To pive thee fome Verfes, unftain’d with g Tear, ° -

‘The Natiotis are humbl’d, and fhyeath'd is the Scéel, 

Yet fill we have Terrors, and Sorrows to feel ; 

Not forc’d for a Foe, o'er the Ocean to roam, 

’Tis now our Misfortune to find him at home : 

Be watchful, Friend UrBan, be juft in the Strife, 


-*Tis for more than Dominions, or Treafure, or Life ; 


Tis to keep and tranfmit, what our Anceftors gave, —

‘¢ The Occafion of calling for the Aid of tke 
Troops Chto the delay fr ND 
ef uting them cffe€tuaily, always peef.ats 
itfeip, when eke Cool Power is uitled with, 
and infulud.” 

Ta fir, is rotilem werbis a declaration, 

which a Secretary of State has though 

propcr to deliver out and maintain in the 
face of the whole peuple of England. 

How conuary is this to the featiments of 

Mr M—y, (now Ld M—d) when pleading 

befuse the Hon. Houle of Commons in the 


cafe of the cuntefted eledtion tor Wetimia- . 


tter, when Lord Tren:ham and Sir George 
Vandepur were cancidates! 

** ’Frovops, faid Mr Murray, (then councl 
fos the peutioner) arc kept up by annual 
bills 5 noe for the affipiuce. f° the evil ma- 
g:Avate; that would be an annual keeping up 
of troops for a reafch that lafts for ever. 
Tris wil till far:her appear from this, uhat 
@ chi! masiS rate cam command offifiance fom 
auy body cf trcop. 5 and if the law confidered 
them as neceflary to affift him, the law wou d 
give the civit magiftrace ‘ome power to com - 
mand them there. But wien troops do go, 
they go by virte of military authority and 
a& there under miliary command. Sir, 
the authority which the: law gives ebe civil 
magrfrate in che execution of lege! com- 
stiands is this : shey may command ailfift- 
ance of every man within their jurifdiiion : 
every man is a cocftable for keeping the 
peace, and what is the confequence if men 
do nat obey ? They arc liable co a profecu- 
tion by indi€@ment, or information, and they 
are clearly f) Hable. But can any civil mat- 
gikrate fend any warrant to the guards? Is 
gi-ve feck a warrart Ancor to the ew 2? 
Would any military officer be obliged to 6- 
buy ic? No, certainly ; for imhe did noc, 
there cou'd be no prefecuuon acainwt him, 
Wherever they go, they go by vire of mi- 
litary authori-'y, but not by the command of 
the civil magpittrare, becaufe they are lable 
t) no profecution if they do nat obey. 
When they are there, they do not ad under 
the ‘ervil cominard ¢ it chey did, the only 
e>ifequence of mitbehavious would be, thac 
they were liable to profecution on indict= 
ments er informations. 

But will it be comenced, that if 2 body of 
troops «ome these, and any one deferts, is 
he not liahle to be thot to death, according 
wo military difcipline > Ifthe theriff was to 
urdera fo'cdiier to du ene thing, and his officer 
another, 1 fubmit it to you, if he difubcys 
the officer, whether he muft not be tned by 
@ court-martial ! that fhews they go by mi- 
litary authority, and there act by military 
command. Would you, on pretence of 
keeping the peace fuffera company of gurrds 
to fiand in the lobby ? No mix, Sr, woud 


..JeQion as trong as T can 


wif to live so fee that day, when tle civil go- 
vernment of this country, can't fepport nfef 
without the affRanr of the misiiary: T wiil 
be bold to fay, when #t is nor, that civil go- 
verninent is undone : for i¢ is them wot the 
Law, bit rhe Military Power that governs. 
The argument will hold in reneral in every 
cafe ; but fuppofe a cafe of moft excraordi- 
nayy neccfity, when the civil magiftrate is 
really overnowered, aod there is fire fet to 
the town, fhall uot che woops chen be called 
into his aft.france> Euhm« F put the ob- 
The fatal argu- 
mentof contending fur an excepticn to con- 
flimional principles, thac fatal argument his 
broucht us many times to the brink of de- 
Arutt on. Nething is clearer then that no 
frecman is to be imprifened but accotding 
tu'law : what, not ifthe kirz knows he is 
eoming to attack him ? The arpument was 
fptcious, and the power of judying was 
trufted fomewheia, end it took away che 
whole Kbernty of che fubje&. Every man 
was imprifoned by & Majpditum Domiti Reo 
gis. There was another refolution taken, 
that no money fhould be Sevied on the fub- 
jeét bur by che confent cf parliament ; what, 
ner on acafe of N-ceffity? they argued, ‘ic 
might in a cafe of.neceffity, and thas over- 
turned the whole role ; and when money 
was raifed, it was for neceffity. Supypefe 
there comes an extraordinary cafe, never 
within the intention of the legiffature ; that 
produced the difpenfing powcr which dif- 
penfed with all the power of the legiflacore. 
Rt muft tend to lodge a difcretionary power 
with fomebudy to judge #f that necc@ity.

Mr. Urnas, 
4 have fant you an Explanation on Ma- 
aly accrdin to the Liturgy Ca 
sburchef Basen Tf you pleafe 
to publifd it you'll oblige, 
HN i OE ars, RB. 
See ARRIAGE is 


as the foundation 
of all focieties, 
which aaght te 
JA be made facred, 
i} and adapted into 

religion, hecaufe 
it is the intereft 
of mankind it 
fhould be inviolable: Wh:refore our 
church ints, that none but a lawful 
minifter tie thele bonds ; for the 
‘covenant is made to God, and the mi- 
nifter is God's reprefentat've to take fe- 
curities, and blefs the parties in God's 
name. Bans or bancs, fignify matri~ 
monial contraéts, Ban, comes from a 
Saxon word, which fignifies a procla- 
mation, Matrimony is celebrated in 
the morning, becaule men are molt fe- 
Tious at that tine, and it iv the better to 
prevent clatileftine marriage that the 
Church orders it to be performed in the 
day time; marriages are to be celebrat- 
ed in the church, that this rite he more 
folemn, the church being the place of 
‘God's fpscial pretence before whom this 
covenant is made, and the facrecinefs of 
the place fhould make the parties more 
reverent in entering into it. Manimony 
sis called holy, becsufe it is an holy and 
important work, an ordinance of Gd 
the Father, an eftate much refpefted by 
God the Son, and highly commended 
by God the Holy Ghoft, in the mouths 
oh the apoftles; and manage being fo 
effential to the Being and well being of 
mankind, it is no wonder that God and 
man fhould agree to fix a Ramp of holi- 
nnefs upon it, and to fecure it from vio- 
tation and contempt, by adapting it into 














religion, that what nature makes neccf- 
fary for its prefervation, holy ritesfhould 
render venerable: Among the anticut 
Chiiftians, it was univerfally reputed 
an a& of religion; thie is fo great and 
Known a truth, that it is a reproach to 
‘our nation, that in our late cimes of re- 
bellion againft king Charles I. the de- 
fign of bringing the clergy ‘into con~ 
tempt incited thofe who wore then in 
power to wrek this office out of the 
priefts hands, and, as if matrimony 
‘were no more than a mere political con~ 
Ritution, affigned it over to the civil 
magiftrate to confurnmate, contrary to 
the decrees and prattice of the Chriftian 
churches ia all sges.-——The ends of 
matrimony, is procreation, a remedy 
againit fin, and a mutual help to each 
other. The charge given, that if the 
perfons to be joined, know any impedi- 
ment, &c. is becauwte if there be any 
impediment which they conceal from the 
ieft, they mult either live in perpetual 
fin, or be feparated by an endlels di- 
vorce. The impediments are, a pre- 
ceding marriage, or folemn pre-con- 
and. adly. If the parties be of near 
kindred. 3dly. The want of content oF 
parents, or guardians in cafe of mino~ 
rity. Women mutt be given after 
the example of God in Paradife. In 
ancient times, (faith the learned and 
jndicious Mr. Hooker) all women 
which had not hufbands, or fathers to 
govern them, had their tutors, without 
whofe authority there was no ai that 
they did warrantable, and for this gaute, 
they were in marriage delivered to their 
hufbands by others, which cuftom re- 
tained hath @ill this uf, that it pus 
women in mind of their duty, whereto 
the imbecellity or weaknefs of their fex 
doth bind them, namely, to be always 
direéted and guided by others ; however 
it isa decent cuftom, whether this was 
the firft caufe or not, fora woman can 
not in modetty offer herfelf, but fhould 
rather be led’ by the hand of anothers

generally ufed in plighting our troth; 
by which phrale is incant, laying ouf

The ring is given to be a vilible ani 
lafting token and remembrance of this

how noble and durable our afk Aion is,

ger on the Icft hand, wheie is a vein 
that comes dire&iy from the heat, and 
where it may be always in fight, and 
being a finger leat ufed, it may be Ieat

Mr. Urpan, . 
HE prefent ftate of our trade with 
our Weft-India Iflands inferted in 
your Magizine for December Jaft and 
higned FB. puzzles and perplexes me 
beyond meafurc. We are in « moft de- 
plorable ftate indeed, if our very acqui- 
fitions have a balance, and fuch a very 
conliderable balance againft us. What 
fignifics conquefts that are to drain their 
mother-country ? Though I cannot fol- 
low Mr.‘F. B's reafoning throughout, 
yet I think I difcover fome glaring er- 
tors in his computations, and am not a 
littie furprized that an author .fo feen,- 
ingly accurate could have fuffered fuch 
grofs blunders to efcape him, That they 
are not the blunders of the printer ap- 
pears from this, that he reafons conte 
quentially upon his firft error, and that 
the fame miftake rune through all his 
numbers. His fum of the exports for 
five years from Great Britain is exactly 
one million lefs than it ought to be, 
Again, the medium of his own fum is 
faliely computed: and the true medium 
of the exports fecmsto be'y88,8 531. 25, 
4d. which alters the fu of the annual 
batlance above 200,000]. When he 
comes to add a third to the imports on 
account of their under-valuations at the 
tuftom-houfe, he again commits a mif- 
taxe of near 400,0001. which two mif- 
takes make a difference in his general 
ba!lance of above 600,000]. and reduces 
it from 1,941,674]. to 1,277,7791. But 
even this ballance, though thus reduced 
above a third, is ftill by far too great; 
when we corifider it as a ballance again 
the mother-country, which is an idea I 
cannot at all reconcile to myfelf, not- 
withftanding all that has been faid by 
Mr. F. B. Why did we make fuch a 
buftle about acquiring fugar-iflands if 
they are really detrimental to us? 
Thongh the reafoning of your corref- 
pendent appears extremely plautible, yet 
I cannot help fufpeéting that there is 
fome fren errer in his argument: I 
therefore beg of you to infert my prefent 
remarks, in hopes that they may ftir up 
fome of the Welt-Indians to remové 
thofe heavy imputations againft their 
fugar-iflands, and prove that they de- 
ferye the countenance and proteétion of 
Great-Britain from their great utility to 
their mother.country, Your's, A. Bs

Mr Unsan, 
dys a common notion, and in al 
pasts, for I have beard it from 
many mouths, and in many places, that 
our bones are brittlef in frofty weather. 
This is a difficult matter, at beft, to 
ove, and I imagine the obfervation 
fas nothing to f{upport «t, but the fre- 
uency of fractures at fuch feafons. 
But now, Sir, if this be the whole 
foundation of it, this one particular 
will fcarce bear the weight that is laid 
upon it, Tor firft, men are moft liable 
to flip then, aud confequently more fall 
than common. - Secondly, falls are vio- 
icut upon tudden dips. Thirdly, the 
limbs are often thrown into unnatural 
pofitions hy fuch fips; and laftly, the 

ground in frofts is hard, and unpingin 
with furce againft it when it is in fuch 
a ftate, muft endanger the bones more 
than at any other time, and occafion the 
morse fraétures. In thort, the external 
conititution of the air may have etfe& 
on the furface of our bodies, as to the 
porcs, and the affedions cf heat and 
cold, but that the internal f.rsina of 
the bones and the fubftance of them 
Should be altered in reipe& of cohetion, 
of induration on one pait, and phiuble- 
nefs on the other, is a thing dificult -to 
conceive. And quxrc, whether a de- 
prey of cold fufficient to ef-& that 
would not immediately induce death f 
for my pare I cannot apprehend how 
the fleth, the perioficii, the blood, and 
evcn fome of the vital purts could ttand 
§t. [ won't pretend to fay how the 
caie may be with a dry, deal, uncover- 
ed bone, lying cxpofed to the ambient 
dirin afevere troit; bot faicly, if the 
fuditunce of a human Lone, can be to 
penetrated by an excefs of cold, as to 
tuffer an aiteration in the cohefion of its 
parts, the marrow of fuch bone mu:t be 

in a manner dan:aged and dettroyed., 

‘Tis true the bores of o!d peupie do 
break with the greatett facility, and 
from tue flightelt caufes, as appears from 
the two cafes of arciibifhop Sceker and 
Dr B:thurlt reported in your Maga- 
zine of November 1768, p. 523. but 
tien this fragility may be {uppojed to 
arile from an internal caufe, to wit, the 
aivdi:y or dryness of old men's bones, 
tenacity or toughnefs depending mainly 
upon a competent degree of moifture. 
And thisI prefume was the cafe with 
that great man archbifhop Laud. At 
cy years of age, his Grace ftrained, 
va rather broke the great ligament of 
is foot, the Tendon Achillis, and when 
te was 62, a5 he was walking up and 


On the brittienels of Hyman- Bones in Frofts 


‘down his chamber at the Tower, the 
finew of his right leg gavea great cracks 
‘without any flip or treading awry, and 
brake afunder in the fame plac¢ where 
he had broken it before. His Crace 
however, recovered it, and could Be 
ftrongiy upon plain ground. See hi 
Diary pag. 42, 63, 191. The event, 
ou obferve, was not very bad, but that 
ie not the meaning of my introducing 
this fraQure ; for my defign is to thew, 
by this, how eafily drynefs in the limbs 
of old perfons difpofes them to break. 
But this, I apprehend, is by no means 
the café with our bones in frofty {ea- 
fons, which I prefume are fo fenced and 
fecured againft the external injuries of 
weather, by the periofezm, the ficth, and 
the (kins, that one cannot fuppofe them 
to be drier in hard weather than at o- 
ther times. I. incline to believe upon 
the whole, that the bones cannot be af- 
fetted by any feverity of weather lefs 
than what would caufe death.

WHEN Perillus, your famous fta- 
tuary, was here, he made pres 
fents to feveral people of his works; 
which, as the difplay of extraordinary 
enius, were very well received. We 
ikewife beltowed many gifts upon him, 
as well in return for the honour he did 
us, in fhewing his excellent art, as out 
of refpe&t to his, country. At laft he 
tontived a brazen Bull, larger than 
life; which he prefented to me. I was 
much pleafed with this inftance of his 
fkili in contracting an animal, that is 
brought up for the fervice of mankind, 
and fo uleful in the hardef{ labour. I 
thought it a work that well deferved 
applaufe, and which was not beneath the 
notice even of a monarch; not yet 
knowing the myftery. But Perillus, 
opening the fide, foon difcovered to me 
an'engine of the molt exquifite torment, 
of the moft excruciating of all deaths, 
As he much extolled this piece of work- 
manthip, I thought his barbarous difpo- 
fition deirrved a check; and sf feeme

of his own invention, than whieh I had 
never feen in any art a greater inftance 
of cruclty and malevolence. Having 
caufed him therefore to be fhut up in

in the mauaer he had infru&ed us, and 
th:« effeétually put to the proof the 
faces ag refult off his ingenuity. The

had no n,-: of tears, nor heard any

hollow brafs founded like the real bel- 
lowing of a bull. 

I have fince been told, to my great 
forprize, that you are much difpleafed 
at the death of Periulus, ant exczeding- 
ly offended at me for it. Now Iam 
well pertuaded, that there is no caule 
for uch ditatsidien. if you think

have been the work either of a private 
Athenian citizen, or of the public in 
General. And your good will er dif- 
pleafure, with refpeét to me, wr!l faew 
which of the two it was. If the mor- 
tal crime be Perillus's, and none of 
you rcfemble him in manners and dif- 
pofition,. you will not blame me. If 

ou coinplain, that he has fuffered un- 
juftly—tais is aconfeffiun that you are 
as badas himkIf, Ido not repent his 
capital punithment, nor fhall ever con- 
‘demn myleit on that (core, till it ap- 
pears to inc that fuch a proceeding was

from others cf my having unreafonably 
punilhed Perilus-—[ can interpret that 
only ina fente hizhly derogatory to my 
honour, Buttt cannot be, that you, 
or any other Girccians, in earnef look 
upon his punignnent as unguit, Was 
‘st not fir, that he, who had formed an en- 

ine with fuch fhecking purpotes of 
Barbaity fox others, fhowhl himfelf 
maxe the fir experment of it? —Be- 
fides, f caunothelp thinking, and athere 
are uf the fame opinion, that tuch a 

refent to me implied a dekgn of his 
Fiewing to the wortd, that I was myfurf 
worthy to fuff:rin it. Such an inven- 
tion indeed, confidered with refpc& to 
thofe who conipire agoinit me, and as 
a terror to rebcls, migat he for my ad- 
vanwige. Butwe are to judee of tungs 


ma 


abfolutely asthcy are in theirown nature; 
and therefore I regarded not my own bé-~ 
nefit in competitien with what was natu - 
rally right in itfelf. As Perillus thought 
fuch.a {pecimen of his work a fit pre- 
fent for me, I rewarded him properly. 
Itis the opinion of all able moralifts, 
that whoever invents a torment for the 
upifhment of others, fhould in juftice 
himfeif the frit fufferer by st. Then 
do you, O Athenians, think me worthy 
to be confign'd over to the infernal fu- 
ries for adopting tl.is principle? And 
that even tuch « penalty would not (2- 
usfy the Manes of Perillus? Let me 
entieat you to confider equitably, and 
you will find that my proceedings are 
not of my own chotce. It is unreafo- 
note that I fhould be harraffed by the 
mace of fortune, Sovereign power 
indeed fets me at full liberty to commit 
whtcrueltiesI pleaic: but I know very 
til. ow reprehenfible a€tions of that 
kindare, and I much lament that things 
cannet.be reduced to their original ftate, 
—fhould be thankful to heaven that I 
were wot coafzaine! by the utmoft ne- 
celity to do whai Ido. But, O Athe- 
nians, whica of you, or what maf 
in the world is there, who f- 
ceiving a compiracy againtt his life, 
would pot with ali eagernefs feck re- 
venge againtt the villains ? Finding Pe- 
rillus to be a perfon of this ftamp, I 
punifhed him accordingly. It is no 
{mall confolation to mz, that whatever 
harlthips I put people to, they arife 


from neceility ; and that my adtuns of. 


this nature are not willingly done, as 
theirs are againf{ whom my .refentment 
is potated. [ndeed in the matter sow 


-under conGderation, | have imitated 


the cuftom of the wifeit and mott ancient 
Athenians themfelves. What I have 
done tu Perillus was highly ft to be done

I have aéted by him as he deferved ; in a 
mannerindeed not agreeable to my natu- 
ral difpofitien, but agreeable to his noti- 
ons of xt. You may beaffured, that, were 
I a private man, I fhould net be Peril- 
lus, and were he a prince, he would nat 
be Phalaris. But your concen for his 
punifimient leads to your difgrace. - If 
you maintain, that wicked men like hira 
fhould not be punfed, you will incur 
a lattiny ieproach. By the invention 
of fucha moft barbarous torment, he 
did a univertal intury to all mankind :

Mr Ursan, 

‘THE reading of Mr White's perti- 

nent remarks oo the Small-pox m 
your excellent Magazine fur O&ober 
lat, put me upon offering my humble 
vpinion on the fame fabject. 

That the Small-pox is lcfs fatal by 
inocuiation than when taken in the na- 
tural way, is probably owing to the 
frmalinefs of the quantity of the infe&- 
ing miafms. and the flow and gradual 
mixture with the hot blood. For as 
cficé&ts are always proportionate to their 
caufes, fo litule venom will make lefs 
havock in the human juices than a lar- 
ger portion, 

To prevent therefore any bad effe&s 
from inocuiation, Ict as {mall a icratch 
as pee be made on the upper arm 
with the point of a fine needle, and with 
a bit of raz diptin the matter of a peck 
rab the incrfior, then clap on a piece of 
flicking pluifler to prevent the matter 
being wiped off. Vicw the place on the 
sth day; if it looks red, the infs&ion 
bias taken erfcét ; cle not. 

Any motos, of nurle, may perform 
this ealy operation as weil as the bet 
furgeon. Anda bare rubbing the in- 
fice of the wrifts with a coarfe civath 
till it grows red, and then rubbing ina 
little of the infecting matter will pro- 
duce the diilemper in infants, and young 
Subjects. 

It was thoucht by Dr Mead, and o- 
thers, that the difcharge from the inci- 
fions that uled formerly to be made like 
iffues to inuculate the pock, was of great 
ufe, but time and experience have taught 
the contrary. 

I am for no preparations before con- 
veying the infection, but only a vomit, 
and 2 purge or two of shubarb to cleanie 
the firit paffages ; looking upon all the 
boafted preparations as merely farcical, 
and tending rather to difturb the hu- 
mours than qualify them. 

It has been lately aflerted, that the ve- 
nereal infeétion is to be produced in the 
fame manner; and that a furgeon at 
fea caught it by a feratch on his hnger 
ardrefingan jafecled patient, Be this

J. Cook, 


Requifites for a geod Story-Teller. 

IN tbe firft place, he muft be a tolera- 

able, if not a good mafter of the lan- 
guage in which he tells his ttory: I 
don’t mean an exuét, critical, nice, 
grammatical mafter ; but be mutt 
be mafter of a lively, natural, eafy, 
pleating and flowing di&ion. 

With regard to humour, I think it 
impollible fox any one to tell a ftory 
without a fufficicut quantum of it, 

I have no tort of objettion to a pra- 
per thare of wit; but wit, in my opini- 
on, feems to have a better e in 2 
fhort repartce than in a regular ftory, 
tor which reafon, humour is more con- 
nected with ftory-telling than wit. Wit 
feems to ftrike the fancy with a pecu- 
liar kind of rapidity; whereas true 
nuine humour is of a placid and gentle 
kind. This {eems to be the difference 
between wit and humour. 

As for the fentences in the telling 
of a ftory, if I may fo call them; they 
muft not be too long, nar too much of 
the daconick kind. 

With regard to a parenthefis of an 
kind, he muft avoid it as much as pofft- 
ble. For, as the ufe of a parenthefis in 
writing but too often breaks in upon the 
natural flow of a {zntence; fo it feems 
to have a worfe cite& in [peaking. 

In order that a story may appear with 
a peculiar puace, [ beg leave to recom- 
nend 4 pruper but not an affe€ted gra- 
vity ; because there feems to be a wide 
cifference between a proper and an 
atteéted gravity ; there may be no harm 
perhaps in a gentle pleafing file upon 
the face in fome part of a ftcry; bue 
then it mult be nothing elie but a gen- 
tle pleaing fmile. 

N.B. In all kinds of ftory-telline, a 
vatt deal depends upon tie propiicty 
of face. 

Si vis me flere, &c. may do very well 
from the puipit, and may have a very 
valuable etiect; but (4 -cis me ridere, 
&c. will never do in florv-telling; a 
few tears in the former cafe, but no 
laughing if you pleafe in the latter *. 


— 





* Every ftory-teller muft endeavour as 
much as poffib.e to entertain others, but mu 
not feem to be much entertained himfelf; i. ¢. 
he may be internally pleafed as much as be 
will, but it muft not appear externally ; ay for 
immoéerate laughter in the tellin uf a fiory 
icis really infutterahle,

asit may, it is an unquefticnable fa&, 
that infants have taken 1 by fucking

(THE gibbet was placed at one corner 
of a fmall common-fieid, where my 
Sfter's cows ufuaily ran ; and it pleaied 
God, that about this time a lad, who 
took care of them, came to drive them 
home for eveniag milking. The crea- 
tures, which were feeding almof under 
me, brought him near the gibbet; 
when, popping ts look at the melan- 
choly {peétacle, he perceived that the 
cloth was from off my face; and, in 
the very moment he looked up, faw me 
a my eyes, and move my undcr jaw. 
eimmediately ran home tu inform the 
people at his matter’s, At firft they’ 
fome difficulty to believe his ftory; 
at length, however, my brother came 
out, and, by the time he got to the 
feld, I was fo much alive, that my 
groans were very audible. 

It was now dufk. The firft thing 
they ran for was a ladder. One of my 
brother's men mounted, and, putting 
his hana to my ftomach, felt my heart 
beating very ftrongly. But it was 
found tmpoffible to detach me from the 
gibbet, without cutting it down. A 
Yaw, therefore, was got for that pur- 
pofe; and, without giving you a detail 
of trifling cireumftances, in Icls chan 
half an hour, having treed me f-oin my 
irons, they got me blooded, and pit 
me into a warm bed in my brother's 
houfe. 

It is an amazing thing, that, though 
upwards of cight perions were entiu.ted 
with this tranfa@ion, and 1 remained 
three daysin the place after it hapj.cned, 
Hot a creature betrayed the fecret. Early 
next morming it was knows that the 

ibbet wes cut down, and i immediate. 
F occurred to every body, that it was 
done by my relations, in order to puta 
fight veil over their own fhamc, by 
burying the body: but when my beaiher 
was fummoned to the mayor's houre, in 
order to be queftioned, and he ds ited 
knowing any thing of the matt.r, Hiue 
more ftir was made about 1; partly be- 
caufe he was greatly refpected by ailcne 
neighbouring gentlemen, and in feme 
meafyre, perhaps, becaule it wasknown 
that I continued to perfilt ftrongly in my 
being innocent of the faét for which [ 
fuffered. 

Thus, then, was I moft miraculoull 
delivered from an ignominious death, if 
I may call my coming tolife a delivery, 
after all I had endured: but, how was 
I to difpofe of my lite now J had re-

giined it. To ftay in Englind was 
inipoliible, without expofing myflé 
asun to the terrors of the law. In this 
Glenma, a fortunate cireumftance oc- 
curred. There had Jain, for fome 
time, at my brother's houle, one or two 
of the principal officers of a privateer 
that was preparing for acruize, and juft 
then ready to fail, Thecaptain kindly 
offered to take me aboard with him. 
You may guefs, little diftculty was 
made on our fide to accept of fuch a 
propofal ; and proper neceflaries being 
quickly provided for me, my fifter re- 
commended me to the protection of God 
and the worthy commander, who mof& 
humanely received me as a fort of un- 
der-affittant to his tteward. 

We had been fix months out upon 
our crujze, having had but very indif- 
ferent Cuccefs, when, being upon the 
coaft of Florida, then in the hands 
the Spaniards, we unfortunately fell in 
with a fquadion of their men of war 5 
and being coniequently taken without 
ftriking 2 ftroke, we were all brought 
prifoncrs into the harbour of Havannah. 
I was really now almoft weary of my 
life, and fhould have been very glad to 
have ended it in the loathfome cungceon, 
where, with forty others of my untor- 
tunate countrymen, the enemy had ftowed 
me; but, after thre years ciofe con- 
finement, we were let out, in order to 
be put on hoard traiftports, to be con- 
veyed to Penfylvania, and from there 
to England. This, as you may be- 
lieve, was a ditagreeabic fentence to 
me, taking it for granted, that a rsturn 
ho:nc would be a retury to the gallows :

as they were coming up from the pert 
with a puard of foldiers, to the gover-

me, in the face of one of the pri.oners,’ 


that I had before been acquainted with.

together ; however, in about an heur 
after, they were all brought down to 
Pow”. . Joes 
prifon, there to be lodged till the go- 
vernot fignified his further pleafure. 

As faon as the poor creatures found 
I was an Englifhman, they were cx- 
tiencly happy, even in their dilirefivd 
fituation, though, indeed they weie 
treated with lenity enough, and only 
tent to the prifon all a lodging could ie 
provided for them, they having been, in 


the courfe of the war, made prifoneis . 


as well as myelf, and then on their re- 
turn home. I nw had an opportunity 
of taking notice of the man whote face 
I thought I knew, and I was more and 
more confirmed that I was not miftak- 
cn. Ina word, I verily thought, that 
this man was the perfon for whofe fup- 
pofed murder I had fuffered fo much in 
England; and the thought was fo 
Qrong in my head, that I could not flcep 
a wink all night. a 

In the morning after their arrival, I 
told then, that if any of them hada 
mind to walk about the town, I weuld, 
procure them permiffion, and go alers 
with then, This man faid he would 
go, and it was what I withed. Thice 
other prisoners, that went out aicng 
with us, walked a little in advance. I 
pow tack the opportunity, and looking 
in his face, “Sir,” faid I, 6 was you 
ever at Deal?” I believe, he, at tnat 
inttant, had fome secolleétion of me ; 
for, putting his hand upon my thould- 
er, tears burft into his eyes, ‘* Sir,”

me in England, from the moment we 
parted. I never faw any man exprefs.

purfuing my melancholy adventures ; 
But, when I came to the circumftance 
of my being hanged, and afterwards 
hung in chains, I could hardly prevail 
upon him to believe my relation, ui} 
backed by the moft ferious affcyeratious, 
pronounced in the moft ferious manuer.

fhould overtake them at a little bay,* 
about a mile beyond the town. The 
dufle was coming on: I ran along the 
thore ; and, as Timagined, foon had a! 
fight of the boat, to which I hallooed 
as loud as I was able; they anfwered,” 
and immediately put aboat to take me 
ins bat we had fearce got fifty yards!

and then it was I found I had made

ay own boat, which I vow faw a cop-* 
fiderable way a-head, I had got intos

I attempted to leap overboard, and 
fhould eafily have fwani athore ;’ but I 
was prevented by one of the crew, who 
gave me a ftroke on the head, which 
immediately laid me fenfelefs; and I 
found afterwards, they miftook me for” 
one of theirown men, whom they bad 
fent to purchafe fometbing in the town. 

‘A more infernal crew than thefe pi- 
rates breathed not upon the face of the 
earth. Their whole lives were a feene 
of rapine and murder, which, .when 
they had not an epporcanity of comniit-

When I waz brought into the thip, and, 
immedsately after, into the captain’s 
cabin, the fictt perfon that accofted me 
was one of the Plows that had broke 
out of . prifon, and had formerly been 
under my care. He knew me directly ; 
and, without any more ado, diawing 
out his banger, aimed a &roke at me, 
which falling upon my neck, entered 
deep into the fiefh, and muft infalhbly 
have put an end to my life, had not the 
captain prevented it, by railing his cane 
between him and me, which broke the 
ferce of the blew. From this moment, 
he feemed to take me under his protec- 
tion. Athis own requeft, I gave him 
a hiftory of my life, which aftonifhed 
him greatly: but, notwithftanding I 
pleaded hard to be fet on thore again, he 
abfolutely refufed ; and, in fpite of ‘all 
my entreaties to the contrary, brought 
me to the ifland and fortification I have 
already mentioned, where, finding I 
eeuld read and write, two qualificauons 
he wanted himfelf, be-thought I might 
be of ule to him. 

I have already faid, that with thefe 
people I remained upwards of three 
years: on land I adtcd as ftore-keeper » 
and, at fea, ae a fort of purfer to the 
fhip. It is to be obf-rved, that there 
was alwaysa fufficient number of hands 
left on the ifland, to mao the fort, 
which was fo fituated as effc&aally to 
prevent the approach of an enemy. In- 
deed, the office of ftore-keepcr was a 
place of great truft. You would hardly 
credit me, was J to attempt to tell you 
the immenfe riches thofe robbers had 
amafied together. One article alone will 
be fufficient to give you an idea of it, 
Under one fhed, I myfelf reckoned three 
thoufand eight hundred bales of Englith 

ods; and I may fafely declare, thar, 
Fe other merchanjize of almoft every 
kind, they fell nothing bchmd : and, 
ppon an average, there could not be Icis 
in their coffers than two hundred thov- 
fand pounds tterling in fpecie, begdes a 
great quantity of gold in bars. 

The continual terror that was on my 
mind whije J remained with thefe peo- 
ple is not to be imagined ; but, to give 
you a dctail of my manner of lite while 

endured this warft of bondaze, would 
be tedious, becauic it had ro varicty, 
and fhocking to boot, as I was foiced 
to enter into all their horri:t fehemes. 
I fhall only tell you, that, in one of 
our cruizes, having met witha Jamaica, 
thip, we ho.fted out our black colours, 
and, having boarded her, becaule fhe 
ads fome sefitance, ard killed ene of

our men, the captain ordered that the 
woole crew fhould be maflacred; which 
wicked command was executed upon 
the mafter, five feamen, and a boy, is 
a manner, before the cruel monfter’s 
eyes; then taking the cargo out, which 
proved to be rum and fugar, we {cuttled 
the thip, and returned to our fortifi- 
cation. 

But, to fee how the avenger of wicked 
decds makes the fruits of our crimes 
our punifiment, this cargo of rum, 
which was of a kind not many degrees 
fhort of aquafortis, was drank by the 
men with fach a furor, that, in. little 
more than three days, not adrop of it 
was left; and, out of our compliment 
of eighteen men, feven abfolutely loft 
their fives by it, among which was the 
captain. 

I cannot but confefs I had fome at 
tachment to this man, becaufe he al- 
ways appeared particularly attached to 
me: ,when, therefore, I faw him lie 
fenfelefs on the floor, overgorged with 
this infernal liquor, I did every thing I 
could to recover him, and fo far fhe. 
ceeded, a8 to bring him to his fenfes ; 
but the quantity he had drank had in- 
flamed his bowels to a degree to be af- 
{waged hy no lenitives that was in my 
power to procurehim, He was feized 
with intermitting convulfions, which, 
the next day, carried him off: but, 
about four hours before he died, he 
called to me, in prefence ef all the men, 
who ftood about him in the cabin, and 
defiring me to fit down, with pen and 
ink, to draw his will, he left me fole 
heir to his thare of the booty, fgning 
the paper with his mark ; which paper, 
through a feries of unheard-of misfor- 
tunes, I have preferved in my cuftody 
ever fince. 

We buried the captain the next day 4 
and, on infpection and partition of the 
tieafuie, I found myfelf worth confide- 
rably more than forty theufand pounds 
fterling. The perfons now remaining of 
our company were, Jofeph Wright, 
Andrew Van Hooten, a Dutchman, 
James Winter, and imyfelf, the four 
principals, befides four common men, 
to whom we affigned five thoufand 
pounds a-piece, which we gave to each 
of them in dollars; nor did I obferve 
any diftontent among them on account 
of the bequeft the captain had made 
to me, 

All my thoughts were immediately 
bent on getting off the ifland to fome of 
the Engihh fettlements. I plainly per-

SIR, Leigh, Jan. 16, 1760. 
N the bills of mortality at London 
a we often read two odd names, or 

titles, of diftempers which I fancy but 
very few know the meaning of, viz. 
Head mould foot, and Horfe fooe bead, 
and which no phyfical author, that IF 
have met with, unlets Allen, takes any 
notice of ; yet but too meny innocents 
are permitted to die of thefe two difor- 
ders, as do monthly appear in thefe 
mortality bills above faid. 

The firt, or Head mould fbot, isa 
diforder always born with children, i. 
e. They bring it into the world with 
them, and is no more than this, whence 
it takes its name: The edges of the 
fkull at the futures, or feams, (efsecially 
the coronal, alittle above the fore- head) 
over foot, or lap over one another, fo 
that the fibres of the meninges, as ana- 


‘tomifls term them; or the membranes 


inveloping the brain, are ftretcht, or 
torn, and the brain itfelf, for want of 
due room, is likewife a little compreffed, 
whence fuch infants are often {eized and 


‘ carricd ‘off with convulfions, the caufe 


of which calamity being unfuipefted,

rupted the anas uf their blaod, that

them to infupportabie pain. They foon 
communicated this contagion to their 
women, and by their means to their 
enemies: the one as well as the other 
perifhed for want of remedy. The Spa- 
utards in defpair thought that this plague 
would noi fuiluw them into Europe, to 
which they went for change of air; but 
they were miltaken : at their return they 
communicated to the Europeans the 
difeate which they had received from the 
Americans. Luckily, an Indian wo- 
man, the wife of a Caitilian, difcovered 
fome time after, a certain wood named 
Guayacan, which icrved to alleviate the

The [Vth LETTER contains the tra- 

ical hiftory of the death of M. de la 

He, celebrated for the difcovery which 
he made in 1682 of the great river St 
Lewis, known by the name of Miffifip- 
pi, and ftyled by the favages Mefcaffepi, 


which lignite all the rivers, or the ereat: 
river. . de la Salle was murdered 
by the favages in 1687. 

The Akancas, a people who dwell on 
the banks of a river which bears their: 
name,.are the fubje&t of the Vth Let. 
Tea. Among them, dancing is intros 
duced oy every occafion ; there are dan- 
ces of religion, of phyfic, of rejoicing, 
of ceremony, of war, of peace, of mar- 
riage, of death, of play, of hunting, and 
of lewdnefs ; the laft, which was 
wanton, and which was performed pri- 
vately and jn the night, by the light of 
a large firc, has been lately abolithed. - 
The Akangas believe in a great {pirit, 
whom they worthip in the form of a 
ferpent, or a crocodile. They fear the 
devil, whom they ftile the bad {pirit. 
They alfo worfhip the fun and moon. 
When it thunders, they imagine that i 
is the author of lite who {peaks to them 
inanger. Their country is one of the 
fineft and moft fruitful in the world. 

Many Europeans make no difference: 
between the favages and brutes, fuppof- 
ing that they have neither regfon nor 
common fenfe: Several pafflages ia the 
Vith and Vilth Lerrers prove that 
thofe favages:ase only fo in name, and 
that the French, who would impofe on 
them, have been impofed on themfelves. ° 
Forty years ago, the Miffouris, a people 
of Louifiana, had-no knowledge'of the: 
Europeans. A traveller, or wyodman, 
penetrated into their country ; he taught 
them the ufe of fire arms; he fold them: 
fome mufkets and powder; thefe ren- 
dered them very fuccefsful in hunting, 
and confequently they had plenty of 
furs. Another woodman went thither 
fome time after with ammunition ; but 
as the favages were already provided 
with it, they were in no hafte to deal 
with the French adventurer. In order 
to difpcfe of his powder, he had recourfe 
to a very extraordinary ftratagem. As 
the favages arc naturally inquifitive, they 
were curious to know how the powder 
which they cailed grain, grew in France, 
He made thent believe that it was fowed 
in the ficids, and that there were crops 
of it, as there are of indigo or millet 
in America, 

The Miffouris, charmed with this dif= 
covery, did not fail to fow all the pow- 
der that they had left, which gbligéd 
them to purchafe it ‘from the Freach- 
man. He drew a confiderable profig 
from it in the fkins of beavers, ottere, 
&c. The Midourig went frequently 
into the Savannah to fee if the powder 
grew; they tuuk care to appoint aw 

evericer 





New 
everfeer to prevent any animals from ra- 
vaging the field of this fuppofed crop ; 
but they foon difcovered the knavery of 
the trader. Itis worth while to olerve 
that the favages are never impoted on 
more than once, and that they remem- 
ber it; fo thefe were determined to be 
revenged on the firft Frenchman. who 
fhould come among them. Soon after, 
the thirft of gain induced our wood- 
man to fend thither his partner with a 
ftock of merchandize proper for trading 
with the Miffouris. They learned that 
this Frenchman was fent by him who 
hed cheated them; neverthelefs they 
concealed the trick that his predeceffor 
bad played them. ‘They even lent him 
the public hut, which was in the middle 
of the village, that he might there de- 
pot his bales and merchandize ; when 
they were expofed, the Miffouris entered 
it in confufion, and all who had been 
fo foolith as to fow their powder feized 
fome goods, fo that the poor trader was 
deprived of his whole pack, without 
having any recompence made him by the 
favages. The Frenchman exclaim.d 
loudly againft this proceeding; he com- 
plained of it to the great chief of the 
nation, who an{wered him very gravely 
that ‘* he would do him juftice, but 
with that view, he muft wait for the 
crop of powder, which his fubjcé&s had 
fown by his partner’s advice, and that 
he might: be affured, on the word of a 
fovereign, that he would afterwards ap- 
point a general chafe, and that all the 
fkins of the wild bealts which fhould 
then be taken fhould be the reward of 
the important fecret which the French- 
man had taught them.” 

Among many interefting articles in 
the Vilith LETTER, very remarkable 
is the heroifm of a favage who {acrafic- 
ed himfcif to preferve the life of his fon 
whom fome other favages wee going to 
puttodcath. But this ttory is too long 
to be inferted.

that if they would allow him till the

the truth of what he aiiirmed, adding, 
that if he deceived them, they thould da

ealily obtained the reprieve he requelted. 
Then having fixed a {mall looking glats

The old men, who cannot fo:low them 
in a retreat, defire to be knocked on the 
head with clubs, being afraid of falling 
into the hands of their enemies, and to 
be burnt or devoured by them. For 
the favages in their wars maffacre men, 
women, aud even infants at the breaft ; 
this is one of the caufes of the depo- 
pulation of America; the finall-pox, 
which is very fatal to the favages, is 
another. It is from fentime.ts of hu- 
manity that the fons fometimes think 
themfelves obliged to fhorten the lives 
. of their parents, for in other refpects 
they have much refpe& for their old men, 
and never undertake any enterprize 
without having previoufly obtained their 
confent. When a man kills himielf

deceived by that pofture, and approach 
very near the hunters, wha then make

by this ftratagem deftroyed about 400 
of them in one winter's chate. 
Letter XVII. M. Boflu had a

After having flept an hour, ona fud- 
den he found himfclf dragged along by 
an extraordinary force. He waked in 


a great furprize, thinking he was drag- 
ged by the devil; in fa& it was a cro- 
codile more than twenty Feet long. This 
monftrous animal had come out of the 
river during the ftill of the night, al- 
Jured by the fith which was under the 
tent. As thefe amphibious creatures 
are extremely voracious, this threw him- 
felf greedily on the fifth, and in carry- 
ing off his prey into the river, he drag- 
ged alomg M. Boffu by a corner of the 
tent in which he was wrapped. Hap- 
pily he had juft time to extricate himfelf 
on the brink of the precipice, and ef-

The Ccllapigfas and Ouanchas, two 
fmall nations that dwell above New

they fight with great refolution. There

Honours paid to Virgil. 

IF we had no other proof of the merit 

of Virgil than the boundlefs praifes 
of his contemporary poets, this would 
be a demonttration of it. They prifer- 
ed himto Homer, and faid, the AEneid 
was the moft excellent work that Rome 
ever produced. They thought it facri- 
lege to cenfure his verfes. ‘The Roman 

ople affembled in the theatre, having 
Peard fome of them repeated, rofe ti 
to do him honour, and having learned 
that Virgil himfelf was prefent, paid him 
the fame veneration that they would 
have done to Auguftus. That age was 
not fo envious as the prefent, and the 
magnanimity of the Romans appeared 
in thie particular as well as in every 
thing elfe.

Chara&er of Ovid, *Tibullus and Pioe 
pertius. 

I formerly drew upon myfelf the re- 
proaches of the Academy at Caen for 
preferring, in fome refpeéts, Tibullus 
and Propertius to Ovid. What! fuid 
they, is it poffible to prefer the languor 
and fterility of Tibullus, the harthnefs 
and inequalities of Propertius, to the 
fweetnefs, the fertility, and the wit of

Ovid! I begged to be heard in my own 
juftification, and {poke as follows : 
#¢ I am fecond to none in my zeal and 
affe&tion for Ovid. I have delighted in 
him even from my infancy. But whea 
my tafle was improved by age, I was 
convinced that we ought not to give 
into a general admiration. of all his 
works, nor prefer hint, without diftinc- 
tion, to all other poets of the fame 
kind. I make a great difference between 
his Books of Love, his Melamorphofes, 
his Faffi, and thofe which he wrote in 
his exile. 

‘s His Books of Love, and particu- 
Jarly the Epiffles to the Heroines, are 
more correct, more fiudied, more ele- 
gant, and have even more wit and more 
art than any of his writings; whether 
it were that the fubje& pleafed him 
moft, and his heart prompted his mind 
in the compofition, or that the fire of 
youth did then more jlluftrioufly fup- 
port and animate the beauty of his ge- 
nius. 

*¢ The Metamorphofes are far inferior 
to thefe. Itis a work languid, ncgli- 

ent, without fire, and without art. 

he conneétions of his fables (which I 
was taught to admire in my infancy) 
are cold, and drawn in (as we fay) by 
the head and fhoulders *. 

‘6 His books entitled Faffi (or, of 
the Roman Calendar,) are much more 
yaluable. The facility of his wit ene 
abled him to treat very happily, under 
the refiraint of verfe, a fubject little fuf- 
ceptible of the ornaments of poetry. 

‘¢ His other books bear vifible marks 
of the deje&tion and melancholy to 
which his deplorable ftate of banifh- 
ment had reduced him. 

‘6 His chief fault (which indeed runs 
thro’ all his works) is the unbounded 
Juxuriance of his ftyle: He is ambiu- 
ous of faying every thing, and never 
knows whien to ftop ; and has failed in 
that admirable addrefs, known only to 
the preat matters of the art, to raile 
thoughts in the mind of the reader with- 
out expreffing them. I dare not fay, 
with Lambinus, that he was a bad wri- 
ter of latin, but I will be bold to fay 
that he has hazarded feveral words 
which are to be found no where elle, 
and which, it is plain, were coined 
merely to fill up the meafure of the 
verfes where they are placed. Befides, 
he was indacile, incapable of correcting 
himielf, fond of his own wit, and of

his faults, and paid no re to the 
counfel of his friends. gare 

‘¢ But while we paint out his faults, 
we muft not defraud him of hie jut 


‘ praife. He difcovers every where a mind 


very elevatedy very extenfive, highly 
improved, and polithed by polite con- 
verfation. In the midf even of his mot 
negligent works, fome inimitable beay- 
ties efcape him. And, all things confi- 
dered, he is a very agreeable auther, 
whom I would prefer to many others, 
when I am inclined to amufe and divest 
my felf. 

‘< But when the poetic genius of Ovid 
is compared to that of Tibullus and 
Propertius, in the power of moying the 
affections, in the waos, and expreflion, 
Ovid, in my opinion, muft yield, the 
palm. When Cziar gave his judgment 
of Terence, he found him to be defec- 
tive in comtc force: In like manner, I 
would fay that Ovid wants poetic force. 
And, in fa&, giving himfelf up (as he 
did) to his readineds in verfification, it 
was impoeffible that in fuch a copious 
flow of werds, he fhould preferve thofe 
ftriking figures, thofe lively and animat. 
ed turns, which diftinguifh the poet 
from the verifier.” I coyld fupport 
my opinion by the authority of many 
Aellent judges of poetry: But I do 
not reckon Julius Scaliger in thisnum. 
ber, a man indeed of a vaft and eleva- 
ted mind, but of a very bad tafte in po. 
etry. If one had never read his Hyfer- 
critics, a work fo full of falfe views, 
where he is more buly in piddling with 
words, and in altering corrupted verfes 
(often from bad to worfe,) than in 

orming a folid judgment on the general 
plan; I fay, (abftraétedly from this) 
who can fubmit to the decifions of a 
man who has obtruded on the world fo 
many wretched verfes of his own ?

The commentaries on the ancient La- 
ta authors, which were undertaken by. 
the king's order for the ule of the Dau- 
m, and for the public fervice, were 
eatirely the thought of the duke de 
Montanfier. As he always loved and 
cultivated the Belles Lettres, and took, 
pleafure in reading the ancients, as 
much as his various employments civil 
and military would permit him, he often 
met in his way with ob{cure paflages 
which ftopped him for want of commen- 
taries with which he could not crowd hia 
baggage. Thefe obfcurities were of two 
forts, they either lay in the text and ex- 
preffion of the author ; or they regarded 
points of hiftory or mythology, the un- 
derftanding of which depended on the 
knowledge of antiquity. He therefore 
fought remedies for thefe two obftacles : 
He thought that a new tranflation would 
prove a comment, and clear the ob{cu- 
nities of the text; and that matters of 
ancient learning might be explained in 
notes. It were to be wifhed, for the 
worthy execution of this defign, that as 
great a number of perfons could have 

found confummate in the Belles 
Lettres as there were authors whw de- 
ferved this culture. 

But as it would not have beerl reafon-

ftudies and employments without a fui-

eafy to tind perfons duly qualified to pur 
them in the condition which I desired, 
We were obliged to make ute of Such 
as we could meet with. They were of °

cafion made me entertain a delire of giv. 
ing every one of thefe authors a cuinplete 
index of all the words contained in it, 
well knowing the great advantages the 
republic of letters received from the 
{mall number of like indexes taat were

the limits of the Latin tongue. So that 
by means thercof one might find in a

word. ‘The Roman language and Ro-

would have been: But the length of

be entered in the regifters of the Senate

Majeity declared, that if the Senate 
continued to oppofe the Convocation of

and earneftly prayed the King that he 
would defilt from his demand ; “but his 
Majefty declared he would not, and de- 
fired that the Senate might give hima 
catagorical anfwer. An hour after, fix 
other Senators went and intreated the 
King to grant the Senate a delay of four 
days. His Majefty then lofing all pa-

the improvement of wafte lands is ate 
tended with confiderable expence, appli 
cation has been made to the clergy, that 
fuch lands fhould be free of eythe for x

as the fir erops do not equal the ex-

Jaiety, becomes a real prohibition of 

fuch improvements; efpecially to fare 

mers, who beginning with {mall capi- 
tals, cannot lie long out of their money. 

And if the government, add they, gives 

up the taxes raifed for the fervice of the

ince it is their duty to fet examples of 
difinterefted good-will to the public ;-

which is, in every refpeé& fimiiar to the

if they were duly rewarded. 

66 We might also obtain theep from 
Sweden, waere, notwithRanding the in- 
clemency of their winters, they are not 
inferior to thofe of England ; owing to 
the particular care taken of them. The 
only difference obfervable is, that in 


Sweden they lofe their teeth two years: 
fooner than they do in England, occa-. 
fiorned probably by the too great cold ; ° 


and therefore it may be prefumed, that 


returning to a more temperate climate, 


this circumftance will ceafe. 

s* A third {chool fhould be eftablifh- 
ed in Berry, or Languedoc, for inftrué- 
ing thepherds in the management of the

The Royal Society of Acriculture at 
Roven, after duly confidering the pa- 
pers thus laid, before them, obf:rve, 
that ‘* unleis thefe foreign theep can be 
kept feparate,, without mixing either 
one kind with another, or withthe theep 
ef the country, the whole will fall into 
a baftard race, and degenerate, as they 
bave done in moft parts of Encland: and 
conclude, that the only eftcCtual means 
of anfwering this defirable purpofe mu 
depend upon government.” 

“They propele, therefore, ‘* That go-

would be enriched by folaing the theep

plenty of natural and artificial graffes, 
as well as corn, for the maintenance of 
the fhepherds.

and declare our unfeigned and inviola-

ment, and that we glory in being your 
fubjedts. We acknowledge with the 
utmoft fincerity of heart, the tender and 
indulgent regard you have fhewn to all 
your people from the beginning of your 
reign, and that earneft detire to make 
them ealy, fafe, and happy, under your

government, however remote from your 
royal prefence. 

We want words to exprefs the deep 
fenfe we have of your great condefcen- 
fion, goodne(s, and juftice, in moft gra- 
cioufly hearing our complaints againft 
the Jate American Stamp-a&, and giv- 
ing your royal affent to the repeal there- 
of ; and cannot omit this occafion of 
reiterating our gratitude and moft hum- 
ble thanks for the fame. 

We are perfectly fatisfied that we lie 
under all poffible obligations to our 
parent country; we acknowledge all due 
{ubordination tothe Britith parliament; 
we are convinced that it is our intereft, 
as well as duty, to ufe our conftant en- 
deavours, by every act of gratitude, 
obedience, and loyalty, to endear our- 
felves to every branch of that auguft 
body, and to preferve that union and 
harmony between Great Britain and 
thefe Colonies, on which the fafety, 
ftrength, wealth, and happinefs of the 
whole empire fo much depends. 

But permit us, Royal Sir, as lovers 
of Britain and our excellent conftituti- 
on, as follicitous to enjoy the rights and 
liberties of freemen and Englithmen, 
and to tranfmit them to our pofterity, 
as your faithful and loyal fubje&s, to 
proftrate ourfelves at your royal feet, 
and humbly to implore your gracious 
attention to the following particulars, 
which ftrike us, and all the good people 
we reprefent, with the moft dreadful ap- 
prehenfion and affliction. 

With the moft humiliating forrow we 
have beheld your majefty’s antient co- 
lony of New York deprived of her le- 

iflative authority by an act of the late 
Britith parliament: And with equal 
concern we obferve, that duties for the 
fole and exprefs purpofe of raifing a 
revenue in America, have been lately 
impofed, by other acts of the fame par- 
liament, upon feveral articles of com- 
merce imported into thefe Colonies 
which we are obliged to purchafe. 

By the operation of thefe a&s, our 
affembly will be no longer the reprefen- 
tatives of a ficepeople, but deprived of 
the right of cxercifing their own judg- 
ments in confulting the good and prof- 
perity of their conitituents : Our mo- 
ney will be taken from us without our 
confent, and we fhall not be allowed 
the opportunity of fhewing our willing- 
nefg to contribute towards the fupport 
of government, adminiftration of juf- 
tice, and defence of eur country. Thefe 
meafures and proceedings to us 
truly alarmmg; and if continued, or 


drawn into example, muk, in our bam. 
e 





ble opinion, be totally deftructive of our 


property, liberty and appine(fs. ; 

P bis fenfe of our denlorable conditi- 
on will, we hope, plead with your ma- 
jefty in our behulf, for the freedom we 
take in dutifully remonftrating agaifft 
the proceedings of a Britihh parliament, 
cointefledly the wile and greateft aflem- 
bly upon earth. , | 

Bat if our fellow-fubje&s of Great 
Britain, who derive no authority from 
uss who cannot, in our bumble opini- 
on, reprefent us, and to whom we will 
not yield in loyalty and affection to your 
majefty, can, at their will and pleafure, 
of right give and grant away our pro- 
perty ; if they can enforce an implicit 
obedience to every order or act of their’s 
for that purpofe, and deprive all, or 
any of the affemblies on this continent 
of the power of legiflation, for differ- 
ing with them in opinion in matters 
which intimately affect their rights, in- 
terefis, and every thing that is dear and 
valuable to Englifhmen; we cannot 
imagine a caie more miferable; we 
cannot think that we thall have even the 
fhadow of liberty left. ; 

We conceive it to be an inherent right 
in your majefty’s fubjeéts, derived to 
them from God and nature, handed 
down from their anceftors, and confrm- 
ed by your royal predeceffors and the 
conftitution, in peafen, or by their re- 
prefentatives, to give and grant to their 
Sovereign taofe things, which their own 
labours and their own cares have ac- 
quired and faved; and in fuch propor- 
tions, and at fuch times, as the national 
honour and intereft may require. Yous 
majetty's faithful fubjc&s of this go- 
vernment have enjoyed this ineftimable 

r.vilege uninterrupted from its firft ex- 
iltence till of late. ——They have at all 
times chearfully contributed, to the ut- 
molt of their abilities, for your majef- 
ty’s fervice, as often as your royal re- 
uifitions were made known.—~And 
they cannot now, but with the greatelt 
uneafinefs and diftrefs of mind, part 
with the power of demonftrating their 
loyalty and affection to their beloved 
ng. 
When it is confidered, that your ma- 
jefty has a negative upon our laws, and 
the fole execution of them; that our 
overnor is only during your royal plea- 
fire, and all honours and diftinétions 
are derived from the crown, it is hum- 
bly hoped, that the dependance of this 
cojony on the mother country will ap- 
pear to be sufficiently fecured. 

We are not infenfible, that it muft

but we are your fubjects alfo, and we 
fubmit our caufe to your juftice, pru- 
dence, and goodnefé ; thefe, we ref af- 
{fured, will appear in our behalf. 
Moft Gracious Sovereign, 

WE mof humbly afk pardon for pre- 
fuming to give your majefty the trouble 
of this reprefentation, which has pro- 
ceeded from our love to our “country, 
our care for our pofterity, and the pal 
fionate concern we have for our darling 
liberty: Our only hope, next under 
God, is in your facred majefty, that by 
your great wiidom and goodnefs, ‘we 
fhall be relieved from our prefent diftref- 
fing apprehenfions. 

e therefore, dread Sir, moft hum- 
bly implore your royal interpolition in 
our behalf, (and we truft, as our fel- 
low-fubje&ts in Britain are gencrous, 
fenfible, and humane, ) this our applica- 
tion will meet with a favourable iffue. 

Permit us to repeat the unfeigned 
profeffions of our unalterable fidelity 
and affe€tion to your majefty’s facred 
perion and government, our zeal for the 
continuance of the Proteftant fucceffion 
in your illuftrious houfe, and our ten-

firm the report of Fis having undergone 
public cenfures for his incontinency ; 
efpecially feeing that after that time, 
viz. at the age of 120 years, he married 
a widow, who owned, Exns cum ipa 
rem babuife, ut alii mariti folent; et uf- 
que ad 13 annos retroados folitum cum 
ea -congrefum frequentafe. Further, 
that hé had a large breaft, lungs not 
fungous, but fticking to his ribs, and 
diftended with much blood; a lividnefs 
in his face, as he had a difficulty of 
breathing a little before his death, and 
a losg-lafting warmth in his arm-pits 
and bfeaft after it, (which fign, together 
with otlters were fo evident, in his body, 
as they ufe to be on thofe that die by 
{uffocation.) His heart was great, 
thick, fibrous, and fat. The blood in 
the heart blackith and diluted. The car- 
uilages of the fternum not more bony 
than in others, but flexile and foft. His 
vifcera were found and ftrong, efpecially 
the ftomach ; and it was obferved of 
him, that he ufed to eat often by night 
and day, tho’ contented with old cheefe, 
milk, coarfe bread, fmall beer, and 
whey ; and, which id more remarkable, 
that he did eat at midnight, a little be- 
fore he died. His kidneys covered with 
fat and pretty found ; only on the inte- 
rior furface of them were found fome 
aqueous or ferous abfeffes, whereof one 
was near the bignefs of a hen-egge, 
with a yellowith water in it, having 
made a roundifh cavity, impreffed on 
that kidney: whence fome thought it 
came, thet a little before his death a 
fuppreffion of urine had befallen him : 
theugh others were of opinion, that his 
urine was {uppreffed upon the regurgi- 
tation of all the ferofity into his lungs. 
Not the leaft appearance there was of 
any ftony matter, either in the kidneys 
or bladder. His bowels were a! fo found, 
a little whitith without. His fpleen very 
little, hardly equalling the bignefs of 
one kidney. In fhort, all his inward 
parts appeared fo healthy, that if he had 
not changed his dict and air, he might 
perhaps have lived a good while longer. 
The caufe‘of his death was imputed 
chiefly to the change of food and air ; 
for as much as coming out ef a clear, 
thin and free air, he came into the thick 
air of London; and after a conftant, 
plain, and homely country diét, he was 
taken into a (plendid family, where he 
fed high, and drank plentifully of the 
beft wines, whereupon the natural func- 
stons of the parts off his body were over- 


charged, lis Jungs obftruéted, and the 


habit of the whole body quite diforders 
ed ; upon which there could not but 
enfue a diffolution. 

His brain was found, entire, and firm: 
And though he had not the ufe of his 
ey¢s, nor much of his memory, feveral 

ears before he. died, yet he had his 
aring and apprehenfion very well, and 
was able, ‘even to the hundred and thir- 
tieth year of his age to do any hufband- 
man’s work, even threfhing of corn-

The Story of a difpbedient Daughter. 


The Hifery of Mania MORTIMER. 


Mr Unbax, 
It is a common obfervation, but a 

very jaft one, that child:en do noe 
know the duty which is owing to 
their parents, till they come to have 
2 progeny of their own; then, in- 
deed, the numberle(s hours of folici- 
tude, which they experience for the 
happinefs of their little ones, wake 
them into the full fenfibility of a filial 
affe&tion, if they are not wholly cal- 
Jous to the fineft feelings of humani- 
ty ; and they learn a juft knowledge 
of the obligations they lie under tu 
the anthers of their being, by the re- 
verence and love which they expec 
from thoafe on whom they have con- 
ferred the biefling of exittence them- 
felves. 

I myfelf am a melancholy proof of 
the foregoing obfervation.—My fa- 
ther, Sir, is a man of family and for- 
tune, who, though he nad feveral 
other children, equally entitled to his 
attention, yet treated me qith fuch 
an extraordinary fhare of affeétion, 
that I was generally diftinguithed b 
the namé of the Favourite; this dif. 
tintion, however, initead of giving 
me a laudable ambition of deferving 
this parental partiality, flled me only 
with a thameful inclination to abufe 
it; the continual indulgence which 
fhould excite my gratitude, ferved 
entirely to fwell my pride; and the 
favours which I ought to have 
received with the deepeit refpect, I 
looked upon as fo many actual debts 
to my fuperior accomplifthments.— 
Nay, Sir, I frequently thought my 
father much obiiged to me, when I 
condefcended to accept a token of his 
tendernefs, and refented as an abfo- 
lute indignity tomy merit any necef- 
(ary document which he gave on the 
glaring improprieties cf my behaviour. 

Volatile and vain, my regards were 
folely centered in myfelf, and I ima- 
gined him either uunatural or kind, 
az he coofuited the pratiacation of my 
withes; yet thouzh I expected he 
would, upon all occaficns, comply 
with the particular turn of my tem- 
per, Lr ev:r recollected that any thing 
wasdne to bis peace; [ never remem- 
bered, that bis happinefs materisily 
depended upon my prudence, nor 
confitered how cruelly an a@ of dif- 
obediance mutt ftah him tothe heart ; 
onthe contrary, Sir, to =y evertafting 
difgrace be it mentioned, | always 
wanted his repofe facrificed to my 
own humour, and even found an ex. 


quite pleaftre in revenging on the

good, the venerable man, ever - 
ofition which be had madetot ‘ear 
Fogance of my will; that Js, in other 
words, every affectionate anxiety 
which he manifefted for the advance. 
ment cf my felicity. 

The hand, the upright hand of 
Heaven, however, has juttly punifhed 
my ingratitude, and the very difobg« 
dience in which I triumphed, is now, 
by the wife difpenfation of Providence, 
arad of {corpions to itfelf. 

Indulged as I .was by the goodnele 
thus abufed, and poffe ed of a perfon, 
perhaps paflable enough, it may he 
eafily fuppofed rhat when I apprqached 
to saturity, I received fome flagter- 
lng addretfes from your fex, efpecially 
as I had pretenhons to a genteel tor- 
tune. My poor father, indeed, was 
extremely de firous of feeing me fettled 
in the world, and recommended a 
gentleman to my attention, who was 
every way qualified to make me hap- 

, if I had eutertaine@ any rational 
ideas of bappinefs; but the very ar- 
gument which fhould have reconciled 
mé to this offer, I mean the recom. 
mendation of a parent, materially 
determined me againit it. I could nat 
bear the thought of being governed 5 
my lover was, hefides, a man wholly 
without fpirit, thatis, without either 
the fafhionable follies or the fafhiona- 
ble vices of the ape, and there was no 
enduring the lifelefs morality of fuch 
a character ; he was therefore {peedily 
difmiffed, and my father prefuming 
to be offended at my fully, I compli- 
ed with the prefling folicitations of a 
young captain of dragoons, who had 
newly enrolled himfelf among the 
number of my admirers, and {pirie- 
edly accompanied him ona matsimo- 
nial tour to Scotland, without ever 
aking afingle quettion relative to his 
circumitances or his family. 

Oh! ye amiable, ye now fmiling 
daughters of protperity, who enjoy 
the bleffings of a parental prote&ion, 
learn from my wretched fate to fet a 
juft eftimation on the tendernefs of a 
tather; do not think difobedience a 
proof of good fenfe, nor imagine it 
a mark ot heroif{fm to be unnatural. 
Unacquainted with the ways of the 
world, you sequire inflruGion fram 
the wife, and none can be fo faithful 
a monitor, as he who is deeply inter- 
eited in yourhappinefs. Had 1 pru- 
dently followed the leffon, which fz- 
tal experience enables me to inculcate, 
how niany days of anguith had I a- 
voided! But recollection now only 
ferves to harrow up my bofem, and 

wae 


34 


the mifery which mutt mark the rem- 
nant of my life, is for ever to be ag- 

ravated with the con{cioufnefs of its 
Feing juitly merited. 

For fome time after my marriage, I 
expeSted every day to receive an over- 
ture of reconciliation from iny fa- 

‘ther, and my pride began to be fe- 
'*¥erely mortified at the bare imagina- 
‘tion that it was poffible for lim to caft 
-me wholly off {rom his affection. —— 
But this pride was {till more mortified, 
‘when my hufband informed me, that 
she had loft a large fum of mcuney 
at play, and that, uniefs ny family 
immediately did fome very handfome 
things for me, he mut not only be 
under an indifpendble neceifity of fel- 
ling his commniffion, but mutt entirely 
bid adieu to his country. Thunder- 
‘truck at this information, I feit a'l 
the guilt of my late mifcondu& with 
‘the keeneft fenfibility. Nay, my very 
vanity fuppiied the place of virtue ; 
and pointed out the meannefs of ap- 
plying only in the hour cf diftrefs, 
and even then of applying merely for 
relief to the father, whom I had fo 
infamoutly deferted, for an acquain- 
‘tance of a month.— However, the ap- 
‘plication was unavoidable; my huf- 
Pand’s dificulties, if removed, were 
to be removed inttantly ; I therefore 
fat down, blufhing with fhame, yet 
‘trembling with apprehenfion, and 
‘wrote a penifential letter to my f2- 
‘ther, acknowledging ‘my faults, fet- 
ting forth my di(treffes, and conjur- 
ing him by all he held dear, tu take 
pity on my wretched fituation. 

This letter I di-patched by a foot- 
‘man, who returned in a litile time 
with the excruciating an{wer, that my 
father had folemnly determined never 
‘to hold the leaft intercoufe with an 
-‘wanatural wretch who had deftroyed 
his everlafting peace of mind, and 
‘brought an indelible (tain upon his 
houfe, by marrying a defpicable gam- 
bles. Dreadful as this reply appear- 
ed to me, the information it contain- 
‘ed, with regard to my hufband’s cha- 
ratter, was the moft infupportable part 
of.it. J always looked upon him to 

.be a gentleman at leatt; though im- 
prudently married, I did not fancy 
‘myfelf mirried dithonourably — But 
‘my father’s opinion of my choice was 
unhappily too juttiy founded ; and 
. when the contemptiole fellow in whofe 
hands I had placed the whole happi- 
_nefs of my life, difcevered that my 
_*texpeftations of a fortune were en- 
tirely at an end, he quitted the king- 
dom, and the firft intelligence I re- 
ceived of bis fight, came from a man

A Genuine Letter from a Noble Lord to 
a R.Rs PRELATE, ; 
My Lord, **°*9*, Fume 15, 1754+ 
Was yetterday informe. that your 
Lordthip had Jaid your commands 
upon Mr ****, the vicar of this pa- 
rith, to repair to his living; your 
loruthip it feems, being no longer 
Jifpofed to difpenle with his ncn-re- 
ftence. The vicar and his friends 
give out, that this order is occafioned 
by a vote the vicar gave at a Jate elec- 
tion contrary to your lordthip’s jaug - 
ment. 

I do not pay the leaft regar:t to this 
reprefentation, nor have i any fafpi- 
cion that your lordship was dete: min- 
ed in this matter by any other confi- 
deration than a pious concern for the 

of the parifhoners. And cn 
that account, I make myfelf fu'e yeur 
lordfhip will no longer infift upon 
Mr *##8's refidence with us, after 
your lordthi» is intormed that it is 
ikely to have a contrary effect, 


In tbort, my lord, the parifhioners 
of **** defire to fee na_mereof their

which is for about a_Tortnight or 
three weeks annualiy in_partri.e

Of people, and che diligence, fobriety, 
good fenfe, and humanity of the'r 
prefent curate, are highly acceptabie 
and edifying to then. This worthy 
man muft of courfe be difmified if 
the vicar comes to refide, and the peo- 
pie think they {hall be no gainers by 
the exchange. 

We acknowledge, my lord, that 
Mr **** has his accomplifhments. 
He is a polite gentleman, playsa god

man ata partridge or a woodccck, of 
an excellent tatte, and exquilite jndg- 
ment onthe merit of claret and port, 
and by the ftrength of his head, is 
able to ca.1y off his full fhare of e1- 
ther, always with decency, and not 
feldom with glory. But the misfor- 
tune is, t':at the poor people of his 
parith, have no opportunities of fit- 
ting under his miniftry, when and 
where he is di‘playing thefe admira- 


35 


ble talents; and when it comes fo 
their turn to profit by his paftoral 
gifts, it isan aniverfal complaint, that 
their attention cannot keep pace with 
his expedition, in rexding the letlons 
and the prayers, and that their capa- 
cities cannot fathom the depth of his 
differtations on the idea of deity, 
eternal relations, or the dignity of 
the church ; which laft point he al- 
ways contrives to touch npon either 
in the exordium or peroration of his - 
difcourfe. 

When the vicar is with us, the cu- 
rate migrates to his mafter's other 


' living, above fifty miles off, (though 


certihed, by the bye, to be only thir- 
ty) and whatever occafional duties are 
wanted in the interval, the parifhio- 
ners are for the moft part obliged to 
have recourfe to a neighbouring cler- 
gyman to perform, as the vicar’s en- 
pagements are not to be broken by 
uch trifling avocations, 

Some time before- your lordthip’s 
promotion to the epifcopal bench, a 
motion was made in our houfe for a 
bill to compel the incumbents of be- 
nefices yielding rsol. per ann. or up- 
wirds, clear of reprifals, to conftane 
1ei.dence. The bench were in gene- 
ral againft the motion, on account of 
the difcouragement this would be to 
learning, (as the motion was in effeét 
defigned to exclude pluralities) and 
the hardfhip it would be on men of 
fuperior parts, to be confined to the 
performance of the ordinary parochi- 
al duty, which might ke difcharged 
by curates cf mu h inferior quala- 
cations; and to thefe were added an 
arxinent taken from the obligation 
tnere was upon the ftare to protect the 
church in her rights and privileges. 

I did not, Town, comprehend the 
force of this reafoning, but however 
I fruck in with the party againt the 
Motion, uoon a plainer and more in- 
telligible argument cf my own, taken 
from the inconvenience of confining 
numbers cf the more oonlent ard 
fsthionablt: clergy, 10 their refpe&ive 
cures; with thei- incripuing, ambi- 
tious, feenlar, and fenfual ‘pirit about 
them. Ithought then, and I conei- 
nue ftill to think, that they wanld be 
very bad examples to the peoole, and 
do more harm by their praétice, than 
they wouid do good by their infiruc- 
ticns. I exprefled my opinion, that 
where a man's confcience would vot 
difpoehir ¢ take the care of his parifh 

ei fonaily upon himfelf, l:e mult have 
fome very unclerical qualities, which

Moamoirs of the Life of the late Dr Sa- 
MUEL CHANDLER, 

R CHANDLER was defcended 

from anceftors heartily engag- 
ed tn the caufe of non-conformity, 
ahd {nfferers for the liberty of con- 
{fcience. His grandfather, Chandler, 
a tradefman at Taunton in Somer. 
fétthire, was much injured in his for- 
tune by the perfecutions under Charles 
WI. but bore chearfully she /poiling 
of bis goods, that he might preferve his 
peace of mind, and his title to the 
better and more enduring fubflance in 
beaven inviolate. 

His father, the Rey. Mr Henry 
Chand'er, wasa diffenting minifter, 
of confiderable worth and abilities, 
who {pent the greater part of his mi- 
uifterial life at Bath, where he main- 
tained an honourable name. Mr 
Samuel Chandler, his eldeft fon, was 
born at Hungerford, in Berks, where 
his father was then a minitter, in 1693. 
Dilcovering early a genius for lea‘ n- 
Ihe, It was cultivated with care, and 
he was placed under mafters, with 
whom he made fuch improvements in 
claffical learning, that few carry from 
the college fo large a ftogk of this, 
and particularly of the Greek, as he 
was mafter of before he went to the 
academy. 

Being determined for the miniftry, 
re was fhrft fent to an academy at 


Memoirs of thé Rev. Dr Chandler. 


Bsidgeweter, whence he was foon re- 
moved to Gloucefter, that he might 
be « pupil of the very learned and in- 
genious Mr Samyel Jones, who had 
opened an academy in that city, with 
great reputation, which he jong fup- 
ported, as he applied himfell with 
uncommon diligence to cultivate the 
minds of hie pupils; in which he was 
not a little animated by the diltin- 
guithed geniufes of feveral of them 
one of whom was the famous D 
Butler, who died bifhoo of Durbam, 
and anotber the late archbifhop of 
Canterbury *. That emulation which 
fuch companions in itudy rouft excite, 
and the mutuai light and affiftance 
they would communicate, could not 
but greatly contribute to render Mr 
Chandler richly furnifhed in the fe- 
veral parts of literature and fcience, 
to which he apzlied ; and particularly 
in critical, biblical, and oriental lear- 
ning. And the acquaintance and 
frisndfhip which then commenced, 
was continued with reciprocal inftau- 
ces of efteem and regard to the end 
of life, notwithftanding their diffe- 
rent Rations and engagements. | 

Mr Chandler leaving the acacemy, 
began to preach about July 1714, and, 
entering upon his facred employ- 
ments, with fuch abilities, and thefe 
fo wellimproved, was foon taken no- 
tice of ; and chofen to be their minif{- 
ter by the :refbyterian congregation 
at Peckham, near London, in 1916, 
and ferved them in the gore! of 
Chrift, with acceptance and reputa- 
tion, till he was called thence to 
minifter ta the fociety in the Old 
Jewry, one of the moft confiderable 

refbyterian churches in the city. 
hile Mr Chandler was employed at 
Peckham, fume gentlemen of the fe- 
veral denominations of diffenters in 
the city, came to a refolution to fet up 
and fupport a weekly evening le@ure 
atthe Old Jewry, for the winter haif 
year; the fubjeéts treated in which 
were to hethe evidences of xatural and 
revealed celizicn, and anjwersto the 
principal objc/icas urged againk thems 
and chofe two of the moft eminent 
young miniftersin each denomina- 
tion for executing this defign. Of 
tbefe Mr Chandler was one, and the 
very worthy and learned Dr Lardner 
another, 

When this lecture was dropped, 
another of the fame kind was fet 
archbifhop of Canterbury, it was faid thar 
his Grace was put under the tuxion: of the 
father of the late Dr Ferdinando Warmer, 
which feems co be a miftake. Mair. 





Mameirs of the Rev. Dr Chandler. 


tg, fo Be preactied by one pérfon; and 
My Chandler wat ‘chotes for this 
fervi.e. Inthe courfe of thie leQure 
he preached fome fermons of the 
confirmation which mira:/es gave to 
the divine miffion of Chr-ft, and the 
truth of his religion; and vindicated 
the argement againtt the objeétions 
of Collins, in bis Grounds and Reéfns, 
&c. The‘e fermons, by the advice of 
a friend, he thiew into the form of 
a continued treatife, and printed. 
This work gajued him high reputa- 
tion, aud mace way for his being 
called, upon the firit vacancy, to fet- 
tle with the-corgrezation in the Qid 
‘Jewry, about the year 1716; firft as 
an afsflaxt, and atterwards as their 
pater. Here he miniftered to the 
religious improvement and eternal 
felicity of an affectionate and gene- 
rous people for forty veare, with an 
encreafing and eltab!: hed reputation; 
which, how well it was de(erved; his 
difcourfes formerly and now printed 
Sufficiently manifeft. 

“Peshape it may be of ufe to ftudi- 
ous perfons, of tender conttiturions 
to be informed, thar Mr Chandler, in 
the younger part of life, was fubjeé& 
to frequent and dangerous fevers; 
one of which confined him more than 
three months, and threatened, by its 
effects, to difable him for public fer- 
vice. Hs was, therefore, adviled to 
go into the vegelatle diet, in which he 
continued for twelve years. ‘Pnis 
psoduced fo happy an alresation in 
his conttitution, thar though he af. 
terwards returned to the ufual way 
of living, he enjoyed an uncommon 
fhare of vigour and [pirits till feventy. 

Among orher learned and ufful 
detigns winich Mi Crancler had form.

prophe's. Having finihhed Joel. which 

e publifhed, and sone a great way 
in Ifaiah, he met with the manufcript 
lexicon and lectu es of the famous 
Avabic profeffor Schultens, who much 
recommends the expiaining the difii- 
cult words and phrafes of the Hebrew 
Janguage, by comparing them with 
the Arabic: This determined Mr 
Chandler to (tudy the Hebrew a new, 
with this lig!-: before him, and to 
drop his commsntary till !:¢ fhould 
thus have fatisfied hi-nfelf that he 
had attained the genuine fente of the

Betcre I concinde thefe brief me- 
moirs, | would mention rwo of three 
faéts, which juflice to the Du€cr's 
memory will not allow me to omit, 
The fir is, that the widows and er- 
phan: of poor diffenting minifters are 
greatly indebted to him for that fund 
which has relieved fo muny of their 
neceffitier. He firft fornicd the de- 
fign of it, and by his intereft and ap- 
plications engaged a number of gen- 
tlemen in the generous fubfcription, 
that laid the foundation on whieh this 
excellent charity has fince rifen to 
its prefent greatnels; and to this fund 
he continued a zealous friend tu the 
Jaft. Two other faéts I thall tran- 
fcribe from the fermon preached at 
his funeral. 

The one is, that the high repota- 
tion which he had pained, by his de- 
fence of the Chriftian religion, pro- 
cured him, from fome of the gover- 
nors of the eftablifhed church, the 
offers of confiderable preferment, 
which he nobly declined. He valued 
more than thefe, the liberty and in- 
tegrity of his con{cience, and fcomed, 
for any worldly contiderations, to pre- 
fefs as divine truths, doctrines which 
he did not really believe, and to prac- 
tice in religion, what he did not in- 
wardly approve. An honourable fa. 
crifice to truth and honefiy, and weil 
compenfated by the affeétion and ge- 
nerofity of his pecple, as far as fuch 
faciifices are recompenfed cn this fide 
the grave. 

The other fa& is this. When it had 
pleafed God, during the {ait years of 
his life, to viit him with frequent re- 
turns Of a mot paintul diforder, he 
bore thefe with a reficnation becoming 
the faith of a Chriftian, grew vilihly 
more difengaged from femporal things, 
and often with warmth declared, that 
to fecure the divine felicity promifed 
by Chrift, was the principal and al- 
moft oly thing that mace lite defir- 
able; that, to attain thia, he would 
pladly die, fubmitting himfelf entire- 
ly to God, as to the time and manner 
of death, whofe will was moftt righte- 
ous and good; and being perfuaded, 
that all qvas well, which ended well for 
elernity. 

Thus Dr Chandler clofed a long, 
aGtive, and uleful hfe, and we truft 
he is among the dead whe have died ie 


White he was thus employed inad- the Lord, and are bleffed , who reft from 
wancing the sicerefis of religion, their labours, and vsbofe works ellow 


 kearaing, and liberty, he received the them. Tho. Amor}.

1. Thoughts on the Origin and Na- 
ture of Government, occahoned by the 
Difputes between Great Britain and ber 
American Colonies. 


3 H E aushor lays down his fundamental 
principle in thefe terms: “‘ The 
richts of gavernment are built upon fome- 
‘thing much more certain and permanent 
than any véluntary human con:ra@, real or 
imaginary ; for they are built upon the 
weaknefs and neceffities of mankind. Téhe 
exural weaknefs of man in a fol:tory fate, 
prompts bim to fly for protection to whoever is 
able to afford it, that is, te fome one more pow- 
ul, than himfef ; while the more powerful 
anding equally in need of his fervice, readily 
receives it in return for the protection he gives. 
This is the true nature of that contra:} which 
pervades every part of the focial world, and 
which is to be feen at all times, in every 
empire, republic, city and family, or indeed 
wherever two or three are met together. 
From this js derived all the relations of 
mafter and fervant, patron and client, king 
and funje@ ; acd every projec in public and 
private life which does not proceed upon this 
reciprocal obKigation of proteGion and fer- 
tice, will be for ever abortive, or fatal to 
the pro efor.” 

He chen proceeds as follows: ‘“‘ Ina ftate 
eonfifting of one ruler, and one fubje@, like 
that of R:dinfon Crujoe and his man Frvday, 
the fervice of one of thefe in return for the 
proteGion of the other, can be on'y perfonal ; 
andthe modc, as well as the quantity, of 
this fervice muft be left t-. the difcretion of 
the fuperior ; whofe will muft ferve for all 
the diferent forts of tay, cither with regard 
to public or private rights, which-the nature 
of that fimple fociety can pofiibly admit. 
But in a nura.rous fociet, it would be ab- 
furd, that all the fubjects thould be perfon- 
ally employed in the public fervice : as a 
very few of a numerous community are fif- 
ficient to do all that is required for the de- 
fence and proteation of the whole. But as 
all are equally liable; and the Jetting the 
whole labour fall upon a few, would be un- 
juft ard ruinous, it became neceffary that 
each man in che community fhould contri- 
bute a certain portion of the produé of his 
private induftry, for the maintenance of thofe, 
who heing occupied in fulfilling the general 
obligaticn, of ferving or affifting the pro- 
teQing power, have not fufficient leifure to 
provicie fubfiftance for themfelves, In fhort, 
a fax, in whatever mode it may appear, is 
but another word for fervice ; and as that en- 
ters effentially into the very Leing of go- 
vernment ; whatever concerns the appoint- 
ing, regulating, or rendering it effectual, be- 
comes the moft important part of legifla- 


tion ; and which, from the nature of things, . 


no inferior part of adminiftration, much lefs 
the fubjcQs, have the leaft right to meddle 
with, except under the fupreme authority.

power of the purfe into the hands of any @- 
ther part of the fociety, fuch a refignation 
would amount co an abdication of the ygo- 
yernment : and chat part which became In- 
vefted with the power of levying money, 
would be, ipjo facto, fupreme. 

What then es of the notion, Thas 
people ought st to be ttxe1 bus by their own con- 
feat? Any fet of people who are matters of 
their own purfes, are mafters cf thelr own 
fervices, they are their own mafters, and 
fubje& to no body. From chofe who are 
really fubje@&s fuch confent never was nor 
ever can be atked, I will be faid, thee rhe 
people of England consent to ther ows taxatics 
by their reprefentutives. Bu: this is only a 
vulgar mifarprehenfion ; the confenc of the 
people being no inore required in Engiand, 
upon fuch eccafions, shin it ts in Turkey : 
The fole difference is that the fupreme pow- 
ex happens to be differently conftituted in 
thofe two different ftates, but whea confti- 


.tured, ic equally affumes the right of impo- 


fing taxes upon the pvople withovt their cos- 
fen’. The people of England, or certain 
cleffes of them, haye a rizht by election to 
conititure the third past of the leziflactve 
power for feven years ; and it would make 
no difference in my argument if they confti- 
ftuted the whole for thatterm : but frum the 
day of cl:EFion, the f cop ¢ have no more fhare 
in the leriflation than thofe of Tu key, and 
the frings of their purfes are equally retigned 
inco the hands of cheir rulers. Ic may be 
pethaps faid that if thefe members of par- 
Hament abofe the confidence that Is put in 
them, the people may at the end of feven 
years cle@ others in their ftead. But this 
does not in the leat affcét the queftion, which 
is not what is to happen after the fupreme 
leviflative power is diffulved ; but what hap- 
pens while it a€cually fubifts. When a par- 
liament is diffulved, the people muft proceed 
to the cedtion either of the fame or other 
members 3 but whoever they elu ‘t wi Lhave 
the fame unlimited power with their prede- 
cefurs ; and, although the perfuns may be 
changed. che conflitullon of the government 
and the rights of the governors and the go- 
verned are perpetual, and arc no more 
changed a‘ong with the members of parlia- 
ment, than they are in Turkey, when one 
Sultan, in that military democracy, is depo- 
fed by his conftituents the Janizaties, and a- 
nother fet up in his place. So far from the 
confent or opinion of the people of England 
being more particularly neceflary in this {pe- 
cies of legiflation than in any other, chat all 
who know any thing of 'se praQice of par- 
liament, mutt know thac it is a conftanc rule 
not to admit any petition, however humbly 
conceived, againft any bill in deliberation for 
levying money, while this privilege 1s al- 
lowed upon almoft every other occafion. *

* In order to thew in its utmoft extent, and 
unembarraffed by any accidental circumftan- 
ces, the frivoloufnefs of the vulgar notion 
thar the people of England keep the poffef- 
fion of their own purfes, and give their con- 
fent to their own taxation by their reprefen- 
tatives; I have fuppofed that every ditcher 
in che country, and every chimncy-fweeper 
in town gives his vore for eleAing members 
of che Houfe of Commons, peeis of the 
realm, and if you plcafe, the king likewife, 
for the {pace of feven years: and have 
fhewn, that with all thefe fuppofitions, they 
would be taxcd without their own confent, 
as much as if they lived under the Great 
Turk. 

The author proceeds to obferve, that a 
very finall part of the inhabitants of Emgland 
are aQually reprefeated, and that the word 
wirtaz’, which has becn introduced to fupply 
the defe®. has wo meaning. Ic was not a 
funds:ental principle of the Englith confti- 

“tution chat every freeholder fhould fit in par- 
liament, erther in perfon, or in the perfon 
of one whom he had concurred in chufing. 
The freeholders fat in parliament as the 

as of the fiate, and when they ceafed to 

_pouerful, they ceafed to be quatified : 

this, fays he, is manifeft from the ftacute of 
the 8th of Hen. VI. for reftraining the num- 
ber of voters to frecho ders that poffeffed 
4%s. ayear, This att was wifcly intended 
to give a ftabiity wo the conftitution, which, 
by 2 conftape incresfe of its cunftituents, 
was gradually changing ; but unhappily, by 
foppoting a flabilicy in the value of money, it 
produced an effec the very contrary of what 
was iotended ; a picce of tand which was 
then worth sos. would now be worth 2ol. 
fo that there may now he ten legal voters 
fora knight of tic fhire, for one in the ume 
cf Hen. VI. but though chey are legal vo- 
ters by the lecter of th.: law, they are nor fo 
by che fpiric of the ancient conftitution, which 
plainly intended to lop off nine out of ten of 
them, and ccnfequently no argument can be 
drawn from their prefeat maltij:licity, for 
the acceifity of all freholders being repre- 
fented. 

But it is faid that all the lands of England, 
being divided amongft the frecholders, they 
become by that means the viriual reprefen- 
tarives of all thofe who live upon thefe lands ; 
and by that u:rtwal re;refersation, have a 
right of giving laws to the whole, and to 
which the whole, by a fort of tacit or virtual 
ecmpad, give their confent. 

If this is a principle of government, fays 
the author, ic will be true in every applica- 
tion of if. 

‘The fiecholders, as ordered to be fum- 
moned to pirliamenc by King ‘f.An’s Magna 
Charta, were, it feems, the uv riual rtp: cfenta- 
fives of every man in the kingdom, whether 





thofe piutions were not admitted as againit 
the taxes thia fetes, but only as againtt che 
secde of collecting them. 


39 
their number was great or fmall, They 
were pofibly at that Ume two or three thou- 
fand. Suppofe they had been only feven 
hundred, as in the 2oth year of the Conque- 
ror, or fuppofe them feventy, or only feven, 
then thefe fu ven muft be acknowled:ed tu be 
the virtual r prefentatives of the whole. But 
let us come tc the matter at once, and fup- 
pofe all the lands held by one freehcider ; 
as is adtually the cafe in Turkey. ‘Then &® 
the Grand Signor virtu.t veprejemtutive of all 
the people of Turkey, their univerfal knighe 
of the thire, and, in a modt parliamentaty 
manner, levies what taxes he pleafcs upon 
them, dy their own confent. 

The author having thus endeavoured to 
fhow that the notion of people confenting to 
their own taxation is contrary to the nature of 
goverament, and uafuppo tid by any fact ; chat 
the nation of the legiflative power aéting by 
virtue of reprefentation, is "2 principe in the 
Brivifi: conf:zution, ard that the words vir rual 
veprefextation either have no meaning at all, 
or mean much more than thofe who vfe tha.n 
would be willing to admit, proceeds to ccn- 
fider the claim of the Americans as fourxtest 
upon their charters. When thcy are fhewn,, 
fays he, chat thefe charters are no other thaa 
what are given (9 every common corporation 
and trading company, then they ceafe to be 
charters, and become, all at once, comrals : 
they pretend to have taken fhelter in a Gif- 
tant country from the tyranny of prerogative, 
yet they made what they n. w call their com- 
pa&s witha James or a Charles : lew mu& 
the fhades of Sidney ard Lock exclaim to 
hear Englifhmen who pretend wo read and 
admire their writings, confefs that they had 
entered into a compat¢t, or, as thefe patriots 
would callit, a confpiracy with a king to ch- 
tain a difpenfacion from the laws of the land, 
and the authority of parliament ! The whole 
fovereign power could not enter into any in- 
defeazable compact of that foit ; waving rea- 
foning, however, he has recourfe to f1&. 
There never was, he fays, a more folenia 
compact than that which was made Ly che 
union of England and Scotland ; in this 
compad, there was an article that gave the 


. Britith parliament as abfolute an authority 


in the affairs of the united kingdoms, as the 
feveral parliaments had in thofe kingdoms 
when feparate. To this uncontroulabt: 
power was intrufted the guardiantiip of the 
ather articles, and the fole right of explain- 
ing their meaning. 
In the year 1925, an a@ paffed in the Bri- 
tith parliament for extending the malt tax to 
Scouand, where a malt-tax was as new, as 2 
itamp-tax was three years ago in America. 
This innovation had been objected to on a 
former occation by many of the Scotch, who 
declared ica breach of the article of the U- 
niof. Ic was anfwered, that the tax pro- 
pofed was within the fpirit of thofe articles, 
and whether it was or not could only be de- 
termined by the majority of both houfes,

2. Zingis a Tragedy, as it is perform- 
ed at the Theatre Repel i in Drury Lane, 
by Alexander Do 

To this piece the author has prcfixed the 
following advertifement, 

‘To thofe who are not converfunt in th: 
hiflory of the Afiatic nations, it may tot by 
improper to give in brief, the Rory up: a 
which the uagedy of Zingis is founded, as 
ic is taken from the Tarich Moguliftan, or 

ftory of the Mogul Tartar, written in the 
+ Perfian language. 

In the twelfth century, moft of she Tas- 
_ ur Ordas, or tribes, though governed by 
«their own chiefs, paid cribute w the king of 
the Orda of the Keraits, who held his court 
: under the title of the Grand Chan, in the 
city of Caracorum, well kaown fince by 
the name of Ordabalich, The famous 
Zingis Chan, who afterwards conquered all 
the c.untries from the fea of Canton .in 
China to the Nile, was prince of the Niron 
wibe of Taxcars ; and from bis early youth 
ferved in the armies of Aunac, the grand 
Chan ; and at lat rofe to che command of 
all bis farces. Zemouea, chief of the Sio- 
garaces, fapplaated Zingis iq Auoac’s favor.

battle, totally routed by Zingis ; Zengon 
the prince royal was Rain, and the only 
dsughter of Auntc, Ovifa Lugin, fell into 
the conqueror’s hands. Zingis having de- 
termined to give Ovifa in marriage to his 
favourite fon O@ar, who afterwards fuceeed- 
ed him In the empire of all Afia, occagon- 
edan inftrreQion under Timur, another of 
bis fons, who was in fove with the princefs. 
Timur fel in his rebellion, Ovifa died of 
grief, and the unfortunate monarch, Aunuc, 
was killed fn his filght, from an aGion, In 
which he was defeated by a part of the army 
of Zingis. . 

Zingts Chan, whethcr we regard! ‘"2s 2 
conqueror ‘or legiflator, was, perhaps, ihe 
freateft prince, that ever appeared in hif- 
tary. He not only fecured the emoire of 
all Afia to his poftericy for fome ares, but 
even to this day, two thirds of that immenfe 
coutinent remains in the poffe(fion of princes 
of the blood, So fortunate was he in his 
children and defeendants, that many of them 


. did nor yield tn abilities to him ; and they 


wou'd, perhaps, have equalled him in fame, 
had his fword Jeft them more to conquer.— 
The Emperor of China, the Morul of India, 
the great Chan of Tartary, and the princes of 
the Krim Tartars, derive their tioned from 
Zingis , and it is remarkable, chatat one pe- 
rind, there were five hundred crowned heads 
of his race in Afia. 

Inthe Prologue, which the reader will find 
among the poetry of laft month, we are 
tcld, that the author does not “ offer 
manners and men from the ftore of fancy,” 
having lived among the people he defcribes. 
This would certainly have given hi: piece 
mciit and p:.wer, if it had been exhibired be- 
fore an audience who had lived among them 
too ; hut the manners of fancy have as good 
an efe@ as the manners of life, upon thofe 
whe are wholly unacquainted with the origi- 
pals fiom which they were drawn, 

The dramatic chara@ers and ffory are as 
follow: 

ZINGITS, Emperor of Tartary, 

TIMUR, his fon. 

SIP ASCO, his general, 

NEVIAN, his minifer. 

AUNAC, the dethroned Emperor, 

OVISA, his daughter, 

ZEMOUCA, his general, 

TENA” and Tartarian Princes. 

MILA, wife to CUBLA, 

ACT I. 

In a dialogue between Cub!a and Nevian 
i: appears, chat Zingis lod been fupplanted 
by Zemouca ; that he had armed his tiibe a- 
Fainft Aunac, and has juft defeated him in a 
decifive a@ion, in which Zangon, the fon of 
Aunac, and brother of Ovifa was flain ; it 


appears alin, that the fifter of Cubla, was the | 


wife of Zingis, end the mother of Timur ; 

and therefore Cubla declares he will not aé& 

againg Zingis ; borchat, cunfidering him as a 

ufurper, he will not a@ under his direGion, 
“em Msg. fag. 1°09.) 








Gt 
Zena, in an interview with Cubla, declares 
himfelf fecretly a friend w Aunsc, though 
apparently in the fervice of Zingis, and they 
cnncert together how to affift Zemuuca in a 
bold artemprto retrieve his affairs, by crofing 
ache ard faddenly attacking Ziogis in ihe 
oucsa, the brother co Cubla’s wife Mi- 

ila, engages her to ufe her intere@ with Ovifs 
to prevailon Timurto join againft his father ; 
Timur ‘had taken Aunac prifoner with his 
daughter, but had fet him ar liberty, being 
prevailed upon by her entrcaties and ears, 
and fre in return had given him her heart : 
Aunac had approved the connetzion, and had 
Ppropofed that the marriage fhould take plecc, 
and tha Timur fhould be declared heir of 
‘Tartary, upon condition that Zincis thould 
Jay down his arms : Zincis refufes t:2 offer ; 
and ina ragediives Timur fram his prefence ; 

In the interview between Zemsu-a and Mi- 
la, it appears further, that Zemouca is him- 
felf in love with Ovifa ; be will nor give her 
up, he fays, yet he propofes the fhall rule che 
nations with Timur. 

ZEMOUCA. 

Go to Ovifa ; let her arm the fon 
Of haughty Zingis in her -athe-’s caufe. 

Thus pall the wreft from tyranny the world, 
And rule the nations with the man fhe loves, 

MJLA: 
And does my brocher then refign Ovifa ? 
ZEMOUCA. 

No— Mila—~No,— 

Before Zemouca and Mila part, he gives 
her a dagger, that if her fituation thould be- 
come defperare, fhe may at leat picferve 
herfelf from dithorour. 

ACT Il. 

Mila endeavours tu perfuade Ovifa to arm 
Timur againtt his father, the refutes at firtt 
from principles of virtue and honour, but be: 
ing further urged, and reminded that Zingis 
wi. immediately compel herto merzy Oltar, 
his favourite fon, who is arrivcdf or that pur- 
pofe, the coafenrs. 

In the interview with Timur, her virtue 
and honour again furmount her love and dif- 
trefs ; the only hints at her purpofe, and 
even admonithes him not to comply : he dif- 
covers che horrors of their fituation 3 thar it 
fereeds upon him alone to fave the life of 
Ovifa's father, and to preferve her frcm 2 
rival whom fhe carnot love ; vet he cannot 
refalve to oppofe lis father. While he is in 
this Rate of anguih and uncerraicty, Cuble 
urges him to join the confpiracy from oxher 
motives. 

Thou beareft (fays ne) with tamen.:f3 

This weight of intany 'y Zivpis duuwn 
Upon thee in his wrath— 

He who, without remorfe, bas trod on ki Bia 
Has broge all facved cies that bind mankt. 

While Timur continues w:.vering, woid is 
brouyk: him, that he is pardoned by bis f- 
the" a4 seffored co his command : ‘! Zi1- 
** gis, days the meferacr, fends vee Gach,

“* final blow to exiled Aunac.” 

He is thas broughe intonew difficulttes,and 
inflead of receiving his pardon with pleafure, 
hefirates to. fulfil the condition. ’ 

In this crifis Ovifa again joins him, and the 
following, fcene is full of poetry and diftrefs.

ACT V. 
Timur meets the confpirators, and ap; 


polms the commanders to their pofts ; the 
fignal for thelr onfet is the chird of the 
watch from the camp of Zingis, 


In this interval, Ovifa, who had been 
forced from Timur by the order of Zingls, 
ia order to be conveyed to the camp of Oc- 
tar, but had been refcued by Cubla, has ano- 
ther interview wih the prince ; the ftill ex- 
preffes a tender regret at having engaged him 
againit his father, he fooths her, and con- 
juces her to wait the event ; during this 
fcene the firft fignal founds, then the fecond, 
then the laft, which abruptly puts an end ¢9 
it, and Timur leaves her to join his afluciates 
in the attack. 

Ovifa is joined by Mila, and feeing the 
dagges in her bofom which had bcen given 
her by her brother Zemouca, the fnatches it, 
declaring that ** her fuperior woes, her rank 
commands priority in death.” 

They are alarmed by che noife of the 
a€tion ; Ovifa is thrown intu an agony of 
diftrefs by the danger of Timur,and declares 
the will not long furvive him. 

The forces of Zingis are thrown into con- 
fufion by the confpirators ; and while they 
are exulting inthe confidence of vidory, they 
Geclare Timur king ; Zemouca comes in 
oppofes ir, declaring, that the crown fhall be 
placed upon Ovifa: Timur and Zemouca 
fight, both are mortally wounded. The con: 
federates are immediately afterwards re- 
prefiled, and the evenc of the ation cotally 
changed by the prefence of Zingis. Ovifa 
enters as Timur Js dying, and dtabs herfelf 
upon his body. 

Thus is Zingis, a capricious'and bloody 
tyrant, without virtue, or the fhadow of vir- 
tue, who while he talks of eftablithing laws 
for others, tramples every obligation under 
foot, fucecfsful and triumphant ; and thus in 
Timur and Ovifa virtue fuffers almoft with- 
out indifcretion. Such events naturally leave 
the mind difpleafed and diffazisfied ; pity cas 
wait, but indignation is impatient to be fa- 
tisfied, and inexorable in difappointment, 
Probably nothing more would have been nz- 
ceflary to have procured this piece a favour- 
able reception upon the ftage, than an alte- 
ration of the cataftrophy. With fuch a ca- 
taftrophe ithas been found impoffible to fup- 
port even the fcenes of shakefpeare, and it

Mila, who is in the cmp of the Eluths with 
Cubla, Zemoucs, who is the genéral of Aue 
nac, and whofe troops are pofted otr the op 
pofte fide of a river, all get together with 
the greateft facilicy ; Timur is at large after 
having been feized by the order of Zingis, 
and Ovifa is refcued from-his officers, who 
were carrying her to Oar, without his know- 
ing any thing of the matter. Thefe howe 
éver, fuppofing them admit:ed, and s hun 
dred other defe€ts of the fame kind, from 
which perhaps no dramatic performance is 
wholly free, would have fignifed nothing 
with refpe@ co the fuccefs of the piece in 
reprefenration, if its peneral effee&t upon the 
paffions had been forcible and pleafing. 

Ic is full of fentiment, and full of poetry, 
{pecimens of which might be given fromeve-

juft in the following paflage.

Perhaps the following foliloquy of O.1fa, 
as the is contemplating the death of her bro- 
ther, is fcarcely to be paralleiled bu: in 
Shakefpeare. 

“© Ife'er the {piric or a wartiour flain,

The following cxclamation of Ovifa, on 
hearing that her (ather had been overtaken ie 
his flight and put to death, is very poetical 
and tenver.

3. An Effay on the Medical Virtues of 
Acids: by Samuel Farr, M. D. 


Acids, though not 4 fpecific, are very ac- 
tlve, and ve'y powerfull; they are of. three 
kinds, the fuilil, the vegetable, and the ant- 
mal; of the foffil acids chat of vitriol is the 
chief, the others are acids of nitre, and of 
fea falt, The author ftys, that acid of vi- 
triol is extrafied not only from thé faline. 
fubftance, confifting of thie acid and a me- 
tal, called vfsrio/, but from fulphur, and 
from carth and watets and that ic refides in 
air, in the electrical fluid, in the falts pro- 
duced by v:getab/.s, antl in the phofphorus 
that 1s made from azimel juices. The avid 
of axre is icfs powerful than chat of vitriol, 
yet has fome qualities which che acid of vi- 
tiiol has not, particularty it will excke in- 
flanmiati n in bodies ptedifpofed to be in- 
flamed ; yet the author thinks, that if the 
acid of vitriol, could be ds tertainly made 
volatile as the acid of nicte, it would pro- 
duce even this effe@ in an equal, if not 

reater degree. The acid of fea fale is 
ometimes prodticed from fabftances purely 
foffile, and fometimes from the relicks of 
vegetables and animals ; this acid incorpo- 
rates with fewer fubftances thgh the acid of 
nkre, 

The vegetable acids are fuch ds ate ob- 
tained frem vegetabie fubRances in a recent 
ftate, either merely by exprefling the juice, 
or by fe:mentation ; {as lemon juice, and 
vinegar. 

The animal acids are litte known and 
little needed. 

Acids a& upon the himan boily by con- 
tratting the fibres, and coagulating the fluids 5 
they alfo powerfully coubtera@ the effeé of 
all principles that preduce putrifaétion. 
Acids are very good to ftimulate the organs 
ef the mouth and throat that fecrete the fa- 
liva, but are hurtful to the teeth : received 
into the ftoma:h they produce perfpirarion, 
and affist dizeition ; this suthor chinks they

fully to aff.vaze heat, and diminith the mo- 
tion of the flutds in inflammiaiory fevers !

ther the foil than vegetable acids to the 
fhops in the preparation of pxymels, Even 


.in diarrhea«, acids may be advautagcoully 


alminiftered, as they ently are caufed 
by putrifa&ion, by a colle@ion of fordid 
matter, generated in the ftomach from un- 
wholfome food, too great ity of it, or

ftrd-tiom that has’ a fluggith and inaétive 
caufe, They thould be avoided in the rheu- 
matifm ahd gout; but are of grear efficacy 
th flopping bleedings from whatever caufe. 

Such is the fubftance of this work, which 
is inaccurate, obfcure, and diffufe jn the 
higheft degree. The author has buried his 
Meaning ander words, or frretrievably loft 
ie in cireumfocution; tnftead of explain. 
ing what was obfcure, he bas obfeured what 
was plains and his manner of treating his 
fubdje&, may well pot the reader in mind of 
the complicated machine w draw a cork out 
of a bottle, which our inimitable Hogartii 
has exhibited in one of his prints. 

That the fille of chis author is obfcare and 
verbote, will appear from the following ex- 

“< Acids are a€live and powerful, 20d the 

t predife feems inclined to advance 
their merit, and brmg them more generally

With lively bloom, and {prightly vigour glow.

The modeft heauties ef the virgin's face; 
Incrinfic particles of red compofe 
The fanguine clove, and aromatic rofe : 

The ruby Hip invites to balmy love, 

And fpoctive Nereids haunt the coral grove. 
Couch’'d in red locks delighted Cupids lie ; 
Thence their keen darts and pointed arrows fly, 
Such was the golden fleece which Jafon bore 
In joyful triumph from the Colchian fhore.

Whe French aucbor wrote the four lines as a 
{pecimen of the fluency and copioufnefs of

as fuch to an Englifh gentleman, (one who has 
wrote, But T forget his name) he tranflated them 
into Englith, and further added eight more lines 
on the faine fubje@, thewing thereby chat the 
Englith was nothing inferior to the French lan- 
guage, but rather afforded greater variety of 
expreffion.

Dec. 29. 

This morning, about cight, a violent 
thock of an earthquake was felt at Byton 
in Herefordthire. {t began with a ra 
ling noife, which feemed to iffue from the 
end of Shobdon’s-hill. The noife was 
foon facceeded by the fhock. The river 
Lug, altho’ very rapid, rofe feveral inches, 
but fenk again almoft inftantaneonfly. 
The tower of the church, which was very 
much decayed, was fplit in many places, 
and the turf, which covered a cot upon the 
fide of Shobdon's. hill, called the Cabbin, 
dropped in, and very nearly {mothered a 
child in the cradle. It is impoffible to 
defcribe the farprize and hotror that ap- 
peared in every countenance. Men and 
women, with their children, ran towards 
the church, a8 toa place of fafety, but they 
were prevented ente:.ng by the very rui- 
nous condition of the tower. The thock 
feemed to move from Eaft to Weft. Hap- 
pily no lives have been loft. A la:ge rent, 
at the time of the thock, opened at Shob- 
don’s-hill, out of which a confiderable 
guantiry of water now iffues ; but, at the 
ame time, there are appearances of both 
eoal and iron that will more than compen- 
fate the damage dove, There are many 
other odd accidents attending this phzno- 
mcnon, °

when eight convis received ‘fentenee of 
death ; viz. Rob. Davis, James Cooper, 
and Charles Wilkes, for burglaries ; John 
Cafey for returning from tranfportation 3 
Jafper Webb, Edw. Williams, and John 

rye, for robberies on the hizhway ; and 
Edward Quirk, and Lawrence Balf, for 
having been prefent, aiding and abetting 
in the wilful murder of George Clark, 
clerk to an attorney, at the late eleGion at 
Brentford, where, in the riot and tumult, 
he received a blow. on his head with a 
bludgeon, of which he died in a few days. 
Their trials lafted 14 hours. The council 
for the profecution were Mr Serj, Leigh, 
Mr Impey, and another ; for the ‘prifo- 
ners, Mr, Serjeant Davey, Mr Serjeant 
Builand, Mr Lucas, Mr Walker, and 
Mc Murphy. On the trial, it 
appeared, that the prifoners weie hired, 
with others, previous to the day of elec- 
tion, for the purpofe of keeping the peace, 
and affifting Sir W. B. P.’s friends in the 
courte of the poll; that for fometime the 
poll went on with the greateft regularity, 
and without the leaft interruption; that 
ali at once, the prifoners, with others, be- 
gan ina moft outrageous manner to ftrike 
and knock down indifcriminately all who 
came iu their way ; and that the deceas’d 
was one of the unhappy perfons who was 
thos violently stiacked. : 

There were many evidences in Balf’s 
favour, it appecrng that he was rather 
drawn in than a principal, his council con- 
Gdered it unneceffary to examine a num- 
ber of creduable houfekeepers, who were 
ready to be produced to his chara@ter, The 
judge was very humane in his charge rela- 
tive to him ; and it feemed to be a difap- 
pointment to fome in court, when the 
verdict was pronounced, borb Guilty. 

Arter the trial, it was moved by the pri- 
foners council, that there was a flaw in the 
indi&ment, by the Grand Jury's erafement 
of the words aiding and afifing, and begged 
thac it might be debated previous to the 
court’s paffing fentence, which was 
granted ; and on Monday morning, about 

1 o'clock, it came on. 

Serjeant Burland opened it by making 
feveral ingenious and critical obfervations 
on the nature of what might appear to be 
erafements, but weie not in fa& fo; in 
particular that of a perfon’s figning his 
name, and very often draw a line acrofs 
it, which tho’ it might look like an erafe- 
ment, was no more than what was -very 
ufual, and did by ao means invalidate the 
fienature. Mr Murphy and Mr Walker 
made ufe of Gmilar arguments. Serjeant 
Leigh, on the other fide, remarked, that 
thefe arguments were rather ingenious, 
than fubfant‘al, and concluded by obferv- 
ing, that its being returned Billa Vera, was 
fully fufficient, that the erafement muft be 
looked upon as intended. Thearguments 
on both fides continued for near four 





hours, when Mr Juftice Afton and the Re- 
corder gave their opinious to the following 
purport : Jadge Afton humanely obferved, 
that in a cafe where the lives of two per- 
fons were concerned, he would not pre- 
tend at once to determine without the 
cleareft conviétion. He faid he had there- 
fore previoufly weighed all the circum- 
ftances very minutely relative to this af- 
fair, and had the pleafare of having his 
Opinion corroborated by Lord Chief Baron 
Parker, Juftice Gould, and Mr Recorder ; 
he was therefore clear, he faid, in the in- 
di€tment being valid : he further corrobo- 
rated his opinion by feveral precedents of 
a fimilar nature, and concluded with an 
obfervation of that great lawyer Hale, 
‘s That the picking ovt flaws in indi&- 
ments, whereby juftice was evaded, was a 
fcandal to the law, a degradation of juf- 
tice, and a difhonour to God.”’ 

Mr. Recorder then proceeded to pafs 
fertence, previous to which he hoped that 
the fate of thefe two unhappy perfons 
would be a warning to all rioters ; as no- 
thing (he faid): could be more deftructive, 
to the laws of fociety, particularly to elecs 
ticns, the effence of Englith freedom ; and 
that the procurers, (if any there were) 
howfoever dignified, as well as the pro- 
cured, were not exempt, by pur laws, from 
this cataftophe. :

S the late declarations of war in the North 

have rendered the qisnfaétivas . abroad 

more than ufually interefting, a fhort view of 

‘she po.itical ftate of Europe feems neceflary to 
introduce our future accouuts, 

The tumul:uous proceedings in Sweden, and 
ths violent meafures of the fenste that produced 
- & fhort abdication of the crown, have already 

been related, (pag. 22.) ‘Tho’ his Swedith ma- 
_Jefty has fince refumed the government, the 
Grievances of the people ftill remain to be re- 
drefled. ‘They complain of taxes which they 
are unable to pay; of the want of bread which 
have no means of procuring ; of the info 
lence of the officers of the revenue whom they 
cannot appeafe ; and of the oppreffions of the 
military whom they cannot refitt. Grown def- 
perate under chefe pitiabe circumftances, many 
families are prepar.ng to leave their country, 
Ghufiog rather to encounter the hardthips of a 
vo‘umary migration, than fubmit to heavy im- 
pofitions by which they are undone. 

The king, fenfible of the prefervation of his 
peorle, has of himfelf interpofed in their be- 

If; buc the power of a king of Sweden can 
effe@ but littie. He has, however, forbidden 
the corn and cattle of the poor to be feized for 
the caxations of the ftate, and has promifed his 
influence, at the enfuing dyet, to fecond their 
fupplications. 

he kingdom of Denmark affords a ftriking 
contraft to that of Sweden. A feries of wife 
princes have rendered that nation rich and flou- 
withing. The kings of Denmark are poffeffed 
of all power; the kings of Sweden of a {mall 
proportion. - The fubje@s of Sweden groaning 
under the oppreffions of Senatorial Tyrants, 
are for ever murmuring ; the fubje@s of Den- 
mark, enjoying the fruits of a mild adminiftra- 
tion, are happy in thelr fubmiffion to the beft 
Of fovercigns, ‘The Danes are employed in culti- 
vating the arts of peace ; the Swedes feem equal- 
by indifferent about improvements in peace or war. 
In thort, Denmark is _ngw one of the happieft 
nations {n Europe, and Sweden the moft mifer- 
able, a few trading towns enly excepted. 

Her imperial majefty of Ruffia, like the king 
of Denmark, is high in the eftimation of her 
fabje&s, and refpeGable among the neighbour- 
ing powers. Defcended from the great Peter, 
fhe inherits his virtues. Her talents for legif- 
Jauion, are fufficiently difplayed, in the outlines 
of that code of laws, which fhe has juft caufed 
to be publithed, for the goyernment of her peo- 
ple. See vol xxxviii. p! 574.) Her zeal for 
religion is manifelt, in che part fhe has taken 
to fupport the juft rights of the Dididents, a 
mame fynonimous to that of Proteftants, in Po- 
land. That oppreffed people have long been 
deprived, by the cyranny of the Polith clergy,

A fair opportunity prefered itfelf, at the elec 
tion of a new king, for her imperial majefty to 
redrefs their grievances. By her influence st 
the dyet of the ftates, their claims were recog 
niged and confirmed, and the ecclefiaftical efta- 
blifhment of the kingdom fettled upon the prin- 
ciples of equality and juftice. The Popith 
clergy, enraged at the diminution of their pow- 
er, fecretly began to foment diftwhances ; con- 
{piracy after confpirecy enfued, and, at length, 
an open coniederacy was formed and avowed, 
to annul the decrees of the diet, and to main- 
tain the power of oppreffion by open forces 
Whole towns, in poffeffion of the diffidents, 


- were plundered, fet on fire and confumed, the 


inhabitants maffacred, and their eftates laid 
wafte and deftroyed. The few Troops which 
her Czerith majefty had fent into Poland, for 
the prefervation of order, unable to -efift the 
turrent that every where poured forth upon 
them, befought their fovereign for frefh fup- 
plies. The numbers chat were fent in confe- 
quence of this requifitiun, excited the jealoufy 
of the Turks. The Ruffian ambaffador, on 
pretence of concealing the hnftile intentions of 
his court, was infulted and imprifoped. ‘Re- 
monftrances and appeals were alike ineffetual 
for his releafe. While his Britannic majefty’s 
refident endeavoured openly to appeafe, the 
French ambaflador laboured fecretly to increafe 
the Storm. in the end, declarations of war 
were reciprocally publithed, and formidable 
preparations are now making, on both fides, to 
commence hoftilities. 

The affairs of Poland are fo involved with 
thofe of Ruffia, thas it is nat eafy to mark the 
diftin@ion, The prefent king, raifed from the 
rank of a private gentleman co the fupreme dig- 
nity, owes his exalcation to the powerful inters 
pofition of her Czarifh majefty. Though born 
and educated in the Romith religion, the ucs 
of gratitude, and che di@ates of humanity, in- 
cline him, amidft the confufions of his country, 
to govern with juftice and moderation. Bue 
juftice and moderation are not the talents to 
fupprefs the fury of a religious war. The vir- 
tues which, in other circumitances, would en- 
dear a-prince to the hearts of his people, only 
ferve, inthe critical fituation of his Polith ma- 
jefty, to expofe him to the alternate jealoufy of 
contending parties. While he endeavours (o 
maintain the balance equally, he lofes confe- 
quence. And while the blood of his fubjeéts is 
deloging his country, hé has the mortification to 
behold the malady, without being able to clofe 
the wound. The recital of the deplorable 
Rate of this country, would only be q repetition 
of the moft horrible fcenes of cruesty and car- 
nage. What the event may be fhall be fhews 
hercafter.

di Definition of the fama: Covran- 
Mims, belonging 'to bis Grace the 
Dake.of Devonhire, at E&on-Hill, 
tu th Chunty of Safford. 


SeagCTON-HILL, 
i) that 
whic! 
is fruated, is of 
i) + 
its perpendicular 
height, next the 
m River Dove, 
@} which runs clofe 
= by, is about 700 
Set 5. its diameter from the fame, quite 
through, about half a mile; the upper 
‘or mould, is about -fifteen in- 
ches thick, and produces exceeding fine 
, for , and other cattle, 
~ who conftantly graze on the top an 
fides; and whert the declivity will per- 
mit the plough, very fine wheat, barley, 
and cats are produced in great plenty. 
* ‘Phis Copper-Mine was difcovered a- 
bout thisry years ago, by a Cornith 
Miner, who in ing over the Hill, 
accideneally picked up a bit of Ore, an- 
wezed to fome fine Spar, which that 
Metal ufually adheres to. On viewing 











the fituation, and confdering the great 
height of the Hill, he concluded that 
aft quantities of C: -Ore might be 


fc theres and if that fhould be the 
cafe, no place could be more convenient 
for working it + and therefore he com- 
mmunicated his fentiments and difcoveries 
to fome adventurers at Athburn, who 
epproving the projet, applied to the 
them Dake of Beronthire (grandfather 
fo his prefent grace) fora weak to fearch 
for er on that Hill, Itappears 
the authentic accounts, pity nel 
than 13,0001. were expended, before 
‘fly returns were made, and feveral of 
the original adventurers de(pairing ef 
fuaceele fold out their fbares at a con- 
je Jols. But the fecond advens 
eusers were more fortunate. After ink- 
4a «Ghali of about s00 yards deep, 


and driving in an Adit, immeafe quan 
tities of Copper Ore were found, which 
continued to incieale, the lower they 
defcended, till the termination of. the 
leafe, by which very confderable for- 
tunes were acquired. 

About fix months befere the deceafe 
of the late Duke, (father to his prefent 
Grace) the leafe expired, and the whole 
uadertaking fell-into his Grace's hands, 
and has ever fince continued working 


to great advantage. 

Fo take a vitw of thie Rupendous 
Copper-Mine, you mult enter at an. 
Adit at the bafe of the hill by the river 
nd proceed about 460 yards, 
moft in a dire& line, At your en- 
trance, for about fixty yards, ‘tis four 
feet and a half high, walled up on each 
fide with ftone mafonry ; but af- 
terwards it varies in its height, and rifes 
in fome places to fix feet. When you 
arrive at the eenter, there is a {pacious 
lod; it of timber, for landing and. 
receiving the Ure from below, which is 
drawn up by a man at a winch, whe 

nerally works naked, and is put into 
Four-wheel wr ygons that will holdabout . 
aton anda balf each, Thefe wagons 
have cift brafs wheels, and are run in 
grooves thro’ the Adit, by boys from 12 
to 14 years of age, with great facility. 

‘When. on the Jodgment, you behold 
a large hollow over your head, at leat * 
250 yards high, by the fides of which 
there is a paflage to the fummit, but 
dangerous to attempt, as the timbers 
works fees in adecayed ftate. a 

‘Thus far into the Mountain, with 
the sid of lights, “tis eafy enough of 
accefs, The late Duke of Devonthire 
ventured to this platform, took a cur- 
fory view of the works, gave the miners 
ten guineas to drink, but returned im- 
mediately, not choofing to defcend be- 
low. Indeed, fuch a horrid gloom,

Genuine Anecdotes, never before pubs 
lifoed, of the late Prince of Wales, 
Lord Oxford, Dean Parnelle, Mr 
Pope, Mr Festox, Mr Congreve, Mr 
Rowe, Sir Richard Steele, Sir Fobn 
Vanbrugh, Dr Youxg, and Mr Hooke. . 


HE late Queen Caroline declared her 

intention of honouring Mr. Pope with 
a vifit ac CT witenham, His mother was then 
alive; and left the vific thould give her pain, 
on account of the danger his religious prin- 
ciples might incur by an intimacy with the 
cour, his piety made him, with great duty 
anh@ huntility, beg chat he might decline this 
honour. Some years atcer, his mother be: 
ing then dead, the’ Prince of Wales conde- 
faended to do him the honour of a vific $ 
When Mr Pope met him at the water- fide, 
he expreffed his fenfe of the honour done 
hin in very proper terms, joined with the 
moft dutiful expreffions of attachment. On 
which the Prince faid ‘“ It is very well; 
but how thali we reconcile your love to a 
Prince, with your profeffed indifpofidion to 
Kings: fince Princes will be Kings in time ?” 
‘< Sir, replied Pope, I confider royalty un- 
der that noble and authorifed type of the 
Lion? while he is young and Eefore his 
nails are grown, he may be approached, and 
careffed with fafety and pleafore.’ 

Lord Oxford, as a minifter, was negligenc, 
if we may believe what lord Botingbreke 
ufcd to fay to his friends. He added like- 
wife, that Oxford was, in converfation, 
puzzied and embarrafled; and, upon the 
whole, unequal to his ftation. It was his 
wont, cvery day almoft, to fend idle verfes 
from court to the Scribd erus club, which con- 
fifted of Swift, Arbuthnot, Parnelie, Pope, 
ard fometimes Gay. He was likewife uled 
to freqaenc the club every night almoft, aod 
would talk idly, even on the crifis of the 
moft important concerns. 

Envy icfelf, however, muft allow that 
this nobleman difplayed a moft manly fore 
titude during che courfe of his adverfity. 

When Parnelle had been introduced by 
Swift co ford trea{urer Oxford, and had been 
eftablithed in his favour by the affifiance of . 
Pope, he foon began to entertain ambitious . 
views, The walk he chofe to thine in was 
pops'ar preaching: he had talents for it, and 
began to be diftinguifhed in the mob- places 
of Southwark and London, when the Queen’s 
fudden death deftroyed all his profpe&s, and 
at a jun&ure when famed preaching was the 
readieft road to preferment, This fatal 
ftroke broke his {pirits ; he cook to drinke 
ing, became a& fot, and foon finifhed his 
courfe. — 

His friend, Fenton, had the like ill hap.— 
Mr Popc had a greac intimacy with Craggs 
the Younger, when the latter was minifter 
of ftace. Craggs had received a bad ard 
megle@ed educatiom He had great parts :

Mr Hoak feems to have poffefed no {mal}

His {quicitude to do him fervice, is ftrongly 
exemplified in the following anecdote, 

‘ The firft Duchefs of Marlborough wag

Defeription of a Pair of Horns, of an 
extraordinary fize and Jbape, by the 


late Sir Hans Sloane, Bart. Prefi- . 


dent of the Reyal Soctet;. 
IR Hans fays, that many years ago, 
Mr Doily, a perfon of great curio- 
fity, and the inventor of a {tuff diftin- 
guished by his name, met with thefe 
Horns in a cellar, or workhoufe, in 
Wopping, where they had lain fo long, 
as to be much damaged and worm- 
eaten in many parts of their furface. 
Mr Doily purchafed them, but could 
get no information from whence they 
came, nor when they were brought 
thither. In feveral particulars they 
oic a refemblance of Goats horns, 
which made many conclude them to be 
of an animal of that fpecies, though 
as much differing from the common 
Goat in fize, as the Moofe-dcer from 
the crdinary one. The Royal Society 
having been informed of this mattr, 
Mr Hunt, their operator, took a draw- 
ing of them, and Mr Hooke read a 
paper upon it, at one of the Society's 
ectings, who apprehended them to be 


~ the Lorns of the Sutcotyro, az the Chi- 


nefe call it, or Sucofario, a very large 
dealt, and of a very finzular figure. 

Nieuvhoff mentions {uch a one, in his 
‘Travels to Eait India, and gives the 
following defciiption of it. 

¢ It is, fays he, as big as a large ox; 
¢ its nofe fomewhat like that-of a hog, 
* with long rough ears, and a thick 
* brufliy tail; the eyes ftand perpen- 
€ dicular in the head, quite different 
! from their pofition in any other qua- 
‘ drupde; from cither fide of the head, 
4 and very near the eyes, grows out a 
© long horn, or-rather a uk, not quite 
¢ fo thick as that of the elephant. The 
* creature feeds on grafs, and it is very 
¢ feldom that it can be taken,’ 


Defeription of the Horns of an unknown Animal. 


Many went to fee thefe horns at Mr 
Doily’s, but he would not part with 
them for any money; however, fome 
time after, upon Sir Hans’s attending 
him under tome diforder, Mr Doily 
made him a prefent of them. 

They are pretty ftretght to a conh- 
derablie diftance from the bafe, and then. 
incurvating, they at laft terminate in- 
fenfibly in a point. They are not quite: 
round, but a little flat, with crofs un- 
dulated channels or furrows. They 
are not both exactly of the fame fize : 
Sir Hans, upon meafuring one of them, 
(Fig. I.) along its out-tide, from the 
point A of its bale A B, to its point D, 
found the length A C D fix fect fix in- 
ches and a half; and from B to D, 
meafuring on a ftreight line, four feet 
five inches and one-fixth. The dia- 
meter of the bafe A B, was fix inches 
and three quarters; the circumference 
17 inches. It weighed 21lb. 100z, 
and held five quarts of water in its hol- 
low. In the other, (Fig. II.) the cur- 
vature A C D was fix feet four inches, 
the line BD 4 feet 7 inches, the di- 
ameter of the Lafe A B feven inches, 
and its circumference one foot eight 
inches: this weighed 21 Ib. 13 Oz, and 
a half, and held in the hollow no more 
than four quarts and a pint of water; 
though it would- have contained more, 
had it not been much confumed at the 
bafe by worms. 

A. Captain of an Eaft-India-man up- 
on viewing thefe horns, told Sir Hans, 
that he had taken notice of a Jarge fpe- 
cies of Oxen in the Indics, with the 
like horns, And Sir Hans inclined, 
for feveral reafons, to beiicvs them the 
horns of fuch cattle, to be met with in 
Ethiopia, and other inland countries of 
Africa, defcribed by feveral ancient 
writers, which have paflcd unnoticed 
by moft of the moderns; and gives to 
many reafons in fupport of his opinion, 
from fuch a number of citations, as 
would greatly exceed out limits to recite. 

His final conjecture is, that the crea- 
ture to which thefe horns did belong, 
inhabits fome middle part of Africa, 
where very few travellers have yet pe- 
netrated; And that at the time that the 
Englih carried on a great trade at Or- 
mus, they might, with other merchane 
dize, be brought thither, and afterwards 
fent to England by fome curious col- 
le&tor of natural. produétions.

not have altered fo entirely as ith 
done.  Theidea of uniting all parties 
of trying all characters, and of dif 
tributing the offices of itate by rota-

an extreme, though it has not yet pros 
duced the many falytary effects, which 
was intended by it. To fay nothing

Yet there is no extremity of diftrefs,

The attempt might rouze a fpirit of

the facrifice of a min:tter. As tothe

affe&tion to their common e&nntry. 
When Mr Grenville was placed a the 
head of the T af he felt the im- 
poflibility of Great Britain's fupg ort- 
ing fucii an ettablifhment as her for- 
mer fuccefles had made indifpenfible, 
and at the fame time of giving any 
fenfible relicf to foreign trade and to 
the weight af the public debr. He 
thought it equitable that thofe parts 
of the empire, which had benefited 
molt by the fuccefs of the war, fhould 
contribute fomething to the expences 
of the peace, and he had no doubt of 
the conftitutional right vefted in par- 
liament to raife that contribution. 
Bot unfortunately for this country, 
Mr Grenville was at any rate to be 
diltrefled becaufe he was miniiter, and 
Mr P—t and lord C———n were to 
be the patrons of America, becaufe 
they were in oppofition. Their de- 
Clarations gave {pirit and argument 
tothe colonies, and while perhaps they 
meant no more than the ruin of a mi- 
miter, they in effect divided one half 
of the empire from the other. 

Under one adminiftration the ftamp 
act is made, under the fecond it is re- 
pealed, under the third, in (pite of all 
experience, a new mode of taxing the 
Colonies is invented, and a quettion re- 
vived which ought to lfave been buried 
in oblivion. In thefe circumftances a 
new ofiice is eftablifhed for the bulinefs 
of the p'antations, and the Earl of 
H h called forth, at a moft cri- 
tical fealon, to govern America. The 
choice at leaft announced to us a man 
of fuperior capacity and knowledge, 
Whether he be fo or not, let his dif- 
patches as far as they have appeared, 
let his meafures as far as they have 
operated, determine. In the former 
we have feen {trong affertions without 
proof, declamation without argument; 
and vioient cenfures without dignit 
or moderation; but neither correctnels 
11 the compofition, nor judgment in 
the defign. As for his meafures, let 
it be remembered that he was called 
upon to conciliate and unite; and that 
when he entered into office, the moft 
refratory of the colonies were {till 
difpofed to proceed by the conftitu- 
tional methods of petition and re- 
monitrance. Since that period they 
have been driven into exceffes little . 
fhort of rebellion. Petitions have 
been hindered from reaching the 
throne; and the continuance of one 
of the principal affemblies put upon 
an arbitrary condition, which, confi- 
dering the temper they were in, it was 
impollible they thould comply with,

A Review of the prefent Adminiftraticn.

I believe I may call it fo unconititutio- 
nal an exertion of the prerogative, to 
Yay nothing of the weak, injudicious 
terms in which it was couveyed, gives 
Us as humble an opinion ot his orc f{hip's 
capacity, as it does of his teniper and 
fnoderaticn. While we are at peace 
With other nations, our military force 
may perhaps be {pared to fuppert the

rica, Whenever that force fall he

neither confole ws for his inprudence,

Of the legiflature, are ontraged by an 
unwarrantabie firetch of prercgative, 
and, fupporting their claims by argu- 
ment, are infulted with deciamation. 
Drawing lots would be a prucent 
and reafonable method of appointing 
the officers of flate, compared to a late 
difpofition of the fecretary’s office. 
Lord R—h—d was acquainted with 
the affairs and temper of the fouthern 
courts; Lord W——h was equally 
qualified for either department. By 
what wnaccountahle caprice has it 
happened, that the latter, who pretends 
to no experience whatfoever, is re- 
removed to the moft important of the 
‘two departments, and the former by 








reference placed in an office, where- 


is experience can be of no ufe to him? 
Lord W h ‘had dittinguithed 
himfelf in his fii ft employment by a 
‘Spirited, if not judicious, condué. He 
had aniharel the civil magittiate he- 

ond the'tone of civil authority, an 
fad dire&ted the operations of the 
army to more than military execution. 
Recovered from the errors of his youth, 
from the diftraction of play, and the 
bewitching {miles of Burgundy, be- 
hold him exerting the whole ftrenpth 
of his clear, unclouded faculties in thre 
fervice of the crown. It was not the 
heat of midnight exceffes, nor igno- 
rance of the Jaws, nor the furious fpi- 
rit of the troufe of B——d: No, Sir, 
when this refpe&table minifter interpo- 
fed his authority between the magif- 
trate and the people, and figned the 
mandate, on which, for ought he 
knew, the lives of thoufands depend- 
ed, he did it from the deliberate mo- 
tion of his heart, fuppcrted by the bef 
‘of his judgment. 

It has lately been a fathion to pay ‘a 
compliment to the bravery and gene- 
volity of the C—nd—r in Ch—f, at the 





67 


expente of his underftanding. They 
who love him leaft make no queftion 
of his courage, ubiie his fiends dwell 
chi: fly on the tacility of his difpofiti- 
on. Acmittinz him to be as brave as 
a total ablence of all feeling and te- 
fleftion can make him, let us fee what 
fort of merit he derives trom the re- 
mainder of his charater, It it be 
generofity to accumulate in his cwn 
perfon and family a number ef lucra- 
tive employments; to provide, at the 
public expence, forevery creature that 
bears the name uf M——rs; and neg- 
Ieéting the merit and fervices of the 
reit of the army to heap promotions 
upon his favourites and dependant:, 
tie prefent C—nd—r in Ch—f is the 
mott generous manative. Nature has 
heen [paring of her gitts to this noble 
Ford ; but where birth and fortune are 
united, we expect the nuble pride anit 
independence of a inan of {fpirit, ret 
the feivile, humiliating compliances of 
acourtier. As tothe cocdne!s of his 
heart, if a precfot it be taken froin 
the facility of never refuting, what 
conclufion thall we draw frem the in- 
decency of never performing ? And tf 
the difciplne of the army be inany de. 
gree pieferved, what thanks are due to 
& man, uhote Cares, notopivully contin- 
ed to filling up vacancies, have de- 
praded the office of C-——+ in Ch 
into a broker of commiflions ? 

With refpc& to the navy, I fhall on- 
ly fay, that this country is fo highly 
indebted to Sir Edwaid Hawke, that 
no expence flould be {pared to tecure 
him an honourable and afluent je- 
treat. 

The pure and impartial adminiftra- 
Von of juftice is perhaps the firmett 
bond to fecore a cheartul fubmificn 
of the peopie, and to engage their 
affections to government. It is not 
fufficient that queftions of private right 
and wrong are juftly decided; nor 
that judges are fuperior to the vi'erefs 
cf uniary corruption. —Jefteries 
himfelf, when the court had sio inte- 
reft, was an upright judge. A court 
of juftice may be fubject to another 
fort ot byafs, more important and per- 
nicious, as it reaches beyond the in. 
tereft of individuals, and affeéts the 
whole community. A judge, under 
the influence uf government, may be 
honeft encugh m the decifion of pri- 
vate caules, yet a traitor to the public, 
When a victim is marked out by the 
miniftry, this judge will offer himfelf 
to perform the facrifice. He will not 
fcruple to proftituie his dignity, and 
betray the fandlity of his office, when.

though of the brighteft and moft ar- 
dent kind, is among the loweft of his 
numerous good qualities; he was for- 
med to excel in war by nature's libe- 
rality to his mind as wellas perfon. 
Educated and inftructed by his moft 
noble father, and a mioft fpirited ag 
well as excellent fcholar, the prefent 
bifhop of Bangor, he was trained to 
the niceft fenfe of honour, and tod the 
trueft and nobleft fort of pride, that 
of never doing or fuffering a mean 
action. A fincere love and attach- 
ment to his king and country, and to 
their glory, fir impelled him to thé 
field, where he never gained ought but 
honour; He inipaired, through hié¢ 
bounty, his own fortune; for his 
bounty, which this writer would in 
vain depreciate, is founded upon thé 
nobleft of the human dffections, it 
flows from a heart melting to goodnefé 
from the mof refined humanity. Thé 
diftreffed officer, the foldier, the wi- 
dow, the orphan, and a long lift be: 
des, know that vanity has no fhare 
in his frequerit donations; he gives, 
becaufe he feels their diftreffes, nor 
has lie ever been rapacious with one

is uncandidly infinuated by this de- 
famatory writer, when he fays, that 
the dignity of the conimander has been 
depraved into the office of a broker of 
commiffions, Anh infamous charge e- 
qually deftirute of truth and decency, 
He is next attacked for being unfaith- 
ful to his promifes: Where are the 
proofs? Although I could give fome 
inftances, where a breach of promife 
would be a virtue, efpecially in the 
cafe of thofe who would pervert the

pardon of Lord Gianby, and the

As to the fiate of the army, the re-

end only a few regiments in England,

fume tolerable order. But do you

tefflary : When bufinefs is over, thefe are

this influence is fmall. In peace, 
when difcontent and fadtion have thé

this country, and when, froma rs =

fhe rower and force of obligations, 
its weight is always too great.” 

‘* Junius is turced to allow that out 
army at home may be in fome tolera. 
ble order 5 yet how kindly does he in- 
vite our late enemies to the invafion of 
lveland, by afluring them that the 
army in that kingdom is totally ruin- 
ed! (Tne colonels of that army are 
much obliged to him.) Though the 
military talents of the Jord lieutenant 
and the diligence and capacity of the 
olicers there make this incredible, 
yet, adds Sir William, if from fomé 
flrange unaccountable fatality, the peo- 
p'e of that kingdom cannot be induc- 
ed to confult their own fecurity, by 
fuch an effectual augmentation, as 
niay enable the troops there to at with 

ower and energy, is the commander 
m chief here to blame? Or is he to 
b:ame, becaule the troops in the Me- 
diterranean, ‘in the Weft-Indies. in 
America, labour under great difficul- 
ties from that fcarcity ot men, which 
ie but: too vifible all over thefe king- 
doms? Many of our forces are in 
climates unfavoueable to Britifh con- 
flitutions, their lofs is in proportion. 
Britain mutt récruit all thefe regi- 
ments from her own emaciated bo- 
fom, or moré precatioufly, by catho- 
licks from Ireland. We are likewife 
fubject to the fatal drains to the Eatt 
Indies, to Senegal, and the alarming 
emigrations of our people to other 
countries: Such depopulation can on- 
y be repaired by a long peace, or by 
ome fenfible bill of naturalization.” 

Sir William proceeds to his own 
vindication; and after complaining of 
the attacks of an invifible enemy, whole 
dagger in the air is only to be regard- 
ed becaufe one cannot fee the hand 
that holds it, “ mark, fays he, how a

Sir William Draper’s conciliating Advice te P-——t. 


I had an undoubted right to vindicate 
my own character, attacked by aS; a- 
rifh memorial, and to aflert the rehts 


of my brave companions. I glory 
likewife, that Ihave never taken up 
my pen, but to vindicate the injured. 
junius atks, by what accident did it 

appen, that In the mida&t of ail this 
buftle, and all thefe clamours tor jnf- 
tiee to the injured troops, the Maimlia 
Ranfom was luddenly buried in a pro- 
found, anidl-fince that time, aa unin- 
terrupted filence? I will explain the 
caufe tothe public. The feveral m°- 
nifters who fave been cinplosed tince 
that time, have been very defirons to 
do us juflice from two malt Jaudabie 
motives, a ftiong inclination to aflitt 
injured bravery, Sad to acquire a weil 
deterved pupularity to themielves. 
Their efforts have been in vain. Some 
were ingenuous enough to own, that 
they could not think of involving this 
diitreffed nation in another war for our 
private concerns. In hort, our rights, 
for the prefent, are facrificed to na 
tional convenience ; and I muft con- 
fefs, that although I may lofe five and 
twenty thoufand pounds, by their ac- 
quiefcence tothis breach of faith in the 
Spaniards, I think they are in the nght 
to temporize, confidering the critical 
fituation of this country, convulfed in 
exery part by poifon infuled by anony- 
mous, wicked, and incendiary writers, 
Lord Shelburne will do me the juilice 
to own, that, in September Iaft, I 
waited upon him with a joint memo- 
tial from the admiral Sir S. Cornith, 
and myéfelf, in behalf of our injured 
companions. His Lordfhip was as 
frank upon the occafion as other fecre- 
taries had been before him. He did 
not deceive us, by giving any imime- 
diate hopes of rehef. 

Junius would bafely infinuate, that 
my filence may have been purchaled by 
my government, by my blufhing rib- 
band, by my regiment, bv the tale of 
that regiment, and by half-pay as an 
Irith colonel, ; 

His majefty was pleafed to give me 
my government for my fervices at Ma- 
dra{fs. Ihad my firft regiment in 1757. 
Upon my return from Manila, his mae 
jetty, by Lord Egremont, informed me, 
that I thould have the tirfk vacant red 
ribband, as a reward for my lerviceg 
in an enterprize, which J had planned 
as well as executed. The Duke af 
Bedford aod Ihr Grenville confirmed 
thofe affurances many months before 
the Spaniards had protefted the ran- 
fom bills. Toaccommodate Ld Clive, 


shen going upon a mot impertant f¢3- 


75 
vice to Bengal, I waved my claim ta 
the vacancy which then happened. As 
there was no other vacancy until the 
Duke of Gratton and Lord Rocking - 
ham were joint miniflers, I was then 
honoured with the Order; and it is 
furely no {gall hunour to me, that in 
fuch a fucceffion of minifters, they 
were ai! pleafed to think thatT had de- 
fexved it 3 in my favour they were all 
united. Upon the reduStion of the 
7gth regiment, which had ferved fo 
plorioufiy in the Ea2lt Indies, his ma- 
jeity, unfoliicited by me, pave me the 
16th of foot, as an equivalent. My 
motives for retiring afterwards are for 
reign to the purpofe, let it futtice, thag 
his majcity was pleafed to approve of 
them; they are fuch as no man cain 
think indecent, who knows the thock 
that repeated viciditudes of heat and 
cold, of danzerous and fickly climates, 
will give to the beit contlitutions, ‘in a 
prettylong -oufeoffervie. T refigne 
ed niy regiment to Col. Gifborne, a 
very gocd officer, for his halt-pay, 
r200l. Frith annuity 3 fo that, accord: 
ing to Junius, I have been bribed te 
fay nothing mere of the Manilla ran- 
foin, and facrifice thofe brave men, h 
the frange avarice of accepting ‘eof 
per an. ond giving up 890 ! If this be 
bribery, it is not the bribery of thefe 
times. As to my Hattery, thofe wha 
know me, willjudge of it. Ry the af- 
perity cf Junins’s tte, I cannot indeed 
call him a fatterer, uniefs it be asa 
cynick or mattiit 3 if he wags his tail, 
he will Rill growl and long ta bits. Tie 
public will now judge of the credit tha 
ought to be given to Junius's writings, 
from the falaities that he has infiiuuated 
with refpeét to myfers.

The above Letter, publifoed in the Lon-

To Sir WILLIAM DRAPER. 
Sir, 


Have réad your letter in the Lon- 
don Chronicle, with all the refpext 
and attention which is due to your ge- 
neral charaéter, and to your perfonal 
condu&—You have there mentioned 
two circumftances, the American af- 
fair, and that of Mr Wiikes, but as the 
former does not feem to fequire fo im- 
‘mediate a confideration, I fhall only 
{peak to the latter—You recommend 
an at of indemnity and oblivion for 
aft offences on all fides, that all mef- 
engers and edicts of wrath be recalled, 
that a temple be erected to Concord, 
and that Mr Wilkes lay: the firft ftone 
eI do firmly believe that you meant 


Sir William Draper’s conciliating Advice to P——t. 


to fecure the peace and welfare, the 
honour and intereft of your country 
by thai propofal: the gallant, the ge- 
n¢erous conqueror of the Manillay, 
could have no private meaning, where 
the public is concerned: but yet Ido 
as firmly, believe, that the means you 
have propofed would not anfwer the 
end you have detioned.——C'ontider, 
Sir, the man in whofe favour yuu have 
pleaded forthis 2é of indemnity ; [will 
not meddle with his private charadler, 
and with regard to his public condu&, 
I will fpeak of him, ander the fan&tion 
of a great and refpectable Affembly, as 
the author of a falfe, fcandalous, and 
feditious libel, containing expreffions 
of the moft unexampled infilence and 
contuinely towards his Majefty, the 
grofier afperfions upon both Houles of 
arllament, and the moft audacious 
defiance of the authority of thé whole 
legiflature, and moft manifeftly tend- 
Ing to alienate the affections of the 
people from his Majefty, and to with- 
draw them from their obedience tothe 
laws of the realm, and to excite them 
to traiterous infurrections againf his 
Mayjeity’s government—The only re- 
mark I thall draw trom the defcrjption 
of the paper here mentioned is thie, 
thatit has produced in fact every fatal 
confequence, to which it was then fup- 
pofedto havea tendency. And this I 
may venture to affirm without any re- 
flection on the legal knowledge, or the 
political forefight of the late Lord 
Chief Juftice of the Common Pleas.-- 
Another offence, for which Mr Wilkes 
fands committed, you will give me 
leave to {neak of, as modettly defcribed 
by himfelf, a few days ago, at the bar 
ef the H—— of C—__-—,, an Eflay on 
Woman, tending to blafpheme Ged. 
—Of thefe two works he was not only 
voted the author, by a refolution of 
both Houfes of Parliament, but he was 
convicted of them by a jury of his 
countrymen. 
The fucceeding part of his condu& 
I thal! not now confider, it has already 
been taken notice of in Parliament, 
and with what event is well known, it 
will foon come under the cognizance 
ofa jury, and [ have not the leaft de- 
fice to foreftall their verdict. Here 
then I leave him for a time to your 
own better confideration, but before I 
part with him, I will tell you my opt- 
nion in a few plain words.—<A lepifla- 
ture audaciouily defied, and a Parlia-

which we look apon tq be of the yt- 
moft importance at this juncture to

We have obferved, with concern,the 
inftability of adminiftration, and the 
ditrad&ions which have prevailed in all 
public councils for thefe feven years 
paft, and ftill prevail, to the difgrace as 
well as detriment of the nation : fuch 
2 perpetual fludtuation of public af-

of the ftate, and it is therefore high 
time that new, permanent, and vigo- 
rous meafures fhould be adopted and 
entered into for its prefervation, e’er 
it be too late. Various are the griev- 
ances which call aloud for redrefs, and 
fome of them we mean to point out to

many flagrant infances of the venality 
of the age, and of the corruption of 
repreentatives in parliament, by wick- 
ed, arbitrary, and oppreffive minifters, 
therefere, in order to ttrike at the root 
of corruption at once, and to revive 
the drooping {pirit of public virtue and 
‘love of our country ; in order to ex- 
tinguifh the falfe hopes, and to curb 
the undue, unconftitutional inguence 
of all afpiring and ambitious fa- 
vourites, we molt earneftly recommend 
to you, and do moft ftriétly enjoin you, 

I. To ufe your utmott endeavours 
to promote the paffing of a new and 
more comprebenfive Place-bill, by which 
all placemen, beyond a limited num- 
ber, may be rendered incapable to fit 
in the Houfe of Commons, for which 
the neceffity is but too evident, trom 
the daily increafe of places and pen- 
fions, and the négle& of bringing in 
which, as foon as poffible, may be tatal 
tothe cozfitution, and to the liberties of 
this kingdom. 

II. We recommend to you to ufe 
your utmoft endeavours, that a law 
may pafs, in the approaching feflion, 

Dr reforing Triennial Parliaments, 
and for limiting the duration of this 
prefent, and all future parliaments, to

of wicked and defigning minifters ;

that enormous influence and power 

now have to corrupt the reprefen- 
tatives of the people, and to fecure a 
venal majority of members in the

quiring, that, for the future, the oath 
of bribery and corruption at all elec- 
tions be taken by the candidates, and 
not the electors. ; 

III. We reque& alfo, and recom- 
mend to youto enquire, how it comes 
te pafs, that the ekief fons of peers of | 
Scotland, who are declared incapable 
to reprefent any borough or fire in 
that kingdom, thould be permitted to 
reprefent any borough or fhire in Eng- 
Jand; and why, when all the commons 
of Scotland are, according to the aé&t of 
Usioz, reprefented by forty-five mem- 
bers in the Britifh parliament, Scots 
commoners are permitted to repretent 
Englith boroughs, and to have additi- 
onal voices in parliament: and whe- 
ther the permitting Scots commoners 
and eldeft fans of peers of Scotland to 
fit in parliament for Englitb borouyhs, 
be not iaconfiltent with, and contra- 
dictory to, the true /pirit of the ad of 
Union: we theretore, mot earnelily re- 
commend to you, to propofe an en- 
guiry. into the true fpirit of the a& of 
Union ; and, as tar as in you lies, by 
all conititutional endeavours, to exe 
Clude Scots commoners already eleéted 
exceeding the vumber of furty five,an 
not reprefenting fhires or boroughs in 
Scotland, trom a {eat and voice in the 
Britifh Parliament. 

e recommend to you, and 
firiétly enjoin you to enquire, by what 
authority it was, that a reprcfentative 
of the peopi¢ in parliament was feized 
in his own houle, dragged out of his 
own houfe, and, in dehance of the Has 
beas Corpus act, and Magra Charta, 
imprifoned in the Tower of London ; 
all his papers, the molt fecret of them, . 
rifled and cairied away, under an a- 
vowed defizn of collecting evidence 
againft him for a_ fuppofed libel; 
thereby obliging a frce-born Engliths 
man to turn his own acculer, contrar 
to the known Jaws of the Jand. e 
alfo defire and expe, that you will 
ufe your utrmoft enseavours to find out 
by whom it was, thata writ of Habeas 
Corpus, granted by a chief juftice, was 
eluded, and it's authority difobeyed, 
in time of public peace and tranqui- 
lity ; and the a of Habeas Corpus, 
that greateft and ftrongeft bulwark of 
Enghifh liberty broke down and tramp- 
led under foot, the powers of which 
were never known to be even fulpend- 
ed, but in times of public danger, of 
{ufpected confpiracies, open rebellion, 
or when a foreign enemy was in arms 


_ in the kingdom.

is ever underftood to bea fulpenfion of 
the liberty of the futjel ; aud we, 
therefore, defire and expeét that you 
will enquire by whofe advice it was, 
that private perfons in office, armed 
with that iron-engine ot oppreffion, 
and bearing that ignominious badge 
of flavery a general warrant, were em- 
ployed, or fet on and encouraged, to 
dare to do that by themfelves, which 
king, lords, and commons, the three 
eftates of the realm, can only do toge- 
ther. — 

V. We moft earneftly recommend to 
you to promote an enquiry into the

how far i: may agree with the freedom 
of our conftitution ; that you will ule 
your utmott endeavours to fecure the 
ibcrties of the people trom all arbitra- 
and unconttitutional ftretches of au- 
thonty: and that you will promote an 
enquiry into the power of judges to al- 
ter records, before or atter judgment, 
before or after trial, for the fake of the 
fafety of every fubject, and that the 
may not be liable to ruin at the dit- 
cretion of any future time-ferving and 
corrupt judge, whe, under the golden 
influence of a court, or the, tyrannical 
influence of a favour ite of a court, may, 
in the procefs of a few years, over-rule 
and over-turp all the eftablifhed /aws 
of the land. 

VI. We recommend to you to pro- 
mote a ftri& enquiry into the public 
accounts, and the heavy national debt, 
incurred by the vait profufion of ex- 
pence attending the late juft and ne- 
ceflary war; and above all, to examine

you.to bear in your minds, on this o¢- 
Cation, and to imprint in your hearts, 
the laft moft excellent words and ad- 
vice given toa Brith parliament by 
one of our beft of princes : 

‘ It is always with regret when I do 
afk aids of my people ; but you will 
© obferve,that [defire nothing which re- 
« Jates to any pcrfonal expence of mine. 

‘I amonly preffing you to do all you 
can for your own fatety and honour, 
at fo critical and dangerous a time ; 
and am willing that what is given 
fhould be wholly appropriated for 
the purpofes for which it is intended. 
.© And fince I am (peaking on this 
head, I thir k it proper to put you in 
mine, that during the Jate war, I 
ordered the accounts to be laid year- 
ly before the parliament, and alfo 
gave my affent to feveral bills for 
taking the public accounts, into cc n- 
fideration, that my fubje&s might 
have fatisfaction how the money 
given for the war was applied. 

‘ And I am willing that matter ma 
be put in any farther way of exami- 
nation, that it may appear whether 
there were any mifappiications and 
mifmanagements ; or whether the 
debt that remains upon us has really 
arifen from the thortnefs of the fup- 
plies, or the deficiency of the funds. 

“Ic is fit I fhould tell you, that 
the eyes of all Europe are upon this 

arliament; all matters are at a 
ftand till your refolutions are known ; 
and therefore no time ought to be 

oft. 

* You have yet an opportunity, by 
God's bleffing, to fecure to you and 
your potterity, the quiet enjoyment 
of your religion and liberties, if you 
are not wanting to your'elves. 

* But I tell you plainly my opinion 
‘ is, if you do not Jay hold on this oc- 
* cafion, yc: have no reafon to hope 
© for another.” 

VII. We alfo recommend to you, to 
promote a biil for laying a duty of ros. 
per hundred weizht on fugar, which, 
according to the beft calculation made 
by a late great chancellor of the ex- 
chequer, (Mr Legg) univerfally ac- 
knowledged to be the moft able finan- 
cier in Europe, will raife 500,000]. per 
annum 3; and to repeal thereby the ad- 
ditional tax upon beer, fubttituted in 
it’s room in the year 1763, and which 
has ever fince been levied with fuch pe-

expect that Bou will enquire, by whofe 
advice it was, that afeparate peace was 
concluded with France and Spain in 
1762, by which a flagrant breach of na- 
tional faith was committed, being in 
direct oppofition to all treaties fubfift- 
ing between our gallant ally the king 
ot Pruffia, and his late majefty of glo- 
rious memory, renewed and confirmed 
by his prefent majefty, after his accef- 
fion, in a treaty bearing date Dec. 13, 
1760, in which is contained the follow- 
inp article : 

ARTICLE Iv. 

© The bigh contra@ing powers mcre- 
“ over engage, viz. on the one fide his 
‘ Britannic majelty, as well kiag as 
© eleBor, and on the other, his Pruffian 
* majefty, not to conclude any treaty

A treaty of peace was, no:withitand- 
inz, entered into, and concluded at 
Paris, between England, France and 
Spain, without the confent and mutual 
agreement of the king of Pruffia, in de- 
fiance of the above article of a mott 
folemn treaty and engagement between 
his prefent majetty, and the king of 
Pruffia, and within lefs than two years 
froin the date thereof; by which the 
honour and public faith of the nation, 
became a facrifice to evil counfellors, 
and corrupt minifters: and we do, 
there’ore, requeft of you our reprefen- 
tatives, and do hereby call upon you, 
to ufe your utmoft endeavours to trace 
eut, detect, and bring to condign pu- 
nifhment all fuch evil counfellors, and 
corrupt minifters, by whofe advice the 
national faith has been thus ignomini- 
oufly proitituted, and traiteroufly broke 
and forfeited. 

IX. Wedo alfo recommend to you, 
to promote an enquiry, by which the 
conftitution itelf may be examined in- 


71 
to, according to its firft original prin- 
ciples : and whereas the eldeft fons of 
Peers were never admitted, but always 
rejected from a feat in the parliament 
ot Scotland, the chief reafon for which 
rejection, amongft others, was, * The 
‘ enormous and over-bearing influence 
an power o a numerous peerage, 
which furrounding the commons, 
thereby prevented freedom in elec- 
tions, fo that no commoner holding 
any patt of his lands of a peer, or 
“ indeed being in his neighbourhood, 
“ could be ned at liberty to make 
‘ a free eleétion of his reprefentative.° 
And whereas the peerage of England is 
extremely numerous, and the influence 
and power of Englith fufficiently 
known and felt, as well elfewhere as in 
their neighbourhood, and the freedom 
of elections as notorioufly invaded, 
notwithftanding repeated refolutions 
of the Houfe ot Commons, declaring, 
‘ That it is a biygh infringement of the 
* liberties and privileges of the Com- 
* mons of Great Britain for any lord 
‘ of parliament, or any lord-lieutenant 
* of any county, to concern themfelves 
* in the elections of members to ferve 


* for the Commons in parliament * 
and whereas nothing can be more ex- 


travagantly abfurd, or more unconfti- 
tutional, than that the fenfe of the 
Commons of Great Britain fhould be 
delivered in parliament by peers, and 
reprefentatives elected by peers, which 
in effect is the uniting and making one 
houfe of both houfes of parliament ; 


_therefore, to remedy this dangerous 


innovation as far, and as foon as may 
be, and before the fatal confequences 
to our happy conftitution, and the ac- 
knowledged right and liberties of the 
people be {pread too wide, and acquire 
too much ttrength, fo as to bear down 
all oppofition before them, 

We do require, and do moft ftritly 
enjoin you to move, at the opening of 
next fefiien of parliament, that a refo- 
Jution may be pafled, ‘ Whereby the 
‘ eldeft fons of peers of England, as 
* well asthofe of motland, may be de- 
* clared incapable to fit in the Houle 
* of Commons of Great Britain. 

X. We recommend to you, and 
ftrictly charge you, carefully and im- 
partially to enquire into the conduct of 
all fuch returning officers, of whofe 
proceedings complaint fhall at any 
time be made before the houle; and 
to do jufitceto the nation by bringing all 
fuch criminals to condign punifhment, 
who fhall appear to have violated the 
rights of treeholders and legal votece at 
elections ; thereby invading the bith-

soft, and aringly infulting the confiz- 
tution and Liberty of their comxtry. 


XI. We recommend to you to pro- , 


mote an enquiry into the condué of 
the feveral adminifti ations during the 
lat feven years, and the caufes of the 
Jate frequent changes and difmiffions ; 
and above all, to explore, and to ene 
deavour to trace out and deteét the fe- 
cret influence of that undermining fa- 
vourite, by whofe arbitrary mea-ures, 
and pernicious counieis, this once hap- 
py and flourithing kingdom has been 
reduced, fiom a ftate of power and tri- 
umph, of affluence and unanimity, ir to 
its prefent ftate of imbecility and dir 
vifion, of difrefs and difiraction. 

XIL, Lafly, We do moft folemnly 
charge you to dema..d out of cuitody 
the perfon of Jobs Wilkes, Eiq; knight 
of the thire for the county uf Middie-

mitted to prifon on an outlawry, which 
was alterwards declared, by the very 
judges who committed him, to be ille 
gal; a man who fo fteadiy defended 
che sights and privileges ot all the Com- 
mous of Exgland when invaded, and 
who, with fuch unthaken intrepidity

Memoirs of the Life of the Prince of Condé. 
Cont. qued from vol. Xxxvill, p. 596. 
OOK VI. The Prirce, when he 
quitted the army of Guienne, left 
the command of it to the Prince of 
Conti, fupported by M1 fin and Laine, 
and repair. 4, di'guifed |.ke a courtier, 
to the arm, commanded by Nemours 
and Beautort, which was encamped 
near Lori, ut the entrance of the foreft 
of Orleans. It was time that he fhould 
arrive thee, as his prefence would foor 
have cured the dilorders which the 
difputés of Nemcurs and Beaufort had 
introduced. His intention was to go 
tc Pai:e, where Chavigni wiote him 
word, lits prefence was neceflary to 
baffle the views of Goudi, raifed to the 
purple by the Queens’s intereft, under 
the celebrated titie of the Carinal de 
Refz, and to retain on bis fide the cae 
pital of the kingdom ; but he was de- 
irous of being preceded by victory, 
that the fame of his fuccefs might give 
him more authority, by infpiring his 
friends with confidence, and his ada 
verfaries with dread. Having learned 
that tbe royal army was difperfed in 
cantonments of a vait extent, that Tu- 
renne was encamped at Briare and 
Hocquuncourt at Bleneau, covering by 
their pofition the king and the court 
who were thut up in Gien, Condé fel 
with the fwiftnefs of an cagle on Hoc- 
quincourt’s quarters in the night time, 
and killed, took, or difperfed his whole 
army. Intending afte: wards to attack 
Turenne, he found him fo well potted 
that it was impofhible to force him to 
hazard a batile. He was therefore o- 
blized to content himfelf with having 
ruined the detachment which Hocquin- 
court Commapyided ; all his artillery and, 
baggage, 3000 horfes, a great number 
of {tandards, and a valt booty enrich- 
ed the conqueror; 600 prifcners of war 
begged the prince to allow them toen- 
lift in his fervice, and be formed them

ferved him with reputation the remain- 
der of the war. 

Condé afterwards went to Paris; 
but he found there much more en:dar- 
raffment than he expected. The po- 
pulace Jonked on hin with admiration 
as the detendero: the ate againit Ma- 
zarin, its opprefior; but Galton duke 
of Orleans, weak, jealous, and govern- 
ed by the Cardinal de Ret7, and many 
of the prefidents and-c:unfellors of the 
parliament attached to the queen's 
patty, occafioned him fo manv per- 

lexities, that he was equally b2fKed 

th in the meafines that ne took to 
frengthen his party, and in hi. nezo- 
tiations for a reconcilement with the 
court. 

The paper-war produced a multi- 
tude of fatyrical pieces, the offsprin 
of calomny and malice. Concé ha 
the courage to perufe the bittereft pub- 
fications againft him. One day, when 
he was deeply engaged in one of thefe 
pamphlets, Mangni, one of the great- 
eft geniufes of the age, entered his 
clofet, without his perceiving him, and 
took the liberty to interrupt him b 
faying, The beok, fir, which your bigb- 
wefs bas in your hand, muft needs be bigh- 
ly entertaining, fince it fo much engaces 
jour attenticn. Yes, replied the prince, 
it interefts me extremely, it acquainis me 
avith my faults and my dees, which my 
friencls dare not mention to me. At the 
fame time he thewed him the book, 
which was entitled, The True and the 
Falje of the Prince of Condé and the Car- 
Bral de Retz. | 

The prince rejected more than once, 
with a virtuous indignation, the bafe 
proje& of deftroying his moft danger- 
rous enemy the Cardinal de Retz. He 
heard that a gen‘leman of his party 
named Augerville, was come from 
Guienne on purpofe to ri: him of that 

relate, and that the affaffin was wait- 
ing for his victim in Tournon ftreet. 
Condé immediately flew to that ftreet,

‘Ene duke of Rohan, who was

Condé, feeing his party grow weak- 
erand weaker every day, turnéd to- 
wards Spain, which was weil inclined 
to fuppert him. But the Archduke 
who commanded in the low countrics, 
would not diminith his forces by fend- 
ing a detachment of his own trogps to

ed with Charles UL. duke of Lorrain, 
and engaged him to march ‘with an 
army of 10,060 men, which ‘was all

of Etampes, ‘The duke of Lorrain, 
naturally of a tree, eafy, penetratin 
genius, with an ardent courage, and 
a mot cngoging affubility, had ac. 
quired an urcommon and profound 
infight intothe art of war and the {ci- 
ence of politicks. He was éitcemed 
one of the moft iiluftrious warriors of 
the age. Of ail the princes, of all the 
men, in Europe, he was the molt agree- 
able, and the mofl poputar; he wag 
haughty only to kings. No fovereign

purchafed his inactivity and retreat ; 
and all the advantage that the princes 
derived trom the affifttance of the Lor-

to raife the fiege of Etampes, and thus 
the army ‘of the princes was relieved 
and freed frem danger. - 

Soon after the duke of Lorrain's 
retreat, happened the famous battle 
in the fuburb of St Anthony, where 
Condé and Turenne, the leaders of the 
two hoftile. armies, difplayed: with fo 
much glory all the refources that coua

Mazarin, who took refuge at Bouillon, 
from whence he continued fecretly to

ad no fooner left the court, than a 
great number of the friends of Condé 
and of the country party were in hafte

Mr Ursa, 

I See by your Magazine for Novem. 

ber lat, that H. D. finds fault with 
my obfervations on Virgil and Pytha- 
goras, but notwithffanding what he 
has advanced againft them, they re- 
main mm flat quo. 

‘That a blunder of a tranfcriber in 

mifplacing two lines thould fo long 
have paffed unnoticed, is not fo much 
to be wondered at, as that (when ir has 
been painted out) any one of tafte 
and judgment fhould not fee it. What 
I faid in) Auguit Magazine, I truft is 
more than fufficient to all fuch. And 
I would advife our young critic to, 
review what is faid there, and compare 
it with his own fcheme; perhaps. the 
contrat may better inform his judg- 
ment. . 
Is it likely then (with H. D.) that 
/Eneas, now in Helenus’s court, fhould 
Iminediately after be found failing on 
the feas; (without any of the ufual 
preparatives mentioned in his depar- 
ture from HI, D's ‘Ferra Incognita) and: 
prefently arter thould be found again 
upon Jand, but no body knows where, 
or tor what, without the leaf hint of 
his landing, 

On the other hand, is it not more like- 
ly, that the Trojans, having been fup- 
phed withall things neceflary for their 
voyage, and taken a folemn leave of 
their benefactor, towards the clofe of 
the day, (hould repair to their fleet in 
the harbour, and there, having ajuit- 
wn to 
ref on the fhore, waiting for a fair 
wind; before midnight they were 
fummoned on thipboard by the pilot, 
and accordingly they then weigh an- 
chor, fhove their thips off hore, Fee fail, 
and betore day break had advanced fo 
far in the right courfe to Italy, that 
as foon as it was day-light they could 
fee the Italian fhore. And now, why 
fhould H. D. make that two days tran- 
factions, which required but a fmall 
pert of One? And I would afk him if 

etakes provebimur Pelage, B pandi- 
aus ‘alas to be fynonymus 3 f not, 
where is my tautology! perhaps his 
miftaking caffra movemus, might mif- 
lead him in favour of his fcheme. 

Next, as to his remark upon ‘ee; I 
may wy in his phrafe) I believe H. 
D. is ft, (and I hope the la) that

“© The extraordinary nature of cer- 
tain refolves lately entered in your

an apparent tendency to give cffence, 
where common prudence would avoid 
it, have put it out of my power to 
continue this aflembly any longer. 

* Fobferve by your journals, that 
you have prepared reprefentations of 
the flate of the colony to he prefented 
to his majefty. Claims that refpect the 
fapremacy of Great Britain, are of 
fo important and delicate a nature, 
that every motive of duty and interet 
urge you at this critical juncture, to 
avoid offence, and conciliate a favou- 
rable audience tu your petitions: from 
the late affurances you gave me, I hope 
they are expreffed in iuch terms of de- 
gency and refpect as may recommend 
them tothe royal ear, and merit the 
attention of the parliament. 

s¢ For my own part, I have fteadily 
aimed at, and hail {till continue my

ef the colony; and I cannot help la-

your cafe before his majetty, i¢ muit 
evidently appear that the meafures you 
have fince purfued, were not only un- 
neceffary, but in the piefent exigency 
of affairs, dangerous to the colony.

lays in my power, any untayourable 
saifconceptions of the people commit-

‘which is required at my hands to the

HE following receipt will affured - 

ly prevent the fmut, and render 

both rhe fowine and drilting of wheat 
much more ealy and certain (1 mean 
as tu the quantity } than any other mg- 


‘thod hitherto practifed. 


A tub ts to be procured that has a 
ho'e at bottom, in which a ftafF and 
tap hofe is to be fixed over a whilp of 
ftraw, to pseveut any fmall pieces of 
lime paffing, (as in the brewing way 3) 
this done, we put 70 gallons of water, 
then a corn bufliel heap-full of fone 
lime, unflaked, flirring ix well till the 
whoie is diiulved or mixed, le:ting it 
ftand about 30 hours, and then run it 
off into anotaer tub as clear as we can 
(as practifed in beer) this generatiy 
produces a hogfheed ef good flrone 
lime water, then add three pecks cf 
jalt, 42 pounds, which, with a littl= 
ftirring, will foon diffolve ; thus we 
have a proper pickle for the purpote ct 
brining and liming our feed whest 
without any manner of obftacle, which 
is more thancan be faid in doing it tile 
common way, and greatly facilitates 
thedrilling. — ; 

Herein we fleep the wheat ina broad. 
bottomed bafket of about 24 inches 
diameter, and 20 inches deep (‘dr 
large fowihe made on purpofe) 1us- 
ning in the grain gradually im f{:natl 
quantities from to to 12 gallons up fo 
16 gailons, ftirring the fame : What 
floats, we kim off witha ftrainer, ard 
is not to be fown: then draw up the 
bafket, to drain over the pickle, for.a 
few minutes ; all which may be pes- 
formed within half an how, fuficientsy

uires, for fome lime has much more

others —If fea-water can be obtained

will not float, 2 thing of more coufe- 
quence than is generally imagined, 
and ought to be fkimmed cfF and 
thrown afide for poultry, &c. 

I fay this from well-grounded ex- 
perience, having pradtifed thefe me- 
thods for 30 years pa, and never had 
any black wheat when prepared as a- 
bove, either from fowing or drilling, 
on great variety of foils, and large 

uantities too ; all which is confirma- 
tion enough to continue its practice. 

JOHN REYNOLDs. 

%,° The Society has received infor- 
mation, that on experiment it has 
been found, the wheat may be fown in 
two hours after being put into the 
brine, provided the brine is ftrong e- 
nough, and due attention is paid te 
the frength of the lime water. _

fignifies to wath, and is applied to this 
Sacrament ‘of Baptifm, becaule that is 
an outward wafhiig. Parents muit be 
careful to get their children baptized, 
for by this ordinance their original fin 
1s wathed away, and they grafted into 
the body of Chrift, fo that if they die 
before they have committed aétual fin, 
they are uridoubredly faved. If they 
negledt, they muft anfwer for puiting 
their children’s falvation on fo great a 
hazard, but it is the contempt, and not 
the bare want of the Sacrament,which 
makes it damnable, and fo cannot be 
imputable to the child. Thofe who 
are of riper years muft anfwer for 
themfelves, and make the covenant 
with their own mouths, and the God- 
fatheis are enly witneffes to the faét, 
and mult be monitors to them, to live 
well according to their vaw. The 
prieft afks if the child hath been bap- 
tized, becaufe St. Paul faith, there is 
but ore Baptiim, and as we are boro 
but once, fo we are born again but 
once, that that Baptifm commanded in 
the Holy Gofpel; 1s not to be dnder- 
ftood by any means, of the inward and 
fpiritual Baptifm, becaufe aéts of in- 
ward faith are, and ought to be, often 
aptifm, which 
cannot be repeated, cannot be the in- 
ward but the outward Baptifm. To 
baptize with the Hely Ghoft is pecu- 
liar to Chrift alone, for none can bap- 
rize with the Holy Ghoft, but he who 
can fend and beftow the Holy Ghoft, 
which is blafphemy to afcribe to any 
creature. (Mr Leflie.) 

Sureties or Godfathers are injoined 
by cuftom, which gives the Church fe- 
curity that the child thall not becomé 
an apoftate, and provides a monitor 
both for the child, and its parents, to 
mind them of this vow, viz. (the God- 
fathers and Godmothers in behalf of 
the child) becaufe in Baptifm we are 
making a covenant. God hath given 
the promifes, which are his word, and 
therefore good reafon we fhould give 
our word for the performance of the 
conditions on our part; and fince that 
infants cannot make a covenant them- 
felves, the Church lends them the feet 
of otHers to bring them, and the 
tongues of others to promife for therm. 
The Godfathers promife doth oblige 
the child, for by the wife iaw in the 
world, guardians may contract for 
ininors or pupils, who are bound to 
perforin what their guardians hate 
undertaken. . —

This “lemn naming of three pérfons is 
a kind of calling them to witnefs from 
heaven, that we may as it were profefs

for witnedles of our faith, who made us

The minifter doth baptize in the 
name of three perfons inthe Trinity, 
and this he doth in God's name, and 
by his power and commiflion, and that 
the baptized perfon is dedicited to, 


and engaged to worfhip and ferve the . 


Holy Trimity. Eicher of thefe fenfes, 
as it proves them all to be perfons, fo

that can only belong to the Divine Na- 
ture. (Bifhop Burnet.) The prieft 
fprinkles, and not dips, sft. becaafe 
‘the efficacy of the Sacrament depends 
not on the quantity of the water, but 
on the Grace of God. 2dly, The cold- 
nefs of our climate hath made this 
cuftom almoft neceflary. The child 
is figned with the fign of the crofs on 
the forehead, for the clearer mani- 
feftation, that this child now belongs 
to Chrift. The church fets his fign and 
pecuiiar mark upon it, a cuftom by 
which the primitive Chriftians declared 
their religion, which continued in ufe 
in the time of Conftantine the Great, 

‘and therefore could not be an inven- 
tion of the Papifts ;) and then this rite 
was no more but that wherewith we 
conclude all our prayers and thankf- 

ivings when we fay, Through Jefus 

hrift our Lord and Saviour. (Jof. 
Mede.) adly, It is figned in the fore- 
head, becaufe that this is the feat of 
blufhing and fhame, that we may not 
be afhamed. 

The effect of Baptifm is falvation to 
all infants duly baptized, who die be- 
fore they have committed actual fin ; 
and to ail of ripe years, who truly be- 
lieve, repent, and perfevere in faith 
and obedience. 


Mr UrBaN, 


Soinetimes a fimple remedy does great 
fervice in the moft defperate cafes. 

Thus have I known convulfive fpafms 
attended with catchings of the breath ; 
as alfoa delirium, or light-headednefs in 
fevers, reheved only by bathing the feet 
and legs in an hot bath, made of any 
warm herbs boiled, or barely of warm 
water, 





‘The patient is to be taken up, if ite 
bed, and fit with the legs in a deep 
veffel, nearly up to the knees, a quarter 
of an haur, or more, night and mom- 
ing, or oftner, Then to be wiped dry, 
and wrapped up in flannel, baving ap- 
plied firft four herbs, beat up with fale 
and vinegar, to the feet in hot diforders ; 
but cataplafms of ftale yeft, with roafted 
onions, and bruifed muftard-feed, or 
rafpiigs of horfe-radifh, in coldones. 

Hereby the inferior parts being re- 
laxed, the veins and other veflels, are 
rendered more large and open, confe- 
quently urge the blood lefs upwards, 
whereby there will net be fo great a 
fulnefs and preffure on the breatt and 
brain as before. 

A noble, divine remedy, fays Boer- 
bave, by which I have cured fo many 
miferable patients ; and, if phyficians 
did not negleét this method, many more 
would efcape to thank us, who now drop 
under their hands. 


Mr Ursan, 
T HE expulfion of Mr Wilkes, hav- 
ing not a little attra&ed the notice 
of the public, J apprehend the follow- 
ing accounts of Mr Afgill’s and Sir

of Commons,’ will not be unacceptable

Fam, Sir, &ec. 
CAUSIDICUS. 
R Afgill, who had been eleéted 
member in feveral parliaments, 
the latter end of the laft century, pub- 
lithed a piece intitled, 

An Argument, proving that according 
to the Covenant of eternal Life, revealed 
tn the Scriptures, Man may be tranflated 
Srom hence into that eternal Life, with- 
out pafing through Death, although the 
Human Nature of Chrift brmfelf could 
not be thus tranflated till ke bad pafed 
through Death. 

The purport of this pamphlet was to 
convince the readers, that fince true be- 
lievers recovered in Chuift all they loft 
in Adam, and as our natural death was 
the effe&t of Adam’s fin, that believers 
were rendered immortal by Chrift, and 
not liable to death, and that therefore. 
they who believed with a true and firm 
faith, could not die. 

Some time after this extraordinary 
production, Mr Afgill was arrefted, at 
the fuit of one Mr Helland, to whom 
he was indebted in x very confiderable 
fum of money, and thrown into, the 

Fleet.

Powerful Effetts of fimple Remedies. 





Account of Mr Afgills Expulfion. 


Fleet. Mr Afgill, on thrs, petitioned 
the houfe to reijeve him from his con- 
finement, and on the 25th of Novem- 
ber 1707, a committee having been ap- 

int-d to examine his petition, the 

oufe took their report into conhidera- 
tion, wheg it was ordered to be recom- 
mittted, 

While this matter was agitated, fome 
of Mr Afgiil’s enemies put the above- 
sgentioned pamphiet into the hands of 
feveral members of the Houle of Com- 
amons, afferting that it was a moft blaf- 
phemous and dangerous performance ; 
in confequence of this, the piece was 
brought up to the table, and the title 

and fome parts of it being read, it ap- 
peared, that feveral paffages in it re- 
e&ted on, and were contrary to the 
Chrittian religion : it was therefore re- 
folved, that it fhouid be referred to a 
committee to enquire after the author 
of this uétion. 

On the 16th of December in the fame 
year, the Commons relolved, that Mr 
Afgill was entitled to the privilege of 
the houte, as being a member thereof ; 
on this he was demanded from the cul- 
tody of the warden of the Fleet, to at- 
ten! public bufinefs tn the national af- 
fembly. Upon his diicharge, purfuant 
to this refolution, he took his feat at 
uie next meeting cf the Commons, ani 
two or three days after, when the houfe 
took into confideration the report from 
the committce, to whom it wa3 referred 
to enquire about the author, printer and 
pubiither of the tract in qucition, it ap- 
pearing that it was attributed to Mr 
Argill, he was charged with being the 
author, and he, fo tar from denying it, 
proceeded to a vindication of it in his 
feac. The houfe then refolved, that the 
faid treatile contained many prophane 
and blafphemous exprellions, highly 
reflecting on the Chriftian religion, and 
ordered, that it fhould be publickly 
burat by the hands of the common 
hangman, in New Palace Yard, W :it- 
mintter. Iney further refolved, chat 
Johu Afgill, Efq; having in his place 
owned himfelf to be the author of the 
faid tract, fhould be expelied the hout:.

his expuifion, deatn, whom he flattered

ins ains aDuut the enuics the yeai r7uy. 

Tie affair of oor Ricoard Sn cie was 
as follows: About the Leginnice of 
the yewrzr4, that centicman, wo was 
Rrenuoully supported by the Wine 
party, having attacked Queen -\nnis 
minifters with great boldnefs and feve- 
rity, in feveral public wistings, it was

the tories, to remove him from his feat 
in parliament. 
44 petition, which was lodged againft 


his election, happening to be the fe- 


venteenth of that kind, and therefore 
not like to come on that {cffion, it was 
refolved to take a fhorter way, and at- 
tack him about fome of his late politi- 
Mr Hungerford, a noted 
lawyer, who had been expelled the houfe 
of commons for bribery in the reign of 
king William, moved, on the x1th of 
March, to take into confidcration that 
part of the qacen's {peech, which related 
to the fuppreMfing feditious Jibeis ; and 
complained, in particular, of fevcral 
{candalons papers lately publifhed, un- 
der the name of Richard Steele, Efq; ‘ 
a member of that houfe. He was fe- 
conded by Mr Auditor Foley, a near 
relation to the lord-treafurer, who fug- 
gelted, ¢ That unlefs means were found 
* to reftrain the licentioufnefs of the - 
‘ prefs, and to fhelter thofe who had 
* the honour to be in the adminiftration, 
* from malicious and fcandalsus libels ; 
‘ thev, who by their abilities are beft 
‘ qualified to ferve their queen and 
* country, would decline public offices 
‘and employments.” This was fup- 
ported by Sir William Wyndham, who 
addcd, ‘That fome of Mr, Steele's 
* writings contained infolent injurious 
‘ reflections on the queen herfelf, and

"92 Account of Sir Richard Steeles Expulfon. 


‘this, Mr Steele faid, ‘ That, being at- 
“ tacked on feveral heads without an 
¢ previous notice, he hoped the houfe 
¢ would allow him, at leaft, a week's 
€ time to prepare for his defence.” Au- 
ditor Harley having excepted againft fo 
Jong a delay, and moved for adjourning 
this affair to the Monday following, 
Mr Steele, to ridicule his two principal 
profecutors, Foley and Harley, who 
were known to be rigid prefbyterians, 
though they now fided with the high- 


church, affumed their fan&tified counte-_ 


nance, and owned, ‘in the meeknefs 
© and contrition of his. Beart, | ‘hoped, 
© was ave at finner ; and hoped, 
€ the membere who {poke laft, and who 
© was fo juftly renowned for his exem- 
‘ plary piety and devotion, would not 
“ be acceffary to the accumulating the 
¢ number af his tranfgreffions, by ob- 
¢ liging him to break the fabbath of the 
« Lord, by perufing fuch profane wri- 
“ tings, as might ferve for his juftifica- 
‘ tion.” This fpeech, {poken in a cant- 
ing tone, having put the generality of 
the affembly in good humour, Mr Steele 
carried his pojnt ; and the further coy- 
fideration of the charge againft him was 
deferred for a week, by which time it 
was expected, that Sir Richard Onflow, 
Mr Hampden, Mr Lechmere, and other 
leading members of the whig-party, 
who were abfent, would be in town. 
On the 18th of March, the day ap- 
pointed for Mr Steele's trial, the court- 
party thought proper to clear the houfe 
ef all ftrangers ; which being done, 
auditor Foley moved, that, before the 
proceeded any farther, Mr Steele fhoui 
d: lare, whether he acknowledged the 
writings, that bore his name ? Upon 
which Mr Steele owned all the papers 
Jaid tu his charge to be parts of his 
writings : that Le wrote them in behalf 
of the houfe of Hanover, and owned 
them with the fame unrefervednefs,with 
which he abjured the pretender. "Then, 
a debate atifiug upon the method of 
roceeding, Mr Foley propofed, that 
Mr Stele thould withdraw ; but, after 
Several fpeeches, it was carried, without 
dividing, that he fhould ftay, in order 
to make his defence. Mr Steele defired 
he might be allowed ta anfwer to what 
might be urged againft him paragraph 
by paragraph ; but though he was pow- 
erfully fupported by Mr Robert Wal- 
pole, general Stanhope, the lord Finch, 
elileft fon to the Earl of Nottingham ; 
and the lord Hinchinbroke,. fon to the 
Earl of Sandwich ; yet his accufers in- 
fifte?, and it was carned, * That he 
« thould proceed to make his defence 


* generally, upon the cha iven @- 
* gaint him.” Mr Steele proceeded 
accordingly, being affifted by Mr Ad- 
difon, who fat near him, to prompt him, 
upon occafion ; and for near three hours 
fpake to the feveral heads, extra&ed ou 

of three pamphlets above mentioned 
(which had been given in print to all 
the members) with fuch temper, elo- 
quence, and unconcern, as gave entire 
fatifaction to all, who were not prepof- 
feffed againft him. 

Mr Steele being withdrawn, mof 
members expected, that Mr Foley 
would have fummed up, and anfwered 
his defence : but he contented himklf 
with faying, in general, ‘ That, with- 
‘ out amufing the houfe with lon 
‘ fpeeches, it was plain, that the wri- 
* tings, that had been complained of, 
‘ were feditious and fcandalous, inju- 
‘ rious to her majefty’s government, 
‘ the church and the univerfities, and 
“ moved, that the queftion fhould be ‘ 
‘ put.’ This occafioned a very warm 
debate, which lafted till eleven at night, 
Mr Robert Walpole, who {poke firft in 
favour of Mr dteele, made a loug and 
slegant {peech. 

he lords Lumley and tiinchinbroke, 
and fome other members, {poke alfo in 
favour of Mr Steele, and againft the 
conduét of the miniftry. But Mr Fo- 
ley, Sir William Wyndham, the attor- 
ney-general, and fome other courtiers, 
being fupported by a great majority, 
till infifted on the queftion, and it was 
carried at Jaft by 245 voices againit 152, 
Firft, ‘ That a printed pamphlet, intis 
“tled, * The Englifaman, being the 
clofe of the paper fo called,” and one 
other pamphlet, intitled, ‘* The Cri- 
fis,” written by Richard Steele, Efq3 
a member of the houfe, are fcandaloug 
and feditious libels, containing many 
expreffions highly refle&ting upon ker 
majefty, and upon the nobitity, cler- 

» gentry, and univerfities of thig 

ingdom, malicioufly infinuating,that 

the Proteftant fucceffion in the houfe 
of Hanover is in danger under her 
majeity’s adminiftration, and tendin 
to alienate the affections of her ma-

jealoufies and divifions among them. 
Secondly, That Richard Steele, Efq; 
for his offence in writing and publith-

bels, be expelled this houfe.’

s- The Cafe of Great Britain and 
America, addreffed to the King and both 
Houfes of Parltament. . 
THIS pamphlct is written with great 

{pirit, force and peripicuity, and 
contains a: that has hitherto been faid 
in favour of the colonies, and more, 

The a:ihor obferves, that the affairs 
of Great Britain and her colonies are 
at a cris; and that Great Britain 
fhould immediately fix the pretenfions 
thit the will never relinquth, and the 
colunics have certain information of the 
claims to which they muff fubmit: for 
that tll this is done, there will be irre- 
folution on one fide, and repugnance 
on the other. 

It isfaid that the prefent miniftry has 
refolved to tax the colonies by the au- 
thority of Britith parliament, and com- 
pell che colonies to fubmiffion; to exa- 
mine the juftice and policy of thefe 
meafures, and fuggeft others which ap- 
pear lefs exceptionable is this author's 
objet. 

He fuppofes the conftitution of the 
colonies to depend immediately upon 
the charters, and, though not the fame 
in all particulars, to agree in the fol- 
lowing, That the inhabitants have a 
right to tax themfelves by their repre- 
femtatives in their provincial affemblies ; 
that none of them vote for reprefenta- 
tives inthe Britith parliament, and that 
all cf them are to enjoy the freedom 
of Britith fubjedts, . 

To fupport thefe charters, he ob- 
ferves that the difvofition of foreign 
territory belonging to Great Britain 
has always been veited in the executive 
power, and that if the crown when it 
granted the charters in queftion could 
have ceded the territory of America to 
a foreign power, it could certainly fix 
the terms on which its inhabitants 
fhould continue to-be the fubjeéts of 
Crest Britain. 

He further fuppofes, that if the 
crown was not legally poffeffed of the 
power to grant fuch charters, yet that 
uninterrupted poffeffion for a certain 
term confers a right, and that the ca- 
lonifts hase poffeffed their charters 
much longer than that term: that they 
have improved the country from a de- 
pendance uppn.the validity of their ti- 
tle, and the Britifh parliament has feen 
them do fo, and acquiefced in it; and 
that therefore it would be great injuf- 
tice to deprive them of rights fo pur- 
chafed and confirmed, 

He remarks that it has been urged 
thas the- parliament can revoke the

charter of any city or corporate town 
in England, however long enjoyed : 
but ine fays the comparifon is unfair ; 
becaule if the charter of a Britit, town 
be revoked, it muft be revoked jin ana 
affembly, which is the repretentative af 
that town; This, however, feems to 
be begging the queftion in difpute, 
whether America is, or is not legally 
reprefented in a Britifh parliament. 
The author fays, that the charters of 
America are agreements made between 
England on one ‘part, and her colonies 
on the other ; but may it not alfo be 
faid, that the charters granted to Britith 
towns are agreements .between England 
collectively on one part, and a particu- 
lar town on the other; and may it not 
be afked whether the Houfe of Com- 

is is not legally the reprefentative 
of both the contracting parties in one 
cafe, as well as thé. other? That is, 
whether every Britith fubje& is not, by 
the conititution as it now ftands, fup- 
pofed to be reprefented for all legal 
pxrpojes, by the members of the Brie 
tith Houfe of Commons, chofen as by 
law direéted, ; 

The Americap, fays this author, 
afferts that he is deprived of the moft 
effential privileges of a Briton and a 
freeman, if the colony to which he 
belongs can be taxed by an. affembly 
jn which it is not reprefented, and 
the advocate for adminiftration an- 
{wers thet there are many natives of 
Great Britain herfelf that are not re- 
prefented ; many having no votes in 
the choice of reprefentatives, and that 
the colonifts have no caufe to complain 
when they are in the fame condition 
as many of the natives of Greut Bri- 
tain; and afks would a colony pretend 
to a better conftitution than the mother 
country ? He then reprefents an Ame- 
rican pleading his own caufe in anfwer 
to this argument, as follows : | 
‘ I do not claim a better conftitution 
than my mother count.y: you have 
mifreprefented my claims. I have 
faid that a right of fuffrage in the 
choice of our representatives is the - 
moft effential of Britih privileges ; 
but I have zot faid, that every Briton 
enjoys that right: nor do 1 require 
that every colonift thould enjoy it. 
There are many Britons who have 
no vote in the election ofthe Houle 
of Commons, fo are there many co- 
lonifts who have no vote in the elec- 
tion of our provincial reprefenta- 
tives: alledge, if you will, that in 
heing taxed by your parliament, you

are taxed by an imperfe reprefenta- 
tive; in being taxed by our provin- 
cial aflemblies, we are taxed hy a re- 
prefentative as imperfcé&t. Our free- 
dom therctore, in point of taxation, 
when we are taxed by our oan af- 
femblies, is not greater than yours ; 
itis only equa! to it; our contftituti- 
on is an image of yours. But if we 
are to be taxed by your parliament, 
our conftitution no longer refembles 
yours, and our freedom is a:mhilat- 
ed. If there be many Britons who 
have get a vote in the choice of their 
reprefentatives, there are aifo many 
that dave. The poff-ffion of a gos. 
freehold, in Britain, confers the pri- 
vil of a votc: the poffeffion of 
the whole continent does not confer 
that privilege. Do you not know 
the infinite difference hetween a na- 
tion where ail have not the power of 
voting for their reprefentatives, and a 
nation where mone Lave that power ? 
The former is your condition, and 
therefore you are a frce people; the 
former is what we claim; the latter 
is the condition of flaves, and that 
is what you offer. We claim the 
right of fuffrage, as the privileges of 
Biitons, and you tell us we have it, 
becaufe we are like thofe Britons 
who have it sot! We claim the fame 
conftitution as Great Britain, and you 
offer us only the defeé? of that con- 
ftitution, but deny us its advantages. 
England cannot be taxed but by 
an affembly, where her land is repre- 
fented by knights, her monied inte- 
reft by citizens and burgeffes, and 
therefore fhe is a free nation. Is 
then America on a par with England 
in point of freedom, if fhe can be 
taxed by an affembly, to which her 
frecholders fend zo knights, and her 
cities 29 citizens ? You fay that your 
right of fuffrage is partially diftri- 
buted in Britain; give us then a 
right of fuffiage as partially diftri- 
buted in America. For this repre- 
fentation, partial and imperfect as you 
call it, your magna chartas have been 
demanded, your patriots have bled, 
and your monarchs have been de- 
throned. Was this for nothing? 
yet this you deny to the Americans, 
though you fay to us, Ye have the 
privilegesof Britons.’ 

‘ But there is yet another defe& in 
your argument. For it 1s not true 
that we are in as good a condition as 
thoie Britons whom you call unrepre- 
fented, and who are not clectors:

for even they have this great advan- 
tage, that both the reprefentative and 
the ele&to:: pay a part of the tax, as 
well as thofe wie have no fufraze : 
whereas if the Houfe of Commons of 
England fhould tax the Americans, 
neither the reprefentatives nor the 
ele&tors would pay any proporsion of 
what they impofed upon us; they 
would not tax, but stax themfelves. 
The condition therefore of an En- 
glithman who has no fuffrage, when 
taxed by the Bniith legiflature, and 
of an American taxed by the fame 
authority, aretotally diffimilar. Place 
them in fituations which bear any fi- 
militude, and it will thew in the 
ftrongeft light, the injuftice of the 
prefent mealtues. Suppofe then that 
the parliament of Britain fhould im- 
pofe a tax, from which themfelves 
and thofe who voted for them fhould 
be exempted, and which fhould be 
paid entirely by thofe who had no 
fuffrages; this wouid bear fome re- 
femblance to their taxing the Ame- 
ricans; and would not this be un- 
paralleled injuitice? But if even this 
(unjuf as you muft efteem it) were 
the praétice of your parliament, the 
condition of a non-voting Enclifh- 
man would ftill be infinitely prefcra- 
ble to ours ; foreven fuch a tax is 
I have ftated, would fall upon the 
relations, the friends, the dependasts, 
the tenants, the manufa&turers, the 
labourers of ‘Britith leciflators. The 
legiftator would feel its effects, almott 
inttantaneoufly ; he would find his 
own intereft immediately concerned ; 
he would therefore ufe fome medera- 
tion. Befides, he is an eve-witnets 
of their condition, he can judge of 
their abilities, he can be wounded at 
the fight of their difreffs. But Le 
cannot fee our mifery, he cannot 
judge of our abilities; and his te- 
nant and his manufacturers will feel 


- the immediate effe&s of our ruin, net

in their dtitrefs, but in their exoncra- 
tion. If therefore the legiflature of 
Britain fhould adopt fuch a fyfem of 
unparalleled injuftice, with iefoe& to 
the non-voting inhabitants of Bri- 
tain, yet, even the fulferers by, and 
the obje&s of injuttice, wend be 
happy in comparifon of us. Suppote, 
for a moment, if you can bear the 
thought, fuppofe for a momert, thar 
your Houte of Commons were not 
ele&ted by you, that they were an he- 
reditary body, in no wife indebted to 
your choice; would yeu not be an

enflaved and an urhappy people: but 
even then you would be happier than 
we are. <A body of 500 men, fituat- 
ed in the midft of feven millions, and 
taxing thofe feven millions, would 
furely be more bound to moderation, 
by fear, if not by principle, than the 
fame body, affifted and fupported by 
thofe feven millions, in taxing two 
millions who are at a diftance. To 
opprefs, in one inftance, would at 
leaft be infamy, if it would not be 
punifhmenit ; in the other they might 
find it popularity, they might think 
it patiicium. Mr P—te faid, (if I 
miftake not) that every man in En- 
gland could huzza at an election : even 
that method of exprefling one’s 
wifhes, is fome fatisfaction, and has 
fome influence; the fhoutings of the 
people have had great effects; and the 
very murmurs of Englifhmen, had 
perhaps more fhare in the repeal of 
the flamp-a&, than the united voice 
of America. We cannot even buzza 
at a British ele&tion | 

‘ The right of prefenting petitions 
to parliament was deemed of fo 
much importance, that it was inferted 
in the bill of rights. In this funda- 
mental right, the bulwark againtt par- 
liamentaty oppreffion, as weil as every 
other, under what difadvantages fhould 
we labour, if you were to make laws 
for us? How different is the effect 
of a petition prefented by the hands 
of the injured; enforced by their afli- 
duity, and recommended by their 
tears, from that of our paper-repre- 
fentations? They are fubje&t to be 
milreprefented in a thoufand ways. 

‘ They come cold, and you do not 
feel them ; often too Jate, and you 
cannot comply with them ; and what 
was done by you through inattention 
and miftake, muft be maintained for

home, cither upon your caution or 
your kindnefs, your affeétions, or your 
fears. In this particular the very 
women and children of England have 
an influence upon parliament, of 
which the Americans are deftitute. 
How different isgyour lot from ours !

They will with to gain the favour of 
their countrymen, and therefure will 
burthen America in order to difbur- 
then England. What to you is a 
valuable priviledge, will be tous 2 
fource of repeated oppreffion. We 
are worfe even than your papifts. In 
being excluded from the right of fuf- 
frage, they are like us; and as they 
pay double land-tax, in that additio- 
nal payment the refemblance conti- 
nues ; for it is a tax impofed by men 
whom they had no fhare in electing, 
and itis a tax which thofe who im- 
ofe itdo not pay. But this difabi- 
Fity in point of faffrage, and this ad- 
ditional payment, are penalties inflict 
ed on your papiits 3; and why? Alle- 
giance as by law required is a quality 
effential to being a fubject. Your 
papifts are defective in that quality: 
They are confidered as not complete- 
ly fubje&s, and, as fuch, penalties 
are inflicted on them. Your only 
juftification for infli&ting thefe penal- 
ties on them, is that you doubt their 
being fubjeéts. Your only pretence 
for inflicting the fame penaltics on us, 
is that we are fubjcéts, Same penal-

we cannot hy a difcontinuation of of- .

ing a proteftant, can free himfelf

taxation: but we cannot free our- 
felves from this mifery, but by ceafng 
to be Americans. Belides, in every

rican plea is not reprefented, is taxed 


at the rate of ten pounds a year for 
going every day in his carriage to and 
again from Clapham to the Exchange 
by thofe who pay not a filling ; if 
this be defended upon’ principles of 
common benefit, the very defence is an 
allowance of the power, ‘ The pare 
‘ liament of Great Britain, {ays the 
‘ famous Mr Otis, has undoubted 
power, and lawful authority, to make 
adts for the general good, which by 
aming the cofonics, hall, and ought 
to be equally binding, as upon the 
© fubjef&s of Great Britain within the 
* realm: But itis abfurd to fuppole 
that the power to lay a tax can depend 
upon the purpofe for which it is laid, 
being confonant or contrary to the 
neral good, becaufe cither this quettion 
will be undeterminable, or in thofe who. 
determine it will includp the power. 
‘The American alfo in his plea, pre- 
tends that he is in a worfe condition 
than the papifts in England. The pa- 
pifts, fays he, are excluded from a right 
of fofarge like us, and as they pay 
double land tax, in that additional pane 
ment the refemblance continues, for it 
is a tax impofed by men whom they 
had no fhare in eleGiing, and it is a tax 
which thole who impofe it do not pay, 
but the papift fuffers for fuppoted dif 
affetion, we fuffer the fame penalties 
though no difaffeétion is imputed; the 
papi alfo may deliver himfelt by be- 
coming 2 prote(tant, but the American 
cannot debver him{elf by becoming an 
Englifhman. Lo 
There iss however, this effential dif- 
ference between the papift in England 
who pays a penalty, and the American 
who paysatax. The papitt here pays 
all the taxes which thofe who impo: & 
double tax upon him contribute to pay, 
befides fuch double tax, but the Ame- 
rican does not; the papitt pays more 
than cther fubjects, the American leis. 
‘This author proceeds to confider the 
expediency of the meafure in queftion 
fupyofing it to be conftitutional ; while 
their garrifons, fays he, are filled with 
our foldiers, their harbours with our

they derive from us a degree of free- 
dom, we fhail be fecure, both by our

we retain an abfolute power over their

But will it afford us as much prefent -

ed; we know that this nation has paid 
confiderable taxes, without any com- 
pulfion ; and we know that free nations 
can fupport greater burdens, than na-

that even our prefer.t emoluments would 
be the Jefe, if weextort nothing from

we fecure the allegiance of the willing,

bie to ourfelves. Let us ailo confider 
with how much greater eagernefs our 
manufactures will be yurchaied, by a 
grateful, than by +n exaiperated people. 
We are now at peace with the world ; 
the moft rigorous meafures may [uc- 
"ceed, for the prefent; but fuch mea- 
fures arc not the molt eligible in them- 
felves, when conducive neither to pre- 
dene advantage, nor future fecurity. 

Let it content us, that the fea, the 
con:mon benefit of mankind, may be 
denied them, that the labour of their 
hands, the firength and the ingenuity 
which nature has beltowed upon them, 
fhall be converted to our purpofes;

6. A Difcourfe delivered at the open- 
ing of the Royal Academy, Fan. 2, 1769 
by the Prefident. 

In this difcoutfe, Mr Reynolds, after 
congratulating the members of the aca- 
demy upon its eftabliftiment by the mu- 
nificence cf his majefly, obferves, that it 
will at leaf contribute to advance the 
knowledge of the arts, and bring us 
nearet to that ideal excellence which it 8s 
the lot of Genius always to contem- 
plate, and never to attain, This fen- 
timent none but a genius, confcious to 
the idea of unattainable perfection, and 
a perpetual effort to approach it, could 
have conceived. Thotfe who are fatis- 
fied, either with what they produce. 
themfelvcs, or even with what they {ce 
produced by others, will ftop far fhort 
No produéti- 
on of art, however fuperior to what we 
can produce at the time, fhould be con- 
fidered as the bound ; yet, if we pafs 
it, we muft firft reach it by regular ap- 
proaches, and with this diftinétion in 
vicw, we fhall find Mr Reynolds's 
rules to confider the works of great 
mziters as a pattern, and minutely and 
laborioully to copy mature, as perfe&ly 
compatible. It is from an acquaint- 
ance with nature that we are to form 
conceptions, frum the ftudy of art we 
aie to learn in what manner they may 
be beft expreffed. ‘* By attending to 
great examples of the art, fays Mr Rey- 
nolds, genius will find materials with- 
out which, the ftrongeft intellect may 
be fruitleisly or devioufly employed : 
by ftudying thefe authentic models, 
thofe beautics which were the gradual 
refult of the accumulated experience of 
palt ages, may be acquired at once ;

the fludent réceives at one glance, the 
principles which many artifts have {pent 
their whole lives in afcertaining.” 

The following obfervation is equally 
curious and juft. ‘ Every feminary of 
Jearning may be faid to be furrounded 
by an atmofphere of floating know- 
ledge, where every mind miy gather 
femething congenial to its own original 
conceptions. Knowledge, thus ob- 
tained, has always fomething more po- 
bular and ufeful, than that which is 
forced upon the mind by private pre- 
cepts or folit meditation. Befides, 
It is generally found, that a youth more 
eafily receives inflruflicns from the com- 
pastons of Lis fludies, wwbele minds are 
nearly upon a level with bis own, than 
Sroz thofe whe are much bis fupertors ; 
and it is from his equals only, that be 
catches the fire of emulation, which wiil 
not a little contribute to his advance- 
ment.”’ _ 

Whatever produces fedulous applica- 
tion, tends immediately to produce ex- 
cellence, and perhaps, what is called 
genius for particular employments and 
purfuits, may be refolved wholly invo a 
a tafte, a liking for this or that object, 

ju as arbitrary and as independant of 
sntellegtual ftrength, as a liking of dif- 
ferent fruits, which by making labour 
pleating, produces a more intenfe appli- 
cation, longer conti:.ued than the agent 
could otherwife be biought to endure. 
With the fame degree of application, 
excellence will be in proportion to ali- 
lity, but the determination of ability to 
@ particular labour, fees to depend 
wholly upon tafte, and not upon a {pe- 
cific difference in the ability or power 
itfelf, as has been generaily imagined. 

Mr Reynolds, having semarked, that 
we, having nothing to aalearc, poflti., 
at leaft, one advantage, which no other 
nation can boaft, procceds tu Jay down 
rules by which we may learn with in sit 
advantage, which are in fubftance as 
follow. 

An implicit obedience to the rudes of 
ert, as eftablifhed by the pratiice of the 
great maiters, fhould be exacted from 
the young ftudents. And every oppor- 
tunity fhould be taken to difounte- 
nance that falfe and vulgar op:nion, 
that ruics are the fetter» of genius; 
they are fetters only w men of no ge- 
uius; as that annour, which upon the 
ttrong becomes an ornament and 2 de- 
fen-z, upon the weak and misihapen 
tums into a luad, and cripples the body 
which it was made to protect. 

How much liberty may be taken to 


break through thofe rules, and, as the 
poet expreffes it, 
To fnatch a grace beyond the reach of art, 
may be an after confideration, whien the 
pupils become matters therofelves. /¢ 
ts then, when their genius has received 
its utmoft improvemest, that rules may 
be difpenjed with; but let us not defir 
the fe old until we bave raifed the 
building. 

_ The cire&ors ought mere particular- 
iy to watcn over the genius of thofe ftu- 

ents, who, being more advanced, are 
arrived at that critical period of ftudy, 
on the nice management of which their 
future turn of.tafte depends. 

Acthat age it is natural for them to 
be more captivated with what is brilli- 
ant than what is folid, and to prefer 
fplendid negligence to painful and hu- 
miliating exaétnefs. 

A facility in compofing, a lively, 
and what is called a malterly handling 
the chalk or pencil, are, it muft be con- 
felled, captivating qualities to young 
minds, and become of courfe the objects 
of their ambition ; they endeavour to 
imitate thofe dazzling excellencies, 
which they will find no great Jabour in 
attaining. After much time fpent in 
thefe frivolous purfuits, the difficulty 
will be to retreat; but it will be then 
too late; and there is {carce an inftance 
of return to fcrupulous labour, after 
the mind has been reluxed and debauch- 
ed by thefe delightful trifics. . 

By this ufclets dexterity they are ex 
cluded from al: power of advancing in 
real excellence. Whilft boys, they are 
arrived at their utmoft perfection ; they 
have taken the fladow for the fubftance, 
and make that mechanical facility, the 
cuief excellence of the art, which is on- 
ly an ornament, and of the merit of 
which few but painters theméfelves are 
judges, 

But young men have not only this 
frivulous ambition of being thought 
maitzrly inciting them on one hand, 
but alfo their natural floth tempting 
them on the other; they are terrified at 
the ;:uipe& before them, of the toil re- 
quired to attain exactnels. They with 
to find fome fhorter path to excellence, 
aud hope to obtain the reward of emi- 
wence by other meang, than thafe which 
the indifpenfable rules of art have pre- 
{cribed. They muft therefore be told 
again and again, that /abour is the only 
price of juft fame, and tiat whatever 
their force of genius may be, there is.

ing affiduity the moft eminent painters 
urfued their ftudies, we need only re- 

& on the method of proceeding in 
their moft celebrated works. When 
they had conceived a fubjeét, they firtt 
made a variety of fketches, then a finifh- 
ed drawing of the whole ; after that a 
more correct drawing of every feperate 
part, heads, hands, feet, and pieces of 
drapery ; then they painted the piéture, 
and after all re- touched it from the life. 
"The pictures, thus wrought with fuch 
pain, now appear like the effect of en- 
chantment, as if fome mighty genius 
had ftruck them off at a blow. 

The ftudents, inftead of vying with 
each other which thall have the readieft 
hand, fhould be taught to contend who 
thall have the pure and moft corre® out- 
dines inftead of ftriving which fhall 
produce the brighteft tint, or, curioufly 
trifling, endeavour to give the glofs of 
ftuffs, fo as to appear real, let their am- 
bition be direéted to contend, which 
fhall difpofe his drapery in the moft 
graceful folds, which thall give the moft 
grace and dignity to the human figure. 

In none of the academies that I have 
vifited, the ftudents draw exa@tly from 
the living models which they have be- 
fore them. It is not indeed their in- 
tention, nor are they directed ta do it. 


Their drawings refembie the model on- ° 


2 in the attitude. They change the 
orm aceording to their vague and ur- 
certain ideas of beauty, and make a 
drawing rather of what they think the 
figure ought to be, then of what it ap- 
pears. 
that has fopt the progrefs of many 
young men of real genius; and I very 
much doubt, whether a habit of: draw- 
ing correfily what we fee, will not give 
& proportionable power of drawing cor- 
rectly what we imagine. He who en- 
deavours to copy nicely the figure be- 
fore him, not only acquires a habit of 
exactnefs and preeifion, but is continu- 
ally advancing in his - knowledge of the 
human figure ; and though he feems to 
fuperficial obfervers to make a flower 
progrels he will be found at laft capa- 
le of adding (without running into 
capricious wildnefs) that grace and 
beauty, which ie neceflary to be given 
to his more finifhed works, and which 
cannot be got by the moderns, as tt was 
wot mequired yy we weaved fudy ¥ “

from one model ; and the habit he had 
of drawing exaftly from the form be- 


' fore him, appears by his making all the 


figures with the fame cap, fuch as his 
model then happened to wear; fo fer- 
vile a copyift was this great man, even 
at a time when he was allowed to be at 
his higheft pitch of excellence. 

I have feen alfo academy figures by 
Annibale Caracci, though he was often 
fufficiently licentious in his finifhed 
works, drawn with all the péculiarities 
of an individual model. 

This method can only be detrimental 
when there are but few living forms to 
copy; fer then ftudents, ‘3 always 
drawing from one alone, will by habit 
be taught to overlook defeéts, and mif- 
take deformity for beauty. But of this 
objection there is no danger; fince the 
council has determined to f{upply the 
Academy with a variety of fubjects. 

This difcourle certamly does honour 
to the prefident asa painter, if any ho- 


‘nour cah be added to that which he has 


acquired by his pencil; it has befides 
great merit as a literary compofition.

Falfe and faithlefs are both epithets 
of pride in the firft verfe, but furely 
pride that is falfe is faithleis, and pride 
that is faithlefs falfe ; when we fay the

are conneéted with the term; this co-

burning is not a proper epithet. He re- 
prefents the wind that roars round the

which for a fortnight paft he had been

eight days he had been feized with a

efpecially towards the ring, which feem- 
ed to be fu free, that the finger with the 
integuments might be puthed under its 
the extremity of the {welling, which 
was about the fize of an orange, was a 
tranfparent hydrocele; the complaint 
was therefore imagined to be an old 
rupture, fueceeded by a farocele and a 
hydvocele, that is a flefhy excreffence, 
and a bag filled with water, and the in- 
teitine was fuppofed to have been re- 
turned ; but after the experience of 40 
years this able turgeon was miltaken ; 
the patient died the night following, and 
upon opening the common hernial fac, 
a large portton of the inteftine was 
found in it, and thé convoluted extre- 
mity had infinuated itlelf into the fac 
of the hydrocele, which was formed of 
the vaginal coat of the tefticle. If the

HRV. On the formation of iflands 
By Alexander Dalrymple, Efq. _ 


This is an enquiry into the origin of 
iflands in general, but of the low flat 
iflands in the ocean in particular, fuch 
as moft of thofe which have been di{- 
covered in the South feas are. 

Thefe iflands are generally long and 
narrow, formed b oibar of land which 
inclofes the {ea within it, leaving a nar- 
row channel of communication, com- 
monly wide enough to-admit a canoe, 
and fometimes larger veffels; all thefe 
iflands, Mr Dalrymple fuppofe, to have 
been formed of banks of coral, which 
are found at all depths and all dittances 
from the fhore, fometimes divided by a 
marrow gut without bottom ; loofe co- 
ral rolled inward by the biilows in 
large pieces will ground, and the reflux 
not being able to carry them away, they 
become a bar and retain the fand, 
which being moft eafily raifed will be 
Jodged at the top. When the fand 
bank, by violent ftorms is railed beyond 
the reach of common waves, it becomes 
a reftipg place to birds, drawn thither 
in fearch of prey; the dung and fea- 
thers increafe the foil, and prepare it 
for the reception of accidental roots, 
branches, and feed, caft up by the waves, 
and brought thither by the birds: thus 
fays Mr Dalrymple, iflands are formed : 
the leaves and rotten branches inter- 
mixing with the fand, form, in time, a 
light black mould, of which in general 
thefe iflands confit, more fandy as lefs 
woody; and when full of large trees, 
with a greater proportion of mould, 
cocoa nuts, which will continue long in 
the fea without lofing their vegetative 
powers are commonly to be found in all 
fuch iflands, which might the rather be 
expected, as they are adapted to all 
foils, whether fandy, rich, or rocky. 

It is further obferved, that the yio- 
lence of the waves within the tropics, 
muf generally be dire€&ted to two pots, 
according to the monfoons ; for this 
reafan the iflands formed by coral banks 
mult be Jong and narrow, and be nearly

XXXVIIT. An attempt to deterniine 
the beight of the Sun's atma/phere frem 
the height of the folar ‘ts above bis 

Surface : By the Rev. Mr Herfiey. 

This article being a feries of geome- 
trical rexfoning, cannot be abridged, 
The re‘ult is a great probability that 
the fun’s atmolphere is 3108 tines as 
high in proportien to his femidiameter 
as ours, ond will rife to the diftance of 
mo.: thun four-thirds of bis femidia- 
metcr fic. his furface. ’ 

Let philofopbers confider then, fays 
Mr Horfley, whether thefe indications 
of the vaft heipbt of the fun’s atmo- 
{phere give any degree of probability to 
a conjefure of Sir Ifsac Newton, tha 
the diffipation of the fun's fubftance, 
which might be expected from his in- 
tenfe heat, may in great part be pre-. 
vented by the prodigious preffure of the 
incumbent atmofphere. , 

XXXIX. Obfervations of the Eclipse 
of the Sun on the 16th.of Auguft 17665, 
at Caen in Normandy. By Nat. Pigot, 
Efg. This cannot be abridged. 

XL. Obfervations on the animal na- 
ture of the genus of Zoophytes, called Ce- 
rallines. By Fobn Ellis, Efg. 

This is an attempt to confute the opinion 
which many celebrated naturalift, have maine 
tained that the corallines of Linnzeus have no 
participation of animal nature, but are true 
plantsof the genus of Conferva. Mr Ellis 
has treated thofe who differ from him in opis 
nion with a politenefs which docs him great 
honour, cfpecially as there has been few 
conuoverfies even in philofophy that have not 
difgraced both parties as men. Mr Ellis re- 
lates fome chemical experiments, which liav- 
ing been made with great fkill and accuracy, 
prove, contrary to experiments relazed by his 
antazonifty, that the corallines in queftion, 
co: tain animal oil and volatile falt, and there- 
fore cannnt belong to the vegetable kingdom. 
Mr E'lis defines a Conferva to be © a 

plant with jointed filaments, either fingle 
or branched, bearing fiuit, which are dif- 
pofed in cifferent ways.’ 

He defines a corralline to be ‘ an animal 
growing in the form of a plant, whofe ftem 
is fixed tu other bodies ; and compofed of 
capillary tubes, whofe ex..emities pafs 
thro’ acalcariuus cruft, aud “pen into pores 
on the furface. The branches are often 
jointed, nd always fubdivided into fmaller 
branches, which are either loufe and un- 
“ connc@ed, or formed as if they were 
€ glued together.’ : xX.

With heav'aly glow hath fluth’d the pale -fac'd 


Oh! rofe-lip’d Virgin ! are thy footfteps feen,

For'all their luftre, all their fire is fled : 

Nor can the Fair One Jong the lofs furvive, 

*Till Thou ber charms reftore, and keep thofe

Oh, fawrite of the human race!

Difpenfing gracious boon when thou art nigh!

And looks around him with a joyful eye ; 
While Grief, who like a fkeleton appears, .

At thy falute, thy friendly touch, 
Th'enfeebled mortal o’er his crutch 
No longer bends, but fiands ere& at length ; 
Sudden he feels with dear furprize 
Each fibre fretch, each mutcle rife, 
And looks che figure of elaftic ftrength. 
Wielding his club, Alcides like, he goes, 
Surveys his brawny limbs, and {carce himfelf

Cornwall, recommended the re-ele@ion of 
Mr Wilkesin a very elegant and animated 
{peech, in which he obferved, that he had 
never feen or fpoken to Mr Wilkes before 
his late expulfion ;'that he regarded his 
caufe folely as the caufe of the people, di- 
vefted.of every perfonal confideration and 
conne@tion ; chat the oppreffion and Injurics 
which Mr. Wilkes had fuffered were fuffi- 
cjent te rouze the indignation of every man 
that had one ¢r-rerous fentiment in his breaft, 


or the leatt fenfe of freedom and regard for | 


the conftitution. And thac he would affert 
the right of the freeholders to the choice of 
their reprefentatives, by going to give his 
vote for Mr Wilkes in cafe of future expul- 
fions, as long as he fhould have a thilling 
Jefc, or one leg to hop down to Brentford. 

'  Jehn Sawbridge, Efq; member for Hithe 
in Kent, feconded this motion with great 
{p:rit, concluding with the words of Mr 
Wilkes's addrefs ; ‘ that if once the miniftry 
€ thall be permicced to fay whom the free- 
© holders fthall not chufe, the next ftep 


‘ will be to tell them whom they thal , 


© chufe.’ 

The next day a letter appeared in the pa- 
pers, addreffed to John Wilkes, Efq; in 
thefe words ; ; 

“¢ Sir, I chink you are, without exception, 
the moft 
univerfe ; for you are (according to fome 
people) fomebody, and yet nobcdy? You 
gre an honeft man, and yet have not bonefty 
enough to pay your debts : you are the pa- 
¢riot of liberty, and vet want liberty : you 
are amember of parliament, and you are not 
g member of parliament: you are an alder- 
man, and you are not analderman: then you 
are analderman again. Youarea bad man 
in private, anda good man in public : you 
have a great many friends, anda great many 
enemies: you area material witnefs, yet no 
witnefs ; ard, in fhorc, you a:e every thing, 


qnd nothing.”

Adareffs from the Univerfities to bis Majefty. 


To the King’s moff exccliceat: Majefy. 
Moft Kracioug S.werciga, : 

‘XK 7 E your majetty's m-ft loyal and faith- 
. ful fubed&ts, the-‘chanccllor, mafiers, 
and fcholais of che Upiverfty of Oxford, in furl 
copyncacion affembi'd, humbly defire to ap- 
proach your throne with hears full of dutiful 
affefion to yous royal perfon, ard impreffed 
with a moft grateful fenfe of the tavaluable 
bleffing derived tw thefe nations from the prefer- 
vation and free enjoyment of thofe civil and re- 
Tigious rights,. which have been the creat and 
conGant objedts of your majefty’s paternal care 
end.conducr. 

The ineretts of true religion aod liberty, 
fo effentially incerwoven with our excedienc 
explain, claim the peculiar ettention of 
thig feminary, which has lone fubfitted under 
thelr infuence, and canonly flourith under their 


ion. 

But when the facred name of liberty is pro- 
Gikuced te thd define of faAion and fedition, 
and converted into. an eagine of party rage to 
defitoy chat glorious fabric, of which ic is the 
ormament and fupport; fych unjuftifiable més. 
fures become more dangerous and alarming by 
the fpecious and fair appespances under which 
they are difguifed ; and, unlcfs feafonahly de- 
feared, raay terminate in that mia of our happy 
gonflimtion, which the fad experience or former 
times has caught us to dread. 

We cannot therefore withoy anxiety and con- 
aern, behold the repcated attempts formed by 
men, whofe climouts again? imazinary abufes 
of their conflicutional rights and privileges, un- 
des pretence of preferving inviolace our civil 
liberties, tend co raife a {pirit of difcosd and tu- 
meat emong your faithtul fubjes, in open de- 
Gance of juftice and legal authority, and in vi- 
lation of the peace and good orger of govern- 
ment, fo happily eQablithed undes your majefty’s 
yoyal prote@ion. 

We have feen the ccyrfe of executive juflice 
daringly obftryéed, and every «an of the le- 
giliative power infulted and reviled ; we have 
{cen every art of malice and falihoad employ- 
ed to deftroy all reverence for magi@racy and 
confidence in government ; we fee the daily 
and unremitted indignities offered tu she mof 
wenerable and facred perfunagcs : we therefore 
think ourfelves bound, by every tie, focial, ci- 
vil, and religious, by every principle of cop- 
fcientious duty, to exprefs our hearty abhor- 
rence of fuch violent and unconftitutional pro- 
ceedings 3 and to affure your majefty, that it 
bas ever been, and fill is, the conftant ubje& 
of our unwearied care, to inftill into the minds 


Of che youth of this place, the genuine princi- 
| eg? The many interefting Occurrences that bave happened in the Corfe 


ples of religion and libercy ; the fecurity ef 
which (under god) effentially depends upon the 
fafety of your majekty's perfon, the dignky of 
your crown, and the authority of the laws ip 
the due and vigorous execution of which, true 
confi utional liberty confifts, and by which alone 
it can be fupported. 

And we farther beg leave to aflfure your mar 
jefty, that nothing fhail be wanting on our part to 
difecuncenance i: religion and profanénefe. We 
have been always fentble of theirevil tendency 
to fap the principles of loyalty to the k 
and abcaience to magiftsacy, and to diffeive e- 
very tic of duty, afe@ion, and allegiante ; 
but we are now fully convinced of their growing 
influence, by the dangerous affociatigns . 
men, who, under epi nel shag of 

uprorang our r rivi » are, 
prorting our rig p : rend 


their principles and praGices, the real 
ers of them. 
To the King’s moft-Excelient Majefty, 
Moff gracious Sonrcign, 
KJ E your majefy’s 
fubletis he. 
{cholars of your Uni 
bly beg leave to expyefs the grateful fenfe we 
have ot your majefly’s conftant and unwearied 
attertion to promote the happinefs of all your 


ncellor, mafters, and 


people. . 
Folly convinced that this or any other nation 
never enjoyed the valuable bleffings of civil and 
religious liberty na greater degree than whae 
we experience under your majefty’s mild and 
moft gracious government ; we cannot but fee, 
with concern and abhorrence, the evil defigns 
of bad men, who, undcr fpetious pretengs 
of promoting the public good, are labouring 
to feduce the ignorant and unwary fr 
their duty, by infufing into their minds nee 
fears and jealoufies, as if the conffitution wés 
in danger. toe, 
Weiruft, it ever has been our conftant ea- 
deavour, aod humbly entreat your majefty’s 
favourable acceptance of our moft faithfut alr 
furances, that it ever thal! be our particular care 
to inftill into the rifiog gencration committed ta 
eur charge, true princip'es of religion and loys 
alty, and fuch a fence of graticude for your mae 
jetty’s royal prote@iion of this feac of learning, 
as will tend tomake them good citizens and good 
fubje@s, and fully to anfwer the ends of ow 
inft.cution, . 
To this teftimony of our duty and fideliry, 
we fhall add our unfcigned prayers to cha

Mr Unsany, 


N reviewing the 
records of for- 
mer times ref- 


peéting the an- 






¢| cleétions to pir- 
liament, I was 
(truck ‘particu- 
Flarly with the 
= = Bale of Sit Fran- 
“cis Gondayyn, elegted a knight of the 
Shire for the county of Buckingham in 
1604, in oppofition to Sir Jobm Ferle/- 
cus, 2 placeman, and one of his mi 
"s privy council. ‘ 
ey this’ eledtion, the voice of the 
freeholders was almoft univerfally for 
Goedauyn, a few juttices only excepted, 
who were faintly heard for Fortefeue! 

‘The numbers upon the poll were for 

. Goedauyn 300. For Forteexe 60. But 
notwi:handing this great majority, and 
What the poll was clofed only becaufe the 
‘majority was increafing ; the return of 
the fheriff for Sir Francis was refufed 
by the clerk of the crown, 2 new writ 
was iffued out of chancery hy the king's 
order, and Sir Fobn Forte/cue, upon this 
Second writ, was eleéted without oppo- 
tion. 

Upon the meeting of parliament, Sir 
William Flectwoad, the other member 
“for Bucks, complained to the Houfe of 

this undue proceeding, and obtained an 
order for the clerk of the crown to’at- 
_ tend, and to bring with him all the writs 
of fummor:s, indentures, and returns for 
the county of Backingham, iffued and 
returned for the then fitting parliament, 
and at the fame time it was sefolved, 
that Sir Francis Goodwyn fhould have 
feave to ftate his cafe at large with his 
‘own mouth before the Houle, : 
Sir Francis heing informed of this 
indulgence, and ¢eeuding the difpleafure 
of the hingy wi have declined the 
tak; but his cafe being now the cafe 
‘of the whole kingdom, he was com- 
mapaded go attend ; aud being prelled

“fufing the theritf's return in favouriof 
Sir Francis, anfwered,; that Sit Praacis 
was an outlaw upon record, and there 
fore he refufed to enter the return” 

Upon this plea, a very warm debate 
enfued, many precedents were quutéd, 
by which it appened, that oushaed: 
xpom perfonal adtions had never‘ biden 
held a difqualification to fit and vote'in 
that Houfe; that in former reigns in- 

“ftances to the contrary were many ; and 
that fo late as the reign of her late ma- 
jet. of glorious niemory Sir’ Frafcis 

jimfelf had been ele&ted 2 member, and 
had been permitied to fit and vote in 

Parlamene fince this pretended outlavi 

ad been profecuted again him. This 
plea, therefore, appearing to the Houfe 

“to be taken up with nd other view than 

a8 a pretence to vacate his eleétion,’ it 
wad over-ruled, and the queftion put, 
‘Whether Sir Francis Goadwwyx wastaw- 
fully eleéted and ieturned one of the 
knights of the Shire for Buckingham ? 
It‘paffed in the uffismative, the élerk 
of the crown was ordered to file the firt

derived from himfelf, it was not to be 
expetted that ne would patiently Suffer 
the priviledge of parliament to opers‘e 
againit his fervants. He had been told 
by old lawyers and court fycophants, 
that the Commons had noright to med- 
dle with returns ; that writs béing iffu- 
ed by the cierk, of the crown, and re- 
turndgle into Chancery, the right of 
correcting and reforming thefe returns, 
of courfe belonged to thé court into 
' Which they were returned; that the 
matter of oxtladury had ever been held 
by the judges of the realm, a Sufficient 
caufe of exclufion from fitting and aé&- 
ing in that Houfe; and that the prece- 
dents adduced tp the contrary, were 
from the times of minors, of tyrants, 
of women, or fimple kings ; and were 
therefore not-to be regarded. His ma- 
jefty, therefore, iniifted that the right of 
Sir Fravcis to it in the Houfe fhould be 

re-debated ; that a comference fl.ow'd be 
held with the Lords upon the ;oint of 
" privilege; and; finally, that the whole 
_ Claim fhould be argued in the royal pre- 


fence, before his inajefty’s council and ° 


judges, by a {cleé&t number of the grav.

. His majefty’s pleafure being made 


known to the Houte, a debate enfued ; © 


the form of the writ was taken into 
' confideratian, nicely examined, and ad- 
mitted to be good ; the writ itfelf was 


allowed to be duly iffued, and the pro- | 


ceedings upon it were found in evéry 
refpeét conformable to ancient. ufage in 
writs of the like kind; it was therefore 
Srgued, that iF the free eleétion of the 
country were taken away, and none to

it was rclo.ved, that they fhould in ng

the procecdings of their Houle; but 
that ws his majefty had conceived him- 
felf cngaged and touched ih honour, it 
was moved that Mr Speaker thould be 
a fuitor to his majefty tor accefs, and 
that he thould humbly reprefent to his 


_ majefty, in the name of the commens of 


England, that now the judgment of Sir 
Francis Good-wyn'é cate having pafied 
the Houfe, it could not, nor ought not 
to be reverfed by them. This mation 
was feconded and agreed to, and the 
{peaker waited upon Kis majefty accor- 
ingly, but without eftct. His miajet- 
ty infifted; that the courte aheady taken 
ould be seported; that they fhould |! 
debate the matter farther; and refolve 
among themielves; that they fhoyld 
admit of conference with the judges ; 
and that all the proceedings fhould be 
reported to his majcfty’s council. This 
produced a very Jong and very warm 
ebate ; and in the end it was refolved 
toreduce the fenfe of the Houfe into 
articles, and 4 committee was appointed 
for that purpofe, with power to fend 
for any officer, to view and feaich an 
record, or other thing of that kind,

thought to oftend your majefty ; at 
whofe feet we fliall ever lie proftrate,

your majefty better {rtisfaction, 

There were objeéted again us by 

our majefty and your reverend judges, 
Jour things to impeach our proceedings 
_ in receiving Sir Francis Goodwyn into 
our Howfe,”"—The fubftance of thefe 

objedtions, with the an{wers, here fol- 
. Jow:; 
_ Obje. 1. That we afflumed to our- 
felves the power of examining the elec- 
tions and returns of Knights and Bur- 
geffes, which belonged to your majefty’s 
Chancery, and not to us; for that all 
returns of writs were examinable in the 
courts wherein they ave returnable, &c. 

Our humble an{wer, is, that until 7 
_ Aenry IV. all parliamentary writs were 
returnable into parliament, and confe- 
quently the returns examinabie there 5 
_ and though in that year, a ftatute was 
made in which a claufe was inferted, 
requiring the returns of all ele&ions to 
be ix cancellarium noffram, yet the pow- 
er of the pa:liament to examine and de- 
termine elections, has ever fince re- 
mained, of which many edents are 
now upon record®. The inconveni- 
ence would be great indeed, if the 
Chancery might, upon {uggeftions, or 
fheriffs returns, fend for new eleétions, 
and thofe not fubjcét to examination in 
parliament; for fo, when fit men were 
chofen by the counties and boroughs, 
the Lord Chancellor or the Sheriffs, 
might difplace them, and fend out new 
wrifs antl fome were cbhofen to their 
hiking ; a thing dangerous in prece- 
dent wn the time to come. 

Obje. 2. That we dealt in th:s 
caufe with too much precipitation, an

other Half, notwithftanding they prayed. 
itof ud. 

Our humble anf{wer, is, to the preci- 
pitation, that we entered into this caufe 
as in other parliaments of like cafes 
hath been accuftomed. For lack of 
refpe&t to your majetty, we confefs, with 

ief of our hearts, we are right forry 
it fhould be fo conceived, protefting, 
that it was no way made known unto us 
before fentence was paffed, that yor 
majefty had taken to yourfelf any fpe- 
cial notice, or diieéted any courfe in 
that caufe, otherwife than the awarding 
writs by your highuc(e's officers in that 
behalf; but if we had known as much 
by your majefty's royal mouth, we 
would not without your majefty’s pri- 
vity have proceedcd in that manner. 
And as concerning conference with the 
Lords, there was none delired till after 
our fenterice palfed, and then we thought 
that in a matter private to our own 
Houle, though we are but part of a 
body in making laws, yet for any mat- 
ter of priviledge, we are, and ever have 
been, a court of ourfelves, of fufficient 
power to difcern and determine without 
thei Lordhhips, as their Lordhhips have 
ufid always to determine without us, 

Objed?. 3. That we have, by our fen- 
tence of receiving Goodavyn, admitted, 
that outlaws may be makers of laws, 
which is contrary to all laws. 

Our humble anfwer is, that notwith- 
ftanding numberlefs piecedents of ad- 
mitting and retaining outlaws in perfo- 
nal aétions, in the Houfe of Commons, 
and that none were ever remitted for 
that caufe; yet we received fo great 
fatisfa&tion from your Royal Majefty's 
own mouth, moie than before in that 
point we heard or did conceive, that 
we forthwith prepared an a& to pale 
the Houfe, that all cutlaws henceforth 
thal) ftand difabled to feive in patlia- 
ment. Butas to Goodwyz, it did noe 
appear to ut, upon examination, that 
he flocd an outlaw by the laws of En- 
gland, at the time of his ele&tion, there 
being no record cf any fuch outlawry, 
except by acietk lately come into of- 
fice, who hath now, many years after 
the tiniz, and fince his elcétion, made 
cnutre, snteriined with a new hand, 
that he was outlawed, to which entries 
we could give ro credit, for ‘thre the

the two general pardons by parliament, 
which-has cleared the outlawry in truth 
.and fubftance if any were, we. were of 
opinion, and fo your majefty’s moft re- 
verend judges would have been if they 
had known thus much, that Goodwyn

ele&ted or ferve in parliament. 

Objef. 4. That we procecded to ex- 


‘s@mine the fa& of the outlawry, and 


ve our fentence upon that; whereas 
“we ought to have been bound by the 
heriffe return of outlawry from further 


' examining whether the party were out- 


- -+Jawed or not. 


~ Our humble anfwer is, That the pre- 


 ‘eedents cited before, in our anfwer to 


,the firft abje&ion, do prove the ufage of 


’ the Commons Houfe to examirie the 


Fa&s relative to eleGions and returns ; 

twhich difcreet proceeding, there is 
avoided that great inconvenience of giv- 
ing liberty to theriffs, by making untrue 
returns, to make and remove whom 
ghey Jif. 

Thus, in all humility, we have pre- 
fented to your moft excellent miajefty 
the grounds and rcafons of onr late ac- 
tion, lead with no affeftions, but guided 
by truth, warranted in our conf{cicnces, 
imitating precedents, maintaining our 


, ancient privileges, honouring your moft - 


excellent majefty in all our fervices, to 
which, in all loyalty and devetion, we 
bind us and ours forever, praying dai- 


ly on the knees of our hearts, to the « 


najefty of the Almighty, that your 
msyefty and your pofterity, may, in all 


’ felicity, reign over us and ours, to the 


end of the world. 
Thele.rcafons, thus fet, down, having 


' Been read in the Houle, were approved, 


apd a meffage was tint to the Lords, 
that they woe ready to be delivered ; 


_ to,whice the Loids returned for anfwer, 
' that they wopld be ready in the Coun- 


cil.chdiahér zt, four o'clock that afrer- 
roomy (Apt 4, 1624,) to rective the 
ame; at wheels time the committee ap- 
pointed for that porpofe did attund, and 
sir Prancis Baten de\jvered the writing, 
with defire that their Lordihips would 
he medjatorsin ben df ot the Houle for 
his majefly’s fatisf.ction. 
Two days aftcr the delivery of this 
writing, the Houle received a meffage 
from vis majchy by the mouth of their 
fpeaker, importing, thac he had received 
« patebnient from the Houle; that he

and the matter, had heard his judges 
and confulted his couricil 3 that he was 
now more diftra&ed in his judgment 
than ever; and therefore, for his fur- 
ther fatista&tion, he defired and com- 
manied as an abfelute king, and upon 
their allrviance, that there might bé a 
conference between the Howtd and the 
judges; and for that purpofe, tliere 
might be a icleét conimittee uf grave 
atid learned perfuns out of the Houle ; 
that his council might be prefent, not as 
umpires to determine, but as hearers td |

Upon this unexpett:d metlage, a pro- 
found filence enfaed ; at lengeh a mem-

began to enter more deeply into the af~

but the fpeaker, to avoia a debate of {6 
dclicate 2 nature, put the queftion whe- 
ther to confer with the judges in pre- 
fence of the king and council? It was 
refolved in the affirmative, and a fele& 
committee initantly named for the con- 
ference, confifting of one and twerity

Corinth. vii. 14. With refpeét to the 
avour of God in another world; the 
infant that dies is as fafe without bap- 
tifm as with it, the parent only will 
bear the blame and punifhment of their 
negle& of a plain and ufeful appoint- 
ment of Chri Baptifm is only an ex- 
ternal token of ‘admiffion into the 
church of Chrift and the privileges of 
the gofpel, and is on this account only, 
not to be repeated, becaufe when once 
admitted member of a fociety, it is idle 
and fuverfluous to be again admitted. 

Our firft reformers and compilers of 
the liturgy, gave too much into this 
dogtrine of Axffin’s concerning baptifm, 
and our public form ftands greatly in 
need of a revifal. The Rubric alfo 
fhould be ftruck out, which forbids 
chriftian buria) to infants dying unbap- 
tifed, which is wholly founded on this 
chimera of Aufiin's. It would prevent 
the fending for minifters in large pa- 
rifbes at unfeafonable hours to baptize 
infants, often to the danger of their 

ives; and would pacify the immoderate 
grief of parents when the miniftcr hap- 
pens to come too late, and the poor in- 
fant is dead, who can feldom be con- 
foled, whilft the church they belong to 
feems to condemn their poor infants to 
be loft for ever. 

One is much diverted to fee this wri- 
ter writhing himfelf into fo many flhapes 
tq prove'that the fign of the crofs in 
baptifm is not a popith ceremony. Why 
he fhould be fo mightily concerned to 
whitewath the ppifts in this reipe&, is 
pretty appareni ; he muft own, however, 
that they have improved upon Tertullian, 
for a true papift can do nothing without 
firft croffing himfeif. One word of holy 
fcripture howeyer, would have gone fur- 
ther with proteitants to recommend it,

with bithop Pocock’s of the fame route,

rable opinion the public was led 
to entertain oF the former, y “4 the art 
‘appearance of his book. ¢ Bifhop 
has been charged with making many of 
lus drawings from memory ; but as he 
# to have had more leifure, and to- 
taken more pains in his examina- 
tion of the different monuments he de- 
Sribes, than Mr Norden, I cannot give 
up the value of his book fo eafily 
account of the ftatuc of Memnon, com- 
gmpicated by Mr Norden to our Royal’ 
to have been a” 
new ditcovery 5 n the lofeft re- 
view of the controverfy, I cannot find 
he haz done fo much as Dr Pocock, to- 
wards determining which of the four 
fatues was the vocal one. His accaunt 
of Luxorein is very fuperficial : of Car- 
nac che fays nothing, tho’ the Bithop 
found it to be part of the Scite of 
‘Thebes, and has given a very particular 
dekeription of two magnificent temples 
there, illutrated from Strabo, which 
method of uniting antient with modern 
defcription, is the only way to come at 
truth. At Luxorein, the Bithgp gives 
a very full account of the palace and 
tomb of Ofymandoas: Mr ‘Norden only 
two diftant views of the ruins. But 
what is mof extraordinary is, that the 
editor of his papers, in his preface, asa 
frecimen of his own fidelity, obferving 
Mr. Norden, in his remarks on 
Graaves's account of this fepulchre and 
the golden circle, has referred the reader 
fo his defn for the place where the 
tirele had’ been fixed, adds, *he had

Memaonium, when, if it exits any 
where, it mut be in the low chamber

I did fo, and thereby difcovered that

vagiations above mentioned corruptions, 
he has exprcfled himfelf improperly. 
At thia rate there would be few authors 
that have not been corrupted, fince there 
are few that have not various readifgs. 
Thefe are often owing to the fault of 
tranfcribere, and fometimes to the li- 
centioufnefs of critics; and fome au- 
thors, both ancient and modem, have 
frequently publithed two or three edi- 
tions of the fame work. It is well 
known that Juftinian having publithed 
the firft edition of his Code, gave a fe- 
cond, five years after, revifed, corre&-

that this Code is entitled, Codex repe-

Ybe Fable of Hercules fwallowed by a 
Fifb, is the biftory of Sanipfon ena- 
mouréd with Dalilah. ; 

. I know not how I forgot to mentions 
in my Evangelical Demonfiration, 
the fable related by Lycophron and o- 
ther ancient authors, of Hercules be- 
ing {wallowed by a fea-dog, and kept 
three days in his bowels, trom whiah 
he came out with only use lofs of his 
hair, is the hiitory of Sampion abforbed 
in the love of Dalilah, who cut off his 
hair in order to deprive him of his 
ftrength *.

St Paul following the occupation of & 

ent maker. 

. We are told, in the Aés of the 
Apoftles, xviii. 3. that St Paul exercif- 
ed the craft of tent making, and got his 
fivelinood by it. He tays himfelf, that 

je laboured with bis own bands sight 
and day that be sight not be chargeable 
to any onet. Diogenes Laertias writes, 
that the philofopher Mienedemus, tho’ 
defeended from a noble and ancient fa- 
mily, followed the fame trade. We 
know, that parents were obliged at 
Athens to teach their children fome 
trade by which they might gain a live- 
Jihood ¢; and that the law which oblig- 
ed children to maintain their poor pa- 
sents, difcharged from this duty, fuch 
children as had not been inftruéted by 
their parents in any trade. The Athe- 
hians took this cuftom from the Jews §, 
and even at this day fome well regulat- 
ed cities in the neighbourhood of France 
allow not to any one, of what quality 
foever, the rights of a burgefs, cll he 
has made choice of fome trade, and 
heeri matriculated in the books of the 
company. Befides, it was the cuftom 
at Athens for pesfons of difinétion who 
had many flaves, te employ them on 
certain manufaturcs which produced a 
confidcrable revenue. The father of 
Demotthenes tad a workhoufe for the 
gutlers under bim, frem whence he was

The affinity of the German Language 
. with that of the Per -ans. 

& It has been Jong remarked that the 
erman langua as a t affini 
with the madetn Perfian, with r a 
both to the ir-fiections and words. Juf- 
tus Lipfius+ has colleé&ted fome of 
them. Enquiry is made for the caufe 
of this conformity : It may be acconnt- 
ed for fram their common origin, the 
Scythians. The Indians, who camé 
from the fame fource, and whom the an-. 
cients called Indo-Scythians, kept much 
oi the fame language; and thofe In- 
dian phiafes which Cectias has preferved, 
are itill found in the { modern Perfian 

tongue. 

But I obferve on the other hand, that 
the Medes sent colonies into Germany. 
Herodotus, |. v. c. 9. fays, that the Si- 
gynes, who dwelt beyond the Danube, 
and border on the country of the Heo 
nietes who poffefs the coaft of the Adri- 
atic fea, that isto fay, of the Venetians, 
declare that they are defcended from the 
Medes, and cloath themfelves after,

thefe people having retained the memo- 
ry of their origin, and the drefs of their 
anceftors, fhould allo retain their lane

that the horfes of thefe Sigynes are co-

This is an exa&t defcription of that kind

Ay Authentic Account of a conyerfation 
that lately happened in the King's 
Beach prifon, between Mr Wilkes and 
@ Gentleman, formerly one of bis mof 

timaty friends. 
HIS gentleman had feveral times 
called on an honeft book(eller ig. 

Piccadilly, a friend of Mr Wilkes, ta 

defire him to come to the King’s Bench’ 

to intreat Mr W. not to prefent a petie 
tion to the Houfe of Commons, for thé 
confequence mutt be the lola of ‘his feat, 
fram the refentment of the giniftry, 
‘The boneft bopkéeller refufed to come 
on that meffage. The placeman had 
never once been to fee his old friend in 
prifon ince bis commitment in Aprily 
till Sunday evening, the 13th of No- 
vember, the day beforethe petition wag 
prefented, The attempt by the boak- 
feller failing, be ventured him/eif in 
the dutk to obey the mandates af hig 
mafter. He introduced himfelf with 
the moft fulfome and tedious profe(li- 
-ong, the moft unneceffary and ridiculous 
among real friends. He then declared 
what pleafyre he thould have found in 
coming frequently to ¢ King’s Bench, 
that he could not his time fo weil 
as'with Mr Wilkes, and that he would 
have been often there, could he have 
been ‘really ufeful to his friend. He 
talked warmly againtt the intended 
os prefenting a yeion ees,

mievances, and declared he knew, if 
, Wilkes would be quiet, he might 
keep his feat; if he prefented the pe- 
tition, he would certainly lofe it. 
sarneftly entreated Mr Wilkes to give 
up the petition, and to keep his feat, 
the honour and advantage of which he 
painted in frong colours. Mr Wilkes 
defired the authority for fuch dire& af- 
fertions. The placeman declared that 
he {poke in the name of the M—r, and 
that he would promife, if the petition 
was not prefented, no attempt fhonld 
made in parliament againft Mr 
Wilkes. He was then afked by Mr 
Wilkes, if he would promife for the 
.great man as f— M——r, or as D. of 
w———, for the D— of P——— had found 
how little the promifes of the D— of 
—— were regarded by the f—ft M—r. 
No anfwer was made to this. Mr 
Wilkes then declared, that he thought 
it his duty toevery man in this couatry 
to prefent a petition of fuch general 
concern, complaining of fo many un- 
paralicled grievances, that he would not 
ll the rights of the people, and his 
own, even fora feat for the firft county 
in England, that he held that feat at 
the free will of his sonftituents, and re- 
fufed to hold it at the arbitrary wil] of 
any minifter; that he was highly fenf- 
ble of the private honour to himfelf, 
but he felt {till more for his country ; 
that on no terins would he have given 
up the petition, had they been offered 
before his laft addrefs to the county, 
but thzt now no propofal fhould have 
been made to him, which could even 
fuppofe that breach of faith. In the 
courfe of a long converfation, Mr 
Wilkes obferved, that he did not look 
oh a feat in parliament as the end, but 
as the means; that he wifhed to repre- 
fent the county of Middlefex, in order 
to be more eminently ufeful at a fober 
time of life, but if he could be more 
ufeful by giving up his feat, he would 
then give it up, and he would always 
hold his head by the fame tenure. He 
repeated feveral times, that he was em- 
barked to defend the rights of the peo- 
ple, which he would do at any rifk, 
without a with to encroach on the fair 
claims of the crown, that he had been, 
and fhould be, ever ready to make any 
fubmiffion to the king, which was even 
hinted from authority, although he was 
not confcious of the intention at any 
time to have offended his fovereign, but 
that he never would make application 
for pardon to aminifter; that if mercy 


was extended to him, he hoped he 


jw ee: + 


thould be permitted to throw himltlf af 
the king’s feet to acknowledge his ma- 
jefty’s goodnefs; if it was not, he bad 
ong borne the ftorms of fate, and hig 
yaind was made to adverfe fortune; and 
although he felt his imprifonment and 
all his perfecutions as a man, he would 
alfo bear them as a man, and would 
come out of prifon a better man than

may be attributed, as well as the great

Kiddermingter, filk and worfted trades 5° 
and it no lefs affeéts the worfted ftock- 
ing wade. In thort, no branch of the « 
woollen or worfted manufadtories can 
arrive at perfeétion till that caufe is re- , 
moved that is attended with fo many 
bad effeéts; and furely there needs not 
many arguments to perfuade all, whofe . 
intereft it is to join hands, hearts and 
purfes, to endeavour moft earneftly to 
prevent or cure an evil, that fo material- 
ly affeéts the ftaple commodity of thi 
kingdom ; let us not therefore be all id! 
fpeétators, or at the beft but ufelefs com- 
plainers of the bad methods that keep- 
ers of theep ue in marking, for to thie 
vile pradtice of clogging the fleece with 
fapertivous and hurtful tuff in marke 
ing, it is, that fo many bad confequences 
attend the management of wool, that 
many a fleece is not worth half what it. 
would otherwife produce. This put 
me upon thinking of a remedy, And. 
though I have been informed that ap. 
plication was formerly made to parlia- 
ment for an aét to prevent the fuperflu- * 
ous uf of pitch and tar upon theep 
without fuccefs; yet I cannot but 
think, that either it was not applied for 
in a proper manner, or its hurtfulnefe 
was not fet forth in a proper light. But 
I would gladly hope we have gentlemest 
now in the Houfe, who will condefcend 
to conyerfe with intelligent manufac- 
turers in this important. branch, and 
who being convinced of the neceflity of 
fome regulation, will zealouly promote 
ana for that urpote, in order that 
cloth may be made as perte& va poible, 
x 








130 © Remonfirance relative to the management of Wool. 


and that the manufafturer may be ena- 
bled to fell it at a moderate price, both 
at home and abroad, which cannot be 
done as wool is at prefent. Surely it 
is matter of no {mall concern, that fo 
ufeful a commodity thould be plenty, 
and its quality as perfc& as poffible; I 
fhould think that thote gentlemen whofe 
intereft is fo intimately conne&ted with 
the growth of wool, as many nemhers 
of parliament are, would do all in their 
power to encourage fo great and benefi- 
cial a branch of trade as the woollen 
manufactory is to theie kingdoms. 
Certainly their anceftors thought it 
their duty todo fo, when they placed 
packs of wool in the houfe to fit upon, 
and when king Edward the third, and 
his parliament, fo eurly as the year 1336, 
pafled a law that no wool growing with- 
in this realm fhou.l be tranfported out 
of the fame, but that it fhould be made 
intocloth in England, and that all ful- 
lers, weavers, and cloth- makes of every 
degree, being fufficiently inftiuéted, and 
cunning in their art, from what coun- 
try foever they came, fhould receive and 
enjoy certain privileges, yea and more- 
over fhould live at the king's charges 
out of the exchequer, until they had 
provided commodioufly to live by their 
ert. And there hath fince been a great 
number of acts of parliament paffed to 
ulate the lengths, breadths, and qua- 
lities of cloth, and to prevent frauds 
and evil pra&tices by the makers; but 
no law is yet exifting to reguiate the 
marking of wool. Is it not therefore as 
neceflary to regulate the management of 
wool in the firft inftance, and to pre- 
ferve it from wilful abufe, as to lay fo 
many reftraints upon the manufacturer 
afterwards? But as the wifeft man may 
not know what to give before he is afk- 
ed,I think it the duty of every town and 
county in the woollen branch to fix 
won proper perfons to concert a plan to 
be laid before their reprefentatives, and 
to open a fubicription to obtain an act 
to encourage the growth of wool, but 
efpecially fine wool, and to perfect its 
quality ; by this means the cloathing 
trade would flourifh, and themfelves 
and pofterity woud have the benefit of 
it. I will only adda few hints for 
fome abler head to improve upon. The 
Downs in England proper to keep 
fmall fheep upon fhould not be inclofed, 
for the inclofing of commons where 
{mall fheep ufed to be kept is certainly 
one principal caufe of the great advance 
of fine wool. It is not to he doubted 
but that our breed of fine woolled fheep, 


by proper culture, and good manage- 
ment might be brought to produce near 
as good wool asthvic of Spain. Would 
it not then be worthy the wifdom of 
payiiament to confider and enfcre the 

eft method of doing this, in order to 
bring down the prefent high price of 
Spanith wool? Ti!l thisis done, by fhor- 
ling the fleece before it is thorn, would 
it not make near as neat a cloth as the 
Spanith wool ? Can the growers cf wool 
behurt by it, would not the quality be 
fo much better a: tu pay them for ex- 
traordinary trouble and Jofs? Ought 
they to dap the fleece fo deccitfully as 
they do nuw in miny countrics, and 
putall manner of rubbith init? In hore 
does there not want laws to encourage 
or oblive an enti ¢ reformation with re- 
gard to wool? T think no fentibie man 
will deny it, no weli wifher to his coun- 
try can be againitit, and I hope that alf 
men of fpirit whofe intereft it. is, wiil 
promote it; it wis with this defign that 
Tecomuitted thefe thouxhts to writing, 
which are founded uvon twenty one 
years expericnce in the woollen trade, 
and doubt not but ail thofe immediate- 
ly concerned in the wooll.n manufaec- 
tory will agree with me, that no time 
fhould be tult in petitioning the parlia- 
ment for a regulation of fo important 
an article in trade as that of fheeps 
wool Is, T. F. 

P.S. Iknow it will be faid by fome 
fhepherds, ‘© muit we hive no marks 
to know our theep by 2° “To which I an- 
fwor, Chat Too think a fufficient mark 
might be made m the horn, pate or

that would Jalt trom fheer ume to fheer

Jutely neceflary, To would have that to 
be of pitch alone, and as {mall as pof- 
fible, and confined to the rump, or but- 
tock, for it greatly hinders the growth 
of fine wool, and when clipt off, thor- 
tens the ftaple too much, fo as to render

I would only have the dead top taken

it will never be thought an example for

tall upon you to juftify that declaration, 
wherein you charge your with 
having done an aét in your favour no-

both in Ireland and Englaad, is appro- 
priated by parliament, and if it be given 
to perfons, who, like you, are legally 
incapable of holding it, it is a breach 
of law. It would have been more de-

which Mr Foot defcribes, if this evi-

fuch as might have been occafioned by 
that difeafe, it will be difficult to per-

Many cafes occur, where it 18 impof-

the caufe of death; and in every 
doubtful cafe, clemency ought to pre- 

wail, fince it is better that a guilty per- 
fon fhould efcape by a favourable re- 
refentation of the cafe, than that an 
innocent perfon fhould unjuftly be con- 
demned to death. 

The letter writer’s queftions con- 
cerning the confequences of Mr Clark's 
wound, are founded on an imaginary 
reprefentation, not on Mr Foot's evi- 
dence, & therefore can have no weight. 

MeDico-CHIRURGUS. 


To his Grace the of Fees, 
My LorpD, 

BEFORE you were placed at the head 
of affairs, it had been a maxim of 
the Englith government, not unwilling- 
ly admitted by the people, that every 
ungracious or fevere exertion of the 
prerogative fhouid be placed to the ac- 
count of the minifter ; but that when- 
ever an a& of grace or benevolence was 
to be performed, the whole merit of it 
fhould be attributed to the fovereign 
himfelf. It was a wife do&rine, my 
lord, and equally advantageous to the 
king and to his fubjeés ; for while it 
preferved that fufpicious attention, with 
which the people ought always to exa- 
mine the conduét of minitters, it tended 
at the fame time rather to increafe than 
to diminith their attachment to the per- 
fon of their fovereign.—If there be a 
fatality attending every meafure you are 
concerned in, by what treachery, or by 
what excefs of folly has it happened, 
that thofe ungracious aéts, which have 
diftinguifhed your adminiftration, and 
which I doubt not were entirely your 
own, fhould carry with them a ftrong 
appearance of perfonal intereft, and even 
of perfonal enmity in a quarter, where 
no fuch intereft or enmity can be fup- 
fed to exift, without the higheft in- 
juftice and the higheft difhonour? On 
the other hand, by what judicious ma- 
nagement have you contrived it, that 
the only aét of mercy, to which you 
ever advifed your —=-==, far from ad- 





ding to the luftre of a character 
gracious and benevolent, thould |

ermine whether it was mortal or not.— 
While the party is alive, a furgeon will 
be cautious of pronouncing ; whereas, 
the death of the patient, he is ena- 
to confider both caufe and effe&t in 
one view, and to fpeak with a certainty 
ftafirmed by experience. 


” Yet we are to thank your Grace for 


the eftablithment of a new tribunal. 


Your Inquifitio pof mortem is unknown 
tothe laws of England, and does ho- 
Rour to your invention. The cnly 
material objeation to it is, that if Mr 
,Foote’s evidence waa infufficient, be- 
csufe he did not examine the wound till 
after the death of the party, much lefs 
can a negative opinion, given by gentle- 
men, who never faw the body of Mr 
Clarke, either before or after his deceafe, 
authorife you to fuperfede the verdi& of 
a jury, and the fentence of the laws. 

Now, my Lord, let me afk you, has 
it never occurred to your Grace, while 
you were withdrawing this defperate 
wretch from that jnftice, which the laws 
had awarded, and which the whole peo- 
ple of England demanded againft him, 
that there is another man, who is the 
favourite of his country, whofe pardon 
wonld have been accepted with grati- 
tude, whofe pardon would have healed 
all our divifions? Have you quite for- 
gotten that this man was once your 

race’s friend? Or is it tom s 
only that you will extend the mercy of 
the Cn? 

Thefe are queftions you will not an- 
fwer. Nor is it neceflary. The cha- 
rafter of your private life, and the uni- 
form tenour of your poelic condu&, 
is an anfwes to them all,

STR, ; op 
N the courfe of our political anima 
fities, nothing has thocked me. f& 
much as the inbuman rage with which 
fome perfons (and particularly Mr 
W—es himfelf) have demanded the 
blood of the two Irithmen, who were 
condemned to die for the murder of- 
Clarke ; that is, from being prefent af,, 
and engaged in, the riot where Ms 
Clarke received his wound. Whatever 
may be the conftru@ian of the law, ‘tia, 
certain that the chairmen did not intend 
ta murder any perfon; and therefore. 
their cafe ftrongly pleads the exertioa: 
of that part of the royal prerogative fo, , 
wifely ordained to temper judgment 
with mercy. In them there was no ma-, 
lice premeditated, ner even momentary 
intention to kill any perfen. I do not 
pretend to fay they were there by acci-, 
dent. I do firmly believe that they 
were fent; that they were hired to gn: 
there; but I believe at the fame time,. 
nay, I know, and Ia Ito the brea. 
of every gentleman in England conver : 
fant in ele€tions, that it is an univerfal, 
or at leaft a very general practice, to 
employ fuch people to lead voters up to 
the huftings. By the laws of this coun. - 
try, the military are obliged to with- 
draw from the place of election; and - 
if there is a mobbith difpofition among 
the people, which there commonly is, 
no man of a timorous or quiet nature 
dares go to give his vote, unlefs he 
knows that there are people provided to 
make way for him through a hoftile - 
crowd, and to fave his head from the ‘ 
cudgel, which on fuch occafions is not 
wielded by Irifhmen only. 

I think I have ftated the cafe fairly, * 
fo help me God! and thofe who re- 
member the mob which attacked Sir * 
W. Beauchamp Proétor and Mr Townf- 
hend at the firft ele&tion, muft acknow- © 
ledge that it was abfolutely neceflary to 
employ people to affift the voters at the 
fecond. ; 

The unlucky event that followed 
upon this-necefflary meafure was a mere 
accident, as fatal to the intereft as cone 
trary to the intention of the candidate. 
After all the exaggerated accounts of — 
this other maffacre, it appears that no- 
body was killed at Brentford, and only | 
one man who was knocked down there 
died fome time after. It is very com- 
mon for perfons who have been drink-

242 Explanation of the Ritis of the Charch of England. 


Of Charching of Women. 
"THE woman is ordered to come to 
~ church, and offer up her public 
praifes; the birth of man is little lefs 
than a miracle, and left the frequency 
of it thould diminifh our fenfe of it, 
the woman, who hath received this 
wonderful mercy, ie ordered to come 
to church, offer up her public 


praifes. The reafon of thiscommand.- 


of the charch, is taken from the ori- 
ginal law of Mofes, Levit. 12. which 
commands all women, after they had 
born a child, to come to the houfe of 
God within.a certain number of days, 
and with a facrifice to praife God fot 
this great mercy, and alihough the ce- 
remonial reafon be ceafed, yet the ob- 
Tigation to make a publick acknow- 
ledgement of fo eminent a mercy re- 
mains fill, and in all chriftian 
mothers have obferved this holy rite. 
The chorch is appointed to do this in. 
It mek be done thus publickly, sf for 
God's honour, 2dly, to fatisfy the wo- 
man's duty, who is bound to Jet God's 
goodneis be (hewed forth, that others 
may learn to trutt in him. 4dly, by 
this means, many are brought to join 
in God's praifes for fo publick a mercy, 
and therefo:e to do this in a private 
houfe, is abfurd, and contrary to the 
main end of the office. 


Of the Commination ufed the firff Day 
of Lent. 


"THE reafon and occafion of compof- 

ing this office, was to fupply the 
want of primitive difcipline, that every 
man may judge himfelf, fince the 
church now judgeth fo few offenders, 
the fentences of” God’s curfes againt 
impenitent finners are read, in imitati- 
on of the Jews, who were appointed 
hy God yearly to obferve this office, 
faying Amen. As it is no adverb of 
withing, it fignifies no more than an 
affent of the truth to that to which it 
is added. 

The ufe of this office is to make us 
flee fuch vices, and repent of them 
which are here mentioned, fince we 
acknowledge the curfe and vengeance 
of God doth defervedly follow fuch 
fins and finners. 


Of ComFinMATion. 


COnfirmation is appointed to confirm 
and ratify with our own mouths 


the promifes made by our god- fathers, ° 


and to receive new ftrength by the 


bleffings and prayers of the bithop. | 


It is a holy rite which the church 
Serves in imitation of the apofties prac- 


4 fubje 


. tice;.this rite was. not infituted by cus 


Lord Jefus, becaufe the Holy 
(which is herein to be communicated) 
was not given till after Chrik's afcen- 
on, John vii. 39. yet in his promif- 
in Holy Spirit to -his difciples, 
and to remain with his church for ever, 
John xiv, 16. he feemed to fuppofe 
that there wuld be fome rite mftitured 
by.them for the perpetual callation, 
or beftowing of the {pirit. This office 
of confirmation began with the firk 
converts whom the apofties baptized, 
who were confirmed by the immediate 
hand of God, and he, by his miracu- 
lous gifts of the Holy Ghoft, fealed 
their baptifm, and attefted the religion 
into which they had entered. But it 
was not long before the Apoftles were 
appointed to minifter in giving the Ho- 
ly Spirit tothe newly baptized, and 
then they inftituted the'rite of laying 
on of hands, and God was plea(ed fo 
far to approve their inftitution, that he 
did agtually give wonderful meafuses 
of the Spirit to thofe on whom they 
laid their hands, thereby honouring 
the governors of his church, and en- 
gaging all the members thereof to be 
to them, and to be at peace 
one with another. This is proved in 
holy fcripture, from that famous in-

16. when the Samaritans had been 
converted and baptized by Philip the 
deacon, they did not receive the Holy 
Ghoft, until St Peter and St John had 
confirmed them, from whence the fa- 
thers generally deduce this practice. 
St Paul did in like manner lay his 
hands upon fome baptized perfons at 
Ephefus, A&s xix. 6. of which he 
reminds them, Ephef. i. 13. and when 
the fundamentals ot religion are reckon- 
ed up, Heb. vi. 1, 2. among them is 
placed the laying on of hands, which 
in rd it follows baptifm, and isa 
doctrine to be taught young beginners, 
it is moft likely to be meant of Con- 
firmation, and is fo interpreted by the 
fathers. This apoftolical ufage was 
not to ceafe, when miraculous in{pi- 
rations did not accompany it, becaufe 
the Holy Spirit 1s to abide m the church 
for ever, and Chriftians have and need 
it now really and effectually to the 
purpofes of fanctification as any had 
it then, therefore there is no reafon 
that the right of communicating it 
fhould ceafe. adly. The church did 
in every age continue this cuftom of 
confirming after bapti(m, which proves, 


’ that they did not imagine that it was a 


tempory inftitution ; to reject it, there- 
fore, is to condemn the univerial preq- 


Fergufon’s Method of confrulting Sun Dials.” 


tice of thechurch, to which, certain- 
ly, a very great deference is due. The 
to be confirmed is interrogated, 

}o you hear? becaule it gives the party 
to be obliged opportunity to confider 
what he is to bind himfelt unto, and fo 
may give a deliberate anfwer. One 
godfather or godmovher is required 
to be prefent, tor greater fecurity, a 
pledge of fincerity, and to be contic.ual 
monitor to keep the vow, as well as a 
witnefs of the (ame. Thofe verfes and 
anfwers are ufed upon the hearing of 
the perfons good confeffion, the whole 
church exprefs their joy and defires, 
that it may be confirmed in fome of 
thofe words of David's Pfalms, which 
are very properly inferted here, that 
the whole congregation may joi in the 
profeffion ot their faith in Go 
giving glory tobim, and in beggi ng 
acceptance from him; and the lal 
phrafe is doubled, to thew the vehe- 
ment defire and fervent affections of 
the petitioners. We pray for the Holy 
Spirit in this office, becaule in baptifm 
the Holy Spirit gives only what is fuf- 
ficient to make us innocent. But in 
Confirmation it gives increafe, and 
makes us gracious, according to which 
ancient dottrine, the prayer is com- 
pofed to acknowledge the former gift, 
and then to petition for the fecond. 
The laying on of hands (ufed in this 
office) is one of the moft ancient cere- 
monies in the world, oblerved by Ja- 
cob in giving his bleffing, and ufed by 
our Lord Chrift and his Apoftles. 

This Rite is performed by a bithop, 
becaufe our church is careful to keep 
to the apoftolical pattern, in the perfon 
as well as in the cereniony, becaufe 
though Philip had liberty both to 
preach and baptize, yet the Apottles 
‘only could confirm, 2dly, This pecu 
liar’ priviledge of confirming, referved 
to the bithop. is apt to beget a greater 
veneration of it in the minds of de- 
vout people, and to make them expeét 
nobler effects trom that office, which 
none but the higheft minifter of reli- 
gion can celebrate. 

By this Rite we fignify, that the

For a horizontal dial, as fig. 4. 
Make the radius AK of the circle 
BKDL equal to AD in fig 1. and crofs

points of divifion, which are equidif- 
tant from I, draw the right lines 7 5, 
$4, 93, 10 2, &c. till they meet the 
former right lines, ¢&, di, ¢5, &c. in 
the points7 5, 8 4, 9 3, 102, andi: x, 
on both fides of the diameter BAD ; 
all which points are in the elliptical 
curve, and it isto be drawn through 
them, by band, asin the figure. 

And right lines drawn from the! 


center A through thefe points in the - 


ellipfis, will be the true hour lines for 
a horizontal dia). 

To draw the ellipfis for a vertical 
fouth dial, make DE (in 6g. 1.) the 
radius of the largeft circle, and CF 


the radius of the {malleft: the diame- _ 
ter of the former gives the tran{verie | 
diameter of the ellipfis, and that af! 


the latter gives the conjugate: which 


being found, conftruct the ellipfis the: 


fame way for the vertical dial as above 
fhewn for the horizontal ; then draw 
the hour-lines in the fame manner, 
from the center of the dial, through 
thofe points of the ellipfis where the 
inter feétions of the crofs lines meet it, 
as in the horizontal; ahd the thing 
will be done, ,

‘R Bancroft refided ‘about three 
years at Guiana, ina medical 
_ charaéter, and this book is written im- 
mediately from his own knowledge. 
Guiana was firit difcovered by Co- 
Jumbus in 1498. It lies between the 
7th degree ot north, and sth degree 
of fouth latitude, ‘and between the 
gid and Goth degrees of longitude 
weft from London, Tt is bounded on 
the north and eaft by the Atlantic, 
on the weit by the river Oronoco, on 
the fouth by the river of Amazon, 
and on the weft by the river Negroe, 
which communicates with the other 


two, 

It is now divided between the Spa. 
niards, Dutch, French, and Portu- 
pect: but except its fea coait, and the 

1s adjacent fo its rivers, it has hi- 
¢herto remained unknown to all but 
its original natives. ‘The lateit com. 
pilers of modern hiftory have not been 
able to determine whether its natives 
lived in congregated multitudes, or, 
asis the cafe, were difperfed in lepe- 
Fate families or tribes over the whole 
‘country ; and even thefe obfervations 
extend only to the Dutch territories, 
for to foreigner, thofe of the Spa. i- 
ards, French, and Portuguele are ii 
acceffible. 

This country, on accout of the di- 
werfity and fertility of its foil, and of 
its vicinity to the equator, which paf- 
fes through it, affords almolt all the 
produstions of ‘the different American 
countries between the tropics, befiles 
‘a variety of curious objeéts ‘peculiar 
to itfelf. 

Durch Guiana was formerly the pro- 
perty of the Englith, who made ‘iet- 
flements at Surinain, where a kind of 
‘corrupt Englith is Gill fpoken by the 
negroes. The Dutch took it in the 
reign of Charles the fecund, and it 
‘was ceded to them by treaty in 1674 
in exchange for what they bad pote - 
ed in the province now called New 
"York. 

The land for fifty miles up the coun- 
try from the fea coatt, is flat, and dur- 
ing the rainy feafons, covered two 
feet high with water. This renders 
it inconceivably fertile, the earth for 
twelve inches deep being a ftratum of 
J mapure; ap attempt was ouce 
to.carry fomeot it te Barhadoes,

In this country the heat is feldom

the invariable length of the night

Ene fhort hair, of a chefnut colour, di- 
verfified with white round {pots on the

The fieth is tender and delicate, and 
by the Europeans preferred to all

There is a great variety of beauti- 
ful birds in Guiana, but mof of them 
have been defcribed by other writers, 
rfonsin the Dutch col 
employ themfelves and their flaves in 
killing and preferving birds for the 
cabinets of Europe. ‘The manner of 
doing it, hitherto unknown in Europe, 
is this: 

The bird is put into a rvefie] 
and covered with the arf runnin of 
the diftillation of rum; in this fpirit 
he remains 48 hours or longer, actors 
ding to his fize, till it has pen 
every part of his body; he is then ta- 
ken out and his feathers placed (mooth 
and regular; he is next put into q 
machine made on purpofe, and his 
head, feet, and wings being placed in 
a natural pofition as when alive, he is 
fet in an oven very moderately heated, 
where he remains till he is perfectly, 
but flowly dried ; after this, the pe 
tion will be always retained, and the 
fabflance preferved from putrefaGtion 
and the colours from change,

The natives of Guiana, i ly 
called Indians, are divided into diffe- 
rent tribes,more or le(s inlightened and. 
and polifhed, as they are more or jefe 
remote from the fettlements of Euro~ 
peans. The principal tribes of which 
we have acquired any knowledge, are 
the Caribbees, the Accawaws, the Wor- 
yours, and the Arrowauks : they fpeak- 

i nt Janguages, or perhaps only- 
different dialeéts of the fakne i 4 
and have fome differences alfo in fea- 
ture and complexion ; they allow 
lygamy, and have no divifion of > 
the men go to war, hunt, and fith, and 
the women look after domeftick cone 
cerns, fpin, weave in their fafhion, and 
look ‘after the planting Caffava, and 
Manive, the only things which tn this 
country are cultivated by the natives. 
‘Their arms are bows arrows, thort 
poifoned arrows, blown through a 
reed, and clubs made of a heavy bard 
wood, called iron wood. They eat thé 
dead bodies of thofe that are flain in 
war, and {ell thofe for flaves whom they 
take. prifoners ; their wars bei 
chiefly undertaken to furnith the Bus 

an plantations. 

‘he Accawaw tribe are the mof ine 
terior inhabitants of this country that

they grate the roots of the Caffava, a

The poi‘oned arrows are made of 
Iplinters of a hard heavy wood, calied

foh is prepared, is as follows:

this work is a great proportion of the 
whole, {t cohtains no account of the 
trees from which thefe ingredients are

they are all Nibbees. The Hafchybaly

row is to be envenomed, it is eithet 
dipped in a folution of this potfon int 
water, or the poifon is helt! over the fire 
till it melts, and the drrov: fmeared 
with it. The fmallett quantity of this 
p<ifon, conveyed by a wound into the 
red blood velfels of any animal, kills it 
in lefg than a minute, without much 
appearance of pain and uneafinefs: a 
few grains, mixed with as many ounces 
of blood, warm from the veins, totally 
prevents a feperation of the ferum and 
craffamentum, and the whole mafs con- 
tinues fluid till it putrifies, whicht does 
not happen fooner than if the mixture 
kad not heen made. It is however, 
remarkable, that it the point of an ar- 
row thus poifoned, is dipped in the 
jiice ot a limon, which is frequently 
done when they are over dry, they con- 
tinue to be equally fatal, but the blood 
drawn from animals, at the inftant of 
expiration, regularly feparates, and af- 
fords nouncommon apyearance. The 
poifon mixes, without ebullition or ef- 
fervelcence, both with aicalies and a- 
cide, but when mixed with an alcali, 
its reddifh brown colour becomes yel- 
lowith. What is here faid, however,of 
the different effeéts of this poifon, uted 
with or without a limon, is not fatis- 
factory, for there is great difference 
hetveen mixing this poifon with the 
blood, in the proportion of a grain tod 
an ounce, and conveying into the 
whole vital mafs of an animal fo much 
only as a flight wound can receivé 
from the point of an inftrument, which 
perkcps did but juft draw blood. 

. Acainft this poifon, Mr Bancroft 
knows no antidote. The Indians ne- 
ver ufe thefe poifoned artows in war, 
but in Bunting only, and chiefly againft 
monkies3 the flefh of an animal thus 
killed, may be fafely eaten, and even

11. Frederick and Pharamond ; or, the 
Confolations of Human Life. By Fob 
Laxghorne, D. D. 

In a fhort preface to thefe Confola- 
tions, the author intimates, that upon 
experience he found them to be good 
for nothing. 

* They were intended, fays he, for 
* the private ule of a friend urder at- 
* Aition, but the author had not pro- 
© ceeded far in them beiore a fevere 
€ event of the fame kind, rendered it 
© neceflary for him, to call home the 
© precepts for the tupport of his own 
© mind. It would be bappy if be could 
© recommend their efficacy om experience : 
© ALL be can fay in their favour, uttb 
© regard to bimjelf is, that the writing of 
© them helped bim to forget his forroces ; 
* ALL he caa prefume to hope for o- 
© thersic, that they may find the jame 
© advantage while they read them. 

It is not perhaps eafy to guefs upon 
what principle his gentleman cou.d fell 
to others, what he had himfelf expe 
perienced to be of no value ; or how he 
could give the title of Confolations, to 
what could only turn the attention of 
the mind from its affliction, while they 


ewvere read, inftead of giving ‘upport: 


under it: he might as well have given 
the title of Confolations to a book of 
riddies, or a multiplication fun, which 
would have an{wered the purpofe much 
better. 

The author offers his Confolations 
under two heads; religion and philo- 


fophy. 

he Confolations of Religion, he 
fays, arile from a proper confideration 
of the parental character of God. 
© Religion teaches us that God is our 
¢ father ; as a father he could create 
¢ us with no other view than to make 
© us happy ; his intentions could not 
“ be vain :* the confequence is una- 
voidable, thersfore man is happy. ‘ I, 
* fays this comforter, fmile at danger, 
¢ dittrefs and pain: you afk, how God, 
* having created me, with a defign to 
© make me happy, can yet permit me 
‘ to be milerable ; I reply, that you 
© draw a falfe conclufion trom a talfe 
“ inference: if I wese miferable, your 
‘argument might at Jeait have my 
¢ folly to fupport it.” Every one, these- 
fore, in Dr Langhorn’s cpinion, that 
is not happy» is a fool. Wet us then 
fuppofe him looking in upon one cf his 
flock, who is fitting at home, tortured 
with the fone, while the corps of an 
amiable and only child, or a faithful 
and affe€tionate wife, is ‘carrying tothe 
grave: let us fupnofe the Doktor to 
perceive the jolly of tach a wretch in his 


Lift of Books—ewith Remarkis 


countenance, and thus to reproach: 
him with it: ‘Let me tell you, 
‘ neighbour, that if, in this fituationg 
€ you are not happy, you are a fool.” 
Would the fon of affisétion have much 
caufe to admire his wifdom, or to love 
his humanity ? he would probably or- 
der him to he tuken cure of as a luna- 
tic 3 or turned cut of ths houfe as in- 
fulting the milery that be ought to 
have dvothed. 

This book, however. 13 not only ufe- 
Je(s, it is pernicious: inttead of enabling 
aman to bear his infissnity, it hasa 
direct tendency to wound his fpirit. 
© God, fays the author, 1s not the fa- 
‘ ther of the mifcrable, becaufe they’ 
* do not cuonfider him in that capacity. 
‘It is impofible that any one, who 
* rightly refleéts on the paternal capa- 
* city of God, can be milerable.” 

What inference wiil the fimple and 
uninformed, who feel thet they cannot 
diveft themfelves ot miicry, nN pain, 
ficknefs, cold, hunger, ard domeftic 
diftrefs, draw fiom this pafiage ? cer- 
tainly that Godis nor their father, and. 
confequently that hope is precluded 
with refpect to another life, by thé 
fame perverfe and wicked temper of. 
mind which precludes comfort in this, 

It has been justly obferved, that re- 
medies have been always numerous for 
difeafes which nothing can cure: we 
have but one remedy tor an intermit- 
ting fever, we have a hundred for the 
tooth ach. Dr Langhorne, it is to be 
feared, upon this principle, multiplies 
his remedies for a fick foul : he has al- 
ready proved that man is not iniferable 
from the intention of God, that he 
fhould be happs : be procecdsto thew 
that, admitting man not to be happy, 
it is becaufe he will tot think himielf 
fo: * You will acknowiedye, fays he, 
€ that good and evil bv row their chief 
Impurtance from the opinions we en-~ 
tertain of them; that thole things. 
cannot be bleilings which we do not 
believe to be fuch, and thofe cannot 
be evils, which are not fuch in our 
eftimation : now if we look upon God 
in the chasacter of a father, we thall 
not think what are called evils to be 
evils." 

This muft certain!y put our readers.

Nature, therefore, having taken bul

thould be of no confequence in our's. 
This confideration, fays the Doétor,

ticipation of evil; diveit you felf of 
hunger, and you will have no painful 
defire to eat; buat it is no more in the 
er of the will to preclude the paf- 
on, than the appetite. Itis generally 
agreed, that mental pain is lels tollera- 
ble than corporal ; it is folly, there- 
fore, to {uppofe, that a profpect of cor- 
poral pain muft neceffarily excite fear, 
and that a pro{pect of mental need not, 
This author feems to admit in one 
place, ‘ that if we fee any evil impend- 
ing, it muft, it will excite our feare, 
€ and that it it be unavoidable, fo 
€ much the worte.’ And yet, in the 
next page, he would fain perfuace us, 
that if we do not fee death approach to 
eurfelves, and our dearcit friends, with 
as much indifference as we fce the fun 
fet, it is our own fault. 

But enough of thefe conceits: Dr 
Langhorne admits Revelation as the 
guide of life, let him therefore no lon- 
ger affe& to be ‘wile, above what is 

written. In the book of Revelation, 
the God of Nature is, in a peculiar 
manner, filed the God of the tather- 
Jefs and the widow ; thofe are ftiled the 
bleffed, that mourn and weep, and are 
gireéted to louk forward with hope to 
another place, in which tears (hall be 
wiped from the eye, and anguith obli- 
gerated from the heart. Let us hear 
no more, therefore, that God is not 
the father of the wretched, or that al- 
though pain, and ficknels, and pover- 
ty, are common to all charaéters in this 
jife, yet that thote only fufler mi- 
fery, who are unworthy ot happinefs in 
another. X. 


12. Obfervations on a@ late State of 
¢he Nation. 

An account of the State of the Na- 
tion, will be found in the Magazine 
for November fatt, p. 529, and in this 
- account of the anfwer, the fame ord «r 
is tollowed, that our readers may moze 
eafily and readily compare them toge- 
ther, and that no repetion of the 
charges may be neceffary. 

The author of this pamphlet fays, 
that admitting it to be true, that the 
number of our thips was lefs by 1756 
on a medium, during the fix years of 
war, than during the fix preceding 

ears of peace, it ought not to be con- 
Eaered as derogatory to the advantages 
of the late war; firft, becaufe all war 
is by neceffity unfavourable to trade, 
and becaufe the firft three years of the 
date war are known fo have been un- 


Eift of Books ;—with Remarks: 


fuccefsful : during the laf three yeare 
of the late war, our trade rofe, a cire¢ 
cumftance which never happened in 
war before: our fhips were tewer, but 
larger, fo that although the nuimber 
decreafed, the tonnage was vattly aug- 
mented, fo that in the lat year of the 
war, it was 32,785 tons more than in 
the correfpondent year of the peace 
average, even by the account in the 
State or the Nation. Our trade was fo 
much encreafed in 1761, as to employ 
Britith and foreign fhipsto the amount 
of 707 Gsg tons, an augmentation of 
trade nearly one filth ; and our Britz 
raviection alfo encreafed, but not e- 
qual to the encreafe of trade, fo that 
we added 60,000 ton of foreign thip- 
ping to our own, and this was our fitu- 
ation when the author of the State of 
the Nation fays, the carrying trade was 
wholly env rafied by the neutral nations. 

Though high premiums were given 
for new loans, it was only becaufe no 
new Joan can be obtained without a 
higher premiuna, aud becaufe newloans 
were neceslarv ; 1f what a war always 
makes neceilary, is a freater evil, than 
any thing that can be obtained by a 
war is a pood 3; « war ought never ta 
be undertaken, and the beft thing we 
can do, in time to cuime js, not to fight 
but to fubmit. 

It is not true that France raifed the 
greateft part of her Supplies within the 
year, and that therefore her burthen, 
thouzh it was great, was temporary, 
The author of the State of the Nation, 
by the moft unaccountable of ail er- 
rors, has mittaken for fupply raifed withe 
im the year, fums borrozued upon interefl, 
It is true, as that author fays, chat her 
credit was low, but from this lownefs 
of credit, fhe did not, as he pretends, 
derive any advantages ; the did not 
raife money without borrowing, but 
fhe borrowed on the mott exorbitant 
ulury,. 

So far is France from being ina bet- 
tcr itate than Britain, by having mort- 
gazed no fuch taxes as Britain ime 
pofed in perpetuity for payment of in- 
terelt, that at this hour the pays, om 
account of her publick debt (a perpe- 
tuity) one million nine hundred thou:

‘One capital branch of our manuface 
ture is proved to have encreafed. It 
appears, by the regifters of the Wet 
Riding of Yorkthire, that iri the three 
ie ‘ending in 1767, there were no 
lefe than 57,512 pieces of broad cloth, 
and 18,677 pieces of narrow, mana- 
fa€tured in that ditriG,, more than were 
manufaétured there in three years, end- 
ing with 1754. Thus has this mana- 
fadture increafed under an imcreafe of 
taxes; and the fame may be faid of 
the tl n goods made at Halifax, of the 
bays at Rochdale, and of that infinite: 
variety ieable manufactures that 
grow and extend every year, among 
the fpirited, inven'ive, and enterpr izing: 
traders of Manchelter, 

The author of the State of the Na~ 
tion, fays, that the lols of feamen and 
manufatorers, mutt produce a dimi- 
nution of revenue from confumption t 
this (ays the author of the Obfervati- 
ons, is granted ; and, it follows, that 
where there is an increale «f revenue 
Jrom confumption thore muft be an in- 
‘creafe of confumers ; now the revenue 
from confumption 1s increafed much 
more than in proportion to new du- 
ties, as the author of this pamphlet 
has proved to demonttration, from the 
regilers of revenue. Thue, fays he, 
as our manufsGu-ers have not defert- 
ed, nor the manutaétore left us,.nor 
the confumption declined, ror the 1e- 
venue funk, {o neither has trade,which 
isat once the refult, meafure, and 
caufe of the whole, decayed, as the au- 
thor of the State of the Nation has 
thonght proper fometimes to affirm, 
and always to fuppofe. . 

"Phe real ballance of our trade,which 
in the State of the Nation is reduced to 
0 pounds, is proved to be in 
four millions, by deteéting the 
ind fallacy of the computation, 
on which the redugtinn is made, “KGa -

if, in this country, it has had any thing 
like a uniform rife, it is not owing to 
the encreafe df taxes, but to the uni- 
form encreafe of confumption, and of 
money ; yet, if it be true, that the peo- 
ple of Great Britain now pay four millions 

r annum, more than they did before the 
avar, (See Vol. xxxviil. p. 531.) it is 
difficult to conceive, how that amazing 
fum, saifed annually from the neceffa- 
ries of life, fhould fail to produce a 
vniform and latting rife, independant 
of every other caufe. 

This author having endeavoured to 
prove, that the account of our danger 
and dilttrefs, in the Scate of the Nation, 
is fallacious, proceeds to object ayaintt 
the methods propofed in tke fame trad, 
to procure f‘ety and profperity. 

We are to be delivered, according to 


the State of the Nation, if we can raife- 


300,000 |. a year, which the author 
propofes, fhould be levied on Ireland, 
and the colonies: but, if the want of 
300,000]. a year will Jeave our trade, 
navigation and commerce, on the verge 
of dettru€tion, our finances in ruip, our 
credjt expiring, Ireland on the point 
of being ceded to France, the colonies 
of being torn to pieces, the fucceffion of 
the crown at the mercy of a great rival, 
and the kingdom itfelf, on the point of 
becoming tributary to that haughty 
power, how comes it, fays the Obfer. 
vator, that the very pecfon, who pro- 

fes to fave us, by putting this fum 
into the hands of government, actuafly 
took it out of the hands of govern- 
ment, when it was in them? How 
comes it, that he was active, and made 
a merit of that activity, in taking off 
a fhilling in the pound of the Jand tax, 
which came up to his grand defidera- 
tum, and 100,000 1. more! Certainly 
he cannot defpair fo much of the com- 
mon-wealth, without this [rifh and 
American revenue, as he pretends to 
do ; if he dues, how will he juttity the 
voting away one revenue, and giving 
us a pamphlet on the other. 

The Obfervator occafionally juftifies 
the repeal of the ftamp-act, not becaufe 
the meafure was uncontlitutionpal, but 
becaufe it was inexpedient and impo- 
Jitic : he aliows, that the merchants, 
who alledged that the exports of 1766, 
would, if the famp-adct thould be 1e- 
pealed, be double to thofe of 174s, 
were miflaken; but he accounts tor 
the deficiency, upon principles, which 
neither impeach the integrity of thote 
who pave evidence, or the wildom of 
thofe who received it. Iu 1767, when 
the difturbances (ulfided, the deficien- 
cy was made up again.

The author alfo enters particularly 
into the defence of Lord Rockingham’s 
adminiftration, which fucceeded that 
of 17643 but for this difpute, the rea- 
der is referred to the pamphlet itfelf. 

he author does not propofe particu- 
lar meafures, inflead of thofe propofed 
in the State of the Nation ; but nothing 
is clearer than that, if the public debt 
perpetually encseafes during a war, 
more than it is diminifhed during a 

eace, it muft, at fome time, become a 

urden too heavy to be born. This 
parephlet is written witb great ability, 
and a deep and extenfive knowledge of

both; and they cannot in the fame

volume of cuts, Paris. 

Within a few years, there have been 
publithed feveral voyages to Italy, which 
feem to have evinced the neceffity of 
one executed on a plan fimilar to this 
we naw rive an account of. The an- 
thor, well known in the learned world, 
by a variety of {cientific produdions, 
travelled with the fole view of carefully 
obfuiving, and faithfully defcribing 
what hefaw. Through las whole tour 
be was accompanied by one of the moft 
dillinguithed of the literati of Italy, 
and vitited perfons the moft celebrated 
for their knowledge, in every place he 
flopped at; he has colle ted together the 
moft valuable materials, in every kind 
of knowledze, which he could pofibly 
acquire; to which he has added, what- 
ever could be extracted from the Ita- 
lian authors, who have beft defcribed 
particular parts of that country, and 
the feveral objects moft deferving no- 
tice. Thearticle of paintings, and o- 
ther polite arts, which invite multi- 
tudes of ftrangers to Italy, yet no way 
meriting the confideace of the public,

Came forth fan appeal! to the public, by 
Mr Foor, the infpecting furgeon, touching 
the death of Mr George Clarke, who received 
a blow at the eleGion ar Brentford, on the 
8th of December Ja:1, of which ne languith- 
ed and died the 14:h.—In this appeal, the 
author laments the necefity he is under of 
appealing to the public, again& the fenrence 
of 2 ecw coart of jedicat-rc, the court of ex 
amining furgeess, convened by a fecretary of 
late, to anfwer # particular purpofe ; a court. 
whofe members are not upon oath, ner re- 
ceive any evidence upon cath; who with- 
eut infpefing the body, are to deciare 
their upinion of another man’s opinion found- 
ed upun infpefion; and whofe determina- 
tion is to controuf the verdi@ of three feve- 
ral juries, ftrengthened by the unanimous ap- 
probation of the learned judges. If, by fuck 
a court, folema femences are to be reverfed, 

ivate charatters traduced, and public juftice 
wfpended, what conclufion muft the public 
draw from the deplorable condition of courte 
of judicacure. 

Of the fecretary of fate he withes to be. 
informed, whether his rank, or his office, cam 
give hima right, to injure wth impunity, the 
charaGer of an wnoffending individual > and 
whether he imagines, that eny tile he may 
give te a performance, or ary name he may 
prefix to it, can fan‘tify wilful detraQion, o¢ 
jutity an accempt to ruin. an innocent man, 

order to {:cure the perfon or perfons of 
thofe who hired M‘Quirk, and the other riot- 
ers at Brentford. 

Of the fame nobleman, he wifhes farthes 
to be inft rmed, whether his lordthip knows, 
that, by our laws, not o-¢ frgie furgeon can be 
admicted on a trial for murder ; and, whether 
it was for that reafon, that he chofe a jury of 
Serqreas only,to over-rule the determinati: a of 
three feveral legal juries ; the corune:’s ju- 
ry, the grand jury, and the jury on life and 
death at the Old Bailey. 

He is likewife cur‘ous to know, by whar 
ftrange means the faculty have fu ingratia:ed . 
themfelves lately, that chey are not only the 
fole perfons appointed and d.emed compe- 
tent to fic as fadgcs and sary, but are Jikewife 
thought the only peifors fic to be examined 
as evidence; for the commard to the fur 
geons was, to examine only Mr Bromficid, 
Mr Foot, and Mr Surling. I thould be 
giad to be informed, adds he, whether the 
fecretary’s face will not glow, when he scads 
this appeal, and reconfiders the meafures he 
has taken to de‘roy me, and over-throw my 
teftimony. Ten men, who never faw the 
body, were to examine—whom ?—— Ms

1, pag. 676, the 
life of the brave 
4 Vice. -, Admiral 
Benbow, I was 
EES=| crestly pleafed 
<4} with the particu- 
SSS account there 
at gallant Briton, and join 
author in wondering that Mr 
in his Naval Hiflory, fhould 
ted in fo tender @ manner the 
f thofe perfidious wretches, 
sealls unfortunate) who fo bafe~ 
td their admiral and their coun- 
tas the Biogiapher gives an ac- 
the admiral’s family, I was dif- 
in not feeing fome particulars 
to Mr William Benbow, his 
ind furviving fon. However, 
‘paffed over in filence, I pre- 
ghee ‘owing to this caufe: ‘The 
r owns that he received all his 
from Mr Calton; Now there 
am informed) not long before 
sow died, a mifunderitandin, 
Mr Calton and him, whic! 
judice Mr C. again him. To 
fome meafure this deficiency, 
+ of this letter, who was inti- 
-quainted with’ this gentleman 
ars, will here attempt an 
ragter of him. 
illian Benbow was admitted a 
der Captain Jennings, Comp- 
the Store-keepers accounts at 
office, at a falary of sol. per 
bout the year 1710. But tho” 
rery good clerk, he could ne- 
igher; for, alas! he hud no 
tary intercit, which would have 
reightier. Be for preferment 
netit of his brave father, or 
iduftry. Having continued in 
about ten or twelve years, and 
profreét of advancement, be 
ia the year $723. 














An untoward accident by which ry 
friend was greatly mortified, was thought 
to have haftened this refolution.. He 
was violently enamoured of a yours 

ly, the daughter of an eminent - 
er in Southwark: but as he always pro- 
ceeded according to the ftritett rules.of 
honour, he thought it the faireft way 
to apply himfelf in the firtt place te her 
father, and afk his confent. He went 
accordingly, and bluntly told him, his 
name and baGaefa, When the old inan 
heard whofe fon he was, he feemed at 
firft to liften with fome attention; but 
afked him, before he could make any 
propofals, « If he had any employment, 
and what?" He replied, he was a clerk 
in the Navy-office. ¢ At what falary ?° 
Fifty pounds a year. ¢ Fifty rounds a 
year! why, Sir, I give my clerks lar- 
ger falaries than that.’ And after this 
unlucky confeffion, he was not allowed 
to plead any farther. . 

Mr Benbow was of a ftrong athletic 
make, and could handle the ceftus al- 
moft as dextroufly as Entellus. He was 
alfo a great proficient at cricket. I am 
not confidering whether thefe are accom- 
plifhments (tho" they would have been 
fo accounted among the Greeks) but 
drawing a true charaéter. He abhorred 
every thing that was mean and bafe, had 
much of his father’s bold and dauntlefs 
fpirit, and could not be fo fupple as ta 
cringe and fawn upon thofe in power s 
but, at the fame time he was generous, 
courteous, and obliging to his friends. 
He was not addifled to any vice, had a 
jut fenfe of religion, and good natu- 
ral parts, not wholly uncultivated by 
learning. 

Several of his letters, which are now 
lying before me, thew that he was able 
to converié with his friends ingenioully 
and politely. Mr Benbow was fond of 
Epitaphs, and had made a large collec- 
tion of them, both grave and humorous, 
with which he ufed frequently vorasvate 





his friends. A line mn Martial 9

172 dn Account of William Benbow, fon ta-the. Adgival. 


Sunt bona, funt quedtam medtiocria, funt 
mala plura. 

On his leaving the Navy-office,- he 
returned into the country, and lived for 
fome )e2rs with his brother-in-law, Mr 
Calton, at Milton, rear Abingdon: 
But on fome difguit, (by what accafi- 
oned I know not) he kft him, came up 
to Lond .n, and took lodgings in the 
city; where, not long after, viz. in the 
beginning of April, 1729, he was feiz- 
ed with a violent fever, which carried 
him off in a few days. He was buried 
near kis mother, in Deptford church. 
Lying without « will, his efiate devol- 
ved to his filter, Mrs Calton, and to a 
niece. J muft beg leave to add, that 
the biographer, I appiehend, has been 
mifinfarmed as to the ncture and detign 
of the manufcupt ieft by Mr John Ben- 
how, the Adcmual’s eldeit fin. Mr 
William Denbow read it over to me, in 
the y¢ar 1713, efter his brether’s death : 
and, to the belt of my reenembrance, it 
was only a journal, hike tof kept by 
eve-y vea-officer. Tlie moi curious ard 
inteeling part of it, was that in which 
he seive an account of the crew of the 
Degiave Eatt-fudtuman, to which he be- 
longed, teizing, after their thipwreck, 
a biack king, his quceen,-and fon, m 
Madagatcar, and matching with them 
ever pat of the ifland, and of his ef- 
caping trem his -campanions to Port 
Dauphine, with two or three officers 
‘more, afier the infatuated people had 
ar-ced to give up their royal prifuners, 
and alfu to furrender their arms, trufting 
entivey to the good faith of thefe fa- 
vages, which (as Mr Benbow f.retaw) 
was fuliowed by the maffacie of the 
whele compiny, except four boys. 

In the year r714, the houfle in which 
Mr Denbow lodged, near Aldgme, was 
by accivent burnt. ‘The fire"hioke out 
at midnight, and he had only time to 
fave hiumfeif, but loft kis closths, books, 
ard papers, aod among them this jour- 
nal: But the lofs cf it is the lefS to be 
Ivgteitid, as Robin Drury, (one of the 
bays whofe life was fpared, and who 
lived fifteen yersain Modagafcar) at luft 
care «ver to England, and has givin a 
parhicujar 2ccuunt of this whole affuir, 
Wi his joumal, ented Madagascar, 
printed for W. Mcaduws in Cerrhill, 
1329. Nir Benbow’s narrative (to thofe 
who have read ir) is a firong coufirma- 
tion of the truth of this Journal, with 
which (as far as it went) it ex.dly 
tallied, 

. Robin Drury, among thefe who knew 
hing (aad le was Known {0 many, be- 


mg a portcr at the alt Jadia Heufe) 
had the chara@ter of a downright honett' 
man, without any appcarance of fraud 
or intpofture: He was known toa friend 
of mine, (now living) who frequently 
called upon him at his houft in Lincoln's 
Inn Fields, which were not then incla: 
fed. He tells me, he has often feer him 
throw a javelin there, and ftrike a final 
mark at a jurprizing diftance. 

It is a pity that thie werk of Drury’s 
is nét more ‘known, and a new edition 
publithed, (tt having been long out of 
print, ) 4s i¢ contams a much more par- 
ticular and authentic account ‘of’ that 
Jarge and bas barous ifland than any yet 
given, and ‘(though it is true) is in: ma- 
ny reipects as entertaining as Gulliver 
or Crufoe. 

As Mr W. Benbow fhewed his bro- 
ther’s journal to moft of his friends, 
fome of them may perhaps recolle& 
more particulars than [ cab. -Mr Cal- 
ton, 1 am apt to think, never {aw it. 

I am, Sir, Yours, ce. W.D.

3. ‘The jealouy of the Italians is (till 
talked of in France, but nothing has been 
fen of itin Italy for many years. The 
we of Cicetheos prevails univerfhlly 
at Rome, and in almoft every other part 
of Italy. No lady appears in company 
without a Cavaliere Serwente, who gives 
her his hand, and they generally come to- 
gether to all affemblies ; he is obliged to 
attend his lady early in the morning, he 
fiays in the antichamber till he can be 
feen, he then waite upon her at her toilet, 
he condu&ts her to Mafs, and entertains 
her, or makes her a party till dinner; 
he returns foon afterwards, waits again 
at her toilet, conduéts her to her appoint 
ment, and trom thence to fuppe:. 

The Calins at Venice are little apart- 
ments round St Mark's place ; the maf 
ter of a Cafin fups there every night with 
the Indy that he ferves ; he there receives 
his particular friends, and there they ve- 


ay frequently fpend great part of the 
night. 


‘Thus far the account of this traveller 
confirms that of Mr Sherp; but though 
he confirms all the fa&s related by Mr 
Sharp of te Cecifbeos, he stems to think 
there is no danger in the prastice ; that 
a Cecifbeo and his lady are thut up in 
an apartment by themfelues at Venice, 
is allowed by this author, but at London 
he fays, the very hackney couches are a8 
plivate asa cafin, having fhutters of 
‘wood, which wholly prevent thofe within 
from being seen by thote without, yet 
nobody cenfures a gentleman and lady 
for beng together in a hackney coach j 
and though an Italian Cavaliere Servente 
is continually with the lady thar has cho 
fen him, it docs not follow that there are 
ciminal lanl avities between them, ani 
more than between brothers and filters, 
fathers and daughters, in the fame farai- 
ly5 a Cecifbeu and his Lady in Italy re- 
gird each other juft as a brother end fif- 
ter do im England, in confequence of 
the fame furce of habit. 

All this, however, in matter of opi- 
nion, the fadts are out of quetion y, ae 

ane 

















t74-: 
this writer acknowledges, that there are 
Cecifbeus of love as weil as of conyeni- 
ence, but he fays, they are eatily dittin- 
guished irom cach vther. A woman, 
m Jtaiy, {ys he, notwituttmding her 
toih!es, always prefervcs hier power; if 
fhe is dilpleaied, the difmisies the offender 
pocmptuny, and at once; no nght 
which he may fuppefe himtelf to have 
acquired, will ttand him in any ftead ; 
and if he should prefume upon any fuch 
ngbt, he will get nothing by his indif- 
cicuion but the ttilletto of a hapoy rival 
in his byigm. Jf it is not pofiibie, fays 
thin.vute, for a woman to cantivate her 
hufpynd, as better fhe fhould tanec a fe- 
cond thin a §fincth: not, how.ver, that I 
prejcad to juitify this irreguiarity. 
tis remarkaL.e that this author, tho’ 
he confnus ali that has drawn Baretti's 
cepfuscs upon Mir Sharp, ecchoes thofe 
very. confines, and fays that Mr Sharp's 
Account of Italy is ul.cd with inaccu- 
racy ond il-humour: ‘his can be ac- 
counicd for only by fuppofing him to 
have ipoked negligentiy into Baretti's

in iaike; for if he had read Baretti

Racrable quantity of fue: thio

to their author the title of one of the

ANTONIO ALLEGRI; common- 
ly, called, CORREGGIO, Born at 
dy 1494, and there dicd 1534. 
It happened, that after many ages 
pe in’ ignorance, nature, weary of 
¢ bondage, and willing to repair her 
loffes, by rendering to the arts their ori- 
ginal luftre, drew them from that obfcu- 
nty into which the barbarifm of the 
times had plunged them. There ap- 


. peared one of thofe rare and happy 


getivles, who, guided by initingt alone, 
and’ without any affitance from thole 
who had gone bcfure him, planned out 
new tragts in {cicnce, and became the 
admiration of his cotemporarics; leav- 
ing behind him objeéts worthy the imi 
tatton of his fucceffors. Such was Cor- 
io, who, born in a little village, 
ware perhaps no painter had ever exit 
ed, and at a critical period, even in the 
dawn of the arts, diffuled = glorious 
light over painting ; which did at that 
time aftonith, and still continues to fur- 
prize the {peétator. He at once bani 
ed that Iterility of taite, which durin 
fo long a time had disfigured the art o 
painting ; and, taking a fudden and 
Pipid ight, le railed him(elf w the 
fablime.” He faw every thing great : 
We did ‘not introduce into the generality 
ef his compolitions, a multitude of f- 
gurés; but only fuch as were uleful 
and employed. He gavethem new mo- 
tions, he added to their outiines certain 
forms, which perhaps are not always 
frilly agreeable to the chaite rues 
of defign ; but they have, however, their 
captivating allurements. What the 
poet faid may be here applied ; 
He faatch’d a grace beyond the rules of art. 
The agreeable {mile, and thofe amiable 
graces, which ever attended bis ideas, 
and which he didufed with fuch profu- 


fion orer his charattersy way be 
seed with being forced and vans roi

but they are, however, not lefs fedue- 
ing: an eafy and flowing pencil, an, 


union and harmony of colours, pecu 
Tiar to himf-lf, a perfe&t intelligence of 
light and fade, produced by large and 
broad maties, give an ttonifhing relief 
to all the pigtures he has painted. The 
works of this divine painter cannot be 
too much ttudied. The Caracci were 
fenible of it, and reaped confiderable 
advantages from them, Whoever, from 
their example, will reflet on them with 
attention, may be fure of acquiring the 
moft important principles of their art. 
DOMENICO ZAMPIERI, com- 
monly called DOMENICHINO. Bora 
in Bologna 1581, died at Naples 1641. 
He was born with a docility of tem- 
per, and fulidity of judgement; hat it, 
appearance he was rather flow of com- 
prehenfion. Itwas long before the leatt 
hopes could be formed of this great ar- 
tit. Annibale Carracci only, under 
whom he at length ftudied, knew how * 
to dittinguith the hidden talents of a” 
ever liftening to the voice of in=

painful application never diicouraged.

and the like deceptions ; they. were erly 
the fubje&ts of his amufemenct: he 
knew better how to fill up his time ; 
and the prodigious quantity of inypor- 
tant compofitiona with which he filed. 
Italy and Spain, are evident proofe of 
his abilities. ‘The cieling of the Ri- 
cardi palace at Florence, is an admirable 
Invention. He pefli fled fuch a facility 
of pencil, that the colours, icarce laid 
upon the canvas, produced as of them- 
{clves their proper effe&te. No fooner 
were his fubjeSts conceived, than his 
pictures were finifhed ; and it was owing 
to that extream promptitude that he got 
the name of Luca fa Prefto, which he 
ever afterwards retained. 

GIOVANNI] FRANCESCO BAR. 
RIERI, commonly called GUERCI- 
NO. Born at Cento 1590, died in the 
fame city 1666. 

It is evident that this artift was born 
with uncommon talents for painting ; 
for withcut havirg ever left the little 
city which gave him birth, and where 
there was never any p-inter of reputa- 
tion, on having only feen and ttudied 
an excellent picture of Ludovico Car- 
racct, he made fuch ranid progrefs in 
the art to whith he had devoted himiclf, 
that on his arrival at Bologna, as y.t a 
youth, he aftonifhed tho'e who were 
witnefles of his firit eifays. Having 
never had an oproriunity of adepting 
any particular manner, he acquired one 
which was much fuited to lis genius, 
and which, by the meat matles ct jight 
and fliade, aud the knowiledee he asiain- 
ed to in colewing, produced citecis that 
were cxureamiiy captiveung.  Sduca of 
his life was {pent ia his profefion; for 

“he was employea®in a prowigi us mui. 
her of pictures ino o:!, beth for aitar- 
pieces, and fnch as were ditenscd to 
adorn the cabinets of the grese; with. 
out, however, eA Ging that fieleo and

elegance ef outline, richnefs of drape- 
ries, knowledge of compotiion, and 
above all, his idea of grace and beauty, 
few painters hive been cumparwbie to 
him. He had two manners much op- 
poted to cach other; one was durk and 
inclining to Michact Angelo Caitav>¢- 
gio, which at thae time, was in vosuc ; 
the other was entirely clear, more vajrue, 
and carried hin jometimes to a contrary 
excels, But when he objerved the ime- 
dium, and painted fuch piftures as the 
rape of Dejanira, in the coilcction of 
the king of France, and the Se Peter 
and St Paul, in the Sampieri p2lace at 
Bologna, he is then not only fupeiior to 
himfelt, but he equals even the gicatett 
painters, 

SALVATOR ROSA. Born at 
Naples 1615, died at Rome 1673. 

It may be attributed rather to a de- 
gree of vanitv that Salvator Ri fa ima- 
gined his finall pi€tures, repreienting 
anclfcapes and jea- pieces, were not wor- 
thy of his pencil ; and that his large luf- 
torical compotitions alone would trauf- 
mit his name to poft rity as a great 
painter. But the public, who are fel- 
dom deceived in their judgement, did 
not adopt this way of thinking; they 
equally admired every thing which came 
fium the hands of this great artilt: they 
render juttice to his large compofitions, 
waich are in general wondcifully exe- 
cuted, and with a fpirit and tre-dom of 
pencil peculiar to himieif. His tmaller 
pictures arc, not with re: sn, lefs admir- 
ed where we meet with figures which 
are touched with all nnaginabie tpirit 
and ait, and become the principal o:na- 
mene of his landicapes. Sometiines 
thes painter reprefents a fhore, covered 
with veifels of various kinds, and dif-, 
ferentiy employed. Sometimes we meet 
with immenie iccks heaped on each 
other, interfperfed with branches of trees, 
and the whole wafhed with a fer, alter- 
naitly calm and tempettuous. Atcther 
ties the fcene changes to a deiare 
coultry, in a warm climate, which is 
expofert to the beams of a burning fun 5 
itis here we generally meet with old 
trunks of trees, and torrents of water of 
awonizitul canfparency. ‘Thele fcenes 
ar, fur the moft part, enriched with 
fpiritert firercs ; and the whoie executed 
with truth and freed.m 3; and, at the 
fame tins, with an intelligence which is 
beyond dcicription. 

No defcription of the piGtures is ex- 
tracted, as to thofe who fee them a de 
{cription is unneceflary.

right to a feat im the: Houfe of Lords, the 
people only to a featsin the Houle of 
Commons; And fuppoling no legal in- 
capacity belonging cither to the new cre- 
ated peer or the new cle&ted burgefs or 
knight of. tle Shire, I do apprehend, 
nei the L——— or C have, from 
the conttitution, the leat nght to objeét 
to iy cheice, and much a to fet it 
afide.: 





I may indecd be mittaken in this opi- 


nion, but if they have fauch a rigix, it 
then follows the king cannot create a 
peer, nor the peuple chufe their own re- 
 prefentaiives. L. T. 


4 Writer om Political Delufion produces 
another train of arguments, which, 
if admitted, totally overthrow the 
former. 

MPuE advocates, fays he, for the ad- 

adiriiion of My W. forget that it 

is: not a matter of law, delineating all the 
oflibie events that may happen, which 

cin guchion, bat of privilege founded 
in ecuity and the reafon of things. 

Thete being judged at the tribunal of 

nacional juttice, and having their free 

courte, accoiling to what hath been un- 

derftoe:| for spes palt, the privilege im 

gueliion wpvears from its very nature 

and effenc:, as well as from the judg- 
m-entof the body itflf in whom it 1s 
lodced, to bea vart of the fundamental 
eal cenitutional evs of the land. 
Shait we acin-t of tuch faite refincments 
and airog.nt prefunpticns, as to etpiocde: 
the very dittstes cf commen ftnle, and 
equally confound equity and lew? In 
regard to laws not regarding: privileges, 
thers muft have the afient of the whole 
lesifiature ; but wth refpeét to a pecu- 
_ Har prerogative or privilege of a particu- 
lar part of thc icgillature, a law in the 
ordinary courfe of leciflaticn would im- 
ply a contradiction ; for the authority 
which enaGed the law, would in that 
cafe controul the power, or revoke it, and 
-it would ceate to be a peculiar privilege 
derived from the orginal conititution ; 
and if cach part invaded their refpeétive 
prerogatives und privileges, it is evident 
that-the whole would be weakened if 
not fubyerted. The privilege in quetti- 


on F conceive to be founded on principles - 


- of Heedom.and inlependeacy, and-can- 
not he deftrovee without fubiecting the 
- whol¢ body of tho peopic tu be di:trefled 
_by the cprice of the finalleit part: of 
‘them. If fuch a privilege were abro- 
‘wated, it would involve the people, after 
Ang reprebutmises. in the-dithicalty. 


Ot aBiig at will, as:£ ubey lad aenc. 


Without a delegated power, the peor. 
ple, 2s commonly underftood, ‘are like the. 
ocean, which, agitated, may. breale 
doen every fence ; but. would they calm- 
ly and deliberately dettroy a power in 
its obvious ufe beneficial to themfclves? 
The privilege in quettion appears fo 
much a favour of the people, that if it 
were cancelled they would foon lament 
that they were gratified in fo capricious 
a determination. Inftead of extending 
the line of our liberty, it would cut off 
a confiulerable part of it. Liberty is2 
dream, or a fubftuntial being. It is not 
the freedom of every cne to do juft 
what pleafes his fancy, but obedience to 
law and reafon in conforming to a plan 
founded in reafon ; and the way to pre- 
ferve it, is to look weil ta thet authonty 
by which we lrave been long governed, 
by which we are become a pirat and hap- 
py people; and infead of levelling that

When a real or fuppofed attack is 
made upon the conftitution, the argu- 
ments for and acaink fuch a meatue 
cunnct be too copicully recited ; it was 
father urged, that Mr Wilkes’s ad- 
dre’s tothe frecholders of Middlefex, 
thouch called an addrefs, was in fact a 
manifefto againft the Houfe cf Com- 
mors, and the prefent adminittration. 
Mr Wilkes pretends, fays another writer, 
that he is now more than ever the champion 
of public liberty, invaded by the 1b—e of 
C——s, who, by declaring him incapa- 
ble of being elcéted, have unlawfully 
deprived the freehoiders of Middlefex 
of their birth night, and fubverted the 
ficft principles of our form of govern- 
ment, which refcrves to th: people a tinrd 
part of the legitlative power. In fup- 
port of this charge, he offers the follow- 
ing argument: ‘Ihe freehelders have. 
aright to chufe any perion not diiquali- 
fied by law. Mr Wilkes, though ex-. 
pelled by the House of Commons, ard 
declared incapable of being re-cleéted, 
is not difquahtied by laws thereforethe

thet very exticordinary advc.tifement, 
refergbly to ary other, becauwie this is 
oming to the pcint at once, upgn which 
evgry ove nay join iffue. . 
_ The queftion therefore is, whether the 
reprefentatives of the whole nation have 
Sntrimged upon the rights of the free- 
holders of fliddic{ex 5; or, whether the 
‘eleéters ‘of that county, who returned

_ ment affembled. 
: This is a teue flate of the cafe ; for

guihed by the name of prerogative i

and itis the abufe of them, ahd not

No friend to Hberty will ever permit 
thee barriers to be broken througli or 
infulted; for they are often the moft ef- 
fe€tunl check to the ambition of a def- 
potic sniniftcr, and to the tyranhy of po- 
pular frenzy. 

Of tnis fort is that privilege of par- 
liament, (feemingly contrary to the ideas 
of public juitice) that the perfont of 
their members, except in fome particular 
cafes, are exempt from arreft ; thts is a 
privilege certainly fubjeét to great Bult ; 
yet no yood citizen will ever‘wily-to fee 
parlioment deprived of it; for it ‘say, 
in many critical periods, feeure -a-Hama 
den, a Sidney, and a RGffeH frath thé 
uniiift attacks of power; thedgh Mr 
Wilkes mide avery different wie of it, 


when he walked abroad under it’s fanc- 


tion, #1 defiance of hisnumerous credi- 
tors, while many amt honeft, but lefs qua- 
lified debtor, lay ftarving m a jail . 

But if any'privilege ts peedhiarty in- 
feparable from a ‘chamber of parliament, 
it is that of preferving its own impor~ 
fance, weight, and dignity full and ert- 
tire: Wherefore they are particul 
called upon to exert that power whic 
the conftitution gives them, againft fuch 
of their body, whofe ereral condu& is 
a difgrace to their community, and’ whofe 
daily behaviour is a continued: infult 
upon their authority. That the autho- 
rity of the Commons in parliament: ex- 
tends to the expulfion of a ritember, is 
not a point thut will admit’ of difpute’s 
If then they have a power to expel, they 
muft have a ‘power to render that expul- 
fion effcStual ; for if the intent of tuch 
expulfion can be defeated *y the obftina- 
‘cy of a fingle County or Borough, the 
lioufe is Kot only difarmed of its imme- 
diate authority, but it gives a fmall nurmh-

To this Advertifement fucceeded the 
following Addreis. 
To Hexay Lurreet,of Luttelitown, 
Lieutenant Colexel of Dragoons. 
SIR, 
ye your advertifement to the freehold- 
exe of Middlefex you promite to prove 
yourklf a firm fupporter of the rights of 
eur conflituents, a xealous promoter of 
whew interefs, anda real friend to the 
Mirae wad conflitution of your couaty. 





Fro. chefe words I am induced to 
believe that you never read archbifhop 
King’s State of the Proteftaats in Ire 
land under James the Second. 

He tells us, page 87, that © whoever 

« knows the conftitution of England 
and Ireland mut obferve that the fub= 
« jefts have mo otber fecurity for their 
4 Tiberties, ies, and lives, except _ 
the intercft they have of chufing ther 
«own reprefentatives in parliament. 
© This is the bmly barrier they have 2° 
© gaint the encroachments of their go- 
* vernors. Take it away, and they are 
as abfolute flaves to the king's ‘will, 
and as mifersble as the peafants in 
«France. Whoever therefore goes a- 
* bout to deprive them of this right, 
utterly dettroys the very conftitution 
« and foundation of the government.” 

This paffage from archbithop King 
compared with your prefent attempt, 
and the words of that advertifement to 
which your name is added, perfuade me 
cither that you have never read the ad- 
vertifiment, or the archbifhop, 

And yet there is another palfage in 
the State of Ireland, which inclines me 
to fuppofe you are pretty well acquaint- 
ed with it ; and that the political fenti- 
ments at leatt (if not the religion) of 
your anceftors defcend to you with their 
fortunes. The paffage I allude to is the 
following in page 173, where we are 
told, ¢ ‘There wasa doubt mide in the 
« Houfe of Commons about the Earl 
of Strafford, whether he fhould be at- 
tainted for eft-te and 
moved in his behalf, but it was car- 
tied againft him upon this evidence— 
Coronet Simon Lut reer athrmed 
in the Houfe, that be if peard te

Line eee theres ie the kee 
to which we were to truft for our 
and fortunes; our enemies hay- 
ing intirely engroffed the power of 
making and repealing !aws, and de- 
volved it on the king's pleaiure.” 

But whether you ave, or are not ac- 
ainted with thefe matters, I will give 
firme extras fiom this vety valisole 
book ; and I will prove to the county of 
Middlefex that you are not degencrated, 
but are an amiabic and worthy fon of

By way of Anf-ver'to the foregoing dd- 
drefs, came forth the following Reply. 
U TLL ately I have always bean

qualities: but I fee now fufficient rexfon

Colonel Luttrel, the prefent xnpopuiar 
candidate for Middlefex. Ido not yet 
‘obferve any crime alledged againft the 
colonel himizif, except his being of a 
flim thape, and wearing a mighty fmall 
hat. But I find him abundandy abufed 
‘in the perfons of his anceitors, one of 
‘whom, it forms, did fomething amifs in 
the reign of James the firfks and ar >-

Ton the good people in this constr are to 
look upon him as a periin unworthy to

If this 1s to become a principie, a man 
of family and fortune is rea!ly ma worfe

‘pretenfions to cither.

To the Gentlcutn, Clery, and Frese 
kiléirs of the Courty of Middlefex, 
Cewl men, 
THevce the ncar approach cf the - 
election oblizes me tu pofipone the 
aprecablz duty cf paying my perfonal 
reipeces to every fiecholdcr, yet the very 
genious and Ipivitcd encourzgement I- 
have received, fills me with the deepeft 
{cafe of giatitude ; efpecially as no art 
has been omitted, as no {lander has been 
fp ired, to prejudice me inthe opinion of 
the public. ‘Theie aitempts, however, 
ineitcctual as they are bafe, I have treat- 
ed with filent contcmpt; their malevo- 
lence can only be equalled by their ab- 
furdity ; and I feel fome confolation on 
being placed on the roll of detraction, 
with the moft exemplary, the moft ve- 
nerable, and the moft facred chara&ers 
of my country. 

Had I on this occafion efcaped the 
rage of my opponents, I fhould be ap- 
prehenfive that [ had hitherto miftuken 
their real principles. Bur, indeed, I do 
not wonder that they fhuuld aftcét pro- 
digious folicitude fer your priviieges 
when they want to moncpolize the firtt 
coynty in| Engiand; nor do I wonder 
when they tenity the fiecholders from 
voling, that they trun; handy declaim 
on the uncxampicd unaniaicy of elec- 
tion. And yet, perhcos, a behaviour 
tuolerably decent, might fa: expected from 
men, profeltedly as aver! tu intimidation

it ‘was a$ dangerous for the M-———y to 


ebandon this’ poor fellow to the feverity 
of the law; as to give way to the cir- 
cumftances which pheaceil for his par- 
‘dons = ‘That if he was hanged, the crafty

fellow, to their,fear of fhewing him to be 
their own tool, by recommentin hia to 
the R—I mercy. That if, on the other 
hand, they complied with the duties of 
their ftations, in laying before the K —g, 
the intercefficns that were made jn his 
behalf, with the circumitances upon 
which they weve founded; the fame re- 
vilers of government would not fail to 
fay, in cafe his M y fhould grant his 
pardon, that this royal act was a con- 
trivance of. their own, to fave thcir tool 
from the gallows; an¢ to bind him there- 
by to fecrefy. That in good policy, the 
fatter was, however, preferable to the 
other. That if the man was hanged, 
the rafcals could make him make a dy- 
ing fpeech of théir own invention, pre- 
tend:ng it'to have becn conveyed to them 
one way or other. That on the contra- 
ry, if he was kept alive, and fet at h- 
berty, it would not be fo eafy for them 
to cngage a man, who had once efcaped 
fo narrowly the power of the law, to 
Rand the chance of being tricd for per- 
jury. But after all, trot honcfty was 
the belt policy, and thac therefore the 
molt eligible of all was, to pay no at- 
tention to whatever the malice of others, 
or one’s own interctt might fugeett 5 but 
to keep up to ihe rules of omce, as welll as 
to thoic of juitice and humanity: to 
let the applications for mercy take their 
natural courte to tie tarone, fulias much 
as thof fur juttice hid donz to the bar ; 
fo let the circunitances atieazed, be re- 
ferred, to whatescr postons, courts, or

36. The Sifter : A Comedy : 

‘This is the performance of Nire.Char- 
lotte Lenox, an ingenious lady, well 
known in the literary worl. by her ex. 
cellent writings, particularly the Females 
Quixote, and Shakefpeare iluitrated. 

She has tuken the fable one of 
her own novels, intitled, Hs tta, 
which renders an account of the {tory un- 
neceffary : The dialogue is natural, live- 
ly and clegant, the incidents are uncom 
mon, yet within. the pale of dramatic 
probability, and the fentiments are jult 
and refined ; it wants an interniturea€ 
light (cenes, fuch asa familiar cequain-

peryormcd at Drury-lane. 

- This is one ot Offian’s pecras con- 
verted tod dranya. Rivine, dauvhter to 
. Lathull, ‘king of the Iles, is engaged 

to Ronan, prince of Morven ;_ but Dur- 

ftan, king of the Pi&ts, being enamour- 
_ ed of the lady, bribes a fervant of Ronan 
to deliver her a forged letter, in which 
. His mafter is made to renounce hits en- 

merit in favour of a fore:gn prin- 
cels. After the receipt of this-lecter, 

Rivine, in-obedience to her father, mar- 

nies Durftan': Durftan is about to take 
- berto his €omintons, when fre difcovers 

the' fraud, and learns that Ronan has 
been ftilt tender and conftant. ‘This 
brings hr into great diftrefs, but fhe 

Mill refolves to accompuny Durftan: In 

the meantime feverai circumfances pro- 
-Guce and confirm an opinicn, that Ro- 

nah is dead. Rivine then, as no cau 
for caluinny could rife from her attach- 
ment to Ronan, changes her purpole, 
renounces Duritan, reproaches him with 
his cruel fraud, and avows her purpofe 
to continue in her native country. To 
averd foree, the ts conducted by her bro- 
ther to the cecil of a hermit. She re- 
mains fome time concealed, bu. 1s at 

lengtle found by Durftan ; as he is a- 

bout to force her away, Ronan appears. 

The report of whofe death, howev.r fup- 

ported appearances, wus not true ; 

urftan makes the lady his hofege to 
ecftrain Ronan's refenirment, and chrez- 
tens to kilb her, if he off.rs violence; in 
ts fitustion the fabs hrerftlf, and Dur- 
fiaa and Ronan immeistely engaging, 
inortally wound each other. 

The language of this. piece is hy no 
medns adapted to the drama; it is the 
fanre as the tranilator's of Offian, only 
redttced to meafure ; 1t wants nature, e- 
leyanée, harmony and eafe, and with- 
Gut geuuine poetry, there is the appear- 
ance of much Jabour to produce it; up- 
on thé whole, it produces no forcible 
or pleafing effect, ether upon the pofii- 
ops or the imagination, the audience 

rattier faired than en‘oycd it, and pro- 

by ae will never be repretented again.

Blafted by its devourmg breath, They 
wrere, however, foon undeceived, and ac- 
cufcmed themfelves by degrecs, like 
others, to the ufe of it. 

It. is not known at what period of 
fime thefé iflands were peopled, nor from 
what nstion. The fame inclinations 
difcoverable in the Japonefe, and the 
fase ideas of nobility which are here as 
rong and as romantic as in Japan, have 
Jed forme writers to believe, that they 
were a colony from that country, whic 
is little more than 17 days fail diftant. 
Others are of opinion, that the firft in- 
hsabitants came from the Philippines and 
the adjacent ifles. : 

Be this as it may, no place was ever 
found better peopled; the ifland of 
Guam had near 30,000 inhabitants to 
forty leagues in cincumference ; Saypan 
not many lef, and the rett in proportion. 

_ They were, in thort, full of towns, a 
well upon the fides of the mountains, 
ason the banks of the rivers, and in the 
vallies ; and thefe towns generally con- 
fifted of about 100, or 150 houfes each. 

‘The people of thefe iflands are taw- 

but of elier brown than thofe 
of she Philippines, and are ftronger and 
more robuft than the Europeans; they 
are tall in ftature, and their bodies are 
well proportioned. Though they live 
only upon roots, fruits, and fith, they 
are large and generally corpulent ; but 
their corpulenéy neither renders them 
clumfy nor inaftive. A hundred years 
and more was no uncommen age among 
them; and numberg were to be feen 
daily who had paffed that period, in as 
perfe&r health and vigour, to appearance, 
av if they had been but fifty. Several 

caufes contributed to their longevity 5 

their education, which inured them from 
their infaney to hardthipe by fea and

withont feafoning to quicken the appe, 
tite, or delicacies to load the ftomach 
to excefs, their moderate exercife in fith- 
ing, and cultivating the earth ; but a- 
bove all, their quiet and focial life, 
without anxiety or care, without cha- 
grin or rage, Hence it was, that th 
enjoyed ‘an almoft uninterrupted cout 
of health; for till the arrival of the 
Spaniards, they bad fearce any diftem- 
per among them that they could not 
cure by means of herbs, of which every 
one knew the virtue. 

The men went-entirely naked; but 
the women covered themfelves decently. 
‘Thete prided themfel ves upon their beau- 
ty ; but theirideas of that quality were 
very different from ours ; theirs confift- 
ed in the blackne’s of the teeth, and the 
whitenefs of their hair; hence one of 
their principal accomplifhments was to 
dye the one with herbs, and to whiten 
the other with tinflures. They wore 
their hair long; but the men thaved 
themfelves clofe, except a lock of a fine 
ger's length, which they lelt upon the 
crown of the head, after the manner of 
the Japonefe. 

‘Their language bas a near relation 
to that fpoken in the Philippines ; one 
of the chief graces of this language is 
the tranfpofition of the words, and* 
fometimes even of fyllables in the fame 
word; a sirewratiance that renders the 
meaning of the Speaker extremely equi- 
vocal, but wl rite people muchaf- 
fe&. ‘Their felf-conceit is unbounded, 
and their vanity intollerable. With- 
out the leatt knowledge of the fciences 
or polite literature, they abound in fax 
bulous ftories and paltry rhimes, to 
which they pay the highelt regard.” A. 
poet among them is adored as a fuperi- 
or being, and that title alone is fuffici- 
ent to render the poffelfor refpe@able 
throughout their nations. 

Among them they had three ranks of 
diftinion, a nobility, gentlemen, and 
populace, yet the people were fubje& to 
no chief, nor were they under the con- 
feraint of any laws ; fome ancient cuf- 
toms, however, they had among them, 
which they till religioufly adhere toy 
and which have the force of laws. 

Fithing, and the art of war, are the em- 
ployments which the firff ranks amongt 
them are trained to from their infancy 5 
hufbandry and planting are confined to 
the vulgar. ‘their Canoes are all fur- 
pricing! y light, and are cemented toge- 
ther with bitumen and lime, tempered 
with oil of cocoa, which they ule with

are a lance, and a fling. Tine -sance is 
fhod with the great bone of the leg, 
thigh, or arm of a man; thefe bones, 
which they grind to a point, are fo ve- 

emous in thenilelves, that the lea 
gplinter that remains in tbe body of a 
wounded peifon, is certain death at- 
tended with convulfions, an univerfal 
trembling of the nerves, grinding of 
the tecth, and intollerable pains; a- 
gaint which, no remedy has yet been 
difcovered. With their flings they throw 
tones with fuch force, that they will 
bury them in the trunks of trees. 

Their wars are only quarrels between 
family and family, to which they are 
eafily provoked, and as foon reconciled. 
When two or three are flain on either 
fide, the war is at an end. 

If they are but bad warriors, it mutt 
however be owned, that they excell in 
the art of diffimulation; and know 
how to cover their real fentiments better 
than any other people upon earth. 

The Spaniards were long the dupes 
of their own credulity before tuey dif- 
covered their prevailing humcur. The 
air of honeft &mplicity, which they af- 
fumed, f> captivated the Spaniards at 
firt, particularly the mifionaries, that 
the letters they fent to Europe w.re fil- 
led with nothing but encomiums on 
their good nature and tractable difpofi- 
tion. But they foon perceived, that 
inftead of openiefs and fincerity, they 
were full cf craft and fubilety, and that 
againft their deceitit was neceffiry al- 
waysto he upon the guard. It may 
be semarkedl here, thac the charace 
ter civen of thofe iflanders is common 
to all the fivages, owing in a creat 
mezfure, to the conduct cf the Hurope- 
sns themielves, who, ti!l they gain a 
Footing, are exceeding kind and oblig- 
ing; but as foon aa they are eftablifhed, 
confider the natives as flzves, and treat 
thei with Jefs humanity than they do 
the beafts of burden. Is it not there- 
fore natural, that when the Europeans 
pafs from one extream to the other, 
thel: fimple people thou'd endeavour, 
by every artifice they can, to elude 
their treachery, - 

They love jollity and pleature, and 
hove invented a thoujand fooleries to 
divert themfclves with. If they are 
now fober, it is more through necefity 
than temperance. Since they have learn- 
ed the ufe of Arrack, they make enter- 
tainments, and regale their friends with 
filh, fruits, and ftrong liquors ; at thefe 

they dance, rin, leap, wreftle, and prae- 
sie all kinds of exerciies to thew theis

take great p'eiiure in relating che ads 
ventures of their ancettors, and in re- 
peating the fabulous and extravagant 
tales of their poets. The women: too 
have their divertions, to which th y 
come dretfed with fheils, beads, and 
pearis. On thete occaliuns, they forne. 
a circle of 20 or 30, who thand in crder, 
without ftirmmg. In inis attitude, they 
fing the fabulous fongs of their pocts, 
with aharmony and juftnefs that would 
give pleasure, even in Europe. The 
meiody of their vocal airs furpatfes thae 
of the helt concert, and they hold a fore 
of fhclis in their hands, hy the clangoe 
of which, they {well the mutic of the 
chorus. 

With thefe people, marriage is no 
longer binding than the parties can 
agree. However, on which fide foever 
the caufe of feparation happens, the 
wife takes all the effects, the children 
accompany her, and the next fpoufe the 
takes looks upon himileif as their f2- 
ther, infomuch, that a poor hufband has 
fometimes the mortification te find him- 
felf in a moment deprived of his chil- 
dren and fubttance, by the fantattical 
humour of a capricious wife. 

This tyranny of. the wives -caufes an 
infinite nuu.ver of young men fo live

of their parents, and live witn then sn

Tiwfe iflanders noid murder and

being thicves, as tue name of the coun

well enough dererve the naine by which 
they are ftigmctized. They are narue

The Spaniards had experici.ce of this in 
1638 ; when the memopable thipwreck 
happened to the Conception, theie peo- 
ple treated with great humanity ail thofe 
who had the good furtune to etezpe,; and 
endeavoured to alleviate their difwefs by 
every kind of good office.

oming a plentiful harvett, and a faccefs- 
fol ifhing. Under the influcnce of 
thefetdelufions, they entertained fome 


‘ erede notions of the immortality of the

of trees, fountains of water, and fruits

No peopie can be more eloquent in

foth’in their geftures and fpeech, than 
thefe iflanders.. Nothing can be more 
doleful than their funerals; they fhed 
floods of tears; they utter cries that

without eating ; and they wafte them-

of the difference of three feet and a half 
in height of the fuperficies, without dan-

irregular banks,: and fides of ditches to

at five feveral times, turn over and over;

tindeniably, that in the ‘ttarare of things, 
the notion of a perpetual danger to ‘ti-

of government.

fuppofed to have had a heing. Nay, the 
very beft of men, having been deftated 


‘jn their own fyftcm, are apt to entertain 


2 notion that every other will end in the 
ruin 6f their country; of this take an 
inftance in the hunrour of Sir Wilhiara 
Terhiple, whofe words deférve attention : 
I édtily, fays he, difcovered how unfit a 
pofture we were in for‘any great enter-

The dignity of aC— in C—, requires 
an independant, uncontrouled power of 
action, and an unbiaffed conduct in the 
adminiftration of imprrtial juftice to the 
A+y. The want of independency in 
the’ C— in C—f, makes juftice lame, 
and the weight of Minifcrial influence is 
fuch a clog on his humanity, that how- 
ever favourable his wifhes may be, his 
iptercft, his conne€tions with the Mini- 
firy, oblige him to cppote the cauic which 
he premifed to fupport. But fhould not 
the M.of G. confider that he betrays 
the dignity of the office which he has 
the honour to hald, by promiling te per- 
form what be darcs not even attempt to 
éxecntc, unkfs it be in fuch a manger 
as in itfely’ mounts to an abfolute prohi- 
hiticn of fucces. To préve this affert- 
on, the vecancy of an enfign happened 
in the recisnent of a certain major. gene-

Befides the defence of the kingdom, 
many adv:ntageous confequences owed 
from the cumpott of falt- petre being pro- 
duced by fonielubour. Aquafortis and 
Spirits of Nitre, and other acids fo ufe- 
faj in dying, {taining of woods, refin- 
ing of na:als, and many other purpofes, 
were made in this kingdom in fueh 
quantities, as not only to fupply our 
own wants, but to inake lat ge exports ; 
quantities of rough falt-petre were uled 
by the refinérs who preparcd it for me- 
dicines and cusinary ules, but fince we 
have loft the habit of making this ftaple, 

, all the manufacturers cf it are obliged 
to depend onthe precarious fupply fiom 
beyond the feas, which occafions fuch 
a fluétuation in the prices, parucularly 
in the time of war, as diitr flzs extreme- 
ly the manufacturers, ard maxes it rather 
ganing than trading. The effects fol- 
ow, and the manufsctures depend- 
ing as above, upon fuit-petre, declined 
confiderably ; for we not only import 
great quantities of acid (pirit, but our 
Guinea traders fupply themfelves with 
gun-powder chiefly f.om Holiand.

times, acquatated the public, how eafy, 

- as well as beneficial, it would be to re- 
gain this ftaple commodity. You, ‘Sir, 
frequentiy favourcd the public with my 
thoughts, and though. the general voice 
approved, yct no fteps as yet have been 
taken towards bringihe it into execu- 
tion. (See Vol. xxxiil. .436.) 

The advantages are general, for all 
that is made here 13 gain, being the pro- 
duce of Jabour ; for the offals of gieut 


towns, the fcrapinys of cellars, and the’ 


incruftation of cuverns and rocks make 
falt-petre by the fkill of the artift and 
labour of the pecple, many of whom 
may be of the weakcit hands; and the 
making this commodity, by giving em- 
ployment to the helplets poor, would 
eafe parifhes. It was formerly, and 
might be again extended to all parts of 
the kingdom. D. Y.

T HE doétrine here laid down, *¢ that 

the Jate decifion of the Houfe of 
Comnuons with regard to Col. Luttrel]'s 
prefent feat in the common council of 
the nation is perfectly legal aud cénfit- 
tutional” is a do€trine full of ignorance, 
error, and abfurditry. An opinion 
upon any momentous point given by a 
Lord Chancellor of Great Britain ex 
cficio, will always have great weight; 
but it does not thercfore follow that 
fuch an opinion is always infallible. But 
an opinion given by the fame perfonage, 
rather offcizufly than ex officio, is no 
more than the opinion of a fimple in- 
dividual, and confequently free and 
open to the candid dilcufion of every 
other individual in the kingdom. Now, 
in all difcuffions, the end piopuled ei- 
ther is, or ought to be truth. To at- 
tain this end with clearncis, certainty, 
and precifion, I fhall first endcavour 
fully to explain waat a coufiitution is, 
fecoadly, to demonitrate the wide and 
effen:ial difference between a cenjli- 
tution anda finple ad of parliament, 
and thirdly, I fhall prove that the late 
decifion of the Cuinmons Houfe, with 
regard to Lieut. Col. Luttrell, is neither 
grounded upsm, nor fuppurted éy, nor 
refcrable to, any of our Englifd contti- 
tutions; and that therefore it cannot 
with the leaft colour or fhadow of rcaton 
be deemed confittuttonal. 

A CONsTiITUTION is a body or 
code of original laws, entered into, 
and agreed upon between the party go- 
verning, and the party governed, and 
which being formally ratified, can nei- 
ther be abolithed nor refcinded by either 
of the high contracting powers, or their 
fucceffors. 

Conformable to this definition, it 
evidently appears, we have only three 
conflstutions in this kingdom of Great 
Britain ; namely, 

x. King John’s Magna Charta. 

a. The Little Bill of Rights.

. Being in the ume confufion and incer- 
titode reljecting their rights and privi- 
Jeges, refered thit enquity 10 the very 
Jearned antiquarian and lawyer Mr John 
Geldon, to whom they depured a fub- 
committee of their houfe gn this fpecial 
accafion, Mr Seldon reported, that 
there were twenty privileges, or fpecial 
i elonging to the baronage of

releaided .all thofe who are Prelati of

priviueges, or ipecial rights conceined

Houle ;- and the, other thirteen 
privileges, o1 {pecial rights concern every

or fpecial sights. Mx Seldon farther

the privil or ‘ial rights above-

have by nonclaim, defaetade, or relin-

what would it ‘avail them? Certainly

of the realm, after he ia duly fommon- 
ed by the ctown; forit is a maxim not 
only in the civif, but alfo in our law, 
© in finili cafe, idem judicium.” 

Now if the Hoofe of Commans do 
not claim this power of ineapacitating 
aknight of the Shire from obtaining a" 
feat in parligment by virtue of fome one 
or other of the {pecial rights above-men- 
larily derive that 
power from fome: other fouree or foun-

mons had no rightto do them. Whtre 
then is the difference in point of righ#, 
between voting Mr. Wilkes incapable 
of bemg ele&ed, and voting a Commif- 
fioner of the Excife incapable? Let us 
not, however, ftop here; for, on the 
other hand, if it be true, that a vote of 
the Houfe of Commons is, in mattere 
: of ele&ion, thellaw of the land, the 
conftituents of thc Houfe will have ma- 
ny calls upon thér reprefentatives, for 
matters which they have hitherto evad- 
ed, under pretence that the Lords would 
not agree to them. Let them now by 
wote declare, the eldeft fons of peers in- 

. capable of bemg ele&ted, when they fee 
the Houfe of Lords extended in its int 
fluence through them among the Com- 
mons, Let them incapacitate by vote 
the Secretaries and Under-Secretaries in 
the preat offices of ftate, and thereby 
leffen the influence of the crown in that 
Houft. Let them incapacitate every 
military officer under the rank of a Colo- 
nel, Let them incapacitate all men who 
fhall not be in actual poffeffion of their 
alification for twelve months before 

the election, unlefs it be by defcent. 
Many other acquifitions in favour of Li- 
berty, will they now be able-to make 
a vote, which could not be obtained 

by bill. Lee their conftituents therefore 
cal] upon them to exercile this right for 
them, 328 well as againft them ; on their 
behalf as well as to their prejudice. But 
itie faid, there is a difference between 
the right of declaring Mr. Wilkes inca- 
pable, and that of declaring any other 
man incapable; for Mr. Wilkes was 
declared incapable becaufe he had been 
expelled. Mr. Wilkes's expulfion migtit 
be the reafon why the Houfe of Com- 
mons declared him incapable, but the 
reafon cannot grve the right. That 
Houfe may have equally good reafons 
for voting many other perfons incapable, 
and in the cafes I have put perhaps ftill 
ftronger ; and why fhould not thofe rea- 

’ fons give the right in fuch cafee as well 
as in the cafe of Mr. Wilkes? I repeat 
my former affertion, Mr. Wilkes was 
not rendered incapable by being expelled. 
It is the vote of the Houfe of Commons 
declaring him incapable, which is the 
ground for faying that he is incapable.

SIR, ; 
B* the gencral confent of all the civi- 
lized nations in Europe, every gen. 
tleman, properly fo called, is by the laws 
and rules of honous, either to act up to 
thofe laws and rules, on every important 
occafton throughout life, or to forfeit the 
name and character of a gentleman. and 
man of honour irretrievabiy. Thele laws 
are unwritten, and therefore it is always 
pre-uppofed, by every perfon calling 
imfclf a gentleman, that the code or 
pandeét of thefe unwritten laws of he- 
nour have been inculcated into his heart, 
mind, and even into his very blood, from 
his earlieft infancy. It is this inculca- 
tion, which, properly {peaking, is term- 
ed a good or a refined education. 
By the laws of honour above-menti- 
oned, eviry gentleman is fii&ly bound 
and enjoined not to receive a /ye or a 
blow from any perfon whatever, that is 
to fay, from the Sovereign under whom 
he.is a fubje&, down to the meaneft and 
moft defpicable man breathing, without . 
refenting fuch indignity in the manner 
fuch indignity onght to be refentcd, ub- 
der the pains and penalty of not bemg 
ever afterwards adinitted into the coni-~ 
pany of gentlemen. By this doctrine, 


‘It thould feom, that a gentleman who has 


not the {pirit co refent lo grofs an infult, 


‘ftands i$fo Jaco as much and as effectu- 
-alty excommunicated out of che focisty

you, If you were paifing judgment 
upon a ftatute whick enumerated the 
Incapacities of men for any office, and 
deciared all others to beeligible of com- 
mon right, whether you would decide, 
that any perfon -fhould be deprived of 
his claim to that common right by any 
other circumftances except thoie whic 
were enumerated ? As the interpreta- 
tion of Jaw may fall to you, it is ma; 
terial to the public, to yourfeif, and to 
your employers, that you fhould anfwer 
this queition, 

But you fay, that by your former 
vote you had gone too far to recede ; 
that you had lett but one way of acting, 
if you would be confiftent with yourfelf. 
If you really believed this doctrine, 
you have, I confefs, the excufe of a 
man, who having promifed to affaffi- 
nate, thinks himielf bound to commit 
the murder, leit he fhould break his 

romife, But you was offered another 
interpretation of that fatal vote, by a 
gentieman of great abilities. It was 
urged that the H— coald not interpret 
that vote to be any more than a rule for 
their own condu& towards Mr Wilkes, 
if he fhould become their member ; 
that they bad no right to di(qualify him 
from being a legal candidate, though 
they had a power over him from the 
moment he became one of their body ; 
gad that therefore any other intcrpreta- 
won declared the houfe to have aéted 
@ontrary to law. Why, Sir Bullface, 
did you not prefer that weaning which 
was agreeable to law, to that which 
contradicted it ? When, like your bro- 
ther clown," you snight have broke off 
at the Le circumftantial, Why did you 
rodintan that you hed given the conit- 
tion the lie direct ? 

The H— of C--, you fay, ts a court 
of record: This is the foundation ot 
your argument, and here is its infitmity, 
‘Pine jurifdiction and power of courts 
Of record sre limited; and if the vote 
of dityuul Acation exceeded thole paw- 
ers, the frecholders and fheriffa were 
ro more bound tu take Notice of it, 
thes they wowid be bound to take no- 
qice of an order of the court of Exch

whan tbey come before it in a judicial

MapDam, 


ie an{wer to the important qucftion 
you have fent me, whether you can 
with a good coniciénce, deliver up your 
new burn infant to be fuckled by a 
Rranger, be pleafed to run over the fol 
lowing obfervations. 

Though it feems natural, and is cer- 
tainly a mark of affection in mothers, te 
fuckie their children, yet it fhoutd ap- 
pear to be equally wholefome to infauts, 
whatever brea they are pnt to, where 
the quantity and quality of the milk are 
the fume. If this were not the cafe, 
patuie would have been extremely d:f- 
cienc in her provifion for iafants, as the 
number of mothers is very contiderable, 
either from death, ficknefs, or want of 
milk, who are utterly unable to feckle 
their chiJdren. 

Itis fuppoid by many, that the milk 
of a mother mult be more suitable to the 
offspring, becaule their frames of bady, 
and their conflitutions are faid to refem- 
ble each other; but this is not proved. 
Af it had ever been oblerved, that upon 
the exchanging two infants at the breaits 
of their mothers, or the young ones of 
any other creature, they fickeicd and 
pined, and, upon being icplaced, they 
secovered their vigour, fuch an argu- 
rocnt would confiin the opinion ; but,

The Purport of the SPEECH of the 
the Right Hon. L--d M--nf---d, ina 
late celebrated Caufe. 

Muft own that this caufe before us is 

the greateft and moft important that 

occurs to me: it is no lefs than an attack 
upon the virtue and honour of a lady of 
the firtt quality, in order to difpoffefs a 
young gentleman of an eminent fortune, 
reduce him to beegary, ftrip him of his 
birthright, declare him an alien, and a 
foundling. | have flept and waked up- 
on the fubjcdt, confidered it on my psl> 
low, to the lofing of my natural reft, 
and with all the judgment I wak capable, 
have conndered the various articles thet 
make up this long and voluminous caufe, 
upen which J am now to give iy opi- 
nion befure your lordfhips. 

} appichend that in the matter before 
uf, three thirgs are to be confidered. |

jage Douglas, as their Son; nor can 
‘bp. wrefted from the hands of his pa- 
unlefs fome other had in their 
ifectime claimed him as theic child in a 


wee and juftifiable way. 
his sation, my lords, did not lie a- 
jrat the appellint as an impoftor ; 
ran impoftor, in the fenfe of the law, 
ia a.perfon who wilfully and knowingly 
ends:to be a different one from what 

‘really it, in order to «lefraud another, 
‘and ‘to impofe under a fidtitions name 
‘spon the public. If any be an impof= 
-tor, it moft have been Lady Jane, whom 

“they ought to have profecuted in her 
Jife-time, and not at the diftance of 
“wine years after her death: the method. 
@f difcovering an impoftor, is to brin 
his accomplice to the court before whic! 
the impoftor was arraigned ; and if, af- 
ter a fair trial, the accufed perfon be 
found guilty, et him take the confe- 

uences thereof: but this the refpon- 

ents have negletted : the appellant has 
teen for five years four months and 
twelve days, the acknowledged fon of 
Lady Jane Douglas; and for thirteen 
years and two months the fon of Sir 
John Stewart, before any attempt was 
made, to rob him of his parents, his 
birthright, and his all. 

As the Lord Chancellor has ant 
pated much of what I intended to fpeak 
tapon this fubje&, fo I thall only touch 
‘at the fituation and charaéter of the de- 
teafed, whom I remember, in the year 
3750» to have been in the mott deplo- 
fable cireumftances. She came to me, 
(L keing then Solicitor-General) in a 
very Gelitute condition, and yet her 
Mmodefty would not fuffer her to com- 
plain. ‘The Noblewoman was evcry 
way vifible, even under all the preffure 
of want and poverty. Her vifage and 
appearance were more powerful advo- 
cates than her voice ; and yet I was a- 
fraid to offer her relict, for fear cf be- 
ing confrugted to pofftr her an indig- 
nity. In this manner the came twice 
to my boufes before I fnew her real 
pecefiities ; to relieve which was my aim. 
E.fpeke to Mr Pelbam in her favour;

told him of her fituation with regard ‘> 
her brother the Duke of Douglas suxt 


of her prefent ftraits and difficulties. 
Mr Pelham, without delay, Jaid the 
matter before the King: the Duke of 


Newcaftle then bein 
wrote to; he feeonded the folicitation 
of his brother. His Majefty immedi- 
ately granted het 3001, per annum ont 
of his privy purfes and Mr Pelham 
was fo generous as to order 1561.-of 
tlie money to be inftantly paid. F ean 
affure your lordthips, that I never did 
trouble his Majefty for any other. La- 
dy Jane Douglas was the Grit and lat 
who ever had a penfion by my means. 
At that time I looked upon her to be a 
Tady of the ftriéteft honour and inte- 
grity, and to have the deepelt fenfe of 
the grandeur of the family from whence 
the was Sprung s a family confpicuowfly 
great in Scotland for a thoufand years 
ft; a family whofe numerous branches 
‘ave {pread over Europe ; they have fre- 
juently intermarried with the blood roy- 
al; and the herfelf was defended from 
Henry VII. I took care that his late 
Majelty thould be made acquainted with 
her family and name, to the intent that, 
tho" the was married to Col. Stewart, 
3 diffipated and licentious man, and 
who had been in the Rebellion, in 
1715, yet he would pafs it over, as the 
was of a race who had always been emi- 
neatly loyal, her brother having charg- 
ed as a volunteer at the head of the ca~ 
valry in the year 715, when his coufin, 
the Earl of Forfar, died like a hero in 
defence of the government; and that 
his Grace had, in 1745, treated the re- 
and their leader with contempt and 
cule : and indeed his Majefty, from 
his wonted magnanimity, fpoke nothing 
of her hufband ; but treated her with 
all the refpe& due to a Noblewoman of 
the firtt rank and quality ; one who car- 
ried all the appearance of a perfon hahi- 
tuated to devotion; and for 2 number 
of years trained up in the {chool of ad- 
vitfity ahd difappointment. 
Ist poffible, my Lords, to imagine 
that a woman of fuch a family, of fuch 
high honour, and who had a rev! fenfe 
of her own dignity, could be fo bafe'as 
to impofe falfe children upon the world? 
‘Would the have owned them on every 
oecafion? Wee ever mother more af- 
feéted for the death of a child, than the 
was for the death of Sholto, the younger 
of her fons? * Will you (faid the) in-

250. L—-dM—fi-d’s Speech on a late celebrated Caufe. 


And after {peaking of his death, the 
faid,—*‘ fhe thanked God that her fon 
Archie was alive. 
would the enemies of me and my chil- 
dren fay, if they faw me lying in the 
duit of death upon account of the death 
of my fon Sholto; Woild they have,a- 
ny ftronger proof of their being my 
children than my dying for them ?” 
She ftill. nfifed that the thock which 


fhe received by the death of Sholto, 


and other griets fhe had met with, 
were fo fevere upon her, that fhe was 
perfe&ly perfuaded fhe would never 
recover, but contidered herfelf as a 
dying woman, ard one who was foon 
to appear in the prefence of Almighty 
God, and to whom fhe muft aniwer. 
She declared that the children Archie 
and Sholto, were born of her body, 
and that there was one bieffing of which 
her enemies could not deprive her, 
which was her iannocency, and that fhe 
gould pray to Almighty Gd for the 
life of her other fon; that the was not 
afraid tor him, for that God Almighty 
would take care of him! And what is 
remarkable, the witnefs, M Ma- 
crabie abferved, that the grief for the 
lofs of the child grew upon her. Would 
fhe, my Lords, have bleffed her fur- 
viving child on her death bed ? Would 
fhe have died with a tie in her mouth, 
and perjury in her right hand ?—Cha- 
rity, that thinketh no evil, will not 
fuffer me for a moment to harbour an 
opinion fo cruel and prepofterous ; 
nor can we fuppofe, that two people, 
who had not wherewith to fupport 
themfelves, would be follicitous, and 
thew all the tendernefs of parents to- 
wards the children of creatures, who 
forgetting the frit Principles of infting&t 
and hgmanity, had fold their children 
to people whom they did not fo much 
as know by their names. The act of 
Jofeph’s brethren in felling him is re- 

refented as wicked and unnatural, but 
indeed the crime of Ma:lam Mignon, 
and of Madam Sanry, 1s ttit! more black 
and attrocious !—~To carry this a little 
further, fuppofe Lay Jane Douglas 
had acted this out cfa principle of re- 
wenge towards the family of Hamilton, 
yet Sir John Stewart had no occafion 
to do fo, much lefs continue the vin- 
di@ive farce after her death, efpecial- 
ly when married to another {poute, And 
here we may fee Sir John as mucha 

arent to the appellant as Lady Jane;

in evidence ; I know it to be true: my 
bier and Ihave been frequently at Mr. 
Murray's with them, and were always 


What, faid the, 


delighted with the care we obferved.” 
No mortal harboured any thoughts of 
their being falfe children at that time, | 
I mean in 1750 and 1751. Every per- 
fon looked upon them as the children 
of Lady Jane Douglas, and of Colonel 
Stewart. The Countefs of Eglinton, 
Lord Lindores, and many others, have. 
upon oath, declared the fame thing. 

No fooner dogs the Cylonel hear of. 
the afperfions raifed at Douglas Caftle, 
and of Archibald Stewart's {wearing 
that Count Douglas, a French noble- 
man, had informed the Duke of Dou- 
gias that they had been bought out of 
an hofpital, than he returned an an- 
fwer to Mr. Loch, who gave the in- 
telligence in a letter to Mrs. Hewitt, 
and wrote him in all theterms of aman 
of fpirit, cordially interefted in the 
welfare and happinefs of his fon ; but 
he and Lady Jane begged the favour of 
Chevalier Douglas, a French gentleman 
and officer, then at London, to ac- 
quaint his coufin the Count with what 
was faid of bim. This the Chevalief 
undertook, and fulfilled with the fide- | 
lity of a man of honour ; and the 
Count, in confequence of the applica. 
tion, wrote a Ictter not only to Lady 
Jane, but to her brother the Duke, in 
all the language of politenefs and hu-. 
manity, difowning what was faid of 

im. 

But, my Lords, the Duke of Douglag 
himfelf was fully fatishied of the Appel. 
Jant's being the real fon of his filter 
Lady Jane; for, on beginning to be 
known after his marriage, and to relifh 
the pleafures of focial fife, he became 
very inquilitive ‘‘ about the fize, thape; 
and complexion, of the Appellant, and 
if he appeared to be a fmart boy.” He 
employed Sir William Douglas, and o- 
thers in whom he could confide, to eng 
quire of Mrs. Hewitt, Lady Jane's com- 

anion, and of Euphemia Caw and 

fabel Walker, the two maid fervants 
who had lived with them when abroad 
and obferved their conduct in the mof 
unguarded moments, concerning the 
birth of the children ; he even fearehed 
into the characters of thefe, and it ape 
pears from the depofitions of Clergy- 
men and Gentlemen, of the firtt rank 
in that country, that they were women 
worthy to be believed. He even went 
in perfon to vitit Mrs. Hewitt, conver- 
fed with her in prefence of his gentle- 
man, Mr. Greentheils, concerning his 
fifter’s delivery ; and the accounts giv- 
en by thefe, like the radii of a circle, 
all pointing toward one and the fame 
centre, Confirming the reality of iy

Douglas, or Colonel Stewart ; they 
have indeed proved her ftraits there, 
and his impifonment here; but both 
thete circumftances carry a further con- 
firmation that the Appellant is their 
fon ; for in every letter that pated he- 

tween them, the children are named 
with a tendernefs fcarce to be believed ; 
whereas, had they been counterfeits,

‘that the had never feen Lady Jane ;‘hy ~

earnettly defied to keep in view, to 
prove him to have been the identical 
Sholto, the younger of the twins; and. 
now evidence is offered that the child 
Sholtohad no rupture, but was as found

19. An Appendix to the prefent State 
of the Nation, containing a Reply to the 
Obfervations on that Pamphlet. Al- 
son. 15. 
HIS wniter obferves, that a gen- 
tleman of diftinguifhed charac- 
ter, who, in the’Obiervations is addref- 
fed asthe author of the State of the 
Nation, has'difavowed it by publick 
advertifement, and m:ay times declared 
that he neither was the author of it, 
ior agreed with the author in every 
thing it contained. 

The Reply to the Obfervations is 
here reduced to the correfponding arti- 
cles, as they ftand in our epitome, p. 
3 5%. 

This author inffts that bis affertion 
¥ the caprying trade of this country 
¢ was ruined during the war, ftands 
© unimpeached,’ notwithftanding the 
capture of the French iflands occafioned 
‘our merchants to purchafe fhipping for 
the importation of their pro udts, for 
by the carrying trade he means the 
tranfportation of foreign commodities, 
Srcem one foreign country to another, tak- 
sag eur own country in the way, and 


“not the tranfportation of the produés - 


of, our own deminions, or of countries 
. which become our own by conqueft. - 
Concerning the premiums at which 
.we. borrowed money during the war, 
the account ftands jufl as it did before 
this pamphlet appeared ; but the author 
fays, that the Obfervator's objection to 
tie account of the Fiench revenue de- 
p nds upon a miftake which was core 
seéted in an edition of the State of the 
Nation then advertifed, but not pub- 
Jithed. The faé&t is that of 50,32;,36-1. 
railed by France for the expences of the 
war 10,109,161 1. was railed by taxes 
impofed during the war, all which have 
been fince remitted; the tax upon-to- 
bacco was pawned only till 1768, and 
therefore is now liberated; the old re- 
vents which were anticipated during 
tie war will have worked themfelves 
cléar in 1768, except a fmall part which 
wiil alfy be clear in 1771 5 the remain- 
ing furs, with which the old revenue ig 
_burdened, amount to no more thar 
18,772,7261. of which 4,545,454]. is 
in a courle of diftharge, fa that taking 
in the augmentation of the officer's fa- 
laries, adding the premium for the re- 
newal of the: farm, and charging as 
debt the full fums which were advanced 
upon thofe accounts, the total will be 
no more than 22,323,312]. and this is 
the whole amount of the charge re- 


maining upon the vat fapding reveaue 


of France as the confequence of the laft 
war, while probably, not one confide- 
rabfe tax is now remaining upon the 
people which was then impojed, and this 
the author fuppofes will abundantly 
juftify the reprefentations he has made 
of the different effects of the late war 
upon the two nations. What, fays he, 
muit the ingenious and candid think of 
the integrity of the writer of the Ob- 
fervations, when they compare the ac- 
count I have flated of the funs raifed 
by France, for tne occafions of the war, 
with his affertion (page 36) printed in 
Italics ; left it thould efcape their no- 
tice, that thofe ‘‘ idextical fums were 
borrowed by France uppw intercft.’” 
And he repeats it again ‘¢ that the ere- 
«¢ dit of France, bad as it might have - 
‘€ been, did enable her (not ta raite 
«¢ within the year) but to dorrow (in 
© Italics) the very fms the author of © 
‘the State of the Nation mentions, 
© ie 50,314;3781.” I will not 
aggravate the feelings of this unhappy 
man, his own confcience will be fuffi- 
ciently fevere in its reprehenfions ; nor 
is it neceffary for me to fupport my own 
credit, by ruining his ; and if it were 
neceffary, he has done it moft effectu- 
ally himielf ; for it was not enough for 
him, with a copy of the account I have 
wiitten from, before his eyes, (for he 
confeffus mine agrees ex2tly with his,) 
to affert what he faw was not the truth, 
in regard to the manner in which France 
provided for the expences of the war, 
and in which he muft, have expected to 
be’ contradi¢ted by all mankind when- 
ever I puoliflcd the particulars of the 
account, but he mult alfo in page 38, 
within the compafs of a few lines, fup- 
ply the seader with ample matter for 
queftioning his veracity or information ; 
he there fays, *¢ that France has taker 
“s oo but a fingle vingtieine and fome 
*¢ {niall matter in the capitation fince 
‘© the peace ;"" and then he tells us, 
‘¢ thathe fpeaks from very good in- 
‘© formation, and that the annual in- 
“ come of that ftate is at this day 
*€ 1,355,000]. /hort of a provifen for 
« thetr ordinary peace eRablifouent.”” 

Concerning the having obtained an 
inadequate peace, even upon a (uppofition 
that we obtained the original great pur- 
potes of the war, this author fays no- 
thing ; and concerning the advantage 
of Jeizing, what it was of no advan- 
tage to keep, he fays nothiag so the 
purpofe. We proceed then to the next 
article. 

The author fays, he has got. afferted

thet’ our'wranufaftocers and artiGeers 
have already deferted us, or that the re- 
venue, from, confunption is already di- 
minithed ; but that they are the proba- 
Bde confequences of our heavy taxes. To 
thecharge of having ftated the ballance 
of trade much too low,. what fays this 
auther muft I reply? If I produce 
proofs in my defenceawhich might de- 
raonftrate, that the error lies dn the 
ether Ade, 1 thall be juftly accufed of. 
‘unneceffarily expofing' the nakednefs of 
my country’; And if I withold them; I 
muf fibmit to this writer's illiberat 
cenfure. To the latter I. will much 
regdier fubmit, than be the sccafion of 
doing an injury to my country. I will 
mot therefore offer any proof, aor em- 
ploy any arguments in defence of my 
fuppofitious ballance of 2 millions. I 
Hope it is below the truth, and I fubmit 
to the Obfervator's charge of having 
misftated it. 

Very little is here faid in defence of 
taxing Ireland and the colonies, and no~ 
thing about having given up the fum 

ropofed to be fo raifed by reducing the 
fin |-tax, but the author obferves that 
the Obfervator has offered no remedy 
for, publick grievances, norpropofed a 
fingle meafure for relieving the nation 
from her difficulties, though he admits 
the public debt the greateft fource of 
diftrefs, to be fairly Rated ; having fet 
at nought the remedies, faysthis author 
which I had propofed, he clofes his 
book and difmiffes his country with this 
comfort, that however alarming may be 
the appearance of her difeafe, the medi- 
cines which have been prefented will 
have no efficacy, and the mutt centinue 
to languith without remedy, till he dif 
clofes the fecret roftrum which he now 
witholds, and which alone can give 
her relief. 

Upon the whole, it feems to be agreed 
that the publick debt, if fuffered con- 
tinwally to encreafe, muft end in pub- 
lick ruin: the author of the State of 
propofes a method of re- 
which the Obfervator does 
hot approve ; the Obfervator, however, 
has offered nothin, remedy for the 
ackuowledged evil in its ftead. ‘The 
author of the State of the Nation fays, 
England is ina worfe {tate than France; 
the Obfervatoi that France is in a werle 
Mate than England. France and En- 
Shand may be confidered as two perfons

20. The Life eof Alexander Pope 
Ef; compiled, | from original MSS. wit 
a critical Efay on bis Writings and 
Genius, By Owen Ruffhead, 2/3 8v0. 

This Life of Mr Pope is faid, in a 
a thort advertifement prefixed, to have 
been compiled from original MSS. 
which were communicated to the writer 
by Dr Warburton, the prefent hifliop of 
Gloucefter, who ‘was intimately ac- 
quainted with Mr Pope during the 
latter part of his life ; ‘but there is fcarce 
a fingle event related in it that may not 
be found either in the notes and com~ 
mentary with which the bithop has ile 
luftrated his works, or in the Epiftolary 
Correfpondence of Mr Pope and hie 
friends, with which the publick is well 
acquainted ; there are, however, many 
events relative to Mr Pope's life fcatter= 
ed about in various publications whic 
Mr Ruffhead bas not brought together 5 
no notice is taken of the firft publica~ 
tion of his Letters, which fome fap~ 
pofed to have been fold to Cusle by a 
Jady with whom his friend Cromwell 
had. a criminal conneétion, and which 
by fome were reported to have been fold 
by Pope himfelf difguited like a clergy 
man ; nothing is {aid of his trantadione 
with Curle, of the play called Three 
Hours after Marriage, of his quarrel 
with Cibber, of Cibber's celebrated 
etter to him, or of many pieces which’ - 
‘Mr Pope is known to have writtén that 
do not indecd reflect honour upon his 
memory, but of which, fome notice 
fhould have been taken by a faithiul 
and impartial biographer, though an 
eulogift might have been allowed to pals 
over them in filence. 

‘A great part of the vclume confilts 
of large extraéts from Mr Pope's poeti- 
cal works as they ftand in Dr War- 
burton’s edition, and a narrative of 
what is contained in the parts not ex+ 
trated, both which appear to have been 
wholly unneceffury; Mr Ruffhead fays 
of fine paffaccs, that they are fine, aid. 
of feeble paflages, that they are feeble 
but recommending poetical beauty, 
like remarking the {plendor af Gautianes,

e 6 Lift of Books—with Remarks. 
The times to which Mr Ruffhead 


refers fome events of Mr Pope's lite, 
and the publication of fome of his pie- 
ces are manifefily erroneous; and in 
fome inftances, the account ts contra- 
di€tory ; he fays in one place, that Mr 
Pope had a genteel competence, at @ 
time, when in another piace, he fays he 
had not money cnough to buy the books 
he wanted to confult: He fays that his 
acquaintance with Addifun commenced 
in 1713, though it appears that Pope 
fhewed him his Rape of the Lock before 
he added the machinery which mut 
have been in 1713, and Addifon's be- 
haviour on this occafion is fuppofed to 
have given Pope the firlt fufpicion of 
his being envious and infincere ; he fays 
that Pope’s fortune and reputation were 
eftablithed by his tranflation of Homer, at 
a time when gieat part even of the Iliad 
was unpublifhed, and many other marks 
of inattention and negligence are to be 
traced in the work from the beginning 
to the end. ; 

The principal novelty in this work 
is an account of an Epic poem which 
Mr Pope projeéted in the vigour of his 
life, upon a ftory related by the old an- 
nalift’ Geoffery of Monmouth, con- 
cerning the arrival of Brutus, the fup- 
pofed grandion of Airicas in our ifland, 
and the firft founding of the British 
monarchy; a fketch of this poem lay 
before Mr Ruffhead, and he has given 
it to the public in the following terms. 

As Eneas was famed for his piety, 
fo his grandion’s characteriftic was be- 
nevolence ; the firft predominant prin- 
ciple of his charaéter, which prompted 
his endeavours to redeem the remains of 
his countrymen, the defcendants from 
Troy, then captives in Greece, and to 
eftablith their freedom and felicity ina 
jut form of government. 

He goes to Epirus, from thence he 
travels all over Greece: collects all the 
{cattered Tiojans; and redeems them 
with the treafures he brought from Italy. 

Having colle&ed his {cattered coun- 
trymen, he confults the oracle of Do- 
dona, and is promifed a fettlement int 
an ifland, which, from the defcsiption, 
appears to have been Britain. He then 
puts to fea, and enters the Atlantic 
@cean. 

The firft book was intended to opert 
with the appearance cf Brutue at the 
ftraits of Calpe, in Gghtof the pillars 
of Hercules, (the we plus ultra.) He 
was to haye been introduced debating 

jn council with his.captains, whether it

ocean, om an en bold avé ka- 
zardous as that of the great Columbus. 

One reafon, among others, affi 
by Brutus, for attempting the great 
ocean in fearch of a new ceuntry, wat; 
that he entertained no profpéR of intre- 
ducing pure manners in any part oF 
the then known world; but that he 
might do it among a people uncor- 
rupt in their manners, worthy to be 
made happy ; and wanting only arts 
and laws to that purpole. 

A debate enfues. Pifander, an old 
Trojan, is rather for fettling in Beticas 
a rich country, near the ftraits, within 
the Mediterranead, of whole wealth 
they had heard great fame at @artuage. 
Brutus apprehends that the fofinels of 
the climate, and the gold found theres 
would corrupt their manners ; betides, 
that the Tyrians, who had eftablithed 
great commerce there, had introduced 
their fuperftitions among the nativess 
and made them unapt to receive the in- 
fiructions he was defirous to give. 

Cloanthes, one of his captains, out of 
ivarice and effeminacy, neverthclef, de- 
fires to fettle in a rich and fertiie coun- 
try, rather than to tempt the dancers of 
the ocean, out of a romantic notion of 
hetoifm. 

This has fuch an effeét, that the 
whole council being difmayed, are un- 
willing to pafs the ftraits, and venturé’ 
into the great occan; pleading the ex- 
ample of Hercules for not advancing 
farther, and urging the prefumption of 
going beyond a God. ‘To which Bru- 
tus, rifing with cmotion anfwers, that 
Hercules was but a mortal like them 3 
and that if their virtue was fuperior to 
his, they would have the fame claim to 
divinity: for that the path of virtue, 
was the only way which lay open td 
heaven. . 

At length he rcfolves to go in a fingle 
fhip, and to rejeét all fuch dattards, ag. 
dared not accompany him. 

Upon this, Orontes takes fire, declares 
he will attend hin through any dangers { 
that he wants no orice, but his own 
courage, and the love of glory. Thaé 
it was for merchants like the Tyrians, 
not for herocs like them, to make trad- 
ing fettlements in a country, for the fake 
of its wealth, 

All the younger pert of the council 
agree tothe fentiments of Orontes; and, 
from the love they bear to Brutus, de er- 
mine to be the companions of his enter- 
prize, and it is relolved to fet fail the 
next day, That night Hercules appears

becaufe heaven never works miracles, 
but for the sood. About midnight they 
are attacked again by the Barbarians, 
and the tight of the aurora, is of great 
ufe to them for their defence. 

Brutus kills their chief leader, and 
Orontes the three next in command. 
This difcourages them, and they fly up 
into the country. He makes prifoners 
of foms of the natives, who had been 
ufed to thofe feas, and enquires of them 
conccri.ing a great ifland to the fouth 
weit of their country ; they tell him they 

- had been in fuch an ifiand upon pirati- 
cal voyages, and had carried fome of 
the natives into ciptivify. He obtains 
forne of thefe captives, whom he finds 
to be Britons; they deicribe their coun- 
try to him, and undertake to pilot hin. 
' In the next book, Brutus touches at 
the Orcades, and a piture is given of 
the manners of the favages. “The North 
Britons he brought with him from Nor- 
way, reinte ttrange ftories concerning 
one of the greaieft of their iflands fup- 
pofed to be inhabited by Demone, who 
torbid all accef. to it by thinders, ea th-

tion in Greece, that in one of the north- 
ein iflands of the ocean, fome of the 
Titans were confined after their over-

their fuperftition, refolves to lard in

The poem on the mifchiefs of arbi- 
trary power was to open with a view 
and defcription of Mount Etna or Ve- 
fuvius, after a long intermiffion from 
eruptions; in which was given a pic~ 
ture of all rural fei in the moft 
enchanting fecres of vineyards and o- 
live yards im one piace, the produ&s of _ 
Ceres in ancther, and flowery paltures, 
overfpread with flocks and herds, in @ 
third, while che thepherde were indulging 
themfelves in the:r rural dznces, fonge. 
and mufic; andthe hufbandmen in feats 
of aétivity. In the heat of thele amulee 













ments, heard the rumbl dl 
bowel ‘mountaii 

ot f 
of approaching defolstion, a torrent of 
Tiquid fre breaks out from the mouth, 


and running down the declivity, carries 
away every thing in its paifage. 

‘hat on the felly of ambition, and a 
ame, was to open with the view of & 
wide champain defart country ; in the 
midft of which was a large heap of 
fhapclefs and deformed ruins, under the 
fhadow of which was {een a thepherd's 
fhed, who at his door was tending a few 
fheep and goats. The ruins attract the 
eye of a traveller pafling by, who, curi- 
ous to be informed of what he faw, ad- 
dreffes himfelf to the fhepherd, to know 
to what fuperb ftruStures thefe ruins be- 
longed. The fheplerd entertains him 
with an abfurd and fabulous account of

This principie being allowed, it will 
follow that he who writes the beft ver-

controverted, and if Mr Pope cannot

in ashigh a degree as any poet, aneient or 
modern, will appear to be, if their num- 
bers are fet afide ; fet the Mcffiah, the 
Epittle of Eloif, the Elegy to the Me- 
mory of an unfortunate Lady, and man 
other paffages, be fet againit the be 
that can be felecled from other authors, 
and perhaps they will lofe nothing in 
the compariton. It may, indeed, be 
faid, that Pope has difplayed his power 
to excel in the fublime and pathetic, 
only occafionaily ; but, it might as 
well be objected to Milo’s @ringth, thst 
he caritd an ox but once, as to Pope's 
excellence in the pathetic and fublime, 
that he did nct always difplay it. 

Mr Pope's invention in the Rape of 
the Lock, is allowed by ali; he had 
therefore invention, which be might have 
exerted more fiequently, if he had 
thcught proper to chule fubjeéts that 
woud have mude it neceflary or proper. 
It has been objeted to Pope, that he did 
not invert the machinery of that Poem, 
buc it might as well be objected to Ho- 
mer, that he did not invent the machi- 
nery of the Ihad: Homer found his 
machinery in the populiir religion of his 
time, at leait, the perfons, in a ftate 
much fitice fer his ule, than Pope found 
bis syiphs and Gnomes, in the opinions 
of tie Rofe-rulians.: the invention of 
both writers, appears in the ufe they have 
made of te inaginary beings, and 
Pope's tavertion thus tried, will, per- 
hays, appear to lofe nothing inthe com- 

ation with Homer's, if they are both 
Lroustt to this teft, 

Somcthing of this Mr Ruffhead has 
Sugeciled, and fo far he has tupported 
Pope's charsQer.

139+ Thoughts on Brightelmftone. 
Concerning Sea bathing, and drinking 
Sea-water, With fome Dire@ions for ‘ 
their Ufe. By John Awliter, M, D. 
¢o. as. Wilkic.-Dr Awhter thinks, 
that fea falt, or. common kitchen falt, 
diffolved in warm humen urive, is a 
certain cure for the bite of a mad dog, 
provided the part is wathed with 
the firlt ftage of the diforder. His di- 
reGtions for drinking {ea water are as 
follow : ‘ 

To drink fea water is certainly of 
great ufe in many cafes, it cleanfes the 
glands, and excites them toa difcharge 
of whatever obftrués them, &c. but 
there are inconveniencjes that arife 
from the conftant ufé of it, which ought 
to be provided againf.. There are 
many conftitutions too delicate, and 
ftomacks too weak to bear the naufea 
and ficknefs it produces, and even 
where this inconvenience is.avercome 

ftruggles, it makes ihe party very 
irfty the remainder of the day, Thele 
are material objeétions to the conftant 
ufe of it, and unlefs ufed conflantly, 
‘we cannot expect to derive much bene= 
fit from it. 

When it is.taken two or three times, 
fn quality of a purge, the ficknefs it 
produces ie not detrimental, but, on 
the contrary, often ferviceable, and a 

ood preparative toa courfe of bath- 
fng, where pleafire moflly is concern- 
ed, but when it is meant to be conti- 
nued, as an alterative diluent, it will 
not do. For example, in a glandular 
confurption, where contantly pur ing 
the body is not defred, ens 
the patient. oe 
‘To remedy thefeinconveniencies, I 
would recommend the fea-water to he 
drank every morning in froall qua 
ties, not to exceed a quarter of a pint 
at one time, and that mixed with an 
equal quantity of new milk, by. this 
means the ficknefe and the thirft will 
be prevented, and thus united, be- 
come a noble medicine, they are cor- 
reétors to each other, and neither the 
milk or fea-water, {0 combined, will 
difagree with the flomach, that could 
not bear either of them feparately. 
“When fea water is required a6 a 
gentle purge, and the ftomach not-able 
to bear it, I recommend the following. 
Take of fea-water and milk each 
four ounces ; put them over the fire 5 
and when they begin to boil, add a fut- 

Siciency of Cremor Tartar toturn into 

whey, -frain it from the curd,- and ,

+ This enterprizing genius is a native of 
kingdom of Maiffore, on the coait 
Coromandel. In’ the early part of 
Tife he embraced the profeffion of a 
fier in his own country; but being 
Mdefirous of obtaining real military know- 
» he entered as a common, Seapoy, 
the Dutch fervice at Nagzpatnam, 
and foon after into ours, where he be- 
haved extremely well in the low rank of 
y tale his reftlefs fpirit would not 
iffer him to yemain long in this fimma- 
tion ; for he in a fhort rime went over 
to the French, and continued with them 
near’ two years at Pondicherry. In- 
eae the European languages, and, 
mauner of making war, he return- 
gto his ewn country, and foon con- 
vineed Nawndrauze, the Maiffore gene- 
ral, and uncle to the king, of his cou- 
rage and abilities in feveral important 
vundertakin; 
About the year 1755,3 rebellion was, 
” exited at Maiffore by the intrigues of 
F Nawndrauze, to whom Hyder Ally 
= gaade himfelf a principal inttrument,

conliderable fervice he did them, was by 
throwing a laige quantity of provifio 
into that fortrefs, and continually har+

having marched trom Trichinopoly with 
a laige body of Seayays,. attacked the 
fronuers of Maiffore, took two or three 


Amal forts, and polfeffed himfelf, after 


an obftinate refiltance, of Carriour, the

gave foch un alarzh 10 Hytes Aly, thag 
he was obliged to withdraw his troops 
from: the alliftance of the French, in 
order to preferve h's own country, where 
he had behaved. with f much tyranny,

during his abfence, took the moft effec-

defpotifim, alledged, that folely through 
his mifeondudt they were unable to pay 
it, and found means to initate the Ma~ 
rattas fo much againit him, that they 
immediately attacked him, and forced 
him to retire ont of the country; on, 
which the king of Maiffore refumed 
throne, fatisfied the Marattas for the 
fhare they had in this revolution, and 
made peace with the Englith difavowing

398 Vindication of the Authenticity of Solomson's Song. 


Mr URBan, 
N a ferter figned S. D. jn your lat 
Magazine, the writer of it quot:s 2 
ffage from the Critical Reviewers 5 
gn which is an obftrvation he tckes to be 
mew ; and which reide:s the authenti« 
city of the houk of Sslamoa’s fong ful- 
ed, and defies the fentiments of 
any of your correfpendents concerning 
at.. I cannot oblige hin better, than by 
fending you the following extrac out 
of the laft edit’on of Dr Gill's Expofi- 
tion of that book ;. by which it appears, 
that the obfervationds not quite new, 
and that the objciion upon it is capa- 
ble of afolution. A learned man, the 
doftor frys, “ obferves, that the word 
David, from its. frit appearance in 
Ruth, where itis written TV, without 
the Yod, continues to be fo written 
through the books of Samuel, Kings, 
Pfalins, Proverbs, Ijaich, Fer. miab, 
and Ezekiel; but appears with a Tod 
+S, in the books of Chronicles, Ex- 
ra, Nebemiah, and Zeckariab 5 where- 
fore he fuggefts, that if it was cuftom- 
ary to writ this word without a Yod, 
until the captivity, and with one after 
it; then he thinks a2 ftrong argument 
may be drawn froin hence againtt the 
antiquity of the Canticles, and its being 
made by Sclomenr, fince this name is 
written with a 2¢4in Cant. iv. 4. the 
only place in it in which it is written. 
But in anfwer to this, it inunt be faid, 
it is not fat, that the word is univer- 
fally ufed witnout the 7¢d .a the booxs 
meniioned, particuiarly i the beok of 
Kiugs; for the authors of the 3:4,/3reb 
have obfeived, on x Kings ai. 1g. chat 
it is five times written ful! a. they cn 
it, thatic, with a Yet TY; three or 
the places in the Loox of wings, I have 
waced out, : Kungs it. 14. and xi 4, 
36, and have found it fo written in all 
the printed copies I have feen 5 aid fo 
itis read by the Kaffera Feavs, in Ezek. 
xxvvii. 24. and in feveral printed edi- 
tions of Ezek. xxxiv. 23. This ieam- 
ed man is aware, that it is io wiit- 
ten once in Hofia, and twice in avzos, 
ks written two hundied yeais befure 
the captivity ; but then he obicrves, 
that in the two laft places in Bombery’s 
edition, it is a little circle (0) to mark 
it for an error or a fculty word, though 
none over the word m Hefea. But it 
fhould be known, that that circle in 
hundreds of places is not uted to point 
out any thing faulty in the copy; but 
is only a mark referring to the margin, 
and to what is obferved there: and be 
it, that it does point out an error or a 
fauley word, the fame circle is over the 


word in Canticles, and confequently 
fhews it to be faulty there, (according 
to this rule) and to becorre&ted and read 
without the Yed, which ooiervation de- 
ftroys the argument: froin it; and fo itis 
read in that place in the Ta/mud with- 
out.it, and in tue antient buck of Zo~ 
bar: and it feems, as if it was read 
withour the Youd in the copics iecn by 
the authors of the Maforab; fince in 
their note on + Kings iti, 14. befides, 
the five places wicre it is written full, 
er with the Yod, they fay itis fo writ- 
ten throughout the Coronicles, the twelve 
minor prophets, and Ezra, which in- 
ciudes NWrbemzah, but makes no men- 
tion of Solomox’s Song: which one 
would thank they would have done, had. 
it been fo written there in the copy or. 
copizs before the.n ; fo that upon the 
whole, the argument, if it has any force 
in it, turns out for, and not againift the 
antiquity of Se/smon’s Song.

a in my 
over“run this feafon with caterpillars, the 
fallowing method has been contrived for 
efiedtually deftroying them. Make a 
heod in the form ‘ofa bell, with wooden 
hoops, ‘over with brown paper, 
ecough to enclofe the uth, under 
which place a matto the full extent.of 
the-hood. Then on the windward fide 
of the bush (tick upright in the ground 
fiome lighted matches well ftored with 
brimfione, and then cover the buth and 
the matches with the hood. This done, 
almoft inttentaneoufly the caterpillars 
‘will drop-upon the mat, fo that you may 
my them at pleafure. Be fure in- 
atly, on removing the hood, to wath 
the tree well with water, otherwile the 
Deicattone will deftroy every leaf. 
~ Fe may, however, be of ule to remark, 
that the lois of tue leaves, thould that 
eircumftance happen, will be no hurt to 
he future vegetation of the trees for it 
will again put forth leaves, and acquire 


& pew and more beautiful verdare.-

them to make choice of that number,

‘The Origin of Arithmetical Figures. 

It is a received opinion not onl} 
among mof men of Icarning, but al 
among fcholars of the firft clais, that the 
numerical figures which are now ufed, 
were brought into Europe from Spain, 
that Spain derived them from the Moors, 
and the Moors from the Arabians 5 but 
Ido vot allow that the Arabians derived 
them from the Indians; I maintain, on 
the contrary, that the Indians received 
them from the Arabians, and the Arabi+ 
ans from the Greeks, as from them they 
derived all their learning, which in fome 
things they improved, but for the moft 
part have altered. The numerical fi- 
gures which they received from the 
Greeks are proofs of this alteration, 
which is fo great, that without particu- 
Jar attention one can fearce difcover in 
them the veltiges of their origin. But 
when we compare them carefully and 
without prejudice, we find in them ma= 
nifcit traces of the Greck figures. The 
Greek numerical figures were no other 
than the letters of thir alphabet. A. 
fall flroke was the mark of unity. 
The B being abridged of its two ex- 
tremities produced the 2. If you in« 
cline the ya little on its left fide, and 
sut off its foot, and make the left horn 
round towards the left fide, you will 
produec a 3, the A makes the 4, by 
raifing the rightleg perpendicularly, and 
lengthening it aiutle below the hate, 
and lengthening the hafe on the left tide. 
‘The g forms the 5, by turning the low- 
eft femi-circle towards the right, which 
before was turned towards the left fide. 
‘The number 5 forms the 6 by having 
its head takcn off, and its body roun.ted. 
Z, by taking away the bafe, makes the 
7. Ifwe make the top and bottom ef HI. 
round, we fhall forin an 8. The 0 is 
the g with very litle skeration, “The

cypher o was only a point, to which one 
of the figures was addcd to make it 
ftand for ten times us much. It was ne- 
ceffary to mark this point very Rrongciy, 
and in order to form it better, a circie 
was made, which was fiil,d up in the 
middle, but that cireumflance was <t- 
terwrrds neghected. ‘Theophanes, an 
hifiorian of Conftantinuple, who li.c:l 
in the ninth century, fzys exprefily, usat 
the Arabians retained the Greek figurcs, 
having no characters in their language to 
reprefent allthe numbers. The Greexs 
_obferved in their numbers the decuple 
progrnffion, which the Arabiins have 
retained. Certain chara€iers ave found 
in the Greek a!phatet, which ae not 
ufed in reading, but only in calculation, 
and for this reafon they cre ftyled Epi- 
femes, that is to Lay, xctes, marks, in or- 
der to diftinguilh them from kiters. 
The number 6 derives its formn from 
one of thefe epifemes, which was calied 
smionucy Fav. This epiien.e forms the 
detter F among the AZolians, and among 
the Latins. Vhis was called the D:- 
gamma, fo ftyled from its figure, which 
feems to have been cre 7 placed upon

I furmeily reproached Father Petaw

mis ef uncommon learning, and who 
had never offended him. He urged ia 
his juflincuuon, tat Scaliger had de- 
fcrted the catholic faith in which he was 
bern, and that the heretics triumphed in 
his apeftacy, and loaded him with ex- 
Lavcgant prades, abundantly beyond 
his ical merit. Je muft be owncd, that 
the fathers of the church did not treat 
the enemies of the chriftien religion with 
snore humanity. St Gregory of Na- 
zianzen, in his Steditextics, and St Cyril 
in his books againft Julian, have poured 
firth ail the bitternefs of their gall a. 
painft that emperor. Father Petau 
might have mentioned another reafon 
for his finious zeal, which touched nim 
more neariy, It is this: Scaliger has

concluded hie obiervations on 
Pialn cix. 18, in vour Mag. for Fe- 
bruary |-.4, p. 86, with what he calls a 
maxim, oc a truth univerfally reeesved ; 
wiz. Tiat the Scriptures were not in- 
texded to teach us Philofephy. His 
métsning, from what he fays jult before, 
is evidentry this, that the Scriptures do 
not give a tiuc and accurate philofophi- 
cal account of natural things, when 
they refer u: to them, but fpeak ad cap- 
tuts vulgi, according to the notions 
and unde:ftandings of the unlearned, 
wheticy night or wiong. This, indeed, 
is 21:0tien which has gained too much 
credit from the fan@ion of many great 
names, who have efpoufed it, and en- 
d:aveured to fet it on foot, that the word 
of God might give place to their chi- 
Mcrical notions in natural Philofophy. 
I wyleit was drawn into it by thefe il- 
luftrious names, and almoft as firmly 
embraced it as any article of my creed ; 
but am now fenhbdle of the error, and 
hoped fome other correfpondent wauld 
have corrected this gentieman’s impiiett 
maxim. But fince it ie not attempted 
in any fucceeding Magazine, pleaie te 
accept the fincere endeavours of a feeble 
pen, and a weak head; who has but 
{ut fuficient evitence to be convinced 
imielf. —I confefs it is no Ginall encou- 
ragement fur me to be affured, that Mr 
Row is not only a man of fenfe and let- 
ters, but of better principles, than to be 
tenacious of this epinion; which may, 
and has been improved to depreciate the 
wort of his Bible, and even to call its 
author in queftion, and defpife his di- 
vinity ; and it alfo gives me an oppor- 
tunity of declaring, that it is molt ra, 
tional to belicve, and I am verily pcr-

Mr Urran, York, May 21, 1762 
Ci me Jeave to mike a few ob- 
fervutions on a padage in Dr 
Smith's Nuw and General Syftem of 
Phific in Theory and Pra&tice, not 
with a defign to prejudice the book, 
but to offer my reafons again the too 
free ule of a medicine recommended by 
the duXor, which I think may prove 
d:ngeious in practice, unk fs cauticnfy 
introduced. The paffaze I mean is this, 
p. 254.‘ Now as the {mall-pox, p!sgue, 
‘ and all other putrid and makepnant 
© fevers, occafioned by an infectious air, 
€ coriuption of humours, &c. contain a 
certtin acrid myafma; which acts by 
“owiy coagulating the blood, and 
rine a fermentation, which haftens 
io putrsfadlicn, as putrefaction is no- 
thing but an advanced ftep of fermen- 
tation; what move fovcreign remedy 
therefore can be ufel than Mercury ? 
which, after preperly preparing the 
patient, may he given in fimall dofes ; 
and when it begins tu affect the mouth, 
it is bett r to carry off the morbid mat- 
ter by ttocl, than to allow it to dif: 
charge iticlf by the mouth, &c.* 
This fecms to mea very extraordi- 
Mary method of cure for putrid and ma- 
lignist fevers; but in order for the 
better lccrtaining the propristy or im- 
propitety of it, I fhall confider a little 
the medical virtucs of Mercury, and the 
nature of putrid diferfes. 

‘The pevuiar effeét of mercury when 
adivitted into an animal body, is to mif= 
ufe and defroy the texture of the blood 
and other fluids 5 which may be cffe&ted,

thefis of the blood and other fluids ; 
whatever will bring on fuch a flate, is 
an occafional caufe. They are all of 
them in fome degree attended with fymp- 
toms of putiid difuluiion; dangerous 
hremorthages, not only from an erofon 
of the fels by the acrimony of the 
fluids, but from the texture of th: blood 
being fo much broken down, as to ren- 
der the blood giobules final! enough to 
on out of the body per diapedctin. 
‘Where can we find, or event fupprfe any 
degree of cougulation, which the doctor 
fuppofes to be induced by the acrid mi- 
afma, which is the proximate caufe of 
thefe difeafes? and this feems to be the 
foundation of his recommending mer- 
cury, When putrid miata is icceived 
nto the body, it atts from that inftant

teftine motion amongit the particles of

‘can they atthe fame time produce a flow

rence is divided parts, half 
the plane of whi ed by the 
femi-circle ABZ. This circie is placed. 
parallel to the equinoftial plane, i, ¢ 
making an angle of 38° 30/ with the 
horizontal plane AH, and is the complie 
ment of 51” 307, the lutitudeof London, 

The equino€tiil plane AZ may be 
ecnfidered asthe {ction of the globe 
through the equator, and the ftyle CD 
is perpendiculw to this plane, aid ree 
prefents the axis: The hour-lines 
thercforefore cqually difle it. This dial 
is doub!e, having another circle under 

th, divited exagly as the upper, 
‘The fun fhines en the upper face alf 
the fummer, i. e. from the vernal to the 

nox, and on the under, 
, te, from the autumnal 
to the vernai equinox ; nd it fhines on 
the edge only at the precifé time of eae! 
equinox. 

From this dial, as a foundation, all 
the reft, here exhibited, are formed, and 
all others may be formed. 

In order to which, firtt divide the equi 
nogtial circle into 24 equal prrts, or thé 
Remiceivele, (which will antwer the fame 
purpofe) into 12 equal parts, and hav- 
ing raifed AS perpendicular to AH, 
through tdefe divifions draw lines pa- 
rallel to CD, cutting AH and AS, 
which els will, by their interfec- 
tions, determine the length of thofe tod 

es; and thus AH becomes the tranf- 
verie, or longer diameter of the ellipfe, 
for a horizontal dial; and AS the’ 
tranfverfe diameter of the ellipfe for a 
fowh-ere&t dial; the conjugate, of 
fhoiter, diameter of both being equal 
to AZ. By the two treniverte diame 
ters ATl and AS, and the two conjua 
gate diameters, the two ellipfisare form=

thefe parallels. So thar Mr Fergufon's 
manner.of forming the ellipfc, though 
jufl, is unnecefary in the prefint Cafe, 
and that operation faved. 

Lafly, draw lines through the center 
of cach ellipfe, to all thofe extremities, 
which will give the hour lines, and will 
complete the three dials, vie. AZ the 
equinoéial, AH the horizontal, and 
AS the fouth-ere&. ; 

In this {cheme is alfo a double line 
marked O, parallel to the ftyle, or axis, 
which is to be confidered as the profile 
ef another dial; whofe plane is parallel 
to a fe&tion of the globe through the 
poles, from eaft to weft, and may be 
called a polar dial. The axis is the 

Je of this, as well as of the three 

er dials, but the hour-lines of it are 
all parallel to the axis, and to each 
other: The manner of forming it 1s 
fhewn in fig. 2. where a femi-circle is 
defcribed, the radius of which is equal 
to Do, and its circumference divided 
nto 12 equal parts, and radii drawn 
from the center through thole divifions 
to the line 4—8 (which line is at sight 
angles with the axis) thefe radu will 
mark the feveral diftances of the hour- 
lines, which are drawn perpendicular to 
that line. _ 

This laft dial is on the fame princi- 
ples as the others, for the femi-circle, 
when railed, is parallel to the equinoc- 
tial plane, &c. _ 

All thefe four dials may be joined 

ther, as reprefented at fig. 3. and 
T have aftually made fuch a model, (of 
which this figure is an exa& copy, in 
perpective,) and placed itin a garden, 
where it anfwers the intention, hy thew- 
ing the fame hour on every one of thie 
dials, by the fame ityle, or gnomon, viz. 
She axis C D. 

To thefe may be added an eaft, a weit, 
4nd.a north dial, all which I have alfo 
mad¢, as reprefented at fig. 4, 5, and 6. 

In the dial the double line is pa- 
Paliel to the axis of the globe, and the 

at, b, cy d, is to be raifed per- 
ndieulariy on the VI o'clock line, 
ab, and, in that pofition, the top of it 
cd will caft the thadows on the feveral 
hour-lines, which are found by means 
of the vadrans ac VI. This, if it be 
fippofed raifed up on the equinoétial 
line IV. XI. would reprefent the equi- 
noftial plane, fo that producing the fe- 
veral radii of this quadrant to that line, 
they mark the points through which the 
paraliels are drawn for the hour lines 
af gis dial. N. B. The paralic

above are found by fetting one foot of 
the compaffes on VI, and turning the 
other from VII over to V, and from 
VIII to IV, &c. 

The weft dial is the eaft dial reverfed, 
with the hours alfo marked the contrary 
way; fo that the explanation of that 
will ferve for this, mutatis mutandis. 

The north dial is the fouth inverted, 
or turned upfide down, and the figures

Mr URBaN, 


N cafually cafting m over Sir 
1’ Kenelme Digby's dileourte on vege- 
tation, I met with the following pretty 
€xperiment, which I would recommend 
to the notice of your ingenious corre(- 
pondents, and fhould be much pleafed 
with an aceount of the fuccefs upon @ 
new trial. 

I calcined, fays he, a good quantity 
of nettles, roots, ftalks, leaves, Jowere, 
in a word, the whole plant. With fair 
water I made a lye of thefe athes; 
which I filtred from the infipid earth, 
This lye was expofed by me at the pro- 

r feafon to have the froft congeal it. 

performed the whole work in this 
‘very houfe where | have now the houour 
to difcourfe to you*. I calcined them 
in the labaratory that I ha. erc&ted -un- 
der the lodgings of the divinity rcader. 
And I expofed the lye to congeal in the 
window of my library. Hans Hun- 
neades, the Hungarian, was my opera- 
tor. And it is moft true, that when 
the water was congealed into ice, there 
appeared to be abundance of nettles 
frozen in the ice. They had not the 
coleur of nettles, no greennefs accom. 
paniedthem. They were white. But 
otherwife, it is impeffible for any pain- 
ter to delineatea throng of nettles more 
exaétly, than they were defigned in the 
water. As foon as the water was melt- 
ed, all thefe ideal ghapes vanithed; but 
as foon as it was congealed again, they 
prefently appeared afrefh. And this 
{port I had feveral times with them, and 
brought Dr Mayorne to fee it, who I 
remember was as much delighted with 
it as myfelf. 

To account for this _ phenomenon, 
Sir Kenelme fuppofes that a main part 
of the effential fubftance of a plant is 
contained in its fixed falts; and thas 
if all the effential parts could be pre- 
ferved in fevesiog and purifying them,

1. Raifing a perpetyal revenue with- 
out the confent of the people, or of their 
Tepre(entative, in violation of the (acred 
and vitally confitatignal right of repre-

any officer or fervant in the cutome may 
break open a man’s houit, clofet, chit,

3. Eftabiithing the artitrary ant op- 
preffive powers of excife in the cuitins 
by the appointment of ju lew, ducrng 
pleafure, to try all revenue cauits witie 
out jury. 

4- Compelling his majetty’s fubjeste 
to trial, in all revenue matters gut of 
their refpettive colonies. 

A fecretary of Gate feading a ree 
quilition to the sffembly at Botton, with 
threats tending to force their detesmina~ 
tions which by the conititution ought to

6. Threatening and punifhing the 
American affembiics for attempting to 
petition the king, though the act of fet= 
tlement expreflly fecures this right un- 
limited to the fu a

with other arbitrary. impolitions, being 
another violation of an exprefs articie

8. Mifapplication of the permanent 
revenue for fupport of sovernment, 
grantedtby feveral affembliesim America, 
and of the revenue granted by act of 
pait.ament. 

9. Impowering the crown to {vise and « 
fend over to Britzin, the American fub- 
je, without any legal indictments or 

il’ found by jury. 

19. Suipending the Icgiflative power 
of the aflembly of: New York, fo ae to 
deftroy that freedom of debate and de- 
termination which is the neceffiry, an-. 
alienable, and conftitutional right of tuch

You had already taken ‘your degime ine 
with credit in tholt fchoals in which tie 


fer are they from being defcended of kingg, 
that few of chem can'boaft the blood of gen 
tlemea. Happy inthe impenetrable obfcu- 
rity of their forefathers, they have no vitéeg 
ta anfwer for but their own. Your hero, 
your half patron, yoor coantryman, the po- 
litical, the manly, the honourable Afatagrudie} 
terminates on one fide, his line of enceftors 
at no great diftance, at a loom ux coal-hole, 
On the other, his progenitors are dimly feam 
through the ob.cure medium of an age and. 
a half of Hibernian ignarance and bagbarity. 
His deceit, his duplicity, and rhat appear- 
ance of honeft bluntnefs which is the worft 
{pecies of flactery, the hand unfeeling, the 
timerous heart, the confufed head, the un- 
decifive judgement, sre of I-——h extrac- 
tion ; his meannefs, rapacity, and venality 
defcended to him from the E——h Mechanic. 
R——wm is the true reprefentative of his fa- 
mily. Without any adeétion of the mind, 
except vanity, he has not heen guilty of great 
crimes, and exalted virtues are beyond the 
reach of his debility and weakoefs. The 
miferable farces he daily exhibited when at 
the head of the T—y were truly laughable ; 
A premier, weak, and incapable, receiving 
his inftruGions concerning the management 
of the affairs of England from an impudent, 
verbofe, and ignorant Irifh S—<-y, is a 
fubject worthy of the fatyrical pencil of a 
Hogarth, Void as you are of every fenfe 
of fhame, can you, without a blufh, recom- 
mend to the people of England, as minifters, 
men, whofe weaknefas, or villainy, they have 
already experienced jn office ? Do you hope 
by the ungentleman means of low defa- 
mation and falfehood to blacken the D~— 
ef G——n to fuch a degree, that the Ethio- 
pic charafter of Malagrida, upon a compa- 
rifon, may appear fair? Bafe and foolith ! 
The abilities, the integrity, the dignity of 
mind as wellas the nobility of family which 
diftinguith the D— of G--—n have render- 
ed him as {uperior to your abufe, as your 
eulogies are incapable to raife into confe- 
quence the detefiable Matagrida®.

Shelburne in this note, the following reply

that the adminiffraticn were cf opinign,

It were to bé wifhed that adminiftra-

would make known their ¢cmplcints in

think themfelves aggrieved, will juftify 
a perfeverance in a matter confeffed to

maintained and fupported, by corre&ing 
the errors it may have committed, than

We are at a lofs to know what beha- 
viour the minifter refers to, or who 
thofe are with whofe behaviour he is

no people, who have any regard to Ji- 
berty, could in their circumftanccs thew 
a more refpe&tful behaviour. It is true 
they cannot acquiefce mm the parlias

fidciing themfelves as Britifh fubjects, 
who csnnot of right be taxed but by

‘The diffolution of affemblies that fol- 
Yowed’ this ‘letter, and the mealures 
purfued to enforce the aéts in America, 
Awakehed ‘the fears, and exa(perated 
the minds of the people to a very 
great degree, 

They therefore determined not only 
to defeat the intent of the a&s, by re- 
Training from the ufe of thofe articles 
on which duties were laid, but to pat 
A ftop to the importation of goods from 
Great Britain. Heretofore they had 
almoft entirely confined themfelves to

from their affeétion to Great Britain, 
fhewed a fondnefs to imitate her fathi-

with fo high, a hand, they thought it

confequence, we thould have been giad 
if the miniffer bad declared what ** the 
proper difpeGtion” is, which he expeds 
from the colonies, : 

The Americans confider themfelres 
as. Britith fubjeéts, entitled to all the 
rights and privileges of freemen. They 
think there can be no liberty: without 
a fecurity of property ; and that there 
¢an be no property, if any can, with- 
out their confent, deprive them of the 
hard-earned fruits of sbeir labours 

They know that they liave no choige 
in the elegtion of the members of par- 
liament ; and from their fituation, ne 

& of pat 
made for rai= 
fing a revenue in America, is, in their 
opinion, depriving them of their pro- 
perty without their confent, and confe- - 
quently are invafions of their liberty. 

Jf then the ate cannot be repealed 
while the minifry objoéts; and if to 
remove the objections the Americams 
mutt pive up their fentiments, we mutt 
candidly confefs we have little hopes df 
a repeal ever taking place; much lefs 
is it to be expeted, that the merchants 
will prefume to petition parliament on 
the principle of inexpediency only, 
when every affembly on the continent 
are applying for a repeal on the princi- 
ple of right. The merchants are too 
fenfible how jealous the Americans are 
of their liberty, ever to hazard fach a ftep, 
‘We apprehend that an advantage may 
have been taken from a fuppoted dif 
union of the colonifts in opinion, “¢ that 
the late revenue a&s were unconftitu- 
tional ;" becaufe fome refufed to adopt 
a meafure, which at one time they be- 
lieved to be premature. They were 
fenfible that mutual intereft is the bett 
cement of nations ; that by trade and 
commerce the union between Gret 
Britain and the colonies is beft preferv- 
ed, They kriew that multitudes in 
Great Britain would be fufferers by a 
fulpenfion of trade with her; they 
were willing therefore to try what 
could be done by a inemorial to their 
friends in England, who had fo gen 
ronly, and to fo good purpety ini 
pofed befere, and contributed fo niuch 
to the repeal of the ttamp a. But no 
fooner were they apprifed that no hope 
remained of a repeal in this [eflion, 
than they unanimoufly entered into the 
very agreement, which Yome monthe 
before, when propo(edto them, Quey Wa 
declined. This agreement hang torm- 
ed on mature deliberation, we we 
opinion, the people of thie province 2S

firmly adhere to it. We are’ glad ‘to 
hear that the idea of raifing taxes in 
Aniettza begins among all ranks with 
you, of every party, to lofe ground. 
Happy had it been fur koth countries if

fome food. I examined this man with 
all the attention I poffibly could. I 
found his cullet very large, his teeth 
excecding strong, his faliva very corro- 
five, and his ftomach lower than odi- 
nary, which I imputed to ithe vaft nmm- 
ber of flints he had fwailowed, being 
about five and twenty one day with 
another. Upon interrogating his keep- 
er, he told me the following particu- 
Jars, This Hon--eater, fays he, was 
found three ycars ago in a northern in- 
habited ifland, by fome of the crew of 
a Dutch thip, on Good-Friday. Since 
I have had him, I make him eat raw 
ficth with his ttunes; I could n-ver get 
him to fwallow bread. He wi'l drink 
water, wine and brendy; which laft 
liquor gives him infinite pleatiue. He 
flecps at leaft twelve hous in a day, 
fitting on the ground with one knee 
ovcr the other, and his chin refting on 
his right knee. He finokes aimoit all 
the time he js afleep, or is not eating. 
The flints he has {wallowed he voids 
fomewhat corroded and diminifhed in 
weight, the reft of his excrements re- 
fembles mortar. The keeper alfo tells 
me, that fome phyficians at Paris got 
him blooded ; that the blood had little 
or no ferum, and in two hours time be- 
came as fragi'e as coral. If this fa&t 
be true, it is manifef that the molt di-

Eure of the Ccut, &, John Cavechiil, 
a: ae 


N this treatife the, author has attemprt- 
ed anew theory of the dileafe. . 

He fay» that it 1s sof occafioped by 
Morbid matter circulating in the funds ; 
and that its being heredit wy is a demen- 
ftratiun of this, becau& hereditary dif- 
ézics can proceed only from a morbid 
texture or form ot the fulids. 

His theory in fusance ts this.

Yoree of the heart, will now refift no

partly torn open, lo that the lacerated 

erves will produce pain. ‘Mhus, fays

endeavouring. ‘to -efcxpe; ‘the. coheffons 
ape Jocfemed and!. weakcmed, and ‘feb 
able toa ¢ndure diftenfkm: “. 

- Upon this theory, the gout fhould 
nore rarely attack women than men, 
becaufe they feldom trike fo much exer- 
cite as fuifices to form the cohefions im 
the arteries which lay the foundation of 
arthritic pain, and in this particular, ¢x- 
perience confirms the theory. 

The author fuppofes an hereditary 
gout aifo to proceed from a relaxation 
of the fonds, becahfe if the nerves ae 
Originally fott, the colicring coats of tre 
comprefled arteries will be fo far foften- 
ed at thirty, as to bring on the gour 
fuppofing a change of lite from exercite 
to reft, when in another conftitution 
they would not be fo far fofiened til! 


forty. 

"The author proceeds to account for 
the formation of chalk-ftones upon the 
fame principles ; and he alfo accounts 
for the gouty pain being renioved from 
one part to another by external applica- 
lions, without fuppoling a repulfion of 
morbid matter, and he fays, that the pain 
in early paroxyfms might be fafely 
treated with little caution; for that 
when the veffels in the feet are the only 
vellels in a ftate of feparation, they might 
be fo ftrengthened by aftringents and 
cold applications, as to refift the attion 
of the heart many years longer; but 
that the worft confequences may follow 
this treatment in aged conflitutions, 
when the noble organs have manifefted 
a difpofition to difeafe. 

The author, in fupport of his theory, 
fuppofes, that as the lungs, liver, fpleen, 
ftomach, and inteftincs, are fometimes 
fubjc& to the gout as well as the extre- 
mities, they aiio have cohering arteries 
which fuffer the fame confequences from 
indolency. 

The auther having thus confidered 
the cuufe of the guut, proceeds to the 
cure, and Jays down this general axiomy 
tnat no difeate has been fo much feft to — 
nature, though none :equires ‘more af- 
tance from at. 

He advifes firft, the application of 


_ ‘oiled filk to the skin of the put affe&ted : 


ifthe laceration of the arteries is near 
the thin, this will encreafe the pain, but 
fhorten the fit, becaule the ftuids being

inflammatian,. had the 
d up in fine wool as high as the 
ancle, and the wool covered with oiled 
filk, which was clofely confined over it. 
His leg was po fooner at ret than the 
pain vanjthed, it returned on removing 
‘the application, and again ceafed when 
‘it was renewed. 

The oiled filk is alfo certain pre- 
fervatiye againft the formation of chalk- 
tones, in the part to which it is applied, 
and if they are formed, no applicaticn 
is {0 efficacious to diffolve them. 

Ojled filk has alfo been ufed in relax- 
ing the velfels of the feet to bring on a 
fit of the gout, when it has been delay- 
ed by the refiftance which the cohefons 
made to feperate, or the imbecility of 
the vital organs from general relaxation. 

In the next place he recommends cau- 
terizing the tkin of the part affe&ted, by 
applying the moxa or down of mugwort 
in the form of a cone with its baie on 
the part, and fetting it on fire. - 

Sir William Temple has given a par- 
ticular account of this operation, and 
ita fuccefs in his mifcellanies. It re- 
moves the fit by deftroying the feperat- 
ing artery. 

"Thirdly, Opiates are preferable to 
every other medecine in a very acute 
early paroxifin of the gout, where the 
violence of the fymptoms, when allow- 
ed to terminate of their own accord of- 
ten renders the joints incapable of per- 
forming their natural motions. Intl 
cafes, no bad fymptoms can ever follow 
the ufe of opiates, they being injurious 
‘only when given to procure reft, and 
not alleviate pain, 

Fourthly, Sudorifics are good in the 
gout, for it is only from the encreafed 
Cutaneous perfpiration in fummer, that 
aged athritic perfons enjoy refpites in 
that feafon which they never experience 
in a cold or moitt winter. 

The dict thould be fpare in this Rate 
of the difeafe, and: the drinks flrongly

Should feldom be adminiftered, however 
the lower intefines may be impelled by

Operation cannot reach the feperating 
arteries, and ought’ afterwards to bg

never to be joined to it unlefs the other 
cennot abate the pain. 

None of thefe methods, however, are 
able to check the prevailing relax: 
which brings en a paroxifin of the dil 
cate, the author thercfore recommends 
the fellowing in preference tg every 
other method. 

Wh 














fiom the feperating artery which t 
were urging to dettruétion, and the ten= 
fion of the nerves is taken off; the pag. 
abates, and the part recovers its powsy's, 
Tf the pain returns upon difcontinying 
the motion, the motion fhould be ré= 
newed, and the part will at lat be fo 
ftrengtkened, as to be in no danger of 
arelep(e. Flannels are here never to 
be ufed. 

Walking is the moft rational way of 
treating the gout when the pain is in the 
lower extremitics. When the pain ig 
in the hands, elbows, or fhoulders, other: 
exercife muft be uled, and if the paig 
lies in a part that partakes of little mor 
tion, fri@tions may be fubltituted fog 
exercife. 

‘The doftor relates many inftances of 
the fuccefs of this method, of which he 
fays there are many living witneffcs. 

Riding, if the fit be in the lower cxe 
tremitics is of little benefit, or rathey 
pernicious, for riding ftrengthens only 
one part of the ody, by which means 
the other is expofed to greater injury. 

The beft way to prevent a return off 
the fit isto continue the exercife shag 
removed it 

Exercife fhould be conftant and equal, 
Some ferfons take violent exercife 
two or three days in a month, and jme- 
gine this will prevent the effects of totaf 
inadivity during the reft of it; but this 
isa fatal miftake; with refpe& to the 
gout, fuch perfons are more in danger 
than if they took no exercife at al}. 

It is fetal to remeniber, that peop]e 
who indulge their appetites in eating 
and drinking, cannot poffibly take exe 
ercife enough. . 

Upon the whole, the facility in curing, 
the gout will dependon the tas of

ss Jt was not, fays Mr Sheridan to 
faperior knowledge or {kill in f¢iences, 
ox pre-eminence if virtue, that the 
Greeks and Romans owed the diftin- 
guifhed rank they ever held above ether 
mortals, it was to their languace alone, 
without whtich the higheft degiece of 
wifdom and virtue are as evanefcent as 
their poffeffors.* Surely this is Aran 
reafoning. The language of the Greeks 
aid Romans perpetuated the knowledge 
of their wifdom and virtue, therefore 
their country was benefited not by their 
wifdom and virtue, but their lan- 
e; they owe the ran hold 
oor in the eftimation of thet who 
know their wifdom and virtue only from 
the works in which they are recorded to 
their Janguage, but what portion have 
of ** this fancied life in other’s 
breath?” their wifdom and virtue, as 
far as they were of value to them, were 
fo independant of the durability of the 
language in which they were to be re- 
fated to other generations. We thall 
not therefore attend Mr Sheridan in his 
enquiry how our language may be ren- 
‘dered as anent as Latin and Greek. 
He fays, that one confiderable advan- 
tere of making a good tafte, with ref- 
pect to language, in general, would be, 
that the multitude of pernicious books 
which are now written in 2 bad ftile 
would not be read. But the fame cause 
that would prevent the reading of books 
writen in a bad ftile, would prevent a 
bad file from being written, except fone 
contrivance could be thought of for 
excluding all from Mr Sheridan’s Bri- 
tifh Education, who might be tempted 
to write pernicious books. The power 
of eloquence to do good and evil is 
equal, if education makes men virtu- 
ous, the good it might do is in a great 
‘precluded ; 1f it leaves them vi- 
cious, the evil it might do will be a 
clear fuperaddition of mifchief to the 


Mr Sheridan has endeavoured to thew 
that the liberal arts never flourifhed 
where oratory was negliéted, and that 
itis much more probable that oratory 
raifed and fupported the Iberal arts, than 
that the liberal arts raifed and fupported 
oratory. He would fain perfuade us, 
that without oratory there could be no 

painter or fatuary, and that. no- 

tig but oratory is wanting to give us 
virtue, religion, wifdom, elegance, pow- 
er, wealth, excellence in every. work of 
rt, and univerfal and permanent ce- 
Jebrity. He had not laid down a fingie 
Principle with refpet to edecation,

which he'fays fhould principally incul- 
cate virtue and religion, but that our 
fchools fhould teach oratory. 
Oratory, as well with & to com- 
fition as utterance, is certainly a de- 
firable thing, and is thamefully neglected 
among us; but it is an unaccountable 
opinion that the confequence of expref- 
fing fuch ideas as are conceived with 
propricty, elegance, and force, will be 
the conception of right ideas ; or that a 
power of diffufing hy eloquence fueh

-33- The Cafe of the Elefion for the 
Cenets of Middlefex, confdered on the 
Principles of the Conflitution, and the 
Authority of Law. 

That the reader may better judge of 
the arguments in this pamphlet, it is ne- 
ceflary briefly to ftate the following 
fads. 

Mr Wilkes was, in the laft parlia- 
ment expelled the Houfe of Commons. 

-Hle was alfo by the verdict of his 
country convicted of crimes for which 
infamous punifhments have frequently 
been infli€ted ; he ther-fore abfconded, 
fo that fentence could nat be pafied up- 
on him, and theseupon was outlawed. 

He neverthelefs appeared on the eve 
of the general election, and, though an 
outlaw, was elected member for Mid- 
diefex. 

His outlawry was reverfed, fentence 
was paff.d upon him, and he was com- 
mitted in execution to the King’s Bench. 

In this fituation he petitioned the 
Houfe, and his petition being heard and 
determined, he was charged with a new 
offence, that of writing a preface to a 
letter which had been printed in the pub- 
lick papers, which he acknowledged ; 
the Houfe voted this preface to be an 
infolent, fcandalous, and feditious libel, 
and afterwards came to the following 
refolution. 

“ Refolved, 

‘ That John Wilkes, Efq; a mem- 
© ber of this Houfe, who hath, at the

that having been expelled the Houfe 
he was aad 1s incapable of being eled

Jiament.* 

+ Itappearing to the Houfe that there 
was no other candidate, the eleiion was 
further refoived to be void, and another 
new writ was iffued to elect a member

“$y and whole eleGtion had been

‘Mr Wilkes was again rcturned, and +

another writ was iffued. 

Mr Wilkes was again returned. 

‘The Houfe again refolved his election 
to be void, but it appearing that there 
were other candidates, the Houfe order- 
ed the poll to be brougit before them, 
and it appearing that of the candidates 
capable of being cleéted, Mr Lunusil 
had the majority, they refolved that Mr 
Luttrell ought to have been returned, 
and ordered the return to be amended, 
by inferting bis name in the room of 
that of Mr Wilkes; at the fame time 
they allowed the ufual liberty to petition, 

“A’petition was accordingly preferred 
by fifteen freeholders, and upon bearing 
the merits, the Houfe refolved that Mr 
Luttrell was duly elested. 

The author undertakes to thew that 
the Houfe is legally invelted with the 
power they have exercifed on this occa- 
tio!

He obferves, that the three orders of 
the fate are invefted with feperate, 29 
well 2s conjund powers, ‘The power of 
Jegilation is joint ; but befides, the le- 
Biflative power, each Houfe has a pow- 
er of judicature, which is feparate. 

The only rule by which this power 
of judicature is direéted, is the law of 
parliament, which is part of the law 
of the land. 

The law of parliament confifte rf,

To prove this pofition, he argues, 
that ‘oe admit the right of expuifen, 
and to infift that the member expelled 
may be re-eleéted for that parliament, 
is grofly abfuid, becaufe it would ex- 
poe the judicature of the houfe of com- 
mone to the mof flagrant infult and 
vontempt; if the member cxpelied to-day 
fhould be again forced in to-morrow, 
the determination of the houfe would 
be totaliy nugatory. The expnifion ia 
the sé of the whole pzople of Great 
Britain, affembled by their reprefenta- 
tives; and itis abfurd to fuppofe, that 
@ part of the people, the electors of a 
particular county have a right to fay, 
«© We will not be bound by the jud, 
ment of ‘the majority.” If the cao 
of expulfion fhould not, in the opinion 
of the eleétors, be fufficient to warrant 
fuch a punifhment, they are_neverthe~ 
lefs bound by the determination of the 
majority, in the reprefentatire body, to 
whom they have refigned their right of 
private judgment itr this inftance.

ments, to prove, that incapacity of elec= 
tion, is the neceffary effe& of expulfion,

The queftion is, Whether by this 
vote he was expelled or not? Whether 
another vote would have been better, is 
adifferent queftion. The author fays, 
that his incapacity was of a tem 
nature, and that when he was re-eleét- 
ed, he did not hold the office: but this 
feems: to make again him, for it 
Bits the_imeapacityof the party upon

Alexander Newel, a clergyman, hav-

mons refolved, that having a voice in 

convocation, he was not eligible,

with refpe& to the incapacity of a per-

mutually defeat each other is eventually 
to fappofe no yeh to fubfift ; to fap- 
pofe that the Houfe of Commons has 
aright to tury a member out, and the 
eleétors a right to turn him in, is even- 
tually to deftroy the right of both; the 
right of turning a man out, who is as

thorities, as the pamphlet of which an 
account has juft been given. Theau- 
thorities and precedents are not all the 
fame, fo that they add new weight to 
this tide of the queftion, To prove that 
perfons in execution are not eligible, 
the cafe of Sir Thomas Monck is cited, 
who being in execution before and at

canfe of his expuifion did not fablit ar 
the time of his re-election, but itis al- 
fo true that the houfe admitted him to 
fit without performing any ac to take 
Off his difqualification by expulfion, 
and it follows that expulGon per, é. does 
not incapacitate, This pamphlet ap- 
pears to have been written with great 
negligence or great hatte. In page 25, 
the author fays, Mr Woolafton's cale 
I repeat is the only one that'ba: been or 
can be produced of a member under 
fach circumftrnces being re-elected ig 
tothe fame parliament. Yet within 
fix lines he fays, fince Iwrote the abouts, 
Thave heard of two other cafes, thofe 
of Mr Holborne and Sir William Pen- 
nyman. He wrote the above one mi- 
nute, and the next heard it was not 
true; yet, uhdigeited and crude, he 
fends all. to the Brel, and infinuates, 

jolman and Sir Wm 
Pennyman, which are found in the 
Journals in 1643 and 1645,do not ftand 
for the fame perfons as were expelled 
from the fame parliament in 1642, oF 
that they were re-capacitated by a fub- 
fequent vote, without offering any 
ofeither, Of thefe perfons the author 
of the preceding pamphlet takes no 
notice, but certainly bis obfervat ion 
that Mr Walpole was the only perfon 
who after expulfion was re-elected into 
the fame parliament, now ftands in 
need of fupport. 

Upon Mr Walpole's cafe, which thie 
author mentions, without ‘taking any 
notice of his having before overlooked 
it, he makes nearly the fame remarks 
that were made by the author of the 
preceding pamphlet : the houfe came 
toa refolution that Mr Walpole hay- 
ing been expelled, was and is ineapable 
of elegtion into the fame parliament, 
thus formally and judicially declarin,

Had o’er the fow’ry meadows ftray’d; 
Oppreft with heat, and tir’d with play 
He fought the covert of 2 fhade. 


"Twas noon; and not the flighteft breeze, 
Did either ftream or flowret move, 

No zephyr whifperd through the trees, 
Or ‘icacter’d fragrance round thé grove. 


He mov'd along with languid pace, 
While o’er his thoulder carelefs hung, 
His powerful ertows in their cafe, 
And by their tide his bow unftrung. 


The plains by Flora newly dreft, 
In robes of lively green, he paft ; 
Afid on the meads in flowry veft, , 
One chearful glance he fcarcely caft. 


At lengeb with joy the waaderer fpy’d 
A bower, within whofe verdant thade, 
A fount with brim of violets dy‘d, 
Its ftreams in fofteft murmurs play’d. 


Fair peace fo long from courts retir’d, 
Wh ftate and folly never feen, 

To mdf unknown, by all defird, 
Prefided o'er this tranquil feene,

Lucinda fought this very bow’r, 
For fhetcer ’gainit use fcorching heat,

And watchful of her as fhe doz‘d, .

Perhaps th’ approach of ball, or play, 
Succefs at cards, or modifh air, 
Thrown in her robe, be’t what it may, 
A gentle finile i:s fweets difplay’d, 
And on her chec.cs of lilly hue, 
A pleafing licele {pace had made,

Invades the bloom of fruit or flow’r,

The blemith muikes their bequty mare, 
And but improves them by iry ftain. 
Entranc’d the God of foft alarms,

With cager louk, and folded arms, «ow

“Till feeling what himfelz infpires,

propolal being carsicd imto execution, 
t there were two obitacles that feemed 
to prechide him trom ail hopee of be« 
coniing one of thé managers of Covent 
Garden Theatre ; the fir:t was, that he 
unluckily happened at that time to bé 
wnder articles with the patentees of Duu- 
ry~Lane for the term of three years, and 
the fecond, that he knew not where to 
raife the fum of 15,0001, which was se- 
‘red for his fourth of the property. 
“he laft and moft material of thele ob- 
ftructions to his advancement, however, 
was Yoon-after obviated by his meeting 
with a friend who prevailed upon a cer 
taini nobleman, to whom we owe the 
conqueft of the Havannah, to lend him 
the fum of 14,000}. The ret of the 
money was foon raifed, and Powell re. 
folvirig to get over atl impediments to 
his good fortune, boldly broke his arti- 
cles with Meff. Garrick and Lacy, tho’ 
it is faid by fome perfons with peat ap- 
pearance of probability, that he was fr 
cured from the dilagreeable confequen- 
ces that might attend the'taking cf this —

Ou the 14th of *-September, in the 
year 12767, the Theatre Reyal in Covent 
Garden wie opened uncer the diseftion 
of tie four new maviagtrs, with the pia 
of the Reheai fal, to which Powell {poke 
a pfologue, adapted tothe theatrical ree

during that féalon, perfermed mok of 
the capital charudters in tragedy particus

furthe emelument of all the dymb Lords 
|dvor-keepess belonging to the heulas

benevolent heart of Powell; he was as

be had the direétion of a numerous bo- 
dy-of. theatrical retainers, as he was 
when an under clerk in Sir Robert Lad- 
broke’s compting houle, and bore -his

ANECDOTES of the Family of Evtts. 
ABOUT the year 1730 livid in Pic- 

cadilly a Mr Ellis, juftice of the 
peace, the Kiftory of whofe family (as 
related by himfelf to the weiter of this) 
is ¥ety remarkable. Being a firm friend 
to the Revolution, he himbelt had been 
under fecretary of ftate to king Willi- 
am. Hoe eldeft brother, Sir William 
Ellis, who had the family eftate, fol- 
lowing the fortunes «f king James, was, 
at length, made treafurer to his fon, the 
late pretender, and died at Rome (a pro- 
teft int, however) about the time above- 


mientioned. Thefe two brothers kept. 


up no connestion. ‘The third, a protel- 
tant alfo, was advanced by king Wil- 
liam to a bifhoprick in Ireland. And 
the fourth and youngeft, Philip, having 
abfconded, when a boy, from Weftmin- 
fler {chool, was not heard of by his 
friends for fome years, when the brother, 
Grf named, being at a coffee-houle, 
accidentally overheard an officer, who 
had juf@ been in Flanders, mention in 
eonverfation the t civilities he had 
geceived at the Englith college at St 
Omer’s, particularly from a mot.

very different, yet the ‘punifhment of the 


.when made, relyin 


the name of Folly Phil. This bei 
w, name by whch he had been known 
at fchool, excited Mr Ellis's curiofiry to 
enquire farther; and in fhort, the of- 
ficer being a ftranger to hus fatnily; 
mame, on the brother's writirg’ to.the 


‘Superior, and if his furmifes were trilé,- 


inviting Folly Pbil. to Engiend, tre! 


ftray theep was found, and teadi'y catt’é: 


over. Here, under Mr E.lis’s protec+ 
tion, be lived fome time in trae 
till foon after the Revolurion, when (the 
penal laws againg papilts bing feritly 
enforced) notwithRanding his brotter'¢ 
caution againft making converts, or, _ 
on them, having’ 
perverted his maid-fervant, in a few 
weeks this pretended convert informed 
againthim. Dreading the confequence,. 
though the under-fecretary, had he 
known it, could, and wonld have pro- 
cured his pardon, he immediately fied 
from England, returned to his college, 
and in a few years, was advanced by 
the Pope to a bithoprick in Italy. Thus, 
to recapitulate theis fostunes, the elde& 
of thefe brothers was treafurer to the 
pretender; the ‘fecond, under-fecretar 
to king Walliam; the third, a protef- 
tant bifhop in Ireland; the fourth, a 
popifh bithop in Italy. Unlefs the Irihh 

ithop left children, the family, it is pre- 
fumed, is now extin&. Any one who - 
knows more particulars, is sequcted to 
communicate them.

REMARKS spor the above PETITION. 
*T HERE was Witely delivered to his 
majefty at St James's an unfigned pa- 
without any date; the'title, « The 
jumble petition of the Livery of Lon- 
don’ in Common Hall affentbled.” 
Whether it really is a petition From the 
Livery refts entirely upon the authority 
1of the five gentlenien who prefented it, 
‘The informality of the anunymous 
ferolt is at once a proof that it wis not 
‘the a& of a body corporate, and that it 
contained matter too feditious and dam 
igevoud.to be avowed exen by the mlott 
daving opponents of order and good go- 
Sernment. ca “ 
Without taking advavitage-of the at. 
puments againtt the authenticity of ‘the 
feditious faygot, b fhall examine it arttl 
che bysarticle, and leave the world-'to 
judge whether thofe men’ who: sured 
the-faition had more the caufe of liber- 
ty.at-heart chan‘a'ticfire of forcing thenr- 
filves into office by saifing popular dift

nifterial arts, a humane and generous na-

fubje&s, as inconfiderately to acquiefce 
in regulations, which may, hereafter, by 
affoiding dangcrous precedents, prove 
deftrudtive to infeif. 

_ Aftanding army is ftationed among 
us, in time of profound peace, under no 
Subordination to the civil power, and 
living almoft upon free quarter, as in an 
enemy's country; while fome of our 
fea-port towns are invefted, and their 
harbours blocked up by thips of war. 

In criminal accufations (fliould the 
mea(ures Jatcly secommmended be put in 
execution) we are to be deprived of the 
right cf Eng-:ifhmen, a wial by a jury 
of our neighboms: A Britith fubje& 
3s to be tranfj-orted, however innocent 
he may happen to be, from his own 
country, to the oti:er tide of the globe ; 
dragged trom the advice and good offi- 
ces of all his friends and acquaintance, 
deprived almoft of a peffibility of evi- 
dence in bis favour, and cannot even be 
acquitted until he has fuffired greater 
punifhment than deah, 

Statutes of treafon are to be extended, 
by conftru&tion, contrary to the known 
maxims of Jaw and juttice ; which will 
render every man's life as infecuie, as 
his property already is; for, by the 
fame kind of logic, we may foon ex- 
pre to fee that treated as tieafon in an 
American, which 1s not even a mifde- 
meanor in an inhabitant of Great Bri. 
tain. 

Wheeis and racks are {till wanting to 
complete this new and formidable fyftem 
of government, and may poffibly bring 
up the rear, 

In fhort, the infamous arts and mifre- 
preicntations of a {cw mcn in office, ac- 
tuated by the tafcit motives of piivate 
intereft and ambition, have had ater 
weight than the humble and dutiful pe- 
titions and :emonttrances of all the co- 
Tonies, and the cries of four millions of 
loyal subjects. 

Well may the minuikry apprehend a 
civil war in America, confcious of the 

vovocaticn they have given; which, 
ana lefs Joyal country, would infallibly 
have produced one. But, Jet us, my 
countrymen, convince the world, that

STR, Virginia, June 8, +769. 

THINGS in this country are ap- 

proaching fatttoacnfis. The con- 

tet feems unavoidable, and we mutt now 

exert all the fpirit we are poffett of in 

fupport of liberty, ov fubmuit to be flaves 
for ever. 

With what horror muft the mind of 
that man be oppreffud, who, in the warr- 
tonnefs of his malevolent heart could 
coutrive to wound the /pirits of this once 
flourithing people; who could, with 
mere than a Nero’s cruelty, by one un- 
relenting ftroke, deftroy the peace, com- 
fort, and pro.perity of millions ; who, 
armed with the fhackles of defpotifm, 
could in an evil hour devife the means to 
{pread the chains of flavery thro’ a land 
glorying in the invaluable bieflings of 
civilandreligiousliberty, What demon 
cou'd poffets a reafonable being to under- 
take at once to overturn the conttitutional 
frame of nine loyal, peaceable, and flou- 
rifhing provinces, ail concurring in one 
general and uniform defign of promot- 
ing and furthering the true intereft of 
Great Britain ? Or was it that moft de- 
teftable paffion envy that could not bear 
to fe an induftrious people happy in 
the peffeffion of the fruits of their own 
Jaborious toil, without interrupting the 
free courfe of their enjoyment by un- 
precedented taxes, and grievous impo- 
fitions? Was money wanted for the 
fovereign’s ufe? ‘Fhe provinces were 
ready to give to the uttermoft farthing. 
Was affiitance neceffary againtt the com- 
mon enemy? Eveiy man was ferward 
to take up arms on the firft alarm. Was 
trade the pretence ? The inhabitants of 
America, like f many induttrious bees, 
were ail butily and chearfully employed 
In Wailous waye to enrich the preat hive, 
the mother country. What, in the 
name of reafon, then, could juftify the 
wanton abufe of minifterial power in 
breaking the barriers of conititutional 
freedom, and depriving fuch a people, 
without provocation, of their moft /a- 
cred rights? Were the provinces re- 
fractory, feditious, difloyal, or rebelli- 
ous? ‘The contrary is notorious. Were 
the colonies ever charged with the li-

ehe people towards their brethren of 
America: and when the colonies faw 
the wiflom and juftice of adminitration 
fo happily coincide with the withes of 
the nation, they lidd no1cafon to appre- 
hend a change of iicafures; not even 
when a change of men foilowed. They 


fi plated, as they imayined, at the head . 


of affairs, the great ciampion of their 
daufe, whole ‘zeal had ro bounds ; and 
at the head of the-law the only man, 
whp pretended to defend the exemptions 
which they claimed upon legal princi- 
ples. The D—e of G---n, the new 
financier, had openly profeffed, in the 
moft abje&t manncr, that ali he afpired 
at was, to hold the candle to his patrou, 
his friend, his mafter; and the young 
nobleman, who was estrufted with the 
feats of their department, was known to 
favour all their juft pretentions. From 
a miniftiy fo compofcd, coud the Ame- 
ricans look for new vexations and op- 
preffions. This, however, foon hap- 
pened: the D---e cf G---n licking 
the duft uncer his’ patron's /ze/, foon 
dixcoverei that they were gexuty. He 
foon took his Jine like a manof Sp'rit, 


and abandening zt once his old friends, 


his’ old connections, and his old prin- 
ciples, he threw himiclf without referve 
into the hands of a party whole perfons 
he detefted, and whote meafures he had 
hitherto unifo: mly condemned. 

No fooner'was this wheel to the left 
performed, than the fy{tem for the co- 
lonies was chaxged ; new meatures 
were adopted, and old quarrels revived, 
that new opprefficns might follow. 

‘One obitacle indeed ftood in the way 
of thofe projeéts, ‘The fecretary of the 
Southein depaitment being neither a 
Macaroni, nor a member of Arthur's, 
nor of the Yockey Club, thought he 
eould not employ his time better, than 
in the bufin.fs which his f---v---n had 
entrufted him with. His abilities and 
application fon rendered him compleat 
matter of it, and his fpirit and indepen- 
dence led him to difdain receiving abfo- 
Jute diGation in his own department 
from his feilows in office. He had too 
much ftud'ed the interefts of Great 
Britain, with.regard to her colonics, to 
approve of mealures which tended to 
the deftru€tion of both. He was there- 
fore to be removed ; and as no more 
was to he required of his fucccffor than 
obedience and attendance, the mere ta- 
lents of a copying clerk, they looked 
only for them, and avi/ely made choice of 
the n———n in England, who wrote the 
bef? bthd, ; 


No fooner was this new fecretary ef- 
tablifhed, than another seform was 
thought neceffary to make bufinefs 
on finoothly. The wifdom of our ford 


- fathers had deemed it . expedient, - that: 


all matiera relative to trade and planta. 
tions, in their nature fo delicate and ind: 
terefting to this country, fhould. gor 
through a more than ordinary (cruuny, 
before any decilions were made. upor, 
them. For this purpole a board: wad: 
conttituted, to which thefe fhould be sas 
ferred, and from which a report thould. 
be returned to the fecretary of. States: 
This, in the new method, wis found to 
be rather a clog on bufinefs ; but then 
to annihilate this board altogether, would 
be to lofe tne influence of eight good. 
places with their numerous dependeng - 
cies, from the fecretary down to the ne~ 
ceitary-woman, A lucky expedient. 
was at lait hit on by the miniftry to re-. 
mvuve every iInconvenjence, and yet to 
preferve an influence which they could 
not affurd tolofe. My Lord H——h 
was appointed both f---y for America, ; 
and firtt lord of plantations, Jike the 
Welch curate that was both psrfon and 
clerk, to read his own litanies and 
chaunt refponfes to himfeif. ; 
The abfurdity of this regulation, and . 
the ridicule wich it throws upon the 
conduct of fo important, fo interefting a 
bianch of pubic bunnefs, would render 
it a fubjcét of complete ridicule, had 
not confequences of the moit ferious and 
alarming kind fiowed from his manage- 
ment. Under this deputy minilter, re- 
ceiving firft his orders fiom his chief, 
then refering to himtelf, then reportirg 
to himielf, America has been thrown 
into confufion, and the trade of Great 
Britain Rabbed in its vital part. Taxes 
have been deviled for the colonies more 
unequal than the Ramp duties, more op- 
preflive in the mode of collecting, and 
more ineffeétual for the purpofes of re- 
venue, merely, it fhould feem, to bring . 
once niore upon the carpet the queftren 
of right, which a former miniftry bad 
fo happily laid afleep, and which no 
good man would wifh to fee awakened 
again. The moft arbitrary of all adts 
of power has been exercifed, that of a 
LAW inade to force their affemblies to 
make a law; obfolete ftatutes have 
been revived for the punifhment of of- 
fenders, and the bloody ax of Henry the 
eighth has been fcoured up and whetted 
for the necks of the poor Americans. 
Such are the meaiures purfued by our _ 
miniiters to alienate the affections of the _ 
«olonies from the mother country...

a dagger under the cloak of patriotifim 
to ftab their country tothe heart. 

I can now with perfect truth and Gin- 
cerity repeat tbofe affurances which I 
had the honour to make to your majelty 
by letter, when I jntreated. your royal 
permiffion to withdraw my name trom 
adminiftration, that it was not owing 
to any difapprobation of the meafur 
purfued by your majefty’s fervants, but 
folely occalioned by bodily pain and 
weaknefs, Such was the nature of 
infirmity, that I was incapable of die 
charging the duties of the high office to 
which your majefty had gracioully ap-, 
pointed me; und therefore I could not 
with honour receive the emoluments aa- 
nexed to it. 

{ am told that your majefty’s mini- 
fters have been accufed of arbitrary and 
oppreffive meafures, The accufation 
would be a dreadful one, were it a jutt 
one ; but Perhaps the very reverle of it 
is the truth. Might I prefume to ex- 
prefs my judgment of the meafurrs of 
government, it is, that they have been, 
if poffible, tco lenient. 

‘cing now about to retire to a moe 
diftant part of the country, I embrace 
the opportunity of affuring your ma- 
jety, that if ever it fhould pleafe the 

reat giver of all good to retare my , 
former health amd rengi, wt Mah way

mutt b-g to keep to my expianation of

oufly expret. “ Such motion of the

Mr URBAN, 
I Beg leave, through the channel of 

your Magazine ta fubmit the follow- 
ing thoughts upon the art of fhootmg: 
flying, to the coniideration of tome of 
your mathematical coirctpondents. — 

It1s a2 common rule with iportimen 
to tuke al n at the head, or fumewhat be- 
for. the head of a bird, flying in a crois 
direction, inmvacining that from the pul- 
Jing tue tngger, to the thot arriving at 
the deftined piace, the bind will ite ina 
dtreizht creation. Now I aperchend 
theta bulie difcharged froma gun at 
refi ievclled in the mott exct dir-ction 
atthe heod of a bird (a paitudge tor 
initance) Alving acrofs at the diftunce of 
30 yards will not hitduch bid, but pais 
at a .confidirable dittance belind it.— 
For it is computed that a cannon builet 
flies fix handred feet in a fecond cf tiie, 
we wili fuppofe a busiet difcharged fiom 
a common towling piece to fly as faite 5 
the velocity pf a putridge’s motion may 


bz fet at Gixty feet in afecond (the gidi-, 


niry rate of aracehoric) thercduie the 
velocity of a bullet's mouon being outy 
fen times greater than that of « par- 
tridge’s, it fuilows, that in order for a 
builet to itrike tae midd-e of the body cf 
a partridge when the picce from whence 
iv is dilcharged is levelled ata p int only 
fix inchcs ailtant trom fuch middie, that 
tie diltance from the bird to the buvet 
arte time the fame begins to de in mo- 
tien ficu.d be only five feer, for whilit 
the bird is moving only fix inches the 
bullet will have moved lixty, and in pro- 
port.on to the diflance trem the bird to 
the pice, fo will the builet pafs wide of 
fuch middle point. In this ca.cutation 
no ailowance is male for the time that 
the ynious opcraticns that mutt happen 


before the bulict can be put m= maton | 


wil icguire, and which T thud magine

+ 26« Hiflorical, Anecdotes of fome of 
¥be Howard Family, by the Honourable 
‘Chatles Howard, £/7; Robfox. . 

We are told in an advertif{ement pre- 
fixed to this little work that part of it 
wad intended for a preface to a new 
edition of the p»ems of the editor's 
anceftor Henry Earle of Surrey, but 
that the poems being already in the prefs 
under the care of a learned and inge- 
Nious gentleman, he enlarged his plan 
with a few hiftorical anecdotes, and fome 
fetters, which, he believes, have never 
been laid before the publick ; he has 
alfo added the office of Earle Marthall 
of England from an old MS. in the 
poletlion of Mr Edmondfon Mowbray, 

erald. 

Mr Howard has befides MSS. infert- 
ed the account given of the E. of Sur- 
rey by Mr Walpole in his catalogue of 

»Royal and Noble Authors ;_ his charac- 
ter by David Hume in his Hiftory of 
England; an epitaph which he wrote 
on one Clere, whe had been his retainer, 
and caught his death in attending him 
in his wars ; and'a defcription of Dib- 
den, a country feat of Charles Howard, 
“Efq; near Darking, from Aubery’s ac- 
count of Surrey. 

Of thefe articles, and fome other ar- 
ticles not now frft publithed, it does 
not come under our province to fay any 
thing. 

here are fome letters of Lord Sur- 
rey when he was at Boulogne, of which 
he was left governor after it hid been 
‘taken by Henry, to Lord Cobham and 
Lord Grey ; but they are mere letters 
of office, very fnort, and without any 
trace of character, fentiment, or inci- 
dent, and no more worthy of publica- 
tion than a Bill of Exchange, or a re- 
ceipt for money. 

There is a letter written to Lord 
Barghlye, printed from an old M&, in 
the Britifh Mufeum, containing a very 

articular account of the execution of 
Tary queen of Scots. 

Mr Howard fays it is printed here 

becaufe the Tfoward family have fuffer- 
“ed fo much on account of their attach- 


ment to that pnfortunate princefs ; but. 


how the fufferings of the Howards in 
this caufe can be a reafon for publifh- 
ing here a particular relation of this 
fact, cannot eafily be difcovered ; ex- 
cept for the fake of the queen's folemn 
' declaration, ‘ O God, faid fhe, thou 


« that att the author of truth, and truth | 


‘ itlelf, thou knoweft the inward cham- 
"* bers of my thoughts, and how that 


¢ I was never willing that England and 


$ §cotland fhould be united together.’

No mention is made of any of the 
family from the celebrated Henry Ho- 
ward, E. of Surrey, to Thomas Ho- 
ward, Earl of Arundell, his great 
grandfon; and of ‘this nobleman no 
perfonal anccdote is related; we are 
told what places ‘he held, and what hos 
nours he received, by extracts from o- 
ther writers; that he was a great vir- 
tuofo, and purchafed the Marmora A- 
rundeliana, 2t a great expence, which 
were afterwanis pref.rted by his grand- 
fon Henry to the univerhiy of Oxford ; 
and thar atthe age of 61, he died’ at 
Padua. oN

bleman as proud, and almoft illiterate, 
thinking no pert of hittory fo conlide- 
rable as what related t» his own:family.

What ftatues and fragments yet re- 
mained undifpofed of in Arundel! gar- 
dens, the duke having obtained leave of. 
the crown, reméved crofs the water te a 
prece of wafte ground in the manner of 

ennington belonging to the principa- 
lity of Wales, and of which a grant 
was afterwards obtained: but one A- 
rundel], a relation of the Duke's, who 
had been employed by his Giace to ob- 
tain the grant, took the leafe in his own 
hame inftead of his Loid’s, and left it 
to onc Rawe of Cornwall. 

What were thought not woith remov- 
ing, were buried in the foundations of 
the buildings in the lower paris of Nor- 
folk ftre-t. One Mr Aiicfoy, who in- 
habited one of the houtfts, found a 
broken ftatue in h.s cellar, wich he re- 
inoved to his feat in Yorkshire, and there 
was a farcophipus in the cellar of Mir 
James Adamion, who lived in the cor- 
ner houfe on the left hand going into 
the lower part of Norfolk-ftreet, in the 
year 3757. 

As to thofe carried over the water, 
and laid on the prince cf Wales's 
ground, Mr Arantell, foon afrer he 
obtained the grant of the ground, let it 

ora timber yard, and the peiion who 
took it, built up a wharfe, and when the 
foundation of St Paul's was laid, great 
quantities of the rubbith were brought 
over thither to raife the ground, which 
ufed ta be overflowed every {pring tide ; 


fo that by degrees, thofe ftstucs, and - 


other marbles, were buried under the 
rubbith brought to raif. the ground, and 
Jay there for many years a'moft torgot 
and unnoticnd., About the year 1912 
this piece of ground w2s rented by Mr 
_ ‘Theaba!d’s father, wha, faving oceafion 
-to ere& buildings on tie geound, and 
digging foundations, &c. frequently met 
with fome of thoie broken fragments, 
which were taken up and laid on the 
forface of the ground. The late Eail 
¢f Builington having heard of thefe 
things which had been dug up, and that 
they were a part of the Arundel! collec- 
tion, and meeting Mr Thecbald at the 
Royal Sockty, or at his late worthy 
friend Sir Hans Sloane’s, {poke to him, 
and defired he mighc come and take a 
view of them, whi:h he accordingly did, 
arid feemine to adr: ire them, I told him 
they were ac his f-rvive. “ Accordingly 
he chofe what he nleafed, and carried 
them dcwn ta Chifsick houfe, where

Hon. Lord Petre {peaking to Mr The- 
obald about thafe things of the Earl of, 
Buthngton's, told hin he had heard, 
that cn some parts of his ground thire 

were ft! many valuable Fragments of, 
the Arundelian marbles lay buried,: 
which he had been told by the Duke of 
Nortolk. Mr 1 beobeld informed bre 

what he had met with, but feured there 

couid be litie of any confequcnte re- 

maining, as at differeret tines, different 

pirts of the ground hid been dug up. 
He detired icave to employ fome niea 

to Lore tae ground, and endeavour to 

find then, to Which, fays Mr Theobald, 

I readily confinted. Accord ngty he 

ft men to work, and after fix days 

fearching every part, juft as they were 

gaisg co pive over, they fell upon fome- 
thing which gave them hopes, and upon 

opening the ground, they ditcovered fix 

ftatues, withcut heads or aims, lying 
clofe to each other; fome of a Coloffal. 
fize, the drapery of which was thoughe 

to be exceeding fine. When they were 
taken up, Mr [heobald was fupnifed to 

find fticking to {.me of them, a fmall. 
fortof conical Babani, which convinced 
him they mu‘? formerly have lain tn the 

fea, where thofe animals bad faitened 

themielves to them as they do to rocks 

and fhip bottoms: but what he thought 

furpriting was, that although they miuit 

have ftood long expoled to the atr, and 

perhaps had becn Jong under ground, 

they were not fullen off. 

Thete trunks of ftatues were faon af- 
ter fent down to Workfop, the feat of 
his prefent Grace tne Duke of Norfolk, 
in Nottinghamfhire, where they at pic- 
fent remain, 

There were fone few blocks of a fort 
of greyith veined marble, out of which 
Mr Theobald endeavoord to cut fume 
chimney pieccs and flabs to Jay in his 
houft, the Belvedere in Lambcth pari, 
over againft York building, buc the ex- 
pence was moie than their worth: how- 
ever, us they were cut out, there were 
fume of them ufed. The fragment of a 
coluinn he carried into Beskthire to his 
houle, Waltham-place in White Wail. 
tham ; which he converted into a roller 
for his bowling green. It was about 
fix feet long, and ubout eighteen inches 
diameter. ,

many of the European princes as paid 
their court to him under that charaéter, 
he was more poverned by vanity and ca-

married to Lewis XIT. 2s, foon after the 
death of that monarch, which was in 
about three months after his marriage, 
fhe ptain'y told him, that if he did noe 
free her from all fervpl.s within a cer-

His cafuiftry fucceeded within tbe time

Lord HoiJand has finee yublifhed that 
Farer, by wh ich it appears, that the fauvings,

given in and vored jn a° “d of the public fcr-

43,033 £. had been fince aciutted and paid ; 
bec huw much more remains in Lord H—o's

Anowseciged, that the fums of 910,541 

and $3,5334- temaining in hand for three 


ot four years before it was sctourted for, 
is no Incoofiderable advantage. Ft appears 
alfo, that procefs was fipe by the’ king's 
fign «arual; and alsho’ the reafon ma 
por: bly be 'ailewéd to be good, yet, if the ad- 
yw fieg of the public accnunts is to be de

It is reported that the budy of Mr Sterne, 
the ingenious author of Triftram Shandy, 
which was buried at Marybone, has been 
taken up and anatomized by a furgean at 
: Oxford. That gentleman, tho’ happy ina 
fertile genius, does not feem to have heen 
happy thro’ life. He lived during the firft 
period of his life in obfcurity and poverty ; 
and {nthe latter part io a frate of fuparation 
from his wife, who chofe rather to retire to 
a convent in France with her amiable daugh- 
ter, than live in England under the daily 
provcations of an unkind hufband. For 
eho’ the Rev. Mr Szerne was a great wit, it 
cannot be faid that he was a defirable com- 
penion for a woman of delicacy.

Interefting Advices from America. 


We. have already taken notice of the 
adjournment of the general affembly 
of Maflachuffuts Bay from Bofton to Cambridge; 
where being met, # committee was appolred 
to wait upon governor Bernard witha meff ce, 
- by way of rep’y to his Excellency’s anfwer to 
a farmer méflare fiom the houfe, in which they 
expoftulate w.th his Excellency very frankly 
on the danyerons innovation of a ftanding army 
Pofted within the province uncontroulable by 
any power in it; and of a cuard of foldiers wich 
cannon planted atthe doors of the State Houle 
while the Generel Afiembly was there held, 
which, they fay, they cculd nat regard as 8 mere 
ipecutative queftion, but as the moft pointed 
infult that ever was offered toa fiee people ; 
that this infule had heen fince aggravated by the 
removal of thofe cannon the very night after the 
adjournment; that inflead of this abatement 
before the adjournment, the General Affembly 
had been removed from its antient feat and the 
place where the public buiinef> had generaliy 
been done with the greateft convenience, eafe, 
and difpatch, ard made to give way to an arm- 
ed force: That the cenfure paffed upon the 
Houfe for wafting time and treafere to no pur- 
pofe, could only be matter of reproach Co thofe 
who had brought the Houfe into fuch a fiuation, 
as to render their proceeding to bufinefs in- 
compatible with the dignity and freedom of the 
Houfe. They conclude, that no time can be 
better employed than in the prefervation of their 
Tights ; nox any treafure beter expended than 
In fecurtog that crue ok! Englith liberty that 
gives a relifh to every other erjoyment. ; 

To this meffage, ic does not appear that his 
Excellency mace any teply. Ic was preferted 
on the r¢th of June, and on the 2tft of the 
fame month we find a meffage from his Excel - 
ferty, recommerding to the Heufe the difpatch 
of public bufincfs, particularly, 1. “Che fup- 
poit ef government. 2. Supp y of the Trea- 
fury. 3. Payment of the provincial debt of 
rogocel. 4. Vax-bill, 5. Impefttull. 6. 
Excife Lill, 5. Eftablithment of forts and gar- 
Tifons. .8. Truck-wade, &c. ata vfcring every 
aGiflarce confittem with duu. 

On the 28th, enotl.er meflage from the gover- 
nor was prefented to the Houfe, fignifying his 
recall to fay before his majefty che truce ftate of 
the province ; sequairiing the Tloufe with his 
majefty’s inftrudtions for che application of the 
falary when the governor is abfenc ; and at the 
Jame time intimating, that as he had been made 
ts atid rian! that he was ta be continced gover- 
uor, there would be the fame reafons for the 
"grant of the whole falary now zs at any other 
time. 

On the gth cf July, we regular courfe of 
bufinefs feems to have taken plece ; for then a 
committee waited upon the governor with the 
Affembly’s anfwer to his Excvilency’s {peech 
nt the opening of the fetiion on the firft of June. 
la this anfwer, they admic, that the fervice of 
the crown and the intereft of che people are 
obiegts very compatidle with each other, and 


thac they muft be fo under a monarch

Excellency, fay they, in hamble imi a. 
vour royal mafter during your admini&: 
acted from fuch noble principles, many 

Cifputes between vour Excellency and | 
Affemblies would have reen preveated.’

arrear; they afk who brought the Provic

compleated in convenient time, and jhe 
Excellency will give hiv affent co all fu

Thofe who by the prefent laws are de- 


clarcd poor, and for whom an ample 
piovificn is made, are far from being the 
grcateit obje&s of our compaffion. It 
3s the middling induftrious poor that re- 
quire the bounteous hand of charity to 
be extended to th.ir reiicf, and it is the 
idle, vagabond, znd flothful poor, that 
are the reproach and scourge of this na- 
tion. If laws cannot be framed to pu- 
nith idlenefs, vagrancy, and profligacy, 
then laws connot oe framed for refur- 
muicn, but for punifhme:t; a me‘an-.

' The act for the relief of the poor by a 
pani rate or affeffinent, as it was very 

umanely contrived for preventing the 


indigent from wandering about the cuun- | 


try expofed to miftry and famine, was 

t too general, and allowed too great a 
atitude for lazy peopie to avail them: 
telves of parith ibersiity. By the licence 
thercin given to the idle an profligate, 
the induftrious are grievoufly oppreffed. 


By impoting a tax upon the digent to .. 


maintain in idlenefs. thofe who are un- 
willing to work, the beft of our pcople 
are oppreffed for the fake of fupporting 
the worlt, Every body knows the r- 
gour with which p.vifh sates-are collee&t 
ed, and every body bas heard of the 
partial application of them when colleét- 
ed; a few favoured families in every pa- 
rith thare among them the chief part of 
the contribu:ions levied upon the prifhi- 
oners, and t' o'e who ftrive hard to live 
without complaining, are rot only neg- 
leGed, but treated with contempt. — 
There are two claffes of paupers in e-

Propofals for regulating the Poor. oy 


and idle, or who, being ftubbori and 
untragtable, difqualify thenifctves for fer- 
vice by their infolence and difobed.ence. 


_ For thefe the law has proviled no other 


punifhment thin a fhort confinement in 
Bridewel}, and: for the moit mcorrisible 
of them the correGlion of the bouf: ; from 
whence, at the expiraticn of the term, 
they generally return more wicked than 
befo.c. Llence it is, that, magiltrates and 
parith officers are cautious of infli€ting 
this punithment, but rath r chufe to lee 
it hang 17 terrorem over the heads of the 
offenders, than to hazard putting it in 
execution in ho, es of reformation. 
There is yet another clafs of poor, 
more defperate, more abandoned, and 
more dangerous to the community, than 
the path poor of whom we have becn 
ipeaking j nanicly, that fwarm of lufty, 
tturdy, vagrant beggars uf both fexes, 
who under vatious difguifes, and vari- 
ous pretences, wander from town to 


‘town, an.i fiom par-fh to parith, to the 


terror of many, to the ruin of fome, and: 
to th: death of others, who hippen to 
meet them in convenient p!aces unpr:- 
sared ; there being no crine of which 
ome or other of thef: execrabie wretches 
will not be guilty, when fuit:ble oppor- 
tuni‘ies offer. Surely, lenity to thefe 
wicked peopic is a falfe kind cf p-ty, 
as it is often attended w.th circumiftances 
of the greateft cruelty to the virtuous and 
good. No man can plead ignorance of 

is gricvunce, and yet no man puts 
forth nis hand tosedrefs it. 

Were the r. dreffing of it an im, ract- 
cabl- undertaking, the fame evil would 
every whete aiike predomi.ate ; ‘:ut when 


‘ we fec an example before us in the Dutch 


policy, our p: triotifn niult be of the fee- 
left kind, if it cannot cfe& for this 
country, what has been done for a nvign- 
bouring ftate. There, ndeed, the wife 
dom of the legiflature 1s not more cen- 
fpicuous, than the firmuef« and refolu- 
tion cf the magiftracy. Wharever the 
frit ena&ts, the other enfore-s by the moft 
rigurcus execution. In England, the 
reverie of this is charaéeriftic. England 
is cele!.rated for yood laws badly erecu- 
ted. Butin God's: name let this no Jon- 
ger be our reproach; let not a race of 
outcafts triumph over our compaffion for 
the ufcful part of our community. To 
what a pitch of wretchednefs muft this 
nation at length arnive, if our legiflature 
continues, feffion after feffiun, to lay 
new impofitions upon the mduitrious poor, 
and at the fame time remains whully neg- 
ligent about the refornration of the lazy, 
diunken, and profitgare prior ; and ane

Experiments for preferving Acorns for 
4 whele year without planti g them, 
Seas to be in a flate fit for vegetation, 
with 'a view to bring over fome of 
the moft valuable feeds from ibe Eatt 
Indies, to plant for the benefit of our 
American colonies. Dy Joun Eviis, 

 Efgy F.R.S. (See Vol. xxx. p. 263.)° 

‘AVING difcovercd that the dilap- 
peintment which I met with about 

a year ago, in attempting to preferve 

through the feafon fome ever-green oak 

acorns and fome chefnuts in wax, was 
owing to their bring unfit for vegeta- 
tion at the time of my enclofing thems 

I refolved in my next attempt to try on- 

ly fach as Tam perfuadcd were found 

and freth. 

Fortunately, my curious ard learned 
friend the Right Honourable Sir Tho- 
mas Sewell, matter of the Rolls, hear- 
ing of my diftrefs, offered to procure 
me fome excellent acorns of the Englith 
oak, part of a parcel he had been fow- 
ing at his feat at Otterfhaw, near Chert- 
fey in Surry ; thefe he was fo obliging as 
to fend me the aoth of February 1767; 
part of them I fowed immediately under 
the windows of my chambers, in the 
kitchen garden of Grays Inn; and on 
the aad of the fame month f inclofd 
about 36 of them in beec-wax. Moit 
of thofe tha Thad fewn in the garden 
came up in June following :757, and 
by the middle of September were fix in- 
ches high. 

This gave me fome hopes that I 

fhouid not labour in vain as I had done 

betare, for part of the fame parcel of 

ever-green oak acorns which failed, I 

had given to Sir Thomas Seweli tho 

year before to fow, and he affurcs me 
that not one of them came ug win 
him, I likewile difcover & though woo

- ould not be fo particular in ex- 
Pi ang the caufe of my difappoint- 
Sr.cut, but to fhew the care that is ne- 
ecfiary to be taken bv perfons abroad 
in the choice of the feeds, as weil as the 
flaie they ought to be in, if they ex- 
pett they fhould anfwer the great end 
we propofe, 

Before I mention the method in which 
T treated thefe acorns, I muft obferve, 
that though I have formerly been fo 
fuccefsfui as to preferve both acorns and 
chefnuts for the {pace cf a yenr in bees 
wax, feveral ef which have afterwaids 
vegerated, and fome ef them are now 
grown jnto trees; yet I always found 
that many of them were rotten when 
they were taken ont of the wax ;, which 
made me fulp.G that it was owing to 
fhe too gieat heat of the melted wax, 
that fo many of them were deftroyed. 
This put me on thinking of the tollow- 
ing method to guard the feeds t» be pre- 
ferved from tov gicat heat. 

After I had chofen out the faireft a- 
corns, laying afide fuch as hai fpecks 

rocesdinz f:om the wounds of infects, 
‘ wiped them very clean tli they were 
qtite bright, fer fear of any condenied 
pcrtpiration on the furface, which if en- 
clofed, would turn to mouidinels. I 
then pour.d fome meleed b.o5-wax into 
Q china yiat. abou, haf an inch deep, 
and foon as the wax was coo!, but fill 

ery pliable, I cut out with a penknife 
as much as woul.’ inclofe one acorn 
this I wrapped iound it, rolling it be- 
tween my lands ail the edges of the 
wx were nefectly unto: in the fame 
manscr I cover:d about 26 of them 
with all the caunen in my puwer, fo 
that aficr they hud bean fet to harden, 
T could not perceive the Jeift crack in 
them. When they were quite cold and 
hard, I prepaicd an oval coip box, of 
g inches icone, 42 biead, and 34 deep; 
Into this i pourcd melted bees-wax to 
the denih of an inci and half; and 
when Iconid bezr my fingsr in it, I 
laid the covered acorns ar the bottom in 
rows 25 ciofe as IT con'd tozether 3 af- 
tciwards othr rows ov.r them, till tae

began to cool, PT poured fore wax that 
was barely fluid over tie uppern cit a-

and placed it on a flelf in a clofet ul

fent it to the care of Mr Dacofta, clerk 
to the Royal Socicty, to their houfe i

of their fir meetings after the long 
vacation. Ady health would not permit. 
me to attend inylclf; but I am inform- 
ed, that when they were cut open and 
exammed, their appearance promifed 
fucecfs ; and that they were ordcred to 
be deiiveredt by Dr Morton, iecretsry to

William Aiton, botanic gardiner to hee

- Such chara&crs, Sir, are known to 
exift; and, I with, that your publifhings 
them may awaken fome parents, who 
perhaps act a too rigorous pait towards 
their children, for want of” confidcring 
what is due to them as young people, 
and which they are ready to allow to the 
children of others. It may alfo enable 
us to form a proper judgment of the 
more felfith cruel tort. How often does 
2 mother when abroad, deceive, with a 
{oft endearing account of the dutiful- 
nels of her Foughter, thereby gaining 
exedit and applaule to heifelf, who at 
her own houle plays the petty tyrant, 
and deprives that very girl of ail her 
rights asa freebosn woman! When a 
meek f{pirit has been accuftomed from its 
infancy to implicit obcdience, it knows 
mot when to emancipate itfelf, and the 
more knowing and artful parent takes 
advantage over it. Inftead of declar- 
tnx freedom, the wiil enthrall it, and 
@hether child or woman, maid or wife, 
will keep it under and make it fubfer- 
wient to her own intereft. Such parents 
act like the great tyrants of the political 
wvorld. They keep their childien in a 
Rute of ignorance, as the others do their 
RubjeRa; making them belive they ae 
aot born for their own advantage, and 
therefore to think or act for thenfelves,

«with meanly deferting his valuable

horrid crimes that can be charged on 
nan, infincerity and ingratitude, and 
wants only one more to fill up the mea- 
Sure of his iniquity.” 

Toall this bitternefs, Mr Onflow has 
made no reply, only a letter from Croy- 
don on the of that gentleman, but 
not fuppofed to be written by him, was 
thrown into the papers by way of or- 
dinary news, in which the writer re- 
marked that two extraordmary things 
had happened there, a maiden affize, 
and a quict mceting, thaugh parfon 
@ome was there prefent. This perfcct 
harmony and unanimity the writer af- 
eribes to two caufes, one, Mir Onflow's

Mr URBAN, Ane. Ss 1769. 

myer has heen lately adverttted 
in the News-papers, a Map of the 

Sea: of War betwsen the Xufsass, Peles, 
and Tzrits, The authors Micflts. An- 
drew Dury and P. Belt, affure us, that 
they have been favowed by his Excet- 
leacy Count Cheraifhef, with manu- 
fcri,t and other maps ; and that they 
have compiled tatiss from thim. Who 
would not expet after fuch an account, 
a very accurate, new, and intereiting 
man of thefe ccunuies, which. are the 
thea:reof war, 2ndiu littie known to the 
reft_ of Europe, and of which we have 
net any good and accurate maps as yet 
publifhed. But upon a critical compa- 
vilen:, we found to our great aftonith- 
sent, that the whole work is oniy a 
copy of thofe maps already publifhed in 
tue Ruffian Atias; a work which the 
Pcterfburg!.-Academy is now afhamed to 
own. arter th:y have feen what mmprove- 
ments itis captble of. The Academy 
th-efore, has 1 her fervice two very 
dkiltul geographers, and more than fix 
or eight young ftudents, well inftructed 
in Mathe:maticks and Drawing ; and are 
befides poffeis'd of mote than twenty or 
thiity Porte-Folio’s, with ahout three 
thoufand Maps. Drawings, and Charts, 
as well printed as manufeript. There 
were in the year 1766, ready for engra- 
ving, feven maps of Livonia, Efthonia, 
and the Cuiph of Finland ; one of the 
government ot Smclenfko, one of the 
Ukraine, one of the environs of Mofcof, 
and one of the government of Oren- 
burg; eleven pieces in all, wich were 
dore with the greateft accuracy. The 
Adiniralty at Peterfburgh has a fine col- 
‘ftion of Manulcript Charts, and chiet- 


Remarks on Dury’s Map of the prefent State of War. 


ly fo of the Black and Cafpian Seas, and 
of that of Azof. The Senate, the Col- 
lege of War, the Corps of the Eng)- 
neers, the College of Revilion, and the 
Geodztical-Comptoir, have each grand 
and choice collections of exquifite maps 
and plans of the Ruffian empire and its 
neighbouring countries, and I have feen 3 
great many manufciipt maps in the pol- 
(eficn of many general officers in the 
Ruffian Service, which might be de- 
fervedly called accurate ; fo that if a 
perfon had an accefs to all thefe helps, 

e might be enabled to make of Ruffia 
and the adjacent countries, more accu- 
rate maps, than of any other part of the 
world. His Excellency Count Cherni- 
thef being Lord of the Admualty, has 
the command ot the maps kept at that 
office. His confin, Count Zachar Cher- 
nifhef, is ar the head of the College of 
War, where the fineft drawings are d=- 
pouted of the prefent feat of War ; and 
the Academy has, I know, fince 1766, 
publifhed many of the above mentioned 
mapas, efpecially that of the Ukraine and 
the adjacent Pouifh and Turkifh domini- 
cns. Is it therefore not a fhameful im- 
pofition upon the public, to advertife a 
bad copy of a wretchedly inaccurate map, 
as a compilation of manuicript msps ? 
and :s it not abufing the name of his F.x~ 
cellency, by prefixing it to this produc- 
tion of vile intereft and impofture ? Had 
the authors really appled to his Excel- 
lency, they would have been enabled to 
get better helps than thofe they fallely 
boat of. And as this country ts here 
fo little known, and therefore very few 
are ahie to judge of the merit or dement 
of the performance, I thought it incum- 
bent upon me to warn the public againg 
this map, which the interelted views of 
the publifhers have a mind to obtrude 
upon it asa performance compiled frone 
Manufer:et Maps. We could very ea- 
fily produce an tufinite number of inftan- 
ces to prove our affertion ; hut.we wil! 
content ourfelves with Jayir.; before the 
inteljipent public the following pots. . 
The fole comparifon of th: mays in the 
Rullian Atlas, and of the five maps pub- 
lithed at Peterfourgh of the expeditions 
in the years 3736 —3739, sth this mip 
of Meficrs Dury and Bel!, will convince 
every body of the truth of its being a 
mere copy of them. 

Moreover, how can it he expected, 


that meno who have not the leatt knowledge 


of the Ruffian language, fhould publill 
a good and accurate map of rhait part of 
the World, where muit every mo- 
ment blunder in (palling the nator af 
Lowns, riwers, caper, Ec. Ral 


» Had thefe men only been acquainted 
with fome printed maps,. which were 
publithed later than thofe of the Ruffian 
Atlas, as for inftance, D* Anville’s and 

« Pepfinct's maps of the Crim-Tartary and 
Biack-Sea, and a map of Lithuania, 
made by a Polith Jefuit ; heed they con- 
fulted ‘accounts of thefe countries, 
had they fome notion of Mathematicks * 
and Criticifm, to compare things and 
had they made ufe of thefe accomplith- 
ments and helps for the correttness 
and inprovement of their performance, 
we would be the firft to congratulate the 
public upon the acquifition of fo valu- 
‘able a piece, as a new and accurate map 
of the prefent Seat of War. 


But that the impartial public may be © 


enabled to jus we refer to a map ofa 
t Seba nae Volga, which is pub- 
ithed in the la volume of the Pbilxfe- 
‘pbical Tranfacions; and im our next 
magatine we {hall produce a tketch of 
the Crim, the Sex of Azof, and parts 
f the rivers Dneper, Bog, and Cuban, 
communicated to ug by an ingenuous 
correfpondent, = flight comparifon of 
‘both which, with Mr. Dury’s map, will 
convince the connoiffeur whag a vait dif- 


ference there is between 2 work drawn , 


after manuf:ript.and other may 

and memoirs, and with a notion of lan- 
guages, hiftory, and antiquity ; anda 
mere copy of maps, difavowed by the 
Peterfburgh Academy. Wedonot pre- 
tend to obtrude thia tketch as a perfed 
work. It is an effay for improving the 





ographyof a country little known, and 
Fievereo i And if the pub- 
Jic will have a. little ‘patience, and the 


author meet withencoj \t, he may 
perhaps, give a map of thofe countries, 
.which will deferve thedpprobation of che 
intelligent public. - I am,

Mr. Urnaw Aug. 10, 1769. 
T. is very furprizing, that writers, who 

undertake to compile pecrages of 
England, thould, through negligence, 
commit the moft palpable mi@akes, and 
even contradi®& themfelves in different 
parte of their works. Many inftances 
of this fort occur in Jacob's, . 
Thus we are told, p. 352. vol.'s, that 
Edw. I. gave Henry the firft lord Piercy,

this is the true ftate of the cafe. John 
Cummings being afufinated by this Ro- 
bert Bruce in the church of Dauifries, 
in 1306. 

Page 156, we are told, that Hen: 
lord Piercy, grandion of Henry the fi 
earl of Northu-nberland, was taken pri- 
foner with James, prince of Scotland, 
whom his father Robert IIT. intended ta 
fend into France ‘o efcape the treachery 
of Robert duke of Albany, but was in- 
tercepted in his paffage by the Englith, 
who took hin and his attendants prifo- 
ners, $ Hen. IV, as they fix this event. 
But this account is utterly falfe, it being. 
certain, that the captivity of prince Jamez 
happened in 1405, 6 Hen. JV. and thde 
lord Piercy remained in Scotland, whi- 
ther his grandfather had carried him, till 

Hen. "V. when that prince fent lord 
brey of Codnor, and Sir John Nevil, th 
condué him to England *. We are 
told, that Edith Stourton, had, by her 
hufband, Sir John Beauchamp, of Blet- 
ftoe, a daughter, Margaret, wife of Ed- 
mund earl of Richmond, and mother of 
Hen, VII. whereas it is well known, 
that Margaret countefs of Richmond, 
was the daughter of Jolin Beaufort, firft 
duke of Somerfet, by Margaret, daugh- 
ter of Sir John Beauchamp, and the a- 
bove named Edith Stourton. 

P. 394, Winiftid, lady Stourton, di- 
ed July 15, 1754, it fhould be July af,

+ 430, we arc told, that Sir Andrew 
Murmay was beheaded in 1432, for his 
adherence to king David Bruce ; where- 
as the real truth is, that he was put to 
death for inftrusting Baliol'sarmy where 
to pafs the river Tay, to attack kin 
David's forces in the night, which occa- 
fioned the defeat of David's army. 

P. 483, we are told that Richard the

firt wife, Mary, reli& of Roger, the 
fecond earl of Orrery ; and p. g92, that 
the faid vifcount had to his frit wife,

P. 545, we are told, thet on the de-

John was grandfather of Sir Richard, who

have treated of the peerage, are equally

I Have feen your publifhed account of 
fome of the principles I make ufe of 
in my Fire-Engines ; and you have given’ 
it in fo favourable, as well fo juft a light, 
that { am obliged to give you my 
thanks. As the model you have ts on- 
Iy an inftrument proper to deraonftrate 
the effects of air between fteam and: wa- 
ter, I fhall do myielf the p'eature of 
fending you a more compleat one ; which 
will give you an opportunity of thewing. 
more of the relative powers of air, wa- 
ter, heat and cold, aGing one with the 
other, for the different effects neceffary 
in raiing water. In the mean time [ 
fend you a draught of an Engine which 
can force it up to a confiderable height. 
I don't give you all the apparatus which 
makes this machine wor by itfelf, be- 
caufe it would be lefs clear in the draw- 
ing; yet you will {ce that in fome cafes 
this engine operates without the help of 
hands; fuch as letting in air into its 
vefi.l, forcing it out, and charging the 
boiler with water, to replace that which 
has been evaporated. I fhall fend you 
ina little time a drawing of another 
fire-engine to bring water back on 
wheels, for mills of all kinds, fo muck 
wanted in manufacturin,, towns, efpe- 
ciaHy in London. For there (as you 
know Sir) a prodigious quantity of hor- 
fes are employed ata great number of 
mills (for various manufa&tures) which 
take up not only a great [pace of ground 
on account of the horizontal apparatus, 
but alfo require much room for abling.

which i the northern countries is a dif- 
covery Of the prefent age. The other 
if; that-the orientals thought all dipli- 
cates male and female, even the parts 
of the body. To the douhle members, 
thé arms. hands, legs, and feet they gave 
2 mafculine termination’ and 2 feminine 
cor. ftrution, and in the fecond of Chro- 
nicles, chap. iti. v. rz. where mention 
is made of the cherub’s two wings, the 
conftruction even alternates, betng maf- 
culine for the right wing, and feminine 
for the Icft; the following tranilation 
im barbarous Latin will make this clear 
to thofe who do not urderftand Hebrew. 

‘Et ala cherubs alterius exporreftus 
erat ad partetem templi, et ala altera 
conjunéta ahe cherubi pi foris. 

With refpeét to the advantageous in- 
fuénce of language upon opinions, the 
author obferves, that in fome inftances 
the names of ‘things ‘comprchend accus 
rate defcriptions, and real dcfinitions ; 
and° that by confidering the etymology 
of words borrowed from another lan- 
Busse, very important knowledge is to 

€ acquired. 


' We vfe the word glory, and we all 
thaps have nearly the fame idea under 
3t, but it conveys no more ‘inftru&tion 
than an algebraic chara&er. Glory is 
generally confounded with the caufe that 
produces it; it 1s confidered as fome- 
thing inherent in the glorious being ; 
and we have been taught that the glory 
of God'does not ‘depend upon his crea- 
tures, nor the glory of a wife man upon 
what others think of him. ~~ 
‘In this refpeét the Greck language has 
2 great advantage, the word for glory 
ole is a definition of it; it means opr- 
w73;, and is ufed to exprefs the favoura- 
ble opinion which the world entertains of 
our good ations. Ey cots Eira, 13 fo be 
in the good opinion of otbers, and doessoes 
is one of whom the publick has a good 
Opinion. | 
- The author fays, that the idea of glo- 
ry, which the Greek name conveyed, 
rendered it impoffible to fuppofe that it 
could be attained by-guilt, violence, and 
devaftation ; but in thie he is manfeftly 
miflaken’; for mankind have always had 
a high opmion of ‘ptowefs and courage, 


i we = bh “a 


more. glorious, in the Greek feafe-of the: 
word, than any other charaéter>. Alex. . 
ander 1s ‘fet dugher in the general efima.. 
tion by: ficeeisful violence, carnage, and 
rapine; then any monarch faace.the ere. - 
ties fer: matmtoining equity, and-diffuimg 
the bleflings of peace. Though Aska 
means cpinion, it dors not mean the dpi- 
muon of the few, but of the .manys to 
have:the good opinion only of the fpecu- 
lative and wite, whoie number is always 
inconfiderable,: and whofe. fituation is 
raliy ob{cure,.is not te be glorious 
in any ferfe. A man who challenges 
another for an infult,. gets honour; he 
who refufes to fight, incurs difgrace ; 
and yet the challenger is condemned, 
ani the other approved by all whe have: 
conquered prejudice by juit thinking. 

- To inereafe this advanta influ - 
ence of language upon opinion, the -2u- 
thor recommends the muitiplication of 
fignificant names, but he jutthy obferves, 
that though they may be eafily invented,: 
it will be very difficult to bring them in- 
to.afe. 

- Fhe author proceeds to give inftances 
Gf the bad influence of language on epi- 
nions ; when in confequence of great 
copioufnefs in 2 larguace, two different 
names are given to two fpecies.of the 
fame. kind, the people will imagine that 
they are of different fpecies; it re- 
quires confiderable learning to know that 
the Larch and the Cedar, the Pine and 
the Fir, are varieties of the fame species ; 
but if they had been ctiflinguifhed by 
adding an adjective to the generical name, 
as {pruce-Fir, and ever-green Larch, 
this knowledge would have been con- 
veyed by the name. The word Fever 
is uled toexprefs two diftempers effenti- 
ally differcnt, on account of fome fymp- 
toms commor to both, the confequence 
‘of whichis, that unfkilful pragtiuoners 
in phyfic treat both in the fame manner ; 
others, inftead of-a remedy, adminifter 
‘poiton: If the difeafe ts putrid, evacua- 
tion and a cool reyimcn are fatals-f0 are 
<ordials and the neglect of exacuation, if 
it is inflammatory. 

A. general fource of mifchief in opi- 
nion, arifng fram language,.is the want 
of neutral terms: for many objcés, it 
being mpofible to name thefe without 
praite or blame ; if the neceflary ideas 


*are erroncous, the judemest of the pco- 


ple will neceffanly be fo too. -

in this manner. I took, fays he, a con- 
venient quantity of rain water, in which 
I diffuived flare lime, about two pounds 
toagallon; I let it ftand two or three 
days, Rinting it thrice a day. I poured 
the water of into another veile!, und to 
every gallca of lime waier, 1 puvabout 
four ounces cf common nitre, and 3 
pourd of pidgeon’s dung, mixing them 
well tovether, and ftirrinz them three or 
four times a day for the foace of four 
days, and then Rrained off the liquor to 
Keep for ufe; and the ufi I ‘mace of it 
was this. T took an handful of wheat 
and put it into a quart of this liquor to 
fteep, ‘and when it had Tain about 28 
hours, I took the wheat out and laid it 
to dry in the air for the fpace of one

their repofitory. Whether it be ftill pre- 
ferved, Iknow not. ‘The experiment 
was made in 1692, and perhaps as the 
improvement of agriculture is but lately 
revived, a curiofity of tnat kind may 
have been thought unworthy thz' care of 
a fociety of phitofuphers. As 1 have no 
other view in recommending this, fteep to 
the notice of tie public, but-thar of

I hope some public fpirited hwfbandman 
will ie induced to give ita tair tral, and 
for the benctit of his brethren make pub- 
hic the fuccefs, . : 
- Ia the profeeution of this experiment, 
IT cannot help «iving this caution. That 
asit appears both fiom Mr Miiter’s ex- 
peniment. and from the experiment a- 
ove related, chat the grains. of wheat 
muft b+: ¢ room to cx:end their increafe, 
carc fraud be takea in the fowing, tiat 
the feeds may b-. ipread as equallv as

in the ordinary w:+ is commoniy iown. 
T.know bow hard it will be to perfuade

As the comet, which now appears with- 
in. or near our folar fyitem, engages 
the attention of nhilofophers and. aftro- 
nomezs, I tend you a conjecture cen¢cern- 
ing their theory, wiich, amoug other 


things, Lw-ote fame yecre aco: to the 
Right Hon. Lord fviotne Stewart. 


jtis well-known thet the tunis.a la- 
minous holy, whica has a finaii motion 
round its axis, and that fix dark bodies 
mov: round it at different diftances in 
elliptic orbits, with the fnn in: ond of 
the. foci, by the, demonftraiions .of the 
great Sir Tfiac Newton ; and it has-been 
fuppoted, from analogy ond the Ivmi- 
noulnefs of the fixed ftars, thac every 
one of them is a fun, hevirg a fyttem 
of plansts :evolving :ound ticmin the 
fame manner. a me 

Th comets are another kind of ftars, 
whofe paths and perieds are not yet - 
ex:Cay afcertained. I fholl noe at pre- 
fent cnumerate «tl the conjcétures con- 
cerning them whi h have been formed, 
When I ftudied aftranomy, I was fatie- 
fied from their history and the apinions 
of philafopbers, that their peths and pe- 


‘yiods were regular, and firther fuppoted 


them to have cone fixed ftaror fun in one 


. focus, and another ton or fixed far in 


the othe: focus, and confequently the 
opbitin which they. move muft be an 


-ellinfs of a cetain kind, according to 
- the dilfances of theie ftars. 


The elltp- 
fis of thefe conicts, which appear in our 
fyiigm, and have a flzr in one focus, and 
a’fun in the cther, may probahly be ex- 
adiy found by obfervations ; and there- 
fore the places and diflances, &c. of the 
flar in its focus may allo he found: and 
af vilible, conjecture made of its mag- 
nitude.

is very vifibla, gives cn cxcedent oppor-

— —Sfrire, 13 Sept. 1769—1 o'clock 

Tut/day morning. 

—— When {left London, I pro- 
mifed alfo to give you a full, true 
and particular account,’ of my pro-

he was unable to play, but doubted 
not they wouid flew him how when he 
got there) told them it was to be the 
celebration of the refurrcétion of Shake- 
{peare.—The church which is a lage 
old cdifice, appzared in flatu qua, cx- 
cept that the poet s buft on his monn- 
ment, was fo loaded with branches of 
bays, which they called laurel, as to 
wppear fimilar onity to the God Pan in 
an old pitture.—The town-hall, newly 
built in a very handfome though plain 
tafte, was ornamented with a copy of 
Gainfborough’s admirahle portrait of 
Garrick at one end; and a very good 
pifture of Shakefpeare, in the attitude 
of In{pir.tion at the other.—he great 
booth, or Shakefpeare’s Hall, more ge- 
merally called the Amphitheatre, I 
found a truly elegant and tafteful room, 
of the fhape, but not quite fo large as 
Ranelagh—iupported by a colonade of 
the Connthian crder, diitant about ten 
feet from the fides, and having a chan- 
delier of enght hundred lights, hanging 
from the center of the :oof *. In the 
evening, after cating a Jubilee chicken 
at Peyicn’s, I retired to my lodging to 
prep:re for the fatigues of the enfuing 
campaign—and having given you fome 
account of the fictd, you will not be at 
3 lefs when we come into the heat of 
action. 

I refe, eariy in the morning, theugh 
Not in tine for the ferenading, and got 
_to the breakfaftine in the town-hall at 
nine.— The five windows wets, on this 
occafion, feed with paintings of tran{- 
parent flk, ct Lear, Fahatl, Pittol, 
Caibar, and the Genius ef Slhike- 
fpeue, ina good file, which, with the 
fites and drums, playing favcu: ite mor- 
ches bzfore tie front of the lind], had 
a prodigicus effc&.—At eleven we ad- 
‘journed to the church, where the orato- 
rio of Judith was admirably perferm- 
ed, and met with univerts! applaufe.— 
At three the whole company marched 
to the grat booth.—A very elegart 
dinner was ferved up before four. —I

tur that was impoflible, as you may 
€alily conceive. — ‘The ordinary with 
wine (of which T drank claret and 
madcira, both good) 10s. 6d.—After 
dinner, Jord Grofeener propofed a bum-

hilarity) another to the memory of the

cheers, at the inftance of your humble 
fervant, moft heartily. —Tne perform- 
ers in the orcheftra then began the 
catches and glees, whicii were abfolute- 
ly infpiring, and the compiny jcined 
inthe chorus. The whole clofed with 
the old loyal fong of * God fave the 
king,” when every voice was exerted. 
At feven the company withdrew to pre- 
pare for the bali, which opened ar nine 
and ened abont three; remarkable 
chiefly for the moit elegant minuet that 
I ever faw or fhall fee, by Mrs G—— 
and Mr : 

I came aw.ty with the ref, and de- 
voted, in a bed, miferable in every par- 
ticular, but that it was clean, » few 
hours to peaceful oblivion. —So fer the 
‘ecather had favoured us; but on ri- 
fing in the morning to the bieakfatting, 
as before, we were alarmed by a hateful 
drizzling rain, which continued till e- 
leven, and ‘bliged Mr Garrick to give 
notice, that the procefiion cn which he 
had beftowed fo much pains and ex- 
peuce, mult be deferred, but that the 
Ode thould be performed at twelve ;— 
aad here he did indeed outdo all his for- 
mer outdoings, and furpafs the ‘moft 
fanguine expectations of his friends in 
the fublime : furely the toilowmg lines 
are admirable ; 


When Philip's fam’d unconquer'd fang 
Had evry blood-itain’d laurel won ; 
He iigh’d, that his creative word, 
Like thar which rules ihe ties, 
Could not bid other words are, 
To (atisfy his yet unfated tword, 
But when our Shake:peare’s matchlefe 


en, 
Like Alexander's {fword, had done with 
men ; 

He heard no figh, he mzdc no moan, 

No: Jimited to human kiad, 
His wonder-vurning mind, 
Rais‘d other worlds and b.ings all his 
own. 

And his intro'uation of Falftaff, ac- 
companied by alt his power of voice, 
face, and gelture, compelled faci ap- 
plauze as T never heard before; his frying 
that the fat knight is ‘a comic world 
in one.” 


‘And the world too is wicked and 
round,” 
furely ia genuine wit. 

‘I could dwell for ever on the Ode, 
which received every advantage that the 
greateft orator of the age, himielf the 
author, could give. Nor fhould Dr 
Arne’s tncomparable take in the mafical

The following Remarkable Cafe is taken 
Srom an tigenious littl Work, jaft 
putlybed, by Mr Tomliafon of Bie 
mingham, wider the Title of the Me- 
dical Mijceilazy, printed for Nicoll. 

ON July 15,1768, aman (60 years of 
“ age) was biought into the Buming- 


ham town infirmary,who by falling down ° 


into a draw-well go fee? .ic*p, tractured 
his left leg in fuch a mauner, that from 
the diftance of about five inches below 
the knee,to-nearly the fame face above 
the ancle, both bones were broke in dif- 
ferent places, and feveral portions fepa- 
rated from each cther. There wasa 
very large wound through which the 
tibia protruded. The fraéture at the 
upper part of the tibia was obiique, and 
I was fearful that bone was fhivered or 
fplit as high as the upper condyl, but 
however, upon carefully examining, I 
was convinced that the joint was not in- 
jured. The fame favourable efcape 
happened at the ancle, though the fibula 
was fraQured very near it. I dilated 


the woun-! and took out the fplinters, ‘ 


and laid the leg in as convenient a fitu- 
ation as I couid in a fra&ture-box. ‘The 
uppcr fracture appeared as is reprefented 
in the plate annexed. But the diftance 
between the bones ina few days became 
lefs, their extreinities being drawn toge- 
ther by the contraction of the mu(cles.* 
The firft grand point to de.cnnine was, 
whether amputation thould be performed 
er not? Many rezfons occurred on both 
fides the queftion, but the arruments 
for keeping on toe limb preponderated 
from the following confidcrations : in 
the firft piace the joints were uninjured 
and there was no very great contulion, 
and fcarce any hamorrhage; and again, 
though the advanced age of the patient 
might be urged as an objection, yet on 
the other hand his conftitution was 
ftreng, and his {pirits remarkably good ; 
the opinion too of Monf. Bilgucr, in 
refpect to thefe cates, and the remem- 
brance of many cxamples quoted by au- 
thors wherein the bones had been, be- 
yond expeétation, united, and deficien- 





* This contraction of the mufcles is al- 
ways very powerfully exerted in all frac- 
tures, and is beft remedied in a fexed poti- 
non of the mb, As to Mr Wachen’s ma- 
chine, I dare not apply it on account of the 
contraction of the mufcies, for fear of giving 
pain: itis ufeful chiefly for removing the 
patients, ; 


Chirurgical Experiments on a fraftured Limb. 


cies and lofs of fubftance fupplied, plead- 
ed very ftrongly in favour of our at- 
tempting to tave the limb, which was 
after due confultation agreed upon, 

We forefaw the trouble which this 
lenity would bring upon us, and indeed 
every difficulty which might be expe&- 
ed did every day prefenticfelf tous. A 
deluge of matter oveiflowed the wound, 
and notwithftanding all the precautions 
ufed, both in making incifions and ap- 
plying. coinpreffes, we could not prevent 
the mifchtefs which happened. A re- 
cital of each minute proceeding would 
be tedious : fuffice it to fay, that after 
12 weeks fuffcrings,fymptoms of abforp- 
tion came on, and I found it neceffary 
to amputate above the knee at Irft. The 
operation was performed Oéctober roth. 
The ftump healed tolerably well, but 
unfortunately the patient fell ill of a fe- 
ver, and died on January 12, 1769.* - 

- From thefe foregoing remarks and 
cafes,it will appear how difficult and un- 
certain all our decifions prove in com. 
pound fragtures. It is faid, that coun- 


try practitioners have in general better 


fuccefs than hofpital furgeong in treatin 
thefe accidents, but to what this fuccets 
is owing I cannot jay, unlefs the diffe- 
rence of air gives the advantage. Nor 
is the fact itfelf abfolutcly certined, be- 
caufe the proofs mult depend upon aa 
exact comparifon in refpect to the num- 
ber of cafes in each fituation, which has 
not yet been made. As to care, skill, 
convenience, and every other requifite 
for the welfare of the fick, hofpital- 
practice mutt furely claim the preference. 
We fee ypon the whole that the pro- 
priety of our determinations in every 
doubtful exigence cannot be afcertained 





* I will add an obfervation or two ina 
note.—TI have found in amputations when 
the blood of the patient is very thin, trouble- 
fome and dangerous hemorrhages enfue 
from the whole furface of the flump. Seve- 
ral methods fhave been recommended to ob 
viate this inconvenience, fponge Las been 
tried, but it proves f-metimcs infufficient, 
and crates much difficulty by mixing with 
the fiefhy fibrcs. The beft prevention is by

Some Account of Sufaonah Lott, aid 
Benjamit Bufe, who were lately exe- 
cuted om Pennenden Heath, in Kent, 
for Murder. 

SAT Hithe, in Kent lived a grazer 

“2X and butcher of confiderable fub- 

tance, whofe name was Lott ; about 

‘two years ago he hired, as a maid fer- 

vant, a young girl, whole frienidg lived 

in a town not far diftant in the fame 

‘county ; to this girl he took & great 

Jiking, and at length offered to marry 

her; the refufed, and he perfilting in 

hi which he urged with great im- 

portunity, the girl left her place, and re- 

turned ps her friends. P 
Among oth:r p:rfons with whom fe 

foon became acquainted was Bute, a 

oun, fellow who fublitcd chiey by 

jing: 

F Lett cotld not help following 
the girl, and continuing his fuit, Bults 
became her confidant, and urged her to 
marry, that the might become entitled 
to part of his fubftance upon his death, 
he Ting much older than the, 

The girl at length confented, and as 
foon as the war manied, Buls propoted 
to poifon her hufband, that the might 
torte into immediate pofleflion of what 
the law would aliot her as his widow. 

‘This propots! fhe at firit rejeéked with 
horror, bit being urged by earne(t and 
repeated intreaty, the at length unlfap- 
Pily complied. . 

Bufs immediately bought two oun- 
tes of corvofive tublimate, at the fhop 
bf Mr Gipps, an apothecary at Hithe 
and an opportunity soon offered to 
ufe it. 

‘A few days after the marriage, Mr 
Lott propofed to take a day's plesfure, 
and Bufs wasinvited to be of the party. 
‘They all fet out on horfeback, and at 
Burmath Mr Lott difmounted to inend 
a bridle; a publick houfe was at hand, 
and at the requeft of Bufs and his wife 
De went im and ordered fome milk: bum

Bufs drank, and ‘having found mean: 
drug what rentfained withthe fablim: 
gave it to poor Lott, who drank, but 
compizined that tt wad bitter’ and hot, 
aad had-a bad tafte. ‘Fhe woman. of 
the houfe who knew Lott, and as het 
‘cuftomer, was defirous to oblige Him, 
vouched for the gdodnefs of the ingre- 
dients_ which fhe had furnihed, ahd 
‘expreffed much ‘mortification at’ thelr

odd and greeable tafte, notwith-

No fufpicion of poifon, However, was 
entertained, dnd Mrs Lote, with whofe 
rivity the fablimate was adminiftered, 
ving, to account for the tate of which 
her hufband complained, obferved that 
the water might be bad, the good wo- 
man and her daughter feem to have ac- 


qniefced in the opinion, and no further 


notice was then taken of the matter, 
notwithitanding the'young woman was 
foon after fick and vomited. 

In the mean time poor Lott, whofe 
dofe had been more liberal, expetienced 
more dreadful effeéts ; in their journey 
from Burmafh to Bonington he was 
taken very i], with ficknels at the fto- 
mach and vomiting; at Bonington 
therefore they ftopped, and ordered fome 
tea, Lott being thirtty drank plenti- 
fully, and this tinall warm diluting be- 
verage was of fo much benefit to him, 
thaz he’ began to recover from the effects 
of the'poiton very’ Fatt. 

At Boningron Bufo left them; he* 
went back, and they proceeded to Hithe 5 
but he came the next day to see the effect 
of his projeét, and was greatly difap- 
Pointed to find Mr Lott without any 
figns of danger. . 

‘He iminediately ptocured more poi- 
fon, which hz gave to Mrs Low in a

Pitt wanted nothing but thé active de- 
partment; and it was readily a 

that he fhould §

larly to Pitt; becaufe riot being obliged 
to raife the treaiute which he ‘lavifhed,

- The people ‘of England; fitys this 


author, though in appearance fond of 


political freedom, are great admirers of 
thofe decifive meafuret, Which ate the 


mo brilliant part of tyranny, and’ 


an abfolute exeition of power. The 
flow motions of a popular government, 
want, in vulgar ey s, that fplendor which 
attends the sapid deterininations of au- 
tocracy ‘and defpotifm. Mr Pitt, pof- 
felled of qualities, which might remder 2 
man ‘to a throne abfotute even 


with the confent of the people, was de-" 


ftitute of that polite urbanity, whict 
makes a minifter acceptable in the clo- 
fet. Born to no fortune, his mind had 
not heen foftened down to humanity by 
luxury, nor polithed by education. Na- 
ture had furnifhed him with a good ge- 
nius, to the’ powers of which he was no 
ftranger ; and a felf-confidence, near al- 
lied to infolence, dift:nguifhed every part 
of his conduét. Mixed with thefe un- 
courtly defects, there fometimes appeared 
a ferviiity of adulation, an impudence of 
flattery, that could only impole upon the 
credylous, vain, and weak. By the lat- 
ter mems, he kept poffeffion, in tome 
degree, of the confidence of the p-—e ; 
his eloquence in. the fenate, the tumult 
and noife of fuiccefsful expeditions, not 
planned, tho’ adopted by him, acquircd 
to him the admiration of the people.” 
Cur viétores forthree years attontfhed 
all Europe, and weak people afcribed to

caftie and family ta&tions depended noo 
parties which they had taken no pains ¢o

Newcaftle faStion had, by a long courte 

of injuried, rendeted itfclf odious at Lei- 

eéfter Houle; and Pitt, by a recent de- 

fertion, and bicach of pro:rnics, ba! fur- 

feited all claim to futuse regard, It 

was fefolved, therefore, to com:nence 

the reign with anew miniftry, but this 
meafure was laid are by the advice of 
one who ptt i in execution at a mach 
more improper time. 

A fy of government was ther. 
formed much better fitted for the theory 
of the clotet, than the praétice of the 
ftate. Refolations already. formed, 
however falutary, were not well relithed 
by men who, ftom the refpontiblenets of 
their office, arrogated the right of pre- 
concerting wiratever they were to exc= 
cute 

Mr Pitt, with great art, called lord 
Bute into office, which flattered the va- 
nity of a man who, with good qualities, 
had an ambition which he wanted poli- 
tical courage to fuppdért. From the mo- 
ment lord Bute affumed the f{cals, the 
Newcaftle party declined,and thofe who, 
being neareit their perfons, had the bet 
opportuntty to forciee their ruin, were 
the firft who deferted their canle, Mr 
Pitt’s department remained intire, and 
lord Bute fecmed willing to divide his 
power with a mah who, whether juftly 
or not, was the favourite of the people. 

‘This man however was not fatisfied g 
but the management of the war bein 
lete compleatly in nis hands, and muc 
attention being paid him by. his rivaly 
he could form no pretence tor reigning 
his office ; a meafure which, by a frau 
perveriion of politica, 13 Dccome the 
neareit way to a better. But the pre- 
tence whiek lord Bute would not turmib, 
retulced from a concurrence of publick 
EVENTS. ; 

The court of Veifailles knowing that 
though we were vidlorious abroad, we 
were exhaufted at home, and though our 
credit was good we could rasfe no mo- 
ney but by ruinous and exorbitant pre- 
miums, and being herf-lf able to raie 
her tupples within th: year, by applying 
the stereft of her debts to the public 
fervice, u.fitted upon terms in the

there’ are limits beyond. which a bead

If a worm be divided into three parts, 
the middie pirt will produce both a head

head be not very large; the head ap- 
pears fiult, und thn the tail.

trouled only by the fuprome legiflauve

incapacity of members of parliament, 
he fays, the houte has it times clanned

occafion, howeve:, it is contended, 
that the howe bive a power of pom:th-

that he wis ready to impeach three per- 
fons, two of whom are peers and mem- 
bers of the privy-council, the 

that perfonage on whom the govern- 
ment of te kingdom may, by the re- 
gency act, devolve, of felling the 
prace.—That the Chevalier had the ne- 
gotiations on the part of the enemy, 
and was known to have in his polfe(- 
fon the difpatches and papers of the 
Duke de Nivernois.— That a mo.e de- 
citive evidence than the Chevalier D"Eon 
woul not be withed for.—That over- 
tures had been riade to him for felling 
the papers that were in-his hands.— 
And that Lord Halifax hai put an end 
to Mufgrave's folticitations, by a pe- 
remptay refufal to take any fteps what 
ever in the affair. ” 

‘The falfehood of the above.affertions 
were well known to thofe who had inte- 
refted the:nfelves in’ the enquiry, foon 
after the Door had given his informa- 
tiom ‘to the Secretary of State, and the 
project was relinguithed as utterly inde- 
fenfible ; but now, at the diftance of 
Four years, it is refumed, and laid up- 
on another ground. 

‘In purfuit of this purpofe, D'Kon, 
who had already twice contradi&éd in 
the public papers the above relations, 
and had fre-yuently declared the contra- 













courfe. sty be‘aid im 


Ais letter, that he ia. infpired- with 
+e fentiments of the jultc venefation 


_ ' for the Englifh commiffioners-who 


«had been employed in. the: pence 5 
ce and that Englead rather gavemoney 
“© to France, than France to Engtan 

to conclude that peace.” -Notwith- 


" ftanding this, on the moming Wetore 


the’ publication of his letter, he wffert- 
ed, that he had received, thyce expre(fes 
from three great perione ; and -thet he 
knew neither Sir George Yongé; nor 
Mr Fitzh-rbert. tomes 

In confequence of this written decla- 
ration, it was to be promulged,-that 
D'Eon had frequently related what 
Muigrave affeets,. and that he was-un- 
Acquainted with Vir Fitzherburt 5 which 
was to be difproved. By theie means 
a total difbelicf was to be spread’ over 
all the Chevalier hath written or may 
write, and an implicit faith imparted 
to all that he has rated ; and thes the 
people are to b: perfuaded, that D’Eon 
had either purposly concealed, er fold 
hus papers to the perions accufed ;~“and 
that Mufgrave's whole narrative was 
unfpotted truth. 

‘This. absolute ignorance of exch o- 
ther was to create the perfuafion, that 
Mufgrave was totally’ unucquaiited 
with that which would be the anfwer of 
D'Eon ; otberwife the former muft-in- 
cur toe imputation of ratinefs or ini- 
quity in publithing his addrefs, and ac- 
cufing thofe again whom he declares 
he is unable to fupport a charge of cor- 
ruption. By theie means the talk of 
proving his, affertions is thifted on 

"Eon: and D'Eon, by denying them 
to be true, is to he ippofed a man cor- 
rupted : thus Mulgrave, deferted by 
D'Eon, ja to be exculpated in not prov 
ing what he declares; and the peo 
-prosiaim him a patriot, and admire his 
refalution in defence of his country.

By thefe means the charge’ o! 
treaton was to defcend on the mote of 
his majefly, and two peers of the'rea’m, 
who are abfolutely unconfoisits ‘of the 
imputed crime ; and the evid-nce, which 
was to eftablith the belief of their guil- 
tinels, ws to be engendered frim the

He haevery abruptly di {placed divers gen-

ry where vicurieus ; and the Turks have aban 
doned Chockzim. The aflentatous acdounts 
publithed at Conftantinople to gpypeafe the pen- 
ple, have bees followed by complaints ayaintt 
the Vizier, which, aggravaied hy bis cne:nics, 
have accomp ifhed his ruin. Negied ef duey, 
want of milizary aki], and even want of cou- 
tage, were among the cries with which he 
was chargod, The Grand Signior, with.o.c 
hearing his juttiication, deprived bun of ail his 


dignitics, and appoluted 4 more enterprizing ~

he arrived at the Purkith camp, called the Vi- 
zier before him, and havirg -fignified his own

tent with fanerceding his commifien, intautly 
put anendto his life. Having thus fignalized 
his exaliation by an act of brutal fevernty upon 
his predeceffor. he fecmed nu lefs impacient of 
revenge againit the enemy. With chi, view he 
caused 4 bridg: of boars to be fucdenly tincwa 
ovet the Neier, aud.in the night between the 
fe.ond and third of September,’ at the kead of a 
few cholen treo,s, he crof 4 thet river ; leaving 
orders with his yencrals to follsw wich the army 
as faft as poible. Having guined the oppofite 
fhore withe-ut oppefition, he found uimfelf pref- 
fed on all tides hy a Superior force ; and a fud 
den flood having fwelled the Netter, fo As to 
prevent the palixge of the troops to his relief, 
he behe'd with crief his enterprize ucfeated, 
and fawno hope. left but in a precipitate retreat. 
The bridve of boats on which he had crofed had 
been disuriered by the flood, the confufion of a 
Aying acmy increafed that diford2r, and ft was

followers to pe:ifi by the enemy. In chis at- 
tempt the lofs of che Turks is varloufly report. 
ed; it could not be confiderable, as nt adove 
Bono men had been able to pats. ; 

This check, which the general afesibed to 
chance, ferved only to inereafe hes Impaliwure

three brilres, uader cover cf bettertes ereeted 

for that purpefe, to be threwn ovel the iver,

to receivethem, The atrack began about fesen 
in the moiming, and lated dt naw y. The Turks, 
contrary to their ufual cuftom, e:ntinued to 
fight with great chftinicy ; buc when ence tro- 
ken their retreat is precipiatce: [t was howe- 
vér retarded by the difficulty of repaffing the 
river, in which many of them perithed. In 
this engagement the Ruiiiens tuvk fome ftand- 


ards, colours, and horfe-rails. The numb 
of prifontrs was not greacy but the killed a: 
wounded anounted (o near 1¢,cco men. 

Upon the yews of thig defeat, the Panic ¢

cla'med avainft their few Vizier, who h 
fince lett the army ; and exprefied their indi,

to poifon their refpective partners, 
apd their Feather, and hee atawe to 
gaake way for an incettuous and bloody 
paarriage, which barbarous defign they 
as barbaroufly put in execution. 

The marriages of the kings Clotaire 
and Caribert were not condemned as 
contrary tothe drvine or natural law, but 
as unduly celebrated for want of the 
Pope's difpenfation, on which account 
they were null by the ecclefnftical ca- 
pons. Befides, they were both of them 
contracted during the lives of the firft 
wives, which was Polygamy. The 

epts of the Levitical, or written law, 
Fave een abolithed by the eftablifhment 
of chriftianity, and are-of no further 
obligation ; not to obferve, that even by 
the Jewith law, a man’s marriage with 
two fitters fucceffively, was never for- 
bidden, but that of a woman's having 
two brothers, there being much more 
reafon for the one than the other.

This is the dostrine of St The-nas, 
ef St Antonin, of Cajetan, of Beilar

anthor agrees that the prohibition (be-

very ufeful, free from fuperftition and 
enthufiafin, and appears in the very 
beauty of holinefs. 

dours, &c. CLERICUS, 

Mr Urpan, 

IVE me lccvs:, by means of your 

J Magazine, to correét an error in 
Mr Ruffh:ad's Lite of Pope, where the 
biographer tells us, that the late Mr Al- 
fen took John Searle and his family in‘o 
his protection : the only favour that Mr 
Allen ever conferred on Mr Searle, or 
his family,was, that he gave him the fum 
of rool. and ftood proxy for his fon. 
This account I rece1ved trom Mr Sa- 
mut! Scot, nephew to Searle's wife, whe 
lives at Newport in Shropfhire, as doth 
Mrs Seaile. Mr Bowman, in his Re- 
view of the Doétrines of the Relorma- 
tion, hath revived the exploded calumny 
of the bifhops and clergy, in the time of 
James the firlt, endeavcuring to introsuce 
Popery into Englend, which he fupports 
by a quotation from Neale, who, 1n his 
Hittory of the Puritans, Vol. IT. p. 148. 
tells us, that Gondamar, the Spanifh am- 
baflador, wiit to Spain, that there never 
were more hoyes of England's conver- 
fion, for there are more prayers, fays he, 
offere! to the Mother, than tu the Son 
ef God. Gondsmar, in this ‘e'ter, in- 
tended only to rivicule the bale fe: vuity 
of the courtiers, who paid more adilrcfles 
to the counteis of Buckingham to obtain 
her intereft with the duke her fon, then 

ime minifter, than they did to the duke 

imfelf. Neale, indeed, fa'fel: and ma- 
licioufly added thefe two words, viz. of 
God, after Son. This is the who'e 
foundation of this ridiculous tale. By 
trufting to the account in Jacoh’s peer- 
age, I fixed the death of John Earl of 
Cork to a wrong day : it fhould be No- 
vember 16th, 1762. ‘The authors of 
that peerage tell us, that Richard Boyle, 
late earl of Burlington, died December 
qd, 1750; it fhould be December 4th, 


175}. 

é: 486, they fay, that Roger, fifth fon 
of Richard Boyle, firft earl of Cork, was 
ereated lord Broghill and ear] of Orresy 


by Charies I, whereas he was only cre2- 
ted lord Braghiil by Cherics 1. Febru iry 
28, 1628, and earl of Onrery Sepr. s, 
1660, as they themtelves fay, p. 46¢4- 
An inftance of the like neyireene ap: 
pears in Guthete’s Scotch iintery, Wer. 
X: p..339, where he favs, that the que.n 
of France, conlort of Lelvis iV. was 
alive at the death ofJames II.-f Ung) nd, 
whereas that princefs really aie. in 10835 
before James afcended the thn:ne of En- 
gian'!. In your Auguit Magazine, the 
late Jord Audley is named James, his 
true name was John ; the news-writers 
fay, that by his death the earidom of 
Cailelavin became extirét, and the ba- 
rony of Auciey difcended to his ne- 
phew Geoige TVhicknets, Efq,; but this 
acccunt is erroneous, for James, tenth 
lord Audley, and third eal of C: fle- 
haven, obtained an a& of parliament in 
1678, torcftere the titles forfeited by his 
father (who was beheaded May ra, 
1631) to himfelf, and the heirs male of 
his body, and, in default thereof to Mer« 
vin his next brother, and for want of 
iffue by him, to his fitters and their heirs. 
Mervin, hia brother, eleventh lord, was 
dire&t aneeftor to the late lord and his 
fitter, mother of the prefent lord.

tion has teen cbferved in treating on th

The peneral theery of the operstion 
of commerce could rot have a piace 
either in commercial geography, becauf 
it tclates to no fate in particular, or it 
tae vee ibulary of the objeéts and mate 
rials ef comm ree, with which it has me 
relation ; the author has therefore unit 
ed it with the theory of commerce in 
gencral, in order to form the third par 
of his work. 

For the exccution of this work, a ver: 
Jar;e colleCtion is already made fron 
travillers, geographers, works of nata 
ral philofophy and the arts, beoks relat 
ing to juiiprudence, the thory an 
practice of commerce, and Jafily, tract: 
on political economy in gencral, Ther 
are alfo colle&ed and extracted mon 
than yoo MS memoirs that have beer 
larcly communicated, and among then 
the pap rs of the late M. Gournay, in 
tendant of commerce, with whom th 
author had the happinefs to be acquainted 

But though the fources from whence 
he has vrawn, are, as has been thewn 
very cop ous, he begs feave to intrea 
fica pericns as are cipable of affidtins 
him Ly the'r knuwledge and advice, ei 
ther in France, or in fureign countries 
to cotrbute towards rendering thi 
werk {1} more compleat and exa& by 
their communications. In particular 
he cddefles him{cif to the king’s mi 
nift-rs n foruign courts, to the corful 
in the J veral conancici.l cries of Eu 
ree, to the chambers cf commerce, th 
intiacturs Cf manufsdtures, and efpe 
eiliy to merchants as weil French a

before we conclude, ict us anticipat 
an objcétion that may be made, ar 
cught not to be left unanfwercd. Shoul 
it be apprehended that the author, no

Wir Harley fait, fince thete was fo 
‘maoch doubt and difficulty, it would be 
proper to pottpone their’ decifon, and 
take the ‘opinion of council on the re- 
turn of Mefirs Beckford and Trecothick. 

‘Mi Townfend objeéted to Mr Har- 
Aey’s p 1, and gave fome ftron 
legal objections to it. He obferved, 
that the opinion of counfel had been 
taken very lately by the Aldermen, on 
the retarn of Mr Wilkes; that one of 
the -gebtlemen,* Sir Fletcher Norton, 
kniget, “had, with his ufual fagacity and 
wifdom, writtun his opinion in fuch a 
‘ , that no one but himfelf could 
read it, and he might hereafter declare 
his opinion to be whatever he pleated ; 
that the other opinions were, tocether 
“with Sir Fletcher's, fealed up carefully 
from the knowledge of the public, and 


moft probably would remain fo, till the- 


gentleman who moved for thofe opini- 
onus was forgotten. 

_ ¥t was then determined to receive the 
‘fheriffs return, and the Aldermen pro- 
eveded to their choice. 

- Mr Beckford pleaded his age and in- 
firmities, and wifhied, ae he had before 
- amtreated them, that they had cholen 
Mr Trecothick, at the fame time de- 
claring that he muft decline it. 
_ , Sir Robert Ladbroke then propofed, 

that fince Mr Beckford had declined, 
the theriffs fhould go hack to the com- 
mon-hail, and pruceed to a new ele&i- 
on, Sir Robert's propofal was foon 
over-ruled. He then propofed to ad- 
journ the common hall, in which he 
was feconded by Mr Recardcr, who in- 
fifted that it was very lecal to proceed 
toa new ele&tion on fuch adjournment. 
The theriffs refufed to agree to this, be- 
éanfé no new nomination could be made 
under the old precept, nor any freth 
poll taken, becaufe the ac of pariia- 
ment has expreflly direG@ed, that where- 
ever a poll is demande, the fame Mhall 
be compleaied within the face of Teven

a long interval of fhouting and clep- 
ping, be added, that Nir Beciitord kad 
refused to feive the office of Lord Ma- 
yor for the year esfuing. This was 
received by the livery with every mark 
of difcontent. ; 
Mr Beckfoid came forward, acknov- 


: ledged that his age and infirmities made 


him incapable tu ferve that high office 5 
that he had indeed declined it, but nor 
inthe terms which Mr Recorder had 
ufed. Mr Recorder, in the muft appa- 
rently violent agitation, jumped from: 
his teat, applied to the Lord Mayor, 
ty Mr Harley, and then to Mr Beck- 
ford, producing a paper fo Ars nofe, 
which Mr Be.kford read. Mr Beck- 
ford taid he thouid be very carcful how 
he imputed a mutake to any nan, ei 
pecialiy tothe avarrhy Recorder. He. 
acknowledged that tie paver contained 
tnc purport,*ot wast he had declared: 
to the couit of Aldermen; but that the 
parcular eniphans and aceent with 
which fome pa.t of it was read by the 
Recorder, made it appear to him dif. 
ferent. 

My Beckford then drew a compari- 
fon berween he bve-iaws and the ft.-

monifers to relent, and forgive the ob-

termined to try all that hu nan nature

it poflible that you could be the author of

remaining, give him moft ample venge-

which you are fo graced will ever wath 
out, or even pilliate this foul blot in your 
character. I bave not time ac prefent to 
diffe& your letter fo minutely as I

to fay, that it is (as to reafon and argu- 
ment) the moft extraordinary piece of 
forid impotence that was ever impofd 
upon the eyes and ears of the too cre- 
Gulous and duluded. It accules the 
Duke of —— of high treafon. Upon 
what foundation? You tell us ‘* thit

éxecution of their duty, may perhaps be 
atoned fer by fome private compen-

wound, which has been given to the 
law iticif, to which nu remedy has been 
appiicd, no satisfaction made. Neither 
iait my deign to dwell upon the mif- 
conduct of the parties concerned, any 
farther than is neceilary to fhew the be- 
haviour of the minittry in its true light. 
I would make cvery comp:ffionate al- 
lowance for the infatuation of the pri- 
foner, the falle and criminal difcretion 
of one olhver, and the madnels of ano- 
ther. I would leave the ignorant fol- 
diers entizcly out of the queftion. They 
are ce: tainly the leaft guilty, though the 

@re the only perions who have yet fof.

nifhment. The fact itfelf, however 
atrocious, is not the principal point to 
be confidered. ft might have happened 
‘ender a more regular yovernment, and 
with gacrds better diftiplinel then curs. 
The main queftion is, in what manner 
have the nuniitry aéted on this extraor- 
dinary occafion? A general officer calls 
upon the king’s own guard, then actnally 
on duty, torefcue him from the Jaws 
of his country; yet at this moment he 
is ina fituation no worfe than if he had 
not conunitted au offence, equally e:or- 
mous in 2 eivil and military view. A 
heutenant upon duty defigndly quits 
his guard, and fuffers it to be draven out

this gentleman been called to a couit- ~ 


martial, to aniwir for bis condu& ? No, 
Has it been cerfured? No. Has it 
been 39 any fhape mauired into? No. — 
Another Lieutenant, not upon duty, 
for even in his regimentals, is daring 
enangh tocrder out the king's guard, 
over which he had properly no com- 
mard, and engaces them in a viaiation 
of the laws of his country, perhaps the 
mof finguiar and extravarine that ever

All the fatts in your tedious narrative 
I have heard before ; and the only new -

is, that one of the officers engaged in 
this affair was not in regimentals. But -

éxecution of their duty, may perhaps be 
atoned for by fome private compen- 
faticn. J confider nothing but the 
wound, which has been given to the 
law iticif, to which no remedy has been 
applied, no fatisfaction made. Neither 
is it my defign to dwell upon the mif- 
conduét of the parties concerned, any 
farther than is neceflary to flew the be- 
haviour of the miniftry in its true light. 
I would make cvery comp:ffionate al- 
lowance for the infatuation of the pri- 
foner, the falle and criminal difcretion 
of one ofbcer, and te madoets of ano- 
ther. Fe would lave the ignorant fol- 
diers entizely out of the queftion. They 
are ce: tainly the leaft puilty, though the 
@re the only pertons who have yet ful 
fered, even in the appearance of pri- 
nithment. The fa&t itfelf, howcver 
atrocious, 18 not the principal point to 
ee confidercd. [t might have happened 
‘ender a more regular povernment, and 
with gucrds better difciplined then ours. 
The main quettion is, in what manner 
have the minittry aéted on this extraor- 
dinary occation? A general officer calls 
upon the king’s own guard, then actnally 
on duty, to refcue him from the laws 
of his country; yet at this moment he 
i8 in a fituation no worfe than if he had 
rot conunittil an offence, equally exor- 
mous in 2 ¢ivil and military view. A 
lieutenunt upon duty dehigncdly quits 
Mis guard, and fuffers it to be drawn out 
y another officcr, for a purpofe which 
he well Kaew (as we may collect trem 
an -appexrance cf caution which anly 
makes bis behaviour the more criminal) 
to be in the hisheft degree illegal. Has 


this gen:leman been called to a cout- ~ 


martial, to aniwir for bis condu& ? No, 
Has it been cerfuied? No. Has it 
been 39 any fhiape mquired into? No. — 
Another Lieutenant, not upon duty, 
nor even in his regimentals, is daring 
enavgh to order out the king's cuard, 
over which he had properly no com- 
mand, and engaves them in a Viaiation 
gf toe Jaws of his country, perhaps the 
mof tirgular and extravarane that ever 


was attempted.— What punifhinent bas” 


he faffercd ? Literally none. Suppof- 
ing hr fhould be profecuted at common

ftance,; from ‘Which the muniftry can de-

Jet it be obfirved that theie gexstlemug

it might perhaps be Judficiert to fend

their parents, judging highiy fom the 
maturity of their vices, had sonoved 
them too foon. In this caie, 1 am fore 
ry to fee, not fo much the folly of youth, 
as the {pirit of the corps, and the come 
nivance of government. I do not qiaf 
tion that there are many brave and ware 
thy officers in the 1egiments of guards. 
But confirlering them a» a coups, I fear 
it will be found that they arc ue:theg 
good foldiers nar good fubjcéts. Fag 
be it from me to .intinuate the moft dite 
tant reBcction upon tue army. On the 
contrary, I honour and eltecm the pre- 
f.Mion; and if thef gcnikmen were 
better foldiers, Lam fure tuey would be

to lead a deluded people. If you had 


known the conftitutioa, if you ferioufly 
meant it well, you never would have 
madc it a crime in the minifter that he 
did not do more; you mivht, with 
. fome zppear:nce, have blamed him for 
interpoling at all. 

Yet even then, his crime would have 

been a zeal, perhaps an officious zeal, 
to fecure criminals, who, by their low 
yank and fituation, mizht be naturally 
. fufpected of a defign to withdraw them- 
felves from jultice. But you fay this 
was only to {ave appearances; and your 
proof is, that the cfficers were not fecur- 
ed. Vhe ciicers were not fecured, be- 
caufe there was no fcar of their running 
away. They are til open to a prode- 
cuiion; and if the fpirit of the tim-s is 
fuch, th:t no indulgence can be given 
for an offence fo common, and generally 
coniidered as a venial onr, iet the ut- 
moft feverity cf the law be exeited a- 
gaint them; and I could wifi it were 
exerted againit many other greater of- 
fenders. 

Tt would, perhaps, be unjuft to accufe 
you of enforcing the enormity of the 
crime, from enmity to the criminals. I 
am criain it would be ridiculous to 
fuppolc you enforced it fiom icfpect to 
the laws. But a miniftir was to be 
wounded ; and provided this could be 
done, no matte: through whole fide the 
weapon ftruck. I do not dwell on the 
barbarity of attempiing to load the un- 
fortunate. You tell a generous nation, 
that the principal perfon concerned 1s 
in no wortle fituation than if he had not 
commitred the off:nce; but you take 
care to lead its attention from what his 
fituauion is. You dare not venture to 
expo‘e to the compaflion of a generous 
mation, a man of fome rank, ruined, 
and in prifon; and you prefent no ob- 
jects but fuch as are calculated to en- 
flime; when humanity fhould have 
prompted ycu to prefent the moft pro- 
per to extenuate. 

We know what the common law de- 
crees "in offences of this nature; and it 
requires not the help of Junius to exe- 
cute its decrees. But he fays the offen- 
ders fhould be punithed alfo by military 
Jaw. Perhaps, in rigour, they fhould: 
but are we only to liften to the voice of 
feverity ? And is Junius the mah who 
bids us fhut our ears to indulgence ? 
Where was his zeal for the law, when 
the peace of this capital was difturbed 
by a lawlefs mob? And why did not 
Junius arraign the conduct of a minifter, 


‘whole lenity overlooked the moft grofs

infult that ever was offered to order? 
When the K was, in a manner, be- 
feged in his palace, a compaffionate re- 
fpect for the delufion of a multitude, 
withheld that exertion of power which 
the Jaw authorized. Did Junius then 
ftand forth the champion of his outrag- 
ed S ni Ne, he dignified the infult 
with an honourab'e nae, and branded 








‘the moderation of goverunent with a 


name of infamy. But let two inconfi- 
derable officers, from inconfiderate re- 
gard to one of fuperior rank, afift him 
to efcape from a bailiff, and Junius is 
Immediately in arms. The conftitution 
1s already ruined, and private property 
1s Do longer fecure. What if the K— 
only delays that military punifhment, 
wich you are fo anxious to have inflidted, 
only to fecure tie creditors payment? 
If thefe peop’e are breke, the d.bt is 
loft. But were the K— and his mini- 
fters to act with the purity and the wif- 
dom of angels, ycur heait would find 
fomething amifs, and your paultry inte- 
reft of a day would compel you to utter

e fown with grin, the other /e- 
wenty inches arc cult-vated, not fo much 
for tha now ifhmenst of grain, as it fhould 
feem; as.for the vourithment of weeds, 
Which I found to encria eat fuch a rate, 
#hough I kept two men pretty con- 
yx employ cd in hoeing the partitions 
and weeding the rows of about feven 
ticres of drilled wheat from the berin- 
wig’ of March to the latter end of 
they were rot ab!c to fubdue them. 
time four horie-hoeings were be- 
‘ftSwed upon the interval... ‘The years 
‘gm Which the experiments were made, 
were tho’e of 3765, 1766, and 1767 ; 
rs, I muft acknowledge, favourabie 
for the produstion of wecds, and the 
culture that was bcilowed for the non- 
yifhment of the grain, contributed not 
a little to their p:op.gation. Inde 
with all the care the plowman could take, 
and I have no reafon to doubt of his hav- 


‘Um done his beft, a circumftance rot al- 


wr 
a 


ways tobe relicd upon, he could nct bring 
the plow fonecr the rows w.thout injur- 
img the plants, as not to leave a very con- 
fiderable part of thc intervals unweeded. 
This neccfarily encreuled the labour of 
hand-hoeing. Another incoavericnce 
was, thatio fplitting the ri.’ges, though 
I had a plow made on putpole, with a 
double mold-board, wh ch was drawn 
by two heries a-brealt, each walking in 
an oppofite furrow, he comd net guide 
it fo nicely, but that niyéh of the mod 
would fometimes cover the plants on 
one fide, and fcmetimes on tie otber ; 
éaving the furrows cn the oppofite fidcs

ences might have been reformed by ion- 
ger practic:, or whether they might ke 
owing to the imperfe&ion cf my inftru-

It was the deficiency of the crovs that 
‘chiefly difcouraged mre from perf:vering 


“jn the pra&tice; for after all th: labour, 


and though my wheat appeared large

duce, promifed in the account. .9f it 
fhould arife from it, I can eafliy conceive 
that the 3} quarters which I reaped, may 


-upon a future tial be augmented to 


more than double; nay, to the larreft 
quantity that ever grew upon an sere, 
which the ingenious author of the-¥ar-

I am, Sir, Yours, Gc. H. V. 


- P,S. Aa the f-sfon for fowing wheat

tion of this in your prefent menth’s 
Magazine, I couid with that ether gen- 
tlemen would make Ike experiments, 
as one, though ever fo accurate, will not 
be tufficient to eftsblith the faé. 

Atter writing the above, I thought 
of giving fon.e parts of Mr Tull’s book 
a fecond readinz, and I found that he 
himiclf tpeaks of cighty cais produced 
from a fingle plant of wheatin the gar- 
den of Mr Houghton, and adds that 
he never found above ferty inhis fields, 
which is admitting that foi ty were fume- 
times produced ; an increafe that might 
encourage any gentlemen to purfue the 
practice. So thit notwihitanding my 
ull fuccefs at the beginning, and my 
hafty conclufion, that from two inches 
fawn in 72, and left fallow, th re cou'd 
be no probable hope of a tolerable crop, 
yetl begin now to be of another opinion ; 
for there is reafon to bedieve, that the 
longer the horfe-hoeing hufbandry is 
continued, the more tertile the ground 
fo cultivated will graw, which 1s quite 
the conirary in the common hufbandry. 
I with fome of your correfpondents

Obfervations on the Manners and Arts 
of various Nattons in Africa and Afia. 

This is a tranflation of Les Voyages 
fun Philofophe, writtin by Monf. le 
Poivre, which have been much admired 
in France 5 they were originally rezd in 
the Royal Society of Agriculiure at Li- 
ons, in the yeais 1764 and 1755, and 
before the Royal Society of Paris in 
1766: they woese fome time handed a- 
boat in MS. and at length in 1768 they 
found their way to the prefs. They are 
divided into two p:rts. 

Tie author's principal objeé& 1s agri- 
culture ; and he very juitly obierves in 
his intioduction, that althocgh every 
people have arts peculiar to themfelves, 
though a diverfity of climate produces a 
diverfity of wants, and gives to that in- 
duftry by which they are fwpplied, a dif- 


‘ferent employment; yet agricuiture is 


common to every clinaate, the univerfal 
art of mankind, though not every where 
equally fouriibing.. The followseg ob- 
fervation is not lefs curious than putt. n

38. A Refutation of a falfe Afperfon 
fof thrown out _xpon Samuel Vaughan, 
Eiys in the Public Ledger of the 23d of 
Augut 1769, aud fnce that time induf- 
trioufy propagated with ap intent to in= 
jure him in the eye of the public. 

This pamphise as not the leaft relx- 
tion to the tranfsétion between Mr 
Vaughan 4nd the Duke of Grafton 
concerning a place for his fon, which 
has lately beenthe fubjeGt of nach wri- 
ting and converfation, but relates wholly 
to an information jn the Ledger, thet 
by the records of Spanith Town in Ja- 
maica it would appear that Mr Vaug - 
han's reputation was not unblemifhsd 
before his tranfaftion with the Duke of 
Grafton brought it into quettion. He 
fays-that he would nor fo toon, if at a'2, 
have taken notice of the flander, if a 
late refolution of the Supporters of the 
Bill of Rights had not revived the af- 
fair in various companics, and brought 

enfure upon him for not attempting a 
itification. He then proceeds to give 
an account of the incidents which he 
fays could alone have given pretence to 
the intinuation ; his account is on uath, 
and in fubftance as follows : 

Mr Vaughan in July 1749, having a 
promifary note, the rty of Mr 
Geo. Hay pryable +0 thd Pray from 
John Hutley, found ir neceffa:y to put 
the note in tuit againit Huffey on Ray's 
behalf, and ty delivered it te 
Jones an attorney 

Jones fucd Huffy on the note, and 
recovered the moncy, s8l. 15s. with 
cofte, but delayed on various pretences 
to pay it to Vaughan for May's ufe; at 
length, however, he biought kim an or~ 
der drawn in his favour by Capt. Smith 
upon Mr Vaughan and company, he 
being then in pattuerfhip, for 361. ‘This 
money was due as the ballance of an 
account, from Vaughan an} company 
to Capt. Smith, and when Mr Vavzh: 
had received an order to pay it to Jones, 
it became a payment of patt of the <1. 
158. due frem Jones to Mr Vaughan on 
account of Mr Hay's note; Mr Vaug- 
han, however, did not give Mr I 
credit for it in his partueifhip books, for 
which he gre wo reafons, the partner 
thip was then cxyived, and Qos TRE 












































. he make. any erttry 6€ 5 
* the difc is own private boaks, 
Decaufe neither in them was any account ° 
open for'Smith or fox. Jones. He did 
bomevor, credit his owa account in ihe 
Bemenitip. books, with the pailgnce of. . 
mith’s account paid to Jones, and he 
intended, he fays, to credit Capt. Hay's 
account with whole amount of the. 
note, when it fhould be received in ong 
article: if 
About a year after this trenfaétion, 
Jones not ‘having paid the reff of the 
méney, Mr Vaughan in order to fae him, 
made an, affidavit’ that frid Jones had 
reecivad yeu due on Hay’s note 58). + 
id no part thereof 10 bine 
al “igonent baten the very this 
afidavit wae filed, Mr Vaughin look- 
ing ovér a receipt whieh Jones hrd giyen 
him for papers, fay the fua in figures, 
thee hed been pald in port of the note 
whieh revived he trai! in his mind, ° 
and he immediately applied to amend . 
the affidavit ; the court convinced that 
the falfehood in-the affidavit was an er- 
ror, “and had no fraudulcnt intention, 
erdered it to be taben off the file and 
deftioyed.

dédication té6 Mr Alderman Beckford, . 


tife reader may be led to fuppofe it 2 


olitical performiance ; he will, however, - 


find him(elf miftaken ; it has not even 
the moft remote relation to any popular 
diffention in Great Britain, or its caufe, 
whether groundlefe or juft. 
truth a chaos of abfurd inconfiftency, 
unnatural characters, improbable inci- 
dents, forced metaphor, and falfe gram- 

mar. 

The fcene is Sicily, in and near Sy- 
racufe, and the drama begins with the 
following fpeech of Epicharnus to Le- 
ontine : 

“© Yes, Leontine, to live is to be free t 
Men's freedom gone, their pow'rs and god- 

like aims 

Like rivers bound inicy fetters, lofe 
All utility, proud mas enflav’d 
Is but a dare cxiffence ; fisars, form, 
Are all the marks that indicate his nature, 
All-gloricus libercy makes Gads of men; 
That jewel wife men prize as life ifelf; 
Nay, 2s the neble privilege of Gods.” 

By this paffage it appears, that there 
are no fuch beings as men in the uni- 
verfe ; but inftead of them, what this 
author calls bare exiflences and Gods. 
Want of liberty produces your bare 
exifience, the poffeflion of liberty your 
Gods, and all beings who were formeny 
deemed men, either want liberty, or 
have it. We find too that the bare ex- 
iftence has not only form, but figure, 
though to common minds this may be 
a diftinétion without a difference. 

Leontine, in anfwer to Epicharnus 
thus defcribes the wretched fituation of 
his country. 

86 Fach rifing morn is big with mighty 

mifchief, 
Defru@ion, flaughter, and a thoufand ils, 
The tyrant’s ravages, gnd ftern decrees, 
Tis vile fufpicion, and inhuman rage, 
Have almoft ruined wretched Sicily ; 
Our tongues are rot curcwe; for e’er the air 
Has from our lips beguil'd our honeft meaning 
Our lives are forfeit, our eftates, our all, 
And liberty, that darling ef eur ifle, 
Has quite forfaker our unhappy fhore ; 
Now under J’izars patrons meet cheir flaves, 
Ful! mouth’d with raillery, and Ace 29. ows {coffs 
Starcfmen nor prince efcapet— 
e—And thas our country groans 
Beneath oppreffion and tes thoujand iis.” 
Thusare the ills of Sicilly, like Shake- 
fpeare’s men in Buckram, encreafed ten- 

id in about ten jines; they are a thou- 
fand in the firft, and in the laft th y are 
ten thoufand. 

It is alfo fomething remarkable, that 
licencioufue/s fhould remain when d:ber 
was gone; that liberty fhould not exiff 

and exif in exceft; that the tongues of 


It isin 





(§0Y. 
the people fhould not be sbeir exva, and ! 
yet thac flaves thould Ledatioufly {coff, ' 
notonly at theirmattere, bit theirprixceg ' 
and that the country fhould at once be | 
undone by the tyranny of this prince "’ 
and by the popular cenfures of his con- , 
uct. a 
The prince, indeed, appears to be g 
very jingular being, het both fumbers. 
and is furious, he wants both to be roufed - 
aud quieted. Dion, fays one of the . 
dramatie charagters, _ 
‘* Dion, a patriot, noble, wife, and good, 
Perchance may reufe the tyrant from bit fgm- » 


bers, 


. He'd up the mirreur of his matchiefs fury, 


And forte him to dete fuch cruel fwey.” 
The cruel {way which this tyrant ex- 
ercifed in a furious umber, we may well 
fuppofe he would deteft upon being rou/- 
ed; and accordingly he is foon 
fented as the beft dilpofed creature alive. 
When honeft Dion is about to give 
him good advice, he flops thort—s* pery 
haps, fays he, I have already faid toe 
much.” Dionyfius replies, _ 
** No; we will patiently abide re- 
proof.”"—thusencouraged Dion proceed 


** Gur laws, our libertics, our gloriousrights, 


_ “ Are bafely trampled on by lawlefy pow'r; 


“ Thy ngid reign forego— 


““ Be érave, be bold, be valoxroxs, and t 

€ But not be bloody —let thy laws “_ 

“* Be what they ought to be-=the guards ef 
** freedom,” 

This tyrant feems rather to want mer- 
ey than courage, yet he is here thrice 
admoniflicd to be bold; be bold, fays 
Diva, be bold, and be bold, for what 
difference is there between being bod and 
brave, or brave and valourous ? Suck 
aivice, however, as is given he takes in 
good part ; Dion, fays he, 

¢ thy words enchant me, and I fect 
A fecret joy unknown to me here ; 

Thou art my friend thy rule thall be my guide 
And by thy actions 1 wi-I fquare my own.” 

It might reafonably be fuppofed that 
fo hopeful a difpofition in the prince, 
would have produced at leaft zood-will 
in the patriet; the author, however, has 
thought fit to order otherwife, though 
Dionyiius has done nothing to impeach 
the fincerity of thele profeflions, Dion 
commands his fon Hiparnus to break 4 
tender connection which he had formed 
with Eudocia, merely becaufe Eudocia 
was Dionyfus's daughter, and threatens 
ro renounce him if he difobeys—hear

the Angina Malign1, or the putrid and 
ulcerous fore throat, prevailed in this

And here being in fome degree re-

mentiun, that althouzh matt of the

scale, as well as the fullneis of the pulls 
ap, eared to pointe out the nec flity of

fhould thereby have enereafed the pro-

For although the bioud, which has been

unvcracath to be Lroken, luafe and di-

624 Particulars of the Life of the late Mr Neal... >... 


HE Rey, Daniel Neal, M.A. was 
. 4» born in the city of London, Dec. 
24,'1678. Hes parents died whellt he 
avaevery yourg, and left him, their only 
ferviving child, in the hands of an uncle 
-on the moth=1"s Ede, whofe care of his 
‘dreatth antl his education he often men- 
* tone with g-atnude. ° 

At feven or eight years’ old be wns 
fent:to Merchant Luylors [chco', where 

‘she continued ten m eleven years, and 
- antif he arrived at the head of the fchoel. 
About the-ycar 1696, ors5g97, he went 
to Mir Rowe's academy, where he con- 
tinued ll the larrer end of the year 
869, or: beginning cf the year 1700, 
/ at which tm. he went to Holland and 
sentcred on a-courf of fudies; firtt, at 
Utrecht for two years, and afterwards 
“fpent a year at Leyden, where he fiuith- 
ed hie ftudies.- - . 
Abeut the middie, or latter end of 
2703, be reta tied to England, and foon 
‘after entered on the work of the mi- 
nitry. 
In the year 1724, he was chofe affift- 
‘ant to the Rev. Dr ‘Singieton, in that 
-whurch of which he was, an the Doétor's 
death, in the yerr 1706, chofen paftor, 
dn which relation he continued till about 
five months before his own diceale, 

At the time he was chofen paitor, the 
ehurch was but fmall as to numbers, 
“though thre were feveral perfons be- 
donyimg to it of copfiderable fortunes 
mand churaéter. 

Inthe year r719 he publithed his Hif- 
tory of New England, foon after which, 
in the y:ar 1729, the univerity there 

‘conferred on him the degree of Niatter 
of Arts, which is the higheft degice (I 
think) that univertity has a power of 
conferring. 

In the vear 1722, he having publithed 
fome accounts of the fuccels of inocu- 
-}-gon in New Fnptand, and prefixed a 
fort hift.ry of that practice tp thofe 
accounts, her lat» majefty Queen-Caro- 
hine (then Princets of Wales) fent for 
him -to wait on her, mm ortler that the 
might reccive fome further fatexfadt on 
from him concerning the prattice of 
Jnocukiton: He was introduced to the 
conference by .a phyiician of the royal 
family, and recewed by the Princefé in 
her clofet, whom he found reading the 
book of Martyrs her Royal Highnefs 
did: him the honour of entering into a 
free converiation with him for near an 
hour on the (ubjeé&t of Inoculation, and 
afterwaria on other fubjeRs, particular- 
Jy-in rezand to the ftate of the diffentin 
pteret in England, and e€ ttate of re- 


ligion in. New England, and niger feme 
Ome, his late majedty (ther Peimes ef 


Wales) came ir the woom, sadeoe- 


defcended to bear a part in the conver- 


fation, and to continue his prefence a- 


-bove a quarter cf an hour, ard fre dead 
ahe'honour of kifling both their .majef- 
ties hands, 

Seon after this, Dr Calamy having 
publithed an account of noncenforsnity 
which principa:ly retm Ged that. per 
of time that ‘uccecded che aét of wmi- 
formity in the year 2662, the -Iate Dr 
Evans undertook to write @ ‘bitthty of 
nonconformi-y trom the time af the re- 
‘formation. il the veur 1640, shen the 
civil wars began, and Mr Neal, at the 
requelt of foycral minifters, ard other 
perfons of conideiable tigure in she. def- 
fenting in-evelt, was pievaiied mn.:to 
take up the hifovy at the y-ar 9640, and 
carry it onto the :aét of unit.mnity ; and 
he engaged in that work with fe-mueh 
4pplication end fpirit, that te -hadt-4- 
aifhet his calle@ions, and put them in 
order fur thez-refs fome conideralde.time 
ibefore Dr Evans's death. Bue the doc- 
tor’s.many e: gagements and interropH- 
ons Ay ill health and otherways, .teawerg, 
prevented this making any contidevabie 

rogrefs sn hie branch of the defign, 
Mr Neal found it neceffary, on the dot. 
Yor’s death, wh ch happened in 1730, 40

hutory from the. retosmation, ‘to the 
breakmg put of the civil wave, that des 
own collections might he publifhed with 
mere acccptunce thin be app: chended 
they would have heen if the dodor’s 
province had been cntireiv negiosted. 

So gieat an un‘eriaking ceutd not 
be executed without more eppheation 
than was proper fur aim n jo far ad- 
vanced in Tite! whole health abn bezen

the pleafure he had iu the profpe& of 
firviny the ciufe of religious -isberty, 
carried him through it with amazing 
alacrity, ‘infomuch, that within the Jpace 
of two years aft: r the doétor’s death, he 
had prepared the great. it part of -che

gave way, and prefented to view a little 
mye, nicely pladtered about with fuc-

riches, opened the box, which only con. 
tained a book, covered with copper, and 
sivetted together by finall rivets, which 
they were obliged to file off, in order 
te open the book; it was found to be 
written in the ycar 491, which was

rongly attached to that {yBem. gf 
laws which your map fty’s anceftors were 
called to prote&t. By thefe laws weare 
taught, that it is the ondoubred righp of

We refpec, as we ought, the autho-

their ju privileges. will ever be dear te

with an autbority to fupericde the choice 
of the eleSlora, or to create by .a vos, 
an incapacity unknown to the law.. 1€ 
this were the privilege of the Houle of 
Commons, it would foun render that 
Houle a body, chofen hy its own inemm- 
bers, and not the seprefcatstives of the 
people. Itis, th rcfore, with unfpeake 
able concern, that we arc obliged to re-

528. Cerieus Account of the late Eruption at Vetuvius. 


making my obfervations upoa the lava

2 vinient noife within the mountain, and 
ata aboot a quarter of a mile off 
fronr the place where J ftoad, the moun- 
tain fplit; and with much noile, frem 
this new mouth, a fountain of liquid 
fire fhot.up: many feet high, and then,

thick upan us; in an inftant, clouds of 
black frmoke.and afhes caufed almeft a. 
total darkne(s; the explefions from the 
top of the mountain were much louder 
than aay thunder I ever heard, and the 
fell of the fidphur was very offentve;, 
My guide, alarmed, toak tu his heels, 
I mufi confefs, thaa I was. not ac 
my cafe. 1} followed: clofe, and we 1an 
near three miles withaut ftopping ; as. 
the earth continued to fhake under our 
feet, I was nfive of the opening 
@f a frefh mouth, which might have cut 
off our retseat. I alfo feared that the 
violent explofions would detach tome of 
the recks aff the mountain of Somma, 
under which we were obliged to pafs; 
befides, the pamice ftoncs tailing upon 
us like hail, were of fuch a fize, as to 
cau@ya dilagrecable fenfation upon the 
part where they fell. After having ta- 
ken breath, as the earth orembled great- 
ly, I thought it moft prudent to leave 
the meuntain, and return to my villa, 
where my houfe was fhaken to its very 
foundation, the doors and windows 
{winging as upon their hinges. About 
two int e afernoon another lava iffued 
from the famc tpot from whence the 
lava came the laft year, fo that the con- 
flagration was foon as great on this 
fide the mountain, as on the other 
which I had juit left. 
Removing from our Villa to Naples, 
I thought proper, as I paiied by Porti- 
ci, toinf'rm the cowt of what I had 
feen; and humbly offered it as my opi- 
nion, that his Scicilian majefty thould 
Jeave the neighbourhood of the threat- 
ening mountain; however, the court 
did not leave Portici till about twelve 
o'clock, when the lava had advanced 
near the palace. I obferved in my way 
te Naple-, which was lefs than two 
hours after I had left the mountain, 
that the lava had actually covered three 
miles of the very road through which 
we had retreated. It is aftonithing it 
Mould hzve -an fo faft; as I have hnce 
feen, that the river of lava, in the Atrio 
di Cavallo, was fixty or feventy feet. 


deep,.and in fome places near two mies 
broad. 


" When the king quitted Portici, the 
noife was greatiy inciearcd, and the 
confubon of the air trom the explofuns 
fe violent, that in the king's palace the 
doors au witalews wire forced open, 
even one- door which was locked. At 
Naples that night, many duos and wis- 
dows flew open. Ie my houle, wick 
is not on the fide of the town next Ve- 
fuvius, I tried the experknent of. un- 
bolting my windows, and they flew wide 
open upon every euplofion of the moun- 
tain. Befides thefe, there wis a conc: 
nual fubterraneous and violent rumbli 
noife, which lafted this night about five 
hours. 

The confufion at Naples this night 
cannot be aefcribed ; all the churches 
wer. opened and filled, and the ftreets 
thronged with ffions of faints, to 
quell th- fary of the turbulent mountiin. 

Tuefday.aoth, fmoke and afhes cover- 
ed Vefuvius entirely, and averipread 
Naples elfoy the {tin appearing as thicuzh 
a fmoak’d glafs, or thick fes. The 
lavas on both fides the mountains ran 
vielentlys but little or no noife tlk 
about nike at night, when rhe rumbiing 
began again, accompanied with explo- 
fions as befure, lafting about four hours}; 
it feemed as if the mountain would {plit 
in pieces, and indeed it opened a vaft 
way thts night. During the confufen,. 
the prifoners in the public jail endea- 
voured to make their efcape, but were 
prevented hy the troops. The mob al- 
fo fet hre to the Cantinal Archbifhop's 
pate, hecaule he refufed to bring out 
the relicks of St Januarius. 

Wednefitay 21ft was quiit:r, thouch 
the lavas ran brifliy ; towards asghe 
they fackened. 

Thurfday 2ad, about ten in the morn. 
ing, the thundering noife began agaiw 
with more violence than befure ; every 
moment iome dire calamity was expe@. 
ed. Smill cinders fhower:d down fe 
faft, that folks were forced to ule um- 
brellas, ur flap their hat-. Houles and 
balconies were covered above an inch. 
thick with them; as allo the decks of: 
hips at fea above 20 Icagues off. The 
mob growing tumn'tuous and imp.::tient, 
obligtd the cardinal to biing out the. 
head of St Januarius, and go with it. 
in preceflion, towards Vetuvius ; whofe 
eruption, a» it is here attefted, ceafeck

Saturday 24th, The lava ceafed run- 
ning. From where I faw 
out to its extremity, which furiounded 
the chapel of St Vito, is above Gx miles, 
and in fome i 











laces ‘tis near two miles 
broad, in moft fixty or feventy feet deep, 
and in one place, called Foffa grande, 
200 feet » and 100 broad. This 
day ftones were ftill thrown up. 

Sunday zgth, Small aihes fell all day 
at Naples, which formed a vat columa 
above the crater of the volcano ; con- 
tinual lathes of forked or zig-zag light- 
ning thot from it, Lut no thunder was 
heard at Naples. 

Monday 26th, ‘The fmoak continued, 
but not fo thick, neither were there any 
flathes of the mountiin lightning. As 
no lava has apoeared after this column 
of black finoak, which muft have been 
occafioned by fome inward operation of 
fire; I am apt to think that the lava, 
which fhould naturally have followed 
this fymptom, hus broke its way into 
fome deeper cavern, where it is filentiy 
brooding future mifchicf: and I thal 
be much mittaken if it does not break 
out a few months hence. 

N.B. The Plate exbibits views of 
the gradual increafe of the little moxn-

the prefent flape of Mount Vefuvius.

ly Lord, 
THE facility with which you aban- 
doned your eailiet conneétions in 
friendthip and politics, was, I doubt 
not, a leading recommendation to efta- 
blith your credit at $* James's. A gra- 
cious diicerning prince, who, even at 
the moment of his acc flion, had forti- 
tude enough to get the better of ¢ 
p-edilest.on which he might be foppa 
ed to have inherited from his anceftors 
in favour of the friends of the Houfe 
of H. , muft have obferved with 
pleafure, that your Grace was equally 
ready to defert the friends who contri- 
buted moft to your advancement, and 
to adopt new principles of government. 
I will not complain of a change of 
fyftem, for which you had fo powerful 
a precedent, and which you have found 
fo favourable to your ambition. But 
there are rules of decency, my Lord, 
which a wifer man would have obferved, 
even in the groffift violation of mora 
‘There is a certain fort cf hoftilities 
which is forbidden by the laws of war 
nations, and by the laws of

a 






























but ill, my Lord, 
there are fume characters too great and. 
venerable to be infuited; there is yet a 
certain breach of decorum, which the 
public will not fubmit to. Was the 
Duke of Rutt the cnly man in this 
country, at whofe exprnce you cquhd 
gratify Lord D—— ? Ove wou'd think, 
my Lord, that if his uniforr nce 
to the principles of the revoluton, his 
fleady attachment to the Houfe of Ha- 
nover, and the important fervices which 
he and his family have rendered to that 
Hobfe, could poffibly be forgottea, 
there was yet fome:hing in his age, his 
rank, his perfonal charater, and private 
virtues, which might have entitled him 
to refpest. Was it neceflary, my Lord, 
to purfue bin into his own country on 
nirpofe to infult him? Was it 7 
War it decent, that while a Duke of 
Rutland is Lord Licutcnant, the Earl 
‘of D—'s recommendation thould go- 
vern the county of Leicetter ? Had Lord 
no friends in Leicctterthire but 

rank tovies to recommend for the com- 
miffion of the peace, And is it undes 
a Prince, who owes his crown to the 
whig interett of England, that a minif- 
ter dares to fend fuch a mandate to the 
Duke of Rutland? I know his Grace's 
Spirit, and doubt not of his returning 

‘ow an anfwer proper for you and fer 
himflf.

that made him fubmiffive? Was it the 
gencrous exertion of his great abilities 
in parliament, or the humble affiduity 
of his attendance at Lord Bute’s 
Was it the manly fin

* “ga. The Speech of a Right Honourable 
Getileman on the Motion for expelling 
Bs. Wilkes, Friday Feb. 4, 1766. 
ME: Wilkes was firft ele&cd for the 

county of Middlefex on the 28th of 
March, 1768, and was expelled on the 
3d of Feb. 1749, the day on which this 
§peech was made. 

The motion was made by Lord Bar- 
ringten, and feconded -hy Mr. Rigby, 
as follows: 
_ © That John Wilkes, Efq; a mem- 
ber of this Houfe, who hath ac the Bar 
of this Houfe confeffed bimfelf to be the 
Author and Publither of what this Houfe 
has refolved to be an infolent, {canda- 
Jous, and feditious Libel, and who has 
been conviéted in the Court of King’s 
Bench, of having Printed and Fublithed 
a {editious Libel and three abfcenc and 
impious Libels, and by the judgment of 
the {aid Court has heen featenced to un- 
dergo twenty-two months imprisenment, 

d is now in execution under the fuid 
judgment, be expelled this Houfe.” 

Of the fpeech before us, which this 
Motion accahoned, we fhail give the 
fubftance ; but our epitome will be in 
the Grft perfon, to avoid the inconve::i- 
encies that would naturally arife from 
aA attempt to convert it into nairative. 

. Mr. SpeEagER, 

I cannot agree with thofe who urged 
in behalf of Mr. Wilkes, that this mo- 
tun ought not to be complied with, be- 
caufe he is already the moft unhappy, as 
well as the moft oppreffed and injured 
man of the age: he is indeed, unhappy, 
becaufe he is guilty, but contidesing his 
repeated offences, he has been more for- 
tynate than his mof fanguine withes 
could have expected. To juftify what 
I have faid, let me afk a few queftions. 

“¢ When he wrote that feditious Libel 
againft the King and both Houfes of 
Parliament, could he forfee that he 
Bfould be taken up by a General War- 
rant, againit the declared opinion and 
defiie of the two Secretaries of State, 
who repeatedly propofed to have his 
name inferted in the warrant of appre- 
henfion, but were overu'ed by the law- 
yers and clerks of the office, who inhit- 
ed they could not depart fron: the long 
eftablithed precedents and courfe of pro- 
ceedings? Could Mr. Wilkes foretee, 
that after ag hundred years praGice, un- 
der the eye of the greateft lawyers, be- 
foxe the fapreme courts of juftice, with- 
out being ever queftioned in one angie 
inflance, that this irregularity and ille- 
gality would be firit found out in his

beare was tuken ‘up by a Gencral War- 
rant fram the Secretary of State, dated 
12 Jontacs, 1758, conceived word for 
word in the dane tcrns, for writing thé 
Axth letter to the prope of England off’ 
the progre!s of na:ional ruin, in whch 
is hewn, thir the prefent grandeur of 
France asd calamities of this nation are: 
owing to the influence of Hanover on the 
council. of England. Under: this Ge- 
nexal Warrant all his papers were’ felz- 
ed, as in the cafe of Mr: Wilkes, -and’ 
he was profecuted for this offence by 
Mr. Pratt, then Attarmey General, now 
Lord Chancellor of Great Britain: | He: 
was tried ard convicted of it on the 17th 
of May, and on th: 28th of November 
following, he was fentenced to be fined, 
to fand in the pillory, to be imprifored 
for three years, and then to give feeurity 
for his good behaviour for teven ycars. 
The jrofecution again Mr. Wilkes: 
was directed by the unanimous addrefs 
of both Houtés of Parliament. He was 
tried and convicted by a favourable ju- 
ry, for a libel certainly net lefs f-ditious 
or crimmal than Dr. Shebbeare’s. He’ 
was fentuncd to be fined five hundred- 
pounds, and to be imprifuned for ane 
year intlad of th:ee years, to give f-cu-* 
rity far his good behaviour fer {even 
years, and the ignominions part of the 
punishment was wholly remitted. He- 
was tried and convicted likewtfe for be- - 
ing the author and publither of three 
ohicenc and impious libels, upon a pro- 
fecution direéted in conie uence of an’ 
addiefs from the Houfe of Lords, for’ 
which he received exactly the fame fen: - 
tence as for the former offence, includ" 
ing the two manths impiifanment, which: 
he had fuffered before judgment wae- 
iven. Was he for cither of thefe-of-' 
ences, of indecd for ail of them taken!

enquire into the condudt of its m 
and to expel them uccording to the law 
of Parliament, which is part ofthe ‘aw 
of the land; but, in my opinion, the 
propofiticn hefore us is not conturmable 
to the law of Parliament, to the praétice 
of any other court of juftice, nor to the 
unalterable principles of natural equity; 
nor fupporied by any precedint in the 
Jgurnas of the Houfe, or the records 
of any other court. 

The charge contained in this motion 
confifts of four asticles, and upon the 
charge, thus complicated, the Houfe is 
called to give jndgment; but it is a rule 
of the Houle, that when a queition, even 
of a trifling nature is complicated, each 
meraber has a right to have it /cparated, 
that he my not be obliged to approve or 
difapprove in the lump, and not afingle 
iltance can be produced from the jour- 
nals, in which thie right has not bees 
prelerved. It has appeared, during the 
courfe of the debate, that great numbers 
of Gentlemen approve of fome parts of 
the charge, and difapprove of others, 
and fo vice verfa; what then my be the 
canfequence of blending the whole to- 
gether? Ix it not evident, that by this 
Unworthy anifice, Mi, Wiikes may be 
expelfed, althongh three parte in tour 
of thofe who expe! him, fhould have de- 
clared againit bis expuliion, upon every 
one of thearticles contained in the charge 
feparately taken.

Mark. Chalfiel1, Robert Webb, ‘Thomas and 
Samuel Ai tbury, James ard Richaid Hyde, 
Wm Geary, alias Juftice, aliss Ceorge 
Wood, Thomas Knichc, and Wm Wenham, 
were indicted for piratically invading and 
entering a Dutch Hoy, called the ‘Ihree 
Sifters, Peter B.otes, commarder, about 
two leagues f om Beachy head, and ftealing 
60 men’s hats, and be.ng convifted, receiv. d 
fentence of death, together with Pitnel al- 
seady mentioned. 

- Ic ie Said chat four of the ahovementioned 
convitts having, with fome of their compa- 
nions boarded a fmall Dutch doever, and 
finding the crew 190 many for them, Jumped 
precipitately iato their boats, leaving one of 
their company behind them, whom the thip- 
per ordered immediately to be hung up ; 
the pyrates io the meantime being rin 
forced, returnedto the attack, and not only 
wounded moft of the Dutchmen in a theck- 
ing manner, bur having knotked down the 
fkipper, one of :hem inhumanly cut him 
through the back bone with an ax, and he 
died in great agonics foon after. ‘Their 
companion, whom they cut down, having 
hung bur a few tninutes, eame to his fen(es, 
and he was biouzht on fhore ; and i: !s faid 
was the very man who made the dif overy 
by which the whole gang was deteficd.— 
Whoever reads the account in our Mapizine 
of the behaviour of a Dutch caprain to the 
whole crew of an Englith fhip, whom he 
flaughtered in cold blood, without any frovo- 
c1tion, (fce vol. xxi p. 524.) will not won- 
cer chat a parcel of lawlefs mifcreints 
fhould take vengeance of the fkipper for 
the ignominious and unjuftifiable execution 
of thoie companion ; and, i: is from thence 
inferred, that i¢ would be a difgrace to hang 
13 Englifimen for depriving a Dutchman 
of a fow hats, while the juftice of the nation 
remains yct unfatisfied for the lofs of fo ma- 
ny innocent Sivcs ; and while the gieat rob- 
bery commiced on ao Euclish fubie& at

JUNIUS. 


Auecdctes of Mr Hettasxp the late 
ceebrated Tragedian. 

Hares HolLaxp was bom at 
Chifwich, in Middlefex, in the 

year 1733, and after bemy inftruéted in 
thofe hranciics of education that are e!- 
tecrred moft uieful to men of bufinefs, 
Be was placed by his friends with a 
turpentine merchant in the city, to whom 
be was foon after bound arp ertice. 
During the eaily “part of his fe: viiude, 
he discharged his duty fo much to the 
fatisfa&tion of his matter, that he was 
very focu indulged with more freedom 
than is ufually allowed to lads in that 
ftation. Atout this perioi, he for the 





fr time faw our Englith Refcius, - 


whofe admirable performance made {uch 
an impriffien upon him, that he mure- 
diately became enamcured with the p'o- 
feffion of a player, and fomctime atter 
entered himielf a member of the Reici- 
an fociety in Gutter Line, whcre anum- 
ber of young men aff.mbled two or 
three evenings in the week, in order to 
sehearfe fuch chzraéters, as they after- 
wards reprefented in private plays for 
the entertainment of their friends. In 
one of thefe performances, our young 
{pouter received fuch uncommon prools 
of the fpeétators thinking him poffeil d.of 
great theatrical ubilitics, that he dnedby 
applicd to Mr G: rrick, who, efter hear 
jog him sepeat feveral paffag.s, pro- 
nounced he would ore day make an 
a@or, but advifed him by no means to 
think of appearing in public, till he had 
confulied his friends, and fulfliid his 
engapement with his inalter. This 
council Holland invariably purfued, and 
refolutely returned to the bufivefs of the 
warehon'c, which he tranfidted wich 
fuch attension and fidelity, that he gain- 
ed univeifal efteem. 

His ,cfGon for the flage, however, 
did not in the Jeaft fubfides all bis ler- 
fure hour. were empleyed in preparing 
himfelf by the moft rational inctheds fay 
making a figure in the profeffion ie fo 
much admired, and he has be:n fre- 
quently known to fpend the great i part 
of the night in the ftudy of characters 
which the avocations of the day would 
not pemit him to examine. ; 

In the year 1754, Holland made his 
appearance upon the ftage in the cha- 
raétex of Oro.noko, in which be ac-

quired great reputagion, though be was 
nat a litcle difconcerted the firft night, 
by an accid.nt thut befell Mfr Burton, 
who piayed the governor, and who was 
ualuckily. wounded by him in the face; 
during the courfe of the feafon he per- 
formed Eumenes in Merope, and teve- 
ral other capital characiers, in which he 
was received with uncommon. applanie 
by the public. His falary, however, at 
this tinve did not amount to more than 
thirty fhillings pe: werk, but the next 
winter it was copfiderably encrezied,. 
and on Mr Moflop’s going to Ireland, 
he became poffeffed of feveral mew narts, 
and received a fu:sthcer augmentation 
of pay. 

During the theatrical contention in 
Dul.lin between Barry and Moffop, they 
repeatedly inyrted Holland over to per- 
form in that ‘metropolis, and according- 
ly in the fummer of the ysar 1763, he 
azieed to the propo'al of the latter, 
and p'ayrd tep nights at Smock Alley 
theatre, for which he received the fuss 
of soc]. anda benefit. A confiderable 
offer was m.de him to continue .during 
the winter at Dublin, but his attach- 
ment to Mr Garrick, who had upon 
various occafions, given nm the ftroag- 
eft proofs of his regard, determined him 
to return to London. 

A x cular theatre being eflablifed in 
Bridoi sor the fummer feafon about 
tl ree ycars ago, Holland was invited by 
tle Jate Mr Powell, with whom he hid 
long lived in the greateft intimacy, to 
unite with him in the direéltion of the 
drama of that city, and in this capaciy 
he acquiticd himfelf fo well, that it was 
apparent the leffons he had recerved from 
his great mafter, had qualified him ne 
jefe for an excelent manager than a 
diftinguithed aor. 

The wintir before the laft, Mr Gar- 
sick and Mr Lacy refolved to difpole of 
the pr ‘nt, and a trcaty was entered in- 
to fur the pur hite between thofe two 
gentlemen, ud Mr King the cclebrated 
comedian, Mr Geo: e Garrick, and Mr 
Holland, who, fic ther talents aud 
Si.rvices, were favourcd with the firft of- 
ferot the property. Holland upon this 
occafion received a convincing proof of 
the refpeQavic ht he ftood tn with hs 
friends, wio actually raifed for him the 
fum of ssoo0l. at one days notice, 
which, however, was rot emp'oyed far 
the purpo:e he intended it, as the 
ciation was fuddenly broke off, by Mr 
Lacy's unexpectedly declaring it would 
be very difagrceabie for him to retire.

nia and Maryland.’ ‘The latitude of the 
northernmoft point N, was determined 
from the zenith diftances of feveral ttarg

sramoft point A = 38° 27/34”. There- 
fore the mean latitude, expielfed ia de- 
grecs and minutes =39° 14’. 

To reduce this meafure of a degree 
te the mesfure of the Pais Toife, it 
mut be premifed that the meafure of 
the French foot was found upon a very 
accurate comparifon, made by the late 
Mr Graham, of the toife of the Royal 


Academy of Sciences at Paris, with our 
Royal Society's Brals Randard, to be te

Such is the length of a degiee in t

of the Royal Society's Braft Standard.

his own brais Gale of equal parts, whi

woud take notice of fa finall a diffe- 
sence, the length of the degree jok 
found, mufi be leffened by ,..4,,,th par’, 
er by 10 feet, in order te reduce it tothe 
mealure of the Royal Society's itandard. 

The five feet having been again com- 
pared with Mr Bird's (cale, fince its re- 
forn from North America, appeared to 
be jut ,,'.,th part of an inch thorter 
than the fcale, which diminuti..n of its 
Fength is undoubtedly owing to the 
final) wearing or baticrmg which it met 
with in the frequent ule of it. In al- 
towing for the wearing of the rod, one 
miay iuppofe itto have suffered a gradu- 
e) diminuticn, a mean thould be taken 
between its nrit length, which wae the 
fame with Mr Bird's icale, snd its pre- 
Sent length, which is ."..1h of an inch 
fhorter ; as one may fuppofe it at a ie- 
dium to have been ,%,,th of an inch 
fhorter than Mr Biru’s {cate ; on which 
account the lencth of the d- giee thould 
be further diminifhed by -..2,.th part, 
or three feet, which a.lded to ten feet, 
the corre€tion required on the difference 
of Mr Bird's, and tke Royal Seciety’s 
flandard, gives thiitcen feet to be fub- 
Rsagted from the length of the degree 
calculated as above. 

The whole corieétion will, perhaps, 
be thought scarce deferving notice, ef- 
pecially as an error of only 1/” in the 
celettisl meafure would produce] no lefs 
shan 67 feet in the leng¥ of the degree. 

Morcovr it is probable, that the 
length of a degre has been already ta- 
ken ten or twenty feet too fhort, by 
placing the point C too far to the fovth- 
ward, which would about balance the 
small corrction in quettion. ‘There- 
fort, all things being confidered, the 
length of the degree may be fiated, as 
given above, viz = 363743 Englith fect,

G. P—w—iP's Speech in Parliament. 


Extra of a Letter fram Philadelphia, 
in Ne America, dated O&ober 
the roth, 1769. 

“ J Send you the Peaafyluania Chre- 

micle, in which is printed the fpeech 
of a member of parlixment,, faid to 
be fpoken upon a motion for a re- 
peal of the American revenue act. 

We undeittand bere, that G—r 

P. AL was the erfon who made 

that motion, and that the objeétion 

« again it, from all fides the H——le 
of C——s, was, that it was not made 

“ ata proper time, 

“© My correfpondent in England tells 

«© me, that the M—ry had declared, at 

« the beginning of the feffions, that if 

there was not then exifliag an oppo- 

fition and refiftance to this law, they 
would have come into a propofal for 
the repeal. Ths fame correfpondent 

acquiints me, that G——s P—I 
waited, until publick accounts ar- 
rived in England from our country, 

* that all was peace and quietude, and 

** that there was no refiftance; and 

“© then, he feized that favourable op. 
portunity, to propofe the repsal, as 

“ Poincident want tee peoteion® of the 
M—ty ; which, fo far as regard- 

“ed matters in erica, was cer- 

tainly the very critical moment to do 

it in;—For we were all lying upen 
our oars, patiently waiting to fee 

«« what P- t would do, and I am 

« confident, that if they had adopted 

«© the repeal on the prin 

«© the extent, as propofed in the G—r's 

« fpeech, matters would, before now, 
have becn greatly, if not intirel 

quieted ;—but a3 that was rejetted, 

«« we have loft all hopes of redrefs, on 

** any principles that can be depended 
on; and therefore, as we have induf- 

« triowfly begun, fo we thall realoufly 
perfevere in our refolutions, to ma- 

«¢ nufadture for ourfelves, and efpecial- 

s+ ly as it is already become, and will 

© be daily more and mor: unpopular 

«« and dilreputable, to appear in an: 

«© other cloathing, than whut is mac 

«© in America. 

“ Your prefent rulers may perhaps 

« {mile with contempt at thefe effoits 
and refolutions; but a fiw years 

«¢ will convince them of the great dad 

irremediable injury they Lave dane to

of the fpeech being of fuch moment,

of inalility to fpeak in public, and of 
being of no party, or withing to he of 
any, how neceflury foever before the 
Houfe, is altogether indifferent t> the 
public, —proceed we then to the matter. 

There is, fays the g>vernor, a general 
diffatisfaQion and uneafinett, as well 
here as in America, at our falling back 
into that controverfy and conteft between 
the government and the colonies, which 
we were once fo happily delivered from. 
All now are convinced that there are 
no means of deciding the centroverfy 5 
that there are no hopes of putting an 
end to the conteft. Every event that 
arifes, raifes freth difficultics ; nothing 
but power can operate, and that can 
operate only to mi(chief. Power, thus 
‘uled, will inflame and unite the colo 
nies, as in one common cause, and eve- 
ry further excrtion of that power will 
only prefs the people clofer together, 
and render more intenfe and ardent that 
heat with which they are already in- 
flamed.

univerfal apprehenfion of the dange- 
rous confequences of this ftate of hinges

Nay, I will venture further, to fay, thar

Of admizifiration, on which the Ameri-

fay, we will take the proper occafion, 
when the proper time comes, when we 
fee the proper ground we will repeal 
thefe revenne I: that we may get 
back agin tothe old gourd.

The revenvie of Jamaica waa, :in. the 
year 1728, granted for 83711. and is 
now greatly more than double thacium 
per annum, The amount raifed by-this 

ate act is but 3231. . 

The revenue raifed in Virginia, which - 
ought in like manner, as ‘in Jamaica, to 
be applied to the fupport of civil” goe 
vernment, and to the protcétion of his 
majcfty’s doninors there, is above.

four and an half per cent. duties are, 
I cannot pretend to mark with any pre- 
cifion, as no account of them has. ever 
been laid before the’ public—but .it is 
notorious what Iarye grants, by anaui- 
tiesand othe: ways, are paid out of them. 
- Now, Sir, view this (vittm of finance 
in the light either of jyitice or police, 
and the impropriety cf this a& mult be 
apparent in every degree of convidtion. 

‘Jt remains that [ oblerve that -thie

I have fthewn that it hath a.die@

‘That it hath a dhre& tendency to ob-

L fhall therefore only mark the in-

paticularly réfpetts. 

it lays a duty upon painters colours 
—-Can any one imagine that-the pcople 
of America are under any necefliy of 
impo: ting this article into that country ! 
Can any one imagine that there is no 
red or Xcliow ocre on that great conti- 
ment! Can any one fuppole that a coun: 
try which abounds with mines of lead, 
iron and copper, hath not every colour 
that the art of painting hith produced 
and ufed—But if they had but one, and 
that the pooreft colour that ever was 
uled, we know how far the fpirit of an 
agitate! peo, le will go, as there was a 
time when we heard of nothing but 
Prufan cakes and Pruffian ale—f{o if a 
fancy was taken up but oncc to call this 
{rr colour, the colaur of liberty, every 

onle, carriage and fhip would be paint- 
ed with it. 

This a& Jays a ftrange, uninte}ligib'e 
duty upon paper. There are large ma- 
nufaGlures of paper in that country, 
the only dithculty they Jabour under is 
that ef coileting a fufficient quantity 
of linnen rags; But if they were once 
to confider Fit the fubft.nce of paper 
iy nothing ‘but the macerated remains 
of ccriain plants, they would hid a way 
of obtuining that fubflance, withont its 
hiving cone through the intermediate 
procels of having been made into I n- 
n.n—and then there would be an end 
tu ail ditftculty as to this aticle of ma- 
nufacture ;—=butin the mean while, this 
att has had a dire&t tendency to lead 
them to look for a fupply either direétly 
from Holland, or mediately from the 
Dutch iflands in the Weft-Indies. 

In like manner I could thew, from 
an authority which, if }] was to men- 
tion, would have great weight of evi- 
dence in this houfe as to thefe maiters, 
that this law hath not had the effc& of 
preventing the impo.tation cf Dutch 
tcas into that country, but that tlicre 
never was imported more than in the 
Jatt year, either dire&tiy from Holland, 
or by way of the Ditch Welt-India 
jllands ; and no wonder when our laws 
clog our own trade, with a difcourage- 
ment of 25 per cent. 

' This att lays a duty upon glafs, 
which has a direé&t tendency to promote 
the manutasture of that article in thote

the national debt and its cenfequences, 
the national taxes, by which the price of 
every neceffary of }ife is rendered ex- 
ceffive, and the attainment of thofe ne-

On Lattices. 

I Can by no means relith the fathion of 

Lattices fo generally received in 
France for fome years paft. When 
Publicola was contented to dwell in 2 
houfe open on all fides, and expofed to 
the eycs of the public, he did not a& 
thus fiom tafte, but with a political 
vicw to pleafe the people, and to devi- 
ate from the tyrannical manners of 
kings whom they had expelled. But 
our modem Jattices are approved of, 
becaufe it is pretended that they give te 
places cheat falnefs, light, air, and views 
abroad. All this may be had in an 
open field, if we would chufe to dwell 
there under a tent. If Lattices give 
you the pleafure of feeing what paffes 
abroad, they give you alfo the uneafineis 
of being feen, however you may hap- 
pen to be employed, by all who pafs by: 
They keep you in that conftrsint and 
refpect which are due tothe public, and 
require from you, in fpite of yourfelves, 
a decent habit and regular potture, and 
deprive you of the cohveniences of re- 
tirement, and the fweets of fohtude, 
What lady has the affurance to appear 
in a difhadille and mob in a garder di- 
vided only by lattices from the hi 
road that leads from Paris to Verfaillles> 
You think yourfelves very retired at 
home, and in perfect tecurity by a bar- 
rier of iron rails, not confidermg that 
the hundred openings of this inclofure 
deprive you of that fecurity, and that 
you have a hundred gates difplayed, 
which leave a free communication from

"Ba miy effiy ow the origin of Romances,

Rbwevtr, Has oppofed, viz. that good 
“fidges of poetry are more rare than good 
: AndI convinced M. de Segrais, 
td ‘whom that difcourfe is addrefled, of 
‘the truth of this affertion. The word 
“fbeiry tx very genueral, and extends from 
be Pipram:; ithe madrigal, and the bal- 
fad, ‘even to the epic poem; and from 
Bucolics,. to the mof fublime kind of 
Odes. In order to judge of all thefe 
Rinds of poetry, it is neceflary to know 
‘ghe nature and the rules of them. And 
“how few are there who are acquainted 
‘with thefe? Bot if they were known, 
: “thar would not-be fufictent to make 


‘food, judges of poctry. There muf 
‘Be alfo # peculiar tafte and genius, 
‘which are merely the gifts of nature, 
tnd which Rudy cannot beftow ; and as 
Fiorace fays, that he alone deferves the 
name of a poet, cui mezs divintior, the 
fame thing may be truly faid of a good 
Nudge of poetiy. Not only a natural 
devation of genius is neceflary for this 
‘purpofe, but there muft be alfo a nice 
‘and delicate car, which may be improv- 
‘€d when it ts denved from nature, but 
‘ean never be accuired by thofe who 
want it; As we fee fone perfons, in 
ether refpeéts of an excellent undcr- 
ftdnding, who yet have no ear for mu- 
fic, fnch as Lipfius owns himfeif, and 
Matherhe is fart to have been, and fuch 
as. we have known Menage and Segrats; 
fo. there are others aifo who are inicnfi- 
ple to the harmony of numbers,. W here- 
ag tly to.whom sature has gzanted this 
talert, .find themielves. agiteted (as it 
were) by an ecitacy, of delight, at the 
recital of mulical and fonovous veries. 
fu as two flings which are unitone, 
if you touch one of them, the other 
alfo produces the fame found. 

_ IT give up to women and to the vulgar 
the dteaffion of madrigals, of ballads, 
and ¢pigrams; though the epigram has 
alfo its rules, yet of afmallextent. But 
gs in thefe days, among us, gallantry 
fas made the women judges of what 
gepends. upon the underftanding as well 
as upen-the fenfes, they abufe the power 
which we have let them ufurp ;.and from

this, poetical forture depends. - Aad 
woe to thofe who for want: of having 
made thefe refic&ions, have laboured to 
ecure the approbation of the public, 
‘by epic poems! Taey anglt' alfo te 
have made another reficttion, so ‘leis ef-

of our nation; and, betides irs prefuinp- 
tier, lively, impetucus, an-enemy to la- 
dour, and incapable of foch a comftast 
attentiun, and fteady application of 
mind as the nobler poems require; - we 
can fearce raife ourfeives to the sublimi- 
ty of the Ode, nor bear the length of 
it. This is the country, and the feafoe 
of *triolets and madrigale; and we 
cannot compafs the ¢ fonnet withourdl- 
ficulty. Whoever can contlude thet 
jittle poems with fome fhort and 
poignant thoughts, which are called 
points, will be inure to bear away, with-

And ever-blecming fame beftow.  - 
Perfons who ¢havé no tafte for fine 
poetry, comprife all the rules of it m

an improper ilifion, an unhapry rh 
a bold hrafe, ruin a work, iPr Thee el 
pects highly commendable, full of beav- 
tiful turns, of elevation and ‘harmony. 
Ie is by thefe ruler, that prizes are dif- 
tributed in thofe tribuhals of Normandy, 
which are called Paliad:. By this way 
of jedsine, the poems of Fracaftorivs

in his profefion. But it feems, the fale

were intended for the fupport of wora

We are told, by the higheft. judicial

purchafe the reverfion of 3 patent in 
Jomaica (which he was otherwise fifi

criminal nature, and dangerous confe-

employs the mennett of his creaturcs in 
thefe honourable fervices, and forget-

Doélor Mufgrave wilted on Lord

‘Whete ‘are the originals? Copies of

If they are in the-hands of Dr Muf- 
grive, why has he not produced them, 
thatthe publick, as weil ashimfelf, may

Did. the Chevalier offer to wait om 
Lord Halifax? No. Dr Mufgrave 
rd Halifax to fend for him, 
examine‘him, perule his papers. Had 
his Lordthip fulficient authority to fend, 
for a perfon wito had been intruited witle 
the affairs of a foreign coort? Examine 
him, perufe his papers, and the dif 
patches of the Duke de Nivernois? 
Could any migifirate in France dare to

could be thea placed between two na- 
tions! Woat a long train of evile 
would follow fuch a condu& ! By what 
means could he bring the Chevalier be- 
fore him? By gentle meane, as he wae 
So difpefed to give light into the affair 2. 
By the addrefs and proceedings of De 
Mulgrave, we might think that he was” 
well acquainted with him, and that be 
was ready to wait on Losd Hulifax on 
the leaft notice. Alas, the Doétor did 
not know him, had never feon himy 
Ceonfiquendy_ his dipattion could ‘be 
very imperfially known. On this gen-

_BOt, OR 4 there be feven of the council 


upon the iftand. 

This is faid to be the only caf in 
which the commander in chief can le- 
gally name counieliors, On the a6th 
of Auguit 1768, there being then en} 
Axe mainbers of the council in the iftand, 
‘the Teutenant governor appomeed bis 
private fecrctapy to be a member, who is 
‘zof onc of the princip’l inhabitants, apd 
therefure not engib!e. 

‘The council however acquiefced, and 
the fecretary fat till the return of two of 
the abfent members, which made the 
number eight without the fecretary. The 
council then came to a refolution that 
the appointment of the fecretzry ccafad. 

‘The licutenant governor couplained. 
of this asa perfunal infult, and ha 
endeavoured to change the opinion o} 
the cougeil by many learned arguments 
in vain, the (ecretary delired! the gover- 
nor's leave to refign his feat, and st was 
grant 

On this very day the liewenant gover- 
nor, who had fufpended his attempt fo 
biing two French Roman Catholic’s in- 
to council, faying he woy'd write to the 
fecretary of ftate tor the colonies on the 
fubjeét, declared, without any previous 
cgmmunicaian ar ecnfultation, thit he 
would appoint one of the Roman Ca- 
tholics a puifne judge of the Common 














| Pleas. 


It is inGited that be had no right to do 
this j itis alto indtted, that the king hag 
porght todo this; because it is enaét- 
ed by, a law ofthe colony, that the judges 
at the Common Pieas hall aif rake the 
garhs, and (ubf:ibe a dez!aration againit 

-tranfabflantintion, 

‘This hawever feemss to he hay and 
incunfiderate a'ligation : for the king's 
infyudtions expreFly declare, that the 
Roman Catholics thall be capable anong 
other places of teuft, to hold that of a 
puitise judge of the Common Pleas witb- 
tut a tof: and that what is called a law 











_ of the colony thould sender the king's 


inftru@tions inc @ual, fiems to be 
furange de&r'ne. . 

The governor however propofed a 
French fubjest to be a putitne judge, and 
the board would not confent : becaufe, 
not to mention that the law of the colo- 
ny required a telt, the fume law limitted 
the number of puiine judg: s tofour, and 
there being then four the court was full, 
pnd could nor admit another, wheth 
ProreRtant or Papit!, with tett or wirho 

‘The governor then faid, he had the 





* . Ising’s order to make the appointment ¢ 


council, except 





597 


but being ftill Readily oppofed, he relin- 
quithed the attempt... 

But he next informed them, that be 
bad appointed two of the Roman Catho-. 
Tic fabjedts members. of the council 5 
and they attended to be fworn in, The 
council remoagtrated againft. this mea 
fore, becaufe their numbsr was com- 
pleat, there being twelve members of the 
king's own appointment, and cight of 
them prefenty and: beeaufe, though the 
king had declared his pleafure that (wo 
Catholics at a time thould be capable 
of bring members af his council, he had 
not delegated: any. power of nominating 
them to the goveruor. we 

The governor anfwered, that the {4- 
cretary of flate had written to him $o 
appoint two Catholic members 5 that 
he had done fo, and that they ould be 
fwornin, The council having no me- 
thed left to prevent this, the interpretir 
attending, and the oaths being ready. 
fuddenly fe!l upon an expedient, - and 
the prelident and five members with- 
drew, . 

It is infifted that the governor, in this 
meafure, attempted not only what he 
was not inftru&ed to do, but what he 
was inftru@ed mot to do ; and that bis 
inftrn@ions were mot to execute the 
royal intentions in favour of the Freach 
Cutholics, in as far as thofe intentions 
regarded the council, till certain provi- 
fions had been made by the legiflature 
of the ifland, ner even then till the 
king's pleafure could be krowa, It ie 
infifled alf, that the lieutenant gover- 
nor had not received a letter, fram the 
fecretiry asa warrant for what he did, 
notwithttanding his affertion to the con- 
trary, becaufe fuch leiter would. have 
Veen contraty to his inferustions, by 
which he was alreaty hound. as far as 
the king's order could bind him, 

Soon sfter, the lieutenant govermor, 
notwithttanding affianees to the con- 
trary, and though he pretended he 
would drop the matter, fufpended and 
removed from counail the prefident and 
‘the five other members whole withdraw- 
ing had difappointed his meafure. 

Tt is infed that this fufpention is il- 
legal and isregular, becaufe the gover- 
nor receives all his power from the 
King’s initrutions, and becaufe by thof 
initrugtons, the king declares it to be 
his witl and pleafure, that the governor 
faould not remove or fafp:nd any mem~ 
ber of conncil without ite fent ofa

them to execute the faid coavids, ace 
cording to the tenor of the above war- 
rant, at the moit convenient place near

place near Bethnal Green church, - ia 
the county ot Middlefex ? .

is a difplay of the moit wanton proin- 
flop. The forces, which were found 
fufficient to conquer that country be- 
fore lord Clive arrived, are inciealed

tenfold. Field officers, with all their 
perquifies and contingent bi are

Joneis, lieutenant colonels, and majors, 
to the ruber of 28 additional held- 
Officers, as a peace, eftablithment, after 
all the bufinefs had been done without 
them. A feapny battalion, which had 
formerly one Europeancaptain, lieute- 
pant, and enfign, and 120 mena com- 
pany, is now reduced to 70 mena 
company, with one European captain, 
two lieatenants, and one enfign to each 
company, and one lieutenant-colonel, 
and twp mi to each baital 
making in all 121 battalions, befi 
the Perquinack battalion for the col- 
leGtion of the revenues, which is now 
increaled to twelve companies, without 
one earthly reafon for their eftablith- 
menrat all, 

‘This glorious plan is to be the model 
for our eftablithments at Madras and 
Bombay. Col. Coote, and Gen, Law- 
rence have given their fanétion to this 
favourite child of Lord Clive, and each 
are to have their recommendation ac- 
cordingly. 

‘There ia undoubtedly a proper mien 
for the military eftablithment in India; 
whatever that is, it ought to be afcer- 
ined and determined, The moft j 
us officers, who have ferved in In-

oO: the 22 of December laft, one of 

the inembeis of our univerfity read 
apaper berore the lnevary fociety here, 
upon the fuiar tpots, giving an account 
ot anew urcovery, founded on demon- 
firative ob-ervations, concemning the 
frue natine of thele phaaomena: to 
which are added, fome c rjehures 
which feen: co lead to new ahd curious 
ecnuceptions, retative tothe nature and 
conftitution of the tun’s body. In gee 
Kecal, from the fiope of the d-ficu fe, 
x omanitettly appears, that thefe ipots 
ae notin the fun's atinofphece, as has 
been nitherco fuppofed, nor noon his 
Surtace, but on the contrary, that they 
great a great depth velow it, and that

propertiss; by farthe greater part being 
folid and opayne,and that this immenie 
and dark aucieus is covered over with 
that glorions and fhining eleme.* tram 
which he derives his whole vivityiug 
heat andenergy, and that this Jumt-

Upon which principles, a pla. and na-

obferved to andergo fo long as thy

Mr Dunn, who gave the public an 
account of the late comet, remarks, 
that the Phanomena of the late great 
ipot on the jua,do not prove an excava- 

nin the body of that luminary. 
That in 1763 and 1764, he caretully 
obferved withthe telefcope, many of 
thofe ipots at their ccming on and go- 
ing off the fun's difk, and difcuvered 
t¥e furrounding uinbra, or lithe dark 
fpecks, to form compleat anulx, like 
the ring of faturn, the body of the fpot 
being fufpended in that ring, and fume- 
times ps ojeing over it, which appear- 
ances could not pofibly haprenthrcough 
excavations in the fun's body ; that he 
was the frit difcoverer of this property, 
and communicated it in May 1764, to 
the tate earl of Morton, although it 
never appeared in the Tranfaciions. It 
is theretore probably, that the nucleus, 
or central part of a folarfpot,rs opaque 
matter inte: poting between us and the 
folar furtace, and that the fu rounding 
umbra is ar atfenibiageot opaquc atoms 
gravitating towir's that mucteus, and 
that they together cravetate ¢. wards

638 Reflefions on the Meafure of a Degree of Latitude. 


_ Mr Ursay, 
J Was inuch pleafed to find that you 
favoured your readers with a cut 
Qf an.inedited Seal of King Henry V. 
communicated by Mi Pegge, which he 
‘juftly ttiles a real Unic; and that you 
may be enabled further to oblige them, 
and enrich your coileétion, I have fent 
yon an imprefiion of a Broad Seal of 
‘King James 1. which Has névet beech 
Moticed by any collector of thefe mat- 
xers. The obverte and reverfe of this 
‘Seal being tolerably legible, it is well 
jworth preterving, and with tbat of 
‘King Heary V. abavémentioned, will 
imake a valuable Addenda to Speed, 
‘Sandford, Blackflone, and Vertue. 
' Market-Harberougb, I am, Sir, 
- Fan. ty 1770. Yours, 8c. 
RoWLAnpb Rouse. 
: P.8. A defcription of this Seal ma 
‘be feen in the Gent. Mag. for April, 
13764, page 3613. 


5 
Further Reflefions on Meff. Mafon's and 
Dixon's Meafure of a Degree of La- 
titude, in North America. (See the 
Dec. Mag. pag. 568.) 
iv -thould be obferved that the accu- 
racy of the reduction ot Parss toiles, 
depends upon.a fuppofition, that the 
length of the Freach toile, which ta of 
iron, was laid off by the Gentlemen of 
.the Royal Academy of Sciences, upon 
the brafs rod fent over tothem fur that 
purpofe by Mr Grabam, (and after- 
wards returned to him) was done in a 
room, where the heat of the ai: an- 
{wered to 62 degrees of Fabremhe:t’s 
thermometer, or 15 of Recumur's, or 
pearly fo, which is probable enough, 
but is a point which does not appear 
to be afcertained; fince, on account 
“of the difference of expanfion of brais 
and iron, two rods made of thole me- 
_tals, however accurately they may be 
of the fame length at Gri, will only. a- 
gree together afterwards.in the lame 
temperature of ‘the air in which they 
. were originally adjutted together. It 
$s fortunate, that in the prefent cale, 
the uncertainty is but fmall; fince 20 
degrees difference of Fabrenheit’s ther- 
> mometer, or 10 of Reaxmur’s, produ- 
cer, according to Mr Szmcaton’s expe- 
riments, a difference of the expanfions 


of brafs and iron, of only +z350th 
_ part, which would caufe an error of 
only 27 Lagi/ feet, or about four Pa- 
-£is tovles, jn the length of the degree. 
:. B.S. Since the above, M. dela Lande, 
-of the Royal Academy at Paris, has 
been pleated to fend bither.two toifes, 
which hp. faye ace. exactly adjufied to 


the ftandard gf the toife ufed by Meff. 
de la Condamine and Bosguer, in the mes. 
fure of rhe degree of latitude’ in Rers. 
Thefe Mr Bird has compared j ahd thi 
reluit is, that the lenecit of the too 
toifes; (for these is a fail difence 
between them) and which bas beegi 
fince inarked with the fetter A, is ¢: 
gu?! to 76,738 inches, by Mr Brrdts 
brafs (calz of equal parts, asd the fhort- 
eft, marked B, is == 76.535 inches ‘by 
the fame fcales the heigh: of Fatres- 
be:t’s thermometer in Pe fame room 
being 63 degices. The meanof the 


_Jeugth of the two toiles is therctore 


== 76 7365 inches by My Bird's fcalé. 
But tls fcale is 5 ..th ct an.inch up- 
on three feet fhorier than the Roygl 
Society's brafs ttandard, and con(é- 
quent!y. rse'suth too fhort for the fame 
upon 76,7355 inches; thereforeyeenuth 
of an inch muft be fubtragted tro 
76,73553 whi-h leaves 76,7344 for t 
jengzn of the Pa ss toile 1 mealures 
of the Royal Societys brafs tandard, 
in the temperature of 61 degrees of 
Fabrenbei's thermometer. In the tem- 
perature of 62 degrees it will be a 
Pistle fhorter; or it ‘may be taken 
2z76,734-incbes in meafures of fhe 
Roya! Society's brafs Randard. This is 
Toeoth, or about gd of an iuch Jon- 
er than when determined by Mr Gra- 
ams experiment. Hence it appears, 
that therc was a miftake in fgppofing 
(Decemb,’ May.) that the- uncertainty 
about the true proportion of the Eng 


lif aud Frencl: mealuresa was but fmall, 


dinge the error in the former dete: mis 


naiion now appears to have becuyzy'z7tht 
of the whole, or equivalent to what 
might have been produced by.a.dif- 
ference ot 84 degrees of  Fatrenbsit's 
thermometer, : 
From 363763 Eaglif feet, the length 
of the degree teund by the five teet 
brafs ttandard, fubtraG 10 teet for the 
difference between Mr Bird's {cale and 


. the Royal Society's ftandard, and three 


fect tor the wearing of the bials rod ; 
anil there remain 363750 feet, accarg- 


Ing to the Ruyal Suciety’s MKandard, 


for the length of the degree. Butto 
this it feems proper to add 33. feet, in 
order to coriect the .poftion .of. the 
oint C, determined. by. the .fegtay. 
‘Cheretore the true lenzth of the de- 
gree, according to the Royal Suciety,s 
brafs ftandad, in the temperature of 
62 degrees ot Fahrenheti’s. thermame- 

ter, is 363771 feet, or 68,2960 Exot, 

ftatute miles. To reduce thié tot 
Paris taife, by the proportion befgre 
eftablifhed, fay, aa 76,734 18 to nie

is 364770 to 340388 Freach feet, of

Mr. URBAN, 

MT HE Quakers reafone for the non ob- 
fervance cf the feftival ‘of Chrit. 
mas, printed in your December Ma- 
zine, Pag. 599, appear ro me quite 
mconclufive: The firft objetion may 
be equally made againft prayer and 
‘preaching, and all other éxternal 
Berformancee of religion; and there- 
"fore ‘proves nothing peculiar to the 
cafe under confideration. ‘That the 
"obfervance of the Chriltmas fefti- 
‘val is not particularly enjoined in the 
‘New Teftament, I readily grarit; nei- 
‘ther, In thy opinion, is there any ex- 
peels precept for the obfervation of 
“Sanday, in merrory of Chrift’« refur- 
“weftion; and therefore, as the Quakers 
Mbink proper toobferve the bitter 4 ith: 

: (Susp. so Semi. Mug. 1765-) 

ec 


Gat x dire&t command, in imitation of 
the Apofttes and firft Chrifijane, I 
think they may fafely obferve the far- 
mer, in imitation of the purer ages of 
the church, ‘and in obedience t+ the 
commands of the civil magiftrate, 
whofe authority they ought to obey, 
when his injunctions do not cont: adie 
the pofirive laws of Chrift. Why th 
Quakers fhoutd infift noon an exprels 
precept for the vhferya-i¢ nof Chriftmag 
day, is to me unaccountable, fince they 
have difcarded the two Sacramentt bf 
Haptifm and the Lord's Sunper, tho’ 
infituted by Chrift himfelf, ‘and covas 
manded to be obferved hy all Chr-tti- 
ans. The text from the Eniitle to the 
Galatians is fo impertinently apnied, 
that It can have no we ight, if we CON. 
fier, that’ St Pau! doth therein reprove 
the Galatians for obferving fach days, 
Months. times, and years of the J. ws, 
which (ho! abrogated hy the Chrittian 
difpenfation, as ‘being tyniesl of what 
had been compleated by Chrift's ap- 
peatin in the fieth) the’ Jovaizing 
shrittians attempted to impole upon 
them, as neceifary to falvation, con- 
‘trary to his endeavours of fetting them 
at liberty th the freédom of the Gof- 
-pel, and to'the do@rine of falvation 
by Chrift alone, which might well 
‘make him atraid of theic condition. 
That we ought tc maintain a perpetual 
‘remembrance of Chritt in our minds, 
‘no Chriftian wil deny ; bur neverthe- 
‘Jefe, if We confider how carelefs men 


are in the great comorne of their fal- 


Vatica. 


Vation. it wi ie th 
‘ation, it will. appear a very wile me- 
thpd to fet apart particular times for 
"he-renovation of boly porpoler, the 
extinétion of earthly de! ret ani the 
more solemn confideration of qur é&er - 
nal interet, The {ak objedtion, of 
encouraging Cuperitition, will, I hope, 
have little weight with thofe who cou- 
fider the reafon and end of infituling 
this feitival; namely, the promoting 
Gf piety and charity, which 1 imagine 
the Quakegs will mot dare to reckon a- 
tongit the fuperititious cufloms of the 
world. The Quakers have, I think, 
forgot the moft material objection a 
gaintt the etebration of this feitival, 
Vig, the horrid perverfion of it hy thofe 
who fpend this holy feafon in riot 
and debauchery, and which will, in 
time, perhaps make it meceffary to a- 
bolith it, asthe primitive church did 
the Agaps, or Love Featts. ugh 
Tby no means agree with the Quakers 
in their religious fentiments, yet I ef- 
teem them tor their quiet and peace 
able demeanor; and do not intend to 
‘offend ibem by thefe remarks, but on- 
y to deliver my own opinion with can- 

jour and Cheifian charity. 1 fhall 
conclude with recommending to their 
confideration, this fentence out of Ter- 
tuilian’s treatife De Corona Militis, 
* "Phar in what the Scripture neither 
* com nands, sor forbids, we mult 
% follow what cuftom has confirmed ;* 
‘viz. if the cuftom be lawful.
