This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  lhal  w;ls  preserved  for  general  ions  on  library  shelves  before  il  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  pari  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

Il  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  thai  was  never  subject 

to  copy  right  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  dillicull  lo  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  lo  a  library  and  linally  lo  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

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

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

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

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  lile  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use.  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 

countries.  Whether  a  book  is  slill  in  copyright  varies  from  country  lo  country,  and  we  can'l  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search

PREFACE  to  Tt7E  FJFT Y-EIGHTH  VoutmR. 

FROM  the  experience  of  FtfTi-eicHT  Years  we  well  know  that  to 
t  fecure  the  pfiblic  favoyr  we  hare  only  to  ufc  pur  beft  endeavours  to 
deferve  it.  Imprefled  with  a'  due  fehfe  of  that  obligation,  the  talk  of  meeting 
bur  Headers  in*  formal  Preface  Becomes  unnecefFary.  We  have  only  to  thank 
ibem  for  repeated  iriftapces  of  indulgence ;  to  entreat  a  continuance  of  tlieif 
patronage ;  and,to  allure  them  that  it  is  no  left  our  wiih,  than  it  is  our  duty, 
to  add  whatever  improvement*  {hay  be  fug  gelted  for  their  entertainment. 

Profiling  to  make  our  Mifcellany  a  Record  of  Obits,  ai  well  as  other  event* 
which  would  be  loft  in  the  epbemerian  regifter  of  a  news-papcf,  we  trail  to 
the  candour  of  our  Readers  in'  general,  tbat  molt,  if  not  all  of  them,  will 
£itd  in  the  Monthly  Obituary  feme  individual  recorded  in  whom  they  may 
have  an  intereft*.  We  flatter  ourfelvet  it  can  be  no  •very  difficult  matter  to 
find  airy  name  in  the  Index  at  the  end  of  each  volume  i  but  that  aid  mull  be 
waited  for  till  the  year  is  clofed.— The  increafe  of  Explanatory  Plates,  to 
illultrate  the  fubjein)  treated  of,  cannot  have  efcapod  notice. 

In  one  point  only  do.  we  experience  a  difficulty  t  The  aftoiiifhing  increafo 
of  correfpondence^  while  tt'ifiol!  agreeably  flatters  us  with  the  conviction 
that  our  labours  are  acceptable,  and'furnilhes  the  moil  ample  (purees  for  fe- 
Jeflion,  Wolves  in  it  feme  ground  bf  perplexity.  It  is  with  relnftanc*  we 
occafionally  lay  aide  many  valuable  Letters  on  account  merely  of  their 
length.  Theft  it  is  regularly  our  intention  to  relume  t  till  other  communi- 
cation*  of  a  more  temporary  nature  compel  ut  (till  to  pafs  by  what  it  waa 
never  our  intention  to  reject.  Hence  arifc  repeated  enquiries-after  etiaya 
which  remain  in  the  prccife  fituation  above  defcribed.  For  this  we  can 
devife  no  other  reWdy,  than  to  requeft  our  Correspondents  will  confider 
that  tbetr  favours  are  intended  to  be  published  as  soon  as  possible, 
unlcfs  they  are  exprcfsly  told  othenvife  in  the  Index  Indicatosius. 

In  fucha  multiplicity  -of  letters,  the  very  Post  ace  becomes  a  fcrious  object; 
tvhich  we  recommend  to  the  notice  of  our  Correfpondenta:.  and  it  fo  hap- 
pens, tbat  fuch  as  are  leaft  worth  tiling  are  in  general  thofc  of  which  the 
carriage  is  wfaii.  We  have  fometirnes  been  taxed  with  a  Jnilt  Uutr,  to 
auV  a  queflion  of  little  moment;  and  this  perhaps  followed  by  a  iccond,  to 
fan  quire  whether  the  firft  was  received.  To  mention  this  inconvenience  is, 
we  doubt  not,  fufficifint  to  obtain  redrefs.  From  the  great  regularity  of  the 
Poll -office,  it  if  Very  rare  indeed  that  a  letter  can  mifcarry  if  directed  to

AG  improving  wafle  ground  is  1  good 
dealihetafteof  the  age,  I  kail  be 
Much  obliged  to  you, 'to  infert,  in  your 
tjfeful  and  entertaining  Milcellany,  the 
following  account,  which  may  not  only 
be  of  ufe  to  my  brother  Farmers,  but 
may  likewife  bo  a  curious  fubjeft  of  in* 
veuigarion  to  the  ftudious  in  natural 
philofopby. 

In  Odober  1786,  I  bought  thirty  nine 
ewe-flicep  of  three  different  perfbnt,  and 
let  tbem  run  all  the  fuccecding  winter 
upon  land  jufl  laid  down  to  graft,  after 
being  recovered  from  a  wild  flate.  The 
■Ul  was  what  is  called  here  a  black  foil, 
*  good  deal  inclined  to  the  peat  earth  j 
.  but,  when  fowo  with  oat*  and  hay-feeds, 
in  1 7 S5,  was  very  (olid,  and  of  good 
eonfiflenee  for  pailutc,  the  year,  follow- 
ing. There  Were  about  ico  liulheis  of 
line  fpread  upon  every  acre  of  it,  when 
laid  down.  The  ihecp  were  very  healthy 
all  winter;  but,  when  the  Iambi  came 
into  tbe  woi  Id  in  fpring,  though  large 
and  full-grown,  they  were  almoft  all  ci- 
ther dead,  or,  having  no  life  of  their 
limbs,  grew  work  and  worfc  till  they 
expired,  fo  that  only  four  of  them  lived 
to  come  to  the  butcher.  But  the  ewe. 
were  always  well,  fattened  regularly, 
and  were  all  killed  for  mutton.  There 
wai  only  one  crop  of  corn  taken  off 
this  new  land,  which  being  of  a  loofe 
contexture.  ihcgrafs  upon  it  grew  vciy 
luxuriantly  )  and  «  tliit  fort  of  grafs  is 
generally  ellcemed  very  unwholcfomc 
forfnccp,  1  fuppole  it  null  have  been 
tbe  eaufe  of  this  dif.greeible  etfeS. 
The  after -grafs  upon  the  fame  fort  of 
,  land  wai  ihic  year  cat  off  by  the  wea- 
thcri,  which  have  likewife  fattened  and 
done  vcty  well  upon  it.  That  thi* 
luxuriant  growth  ot  herbage  fhould  not 


at  all  aftecr  the  full-grown  (beep,  and  at 
the  fame  time  that  the  dams  mould  aU 
moil  univerfalty  convey  fo  fatal  a  dif- 
order  to  their  young,  i.  to  me  unac- 
countable; and  I  mould  be  »ery  glad  to 
fee  it  explained  by  fome  more  intelligent 
petfon.  This  newly  reclaimed  land  is 
hkewife  very  unhealthy  for  all  homed 
tattle,  generally  bringing  them  into  a 
violent  lax.  But  it  has  the  contrary  ef- 
fect upon  horfes,  which,  I  think,  are 
fooner  frefhened  and  made  far  there  than 
upon  other  land.  But  at  I  have  fome 
ttlarei  with  foal,  I  mould  tie  very  glad 
of  fome  of  your  correfpondenu'  opinion 
about  the  piobable  effea  upon  them: 
whether  or  no  thefe  young  animals  will 
be  liable  to  the  fame  difordcr  with  the 


s  ef. 

made  known  to  the  publick.  Had  I  ever 
feen  it,  I  certainly  Jhould  not  have 
flocked  my  farm  with  fheep. 

This  land  was  Town  with  the  beft 
common  hiy  feeds  that  could  be  pro- 
cured. I  have  fince  been  informed,  that 
rye-grafs,  not  being  of  fo  luxuriant  a 
growth,  when  fown  upon  land  of  this 
nature,  will  not  be  attended  with  ftuja 
pernicious  effeflt.  A  Fa.ft.MEt:.

The  mafons  of  ancient  Egypt  feera  fo 
have  been  unacquainted  with  the  art  of 
forming  an  arch.  In  Mr.  Dalton's  view 
of  the  gallery  or  narrow  palfage  in  the 
great  Pyramid  at  Glze,  and  in  the  two 
rooms  of  that  which  is  opened  atSacara, 
«hc  vault  over-head  is  formed  by  gentle 
projections  of  the  Hones  one  above  ana* 
ther  till  they  approach  to  near  a  point 
at  the  center.  The  outfide  finilhing, 
or  face  of  the  Pyramids,  is  not  alike  in 
all.  The  largelt  of  thole  at  G  nc  feems 
never  to  have  been  eompleated ;  the  fe-

covering  near  the  top  remaining  in  its

that  Fern  had  no  feed.  Our  ancefiori

cluded that  ihey  whp  Roflcfled  the

in  your  Magazine  to  the  following  ob- 
Icivanocs  on  what  leems  to  be  the  dtfign 
ot  hii  communication. 

As  to  the  Divine's  letter,  which  your 
corrtfpondeni  communicates,  I  do  not 
at  all  tjudlion  the  genuinenels  of  it :  nor 
do  I  much  wonder  at  any  perfon'a  be- 
coming prejudiced  againlt  Mr.  H'i  doc-

zeal,  *nd  air  of  fupercilioufnels  ami  felf-

|  bad  the  pleafute  ol"  pcrfonally  know- 


Hutchinfon,  and  hii  Ifrilings,  ai 
ing  the  gentleman  to  whom  the  letter 
was  addrciTed,  and  knew  him  to  be  at 
extremely  mild  and  ;.!»cid  in  his  difpofi- 
rion,  at  his  friend  Mr.  H.  was  the  re- 
verie, I  mud  own  that,  however  feverc 
the  letter  is-  upon  Mr.  H's  Ipirit  and 
manner  as  an  author,  much  of  it  is  toa 
juft ;  but  we  cannot  even  be  abtolutcly 
certain  of  that,  unlefs  we  weie  ac- 
quainted with  the  per  Condi  provocation* 
he  miiilit  meet  with,  and  with  the  fecrct 
canals  and  defigns  of  lome  of  the  lite- 
rati at  that  time,  wbicb-Mr.  H.  only 
hints  at  in  fome  of  his  writings,  though 
we  are  not  obliged  implicitly  to  credit 
his  alfercions.  But  what  has  Mr.  H"« 
harfli  temper  and  manner  of  writing  as 
an  author  to  do  with  the  truth  of  hie 
pHTofophy .'  or  his  zealous  defence  of 
the  Hcbiew's  being  an  ideal  language* 
framed  by  Divine  Wifdom,  to  convey 
juft  definitions  of  the  nature  or  afliont 
of  things,  implied  in  the  fignihcattona  of 
the  names  or  word*  by  which  ihey  were 
denominated? 

The  next  thing  I  beg  leave  to  obfetre 
is,  that  your  eorrefpondent  tries  very 
uncandidly  and  unjuftly  to  prejudice 
your  leaders  againlt  Mr.  Madan,  by  the 
icnfjble  letter  he  communicates,  avow- 
edly intended,  however,  to  give  the  pub- 
lic a  very  bad  imprtilion  of  Mr.  H.  in 
order  to  transfer  the  fame  to  Mr.  M. 
whom  he  conceives  favourable  to  Mr. 
H's  ideas  in  philofopby  and  divinity. — 
Next,  your  correlpoodent  indirectly  im- 
peaches Mr.  M'l  Ipirit  and  temper  in 
hiv  anfwer  to  Dr.  Piieltlcy ;  willing,  I 
fancy,  that  the  public  fhoulti  fuppole  his 
letteis  to  be  wnuenin  the  fame  Ipirit 
with  which  die  letter  he  communicates 
charges  Mr.  H.  I  have  read  Mr.  M'a 
letteis,  and  think  them  more  full  of  ho- 
ned and  ferious  dealing  with  Dr.  P. 
than  1  have  ohferved  in  any  other  of  his 
cotrelpcmdents  or  antagonlfU.  Perhaps 
your  conefponilent  is  ot  opinion,  that 
there  is  no  danger  to  any  per  loos  from 
thedoctiinea  they  maintain,  if  they  ho- 
ncflly  believe  them.  If  Mr.  M.  is  of 
the  lame  opinion,  to  be  lute  in  that  cafe 
his  ipiiit  is  to  be  blamed  for  being  hui- 
ricd  into  any  unbecoming  fe verity  <  f 
exprcflion  :  but  if  Mr.  M.  is  letiouily 
of  Opinion,  that  there  arc  fucli  things  as 
what  the  Sciiptuiei  call  daanabU  dte. 
trimts,  acd  if  he  is  alfo  of  opinion  that 
thole  doctrines,  which  Dr.  P,  is  labour- 
ing to  djilinguiLh  himlelf  as  the  apollle 
of,  are  of  tint  kind ;  then  every  honed 
man  mult  be  of  opinion,  that  Mr.  M. 
In;  acted  both  a  laiihful  and  a  friendly 
part 


aa    JUmarhouMr.  fcbtcb'mfon,  vWr.  Madan,  aW  i>.  Prieftley. 


put  tmnrdi  Dr.  P.;  for  I  cannot  re- 
•olltft  that  Mr.  M.  his  mixed  any  de- 
gret  of  jbufive  of  provoking  linguige 
with  ilia  feriout  folemnity  of  bis  rtmon- 
Arancet  or  exhortations. 

Your  corrtfpondeur,  I  apprehend, 
frives  rather  »  raifreprttentatioo  of  what 
Mr.  H.  maintained.  He  fays,  indeed, 
that  ihc  Hebrew  words  ufed  in  cxpref- 
fion  or  fpenking  of  natural  things,  when 
jiiftly  interpreted,  confirm  and  illurtrate 
ihofe  very  principles  which  Jie  aliens  K 
the  true  ones  of  natural  philofophy.  I 
»dmtt  aifo,  be  refers  more  CD  the  fenfe 
of  the  Hebrew  language  than  to  any 
Other  arguments  which  he  could  have 
adduced  (far  Mr.  H.  «m  deficient  nei-  . 
ther  in  natural  knowledge  nor  in  fhcug 
ptttttal  abilities)  in  fupport  of  his  doc- 
trine! :  but  Dili  I  apprehend  that  your 
coreefpondant  nprefies  nitrite  If  unwar- 
nMaUy,  when  he  makes  Mr.  H.  tf- 
fcrt,  that  the  Helirew  in  its  roots,  &c, 
twtWtWB  a  rtvtiotkn  of  his  philofophy  j 
which  amounts  to  his  faying,  that  it 
cooltl  neither  be  under  ft  nod  ,oor  proved 
by  any  otlwr  means. 

Again,  I  think  your  correfponden* 
does  cot  a£t  with  the  utmoft  candoor, 
wiien,  mcaaing  to.  pals  a  general  cenfurc 
on  Mr.  H"i  plulofnpriy.  Ijf  avails  him- 
fclf  of  the  general  opinion  of  the  infal. 
fibilicy  of  Sir  Ifaac  Newton's  m*tbima- 
tital  deimtfiratniisi  m*d  htsitfrovrrlibii 
txfirunet.  When  opinions  arc  meant 
to  be  fairly  repiefented  or  fpokca  of, 
it  is  not;  adliag  the  part  of  an  honeft 
judge,  to  ihaow  all  tnc  weight  of  infal- 
libility and  untvcrfal  character  into  one 
fcale,  a«nl  decide  accordingly.  But,  lie- 
rides,  your  correfpondene  items  to  be 
but  iitiptrfiflly  acquainted  with  the  fuh- 
jefl  to  which  lie  is  fe  partial.  I  am  i- 
tniii  he  hss  not  etimincd  every  unan- 
swered objection  that  has  been  made  to 
the  very  fitft  principle*  of  Sir  Kaac 
Newton's  philofophy.  For  example,  he 
Jays  that  the  planets  are  moved  round 
their  centre  of  rnvny  by  the  combined 
forces  of  projc&ian  and  gravitation  : 
every  ptifoo  of  CDntmoo  fenfe  muft  be 
convinced,  that,  in  order  to  <|Ualify  two 
iucli  powers- m  move  any  body  in  cir* 
clii,  <y  nearly  in  eitcles,  tound  a  center, 
their  momenta  mult  lie  equal  in  force* 
and  equally  indeAructsble.  But  the 
rnoroenLunt  of  projection  is,  by  Sir  I- 
faac,  fuppoled  to  move'  the  earth  i«oe 
miles  in  lels  lime  than  gravitation  alone 
would  move  it  as  many  tecr.  Again,  in 
order  to  the  two  powers  being;  equally 
inoafiruiUMe,  ihuy  uijft  main  all  their 


tion  (which  are  the  fame)  they  may  meet 
with :  but  this  is  evidently  contrary  to 
the  nature  of  projefrion,  which  saver 
can  recover  any  of  the  tendency  that' the 
leift  variation  fubtrafts  from  it.— What, 
■gain,  fhtll  we  fay  of  Sir  Ifaac's  sfcrib- 
ing  two  abfolute  motions  to  the  fecon- 
atiry  planets  i  one  round  their  primary, 
and  another  round  their  general   centre 


and  falling  at  the  fame  tnftint.'  Natyi- 
tal  nuthematio  unerringly  inform  the 
pliineft  capacity,  that  if  twenty  projec- 
tions, all  in  varying  direAiopf,  were 
imprafied  on  till- fame  body,  at  tin)  fame 
hltant,  it  could  rake  only  one  mean  dr- 
ruftion,  the  refult  of  them  ail.  Now  I  ■ 
apprehend  Mr.  H's  idea  of  nature's  be- 
ing one  general  fyflem  of  complicated 
mechanifm,  (b  arranged,  by  the  infinite 
capacity  of  its  Author,  at  to  perform 
all  the  motions,  fenfible  as  well  at  im- 
perceptible, wtitrit  are  difcovcraMe  thro' 
the  whole,  it  by  no  means  clogged  with 
any  fuch  infu noon nt able  difficulties  tf 
theft,  and  many  other*  of  th*  like  na- 
ture, with  which  the  Newtonian  hypo-  ■ 
thefts  of-  immaterial  laws  and  motive  . 
tendencies  of  matter  is  loaded  ;  the 
only  problem  to  be  folvcd  in  the  rneaha-, 
nical  philofophy  bring,  whether  tlfere  it 
a  plenum  or  not  i  for  it  tnufl  be  COn- 
feiled,  that  it  as  ncceflarily  depends  up- 
on a  plenum,  as  Sir  Ifaac  Newton \  does 

As  your  comfpondeot's  rtftript  fttmt, 

Cipreffly  iniendtd  to  fupport  the  credit 
of  Dr.  P.  by  detracting  from  that  tf 
Mr.  M.  as  as  Hutchinionian  ;  I  (hall 
conclude  my  obTervaiions  with  this  ftaort 
one,— that  no  interpretation  of  word  or 
pafTage  is  to  be  found,  in  Mr.  H's  wri- 
tings, which  diAorts  their  figrfificatjon 
fo  mucb,  from  the  common  apprelienfioit 
of  unlearned  readers,  as  many  of  tire 
interpretations  Dr.  P.  finds  himfelf  o- 
bliged  to  impofe  upon  many  pallages  of 
the  New  Teftament,  th*  literal  fenfe  of 
which  is  obvious  and  pltin  to  every  com- 
mon and  unprejudiced  reader.

be  pirmilltd  at  danting-lcliool  balls,

of  all  this  was,  that  a  number  of  boys 
got  drunk,  diilurbid  the  company,  and 
iiifulred  the  girl*."— The  anfwer  to  thit

Perfian  Letters,  Leu.  LVI.  thus  fpeaks 
of  Dr.  Hough,  the  very  upui  Br  Qiop  of

Oidinaiy,.  that,  not  to  give  it,  would  be 
departing  from  the  rule  I  have  laid 
down,  to  let  nothing  that  is  lingular 
efcape  my  notice.  In  the  firil  place,  he 
rtiides  coatantly  on  his  diocefe,  and  has 
done  fo  for  many  yean  :  he  aiks  nothing 
of  the  court  for  nimfclf  or  family  i  he 
hoards  up  no  wealth  for  bis  relations, 
but  lays  out  the  revenues  of  his  fee  in  a 
decent  hofpitality,  and  a  charity  void  of 
orientation.  At  his  firil  entrance  into 
tbe  world,  be  dritinguilhed  himfclf  by  a 
seal  for  the  liberty  of  his  country,  and 
had  a  eonliderable  flute  in  bringing  on 
the  Revolution  that  prefcrved  it.  Hit 
principles  never  altered  by  his  prefer- 
ment. He  never  pfoftituwd  hit  pen,  nor 
debated  his  character,  by  party  difputcs 
ot  blind  compliance.  Though  he  it 
warmly  fcriouvin  the  belief  ot  hit  re- 
ligion, he  it  moderate  to  all  who  differ 
from  him.  He  knows  no  diftin£tioa  of

Of  tbij  great  man  I  do  not  recollect

him  a  peculiar  mtrir,  which,  1  am  lurry 
to  fay,  cannot  be  given  to  anv  one  Bi- 
fliop  of  the  prcfent  (lay,  viz,  that  he  re-

that  brandy  or  opium  are  not  mod  ei-

to  mankind  at  all  the  rel$ur  together.

JULIA.  A  Ballad. 
TUUA,  of  all  the  village  fair, 
J  Was  the  peculiar  pace ; 
fier  flowing  locks  of  auburn  hair 

Play' J  round  her  dimpled  face. 
The  brighter*  eyes  befpoke  a  fool 

Where  every  virtue  throve, 
Eyci,  thatthey&i*//fr*f*coritrouI, 

And  tune  the  foul  to  love. 
Young  Edward  faw  the  matchlefi  maid, 

And  felt  the  frarait  flame ; 
For  her,  he  nightly  trod  the  glade, 

And  dwelt  011  Julia's  name. 
Each  beachen  tree  her  cypher  bore, 

Carv'd  hy  the  am'rnus  youth, 
And  many  a  wreath  of  hi*  [he  wwe, 

EntwinM  with  vows  of  truth. 
Full  oft  ihe  heard  his  artlefs  tale. 

And  heav'd  the  tender  ugh, 
When  waod'ring  o'er  the  flow'ry  dale. 

The  llroaiii  ran  murm'ring  by. 
The  rotes  fade  on  Julia's  cheek,    * 

And  will  my  Edward  go.? 

He  ftiives  in  vain.alatl   Ufpetk, 
His  bean  was  filled  with  woe. 
But,  hark!  thehorrddb)  of  wart 
■    The  trumpet  calls  to  arm*  1 
Xdward  is  doom'd  to  leave  the  Fair, 
A  prey  to  love's  alarms. 

«  One  patting  tifs,'  was  all  he  f:<id, 
"  From  thofe  dear  lips  one  iifs; 

<*  I  fwear4'll  ever  love  my  maid, 
•'  My  ftfit  and  alj  bUs." 


Soft  Planet!  witness  of  our  loves, 

"  Whofe  placid  virgin  eye 

Has  nightly  led  us  thro'ihe  groves,

Oh,  guard  him  frum  t!>e  ;  dinted  fpearr

"  Convey  his  Julia's  truth." 
But  now  the  war  began  to  rage, 

Full  roll'd  the  battle  tide, 
Now  did  the  hoitile  troops  engage. 

And  many  a  Hero  died. 
High  fwelli  the  bufy  voice  of  F.imc 

The  fatal  news  to  tell. 
And  while  the  Victory  all  proclaim,

■nay  judge  from  practice,  it  is   indeed 
much  otherwife  than   difpleafing,   and 
h  undoubtedly  has  a  manifeft  advantage 
in  laving  time.    Why,  Sir,  a  few  ytari

of  riper  years.    Bovs  were  then  laughed 
at,  and   hillid  by  their  i'cliool- fellows, 
as  fill v  infigniticant  puppies,  who  were 
lAen   up  about  drels,  or  in  attending 
the  miiTes  :    but  now,  before  iliey  have 
half  teamed  their  grammar  and  e«er-     w!

river  Tweed  produce  yearly  >  -   ■        ■      - 

Anfvi.  The  produce  of  this  river  is 
variable,  being  fcldom  two  veari  alike, 
and  for  many  fcafbos  together  unpro- 
ductive, or  the  rents  ill  paid,  while  ano- 
iher  time,  for  many  fubfequent  feafons, 
the  falmon  are  remarkably  plenty.  To 
obtain  an  account  of  the  number  of  fal- 
rnon caught  in  the  river  Tweed  in  one 
Tear,  with  tolerable  accuracy,  I  have, 
fey  the  afliftance  of  a  well-informed 
perfon,  eollefled  a  rental  of  every  ftpa- 
rate  filhery  in  the  river  for  about  14 
miles  from  its  mouth  (in  all  about  41), 
the  rents  amounting  to  about  5,400!. 
annually  *. 

The  fame  perfon  alfb,  thoroughly  ac 

•  This  rental  was  taken  in  the  year  176'j 
finte  which  lime  moft  of  the  leafes  have  been 
renewed  at  an  advanced  rent.  In  one  in- 
ftance, at  toe  mouth  of  the  Tweed,  the  bit 
is  well  known  ■  the  leafe,  which  expired 
only  a  few  yean  ago,  was,  with  avidity,  fe- 
tured  at  more  than  double  its  old  rent,  in  the 
prujwrtion,  if  I  miftake  out,  of  three  tsj  ft- 


graduallyai 

inches  in  length,  and  are  then  termed 
here  fmowies,  or  raiher,  properly, 
certainly  have  no 
affinity,  in  flupe  or  hue,  to  that  deli- 
cate morlel  with  which  you  decorate  a 
dilh  of  Tweed  falmon  at  your  London 
tables.  This  young  fry  haflcn  to  lea 
with  no  finall  expedition.  About  the 
beginning  of  May,  the  river  feems  tu 
be  all  alive.  You  cannot  conceive  any 
idea  of  their  a  umbers.  If  a  land- flood 
then  happens,  they  are  fwept  away  to 
fea  more  effectually,  as,  after  it,  Icarce 
any  are  to  be  fecn.. 

Near  the  middle  of  June,  the  eatlieft 
of  them  take  the  river  again  ;  they  are 
then,  in  this  fecond  ftage,  called  gilles, 
and  are  about  11,  14,  or  16  indies  long. 
Thus  they  increafe  in  numbers  and  fue 
till  about  the  middle  of  July,  which  is, 
at  wc  call  it,  the  middle  of  gilfe-time,  a 
period  much  looked -for  by  the  mdutln- 
ous  and  laborious  poor.

Mr.  Fox  acquiefeed,  although  he  did 
not  thiuk  that  a  fen  days  delay  could

Mr.  Fax  obferved,  that  in  the  Speech 
from  the  Throne  it  was  laid,  that 
France  had  notified  to  thin  country  her 
intention  of  interfering  by  force  in  the 
difputei  of  Holland;  while  the  counter. 
declaration  politively  Mated,  that  Do

that  court,  tor  hii  own  part,  he  bad 
no  doubt  of  the  veracity  of  the  Royal

nour  of  that  notification  the  Houfe 
lvai  to  form  a  judgement  of  the  conduct 
of  Mm  liters  in  advifing  the  King  to

that  a  cupy  of  the  notification  fhould  be 
laid  upon  the  tabic.  The  Houle  would 
then  have  art  opportunity  of  deciding 
upon  the  Aate  of  a  tranfaction  of  which

on  the  approach  of  the  Prulfian  troop*) 
applied  to  the  molt  Chiiflian  king,  ai 
the  ally  of  the  republic,  for  fuccoursi 
and  that  Monarch,  considering  them  a* 
the  lawful  fovereigni  of  the  Piovinct  of 
Holland,  promifed  to  protect  his  alliei 
againft  a  foreign  invafton.  Thit  he 
did  not  deem  •  departure  from  the  re- 
folution  he  had  formed,  not  to  .interfere 
in  the  internal  difoutct  of  the  republic : 
but  the  king  of  Great  Britain  not  ac-

lawful  fovereigni  of  the  Province,  but, 
on  the  contrary,  looking  up»u  them 
at  ufurpert  of  the  government,  and  in- 
vaders of  the  constitution  of  the  re- 
public, could  not  view  the  armed  in- 
terference of  France  in  any  other  light 
than  at  allefire  to  fupport  a  fett  of  ulur» 
pen  againft  their  lawful  fbvercignt ,  by 
aflitting  one  party  againft  the  other* 
and  confequently  endeavouring  to  in- 
terfere by  arm*  in  the  internal  difputti 
of  that  country.  In  thit  manner  might 
the  variance  between  the  Speech  and 
the  counter-declaration  be  explained  and 
done  away.  It  was  of  no  moment  now 
to  enquire  into  a  burin  e  ft  that  bad,  har-

thought  the  attempt  not  innocent. 

Mr.  Fix  fpoke  a  few  words  in  reply,

intended  to  adopt.  In  which  of  theft 
views  it  was  to  be  confidcred,  the  Hoofe 
hid  not  yet  been  informed.  He  had 
laid  on  a  former  day,  that  he  did  not 
wifll  to  preft  his  enquiries  into  the  par- 
ticulars of  our  foreign  politics;  yet  it 
was  impoffible,  in  the  preftnt  inftancc, 
to  determine  fully  on  the  expediency  of 
the  tianfaftion,  unlefs  gentlemen  were 
acquainted  with  the  other  treaties  now 
on  foot,  as  the  merit:  of  the  prefent 
could  be  afcertained  only  by  its  relative; 
tendencies.  He  remarked  nn  that  claufe

gaged for  were  prohibited  10  be  fent  be- 
yond fea,  except  to  Gteat  Britain  or 
Ireland.  By  this  claufe  we  were  pre- 
cluded from  employing  them  in  Gibral- 
tar, India,  our  Weft  India  iflands,  or 
any  other  of  our  diftant  fettle  meDts, 
where  the  various  contingencies  of  war 
might  require  their  afCBance.  We  could 
only  judge  of  the  future  by  the  pa(|4 
and,  afcertaioing  the  merits  of  the 
treaty  by  that  criterion,  we  fliould  find, 
that,  had  it  eiiftcrl  it  the  commence- 
ment of  the  I  aft  war,  the  troops  ihua 
engaged  could  not  have  been  employed 
to  the  final  kit  advantage  by  this  nation. 
He  was  alio  defirous  of  being  informed, 
whether  the  palling  of  this  refolutioa 
implied  that  Parliament  were  bound  to 
admit  thole  forces  into  this  kingdom, 
on  any  future  occsfion,  without  being 
previoufly  conlulted,  and  their  permif- 
iion  formally  obtained.  Thefc  ft  vera! 
points  demanded  explanation;  but  the 
molt  tlTential  queftinn  was,  how  far  the 
prefent  treaty  is  attached  to,  6r  depends

is  undcrllood,  are  now  in  agitation  ? 

Mr.  Pill  faid,  with  i?rpe!t  to  the  firft

it  was  deemed  highly  neceffary  to  be

in  confequence  of  which  tile  engage-

appearance.  The  reader  need  Dot,  per-

important  poemi  of  thr  old  Edda.  in

The  attention  excited  by  the  lingular 
and  fublime  mvthology  of  the  Prof.iic 
Edda  will  no  doubt  be  railed  to  the 
bighell  degree  by  the  publication  of 
this  ancient  Edda,  containing  the  origi- 
nal poems  from  which  the  PiolaitEdda 

In  the  firft  place  appears  a  Well- writ- 
ten Preface,  giving  fume  account  of 
the  Eddie  mythology,  and  Ihewing 
H-iking  refemblances  between  it  and 
the  Greek.  M.  Mallet  has  already  re- 
marked the  fimilarity  of  this  mytho- 
logy to  the  Periian,  in  numerous  in- 
stances. Thw  Preface  alfo  contains  an 
account  of  the  tnanufcriptt  from  which 
this  edition  is  printed. 

Next  is  a  long  and  curious  Life  of 
Sznidnd,  (urnamed  Froda,  or,  The 
Learned,  the  fuppnfcd  collector  of  the 
old  poems  which  form  this  Edda.  He 
was  born  in  the  South  of  Iceland,  in 
the  year  1056,  according  10  the  beft  ac- 
•ounii}  travelled  into  France,  and  re- 
turned 10  his  native  country  about  A. 
D  1076.  Here  he  became  a  clergy- 
man, famous  for  his  learning,  aeal,  and 
abilities,  and  peculiarly  ardent  in  illuf- 
trating  the  antiquities  of  hi*  country  -, 
fo  much  fo,  that  his  fame  there,  at  this 
day,  exceeds  the  reality,  and  numerous 
works  are  rfcribed  to  him  which  cer- 
tainly belong  to  other*.  It  is  indeed  an

unhappy  cirettm dance,  that  the  numer- 
ous Icelandic  writer*  did  not  put  their 
names  to  their  works  1  for  report  and 
tradition  are  always  uncertain,  generally 
falfe.  But  it  it  of  no  moment  whether 
Szmund  collected  thefe  poems  or  not : 
they  certainly  precede  his  time ;  as 
every  one  verted  in  Icelandic  poetry,  at 
language,  mutt  allow.  The  limpticity 
of  the  phrafcologv,  compared  with  the 
Icelandic  poetry  of  the  twelfth  and  ihir-' 
tcenth  cenroriet,  fo  full  of  diltortcd 
conceits  and  violent  metaphors  1  the 
want  of  rhyme,  which  began  to  be  tried 
by  Eynar  Sculafon,  about  11571  the 
indcfcribable  antique  manner  of  thele 
poem* ;  (II  afford  evidence  that  they 
are  of  early  date.  Add  to  thefe, 
thai  the  fcene,  or  perfont,  never  are 
Icelandic,  but  always  DaniO),  Swediftt, 
or  Norwegian;  a  peculiarity  impolBble 
to  be  accounted  for,  if  the  poems  had 
been  written  in  Iceland.  Ii  Teems, 
therefoie,  to  follow,  that  thefe  poems 
muft  have  been  traditionally  prefer  (ed 
among  the  Icelander*,  who  only  began 
to  pals  from  Scandinavia  to  that  coun- 
try about  the  year  874.  To  thefe  ar- 
gument* others  may  be  added  from 
the  Preface  of  this  edition,  p.  xxxviii, 
evincing  that  thefe  poems  precede  the 
ninth  century.  Let  not  the  reader, 
however,  fall  into  the  vulgar  error  of 
increafing  unknown  antiquity  to  an  un. 
neceflary  degree.  There  is  no  reafun 
to  infer  that  thefe  poem*  arc  older  than 
the  eighth  or  ninth  century.  Certain 
it  is,  that,  be.  their  age  what  it  may, 
they  contain  the  Pagan  creed  of  Scandi- 
navia. The  conceit  concerning  the  an, 
tiquity  of  the  later  Edda  i*  equally  ridi- 
culous. Nobody  doubt)  that  Natali* 
Comet,  a  writer  of  the  fixreenth  cen- 
tury, has  given  us  the  beft  Syftem  of 
Greek  and  Roman  Mythology.  These 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  later  Edda 
contains  the  real  Pagan  Gothic  mytho-

kind,  is  ftrewed  over  the  held  once  in  three 
or  Four  years,  orortener,  if  convenient. 

"  The  aloe  juice  will  keep  for  feveral 
weeks  without  injury.  It  is,  therefore,  not 
boiled  till  a  fufficieiil  quantity  is  procured  to 
make  it  an  object  for  the  boiling- houfe.  In

In  two  of  his  tetten,  publillied  by

and  on  each  of  thefe  1  (hall  trouble  you 
with  a  few  remarks,  extraftrd  from  jri

"  That  eagcroefi  in  Mr.  S.  which 
Dr.  Jonnfon  con  ft  rued  mo  anxiety,  whs 
merely  the  effect  of  hade.  When  he 
called  id  Bolt-court,  he  had  little  time 
to  fpare;  and  being  kept  waiting  till 
the  Doctor  could  he  prevailed  on  to 
leave  Lit  bed,  might  reafonably  be  al- 
lowed to  urge  the  uuelliont  he  came  to 
prnpof:,    with  fomc  degr 


neft  and  impatience.  Mr.  S.  was  that 
morning  to  fit  out  for  the  country, 
where  he  expefled  to  meet  Mr.  Tyr- 
whitt ;  who,  having  heatd  of  Dr.  John-

That  Mr.  S.  always  thought  the  Pn-

pleafed  to  find  Dr.  Johnfon  fo  fullv 
convinced,  it  by  no  meant  a  f  .ft.  It

Whether  it  be  that  the  mind  has  a 
natural  love  of  truth,  or  that  man  is 
prone  to  be  querulous,  the  faft  is,  that 
fentimentt  of  defpondency  are  gratify-

maxim  of  Solon,  which  teaches  us  to 
pronounce  no  one  happy  till  his  life  be 
fhiithed,  paffed  into  a  ptoverb  among 
the  Greeks,  and  became  a  popular  fay-

RESEARCHES  into  the  obfeure

not  likely  to  have  much  influence  on 
the  Turn  of  happinefs,  may,  if  they  be 
conduded  with  a  Ibtrit  liberal  as  well  as 
penetrative,  reward  the  labours  of  the   ' 


energies  of  that  curiolity  which  Naturn 
has  created  in  every  Worn.  But  if  the 
inveftigator  of  a  funjeer,  fo  difiaut  from

are  to  receive  it,  there  can  be  but  little 
hope  that  the  knowledge  of  Truth  wilt 
be  much  propagated  by  his  endeavour.

by  Tome  remarks  upon  a  learned  treatife 
lately  publilhed,  under  the  title  of  "  A

of flavery,  and  fees  with  frame  a  com-

in  this  country  of  freedom  to  perpetu- 
ate a  kind  of  tyranny  hitherto  unheard- 
of  in  the  annals  of  hiElory.- 

The  remark  I  believe  is  true.  Sir, 
though  highly  degrading  to  mankind, 
that  tyranny  is  no  where  exercifed  with 
fuch  lis  verity  as  among,  a  free  people. 
The  Romans,  under  the  commonwealth, 
were  extremely  ftvere  to  their  flaves.

emperors',  the  tyrants  of  the  world,  en- 
deavouring 10  moderate,  this  ferocious 
fpirit  of  tyranny  in  their  fubjefts,  and 
enacting  laws  to  mitigate  its  violence  ? 
I  wiili  to  know  what  Mrs.  Macau  I  ay. 
the  cnihu (iaftic  admirer  of  "  thaft  illuj- 
trimi  naiioxi"  (Greece  and  Rome),  and 
of  their  "  diiiini  prteepli,"  can  fay  in 
defence  of  this  horrid  cuilom,  a  cuftom 
nowhere  carried  to  greater  lengths  than 
in  thofe  republics.  It  was  not  till 
Chriflianity  influenced  the  manners  of 
men,  and  introduced  a  fpirit  of  mild- 
nefi  and  jurtice  in  our  dealings  with  o- 
thers,  that"  (lately  received  its  firft 
check.  Ciriliiaiion,  or  rather  the  re- 
flection  of  Chriflianity  upon  the  human 
mind,  (hewed  flawy  in  its  true  colours, 
and  taught  us  to  pay  a  proper  refpefl  to 
our  fbeciet.  Jt  was  at  length  totally 
abolilhed  in  Europe ;  and  would  to 
Heaven  Europe  had  not  revived  it  again , 
In  its  traffic  with  Africa! 

It.  is  a  well-known  fai>,  that  oar 
flares  in  the  Well- Ind ies  receive  hardi- 
er treatment  than  thofe  belonging  to  the 
French' or  Spaniard*.  All  who  vifit 
thofe  iflands  are  witntfTes  of  the  unre- 
lenting barbarity  and  Afiatic  de-fpotifm 
of  our  planters  on  (he  one  hand,  and  of 
the  fu  wrings  and  fullen  refentme  *  of 
•heir  flaves,  who  are  ever  ready  to  take 
an  opportunity  of  revenge,  on  the  o- 
tbcr.  But,  in  the  French  iflands,  we 
find  the  Haves  of  a  ditTerent  temper.  In 
time  of  war,  they  in  general  unite  cor- 
dially with  Their  mailers  in  defence  of 
their  poflelfions,  and  have  often  given 
proofs  of  their  courage  and  fidelity. 
This  difference  in  the  negroes  we 
mutl  neeelllriry  attribute  to  the  differ- 
ent behaviour  of  the  matters.  Bur  then, 
how  can  we  othenvife  account  for  this 
difference  of  behaviour  in  the  mailers, 
than  by  fupnofing  the  truth  of  the  re- 
mark a  bo  v  erne  nt  toned,  that  tyranny  is 
fxtrcifed  by  none  with  lb  much  feverity 
as  by  a  free  people? 

We  know,  Sir,  that  our  Legislature, 
with  an  attention  that  does  them  ho- 
nour, has  iaf(r ft icd  in  behalf  of  thofe 
unfortunate  men,  and  enacted  the'mift 
falutary  laws  to  mitigate  their  fuffer- 
ings.  But,  alas  1  what  are  laws  in  the 
hands  of  thofe  whole  intctcft  it  il  to  per- 
vett  them,  and  who  ate  at  too  great 


the  evil;  refusing  from  it,  and  our  fore- 
fathers  found  a  necefljty  of  utterly  abo- 
lifhing  a  cuftom  which  Teems  to  bring  an 
infeparahle  curfewithit.  Let  us  then  no 
longer  wilh,  by  partial  and  inadequate 
remedies,  to  palliate  an  evil  which  the 
wifdom  and  experience  of  nation*  could 
not  remove,  and  which  has  not  been 
UlTened  by  the  many  laws  already  e> 
nafled  by  our  Legiflature  i  laws  which 
only  frrvc  to  aggravate  the  cjiftref)  of 
the  fufferers,  by  holding  out  to  them  at 
relief  they  are  not  permitted  to  enjoy. 
Such  has  been  the  fate  of  the  opprefled 
in  all  ages,  and  filch  it  will  ever  be.  If 
is  therefore  my  opinion.  Sir,  an  opinion 
I  give  as  an  individual  of  a  free  nation, 
that  no  partial  remedies  are  to  be  a- 
dopted  In  behalf  of  flavety ;  that  we 
muft  cither  leave  our  African  brethren 
to  their  prefent  unhappy  fate,  or  totally 
abolifh  a  practice  which  is  an  infult  on 
humanity.  We  have  a  noble  example 
fet  us  by  the  Quakers  of  America,  who 
have  made  it  the  ft rft- fruit- offerings  of 
their  independence.  Let  us  call  upon 
our  Legiflature  to  adopt  their  example, 
and  to  declare  ftavery  i  neon  fi  (lent  with 
the  laws  of  England,  and  the  fpirit  of 
Chriflianity.  Some  inconvdhiencies  wilt

fear  of  the  Houfe,  the  allegations  of  their 

Ctltioo.  Mr.  Sawbridge  movtd  tor 
ive  to  bring  it  op  i  hut  the  Honfe, 
without  *nv  debate,  divided  upon  the 
motion,  which  wit  rcjcftcd  by  a  majo- 
rity of  63— ave«  31— noes  55. 

Sir  John  Miller  complained,  that  very 
unbecoming  liberties  hid  been  taken  in 
one  of  the  public  print)  in  repotting  the 
fpeecbes  of  members  of  that  Houfc, 
which  ha,  for  one,  was  not  difbofed  to 
countenance,  or  futfet  to  pah.  unnoticed. 
He  therefore  cautioned  the  perfont  al- 
luded to,  that,  rf  they  periifted  in  the 
indecent  practice  of  abufing  a  Member 
for  hit  fpeeche*  in  that  alTcmbly,  or  of 
tnifrtprcfenting  them,  he  would,  how- 
ever reluftantlv,  mo*c,  that  the  ftanding 
order  for  excluding  ftrangers  fliould  be 
rigorouily  enforced. 

Mr.  Gilbert,  niter  a  (holt  introduc- 
tory fpc  c'i,  moved,  that  a  committee 
Ihould  be  appointed  to  take  into  confi- 
guration the  liate  oF  the  poor,  and  of  the 
laws  which  provided  for  their  mainte- 
nance.,  Agreed  to. 

Mr>  "ourtinay  obferred,  that,  though 
an  order  had  been  made  for  taking  the 
Ordnance  eftimatei  into  conii  deration 
thii  evening,  yet  he  thought  the  difcuf- 
fion  of  the  army  eftimatcs  would  take 
Cpfo  much  time,  that  the  confideration 
of  the  former  mud  be  put  off  to  lumt 
other  day  \  and  that,  eonfequently,  cer. 
tain  paper*  might  he  produced,  which, 
in  his  opinion,  ought  to  be  perufed  hy 
the  Members  before  they  voted  the  fup- 
ply  for  the  Otdnance.  Thofc  papers 
were,  the  warrant  from  his  Majcfty  to 
the  Duke  nl  Richmond  for  ratting  a 
corps  of  military  artificers,  and  the  con- 
sequent infltufiions  ilfued  bv  his  Grace 
for  railing  the  men.  The  plana  of  the 
noble  Duke  were,  he  remarked,  diftin- 
guifhed  by  an  originality  of  idea  from 
thole  of  every  other  mortal,  of  which 
the  plan  in  iiuefiion  was  ■  ftriking  in* 
fiance.  Accurding  to  his  conception, 
the  merit  of  a  carpenter,  a  mafon,  or  a 
bricklayer,  was  not  io  be  eflimaied  by 
>  knowledge  of  his  trade,  b'ltby  the  al- 
titude of  hta  perfon;  for  every  man  who 
was  in  height  5  feet  S  inches  was  to  be 
admitted  into  the  corui  |  while  a  man  of 
ten  times  more  (kill  in  his  bufincfi  was 
excluded,  if  unfortunatclv  he  wanted 
half  a  quarter  of  au  inch  of  that  flandard-. 
And,  as  if  this  was  not  enough,  the 
Duke  had  cfUuliuVd  a  Sunday  Scbrtl  for 
jnftrufttng  thole  rradefmen  on  the  Sab- 
bath-day in  the  manual  cxerdfe.  i Io 
concluded  by  moving,  thai  the   warrant 


add  inftruflions  above  mentioned  fhcluld 
be  laid  before  the  Houfc— On  tins  mo- 
tion there  was  a  divifion,  hut  no  debate, 
and  ir  was  rnjefted  bv  a  majority  of  159. 
—  Aves  45. — Noes  104. 

The  Houfe  then  went  into  a  commit- 
tee cf  fupply  on  the  army  and  ordnance 
tllimatts. 

The  Sir-r<tm?  at  War  propofed,  that 
the  military  eflablifhmen;  l"<.r  N.  Ame- 
rica and  the  Wefl  In.iies  fhould  be  aus> 
mentcd  from  o,c4&  to  12,610  men.  Tub 
annual  expense  of  the  former  cftabhfb- 
ment  was  344, coo/,  and  die  expenee  of 
the  number  now  propofed  would  be 
3i],ooo/.  Thia  augmentation  had  b:eti 
recommended  by  thegorernors  and  com- 
manders of  the'  Weft  India  lfiands,  jh 
well  as  by  a  board  of  general  officers, 
fummoncd  for  the  purprle"  of  glvir.s; 
their  opinions  on  the  I'ubjecr.  To  eom- 
penfate,  however,  in  fome  meafure,  for 
this  increafe  of  eftablithment,  his  Ma- 
jeltv  hail  gracioufly  offered  to  content  to 
a  reduction  in  the  number  of  his  house- 
hold troops.  Our  guards  and  giirifoos, 
in  17B7,  amounted  to  17,638  men  ;  but 
in  the  enfuing  year  it  is  intended  to  re- 
duce them  to  16,981.  The  Houfc,  he 
hoped,  would  not  objeft  to  the  prefenc 
plan,  as  it  would  remove  all  apprehen-  ' 
fions  fur  the  lately  of  our  foreign  depen- 
dencies at  a  tiifling  additional  enpenct. 
He  concluded  by  moving  a  refolutiun  to 
the  above  purptife. 

C«l-  FitZfatrkk  difapproved  of  the 
propofed  augmentation.  The  peace 
-.flabli foment  of  17E3  had  been  confi- 
dered  as  adequate  to  all  the  purpokl  of 
national  defence  ;  and,  before  the  pr.lent 
meafure  had  been  brought  forward,  it  ■ 
ought  to  have  been  fatisfadlorily  proved, 
that.fince  1783,  circumfiances  had  oc- 
curred which  tendered  an  increafe  tf  our 
eftabli  foment  iodifpenfably  necclfnrr. 
But  nothing  of  this  kind  had  been  de- 
monftrared.    Our.  foreign  polfeflions  diJ 

and  from  our  late  fuccels  in  1>?ffl:ng  the 
defigns  of  the  French  in  Holland,  he 
inclined  to  think,  that  a   reduQion

gard  to  the  expedient  lately  piactiftd,  of 
con  fulling  the  governor!  and  general

feftly  beautiful  when  taken  finglv,  and 
alt  of  them  aptly  combined  when  taken 
jointly.  To  render  a  work  graceful, 
each  of  the  parts  mull  be  perfectly  beau- 
tiful when  taken  fmgly,  becaule  other- 
wire  there  would  be  a  degtee  of  defor- 
mity in  fome  one  or  more  pans,  with 
which  deformity  Grace  could  not  con- 
fid  :  all  the  parti  too  rouft  be  aptly  com-

■  Apelleslud  been  at  his  houle.  Proto- 
genes  lived  at  Rhodes  ■  ApiHes  failed 
thithar,  and  went  tu  hi%  houle  with  great 
eagernefs,  to  fee  the  Woilts  of  an1  irtift 
who  was  known  to  him  only  by  nam*; 
Prowgene*  wis  gone  tcurji  home;  but 


an  old  worn  in  was  left,  watching  *  Inge 
piece  of  canvas,  which  was  fitted  in  ■ 
frame  for  painting.  She  told  Apellea 
tint  Protogcncs  was  gone  outj  and 
afked  bim  hi)  Dime,  tint  Die  might  in- 
form her  mailer,  who  had  enquired  for 
him.  "  Tell  him  (fa*;*  Apellcs)  he  wn 
enquired  for  by  this  perfon,"— at  the 
lame  time  taking  up  i  pencil,  lie  drew 
on  the  canvas  ■  line  of  great  delicacy. 
When  Protqgcnes  returned,  the  old  wo- 
man acquainted  htm  with  what  hail  hap- 
pened. That  anifi,  upon  contemplat- 
ing the  fine  flrokc  of  the  line,  immedi- 
ately pronounced  that  A  pi  lies  had  been 
therei  for  fo  finiflied  a  work  could  be 
produced  by  no  oilier  ]«rfon.  Protoec- 
ncs,  however,  himfclf  drew  i  finer  line 
of  another  colour ;  and,  as  he  wis  going 
away,  ordered  the  old  woman  to  llicw 
that  line  to  Apelles,  if  he  came  again, 
■nd  to  fay,  "  This  is  the  perfon  for 
whom  you  are  enquiring."  Apellcs  re- 
turned, and  law  the  line  :  he  would  not 
forfliamebe  overcome,  arid  therefor., 
in  a  colour  different  from  either  of  the 
former,  he  drew  fame  lines  lo  nqut- 
Gtely  delicate,  that  it  was  utterly  impof. 
fiblti  for  finer  diodes  to  be  made.  Pro- 
togeues  now  eonfelfed  the  fupei  iority  of 
Apellcs,  flew  to  the  harbour  in  (tilth  ot 
him,  and  rcfolved  to  leave  die  canvas 
with  the  lines  on  it,  for  the  aituniu- 
meat  of  future  mills.

,CI.Orat.);  we  Qiall  be  pleafed  with  the 
liberality  of  mind  which  Apellcs  [hewed 
towards  Proogenes.  'With  ideas  en- 
larged by  education  and  literature,  he 
wis  incapable  of  harbouring  little  jea- 
loufies  of  noble  competitor*  ;  on  the 
contrary,  he  was  the  fir  ft  wlio  made 
the  works  of  Ptotogenes  to  be  valued 
as  they  deferral  among  the  Rhodians. 
lie  acknowledged  that  Protogenes  was

Which  rlie  min  hid  noticed  :  but  on  the 
day  following  the  (boemaker  began  to 
animadvert  m  the  leg;  upon  which  A- 
pellcs  with  fome  anger  looked  one  from

to  his  own  province,  "  Ne  furor  ultra

By  way  of  intrif'uflion,  it  may  be  De-

cerning it.  One  evening  in  the  winter  of 
1786, 1  heard  relared  a  detail  of  domellie 
woe,  the  ctnfl  of  misfortune.  -I  found 
that  a  lolleflinn  was  fct  on  foot  for  the

round  their  horiton i — by  failures  ■- 
broad  and  in  England,  the  fortune  of 
Theophilus  began  to  leflen ;  but  they, 
by  prudence,  attention,  and  (economy, 
ft  rove  againft  the  tide  of  misfortune  ;— 
alas !  in  vain  ;  iheit  bark,  already  shat- 
tered, was  unable  to  bear  againft  a 
wave  that  at  once  overwhelmed  them. 
"A  lioufe  abroad,  with  which  Theophi- 
lui  had  formed  a  moll  entcnfive  eon-

rupt ; — reduced,  in  a  Jhurt  period,  from 
affluence  to  poverty.

(he  folate  of  the  miferable,  while  there 
was  any  rclburcc  untried,  Hilt  dwelt 
within  hit  bofom,  and  guarded  it  from 
the  tyrant  Defpair.  He  was  perfuadeJ 
to  come  up  to  London,  ar-.d  endeavour 
to  get  into  hufwefi  or  employment 
there.  He  accordingly  fit  out,  with 
his  wile  and  family,  for  the  metropolis, 
in  hopes  that,  at  the  mart  of  Europe, 
the  emporium  of  the  world,  he  might 
find  fubfiftence  f-r  his  wife  and  chil- 
dren. Vain- hope  !  fruitlefs  endeavour! 
He  found  the  inhabitants  fo  bufied  in 
their  own  concerns,  lo  taken-up  with 
fcuiinefs,  pie;: Cure,  and  diHipation,  that

They  were  fcareely  fettled  in  mifera- 
ble  apartments -before  the  hand  of  Sick- 
jiefs  wis  laid  upon  them.  His  wife,  the 
partner  of  his  heart,  the  patient  (barer  of 
fcis  afflictions,  fell  ill ;  a  fever  preyed 
on  her,  which  at  length  yielded  to  time 
and  medicinei  the  prayers  of  a  defpair-

to  endure  Dill  greater  'pain  and  mifery. 
Theophilut  in  vain  renewed  his  endea-

from    him    all    feafe    of    his    prefem 

Paufc,  for  a  moment,  gentle  reader, 
on  this  complicated  fcenc  of  woe  :  be- 
hold, before  you,  a  wife  weeping  over  a 
hufband,  apparently  on  his  death-bed, 
furrounded  by  children  whofe  cries  of 
unappeafed  hunger  pierced  her  heart; 
grief  had  rendered  her  almoft  fenfe- 
(eft. 

About  this  time,  chance  had  brought 
to  them  an  acquaintance  who  bad  a 
flight  knowledge  of  them  during  their 
prosperity ;  hit  heart  melted  at  the  fight 
of  mifery  lb  acute;  his  purf'e  opened 
for  their  immediate  relief;  and  among 
his  fiends  procured  a  fupply  of  necrQi- 
ries.  But  who  can  paiht  the  gratitude 
of  this  unfortunate  family,  relieved 
frnm  the  horrors,  of  flarving  by  the  in-

of  his  friends,  to  further  aid  and  alull 
them. 

Here  ended  the  relation  as  it  was  at  the 
period  when  the  foregoing  partieulirt 
were  put  to  paper;  and  I  (eel  myfclf

relieved  from  want,  and  likely,  in  Tome

though  not  reftorcd  to  affluence,  he  is 
placed  rather  above  "the  bitter gratjM

itiefc  are  fault!  for  which  you,  Mr. 
Urban,  or  any  other  liberal  critic,  would 
nor,  I  am  fure,  cenfure  him. 

Our  critic  certainly  talkt  »ery  learn- 
edly about  mufic,  at  learnedly  as  it  Dr. 
Burney  had  flood  at  hit  elbow  while  he 
wrote.  Here,  undoubtedly,  Mr.  W.  it 
no  match  for  him;  for  he  infinuatet  in 
his  Preface  hit  (lender  kntwleo^e  of  the 
theory  of  mufio.  '•  When  I  happen 
(fays  he)  to  fpeak  fcientifically  of  mufic, 
it  11  Mr.  Befuford  that  generally  dic- 
tates." But  mufic  was  not  hit  [heme ; 
hii  fubjeft,  however,  involving  it,  he 
waa  neceffirtted  to  fpeak  occafioaally  of 
it,  at  an  hifiorian. 

Both  Bruce  and  Dr.  Burney  null 
certainly  be  very  angry  with  Mr.  W, 
for  telling  hit  mind,  wkh  all  the  can- 
dour  of  youth,  about  the  Thebao  harp, 
and  will  probably,  on  that  account,  cen- 
fure both  him  and  hit  Mtmiri,  io  their 
refpeAive  publication!  now  in  the  prefi. 
To  this,  however,  I  would  ad  vile  him 
to  fit bm  it  patiently.     So  young 

thor  mould  not  attempt  r

But  I  fear  I  am  trtfpam'ng  too  much

at  Lincoln  «ur,  of  thofe  who  of  ply  to  have  their 
Dames  infmed  in  the  commiliion,  in  a 
very  few  year)  it  will  be  found  difficult* 
to  prevail  on  men  of  fartnat  and  abili- 
ties to  act,  and  run  the  rifi  of  attending 
quarter  felTions.  You  may  obferre,  I 
have  united  fortune  and  abilities  as  Two

There  it  __ 
which  1  do  not  remember  to  have

A  lid/ and  gentleman,  who  wifh  to  re-

fashionable  as  to"  think,  thatthefc  ui

a  refpeOable  bench  ofjullices.  Without 
the  fitfl,  contempt,  without  the  latter, 
error  and  oppreifion  take  place.

cooliderable  fumi  are  fometimes  collect-

The  utility  of  thefe  inltitutiona,  befidei

Mr.  U«BAK(  Marti  i'. 

I  HAVE  read  with  pleafure  the  Istier 
(vol.  LVII.  pr-?;  '°5)  concerning 
incorporated  boroughs,  in  which  that 
fubjeft  is  treated  with  the  fagaciry  of 
an  Antiquarv,  and  the  temper  nf  a  pbi- 
lofophet.  The  curfory  reflection  on 
jufticcs  of  the  peace,  with  which  the 
letter  doles,  taught  my  ere ;  and  1  am 
heartily  forry  that  your  correfpondent, 
ioflead  of  tugging  it.on  to  the  end  of  a 
ferved  it  for  the  (lib- 


of  parochial 
ledge.  But,  alas  I  all  his  good  - 
qualities  are  rendered  ufelefs  by  pafliona 
ungovernably  furious,  a  faniiftic  whim- 
fical  wife,  and  a  penchant  for  Jlri3lj 
enforcing  the  game-lawt.  If  any  one 
is  fo  injudicious  as  to  venture  to  difa- 
gree  with  him  in  opinion,  if  his  wife 
happens,  by  her  ftrangc  fancies,  fo  ex- 
cite the  mirth  or  notice  of  his  neigh- 
bours, or  if  a  longing  woman  prefumei, 
in  fpite  of  the  statute,  to  taite  hare's 
fletb,  neither  prudence  nor  pity,  can 
prevent  the  moll  violent  rage,  and  the 
moA  moderate  revenge.  Without  any 
juftiee  in  the  neighbourhood  of  property 
or  importance  fufficient  to  with  Hand  his 
outrages,  he  is  degenerated  into  that 
word  of  all  defpoti,  a  judicial  tyrant. 

In  the  other  partih,  the  principal  juf- 
ticc  is  a  good-natured  fox-hunter,  who 
fpends  his  days  on  horfeback,  and  hit 
evenings  in  eating  and  drinking.  He  re- 
gularly  attends  the  ju (lice- meeting;  and, 
when  bufmeft  begins  pouring  in,  he 
opens  as  follows,  rirlt  taking  out  his 
watch  :  "  Well,  Gentlemen,  too  arc 
better  acquainted  with  Burn  and  Black- 
Done  than  1  am  i  you  will  recollect  that 
dinner  is  to  be  ready  at  four."  He  then 
retires  to  an  adjoining  room,  which  he 
devotes  to  »  more  plcafing  amufement 
with  the  landlord's  daughter — his  bmm- 
bli  breihrcn  are  too  well-bred  to'break 
in  on  his  pleasures.  Thus,  though  Na- 
turally a  good  kind  of  man,  he  gives  up  i

fuch  lublime,  and,  at  far  at  they  go,

the  infallible  inference  from  them,  that 
it  was  the  extreme  of  folly  to  make  any

the  height  of  impiety  to  pay  religioui

a  herd  of  divinities  i  Being  in  poffelfion 
of  the  prcmifes,  did  it  require  a  great

At  the  fame  time,  in  the  deplorable  ig-

It  is  Full  time  that  Britain  fhould  be

withes  for  a  revolution  among  you) 
your  fufferingt  and  your  perfecutiont  on

credit  of  completing  the  work.  If  you 
do  this,  all  good  men  will  applaud  you, 
government  mud  attend  to  you,  your 
own  hearts  will  approve  of  your  con- 
duit. 

I  know  not  whether  there  be  any 
funds  left  in  your  country,  at  the  difpo- 
fal  of  government,  which  could  be  al- 
lotted Tor  your  provifion.  But  certain-

the  bones  are  not  perfectly  petrified;  but 
they  are  much  harder  than  in  their  Iw-

united  with  the  flonc,  that  there  it  no

were  taken  up  at  a  confiderable  depth 
from  the  furface,  and  have.  I  think,  the

P-S.  Upon  a  clofer  examination,  I 
think  I  may  pronounce  the  bone*  to  be 
a  perfect  petrifaction;  but  to  the  eye 
they  feem  fo  perfect  a  bone,  that  they 
deceived  me.  They  are  of  a  fine  poliffa, 
and  of  a  dark  brown  colour.  P.T.

ODE      ON      HOPE. 
MIGHTY  LORD  r  it  whrfe  com- 

The  iigh  tnings  torca  their  way ; 
Tke  echoing  whirlwinds  feel  thy  hand. 

And  harrow  np  the  fea. 
foftant  rTie"oillows  bound  amain 

And  glory  in  their  height  j 
Forlorn,  the  faitor  turns  with  pain 

His  eyes  upon  the  fight. 
The  mart  into  the  deep  to  drive, 

The  raftlefs  winds  aflail ; 
Though  Hope,  Tweet  maid,  is  ftill  anW- 

Yet  pride  and  fpirks  fiiiL 
■"he  failor,  on  a  foreign  coaft 

By  beating  lempefts  driven. 
His  weary  hands,  a  ftranger  loft. 

Lifts  up  in  hope  to  Heaven. 
Lord,  fo  direct  and  form  my  miadU 

That  I  may  ne'er  defnair  1  .    • 

O  let  me  always  be  refign'd,  l 

And  hope  for  better  cheer  I  * 

O  grant,  that,  if  a  parent  die,  '  ** 

A  friend,  or  darling  boy,  i 

Thetear  of  grief  may  wet  mjyeye» 

Bat  lean  me  hope  of  joy  [  ' 

Though  Fortune  Ihnuld  ordah  roe  poor. 

And  lurdfhip's  fate  impnfe  i  . 

Yet  give  me  hope,  I  ahc  no  more, 

A  future  to  my  woes ! 
Though  the  rich  fhonld  fcom  my  view, 

Though  barr*d  from  fame  and  praife. 
The  humble  track  1  tnnft  porfua 

Gives  hope  for  better  days.

The  novel*  of  the  tall  age  were  of  the

a  picture  of  life  indeed,  but  had  a  ten-

more  warm  and  inflammatory,  and  more 
fuited  to  life  and  manner*  j  which,  to

much  obliged  by  the  writing! of  aFrench

no  more  than  to  fay,  that  tlte  boys  ate

My  dear  Sir, 

THAT  the  prrfent  Pretender  was  in 
London  in  the  year  1753,  I  know 
with  the  grtatcft  certainty,  becaule  I 
had  it  from  Lord  Marechil,  who  laid  it 
confiftcd  with  bis  certain  knowledge. — 
Two  or  three   daya  after  hit  Lord  Clip 

Sive  me  this  information,  he  told  me, 
at  the  evening  before  he  had  learned 
fereral  curioin  particulars  from  a  lady 
(who  I  imagined  to  be  Lady  Primrofe), 

*  Befiiles  thefe  occupations,  Mr.  Ma" 
thew,  at  the  lime  I  knew  him,  wax  a_Aw»f. 
He  would  then  walk  -o  01-40  miles  a  .by 
to  attend  the  feafls  of  the  florifts,  in  pur- 
suit of  their  annul!  priies.  In  1774  I  met 
him  at  Rdtherliaro  in  Yurklture,  to  which 
place  he  had  brought  two  auriculas  for  that 
pnrpofe  :  dno  it  was  indeed  fnrprifmc,  to 
Obferve  tire  ruddinefs  of  his  countenance, 
and  ev*ry  other  fympum  of  health  which

The  Pretender  umt  to  her  houfe  in  the 
evening,  without  giving  her  any  prepa- 
ratory information,  and  catered  the  room 
when  Die  had  a  pretty  large  company 
with  h*r,  and  was  litrfclf  playing  at 
cards.  He  was  announced  by  the  fer- 
Vint  under  another   name  i  Die  thought 


pe£t  to  fee  here."  "  It  wu  curiofity 
that  led  me,"  laid  the  otheri  "  but 
I  alTure  you, "added  he,"  that  the  per. 
fori  who  i)  the  object  of  all  thii  pomp 
and  magnificence,  is  the  man  1  envy

great  face  of  probability.     Query, 


the  cards  would  hate  dropped  from  her     what  if  the  Pretender  had  taken  up  Dy- 
"  mock's  gauntlet  ? 

1  find  that  the  Pretender's  vifit  in  Eng- 
land in  the  year  1753,  was  known  to  ill 
the  Jacobites ;  and  -nine  of  them  hare 
affured  me,  that  he  look  the  opportunity 
of  formally  renouncing  the  Roman  C»-

name  he  illumed,  to  aik  him  when  he 
came  to  England,  and  how  long  be  in- 
tended to  flay  there.  After  he  and  all 
the  company  went  awav,  the  fern 01 1 
remarked  how  wonderfully  like  the  tholic  religi 
Orange   •Jentieinao    was    to  the   Prince'*      Cbarlt     " 


which  hong  on  the  chit 
piece  in  the  very  room  in  which  ho  en- 
tered.— My  Lord  added  (I  think  from 
t!i.:  authority  of  the  fame  Lady),  that  he 
ulerl  fo  little  precaution,  that  he  went  a- 
broid  openly  in  divlight  in  hii  own 
drefs,  only  laying  afide  his  blue  ribband 
and  ftar ;  walked  once  through  St. 
James's,  and  took  aturn  in  the  Mall. 

Almut  fire  years  ago,  I  told  this  flory 
tn  Lord  Holderncf.,  who  was  Stcutary' 
of  btate  in  the  year  1 753  ;  and  I  added, 
that  I  (11  r  poled  this  piece  of  int'liigroce

By  no  means,  faid  he  ;  and  who  do  vou

was  puzzled  how  to  reply,  Kir  if  he  de- 
elated  his  real  feniimenti,  they  might 
favour  of  indifference  to  the  royal  fa-

IN  a  couverfation  among  fome  perfont

brutes  r  The  Works  of  Lord  Mon- 
boddo  (whole  invelltgationt  of  this  iub-

Then  let  us  oblcrve  the  (late  of  a  clown, 
who,  from  his  infancy,  has  been  totally

Upun  entering  the  boat  :o  pafs  thii  tance  for  us  to  hear  what  palled.  Their 
-L  -  ippofite  bank  lined  converfation  was  long;  and,  growing 
'  impatient,  I  defiled  Mr.  B.  to  alight, 
and  enquire  if  there  were  no  officers  in

one,  to  bring  him  forward,  that  we 
might  come  ti>  an  explanation  with  him, 
Mr.  B.  concurred  with  me  in  opinion,

ttiltf,  but  abfolurely  refuted  Mr.  B'» 
offer  to  lend  off  the  cxpreli  in  one  of 
our  chailes,  and  to  accompany  il,  in 
order  to  hall  en  11s  return.  All  that  we 
tould  obtain  of  this  officer,  worthy  by 
hit  rough  manners  to  feme  in  the  Vry 
Corps,  wit  to  permit  Mr.  B.  to  write 
fome  lines  to  Gen.  Van  Ryffel,  with 
which  he  fent  a  borfeman  of  his  com- 
pany. 

I  next  obferved,  that,  as  it  wai  but 
three  leagues  From  the  place  where  we 
were  to  Van  Ryflel's  quarters,  it  wa* 
not  pioper  o  keep  the  Princefs  waiting 
in  the  middle  of  the  road  til)  the  return 
of  the  cxpreft,  and  1  defired  the  officer 
to  cond  nit  us  to  fome  place  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood, where  her  Royal  Highneft 
might  be  more  at  her  cafe.  To  this  he 
confented,  and  we  prepared  for  our  de- 
parture. Part  of  the  cavalry  and  the 
volunteers  went  behind  the  carriage, 
making  fucha  noife  as  I  fuppofe  high- 
waymen would  do  upon  a  good  priae. 
1  could  not  obferve  the  leaft  difcipline 
or  fiibordinauon  in  thii  whole  troop, 
except  what  was  fhewn  by  the  lieute- 
nant of  horfe  to  the  officer  of  the  vo- 
lunteers 1  he  never  fpokc  to  him  but 
with  his  hat  in  his  hand,  and  wc  fait 
plainly  that  he  depended  on  him  for  bis 
orders,  though  the  latter  was  not  at  all 
depended  on  by  hie  miferablcrron p.  They 
placed  thcmfelvct  bthind  and  before  the 
carriage  jufl  ai  they  thought  fit.  In  this 
eon  fu  (ion  one  of  the  Princefs's  coach- 
horfes  took  fright,  and  I  expected  every 
moment  they  would  overfet  the  coach 
in  one  of  the  dykes  on  each  fide  of  the 
road.  Mr.  B.  and  I  leaped  out  of  the 
carriage  to  affifl,  but  the  Vry  Corps  had 
the  infolence  to  hinder  at.  Meanwhile 
the  Princcft's  fcrvants  difengaged  the 
horfes  from  the  traces,  and  we  let  off, 
conducted  like  prifbners,  wc  knew  not 
where.  On  the  road,  we  learnt  that 
they  were  carrying  us  10  a  place  called 
the  Gevrrwtlft  Sluyt,  where  we  ar- 
rived at  feven  o'clock,  in  ihe  evening. 
The  Princefs  and  her  fuite  were  con- 
duSSd  ro  the  quarter*  of  the  commander 

le  troops  th,.t 
convoyed  ut  carried  us  all  together  into 
the  fame  room,  and  her  Royal  H.gh- 
neli's  attendants  into  another  adjoining. 
They  placed  ecntineli  at  all  the  doors, 
and  took  the  mofl  ridiculous  precauti- 
ons, to  far  at  to  caufc  three  foidUn, 
with  their  fwordt  drawn,  to  accompauy 
one  of  her  Highnels's  waiting-maids, 
whu  had  occafiun  to  go  to  a  plate,  whi- 


ther, probably,  no  woman  was  ever  fa 
cl'corred.  The  officer  who  conduQed 
u»  wai,  however,  polire  after  his  fa- 
lhion.  He  flayed,  at  firfl,  with  his  fword 

drawn  t-i  the  Princefs's  chamber ;  but 
fome  of  her  Higlmeft'i  attendants  hav- 
ing obferved  to  him  that  (his  was  not  at 
all  proper,  he  made  no  difficulty  of  put- 
ting it  up  again  into  his  fcabturd.  He 
carried  his  polittnefs  fo  far  as  to  offer 
her  Royal  Highneft   and  her  fuite  wine 

fining  crofs-legged  bv  her  fide.  Her 
Highneft  readily  forgave  him  this  want 
of  refpeft,  plainly  feeing  that  he  was  a 
good  kind  of  brute,  whom  chance  had 
made,  from  a  thot  maker  or  a  taylor, 
captain  of  the  Vry  Corps. 

After  fame  hours,  her  Highneft  re- 
ceived  a  vifit  from  ihe  comin.illioners  of 
the  States  of  Holland  rcfiding  at  Woer- 
den.  Her  fuite  went  into  ihe  next 
room  1  but  I  mult  obferve,  tha>,  during 
the  convention  thefe  gentlemen  held 
with  her  Highneft,  they  kept  the  officer 
of  the  Vry  Corps  conflantly  in  the  room, 
whence  I  conclude  that  they  confiJcrcd 
her  a>  their  pn  loner.  They  began  by 
affcing  her  Highntfs  tne  rhuiive  of  her 
journey,  and  if  Ihe  meant  to  go  to  the 
Hague.     She  fatjsfjed  their  enquiries, 

priie  at  what  had  happened.  Thty 
then  made  their  Cxcufei,  and  endea- 
voured to  palliate  their  conduit,  con- 
cluding with  telling  her,  that  they  had 
been  obliged  to  keep. to  their  orders, 
which  were  extremely  DriQ  ;  that  they 
had  difpatched  an  cxp  eft  to  the  Stales, 
to  inform  them  of  wiur  had  happened, 
and  to  get  their  farther  orders  t  thar, 
till  the  return  of  rhe  expreft,  it  was  im- 
port! ble  for  them  to  let  her  proceed  on 
her  journey  i  and  thai  they  defired  her 
ro  choofe  fome  neighbouring  town  to 
pafs  the  night  in.  They  propofed  to 
her  WoerdenorSchoonh'ivtn.  She  had 
at  firfl  propofed  Oouda,  which  was 
nearer! ;  but  as  they  made  many  diffi- 
culties, and  were  apprehenfive  of  an 
infurrcflion,  Ihe  did  not  infill  an  it,  in 
order  to  prove  the  lincerity  of  the  af- 
furauces  which  Ihe  had  given  them. 
She  'IijJ  alfo  thought  of  returning  back 
to  Leerdam,  but  the  difficulty  of  get- 
ting horfes  made  her  determine  for 
ScJioonhovcn,  whither  two  of  the  com* 
miil.oneis  accompanied  her  with  an 
clcort  of  ho.  It. 

It  was  about  midnight  when  we  ar-

It  is  fufpefltd  that  >  third  reafon 
why  the  period  preceding  the  Cinque  ft , 
by  far  the  moft  important  of  our  hif-

Saaona  to  the  Conqueft)  and  from  the 
Conqueft  till  now.  Each  period  con- 
tains  about  (even  centuries.  In  Greek 
or  Roman  hiftory,  either  period  would 
occupy  muehabout  the  fame  room.  But 
the  proportion  iu  ours  it,  that  the  for* 
mer  part  fills  half  a  volume  j  the  latter, 
feven  volumes  and  a  half!  In  Mcicray, 
the  part  of  French  hiftory  preceding  the 
year  1066  fills  two  volumes  and  a  half  ( 
four  volumes  and  a 


.    had  perhaps  half.    This  latter  proportion  is  superior 

great  weight  with  thofe  who  knew  not  to  ours  j  and  we  might  at  Icafl  allot  two

be  admitted  into  the  Englifh  porn  on

Mr.  Pm  declared,  that  he  was  as  dc- 
(irons  as  the  Hon.  Hart,  or  any  other 
gentleman,  that  a  permanent  regulation 
might  take  pla-e  It  was,  howivtr, 
impoifible  that  Such  a  regulation  could 
be  introduced  into  the  pre  lent  bill, 
which;  from  the  exigency  of  the  cafe, 
Ihould  not  be  delayed.  On  the  expira-

permanent  regulation  would  be  offered 
to  the  Houfe.

mannus,  though  extant  in  the  Vatican  MS. ;  nor  has  thedefea  been  fnpplied  in  the  Paris  or

(htwuuwkKfrmt-V+) 

VOL.LVII.p.  107, art.  1.— Thit  ar- 
ticle rightly  Kates,  that  the  Church 
ha!  no  power  to  frame  new  Articles  of 
Faith.  Bui  it  does  not  clearly  aflert, 
thai  the  definitions  of  Councils  fliould  be 
founded  on  the  Scripturei.  It  therefore 
feeins  to  luppufe  that  the  Faithful  are 
obliged  to  an  interior  affent  by  the  dcei- 
11.H15  of  a  Council  in  matter*  of  faith, 
though  they  be  founded  only  on  uncer- 
tain tradition. 

\.  The  Pa  pi  lis  certainly  believe  an 
infallibility  to  be  in  their  Church. 
Though  they  differ  in  opinion,  whether 
it  is  polTefled  by  tfie  Pope  alone,  or  the 
Pope  aifclted  by  a  Council.  But  in  what 
Bull  of  any  Pope,  or  Decree  of  a  Coun- 
cil confiimed  by  a  Pope,  is  this  excep- 
tion of  matters  of  fact,  difcipline,  fpe- 
culalion.'aiid  civil  policy,  to  he  found  t 
And  by  what  argument  is  it  proved, 
that  the  fuccceding  Governors  of  The 
Church  afe  equally  infallible  with  the 
Apoflles? 

3.  Though  noCatholic  can  /ubmitlo 
a  decree  of  the  Pope,  or  a  Council,  cic- 
pnilng  his  rightful  King,  confidently 
with  his  duty  as  a  Chrlflian  ;  yet  we 
know,  by  many  examples  in  Uiftory, 
that  Papifts  in  general  readily  obey  fuch, 
decrees,  and  are  therefore  dangerous 
fulijcQs  to  a  prince  whom  they  efltcm 
heretical.  It  is  a  poor  recommendation 
of  the  Church  of  Rome  to  acknowledge 
that  its  governors  have  frequently  mif- 
taken  their  power  in  fo  capital  a  point 
as  the  life  and  dominions  of  a  ting,  and 
itl'ued  decrees  which  a  Chnflian  ought 
by  no  means  to  obey. 

4.  If  there  is  no  Catholic  principle 
encouraging  the  dcpofition  of  heretical 
principles,  what  do  the  advocates  of  the 
Romilli  Religion  lay  of  thole  Popes  who 
hare  dcpolcd  Kings,  and  preached  up 
erufades  agatnft  pious  Chniiians,  whom 
they  llilcd  Heretics? 

5.  It  has  never  yet  been  proved,  that 
(lie  Bilhop  of  Rome  it  the  fijcccflor  of 
St.  Peter.  Nor  does  it  appear  from 
S.i'ipture  that  St.  Peter  exercifed  any 
authoiity  over  the  rcit  of  the  Apoflles. 
The  Church  of  Rome,  therefoie,  may 
he  fitly  flylcd.  a  corrupt  part  of  the 
Chrillian  Church,  which  has,  with  great 
piT'igance,  allumcd  to  itfelf  the  name  of 
Catholic,  whilfi  fo  many  coiifidirsble 
J'uciciiet  of  C.imftians  <ifpwn  her  au- 
tliculv. 


6.  Several  Popes  have  iflnec!  out  de- 
crees, as  if  they  were  infallible,  and 
have  refufed  to  obey  the  -decifions  of 
Councils.  We  do  not  believe  an*  man, 
or  body  of  men,  to  be  infallible  fince 
the  time  of  the  Apoflles ;  and  it  is  un- 
fortunate  for  the  claim  of  the  Church 
of  Rome,  that  her  advocates  do  new 
agree  where  her  pretended  infallibility 
it  lodged.  But  whilA  all  the  Pipifti 
own  the  univerfal  fupremacy  of  the 
Pope,  numbers  of  them  will  always  be 
ready  to  Men  to  him  as  infallible  in 
every  command.  On  thit  account,  Po- 
pery has  a  direCt  tendency  to  make 
men  bad  fubje&s,  as  long  as  thit  claim 
is  not  formally  given  up  by  the  Pope 
himfelf. 

7.  However  vain  and  null  the  Pope's 
lenience  of  depofition  may  be  in  itfelf, 
Hiflery  Ihews  that  many  Pa  pills  have 
rifen  againft  their  natural  Princes,  in 
blind  obedience  to  the  Pope.  Should,  . 
therefore,  the  Rilbop  enjoy  now  at 
much  power  as  did  Come  of  his  prede- 
ceffors,  Princes  flylcd  Heretical  could 
have  little  dependence  upon  the  loyalty 
of  their  Popiih  luhjefls. 

G.  It  would  undoubtedly  be  unjuflto 
punifli  one  man  for  the  erroneous  doc- 
ttincs  of  another,  when  he  dues  net 
abet  them.  But  the  Papifh  are  (Irongly 
linked  together,  and   Bigoted   in   their 

■9.  If  one  Council  has  condemned  tbe 

king-killing  d»arinc,  this  will  not  juf- 
tify  the  Popes,  who  have  excited  unjult 
.wars  againft  Princes,  in  which  tbey  may 
be  ilain  in  battle.  It  wants  farther 
proof,  therefore,  than  a  bare  'alTcrtian, 
that  this  dflelrine  is  uni vet fally  admit- 
ted, in  the  RomiOi  Church,  to  be  im- 
pi-jus  and  execrable.  The  decree  or 
page  Jhould  have  been  quoted,  at  well 

10.  Perfonal  Mifdcmeanors  feem  too 
foft  an  exprelnon  to  be  applied  to  fuch 
enormous  facts  at  the  Powder  Plot  and 
Iriifc  MatTacte.  If  fuch  attempts  are 
excited  by  the  perfecting  acal  in  pro* 
pagating  their  opinions,  for  which  Po- 
pery has  been  always  remarkable)  and 
if  fuch  lcnl  has  bt-en  encouraged  and 
applauded  by  the  Governors  of  their 
Church;  they  muft  caft  a  itain  upon 
tfie  body  of  the  Papiils;  and  all  of  that 
religion,  who  dc  not  exprtflly  and  fin- 
ccrtly  difclatm  them,  may  be  judged 
abctturt.  The  pretence  of  e*  a  get  ration 
in  our  account  of  ihclc  fafls  it  uf  little

Mr.  UtBAN,  May  xx. 

IN  confequcoee  of  a  cucfory  perulal  o 
the  Notes  10  the  new  edition  of  "Thi 
Spectator,"  I  trouble  you  with  the  fol- 
lowing obfcrvations. 

Vol.  II.  p.  16.   Contains  many  fenfi- 
ble  obfcrvaiions,  made  by  the  Spectator 
on  Duelling;   the  rationale  of  which  (if     fpecii 
it  has  any)   I  conceive  to  be  conllantly     N* 
mlflakcn  by  thofe  who  have  pioftlkdly 
written  on  the  fubjcil. 

Ibid.  p.  1+8.  Therirft  letter  in  this 
paper  humouroofly  cxpofes  the  cuHom

obfervaticns  on  duelling  lead  me  to

ther is  requifite  lo  procure  a  clergyman 
that  refpeft  which  will  give  due  weight 
to  the  excrofe  of  hie  public  functions? 
If  the  education  of  a  common  excite- 
man  or  mechanic  qualifies  for  the  cleri- 
cal office,  why  do  wc  fpend  to  many 
years  at  fchool  and  in  colleger  The 
vulvar,  who  are  the  bulk  of  mankind, 
always  look  up  with  the  moA  profound 
refpeft  to  a  man  of  letters  :  and  I  tvill 
maintain,  that  it  it  abfolutely  nccefbry 
to  the  parochial  ciedit  of  every  clergy- 
man, that  he  be  refpefttd,  not  only  as  a 
nan  of  piety  and  worth,  but  ai  a  fcholar 
and  a  gentleman.  And  can  we  expeft 
either  the  addrefs  and  manners  of  a 
gentleman,  or  the  accompli  (h  me  ntt  of  a 
scholar,  from  one  who,  before  his  head 
•  unfortunately  came  into  contaft  with 
apifcopal  bands,  never  aObciatcd  with 
any  above  the  rank  of  farmers,  excifc- 
men,  and  mechanics  ? 

Piety  and  humility,  gentlcnefs  and 
•ondeicenlion,  ought  to  be  the  diftin- 
guifliing  eharafteriflics  of  minincra  of 
the  Gcfpcl.  They  ought,  indeed,  10 
charaftcrife  every  one  who  profeflcs  and 
calls  himfelf  a  Chrifiian.  But  unlefi  to 
the  aboTCmcntioncd  qualities  a  clergy- 
man adds  a  competent  (hare  of  claflical 
and  philofophical  learning,  and,  above 
all,  a  critical  knowledge  of  the  facied 
writings,  how  will  he  be  able  to  "ex- 
hort and  to  convince  gainfayers."  or 
•■  rightly  to  divide  the  word  or  truth  ?" 
He  may,  indeed,  with  the  help  of  good 
lungs  and  a  good  voice,  perform  the 
public  and  common  routine  of  office,  to 
the  farisfaftion  of  bis  hearers;  and,  if 
he  has  been  fortunate  enough  to  Hum- 
ble upon  a  good  collection  of  Sermons, 
he  may  fliini-  in  the  pulpit.  But,  as  the 
pious  and  excellent  Hi  (hop  Burnet  ob- 
fervci,  in  his  «  I'altoral  Care,"  "  he 
understands  little  of  the  nature  and  ob- 
ligations of  the  prieflly  office,  who 
thinks  he  has  diftharged  it  by  perform- 
ing the  public  appointments.  In  thtfe, 
all  are  alrnoft  alike:  but  the  difference 
between  one  clergyman  and  another 
Ihews  itfelf  mote  ienfibly  in  hi<  private 
labours,  in  his  prudent  deportment,  in 
his  modell  and  difcreet  way  of  procur- 
ing refpt.ee  to  himfeif,  in  his  matin]*  hit 


parilh,  either  i 

art  ill  example  to  others." 
■  No  clergyman,  therefore,  who  makei 
a  confidence  of  his  duty,  will  be  fatisfied 
with  barely  performing  the  publicof- 
ficts  which  are  required  of  him.  He 
knows  that  it  is  incumbent  upon  him  to 
exhort,  admonifh,  and  inltruft  in  pi- 
rate, as  well  as  in  public ;  in  fhort,  to 
be  "  infUut  in  fcafon  and  out  of  fcafon." 
He  confiders  himfelf  as  the  father  of  hit 
flock,  as  their  inflruaor,  advifer,  snd 
guide,  in  their  molt  important  concerns. 
He  is  always  ready  to  offer  them  hii 
belt  advice,  his  lyntpathy,  and  hit 
prayers.  His  godlike  office  is,  "to  eafc 
the  opprtfled,  and  raife  the  finking 
heart."  it  is  hi)  bufineft  and  delight 
to  teach  his  people  how  to  improve  the  | 
various  difpenfationt  of  Providence,  to 
adminifter  con  filiation  to  the  affliQeg, 
and  to  "  fmooth  the  bed  of  death."— 
But  when  the  low-bred  and  illiterate 
engage  in  fo  arduous  and  important  an 
office,  is  it  to  be  fuppofed  that  they  eta 
acquire  the  refpeft  or  confidence  of 
thofe  who  are  committed  to  his  charge! 
Prepofteroui,  indeed,  to  think  that  per- 
Ton;,  who  have  need  to  be  inflrufted  itt 
"  the  firft  principles  of  the  oracles  of 
God,"  Ihould  be  able  to  communicate 
knowledge  to  the  ignorant,  to  refolre 
the  doubts  of  the  weak  and  the  fcropu> 
lous,  to  fupport  the  drooping  foul  in  the 
hour  of  darknefs  and  defpair,  and  to 
arm  it  againfl  the  fear  of  death.

This  letter  lhall  offer  a  few  remarks 
on  the  liilloty  of  Wales.  The  ancient 
hiftorical  documents  concerning  Wales 
arc  very  few  ;  and  it  is  matter  of  great- 
er reproach  that  even  thefe  few  have 
been  ncglcAed.  When  Nennius  and 
Samuel  wrote  in  conjunction,'  in  the 
year  8;l,  it  it  palpable,  from  theit  pre- 
face, that  not  one"  hiftoiian  had  anicn 
in  Wales  before  them.  The  complaint 
ofGildai,  who  wrote  in  the  year  560, 
contains  very  lev  hiftoric  hints.  Gil- 
dat,  NenntUI,  and  Samuel,  only  go 
down  to  the  s'riival  of  the  Saxons  111 
the  fifth  centurv.  From  that  period  till 
»ijo,    when    Geofrey   of    Monmouth 

Kiblifhed  his  monSruui  romance, tranf 
icd  from  a  moiaiite  of  Bretagne, 
which  he  miftook  fot  a  hiftory.  not  a 
particle  of  Welch  hiftory  can  be  found, 
exaept  in  Bed..,  and  the  Saxon  Chro.

which  began  to  appear  in  the  north  of

If  in  the  libraries  jo  Wales  any  hif- 
toric document  wha.tever  can  be  reco- 
vered, written  before  the  twelfth  ecn,

certain  repairs,  alterations,  decorations,  and 
improvements,  in  (lie  Cathedral  of  LicbfiM, 
it  may  not  he  improper  to  inquire  into  the 
ground  and  foundation  of  fucli  their  applica- 
tion, and  to  (he iv,  in  few  words,  (hat  it  is  a 
requifition  neither  unreafonable  nor  novel. 

"  Tile  fabric  of  this  Cathedral,  Sir,  is  an- 
cient ami  elegant,  inferior  to  very  few  in 
this  kingdom  ;  hut,  by  length  of  time,  anil 
through  the  inability  of  the  Dean  and  Cliap- 
ter,  who  have  but  a  fcauty  fund  for  its  fun- 
port,  is  grown  much  out  of  order,  and  in 
fomo    parts  ruinous.    One  material 


want  of  a  general  repair,  attends  it,  which 
is,  th.-tt  the  congregation,  by  raafim  of  the 
fmallncfs  and  incommodinufnefsof  the  choir, 
are  obliged  to  remove,  whenever  there  is  a 
(ermon,  into  the  nave  or  body  of  the  church ; 
a  circum  (lance  very  awkward,  diiagrccable, 
'and  troublefome. 

"  The  Dean  and  Chapter,  Sir,  have  no 
fund,  as  was  obferveil,  adequate  even  to  the 
•ummiHi  and  necellary  reparatiun  of  their 
Cathedral,  and  much  lefs  competent  for  un- 
dertaking a  work  of  fuel]  magnitude  as  that

and  affiftanee  towards  accomplilhing,  the 
arduous  Mid' Decenary  and  honourable  en- 
terprize,  it  may  he  obierved,  that  at  the 
foundation  of  this  Cathedral  in  tlie  middle  of 
the  feventh  century,  the  Cathedral  was 
esteemed  to  be  the  A.Virr  Omnb  of  t<  e 
whole  Diocefe,  and  that  the  Parochial 
•  Churches  were  altogether  dependent  upon 
It;  that  the  Clergy,  who  then  relided  with 
the  Bifhop,  ifliied  from  (lie  Cathedral  to 
ferve  and  officiate  at  the  feveral  Churches 
in  the  Diocefe,  and  that  the  Diocefe  fur  chat 
reafon  was  commonly  called  Ptrtcbia,  as  if 
the  few  Parilh  Churches  exiftinj  in  thofe 
times  were  to  be  confidered  as  but  fo  many 
Ct-jwA  ./£»/•  >•  tr»  Cathedral.  Hence  it 
came  to  pafs,  that,  for  many  ages  after,  the 
Country  congregations  made  annual  procef- 
iions  to  the  Cathedral  m  to  their  Mvbtt 
Chore,  that  the  parochial  Clergy  fetched  the

SUMMARY  OF  THE  PROCEEDINGS  IN  PARLIAMENT,    Sejs.  V. 


bibait s  in  tbe  Ftfib  Seffiui  of  Parliamiut. 
(Couismd  frtm  p.  410.) 

Tt*rfi/*J,  February  14. 

MR-  Fax,  after  the  Common!  had 
returned  from  \Vt  ft  mi  niter-hall, 
informed  the  Houfc,  that  be  had  then 
in  his  hand  a  pamphlet,  which  contained 
grofi  libels,  not  merely  upon  individual 
t  member!,  but  upon  the  whole  legifla- 
tive  body  collectively ;  it  interfered  par- 
ticularly in  the  proceedingi  of  the 
Houfc  in  a  trial  actually  pending ;  and 
ought  not,  in  juflicc  to  the  individual 
who  was  the  fubjeft  of  that  trial,  to  the 
Houfc,  and  to  the  LcgilUture,  to  be 
palled  over  unnoticed.  At  [hit.  libel 
embraced  lb  many  objects,  he  would 
adopt  the  precedent  laid  down  lad  week, 
of  fending  it  to  the  Attorney  General, 
with  iuAru&iont  to  profecutethe  printer 
or  publiihcr :  but,  firfl,  he  read  fcveral 
paOages  from  the  pamphlet,  and  moved, 
that  it  was  the  opinion  of  that  Houfe, 
that  they  were  falfe  and  infamous  libels 
upon  the  Houfe  and  upon  Parliament  1 
and  this  motion,  he  (aid,  he  would  fol- 
low up  with  another,  for  the  Attorney 
General  to  profecute. 

Mr.  Pitt  laid,  that,  from  what  he  had 
heard  the  Right  Hon.  Gent,  read,  he 
did  not  doubt  but  the  majority  of  the 
Houfe  would  agree  that  the  pamphlet 
wat  libel  hus ;  but,  as  it  was  a  very  re- 
lent publication,  wlikh  few  of  the 
members  had  yet  had  an  opportunity  of 
feeing,  he  thought  it  would  be  belt  to 
let  it  lie  upon  tbe  table,  that  they  might 
have  time  to  confider  of  it ;  and,  00  a 
future  day,  the  Houfc  might  take  it  in- 
to confide  ration. 

Mr.  Fox  agreed  10  thil;  but  obferved, 
that,  ai  the  pamphlet  might  be  read  in 
half  an  hour,  it  did  not  require'  much 
time  for  a  gentleman  to  determine  whe- 
ther it  was  libellous  or  not ;  be  would 
therefore  move,  that  it  mould  lie  upon 
the  table  tins  day,  and  be  taken  into 
confederation  to-morrow.  It  wat  or- 
dered accordingly.

Tbe  pamphlet  it  intituled,  "  A  View 
of  the  Charges  exhibited  againft  War- 
ren (ladings,  Efq." 

The  Houfe,  in  a  committee,  heard 
Mr.  Ferrer  iefpc£ling  the  charge!  a- 
gainflSirE  Impey.  The  Hon.  Gent, 
proceeded  with  light  interruptions, 
occaftoned  bv  conversation*  on  the  ad- 
tnilfibility  of  a  few  papers  which  he  of- 
fered a*  a  part  of  his  evidence,  until  be 
came  to  the  fentence  palTed  upon  Nund- 
comar,  and  the  rcfufal  of  petitions  to 
refpite  the  judgement-  On  the  doling 
of  hi*  narrative,  it  wat  moved,  that  the 
chairman  tltould  report  progreft,  and 
alk.  leave  to  fit  again  ;  which  being  a- 
greed  to,  and  the  Houfe  relumed,  the 
chairman  reported  progref*,  and  the 
committee  wa*  ordered  to  fit  again  oa 
Monday.     Adjourned. 

Friday,  February  i(. 

Thil  day  Mr.  Fax  relumed  the  fub- 
jefi  of  the  complaint  be  had  made  ycf- 
terdav  of  the  libellous  pamphlet,  pre- 
vioully  to  hii  making  a  motion,  that 
the  following  paragraph  of  the  pam- 
phlet might  be  read  : 

"That  no  abilities)  however grear j 

vices,  however  beneficial  and  merito- 
rious ;  not  even  the  funks  of  the  Sove- 
reign, and  the  approbation  of  the  peo- 
ple; could  fcreen  aBritiih  lubjccl  tru.a 
impeachment." 

Mr.  Fox'  then  moved,  "  that  the  pam- 
phlet contained  a  libel,  highly  reflecting 
on  hi*  Majefly,  and  upon  the  proceed- 
ing* of  thit  Houfe,  and  is  an  indecent 
interference  with  refpeft  to  the  profecu- 
tion  now  depending  oq  the  impeach* 
ment  of  Warren  Hailing*,  efq." 

Mr.  Pi(l  admitted  very  readily  that 
the  pamphlet  contained  gto,fs  libel*  up- 
on individual  member*  of  the  Houle, 
and  upon  the  Houfe  itfelf;  buthecould 
not  difcover  any  thing  in  the  paragraph 
that  had  been  juft  now  read,  which,  by 
fair  interpretation,  could  be  con  II  rut  3 
into  a  libel  upon  hit  Majclly,  He 
therefore  moved,  that  the  wotd*  in  tbe 
notion,

The  piper  communicated  by  Dr. 
Code  relates  to  fome  experiments,  made, 
in  ihc  year  17E;,  in  the  Military  Hofpi-

of  patienn  fct  apart  for  thefe  trial*  wll 
thirty;  and  they  were  fttefied  by  a 
committee,  appointed  for  the  purpofc, 
from  a  much  hrger  number  of  venereal 
patients  among  the  troops  in  garrilbn  at 
Lille.  An  accurate  regiftcr  of  each

HOW  far  two  Societies  in  this  king- 
dom,.incorporated  by  royal  cbaritr  for 
fimilar  purports,  may  promote  the  in- 
icrell*  of  (ciente  and  of  literature,  time 


inburgh  owes  its  origin  to  that  na 
rional  partiality  for  which,  if  the  Scotch 
have  been  fometimes  praifrd,  they  have 
been  more  frequently,  and  perhaps  mure 
julHy,  blamed. 

During  the  courfe  of  the  prcl'int  cen- 
turv  there  has  anfen,  on,thc  other  fide 
of  the  T-vctd,  a  number  of  writers,  dc- 
ftrvedlj  f-mc.l  in  the  republic  of  ktter.i 
and  fifter  Pt»,  v.h<>,  in  the  lad  age  had,

Of  late  years,  indeed,  Die  has  even  pro.

Pig  could  'no  longer  brook.  The  fpirit 
which  made  her  apply  to  the  common 
guardian  of  iheir  fortunes  to  remove 
ttm  diftinflion,  and  to  put  facr  upon  the 
fame  footing  with  her  brother,  it  a  fpi- 
rit ivhidi  we  cannot  condemn,  and 
which  perhaps  we  feci  ourfclvct  inclin- 
ed to  applaud  ;  but  why  has  it  not  ex- 
erted itfelf  with  uniformity?  The 
Tranfaaions  of  the  Royal  Society  of 
Edinburgh,  though  undoubtedly  fab- 
li/hfj  for  the  bamaur  of  Scotland,  appear 
10  be  the  proptriy  of  an  Enzltjb  book- 
feller.  The  volume  bears,  indeed,  on 
its  title-patre,  to  have  been  printed  for 
the  Bfk/e/lir  fa  tbi  Ratal  Seculj.  But 
we  cannot  help  believing,  that  hit 
name  hat  been  made  ule  of,  mcrelv 
to  lull  the  angry  paffioot  of  the  Caledo- 
nian patriots;  and  that  Mr.  Cadclf,  by 
whom,  we  arc  informed,  the  book  11 
fold  in  London,  is  really   its  proprietor 

and  pubiiihet. 
Of  Mr.  •  «  *  •  we  do  not  remember 

to  have  heard  before ;  and  when  wt 
enquired  about  him  at  fume  of  our  bro- 
ther reviewers,  natives  of  the  city  of 
Edinburgh,  we  were  told  that,  although 
he  is  a  very  good  man,  it  was  by  00 
means  furprifing  that  he  had  not  at- 
tracted our  ootice,  as  he  never  gave, 
and  btafli  that  he  never  gave,  a  fingte 
(hilling  for  literary  property;  that  hit 
name  is  to  be  found  011  the  litis- page  of 
but  tat  book,  a  Collection  of  Hymns, 
by  the  Gt- 
ch  of  Scot- 
land ;  and  that  to  every  Scotchman  1: 
appeared  very  flrange,  that  bi  fbnuid 
have  been  employed,  rather  than  EL- 
LIOT or  Creech,  or  Tome  other  obftc- 
tric  practitioner  of  name,  to  ulher  into 
the  world  this  child  of  Caledonia.  Si- 
milar reflections  occurred  to  ourftlves. 
The  name  of  Mr.  Creech  (lands  here 
enrolled  with  the  other  names  of  the 
Scotifli  literati ;  and  Mr.  Elliot  has,  of 
late  yean,  been  atmoft  the  fole  pub-  |

On  the  fame  day,  Mr.  ProfefTor  Dal-

ciaii,  read  a  Ihon  Biographical  Account 
of  the  deceased  Dr.  William  Lothian, 
the  firli  member  whom  the  Society  had 
the  misfortune  to  (ofe.  Dr.  Lothian 
was  a  clergyman  of  the  Chuich  of  Scot- 
land, pious  and  diligent  in  the  duties  of 
his  vocation;  but  lie  was  not  dilnn- 
guiflitd  by  fuperior  excellence  of  any 
kind,  and  in  his  life  there  were  not  n- 
cilfitudea  fufficient  to  enliven  or  diver- 
fify  a  narrative.  Mr.  Daliel,  indeed, 
feemi  not  to  potTefl  the  requifite  talents 
ofa  biographer.  This  Jhort  Iketch  of 
the  lile  ul  his  friend,  which  is  pubiilh- 
«tl  in  the  Appendix  10  the  hulorical 
part  of  thefe  Tranfaflioni,  is  a  dull,

no  di  fen  mi  nation  of  character  j  it  can 
hardly  lay  claim  even  to  the  (lender 
metit  of  panegyric.  What  is  faid  of 
Br.  Loihhin,  and  it  is  not  much,  might 
be  laid  of  any  other  good  man,  and  by 
any  other  writer.

Aug.  x,  Dr.  James  Andcrfon  read  a 
paper  on  Ionic  (economical  ufes  to  which 
cjft  iron  may  be  applied.  Heobfcrvcd. 
that,  "  in  federal  mechanic  arts,  malic* 
"  of  great  weight,  liae,  and  ftrcngth. 
"  arc  required  for  bruiling  or  grinding 
"  various  fublUotes;  that  it  it  often 
"  difficult  to  procure  ftonet  of  fufficient 
"  fizt  and  fl length  for  thefe  purpoles; 
"  that  call  iron,  though  proper  in  point 
"  of  ilrengtl),  and  caiily  made  of  afmoft 
"  any  ihape,  is  fometimes  inconvenient 
"  from  its  weight,  and  is,  for  many  pur* 
"  poles,  too  expenfive."  He  propofed, 
therefore,  that  "  inflcad  of  pure  iron, 
*■  the  mould*,  in  which  fuch  niafTcs  are 
"  10  he  call,  fhould  be  neatly  tilled  with 
"  iionci  or  bricks;  a  proper  Ipace  being 
»  left  for  an  axle  where  needed,  and  a£ 
"  i ntci  Alec  between  the  ouiermofi  of 
"  them  and  the  mould;  that  then  melt* 
"  cd  iron  fhould  be  poured  in  to  rill  up 
"  every  chink,  which, cooling  and  eon- 
"  Iblidating,  would  cement  the  Hone* 
"  firmly  together,  and  cover  them  with 
*'  an  uniform  furface  of  metal," 

There  was  likewife  read,  by  Dr. 
Andrew  Duncan,  an  account  of-a  cafe 
ipinion,  that  of  obfiinate  JSngulius,  in  which  die  btft 
■on  admits  of  no  in-  eikils  had  been  produced  by  the  ule  of 
s,  and  therefore  that  a  mixture,  containing  a  dram  of  atei. 
ve  Is  iniproper."  He  d*m  ■mtriolitum  leant,  united  with  four 
le  addition  of  the  let-  ounces  of  mint,  water,  of  which  a  table

Dec.  6.  Mr.  John  Robinfon,  gene-

account  of  fume  curious  fpcculatmns  on 
the  folar  Mem  bv  Mr,  Patrick  Wilfon, 
Alfiflant  Proffffor  of  Allronomy  in  the 
univerfny  of  GUfgJV.  The  fum  of 
that  account,  at  given  here,  is  not  very 
pcrfpicuous ;  but  it  appear*  that,  by 
v;tiujs  mtthodj  of  obrervation,  Mr. 
Wilfon  dtftovercd,  many  yean  ago, 
that  the  center  of  the  foiar  lyflem  is  in 
■notion.  If  this  be  indeed  true,  and  we 
have  no  ttefire  to  queflion  its  truth >  it 
is  perhaps  not  improbable  that  there

What  tho'  I  my  Mbe  can  apply, 

And  light  ii  whene'er  I  defire ; 
And  fee  its  fmuke  pleafaut  maaax  high, 

Virginia  flill  finding  tho  fire. 
Ah,  Winelove,  thefe  words  are  in  Tain, 

Thy  pipe  and  tobacco  give  o'er  1 
No  drops  on  tho  table  remain, 

How  Ptkcuit*  has  lock'd  up  the  door. 
And  you  my  companions  fo  dear, 

Who  forrow  to  fee  me  betray'd, 
Depriv'd  of  my  bottle  and  chear, 

So  fpiritlefs,  fad,  and  diimay'd. 
Tho'ihroogbthewiileworld  1  mould  range, 

'Tit  in  vain  from  my  fortune  to  fly, 
Tvw  Pinchey  crfaaed  this  change, 

'Tit  mine  to  be  tbirfty  and  dry. 
If  while  my  hard  fate  I  deplore, 

From  hit  breaft  all  pity's  not  fled, 
Once  again  let  him  ope  the  vault  door. 

And  give  me  one  bumper  of  red. 
The  lift  humble  boon  that  I  crave, 

It  thus  kindly  to  moiften  my  elay  t 
And  when  he  looks  down  on  my  grave, 

A  few  tears  of  old  port  let  him  pay. 
Then  to  a  new  place  let  him  go, 

The  tea-cups  arrange  in  array, 
And  pleate  all  the  women  with  fhoiv, 

A  footman  full  gallant  and  gay; 
While  Winelove,  forgotten  and  gone, 

No  longer  Hull  top  off  his  glafs, 
Unlefs  when  beneath  the  pale  moon, 

His  ghoft  through  the  cellar  Ihall  oafs.

Whate'er  they  fibaft  of  rich  or  gay

Proud  to  advance'it  all  they  can.
