniUed from inch an oJteration."
In the next iwgu he romarka, that
" but for the cnues and folUea uf the
rulem, tbe empire might have enjoyed a
lonK ooune of^ prosperity under the con-
stitution of Conatantine."
He obsenrea (p. 483), Tery justly, that
the int meaiure of Olynpos, the minia-
ter of Honoriua, was as impolitic as it
waa monsLruua. " He ordere«l a promia*
CQOua masaacre of the families of the bar-
barians throughout Italy, instead of re-
taining them as hostages for tbe fideltly of
his mercenary cohorts.*' The period
preceding the fall of. the Woatem Em-

copioosoeas, than we remember to have
been the case in any Himihir work. We
never gained ao clear nn idea of those
complicated and rapid occurrences before.

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

tiquity, nmdified only by the Orieotijijtms

Wmo. IH.W.— The history of this little
work iii curiuuK. It was given to the
world by a penum bearing the initials uf
H. I. Three, editions were so signed;
the last in \U40. A cojiy of the first,
IG:{(), in in the Bodleian. One uf the
third, 154(>, is in Stan College. The
three lint editions contain H. l.'a preface:
but after bia death io lt>'35, tbe first pre-
face was omitted, and 11. Seile, the pub-
lisher, insertrd bis own, annouiiL-ing tho
vrork a« tbe compo«itii>n of Bishop An-
drews, and stating that the three former
editions had been brought out by a kind
foster-father. Tbe I^tin title. '* Institu-
tiones Piie," was superseded by the En-
glish,— "lloly Devotious." If itisaiked
who was H. 1. who put forth the work,
Mr. Hale answers, " several rea^iions con-
cur to shew tbe possibility of its being
flenty Jsaac$ont the well-known aatbor
of tbe chronological work entitled, * Sa-
turni Epbemeridfs, • Itil;!.'* Both these
book* were published hy Henry Scile.
The former hai several pa&Mgps which
occur aUu in Hixbap Andre wi' Preccs
Private ; and in tbe latter works Isooi^mm
was the bishop's amoniiensii, and the
date uf IsaiiciiUD'ii death in I(i54 agrees
with H. Seile's statement iu lfij."i of the
original editor, " now sleeping with the
Ijord." Mr. Ilalc saj's, " Further in-

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.

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.
