PREFACE.
Im Ote preface to the Firat Part of the Hundbbdth Volume of our labours,
review was taken of the longline of its predeeeaaors ; and such observations
were made upon their contents as were consistent with modesty and truth. On
kttaining a goal which few periodical works have ever reached, it waa impoasi-
ble not to feel — and feeling, it would have been affectation to conceal — sensa-
lioDs of ciultation at the almoat unprecedented success which haa attended our
homble, but zealous, efforts foe the promotion of Historical, Antiquarian, and
Biographical Literature.
Success has not, however, induced us to relai our exertions. Thou^
UK liad the vanity to think that much was done, we were sensible that
npntatioo is more difficult to prC9Erve than to acquire ; and that It la im-
poaaiMe ta maintain the position in which we etond, without calling into action
•il oar resources, and allowing the same zeal, the same moderation, and the
Mine political principles, to influence our future conduct, which have procured
for us the co-operation of our friends, and the favour of the public, in our long,
iaobtmsire, and, we trust, useful career.
For the fii^ time in the annata of the Gentleman's M^azine, a charge nf libel
has been preferred against it ; and the proprietors have during the last six months
been subjected to the expense and vexation of appearing in a Court of Justice,
to vindicate themselves from the accusation. Upon this subject, however, we
shall say little : silence best becomes the successful party, and it is ungenerous
to tannt a feeble and vanquished enemy; but we may advert to the circum-
•tuce, as evidence that old age has not impaired our energies, and that, though
•crapolonsly carefiil to avoid wounding the feelings of others, we are as ready
U the most vigorous of our contemporaries to spealc the truth, and to repress
empirical arrogance.
One circumstance peculiarly characterises this volume, in the new feature
given to the work by the introduction of Classicai. coMSiiiNiCiTioNa. For this
idea we were indebted to a gentleman of profound learning ; who, unlike many
projectors, ha materiaiiy assisted ia carrying his own design into execution,
since many valuable papers on that subject are from his pen; and he has thus
itimnlated other correspondents to enter an arena which affords room for the
display of one of the highest branches of intellectual attainments.
In the political world changes have recently taken place of too important a
nature to he passed over in silence. To Ministers who governed the country
upon principles which, though acceptable to the wealthy and the powerful, be-
cwne ^ndually more and more obnoxious to less favoured classes, has succeeded
a Cabinet which may be cooaidered the representatives of Ubei^ o'^mvo&a.
iv PREFACE.
Their accession to office has as yet been too recent to be productive of more
than an abundance of flattering promises, from which we augur the happiest
results. Without ascribing to those personages all the qualities which their
adherents claim for them, the uniform consistency and high character of the
Premier, and the extraordinary talents of many of his colleagues, justify a re-
liance upon their capacity to remedy existing evils. For their dispontion to do so
there is this security, that as a Cabinet they owe their creation to public opi-
nion, and the moment they fail in realizing the just expectations they have
raised, by seeking support from the aristocraey instead of the people — by which
expression we mean the middle class — ^that moment will be the last of their
ministerial existence. Possessed, therefore, of the confidence of the country,
and powerful in the strength of their own talents, we feel justified in antici-
pating from their measures those improvements. which the effects of time, and
the progress of knowledge unperatively require. If those changes have not the
immediate result of producing all that could be desired, they will at least tend
to tranquillize the present agitated state of things, by imparting a unanimity of
feeling, and by causing the advocates of amendment to direct their hopes to
the legitimate quartet, instead of looking for the attainment of their wishes to
political meetings, which have too often produced that which they ostensibly
seek to prevent.
But the present Ministers excite hopes upon another and to us ex-
tremely interesting subject. It has long been a disgrace to England, that
Science and Literature receive slight encouragement from the Government,
compared with the fostering care which they meet with in other countries;
and for the want of which, in the present deteriorated state of the public
taste, standard Literature has almost disappe-ared, whilst in Science we
are far behind our continental neighbours. At no former period were there so
many persons in office who are known to the world by their literary produc-
tions ; and under the auspices of a Brougham and a Mackintosh, aided by
such of their colleagues as have sought that permanent fame which letters, and
letters only, confer, we are sanguine in believing that something worthy of so
literary an Administration will be done to remove this stigma from the national
character.
For ourselves we have little to add. It is our earnest intention to continue
in the path which we have trod, with 3tm but quiet steps, for an entire cen-
tury. We purpose, with the assistance of the proud list of patrons and friends
to whom we are so eminently indebted, to adhere to those principles, to promote
those valuable departments of knowledge, and to display that moderation and
consistency which have procured us the highest objects of human ambition — the
approbation of the good, and the applause of the wise*

MIKOR CORRESPONDENGE.
CtERicut says. *' An »ble charge hat
T»ren receotly delivered to the Clergv of the
p!o€ete of Hereford by Mr. Arciideaeon
Wetherell on the suhjeel of Church repairs.
With one item I wm i-articularly struck, and
think that it has so important a bearing upon
a very common act of barbarism in tht re-
pairs of our Churches, that it ought to hm
generally known. Every man of taste feelii
that to deprive a Gothic window of its muU
lioos and tracery, ia to spoil it» by makins a
mere pigeon hole of the orifice. T1ieArcK«
deacon observed, that under dceay of the
mullions it was very cnmmoD for a carpenter
to sabstitute mere oaken uprighu ; wlitreat
by obtaining only some free-stmie, a nionii-
menUl sculptor could easily aupply new md-
li«>ns in fac simile. He accordingly rtcom-
mends the Clergy to use their ntaaft ex-
ertions to prevent disfigurement rif the
Churches, in the particular alluded to, and
all others fas far as circumstances permit)
which imply unseemly and irrelevant iiintr-
vations. In my own case, I cm attest that
I stopi-ed the insertion of a common wooden
frame in a niudow of my own Church, and
caused a suitable one of Gothic muHionsi
accordant with the other windows in |)attern,
to l»e put up ; and that it was well executed
by a tomb-stone carver for the humble sum
of two guineas.*'
Various paragraphs hs\ ing appeared in some
daily Journals relative to the Articles of En-
quiry sent by direction of the Bishop of
London to the Churchwardens of each parish
within the Diocese, previous to the Viniu •
tion which he has lately holden ; we think
it but justice to his Lordship to state, that
we are informed upon good authority that
juch Articles are invariably sent to Church-
wardens previous to every Visitation, in con-
formity with the 1 1 9th Canon, and that those
now used are (with the exception of some
few omissions) the same as tht Articles
issued by the Archbishop of Cantcrburyi
and which were drawn up by two most emi-
nent civilians.
Miss Tate's Alms-houses at Mitcham
(of which we gave a vit w in nart i. p. fiOl)
were endowed by Miss Tate, for widows or
unuiarried women of respectable character,
and members of the Cnurch of England.
li is necessary that the women sliall have a
legal settlement at Mitcham, and they
should have resided there five years; be
fifty years old or upwards ; and not have
received parochial reiiif within five years of
thtir admission. There is no allowance for
fuel, nor any beyond three shillings a week.
Tlii preseDt trustets are the Vicar, the Rev.
J. H. Mapleton, Sir J. W. Lubbock, BarC
G. M. Hoare, esq. and W. Simpson, esq ;
liut Miss Tate has reserved the »ppointnsent
of the women during her own life.
Mr. Mauoen informs us, ** By the lil>e-
rality of Mr. Hamper, the tru»tees of the
British Museum are now in posnession of
another impression of the Evrtham seal,
which supplies tlie deficiencies of the one
noticed by me in your Magazine. Tlie word*
** AisT WAS swoN,'* (sec Part i. pp. a 10,
8.99.) are here so clear, as to leave no
donbt as to the |>n»priety of the legend,
which, I think, may now be consigned to
fiiturSty, without afiprehension of attracting
anj further commentaries on it."
In answer to the Inquiry of Eclecticds,
we l)eg to state, thsil? the panssge quoted by
the Reviewer of Moore*s Life of Byn»n,
p. 150, is takeA from a volume of posthu-
mous Sermons by the Rev. Dr. 'ames Lind-
say,, of Bow, a volume dibtinguisihed for the
elegauce of its style and for the elevated
tone of its piety. We believe it was printed
by suliscription.
A YoRK^^H nE Collector states, "It
must grati^ every collector of Topography
to be informed, that two plates were pub-
lished of the Scaffolding employed to re-
store Beverley Minister to its per|>endicular

Tlie other is a * Section of the Trusses and

both sides, the wall was cut to the centre,
level with the base of the said trussfs, that
it might give way upon the raising the
whole machinery, and so come into its place ;
and was in the mesn time sup|Mirted by se-
veral wedges, which were gradually taken
out as the building came Itack into its
place.' The prints very satis&cturily ex-
plain the uatuie of the machinery used,
which has always been much admired as a
most ingenious contrivance.

the yf.ir 5Q0. The same Judual is
railed Hoel ill. by some writers; he
extended his dominion, says M. Oe-
laporie, over nearly the whole of Bri-
tanny, which is panly accounted for
by his marriage wiih the heiress of
Ylli. He took the lille of king. The
historian just quotetl throws no light
on the n^arriage, but merely says, ** he
espoused Praielle, by whom he had
several children."
Jiidual died about 6S0. His son
and successor was the celebrated Judi-
cail, whom tradition represents as a .
match for the sloiKciit antagonist when
a boy, but who shines in history as a
very amiable character.* He married
Moron, daughter of Even, King of
Ach. One of his sons, named Arnec,
was bishop of the little diocese. It ■
seems that he resigned it in favonr of
St. Vigan, his neighbour. The legend
sjy^, that he promised him as much
territory as he couid traverse, while he .
himself was asleep. Arocc betook
himself to slumber, and Vigan mount-
ed his horse: but it was on the steeple
of St. Eloi, between Landerneau and
Lesneven ; and taking a spring from
thence, he traversed the whole of the
diocese in the air before Arnec awoke,
and it was accordingly ceded to him.
The kingdom appears to have revert-
ed to temporal princes, for Argan, or
Arastan, reigned in the timcofChar-
lemagne. (it might be an apanage.)
This prince accompanied Charles in
his expeditions, was distingui>hed as a
soldier, and fell at Roncevaux in 77B.f
His exploits were a favourite theme of
the Breton Troubadours. His succes-
sor was Prinitis, of whom nothing is
recorded, or indeed of any later sove-
reign.
It has escaped the keen antiquary of
Les Toureiles, that Ylli is a word
meaning a division, or something
parted o(F.| It is natural to suppose
that this little kingdom had been de-
tached from some other, and thence
obtained its name. Too insignificant
to be an object oT cu] i iity, and no
larger than an En^lisii ii(J)i(MiiHti*s

property, it may have experienced
more happiness than larger states,
where kings can only see with the
eyes of ministers. That it should have
remained unconquered in those turbu-
lent times, supposes patriotism in the
inhabitants, aflection towards their
chiefs, and a propitious course of cir-
cum!>taiices. The name of Trrgarari'
tec speaks hishly for the character of
the people, and is no trivial instance
of the value of etymology in coirobo-
rating history. It is |>03siblc that a
diligent search of the early Welsh
Bards may throw some light on the
events of this interesting little king-
dom, or on the names of its princes.
Cydweli.
Mr. Urban, Jw/y 20.
BEING resident bcttveen the Se-
vern and the Wve, 1 ha%'e often
observed the injury and inconvenience
sustained by the neighbourhood, for
want of a bridge over the Severn at
Newnham ; traxellers in carriages being
compelled to go round either by Glou-
cester or the Old Passage, from twenty
or more miles out of their way, if their
direction be the opposite populous
country, and the parts beyond. I have
therefore collected, for the information
of my neighbours, various matters con-
cerning bridges, which I think it may
be amusing and useful to lay before
the public, as they do not apply to a
particular ca^e only.
It is well known that the erection
of bridges has become so exceedingly
expensive, and so accompanied witn
heavy loss to the shareholders, that a
virtual prohibition exists to the in-
crease of such conveniences, except
at the public cost. Nevertheless, I l>eg
to premise, that 1 am not such a Vandal
{18 to object to stone bridges, chain
bridges, or any frs/ihinas, where they
can be afforded; only that where they
cannot be afforded, expense is not to
bo doctrinal against convenience; stones
;ind mortar ag.iinst ten per cent.; faci-
lity of conimunienlion, which aug-
ments conmierce and the value of es-
tate?, against mereoul«;icIc show. But
more money gained will cause money
lo be spent. The connlry, whifeh
has exhibited the best modes of en-
countering the difficulty is America;
and though many of their expedients
arc loo lude for adoption here, yet
there are others which mcri( attenliQ^i.: r

Bridge over the Severn at Nemnham.
[July;
as regards Newnhiin, it that no rocky
bottom it to be round, except at such
a depth that piles are astless, and the
•ubbtitule mutt he sunk rock ; and as-
to floating piers, there being no depth
of water, as in the Saint Lawrence, the
navigation of the river would be ini-
KKled, and falls, as at Old London
ridge, be created. " Dig till you
come to the solid ground,"* is certainly
an ancient and sound architectural
adage, and taking the main opening
(580 feel) of the famous Suspension
Bridge over the Menai for a standard,
three piers would be required. But,
whatever may be the hazard attached
to a sandy foundation, it is certain that
it has been counteracted without exca-
vation down to rock. Pliny (xxxvi. 14)
informs us, that the famous temple of
the Ephesian Diana was founded in a
marshy soil to guard against earth-
quakes, and that the foundations might
not be laid in slippery ground, ** calca-
tis ea [fundamenia] cjrbonibus, dein
velleribus lanoe, substravere ;'* i. e. they
underlaid the foundaliotit with trodden
C9ai§, afterwards with fleeces of wool ;
whence no doubt came the legend that
London Bridge was built u|M)n wool-
sacks. This temple was in existence
long after the time of St. Paul. Alex-
ander, when he wanted to pass the
Arosis, demolished the villages, and,
laying the materials on blocks of stone,
promptly formed a bridge. (Pratt's Q.
Curt. ii. 30). Nor does it appear to be
the fact, that where there is an inter-
vening artificial sound stratum, the
substratum beneath is of much mo-
ment, for Alberti says, you may light
upon a country like that of the Adria-
tic and Venice, where, under the eon*
fe«/t/ta, you can find almost nothing
ut . loose mud ( soiutu m Hmum ). ( De
re«difieat. fol. xxxii. b.) Our ances-
tors teem to have acted in this way by
making their starlings.
** The origiosl Cauodatioa of OU Loadon
Bridge appears to have been laid at lev wa-
ter, as the heads of the small piles were a
little above that level ; they were chiefly of
eln, and driven in three rows, all round the
sidce and ends of the plen, about six or
seven feet deep, and ten inches square, upon
an avenge. Between these piles a quantity
of loose rubble stones were laid without ce-
ment, and upon this were bedded three strong
sleepers, about 9 1 inches wide and 9 thick.
* '< At vetf res, quod fiMittum et felix tit,

This timber was perfectly sound after the
lapse of now above six eenturies, and proven
a strong practical instance of the preserva-
tion of wood under water, when uneaposadr
to the action of air.*'— i^rcA^so/. xxiii. 1 8.
In building our ancient bridges, the
custom was to turn the water-course,
make starlings, and upon them raisef
the piers ; and if they had sunk their
starlings to low- water level, and not
made their piers unnecessarily thick,
there would have been no (alls. It
does not appear, from the London or
Bristol old bridges, that they piled un"
der the starlings. (See Seyer's Bristol.)
Nor is it at all probable, quick as are
the sands of the Severn, and various'
other sands, that a superstructure raised
upon the hull of the Royal George, the
Rother-ship, or a Severn trow bedded
in sand, would subside much from the
superincumbent weight ; for Vauxhall
bridge has its piers laid in boxes. As
to the Severn, the experiment could
be easily made by examining the depth
to which the causeway on the Arling*'
ham side, use<l from time immemorial^
has subsided ; and furthermore, the ford
at low water for carriages has been
used from time immemorial, so that it
can never have been undermined, and
must be firm enough for a timber-
bridge, or an artificial bed of stone laid
upon it. In excavation, the A me*
r^can mode is twice as cheap as the
English, both in bridge and canal- *
making. Instead of human labour be-
ing employed in (/rggtng', ate;«m or two '
ploughs the surface with a very strong
plough, the men remove the earth as
last as it is turned up ; they then plough
ajcain, and so continue the process (if
the stratum be not rocky) till the job is
completed.
A briiige at Newnham, unless sop-
ported by Government (and in all na-
tions except this, such public works
are so supported,) is, however, not like-
\y to find patronage. The people of
Gloucester and the Old and New Pas-
sages, have a strong interest in op-
posing snch a measure ; but there is no
reasonable objection to a double-boat
ferry like that used at Philadelphia,
and the profits of such a convenience
might form a fair criterion as to the "
pruilence of ulterior measures. There
are turnpike roads in communicatioa '
on^ both sides, and no approaches re^
quired, nor acts of parliament, nor any '
outlay except that which does not re-
quire serious consideration. Indeed one

justihed in maintaining by analogy,
Ihat the pathos and dignity of his poel

But to return to Rosmunda, which
by the way was Alficri's favourite pro-
duction, although it is generally consi-
dered inferior to his other pieces.
Many persons who had never read the
Italian author, but who were in some
degree familiar with English history,
attended lUc Salie Favari, folly expect-
ing to see the enraged Queen of Henry
11. give full scope to her jealousy on
the beautiful Rosamond Clifford. It
IS, however, the daughter of a King of
Lombardy who is so called : she has
been comoelled to marry Alhoin, who
had murcfered her father ^ she has ex-
cited an officer named Amalchide to
dispatch him, and in recompense has
given him her hand, and the crown of
Lombardy. A Iboin has left a daughter
by his first wife; she is named Ro-
milda, and Rosmunda discovers that
her husband Amalchide has fixed his
affections on her, while she is devoted
to Ildovaldo. Rosmunda wishes to
have her step-daughter assassinated,
and being unable to accomplish that
cruel purpose, she at last dispatches her
with her own hand. Ildovaldo and
Amalchide, like most rivals, are in full
effervescence; and to render the con-
flict of their passions more intricate,
Amalchide is indebted to Ildovaldo
for having saved his life in battle.
When the lovelv object of their strife
It lost to them both, by the vindictive
Queen's violence, Ildovaldo kills him-
self in despair; while Amalchide ut-
ters threats of direful vengeance, to
which the Queen replies, by pointing
to her victim.
According to the chroniclers of Lom-
bardv, the Queen had given her hus-
band a poisonous draught; but Amal-
chide having discovered the faul qua-
lity of the hquor, when he had swal-
lowctl only half, he compelled-his wife
to finish It, and thus deprived her of
the satisfaction of surviving him.
The part of Amalchide was per-
formed by Paladini; that of Ildovaldo
by Colomberti ; Rosmunda was repre-
seoted by Signora Internari, and Ro-
miJdM by Signora Bclloni.
[Juty,
They are classed among the leading
performers of their country, and their
respective parts were executed with
considerable dignity and propriety.
Their well-accentuated pronunciation,
their grave delivery, and the bold lan-
guage of the piece, formed a striking
contrast with the insipid jingling of
the iibretti usually produced at this
theatre. If the performances do not
present any striking feature of excel-
lence, we must bear in mind the great
disadvantage under which the Italian
drama labours : every person of talent
IS drawn to the Opera by the exclusive
patronage which that species of repre-
sentation enjoys. Madame Pasta is an
illustration of this case; she has clearly
shewn on many occasions, that if her
fine voice had not placed her on an
eminence as a caniairice, she would
have shone as an actress. Zucchelli
and Pelligrini are also as interesting by
their acting, as by their singing ; and
we may fairly presume that the appear-
ance of a few siart would produce re-
sults to the Italian drama, similar to
those which the genius of Garrick and
Kemble, Lekain and Talma, has ef-
fected on the London and Paris boards.
■ La Casa Disahitata was well adapted
to rcfmote the ennui occasioned by the
tragedy. The narrative is founded on
the ingenuity of a steward, who, wish-
ing to enjoy the use of a house which
the proprietor is desirous of selling,
plays ihe part of a ghost to deter pur-
chasers. A poor poet passes the night
there, and with a pistol convicts the
ghost of substantiality. This piece is
very lively, and abounds with sallies of
wit ; from its reception it will no doubt
be again represented. Taddei, who
performed the part of the poet, was full
of humour, and kept the house in a
continued roar of lauj^hter by his lu-
dicrous pantomime. It is related tliat
when this piece was performed at Tu-
rin in 1824, before the Queen of Sardi-
nia, a gentleman was sent to desire the
pistols miehi not be fired. The order
was complied with ; but instead of sub-
stituting a sword, the poet used an un-
loadetl pistol, and the ^host fell wounded
notwithstanding! The manager was
not so ready as the mountebank, who,
having no fire arms, announced that
the battles in his booth would be fought
with swords and staves, instead of mus-
kets, for fear of alarming ike ladies.

On the fnviniion of Lettert.
[July,
Law were ddit ered before Moies wrote
thb PenUteuch, and if some knowledge
of letters had not existed previonsly to
that period, the legislator would scarcely
have been able to understand what was
there written, except by immediate in-
spiration ; and he expresses nothing of
thai surprise and pleasure which would
certainly have been elicited if those
tables had contained the first alphabe-
tical writing he had seen. But the
circumstance is related with much ele-
gance as an ordinary transaction tit
this respect. The Tables were delivered
into the hands of Moses for the express
use of the people of Israel* in a manner
which intimates that Letters were not
unknown to them.
The general knowledge and use of
letters amongst the Hebrews, is not
derived, however, merely from impli-
cation, but is -plainly ancf explicitly de-
clared. They are directed by God
himself to teach the written Law to
their children ; and to write it them'
selves on the gates and posts of their
houses*. Now from the slow progress
which this species of knowledge made
amongst other peoples and nations, it
can scarcely be admitted that Mosea
was the first inventor of letters, be-
cause we have direct evidence to prove
that the Israelites perfectly understood
their nature and application almost
immediately after the tables were deli-
vered ; and their rapid advances in this
art would otherwise be highly impro-
bable, and almost rise to an impossibi-
lity. The miraculous intervention of
the Deity in this case cannot be ad-
mitted, because the writings of Moses
do not contain the most obscure hint
to sanction such an hypothesis ; and if
the legislator and the people had been
divinely instructed in the use of letters,
it must follow that an endowment so
extraordinary and beneficial would
have merited a peculiar specification,
equally with the gift of tongues con-
ferred on the Apostles of Jesus Christ.
But the Hebrew language had arrived
at a degree of perfection which has
never been exceeded ; and Moses ac-
tually quotes a pusage from an exist-
ing; written record, called " the book
ofthe wars of the Lord.''i<>
If Moses were the inventor of let-
ters, we should be at a loss to account
for the high degree of learning and ci-
* Deut. c. vi. V. 9.

vilization which the Egyptians un-
doubtedly possessed," altnough i t wasi
strongly impregnated with superstition,
at from this source he derived his
early instruction;" and it is doubtful
whether all this extensive wiadom and
knowled^, in which they surpassed
every nation in the world,^' could have
been communicated and acquired in
that abridged period of human ex-
istence, but by the aid of letters.
'*The very old Egyptians used to write
on linen things which they designed
should last lon^ ; and those characters'
continue to this day, as we are assured
by those who have examined the
mummies %vith attention. Is it unna-
tural to imasine that Moses, who was
learned in all the arts of Egypt, wrote
after this manner on linen ?'i^ And
does it not hence follow that writing
was one of the arts of Egypt, before
the time of Moses ?
The inscription lefl on a column by
the Phoenicians, whom Joshua drove
oat of Canaan,^* must prove that they
were acquainted with certain intel-
ligible characters to express their ideas,
which had been reduced to such adis-
tind and regular form, as to be under-
stood in after a^.^' And this consi-
deffttion makes it clear that letters were
DOC a new invention in the time of
Jothoa. For though it be affirmed
that the knowled^ of writing was re-
vealed to Moaes in its utmost perfec-
tion, yet it will scarcely be urged that
these nations, miserably sunk in ido-
latry, could so soon have reaped the
benefit of that revelation. The inter-
course between the Phoenicians and
the Hebrews had hitherto been so li<^

was the (ante with Jobab king of
Edom,:*a[ is ihe opinion of Alstcdius,"
be was the son of Zcrah of [laira, ihe
grandson of Esau ; and of course lived
some Dgei before the time of MoiE*.
And this conjecture, ai to the time of
Job, is rendered very probable, became
his friend Eliiihai, who is lepreienied
as a venerable old man. Is laid by
Moses^ lo be the eldest son of Eiau.

Hence, whether Job wrote this book
himself, or left materials behind him
in a visible form, relating the principal
events of his calamitous life, he must
have been acquainted with the art of
writing, otherwise his record would
not have been intelligible to posterity;
and all the theories of learned men on
the origin of this book, do not contain
the slightest hint that it was trans*
mitted through the medium of oral
tradition. Job, in the paroxysm of hit
anguish and complaint exclaims, " O,
that my words were now written ! O,
that mine adversary had written a
bookr*^" These exclamations can
imply nothing less, than that writing
was practised in the time of Job ; for
language will scarcely furnish a name
for an art or science quite unknown ;
and this art is referred to by Job in a
familiar manner, as if his friends were
perfectly acquainted with it. It is very
strongly presumed that this book was
written oy Moses before the Deliver-
ance, because no allusion whatever is
made to that miraculous event. Now
if this book had been a subsequent
composition of the great Lawgiver, and
written during the |[)eriod when the Is-
raelites sojourned in the wilderness,
some reference to, or illustration of the
circumstances attending their protract-
ed wanderings, would have been in-
evitable. And Gray, in his preface to
Schuiteus on this book, explicitly as-
serts that it was composed by Moses
during his residence with Jethro in
the land of Midian, Jrom ancient re»
cords in the custody, most probably, of
his father-in-law, to comfort his afflict-
ed brethren during their captivity in
Hgypt. And this would be many years
before the promulgation of the written
law. Geo. Oliver.

Mr. Urban, Shaftethury, June 26.
IN the following fugitive fragment
is a trait so fraught with genuine
goodness, that I am induced to request
you to place it upon record.
As the late Rev. William Douglas,
Chancellor of the diocese of Salisbury,
was returning to the palace of the ve-
nerable prelate his father, (the sun
shining with effulgence, no cooling
zephyr even in the shade,) he perceived
on the high road the most lamentable
^* Job, c. xtx. V. 33. 1 c. %%x\. v. bb.
motion of a fellow creature, wending
his lonely way, slowly and sorrowfoliji
with parched tongue and wounded feet^
that ever the eye of pity glanced upon.
The name of a sailor sounded in the
ear of this christian divine like the
name of a friend, and after the strictest
interrogatories he found the object be*
fore him to be faithful and honest in
his report. This quickened a lambent
flame of benevolent generosity in hit
heart, and, very unlike the Jew of o)d«
" who passed by on the other side ef
the way" he ordered his sermnt to
alight, and stepping out of his carriage,
desired them both to enter, and he
would drive. I saw their approach to
the city ; the gates of the palace toon
closed on them, and a worthy defender
of our shores was thus hospitably re-
ceived I but he had not been used to
march, and for a time he sank under
it ; and even amidst nil comfort, where
the ever bountiful hand of Providence
had conducted him, he would rather
have been on the turbulent bosom of
that ocean and with those comrades
where his courageous heart was ceo<«
tered.
I next saw him. Sir, ascend the steps
of the portico of the Council House at
Salisbury, and stand by the portly fi-
sure of his benefactor, who with his
fine and sonorous voice had called
" Bassctt *' from the immense crowd
assembled to witness the ceremonial of
presenting the city's freedom to the
Hero of the Nile, in his progress, with
a numerous retinue, to the Abbey of
Fon thill. When introduced, the vete-
ran was immediately recognized by
Lord Nelson, as one of those daring
and brave men who would either van-
uish or die, and who was under his
ag " when glory like a dazzling eagle
stood"* on the brow of the veteran,
and when ** Egypt's groans and cries^t
had aroused his country to effect her
deliverance.
After his introduction to his Lord-
ship, he descended the steps of the
portico again, and, mingling with the
crowd, with a light heart exhibited
" the King's picture in ^old,** a present
from the Admiral to drink his Majes-
ty's health.
He was afterwards employed by his
benefactor in the garden of his vicarage
at Gillingham, Dorset.

111(130). He should hare shown that

He should have shown ihat the verbs
are nit in Ihepoiaense: and that since
" glorified,'" the highest link In the
ascending chain of verbs, la an aorist,
and joined with Ihree oihcr words, all
having an altnsion to past etenls, ihe
pasSiige fails altogriher in promoting
the Calriniilic hyj»the>i>, since it can-
not, merely lo coincide wilh ihal hj-
poihesis, be made to look forward in-
slead of backward. Finally, he should
hare piven in ihc passaee wilh a para-
pliraslic reading, agreeahly lo the pre-
ceding solution, in some aui^h iiiotle as
ihls: Those In nhnm it was fore-or-
dained by God ihai the Gospel should
be made known. He has now actoallj
called ; and those whom He has called
He has jnsliEied, (i, e. ulaccd in a stale
of juslificaiion by bapiism), and ihose
whom Hehas jusliRed he has glorified
by His gruce. and all ihe other privi-
leges of the Gos])el Covenant.'' Bishop
Bird Sumner, at p. 39, quotes some
pnssflHcs from the New Teslsnient,
which he iliiiiks" convey the idea of
appoinlment''[on God's pan, and con-
sctiuenlly that ihev appear In favour
ptcdestinalion]. Now, as a scholar
and divine. Bishop Bird Sumner, one
would suppose, might have known
that it is ihe Intntlalion ontif of Ihote
paiiiiges, and not the passages Mens-
jrlvei, that come within ihc Calvinis-
tic ohliqui\y oF vision. For example;
the Bishop quotes " The Lord added
to ihc Church such asshouM be saved.''
Ifiihe intended that this addition to
the Church being made by " Me Lord,''
favours Cakinisni, ihe argument is
conlemplible j for " every oilier good
and perfect gift is of ibc'Lotd ;" and
if il be contended that the words "such
as ihould be saved " implies a peraooal
election losalvaiion, il betrays a blame-
able carelessness as lo the Greek, wliere
ihe expression <rv^a^'mu( being a par-
ticiple of the present and imperfect in-
dicative mood, cannot imply anything
proiptclive or decreed le te: and, in-
stead of being translated " such as
jAdu/J be saved,'' ought to have been
translalcd" such as nier* saved" — ihat
is, such as were placed by bapiism,
faith, and repentance, in an incipient
slate of salvation 1 which, as aT/^ll(,H■3s,
subiequentlf. to he " worked out."

Bird Suinnei is, " Ai titan') u wett «i-

Om Bishop SumnerU ** Jpottolie PreachingJ'
[July;
he mrght have known, and should have
exphiined, that Ti7»/Jiiifoi does not, in
the Greek, presuppose anything like an
mbsolote decree, or any decree at all,
but simply *' dispoted*' or *' prepared ;**
i. e. they were disposed in their minds
for the reception of the Gospel, by the
fyreaching of Paul and Barnabas. Be-
aides, the Bishop, by adhering impli-
citly to the English, has falsely placed
the punctuation ; and thereby added to
the supposed Calvinislic tone of the
pesssge. The English Tcrsion sunds
as if the Greek |)assage had stood in
this construing order— rf7«/]tAfvoi tU ^''^9
ettttnof, whereas the punctnaiion of the
Greek should place it in the follow-
ing construing order — ivirtvauf tU ^«»V
oZofyiov ; it should be so distinguished
by the commas, as that tU i»tnf majy con*
nect with the verb, not the participle,
thus : ivlrtvaekff oaoi iamv Tf7a7pryo»,
tk ^wt!y aUifwv ; that is, as many of
them as were prepared, [or collected
together t for the Hebrew of Exod. xxix.
33, is rendered by some rclrlofMu, and
by the LXX. ^vfciyu] believed in for
firofessed their belief in] everlasting
ife. Viewed thus. Bishop Bird Sum-
ner's idea of the Calvintstic aspect of
this passage appears not well founded.
In the next quotation which the Bishop
adduces, his fears of a Calvinistic con-
stniction would make it appear that
he was only an English reader of the
scriptures, orthat he thought the clergy,
whom he addresses, such. He quotes
from Jude thus: ** Certain men had
crept in unawares, who were before of
old ordained unto this condemnation/'
He would have helped our anti-Cal-
vinistic cause much more, had he, in-
stead of abiding by the received ver-
sion, shown, as is attempted in the
passages above explained, its utter in*
correctness, TlaXen v^yfy^a/iA/uifyoi is in-
correctly translated "before ordained."
Now the Bishop seems to think, from
his citation of this passage, that the
doom of these persons had been of old
written in the book of fate ; whereas
vdXeu v^ty^aijijjiifot refers only to the
punishment of such characters having
been predicted nf old in the scriptures.
Really, writers should be more cau-
tious. One j-egrets to find a man of
Bishop Bird Sumner's abilities treating
of prescience and predestination as sy-
^obycns (p. 89). M uch of the error on
-lliit subject has arisen from this very
ifusibn of terms.
The Calvinistic errors do not require
the dull, prosing, abstract reasoning
Bishop Bird Sumner has adopted ; but
a^tritical and learned exposure of texts
which have been divorced from thelf
contexts, and dragged into the aervice
of irrespective decrees and other irra-
tional and unscriptural follies, which
set the Word of God at variance with
the Word of God. His style betrays a
want of that critical nicely, witlKHM
which no man will combat either CaU
vinists or Unitarians successfully. Hia
diction abounds in carelessnesses like
these passim : He talks of resting
on a reliance, p. 3 ; of a superiority of
one part of the service above the other>
p. 4 ; and of being bound by an obli-
gation, p. 30. These and numerous
other tautologies remind one of the ex-
pression used bv the other Bishop Sooi-*
ner [of Wincnester], in one of his
Charges '* the lucre of gain" : and this
again reminds me of the man who
tnought the calmness of a walk by ere*
puscular twilight tended to smooth the
rough asperities of life I Bishop Bird
Sumner gravely quotes Baxter (p. 6, 7^
8), who, in a ridiculous passage, in
which he talks of congregations being
fullr and calls inns ar^ alehouses fa*
mities, enlarges on the delightfulness
of " 100 families singing psalms and
repeating sermons in the streets of a
country town on Sundays 1 ! '* Does
Bishop Bird Sumner really wish to see
such results flow from a zealous and
able discharge of the clerical duties }

Mr. Urban, May 10.
I OFFER you an attempt to explain
a further portion of one of the Pro*
phets, who has much engaged my at-
tention lately.
In this, the assurance, too strong
and plain to be mistaken, that Je-
rusalem is to be occupied again by
the scattered of Israel, the prediction
of another siege, and of the prowess of
the Jews, who have long ceased to be
a military peofde, their eventual con-
viction that it was really the Lord of
Life whom their ancestors nailed to
the cross, and their ^rief on the dis-
covery, are topics which, I trust, may
render this essay interesting, however
feeble and imperfect the execution.

was fbdndi which is not uncommou,
with its base or small end upwarilt.
The coarse cloth in which the bonea
were usually deposited, wat entirely
decayed, but the pin or bran faitcninjc
(also repmenied aboTe) wat in good
preserTation. The bones were whtic
and well biinird.
The difliculty of procuring perfect
specimens of thcte rude funeral vessels
of our aiiceilora is wry great, Mag

imagine, hakeJ only in the sun ; (bey

inusl be exerted to prevent ilieir fall-
ing to pirces. Chalk aeenit to pretene
them best, for [ hate never been able
to remove those in a perfect iiate,
which I bare diicoveieil in clay or
sand. It mny not be out of place, if
I here reii>:iik tluit these urns are often
miscalli-d Koinan, Danish, &c. when
our prcieni kiiowletlge of pottery and
irpulchral remain* may more prO|)etly

urn* I have acen have been made of
much belter materials, and appear to
have bren turned with a luihe.
I would wish to ask any of your
learned corres[)ondcnt*, if they inia-
gine the British ever burned iheir
dead befoie the Romans invaded this
couniry. From my own observation*,
1 slinuld S3y it was a forni borrowetl
from I he Unmans; and [ conceive those
tumuli in which we iind ihe skeletons,
wiih ilags' horns, the bones of dogs,
birds, ice, 10 be the most ancient form
of burial th^t was adopted in this island.
We geiierally Rud these remains at tlie
lowest part of the tumulus, and the
urns eithrrin tht; centre or at the side;
and in aoine It kVould apiieat that lh«
urni were placed little more than Just
under the turf; aod indeed in many
places 1 have sven well burned bonea
covered only with a stone, not more
th.in a foot under ground, and where
there has not been the leiul shadow of
an urn. There has never, 1 believe,
been any regular numberof urn* found
ot SO, in other* only one or iwo. May
we not suppose that, during the fre-
quent batiks which the Koniani muat
have had with the Britiih, the Biiti»h
burned their alain after the Itoinan
cuilom. and put their bones in these
rude urns, placing them in the tumuli

which is a plainly carrml Gothic arch ;
liere is no piscina a<ijoining, which
frcqaently is che case. A specimen hsT-
ing the three stalls and piscina may be
seen at Cockayne Hatley, in this county.
At the fool of the steps leadinc from
the altar, are several slabs of blue
stone, which have contained plates with
inscriptions and other devices, bat most
of them bemg mutilated there are no
inscriptions now hepble.
' In the centre of the chancel, but at
some dSttance from the altar, is an im-
mense blue slab^ beins 1 1 feet 6 inches
long, and 5 feet 6 incncs wide, which
obvers the remains of the John Rodyng
before mentioned, and which has the
following imperfect inscription. Those
ivrts which are included in hrackeis
are now torn oft', and are supplied from
Browne Willis, who supposes Uiat this
monument was placed here in the life*
tioDcof Rudyng, before he obtained his
other preferments. On a scroll in black
letter, is the following couplet :
<« Qustnor O SMieti me Bedford ArchilevI-

There were fire other lines origi-
nally, but these were torn oflf when
Browne WUlis saw the monument.
Near the top of the stone was a large
bcass plate, equal in its dimensions to
one at the bottom. At the man*s side
the figure of Death still remains. The
brass at the bptioin is inscribed with
the following curious dialogue, inclosed
in lines aliernatety raised and sunk:
" Tu fcra Mt»rt quid agts humane prodiga

Nearly opposite to the pulpit, in the
middle of the nave, is a stone, with
brasses inlaid, of one William Halsted,
originally having a wife on each side
of him : the husband is decollated.
One of the wives is inhumanly torn
from his side, and the other being on
the right of him, has Zlitia on her
right shoulder, and the following in-
scription at their feet:
•' Hie jaeent Will'ms Halsted, qui obiit
XXX die Januarii, Anno D*ni MCCCCXUX«.
£l Isabella ac Alicia uxoret ei*de
...... quor' a'i'ab* p'pciet* de, Am'e."
Very near to the last, is another thus
inscribed :
** Exuviae Reverendi Georgii Gibson,

veros et fidelia fiiit, sacro muoere fungendo

Another has:

In the south aile is a handsome
marble monument, inclosed with iron
rails (which have been permitted to
fall into a most disgraceful condition),
to the memory of Sir Thomas Brom-
sall,, who was sealed at Stratton in this
parish, which is thus inscribed :

" One of the iDlaiictioDf given by the
Couoeil of Edwsrd Vl. to the CommiMionert
MDt about tha Idngdooiy for tha piurpote of
ftforoMtioOy WM thit— •-' That all ringing
with hdj balls (and befora tha Reformation,
all church ballty tave one, were baptived or
. eonteerated) to drive awaj derilsy and all
ringing or kaowling of balls, mm one, should
be utcerlj forborne. This prompted the
avarice of chnrchwardanst or parishes at
large, to dispose of all their bells, save one,
(vhich, for the same reason, was sure to be
the least) as useless and superstitious.' But
the fondness for the chcerfol sound of a peal
of bells graduallj returnbg upon the people,
the ancient complement was restored."
At ihis period, or under EliEtbeth,
therefore, I date the destruction of all
the Saiut*s Bells in the kingdom of the
brger kind— that is, such as were not
hand bells.
I have hinted at one bell often found
in our ecclesiastical structures, and
; which was not consecrated. This bell,
I have reason to think, never hung
among the peal in the tower, but in a
lone recess like the Saint*s Bell, and
had no such inscription around it as
others had. It was the bell used upon
all secular occasions ; was the alarm-
bell in cases of fire, or approach, per-
ad venture, of an invading enemy.
From Stnw's Annals, p. 286, and
other works, it seems there was such a
bell in London, before Henry in.*s
reign, and I am well assured that such
a bell was very common throughout
the kingdom. The large bell in Tong
Church, heretofore mentioned, was,
perhaps, more likely to have been this
bell than the passing bell. The latter
had commonly "ora pro nobis," in-
scribed upon It. Were this without
inscription, I should certainly pro-
,nounce it the secular bell, used upon
Tarions occasions of festivity, or rather
parish business.

siastioal Antiquary to be informed that the
small turrets frequently attached to chorehea,

cline inserting our oorrespondent's letter on
that sub|ect.— Edit.
Mr. Urbaw, July 23.
AS your Magazine contains much
information respecting York Ca-
'••dral^ and abounds with judicious
advice and admonition on various sub-
jects of *' architectpral innovation,** I
hope you. will give publicity to the fol-
lowing appeal to the subtchlferi for re-
huilding the Choir of that Church. Itsla-
menuble conflagration excited a strong
sympathy, and very painful emotions
in every admirer of that sacred, splen-
did, and truly national edifice. It was
.one of the most memorable events in
the modern history of our Cathedrals;
for, although these noble piles were
frequently destroyed, or greatly injured
by fire; bjr the wanton batterv and
varied spoliation of the Pagan Danes,
and by other ruth lest warriors, in for-
mer times, they have suffered little,
but from neglect and misdirected im-
provements, since that horrid epoch of
civil warfare during the Cromweliian
era. Some of our modem innovators,
the officious and tasteless improvers on
genuine Christian architecture, have
certainly inflicted severe injury on too
many of our sacred piles: but it is
generally believed that better feeling^,
and better taste now prevail— ^that even
those who neither know much of, or
care much about the real beauty and
true spirit of ecclesiastical architecture,
pay some deference to public opinion,
and are more influenced by dread
of censure, than solicitous to deserve
praise. I am induced to make these
remarks, in consequence of hearing
that, amonfc the projected alterations
in York Cathedral, it is proposed to
take down and remove th»organ ecreen.
The bare mention of such a deed-r
such a misdeed — is almost enough to
call up the ghost of the late John Car-
ter. Were he living, he would buckle
on hit armour and poise his lance in
defence of that most beautiful, most
interettinff, most sumptuous piece of ar-
chitectural design anci sculptural adorn-
menu. He, like a Knight Templar of
old, would desert his home, his do-
mestic health, and all its comforts to
guard the sacred temple of his adora-
tion and devotion. He would watch
it by day, as well as night, and at^a^Jk
any Saracen, Turk, or Gofh, (hat dared
to violate its holy shrine. Alas ! " the
days of chivalry *' are fled — fanaticism
prevails, and one of its high priests has
fired the Cathedral now alUided to.
He is pronounced mad by a jury, and
sentenced to linger and rant in a vul-
gar crypt. Other fanatics, however,
still roam at large, to the annoyance
of good sense and good tast^. Some of
these, for nothing less than fanaticism.

[July.
of Spalding School was conferred upon
him by his College. And when we cou-
tider his extreme youth, the commis-
sion of so important a trust implies a
high opinion both of his scholarship
and steadiness. In this situation Bent-
ley continued only a year, insomuch
that during his lifetime it was very lit-
tle known that our great Aristarchus
had ever filled such a post. Had the
junto of wits who combined their ef-
forts to bring down this Goliath, got a
knowledge of this circumstance, they
would have been but too happy to have
added '* pedagogue " to their constant
appellation of " pedant." The want
of a house of residence at Spalding,
however, soon induced Bentley to re-
sign the school for a situation as private
tutor to the son of Dean Stilliiigileet.
He was too, we suspect, much influenc-
ed by that long-tight which minds of
such a calibre as Beniley's usually pos-
sess, and which was so remarkable in
One who bore no small resemblance to
Bentley, Dr, S. Parr, He, no doubt,
saw that such a post would consign
him to uerpctual and hopeless obscu-
riiv; whereas the situation with Dean
Stillingfleet gave him some chance of
making his merits known, and advanc-
ing himself in life. Had he continued
at Spalding, he would probably have
been a Richard Johnson rather than a
Richard Bcnlley ; and some grammati-
cal commentaries, or splenetic efibsions
of hypercriticism against his more for-
tunate compeers, would have probably
been all that he would have produced.
In truth, the very crisis of his fate for
life turned on the pivot of his accep-
tance or rejection ofthis situation with
the Dean, where he enjoyed the use of
one of the best private libraries in the
world, with the improvement which
was sure to be derived from the society
of one of the most learned men in Eu-
ro|)e. Bentley took his M.A. degree at
the usual time, and then, for some years,
his connection with the University ter-
minated ; the Dean in whose family he
lived residing principally in London.
During thin |)eriod, he prosecuted his
studies with every advantage, and no
doubt laid up much of those treasures
of knowledge from which, in after
times, he so readily drew forth, like the
prudent householder in the parable,
** things new and old." At this time,
too, though his chief attention was de-
voted to Classics, yet he bestowed a
coosiderable share of study on Theo-
hgy andTthe Criticism of the New Tes-
tament, and in order thereto applied
himself closely to the Oriental laa-
guages, and formed for his own use a
sort of Hexapla, out of the varioot
interpretations of Hebrew words ia
the ancient versions, and also wrote a
quarto volume of various readings and
emendations on the Hebrew text, de-
rived from those versions, which (as
we think) in the immaturity of his
judgment, Bentley then appreciated
too nighly ; being, we suspect, an An-
tiponciuist, and therefore no very
sound Hebraist. The advances Bentley
had made at that early age are the more
remarkable, when we consider that he
enjoyed none of those aids which are
now so well adapted to smooth the path
of the Classical and Biblical student.
Grammatical learning was then very
imperfectly known, and there was
moreover a great want of good lexicons
and indexes, which supply such valoa-
ble assistance to the scholars of the pre-
sent day. But Bentley, in reliance on
his own exertions, and drawing from
his own resources, struck out an origi«
nal path in criticism, in which his own
consummate sagacity and subiilty of
genius enabled him to obtain unrivalled
pre-eminence.
In order to effect the important pur-
poses in view, he did not rely on his
memory (which, unlike the case of his
predecessors Scaliger and Salmasius,
and his successors Porson and Parr, was
not extraordinary), but on the habit
which he practised through life, of not-
ing down (usually in the margin of his
books) the thoughts which suggested
themselves to his mind. Nay, he even
formed for his own use indexes of va-
rious authors; a course, by the way,
which was diligently followed by the
mighty critics and philologists of the
Dutch school. Bentley did not (from
the unsettled state of the^Church in the
reign of James II.) enter into holy or-
ders till some years after the usual age.
But, upon his patron Dean Stillinff-
fleet being promoted to the Bishoprick
of Worcester, he took Deacon's oraere,
March l6th, 1689-gO, from the Bishop
of London, and was appointed Chap-
lain to his Patron. He a little before
had accompanied his pupil James Stil-
lingfleet, to a residence in Wadham
College, Oxford, as his private tutor,
and was incorporated M.A. of that
University. Here he resided some time
under very favourable circdmstances ;
his connection with the Bishop of
Worcester having introdaced him to
Bbhop Monk'n Life of Soitby.

the enerytyof hit mind. He never actually
brought out any one of these writers,
JeaTina Philosiratos to Olearius, and
Hesychius to Alberti ; but his appara-
tus of critical remarks on the two last
were very valuable to the above editors
aome years afterwards. Bentley was
now (lGg2) appointed Boyle's Lecturer,
and the subject of the discourses was a
Confutation of Atheism, in opposition
to Spinoza and Hobbes, whose perni*
cious principles, thouah they had been
ably combated b^Cudworth and Cum-
berland, yet required to be assailed in
tome more popular and effective man-
ner.

In the course of this work BentW
availed himself of the aid of Newton^
immortal discoveries in philosophy,
Jind indeed was the first to make tnem
known to the world. To do this the
more successfully, he corresponded
much with Newton himself, and was
aided by many valuable suggestions
from him, so that, as our Biographer says^

' Before the year was over, Bentley

This year Bentley com meneed a corres-

i^rsevius of Utrecht, the most distin*
guished scholar of his time; which
continued until the death nf'Grsvius.
All their letters are preserved, and are
highly interesting, on various accounts.
Graevius had now in hand an edition
of Callimachus, to which Spanheim
furnished an ample Commentary, and
Bentley a full collection of the frag^
ments dispersed in various authors^
more than doubling those of former
editors, and evincing a learning and
critical acumen equalto that of almost
any of his productions. In iCQi-^,
Bentley was appointed Keeper of Ihe
King's Library, at a salary of 2001, a
year, then a considerable sum» InlGgi,
he was summoned to preach his second
course of Boyle*s Lectures. His subject
was the defence of Christianity against
the objections of infidels. These werk
unfortunately never given to the world,
and in whose possession the MS. now
is. Dr. Monk has never been able to
discover. Amidst these engagement I
and this rising fame, Bentley became in-
Tolved in that dispute which forms a
prominent feature in hit life, the Cbn-
iraveny on the Episties of Phalaris.
The origin and progress ol this is de*-
tailed with gi^ai perspicuity and abi*
h'tv by our Biographer. We knonv not
whether we shall make it fully under-
stood to the reader in the following
slialit sketch.
This dispute had its Origin in the
controversy concerning the respective
merits of the Ancientsand the Modems,
in which Fontenelle and Perrank stre-
nuously, but incauiioutly, maintained
the superiority of the Moderns ; while
Sir W.^ Temple as stiffly maintained
the claims of the Antients: running
into the opposite extreme, by claiming
for them a superiority In every depart*
ment, not only in aenius and taste, but
In philosophy and science. His ren^
soning is, however, inconclusive, his
views shallow, his credulity ridiculoos,
his manner too dogmatical ; and his
whole work savours more of a College
declamation than a calAn enquiry.
However, it was mubh read and ap*
ofauded, even by Boilean and Racine ;
out the imperfections of the disquisi-
tion became apparent to unprejudiced
and cool thinkers. Tliis induoed Woi-

THE following trifles are at your
service, and you will not expecY
better from me : parvum parva decent.
I. Damm*s Lexicon Homericum et
Pindaricum,
Your correspondent R. S. Y. in the
Number for April, p. 2Q2, desired to
know in what estimation Damm*8
Lexicon was held bv scholars. I can
only say to this worthy TiTtJsTATius
(Cic. adHer.'iv, \2), that I frequently
use the work myself, and always derive
much information from it. Those
who do not possess a copy of Eusta-
THius's Commenlariet on Horner^ will
find the substance of his explanations
in Damm*8 work. My worthy friend^
the Rev. H. Hunting ford, B. D.
has published an edition of Pindar^
with Damm*8 Pindaric Lexicon, sepa-
rated from the Homeric; ** Lexicon
Pindaricum ex integro Dammii Opere
Etymologico excerplum, et justa Serie
dispositoro, Editio altera,*' 1831, 8vo.
The book was published for the use of
Winchester school, and is dedicated to
Dr. Gabell. He happily selected the
following motto: ** uaumii Lexicon
Homerico" Pindaricum f Berol. 17()6,
opus Herculei laboris, in quo utinam

gasaet!'* Hxthb*s Prt^. ad Find.

n. Viia Clarorum Anglice Phihla^
gorum.
R. S. Y. in vour June Number,
p. 487. asks, •• Why have not we our
own FUce Clarorum Philologorum, as
scholars on the continent have theirs ?**
I reply that I sympathise with hint
in this feeling. 1 have long been de-
sirous to supply the (/f5t(/era/um; I have
made some preparations towards fill-
ing up the vacuum, and I believe that
aoooec or later he will sjee the design
S^
with an enigma, where all the words
required are palindromes.
The answers will be easily disco-
vered.

Their iniiials connected, a title will fnimt.
That is justly the due of the fair married
dame,
Which backwards and forwards is always the

Another invention is, that of verses
that may' be read either forwards or
backwards ; and in the laiier case, ge-
nerally meaning quite the reverbc of
the apparent sense, and including
sarcasm or satire. This sort was some-
times called Verse Lyon, and Sidonius
is said to have invented it, or to have
made frequent use of it. The follow-
ing lines have hern frequently quoted
ai specimens of the style, written in
praite of Pope Clement VI. or Pius II.
but of which, learned authorities are
not quite agreed. It seems, the poet
was afraid he might not obtain the re-
ward that he deserved in his own esti-
mation, and therefore retained the
)iower of converting his flattery into
abuse, by simply givmg his friends the
cue, to read from the last word back-
wards.

Mr. Urbaf, Penzance, June, •
IN the biography of Dr. Stieyd Da-
vies, an<r in that of Mr. Phelpt,
mntained ia the first volume of Mi-
choU's "Illustrations of Literature,"
and written by the late Judge Hard-
inge, I perceive an emendation of a
passage in Horace (lib. iii. od. 29)
jprhicn was proposed by Mr. Nicholas
Hardinge, it I understand rightly, and
approved by Markland, Bentley, Parr»
and Taylor. It is spoken of as a dis-
icovery of ^eat value (see *' Illustra-
lioos of Literature,*' voL i. p. 728),
«nd it is asserted, that the present read-
ing, though it is that of all the editiont
-and MSS. is perfect ridicule and folly.
Certainly it would be presumptuous to
^controvert the opinions of Markland
and Bentley; hut may there not be
'tome error in the account which u
iven of their approbation ? and yet
can hardly imagine that there ia any
miatake relative to Bentley, as hiscom-
aneiidaiion of ihe alteration is given
with peculiar circumstances, r^ot-
wilhatanding the above phalanx of
)lMMn08, I am Induced to think that
•rbatif the reading of all the editions
tand maniiecripts may be the right one;
and if Mr. Hardinge were livings he
would not be so violently startled at
my presumption, if he could be in-
formed, that I propose to retain the
old reading, and yet give the passage
his interpretation. The interpreta-
tions, not the text, appear to be
wrong;, and having taken a wrong
view of the meaning, as given in trans-
lations, Mr. Hardinjge endeavoured to
alter the text itself, in order to produce
that meaning, which the passage^ even
as it now sunda in all theedKions, will
hear. The passage is as follows: ■
** Eripe te morse,
Ne semper udum Tibur, et .^ratsr
Deelive contempleris arvum, et
Telegoni Juga parricidiB."
Mr. Hardinge says, that the scenery
which the Poet here describes as that
which he exhorts Maecenas to con-
template no more for a time, is the
Tcry scene to which he invites him.
How then would Maecenas cease to
Contemplate the semper udum Tilur,
ftc. by coming to it? and to rescue
Horace from this seeming inconsist-
ency, he proposes to read ul instead of
fie. Now, Sir, if ui had been found
as a various reading, I should not hesi-
tate to adopt it ; but my idea is, that all
the editions are right, and that ne ia
the proper word, and that the error is
in not civing the right meaning to ne,
which nas here the sense of quid nu
Horace does not exhort Maecenas to
contemplate the scene no more, but he
exhorts him to shake oflf that delay
which detains him from contemplating.
JVehas here (as I with deference think)
the sense of quid ni or lest, I have
fiven the roeanins paraphrastically ;
ut it sorely has the same sense as in
^the following passages: " In culpa es
ne cemere possis." — Lucret. *' Eri-
puit se ne causam diceret." — Cses.
He rescued himself so as not to stand
his trial. The implied and conjunctive
meaning (if I may so express myselQ
of the particle ne has reference to
mord, and not to eripe- "In mor&
es, ne contempleris; li&c mord te
eripe." I offer this explanation with
submission; but I must add that, if
it should be approved, it will give me
great pleasure to have hit upon a plan
of reconciling all parlies, and to nave
made the design of Horace's pencil
more clear, by applying a brush instead
of a new piece ot canvass.
Yours, &c. C. V. L. G.

the pressure of |)opu1ation upon sub-
sistence, omislng exorbitant rent, the
affections of the latter are alienated
from their natural protectors, and trans-
ferred to the priests; but kind and
amiable as are the feelings of Mr.
Bicheno towards that class of men, as
to personal conduct, he has omitted to
state that his arguments are useless in
regard to Ireland, because no fact is
better established than that beggary,
rags, and indolence, arc characteristic
ot every country where Catholicism is
supreme. Spain, Portugal, and luly,
are sufficient testimonies; and more
than all, the diflference which prevails
in this respect between the Protestant
and Romish Cantons of Switzerland.
Poor Laws, Mr. Bicheno thinks,
would be ineffectual, because for the
best of reasons they could not be paid
as to any adequate amount, if assessed.
<< The Dietary in the Irish House of /n-
Aittry At Limerick {where no work it donej
is — for breaf^fastp 8 oz. oatmeftl, And 1 pint
of new milk — dinner, 4^ lb. of potatoes,
boiled, and 1 pint of sour milk. The cost
of dieting a pauper was stated to be Ijd. per
diem." — Pv944.
Now this is exactly 2/. per annum,
which, taking the. number of paupers
at six millions, would be twelve miU
lions yearly, four millions more than
the amount of Poor-rates in opulent
England. Thus, under all the circum-
$iances» there appears to be no efficient
remedy but emigration ; any other can
be only palliatives ; and repeal of the
Union, and proposed independence,
only aggravations, and measures wliich
would produce war with England, and
transportation, if successful, of the yet
remaming capital, as well as civil war.
As to the modern theories of Politi-
cal Economists, our author justly says,
** Tliat they are of insignificant impor-
taace when applied practically to the actual
eircumstances of a country. Theories are
educed from tkfewhetB selected from a mul-
titude, while practice proceeds upon the
broad and expanded basis of aU fiscts : so
that it generally happens, that the theoretio
principles are inapplicable to the existing
exigencies of society. When for instance it
is roundly suted that Ireland sustains no
blury from absentee expenditure, because
whatever rent is remitted, is without doubt
npresented in a great degree by the export
of Irish commodities, and as far as expend!-
tare is eoneemed, the chief difference seems
to be b the plaee of ocmsumption. But stilly
though the expenditure of an absentee land-
lord must be represented by the commodities
of the country from which he derives his re-
mittances, still it may not represent an equi-
valent in his own produce. A bill of 1000/.
upon Paris may he for the manufactures cff
Manchester, and not a single ox or quarter
of wheat may be represented in it : yet it
can hardly l>e denied that the country must
be wronged, where the landed projirieturs
overlook the interest of their own tenantry,
and do not take care that the commodity
which is exported, contributes to the em-
ployment of their own people." — pp. 296-9t.
Emigration, ihe only efficient reme-
dy, is rendered difficult, by the heavy
expence: but our author says, that
'< The Isnd itself ought to bear the ex-
pences of the transplantation ; and Ireland
has now to make a temporary sacrifice of an
amount suited to the urgency of the occa-
sion."—p. 874.
According to this opinion, a tax
ought to be levied upon the landed
proprietors of Ireland, to pay the cost
of emigration.

THE moral sense, we apprehend,
erows out of the association of ideas ;
tor bow can a person distinguish be-
tween a feeling of right and wrong
without comparison. We are of opi-
nion that intellectual physiology nei-
ther is or can be understood, because
if we know not the laws of vitality; we
cannot determine in what manner it
acts. We therefore think that all the
eminent men alluded to by Mr. Wain-
wright, in this elaborate and well- writ-
ten disquisition, have undertaken to de-
fine what is beyond their power, be-
cause beyond the association of ideas,
and its palpable effects. We think that
there are no intellectual actions defina-
ble, possibly because there are no other
existent. We say existent, for it does
not appear to us, that there is in mind
a single uncombined idea, and if it
does not so exist, it cannot have an in-
dependent being or origin. If so, the
matters of dispute in this treatise torn
upon the presumed existence of chil-
dren which never had pareuts-— spun*

with those of the different Orders of Frurs,

been added of which Dugdale gives no de-
soription : but the Cathedral of St. Paul
London it has been thought desirable to
exclude i its History and Charters, f^reatly
enlarged, and richly embellished, had been
separately published in a style of uniformity
with the Monasticon, by one of the Editors
of that Work; so that to have reprinted
them here, when nearly the whole of the
same persons were subscribing for both
Works, would have been materially en-
hancing the extent and cost of the Monasti-
eon, without increasing its value to the
Subscribers.
" It was at first intended, too, that a
Life of Dugdale should be prefixed to the
First Volume of the Monasticon ; but Dug-
dale's own Account of his Life having been
prefixed to the Reprint of St. Paul's, and a
separate Volume naving since appeared in
the ' Life, Diary, and Correspondence of
Sir WillUm Dugdale,; edited by WUliam
Hamper, Esq. superseding further research,
the intention was given up: nothing new
could have been discovered of his Life, and
the expense of the Work, already thought
too great by the Subscribers, must have
been enhanced.**
** The Index has been compiled by Mr.
Richard Taylor, author of the Index Mo-
nasticus to the Diocese of Norwich."
Not to mention the immense mass
of new matter introduced into the
work, in the proportion probably of
three to eight, as compared with the
old edition, the great advantage of the
present edition over the former one,
consists in the English descriptions of
the religious foundations, and the ab-
stracts of their registers, both omitted
by Dugdale. The work has thus been
rendered, by the unsparing research of
Ht Editors, equally useful to the Gene-
ral Reader, the Antiquary, and the
Lawyer.
From the passages which we have al-
ready extracted, tne reader mav judge
of the immense labour bestowed on the
work by Mr. Ellis, assisted, as he doubt-
less has been, bv the constant advice of
Mr. Caley. We have thus preferred
adopting the words of the learned Edi-
tors to inserting any remarks of our own.
We however congratulate them on the
completion of their arduous task ; as we
do the public, on the possession of an
edition of the " Monasticon,*' which
comprises all that is iraluable, not only
in the original work by Dugdale, bnt
in the Continuation by Steevens, and
embraces a very large accession of ma-
terials from Leiger Books, Rolls, and
other documents brought to light since
Dugda1e*s time, thus giving a complete
History of all our Monastic Founda-
tions. This important work will pro-
bably never be superseded, but will
form a necessary portion of every im-
portant Library m England.
It was at first intended to have
copied all the Embellishments in the
original edition ; and in pursuance of
this, the chief of the prints hj Hollar
have been re-engraved. But the plates
by King, &c. beino; utterly worthless,
this intention was happily abandoned ;
and the embellishments of the new
edition have been chiefly confided to
Mr. John Coney, '* an artist,** as the
editors justly observe, " whose execu-
tion possesses the freedom and deli-
cacy of Piranesi, without his occasional
obscurity and coarseness.*'
These plates have been admirably
etched by Mr. Coney, from his own
drawings made exclusively for this
work, and we believe they form the
largest collection of Gothic architecture
ever published.*
A rich series of Seals of the Bene-
dictine Monasteries has been engraved
by Mr. Coney, from the treasures un<«
der the care, and in the collection, of Mr.
Caley. But we cannot speak equally in
commendation of Mr. Coney's labours
with respect to the Seals. The style
in which they are etched is much too
rough and undefined. They fall far
short of the engravings of Seals by
Messrs. Blore and Le Keux, in Sur-
tees*s " History of Durham," which
are perfect in their kind, and admirably
represent those beautiful specimens of
antient art.

Thau^hU and Suggettiatu on the present
Condition of the Country, By T. Potter
Macqueen, Esq, M,P, Svo, pp, 50.
Mr. M ACQUEEN, as chairman of
a Parliamentary Committee, formed
to investigate an imporuint branch of
the Poor Laws, and as magistrate of
an agricultural county, sufTermg under
severe distress, has availed himself of
facts which have fallen under his
knowledge. The pamphlet is accord-
ingly so much to the purpose, so vera-
cious and incontrovertible, that we
should deem it a public injury not to
exhibit at length iu chief contents.
Mr. M. staru with three indubitable
postulates; (i) that population has
enormously increased ; (ii) that it is so
rapidly increasing, as to Ttndttfull em-
ployment utterly impossible, unless
new sources be developed; (iii) that
present remunerative employment is
fast diminishing. — p. Q.
The superabundant population he
attributes to bastardy, overseers' mar-
riages, marriages to obtain more paro-
chial relief, and imprudent love-mar-
liages, small- pox and vaccine inocula*
tions.
^ This superabundant population has
introduced competition, and been ac-
coinpanied with a diminishtd value of
produce, so that there is not now paid
a remoDenitive rate of wages, but only
a mtnimom support of existence. Mr.
M. illustrates the position thus. Farm-
ers about the year 1790, through the
increased value of land, and ntgber
prices of provisions, became proud,
disdained the society of servants in
their houses, aini compelled them, for
the comforts of a home, to marry pre-
maturely.
"Tlie unavoidable consequent hicrease of
parochial assistance to married laboorers
enabled the fiinner to employ these persons
at a lower rate, and partly at the expense of
thoee who cultivated small farms, the trades-
man, the shopkeeper, and the private houses
keeper ; for tne last-mentioned parties being
amerced to poor's rate, and ihefamUy of th«
labourer rather maintained from such rate,
than from fair wages, all was in fisvonr of the
large occupier; and the valuable race of
small yeomen became gradually extinguish-
ed. Thus, in the years of prominent agri-
cultural prosperity from 1800 to 1815, al-
though rates were enormously high, stifl
the price of corn was comparatively higher.
The labourer was underpaid in his reffular
work; and the superfluous charges o? fir-
mily, illness, accident, funerals, &e. defray-
•d by a parish fund, to which many othevs,
as well as the great farmers, were liable.
To illustrate this position, I will assume
that the value of one fifth of a quarter of
wheat, or lOi pints, be the fair equivalent
of weekly wages for an agrionltural labourer.
Then, in 1749, the average price of wheat
beioc 29s. 6d, per quarter, at this estimate
the fair rate of weekly wages shoutd be six
shillinp. Now we find that she shillings
toere the average wages for that year ; con-
sequently the relative proportion was kept
up, and the poor's rate next to nothing. In
the year 1790, the price of wheat was bSs.
per quarter ; but the average rate of wageSf
instead of being, to preserve the proportion^
lOs. 6d, per week, were only Bs. Leaving a
deiicienoy of 9jt. 6d, or one-fourth. In
1801 wheat being \lSs. Ad. wages ought
to have reached 23s, whereas they only ave-
raged 10«.; and In 1813, with wheat at
I22s, 6d, wages, which ought to have been
24s, 6d., were only lis.; but, in IB26,
wheat being only 67s. 1 Icf. wages were 9t."

Hence .\ir. Macqueen proceeds to
show that crime necessarily grows out
of the incompetent wa^es of honest
labourers, which are far inferior to the
allowance of culprits and criminals,
who are so handsomely supported,
clothed, and encouraged,

Thus hy the most palpable cruelty
and folly is a poor helpless^ iDnoceot
person palmed off with Id. a day, while
a rascal is comforted with twenty times
the amount. One half of the public
Aoiiey expended upon. Howardian
gaols in the county of Gloucester alone,
would have thrown bridges over the
Severn at Newnham and Tewkesbury,
have cut most beneficial roads, and
enriched the country. They who best
know how to manage rascals are the
officers in the Navy ; and the best way
of treating them is to make them use-
ful drud^, and keep them in order by
ffverf ducipHne. A barn of a work-
house is deemed sufficient for old, de-
crepid, virtuous labourers; but a pa-
lace is to be erected for worthless
aeoundrels. Philosophers know that
the only way to effect permanent re-
form is suffering. Salt and potatoes,
spring water, hard work, and a cat-o**-
oine tails, and (to prevent euape)
bulks for prisons, would ai a cheap
rate deter from crime; and a few
barns would do for women and chil-
dren. . What is the cause of all this
expensive foil jf f Nothing but unphi-
losophicalreligionism, which is always
promising golden ages, i. e. races of
men witliuut vice or misery, by me-
thods which remove suffering from
the former, and leave the latter for the
innocent.
Mr. Macqueen then makes an ela-
borate estimate of the respective advan-
tages of each of our colonies for con-
victs and emigrants. He conceives
that our criminals ought to be sent to
the worst places, as Bermuda, the
Cape or Trinidad, and even the West
Inoies ; and if complaint is made that
it is virtually sending them to destroc*
tion, Mr. Macqueen observes, that our
gallant soldiers and sailors are obliged
to go there, as well as thousands of
inoffensive young people seeking a
maintenance. Of all the colonies Mr.
M. prefers Australia, aud he wishes to
relieve it, as far as possible, from the
impQtation of being a convict colony,
ana seems to hint a desire that it should
be made a place of punishment only
for those who have been driven to evil
courses by sheer want and destitution,
—pp. 3«, 33.
Besides the known products of the
colony, he sutes that the olive tree
here produces superior oil ; that hemp
and flax may be grown sufficient to
render us independent of foreign coun-
tries. Tobacco thrives well ; and wine
will shortly become a staple article of
export.
Mr. M. concludes with the subject
of emigration ; which he shows to be
absolutely necessary, in the manner
following :
'<We may say, for the sake of round
numbers, that every UDempl<^ed fiunily,
cooiisting of a man and his wire and four
children, is a dead weight upon the country
of 40/. per annum ; in other words, consum-
ing annually 40/. which would otherwise be
beneficially employed. If then you place
this &mily in a condition where they can
consume and pey for SO/, worth a-year of
home manufacture, you are actually increas-
ing the national wealth in a ratio of 60/. for
every family to provided."— p. 85.
This statement, and the circum-
stance of thus augmenting the nursery
for seamen, is a sufficient reply to the
objections against emigration.
We shall conclude with Mr. Mac-
queen's summing up;
" The principal difficulty to surmount is
the number of able-bodied paupers wholly
destitute of remunerative labour. A fudi-
cious attention to emigration would, how-
ever, soon obviate this evil i and when a
&ir balance be once struck between home
demand and employment, then there can be
no objection to provide agMost a recurrence
of foture and similar danger ; thus the com •
mon argument will be removed, that as fast
as one swarm of population be thrown off,
another will be produced. As to the plau
of cultivating watte lands in £nelaad| afier
the most carefol consideration I am con-
vinced of the otter fallacy of such doctrine.
One of the most prominent causes <^ the
existing e^l has been the bringing into cul-
tivation portions of land, which can only
bear tillage during high prices for produce.
The expense of setUiog a man, his wife, and
three children, on waste Umd at home, has
been estimated before the Emigration Com-
mittee, by Mr.Cowling the surveyor, at 76/.
"The main objection to Mr. Wilmot
Horton's plan of emigration was its complex
machinery. I doubt not that parishes would
gladly defiray the outfit aud a portion of pas-
sage expenses to their soiplns population^
say, twelve months average expense of a
fomily ; which I have alieadv shown to be
40/. If an office were established under the

is uticred by Mr.Cunniiigbam when-
ever an oppoiiuniiy ofTeri; lo which,
ihnugh we readily yield an assent, we
are not nuite sure if it proceeds wiilr
dignity From his pen. We of course
allude to those querulous observations
on the want ofencouragement ^icen lo

whether applied to churchei, lo public
ediRcn, externally or iniernally, to pri-
vate maniiuns of the great, in cornices,

by which the reputation of the artist is
secured, yet there it scarcely a sculptor
of name who is not transmitting to
posterity the busu of men ofereai and
•mall and no account, in duplicate and
triplicate, to the bustle of nis studio,
and the great ad%'antage of his purse.
We hope we shall not be understood
as deeming it of little importance in
what branch of his art the sculptor is
employed ; but the public will take
the liberty of deciding for itself, and no
one can tell better than Mr. Cunning-
ham, how much (in the present state of
society) beyond the reach of the most
princely fortunes would be the encou-
ragement of sculpture to the extent of
wnich many of its professors are quali-
fied to conduct its exertions.
The lires in this volume are nine :
tkey include Gibbons, Gibber, Roubi-
liac, Wilton, Banks, Nollekens, Ba-
con, Mrs. Damer, and Flaxman. The
work is a history of sculpture from al-
most the close of the seventeenth cen-
tury to the present day. For so much
of the biography as relates to the do-
mestic lives of the artists, the author is
indebte'd to the labours of their respec«
live historians, collected with diligence
aiid compiled with care. His opinions
of their labours are the result of his own
observation; he criticises freely, but
with much candour and impartiality. *
Of Gibbons but little is known ; and
for that little we are indebted to Eve*
lyn and to Walpole. Amongst his
most celebrated works are the altar-
piece of Trinity College, Oxford, and
tiis carvings at Chatsworih. His style
b well characterised by Mr. Cun-
ningham :
'* In the grace and elegance of his work-
manthip he excelled all artbu who preceded,
M well as those who have followed him ; ne-
vertheless in felicity of grouping and vivid
richness and propriety of application, he
was far surpaswd by those intrepid artists
who embellished our old Abbeys and Cathe*
dralt. In comparing his works with thoae
gotbic carvings, the remark of Gilpin is
confirmed, that * Gibbons was no adept at
composition,' but in execution he has no ri-
val. There vas an impediment in his way, I
apprehend, which some men of taste will be
relucUnt to admit; the Grecian architec-
tare .which he was called upon to enrich, re-
fuses to wear with grace a profusion ml gar-
bads, whereas the grovelike sUteliness and
hannonious variety of the Gothic carry firuit
md flowers as naturally as trees bear leaf and
falooai.*'*p. IS.
. The next Sculptor commemorated in
this volume is Caius Gabriel Cibber^
the father of the celebrated dramatic
writer ; his reputation as a Sculptor is
built upon the celebrated figures of
Madness and Melancholy, which once
appropriately distinguished the entrance
of Bedlam, and which are now pre-
served in the new establishment in Su
George's Fields. Of these statues Mr.
C. says, with much feeling, (p. 27,)
** I remember some eighteen or twenty
years aco, when an utter stranger in Lon-
don, I round myself, after much wandering,
in the presence of those statues, (hen occu-
pying the entrance to Moorfirlds. Sculpture
was then to me at that time an art unknown^
and it had to force its excellence upon my
mind without the advantage of any prepaim-
tion, either through drawings or descrip^
tions. But I perceived the meaning of those
statues at once, felt the pathetic truth of
the delineation, and congratulated myself on
having discovered a new source of enjoy*
ment. The impression which they made
upon me induced me to expect too much
from the rest of our sculpture. In St. Paul's
and Westminster Abbey, I found much
finer work, but less fervonr of poetic senti-
ment, than what Cibber had stamped on
those rough stones, which he b said to Iwve
eut at once from the block without the aid
of models."
Cibber is designated as tt]e '* fore*
runner of whatever is poetic in the
sculpture of Great Britain."
The third in order of time is Roubi-
liac. Of his life but little is known ;
but of his works, as they were nume-
rous, so are they highly extolled by his
biographer. *' He was a reformer,"
says Mr. Cunningham, " who gave
powerful assistance in abolishing the
literal fidelity of Sculpture/ and esta-
blishing in its stead the |)oelic perso-
nations of sentiment and feeling." A
well-written account of the style of
Sculpture, as it obtained in churches
soon after the Norman Conquest down
to the century preceding Houbiliac, in-
troduces very appropriately the merits
of this reformation.
Mr. Cunningham's remarks on the
monument of John Duke of Argyle
and Greenwich, give a very lively pic-
rure of his style of criticism.
Of the statue of Newton it is well said,
" Newton is represented standing, hold-
ing up a prism, and between his hand and
the thought stamj^d upon his broW, there
is a visible connexion and harmony; he
exhibits a calm colossal vigour of intellect,
such as we have reason to believe was the
oharacttr. of the living man i touched too,

ihated by .Mr. C.
Towards the Hon Mrs. Darner, the
author has been sufficiently gallant;
yet not permiiting himself lo overstej)
the triiih. Quoting the eulogium of
. Horace Walpole, he adds, •' A colder
-account must be rendered of her genius
and her works by one who has never
been cheered by her wit nor charmeil
by hcc beauty." To be sure the fol-
rowing estimate of her talents is cold
enough.
<<ThoM works which vre know to have
been actually carved by her own hand, are
all rude in czocution ; there if no ease of
hand, none of that practised nicety of stroke,
that undulating rise and fiill of flesh which
everyone feels to be necessary , and which no
• one can ho]»e to reach without great know-
ledge and practice."
Of her head of Nelson, it is added,
** It if an image of death rather than of
the heroic ; there are marks enough of the
•chisel, but any one can see the hand that
held it was unskilful : the nouth— that place
where ignorance stops and knowleitge Ui-
vnphs, looks like a crevice in a rook, and
the eyes have ' no speculation.' "
The last in the volume, and the high-
est in estimate, is Flaxman. On this
life Mr. Cunningham has bestowed
much care, and narrated it in a kin-
dred spirit. With the following well
.written remarks on the classical stvlc
of Flaxman, we close our notice of this
elegant volume, which we think will
-do higher honour to Mr. Cunningham's
name than any previous work which he
has given to the world.
" The classic compositions of Flaxman
include his Homer, ^chylus, Hesiod,Ilattte,
and the Shield of Achilles. It is wonderful,
while he pencilled these> how much he lived
in the past, and how little in the present.
All things of this age— all shapes which he
Ibnnd in nature — all feelings for existing
loveliness were dismissed from his mind ; and
obtaining the prayer of Homtfr to his muse,
things past became present, and the days of
tbe "Tale of Troy divine " came back with
all their warriors. The Shield of AehiHes is
one of the worthiest of all these works — the
very way in which he made it was peculiar —
he modelled it roughly 'm tUj, had it cast
into plaster of Paru, and then finished it for
the ulver moulder. It was in this way that
he Blade his ehief works— no one could work
SA-Miaitously in. plaster as himself s it car-
lied a aoftneas and a beauty from his touch
whiab it could derive from no other hand.
t)f aba twelve wondrous scenes which adorn
li there is not one wbich is not re-
^ta with betiuty of its own. All tt moving
and breathing — there is the gentleness of
'paace, the tumult of war, and the oharm of
wedded love."

THROUGH Natural Philosophy
intellect has become a scientific power,
in action assimilating deity, while
man in a natural state is in character
lowered into a cart or a wheielbarrow, a
mere passive machine. Through sci-
ence nisw limbs and organs are added
to the species ; but it is waste of room
and time to expatiate upon the bless-
ing derived from Natural Philosophy.
That indeed is a science of which
'every man, who values his time, mo-
'ney, or happiness, ought to have an ele-
mentary Knowled^, were it oiily to
"warn him against impostures and im-
practicabilities, and show him how to
surmount difficulties. To eireohite
this knowledge, by means of diminish-
ing the expense of acqoiriog it, may
have also the effect of producing kh
important change in the pablic mind.
It may generate a taste for that which
is really useful, and increases the hap-
piness and well-being of the species^
Such a work as this, conducted by such
men as the authors, is a national bene-
fit ; for if a comihon bbok 6f ailthmetic
has often been the means of tbakihg a
capital mathematician, who can tell
what may be the results of a scientific
auxiliary, which is a far more powerful
lever, biecause it confers more copious
information, and carries a student
much further on his road.
The extracts which we shall give
will refer to the uses which we have
been in the habit of making of philo-
sophy, namely, of opposins it to the
trash which, under the ho1^ name of
religion, menaces the ruin of the na-
tional.character for common sense. It
is not that we care for the opinion of
A, B, or C, but when forming the
nucleus of a party they bear upon civil
or political good, and we are sure,
from history, that nonsense never did
produce any other than evil When

antpioet of Mr. Niebohr, and other able
philologitts. Geofgtos Syncelint, and Ni-
cephorus C P., have recently appeared at
Bonn. Synoellot hea been entruiced to the
revision of M. Dindorf, whose worin have

prefiwe, M. Dindoif states thu he has
afalled himself of two manuscripts in the
Pkris library. Hie one served as the basis
of the first edition published at Parb in
1669, by Father Goar; the other is men-
tioned in Bredow's Parisian Letters. M.
Dindorf calls Goar meeHoeri homo thetrinif

his Chronological Canoo, his Notes, and
even his Index ! The republication of Syn-

the present moment, fkcilitatinr as it doetf

ANTIQUARIAN RESEARCHES.
Some workmen digging out clay from
a ditch in the neighbourhood of Kertch, a
seaport and fortress of European Russia on
the east coast of the Crimea,* discovered in
the month of March, 1 8S9, three antique
tombs, upon which were placed ten little
statues in terra-cotta, with six vases of the
same material (the form of one of which was
most elegant) , and a quanti^ of small articles
of flsother-of-pearl, ivory, and glass, belong-
ing to the ornaments of a female. Some me-
taUic articles, discovered in the same ditch,
were so corroded by time, that they broke
with the slightest effort. The statues,
which are more or less bjured, all represent
the figures of women. Six of them are
draped, and possess no attribute by which to
recogniie what divinities thev personify.
The four others form a kind or group, re-
presenting Venus and Love. The most re-
markable of these pieces, and that which at
the same time is tlie least injured, shews the
goddess of Cvtherea, seated on a rock, par-
tially covered by fine drapery. By the side
of tlie goddess stands on the rock a Term,
•ornionnted with the head of Serapis, with
the modUa ;. andat the foot of the Term b
the child of Venus, standing in a very
graceful attitude. Below the rock are two
Cupids, mounted, the one cm s dolphin, the
other on a swan. Thb composition b in a
sood style j and wants only the fore-arm of
Venus, and the head of one of the Cupids.
The. Museum of Antiquities at Kerteh
has wiuo made another new acqnbitaon. M.
PoumentsoflP, Captain (jessaouD of the Cos-
sacks of the Black Sea, residing at Temruk,
in the district of Tamane, has presented the
Museum with a marble, having an anobnt
Greek inscription, containing a consecration

• Dr. Labus, of Milan, (says the Rome
EneyekpediquO has Just pubushed a seriet
of verv curious observations on some
Latin inscriptions recently discovered at
Venice, or in its neighbourhood, and parti-
cularly on an antique altar which was found
hst year In repairing the altar of the ancient
chapel of the bajSistery of the basilic of
Saint Mark. In rabing upon that occasion
the vahmble table of oriental granite which
forms what in Italy is still called, af^ the
usage of the primitive church, the meiua,
or sacred table, it was discovered that it
rested on an antique altar, dedicated to the

And with their praises mske these mountains ring.
Away, blind Love, bewitching boy, begone !

Proceedingi in Parliament.
{July,
prebended from, the demise of the Crown
in the present eircumstances of the
country. — The SoticUor-generiU con-
tended that no paramount necessity ex-
isted for the proposed Address, and which
alune could justify its adoption. If
unhappily the event alluded to should
occur. Parliament would be ready, as
in former times, to provide for it.*-The
JtUmey - general thought no danger
could accrue from a postponement of
the question, which it would be more
respectful to his Msjesty, and a safer
course to pursoe, tlian to agitate it just
cm the cTe of a dissolution of Parlia-
ment.*—5tr R, Peel said, it would be
not a very auspicious commencement of
a new reign for the House to oblige the
Bling to do what he had declared he had
no intention of doing. Many contin-
ceocies might occur, too, which it might
oe extremely difficult to provide for;
and after exerting the utmost ingenuity
in detising remedies, they might pro-
•doee ten thousand times more danger
than if the contingencies took place
without them. The motion was sup-
ported by Mr. BamJket, Mr. C fF. fTpfme,
and Mr. Brev^iUim .*— and opposed by
•Lord J)arlmgiem and Mr. Dogheriif, On
a division the numbers were-^For the
motion 93 ; against it SI 7.
The House went into a Committee on
the LibklLaw Amendment Bilu— Lerif
'Merpeth made an amendment in one of
;the clauses, leaving out the additional
penalties for libels in newspapers. — The
Aitemey-generai opposed the amend-
ment.—The House divided— For the
amendment 87; against it SI.— The
oiher clauses were agreed to.
House op Lords, Jufy 8,
The House went into Committee on
the Beer Bill, when the Duke of Rkhr
mend's clause for preventing the con-
sumption of beer in houses to be esta-
blished under the new law, was rejected
by a minority of 60 to 15.
House of Commons, •Tk/y 9,
The Beer and Cider Bill, tb« Exche-
quer Bills Bill, and the Militia Pay Bill
were read a third time and passed.
On the Order of the Day being read
for the ftiriber consideratinn of the Li-
bel Law Bill, the jitiome§t*general
moved, as an amendment, that tbe clause
for raising the security on newspapers
should be increased from 800/. to 400/.
•'•^Lerd Normanbif was not disposed to
increase the power of Attorney-generals,
-and least of all the present one.— Mr.
P, Thomeom was opposed to the amend-
'senty af be thought the sum of 800/.
whieb was tha present amount of seeu-
r, wm§ ^ite MuMhkaU'^Lerd Hemkk
thought the present law quite sufficient
to punish any misconduct on the part of
tbe press. — Mr. ff^artmrlon thought it
unfair to new newspapers to impose
greater penalties on them than on those
already established.— Tbe House then
divided, when there appeared— For the
Jttemeif - generaVs Amendment, 68 ;
against it, 47. — After some further dis-
oussion, the Bill was read a third time,
and passed.
House of Lords, July IS.
The Sale of Beer Bill was, on the
motion of the JDuke tf fFemngten^ read
a third time. — Several amendments were
then proposed by tbe noble Duke, and
agreed to. One was, that two house-
holders should be security for the person
taking out a licence.
July 13. — On the motion of the Earl
rf Shaftesbury t the Forgery Bill was read
a third time, and passed. The Welsh
Judicature Bill was read a second time.
In the House of Commons, the same
day, Mr. Brougham concluded a long
and eloquent speech by moving a resp-
lution to the effect that the House would,
at the earliest practicable period, take
into consideration tbe most effectual
means of mitigating tbe condition of
the Slave population, and finally, of abo-
lishing slavery altogether} and that they
would further take into consideration
the state of the West India Colonies,
with a view to amend the administration
of Justice in the said colonies.— Z.ori/
Merpelk seconded the motion. After a
long debate the House divided, when the
numbers were ^ for tbe motion S7;
against it 56.
House op Lords, July SO.
The Jbrnrd Chancellor moved their
Lordships' concurrence in the Address
to his Majesty, to remove Sir Jonah Bar-
ririgton from the office of Judge of the
Admiralty Court of Ireland, he having
been proved guilty of malversation in
the exercise of his Judicial functions. —
Tbe inotiou unanimously agreed to.
Juhf SI.— Tbe Administration of
Justice Bill, the Libel Law Amend-
ment Bill, and the East Rktfohd
Disfranchisement Bill, were read a
third time, and passed.
July S3. His Mi^^ty prorogued Par-

Obituary. — His Majesty King George the Fourth, [July,
At the end of 1781 the Prince lott the
companionship of biB brother, the late
Duke of York, who was then sent
abroad in order to complete his militarr
education. The close attachment which
bad grown in childhood, continued, how-
ever, unabated during every period of
their joint lives.
The tjstem which the King had
adopted for the education of his son
Wat highljr beneficial while it was in
operation, and so far as sound scholar-
•hip was concerned. Confining the
Prince to bit studies with almost mo-
nastic seclusion and severity, it caused
his ready mind to accumulate an un-
usual store of valuable knowledge. But
no sooner did its operation cease, than
it was found to produce effects which its
royal author, and his noble and reverend
agents, were the first to discern and de-
plore. It had too long shut out the
world from the view of the Prince, and,
6y not graduating his advance towards
the public scenes of life, rendered those
scenes, when at last he was at liberty
to survey them as be pleased, too novel
and encbanting, too luxuriant and over-
powering. His tutors and governors
had scarcely loosened the rein, before
they were required altogether to drop
il; numbers of a perfectly opposite cha-
racter were In waiting to celebrate his
freedom, and administer to his gratifica-
tion and delight. Among them were
certain individuali, celebrated for the
splendour of their talents and vices, and
in their earliest intercourse with the
prince, much more ready to corrupt his
morals by the one, than to enlarge and
elevate his mind by the other.
Here we must look for the origin of
those painful misunderstandings which
took place between the Sovereign and
the Heir Apparent. The early friends o^
the Prince were in avowed opposition to
his M;0^*^y'* Government, and soon in-
fused their hatred of Ministers and their
jealousy of the King into the unsuspect-
ing mind and susceptible heart of their
i\ltisUiou% proteg^. On political grounds
alone the King had reason to be in-
censed at their influence over his son ;
but when to this was added the moral
injury they were inflicting on one whom
the pious father wished above all things
to train for Gud and bis country, it
cannot surprise, that, wounded by their
arts in bis royal, his paternal, and chris-
tian feelings, he should have set his face
MM a flint against the men, and treated
with rigour the son who had made them
bis companions and friends.
' On the Prince attaining his majority,
in 1783, he was appointed a Colonel in
<^ army, the highest military rank bis
father ever allowed him to hold. The
ceremonial of bis intruduction into the
House of Lords by bis uncle the Duke
of Cumberland, and the Dukes of Rich-
mond and Portland, will be seen in our
vol, Liii. p. 976. At the same time a
message from the King desired the
Commons to provide for his Royal High-
ness a suitable income, and a sum sufB-
cient for the formation of an establish-
ment appropriate to his station. For
the latter purpose G0,000/. wu granted ;
and for the former the annual sum of
&0,000/., being only one-half of what
bad been allowed to bis grandfather
when money was of greater value. The
narrowness of this provision was con-
demned by one party as likely to lead
to great inconvenience ; and applauded
by another as showing a proper regard
to the already intolerable burdens of the
people. One portion of the Coalition
ministry who were then in power,
warmly argued for an allowance of
100,000/. a year. The Prince himself
interposed, and insisted that the settle-
ment should be left solely to the discre-
tion of the Sovereign. The Prince's ex-
penditure, however, exceeded 64,000/. ;
and the debts incurred by the altera-
tions of Carlton House, and other ar-
rangements, made his total annual out-
lay in money and credit fully amount to
100,000/.
His difficulties increased so fast, that
three years after his settlement he ap-
plied to the King for assistance. A
schedule of the Prince's debts was, by
the King's command, laid before him j
but, whatever might be the nature of
the document, some of the items were so
inconsistent with the strict moral prin-
ciples of George the Third, that the ne-
gotiation ended in a positive refusal of
relief.
A determination was then taken by
the Prince to live on 10>000/. a year,
and dedicate 40,000/. annually to the
liquidation of bis debts until all were
discharged, in this resolution, which
some loudly applauded and others more
strongly condemned, his Royal High-
ness strictly persevered for nine months.
But in the session of 1787 the King and
his ministers were induced to give way
to the presumed wishes of Parliament }
and by the consequent negotiations, a
promise was given to pay the debts, to
make allowance for the works at Carl-
ton House, and to add 10,000/. a year to
the Prince's income; whilst on the other
side there was a formal engagement to
abstain from future involvements.
We now arrive at the memorable dis-
cussions which arose on the question of
a regency. The king, whose first^at-

mirkinj^y that ^hit inducement! were
the ghrixms uncertaHaniy of the laWt (wat
tbit the first employment off that now
proTerbial expreaaiou ?) and a wish not
to add to the burdens of the people."
In July of the same year (1803), the
Prince of Wales addressed a letter to bis
Mijesty, requesting, in contemplation
of the threatened invasion, a military
command suitable to his rank. This
the Kinif was pleased to refuse ; at the
time time reminding his son, that,
'* should the implacable enemy so far
tueceed as to land, you will have an op-
Eortunity of showing your leal at the
ead of your regiment." The royal cor-
respondence on this occasion the Prince
(who is said to have been assisted in the
composition of his letters by Mr. She-
ridan and Dr. Parr,) thought proper to
publish, and it will be found in our vol.
LXXiii. pp. 1 17S, 1244. His Royal High-
ness bad previously in 1796, when the
Duke of York was commanding in the
Netherlands, been refused permission to
join the Duke, in company with his
friend Lord Moira.
On tbe 2d of May, 1810, the Uni-
versity of Oxford conferred oji tbe Prince
of Wales, by diploma, tbe degree of
D.CL. This compliment was probably
suggested by a present which his Royal
Highness had recently made the Uni-
versity, of four rolls of papyri from Por-
tici. (see our vol. lxxx. i. S30, 439.)
The final illness of King George tbe
Third began early in October, 1810;
and was first announced to Parlia-
ment on tbe 29tb of November. A fort-
night's adjournment in both houses was
in tbe first instance carried. A com-
mittee was then chosen to examine his
Majesty's physicians ; and, after a keen
discussion, tbe Regency Bill at length
became a law on the 5th of February.
On this the Prince of Wales immediately
assumed the reins of government, under
certain restrictions which terminated on
the 1st of February, 1812.
Af the opposition to the restrictions
was conducted in concert with the Prince,
some surprise was nianifeBted on his
continuance in office of the Perceval Ad-
ministration. In a letter which was
published at the time, his Royal High-
ness apprized Mr. Perceval, « that tbe
irresistible impulse of filial duty and af-
fection to his beloved and afflicted father,
leads bim to dread that any act of the
Regent might, in the smallest degree,
have the effect of interfering with ttie
progress of his Sovereign'^ recovery, and
that ibis consideration alone dictates tbe
decision now communicated to Mr. Per-
ceval.*' Still, when the restrictions ex-
pired, and the Prince became vested with
the full powers of Soverei^ty, he did
not withdraw his confidence from the
Perceval Administration.
The assassination of Mr. Perceval,
May 1 1, 1812, led Mr. Stuart Wortley to
move an address, praying bis Royal High-
ness to take such measures as might be
best calculated to form an efficient Ad-
ministration. Tbe address was carried
against Ministers, and tbe answer re-
turned was, that bis Royal Highness
would take tbe address into serious and
immediate consideration. Expectations
of a new Ministry were generally enter-
tained, and the Prince successively gave
directions to the Marquis Wellesley and
Lord Moira, to negotiate with Lords
Grey and Grenville. No such arrange-
ment being found feasible, on the 8th
of June the Earl of Liverpool stated in
the House of Lords, that tbe Prince Re-
gent had on that day appointed him
First Lord of tbe Treasury ; and the Li-
verpool Administration was immediately
formed. On the 30th of November, the
Prince Regent, now unfettered by re-
strictions, made his first speech from the
throne.
Tbe reign of George the Fourtb.dating
its commencement (as may fairly be
done) from this period, is full of glorious
events; but we have not space to enter
here into the history of the country.
The policy of Great Britain had, with
perseverance beyond example, consist-
ently opposed itself first to tbe revolu-
tionary principles of France, and after-
wards single- banded to its great autocrat
and tbe tyrant of Europe, Napoleon
Buonaparte; King George the Third
was not, however, permitted to wituess
tbe triumph of his policy. The suc-
cessful campaigns of Wellington took
place in the earlier years of the Regency.
On the downfall of the Emperor of tbe
French in 1814, the two victorious so-
vereigns, tbe Emperor of Russia and
the King of Prussia, became the guests
of the Prince Regent of Great Britain.
The final overthrow of Napoleon was, in
the following year, the work of British
arms. On the 24th of July, 1815, as a
mark of his high approbation of the dis-
tinguished bravery and good conduct of
the 1st and 2d life-guards at the battle
of Waterloo, the Prince was pleased to
declare himself Colonelin-chief of both
those regiments.
At the funeral of his royal mother
Queen Charlotte, Dec. 2d, 1819, the
Prince Regent officiated asci^ief mourner.
On the shortly ensuing death of George
the Third, Jan. 29, 1820, his Royal
Highness changed his vicarious title of
Sovereignty fur that of Kins; his coro-
nation followed July 19* 1821. On the

Upon tli« ftiriviil of the Procestion at the
•outh door of St. George's Chapel, liis late
Majesty's Band of Music, the trumpets and
drums, and the Knight Marshal's Men and
Officers, 6!ed off witiiout the dour.
At the entrance of the Cha|>el, the Royal
Body was received by the Dean and Pre-
bendariesy attended hy the C hoirs of Windsor
and of the Chape! Rnyal, (who fell in im-
mediately before Norroy King of Arms),
and the Procession moved down the south
aisle and up the nave, into the choir, where
the Royal Body was placed on a platform
under a canopy of purple velvet (having
Uiereoo esc<icheoni of the Royal Arms, and
surmounted by an Imperial Crown,) and the
Crowns and cushions were laid upon the
coffin.
His Majesty, the Chief Mourner, sat on
a chair of state, at the head of the corpse,
and the Supporters btood on each side.
Tlieir Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cum-
berland, Sussex, Prince George of Cumber-
land, the Duke of Gloucester, and Prince
Leopold of Suxe Coburg, were seated near
his Majesty. The Lord Chamlierlain of hia
Majesty's Household took his place at the
feet of the corjise; and the Supporters and
Assistant Supporters of the Pall and of the
Canopy arranged themselves on each side of
the Koyal Body. TTie Peers, Assistants to
the Chief Mourner, arranged themselves be-
hind the Princes of the Blood Royal. The
Feers liearing the Banners were placed on
each side below the altar. During the aer-
▼ice the Knights of the Garter present oc-
cupied their respective stalls, with the ex-
ception of the Duke of Wellington, who
bore the Sword of State, the Duke of Beau-
fort, one of the Supporters to the Chief
Mourner, and the Peers who supported the
pall. The Ministers of State, the Great
Officers of the Household, the Nobility,
Bishops, Privy Councillors, Judges, and
Law Officers, were placed in the vacant and
intermediate stalls, and in the lower scats on
each side of the choir. The Grooms of the
Bedcbaoiber, GentlemenUshert of the Privy-
chamber, Equerries and others, composing
the Procession, were arranged on each side
of the altar, on which was placed the fold
plate of the Chapels Royal.
Tlie part of the service before the inter-
ment and the anthem being performed, the
Ro}al Body was deposited in the vault; and
the service being concluded, his Majesty,
the Chief Mourner, was conducted from the
choir to the chapter-room of the Chapel,
preceded by the Sword of State. After a
abort pause. Sir George Nayler, Garter Prin-
cipal King of Arras, pronounced near the
srmve the styles of His late Most Sorred
Majesty^ of blessed memory, as follows : —
•« Tims it hath pleased Almighty God to
take out of this transitory life, unto His Di-
vine Mercy, the late Most High, Most
Mighty, and Most Excellent Monarch,
George tub Fourth, by the Qnee of God
of the United Kingdom of Great Britaio and
Ireland Kinc, Defender of the Faith, and
Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of th«
Garter; King of Hanover, and Dnke of
Brunswick and Lunenburgh. Let us hum*
bly Ijcseech Almighty God to bleaa and pro*
serve with long life, bealth, and honour, aa^
all worldly happiness, the Most High, Mbtt
Mighty, and Most Excellent Monarch, Oqr
Sovereign Lord William the Fourth,
now, by the Grace of God, of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland King,
Defender of the Faith, and Sovereign of the
Most Noble Order of the Garter; Kine of
Hanover, and Duke of Brunswick and Lu-
nenbni;^h. GoD save Kino William the
Fourth !"
After which the Marqoesa of Couyngliam,
Lord Steward of the Household to his late
Majesty, and the other offioera of his late
Majesty's Household, broke their staves of
office, and, kneeling near the grave, deposited
the same in the royal vault; whereupon
their Royal Higlmesset the Princes of the
Blood Royal, the Great Officera of Sute,
Nobility, and othera, who had composed the
Procession, retired.
The Knights of the several Orders, pre-
sent on the occasion, wore their respective
Collars, with white rosettes. In pursuance
of his Majesty's order, the Great Officers of
Sute, his Majesty's Ministers, and the Offi-
cers of the Koyal Household, appeared in
their state uniforms, with* black w^tcoats,
breeches, stockings, and buckles, uniform
swords with crape, and black feathers in
their bats. The officers of the' Army and
Navy a[»peared in full dress uniforms, with
the mourning directed to be worn by them
at Court. The Bi»hops appeared in their
rochets ; the Peers, eldest Sons of Peers,
Privy Councillors, and others, not included
in the Royal order, appearied in full dress
black.
The Procession, from the Royal Apart-
ments to the Choir of St. George's Chapel,
was flanked by tlic Grenadiers of the loot
Guards, every fourth man bearing a flam-
beau. From four o'clock iu the morning until
nine in the evening guns were fired at in-
tervals of five minutes, and from nine o'clock
until the conclusion of the Cciemony minute
guns were fired.
Such Is an abstract of the official accounts
authenticate<I by the signature of the Earl
Marshal. After the chapel was cleared,
both of the funeral cortege and s))ectators,
the Duke of Cumberland descended into the
royal vault, to witness the performance of
the last necessary arrangements ; and, hav-
ing remained for an hour and a half in the
Chapel, before his departure saw the stonee
replaced at the entrance of the sacred tomb-
house of his Family.

Mb. Jobn Nickson.
Jtme 16. At Leamington> after a
short illness, aged 70. Mr. John Nickson,
of Coventry, a member of the Society of
Friends.
He was a native of that city, and
apprenticed to a relative at Eailngton,
in Warwickshire. Thence be returned
to an uncle in Coventry, with whom
be resided a few years, and then en-
tered into partnership with a Mr. Town-
send, In the leather trade. On tbe
death of Mr. T. be entered into tbe
cotton trade with the late Mr. Browett,
and carried on for many years a lu-
crative and fiourishing business. Tbe
decline of that manufacture, and the
death of his partner, induced him to
enter into another — the fabrication
of trimmings — and be was also en-
gaged in the selling of silk by commis-
sion. In bis younger years be married
a Miss Stretch, of Birmingham, by whom
be had a son, who died young, and three
daughters, two of whom are now smr-
viving.
At that period, and for many subse-
quent years, he was a most active and
diligent antiquary. Knowing that there
were in existence many ancient MSS.
detailing the remarkable events which
bad occurred in the ancient city of Co-
ventry, he^ with tbe assistance of his nu-
merous friends* eollected them together
—be examined the files of tbe Cwftniry
Mtremry^ from its establishment in tbe
jfear 1741— 4be ancient books and writ-
ings belong to tbe various chartered
compaoies— and also a portion of the
records belonging to tbe Corporation.
From these be extracted every useful
detail ; and by bis careful selection, has
formed a volume of great value, it bad
been his intention to have published a
history of Coventry, and a prospectus
was issued by Mr. Piercy, a bookseller,
but it was not carried into execution.
With indefatigable industry he collected
tbe election papers, ftc. connected with
Coventiy during the last century, tbe
whole of which he arranged cbronulogi-
cadly in two large folio volumes. He
also, in conjunction with two other an-
tiquarian friends, employed a celebrated
artist to take drawings of every church,
and tbe remains of ancient buildings in
Warwickshire, in order to illustrate Sir
W.Dugdale*s History of that County. He
was a collector of coins ; and possessed
a valuable series of Coventry tokens,
which passed currently in tbe reign of
Charles II. With tbe friends above-
mentioned, be bad a silver and copper
coinage struck off--on one side were re-
presented tbe City arms, vis. tbe ele-
phant and castle; and on tbe other, tbe
ancient and modem public buildings of
tbe Gty. Several Interesting commu-
nications relating to Coventry were
transmitted by him at various times to
tbe Genileman't Magazine. He was an
active assistant in founding tbe Coventry
Library In 1761. His collections were
ever open to tbe inspection of bis friends;
and there are many still surviving, who
recollect with pleasure the gratifleation
they received from his communicative
disposition. In a word, be was a kind
warm-hearted friend, respected by his
neighbours ; and in the various vicissi-
tudes of life, was ever esteemed as a
man of unimpeachable honour and in-
tegrity. He was liberal in his senti-
ments; and, during the late eventful
times a truly loyal subject — unchange-
able in bis friendship, and ever active
for tbe welfare and benefit of bis native
city.

MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.
P. J. obatnrety ** In p. 80 of last month,
700 Mk whether the eipretsion of 'the
l^oriow uncertainty of tne law' wtf fiitt
employed on the occMion there mentioned ?
1 eta answer that it was not. It bad been
in use long before, and I have often heard
that it originated thus. Soon after the first
Lord Mansfield was appointed Chief Justice,
which was in 1 766, he overruled some long
estiJ>lished legal deoisioni, and introduced
several inoovatiotts in the pmctice of his
court. At that period ' the glorious memory
of King WUliaro' was a standing toast ; and
at a dinner of the Ju4ges and Counsel at
Serjeants' Inn Hall, after the toast of the
'glorious memory,* Mr. Wilbmham, a very
eminent counsel of that day, gave ' die gkn
rions uncertainty of the law,' which was le-
velled at Lord MaasfieM's Judgments, and
created much merriment. It has ever since
been commonly drank at professional din-
ners.— In p. 90, it is said of Mr. Nickson,
whose age is stated to be 70, that he was an
active assistant in founding the Coventry
Library in 1 761 . One of the dates must be
A Lincolnshire Correspondent states that
*'the late Sir Scrope Bernard Morland
(part i. p. 465) was the seventh son of Sur
Rrancis Bernard 1 and was bonit not in Ire-
knd, but at Perth Ambay, New Jersey,
whilst his father was governor of that set-
tlement. Sir Scrope was twice in Ireland as
ivate secretary to the Marquees of Buck-
;ham,--There b in the hall of Christ
urch, Oxford, a portrait of Sir Francis
Bernard, painted at Boston in America, by
Copley, the father of Lord Lyndhurst, be-
fore be crossed the Atlantic' There has
been a trial in the Prerogative Court regard-
mg the testamentary arrangements 01 the
late Sir Scrope Bernard Morland. It ap-
peared that he had made several wills, but
cancelled them all, and left one commenced
at his death. A copy of one made in 1 788
had, however, been found, and the question
was whether this was revived. On the S7th
July Sir John Nicoll pronounced judgment
against it ; and decided that Sir Scrope had
dSed intestate.
George Thomas Wyndham, esq. (part i.
. 380,) wss the grandson, not the son, of
obn Wyndham, esq. and Elisabeth Dalton.
His father was George Wyndham, esq. who
died Jan. 3, 1810, seed 44; and his mo-
^r Marianne, dau. of Col. Philip Bacon of
Ipswich. His three sisters were married ;
Marianne, in 1829, to the Rev. Cremer
Cremer, Rector of Felbrigg and Melton,
Norfolk; Arabella, in 1827, to the Rev.
'9faw2^ Wbitefoord, Rector of Westerfiekl,
I
Suflfblk; and Sophia, in 1829, to the Rev.
C. Barnwell, of Mileham Hall, Norfolk.
In p. 16 is an inquiry af^r the Duckets
of Wharton. She died 13 Jan. 1777, of
which there is a report in Dodsley's Annual
Register, p. 227, of the edition reprinted in
1794.
G. W. L. remarks, '* Having occasion to
refer to some papers, the following para-
graph copied from the John Bv/Z Sunday
paper of the II th November, 1827, was
among them, which, if it be correct, our
Almanacks must be at variance with histori-
eal feet. — ' It is singular that many of the
Almanadcs and other Annuals mention the
4th of November as the anniversary of the
landing of the Prince of Orange (afterwards
WiUiam III.) at Torbiqr- It is well known
that that important event took place on the
anniversary of the Powder Plot, a coinci-
dence which excited much remark at the
moment. Burnett (who was on board one
of the Prince's ships) says, the 4 th of No-
vember being the day on which the Prince
was bom and married, he fencied, if he could
land that day, it would look auspicious to
the army, and animate the soldiers. But
we all, who considered that the day followii^
being Gunpowder Treason day, our landing
that day might have a good effect on the
minds of the English nation, were better
pleased to see that we could land no sooner.'
—This extract accords with Ames's copy of
the Remembrancer 1736 (now in my pos-
session), in which he has corrected several
errors. Should not, therefore, in future
our Almanacks be thus rectified, viz. Nov.
4th, K. William ham 1650, — Nov. 5th,
Gunpowder Plot 1605— K. WiHiam III.
landed 1688; unless the latter holiday be
thought sufficient to be recorded."
P. 615. Before our notice of the Fa-
mily Classical Library, should also have
been inserted the title of the folhmiog
work bv Mr. Barker : « Select Orations of
Demostoeues, consisting of those which are
read in Schools and Colleges ; including the
Oration of iEschines against Ctesiphon ; with
Notes critical and explanatorr. To which
are added, Leknd's Sketch of the principal
Cities of Greece, and his Introductions to
the Orations, Examination-Questions, and
copious Indexes. By £. H. Barker, Esq.
kte of Trinity College, Cambridge," 8vo,
po. 276. Mr. Barker's book is an edition
or the Greek text with English notes for
Schools, and is quite distinct from the se-

On Clerkal Farmers.

cular affairs. This change has pro-
duced, amongst farmers, an increasing
disestcem and a diminished rcTcrence
for the Clergy. Brought into collision
and competition with ihem, on sub-
jects which they understand probably
as well or better than those whom they
had been accustomed to regard as in-
structors, and of a superior cast not
only of rank but of talent, they soon
feel their own strength, and the whole
country may be safely challenged to
produce a single instance in which the
parson farmer is not either scoffed at
for his ignorance and incompetence in
the business into which he has in-
truded, or sneered at aud despised for
his folly, or cajoled and cheated by the
consent and connivance of many who,
whilst be remained in his own proper
sphere, were his attentive hearers, re-
spectful followers, and conscientious
neighbours.
Amongst the poor, he who formerly
ministered to their wants, comforted
them in their distresses, relieved their
penury, and successfully interposed his
good offices between the harsh and
unfeeling conduct of a brutal overseer
and the suffering classes of his pa-
rishioners,— the farmins parson now
appears in a very opp<Mite light: — as
hard a task-master, as niggardly a con-
tributor, as severe and rieid an exactor
of their daily toil, as the Keenest dealer
or the most impenetrable clown in his
parish. He tee$ his people with new
eyes, as they do him ; and when they
hear him, can it be expected that it is
with equal reverence? Look at the
condition of the land occupied by this
new class of agriculturists. Is it im-
proved ? On tne contrary, with very
few exceptions, the Parson's farm is in
the worst condition of any in the pa-
rish. Ignorance and neglect are so
apparent, that in his new trade he is
the laughing-stock of all his neigh-
bours, and instead of improving them
by his example, he is derided as an ex-
Eerimentalist, and sometimes insulted
y those who might have been his ad-
miring or ai least his well-disposed
hearers $ who would have been willing
to improve by his instructions upon
subjects which he understands better
than they ; but who conscious of more
wisdom, in their own line, despise him
as an intruder upon it.
Even in some few instances (if any
such there be) where the Parson un-
Qt/s and practises his new em-
plorment with |ieeuiyiary advaiHage,
ana succeeds in skilfully cultivating his
land, it is at the risk, nay, at the cer-
tain^ of losing the far greater portion
of that res|)ect which as a Clergyman
he might have received from those
whom he has converted into envious
rivals and competitors : fotf in the de-
gree in which he succeeds with his
agriculture, he will sink in their esti-
mation as a Parish Priest : and in the
view of all others it is clear that the
more he withdraws himself from cle-
rical duties to attend to secniar affairs,
the less he will be qualified for the due
performance of that office which ought
to be his sole employ meni.
The angry feelings, the jealousies,
the usurpation of at least the means of
f;iving employment and support of one
amily in every parish — which must
be fairly calculateo upon, wherever the
Parson attempts or pretends to culti-
vate his own glebe, are evident ; — the
neglect of ecclesiastical duties, in con-
sequence of such employments, is every
day more and more observable. I do
not say that the farming Parson in
every instance neglects to go to church;
but show me the man ** whose talk is
of bullocks," and whose occupation is
the routine of the farm-yard, or the
dairy, and permit me to ask for the
proofs in his discourses of those intel-
lectual attainments which are essen-
tial to him as a Clerical Instructor,
and in his behaviour, of the effects of
that abstraction from the cares and
business of the world, which can alone
duly qualify him to minister about
holy things ?
If it were possible to contrive the
union of more discordant characters
than that of a cattle-dealer or a farmer,
a Clergyman and a Magistrate, which
is now so common amongst us, I ap-
prehend it is only to be found in the
picture drawn by the inimitable Field-
ing, of his Trufliber, which even at a
period far less |)olished than the pre-
sent age, designedly held out a beacon
to warn those whom it especially con-
cerned, against the danger of bringing
the sacrecl order into contempt, by un-
worthily blending such opposite cha*
racters.
Whilst the agriculturists are loud in
their complaints of the peculiar hard-
ships to which they are reduced, can it
be credited that the Clergy believe
them, and yet themselves engage in
farming : or can it surprise the public

BRIEF account of the
L Cfaaich of Si. Germain
e great numbers of persons,
le lale sanguinary conflico
r the Louvre, were promiscuously
interred, }may not bv miipliced i
Miscellany; as this edihee is one oi
the tooii prominent aoLiquiiics of the
eily, and is visited by almost every
iiaveller who arrives here, beint; si-
toated in i quartet constantly traversed
by all classes. The building is not re-
markable for beauty) and in point of
ap-. it yields lo Si. Germnin-ilcs-Pris ;
hut from raiious ciicumslances, it has
excilnl more interest with the anli-
rell a
the r
qiiary,
sjicctaior.
Had Napoleon remained on the
ihrone of Trance, this Church would
have been demolinlieO some years back ;
he 1iilende<l npcoini; a road from the
eastern facade of the Louvre, lo ihe
Place de la BaUilU. That pinn would
"" ■ }, M-wellt
bellishcd Paris; for It would have lud
open many of the narrow, fetid streets
in the heart uf the town, where, it is
scarcely eaaggeraiion to say the sun*
beams never peoeiraie. A new site
was fixed upon for a Church lo replace
it; but the priests have hitheno had
too much influence to allow the im-
provement to be taken into considcra-
lion. However, as the present King,
Louis- Philip, is known lo palruniic all
measures of public uiility, wr may soon
see the laleLmiieror's plan carried into
effect.
The western front of this Church
looks on the bejuiifut faiade of tha
Louvre, and is at a sulRcieni distance
to allow a convenient view of both
ediliccs. On the north side is the Rue
Chilperic! on the south, the Rut dci
Prilrei, and on the east, the Rue dt
PAH-re Sec. The Church, however,
is not detached ; for houses and shops
have been erected in corners, formed
by projeclina pans of the building j
fuicd memorials of ditTerent ages, ex-
hibiting in some |iarti Ihe offerings of
superstitious pieiy ; in others, the iracea
of revolutionary spoliation.
A Church was erected on this spot
in 6o6. by King Chilperic .- it was de-
dicated to Germain, Ihe Iwenticlh Bi-
shop of Paris, who died in bid, and
was long called St. Germain -la. Ronde,
on account of its circular form. That
BIshon had excommunicated Chati-
beri. King of Paris, for polygamy; and
was in such great reputation, ihat
many persons bequeathed their pto-
fieity lo defray the ex|)ense of Iraiis-
ating his remains to the new Church.
The original edifice having been de-
stroyed by the Normans, was rebuilt
by king Robert, in the beginning of
the elEventh century; when it received
Ihe name of 5/. Germain VAuxerroii,
to diilinguish it from another Cbuich
dedicateil lo Si. Germain. But Alex-
ander 111. in a bnll of 1165, continues
lo give il Ihe old appellation ; he calls
it Monailcrium tiancti Gemani Ro-
'Ihe Church at present consJ^ils of
some portions of tiiat erected by King
Robert, with additions and reparations,
made by the Bnglish in 1423. It be-
longs lo no particular clasi of architcc-
luret and it becomes difficult to give
on intelligible account of so irregular a
building. Viewed from iVw weu., <He

the princiDBl door are three statoes;
they stand opoii brackets formed by
figures of deiomied animalsy and in
the mouldings over the door are rows
tt various little monsters. A turret of
pbin stone work is seen on each side of
the body of the Churoh ; and a number
of ornamented pinnacles, on the top of
the buttresses, with projecting spouts,
terminating in misshapen figures, give
nther a grotesque appearance to the
building.
The porch not extending the whole
breadth of the edifice, the space on
each side was aAerwards fillea up by
two chambers ; one of them is destined
for the administration of the Eucharist,
the other for Baptisms : an inscription
Over each, denotes the epoch of their
erection ; the former was built in \60B,
the latter in 1639.
• The interior of the Church is not
very striking : the double ailes are so
very wide, that including the little
chapels which encircle the place, the
body IS not more than l-6th of the
buifdins. The pillars which support
the roof over the ailes» are round, and
very massive in proportion to their
height ; a few of them have mouldings.
The absence of a gallery above tne
ailesj has caused the windows to be
very lof\y ; although of equal height,
there is a great want of uniformity in
them, whicn is the more conspicuous, as
tome are ornamented with stained glass.
* This Church was for a Ions time
collegiate as well as parochial ; but the
repeated disputes between the incum-
bents and the canons, induced the Psr-
Kament to unite the chapter to that of
N6tre Dame. Many persons of emi-
nence have been buried here; and it
hat often been selected for the delivery
of faneral orations in commemoration
of persons who have died elsewhere.
Amonj; otheis, the Chancellor Olivier,
who died at Amboise in 15^0. It was
die bell of this Church which gave the
signal for murdering the Protestants,
in 1572; and during the revolution
which took place last month, the
Church was used as an hospital for
those who were wounded in attacking

these monuments were restored in
1898, by their descendant, the Marquis
d'Aligre, peer of France.
In a chapel, nearly opposite, are
two statoes, two busts, ana a long in-
scription on black marble. They are
memorials of the Rostaing family, and
were restored in 18S4, by the present
Marquis de Rostaing. The busts and
the inscription were formerly in the
Church ot the Feuillanltf the statues
were in this Church, which contained
the tomb of the elder branch of the
family.
TKere are also a few tablets inscribed
with the names of persons who have
died since the Restoration; in parti-
cular a marble stab to the memory of
the Duke de Riviere, governor of the
Duke of Bordeaux : he died April 21,
1828, and is buried at Bel- Air, near
Bourjf^es. The inscription is surmount-
ed with his arms ; which being only
in outline, do not sufficiently indicate
the blazon: they are paly of'^six, over
all a chevron.
This Church was outside the city
until the reign of Louis- le-Gros, who
built a wall to protect the northern
suburbs of Paris. Philip Augustus,
in 1190, built another of more sub-
stantial materials, and coroprisinff a
more extended circumference : it left
the bank of the river at the spot where
the Pont det Arit now stands, and
passed direct to the Hue St, Honord,
Where a fortified gate was erected, near
the present site of the Oratoire.

Mr. Urban, July ig.
IN the Court-room of Bamburgh Cas-
tle, in Northumberland, there are
four pieces of tapestry, which are un-
derstood to have been brought thither
from the Deanery of Ripon about forty
years since. They are of considerable
dimensions, the two largest measuring
16 feet by 8, and containing several fi-
gures as large as life. The colours at
one time have been extremely vivid, but
are now faded in some degree from age.
Upon the whole, however, they are in
excellent preservation, and exhibit such
correct drawing and good composition,
that it is evident x\\fi paintings or designs
from which they were worked must
have been the ptoduction of no com-
mon master. The first of the series I
imagine to represent the Emperor Jus-
tinian, seated at a lar^e table, and en-
gaged with his commissioners in form-
ing the celebrated Digest of Roman
law. A remarkable figure standing be-
hind his chair may probably represent
Trebouianus. Two of the lawyers are
in oriental costume, and one of the two
may be supposed to be Basilides, who
had been Prefect of the EasL In the
second, the Emperor is seen advancing
in royal apparel to an 0|)en temple of
Janus. Slaves newly manumitted are
crowding round him, and kissing the
hem of his earment. Other persons
are also introduced as spectators of the
scene. Justinian may here be con-
iectured to be in the act of proclaim-
x£^ iiDiiiediately after one of the great
victories gained by Belisarius, the e/er-
nal p#ace— which by the way lasted two
years.
The third is a coronation. The Em-
peror kneels on a cushion, with his
sceptre in his right hand, while a
stately figure in a scarlet robe is placing
a crown upon his head. Before him
stand two Flamens holding an open
book, on which may be distinguished
the words Lex Romanor.
Between the priests and the Empe-
ror lies a naked sword wreathed with
olive on another cushion, and beside it
a kneeling page throws the light of a
torch on the open volume. This trans-
action is represented as taking place
at night on a terrace, sud the populace
are gathered together in a court below.
In the fourth piece of tapestry, Jus-
tinian appears not exactly in a hunting
dress, but with a hunting spear in his
hand, in a wild country, with only
two attendants. He has come sud-
denly upon two of his hounds, which
lie dead, and apparently poisoned, on
the ground. A chased bowl stands
near them, and a stream of water
gushes from a rock at a small distance.
The countenance and attitude of the
Emperor are strongly expressive of sur-
prise and regret.
As I have not happened to meet in
Gibboii or Procopius with any circum-
stance in the life of Justinian corre-
sponding to that which is detailed in
this picture, I should feel much ob-
liged to any of your correspondents
vvno may be able and willing to throw
light upon it; and still more if they
could refer me to an^ engravings, etch-
ings, or paintings, in which the sub-
jects alluded to are treated in the man-
ner I have described. I may add, that
the features of the Emperor Justinian,
and such portion of his costume as ap-
pears on medals, are faithfully copied
m these Tapestries.
Yours, &c. W. N. Darnell.

(Continued from Pari i, p. 004.)
WE had now madeconsiderable way
towards the island of Staffa, the
object of our voyage, when we first
discorered a very handsome and^ gal-
fant wherry aclvanciug majestically
with all sail towards the same destina-
tion. We rejoiced in the prospect of
^mpany, with whom, as the day was
DOW delightfully fine, we might explore
the cavern wiih advantage. We were
considerably ahead, and landed first.
This process was extremely trouble-
tome, for though the boat was drawn
well up to the shore, yet the way was
rough and difficult, lying over the
broken and very uneven columns of
basalt, lately washed by the ' waves,
covered over with slime and sea weed,
atui extremely slippery. We were
moreover benumbed with cold, and
far from having the perfect use of ei-
ther our hands or feet, which were
also cramped from our long confine-
ment in the boat. Our advances there-
fore were slow and awkward ; but the
road, as we ascended from the sea, be-
came less slippery, and, with the as-
sistance of our guides, we speedily ar-
rived at the Cavern.
The swell and the surf were on this
occasion so violent, that there was no
possibility of entering the cave in the
boat. We had, therefore, with the
aid of our boatmen, who were ex-
tremely careful and adroit, to penetrate
to the end of the cavern on foot.
We had scarcely entered its moutb»
ere it required the utmost care and
considerable coolness to advance. The
ledge of rock which supported our
steps was extremely ruggeo, and some-
times slippery; in some places fright-
/uJJy narrow, and with but a very mo-
fferste portion of light. In one parti-
r /«// t/jerc is scarcely room for
one foot, the portion of rock not being
the width of a shoe-sole, and here,
unless supported by the boatmen, who
know the path well, and creep down
below, there would I conceive be an
absolute necessity for retreating.
The nails of oor shoes, from our
DOW extended peregrinations, had been
worn completely smooth, and we felt
our footing very unstable. One false
step would have precipitated us over
sharp and rugged rocks into the tea,
roaring at a great depth below. A
person whose nerves were not tolera-
oly well strung, would feel himself iq
a very unpleasant situation, and, upon
the whole, I think the way is not with-
out danger to those even of the coolest
tem|)erament. Certainly it was a path
I should not like to tread a second
time ; and this same step before men-
tioned has I understand deterred not a
few from encountering it once. A-
mongst the rest oor boatmen informed
us that the Duke of Argyle, on a late
visit, chose rather to swim into the
cavern, in which exploit he was ac-
companied bv Staffa, the proprietor of
the island. For my own part, I was not
sorry when I once more saw the light
of cfay on the outside of the cavern.
We remained a considerable time in
absolute astonishment, under the im-
posing roof of this stupendous edifice,
Duilt without hands, and in which the
sound of the hammer had i»ever been
beard. The entrance is spacious,
broad, and lofty. The sides and roof
are composed of the basaltic pillars
before named, ranged in the nicest
order. Below u ihe sea,-— at the time
we were there of the most beautiful
green ; the sides and further end of the
cavern edged with foam. Altogether
the appearance is wonderfully impos-
ing; something of a tupentitious dread
creeps over the beholder, and the cave
itself appears
*' awfbl at the consecniad roof,
Rc-aoboing pious aotheros."
Looking outwards, you have a very
extensive and moat magnificent view
of the surroanding ocean, whose waves
S their sullen roar delight and elevate
e mind, and force it to look up with
wonder at the works of the great Ar-
chitect of all things. The most indif-
ferent observer must I think be stricken
with the moving scenes around him,
and go forth from their contemplation
humbled and subdued. Finally, the

But Nature is indifferent to honours ; and
infirmities will seize their ▼ictim, without
considering that it was intended he should
hear appeals in the House of Lords."
Eren when an individual is less ad-
vanced in years, the general uncertainty
of life forms almost a sufficient objec-
tion against making a Peer of a man
with a family but no wealth; and "a
recent instance" was memorably on-
fortunate. In that case,
** the expediency of placing a learned
Judge in the House to assist in its decisions,
was so great as to surmount the obstacle ; but
he died before it had been benefitted by his
services, leaving his successor without a suf-
ficient Income to maintain a private gentle-
man, and who has already become a pensioner
of the crown.** — p. IS.
The author has not overlooked the
most obvious objections that may be
made to his proposal. He presumes
them to be,
1. *'That the dignity of a Peer of
the Realm is in its nature hereditary ,
and that, if deprived of that quality,
the constitution of the House of^ Lords
will be changed.*' This he affirms to
be merely an assumption arising from
the general practice ; but that, besides
the precedents of creations for life
whicn he adduces, the power the
Crown has always possessed of limiting
a peerage according to its pleasure (as
in the before noticed cases of Norbury
and Canning,and a muhitudeof others,)
sufficiently proves that it is not neces-
sarily hereditary.
2. ** That creating Peers /br lift
will tend to form two classes ofPeers."
To this it is replied that the Represen-
tative Peers of Scotland and Ireland (the
latter possibly ancient, the former un-
doubtedly so,) are already specimens of
Peers for life. That Bishops are also
Peersybr life ; and that, if the children
of the proposed Peers partake of the
present privileges of Peers' children,
they will so far have the advantage of
our Spiritual Peerage, whose wives and
families have not special rank allotted
to ihem. It may be added, that the
tenants of old peerages wanting heirs,
are in no better condition than Peers
for life. At all events it is presumed
that the learned men we have been
principally considering would from
their personal characters never rank as
a despised class, whatever danger there
may oe of that being the fate of their
pasteriiy, if hereditary Lords,
Thirdly, are to be considered thoae
standing merits of an hereditary arit-
tocracy,
" that the living representative of a mao
ennobled for his services becomes a memo-
rial of his virtues, and stimulates others to
similar exertions ; and that one of the chief
incentives to serve our country is, not only
the hope of acquiring for ourselves, but of
transmitting to our posterity, the dignity of
a Peer of the Realm."
These advantages are not denied ; but
in the present plan others are correspon-
dent. The descendants of a peer for
life, instead of becoming degenerate, at
those of some hereditary peers, may be
stimulated to achieve the same or
higher honours. If fewer are able to
transmit a title to posterity, more will
be able to attain one.
It must, also, be distinctly under-
stood, that our author does not con-
template a cessation of the creation of
peerages for perpetuity, but only that
none be conferred without correspond-
ent fortune, or without those eminent
services on which the nation, by Par-
liament, may be disposed to confer
such fortune.
We have only to add, that we feel
well satisfied with the plan recom-
mended in this letter. It is highly
desirable as an improvement to the
judicial character of the House of
Lords ; it may properly give the first
coronet to a distinguished Senator of
the lower house, an hereditary peerage
following or not according to circum-
stances; and for military or naval ser-
vices it may take the place of that
something better than a Baronetcy-—
the Irish peerage; from the creation of
which the Crown has been so nearly
debarred since the Union, and has thus
perhaps been occasionally forced to con-
fer British peerages where an Irish ti-
tle would otherwise have sufficed.
Finally, we presume there would be
the same moral checks to a King or his
Minister's excess in creating peerages
for life, as at present on their conferring
hereditary peerages j the prerogative
being now unlimited (as to British
peerages) except by public opinion.
Nor will the present Peers object to a
measure which will so greatly tend to
maintain the respectability and dignity
of their order. The commencement of
a new reign is a proper era for its
adoption.

convenience of the inhabitants ; the
exterior is not rcinurkable for its archi-
tectural beauty, but the interior is
tastefully fitted up in the modern
Gothic style, and ornamented with a
handsome altar-piece: it aBbrds ac-
commodation to nearly fifteen hun-
dred persons. Here are also two meet-
ing nouses ; one belonging to the
Wesleyan Methodists, inc other to
the Calvinists; the former is rather an
elegant building. At the water-side
is a small market- house. The town,
composed chiefly of detached cottaees,
extends more than a mile up a hill to
the west; about midway through it,
on the south side, is the parish church
(dedicated to the blessed Vir£;in), a
spacious embattled structure, built in
tne style of the latter part of the four-
teenth, or beginning of the fifteenth
century, with red sandy stone, now
rough-casted. It consists of a nave,
chancel, north and south ailes, with a
transept in each ; at the west end is a
{>lain embattled tower, a hundred feet
ligh ; on each side is a small circular
turret, through which access is f^ained
to the roof of the Church. Facing the
south is a large porch, having a groined
ceiling; in the centre are three figures,
but the white washer has been so in-
dustrious, that it is almost an impossi-
bility to recognise for whom they are
meant. The interior, notwithstand-
ing its present neglected stale, and the
numerous 'churchwardenizalions' it
has unden;one, still retains traces of its
original elegance. The aibles are lofty,
and separated by obtuse arches ; the
columns appear to have been painted
in imitation of red marble, as portions
are visible through the whitewash. A
largi* old gallery stands in the choir,
whilo a lesser, erected about three
years since, occupies a part of the
south aile: each transept is also fur-
nished with one; in that in the south
side is a wooden tablet, hearing a Iode
Ji»t of donations to the poor, in red
and black letters, placed there in 1692.
The same year the Church was repaired
and ornamented with Scripture sen-
tences, '* when Mr. Jlobt. Lake and
Geo. Gillard were churchwardens.*'
The opposite gallery is devoted entirely
to the use ot the Buller family. At
the head of the stairs u a handsome
old-fashioned monument :
"Id memory of Edward Yarde, eldest
ton of Edward Yarde, esq. of Churtton
lCour$, H-ho Jifd at Eton School, April j*
ISth, in the year of our Lord 1710, to the

Elieu ! quam brevis est aetas, et raraseoectua,
Dum puer hie properat vivere, vitap«rit."
Within the precincts of the pew is
the following inscription on a slab of
statuary marble :
" M. S. Fraocisci Buller, B«roDetti, per
pluiquam septemdece m auooa Banci Regif>
deinde per sex anuot Banci Commuoia Juiti-

eose, juxta rellquiai Edwardi Buller^ filii
primogeniti.'*
The following is painted in black
letter on a small wooden tablet, which
hangs loosely on one of the pillars in
the nave : ,
"John Crout of Brixham in this eonoty
of Deuon, y?,* who died the 80 vf July,
1641, gaue ten shillingea yearely for euer
to this par. of Brixham for y« relefe of ]f*

llockhowie in this parriih of Brixham, to
be distrubvted euery newerea day, by the
help of y* chvrch wardens and oueneera of
the poorc."
The sounding-board of the palpit is
surmounted by the figure of an angel
gaudily painted and gilded, blowing a ,
trumpet. On each side the nave, iro- *
mediately beneath the cornice, are two
others holding shields, charged with
armorial bearings; on one are the arms
of Courtney, on another those of Yarde.
The font is exceedingly beautiful, but
the sytumetry of its ancient tracery and
foliage is now eclipsed by modern ot"
namenis, bestowed on it lif the white'
wash brush ! The Scripture sentences
referred to above are destroyed. At
the eastern end of the south aisle are
several monumentj to members of the
Fnwnes family, and in the correspond-
ing end of the north aisle are three old
ones of the Uptons ; on the first, a lar^e
dark coloured marble one in the fa-
shionable form of the reign of the se-
cond Charles, supported by Grecian
columns, and having their arms on
the top, are the following inscriptions :
" In memory of John Vpton of Lvpton,
Eaq. who piovily and rignteovsly served
God and his Covntry, in his private and
public station while a Ivstice of Peace, and
jBvrgesse for Dartmovth in three Parlia-

Brixham derives its name from one
of its early proprietors Brithric. In
the reiffn of 9i. Edward the Confessor
one Ulfe or Ulphus was the owner of
the manor, and at the Conquest it was
granted to a Norman Baron named
Ralph. Afterwards it became the pro-
]peny of the powerful family of VauU
tort, Barons of Harberion. At the
4leath of Lord Roger de VawUort, with-
x)ot issue, in the reign of Henry I. it
•was divided between the sons of hit
two sitters, Beatrix, married to the
Lord Corbet, and Avise, married to
•Pbmery of Berry Pomery. A fier pass-
knz through ^various hands, it has been
told oflf in small portions, the possess-
ors of which ar« denominated the
" Quay Lords."
Lupton in this parish was the birth-
dace of Nicholas Upton, a learned
lawyer, and one of the earliest writers
op lieraldry.
Torbay, the Totonesiiim Littus of
|bc Romans, has been^ the theatre of
many great events in English history.
Here it was, as we are told, Vespasian
landed, when he invaded Britain in
ihe reign of Claudius, A.D. 49. But
the most celebrated is the landing of
William, Prince of Orange, afterwards
William IIL at Brixham, on the 5lU
bf Nov. 1688. On his accession to
the throne, he created his Admiral
Arthur Herbert Baron Torbay, and
Earl of Torrington ; but the titles be-
came extinct at the death of the Earl.
Mt. Dunstanville, a merchant, who
made a tour through the South-Haini
about forty years ago, relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of William's laiMtirrp;,
as told him by an ased native of Brix-
ham, who was a child when this great
event happened :
As It wiiM tow water, and the pier

with specutors,) he exclaicned with a
loud voice, ** Welcome or ootT* He
was immediately answered with tbe
shoots of the multitude, and cries of
••Welcome I welcome l"
During the late war, this bay was
one of the stations of the Channel fleet.
The population of Brixham is com-
puted at SIX thousand.

Mr. Urban, Grinuby, July 1 1 .
IN my former communiaation,* I
have endeavoured to prove that Let-
ters were in use before the time of
Moses ; and I am further of opinion that
they were known to the predecessors
of Abraham } for Tully savs, that the
Egyptian Hercules^ who lived but a
abort time after tbe death of Thoth,
wrote tbe letters used in Phrygian.
Semiramis, the widow of Ninus, who
flourished about the time of Abraham,
erected a pillar to commemorate her
conqoests, and engraved upon it this
inscription: '« I, reigning In Nineveh;
made the bounds of my kingdom to-
wards the east the river Inamane ; and
towards the south it is bounded by tbe
land that bears frankincense and
myrrh."* And, as we are informed
by Diodorus Siculus,' the same royal
lady received letters or missives from
an ancient Indian King, relative to her
eastern expedition; for the Indians had
letters from the most early times. Mr.
Maurice thinks that the Vedas were
written in a character which was de*
rived from Noah, and had been used
by the antediluvians ; and Sir William
Jones' conjectures that the Yayush
Veda was couiposed 1580 years before
the birth of Christ; i. e. nine years
before the birth of Moses, and Qiaety
before the exodus from £gypt«
Pliny 4 affirms that the Pclasgi, the
founder of whom was a man in Japhet*s
line in the eldest times, first brought
letters into Latiom ; and that they
were in Italy before the Lydian colony,
under Tyrrhenus, came thither and
expelled them.* And the'Lydian co«
XoTij was but four aenerations after
ilie time of Menes.* The most ancient
Greek letters were called Pelasgic, and

Noah founded the empire of China,
and instructed hissubjrciiinthit useful
art ; and it is remarkable that the
Chinese alphabet at this day, if an ac-
t:uinulDtion of eighty thousand charae-
leri may be dignified with that appel-
lation, i«, according to the best autho-
rities, hut a (light variation from the
system of writing communicated to his

If thejK leiiinionics be admitted, it
will appear that leltcri were praciisod
by Noah qfler the flood ; and we may
very_ reasonably conjecture that he was
not ignorant oLthem Irfore that event,
because he was six hundred years of
age when he entered the ark | and
there is no ekiiling evidence to prove
that he invented iheiu afterwards.
A learned modern author, Dr, Dnig,
is decisive on thi) point. He ihinii
the litlcfi of the Hebrew alphabet,
which he considers the same as the
Chaldaic and the Syrian, were antedi-
luvian. After observing that " ihete
was certainljr a tradition among the
Jews that writing was in aDtediluvian
invenlioo," this writer adds, " there
must have been a tradition to the laroe
purpose among the Chaldeans, since
the writers who have copied from Be.
losus, the celebrated Chaldean hitlo-
lian, speak of alphabetical writing as
an orf well knoien among the aitlfdilit'
viana. According to tnem, Oannei,
the Chaldean legislator, gave bis dis-

IN perusing an historical work of
tome merit, CBelsbam'a History of
Great Britain from the Peace of A-
miena), I was painfully suprised to find
the reltgiont distiifbanccs which took
place in the Sooth of France in I8IA«
sot only exaggereied hot greatly mis-
represented.
* Mr. B. says,
*' The Protestants, known as the lealous
friends of the Revolution, and much &•
voured under the late reign, were exposed to
every species o( vexation, ndt to say perse-
cution."— vol. n. p. 143.
** Thus was France left without defenoe
(by disbanding the army), and great con-
cision ensued i particularly in those depart- .
ments where the Protestants most abounded;
and at Nismes a sauguinary soene took place,
which revived the recollection of St. Bar-
tholomew." — p. 180.
Soaae partiality may be excoted in
ao author whose prepossessions are not
dtsgnised ; but troth can only be ascer-
tained by hearing both sides. Yon
dmibtless remeromir, Mr. Urban, the
-ferment which those troubles excited
in England, and Justly so, if the repre-
sentations made of them were correct.
As an instance of different opinion, it
may be recollected, that the Rev. Sir
H. W. Moncrieff advocated earnestly
the cause of the Protestants, while
has son*iQ-law Dr. Stoddart dented
that they had suffered 00 account of
their relt^u.
I solicit the attention of every can-
did reader to the following passage,
taken from a zealous and uncompro-
mising Protestant :

I consider this writer the better au-
thority in such a ease, as he is by 00
means disposed to exculpate the Ca-
tholics on otiter occasions. Excepting
a few inaccuracies, there is no history
of the Reformation more worthy the
perusal of literary men, as its effects on

TURNING over the other day the
leaves of that important and va-
luable depository of the public records
of Great Britain, &c. called Bymer'a
Fadera, 1 found (in the underwritten
words and language) an atleetalion by
King Edward ill. that a woman com-
mitted to prison for the murder of
her husband, subsisted in the said pri-
sonjbriu days without eating or drink-
ins, and his pardon granttd to her ia
acknowledgement of the miracle.
At present I shall forbear to make
any observation on the superstitious
crrauliiy' of a Monarch so renowned,
and whose memory is so justly dear to'
the English nation, but shall be happy
to learn from any of your correspond-
ents whether there are any historical
circomstances connected with a fact so
exactly recorded, and so indisputable as
the release of the murderer for the
supposed miracle.

(To be continued J
Mr. Urban,
I BEG to solicit the attention of
your classical readers to a very
important Question relating to the me-
chanism oi the Greek language. It
is this. Are we not erroneously taught
in our schools to conjugate the Greek
Tcrb with two aorists, two futures, and
the tense called the perfect middle?
From the best consiueration I have
been able to give the subject, I cer-
tainly do roost decidedly maintain the
affirmative of this question : if I am
wrong in so doing, I shall be obliged
to any of your readers who will take
the trouble to point out oiy error, and
in the mean time I will mention some
of the reasons of my present opinion.
I contend explicitly thqt the regular
Greek verb has but one future, one
aorist, and no such tense as that called ,
the perfect middle: I maintain that
our common grammars exhibit in re-
spect to these tenses a system of fie*
tion, to which I know no nearer pa-
rallel than the gibberish of the law-
yers, when they begin to talk about
John Doe and Richard Roe.
Now, Sir, for the reasons of this, as
some may think, bold, but I trust not
unwarranted assertion. What, let me
ask, is required in order properly to
constitute a distinct tense? I antici-
pate the concurrence of your readers
in replying: "two things; 1. a difr.
tinct form ; 2. a distinct meaning or
force." I shall proceed to show that
io iheBt imaginBTy tenses of the Graek
rerd behoga uehher the one nor ihe
other of these requisitei ; and if I can
do that, I think joa wiH agree with
me, that it is high time that they
should be banished from our gram-
mars.
Generally speaking, Greek verbs
have only one form of the future and
aorist, and none of the so-called per-
fect middle. It is impossible directly
to prove a negative; out if any one
believes that the active Greek verb
uses two futures, the one baryton and
the other perisp6men, as our grammars
tell us, let him pull out his books and
search for an instance : and though I
do not say that no such instance can
be found m the compass of Greek lite-
rature, I do say tnat they will be
found so very few and far between,
that he will be convinced that they
form no part of the regular mechanism
or furniture of the language, but are
mere anomalous duplicates or redun-
dancies of formation. But here I must
guard against being misunderstood.
There are undoubtedly two forms of
the future active ; the one baryton, aa
ru4^, the other perisp6mea« as xfiN*;
this is obvious and indisputable. But
my point is, that both these forma do
not belong to one and the same verb ;
and therefore that they are not two
distinct tenses, but merely varieties in
the mode of forming one and the same
tense : in the same way as we have in
Latin different forms of the future in
the different coniugations, amabo, mo-
nebot regam, aumam.
The remarks above applied to the
future active may with almost equal
force be extended to the other tenses
of which I have spoken. The only
difference is, that in respect to these
latter, duplicate formations are some*
what more frequent, so that it would
be much easier to produce instances in
which they occur. Still I maintain,
without fear of refutation, that they
are merely the exception and not the
rule ; ancf, therefore, that the error of
our grammars is great and palpable, in
representing them as the rule and not
as the exception. Let us take, for ex-
ample, the case of. the Jirst and second
aorut so called. The vast mqforitu of
Greek verbs have only what is called
the first aorist, which ends in », as
nv^: a considerable number, how-
ever, use a different form, ending of,
as Oiopof, which is catted the second
aorist \ and a few verbs present both

ties steundun artem, and contracting a

[Augr.
of Phalarit Mgging his brazen bull
t0 the onfortunaie critic, who was
represented as exclaiming, '' I had ra-
tker be roasted than JBoyied." Of all
the attacks upon Bentley the only one
DOW known dv its own merits is Swift's
Battle of the Books; *' a piece/' saya
Dr. Monk, *' exhibiting more than
any other the original vem of humour
which distinguished its author; and
which continues to be read and ad-
aiired by thousands who would hare
tamed a deaf ear to the combined wit
aad learning of Christ Church. Yet
the greater part of the ridicule thrown
out upon our critic, whose leading de-
merits are represented to be tUtliness
and haired of ike ancienia, is so re^
markably inapplicable, that no degree
of humour less than Swift*s could
make it palatable.'*
Meanwhile Bentley remained calm
under the pelting of this pitiless storm,
relying upon the goodness of his cause,
and a conviction that the public judg*
ment, however strangely it may be
ptrverted for a time, will at length
come to a ri^ht decision upon every
question. This self-command enabled
Bentley to form al leisure a reply to
Boyle, which by the concurring testi-
mony of all scholars, is Quite unnvalled.
'* The Boyleans (says Dr. Monk) had
pursued a course calculated to display
their adversary to the greatest advantage,
and to raise to the highest pinnacle the
rtpntation which they designed to over-
turn. In their efforu to confute his
reasonings about Phalaris, they had in-
troduced a variety of new topics, which
the writers from whence they drew
their knowledge, had treated either er-
roneously or slightly. They imposed
upon Bentley the necessity of explain-
ing and elucidating them; in doing
which, he was able to develope stores
of learning more abundant than either
bis friencb hoped, or his enemies ap-
prehended.'* In drawing up the an-
swer, Bentley first satisfactorily refutes
the bookseller's accusation by a com-
parison of dates, and thoroughly dis-
proves the other calumnies.
On this work, which appeared in
1690, Dr. Monk has the following
able remarks. *< The appearance oT
this work is to be considered an epoch
not only in the life of Bentley, but in
the history of literature. The victory
obuined over his opponents, althougn
the most complete that can be imagined,
emisthutes mut m Bmall part of the
merits of this perfonnance. Sueh is
the author's address, that while every
page is professedly controversial, there
IS embodied in the work a quantity of
accurate information relative to history,
chronology, antiquities, philology, and
criticism, which it would be difficult
to match in any other volume. The
cavils of the Boyleans had fortunately
tooched opon so many topics, as to
draw from their adversary a mass of
teaming, none of which is misplaced
or soperfloous : he contrives, with ad-
mirable judgment, to ^ive the reader
all the information which can be de-
aired upon each question, while he
never loecs sight of his main object.
Profound and various as are the sources
of his learning, every thing is so well
arranged, and placed in so clear a view,
that the student who is onlj in the
elementary parts of classical literature,
may perase the book with profit and
pleasure, while the most learned can-
not fail to find his knowledge enlarged.
So well sustained is the learning, the
wit, and the spirit of this production,
that it is not possible to select particular
parts as objects of admiration, without
committing a sort of injustice to the
rest. And the book itself will continue
to be in the hands of all educated per-
sons, as long as literature maintains ita
station in society.** On the various,
but ineffectual, attempts made by the
confederates to fix on Bentley the
charge of plagiarism, Dr. Monk truly
remarks, that *' to this, critical scholars,
from the natnre of their pursuits, are
constantly exposed ; since no care can
secure them from sometimes publish-
ing remarks and conjectures, without
being aware that they have already
been made by others. Every candid
person is slow to believe that such
coincidences are the result of any thing
but accident; and theft would be
equally diahonourable and foolish, in a
case where detection is sure, sooner or
later, to ensue.*'
Soon after the publication of this im-
mortal Dissertation, Bentley lost his
patron Bp. Stillingfleet, who, as Dr.
Monk shows, died from long attacks
of gout, which at length fixed upon his
stomach, and no/, as it is commonly
supposed, from his chagrin at being
worsted in his controversy with Locke.
Bentley was now left to enjoy the
triumph of his learning and sagacity,
to which even the most averse were
compelled to pay homage : and, what

In ihe first year of his Mastership
Dr. Bentley was chosen Vice-cbsneel-
lor, according to a cintom of the Uni-
versiiy, that the Senior in degree among
tiie heads who have not seried that
office, shall be appointed. Iojunel704
Bentley was married to a daughter of
Sir J. Barnard of Brampton, Huuit.
"This union (says Dr. M.) was emi-
nently happy, the lady being possessed
ofniany amiableand valuable quali ties,
of a culiivaied mind, truly benevolent
and sincerely religion*. Her powerful
connections, too, secured him valuable
service at critical periods of hi<i life.
In his Vice Chancelloribip, Dr. Benl-
ley t'Bectnally vindicaied the rights of
ihe Univeiiily againal the Mayor and
Corporation of Cambridge, and exerted
himself in proaioiing the prosperity of
bis University Press, from which edi-

sent forth, m also a new ediiion of

on the rabject. " In theadmiaittration
orhitGoll«ge(9ays Dr. M.) Bentiey had
cradttally introduced many novel recii-
■lationt as to the elections to scholar-
thipi and fellowship, and in these and
other matters of gQ\'ernment and dis-
<«ipliney proceeded upon his own sole
aotboritj, without seekinc the concur*
■rSnce of the eight Seniors, nis statutable
counsellors. And as there is no reason
to suppose that the Seniority would
■haTO withheld their assent from anj
measures of a beneficial tendency, it is
f>lain that he was influenced by a dis-
position to engross all power/' It is ub
'wonder that such arbitrary conduct
should, even respecting matters praise*
^orthv^ have leu to misunderstandings
with tne Seniors. And an innovation
Which he made bygiving new and valu-
able privileges to Graduates in Dirinity,
to the sacrifice of the interests of other
Fellows, occasioned much dissension
in the Society. In some subsequent
ordinances, fientlcy was accused of
seeking popularity among the students,
while ne mortified the Fellows. "The
ttet of the propriety of these ordinances,
however (says Dr. Monk), is, that
ihey have been maintained, with some
slight exception, up to the present
time ; the only valid objection to them
lieing that they were enacted by mo-
narchical authority.''
Among other causes of Bentley's nn-
foopularity was, that having no taste
for hospitality on such a scale as soitcxi
his di^ified station, he incurred the im^
(ratatton ofmeannesii and the expenses
of the repairs of the Lodge occasioned
much dispute between himself and the
Seniors. In 1704 an attempt was
made by the advocates for Phalaris to
UEun make head against the Goliah of
classioal Criticism $ and there appeared
a work, supposed to be by Atterbuiy,
intituled, ** A short review of the Con-
troversy between Mr. Boyle and Dr.
Bentley." On this Dr. Monk remaHis,
that the style is caustic and polished,
vet the general effect is feeble, being
little more than a repetition of the cri-
mination on Boyle^s book, softened
down to an unwilling moderation.
Not long after the Lodge was finished,
Ur, ^Beiitley enjoyed the honour of re-
coivmg there l^is Sovereign, Queen
Anne, in April 1705, who held her
CottTl at Trinity College. From his
fint epmin^; to College, Bentlw lived
pnaeifiB))y la a knot of telcct /riends,
ekMB^f ICuster, S/kes, aad Brookbank.
At this period he used to pass seversl
OBonths of the year in London, attend-
ing to his duties as Chaplain to the
Queen, and Royal Librarian, in virtue
of which office he had handsome
apartments at Cotton House. Now he
mixed in the highest circles, and his
society was coorted bv the learned and
the great. About this time Bentley
addressed to Kuster, who was then
editing Aristophanes, two Critical
Epistles containing his observations on
the Pluhis and the Clouds ; and in-
tended to have proceeded with the
other nine plays, out found that even
those two were too late to be incorpo-
rated into the Commentary. Dr.
Monk observes, that *' these Epistles
exhibit a most lively specimen of his
acuteness and nice perception of the
elegances of the Greek lansuage, and
that had he given his mind to such a
work, no person ever lived who was
so well qualified for an Editor of Aris-
tophanes.*'
About this time Bentley address-
ed to Hemsterhuis (the founder of
the most distinguished class of conti-
nental scholam, and who afterwards
attained to a rank second only to Bent-
ley) a " Critical Epistle on Julius Pol-
lux," which Hemsterhuis was then
editing. This masteriy production ope^
rated so powerfully on the mind of the
young Dutchman, that he determined
to abandon his Greek studies alto-
f;ether; until he reflected how unfair
t were to compare his own iovenile
performances with those of the most
consummate Critic of the a^e.
An increasing family now induced the
Master to take three or four vouna men
of rank as boarders at the Lodge. They,
however, only continued one year, Benb-
\ej finding that attention to them absorl>-
efi too large a share of his literary leisure.
It Was indeed little consistent with his
dignity, and exposed htm to obloquy,
as this addition to his family increased
the consumption of bread, beer, fuel.

Trinity by the College, without limita-

exertions to raise the character and im«
prove the buildings of his College, by
building an Observatory, founoing a
School of Natural Philosophy, and re<*
pairing and refitting the Chapel upon
a magnificent plan. The execution,
however; of these works, brought much
distress on the Fellows, which contt*
nued for several years. This extra^r-

almost twttj fault which such a per-
son may be su|>po8ed to commit.'*
In his *' Emendations'* (published in
1700), Bemley exposes the gross ig-.
ooraoce of the writer with the keenest
irony, giving at the same time his own
corrections, conceived in his happiest
style, and generally irrefragable. Tiie
work was (Tike most of his productions)
written ex tempofe. What were the
motives which induced Bentley to un-
dertake this work, we cannot ascertain.
Probably some literary grudge eiiter-
taiued against LeClerc, in the exercise
of his office as Reviewer, was the chief.
Theunfortunateeditor,however,having
got intelligence (secretly as the work
was conducted) of the birch which waa
in tteep for him» and of the Xf?^
ira;^i7av which was to wield it; ad-
dressed a menacing letter to Bentley,
Calling upon him to ** clear himself of
the charge,'' adding that ** silence
would be construed into a confession,*'
To this our critic returned an answer,
in his clear, powerful, and caustic style,
which Le Clerc perhaps found more
difficult to endure than the public cas-
ligation which followed. Being un-
able to defend himself against the stric-
tures of Bentley, Le Clerc looked round
for assistance, and found it from the
learned Bergler and the foul-mouthed
Pauw ; the former of whom, in the
*' Acta Eruditorum," glossed over the
defects of Le Clerc. The latter put
forth a violently abusive work, intituled
" Philarg^rii Cantab. Emeudationes in
Menandn et Philemonis reliqoias.*'
" A performance (says Dr. Monk) so
worthless, and in a style so disgusting
and ^execrable, that scarcely any one
can read three pages of it.'*
After long delays on the part of thtf
Mniors of Trinity (as large bodies, and
especially aged ones, are slow in mo-
tion,) an accusation was presented in
form, signed by a decided maiority of
the fellows. " Of the articles (says
Dr. Monk) some were frivolous, others
unfounded ; yet more contained charges
of neglifTcnce, which, though culpable,
called for admonition rather than ex-
that when, on m certain occaaion, the writer
of this article discutseU confidentially the
question of Le Clerc'a literary character^
with the late Dr. Samuel Parr, at hii owa
house, a few years before his death, he de-
clared that he thought Le Clerc had been
hardly dealt with by Bentley in his Phile-
lautheras Liptientis { and ba ended by de-

ihe articles to the Masterv who took,
no notice of them. After three montha
delay, and vain endeavours to break
the confederacy of the Fellows by sow-c
iog diksensions, Bentley attempted to
procure the interposition of the Crown
m his favour^ by the promulgation of
a Uoyal letter. Upon the Bishop*s ot
length demanding an answer to the
articles, Bentley politically petitioned
the Queen against his lurisdiction,
and maintaining that her Majesty waa
the real visitor of the Colkge, threw
himself on the Ro}'al protection ; and
the Ministry being inclined lo take the
Master's view of the subject, wrote to
Bp. Moore desiring htm to stay all
further proceedings in the business,
until the Crown lawyers had come to
a decision on the subject.
In 171), after various delays, occa<^
stoned by the peculiar state of his af-
fairs, Bentley sent forth his long-pro-
mised edition of Horace, dedicated to
the Earl of Oxford. Dr. Monk thinks
there is reason to suppose that in Jive
fROfiMi«nfier his return from London, in
June 1711 (after having prepared, dur-
ing nine months' Town residence, for
the struggle which was to decide his
fortune), Bentley wrote the greater
part of his notes on Horace. The pre-
face to the work was couched in terms
of greater arrogance and boasting than
ever. The work itself excited consi-
derable sensation, especially as there
were 700 or 800 alterations of the com-
mon readings, and all (contrary to cus-
tom) received into the text, notwith-
standing that most of them were mere
conjectures of his own, though always
plausible, often ingenious, and not
unfrequenily convincing. The opinion
of the very learned Biographer, which
is en li tied to much attention, is as
follows. " Many of his changes are
unnecessary, others har&h and impro-«
bable. He shows a pro|}ensity to con-
fine the limits of poetical license too
closely, and thus to reduce the lan-
guage of Horace into prose. But when
he defends his corrections by analogy,
he brings forth the riches of his learn-
ing as from an inexhaubiible mine :
and the reader, whether convinced or
not, respecting the particular point
under discussion, is sure to Bnd his
knowledge increased ; and hence it
will be observed that the very errors of
Benlley are instructive.'* The great

replv to Collins'* Diicnvrsc on F'ee-

serves) " he has made ill aulhor a

tics who are tempted 10 employ iheir
puny sophistry on repealed religion. He

so ihat (says Dr. Monk) there have
been no cnvilt founded on the varia-
lion of MSS, which may not be found
answered in the pages of I'liilclcuthe-
ru9. The applause obtained by Bent-
ley for this perfonnance was great and
unitersal, il receiving the united thanks
of the wliole bench of Bishops. It it
lo be lamented, however, that Bentley
was called off from finiihing his rcfu-
laiion of Freethinking ptlnciplei by
the attention which he was obliged to
devote to the concerns of ihc College
prosecution. Ail obstacles 10 the ex-
ercise of his fuQciions being removed,

sity was in oeneral so sensible of his

eolred to return him its public thanka
far his Answers to Collins; which
was done emphatically, and nem, cpit.
At this time the flames of rebellion
had broken out in Scotland and the
north of England, and e civil war waa
undertaken, to place a Popish Monarch
on ibe throne, when Dr. Bentley deli«
vered oo the 6th of November at Cam*

cable to the spirit of Popery, whose
various institutions tend chiefly to that
eflKect. In this most masterly production
Bentley quite unmasks the system of
Flipal imposture, with e^ual learning
ana argument, though in language
plain as the reasoning is forcible i till,
gtvdually rising into warmth, **indig'
naHo facii virntmt** and he pours
forth a strain of eloquence almost unri-
valled. Of this Dr. Monk gives an
extract, and observes that '*the con-
cluding and finest part has been pur-
loined by the sentimental plagiarist in
his sermonof Trim inTrtstramShandy.'*
Bentley now again began, unfortu-
nately, to carry his measures at College
in the style of an irresponsible auto-
crat, and attempted to dispose of the
College livings afler his own views.
This oaused the Fellows to a^in seek
redress by a petition to his Majestv. In
1716 Bentley formed a plan for publish-
ing a new edition of the Greek Testa-
ment, in which the text should be re-
stored with certainty in a method never
yet attempted. And though his hours
of study were devoted to the prepara-
tions for this roifthty work, which was
first suggested to him by Wetstein (who
aflerwerds himself accomplished it,
^rhap§ more eJaborateJr,) yet he me-

Dslphim, but meant to eclipse it in
critical acGuncy« That soheme, how*-
ever, was never carried into effect,
owing to some misunderstanding as to
the terms of his engagement, and the
mode of remurteration.
In 1717 Bentley experienced a vira*
lent attack from Richard Johnson
(Master of Nottingham School, and
author of Noctes Nottinghamicee,
Grammatical Commentaries, &c.) in
aome strictures on his Horace, en-
titled ^' Aristarchua Anti-Bentleianus."
Hia censures, like Kerr's, were chiefly
directed at errors in Latinity ; and hia
accurate knowledge of the Latin lan-
guage enabled him fully to act the cen«
sor in detecting minute errors of coin
struction ; and no mercy does the stern
pedagogue show— but scourges his vic<»
tim with the *' full strength of his right
arm," and heaps terms of reproach and
contumely, like a splenetic schoolmas-
ter on blundering bovsl Although
not a few of Johnson s strictures are
well founded, yet the work failed to
produce any such eSiect as the writer
inteiided, being little noticed 1^ tho
public, and quite unheeded by the
object of hia antipathy, which perhapa
occasioned the menul alienation that
led to suicide.
In the year 1717 Dr. Bentley wat
ejected to the exalted post of Re-
gius Professor of Divinity, the most
valuable as well as moat dignified of-
fice in the University. Our only re-
gret is, that the attainment of a station
which he waa admirably qualified to
fill, was effected, (as Dr. Monk's re-
searches ascertain,) by manoeunre and
stratagem. His probationary PreteC"
tion was on the authenticity of the
disputed heavenly witnesses in 1 John.
The composition has unaccountably
been lost, though it was seen by Per-
son in his younger davs, and by Dr,
Vincent, the learned Dean of VVest-
^ minster. Its contents, however, are col-
lected with certaiuty byour Biographer.
Beptley, it appears, gave a regular his-
tory of the verse, and an account of
the manner sn which the pasaage of
$i. John is quoted by ancient writers }
and concluded with a decided r^ec-
tivn qf the verse; maintaining at the
sanrie time the doctrine of the Trini^
in ills orthodox acceplatkifi, and show^
ins that it stands in do need of such
dubiovAinp^i. .

Another general Parliament was
called for S3 July, 131S. The per-
sons cited were,
<< Bishops -81, AbboU, &c. 58, Peers 60."
To this record is annexed the list of
Jodfl^es, and *' Clerici de consilio.''
This Parliament was again prorogued
.•till SO Aug. 1312, and then were sum-
moned,
'< Bishops SI, Abbots, &c. 55, Peers 53."
The summons for the 18th March*
.1313, is addressed to
<< Bishops 90, Abbots, &c. 49, Peers 97."
That for the 8th July, 1313, to
<* Bishops 17, and the Costos of CaaUr-
bury vacant 1 , Abbots, &c. 50, Peers 9^*"
On the 23d Sept. 1313, another Par-
liament was summoned (to which is
annexed safe conduct for certain Earls
and Barons, provided thejr came un-
armed), and tne summons is addressed
to .
« Bishops 19, AbboU, &c. 50, Peers 1 1 1."
For the Parliament of 21 April,1314,
were summoned,
<* Bishops (or their representatives) 18,
Abbots, &c. 44, Peers 98."
In the writ for postponing this Par-
liament, in order to proceed against the
Scots, we find added Rob, de Umfir^m-
vt//. Earl f^ Angus, whose name is not
included in the original summons.
We shall now summarily state the
'several Parliaments and numbers of
Peers summoned.
'9 Sept. 1314. Bishops IQ, Abbots 48,
Peers 110, but the Jud^s and Mas-
ters in Chancery are mixed up with
the list.
20 Jan. 1315. Bishops 1Q, Abbots, &c.
48. Peers QS. Here the list of Judges,
jtc. is distinct.
27 Jan. 1316. Bishops IQ, Abbots,
&c. 48, Peers g5^ Judges, &c. dis-
tinct.
6 Odt. 1320. Bishops 21, Abbots 31,
Peers 84.
15 July, 1321. Bishops ig. Abbots,
&c. 54, Peers 99.
2 May, 1322. Bishops I9, Abbots, &c.
54, Peers 81.
14 Nov. 1322. Bishops 21, Abbots
31, Peers 62.
20 Oct. 1324. Here occurs a Trac-
talus only; for the writ names only
** Colloquium et Tractatum," and not
a Parliament also (see p. 31? acq);
whereas in p. 334, two years after-
wards, Parliamenla, Colloquium, ei
Tracialus, are mentioned in the writ,
as to be held at the same time. But
there certainly was a distinction be-
tween a Tractatus and a Parliament,
and one most clearly prominent, viz.
that in a Tractatus no burgesses were
elected, only two knights for every
shire (see p. 319 seq.) whereas in a
Parliament it was indispensable to
unite burgesses. A Tractatus appears,
according to Ducange, to have been a
term appropriated to the councils of
Bishops. A Tracutus here has the
aspect of a packed Parliament, for
there were summoned only Bishops 1 9,
Abbots, &c. 8, Peers 56.
3 March, 1325, a Tractatus only.
Bishops 17» AbboU 23, Peers 59.
15 April, 1325, (a prorogation). Bi-
shops and Abbots, as before. Peers 4Q.
25 June, 1325, a Parliament. Bi-
shops 17, Abbots 31, Peers 44.
18 Nov. 1325, Bishops 19, Abbots
31, Peers 44.
13 Oct. 1326. A writ for a Collo-
guy and Tractate, addressed to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, ** cum ^ut-
lusdam (some) Prelates, Magnates, and
Proceres."— p. 349.**
We shall now try to illustrate these
matters. There were partial and ge-
neral Parliaments. To the latter the
whole of 4he nobility were soromoned ;
but only upon occasions of great emer-
gency.

that persons summoned to council
were sometimes sulky, and would not
give an opinion when asked, which
conduct was deemed contumacious
and disrespectful (p. SBS); that others
took Fretieh leave, and were recalled
under menaces; that some peers, as
Rob. dc Unifravill, Earl of Angus, and
John de Bretagne, Earl of RicTiinond,
were only occasionally summoned ;
and that in one wrii for calling a n«w
Parliament, and another for proroguing
it, there is a partial, not considerable
ehanee of persons.

ink, the law and custom of the
Im, and if exceptions do occur, the;
iplf only what have ensued in all
ng*, vit. abuses. At the same time,
il Patliamrniary duty was rather
onus than a gratilicBiian,
inc Aing s name was used sometimes
in a most irreverent manner. Rob. dc
Winchelsee, Archbishop of Canter-
bury (says Stephen Birchingion), re-
proiied the King in his P.ir1iainenls and
Councils (Angl. Sacr. i. 17) ; and be-
cause lie, the Archbishop, had refused
clergy, he was (exiTa-poiitui) put out
of the King's favour, peace, and pro-
tection. (Id. p. 14.) Now in acjuar-
rel between a great man and an infe-
rior, the former never succumbs, but
from interest, necessity, or contempt ;
but the clerey contrived lo defy the
Sovereign, through opposing tu him
the Pope, who in point of fact was ihe
preserver of the Church property, and
the paiion and benefactor of the cleri-
cal order. It is very true that his bulls
were not cannon-shot, but they were
ghoslswhich commanded away IhiDush
terror. The clergy of thoie days could
Duly be taxed in convocations; and it
is most certain, that, like Lincolnshire

VI. Private Life of Charlesihe First,
Love of the Arts. If, says Mr. Dis-
raeli (p. 101), there be no love of the
arts, the mind will not be moulded by
the Graces, and serious mischiefs, con-
sequent upon barbarism, will flow
from vulgar minds.
** Among the list of the grievances of
the Commons in 1685, we find one com-
plaining of the building of all houses in
London, in one uniform wav> with a face of
brick towards the streets. To this grievance
Charles replied, that a refprmation in build-
inffs was a good reformation, and he was re-
solved to proceed with Uiat work. No
doubt the good citisens of London were
then destitute of any architectural taste ;
since even the decent appearance of bricking
their fronts, and improving the salubrity of
the city — where wooden houses were huddled
together in all inconvenient forms, nests for
their scourge the plague, which was so
oflen breathing in their faces — was consider-
ed as a national grievance.
" It was now still worse at London than
at Edinbufgh. Among the barbarians, who,
like a second irruption of the Goths and
Vandals, became those of England, the
avowed enemies of art and artists— the Pu-
ritans on one side, and the Levellers on the
other^ excite our indignation as much for
their brutalizing ignorance, as their ca-
lumnies. Among the vulgar spirits, it is
painful to add Muton. He reproached the
King for admiring and reading Shalapeare."
There is oo philosophical truth better
established, than that the Sectaries of
the Reformation have impeded uni-
formly the progress of the arts. With-
out luxury there can be no civiliza-
tion ; and if Christianity be the reli-
gion of Puritanism, it must be the re-
ligion only of Barbarism, for austerity
cannot predominate where there is not
poverty. The nation was not ripe for
the aru^ because it was not sufficiently
msd, aad consequently not fufficientJy
InzoriouB. There are three or ratller
four stages of society, the honting, the
pastoral, the agricultural, and the com-
mercial. The agricultural was the
stage, which chiefly characterized the
sera ; and the latter only existed in the
humble form of mere mechanics, who
supplied humble wants. Agricultural
avocations are unfavourable to abstrac-
tiou and intellectuality. Newton would
have only been a mole-catcher^ with a
new trap; Watt, with his steam, an
itinerant conjuror; Locke a fortune-
teller ; and Hippocrates a qoack-doctor,
if they had had to depend only upon the
patronage of farmers. No art or science
will be cultivated before it becomes a
mode of subsistence, and it will not be-
come a mode of subsistence until luxury
is general ; and that again is dependent
npon the diffusion of wealth. No-
thing can more clearly exhibit the sa-
▼ageoessof English habits at the time,
than that at the trial of Strafford the
members of the House of Commons
carried bread and cheese in their
pockets, and ate it in their hands,
while they handed the bottle from
mouth to mouth, without a cup or
glass. Such were the sava^ by whom
the refined Charles was tried and mur-
dered.
VII. The influence of the Queen on
the Kins*s conduct. Henrietta was a
volatile French girl, and Mr. D'lsraell
proves, that she had neither a taste for
politics, nor exercised any business in-
fluence.
VIII. The Percy family. A most
disgusting picture of duplicity and
baseness.
IX. The Coronation in Scotland.
The Five le Roi of poor Louis Seize,
when he left Versailles for the capiul.
Caloin had been crowned King of
Scotland Ions before ; or rather he was
the Pope of the Reformation, and acted
the same part, and did the same things
in another form.
X. to XIV. The Critical History of
the Puritans. Philosophers do not
think that the Almighty is honoured,
by being characterized as a mere stiff
dissenter; but thousands thought so
during the reign of Charles the First,
and still continue to think so. No
persons interfere so much in the aflairs
of the Omnipotent as the uneducated
and vulgar, as no persons are so critical
in the affairs of their masters and mis-
tresses, as the lowest domestics. But

—p. 191.
We have read that Merino sheep
may be fattened, but we made the ex-
periment with full grass, and failed.
It IS however plain, that we have both
/as/cA cry and much wool, though it
may he of low price. We are glad in
consolation to hear, that
« The climate and food of New South
Wales promises to produea what the bwt
cultivation does elsewhere." — ^p. 186.
IX. Music made easy. We do not
understand how any thing can be made
easy, which requires perpetual practice
andf great skill. As to modern music,
Stentor appears to be more the god of
it than Apollo. The gurgling murmur
of air and melody is sacrificed for the
roar of a cataract; the soft for the
boisterous ; and bellowing for talking,
as if all auditors were deaf. Wind in-
struments (says our critic, p. 213}
chiefly ^ive the colouring in orchestra
compositions, but they are in general
played too loud. Amateurs and per-
formers will find much instruction in
this excellent article.
Why music is not so successfully
cultivated in this as other countries,
the Reviewer thus explains :
« If Bngjand were but once again a cheap
country to live in, we should see more fre-
c^uently the results of the industry, the pa-
tience, and taste of her inhabitants. A
reasonable leisure musters! be put in the
power of that people, and it would be then
easy to make the diffusion of musical linow-
kdge more than keep pace with the success
of mechanic institutes, —-p. 199.
According to Mr. Bowles, there is
no original English music but the old
Hundredth Psalm.
X. Fontaniers Travels in Asiatic
Turkey, Slavery is mentioned in the
Bible without reprobation, because
otherwise there would have been no
civilization. Without cheap labour,
there would have been neither riches
nor leisure, and in thinly peopled coun-
tries, where there exists a great dispro-
portion between the demand and sup-
ply of labour, had it not been for
slavery, masters would never have been
more than little farmers, scarcely able
to read^-certainly not fit to be mem-
bers of civilized society (see Letter from
Sidney, p. 35. Certain it is, that the
acts of Providence, and the notions of
Sectaries concerning slavery, have not
harmonized; for had there never been
any slaves, there would never have
been any masters. Domestic slavery
is of a gentle kind, but never produces
distinguished persons, because it is not
productive of riches. Carrying^ off a
damsel or two, is mentioned m the
song of Deborah, and we shall extract

of them learn to read and write. They go
to the same school up to the ag« of eight
or nine yean. Their education at home is
very nearly the tame as for the male sex.
From their earliest vouth nothing is con*
coaled from them which relates to the du-
ties of a woman. This method has doubt-
less the grave inconvenience of introducing
hito conversation a license of which we can
form no idea. Women of the town would
be ashamed in Europe to make use of the
terms which giils in Asia eropby in the
ordinary course of conversation. This is
only, however, license of expression, and is
not inconsistent with true modesty. Such
is education in Turkey and Persia." — p.S95.
In p. 834, we find a poor priest, who
had been often bastinadoed, saying,
** look at my feet, I have not a nail
upon my toes, they have all dropped
off under the stick.'* A log of wood
has a cord attached for binding the
feet during the punishment. — p. 239.
Among the minor articles we find
the following curious and hitherto un-
known information concerning the
constituent parts of Gothic architec-
ture. The name of tbe work from
which it is extracted is entitled
**Antichita Romantiche d'ltalia/'
compiled by the two cousins Sacchi.
The particular portion, to which we
allude, is church architecture, and the
well-known symbol of the " Vesica
Piscis," seems to have originated
through the following causes :
<* Our authors then proceed to speak of
the churches raised under the dommion of
'the Longobards in the nortk of Italy, and
give a full description of the principal ones.
They then treat of the symbolic art among
tbe early Christians, which they define as
the represetUaiions of dogmas, mysteries, and
reiigious truths, by means t^f determinate
firms, imagesy and cyphers, in the architec-
ture of their churches; a sort of mystic
science, which the initiated alone under-
stood. This science was divided into her-
metic and orphic ; the first referring to the
plan and shape of the church, the number
of angles and faces it itresented, and Uie
second| or orphic, consisting in ,the orna-
ments and other accessories, regulating the
colour and quality of the materials employ-
ed, the disposition of the cyphers or mono-
grams sculptured over the gates and other
parts of the building, the figures of animals,
and other sculptural omamenu, all having a
mystical meaning. And the authors quote
repeatedly the epistles * De Angelici Hie-
rarchic,* and «De Theologift Symbolicl,'
attributed to S. Dionysius Areopagita, but
which in fact were written by the Bishop
Syaasiai, who lived ia the filth century.
Ine whole of this chapter (pp. 138—176)
is full of curious and mteresting investiga-
tions."— p. 854.
We have another important acces-
sion in p. 273 :
'* Lithography has flourbhed from time
immemorial in the principal city of Tibet,
and has been employed in delineating in
for^ plates the anatomy of the various parts
of the huflsan body."
No persons are more likely to know
less of what passes at home than those
whose researches are abroad. We al-
lude to a paragraph in p. S60, where
the elegant work on Autographs, by
Mr. J. G. Nichols, is ascribea to his
father "Mr. Bowyer Nichols;*' and
stated as being, though complete, un-
finished. Such mistakes should be
avoided, because they induce a sus-
picion of carelessness in research, or
mdilFerence as to statement, where
facts are concerned. Authors should
borrow a lesson here from lawyers and
wise men ; not subject themselves even
to suspicions. Caesar*s wife ought not»
&c.
It is impossible that any one whose
researches are limited to his country,
can be so serviceable as those who tell
us what genius, science, or ex|)edience,
efllect in other regions. If one nation
borrows from another, this allegation
is established. It is sufficient, there-
forcy for us to say that no design is
better qualified to promote sencral uti-
lity, than this Review; ana that it has
no other fault to be laid to it, than that
it is too partial to continental imper-
fection, where reason, pure taste, and
strength of intellect are the standards
of excellence.

not see that there was any dificrcnce
whether the college received their
rents in money or goods. But *' the

Ma. MURRAY seems to liave a
predilection for electricity; and no
ardent lovers neglect their mistres^s.
The only doubt is, whether they do
not in general over-estimate their
charms ; and sincere as is our declara-
ration of the keenness and value of Mr.
Murray's research, we onjy fear that
in an iustaixu: or two he haa rather too
much assumed the operation of elec-
tcicity aa th« instigating cause of soma
phenomena. At the same time wa
j/# satisfied that the whole eiUMit of
Mf ^Sefiemy /> aoi known, ami thai
his assigned causes may be true, al*
though they are not clearly proved.
Bat we feel no inclination to expatiate
on the subject, and think it oi some ^
importance to lay before our readers
the novel subject of parasreles, con-
geners of conducting ro£, but far
more efficient, Mr. Murray thinks, in
loeal protection.
From the injury done to corn and
vines by hail, paragreles are exten-
sively used in Italy, Switaerlaod, and
France, In their original form they
consisted of poles, surmounted with a
point of brass, from the lower extre-
mity of which proceeded, as a con-
ductor, a straw rope, with a strong
linen thread twisted throughout its
extent. It has been improved, and is
represented in the frontispiece. But
we are further told, that Pinnanzi of
Mantua, as early as 1788, proposed ilie
erection of numeroua metallic points
in the Belda, for the purpose of de-
prirtng the clouds of tnelr electricity^
and thus preventing their resolution
into harl. Afterwards M. L'Apostolle
of Geneva endeavoured to modify
"The erection! proposed by Pionaasi,
by (he sabsiifeution of straw roues ooly \ but
these were found to be insufScient, and had
ftUea inlo dneredia and oblivion, when
Moaa. Tollaid of the CoUage of Tarbet in
Fraoca, in the dapartmant of the High Py^
rannees, revived toaa in a modified form ;
his plan was to erect poles of willow, pop-
lar, pine, chesnut, &c. armed with sharpen-
ed brass pointa, attached to a rope formed
of ripe barley or rye-straw twisted through-
out, and contended tbat he had thus suc-
ceeded in securing a territory of ten eom-
unmcr." — p. IS I.
The efficacy of them having been
controverted, the following testimo-
nies among others have been adduced
in their favour :
" Sign. Perotti of Sao Giovanni di Caa-
sara, having plstitad paragreles on an extent
uf 16,000 perches, found that hia com fields
and vineyards had sustaiaed no damage,
though fiurleen storms bad passed over
them, and fell in full fury on the neighbour-
ing lands.'*
** By order of the Sanl'nian Govemment^
1467, paragreles were placed near Cham-
bery, on a chain of mountains, from their
base to their summit. On the 5th of Au-
gust, 1895, a violent stoim took place,
whicb extended exterior to the pale of the
paragreles, bat no hall fell among them ;
beyond their sphere, however, boSh hail
aad thunder were abiiadBnl.'*-^p. 144.

UEViBW.^-Pickerlng on Emigration.
[Aug.
for his two works are curious and in*
stractive.
ErmgnUion or no Emigration f being the
. Narrative qf ike Author fan English
FanmerJ Jrom the year 1894 to I8d0»
during whieh time he traversed the United
States of America and the British Province
qf Canada^ with a view to settle as an
Emigrant, By Joseph Pickerings late of
Fenny Stratford^ Buckinghamshire, ISmo..
pp, 139.
THE results of certain measures^
whatever may be abstractedly said in
vindication of those measures, are cer-
tainly those described in the following
paragraph :
• " Are there one half the number of pro-
Iirieton and occupien of land now in £ng*
and there were aO or 40 years ago ? Is it
not a notorious hct, that Urge landed pro-
prietors buy all the small farms and lots of
land they can meet with ! I have known
parishes that had forty or more small pro-
prietors and occupiers of land, where now
there is not more than one -third of that
number; the remainder generally becoma
labourarSf nearly their only resource, throw*
inig an extra quantity of tne article of labour
uto a market sufficiently supplied, and con-
sequently depreciation its value below a just
and equitable price, tne landholder and fund-
holder reaping the benefit from the deprecia-
tion. But it will be asked, why will farm-
ers give a greater rent than they can afford?
I answer^ because those fiiruers that still
have a little money left must rent a farm at
some price ; they cannot do any thing else t
all other tndet and occupations are already
overdone. 'J'be landlord is enabled to keep
up his high rents by throwing three or four
larnis into one, thereby creating a competi-
tion, by reducing the number in the mar-
ket; while, as I before said, two or three of
these fisrmers must probably go to the pa-
rish I the one that gets the enlarged fium
will curtail his expenses to meet the high
rent, by reducing the number of htbouwrs
kept on the four farms ; thus he impove-
rishes the farm, and that in return impo-
verishes him, until perhaps in a. short time
his resource also is in the same degraded
station, the parish."
Now it IS impossible that poor lands
can be brought into foil production
without a large stock, especially of
sheep, and such a stock cannot be
supported without a sufficient domain ;
and if the system augments the num-
ber of paupers, as Mi. Pickering pre-
aomes, then, as he says, 'Emigration
appears the only remedy in the hands
<if those who may have sufficient mo-
iMff to carry ihtm out of the influence

This being a book of travels, we
shall, according to our custom, make
some amusing or instructive extracts.
We generally apply the term Yankee
to all Americans ; but its specific mean-
ing beyond the Atlantic is a native of
New England, and is synonymous with
a Yorkshire bite in England.
Old residents (it seems) do not mind
the bite of the rattle-snake or copper-
head, because many vegetable antidotes
are well known in the woods, (p. 46.)
Thus it seems that the study of medi-
cal botany highly merits the public
attention, and vindicates the Society
which has been instituted for its en-
couragement.
It seems that
** Oxen will drive any number of wolves,
and even throw down the strongest fence,
with a strange noise to get at them, when
a calf or cow is attacked.'^ — p. 53.
Every body has laughed at Mat-
thews*s ludicrous exhibition of an
American Militia training day. The
truth is, that, except under iirospect
of a war, it is "men-Iy a frolic" for
the youngsters once a year. — p. 56.
T'he method of road and canal mak-
ing deserves notice for its cheapness
and expedition.
« With a kind of large shovel, having a.
handle (called a scraper], and a yoke of
oxen, the dirt is drawn into the centre, and
rounded, which is called *' turnpiking."
Four men and two yoke of oxen, one yoke
and two men to plough, and the other to
scrape, will do as much work in this way,
wbere there are no obstructions, as fifteen
or twenty men in the same time by the or-
dinary way of digging." — p. 69.
The Americans have some dirty
customs.
** Some smart lasses came in during tlie
evening, most of whom took a smoke with
the landlord and the landlady, passing the
short black pipe from one to another ! Dis-
gusting as this practice is, it is not so much
as one in common use in the eastern part of
Maryland, of girls Uking a « rubber" of
snuff — that is, taking as much snuff as will
lie on the end of tbs forefinger out of a
box, and rubbing it round the inside of the
mouth."— p. 71.
Concerning the importance of Ca-
nada, as a check uix>n American am*
bition, our author says,
** At the commencement of the late war,
the province was invaded by the Americana
in great force, who had the choice of points
of attack. They burnt several places ; and
expected an easif coii(\ucs( from the unprt-

THIS amply retrieves the dullness
and frivolity of the two previous vo-
lumes. We have now Dr. Doddridge
presented in his true character. A
sound scholar and an accomplished
divine, devoting heart and soul to the
hiboors of his ministry, and dedicating
his gjreat acouirements to the service m*
religion: aoorning the doctrine he
pfeached by holiness of life, and pre-
siding over his pastoral charge wiih a
ilfrnplicity of purpose, a singleness of
h^art, and a fervour of anxious watch-
fttlness, rarelv equalled, and never sur-
passed. His letters are truly delightful \
to playfulness of fancy he unites so-
briety of thought y the outpourings of
an aflfectionate heart, and a devout
spirit, are arrayed in language eleeant
and chaste : while his epistolary style is
classical and ** English undehfed."
fiis deliverance from the thraldom of
the flirts, whom he distinguished by
his attentions in the former volunies, is
refreshing to witness ^-tvhilst as a
husband and a father he now presents
a beautiful picture of that cenjugal
love and parental tenderness which is
founded on the solid basis of Chrisdan
principles, cemented by perfect cooge-
nialitj of tastes and sentiments, and
sanctified by a consciousness of the
high responsibilities appertaining to
such sacred engaeemenls. His corre-
spondence with Warburton and Clarke

learning — his critical acumen^ and his

Puk* of Orleant tnnounced that ha had ao«
oeded to the withes of tht DepatieSf addioff
that ha would place himself in the midst m
the heroic people of Paris » and exert all his
efforts to preserve them from the ill effects
of anarch J and civil war. *< TlieChambersi"
ha addedy '* are going to assemhle ; they
will consider of the means of securing the
reign of the laws, and the maintenance of
the richts of the nation. The Charier uM
hinerfartvard be a truth,**
During this day the whole populatioa
ware reposing after their victory, cheerfuly
and ready for a new engagement. TUp
atreetSy the quays, and tlie Boulevards, were
unpaved here and there, and carefully barri-
ceded. The balconies and terraces were filled
with paving-stones. The citizens who were
not at first furnished with arms, now had
time to procure them, and were eagerly in*
acribing their names in their respective
vuroralties. The popular magistrates, io-
jlailad by the Constitutional Committee,
iumisfaed them with cartridges. On th^
■other hand, the military government was dis-
heading, and its troops filled up the squares
of the national guard. In this emergency^
Marshal Marmont consented Co take the
command of such of the troops, including
iha Swiss guards, as remaineid faithful to
the King. A variety of movements were
jnade to vtnnidate the populace, but with-
out answering the purpose intended, the
threats and acts of intimidation rather tend-
ing to increase the popular ferment. Tlie
next step taken by the general was to cut
off from the capital the supply of provisions,
and endeavour to starve the Parisians into
subjeetioo. On the other hand, Laborde,
at the bead of the national guards, was
equally active in taking measures to coun-
teract tliose of General Marmont. In the
mean time, however, Chailes left St. Cloud
with his suite in ten carriages. The
4th regiment of royal guards, which was
left nt 8t. Cloud to secure his retreat, was
attacked by a multitude of the armed in-
habitants of that town, the neigbbouriog
conmuines, and the city of Paris. The na-
tional party, under the command of three
students of the Polytechnic school, tri-
umphed; the royalists threw away their
muskets, after carefully breaking the locks.
The palace of St. Cloud was not pillaged,
but the royal arms were everywhere defaced.
At Versailles the people had taken up arms,
disarmed the gardbf du corps, and forbidden
the monarch to enter their gates.
On Suurday the Chamber of Deputies
met : M. Lafitte was president. A procla-
mation by the Duke of Orleans was read,
and 10,000 ordered to be printed. The oom-
xnisaioo appointed to wait on his royal high-
ness brought up their report by General
Sebaatiani. The language oif the Duke, tbev
Mut^ braaihgd )ove of order Ukd the laws, the
4udtta$ duJjv oftpviDg Frsmce the scoui^e
pf oivil and foreign war, tha wnh to make
lite charter real. Tha Duka had proposed
the immediate convocation of the Chambers*
A manifesto, relating to tha provinces the
events of the capital, and applauding with
gratitude the exertions of the people, was
agreed upon. Benjamiu Constant would
submit the cuaraotees which he had pre-
pared to convince the people of the purity of
their Deputies, and their perfect freedom.
The Deputies then resolved to go in a body
to the Palais Royale, to wait on the Duke o(
Orleans, and tkience, with the LieutenantT
l^eneral of the kingdom, proceedad to the
Hotel d« Ville, in order to qniet the doubt
and agitation with which the public mind
waa agonised. Lafitte, as president, read the
proelsmation, which the Duke approved.
11m Deputies were everywhere greeted with
rapture and enthusiasm; but it waa with
jnort intense delight and astonishment that
tha people beheld the second proctssion^
with the Duke of Orleans, move to tha Ho*
td de Ville. The Duke continued to show
himself at the window, and to throw hit pror
clamations among tiie crowd.
On the 1st of August, Charles X. and his
family passed through St. Pye, on tha way
to Rambouillet. He loul his son were on horse^
hack, surrounded and followed by a garde
du eorpe. The ministers were in tlieir car-
riages. The guard was SOOO strong, with
artillery. — On the 9d, Charles, in despair,
retired to Rambouillet. Finding it Im-
possible to retreat to La Vend^, he waa
compelled to ask of the Provisional Govern-
ment a sale conduct to the first sea- port,
and offered to abdicate in favour of his grand-
son tlte Duke de Bourdeaux.
On Tuesday tlie 3d of August, the LieUf-
tenaat-general of the kingdom opened the
two Chambers with the followbg speech :
*' Peers and Deputies — Paris, troubled in
ita repose bv a deplorable violation of tha
charter and tlie laws, defended them with he-
roic courage ! In tlte midst of this sangnir
nary struggle, all the gnaraotees of aodal
order no longer subsisted. Persons, pro-
perty, rights- everything that b most v*-
liutble and dear to men sind to citizens, was
•xposed to the roost serious danger. In this
abaence of all public power, the wishes of
my fellow citizens turned towards me ; they
have judged me worthy to concur with
them in the salvation of the country ; they
have invited me to exercise the functions of
Lieutenant-general of jtbe kingdom. Their
cause appeared to me to be just — the dan-
gars immense— the necessity imperative —
my duty sacred. I hastened to the midst of
this valiant people, followed by my family,
and. wearing those colours, which, for tlie
second time, have marked among us the tri-
umph of liberty.

SOUTH AMERICA.
OuATiMALA. — ^7*he city of Guatemala and
ila envircms, in the re|niblic of Central
America, has been destroyed by an earth-
qnake. For five days there was a succession
of the most frightful tremblings, which still
continued at the departure of the mail,
shaking to their fuundationi and prostrating
to the earth the principal edifices, and com*
palling the unfortunate inhabitonts to flee to
the public squares and into the country,
whore, to protect themselves from the
weather, they had erected huts of palm-mats.
The temples, which had already l>een robbed
of their furniture and deprived of their mi-
nisters (persecuted and iMnished), are ren-
dered useless, particularly the l>eautiful
church of St Francisco, which, on account
of its size and pouden>us structure, has
suffered most. The town of Amatitlan, a
place of recreation in the vidnity, has licen
totally destroyed. Guatemala was founded
in 1594, on the declivity of a mountain, at
whose summit was a volcano. In 1751 it
was overwhelmed bv an eaithquake, and by
matter from the viJcano. In 1775. having
lieen partially rebuilt, it was again destroyed
by an earthquake, and the greater part of
the inhabitants buried in its niins. Its pre-
sent site is about 25 miles south of the old
town.
DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.
LONDON AND ITS VICINITY.
By a command fr«>m his Majesty the
fnllowing alterations are hereafter to take
place in the Army:— The unifttrm of the
Officers of the Regular Forces to be laced in
g«ild. The Cavalry, with the exception of
the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), to be
dreaded in red. The mustachios of the
Cavalry (excepting the Life Guanis, the
Royal Harse Guftrcis, and the Hussars) to
be abolished. The fi>ur regiments of Hiis-
sara t«» he dressed perfrctly alike. 1'heir
officers t4> have one drrs.i only, and that of
a less costly pattern. The cap lines and
tassels worn on the caps of the officers and
men of the Infantry to be abitlished, and
the feather of lioth <ifficer and aoldier to be
ahortened. Tiie gorget to l)e alM>lished.
The officers and men of the Light Infantry
to wear a green tuft instead of a feather.
The banda of Infantry regiments to be dressed
in white clothing with the regimental facings.
Tha aur upon the officer's epaulette to be
that of the Order of the Bath, instead of tliat
c/kA# On/fr of the Garter. 'Vhe ferjeaots of
Infantry to be armed in future with fusils
instead nf pikes.
The activity of the King astonishes every
bt>dy : he ap|)ears to inherit all the early
and temperate habits of his father. He
rises at six o'clock, at which hour the
messengers from the different Government
offices are ap|x)inted to be in attendnnce,
when, with the assistance of Sir Herliert
Taylor, he gets through the despatches with
incredible celerity, and immediately fur-
wards the messenjrers on their rrturn. On
the 6'th inst the King and Queen went in
state to the Tower of London, accompanied
by the Duke of Sussex and Prince George
of Cumberland. They were escorted by a
deuchment of Life Guards throuqii the City
to the Tower. The Duke of Welliugton aa
Constable of the Tower, G.^neral I^iftus aa
Lieutenant, Sir J. Doyle as Deputy, and
Major Elringtima^ Fort Major of the Tower,
received their Majesties. The Lord Mayor
preceded the King on entering the Tower.
Their Majesties and suite partook of a

' INTELLIGENCE FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Jmbf ao. Captain Moir wat tried at
Cbclmtfbrd for the murder of William Mal-
eo)m« afifthermaoi at Little Warnham, in
Swex* on the 17th of last March, by shoot-
isg hin with a pistol. It appeared that the
deecMed was in the habit of trespassing on
the grounds of the prisoner for the porpoM
of fishing, notwithstanding repeated prohi-
Mtione^ On one of these occasions the
Cisoner became greatly exasperated, and
nf lag procured a pistol fi^om his residence,
iwd at the deceased i tiie shot brolce the
mnu of the deceased, and he ultimately died
§nm lock jaw. The prisoner in his de-
§mm eaid he had been trained up to a mili-
iHy life, and had sold out of the 87th
wgiwent two years atfo. He accounted for
kb piitole being loaded by saying tliat the
oonatry round about his house was infested
by a set of desperate characters, which ren-
dered it necessary for him to to be prepared
In meet them. The Jury returned a verdict
of guilty, and he was executed on Monday
the fid of August. Considerable interest
wee made to procure a mitigation of Cap-
tain Moir's sentence, and a petition signed
by 1 1000 .persons was forwarded to tlie
Secretary of State, but in vain.— Cap-
tain Moir was a native of Forfiirshire,
and highly retpeclable by birtli and con-
nexions. He was brother-in-law to Sir
James Gardner Baird, Bart. ; a near relative
•a the veteran Sir David Balrd, the prede-
cessor of the Duke of Wellington in the
aommKnd of the peninsular army ; snd he
was also first cousin ti> Sir William Rae,
l^e present Lord Advocate for Scotkind.
He was descended by his grandmother's side
ffvkk tlw heroic Bruce, and was also con-
nected with the distinguished ftmilies of
Blah" of Blair, the Stewarts, and the Butes.
For seventeen years he served successively
in the 14th, 87th, and 40th regimenU of
Foot, and in the connc of such service ho
visited France, Spaing India, and An>eriea.
la the latter place he married the daughter
of' an ofBcier in the Artillery, by whom he
had three fine boys. In the year 18)8,
aeoompanied by his wife, he repaired with
his regiment to Gibralur, and while there
the yellow fever made its destructive ap-
pearance. Moir was attacked by it, and
suffered so severely that his life was long
despaired of. His brain was considerably'
affected, and he never had been perfectly
free Uovtk its effects. In one of the pa-
lysms caused by this malady during his
ia Canada, he tooli an opportunity,
wkea. alone, . of indicting several severe
wounds with a hatchet upon his forehead/
tha scan of which were very prominent to
the «Mt huCir of his Ufa. Tliia iaver pru--
dacfd the most disastruas inflaenae upon
his character and conduct : his disposition,
warm and irrascible before, but witlial gp..
nerous and humane, became through it so
susceptible, that, if insulted, ot excited by
ru|uor, his passions were uncontnillable, and
his actions and language appeared to be*
those of a madman. In tlie year 1898
Capt. Moir retired from the army, and his
aotive bnt unsteady mind turning its atten-
tion to agricultural pursnita, Iw took upon
lease the farm at Shellliaven Ciseek^ where he.
was residing when the unhappy event oc-
curred which has been the meana of termi-
nating his life on a scaffold.
Aug, 4. An explosion took place in tha
Bensham Seam of Jarrow Colliery, oo.
Durham, and tweuty-three men and savesi«
teen boys were instantly deetroyed, and
several others nuHre or less severely bun.
Tha Coroner proceeded to iavaatagate the
caose of this dreadful accident by holding
an iaquett. On examining the east drift of
tha nraae the cause of the accident uras ma-
nifeat. The whole front of the drift was
dataehad from the roof on the left side, as
if the block of coal forming tlie faoe of the
drift had been detached by a blast of gun-
iiowder* A ragged aperture, of about nine
inches wide, was lefl between the coal and
the roof, and a fissure about tlie same width:
torn out on the lefi hand side. On prub-
iag these apertures as far as they could
reach (about six feet at that time), they*
found notliii^ but open space behind. It-
then became quite dear that the miners had
holed into an old wasta* and that the frac-
ture waa occasioned by the elsstic force of
what they termed a bag of foulness, which
had beeu compreased in that species of na-
tural gasonetec, and which had rushed off
in an enormous qusntity, and fired at the
first light with wliich it came in contact,
Qunsuraing all the vital air In the small divi-
sion beyond the stone drifts, and filling tlie
workings with a dense smoke and after damp,
and deranging tlie veutilating ap|Mhratus so
much as to . cause the suffocation of the-
people before the air-course could be restored.

for upwtrdf of fifty yearly until his
death.
In 1783 the Hun. William Harcourt
was promuted to thn rank of Major-Ge-
neral in the army. At the tame period
he purchased St. Lieonard*! Hill of the
Dukeof Glouettur, whereupon the Kinf
appointed him Deputy Ranker of Wind-
sor Great Park, the Duke of Gloueester
at the same time being made Lieute-
nant of Windsor Forest.
In 1793 and 1794 this officer senred
with the armv in Flanders, where be had
the command of the cavalry, and whilst
there was raised to the rank of Lieut.-
General Oot. 1 in the former year. After
the return uf the Duke of York to Eng-
land, the command of the British troops
devolred upon Lieut.-Gen. Harcourt.
In 1795 he was appointed Governor of
Hull; an«i was made a General in l?98.
Oil the formation of the Royal Mili-
fary ColIej;e at Sandhu'St in 1799 the
Kin<; appointed General Harcourt the
first Governor. He retained the post for
nine years, when be resigned it for the
Government of Portsmouth.
Oil the death of his bruther April 20,
1809, (when a long character of that no-
bleman appeared in onr vol. LXXix. p.
480,) Geueral Harcourt succeeded to his
titles and estates; and was also appoint-
ed his successor In the post of Master of
the Horse to the Queen. Having re-
tained that honourable office to the pe-
riod of her Majesty's decease, he of course
attended her funer^il in 1818 In that cha-
racter. Always attached to the R^^I f^-
^ily, at the funeral of George theTbird in
1820 he walked at one of the AssistanU
to the Chief Mourner the Duke of York.
Earl Harcourt was invested with the
insignia of a Grand Cross of the Batb,
May 27, 1820.
In the coronation procession of King
GeOrge the Fourth in 1821, £;irl Har-
court carried the Union Suiidard. In the
^tieral promotiun in the army which
Uore the date of that solemnity, the Mar-
quess of Drogheda* and his Lordship,
%ho «kere then the two senior Generals
in the army, were elevated to the rank
of Field-Marshal. With the exception
of the Duke of Wellington, no other of-
ficers out of the Royal Family had at-
tained that high grade since 1796.t
. * The Marquess of Drogbeda died
Dee. 32, 1822 (see vol. xciii.L 83). He
was nearly thirteen years older than Lord
Harcourt ; and, bad be survived to the
present time, would fkhre completed a
century of years.
} t Our new Monarch has, like his bro
tber, made two Field- Marshals, in the
persons of his two senior Generals, Sir
'^^arcd Clarke and Sir Saviuel Hulse.
On the Ist of JanaaiY 1827* Earl Har^
court was promoted from the govern-
ment of Portsmouth to that of Plymouth,
the latter being then vacated by the
Duke of Wellington, on his Grace's suc-
ceeding, by the death of the Marquis of
Hastings, to the office of Constable of
the Tower*
On the 20tb of the same month, tba
venerable Field-Marshal attracted parti-
cular attention at the funeral of the
Duke of York ; bearing on that occasion
the baton of the deceased Commander-
in-chief.
In the early part of the late King's
illness his Lordship rode daily to Wind-
sor Castle to make inquiries. He was
himself destined to precede his Majesty
to the grave, after about five days con-
finement. His remains were interred
with bis ancestors at Stanton Harcourt.
Hts Lordship married, Sept. 3, 1778,
Mary, widow of Thomas Lockhart, of
Craig-house in Scotland, esq. aiid eldest
daughter of the Rev. William Danby,
D.D. of Farnley in Yorkshire. This lady
survives, having never had any family.
The Earl's estates chiefly devolve on
his coubin the Archbishop of York.
His will was proved on the 30th of
July. He leaves to his widow the
^ouse and estates at St. Leonard's- bill,
and the interest of 80.000/. for life, and
the Jewels, pictures, &c. in full property.
After her death, the two first go to the
Marquis and Marchioness d'Haroourt, in
France. On their death, the capital is
directed to be invested in land, and en-
tailed, with the St. Leonard's estates,
on the sons of the Marquis d'Harcourt
and his heirs male. In failure of such
issue, on George Harcourt, Esq. of Coop-
er^s Hill, near Egham (we presume the
i«presentative of the Archdeacon Har-
court before noticed). His Lordship di-
rects, that if the person who shall suc-
ceed to the lands purchased with the
80,000/. be absent from England more
than six months at one time, utiless he
be so in the civil or niiliiary service of
Great Britain, or under 2& years of age,
and travelling for his education, he shall
forfeit the advantages of such bequest.
Legacies to the amount of 6,000/. are
bequeathed, and the building of a school
on Clewer-green by the Countess. The
personalty is sworn under 180,000/.

about which no difficulty was expressed. The
device in question so closely resembled the
figure of a thunderbolt found on all Roman
aatiquities, that I felt no difficulty in pro-
notmeing it to be an imitation of that classi-
cal emblem. I must add that I see no-
thii^ in Mr. Oliver's lest letter on the sub-
Jeety (vol. c. part i. p. 691) to faidiiee me to
alter my opinion.'*
TopooRAPBUs observes—" On any point

I trust you will forgive me for troobliitgyon
with a query respecting an obtcnre pliieey
Bot mentioned, to the beat of my know-
ledge, in any of our old books or maps of
the roads. Mr. Ireland, in his * Pictn-
resqiie Views on the Hiver Thames,' vol. ii.
p. 47» says, when in the vicinity of Old
Windsor, * PassingOtueky towards JSgham,'
&c. Suspecting that it might derive its
nanM from the ancient Amily of Ouseley
(whose pedigree, with others of the old
Shropshire and Nonhamptonshire fiunilies,
had ror some time cagued my attention) I
requested a friend lesimag near Egham to
visit the place, and com'munieate to me all
that he could learn reapecting it. He found
there but one building with its offices, a
kind of iftn or public-house, which from a
sign of Five Bclb b called ' The Belb of
Ouseley.' It stands close to the fiver
Thames, among some fine old trees of con-
siderable size. It appears from a printed
handbill now before me that the estate of
Beaumont Lodge, other tenements, and the
* Belb of Onsetey,' were advertised for sale
at Chrrawav'a Coffeehouse in London on
the 15th of September, 1801. Is thb the
plaee to which Mr. Ireland, as above quoted^
allqdes? Any informatioB respecting its
name and origin will oblige. The Gratle-
maa's Magaiine for January, 1799, eoatains
some curious particubn,.with a view of the
monument of the Ouseley family in North-
emptonshire; from whom- thb place may
perhaps have derived its nanle."
A CoRRESPONDCNT wfites — *' A por-
tion of a Parish Register, begbningin 1671,
containing baptbms, marriues, and burials,
eaeh leaf or page signed « Tho. Frank, Rec-
tor,' and the names of divers Churchwardens
very regnlarlv until 1689, has fallen into my
hands, which I cooM wbh to restore to the
plaee to which it belongs, but have no means
of ascertaining of what parbh thb Thomas
Frabk was Kector, and the names, though
many of them very common, aflSDrdiajr no cine
to a discovery, not one parbh in fiucking-
hamshire, occurring to me as being likely to
own It t nor is there the name of one persou
or fomily of note, though probably many to
whom such an autheotic document might
eventuallv be Important. It strikes me tnat
Bedfordshire might possibly compriao the
parbh, but only from the similarity of some
very common names there in divers places.
In one place, * William Brittaio and
Mary Page, widdow, were msrryed on }*
thirteenth of Febraary, 1689; both these
persons were inhabitants of North Crawley
10 y* oounty of Bucks : Tho. Frank, Rector ;
George QUlett, Thomas Oromtet, Church-
waidens.'*>On the blank pegcat the ban-
ning is T. F. 1788 : to whom Uib relates,
whether to a relative of the Rector, Mr.
Firank, or not, b entiraly unknown. It was
pnrehosed amongst the offml uf an attorney's
offioe in London, as b asserted, many years
ago : and by a subsequent sale has been
.tiansferred to the inquirer. The venr strange
name of Roger Ventiman occurs m 1688.
It must have been some very small parish,
the marriages scarcely averaging half a do-
zen in a year.

[Aug-
it.wM ezpcctetl that he would be declared
iine of the tuccetiful oandidatet ; but,
to the amaiement of all hit friendi, hit
name wat patted over, and three other
gaittlemun elected. Tbit circumttance
aroie from the Jamblinf; waj in which
the membert of the board giTe their
votei«all at once, or timul ac temel, at
they term It. It were tediout to explain
Che procett ; but the reader mav form an
opinion of itt abturdity from thit — that
Isad there been no more than two racan-
riei, Fhelan wat entitled, by the judcr-
mrnt of the eleciort, to tbe tecond, but,
at there were three, he wat excluded, ac-
ounliuic to the tame Judgment, from all.
In the fullowlnf year he wat af^ain un-
tue<^tfu1i and thute repeated dlsap-
pulntmentt vialtin|c a conitltution natu-
rally weak and irritable, and now that-
tered by iutnnte application, induced
him to i^lTe over the further purtuitt of
eollf K* honourt, and accept the tituatiun
of temnd matter in the endowed tchool
of Londonderry. Upwardt of two yeart
had pamcd In thit new occupation when
he wat prevailed upt>n, by the advice of
the Archbithop of Dublin (who wat the
Dean of Cork;, to try his chance once
more, and, notwitbstandini; to long a
desuetude of familiarity with the austere
muses of tbe upper end of the hall, be
wateatily tuccessful.. From tbit period
he devoted himself almost exclusively to
the study of 'divinity, for whichj indeed,
the Rolitjiry, ttate of his chambert left
him abundant leisure; for, whatever
may have been the cause,' he was unpo-
pular at a tutor,' and either was ignorant
of the arts, or ditdained to make use of
them, by which^ pupilt were made to
awarm around others, hit inferiort in
every retpect. A pamphlet which he
Sublished, intitled "The Bible, not the
iible Society," operated in tome degree
against bis tuccets. It was praised highly
by the High Church party, but it ex-
cited the pious indignation of anumerout
and influential clatt in society; than
whom there are few nore active at
frientft, and none to bitter and indefati-
gable as foes. No wonder if poor Phelan
imarted under the lath. In 1820 he wat
appointed ' to preach the " Donnellan
Lectures," and bit discourtet were great-
ly admired fur the beauty of the style at
much as for tbe ttrength and closeneot
of tbe argument. But, although his ser-
mons were masterpieces of composition,
he wanted tbe physical requisitet which
go to constitute a great preacher. Hit
'voice, in particular, was bad, and so
weak' as to be almost inaudible in the
gallery even of tbe college chapel. It
was as a controversialist that he shone.
In that field the peculiar puwen of his
mind were brought into action, and tbe
variety of his informatioOt as well at the
acutenest and intrepidity of bit charac-
ter, displayed themselvei. Thit Dr. I>oyle
found to hit cott, when. In 1834, he
launched out the first of his flerce tirades
against the doctrinet and the establish-
ment of the Church, with all that confl-
dence of assertion which goes down with
the multitude for superior knowledge.
Phelan took his weapons from a store-
house into which the good eaty Doctor
little dreamt of any Protestant divine in-
truding ; for, being well versed in the
Irish language, not only as it it tpoken,
but, what it a rare accomplishment even
in thit country, being familiar with itt
written character, he rantacked the ma-
nutcript-rooni of the college library, and
tpeedily convinced the world that he
knew more about the introduction of
Christianity into Ireland, and even about
the renowned St. Patrick, than Dr.Doyle
himself. A pamphlet which he published
linder the signature of '* Declan " (after
an ancient worthy of the Irish church
who flourished before the dominion of
the Pope was recognised in the *' holy
isle,") placed its author at the head of
modern controversialists, and the re-
doubtable J. K. L. attempted to answer
it in vain.
In I8S5, Dr. Phelan withdrew his
name from the college books, and mar-
ried, having previously endeavoured to
obtain a dispensation from the king to
enable him to retain bis fellowship. Mr.
Plunkett undertook to procure that in-
dulgence for h'm, but either he did not
exert himself as was expected, or the
Oxford prejudices of the Home Secretary
were not to be overcome, and Phelan
once more began tbe world with a wife
and a curacy. He met with a munificent
patron, however, in the Primate, who
never tuffers a deserving clergyman to
languish in his diocese, and who takes a
laudable pride in promoting men of
learning and ability. Dr. Phelan was
soon presented to a good living (Killy-
man} by his Grace ; and the college, to
mark their sense of his merit, as well as
to compensate him for the loss of bis fel-
lowship, agreed to bestow upon him the
first benefice at their disposal (Artray)
the choice of which would have fallen to
his turn if he had still remained in col-
lege. Thus, at the time of bis death, he
was in tbe possession of two valuable
preferments.
Since Dr. Phelan's examination by the
committee of the House of Lords, in
18S5, his name has been but little before
tbe public. His time has been cbieHy
engrossed by the pastoral care of his ex-
tensive parifhcsj and in the cultivation

ciU—S6th April, 1830."
Mr. Favell was conducted into the
Council Chamber t^ Mr. Alderman Wood
and Mr. Alderman Waithroan. The Lord
Mayor oflPered the present with a com-
plimentaiy speech, highly eulogiiing
Mr. Favell as the advocate of freedom ;
the asserter of the rights of toleration ;
and the promoter of education, and re-
form in the penal code ; and Mr. Favell
made a long and eloquent reply.
On the Sunday on which he .died, Mr.
Favell had three times attended public
worship at Camden Chapel. He supped
and talked cheerfully wiih his family ;
went to bed at half-past nine, and before
ten was instantaneously summoned into
eternity, by a stroke of apoplexy.

•^Kfy 14. At the bouse of his son,
near Evreux, of apoplexy, aged 64, Pink-
«Uu James, M.D. of George-street, Hano-
▼er^wioare.
He ent^d active Ufa at a Midship-
man in theHbyal Navy, about the same
time ^\ih his present Majesty. The first
engagement tbMt he mmw was likewise
/^ Jf/vi w which Kiot William IV.
stood the fire of the enemy,— that in
which Langara, the Spanish Admiral,
was defeated and taken. He was then
in the Invincible, but soon after quitted
that ship, and served for some years in
the Pegasus frigate, commanded by Cap-
tain Stanhope. In this vessel he saw a
great deal of service in the West Indies,
and had twice tlie yellow fever. It is
somewhat singular also, that the present
King afterwards sailed in the same ship.
On bis return from the West Indies be
quitted tbe navy, and studied medicine
at the college of Edinburgh, where he
took his degree. He then passed tbe
College of London, and has ever since
practised in the metropolis. During the
regency of his late Majesty, lie was ap-
pointed one of his Physicians extraordi-
nary, and shortly after was elected Phy-
sician to the parish of St. George, Hano-
ver-square.

ttn» etq. written about tlie time of the

pondent*s letter.— -Edit.
« The state of Melferd Chsreh and oar
LMlio's Chappti at the East end, at I did
know it.
« Memorand, — At the back of the High
Akar, in (he taid Church, there was a good-
\j mouoty nude of one great tree, and set
up to the foot of the window there, oanred
very artificiallj with The Story rf Chrisi*t
Passwrif repretentiug the horsemen with
their twordi, and the footmen, &c. at they
used Christ on the Meant of Celfary, all
hebg &ir gih, and IhreW and beaatiftilly tet
forth. To cover and keep oleaii all the
whichf there were very fair and painted
boards, aaade to thut to, which were opened
upon high and solemn Feaat Days, which
then was a very beaatiful shew{ which
pabted boards were set np again in Queen
Mary's time. At the north end of the same
altar, there was a goodiv tilt tabemaele,
reaching np to the roof or the ChanodI, hi
the which there was one &ir large gilt
iiMge of The Holy TrinUyf being patron of
the Church, besides other fiur imsgee. The
like tabemscle was at the south end.
*< There was also in my lie, called Jesus
lb, at the back of the Altar, a table with a
crucifix on it, with the two thieves hanging,
on every side one, which is in my houie de-
cayed, and the same I hope my heiret will
repaire and restore again, one day. Tliere
was also two fair gilt tabernacles, firom the
ground up to the roofe, with a fiiir Image qf
Jesuit in the tabernacle, at the north end of
the altar, holding a round bawie in bb hand,
sianifying, I think, that he oontaineth the
whole round world % and, in the tabemaele,
at the south end, there was a fair image of
oar Blessed Lady having the afflicted body
of her dear Son, as he was taken down, off
the cross, lying along in her laop, the tears,
as it were, running down pittinilly upon her
beautiful cheeks, as it seemed, bedewing the
said sweet body of her son, and therefore
named The Image rf our Lady of Pity.
** Afemorand.— There was a fitir Rood Loft,
with the Rood, Mary and John, of every
side, and with a fair pair of organs standing
thereby ; which loft extended all the breadth
of the Church, and on Good Friday, a
Priest, then standing by the Rood, sang the
Patsion» The side thereof, towards the oody
of the church, in twelve partitions in boards,
wu fiur painted with the images of the
ijpvJra Aj)ostles.
'^ All the roof of the Church was beauti-
^ with fkir gi/i etars. Finally, io the vcs-
> where there were muij rich copes and'
saites of vastowBtSy thaie was a nur ftbmm,
with frir laiga doors to shut to, whersin
there were made devises to hasff on all the
copes, without fblding or fhunphng of them,
with a oonvaniaat disianca, the one firom the
other.
*' In the Quire was a fiur planted firama of
timber, to be set up about Manndav Thurs-
day, with holes for a aomber of fiur tapers
to stand in before the sepulchre, and to be
lighted in servioa time. Sometimes it was
set overthwart the Quire before the Altar,
the sepulchre being sJwaiee placed, aad finely
gareisliad, at the north and of the High
Altar I between that aad Mr. Cloptou's lit*
tie ehappal there, in a vacant place of the
wall, I think upon a tomb of one of his
ancestors, the said firaase with the tapers
was set nasr the steps gomg up to the said
Altar. Lastly, it was lued to be set up, all
along by Mr. Gopton's lie, with a door,
made to go out of the rood luft bto it.
*• Upon Palm Sunday the Blessed Sacra-
asaat was osrryed in procession about the
ehurefayard, uader a nir canopy, borne by
four yeomen; the procession coming to the
church gate, went westward, and they with
the Blessed Saersmant went eastward ; and
when the proaession cama againat the door
of Mr. Goptea's lie, they with the Blessed
Saerament, aad with a little bell and singing,
approaahad at the eaK end of our Ladie s
Chappell, at wbioli tin&e a boy with a thing
in his hand pointed to it, sicni^ing a pro-
phet» as I think, sang, standing on the tyr-
rst» that is, on the said Mr. Clapton's ile
doore, Ecee Rex futir, vent/, ilfe, ; and then
all did kneel down, and then, rising up,
waul aad mat the saorameat, and so then,
want siagiag together, iato the church, aad
cootina near the porch, a boy, or one of
the cUrka, did oast over among the boys
flowers, and slngiag oakes, &o.
*• On Corpus Christ! day, they went like-
wise with the Blessed Saerament in proces-
sion about the eburoh green in copes, and I
think alsop they went in prooession, on St.
Mark's day, about the said green, with
haadbells ringing before them, as they did
about the bounds of the town, in Roeitlon
week, on the Monday one way, on the Tues-
day another way, and on the Wednesday
another, praying for rain or fiur weather,
as the time re<|uired, haviag a drinking and
a dinner there, upon Munday, being fiut
day ; and Teusday, being a fish day, they
had a breakfast with butter and cheese, Sec.
at the Parsonage, aad a drinking at Mr.
Gopton's by Kentwell, at his manor of Lu-
tons, near the pond in the Park, where
there was a Uttle chappel, I think of St.
Anne, fi»r that was their longest perambula-
cion. Upon Wedneeday, being usting day,
they had a drinking at Melford Hall. All the
Quire dined there, Uiree times in the year at
least, viz. St. Stephen's Day, Midleat Sun-
day, aad 1 ^VuVl u^qu EaaXcf Monday.

CLASSICAL LITERATURE.
Bp. Movk*8 Life of Dr. Bentlby.
{Continuedfrxm p, 184.)
Wiih a Pariraii of Dr. Bentley.
BEING diicontented with the reve-
nues of hit tituatioDf as derived
from the tithes of some rectories, the
new Professor resolved to take the ^reat
tithes tn kind, and to let the small tithes
to his bailiff. His tithe wheat and
barley were conveyed by barges to two
out-houses converted into granaries at
the back of the lodge; and, in the
course of the next two years, the greater
part of the articles were sold to the
College for the bakehouse and brewery.
And as the highest prices were paid for
them, though more or less damaged, it
occasioned an outcry against the Pro-
fessor, not only on the score of rapa-
city, but of meanness, in exercising the
trades of farmer and maltster. These,
and other more disgraceful, though
unproved charges, were very deroga^
tory to his reputation, as subjecting
him to imputations alike disgraceful to
one in his dignified station.
In 1717 George I. yisited the Uni-
Tcrsity, when several new Doctors
were to be created by Royal mandate.
From each of these the Professor de-
manded a fee of four guineas, in addi-
tion to a^broad piece, the regular compli-
ment on creation. The greater part pro-
tested against this demand, as unreason-
able. After much altercation, Bentley
refused to create any one who would not
acquiesce in his requisition. Conyers
Middleton was among the number of
those who refused payment. But he
and some others at length agreed to
^y the fee, taking a promise from
Bentley that be would return it, if his
claim thereto was proved to be uo*
founded. The rest Bentley createc^
Toured to have his claim confirmed by
the interference of the Court ; but the
Minister of State declined to inter-
meddle in a matter of so invidious and
personal a nature. At this rebuff Bent-
ley was so chagrined, that he laid aside
the THrd part of his remarks on Free-
ihiaking, which be had then even com-
menced printing. Meanwhile Dr. Mid-
dleton, nearing no tidings of his four
guineas, applied to the Professor for it to
be refunded. But no regard being paid
to his applications, he sued forthesum as
a debt, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court.
The Vice-Chancellor held many con-
ferences with the Professor, assuring
him that if the matter were 10 come
into his Court, he must decide it a-
gainst him. Bentley, however, pertina-
ciously persisted in carrying on a contest
from which neither credit nor advan*
tage could ensue, and in which he
would receive no countenance from his
brother Heads, with whom, indeed, be
was unpopular. At length the Vice-
Chancellor issued a writ for arresting
the Professor, which was served by
one of the Esquire bedell% who being
ill-treated and kept in durance by be-
ing locked up in an empty room for
several hours, the Vice-Chancellor and
Heads resolved to resent this insult to
the University in the person of its of-
ficer. And upon Bentley*s refusing to
ask pardon for his contempt of Courts
the Vice-Chancellor proceeded to pub-
licly and solemnly declare '* Ricnard
Bentley suspended ab omni gradu sus'
cepio,** a sentence confirmed by a ^reat
majority of the senate. Nay, the Vice-
Chancellor proceeded to prohibit him
from acting as Professor, and even
threatened to declare the Professorship
vacant; but did not dare to execute
his threat. Upon this our undoctored
Professor petitioned the King against
the University; and the Vice-Chan-
cellor laid a representation of the pro-
ceedings before the King in council.
A number of pamphlets, all anony-
mous, were now put forth for and
against Bentley, which caused a sen-
sation in the public mind almost un-
precedented. This literary contest took
place at the end of 17 18 and the be-
S'nnlng of 1719* and the feud among
e Heads descended to the juniors and
even under-graduates of the Univer-
sity. And now the Fellows of Trinity
renewed their exertions to procure a
hearing for their petition, which was
read in council and favourably receiv-
ed. Whereupon Bentley, with great
dexterity, contrived to bring about a

. Our Critic oow lent forth his elabo«
Tate Dissertation on the Metres of Te«

writer, and also one of Pbsedras ; on
which Dr. Monk has some jodiciom
remarks, in illustration of the orkin and
progreu of the controversy of &ntley
witn Bp» Hare on the metres of Te-
rence. With an ardour seldom found
even in the voung, our veteran Critic
now applied himself to an Edition of
Lncau's Pharsalia. His Notes, how-
ever, from the proposed Edition clash-
ing with two other rival ones then pre-
paring bv Cortlns and Oudendorp, did
Sot see the lisht till fourteen years afler
it death, when they were printed at
the Strawberry Hill Press.
Our illustrious Aristarchos so retain-
ed the vis vivida animi, that he now, at
6ft, proposed to give new editions of
Manilius and Homer (the former of
which was some yean after published)
and had not yet abandoned his design
%o edit the Greek Testament As to
the afiaira of Trinity College, all the
Master*! wiihea and projects were now
tarried without obstruction; though
tome of them were objectionable, and
•avoured of oppression and selfishness :
insomuch that in 17S7 fresh attempts
were made to procure a visitation of
Trinity College, and the Bp. of Ely
was prevailed on to undertake the visi«
lation, if it should be found that he
had the pro|>er jurisdiction. In 17S0
George II. visited the University, and
wai entertained by Dr. Bentley at Tri-
nity Lodge. In consequence of hit
faugue on this occasion, the Doctor
was attacked with a dangerous illness;
but medical skill, or the goodness of
his constitution, soon recovered him.
Meanwhile the scheme for ejecting the
Master was still carried forward. But
BentlejT anticipated bis prosecutors by
a Petition to nis Majesty. The prose-
cutors drew up counter petitions, and
the Bishop sent one to have the rights
of his See examined, and cited Bent-
ley to appear before him. The Mas-
ter applied to the King's Bench for
a prohibition. And now (in 1730)
Bentley had an oflFer of the Deanery of
Lincoln, which he refused, as thmk-
ing it not an equivalent for the sacri-
fice of his Academical emoluments.
Jn the year 1731 the Court pronounced
tAat the Bishop of Ely was general
Visitor of tho CoUegt, and that the
Maater was thrown upon his retoureet
to avert so imminent a danger. He
sent a petition to the KinK, and brought
his cause before the Privy Council.
While awaitins for its determination,
he engaged in the only unsuccessful of
all his literary undertakings, his Edition
of Milton's Paradise Lost. He was in-
deed in many respects unqualified for
the work, which proved a total failure,
and did more lo sink his reputation than
any of his prcccdioff woras had done
to raise it. Still, as Dr. Monk truly ob-
serves, " the work contains many just
and aeosible remarks, and many acute
pieces of criticism; and we cannot but
often admit the justness of his strictures,
and even the Fxiet himself might have
proBted by many of the hint*.*' In
1733 the case between Dr. Bentley
and the Bp. of Ely was carried before
the House of Lords, which reversed
the judgment of the Court of Kine's
Bench, and, aftar a subsequent conside-
ration of the case in another Session,
the Bishop received his Writ of per-
mission to act aa Judge in the affairs
of Triniw CJollege, aiKl hekl his first
Court at Ely House, in June 1733. Dr.
Bentley was then cited to appear in per-
son, but be only attended by Proc-
tor. In ten days after, the Master sent
in hit Defensive Plea, in which the
charges were ingeniously evaded, and
the transactions placed in quite ano-
ther light, thottgn the defence is cer-
tainly not satisfactory. The evidence
for the prosecution and that for the
defence were each taken at great
length. And now, on the S7th April,
1734, die Court being assembled
to deliver a final judgment upon the
cause, the Biahop formally pronounced
Dr. Bentley guilty of the cnar^ laid
against him, and sentenced him to be
deprived of the Mastership of Trinity
College. Undaunted even at this, Dr.
B. determined to take his stand behind
the last entrenchment, and resist the
execution of the sentence. Findine
that theaenience would not be valid till
Eut in execution by the Vice-Master,
e first prevailed upon the then Vice-
Master to suspend the execution till he
had taken legal advice how to proceed,
and then contrived to induce him to
resign, and procured another to be ap-
pointed who was firmly in the Master's
interest, and utterly refusing to carry the
sentence into execution, set the Bishop

tient bad himself suggested that it

died bv no means wealthy, the most
valuable bequest being that of his Li-
brary and MSS., which came partly
into the hands of Trinilj> College, and
partly into those of the British Museum-
Of his domestic life many interesliDg
anecdotes are collected by our indefati-
gable Biographer, which will be pccuts-
arly interesting to academical readen.
As to the perional eharacttr of Bent-
ley, it was, we must confess, a some*
wKat mixed one. It is humiliating lo
lettered pride, but not unedifying, to
reflect how imperfect an effect hii un-
rivalled learning had in regulating hia
passions, humaniiing his manners, and
raising him above the temptations of
Cride, vanity, and seltishriess. It must,
owever, be admiiLcd, that there is no-
thing in the nature of profoundly leaf ti-
ed and Critical studies peculiarly ad-
verse lu amiableneas of personal cha-
racter ; and that, as in the cases of not
a few illustrious individuals of out
own age and couniiy, profound team-
ing docs not necessarily produce Brra<
gancB, vanity, dogmatism, and (uper-
cilious contempt of others ; but is con-
sistent wiih the highest urbanity and
courtesy, — ihe culiivaiion of all moral
virtues, and the acquirement of alt
Christian graces. That Bentley, how-
ever, possessed many amiable qualilie*
cannot be doubted ; for how else couM
he have attached to himself to many de-
voted friends J He was indeed too (muI

In thearriingQiDeni of the two pulpiu,
ODe being intended for the reading-
tlttk, a tenselest innovation hat been
effected; they are situated at the west
end of the nave, and consequently the
whole of the congregation torn their
backs on the altar. This departure
from established rule most have been
directed by the very spirit of innova-
tion and novelty | there is nothing in
the form of the nave, or in the ar-
nnsement of the building, which
comd at all be urged as a reason for
ihis singular arrangement. There is
no plea of convenience or expediency
to justify the change, which must have
entirely resulted from whim and ca-
Cice. The ancient font is now insu-
ted, and placed in the centre of the
tower. On the north side of the alur
u a mutilated effigy, mitred, and bear-
ing a croiier, which was discovered in
the proi^ress of the repairs. On the op-
posite side is a stone coffin, and near it
•« piscina. The altar screen is inscribed
** DoNUU Jacobi Parkbh, 167s."
Tiie chancel has been but little al-
tered in the reparation. The screens
at the altar, mentioned by Englefield,
retain their places; but the suUs he
noticed have disappeared. The arch of
the west window of the nave, which
was formerly void, has been filled with
mollions and tracery.
The statue of Queen Anne, on the
Bar Gate, which excited the mirth of
Sir H. Englefield, has given way to one
of George III. in Roman costume,
which for any resemblance it bears to
■ the original, may have been intended
for one of the Cssars, and oeconomi-
cally appropriated to the English mo-
narch ; in the same manner as a Lord
Mayor of London is recorded to have
transformed a statue of Sobieski into
onr own Charles the Second. The ab-
surdity of the Roman costume is surely
greater than the stiff stays and gpwn of
the Queen, which gave such onence to
Englefield.
The building called the Castle, has
been entirely destroyed, and on its site
18 a ** Zion, with the date of 1823.
At Mile End, a new and extensive
suburb, is a new Chapel, in the Point-
ed^ style of architecture ; it is built of
brick covered with stucco ; Architect,
Benham. At the west end are two
spires, but there is nothing very striking
in its architecture or decorations.
The Isle of Wight has been so ofien
described by every deieriptioa of tourists,
that none of its various features of inte-
rest, whether antiquarian or picturesque,
can possibly have escaped notice.
Rrading Church is probably the
largest, and u reputed to be Uie most
ancient in the island. In a chapel at
the east end of the south aile, is a mo-
nument of the age of Elizabeth, con-
sisting of an altar tomb, surmounted
with the cross-legged effigy of a Knight
in the plate armour of the time, ex-
tended on a mat, as the statues of this
period generalljr are. Above this effigy,
which IS the size of life, is a smaUer
one similarly armed, which is also dis-
-tingnished by the crossing of the legs.
These monuments seem to negative
the idea once entertained, that figures
in this position were either actual cru-
saders, or persons who had vowed to
participate in the holy wars. As no in-
tention of a crusade could possibly be
entertained at the period of the coii-
•truction of the efiigies under consi-
deration, I am inclined to attribute
the position merely to a veneration for
the form of the cross, which seems
to be the prevalent opinion amongst
antiquaries on this subject.
Portsmouth.
The Church is a large building, con-
sisting of a nave, transept, and chancel.
The former is modern, having been
rebuilt in the Italian style. The tran-
septs and other eastern portions show
the earliest pointed architecture. The
windows are lancet-formed ; the vault-
ing of the simplest description, very
much resembling the older part of the
transept of York Cathedral.
In Fortsea two new Chapels have been
built under the directions of the Com-
missionen for building new Churches.
St. Paul's Chapel is a large structure of
stone, in the Pointed style of architec-
ture, built from the designs of Mr.
Goodwin. It somewhat resembles
Bordesley Chapel, by the same archi-
tect, engraved in vol. xevn. pt. ii. p.
£01, though very inferior in iwint of
correctness to that building. The mul-
lioiM and tracery are iion ; the latter is
fantastic in design, and in its propor-
tions little stonter than a common
window frame.
All Saints' Chapel is built of stone,
in a purer taste ; it consists of a nave
and aisles, and the architecture is in
the best style of the fourteenth century.

writer than those of the elder and the
younger Gustavus. For, if it may
strike some that Charles the Twelfth,
another of the Swedish dynasty, ex-
ceeded them both in dazzling exploits,
yet the character of the former was by
no means so entirely adapted to the
purposes of heroic analysis.
The personal heroism of Charles
transcended even the creatures of ro-
mance; and, while it rivalled the fabled
heroes who fought at Troy, threw
into the shade the chronicled achieve-
ments of those boasts of ancient story,
Alexander and Caesar, and forms a
central point for admiration to all
posterity; — but the actions, and the
life of Charles, however it might have
furnished subjects for epic writing, are
less adapted for the purposes of tragedy.
Charles, notwithstanding his career
of victory and of glory, was, as all
know, the destroyer of his country
rather than its preserver ; while Gus-
tavus Vasa may emphatically be termed
its Saviour : and the second Gustavus,
by the noble stand which he made in
favour of liberty, against several united
powers of Europe, may as emphatically
be designated the great champion of the
rights of mankind, and of the Pro-
testant cause.
The catastrophe of Charles at Pul-
towa, may be termed one of those
freaks of fortune which might have
been expected by a monarcn whose
desperate valour placed all his honours
#a the cast of a die $— but the wisdom
and foresight of the others covered a
brave nation with unprecedented glories,
no less by the arts of peace, than the
terror of their arms. " The habits
of Gustavus Adolphus," says an elegant
historian, '* were of the most simple
kind; he shared in all the bodily fa-
tigues of his soldiers ; though the nold-
ntss of his enter prizes astonished the
world, he was personally mild, bene-
ficent, susceptible of lo\'e and friend-
ship, eloquent, popular, and full of re«
liance on Providence; the principal
traits of his character were magnani-
mity and gentleness."
We read, likewise, of the elder Gus-
tavus (whose character is briefly traced
by the same writer) — as "a leader who
possessed the power of imparting to
the people his heroic spirit, — one whose
views were so just as to lead him to
undertake no more than what was ca-
pable of being carried into execution.*'
It has often been remarked bycritics*
that it is essential to a fine tragedy that
its subject be correspondently in unison
with the effect designed to be produced
in the mind of the reader. If it be
not necessary that, as in epic poetry,
the action should be great, still it
should always superinduce noble and
magnanimous sentiments in its promi-
nent characters ; or it is impossible to
sustain that degree of interest in its
various parts, without which not all the
genius of the artist can raise it to that
standard of justness, beauty, and ex-
pression, which ought properly to at-
uch to it«
In the <' Robbers" of Schiller, it is
the greatness of soul which we occa-
sionally find embodied in Charles's
character, which solely sustains the in-
terest of the piece. The brutal and
desperate valour of his associate out-
laws, and their cold-blooded and reck-
less cruelly, are calculated only to excite
aversion and disgust;— but the some-
what mistified sublimity of character
which drives a young man, through an
overwhelming sense of injustice and
wrong, to become a robber and an as-
sassin, redeems its atrocities, and throws
over the drama a proper character of
elevation.
And here, if it has been pertinently
remarked by an elegant critic in these
matters, that *' firie writing depends as
much on a happiness in the arrange-
ment, as in the choice of oar ideas,"
so^ the soccess of a tragedy depends es-

It will hardly oe said by any one
who bestows even a momentary atten-
tion on the state of intellectual attain*
ments among us, that the talent for
dramatic writing keeps pace with the
other branches of literature, or indeed
that its display amounts even to pofi«
tive respectability. May we not, there-
fore, still anticipate the speedy restora-
tion of a drama of high out neglected
merits. Glowine with the charms of
novelty, and brightening in those linea-
ments of originality, and vigour of
thought, which must in every age give
{pleasure, it seems formed to become a
avourite.
The purification of the drama has,
at many seras of our literature, been
talked of as a national desideratum.
Surely, by reviving on our stage those
Sieces which alike combine, in a high
egree, moral beautv and classical taste,
and which by jointly actine with those
which are already standard favourites,
may tend to raise the moral character
of our drama, national good in more
than a literary view is accomplished.
There are pieces from the hand of
eminent masters, which abundantly
redeem it from the complaint so often
and so loudly alledged, and not alto-
gether without reason, that the English
ktaee is a school for the encouragement
of nceutiousness and profligacy. Ben
Jonson is well known, in his " £x-
plorata," to have said, in reply to those
of his contemporaries who used to boast
that Shakspeare never blotted a line of
all he wrote, " Would that he had
blotted a thousand \"
With e(^ua], and indeed with far
greater justice, may it be said of multi-
tudes of his successors, down to the
present time ; the pernicions tendency
of whose pieces, or the exceptional
Shraseology of whose dialogue, has
one much in bringing dramatic exhi-
bitions into disrepute amonff many of
our countrymen, who are neither soured
^ puritanism, or destitute of taste —
that much might with convenience
have been spared. The revival of old
standards of real worth and excellence,
which breathe a high tone of disinte-
rested virtue and patriotism, or of ge-
nerous sentiments, is, we contend, a
national acquisition.

ofyour correspondent H. in yOar last No-

It is indeed true that a great *' moral
revolution** has taken place (nbi supra)
in periodical writing; whether, indeed,
we refer to its style of treatment, either
of melanges or metaphytict. For the
first, melanges, witness the sort of im-
pressions which hover round the mind
as we rise, at any time, from the pe«
rusal of some frothy piece of inanity
which often fills a wide gap in the
pages of your monthly brethren, — the
worthlessness of which is ill compen-
sated by the butterfly gilding wtiich
adorns it. And to be persuaded that a
*' moral revolution** lias taken place
in the method of discussing metaphy-
sical questions, it is only necessary to
refer to the article in a late Edinburgh
Review, on M. Cousin's '• Course of
Philosophy." The predicaments and
relations, within the ample science of
Ontology, are rarious and indefinite ;
but if anv of your readers perceive the

they do more than the present writer.

enough, against others of equal taste
and discernment perchance, but whose
commodities of literature exhibit less
of pungent acrimony,— >are proofs of
the dauntless and frontless confidence

SOD, Studied the Celtic, in order to
judge of the poems as taken from tra-
dition. He translated them into Ita-
lian, and in his dissertation he says,
" To me, as a citizen of the world, it
matters not whether Ossian was horn
in the bogs of Ireland, or mountains of
Scotland; but no one will deny that he
was the Son of the Muses.*' In imi-
tation of Alexander, Buonaparte, a still
more eminent destroyer of the human
race, had always a copy of the Abba's
translation under his pillow. Our his-
torian says, that the Abba's version has
" softened their defects.*' If this sena-
tor and scholar had understood the
language from which it is proved that
Greek and Latin are in a great mea-
sure derived, he would see that much
of the spirit of the original has evapo-
rated through these translations. The
• great Lexicographer, who insunced in
himself the greatest strength and weak-
ness of the numan mind, entertained
an erroneous opinion that the Celtic
language was not sufficiently copious
andf expressive to sustain a regular
poem, or any production of weight and
vigour. Had he studied it, he would
have found it to abound in strength,
▼ariety, and expression. The Persian
alphabet onlv is calculated to ernress
the Celtic syllables, not practicable by
any combinations of our letters. In
the Celtic narratives there are frequent-
ly passages similar in enero^ and pathos
to Doctor Johnson's sublime apostro-
phising language, on landing on the
island of lona, the cemetery of the
Kings of Scotland. " We were now
treading that illustrious island, which
was once the luminary of the Caledo-
nian regions; whence savage clans
and roving barbarians derived the be-
nefits of knowledge, and the blessings
• of religion. To abstract the mind from
all local emotion, would be impos-
sible if it were endeavoured, and
would be foolish if it were possible.
Whatever withdraws us from the
power of our senses, whatever makes
the past, the distant, or the future, pre-
dommate over the present, advances us
in the dignity of thinking beings. Far
from me, and from my friends, be such
frigid philosophy as may conduct us,
indifierent or unmoved, over any
ground which has been dignified by
wisdom, bravery, or virtue. That man
• is little to be envied, whose patriotism
would not gain force upon the plain of
Marathon, or v^hose piety would not
f;row warmer among the ruins of
ona."
Within the whole compass of the
English language, there is not a finer
passage than this striking similitude to
the style of Ossian, the son of Fingal.
Yours, &c. John Macdohald.

THE rural scenery and natural beau-
ties of the valley of Box, certainly
deserve the notice of the lovers of the
picturesque; and is, by Celtic, Roman,
and Monastic remains, entitled to claim
the attention of the AntiouarY. It will
be the chief intention ot this hastily
written communication, to notice its
Celtic remains.
There overlooks the valley of Box a
brow of an extensive plain, called
Kingsdown-hill, from the summit of
which the eye is carried to an im-
mense distance, both eastward and
westward. The brow is in shape like
onesideofan immense artificial mound,
and in appearance is not unlike a ver-
tical section of a cone, or it may be de-
scrilied indeed as being somewhat si-
milar to the human nose, projecting
from the lofty plain above, and sloping
gradually downwards to its base.
This elevated spot is about five miles
from Bath (Aoua Solis or Sulis), and
is nearly in a direct line between this
city and Abury; not indeed within
sight of Bath, but directly in view of
that lofty conical mound-like eminence
risine above this city on the eastward,
which is still so singularly called
" Little Salisbury* or Sulisbury," and
which probably bore formerly the same
religious relation to the Temple of Sol
(Apollo) at Bath, as the lofty eminence
of Old Salisbury did to the venerable
temple of Stonehenge in the plain be-
low.
Caesar says of our ancestors, *' Deum
roaximi Mercnrinm colunt, hujus sunt
plorima simulacra,'* and I cannot but
think, on this brow of Kingsdown-hill
formerly must have stood one of the
" plurima simulacra" of Caesar, point-
ing with his caduceus towards the
" stupendous and mysterious temple of
Abury," not merely serving for •• a
guide over the hills and trackways,*' to
those travelling from a distance to wor-
ship at this great temple, but that it

he was dignified. He was active, zealous,
persevering, benevolent; and by his bceasaot
exertions, a powerful friend. Adorned with
Attic wit, various in accomplishmeots, he is
deeply deplored. He died in 1816, in the
7<d year of his age, and is buried in this
chancel, near to his fiarents.
Another remarkable monument in
the same Church, is to a cousin of the
late and present Earl of Liverpool.
In ibrm it represents a sarcophagus,
placed under an ancient flat arch, in
the south wall of the south chancel.
<( Near this place lie the remains of Lieut.-
Colonel George Jeukinson, C. B. third son
of John Jenkinson, Esq. brother of Charles
first Earl of Liverpool { bom 94th Feb.
1789, died SI March, 182.3. Early in life
he entered into the Ro^ral Artillery, and was
immediately employed ou active service in
Hdknd. He served five years in Snain
under the Duke of Wellington, at whose
recommendation he was promoted to the
rank of Lieut.- Colonel. Brave, open, and
generous, he gained the love of his friends,
and the esteem uf the army. Amidst the
temptations and vicissitudes of the military
proraision, he maintained a steady and oni-
Turm course of Christian conduct, and during
a loD^ and painful illneM, which terminated
At0 iiifip, he derived /rom teligion that sup-
/wr/ mm/ comfort which reUgloix alooc can
impart, and aoet the awM wwmnuma iridi
resignation to the will oC QoA^ and hnasblo
confidence in hb Beri^v through Um nserifei
of the Redeemer, lliie tablet is erected
to his memorv by his surviving brothers, m
a testimony of tfayeir affectbn and esteem."
This Lieut. -Colonel Jenkinaon is
itated in Debrett's Peerage to have
been mortally wounded at Talavera in
I8O9. That appears to have been the
fate of his younger brother Robert-
Henry, in Egypt, 1801. His '* sur*-
Tiving brothers'* are Charles Jenkin-
aon, Esq. formerly M. P. for Dover,
and the present Bishop of St. David's,
the latter of whom is probably the au-
thor of the foregoing epitaph. The
former (according to Debrett) is un-
married ; the Bisnop married a cousin
of Sir Samuel-John-Brooke Pechell,
Bart, and has issue, on which, should
the present Earl of Liverpool leave no
son, the ancient Baronetcy belonging
to the Jenkinson family will devolve.
1 will add a few other modern epi-
taphs, put up since the publications of
Bray and Lysons.
In the Bishop's Chapel is the follow-
ing memorial to a late worthy incum-
bent, of whom you gave a character in
Tol. LXxxvi. ii. p. 184 :
" Sacred to the memory of the late
Oeorgi Savage, M.A. many years Vicar of
this parish cum Richmond, and Rector of
the united parishes of St. Mary Aldermary
and St. Thomas the Apostle, in the City of
London. He was bom 99th of July, 1 760,
and died on the fi7th of the same month,
in the year 1816. By the suavity of his
manners, the serenity of his temper, and the
natural candour of his disposition, he nined
the love and esteem of bis numerous fiends
and connexions; and by his benevolence
and kind attentions to their temporal and
spiritual wants, the affection and high regard
a bis parishioners. He was deeply learned,
but modest and unassuming ; genuinely
pious, condescendini^, and unaffected; sin-
cerely desirous faithfully to discharge his
pastoral duties { but totally free from all li^
temperate xeal.
<* In testimony of her unfeigned attach-

the much -to- be- lamented loss which she lus

Mr. llBBAM,
AT a period when
Sepl. 6.
ibc education of
lellectual improvement of society ge-
nerally, engage the allcnlion of the
most eminent men of ihe age, and at a
teriod when ignorance in those who
ave had the advantages of a liberal
education is justly iligmatised and re-
proached ^ it does appear to me to be
a circumstance most singular and ex-
traordinary, that the (brmt and expres-
sions of our own (the English} lan-
guage, should not meet wilh greater
aileolion, and llieir cotrectiiets and
proprieiy be more fully estimated, than
they are at the preaciil time. U \»

fmw and coastraction of words, is
most glaringly exhibited. It can bat
arise from one of two causes* via. care-
lessness or indifierence, or an absurd
ambition of being thought eccentric.
Which of these two motives more ge-
nerally prevails, I will leave to your
astuteness, Mr. Urban, to decide. But
of this I am quite certain, that if it is
the latter, we are all by nature suffi-
ciently ^i^ed with that enviable cha-
racteristic to require any foreign or ar-
tificial aid. To those who profess to
tet little value on an intimate acquaint-
ance with their mother tongue, and
who view it as unimportant compared
with aihorough knowledge of the Ro-
man, Greek, and modern languages,
may be ceded the credit, if any, of con-
forming to a very general opinion ; but
it cannot be denied that they are la-
mentably deficient in those valuable
ingredients in the human character,
cwmmon tenter and a sound judgment
lite just thinker and risht obser^'er,
however, will always be itelingly alive
to the importance of the mother
tongue, and will not be led away by
the prevalence of ridiculous fashion,
or be influenced by a foolish affecta-
tion of thinking differently from other
gK)ple. To purify and improve ihe
nglish language ought to be the ob-
ject of every true patriot; and it surely
cannot be said that such an object is
iinworihy the notice and pursuit of
ihe man who can conscientiously and
deservedly bear so honourable a dis-
tinction. The gross and barbarous
modes of pronunciation, and glaring
vulgarisms, which mark the con-
versation of those to whom the terms
ignorant and uneducated would not
be strictly applicable, should be care-
fully guarded against, and I know of
no oetier means of eflfecting that end,
than by pointing out upon paper, to
those who are in the habit of using
them, a few of the most common and
obvious errors and inaccuracies of
speech by which our ears are so fre-
quently assailed.
Thus we continually hear of the
largeMi half, as if a half could consist
of any thing more or less than an equal
moiety of a whole. Bor/h for *• both,*'
kiiile for "kettle," frii for "get,"
Rume for "Rome," Jemes for "James,"
reasons for " raisons ;" these three last
errors and others of a similar kind are
ofientr the result of a fleets t ion than
%oonnee. Si'/ for " sit, " oiilegisif^ for
"Migiog/' £dard for ••Edward."
To ^ away, or letve fm gMd , is a fa«
vourite expression when leaving a
place altogether, or giving np anj
thing entirely, or for ever» \s intendeu.
The best pari is not aDcommooly sub-
stituted for the "greater** or the" larg-
est part," as if the former necesaariiy
included the latter. Gravarmen for
"gravamen;** by the way, this latter
word, which ts synonymous with-
" gut,** is not to be foaitd in any of
the editions of Johnson's Dictionary.*
The Church on Snow-hill, called St.
Sepulchre's, and the ac^ective mis-
chievous, we hear pronounced long
instead of short. Ptni for " point,"
sperils for " spirits." j«/ for "just,"
and toe teas for "we were," are of-
fences against the King's English com-
mitted dailv.
These, Sir, are a few of the ble-
mishes in conversation, which the most
casual observer of men and things can-
not fait to have noticed, and in my
humble opinion they cannot be too
strongly and too frequently deprecated.
Yours, &c. G. W.

YOUR valuable Magazine having
for many years served to record
notices of such local antiquities as may
contribute towards the topographical
history of any 'particular County, I
make no apology for troubling you (at
the desire of a friend^ with the follow-
ing memoranda relative to Sussex.
In the month of September 18 J Q,
whilst the workmen were employed
-in digging out the soil of a field called
Palace Field, in this city, for the pur-
pose of forming a basin for the Canal,
a considerable number of remains of
Roman pottery, of various forms and
sizes, together with some hand-mills,
apparently used for grinding corn, a
^lass vessel of a square shape, inclosed
in lead, and containing ashes, and a
variety of other curiosities of a similar
nature, were brought to light. But the
most remarkable discovery was made
by one of the workmen striking his
snade against a coarse earthen urn,
aoout two feet from the surface, which
was broken by the collision, and proved
to contain above 7OO silver Roman im-
perial coins, in the finest state of pre-

IT is very curious to remark, that wc
have no distinct data of the precise
period at which any Law Treatise was
written. If we may credit the san-
guine testimony a( some old chronolo-

After the Conquest, Henry II. com-
piled a treatise * on the Common Law
and ** Statutes " of England, divided
into two lomes, and entitled, 1. '* Pro
Republic^ Leges ;" 2. •• Statuta Rega-
lia.^ The next works that we have
are in the reign of Henry III. 1.
Bracton's Tractate. S. Gianville de
Legibus. And we have a few other
Treatises before the Year Books, which
commence in the reign of Edw. HI.,
some of which, though broken, yet of
the best kind, are in the library of
Lincoln's-inn.
The 6rst Law Book was Littleton's
Tenures,t probably published by the
learned Juage himself, at the press of
J. Letton and W. Machlinia, anno
148 1,{ resno Edw. IV. This edition
has no title, numerals, or catch-words.
The type is barbarous and broken ; and
the text is crowded with abbreviations.
Of ihis edition there are supposed to be
Jfve copies; 1. in the Public Library
at Cambridge ; 9. in the Library of the
Inner Temple; 3. in Earl Spencer's
Library ; 4. in the possession of Mr.
Johnes; 5. in the Library of the Right
Honourable Thomas Grenville. There
is a fine copy in the King's Library at
the British Museum, and which was
undoubtedly printed at London by Let-
ton and Machlinia, as will be seen
upon a reference to a note subscribed
at the end.
The next edition was probably that
of Machlinia, who was then living
at Fleet Bridge, according to a note
at the end. The letter in this edition
is less rude, and more like the modern
English blackletter than the letter used
in the former edition. The different
chapters or sections commence with a
blank space for the illumination of the
capital letters, which is printed in a

The editions by Pyntoo are five in
number, 1st. folio, 15 16; Sd. daod€>-
cimo, 15S5; 3d. sextodecimo ; 4th and
and 6th, folio, and without dates.
Sir Edward Coke,* Dugdale,t and
Bishop Nicolson, % conjecture that
the first edition was "at Rouen in
Normandy, by William de Taillier, ad
instantiam Richardi Pinson, the printer
of Henry VIH. ;'* and that it was first
printed about the S4tb year of Henry
VH I. anno 1633. But the fact of the
former edition being printed bjf Letton
and Machlinia, who were printers in
the reign of Edw. IV. fully shows the
precedence, in point of time, to be due
to their joint impression.
It is important to remark that there
are at the Public Library two ancient
manuscripts § of the Tenures extant in
the University of Cambridge. The
first is imperfect at the beginning, and
in the chapter on warranty. It is writ-
ten on vellum. The second is on paper,
and only the second leaf is torn. This
MS. has the following passage i — IsU

this interesting subject. Such inqui-
ries are always productive of advantage

ther in Butler, nor in the writings of any
otlier Poet, could I ever find the couplet ;
and I suspect it has been popularly rhymed
from a prose passage in Bishop Jeremy Tay-
lor's Great Esempiar, edition 1649, p. 103 :

The Anglo-Saxon King Eilgar is as
notorious in history as Jupilet in uiy-
ihology, for deluding pretty girls ; and
we make no doubt bui thai he came
to the nunnery al Wilion, if not for
plunder of ihii kind, at least for an
ocular treat, probably for both. Upon
Ihe King'* visit, }rUrud {Wulftida),
ibe orphan daughter of a knight, was

(for nuns were shorn) could noldeceive
the amorous Monarch, who had ito

claiming, " How soon jou have been

maiden stubbornly resisting. Malmei-
bury will then have it, that allhougfl
she was " cubili regio subaeia, pariu

for his oulrage; and imetcourie was

this history. Such i high station she
ap|>ears to have well deserved, accord-

the exception of a natural feeling of
her high birih, and a feminine vanity
of wearing fine cloihei. When Saitil

judged of men by their consciencet^
or, as our author says, by their actions,
not their clothes, and being somewhat
of a blue, she quoted Augustine, in
proof of pride lurking under mournful
filth, "insordibus luctuosis." "Where-
fore 1 think (she proudly and royally
added, with a pertness unusual in re-
gard to a Bishop,) that a mind may be
as uncorrupted under these golden rai-
ments, as under your tattered pilches,***
For so we translate sub discissis pelli-
hus. Our author says, (p. 30) that
*' every mon desyred to see her semely
ffikce, so that we may also conclude
lier to have been pretty. Now it is
well known that children brought up
in monasteries with the purpose of
being made monks or nuns, were so
trained as to be fit for no other station.
Her mother WoUrud took care to edu-
cate her accordingly, probably with a
•elfish object, that she might never be
obliged to part with her ; and we are
told that how Edith might have been
Queen of France (p. 31), but would
not, because her mmd had been so
-deeply religionized. After premising
that ne (from the original Saxon heo,
ilia,) is throughout this poem used for
she, we shall now give the successive
details of her history. Every night
after matins, " he chasteyssede hur

This work was menial attendance on
her sister nuns, and even the poor and
beegars, the nuns very prudently con-
sidering that subjection to such offices
tended to abate presumption through
high lineage; and our author stating,
that in so doing she only imitated
" Martha or Mary in herr soyng.
To I'hu, Ooddis sone, Kyag of grace."
She became by this means very popu-
lar; and due advantage was not for-
gotten to be taken of it by sundry
thieves, who solicited her, when con-
demned, to obtain a pardon for them

from her royal father, which she often
did I and our author adds, ^* led them
from the gallowi.'* From hence our
author proceeds to her amusements,
which consisted of taming *'wyld
bestes and folys (fowles) of flyght,**
who would come, stand still, lye down
at her call, and feed out of her hands.
Of these her favourites were doves, be-
cause they represented the Holy Spirit,
though a particular regard was also ex-
tendi to ravens, on account of the
prophet Elias. (sic.) Among her ac-
complishments were harping, singing,
writm^, painting, workmg silk, em-
broidering, inlaymg ^old on it, mak-
ing tunicles, ana chesibles, embroider-
ing mantles (copes) with gold, setting
mitres with gems, and carving and
paintine images ; all which she would
do for the church only, not " fader ny
brother.'* All these works she did,
** FuU sotelyche w*owte ony wothe ;" *
making any clamour of it.
From hence our Chronicler pro-
ceeds to her "v'tuose worchyng.''
This consisted in imposing upon her-
self penance, delightmg to read and
sin^ '''over her boke," fasting much,
eatmg little, never failing to rise at the
nightly service, lying on a hard board,
instead of a bed, " ryght well ydyght,*'
and wearing a hair chemise under royal
clothing of a purple gown embroidered
with gold outside, over the black dress
of the order. All this, however, she
could bear to lose with temper, for her
maid having carelessly blown out a
light, a snuff fell into the wychef
(chest) where the clothes were kept,
but " she set not by that leste a mote,'*
possibly for the following reason. It
so happened that a mantle furred with
^rey, escaped undamaged, and this
event beins magnified into a miracle
which God had done for her, might
have contributed to her equanimity.
Miracles notv began to pour down fast
upon her. A cunning rogue called
Dan Benne, Canon of Treves, and
one of her teachers, told her that there
was in that monastery a "particull of
a nayll " of one of those with which
our Saviour was fastened to the cross.
A particull of this particle, Edith and
Woltrud her mother were anxious to
obtain, and sent Dan Benne over to

Palgnve's Parliamentary ff^riU. FoL, IL
(Continued from p. 188.)
Mr. PALGRAVE observes, in his
Preface,
'* The saveral bandies of proxies coDt»in
onlj one executed hj a temporal peer (part
i. p. 267 1 no. 80,) but that one it of consi-
derable importance from the fiurtt which it
ettablUhet, viz. that a Peer might consider
himself as bound to attend Parliament, al-
though his name does not appear amongst
the persons summoned ; and that he might
appoint individuals not possessing seats in
Parliament, as bis proxies, to appear on his
behalf in that assembly.*'
The Peer to whom this record al-
ludes was John de VVarrene, Earl of
Surrey, and his name does not appear
in the writ of summons. The session
was fixed for Nov. 1 6, but the Earl
dates his letters patent, in which he
appoints his proxies, from **Cha8tellon
en Gale," on Nov. 28. He therefore
was abroad, and could not be present.
The writs of spiritual proxies seem to
show that the permission to appoint
these was only consequent upon ina-
bility to attend ; for that the Peers were
bound to come, is beyond doubt. In
1233 the King summoned all his Earls
and Barons to a Parliament at Oxford,
but they refused ; and he ordered legal
inquiry to be made by what means lie
could compel them to attend, and it
was judicially resolred that they should
be summoned a second and a third
time, ihat proof might be obtained
whether they would come or not (M.
Paris, p. 325, ed. Watts); and it is
certain that all were expected to at-
tend who were not abroad, or lived at
a great distance, or were »ick ; for the
hhtunan /lanicularizes the^e causes of
exception, in a general Parliament of
1248. (p. 6^.) Various instances in
the work before us also show that sum-
monses were not issued, as to persons
who were abroad, but that they sent
proxies instead ; and that they who
were summoned unwillingly to attend
public business were in the habits of
transferring themselves ** minus pro^
ffidi, says a writ, to distant parts."
(See our author, p. 43 or 4) ; and it
further appears, that when the King
was at Berwick in 131 1, he sent orders
to one spiritual lord and four temporal
peers to attend the Parliament, as
charged with an especial message from
himself (Apiicnd. p. 36), one of whom
(John de Grey), not the others, is
omitted in the writ of summons. (Id.
p. 37*) Yet he was a Peer of Parlia-
ment, and had been previously sum-
moned (see the body of the work, pp.
85, 37.) It is accordingly plain that
the writs of summons are very loose
documents, as to the proof whether
Peers attended Parliaments de jure or
de facto i for the omission might merely
imply neglect, or an intimation from
the Crown that their presence was
not desired.
With regard to the EarU (an oflTi-
cial rank in early times), the attend-
ance of them in Parliament seems to
have been more indispensable than
that of the Barons; for Matthew Paris,
speaking of a Parliament held in 1242,
says, that all the Earls were present,
and almost all the Barons, ad manda-
tum regis. — p. 615.
We have read, as every body else
has done, that representation, as to
the Commons' house, grew out of de-
legates deputed to act for the minor
tenants in capite. But it is very fiossi-
ble that the representation of the peo-
ple was far more ancient than sup-
posed, and was connected with the
convocation of the Clergy in a lower
house. In the year 1 187, when Henry
the Second was King, the Commons
was collectively styled populus, and
classed with the lower house of convo-
cation, thus, *' convocato clero regni et
populo." (M. Paris, p. II9.) That
both these bodies must have acted by
representation, is clear ; and that they
were (both bodies) summoned upon
extraordinary emergencies in the time
of Henry III. is also plain, from the
same author, who uses the like phrase
in other instances; as in the Parlia-
ment of Westminster in 1215, "prae^

We are sorry to see that the liberal
•tate of modern society has had such

not worse things, into vogue. In
other respects he seems to have de-
served the hospitality shown to him.
The book contains various pictures
of life in all iu motley forms. VVe
shall extract a passage relative to the
itinerant Jews, because we believe
that the information will be novel.
<«How is it poBslbIa (uud I) that so
mux of your penuasion wftlk about tha
stnets crviqg ' Old clothes !' yet manage to

ona, indeed (said he) ) and theia are many,
I assure you, who are half starving. They
follow this odling because they sre brought
i]|» to no particular trade.'
" I remark a trait in thtm (said I) which
is very prominant; that is, I have never
Been a Jew beggar. *OhI yes, they do
beg sometimes (said he), but never of
Christiana ; and as soon as they can scrape
up a shilling or two» they buy scissars, pen-
eds, &c. &o. and if they can eet twopence
or threepaDoe a day, tfaiey prefer it to beg-
ging.'
*' You have almshouses then (said I) for
your poor and superannuated ? * None,
(said he) ; but those persons who are so old
as to be unable to work, and are without mo-
ney, go to the priests, and state their dis-
tress, which is immediately investigated;
and if they are considered deserving, are sent
oflF to the Rabbi (a high priest), who im-
mediately gives a regular allowance, from ten
to twelve shillings a week, out of a fund sup-
ported by voluntary contributions for this
particular purpose. Mr. Rothschild always
gives an annual donation of five hundred
pounds, and the rest of his family contribute
very handsomely to it.'
** I asked him if his priesU followed any
business. ' Sometimes (he replied), but
they are generally paid very handsomely,
and are not necessitated to do so. The
JUhblnceiveB ooe tbousaod a year, and on
no account enters into any BMieantUe tran-
saction. The other priests in onOnaiy re-
ceive from one to three hmdrad* so that
there is no great reason for their engaging
in any other callmg."
The young men, among other fol-
liesy have adopted the custom of wear-
ing wigs ; and though disguise might
have rendered one necessary to our
paeudo- mendicant, we do not think
that otherwise he would have exhibit-
ed an;^ dislike to the sillv actions of his
juvenile brethren. Hisolack wig hav-
mg become too invalided for service,
he gave it to a methodist preacher, who
had hitherto worn one of a different
colour, " a very ugly red one.'*
<< James taking op a small lookine-glass in
his lefr hand, and a pocket coi^b in his rieht,
combed out all the friz, and nut his hair
perfectly straight over his forehead, telling
me he snould only use my wig on Sundays
and holidays; so that James would have
the pleasing variety of a carrotty top in the
week days.'
The reader will find many amusing
matters in these volumes, free and mi-
litary indeed, but not ill-natured.
The author, we are assured, is a gen-
tleman of family and of properly, mov-
ing in the best circles ; and the close
personal inspection of low life by such
an individual, cannot fail to he as pi-
quant as it is new. There is too much
of the amorous spirit of Don- Juan-
Troubadours hip, (the character as-
sumed) in the Journal ; but some al-
lowance ouzht to be made for a young
man of fashion (not more than 20)
placed in so novel and so exciting a
situation; and though scandal is al-
leged, there are few anecdotes in the
book which do not rebound to the
honour of the parties, either as cha-
ritable, hospitable, or amiable persons.

final deslruclion of the seats of Pa-
pistry and Islamisin may be realized in
a manner which may teach them that
there is a wide diflference between na*
tural philosophy, and that which is
Tain deceit.
That the thermometer does not sink
below a certain point (we believe from
memory 480* however deeply we may
descend into the bowels of the earth,
it a phenomenon noticed by Darwin*
and we are inclined to think that a
certain portion of heat is necessary to
preserve the crust of the earth in ad-
nesion. It has been, therefore, pre-
sumed that a subterranean fire, of
which volcanic craters are the safety-
valves, is continuously in action, and
that by generating earthquakes, and
elevating the bottom of the sea, it has
produced those marine appearances
which are so discoverable npon the
present surface of the land. The proof
of this is the identity of the fossil shells
on the coasts of the Mediterranean and
other seas, with those which are now
in the same places subaqueous. There
are further phenomena* which seem to
show that accretions on the earth*s
forface have caused changes of climate
by preventing in places the develope-
ment or expansion of subterranean
heat, as by Button's chasms; for if
the solar rays never penetrate more
than ten feet deep, and Newton and
La Place are correct in presuming that
there has never been any change m the
earth's axis, we do not think the mere
clearance of woods, and drainage of
marshes, a sufficient agent for so stu-
pendous a change. Certain it is that
the fossil flora of our coal deposits
yields the most extraordinary evidence
of an extremely hot climate in our own
island ; and if this had been the pure
result of external agency, how could
the mere tertiary formation have ef-
fected a change ? Mr. Lyell says as to
the fact,
«The remains both of the animal and
iregetable kingdom preserved in strata rf
dijfertni ages^ indicate that there hat been
a great diminution of temperature through-
out the northern hemisphere in the latitudes
now occupied by Europe, At ia, and America.
The change has extended to the arctic cir-
cle, as well aa to the temperate zone. The
heat and humidity of the air, and the uni-
formity of the climate, appear to have been
most remarkable, when the oldest strata hi-
iherto discovered toere formed. The approxi-
mat!oa to m climMte simikr to that now en-
Jeyed ia tb^e Utitudes, does noi commence
tUl the mra rfthefarmMikms termed terHetrift
and while fAe different tertiary rocks were
deposited in suceessionf the temperature seems
to have been still fbrther lowered, and to
have contioued to diminish gradoally even
after the appearance of a great portion of
existing species upon the earth.'* — p. 103.
Thus it is plain that the climate has
changed with the successive incmsta*
tions. Mr. Lyell (c. vii.) assigns the
cause to transpositions of the sea and
land ; but, according to the passage ex-
tracted, the changes have been chrono-
logical, and consequent upon the /er-
tiartfformalion. As to the Vulcanists
and Neptunists, Mr. Lyell thus settles
the question^ by admitting the agency
of both:
'*We may divide the great agents of
diaage in the inofganio world into two
principal classes, the aqueous and the ig-
neous. To the former belong riven, tor-
rents, springs, currents, and tides ; to the
latter, volcanos and earthquakes. Both
these classes are iostrutnents of decay, as
well as of reproduction ; but they may also
be regarded as antagonist forces. The aquc'
out agents are incessantly labouring to re-
duce the inequalities of the earth's surface
to a level, while the igneous on the other
hand are equally active In restoring the un-
evennees of tfaie external crust, partly by
heapbg up new matter in certain localities,
and partly by depressing one portion and
forcing out another of the earth's envelope."
—p. 167.
Bolh these systems, we think, as
acting in coparceny and aliernation,are,
correct. It must be palpable that gra-
nite rocks could not be capable of sup-
porting animal or vegetable life, to the
extent of the plan of Providence, and
yet they may be necessary as the crust
of so large and heavy a body as our pla-
net, containing in lU centre a furnace
or chemical elaboratory for supporting
the action indispensable to the exist-
ence of the planet itself. With regard
to a central fire, the objection that
combustion cannot act without air, is
apoarently strong; but we know that
caloric is independent of combustion,
because heat can be created by only
the admixture of two salts, and in the
artificial volcano inflammation ensues,
under well-known and amusing pro-
cesses, where there is no contact with
atmospheric air.- Without recourse,
too, to this well-known chemical leger-
demain, it is evident that nitre has the
property of condensing in itself an enor-
mous quantity of atmospherical air, and

Gigantic as may appear modem vol-
canic operations, they are quite insig-
nificant, compared with those of for-
OBcr times. The Giants' Causeway in
Ireland is nothing more than a column
•f basaltic lava, caused by some an-
cient volcanic eruption ; and we may
judge what must nave been the tSect
of one of them, from that of Skapta
Jokul in Iceland in the year 1783.
" It filled up rivers firom 4 to 600 feet
deep» and spread Itself over allnvhtl pitins in
brMd lakes of fire, from It to 15 miles
wide, ud 100 feet deep. It completely
dried up the river Skapta, and when ang-
tnented by new sappHei flowed up the coofm
«f the river to the hiot of the hills, whence
the Skapta takes lu rise. What wonld peo-
Dle thtak of the bed of the Thames being
filled up ? and yet that miffht happen, were
Engfatnd a volcanic conatry/'
Our author gives us the follbwing
ingenious representation of the oouse-
queuces of such an eruption in Eng-
land.
** Let us imagine the termination of the
Skapta branch of lava to rest on the escarp-
ment of the inferior and middle volite, where
it commands the vale of Gloucester. The
great plateau might be one hundred feet
thick, and from ten to fifteen miles broad.
We may also suppose great tabular masses
to occur at intervals, csppinc the summit
of the Coswold bills between Gloucester and
Oxford, by Northleach, Burfbrd, and other
towns. The wide valley of the Oxford clay
would then occasion an interruption for
many milss ; but the sante rocks might re-
cur on the summit of Cumnor and Shotover
hills, and all tlie other volitic eminences of
that district. On the clialk of Berkshire,
extensivs plateaus six or seven miles wide
would aeaiu be formed ; and lastly^ crowning
the highest sands of Highgate and Hemp-
stead, we might behold some remnants of
the deepest parts of the current five or six
hundred feet in thickness, rivalling or even
surpassing in height Salisbury orags and Ar^
thur's seat."— p. »76.

be found that there would neither be a lack
of talent, nor of industry. Unfortunately
for the literary character, and even for book-

of fostering and encouragingy?/ie and expend

eonbined with other substaocet to increase
tiM stones of the earth. In the various
■oeeessive periods, appeared the mollusca,
the iislics, the amphibioos animals, all of
gigantic size ; nad all, after living their ap-
pointed period, were destroyed, and their
raowins employed, as tlie materials of addi-
tional surface ror the advancing earth. The
mammalia of the waters, sea-horses, sea-
lions, whales, and their whole kindred, form-
ed the next step of the progression. The
violent motions and agitations of the waves
dettrojed these also, that they might add
their huge carcases to the inanimate surface
of the earth, which now attained that state
in which it seat up vegetation adapted for
the support of the land. Nature now put
fiwth her strength in the production of the
aonatrotts megatheria, mastodons and mam-
moths, whose remains excite our wonder
and our curiosity. This race too, after
having possessed the earth for an indefinite
period, saw its appointed end come : the
waters rose once more, and involved them,
like their predecessors, in the clay, sand,
and gravel, which they swept along ; but no
rocky stratum was, as with the former gene-
rations, the result : and the sandstone,
gypsum, clay, and other substances, in
wnich the remains of thu creation are
Ibund, occur only in spaces of limited extent.
The violent revolutions of the earth were
now at an end : the races of animals, such
as at present occupy its surface, appeared :
and last of all, Man, the perfection of Na-
ture's works, entered on the scene of hia
future destinies. But the violent powers of
nature had not yet ceased to operate; and
tradition retains the recollection of at least
one great destruction of animal life by

io a superior manner ; and more satis-
factory elucidation may render thiak-

There is something, too, very favour*
able to such elacidation, in the nature
and studies of a profound lawyer and
judge. He does not expatiate for mere
enibellishmeni, nor does he infer with*
out indisputable e\'idence. He begins
at the foundation, and proceeds up-
wards at the superstructure; whereu
philosophers do not draw always de-
ductions from the contemporary states
of mind and feelings, but, as we may
so say, judge of Gothic Cathedrals bj
the rules which only belong to Grecian
temples. But there is a geology in
history, and we like to have a sound
knowledge of the progressive strata.
We must here stop, oecause we have a
long extract to make, and are sincere
lovers of old English, as well as old
England, and think with Sir James
Mackintosh, that it has not been im-
proved by being marble-painted with
Greek and Latin. It has enfeebled it;
and there are many things which are
thus spoiled by commixture. The ac^
centuation of our ancient language,
with its numerous consonants, might
have been as unmusical as the growl-
ing of a bear, but then the animal fur-
nished good meat. Our present mis-
cellaneous language is merely a sau-
sage ; it may indeed be a German one,
but the original was a Westphalia
ham — a better thing.
** Origin of the English Language, ^c—
From the Anglo-Saxons we derive the names
of the most ancient officers among ns — of
the greater part of the divisions of tne king-
dom, and of almost all our towns and villagee .
From them also we derive our language ; of
which the structure, and a majority of its
words, much greater than those who have
not tboucht on the subject would at first
easily believe, are Saxon. Of sixty- nine
words which make up the Lord's Prayer,
there are only five not Saxon ; the best ex-
ample of the natural bent of our language,
and of the words apt to be chosen by those
who speak and write it without design. Of
eightT-one words in the soliloquy (rf* Ham-
let, tliirteen onlv are of Latin origin. Even
in a passage of nine^ words in Milton,
whose diction is more learned than that of
any other poet, there are only sixteen Latin
words. In four verses of the authorized
version of Genesis, which contain about a
hundred and thirty words, there are no more
than five Latin. In seventy-nine words of
Addison, whose perfect taste preserved him
from a pedantic or constnuned preferenee
for any portion of the language, we find only
fifteen Latin. In later times the langnage
has rebelled against the bad tasle of ihoee

indolence, imperfect meins of infor-
■nation, or interested motives.
In this sense, the present Life of
Loftl Byron may be called a rash book,
iiiicc it sets forth many new and bold
things, not only in opinion, but in
fact. Disdaining to administer to pre-
conceived notions, or to prejudices of
pny kind, Mr. Gait seems resolved to
avail himself to the full, of the ad-
▼aotages arising from his intimacy with
the poet, and uom other means of in-
formation in his power; and to care
little for the outcries of those rival-
biographers of Byron, who may now
become his critics, provided he can
produce an honest account of that
great man's actions, and a fearless esti-
mate of his mind. Lord Byron, in-
deedf is a dangerous subject for a me-
moil': whoever undertakes to write
about him, should gird on his armour,
for he has entered on a kind of war-
fare ; a fact of which Mr. Gait must
be, by this time, aware ; for it is quite
certam that no history of the noble
E>et that may be worth reading, can
il of provoking hostility from some
quarter or other. The present work
Bas accordingly been attacked vehe-
mently: nothmg, indeed, was more
easy to see, the moment it appeared,
than that it could not by any possibi-
lity pass without notice, which it has
bad in more than usual abundance
both of praise and blame. No one,
however, has called the volume an in-
sipid one ; all have been eager to read
it, and the fulness and genuineness of
its statements connected with the inci-
dents which marked the poet's event-
ful career, have never been questioned.
But in speculations as affects charac-
ter, and in inferences from facts, not
to mention occasional eccentricities in
style, Mr. Galt*s book has ^ivcn rise to
much disputation ; and in some of
these particulars, thoug^h we respect
his boldness and ingenuity, we should
incline to break a lance with him our-
selves. This, however, is not the place
fordiscussions on abstract points, wnich,
to be pursued propeilv, &nould be pur-
sued deliberately anci at length ; and
we must therefore content ourselves by
pointing out to the young reader such
Sualitics in the present Life of Lord
lyion, as may enable him not only to
comprehend more fully the narratives,
descriptions, and allusions in the noble
poet's works, but, above all, to steer in
Mjf'/^ through the seductions and dan-
gers which too often beset that indivh.
doal who may be tempted to read
without distinction. Of these qualities,
the former will be found in the minute
account (^iven of the incidents of Lord
Byron's life (particularly of those which
occurred during his travels abroad),
and of the personages, native and fo-
reign, with whom he became acquaint-
ed, and who have, as it were, sat to
the poet as studies of character ; while
as regards that which, to use a medical
phrase, may be termed the di$ii\fectitig
properties of the biography, we may
allude to those interesting exhibitions
of the mental character of Lord Byron,
which show that the disregard of moral
proprieties which, unfortunately, are
too common in his poems, was the off-
spring of an unhappy state of mincf,
followed by remorseful thoughts. Con-
sidered thus, Mr. Gait's volume should
invariably accompany the collected
works of^ihe poet, to the mischief of
some of which it would act as an ai»-
tidote.
The following very characteristic i in-
cidents, connected with the death and
funeral of the noble poet's mother, arc
a key to those wayward impulses of al-
ternate pathos and borlesqae which
exist so remarkably in *' Beppo*' and
"Don Juan.'* The affected indif-
ference of Byron at the sight of the fu-
neral, was but a desperate effort tu un-
burthen himself of a load at his heart
which he felt to be insupportable ; and
so was his subsequent sparring-match
with the servant. But all would not
do. Nature would not be repelled ;
and the bereaved son, overcome with
anguish which only grew the stronger
the more he opposed it, was forced to
yield, and seek the solitude of his
chamber that he might give way to his
tears.
" In the mean time, while busily cn-
Saged in his literary projects with Mr. DbI-
u, and in law affairs with his agent, he was
suddenly summoned to Newstead by the
state of his molher's health : before he
reached the Abbey she had breathed her
last. The event deeply affected him; he
liad not seen her since his return* and a pre-
sentiment possessed her when they parted,
that she was never to see hun again.
" Notwithstanding the violence of her
temper, and other defects in her conduct,
her affection for him had been so fond and
dear, that he undoubtedly returned it with
unaffected sincerity ; and from many casual
and incidental expressions which I have
heard him employ cooceming her, I am

Is reoorded, 'FVkbj, Aug. 81, m turtle,

ODCO more, in the tame publication for 1754,
we read, < Saturday, July 13, the Right

We have heard (whether truly or
not) that the Corporation of London,
when a dinner was given to the Allied
Sovereigns in 1814, offered 1000/. for
a turtle, there being then none to be
got.
This work, we need not say, is most
satisfactorily executed, and abounds
with interesting and instructive matter.

IN regard tonrticiesof indispensable
consumption, nothing can create dis-
tress in ihexendor hut ihe supply ex-
ceeding the demand; a result which
easily ensues from abundance of raw
inatcrial, capital, and workmen, divi-
non of labour, and machinery. It is
needless to \nirsiw the tfuism to its
consequences, which amoant only to
these, that a roan cannot pay because
he cannot get, nor employ becaose he
cannot sell. The only remedies are
suspension of production, or better
market, of whicn the former only may
be possible. The interval may occa-
sion severe suffering, because hundreds
live from hand to mouth. To rem^ly
this state of things, Capt. Pettmati pro-
poses the establishment of a National
bank, and creation of paper by it, con-
vertible into stock bearing interest, so
as to give it a ne^ociable valne. Mr.
Pettman is a very ingenious man, and
it is certain that Governments lending
money upon goods (t. e. in humble
English^ turning pawnbrokers), under
a contract in the borrower to repay the
same with interest, is an old and suc-
cessful mode of relief, practised Jin/ we
believe b]f Tiberius, and occasional ly,
under similar circumstances, ever since*
The remarks and suggestions of Capt;
Pettman well deserve attention; but
entertaining, as we do, the greatest
doubts concerninff the practicability,
or even wisdom of forcing a trade, we
decline committing ourselves. Gluts
and inundations are of similar charac-
ter; both suspend business, and both
cure themselves, but never without in-
jury, and often absolute ruin, where
incomes arc contingent. The remedies
proposed by speculators are generally
as inefficacious as it would be to bring
up fire engines, pumps, and syringes,
to exhaust a flood ; which cannot be
removed but by excision of the feeding
streams.

PA LEY says, that seduction is a
fraud of which the injury is threefold ;
1st. to the woman, who suffers the
pin of infamy, the loss of her charac-
ter, and generally of her moral prin-
ciple; 2. to the family; 3. to the pub-
lic, who lose a valuable member of so-
ciety. Some writers have gone further
than Palev, and class the criminality
with murder, on account of its virtual
consequences. An exhibition of these
consequences in various ways, forms
the moral object of this novel ; and so
well aretheypourtrayedyihnt we shudder
with horror ; and warn all parents

FINE ARTS.
yUws m the Basi ; eompridng India, Can*
Ion, and ihs Shorn qf the Red iSmw— This
beaotifnl work ranget in size with Batty'e
Viewt.— -The Plates are to be engraved by
the first artists, from original sketches by
Capt. Robert Elliot, R. N. The first nam-
ber is a fiivourable specimen. It contains, I .
Hnmaioon's Tomb at Delhi j «. Tii Blahal,
a splendid edifice at Agra; S. Tiger IiUnd,
nt the mouth of the river Tigrb, near Can-
ton. The interest of Europeans in British
ImSa, u rapidly on the increase! It is so
rich in natural sceneij, as well as in dbtin-
guished specimens of oriental architecture,
as pagodas, temples, palaces, forts, &c.
that £b present work, in the able hands to
which it IS entrusted, and the agreeable size
in which it is executed, cannot &il to be
auccesflful. The descriptions are entertaio-
faig, and written with considerable spirit.
Landscape Illustrations of the Pfaverley
Nooels.—Tht Fifth Number of these Illus-
iratioos contuos four beautiful gems of art.
The first is St. Mary's Abbey, by Prout ; 8.
Holy Loch, by J. D. Harding; 8. Both-
well Castle, by Reinagle ; and 4. Peel Castle,
by Gastineau. The whole are engraved in
his most finished manner, by £• Finden.
To praise this work is now unnecessary. It
is universally known, and cannot fiiil to find
•II admirer in every one who inspects it.
Part IV. of PompcicuM, brSir W. Gill,
has plates equal to the three preoediug
numbers. Plate 53 is a very elepmt apart-
ment—-the Fountain of Shells. Two other
Plates consist of Pictures of Infant Her-
cules bathed in the Styx, and Theseus and
Ariadne i both beautifully grouped. Piste
81 is a curious representation of a Waggon
tar conveying Water. Behind are two fi-
gures with cantharse, or Ull narrow pitchers,
one of which is being filled by a {ripe from
the waggon.
Select Fiews of the Lakes of Sco!land,Jrom
Paintings by John Flemings and engraved h/
Joseph Swan; tvith historical and descriptive
Jltustratiuns, by John M» Leighton, Esq.-—'
The same trio of ulected individuals, in
their various departments, who produced so
beautiful a volume illustrative of the '* Views
on the Clyde,'* have in this work again
combined to favour the public with a work
mi the " Lakes of Scotland." The first
Number cimtains three Plates of Loch-Lo-
Mood, ami these uc accompanied with a
very foil description. The Plates are highly
beautiful ; the points of view are picture»qBe
and happily selected, and the prints are exe-
cuted in the highest style of line engraving.
Each part will be illustrative of one, or two,
of the principal Ukes. Tho whole will be
eoesprized in about a dosen Numbers { and
the present work will form an excellent
oonpanion to the ** Views on the Clyde."
It b highly deserving of eooouragement.
The PanoraflM cf Switterland, as viewed
fion the summit of Mont Righi, is an ad-
mirable specimen of art. The views were
drawn from nature by H. Keller, and en-
Saved by J. Clark. They embrace the
ountains of the Schwarxwakl, or Black
Forest, Gothard Pass, Jura Mountains, Lake
of Lucerne, and other bterasting scenes of
that wiU and romantic country. To thie
Panorama a companion is appended, embeU
Ibhed with a circular view of the country^
by General Plyffer» and comprising a de-
scriptive account of Mont Righi, and of
the celebrated prospect obtained from ita
summit. ■
We have been fitvoured by an eaily peep
at the Illustrations of the mtUer's IVrcatk
far I8dl. They will be found equal to any
of the predecessors of thb popular annual.
The following real views are truly beautiful :
Dove Dale, by Barber (the most interesting
of the set) i Interior of Antwerp Cathedral,
by Wiki{ Delos, by Linton (an exquisite
gem^ ; and Cologne, by Austin (equally
good). Sacred subjects: a good copy of
Wcsrs Three Maries at the Tomb of Christ ;
the Deluge, by A« Mosses ; and St. Cecilia,
who b a fine woman, but dressed too gaily,
fitter for an earthly drawiug-room rather
than the heavenly choir. Two beautiful
rustic subjecu are. The Cottage Farm-yard,
bv Barker ; and a Peasant and her child, by
Weaull. The Bandit's Home b a fine view
of a Swiss ravine. Two Female Heads, an
<* English Flower," and « U Hu^rfuoa de
X^on," by Messrs. Harmves and Leversege,
complete the series. All the Plates are ex-
quisitely engraved.
We have seen a specimen of the " Re-*
membraneer," a new annual, edited by Mr.
Thomas Roscoe; and we can confidently
say, that if the embcllishmenu of the forth-
coming volume be equal in design and exe-
cution to **the Orphans," by Rolls, and
** Mont Blanc," by Fenner, there can be
little doubt of its success.

Foreign News, — Revolution in the Netherlands^
[Sept.
Alto given a great banquet, to nrhich De
Potter and the other Belgian exiles, iirid
Pr. Bowring, were iiivUcfd. Among llie
toaslBwas, ** The English nation, ihauks
for their generous exeitioiis, and peace
and union with thero for ever."
During some late disturbances in Paris,
a great deal of machinery wai destroyed
by the workmen, whose rage appeared
to be particularly directed against the
nachinet used for printing. In the
printing-oflice of M. Taillard several
were destroyed ; and at M. Selligue's
the mob broice to pieces a sieam print-
iiif^ machine which cost 30,000r. 1'hey
went next to the office of the Canstitw
Hameif for the purpose of destroying the
printing machines ; but it being repre-
sented to them, that the journal, which
was their best friend and advocate, could
not appear if thus ir^ured, they desisted.
On the Sd of September bodies of
Journeymen printers went to the nfliices
of several journals printed by machinery,
and demanded that they should be
printed with the ordinary press, in order
to employ a greater number of hands.
Several of the papers were, in conse-
quence, temporarily discontinued. This
violent opposition to machinery has at
length subsided, and the journeymen
have returned to business.
There have been disorders at Nismefy
arising, it would appear, out of contests
between the partisans of the Jesuits, and
their opponents ; the character of this
commotion was so serious, that troops
had been marched to Ni»mes.
The Report of the Commission ap-
pointed to investigate the charges against
rbe ex-ministers, for si^cning the ordi-
nance of the 25 lb of July, has been
published. They are represented to be
^ilty of high treason, and those who
have been taken, and now confined to
ike castle of Vincennes, will immediately
be brought to trial.
THE NETHERLANDS.
The late Revolution in France has
begun to produce its effects in neigh-
bouring nations. A tremendous explo-
sion has taken place in Belgium, which
we sincerely hope will be allayed with-
out any serious political oonvuliilon. It
is generally known that the Belgians
have never been sincerely attached to
the Dutch government, under which
they were placed in consequence of the
overthrow of Buonaparte, and henee it
was concluded that the Revolution in
France might be followed by some
movements in that country. On the
S4th of Aug. there was an article in the
Oovernment paper published at Brolfels
wbicb spoke of the happiness enjoyed
by the Belgians ; this appears to have
irritated the public mhid. On the
evening of Wednesday the $5th, a mob
assent bled and attacked the h«iu8e of ilie
editor of Le National, After breaking
into tlte house, the mob proceeded to gut
it of every \\ung it contained; paper,
presses, types, furniture, every thins:
was seized and scattered into the street.
They afterwards broke the windows of
the Court of Assiie, and destroyed the
furniture, &c. of the Director of Police.
By this time the town was in an uproar,
and the troops got under arms. The
crowd next went to the Hotel of Van
Maanen, the Minister of Justice (who is
very obnoxious) ; they ransacked it and
set it on fire, repulsing the soldiers and
firemen who attempted to save it.
During the night arms were seiied at
various places. In this state affairs
continued till day- break on Thursday,
when the streets were filled with drunken
people, parading about, some armed
with guns, and others flourishing naked
sabres over their heads. About six
o'clock in the morning the military
commenced firing upon the populace,
and many fell. The resistance of the
people was very determined. In many
places the royal arms were pulled down.
As the morning advanced the Burgher
Guard be^n to make its appearance ;
there was evidently a disinclination in
the military to fire on the citizens ;
and ultimately there seemed to be a
mutual agreement that they should re-
tire to their barraeks, and leave the care
otthe city to the Burgher Guard. About
three o'clock In the day, the ancient
standard of Brabant, red, orange, and
black, was displayed on the Town Hall,
and detachments of the Bnrgrher Guard
carried it about the streets. — ^The whole
affair seems to have taken place without
premeditation. It would appear that
the King of the Netherlands is not ge-
nerally unpopular ; he is a man of good
sense, and good feeling ; but some im-
prudent prosecutions instituted against
certain popular journals, followed by the
banishment of ibe conductors, turned
the tide against him and his Ministers.
Early on the morning of the S7th, the
principal citizens Joined the officers of
the Civic Guard in the barrack of the
Annonciades. They called for arms,
which were given them, and in a short
time patroles of the Burgher Guard were
organized, and appeared in the streets.
They interposed between the combat-
ants, and relieved several posts which
were occupied by the flreraen and the
troops of the garrison. A proclamation
of the Magistrates was distrrbnted and
posted up, anivoucvcxix^ l\x« abolition of

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
Nothing decUive hai yet been effected
In the Peninsula. The Spanish Cou-
stUotionalists have been gradually as-
sembling on the Pyrennean frontiers,
and the government authorities, in full
eipectation of the meditated blow, are
every where on the alert. The Consti-
lutionalists have published a " Mani-
festo," of considerable length, fully de-
tailing their views and otijects. It main-
tains that one of the fundamental prin-
ciples uf the ancient laws of the king-
dom, authorises Spaniards to combine
iind take up arms against the King when
he shall abuse the power mhich those
laws declare ** was given him only for
the public good ;" or when he shall for-
get the obligation imposed on him, in
the words of the law, of being *< more
watchful of his people's welfare than hia
own.*' The manifesto, upon this point,
adds, that there is not in Spain a mure
ancient and authorised custom than such
a rising of the people to repress dedpo-
tisro, when it infringes on the national
liberty. In many instances, it sa)r8»
have the Spaniards, acting upun that
principle, dethroned their King, and
placed the kingly power in other bands
The manifesto declares that << the Di*
reeling Junta of the Insurrection" has
constituted itself, for the present, a Pro-
visional Regency, on the ground that
the King, being in the power of a (ac-
tion that rules bim, is incapable of go-
verning. It is enjoined that the Re-
gency shall be solemnly proclaimed
throughout the kingdom, and that all
the authorities, civil and military, shall
obey it, until the National Congress shall
have assembled.
In Portugal numerous arrests have
taken place, and the greatest constern-
ation has prevailed, since the affairs in
France have become known. Don Mi-
guel has been compelled, by the British
government, to restore the merchant
vessels which had been captured off Ter-
ceira by the Portuguese blockading
squadron, the commander of which lias
been dismissed the service in disgrace.
TURKEY.
The Albanians have been for some
time in a state of open rebellion against
the Porte i and from all accounts the
province may be considered as lost to.
the Turks. A communication from Bel-
grade, dated Aug. 7, states that the
grand Viaier has been guilty of the most
barbarous treachery. When be arrived
jir JBitu^lia he felt convinced that he
gl/oa/J aMtJiin his object with difficulty
^udshwly by force of arm?, and had
recourse to stratagtm. With this view
be sent messages to all the Albanian
ebiefs with the declaration that he had
come to Bitoglia by order of the Porte,
with a commission to listen to the com-
plainu of the Albanians and to satisfy
their just demands, and he therefore in-
vited them lo come in person to Bitoglia.
In consequence of this invitation, a great
number vf them immediately s«t out (or
Bitoglia. accompanied, by way of pre-
caution, by an escort of 5000 men. On
their arrival they were permitted to
make their escort encamp at the gates,
and the Grand Vizier gave the chiefs an
audience; after listening to their de-
mand, which was the payment of A(teen
millions of Turkish piastres, he de-
clared that they had only to wait a short
time at Bitoglia, till the arrival of the
sums placed at his disposal by the go-
vernment. The Albanians being thus
made easy, had already waited fuur days,
when the Grand Vizier sent them wurd
uue morning that he was going to re-
view his regular troops, aoiuunting to
15,000 men, aud that he invited them
to be spectators. Tbe Albanian cliiefs
suspecting nothing, went to the place at-
tended bya» escort of 400 men only, when
during the evolutions they were suddenly
surrounded by tbe Turkish troops, and
massacred to tbe last man. After this
dreadful carnage, tbe troops marched
against the escort of the Albanians, en-
eamped ^w tbe other side of the town,
which immediately took flight. But as
tlie Grand Viiier had caused all ihe
roads to be previously occupied, a very
small number of Albanians escaped the
sword of the Turks.
AFRICA.
Tunis, -^M^. 10. Count de Larocho-
foucault, sent by France to Tunis with
extraordinary powers, has concluded a
new treaty with the Regency of Tunis,
of which the following are tbe principal
articles: 1. Henceforward full and en-
tire liberty is to be enjoyed by the com-
merce of all nations, and the Dey will
cease to levy the monopoly which he ex-
ercised formerly. 2. The cession of the
island of Tabarca to France. 3. No tri-
bute is to be paid henceforward. 4. The
Turks now emploved in military service
are to be sent back to their country. 5.
If a vessel belonging to any nation what-
soever be shipwrecked on the coasts of
Tunis, if a sailor or a passenger be assas-
sinated or ill-treated on the above coast,
the Regency will be obliged to pay tbe
value of the vessel and of its cargo. 6.
Piracy is prohibited, and in case of war
with any power, the Tunisians will have
no right to attack merchantmen. 7.
The slaves shall be restored to liberty.

Domeitie Occurrences,
mob of hnatn and otben Mseiubled, and
cut down the banks. They were indicted for
felony under Sir R. Peel'i Act, but were ac-
quitted, under the directions of Judge Parke,
on the ground that, as the embankment
stopped the water, and occasioned the in-
jury to the lands above, they were a nui-
sance, which the occupiers had a right to
■bate. He added likewise, that the com-
missioner had exceeded the powers given
him by the act of parliament in making this
new drain and embankment. In conse-
queuce of this decision, the poor people
and farmers of the Otmoor towns enter-
tuned a notion that the act of parliament
was void ; that the inclosore and sJl the pro-
ceedings under it were illesal; and that
they had a right to destroy the fences, and
lav the whole open as it was originally.
They assembled, therefore, on Saturday
night, the 98th of August, in large bodies,
and began breaking and cutting up the
fences and hedges. These proceedings
"were continued every night for a week.
The rioters, who were often disguised, were
Joined by people fr<Mn the neighbouring vil-
lages, and their numbers at some times
amounted to more than a thousand; and
the greater part of the fences were destroyed
to a very great value. Many ]>ersons were
assaulted and wounded, particularly a son
of Sir Alexander Croke, who went to pro-
tact his father's property, and was left for
dead. All attempts of the civil power being
found insufficient to quell them, the assist-
ance of the miliury was called in. The
Oxfordshire Yeomanrv Cavalry, under Lord
Churchill, and the Duckin^hamshire Yeo-
manry Cavalry, under the Marquis of Chao-
dos, lent their ready protection, and the
rioters were stopped iu their proceedings.
About forty were taken prisoners on uie
moor, and carried in waggons to Oxford,
escorted by a detachment of Oxfordshire
Cavalry. On passing through St. Giles's
(where an immense number of persons had
assembled to enjoy the festivities of a fiiir,
similar to tliat of St. Bartholomew) the mi-
litary were attacked in every direction ; brick-
bats, stones, and bludgeons were hurled at
them without mercy. The soldiers were de •
termined to secure their prisoners, and the
mob were determined to release them. The
military liad rather the advantage till they
turned down Beaumont-street, which, from
St. Giles's, is the nearest way to the county
gaol. Here they were forced to give way ;
and the prisoners during the conflict effected
their escape. A detachment has since been
sent down by government; and many of the
rioters have been apprehended.
Sept, 15. The interesting ceremony of
opening the Manchester and Liverpool Rail-
way took place this day. Ic was rendered
^Dore splendid and imposing by the presence
of the Duke of WelJiogtoa and many dis-
$wgui§hed indrndutli, whom the Directors
[Sept.
'Itad invited. The concourse of spectators
at each end of the line was immense. The
Erocebsi(»n left Liverpool twenty minutes
efure eleven o'clock drawn by eight- loco-
motive engines, the first of which was the
Northumbrian, with the Directors and nu-
merous distinguished visitors, including the
Duke of Wellington. The other engines
were the Phoenix, North Star, Rocket,
Dart, Comet, Arrow, and Meteor. The
carriage iu which the Duke of Wellington
and his friends travelled, was truly magnifi-
cent. The floor was S<2 feet long by 8
wide, and was supported by eight large iron
wheels. A grand canopy, 34 feet long, was
phuied aloft upon gilded pillars, contrived so
aa to be lowered in passing through the
tunnel. The Northumbriam drew three
carriages, the first containing the band, the
second the Duke of Wellington and the dis-
tinguished visitors, and the third the Di-
rectors. The Phoenix and the North Sur
drew five carriages each ; the Rocket drew
three ; aud the Dart, Comet, Arrow, and
Meteor, each four. The total number of
persons conveyed was 779. On issuing
from the smaller tunnel at Liver|>oul, the
first engine, that is, the Northumbrian,
took the south, or right-hand line of rail-
way, while the other seven engines proceeded
along the south line. The procession did
not proceed at a particularly rapid pace-
not more than 15 or 16 miles an hour. In
the course of the journey, the Northum-
brian accelerated or retarded its speed oc-
casionally, to give the Duke of Wellington
an opportunity of inspecting the most re-
markable parts of the work. On the arrival
of the procession at Parkside, (a little on
this side of Newton) the carriages stopped
to take in a supply of water. Before start-
ing from Liverpool, the company were
particularly requested not to leave the car-
riages, and the same caution was repeated in
the printed directions describing tne order
of procession. Notwithstanding this regu-
lation, however, Mr. Husklsson, Mr. Wm.
Holmes, M. P., and other gentlemen,
alighted from the carriage of the Duke of
Wellington, when the Northumbrian stopped
at Parkside. At the moment they descended
into the road, three of the engines on the
other line — the Phoenix, the Nortli Sur,
and the Rocket, were rapidly approaching.
Mr. Huskisson aud Mr. Holmes were stand-
ing in the road between the two lines of
railway, which are about four feet distant
from each other. Unluckily, Mr. Huskisson
imagining that there was not room for a
person to stand between the lines while the
other engines were passing, made an attempt
to get i^ain into the carriage of the Duke
before the Dart came up. He laid hold of
the door of the carriage, and pulled it open
with so much force that he lost his balance,
and fell backwards across the rails of the

Obituary.*— 7*Ae Duke de Bourbon,
tSepC«
, The most remarkable AflTain, in the
campaign of 1799 and 1793| in which
theae three illustrious heroes performed
Srodigies of valour, were the hatiles of
ockrim, Pforts^ Barbelroth, Berstheiin,
Weissembun^, and Haguenau. On the
Prince of Cond^ commanding a charge
on the Tillage of Berstheim, where the
republican armies were concentrated in
great force, his son the Duke of Bour-
bon, at the head of the second and
third division of cavalry, made a charge
on the enemy's cavalry, and drove it
before him. Impelled by the ardour of
the moment, the Duke rushed forward
with only a few followers, when the Re-
publicans, taking advantage of the cir-
eumstance, immediately surrounded him.
The contest was
bloody, and the
Duke was severe-
ly wounded ; but
the rest of his .
troops coming up, the enemy took to
flight, leaving their artillery in posaes-
aion of the Royalists.
The Duke de Bourbon commanded
the cavalry in his father's army, wiih
distinguished honour, from 1 792 to 1796;
but Austria having made peace with
France, the troops of the Prince de Condtf
passed in 1797 into the service of Russia.
The following letter from Louis XVII 1.,
dated Verona, June S4, 179&> will show
the estimation in which the services of
the Duke were held :
*' MoN COUSIN, Je suis fort sensible k la
part que vout prenez k roa juste douleur ; elle
en adoucit uo peu I'amertume. Je suis bien
sfir que vous combattrez pour moi comme
vous avez corobattu pour le feu Roi, mon
seigneur et seveu* ; mais j'esp^ que ce ne
sera pes au m^me prix ; vutre sang est trop
pr^ieux pour I'Eut et pour moi, pour que
je ne ddsire pas vivemeuc qu'il plaise I Dieu
de IVpargner. Comptez tuujours sur I'estime
et Tamiti^ v^riubles avec lesquels je suis,
roon cousin, votre tr^-affeetionn^ cousin,
^ •« Louis."
After the campaign of 1800, we be-
lieve the Duke de Bourbon accompa-
nied his father to England, as he was re-
sident at Wanstead House in E«sex, at
the time of the murder of his son in
1804. Ill a letter from Wanstead House,
dated Feb. 3, 1805, addressed to M.
Saini-Jacques, private secretary to the
Duke d'Engbien, he feelingly adverts to
this atrocious affair, f which appears to
£ave blighted all bis happiness :
r • Louis XVlT
f The following bold assertions re-
Jst/re to tbe execution of the Due
d'Engbien, are extncted from Barry
^'Afears's Journal: — Buonaparte in-
/ Barry O'McAra, (bat Prince Tal-
^ retained a iecter wrilteu by
** Apr^ le malhenr cruel dont j'ai iU ac-
eabl^, roon cher Jacques, je ne pouvais
^rouver d'adoucisseroent mieox seoti k ma
vive douleur que de toiu savoir vons-m^ine
hors de danger, vous qui ro^tez, I tons
^anls, la confiance et Tamki^ de ce cher
eafirot que je jpleurerai tonte ma vie. Les
lames me sunoquent, ei je ne me sens pas
la force, en ce moment, mon cher Jacques,
de parler affaire avec vcius. M. de G>otye
veut bien se charger de cette p^ible com-
mission. Vous pouvez prendre con6ance en
ce qu'il vous dira de ma part, et vous con-
former ponctuellement aux ordres qu*il vous
transmettra, tant de la part de moo p^re que
de la mienne. Croyez, roon cher Jacques, \
mon cnti^re confiance et bien sincere amiti^
ponr vous."

On the restoration of the royal family
in 1814, the Duke returned to France,
where his life was passed in comparative
retirement until his death.
The obsequies of the Duke de Bour-
bon took place on Sunday Sept. G ; the
relit^ious ceremonies were performed at
St. Leu. Their royal highnesses the Dukes
d'Orleans and de Nemours, Prince de
Joinville, and Duke d'Aumale, a number
of Peers, Deputies, General OlTicers, and
persons attached to tbe suite of the
Prince, assisted. Tbe procession set out
from St. Leu for St. Denis. Tbe Ist re.
giment of hussars, a battalion of (he
5ih of tbe line, and the national guards
of St. Leu and neighbouring communes,
led the procession, which was brought
up by a troop of the national guards, the
Ist husaam, and the 5th of cuirassiers.
They were received at the gate of the
city by the Mayor of St. Denis, accoui-
paiiied by tbe municipal body. The na-
tional guard and the veterans kept
guard. The procession having marched
to the church, the coffin was deposited
in one of the vaults, near the remains of
the father of the deceased.
the Duke to Napoleon, which might
in all probability have saved his liTe.
*' The Duke (observed Buonaparte) had
written to me, offering his services, and
asking a command in the army from nie,
which. that scelerato Talleyrand did not
make known until two days after the
execution. Talleyrand is a briccone, ca-
pable of any crime. 1 caused the Due
d'Engbien to be arrested in consequence
of the Bourbons having landed assassins

Admiral Sir H. Nicholls.
jl^g. 17. At Clifton, CO. Gloucester,
In bis 72d year. Sir Henry Nicbulls, Ad-
miral uf the White.
This distinguished officer embraced
the naval profession wbeu quite a child \
and may be truly said to have been
" Bora on the wiadi, tad cradled in tke storm."
His seal, perseverance, and abilities,
during a l<»ng and arduous service, raised
bim to the highest rank and honours of
his profession.
Subsequent to the war with the colo-
nicSf this officer commanded tbe Echo
sloop, on the Newfoundland station. On
the 1st Dec. 1788, he was promoted to
the rank of Post-CapUin, and soon after
appointed to the Ampbion frigate, sta-
tioned at Jamaica. During the Russian
armament in 1791* he served as Flag-
Captain to the late Hon. J. U Gower,
in the Formidable of 98 guns, which ship
was pat out of commission in tbe au-
tumn of the same year.
At the commencement of hostilitiei
against France, in 1793, Capt. NlehoUs
was appointed to the Royal Sovereign, a
first-rate, bearing the flag of Admiral
Graves, in the Channel fleet ; and on the
memorable 1st June, 1794, when that
officer was wounded, his place was ably
supplied by Captain Nicfaolls, who bad
the happiness of eootributing in a very
eminent degree to tbe success of this
brilliant encounter. Tbe Royal Sove-
reign was among the first ships in ae-
tioii, and at its conclusion was at tbe
bead of eleven sail of the line, well
formed, and in pursuit of fourteen of the
enemy's ships, when tbe last signal was
made by Earl Howe for his fleet to close.
In this battle tbe Royal Sovereign bad
14 men killed, and 44 wounded. Capt.
NieboUs's conduct was specially notioed
by tbe commander-in-chief, in bis puUie
letter ; and be wu one of those officers
to whom George the Third ordered a
gold medal to be presented.
The wound received by Admiral Graves
causing him to retire for a time from
aetiva service. Captain Nicbolls com-
Bsanded tbe Royal Sovereign as a private
ship until the spring of 1795, when he
was removed into the Marlborough, of
74 guns, where he continued until tbe
period of the mutiny at Spithead, which
created a considerable degree of alarm
throughout the kingdom. On this oeea-
sion the Marlborough's crew committed
the most daring outrages, and evinced a
spirit of disaffection in a greater degree
than that of almost any other ship.
In the summer of 1801, when Sir
Charles Morice Pole was sent to relieve
tbe late Lord Nelson In the command
of the Baltic fleet. Captain Nicbolls ac-
companied that officer, and continued
with bim during tbe remainder of the
war. In 1809 he was appointed one of
the Commissioners of the Board of Na-
val Inquiry, and afterwards Comptroller
of the Navy \ which latter office, howe-
ver, be enjoyed bat a short time.
Capt* Nicbolls was advanced to the
rank of Rear-Admiral in 1807; Vice-
Admiral in 1810; Admiral of the Blue
in 1895; and Admiral of the White in
1880. He was also, for a short time,
Comptroller of tbe Navy, which be re-
signed, and on tbe SOth May, 1820, was
elected a Kniglit Commander of tbe
Bath. Sir H. Nlcholli:, though a strict
officer, was still admired and respected,
not more for his uniform leal, perseve-
rance, and ability, than for bis escellen
disposition, which displayed tbe kindest
heart of a rough seaman in all bis deal-
ings with mankind.

and appointed to the Peterel iloop, July
a»1796. In Dec. following, Lieut. Stainea
landed on the coast of Corsica, took poe-
■emion of a martello tower, and threw
the fun, a long brait IS-pounder, over
apieeipice into the aea. The Peterel
waa at that time eommanded by the
Hen. Philip W(»dehou8e» and tubie-
quently by Lord Proby. In June 1797,
Lieut. Stainee obtained permifuon from
the latter officer to attack a French pri-
vateer, which had violated the neutraii*
ty of Tuscany by taking forcible posses-
sion of several merchant-vessels. Two
boatS) containing twenty ftfficersand men^
beiAg placed under his orders, he suc-
ceeded in carrying her, after a sharp
conflict, in which ftve of his party were
wounded. On this occasion he was per-
aonally opposed to the French comman-
der, who died soon afterwards in eonie-
quenoe uf his wounds. The vessel thus
taken mounted two long guns and seve-
ral awivcls, with a complement of 4&
la Sept. 179B, the Peterel, then at
Gibraltar, under the command of Capt.
l^iS^7» ^'^ charged with diipatcbes
from Earl St. Vincent, to be landed at
Faro on the coast of Portugal, for the
Lisbon packet. In the execution of this
service, Lieut. Staines had a very nar-
row escape ; the Peterel's Jolly boat, in
wliich he was proceeding to the shore,
being upset by a heavy sea near the bar
of Faro, by which accident four men, in-
cluding the pilot, were drowned, and
himself and the only other survivor ex-
poaed to the most imminent peril for
upwards of four hours.
On the 18th of the following month,
the Peterel was captured near the Ba-
learic islands, by four Spanish frigates.
It was fortunately re-taken the next day
by the Argo ; but Lieut. Staines and the
crew were carried off prisoners, first to
Cartbagena, and then to Malaga. Their
escort used ihem with great severity,
and Lieut. Staines received a sabre
wound on the wrist. Having been re-
turned to Gibraltar, a court martial was
held, and after acquittal they were all
retnrned to the Peterel.
The Peterel was then under the eom-
jvaod of Capt. George Long, who after-
wardtfell Mi Elbdf on the 3fi Feb. 1799f
/fe WM9 §upeneded by Capt, F. W. Aus-
ten* with whom Lieat.Stdnct eontimMd
as first Lieutenant until Oet. Ifl follow-
ing. During this period he was present
at the capture of three French frigates
and two brigs of war i also of an armed
galley, a transport brig laden with brass
guns and ammunition, and twenty mer-
ehnnt vessels, most of which were cut
out from the enemy's harbours by boata
under his own directions.
In May 1799> the Peterel was sent to
Inform Lord Nelson, then at Palermo
with only one line-of-battle ship, that a
powerful fleet from Brest, having eluded
the vigilance of Lord Bridport, had
paued the straits of Gibraltar. On hia
arrival off the north-west end of Sicily*
the wind being easterly, Capt. Austen
despatched Lieut. Siaiues with the im-
portant intelligence, overland to the ca-
pital, where he arrived at nine o'clock
in tile evening of May IS, having per-
formed a Journey of lit least 84 miles in
two hours and a quarter, notwithstand-
ing the road was very bad, and bis horse
so little used to such great exertion that
it died the following morning. For his
very aealous conduct on this occasion,
Lieut. Staines received Nelson's personal
thanks. He soon after became third
Lieutenant of his Lordship's fleg-ship,
the Foodroyant 80, and was ever after-
wards kindly noticed by the great naval
hero. In the Foudroyant, Lieut. Staines
assisted at the capture of two French
Rear-Admirals, Perr^ and Decr^s, Feb.
18 and March 30, 1800.
After Nelson's departure from Leg-
horn for England, June 1800, the Fou-
droyant received the flag of Lord Keith,
under whom Lieut. Staines served as
signal officer during the whole of the
Egyptian campaign. The superior me*
dal of the Turkish order of the Crescent
(or more properly speaking, of the Star
ami Crescent) was presented to him for
hia services at that memorable period.
On the 3d l>ec. 1801, Lieut. Staines
was appointed to act as Commander of
the Romulus troop-ship, during the ill-
ness of Capt. John Culverhouse ; and io
her we find him employed conveying a
detachment of the 54ih regiment from
Alexandria to Malta, where he rejoined
the Foudroyant, Jan. Of 180S.
On the I5th May following, Lieut.
Staines was promoted by Lord Keith
into the Cameleon brig ; and during the
remainder of the short peace. Captain
Staines was employed keeping op a com-
munication between Malta and Naples;
but immediately on the renewal of hos-
tilities with France, he entered upon a
series of services much more congenial
to his enterprising spirit.
On the 5Kth June, 1803, the Cameleon

Obituary. — H^Uiam Pearson, Etq.
[Sept.
nkanry Cavalry, and brother to tbe Rer.
Edward Pearson, D.D. lata Matter of
Sidney Sutiex CoUefe, CarobridKe, a
lexrned, piout, and exemplary diTinr.
Mr. Pearson was distinguished for those
essential qualitiri which adorn the cha-
racter of mtn, and which deservedly
conciliate tbe esteem of friends, neigh-
bours, and acquaintance. A kindness of
disposition and an urbanity of manners
formed so prominent a feature in all hit
thoughts and actions, as not only to
mollify and control the harshness of
hit professional duties, hut to make even
these subservient to the claims of friend-
ship and benevolence. Throughout life,
his integrity was unimpeached, his sen-
timents liberal and enlarged, bis social
qualities attractive, his love for litera-
ture and the fine arts refined, and his
attachment to the cause of liberty, both
civil and religious, firm and consistent.
The virtues and excellencies of this ami-
able man are thus feelingly and accu-
rately pourtrayed in the following beau-
tiful sonnet, from the }>en of the " Bard
of Woodbridge : "
««To W. P.
If genuine love of freedom, testified
Alike by words and deeds; if sterling
sense.
Pure taste, directed by intelligence.
And candidly to liberal arts applied ;
Jf, with such high acquirements, be allied
A heart replete with true benevolence;
Who will assert I have not just pretence
To call their owner " friend'^ with ho-
nest pride? [stniiii'd
None would dispute it, might I, unre-
By scruples, which but add redoubled
strength [length.
To. all I feel, inscribe my name at
Cust what it will, that cherish'd name
shall be [not by me.
Honoured, rever'd, and lov'd, but alter'd

Of %U VoliiV^ md GoUkm Book of Genoa.
[Oet.
as the extinction of Patrician families
iu all countries seems much more npid
than that of Plebeian houses; and in
Genoa, no less than S56 noble families
had become extinct between the years
1528 and l634 ; nor has the rarage of
time been discontinued since thai pe-
riod. The D'Oria name is now re-
doced to few persons, and thoie not in
Genoa ; and the Grimaldi name waits
only for the decease of the present
Marquess Luigi Grimaldi, to become
extinct in Genoa, Indeed the rapid
extinction of our own noble families
in England (the number having been
above 100 in the rt\ffn of George III.)t
shows thst the majority of them are
not destined to have a descent, either
numerous or of long duration.
These remarks must not be construed
to extend to that feudal nobility who
derive titles from possession of land ;
since it is evident there can be no ex-
tinction of such dignities, and for want
of proper officers to investigate and re-
cord such titles, it often happens that
families continue the use of them after
they have sold the fief conferring the
title, and aAer it has been assumed by
the new purchaser ;* and the purchase
of a fief, even with the clause of re-
demption, confers the title appendant
to such fief. But the old noble fa-
milies of France, Italy, and Germany,
do not consider the owners of titles de-
rived from feuds or land fiefs, or even
new creations of personal nobility, as
entitled (generally speaking) to a rank
or consideration \n any degree similar
to what is claimed by the old nobility ;
and the public opinion coincides tn
this estimate, by treating the one with
deference, and the other with indif-
ference. At Vienna, Rome, and Turin
(the seats of the Courts), the old Nobi-
lity hold little (if any) intercourse with
the new Nobles.
It has been already remarked that
the four great families of Genoa are
the D'Orias, the Griroaldis, the Spi«
nolas, and the Fieschi. It is remark-
able that the last of these families
should have sought refuge long since
in France, and that branches of the
* Shice writ'iog tbis lentence, the news-
papcrt have mentioned that the Roman no-
bility, after the fiill of Prince Polienac, de-
tired the Book of Fiefs of the Church of
Rooie to be tearched, to see by what riglit
hs vsed the title of Prince, though his right
mu atver questioDed during his prosperity.
first three should have sought an asyhim
ill England. Of the D'Orias,— D^Oria:
Marquess of Spineto has for some years
resided at Cambridge, and has two
sons at that University ; Andrew Adair
D'Oria, of Trinity Hall, and Sannel
D'Oria, of St. John's College.
As to the Grimaldis— on the death
•f the present Marqnesa Loigi Gri-
maldi of Genoa, the only members of
that femily wil) be the descendants of
Alexander Grimaldi, who waa bap-
tiied at St. Luke*s, Genra, Jane idsg^
son of Joseph, inscribed in the Golden
Book in 1669^ and who settled in Lon-
don, soon after the destruction of his
native city by Lonis XiV. in l685.
He was buried at St. Pfeincras, Middle-
sex, June 2, 1792', and left two sons
and two daughters, from the eldest of
which sons, Alexander, bom in Eng-
land (London?), Nov. 2, 1714, and
married at the Fleet, March 12, 1745-6,
to Miss Mary Barton, there are de-
scendants, of whom a short account ap-
peared in this Magazine for June 1830.
And lastly, as to the Spinolas: —
Paul Baptist Spinola, haying been
created Knight of the Garter (see Gent.
Mas. for April 182g), settled in Eng-
land, leaving among his heirs Ediiiond,
Dean of Winton, who suffered death
for his religion under Queen Eliza-
beth ;t and Emanuel Spinola, son of
Nicholas, who became so celebrated a
Canon of the Church of Chichester,
that Benedict XH. created him Arch-
bishop of Monreale in Sicily, at the
age of 28 yean. It may be added,
that the Pailavicrni, another of the
twenty-eight Alberghi, also settled in
Ensland, and intermarried frequently
with the Protector Cromweirs ramily.
Sir Horatio Pallavicini was knighted
by Queen Elizabeth in 1587. Sir
Henry his son married Jane Cromwell,
and died in l6l5 ; another son married
Catherine Cromwell. Sir Horatio's
daughter was married to Henry Crom-
well, Esq. son of Sir Oliver; and Sir
Peter Pallavicini was knighted by
James II. at Windsor, in 1687*
The antiguity of the existing Nobi-
lity of the Genoese has no parallel in
this country. In the earliest of the
public records of the Republic, and
which commence about the year 1100
(a few years after our matchless record

recognized only the male line, and of
which we hare an eridence in the
kwi of France to this day.^ Those
conTersant with the ancient history of
that country need not be informed
that the territories of modern France
combine a number of the Gaulish
states with the Celtic of Armorica, or
Lower Brittany. This digression may
be requisite, to show that whether
these remains, or any others that may
be discovered hereafter so invested in
garments of hair, should prove to be
those of male or female, will in no
manner discountenance my first ap-
proximation.
Perhaps in venturing so far into the
retrospect of the ancient history of the
laud of Britain, my remarks may have
awakened some attention. I hope they
have ; and that it will hence become
obvious that there are other historians
of this country that deserve considera*
tion, as well as those whose names
are more familiar, and that the testi-
mony of those least known may best
assist us in the research to which our
attention is now directed. My atten-
tion so far has been confined chiefly to
the customs of ancient Ireland, and I
wish now to add that the testimony of
the ancient historic evidences of the
Cambro* Britons, prove that the cus-
toms and laws of these people bore a
striking analogy with those of ancient
Ireland. Nor will this similitude ap-
pear remarkable, when it is remem-
oered that the dynasty of Irish princes
had at an early period filled the throne
of sovereignty among the states of Bri-
tain. It was this line of princes that
Save the Britons their immorial Cara-
oc, better known as the Caractacus
of Livy; and the Gael-na-Gael of
Albanac, or ancient Scotland, which
the Romans have so adroitly neutra-
lized from the Gaelic language into
Galgalus.
We now approach a point which I
conceive may lend in a great measure,
if not entirely, to elucidate the mystery
under contemplation. We read in
those remains of ancient British his-
tory, the Triads, of a powerful prince of
the Britons named Rhita-Gawr, who
is ranked as one of the three opposers
of tyranny, that is, of the wrong do-
ings of petty tyrants, over whom, as
supreme chief, he held the balance of
power in Britain, like the Erimoun of
Ireland : nor does it appear to be alto-
geiber improbable that he might be
himself of the race of Ireland, whom'
the Britons had chosen for the pur-*
pose of subduing rebellion among the
native princes. Of Rhita-Gawr it it
recorded that he had reduced a num-
ber of these princes to the rank of
slavery, and having cut off their beards
as a mark of degradation, ordered a
vestment to be made of the hair, and
which robe he wore as a trophy of his
victories over them during life, and
might possibly have been buried
therein.
I f these remarks should tend to ex-
Clain the mystery of the discovery of a
ody so enveloped in vestments com-
posed of hair, I would further add,
that the mode of sepulture among the
I rish, as with the Britons, varied accord-
ing to the circumstances of their death.
The warrior who fell in battle, if his
party remained masters of the field,
was most commonly interred npon the
spot, and " the stone raised over him,'*
i. e. the cromlech ; or if the warrior
fell in an un propitious contest with
unsullied honour, his body was gene-
rally ransomed from the victors, and
deposited by his friends in some other
place. There are instances on record
of the body of a favourite chr^f or war-
rior having been ransomed for its
weight in gold, and thus acouirinf the
epithet of a "golden corpse. This re-
lates, 80 far as our information goes,
to the Cambro- Britons, but it was
probably the same with the Irish;
Among the monarchs of Ireland, we
have an instance of one at an early
period, who had died upon his bed
covered with an outstretched skin of a
marine animal that had been caught
in the contiguous sea, and which I
conceive to be a kind of seal. He
died from the ill effects of the damp
of the skin, and being sewn up in the
skin, was interred therein. This in-
terment of the body in the hairy skin
of an animal of the seal tribe, would
not be very different from that in vest-
ments of hair. The whole collectively
considered, seems to lead to a conclu-
sion that these mortal remains which
we have been considering, are those
of a human being who had either
fallen accidentally into the moss, or
who had far more probably been in-
terred therein; if the moss were not
of more recent formation, and which
to me appears to be the most plausible
conjecture of either. The vestments
composed of hair may further lead to
'eulalion of Ir'uh Halfpence.— TtueiiaUd Pavementi.

wia addoced, at a proof among other eri-
danoa of Cbelr being thus conamonly used in
this ommtnr ap to the Uth century. From
thb Mr. O. took oceaaioo to rappoaa that
H waa not improbable, during the cuttom of

with the teweUatad pavement, b might have
buome the pmctioe aUo of adoninflf^ in tha
aama manner,- the dwellings of partieular of
diatingubhad individuals ; which hypothesis
would account m a setisfactory way for the
number of the remeins of these pevementf
continually being discovered in so many and
each widely different parts of this country.
Thoagh toe Romans undoubtedly intrb-
dticcd the arc Into England, yet it is noi
certain that they took it away with them, —
that tha Briinh and Saxons diid not perpe-
foata it here, or at least keep up the use of
those pavements already oflnstrueted, as
wall aa in succeeding times, derive the euf-
torn afresh, though in a limited degree,
from its introduetion into churches, &c. If
so, the numerous floors of Mosaic work
almoei daily discovered, have not been so
lomr in disuse as is generally imagined."
So far as I recollect, the accounts
we have of the variety and number of
these pavements found in England,
almost universally refer the latest use
made of them to the period during
vrhich the Romans occupied Britain,
or at most but for a short time after-
wards. If I am not mistaken, most of
the descriptions of them inserted in the
Archseologia, and furnished of course
bv members of the Antiquarian So-
ciety, entirely pass over the inquiry as
to when these pavements were last in
usage in this country or on the Conti-
nent, or that they were so at all sub*
sequcntJy to the time above speeified,
beyond the common notion of their
being laid or used in public and sacred
edifices. F.A.S.

pre-
last nuotber ic wai our painful duly lo
RCOid the death of this worthy indivi-
dual : we must now be allowed lo di-
late on hii mcril* a» a printer some-
what at large.
This cetebraled typographer was a
tiBiiTc of Newcaslk on Tyne, where
he was apptenliced lo Mr. Tliompson,
in the Btitnt House Entry, St. Nicho-
l*>' Church-yard, froin whom he re-
ceived the dtsl rudimeoit of \iU art.
During hii appreniicejhrp he form-
ed a friendihip vTJlh Thomas Bewick,
the celebrated engraver on wood, which
lasted wilh great cordinlity throughout
life. It wa* iheif praclice whilst youihi
10 Tiiit together ctery morning a fatm-
liouteal Elslvick, a small village about
(wo oiilcs ffom Newcastle, and in-
dulge in Goody Coxen's hot rye-cake
and btitlcr-milk, who used to prejiate
these dainiid Tor such of the New-
castle youLb* who were inclined lo en-
joy an eailv moiaing walk before the
tiusiness orihe day commeuced.
During the period of the joint ap-
prenticestiips of these yoong aspirants
for fame, Bulroer inirariably toot
off the Ertt impmsions of Bewick's
tlockt,Bthi5 master's priniing-cffice at
Newcastle, where Bulmer printed the
engraving of the Himtsman and Old
Hound, which obtained for Bewick
ihe premium from the Society of Arts
In London. Mr. Bulmer afterwards
■uggnted to his friend Bewick an im-
protenenl, of which he availed him-
(elf, of towering the surface* of the
blocks where the distance or lighter
parts of ibe engraving were to be
shown to perfection.
When Mr. Bulmer first came lo
LondoD, his senicea were engaged by
Mr. John Bell, who was then pub-
lishing his beautiful minialuie editions
vfttw Poets, Shakspeare, &c. About
1787, an aecideniol circumstance in-
iroduced Mr. Bulmer to ihe late Geo.
NIcol, ewj. bookseller to King George
ill. who was then considering the
best method of carrying into effect the
projected oiignificent national edition
of Shakspeare, which he had suggested
GtKT. Mto. Octotrr, IBSn.

to Messrs. Boydell, ornatnenled with
designs by the hnl ariisis of this coun-
try. Mr. Nicol had previously en-
ga^ the skilful talenla of Mr. Win,
Mariio, of Birmingham, in cutting sets
of lypes, after approved models, in imi-
tation of the sliatp and fine letter used
by the French and Italian printers;
which Mr. Nicol for a length of lime
caused to be carried on in his owo
Premises were then engaged in
Clcvelnnd-row, St. James's, and ihe
"Shakspeire Press'' was eslab!i:hed
under the firm of '• W. Bulmer and
Co." This establishment soon evinced
how judicious a choice Mr. Nicol had
made in Mr.Bulmer to raise the repu-
taiiop of his favourite project.
"This magnificeni edition (says
Dr. Dibdin), which Is worthy of the
unrivalled compoiitinns of our great
Dramatic Bard, will remain as long
as those compoiitions shall be admired,
en honourable testimony of the taste
and skill of ihe individuals wbo plan-
ned and conducted it to its completion.
Tlie text was revised by G. Steeveus
and Isaac Iteed. Mr. Bulmer possess-
ed the proof sheets of the whole work,
on which are many curious remarks by
Stecvcns, not always of the most cour-
teous description i also some original
ionnels, a scene for a burlesque tra-
gedy, some graphic sketdies, Sec."
•'The establishment of the Shak-
speare Pren (continues Dr. Uibdin),
was unqueationably an honour both to
the founders in particular, and to the
public at large. Our greatest poet, our
gicatesl Daioter, and two of our most
respectable publishers and piiutert,
were all embarked in one common
cause ; were generally and jointly aaial-
gamaled, as it were, in one common
white-hot crucible; from which issued
so pure and brilliant a Raine or fusion,
that it gladdened all eyes and hearts,
and ibrew a new and revivifying lustre
on the threefold arts ofoainting, en-
graving, and printing. The nation ap-
peared 10 be not less struck than asto-
nished ; and our venerable Monarch
George the Third, felt anxious not only
to give such a magniiicent establish-
ment every degree of royal support,
but, infected with the matrix and
puncheon mania, he had even con-
templated the crealion of a royal print-
ing oiBce within the wall* or bis own
palace !"

One of his Majfity'i principal hopes
and wishes was, for his own coaniry
to rival the celebrity of Parma in the
productions of Boduni ; and Dr. Dib-
ain pleasantly alludes to what he calls
the Bodoni Hum, — of "his Majesty
being completely and joyfully taken in,
by bestowing upon the efforts of Mr.
Bulmer*8 press, that eulogy which he
had supposed was due exclusively to
Bodoni^."
The first number of the Shakspeare
appeared in January 179 1 > ^^^ ^^ ^^^^
established Mr. Bulmer's fame as the
first practical printer of the day.
Dr. Dibdin has ^iren (Bibliogra-
phical Decameron, ii. 384 — 395,) a
corious and copious list of the " Books
printed at the Shakspeare Press," with
judicious remarks, to which we must
refer our readers ; contenting ourselves
with noticing some of the articles,
chiefly those not printed for general
sale.
1. Auli Penii Placet Satyr a, with
Brewster's translation, 179O, 4io. This
we believe to be the first publication
of Mr. Bulmer*s press. It never was
published.
2. The Shakspeare, 9 vols, folio,
1791 — 1S05, before noticed.
3. Contemplatio PhUosophica, a post-
humous work of the late Brook Tay-
lor, with his Life, by his relative the
late Sir W. Young, Bart. 1793, 8vo,
privately printed.
4. Ciaudiani Opera, 1793—6. small
8vo, never published. One copy on
VELLUM.
6. Next to the Shakspeare, perhaps
the Edition of The Poetical fVorkt of
John Milton, in 3 vols, folio, 1793 —
1797, is the finest production of Mr.
Bnlmer*s press. Dr. Dibdin seems to
prefer this work even to the Shak-
speare itself.
d. In 1795 Mr. Buhner printed a
beautiful edition in 4to. of the " Poems
of Goldsmith and Parncll,*' one copy
on WHITE SATIN, and three on vel-
lum. The volume is dedicated to the
Founders of the Shakspeare Printing-
Office, Messrs. BoydeUs and Nicol.
•'The present volume," says Mr. Bul-
mcr, in his Advertisement, " in addi-
tion to the Shakspeare, the Milton,
and many other valuable works of
elegance, which have alreadv been
Sivcn to the world, through the me-
ium of the Shakspeare Press, are [is]
jMiriicubily meant to combine the va-
[Oct.
rious beauties of Printing, Tyfb-
FouNDiNo, Engraving, and Paper-
making ; as well with a view to ascer-
tain ihe near approach to perfection
which ihdse arts have attained in this
country, as to invite a fiiir competition
with the best Typographical produc-
tions of other nations. How far the
different artists, who have contributed
their exertions to this great object,
have succeeded in the attempt, the
public will now be fully able to judge.
Much pains have been bestowed on
the present publication, to render it a
complete Specimen of the Arts of
Type and Block-printing.
•• The whole of the Types with
which this work has been printed, are
executed by Mr. William Martin, in
the house of my friend Mr. George
Nicol, whose unceasing endeavours to
improve the Art of Printing, and iu
relative branches, are too well known
to require any thins to be said on the
present occasion ; he has particularly
patronized Mr. Martin, a very inge-
nious young Artist, who has resided
with him seven years, and who is at
this time forming a Foundery, by which
he will shortly be enabled to offer to
the world a Specimen of Types, that
will in a very eminent degree unite
utility, elegance, and beautv.*
** The ornaments are all engraved
on blocks of wood, by two of my
earliest acouaintances, Messrs. Be-
wickSft of Newcastle-upon-Tvne and
London, after designs from the most
interesting passages of the Poems they
embellish. They have been executed
with great care, and I may venture to
say, without being supposed to be in-
fluenced by ancient friendship, that
they form the most extraordinary effort
of the art of engraving upon wood,
that ever was produced in any age, or
* William Martin was brother of Robert
Martin, the apprentice of Baskerville. He
afterwards let up a foundry in Duke-street,
St. James's. His Roman and Italic tjnes
were decided imitations of Baskenrille't ; but
his Greeks and Orientals formed the most
valuable part of his collection. His foundry
in 1817 was united to the Casloo. (Han'
Mird*s Typographia, p. 360.) This ingenious
letter-fouoder died in the summer of 1815»
and was buried in St. James's Church,

literally be considered as the last effort*
of ibis in^cenious and much-io-bc-la-

possrsaed. In the Shakspeare, which
was nine years ia hand, the same bar-

prevail, a* if the ink had been ail

the aid of good and congenial quilily in

have depended on, and heeo eflecied
by the two last named requisites, is
very apparent, from his being able lo
produce the same effect In ink ofano-
iher colour, n.iitiety red."
After continuing in businejg with
the highest credil fur aboni 30 years,
Mr. Bulmer retired in I9\g. with a
welleanied fortune, lo a gcnleel resi-
dence at Cbpham Rise, and was suc-
ceeded ai the Shaksprare Press by his

f. Sulmer's fiTai friend, ihe late G.
Nicol, Esq. Mr. Nicol, in his Ociv-
alot folio edition of Virgil, edited by
W.Soiheby, Esq. has proved himself
a most diligent and able successor;
while, in piiblicalions of smaller di-
mensions, such as Major's edtiions of
Wallon's Angler and Lives, he has
not been lets eminently successful.
But whilst we have jually placed Mr.
Bulmer in the first rank of his profes-
sion, let UB not rar|j;et that he had equal
claims to distinction among those
whose memory is revered fo( iheir
many private and domestic virtuet.
We may ilien imly say, thai his art has
been deprived of one of its brightest
ornainrnis, and hi) friends have to
lament the loss of one nni easily lui-
putscd in every moral encellence.

Walk through the Highlands.
(Continu^/rom p. lOQ.)
AT ten o'clock in the morning we
left Ulva.* Both our host and
boslesa accompanied us to the door,
and we parted from them much sa-
tisfied with the attentions we had
received under their roof.
The day was extremely fine, and
the road though somewhat roush, yet
far from being unpleasant* While in
irnne little doubt about our way, we
were fortunately joined by a good
*' auld wife/' who very desirous or en-
tering into conversation, said she was
traTelitng for some disunoe on our
road, and wonld direct us. From her
oa well as from every one else to whom
we mentioned his name, we had on
•soellent aceount of the L^ird of Stafia,
M well as of his lady, whom she repre-
sented to us as eqiully charitable with
himself,»-equally solicitous on all oc-
casions to do good. StafFa, it appeared,
had been much interested about the
instruction of his poor islanders, and
had instituted schools for their advance-
ment in useful learning. The old wo-
man spoke of the Laind and his family
with much affection, and we were
pleased at the artless and apparently
sincere expression of her gratitude.
She informed us that she liked much
to talk with us, for the sake of improv-
ing herself in our language. Like all
the Highlanders, she was perfectly con-
scious of speaking it with a much bet-
ter accent than those of the Low
Country; and this idea gave her no
little satisfaction. We put some ques-
tions to her relative to emigration. She
informed us that great numbers had
gone off from her village some years
ago, but none lately. Indeed we never
heard of any actual departures, or even
projected expeditions, during our whole
toor through the Highlands; and this
circumstance would seem to prove sa-
tisfactorily that the condition of the
poorer inhabitants of these remote re-
gions had, within these few years, been

Moll, and thire of Argjla.
much ameliomted, or that those who
had tried the experiment of remoiviil,
had failed to observe their hopes real-
ized in foreign and not less inhoapita-
ble shores. We now for the first lime
in our tour, felt it extremely hot. The
flies too were very troublesome, though
we were passing close to the sea-shore
on an elevated situation, and open to
the breese. From this point we had
our last view of Staffa, now surrounded
by a sea calm and placid as it IumI yet-
terday been rough and boisterous. Be-
sides Staffa, we enjoyed an excellent
prospect of Collonsay, Dutchman's
Cape, and several other islands, the
appearance of which in a rippling sea,
and under an azure sky, was highly
exhilarating. Several vessels in mo-
tion, their sails swelled by the wind,
added to the cheerfulness of the scene,
which we had an opportunity of coo*
templating for a considerable distance
with the greatest satisfaction.
According to the expression of oor
HighUnders, this was *' agrandday" in-
deed, yet we experienced considerable
(atisue, and had occasion to observe
with how much less alacrity we por«
sued oor march, after having only oaU
cake instead of wheaten bread for
breakfast, and we began to grumble at
the horrible Moll miles. The hills
too were steepish, yet the road hitherto
was tolerably good. At length we found
ourselves uncertain of our course, on
a bleak and trackless moor. We tried
two or three apparently sheep wallcs
without any satisfaction, and at last
abandoned ourselves nearly to the di-
rection of chance. We arrived at one
of the hills of this well-named gloom
of desolation, down whose steep sidei
we wound in an oblique direction, and
crossed a ford which lay beneath us.
From this spot we had a view of a
farm house, which gave us consider-
able relief, and towards which we di-
rected our steps. Heuce, after much
fatigue, we arrived at a rude bridge at
the nead of a loch, and finally reached
Ballacray, at four. Here we rested
and refreshed, after which we proceed-
ed and marched into Tobermory about
eight, without having encountered one
single drop of rain ! The principal
inn is built on a very respectable quay,
lately erected at a considerable ex-
pense, for the use as well as ornament
of this remote harbour. On our expe-
dition to Staffa, one of the boatmen

they were addreued. A* looii as the
weather permitted, which was not litl

mucli civility, procured tis ■ boat, and
having kindly furnished us with let-

citers, but gelling on belter ihan we
expected, and ihe evening again be-
coniinj; fine, we pasted prciiy quickly
by Iheir houses, and arriied at Sale ni
at eight. Here there was only a mi-
lerable hovel by way of inn, so that,
late as it wai, and ihou^h we had a
long walk before us, we determined lo
jirocced lo Stroniian at all haurds.
The road, as it had been described to
us, was extremely good, ple.isani, and
romantic. We now passed close by
'*- ->ide of the Loch, through flourish-
ing and vcr» extensive pi;
now lost sight of it for a lime, and ap-
peared lo strike deeper into the woods.
Speedily ihe Loch reappeared, and
served very much to cheer us on our
way. After the firti six miles, It be-
came misty and dark, and the road ra-
ther inlticale. We came to two paths,

whether (o go onwaids or retreat to

illasi, which was forlu- on the lailer, but without finding it
practicable; returned to ihe quarry,
and finally discovered soraeihing like
a track. Here It began to rain. We
were totally ignoninl of our way, the
night wearing apace; and we began lo

iDOBt pleaaing at well at magnificeDt
prospectt that can well be conceived.
Immediately before ut wat a mott
tremendout precipice, down which
oar guide hurled huge mattet of rock,
which in their fall bounding from one
jirojecting part of the mountain to an-
other, and carrying with them variout
other broken poriiont in their course,
iMpt crashing and retounding into ihe
febyss below. We advanced cautioutly
-to the very edg^ of thit precipice, and
-bcadt not in general disposed to be
giddy^ on this occasion could scarcely
mroid feeling tomethin^n of disquietude.
Nearly on the oppotite tide of thit
abytt, the mountain exhibited an ap*
Mrance which I thought very ttrix-
ing. lu ridge, of eontiderable evtent,
wat very tbarp, in tome measure re-
eembling the roof of a house. Its sides
were variegated, striped with red and
Ssen ahernately, a phenomenon pro-
bly attributaBle to the resistless vio-
lence of the winter torrents. On this
hill the sun was now shining partially,
and its rays imparted new lustre to
that which had before been remark-
able for the vividness of its colouring.
The scene we thought extremely bcau-
lifiil> and gazed upon it for tome time
with the greatest admiration. We now
advanced, and took a view of the pre-
cipice in another, and stilt more fright-
ful aituation. At this point we had a
nearer view of the perpetual snow,
never ceasing to line the sides of this
chasm. We were indeed close upon
it» but were cautioned by the guide
not to advance too far. Its surface was
iirm, icy, and crisp, yet we were not
altogether without fear of its suddenly
giving wa]r, and hurrying us along
4vith It in its descent. Some of it we
collected in our hands, and its icy
coldness wat highly agreeable to our
paiatei. At this moment the blue
mitt was rolling far beneath us in
gently undulating wreaths, the clouds
felternately retreatcfd and advanced, and
the whole aceoc, momentarilv chang-
ing, teemed aliv« ; and now above our
htedi appeared Heaven's bow in all
Hi glovy, and of the most vivid huet.

Mull, of Egg, with others of the Bt^

A SUBSCRIBIB.
Mr. Urbav, Sepi.ll.
AS you have given admission to the
remarks of your correspondent
" X." p. 99. on " Clerical Farmers,*'
and thereby encouraged him to pro-
ceed with his threatened lucubrations,
you will admit, I trust, a few observa-
tions suggested by the perusal of his
first perlurmance.
The writer deplores the passing of '* a
legislative Act encouraging the Clergy
to oecome farmers, the effects of which,
he observes, are too apparent not to
demand notice, and to excuse animad-
versions." Now I contend that the
" effeciit* as described by your Corre-
spondent, are altogether unreal and
imaginary. His |' animadversiona,*' I
admit, are sufficiently apparent. In
the first place, with respect to the ^€i
itself, if we are to judge of the inten-
tions of iu frame rs by the operation of
the Bill, so far from their oontemplat»
ing any encouragement to the Clergy
to become farmers, we must infer ex-
actly the reverse, for the eflect of the
Act is unquestionably to tircumtctihe
the asricultural pursuits of the Clergy,
by affixing a limit to that which before
was unlimited ; vie. the quantity of
land a Clergyman mif;ht thereafter oc-
cupy in addition to his glebe.
I admit that a Clergyman so dis-
posed, might find in the occupations of
eighty aeries of land, added to an average
glebe, sufficient employment .to divert

■lent <M late years, and he will find
diat its advocates have been browbeat,

eheercd, supported, and eulogized on
•II occasions. The late inroad which

WHEN we consider the iiiestima-
ble treasures reposited in Clas-
aieal Literature, whicn is as it were
^* an everlasting possession'* for all ages,
but from the use of which the uniti-
•ted in ancient lore would seem to be
efiectoally excluded, it is no wonder
•that verv aeon after that ever-memora-
ble revival of Literature which was
brought about by a return to the study
of the pure modek of ancient Litera-
ture (so long neglected in monkish
and barbarous age»), measures should
have been early adopted for procuring
to those whom want of a learned edn*
cation, or neglect of their early acqni-
Mods, hdi excluded from its use, some
sort of participation in its advantages.
The first attempts at vernacular prote
(ramlaHoni (for of those only it is our
present purpose to treat), botJi in our
own and in other countries, were, as
might be imagined, of a rude kind,
davishl^ literal, without attaining to
the praite of fidelity, and rugged and
quaint even b^ond their age; espe-
cially since, unfortunately, this sort of
literary labour had been generally com-
mittea to very inferior hands. Hence
it is not surprising that translations
from the Classics should have become
a bye-word to the learned, and a butt
to the witty, who doubtless iutended
the bitter taunts thrown out on Hol-
land—one of the riuost painstaking of
translators, in the well-known epigram^
^' Phtlcmoo with transUtioiif does so AH
He will not left Snetonius beTnoqnilliH,"
to extend to the whole fraternity.
Such was the state of this depart-
ment of Literature during the l6th,
17th, and nearly half of the 18th
century; when at length it came to
be perceived that this was not the true
way of enriching modern Literature
from ancient, since such imperfect
productions as those just adverted to
were little adapted to the use of anjf

for Twining's Arisloile and Spclman '■
Xennphon have been hitherto almost
lhe only ones which in point of extent,

Um eara of Um poblio wel&re, and throw
blame both od me, who eouotelledt and oo
jouneket, who, iointlj with ne» decreed
the war. Naj, what is more, your anger it
dire«:ted agMnit me» who conceive myself
Inferior to none of yoa, whether in know-
ing what is expedieut to be done, or in ex-
pressing my conceptions in words ; a lov^,
too, of my conntry, and superior to base
lacre. For he who hath knowledge indeed, but
cannot eommunicate it, is in the same condi-
tion as one who never had the conceptions ;
and he who possesses both those qualities,
bat is ill-affected to the state, can never im-
part as salutary counsel as one who is tcvtf-
affected j and he who is so too, will yet, if
a slave to corruption, set every thing to sale
to gratify cne base passion So that if, as
supposing me to possess those qualities even
in a tolerable degree, or more than other
men, you were induced by me to undertake
the war, it is not just tliat I should now
bear the charge of having done von wrong.
** Now as for those who have a free
choice of action, and are in possession of all
other objects of their reasonable wishes, it
were arrant folly in them to go to war ; but
if they must, of necessity, either give way,
and so at once become subject to their
neighbours, or else must encounter hazards,
in order to their preservation — why then he
who declinet the danger is more blamable
than he who boldly yacr« it. I, for my
part, continue the very same I was — roy
sentiments are unaltered. But you, how
changed are you! and why ? Because when
you followed 'roy couusels, you were un-
touched by suffering; but now, when you
ftel the pinch of adversity, you change your
views, and in the weakness of your own re-
solves, you question the rectitude of my
counsel ; and that because the attendant ills
now occupy tbe feelings of each of you,
while the advantages thence resulting are as
yet to all remote and unseen. The reverse,
too, which has befallen you, being both
inreat and sudden, you possess not sufficient
firmness of mind to persevere in your pre-
vious resolves. For what is sudden and un-
expected, and happens beyond all calcula-
tion, is enough to weich down the mind
and enslave the spirit. Now this has been
your case, both in other matters, and espe-
cially in that of the pestilence. And yet
highly does it behove you, who are citizens
of a powerful state, and trained up iu man-
ners and habits correspondent thereto, to
be prepared to endure the must trying af-
flictions, and not obscure your reputation.
For the world equally censures him who
pusillaniraously &lls short of the glory al-
setdy acquired, as it reprobates him who
impudently arrogates to himself what is not
his. Ceasing, then, to grieve over your
private losses, apply yourselves to promote
the common weal.
*'As to tbe bhoun ofthi war, that they
may be heavir, tad yet not bring «
to success, let what I have aaM on other
occasions, suffice to prove tliat to be an er-
roneous notion. Tl»ere is, liowevar, this
one remark which I would make, touching
your means (or the attainment of empire,
which neither yourselves seem to tiave re-
flected on, nor have I mentioned in my
former addresses ; nor, indeed, should now
luive introduced a topic involving somewhit
of boastful sod arrogant claim, had I not
perceived you unreasonably and caueelesaly
alarmed. You think that yoor dominion
extends only as far as your own sabject al*
lies ; but I affirm, that of the two parts into
which the world is dutriboted for use (the
land, and the sea), the one you art entirely
masters of, as far at you have clioten to oc-
cupy it, and may be as much fiirtlier at jou
please to extend your sway. Nor it tliere
any one, whether king or ttate, now exist-
ing, tlutt can hinder you, with the naval
force which you now send to sea. So that
this power plainly depends not on the occu-
pation of your villas and estates (of whidi
you think it much to be deprived), and
therefore it is unreasonable for you to im-
patiently to bear their loss. You ought
rather to set lightly by them, regarding
them merely as the trim decoraUons and
embelUshments of wealth and power, and to
know th$i freedom (if we hold fast and pre-
serve that) will easily recover such triflet i
whereas, in the case of those who crouch to
others, whatever they may yet acquire is
wont to be lessened. Let us, then, show
ourselves not inferior, in either of these two
respects, to our fore&thers, who by toil,
and not by inheritance, acquired these pos-
sessions—having, moreover, retained and
handed them down to us. Consider how
much more disgraceful it is to be deprived
of what we already possess, than to nil in
acquiring it ; and go forth to encounter
your foes not with sulrlt only, but with
disdain ; for boastful alertness, which arises
firom lucky ignorance, msy have place even
in the bosom of a coward : but this dignified
disdain is found only in him who (as in our
case) may feel confident that he is superior
to his enemy, even in counsel as well as
cnrobat ; for prudence, when thus high-
souled (even supposing fortune equal], ge-
nerates a courage more to be relied on;
since we thus trust less to hope (whose
power is chiefly conversant with straits and
difficulties) than to judgment and counsel,
from a consideration of existing circum-
stances, of which the forecast is surer.
*' That dignity, too, accruing to the
state from dominion (of which you all are
proud), it is right that you should sustain,
and either not decline the toils of empire,
or not affect the honours attached to them.
Reflect, too, that you are not contending
with the alternative alone of liberty or servi-
tude, but tha^^ou i'i«k not merely a deprive-

to saffer from the Hieronymtan ver-
sion. An inconvenience, however,
arose, namely, that this system of ex-
terminating would leave no Greek au-
thority at oil. Wetsten himself seem-
ed to ue sensible of it. On E. init. he
says, " Si jure querimur Codices Ve-
tustissimos ex versione Itala fuisse in-
terpolatos, ut inde ad stabiliendam ve-
ra m lectionem pa rum auxilii peti pos-
sit, multo magis dolendum est, non
tantum nullos xquales, sed ne quidem
intervallo unius, duorum, imo trium
seculorum proximos, ex quibus hoc
damnum sarciretur hactenus repertos
fuisse.*' And the infection did not
rest here ; it reached the Greek fathers
also. Wets. ii. 154, on 1 Cor. xii. S7.
"Suspicor tamen loca Patrum Groeco-
rum, ab editoribus ad Latinam ver-
sioneni accommodau fuisse.'* The
evil then cured itself: in these cir-
cumstances it became at last apparent
that it was possible for the version to
have been made from MSS. of the ori-
ginal, the readings of which are still
preserved ; instead of the Greek MSS.
oeing made from the version. We are
told (Michaelis, ii. 640, note 1,) that
this was the discovery of the immortal
Semler: it roust have been made,
however, after he had written note 40
ID his edit of Wets. Prol. He has
"shown the invalidity of the commonly
received opinion [that the Latin must
have caused all the peculiarities of the
Western recensions, whether in Eu-
rope or in Africa,] and introduced a
system of criticism that has been
adopted by every critic in Europe.**
Mich. ii. 079, note 88. And with re-
spect to the falsely accused codices
Grseco-Latini, as Michaelis calls them
(ii. 271), Graecizing of the Latin is
now the accusation, instead of the Lati*
nizing of the Greek. Michaelis hav-
ing sung his palinodia, says, ii. 1()8,
" It ap|)ears from most of them that
the Latin version has been altered from
the Greek text of the copy, to which
it has been annexed.** And Gries-
bach on Acts xx. 28, says, "Praeterea
nullum nostri xvi criticum fabuloe ex-
Close de Grscis codicibus Latinizanti-
us assensum praebiturum esse confi-
da'* Now suppose a prophet could
have informed the " venerable critic,"
that before the close of his labours, he
would adopt the theory, that *' consen-
sus solus — arguit interpolationem e
Latina versione factam** (Ixix. 15), and
talk of a codex Graccus Latinizans,
coald he hare received it otherwite
than with the reply of Hazael, '< But
what, is thv servant a dog, that he
should do this great thing?'* Still ia
Diatribe, p. [4] or 688, he decides, of
the Montfort, that it is " manifesto e
Latina vulgata interpolatus.*' When,
however, " the contemporary advo-
cates for this gross interpolation,"
''examine and weigh Griesbach*s
Diatribe (Dr. Carpenter, v. Magee,
415,) and find his principles of criti-
cism here all sacrificed to the "risus
doctorum et prudentium,'* (xviii. 7,)
let them bear in remembrance, that
it is thrown out of the work in this
edition, and is now ^iven with a diffe-
rent paging, — a notification that it it
not to be considered as a part of the
work itself, which ought to be reli-
giously preserved in the reprint ; as
this aione, " sive ab ipso sive ab adroi-
ratoribus ipsius prolatum legimus, quo
servile excusari posset obseqoium."
(xviii. 7.) Marsh's Letters, to which
Clemens here refers os, explain the
whole.
** Friendship, like love, it bat a name.
Unless to one vou stint the flame."
Appendix IIL p. 277, note 40, shows
us where alt the tender care of the
critics centers. Wetsten's theory is
preserved solely for this favourite:
** The codex Montforiianus, which is
singular in its kind. Latinizes only in
certain places ; and the opinion which
formerly prevailed, that the Codices
Grsco- Latini, and other ancient Greek
MSS. had been altered from the Latin,
has been fully confuted by Semler,
Griesbach, and Woide." Michaelis
also is tolerably explicit u|)on the re-
servation : *' But if we except the
few passages where there is some par-
ticular reason for suspecting a corrupt-
tion, I am of opinion that the charge
is ungrounded.*' (11. 16O.) Mi-
chaelis, however, having been, as I
conceive, struck with such evident
partiality, associates with it the Ra-
vian MS ; which (strange to say) he
himself decides (p. 2g5) to have been
" copied from the Complutensian
Bible.'* At II. 173, speaking of one
of the beautiful theories (or Latinizing,
he says, •• Rut this circumstance can
affect only those MSS. which were
written after the year 1453, and which
in other respects are entitled to no au-
thority ; for instance, the Cod. Mont-
fortianns and Ravianus. Fortunately,

that coald be reauired— and what i$
the case ? The MS. conuint not only
tht» division, but the Gospela, St.
Paul's epistles, and the Revelations
too. Where is the MS. found? In
Dublin ; and it had unquestionably
been brought from England — the very
country from which it must have been
sent to Erasmus, if it waa to deceive
him. This is enough, I think, for
the digestion of any but the Docti et
jPrudentet. But go on to Latinizing.
*' Ars summa est celare artem." What
method then, think you, does the forger
take 10 conceal his hand^ work, and
lleceive such a scholar as Erasmus, who
had been publishing critical editions of
the Greek with a corrected translation?
He is to desert his own MS. where he
had the Greek before him, and is to
give a translation from the Vulgate, in
the preceding verse, where he saw
the Vulgate contradicted his Greek,
Sr giving Christut instead of TfWfta,
e IS to cut off the concluding clause
of the 8th verse, which he had stand*
log before him in his Greek MS. solely
because it is not in the Vulgate : and
all this (if he wrote ** about the year
1690'*) in opposition both to the Greek
and the Latin of Erasmus's editions.
In the disputed verses themselves,
he is to leave out the article three
times before the earthly witnesses, to
K' e a bald translation, because the
tin is without articles: and, what-
ever Wetslen may say to the contrary,
he is to leave out the copulative be-
tween n^R//bia and t)^»p, though it was
both in his own MS. and inlirasmos,
because the Latin as usual gives but
one. And this story psses current —
a happy illustration, 1 think, of " the
march of intellect'' in ** the nine-
teenth century,'* that is cast in- my
teeth, in the Memoir of the Contro-
versy, p. 232. What must the truly
learned and acute men, who have pro-
duced this, have thought of their dis-
ciples? ^* Horum simplicitas misera-
biiis.*' The reader will cease to won-
der that Mr. Porson does not like to
meddle with the " explcsa fabula ;"
and will Latinize only in the contro-
verted passage, and in " Wetsten's
opinion* of the division of chapters (p.
115), on which latter point Semler
will show the reason of tne Professor's
admirable caution, p. 134, note 70.
Whate%-er Mr. Person may say of
Br^ennius (p. 937) > be never thinks of
Baggesting that the scribe of the Mont-
/brt '^ nmufeslly borrows from the
Latin version;*' where he himself mort
held that the man had Greek bchte
his eyes, in his own MS., and in
Erasmus's editions also.
The Docti et Prudentea, howe(rcr»
all agree in making the Montfort !•
Latinise in " Me controverted patsmgeJ*
To prove thia, a vast deal of learning
was displayed heretofore on prepoat*
tions I but at last they seem to have
become ashamed of this : and tboic
*' gigantic eflforts of intellect/' which
as Bishop Middleton tells us (p. 653X
have ettabHtked acquietcence ** in the
rejection of the controverted pasaane/'
are here directed to the article ; they
make the omission of it, tix timea, in
the two verses, as they stand in the
Montfort, fatal to its credit, as being
demonstration of Latin iiing. Wetaten
(ii. 723), having given ihe words of
the MS. says, ** Erasmus, .eodem modo
edidit Edit. 3, nisi quod .... in cdt*

bat.'* *' Non ex aliquo Grasco codice."
" I believe it, against an orade.*'
Hiouffh Mr. Porson is so firmly per*
soadea of Erasmus's not adding any
thing " of his own mere motion** (p.
lOQ), that he is confident, against Eras-
mus's own testimony, of his not having
inserted ayiov after Tvivjuia ; still I
have the firmest faith in Wctsten's
decision. I do believe, against the
oracle, that Erasmus added these three
articles in his 4th edit. *' of his own
mere motion," and '* non ex aliquo
Graeco codice." Wetslen then gives
his decision against the Montfort in
this manner, ** Hie ipse locus ita im-
perite ex Latino conversus est, ut se
statim prodat turn omissione anicnlo-
rum sexies repetita, quia Latini iis ca-
rent, qui bus tamen Grasci carere non
possunt, turn—." Mr. Porson, though
lie holds it so impossible for Erasmus
to have made additions, yet admits
Wetsten's decision of what *' lingus
Grscs indoles requirebat" in the
Montfort ; and declares (IO9 hot.) that
" the omission of the article sir times,
and is sufficient proof that the
Dublin MS. is the Codex Britannicut
of Erasmus." Michaelis (it. 286)
having given the two verses from the
Montfort, says, " here the article is
omitted before the words expressive of

Mr. Urbajt,
FEW traits in the lives of the An-
cients are more remarkable, than
the fact of many of their nxist fa-
mous works being written in an ex-
licme old age. This was pariicularly
.the case with Homer, who in the d^
dine of life, composed his immortal
works. Chrysippus, when a^ed, fi-
nished the willy and profound volume
Jbegun in youth. Simonides» who is
fettiaikable for being the supposed au-
thor of the four Greek letters n, », |« *^
when at the age of eighty, wrote his
elegies, epigrams, dramatical piecesi,
and epic poems. A beautiful fragment
of one of his compositions, entitled
" The Lamentations,** is still extant.
Socrates, at the age of ninety- four,
composed many private papers; and
when in prison before his deuth, made
a poetical version of j£sop*8 fables^
Sophocles, who for the sweetness and
harmony of his periods, was called by
the Ancients •' The Attic Bee," at
the age of ninety finlsiied his famous
tragedy " (Edipus Rex." Cato Cen-
sorius, when upwards of ninety years
of age, defended himself; and accused
the most famous orators in open judg-
ment. And Solon, in the 80th year
of his age, and at the very point of
death, seemed to ri&e among his friends
from death to a new life. T.

DRUMMOND*S Polemo-middinia
is a well-known British macaronic
work, and its celebrity has no doubt been
increased from the circumstance of Bp.
Gibson having in his earlier days pub-
lished an edition (Oxford, 1(591, 4ta)
with LAttn notes. Wm. Drmnmond,
the poet, and also an- historian, was the
•on of Sir John Drommond, of Haw-
thornden; he was born tn 1595, died
in 1649. This po«m, the earliest regii-
kir British macaronic, was probably
written when he was on a visit to his
broihei-in-law at Scotatarvet, and coiv
tains a -ludicrous account of a battle
between Lady Sobtstarvet under the ti-
tle of Viurva, and Lddy Newbarns as
Neberna. It commences with the fol-
lowing invocation :

There is an edition by Messrs. Foulii
of Glasgow, 1768; and it is also to be
found in the collection hereafter men-
tioned, called *' Carminum rariorum

L/e/f, tpBioo (ne rounlcr of an apo-
thecary's shop, found at HercoUncam,
was a Dox ot pills, and bv the side of
it a small cylindrical roll, evidently
prepared to be cut into pills. By the
side of these was a jar containing me-
dicinal herbs.
The Plate No. V. represents a paint-
ing which is perfectly applicaole to
modern decoration.

Our authors are surprised that so few
skeletons have been found at Pompeii ;
and think that their number will be
^atly increased upon further excara*
tion.
Mr. Lyell says, that both here and
at Hercuianeum, the great mass of in«
habitants not only found time to escape,
but also to carry with them the prm«
cipal part of their valuable effects.
In p. 11 we find notice taken of an
arched kiln, supposed for lime, and of
a space also supposed for soap-boiltnjt.
In the middle of a house, represented
under the plan of part of the '* street
of the Mercuries,** we have a " FkU-
oniea,'* the '< Fuller's pool " of Scrip-
iure ; and in the same plan, we may
find the origin of our laree halls, smaU
garlours, and innumerable cupboards :
ut the singularity of this plan is the
manner in which the communications
with the rooms are formed. They re-
semble a labyrinth, and render eaaily
credible Rosamond's bower at Wood-
stock. No one room seems to have
communicated with each other, and of
course there must have been a great
waste in passages. Besides, it is re-
markable, that there is nothing rectan-
gular at Pompeii, nor even now, gene-
rally speaking, in Ilalv (p. 19), a cir-
cumstance which explains the occur-
rence of a similar irregularity in our
Gothic buildings, as noticed by Dr.
Whiuker (Richmondshire, ] 13). ^
In p. 17 we have a long and inte-
resting account of a Chalcidicum newly
discovere4. Some obscure hints are
^iven that it was a mercantile ex-
change, and probably merchants so
used it, for certain old authors have
made it a kind of Goldsmiths* Hall,
for trying the goodness of money,
from x^^X^» brass, and hxn; and
others have made it a mint. In sup-
port of this opinion, we are told, that

Heo. III. m. 11. dors. The writ
bearing date 97 Mar. b addreti^d to
the Archbishop of York and William
deCantelupe. It reci tea, thaf whereat
divert ladict of this realm neglected to
S've such tecurity to the King, at in
is case by the lawa and customs
thereof they ought to do, had matched
tbemsclvca without the King's consent^
lo the great preiudice and dishonour
of himself and his crown, to the in-
tent, therefore, that the like inconve-
nience for the time to come might be
avoided, he gave them, the said Arch-
bishop and William de Cantelupe,
strict command that, foratmuch Mar-
gerie titter to the late £arl of War-
wick, being one of the mott noble la-
diet in England, and potsessed of a
castle extraordinarily strong, situate
alao towards the marchet, and that it
would be most peri lout that the thould
tike to hutbana any person whatever
of whose fidelity the Ring had not as
Sreat a confidence at of his own, they
bould forthwith take the said castle
of Warwick, and what other landt of
hers they themtelvet thought fit at a
pledge, oetidet the ordinary tecurity
due from her, that the would not
marry any man living without the
King*t license; or if the did, forfeit
the landt."
Thut it appears that females of feu-
dal rank in capite, were not permitted
to marry whom they pleased, lest they
should convey their lands to rebellious
subjects, and thus create injury to the
Crown. Moreover, other records ex-
hibit instances ofladies paying fines to
avoid compulsory marriages. With
regard to young persons, ihey were
amanced at even six, seven, or eight
years of age, and brought to cohabit
upon arrival at puberty, that they
mieht not form indiscreet attachments.
- With a view to these circumstances
and mattera below stated, the records
before us were compiled ; and they are
of the highest value, inasmuch as they
refer to a remote period, when we have
only the scanty aid of Domesday, the
Chartae Antiqus, the Pipe Rolls, and
that incomplete abstract of the Liber
Ruber of the Exchequer, called (re-
spectively from their covcrsj the Liber
Niger, It appears that the originals of
these valuable rolls have either perish-
ed,- or are undiscovered. Mr. Stacey
Grimaldi has therefore published this
copy from the Harleian MS. no. 624.

Ws** whoae toal was recoid, body pa*
per, blood ink, and arms pena,) and
another scribing coa^otor. Sir Si*
monds D'Ewes, certified iu correct*
nest, by collating it with the originals*

In character the Rolls are abatraets
of Inquisitions, taken for the purpose
of ascertaining the wardships, relieA,
and other profits, due to the King from
widows and orphans of bis tenants in
capite, minutely describing their ages
and heirship, tlieir lands, the Talue of
them, the beasts upon them, and the
additional quantity necessary to com-
plete the stock.
That stock appears almost oniver-
sally to have consisted of bulla and
cows, boars and sows, and sheep.
Horses are rarely noticed. Upon one
estate worth 6/. lOi. it is estimated
that the addition of 200 sheep, two
cows, and two sows, woulo raise
it to the value of 8/. \0s. Instead of
houset being more worthless than
land, Emma, widow of Rob. da St.
Paul, is stated to have had in dower
a house in Northampton, worth as
much as 8/. per annum, which the
King gave with her as a fortune, to
Hugh Fitz- Robert, reserving only to
himself 2s. a year (p. 12). Possession of
a wood enabled a person to build a new
house ; for Richard Rufus having cus-
tody for wards, of a wood called the
Haie in Kimbolton,
** De predicta Haia ccttit ec et xxQ quer*
oiii, quarum xlij dadit uU vulait, et da aliia
fscit tibi fiari aulam et eamanun in Laicbs*
TSESIBE." — ^p. S4.
This cheapness, through having
stuff at hand, accounts for tne nnmber
of framework houses of timber, lath,
and plaister, ancienily so common, and
the profusion of wood thrown away in
their construction ; and it is probable
that as he cut " Ixxx fasciculus virga-*
rum,*' (we do not think that only 80
faggots are meant) at the same time Uia|
the latter nearly covered the expense
of workmanship. Upon some estates
we find a distinction of *' animalia
otiosa," for the stock, besides oxen„
is stated to consist of " in equis, et
vj vaccis, et viij animalibus o/tom,
et V porcis." (page 27) These are
defined in Ducange, from Fleta, &c.
as sheep, sows, poultry, and ani-
mals, which ^'agriculCurae non inser-

wards of the King were too aged for
matrimony, that he gave them a sti-
pend, and made them maintain a pau-
per on his account, alms being deemed
expiatory of sins. Thus, in p. 44, we
have (literally translated) : *
*' Two sisters In Pltpworth remain in the
alms of oar Lord the King, and ought to
fced one jpanper on account of our Lord the
Kbg. The eldest is 60 yean old, and has
four sons and ij dsughtera ; the other is a
girl CjntdUOt and Is 50 years old."
This is not more odd, than Horace's
calling a married woman, puella.
We shall end our comments with
observing, that stock annexed to land
augmented its value by more than
one third ; e. g. we have
<« The land is worth cs. with this stock,
viz. c sheep and a plough; but because
there is no stock there, the fiirmers pay an-
nually 60s:'
Thus far we hare indulged ourselves
in comments. The generat utility of
the work is thus exhibited by Mr.
Grimaldi :

ing to a period thirty-three years prior to

unfrequently mentioned, evidence of tlie

ant, since it relieves them from payment df
tythes.
''Females are generally stated to have
narried at the ages of eighteen or nineteen

** The greater part of the EsUtes were

THE Romish usurpation owed its
success to the superior knowledge of
Italy over the rest of Europe ; and its
political subtlety in addressing barba-
rians through the senses. It was a
dramatic, picturesoue, and inviiine re-
ligion; not a Coke upon Lyttelton,
intended for lawyers, or lawyer-like
Protestants. Indeed, its success was in
its day wonderful ; and in a worldly
view, advantageous: for had it not
been for the Crusades, we should have
had Mahometanism in Europe; and
had it not been for its tythes and en-
dowments, which required protection
from the State, there must either have
been a very factious church, or no
church at all ; and of course ignorance
and immorality would have been per-
petuated. There can be no question
of these facts, for our Kioas went to
Home for instruction in reltgion, and
Alfred's Clergy could not construe La-
tin, some not even read English. It
is true the Romish religion was sab-
stantiallyan affair of hocus pocas; but
there is a wide difference between as-
saying such a system by ancient and
by modern knowledge,— in the middle
ages it stood the piz of /Aetr gold-
smiths'-hall.

mysteries of insurgeneyt vKieli afterwmrds
were sptenmtized by ourselves. They were
the contrivers of that tcrri6c revolutioiMry
enfpne— -a mobocraeyt ami it waa from
them that we learned how to orgaain m
people in vast masses, so as to assemble or
disperse them at will. Their petitions and
remonstrances served as our models, when
in a submissive style of loyalty they kept
drilling throughout the whole kingdom.
This subtile party even practised the arts of
political flattery ; at tbe moment they were
iDsulent in the success of their arms, they
apologized for their invasion ; and his Ma-
jesty's loyal subjects of Scotland were only
rebellious in their acts. In the M\ of the
Hierarchy, through all its stages, the £og^
lish Commons were but the servile imitatoia
of the Scottish Covenanters. The leaden
of faction, both at home and in Scodaad,
were indeed but few ; they had however en-
gaged the whole people on their side by co-
vering their own design, which was a sub-
version of the Government, and makins reli-
eion their ostensible and national otriecV
raoaticisro has all the characteristics which
faction delights in; undismayed by perils
and most triumphant when opposed, it hurries
on without sense to discover its folly, and
without remorse to avert its GTimes."-^p.

^-This was done tocoanteract the rab-
binizing Judaism, which was spread-
ing among the people, but '* the revel-
ries of an English populace," says Mr.
D*IsraeH, *' have not the decencies of
those on the Continent.'* Among us
'* Swains are too furtunate, and maidens
too tender ; ales are too potent} and drink-
ers too pugnacious. Our rustics imagine
that their bfuitercnis freedom is never free*
doro till it is proclaimed by the Riot Act,
and the general carouse is concluded by man-
slaughter."— iiL 879.
Under the prevalence of such habits
it was worse than folly to revive the
Book of Sports. One person observed,
that abstinence from all recreation
should only be im^iosed upon ixersous
of quality, because they had the whole
week for their amuscmenu (p. 39O) ;
while another absolved lords, Knighis,
and esquires from the puritanical strict-
ness. Thus, says Mr. D' Israeli,
" Our kingdom of the godly must have
been the scorn and ridicule of other nations,
while they were regulating the police of an
empire, as if they were dwellers in the land
ofCauaan.*' — iii.S89.
XV I I I. T/te iovereignly of the sects,
-—Whatever may have been written
concerning a prescriptive right to such
a dominion, it is certain that he only
has it who can keep it ; but it is an
integral part of our insular policy never
to relinquish it.
XIX. Inaction of English fleets. —
' The main causes were a foreign pro-
ject for recovering the Palatinate, and
the j)robabiliiy of the civil war.
XX. Commotions of Scotland. The
Nobility of that country patronized
Calvin's republican presbytery, that
they might share in the plunder of the
hierarchy. They did so ; exacted the
tythes with an oppression never exer-
cised by the Clergy, and treated John
Knox's rebukes as nothing but " de-
vout imaginations" (452).
The object of Calvin was to raise
the spiritual above the temporal power;
and to have a papal democracy instead
of a papal monarchy. The principle
acted upon was a total independence
of the civil power, and irresponsibility
for any treason which was either taught
or upheld (bce p. 453). In short,
what was intended by the Gunpowder
Plot, theCalvinists contrived to effect
in a far superior manner.
** The Scots were our tutors in the
ertUkee of popukr democnejf and those
How Presbyterianism took sach suc-
cessful root in Scotland, is thus ex-
plained by Mr. D'lsraeli.
** The Scottish Nobles considered that it
was their great interest to continue their
patronage to the popular preachers^ and in-
deed neither party could exist with any se-
curity independently of the other. While
Presbytery flourished, it kept out the claims
of the ancient owners of the Church-lands,
whose present possessors dreaded the horrors
of a returning Hierarchy ; and the mar-pre-
lates themselves, although they had resigned
to the Nobility the spoils of the Church»
because they were not suffered to be par-
takers, were not however insensible that
they possessed no inferior dominion in lead-
ing tne understandings, and rousing at will
the passions of a people, whose rudeness,
just emerging from the blindest superstition,
was so favourable to the wildest impulses of
the £uiatical spirit." — p. 458.

[Oct.
who had the physical power of the
people at command, and ttius compelled
the nobility and gentry to tolerate them.
Cromwell obtained, through the neces-
lity of war, created by Charles in self-
defence, a victorious army, and drove
all before him. He was the hoand
who headed the pack, which had un-
dergone all the toil and difficulty of
subduing the Royal stag; and when
the hunt was Over, turned his brother
bounds upon the barking curs, who
accompanied in hope of sharing the
prey ; and made them sneak off, yelp-
ing, with their tails between their legs.
As to the stag himself, poor Charles,
he stood for some time at bay, and was
carted off only to be cut up afterwards
for his venison. There is no other
argument about what a bird has to do,
when he is put in a cage, except that
he must escape if he can; but wnether
had Charles, like Richard Cromwell,
retired at first into private life, and
left the contending tactions to them-
selves, the events would not have
brought on a triumphant restoration,
is a reasonable question. We think
that such might nave been the case,
had he not attempted to control inevi-
table circumstances, — that is, had in-
stead let the inundation spend it-
self. The conduct of Charles shews
the false policy of attempting always
to overcome circumstances; but none
of the Stuarts would temporize, and
thus ruined themselves. As to Charles,
he was the least culpable of ihem, be-
cause he was not the author of his own
scrapes, nnd in circumstances of ex-
treme perplexity, the question is not
whether a person may not act impru-
dently, but whether ne can at all act
otherwise. Setting apart the notion
of fatalism as a law of divine pro-
vidence, it 15 true, that destiny com-
mences when circumstances arc in
such a position, that their results are
morally certain. The victim is then
swimming in a current, which wiil in-
evitably carry him along with it. Few
men were more qualified for empire
than Alfred and Napoleon. The former
succumbed to circumstances, well
knowinji; that patience might (as it
did) produce opportunity. Napoleon
thought to drive circumstances before
him, and only prevented a similar fate
to that of Charles, by avoiding a civil
war on his own account.
The times of Charles the First are
lioiycwT a lesson of instruct ion to all
ages, particalarly at.' to fiziog the dm-
racter of civil rights and constitutioind
usages, and the meiiif of prerenting
the spiritual from eferatioff itteH'sboffe
the temporal power, the oett prereit*
tives of which arc diffusion of know-
led^, and a Chureh Establishment
So much of the discussion conoem-
ing the time of Charles the First, has
been wasted upon private character in-
stead of circumstances, that hitherto
the history [has] been written almost
exclusively upon mere party principles i
for aristocrats and democrats act not
like philosophers, but like sliop-keepets
praise or vituperate, as the subjects be-
fore them are customers or not. We
declare, however, that with the excep-
tion of Bates's Elenchus, which is
written in Latin, and lays no claim to
erudition or talent, we have seen no-
thing worthy the name of legitimate
history, which does even common
justice to the unfortunate King.
We can with sincerity say, that this
work is of the highest historical cha*
racter; and that it is a glass to assist
the short-sighted, and a telescope for
the learned. It will, no doubt,, be a
standard book upon the subject; and
in an age when right crafty religionisu
are deluging society with innovations
and trash, it will be a seasonable beacon
against the machinations of those who
want to gain golden a^es for them-
selves, by only promising them to
others.
Introduction to the study of the Greek Classic

WHETHER we cultivate the clas-
sics by the spade-husbandry of the pub-
lic schools, or plough them with Mr.
Hamilton's locomotive engine, they
who, says Mr. Coleridge (p. 34) *• do
not assume to understand all their
riches, all their beauty, or all their
power, may yet profoundly feel their
immeasurable superiority to all we call
motlern."
Vicesimus Knox has, in his work
upon education, written an admirable
eulogy upon that language of gods, the
Greek ; and Mr. Coleridge is not be-
neath him in ihe following apostrophe.

We care not that Liberalism and Sec-

tion Acheronla movere, Jlectere ti ne-

not require horses ; that our great pub-
lic schools, to be classed among the

perseded by twopenny seminaries, only
four farthings better than penny schools;
and that a man is qualified to teach

not, we repeat, because we hope that
we shall always treat nonsense with
the contempt that nonsense deserves.

say, because the Hamilionian scheme

inasmuch as translations can leach no-
thing but what can be learned by
another way ; viz. by dictionary, gram-
mar, and exercises; neither can they
convey the colour and feeling, nor fa-
miliarize us with the character of the
author, nor enable us to construe at
sight. Indeed translation is at all times
useless, if unaccompanied by gramma-
tical instruction.

MJthough retained in Glastonbury
-»nd the Tower of London, does
m
not occur in the Saxon Chronicle; W*e
think so, because there is no Tor in
Bishop Gibson's list of initials and
finals. According to our rccollcclioa«
it accords with its Celtie origin, bj
being applied to placet only ofBritish
ancientry.
In p. 5, we have,
'* King Atwofff'wtM an AorilaiiiiQis,
And loved ryght well to serve God."
The Glossary defines ffarlasmon by
harmless man. We hold it to be t
corruption of the old Saxon **X^lic,'*
venerabilis, honorabilis. We find no
assimilation to Bajim (arm) or ))eapin.
Harm, and no heajimleaj- in Lye» nor
do we know of any conversion of m
into r in the dialect.
** For an holy roon forsothe he was.
And loved full well Goddys s'vys€»
Every day he wold her' a masse,
As sooe as he ded up ryse."
Froissart and other Chroniclen show
the subsequent continuance of thb
custom.
We read in the accounts of the bat-
tle of Bosworth, of King Richard's
crown having been found in a bush,
and being immediately afterwards
placed on the head of the Earl of Rich-
mond. Thus upon Alfred's decease^
it is here said,
'< Bot when all this was thus y wrought,
And his sowie to heven y past,
The crone was to his sone y brougt.
And croDeJe hym Kyng in gret hast."—

the earth, bright lamp of God, the
eternal Lord/ and has other retem-
blances. But were it not so, it is cer-
tain, from Gawin Douglas's transla-
tion of VirKJI, of which there are fine
extracts in Warton's History of Poetry,
that all the florid splendour of Ossian
was in vogue among the Scots of the
fifteenth century ; |)088ibly, for we
have not the book at hand, that poem
may exhibit the very figures and
phrases of the old bard.
Mr. Black then proceeds to explain
the cause why the verse of the Middle
Age is generally so defective in poeti-
cal merit.
** In the dark ages, when literature was
■Imott uoiverially coofioed to the cloister,
.where superstition held the place of reli-
gion, and social life was exchanged by the
misguided soul for sUence and solitude : the
finer feelinn of the human mind, though
not altogetner extiogubhed by monastic ri-
gour, were hardly kept alive by the scanti-
ness of intellectual food. The written poetry
foi the middle ages, for the most part com-
posed by recluses, was chiefly narrative or
aentifflecul ; and, with few exceptions, was
dull, groveling, and wone than prose. The
imagination seldom took flight, unless to
^eek a description of unreal scenes taught
by the false theology of the time, or to
invent or amplify the most unlikely stories ;
and thus to strengthen the bonds of mental
slavery, and increase its terron. The lives
of Saints, and of such as under that name
were mere examples of apathy compared
with which Stoicism is divine, had been
written and circulated in latin ; which were
afUrward translated into English or French ;
and, to be the more acceptable, they were
^duced to metre for recreative recital.
These, however, at first more simple and
sometimes very intereiting, were by degrees
loaded with myriads of miracles, until tbey
became loathsome, went gradually out of
use, and were at length swept away by the
Reformation of religion and literature."-—
Pref. iv.
We are indebted to a learned corres-
pondent for the following valuable cor-
rections:— In the first page, note 5,
for Kenwujph read Kingils; for Ken-
wulph or Cynewulf was not King of
Wessex till a century after Kingils,
who is here called Kyngylf. It was
certainly Kingils who was baptixed by
Birinus in 635. (See Saxon Chroni-
cle.) From page 70, stanza 627, we
learn that 24 mnes constituted a day's
journey in the author's time (1420), or
at )east in that of St. Dunstan ; hut
perhaps this may be called • ihc p\l-
gri Ill's pact, * ihou^\ it is said.

THE little topographical brochure
before us, under the head of St. Mar-

(in some places verbatim) Mr. Kempe's

the account of the regulations and

The desultory notes on the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the prectoct,
and the remarks on the old " Mourn-

are for the most part vtry amusing.
Concerning an early London Typo-
grapher, we have the following parti-
culars :
"The famous early printer John Day,
who lived over Aldersgate, occurs in the
parish books aa churchwarden of St. Anne's
under the date 1574. He sicns himself
* Stacioner' agreeably to the folIowiDg men-
Uon of him by Stow. (John Day, sta-
tioner, a late famous printer of many good
books, in our time dwelled in this gate, and
builded much upon the wall of the city, to-
wards the parish church of St. Anne.* lltere
is an excellent Bible printed by Day in Ed-
ward the Sixth's time, with the Utie, « The
Old and New Testameirt, &c., printed by
John Day, dwelling over Aldersnte, be-
neath St. Martvn's, 1551, the 8d daye of
Maye.' Hii other publicatioot, issued from
the same quarter, appear to have been nu-
merous ; most of them theological and op-
posed to Popery. One of the books printed
here has a wood-cut in the title, representing
Day with a whip in his hand, in a room at
the top of this gate, where his boys were in
bed, and the Sun shining on them, with the
punning line, 'Arise, for it is Dat/e/* "

IN these descriptions Miss Mitford
ia without a rival. She is the most
faithful, as well as the most gifted of
all the village chroniclers. Her pen is
guided by Nature and Truth. There
IS nothing hid from her eye, be the
matter at issue connected with minds
or morals, customs or manners, the
scenery of nature or the mysteries of
the hearu Her style is perfect and
inimitable, — a dangerous model, how-
eter, for imitators, whom it would as-
iuredly lead astray. Her familiarity is
easy, never vulgar ; she is brisk occa-
sionally, but never flippant, while in
the true pathos which seizes the sen-
ile affections, without effort she is a
perfect mistress. Her genius embel-
lishes all it touches, gilding common
things and every day occurrences with
its own brightness, nay, exalting them
into pictures of romantic interest ; and
all this without ''overstepping the
modesty" which her Rreat teacher re-
Guires. We should, however, prefer
tnat the Stories which were avowedly
writtea for childrta, were published
separately. There are bat few who
have the grace and godliness to extract
wholesome matter from childreo'a

gracefully to such amusement.

THIS is another series of those
cheap and useful publications for
which the present age is so pre-emi-
nently distmguished, and ia printed
uniformly with the Waverley Novels,
Dr. Lardner^s Encyclopedia, &c. The
design of this volume is to exhibit a
complete and connected view of the
successive voyages made to the Arctic
resions. The career of the navigators^
who at various times have traversed
the Northern Seas, amid tempest,
darkness, and mountains of floating
ice, presents such a series of peril and
vicissitude, and has eiven rise to so
many extraordinary displays of intre>
pidity and heroism, as cannot fail to
render most interesting the story of
their several adventures. When we
consider also, that in this field of dis-
covery England laid the foundation of
her maritime pre-eminence, and that
the men who have earned the greatest
glory in it have been chiefly British,
the history of Northern Navigation
must have a peculiar charm for the
English reader.
Ihe volume is neatly embellished
with a chart of the northern routes of
discovery, and with several vignettes
exhibiting picturesque views of the
Arctic regions, groups of the natives,
&c.. To the whole is appended an
excellent account of the Northern
Whale Fishery. "The description
here introduced (says the writer) may
be the more acceptable, as it is pre-
sumed to be the only one hitherto at-
tempted within a moderate compass.*'

A VISION OF YOUTH.
By Mrs. Caret.
T\^HEN the tints of the sunbeam had faded away ;
And Twilight approaclrd io his mantle of grey —
When the Zephyrs, enamour'a, scarce stray *d from the rose—
And all nature was calm as the good man's repose-
In that moment, so lovely, so sweet, so serene,
A light female form glided swif^ o'er the green —
Nor tarried, nor paos'd, 'till, in accents so dear,
Tlie voice uf her lover thus breath'd on her ear—
'* Oh ! welcome, my fairest ! more welcome than light.
To the wretch wlio has wandered unhoui'd through the night.
And wilt thou, indeed, in my honour confide ;
And disdain the cold maxims of prudence and pride ?
'* Oh ! pause not ! delay not I — To lose thee were death !
Then speak ! fur ray destiny hangs on thy breath.
Oh I speak, dearest maid, thy consent to be mine 1
And each pleasure that fortune can give shall be thine.
** And, though now a stern parent forbids me to prove,
At the altar of Hymen, my truth and my love,
Ohi say thou wilt bless me ! and then, as my wife
(In all but the name) I '11 protect diet through life."

HISTORICAL CHRONICLE.

FOREIGN NEWS.
FRANCE.
The tone of the puMic miod lo the
Freoch otiiital appean to b« one of great
•xeitement. Perhaps siDce the late revolu-
tion there hat been oo other occasitm id
which tlie French nation was oallcd apoo to
diacuM a question of to much iniMdiate
interest, or ultimate conseqoenoe, as that
lately submitted to it* of the abolition of ca-
pital punishment for political offencca. Its
connection with the impending trial of tlie
es-Mioisters gires to the argument a cha-
racter which is nut likely to aubt the lead-
ing it to a sound or merciful conclusion.
The advocates of mercy are denounced aa the
friends c»f the pr'isonersi and those who,
with reason, demand at the handa of the
country the punishment of tlie signers of
the ordinances of July, are branded as the
partners of a cruel rei-enge. The important
•diicustion relative to tlie abolition of capital
punishments for political offmoea took
place in the Chamber of Deputies on the
9th of Oct. This momentous question
originated in a motion of M. de Tracy* son
of tne Count de Tracy, one of the Peers*
and author of several works on Metaphysics.
An address was amed upon, reqveating the
Government to take the lead in this salutary
reform. In the decision on the motion the
House divided in the portion of 899 against %l.
The King in his reply to the address of the
Chamber, said that oe perfectly accorded
with the sentiments expressed by the Cham-
ber with respect to the abolition of capital
punishments. As the King and the Cham-
ber manifest their disposition to abolish the
punishment, the people have iacreaaed in
obstinacy for its continuance. Cries of
« Death to the Ministers ! " have been ge-
neral in the streets of Paris, and tumultu-
ous mobs have assembled around the Palais
Royal for the purpose of iutimidaCing the
king and his ministers j but the prudent
conduct of the National Guard has hitherto
prevented any evil consequences.
An addition of 108,000 men to the Tnni-
lar jirmy has been resolved upon. 11) is
neasure is said to be rendered necessary, by
the losses in Africa, the number of troops
stationed there and in Greece, and the dis-
solution of the Royal Guard. The internal
titoation of France is also thought to Justify
an augmentation of the standing army.
THE NETHERLANDS.
Id our kst Number we briefly steted that
Priace Frederick had issued a proclamation
on the 91st Sept. announcmg that, if the
iMOfgents at Brussels did not lay down
iht^ mm>§, the oatiooal troopa would ad-
ofQa the citj, ukd by force of «rms
re-establish order. Aecordioglv on the
98d the Prince, at the head of the royal
forces, consisting of about 19,000 mens
marclied on Brussels from Vikordo, aDd
gained potseasion of the auburlw. It ap-
pears that, previously to the adi-ance of the
Dutch troope, Bmssela waa in a dreadful
state of eaciicment, arising in a grestt de-
gree from the riotous and determined spirit
of the mob. The Garde Bourgeoiae, aa
well as the Provisi<wal Government, IimI
lost the confidence of thepeople, aaid the
latter had ceased to act. Tiie approach of
the hostile troopa, however, united all
cluset in a spirit of rcaisunce. Cannon
were placed to command the entrances ;
fresh barricades were thrown up; atonea
and other missiles were collected in the
upper stories of the houses ; and a Military
Committee was appointed to superintend
the defence of the city, amongst tlie lead-
mg members of which were Don Juan Vaa
Helen, known by his published memcHra,
and Colonel Mellenet, a Frenchman, both
of great military experience, and by whom
several corps of volunteers were organiied.
On the mommg of Thursday the 9ad,
the Prince, forming his troope into tbr«tt
divisions^ advanced on the town : one of
these wu directed no the Flanders gate, ooe
on the Louvain, and one on the Schaerhedt
gate. The first division was allowed to ad-
vance without interruption, until it reached
the fish-market. There they remained for
nearly an hour, without seeing an enemy,
or being in the slightest degree disturbed.
At last thirty or forty pef*ple made their ap-
pearance } and in a lew minutes after the
troops were roused from their dream of
peace by a general and galling fire from the
aurrounding houses, from which, at the
same moment, a shower of missiles of every
possible description began to bail on their
devoted heads. Among these are men-
tioned quicklime and vitriol ! The troopa
were speedily thrown into confusion by this
unexpected attack, and endeavoured to re-
treat ; in which they were so Incommoded
by tlie barriers across the street, and so
pelted by stones from the houses, that the
retreat was sooq converted into a flight, and
the flight into a scramble who should first
reach the gate. A Coluoel of infantry of
this division was killed, and a number of
other officers and men killed, wounded, apd
taken. There was no second attempt on
the Flanders gate.— The attack on the upper
town began at nine o'clock. The Prince
had a masked battery on die heighu be-
tween the two gates of Louvain and Schaer-
beck, which opened while the trocqis were

[Oct.
gUni that their with with respect to the
eepention of the two parts of the kingdom
had been acceded to ; that a dittiact admi-
niitratioA was to be formed, consisting en-
tifelr of Belgians, with the Prince ai their
head; that all places dependant apon this
Government would be given to the inha-
bitiats of the provinces which composed it;
that tlie greatest libertjr would be left with
respect to the instructnin of youth ; and
that other ameliorations would be made in
aceordance with the wish of the nation and
thewanu of the times. — ^The Proviiional
Government of de Potter and Co. however
determined to enter into no compromise;
but in otter disregard of the rojal decrees
proceeded to exercise all the acts of su-
preme authority, with the full confidence of
the Belgians, and without question or in-
terruption from the Dutch. They decreed
the tntin separation of the two countries,
■ad appointed a governor to that province
in which the Prince had been directed to
take up his residence. They ordered the
collection of the old taxes, and the organi-
zation of the Burgher Guard; and com-
mittees were nominated— one to prepare a
constitution fur the country, and another to
report upon the actual amount of injury
done to property in Brussels. They also
formally declared, that tliey would not treat,
uJMn any terms, with the rrince of Orange
aftd his Council at Antwerp, for the pacifi-
cation of the Netherlands, so long as tlie
Prince used the uame of the King. In this
dilemma the King called upon his Dutch
subjects to arm en masse, fur the honour
and protection of the kingdom ; or rather,
probably, for the safety of his northein
territories.
On the 16th of Oct<iber the Prince of
Orange issued an important pruclamaiion
from Antwerp, in which he acknowledges
the Belgians as an independent nation.
** You can (says he) freely choose, in the
tame manner as your co-citizens of tlie
other provinces, deputies for the National
Congress who are going to debate the in-
terests of their country. I shall put myself
at the head of the provinces I covem, and
place you in a state new and stable, of which
the nation will form the fiircc. This is the
Ungnage of one who will sacrifice his blood
for the independence of your country."
In consequence of the above declaration
of the Prince, which appears to have been
in opposition to the intention of the King,
the latter revoked the commission with
which he had invested him on the 4th, and
declared his resolution to retain the for-
tresses of the provinces of Antwern and
Umbourr against anv attack from Belgium,
though directed by his son.
TIm following patticubiTS respecting the
Mace oFOnnse aad Prince Frederick, the
twd' 90UM of the pre»ent King of the Ne-
tberkadt, may it this time be intereitini;.
Frederick Ge<irge Louis of Nassau, Prinetof
Orange, was bnrn in December 1 79il» and
having received the rudiments of his educa-
tion in Germiny, came to England in 1 809,
where he entered the University of Oaf»rd,
and gave evident proofs of talent ami assi-
duity. In 1811 ne entered the English
army under the Duke of Wellington, and
soon distinguished himself, and was ap-
pointed by the Duke one of his Aidef-d«-
camp. At the capture of Ciudad Kodrigo
he was amoocst the foremost to tJirow
himself into the breach ; and at Badajos
he rallied an English division that had
been driven back, led them to the assault,
drove the enemy from the ramparts, and
entered the town at the head of his column.
He also distinguished himself at Salamanoa.
His late Majesty, then Regent, presented
him with a gold medal, bearing tne namea
of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajox, and Salamanca;
and also raised him to tne rank of Colonel,
and made him one of Kis Aidea-de-campb
At the peace which fnilnwed his frther waa
made King of the Netherlands, in which
country the Prince went to reside, and
became very popular. On Buonaparte's
return from Elba, in 1815, the Prince of
Orange took the command of the Nether-
lauds troops, and highly distinguished him-
self at the battle of Waterloo. On the
SI St Feb. 1816, he was married at Peters-
burgh to the Grand Duchess Anna Paulow-
na, daufhter of the Emperor Paul, and sis-
ter of the late and present Emperors of
Russia, of which marrisge there is issue
three Princes and a Princess. The Prince
of Orange's brother,|FieJerick- William, dis-
tinguished himself at the Imttle of Water-
loo and the siege of Valenciennes. He is
married to a daughter of the King of Prus-
sia, and is a Major-Grneral and Colonel of
a Regiment in the Prussian service.
GERMANY.
Several local disturbances, o( an insurrec-
tionary nature, have taken place in many of
thepetty states of Gemumy.
Tne subjects of the Elector of Hesse Cas-
sel demanded a free constitution in a manner
which rendered resistance hopeless, and the
Elector, afler some hesitation, had the wis-
dom tn prefer compliance to flight. On the
ISth Sept. a |>etition was presented to the
Elector, sigued by many thousands, de-
manding extensive reforms, and a meeting
of the states. The Elector delayed giving
an answer. The agitation of the people was
extreme, every thing indicated their deter-
mation. On tlie 15th, at day-break, the
city was all in motion. At nine a deputa-
tion of magistrates and citizens went to the
Palace ; the people waited the result in the
street with a determined resolution. The

INTELUGENCE FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
The Church. — The lite Clergy Act ex-
preMly eiijoini that a Cante's eaUrj shall in
BO case be less than 80/. per am. ; and that
euch salary shall not lie less than lOOZ. per
ann. in any parish or place where the popu-
htinn, according to the last parliamentary
returns, shall amount to 800 persons ;
when the population shall amount to 500
persons, tne salary is not to be less than
ISO/, perann.i and 150/. per aon. if the
population amounts to 1 000 persons. But
the following statement of stipends affords
a melancholy aspect. Six curates receive
under 90/. i 59 under 80/. } 1 78 under 40/. ;
441 under 50/.; 899 under 60/.; 800
under 70/.; 415 under 80/.; 468 under
90/.; 156 under 100/.; 500 under 110/.;
69 under 190/.; 907 under 130/.; 59
under 140/.; 89 under 150/.; 169 under
160/.; 96 under 170/.; 15 under 180/.;
Sunder 190/.; 8 under 900/.; 17 under
910/.; 9 under 990/.; 9 under 930/.; 9
under 9401. 1 8 under 950/. ; 4 under 960/.;
1 under 990/.; 9 under 310/.; 1 under
890/.; and 1 under 340/. There are 43
who receive the whole income of the bene-
fices they serve. Two receive one half of
the ineome, and one is paid two guineas
each Sunday. With respect to the gross
▼alue of rnrings where the incumbents are
uon-residents, it is stated that there are
9496 under 800/. and 1933 of the value of
800/. and upwards — ^The Curates employed
hi the several dioceses are:— in St. Asaph,
80; Bangor, 58; Bath and Wells, 190;
Bristol, 108; Canterbury, 135; Carlisle,
44; Chester^ 158; Chichester, UO; St.
David's, 194; Durham, 78; Ely, 71 ;
Exeter, 356; Gloucester, 198; Hereford,
153; Llandaff, 91; Lichfield and Coven-
try, 268 ; Lincoln, 550; London, 934;
Norwich, 473 j Oxford, 69 ; Peterborough,
116; Rochester, 47; Salisbury, 174;
Winchester, 177; Worcester, 83; York,
960 ; toul. 4254. Of this number, 13.9^
reside in the glebe-house, and 805 in the
parish. 3600 are licensed curates.
An Act was passed on the 9Sd of July
last (l William IV. c. 59) for endowing,
amongst other plapes, '' a Chapel erected
on Slink Island, in the river Humber." By
the 90th section, which recites that the es-
tate belongs to the crown, and that on part
of it the tenants have erected a chapel, and
enclosed a piece of land as ahunrine-ground,
it IS enacted that the said island shall he
|o)rmed into and become a parish, to he
called the parish of Sunk Island, in the
county ot York. By the next section, the
chapel is to be called the Parish Church of
Sunx Island, in the province of York, and
Archdeaconry of the East Riding. By the
99d section, the church is endowed as a
place of wonbip, and the Minister incorpo-
rated ; by the 98dv the right of patrosagt is
vested in his Majesty ; and by the 96th, tiie
Commissioners are emp<»wered to purchase
8,883/. 6*. 8d., in the three per cent, con-
sols, in the names of certain truetece, ahe
dividends of which are to be paid to the
Minister, fur the performanct of hia wend
duties.
A melancholy proof of the distreeead state
of agriculture in Buekifigham»kire it lur-
nislied hy the faet that nearly the entire pa-
rish of Wotton Underwood, eomprisiag
about 9800 acres of land, tlie property of
the Duke of Buckragharo, is advertised to
be let ; ilie tenants either haviug left, or
given notice to quit. Two fisrme ia the
neighbouring parish of Brill, one in the
parish of Hdlesdon, and one in each of the
parishes of Stoke Mandeville, Westoa Tor-
vilie, and Weedon (a pait of the latter farm
beine situate in the parish of Aylesbury) all
of which belong to the noble Doke, are like-
wise advertised to be let.
Some tumultuous proceedings have ru-
eently taken place throughout the county of
Kent, arising from the outrageous coudui^t
of agricultural mol>s of the lower classes go^
ing about demolishing the threshing ma-
chines of the farmers. A body of meu,
amounting to upwards of 900 in number,
lately assembled at the respective residencea
of Sir Henry Oxendea, Sir Henry Tucker
Montresor, Mr. Kelcey, Mr. Holtum, and
Mr. Sankey, farmers, and violently bri^
into their barns, where they destroyed the
thrashing-machines they found in tnem re-
spectively. At the adjourned meeting of
the magistrates and other gentlemen of
East Kent, held on the 19th of Oct. at
Canterbury, the High Sheriff in the chair,
it was resolved to ofl^r a reward of 500/. for
the discovery of these incendiaries. The
Lords of the Treasury have also offered a
reward of 100/. for the discovery and appre-
hension of the offenders who set fire to and
burnt the barns and cornstacks belonging to
the Rev. Mr. Price, of Lyminge, on (he
night of the 5th Oct.
Oct, 9. Great distress was occasioned in
Hull by the arrival of intelligence, that the
Whale Fishery had proved a complete fiul-
ure, and that eighteen ships, — six of them
belonging to Hull, — had been lost in this
perilous branch of trade. It appears, that
the season has been one of the most embar-
rassing ever experienced, from the accumu-
lated masses of ice by which the navigation
was impeded, the continued haziness of the
weather, and the frequent gales of wind.
The ships arrived at the proper season in
Melville Bay, where, in consequence of a
strong gale from the south, which blocked
them in, many were compelled to remun
twelve weeks ! — and when, at length, they
were able to effect their departure, and steer
to the westward, they could discover neither
fish nor ice. The loss upon a clean ship

at Birch Moretoa in Wurc«»certhiret
March U, 1770.
Hit fiubipr, WilliniDt w«t the second
•on of WiUiam H4itkiison, Esq. of Ox-
ley, near Wolverhampton ; and, on hit
MMirriage with Eliaabetb, dauf^bter of
John RoCtvn,-B«q., of an old and respect*
able family in hiaffordthire, hud hired
an extentivn farm at Bireli Moreton.
Mrt. Hutkifton hud three other tont^
and died toon after Rivin|^ birth to the
ytMiiigeit in ' 1774 1 Mr. Hoskitson't elder
brother bnvittfp alto died about thnt time
uniliarrledy be quitted Worcettershirey
rMurnififC to bit father at Oxl«*y, and
tiicceedinK Vo that property, continued
ioretidie upon it till hit death in 1790.
At hit muther*t deceate, the late Mr.
Hutklvton «vat not five yeart old, and he
wa» placed at an infant tchotil at Bre-
wood in StafiTtirdihire ; when older, re-
■toved to Albrighton, and Ititly to Ap»
|rteby in Leicvgierthirfy where he i^ave
evident prorolte of the talentt by which
he bat since been so eminently dit-
tifietilshed.
Mr. Uhski<tton't mother wat niece to
Dr. Gem, ■ (gentleman hifi^ly etteemed,
at well for his medical tkill as for hit
other sf^entific and- literary acquire-
ments. He had accompanied the Dake
of Bedford on the embatiy to France in
1769-3, and the tociety of the men of
letters with whom he- mixed, and the
great facilitl^t which Paris then afforded
Urr the researches of tcienee, decided Dr.
Gem to Ar hit residence in that capital
tend its virlnhy ; payin^i: o(*cattonal visits
to his friends in England, and to bis
small family estate in Worcestershire
(which, at hit death inr 1800, he be-
qaeath^d to Mr. Huskisson, appointing^
hrm aho residuMry legatee). Dr. Gem
always felt great interest in the children
of his favourite niece, and havinfi: ex-
pressed a wish, in consequence of the
second marriage contracted by Mr. Hus-
klston't father, that the two eldest boyt
thould be intrusted to hit care, they
were permitted to accompany him on
hit return to P^ris in 1783. The late
Mr. Huskitfon was then' between 13 and
J 3 yeart old. Di*. Gem attended most
carefully to his education, and, it hat
bten taid, withed to direct bis studies
toward medical science } but, whatever
mi){ht have been the Doctor's wishes, it
it perfectly certain that younf Ubtkia-
tun never followed^ or bad any inclina-
tion for that profettion i nor wat be ever
clerk in any hankiu^boate. There wat,
indeed, no absolute necettity for bit
adopt inf; any profettion, at the greater
part of the Staffordshire property wat
entailed upon him.
Hki mind, however, hail received iti
irapeiut from the eventt of the timet.
The political and financial ditctiatioiii of
Parit produced powerful effiectt upon bit
vigiirous mind, and naturally created ao
enthusiasm for the tuccett of a cauae,
at yet unobtcured by tbe contempla-
tion uf tbe atrocities which followedt
Mr. Hu^kiston was present at tbe tak-
infc of the Katiile, at which time be wat
nineteen ; and it wat in the following
month that he became dittinguithed by
bit speech at the Quatre-vinj^t-neuf Club,
on the S9th of Au^st, 1790.^ In tbe ti-
tle be is described as an Englishman,
and a member of the Socieid from 1789.
The subject of the speech is the pidfey
of an additional issue of atsignait, Hw
maimer in which It Is treated would not
have disgraced his more matured know-
* It having been stated that Mr. Hus-
kisson had fraternised with tbe Jacobin
Club, he some years ago addressed the
following letter to a friend :
" My dear Sir,-^Many thanks for
your very kind letter. I am aware how
induttriously the calnmniet to which
vou refer have been circulated by ma-
levolence, and 1 am equally aware that
in many inttances they have unwitting-
ly been received at truth.
** 1 never wat in the Jacobin Club
but once in my life. I went there at a
tpectator^ and in company with tbe late
Mr. Windham and tlie late Lord Chi-
ohetter, [and also, it appears, tbe pre-
tent Sir John Tbomat Stanley, of Che-
shire,] who were about as good Jacobins
as myself.
** The club was an object of curiosity
to foreigners ; and in the indulgence uf
that curiosity we went to one sitting, as
we might have gone to a bull-fight in
Spain. Voila tout. But every man who
aspires to distinction in public life roust
lay his account to be assailed with buch
unfair weapons.— Yours very sincerely,
" W. Huskisson.

Obituary. — Right Hon, H^iUiam Hutkiaon,
[Oct.
vtry same day, Mr. Pitt returned to
power; and toon after Mr. HutkiMon
was appointed one of the joint Secreta-
ries to the Treasury, together with Mr.
Sconces Bourne. Ai the |;enerAl election
in 1806, he was re-elected (or Lisk.eKrd.
During Mr. Foa's short admlnittra-
tion, Mr. Huskisson was in oppt»sitioni
hut he returned with Mr. Perceval, and
resumed his Secretaryship, being electrd
to Parliament in 1807 for the horough
of Harwich. In 1809 he sgain retired
from office with Mr. Canning.
In 1810, during the di«cusfiun of the
bullion quettion, Mr. Huskisson pub-
lished a pamphlet, which attracted con-
•iderable attention, entitled, <'The Ques-
tion concerning the Depreciation of our
Currency stated and examined." (See it
reviewed in our vol. lzxx. ii. 545.)
At the elections of 1813, 1818, and
1890, Mr. Huskiison was retunied for
Chichester. About 1818 he obtained the
lucrative appointment of colonial agent
for Ceylon, the salary of which was 4000/.
a year; this he retained until 18S3. Ou
the S9th of July 1814, he was sworn a
Privy Counsellor ; and on the 6ib of
August following, was appointed a Com-
missioner of Woods and Forests ; a post
which he retained until taken into the
Cabinet in 18S3.
Mr. Huskisson was the most active
ministerial member of the committee on
the Corn Bill, which reported at such
length in 1820; and he is understood to
have made himself unpopular to the
country gentlemen at that time, on ac-
count of the steadiness with which he
advocated a more liberal tystero in op-
position t(» them. He had a firm sup-
porter in Mr. Ricardo, to nhom he was,
on several occasions, greatly indebted at
that time. The Report was understood
to have been chiefly his work.
From that time to the day of his
death, Mr. Huskisson's name was, in
one way or other, associated with every
question of importance. He enj(»yed a
high reputation with his p:trty for the
inflexible determination with which he
advocated and enforced, as far as he
could, the doctrines of free trade, undis-
mayed by the opposition of the country
gentlemen, or the complaints of the
manufacturers. As a parliamentary
speaker, he was clear and vigorous. He
could be severely sarcastic wben he
chose, and he was not a man whom any
one would have wished unnecessarily to
provoke, as he was always prepared both
with facts and arguments. Mr. Canning
held him always in the highest esteem,
and in the discussion on the silk ques-
tion, when Mr. Jobii Williams, the bar-
iiiter, fave utttrauce to some petulant
remark*, implying that Mr. Huskisson
WtfS iusensible to the di8tre»s he infli(*ted
in tlie execution of his schraies, Mr.
Canning pronounced a warm eulogium
on liis friend, whom he eomparsd to
Turgot.
Ou Mr. Canning's appointment to be
Secretary of Slate, in September 1839,
and his declining being re-eleeted for
Liverpool, the freemen, solicitout to
maintain their connection with bim,
chose his friend. Mr. Huskisson for bis
successor. Ou the SIst of January 1883,
the latter was appointed Treasurer of
the Navy ; to which oince was added,
on the 5th of April following, that of
President of the Board of Trade. Ou the
death of Mr. Canning, and fi>rmati<iD
of Lord Godericb's minisiiy, Mr. Hus-
kisson succeeiied his Lordship at S«'Cro-
tary for the Colonies, Sept. 8, 1 8S7. I n De^
cember following, he tendered bis re-
signation to Lord Goderieb, on account
of the existence of a difference jif opi-
nion l>etweeri himself and Mr. Herries,
with regard to the appointment of Lord
Ahhorp to be Chairman of the Finance
Committee. However, when ii waa
soon after found that Lord Guderich
himself could not retain the premier^
ship, Mr. Huskisson continued in office
under the Duke of Wellington. Upon this
it became necessary for biro to explain to
bis constituents how he bad acceded to
the new Premier ; aiid he intimated that
something like a pledge had bet*n given
to him that the new administration
would be conducted on liberal princi-
ples. This was contradicted in Parlia-
ment with very little ceremony, by his
Grace, and Mr. Huskisson was obligrd
to remain silent. By this he suffered
somewhat in the general estimation i so
that when, on voting (May 19, 18S8) in
opposition to the Ministry on the East
Retford disfranchisement bill, the Duke
of Welliiigtoii sent him a dismissal, it
was with greater ridicule than regret
that the public parted with his services.
The Duke's eagerness to force his resign-
ation, and Mr. Huskisson's unwilling-
ness that the matter should be pressed
to that extremity (see our vol. xcviii. i.
551), also afforded great popular amuse-
ment. But still, as a practical minister,
intrusted with financial, commercial, or
colonial interests, to organise and direct,
to unravel, discourse upon, and defend,
tbe bold innovations made within these
few years in our maritime and commer*
cial policy, Mr. Huskisson was invalua-
ble to the Government, and his loss very
difficult to be repaired. It was therefore
very cunently believed, that tbe ex-Se-
cretary would speedily have been recalled
to place \ and it is most remarkable that

adYancinf slowly through an immense
crowd ranged in the most perfect order,
and ohsenring the deepest silence, on
each side of it. As the hearse advanced,
all this vast crowd aneovered, and tbe
dark appearance of the moving proces-
sion, and the mottled appearance of the
bare-headed and imrooveable multitude
which was gating iiitenilj upon it,
formed a very marked contrast to each
other. A small piece of cannon, which
had been previously stationed on St.
James's Mount, was fired as a signal to
the town as soon as the procession be-
gan to enter tbe cemetery.
The mutes on horseback took their
position, one at each side of the en*
trance. Tlie gentlemen of tbe town
filed off to the right, breaking their
lines of b\x into lines of three deep, and
descended without delay into tbe ceme-
tery. Part of their path ran through an
arched passage or tunnel cut through
the solid rock ; and to a person standing
on the neighbouring heights there was
something very romantic and pictu-
resque in the manner in wbich they al-
ternately appeared and disappeared
from view. They then proceeded to
range themselves on the serpentine
fvalks wbich skirt the centre grass-plot,
where the vault was dug for Mr. Hus-
kisson's remains. At a distance they
appeared to have grouped themselves in
the shape of a diamond, a vacant space
being left at the angle nearest the spec-
tator for tbe bearers of the cofAn to
carry it to the grave. Whilst this ar-
rangement was taking place in tbe ce-
metery, the committee and the clergy
were employed in forming along tbe
road between tbe entrance of the ceme-
tery and tbe door of the chapel. Tbe
different pall-bearers then ranged them-
selves in order to receive the coffin and
to take tbe pall, and as soon as they
had done this, and tbe mourners, clergy,
and committee had taken their places in
tbe rear, tbe Rev. J. Brookes, who bad
previously met tbe coffin, began to read
tbe funeral service, and to move into the
chapel. Immediately after, the gates of
the cemetery were closed, and the gentle-
men who had followed the hearse filed off
to the gate at tbe top of Hope-street,
where accommodation had been pre-
viously prepared for them.
As the body was proceeding from the
chapel to the grave, the weather, which
had been most unfavourable during the
whole of tbe morning, suddenly changed,
and a bright gleam of sunshine flung its
radiance over the moving train.
Tbe vault is twelve feet deep, and the
lower part Is cased all round with iron.
A heavy lid of the same material was
placed over the eoAn. Nothing eoaU
he more impusing and magnificent than
the coi9» tTml around the place of Intec^
ment. It is at the bottom of a dell»
about 60 feet below tbe ordinary level off
tbe streets of Liverpool. On the east b
seen a solid mass of masonry, with fbor
different tiers of galleries diTergini^
from a centre, and running one above
the other to the two extrenitiet of the
cemetery. Each of these tiers was filled
with respectable people, habited in deep
mourning, and to prevent the deeomm
of the ceremony from being interrapted
by individuals passing and repaning»
boards were erected at various plaeea to
stop tbe usual communication between
them. Above were the people oat-
side tbe railing ; and above them again^
houses and scaffoldings, covered with
spectators. To the south a double gal-
lery was filled in a similar manner. Oo
tbe west the scene was still more pictn*
resque, as the bank rises gradually till
it comes to a double tier of terraees, and
is then surmounted by tbe beaatifal
cluster of trees which crown St. Janiet*a
walk. Every accessible point iti this
direction was occupied by ladies and.
gentlemen of tbe first families in Livei^
pool. Tbe whole mass of people in the
cemetery was nearly immoveable. Their
numbers must have been nearer S0,009
than 15,000 persons. It is impossible
to convey any adequate notion of tbe
effect of the spectacle thus exhibited, in
a spot where art and nature have eom-
bined together to produce one of tbe
must picturesque and imposing scenes
that the imagination can conceive.
A subscription for a monument, to be
erected over the place of interment, is
now in progress.

tlM of Roman CathoUct to the adminis-
tration of iuttice), be entitled to the
ctlecm of mankind ; then, indeed* un-
feigned regret for the too early removal
of a character so estimable, cannot but
be general.
Shortly after Mr. Ferrers bad succeed-
ed to hto hereditary estates, he was in-
duced (about the year 1809) to accept
the command of a company in the War-
wickshire militia. His promotion proved
unusually rapid ; for in little more than
two years, we find him ranking as Ma-
jor. During his long services in that
regiment (which were continued till his
death) he acquired the love and respect
of the whole corps. With a high spirit,
and invsriable gentlemanly conduct, he
knew how to preserve discipline in the
field ; while, on less formal occasions, in
the daily routine of social intercourse
with his brother officers, no one was
more remarkable for unassuming man-
ners, or an uniform display of courtesy
and temperance.
Notwithstanding the troublesome un-
certainty and inconveniences inseparable
from a military life, Mr. Ferrers had the
good fortune (on the eleventh of March,
1813) to contract a matrimonial alliance
equally honourable and propitious, with
the Lady Henrietta -Anne, second daugh-
ter of George second Marquis Town-
shend i with whom, to the latest period,
be continued to enjoy uninterrupted
connubial felicity; and by whom he has
left a numerous offspring, of such ten-
der age, as to be, as yet, but imperfectly
aware of their privation.
In a man of the Major's sterling good
sense, adventitious circumstances, the
gifts of fortune, or a genealogy exhibit-
ing a long line of illustrious ancestry,
produced none other than the most sa-
lutary influence $ for, while he traced, as
emblazoned on the windows of his an-
cient hall, a direct descent from the he-
roes of the Norman Conquest, and inter-
marriages with not a few of the highest
families of England; these accessaries
•erved not to foster a sickly vanity, but
rather, as it were, to kindle in his breast
the laudable ambition of embodying in
their representative, so far as might be,
an unimpaired yet perfectly unostenta-
tious pattern of the ** vera nobiliiat,*'
Whatever cause Mr. Ferrers espoused,
was sure to engage his earnest atten-
tion I and never did be lend his aid to
any which his conscience could not
strictly approve. During the late gene-
ral election, bis active zeal might pos-
sibly have overstepped the bounds of
prudonce. in truth, it is much to be
j/iyirebeiideil^tbat bis able and sticoeas-
fttl efforts to serve bis near relativv, the
noble candidate for the borough of Tarn-
worth, might have aeeelerated the fatal
termination of previous iadispusitioii.

Obituary.— Mr. Isaaa.'^Mr. Sherwin.
Royalty Theatre, portQaded the subject
of our memoir^ to make his Arst entrtf
on that occasion; when he acquitted
himself with such eclat^ that the mana-
l^ers enfai^ed him for the remainder of
the season. From that Theatre he was
transplanted to the Sans Pareil, where
he remained for three years, and hecame
a deserved favourite. From thence he
accompanied Mr. Eiliston to the Circus,
where he attracted the attention of Mr.
Arnold, under whose banners he enlisted
in 1816. From the Enf^lisb Opera
House, the step to Covent-Garden was
not very far distant, and ha was speedily
engaged by the Conductors of that
establishment for five years, at a liberal
•altry.
Mr. Isaacs was very successful as a
bass singer, and always respectable as an
actor. Latterly he was most unfor-
tunate—bis health having been rapidly
declining, he was attacked with an affec-
tion in the eyes, which deprived him
entirely of sight, and consequently ren-
dered him un6t to fulfil bis engagements
at the theatre. His brother actors, much
to their credit, stepped forward in' bis be-
half, and a number of them (among the
rest, Mr. Egerton, Mr. Rayner, and Mr.
Abbot) formed themselves into a com-
mittee for the purpose of getting up a
benefit for his relief. l*he proprietor of
the Hay market Theatre willingly gave
the use of the house, on the 18ih of Ja-
nuary last. Mr. Wood, Mr. Keeley,and
Madam Vestris, performed. in the opera
of Sublime and Beautiful ; and Mr. Faw-
cet, Mr. Wrench, and Miis Fuote, in A
Roland for an Oliver ; Mr. W. Farren,
Mr. Harley, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Rayner,
in fthort, the principal perfurniers now
at Covent Garden, or wbo have lately
been connected with that theatre, lent
their assistance gratuitously on the oc-
casion. The Jews also showed great
liberality, and came forward on behalf
of one of their tribe in such crowds that
the house was, shortly after the opening
of the doors, crowded to excess. At a
subsequent meeting of the committee,
it was stated that the amount of the
funds, after deducting expenses, was
3201. and that the committee had thought
proper to allow Mr. Isaacs 3/. per week.
His death ensued from a fit which seized
him when in bed, notwithstanding the
prompt medical assistance of Mr.Sniccb,
who immediately bled him to a large
extent. Mr. Snitch, together with Mr.
Beaman, who also rendered his assist-
ance, were of opinion that the fit origi-
nated from chronic disease, which had
long been affecting the brain, and
which was connected with the state of
blindnesa with wbieh the
been afflicted.

tion, and from whence ,he was aant to

tended him for the medical piofesalon,
and he directed his attention to that
study, partly in London, and panly In
the University of Ediuburgbt during a
space of five years. Wearied* however,
by its tediousnessy or lured, in eoninoa
with numbers, by the fascinations of a
theatrical life, be forsook the study of
Fyfe's Anatomy to improve his ac-
quaintance with the Thane of Fyfe.

cums I and where the Pharmacopsia
ought to have been found, was perceived
Who Wants a Guinea, or The Road to
Ruin.
He made his appearance on the York
Stage in July, 1818, to the complete
satisfaction of Mr. Mansell, the then
Manager, with whom he remained Qplay-
ing with success at Leeds, Hull, Shef-
field, &c.) nearly two years. He quitted
the York circuit for Birminghaniy under
Mr. Bonn's management, and ccmtinned
there until the Theatre was burnt down,
on which occasion be lost bis wardrobe.
He was then engaged by Mr. Brunton,
for Brighton ; but there the best rustic
characters were in the possession of
an admired performer, Mr. MalUnson.
With that gentleman be divided some of
the low comedy, and sustained also the
principal old men with entire success.
At the expiration of the season, he re-
joined Mr. Bunn at Leicester, and cmi
the erection of the new Theatre at Bir-
mingham, re-appeared there with all bis
former popularity. On February. 14,
1 823, he appeared on trial at the Theatre
Royal Drury-Lane, in the part of Dandie
Dinmont, in Guy Manuering, and was
immediately engaged on liberal condi-
tions for three seasons. His personation
of Yorkshire characters obtained for him
a respectable standing amongst ** his
Majesty's servants i" but his irregulari-
ties were such as to induce the man^^r
to dispense with his service ; hut being
of active mind and eccentric habits, he

MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr. Urbik,
L have to ackoowledge t great oversight
at p. 838 b. where 1 have said that the
Docti et Prudentts aecm Iq have become
■ahamed of their laiinixit^ on Prepositions.
I see froni Crito Caat^rigitnsisy p. 91,
that I have no ground for saving or him,
SrubuUt salva ra est, I shall be read/ to
go with Crito over the whole of (he lecture
that he has received from Emiya. In thp
mean time, I ani contented with the passage
which he himself prodocesy Apoc. v. IS,
Whatever he may decide respecting the
MSS. which give the reading that is reject-
ed by Wetiten and Griesbacn, I am ready to
take for the Montfort, on 1 John, v. 7$ 8.
For I did nut contend that it gives every
word according to the autogra{>h of the
apostle. I merely undertook to let the
world see what tbieir depeodance b, when
they mutilate their Bibles on the anthority
of uur six article Latinizers. 1he reader
will see that 1 reckon upon Crito's lenity
for nut applying tbe e.ipiosa fabula de
Grmcis codicibus tatinizafitUus, at Rev. v.
18. What may be the reading of the Mont-
fbrt there I know not; as both Wetsten
and Griesbach, who give tbe MS. on ail
(he other parts, omit it on ReveUtions.
Fhancis Huyshb.
%• We are obliged, by this Corre-
spondent's consent, to withdraw from our
publication (on account of the pressure of
otiier articles which demand insertion) his
copious remarks on the Britannic MS. of
Eiasmns, on the Oltobonian of Scholie,
and on the Complutensian edition ; not
doubting they will soon meet the public
eye through a more soiuble medium.
A. C. C. says, ** An Old Subscriber, who
inquires, p. 390, for the situation of the
river TeogVio, mentioned in < Pollok's Course
of Time,* is referred to a much better known
poem * Thomson's Seasims,' fur the re-
quisite iuformation. Thomson mentions
Lapland as the scene
< Where pure Niemi's fitinr summits rise,
And fring'd with roses Tenolio rolls his
stream,
referring at the same time, in a note, to some
French travels, which represent Lapland as
a perfect paradise in the course of iu short
summer.'*
Dilettanti, in reply to G. M. says,
** that gisl is the old shape of the French
gtt, from the verbgcnr, to lie. The Ci git
of the old French epitaphs was written Ci
?\st, as we find in old books Pr^re, spelt
restre; bdtel, hostel; £tre, estre; dit,
dist ; &c. The French cspression ' Toot
gll en cela,* is equal (o ours, * That is (ha
gist of the thing :* so (hat giU means (he
/ywV '*'' ^'^o^'V ^ * thing, or the point
upon which it Uet or bears, Qnvamah
bnrthen or weigH, la nearly syaonymooa
with it."
An Old CoRiEiPONDBirr remarks, <* A
Svnopais of the Irish Peerage, on (he plan
or Nicolas's excellent book, was sonse time
since announced from the pen of Sir W.
Bctharo — has it been abaodonrd ? A naw
edition of Nicolas's ia much wanted, to
rectify some few errors and omissions to be
cipected in a 6rs( adidon ; for instance, (ha
(iues of Earl of Tipuerarv and Baron of
Arklow, peerages of W United Kingdom,
are errooeoushr considered as IrUh peences.
The same Correspondent asks, « whetlier
titles merged in the Crown, are in the nature
of extiaet titles or not ? As to as English
peerage, the ciuestion is immaterial { but, aa
nis present Majesty was an Irish Peer aa
Earl of Munster, a point arises whether (hat
Earldom may be inserted in a new patent of
creation, as one of three extinct peemges
now required by law to legalize a new pro-
motion to an Irish dignity.— A Smfj of
King is stated to have existed at Fcatner-
cock Hsil in Yorkshire, temp. Q. Elix. or
earlier ; query, where can any particulars of
that (amilv be found ? the late Bishop King
was of a Vorkshire family."
P. H. enquires, *< who was the author of
a Poem written iu blank verse, and divided
into four books, which he has heard attributed
to Bishop Lowth, entitled * Choheleth, or
the Royal Preaeher,' published anonymously,
Lond. 1765, 4to. and inscribed to King
George III.? Dr. Lowth was bom 1710,
but not elevated to the Bench till 1766.**
L. says, « Any particulars reUtive to the
late General Haviland, and his fiunily coo*
nections, in addition to those In vol. lit. p.
719, will be thankfully received. It is pre-
sumed that the Christian name of Mrs.
Haviland was Salisbury, that she was sister
of Mrs. Townley Balfour, and mother of
Mrs. Ruxton Fitzherbert, both of Ireland."
The communication of AcADBMtcoi ia in-
admissible.
P. 968, fir Viscount Tdllamore, read
Lord Tullamore; fir — - Blaney, read
Hon. Cadwallader-Davis Blayney.
P. S70, for Earl of TJbot, read Earl
Talbot i fir Lord Clarino, read Ckrina.
The Iste Lord Clarina had but one brother,
an elder one ; he died unmarried, and conse-
quently '* Richard Massey, Esq." could not
be the late Lord's *' nephew."

Carretpondence of Foiitey €nd Baron de Grimm. [Nov.
vatoAjt and thtt «ft«r having nwA» to many
prajen for a tflory which I beHtve iMeful to
nuinanitj, it is painiul to me to 6nd that I
have only illusions to re«rat. Volkey,
Ex' Deputy to ike National Anemlly
of France in 1789.
This decided step on the part of
Volney gave rise to two pamphlets,
one ot them published under the name
of PeiretkM, the other under thai of
Grimm. The first 1 hare not seen,
and only know that it is mentioned in
a biographical article in the Diction-
naire Ilistorique. The second however
has been carerull^ preserved by his
enemies. M. Barbier, the editor of the
Correspondence of Grimm and Dide-
rot, reprinted it in 1883, in the Sup-
plement to the work, as well as VoU
oey's own letter. Some attribute the
actual authorship of this answer, pub-
lished under Grimm*s name, to Count
Kivarol, a writer of some talent, but
now principally known as the founder
of a good French dictionary, which
goes by his name. He was a royalist,
wrote in favour of the monarchy, and
emigrated into Prussia. Baron orimm
was equally opposed to the Revolution,
but seems to ha^e escaped the convic-
tion that the principlet he had espoused
and maintained were the cause of its
wont features. However, it is agreed
upon that Volney made no reply ; and
it is impossible lo read it, without own-
ing that it has been justly termed tme
sangianie reponse.
From M, the Baron de Grimms Agent t\f the
Affairs qf her Imperial Mqjesty of the
Russias at PariSf in reply to the Letter of
M. Ckasselauf de VoUmfj dated Decem-
ber A, 1791.
CobknUt Jan. 1, 1799.
I have reotlwed yoor long letter, my dear
Vulney, and the little gold medal which I
had granted you, after many solicitations,
and nuuay letters written ny you to my
friends, who hold themselves bound to pro>
duce them, if yon wish it. Not for yonr
sake who are well aware of it, hot for that of
the public, it is necessary to explain to you
what these gold medals are, which have
been given, in the name of her Imperial Ma-
esty of tlie Kus«ias, to the pampldctecrs of
'aris.
Her Majesty loves literature, and wisbes
to encourage it : she knows that little gifts
coming from her hand may have the effect of
developing ulent, by exciting emulation.
She accepts with sufficient goodwill all the
books that are presented her. It is true
sfcaS she reads only the good ones, but
Bometimea iht pup for the bad : such de-
tails are beneath her consideration s the total
only has engaged htr regards for a mooMBtt
and she has granted her ministers at foreign
courts permission to dbtribute these encfw-
aagements in her name, to the young men
whom they consider as deserving then.
This her determination is of the 15th of
Marehy 1770. See, my dear Volney, whas
the unblic must be given to understaiid,
that It may no longer wonder at the medal
. with which I boooared you. The wrong I
did in giving it you is small, bat atili the
blame belongs to me. You told me thai
you had so much talent! that yoa wroc*
sueh excellent books ! It was my fiiiilt tu
believe you on your word. But, on the
other hand, you wbbed my SovereiKn'.ao
moch socoees in her war against the TuricSa
tlmt your wbhea were well worth a medal ;
so that I cannot even now repent of liaviag
conceded it to yoor preeeing solicitationa.
To-day, my dear Volney, yon send it mm-
backi in truth, if I might dispoee of it* I
should present it to Count de Rivarolt wko»
if I had listened to him, would have hiftder-
ed me from thus committing myself on your
account. Placed as he was for several years
on the observatory of the republic of letten,
he sets his microscope to discover and make
known the grubs of literature ; such a man
eould not be but useful to my Sovtreigny to
hinder her agents from disposing so impro-
perly of the little medals. But in your
letter of the 4th of December, you ghre
yourself some airs which I will not paaa by.
You desire that your name may not be
found m the list (^ her Mi^tv s mnni-
fioences : to feed one's self on such an idea,
requires all the vanity of a somU anthor.
Be assured, my dear Volney, that wlien her
Majesty, or one of her aeents, grants a
golden crown-piece, so much importance is
not attached to the circumstance at Peters-
burg, as to record it in the archives j and the
f»roof positive which I can give yon of the
iitle importance attached to these gifts, is,
that you have one of them ! Annual gifts or
pensions are registered, but it u her Impe-
rii Maiesty herself that gives these t and
no one knows better than yon do that yon
have no chance of obtaining such a favour.
It is not easy to divine the motive which
could lead you to take to ridiculous a step
toward me, and which you well know can
ouly be thought anything of in the Fau-
bourg St. Marceau. But, as I know you, I
have comprehended you quickly enough.
You wish to make yourself talked of, my
dear Volney, to renew your ties with tltt
Jacobins, or roske yourself paid by the mo*
narchicals who dispose of the civil list.
Your breast-plate is too short. If you bad
been pleased to consult me, I would have
advised you against such an oversight, which
carries you precisely where you would not
be : it brings von to awake in the public

drnouDced to the Nttional Att^mUj tlitt
thr«e uf iu menbert w«re tnlil ti) the Mi-
nnur, and that one iif iu runaways wu the
fiery reiiublican Volney ; and he called
Ibrtli a decree which )>ut an end for ever to
the«e ignomioioiu deiertion». What a clat-
tert here was! 'I'hey would have it that
the decree thnuld have a retroactive effisct
to reach M. de Volney; for the Duke de
Biron, without waitiof; for the decree, had
reiigoed his place of Governor of the Isle of
Corsica. MM. Lecouteulx and Nourissart,
•anounced that tliey should follow his ex*
ample. Last came M. do Volney* and he
only opened bis mouth to cover himself
with disgrace. He declared plainly fBuUetin
de fAssemblie Nalionale, du M Janvier, p.
7), that ha should oppose the retroactive
effect of the decree } tnat it was true he had
ubuineJ two places from the Minister ; that
he well knew it was impouible to be at once
both judge of the Ministers and their subal-
tern, but that his choice was made, and
that he would resign his quality of deputy.
You know what the eonieqiience of this
speech was, and what tremendous hisses fol-
lowed it. The prohibitive decree was pro-
nounced. Bat as it possibly might not
have a retroactive power, my Volney rune
beadkmg on his disgrace ; he sees MM. Le-
oontenlx and Nourissart resign in form, the
97th of January i he hears the applausea
with which they are greeted, and my dirty
follow resists. He struggles, and cannot
part with hit prey ; but the Minister, who
sees no nie in leavine it to him, threatens to
take it away. On tlie other side, the Ja-
coMos menace him with that fotal lamp-
post, with which Mister Volney not long-
since menaced the Nobles of Anjou. At
length, the fi9th of January, not daring to
appear in the Assembly, he writes the poorest
and meanest of letters, and resigns his inten-
dancy. For this letter, see the Proems-
Vierbal de CAuemlUe Nationale, of the 9.9th
Jan. 1790, p. 7. This disgraceful and tardy
proceeding was received with a cold silence :
It might have sunk into oblivion, if the
mischievoosness of the Abb^ Lttyl had not
demanded and obtained its entry in the
proces-verbal.
Such are the facts, my dear Volney ; and
since the loss of twelve thousand livres of
income, as there remained only eighteen
livres a day to you as a deputy, h«ve you
quitted the Assembly, as you vowed to do,
on Jan. 96, whatever its decision might be ?
Oh no! These eighteen livres a day are
better Uian nothing, and you remained there
till the elose. And this is the man who
sends back to Grimm a golden crown-piece !
£h, my friend, you had letter keep it ; it
was always thus. In losing it, you will
fin<l that neither side will buy you.
Your letter is even Ijelow the mediocrity
pf jour Pthwr production§. You call the
Kiag'a brothen, and l/ie French nublesi
rebels. Truly they are injured mco ; they
are pillaged, insulted, bamed| and asauM*
nate«l ; and they revolt against the heads of
a faction where the crcat Volney holds the
place of a labourer. You call iliem^enwnr'
men; you know yourself there, mj dtar
Volney ; but nevertheless, these penretBt
men give all their remaining foods to the
King's brothers, withoot demacdiac a gcHdn
crown-piece of any one ; they hold neithtr
lotendant's or Inspector's places, nor b any
meanness imputed to them. Yon term them
mnuUural men. Truly If it is natnnl, thai
a Volney should have Intendanoe of 0,000
llvrM, with ao Inspectonhip of the iaasa
sum, and must have as much to take bim to
Corsica, these sentry, who will not toleiala
such a state or things, or any thing that
comes near to it, are vastly uwuliiral, and
I assure you that they will not tolerate It.,
I know well the difficulty of yoar position i
and the dote of yoor letter, when put lato
its proper meaning, expresses it well enough
— " Af^r so many prayers for a RevohiHoH,
which I believed to be fir my imieredp it is
Giiuful to have only illusions to fegrBt*"
ere is, I make no doubt, fhr lanpagn of
your heart : but have some regard for elrenn-
ataaoes. All the world cannot dbpoae of
itself so well as your firiead Cabaais ; he is a
ohysician, and Mirabeau was his patient.
rhrough Heaven he cured him speedily, to
tlie great satisfaction of his employciB. I
acknowledge this to be a masterly stc^ ;
so he has praised him afier his death. Wo
must agree that he had great obligiUioBs to
him.
Before I finish thu letter, tell me, mj
dear Volney, do you feel thoroughly the
unworthiness of your position? What!
when a man of your partv. Jacobin or Mo-
narchist, desires a little Matf one need only
examine his life to discover a thousand traits
of meanness and infamy ! You tell me that
your Brissot de Warville is a good republi-
can ; true, but he was a spy of the police
under M. Le Noir, at 150 livres a moath.
I defy him to deny it, and I add that lie was
turned out of the police, because M. de la
Fayette, who was then beginning to plot,
had corrupted him and taken him into his
service. You quote your hack witness.
Mister Morel, the assassin of Favru j but
he has been twice in gaol at the Bic^re,
and once it was for unnatural crimes. You
never cease to speak of the devotedness of
M. Manuel, Solicitor to the municipality of
Paris, a man who has been six moolhs at
the same prison, for an act of larceny. How
fittal are all these recollections! Believe
me, you had better procure a decree, on the
motion of the Abh^ Fauchet, that the me-
mory of past time is an aristocracy, and that
to speak of it is an act of incivism. Adieu,
my dear Volney^

he preferred the Latin poetry of Cow-

have ever equalled Gray's celebrated

It is not strange that the English lilc-

modern Latin poetry would be very
instructive. Two centuries ago were
published Delidm of the Lalin pocu

from the very best of all these, with
due notes, would be very acceptable.
Some of the lyrical specimens from

profoundly imliucd with classicaliiy
ihat they Ihaugkt in Latin ; and when
Johnson said of Gray thai it were tn

exiravagnni. It is a mighty advantage
of writing in Latin, that the author
addresses himself lo the scholars of
every country.

THE following account of the Nobi-
lity of Venice, which I acciden-
tally perused in Moreri*s Dictionary
aome short time since, appears to me so
interesting, that I make no apology for
sending it to be reprinted in yourMa-
sazinc, as an acconipniment to the
lately published history of the Nobility
of Gfenoa (see pp. ig5, 298).
Oflhe Veneiian Nohilify.
** It is divided into four classes 1 the
first contains the families of the twelve
Tribunes, who were the Electors of the
first Doge of the Republic, who by a
sort of miracle have been preserved
from the year 709 (that of the election)
to the present day.*
" These twelve houses,cal1edEIectoral,
are the Contarini, Morosiiii, Budouari,
Tiepoli, Micheli, Sanudi, Gradenighi,
Memmi, Falieri, Dandoli, Polani, and
Barozzi. After these twelve Electoral
families are four nearly asantient, hav-
ing signed the contract of foundation
of the abbey of St. George the Greater,
with the twelve preceding houses, in
the year 600. These are the Jusliniani,
Cornari, Bragadini, and Bembi.
" There'are also eight other very an-
cient houses, who rank amongst the
Nobles of the first class, namely, the
Quirini, the Delfini, &c. The second
Order of Venetian Nobility is for the
families of those who began to be writ-
ten in the Golden Book, or Catalojjue
of Nobility, when the Doge Gradenigo
esiablisheu the Aristocracy, or Council
of Chiefs, in 1289; and as there are
several centuries thai these houses have
existed, their Nobility is much esteem-
ed. In this rank are the Mocineghi,
* 1753.
Capeli, Foscariniy &c. The third clan
of Nobility comprehends about eiahty
families, who have bought their I^o-
bility at the price of 100,000 docati,
paid to the Republic, to enable them
to carry on their wars against the Turks.
These Nobles have no part in the high
offices of the Republic There ira
fourth sort of Nobility which the Re-
fkttblic gives to princes, or persons il-
nstrious for their merit. Henry the
Third and Henry the Fourth of France
were thus added to the Venetian No-
bility. Almost all the princes of Italy
have thus wished to be received as No-
bles of Venice. The princi|>al families
of Italy who possess this title are, the
Pio, Malahestes, Beniivoglio, Marti-
nen^ues, Collaltes, Benzoni, and Sa-
votnians.*'
Since the preceding extract was writ-
ten, this passage has heen met with in
Sinclair's Autumn in Italy in 1897*
"The Nobility is divided into foar
classes ; and it is not a little surprisii^
that until within a very few years, li-
neal descendants of all the twelve Tri-
bunes of the first class, who elected the
first Doge in the eighth century, were
in existence. Even the second class,
tlmse whose names are foand in the
Golden Book of the Aristocracy, esta-
blished in 1389, IB, with very few ex-
ceptions, more ancient than our oldest
English Nobility, and yet this isoneof
the newest states of Italy. Such is the
comparative antiquity of different coun-
tries, or rather families."
I hope shortly to send you some par-
ticulars of the extraordinary wealth of
the Genoese Nobles.

assblance, and that of the Churcb-

this good work was efftcted in the
midst of a dense and increasing popo-

hfiiise and n school-room have been
built close to the new church.
John Wesley's celth rated school (an
intcrtsling account of which may be
seen in his Life by Soulhey) is within
the limits of thiidistrict.
The new Church will contain ac-
commodation for 3T0 persons. In addi-
tion to 830 before provided. The old

reauire thorough reparaiion. The pa-
risliioners having resolved 10 do it with
enlargement, were enabled lo carry their
resolutions into effect, by a loan with-
out interest, obtained from the Church-
building Commissioners, which the
chapelry is to pay off by raie in ten
years; also by a lulwcnplion in ihe
neighbourhood, and a grant from the
Church-building Socieiy.

Mr. Ube
J»er<
WiUi. Srpl- 6,
YOUR kindness in inserting my
former letter on the Corruptions
of the English Language, has induced
me to offer you another.
The causes which have brought on
these corruptions arc — Isi, a mixture of
nations by conquest; 2nd, a want of
new words, felt by the learned on the
cxleusion of the sciences and arts ; 3d,
ihe carclessoessof translators; and 4th,
the pomp of smatlerers, who are fond
of pulling forth scraps of several lan-
guages, which ihej -BwiVA W \V.Qu,^x.

does honoai to iht n«&on^ ateft,TO»
394
CorruptioM of tht EnglUh Language,
[Not.
excellent works of g^niuf or art, it
may be worth while to inquire how
far those causes might have been with*
stood, and how far their effects may
yet be overcome.
The Brst cause is certainly irresisii-
hle: ouicomen bring their own lan-
guage with them ; and where there is
a mixed population* there will be an
impure speech ; so that it is not of that
furvi<;n branch which the Normans in-
grafted on the Teutonic stock of our
mothvr tongue, that we have to treat.
To the second cause I would not
yield so readily. That the English did
want new words as they found out new
facts in science, or acquired new works
of art, is clear enough : but if they had
bi*en anxious to keep tlie purity of
thrir language, it would have given
them as ^ood combinations as those
ihey borrowed or made up from others.
UnfortunaicU', while Greek, and the
languages ot the Latin family have
been studied with particular care, Ger-
man, and other Gothic dialects, which,
(from having a like origin, throw light
on our own,) have been almost wholly
neglected ; and as writers, in filling
tl>e deficiencies of their language, bor-
rowed or copied only from such others
as they knew, English has been losing
its Gothic character ever since the re-
vival of learning ; but I really believe
that when German and other Teutonic
dialects begin to be studied by our
writer?, many of the Grecian and Ita-
lian additions that have been made to
the Gothic structure of the English
toneue will be put aside, and that it
will be restored, in true antiouarian
taste, to a state of consistency with the
original plan.
The German language, which has
not (like ours) been withdrawn from
its (jothic mother, and nursed from
tongues of a different family, has
grown to maturity in such strength
and symmetry as are not often out-
done; giving us a Bne example of what
ours might have been, if fostered in a
like manner, and convincing; every
man vi ho reads a page of High Dutch,
that to say the hnjrlish language will
not give good combinations, is to state
a verjT great error.
So ill suited for the author's use was
English thoucht little more than a
century ago, tnat writings of that age
▼ery often hobble along on alrernate
sentences of Latin and English, like a
wan with a woodtn leg; but w\i\\
this difference, that the writer consi-
dered the dead member (Latin) ttic
stronger and the better.
The third cause of corruption that I
named was the carelessncu of transla-
tors. From not attending oloadj (o the
difference of idiom between the origi*
nal language and thetr own, they often
brinf; over their autlior*a words inttcwl
of his meaning i and repeat hia expres-
sions, instead o( seeking their equals in
English. In short, they make him
teem what he really is ; a foreigner
speaking English ; and (at if he did
not know the English names of many
things which are as common to at as
to himself,) speaking a broken English
by using words and expreatioBt of his
own mother tongue.
It is often said thai this or that ex-
pression cannot be given In English,
because we have no equivalent for it ;
an assertion which it in nunj cases
groundless; because, for ibinp that
are common to any several nations, of
course those nations have words t
though we cannot suppose that Eu-
ropeans found a name lor the Kanga-
roo before they found tlie animal j or
that we can trace the word orange to
the old British lansua^, rather than
to the Vascuence in Spain.
Somebody once observed that no
Frenchman could be good-natured,
because for good -nature the French
had no word. By like reasoniof^ we
should find that the English can never
be about to do an action because they
have no future participle, as the Latins
had : that they have nothing large in
its kind, becaute they have no augmen-
tives, like the Italians; and that they
can never keep repeating an action,
because they have not the iterative
branch of verbs, as the Russians. But
the answer to all this is, that we treat
these aiul many other things in a diffe-
rent way; a fact that every translator
should bear in mind.
From the unwillingness of transla-
tors to 6nd English idioms and words
for foreign ones, we have such expres-
sions as *' mis hors da combat,*' sent
out of the battle ; " in petto,'* in one's
heart; " ennui," listlessness, &c. ; and
I saw an instance of this feeling, tome
time ago, in a translation of a German
work, in which the idiom " Mit
verhaiigten zAgeln '' was given, word
for word, *• with loose reins," instead

ONE lovely evening in July 18f-»
while on a visit at Frescati, I
wandered into the little church where
the remaius of Prince Charles £d%rard
Stuart, commonly designated the Pie-
tender, I ie interred. The monument u
extremely simple, and indeed might
pass altogether unnoticed by the eye of
the English traveller, were it not for
the cast of the Brit'tsh arms with which
it is surmounted. I sat down on a
bench, and began indulging, as my
custom is, in one of my reflecting re-
veries. I pictured to myself the day of
his entry to Holyrood House, before
yet a battle had faieen fought, and none
had to mourn the loss of friends fallen
before his victorious arms. Young,
handsome, chivalrous, he came to the
land of his fathers, claiming the sup-
port of his countrymen for the repos-
session of his father's throne ; the dea-
perate enterprise' upon which he had
entered, the royal line whence he was
descended, a fine siill embalmed by
• *< And when they saw the darkmme
night," i. e. not one particultf night, but
night generally, which lu darksome; apt to
be dark : one particular night it or is not
dark. Tliis distinction shows the value of

THE ancients appear to have almost
invariably dedicated tome parti-
cular tpot to the administration wiotr
tice. And, from the fact of the He>
brew Judges sitting at the gates of
citiet, they obtained the name of ** El*
ders of the Gate."« In Zeehariab,t
the Jewish people are commaoded,
upon their restoration, to " execute the
judgment of truth and peace, in their
g«tes."
The Atlieniana selected a amali
easineoce, near Athent, for the teat of
the ** AreopagitSB. " It was teraied

because Mars wat supposed to have
been tried there for the murder of Hal-
lirothiot. At Granada in Spais, the
ttreet " Calle de lot Gomellet,'^ leads

soever you go, I will follow ! Ponish-
tnent always speedily follows crime I

In China, there is an old willow,
celebrated from the fact of the Empe-
ror Kang Vang having sal under tnis
tree, when he gave judgment upon the
differences of the labourers in agricul-
ture. Out of respect to the Emperor,
its branches were never cut. St. Louis
often used to sit under the shade of an
oak, in the wood of Vincennes ; when
all who had any complaint freely ap-
proached. At other timet he teated
himself upon a carpet spread in a gar-
den, and heard the causes which were
brought before him.||

mon. I veDture to believe that there
are no croM-legjged moQumeotal effigiet
which can be identified with any other
persons than those who had either un-
dertaken or performed the crusade. If
reverence for that symbol of Christian-
ity had been the motive for adopting
such representations, surely they would
not have been confined to miliury per-
sonSy but such only aie represented
with their legs crossed ; and I believe
never ecclesiastics. The notice given
of the Bradiug Monument reminds me
of a trivial anecdote respecting another
in the lale-of Wight, which I remem-
ber to have heard related by the late
Sir Richard Worsley. That Baronet
happened to visit the church of Gat-
combe (where many of his ancestors
were buried) in company with a gentle-
man whose mental faculties were un-
fortunately so much obscured that he
was commonly deemed insane (and
whose name on that account only is
suppressed) : and upon Sir Richard's
observing that he thought of displacing
an old carved wooden ngure, and caus-
ing a monument to be erected therefor
himself, the gentleman alluded to,
seeming to recover himself from a fit
of abstraction, instantly said, ** Then I
will make an epitaph lor you :
* When a taint it removed,
To make room for a tinner,
We'll bum one, to roeit t'other
For Beelzebub't dinner.' "
Which, from such a person, and on
such an occasion, was an impromptu
not readily forgotten.

Mr. Urban, London, Oci.22,
AT page 40 of the second edition of
Lady Fanshawe's Memoirs, re-
cently published, there is a note relating
to the descendants of Thomas Smythe,
Esq. of Ostenhanger in Kent, Farmer
of the Customs to Philip and Mary,
and to Queen Elizabeth ; and ancestor
of the Viscount Strangford.
I wish to be informed Iw the learned
and ingenious Editor or Lady Fan-
shawe's Autobiography, from what
branch of the familv of Smythe the
gallant Sir Sidney Smith derives his
descent. Notwithsunding the diffe-
rence of spelling in the names, it is to
be presumed that this highly distin-
guished officer mu$i be of the family of
Ostenhanger, a$ he givts precisely the
*^iue arms as that family, with the ad-
dition of an honourable augmentation,
granted to him in memory of his hmic
exploiu at Acre. I believe loo, that tn
the instrument recording this augmen-
tation, it was expressly acknowledged
by the competent authorities, that the
paternal arms of Sir Sidney Smith
were — As. a chevron engrailed be-
tween three lions passant gardant Or:
in other words, the very coat borne by
the Smythes of Ostenhanger, and by
the Viscounts Strangford. The same
arms are also used by Sir Sidney's bro-
ther, Mr. Spencer S. (formerly his Ma-
jesty's Minister at Stutgardt), who,
moreover, appears to have adopted the
motto of the Lords Strangford, viz. :
Firtut incendU vires.
As the note in Lady F.'s Memoira
professes to correct the erroneous state-
ments of Peerages respecting the fa-
mily in question, I thmk it desirable
that its connection with the heroic
defender of Acre should be fully ascer-
tained.

YOUR correspondent on Ossian,
(p. 223) says, that '' the chival-
rous events have been retained in oral
tradition, and all that Macpherson had
to do was simply to collect them." I
am old enough to remember this con-
troversy, and so far from their authenti-
city having been established by Dr.
Blair, his dissertation or essay went
only to the era of Ossian. Mr. Mac-
pherson always spoke of manuscripts,
and Dr. Johnson challenged him again
and again to show them, which he
never could do. In the second volume
of Dodsley's Fupritive Pieces (p. lig),
were inserted " Fragmenu of Ancient
Poetry, collected in the Highlands of
Scotland, and translated from the Gae*
lie or Erse language.'* These " Frag-
menu" first came out in 17()0. Mr.
Macpherson says, in the preface to
them, " that the diction in the original
is very obsolete, and differs widely from
the style of such poems as have been
written in the same language two or
three centuries ago ;" •' m a fragment
of the same poem, which the translator
has seen ; '* and further on he says,
" by the succession of these bards,

By what chance this '* Black Bnok"
etcaped from the vigilant custody of
the Mayor, those beat can tell who
know how such records are often kept;
viz. utterly nej^lccied, until some anti-
quary begs to be favoured with a

biy covered with dusi and half de-
stroyed by damp; and then, for the
first time, they are considered of such
value as not to admit of the gaze of
any eyes but such as are unable to read
them !
Hut to return to the said Black Book
of Winchester. On the verso of the
3 1st folio, is a curious inventory of the
effects of the hospital of St. John in
that city, taken in the time of Peter
Hulle, Mayor; which, without further
preface, I shall transcribe, for the
amusement of your Hampshire readers.

Some account of this Hospital may
be found in Miluer's Hist. vol. 2, p.
194; from which may be learned how
it came under the administratioD of
the city magistrates, and ita recent ap-
propriaiion as a council chamber of the
Corporation. I will only make a short
extract : " In the duti-hoh^ (writes the
historian) near the apartments of the
windows, amongtt other curioMs an*
iiquett is seen the figure of Si* John
the Baptist's head in the dish, being
the bust of the holy patron of the
house which formerly stood over the
principal doorway." In all probability,
this is the very head of alabaster speci-
fied in the above inventory.

THE erection of a splendid Mo-
nument in St. Mary's Church,
Shrewsbury, in memory of the late
Rev. J. B. Blakeway, M.A. F.SA.
one of the authors of "The History of
Shrewsbury,'* having been already
noticed in your Magazine, I herewith
send vou a notice ofa memorial which
has tnis day been completed to his re*
vered colleasue in the arduous la boon
of that invaluable work, which alone
would have carried their names down
to posterity by every true Salopian
with lasting honours; oeverthelesa it
is gratifying to see that Salopia*i wil-
low is thus snatched as it were fioai
the brink of her beauteous river, to
entwine a wreath to flourish around
their tomb, — a wreath which will
never fade, whilst Salopians estimate
their zeal in rescuing from destruction
and the hands of time the very few re-
maining monuments indicative of the
pristine splendour of their native town.
The memorial is erected on the
north side of the chancel of St. Ju-
lian's Church, over which parish the
Archdeacon presided with assiduous
attention to the welfare of his flock for
the s|)ace of thirty-five years.-^It is a

V. Thomas Goddard, gent." They
continued in the Martyn family for a
considerable period, and descended, if
I am not mistaken, to Henry Martin,
the author of several papers in the Spec-
tator.
The coat which appears impaled by
that of Sir Henry at Lnngworih, bears
some resemblance to Besil, and it it
highly probable that his wife was of a
Berkshire family, from the circum-
stance of his having invested the profiii
of his profession in lands in that
county.
The difference in the mode of spell-
ing the names, is shown in the books
of the Civil I^w Court, in 1596, when
Sir Henry signed his name with an i,
in his admission ; and again in the
books of the Inner Temple in l620,
when his son Henry (the Regicide)
was entered ; whereas in the same
books, in 1601, Edward the son of
Henry Martyn, of Upham, is entered
with a y, his father signing as one of
his sureties.
The Martyns of Oakingham were a
family of some antiquity in Berkshire;
their ancestor, John Martyn, having
been returned as one of the gentry in
1433. Many discrepancies exist as to
the history of Sir Henry Martin. In
one account he is stated to have been
born in the parish of St. Michael Ba-
singhaugh ; in another at Stoke in
Buckinghamshire. Le Neve (Harl.
MSS. 5801-2) gives him the same
arms as those on his monument, but
marries him to the daughter of
Weld, whom he states as dying in
1677* vvhile the monument at Long-
worth makes his wife die in 16I8 ;
and the pedigree of Weld, 3. D. 14,
mentions Frances the daughter of Sir
John Weld, as marryin*:; " Mar-
tyn, brother to Sir Henry Martin.'*
To add to the confusion, the Visita-
tion of Hants, 1544, Harl. MSS. gives
a strangely complicated coat, totally
unlike either of the coats abovemen-
tioned, to «« Martyn, Doctor of
the Arches.'* His will, a document
more to be relied on, names his niece
Frances, ** now serving me 5" son
Henrv; grandchildren Mary, Edmond,
and Margaret Martin ; W illiam Pu\-
len, " kinsman and auncient senrauti*'
son George Marien, daughter Edmonds,
and daughter Rogers; and alladct to

Screen of York Mimier.
INuv.
choly to Yiew so fair a building in
ruins, — the painted glass in holes, the
clustered pillars deTaced, the cosily
monuments mutilated, the floor broken
up, and all the evidences of extensive
<lestruction.
The discoveries under the floor of
the choir are very interesting, consist-
ing of a series of Norman pillare, the
remains of the crypt of a church more
•ancient than any part of the present edi-
iiee,eitheraboveor below ground. These
pillars stand within the space of those of
the choir, are very finely constructed,
ornamented in spiral liues, and have
amaller pillars attached to them for the
springers of the stone roof, which was
dTeatroyed with the Norman choir.
The new roof is on. It is a very
fine and correct piece of workmanship,
and is calculated to nroiect the build-
ing for many ages. Mr. Smirke may
be proud of this performance ; no liv-
ing^ architect could have executed a
more faithful imitation of the original.
It evinces the true spirit of restoration.
Every procurable authority was con*
salted ; modern taste was locked up t
but, alas! that monster broke loose
during the deliberations on the resti-
tution of the Choir, and destroyed the
harmony of the proceedings, lo speak
plainly; there are two parties, one urg-
ing the beauty of a new arrangement
in the Choir, the other defending the
old. It is my part to consider the ob-
ject and arguments of those on the
former side. Their first object is to
displace the entrance Screen, which
the architect of the choir fixed where
it now stands, doubtless choosing for
it the position best suited to the exten-
sive plan of his own church. Their
next object is to cut down the height
of the same screen, which the architect
of the Choir suited in proportion and
ornament to his noble building. The
plea of shoivin^ the great pillars, or
the great east window, to more advan-
tage by these injuries, is similar to the
excuse always urged when the altera-
tion of an ancient arrangement is pro-
pounded,— the opening of a pretty pros-
pect. But surely those who designed
York Minster were the beat judges of
its internal costume and effect. Nei-
ther its proportions, nor its beautiful
ornaments, were the result of chance
or accident. Indeed so correct is the
architecture in all these particulars,
tllat ibf J most have resulted from pro-
Sbaaditutfy, and from skill and talent
of the very highest order. It is evident
that the ancient architect never in-
tended to open the whole beauty of
the Choir to the vieiv of the oave. A.
screen was invariably (in this country
at least) placed before the entrance to
the Choir, and those featores which
from without are only imperfectly
seen, are, on passing tnis boondaiy,
fully displayed. The plan proposed
to effect this pernicious piece of no-
velty without altogether removing the
screen, is, as I have before named, to
cut off the upper part, and terminate
the stone-work just above the point of
the doorway ; the organ to be diMedt
so as to admit a view of the great cast
window between,— the same window
which is seen so much more advaiH
tageously after the screen hu becR
passed.
The affectation of showing the
beauty of the sreat pilbn, whira it b
boldly assertecTare injured by the gor-
geous screen, is truly astooishiiig.
Those who are so very anxioos to pre-
serve the beauty of the pillars^ aeruplt
not to dilapidate the screen— 4o rob it
of its just proportionsy dimioish its m*
naments, and reduce it to • mere
wreck: these mirrors of good
would be puxzled to prove that a
scriptive right to remain in its presenl
position, does iM>t as fully belong lo
the screen as to the pillars, or any
other constituent member of the Ca-
thedral. The able architect of anti-
quity thought proper to ^ive the great-
est possible breadth to his screen, and
he chose for it the most prominent si-
tuation ; and shall we who owe the
little we know of the architecture he
practised so well, to his own scientifie
works, — to the very buildings we ooa*
demn, the style of which has been
laid aside more than three centories,-—
shall we their humble imitators pre-
sume to assert that he decided wrong-
ly? Can we— who know neither the
origin of the style, nor the rule which
governed its various proportions— with
truth or modesty impugn the taste
v\ hich designed the plan of^ York Mins-
ter, or the talent which adorned the
least considerable of its constituent fea-
tures! The architect evidently consi-
dered that the more ample and promi-
nent the screen was made, the better
it would harmonize with the gigantic
dimensions of the church, and show
its 0WI1 exquisite enrich ments. A

■ Admisiloiu (by Mr. J. S. Burn the defen-
dants' attorney) were then ]iut in and read*
that the defendanu were publishers of the
Gentleman's Magazine; tnat the plaintiiF
was the compiler of the Kentish Genealo-
gH» i that plaintiff was the person alluded to
by the name of William Berry» &c. &c.
' The alleged liliel was pat in and read. It
contained some comments on the plaintiff's
Biblication» besides those read by Mr.
rongham, and pointed out a great number
of defects in tlie work.
* Major Hook stated that he accompanied
the plaintiff to diffierent families in the
county of Kent, for the purpose of procuring
from them particulars of their pedigrees.
This was after the publication of the first
part of the Kentish Genealogies. It was in
June last.
' The Attorney o EN BRA L— That wa» after
the action was brought.
Lord Tentbrdbn observed, that the niain -
tiff eonld not gire evidence t>f the fact of
any pedigrees being furnished to him subse-
quently to the commencement of the action.
Mr. Brougham then proposed to com-
pare the manuscript pedigrees with the plain-
tiff's book I Imt
. Lord Tenter DEN said, that would not
do. Non constat that the manuscript pe-
digrees were taken from tlie print. Tlie
nanuicriot pedigrees oonid only be made
evidence by showing that they came to liand
before the plaintiff's book was published.
Mr. Brougham said he was not in a situ-
ation to prove tliat fact.
Mr. Clement Taylor Smythe, of Maid-
stoncf a solicitor, and connected with the
Bargrave family, stated that, prior to the
publication uf the l>ook in question, he fur-
ntihed the plaintiff with several pedigrees,
some of which he had made out from his own
papers, and others from papers which had
been furnished to him by families to whom
ke applied.
£dm. Lodge, esq. Norroy King of Arms,
stated tliat he had been in theCollege of Arms
since the year 1784. The plaintiff was for-
merly employed there. V\ itness first knew
him there in the year 1793 or 1794. He
was there during the late Mr. George Harri-
son's time, and afterwitrds during Mr.
Svmonds's time ; in aJI about fifteen years.
Mr. Bigland was the Deputy Kegiiier to
Mr. w^)roon(ls. Witness should have called
the plaintiff the Register's clerk, or clerk
to the Register. The Register had no other
clerk.
One of the Jury asked the witness whe-
ther, if any one had come to the office and
inquired for ** tlte registering clerk," ha
should have referred him to Mr. Berry ?
Witness— I might, perhaps, have sent
h/ta ttt Mr, Jirrry, if it had occurred to in«
at the moment that lit «m wktk tm tW-Rt-
giater ; bnt U u very likdf i aliMiU Imt
sakl, « We baft no such offictr na
ing Clerk."
G. F. Belts, tM|. LtBtuitr Htnid,
produced 83 hooka of grants of aroHs &e.
and spoke to numerous tntritt U thii|
they were chiefly by tbt plaintiff. Tht
plaintiff, he said, had received njretrly atlaiy

Although tht chitt of the tntritt «trt hy

by himself (Mr. Belu).
Mr. T. J. Burt staled that bt fimiahtd
tbt plaintiff with a pedigree pritr to tbt
publication of the hook in qntatif.
Mr. "Berry, jus. the plaintiff 'a aoOf aUttd
that he was residing with his fiubtr tt tbt
time he was preparing tht first part of tht
Kentish Genfa/<^et, Had many cuamnni*
tions with |)ersons cmmtcltd with Ktatiah
fismiles, respecting tlieirpedigreea,aiid tbaj
furnished tne plaintiff with tlit ptrtitulait*
The pedigrees produced, together with wmaj
others, were printed in the first part of tht
work.
Cross- evamined.— -Tht peraona who fiv-
niahed tlie pedigrees came to the pitintiff '•
houst ; he only knew them by their owa hh
trodoctiun ; they came to his firtber'a btait»
and introduced themselvea aa ao and a«.
There were about a doien of tbemi. Thty
were all subscrilMrs to tht work.
Major Huuk proved the aigoatnres of
the members of several Kentish fiunilies to
the MS. pedigrees produced. He sUltdthat
he accompanied the plaintiff, after Uit prt-
sent action was brought, to several gende-
men who had furnished pedigreea* nir tbt
purpose of obtaining their signttures, atteet-
ing the fact.
Cross-examined — Had known the piMtttiff
about 7 years ; had only known him inti-
mately about 9 or 3 years. Knew that thia
acUon had been brought hy pluntiff befiirt
be went to obtain the sigutures.
Mr. Berry, jun. was recalled to provt
that his father's book had been highly
patronized.
The Attorney- GENERAL nddreaaed the
Jury for the defendanu. There had not, be
obferved, been the least tittle of evidence
produced in proof of Mr. Broogham's aseer-
tion that the defendants, or the writer tf the
article . complained of, were membtra of tbt
College of Arms ; although it had been in-
sinuated that the remaika nad been Btdt by
some uf those members. Tlmre ernn no evi-
dence that the defendants were tbt autboif
of the remarks alluded to in the rorttw ef

Io call the atteoticm of the Jury to tlioie
partt of the |nihIicatiOB which Mr. Brougham
nad not reafl» and amonctt othera to the ful-

nlphahetioallv, topof(raphica]ly» or chrooo-
leffically» with reference to the timeof compi-
laSon of such descents — a pedigree trsced 900
years siDce» oeenpying the same or following
pege as one compiled yesterday. Tbos« in
p. 1, is the pedijKree of a family named
' Matti' ending in Uie year 16i6» copied, we
prtsome» from the Harleian MS. 1106 or
14B% I bat whv such an oomeaning pedigree
commences tlm work, or, we may almost
•iqf, why such an unmeaning pedigree is in«
serted at alU we cannot discover. In p. i
and 8, we have a pedigree of the fiunily of
Bargrave, brought down to the present day.
In p. 4, we find a pedigree ending in 16 19*
In p. 6, we observe two short pedigrees
vUkout any date whatever ; and in this
manner is the whole volume put together,
lu pti 989 we have, .for the second time, the
pedigree of Mao, verbatim, as in p. 1. And
we may safely affirm, that the absurdity of
naay m the pedigrees b beyond description,
the book abounding with eotire genealogiei
■Maoetiooed by a single date from beginning
to end t eo that whether saeh pedigrees re*
lain to families flourishing before the flood,
or to the parvenus of latest origin, tlie
veader is not informed. Another defect of
BO small importance it the publishing a vo«
lume of pedigrees, of no possible utility un*
lem as a book of reference, without referring
to an authority for any one genealogy in the
work { and whether this has been done io-
tentionallv, or jgnorantly, it is much to be
reprehended. The ancient pedigrees in Mr.
Berry's work ought to have a re^reoce to
the manuscript from which they have l>een
transcribed, with some general account of
its author, its date, its character, and the
like; whilst modem pedigrees ought to
have been sanctioned by tlie name of the
party authorising their insertion." Tlie
learned counsel referred to the book, and
pointed out those fitcts to which some of
the above observations applied, and con-
tended tluit the whole article was written in
a spirit of fiur criticism* and without any in-
tention of maligning the plaintiff.
Lord TiNTBRDBNf in summing up the case
to the Jury, observed, that the question for
them to decide was, whether or not the
publication in question was one of which
(he plaintiff could justly complain, as ooa-
talning observations afieeting his personal
character. When a person published a work,
Ac Bubmisted It to /lub/ic criticism, and any
on0 hmd a right to miike observations upon ti
withoBt heiag suljcot !• bb actiiiB of KheL
Bnt if^ in the form of a.critaciem oa dM
work, he attacked the character of the •»-
thor, he was amenable for hb obeeiiatiuus
in an action of thu deecriptioa. The eon*
plaint made by Mr. Berry was, that the da>
tendants liad said that he had not filled the
office fif Registering Clerii in the College of
Arms ; and it waa quite clear from the evi-
dence that he had not, for there was bo saeh
office in that c<»rporatioB 1 bat there wsa aa
officer belonging to the college, calind the
Register, and Mr. Berry had heen dark ta
that officer. Thia was what the defbadesiU
had stated in their publicatioa. HieLordehip
then read the principal passagea in the af>
leged libel, and lefi it t j the Jury to eej
whether they contained nay thing faleeiv
ii^arious to the plaintifTs chaiaeter. If
they did, the plaintiff was entitled to a ver-
dict ; if not, the verdict mast be for tha
defendanu.

THERE are certainly tome wtrf
incorrect ftatements in the wors
entitled "Kentish Grenealogiet," irhich
has been forced peculiarly on the
public notice by tome extraordinary
proceeJings in the course of the preMrnt
month ; and thinking it of some im«
porta nee to what hands the public en-
trust the preparation of such a work as
a general Vicvr of the Genealogy of the
English Nation, for nothing lest than
this seems to be contemplated, I shall^
with your |)ermis8ion, lay some of these
statements before the public, in a man-
ner in which they will meet the pob*
lie eye.
1. We are told, d. 479, ^'^f* Nicho-
las Sidney, grandfather of Sir Henry
Sidney, KG. married " Anne, daugh-
ter and co-heir of Sir William Brandon,
knt., cousin and co-heir of Charles,
Duke of Suflolk.'* This lady was no
co-heir of Sir William Brandon, whose
co-heirs were the daughters of his ion,
Charles Brandon, the first Duke of
Suffolk. She was aunt and co-heir of
Charles Brandon, the third Dake of
Suffolk, who died a youth, his sisters
being only sisters of the half-blood.
8. At p. 351 we fmd £«lward Peke
marrying " Elizabeth, daughter of Ga>.
Wentworih, and heir to the Earl of
Strafford, ob. 169I.'' This is a most
extraordinary statement to be nude by
one who ought to be conversant with
the descents of our nobility, and is

THB HISTORY OF TIIUCVDIDES, TRANSLATED
BY a. T. BLOOM riELD, D.D. F.S.A.
(Conlimted from p. 393.)
IN our last number we had ad-
vanced as far, in our brief survey of
the principal contents of the venerable
Greek Historian, as c. 60 of ihe 2d
book. ' Dot before we proceed further,
we must somewhat retrace our steps,
in order to notice the merits of the
learned annotator im the latter part or
portion of the author just mentioned.
Our limits will only permit us to ex-
tract a few samples or the many mas-
terly annotations which occur in the
work.
At p. 101 is a note which will be
▼ery interesting to naval readers i in
which it is proved that the nautical
manoeuvre of overpowering an enemy's
fleet by cutting the line, was no new
discovery of Uoilney, but had been
acted on by the ancients. At p. 145,
we observe a note which will arrest
the attention of Jurists, on the avfj,-
0oXauai IUm of the Athenians. At p.
168-170, is a cluster ol notes peculiarly
interesting to antiquaries and archi-
tects, on the methoiU pursued in build-
ing the walls of Athens. At p. 180
is a conipU'tc refutation of one of the
most confident assertions of the re-
doubtable critic, Gilbert Wakefield;
which, therefore, it may be proper to
lay before our readers.
«< Gilbert VVakefield, in his Silva
Critica, pt. iv. p. 31, does not scruple
to accuse ail ihe Commeniaton of Thu-
cydides of gross ignorance, and directs
<rov ono-fMov to be understood of a ct'oiV
eommtftion. This he seeks to prove from

of various ancient authors. Besides

plainly distinguished from the insurrec-

lACurg. C. 28.; and Ciinon» c. I6.;
Pausan. 4, 24, 2.; Aristid. t. 1, 873,
B. & 3. 257 » 1). By Paiisanias, 4, 84,
2, the origin of the rebellion is rightly
ascribed to the horrible earthquake."
At p. 215 is a curious note. f«roving
that in Greece, at the time of the Pelo-
ponnesian war, the Templet were the
great natiomti banks, where alone mo-
ney or other valuables could be safehr
deposited, and from which it was al-
lowed to take what was indispensably
necessary to the defence of the state, so
that the same value were afterwards
faithfully returned.

from the evident opposition in ihe next

*• This custom, I suspect, was very
ancient, and introduced into Greece by
the Cadmscan colony from Egypt. And
probably it had been for time imme-
morial in use in the East, since it seems
to ha?e been carried from thence into
the earliest of all oriental colonies, the
one to America. See Humboldt's Re-
searches into the Monuments of Ame«

At p. 233, is a note interesting to
the anti(}nary, on the propriety of keep-
hig disunct the names Median and
Persian; and in tvhich are distin-
^ished the modes of dress which dis-
tinguished each nation. At p. 241 is

that, though somewhat long, «fe
not refrain from laying it befon
readers.
"The temple here mcntioiMi „^
the most venerated and cclebnoed ib
Sparta. The epithet Chalcicecoi^ «r
course, properly appertained to the
gpddesa ; but, by a frequent metonymj,
was often applied to the iempU. So
Liv;r,35,36; *JEtoIi circa ChaLcioeeoa
(MmervsB est templum aream) eon-

peculiarity in the building of the tem-

antiquaries arc at a loss to discover.
The Schol. supra 188, gives thrte opi*
nionsy the two first of which alooe de-
serve attention. 1, Either became it

solidity of the edifice. Thus the wutnu
aheneus esto of Horace 1 and so Zicb.
6, \, mountains qf brass. Of these two^
the former titeaig prefefaUe. From
Pausau. 3, 17, 3, we learo that it was
built (or formed) by Tyodareias. And
he seems to have thought that it had
been of brass, from his wordsat p. 321,
15, which are as (bUows: *That the
temple should have been of bnas is do
^reat wonder, since we know that Acri-
sius formed a braaen chamber ibr bb
daughter, and that the Lacedsamooians
had the temple of Chalcicecua^ which
remains to this day.' He akosays that
both the temple and the statue were of

of brazen buildings. To which it may
be added tliat Procop. p. 204, ult. says,

Livy, too, (ubi supra) seems 10 have
been of the same opinioo. Yet it is
difficult to believe this of any mora
than the M«y (cella) or sanctym sancto-
rum, at least if we ooderstand it of so-
lid brass. But I cannot help soaptcting
that the edifices in question were only
coated with brass plates. And, indeed.
Dr. E.D. Clarke, in his Travels, vol. iL,
153, and iii., 734, says that the Greeks
sometimes coated buitdings miik metal"

vesuges of them in the rains of the
gymnasium at Alexandria Troas; So
which I would add, that Livy, 1.41,20,
says the temple of Jupiter Capimlinus
had not only the roof of gold, but that
all the walls were plated with gold.
His account may be illustrated froui
Procop. p. 97, 92, who says that the

In the year 1801, a work was printed
(I believe not published) under the su-
perintcndance of Dr. A. Duncan, with
the following title: " Carminum rari-
orumMacaroniconim delectus, in asum
ladorum Appollinarium,'* Edinh.1801,
8vo. This, although it includes several
clever classical jeux-d'esprit, contains
scarcely anything strictly macaronic,
except the ** PolemoMiudinia,'* and a
burlesque diploma for Dr. Win. Suther-
land, written by Mr. Win. Meston,
Professor of Philosophy in the Maris-
chal College, Aberdeen, of which the
following IS a specimen :

] will wind up these macaronics with
a. provincial poem, founded on the pe-
culiarity of the Newcastle bur. It was
published in December 1791, as from
one of the rooks which then built their
nest on the vane of the Exchange, and
addressed to the good people of jBur-
castle :
« Rough roll'd the roaring river's stream.
And rapid ran the rain.
When Robert Rutter dreamt a dream,
Which rack*d his heart with pain :
He dreamt there was a raging bear
Ru«h'd from the rugged rocks ;
And strutting round with horrid stare,
Breath'd terror to the Brocks.*
But Robert Rutter drew his sword.
And rushing forward right.
The horrid creature's thrapple gor*d,
And bajrr'd his rueful spite.
Then, stretching fbith Us Vrawny arm
To drafc bim to the stream,
He ffrapuled grixila, rough and wara,
Whicii roax'd him from his draam."
I have at last come to an end of this
epistle, which has somehow crawled
out to an unconscionable length. I had
once a fancy for printinff in a small-
sized book some few of the best maca-
ronic works, with an idtTodoctiou
something similar to the foregoing let-
ter, and a portrait of the Porcine Poet,
with engravings of the battles, &c ; but

TH E remarks of your correspondeat
E. I. C. p. 218, on the represen-
tation of modern statuary figures in
Roman costume, are just. The al»-
surdity of such apparel on modem Eo*
ropeans is striking, and appears on-
called for, it being no other than the
disguise of a masquerade dress, however
classical the drapery maybe. The chief
object of a statue is confessedly to pre-
serve the likeness of an individoal, and
the portrait is not faithful, if it is made
otherwise than as the person when in
life appeared.
Of the stiflf, formal, anpicturesque
character of modern apparel, I am
justly sensible ; but I conceive that it
is inconsistent with true portraiture to
represent the Bgure in a foreign dress.
The statue of King George the Third,
recently placed in the Royal Exchange,
is appropriately arrayed in the corona-
tion robes ; but if it is thought neces-
sary to represent the illustrious dead in
the imposing costume of antiquity, let
us not travel from our own land in
search of the picturesque and becom-
ing. The Highland garb may vie in
gracefulness with the Greek or Ro-
man, and has surely equal claims to
consideration. It was admired by our
late gracious Sovereign, and honoured
by bein^ adopted as the court dress of
Scotland. His present most excellent
Majesty, not less attentive to the north-
ern portion of his loyal subjects, will,
it is conBdently believed, renew the
interest which Royal condescension
lately drew towards Scotland and its
manly costume, which may certainly
he adopted most appropriately, by the
Scots, as highly suitable for the effect
of statues, or luouumcntal sculpture.

We shall nnw give a concise history
of the Oput Homanuin, and lis cha-
ncteritlics.* Kddiui, in hia Life of
Wilfrid, wrilten, says Pabrlcins (Med.
^v. Biblioih. ii. 843), about the year
790, tayl, ihat Wilfrid brought over

With ihe aid of thcte, he built the

by various columns and lies (" vatiis

'leseripiionorihe use of ashler columns
and lies is also given of HcKhain (id.
p. 62), founded also by him, with the
additions, tayi Eddiui, or long and high

(viarum anfractus), sometimes up,
sometimes down, so that numbers
might be there collected, and yet be
unseen by those below. He placed
also an infinite number of most secret
and beautiful chapels (oraloria) and
alurs in the iles (porticihusj, of which
(»ys Richard, who died about IIQO)
parts, as the towers and battlements
(propugnacula},yti remain ; so that it
was not wholly destroyed by the Danes,
as appears in topographers. We have
a further description of the Opus Ro-
manum in the Church of Canterbury,
at copied from Eadmer, by Oervase
(Decem Scriptores, col. ISQI). The
Church was built after the model of
old St. Peter's at Rome, of which
there exist copious plans and descrip-
tions in the works of Ciampini and
Bonanni. We shall not particularize
the details concerning the crypts and
altars, but only give general forms.
There were a I^dj-chapel, enclosed
choir, nave, and lies, as now ; but
here lay a distinction. In the middle
of the nave were two towers project-
ing beyond the iles (sub medio longitu'
dims aula ipsius dues tunes erani pro^
minentes ultra ecclesia alas). One of
these, the southern, had an altar in
the middle, and in the side the prin-
cipal door of the Church, called ** An-
tiquitus ab Anglis ^^utbbute,'* where
Law Courts were held. The other
tower was on the north, and in confuta-
tion of Whittaker*s idea, had cloisters
on both sides of it (hinc indej, where
the younger monks were instructed.
After the conflagration of this part of
the Church, the great alteration made
by Lanfranc was the substitution of a
central tower and transepts. Thus
does it aupear, that Ladv-chapels, en-
closed choirs, naves, iles, columns,
chapels, arches at the entrance of
chancels, staircase towers, battlements,
deambufatories or triforia, images, bas-
rcliefs,and wall-paintings, are of Anglo-
Saxon date; and what is singular is,
the Church held in the hanu of the
effigies of Adelsinda, wife of Count
Vulfoade, of the eighth century, en-
graved by Montfaucon (Monum. Fran-
^ais), almost exactly resembles the
Anglo-Saxon house, engraved by Stnitt,
and fully explains the loftiness of these
old Churches. More explanations may
be found in Mr. Wood's Letters of an
Architect, and without the study of
that book, all expositions of our ax\-
c/cnt architecture must be supcifKxal

Such was the Opus RomanuMt but
•s few or no assimilations are to be
found in the Churches of Rome, Mr.
Burton is surprised. He finds, how
ever, counterparts in Lomhardy (Rome,
ii. p. 78, 79) » where he says, '* the
same solidity in the columns, the in-
variable adoption of the round arch,
without any mixture of the pointed in
the same building, that corrupt and
degenerate resemblance to Grecian
models, particularly in the capitals, but
not at all in the proportions, those
grotesque ornaments formed of real or
imaginary animals, which characterise
our Saxon edifices, may all be observed
in Lomhardy, particularly in the cities
of Placentia, Parma, Rcegio, Modena,
Bologna, &c.''*— Now Ombardy was
not converted to the Christian faith
before the time of Pope Gregory [59O
to 603] (see Cluverii Epitom. p. 385).
And in the Foreign Review (No. XI.
p. 254) we have extracu from a work
entitled, "Antichita Romantiche d*I-
talia*' (copied by us in our Magazine
for August, p. 146), and as the heathen
Longobardi conquered the Goths, who
were Christians, and as one of the
^rst examples of a series of arches, in-
stead of horizontal architraves raised
upon insulated columns, is in the
y ■'1urc^ of S. Vitale in Ravenna, which
was begun in the timeof Amalasuntha,
Queen of the Goths, about A. D. 530,
we are not surprised at our use of the
term Gothic architecture, because we
deduce its origin from the style pre-
valent in Italy, after the conquests and
occupation of the (roths. The term
Gothic, as applied to the pointed arch
style, is manifestly a mere catachresis,
because it occurs in no ancient chro-
nicler whatever.
The truth is, that the real distinc-
tion between the architecture of the
old Greeks and Romans, and of our
ancestors, is the construction of arches
over pillars, instead of horizontal en*
tablatures. In the time of Dioclesian,
when the fashion first began of arches
over columns,* there was an interven-
ing entablature ; in Constantine*s time,
the arches were sprung from the ca-
pitals ; but the northern nations, in
their attempt to copy Roman architec-
ture, imilaicd that of Dioclesian, but
ultimately reduced the entablature to
a mere slab over the capital. On the
other hand, the architects employed

anno 924, consisted of a square plot
with a tumulus, on which stood a
tower; now this was precisely in the
fashion of the Opus Romanum applied
to Castellation, for Gibbon sajrs (vii.
127, 8vo.) " The far greater part of
Justinian's forts, seem to have con-
sisted only of a stone or brick tower,
in the midst of a square or circular
area, which was surrounded by a wall
and ditch, and afforded, in a moment of
danger, some protection to the peasants
and cattle of the neighbouring v illages.*'
Take another assimilation. The
windows of the Church of St. Siefano
Rotondo, at Home, ascribed to the fifth
century, and engraved in Burton (ii.
85), are like those so common in our
old Opus Romanum.
But to revert to the work before us.
With regard to £dgar*s Tower, of
which there is a beautiful wood-cut
in p. 42, there is nothing of the Opus
Romanum in il, except, if the enyrav*
iog be correct, in the two inner round-
headed arches of the gateway.
Furthermore, we beg to supply a de-
sideratum in this work. Bishop Lit-
tleton, from certain appellations, and
a huge barrow called Cruckbarrow,
about a mile from the suburb of Sud-
bury, contends thai Worcester was a
Roman town ; and Yarrauton main-
tains that it was used by them for
iron works. Dr. Nash (App. cix.)
will have it, that the castle was an
original fortress of the Briions, be-
cause it is close to the river, where it is
for a long way fordable. Johu Rous,
[Nbi
of Warwick, according to Archbiahop
Usher (Briunnic. Hccles. Antiq. p.
34), says, that Worcester was founded
by King ConstanftW; but according to
the printed copy of that fabulist (p.
54), it is Constan/tfi€.
We have made such strngglct to
impede another Norman Conquest^ and
consequent neglect of British and Aogb-
Saxon antiquities, that we bave not
room for extracts. Indeed the work
does not contain any of those curious
matters which it is our rule to select
on account of novelty; bnt is a well-
digested and able compendium of the
locfl history.

Mr. John Asuburvham was the
eldest son of Sir John Ashburnham,by
Eliz. daughter of SirThos. Beaumont^
and born in the year l603. Through
relationship to the Duke of Bucking-
ham, he was in i628 appointed groom
of the Bedchamber ; and, as Lord Ches-
terfield says, that he likes men who are
called Tom, Bob, or Dick, by their
intimates, because it evinces good qua-
lities of heart ; so it is plain that his
Sovereign regarded him with aflectioo,
because he calls him Jack Ashburn-
ham, and was himself so cautious, "as
to see and observe men long before he
received them about his person." {n,
1). 2.) In 1640 he was member for
Hastings in the liOng Parliament ; and
though it does not appear that he ever
Fpoke, yet his name frequently occun
as a member of committees, and a
teller on divisions. Lord Clarendon,
evidently his enemy, in an insidious
way, and palpably jealous of his in-
fluence with the King, says, that " he
being a member of the House, was
always ready to report the service he
did Fi is Majesty as advantageously as
the business would bear," a sneer at
his motives, not a proof of hit talent,
as our biographer thinks, (p. 3.; In
1642 he was proceeded asainst for
contempt, because he disobeyed the
summons of the House. Upon this

[ The Cdiisenfthe present Vindication his Narrnltve. When Ihe King avow.
1 scandalous report that he had ed his resolution to stay no longer at
Sed his Majesty into the Isle of Hampton Court, Mr. A, says,
t, by compact with ihe Parlia- "
It and Army, before his departure
n Hampton Court (p; 40) ; and in
l^e ptouagation of ibis aspersion, Lord
"'"cndou was either a principal or
cessory. The account given by Mr.
' 'lurnhem himself is, that the King,
r fear of assassination at Himp-
l^otjri, himself dictaietl escape to
■he IsleofWighl, because it was i^e-
Kterally Inhabited by a people always
rell affected to the Ctowti, and at that
ime ondet no such power as could
tybdue them. (ii. p. 46.) With this
~ ;)inion Mr. Ashburnham adiiiils that
t concurred (p. 4g), and we think
~ ~ nationally. Under peril, two qua-
■re most essential, caution and

Accordingly Mr. Ashbiunham and
Sir John Berkeley repaired to the Go-
vernor, who made ihe shufBing reply
alluded lo. Charles saw through it;
for, says Mr. Ashburnhain himself,
« When I Had made the whole relation
to the Kini;, bee was pleased to say (with a
very severe and reserved countenance, the
first of that kind to mee,) that notwith-
stnnding that engagement, bee verily be-
lieved the Goveriiour would make him a
prisoner." — p. 117.
Almost immediately afterwards,
Charles, under a panic of being soon
•eized, instead ot escaping another
way delivered himself up to the Go-
vernor. He leaped, although he had
looked Grst.
That so ill-managed a business
would bring discredit upon all the
parties, and lay Mr. Ashburnham un-
der suspicion, and suspicion is sufR-
cient to generate aspersion, is exceed-
ingly probable; but, although Mr.
Ashuurnham*s diplomatic talents may
in this instance at least be justly ques-
tioned, there are no apparent grounds
for impeaching his integrity. It is
possible even, that his zesd to serve the
king, then under fear of assassination,
might induce him to risk the impru-
dence. A royal oak and unofficial
friends would nevertheless have been
safer resorU. As the matter was, it
was an appeal made bv a deserter to an
officer, who must do his duty or incur
ruin, perhaps death.
In the Appendix, No. vi. is a re-
print of the "Memoirs of Sir John
Berkley," which we warmly recom-
mend to our readers, because it shows
how deep a game Cromwell played.
It was a master- piece of policy. At a
time when all men on all sides were
in a state of the utmost excitement,
and all the actors except himself at
their wits' ends, he was craftily feeling
his way, by recommending a consti-
tution similar to that of Holland, and
he very soon contrived to hove it put
in execution. He had one great prin-
ciple of conduct, which was never lo
avow his real object, but suit his de-
clarations and professions to the turn
of the times, as if he was merely a
passive, unconcerned person, who
swJita with the lide. In the tncan
whihj he wsL» so managing circum-
[Nov,
stances, that they produced of them-
selves the object desired.
The honourable representative of
Mr. Ashburnham (whose temper in
this book cannot be too highly praised)
has, we think, ably exculpated his
ancestor, as to any kind oi basenesi
attached to his character.

THEY who depreciate the import-
ance of learning and the arts and
sciences, who inculcate contempt for
talents, and who criminate the profes-
sion of arms, under the mask of reli-
gion and fairy dreams of a golden age,
produce civil and political evils of ttie
most dangerous cnaracter; bat they
whose piety is united with the love of
natural philosophy and history (and it
is a piety which no sophistry or intel-
lectual diabolism can shake) acqaire
a zeal for the improvement of oar
worldly condition, a filial onion of
love and awe for deity, a philosophical
cast of character, a calm trost in Pro-
vidence, an amiable temper, and a di-
vine charity; for, says Sterne, *'a
quiet journey of the heart in pursuit
of nature, and those affections which
arise out of her, make us love eacli
other and the world better than we
should otherwise do." Indeed, so ma-
lignant are the feelings which history
represents to be consequent upon
struggles for ascendancy, misnomercd
religion but in fact ambition, that we
have been sometimes inclined to hold
the great improvements resulting from
the study of natural philosophy and
history, blessings conferred by Provi-
dence to introduce amelioration of
thinking and feeling upon sacred sub-
jects. We speak thus, justifiably, be-
cause it is among the ordinary follies
of certain pietists to style natural his-
tory a frivolous taste for butterflies and
shells ; as if commerce and medicine
did not derive important aid from
cochineal and cantharides ; or navi-
gation was not taught by the nautilus;
and a deep veneration tor the wisdom
of God, inculcated by ali his works, of
which no part can be called frivolous
without falsehood and blasphemy.—

We beg to observe that small birds
aie almost universally intended by Pro-
vidence to feed upon insects ; and that,
generally speaking, famine only causes
them to use vegetable provender. Well
does our author observe (p. 135), that
•• killing every thing and_ cruelty are
the common vices of the ignorant.'*
There is ihe Hbdgb-hoo, hue-and
cried, like a felon, for sucking cows,
though with a mouth too small for
the teal, and a beetle and vegetable
feeder ; and there are the poor books
that consume millions of grubs— both
subjects of persecution.
We are truly sorry that our author's
interesting account of these sable mer-
chants, congregating on their exchange
of a ploughed field, and hopping se-
dately with busineu gravity, is too
lonz for us to extract. They are to us
oldTriends from our early days. They
remind us of the formation of cities,
and the busy hum of men, and deeply
do we regret, and heartily do we con-
demn, the bad taste which has led to
the destruction of rookeries. They
were establishments in excellent har-
mony with rural habitancy ; and there
was something which excited luxu-
rious |)ensivcne8s, in their cawing con-
cert. And then in the nesting season
what a lot of travellers to meet with,
and attract our attention, moving in
slow flight with flapping wings, and a
stick in their mouths, as heavily as
porters with a burden. What an
amusing bustle about the nest, and
poking and scratching in the disposi-
tion of the sticks ! Wc have compelled
these useful and entertaining colonies
to emigrate, but have neglected " that
bold and impudent thief," the Jay,
who, says our author, will at the
brooding time,
" Plunder our gErdent of every raspberry,
cherry, or bean, that it can obtain; and
will not cease from rapine as lone as any of
the brood or the crop remains. We see all
the nestlings approach, and settling near
■oroe meditated scene of plunder, qoietly
await a summons to commence. A parent
bird from some tree surveys the ground,
then descends upon the cherry, or into the
rows, immediately announces a disoawiji by
a low but particular call, and all the fkmily
flock in to the banquet, which having finish-
ed by repeated visits, the old birds return
to the woods with all their chattering chil-
[Nor.
**ProcuU oh ! proeul ate /^ have vrc often
cried in despair, when to defiance of
clapper and bell, they have pounced
u|>on our only cherry-tree, and away
in a moment with the priiet, leaving-

stones.

thor for the pleasure which his book

our praise was as valuable as it u sin-
cere and merited.

THIS well-conduct^ work is pur-
suing its course of usefulness, aflbrding
in its Biographical series many ao en-
couraging example, and maDy a lesson
of practical wisdom. In the volume
before us, these lessons and examples
are particularly enforced. Scarcely an
instance of the recorded lives of Bri- *
tish Physicians but serves to illostrate
the important truth that success and
distinction are the sure rewards of
study and diligence, and that the con-
scientious exercise of talent will lead
to honourable wealth.
Among the more prominent of the
lives are those of Harvev, Sydenham*
Mead, Heberden, and Hunter, of the
old school ; and Jenner, Parry, Baillie*
and Gooch, among the moderns:
each of whom was no less distinguish- ,
ed for those virtues which adorn and
dignify the man, than for the skill and
science which raised him to the first
rank in his profession. The lives of
Linacre and Caius are chiefly remark-
able, as affording striking examples of
the combination of the scholar and
physician, and showing how much
we are indebted to the profession of
physic for the introduction of classical
literature, and the general revival of
learning among us. The life of Har-
vey is connected with one of the most
important discoveries in anatomy, the
circulation of the blood ; it is a short
but exceedingly well written biogra-
phical notice, and is well deserving an
attentive perusal, either by the medi-
cal student, or by the general reader.
Of Sir Thomas Browne, the cele-
brated author of '* Religio Medici,"
and " Pseudodoria Kpiuemica,'' we
have an interesting account. His bio-
graphy rather consists of his writings,
than of his practice ; of the former we
have an entertaining review.

of them, hoivever, knew how to ma-
nage the heroic, so as not to swell inlo
the bombast, by extrava^nt hyper-
bole and the use ofuudigDiflcd figures,
e. g. Massinger says,
«< Do not bhtn thrice,
Tho furnace of a wrath already hot ;
Atna is my breast, wildfire bums here.
Which only blood must quench,"
Here is a pair of bellows, and gun-
powder united with Etna.
Massiuger's characters are nearly all
gentlemen and ladies, much alike; and
io his *' Great Duke of Florence,*' his
buffoons have not that intelligible gc-
oeral characteristic of the species,
which is so delightful in Shakspeare.
We see, however, two passages in our
author like reflections in a mirror of
that fine bard:
When good men pursue
<(,
The path marked out by Virtue ; the blest
saints
With joy luuk on it, and seraphic angels
Clap their celestial wings in heavenly plau-
diu.
To see a scene of grace so well presented.
The fiends, and men made up of envy,
muurning.'*— p. 381.
Again,
■* — — Fetters though made of gold,
Express base thraldom ; and all delicates
Prei)ared by Median cooks for epicuies.
When not our own, are bitter; quilts, fillM
high
With gussamere and roses cannot vield
The body soft repose, the miud kej)t waking
With anguish and affiiction." — p. 346.
We have now a certain odd circum-
stance to notice, attributable perhaps
to different editions. The editor, uho
has prefixed a life of the poet, says, p. 'JO:
'*Tlie Anchoress of Pausilippo was acted
. Jan. 86', lb'40, about six weeks before his
death, which hap|)ened on the 17th of
March, ]6'40. He went to bed in good
health, says LttfigbainCf and was found dead
\n the morning in his own house on the
bank side. He was buried in the church-
yard of St. Saviour's (without memorials,
and the rcgihter has only —
''March SO, 1639-40, buried Philip
Massinger, a stranger."
Now Langbaine's words (p. 359,
cd. 1761), are these:
■
** I know nothing else of our author's
writings, and therefore must hasten to the
last act of his life, his death, which happen-
ed at London in March 1669. On tfie se-
ventanth of the same month ho was burWA
Ja St, Alwy OKerie'd Church, Sout\iwa\V,
In the same grave with Mr. Fletcber. What
monument or ioteriptioa lie has, I kaow
not."
But Sir Aston Cokain wrote
"An epitaph on Mr, John FUteher and
Mr. Philip Massiiiger, who lay both buried
in one grave, in St. Mary Overy's Church in
Southwark."— Ibid.
We accredit the register, in think-
ing 160*9 to be a oiistake. Fletcher
died of the plague in \625.
Mr. Malone, in his accouot of oar
ancient Theatres, has said that there
were no moveable scenes, and seems
to have led Striitt and others into the
tame mistake, in which they apjiear to
have been corroborated by the wood-
cut in Roigny's Terence, 1639, <ct iii.
This notion is satisfactorily confuted
in the introductory matter.
We are glad to see such old works
republished ; for there is a sterling
substantiality in their materials, which
is suited to the real English chaiacter,
when not old womanized.
The History of the Netherltmdt. By Tho-
mas Colley Grattan. [^For Dr. Lardner*s
Cabinet Encyciop^tdia.}
ALTHOUGH the History of the
Netherlands would at any period have
been sufliciently attractive, it has ac-
quired a higher and adventitious inte-
rest from recent proceed in ss. The an-
nexing of Belgium to Holland by the
treaty of Paris, was a measure ot Eu-
ropean policy long ago questioned by
the iitoat sagacious of all politicianit,
and the result seems to have justified
his opinions. It is not, however, as
connected with modern politics that
we are to notice the History before us,
— a long residence in the country, and
a ready access to libraries and archives,
have furnished Mr. Grattan with mate-
rials which he has arranged with skill,
and out of which he has produced a
very interesting volume.
The ancient history of the Nether-
lands is traced with much accuracy and
research, from the invasion of Caessr
and ihc irruption of the Franks, through
the gnvernment of Charlemagne, the
junction of the Flemincs with Ed-
ward III. of England, down to the
sovereignty of the Duke of Burgundy
in the fourteenth century. The fluc-
tuations of territory are marked with
precision, and the pcrpciiul conflicts

At maiter, however, of more imme-
diate interest, we extract at tome lenp;th
the pTriiculnra of that nnion of Hol-
land and Belgiam which has been se-
vered in so remarkable a manner within
these few months.
«The obtuclet offered by the Dutch
ehartcter to the proposed union were chiefly
to be found in ihe dngnuiticsl opinions, con-
se<|neBt on the itolatinn of the country from
•H the principles that ecttisted other states^
and particularly that with which it was now
joined : while long- cherished sentiments of
opposition to the catholic religion was little
likely to lead to feelings «tf accommodatiou
and sTrnpathy with its new fellow-citiiens.
** Yhe inhabitants of Belgium, accus-
tomed to foreign dominstion, were little
shocked by tlie fact of the allied powers
having disposed uf their fate without con-
sulting their wishes. But they were not so
indifferent to the double discoveryof finding
themselves the subjects of a Dutch and
a protestant king. Without entering at
large into any invidious discussion on the
causes of the natural jealousy which they
lelt towards Ilolland, it may suffice to state
that such did exist, and in no very moderate
degree. The countries had hitherto had
but little community of iuterests with each
other ; and they formed elements so utterly
discordant as to affoid but slight hope that
they would speedily coalesce. The lower
classes of the Belgian population were ig-
norant as well as su])erstitious (not that
these two qualities arc to be considered as
inseparable) : and if they were av<Nrse to the
Dutch, they were iwrhaps not more favour-
ably disposed to tlie French and Austrians.
The majority of the nobles may be said to
have leant more, at this period, to the
latter then to either of the otner two people.
But the great msjority of the industrious
and better informei portions of the middle
orders felt differently from the other two,
because they had found tangible and positive
advontages in their subjection to France,
wbicii overpowered every sentiment of poli-
tical degradation.
<* We thus see there was little sympathy
between the members of the national fa-
mily. The first glance at the geographical
position of Holland and Belgium might lead
to a belief that their interests were ana-
logous. But we have traced the anomalies
In government and religion in the two coun-
tries, which led to totally different pursuits
and feelings. Holland had sacrificed manu-
fretnres to commerce. The introduction,
duty free, of grain from the northern parts
of Europe, though checking the progress of
i^icultnrey had not prevented it to flourish
Bmrf§})om)j, coosidering this obstacle to
eultang moJ, iSu(h/iii to their traditional
notions, the Dutch taw the cknciita of

tion which bad made their haihoars die

*' Totally nnaecnstomed to the five prin-
ciples of trade so cherished by the Dntchf
the Belgians had foond, under the protec-
tion of the French custom 'house iawa, aa
internal commerce and agricnltural ad-
vantages, which composed their |jeeuliar
prospeiity. Thev found a coBtWBptioo fi>r
the produce of their well-eal^valed kada,
at high prices, in the neighboewiqg pro-
rinces of France. The webe woven by the
Belgian peasantry, and genenlly all the ma-
nufactures uf the country, met no rivalij
from those of England, which were strictly
prohibited I and being commonly eoperior
to those of France, the sale was snre aad
the profit coiMiderable.
" Belgium was as natarally desiroos of
this state of things as Hollaed was indiffvrent
to it ; but it could only have been accom-
plished by the destruction of free trade, aad
the exclusive protection of internal nsann-
fiictures. Under such discreiiancies as we
have thus traced in religion, chsracter, and
local interests, the two countries were made
one ; and on the new monarch devolved the
hard and delicate task of reconciling each
party in the ill-assorted match, and inspiring
them with sentiments uf mutual modera-
tion.
** Under the title of governor-general of
the Netherlands (for his intended elevation
to the throne, and the definitive junction of
Hollond and Belgium were still publicly un-
known), the prince of Orange repured to
his uew state. He arrived at Brussels in
the month of August, 1814, and his first
effort was to gain the hearts and the con-
fidence of the people, though he saw the
nobles snd the higher orders of the inferior
classes (with the exception of the merchants)
intriguing all around him for the re-establish-
ment of the Austrisn power. Petitions on
this subject were printed and distributed (
and the models of tl&ose anti-national docu-
ments may still Im referred to in a work
published at the time.*'
The discufsions by which this un*
congenial union was to be efiected*
were interrupted by the return of Na-
poleon from Elba ; and the Nether-
lands became the scene of one of the
most im|>ortant battles ever recorded

iion» ihat though recent enough for
the narration of fact, the period maybe
ioo recent for the weighing and sifting
of motive. The hand that holds the

Croly. That he will succeed in pleasing

and fidelity, and his volume may be

Strongest internal evidence of its truth,
by the soundness of its moral and reli-
gious opinions, whether referring to
statesmen or to princes, to individuals
or to nations. Wiih these remarks
wepnx:eed to the volume.
The early days of George thcFourih
are toochrd with a light hand. He
was born at a moment of sreat pubHc
rejoicing, and nursed amidst scenes of
domestic happine^. The character of
George the Third is well drawn iu the
following passage:
*' ]}ut the Kia^ followrd the principle
into the details of life. He loved to be a
thorough Englishman. Like every roan of
■CDse, he scorned all affectatioo ; and, above
all, scorned the affectation of foreign roan-
uers. The lisping effeminacy, the naelan-
chu!y jargon, the French and (rerman fop-
pery of the moustached and cigared race
that the cofFee«house life of the continent
lias propagated among us, would have found
BO nvaur in tlie eyes of this honest and
high -principled King. Honour to God and
Justice to man, public respect for religion
and private guidance by its spirit, public de-
corum and personal virtue, a lofty and ge-
nerous zeal lor the dignity of his crown and
people, and a vigilant yet affcctiuriate disci-
jiliue in his family and household, were tlie
characteristics of George the Third. But
even in his royalty he loved to revive the
simple customs of English domestic life :
and his famous speech from the throne
scarcely p;avo more national delight and as-
surance of an English heart, than the homely
announcement, whicli followed in a few days
after the Queen's recovery, that the royal
infant was to be shewn in its cradle to all
who called at tlie palace; and tliat tlieir
,ni»fe»t'iet, ufter the old bloglish custom, lu-
rhed the Wsitors to cake aod caudle."
Of the Prince*! education under
Mark ham and Cyril Jackson, who were
afterwards changed for Hurd and Ar-
nald. we have an interesting account;
and the description of hit personal and
menial qualifications, at he commenced
his political career, would induce the
warmest of his admirers to tremble as
he admired.
" He was then,*' says Mr. Croly, «' one of
the handsomest men in Europe ; his cnnn-
tenance open and manly, his figure tall and
strikingly proportioned, his address re-
markable for easy elegance, and his whole
air singularly noble. His contemporaries
still describe him as the model of a maa of
fashion, and amusingly lament over the de-
generacy of an aze which no longer prodaees
such men. llut lie possessed qualities which
might have atoned for a less attractive ex-
terior. He spoke the principal modem
languages with sufficient skill. He waa a
tasteful musician. His acquanitaaoe with
English literature was in early life unosually
accurate and extensive. Markliam's disci-
pline, and Jackson's scholarship, had given
him a large portion of classical knowledge,
and nature had given him tlie more im-
portant public talent of speaking with
fluency, dignity, and vigour."
It is painful to trace the progress of
so gifted a being through the perplexed
nijzcs of his youth, endins in the de-
gradation of deht ; his emnarrassment
the subject of party squabbles, and
himself the weapon of party warfare,
and, in Mr. Croly 's language, "the
Princess injuries used for the purposes
of oppositicm.*' These events are re-
corded, and they afford an nseful lesson
and a solen.n warning; but they are
recorded with the feehngs of one who
never forgets in the sternness of the
morali^st the compassion of the man.
*< Almost prohibited, by the rules of the
English court, from bearing any important
part in government { almost condemned to
silence in the legislature by the custom of
the constitution ; almost restricted, by the
etiquette of his birtli, from exertinj; him-
selt in any of those pursuits which cheer
and elevate a manly mind, by the noble con-
sciousness that it is of value to its country ;
the life of the eldest l)om of the throne ap-
pears condemned to be a splendid sinecure.
The valley of Kasselas, with its impassahle
boundary, and its luxurious aod spirit-sub-
duing bowers, was but an emblem of princely
existence ; and the moralist is unfit to de-
cide ou human nature, who, in estimatiog
the career, forgets the temptaiion.

Mr. Croly's style is dittiojiuished.

the late King's reign. We can only
speak a |iassin^ word of praise on the
manner in which this part of the vo-
lume has been wtitten, and we parti-
cularly rcconiincnd the ahle and elo-
quent chapter which delineates the
immense extent and resources of the
British empire; the most illustrious
attribute of which is *' that its princi-
ple is Benevolence! that knowledse
goes forth with it, that tyranny sinks
before it, that in its magnificrni pro-
gress it abates the calamities of nature,
tliat it plants the desert, that it civi-
lizes the savage, that it strikes off the
fetters of tlie slave, that its spirit is at
once ' glory to God, and good will to
nan.'"— p. 414.
Mr. C. anproaches the ministry of the
Duke of \\ ellington with feelmgs of
the most unbounded gratitude for bis
services as a scildicr, but with little re-
jpect for his deeds as a statesman. Of
the Catholic qiie»lion, and of those
who acted a pri in thi^t great drama of
agitation, Mr. Ciuly 8|H:aks with the
fearlessness of one who has no conver-
sion to defend, no inconsistency to re-
concile. If Laiancipation were an act
well to do, it wad most ignobly done ;
and having been conceded to intimi-
dation, the concession has given prac-
tical evidence of the power of popular
strength, banded for whatever purpose,
and confederated for whatever en J. It
is upon those on whose firmness the
country relied, on the men who were
pledged ill the strongest lueusure by
their S|)ccclie8 and arguments against
the concession, and ulio uflcrwjrds as
Tradily delivered their sentiments in
favour of the measure, that ihc vials of
his wrath are justly |>oured.
** The Converts I (says he) were instantly
taunted in the strougest language of national
•corn. The most contemptuous phraiet
that human disdain could invent, were heap-
ed upon them. Ttie brand was burned on
them to tlio bone. But by a hat tulien in-
fluence, or with what ultimate purpose, this
unaccountable diange was wrought, must
be Ivft to that inveiligatlnn which sits upon
the tomb, and declare* the infinite empti-
neis of the amplest reward, for which a pub-
lic man barters the res})ect of his country.**
The whole question is discussed with
ability, and f|>eaks the language we
think of that numerous |)arty which
resisted by all legal methods the pro-
gress of the Bill, and which is nnw
witnessing with genuine soriow its
disastrous effects.
Our opinion of thisTolnne has been
already given, and we need not here
repeat our praise. It is to us only a
matter of regret, that he who with la-
lenu, and courage, and integrity, moie
than sufGcient to adorn the highest
grades of the profession be has chosen,
should yet he without any sphere ia
which his great endowments mi^ht be
exercised beneficially to his mlow-
men. Throughout tnis volume there
are the manifest indications of a spirit
purified from the selfishncts of the
world, and fit for the high and holy
purpose of a Christian minister,— of a
spirit holding all acquirements ehcap
in comparison with that knowledge
which can win for itself and ocfaers
the hopes and aims of a better life, and
which can reckon among its proudest
triumphs the training of sooks for
God.
We conclude our notice of this vo-
lume with an extract, in which is
united piety of sentiment and great
eloquence of expression :
" If Italy, with her magntBccDt povtni
her vivid susceptibility uf character, her
living genius, and her imncriahabU fiunt^
Italy, where every fout or ground waa the
foundation of some monument of the most
illustrious supremacy of the human nind,
is now a piison ; the crime and tlie fidly are
her own ; her own vices have rivettcd the
cliaiu round her neck, her own hand has
barred the dungc.m ; and in tliat dungeon
she wilt remain for ever, if she wait uotU
vice shall give vigour to her limbs, or su-
])er8liliuo throw back the gates of lier living
st-pulihre. A purer influence must descend
upon her. A deliverer, not uf die earth,
Ciirthl) — but an iinmorul visitant, sliedJing
the light of hulioess aud rvligiun from its
vesture, must come u|K>n her darkness; and,
like the anpel that came to Peter, bid her
awake and follow.'*
We are aware how imperfectly we
have executed our task ; we can only
refer the reader to a volume which
should be read and studied with atten*
tion.
A considerable number of anecdotes,
which have already appeared in print,

engaged in that halile. A cnvolry re-
sinienl had madea charge, and suHercd
severely. The Duke of WelJinalon,
undfT an inviluiitary neresiily, orilered
a second cliar^. One of the officers
had only a single horse left, a remark-
ably tall old mare, which he despiaed,
and nioknamed " the old t— h,"
Though he concluded that death would
be llie consequence, he was forced to
ride her. To hii sreai surprise i>bD
rushed on, reared aloft upon coming
in coniact with the French mass,
knocked down Ihe men before her
with her foie-feel (the wild horse's na-
iutmI mode of combming ferodont

in;:, which enabled the rest to follow

Peel to the City authorities, aniioaiiciof
the postponement of bis Majcsty'a Tisit
to the City fea«t, which had not on^
excited much aUrm In the Metropolity
but was calculated to spread mneb eon-
sternation through the country. The
King reigned In tlie hearts of hit rab-
)cctSy and be pledged all the property
that be bad— be pledged bii existence^
that his Majesty might ba?e gone^
unaccompanicMl k^ guardst anbarmed,
through erery street in the Metropoliff.
—The JHkM if miUmgUm fully cod-
eurred with the Noble Duke that his
Majesty was probably the moat popular
monarch that erer reigned in tbtt coun*
tiy ; and that his Majesty deierrcd the
popularity which be enjoyed more en-
tirely than any Sovereign who bad pre-
ceded him. The letter which waa writ-
ten last night by his Majesty*a eom-
mand to the Lord Mayor, waa not con-
nected in the least degree with his Ma-
jesty's popularity ; on the comraiy^
there was no doubt of the attachment of
the citizens to his Migescy. On the 6tb
he receired from the Lord Mayor EleeC a
letter, advising him of penonal danger
from the attack of some desperate
ruffians, if he accompanied bis Majettj
to the City festival on the 9tb of No-
vember. The letter, which his Graee
read to the House, suggested to him
*' the propriety of coming strongly and
sufficiently guarded." Having commu-
nicated with bis colleagues on the sub-
ject, they considered it their duty to
recommend to bis Majesty that be
should postpone his visit to a future oc-
casion. Hit Right Hon. Friend Sir R*
Peel, and himself had, from a variety of
quarters, information of a design to
attack the police-— of an iotention to
extinguish the lights— of a variety of
intentions of riot and disorder ; and it
would have been impossible that such
confusion and tumult could have been
put an end to without the shedding of
blood. The very chance of such confu-
sion, and the chances of the conse-
quences that might result from it, were
sufficient grounds for bis Majesty's ad-
visers recommending him not to go Into
the City.— Tbe Marquis of Ctanriearie
said, the excuse which the noble Dake
had offered for the advice which be had
given to the King was, that he (tbe
Duke^ was unpopular. A Urge military
force had been drawn up round the me-
tropolis— artillery was in readineas, hut
all these preparations had been set
aside by the Lord Mayor's letter.— ^orf

dke tbe discussion hereafter, or interfere
with its advancement to a satisfaetoiy
termination. As to the interference
with Belgium, they had bat one of three
eoursea to pursue i either to disavow all
interest in the affairs of Belgium, allow-
ing French soldiers to make what Incur-
sions they please, and take possession of
Antwerp and other fortiRcations unmo-
lested; or by military interference, to
compel the submission of tbe provinces
to their King (neither of which we
adopted) ; or lastly, when civil war was
raging in a part of Europe, from its po-
sition peculiarly calculated to embroil
neighbouring states, to mediate with a
view to restore tranquillity, and not for
tbe purpose of subjugating the Nether-
lands i and this waa the species of inter-
ference to which the British Govern-
ment had had recourse.— Mr. Brougham
aaid tbe nature of our interference with
Belgium was neither more or less than
making the King of England a partisan
in the contest between the King of Hol-
land and his Belgian subjects ; and this
was called the best means of restoring
tranquillity. " Mediation" was a soft,
amooth word ; but those who interfered
as mediators were frequently obliged to
fight. We were mediators only on one
aide— on behalf of the "enlightened
monarch" of Holland.— The Report was
then brought up and agreed to.
Nov, 5. — On the motion that the
House do resolve itself into a Committee
of Supply, Mr. Kenyan complained that
no allusion had been made in the Speech
from the Throne to the distresses of the
country, which never had been more ex-
tensive than at present. He admitted
that great reductions had been made in
taxation since the conclusion of tbe war,
but not nearly to the extent which
might have been made, or which the
exigencies of the country required.— iS¥r
R, Peel said, that he had no intention of
proposing a Committee to inquire into
the state of the country; but Ministers
were disposed to do all in their power to
administer relief to the distresses com-
plained of. The Right Hon. Baronet
pointed out tbe dangerous tendency of
the language made use of by the Hon.
Member (Mr. Hume), as calculated
to disseminate anarchy and confusion
throughout the country, and sat down
amidst loud cheers.-^Mr. ^ume defended
his conduct. He would now repeat that
the greatest distress prevailed through-
out the country.

Crown, there be grantt'd the annual sum
of 97U,OOUl. chargeable on the Consoli*

Hume, Lord Althorp, and Sir H. Par'
neli, considered tbe motion a proper
subject to be referred to a Select Cuni-
raittee, instead of a Committee of the
whole House. — ^The Hou«e then went
into a Committee of Supply, and voted
a resolution, " Thst the sum of

to make good the supplies granted in
tbe last Session of Parliament, which
was ordered to be reported on Monday,
the 15th.

read a second time, and ordered to be

Sir //. Hardinge moved for, and ob-
tained, leave to bring in a Bill to amend
an Act (7 Geo. IV.) respecting the A«-
signinent and Subletting of Lands in
Ireland ; and also a Bill fur taking an
account of the population of that coun-
HousB OF Lords, Nov, 15.
The Jjn-d Chancellor^ after an elo-
quent introductory speech, moved the
appointment of a Regency in case
of the ueinise of the King before the
Princess Victoria arrived at the age of
eighteen. He said that the Bill which he
was about to propose, provided that in
the event of a posthumous child, her
Majesty the Queen should be guardian
and Regent during the minority; and
that her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent should be guardian and Regent
during the minority of the Princess
Victoria, subject to be superseded in
the Regency, in case of the birth of a
posthumous child. The noble Lord con-
cluded by moving that the Bill he read
a first time.— The Earl o/Eldon felt it
bis duty to fttate that he perfectly con-
curred in ithe legal principles advanced
by the Lord Chancellor, and did not
differ from him in any matter of law
which he laid down.— The Bill was
then read a first time.

Intended Royal yirit lo Guildhall.
His Majesty's intended visit to the Gty
Dinner, on Tuesday the 9th of November, for
which extensive preparations had been made,
both in Guildhall, and along the whole line
of the procession, and which liad excited such
great interest both in London and the whole
kingdom, was postponed under circumstances
that spread general alarm and consternation.
Late cm Sunday erening of the 7th, a letter
from Sir R. Peel was sent to the Corpora-
tion, annoancioc the hci : — " From infor-
mation which has been recently received,
(says Sir R. Peel) there is reason to appre-
hend that notwithstanding tlie devoted
loyalty and affection borne to his Majesty
by the citieeos of London, advantage would
be taken of an occasion which must neces-
sarily assemble a vast number of persons by
night, to create tumult and confusion, and
thereby to endanger the properties and the
lives of his Majesty's subjects." This letter
was placarded throughout the Metropolis,
and instantly circulated in every quarter,
through the ordinary channels of intelli-
gence. Tite events of the preceding week
had shewn, that among the lowest of the
populace, there was a mischievous disposi-
tion, directed especially sninst the New
Police and the Duke of Wellington. Tliis
was particularly manifested on the Tuesday,
upon his Majesty's return from opening
Parliament, and suteequcntly in the evening,
OS well as on the occasion of the Kinjps
^•revious visit to the two royal theatnes.

against the Duke and the New Police, but

natoimlly gave risa to appraheBaiooB, in the
minds of many persons, that, notwithstuid-
ing the deserved popularity of their Ma-
jesties, and the feelioge oif joy irhieh the
Koyal Visit to the City wonld excito in the
great mass of their loyal sahjecta, the pro-
sence of his Qraea woakl probably ocoisioR
some unpleasant scenes i and even two
members of the Common Conneil avowed
that they had expressed svch feelings, and
one of them had written a private letur,
warning his Grace on the subject. Tlie
Lord Mayor Elect too, but witliont ooosnlt-
ing his brother Aldermen, wrote to appriie
the Duke of an intention to mak* m attack
on his Grace's person ; stating the insnfi-
ciency of the oivil fmct to repel such an
attack; and suggesting to hb Gnoe the
necessity of '■ of going properly and snfi-
clently guarded." It appears, also, that
Ministers had received sioiihtf intimationi
from various quarters, and that sevenl
violent and inflammatory handUlls had been
published, and industrionsly circolatMl.
These circumstances induced the Duke to
determine not to attend the Dinners and
altogether led the Ministry to advise his
Majesty to relinqnish his intentioa, lest
mischief should result, and blood be shed,
(see our Parliamentary Debatee). At sooA
as this determination wtt geneimUy knowiy

The most alarming reports of conspiraeiea
reaily to burst out ; of the influx of great
bodies of men into London, prepared lor
every degree of mischief ; and of instant at-
tempts at Revolution, were rapidly cir-
culated. The funds fell three |ier cent, i
and mercantile confidence was almost at an
end. It was supposed that Ministers must
be in possession of much more alarming in-
formation than had publicly transpired ; and
the military movements ou Monday morning,
however prudent even with no further view
than that of providing against the mere pos*
sibility of disturbances ensuing from the post-
p<»nement of the expected Royal Visit, added
strength to the public apprehension of unde-
fined evils. The moat of the Tower wes
filled with water, and the bastion and bat-
teries put in a complete state of defence. A
bodv of Artillery marched in thither and
to the Barracks at the Wes tend of the town.
The Bank Guards were doubled -, and almost
all the military, to a considerable dis-
tance, were drawn up bv forced marches
to the neij;hbourhood o^ the Metropolis.
The agitation was extreme ; and it did not
begin to subside, until at the opening of the
two Houses, the speeches of Ministers, in
some degree, assured the public mind, and
showed that the measures pursued, however
they mi^Kt be condemned as hasty and ill

tle of Fuentet d'Onor in 181 1. In 1813
be exchanged upon half-pay. On the
birth-day of George tbe Third in that
year, he receiTed the brevet of Odonel ;
and on that of George tbe Fourth in
1819, the brevet of Major-General.
At tbe election of Representative Peers
for Scotland in 1806 bis Lordship was re-
turned, by 51 votes, a number exceeded
only by four other candidates i but at
tbe next election, in 1807, bis Lordship
had only 98 votes, and in consequence
WMS unsuccessful. He bad not subse-
quenily sat in Parliament.
His Lordship married Feb. SO, 1813,
Fanny, second daughter of tbe Hon.
John Rodney, Chief Secretary to Go-
vernroent at Ceylon, by bis first wife
Lady Catherine Nugent, only daughter
of Thomas sixth Earl of Westmeatb.
This Udy's elder sister bad been married
in 1810 to Lord Blantyre's brother,
Mi^or-Gen. the Hon. Patrick Sfuart.
Lady Blantyre survives, having bad tbe
following children t 1. tbe Hon. Alex-
ander, who died an infant ; 8. tbe Hon.
Catherine I 3. the Hon. Fanny-Mary;
4. tbe Right Hon. Charles now Lord

Geurgiana- Eliza; 6. the Hun. William ;
7* the Hon. Caroline-Henrietta, who
died in infancy; 8. the Hon. Walter-
Rodney; and 9* a son, born in 1897.
On the SGih of October l&st, a very full
meeting of the County of Renfrew was
convened in iheir County Hall for tbe
especial purpose of expressing the feel-
ing of the county on tbe death of Lord
Blantyre. Sir John Maxwell, of Pollok,
Bart, took the chair ; and on the motion
of Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, Bart, it
was *' Resolved, that we the Noblemen,
Freeholders, Commiasioners of Supply,
Justices of Peace, and Magistrates of
Towns, of the County of Renfrew, con-
vened for the purpose of expressing our
al&iction for the deplored death of Lt.-
Gen. Lord Blantyre, deem it to be due
to his virtues and to our feelings to re-
cord the deep sense that the county en-
tertains of the excellence of his charac-
ter, of the value of his civil and military
services, and of the public loss sustained
by his untimely death. That we feel it
becoming to perpetuate tbe remem-
brance of the attachment and respect
in which be lived to honoured and died
to lamented ; and that we desire to con-
vey to posterity a public testimony by
creetipg a Monument to tbe memory of
that truly good man." A comtBittee,

Fleet, Master of the Robes to bis M»-

This disiingoithed oAeer was deseend-
ed from tbe Baronet's family seated at
Shute in Devonshire, which is now repre-
sented by Sir William Templer Pole,
D.C.L., who is tbe seventh Baronet, and
was Sheriff for that county in 1818. Sir
John, tbe third who enjoyed tbe title,
had by bis wife Anne, daughter of Sir
William Morice, the Secretary of State
to Charles the Second, a yoonger son
Carolus, who was Rector of St. Breoek's
in Cornwall. His son, Reginald Pole,ef
Stoke Damerel in Devonshire, Esq.,
married Anne, second daughter of John
Francis Buller, of Morval in Cornwall,
Esq. ; and was father of the present
Right Hon. Reginald Pole Carew i of tbs
naval officer whose death we now recofds
another son; and two daughters, the
eldest of whom is the present dowager
Lady Summers.
Charles Morice Pule, tbe second son,
being intended for tbe sea service, and
having received a suitable education at
the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth,
embarked as a Midshipman, with Cap-
tain Locker, the late Lieutenant-Govcr^
nor of Greenwich Hospital, in theTbames
frigate, in 1773. He afterwards served
in tbe Salisbury, of 50 guns, with Sir Ed-
ward Hughes, whom he accompanied to
the East Indies ; where be received his
promotion to a Lieutenancy in the Sea-
horse frigate. From that ship be was
removed into tbe Rippon, bearing the
broad pendant of Commodore Vernon,
and was engaged in the indecisivo ac-
tions fuoght with Mons. Tranjolly. He
was also employed in tbe command of a
body of seamen and marines, at tlie
siege of Pondicherry, the capital of the
French settlements on tbe continent of
Asia ) on the surrender of whieh impor-
tant place, Oct. 17, 1778, being ad-
vanced tu tbe rank of Commander, in
tbe Cormorant sloop, be returned boms
with Sir Edward Virrnon^s dispatches ;
and, on the S3d March 1779, ten days
after his arrival, obtaining a post com-
mission, was appointed Captain of tbe
Britannia, a first rate, bearing tbe flagof

covery, thai the strange vestels alter-
warda proved to be the Apollo and Cer-
berua, British frigatei, wilh four trana-
porta under iheir convoy.
During the peace which commenced
in 11S3, Capl. Pole commanded the Sci-
pio, and afterwards the Crown guard-
ahip i tad upon occasion of lb* Spanish
C. M. Pole. G.C.B.

the effort* of the Court of Madrid, hi
the succeeding year, we find bim in the
Illuiirioui, of 74 gunsi and abuut the

neii tbe Duke of Clarence.
On the commencement of the war
with the French Republic, in lT93,Capi,
Pole waa appointed to the command of
I be Colossus, another Ihiid-rate, and
accompanied Vice-Adro. Hot hum lo the
Mediterranean. He relurned to Eng-
land after the evacuation of Tuulon by
tbe allied forces ; and was advanced to
the rank of Rear-Admiral, June I, IT9S.
After seoing fur some time in the Chan-
nel Fleet, be neM sailed fur the Weal
Indies, with his Sag in the Coloaaus, as
second in command to Sir Hugh C.
Christian. Tbe sfjuadron sailed from St.
Helen's Nov. 16, 1795 i but, having ae-
verely suffered from two violent aiurma,
Sir Hugh Christian did not finally leave
Spithead until the SOlh March, 1796.
Rear'Adm. Pole, who had been obliged,
in consequence of Ihe damage «usta1ned
by Ibe Coloisui, to remove hii Hag into
the Carnalic, another ehip of iheaame
force, did not sail for his original desti-
nation until the ISibApril. He arrived
at the Leeward lalanilt in the course of
tbe ensuing month ; and returned to
England with Sir Hugh C. Christian
(who bad beenaoperseded by Rear-Adm.
Harvey] in Ihe Beauiieu frigate, towarda
the end of tbe year. ImiDediately on bis
return to Europe, Rear-Adm. Pole waa
nominated to Ibe distinguished station
ol Finl Captain in Ibe grand fleet,
where he continued to aerve during the
wfable of Ihe period that Lofd Bridport
held the chief command i hoiiiing bia
Sag at limes during bis I^rdthip'a ab-
Gence; and the arrangementa made by
bim for tbe discipline, health, and sup-
port of the fleet, did bim ifae greateat
credit, and gave general salisfaction.
On Ihe 97lb June 17S9 Lord Bridport

[Hor.
bte eondaet by the Board of Admiralty
was narked by bit appointment to be
Commander-in-Chief and Governor of
Newfoundland, to wbich station be pro-
ceeded in the Agincoort, of 64 fcunt i
but on the indispoiitiun, and urfcrnt de-
aire of Lord Nelson to be recalled from
the Baltic, be was appointed to relieve
bit early friend in that important com-
mandy during the tammer of 1801 . On
the first day of that year he had been
advanced to the rank of Vice- Admiral.
To tucceed such an officer as the he-
roic Nelson, and at so critical a mo-
ment, waa a duty which they who know
bow bit Lordship wat regarded can best
appreciate; and no one in the navy
knew him better, or loved him with
greater sincerity, than his tucceitor ;
whoso good fortune it was, by prudence
and sagacity, to disperse every remnant
of the Northern Confederacy, which had
taken place under the auspices of Paul
]., and to complete the work which his
Lordship bad to ably commenced. In
returning from that station, the Vice-
Admiral detached a part of hit fleet, un-
der the command of Sir T. Gravet,
through the Sound i w bill t he himtelf de-
termined to make the eiperiment of past-
ing the Great Belt, with nine tail of the
line. He aceomplithed that object in the
most satisfactory manner, his flag-ship,
the St. George of 98 guno, leading ; and
as the wind was adverse, hit shipt were
under the necestity of working through,
by which meant that Channel, which
had never before been passed by line-of-
battle tbipt, wat eflfoctually explored.
Vice-Adm. Pole wat neat appointed to
the command of the squadron off Cadiz )
whither he immediately repaired in the
St. George, and remained watching that
port until the suspension of hostilitiet
at the latter end of the year, enabled
him to return to England. During his
absence, he was raised to the dignity of
» Baronet, at of Wolverton in Hamp-
shire, by patent dated Sept. 19, 1601.
At the general election in 1808 Sir
Charlet M. Pole wat returned to Parlia-
ment for Newark. On Mr. Addington
coming into power he Joined with the
Earl of St. Vincent in projecting an in-
quiry into the naval expenditure, for
which the return of peace then aflTorded
an opportunity. A Board wat accor-
dingly eonstituted, to inquire into the
abuses in the civil department of the
Navy and other branches of public ex-
penditure, and Sir Charles M. Pole wat
appointed Chairman; the other roem-
bert were, Ewan Law, John Ford, and
Henry Nicbolls, Esqs. (The last-named,
who had been before placed in connec-
tion with Sir C. M. Pole as CapUin of
the Baltic Ocet, died only a fortnight be-
fort him, and hat a memoir in •«
September number.) After tome ana-
voidable delay in arranging the neeeasaiy
preliminariet, the first report wat pre-
sented to the House of Commona* and
ordered to be printed. May ISa IfiOS. It
concerned the conduct of I be naval ttore-
keepert at Jamaica; theaeeond rtapcM-
ed the <' Cheat at Chatham/' an intiitn-
tM>n for the relief of teamen maimed
and wounded in the tetviea of tbeir
country. In consequence of tbit imve^
tigation, on the S3d \>i July 1803, Sir
Charlet Pole brought up the Bill for
transferring to the Dlrectora of Greea-
wich Hospital the administration off
the Chesty and many beneficial con-
sequences have ensued froln that maa-
sure.
The next sub,^ct of invettlgatfoo wai
the block contract and the eooper'a
contract; the fbartby prise agency |
concerning which, notwltbttandliig the
general outcry, <' abutca and irregalari*
tiet, rather than fraud." were ditcovera-
ble. The next, the Slxpetnly Oflficoi the
sixth, Plymouth and Woolwich Yardai
the seveniht le Caton Hotpilal-ahip, and
the Naval Hoapital at Eaat Stoiiehouflet
the eighth, bit li^^xy't Viclaalling
department at Plymouth, and the em-
beaalement of the King's caakti and
the ninth, the reeeipt and Itaoe of storea
in Plymouth Yard. In all these depart*
mentt, it appeart that eiiiier great irre-
gularitiei, or grott fraudt, were evident i
but it wat the tenth report, ordered to
be printed February 13tb, 1805, that
chiefly engaged the attention of the pub-
lic, and furnished grounds of the memo-

During these laborioua investigations,
the Commiiaioners sat daily from five to
seven hours ; and, in addition to bra par-
ticular share in that duty. Sir Charlea
Pole was frequently obliged either aome*
times to explain or to defend their conduct
in his place in Parliament. On the 8d
of May 1605, it was carried, on a motion
of Mr. Sheridan, that the Commisalonert
had, « as far as appeart from their re-
ports, exerted themtelvet with diligience,
ability, and fortitude} and that the
whole of their conduct in the ardoooa
doty entrusted to them, baa entitled
them to the gratitude, approbation, and
encouragement of the Route." Sir
Charles M. Pole continued to fill the
post of Chairman of the Board until
February 1806, when be waa called to a

This offleer entered the army m Lieu-
tenant in the 47th foot, Sept. S7, 1801 i
and was promuted to a Captaincy in
i805. He was a lon|c time in Indie, and
under the notorious General Wbitelocke
in South America. From the 47th lie
ezcbani^ed into the G5tb, of which be
was senior Major for several years i and,
about tbree years pasty eacbanffed into
tbe 74tb.
On tbe day of bis death be was fol-
low in f^ bis rei^iment on horseback, ap-
parently in perfect health, when be
stopped opposite a small tavern in tbe
military road, and dismounting, entered
tbe bouse with bis bands on bis beady
sat down and said, ** There is sometbinff
<»min|p over me;" and afterwards,
«< Good God ! take off my coat, I am
getting a fit." He was immediately car-
ried to a bed; and instantaneously ex-
pired* On an inquest it was determined
that be bad died *' by tbe visitation of
God."
Major Hutchison was endowed with
niaoy engaging qualities of bead and
ImuwC; hit brother offlcen esteemed
him, and bis soidiers beheld bim with
regard and affection. He was a gallant
olBoer ; and in private life a perfect gen-
tleman, of most affable and unobtrusive
deportment. He has left a widow and a
little daughter.
Rbv. David Roderick.
jtug, SI . At Cbulesbury, Bucks, aged
86, tbe Rev. David Roderick, M.A. Per-
petual Curate of Cbulesbury, and Lec-
turer of Cholesbury and Wigginton.
Mr. Roderick was a native of Wales,
and descended from one of tbe most il-
lustrious families of that Principality.
Having commenced bis education at
Harrow, be completed it at Queen's
College, Oxford, where be attained tbe
degree of M.A. Nov. 15, 1769. He was
a Junior Master gf Harrow School, at
tbe time of tbe late Dr. Parr (then Se-
cond Master) becoming a candidate for
tbe Head-mastersbip in 1771; and on
that distinguished scholar's failure in
that great object of his ambition, was
induced from strong personal attachment
to accompany bim to bis new establish-
ment at Harrow. The circumstance is
thus noticed by one of the learned Doc-
tor's biographers, Mr. Field : *< From
Harrow Dr. Parr was followed to Stan-
more by so large a number as forty of
his former scholars; and these, says
Mr. Maurice, were in general the flower
of tbe school in tbe zenith of its glory.
Nor was this all. Another gratifying
proof was on this occasion exhibited, of
tbe sympathy which unmerited suffering
a f u/e to excite j and of the esteem and
admiration which high dcfertscldonfiili
to call forth, and to attach with ardent
devotion to itself. The leeond assistant
under the late Dr. Sumner was tbe Rev.
David Roderick, who, on the reeignatlon
of Dr. Parr, was earnestly solicited by the
governor to remain at Harrow, and to fill
up tbe vacant place of bead assistant
under tbe new master* But from con-
cern or indignation at tbe wrong which
had been done in defeating claims so
just as those of the r^eeted candidate,
he resisted all their intreatiea ; and an-
noonced bis determination to follow the
fortunes of bis friend, and to support by
his name and his services the intended
establishment at Stanmore. The credit
of an honourable name, tendered in a
manner so encouraging to Dr. Parr, was
joyfully accepted by him ; and tbe ser-
vices of an instructor of tried fiddilj
and known ability were received with
respectful and grateful regard by all
those for whose benefit they were un-
ceasingly exerted. Mr. Roderick is a
man of very considerable powcra of
mind, of much acquired knowMge» and
of great moral worth i and It haa always
been a sul^eet of regret to his name-
roos friends and pupils, that none of tbo
preferments of the church have ever
been bestowed tipon him, who contri-
buted to rear so many of its ftrmctt sop-
porters, and some of its brightest or-
naments."
How long Mr. Roderick continued the
profession of schoolmaster, we are not
aware; but it was in 1776 that the
school of Stanmore was broken up. Dr.
Parr, in bis last will, speaks in the
warmest terms of " his old and bis trusty
friend." After having bequeathed a
small legacy and a mourning^ringtotfae
Rev. David Roderick, be adds, ** whose
sound understanding, whose various and
deep learning, whose fidelity as a friend,
and whose uprightness and piety as a
Christian, have for tbe space of filty
years endeared bis very name to my
soul."
Mr. Roderick made some agreeable
communications to Mr. Field's biogra-
phy ; and to tbe larger work written by
Dr. John Johnston of Birmingham,under
tbe auspices of Dr. Parr's family, be fur-
nished much important assistance. (See
particularly vol. i. pp. 58-63, 74-76;
vol. Vf It. pp. S33-S35.) Two of bis letters
to Dr. Parr are given in vol. viu. pp.
231-333.
The late Rev. Thomas Maurice, In bis
auto-biographical Memoirs, (part ii. pp.
47-131,) has given a long description of
a tour he took to Netberby in Cumber^
land, and thence to Glasgow, in compa-
ny wilh Mc^ Roderick, in tbe year 1775.

Roden was one ;— and who most ho-
nourably, through tbat connection pre-
sented him in 1817 to the Rectory of

Mr. Powlett bad a great ambition of
-authorship, but not the industry and
Judgment, nor perhaps the geniuf, to
render himself eminent in it. AtMUt
tbe year 1785 he published a Transla-
tion of Bishop Huntingford's beautiful
Greek Monostrophies ; a task not quite
-Judiciously chosen, since the merit of
such things is in the proof of elegant
scholarship, which a translation back
into tbe ▼ernacular language could never
display. He had a great ease of fa-
miliar versification ; but no vigour or
originality. His mind was a light soil,
and threw op light and hastily cultured
fruit.
In 1793 he published "The Danger
of too great an indulgence in Specula-
tive Opinions," 4to ; in 1812 «• A Fa-
ther's Reasons for beiog a Christian,*'
8vo) and in 1813, « Tbe True Cause of

He had always a feeble frame; but
•latterly his extreme deafness was a great
bar to his enjoyment of social pleasures.
But tbe croues in life which he encoun-
tered at every turn, never embittered
bis spirit. He was cheerful, benevo-
lent, conscientious^ and virtuous. He
bad some qualities of tbe mind sufll-
eient to have distinguished biro, under
due discipline ; but his equivocal birth,
and unsteady education, and mingled
early babitn, threw ingredients into the
constructicHi of his character, which
would never allow it to be formed into
a consistent wlu>le.

R. J. Lawrence, Esq.
iVev. 8. In Crawford-streec, baring Just
completed his 85th year, Riohard James
Lawrence, Eaq. of Fairfield in Jaasaiea.
He was of tbe family of Lawrence, of
which a history is given in our voL
Lxxzv. ii. 13, and great-grandson of
Henry Lawrence, of Saint Ives, President
of tbe Council of State during tbe Com-
monwealth. He was educated at Eton,
and having been entered n GcnUeman
Comnaoner at St. Mary Hall, be contri-
buted to the gratnUtiona of Oafoid en
tbe birth of tbe late King George JV.;
and though this has proved bis only pub*
lication, yet so promiaing were bia ta-
lents, that the celebrated Lord Clieater-
field offered blm a seat in Parliament on
tbe most advantageous terma ; but bis
spirit of independence refused to be
brought in by any patron. Still he found
too many charms in European aodcty
to live in his natal island, as his thiee
immediate ancestors had Uved, behived
by their slaves, and exercising toward all
strangers a patriarchal hospitality. In
1803, being arrested in France^ together
with his eldest son, tbe Chevalier James
Henry Lawrence, Knight of Malta, be
waa during several years a witness of all
the atrocities of the Imperial Govern-
ment towards our British travelleia;
atrocities which Buonaparte baa expi-
ated so justly at St. Helena. While they
remained in. tbe same depot, Mr. Law-
rence, to avoid tbe reproaches which,
however unmerited, an affectionate fa-
ther might have made himself, bad they
been retaken together, and suffered in a
dungeon tbe penalty of their evasion,
bad constantly refused to evade with his
son. But at length, being confined in
different towns, scarcely had he heard of
bis son's succpstful flight, than in tbe
disguise of a sailor he embarked in a lit-
tle German vessel, which, having beat
about against wind and tide, at length

Regalia of Scotland*
[Dee.
It is, therefore, with the view of
contributing some additional illustra-
tion towards the history of these inte-
resting relics of royalty, that I tran-
scribe some passages which occur in
letters from Sir John Clerk, one of the
Barons of the Scottish Exchequer, ad-
dressed to Andrew Mitchell, Esq.*
Deputy Secretary to the Marquis of
Tweecfdale, then Principal Secretary of
State for Scotland, preserved in the
collection of Mitchell Papers in the
British Museum, vol. Ivii. In the Brst
of these, dated from Pennicuik, May
6, 1744, Baron Clerk writes »
"I amjuit now returned from somrvititt
I wai obliged to make in the shire of Nitht-
dale, and where 1 heard a very odd story
averred, that, in my opinion, deserves some
notice. It seems, all the people there believe
that the Regalia of Scotland^ ajppointed to be
kept here by the 94/A article of the Treaty rf
Union, tcere stolen out qf the Castle some
years ago. Now, though I believe that this
IS a piece of calumny raised to promote dis-
contents, yet I am resolved, on the meeting
of the Exchequer, to inquire about these
Regalia, which 1 hww were deposited in the
Castle, in March 1707. I find that some
of the Jacobites imagine that they were car-
ried to Rome, and are in the possrssion of
their master; and others assert that they
ware carried off by order of the Minutry,
subsequent to the Union. You may men-
tion all this to my Lord Marquise, in case he
has any thing to recommend about them }
for though what I have told you may be as
&lse as ridiculoiu, yet I humbly think it
ought to be Inquired into, unless it be true
that by Queen Ann or by the late King's
order tnej were carried away, in which case
it may be best not to inquire further. I hope
I have been entertaining jou with a ground-
less itory ; and yet my experience with the
affiirs of this country makei it at least ne-
cessary for roe, as one of the Barons, to sa-
tisfie myself iu this point."
In a postscript is added :
'* I shall think it the more necessary to
nquire about the Regalia, that I remember
the provision for them was made by my
Lord Marquise's fiitber,f and some of his
* Afterwards Sir Andrew Mitchell, and
Minister from the English Court to Frede-
rick the Great of Prussia, during the Seven
Years' War.
t This is a mistake. It must have been
the Marquis's grandfather, John Hay, se-
cond Marquis of Tweeddale, who was Lord
High Chancellor of Scotland in 1704, and
died in 1713. Charles, the third Marquis,
only enjoyed the title two years, and dying
in 1715, was succeeded by John, the fourth
Aiarqulg, who is the nobleman aboire re-
Amd to, appoiated in 1749 Principal Se-
tffSuu for Scotlaud.—- ^00(1.
friends, in the Parliament ef Stfollaod » for
the ^4th Article of the Tusaty of UnioDy at
it was conceded by the Commissioners of
the Union in England, contained no sodi
thing. If vou want a Gothick deseriptioa
published at Edinburgh.'
Mr. Mitchell's reply io the above it
not preserved ; but in Sir John ClerkV
next leiter, dated from Marisbankr
Aug. 4, 1744, he ^oes on with the
ftateinent of his inquiries :
'* You may rememlier that in May last 1
acquainted you of a fooluh notm tnat pcc-
vailed all over the South of thb toumuj,
that our Regalia were carried away, i heva
made the best inquiry I conid wUh ike leaM
noise, and find that story to eome oat ia a
very shameful way ; namely, that a nmi
under-clerk qfthe Privy CmmcU qfSeoUmsdf
one fVillaone, threw the keys where they wen
kept in the Castle rf Edinburgh^ into ike
Nor* Lock: so, it seems, after they were
sent back to the Castle by an order of the
Council, in pursnanoe of the fi4th Aitide of
the Treaty of Union, they were put under
no body's care; therefore, if thev rimiin
where tAey were put, we owe the cioligitkNi
to the honesty of every Castle-eooldier.
However, I cannot help tfainkiBg that,
though these Regalia be of little oae nom,
yet as meer antiquities they ought to be pta-
served ; and for that reason, a signed oader
by his Majesty ia the only proper way to
have them lookt after. I told jou in my
letter upon this subject, that the Marquise
of Twedale waa one of the chief men who
took care f(»r their preservation, and there-
for it will perhaps be expected that oar
friend the present Marquise should oontinae
the same care for them ; in the mean time*
I intend to be silent and never mention thena
more, except I find them where they vera
left:*
In a third letter from the same, dated
from Pennicuik, SepL 20, 1744, he
writes :
"As to our Regalia, I own to yen I
thought shame to be hunting for them. If
they are not carried away I think they should
be keept in better order than probably they
are. I told you in my last that one Wiliaone,
an underclerk of the Council, had Uiem in
such veneration, that he thought the v^dtfere
qf Scotland depended on them ; <uid therefor
since they were to be abandon d^ andtobe/or
ever %tseless, he certainly either threw the keys
iff the chest where they lay into the Narbck,
or, as some say, ordered them to be burried
with him in the same coffin. Thb is all I
shall ever be able to discover about them ;
but I think it would be very progper if his

ceeded, and the riles and usages of an-

it wai made the subject of aa official
regulation of the M^iitracy. It had
been practised within the borough
from time immemorial, but about the
beginning of the reign of Hen. VII.
the butchers finding it both trouble-
some and inconvenient to provide ani-
mals for the public amusement, endea-
voured to evade the requisition ; but it
was made imperative upon them by
the following edict of the Mayor and
Burgess«s, which was incorporated
into a code of ordinances that were
made and agreed to on the 23d of Oc-
tober, 1499» for the better government
of the borough :
« Also, that no Bocher flee or kill no Bull
flesche w*in thb Bureh, nor thmt none be
brouffht to sell bot if the Boll be bayted
openlye before the Mair and his bargeesee,
peon of fbrfMt^ of ev'v debult ris. viljtf.
Also that the Bochers of this FTancheis, and
al others that keue slaughter shopes and kill
fletche in tbb Franeheis, to sell, mak onyt
yerl J befor the Mair and his boigesses one
BuU-baytlng, at convenient Tjme of the
jere, according to the custom of this Fran-
cbe'is befor usyd, upon peyn of forfeitur of
vj4. iiijd.*'
In the reign of Charles I. an instance
occurs of the violation of this ordi-
nance ; and it is formally recorded in
the Mayor's Court Book, that a fine
was imposed by the Chamberlains on
Robert Camm for " killing a bull, and
not first baiting him, according to the
custom of the Corporation."
These sports were conducted with
great cruelty. To make the animal fu-
rious, gunpowder was frequently flashed
up his nose, and pepper blown into
his nostrils; and if this failed io make
him shew game, his flesh was lacerated,
and aquafortis poured into the wound.
About sixty years ago, a bull was put
to the stake at Grimsby ; but the ani-
mal proving too tame, one William
Hall put a spike or brad into his stick,
and goaded the poor creature until the
blood flowed copiously from several
parts of his body; and at length, by
continually irritating the lacerated
parts, the bull became enraged, and
roaring in the extremity of his torturcy
succeeded in tossing his assailant, to
the infinite gratification of his cruel
persecutors. It is recorded, to the cre-
dit of Mr. Alderman Hesleden, that
during his Mayoralty in 1779t the an-
nual exhibition was disallowed; from
which time the custom declined, al-
though some insUiicesof this inhuman
pastime have subsequently occurred.
Sirutt sap, that in some of the him-
ket towns of EittUiiid, the BnU-rMgi
to which the unrortonate aniinals wcr
fastened, are remain iug to the pranM
time. At Grimsby, the arena wbcia
this brutal ceremony waa perfonncd, ii
still distinguished by the name of the
" Boll Ring.** The ancient itone nd
ring were removed about thirty yean
since, but the chain is still in potiet'
sion of the Chamberlaint, who past it
annually to their successors i and it ii
sometimes applied to the porpoae of
fastening up a gate, when a dittrcsi ii
made on a field belonging to the Cor-
poration for rent ; but its primitive use
IS wholly superseded by the abolition of
the amusement. Geo. Olitxk. -

THE turbulent and disturbed tttta
of a certain description of the
peasantry, arises from an obvioos
cause; and is entirely an aerienliaril
case, well understood by the landed
proprietors. History shows oa thai
roalpractioes somewhat similar to thoso
we unfortunately witness, but noi
of so atrocious a character, have
occurred at difierent periods; and
much mischief has been eActed, for
want of some permanent healfifrce'^
capable at once of checking anid pot*
ting down the evil designs of the
unprincipled ; or of others seeking
a remedy for distress, by illegal and
criminal means. The regular troops
and a few yeomanry cannot be exet^
where. The Militia may not be em-
bodied. The Volunteer corps cost
annually above a million sterling; and
to have them tolerably disciplined,
time, that can be but ill spared, is ma-
terially encroached on. Tnere is, how-
ever, an adequate and efficient force,
costing comparatively but little, aiMl
which acting pro aris eljbcit woakl rea-
dily turn out promptly on any emergency.
The Constabulary is in fact the old
and constitutional safeguard of the
public peace, and can alwajrs be de-
pended on, because always at hand.
To come at once to the essential
plan wanted for the consunt mainte-
nance of good order, when threatened
by the evil disposed,— let all males,
of well-known orderly habits, be-
tween the age of sixteen and sixty,
be sworn in as perpetual e&tuiabiet

not the first person wno nai ap-
plied loyour readers for informaiion on
the pedigree of ibc gallant Sir Sidney
Smith. A similar inntiTTy may be
found in ihe Gentleman's Maeazine for
180g,« from a writer who used the
same signature, and who daied his let-
ter from " Oatenhanp
aoeienlsealofihcVi«
which ihe present Viicount has, with
a laudable feeling, rccenlly purchased.
Through the kindness of a professional
friend, 1 aro able to state, thai, notwiih-
standiuR the similarity of the arms and
of the liapiiimal name of the Hero
of Acre to those of the present Lord
StraoRford, no connection has been
founiT between their families; and, as
his Lordship's pedigree has lately been
elaborately examined, there i> strong
reason lo belieie thai no rclalionship
The family of Sm; Ihe. from which
Viscount Slrangford is descended, was
seated at Corsham in Wiltshire ascaily
as thetifteenihcenlury. RoberlSmyihe
of Corsham died in 1 b 13, and his eldest
son, John Smylhe, Esq., who died hi
I53B, left, by Joan daughter of Robert
Broancker of Melksham (the ancesior
of the Viicounl Brouncker), five sons,
— John, Thomas, Henry, Robert, and
Richard — and three daughters, Anne,
Jane, and Elizabeth ; whoare all men-
tioned in their father's will, dated Isl
April. 1.^38, and proved on the Hlh of
November following.
Tkoniai Smt/lhf, the second of ihese
sons, settled in London, and became
Fanner of the Cusioms to Queen Mary
and Queen Elizabeth. He purchased
the eiiaic of Ostenhanger, and other
properly, in Kent, and died in lagl,
ageil 69. By Alice, daughter and heir
o( Sir Andrew Judde, Loid Mayor of
London, with whom he acquired the
Manor of Ashford, be had seven
sons and several daughters. Andrevi
Smi/Ihe, Ihe eldest son, died in in-
fancy. iSir John, the !nd son, wis the
ancestor of the present Viscount;
Henry, the Srd son, settled at Cor-
sham and BayJon, and his son Thomas
entered his pedigree at ibe Visitation of
Willi, in 1023. Sir Thoma,, the 4th
son, who was Ambassador lo Russia in
IGIH, bought the manor of Bidbotouah,
ill Kent, and his mate descendauti be-
came extinct on the dEalhofiheRiiht
Hon. Sir Sydney Staflbrd Smyihe,
Chief BaroDofthe Exchequer, in 177B.
The Right Hon. Sir Richard Smylhe,
of LeedsCosile, in Kent, the 5lb son of
the Customer, died in 1683 ; and, as
his only son Sir John Smyihe died
3. p. in 1632, the male descendants of
his father then failed. Hoberl, lhe6th
son, was living at Highgate in ihe (ilh
James I. and left a son named Jiihn,of
the whomnothingmorcisknown. Symon,
mgford, the 7lh son, was killed at the siege of
Cadiz, in 1597, aged S7.
Sir John Smuihe, ibe etdeil son of
Customer Smyihe, married Elizabeth,
daughter and heir of John Fineux,
Esq. son of Chief Justice Kinenx, of
Heme, in Kent, and dying Sgih Nov.

lain that no other male descendant ex-

were allowed to the younger branches
at the Heralds* Visitation of Wiltshire
in l6Sd, upon the production of an an*
cient seal, then, it is said in the
Visitation, two hundred years old.f
Customer Smylhe, however, obtained
two grants of arms to himself and his
descendants, differenced from the old
coat ; the first grant being per pale Or
and Azure, a chevron between three
lions passant guardant counterchanged :
and the second grant, from Claren-
cieux Cooke, in 1588, was the coat and
crest now used by his noble descendant;
namely, " Azure, a chevron engrailed
between three lions passant guardant
Or.'* Crest — " An ounce's head erased
Arsent, Pelletee, and gorged with a

The arms and crest of Sir Sidney
Smith, however they may he described
in Ike instrument, are in fact a nbw
grant, and were founded upon the coat
allowed to Customer Smyitie in 1588,
from the idea that he was descended
from that person, though the pedigree
could not be deduced ; a common prac-
tice where a connection between a
grantee and a family entitled to Arms is
presumed to exist. But an heraldic eye
will at once discover, by the chevron
being charged with *' a wreath of laurel
Proper between two crosses Calvary
Sable,* and by the crest being *' a
leopard's head Proper, gorged with a
plam collar, therefrom aline reflexed,"
that the Arms and Crest of Sir Sidney
Smith are totally distinct from thoae of
the Viscounts Strangford.

Walk throHgh the HigkUrnds.
[Dec.
by ihe Water of Nets, which is here a
shallow bat extremely rapid stream,
and the whole district wore an appear-
ance of cheerful nesliand hilarity. The
barley was in sheaf, and seemed
abundant. As we entered Inverness
the inhabitants were returning from
kirk, and both men and women bore
the most primitive appearance. The
old men with their bonnets and staves,
—the gade wives with their gay and
plaided cloaks, — the maidens, with
their snooded tresses, powerfully ar«
rested our attention ; and our garb and
general appearance seemed to cause
equal astonishment to them. We
marched into Bennett's Hotel at four,
and found it worthy of all commen-
dation. Pedestrians as we were, we
were treated like princes ; and we noted
it down as the very best quarters it had
ever been our good fortune to enter.
Inverness, throughout its whole ex-
tent, has an appearance of the greatest
neatness and comfort. Some of the
buildings, such as the Town Hall, and
the principal church, are upon a large
scale, handsome and highly orna-
mental. We also noticed the large
school-room, in which, I believe, is a
tolerable library. But the greatest or-
nament to the town is its bridge, over
the Water of Ness ; at this place broad
and handsome, and dividing the town
into two parts. With this inspection
we were much gratified, and regretted
that our sojourn was to be so short.
In the evenmg we had a most delight-
ful walk through the corn-ftelds lead-
ing to the Caledonian Canal, which
wc crossed, and arrived at the foot of
ihe celebrated hill Craig Phadric.
This we meant to have ascended for
the purpose of inspecting the vitrified
forts to be found on its brow. But the
shades of evening were fast gathering
around ; and we were compelled to
relinquish the attempt.
From Inverness nomewards there
are comparatively few objects of curi-
osity ; we therefore took a carriage.
The weuther was delightful, the roads
good, and the country exceedingly
pleasant. In the distance Fort George
IS visible. Soon after this the road
becomes dreary and uninteresting; no-
thing but heath and mountain ; but
we pleased ourselves not a little by our
now luxurious mode of travelling, and
arrived at Aviemore Inn to dinner at
five. After the usual rest, we pro-
ceeded a twelve or fifteen mile sta^e
to the next inn, Pitmain.
Next day we proceeded to the Falb
of Bruars. Close adjoining is a cot-
tage, the inhabitants of which have the
keys of the walks, and act as guides to
strangers. The grounds are adorned
by two or three moss- houses, from
whose windows the Falls appear to
advantage. In one of thetn we were
shown the verses of Bums, wherein he
complains to the Duke that the Falls
are bare of trees, and neglected, though
worthy of a better fate. The appcd
very deservedly met with success ; and
the banks of Bruars were insuntly
shaded with trees, which do not, how-
ever, appear very flourishing. Indeed,
the whole place even now wears an
aspect of neglect. The road onwards
increased continually in interest; the
hills became well wooded and pictu-
resque ; the ground on each side rising
into the most agreeable undulations;
and finally we came in view of Blair
Atholl. While the horses were bait-
ing, we wandered, by the pale moon,
under the deep dark shade of the ve-
nerable trees, in every direction orna-
menting the park ; while the far-off
landscape seemed to us almost a scene
of enchantment. With the appear-
ance of the house we were disappoint-
ed ; particularly when we called to
mind the sieges and the battles which
it had witnessed. It is now consider-
ably and not very tastefully modern-
ized, and glared through the moonlight
an unsightly and uninteresting mass of
white-wash. It was at this time un-
der repair, and closed to the public.
The surrounding country is truly beau-
tiful, the hills superb, and covered with
wood to an immense extent. Imme-
diately on quitting the village of Blair,
we passed under an arch which crossed
the road; the lofty and tufted trees
cast around a solemn and chequered
shade, and I shall ever remember the
pleasure the scene afforded me. The
Pass of Killierankie, farther on, has
been much altered in appearance
within a few years, from the planta-
tions and improvements of the Duke
of Atholl. It is extremely narrow,
rising on the left into lofty hills,
crowned with trees to their very sum-
mits, and exhibiting a most pleasing
and noble appearance. Below, on
the right, was the noble river Tay, its
banks also clothed with wood. Alto-
gether, the scenery is most magniBcent,
and our ride delighted us.

On Painted or Lombru^eaUd Apartmenii.
[Dae.
^MMTtioiii of these panels* as divided by
Ahe saw, consisliog of legs and arms
in armour, are of no use but to assist
in determining the period in which
the paintings were executed.* It re-
mains therefore, only to make some
observations on the age of these pic-
tares, and the purpose for which they
were painted.
In reference to the latter head it
must be remarked, that the custom of
painting wainscotted or lambruscated
apartments, (as they are termed in old
records; a barbarous Latin word de-
med from the French ** lambris,**)
^ith historical subjects, sacred or pro-
fane, was certainly in use as early as
the reign of Henry III.; see the do-
cuments referred to by Walpole, and
consulted by Vertue, the antic|uary and
artist, in proof of the antiquity of his-
torical painting in this country.
■ <'Ajino 1988, 17 Hciory III. Manda-
aam est Vioecomiti South'too, quod Csdm*
nm regis Umbnucatam de oattro Wintom
dapingi faoiat eiidem hiitoriit eS pictaris
^uibus fuerat pri'us depicts*'*
Thus it clearly appears that the
wainscot of chambers was paintedwith
representations of connected passages
of history, even before this early pe-
riod, for the order is for renewing the
subjects whidi had been depicted,
leaaing to the inference of a consi-
derable previous lapse of time to render
such renovation necessary. In anoiher
document, from the same source and
period, i he King commands his Trea-
surer to disburse lo Odo the Gold-
smith, 1 17 shillings and 10 pence, for
oil, varnish, and colours purchased, and
pictures painted in the Queen's cham-
ber at Westminster. By this last
quoted entry, the knowledge of oil
painting as early as the thirteenth cen-
tury may be also inferred.
The practice of ornamenting cham-
bers with historical or fanciful designs
and inscriptions, painted od the walls,
is often noticed by the veoenble
Chaucer :
** And soth to faine my ehaaabre
Fol val depaintid
And all the wals witli coloan fina
Were painted bothe taxte and g1osa»
And all the Romaunt of the Roae."
Chaucer^* Dreme.
Again,
** But when I woke all was ypast.
For ther nas ladj oe creture.
Save on the wals old portraitura
Of horsemen, hawkis, and houodis.
And hurt dere all fill of woondit." Ibid,
In another passage we find both
painting and tapestry mentioned :
" I wol give him aU that lallea
To his chambre and to his halles^
I will do palate hem with pare gulden
And tapiu hem ful many a iblde." IHL
And in the Romaunte of the Roaa
is this couplet :
** Sorowe was paintid next Eiina
Upon that ml of SBatonrie."
The above citations are snffictent to
show the prevalence of the custom of
decorative painting on walla and wam-
scoting in the middle ages,*)^ and I eo«
tertain from these premises no doubt
but the pictures at Baston formed a
portion of the ornaments of the walls
of the ancient manor-house at that
place, which in the latter end of the
fourteenth century was prt of the pos-
sessions of the ancient and opulent fa-
mily of Squerry,t whose name is still
commemorated in that of Squerry^t
Park, attached to a demesne which
they possessed at Westerham, in a
neighbouring quarter of the county.
The age of these paintings may,
from the costume of the figures, and
the character § of the remaining in-
scriptions, with much certainty be
fixed towards the latter half bt the
fourteenth century, about 1480. The
pattern on the tunics and tapestry re-

these excellenciet in etchings of the
present sise. The colouring of the fi-
gures is exceedingly deep and rich, and
has heen splendidly contrasted by the
use of a pigment of real gold in the
crowns, sceptres, borders of the gar-
menu, &c.
I believe the Society of Antiquaries
would have caused Mr. Stoi hard's
drawings from these pictures to be en-
graved for one of their publications,
but for the difFicolty which presented
itself of conveying any adequate idea of
their beauty without the assistance of
colours.
Alfred John Kempb.
Mr. Urban, Paris, Oct, 25.
THE generic term Celt is usually
attributed to the people, who, in
remote ages, inhabited Gaul, Spain,
and the British islands. Scarcely any
one doubts that, until the Romans
extended their conquests, and thus
brought those countries within the
sphere of civilization, ' their various
tribes bore the characteristics of a com-
mon race. We almost intuitively
think that the dialects now used by. the
Welsh, Irish, Highlanders, Bretons,
Basques, &c. are all derived from the
original Celtic language; and that the
Druids of Britain and Gaul practised
the same rites, and taught the same
notions: but we have no means of
ascertaining the condition of the Celts ;
and while some persons maintain that
the original inhabitants of those coun-
tries, but particularly Gaul, had made
considerable proij;res2i in civilization,
there are others who contend that, un-
til the Romans settled among them,
they were not more advanced than the
Indians of America.
The advocates of the latter hypothe-
sis call fur the traces of organised so-
ciety; and argue that, as the Celts
have left neither national history, nor
monuments, nor even any medals or
implements to show their knowledge
of metals, they must be considered as
Ignorant and barbarous tribes. To
support ihis opinion, they deny the
antiquitv of the ruins said to be Celtic ;
the medals so called they attribute to
the Greeks who were settled at Mar-
seilles ; while they assume the absence
of I heir authors from the silence of the
Romans, who would have referred to
the Celtic chronologistii and poets, if
ihcfe had been any. The few Cells,
who hjr the tuition of their more po-
lished neighbours, were enabled to
write Latin, rather prove the Mraot of
a native literature, than otherwise: for,
among the most barbaroas nations
there are to be found indivtd oak en-
dowed with sufficient natural under-
standing to benefit by instruction, if
they happen to come within its range ;
*< Full many a gem of purest ray serene.
The dark, unfathom'd caves of ocean bear."
And if none of them were induced to
write in Celtic, it is best accounted
for by supposing the few learned Cehs
to have been aware that no one would
be able to read their compositions. .
Many persons who now inquire into
antiquity, apply their investigations to
the subject, more in the hope of over-
turning some popular hyfjothesis, than
with a view of eliciting information $
they endeavour to raise a doobt, and
then pride themselves on their supe-
riority over those '* who are ready to
believe any thing,** The exertions of
a diligent and sincere antiquary are,
therefore, of great value to the reuubliq
of letters ; and such a person is un-
questionably to be founa in the Mar-
Jjuis de Furtia d*Urban, who is inde-
ati^able in promoting the discuision
of history and archaeology.
This gentleman is an advocate of
Celtic civilization, and has inserted an
essay on the subject, in the fifth
volume of the *' Annals of Hainault,'*
by Jacques de Guysc, now publishing

the reasonings of the Marquis on this
subject, but an outline of his princi-
pal arguments cannot fail of interesting
some of your readers.
M. de Fortia does not disguise the
great difficulty there is in obtaining
positive information res))ecting the na-
tions of antiquity, even among those
who have left memorials :—
" Tlie Egyptians, with their hieroglyphics
and their pyramids, have not succeeded ia
transmitting to us the ideas which those
pyramids and hieroglyphics were destined to
preserve. The language known under the
name of the Sanscrit, has come down tn us ;
we have manuscripts which have perpetuated
works in it; we have succeeded in trans-
lating them ; hut yet we do not know who
spoke the Sanscrit."

4. The decav of Celtic civilization
•oon followed ine Roman conquest, as
the invasion of the Franks speedily de-
stroyed the manners and sciences which
had become familiar to the Gauls,
from their intercourse with Rome.
Other countries have experienced simi«
lar changes. The neighbourhood of
Tunis bears no trace of the splendour
of ancient Carthage ; and the countries
now brutalized under the Mahometan
yoke, were at one time as far advanced
m civilization as any part of the tlien
known world.
M. de Fortia carries his hypothesis
still further, and supposes that in the
most ancient times a dearee of ad-
vancement was attained, from which
mankind in general have since de*
clined : —
<*Thui," saya be» *'tbe Sanscrit ia su*
perbr to the Oreek, the Greek to the Lap
tin, and that to our modem jargons. Ho-
mer, Demosthenes, Herodotus, and Archi-
medes, were not equalled at Rome ; Cicero,
Virgil, Pliny, and Seneca, have not had
among the moderns any rival really worthy
of them. It is by admiring Euripides and
Sophocles, that Racine has succeeded in
placing himself Inside them ; and Euclid
Das never had a more zodous partizan than
Newton."
This subject affords a vast scope for
discussion,* and few will take more
interest in its elucidation, than

HE first profession of Knights
Templars was as a safeguard of
the Pilgrims going to visit the Holy
Sepulchre. They commenced in the
year 1185, being in the reign of
Hen. II. Their number, in the year
1228, when Honorius was Pope,
amounted to only nine; but they very
soon increased their numbers. In the
time of Pope Eu^enius they had red
crosses upon their upper garments,
that they might be distinguished from
others, after their retirement from the
Holy Land.
In pursuance of a decree made by
the Great Council at Vienna, anno
1234, respecting the profession of the
Knights Tempfars, Eaward III. grant-

ed the Temple to the KnTghtt Hoipi-
tallers of Saint John of JemsaleiD. It
was afterwards granted by them at a
rent of 10/. per annum, to dtrera pro-
fessors of the law, under the name of
the '* Students of the Common Law of
England.*' Tbese latter seem to hart
migrated fromThaviesInn.inHolboni.
The New Temple was so called, be-
cause the Knights Templars had pf«-
viously a building in Oldboarne termed
The Temple. The New Temple was
founded in the time of Henry II., aod
in the year 1185 it was dedicated to
the Virgin Mary by Heraclius, Fstri-
arch of the Church called the Ho^
Resurrection in Jerusalem.
Henry VIII. granted to the profcsaors
of the law, a lease, under which they
held as tenants to the Crown, ootil the
6th year of James I.; when that King
granted Hospilia ei capilatia messuagm

ON subjects of Political Economy
I totally differ from Sir Robert
Peel, who has advanced nothins in
answer to Mr. Scrope's most excellent
pamphlet, entitled, "The Currency
Question freed from Mystery.'* It
deals in undeniable facts, from which
the conclusions are irresistible. This
condemned paper money was actually
the sole source of our unexampled in-
crease of solid wealth between 1788
and 1815. That it was sometimes
abused is true; but the remedies for
that abuse were obvious, without de-
stroying it. Mr. Scrope only speaks
of It as payable in gold on demand,
which is a sufficient check on excess
of issue. But the moat infatuated

ASanycircnmstancc connected with
the life and writings of Milton
cannot fail lo be interesiing lo your-
self and your readers, I venture to sub-
mit to you ihe following conjecture.
My ;iliention has lately been called to
ihe " Comus" of Milton, where, after
The Ptrioni have been mentioned, it
is stated that " The chief persons who
presented were vht \jm4 ^K»ri»\«^ \
506
Millon a Performer m &u *' Comue"
[Dmu
Mr. Thomai E^rton, hit brother j
the Lady Alice Lgerton ;"— and there
can be no doubi but that these per-
formed the two Brothers and the Lady,
Henry Lawcs, in his dedication to
Lord Hrackiey, intimates that he him-
self represented the Attendant Spirit,
or Thyrtis j but it is not stated who
performed Comus, the piincipal cha-
racter. This is rather remarkable ;
and, on considering the matter, I think
it was no other than Milton him-
self, who was thus both author and
actor* My reasons for this conjecture
are these: — Had it been any person of
distinction, why should not his name
have been given equally with Lord
Bracklry and his brother, and Lady
Alice E^^erlon i But then, it may be
asked, " If it was Milton, why should
his name have been concealed?*' Tothis
it may be answered, that, though the
Masque was acted in the year 1()34, it
was not published till U)37ff and then
not by Milton, but by Lawes, and
without MiIton*s name to it, slating
that, "although not openly acknow-
ledged by the author, yet it is a legiti-
mate otTspring, so lovely, and so much
admired, that the often copying of it
hath tired my pen to give my several 1
friends satisfaction, .-ind brought me to
a necessity of producing it to the pub-
lickc view." Now, if Milton was
thus chary of being known as the
author, it is probable that he would
be much more so of being an avowed
actor. Milton was connected with
the Puritans ; and, with them, to write
a drama would he an oB'ence; but to
act in one would be a much greater.
A second edition of '*Comu^,*' with
some of Milton*9 other poems, and
with his name to theui, %vas published
in 1645, when, probably, it was in
vain any longer to attempt to conceal
the author. But, by this time, the
Puritans had made a very great head.
In the Preliminaries to the Treaty of
IJxbridge, in Feb. lf)44-5, the abo-
lition of the playhouses was positively
insisted upon. In Mihon*s second
edition of his poems, in 1673, the
Dedication by Lawes to Lord Brack-
ley, though he was still living, under
the title of Eorl of Bridgewatcr, was
suppressed. Mr. War ton says, "Mil-
ton was perhaps unwilling to own his
early connections with a family con-
spicuous for its unshaken loyalty, and
now highl;r patronized by King Charles
the Second.**— (See Todd*i Milton, ed.
I8O9, vol. vj. p. 178.) And Todd in-
forms us, that OD the title page of a
copy of Milton's " Defentio Populi/'
published in 1 65 1, now in the Mar*
quia of Stafford's pofsetsion, "The
amiable and learned Earl of Bridge*
water, who had performed the fiart of
the First Brother in his Camttf/* had
*' written. Liber igne, amthor JwreOf
dignissimi,** and had "disdained his
acquaintance.'* — (Todd. rol. i. p. 77f
note.)
That Milton himself soon began to
regard this juvenile performance with
a less favourable mind is probable,
from a passage in the Introduetion to
his " Reason of Chnrcb Gorernment,''
published in l64l, in which, speaking
of his literary projects, he says, perhaps
with a reference to this very work :~>
" Neither do I think it shame to co*
venant with my knowing reader that
for some few years yet I may go on
trust with him towards payment of
what I am now indebted, as being a
work not to be raised from the heat of
you I h, or the vapours of wine, like that
which flows at waste from the pen of
some vulgar amourist, or the trenches
fury of a riming parasite ; no? to be
obtained by the invocation of dame
Memory and her Syren daughters ; bat
by devout prayer to that eternal Spirit,
who can enrich with all utterance
and knowledge, and sends out hb
seraphim with the hallowed fire of his
altar, to touch and purify the lips of
whom he pleases.*'— (See Todd, vol. i.
p. 48.)
That it is not improbable that Mil-i
ton should have a piirt in the perform^
ancc, may be argued from Lawes, the
musician, having one ; and, if he was
worthy to perform with the young no*
biliiy, much more the poet, a yoana
man of great learning, and who had
had his education at the University.
He was probably, likewise, well quali-
fied for it. Plays were still performed
at the University, and Milton might
have performed in them. I have none
of them to refer to. His '* Latin
exercises," we are told, *• he recited
publicly ;" and that they are '* mark*
ed with characteristic animation."—
(Todd, vol. i. p. 9.) That he was
suited to the character in his personal
accomplishments seems sufHcientlj
evident. He was tlicii not twenty-sis

tempt of Mr. Nixon (a native of. «nd
retldtfut in Liverpool), in the construe-
tiou of an instrument of a similar de-
scription to thoftc just nientioneil, but
in »onie respects more remarkable. Mr.
Nison is represented as an enthusiast
in music ; but hit other avocations, as
a private literary tutor, have prevented
his extending; his knowledge beyond
the theoretical principles of the science.
At its earliest introduction one of
the little toys before mentioned by
chance came in his way ; and, delighted
with the sound, an improvement
thereon, upon a grand scale, instantly
suggested itself to his mind. After
I wo years' |H;r»everance, (assisted by the
best artificers, under his own imniedi-
aie direction.) he lias produced an in-
btrumeut which, in the opinions of all
who have privately heard it, bids fair
to astonish the world with its powers
of harmony.
It is desciibed to be six feet long,
four feet higlt, and two feet six inches
deep; and nus six octaves, and an odd
note, or »eventy-threea*olians. Though
very powerful, it is sweet, and clear in
its tone. I'lie ba^s notes resemble the
human voice closely ; the upper notes
are very fine. It has bellows, a wind
chest, and three swells ; one the com-
mon organ swell, the others are of Mr.
Nixon's own invention. The instru-
ment, in its present unfinished btatc,
produces a most delightful combination
of sounds, in which the hncst tones of
the trombonep horo, bassooa, hautboy;
cUrionei, and other instroments, are
so ass^iciaicd as to baffle all power of
desciiption in its harmonic cnect.
There is one grand difference be*
tween Mr. Nixon's seoIiaD^ and the
ordinary church organ ; some of the
metal pines of the bass of the latter are

THKRE is a curious coincidence
observable between a game de-
scribed in Adums's Antioiiities, p. 458,
as common among the Komans ; and
one which is at this day in universal
and familiar use among the Chinese.
Adams observes, that ** there was a
;{aii>e of chance (which is still common
ill Ilaly, chiefly however among the
vulgar, called the game of tnorra),
j»Ia)ed between two persons, by sud-
denly raising or compressing tnc fin-
gers, and at the same instant guessing
vach at the number of the other.
When doing this, they were said, •* mi-
care digitis ; * Cic. Dtoin. U, 41. Off.
3, S3.
The game called by tha Chiuesc
Tsoei^'fnoey, (says Sir T. Staunton, ia
his Notices of Cliina.) is most usually
played during enicnainmcnts at which
wine is served, the guests severally
challenging their neighbours to the
contest. Both parties raise their hand
at the same instant, and call out the
number of fingers they guess to be
jointly held up by themselves and their
adversaries; and when any one calls
the right number, his adversary drinks
off a cup of wine by way of a fine.
The fist closed indicates 0, the thumb
alone 1, the thumb and one finger 2,
and so on. As the action of the hand
and utterance of the number, when
the game is played fairly, are perfectly

[rbviiwed by a correspondent.]
THE general appearance of ihete
five volumes does not disappoint
our expectations. Bui a more careful
csamioation of the work, and such at
every classical work of importance
ougnt to undergo, will show that much
remained to be done by the editor.
And that Bekkcr*8 excellent text has
been negligently used. Wc shall not
be expected to go through all the plays,
but snail take the two or three first,
at thcj are arranged in Bekker. Ex
uno disce omnes.
Acharn. 320, C/Xo; read ^iXot,
Brunck foolishly omits I. 552, because
he could not understand what is meant
by Ta}r, (which refers to xatxoppafliT —
ntLKaXtyu), and although it is restored
by Bekker, it finds no place in the
translation. See p. 10, vol. ii. By the
bye, the leading figures referring to the
text are generally untrue ; as in this
page, which is marked [542G02], and
yet 540, "lo Lamache*' is in the
middle of the page. Then, at 1. 564,
opviOo; E^Tiy are given to Laniachus, not
in the texf, hut in the translation.
True, so it is read by R., but that is no
defence. Most probably it is the true
reading, and we have so corrected it
in our copy. In G6b, place a comma
after /Aty ; and would it not be better
at 547, to place a note of interrogation
a(\er l/uiCaXcIy, and, 845, a comma after
IxrT^a; ? By an unpardonable careless-
ness, aline has been omitted after 8Gl,
and yet there it is, in its place, in the
translation, p. 15. Equitcs, 218, for
xaxv; read xaxo;, evidently a misprint,
and yet what an unmetrical line is the
consequence. 274. Surely the printer
or compositor was an Athenian ; for
again, Atiic^, here is an error of ta^iri^
for ooTfp. We do not proceed regularly
through the play ; but an error in the
Vespse calls our attention. 678, aoi is
put for cv ' and 7 18, the first aim of
the parenthesis liefore xal should be
f upplied. 8g8, n'xix' for ivx' *. And lOOO
must surely in the MS. have had t
full stop at the end, at in the traiit«
lation, p. 87. In I4B1» itopx^ffw/uiof
should be itopx^^^H^* 1" ^99 of the lU-
noe, with the translation, alter the final
period to a comma. — These are aome
out of many we haie marked, and they
are not all that we have met with. We
naturally expect that a translation thall
be that of the text : that it is not so in
this case the merest tyro may see.
What a bald rendering of I. 515, 6^
7 ; Ach. Would not this be better I

play, Brunck reads i ovx, and of coarse
we may expect to find in the transla-
tion nee nef %vhich is the case, though
Bekker reads if »•)• The translation
and the text, 713,714, are sadly at va-
riance. Trans, p. 28, 1. 22, savium
incorrectly for suavium. There it a
slight inversion of the words, 115 Eq.
to suit another text, p. 23, uanslation.
The speech of the Chorus, 258-965^
Equ. is teriibly mauled in the transla-
tion, and the lines are inverted without
cause and without profit. Trent, p. 26,

tabo tecum, quis debeat prior Terba fa-
cere, is in the text put after — iia me

is preserved, though the text is if ri
roXii. 475, 1. 25, cujus in gratiam hoc
faciamus, should have been expunged
as worse than useless, and 1. 28, ut ait
is to be taken, we suppose, as a transla-
tioii of (Pd^Jf, 1. 510!! P. 31, 1.35,

as preserving the exact force of the ori-

to cry, •• Ohe, jam satis ! "
There is a mistake in the Scholia,
which has been, we believe, too often
passed over. Aves, 521. It was one
Sosicrates, and not Socrates, who wrote
on Cretan ofiairs, as may be seen in
Atheneus, VI.

THE scene is now shifted from Pli-
tsea to Corcyra, and we have a
graphic detail or perhaps the moit
atrocious deeds that had as jet ever
disgraced human nature Then iade>
scribed, with the strongeat pencil, the
moral effects of the war and peatilenec^
as affecting the state of society in
Greece, disorganized by a general war,
which might be called a civil one. TOs
portion partakes, in a more than nsoai
degree, of that obscurity which extods
itself in some measure over the whole
history ; but it is satisfactorily removed
by our indefatigable annotator, what
by the vast resources furnished fay a
long course of studious research, iscoa-
bled to make the whole auffictently
plain.
Now is narrated the onfortuoate
campaign of Demosthenes, the Athe-
nian general, in the invasion of JEto-
lia; and afterwards the evenu of
Western Greece, in which Demos-
thenes retrieves his diserace by a com-
plete triumph over the Anibraciots,
who had invaded Acamania. On this,
as well as the preceding portion, oor
limits will not permit us to advert to
any notes, except to adduce one aa con-
nected with the death of the poet He-
siod, so interesting that we cannot bot
lay it before oor readers.

THH following extract relatiTe to
the Greek Sapphic Ode, is taken
from Mr. Henry Nelson Coleridge**
IfUroduciion to the Siudu qf the Greek
Classic Poets, lately published :
** It may be remarked with resret
that the Greek Prize Odes of the last
few years have not been written in the
consistent dialect of the tragic chorus.
The iKolic of Sappho herself is surely
til nuhilus to us ; and, even if Bishop
Bloomfield's arrangement of it be au-
thentic, can any young man, by the
help of analogy with the forms used in
some Bfty or sixty lines, write upon va-
rious subjects in such a dialect consis-
tently ? The attempt produces a far-
rago which, in point of Greek, is dis-
graceful to the reputation of the Uni^
versity ; for what can be more lamenta-
bly absurd than to see the lowest
* bucolisms' of Theocritus thrust in as
the necessities of a Sapphic Ode re-
quire? The Greek Professor might
rery profitably publish a canon on thb
subject.'*
It cannot be considered here imper.
tinent to remark, that Mr. Cole-
ridge has a very good right to speak on
the composition of the Greek Sapphic
Ode, having himself carried on Sir
Wm. Browne's medal in the years
1821 and 182). Nor is Mr. C.'s
judgment the less to be regarded on
another account— that he was distin-
guished as an Etonian, and afterwards
as Fellow of King's.
The academical year, loo, just com-
inenced, is particularly auspicious for
some authoritative declaration as to
the style and dialect exnecied hereafter
ill the Greek Sapphic Ode. The Pro-
vost of Kind's is the new Vice-(/haQ.
eellor. Yours, }kc, I. B.

Classical Litbratubb.— Bfocmt/Se/cTt nuofdides. [Dee*
ttin a satisfactory explication of per-
haps the most obscure passage in the
author.
" It ivds agreed on, that mere ihwtd be
f;;ivm each man than three oboU, and that hy
Jive ships* pay ,• for to ffiy-fiiie ships thirty
talatts were allowed per month ; and to all
ether ships, as the number qf such should in*
Create, tixis to be giveh nay in the same pro*
^or/w>7i.— There it, pernaps, no pMsa;;e in
6ar tutlior wliich hat occasioned greater
(lifiiculty than this ; abd in whatever wny it
he considered, ure are surrounded with p<r-
Slexities. I catioot, however, enter into a
etail uf the various opinions of ttie com-
mentators and critics. It is admitted by all
that the passage is cnrrvpt, since no toiera-
hie sense has ever yet been elicited from it
without making some alteration, though the
MSS. present no variety. The most preva-
lent o|)inion since the time of Duker has
been, that the words Koti vtrrnKovra have
crept la from the margin ; and they are
placed between brackets by all the recent
editors, who, however, are not agreed on
the sense, Haack and Goeller make it as
follows I ' Nevertlieless, to five shi|>3, more
were agreed on than five ol>ols a man ; for
to five ships were given three talrnu a
month, and to the rest,' &c. ; which would
be three obols and three-fifths a day. But
It must be confessed that there is something
exceedingly awkward in this sense. Why the
pay should be reckoned at a certain sum Jbr
each five shipt, it is difficult to see. Besides,
to make the words x«l toT^ aXXoic ocv
»XiiOUj »*ief ^crxf tov'tou toii a^i^fMW,
denote the other fjiy ships, involves ex-
treme harshness ; and Duker's notion con-
cerning the ^rst five is abiturd. There is
also great objection to taking v%^» for if,
since the signification is very unusual ; nor
can it thus peem otherwise than strange that
the author should have used vxpct and i$
so close together. Finally, to cancel two
words, without any authority, is too bold,
and not to be toleratCfl unless it could re-
move all difficulty t which we see is far from
being the case. Under these circumstances,
I have thought it proper to retain the signifi-
cation commonly assigned to Trapa. Though,
as the passage is undoubtedly corrupt, I
have adopted the very mild conjecture of
MeilKimiusy for r^ist, Tpiaxoyra (i. e. for
y, X) ) tl'.ough not his interpretation, I am
not aware that the sense I have assigned is
liable to any well founded objection. It pro-
ceeds, indeed, upog the supj>osition that
two hundred was the regular number of the
crew of a trireme ; but so does the interpre-
tation of Haack and Goeller. And though
that has been denied by Duker, yet the point
haa been made out by Meibomius ; and all
she recent editors admit it. To the passages
Mdduced by Meibomius in pruu{> ma>| \)«
added the followiag. Platareh L}'aaad. 90^
Thncyd. 6, 8, where the Egestiaas are said
to have sent sixty talents for a mooth*s pay,
(namely, a drachma per diensy aa w« find
from 6, 8 1 ) for sixty shipe ; smd L. 4, S,
(where Demosthenes is aaid to havt beta
left at Pylus with five ahipa) compered aidi
Themist. 138, A., who, ttiough Thucydldfli
has there omitted to give the number af
men, estimates them at one thfraaand; i. s.
two hundred a ship. Demoath. Phil. 1, wko
reckons the half of a ship's pav at twenty
mi use each ship for a month j which makes
two hundred a ship. Triremea then mostly
carried 200 men ; as a Mytilensean trireme
mentioned by HenKk>. 3, IS, and universaUr
the Persian triremes, 7« 184, 7 i ^i ami
dinx9(r/ou; avd^xc Xoyi^opevotcr* Ir ixiar^
fn'i — iTTifixTSvat ^i— Tp»*;'xorTa afiftu
Seealsi?, 185, IS, and 186, 5, 8, 17,7.
It may, indeed, seem strange that the cooa-
putation shohld be by ships* paj ; but the
reason why that method waa used aeenu to
have been that, as the pay of a ship cameta
exactly half a talent per month, ao, from
the even sum, it was more convenient to
reckon by ship's pay. For the same reason,
we find, in all the Greek hiaturians, tnan
frequent mention made of moHth*s pay (as
here) than day's pay. Thus it appears that
all that Tissaphernes did was to nsake the
payment (which otherwise would have beca
97 talents and a half,) et^en maneyt bjf
which the pay would be three oboU aad
about three elevenths a day."
No further specimens can be neces-
sary;- and we have only to advert lo
one or two important appendages lo the
work, in a most instructive memoir on
the stale of Greece, civil and military,
at the beginning of the Pelofjonnesian
war; translated, with compression and
modification, fn>m Professor Pop))o:
and two tables of the Athenian ami
Lacedicmonian confederacies, which
should be kept by the student conti-
nually under view. The work is also
accompanied by an excellent plan of
Syracuse, from Professor Goeller, and
five lart^c and beautifully executed
maps oi* Greece, adapted, indeed, to
the age of Thucydides and Herodotus,
hut so constructed as to be serriceahle
even for the later periods of Greciaa
History.
Here we must close our report of a
work which happily fills up no incon-
siderable space in the literature of our
country, and which we can pronounce
to be ouiie indispensable to all who
would nope to understand the text of
the greatest of historians, but most ob-

oor travellers maintain the oriental de-

In p. 194, it is reasonably suggested
that the confusion in the Egyptian Chro-
nology may have originated throueh
Jilacing in succession the distinct dy-
nasties of the several contemporary
Kings who reigned over the seven dis-
tricu of Egypt, and
« It would appear that the DioepoKtao
iMioarchs, by wnom most of the noble
etmetures of Thebes were bailt, at the time
or soon after the Israelites sojoamed in
l^Tpi, were a distinct moe from the Pharaohs
afSoriptare."— i. 194.
Aa to the tombs. of the Kings, it is
presumed that Ezekiel (chap. viii. v.
7- IS) has described them, and the ce-
remonies there practised. Among the
furniture depicted on the walls, it a
low old - fasnioncd European-looking
chair, such as is still seen in our
nurseries.
We must not wonder that tombs
were inhabited, for they are most
agreeable retreats in a sultry climate ;
and in a magnificent cemetery, walled
in, around the stems of sycamores and
tamarinds, were placed jars of water
for the benefit of travellers (i. S37),
water being the luxury as well as the
necessary of life in Arabia, and other
eastern countries, whence the conten-
tions about wells, mentioned in the
Pentateuch.
<* The Scape-goat of the Mosaic Law is

that the plague would take refuge in the

they should extirpate the disorder." — i. 891 .
Not only are we indebted, says our
authoress (i. 323), to Arabia for our
€rothic architecture, but for our carved
atalls, rood-lofts, shrines, and old door-
ways.

The Naas serpent, or Cobra tU Cb-
pelio, is still worshipped in India, at
the evil spirit j . and the origin of the
name Satan, and the snake-like form,
are thus explained :
'* Whenever an eclipse of the moon takes
place, the natives imagine that the devil,
or a great snake or dragon, has laid hold of
it, and they make a tremendous noise in
order to alarm him, shouting ' Sheitaa,
chaun chordo," — Satan, let the moon go !
This superstitious Idea is said to originate
from the oriental astronomers having as-
signed the figure of a serpent to the circniar
enrve described by the moon's orbit, as
likewise to the sun's path through the
Zodiac. The points where the moon eroeses
the ecliptic, or her ascending and desoeod*
ing nodes, are termed the dragon's head,
and the dragon's tail, whence probably amee
this extravagant fitble." — ii. 19, 913.
The Mussulman eats meat; the

« That England has riaen above almoat

Eiss of its afiric'ulture, ia ioconuttible ;
1 1 have not here to enquire what are the
different cautea tliat under the omoipoteut
awis of liberty have produced this result;
nSther la it incumbent on me to prove that
it is in no degree owing to entails, or the law
of primogeniture. In fact, if we reflect
tlM in luly, Spain, and wherever else the
ayttcm of irresponsible freehold succeaaion
has been introduced, it has occasioned the
deterioration of land, and the impoverish-
mtnt even of them for whose benefit it was
invented, we al&all be convinced that the
agricultural prosperity of England must be
■scribed to other causes." — p. 7S.
In reply to our objections to the
gsrelkind plan of the Baron, viz. that
a small portion ofground divided among
several children, must ultimately be
reduced to nothing, — he says,
' "No; for if one of them be not rich
enough to purchase the shares of his bro-
thers, the ground is sold, and passes into
the hands of some person who can keep it
•atlre and improve it.'* — p. 5S.
The true way of estimating the con-
sequences of (he two systems, is, in
our opinion, this. Does not the pri-
mogeniture plan, by favouring larger
and more speedy accumulations of
wealth and capital, give employment
and comfort, through trade, manufac-
tures, and luxury, to greater numbers
than the gavelkind one? We think
that it does, and that the respective
increase or decrease of population, es-
timated according to the quantum of
territory in England and France, will
determme the question. Certain, how^
erer, it is, that a judicious and easy
system of emigration ought ever to ac-
company the extension of large farms
and machinery.
In some parts of England common
lands for miles have been surrepti-
tiously inclosed, and split into small
portions. Tiie result has been, that,
whatever may be the produce of the
soil, it has only acted in abatement, so
far as it has gone, of the expense of
living; but it has kept condition sta-
tionary. No great towns like Man-
chester, Liverpool, or Birmingham,
could grow out of such germs.
It is utterly impossible for a foreigner
to think as we do intuitively upon cer-
f,iin, to OS obvious points. He cannot
estimate English circumstances hj
Englbh ideas; and if his preonises
cannot be sound, his conclusions must
have the same character. The Baron,
though an excellent philosopher and
writer, gives to abstract ideas an in*
fluence which they by no means pos-
sess. Habit, the hahit of his country,
is the momentum which actuates every
Englishman. If he could go to a so-
fireme earthly paradise, in any foreign
and, and make a fortnnethere, he would
be miserable if he had no iKipe of coming
back to England, and there enjowing
it. America is no exception, because
English habits prevail there. In short,
it is habit which forms the love of
country, and despotises over reason
and the plainest common sense. At
the same time, the Baron suggests
things which, if attended to, tend
much to the improvement of our opi-
nions upon civil and political topics.
Neither reason nor selfish prudence
can vindicate Napoleon. .Great he
certainly was ; but greatness is an aiTair
of wonoer, which acts like drunken-
ness, and destroys reason. Neverth»>
less insanire luvet is a favourite adage
of many, and therefore we inform them
that in pp. xxxi— xxxviii. is a long
dialogue between the Emperor and the
Baron, who sought the recall of his
mother from exile. It is too long for
us to extract; but we shall mention
some things. He would not have per-
sons who did not like him in any place
which he inhabited. Madame de
Stael would see a crowd of people,-^
she would not refrain from pleasan-
tries,— she thought them of no im-
portance, but he thought a great deal
of them, — he took every thing in ear-
nest,— her speeches would be conti-
nually repeated to him,—- subordina-
tion was necessary, and authority must
he respected because it comes from
God, — she would spoil all the people
around him, — and let her go to Lon-
don if she wishes to make Heels,
We have hitherto gone on in perfect
good humour with the Haron. We
cannot, however, part without an ex-
ception. Our autnor has, in a gen-
tlemanly manner indeed, indulged in a
reprobation of the extinct Constitutional
Society. VVe assure him that the mem-
bers and patrons of that Society were
men of loyal and patriotic principles,

you Meggy FltnagaUf — ^you can t sit asy in

youy that havegot a comfortable home, and
your husbaud leddy one of the best cobblers
in the country?" Ho now deepened hia
▼oice, and threw into his manner a very im-
pressive solemnity. ' * Remember what I have
said, my children ! Poor Judy Br)-ant has
lost her blanket. I have the big thafo be-
fore me that stowl it, and if it is not re-
turned to her before tomorrow morning, I'll

him ; and I *11 have nothing more to do
with him in this world or the next."
The late Earl of Bristol (Bishop of
Derry) was in the habit of taking a
baih. He had given orders to his
valet, an Irish giant, to call him in the
morning, for that purpose. One day,
his Loraship being very sleepy, could
not be induced to rise, but feeling
himself at breakfast unwell, and at-
tributing it to his non-compliance with
his usual custom,
« * Teddy,' said he, < you know what benefit
I have derived from bathing; and you know
very well, that when a man is inclined to
sleep, he'll sacrifice any thing to enjoy his
bed. Another morning, when you nnd me
unwilling to rise, take me up in your arms—
you are strong enough— and carry me to
the bath!'— < Very weU, Sir (said Teddy),
ril remember.'
" Tlie following momtog it rained again,
and Teddy, true to his duty, came into the
Earl's chamber, and awoke him to take the
hath ; but his master was as little ioclioed
to rise on this occasion as before, and more-
over felt displeased at being so hastily sum-
moned from a beautiful pantomime tliat
was performing in the playhouse of his
brain. But Teddy was not to be put off or
got rid of, and insisted on his getting op.
* I tell you I shall not rise this morning. Sir,'
(said the Earl.) * But you must rise.* * Must !
Get out of the room, vou rascal !' — * Bvthe
powers ! I'll do uo such thing.' — ' Am 1 not
your master ?'— < Dont I know it is for your
iiealth?* — * I command you, Sir!* — *Yes, but
plase your Grace, you are eitlier not awake
now, or you're not sinsible of what you're
saying ; and if I let you slape now, don't I
know very well that at break&st you'll be
scowldiug me again, as you did yesterday ?
So come along, my Lord, 'tis no use your
kicking and iMiwling ; you roust come and
bathe yourself.' Sa^fiog which he quietly
took the Earl up in bis arms, as he would a
lapdog, aud carrying him to the tub, plump-
er/ him in it*
**Tbe latter knowing it was no use Vo
struggle in sooh a situation, when fim
was over, called for soap mad towe1«
«At breakfast the Earl waa rather
gloomy, and could not acquaint his ftmilj
with the cause, till Teddy came in, who
nodding his head and rubmng his buids ni
great glee, approached him and said, ' Wdly
my Lord, I managed to wake yon this morn-
ing !' ' At these words,' said lie to me, * my
features relaxed, and I could not deoj the
poor fellow the approbation he expected^* **

Eight Letters from Baih. By the FS4get Fh-
mily. •' Stare toco netcit," 1 830.
THIS is an imitation of the admi-
rable humour of Anstey, by a well-
educated man, who has also a strong
perception of the humorous, but whose
misfortune is, that when he is writing
verse, he cannot avoid roakinz it prose.
Had he imitated the prose of the Bath
Characters, instead of the poetry of the
Bath Guide, he would have succeeded
better. The fiflb Letter possesses the
most point, and is a curious represent-
ation of those wholesale exterior exhi«
lions of superior piety, like the an-
cient agapae or lo%'e-feasts, which are
of daily occurrence among the fashion-
able part of those who assume the soi-
disant appellation of the *' religious
public ;" and which, as a contempo-
rary observes, according to one of the
best and wisest men that ever livedo
are calculated to bring real religion
into contempt and profanation. vVe
know the particulars contained in this
fifth Letter to be mailers of fad upon
the best aulhority^ and shall therefore
give them for the consideration of all
sensible and rational people in plain
prose.
The author received an invitation to
T. and B. in the Crescent, Bath.
What the B. meant no one could con-
ceive, but supposed it something tak-
ing its name from Poperv, whilst
others thought that it could signify
nothing after all, but a dance or a
route ; — at all events, it was a riddle.
On arriving at Lady — he found no
rooms laid out for music and dancing,
but a table, upon which were spread a
Bible, tracts, hymns, and books of
prayer. Not a smile was to be seen, —
the whole company sat "serious and
glum." No one was speaking, except

[Sec.
jrcture is hazarded, that they were of
the same »tock as the Beaufties whd
are mentioned by Camden and Dug-
dale, as seated at Guy's Cliff in War-
wickshire. We think this an improba-
ble idea, as we recollect many instances
af proper names with an adjective be-
ing melted into one word, and scarctiy
any of the adjunct being entirely re-
jected. De Foe, however, needed not
the lineal parade of heraldry to increase
his estimation in the public eye.
. His grandfather, Daniel Foe, a sub-
stantial yeoman, who farmed his own
land at Elton in Northamptonshire, is
the earliest member of his parent stock
that can be traced. The prefix De
before the name was adopted by his
grandson, perhaps on the authority of
some old family recollection. Daniel
Foe must have been a man of some
opulence, for he kept a pack of hounds,
which his huntsman named after the
leading royalist and parliamentary ge-
nerals of the day. This amusing fact is
thus related by De Foe himself; who,
apeaking of the custom of giving the
names of men to dumb animals, says,
" I remember my grmmlfather had % hunts -
iiMin that used the fame familiarity with his
dogs ; as ho had hit Roundhead and hi« Ca-
-▼alter, hit Goring and his Waller, and all
the Generals of both armies were hounds
of his pack; till the times turning, tl\« old
gentleman wht fiiin to scatter the pack, and
jnake them up of more doglike surnames/*
In the account of De Foe's birth,
the author follows Mr. Chalmers, who
discovered, from the Records in the
Chamberlain's OlFice of the city of
London,* that De Foe was a native of
the parish of Su Giles, Cripplegate ;
this event must have occurred about
the year l66], as he says in his preface
to ** the Protestant Monastery," printed
in 1727, he was then in his 67th year.
His parents being dissenters, no record
can be found of his baptism. This rite
Mr. Wilson supposes was perfornud
for him by the Rev. Samuel Annesley,
a distinguished Presbyterian divine,
who was ejected from the living of
Cripplegate,'t- and afterwards officiated
* These Records have been since de-
stroyed by fire. — See an article *'on some

f The oaose of Dr. Anoetley does not
MppeMr ID the list of Vicara of St. OiWt,
CrippJegMte. Dr. A. was au em'ment dissetit'
at a meeting-hoQie in Little St« Htleii\
Bishopsgate-street. Earlv predilections
thus acquired, rendered De Foe the
champion, on all occasions, of the Po-
ritan or Dissenting faction, in the Pro-
testant community, and hia principlct
in many instances assume a decided
party character, levelled against the n-
tablished reformed Church, which rose
so gloriously on the wreck of those su-
perstitions that had so long obscured
the light of the Gospel, and held man-
kind at once in spiritual and political
bondage. On this head, although we
give full credence to Mr. Wilson for
the sincerity of his assertion in the pre^
face, that he highly respects the mild
and tolerant members of the clergy,
and directs his'remarks against persecu-
tors only, we cannot but obserre that
he scents to adopt and sanction the pre-
judices of De Foe, rather than to cofw
rect their occasional virulence. The
opponents of the Church should re-
member that neither Religion nor
States can exist without a certain de-
gree of secular polity. The founder of
Christianity himself, tineht as "one
having authority," and having institoied
certain simple ordinances, ai exiemd
badges of communion, he delegated
that authority to his church with the
promise of assistance in all future time.
The Church of England, throwing *
aside the dark veil that had clouded re-
velation in the middle ages, remodelled
herself on the practice of the apostolic
times, preserved in her offices all that
was decent and devotional ly sublime in
the rituals of the ancient church, re-
taining, in matters of faith, nothing
but what is "of certain warrant of
Scripture." In proportion, therefore,
with the union in which the secular
polity can by all reasonable and chari-
table means be knit with such a
church, do we conceive our nrosperiiTt
under Providence, as a people^ will m
a great measure depend. It would be
well indeed if all Christians would
suffer themselves to be brought to a
§reater degree of visible unity by consi-
erations similar to those expressed by
ing divine ; " a man of wonderful piety and
humanity,'* says Donton, who was his soa-
in-Iaw ; as was also Samuel Wesley, Aither
of John and Charles Wesley, the celebiated
founders of the Methodists ; who thus were
Br. Annesley's grandchildren. See Nichols's

bark something of the freedom of the

were sanclioned bv the example of the
Court, and which had been imbibed by
the Kinz during his exile in a fureign

the notice of De Foe.

The fact of the intemperance occa-
sioned by these meetings might be true,
but the chorgiiiE it on the exultation
of the reformed Church, at her libera-
tion from the yoke of a perseculing hy-
pocrisy, is made in the true spirit of
sectarian seirerily. An illuslr«tive anec-
ilnie of the joy dlHused by the Ue-
volulion of 16BS, is also accompanied
by a harsh strain of ceniurc on a mat-
ter which it WM hardly necessary to
lake in lliliterjl cniislruclion. "Jack,"
said a gentleman of very high quality,
when, afier the debate in the Houie of
Lords, King William was voted into
the vacant throne, " Jack, go home to

Kole.tant King and Queen ; and go

Of Milton, tne foUuwins anecdote
is related on ihc authority of Cunning-
ham : — Finding himself excluded from
the act of indemnity, he feigned him-
self to be dead, and gave oraers for a
mock funeral procession. Charles,
who loved a jest, heating of this sin-
gular exf)edient for self-preservation,
•aid he had done very wisely to avoid
death by a seasonable show of dying.
De Foe's liurary career, begun as a
Klitical writer, was opened, it is said,
a tract in answer to L'£sirange*s
<7uide to the Inferior Clergy, and called
Speculum Crape Gownorum,^ London ,
l682. In this he charges the clergy
with the most servile adherence to '* the
powers that be."— p. 87.
On the Duke of Monmouth's laiul-
ing in Dorseuhire, in June, l685,
with a handful of mtrn, to put hiui!»elf
at the liead of his priy, De Foe joined
his sundard, he being then 24 years of
age. After the Duke's defeat on Sedg-
moor, he had the good foriune to es-
ca|>e to Loudon, where he remained
secure from the bloody veiigtrance of
the law, as exercised by Jcflcries. Mr.
Wilson has entered with some minute-
ness into the character of the Duke of
Monmouth, and the particulars of his
abortive expedition (p. 105 to 111).
The biographer takes occa&ion lu relate
an anecdote of one of his own relatives
concerned in Monmouth's ex|>cilitionf
who resided at Coaxdeu Hall, bciween
Chard and Ax minster. He took refuge
after the defeat, at the Green Dragou,
the principal inn in the last mentioned
town ; where, being pursued by the
soldiers, the daughter of the landlord, a
fine spirited clear-headed girl, perceiv-
ing his dilemma, took him up stairs,
and will) great promptitude as well as
presence of mind, concealed him be-
tween the reather-l>ed and the sacking
of the bed>iead. The soldiers entered,
searched the closets, looked under the
bedstead, and so departed.— The pa-
rents of this very person had given refuge
to Prince Charles at Coaxden Hall, af-
ter the battle of Worcester. The sol-
diers visited the house, and Mrs. Cogan
concealed Prince Charles under her
hoop; keeping herseat unconcernedly,
while the troopers, accompanied by her

well authenticated, and that the Prioee,
on reaching the Continent, sent Mn.

(wuh his hair, wesuppose), having the
royal arms at the back, which was sold
in course of time to a Jew at Exeter,
but long remembered in the family.

His taste was of the first tank. We
are however prejudiced critics, Wc
h.ive no more notion of an Ode (out
of caricature) not essentially sublime,
than we have of a chjpier of the Bible
without Religion. But in out opinion,
there is not in the ancients so professed
a study of the sublime, as among the

fine adjunct of the C|>ic3ud tragic, but

We repeat, that in our Bosotian feel«
ings, we have no ideas of such a thing
at a sublime Ode existing among the
ancieoit. We have never beep excited
by Pindar; because, we think, that
the iropreuion made by these Odes
was .derived from the music and po«
pular feeling. But with regard to the
epistles and satires of Horace, weagret
with Dr. Nuttall, that he there
** givet us the noUeat pfecepta of morality.
Indeed, there is not anv thing among the
ancients better calculated to form the heart,
and improve the understanding, than his
writings. "—p. 50.
This is unquestionablv true, because
DO man can be qualified for a teacher
of morals who does not know the
world, no more than a medical man
who has never walked the hospitals,
can possibly be fit for a lecturer.
The next Essay relates to Latin ver-
sification, and with many standard
work before us, and an enthusiastic ad-
miration of the Carmina Quadragesi-
malia, Muss Etonenses, Holdsworih*8
Muscipula, and Vincent Bourne's ex*
quisite paraphrases, we have never seen
any chemist before Dr. Nuttall, who
could decompose Latin poetry, and
enumerate its ingredients. Ail that
has ever been taught upon the subject
has been limited to prosody, although
few men were ever capable of reading
Latin verse without making longs
shorts, and vice versd. Now if we
undersund Dr. Nuttall rightly. Prosody
was only Uie time>table in a musical
acceptation, which did not interfere
with the accentuation. Dr. Nuttall
informs us, p. 62, that
*<all those short syllables which are vi-
ciously pronounced long, as 2wms, cfomtnt5,
are the very syllables on which the accent
fiills, accordiuff to the Ronum method given
by Quintilian. '
Now we feel particularly rejoiced at
being able to refer to Mr. DodwelPs
Greece, in confirmation of Dr. Nutt-
alPs felicitous illustrations. That pre-
eminent traveller says, that H, which
prosodjT makes a long syllable, is only
an aspirate. He says, that the H is
the aspirate, which is rarely expressed
in Palaeography, and which is placed
before the word 0P02, because it

Thus it plainly appcara, thai alihougli
prosody measures the feet of a vena, it
It utterly distinct from the enoDciation
of the words. The rationale of tbit
distinction it thus given by Dr. Nou
Ull:
«< QutmtUv dtBotes the ltiM(th of syl-
lables, and the rhythmas of a versa, aa tiise
in music is represented by long usd ahoft
notes, and a eertain number m ban Co a
part ; but aeemt (from acctxao, to sang to)
indicates the elevation or daprtssion of the
voice on particular syllables or words, wtthr
out the least regard to time { as the notes
of a musical sode may be high or low,
without interfeiiog witn the tune of the
piece. Quantity, in Latin versification, can-
not be violated without destroying the
rhythmus ; but accent may be dispensed
with, and the poetic time still remain, so
different is it from the commcm English ae«
cent which governs onr poetry ."^-p. ft7.*
Dr. Nuttall then enters into deutb,
which confirm his position, and ex-
hibit the operation of accent. For
these we have not room, nor for other
excellent things. We can therefore
only add, that from few editors of
Classical works have we derived to
ample a portion of useful and lumioont
information ; and we are sure, that
every reader of such works, who ahalt
not peruse Dr. NuttalTs Eiaays aboire
alluded to, will remain in utter \gr
norance of the very A, B, C, of the
subject which he studies.

In the title-page vignette wc observe
that the visual organs of one of the
figures are drawn out of the right line;
and odd eyes veiy much detract from
female beauty ! In the ' Ass and the
Reliques,' an animal which is prover-
bially dull and heavy appears to pos-
sess all the briskness of the deer— but
this may be according to the notions
of a sprightly Frenchman. The mu-
leteer in the same plate, perhaps from
the hurry of the occasion, is left minus
his legs!
The contributions are of n light and
varied character, and well suited to
this species of literature, for which
our Gallic neighbours are so highly
distinguished. But why the descrip-
tion of ' Le Chateau de Moiitesquiea*
should accompany the view of Barnard
Custle, in the county of Durham, is a
mystery ; as there is no allusion to the
subject of the engraving. Amongst
the contributors, wc observe the names
of Chntranbriand, De Reranger the
noet,'Delavigne, Latouche, Dt-schamps,
Hugo, Valmor, Fontanev, Janin, De
Vigny, Dumas, &c. The opening
poem of the volume is addressed to
the present Queen of France, by Fon-
taney; and there is another very loyal
eflusion from the pen of Naudet ad-
dressed to King Phillipc, entitled 'Hom-
mage k I'Elu du Peuple ;" which thu
concludes:

—His Royal Highness the President then
announced that it was his intention to invite
the Foreign Ministers to tlie Society's
meeting-room : and, in order that they, as
well as any distinguished foreigners who
might accompany thrm, should be properly
ncoommodated, his Royal Highness sug-
gested that the bench next the Foreign
Secretary should be appropriated to their
use. By such friendly intercourse he had
BO doubt that the great objecu for which
the Royal Society was instituted, would be
materially advanced.

LiNNCAN SOCIETV.
Dec, 9. At the First Meeting for the
season, Aylmer Burke Lambert, esq. V. P.
in the chair, a paper was read on the plant
which yields the Gum Ammoniacum, by Mr.
David Don, the Society's Libiarian. It is
remarkable that this plant, and its locality,
should have remained so long unknown.
Dioacorides and Pliny considered it as a
apecies of agasyllis, and believed it to be a
native of Libya. Li«ut.-Col* Wright, R.£.
on his way home from India, overland, ob-
tained both plants and seed in the north of
Persia. Mr. Don suggests, that for Am-
moniacum, or Armoniacum, as it is some-
times written, we should read Armeniacum,
since the plant is now proved to exist in
Armenia, and as its characters are new, this
scientific botanist proposes the generic term
dorema. The gum ammoniacum of com-
merce is obtained by our merchants in the
Levant and India. Sir Stephen Glynne,
Bart., of Hawarden Castlr, Flintshire, and
the Rev. T. G. CuUum, M.A., of Bury St.
Edmund's, were elected.
Dec. 93. R. Brown, esq. in the chair. A
paper by Mr. Hogg, on the Classical Plants
of Sicily. The Secretrary announced, that
his Majesty had graciously signified his in-
tention of becoming the patron of the So-
ciety. In pursuxmoe, a deputation, cunsiit-

Among tlie dooatitms announced at the

Archives of France.
At this time, wlien a new Commission h
expected to be established, in order the more
effectually to investigate aud publbh the
various public Records dispersed in the re-
positories of the Metropolis, it may not be
unarousiug or unprofitable to ascertain in
what manner our neighbours the French
manage these matters at Paris. Lady Mor-
gan, in her late work on France, has pub-
lished some interesting notices relative to
the public records in Paris, under the head
of ** Archives of France," which is cer-
tainly the best, and perhaps the only valno*
ble portion of the volume. The following

back to the Csssars ; it was the residence of
the first, and of some of the third race of
kings, by one of whom it was rebuilt ; and
tradition attributes to Saint Louis many of
the vast and dreary <' salles " through which
we passed. The Chamber of Cassation, I
believe, still bears his name. The Palais de
Justice was a royal residence till 1481,
when Charles the Seventh abandoned it to
the Parliament. Time and fire have done
their usual work with this vast and ancient
edifice; and both have occasioned repairs
and improvements, which render it a monu-
ment of the progress of srchitccture, from
the earliest to the Utest times."

Dec, IS. The Rt. Hon. Wilmot Horton
commenced a course of lectures on Staiistiei
and Political Eemtomy to a crowded lectnre-
room, containing about 1000 persons. Se-
veral members of Parliament and larristen
were present. The subject was, tha ganenl
theory of labour, and the impoaaibdity off
permanently establishing a minimum of
wages. The lecturer stated, that the prin-.
cipTes of the subject of his lecture were con-
tained in the first three propositions, drawn
up by a class of twenty of the members of
the institution, who hail with him pursued
the inquiry with much assiduity. He then
read the propositions in question, which we
subjoin '.—'
** 1. That commodities in excess, as eoB-
pared with the demand for them, an invn>
riably depreciated in value, if they art
brought into the market for sale ; and that
labour^ when brought into the market, an
fitr partakes of the uoture of comraodite,
that it is ineviubly depreciated in valnt
whenever it is in excess as compared with
the demand.
<* 8. That there is an excess of the supply
of labour, as compared with the demand fat
it, amongst many of the operative and la-
bouring class in the United Kingdom ; and
that pauperism, degradation, and suffering,
are the consequences of that state of things.
<* S. That, to remedy such evils, either
more labour must be demanded, or less labour
supplied ; and that, unless one or other of
these conditions can be satisfied, the evil it
without remedy."
Mr. Horton explained the difference be-
tween labour and other coounoditiesy to
consist in the fiust of labour not falling ot

Royal Society of Litiraturb.
Nov, 1 7. An important antiquarian resto-
ration was presented by Isaac Cullimorey
Esq. ; being a delineation of the lost frag-
ment of the celebrated chronological tablet
of Abvdos, — the great regulator of (and,
with the Rosetta inscription, the key to)
the hierc^lyphic liistory and discoveries.
The drawing was accommodated to the copy
el the tablet published in the Society's fas-
eiculi of Hieroglyphics. By this restora-
tion, which Mr. Collimore has drawn ex-
cinsively from British discoveries, the au-
thentic monumental records of Eg}pt are
raided considerably higher than the point of
tiuM to which they have hitherto been sup-
posed to ascend ; in consequence of which»
several of the ancient Pharaohs, and various
inscriptions, which have been heretofore
without a place in history, may now be re-
ferred to their proper ages; and the con-
nection between the hieroglyphic records and
the annals of inspiration may be drawn still
oloser.
A fiortion was likewise read of Professor
Lee's learned ** Observations on the origin
of Heathenism.*' In this part of his able
dissertation, the professor shows that the
religious system of the ancient Persians was
substantial ly the same as that held by the
Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Greeks, and to a
great extent identical with that now taught
by the followers of Buddh and Brahma : —
the foundation of them all being the system
of emanations, derived from the principles
of revelation, corrupted by tradition and by
the inventions of a fanciful philosophy.
Royal Asiatic Society.
At the first meeting of the season, Sir A.
Johnstone, V. P. in the chair, was read
** A Oimparison of the Hindo and Theban
Hercules, * by Colonel Tod. Amongst the
donations was a copy of Lord Viscount
Kingsborough*s magnificent work on the
Antiquities of Mexico, in seven large folio
volumes ; of which four comprise the plates,
whwh are mostly coloured, and three con-
iMi'o the Spani$h, lulian, and French texts,
with English trantlationt. This work,
by M. Aglio, embraces all the coHeetrane
of Mexican hieroglyphics to be found ia
the public libraries of Europe. Nine yetni
have been occupied in the preparation of
the work, and not less tlum 80,0002. has
been expended upon it by Lord Kings^
borough.
Science op the Ancient Etrurians.
(From Cuvier*9 Lectures on the History qf
the Naturai Scunees,}
The origin of the Etrurians it rerj mn*
certain. Some persons think that (bey
came from Lydia; others, that they de-
scended from the Tyrrhenian mountatna*
but that they had held communication witk
the Greeks since their establishment. How^
ever this may be, it is of interest to the
question that they established themselves at
the epoch of the great Egyptian miffra-
tion. The Etrurians at first extended as
far as the Alps; but, being attacked by the
Gauls, they were forced to withdraw to-
wards Tuscany ; they fell back to the Tiber,
and from that time, being in the immediate
vicinity of the Romans, they were almost
constantly at war with this people, until
they were conquered, about 289 years be-
fore Christ, a little after the death of Alex-
ander.
In examining the monuments of the Etru-
rians, and what we know of their arts and
sciences, we find an extraordinary relation
between them, and the Indians and £^yp*
tians. They all formed cau&ls in the alluvia
of the great rivers ; they all had monuments
of a pyramidal form, like the tomb of Por-
senna. We see from the ruins of the wall
at Volterra that they were far advanced in
the art of building, and it even appears that
the famous cloacae of Rome were their
work. The Egyptians were unacquainted
with the vault, so that this was an undoubt-
ed advance which the Etrurians made in
architecture.
The Etrurians had a mythological system
which greatly resembled that of the Indians
and the Egyptians. They were also go-
verned by a caste which seems to have been
both sacerdotal and msrtial. It is at least
certain that these noble Etrurians were the
possessors of superstitious secrets which
they transmitted to the Romans. From
them the Romans received the auguries.
Their letters were derived, like our own,
from the Phoenician alphal>et ; but it seems
that they had not received the Greek, from
their preserving the oriental manner of
writiug ; that is, from right to left, and
suppressing the short vowels, since replaced
by points. They had, therefore, to a cer-
tainty, communication with the people
of India; but their most beautiful works
are posterior to their intercourse with the
Greeks : for all their designs represent the

HISTORICAL CHRONICLE.
PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.
Houss or LoRDi Nov, 89.
The Right Hou. Henry Brougham (his
pftteot M a Peer Dcit being yet made out)
took hit teat, m Lord Chancellor, on the
wooImcIc £arl Grey, the Marqueis of
Lajudowfie, Lord Durham^ and Lord Gode-
rich, took their places oo the Miuisterial
beoches ; while the Duke of JFellhigton, the
Earl of Roulyn, and the £mrl of EUenbo-
rough, occupied those usually filled by the
Opposition.
On the Marquis of Lansdowne presenting
two petitions in favour of Parliamentary
Reform, Earl Grey, as the head of the
Bcw Ministry, took the opportunity of en-
terinff into an explanation of the principles
on which he had agreed to accept the high
honour which had been conferred u|>on him.
With regard to Parliamenury Reform, he
considered it essential that Government
should take the subject into consideration,
with a view to correct what was imperfect,
and to re-establish the confidence of the
public* which Parliament, in iu present
constitution, did not enjoy to a sufficient ex-
tent. He was in favour of that reform which
was founded on true principles, and in ac-
cordance with the settled institutions of the
country. Speaking of the present troubled
state of the provinces, the Ndbie Earl said,
thst Government was actuated by the most
determined resolution, wherever outrage had
broken out, to repress it with vigour, and
where the occasiou required, with severity ;
while at the same time they were anxious to
remove the causes of the distresses of the
country. With regard to t&xstion, the Noble
Earl observed, that he could only say, that
every reduction of unnecessary expenditure
should be effected, and that all ivbich was
not essential should be cut off with an un-
sparing hand. As to the relations of the
vouutry with foreign powers, his first object,
his iutcrest, and his duty, would be to
maintain those relations by every means
consistent with the honour of the country
and the preservation of peace. With re-
6])ect to those differences that had taken
place in other countries, the true policy of
this kingdom, as long as it could be honour-
ably act..'cl on, was non-interfereuce. To sum
up the grounds on which he appeared before
their Lordships, and the principles on which
the new Administration was formed, he
would say that they consisted of an aroeliu-
ratiun of existing abuses, a system of rigid
economy, and every possible endeavour to
preservepcBce, consistently with the honour
of the countty.
Nov. 98, — ^The Duke of GUmeeUer ,
and informed their Lordships, that he was
authorised to acquaint them that his Ma-
jesty had been pleased to elevat« Hcnrf
Drougham, Esq. to the dignity of a Peer.
Mr. Brougham, on hearing this intiDiatioa»
quiued the woolsack, and left tha Hoasa lor
a short time. On his return, he was intro-
duced to the House as Lord Brougkatm^ bf
the Marquess fVeUedey and Lord Dwkam,
Nov, 96. — Earl Grosvenor, in presentiog
a number of petitions, some praying for par-
liamentary reform, and others for the aboli-
tiun of negro slavery, said, that aa his aoUa
and learned friend, who had so long liata
the ornament of the House of ConaaMOSv
had at length reached the woolsack, be was
anxious to give him an opportunity for de-
claring his opinions upon those two qses-
ttons, and for setting right some misrepre-
senutions which had taken pUce elsewbcie.
—The Lord Chancellor then quitted the
woolsack, and proceeded to addreaa their
Lordships. He trusted tliat he need not
state that) though he had changed hia tita-
ation in Parliament, his principles mmsintd
unchanged ; and that, when he accepted the
office which his Msjesty had been pleased to
confide to his care, he accepted it in the full
and perfect conviction that it would be ht
from disabling him from performing his du^
to his country, or from rendering his ser-
vices to It less efficient. '* The thing which
dazzled me most," continued the Lord
Chancellor, ** in the prospect uf my eleva-
tion, was not the gewgaw splendour b^
which it was surrounded, but tlie chance it
afforded me, if I were houest, on which I
could rely, that in serving my Kinglshodd
be the better able to serve my country.'"
On the motion of Lord Lyndhunt, the
Regency Bill was read a second time.
N(W. 29. — In reply to some questions put
by Lord Wyuford, Earl Grey said that the
distress which existed in the country had
been the constant subject of the considera-
tion of his Majesty's M misters ever since
their accession to otBce. He did not, how-
ever, contemplate proposing u parliamentary
committee of inquiry ; neither did it occur
to him thbt it was necessary to give any ad-
ditional power to the magistrates. Even in
the roost distOrl)ed paru of the country, the
powers which the magistrates already pos-
sessed, would, he was persuaded, be found
suflicient ; and he was extremely anxious to

pnblio nuitanee ; they (>ref«nted the eipei-
ditura of capital upon land, and the bringing
of mora land into cultivation ; and this at a
time when it was necetsary to have every in-
ducement to the employment of capital. —
The Archbishop qf Canterbury said, that he
did not altogether wish to defend the present
system of tithes, and he hoped tliat the Bill
which had been withdrawn last year would
be again brought forward this session. — ^The
B'uhap of Ltmdan said, that an unreasonable
clamour had been raised sgainst tithes and
the clergy ; but all that could be urged
•gainst tithes might in a great measure be,
with equal justice, urged against rent. No
nan had a greater right to his estates than
the clergy had to their tithes ; but the clergy
were attacked, because they were the weaker
body, and consequently more in want of de-
fenders than the aristocracy. The tithes
might, however, be more equitably divided ;
and indeed he would l>e the last man upon
that Bench to deny this proposition.
In tlie House or Commons, the same
day, Mr. lAttlHan moved fur leave to bring
in a bill for the entire abolition of the Truck
System, and to prohibit the payment of
wages otherwise than in money. He said
that the manufacturers who were in the habit
of pursuing this system set up a store, pro-
vided with every kind of necessary for which
his workmen had occasion, and there the
workman and his fiimily resorted for every
thing they required, to the extent of their
earnings, the amount earoed being set against
the articles they drew from the store. The
shop or store where those articles were soM
was usually kept by a relative of the master,
or by some peraon under his control. The
poor workman who objected to this system
was, of course, discharged. — A leuethened
ditcussiun ensued, in the course of which
Mr. flume, as an amendment, proposed to
refer the matter to a Select Committ<>e, to
inquire into what hod lieen the operation and
effects of the acts for re;xulating the |)ayment
of wages. — Mr. Sadler, Mr. Davies Gilbert,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Robert
Peel, Mr. P Thomson, the Attorney- Gene-
ral, Mr. D. VV. Harvey, Sir F. Burdett, and
Mr. C. Pelhom* supported the motion. Mr.
Robinson, Mr. Hyde Villiers, Mr. Hudson
Gurnsy, Mr. Attwood, Mr. Tennant, and
Mr. Warburton, were in favour of the
amendment. — On a division, there appeared,
for the original motion, 1 87 ; for the amend-
ment, 27.
Dec. 1 5. — Mr. PhUlpotls asked what ccurse
the Miuisters meant to pursue with regard
to the liviug of Stanhope, it having been de-
termined that the Bishop of Exeter was not
to be allowed to hold It with his Bishopric.
— Lotd AUhorp said, that the Ministers
thought It a ^tOM abuse, that so large a
piece of pre/crioeot should be he\d bj auy
person who resided at a dlttanet fma it,
and who therefore could not peraooallj at-
tend to the duties which devolved upon its
fiossessor ; they had therefore been iodeced
to advise his ^Iajesty not to allow tlie Itviag
of Sunhope to be held in eonmcndns
with the see of Exeter. He had alwaja
strongly regretted such alnisea* whenever
they came under his obsenratioo* aod afiwr
expressing these sentiments, he Deed hardly
add tliat he would not be a party to anch
abuses.
Z>ee. 16.-^The Marquis of Chandott ad-
verting to the evidence tidcen before the
Committee upon the Evesham Election,
proving direct bribery, moved that the
Speaker do issue his supersedeas to the writ
issued for the election of two new memben,
until an inquiry should be instituted. — After
some discussion, the motion waa carried
without a divisicm.
Mr Campbell moved for leave to hriag
in a Bill for establishing a General Regis-
try for all Instruments affecting Real Phs-
perty in England and Wales. The Registry
was intended to be under one roof, and tlie
plan was such as to supersede the neeesatty
of alphabetical arrangement, and bring eaeh
different class immediately within the scope'
of the eye, so that the search which, aceofd-
iog to the system at present in use, would
take up several weeks, could be accomplished
in as many houra. — After some diseusaioB,
leave was given to bring in the Bill.
House op Lords, Dec. 20.
The Lord Chancellor moved for a return
of the numV>er of lunatics at present under
the care of the Court of Chancery, with the
dates of the longest and shortest time of
confinement, with the sums allowed for their
maiutenance, and the actual amount of
their estates. In the course of his obscr-
vatioDs, he stated that the average number
of lunatics under the protection of il»e court
was 400. The motion was agreed to.
Dec. 2 1 . — Lord fiynford, in rising to move
the first reading uf the Frauds upon Crediton
Bill, observed, that in the King's Bench and
Fleet prisons persons confined for debt were
enabled to get what they called ** the rules,"
by which they might live in luxury, and
wander about with impunity. He proposed
to extend an act, passed in the reign of
George II., whereby debtors were required
to give up their property to crediton, in case
the debt amounted to 1 00/., to debts of any
amount. He also proposed, that the real
property of absentees should be appropriated
to the discharge of all just debts. The bill
was read a first time.

THE NETHERLANDS.
On the 96th of Nov. the National
Congress of Belgium came to a resolu-
tion, by a minority of 161 to 28, to ex-
clude the bouse of Nassau from the
Belgic throne. After various discussions,
they have decided, as France bad done,
on a limited monarchy, or, as the
speakers expressed it, a republican go-
veriiroeu( with an hereditary chief ma-
gistrate.
The Royal Governor of the Grand
Duchy of Luxemberg, lately issued a
proclamation addressed to the inhabi-
tants of that province, in which he an-
nounced to them, that as they bad,
contrary to the orders of the King, sent
Deputies to the National Congress at
Brussels, his Majesty, as Grand Duke,
had been obliged to apply to the Ger-
man Confederation for assistance to
establish legal authority in a province
which forms part of the Germanic union.
The military movements in Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, in consequence, it
was presumed, of the Belgians having
claimed tbe possession of this duchy, for
some time excited considerable alarm
for the peace of Europe. In this pos-
ture of affairs, France has not remained*
an idle spectator. Marshal Soult, the
Minister of War, has been rapidly re-
organizing the army, and supplying tbe
fortresses upon tbe frontier with provi-
sions and munitions of war, in order to
be prepared for repelling any act of
foreign aggression or intervention. A
new levy of 80,000 men has been ordered,
in addition to 148,000 already raised.
This determined attitude, on tbe part of
France, appears to have checked the
hostile preparations of the Continental
powers.
POLAND.
On the evening of the 29th of Nov.
a sudden insurrection broke out at War-
saw. It began in the Military School
of Ensigns, on Uie occasion of two of
their comrades having suffered a degrad-
ing corporal punishment. The young
men, to the number of from 500 to 600,
took up arms, and, spreading themselves
through the town, called the citizens to
arms. A multitude of students and in-
habitants soon joined them. Tliey pro-
ceeded to the barracks of the infantry
and the arsenal, which wan taken by ten
o'clock. Tbe immense quantity of mus-
kets and sabres it contained were dis-
tributed to tbe people. The insurrrcti-
. oniita bad previously gained \be baTTacV.%
[pec.
of the infantry. The engineer regiment
was the first that rose, and several other
regiments soon followed it. Tbe Grand
Duke Coustantine, on tbe point of being
attacked or surrounded in hit palace,
effected his retreat upon Praga. Forty-
one Colonels or Majors were killed in
endeavouring to keep the troops in obe-
dience. The Chief of tbe Municipal
Police, two Russian Generals, tbe Ger-
man General Haucb, and Count Stanis-
laus Potoiky wece killed in seeking to
rally the troops. General Clopieckl
took the command of tbe Polish troops,
and has since been proclaimed Dictator.
Tbe Council of Administration, esta-
blished by the Emperor of Russia, in
conjunction with Prince Lubeski, Minis-
ter of Finances, Prince Adam Csarto-
rinski, and Prince Michael Rmdzivil,
immediately formed a Provisional Go-
vernment, and issued a proclamationi
in which they acknowledged the rights
of sovereignty of the Emperor Nicholas,
but on condition that the separation of
tbe two states should be complete, and
that no Russian military corps sboold
keep garrison in the kingdom of Poland.
Tbe critical situation in which the Grand
Duke found himself placed, afforded an
opportunity to tbe Provisional Govern-
ment to throw troops into the fortress
of Modlin, seven leagues from Warsaw,
on tbe other side of tbe Vistula. The
Grand Duke issued a circular in which
he endeavoured to impress on the minds
of the Poles the belief that he had no
intention of intermeddling with the new
order of things; but that, should hosti-
lities recommence, he would expect no-
tice for at least forty-eight hours previous.
His Imperial Highness, immediately be-
fore his departure from Poland, issued
the following Proclamation: — ** I give
the Polish troops, who have remained
faithful to me to the last moment, per-
mission to return to their countrymen.
I am going to march with the Imperial
troops, to withdraw from the capital,
and expect, from the honour of the Poles,
that the former will not be interrupted
in their march to the empire. I like-
wise recommend all establishments, all
property and persons, to the protection
of tbe Polish nation, and place them
under tbe safeguard of its honour.**
The Provisional Government has de-
creed a levy en mnsse of 200,000 men,
and the formation of Burgher Guards.
Several persons are gone to tbe different
provinces to org.inize the insurrection.
The Emperor Nicolas, according to tbe
last accounts, breathes nothing but war
and vengeance against the abettors of

already arrived, and the ^wDimen work*
in; like horses. There were then burn-
ing 25 ricks of com, hay^ and clover,
with bams and out-houses of diflferent
de-tcriptions, connected with the largest
farm in the neighbourhood. The stable,
by the exertions of the University stu-
dents, (wrbo worked the engines, climbed
the roof with their gowns, and poured
buckets of water, banded to them from
below, on the embers, as they fell on the
thatch,) was saved, and by that means
the dwelling-house also, which was com-
pletely surrounded vnlhjire. Some i»f the
gownsmen stood up to their waists in
watery filling the buckets, others en-
tirely pulled down an outbuilding, which
it was thought might endanger the
house. Some continued to work during
the whole night. This terrible event
produced of course a great state of ex-
citement in the place, increased by some
letters, threatening an attack on the
University, on the following market day.
No sooner was this report promulgated,
than every man began to provide him-
self with arms; 1500 bludgeons were
•old in two days. There was not a pis*
tol to be had in the town, and all the
conversation was about companies and
captains, and every other hostile prepa-
ration. Besides this, 1000 special con-
stables were sworn in from the towns-
people. The day, however, went oflf
without disturbance.*'
S^l, 24. The New Infirmary for the
County of Salop, was opened this day.
The first record we have of a charitable
foundation in Shrewsbury, is in the
time of Henry II; being 'an "Infirm-
ary," founded by Earl Roger de Mont-
gomery, within the abbey, as an asylum
for diseased or superannuated monks.
The Salop Infirmary was esUblislied in
1743, commenced its salutary operations
in 1747, in a building originally a private
residence ; which in 1835 was found so
defective, that the erection of a New
Infirmary was determined on. It is a
freestone Grecian building, 170 feet long,

LONDON AND ITS VICINITY.
Several trials have lately taken plaes
at the Admiralty Sessions, arisioi; frooi
the brutal practice of flogging seamen
on board the East India ships, upon the
most trifling occasions. In some in*
stances the officers have been indited
for assault ; and in other cases the
men have been tried for mutinous
threats, and refusing to do their doty^
when ordered. These circuoDstances
have excited much public attention ;
and have at length induced the Adasi-
ralty ro issue an important circular for
the purpose of checking the system of
flogTi^ing, which has been too arbitrarily
inflicted in the navy, often at the whin
or caprice of subordinate officers. The
circular sets out by stating, that thoagh
the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty are fully aware of the necessrty of a
commanding officer retaining the power
of inflicting corporal punishment, yet
that this power should be exercised with
great discretion ; they therefore order,
that no man shall be flogged except upon
a warrant signed by the captain or oAeer
in command, and also by the complain-
ing officer; which warrant is to specify
the offence committed, the rating and
length of service of the man, and the
nature of the iovesiigation previously
entered into, with the names and rank
of the witnesses, and other points calcu-
lated to restrain the undue exercise of
the power of inflicting corporal punish-
ment. These warrants are to be for-
warded quarterly to the Admiralty. It
is moreover ordered, that no man shall
be flogged until twelve hours have
elapsed from the period of completing and
signing the warrant, except in cases of mu-
tiny. The number of lathes, in the most
extreme case, is also limited to forty-eight.
Dec, 8. An unhappy fanatic, named
Thomas James Sisk, was arrested near
the entrance to the House of Lords,
whose intention was suspected to be the
assassination of the Duke of Wellingtoiu
On being seised by the police officer,
he thrust the muzzle of a pistol in his
right cheek, and attempted to discharge
it, but it only flashed in the pan. Ho
stated that he was a native of Cork, and
had, from his infancy, studied the mira-
cles of the Old Testament, and every part
of it where the Lord enjoined the slaugh-
ter of mankind for their wickedness.

died in 1731, a Judge of the Irish Court
of Common Pleas. His son Francis,
wbo chiefly resided at Bassingbourn-
hall in E^sex, married Lady Anne Petty,
only daughter of Henry Earl of SheU
burne ; but, having no issue, was suc-
ceeded by his nephew, James Bernard,
Esq. the father of the subject of this
memoir. Mr. Bernard was Knight of
the Shire of Cork in three Parliaments ;
and by Esther, youngest daughter of
Percy Smyth, Esq. sister and coheiress
of William Smyth, of Headhorough, Elsq.
and widow of Robert Goukin, of Court
Macsherry, Esq. was father of a nume-
rous family, of whom the Earl of Ban-
don was the eldest son.
During his father's life-time, his Lord-
ship sat in two Irish Parliaments. In

t/res of Ennis ; from 1783 to \790 he

were formed in the standinf; com,
watching for the effect made by the
ennnoii shot to penetrate the square;
the latter, however, advanced upon them
in double quick time, and repulsied all
their attacks. This officer was soon
afterwards placed upon the Staff of the
Duke of Wellington. He was nomi-
nated a Knight Commander of the Batli
on the enlargement of that Order in
1815; and he received the brevet of
MaJorGeneral on the birthday of the
Prince Regent in 1819. Sir Charles had
the honour of wearing a cross and twe

Nov, 5. At Blackheath, aged 56, Ma-
)or-General Sir Charles Philip Belson,
K.Cd.
This officer entered the service in
179*l» in the 13th regiment of foot, and
served in the West Indits in the cam-
paign of that and the following years at
St Lucie, Martinique, and St. Vincent ;
at the attack of the French redoubts,
and in the Charib country, where he
was wounded. He served also during
all the operations of Sir Ralph Aber-
cromby in the Leeward Islands. In July
J 795, he was removed to a Lieutenancy
in a troop attached to the 6th West
India regiment, and served in St. Do-
mingo when the British cavalry opera-
tions were extensive in «hat settlement.
In January 1797 he purchased a com-
pany in the 9th regiment of foot, which
was soon after sent home from the West
Indies. He eoptinued to serve in it in
various parts of England and in Guern-
sey, until April 1799> when he exchanged
to a troop in the 7th light dragoons. In
1799 he embarked in the expedition for
the Helder, and was present at the se-
veral actions of the 19tb of September,
the 2d, 3d, and 6th of October, &c.
Upon the latter day he commanded the
cavalry detached under Col. Macdonald,
which, with the reserve of the army,
attacked the French lines. In this ac-
tion he was wounded, and had his horse
killed under him. He continued with
the regiment until 1804, when he pur-
chased a MAJority, and on the S4th of
November of that year the Lieut.-Colo-
nelcy of the 28ib regiment. This dis-
tinguished corps be commanded for
many years, in the various expeditions
and rampaigns in which it h»s been em-
ployed, including the expeditions to
Walcheren in 1809y and the campaigns
in the Peninsula. He commanded the
brigade in which the 28th regiment was
placed at Barrosa. and at Waterloo. At
the former battle Colonel Wheat ley's
brigade, consisting of the 28th, 67tb,
and 87th regiments (from that officer's
horse being shot, and himself unable
to join) fell to his command ; it took
the eagle from the 8th French regi-
ment, and greatly distinguished itself.
At Waterloo, (being then Colonel, by
brevet of June 5, 1813,) he succeeded
eArlf in the day, upon the fall of Sir
TbomMs Picton, to the command of Ma-
Ma'rshal Von Yorck.
Oct, 4. In Silesia, Von Yorek, Count
bf Wartenburgb, a Field Marshal in the
Prussian service.
This excellent old soldier was the first
who threw off the yoke of Buonaparti
after the Russian retreat. He was of
English extraction : as will appear by
the annexed translation of a German
letter, written a few years ago to the
Princess Louisa of Prussia, by the Fields
Marshal himself:
*< The last of my ancestors in England
was David Jonathan Yorke, my great-
grandfather; he left England in the
time of the persecutions of Cromwell,
about the yeftr 1650 (after the battle of
Worcester), or soon after. He went,
with several of his countrymen^ and one
particular friend, Leslie, to Sweden, and
married there an heiress, the Baroness
Byern, who lost her fortune by a law-
suit, which was unfortunately decided in
the lifetime of my father. My grand-
father took service in the army of Charles
XII. and followed his military career till
the year 1715, when he married the Po-
lish Countess Koszniecka, who bad an
estate in the part of Pomerania belong-
ing then to Poland. From that time my
family were established in Germany. My
grandfather had five sons, who all served
in the Prussian army; and four of them
died on the f)eld of honour in the Seven
Years' War, two at the battle of Leut-
ken, one at Kunersdorff, and one at

Capt. Rotheram bore Lord Nelson's
banner m a K.B. at tbe funeral of that
great chieftain ; and was himself nomi-
nated a C.B. in 1815. Fifteen months

sent Majesty when Lord High Admiral,
he was appointed to an extra Captaincy
of Greenwich Hospital. He was a brave
officer, and uuivei-sally respected.
Capt. Halsted, R.N.
JLaiefy, At Exeter, aged 6S, Joho
Halsted, esq. a Post-Captain in tbe
Royal Navy.
This gentleman was bom at Gosport,
the third son of the late Capt. William
Anthony Halsted, R.N. by Mary, oniy
daughter of Charles Frankland, esq. He
bad three brothers, who were all like-
wise devoted to the naval profession:—-
CharlcfS, a Lieutenant, perished in the
Blanche frigate, 1780; Sir Lawrence-
William Halsted, K.C.B. now an Admi-
ral ; and George, a Commander of 1809.
At tbe early age of eight years we find
Mr. John Halsted embarked on board
the Jersey of RO guns, commanded by
his lather; whom he had the misfor-
tune to lose, at New York, in 1774. He
was then removed to the Amazon 33,
Capt. M. Jacob, under whose care be
remained until that ship was paid off, in
the course of tbe following year. He
was then placed at school, where he
continued until 1782, at which period
be joined the Blenheim 98, Capt. (after-
wards Lord) Duncan, and proceeded
with him to the relief of Gibraltar. He
subsequently served as a Midshipman
on board the Princess Royal, of the
same force, Capt. Jon. Faulkner; Queen,
another second-rate, the flag-ship of Adm.
John Montagu, Commander-in-Chief at
Portsmouth ; tbe Ganges 74, successively
commanded by the Hon. Jas. Luttrell
and Sir Roger Curtis, Bart.; the Hebe
frigate, Capt. Edw.ThornliOrough; Pen*
•everance 36, Capt. Isaac Smith, on the
East India station ; Crown 64, Capt. R.
Manners-Sutton ; Brunswick 74, Sir R.
Curtis s and Queen Charlotte first-rate,
bearing the Hag of Earl Howe ; by whom
be was made a Lieutenant, and appoint*
ed to tbe Suffolk 74, in Sept. 1793.
A few mouths after bit advaiioenoat«
Lieut. Halsted again sailed for tbe Baal
Iiidies; Capt. Peter Rainier of the Siil*
folk having been ordered to boiat a
broad pendant as commander in chief
on that station. During tbe operations
against Ceylon and the Spice Islands^
the Commodore entrusted him with tbe
command of 100 seamen aenriog with
tbe troops on shore ; and on tbi^ir re*
turn to Madras in March 1797, pro-
rooted him to tbe command of tbe Swift
sloop, which vessel be gave up at tbe
request of his patron, who was anxious
that he should assume the government
of the naval hospital then newly esta-
blished at that place, having witnessed
with great satisfaction the salutary mea-
sures he adopted when landed in charge
of tbe sick at Amboyna. Shortly after
this appointment, the Government of
Bengal determined to send an ezptdi-
tion against Manilla, in conseqaenee of
which Capt. Halsted was ordereid to pro-
ceed to Calcutta, and there take the
command of the Vulcan bomb, a vestel
purchased and fitted for that service.
The enterprise, however, was abandoned
before the armament left Prince of
Wales's Island) and in November fol-
lowing, he was appointed to succeed the
Hon. George Murray in the Heroine 39,
the latter being removed by tbe Admi-
ralty to the Crescent frigate on tbe Cape
station; but as that officer had some
private affairs to settle in India, Capt.
Halsted agreed to exchange with him,
and lost no time in proceeding to tbe
Cape to join his ship, the commander-
in-chief having charged him with de-
spatches for Europe to be forwarded
from thence. On his arrival, however,
he foond that Rear-Adm. Pringle had
sailed in the Crescent for EUigland as
his flag-ship; and, an opportunity offer-
ing, Capt. Halsted felt it his duty to fol-
low with the despatches, which he deli-
vered at tbe Admiralty in June 1798 {
when, to his great mortification, be
found that instead of confirming his
post commission, tbe Board would only
grant him tbe rank of Commander from
tbe date of his arrival.
Capt. Halsted was neat appointed, in
1804, to the Lord Nelson defence ship,
on the Downs station; and in 1807 be
accepted the situation of principal agent
for transports in the Copenhagen expedi-
tion. He subsequently proceeded to Gi-
braltar, and was actively employed until
after tbe Convention of Cintra, when be
at length received a post commisaiou,
dated Nov. 31, 1808. In tbe following

Obituary.-^ Mr. Alderman Crowder,
[Dec.
aeroM the Campai^iia, under wbieb he
{gradually sunk, after a abort but very
severe illneftt. The character of bis dis-
order was viulenc fever, attended with
almost uninterrupted delirium, which
quitted him only a few hours before his
dissolution. He was then for the fir£t
time aware of his e&treme danger, and
submitted, to borrow the words of an
eye-witness, in entire resi|i;nation to his
Maker's will, sanctified by firm and
Christian hopes in the merits of his Re-
deemer.
By his will, after some legacies to old
and dear frieud«, he has recorded his
fondness for the place of his education,
by bequeathinfc to his Collfge all his
plate for the use of the Master and Fel-
lows ; and to the Ashmolean Museum, for
the use of visitors and students, his li-
brary, which is of considerable value and
eatent ; bis pictures, some of which are
reputed to be extremely fine ; together
with his medals, coins, prints, and every
other article of vertu, which he had col-
lected during his residence on the Con-
tinent. This whole collection is vested
in trustees, — is to be kept distinct, and
to be called after his name. A provision
is also made by him, it is believed, of
•ome small annual stipend to the person,
under whose charge the collection is to
be placed.
Mr. Finch was married in the year
1880, during his stay in Italy, to Maria,
the eldest daughter of Frederick Thom-
son, Esq. of Kensington, by whom he
has left no issue. He was a man of very
considerable attainments, well versed in
classical literature, and familiarly ac-
quainted with modern languages; seve-
ral of which, and more particularly
Italian, he spoke with an uncommon
degree of fluency and elegance. He was
an ardent admirer'of the Fine Arts, and
in statuary and painting, though not
practically a proficient in either, bore
the reputation of being a tasteful and
accurate judge. He was likewise not
only himself a lover of learning, but
ever eager also to encourage its cul-
tivation in others. Antiquities, and
particularly topography, were at all
times very favourite objects of his pur-
suit ; and in the course of his travels
abroad he had visited mostly alone, and
often on foot, many, if not all, of the cele-
brated places in July, and had obtained
in this manner a critical and minute
acquaintance with the local antiquities
of that country, such as very few fo-
reigners have been known to possess.
In bis frienilships he was warm and af-^
feetionate i but, as he loved without re-
serve, bis attachments, if once inter-
rupted, were seldom known lo ttvwe.
Candid and liberal in his sentimenti* Im
was an entertaining and instructive co»-
panion ; a gentleman, too, by birth, no
less than in manners and in spirit ; and
in private life, generous and bospitabla
to the utmost eaient of bis income.
The best testimony of his numerous ex-
celltfuces, both of head and heart, wiU.be
found in the gricfof his surviving friendt}
and there are none, who have ever known
biro, such as he really was, who will not
find very much in his lo«s to regret, or
will hear of his fate with indiflference.
Mr. Finch was an occasional coutrlbutof
to this and other miscellanies; but,
though he is supposed to have left be-
hind him materials for more than one
work of importance, never appeared be-
fore the world as an author, excepting
of two sermons, published in the year
1809.
Mk. Aldbrman Crowdbr.
Dec, 9, At hit house at Hammer-
smith, aged 74, John Crowder, £fq.
Alderman of the ward of Farringdoa
Within, and late Lord Mayor of London.
Alilerman Crowder was a native of.
Buckinghamshire, and originally brought
up as a printer) in which businest be
was for some time employed in bis Ma-
jesty's printing-office, under the Ule
WilUam Strahan, Esq. About fifty yeais
ago be obtained an engagement in the
printing-offlce of Francis Blytb, Esq.
printer and part proprietor of the « Pub-
lic Ledger/* a daily morning paper moeh
encouraged by persons concerned in
commerce and shipping, and the ** Lon-
don Packet," an evening paper, pub-
lished three times a week. Both these
papers had been for some yean sup-
ported by the productions of Goldsmith,
Kelly, and other literary gentlemen.
This engagement, in which Mr. Crow-
der took a very active part, continued
until the year 1787, the time of Mr.
Blyth*s death, when Mr. Crowder, who
the year before had married Mr. Blyth's
niece (Mary-Ann James], succeeded to
the management of the whole concern.
This he carried on for upwards of thirty
years, with the greatest impartialitv,
diligence, and integrity ; and during
this period was frequently employed in
printing valuable works for the book-
sellers, by whom he was equally
esteemed for punctuality, intelligence,
and accuracy. He did not finally quit
the printing business until about ten
years ago, when he had obtained an
estimable character in public life, and
had amassed a considerable fortune by
some successful speculations, which

ntaroin; health* he hud at this time
l^ven up all hopes of ultimate recovery.
The Uu time the present writer saw
him vat on Tuesday, Nov. 8, wheii be
took leave wiih a strong impression
that they were never more to meet. On
Tuesday fullowin;, Nov. 9, he removed,
in a very feeble state, to his house at
Hammersmith, after takin|( a solemn
leave of the establish ment at the Man-
sion-house ) the scene was particularly
affectinif ; the servants crowded around
him, weeping bitterly as for a kind
friend and master, and the people in the
street that had assembled round his
carriage, partook of their feelinj^, and
prayed many blessings on bis head. To
the poor indeed he had in all stations
in life been a generous beoefactor* and
we speak upon tht* best authority when
we say that during his mayoralty he
did not expend less than \O00L on cha-
ritable purposes; and we may add. From
a4i intimate knowledge of forty-eight
years, that on such occasions he knew
not how to refuse.
He languished at his house at Ham-
mersmith until Thursday, Dec. 9, when,
after a week of considerable suffering,
he quietly departed this life at a quarter
pasi three u*clo<rk in the morninii;, pre-
cisely at the uour when his brother,
James Feslilier Crowder, Esq. died at his
honse at Siockwell Common, two days
before, but the Alderman was too far
gone to be made acquainted with this
event. His brother, %%ho was h liberal
supporter of several public charities, was
about two years younger. TheAld»rman
was interred on Monday, Dee. 13, in the
parish church of Christchurcb, Newgate-
street, with the honours due to his rank
and character, and roost deeply regretted-
by the inhahitanu of bi^ ward, who
have since taken every opportunity to
testify their veneration. His remains
were depofiited in the same vault which
received those of his wife in November,
1823
Mr. Alderman Crowder's character
was one of those which we have often
heard recommended asapatterntoyoung
men in business ; it may be comprised
ill two words, iNDtJSTRY and inteoritv.
Both distinguished him while in trade,
and both he carried with him into pub-
lic life. While enjoying health, which
was the case for many years, he had that
spirit, vivacity, and intelligence which
rendered him an agreeable companion,
and enlivened the hospitable table to
which his numerous friends had easy
access. A long servitude, if we may so
call it, to Ward business, first as a mem-
ber of the Common Council, and after-
nnrda as a J)rputy, enabled him to be-
cuaw «ir(/ii.iinfcd with the laws, re\;uVA-
tlohs, and eustomt of tlit Citjr; and fur-
nished him with both knowledge aad
experience which rendered bia transi-
tion to the higher offlcea of Aldermaa
and Lord Mayor more easy» and eerteinif
more beneficial.

tol. King Richard the Second grant-
ed the monks a hogshead of wine
vearly out of that port; and King
licnry the Fifth a charier of free-
warreu in the manors of Hinton of
Korton. Their estates were in 1444
valued at 60/. l6s. \0d. In the S6th
Henry VIII. the gross refenues were
estimated at 262/. 12f. ; the reprisals
from which amounted to 13/. ISx. \0d,
leaving a net income of nearly 260/.
The Piiory was surrendered to the
King on the 31st of March, 1640.
Edmund Hoid, the last Prior, was as-
signed a pension of 44/. ; and twenty-
one monks were also pensioned, two
at IS marks or 8/.; fourteen at 10
marks ; and four at three marks or 2/.
The site of the Priory was granted,
about four years after, to John Bartlet,
who sold it to Matthew Colthurst. It
was afterwards in the Hungerford fa-
mily, then in the Robinsons, and in
the time ofCollinson the historian of
Somersetshire, the joint property of
Jamet Humphrys, esq. and Joseph
Frowd, esq. in ri^ht of their wives, the
daughters of Stocker Robinson, esq.
The old manor-house of Hinton,
represented in the first view of the
Plite, is supposed to have been built
out of the ruins of the Priori'.
Hinton Charterhouse, the present
mansion, which is about half a^mile
distant, was the seat of the late James
Skurray Day, esq. brother-in-law to
the present Lord Ribbiesdale, and is
now occupied by his mother, Mrs.
Day; a description of the house, and
the pictures, will be found in the
Beauties of England and Wales.
The second view represents the re-
mains of the Priory church. There is
another view of this buildin;; in the
elegant little work entitled "The An-
tiquarian Itinerary.'* It shows the
east window, composed of three lancet
Mghts, without any tracery above ; and
another lancet witiduw on the north.
This favoured s|>ot, which the some-
what difficult Carthusians at length
chose as the scene of their mortifica-
tions, retains its natural beauties. "The
environs,'* says Collitison, *' are highly
beautiful, being variegated with fine
open lawns, hanging woodsy and lim-
pid streams. In the vicinity are seve-
ral large tumuli ; and in the rains of
the abbey have been dug up Roman p]
bricks, tesserae, and other reliques.**
Within the monastery ofHiotOD wu
for many years resident Tbouias Spen-
ser, a learned and pious monk, ion of
Leonard Spenser of Norwich. He
wrote, among other works, *'Coai-
ment. in Epist. D. Pauli ad Galaiit.'*
He died in 1529, and was buried in the
Priory church.

Hunter, F.S.A. recently published, oe-
curs the following list ot books, speci-

dote is corious. M*Letii, owing to a great
impediment in hit utterance, never made
•Of figure in conversation ; and passed with
most people as a person of no particular at-
taiomenU. But when Lord Shelbume came
into office, he was appointed Under Secre-
tary of Sute, and subsequently nominated
to a Goremorsh'ip in India; a rapidity of
promotion to a man wltliout family or par-
fiamenUry interest, that can only be ex-
plained by a profound conviction, on the
part of his patron, of his superior talents,
md perhaps also from a strong aense^ of
some peculiar obligation. M'Lean sailed
for India in the Aurora frigate, and was lost
in the wreck of that ship on the coast of
A^ca. That the Letten of Junius were
not ascribed to him by any party, is not
surprising ; for his literary ulents were un-
known to the public. But the general ofA-
nion of all men at the time was that they
were the production of some person in con-
section with Lord Shelbume." — Vol. II.
p. 67.
1. Mr. Gait speaks with too much
confidence, and in direct opposition to
the fact, when he states that " it wa»
the general opinion of ali men at the
time,'* (though general and all cannot
be, grammatically or logically, thus
Dnit<^d in the same sentence,) ** that
they were the production of some per-
son in connection with Lord Shel-
bume.** For the general opinion of
the contemporaries was in favour of
Burke, as I could easily ])rove, if space
were allowed to me.
2. The story told by Mr. Gait about
Governor Hamilton and Mr. Lad dan
M'Lean, may be applied to a very im-
portant purpose connected with Ju-
nius. The great argument urged by
Mr. John Taylor and other Francis-
cans, is that the sudden and extraor-
dinary promotion of Sir Philip Francis
to a high appointment in India, can
only be accounted for on the supposi-
tion that he was the author ot the
Letters of Junius. This kind of argu-
ment, which its promulgators regard
as decisive, rests in truth on this dan-
gerous foundation, — that no oiher in-
stance can be found of a man similarly
exalted * without family or parliamen-
tary interest ;' and such is ihe deUcacy
of the argument, that a single authen-
tic instance is sufficient to overturn it.
The history of Lachlan M*Lean sup-
plies the instance required, and the
Franciscans must strike their colours!

a correspondent had a few yean lincr
made inquiry about this personage,
and a reply was given at the tme, mt
there is no reference to guide me lo
the numbers containing the queria
and the answers, or ta the subfcels
discussed in them.
4. Mr. Gait tells a curious anecdote
in p. 65, which I will transcribe: —
'* Dr. Francis, the fmther of Sir Philiiy,
had been long before mentioaed, but rar
what reason I nave never been able to ascer-
tain. The answer of Sir Philip himself on
the subject is, however, euriouely eqanvoeal :
at least it so strikes me ; although it is ^
nermlly considered as a decided deninl. It is
as follows : — * The great civilitv of yoar
letter induces me to answer it, which, with
reference merely to lU sobjeet-matter, I
should have declined. Whether you v^
assist in giviug currency to a silly, oial^-
nant falsehood, is a question for your ova
discretion ; to me it is a matter of perfect
indifference.' But notwithstanding all this,
an amusingly mysterious clrcumstaBce has,
I am informed, transpired since the death of
Sir Philip. In a box, it is aaid, which ha
carefully deposited with (at) his banker's,
and which was not to be opened (ill aftar
his death, a copy of the publication ' Jo-
nius Identified,* with a common copy of tbe
* Letters of Junius,* were found. I shall
offer no comment on this occurrence; fof
even granting that it was true, it miftht
have been but a playful trick, if Sir Philip
Francis was, in any respect, a humorist."
In my ** Letters on the Authorship
of Junius*s Letters," I have stated a
fact communicated to me by my ex-
cellent friend the Rev. Dr. Fellowes,
that after the death of Sir Philip he
examined his library, with a view to
the very question of the authorship of
these Letters, and he found one copy
of Junius containing some marginal
notes of a very ordinary description,
and not likely to have been made by
Junius himself.
5. One of the identities of expres-
sion noticed by the ingenious Mr. John
Taylor as remarkable in Junius and
Sir Philip Francis, is the phrase so Jar
forth. In the book above cited, I
have commented on this remark. If
the phrase were confined to these two
writers, then Mr. Taylor might be
justified in laying great stress on the
fact ; but without an universal know-
ledge of English authors of every tkgtf
and without a memory equal to that
knowledge, Mr. Taylor cannot rea-
sonably take on himself to say that no

amused by the perusal of the following
article, extracted from a Utter addressed

Pickering. Esq. and dated Boston,
V. S.. Aug. l6, 1830:—" I enclosenn

whether Lord Temple nag the author,
as lately contended in England. The
writer of this piece takes the nenative
of tbe question. But it is a little re-
markabte that ai much as ten or twelve
yean ago, an icquainiance of mine
came to the conclusion (hat Lord
Temple was tbe author; and he had
marked in his copy of Junius all the
passages and allnsioni which, he
thought, indicated Lord Temple lo be

said so often, and vani«hed again into
thin air, that the very menlinii of it
associates the disacreeablo idea of a
hoax, and diminishes, in the minds of
readers, the real im|iotliiuce of thai

which it annexed valuable history.

elevation which none of the Gren-

stern principles and rigid honour, and
so little of a courtier, that the lute
King more than once complained to
iliose about him of the uncourily be-

Now his Lordship bad spirit enough,
venom enough, and reieniment
enough ; but ho had not talent enough
to crowd so much thought into so few
words, and those few so elef^ani as has
Junius. It is, however, remarkable
that Jimiut never once mentions the
name of Lord Temple g and whenever
he mentions his brother-in-law, Loid

remarkable that this illustrious noble-

Mr. Urban,
IN your Mogazines for 18 17 and
1818, there are several notices of
Sir Henry Lee, of Quarendon, in Buck-
inghamsnire, and of Quarendon Cha-
pel, the burial place of his family.*
The following Church notes, taken in
1795, commemorate the subsequent
members of the same noble family.
Spelsbury is a village in Oxfordshire,
at about a mile distant from Charl-
bury, and consists of but very few
houses, yet is an extensive parish, hav-
ing three hamlets within it, viz. Dean,
Tosion, and Fulwell; and Ditchley-
house, once the noble seat of the Earls
of Lichfield, from whom it has de-
scended to Lord Viscount Dillon.
The Church appears to be smaller
than it originally was, great part of it,
as well as the tower, having been
taken down, and rebuilt. It is neatly,
pewed, and consists of a pinnacled
lower, nave, two side ailes and chan-
cel, and has a handsome altar-piece.
In this Church lies buried the witty
but profligate Earl of Rochester, but
without any memorial.
On the north side of the chancel is

a monument to the memory of Sir
Henry Lee. It consists of an aliar-
tomb of black and white marble, tur*
mounted by a canopy of the same ma*
terials; the pedestals and capitals of
the columns which support it are
white, and the shafts of black marble,
and ornamented with loses, cherubs,
obelisks, &c. Above the canopy
are well executed figures of Time,
Death, and two Hymens with reveraed
torches; also an ArchanMl soonding
two trumpets, in front of whom is a
shield, helmet, and the family crest,
an eagle upon a column, whose head
is a ducal coronet, but no shield of
arms. Beneath the canopy are the
cumbent figures of Sir Henry Lee and
his lady ; he is represented in armour,
bareheaded, peaked beard, Vandyke
frill, and trunk hose ; she in a close
sown, with large drawn sleeves, tied
in the middle with ribbons, her hair
much frized, and covered with a veil;
their hands are elevated in prayer, 9oA
their heads rest on richly embroidered
cushions. At the head of the tomb
are smaller figures of a son and a
daughter, both kneeling; the youth is
drcMed as the father, with loose straight
hair, his right knee to the ground, the
right hand on the left breast, and the
left hand holding a book turned dowa
upon his left knee; the daughter is
dressed as the mother, but with the
addition of laced lappets, for her head-
dress. At the foot of the tomb are two
other of their daughters, habited in the
same manner, the hands of all three
in the attitude of prayer. By the side
of Sir Henry are three smaller figures
of chiklren in cumbent positions, one
of which is covered with a mantle,
and appears to have died soon after its
birth. On the border of the tomb,

Baronet, of Thirkeli)y, in Yorkshire, wife
to George Henry Lee, third Earl of Litch-
field. Died January y* 8th, 1779| aged sixty,
imiversaliy lamented by all ranks of people,
being possessed of every moral, benevolent,
and social virtue, derived from those true
Christian principles, which now receive their
fuU reward."
On the north side of the chancel is
a handsome monument, by Tyler,
to Robert fourth Earl of LitchHdd.
The base (on which is the following
inscription) is of grey marble, and in
the centre of it a white marble medal-
lion, with the Earl's arms impaling
those of Stonehouse (three eagles Pro*
per, with a bar Argent, a leopard's head
between two etoiles), beneath which
are branches of laurel. Behind the
base rises a pyramidal slab of black
marble, with gold veins, in front of
which is a large cenotaph of light cor-
nelian-coloured marble, standing on
lion's feel of white marble. On the
cenotaph stand two beautiful figures of
boy-angcis twining a wreath of flowers,
of white marble, about an urn of a
deep cornelian colour.
** In memory of Robert, Earl of Litch«
field, whose social disposition, amiable con-
descension, and unaffected benevolence, en-
deared him to all who had the honor of his
acquaintance. He was a firm friend, a
pleasing companion, an affectionate hus-
' iMind, a liberal and disinterested benefiictor.
Polite with sincerity, hospitable without
CBteaution, uniform in conduct, and \itib\-
' assed in principle; an exemplary partem o(

• On going to ihe wards for roalet,
the keeper informed me that among
them there was a French nobleman*
who had long been an inmate of the
house; indeed, his case was considered
perfectly hopeless. When we entered
the apartment where he was, he rose
and welcomed as with the most finish-
ed urbanity of manner. He was a tall,
handsome man, apparently about sixty
years of age. His face and expression
were ouite French, his forehead was
finely formed, and he wore powder in
bis hair, and a queue, and dressed some-
what in the style of the age of Louis
XV. He begged we woo Id be seated,
while he himself continued standing,
and then entered upon a long incohe-
rent harangue upon the military glory
of his country. Sometimes he paused
and gazed with intense easerness upon
some battle scene, which nis wanaer-
ing imagination brought before him,
and, carried away by the impetuosity
of his martial feelings, waved his
hand to the advancing columns, calling
out, ** En avant, en avani I Fivt le
Roil Vive la France! — Monsieur^**
said he, addressing himself to me,
V c*eti la bataille de RocroL" And
here his bewildered spirit seemed to
rally for a time, for he entered upon a
dear, calm, and historically correct
account of that brilliant victory of the
Due d'Enghien, in which one of hia
ancestors had particularly distinguished
himself, and upon this his mind dwelt
with all the enthusiastic fondness of a
Frenchman. Exhausted by the pa-
roxysm he sat down, and when a little
recovered he rose up and walked away,
humming a French air.
1 was particularly struck with this
melancholy case. ''And here/* thought
I, *' is the last scion of a long and illus-
trious line of ancestry, famed in the
annals of their country's history, whose
fathers may have guided and enlight-
ened her senates, and led on her ar-
mies to victory and triumph, but whose
crimes and guilt may have drawn upon
the head of their unhappy descenaant
the fearful retribution of the Almigh-
ty's vengeance ; whose life appears an
existence at once miserable and use-
less, the calm light of reason being
supplied by the irregular flashes of a
disturbed imagination. Here he has
paced the halls of this gloomy abode
tor many a long year, and probably will
eoatinue to do so till his dying oav, a
kind ot iilUd spectre \ the blood ol no-
bility flowing in his teina, bat thi

SOME of your numbers have pre-
sented the public with noticct of
certain of the publications of the Com*
mission appointed in England for the
preservation and better arrangMnant of
Public Records, but I do not think that
the labours of the Commiaaion named
in Ireland for similar ob|ects have
excited your notice. Two volumes,
deserving of atteotion, have recently
come under my observation, and can*
not be too generally known. ThfEy
are entitled, " Inquisitionum in officio
Rotulorum Cancellariae asservatarom^
Repertorium.*' — vol. i. fol. I8S62
voL ii. fol. I829. They are edited by
Mr. Hardiroan, one of the Sub-Com-
missioners ; who sutes, in his prefatory
observations, that these Inquisitiona
are preservcxi in the Rolla'-office of the
Court of Chancery of Ireland, and
consist of Inquisiiionet post morietm,
which are the most numerous, and
Inquisitions on attainder. The^ am
divided according to the four provinces,
and the several counties ot Ireland,
into reigns, and commence iu the time
of Queen Elizabeth, there being few
prior to that period. The former class
cease soon after the restoration of
Charles II. when feudal tenures were
abolished by act of Parliament; the
latter extends to the reign of WiU
liam III.
The Inauisiiiones post mortem were
taken under writs directed to the es-
cheators, in a manner similar to those
taken in England, and the return ia
made upon the oath of the jurors. The
Inquisitions on attainders were taken
generally under commissions, directed
to commissioners in the several coun«
ties, and state whetjier the person waa
attainted ; and if so, his lands and^pro-
perty which were seized into the
King's hands.

dtflored the pasting of the Act of Par-
liament respecting the cultivation of
land by the Clergy! Where have I
enteretl into the motives or intentions
of the Pramen of the Bill? Where
have I denounced as sinful or ehame-
fnl, the cultivatioQ of a garden, or the
neociury occupation of a few acres of
hail True it ■), that in the Acts of
(he 17, 21, 43. 5s, and &G Geo. 111.,
and the 1, 4, 6, and 7 of Geo. IV., it
has not been my fortune to ditcover
the intention or the tendency of cither
of them to circuTnicribe ihc auriculiu-
ral pursuits of the Clergy. They ex-
press no such thing: and they have
been followed by a direct contrary
effect ; Bs since their cnaclineot, more
of the Clergy have become farmers
than before. Whatever ■' obliquity of
perception,'' iti regard in "common
justice,'* that correspondent may cen-
sure in nie, I have not such an obliquity
of vision, as to make any mistake when
1 see a parson engaged m foddering his
cattle, or Rtling his dunEC-cart. The word
" parson" 1 used, and now repeat ; not
in the mode of vulgar sarcasm, or with
a conlemptuoui allusion ; but because
it conveys iny carreel meaning, as it did
when 1 adopted the term farming par-
ions — for farming parson), not farming
curates, 1 cerUinly meant. I do not
believe that there are many of the lat-
ler class of the clergy engaged in such
pursuit) : nor many of them who have
much glebe to farm. I have hinted at
Ihe pTolmhie conaequentts of continuing

ing these clerical persons (there is Bn>
other word which, if the "Occupier
of his Glebe" will abstain from Laiin-
ieiiig it, is, i hope, imobjeclionable),
from their duty. I did not contend for
a total abttraclion from all secular af-
fairs. My opponent does not find
ihem pMiibiicd in the Scriptures.
But does he find secular concerns le-
cummended lo the cierny, or counte-
nanced by the 75th Canou I Have

or ploughing, or filliujt dutig-carts,

deemed servile j and in eveij naiion

and suitable to the functions of the

who minister about holy things. Yet
in these I see some of the clergy en-
gaged ; and so may ihe bishops too, if
they will open their eyes.
■The adoiission of " Cl. R." that
countrj overseers squander parochial
fundi in a manner injurious to the poor,
seems a very strange mode of explain-
ing the manner in which, as he says,
they do their duty ; and his confidence
of the order coming out from the or-
deal of investigation with triumph,
has no more to do with the question,
whether ihe clergy should become
farmers, than whether they may not

That " Cleiicus," or any man in his

THE village of Stall ingborough oc-
cupies a verv conspicuous pbee
in Domesday. From that venerable
record it ap|>ears that William divided
the lordship amongst four great pro-i
prietors. The Archbishop of York
neld an estate, to which was attached
the half share of one mill, the site of
another, two salt pits, and half a
slaughter-house. The Bishop of Bayu
eox had an estate assigned to hint
here, with a manor-house, one ban-
dred and eighty acres of meadow, and
the half part of a mill. Hugh, the
son of Bald rick, was another proprietor
who possessed a domain in Stalling-
borough, with five tofis, and a retinue
of servants. He held also two milb
and a half, two salt-pits, and two hnn*
dred acres of meaclow* Norman de
Adreci had several hundred acres of
land here under the cultivation of the
plough, with four hundred acres of
meadow, half the advowson of the
church, the site of a mill, and two
salt-pits. This property was tallag^
at twenty shillings.
The lordship of Stall ingborough sub-
sequently centered in the Ayscoj^hes, a
family ot great opulence and'distinctiou
in this county, who maintained a 00-'
ble establishment here, and exercised
the rites of old English hospitality for
many centuries. Another branch of
the same family had a Hall at Kelsey,
and a third resided in the borough of
Grimsby. Of the last the following

The grant was subsequently confirmed
by Henry Burghersh, Bishop of Lin-
coln, in the reign of Edward II L who
examined the registers of Hugh his
predecessor, and found the vicarage to
eonsist of the whole altarage, except
the tithe corn of the Court of Norman
D*Arcy; and half the tithe of lamb,
which belonged to the Abbat of Selby.
It had, however, been agreed, in the
year ISig, between the Abbat and
Norman D'Arcy, that the former should
have the privilege of removing his tithe
com out of the parish if he thought
proper; and in 1286 Norman D'Arcy
quitclaimed the Church, and confirm-
ed to Abbat William de Aslakely, the
advowson, with nine ox^angs of land.
Peter, son of Walter de Stallingbro*,
gave two selions of land to the Church ;
and Lettice, daughter of Alan de Hey-
ling, gave two oxgangs and two selions
on both sides of Wytcker, two upon
Keielholme, one upon Muscwell, and
one in Depedale in this parish. The
rectory was valuable, and it is hence
reasonable to suppose that the fabric of
the Church would be kept in eood re-
pair during the period of monkish pros-
perity ; but after the dissolution of the
monasteries, and the transfer of the
property into lay hands, it was much
neglected, and successive dilapidations
committed such ravages on the struc-
ture, that about fifty years ago, it was
thought necessary to take down the
ruin, and erect an entirely new Church
on the same site. The present build-
ing is of brick ; neat indeed, but pos-
sessing no characteristics which can
interest the architect or antiquary; and
it is on account of its monuments
alone that it has many visitors. Plain
circular-headed windows, without mul-
Jhns or transoms, prevail ihrooj^Vioul,

** Zcgiret'' against the honour of the
Queen. This calomny produced a duel,
in order to uve her honour. The
inTincible Lara, the young Fernan
Cortesy the brave Agoila, and the
Tenerable Telbez, master of the order
of Calatrava, fought against Mofaria,
Ali Sahal, and Moctader. The latter
KnighU were all killed ; and upon
their death the calumny against the
Queen was discovered. The Queen
had been accused of adultery, was con-
demned to be burnt, and, in order to
save her life, she implored the assist-
ance of the Spaniards to defend her in-
nocence. And these brave knighu,
quitting the army of King Don Ter^
Dando and Queen Oonna Isabel, which
besieged Granada, came into the city,
and oefended the honour of the Queen,
unjustly accused of adultery by her
sabiects.
The palace of Albaycin is not far
distant from the Alhamri ; it is situ-
ate on a hill. There is also the magni-
ficent palace commenced by the Empe-
ror Charles the Fifth, which was never
completed, and it is now entirely nes*
lected. The magnificence of the build-
ing, and the style of its architecture,
well deserve the favourable considera-
tion of the Spanish government.

'< Swear unto me here by GoD.*'^Genetis,
chap, xxu v. 83.
Mr. Urban, Oci, 9.
THIS kind of oath appears not only
generally in use in the time of
Abraham, but also to have descended
through many generations and ages in
the East. When Mr. Bruce was at
Skekk Amma, he entreated the pro-
tection of the Governor in prosecuting
his journey. Speaking of the people
who were assembled together in the
house, he says* — ''The ereat people
among them came, and after joining
hands, repeated a kind of prayer, of
about two minutes long, o? which
they declared themselves and tneir chil-
dren accursed if ever they lifted up
their hands against me in the Desert ;
or, in case that I or mine should fly to
them for refuge, if they did not protect
us, at the risk of their lives, their fami-
lies, and their fortunes; or, as ihey
emphatically expressed it, to the death
of their last male child among them." '
> Tnvels, i. i48.
' 1^^ a/so Uen99ls, uvi. 38, 29.
In Grenesis ' we read, " And Abra-
ham said unto his eldest tenrant of his
house, that ruled over all that be had,
' Put, I pray thee, thy hand under ny
thigh, and 1 will make thee awcar bv
the Lord.' " ^
The present mode of sweariag aoMM
the Mahomedan Arabs, that live \n
tents, as the patriarchs did, according
to de la Roque,^ is by laying hia hanS
on the Koran. They cause thoae who
swear, to wash their handa before they
give them the book; they pot thcv
left hand underneath, and the right
over it. Whether among the patriarchs
one hand was under and the other opoa
the thigh is not certain. Abraham's
servant might possibly swear with one
hand under his master's thigh, and the
other stretched out to Heaven. As the
posterity of the patriarchs are described
as coming out of the thigh, it has been
supposed that this ceremony had aoow
relation to their believing the promise
of God, to bleu all the nations of the
earth, by means of one that was to de-
scend from Abraham.'
Another species of oath is met with
in Genesis,* " By the life of Pharaoh."
Extraordinary as the kind of oath
which Joseph made use of appears 10
us, it still continues in the East. Mr*
Han way relates^ that the most sacred
oath among the Persians, is by the
King's head; and, among other in-
stances of it, we read in the Travek of
the Ambassadors^ —
'* There were but 60 horses for 94 par-
tons. The Mahommedan (or conductor)
swore by the head of the King, (which ia
the present oath among the Persians) that
he could not possibly find any more. And
Thevenot says,' his subjects were broittfat
before him with fear and trembling, and t£ey
have such respect for him, and pay so blind
an obedience to all his orders, that* bow no-
Just soever his commands might be, they
perform them, though against the law botn
of God and nature. Nay, if they swear by
the Kiitg's head, their oath is mora authen-
tic, and of greater credit than if they swoin
by all that is most sacred in Heaven and npon
earth." 10

strongest features ofwhich was iheTay,
was eminently striking; and we felt
little inclination to wonder at the well-
known exclamation of the Roman
soldiers — Ecce Tiberim !
As we approached to Dankeld, the
contemplation of green slopes, wiih
the most lively Terdare, was» aAer the
bare and rugged mountains which we
had lately passed, truly delightful. We
entered the town by the newly-erected
lodges of the Duke of Athofl, which
appeared to me elegant and tasteful,
and arrived at our inti soon after ele-^
Yen. Enquiring for the guide, we
speedily set forwards to view the won-
Jen ofthe place. It was a most en-
chanting summer's day, and the sce-
nery eminently calculated to inspire
cheerfulness. We arrived at the Brioge,
I think of seven arches, handsomely
constructed of stone, and from which
there is an excellent view of the vene-
rable but dilapidated Cathedral. The
entrance into the grounds, under a
flourishing plantation, and by the river
Bran, is exceedingly pretty; and the
8hadeaffordcdbythetree8,on the day we
visited it, most agreeable. We passed
over neatly garnished gravel walks, by
a sort of nursery for ]^oung plants,
which appeared to thrive with the
greatest luxuriance, and were kept in
the nicest order. Still proceeding along
the banks of the river, which is here
interrupted and impetuous, we arrived
at the celebrated Ossian's Hall, from
the windows of which the Falls were
presented to our astonishcii view, in
their full glory. After inspecting the
cave, and all the other wonders, we
Proceeded direct to the Rumbling
lrig,-whose waters sounded on the ear
for a considerable distance, as we ap-
proached. The rocks here are rugged
and grand, and the fall noble and pic-
turesque. On one side is an immense
chasm, the water black, and flowing
slowly at a great distance below the
Brig, and, as wc were informed, of asto-
nishing depth. The surrounding sce-
nery is awfully impressive, and few
could drop a stone into this abyss with-
out shuddering at its fall. This sensa-
tion is fur from being lessened, when
it is observed that the bank is soft and
orumbling, while it fearfully overhangs
the stream. Wc were led over walks
in excellent order, and under trees
which diffused an agreeable shade, to
a m\ng ground, from whence we en-
Jofeda view of inconceivable mag,ii\^-
cence and extent. At a little distaoee
beneath us rolled the Tay, of conside-
rable breadth, beautiful and pellaeidy
and reflecting from its bosom the no-'
merous and variegated trees which
were the ornaments of its banks. In
the distatice, to our left, were the blue
and picturesque mountains we had »
lately left behind us ; and, in our froDC,
the eye wandering delighted over a
beautifully extended tract of interven-
ing hill and dale, was pointed out to
us the classical country of Ducisinane,
with Birnam hill and wood, the latter
of which, in the words of Mr. Pto-
nant, certainly never seems to have re-
covered the march which its ancestors
made to the place first named. Oar
guide also caused us to remark the hill
on which stood Macbeth*s Castle, with
many other objects, equally worthy of
attention. The next object of curiosity
is Neil Gow's tree, under the shade of
which that ancient bard is said to have
composed many of his most admired
strains. From this spot the view is ex-
ceedingly pleasing, and the river peca-
liarly beautiful. Adjoining to it is a
cedar of large dimensions, as well as a
singularly fine view of the bridse, and
part of the town of Dunkeld, with
which we were altogether greatly
pleased. At this place we resumed our
knapsacks.
The sun was hot, and the road
sandy; but the views on each side de-
lightfully refreshing, and comparatively
lowland. We arrived at Aberfeldy at
four, and hence visited the Falls of
Moness. The woods here arc extremely
fine, and struck me as resembh'ng very
particularly those in the neighbourhood
of Corra Linn. The Falls theraseives,
however, are of a very different descrip-
tion; less magnificent, but scarcely
less pleasing. The body of water ts
comparatively small, and the declivity
gradual. The first of them, according
to our guide, was 250 feet ; the stream,
as ofthe purest silver, flowing placidly
along, and exciting the most pleasing
ideas. The rocks, on each side the
water, covered with trees, rise to a very
considerable height; and, in a great
measure, shut out the light of day. The
beholder appears to be, as it were,
walled in, and completely cut off from
the world and its inhabitants. It is
indeed a scene of the most secluded so-
litude. The trees are beautiful and
various, and add, in a very remarkable

and on this account we were far fioin
having the landscape in perfection. As
it wa«, wc had lo ihc right a view un-
commonly grand : — Loch Tay, in alt
ill majeity, its waters terminated by
the lowering summit of Ben Lawcri.
Immediately in our front wai the
river Tay, flowing through the richeii
■ncadowi and cornlieldi; lose ther with
the house and village of Wcems, sur-
rounded by wood. To the left, wns a
far extended view of the river and val-
ley, nearly as far as Dunkeld, compris-
ing the bridge we had passed ynlerday,
with the woods about ihe Fulls uf
Moncss, and ihe lawn of Aberfelily.
The sight of this place reininded me
of Burns, and I asked our conductor if
he had known any thine of him. He
told me that he had often seen him.
and thai he was a wonderful "clever
f;enileman.'' He showed himself la-
erably acquainted with his writinas,
prticularly with those which were in
any degree local, and, from the way in
which he spoke of him, 1 imagine he
was much read, as well as greatly vene-
nted, in this neighbourhood. We
descended by ihe looget route, and thus
■nade a circuit of ihe crags { ihe view
varying at different points where we
flnicd. On the outside of ihe Castle,
whose walls we did not peneiraic, was
ail inscription, signifying that it was

the road for a considerable distance.

YOU did me ihc favour lo insert in
vol. xcvin. pt. i. p. SS, some ob-
Mrvalions upon the predictions of the
celebrated astrologer Lilly, coniained
in his Almanac for llle year l6s$. Since
1 sent you iliose observations, Lilly's

have fallen in my way, and 1 now
furnish you with a few remark) upon
them, to[;elher with a transcript of
some coniemporaiy MS nom written
upon the copy of the Almanac for Ihe
former year, now In my potsewion.
These iwo Almanacs conlaio the
prfdictions in favour of the King of
" 'eden, for which Lilly ioforms us

1826) thai he was rewarded by
thai Soveteign wiih a gold chain ami

attached lo hia predictions. The Al-
manac for 16^8, he alio tells us, was
" translated into the language spoke at
Hamburgh, printed and cried about
the streets, ai it ii in London" {Hisl. of
his Life and Times, p. 74].
The year 1657, to which the earlier
of these Iwo little volumes relates. It
disiioguiibed in our hi«Iory by^yndcr-
combe's attempt touHissiuaie the Pio-
tector, and alio by ilie •cheme for the

▼oarers of astrology lo consider that year by miracle.** ** Some will hafe
Syndercombe's plot is designated by G<K5 and Magog c»roeool of the North,
the ** anhappy affront of some eminent
Commonwealth's man/* which is pre-
dicated of January 1657.
The year 1 658 opened with the
meeting of a parliament consisting of
two houses in the ancient form. The
squabble which speedily ensued — the
hasty dissolution of the Parliament —
Cromwell's distresses of mind and
body, and finally his death, all hap-
pened during this eventful year, and
alas, for astrology 1 were all un foretold
by this prince ot natiYity-castere.
Although Lillj was thus unsuccess-
ful in his peeps mto futurity, his books
are not altogether uninteresting. I
think some few facts may be collected
from them, which tend to show the
condition of the public mind and
feeling during the eventful years to
which these publications relate. Even
against the wishes of the writer, he
is coatinually exposing to view the
agitation, the feverish desire of change
which had taken possession of all
classes of people, and eventually pro-
duced the Restoration, and which in
all probability would have led the way
to some great national convulsion, even
supposing the opportune death of Crom-
well had not then occurred. The op-
pressed and burtheiied people were
evidently anxious for some other go-
vernment than that provided for them
by the celebrated " instrument of go-
vernment," and afterwards by " the
humble petition and advice."
Amongst many disquieting notions
then entertained, one which I learn
from Lilly's preface to his Almanac
for l657t p- ii* is not a little singular.
One thousand six hundred and fifty-six
complete years were calculated to have
intervened between the creation of the
world and the universal deluge, and it
was jtidged that something extraordi-
nary must neoessarilv distinguish the
conclusion of a similar period of \656
and this is the Muscovite. Nay, the
lost ten tribes of the Jews must in the
year l657 peep out of ]ndi«p • tern
incogniu, where, pitiful souls! they
never were. Some will have a very
new monarchy to be erected in l657f
Deo non volente, and these are drowv^
prophets, very good dreamen* &c.
'* Some would have one thing, some
another, nothing but miracles and pn^
digies are expected.'*
Another cause of disquietude was aa
apprehension of the plague, founded
upon a notion about as sensible as that
derived from the Deluge. That dcso>
lating distemper had appeared at the
commencement of the reigns of James
I. and Charles I. and it was therefore
considered that it must again Tisit the
nation at the commencement of Crom-
welKs dynasty. Lilly, whose business
it was ai this time to prophesy '* com-
fortable things," condescends to argoe
this matter, and assnres his reawre
that their fears are vain, for that he
knows " pregnant feasant in asiniogf*'
for the two former plagues— that toe
Protector received his power uqder
more propitious stars, and ** besides,**
he ados, *' he is of English blood, they
not so." Such cogent arguments coold
scarcely fail of producing conviction!
Minds that could be duped by astro-
logy— and such at that time constituted
the great bulk of mankind— might be
led to imagine that the horron of the
plague were but the just return of
tieaven to a people who had filled up
the measure of their iniquity by allow-
ing Scotchmen to reign over (hem.
In many parts of these Almanacs,
Lilly notices the sedulous endeavours
which were made not merely by the
Royalists, but even by the Protector's
old republican associates, to keep alive
the agiution of the times, and arouse
the people against Cromwell's Govern-
ment. Scarcely a month occurs with-
years, calculated from the birth of out some notice of the *' malicious in-
Christ. Uiion this fantastical foun-
dation, Lilly's astrolof^ical brethren
built a multitude of wonderful con-
jectures, all calculated to disquiet the
minds of the people. ** Some," he
says, " will have the downfall of the
Pope— /a/iety by them called Anti-
christ." " Others will have the day
of judgment steal upon mankind in
this VCMF 1657." " Some w\\\ \\vi\t
the jewnh nation convened \n \Vi\%
tendments*' against the person of the
Protector, and the peace of the coun-
try. This spirit was fomented by (he
Cler^, especially those of the Ana-
baptist persuasion, whose violence
a«rainst Cromwell causes them to come
in for a great share of Lilly's abuse.
In his predictions for 1657, he says of
them, *' Monsters these are in religious

althoagh enjoying all the benefit of
a government " in a single penon,
filled/* at Lilly remarks, " by the Al-
mighty for so j^reat a charge.'* Of
Lilly's aniicipations for the future, it
is really curious to observe the total
failure. The instance I am about lo
refer to, furnishes a striking proof how
little of the ' shadow of coming evenu*
was cast upon the mind of this would-
be prophet. In the Almanac for l658,
after declining to declare his thoughts
fully as to the number of years the
then present government would en-
dure, " it being,*' he says, " a subject
which would take up much lime, and
perhaps nothing pleasing unto the
times, or of sa^ty unto the author,"
he yet cannot forbear breaking the ice,
as he terms it, upon one particular.
He then refers to a former writing of
his, from which be draws a prophesy,
that " it shall continue in somewhat a
rigid posture, but in much majesty or
aosieriiv, until almost l663, at which
time all bitterness would be laid aside,
and matters ruled mildly." Ha?inj;
thus determined that it was to conti-
nue until *' almost l663,*' he poinu
out to those who wish to inquire fur-
ther, that at the time the present go-
vernment was established, Saturn,
Jupiter, and Mars, were the predomi-
nating planets; that 465, 428, and
364, are the numbers of years to which
those planets refer; that 582 years
was the period of the former dynasty,
from 1066 to 1 648; and that from a
consideration of these several quanti-
ties the number sought for was to be
obtained. Before the expiration of the
very year to which all this pompous
nonsense referred, the Protectoraie bad
crumbled to the dust, and the master-
spirit, which alone could preserve ii in
existence, had departed, to use the
words of Thurloe (vii. 373), •* to hea-
ven, embalmed with the tears of his
people, and upon the wings of the
prayers of the sain is."
I shall now copy the few MS. notes
in the Almanac for l657i to which I
before referred. The interleaving of
Almanacs, for the purpose of insert-
ing memoranda, is still, I believe, a
common custom. Mr. Ellis, in his
" Letters,** makes use of some similar
MS. notes, inserted by Sir William
Dugdale in an interleaved almanac,
still in existence. — (Vid. Ellis's Lci^
tcrs, 1st Series, vol. iii. p. 318.) From
the character and appearance of the
writing, as well at frons the matter
of these memoranda, I hare oo dcmbi
that they were written at the period to
which they refer. The book wan for-
merly in the poasession of the Ulc
W. S. Higgs, esq. and was |Hiichaaed
at the sale of his books by his grand-
son, Mr. J. Richards, of BLeadmg, who
presented it to me. Of the writer I
know nothing, more than it discloted
by these memoranda. I imagine, from
their contents, that he lived at Exeter.
His mother's name was Elizabeth. He
was married, had five children, a bro-
ther named Robert Yonge, and a cou-
sin Pole.

I'^HE glaring errors which pervade
. the genealogical accounts of many
families, not only in the book which,
I think, has been justly condemned
(I say nothing of its author), but in
many others, should be a caution to all
who are engaged in heraldic or histo-
rical studies and inveftigations, to be
extremely careful to guard against fall-
ing into mistakes upon such points.
It may be, in the minds of superficial
readers, of no importance whether^the
descent of this or that person be cor-
rectly or incorrectly traced, as to such
readers the relation of truth and the
inventions of fiincy are alike ; but per-
mit me to remark, that a constant habit
of minutely regarding facts is of very
great importance in a legal as well as
a moral sense: because the nep;lect of
it can never be productive of benefit,
hut may frequently lead to serious mis-
chief, great losses, and great disgrace ;
encourage ambition or avarice to set
up false claims, and assist the cunning
or the knavish in unjust ones. To
avoid errors of this nature, is therefore
80 important and so desirable, that no
pains can be too great to prevent their
admission into any works of reference,
or which from their nature, or the au-
thority attached to their authors, may
[▼OU c
of superior knowledge ; or even ibe
honest, and in itaeltUodable desimi
of literary fame or distinction, in the \
propagation of incorrect and false stlt^
ments respecting pedigrees. I bt*e'
been indnced to make these reflectioB
as introductory to a request, that sone
of your experienced and well-infornd
genealogical Correspondenu, will batt
the kindness to afford assistance toooe
who is desirous not to increase die
number of writers inwolved in the ceO'
sure above alluded to.
In the Pedigree of D*Aavers, u
delivered by Kimber and Bcthan,
there are some inexplicable discrepan-
cies, which it would be extremely de*
sirable to be able to correct, or pre-
cisely to distinguish, in order to arnid
a degree of embarrassing confbsioo, io
relation to the later descents of the se-
veral branches of that ancient family.
Kimber and Bridges (the Nortbaaip-
tonsbire historian) derive from the el-
dest son of Robert D*Anvers, wka
died 37 Edw. III., and Alke de
la Beche, William O'Anven (tjieir
grandson). Under Treasurer of Ed|-
land, and call the name of one of ha
sons Thomas. Kimber indeed (fd. L
p. 500) introduces him with the wofd
probably, but makes this Tbomas
marry Joan, daughter of WiUhm
Bruly, of Waterstock, co. Oxon. ; and
says that Sir William D*A overs, Jos-
tice of the Common Pleas, descended
from him. Betham calls chat judge
the son and heir of John^ not Thomas
D*A overs, and Jane^ not Joaoe, his
wife, and designates this Jakts as of
CoUhorpt CO. Berks ; stating that Jane,
the mother of the Judge, was hh A-
ther's second wife, not, 1 beliere, men-
tioning the name of hn fbrmcr wife,
which by Bridges, vol. i. p. t63, in a
tabular pedigree, is supplied bya daugh-
ter of Richard Quartermaine, of Rtcot,
Oxorr. from whom, according to the
same authority, descends Richard Dan-
vers, of Culworth, co. Northampton ;
so thai the said Richard was, according
to Bridges, son o{ Thomas Dangers, by
his first wife, and the Judse, his son,
by the second. But, according to Kim-
her, Richard Danvers, of Culworth
be resorted to by any inquirers, of (who is identified by his having mar-
whatsoever class or temper; nor are
any strictures too severe, within the
just limits which the laws permit, for
those who lend their assistance, from
whaisocvcr motive or cause — from cu-
pidity, from ignorance, from affectation
ried Elizabeth Langston, of a jBuck-
inghamshire family), was the son not
of Thomas, as stated both by himself
and Bridges, but of John Danvers, son
of another Richard, younger, brother
of that Robert, with whose name I

The most imporlant point perhaps
ihe descent of the co-heiresses of Sit
John Danvers, of Walerslock ; but it
is also desirable lo ascertain what place
ii intended by Colthorp, co. Berli, of
which I am not able lo discover any
traces in any topographical account of
Berkshire, lo which my small collec-
tion of buaks exiendi. The Pureys,
of Thatcham, in that counly, con-
nected with ihe family of Danvere, in-
termediately between ihe alliance with
Bruly and Hampden, have supplied u
coat, amongst the quarierings of Dan-
vers, on a monument at Stanford, but
this alTordi no clue to the discovery of
any previous connexion wilh Berk-
shire; Dnd the paucity of materials
which, afier many dili^jent researches,
I have been able to collect, for eluci-
. dating the biography of the QualeT'
mainti, not enabling me lo arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion. In regard lo ihc
marriage of ihe daughter or daughters
of Ricbird Qualermaine, leaves me in
ateat doubt on that part of the subject.
I must nol venture to coiycclare ihe
accidental omission of a descent, or the
misplacing of a name, by such indus-
trious and atieniite genealogists and
writers as those lo whom I am com-
pelled to resort for all ihc information
which I discover in print, on these
subjects, and in relation lo these parti-
culars; and I am quite dis|M]sed to
make due allowances for a vtry connioR
source of error, not very commonly
considered by modern writers — the
hasty adoption of MS. pedigrees ;
which, having been carelejsly com-
piled, and without design of publica-

same lime unsupported by allies, and
without cousideraiion abroad ; she
found the nation four miUions in debt,
her navy fallen to decay, and almost
abandoned ; and she was associated in
a war against the power of France and
Scotland.
The national anxiety on account of
the deplorable state of public affairs
was still further aoKmenied by the un-
certainty which existed rcs|)ecting her
Majesty's religious opinions, concern-
ing which the nation were not in |X>s-
session of sufficient proofs, to allay and
calm their fears upon this niokt im-
portant subject ; a consideration which
was most deeply impressed upon the
minds of all those who took a timely
interest in the successful progress of the
Reformation, and for the final estab-
Ibhment of the Protestant Church of
England, On this point the author
observes that,
'* The Queen's owd principles, it mast be
eonfesied, were at first liable to some doubts.
She had received the Mass in Mary's tirae,
and appeared attached to some of tne sym-
bols and other superstitions of the Church
of Rome ; ' coneeming the Cross, the
blesaed Virgin, and the Saints,' says Camden,
* she had no eoutemtoary opinion, nor ever
spoke of them bat with reverence, nor suf-
fered others to speak unreveieatly of them.'
This gave confidence to the RonMuaiits, and
hurried the Reformists into some excesses ;
but her prejudices soon underwent a cliange.
It was early after her accession that she for-
bade Oglethorpe to elevate the Host i and
though she might have confessed, as it is
aHeged of her, to the Spanish Ambassador
Count Teria, and the Lord Lamac, that she
acknowledged the real prtsmce in the Sacra-
ment; yet this cannot prove that she be-
lieved the Traasubsuntiation. The Church
of England, to this day, professes to believe
a real presence to the faithful, though cer-
tainly neither in the way of Transubtantia-
tion or Coosubstantiation, but only, as the
article states, ' after an heavenly and spiritual
manner ;* we are rather disposed to admire
the wise caution attributed to her when in
danger of erring upon this point, and yet
unwilling to speaik decisively she is said to
have replied to those who were sent by
Gardiner to inquire what she thought of
those words of Christ, <Thu is my body !'
' Christ was the word that spake it :
He took the bread and brake it;
And what the word did make it ;
That I believe and uke it/
•• There was much ingenuity in this,
whether tme or not; nor did she deviate
firoB it when she proposed some alterations
in Edward's Rubric should be made, that
might seem, as it were, to leave the precise
nature of the real presencse still undecided.
And, lastly, the Rubric that was added at
the end of the Communion Office, in the
second book of King Edward VI. against the
notion of our Lord s real and easential pn-
seuce in the Holy Sacrament, «aa left oat
in this : for it being the Queeu*a dwira, if
possible, to unite the nation in one frith, it
was therefore recommended to tlio Divines,
to see that there should be no dS^nttioft asade
gainst the aforesaid notion, bnt that it
should remain as a speculative opinioo not
determined, in which every one was left to
the freedom of hn owu mind.* In the first
year of the neat reign an addition vas nude
to the Catechism concerning the ■acraatat^
as it stands at this day."
Public disputations and confemicor
subsequently took place id the presence
of many of the Nobility and Commona
in Westminster Hall, and before the
Lord Keeper Bacon, as president, or
chairman, to keep order, which hef[in
on the 3lst of March, 1559. The Pa-
pists, however, would not sobnait to
the order enjoined, of deliTering their
sentiments in writing; and, indeed^
by other objections of a most frivolous
and capiious nature, plainly betrayed
the weakness of their cause. Samiders
informs us that some of them proposed
to excommunicaie the Qneen. While
and W^atson, being the most forward in
recommending the measure of excom-
munication, were committed to the
Tower ; but great pains were taken to
mitigate the severities of the punish-
ment, in consideration of the dignity
and character of the sufferers. These
important transactions are related with
great impartiality and candour, and are
constantly elucidated and eoolirmed
from the Popish writers and historians
themselves. After viewing the partial
statements of Dr. Lingard, it is only
just and reasonable that we should read
attentively the arguments of the learned
Protestant Advocate. Notwithsunding
the impediments purposely thrown in
the way of the Reformation by the
Popish party, the cause of Protestantism
constantly advanced. The new bishops
were all men of distinguished learning,
and as stich, were wisely called upon,
in the season of Lent, to preach the
sermons at P&ul's Cross, as well as at
Court ; and the effect of these sermons
was to rcrconcile great respect to the
new Religion (as it was called) and to
the persons of the Clergy. It would

" On tht 7th, har Majesty wis at St.
Mary's Church, where many public exercises
trere performed, and all the faculties ; the
Chancellor sitting next to tlie Queen's feet,
with a cloth and long velvet cushion before
him. It is remarkable, that upon this and
upon other occasions, the two Proctors of
tne University of Oxford were present in
their full academical dresses, sent for, as one
of them stated to the reporter of the pro-
ceedings there, by a special invitation from
the Chancellor Cecil, that they might be
upon the spot, to observe what passed at
Cambridge, in case the Queen should be
disposed also to visit the sister University.
Through the Chancellor's influence, they
received peculiar attentions from the whole
body, were seated next to the Cambridge
proctors at all the ceremonies, having two
of the Oxford bedells in attendance upon
them. Leicester was, indeed, Cliancellor of
Oxford ) but we liave authority for asserting
that the invitation originated entirely with
the Secretary, thereby rendering the com-
pliment to the sister University, and her
Chancellor, the more generous and delicate.
Wtien all things were ready for any public
exercise, and the Chancellor had explained
to the Queen the order of their proceedings,
he caused tlic proctors to be brought before
her Majesty, in order to receive from her
own mouth authority t# moderate and rule
the disputations^ which, upon their Icneeling
down to take her commands, she conveyM
to them in these words : — * Omnia fiant or-
dine.' Every bodv continued standing, un-
til the Queen, by the Chancellor, had
granted them permission to be seated.
Whenever the voices became inaudible to
the Queen, she would herself call out, ' Lo-
quamine altius.' On the evening of this
day, the 7th, her Majesty heard the tragedy
of Dido, in hexameter verse, performed by
the students of King's College only ; the
Chancellor Cecil, and Lord Robert, High
Steward, 'vouchsafing to hold the books.'
On the 9lh of August, the last day her Ma-
jesty passed in the University, she seems to
have vittited many colleges, * ridinff in state
royal,' the Chancellor and all the lords and
gentlemen ridinc before her, and her ladies
behind. At Kmg's College she received
from the Provost a book covered with red
velvet, containing all the verses upon her
Grace's coming. As her Grace rid through
the streets, she talked very much with divers
scholars in Latin ; and at her lighting off
her horse, with Latin dismissed them at St.
Mary's Church; in the afternoon uf the
same day she took her leave of the Univer-
sity in a Latin speech ; and at her conclu-
sion, when her auditors saluted her with
loud acclamations of ' Vivat Regina,' she
said, * Taceat Kegina,' wishing they were all
in the wny, io regard to her oration, to drink
the waun of Lethe."
A full narrative is given of the d»-
fisions caused by the conduct of Mary
after her confinement ; continual ploti
were set on foot, which were constantly
discovered and frustrated.
It clearly appears that there existed
a conspiracy aguinst England durins
the whole of the Pontificate of Pius v.
whose constant aim was to exterminate,
as soon as possible, all the Protestants
of Europe. Professor Walsh, of Got-
tingen, after s|>eakin^ of the horrid
principles Pius hud imbibed in the
schools of the Inquisition, and tena-
ciously followed when Pope, thus con-
cludes : " Ai length he died on the
last of May, 1572 ; Pope Clement VIII.
pronounced him blettedt and Clement
Xf. canonized him.*'
In the subsequent chapters the nar-
rative of the important events which
agitated this kingdom, is brought down
to the year 157«. During the whole of
this period Lord Burehley acted.a most
conspicuous part, and his name is con-
stantly connected with every circum-
stance that tended to confirm the sta-
bility of the Government, or the pros-
perity of his royal Mistress. We regret
that our confined limits prevent us from
taking a more extended view of those
important times; but we hope to be
able te resume the discussion more at
large upon the appearance of the con-
cluding volume. That this national
work, this xT>i/Lia U c^n, has appeared
at a most criiicii I juncture, is a truth as
notorious as the 8un*s existence; nor
will any reflecting man, endowed with
a reasonable understanding, \*enture to
gainsay the alarming position, that
Popery and Radicalism have long made,
pari gradu, and are now stiif making,
the most alarming strides throughout
the realm ; doctrines thus baneful,
therefore, must be withstood and grap-
pled with, combated and confuted, by
writers of sound discretion, possessing
alike the prowess and the power to en-
ter the field of literary contest, with
weapons of proof and temper, whetted
by consummate skill, tried by the test
of experience, and sanctioned by the
evidence of facts. A patriotic and en-
lightened champion, thus vigorous and
inured to exertion, the Protestant in-
terest, the liberties of mankind in ge-
neral, and the welfare of this country
in particular, have at last found in the
author of this argumentati%'e work, of
which the completion must be desired

leied such a fiery ordeal. If we go

thall find that the opposilion of the

ferred t(i the see anno 1 174, "granted
lo the ciiy of VVells a corpokatiok,
and many privileges, which they en-
joy to this day.'" — p, 108.
Bishops were also ambauadori ; and
our author records the fullowinz in-
stance of singularly successfal diplo-
macy. Bishop Fox nejinciated a mar-
riage between James IV. of Scoiland
and Maricafel, eldest daughter of Kins
Henry VH. upon which union our
author observes,
"Tbe •uccHsiun ofllw Iiniiie of Stuart,

tbrooe, it la be Trjrrred lo thii atlumer, ind
to the prudrace of Biihop Foi. in th> se-
goeLktioa of it."- — p. 305.
With regard lo these benefactions,
we arc to recollect that the State never
eonitibuied > single sixpence,— so far
from il, in the reign of Henry the
Eighth, by forming the lay impropria-
tions, ihe Monarch seized what was
not, nor could possibly be, his or the
Eublic properly. Nor can it honestly
ecome the property of dissidenis, be-
cause usurpers cjn have no righls, and
the donors never gave or intended it
for men who were not episeopally or-
dained, and c.nnnol therefore, accord-
ing to the direct tenor of the Gospel,
he considered ns any other than lay-
men, And as to a hierarchy, it i*
ira|unsible, when Christ established
his twelve apostles, and ^. Paul, as
>>.■;! .-IS the other ap'i-ilcs, were mani.
featly hicrorehs, to deny its apostolical
conslitutiun. Mr. C.issan has drawn
us into this discussion by remarks
which would have been more impres-
sive if they hud been less impassioned,
and bear upon livo obvious political
facts, which he does not see, vii. (|)
ihat the political intention of a Church
establishment is lo keep the spiritual
in subordination to the temporal power;
and IS) lhat the Church is supported
ifon of rent from land, iliai ihe'ownets
of that land gave for the specific pur-
pose of maintaining a body of men
rpiicopally ordiuned, and no otheri, lit
the support of ihe religion of the coun-
try. A difference of private opinion
concerning certain tests of the Bible,
and a Toleration allowing the public
declaration of those opinions, can con-
fer no title lo properly belonging to
others ; and as to the donations belni;
made in Catholic xrai, it. U T\a i«^v.\

land is only a refonDed not a noYel
Church. The princioles of the mo-
dern religion istty ana they have had
« fair trial (mentioned in our ivview
of Kotzebue*8 Trafels), imply nothing
more than an incessant repetition of
prayers, a retrogression of the arts of
civilization, and a domination of priest-
craft, inimical to the well-being of so-
ciety. We do not speak from any
persoual feeling, with regard to the
opinions of A, B, or C, concerning
their own interpretations of the Bible;
but from a sincere deprecation of the
mischief which they do, by assuming
g>litical qualifications. No native of
ngland will suppose that a man can
learn even to read and write, much
less be qualified for any trade or busi-
ness, by merely saying prayers; yet
this is the principle upon which they
act : as if Providence, oy the conform-
ation of man and his modes of sub-
sistence, had not shown it to be utterly
inconsistent with the divine intention
in the creation of a wise and intelli-
gent being. Praver is a rational thing
in all respects; ont had it been the
doty of man. Providence would have
made him like a musical instrument,
only vox ei preieren nihil, without
wants and passions. But we shall
now turn from folly to subjects of cu-
riosity.
Upon the tomb of William de la
Marchia, the Bishop who died in 1302,
is his effigy,
" Retting on a double cushion, support-
ed by angels, and at his feet is a cropped-
eared dog." — p. 154.
It was not unusual among the Pa-
gan ancients to crop the tails and ears
of dogs,* but the curiosity here is,
that m Petronius, Trimalchion, in
giving a design for his tomb, orders a
little dog to be placed at the foot of
his statue.f
Of hunting Bishops and their hounds,
recollections are trite ; but the motive
is little known. They made it a point
to extirpate the game, that the people
might not become poachers, and suf-
fer by so doing the punishment in-
flicted by foresters. The account of
the Canons of Wells, quoted by our
author from the Anglia Sacra, says,
that he. Bishop Ralph de Shrewsbury,
" Annuente Rege omnes feras dicUe fo-
restse venando destruxit; et sic violentia
• Enc/cl of Antiq. ii. 791.
f See Bnrmui. i. 489, c. 71.
fbfettariorum catsiivit, qui ipri eommoiiem
plebem tolebaBt iadiat oppfimtrt."
Mr. Cassan defines the words ''com-
mon people'* in our customary sense ;
but it he refers to Ducanse(v. P/e6f.),
he will find that this is bv no means
evident. The people might have, and
often had, certain common rights for
turning out cows, pigs, and other cat-
tle in chaces and forests ; and the fo-
resters might have made it a pretext,
that they aoused the privilege with re-
gard to the game.
It is certain, however, that this Bi-
shop did procure the de-afforestation of
certain manors, to prevent injury to
\he people; and that a Bishop in a
later period is mentioned in Dugdale's
Warwickshire, as having done a simi-
lar thing for the good o7 the poor, by
making a common of a nark.
Wells Leigh is a hamlet near Wells,
and Mr. Cassan says,
" Thb is the place from which the fa-
mily of Wblleslky (now so called) have
assumed their name, which formerly was
Wesley. Whether or not the arch-
•ch'ismatic Wesley was descended also from
the fiunily of De Wells Leigh, 1 am not
aware. TheDnke of Wellington of WelKag-
too, in the county of Sonemet, it Baraa
Douro of Wells-Leigh i and tha Marqueta
Wellesley sits as an English Peer, as Beran
Wellesley of « Wells Leigh in the coanty
of Somerset.'* — p. 168.
Now we find in the Peerages that
Dudley Colley had eight sons and
seven daughters. Of the latter, Eliza-
beth married Garret (e. g. Gerald)
Wesley of Dengan, co. Meath, which
Garret left a son of the same name,
who dying s. p. devised his real estate
to Richard Collet/, esq. and his heirs
male, provided they used the surname
and arms of Wesley, They did so;
and accordingly a Richard Colley, who
took the surname of Wesley, as heir
to his first cousin, was created a Peer
on July g, 1746; and Garret, son of
this Richard, was advanced on Oct. 6,
1760, to the dignity of Viscount
Wellesley of Dengan Castle, and Earl
of Mornington.
At the foot of the effigies of Bishop
Harewell are two hares, in allusion to
his name. — i. 178.

The celebrated Dean alluded to, from
that sledge-hammer of strong sense
which he wielded like a Herculei, is
Trinity, like a nail, inio the brains of
hisauditors; but, nevertheless, we do
not think his sermon so valuable as that
of Barrow on the same subject, because
ilie Dean's discourse ia written in a dry

Barrow's abounds with beauiiful ratio-

would not have excluded them from

must have been united with their

beauty of Chrisiianity, philosophically
descriMd by iu all-wise rounder as ca-
pable of cointnanding the lore of ene-
mies. Mr. Hughes says of Barrow,

— (i. 154.)
The Traveller justly says,
*< A religion which consists in the eter-
nal repetition of prescribed prayers, which
forbids erery innocent pleasurci and cnropt

on the Divine Founder of Chrittianity, the

They, the miitionaries, have even
extirpated the few useful arts which
these persons practised in their savage
eute.
<'The Tahaitiant of the pretent day
hardly know bow to plait their matt, main
their paper ttuffi, or cultivate a few roott.
They content themtelvet with the hread-
firuit, which the toil yieldi tpontaneoutly in

uced population. Their navy, which ex-
cited toe atton'ithment of Europeant, hat
entirely ditappeared. They build no vestelt
but a few little paltry caooet, with which
they fith off the neighbouring coral 'islands.
With the method of producing those com-
noctities of civilized nations, which they
prixe so highly, they are still at much aa
ever unacquainted. Tliey poMeu theep

remain have fallen into the potseuion of

hundred piastres was asked for an ox that
we wanted in provisioning the ship. The
island contains but one smith, though the
assistance of the forge and bellows would be
so useful in repairing the iron tools which
bava supersede those of stone formerly in
use. It is extraordinary, that even the fo-
reigners established here, carry on no kind
of mechanical trade.'*— i. 171.
The missionaries have taught the
natives a Utile reading, for the follow-
ing purpose, viz. of keeping their
houses on Sundays, and lying on their
hetliet, reading the Bible, and howling
aloud. — i. 150.
Furthermore,
"By order of the miationariei, the flute,
which once awakened innocent pleaaure, it
heard no more. Every pleature it punitbed
at a tin, among a peo|Je whom nature de-
ttined to the mott cheerful enjoyment." —
. 178.
The missionaries have taught the
Queen the following doclnne:
<<She atked me whether I wu • Chrlt-
tian ; and how often I taid my pnyert daily •
Thit lait quettion afforded ma an opporCn-
nity, hsd I thought fit, to give her Majesty
tome new ideat on the tubject of the mis-
tionary religion ; but I did not feel mytelf
quite capable of entering into a theological
dispute, and therefore merely replied, that
we should be judged according to our ac-
tions, rather than the number of onr
prayert."^i. 183.
But not only have the missionaries
•neglected to civilize the people, lest, as
Capt. Kotzebue says, they should lose
their influence and power, but they
have also disregarded the common dic-
tates of humanity. The poor savages
are kept without aid, under diseases of
easy cure, and die in great numbcn
for want of medical assistance.
"The miMionariet, who only detiie to
govern their mindt, have never yet troubled
themselves to establish any inttitution fiir
the health of the body."—!. S5G.
From this conduct it is evident that
the Societies which support such per-
sons, deem an ability to read the Bible
sufficient oualificatiun for the govern-
ment and legislation of agnation ; and
that if society is arranged upon the
plans of English sectaries, the ne pbu
ultra of human perfection is acquired.
All this folly emanates from Bnsland
in the nineteenih century. Wdlmay
foreigners laugh at us !
Now were there opposing tocieties,
who would send out educated minis-
ters of the Establishment, with a suit-
able accompaniment of labourers, me-
chanics, and rational teachers, instead
of these charlatans, in what a different
slate would society have been ; for,
says our author, concerning ujudicioiis
missionary,
"Had the King of the Sandwich Itlandt
accorded hit protection to such a reformer
as Stewart, the Sandwich Islanders might
by this time have acquired the respect of
all other nations, instead of retrograding in
the arts of civilization, and assuming under
compulsion tlie hypocritical appearance of
an affected devotion." — ii. 959.
The Spaniards in California enslave
the natives ; but the Russian inhabit-
ants of Ross
" Live in the greatest concord with the
Indians, who repair in considerable numbws
to the fortress, and work as day labourers
for wtget. At night they tuually remain
outside the pallisades.'*— ii. 1S4.
Thus the most amicable intercourse
prevails.

we affect to be, though without pre-

there is a piety which is happiness.
Milton*s devil was a hero, stooping to
become a swindler; but the only real
devil, we mean it as the only person
who maintained the character in dig-
nity (and we speak of course merely in
reference to his poetry and genius),
was Byron. Moore, Anacreon depu-
.ratedy who could fill the earth with
loversy and make even old people ridi-
cttlous by his intoxicating sweetness,

our author; whose poetry is character-

THERE is a florid manner in this

but it may be accordant with foreign
pulpit eloquence. We shall extract
curions facts :
« The detcendentf of the old Samaritans
are to be found at the present time in Pa-
lestine, at Naplons (the ancient Neapolis or
Sidtem], between mount Ebai and mount
Oerisim. They form a miserable tribe of
about thirty ftmilies, or two hundred wmU.

In p. log M. Cellerier quotca L^
tronne concerning the 2^iacs of
Tentyra and Esric. He saya»
« It is proved, indisputably, « three or
Ibnr different wave, that these two tsmum
sodiaet, nnworthy of the eelabrily they
have acquired, as well as the edifice*, npoa
the ceilings of which they were painted,
were oi Mer date than tfaie Una at Jemis
Christ."
This may be very true concernii^
these |>articnlar zodiacs, because they
might be only copies of mere ancient
Indian archetypes. (See Fosbtoke's
Foreign Topography, p. g«.) Surely
no such recent date can be aacribed to
the astronomical tables of Elorah.
^ M. Celletier adds, npon the aotho-
rity of Chainpollion, *< that those mo*
numents of Egypt which were of real
antiquity, did not exist prior to the
Pharoahs of Exodus or of Gencsia.''-*
p. 110.
How are we to reconcile this with
the Obelisks, the name of Oetomaseii,
&c. which are atated, according to x
quoution in the Foreign Review, lo
beanterior tothe very time of Abraham?
<* According to Champoflion (Lettre ii.
k M. de Blans, p. 189) the most anciens
monument now existing in Egypt, and
capable of being refer red to a determinate
epoch, b a portion of an edifiee bnilt by
Osymandyas, and afterwards inooiponted
with the palaee of Karnae, began by Ame-
nophis, after the expulsion of she ahepheid
Kings. Osymandyas reined about iSOO or
2S72B.C. The visit of Abmham to Egypt
is commonly placed in the year 1990 B. C«"

Now Sir William Drummond will
not allow aiw credit to be due to the
dynasties of Manetho here quoted.
(See Origines, vol. ii. c. I«.) He says,
p. 476, that Peuvius vainly attempted
to overcome the difficulties atUched to
the chronology of Egypt ; and in p.
479, he adds, •' ihatTie sees nothing
which even approaches to certainty ^
previous to the reign of Psammetichus
the First." That reign is usually as-
cribed to the year 665 B. C thirteen

with such pecoliir reading, that no
person, unless a traveller in the same
road, is qualified to give an opinion.
•We shall therefore, as far as we know,
ttaie the ground of the controversy.
The Germans account for the super-
natural paru of Christianity by natural
phenomena, as if the action of a thing
necessarily explained the process : as it
the simple circumstance of a fellow's
being hanged, always implied for what
•crime he was hanged. Alas! it is too
true, that
« The haUt of defending abttrsct points
as a main dutv, hit an obvious tendency to
turn the miud from the mora practical parts
of Christianity i to make raKgioo a OMtter of
- speculation, rather than of practical interest
-—an occupation of the intellect, rather than
of the heart." — p. S69.
This superinduction upon theology
occasioned the trash of the Dialecti-
cians ; but it is known to philosophers,
that he who takes an interest in any
thing, must hare a definite ?iew of it;
and that he who professes an indif-
ference to all exclusive systems, cannot
possibly feel a real concern about the
thing itself. His concern can only be
resolvable into a secondary or distinct
object. He cannot be single-minded.
Toleration cannot be a matter of voli-
tion, only of necessity.
Ecclesiastical history consists of hos-
pital lectures, relative to intellectual
disease. Well does the learned Herder
say, in p. 137i
'* Ordinary Eccletiattical History often
forgets religion, and theology, and scientific
knowledge. It is for ever tracing mere
learning and doctrinal systems : adds at most
the ceremonies or the government of the
Church, and then is completed ! Prevail-
ing manners, the influence of religion upon
events, upon society, even in errors and
heresies, it often forgets." — p. 137.
Now this is the object which, if po-
lemics are to be conducted upon public
principles, we think that they ought
ever to consult, viz. the effects of parti-
cular doctrines upon the good of society,
political and civil. fVe claim credit
for having so acted, in reference to
Popery and Evan^licism. Neither
are reconcilable with public good,
when assayed by history.
Mr. Pusev's book is, as might be
expected, a learned and able one.

THIS Introductory School Lexicon
promises to be as useful to the tyro in

the Latin tongue. From the expe-
rience of Mr. Hincks as a teacher for
nearl)r 40 years, we doubt not his qua-
lification for the task. He has in this
work thrown the common lexicons
aside; and selected the words from
JEschines, ^schylus, Aristotle, De-
mosthenes, Euripides, Homer, Longi-
nus, Lucian, Sophocles, Xenophon,
and the New Testament. These au-

self-evident.
Ohservationt on the Changes ^ihe Currmcym
By Edw. Prichard, Btq.
CHANGES in the Currency affect
the uavi^ption of business, as changes
in the wind do that of the ocean ; and
in both it is desirable to raise the wind,
and if possible to get into a regular
trade one. We have, however, said
already so much upon the subject,
that we shall make only one more ob-
servation. It is that the following re-
mark of Capt. Andrews, in his Travels
to South America, shows that the
country bankers were most unjustly
aspersed in the year 1826. Capt. A.
states, that the reduction of ooe spe-
cies of stock in the year 1824, together
with the apprehension of stockholders ,
in general, that every description of
the public securities would share the
same fate, carried an overwhelming
Quantity of unemployed wealth into
the market. Joint stock companies
now sprang up in the natural anxiety
to fina new and profitable modes of
investment, and many of these were of
the most novel and absurd character.
Mr. Prichard, who is a partner in
the Old Batik, Ross, Herefordshire,
says, therefore, very truly,
<* The oaantity, not the quality of the
abuse which was levelled against the coun-
try bankers some years ago, hat lefb a stain

7^ PuipU,
THE glory and welUbeing of a nt-
tion consist in its seienccy warlike
power, liberty, laws, wealth, aru, ina-
nufactures, and agriculture; and as
from commoo sense boys who are mis-
chievous must be flogged, we shall
lend no sanction to irrational derotees
who are struggling to make these na-
tional benefits of little worth, com-
pared with a troublesome and factious
priesthood, the tery sort of priesthood
which Adam Smith condemns in the
ttrongett terms. To assist an innova-
tion, which, if successful, would ele-
vate the spiritual abo%'e the temporal
power, ana do other political mischief,
IS the object of the work before us.
Instead of giving us sermons worth
publication, such as those oi Sherlock,
Alison, &c. it edites, geotrally speak-
ing, perfect nullities 9$ W literary cha-
racter, sermons wbMl in reality are
only lovfr>letters ^Mrassed to our Holy
Saviour, grossly Uopare in language
and sentimentp •od nymns construct-
ed in the nipDiwr of amatory songs.
Both a semipo and a song (for such it
11) of the diicription alluded to, occur
in the wqifc before us.
We iball uke the opportunity of
making some observations concerning
this fathion of the day, because it is
connected with political evil. It is
aaid that there is a great numerical su-
periprity of sectaries over churchmen.
Adffiitted : but so there are of the poor
ovfr the rich, and yet it cannot be en-
dured that they should outvote even
a. parochial vestry. But how is this
iipmerical superiority acquired? Ac'
0$rding iojacit, in manner following.
The sovereign, nobility, gentry, bank-
•rs, merchants, commercial esqoires,
officers, and professional men, are with
very rare exceptions churchmen; so
are also landlords, and the mass of
farmers, who pay large tithes. But on
the other hand, they whose prooerty
in the State is comparatively iriAing,
retail shopkeepers and humble dealen
and chapmen, who live for the most
part from hand to mouth, acquire
worldly consequence and custom by
supporting as many congregations, dis-
tinct or alienated 10 feeling from the
Established Church, as they can, not
from doctrine, which they care little
about, but for the sake of customers,
and from morbid feeling ; because, if
they attend church, they are not ele-
^Mted abort the nobUily aud g.tn\T^.
In cities and towns the roaaa of the
population cotisisti in such persona,
their workmen, and servaAts.^ Theae
latter many of them would dischaise,
if they expended a penny at a churcli-
man'a shop. Besicics, they are in gie*
neral |K)litical malcontents, who deem
their superiors, although they live upon
their private property, public eheata
and oppressors ; and because each gen-
tlemen live uulike puritans (the very
mode of living by which they derive
their own maintenance), they hold
them certain of eternal condemnation.
—Thus it is that they are ignorant of
the grand interests of society, and of
course of their own included, and
forming the chief portion of an Eng-
lish population, easily aotjuire a nume-
rical superiority. This aeqonition
grows out of the toleration of the Pro-
tesunt Church (let the conduct of iia
Clergy be as correct as possible) ; for
in Iraand their numbers are very few,
because most of the retailers andT chap*
men there are themselves Catholics.
In short, there can be no doubt but
that the class of persons alluded to are
in the main the agitators and patrons of
our political and eccletiastieal iiwtiooa.
All the other classes have a direct inte-
rest in the Sute. Now to the work
before us.
No. VIII. of the Pulpit contains
two sermons and a tong (mtsnomered^
a hymn), none of which, in point of
fact, have literary merit suflBcient to
vindicate publication. The fint ser-
mon is that of Mr. Dale, « Professor
in the London University, and who,
from regard to his own just reputation,
ought not to have permitted its appear-
ance in print. It is declamatory, and
purposely divested of argument, that
(as we presume) it might be fitted to
the taste of auditors who could not ap-
preciate literary merit. — The second
consists of that fanatical raving, which
in print may be called, not the wine,
but the gin of literature.— The third
is an extract from a sermon by Mr.
Irving. Though Mr. Irvine's manner
is too theatrical for us, still he is an
eagle, a real man of genius. He is no
magpie echoist, — he is immeasorabW.
above those who even reach the ranx
of parrots. In him there is no sneak-
ing to mob principles for popularity,—
no pot-house declamation for ascend-
ancy. He nobly flies in the faces of
such seditionists, with hrs powerful
Vi^^k 9ind talons, and thus does not act

WE have been much amused with
ihis novel, the gist of which is lo
guard the unsuspecting against gentle-
men swindlers. An Irish Baronet and
a friend, full, as Mr. Bernard »ayt,
" of all those generous, sociable, and
whimsical essentials, that go to con-
stitute the firmest friends and the
drollest companions*' of the gentle-
men of the sister country, go to Pari*,
and conceive it utterly impossible, like
Moses in the Vicar of Waketielcl,
that they should be taken in. Never-
theless they are so, purely from ge-
nerous feeling and ignorance of the
world. Ignorance^ we may say, equal
[yol. c/
to childish inexperience ; for, eveo i
youth of eighteen ought to know, that
whenever an acquaintance wishes to
establish intimacy up to bommfng
money, and proposes pecuniarr ^^
ings, or gaming transactions, he hn
designs, concerning which it is reij
necessary to be cold-heartedly can*
tious. These sagacious gentlemen were
accordingly entrapped to a most pitiable
degree, not only in regard to monej,
and occasional scrapes, but to beiif
saddled with bad wives. Now this
book has a moral ; and wherever oofcls
have such an object they do good, be-
cause they are sure to be read with
avidity, and, of course, to make im-
pression. The story is well told.

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.
Literature op British India.*
Literature in India is to Europeans an ex-
otic. It wants nearly all the conditions
which make it thrive in the West. It is not
surprising, therefore, that it should rear its
bead but languidly, and that it should but
partially and imperfectly flourish. la the
first place, we have in India few such per*
■onages as loeo of lettera — men who convert
their abilities &nd acquirements into means
of subsistence, or who, in familiar phrase-
ology, live by their wits. We have no un-
productive labourers in our community:
every one has his place, his daily task, from
which, if he cannot expect fortune, he is
sure of support. One great stimulus to ul-
terior exertion is therefore wanting, and aa
Uleot is proverbially indolent, it rests satis-
fied with its appointed duty, and shrinks
from the efforts to which it is not compelled.
In the second placci a still more powerful
excitement than even money — Fame— 'is
wanting; not perhaps the fame that never
dies, but the nune that lives, that oniukates
and rewards contemporary merit. Writers in
India must expect little attention from their
countrymen at home, and less from the
companions of their expatriation.
There were many men in ludia of literary
propensities, bcfote the foundation of the
Asiatic Society ; but they were too busy to
indulge them. When they did wield their
pens, it was to vindicate the meaMires they
bad adtipted for the safety or extensitm of
the British power in the East, or to narrate
the important events which they had wit-
nessed, and of which they were a part. Such
were the writings of Verelst* vansiturt,
Hastings, and Orme. That the two latter
♦ Abstracted firom the Bengal Anmud,

attract universal attention, or to •oaore the
gratitude of posterity. This paucity of ori-
ginal compositi(»o, especially in plaUi prose,
IS scarcely to be explained by the want of lo-
cal patronage i and it is remarkabie eooasi^,
that not even a slight fabric at fiecsoa aftooM
have been reared by an ladiaa arehitect.
Some things of the kind are ■jaawfcetnred
in England occasionallv, but they are be-
neath contempt. We have had Jonraelt of
Travels, of very various merit* in soffidont
abundance, but they can scarcely be classed
with productions purely literary ; aod when
got up in Ix>ndon, it is not always oertain
who the author may be. We have bed aho
historical compositions, although raetatij
but few ; but they are usually of a restricto
purpose, being limited to some iadmdoil
state, and no liistory on an expaodod
comprehensive plan has yet been
in India. In searching, therefore, for
of local celebrity, we must recur to the Uaii
of the Asiatic Society, ta which thej wM
mostly be found enrolled.

in the present state of science, ever thinic of
resorting to so cumbrous a mode of asstst-
anoe, amidst the numerous helps that are af-
forded by more accurate and elegant tables.
Soon after this, it was proposed to
bring the subject before Parliament ; and
▼arious papers were movetl for and printed
by the House of Commons, with thu view :
but, from an assurance that Government
was about to take up the subject, the matter
was then dropped. During the last sum-
mer, however, tne Board of Admiralty (with
whom the management of the Nautical Al-
manac now resta, by virtue of a recent Act
of Parliament) sent an official communica-
tion to the Astronomical Society of London,
requesting their opinion and aidvice, at to
the alterations and additions that it would
be proper to make in that national work.
The Council commenced their operations
by nominating a Committee, consisting of
forty members, comprising not only some of
the most profound mathematicians, bat also
most of the experienced practical aitrono-
mers and nautical men of science in the
'country, as well as the Professors from the
naval establishmenta at Greenwich and
Portamouth. This Committee having met,
proceeded to examine and discuss seriatim
the various parte into which the Nautical
Almanac is divided ; and having agreed on
certain preliminary arrangements, appointed
a Sub-Committee to examine them more in
detail, as well as to examine and digest the
various hints and suggestions which had
heen forwarded to them, not only by mem-
bers of their own body, who were unable to
attend the meetings, but likewise by other
correspondeote relative to this subject. The
Sub-Committee having made a report of
their labours, it was ordered to be printed ;
and a copy of the same (together with a
specimen of the printed pages of the new
idmansc) having been forwarded to each
member of the Committee, a distant day was
appoioted for taking it into consideration ;
by which means every opportunity and fkc'i-
lity have been afforded for the most ample
and open discussion of the several pointa in
question. The final result of their deli-
berations is contained in a Report, which
has been forwarded to the Admiralty ; and
we have the satisfaction of stating, that
nearly the lost act of the late Board was the
approval of that Re|>ort, and the issuing of
an order for its being carried into immediate

The places of the she priacipel pleoeta are

four new plaaeta for every fiurtk day : with
an ephemeris of the latter, for eoery day, toe
one month before and after their oppositioD.
The co-efficlenta A, B, C, D, which are
used for compntinc the apparent placea of
the stars, are to be given for every day.
The apparent contacts of Jupiter's satellites^
and also of their shadows, with the plaaet,
are to be inserted. The lunar distaacM of
thejflanets are also to be inserted : with the
proportional hforithm of the 6rst dKEneece
annexed to all the lunar diatancea. Pre-
dicted occultations (v'laible at Greenwich)
of planets and fixed start, to the JUtA mag-
nitude inclusive, are to be given : and alao»

the fixed stars are to be increased to 100 in
number : « and i Ursm Minoris are to be
given for every day ; and the remainder for
every tenth day as usual, but with the diffe-
rences annexed. The list of rooon-cnlmi-
nating stars is to be incorporated with the
work : and various tables added for facili-
tating the computations connected with this
interesting and useful branch of practical
astronomy.
It appears that an interral of two or three
years must necessarily eUpse before these
imprnveroeDta can be completely carried
into effect. The Nautical Almanac for 1 833
is already computed, and nearly ready for
publication, so that the proposed alteretions
cannot take place until the year 1834.
Wiih a view of insuring a greater degree
of accuracy in the computations, and as a
means of detecting any errors, the Council
have recommended that, in the Preface to
each year's almanac, there be inserted an
account of all the talles and authorities de-
pended upon in every computation, with an
express notice of such equations as may be
omitted, or of any corrections introduced.
And they have also recommended that no-
tice of any terrors should be advertised in the
Atilu.

Horology.
Dec. 90. At the AthcMeura Society of
Bristol, Mr. E. Jones commenced a series
of lectures on Horology. After briefly re-
capitulating the Tarious methods pursued
by the ancients, of computing time and
subdividing the years, he proceeded to sUU^
that the first measure of time was by cltp'
s^ra^ or water-clocks, and tabtiers, or
sand-glasses. The Romans used both clep-
sydra and sundials ; of the former Phavori-
nus says, it was a vessel having a little hole
in the bottom, which was set m the courts
of judicature, full of water, \vj which the
lawyers pleaded; this, he aims, was to
'* prevent babbling, that tueh as 'F^
should be brief In their speeches." The
first dial employed at Rome was set up near
the temple of Quiriaos, by P^pirioa Cunur,
the Roman general, 993 B.C.: it soon be-
came a great favourite with the Roman
people. The invention of clocks had been
attnbuted to Archimedes and Pouidonius,
before the Christian era t toBnethius in the
6th century ; Pacificus about the middle of
the 9th I Oerbert at the end of the 10th ;
Wallincfbrd at the beginning, and Dondi at
iht end of the 14th { but, upon close esa-
aioation, the Lecturer said lie had found
the machines of all except the two last, not
to be entitled to the name of clock, being
nothing more than varieties of the clepsy-
dra, &c. It is certain the Roman Cathnlic
Clergy were not acquainted with clocks in
HOB, ** because the Sacristan of the Mo-
nasteiy of Cluny went out to observe the
stars, to know tne time when to awaken the
Monks to prayers.*'
There is no doubt but Dondi invented
some Horological machine, as his fiunily
bear the name of Horologio to this day.
This was in IS50. But Wallingford w|m an
Englishman, an abbot of St* Alban*s s and
according to the testimony of Gesner he
constructed a clock in 1386, which was the
wonder of the age, as it shewed the motion
pf the heavenly bodies, &c. x this appears
to have been something of the nature of our
orreries. But there seems to be no certainty
amongst writers till the history arrives at
the time of Henry de Vick, in the latter
part of the 14th century, or in 1370, by
whom a clock was constructed for Charles
the Fifth, for one of the towers of the palais
in Paris, where it still remains. This de
Vick was sent for from Germany by the
King { and thus clocks are said to nave been
invented in Germany. Mr. Jones, however,
claims for Great Britain the hoociur of the
iaveatioD ol clocks. *< I have bafuta mea-
tiooed M clock," aaid he, ** coostrucied h^

Richard of Wa]liagfi>rd» which anrpaseed
every thing of the kind then aaietui^, for it
shewed the course of the sunt mooat and
stars, and the rise and fall of the tides. Var
rious circumstances lead me to oonclode
that this was a weight clock ; o«e in narti-
cular 1 would point out to yout ▼ia. tnat it
vras still in use in the tioM of Lelaad, who
wrote about 1540, 150 years afier weight-
clocks were coounoaly employed. Tliis
would hardly have been the caae if it had
been a water-clock, as theae were much b-
fisrior in accuracy to weight- clocks. It b
not surprising that this eircumatance has
been overlooked bv those who have entered
into the history of Horology. Vick's clod[
is still existing in a public situation in Paris,
and the only writers on the subject ate
French; and though I do not think that
they would distort Uie truth to remove the
palm from us, yet was there a doubt whether
the invention originated in England or Ger-
many, I believe that they would give the
preference to the latter, particolariy when
the best work on the siBh)ect was written*
which was in the year 1809 1 nor do I tliink
that we ought to consider the foct of Charlea

Germany, any proof that there wen none in
Engkmd at that time, as the two nations
ware then at war. And as all that I can find
on the history of Horology is written hf
French authors, or copied firom them into
English, I am not disposed to give op mj
eiint, because no one else has taken it op.
ut I have a far stronger and mora incon-
ttstible proof than this : — There is w the
Cathedral at fTells, at tkU time, a clock
which was removed from the Abbey of
Glastonbury, where it was constructed by a
Monk of the name of Peter Lightfoot, in
the year 1395. This clock also shows the
changes of the moon, and other astronomical
phenomena. Here then are two clocks, of
the most complicated description, known to
have been constructed in England nearljr
fifty years before we hear of the plain sort ot
clock made by de Vick; and as these were
constructed by meu livins in very distant
parts of the kingdom, I tmnk we may ven-
ture to assert, that weight-clocks must have
been known in England even before this
time. I am borne out in this supposition
by another historical foct. Tliere exuted
in Westminster, till the beginning of the
last century, an ancient tower, oslled the
clock-house, in which a clock is stated to
have been placed by Edward I. in the year
1988. Now I do not think that this could
have been any other than a weiffht-clock,
from the fiict of iu having been ^aced in a
high tower, these machines requiring room
for the foil of the weighu, while tlie clep-
sydra did not. Besides, I have the same rea-
son fur concluding this to be a weight dock*
as I had for supposing Wallingford's to he

HISTORICAL CHRONICLE.
FOREIGN NEWS.
FRANCE.
We have already mentioned tbe rigor-
OQt effort! of tbe Kin^, Lafayette, and
tbe youtbi of tbe public fcbooU» for tbe
preierration of public order after tbe
sentence of tbe ex-Miuiftera bad been
pronounced. The critit evidently was
one of tbe most imminent ; and the na-
tion narrowly escaped from the vortex
of a fresh revolution, fomented, as it ap-
pears, by the conjoint operations of tbe
adherents of the ex-Kinfc, the friends of
Napoleon, and tbe advocates of a Re-
public, who endeavoured to goad tbe
irritated feelings of the populace against
tbe ex-Ministers into an insurrection
against King Philippe, the Chambers^
and tbe Ministry. There were circum-
stances, however, connected with these
transactions, which are far from augur-
ing favourably for tbe continuance of
the quiet and tranquillity of Paris and
of France. It appears, that when tbe
students, at a general meeting, decided
to aid the Government, and thus secured
a favourable result to tbe agitation that
prevailed, they issued two addresses, one
with tbe leave and by the authority of
tbe Prefect of the Seine, M. Odillon
Barrot,and another which was placarded
un their own responsibility alone. Tbe
latter declared to tbe mob, as a motive
for tbeir dispersion, that tbe King, Ge-
neral Lafayette y M. Odillon Birrot, and
Dupont de 1* Eure, had engaged to make
important concessions to liberty, if the
peace of tbe capital were protected, and
the apprehended crisis averted. This
the Ministers denied in tbe Chambers,
and stated that tbo&e who illegally pub-
lished this declaration, should be pu-
nished for an infraction of the laws;
adding, also, that the address in ques-
tion was not acknowledged by ihe mass
of the students, to whom M. Lafiite pro-
posed a vote of thanks, which was passed
unanimously. The students, however,
on the following day, met in immense
numbers ;— refused to accept the vote of
thanks ;— declared that the publication
complained of, was their address, and
approved of by them ; — and, in strong
language, complained that every citi-
zen was not represented, and that it was
in vain that they sought France in the
Chamber of Deputies, although five
months had elapsed since the Revolution
of July, when a popular throne and re-
publican institutions were promised to
tbem. This ^tate of things excited a.
fresb ferment, which wa^ beighUuedb^
the resignation of Lafayette, as Com*-
mander-in-Cbief of the National Guards
It seems that the Chamber of Deputiet
bad voted that oAce to be oseleaft.
Whether this bad offended tbe General,
or whether be is displeased with tbe
conduct of tbe King, or the Ministertt
did not appear. The Kinf^ strongly
pressed bim to withdraw bia reaignatioo^
but in vain; and General Lobau was
appointed in his stead. Several of tbe
students were put under arrest, by order
of the Minister of War.
On tbe evening of the 39th of Decem-
ber, theex-Minislen were removed from
Vincennes to the castle of Ham, in the
department of the Somme, about eighty-
four miles N. E. of Paris, wbicb, since
the revolution, has been used as a state
prison. Polignac is to be confined in
the castle of Mount St. Michel, at tbe
southern extremity of the ancient pro-
vince of Normandy. It lies in the midst
of extensive sands, which are covered by
I be sea at spring t ides. The approach to
it from the continent being very danger-
ous, it is necessary to take guides at Ar-
devon. Its ancient name is said to have
been Belenus, when it was inhabited by
Druidesses. After the abolition of the
Druids, it took the name uf Mons Jovis,
to which was substituted that of Tumba,
when a monastery was erected upon it.
In 708 Bishop Auber raised upon it a
church, which he dedicated to St. Michel.
The original rock, which is of granite,
was reduced to 180 feet, in order to ob-
tain sufficient room for the building.
The circumference of the rock at tbe
base is a little above half a mile. Tbe
height, including the turret over the
tower, is equal to that of St. Paul's. It
is surrounded on almost every side with
lofty walls, flanked with towers. Tbe
north and west sides are nearly perpen-
dicular. Tbe south side is inhabited.
The population may amount to three
hundred souls. The houses are, as it
were, on the top of each other. The
ascent to the abbey is by winding stairs.
The abbey is strongly protected by
towers and strong gateways. Since tbe
revolution it has been used as a depart-
mental prison for convicts, of which
there are now from 700 to 800. — (See a
view of this singular rock in our voU

AMERICA.
The American Preiident's speech, de-
livered OH the opening of Coiigreity it
on the whole very tatisfaotory, as regards
the character of its general policy, and
the comoiercial interests of Great Bri-
tain. It fully notices the arrangements
which have been made with the English
Cabinet, in relation to the trade between
the United States and our own West
Indian and North American Colonies^
which promise the most favourable re-
sults to both parties. The President
addSy these negociations have been from
flrtt to last characterized by the most
frank and friendly spirit on the part of
England, and concluded in a manner
strongly indicative of her sincere desire
to cultivate the most amicable relations
with the United States. After a vast
outpouring of transatlantic boasting
about '* Free Institutions'* and ** Abori-
ginal Rights," the President proceeds to
felicitate his fellow citisens on the pros-
perity of the United States, and on the
rapid extermination of the original pro-
prietors of the soil. Two important
tribesy the Choctaw and Chickasaw In-
dians, have, it seems, *' accepted the
provision made for their removal ;" that
is to say, have allowed themselves to be
driven beyond the Mississippi River, in
order to aggrandise the teriitory of their
oppressors. *• Humanity," says the Pre-
sident, *' has often wflpt over the late ol
the aborigines of this country, and phi-
lanthropy has been long buaily employed
in devising means to avert it; but its
progress has never for a moment been
arrested, and, one by one, have many
powerful tribes disappeared from the
earth. To follow to the grave the last
of his race, and to tread on the gravea
of extinct nations, excites melancholy
reflections; but true philanthropy re-
conciles the mind to these vicisaitodes»
as it does to the extinction of one gene-
ration to make room for another. In
the monuments and fortresses of an on-
known«)ieople, spread over the extensive
regions of the West, we behold the me-
morials of a onoe-poweKul race, wbicW
was exterminated, or has disappeared,
to make room fur the esbting savage
tribes."
AFRICA.
In Algiers, the success of the Freneh
arms ha* entirely subjugated the B^y of
Titeri. The troops of the bey, under
the chief aga, were encountered and
totally routed by Count Clauscl on the
SSd November. The bey was to make
his public submission on the 23d.
COLOMBIA.
Advices from Cartbagena announce
a new revolution in Colombiay and the
appointment of Bolivar as President.
His partisans, it seems, took possession
of Bogota on the 28th of August, after
a battle, in which the troops of the then
acting government were drfeated, with
the loss of 92 officers and SI8 men killed
and wounded, and 40 oflficers and 533
men prisoners.
DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.
IRELAND.
In Ireland O'Connell is exerting him-
self to keep up and increase the spirit
of agitation and anti-Union. A meet-
ing of the Trades, from distant counties,
for the purpose of presenting an address
to him in Dublin, was advertised fur the
S6tb Dec. when 150,000 persons were
expected to be present ; but the Mar-
quess of Anglesea, by issuing a procla-
mation forbidding the meeting, caused
It to be put off, and brought down upon
himself the ire of Mr. OXonnell, who
counsels the populace to keep the peace,
while the whole spirit of his speeches is
directed to excite their animosity against
tbff^ Government. Insidious let^tences
fp Frapce apd Belgium} 9ioA advk^ lo
the exasperated peasantry to form asso-
ciations for petitioning, more than out-
weigh the hypocritical exhortations to
peace. Already is the feeling of insecu-
rity so strong, that few capitalists will
advance money on Irish landed pro-
perty. Absentees are oflTering their es-
tates for sale, trade is at a stand, and
every thing portends an approaching
convulsion. Hordes of savages, insti-
gated or headed by priests and " agita-
tors," have perpetrated the most ap-
palling cruelties, regardless of age, sex,
or station. Captain Rock and his fol-
lowers are becoming very active in Ros-
common, and almost every night the

Ad^ii<ms to Obituary, — General Bill of Mortality, [vol. c.
with the exception of a pecunUrj remem-
brance to hit other brother, Charles Hus-
k'lMon, esq. and a few trifling legacies, is
left to Mrs. Huskisson. This includes his
beautiful and favourite vilU at EartLam.
The codicil, which he executed iuiroediatrly
afier the fatal accident which deprived the
country of his invaluable services, merely
secures to his widow any property acquired
by him since the execution of his will, which
is dated in 1827. His signature to it is»
considering the circumstances under which
it was written, astonishingly firm and clear.
A second, but unsigned, codicil, of the
same day, confirms the nomination of the
Rev. R. Cockbum, vicar of Bex ley, in Kenty
Alexander Milne, esq. uf the office of Woods
and Forests, and James Bennett Freeland,
of Chichester, esq. to be his executors. The
codicils are both witnessed by Lord Wilton,
Viscount Granville, and Mr. Wainewright.
P. 378. The Rev. Thomas Whalley mar-
ried Oct. 95, 1803, Catherine-Maria, fourth
daughter of Charles-James Packe, esq. of
Prestwould in Leicestershire. His son, the
Rev. John-Christopher Whalley, has been
lately admitted to succeed him in the Rec-
tory of Ecton.
P. 879. The Rev. Richard Bracken was
one of the curates at Brighton. A sermon
preached by Mr. Wagner, Rector of Brighton,
on occasion of his death, has been published.
P. 380. Mr. Walker was nephew to the
late Rev. Tilly Walker, Vicar of Mears
Ashby, Northamptonshire.
P. 469. Sir F. F. Baker was elected
Fellow both of the Royal and Aniiqaartaa
Societies in 1811.
P. 47S. In the year 1897, the Rev.
Charles Powlett, owing to some disappoint-
ment in his receipts, quitted Great Danmow,
where he resided. At that time necessity
obliged him to pay his creditors at the rate
of I0<. in the pound only, which , from his
resuectabilitv, they readily took, and sym-
patnized with him in his misfortunes. Oar
readers can better conceive than we can re-
late, the feelings of gratitude experienced
by the tradesmen in Dunmow, when, in
Dec. 1899, the Rev. Percy Powlett, the
son, visited the town, and not only paid the
remaining 1 0<. but also interest upon each
debt, at the rate of 4 per cent. This is,
indeed, one of the best proofs a son can give
of the affectionate regard he entertains foe
his father.
